82/752/EEC: Council Decision of 4 November 1982 on the adoption of a European Economic Community research and development programme for a machine translation system of advanced design

Official Journal L 317 , 13/11/1982 P. 0019 - 0023 Spanish special edition: Chapter 16 Volume 1 P. 0117  Portuguese special edition Chapter 16 Volume 1 P. 0117

*****COUNCIL  DECISION  of 4 November 1982  on the adoption of a European Economic Community research and development programme for a machine translation system of advanced design  (82/752/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),  Whereas, under Article 2 of the Treaty, one of the Community's main tasks is to promote throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities, a continuous and balanced expansion and an increase in stability;  Whereas the multilingual nature of the European Community is of high cultural value, but is also in practice an obstacle to closer ties between the peoples of the Community, to communications and to the development of the internal and external trade of the Community;  Whereas the benefits of teleinformatics and of communication and information networks cannot be fully reaped at Community level unless the language barrier is overcome;  Whereas the development of computational linguistics is likely to contribute to the overcoming of this barrier;  Whereas considerable research has already been carried out on this subject in the Member States;  Whereas this research, by its very nature, can only bear fruit provided that it is supported by a Community action which would inter alia have a catalytic effect on work already carried out;  Whereas such Community action can, in particular, consist in the creation of a European machine translation system of advanced design;  Whereas such a system would have numerous industrial applications and be of direct benefit to European industry and, in particular, to exporting industries;  Whereas the intellectual property rights in connection with the results of such research should be strictly defined;  Whereas the preliminary work already completed has demonstrated the technical feasibility of such a system;  Whereas a Community research and development programme on machine translation is therefore likely to make an effective contribution to the achievement of the above objectives of the Treaty;  Whereas since the specific powers of action required to adopt this Decision have not been proved for in the Treaty, it is necessary to invoke Article 235 thereof;  Whereas the Scientific and Technical Research Committee (Crest) has delivered an opinion on the Commission's proposal,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Article 1  A research and development programme for the creation of a machine translation system of advanced design is hereby adopted for a period of five and a half years commencing on the day on which this Decision is published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.  Under the terms of Annex I, the programme shall be divided into phases, each one concluding with a review which may involve a revision of some or all of the elements defined in the said Annex in accordance with the appropriate procedures.  Article 2  The funds estimated as necessary for the execution of the programme should be 16 million ECU, including expenditure on a staff of eight temporary agents.  Article 3  The Commission shall be responsible for the execution of the programme, in particular by means of research contracts. It shall be assisted by an Advisory Committee on Programme Management (ACPM), the membership and terms of reference of which, in accordance with the Council resolution of 18 July 1977 on advisory committees on research programme management (1), are set out in Annex II.  The Commission shall inform the Crest and the Committee for Information and Documentation in Science and Technology (CIDST) at regular intervals on the progress of the work. Furthermore, the Commission shall submit an annual report to the Council and to the European Parliament concerning the execution of the programme.  Article 4  In accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty, the Community may, from the second phase and under the conditions laid down in Annex I, conclude agreements with third countries in particular with those taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research (COST), on their participation in the research programme which is the subject of this Decision.  The Commission is hereby authorized to negotiate such agreements after the ACPM and the Crest have been consulted.  Article 5  If the results of the programme are used industrially or commercially and/or lead to intellectual property rights and the subsequent award of licences, part of the contributions made by the Community shall be repaid.  The Commission shall negotiate and conclude the necessary contracts. For this purpose it shall draw up, after consulting the ACPM, a standard contract defining the rights and obligations of each party, including, where appropriate, conditions and procedures for possible royalty payments and for the repayment of part of the contributions made by the Community.

(1) OJ No C 192, 11. 8. 1977, p. 1.  ANNEX  I  1. OBJECTIVES  The objective of the programme is the creation of a machine translation system of advanced design (Eurotra) capable of dealing with all official languages of the Community.  On completion of the programme an operational system prototype should be available in a limited field and for limited categories of text, which would provide the basis for development on an industrial scale in the period following the current programme.  2. PROGRAMME OF WORK  The programme is divided into three phases:  (a) Preparatory phase (two years, 2 million ECU)  In this phase the following work would be carried out in parallel.  1. First:  - setting up of the ACPM,  - definition of the project and its organization and of the responsibilities of the participating countries and centres,  - definition of the methodology of the work,  - preparation of a detailed programme of linguistic work to be carried out by the participating centres, and of the sectors and categories of texts covered by the research,  - definition of the allocation of intellectual property rights and definition of the arrangements for disseminating the results of the work in accordance with the actual contribution of each participant,  - examination of the value to the Community of participation by third countries and, where appropriate, definition of the conditions for such participation.  2. Second:  - preparation of more detailed specifications of the linguistic models and strategies for the various components of the process (analysis, transfer, generation),  - preparation of detailed and binding specifications for the Eurotra basic software and the data-processing programmes capable of carrying out the various processes: analysis, transfer, generation, monitoring functions and text management,  - preparation of more detailed specifications for the lexical data base,  - preparation of the contracts of association including financial and other contributions to be made by the associated parties.  The Commission will ensure that the objectives of portability and compliance with international standards are correctly reflected in the specifications referred to in the first three indents above.  At the end of this phase the opinion of the ACPM must be obtained on the above specifications in order that the linguistic work can progress quickly and so that the widest possible invitation to tender for construction of the software can be issued as soon as possible (see point 2 (b) below).  (b) Phase of basic and applied linguistic research (two years, 8;5 million ECU)  On the successful completion of the first phase, and after consultation with the ACPM and Crest, the second phase will be divided into two parts:  1. Basic linguistic research  This part will consist of the following work (1):  - the development of initial linguistic models for the analysis and generation of each of the official Community languages and for transfer between these languages. This work will be based on a corpus and vocabulary in a limited field, estimated at around 2 500 entries,  - preparation of the lexical data base, for the abovementioned vocabulary, which will serve both for the analysis and for the generation of each of the languages and for the transfer between these languages,  - a study of the linguistic strategies best suited to machine-execution of the various processes.  2. Construction of the basic software for Eurotra  This part comprises the following work:  - issuing of invitations to tender, the specifications for which will have been defined during the first phase,  - scrutiny by the Commission of the replies to the invitation to tender and selection, after consultation of the ACPM, of a body to construct the Eurotra basic software, within as short a time as possible,  - development of the basic software by the body selected, including:  - the high level language for describing the linguistic data and strategies,  - the high level language for interaction between the user and the system, which will make it possible to introduce the various modules into integrated systems corresponding to the different utilization options,  - the utility software for compiling the high-level languages, for tests and for management of the data bases.  This initial version of the software is intended to enable the development and machine-testing of the linguistic models defined by the participating centres when they are sufficiently advanced. Its development is consequently a prerequisite for validating the linguistic work under this programme.  The industrial development of the Eurotra system, including adaptation of the software to the performance and reliability requirements for producing translations under commercial conditions, will not be put in hand until this programme has been completed.  (c) Phase of stabilization of the linguistic models and evaluation of results (18 months, 5;5 million ECU)  After opinions have been received from the ACPM, Crest, CIDST and Cetil at the end of the second phase, i.e. when it is possible to carry out systematic testing of the initial linguistic models, comprising complete language pairs and consisting of analysis, transfer and generation, the objective of the work will be concentrated on the following aspects:  - adapting the linguistic models, in order to produce linguistic modules which are as reliable as possible. The modules will then be fit for pre-operational use,  - progressively extending the basis of the text corpus, the linguistic models and the vocabulary for a specific field, and on texts of increasing complexity,  - revising and progressively extending the lexical bases to cover the chosen field as exhaustively as possible (about 20 000 entries in all the languages),  - evaluating the technical and economic performance of the system,  - preparing a proposal for the development of an operational system on an industrial scale and proceeding to the stage of commercial exploitation.  (1) Some of this work could continue in the following phase.  ANNEX  II  Terms of reference for an Advisory Committee on Programme Management for a machine translation system of advanced design (Eurotra)  1. Without prejudice to the Commission's responsibility in the implementation of the programme, it shall be the task of the Advisory Committee on Programme Management for a machine translation system of advanced design, hereinafter referred to as 'the Committee', to contribute, in its advisory capacity as defined by the Council resolution of 18 July 1977, to the best possible implementation of the programme for which it is responsible, and in particular to:  - the general organization of the programme, specifying in particular the main deadlines and the mechanisms envisaged for following the progress of the work,  - the preparation of contracts of association setting out the commitments of the institutions participating in the project at national level,  - the definition and solution of problems concerning intellectual property rights, connected with the different system components, and the definition of the procedures for disseminating the results of the work,  - the drawing up of binding specifications for the software to be jointly developed, to serve as a basis for the widest possible invitation to tender and for drawing up the list of undertakings and organizations to which the invitation to tender is to be sent,  - the clarification of user requirements, in particular in the field of information and documentation,  - the drawing up of detailed financing plans relating to the various fields of work and components of the system.  2. In carrying out these tasks the Committee may if necessary call on the services of independent experts.  3. In its advisory capacity the Committee's powers will cover the R & D aspects of the Community's plans of action for the improvement of the transfer of information between European languages in addition to the Eurotra programme. The Committee will also ensure the necessary cohesion between the R & D aspects of these plans, the Eurotra programme and the plans of action in the field of scientific and technical information and documentation. For this purpose, it will maintain close contact with the CIDST and the other committees set up under the auspices of the Community institutions with responsibility in the field of multilingualism.  4. In its advisory capacity the Committee will ensure the evaluation of the results of the programme and, in particular, the dissemination of the knowledge acquired to Community users in accordance with the third indent of paragraph 1.  5. The Community is also requested to give opinions on:  - the annual preparation of budgets and the allocation for appropriations accorded,  - any proposals for reviewing the programme and proposals for future research programmes within its field of competence,  - where appropriate, the conduct of negotiations with institutes in third countries with a view to their participation in the research programme,  - the multilingual aspects of the plans of action in the field of scientific and technical information and documentation.  6. The Committee shall submit to the Commission and to the Council a detailed report at the end of each phase of implementation of the programme. It shall also submit a final report which will be forwarded to the European Parliament.

         COMMISSION DECISION
   of 14 April 2011
   extending the transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land in Slovakia
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   (2011/241/EU)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
   Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular Chapter 3 of Annex XIV thereto,
   Having regard to the request made by Slovakia,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The 2003 Act of Accession provides that Slovakia may maintain in force, under the conditions laid down therein, for a 7-year period following the accession, expiring on 30 April 2011, prohibitions on the acquisition of agricultural land by natural and legal persons from other EU Member States who are neither established nor registered nor having a branch or an agency in Slovakia. This is a temporary exception to the free movement of capital as guaranteed by Articles 63 to 66 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. This transitional period may only be extended once for a period of up to 3 years.

               (2)

               On 20 January 2011, Slovakia requested to extend the transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land by 3 years.

               (3)

               The main reason for the transitional period was the need to safeguard the socioeconomic conditions for agricultural activities following the introduction of the single market and the transition to the common agricultural policy in Slovakia. In particular, it aimed to meet concerns raised about the possible impact on the agricultural sector of liberalising the acquisition of agricultural land due to initial large differences in land prices and income compared with Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom (hereinafter the EU-15). The transitional period was also designed to ease the process of restitution and privatisation of agricultural land. In its Report of 16 July 2008 on the Review of the transitional measures for the acquisition of agricultural real estate set out in the 2003 Accession Treaty (hereinafter the ‘Mid-Term Review’), the Commission has already emphasised the importance of the completion of the abovementioned agricultural reform by the end of the foreseen transitional period (1).

               (4)

               According to data available to Eurostat, agricultural land prices in Slovakia are lower than the agricultural land prices in the EU. Complete convergence in agricultural land sales prices was neither expected nor seen as a necessary pre-condition for terminating the transitional period. Nevertheless, the noticeable differences in agricultural land prices between Slovakia and the EU-15 are such that they can hinder smooth progress towards price convergence. The risk of speculative activity on low value lands is also important.

               (5)

               Similarly to the levels of agricultural land prices, the data from Eurostat show that the gap in per capita GDP in Purchasing Power Standards in Slovakia and the EU-15 still persists. Thus, existing agricultural land prices are high relative to the purchasing power in Slovakia.

               (6)

               According to Eurostat, the structure of land property in Slovakia is characterised by the predominance of small family farms of less than 2 ha which are mostly not market oriented. The consolidation process of these small farms is very slow and the average exploited agricultural area per holding of less than 2 ha increased from 0,5 ha to 0,6 ha between 2001 and 2007. Even though only 4,56 % of the total number of workers works in agriculture, almost half of the population lives in rural areas. According to the Slovak authorities many agricultural lands which are in private hands are not farmed.

               (7)

               Consolidation of agricultural land is also impeded by the unfinished process of restitution of ownership rights due to unsettled outstanding claims. Also, more than 360 000 ha of agricultural private lands are administrated by the Slovak Land Fund pending the identification of their legal owners. Approximately 130 000 ha of State-owned agricultural land remain under the administration of the Slovak Land Fund. These lands together with those which have uncertain legal situation represent almost one quarter of the total area of agricultural lands in the Slovak Republic. The lack of clarity on property rights inevitably hinders land transactions and consolidation of agricultural estates. Land fragmentation, in turn, further contributes to lower competitiveness and leads to less market-oriented farms.

               (8)

               Against this background, it may be anticipated, as do the Slovak authorities, that the lifting of the restrictions on 1 May 2011 would exert pressure on the land prices in Slovakia. Therefore, a threat of serious disturbances on the Slovak agricultural land market upon the expiry of the transitional period exists.

               (9)

               An extension of 3 years to the transitional period referred to in Chapter 3 of Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of Accession should therefore be granted.

               (10)

               In order to fully prepare the market for liberalisation, it continues to be of utmost importance, even amid adverse economic circumstances, to foster the improvement of factors such as credit and insurance facilities for farmers, and the completion of the agricultural reform during the transitional period, as already emphasised in the Mid-Term Review.

               (11)

               Since an open single market has always been at the heart of European prosperity, an increased inflow of foreign capital would also bring along potential benefits for the agricultural market in Slovakia. As emphasised in the Mid-Term Review of 2008, foreign investment in the agricultural sector would also have important long-term effects on the provision of capital and know-how, on the functioning of land markets and on agricultural productivity. The progressive loosening of the restrictions on foreign ownership during the transitional period would also contribute to preparing the market for full liberalisation.

               (12)

               For the purpose of legal certainty and in order to avoid a legal vacuum in the national legal system of Slovakia after the expiry of the current transitional period, this Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   The transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land in Slovakia referred to in Chapter 3 of Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of Accession shall be extended until 30 April 2014.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      Done at Brussels, 14 April 2011.

      COMMISSION DECISION

   of 29 October 2004
   establishing the European Technical and Scientific Centre (ETSC) and providing for coordination of technical actions to protect euro coins against counterfeiting
   (2005/37/EC)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 211 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Decision 2003/861/EC of 8 December 2003 concerning analysis and cooperation with regard to counterfeit euro coins (1) and Council Decision 2003/862/EC of 8 December 2003 extending the effects of Decision 2003/861/EC concerning analysis and cooperation with regard to counterfeit euro coins to those Member States which have not adopted the euro as their single currency (2),
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Council Regulation (EC) No 1338/2001 of 28 June 2001 laying down measures necessary for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof, provides for the analysis and classification of counterfeit coins by the Coin National Analysis Centre (CNAC) in each of the EU Member States and by the European Technical and Scientific Centre (ETSC). Council Regulation (EC) No 1339/2001 (4) extends the effects of Articles 1 to 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2001 to the Member States which have not adopted the euro as the single currency.

               (2)

               Since October 2001, the ETSC has been carrying out its tasks on a temporary basis at the French Mint with administrative support and management provided by the Commission, in line with an exchange of letters between the President of the Council and the French Finance Minister of 28 February and 9 June 2000.

               (3)

               The ETSC contributes to the fulfilment of the objectives of the ‘Pericles’ programme pursuant to Council Decision 2001/923/EC of 17 December 2001 establishing an exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting (5) and Council Decision 2001/924/EC of 17 December 2001 extending the effects of the Decision establishing an exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting (Pericles programme) to the Member States which have not adopted the euro as the single currency (6).

               (4)

               Article 1 of Decision 2003/861/EC provides that the Commission shall establish the ETSC and ensure its functioning and the coordination of the activities of the competent technical authorities to protect euro coins against counterfeiting. Article 1 of Decision 2003/862/EC extends Decision 2003/861/EC to the Member States which have not adopted the euro as the single currency.

               (5)

               The French authorities have taken the commitment, through a letter from the French Finance Minister, dated 6 September 2004, to maintain the current sharing of the relevant costs. An exchange of letters between the Member of the Commission responsible for the fight against fraud and the French Finance Minister, regarding the establishment of the ETSC on a permanent basis for the analysis and classification of counterfeit euro coins, will reiterate the principles that emerged from the ETSC’s activities during the period it was temporarily hosted at the French Mint, based on the exchange of letters between the Council Presidency and the French Finance Minister on 28 February and 9 June 2000.

               (6)

               The Economic and Financial Committee (EFC), the European Central Bank, Europol and the competent national authorities should be informed regularly of the activities of the ETSC and of the situation regarding euro coin counterfeiting.

               (7)

               Therefore, the ETSC should be established within the Commission in Brussels, attached to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF).

               (8)

               The coordination by the Commission of the measures taken by the competent technical authorities to protect euro coins against counterfeiting includes methods for analysing counterfeit euro coins, the study of new cases of coin counterfeiting and assessment of the consequences, exchanges of information on the activities of the CNACs and the ETSC, external communication on counterfeit coins, the detection of such coins by coin processing equipment and the study of any technical problems relating to these coins.

               (9)

               This coordination requires the continued efforts, within the Advisory Committee for Coordination of the Fight against Fraud (7), of the Counterfeit Coin Experts Group, comprising the experts in charge of the CNAC and ETSC, which the Commission manages and chairs, while providing periodic information to the EFC.

               (10)

               In order to act on Decisions 2003/861/EC and 2003/862/EC,

         DECIDES:
   Article 1
   The European Technical and Scientific Centre (ETSC) is established within the Commission in Brussels, attached to OLAF.
   Article 2
   The ETSC shall analyse and classify every new type of counterfeit euro coin in line with the provisions of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) 1338/2001. It contributes to the fulfilment of the objectives of the Pericles programme pursuant to Article 4 of Decision 2001/923/EC. It assists the Coin National Analysis Centres (CNAC) and the law-enforcement authorities and collaborates with the relevant authorities in the analysis of counterfeit euro coins and the strengthening of protection.
   Article 3
   The principles on which the organisation of the ETSC will be based are the following:

               —

               The Commission may second members of its personnel to the French Mint in order to use its facilities for the analysis of coins.

               —

               In accomplishing its functions, the ETSC will be able to use the personnel and equipment of the French Coin National Analysis Centre and the laboratory of the French Mint in Pessac. The French authorities will place the appropriate personnel and equipment at the disposal of the ETSC as a priority.

               —

               Under the applicable financial regulations, the part of the expenses attributable to the work carried out by the ETSC will be charged to the general budget of the European Communities. Since France will provide the abovementioned personnel, premises and equipment and will be responsible for their maintenance, the Community budget will meet the salaries of the personnel recruited by the Commission, travelling expenses and sundry minor current expenditure.

         OLAF shall define, in cooperation with the French Mint, the rules and administrative modalities applicable to the ETSC.
   Article 4
   The Commission shall coordinate the necessary actions to protect euro coins against counterfeiting through periodic meetings of counterfeit coin experts.
   The Economic and Financial Committee, the European Central Bank, Europol and the competent national authorities shall be kept regularly informed of the ETSC’s activities and of the situation as regards coin counterfeiting.
