In June 1990, the Commission presented its initial proposal for \n\nthis Directive d ). 2. The Economic and Social Committee adopted its opinion on 29 May \n\n1991<2>. 3. On 15 May 1991, Parliament adopted its opinion on the proposal, \n\nIncluding a number \n\nof amendments^3). The majority of \n\nParliament's amendments aim at clarifying the proposal, inter \n\nalia as regards its scope, as well as simplifying certain \n\nprovisions of the Directive. Parliament's amendments also \n\nconcern a number of Important issues such as exclusions of \n\ncontracts for certain services and the coverage of others; \n\nthresholds; concessions; variants; the nature of bidders \n\n(natural or legal persons); statistics; or the treatment of non-\n\nEC tenders, \n\n4. The Commission has accepted the majority of Parliament's \n\namendments, in particular those that aim at a higher degree of \n\nclarity and simplicity, although in certain cases modifying \n\nthem as appropriate In the context of the Directive. In \n\nparticular as regards the provisions on concessions, further \n\nchanges were necessary in the Interests of clarity. I I. Comments on Parliament's amendments not retained In the amended \n\nproposal \n\n5. As regards the indicative notices provided for in Article 16, \n\nthe Commission Is of the opinion that more flexibility is needed \n\nthan Parliament's amendment would allow. Experience with the \n\ncorresponding requirements under the other Directives suggests \n\n(1) 0J. No. C 23, 31. 1. 1991 \n\n(2) 0J. No. C \n\n(3) OJ. No. C \n\n\f- 4 -\n\nthat contracting authorities should be allowed to choose the \n\ndescriptive headings which correspond to their own practice and \n\nthat an exhaustive listing would not be helpful. However, the \n\nCommission will continue to reflect on this proposal in the \n\nlight of experience being gained with the Supplies and Public \n\nWorks Direct Ives. 6. As regards the provision on abnormally low offers the Commission \n\nconsiders that this should be aligned on the provisions of the \n\nother Directives which relate to public authorities, notably the \n\nPublic Works Directive (71/305/EEC)<4), and not on that of the \n\n\"Utilities \n\nDirective\" \n\n(90/531/EEC)(5) \n\nwhich \n\nrelates \n\nto \n\ndlfferent entItles. 7. The Commission has not retained a number of amendments which \n\nwere adopted by Parliament and which seek to ensure a closer \n\nsupervision of the respect by bidders of their obligations \n\nunder social and environmental legislation. In the Commission's \n\nview the supervision of such obligations is better carried out \n\nin the context of the relevant social or environmental \n\nlegislation. To use \n\nEC procurement rules for this purpose \n\nwould reduce their effectiveness In meeting their principal goal \n\nof ensuring the non-discriminatory award of public contracts. III. THE AMENDED PROPOSAL \n\n8. Changes compared to the initial proposal are underlined. The \n\nfollowing explanations take the Articles in their order. (a) Changes which do not alter the substance of the proposal \n\n9. Following the opinion of the Parliament, the Commission, In its \n\namended proposal, has replaced the term \"supplier\" by \"service \n\nprovider\". It has also, at a number of places, inserted \n\n(4) OJ. No. L 185, 16. 8. 1971 \n\n(5) OJ. No. L 297, 29. 10. 1990 \n\n\f- 5 -\n\ntexts where previously there had been a cross reference to a \n\ntext In the Public Works Directive. This applies to Art 1(b) \n\n(contracting authorities); Art 8(8) (calculation of thresholds); \n\nArt 20 (variants); Art 31 (lists of recognized suppliers). While \n\nconstituting no change of substance, the Commission accepts the \n\nParliament's view that this will assist understanding by making \n\nthe text more readable. It further has introduced minor changes \n\nIn the Articles 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 22, 26, 27, 29, 30, \n\n33, 39, 40, and In Annexes IA, IB, 1 M B, C, D, E. It had to \n\nrenumber the Articles because of the deletion of Articles as \n\na consequence of explained modifications. (b) Definition of public service contracts \n\n10. The provisions of Article 1(a) have been changed in two \n\nrespects: \n\nthe text alms to make it clear that contracts for \n\nfinancial \n\nservices are covered by the Directive, \n\nIrrespective of the fact that they may be awarded in \n\nconnection with contracts In connection with land, \n\nbuildings, or immovable, property (subparagraph (ii)), \n\nwhich are themselves excluded; \n\nthe exclusion of contracts awarded by the \"utilities\", \n\nwhich was included in the initial proposal as Article 6, \n\nhas been inserted in Article 1(a) (viii). - 6 -\n\n(c) Concessions \n\n11. The amended proposal brings together all the provisions relating \n\nto the award of public service concessions In \n\nArticle 1(h) (definition), and \n\nArticle 4 (award of concessions; rules applicable to the \n\naward of contracts by concessionaires). 12. The definition in Article 1(h) aims to distinguish, in the field \n\nof concessions which are intended to ensure that a service is \n\nmade available to the public, between \"public service \n\nconcessions\" which are covered In Article 4 of this Directive \n\nand \"public works concessions\", which are covered by the \n\nprovisions of the Public Works Directive. The principle Is that \n\nany concession which includes provision for works to be carried \n\nout should be considered to be a public works concession. All \n\nothers should be public services concessions. 13. Article 4 provides the conditions under which public service \n\nconcessions should be awarded (paragraph 1 and 2 ); the \n\nconditions under which a concessionaire which Is a public \n\nauthority should award its own contracts (paragraph 3 ); and the \n\nconditions under which their concessionaires should award their \n\nown contracts (paragraph 4 ). 14. The principle which is applied to the award of public service \n\nconcessions is one of publicity where the turnover Involved Is \n\nECU 200. 000 or more per year. This provision, which is the same, \n\napart from the threshold, as that applied to the award of public \n\nworks concessions In the Public Works Directive, ensures that \n\n\f- 7 -\n\nInterested service providers will be made aware that a \n\nconcession is being awarded. However, It also, implicitly, \n\nrecognizes the differences between concessions and public \n\nservice contracts. 15. A public service concession concerns the provision of a service \n\nto the public, while a public service contract Involves the \n\nprovision of a service to the public authority. A concessionaire \n\naccepts the financial risk In providing a public service, in \n\nreturn for the chance of profit while a contractor seeks his \n\nprofit in the more limited context of the price for delivering \n\nof a particular service. 16. For this reason, the award of public service concessions (like \n\npublic works concessions under the Public Works Directive) is \n\nnot subject to the detailed requirements which are considered \n\nappropriate for public service contracts. The rules of the \n\nTreaty do, of cause, apply. Nevertheless, in parallel with the \n\nPublic Works Directive, provision Is made for contracting \n\nauthorities to Impose, should they so wish, certain requirements \n\nconcerning the extent to which concessionaires award contracts \n\nto third part les. 17. Public authorities which are concessionaires do not, thereby, \n\nescape from their obligations under the Directives on the award \n\nof public supply contracts, public works contracts or public \n\nservice contracts. In order to ensure that the use of concessions does not limit \n\nthe scope \n\nfor \n\nthe development \n\nof the \n\nInternal \n\nmarket \n\nconcessionaires which are not public authorities or which are \n\nnot covered by the Utilities Directive are to be required to \n\npublicize their supplies, works and services contracts. This \n\n(2) \n\n\f- 8 -\n\nrequirement Is, however, set aside when the conditions for award \n\nwithout publicity laid down in the relevant Directives apply \n\nand when the contract Is awarded to an undertaking which is a \n\nmember of the group to which the concession has been awarded, or \n\nto one of Its affiliates. 18. In presenting the provisions relating to the award of public \n\nservice concessions in this way, the Commission has followed the \n\nsubstance of the relevant amendments of the European Parliament. It has, however, gone somewhat further in bringing together all \n\nthe texts relating to concessions. In this way It has sought to \n\nmeet the Parliament's desire for the clearest possible text. (d) \n\nThresholds \n\n19. The Commission also follows Parliament on the provisions of \n\nArticle 8. This article should be considered also in the light \n\nof Article 2, which provides for a distinction on the basis of \n\nmajority content between supplies contracts and services \n\ncontracts. Contracts In practice often contain a mixture of \n\nsupplies and services. Further, the distinction between many \n\nsupplies (for example In cases of rental) and services can be \n\nrather fine. For this reason, and in order to avoid creating a \n\npotential source of conflict as to the correct classification of \n\ncontracts, It Is proposed to apply the same threshold to service \n\ncontracts as to supplies contracts awarded by the same entity. To this effect, the threshold is ECU 200. 000 except for those \n\nauthorities which are subject to the GATT Government Procurement \n\nAgreement, for which the threshold Is ECU 130. 000. Special \n\nthresholds for particular types of services, as the discussions \n\nin Parliament have shown, risk creating uncertainties and \n\ndisputes. Given that the way in which service providers are \n\nremunerated may vary, additional provisions are made relating to \n\ncalculation of the contract value. - 9 -\n\n(e) \n\nPriority and residual services \n\n20. The amended proposal maintains the concept of two-tier-\n\napplication of the Directive, as laid down In Articles 9 to 11. However, following the Parliament's opinion and In the light of \n\ndiscussion with the sectors concerned, all types of financial \n\nservices covered by the Directive are now listed In category 6 \n\nof Annex IA including those which were previously listed in \n\ncategory 21 of Annex IB. (f) \n\nContents of Indicative notices \n\n21. Article 16 has been amended In consequence of the modification \n\nto Article 8 (thresholds). Contracting authorities have to \n\npublish the Intended total procurement in each of the service \n\ncategories listed in Annex IA which they envisage awarding \n\nduring the next twelve months where the estimated value reaches \n\nECU 750. 000. (g) \n\nThe nature of tenderers (natural or legal persons) \n\n22. In accordance with the amendment of the European Parliament, the \n\nCommission has amended and rearranged its proposal on the nature \n\nof tenderers with a view to its clarification (Article 22). 23. In certain service sectors national regulations prohibit the \n\nestablishment of service operators as legal persons, only allow \n\nparticular forms of legal persons, or require the owners to be \n\nmembers of a particular profession. Such requirements, which are \n\nof general application, could constitute a major obstacle to the \n\nliberalization of public procurement of services, for example If \n\ncontracting authorities could reject tenderers from other Member \n\nStates for the sole reason that they are legal persons. - 10 -\n\n24. The European Court of Justice has repeatedly stated, notably in \nits Judgement of 17. December 1981 (Webb))<6>, that the \n\nprovisions of the Treaty on the freedom to provide services \n\nImply that the rules of the country where the service Is \n\nprovided can only be applied to the provision of services \n\nacross frontiers Insofar as they are Justified In the public \n\nInterest, and the subject matter Is not covered by equivalent \n\nrules In the country of establishment. Further, the rules of the \n\ncountry where the service Is performed may only be applied to \n\ncross \n\nfrontier \n\nservice \n\nactivities \n\nInsofar \n\nas \n\nthey \n\nare \n\nproportionate, necessary and appropriate to solve the subject \n\nmatter. 25. In order to Implement these principles for public procurement of \n\nservices, the proposal contains two provisions: \n\nIn accordance \n\nwith \n\nthe \n\nprinciple \n\nof \n\nhome-country \n\nregulation, status as a natural or a legal person is not, \n\nof itself, to be a ground for rejection of a bidders; \n\nthe contracting authority is, however, permitted to \n\nestablish the names and qualifications of those who will \n\nwork on a project. (h) \n\nAbnormally low tenders \n\n26. In accordance with the general approach of the Parliament, the \n\nCommission has aligned Its provision on abnormally low offers as \n\nfar as possible on the Public Works Direct Ive. (6) \n\nCase 279/80, Webb, [1981] ECR 3304. - 11 -\n\n( I ) \n\nPreference schemes \n\n27. The modified proposal no longer contains provisions covering \n\npreferential award criteria (Arts 33(3) and 35 of the initial \n\nproposal). These deletions are in line with Parliament's \n\namendments, recent \nJustice^7) \n\nand \n\ndecisions of the European Court \n\nof \n\nthe \n\nCommission's \n\nviews \n\nregarding \n\nthe \n\ncompatibility of preference systems with Article 30 of the \n\nTreaty. Further, It Is now clear that the directive will not \n\nenter with force before 31 December 1992, the date on which the \n\nprovisions of Art 35 would have ceased to apply. (J) \n\nStatistical reports \n\n28. Pursuing the objectives of the European Parliament, the amended \n\nproposal aligns the provisions of Article 35 on those of the \n\nPublic Works Directive In order to provide a coherent set of \n\nrules for all types of contracts. (k) \n\nNon-EC tenders \n\n29. The provisions of the Directive regarding third countries \n\nprovide for a combination of erga omnes opening of contracts \n\nwith a problem-solving mechanism to deal with any trade \n\nproblems that may arise. Thus Article 37 provides, In its paragraphs 1 and 2, for the \n\nexchange of information between Member States, Commission and \n\nCouncil regarding relations with third countries in the field \n\nof public service contracts. (7) \n\nCase 21/88, Du Pont de Nemours, Judgement of 20. 3. 1990, not yet \n\nreported in ECR. - 12 -\n\nParagraph 3 provides for the Commission to seek to resolve, by \n\nnegotiation, situations where Community undertakings do not \n\nreceive effective access, national treatment or most favoured \n\nnatIon status. Paragraph 4 provides for corrective measures to be taken, as \n\nrapidly as may be necessary, where one of the problems referred \n\nto In paragraph 3 arises. - 13 -\n\nAmended Proposal for a \n\nCOUNCIL DIRECTIVE \n\nrelating to the coordination of procedures \non the award of public service contracts \n\nTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, \n\nHaving regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, \nand in particular Articles 57(2), 66, 100a and 113 thereof, \n\nHaving regard to the proposal from the Commission, \n\nIn cooperation with the European Par Iiament^1), \n\nHaving regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee^2), \n\nWhereas the European Council has concluded In successive meetings on the \nneed to complete the internal market;

Authorities shall be permitted to depart from the provisions \nof paragraph 1 for lots which have an estimated value net of VAT of less than \nECU 80. 000, provided that the total estimated value of all the lots exempted \ndoes not, in consequence, exceed 20% of the total estimated value of all lots. 5. In the case of contracts which do not specify a total price, the basis \nfor calculating the estimated contract value shall be: \n\nin the case of fixed term contracts, the total contract value for its \ndur\u00e2t Ion; \n\nin the case of the contracts for an indefinite period or in cases \nwhere there is doubt as to the duration of the contracts, the monthly \ninstalment multiplied by 48.

In the case of regular contracts or of contracts which are to be \nrenewed within a given time, the contract value may be established on \nthe basis of: \n\n7. 8. - either the aggregate cost of similar contracts for the same \ncategories of services awarded over the previous fiscal year or \n12 months, adjusted, where possible, for anticipated changes in \nquantity or value over the subsequent 12 months-, \n\n- or the estimated aggregate cost during the 12 months following \nfirst performance or during the term of the contract, where this is \ngreater than 12 months. In cases where a proposed contract specifies option clauses, the basis \nfor calculating the contract value shall be the highest possible total \ninclusive of the option clauses. The value of the thresholds In national currencies shall be revised \nevery two years with effect from 1 January 1994. The calculation of \nthese values shall be based on the average dally values of these \ncurrencies In terms of the ecu over the 24 months terminating on the \nlast day of October immediately preceding the 1 January revision. The \nvalues shall be published In the Official Journal of the European \nCommunities at the beginning of November. The method of calculation referred to In the preceding subparagraph \nshall be examined, on the Commission's Initiative, within the Advisory \nCommittee for Public Contracts In principle two years after its \ninitial applicat ion. - 23 -\n\nTITLE 1 1 \n\nTwo-tier application \n\nArticle 9 \n\nContracts which have as their object services listed In Annex IA shall be \nawarded in accordance with the provisions of Titles III to VI.

Where this is not the case, they shall be awarded \nin accordance with Articles 16 and 18. TITLE III \n\nChoice of award procedures; and rules on design contests \n\nArticle 12 \n\nIn awarding public service contracts the authorities shall apply the \nprocedures defined In Article 1 (d), (e) and (f), adapted to this \nDirect ive. The authorities may award their public service contracts by negotiated \nprocedure, with prior publication of a tender notice in the following \ncases: \n\n(a) \n\nin the event of irregular tenders in response to an open or \nrestricted procedure or in the event of tenders which are \nunacceptable under national provisions that are in accordance with \nthe provisions of Articles 19 to 24, Insofar as the original \nterms of the contract are not substantially altered. The authority \nneed not publish a tender notice where it includes in such \nnegotiated procedure all the tenderers satisfying the criteria of \nArticles 25 to 31 which, during the prior open or restricted \nprocedure, have submitted tenders in accordance with the formal \nrequirements of the tendering procedure; \n\n(b) \n\nin exceptional cases, when the nature of the services or the risks \nattaching thereto do not permit overall pricing-, \n\n(4) \n\n\f- 24 -\n\n(c) \n\nwhen the nature of the services to be procured, in particular In \nthe case of Intellectual services and services falling within \ncategory 6 of Annex IA, Is such that contract specifications \ncannot be established with sufficient precision to permit the \naward of the contract by selecting the best tender according to \nthe rules governing open or restricted procedures. 3. The authorities may award public service contracts by negotiated \nprocedure without prior publication of a tender notice, in the \nfol lowing cases: \n\n(a) \n\n(b) \n\n(c) \n\n(d) \n\n(e) \n\nin the absence of tenders or of appropriate tenders in response \nto an open or restricted procedure Insofar as the original terms \nof the contract are not substantially altered and provided that \na report is communicated to the Commission at its request; \n\nwhen, for technical or artistic reasons, or for reasons \nconnected with the protection of exclusive rights, the services \nmay only be provided by a particular service provider. when the contract concerned is part of the follow-up to a design \ncontest and must, according to the relevant national rules, be \nawarded to one of the winners of that contest provided that al 1 \nthe winners are Included In the procedure; \n\nbrought \n\nInsofar as Is strictly necessary when, for reasons of extreme \nurgency \nthe \nauthorities In question, the time-limit for the open, restricted \nor negotiated procedures referred to in Article 18 cannot be \nkept. The circumstances Invoked to Justify extreme urgency must \nnot in any event be attributable to the authorities; \n\nunforeseeable \n\nevents \n\nabout \n\nby \n\nby \n\nfor additional services not Included in the project initially \nconsidered or In the contract first concluded but which have, \nthrough unforeseen circumstances, become necessary for the \ncarrying out of the service described therein, on condition that \nthe award is made to the service provider carrying out such \nservice; \n\n- when such services cannot be technically or economically \nseparated from the main contract without great inconvenience \nto the author it les; \n\n- or when such services, although separable from the execution \nof the original contract, are strictly necessary for Its \nlater stages. However, the aggregate estimated value of contracts awarded for \nadditional services may not exceed 50% of the amount of the main \ncontract ; \n\n\f- 25 -\n\n(f) \n\nfor new services consisting of the repetition of similar \nservices entrusted to the service provider to which the same \nauthorities awarded an earlier contract, provided that such \nservices conform to a basic project for which a first contract \nwas awarded according to the procedures referred to In paragraph \n4. As soon as the first project Is put up for tender, notice \nmust be given that this procedure might be adopted and the total \nestimated cost of subsequent services shall be taken Into \nconsideration by the authorities when they apply the provisions \nof Article 8. This procedure may be applied solely during the \nthree years following the conclusion of the original contract. 4. In all other cases, the authorities shall award their public service \ncontracts by the open procedure or by the restricted procedure. Article 13 \n\n1. 2. The authority shall, within 15 days of the date on which the request \nis received, Inform any eliminated candidate or tenderer who so \nrequests in writing of the reasons for rejection of his application or \nhis tender, and, In the case of a tender, the name of the successful \ntenderer. The authority shall inform candidates or tenderers who so request In \nwriting of the grounds on which it decided not to award a contract In \nrespect of which a prior call for competition was made, or to \nrecommence the procedure. It shall also Inform the Office for \nOfficial Publications of the European Communities of that decision. 3. For each contract awarded the authorities shall draw up a written \nreport which shall Include at least the following: \n\nits name and address, the subject and value of the contract; \n\n- the names of the candidates or tenderers admitted and the reasons \n\nfor their selection; \n\n- the names of the candidates or tenderers rejected and the reasons \n\nfor their rejection-, \n\n- the name of the successful tenderer and the reasons for his tender \nhaving been selected and, if known, any share of the contract the \nsuccessful tenderer may intend to subcontract to a third party; \n\n- for negotiated procedures, the circumstances referred to In Article \n\n12 which justify the use of these procedures. This report, or the main features of it, shall be communicated to the \nCommission at its request. 26 -\n\nArticle 14 \n\nDesign contests shall be subject to the rules set out below. When \ndesign contests are held as a separate procedure, these rules are \napplicable only when the total amount of contest prizes and payments \nto participants is not less than ECU 200 000. The admission of participants to design contests shall not be limited \nby reference to the territory or part of the territory of a Member \nState. In the case of design contests with a limited number of participants, \nauthorities shall apply the rules laid down in Article 23. The jury shall be composed only of persons who have no financial \nconnections or special relationships with participants in the contest. Whenever a particular professional qualification is required from \nparticipants in a contest, the majority of the jury members shall have \nthe same qualifications. The Jury shall be autonomous in Its decisions. It shall take its \ndecisions based on projects presented In an anonymous way, and solely \non the grounds of the criteria Indicated in the invitation for \nprojects in the sense of Annex IV. Member States may oblige authorities to award subsequent contracts to \none of the winners of a design contest. TITLE iV - Common rules In the technical field \n\nArticle 15 \n\nThe technical specifications defined in Annex II shall be given in \nthe general documents or the contractual documents relating to each \ncontract. Without prejudice to the legally binding national technical rules and \ninsofar as these are compatible with Community law, such technical \nspecifications shall be defined by the authorities by reference to \nnational standards implementing European standards or by reference to \nEuropean technical approvals or by reference to common technical \nspecif I cat Ions. An authority may depart from paragraph 2 if: \n\na) the standards, European technical approvals or common technical \nspecifications do not include any provisions for establishing \nconformity, or technical means do not exist for establishing \nsatisfactorily the conformity of a product to these standards, \nEuropean technical approvals or common technical specifications; \n\n\f- 27 -\n\nb) the application of paragraph 2 would prejudice the application of \nCouncil Directive 86/361/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the initial stage \nof the mutual recognition of type approval for telecommunications \nterminal equipment^10), or Council Decision 87/95/EEC of 22 \nDecember 1986 on standardisation In the field of Information \ntelecommunlcations^11 ) or \nCommunity \ntechnology \nInstruments in specific service or product areas; \n\nother \n\nand \n\nc) use of these standards, European technical approvals or common \ntechnical specifications would oblige the authority to acquire \nproducts or materials incompatible with equipment already in use or \nwould entail disproportionate costs or disproportionate technical \ndifficulties, but only as part of a clearly defined and recorded \nstrategy with a view to change-over, within a given period, to \nEuropean standards, European technical approvals or common \ntechnical specifications; \n\nd) the project concerned Is of a genuinely innovative nature for which \nuse of existing European standards, European technical approvals or \ncommon technical specifications would not be appropriate. 4. Authorities invoking paragraph 3 shall record, wherever possible, the \nreasons for doing so in the tender notice published In the Official \nJournal of the European Communities or in the contract documents and \nin all cases shall record these reasons in their \nInternal \ndocumentation and shall supply such information on request to Member \nStates and to the Commission. 5. In the absence of European standards or European technical approvals \nor common technical specifications, the technical specifications: \n\n(a) shall be defined by reference to the national technical \nspecifications \nthe basic \nrequirements listed In the Community directives on technical \nharmonisation, In accordance with the procedures laid down In \nthose directives, and In particular In accordance with the \nprocedures laid down In Council Directive 89/106/EEC(12); \n\nas complying \n\nrecognised \n\nwith \n\n(b) may be defined by reference to national technical specifications \nrelating to design and method of calculation and execution of \nworks and use of materials; \n\n(c) may be defined by reference to other documents.

In particular, \nthe Indication of trade marks, patents, types, or of specific origin \nor production shall be prohibited. However, If such indication is \naccompanied by the words \"or equivalent\", it shall be authorised in \ncases where the authorities are unable to give a description of the \nsubject of the contract using specifications which are sufficiently \nprecise and intelligible to all parties concerned. - 29 -\n\nTiTLE V \n\nCommon Advertising rules \n\nArticle 16 \n\n1. 2. 3. 4. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

In the case of public service contracts for services listed In Annex \nIB, the authorities shall indicate In the notice whether they agree on \nIts publ(cat ion. The Commission shall draw up the rules for establishing regular \nreports on the basis of the notices referred to in paragraph 3, and \nfor the publication of such reports in accordance with the procedure \nlaid down in Article 36(3). Insofar as release of information on the contract award would Impede \nlaw enforcement or otherwise be contrary to the public interest or \nwould prejudice the legitimate commercial Interests of a particular \nenterprise, public or private, or might prejudice fair competition \nbetween service providers, such Information may not be published. - 30 -\n\nArticle 18 \n\nThe notices shall be drawn up In accordance with the models set out In \nAnnexes III, IV and V, and shall specify the Information requested In \nthose models.

Article 20 \n\n1. Where the criterion for the award of the contract Is that of the \neconomically most advantageous tender, authorities may take account \nof variants which are submitted by a tenderer and meet the minimum \nspecifications required by the authorities. The author It les shal I \nstate in the contract documents the minimum specifications to be \nrespected by the variants and any specific requirements for their \npresentation. They shall Indicate In the tender notice whether \nvariants will be considered. Authorities may not reject the submission of a variant on the sole \ngrounds that It has been drawn up with technical specifications \ndefined by reference to national standards transposing European \nstandards, to European technical approvals or to common technical \nspecifications referred to In Article 15(2) or again by reference to \nnational technical specifications referred to in Article 15(5) (a) and \n(b). Authorities which have admitted variants pursuant to paragraph 1 may \nnot reject a variant on the sole grounds that it would lead, if \nsuccessful, to a supply contract rather than a public service contract \nwithin the meaning of this Directive. Article 21 \n\nIn the contract documents, the authority may ask the tenderer to \nindicate in his tender any share of the contract he may intend to sub \ncontract to third parties. This indication shall be without prejudice to the question of the \nprincipal service provider's liability. - 32 -\n\nArticle 22 \n\n1. 2. Tenders may be submitted by groups of service providers. These groups \nmay not be required to assume a specific legal form In order to submit \nthe tender; however, the group selected may be required to do so when \nIt has been awarded the contract. Candidates or tenderers, who under the law of the Member State In \nwhich they are established, are entitled to carry out the relevant \nservice activity, shall not be rejected on the sole grounds that, \nunder the law of the Member State In which the contract Is awarded, \nthey would have been required to be either a natural or a legal \nperson. 3. Legal persons may be required to indicate In the tender or the request \nfor participation the names and relevant professional qualifications \nof the staff to be responsible for the performance of the service. Article 23 \n\n1. 2. In restricted and negotiated procedures the authorities shall, on the \nbasis of information given relating to the service provider's position \nas well as to the information and formalities necessary for the \nevaluation of the minimum conditions of an economic and technical \nnature to be fulfilled by him, select from among the candidates with \nthe qualifications required by Article 25 to 31 those whom they will \ninvite to submit a tender or to negotiate. Where the authorities award a contract by restricted procedure, they \nmay prescribe the range within which the number of providers of \nservices which they Intend to invite will fall. In this case the \nrange shall be indicated In the contract notice. The range shall be \ndetermined in the light of the nature of the service to be provided. The range must number at least five service providers and may be up to \ntwenty. In any event, the number of candidates invited to tender shall be \nsufficient to ensure genuine competition. 3. Where the authorities award a contract by negotiated procedure as \nreferred to In Article 12, the number of candidates admitted to \nnegotiate may not be less than three, provided that there is a \nsufficient number of suitable candidates. 4. Each Member State shall ensure that authorities issue invitations \nwithout discrimination to those nationals of other Member States who \nsatisfy the necessary requirements and under the same conditions as to \nits own nat ionais. - 33 -\n\nArticle 24 \n\nThe authority may state In the contract documents, or be obliged by a \nMember State to do so, the authority or authorities from which a \ncandidate may obtain the appropriate information on the obligations \nrelating to the employment protection provisions and the working \nconditions which are In force In the Member State, region or locality \nIn which the services are to be performed and which shall be \napplicable to the services provided on site during the performance of \nthe contract. The authority which supplies the Information referred to In paragraph \n1 shall request the tenderers or those participating in the contract \nprocedure to indicate that they have taken account, when drawing up \ntheir tender, of the obligations relating to employment protection \nprovisions and the working conditions which are in force in the place \nwhere the service is to be carried out.

These technical prescriptions shall include levels of quality, \nperformance, safety or dimensions, including the requirements applicable to, the material, \nthe product or to the supply as regards quality assurance, terminology, symbols, testing \nand test methods, packaging, marking or labelling. They shall also include rules relating \nto design and costing, the test, inspection and acceptances for works and methods or \ntechniques of construction and all other technical conditions which the contracting \nauthority is in a position to prescribe, under general or specific regulations, in relation \nto the finished works and to the materials or parts which they involve. 2. Standard: a technical specification approved by a recognised standardising body for \nrepeated and continuous application, compliance with which is in principle not compulsory. 3. European standard: a standard approved by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) \nor by the European Committee for Electrotechnlcal Standardisation (Cenelec) as \"European \nStandards (EN)\" or \"Harmonisation documents (HD)\" according to the common rules of these \norganisations or by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) as a \n\"European Telecommunication Standard\" (ETS). 4. European technical approval: a favourable technical assessment of the fitness for use of a \nproduct, based on fulfillment of the essential requirements for building works, by means of \nthe inherent characteristics of the product and the defined conditions of applications and \nuse. The European agreement shall be issue by an approval body designated for this purpose \nby the Member State. 5. Common technical specification: a technical specification laid down in accordance with a \nprocedure recognised by the Member States to ensure uniform application in all Member \nStates which has been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. 6. Essential requirements: requirements regarding safety, health and certain other aspects in \n\nthe general interest, that the construction works can meet. - 47 -\n\nANNEX III \n\nModel controct notices \n\nA.

Introduction \n\n1. In the communication of the Commission to the Council (COM[91]100 of 1 \nFebruary 1991) and the follow-up document (C0M[91]258) of 11 July 1991), \nthe Commission set out its reflections on the present state of the \nCommon Agricultural Policy, why it needed fundamental change and the \ndirection of change. 2. The Commission concluded that existing price guarantees, through their \ndirect link to production, provide no solution to the problems of farm \nincomes generally and were insensitive to the dual role of farmers as \nproviders of primary products and managers of the countryside. In \nparticular, \nprices with \nadvocates \nsubstantial compensation for farmers in the form of a system of direct \npayments. the Commission \n\nlower market \n\n3. In the particular case of oilseeds, the Community has accepted the \nconclusions of a GATT Panel, colloquially known as the Soya Panel; the \ntext of the Conclusions (in English) are reproduced in Annex I. In \nits support \nconsequence, the Community has undertaken to adapt \narrangements for oilseeds in order to bring the relevant Regulations \nInto conformity with the General Agreement. 4. As part of the deliberations on the 1991/92 proposals on prices and \nrelated measures, the Commission undertook to table proposals to reform \nthe support arrangements for oilseeds by 31 July 1991, while the Council \npledged that it would take the necessary decisions by 31 October 1991. This document fulfills the undertaking given by the Commission. - 2 -\n\n5. The Commission has recently tabled its proposals for \"The Development \nand Future of the Common Agricultural Policy\" (C0M[91]258) of 11 July \n1991). The relevant proposals for oilseeds are set out on pages 9 to 11, \nnotably: \n\n\". support for oilseeds. will be provided fully in the form of a \nstandardized compensatory payment system with per hectare aids paid \ntraditional \ndirect \ninstitutional prices will be redundant and will no longer apply. In this context, \n\nthe producer. the \n\nto \n\nA reference price for the world market will be established for the \npurpose of calculation of the compensatory amounts. In line with the requirements of the reformed market organization, \nnew market management instruments will be developed by the Commission \nto facilitate the orderly marketing of each crop \n\nThe current Maximum Guaranteed Quantities and their associated \nstabilizer mechanisms are based on the traditional system of \ninstitutional prices. These mechanisms will expire with the full \nimplementation of the new common market organization. \" \n\nVegetable pi is \n\n6. The European Community is a major importer of vegetable oils (measured \nin terms of oils and oilbearing seeds for the production of oil) \nimporting (nett) 40% of its requirements, 48% if one excludes olive oil \nfrom the balance. Some imports of vegetable oils are subject to an ad \nvalorem duty of 10%. QiImeals \n\n7. The compound feed industry of the European Community is a major user of \noilmeals. The demand for oilmeals, notably soyameal has continued to \ngrow as graphic number 1 illustrates. Suffice to say that out of an \nestimated demand of over 30 Mio t, imports account for over 75%; and \nthat mostly soya. Imports of oiimeals are duty free. Q\u00bbI seeds \n\n8. The Community support system for the producers of oilseeds has hitherto \nbeen based on the principle of supporting the price for oilseeds \nharvested in the Community and applied to each tonne of produce \nmarketed. However, for administrative convenience this support has been \nchannelled through the hands of a limited number of operators, notably \nprocessors or first buyers, rather than directly to producers. - 3 -\n\nWhile oilseeds have always been grown in Western Europe, a substantial \nincrease in plantings occurred from 1984 and onwards as graphics 2, 3 \nand 4 illustrate. The increased interest In cultivating these crops \ncoincided with improved varieties and cultivation techniques leading to \nhigher yields. The rate of expansion was sharply curtailed by the \nimplementation of the current stabilizer arrangements from the beginning \nof the 1988/89 marketing year, which has led to sharp reductions in \nsupport per tonne (for 1990/91: Rapeseed Intervention Buying In Price \n-18%, Sunflower Seed Intervention Buying In Price -24%, Soyabeans \nMinimum Price - 3 4 % ). The historical development is shown in graphic 5. B. The content of the proposal (see also attached draft regulation) \n\n1. This proposal is a measure implementing a \"compensatory payment system \nwith per hectare aids paid direct to the producer. \" This proposal would \nhave the advantage of providing a more stable income to producers, \nlargely independent of the volume of oilseeds which they harvest in a \nparticular year. On the one hand, the compensatory payment will only \ncompensate partially for the movements in world market prices. On the \nother hand, these proposals offer producers more stable receipts. 2. This proposal applies to Oilseeds (defined for the purposes of this \nregime as Rapeseed, Sunflower Seed and Soyabeans) harvested after 30 \nJune 1992. Because of the residual rights of those holding old stocks \n(farmers, merchants, traders, industrialists, public authorities) the \ncurrent legislative arrangements will be cancelled at a later date once \nthey are completely redundant. Any operator wishing to benefit from the \ncontinued application of the present provisions will be obliged to \nprove that the merchandise in question was harvested prior to the \nbeginning of the 1992/93 marketing year notably by meeting the current \n\"identification\" conditions. Mechanism to establish the direct aid scheme of compensatory payments \n\n3. The objective is to provide an aid for oilseeds which as between \noilseeds and cereals does not provide a particular incentive to opt for \none crop rather than another. To achieve this objective, it has been \ncalculated, requires a price relationship of 2. 1:1. The \"compensatory \npayment system\" will be based on a regionalized system of per hectare \naids, paid directly to the producers. 4. In order to calculate the aid, it is necessary to prescribe a Projected \nReference Price (currently announced as 163 Ecu/t) defined as the \nexpected medium term equilibrium price for oilseeds (notably soyabeans) \non a stabilized world market. This represents the approximate price \nwhich a producer might expect to receive for his produce. 5. Since the objective is to not provide a particular incentive to opt for \none crop as opposed to another, producers will require a compensatory \npayment (per hectare) in order to maintain their incomes. It has been \ncalculated that based on the EC average yield for cereals (4. 6 t/ha) and \noilseeds (2. 36 t/ha) the Community Reference Amount for oilseeds should \nbe set at 384 Ecu/ha taking account of the Projected Reference Price \n(see below). - 5 \n\n6. Because of the substantial regional variations which exist, the aid \nshould be regionalized in order to reduce the risk of systematic over-\nor under-compensation of producers. Since a strong correlation exists \nbetween the yields of cereals and oilseeds in various regions, it is \nproposed to correct the Community Reference Amount for oilseeds \naccording to the regional yield for cereals (compared with the Community \naverage), i. e. if the regional yield for cereals is double the Community \naverage, oilseeds producers in that region would receive double the \nCommunity Reference Amount per hectare; if the cereals yield was half, \nthey would receive half the Community Reference Amount. 7. The regionalization plan: \n\n- for the purposes of establishing the aid to be paid per hectare, each \nMember State will draw up a regionalization(*) plan for its territory \nwhich must be submitted to the Commission; each Member State should \nsubmit this plan and the criteria upon which the regions are based \nbefore 15 November 1991. - Member States shall submit all relevant supporting information to the \n\nCommission notably statistics of area, production and yield; \n\n- each region(*) must be of a minimum size, for which a historical three \nyear average cereals yield (and if possible oilseed yields including \nwhere appropriate for each individual oilseed) will be calculated. This should be based on the average of three of the last five \nmarketing years (1986/87 to 1990/91) i. e. after eliminating the lowest \nand the highest figure. This regional average yield will be the basis \nfor translating the Community compensatory payment into a personalized \npayment ; \n\n- the regionalization plan may be revised. - the Commission will verify that the regionalization programmes are \nconsistent with the historical references for each Member State and \nthe Community, notably the average yields for cereals (EC average 4. 6 \ntonnes/hectare) and oilseeds (EC average 2. 36 tonnes/hectare). (*) The term 'region\" is intended to provide the necessary flexibility for the \nrecognition of distinctive homogeneous zones and allow for specific \nstructural characteristics that influence yields (e. g. soil fertility). - 6 -\n\nThe aid calculation \n\n8. The Commission aid calculation is made in two stages: \n\n- a provisional calculation made on the basis of the Projected Reference \n\nPrice (currently announced as 163 Ecu/t); \n\n- a final calculation (made about half way through the marketing year) \n\nmade on the basis of the Observed Reference Price. 9. The provisional calculation leads to a provisional aid (per hectare) \n\nwhich will be regionalized according to the regionalization plans. 10. The final calculation (made by the Commission about half way through the \n\nmarketing year) will also be regionalized. 11. However, when making the final calculation, the Commission shall not \ntake account of price variations within 8% of the Projected Reference \nPrice. Exceptionally, notably for the first year, the Commission may \nmake the final calculation separately for each oilseed, in order to \navoid favouring one oilseed rather than another and to take account of \nthe possible application of the Maximum Guaranteed Area system. Payments \n\n12. The aid for oilseeds will be paid in two parts. The first part may be \npaid after the crop has been planted but before it is harvested, \nprovided that the grower is the holder of an appropriate cultivation \ncontract from an approved first buyer ox if the grower has already \ndeposited a precise cultivation plan with the relevant national \norganization. Following the final calculation, the second part of the \naid will be payable during the second part of the marketing year (see \nparagraph 11). 13. No aid shall be payable for any application lodged after the 30 April \npreceding the marketing year, by which time the seed must have been \nplanted, i. e. no payments will be made for catch-cropping. However, \nshould exceptional weather conditions delay planting of Spring sown \noilseeds, notably rapeseed, this date may be varied for specific \nreasons. 14. Payments may be enhanced a manner conducive to orderly marketing. In \nparticular a bonus will be paid to producers who can demonstrate that \nthey delayed selling their crop. For illustrative purposes this has been \ncalculated as an average 10 Ecu/ha for a 3 month delay or 20 Ecu/ha for \na 6 month delay. 7 -\n\n15. Payments will be financed by FEOGA Guarantee. 16. To ensure that the system is implemented as intended, payments should be \nmade within 90 days of the date when entitlement is established. If this \ntimetable is not respected, the total amount due will no longer be \neligible for reimbursement by FEOGA Guarantee. Other provisions (transitional arrangements) \n\nSpain and Portugal \n\n17. Until the end of the transitional period foreseen by the Treaty of \nAccession, producers of Sunflower Seed in these countries will continue \nto benefit from a separate calculation. This will be made in the form \nof a standard bonus, calculated annually by the Commission to reflect \nthe differential foreseen in current legislation. Maximum Guaranteed Area \n\nfor producers of crops (proposed by the Commission \n\n18. Temporarily, pending the application of the integrated approach to \nsupport \nin \nC0M[91]258), an analogous stabilizer based on area planted will apply; \ninstead of the existing stabilizer arrangements which are related to \nquantities. However, since the system is intended as a budgetary safety \nnet, the Maximum Guaranteed Area is set at the current level of \nplantings except for producers of sunflower seed in Spain and Portugal \nwho will continue to be subject to a separate quarantee threshold. In \naddition, aid will only be paid on land previously cultivated (i. e. areas not cultivated with arable crops during the reference years \n(1989/90 to 1990/91), with the exception of an area that has been set \naside in previous years under publicly funded setaside arrangements, \nwill not be eligible for aid). Oilseed Rape - Quality Policy \n\n19. Access to the aid for growers of oilseed rape will in future be \nrestricted to those using certified seed (from the national list) which \nhas been demonstrated to normally produce a harvest of less than \n25 fM moles of glucosinolates. This standard may be reinforced over time \nin the light of scientific progress and market developments. 8 -\n\n20. Since growers may already have committed themselves to planting other \nseed in 1991, exceptionally for the first marketing year (1992/93) other \nseed may be tolerated, subject to appropriate checks being made. 21. In such circumstances, the aid will only be paid after completion of \n\nsuch checks. 22. The same provisions are made in order to continue to support the \ncultivation of HEAR, rapeseed varieties rich in erucic acid, grown under \ncontract for industrial purposes. Other \n\n23. The new support arrangements will require additional administrative \nmechanisms and in particular new control procedures. These subjects will \nbe examined in depth by the services of the Commission, in conjunction \nwith the representatives of national administrations, on the basis of \nthe experience developed in the light of R/2069/91/EC (the detailed \nrules for the temporary fallowing scheme approved in 1991). 24. The Commission will continue to be aided by the Management Committee on \n\n'0iIs and Fats'. 9 -\n\nANNEX \n\nCONCLUSIONS (of the GATT Panel) \n\n155. The panel found that the Community Regulations providing for \npayments to seed processors conditional on the purchase of oilseeds \noriginating in the Community are inconsistent with Article III-. 4 of the \nGeneral Agreement, according to which imported products shall be given \ntreatment no less favourable than that accorded to like domestic \nproducts \ninternal \nin respect of all regulations affecting their \npurchase. The Panel recommends that the CONTRACTING PARTIES request the \nCommunity to bring these Regulations into conformity with the General \nAgreement. 156. The Panel further found that benefits accruing to the United States \nunder Article II of the General Agreement in respect of the zero tariff \nbindings for oilseeds in the Community Schedule of Concessions were \nimpaired as a result of the introduction of production subsidy schemes \nwhich operate to protect Community producers of oilseeds completely from \nthe movement of prices of imports and thereby prevent the tariff \nconcessions from having any impact on the competitive relationship \nbetween domestic and imported oilseeds. The Panel recommends that the \nCONTRACTING PARTIES suggest that the Community consider ways and means \nto eliminate the impairment of its tariff concessions for oilseeds. 157. The Panel finally considered that, as the inconsistency with \nArticle lll:4 and the impairment of the tariff concessions arise from \nthe same Community Regulations, a modification of these Regulations in \nthe light of Article lll:4 could also eliminate the impairment of the \ntariff concessions. The Panel therefore recommends that the CONTRACTING \nPARTIES take no further action under Article XXI I 1:2 in relation to the \nimpairment of the tariff concessions until the Community has had a \nreasonable opportunity to adjust its Regulations to conform to Article \nI I 1:4.

This regulation hereby establishes a support system for producers \n\nof soya beans, rapeseed and sunflowerseed. 2. This system shall be applied with effect from those plantings \n\nintended for harvest in 1992 thereby superseding the provisions \n\nrelating to oilseeds aids contained \n\nin Council \n\nRegulation \n\n136/66/EEC and Council Regulation (EEC) 1491/85. 3. The marketing year for the products listed in paragraph 1 shall run \n\nfrom 1 July to 30 June. - 3 ~ \n\nArt icle 2 \n\n1. Producers established in the Community who sow and intend to \n\nharvest the products listed in Article 1 shall be entitled to apply \n\nfor a compensatory payment. The compensatory payment shall be paid \n\ndirectly to the producer who makes the application, provided that \n\nentitlement to the payment is recognized by the Member State on \n\nwhose territory the production holding is located. 2. In order to qualify for payment of the compensatory aid, a producer \n\nmust, by, at the latest the 30 April preceding the marketing year \n\nin which the product is to be harvested; \n\n- have sown the seed \n\n- have lodged an application in accordance with Article 5 \n\nparagraph 3. 3. The application must be accompanied by the references enabling the \n\nplanted area to be identified. Applications may only be made in \n\nrespect of arable land cultivated during the period 1989/90 -\n\n1990/91, including land fallowed in conformity with a publicly \n\nfunded scheme. Article 3 \n\nEach Member State shall establish a regionalization plan setting \n\nout the criteria for the establishment of separate production \n\nregions. The criteria used must be appropriate, objective and \n\nprovide \n\nthe \n\nnecessary \n\nflexibility \n\nfor \n\nthe \n\nrecognition \n\nof \n\ndistinctive homogenous zones of a minimum size and allow for \n\nspecific structural characteristics that influence yields such as \n\nsoil fertility. - 4 \n\n2. For each production region, the Member State shall give details of \n\nthe areas and yields of cereals and oilseeds produced in that \n\nregion during the five year period 1986/87 - 1990/91. An average \n\ncereals yield shall be calculated for each region by excluding the \n\nyear with the highest and the year with the lowest yield during \n\nthat period. 3. Member States shall submit their regionalization plan to the \n\nCommission by 15 November 1991 together with all available \n\nsupporting information. 4. The Commission shall examine the regionalization plans submitted by \n\nthe Member States and shall ensure that each plan is based on \n\nappropriate, objective criteria and is consistent with available \n\nhistorical information, notably the Community average yield for \n\ncereals (4. 6 tonnes/hectare) and oilseeds (2. 36 tonnes/hectare). Plans which are not in conformity or not compatible with the \n\naverage yield shall be subject to adjustment by the Member State \n\nconcerned after consultation with the Commission. 5. The regionalization plan may be revised by the Member State \n\nconcerned at the request of the Commission in accordance with the \n\nsame procedure as outlined in the preceding paragraphs. Article 4 \n\n1. A Projected Reference Price for oilseeds is set at 163 Ecu/tonne. 2. A Community Reference Amount \n\nfor oilseeds is set at 384 \n\nEcu/hectare. 3. For each region identified under Article 3, a Projected Regional \n\nReference Amount shall be established by the Commission which \n\nreflects the comparison between the cereals yield for that region \n\nand \n\nthe \n\naverage \n\ncereals \n\nyield \n\nfor \n\nthe \n\nCommunity \n\n(4. 6 \n\ntonnes/hectare). 5 -\n\n4. Before 30 January in each marketing year the Commission, in \n\naccordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation \n\n136/66/EEC, shall calculate a Final Regional Reference Amount based \n\non the Observed Reference Price for oilseeds. This Final \n\ncalculation shall be made by substituting the Observed Reference \n\nPrice for the Projected Reference Price; no account shall be taken \n\nof price variations within 8% of the Projected Reference Price. 5. Exceptionally, notably for the 1992/93 marketing year, the \n\nCommission may make the final calculations separately for each \n\noilseed in order to avoid favouring one oilseed rather than another \n\nand to take account of the possible application of Article 7. 6. The Commission shall publish the aforementioned amounts in the \n\nOfficial \n\nJournal. The publication shall \n\ninclude a succinct \n\nexplanation of the calculations made. Article 5 \n\n1. The Final Regional Reference Amount shall be payable provided that \n\nproof is supplied that the crop has been harvested. 2. Those producers who lodge a contract or a plan in accordance with \n\nArticle 2 shall be entitled to an advance payment of no more than \n\n50% of the Provisional Regional Reference Amount. Member States \n\nshall carry out the necessary checks to ensure entitlement to the \n\nadvance is Justified. 3. In order to qualify for an advance payment a producer must have \n\nlodged with the competent agency of the Member State by 30 April at \n\nthe latest \n\neither, \n\n- a contract with an approved first buyer for the cultivation of \n\noi I seeds, \n\nor, \n\n- a detailed cultivation plan for his holding showing the land to \n\nbe used for cultivating oilseeds. 6 -\n\nWhere an advance has been made a balance shall be paid equal to the \n\ndifference, if any, between the amount of the advance and the Final \n\nRegional Reference Amount subject to proof of harvesting being \n\nprovided. Where a producer demonstrates that he has retained ownership of the \n\nproduct for a period to be determined, an orderly marketing bonus \n\nmay be payable. The amount of the bonus and the conditions \n\ndetermining eligibility shall be set by the Commission in \n\naccordance with the procedure referred to in Article 38 of \n\n136/66/EEC. Payment shall be made by the Member State to each eligible producer \n\nwithin a period of 90 days after publication of the amounts \n\n(advances and final payments) in the Official Journal. Where a \n\nMember State fails to comply with this provision it shall be \n\nobliged to pay the amount without reimbursement from the EAGGF. Article 6 \n\nUntil the end of the 1994/95 marketing year, a standard bonus for \n\nsunflowerseed cultivation will be payable in Spain and Portugal. These amounts, which are in addition to the compensatory payment, \n\nwill be calculated by the Commission annually for Spain and \n\nPortugal \n\nto reflect \n\nthe differential \n\nforeseen \n\nin current \n\nlegislation. The amounts will be subject \n\nto the possible \n\napplication of Article 7. - 7 -\n\nArticle 7 \n\n1. For the 1992/93 marketing year, a system of Maximum Guaranteed \n\nAreas shall apply for payments. The Maximum Guaranteed Areas shall \n\nbe : \n\nSoya beans \n\nEC12 \n\nRapeseed \n\nEC12 \n\nSunflowerseed \n\nSpain \n\nPortugal \n\n509,000 hectares, \n\n2,377,000 hectares, \n\n1,411,000 hectares \n\n122,000 hectares \n\nThe rest of the Community \n\n1,202,000 hectares \n\n2. if the area planted to an oilseed exceeds the Maximum Guaranteed \n\nArea then the relevant compensatory aids will be reduced by 1% for \n\neach 1% overshoot. The relevant compensatory aids will be reduced \n\nby the Commission when the Final Regional Representative Amounts \n\nare calculated. Article 8 \n\nAccess to the compensatory payment for growers of oilseed rape is \n\nrestricted to those using certified seed from the national list. The Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down in \n\nArticle 38 of 136/66/EEC, may specify that certain varieties of \n\nrapeseed included in the national list are ineligible for aid. - 8 -\n\nArticle 9 \n\nThe determination of the amounts, the rules governing the payment \n\nof the compensatory aid, including the determination of the minimum \n\nsize of a region and \n\nthe other \n\ndetailed \n\nrules for \n\nthe \n\nimplementation of this Regulation shall be decided on by the \n\nCommission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 \n\nof Council Regulation 136/66/EEC. Article 10 \n\n1. Member States shall take all action necessary to ensure that the \n\nprovisions of this Regulation are fully respected. 2. Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be \n\nadopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of \n\nRegulation 136/66/EEC, and in particular : \n\nthose relating to the minimum area to be cultivated; such rules \n\nshall take particular account of the monitoring requirements \n\nand of the sought-after effectiveness of the scheme in \n\nquest ion, \n\nthose relating to monitoring; such rules shall include, inter \n\nalia, the use of means of remote sensing and/or plausibility \n\nmonitoring on the basis of binding official documents that are \n\nalready available in the national administrations, \n\nthe date of 30 April referred to in Article 2 paragraph 2 and \n\nArticle 5 paragraph 3 may be varied for specific regions to \n\ntake account of exceptional circumstances. - 9 -\n\nArticle 11 \n\n1. The provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 and the \n\nrelated provisions in the regulations in force on 30 June 1992 \n\nshall continue to apply after that date to soya beans harvested in \n\nthe Community and identified by 30 June 1992. 2. The provisions of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC and the related \n\nprovisions in the regulations in force on 30 June 1992 shall \n\ncontinue to apply after that date to rapeseed and sunflowerseed \n\nharvested in the Community and identified by 30 June 1992. 3. The relevant provisions relating to the Community support system \n\nfor the products mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall remain \n\napplicable until the products in question are no longer eligible \n\nfor Community \n\nsupport. Transitional \n\nmeasures necessary to \n\nfacilitate the disposal or orderly marketing of the products \n\nmentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article shall be adopted in \n\naccordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation \n\n136/66/EEC. 4. Regulation 136/66/EEC and Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 as well as \n\nthe implementing rules thereof shall remain in force in so far as \n\nthey are compatible with the provisions of this Regulation. Article 12 \n\nShould additional or transitional measures be necessary to facilitate \n\nthe transition from the system in force to that established by this \n\nRegulation, in particular if the introduction of this system would give \n\nrise to substantial difficulties in respect of certain products such \n\nmeasures shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in \n\nArticle 38 of Regulation 136/66/EEC. - 10 -\n\nArticle 13 \n\nThe present regulation shall enter onto force on the third day after \n\nits publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

BACKGROUND \n\n1. 2. 3. 4. 5. (1) \n\n(2) \n\n(3) \n\nIn 1989, eleven Member States of the European Community adopted the \nCommunity Charter of basic social rights of workers with certain \nundertakings regarding the development of equal opportunities for men \nand women (Paragraph 16) and the reconciliation of occupational and \nfamiIy obiigat ions. In its action programme implementing the Community Charter, the \nCommission has included among its aims the adoption of a \nRecommendation concerning child care. Studies have shown inadequacies and gaps in all the Member States and \nthat measures are required to reconcile family responsibilities \narising from the care and upbringing of children with the employment, \neducation and training of parents and other adults with family \nresponsibilities for children; and the adverse effects of this \nsituation on the attainment of equal opportunities for men and women \nin employment, training and education and the well-being of their \nfamilies<1M2)(3). The Commission Action Programme implementing the Community Charter of \nbasic social rights for workers notes that, as early as 1982, the \nFirst Action Programme on Equality highlighted the link between \nemployment and childcare. The Second Community Action Programme on \nthe Promotion of Equal Opportunities for Women (1985-1990) noted \nthat: MA sine qua non for the promotion of true equality at work is \nthe sharing of family and occupational responsibilities, particularly \nthe development of adequate child-minding facilities and a review of \nsocial infrastructures in general\". The Third Medium-Term Community Action Programme on Equal \nOpportunities for Women and Men (1991-1995), in the context of \nimproving the working conditions and the reconciliation between work \nand family responsibilities for men and women, envisages the \nCommission undertaking measures concerning the development of child \ncare facilities and leave for family reasons. \"Childcare and Equality of Opportunity\". Consolidated Report to the \nEuropean Commission, Peter Moss, Co-ordinator, Childcare Network, \nbased on national reports of Network representatives in the Twelve \nMember States, April 1988. \"Infrastructure and Women's Employment : Centre for Research on \nEuropean Women (CREW) and James McLoone and Maire 0'Leary, \nUniversity \n1989. \"Who Cares for Europe's Children ?\". by A.

The communication from the Commission on Family Policies of 8 August \n1989(4) mentions the need to continue actions to reconcile \nprofessional and family life and to encourage the sharing of family \nresponsibilities \nthe \nintensification of current work relating to the \"Childcare Network\". It also draws attention in this context to the need for job \nflexibility, the development of atypical working timetables and Job \nstatus, and the provision of adequate basic infrastructures (working \nhours of public and private services, transport). particular \n\nimportance \n\nattaches \n\nand \n\nto \n\nIn the present economic context, there is a clear need for closer \napproximation in levels of support for employed parents, including \nservices providing care for children, in order to eliminate \nimbalances in the labour market and facilitate mobility between \nMember States. The Single Market will produce new Jobs and women \nwill be able to take advantage of these, if support measures, \nincluding services providing care for children are available and \naffordable. These support services are also essential, if women are \nto undertake training and retraining which is crucial during periods \nof labour market restructuring. Finally, these support services are \nequally essential, if the Community is to make the optimum use of \nwomen's skills, talents and abilities. It is thus economically and \nsocially desirable to improve the quantity and quality of services \nproviding care for children and other measures intended to reconcile \nresponsibilities arising from the care and upbringing of children \nwith the employment, education and training of parents. B. SITUATION IN THE MEMBER STATES \n\n1. 2. 3. The Employment Position of Women and Men with Children \n\nAnnex 1 provides an overview of some aspects of the employment \nposition of women and men with children. This Annex shows the \ncontinuing differential \nimpact of children and their care on \nparticipation by men and women in the labour market; 44% of women \nwith children aged 0-9 were employed in 1988, less than half the \nlevel for men with children (92%) and substantially lower than the \nemployment rate for childless women of childbearing age (71%). Women \nwith children were more likely to be employed part-time, compared to \nmen with children or childless women. There is little data on the qualitative aspects of parents' \nemployment (for example, type of occupation, pay and conditions, \nprospects, etc. ), which would permit an assessment of the impact of \nchildren and their care on these aspects of the employment position \nof men and women. Gaps in Service Provision \n\nAnnex 2 shows the number of places in pub 11cIy-funded serv i ces for \nchildren up to the age of 10, as a percentage of the child \npopulation; it excludes children attending primary school, which is \ncompulsory in all the Member States, but shows the hours that \nchildren attend primary schools, and therefore the \ncontribution \nthat these schools make to children's care. Although information on \nthe private sector is more sketchy, there are indications of \nsubstantial unmet need for services throughout the Community, even in \nthe country with the highest level of provision. (4) \n\nCOM (89) 363 final. - 4 -\n\n4. 5. 6. 7. !n addition to levels of provision varying substantially between \nMember States, differences also exist within individual Member \nStates, so that there are disparities between regions regarding \naccess to services. In general, cities tend to be better served than \nrural areas regarding public provision. Ages of Children covered by existing services \n\nThere is a high level of unmet need for children under three, with \nplaces for 5% or less of children under three in services in eight \nMember States. Places in publicly-funded pro-primary schooling or \nkindergartens for children over the age of three, but below \ncompulsory school age, are more common. Four countries provide such \nprovision for over 80% of children-, six for 50%-80%; and two for \nunder 50%. In many countries, however, the hours of opening of these \nservices, like primary schools are such that they need to be \nsupplemented by services providing \"outside school hours\" care. There is, however, also a high level of unmet need for services \nproviding this type of care with very low levels of provision in many \ncountries*5^ (see Annex 1, last column). Public funding may be supplemented by other sources of funding, for \nexample from parents and employers. At present the extent of public \nfunding varies widely, not only between Member States, but also for \ndifferent age groups of children within Member States. Except in one \nMember State, most parents with children under 3 must rely on \nprivately funded services; parents with children under 3 using \npublicly funded services, and parents with older children at \nkindergarten, have to pay according to income, although levels of \npayment vary between Member States; parents with children in pre-\nprimary or primary school make no payment although they may have to \npay for \"outside school hours\" care. In five countries, there is \nsome degree of tax relief to parents for costs incurred in using \nservices, but this subsidy is much less than that given to parents \nusing publicly-funded services and is not income-related so as to \ngive more assistance to lower income families. Moreover, research suggests that a barrier to increased labour force \nparticipation rates, and more particularly employment rates, among \nwomen is the presence or absence of suitable childcare arrangements \nCare \nfor children from 0 to 10 and not merely creches for babies. for children of school age fails to be provided for more than a third \nof children in any country and is virtually non-existent or very low \nin nine Member States. While variations can partly be explained by \ndifferent levels of need and national income, this is only a partial \nexplanation for the unequal access to services that exists.

Major gaps in information make it impossible to provide comprehensive \nand comparative data on the position in Member States, not only as \nregards services providing care for children, but also leave \narrangements for employed parents with responsibility for the care \nand upbringing of children, the environment, structure and \norganisation \nfamily \nresponsibilities which are component parts of a broad approach to \nchild care (see section C below). the workplace \n\nsharing \n\nthe \n\nand \n\nof \n\nof \n\nInformation on privately funded childcare services is generally \ninadequate, if available at all.

Leave Arrangements for employed parents with responsibility for the care \nand upbringing of children \n\n10. Annex 3 provides an overview of Parental Leave. Main points about \nthis provision are that parental leave is offered in 8 countries, one \noffers a more general leave which can be used for child care \npurposes; there is no provision in three countries. Periods of leave \nvary from 10 weeks to nearly 3 years. Except for Denmark, parents \ntaking leave receive either no payment or else a payment that is low \nin relation to normal earnings; leave is also inflexible in terms of \nthe degree of choice available to parents in how they may take leave \n(for example, parents may not choose between taking leave on a full-\ntime or part-time basis, or between taking it in one bloc of time or \nseveral). Leave is taken overwhelmingly by mothers. 11. In addition to this form of leave, six countries provide some \nstatutory leave to care for sick children, but this is only paid in \nthree cases. Only Denmark provides statutory Paternity Leave. Environment, structure and organisation of the workplace \n\n12. As regards initiatives to reconcile working and family life in the \ncontext of the environment, structure and organization of the \nworkplace, national studies in a few Member States suggest that \ndevelopments have, so far, been limited and uneven in application \n<6) (7) (8).

Daniel, Policy Studies Institute, UK, 1991. - 6 -\n\nwomen) in the labour force. However, women's increased participation \nin the world of work has not been accompanied by the measures \nnecessary to achieve a matching reduction in women's share of family \nresponsibilities, and to facilitate the reconciliation of employment \nand family responsibilities for both men and women. Many women are \nstill forced into making undesirable choices between a career at \nwork, carrying the double burden of also being mainly responsible for \nthe family or a career at home, and in the main expected to make \narrangements for caring for children and relatives and giving up \ntheir leisure time and even part or all of their work, if the need \narises. C. THE BROAD APPROACH TO CHILD CARE \n\n1. 2. An essential component of child care services is the need for \nquality. Quality in child care must mean that which is conducive to \nthe welfare and development of the child. It is important to break \ndown the false distinction between care and education, so that there \nis no stigmatisation of \"care\", in so much as it is seen as a \n\"parking service\" for parents at work. Services should be flexible, \nlocal, and multi-functional. Good quality child care is an \ninseparable issue from that of the people who work to provide those \nservices. Moreover, services of poor quality will constrain women's \nemployment, deterring some from entering the labour market and \nproviding an additional source of stress for women already employed. Reconciling family responsibilities arising from the care and \nupbringing of children with employment, education and training \nrequires measures in four areas : high quality services to provide \ncare for children while parents with family responsibilities for \nchildren are employed or receiving education or training; leave \narrangements for parents with responsibility for the care and \nupbringing of children; changes in the culture and structure of \nindividual workplaces, to make workplaces supportive of the needs of \nworkers with responsibilities for the care and upbringing of \nchildren; the more equal sharing of family responsibilities arising \nfrom the care and upbringing of children, particularly between men \nand women. Each area \nnot sufficient. A \ncomprehensive and coherent programme, covering all these areas, is \nneeded. is necessary, but \n\nD. SERVICES TO PROVIDE CARE FOR CHILDREN \n\n1. There is a range of services which may be provided in institutions \nsuch as nurseries, kindergartens, pre-primary or primary schools, \ncentres providing out-of-school care; or by childminders in organised \nchildcaring schemes. 2. The main points about such child care services are: \n\n(i) There are major and unjustifiable inconsistencies, or lack of \ncoherence, between services in a number of important areas, \nincluding \naccessibility; funding and costs to parents; \navailability of places; hours of opening*, orientation and \npurpose; administrative responsibility; training, pay and \nconditions of workers. - 7 -\n\n(ii) Services need to work closely with local communities and with \nparents. This includes : responsiveness to local and parental \nneeds and circumstances; regular contact and exchanges of \ninformation; and creating opportunities for parents and local \ncommunities to influence the objectives and management of \nservices. (ill) Although Annex 2 covers only services for children until the \nage of 10, it should be recalled that family responsibilities \narising from the care of children are wide-ranging and continue \nto exist at least until children leave school, although the \nnature of these responsibilities change, as children get older \nand become less dependent. (iv) Nearly all workers in the relevant services, whether publicly \nor privately funded, are women. The conditions and training of \nworkers in child care services should be improved to reflect \nthe importance of their work. (v) While some parents use private arrangements from choice, many \nothers do so for lack of publicly-funded services. Increased \nservices at an affordable cost are therefore necessary to \nensure that there is a closing of the gap between demand and \nthe existing level of services. Given that the need for child \ncare is not a matter concerning parents alone, but is of \neconomic and social consequence, public funding should also \nmake an important contribution to provision. (vi) Where public funding is supplemented by other sources of \nfunding, for example from parents and employers, this should be \npart of a coherent and comprehensive policy on the funding of \nservices. Where services are provided \nin workplaces or \notherwise supported by individual employers, this should be \nregarded as a supplement to locally based, integrated services \nand not as an alternative and should be provided within the \nframework of a fully developed equal opportunities policy. E. LEAVE ARRANGEMENTS FOR EMPLOYED PARENTS WITH RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE \nCARE AND UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN \n\nWorking parents may not always be able or willing to leave the care \nof their children to professional or other chiIdminders. An \nintrinsic feature of child care is therefore the need for various \nforms of leave from work to enable parents to be absent from \nemployment at key times and return without loss of Job, seniority or \ninterruption of their contractual relationship*9). (9) \n\n\"The impact of the Completion of the Internal Market on Women in the \nEuropean Community\". - 8 -\n\nF. THE ENVIRONMENT. STRUCTURE AND ORGANISATION OF THE WORKPLACE \n\n1. 2. The working environment, workplace practice and attitudes are also a \ncrucial element in a broad approach to childcare. Arrangements in \nthese areas may additionally permit continuity of working careers and \ncontribute towards reducing the costs of staff turnover. There is therefore a need to increase understanding amongst employers \nand trade unions of the importance of improving the environment, \nstructure and organisation of individual workplaces and of the means \nto do this. Measures are needed to review the situation in \nworkplaces, to introduce appropriate initiatives and to monitor their \neffectiveness, to stimulate, evaluate and disseminate innovative \nmeasures of good employment practice. Examples of such practice \ninclude the hours at which meetings are held to avoid incompatibility \nwith the need to collect children rom creches; the importance of \ngiving adequate notice of the need to travel; the need for flexible \nworking hours, etc. G. SHARING OF FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES \n\nWomen carry too great a share of responsibilities and that is one of \nthe fundamental causes of women's unequal position on the labour \nmarket and consequent inequalities in employment and income. Wage \nrates and occupation position - central criteria for assessing \nquality - are not determined purely by market forces, but by the \nsocial costs of reproduction which are unequally distributed. A \ngreater involvement of men in family responsibilities seems crucial, \nif women are to enter the labour market on an equal footing and to \nimprove the quality of their working and personal lives. As well as \ntaking a fair share of family responsibilities, men should equally be \nable to benefit from the full range of measures to reconcile family \nand professional life without Jeopardising their own chances of \ncareer development or running the risk of hostile attitudes. Changes \nin male attitudes are needed both in the home and workplace to make \nthe working environment more sympathetic and responsive to the needs \nof chiIdren. H. THE NEED FOR INFORMATION \n\nThere is a need to make appropriate arrangements to gather regularly \ninformation on : the supply and distribution of care and education \nservices for children; the take-up and use of services by families \nand the costs for families; the take-up and use of leave-, the \nprovision of employment benefits resulting from collective or \nworkplace agreements intended to provide support to workers with \nfamily responsibilities, and the use of these benefits; and the level \nof participation by men In the care of children. In gathering \ninformation and reviewing progress in achieving policy objectives, \nparticular attention should be paid to the position of certain groups \nof families, including : lone parents; low income families; rural \nfamilies; and families with special and/or other special needs. - 9 -\n\nJ. OVERALL CONCLUSIONS \n\n1. 2. 3. In the Commission's view, it emerges from the analysis of the issues \nexamined above that the Member States should undertake measures to \nenable women and men to reconcile employment, education and training \nwith responsibilities arising from the care and upbringing of \nchildren. The Commission therefore recommends that the Member States \nshould undertake a number of specific initiatives, in order to ensure \nthat all parents with such responsibilities have access to locally-\nbased and good quality services. Given that there are major gaps of information, particularly \nconcerning the supply of privately funded services, the care \narrangements made for children while parents are employed and the \nquality of services, it will be necessary to take steps to rectify \nthese inadequacies. This process should aim to increase the level \nof knowledge about the provision of care for children to that which \nalready exists on the educational system in general. The Commission undertakes : (a) to promote, in collaboration with the \nMember States and the Social Partners, the exchange, assessment and \ndissemination of information and experience in this field-, and (b) to \nsupport projects which are innovative and of transnational relevance \nand disseminate the results.

Average hours of attendance - 5-6 hours per week - are so much shoner than for other services, that it \nwould be difficult and potentially misleading to include them on the same basis as other services; however playgroups should not be forgotten when \nconsidering publicly funded provision in the Netherlands. Key: ?\u00bb no information; (-) - less than 0. 5%; (a) - school hours vary from day to day; (b) \u00ab school hours increase as children get older.

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic Social Committee of. Whereas point 16 of the Community Charter of the Fundamental Social Rights \nof Workers calls for measures to be developed to enable men and women to \nreconcile their occupational and family obligations; \n\nWhereas the Commission in its action programme implementing the Community \nCharter has included among its aims the adoption of a recommendation \nconcerning child care; \n\nWhereas the Community Charter notes that child-care methods, parental leave \nand maternity leave form part of a whole which enables people to combine \ntheir family responsibilities and occupational ambitions, and a Community \nresponse alone will not suffice, if this objective is to be attained; \n\nWhereas in its Third Medium-Term Action Programme on Equal Opportunities \nfor Women and Men (1991-1995), the Commission identified the need for \nfurther action in this area; \n\nWhereas the Communication from the Commission on Family Policies^2* draws \nattention to the need to continue actions to reconcile professional and \nfamily life and encourage the sharing of family responsibilities, and \nemphasises the importance of intensifying work relating to child care; \n\nWhereas the reconciliation of professional and family life has to be viewed \nin a wide perspective and it is important for the Community to promote a \nglobal policy aiming to achieve this reconciliation; \n\nWhereas it is essential to promote the well-being of children and families, \nensuring that the needs of all children and families are met and taking \ninto account that responsibilities arising from the care and upbringing of \nchildren continue up to and throughout the period of children's schooling, \nand to recognise the diversity that exists in the employment and household \ncircumstances of parents; \n\n(1) \n(2) C0M(89) 363 final, 8. 8. 1989. - 14 \n\nWhereas inadequate provision of good quality, affordable services providing \ncare for children and other measures to reconcile responsibility for the \ncare and upbringing of children with the employment, education and training \nof parents constitutes a major barrier to women's access to and full \nparticipation in employment, education and training, on equal terms with \nmen, as well as full participation in all areas of society; \n\nimprovements \n\nWhereas \nin services and other measures to reconcile \nresponsibilities for the care and upbringing of children with the \nemployment, education and training of parents are crucial in order to \nenable women to take full and equal advantage of the favourable effects of \nthe Single Market; \n\nWhereas furthermore, adequate services providing care for children could \nfacilitate freedom of movement of workers and mobility on the European \nlabour market; \n\nWhereas child care is a broad concept which involves good quality service \nprovision, the development of a working environment which is supportive of \nparents with responsibility for the care and upbringing of children, and \nthe sharing of family responsibilities between women and men; \n\nWhereas lack of services providing care for children and other measures to \nreconcile the care and upbringing of children with the employment, \neducation and training of parents hinders the effective use of women's \ntalents, skills and abilities and whereas demographic trends and structural \nchanges on the labour market call for these to be better used; \n\nWhereas some of the Member States have undertaken initiatives in this area \nbut the measures involved have often remained limited; \n\nWhereas in all Member States the demand for good quality, affordable care \nfor children considerably exceeds the existing supply; \n\nWhereas, moreover, disparities exist in good quality, affordable services \nproviding care for children and other measures to reconcile the care and \nupbringing of children with the employment, education and training of \nparents between Member States and between regions within Member States; \n\nWhereas the standard clause included in the Community Support Frameworks \nfor structural policy stipulates that the actions and measures taken within \nsuch a framework must conform with and, where appropriate, contribute to \nthe implementation of Community policy and legislation relating to \nequality of opportunity between women and men, and that in particular, \nconsideration must be given to training and infrastructure requirements \nwhich facilitate labour force participation by women with children; \n\nWhereas, furthermore, in the NOW Community Initiative for the promotion of \nequal opportunities for women in the field of employment and vocational \ntraining, child-care measures are provided to assist women with children \nto have access to the labour market and to vocational training courses; \n\n\f- 15 -\n\nWhereas it is therefore important to establish Community guidelines for \ncarrying out a number of specific comprehensive actions, in order to ensure \nthe development of good quality and affordable services providing care for \nchildren and other measures to reconcile the care and upbringing of \nchildren with the employment, education and training of parents, \n\nHEREBY RECOMMENDS AS FOLLOWS \n\nArticle 1 \n\nIt is recommended that Member States develop measures in order to enable \nwomen and men to reconcile their occupational and their family obligations, \narising from the care and upbringing of children. Article 2 \n\nIt is recommended that, to this end, the Member States develop with the \nappropriate involvement of central, regional and local authorities, the \nSocial Partners and other relevant organisations, measures in the following \nfour areas: \n\n(i) the provision of care for children while parents are in or \n\nseeking employment, education or training; \n\n(II) leave arrangements for employed parents with responsibility for \n\nthe care and upbringing of children-, \n\n( I N) the environment, structure and organisation of the workplace, \n\nto make it responsive to the needs of workers with children; \n\n(iv) the sharing of family responsibilities arising from the care \n\nand upbringing of children between women and men. Article 3 \n\nIn relation to the provision of services providing care for children, it is \nrecommended that Member States should take measures designed to: \n\n(a) \n\nenable all parents in or seeking employment, education or \ntraining to have access to locally based and good quality \nservices. This requires that services are affordable, services \ncombine safe and secure care with a broad education or \npedagogical approach, the needs of parents and children are \ntaken into account in determining access to services, services \nshould be available In all areas and regions of Member States, \nboth urban and rural areas, services should ensure access to \nchildren with special needs, with linguistic needs and to \nchildren in lone parent families, and be responsive to those \nneeds ; \n\n\f- 16 -\n\n(b) encourage flexibility and diversity of services, as part of a \nstrategy to increase choice and meet the different preferences, \nneeds and circumstances of children and families. Thi^ should \nbe combined with coherence between different services; \n\n(c) seek to improve the training (both initial and continous) of \nworkers in child-care services, with the objective of ensuring \nthat this training is appropriate to the great importance and \nsocial and educative value of their work; \n\n(d) encourage services to work closely with parents and with local \ncommunities involving regular contact and exchanges of \ninformation, so as to be responsive to local parental needs and \ncircumstances; \n\n(e) ensure that public funding makes an essential contribution to \nthe development of affordable, good quality, coherent services \nwhich offer choice to parents. Article 4 \n\nIn relation to leave arrangements for employed parents with responsibility \nfor the care and upbringing of children, it is recommended that Member \nStates should continue to develop measures to take realistic account of \nwomen's increased participation in the labour force. This requires the \nprovision of leave to enable all employed parents, both men and women, to \ndischarge effectively their dual working and family responsibilities, with, \ninter al la. flexibility in how leave may be taken. In relation to the environment, structure and organisation of the \nworkplace, it is recommended that Member States should: \n\nArticle 5 \n\n(a) encourage both sides of industry to promote action, inter \nai la. within the framework of collective agreements, to make \nthe environment, structure and organisation of individual \nworkplaces supportive of the needs of all working parents with \nresponsibilities for the care and upbringing of children; \n\n(b) undertake initiatives to improve the employment conditions of \nworkers in services providing care for children and ensure that \nthe social value of their work is recognized; \n\n(c) promote action especially in the public sector which might \n\nserve as an example in developing initiatives in this area. - 17 -\n\nArticle 6 \n\nIn relation to responsibilities arising from the care and upbringing of \nchildren, it is recommended that Member States promote and encourage \nincreased participation by men, in order to achieve a more equal sharing of \nparental responsibilities between men and women. Article 7 \n\nThe Member States shall inform the Commission, within three years of the \ndate of the adoption of this Recommendation, of the measures taken to give \neffect to it, in order to allow the Commission to draw up a report on all \nsuch measures.

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES \n\nC0MC91) 287 final - SYN 353 \n\nBrussels, 23 August 1991 \n\nProposal for a \n\nCOUNCIL DIRECTIVE \n\nconcerning medical devices \n\n(presented by the Commission) \n\n\f\f2 -\n\nEXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM \n\nI. GENERAL FRAMEWORK \n\nThis proposal for a directive has been prepared in the \ncontext of the White Paper on completing the internal \nm a r k e t, the work programme of which provides for \nharmonization of the laws relating to electro-medical \nequ i pment. In this c o n t e x t, the Council adopted a first directive \nrelating to active implantable medical devices \n(Directive 9 0 / 3 8 5 / E E C) on 20 June 1990. With the adoption \nof this d i r e c t i v e, a preponderant part of the field of \nmedical devices will be covered by harmonized laws. H o w e v e r, medical devices intended for \nnot included in the scope of this proposal. These products \nwill be dealt w i t h, in view of their particular n a t u r e, in a \nspec ific d i e c t i v e. diagnosis are \n\nin vitro \n\nBefore starting on the preparation of its p r o p o s a l, the \nCommission examined the regulations relating to the medical \ndevices sector. The results of this examination confirmed \nthat there are considerable differences between the Member \nStates as regards both the technical design and production \nrequirements and the administrative procedures for the \ne x a m i n a t i o n, testing, inspection and authorization for \nm a r k e t i n g, and the putting into service and after-sales \nsurveillance of medical devices. The current legislative situation in the Member States is \ncharacterized by a marked lack of uniformity if the various \nnational laws are compared with regard to their scope and \nthe kind of risks covered. A large number of specific laws \ncover certain groups of products such as electro-medical \ne q u i p m e n t, disposable p r o d u c t s, equipment for the disabled, \nsterile p r o d u c t s, and even specific p r o d u c t s. In several \nMember S t a t e s, a range of medical devices (in particular in \nthe field of sterile and disposable products) are covered, \nin the absence of specific laws, by the regulations on \nmedicinal p r o d u c t s. The fact that medical e q u i p m e n t, which \nas a general rule acts physically, is sometimes treated the \nsame as medicinal p r o d u c t s, which act p h a r m a c o l o g i c a l l y, has \nled in several cases to technical b a r r i e r s. - 3 -\n\nW i th t he r e g a rd to the m e a ns of. control u s ed to e n s u re the \ns a f e ty a nd h e a l th p r o t e c t i on of p a t i e n ts a nd u s e r s, t wo \nd i f f e r e nt a p p r o a c h es w e re f o u nd in the C o m m u n i t y.

Following a request lodged in September 1990 by several exporters \n\nfrom Mexico, the Commission announced, in November 1990, the \n\ninitiation of a review of anti-dumping measures concerning imports \n\nof polyester yarn originating in Mexico, in accordance with Article \n\n14 of Council Regulation (EEC) N' 2423/88, and commenced an \n\ninvest igat ion. 2. The measures under review were anti-dumping duties of 15. 8% on non-\n\ntextured partially oriented filament yarn (POY) and anti-dumping \n\nduties ranging from 5. 8% to 26. 7% on textured polyester yarn \n\nfilament (PTY), imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) N* 3905/88. This \n\nregulation also imposed duties on polyester yarn from South Korea, \n\nTaiwan and Turkey, which are not part of the present case. 3. a) \n\nIn calculating dumping, normal value has been established on \n\nthe basis of the price actually paid or payable for the product \n\nsold on the domestic market. In the case of two exporters, \n\ndomestic price was consistently and substantially below cost of \n\nproduction during the investigation period. In these cases, \n\nnormal value was based on cost of production plus domestic \n\nprofit from other exporters. Export prices were based on the \n\nprice paid or payable for the product exported to the \n\nCommunity. b) Normal values (calculated on a monthly average bases) and \n\nexport prices (brought to ex-factory level) were compared for \n\nthe corresponding month on a transaction-by-transaction basis. With the exception of one exporter of PTY, whose dumping margin \n\n(0. 53%) is, according to a consistent practice cf the \n\nCommission, considered to be de minimis, no dumping wa~ found \n\nas regards imports of PTY and POY originating in Mexico. - 2 -\n\nThe investigation has therefore demonstrated that imports of \n\npolyester yarn originating in Mexico are no longer being dumped. The Council notes that this absence of dumping, in the presence of a \n\nsignificant volume of imports, has come about as a result of a \n\ndurable change in the behaviour of the exporters, notably in the \n\narea of pricing policy. In view of these changed circumstances, it is proposed that the \n\ndefinitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) N' 3905/88 \n\non imports originating in Mexico be repealed. The provisions of \n\nRegulation (EEC) N* 3905/88 which relate to imports of the same \n\nproduct originating in South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey should remain \n\nunchanged. Furthermore, it should be noted that this amendment, \n\nwhich relates only to imports originating in Mexico, has no effect \n\non the date on which the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on \n\nimports of polyester yarn originating in South Korea, Taiwan and \n\nTurkey shall lapse. This date continues to be based on the date of \n\nentry into force of Regulation (EEC) N\" 3905/88. -4* fei\u00ab> \n\nTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, \n\nHaving regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic \n\nCommunity, \n\nHaving regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N\" 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on \n\nprotection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not \n\nmembers of the European Economic Community*1) and in particular \n\nArt icle 14 thereof, \n\nHaving regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after \n\nconsultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the \n\nabove R\u00e9gul\u00e2t ion, \n\nWhereas, \n\nA. PROCEDURE \n\nIn November 1990 the Commission announced by a notice published in \n\nthe Official Journal of the European Commun!ties<2) the \n\ninitiation of a review of anti-dumping measures concerning imports \n\nof polyester yarn originating in Mexico, in accordance with \n\nArticle 14 of Regulation (EEC) N\" 2423/88 and commenced an \n\ninvestigation. The measures in question consisted of definitive \n\nduties on imports of polyester yarn originating in Mexico imposed \n\nby Council Regulation (EEC) N' 3905/88*3>.

The proceeding was initiated as a result of a request lodged in \n\nSeptember 1990 by several exporters in Mexico. The request \n\nalleged changed circumstances since the imposition of the \n\ndefinitive anti-dumping duty. In particular, it was alleged that \n\nimports of polyester yarn from Mexico to the Community were now \n\nbeing made at non-dumped prices. The evidence contained in this \n\nrequest was considered sufficient to justify opening a proceeding. 3. The Commission officially advised the exporters known to be \n\nconcerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the \n\ncomplainant in the original proceeding, the Comit\u00e9 International \n\nde la Rayonne et des Fibres Synth\u00e9tiques (CIRFS) representing the \n\nCommunity industry, and gave the parties concerned the opportunity \n\nto make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. 4. The exporters and CIRFS made their views known in writing. 5. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed \n\nnecessary for the purposes of this proceeding and carried out \n\ninvestigations at the premises of the following Mexican \n\nproducers/exporters: \n\nFibras Quimicas SA, Monterrey, Mexico \n\nNylon de Mexico SA, Monterrey, Mexico \n\nKimex SA, Mexico City \n\nFibras Sinteticas SA, Mexico City \n\nCelanese Mexicana SA, Mexico City \n\n6. The investigation of dumping covered the period 1 January 1990 to \n\n30 September 1990 (the investigation period). - 4 -\n\nB. PRODUCTS UNDER CONSIDERATION \n\n(i) Definition of products \n\n7. The products concerned are non-textured partially oriented \n\nfilament yarn (POY), falling within CN Code 5402 42 00, and \n\ntextured polyester yarn filament (PTY), falling within CN Codes \n\n5402 33 10 and 5402 33 90. (ii) Description of products \n\n8. POY is used to produce PTY and other types of yarn. PTY of \n\nvarying quality is produced, and there are several different \n\ntypes. 9. Three qualities of PTY are produced \n\n1st Quality: Mechanically perfect, guaranteed for dyeing \n\n2nd Quality: Mechanically perfect, not guaranteed for dyeing \n\n(\"whites only\") \n\n3rd Quality: Lower quality yarn \n\nThe proportion of each quality produced depends on the efficiency \n\nof the production process. The exporters are producing all three \n\nqua I it ies of PTY. - 5 -\n\n10. There are different types of PTY. The relative thickness and \n\nweight of PTY is expressed in units of 1 dtex, which is equal to \n\nthe weight in grams of 10. 000 metres of yarn. (It is also \n\nsometimes expressed in denier, of which 1. 1 equals 1 dtex). Therefore the yarn becomes finer as the number of dtex becomes \n\nsmaller. Furthermore, every type of yarn contains a certain \n\nnumber of constituent filaments, given a certain dtex. The \n\ngreater the number of filaments, the greater is the value of the \n\nyarn. C. DUMPING \n\n(I) Normal value \n\n11. Normal value was calculated separately for each month (in view of \n\nthe high inflation rate in Mexico) and for each different type and \n\nquality of yarn. (Recitals 10 and 11). 12. In general, normal value was established on the basis of the price \n\nactually paid or payable for the product sold on the domestic \n\nmarket. 13. In the case of two exporters, domestic price was consistently and \n\nsubstantially below cost of production during the investigation \n\nperiod. In these cases it was considered appropriate to establish \n\na constructed normal value in accordance with Article 2(3)(b)(ii) \n\nof Regulation (EEC) n\" 2423/88 using these companies' costs of \n\nproduction plus a profit (6%), equivalent to that realised by \n\nother Mexican exporters on profitable sales in the domestic \n\nmarket, which was considered to be a reasonable level of profit. - 6 -\n\n(il) Export price \n\n14. Export prices were determined on the basis of the price actually \n\npaid or payable for the product exported to the Community. (i i i) Comparison \n\n15. The normal value per type and quality (calculated on a monthly \n\naverage basis) was compared with export prices of the same type \n\nand quality for the corresponding month on a transaction-by-\n\ntransaction basis. Requests for allowances were accepted with \n\nregard to differences affecting price comparability and bearing a \n\ndirect relationship to the sales under consideration and for which \n\nsatisfactory evidence was submitted. All comparisons were made at \n\nthe ex-factory level. (iv) Dumping margins \n\n16. With the exception of one exporter of PTY, whose dumping margin \n\n(0. 53%) is, according to the consistent practice of the \n\nCommission, considered to be de minimis, no dumping was found as \n\nregards imports of PTY and POY originating in Mexico. 17. The Council confirms the conclusions of the Commission relating to \n\ndump i ng. - 7 -\n\nC. CONCLUSION \n\n(i) Repeal of ant I-dumping measures \n\n18. The investigation has demonstrated that imports of polyester yarn \n\nfrom Mexico are no longer being dumped. The Council notes that \n\nthis absence of dumping, in the presence of a significant volume \n\nof imports, has continued over a substantial period and has been \n\nrepeated on export markets outside the Community. The Council \n\ntherefore concludes that there has been a durable change in the \n\nbehaviour of the Mexican exporters, particularly in the area of \n\npricing policy. In view of these changed circumstances, the \n\nCouncil considers that the anti-dumping measures concerning \n\nimports of polyester yarn originating in Mexico are now neither \n\njustified nor necessary and should therefore be repealed. 19. The exporters and the complainant requested, and were granted, the \n\nopportunity to be heard by the Commission. At their request, the exporters and the complainant were also \n\ninformed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of \n\nwhich it was proposed to recommend the repeal of the ant I-dumping \n\nmeasures, concerning imports of polyester yarns originating in \n\nMex i co. The parties were granted a period within which to make \n\nrepresentation on any of the above matters subsequent to \n\ndisclosure. Where appropriate, their comments were taken into \n\nconsid\u00e9r\u00e2t ion. - 8 -\n\n20. Since the imports orginating in South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey \n\nwere of such importance that they have to be considered to have by \n\nthemselves cumulatively caused material injury during the original \n\ninvestigation period, the repeal of the anti-dumping measures \n\nconcerning imports of polyester yarn originating in Mexico cannot \n\nhave any effect on the continuing validity of the anti-dumping \n\nmeasures imposed on imports of the same product originating in \n\nSouth Korea, Taiwan and Turkey. (ii) Amendment to Regulation 3905/88 \n\n21. Regulation (EEC) N\" 3905/88 relating to imports of polyester yarn \n\noriginating in Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey, should \n\naccordingly be amended in order to repeal the definitive anti \n\ndumping duty imposed by that regulation on imports originating in \n\nMex ico. 22. The provisions of Regulation (EEC) N* 3905/88 which relate to \n\nimports of the same product originating in South Korea, Taiwan and \n\nTurkey should remain unchanged. 23. This amendment, which relates only to imports originating in \n\nMexico, should have no effect on the expiry of the definitive \n\nanti-dumping duty imposed on imports of polyester yarn originating \n\nin South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey. The prospective date on which the measures concerning these \n\ncountries shall lapse should continue to be based on the date of \n\nentry into force of Regulation (EEC) n* 3905/88, \n\n\f- 9 -\n\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION \n\nARTICLE I \n\nArticle 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) N\" 3905/88 is hereby amended to \n\nexclude the reference to \"Mexico\".

In April 1990 the Council imposed a definitive ant i -dumping duty on \nimports of small screen colour television receivers (SCTVs) \noriginating in the Republic of Korea, by Regulation (EEC) 1048/90. 2. In the above regulation, duties of between 10,2 % and 10,5 % were \n\nimposed on imports from three cooperating exporters. 3. The duty applicable to other Korean exporters (the general duty) who \nrefused to cooperate in the investigation, was established on the \nbasis of facts available, in accordance with Article 7(7)(b) of \nRegulation (EEC) 2423/88, at a level of 19. 6 %, with the dumping \nmargin calculated by comparing an export price based on the average \nC. I. F. unit price of imports into the Community from Korea with a \nnormal value based on the average domestic selling price of the \ncooperating Korean exporters. This method was used because of the \nactivities of one particular exporter which was known to be sending \nlarge volumes of SCTVs to the Community, often transhipped through \nthird countries, and which refused to co-operate with the Commission. 4. In November 1990 the Commission received information from the \nElectronic Industries Association of Korea (E. I. A. K. ) to the effect \nthat the non-cooperating exporter mentioned above was no longer \nexporting small screen colour television receivers to the European \nCommunity. They alleged that this changed situation removed the \njustification for the 19,6 % general duty and suggested that it \nshould be reduced to the level of the highest duty for a cooperating \ncompany (i. e. 10,5 % ). 5. In the light of this information, the Commission, in January 1991, \nopened a partial review on its own initiative, limited to question of \nwhether or not to modify the general duty. 6. The Commission's investigation showed that the exporter whose \nactivities led to the imposition of the 19. 6 % general duty is no \nlonger producing SCTVs in Korea. In addition, it was established that the quantities exported by other \nnon-cooperating exporters were extremely small, even before the \nimposition of the anti-dumping duty. \"L \n\n\f2 -\n\nIn view of these changed circumstances, the imposition an anti \ndumping duty on a different basis from that used for the cooperating \nexporters is no longer Justified, and the appropriate level for the \ngeneral duty should be highest rate of anti-dumping duty found for a \ncooperating exporter, i. e. 10. 5 %. 8. Regulation (EEC) No 1048/90 should therefore be amended to reduce the \ngeneral duty from 19. 6 % to 10. 5 %. This measure shall lapse on the \nsame day as the definitive anti-dumping measures imposed by \nRegulation (EEC) No 1048/90. 9. Of course, if the Commission becomes aware of a resumption of \nproduction of SCTVs in Korea by the exporter mentioned in \nParagraph 3, 4 and 6, it will consider reopening a new partial review \nin order to investigate the matter. Proposal for a \n\nCOUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) \n\n\u00abrending Regulation (EEC) No 1048/90 with regard to the \n\nirrposition of a definitive anti-durrping duty on irrports of \n\n\u00abrail screen colour television receivers originating in the \n\nRepubl ic of Korea \n\nTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, \n\nHaving regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, \n\nHaving regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on \n\nprotection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not \nmembers of the European Economic Commun!ty<1), and in particular \n\nArticle 14 thereof, \n\nHaving regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after \n\nconsultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the \n\nabove Regulation.

PREVIOUS PROCEDURE \n\n(a) Imposition of definitive anti-dumping duty \n\n(1) In February 1988 the Commission initiated an anti-dumping proceeding \n\nconcerning imports of small screen colour television receivers \n\n(hereafter referred to as SCTVs) originating in the Republic of \n\nKorea <2>. This followed a complaint lodged by the European \n\nAssociation of Consumer Electronic Manufacturers (E. A. C. E. M. ), \n\nrepresenting a major proportion of Community production. Following an \n\ninvestigation, a provisional anti-dumping duty was imposed by \n\nCommission Regulation (EEC) No 3232/89(3), and a definitive duty \n\nwas subsequently imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1048/90(4). (b) General duty \n\n(2) In Regulation (EEC) No 1048/90, duties of between 10,2 % and 10,5 % \n\nwere imposed on imports from three cooperating exporters. (3) The duty applicable to other Korean exporters (hereafter referred to \n\nas the general duty) and in particular to one exporter who refused to \n\ncooperate in the investigation and who was known to have exported \n\nlarge quantities of the product concerned to the Community, was \n\nestablished on the basis of what were considered to be the most \n\nappropriate facts available, i. e. by comparing an export price based \n\non the average C. I. F. unit price of imports into the Community from \n\nKorea with a normal value based on the average domestic selling price \n\nof the cooperating Korean exporters. The margin thus established was \n\n19. 6%.

I. A. K. ) to the effect \n\nthat the non-cooperating exporter mentioned above was no longer \n\nexporting small screen colour television receivers to the European \n\nCommunity. It was alleged that this changed situation removed the \n\nJustification for the 19,6 % general duty and suggested that it \n\nshould be reduced to the level of the highest duty imposed on imports \n\nof a cooperating exporter (i. e. 10,5 % ). (5) After consulting the Advisory Committee, the Commission decided that \n\nthere was sufficient evidence to Justify the initiation of a partial \n\nreview, limited in scope to the question of whether or not to modify \n\nthe general duty. The partial review was opened on the initiative of \n\nthe Commission, in accordance with Article 14 of Council Regulation \n\n(EEC) 2423/88, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the \nEuropean Communities*5*. (6) The Commission officially advised E. I. A. K. , the exporters who \n\ncooperated in the original Investigation, the representatives of the \n\n>-\n\nexporting country and the complainant in the original proceeding \n\n(E. A. C. E. M. ), and gave the parties concerned the opportunity to make \n\ntheir views known in writing and to request a hearing. (7) E. I. A. K. , some exporters and E. A. C. E. M. made their views known in \n\nwr i t i n g. (8) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be \n\nnecessary for the purposes of this proceeding and in particular \n\nreceived and verified to the extent necessary information from \n\nE. I. A. K. (5) OJ No C 18, 26. 1. 1991, p. 3 \n\nG \n\n\f- 4 -\n\nM l. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION \n\n(a) Determination of general duty in original anti-dumping investigation \n\n(9) As is stated by the Commission in Recital 33 of Regulation (EEC) \n\n3232/89 (imposing the provisional duty), for those Korean exporters \n\nwho did not make themselves known during the course of the original \n\ninvestigation, dumping was determined on the basis of what were \n\nconsidered by the Commission to be the most appropriate facts \n\navailable, in accordance with Article 7(7)(b) of Regulation (EEC) \n\nNo 2423/88. (10) For these non-cooperating exporters, the dumping margin was \n\ncalculated by comparing an export price based on the average C. I. F. unit price of imports into the Community from Korea (according to \n\n1987 Eurostat data) with a normal value based on the average \n\ndomestic selling price of the cooperating Korean exporters. The \n\nresulting dumping margin of 19. 6 % became that applicable to the \n\nnon-cooperating exporters and was imposed as the general duty, while \n\nthe imports of the three cooperating Korean exporters (Daewoo, \n\nGoldstar and Samsung) are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties \n\nof 10. 2 %, 10. 4 % and 10. 5 % respectively. (11) The major reason for not considering the highest duty imposed on \n\nimports from a cooperating exporter to be appropriate for the non-\n\ncooperating exporters was the behaviour of one \n\nparticular \n\nmanufacturer based in Korea. This company was known to be exporting \n\nlarge quantities of SCTVs to the Community, with many of them being \n\ntrans-shipped via third countries. It was approached by the \n\nCommission during its on-the-spot investigation, with the assistance \n\nof the Electronic Industries Association of Korea, with a view to \n\nsecuring its co-operation. However, the company refused to co \n\noperate. - 5 -\n\n(12) The Commission decided, and the Council confirmed, that, in these \n\ncircumstances, neither the dumping margins determined for the \n\ncooperating exporters nor the information contained in the complaint \n\nprovided the most appropriate basis for determining the margin of \n\ndumping for non-cooperating exporters. (b) Changed trade situation \n\n(13) The 19. 6 % general duty was imposed on the basis of the facts \n\navailable for the original investigation period - 1987. In view of \n\nthe information received from E. I. A. K. and other sources, it is \n\nclear that the trade situation concerning the above exporter has now \n\nchanged considerably. (i) \n\nInformation from E. I. A. K. JFr \n\n(14) According to E. I. A. K. 's internal statistics, and independent data \n\nobtained from the Korean Foreign Trade Association, both of which \n\nwere verified by the Commission, the exporter in question has not \n\nexported S C T Vs to the Community since 1988. Furthermore, its total \n\nexports from Korea of S C T Vs to all destinations in 1990 amounted to \n\nonly 3 % of the 1988 volume. (15) E. I. A. K. supplied evidence that the exporter involved had shifted \n\nits capacity away from CTV's to other electronic products. (16) The exporter, which is a member of E. I. A. K. , had supplied the \n\nAssociation with a signed declaration that it no longer planned to \n\nexport S C T Vs to the Community. Furthermore, it was established that \n\nit had converted its production facilities to the manufacture of \n\nother electronic products. f \n\n\f(ii) \n\nInformation from Korean Ministry of Trade and Industry \n\n(17) In May 1991, the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Korea certified \n\nto the Commission that the exporter had now ceased all production \n\nof SCTVs in Korea, and provided appropriate documentary evidence. (c) Imports from other non-cooperatIng exporters \n\n(18) The Commission also established that the export volumes of other \n\nnon-cooperating exporters were extremely small, even before the \n\nimposition of the anti-dumping duty. (d) Conclusion \n\n(19) In view of these changed circumstances, the Council concludes that \n\nthe situation which Justified the use of a different basis from that \n\napplied to the cooperating exporters for the purpose of imposing an \n\nanti-dumping duty no longer exists. The exporter mentioned in \n\nrecitals 13-17 has now ceased production of SCTVs in Korea and \n\ntherefore the quantities exported to the Community by non-\n\ncooperating exporters can only be very small. In these circumstances \n\nthe appropriate level for the general duty should be the highest \n\nrate of anti-dumping duty imposed on imports from a cooperating \n\nexporter i. e. 10. 5 %. (20) This rate of duty does not act as an incentive to circumvention, nor \n\nas a reward for non-cooperation, but constitutes an equitable \n\nresponse to the changed trade situation. (21) The parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations \n\nupon which the findings were based, and were granted a period within \n\nwhich to make representations to the Commission. Where appropriate, \n\ntheir comments were taken into consideration. E. A. C. E. M. requested, \n\nand was granted, an opportunity to be heard by the Commission. vith \n\nregard to its findings in this proceeding. a \n\n\f- 7 -\n\nIV. AMENDMENT TO REGULATION (EEC) No 1048/90 \n\nc \n\n(22) Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1048/90 should therefore be amended \n\nto reduce the general anti-dumping duty from 19. 6 % to 10. 5 %, with \n\neffect from the date of entry into force of the present regulation.

Note 1 : \n\n1. 1 \n\nThe first two columns In the list describe the product obtained. The \nfirst column gives the heading number or chapter number used In the \nHarmonized System and the second column gives the description of \ngoods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each \nentry in the first two columns a rule Is specified in columns 3 or 4. Where, In some cases, the entry In the first column Is preceded by an \n'ex', this signifies that the rule In columns 3 or 4 applies only to \nthe part of that heading or chapter as described in column 2. 1. 2 \n\nWhere several heading numbers are grouped together In column 1 or a \nchapter number Is given and the description of products in column 2 \nIs therefore given In general terms, the adjacent rule in columns 3 \nor 4 applies to all products which, under the Harmonized System, are \nclassified In headings of the chapter or In any of the headings \ngrouped together In column 1. 1. 3 \n\nWhere there are different rules In the list applying to different \nproducts within a heading, each Indent contains the description of \nthat part of the heading covered by the adjacent rule in columns 3 or \n4. 1. 4 \n\nFor the products of Chapters 84 to 91 Inclusive, If no origin rule is \ngiven in column 4, the rule set out In column 3 has to be applied. 91 \n\n\f- 2 -\n\nNote 2: \n\n2. 1 \n\nThe term \"manufacture\" covers any kind of working or processing \nIncluding \"assembly\" or specific operations. However, see Note 3. 5 \nbe Iow. 2. 2 \n\nThe term \"material\" covers any Ingredient, raw material, component \nor part, etc. , used In the manufacture of the product. 2. 3 \n\nThe term \"product\" refers to the product being manufactured, even If \nit is intended for later use in another manufacturing operation. 2. 4 \n\nThe term \"goods\" covers both materials and products. Note 3: \n\n3. 1 \n\n3. 2 \n\n3. 3 \n\nIn the case of any heading not In the list or any part of a heading \nthat is not in the list, the \"change of heading\" rule set out in \nArticle 3, paragraph 1 applies. If a \"change of heading\" condition \napplies to any entry In the list, then it Is contained In the rule In \ncolumn 3. The working or processing required by a rule In columns 3 or 4 has to \nbe carried out only In relation to the non-originating materials \nused. The restrictions contained In a rule In columns 3 or 4 \nlikewise apply only to the non-orIglnatIng materials used. Where a rule states that \"materials of any heading\" may be used, \nmaterials of the same heading as the product may also be used, \nsubject, however, to any specific limitations which may also be \ncontained In the rule. However, the expression \"manufacture from \nmaterials of any heading, Including other materials of heading No. \" \nmeans that only materials classified In the same heading as the \nproduct of a different description than that of the product as given \nIn column 2 of the list may be used. 92 \n\n\f-3 -\n\n3. 4 \n\nIf a product made from non-originating materials which has acquired \noriginating status during manufacture by vlrture of the change of \nheading rule or Its own list rule is used as a material In the \nprocess of manufacture of another product, then the rule applicable \nto the product In which it is Incorporated does not apply to It. For example: \n\nAn engine of heading No. 8407, for which the rule states that the \nvalue of the non-originating materials which may be Incorporated may \nnot exceed 40% of the ex-works price, Is made from \"other alloy steel \nroughly shaped by forging\" of heading heading No. 7224. If this forging has been forged in the country concerned from a non-\noriginating ingot then the forging has already acquired origin by \nvirtue of the rule for heading No. ex 7224 In the list. It can then \ncount as originating in the value calculation for the engine \nregardless of whether it was produced in the same factory or another. The value of the non-origlnatIng Ingot is thus not taken Into account \nwhen adding up the value of the non-originating materials used. Even if the change of heading rule or the other rules contained In \nthe list are satisfied, a product shall not acquire originating \nstatus if the processing carried out, taken as a whole, is \nInsufficient within the meaning of Article 3, paragraph 3. The unit of qualification for the application of the origin rules \nshall be the particular product which is considered as the basic unit \nwhen determining classification using the nomenclature of the \nHarmonized System. In the case of sets of products which are \nclassified by virtue of General Rule 3 for the Interpretation of the \nHarmonized System, the unit of qualification shall be determined in \nrespect of each Item In the set: this provision is equally \napplicable to sets of headings Nos. 6308, 8206 and 9605. Accordingly, it follows that: \n\nwhen a product composed of a group or assembly of articles Is \nclassified under the terms of the Harmonized System In a single \nheading, the whole constitutes the unit of qualification. 3. 5 \n\n3. 6 \n\n93 \n\n\f- 4 -\n\nwhen a consignment consists of a number of identical products \nclassified under the same heading of the Harmonized System, each \nproduct must be taken Individually when applying the origin \nrules. Where, under General Rule 5 of the Harmonized System, packing is \nincluded with the pi oduct for classification purposes, It shall be \nincluded for the purposes of determining origin. Note 4 \n\n4. 1 \n\nThe rule In the list represents the minimum amount of working or \nprocessing required and the carrying out of more working or \nprocessing also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying \nout of less working or processing cannot confer origin. Thus If a \nrule says that non-or Iglnat Ing material at a certain level of \nmanufacture may be used, the use of such material at an earlier stage \nof manufacture is allowed and the use of such material at a later \nstage Is not. 4. 2 \n\nWhen a rule In the list specifies that a product may be manufactured \nfrom more than one material, this means that any one or more \nmaterials may be used. It does not require that all be used. For example: \n\nThe rule for fabrics says that natural fibres may be used and that \nchemical materials, among other materials, may also be used. This \ndoes not mean that both have to be used; one can use one or the other \nor both. If, however, a restriction applies to one material and other \nrestrictions apply to other materials in the same rule, then the \nrestrictions only apply to the materials actually used. For example: \n\nThe rule for sewing machines specifies that both the thread tension \nmechanism used and the zigzag mechanism used must originate; these \ntwo restrictions only apply If the mechanisms concerned are actually \nincorporated Into the sewing machine. 94 \n\n\f- 5 -\n\n4. 3 When a rule In the list specifies that a product must be manufactured \nfrom a particular material, the condition obviously does not prevent \nthe use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, \ncannot satisfy the rule. For example: \n\nThe rule for heading No. 1904 which specifically excludes the use of \ncereals or their derivatives does not prevent the use of mineral \nsalts, chemicals and other additives which are not produced from \ncereals. For example: \n\nIn the case of an article made from non-woven materials. If the use \nof only non-orIglnatIng yarn Is allowed for this class of article, it \nIs not possible to start from non-woven cloth - even If non-woven \ncloths cannot normally be made from yarn. In such cases, the \nstarting material would normally be at the stage before yarn - that \nis the f ibre stage. See also Note 7. 3 in relation to textiles. 4. 4 \n\nIf In a rule In the list two or more percentages are given for the \nmaximum value of non-originating materials that can be used, then \nthese percentages may not be added together. The maximum value of \nall the non-origlnatIng materials used may never exceed the highest \nof the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages \nmust not be exceeded in relation to the particular materials they \napply to. Note 5 \n\n5. 1 \n\n5. 2 \n\nThe term \"natural fibres\" is used In the list to refer to fibres \nother than artificial or synthetic fibres and Is restricted to the \nstages before spinning takes place, Including waste, and, unless \notherwise specified, the term \"natural fibres\" Includes fibres that \nhave been carded, combed or otherwise processed but not spun. The term \"natural fibres\" Includes horsehair of heading No. 0503, \nsilk of heading Nos. 5002 and 5003 as well as the wool fibres, fine \nor coarse animal hair of heading Nos. 5101 to 5105, the cotton fibres \nof heading Nos. 5201 to 5203 and the other vegetable fibres of \nheading Nos. 5301 to 5305. 95 \n\n\f- 6 -\n\n5. 3 \n\nThe terms \"textile pulp\", \"chemical materials\" and \"paper-making \nmaterials\" are used In the list to describe the materials not \nclassified in chapters 50 to 63, which can be used to manufacture \nartificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns. 5. 4 \n\nThe term \"man-made staple fibres\" is used in the list to refer to \nsynthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of \nheadings Nos. 5501 to 5507. Note 6 \n\n6. 1 \n\nIn the case of the products classified within those headings in the \nlist to which a reference It made to this Note, the conditions set \nout in column 3 of the list shall not be applied to any basic textile \nmaterials used In their manufacture which, taken together, represents \n10% or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials \nused (but see also Notes 6. 3 and 6. 4 below). 6. 2 \n\nHowever, this tolerance may only be applied to mixed products which \nhave been made from two or more basic textile materials. The following are the basic textile materials: \n\ns i l k, \nwool , \ncoarse animals hair, \nfIne animal hair , \nhorsehair, \ncotton, \npaper-making materials and paper, \nflax, \ntrue hemp, \njute and other textile bast fibres, \nsisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave, \ncoconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres, \nsynthetic man-made filaments, \nartificial man-made staple filaments, \nsynthetic man-made staple fibres, \nartificial man-made staple fibres. For example: \n\nA yarn of heading No. 5205 made from cotton fibres of heading No. 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading No. 5506 Is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-orIglnatIng synthetic staple fibres that do not \nsatisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical \nmaterials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 10% of the \nyarn. 7) \n\n96 \n\n\f_ 7 -\n\nFor example: \n\nA woollen fabric of heading No. 5112 made from woollen yarn of \nheading No. 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading No. 5509 Is a mixed fabric. Therefore synthetic yarn which does not \nsatisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical \nmaterials or textile pulp) or woollen yarn that does not satisfy the \norigin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not \ncarded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination \nof the two may be used up to a weight of 10% of the fabric. For example: \n\nTufted textile fabric of heading No. 5802 made from cotton yarn of \nheading No. 5205 and cotton fabric of heading No. 5210 Is only a \nmixed product If the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric being \nmade from yarns classified in two separate headings or if the cotton \nyarns used are themselves mixtures. For example: \n\nIf the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn \nof heading No. 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading No. 5407, then, \nobviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials \nand the tufted textile fabric Is accordingly a mixed product. For example: \n\nA carpet with tufts made from both artificial yarns and cotton yarns \nand with a Jute backing Is a mixed product because three basic \ntextile materials are used. Thus, any non-originating materials that \nare at a later stage of manufacture than the rule allows may be used, \nprovided their total weight taken together does not exceed 10% of the \nweight of the textiles materials of the carpet. Thus, both the jute \nbacking and/or the artificial yarns could be imported at that stage \nof manufacture, provided the weight conditions are met. 6. 3 \n\n6. 4 \n\nIn the case of fabrics Incorporating 'yarn made of polyurethane \nsegmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not g Imped' \nthis tolerance Is 20% in respect of this yarn. In the case of fabrics incorporating strip consisting of a core of \naluminium foil or of a core of plastic film whether or not coated \nwith aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by \nmeans of an adhesive between two films of plastic film, this \ntolerance Is 30% In respect of this strip. 97 \n\n\f- 8 -\n\nNote 7 \n\n7. 1 \n\n7. 2 \n\n7. 3 \n\nIn the case of those textile products which are marked in the list by \na footnote referring to this note, textile materials, with the \nexception of linings and inter Iinings, which do not satisfy the rule \nset out in the list In column 3 for the made up product concerned may \nbe used provided that they are classified In a heading other than \nthat of the product and that their value does not exceed 8 % of the \nex works price of the product. Any non-textile trimmings and accesorles or other materials used \nwhich contain textiles do not have to satisfy the conditions set out \nin column 3 even though they fall outside the scope of Note 4. 3. In accordance with Note 4. 3, any non-orIglnatIng \nnon-textile \ntrimmings and accessories or other product, which do not contain any \ntextiles, may, anyway, be used freely where they cannot be made from \nthe materials listed In column 3. For example: \n\nIf a rule in the list says that for a particular textile Item, such \nas a blouse, yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of \nmetal Items, such as buttons, because they cannot be made from \ntext ile mater la Is. 7. 4 \n\nWhere a percentage rule applies, the value of trimmings and \naccessories must be taken Into account when calculating the value of \nthe non-orIglnatIng materials Incorporated. 98 \n\n\fANNEX M \n\nLIST OF WORKING OR PROCESSING REQUIRED TO BE CARRIED OUT ON \nNON-ORIGINATING MATERIALS IN ORDER THAT THE PRODUCT \nilANUFACTURED CAN OBTAIN ORIGINATING STATUS \n\n99 \n\n\f- 2-\n\nH. 5.

AMENDMENT TO REGULATION (EEC) No 3975/87 ON PROCEDURE FOR THE \n\nAPPLICATION OF COMPETITION RULES \n\n1. The Commission's powers to enforce the competition rules in the air \n\ntransport sector by means of fact-finding, imposing orders and \n\nsanctions and granting individual exemptions is limited, by Council \nRegulation (EEC) No 3975/87<1>, to international transport between \n\nMember States. The Commission's powers do not extend to either \n\ndomestic transport nor to transport between a Member State and a \n\nthird country. 2. In its Judgment of 11 April 1989 in the \"Ahmed Saeed\" case (1) the \n\nCourt of Justice confirmed its Judgment in the \"Nouvelles \nFronti\u00e8res case\"( 2) as regards the application of Article 85 of \n\nthe Treaty and ruled that Article 86 is directly applicable by \n\nnational courts, even in the absence of an implementing regulation \n\nunder Article 87 or of action by a Member State cartel authority or \n\nby the Commission (under Article 88 or Article 89 respectively). The Court's judgment means that where a dominant airline succeeds, \n\nother than by normal competitive means, in eliminating competition, \n\neven on a domestic or on a Community-third country route, this \n\nbehaviour is an abuse contrary to Article 86. Since there is no \n\nblock exemption for airlines to discuss, let alone agree, fares on \n\nCommunity-third \n\ncountry \n\nroutes, \n\nthe elimination \n\nof \n\nprice \n\ncompetition resulting from such discussions or agreements is liable \n\nto be an abuse of the dominant or joint dominant position which in \n\nmany instances exists on such routes. The Court also ruled that a \n\nMember State is in breach of its Treaty obligations if it approves \n\nfares which infringe Article 85 or Article 86. Such would be the \n\ncase for instance where a uniform agreed price structure has \n\nresulted from consultations which have not been exempted pursuant \n\nto Article 85(3). (1) OJ No L 374, 31. 12. 1987. (2) Judgment of 11 April 1989 in Case 66/86, [1989] ECR \n\n\f- 3 -\n\n3. Since, in respect of both domestic and of EC-third country air \n\ntransport, the Commission has no power to grant exemptions under \n\nArticle 85(3) nor to use normal procedures to rule on abuses of \n\ndominant position under Article 86, there is now a serious \n\nuncertainty in which air carriers can not know what practices and \n\narrangements they may legitimately engage in on such routes. If, \n\neven inadvertently, they act unlawfully, they run the risk of \n\nactions in national courts leading to the payment of compensation. Moreover, Member States face comparable uncertainties when \n\napproving the fares filed by carriers on such routes. In order to \n\nestablish a framework of certainty, the Council should now give the \n\nCommission the necessary powers to clarify how Articles 85 and 86 \n\napply to domestic and to extra-Community air transport. 4. The Commission accordingly proposed(3) that the Council adopt \n\nregulations extending the scope of its powers to enforce the \n\ncompetition rules in respect of domestic and third-country air \n\ntransport. The Council has however not yet acted on that proposal. 5. Since the Council has committed itself, in the framework of the \n\nthird package of air transport liberalisation measures, to lay down \n\nrules on cabotage it will be necessary to adopt at the same time \n\nmeasures enabling the Commission to enforce the competition rules \n\nto transport within a Member State. 6. Therefore the Commission now withdraws its earlier proposal insofar \n\nas it applied to domestic transport, and makes a new proposal \n\n(Annex I) consisting in a regulation to delete the limitation to \n\ninternational transport within the Community, so that domestic \n\ntransport entirely within a single Member State is also covered by \n\nRegulation (EEC) No 3975/87. (Annex I). (3) C0M(417) final, 8. 9. 1989. - 4 -\n\nB. AMENDMENT TO REGULATION (EEC) No 3976/87 ON GROUP EXEMPTIONS \n\n7. The Commission's powers to adopt group exemptions is limited, by \n\nCouncil Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87<4>, to International transport \n\nbetween Member States. For similar reasons to those set forth \n\nabove, these powers should now be extended to domestic transport \n\nentirely within a Member State. 8. As part of the second package of liberalisation measures in the air \n\ntransport sector the Council extended the validity of Regulation \n\n(EEC) No 3976/87 empowering the Commission to adopt for a limited \n\nperiod a number of group exemptions to the competition rules so \n\nthat air carriers could adapt progressively to a more competitive \n\nenvIronment. The Commission on that basis adopted three R\u00e9gul\u00e2tions(5): \n\n- Regulation (EEC) No 82/91 of 26 July 1988 concerning ground \n\nhand Iing services; \n\n- Regulation (EEC) No 83/91 relating to computer reservation \n\nsystems for air transport services; and \n\n- Regulation (EEC) No 84/91 concerning Joint planning and \n\ncoordination of capacity, consultations on tariffs on scheduled \n\nair services and slot allocation at airports. 9. The Commission's general experience with these group exemptions is \n\nthat they satisfy a genuine need for legal certainty among air \n\ncarriers and other market operators, while providing an incentive \n\nto abandon previous more restrictive agreements. 10. In view of the further liberalisation now proposed, the Commission \n\nis of the opinion that the same objectives can be pursued after \n\n31 December \n\n1992. This would \n\nimply that, subject \n\nto the \n\ncircumstances as they appear at the time, in particular the terms \n\n(4) OJ No L 374, 31. 12. 1987. (5) OJ No L 10, 15. 1. 1991. - 5 -\n\nof the third package adopted by the Council, the group exemptions \n\nwill be substantially renewed subject to some tightening of \n\nconditions (as set out below) which is made desirable by progress \n\nattained \n\nin creating a more competitive environment. The \n\npossibilities for cooperation to be left to airlines will depend on \n\nthe extent to which the new regulatory framework creates room for \n\nincreased competition. 11. The Commission intends to make the following changes to the \n\nexisting regulations : \n\n- replacement of the exemption for capacity discussions by an \n\nexemption for binding schedule coordination (the exemption for \n\nnon-binding schedule consultations will be maintained); \n\n- (if appropriate) alignment of the exemption for slot allocation \n\ndiscussions on the results of discussions by the Council on \n\ncommon rules for slot allocation (subject to the need to ensure \n\ncompatibility of the outcome of the discussions with Article \n\n85(3) of the EEC Treaty). The exemptions for computer reservation systems- and ground \n\nhandling agreements can be renewed without significant changes, \n\nexcept for changes necessary to take account of alterations in the \n\narrangements of the computer reservation systems. The exemption \n\nfor tariff consultations, including the obligations to interline, \n\nwill be renewed with some minor changes which will not affect the \n\nsubstance of air carriers' obligations but will clarify the \n\nconditions in practice. The Commission considers it useful to have power to adopt a group \n\nexemption in favour of Joint operations on new routes with \n\nrelatively few passengers for limited periods, in line with the \n\npractice which was developed in individual cases during the past \n\nfew years. - 6 -\n\n12. In order to secure adoption of the new group exemptions by the time \nthe present exemptions expire, on 31 December 1992, the extension \nof Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 in order to enable the Commission to \nadopt these new group exemptions, should be in place by 30 June \n1992. The Commission will then follow the normal procedure provided by \nRegulation (EEC) No 3976/87, i. e. it will invite comments by third \nparties and consult the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices \nand Dominant Positions in Air Transport. 13. The Commission accordingly proposes that the Council adopt a \nregulation modifying Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 in the following \nways (Annex II): \n\n(I) the Regulation would also apply to domestic transport \n\nentirely within a single Member State; \n\n(il) the Regulation is given an indefinite validity; \n\n(ill) the possibility of an exemption for joint operations between \n\nairlines will be provided for; \n\n(iv) the conditions contained in Article 2(2) of the Regulations \nare deleted, as is appropriate in a regulation of indefinite \nduration; and \n\n(v) a standard clause (new Article 3) is included on the duration \nand review of the Commission's implementing regulations. C. CHANGES TO EARLIER PROPOSAL TO ENFORCE THE COMPETITION RULES IN \n\nRESPECT OF DOMESTIC AND THIRD-COUNTRY TRANSPORT \n\n14. In view of the inclusion of domestic air transport in the proposals \nfor a third air transport package, the Commission now limits its \nearlier proposal to enforce the competition rules in respect of \ndomestic and third-country transport, to transport to third \ncountries. As a result, Annex II of the earlier proposal (C0M(89) 417 final, \nOJ No C 248 of 29 September 1989, p. 9) is withdrawn. i\u00a3 \n\u00c8* \n\n|j. , \n\u00a3. %' \nt \n\u00a3-.

I. PROCEEDING \n\nIn a notice published in the Official Journal of the European \nCommunities,1 the Commission announced the opening of an \n\ninvestigation to review anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of \n\nurea originating in Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela by Council \nRegulation (EEC) No 450/892 and Commission Decision \nNO 89/143/EEC. 3 \n\nThe requests for a review were based on Article 14 of Regulation \n\n(EEC) No 2423/88 concerning changes of circumstances. As regards \n\nTrinidad and Tobago, the alleged change of circumstances concerned \n\na fall in production costs and a substantial increase in the price \n\nof exports to the Community, which, it was claimed, had put an end \n\nto dumping. The change of circumstances alleged by Venezuela \n\nconcerned a change in the official exchange rate used by the \n\nCommission in the previous proceeding to establish the dumping \n\nmargin. 1 OJ No C 55, 2. 3. 1991, p. 4. 2 OJ No L 52, 24. 2. 1989, p. 1. 3 OJ No L 52, 24. 2. 1989, p. 37 \n\n\f- 2 -\n\n11 \u2022 \n\nTRINIDAD AND TOBAGO \n\na) \n\nDumping \n\nA transaction-by-transaction comparison of the constructed normal \n\nvalue and export prices to the Community led to the conclusion that \n\ndumping had ceased. b) \n\nInjury \n\nIn the absence of dumping, the Commission did not consider it \n\nworthwhile to review the question of injury. c) \n\nConclusion \n\nGiven the absence of a duming margin and the honesty of the \n\nexporter involved, the Trinidad and Tobago Urea Company Ltd (TTUC), \n\nthe Commission is of the opinion that the anti-dumping measures \n\ncurrently imposed on this country should be abolished. III. VENEZUELA \n\na) \n\nDumping \n\nAs there had been no exports to the Community, the new exchange \n\nrate cited as a change of circmustances had not been applied, and \n\nit was therefore not possible to make a comparison with the new \n\nnormal value established in the course of the investigation. b) \n\nInjury \n\nAs regains the injury, the Venezuelan exporters' arguments that \n\nsince there had been no exports to the Community, the injury to \n\nCommunity producers had been eliminated and that Community \n\nproducers had substantially increased their prices were not \n\nconsidered sufficiently relevant by the Commission. - 3 -\n\nThe Commission considers that the suspension of exports can be \n\ninterpreted neither as an indication of the elimination of the \n\ninjury nor as a change of circumstances justifying a review of the \n\ninjury. The alleged increase in Community producers' prices is held \n\nto be a normal consequence of the imposition of anti-dumping \n\nmeasures. o) \n\nConclusion \n\nGiven the above, the Commission considered that in the absence of \n\nexports to the Community, it was unable to gauge the accuracy of \n\nthe argument put forward by the Venezuelan exporters concerning the \n\nelimination of dumping as a result of the application of the new \n\nexchange rate. Consequently, the Commission felt that the fairest \n\nsolution for the exporters involved, Nitroven and Pequiven, would \n\nbe to abolish the current ad valorem anti-dumping duty of 21. 5%, \n\nreplacing it with a variable duty based on the exporters' new \n\nnormal value, as established during the course of this proceeding. Consequently, the Commission submits a proposal for a Council \n\nRegulation: \n\n- terminating the review of the anti-dumping measures imposed on \n\nimports of urea originating in Trinidad and Tobago and cancelling \n\nthe undertaking imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3339/87 and \n\nconfirmed by Commission Decision No 89/143/EEC of 21 February 1989; \n\n- Imposing a variable definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of \n\nurea originating in Venezuela exported by Nitroven and Pequiven, \n\nand retaining the ad valorem anti-dumping duty on other imports of \n\nurea originating in Venezuela. COUNCIL KBGOLATTCN (EEC) No \n\nOf \n\namending a definitive anti-dumping duty following a partial review \n\nof anti-dumping measures concerning imports of urea originating \n\nin Venezuela and terminating the review of anti-dumping measures \n\nconcerning Imports of urea originating in Trinidad and Tobago \n\nTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES \n\nHaving regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, \n\nHaving regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on \n\nprotection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members \nof the European Economic Ccaranunity,1 and in particular Articles 9, 12 and \n\n14 thereof, \n\nHaving regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted after \n\nconsultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above \n\nRegulation, \n\nWhereas: \n\nA. PROCEDURE \n\n(1) \n\nIn November 1990, pursuant to Article 14 of Council Regulation \n\n(EEC) No 2423/88, the Commission received a request for a review of \n\nthe anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of urea originating in \n\nTrinidad and Tobago and Venezuela by Council Regulation (EEC) \nNo 450/892 and Commission Decision No 89/143/EEC. 3 \n\n1 OJ No L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1. 2 OJ No L 52, 24. 2. 1989, p. 1. 3 OJ No L 52, 24. 2. 1989, p. 37. (2) \n\nWith regard to Trinidad and Tobago, this request was made by the \n\nTrinidad and Tobago Urea Company Ltd, the successor to the National \n\nEnergy Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Ltd, which had offered an \n\nundertaking in connection with the abovementionned Decision which \n\nhad been accepted. The review was requested on the ground of a \n\nchange in circumstances, resulting from the fact that a fall in \n\nproduction costs and a substantial increase in the prices of \n\nexports to the Community had put an end to any dumping. (3) \n\nWith regard to Venezuela, the request made by Venezolana del \n\nNitrogeno CA (Nitroven) and Petroquimica de Venezuela SA (Pequiven) \n\nfor a review of the definitive anti-dumping duty of 21. 5% Imposed \n\nby Council Regulation (EEC) No 450/89 was based on the change in \n\ncircumstances brought about by an adjustment on 14 March 1989 of \n\nthe official rate of exchange which had been used by the Commission \n\nto compare the normal value and the export price in order to \n\ncalculate the dumping margin. According to these companies, the \n\napplication of the new exchange rate would show that there was no \n\ndumping. SUBSEQUENT PROCESSING \n\n(4) \n\nHaving concluded that the requests contained sufficient evidence of \n\na change in circumstances, the Commission announced its decision to \n\nopen an investigation in a Notice of review of anti-dumping \n\nmeasures concerning Imports of urea originating in Trinidad and \n\nTobago or in Venezuela published in the Official Journal of the \nEuropean Communities. 4 \n\n(5) \n\nThe Commission officially notified the producers/exporters directly \n\ninvolved and the representatives of the exporting countries. 4 OJ No C 55, 2. 3. 1991, p. 4. - 3 -\n\n(6) \n\nThe Commission collected and verified all information it deemed \n\nnecessary to enable it to establish the facts and carried out \n\nchecks at the premises of the exporting companies involved, namely: \n\n- Trinidad & Tobago Urea Co Ltd (TTUC), Port of Spain, Trinidad \n\n- Petroqubnica de Venezuela SA (Pequiven), Caracas, Venezuela \n\n- Venezolana del Nitrogeno CA (Nitroven), Caracas, Venezuela \n\n- Palmaven SA, Caracas, Venezuela \n\n(7) \n\nThe investigation of dumping as provided for in Article 7 paragraph \n\n1 point c) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 covered the \n\nperiod from 1 January 1990 to 31 December 1990. C. PRODUCT \n\n(8) \n\nThe product in question is a nitrogen compound whose chemical \n\nformula is 00 (NH2)2. It is produced synthetically from a \nreaction between ammonia and carbonic acid and comprises \n\napproxijnately 45% nitrogen. Urea is sold in prilled form (Trinidad \n\nand Tobago), granular form (Venezuela) or liquid form. It is mainly \n\nused as fertilizer. Urea falls within CN codes 3102 10 10 and 3102 10 99. - 4 -\n\nD. DUMPING REVIEW \n\nI. TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO \n\na) Normal value \n\n(9) \n\nAs TTUC's average urea sales price on its domestic market was lower \n\nthan the production cost during the period of the investigation, \n\nthe constructed normal value was used, in accordance with \n\nArticle 2(3)(b)(ii) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. (10) \n\nThe constructed normal value was calculated by adding a profit \n\nmargin of 7% to the cost of production. This margin was held to be \n\nreasonable, given that in the current economic climate, it \n\nrepresents the minimum necessary to allow urea producers to run \n\ntheir plants under normal operating conditions while producing an \n\nacceptable return on capital employed and securing the investment \n\nfinancing required to continue operating at a profit. b) Export prices \n\n(11) \n\nExport prices were established on the basis of the prices actually \n\npaid or payable for the product sold for export to the Community, \n\nin accordance with Article 2(8) (a) of Regulation (EBC) No 2423/88. c) Comparison \n\n(12) \n\nThe constructed normal value was compared, transaction by \n\ntransaction, with export prices at the ex-factory stage. In accordance with Article 2(10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, \n\nthe Commission made due allowance in the form of adjustments for \n\ndifferences affecting price comparability, such as transport, \n\ninsurance and handling charges, credit terms, commissions and \n\nancillary costs. 5 -\n\nd) Anti-dumping margin \n\n(13) \n\nAn examination of the above facts showed that no dumping was taking \n\nplace. II- VENEZUELA \n\na) Normal value \n\n(14) \n\nAs urea is sold on the domestic Venezuelan market at prices fixed \n\nby government decree that are lower than the cost of production, \n\nthe constructed normal value was used, in accordance with \n\nArticle 2(3)(b)(ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. (15) \n\nThe constructed normal value was calculated by adding a profit \n\nmargin of 7% to the cost of production. This margin was held to be \n\nreasonable, given that in the current economic climate, it \n\nrepresents the minimum necessary to allow urea producers to run \n\ntheir plants under normal operating conditions while producing an \n\nacceptable return on capital employed and securing the investment \n\nfinancing required to continue operating at a profit. k) Export prices \n\n(16) \n\nNo urea originating in Venezuela was exported to the Community \n\nduring the investigation period. c) Comparison \n\n(17) \n\nUnder these circumstances, it was not possible to compare the \n\nnormal value and the export price. - 6 -\n\nE. CONCLUSION \n\nI. TERMINATION OF THE REVIEW AS REGARDS TRINIDAD AND T0BM3O \n\n(18) \n\nGiven that there is no evidence of dumping and in view of the \n\nbehaviour of the exporter involved, which has generally respected \n\nits undertaking and has also substantially increased the prices of \n\nits exports to the Community, the Council is of the opinion that \n\nthe anti-dumping measures currently Ijonposed on this country should \n\nbe lifted. (19) \n\nUnder these circumstances, the Council considers that the review of \n\nthe anti-dumping measures concerning iirports of urea originating in \n\nTrinidad and Tobago should be terminated. (20) \n\nThis conclusion has not met with any objections from the anti \n\ndumping committee. H. AMENDMENT OF THE DEFINITIVE DUTIES AS REGARDS VBJKZUKLA \n\n(21) \n\nAs regards Venezuela, in the absence of any exports to the \n\nCcramunity it is not possible to verify the accuracy of the argument \n\nput forward by the exporters claiming that the application of the \n\nnew official exchange rate has put an end to dumping. Consequently, \n\nthe fairest solution would appear to be to abolish the ad valorem \n\nduty of 21. 5% currently in force, replacing it with a variable duty \n\nbased on the new normal value for the exporters, as established in \n\nthe course of the present procceeding. (22) \n\nAs regards the injury, in their request the exporters argued that \n\nthe injury had been eliminated as a result of the fact that there \n\nhad been no exports to the Community, and that the prices of \n\nOammunity producers had risen steadily since the imposition of the \n\nanti-dumping duty. - 7-\n\nThe Council observes that as a result of the previous anti-dumping \n\nproceeding, the exporters decided to suspend all exports to the \n\nCommunity. The Council is of the opinion that this suspension can \n\nbe interpreted neither as an indication that the injury has been \n\neliminated, nor as a change of circumstances justifying a review of \n\nthe injury. Furthermore, as regards the claim that Community producers have \n\nraised their prices, even should this claim be substantiated, these \n\nprice increases would be a normal consequence of the existence of \n\nanti-dumping measures. Consequently, the Council does not consider the arguments advanced \n\nconcerning injury to be relevant. (23) \n\nHowever, as noted above, the Council considers that a fair response \n\nto the exporters' request would be to take account of the results \n\nof this proceeding and to base the variable anti-dumping duty on \n\nthe exporters' new normal value. This variable anti-dumping duty is established in the form of a \n\nminimum price, free at Community frontier, calculated on the basis \n\nof the cost of producing the urea as established in the course of \n\nthe investigation period, plus a reasonable profit margin plus the \n\nancillary costs incurred up to the Community frontier. On this \n\nbasis, the minimum price free at Community frontier is ECU. per \ntonne. 5 It should be noted that this minimum price is lower than \n\nthe price used as a basis for calculating the ad valorem duty \n\nestablished in the previous proceeding. (24) \n\nThe ad valorem duty of 21. 5% is retained for imports of urea \n\noriginating in Venezuela, with the exception of urea exported by \n\nPequiven and Nitroven. (25) \n\nThese conclusions have not met with any objections from the anti \n\ndumping committee. 5 In accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) \nNo 2423/88 concerning the non-disclosure of business secrets, this \nfigure has been deliberately omitted from the published version of this \nregulation. 8 -\n\n(26) \n\nAll the producers/exporters involved in this proceeding and the \n\nrepresentatives of the Community producers were informed of the \n\nmain facts and considerations on the basis of which it was proposed \n\nto recommend the termination of the review as regards Trinidad and \n\nTobago and the amendment of the definitive measures as regards \n\nVenezuela. They were also granted a period of time in which to make \n\ntheir comments known following notification. The Commission noted \n\ntheir remarks and took due account of them. HAS ADOPTED TEES REGULATION: \n\nArticle 1 \n\n1. The review of anti-dumping measures concerning iinports of urea \n\noriginating in Trinidad and Tobago is hereby terminated. 2. The undertaking made by the National Energy Corporation of Trinidad \n\nand Tobago Ltd, and taken up by the Trinidad and Tobago Urea \n\nCompany Ltd, which had been accepted by Council Regulation (EEC) No \n\n3339/87 and confirmed by Commission Decision No 89/143/EEC, is \n\nhereby cancelled. Article 2 \n\nThe anti-dumping duty of 21. 5% (additional code 8550) imposed by \n\nRegulation (EEC) No 450/89 on imports of urea originating in \n\nVenezuela and falling within CN codes 3102 10 10 and 3102 10 99 \n\nshall be retained for iinports of urea originating in Venezuela, \n\nwith the exception of urea produced and exported to the Community \n\nby Venezolana del Nitrogeno CA (Nitroven) and Petroquimioa de \n\nVenezuela SA (Pequiven) (additional code 8549), for which the \n\nanti-dumping duty shall be the difference between the net price per \n\ntonne free at Community frontier, not cleared through customs, and \n\nthe sum of ECU 110. 5 per tonne. - 9 -\n\nArticle 3 \n\nThe provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply. Article 4 \n\nThis Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of \nits publication in the Official Journal of the European \nCommunities.

The Commission's powers do not extend to either \n\ndomestic transport nor to transport between a Member State and a \n\nthird country. 2. In its Judgment of 11 April 1989 in the \"Ahmed Saeed\" case (1) the \n\nCourt of Justice confirmed its Judgment in the \"Nouvelles \nFronti\u00e8res case\"( 2) as regards the application of Article 85 of \n\nthe Treaty and ruled that Article 86 is directly applicable by \n\nnational courts, even in the absence of an implementing regulation \n\nunder Article 87 or of action by a Member State cartel authority or \n\nby the Commission (under Article 88 or Article 89 respectively). The Court's judgment means that where a dominant airline succeeds, \n\nother than by normal competitive means, in eliminating competition, \n\neven on a domestic or on a Community-third country route, this \n\nbehaviour is an abuse contrary to Article 86. Since there is no \n\nblock exemption for airlines to discuss, let alone agree, fares on \n\nCommunity-third \n\ncountry \n\nroutes, \n\nthe elimination \n\nof \n\nprice \n\ncompetition resulting from such discussions or agreements is liable \n\nto be an abuse of the dominant or joint dominant position which in \n\nmany instances exists on such routes. The Court also ruled that a \n\nMember State is in breach of its Treaty obligations if it approves \n\nfares which infringe Article 85 or Article 86. Such would be the \n\ncase for instance where a uniform agreed price structure has \n\nresulted from consultations which have not been exempted pursuant \n\nto Article 85(3). (1) OJ No L 374, 31. 12. 1987. (2) Judgment of 11 April 1989 in Case 66/86, [1989] ECR \n\n\f- 3 -\n\n3. Since, in respect of both domestic and of EC-third country air \n\ntransport, the Commission has no power to grant exemptions under \n\nArticle 85(3) nor to use normal procedures to rule on abuses of \n\ndominant position under Article 86, there is now a serious \n\nuncertainty in which air carriers can not know what practices and \n\narrangements they may legitimately engage in on such routes. If, \n\neven inadvertently, they act unlawfully, they run the risk of \n\nactions in national courts leading to the payment of compensation. Moreover, Member States face comparable uncertainties when \n\napproving the fares filed by carriers on such routes. In order to \n\nestablish a framework of certainty, the Council should now give the \n\nCommission the necessary powers to clarify how Articles 85 and 86 \n\napply to domestic and to extra-Community air transport. 4. The Commission accordingly proposed(3) that the Council adopt \n\nregulations extending the scope of its powers to enforce the \n\ncompetition rules in respect of domestic and third-country air \n\ntransport. The Council has however not yet acted on that proposal. 5. Since the Council has committed itself, in the framework of the \n\nthird package of air transport liberalisation measures, to lay down \n\nrules on cabotage it will be necessary to adopt at the same time \n\nmeasures enabling the Commission to enforce the competition rules \n\nto transport within a Member State. 6. Therefore the Commission now withdraws its earlier proposal insofar \n\nas it applied to domestic transport, and makes a new proposal \n\n(Annex I) consisting in a regulation to delete the limitation to \n\ninternational transport within the Community, so that domestic \n\ntransport entirely within a single Member State is also covered by \n\nRegulation (EEC) No 3975/87. (Annex I). (3) C0M(417) final, 8. 9. 1989. - 4 -\n\nB. AMENDMENT TO REGULATION (EEC) No 3976/87 ON GROUP EXEMPTIONS \n\n7. The Commission's powers to adopt group exemptions is limited, by \n\nCouncil Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87<4>, to International transport \n\nbetween Member States. For similar reasons to those set forth \n\nabove, these powers should now be extended to domestic transport \n\nentirely within a Member State. 8. As part of the second package of liberalisation measures in the air \n\ntransport sector the Council extended the validity of Regulation \n\n(EEC) No 3976/87 empowering the Commission to adopt for a limited \n\nperiod a number of group exemptions to the competition rules so \n\nthat air carriers could adapt progressively to a more competitive \n\nenvIronment. The Commission on that basis adopted three R\u00e9gul\u00e2tions(5): \n\n- Regulation (EEC) No 82/91 of 26 July 1988 concerning ground \n\nhand Iing services; \n\n- Regulation (EEC) No 83/91 relating to computer reservation \n\nsystems for air transport services; and \n\n- Regulation (EEC) No 84/91 concerning Joint planning and \n\ncoordination of capacity, consultations on tariffs on scheduled \n\nair services and slot allocation at airports. 9. The Commission's general experience with these group exemptions is \n\nthat they satisfy a genuine need for legal certainty among air \n\ncarriers and other market operators, while providing an incentive \n\nto abandon previous more restrictive agreements. 10. In view of the further liberalisation now proposed, the Commission \n\nis of the opinion that the same objectives can be pursued after \n\n31 December \n\n1992. This would \n\nimply that, subject \n\nto the \n\ncircumstances as they appear at the time, in particular the terms \n\n(4) OJ No L 374, 31. 12. 1987. (5) OJ No L 10, 15. 1. 1991. - 5 -\n\nof the third package adopted by the Council, the group exemptions \n\nwill be substantially renewed subject to some tightening of \n\nconditions (as set out below) which is made desirable by progress \n\nattained \n\nin creating a more competitive environment. The \n\npossibilities for cooperation to be left to airlines will depend on \n\nthe extent to which the new regulatory framework creates room for \n\nincreased competition. 11. The Commission intends to make the following changes to the \n\nexisting regulations : \n\n- replacement of the exemption for capacity discussions by an \n\nexemption for binding schedule coordination (the exemption for \n\nnon-binding schedule consultations will be maintained); \n\n- (if appropriate) alignment of the exemption for slot allocation \n\ndiscussions on the results of discussions by the Council on \n\ncommon rules for slot allocation (subject to the need to ensure \n\ncompatibility of the outcome of the discussions with Article \n\n85(3) of the EEC Treaty). The exemptions for computer reservation systems- and ground \n\nhandling agreements can be renewed without significant changes, \n\nexcept for changes necessary to take account of alterations in the \n\narrangements of the computer reservation systems. The exemption \n\nfor tariff consultations, including the obligations to interline, \n\nwill be renewed with some minor changes which will not affect the \n\nsubstance of air carriers' obligations but will clarify the \n\nconditions in practice. The Commission considers it useful to have power to adopt a group \n\nexemption in favour of Joint operations on new routes with \n\nrelatively few passengers for limited periods, in line with the \n\npractice which was developed in individual cases during the past \n\nfew years. - 6 -\n\n12. In order to secure adoption of the new group exemptions by the time \nthe present exemptions expire, on 31 December 1992, the extension \nof Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 in order to enable the Commission to \nadopt these new group exemptions, should be in place by 30 June \n1992. The Commission will then follow the normal procedure provided by \nRegulation (EEC) No 3976/87, i. e. it will invite comments by third \nparties and consult the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices \nand Dominant Positions in Air Transport. 13. The Commission accordingly proposes that the Council adopt a \nregulation modifying Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 in the following \nways (Annex II): \n\n(I) the Regulation would also apply to domestic transport \n\nentirely within a single Member State; \n\n(il) the Regulation is given an indefinite validity; \n\n(ill) the possibility of an exemption for joint operations between \n\nairlines will be provided for; \n\n(iv) the conditions contained in Article 2(2) of the Regulations \nare deleted, as is appropriate in a regulation of indefinite \nduration; and \n\n(v) a standard clause (new Article 3) is included on the duration \nand review of the Commission's implementing regulations. C. CHANGES TO EARLIER PROPOSAL TO ENFORCE THE COMPETITION RULES IN \n\nRESPECT OF DOMESTIC AND THIRD-COUNTRY TRANSPORT \n\n14. In view of the inclusion of domestic air transport in the proposals \nfor a third air transport package, the Commission now limits its \nearlier proposal to enforce the competition rules in respect of \ndomestic and third-country transport, to transport to third \ncountries. As a result, Annex II of the earlier proposal (C0M(89) 417 final, \nOJ No C 248 of 29 September 1989, p. 9) is withdrawn. i\u00a3 \n\u00c8* \n\n|j. , \n\u00a3. %' \nt \n\u00a3-.

INTRODUCTION \n\n1. This Directive, and the Community labelling scheme for domestic \n\nappliances that will flow from it, have a dual purpose: \n\nto encourage energy conservation through a better consumer \n\nunderstanding and \n\nto ensure that measures taken by Member States in this area do \n\nnot hinder trade. 2. The Council of Ministers, at their meeting on 16 September 1986, set \n\nnew energy objectives for the Community in 1995, which included a \n\nfurther improvement in energy efficiency of at least 20%. An evaluation \n\nof the energy policies of the Member States carried out in 1988 \n\nindicated that the Council's 1995 energy efficiency objective was \n\nunlikely to be attained unless stronger policy measures were taken. Energy efficiency efforts, and in particular investment in discrete \n\nenergy efficiency projects, seemed to be decreasing. A recent \n\nevaluation of the Member State's energy policies confirmed the trend \n\nobserved in 1988. If the rate of efficiency improvements remains at its \n\npresent average level then the Community can only expect to improve \n\nenergy efficiency by another 10% over 1988/95. This would be equivalent \n\nto an energy efficiency improvement of under 14% for the period \n\n1985/95, significantly less than the objective established in 1986. While the rate of improvement prior to the 1986 oil price collapse was \n\nclearly better than that thereafter, the fact that at no point in time \n\nin the past have efficiency improvements reached the rate needed to \n\nsatisfy Community energy policy objectives indicates that more \n\nstringent measures must be undertaken. 3. Recent changes in the perception of the security of future oil supplies \n\ngenerated by the Gulf Conflict and the concern for the environment have \n\nplaced energy efficiency high on the political agenda. 4. The complacency exhibited in the area of energy efficiency has meant \n\n- A \n\n-\n\nthat the effect of economic growth on energy consumption has not been \n\nnullified by increasing efficiency, so that energy consumption has \n\nincreased from 645 Mtoe in 1982 to 711 Mtoe in 1989. Energy consumption \n\nin industry has been almost static over the period (mainly due to \n\nindustrial restructuring) while substantial \n\nincreases in energy \n\nconsumption have been recorded in the transport and building sectors. More specifically in the principal area covered by this Directive, \n\ndomestic electrical demand rose from 581 Twh in 1982 to 789 Twh in \n\n1989, an increase of 35%. Thus domestic electricity consumption has \n\nrisen from 8. 1% of total energy consumption in 1982 to 9. 5% in 1989. 5. The combined Energy/Environment Council meeting in Luxembourg on \n\nNovember 1990 set a new target to stabilise Community C 02 emissions \n\nby the year 2000 at 1990 levels. Since energy efficiency represents the \n\nsingle most effective means of reducing C02 emission, the achievement \n\nof the Council's stated objective will require the application of \n\nrobust energy efficiency policies within the Community. 6. In order to assist Member States to pursue an energy efficiency policy \n\nthe Council on 5 June 1989 approved a Community action programme for \n\nimproving the efficiency of electricity use (PACE)*1). Moreover the \n\nCommission on 3 October 1990 proposed a Community energy efficiency \n\nprogramme (SAVE)*2) beginning in 1991 and having a duration of five \n\nyears. The main thrust of this programme is a comprehensive series of \n\nlegislative actions supported by targetted pilot actions as well as a \n\nsignificant effort to improve information flows between Member States \n\nand between the Community and other interested parties. This proposal \n\nforms part of the SAVE programme. 7. The current Directive addresses the problem of how specific energy \n\nefficiency of household appliances may be improved, through better \n\nconsumer \n\ninformation, and hence \n\nincreased competition between \n\nmanufacturers. The principal effect will be on electricity consumption, \n\nbut appliances using other forms of energy, such as gas, will also be \n\nincluded. In view of this, the Commission considers the introduction of \n\nimplementing directives for the appliances listed in the Directive as a \n\nmatter of urgency. (1) \n(2) \n\n0J No L 157, 9. 6. 1989, p. 32. C0M(90) 365 final. - 5 -\n\nII. HISTORY OF ENERGY LABELLING IN THE COMMUNITY \n\n8. In 1979 the Council passed Directive 79/530/EEC*3> intended to \n\nintroduce a Community wide scheme for energy labelling of household \n\nappliances. This allowed, but did not oblige, Member States to \n\nintroduce obligatory energy labels. At the same time the Council passed \n\nan implementing directive concerning ovens (Directive 79/531/EEC( 4 )). The Commission brought forward proposals for a number of other \n\nappliances. However, mainly as a result of disagreement over technical \n\nmeasurement standards, and margins of error, none of these proposals \n\nwas accepted by the Council. This meant that interest in the scheme, \n\nand so its impact, was low. However, following this, a number of Member \n\nStates took their own initiative. Germany, in particular, introduced a \n\nvoluntary scheme concerning the main domestic appliances. This \n\nintroduced labels, initially based on those in the Commission \n\nproposals, and product information. More recently, interest has \n\nrevived, and several Member States including the Netherlands, Denmark \n\nand the UK have been working on their own schemes. In the case of \n\nDenmark this led to a formal proposal for an obligatory scheme. This \n\nwas notified to the Commission on 22 April 1990 under Directive \n\n83/189/EE*5), which provides for \n\nMember States to inform the \n\nCommission of new technical standards and regulations and allows for \n\ntheir deferral, where their introduction would create barriers to the \n\nfree movement of goods. The Commission then decided that such a scheme \n\nwas likely to hinder trade between Member States. Accordingly, under \n\nArticle 9(2) of that Directive, it asked Denmark to defer its proposal \n\nfor a year and announced its intention to propose a harmonized scheme \n\nwithin that time limit. Since the failure to agree on further \n\nimplementing directives, further work has been done on measurement \n\nstandards and methods, and there is general acceptance of a method of \n\ndealing with margins of error. Moreover, Member States experience with \n\ntheir own schemes has led to the resolution of many of these technical \n\nproblems. This should allow previous technical problems to be overcome.

The purpose of this scheme is to inform potential purchasers of the \n\nenergy consumption of the various appliances on offer, so they can take \n\naccount of this, and of the resultant running costs, in making their \n\npurchase decisions. Various surveys have shown that the energy \n\nconsumption of domestic appliances varies widely, and that, at current \n\nlevels of efficiency, there is no particular relationship between \n\nenergy efficiency and price or performance. Thus, if potential \n\npurchasers were aware of and understood their differences, they would \n\ntend to buy appliances which were more energy efficient, cost less to \n\nrun, and caused less environmental concern. This would, through the \n\nnormal competitive process, put considerable pressure on manufacturers \n\nto increase their efforts to produce more efficient appliances. However, at present, while some customers do receive this information, \n\nmost do not. As a result most purchasers show no preference for energy \n\nefficient appliances, and in most Member States the market fails to \n\nencourage the manufacture of such appliances. 10. The scheme may also make users of these appliances more aware of how \n\nenergy consumption depends on the way they use the appliance. This may, \n\nindirectly encourage them to use these appliances more efficiently. 11. It is difficult to assess the likely impact of a labelling and \n\ninformation scheme on the energy efficiency of appliances. However, \n\ntechnical estimates indicate that, even though the average energy \n\nconsumption of appliances has fallen substantially over the last \n\ndecade, there are still very large potential savings of perhaps a \n\nquarter of 208 Twh(6X7) 0f electricity consumed by appliances listed \nin this directive. Clearly this potential saving will not be achieved \n\nby labelling and information alone. Experience in for example the U. S. would indicate that labelling and information schemes work best to \n\nachieve these savings when combined with other measures, such as \n\nminimum efficiency standards (either voluntary or compulsory) or fiscal \n\nmeasures. (6) \n\n(7) \n\nEstimate desired from Fitchner 'The potential for energy saving in the \napplication of electrical energy'. Some of the appliances may also use other forms of energy such as \ngas or hot water, but the majority of energy use is electric. IV. COSTS AND BENEFITS OF AN ENERGY LABELLING SCHEME \n\n- 7 -\n\n12. As stated above it is difficult to give estimates of the benefit of the \n\nintroduction of a universal energy labelling scheme, or indeed given \n\nthe flexibility of this scheme, to estimate its costs. However it is \n\nvery clear that the benefits far outweigh the costs. For example for a \n\nrefrigerator, the average energy saving to the consumer over an \n\nappliance lifetime, resulting from the introduction of labelling may be \n\nof the order of ECU 25-50, while the cost of the labelling scheme, per \n\nappliance will be less than ECU 1. While the figure for other \n\nappliances may of course vary considerably, it is still clear that the \n\nbenefits will be one or two orders of magnitude greater than the costs. 8 -\n\nV. CRITERIA FOR THE PROPOSED DIRECTIVE \n\n13. The object of this scheme is to persuade consumers to buy and \n\nmanufacturers to produce more energy efficient appliances. It may also, \n\nindirectly encourage their more efficient use. In order to maximize its \n\nimpact there are a number of basic criteria it should fulfil: \n\n(i) The scheme must be uniform. If there are a variety of differing \n\ndesigns of labels, or of product information fiches, for the same \n\ntype of appliance, consumers may be confused when comparing rival \n\nappliances, and so may ignore the energy consumption information \n\naltogether. (ii) The scheme must be universal, all appliances of a given type must \n\nbe labelled. Otherwise there is a danger that consumers may \n\nprefer not to be reminded of the cost of running an appliance, \n\nand so may prefer a less efficient, but unlabel led, appliance to \n\na more efficient one, displayed with a label. (iii) The label and the fiche must be as clear as possible, while \n\nconveying as much relevant information as possible. (iv) The scheme should include both a label, for those who buy 'on \n\nimpulse' and a product fiche for those who are willing to devote \n\nmore time to studying the relative merits of various possible \n\nappliances. (v) The scheme should be flexible. In particular it should allow for \n\nupdating in the tight of improved efficiency of appliances, for \n\nthe introduction of minimum efficiency standards (either \n\nvoluntary or mandatory) and for the introduction of further \n\nappliances. (vi) The scheme should be as simple to run as possible, and lead to \n\nthe minimum possible costs. (vii) Finally the scheme should eliminate any barriers to trade between \n\nMember States in respect of energy labelling and product \n\ninformation and should seek to foster the single market. - 9 -\n\nVI. COMMENTS ON ARTICLES OF THE PROPOSED DIRECTIVE \n\nComments on Article 1 \n\nThis describes the objectives of the directive. As stated above these are to \n\navoid the obstacles to the single market that would result from the imposition \n\nof labelling schemes by individual Member States. It seeks to do this by the \n\nintroduction of a uniform Community scheme that achieves the benefits sought \n\nfrom the national schemes, and, as far as possible, meets the above criteria. The Article also lists those appliances whose Community wide use consumes the \n\nmost energy, and makes provision for addition to this list. This may prove \n\nnecessary either as the result of the introduction of new appliances, or \n\nbecause the global energy use of an existing appliance increases, e. g. as a \n\nresult of increasing ownership. Comments on Article 2 \n\nThis provides for harmonized measurement standards and methods, so that each \n\nmodel needs only follow one test procedure. It puts responsibility for this \n\ntesting and its accuracy on the manufacturer, or its representative, who will \n\nbe best placed to carry it out. It also provides for the keeping of technical documentation, within the \n\nCommunity, so that should there be a dispute as to the accuracy of a label or a \n\nfiche, then the basis on which the manufacturer made its claims can be more \n\neasiI y assessed. Comments on Article 3 \n\nThis requires the manufacturer to provide both a label and a fiche of product \n\ninformation. The label is intended for those who wish to buy the appliance \n\nimmediately. The fiche provides rather more complete information on the main \n\ncharacteristics including the energy efficiency of appliances (e. g. the energy \n\nconsumption of the various cycles). This information is provided in a standard \n\n\f- 10 -\n\nform that allows those potential purchasers, who wish to study the comparative \n\nmerits of various competing models to have more complete information available \n\nin a standard form to take away and compare at leisure. It also provides a \n\nsource of this information for others (Member States, consumer organizations, \n\ndealers etc. ) who want to provide comparative tables. It may also be used to \n\ninclude information as to the environmental consequences of using the \n\nappliance, and on how to use the appliance appropriately. Comments on Article 4 \n\nThis deals with the respective responsibilities of dealers (mainly retailers) \n\nand manufacturers. It should be noted that only a very small proportion of \n\nappliances are displayed in shops or elsewhere, the vast majority being \n\nsupplied direct to customers, probably still in their protective packing. Under \n\nthe existing Directive (79/530/EEC) manufacturers are obliged to supply a \n\ncomplete set of labels with each appliance. This leads to a large waste of \n\nlabels as only a small proportion are used. Moreover in the single market \n\nmanufacturers do not know where an appliance will finally be sold, and so which \n\nlanguage label to supply. In view of this the present Directive provides for dealers to attach the label, \n\nensuring it is in the correct language, and implying that it needs only be \n\nsupplied in numbers sufficient for those appliances that are actually \n\ndisplayed. Manufacturers are allowed to work out their own system for the \n\nsupply of labels in the most cost effective way possible. However, as dealers \n\nwill not be able to display, and so effectively to sell, appliances if they do \n\nnot have labels the Article provides for a rapid back up system in case the \n\nmanufacturers' system fails, for example in the case of parallel trade, to \n\nsupply the relevant label. The Article also deals with the legal responsabiIity for incorrect labels or \n\ninformation fiches. It provides that were a manufacturer provided incorrect \n\ninformation, or otherwise failed to fulfil its obligations then the ultimate \n\nresponsibility lies with it. However, as it will be difficult to directly \n\npursue manufacturers, the Directive provides for retailers to have Joint legal \n\nresponsibility, but provides for them to be indemnified by manufacturers. - 11 -\n\nComments on Article S \n\nThis allows for the implementing directives to make provision for the supply of \n\nenergy consumption information in those cases where potential purchasers will \n\nnot see an item displayed, so helping them to make a rational choice of \n\nappliance. At present this would mainly apply to mail order, and 'catalogue \n\nshops'. The Article is only permissive, as it would not, given present \n\nexperience, be possible to make provision for all such selling techniques, \n\nincluding any yet to be developed, nor would it make administrative sense to \n\nprovide for techniques that only account for a low level of sales. Comments on Article 6 \n\nThis applies where other Community legislation provides for other information \n\nabout the same appliances, in particular for information on airborne noise, \n\nwhich was to be included on the label provided for under the previous energy \n\nlabelling Directive (79/530). This will allow for the amalgamation of labels or \n\ninformation fiches where this seems appropriate. Comments on Article 7 \n\nThis specifies the role to be played by Member States in the implementation of \n\nthis scheme. Apart from ensuring the proper running of the scheme in indent (a) \n\nand (b), it obliges them (indent c) to prohibit rival labelling schemes if \n\nthese could lead to confusion. Indent (d) provides that dealers must be able to \n\ntake direct legal action to force manufacturers to fulfil their duties. This \n\nallows for a large degree of self policing. Similarly, indent (e) provides that \n\nconsumers can take action against retailers, who will normally be much closer, \n\nand so easier to deal with. It should be noted that the measures specified in \n\nthis Article need not be statutory. Thus those Member States with working \n\nvoluntary \n\nenergy \n\nlabelling \n\nand \n\ninformation \n\nschemes, \n\ncould \n\nenforce \n\nmanufacturers' obligations by contract. - 12 -\n\nComments on Article 8 \n\nThis provides Member States to monitor compliance with this Directive and the \n\nimplementing directives. They may subcontract their duties under this Directive \n\nto delegated bodies. Comments on Article 9 \n\nThis is a single market provision, which prohibits Member States from banning \n\nthe marketing of appliances on grounds relating to energy consumption \n\ninformation, where they comply with the Directive, and with the relevant \n\nimplementing directive. It does not effect any rights in relation to appliances \n\nnot covered by an implementing directive, nor does it affect any rights \n\nrelating to other grounds, in particular in relation to minimum efficiency \n\nstandards. Comments on Article 10 \n\nThis provides for the Commission, assisted by a committee, to take the \n\nimplementing directives and to add further appliances to the list in Article 1. Comments on Article 11 \n\nIn accordance with the Commissions's declaration annexed to the Single European \n\nAct, this provides for a consultative committee, which allows for the rapid and \n\nefficient decision making required for harmonization measures taken under \n\nArticle 100a. The consultative committee is set up in accordance with \n\nArticle 2, procedure 1 of Council Decision 87/373/EEC^8^, which deals with the \n\nform and procedure of such committees. This Article also provides for the \n\nconsultative committee to receive information and analysis on the operation of \n\nthe scheme. Comments on Article 12 \n\nThis Article lists the elements to be specified in the implementing directives. (8) \n\n0J No L 197, 18. 7. 1987, p. 33. - 13 -\n\nComments on Article 13 \n\nThis provides for the existing framework Directive (79/530) to be repealed. This is delayed until after Member States have implemented the present \n\nDirective, as otherwise there is a danger that measures that had been taken to \n\nimplement it could loose their legal force before they had been replaced. Comments pp Article 14 \n\nThis deals with the timetable for the introduction of this Directive. - 14 -\n\nProposal for a \n\nCOUNCIL DIRECTIVE \n\non the indication by labelling and standard product information \n\nof the consumption of energy and other resources \n\nof househoId app11ances \n\nTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, \n\nHaving regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in \n\nparticular Article 100a thereof, \n\nHaving regard to the proposal from the Commission^1), \n\nIn cooperation with the European Parliaments2^, \n\nHaving regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee^3), \n\nWhereas it is important to take measures to progressively achieve the internal \n\nmarket by 31 December 1992; \n\nWhereas certain Member States already have their own voluntary schemes for \n\nenergy labelling and the provision of other energy consumption information for \n\ndomestic appliances; whereas one Member State has formally proposed to \n\nintroduce its own compulsory labelling scheme, and other Member States are \n\nconsidering its introduction; whereas the existence of a number of compulsory \n\nnational schemes would create barriers to intra-Community trade; \n\n(1) \n(2) \n(3) \n\nOJ No \nOJ No \nOJ No \n\n\f- 15 -\n\nWhereas Article 130r of the Treaty requires a prudent and rational utilization \n\nof natural resources, whereas the rational use of energy is one of the \n\nprincipal means by which this objective can be respected and environmental \n\npoI lut ion reduced; \n\nWhereas the provision of accurate, relevant and comparable information on the \n\nspecific energy consumption of household appliances may influence the public's \n\nchoice in favour of those appliances which consume less energy, thus prompting \n\nmanufacturers to take steps to reduce the consumption of the appliances which \n\nthey manufacture; whereas it will also, indirectly, encourage the efficient use \n\nof these appliances; whereas in the absence of this information, the operation \n\nof the market for these appliances will fail to promote adequately the rational \n\nuse of energy; \n\nWhereas this improvement in the operation of the market for these appliances \n\nwill be best achieved if there is a uniform label for all appliances of each \n\ntype, if potential customers receive supplementary standardized information \n\nrelating to these appliances, and if those who do not see the appliance \n\ndisplayed, and so have no opportunity to see the label, are also supplied with \n\nthis information; \n\nWhereas to this end the energy consumption of and other information concerning \n\neach type of appliance concerned must be measured in accordance with harmonized \n\nstandards and methods and it must be possible to check the application of these \n\nstandards at the marketing stage; \n\nWhereas Council Directive 79/530/EEC<4> ought to promote these aims for \n\nhousehold appliances; whereas however, as only one implementing Directive for \n\nelectric ovens has been passed, and as few Member States have introduced this \n\nlabel, it is now necessary to learn from the experience gained and strengthen \n\nthe provision of that Directive; whereas Directive 79/530/EEC must therefore be \n\nreplaced; whereas Council Directive 79/531/EEC(5) regarding energy labelling \n\nfor ovens, will need to be revised and subsequently integrated into the present \n\nscheme; \n\n(4) \n(5) \n\nOJ No L 145, 13. 6. 1979, p. 1. OJ No L 145, 13. 6. 1979, p. 7. - 16 -\n\nWhereas completely voluntary schemes would lead to only some apr' cnces being \n\nlabelled, or supplied with standard product information; wh. re:s there is a \n\ndanger that this would induce confusion for some consumers; whereas the present \n\nscheme must therefore ensure universal energy labelling and universal provision \n\nof the standard product information fiches of the relevant appliances; \n\nWhereas household appliances use a wide variety of forms of energy, with \n\nelectricity and gas being the most important; whereas the Directive must \n\ntherefore in principle cover appliances using any form of energy; \n\nWhereas Council Directive 86/594/EEC of 1 December 1986<6) on airborne noise \n\nemitted by household appliances, provides for an indication of noise emission \n\nto be included in energy labels, where these exist; whereas provision must \n\ntherefore be made for the incorporation, where appropriate, of other \n\ninformation and labelling covered by Community schemes-, \n\nWhereas only those types of appliances whose aggregate energy use is \n\nsignificant and where there is significant scope for increased efficiency need \n\nbe included, \n\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: \n\nArticle 1 \n\n1. The purpose of this Directive is the harmonization of national \n\nregulations on the publication, particularly by means of labelling and \n\nof product information, of information on energy consumption and \n\ninformation supplementary \n\nthereto for the following household \n\nappliances, even when these are sold for non-household uses: \n\n- refrigerators, freezers and their combinations \n\n- washing machines, driers and their combinations \n\n- dishwashers \n\n- ovens \n\n- water heaters \n\n- lighting appliances \n\n(6) \n\nOJ No L 344, 6. 12. 1986, p. 24. - 17 -\n\nFurther household appliances may be added to the list in accordance \n\nwith Article 10(b). 2. This Directive shall not apply to the rating plate or its equivalent \n\naffixed for safety purposes to such appliances. 3. For the purpose of this Directive \"dealer\" shall mean a retailer or \n\nother person who sells or displays household appliances to end users. Article 2 \n\n1. The information relating to the consumption of energy, other essential \n\nresources and supplementary information of household appliances shall \n\nbe drawn up on a comparative basis for the consumer's benefit in \n\naccordance with standards and methods laid down by Directives relating \n\nto each type of appliance adopted in implementation of this Directive. 2. This information and the details of the attachment of the label shall \n\nbe defined by directives relating to each type of appliance adopted in \n\nimplementation of this Directive. 3. The manufacturer shall establish the technical documentation described \n\nin paragraph (4) and it, or its authorized representative established \n\nin the Community, shall keep this documentation at the disposal of the \n\nnational authorities for inspection purposes for a period of not less \n\nthan 10 years after the last product has been manufactured. Where neither the manufacturer nor its authorized representative is \n\nestablished in the Community, the obligation to keep the technical \n\ndocumentation available shall be the responsibility of the person who \n\nplaces the product on the Community market. 4. Technical documentation shall enable the accuracy of the label and the \n\nproduct information fiche to be assessed. It shall include: \n\n\f- 18 -\n\na general description of the product, \n\nthe results of design calculations carried out, where these are \n\nrelevant, \n\ntest reports, \n\nwhere values are derived from those obtained for similar models, \n\nthe same information for these models. Artlcio 3 \n\n1. All manufacturers or their representatives established within the \n\nCommunity \n\nplacing \n\nthe household \n\nappliances \n\nspecified \n\nin the \n\nimplementing directives on the market shall supply a label in \n\naccordance with this Directive. 2. In addition to the labels, manufacturers or their authorized \n\nrepresentatives established in the Community shall provide a fiche of \n\nproduct \n\ninformation. This fiche shall be contained \n\nin product \n\nbrochures, or other literature where these are provided by the \n\nmanufacturer, or its representative established in the Community, with \n\nthe appllance. 3. Retailers, or other interested parties, may use the information \n\ncontained in labels and in the product information fiche to provide \n\ncomparative tables giving the relative performance of various models. Article. 4 \n\nIn respect of labelling and product information the following provisions shall \n\napply: \n\n(a) \n\nWhenever an appliance specified in an implementing directive is \n\ndisplayed, dealers shall attach an appropriate label, in the position \n\nspecified in the relevant implementing directive, and in the relevant \n\n\f- 19 -\n\nlanguage version. They shall be responsible to their customers and to \n\nthe public authorities for the accuracy of the label and the product \n\ninformation fiche. However, the relevant manufacturer, and where \n\napplicable its authorized representative, shall indemnify dealers if \n\nthe former supply incorrect labels or product information fiches, or \n\notherwise fail to fulfil the requirements of this Directive, or of an \n\nimplementing directive. (b) \n\nThe manufacturer or its authorized representative shall supply free of \n\ncharge to dealers specified in (a), the necessary labels. They shall \n\nalso provide information as to where the label is to be attached, in \n\naccordance with this Directive and the relevant implementing directive. Manufacturers or their representatives established in the Community are \n\nfree to choose their own system for delivery of labels. However, they \n\nmust also provide, with each appliance, an address and telex or fax \n\nnumber to which a dealer can send a request for labels. They must then \n\ntake all necessary steps to ensure that the necessary labels are \n\ndelivered within 5 working days of their receipt of the request. They \n\nshall be primarily responsable for ensuring that the labels and product \n\ninformation they supply complies in all respects with the requirements \n\nof this Directive, and of the relevant implementing directive. A r t K le 5 \n\nWhere the relevant appliances are offered for sale by mail order, by catalogue, \n\nor by other means which imply that the potential customer cannot be expected to \n\nsee the appliance displayed, the implementing directives may make provision to \n\ninsure that the potential customer is provided with the information specified \n\nin the label, or the product information fiche. Article 6 \n\nThe implementing directives shall require that the label and the fiche contain \n\ninformation on airborne noise, where such information is produced pursuant to \n\nDirective 86/594. It may also require that other public information relating to \n\nthe relevant appliance, which is produced pursuant to other Community \n\nlegislation, shall be incorporated on the label, or in the fiche. - 20 -\n\nArticle 7 \n\nEvery Member State shall take all necessary measures to ensure: \n\na) \n\nthat all manufacturers, their representatives and dealers \n\nestablished in their territory fulfil their obligations under \n\nthis Direct ive; \n\nb) \n\nthat any label relating to energy consumption which is displayed \n\nwithin its territory to potential purchasers and which is \n\nattached to an appliance, in relation to which an implementing \n\ndirective is in force, complies in all respects with the \n\nrequirements of this Directive and of the relevant implementing \n\ndirect ives-, \n\nc) \n\nthat the display in a similar manner of labels, marks, symbols or \n\ninscriptions relating to energy consumption which do not comply \n\nwith the requirements of this Directive and of the relevant \n\nimplementing directives is prohibited, if this is likely to \n\nmislead or confuse; \n\nd) that, where manufacturers or their representatives fail to fulfil \n\ntheir obligation under this Directive, or an implementing \n\ndirective, that dealers are able to take appropriate legal action \n\nto enforce compliance, and to recover damages; \n\ne) \n\nthat, where dealers fail to fulfil their obligations under this \n\nDirective, that actual or potential customers, or other \n\ninterested parties, are able to take appropriate legal action to \n\nenforce compliance and to recover damages. Article 8 \n\nCompliance with the national provisions bringing into force this \n\nDirective, and the implementing directives, shall be verified, by \n\nMember States, after the appliance has been placed on the market. Member States shall supply the Commission with any appropriate \n\ninformation and statistics on the operation of the system. - 21 -\n\nArticle 9 \n\n1. No Member State may either prohibit or restrict the placing on the \n\nmarket of the household appliances covered by an implementing directive \n\non grounds relating to the indication by labelling of their energy \n\nconsumption or other information compulsorily included on the label, \n\nwhere the provisions of this Directive and of the implementing \n\ndirectives are satisfied. 2. Without prejudice to the outcome of any checks carried out by Member \n\nStates once such appliances are displayed to potential purchasers, \n\nMember States shall deem the attaching of the relevant label to and the \n\nprovision of the relevant fiche for the household appliances covered by \n\nan implementing directive and which have been placed on the market, or \n\ndisplayed, to comply with the provisions of this Directive and the \n\nimplementing directives in respect of labelling, and of the product \n\ninformation fiche. Article 10 \n\nThe main measures relating to the establishment and operation of the scheme \n\nshall be adopted and adapted to technical progress in accordance with the \n\nprocedure laid down in Article 11. These measures include: \n\na) \n\nthe implementing directives; \n\nb) \n\nthe addition of further household appliances to the list in \n\nArticle 1(1) where significant energy savings are likely to be \n\nachieved. - 22 -\n\nArticle 11 \n\nA consultative committee composed of the representatives of the Member States \n\nand chaired by the representative of the Commission is hereby set up to assist \n\nthe Commission in taking the measures referred to in this Directive and, in \n\nparticular, in Article 10. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the committee a draft of \n\nthe measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft \n\nwithin a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of \n\nthe matter, if necessary by taking a vote. The opinion shall be recorded in the minutes; in addition, each Member State \n\nshall have the right to ask to have its position recorded in the minutes. The Commission shall take the utmost account of the opinion delivered by the \n\ncommittee. It shall inform the committee of the manner in which its opinion has \n\nbeen taken into account. Article 12 \n\nThe implementing directives shall specify: \n\na) \n\nthe exact definition of the type of appliances to be included; \n\nb) \n\nthe measurement standards and methods to be used in obtaining the \n\ninformation referred to in Article 2(2); \n\nc) \n\nthe design and content of the label specified in Article 3(1); \n\nd) \n\nthe location in which the label shall be fixed to the appliance. Where appropriate it may also make provisions for a label to be \n\nattached to or printed on the packaging; \n\ne) \n\nthe content of the fiche of further information specified in \n\nArticle 3(2). They may also specify its format, and other details \n\nas to how it shall be provided; \n\n\f- 23 -\n\nf) \n\nthey may specify the information to be provided in the case of \n\noffers for sale covered by Article 5, and the manner in which it \n\nis to be provided. Article 13 \n\nDirective 79/530/EEC is hereby repealed, with effect from the moment when all \n\nMember States bring into force the provisions necessary to comply with this \n\nDirect ive. Directive 79/531/EEC shall be considered as implementing this Directive for \n\nelectric ovens; however, Member States may refrain from its compulsory \n\nimplementation, until a date set in a revised implementing directive adopted \n\npursuant to Article 10. Article 14 \n\n1. Member States shall adopt the provisions necessary to comply with this \n\nDirective by 1 July 1992 and shall bring them into force by 1 January \n\n1993. They shall immediately notify the Commission of their adoption. When Member States adopt these provisions, these shall contain a \n\nreference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference \n\nat the time of their official publication. The procedure for such \n\nreference shall be adopted by Member States. 2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission any measures which \n\nthey take in the field covered by this Directive.

The Commission has decided, in accordance with Article 149, paragraph 3 of the EEC \n\nTreaty, to amend its proposals in order to incorporate into the text 17 out of the \n\n28 amendements adopted by the Parliament. The primary aims of the amendments accepted by the Commission are : \n\n- to avoid the distortion of competition between manufacturers \n\n- to maintain the principle of a free choice of therapies \n\n- to assimilate anthroposophic medicines as homeopathic medicines when described \n\nin an off I cal pharmacopoeia \n\n- to introduce appropriate references to homeopathic and anthroposophic \n\nprinciples. - 3 -\n\nBy contrast, the Commission rejected other amendments for three principal reasons. Certain of the amendments go far beyond the limits of those proposals which deal \n\nwith the free movement of medicines, for example; training for and engaging in \n\nprofessional practice, and the way in which the cost of medicines to the patient \n\nis met by public funding. Some amendments show excessive partiality towards particular medical traditions, \n\nbearing in mind that the Commission must remain neutral in the debate between \n\n\"conventional\" and \"alternative\" medicine. Other amendments would widen excessively the scope of the simplified registration \n\nprocedure (Article 7 ), to the extent that a full marketing authorization \n\n(Article 9) would become an exception to the normal rule. It is worth recalling that since 1965 throughout the Community the normal basis \n\nfor a marketing authorization has been three standard criteria (quality, safety \n\nand efficacy) leading the competent authorities to undertake an evaluation of the \n\nrisks and benefits expected of the medicament in question. 4 -\n\nHowever, the simplified registration procedure, in the form proposed by the \n\nCommission, constitutes rather an administr\u00e2tive notification, adequate for \n\nhomeopathic medicines which do not present any known risk by virtue of their \n\nmethod of administration (oral) and the low concentration of their active \n\nconstituents, which is fixed at less than one part per million. Manufacturing \n\nquality can be verified from the dossier supplied. The other routes of administration described by the pharmacopoeias, especially \n\ninjectibles, or stronger concentrations of active constituents, can, in certain \n\ncases, expose patients to potential risks and necessitate because of this a more \n\ncomprehensive authorization procedure based upon an evaluation of the risks and \n\nbenefits by the competent authorities in accordance with the provisions of \n\nArticle 9. - 5 -\n\nAmendment to the proposal for a \n\nCOUNCIL DIRECTIVE \n\nwidening the scope of Directives 65/65/EEC and 75/319/EEC on the \n\napproximation of the laws of the Member States on medicinal \n\nproducts and laying down additional provisions on \n\nSYN 251 \n\nhomeopathic medicinal products \n\n(Presented by the Commission in accordance with article 149, \n\nparagraph 3 of EEC Treaty) \n\nOriginal proposal \n\nAmended proposal \n\nTitles and visas unchanged \n\nFirst recital \n\nWhereas differences currently existing \n\nWhereas differences currently existing \n\nbetween the provisions laid down by \n\nbetween the provisions laid down by \n\nlaw, regulation or administrative \n\nlaw, regulation or administrative \n\naction in the Member States may hinder \n\naction in the Member States may hinder \n\ntrade in homeopathic medicinal \n\ntrade in homeopathic medicinal \n\nproducts within the Community; \n\nproducts within the Community and thus \n\nlead to discrimination and distorsion \n\nof competition between manufacturers of \n\nthese products; \n\n2nd recital unchanged \n\nRecital 2a (new) \n\nWhereas freedom of choice with regard \n\nto therapy needs to be safeguarded; \n\nwhereas, despite considerable dif \n\nferences in the status of alternative \n\nmedicines in the various Member States, \n\npatients should be guaranteed free \n\naccess to the therapy of their choice, \n\nprovided all precautions are taken to \n\nensure the quality and safety of \n\nproducts; \n\n3rd recital unchanged \n\n\fOriginal proposal \n\nAmended proposa \n\n- 6 -\n\nFourth recital \n\nWhereas homeopathic medicine is \n\nWhereas homeopathic medicine is \n\nofficially recognized in certain \n\nofficially recognized in certain \n\nMember States but is only tolerated \n\nMember States but is only tolerated \n\nin other Member States; whereas, \n\nin other Member States; \n\ntherefore, it is appropriate to \n\nrecognize certain national homeopathic \n\ntraditions without imposing them \n\nthroughout the Community; \n\n5th, 6th and 7th recitals unchanged \n\nEighth recital \n\nWhereas, having regard to the \n\nWhereas, having regard to the \n\nparticular characteristics of these \n\nparticular characteristics of these \n\nmedicinal products, such as their \n\nmedicinal products, such as their ' \n\nvery low content of active principles \n\nvery low content of active principles \n\nand the difficulty of applying to them \n\nand the difficulty of applying to them \n\nthe conventional statistical methods \n\nthe conventional statistical methods \n\nrelating to clinical trials, it is \n\nrelating to clinical trials, it is \n\nappropriate to provide a simplified \n\nappropriate to provide a simplified \n\nregistration system for those \n\nregistration system for those \n\ntraditional homeopathic medicinal \n\ntraditional homeopathic medicinal \n\nproducts which are placed on the market \n\nproducts which are placed on the market \n\nwithout specific therapeutic \n\nwithout specific therapeutic \n\nindications in a preparation which \n\nindications in a preparation and dosage \n\ndoes not present a risk for the patient; \n\nwhich does not present a risk for the \n\npatient; \n\n9th recital unchanged \n\n\f- 7 -\n\nOriginal proposal \n\nAmended proposal \n\nArt \n\nicle 1 \n\nFor the purposes of this Directive \n\nFor the purposes of this Directive \n\n\"homeopathic medicinal product\" shall \n\n\"homeopathic medicinal product\" shall \n\nmean any medicinal product prepared in \n\nmean any pharmaceutical preparation \n\naccordance with a homeopathic manufac \n\nprepared in accordance with a \n\nturing procedure described by the \n\nhomeopathic manufacturing procedure \n\nEuropean Pharmacopoeia, or in the \n\ndescribed by the European \n\nabsence thereof, by the official \n\nPharmacopoeia, or in the absence \n\npharmacopoeia of a Member State. thereof, by the official pharmacopoeia \n\nof a Member State.

The Commission has decided, in accordance with Article 149, paragraph 3 of the EEC \n\nTreaty, to amend its proposals in order to incorporate into the text 17 out of the \n\n28 amendements adopted by the Parliament. The primary aims of the amendments accepted by the Commission are : \n\n- to avoid the distortion of competition between manufacturers \n\n- to maintain the principle of a free choice of therapies \n\n- to assimilate anthroposophic medicines as homeopathic medicines when described \n\nin an off I cal pharmacopoeia \n\n- to introduce appropriate references to homeopathic and anthroposophic \n\nprinciples. - 3 -\n\nBy contrast, the Commission rejected other amendments for three principal reasons. Certain of the amendments go far beyond the limits of those proposals which deal \n\nwith the free movement of medicines, for example; training for and engaging in \n\nprofessional practice, and the way in which the cost of medicines to the patient \n\nis met by public funding. Some amendments show excessive partiality towards particular medical traditions, \n\nbearing in mind that the Commission must remain neutral in the debate between \n\n\"conventional\" and \"alternative\" medicine. Other amendments would widen excessively the scope of the simplified registration \n\nprocedure (Article 7 ), to the extent that a full marketing authorization \n\n(Article 9) would become an exception to the normal rule. It is worth recalling that since 1965 throughout the Community the normal basis \n\nfor a marketing authorization has been three standard criteria (quality, safety \n\nand efficacy) leading the competent authorities to undertake an evaluation of the \n\nrisks and benefits expected of the medicament in question. 4 -\n\nHowever, the simplified registration procedure, in the form proposed by the \n\nCommission, constitutes rather an administr\u00e2tive notification, adequate for \n\nhomeopathic medicines which do not present any known risk by virtue of their \n\nmethod of administration (oral) and the low concentration of their active \n\nconstituents, which is fixed at less than one part per million. Manufacturing \n\nquality can be verified from the dossier supplied. The other routes of administration described by the pharmacopoeias, especially \n\ninjectibles, or stronger concentrations of active constituents, can, in certain \n\ncases, expose patients to potential risks and necessitate because of this a more \n\ncomprehensive authorization procedure based upon an evaluation of the risks and \n\nbenefits by the competent authorities in accordance with the provisions of \n\nArticle 9. - 5 -\n\nAmendment to the proposal for a \n\nCOUNCIL DIRECTIVE \n\nwidening the scope of Directives 65/65/EEC and 75/319/EEC on the \n\napproximation of the laws of the Member States on medicinal \n\nproducts and laying down additional provisions on \n\nSYN 251 \n\nhomeopathic medicinal products \n\n(Presented by the Commission in accordance with article 149, \n\nparagraph 3 of EEC Treaty) \n\nOriginal proposal \n\nAmended proposal \n\nTitles and visas unchanged \n\nFirst recital \n\nWhereas differences currently existing \n\nWhereas differences currently existing \n\nbetween the provisions laid down by \n\nbetween the provisions laid down by \n\nlaw, regulation or administrative \n\nlaw, regulation or administrative \n\naction in the Member States may hinder \n\naction in the Member States may hinder \n\ntrade in homeopathic medicinal \n\ntrade in homeopathic medicinal \n\nproducts within the Community; \n\nproducts within the Community and thus \n\nlead to discrimination and distorsion \n\nof competition between manufacturers of \n\nthese products; \n\n2nd recital unchanged \n\nRecital 2a (new) \n\nWhereas freedom of choice with regard \n\nto therapy needs to be safeguarded; \n\nwhereas, despite considerable dif \n\nferences in the status of alternative \n\nmedicines in the various Member States, \n\npatients should be guaranteed free \n\naccess to the therapy of their choice, \n\nprovided all precautions are taken to \n\nensure the quality and safety of \n\nproducts; \n\n3rd recital unchanged \n\n\fOriginal proposal \n\nAmended proposa \n\n- 6 -\n\nFourth recital \n\nWhereas homeopathic medicine is \n\nWhereas homeopathic medicine is \n\nofficially recognized in certain \n\nofficially recognized in certain \n\nMember States but is only tolerated \n\nMember States but is only tolerated \n\nin other Member States; whereas, \n\nin other Member States; \n\ntherefore, it is appropriate to \n\nrecognize certain national homeopathic \n\ntraditions without imposing them \n\nthroughout the Community; \n\n5th, 6th and 7th recitals unchanged \n\nEighth recital \n\nWhereas, having regard to the \n\nWhereas, having regard to the \n\nparticular characteristics of these \n\nparticular characteristics of these \n\nmedicinal products, such as their \n\nmedicinal products, such as their ' \n\nvery low content of active principles \n\nvery low content of active principles \n\nand the difficulty of applying to them \n\nand the difficulty of applying to them \n\nthe conventional statistical methods \n\nthe conventional statistical methods \n\nrelating to clinical trials, it is \n\nrelating to clinical trials, it is \n\nappropriate to provide a simplified \n\nappropriate to provide a simplified \n\nregistration system for those \n\nregistration system for those \n\ntraditional homeopathic medicinal \n\ntraditional homeopathic medicinal \n\nproducts which are placed on the market \n\nproducts which are placed on the market \n\nwithout specific therapeutic \n\nwithout specific therapeutic \n\nindications in a preparation which \n\nindications in a preparation and dosage \n\ndoes not present a risk for the patient; \n\nwhich does not present a risk for the \n\npatient; \n\n9th recital unchanged \n\n\f- 7 -\n\nOriginal proposal \n\nAmended proposal \n\nArt \n\nicle 1 \n\nFor the purposes of this Directive \n\nFor the purposes of this Directive \n\n\"homeopathic medicinal product\" shall \n\n\"homeopathic medicinal product\" shall \n\nmean any medicinal product prepared in \n\nmean any pharmaceutical preparation \n\naccordance with a homeopathic manufac \n\nprepared in accordance with a \n\nturing procedure described by the \n\nhomeopathic manufacturing procedure \n\nEuropean Pharmacopoeia, or in the \n\ndescribed by the European \n\nabsence thereof, by the official \n\nPharmacopoeia, or in the absence \n\npharmacopoeia of a Member State. thereof, by the official pharmacopoeia \n\nof a Member State.

Since then the epidemic has spread to neighbouring countries and there \n\nis a possibility that the whole of South America will be affected. It is planned to repeal the provisional measures adopted by \n\nDecision 91/147/EEC. Since no suitable action can be taken under the \n\ncommon agricultural policy to tackle the risks to the European fruit \n\nand vegetable consumer, it is necessary for the Council to act under \n\nthe common trade policy in order to protect consumer health and \n\npreserve the unity of the market without unduly affecting trade with \n\nthird countr ies. The attached Regulation sets requirements for importation of fresh and \n\nprocessed fruit and vegetables liable to be contaminated with cholera \n\nvibr io. it lists the South American regions affected by cholera to which \n\nthe protective measures apply (Annex I); \n\nmakes importation of products from these areas subject to \n\npresentation of a certificate issued by a recognized health \n\nauthority carrying certain information (Article 2(1), Annex II and \n\nM l ); \n\nexempts from these requirements certain products carrying no risk \n\nof infection (Article 2(2), Annex IV); \n\nimposes additional requirements in view of the health situation in \n\ncertain third countries. 1 OJ No L 73, 23. 3. 1991, p. 35. - 3 -\n\nThe Community may send inspectors to the affected regions (Article 3 ). When products are imported Member States must check the certification \n\nor if under Article 2(2) a certificate is not required check that the \n\nrequirements of Annex IV are met (Article 4 ). If the competent authorities of Member States in which products are to \n\nbe consumed find cholera vibrio when making a sample check the \n\nCommission and the other Member States are to be informed (Article 5 ). The Regulation is framed so as to enable the Commission to adopt the \n\nrules of application needed and adjust the annexes rapidly and \n\nfrequently as the changing situation dictates. To this end an ad hoc \n\nCommission regulatory committee will be set up (Article 6 ). The initial period of application of Regulation will be two years. _ 4 -\n\nProposal for a \n\nCOUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) \n\non imports of fruit and vegetables from certain countries \n\naffected by cholera \n\nTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, \n\nHaving regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic \n\nCommunity, and in particular Article 113 thereof, \n\nHaving regard to the proposal from the Commission, \n\nWhereas the incidence of cholera is rapidly increasing in certain parts \n\nof South America; whereas this disease is a serious threat to public \n\nhealth and can be spread by contaminated fruit and vegetables; \n\nWhereas Community experts have visited the regions in question to look \n\nat the situation and decide what safeguards are required to prevent any \n\nrisk of introduction of the disease into the Community; \n\nWhereas their findings indicate that Community measures are required; \n\nwhereas national measures have been adopted in a number of \n\nMember States on imports of fruit and vegetables from certain South \n\nAmerican countries; whereas it is incumbent on the Council therefore \n\nto adopt common rules that will protect the health of consumers, \n\nmaintain market unity without unduly affecting trade between the \n\nCommunity and third countries and prevent deflection of trade; \n\n\f- 5 -\n\nWhereas requirements to be met for imports of fruit and vegetables \n\noriginating in or consigned from regions affected by cholera should \n\ntherefore be specified; whereas the list of these regions should \n\ntherefore be determined; \n\nWhereas these requirements should not be made applicable to products \n\nthat because of their characteristics, the treatment they are given or \n\nthe length of time elapsing before they reach the Community present no \n\nhealth risk; \n\nWhereas \n\nthese requirements \n\nshould \n\nnot \n\nbe made applicable to \n\nconsignments of fruit and vegetables covered by suitable guarantees \n\nfrom the authorities of the exporting country; whereas it is necessary \n\ntherefore to specify the recognized health authorities of the countries \n\nin quest ion; \n\nWhereas Member States must be able to require presentation of health \n\ncertificates made out by the authorities of the exporting third \n\ncountry; whereas the requirements pertaining to the issuing of \n\ncertificates must be specified; \n\nWhereas experts from the Member States and from the Commission should \n\nmake checks to see whether the health safeguards offered by the third \n\ncountries concerned are effective; \n\nWhereas the special rules will apply without prejudice to normal \n\nrequirements pertaining to imports from the third countries in \n\nquest ion; \n\nWhereas documentary or identification checks, as appropriate in each \n\ncase, must be carried out on imported products when they first arrive \n\nin the Community; whereas such a check is required in order to \n\nguarantee free circulation within the Community; whereas sample checks \n\nmay also be made in the Member State of consumption to ensure the \n\nabsence of cholera vibrio; \n\n\f- 6 -\n\nWhereas a simplified procedure should be set up that will permit \n\ncontinual rapid updating of the rules in line with changes in the \n\nepidemiological situation; whereas to this end an ad hoc committee \n\nshould be set up, \n\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: \n\nArticle 1 \n\nThis Regulation sets rules applying to imports of \n\nfruit and vegetables covered by Council Regulations (EEC) \n\nNo 1035/721 or No 827/682 \n\nprocessed fruit and vegetable products covered by Council \n\nRegulation (EEC) No 426/863 \n\noriginating in or consigned from the areas affected by cholera listed \n\nin Annex I.
