      COMMISSION DECISION

   of 3 February 2005
   amending Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom
   (2005/94/EC, Euratom)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 218(2) thereof,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 131 thereof,
   Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 28(1) and Article 41(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The Commission’s security system is based on the principles set out in Council Decision 2001/264/EC of 19 March 2001 adopting the Council’s security regulations (1) with a view to ensuring a smooth functioning of the decision-making process of the Union.

               (2)

               The Commission’s provisions on security are contained in the Annex to Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom of 29 November 2001 amending its internal Rules of Procedure (2).

               (3)

               Appendix 1 to the Rules on security annexed to those provisions contains a table of equivalence including national security classifications.

               (4)

               On 16 April 2003, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia signed the Treaty concerning their accession to the European Union (3). Appendix 1 to the Rules on security should be amended in order to take account of those States.

               (5)

               On 14 March 2003 the European Union signed an agreement (4) with NATO on the security of information. It is therefore also necessary to establish correspondence with NATO classification levels in Appendix 1 to the Rules on security.

               (6)

               France and the Netherlands have changed their legislation on classification.

               (7)

               In the interests of clarity, Appendix 1 to the Rules on security should be replaced.

               (8)

               At the same time, the Annex to Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom should be corrected in order to ensure that the four classification terms are used homogeneously in all language versions,

         HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
   Article 1
   Appendix 1 to the Rules on security contained in the Annex to Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
   Article 2
   The Annex to Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom is corrected by replacing in all linguistic versions the four classification terms, as appropriate, by the following terms which shall always be written in capital letters:

               —

               ‘RESTREINT UE’,

               —

               ‘SECRET UE’,

               —

               ‘TRES SECRET UE/EU TOP SECRET’.

         Article 3
   This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The institutions mentioned in Articles 41 to 50 of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 shall draw up the insurance histories of workers who have been subject to the legislation of two or more Member States in accordance with the rules set out below.       2. The institutions concerned shall draw up the insurance history of such a worker, at the latest from one year before the date on which he will reach pensionable age:      (a) following a request from a worker made to one of these institutions, or           (b) on the initiative of any institution concerned.                  3. For the purpose of implementing these provisions form E 503, a model of which is reproduced below, should be used. This form shall be issued by the institution drawing up the insurance history of the worker. That institution shall send it to the last known institutions with which the worker was insured in another Member State.  With the agreement of the institutions concerned form E 503 may be replaced by any other means of transmitting the same information.        4.

If the legislation of a Member State lays down age conditions for survivors' pensions, the institutions concerned shall draw up the insurance history of a deceased worker in a similar manner, starting at the latest one year before the date on which one of his survivors would reach the age for receiving a survivor's pension.       6. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1976.             The Chairman  of the Administrative Commission  F.

         Remarks

         New item

      This pilot project is intended to establish an exchange programme for young farmers, which would allow for cross-border exchanges of best practice in farm management, in particular in relation to the challenges facing European agriculture, in order to aid in the development of Europe's rural areas.
      This programme would provide an invaluable opportunity for young famers to experience at first hand the diverse agricultural realities in the Union by spending time on farms based in a different MemberState. This exchange of knowledge and experience among Europe's young farmers would further equip them to meet the demands of European consumers, to contribute to food security and to address other challenges facing European agriculture such as the use of renewable energies, biodiversity loss and carbon storage.

   EUROPEAN UNION DECLARATION ON DOCUMENTS TO BE SUBMITTED WHEN APPLYING FOR SHORT-STAY VISAS
   The European Union will establish a harmonised list of supporting documents, in accordance with Article 48(1)(a) of the Visa Code, in order to ensure that applicants from Ukraine are required to submit, in principle, the same supporting documents.
   EUROPEAN UNION DECLARATION ON FACILITATIONS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS
   The European Union takes note of the suggestion of Ukraine to give a wider definition to the notion of family members that should benefit from visa facilitation as well as of the importance that Ukraine attaches to the simplification of movement of this category of persons.
   In order to ease the mobility of an extended number of persons which have family links (in particular sisters and brothers and their children) with citizens of Ukraine legally residing in the territories of Member States or with citizens of the European Union residing in the territory of the Member State of which they are nationals, the European Union invites the Member States’ consular offices to make full use of the existing possibilities in the Visa Code for facilitating the issuance of visas to this category of persons, including in particular, the simplification of documentary evidence requested for the applicants, exemptions from handling fees and, where appropriate, the issuing of multiple-entry visas.
   EUROPEAN UNION DECLARATION ON ARTICLE 10 (2) OF THE AGREEMENT
   The European Union may invoke a partial suspension of the Agreement and in particular of Article 10(2), in accordance with the procedure set up by Article 14(5) of the Agreement, if the implementation of Article 10(2) is abused by Ukraine or leads to a threat to public security. If the implementation of Article 10(2) is suspended, the European Union shall initiate consultations in the framework of the Committee set up by the Agreement with a view to solving the problems that led to the suspension.
   JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING SWITZERLAND AND LIECHTENSTEIN
   The Parties take note of the close relationship between the Union and Switzerland and Liechtenstein, particularly by virtue of the Agreement of 26 October 2004 concerning the association of these countries with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis.
   In such circumstances, it is desirable that the authorities of Switzerland and Liechtenstein and Ukraine conclude, without delay, bilateral agreements on the facilitation of the issuance of short-stay visas in similar terms as the amended Agreement.
