         COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2015/1570
   of 18 September 2015
   establishing the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Council for Trade in Services of the World Trade Organization on the approval of preferential treatment notified by WTO Members, other than the Union and its Member States, as regards services and service suppliers of least-developed country Members, on the application of measures other than those described in Article XVI of the GATS
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 91, 100 and the first subparagraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article IX of the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization ('WTO') sets out, inter alia, the procedures for waiving obligations imposed on WTO Members by that Agreement or by the Multilateral Trade Agreements in Annexes 1A or 1B or 1C to that Agreement and their annexes.

               (2)

               In 2011, a waiver was requested enabling WTO Members to grant preferential treatment to services and service suppliers of least-developed country Members ('LDC Members') without according the same treatment to like services and service suppliers of all other WTO Members by exceptionally derogating from the obligation under paragraph 1 of Article II of the General Agreement on Trade in Services ('GATS'). The position of the Union in support of that waiver was adopted by Council Decision 2012/8/EU (1).

               (3)

               On 17 December 2011, the Ministerial Conference of the WTO adopted a decision authorising WTO Members to grant such preferential treatment to services and service suppliers of LDC Members for a period of 15 years. Pursuant to that decision, WTO Members according preferential treatment are to submit a notification to the Council for Trade in Services ('CTS') and preferential treatment with respect to the application of measures other than those described in Article XVI of the GATS is to be approved by the CTS in accordance with its procedures.

               (4)

               In its decision of 7 December 2013, the WTO Ministerial Conference restated the requirement of CTS approval with regard to the application of measures other than those described in Article XVI of the GATS.

               (5)

               The approval of preferential treatment notified by WTO Members, other than the Union and its Member States, as regards services and service suppliers of LDC Members is in the interest of the development objectives of the Union and is conducive to concluding a part of the negotiations on services relating to the Doha Development Agenda.

               (6)

               Therefore, it is appropriate to establish the position to be adopted on the Union's behalf within the CTS on the approval of preferential treatment notified by WTO Members, other than the Union and its Member States, as regards services and service suppliers of LDC Members, on the application of measures other than those described in Article XVI of the GATS,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   The position of the Union within the CTS shall be to support the approval of the preferential treatment notified by WTO Members, other than the Union and its Member States, as regards services and service suppliers of LDC Members, on the application of measures other than those described in Article XVI of the GATS, in accordance with the decision of 7 December 2013 of the WTO Ministerial Conference.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption.

      Done at Brussels, 18 September 2015.

      (1)  Council Decision 2012/8/EU of 14 December 2011 establishing the position to be taken by the European Union within the Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organisation as regards a request for granting a waiver in order to give preferential treatment to services and service suppliers of least-developed countries (OJ L 4, 7.1.2012, p. 16).

Official Journal L 054 , 25/02/2002 P. 0039 - 0040

Decision No 183of 27 June 2001on the interpretation of Article 22(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, concerning health care in conjunction with pregnancy and childbirth(Text with EEA relevance)(2002/155/EC)THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS,Having regard to Article 81(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community(1), in accordance with which the Administrative Commission is made responsible for dealing with all matters of interpretation arising from Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and subsequent regulations,Having regard to Article 22(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 concerning persons whose condition necessitates immediate benefits during a stay in the territory of another Member State;Whereas:(1) Too narrow an interpretation of Article 22(1)(a) would appreciably restrict the freedom of movement of pregnant women, whose condition requires constant and regular medical treatment or medical checks and who therefore could be presumed to be in immediate need of benefits during a stay in the territory of another Member State.(2) There is a need to prevent all unreasonable exploitation of the provisions of Article 22(1)(a) by pregnant women who temporarily move to another Member State's territory with the intention of obtaining pregnancy-related benefits in kind under these provisions without complying with the procedure set out in Article 22(1)(c), which makes the granting of such benefits subject to prior authorisation by the competent institution.(3) It is therefore important to clarify the interpretation of Article 22(1)(a) in order to establish that it also covers the health care that pregnant women constantly and regularly need up until the commencement of the 38th week of pregnancy.Acting in accordance with Article 80(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71,HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:1. Health care services in conjunction with pregnancy or childbirth that commence before the start of the 38th week of pregnancy and are provided in a Member State other than the competent Member State or the Member State of residence for a person who is covered by the provisions of Article 22(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 shall be considered as being care that is immediately necessary, in accordance with the above provisions, provided the reasons for such stay are other than medical ones.Such health care services shall be provided by the institution of the place of stay in accordance with the provisions of the legislation it administers.2. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the month in which the Decision was published.Bengt SibbmarkChairman of the Administrative Commission(1) OJ L 149, 5.7.1971, p. 2.

         DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
   of 20 October 2010
   on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund in accordance with point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (application EGF/2010/011 NL/NXP Semiconductors from the Netherlands)
   (2010/665/EU)
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

               (2)

               The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.

               (3)

               The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.

               (4)

               The Netherlands submitted an application on 26 March 2010 to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the enterprise NXP Semiconductors Netherlands BV, and supplemented it by additional information up to 3 June 2010. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 1 809 434.

               (5)

               The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by the Netherlands,

         HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2010, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 1 809 434 in commitment and payment appropriations.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      Done at Strasbourg, 20 October 2010.

                  —

                  having regard to Rule 77 of, and Annex VI to, its Rules of Procedure,

                  —

                  having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A7-0066/2013),

                  A.

                  whereas the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (‘the Body’) for the financial year 2011 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular,

                  B.

                  whereas in compliance with Decision 2010/349/EU taken by common accord between the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States of 31 May 2010 on the location of the seat of the Office of the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) (6), the Office of BEREC (‘the Office’) was located in Riga, Latvia; whereas the Office signed its seat agreement on 24 February 2011, became fully functional in the course of 2011 and was granted financial autonomy on 12 September 2011,

                  C.

                  whereas the overall budget of the Body for the financial year 2011, EUR 1 178 785,60, was entirely funded by a Union contribution (7),

         Budgetary and financial management

                  1.

                  Recalls that the initial Union contribution to the Office’s budget for 2011 was EUR 1 178 785,60; notes that this was the first year that the Office was financially autonomous;

                  2.

                  Notes the Court of Auditor’s observation that the Office’s 2011 budget, adopted by the Management Committee, disclosed appropriations only by Titles and Chapters and was not subdivided into articles and items and that that situation is, thus, at odds with the principle of specification; notes the Office’s reply that its budget for 2012 is already subdivided into articles and items;

                  3.

                  Observes from the Office’s annual accounts that appropriations were committed at a rate of 63,4 %, while payments reached a level of 70,1 % of the total appropriations managed (or 44,5 % of available appropriations);

         Carryovers appropriations

                  4.

                  Notes with concern that the Court of Auditors identified 21 cases, with a total value of EUR 94 120, where appropriations carried over to 2012 did not correspond to legal commitments and that those carryovers were, therefore, irregular;

                  5.

                  Accepts the Office’s explanation that the start-up phase made it difficult to correctly forecast carryforwards and that a closely monitored follow-up of the budget implementation is currently in place; notes the Office’s comment that instructions were to be given at the end of 2012 and relevant information was to be collected from the units in order to decommit unused commitments; calls on the Office to report to the discharge authority whether that has been the case;

         Internal control standards

                  6.

                  Draws the Office’s attention to the Court of Auditors’ observation that the Office had not adopted and implemented all the internal control standards (ICS), notably, no central register of invoices and no register of exceptions was introduced;

                  7.

                  Takes note of the Office’s statement that the current implementation plan for ICS involves defining the implementation deadlines for different standards from November 2011 until January 2013; notes that the registration of invoices and the recording of exceptions have been implemented since 18 June 2012 with an impact on further registrations in 2012 and that the preparation of relevant administrative instructions has been in progress; calls on the Office to report to the discharge authority on the progress made on those matters;

         Recruitment procedures

                  8.

                  Notes the Court of Auditors’ observation that there is a need to improve the transparency of recruitment procedures; notes the Office’s reply that in June 2012, it updated its Guidelines for recruitment procedures in order to address the Court’s findings; calls on the Office to follow up this issue and to report to the discharge authority on the actions taken; considers that some of the provisions of the Staff Regulations may present a considerable administrative burden; encourages, therefore, the Commission to allow for a certain degree of simplification under Article 110 of the Staff Regulations in regard to the agencies;

                  9.

                  Refers, in respect of the other observations accompanying its Decision on discharge, which are of a horizontal nature, to its Resolution of 17 April 2013 (8) on the performance, financial management and control of the agencies.

Notes the significant savings obtained by the conclusion of a supplementary agreement to the leasing agreement concerning the annexes to the Court building, following the early payment of ECU 50 million during the previous financial year;2. Notes the undertaking by the Luxembourg Government to bear the cost of rehousing the occupants of the Court building in a replacement office block for the duration of the restoration and extension work on the Court building, and the cost of removals to the replacement building and of the subsequent return to the Court building when work is completed;3. Repeats its call on the Court of Justice to improve its financial forecasting (Article 2 7 0) and the management of its budgetary resources (Item 1 4 1 0);4. Disapproves of the use for the purchase of cars, following an article-to-article transfer, of appropriations intended for computer equipment, which shows inefficient programming of work in the drafting of the budget;Court of Auditors5. Recalls that the total number of new posts authorised in 1997 and 1998 is intended to guarantee stability in the establishment plan up to and including the year 2001;6. Considers that certain activities (Chapter 15), for which the appropriations allocated were judged insufficient by the Court of Auditors, could have benefited from the large volume of funds arising partly as a result of the favourable movement in the ecu-Luxembourg franc conversion rate, thus helping to reduce the amount of appropriations cancelled;Committee of the Regions7. Expresses its displeasure at the haphazard programming of the activities of the Committee of the Regions, which necessitated a major article-to-article transfer at the very beginning of the 1997 financial year;8. Calls on the Committee of the Regions to improve significantly the quality of its budgetary forecasting to enable optimum use to be made of the financial resources allocated to it by the budgetary authority;9. Recalls its request to the Court of Auditors to investigate the appropriateness and effectiveness of the measures taken by the Committee of the Regions, to ensure that the irregularities identified in the 1996 annual report do not recur; requests the Court of Auditors to submit a report on this matter by 30 September 1999;10.
