Article 2  The objectives of European Tourism Year are to:  - prepare for the establishment of the large area without frontiers, turning the integrating role of tourism to account in the creation of a people's Europe,  - stress the economic and social importance of the tourism sector, inter alia in regional policy and job creation.

82/534/EEC: Decision of the Council and of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States meeting within the Council of 28 July 1982 adopting the fifth medium-term economic policy programme

*****DECISION  OF THE COUNCIL  AND OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL  of 28 July 1982  adopting the fifth medium-term economic policy programme  (82/534/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the preamble thereto and Articles 6, 105 and 145 thereof,  Having regard to Council Decision 74/120/EEC of 18 February 1974 on the attainment of a high degree of convergence of the economic policies of the Member States of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,  Having regard to the communication from the Commission concerning the draft of the fifth medium-term economic policy programme,  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Whereas the Economic and Social Committee, consulted on the Commission proposal, has not submitted its opinion within the time limit set by the Council under Article 198 of the EEC Treaty; whereas the absence of an opinion should not prevent further action;  Whereas the economic policies pursued by the Member States must meet the objectives set out in Article 104 of the Treaty,  HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Sole Article  1. The fifth medium-term economic policy programme set out in the Annex is hereby adopted. The Member States express their intention of acting in accordance with the guidelines contained therein.  2. The programme will be kept under constant review during its period of application.  Done at Brussels, 28 July 1982.  The President  O. MOELLER  (1) OJ No L 63, 5. 3. 1974, p. 16.  (2) OJ No C 66, 15. 3. 1982, p. 37.  ANNEX  FIFTH MEDIUM-TERM ECONOMIC POLICY PROGRAMME  1. The Fifth Programme develops and defines a medium-term strategy for achieving a number of economic policy objectives. This Programme is not a quantified plan, but a kind of framework which lays down guidelines for national policies and policy at Community level. It defines the various elements of a strategy. Concrete measures to realize the strategy would depend on the very different economic situations and structures in the Member States.  2. There is still broad agreement as to the chief medium-term objectives contained in the Economic Policy Committee's preliminary draft of 21 May 1981: the achievement of sustained and balanced growth and improved employment, in particular through higher investment and the promotion of structural change, and further progress in fighting inflation, paralleled by an improvement in the competitiveness of the economies of the Member States.  3. Opinions differed, however, as to the priority objectives and the timing of measures to achieve improved employment and stability. Some Member States felt that in the medium-term the employment situation would be improved by consistent stabilization policies (monetary, budgetary and incomes policy) and that, in the given circumstances, measures to stimulate global demand with a view to improving the employment situation in the short-term could make the achievement of medium-term objectives more difficult. Other Member States, however, took the view that, while the ambition of re-establishing in time a broad equilibrium in the course of implementing the medium-term strategy should not be abandoned, a selective support of domestic demand was advisable in order to achieve a more rapid improvement in the employment situation and as a condition in itself for a recovery in investment. For these Member States, it is essential that the adjustment effort be accompanied by resolute structural action, affecting notably industrial structures, and by a better trade-off between income and employment through work-sharing measures.  4. In the year which has elapsed since the submission of the draft Programme, the economic environment has further deteriorated and the cyclical upturn has been slow in starting. Economic trends in the Community remain largely unsatisfactory, notably as regards growth and investment and, more particularly, employment and unemployment. The employment position is a matter of increasing concern to Member States. Nevertheless, since the draft Programme was prepared:  - some progress has been achieved in reducing inflation rates but, at the same time, divergences in price and cost developments between Member States have widened. If these divergences are not narrowed, lasting monetary stability within the Community cannot be achieved. In order to prevent frequent central rate adjustments, which undermine the credibility of the European monetary system, the implementation of stabilization measures is important in those countries where price and cost increases remain high.  - It has been possible to reduce dependence on energy: petroleum imports have fallen partly as a result of the decline in economic activity, but also partly because of real energy savings due to structural adjustment and, in some countries, to dynamic policies of domestic energy supply. However, the Community must not be deflected from its efforts to achieve further progress in reducing petroleum consumption by the developments in crude oil prices.  - The Community's balance of payments deficit has been smaller than expected, partly because of the reduction in oil imports. Nevertheless, given the very different evolution as between Member States, problems for convergence might arise.  5. The actual direction of economic policy in the Member States since mid-1981 has for the most part remained within the broad framework of guidelines set out in the draft Programme. The following points deserve particular mention:  - the measures decided on to promote investment activity and employment,  - the efforts made to moderate pay rises, and - in countries where budget deficits were particularly large, the efforts made to limit them and to reduce the growth of public expenditure. However, in some cases, the restructuring of public budgets is still insufficient.  6. As regards the present economic outlook, there are signs of a cyclical recovery, but the process is slow in starting and the upturn is endangered by high interest rates and excessive structural budget deficits. There is particular concern over the further rise in unemployment, which could be reduced only in the course of a sustained economic recovery, and over the persistently high inflation rates in some countries.  7. In this situation, the first requirement is to strengthen the forces of recovery and to create greater employment opportunities. Policies are required which take account of the developing situation and of the differing positions of the Member States, while emphasizing common aims and seeking to achieve greater convergence. Coordination of national policies at Community level and individual Community policies should contribute to structural adjustment and help to reduce divergence between Member States' economies. Particular attention should be given to creating a socio-economic climate which would promote and revive investment activity and improve the competitiveness of the European economies. Specific employment policy measures are also urgent, in particular measures to promote vocational training for young people. The Commission is shortly to put forward a first report on the practical measures or appropriate initiatives to promote investment, which the Economic Policy Committee will examine in due time.  8. The essential elements of this strategy should be the foundation of a medium-term approach. Under present circumstances, the Member States attach different priorities to the individual economic policy objectives. However, even if the stance of economic policy differs, sufficient regard should be paid to the chief common medium-term objectives. It would also be necessary to strengthen the forces underlying growth as the basis of further progress towards stability and to create better conditions for a sustained economic recovery and the requirement of closer convergence. The Economic Policy Committee intends to discuss medium-term developments and problems at regular intervals and to present the results to the Council. It will in particular carefully examine the appropriate mix of the proposed strategy as the necessary progress is made in the fields of inflation and of public finance and balance of payments equilibrium.

      COUNCIL DECISION

   of 16 December 2009
   on the granting of State aid by the authorities of the Republic of Lithuania for the purchase of State-owned agricultural land between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2013
   (2009/983/EU)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in particular Article 108(2), third subparagraph, thereof,
   Having regard to the request made by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania on 23 November 2009,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 23 November 2009, the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter referred to as ‘Lithuania’) presented to the Council a request for a decision in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 88(2) of the Treaty establishing the European Community concerning Lithuania’s plan to grant State aid to Lithuanian farmers for the purchase of State-owned agricultural land.

               (2)

               Due to insufficient agricultural incomes, it is difficult to improve the unfavourable area structure of Lithuanian agricultural holdings. In 2009, farms with an area of up to 5 hectares made up 52,5 % of all farms.

               (3)

               In 2009, the economic and financial crisis substantially decreased producer prices of agricultural products in Lithuania: in the first quarter, the producer prices of agricultural products declined by 27 % compared to the first quarter of 2008, by 25,3 % in the second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2008 and by 8 % in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2008. Crop producer prices have been especially significantly hit by this decrease: over the same reference period producer prices of crop products declined accordingly by 33,6 %, 35,7 % and 17,9 %.

               (4)

               At the end of 2008 and in 2009, in view of the lack of equity capital of farmers and the high interest rates applied by credit institutions on loans for the purchase of agricultural land, the prospects for farmers of taking out loans for investments such as the purchase of agricultural land at market conditions were drastically reduced. In the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009, credit interest rates on loans for the purchase of agricultural land varied between 9,51 % to 15,99 % per annum.

               (5)

               The State aid will be provided in two alternative forms: 1) by multiplying the market price of the purchased land by a weighting factor (0,6 or 0,75 for young farmers if all the conditions set in the aid scheme are fulfilled); 2) by selling the State-owned agricultural land on an instalment basis, in which case the aid corresponds to the difference between the actual interest rate paid by the purchaser, which is minimum 5 %, and the interest rate applied by the lending bank.

               (6)

               The State aid to be granted amounts to a maximum of LTL 55 million and should enable the purchase of a total of 370 000 hectares of agricultural land — in the form of a maximum of 300 hectares of agricultural land per purchaser — during the period from 2010 to 2013. The average amount of aid per holding should be approximately LTL 11 000. The land may be sold to natural persons who fulfil the following conditions: they have submitted a ‘single application’ in respect of the area-related aid schemes in accordance with Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 of 21 April 2004 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of cross-compliance, modulation and the integrated administration and control system provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (1) in the year preceding the year of submission of their application for State aid; they manage the farm accountancy; they have experience in practical farming and have a registered farm or they have experience in practical farming and hold a diploma in the area of agriculture or a document certifying vocational training in farming. The land may also be sold to legal persons, for which at least half of the annual income is made up of proceeds of sales of marketable agricultural products and for which there is proof of their economic viability.

               (7)

               State-owned agricultural land can be sold in instalments over a period of no longer than 15 years, the purchaser starting to pay as from the second year and paying 10 % of the price outright, except for young farmers under 40 years of age, who need only pay 5 %. The purchaser must meet the minimum standards of environment protection, hygiene and animal welfare.

               (8)

               No tendering procedure applies for State-owned agricultural land but the price is calculated according to the Lithuanian Law on Foundations of Property and Business Valuation, i.e. after evaluation of the properties of each land plot at market price. A weighting of 0,6 applies to the price so calculated if young farmers under 40 years of age who have used the land in question for at least 1 year, pay for it outright. A weighting of 0,75 applies in the case of young farmers under 40 years of age who have used the land in question for at least 1 year, pay for the land in instalments. The purchasers of State-owned land cannot change the main purpose of its use earlier than 5 years from the day of purchase. If either of the above weightings has been applied to the price of the land, the purchaser cannot transfer this property earlier than 5 years from the day of purchase.

               (9)

               The Commission has not at this stage initiated any procedure nor taken a position on the nature and compatibility of the aid.

               (10)

               Exceptional circumstances therefore exist, making it possible to consider such aid, by way of derogation and to the extent strictly necessary to finish land reform successfully and to improve the structure of farms and the efficiency of farming in Lithuania, to be compatible with the internal market,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Exceptional State aid by the Lithuanian authorities for loans for the purchase of State-owned agricultural land, amounting to a maximum of LTL 55 million and granted between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2013, shall be considered to be compatible with the internal market.
   Article 2
   This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Lithuania.

      Done at Brussels, 16 December 2009.

            For the Council

96/168/EC: Commission Decision of 19 February 1996 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of synthetic staple fibre fabric originating in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand

Official Journal L 042 , 20/02/1996 P. 0018 - 0019

COMMISSION DECISION of 19 February 1996 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of synthetic staple fibre fabric originating in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand (96/168/EC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (2), and in particular Article 23 thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 522/94 (4), and in particular Articles 5 and 9 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:I. PROCEDURE (1) In September 1993 the Commission received a complaint from the Committee of the Cotton and Allied Textile Industries of the EEC ('Eurocoton`) concerning imports of synthetic staple fibre fabric originating in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand. The complaint was lodged on behalf of producers of the product in question allegedly representing a major proportion of total synthetic staple fibre fabric output in the Community. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (5), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of fabric composed either totally or partially (more than 50 %) of synthetic staple fibres and falling within CN codes 5512 11, 5512 19, 5513, 5514 and 5515 11.(2) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.(3) Owing to the volume of information gathered and the complexity of the investigation, the proceeding exceeded the normal duration of one year as provided for in Article 7 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.II. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING (4) The complainant Community producers formally withdrew the complaint concerning imports of synthetic staple fibre fabric originating in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand. The Commission considered that a termination in this context would not be against the interest of the Community.(5) In these circumstances, the anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of synthetic staple fibre fabric originating in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand should be terminated without imposition of protective measures.(6) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.(7) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding and have been given the opportunity to comment,HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:Sole Article The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of synthetic staple fibre fabric originating in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand is hereby terminated.Done at Brussels, 19 February 1996.For the CommissionLeon BRITTANVice-President(1) OJ No L 349, 31. 12. 1994, p. 1.(2) OJ No L 122, 2. 6. 1995, p. 1.(3) OJ No L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1.(4) OJ No L 66, 10. 3. 1994, p. 10.(5) OJ No C 17, 20. 1. 1994, p. 4.

Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.(6) The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1251/2003(4), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of hollow sections, which consist of welded pipes, tubes and hollow profiles of a square or rectangular cross-section of iron or steel with the exception of those made of stainless steel or of a perimeter greater than 600 mm, falling within CN codes ex 7306 60 31 (TARIC code 7306 60 31 90 ) and ex 7306 60 39 (TARIC code 7306 60 39 90 ), originating in Turkey.B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING(7) By a letter of 31 October 2003 to the Commission, the complainant formally withdrew its complaint.(8) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.(9) The Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Community interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such termination would not be in the Community interest.(10) The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in Russia and Turkey should be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping measures.(11) Any duties provisionally secured on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2003 should be released,HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:Article 1The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of hollow sections, which consist of welded pipes, tubes and hollow profiles of a square or rectangular cross-section of iron or steel with the exception of those made of stainless steel or of a perimeter greater than 600 mm, falling within CN codes ex 7306 60 31 (TARIC code 7306 60 31 90 ) and ex 7306 60 39 (TARIC code 7306 60 39 90 ), originating in Russia and Turkey, is hereby terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping measures.Article 2Regulation (EC) No 1251/2003 is hereby repealed.Article 3The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2003 shall be released.Article 4This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.Done at Brussels, 15 December 2003.For the CommissionPascal LamyMember of the Commission(1) OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.(2) OJ L 305, 7.11.2002, p. 1.(3) OJ C 249, 16.10.2002, p. 5.(4) OJ L 175, 15.7.2003, p. 3.
