text: C 60/28 DE Amtsblatt der Europa¤ischen Gemeinschaften 25. 2. 98 So hat sie es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, fa¤llige Betra¤ge binnen 60 Tagen auszuzahlen. Diese Frist beginnt an dem Tag, an dem eine Rechnung oder ein ordnungsgema¤(cid:223) erstellter Auszahlungsantrag bei ihren Dienststellen eingeht, und endet an dem Tag, an dem ihr Bankkonto belastet wird. Das Datum des Rechnungseingangs wird von der anweisungsbefugten Dienststelle automatisch im zentralen Buchfu¤hrungssystem erfa(cid:223)t, so da(cid:223) jede Dienststelle anhand statistischer Daten nachpru¤fen kann, inwieweit sie die ihr gesetzten Zahlungsfristen eingehalten hat. Die fu¤r das letzte abgeschlossene Haushaltsjahr › d. h. 1996 › vorliegenden Daten zeigen, da(cid:223) die Frist von 60 Tagen im Durchschnitt eingehalten wurde. Der Kommission ist nicht bekannt, da(cid:223) im Zusammenhang mit den Zahlungen an portugiesiche Ko¤rperschaften oder Vereinigungen besondere Probleme aufgetreten wa¤ren. Sie weist den Herrn Abgeordneten jedoch darauf hin, da(cid:223) die › von ihr eingehaltenen › Zahlungsfristen enden, sobald eine Auszahlungsanordnung zu Lasten eines ihrer Konten erfa(cid:223)t worden ist. Die Kommission wickelt fast alle ihre Zahlungen u¤ber das Netz SWIFT ab. Die Praxis zeigt, da(cid:223) die auf diese Weise u¤berwiesenen Betra¤ge innerhalb der folgenden 2 bis 4 Arbeitstage der als Empfa¤nger benannten Beho¤rde gutgeschrieben werden. Die Kommission hat allerdings keinen Einflu(cid:223) darauf, wie die Gemeinschaftsmittel gegebenenfalls auf Veranlassung der nationalen Beho¤rde weitergeleitet werden. Die Kommission fordert den Herrn Abgeordneten auf, ihr die ihm bekannt gewordenen Fa¤lle mitzuteilen, in denen sich die Zahlungen u¤berma¤(cid:223)ig verzo¤gert haben sollen. Sie wird jeden dieser Fa¤lle eingehend pru¤fen. (98/C 60/53) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-1572/97 von Amedeo Amadeo (NI) an die Kommission (6. Mai 1997) Betrifft: Diskriminierung aufgrund des Alters Die Europa¤ische Union ko¤nnte schon bald Ma(cid:223)nahmen gegen die Diskriminierung aus Altersgru¤nden ergreifen, wenn die Vorschla¤ge fu¤r eine Reform, die bei der Regierungskonferenz ero¤rtert wurden, von allen Mitgliedstaaten im Juni angenommen werden. Um dieses neue Recht zu garantieren, soll angeblich ein neuer Artikel u¤ber die Diskriminierung (6 a) in den Vertrag aufgenommen werden, der auch die Diskriminierung aus Gru¤nden des Geschlechts, der Rasse, der ethnischen oder sozialen Herkunft, der religio¤sen U¤ berzeugung, der Invalidita¤t und der sexuellen Vorlieben abdeckt. Das Thema ist von gro(cid:223)er Aktualita¤t angesichts der a¤u(cid:223)erst schwierigen Bescha¤ftigungslage und der Tatsache, da(cid:223) das Durchschnittsalter der Bu¤rger in Europa quasi exponentiell zunimmt. Kann die Kommission mitteilen, ob diese in verschiedenen Presseorganen erschienenen Spekulationen den Tatsachen entsprechen? Antwort von Herrn Santer im Namen der Kommission (23.

text: C 60/28 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee 25. 2. 98 Essa si e‘ prefissa che i pagamenti vengano realizzati entro 60 giorni tra la data alla quale una regolare fattura o richiesta di pagamento perviene ai suoi servizi e la data di addebito del suo conto bancario. La data di ricevimento della fattura deve essere obbligatoriamente registrata dal servizio ordinatore nel sistema contabile centrale; cio‘ permette di disporre di dati statistici, grazie ai quali ogni servizio puo‘ misurare la propria conformita‘ di rispettare i termini d(cid:146)esecuzione dei pagamenti. I dati relativi alla chiusura dell(cid:146)ultimo esercizio (1996), dimostrano che il termine di 60 giorni viene mediamente rispettato. La Commissione non e‘ a conoscenza di problemi specifici legati ai pagamenti a favore di enti o associazioni portoghesi. Essa fa pero‘ notare all(cid:146)onorevole parlamentare che i termini che misura › e sui quali e‘ in grado di avere un controllo › si chiudono con la registrazione dell(cid:146)ordine di pagamento mediante addebito di uno dei suoi conti finanziari. La Commissione utilizza la rete SWIFT per l(cid:146)esecuzione di quasi tutti i suoi pagamenti. La pratica mostra che con questo sistema i fondi trasferiti vengono messi a disposizione dell(cid:146)organismo beneficiario entro un termine che puo‘ variare da 2 a 4 giorni lavorativi. L(cid:146)eventuale ridistribuzione dei fondi comunitari cui procede ulteriormente l(cid:146)autorita‘ nazionale sfugge pero‘ al controllo della Commissione. La Commissione invita l(cid:146)onorevole parlamentare a comunicarle i casi specifici cui alludeva e nei quali, apparentemente, si sarebbero verificati grandi ritardi. Essa esaminera‘ attentamente ogni singolo caso.

The European Single Market is the world's largest domestic market. It has contributed significantly to growth, competitiveness and employment. It has been responsible for an increase in EU income of between 1. 1% and 1. 5% between and for 300. 000 and 900. 000 jobs but its potential is still to be realised. Barriers still stand in the way. Europe needs a better Single Market for more growth, more innovation and more jobs, a that works for everyone - market citizens, consumers, small companies - a dynamic, and larger business socially knowledge-based market, the to sensitive responsible concerns of everyone affected by it. A consolidated and properly functioning Single Market will help to ensure a transition to the single currency in the most favourable conditions and will contribute to a successful enlargement. The Commission's 1996 Report on the Impact and Effectiveness of the Single Market contains recommendations on what still needs to be done. The received a very wide Report has degree of support from Member States. The political will is evident. This needs to be translated into targeted action. and - seeking 2. The Single Market is not simply an economic structure. At its heart are 370 million better people employment opportunities, improved living and working conditions, and a wider choice of quality products and services for including everyone to services of general interest - at lower prices. The Single Market is working in their interests. Much has already been achieved. Individuals already enjoy the right to move and the Union. The throughout work Single Market sets basic standards of health and safety, equal opportunities access through and labour law. However, more needs to be done to enforce these rights effectively. In addition, social policy the process of must help smooth interplay change, promoting a new between flexibility and security, for example appropriate information and consultation.

Doing business, making the in living or working moving, Union's internal "area without frontiers" should become as easy as within any Member State. information: confidence is committed 4. The Action Plan announced the performance of in the conclusions of the Dublin European the clear objective of Council has improving the Single Market in the years ahead. The third stage of EMU represents a critical juncture, at which the Single Market must provide underlying economic support for monetary union and the I. "! Euro will provide added value and efficiency to the Single Market. The actions proposed are ambitious. It will take considerable political will to carry them through. Time is short. But if we succeed, confidence will improve and Europe will have a Single Market capable of generating more growth and more jobs, while safeguarding the European social model. The final version of the Action Plan will be put to the European Council in Amsterdam when the Council will be invited: to make a firm commitment to the full execution of this Action Plan before 1 January 1999 and the start of the third stage of EMU; • to provide for the necessary priority treatment of any legislative proposals in (a "fast-track" approach) ; the Action Plan • to review progress at each meeting of the European Council in the run-up to December 1998. The Commission will regularly publish and draw to the attention of each Internal Market Council and European Council a "Single Market Scoreboard" containing detailed indicators of the state of the Single Market and of Member States' level the Action of commitment to fulfilling Plan. THE DRAFT ACTION PLAN: FOUR STRATEGIC TARGETS Plan follows The Action the Commission's report on the Impact and Effectiveness of the Single Market. It sets priorities to allow a clear and strategic vision of what is now needed. At this stage, four Strategic Targets have been identified. They are of equal importance and must be pursued in parallel: 1 Making the rules more effective: The Single Market must be based on Proper enforcement of confidence. is the only way to common rules achieve this goal. Simplification of rules at Community and national level is also essential to reduce the burden on business and create more jobs. course, new ones - are removed. This may require legislative action to fill gaps in the Single Market framework, but also calls for a significant change in national administrations' attitudes towards the Single Market. freedom generates personal 4. Delivering a Single Market for the benefit of all citizens: The Single employment, Market increases and benefits consumers, while ensuring high levels of both health and safety and environmental protection. But further steps are needed. And to enjoy their Single Market rights to the full, citizens must be aware of these rights and be able to obtain redress. 2. Dealing key with market general There distortions: agreement that tax barriers and anti competitive constitute distortions that need to be tackled. behaviour is 3. Removing sectoral obstacles to integration: The Single market Market will only deliver full potential if remaining barriers - and, of its each target, strategic identified a the Within Commission has limited number of specific actions to be achieved by I January 1999 (a list is given in the Annex). This is a selective approach, but in other areas clearly to consolidate the Single Market will be pursued. action Action 1: Put agreed Single Market legislation into force Only 65% of Single Market rules are fully operational in all 15 Member States. The Single Market clearly cannot function optimally in these conditions. Member States will be called on to submit their detailed timetable and to demonstrate political commitment to eliminate, by 1 January 1999 at the latest, any delay in transposition. The Single Market Scoreboard will be used to keep track of progress. Meanwhile the Commission will continue pursue infringement procedures against Member States which fail in these obligations using, where necessary, the possibilities of sanctions against Member States. vigorously to Action 2: Establish a framework for enforcement and problem-solving to The consumers. Single Market Problems need to be sorted out quickly in today's avoid undermining of confidence of business informal and arrangements for cooperation between Member States and between them and the Commission have proved only partly successful and now need to be upgraded. The Commission will therefore press each Member State to designate a coordination centre within administration its that any for ensuring responsible problems raised by other Member States or the Commission are solved by the authorities directly concerned within strict deadlines. This will be a key component in a simple but effective framework for enforcement cooperation, which will also provide; for more transparency about enforcement structures and peer review or mutual audit of national enforcement. Telematic links between enforcement authorities will be further developed under the second IDA programme. The Commission intends to submit serious cases of non-application to the Internal STRATEGIC TARGET 1: MAKING THE RULES MORE EFFECTIVE ensure Market Council strong to commitment and involvement in problem solving at political level and. in parallel, will treatment of infringement procedures. Strengthening of the Commission's enforcement powers under the Treaty would be desirable to further reduce delays in problem solving. accelerate its Action 3: Strengthen checks on products At present the checks that are carried out on compliance with product rules are uneven and could compromise consumer protection and fair competition. The legislative Commission will make proposals to strengthen common rules for market surveillance by, for example, providing for joint inspection schemes or more detailed inspection procedures in areas that will include industrial and consumer foodstuffs, products, pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Scientific expertise, which is important for the application of the legislation to market surveillance, must be mobilized and used more widely for legislative purposes at Community level. linked and Action 4: Better access for business to the right information Access to information is essential to ensure that businesses are aware of opportunities in the Single Market, how to exploit them and how to solve problems. Information must be made accessible rapidly and in user-friendly ways. The Commission will set up an Internet shop for information on all Single Market to regulations affecting business, complement and be coordinated with the Euro Info Centres, which have been assigned a "first-stop" objective under the multi-annual programme for SMEs (1997- 2000). This service will be part of the Europa Website and will also be linked to the Member States' Websites. Businesses will be able to provide feedback on their experience on the ground. Action 5: National and Community rules must be simplified and improved is Over-regulation the enemy of job creation - the Union's top priority. Over- complex rules, most of them national, impose unnecessary costs on operators. The Commission will set up a permanent rolling programme of simplification and improvement of Single Market legislation, combining SLIM and other simplification exercises. It will include VAT, banking, fertilizers, insurance consumer services, telecommunications, customs rules and procedures and possibly other sectors, including company law. The Commission will undertake pilot projects consultation improve procedures with business regarding the implementing certain new costs of legislative including proposals, consultation of a European Business Test Panel. securities, and to to Member States will be called upon to commit parallel a themselves including programme of simplification, the comprehensive use of more regulatory impact analysis procedures and to simplify national regulatory and administrative procedures for business start-ups. Businesses and citizens' organisations will be invited to alert the Commission to national rules which they consider to be abnormally The Commission will publicize and take up the most significant cases with the Member State concerned. burdensome. Action 6: Tackle weaknesses in the existing legal framework There are a number of areas where the existing Single Market framework needs to be improved. The Commission intends, as a priority, to propose action in the following areas: • public procurement: action will be the following proposed on consultation undertaken publication of the Green Paper; the basis of • application of the mutual recognition principle: Member States and the Commission will need to cooperate closely on cases of non- recognition made under Council Decision 3052/95 and ensure that adequate political attention is given, including at Council the effective application of the principle of mutual recognition; level, to • European standardization: a new to given will impulsion be standardization policy; • conformity marking of products: a re-evaluation of CE marking will be undertaken in view of the proliferation of national marks; • construction products: modifications will be proposed to the construction products Directive to ensure its effective operation; • transit rules: computerisation of transit procedures is needed in order to reduce fraud and the administrative burden on business; • the and Single Market the environment: the Commission will produce guidelines on how Single Market policy can further contribute to sustainable development and how any potential conflicts between Single Market and environment policies can be remedied. Action 11 Remove tax distortions Tax barriers and distortions to the Single Market have not yet been tackled with tax sufficient determination. Harmful increases Member States' competition difficulties tax in restructuring systems and delays progress towards a more coherent tax system within the Union. A co-ordinated approach is essential. Member States, by acting together, can tackle this issue. their Member States will therefore be asked to agree to a tax package designed to achieved a balance their interests comprising: between • the elimination of distortions in the in capital taxation of particular, through adoption of a modified proposal for a Directive on the taxation of savings; income, • the elimination of tax obstacles to cross-border economic activity, in particular by eliminating withholding taxes on interest and royalty payments between companies; • a code of conduct designed to tackle harmful tax competition that causes difficulties for every Member State. the scope and In this context, the Commission will also clarify the coherence application of the Community competition rules, including rules on state aids. improve of Progress on this package should help Member States to make their tax systems employment-friendly, become more reducing the burden on labour and thereby promoting job creation. Further work is also needed on removing double taxation of frontier workers. DEALING WITH KEY MARKET DISTORTIONS STRATEGIC TARGET 2: Action 2: Create a common system for value-added tax: for the The current VAT system imposes an excessive burden on business and discourages cross-frontier trade. The Council and Parliament are invited to adopt the proposals modernization and a more coherent and uniform application of the tax together advance with administrative among Member States and to engage as quickly as possible in the process of change to the radically simpler origin-based VAT system proposed by the Commission. to cooperation proposals the Action 3: Restructure the Community framework for the taxation of energy products At present, only mineral oils are subject to a Community system for minimum taxation. For other products, Member States are free to tax at the rate of their choice or to apply no tax at all. This leads the different to distortions between the sources of energy and between Member States. For this reason the Council is called upon to adopt the the Commission's Community minimum rate system be widened to all energy products and that there should be a gradual approximation of national rates of taxation for all energy products. proposal that Action 4: A rigorous approach to competition policy The rigorous application of competition policy is essential to ensure that anti competitive practices on the part of companies or national authorities do not choke off the competitive dynamics of the single market. The volume of state aids granted in the EU remains at worryingly high levels, representing annually 95 billion ECU and -. -. _ 9 _ between 0. 4 and 2. 6% of GDP in the different Member States during the 1992- 1994 period. In addition, 85% of aid to industry is accounted for by 4 important economies of the Union. As well as being a source of distortion of competition, the level of aid weighs on public high the budgets and efficient functioning of the Single Market. Inasmuch as aids tend to concentrate on large enterprises they also damage the competitive position of SMEs. risks endangering Commission action alone is not sufficient. A dialogue with the Member States to fix precise objectives and a timetable for the reduction of overall aid budgets appears therefore as a necessary complement to the Commission's action. To redress the negative the present situation, the Commission will propose new guidelines on regional aids aiming at reducing regional disparities by concentrating aid in the poorest regions and levels to better take account of the socio-economic It will situation impact on cohesion of the maximum lowering region. each of of on regional large resources on assessment of concentrate the those aid cases which represent the greatest threat to competition and the Single Market, functioning is aid particularly where concentrated investment projects.

Action will be taken the most serious infringements and to decentralise the application of the competition rules to the Member States as far as possible without endangering level playing field within the Single Market. the STRATEGIC TARGET 3: REMOVING SECTORAL OBSTACLES TO MARKET INTEGRATION Action 1: Break down the barriers in service markets to Service markets account for 70% of Union GDP but they are less integrated than other markets. In financial sen/ices, the lack of a real Single Market for investment funds is a major handicap for Europe's potential into channel investments. Far-reaching productive steps are required. The Commission will propose directive on framework Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) to tackle the remaining obstacles. Member States are called upon to adopt the directive by the January 1999 deadline. savings a impose Some Member States strict quantitative rules on the investments of pension funds. These result in lower returns which raise indirect labour costs (and thus reduce job creation) and reduce 10 the potential of a European capital market. EMU will make currency matching restrictions irrelevant. Member States are called upon to move towards the elimination of these restrictions in anticipation of the introduction of the to Euro. Further work is also needed improve to the availability of capital SMEs. the need full account of The balanced opening of public utilities, taking to promote access for everyone to services of general interest, will contribute to a better overall allocation of resources. The liberalization of gas supplies has to be agreed. The Community Institutions and the Member States must ensure that the national measures required to implement agreed in telecommunications and electricity are that networks are taken time and , effectively open to competition. opening market in railway services, In transport, priority will be given to opening up access to the provision of crossborder and railfreight freeways. In the air transport the field, new rules for charges and allocation of slots at Community airports institutional and the creation of new traffic structures for air safety and air management are essential for effective market integration. Action 2: Improve the business environment for cross-frontier operations Companies incur unnecessary costs and delays by having to comply with different national registration rules when operating in more than one Member State. The Commission calls upon the Council to adopt, by 1 January 1999, its proposals on the Tenth Company Law Directive on mergers and on the European Company the the Statute, recommendations of the group chaired by Viscount Davignon. light of in Increasingly long payment periods have serious consequences for all European firms, in particular SMEs whose cash-flow, profitability and competitiveness and opportunities to trade across frontiers are undermined. SMEs' competitive position as suppliers to larger particular, In firms is often distorted by deliberately long payment delays by the latter. The public sector should also set a better example. The Commission will publish a little report shortly which shows action has been taken by Member States to reduce the this problem, and payments situation is getting worse. In the absence of sufficient action by Member States before the end of the year, the Commission will propose a draft directive to reduce late payments in Europe. that that Action 3: Face the challenge of technology and new innovation transparency mechanism Electronic commerce offers enormous opportunities for cross-border trading in Europe. A clear regulatory framework will give consumers the confidence to use it and businesses the incentive to make the necessary investments. The Commission seeks early agreement on its proposal for a as recent Electronic indicated Commerce it will make proposals on distance-selling of financial services, copyright, digital signatures and conditional access services.

In order to remedy this situation and to give full value to citizenship of the Union, the Commission will propose, inter alia, ll arrangements for short-term residents and adaptation of the right to reside and to remain in the host Member State. Member States are called upon to act swiftly on these proposals in order to give its full meaning to the notion of Union citizenship. Action 3: Protecting social rights Social policies have a crucial role to play in the development of the Single Market by defining a new interplay between flexibility and security. This will help create the conditions for change, and promote new ways of working while guaranteeing adequate social rights. The social dialogue has a vital role to play in this respect. Negotiations are currently taking place between the social partners on part-time work, and the recent Green new Paper organisation of work has launched a broad debate on how to respond to these new challenges. This will be followed by specific initiatives in the framework of a new Social Action Programme in early 1998. partnership for on a restructuring from resulting Industrial market integration is beneficial to the Union's economy but can have serious social consequences for the communities involved. The Commission will monitor closely the application of the Community rules on the consultation of workers. It calls on the Member States to review national provisions for the enforcement of these rules and the penalties which apply. It will also soon launch consultation of the Social Partners at European level on possible Community framework rules on information and consultation at national the Commission will level. Finally continue to define a more balanced and coherent approach in the application of all Community policies affecting industrial restructuring. This will include efforts to encourage companies and the Member States to anticipate the consequences of restructuring the and employability of workers by adapting training and social protection systems. ensure 12 Action 4: Promoting labour mobility within the Union of measures designed Although the Treaty has long guaranteed European citizens the right to live and work labour in any Member State, mobility in the Single Market remains low. This is partly due to remaining barriers to the free movement of workers, which must be eliminated. Building on the report of the High Level Panel referred to above, the Commission will propose a package to overcome these barriers. In parallel, it will present a proposal on supplementary pensions, the simplification and modernisation of the system security arrangements for people moving about the Union. The Council is also called on to adopt the Commission's proposals on extending the scope of family reunion and consolidating to equal treatment as regards social benefits. coordinating and work the right towards social To raise awareness of job opportunities in other Member States and increase labour mobility the Commission will improve the EURES database on pan-EU employment opportunities. Member States will be invited to make this information more widely available by integrating it into the mainstream of their public employment services. Action 5: Consumer rights and health protection Consumers may hesitate before buying goods and services, including financial services, across frontiers because they are unsure of their rights. Agreement on the proposal on consumer guarantees would for the be one of improving consumer confidence. important step Consumer health protection will be reinforced through more effective use of scientific advice, control and risk analysis.

text: C 60/26 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 2. 98 20 G. People who have repeatedly treated their pets with Tiguvon (Fenthion) have suffered serious phosphate ester poisoning. As it was unable to answer my Question E-1470/96 (1) on the same subject, I would ask the Commission to answer the following questions as a matter of urgency: Which institution examines the mode of action of ethical and freely available antiparasitics, especially for their harmlessness to humans and animals and their compatibility with the environment? Is the Commission aware that manufacturers wishing to continue marketing products registered before 1978 were required to submit the results of all tests by the end of 1996? Did they do so? Is this governed by EU legislation? Were products authorized after 1978 adequately tested? (1) OJ C 345, 15. 11. 1996, p. 76. Joint answer to Written Questions E-1534/97, E-1540/97 and E-1544/97 given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (12 June 1997) The Commission has no knowledge of the facts reported by the Honourable Member. It is making enquiries among the Member States concerned and with the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, and will inform the Honourable Member of the outcome of these enquiries. (98/C 60/50) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1563/97 by Yves Verwaerde (PPE) to the Commission (6 May 1997) Subject: Harmonization of professional status Will the Commission say what it intends to do about the possible harmonization of the status of travelling salesmen within the Union? Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (30 June 1997) Directive 86/653/EEC of 18 December 1986 on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents (1) harmonizes Member States’ legislation governing the contractual relation- ship between a principal and a commercial agent acting as a self-employed intermediary. The Directive does not, however, apply to representatives who are employees. As for labour legislation applicable to employed representatives, legislative proposals relating to specific categories of employed persons do not feature among the priority measures envisaged in the Commission’s medium term social action programme.

text: C 60/28 PT Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias 25. 2. 98 Deste modo, a Comissa(cid:152)o fixou como objectivo que os pagamentos sejam efectuados dentro do prazo de 60 dias. Este prazo come(cid:231)a a correr a partir do dia em que os respectivos servi(cid:231)os recebam uma factura ou um pedido de pagamento devidamente emitido, terminando na data em que e· debitada a sua conta banca·ria. O servi(cid:231)o que gere o or(cid:231)amento regista obrigatoriamente no sistema de contabilidade central a data de recep(cid:231)a(cid:152)o da factura. Desta forma, dispo(cid:152)e-se de estat(cid:14)·sticas que permitem a cada servi(cid:231)o medir a respectiva capacidade de resposta em termos de cumprimento dos prazos de execu(cid:231)a(cid:152)o dos pagamentos. Os dados dispon(cid:14)·veis para o u·ltimo exerc(cid:14)·cio encerrado › 1996 › demonstram que, em me·dia, se respeita o prazo de 60 dias. A Comissa(cid:152)o na(cid:152)o tem conhecimento de problemas espec(cid:14)·ficos que estariam ligados a pagamentos destinados a entidades ou associa(cid:231)o(cid:152)es de nacionalidade portuguesa. Pore·m, chama a aten(cid:231)a(cid:152)o do Senhor Deputado para o facto de que os prazos que a Comissa(cid:152)o segue › e que controla › terminam na data do registo da ordem de pagamento por de·bito de uma das suas contas. A Comissa(cid:152)o utiliza a rede SWIFT para a execu(cid:231)a(cid:152)o da quase totalidade dos seus pagamentos. A pra·tica demonstra que os fundos assim transferidos sa(cid:152)o postos a‘ disposi(cid:231)a(cid:152)o da autoridade designada enquanto beneficia·ria dentro dos 2 a 4 dias u·teis seguintes. No entanto, a Comissa(cid:152)o na(cid:152)o tem controlo sobre a redistribui(cid:231)a(cid:152)o posterior eventual dos fundos comunita·rios, efectuada por iniciativa da autoridade nacional. Por fim, a Comissa(cid:152)o convida o Senhor Deputado a comunicar-lhe os casos espec(cid:14)·ficos a que alude, relativamente aos quais se teriam verificado, segundo parece, prazos anormalmente longos. A Comissa(cid:152)o examinara· cuidadosamente cada caso.

OPIS METODY Celem tej metody jest pomiar stosunku izotopowego 18O/16O wód różnego pochodzenia. Stosunek izotopowy 18O/16O może być wyrażony w odchyleniu δ ‰ w stosunku do wartości stosunku izotopowego międzynarodo- wego odniesienia V. SMOW: δi% (cid:1) Ri RSMOW (cid:2) – 1 x 1000 2. Zasada Stosunek izotopowy 18O/16O jest ustalany za pomocą spektrometrii mas stosunków izotopowych (MSIR) z prądów jonowych o wartościach m/z 46 (12C 18O/16O) i m/z 44 (12C16O2) wytworzonych przez dwutlenek węgla, uzyskany po wymianie z wodą w winie zgodnie z następującą reakcją: Dwutlenek węgla w fazie gazowej jest wykorzystywany do analizy. 3. Odczynniki — dwutlenek węgla do analizy, — SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water), — GISP (Greenland Ice Sheet Precipitation), — SLAP (Standard Light Arctic Precipitation), — woda wzorcowa, właściwa dla laboratorium, dokładnie znormalizowana w stosunku do próbki odniesienia Międzynarodowej Agencji Energii Atomowej w Wiedniu (IAEA). 4. Wyposażenie laboratoryjne — spektrometr masowy do oznaczania stosunków izotopowych z wewnętrzną powtarzalnością 0,05 ‰, — potrójny kolektor do jednoczesnego rejestrowania jonów o stosunku m/z 44, 45 i 46 lub, standardowo, podwójny kolektor do pomiaru jonów o stosunku m/z 44 i 46, — układ termostatyczny (± 0,5 °C) do wykonywania równoważenia między CO2 i zawartością wody w winie, — pompa próżniowa mogąca osiągnąć wewnętrzne ciśnienie 0,13 Pa, — fiolki na próbki o pojemności 15 ml i dodatkowa rurka kapilarna o średnicy wewnętrznej około 0,015 mm, — pipeta Eppendorfa z plastikową nasadką stożkową jednorazowego użytku. 5. Oznaczanie eksperymentalne 5. 1. Metoda ręczna Sposób p ostęp owa ni a p rz y me todzi e równ owa że ni a Wprowadzenie próbki — Należy wziąć pipetę Eppendorfa o ustalonej pojemności 1,5 ml, nałożyć stożek i pompować ciecz, która ma być poddana analizie, tak by znalazła się w szklanym balonie kolby. Następnie za pomocą smaru silikonowego uszczelnić szyjkę kolby balonu i przyłączyć ją do zaworu, sprawdzając jednocześnie, czy jest ona szczelnie zamknięta, — Powtórzyć czynność dla każdej kolby balonu znajdującej się na rampie roboczej podczas wprowadzania labora- toryjnej wody wzorcowej do jednego ze szklanych balonów. O d g a z ow y w a ni e ra mp y Obie rampy schładza się ciekłym azotem, a następnie cały układ jest oczyszczany do 0,1 mm Hg poprzez otwo- rzenie zaworów. Następnie zawory są zamykane i całość podgrzewana. Cykl odgazowywania powtarzany jest dotąd, dopóki nie będzie już zmian ciśnienia. 66 PL Dziennik Urzędowy Unii Europejskiej 03/t. 21 Równow a że ni e w ody i CO 2 Należy ochłodzić rampy robocze do -70 °C (mieszanina ciekłego azotu i alkoholu), aby zamrozić wodę i umieścić ją całą w próżni. Po stabilizacji próżni wyizolować rampę poprzez uczynnienie zaworów i oczyszczenie układu wprowadzania CO2. Wprowadzić CO2 w stanie gazowym do rampy roboczej po wyizolowaniu jej uprzednio z reszty układu, umieścić rampę w kąpieli termostatycznej o temperaturze 25 °C (± 0,5 °C) na 12 godzin (jedna noc). W celu zoptymalizowania czasu potrzebnego na przeprowadzenie równoważenia wskazane jest przygoto- wanie próbek pod koniec dnia, żeby pozwolić w ten sposób na ustalenie się równowagi przez noc. Prz e nosze ni e CO 2 w y mi e ni one g o w og ni w a c h p omi a r ow y c h Uchwyt z próbkami przytrzymujący tyle ogniw pomiarowych, ile szklanych kolb balonów zawierających wymie- niony CO2, mocowany jest na pustej linii obok rampy roboczej. Puste ogniwa są dokładnie oczyszczone, wymie- nione gazy zawarte w szklanych balonach przeniesione jeden po drugim do ogniw pomiarowych, które zostały schłodzone ciekłym azotem. Następnie ogniwa pomiarowe ogrzewa się w temperaturze pokojowej. 5. 2. Zastosowanie aparatury automatycznej wymiany Aby przeprowadzić równoważenie, fiolki na próbki wypełnia się albo 2 ml wina, albo 2 ml wody (wzorcowa woda w warunkach laboratoryjnych) i ochładza się je do temperatury –18 °C. Prowadnice z próbkami zawierają- cymi zamarznięte produkty przyłączane są do układu równoważenia i, po wytworzeniu w układzie próżni, wpro- wadzany jest dwutlenek węgla pod ciśnieniem 800 hPa. Równowagę osiąga się w temperaturze 22 ± 0,5 °C po minimalnym czasie pięciu godzin i umiarkowanym wstrząsaniu. Ponieważ czas trwania równoważenia zależy od geometrii fiolki, optymalny czas trwania powinno się ustalić najpierw dla wykorzystywanego układu. Dwutlenek węgla zawarty we fiolkach jest następnie przenoszony do komory wprowadzającej spektrometru maso- wego poprzez rurkę kapilarną i pomiar jest dokonywany zgodnie z określonym protokołem dla każdego rodzaju sprzętu. 6. Obliczanie i wyrażanie wyników Względna różnica δ’ stosunku natężenia jonów o wartości m/z 46 i 44 (I46/I44) między próbką i odniesieniem jest wyrażona w ‰ poprzez następujące równanie: " δ sample (cid:3) I46=I44 (cid:3) I46=I44 (cid:4) sample (cid:4) reference # – 1 x 1000 Zawartość tlenu 18O w próbce w porównaniu z odniesieniem V. SMOW na skali V. SMOW/SLAP podaje następująca relacja: δ18O (cid:2) (cid:1) δ sample – δ SMOW δ SMOW – δ SLAP x 55,5 Wartość przyjęta dla SLAP jest równa – 55,5 ‰ w porównaniu z V. SMOW. Stosunek izotopowego odniesienia ustala się po każdej serii 10 pomiarów na nieznanych próbkach. 7. Wierność — powtarzalność (r) jest równa 0, 24 ‰ — odtwarzalność (R) jest równa 0,50 ‰

text: KOMMISSION DER EUROPÄISCHEN GEMEINSCHAFTEN Brüssel, den 06. 05. 1997 KOM(97) 193 endg. Vorschlag für eine Entscheidung des Rates betreffend die Ermächtigung der Unterzeichnung des WIPO-Urheberrechtsvertrags und des WIPO-Vertrags über Darbietungen und Tonträger im Namen der Europäischen Gemeinschaft (von der Kommission vorgelegt) Vorschlag für eine Entscheidung des Rates betreffend die Ermächtigung der Unterzeichnung des WIPO-Urheberrechtsvertrags und des WIPO-Vertrags über Darbietungen und Tonträger im Namen der Europäischen Gemeinschaft Am 20. Dezember 1996 haben in Genf die Delegationen, die an der diplomatischen Konferenz der Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum (WIPO) zu Fragen des Urheberrechts und Leistungsschutzrechten teilgenommen haben, zwei Verträge auf dem Gebiet des geistigen Eigentums angenommen. Der erste Vertrag, "WIPO- Urheberrechtsvertrag" (WUV), behandelt Fragen des Urheberrechts; der zweite Vertrag, "WIPO-Vertrag über Darbietungen und Tonträger" (WDT), befaßt sich mit Leistungsschutzrechten. der vom Ministerrat Die Europäische Gemeinschaft, vertreten durch die Kommission, hat auf der Grundlage beschlossenen Verhandlungsrichtlinien aktiv an den vorbereitenden Arbeiten teilgenommen. Ein weiteres Verhandlungsmandat erteilte der Rat im November 1996 für die diplomatische Konferenz, an der die Kommission als "Delegation mit besonderem Status" teilgenommen hat. 1993 1991 und Die Verträge sind am selben Tag zur Unterzeichnung aufgelegt worden und stehen hierzu bis zum 31. Dezember 1997 offen. Sie treten drei Monate nach Hinterlegung der dreißigsten Ratifications- oder Beitrittsurkunde eines Mitgliedstaates der WIPO in Kraft. Inhalt der Verträge Der "WIPO-Urheberrechtsvertrag" vervollständigt die Berner Übereinkunft zum Schutz von Werken der Literatur und Kunst, die zuletzt 1971 revidiert worden ist, und paßt sie an das digitale Zeitalter an. Er gewährt Urhebern Rechtsschutz für den Bereich der Verbreitung, gewerbsmäßigen Vermietung, öffentlichen Wiedergabe und öffentlichen Zugänglichmachung ihrer Werke über Netze. Computerprogramme und Datenbanken erhalten ausdrücklichen Schutz. Darüber hinaus enthält der Vertrag (wie beispielsweise die Bestimmungen zu Umgehung von Kopierschutzvorkehrungen), zu Informationssystemen für die Wahrung der Rechte sowie Bestimmungen zur Rechtsdurchsetzung. technischen Schutzvorkehrungen Der "WIPO-Vertrag über Darbietungen und Tonträger" stellt einen bedeutenden Fortschritt beim Schutz von Künstlern und Tonträgerherstellern dar. Durch den neuen Vertrag erhalten diese Rechtsinhaber Ausschließlichkeitsrechte für den Bereich der Vervielfältigung, Verbreitung, gewerbsmäßigen Vermietung und öffentlichen Zugänglichmachung ihrer Darbietungen und Tonträger. Darüber hinaus erhalten die ausübenden Künstler und Hersteller von Tonträgern Vergütungsansprüche für die Sendung und jegliche andere Art der öffentlichen Wiedergabe von zu gewerblichen Zwecken veröffentlichten Tonträgern. Wie der Urheberrechtsvertrag sieht auch dieser Vertragstext Bestimmungen zu technischen Vorkehrungen, Systemen für die Wahrnehmung der Rechte und zur Rechtsdurchsetzung vor. In Verbindung mit den Maßnahmen, die die Kommission kürzlich in ihrer Mitteilung über Urheberrecht und verwandte Schutzrechte in der Informationsgesellschaft angekündigt hat, werden die neuen Verträge ein hohes Schutzniveau gewährleisten und gleichzeitig den Zugang der Allgemeinheit zu den über Netzwerke verbreiteten Inhalten sicherstellen. Die Verhandlungsergebnisse werden insofern von sämtlichen betroffenen Kreisen begrüßt und als eine angemessene Antwort auf die technologischen Herausforderungen erachtet, weshalb eine baldige Genehmigung der Verträge seitens der Gemeinschaft sowie ihrer Mitgliedstaaten erwartet wird. Möglichkeit der Gemeinschaft, den Verträgen selbst beizutreten Artikel 17(3) des Urheberrechtsvertrags und Artikel 26(3) des Vertrages über Darbietungen und Tonträger sieht für die Europäische Gemeinschaft ausdrücklich die Möglichkeit vor, Vertragspartei zu werden. Die Genehmigung der Verträge seitens des Rates würde das Interesse der Gemeinschaft am Schutz des geistigen Eigentums dokumentieren. Die Gemeinschaft würde hierdurch einen Beitrag zu einem günstigen Vertragsklima leisten und damit gleichzeitig die Grundlage für eine breite Beteiligung an diesen Verträgen schaffen, entsprechend den wirtschaftlichen Interessen der Gemeinschaftsindustrie sowie der in der EU schöpferisch Tätigen. Ein solches Vorgehen dürfte darüber hinaus merklich positive Auswirkungen auf die Möglichkeit eines baldigen Inkrafttretens der Verträge haben. Eine beträchtliche Zahl von Delegationen, insbesondere der mittel- und osteuropäischen Länder (MOELs), haben bereits erkennen lassen, daß sie ihren Beitritt vom diesbezüglichen Verhalten der Europäischen Gemeinschaft und ihrer Mitgliedsstaaten abhängig machen werden. Eine Verzögerung der Genehmigung seitens der Gemeinschaft und ihrer Mitgliedstaaten über einige Jahre könnte daher auch eine Verzögerung dieser Länder zur Folge haben. Die Gemeinschaft und ihre Mitgliedstaaten haben die Verträge einvernehmlich inhaltlich gutgeheißen. Eine baldmögliche Genehmigung liegt folglich in ihrem Interesse. Zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt haben bereits sieben Mitgliedstaaten (Belgien, Deutschland, Griechenland, Spanien, Italien, Luxemburg und das Vereinigte Königreich) die Verträge unterzeichnet. Auch die Gemeinschaft selbst hat die WIPO-Verträge bereits unterzeichnet. Diese Unterzeichnung ist jedoch bis zum Abschluß des internen Verfahrens des Rates der EU als Paraphe zu werten. Es wird daher eine Entscheidung des Rates vorgeschlagen, die Unterzeichnung vorbehaltlich der Ratifikation zu ermächtigen. Hierdurch würde die Paraphe förmlich die Bedeutung einer Unterzeichnung erhalten. Gleichzeitig wird eine Empfehlung des Rates an die Mitgliedstaaten vorgeschlagen, die sämtliche Mitgliedstaaten ersuchen würde, jene Verträge vor Ablauf der hierfür vorgesehen Frist, das heißt vor dem 31. Dezember 1997, zu unterzeichnen. Die Unterzeichnung der Verträge durch die Mitgliedstaaten würde ihren Willen zum Ausdruck bringen, die Verträge anschließend unter Einhaltung der nationalen Verfahren zu ratifizieren. Sie würde darüber hinaus ein klares politisches Signal an Drittstaaten darstellen, daß die Europäische Gemeinschaft und ihre Mitgliedstaaten entschlossen sind, die Verträge gutzuheißen, ohne daß hierfür die Hinterlegung der Ratifikationsinstrumente abgewartet werden müßte. Die Ratifikation der Verträge würde zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erfolgen, der den Wunsch eines koordinierten Vorgehens zwischen der Gemeinschaft und ihren Mitgliedstaaten zum Ausdruck bringen würde. Ergebnis In Anbetracht der vorgenannten Erwägungen wird dem Rat vorgeschlagen: (1) (2) die Kommission zu ermächtigen, die Unterzeichnung des WIPO- Urheberrechtsvertrags des in Gemeinschaftsrechts fallenden Bereiche vorbehaltlich seiner Ratifikation förmlich zu bestätigen; den Anwendungsbereich die für die Kommission zu ermächtigen, die Unterzeichnung des WIPO-Vertrags über Darbietungen und Tonträger für die in den Anwendungsbereich des Gemeinschaftsrechts fallenden Bereiche vorbehaltlich seiner Ratifikation förmlich zu bestätigen. Diese Entscheidung sollte zur Registrierung ins Protokoll des Rates aufgenommen werden. (3) den Mitgliedstaaten, die die Verträge noch nicht unterzeichnet haben, eine unverzügliche Unterzeichnung zu empfehlen, spätestens jedoch vor Ablauf der Ausschlußfrist, die für den 31. Dezember 1997 festgesetzt wurde. ISSN 0254-1467 KOM(97) 193 endg.
