An emergency travel document (ETD), the common format of which is shown in Annex I is a travel document which may be issued for a single journey to the applicant's Member State of origin, country of permanent residence or, exceptionally, another destination. It may be issued to nationals of Member States on the authority of the State of which the person is a national.2. ETDs may be issued when all the following conditions are met:(a) the recipient must be a national of a Member State whose passport or travel document has been lost, stolen or destroyed or is temporarily unavailable, and(b) he/she is in the territory of a country where the person's Member State of origin has no accessible diplomatic or consular representation with the capacity to issue a travel document or, where that State is not otherwise represented, and(c) clearance from the authorities of the person's Member State of origin has been obtained.3. Applicants for ETDs should complete an application form and send it together with photocopies certified as true copies by the diplomatic post of any available proof of identity and nationality, to an authority designated to that effect of the applicant's Member State of origin. This need not necessarily be the nearest one if another authority in the area would be more appropriate. The issuing post will collect from the applicant and will retain such charges and fees as would normally be levied by them for issuing an emergency passport. Applicants with insufficient funds to cover other local related expenditure will receive, where appropriate, the necessary funds in accordance with instructions given by the Member State of origin at the time of the application.4. An ETD should be made valid for barely longer than the minimum period required for completion of the journey for which it is issued. In calculating this period, allowances should be made for necessary overnight stops and for making travel connections.5. For recording purposes, a photocopy of each document issued should be kept at the issuing post and another should be sent to the authority of the applicant's Member State of origin.6. Each Member State may extend the application of these rules to other persons connected with it and whom it is willing to admit.ANNEX III SECURITY MEASURES FOR EMERGENCY TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Emergency travel documents (ETDs) shall be produced and issued in compliance with the following security measures:1. Size open: 18 × 13 cm,folded: 9 × 13 cm.2. Paper ETDs shall be printed on security paper, free of optical brighteners (approximately 90 g/m²), using a standard 'CHAIN WIRES` watermark legally protected for the manufacturer of the document, with two invisible fibres (blue and yellow, SSI/05) fluorescent under ultraviolet light and reagents against chemical erasure.3. Numbering system Each Member State shall provide the documents with a centralized numbering system, combined with the initials of the issuing Member State, as follows:>TABLE>The number shall be printed in letterpress on pages 1 and 4 of the document, using OCR-B characters, in black colour with green fluorescence under UV light.4. Attaching the bearer's photograph The bearer's photograph must be securely attached to the document so as to prevent easy removal. The photograph shall be laminated in accordance with national practice, it being understood that Member States shall take the necessary steps to ensure an appropriate level of security for the document.5. Entry of the bearer's personal details There shall be a consistent approach to the entry of the bearer's personal details on the ETD form. These details shall be entered in either handwritten or typewritten form, and shall be covered with a laminate.6. Seal of the issuing authority When an ETD is issued, the seal of the issuing authority shall be affixed partly on the document and partly on the bearer's photograph.7. Additional security features ETDs shall have a guilloche protective background with indirect letterpress printing in four colours on the pages where data is to be entered with due consideration to iridescent printing.The following printing technology shall be used:- INTAGLIO, recto including text on page 1, latent image and microprint in blue reflex ink,- OFFSET, recto and verso, in two colours and IRIS,- 1st: text, in blue reflex,- 2nd: antiscanner background, in light blue,- 3rd: guilloche background with IRIS effect in two colours, green and violet, the second one with yellow fluorescence under UV light.The inks used shall be copy-resistant and any attempt to make a colour copy shall result in clearly recognizable colour deviations. Moreover, at least one colour shall contain fluorescent agents. The inks shall also contain reagents against chemical erasure.8. Printing forms Multicoloured processed guilloche background printing forms specially designed for this document with integrated microtypes shall be used.9. Storage of blank ETD forms In order to minimize the risk of forgery or counterfeiting, all Member States shall ensure theft-proof storage of blank ETD forms.

         COUNCIL DECISION 2012/662/CFSP
   of 25 October 2012
   in support of activities to reduce the risk of illicit trade in, and excessive accumulation of, Small Arms and Light Weapons in the region covered by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 26(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 15-16 December 2005, the European Council adopted the EU Strategy to combat the illicit accumulation of and trafficking in small arms and light weapons (SALW) and their ammunition (EU SALW Strategy). That Strategy underlined that, in order to minimise the risk posed by the illicit trade in and excessive accumulation of SALW, particular attention should be paid to the enormous accumulations of SALW stockpiled in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, and the ways by which they are disseminated in conflict zones.

               (2)

               The EU SALW Strategy identifies among its objectives the fostering of effective multilateralism so as to forge mechanisms, whether international, regional or within the Union and its Member States, for countering the supply and destabilising spread of SALW and their ammunition. In its Action Plan, the Strategy singles out the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) as one of the regional organisations with which cooperation should be developed. In particular it contains dedicated provisions on the support to be provided to the OSCE action to combat the illicit trade in SALW and their ammunition and the destruction of OSCE Participating States' (‘Participating States’) surplus stocks.

               (3)

               On 24 November 2000, the Participating States adopted the OSCE SALW Document that committed them to establishing and implementing effective national controls on transfers of SALW, including export and brokering controls. That Document also emphasises the destabilising effects that the excessive accumulation of SALW and poor stockpile management and security can have on national, regional and international security. It identifies destruction as the preferred method for the disposal of surplus SALW.

               (4)

               On 26 May 2010, Participating States adopted the OSCE Plan of Action on SALW, where reference is made, inter alia, to the need to establish or reinforce the legal framework of Participating States for lawful brokering activities, to strengthen commitments on the stockpile management and security of SALW, and to strengthen Participating States’ commitment to destroy surplus and illicit SALW, and means to improve their capacity for the destruction of surplus and illicit SALW.

               (5)

               On 23 June 2003, the Council adopted Common Position 2003/468/CFSP on the control of arms brokering (1), requiring Member States to take all necessary measures, including a clear legal framework for lawful brokering activities, to control brokering activities taking place within their territory, and encouraging them to consider controlling brokering activities outside of their territory carried out by brokers of their nationality resident or established in their territory.

               (6)

               On 8 December 2008, the Council adopted Common Position 2008/944/CFSP defining common rules governing control of exports of military technology and equipment (2). Common Position 2008/944/CFSP establishes a set of criteria that guide Member States in the assessment of conventional arms export, re-export and brokering applications. It requires Member States to use their best endeavours to encourage other States, which export military technology or equipment, to apply the criteria of that Common Position,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

                           —

                           the introduction of SALW inventory software to improve stockpile management, record keeping and tracing of weapons;

               (b)

      ANNEX
      1.   Objectives

      The overall objective of this Decision is the promotion of peace and security in the neighbourhood of the Union, by reducing the threat posed by the illicit trade in and excessive accumulation of SALW in the OSCE region. This Decision also aims at promoting effective multilateralism at regional level by supporting the action of the OSCE to prevent the excessive accumulation of, and the illicit trade in, SALW and their ammunition. Such activities include the destruction of SALW surpluses in the OSCE region, improvement of security and management of weapons stockpiles, development of appropriate tools for record keeping of weapons, and enhancement of conventional arms transfer controls, in particular brokering.

                  —

                  Organisation by the OSCE Secretariat of a three-day regional workshop for relevant state officials from up to 15 Participating States.

            Representatives of relevant international and regional organisations, and other experts, including experts from the Union, will participate in the event. Up to 70 participants will attend the event. The detailed concept paper and agenda of the event will be developed by the OSCE Secretariat, in coordination with the HR and relevant Council bodies.
      2.1.3.   Expected results of the project

                  —

                  Improved brokering controls on SALW in Participating States invited to participate in the workshop;

                  —

                  Reduced risks of illegal brokering activities and illegal trade in SALW, and consequently improved security for populations, groups and individuals adversely affected by the illegal trade in SALW.

            2.1.4.   Seminar venues

      The OSCE Secretariat will propose potential venues for the regional seminar, which will then be endorsed by the HR, in consultation with the competent Council bodies.
      2.1.5.   Project beneficiaries

                  —

                  State officials and national authorities of Participating States responsible for SALW transfer controls;

                  —

                  Populations, groups and individuals adversely affected by the illegal trade in SALW.

            2.2.   Security upgrades of stockpile depots of conventional weapons and ammunition in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan

      2.2.1.   Objective of the project

                  —

                  To improve security and stockpile management in up to two SALW storage sites in Belarus, and up to three SALW storage sites in Kyrgyzstan;

                  —

                  To contribute to improved security in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, and to reduce the risk of illicit trade in SALW.

            2.2.2.   Description of the project

                  —

                  Upgrading of security systems in up to two SALW storage sites in Belarus, in accordance with OSCE Best Practices on SALW, including through the installation and/or refurbishment of necessary electrical installations, primary fire-fighting capability, perimeter fencing and lighting, intruder detection and alarm systems, as well as telecommunications equipment for enhanced security;

                  —

                  Improvement and/or establishment of up to three SALW storage sites in Kyrgyzstan, in accordance with OSCE Best Practices on SALW, including through installation and/or refurbishment of perimeter fencing and lightning, secure storage building doors and windows, intruder alarm systems, close circuit television cameras (CCTV) and telecommunications equipment.

            The OSCE Secretariat and the UNDP Belarus Office will identify in cooperation with relevant Belarusian and Kyrgyz authorities the storage sites in need of security upgrades and will define the exact sites to be upgraded with the support of this Decision, in consultation with the HR and competent Council bodies. All activities except those related to upgrades of SALW storage sites in Belarus will be implemented by the OSCE Secretariat. In Belarus, the activities will be implemented by the UNDP Belarus Office because the OSCE does not have an appropriate representation and legal status in Belarus and also because the implementation of this part of the project by the UNDP Belarus Office is more cost-effective in comparison to a Vienna-based project management by the OSCE. The role of the OSCE in the overall project coordination and implementation oversight related to the selection of storage sites and safety and security measures to be implemented, annual work plans, quality control of completed works and the national contribution of the government of Belarus will remain. The Governments of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan will provide support to the project through financial contribution and/or in-kind contribution, as appropriate.
      2.2.3.   Expected results of the project

                  —

                  Improved physical security and stockpile management of up to two SALW storage sites in Belarus, and up to three SALW storage sites in Kyrgyzstan;

                  —

                  Reduction of the risk of illicit trade in SALW and conventional arms, and improvement of security in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

            2.2.4.   Beneficiaries of the project

                  —

                  Ministries of Defence in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan;

                  —

                  Populations, groups and individuals adversely affected by the illegal trade in SALW.

            2.3.   Destruction of surplus SALW in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan to prevent their diversion to illegal trade

            The Governments of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan will provide support to the project through provision of facilities and equipment, and in-kind contribution, as appropriate. All activities except those related to upgrades of SALW storage sites in Belarus will be implemented by the OSCE Secretariat.
      In Belarus, the activities related to upgrades of SALW storage sites will be implemented by the UNDP Belarus Office because the OSCE does not have an appropriate representation and legal status in Belarus and also because the implementation of this part of the project by the UNDP Office Belarus is more cost-effective in comparison to a Vienna-based project management by the OSCE. The role of the OSCE in the overall project coordination and implementation oversight related to the selection of storage sites and safety and security measures to be implemented, annual work plans, quality control of completed works and the national contribution of the government of Belarus will remain.

         DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
   of 18 July 2012
   repealing Decision ECB/2012/3 on the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic in the context of the Hellenic Republic’s debt exchange offer
   (ECB/2012/14)
   (2012/433/EU)
   THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,
   Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular the first indent of Article 3.1, Article 12.1, Article 18 and the second indent of Article 34.1,
   Having regard to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1), and in particular Section 1.6 and Sections 6.3.1 and 6.3.2 of Annex I thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro may conduct credit operations with credit institutions and other market participants, with lending being based on adequate collateral. The criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations are laid down in Annex I to the Guideline ECB/2011/14.

               (2)

               Pursuant to Section 1.6 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Governing Council may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations. Pursuant to Section 6.3.1 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Eurosystem reserves the right to determine whether an issue, issuer, debtor or guarantor fulfils its requirements for high credit standards on the basis of any information it may consider relevant.

               (3)

               In the context of the debt exchange offer launched by the Hellenic Republic to the holders of marketable debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the Greek Government, on 24 February 2012 a collateral enhancement in the form of a buy-back scheme to underpin the quality of marketable debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic was provided for the benefit of the national central banks.

               (4)

               As an exceptional measure, Decision ECB/2012/3 of 5 March 2012 on the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic in the context of the Hellenic Republic’s debt exchange offer (2) temporarily suspended the Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality thresholds applicable to marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic, declaring them eligible for the duration of the collateral enhancement.

               (5)

               Upon termination of the collateral enhancement, given that the adequacy as collateral of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic is currently not ensured, the Governing Council has decided that the Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold specified in Section 6.3.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14 should apply in respect of such instruments.

               (6)

               Decision ECB/2012/3 should therefore be repealed,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Repeal of Decision ECB/2012/3
   Decision ECB/2012/3 is repealed.
   Article 2
   Entry into force
   This Decision shall enter into force on 25 July 2012.

               having regard to the Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3), and in particular Article 185 thereof,

               —

               having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency (4), and in particular Article 60 thereof,

               —

               having regard to Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002 of 19 November 2002 on the framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (5), and in particular Article 94 thereof,

               —

               having regard to Rule 71 of, and Annex V to, its Rules of Procedure,

               —

               having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on Transport and Tourism (A6-0163/2009),

               A.

               whereas the Court of Auditors (ECA) stated that it has obtained reasonable assurance that the annual accounts for the financial year 2007 are reliable, and the underlying transactions are legal and regular,

               B.

               whereas on 22 April 2008 Parliament granted the Executive Director of the European Aviation Safety Agency discharge in respect of the implementation of the Agency’s budget for the financial year 2006 (6), and in its resolution accompanying the discharge decision, inter alia:

                           —

                           noted the ECA’s insistence that the Agency, in cooperation with the Commission, must review the current fees scheme in order to ensure that its costs for certification activities are justified and covered by its fees,

                           —

                           called on the Agency and the Commission to review the Agency’s fee structure to bring costs and revenue for certification activities into balance,

                           —

                           noted the Agency’s reply that the fees and charges regulation (7), which entered into force on 1 June 2007, should generate revenue sufficient to cover the cost of certification activities,

                           —

                           called on the Agency to implement an effective claim management system, possibly including interest for late payments;

               1.

               Notes that the Agency had EUR 72 045 000 in commitment and payment appropriations from the 2007 budget;

               2.

               Notes the ECA’s observation that the 2007 establishment plan consisted of 467 temporary posts, but that budget appropriations for staff expenditure did not cover actual staff costs for these posts and that, as a consequence, the Agency agreed with the Commission to reduce the number of its posts to a maximum of 342, of which 333 were filled at the year-end;

               3.

               Notes the Agency’s reply that the reduction of staff was due to the fact that during the first two years of implementation of its fees and charges regulation, revenue was insufficient to cover forecasted costs; notes that the Agency refers to a staff policy plan 2008-2010, agreed with the Commission, in which the reduction of staff is reflected;

               4.

               Observes that the imbalance between costs and revenue highlighted in the previous discharge resolution triggered a need to reduce the planned number of staff by 25 %, from 467 to a maximum of 342;

               5.

               Expects the Agency to include information in its annual accounts for the financial year 2008 on how far a balance between costs and revenue in relation to certification activities could be achieved through implementation of the new fees and charges regulation;

               6.

               Notes the ECA’s criticism that the changes concerning the staffing of the Agency in 2007 were not reflected in the establishment plan, which was not amended accordingly;

               7.

               Fully supports the ECA’s recommendation that the Agency carefully check the consistency of its expenditure forecasts, which form the basis of decisions of the budgetary authority, in particular with regard to staff costs; requests the Agency to ensure that the establishment plan corresponds to the actual situation;

               8.

               Notes that the ECA and the Agency disagree over the calculation of an amount of EUR 14 900 000 in assigned revenue received by the Agency in 2007 to cover future certification costs; notes the ECA’s view that the Agency erroneously included fees levied under the former fees and charges regulation in its calculation; notes that the Agency provided an explanation for its calculation, stating that it was entitled to include those fees in its calculation according to its basic regulation;

               9.

               Notes the ECA’s criticism of several audited procurement procedures; notes that the ECA found one procedure, in which bidders received incomplete information on the award criteria and their evaluation, to be untransparent; notes the ECA’s statement that in three cases the restricted procedure was applied although there should have been an open call for tender as the overall value of the services exceeded the threshold;

               10.

               Requests that the Agency stick to the promise given in its replies to comply strictly with the procurement rules and to pay particular attention to the provision of clear information to potential bidders;

               11.

               Urges the Commission to ensure that the Agency maintains strict financial discipline in the future and always works within the agreed budgets;

               12.

               Refers for other observations accompanying its Decision on discharge which are of a horizontal nature to its Resolution of 23 April 2009 on financial management and control of EU agencies (8).

Official Journal C 075 , 19/09/1973 P. 0010 - 0011 Spanish special edition: Chapter 05 Volume 2 P. 0013  Portuguese special edition Chapter 05 Volume 2 P. 0013

DECISION No 80  of 22 February 1973  concerning the interpretation of Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 relating to aggregation of insurance periods completed in an occupation subject to a special scheme in one or more Member States   THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS;  Having regard to Article 81 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 under which it is made responsible for dealing with all questions of interpretation arising from the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71;  Whereas Decision No 50 published in the Official Journal of the European Communities No 53 of 28 March 1964 has been rendered unvalid by the entry into force of Regulations (EEC) Nos 1408/71 and 574/72, but, taking into account the provisions of the said Regulations, there are ground for reaching a new decision;  Whereas it is in fact essential to know whether the schemes for mineworkers in various Member States are "corresponding schemes" within the meaning of Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, in order to determine whether the insurance periods completed by virtue of those schemes must be aggregated without verifying the nature of the occupation in which the said periods were completed;  Whereas Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 stipulates that where the legislation of a Member State makes the award of certain benefits conditional upon the completion of the insurance periods in an occupation subject to a special scheme, the only insurance periods to be aggregated for eligibility for such benefits shall be periods completed under corresponding schemes of other Member States and periods completed in the same occupation under other schemes of the said Member States;  Whereas the "corresponding schemes" referred to in Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 are special schemes in Member States for workers in a similar occupation;  Whereas the special schemes for mineworkers in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and Luxembourg meet these criteria, after deliberation in the light of the conditions laid down in Article 80 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71;  HAS DECIDED:        1.  The special schemes for mineworkers in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and Luxembourg are corresponding schemes within the meaning of Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71. 2. Consequently insurance periods completed by virtue of the said special schemes for mineworkers must be taken into consideration for the purpose of their aggregation in accordance with Article 45 (2) first sentence of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, as determined by those schemes, irrespective of their actual area of application and without verification of the nature of the occupation in which the said periods were completed.    3. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply to the six Founder Member States as from 1 October 1972 and, in accordance with the Treaty of Accession, as from 1 April 1973 for the three new Member States.      The President of the Administrative Commission  J. DONIS
