text: 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/99 MINUTES OF THE SITTING OF THURSDAY 18 DECEMBER 1997 Thursday 18 December 1997 (98/C 14/04) PART I Proceedings of the sitting IN THE CHAIR: Mr GIL-ROBLES GIL-DELGADO 1. Approval of Minutes President The Minutes of the previous sitting were approved. (The sitting opened at 9. 30 a. m. ) * * * Exclusion of a Member Following the incident in the Chamber the previous evening (Minutes of that sitting, Part I, Item 23), the President announced that he was obliged to take a painful decision, in view of the seriousness of the matter, and read out Rule 110(1). He therefore moved that Parliament pass a vote of censure on Mr Rosado Fernandes, involving immediate exclusion from the Chamber and suspension for two days. Mr Rosado Fernandes replied that he was not proud of what had happened the previous evening, that he deserved the sanction which Parliament might vote to inflict on him, and explained that he had acted as he had done because he had been the victim of a provocation. Pursuant to Rule 110(3) the President held an electronic vote on his motion to exclude Mr Rosado Fernandes from the Chamber for two days. Votes were cast as follows: Members voting: 351; for: 235; against: 79; abstentions: 37. The motion was therefore approved. The President asked Mr Rosado Fernandes to leave the Chamber: the latter did so. The following spoke: › Mr Ha¤nsch, who noted that Mr Rosado Fernandes had spoken and left the Chamber to applause from members of his group and felt that the President should have expressed solidarity with Mr Blak, the victim of the attack in question; › Mr Giansily who, on behalf of the UPE Group, in view of the importance of the forthcoming vote on the budget, and the severe sanction adopted against a member of his group, asked for the sitting to be suspended for a few minutes to enable his group to hold a meeting (in view of the length and importance of the vote in question, the President declined his request). The following spoke: › Mr Le Gallou, who said that he had discovered that morning that Parliament had issued a commemorative envel- ope of Georges Marchais, former secretary-general of the French Communist Party, whose activity he condemned, and asked on what basis this issue had been decided (the President replied that the issue was the work of a private firm, not of Parliament); › Mr Puerta, chairman of the GUE/NGL Group, who, with reference to the previous speaker(cid:146)s remarks, defended Mr Mar- chais(cid:146) memory and rejected Mr Le Gallou(cid:146)s assertions (the President said that he deemed the incident closed); › Mr Lataillade, who expressed concern at claims originat- ing within Parliament of financial corruption and asked the President to give the House all the documentation concerning those involved in any way in the design and construction of Parliament(cid:146)s buildings in Brusssels, so that libellous accusa- tions which might provoke Members to understandable though inadmissible reactions of anger could be avoided; he also asked him to remind group chairmen that any accusations had to be backed up with evidence (the President said that he would forward this request to the Conference of Presidents). 2. Referral to committees The Committee on External Economic Relations would be drawing up a report pursuant to Rule 90(5) on the OECD negotiations on a multilateral agreement on investment (asked for opinions: ECON, LEGA, DEVE, ESOC, ENVI, CULT and FISH). The following matters had been referred to the Rules Commit- tee: › a letter by Mr Berthu on allowing Members to give explanations of vote for the establishment of Parliament(cid:146)s calendar of part-sessions, › the question of revising Parliament(cid:146)s Rules of Procedure with a view to adapting them to the Amsterdam Treaty. VOTING TIME C 14/100 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 3. 1998 draft general budget › 1998 draft ECSC operating budget (vote) (1) ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENDITURE OF THE INSTITU- TIONS The next item was the vote on: › the 1998 draft budget, modified by the Council; › the motion for a resolution in the report drawn up by Mr Tillich and Mr Tomlinson, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, on the draft budget of the European Union for the financial year 1998 as modified by the Council (all sections) and on Letter of Amendment No 1/98 to the preliminary draft budget for 1998, Section III › Commis- sion (C4-0645/97) (A4-0390/97); › the motion for a resolution in the report drawn up by Mr Giansily, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, on the draft ECSC operating budget for 1998 (SEC(97)0933 › C4-0270/97) (A4-0409/97). The President explained the voting procedure. (a) Amendments to the 1998 draft budget (Qualified majority) Mr Tillich, rapporteur, asked for technical corrections to be made to amendments 1 and 36 (in am. 1, the reference to the previous week(cid:146)s European Council was to be deleted and in am. 36 he wanted a sentence which contradicted current Community decisions to be corrected). The following spoke: Mr Samland, chairman of the Committee on Budgets, who said that the rapporteur(cid:146)s proposal (cid:145)merely concerned an asterisk, not the reserve(cid:146), and Mr Dell(cid:146)Alba, on behalf of the ARE Group, who did not agree with the view that the rapporteur(cid:146)s proposed change to am. 36 was merely technical, and received support from more than 12 Members. Under Rule 124(6), the President decided, in view of this opposition, not to take account of the correction to am. 36, which he treated as an oral amendment. Amendments withdrawn: 52; 60; 65 SECTION III › COMMISSION Amendments adopted: block 1 (61, 62, 63); block 2 (100); block 3 (6, 85 to 91, 14, 15, 107, 108, 18, 109, 106, 92, 110, 23, 111, 93, 26, 27, 94, 95, 30, 31, 96, 33 to 40, 97, 98, 99, 44, 45, 46, 101 to 104, 51, 53, 54); 105 (separate vote); block 4 (56 to 59) The following spoke during the vote › Mrs Mu¤ller, on behalf of the V Group, on the vote in a single amendment on heading 3. Amendments adopted: block 5 (1 to 5) SECTION IV › COURT OF JUSTICE Amendments adopted: block 6 (67 to 72) SECTION VI › ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS Amendments adopted: block 7 (73 to 84) After voting on the amendments to the draft general budget for 1998 had been completed, the President asked the Council the following question: (cid:145)Can the Council agree with Parliament on the new minimum rate of increase in expenditure in the light of our discussions?(cid:146) Mr Fischbach, President- in-Office of the Council, answered: that the Presidency (cid:145)Yes Mr President. I would like to tell you and all the honourable Members is obviously delighted with the overall agreement we have reached on the 1998 budget. This is a good budget. It is a good budget because it is the result of a good understanding between the two authorities, the two branches of budget authority, but also and more importantly the result of close cooperation, based on mutual trust between the Council and Parliament, and today(cid:146)s result has been achieved essentially thanks to Parliament, its Committee on Budgets, the Chairman of that Committee and two rapporteurs, Mr Tillich and Mr Tomlinson, whose com- mitment, enthusiasm and loyalty I have appreciated throughout this budgetary procedure. Mr President, I would also like to conclude by thanking the Commission and in particular Commissioner Liikanen and his colleagues for their efforts which made a decisive contribution to this overall agreement. My sincere thanks to you all. (cid:146) The President noted that there was full agreement on the 1998 budget which was therefore finally adopted. He therefore asked the President-in-Office of the Council, Mr Fischbach, Commissioner Liikanen, Mr Samland, Chair- man of the Committee on Budgets, and Mr Tomlinson and Mr Tillich, rapporteurs, to join him and then proceeded to sign the budget.

Parliament and by Council at their first readings while respecting budgetary rigour: › initiating the three-year employment initiative, called for by Parliament, and agreed at the special European Council at Luxembourg on 21 November 1997; › ensuring tight budget targets in view of the need to respect the criteria for economic and monetary union and the single currency, by agreeing reductions of payment appropriations below Parliament(cid:146)s first reading; › continuing funding of the programme for peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland; › strengthening the Socrates programme for educational cooperation; › identifying and consolidating pre-accession measures; › bringing together and reinforcing measures to promote human rights and democracy; › introducing a new approach for EU subsidies with more transparent criteria; Notes that the European Council in Luxembourg, having heard the President of Parliament, 2. welcomed Parliament(cid:146)s initiative providing for the strengthening of budgetary resources earmarked for employment, a move given a positive reception by the Council; formalizes the agreement with the Council by adopting the necessary budgetary decision; expects the Commission to make proposals, as soon as possible, for necessary legal bases for the initiative providing for new financial instruments to support innovatory and job-creating small and medium-sized enterprises, including craft enterprises, in accordance with the conclusions of the third European Conference of crafts and small businesses (cid:145)Employment through Innovation(cid:146), so that the Council can adopt them speedily (1); Notes that the Commission will introduce in due course a preliminary draft supplementary and 3. amending budget if payments, and in the case of category 1 commitment appropriations as well, appear to be insufficient and that the budgetary authority will examine this PDSAB favourably; notes that this may arise because of the Council reductions in commitment and payment appropriations of ECU 550 million in category 1 and payment appropriations of ECU 550 million in categories 3 and 4, which is endorsed by Parliament on this clear condition; urges the Commission to ensure that the 1998 budget is fully implemented in accordance with Article 205 of the EC Treaty and to take appropriate account of these budget decisions in its 1998 legislative programme; 4. In order to monitor the payments, requests the Commission to present the evolution of payments for each budget line on a monthly basis, together with a forecast of budget implementation to be presented to the budgetary authority before the conciliation meeting in July 1998; 5. Is of the opinion that its decisions on the 1998 budget have followed the guidelines expressed in its above-mentioned resolution of 13 March 1997, and, as far as possible, have taken account of the Council and Commission guidelines; 6. Expects the informal conciliation with Council early in 1998 to encourage the setting of realistic joint budget targets, help prepare an open and cooperative posture by both arms of the budgetary authority, and address the longer-term financing issues that will arise from the processes of economic and monetary union and of enlargement; (1) Paragraphs 47 and 48 of the Presidency(cid:146)s conclusions, which state: (cid:145)These new instruments must reinforce the European Technology Facility, financed by the European Investment Bank and administered by the European Investment Fund, by opening a (cid:145)risk capital window(cid:146), support the creation of transnational joint ventures and establish within the European Investment Fund a special guarantee fund to facilitate risk-taking by institutions providing finance for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Urges the Member States to re-examine and improve the collection of revenue contributing to the Union(cid:146)s budget, in accordance with the recent recommendations by the Court of Auditors, and with the conclusions of the Committee of Inquiry into the Community transit system, so as to avoid the high wastage that currently occurs, and to enable the budgetary authority to meet needs better without making excessive demands on the fourth resource; 9. Is aware that, in this final programming period, ensuring the full implementation, monitoring and assessment of Community support frameworks and single programming documents for the programmes and projects under the Structural Funds, Community support frameworks, the Community initiatives and the Cohesion Fund will be a priority for Parliament and asks the Commission to present detailed information on job creation initiatives in Objective 2 areas and the real expectations for the next two years; 10. Welcomes the agreement reached by the two arms of the budgetary authority to allocate supplementary funding of ECU 70 million for the Socrates programme in 1998 and 1999, currently being examined under the codecision procedure; expects this to speed up successful conclusion of the legislative conciliation procedure before the end of December 1997; remarks that the budgetary authority has thus reduced the risk of further delays in the legislation harming the full implementation of this popular programme; 11. Notes that, after the meeting between the representatives of the institutions at the highest level a sustainable strategy for a common information policy aimed at better informing the European citizen should be set out before 31 March 1998; requests that a Commission two-part strategy paper be submitted to Parliament and to Council on the future of JET, the first by 31 March 1998, addressing the detailed administrative and budgetary issues, and the second before 1 May 1998, in the form of an evaluation study of the various elements of the future programme, including JET, drawn up by independent experts; 12. Approves the decision to place against the corresponding heading the funding for the controlled nuclear fusion programme, except ECU 3,6 million in the reserve pending a possible settlement of the staff dispute at the JET; agrees to the transfer of 25 JET Euratom posts to the fusion programme and to the maintenance of the reserve list of candidates, due to lapse at the end of 1997, until the end of 1999; requests the Commission to forward as soon as possible its proposals to modify the JET statutes in the terms required by the Court of First Instance(cid:146)s judgement of 12 December 1996, and to take additional measures in the area of staff policy and recruitment, in order to fulfil the obligations resulting from joined Cases T-177/94 and T-377/94; 13. Is concerned about the reported implementation difficulties concerning EU funding for actions which correspond to the stated priorities in Bosnia-Herzegovina, in particular the return of refugees; confirms its first-reading decision to leave 30% of the appropriations in the reserve for reconstruction activities; invites its competent authorities to examine rapidly and favourably the sending in early 1998 of a four Member ad hoc delegation from the competent organs, including the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on Budgetary Control, to evaluate on the ground the financial and administrative problems concerning this aid with the authorities in the area; 14. Welcomes the outline agreement on the funding allocation to the EBRD for the Union contribution to the Chernobyl Shelter Plan, approving the Council(cid:146)s decision to enter ECU 25 million for Article B7-536 in the reserve and confirming that the appropriations will be released once the legal basis is adopted, after the verification of specific conditions linked to the technical implementation of the plan and to payments to the fund by other donors; adds to the remarks of Article B7-520 a comment permitting appropriations up to a maximum amount of ECU 25 million to be used to cover the expenditure referred to in Article B7-536 through transfer; underlines that the total amount to be allocated to this action shall not exceed ECU 100 million over the eight-year period of the programme and that the nuclear safety sector under the Tacis programme shall not exceed 13% of the total appropriations in 1998; 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/117 Thursday 18 December 1997 15. Expects budget management to be improved by the prompt application, by the Commission and by the Member State administrations, of the recommendations adopted under the SEM 2000 programme and, as far as the staff of the institution is concerned, those of the MAP 2000 programme; Reserves Decides to place appropriations in the reserve in respect of 23 lines, so as to supervise closely the 16. implementation of these lines during the 1998 financial year (see Annex I); refers to the conditions for their release as indicated in the amendments it has adopted; agrees to release the appropriations once the conditions it has set have been fulfilled; Repeats its call to the Commission to submit all transfers of appropriations entered in Chapter 17. B0-40 for specific lines, as far as possible before 15 September 1998; calls on the Commission to notify the budgetary authority in full no later than 10 days prior to the latter(cid:146)s deliberations thereon; points out that such proposals for transfers must be submitted separately from the Notenboom-Bourlanges global transfer, the procedure for which must be revised and which might, for example, be replaced by a supplementary and amending budget proposed in the last four months of the year; Commits itself to evaluating interinstitutional cooperation, and to encouraging it in identified 18. priority areas so as to achieve the synergy and savings that have been forecast; 19. Commits itself to watching closely the implementation of the new system for subsidies from the Union budget (Part A of the budget) and insists that internal procedures be improved so as to avoid duplication of subsidy from the two parts of the budget; Other institutions(cid:146) budgets 20. Notes that, apart from the amendments made by Parliament to its own budget and to that of the Ombudsman, the Council has, for the first time, endorsed Parliament(cid:146)s first reading of the draft budget (other institutions) without amendment; 21. Welcomes that outcome, which it regards as consent to a common reading of the institutions(cid:146) administrative expenditure; 22. Is of the opinion that a single reading ought to give the institutions concerned greater leeway, in terms of time, and therefore invites them to take this opportunity to improve their budget implementation plan; 23. Points out in this connection that it has placed appropriations in the reserve and that, during this budgetary procedure, it has asked for reports to be drawn up on questions listed, together with the deadlines and conditions for submission, in Annex II; Deplores the fact, however, that the Council has rejected the amendments seeking to enter 24. appropriate remarks for each revenue heading in accordance with the provisions of Article 20(2) of the Financial Regulation; 25. Has therefore decided to retable the revenue-related amendments; 26. Instructs its administration to bring forward the appropriate transfer for the 12th part-session in Strasbourg; stresses that the transfer should take due account of the provisions adopted by the Conference of Presidents on 23 October 1997 on the holding of committee meetings in Strasbourg; notes that possible savings due to reductions in committee meetings in Strasbourg following these decisions could amount to about ECU 4 million over the year; Stresses its attachment to a transparent and efficient nomenclature permitting comparability 27. between institutions, in particular in the case of administrative expenditure; 28. Invites the Commission, accordingly, to coordinate work on harmonization of the nomenclature for Title 2 › Buildings, equipment and miscellaneous operating expenditure › and to submit an interinstitutional report before 30 April 1998; C 14/118 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 Margins 29.

(2) Minutes of that sitting, Part II, Item 1(c). 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/121 Thursday 18 December 1997 › whereas the draft ECSC operating budget for 1998 and the draft amending ECSC operating budget for 1997 were drawn up in the context of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty on 23 July 2002, › having regard to the resolution of the Amsterdam European Council on growth and employment inviting the Commission to lay down the arrangements for the phasing-out of the ECSC as regards the management of current operations and the patrimony and the allocation of revenue from the management of ECSC assets, › having regard to the Commission(cid:146)s communication to the Council on the expiry of the ECSC Treaty: financial activities (COM(97)0506), › having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets and the opinions of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy and the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (A4-0409/97), A. whereas, notwithstanding the expiry of the ECSC Treaty, the various activities carried out pursuant to that Treaty will not automatically cease to be necessary, whereas, therefore, the phasing-in of ECSC activities in the general budget must continue to be the subject of full consideration and practical proposals in parallel to the phasing-out, B. whereas the coal and steel industries remain dependent on cyclical market trends, trends which are themselves linked largely to European and world economic fluctuations; whereas, therefore, they may once again be faced with difficult economic situations, C. whereas the financial and budgetary provisions of the ECSC Treaty have helped to cushion the traumatic social impact of the radical restructuring which has taken place in these two industries, D. whereas research, the key to competitiveness in terms of manufacturing, innovation and product quality standards, has an indispensable role to play in a dynamic policy to improve the employment situation, E. whereas steel demand and prices have been increasing gradually since the end of the stock-reduction period, and whereas this gradual improvement in steel market conditions, linked to the overall economic improvement in the Community in 1997, points to an increase in steel production from 148 million tonnes in 1996 to 156 million tonnes in 1997, F. whereas, however, the number of jobs will continue to fall from 304 500 in 1996 to 287 600 in 1997, i. e. a loss of 16 900 jobs, G. whereas the continuing restructuring programmes in the coal sector in the Member States will give rise to the loss of an estimated 8 700 jobs, 1. Notes that, for the first time, the Commission has submitted a draft operating budget in the context of the expiry of the Treaty in 2002, which has prompted it to set this procedure in the context of the financial perspective for the period 1997-2002; Notes that, in that context, in accordance with its 1994 decision (1), the Commission is proposing to 2. end the conversion policy in 1998; notes also that, since convergence loans cannot continue beyond 23 July 2002 and their term is five years, no further loans can be granted after 23 July 1997; 3. Notes that the halting of commitments in respect of global conversion loans entails an initial tranche of cancellations totalling ECU 173 million in 1997, i. e. an increase of ECU 120 million by comparison with the estimates in the draft budget, and that the Commission has therefore presented a draft amending budget for 1997 totalling ECU 424,4 million instead of ECU 265,5 million and has allocated an additional amount of ECU 139,9 million to the chapter dealing with provisions for the financing of future budgets; (1) OJ C 175, 28. 6. 1994, p. 5. C 14/122 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 Points out that Parliament delivered a favourable opinion on that proposal in its resolution referred to 4. in the fifth citation above; Notes that, as far as the draft budget for 1998 is concerned, the needs estimated by the Commission 5. total ECU 179 million, as against ECU 206 million in 1997 (SAB), and that ECU 35 million of the provisions built up by the two previous budgets are to be used to offset the absence of the contribution from the levy, as proposed by the Commission; 6. Takes the view that the Commission must extend into 1998 the programmes which it has already embarked upon, in particular the redeployment aid schemes, given that its own estimates point to a combined loss in the coal and steel sectors of over 25 000 jobs per year; Regards the other ECSC aid schemes, particularly the social measures for coal, as all the more 7. necessary as no further conversion loans can be granted after 23 July 1997; Takes the view, further, that for this reason the ECSC budget must offset the loss of conversion aid 8. by means of other aid schemes, in particular those provided for by Articles 2, 56 and 95 of the ECSC Treaty, given that the Commission(cid:146)s economic forecasts demonstrate the need for support in this area; Calls on the Commission to gear ECSC research support to the share of the yield from the levy 9. accounted for by each sector; Approves, therefore, the table annexed to this resolution: 10. (a) as regards the operating budget for 1998, proposes that the ECSC levy be definitively abolished, as provided for in the Commission draft, since there is no longer a financial requirement, given the objective to be realized and the expiry of the ECSC Treaty, as well as the reserves to be constituted by then; (b) as regards the level of reserves and provisions entered in the ECSC balance sheet, proposes that: › › › the guidelines adopted by Parliament in its resolution of 15 November 1996 referred to above should be incorporated in the balance sheet; the decisions taken in connection with the 1998 budget should be linked to those which will be taken in respect of the following budgetary years, on the basis of a financial perspective for the period 1998-2002; in 1998 part of the provisions should be used to make a payment to the EIB with a view to establishing a special fund to support job-creating SMUs in industrial research sectors linked to coal and steel and in sectoral or regional areas connected with these industries; 11. › › › Takes the view that these proposals are consistent with: the resolution of the Amsterdam European Council on growth and employment, which referred to the ECSC reserves as a financial instrument which might be used to help in the fight against unemployment in Europe, and paragraph 10 of which reads as follows: (cid:145)The Commission is invited to make the appropriate proposals in order to ensure that, upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty in 2002, the revenues of outstanding reserves can be used for a research fund for sectors related to the coal and steel industry(cid:146), and invites the Commission to submit proposals stating whether, and how, this decision could be implemented as of 1998; the determination of the Community authorities to seek significant resources for employment; the available funding constituted by the proceeds from the levy and the provisions which may be used to achieve one of the Community(cid:146)s objectives on the basis of Articles 2, 56 and 95 of the ECSC Treaty; Recalls that, in a statement to Parliament in 1973, the Commission undertook to accept the binding 12. nature of opinions delivered by Parliament on the ECSC operating budget; Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the ECSC 13.

Fifth framework R&D programme ***I A4-0396/97 Proposal and amended proposal for a European Parliament and Council Decision concerning the fifth framework programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (1998-2002) (COM(97)0142 › C4-0186/97 and COM(97)0439 › C4-0410/97 › 97/0119(COD)) The proposal was approved with the following amendments: TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION (*) AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT (Amendment 1) Recital 1a (new) Whereas the enlargement of the European Union will increase the need for sustained efforts to support the research and education sector and, in particular, to enhance mobility in that sector; (Amendment 2) Recital 1b (new) Whereas, therefore, the next Community financial perspec- tive should give high priority to Heading 3; (Amendment 3) Recital 3a (new) Whereas, following the Commission(cid:146)s Communication on (cid:145)Achieving coordination through cooperation(cid:146) of Novem- ber 1994, the Council concluded in June 1995 that appro- priate steps should be taken to promote cooperation and coordination between Member States; (Amendment 4) Recital 4 Whereas the objectives of the Community(cid:146)s research and technological development policy reflect current thinking about challenges which the Community must meet and the opportunities which it intends to address relating, as a matter of priority, to the problems of society, industrial competitiveness, job creation, quality of life, globalization of knowledge, contributing to the development and implementation of the Community(cid:146)s policies in line with Article 130f(1) of the Treaty, and the role of the Community in the world as a focal point of scientific and technological excellence; Whereas the objectives of the Community(cid:146)s research and technological development policy reflect current thinking about challenges which the Community must meet and the opportunities which it intends to address relating, as a matter of priority, to the improvement of the international competi- tiveness of European industry by means of scientific and technological research and development to increase econ- omic growth and, hence, to support an increase in the number of jobs available, simultaneously contributing to the development and implementation of the Community(cid:146)s policies in line with Article 130f(1) of the Treaty and strengthening the role of the Community in the world as a focal point of scientific and technological excellence; (*) OJ C 173, 7. 6. 1997, p. 10 and OJ C 291, 25. 9. 1997, p. 15. 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/129 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT (Amendment 5) Recital 4a (new) Whereas a research programme which is designed to meet social and economic needs must as far as possible be demand-driven, and whereas, alongside efforts to ensure maximum participation by users in the individual project consortia, additional guarantees are required in order to implement this approach; (Amendment 6) Recital 7a (new) Whereas the Community(cid:146)s main international partners are increasing their spending on research and technological development; (Amendments 7 and 112) Recital 8 Whereas it is appropriate, in this same framework, to place special emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which generate a great deal of employment, on the diffusion and transfer of results, on innovation and on the training and mobility of researchers; Whereas small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can make a substantial contribution to the process of innova- tion and job creation, and should play a major role in the implementation of Community R&D actions; whereas it is therefore desirable to pay special attention to the specific needs of such enterprises so as to promote their effective participation in Community programmes and their ability to benefit from them; whereas it is appropriate to place special emphasis on the diffusion and transfer of results and on the training and mobility of researchers; whereas such actions should have an increasing impact on the less-favoured regions and countries; (Amendment 8) Recital 8a (new) Whereas research and technological development can sti- mulate economic growth and as a result lead to the creation of lasting employment; (Amendment 9) Recital 8b (new) Whereas, in accordance with Article 130h of the Treaty, Member States should be actively encouraged to coordi- nate their research and technological development activi- ties; C 14/130 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT (Amendment 10) Recital 8c (new) Whereas the HCM programme has done a great deal to promote the mobility of researchers. As a result, it has exposed a need to enable young and gifted researchers to break new ground in their field; (Amendment 11) Recital 8d (new) Whereas specific grants, focusing on the researcher or a small group of researchers, rather than the large project structure which is today more common in Community projects, would serve to fulfil this need. They would by their nature be independent of subject area or of research institution. The only criteria would be the novelty and scientific quality of the proposed work; (Amendment 12) Recital 8e (new) Whereas, if the young, gifted and innovative researcher goes beyond his/her research goals, and starts independent- ly to seek innovative business potential in technology, today’s R&D instruments give very little means to release small grants very quickly, to stimulate the development of such ideas. Such young innovator grants should be intro- duced, to stimulate Europe(cid:146)s innovative spirit at grass- roots; (Amendment 13) Recital 9 Whereas the formulation and implementation of the Commun- ity(cid:146)s policies and actions must take into account the objectives related to economic and social cohesion; whereas, in accord- ance with this principle, the framework programme must contribute to the harmonious development of the Community while maintaining scientific excellence as an essential criter- ion; whereas it is therefore necessary to strengthen the synergy between research and technological development activities and the action undertaken by the Community through the structural funds; Whereas the formulation and implementation of the Commun- ity(cid:146)s policies and actions must take into account the objectives related to economic and social cohesion; whereas, in accord- ance with this principle, the framework programme must contribute to the harmonious development of the Community while maintaining scientific excellence as the basic and binding essential criterion in the selection of individual research projects; whereas it is therefore necessary to strengthen the synergy between research and technological development activities and the action undertaken by the Community through the structural funds wherever this is possible and is not achieved at the expense of the scientific excellence of the support for research; whereas the Mem- ber States are particularly responsible for such coordina- tion; 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/131 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT (Amendment 14) Recital 10 Whereas, in accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality as provided for in Article 3b of the Treaty, the objectives of Community research and technological develop- ment policy reflected in the fifth framework programme cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, since they require the establishment of a critical mass in human and financial terms and a combination of expertise exceeding the confines of a single Member State; whereas these objectives can therefore, in view of the multiplier effects that they generate, be better achieved at Community level; whereas this Decision is limited to the minimum required to achieve these objectives and does not exceed what is necessary to this end; Whereas, in accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality as provided for in Article 3b of the Treaty, the objectives of Community research and technological develop- ment policy reflected in the fifth framework programme cannot be sufficiently achieved, at the level of the Member States; whereas, because of their scale or their effects, they may be better achieved at Community level; whereas this Decision is limited to the minimum required to achieve these objectives and does not exceed what is necessary to this end; (Amendment 15) Recital 11 Whereas the Community(cid:146)s financial participation in the actions of the framework programme may be varied at the level of the specific programmes according to the nature of the activities concerned and the proximity of the market, in specific and duly justified cases, in compliance with interna- tional rules and the provisions of the Community framework for State aid for research and development, in particular points 5. 12 and 5. 13 thereof; Whereas the Community(cid:146)s financial participation in the actions of the framework programme may be varied at the level of the specific programmes in accordance with the principles laid down in this Decision, especially in Annex IV thereto, in compliance with international rules and the provisions of the Community framework for State aid for research and develop- ment, in particular points 5. 12 and 5. 13 thereof; (Amendment 16) Recital 11a (new) Whereas the budgetary authority will make every effort to reach the maximum overall amounts, provided that the financial perspective for the forthcoming period is compa- tible with the justified requirements of all the other policies; (Amendment 17) Recital 11b (new) Whereas it will be necessary to revise the maximum overall amount provided for the fifth framework programme upon the accession of new Member States before the expiry of the framework programme; (Amendment 162) Recital 11c (new) Whereas the administrative expenditure arising from research activities has to be financed within the general amount fixed for the framework programme, but has to be budgetized in a transparent way; whereas the budgetary authority requires from the Commission a comparable detailed analysis of administrative expenditure and of its implementation throughout the budget; C 14/132 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT (Amendment 18) Recital 11d (new) Whereas, with a view to boosting the overall competitive- ness of Community industry and services and deriving greater benefit from the contributions from public funds, it is necessary to recognize the need to establish more harmonized rules and simplified procedures for participa- tion in the programmes;

The priorities concern the networking and optimum use, at Community level, of computing centres for industrial research, high-power wind tunnels, specialised databases, laboratories and facilities for measurements and tests, and laboratories and facilities for nano and micro technologies (Amendment 78) Annex II(II), First Activity (3a)(A)(a), title and introduction (new) (a) Energy for the future Energy is the basis of all economic activity and develop- ment. Simultaneously with the constantly increasing use of energy, more and more problems arise with regard not only to the sustainable availability of individual energy sources, but also with regard to the environmental impact, including the overall impact on the climate, resulting from such use. The objective of this thematic programme is, therefore, to study the conditions required for stable ecosystems and, in particular, to promote research into the sustainable use of available energy sources and their economical and efficient use as well as to investigate possible new forms of energy generation, use and distribution and saving. C 14/160 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT At the same time, it is of special importance that the activities combined under this thematic programme should be seen in connection with the Euratom framework research programme, which thus constitutes a substantive addition to the key actions set out here as far as aspects of nuclear research and the safe use of nuclear energy are concerned. To ensure the utmost coordination and to promote a maximum of scientific and technological exchange between these two research programmes the Management Commit- tee responsible for energy research under this framework programme shall coordinate its activities in the appro- priate way with the Management Committee set up for the Euratom research programme. (Amendment 79) Annex II(II), First Activity (3a)(A)(b) (new) (b) Environment, sustainable development and cultural heritage Some of the many changes in our cities and rural areas as well as the effects of global changes have far-reaching consequences for the environment, the quality of life and the preservation of our cultural heritage. Securing sustain- able development is not only a Community political objec- tive in its own right, but, at the same time, a prior condition if the Community is to be competitive on the markets of tomorrow with clean and intelligent products and pro- cesses which conserve resources or renew them to a substantial extent. The aim of these key actions is, there- fore, to carry out research into and to analyse in particular the general and specific environmental problems arising from economic activities and their subsequent changes in society. The compilation, development, dissemination and application of the knowledge required to that end are also of decisive importance for the devising and implementation of European environmental policy in many policy areas, e. g. transport, energy, urban development, agriculture and the rural world and coastal areas. Research into global change and the factors behind it to which particular attention will be paid in this thematic programme continues to represent a special challenge.

Confirming the international role of Community research. The main purposes of the (cid:145)international cooperation(cid:146) activity are to contribute significantly to the implementation of the Community(cid:146)s external policy, especially towards the Central and East European accession candidates, and to help the Community establish industrial cooperation and open up new markets 1. Promotion of cooperation with third countries and international organizations in the field of Community research, technological development and demonstration activities. The main purpose of this activity is to promote internation- al cooperation in the areas in which the Community is active in the field of research, technological development and demonstration activities. Special attention will be paid in this context to cooperation between the Community and the applicant countries from Central and Eastern Europe and to cooperation with those countries which, in the field of research, are concerned with issues which are also of outstanding importance for the Community. At the same time, promotion of international cooperation in the field of research should promote the further objectives of the Treaty, in particular those of the common foreign and security policy, wherever this is possible. In the context of the Community(cid:146)s external policy, and with the accession of new Member States in mind, the general objec- tives of the (cid:145)international cooperation(cid:146) activity are: The general objectives of the activity are: (Amendment 83) Annex II(II), Second Activity (1), second subparagraph, first indent › to promote scientific and technological cooperation between organizations and researchers from third coun- tries and from the Community, likely to produce signifi- cant and balanced benefits for both sides (cooperation for (cid:145)mutual benefit(cid:146)), › to promote scientific and technological cooperation between organizations and researchers from third coun- tries and from the Community, likely to produce signifi- cant and balanced benefits for both sides (cooperation for (cid:145)mutual benefit(cid:146)) on the basis of full and complete reciprocity in terms of open participation, dissemina- tion and exploitation, following, in particular, the procedures of the agreement on intelligent production systems (IMS), (Amendment 84) Annex II(II), Second Activity (1)(a), introduction On the basis of the cooperation policies the Community frames according to this relations with its various potential partners, three categories of action will be implemented, linked to specific problems facing these countries and not covered by the other activities of the framework programme. These actions will be financed through the specific (cid:145)international cooperation(cid:146) activity: Three specific activities shall be defined which, on the one hand, are linked to specific problems facing the respective partner countries and, at the same time, are of special importance for the Community. The measures involved shall not be covered by other measures in the framework programme and shall be financed exclusively as part of this specific programme to promote international cooperation. 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/163 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT (Amendment 85) Annex II(II), Second Activity (1)(a), first indent › Cooperation with certain categories of country: › Cooperation with certain categories of country: CEECs: Promotion of their centres of excellence, CEECs: Expansion and promotion of common Euro- pean centres of excellence in selected areas; networking of research infrastructure, Mediterranean third countries: notably, regional aspects of managing the Mediterranean Sea, support for socio- economic development including the information society, preservation of cultural heritage, Mediterranean third countries: concerted action and target projects with regard to regional aspects of managing the Mediterranean Sea, preservation of cultural heritage, NIS: Support for their research and technological develop- ment potential, specific targeted actions (satellite applica- tions, regional problems linked to the environment and health), NIS: Support for their research and technological develop- ment potential, specific targeted actions (e. g. satellite applications, regional problems linked to the environment and health), Developing countries (including Mediterranean and (cid:145)emerging economy(cid:146) countries): study of the mechanisms and socio-economic conditions of sustainable develop- ment (for example agro-industrial research, energy sys- tems); support for integrating productivity requirements and respect for the environment into these countries(cid:146) ecosystems (for example water management); work to prevent and combat major diseases specific to these countries and to make their public health systems more effective, Developing countries (including Mediterranean coun- tries): in conjunction with the Community Funds assist- ing these countries, development of their scientific and technical potential, encouraging cooperation within other specific programmes and major target projects assisting their sustainable development in the fields of agro-industry, energy systems, the environment (in- cluding climatology), health, information and commu- nications, (Amendment 108) Annex II(II), Second Activity (1)(a), first indent, subparagraph 4a (new) Industrialized and emerging economy countries: exchange of information, concerted action and conclusion, in the European Union(cid:146)s interests, of scientific and technical cooperation agreements.

The definition of SMEs given in the fifth framework programme differs from the generally accepted definition, setting the ceiling for SMEs at 500 employees. This depar- ture is justified by the fact that it is SMEs of this kind in particular, i. e. those with between 250 and 500 employees, which carry out their own research and development and which would otherwise be largely excluded from the specific research support provided by this programme. This different definition shall apply only in connection with the fifth framework programme. If small and medium-sized businesses are to benefit to the full from innovation and the results thereof, the establish- ment of clusters is very important. There are two forms of cluster. Firstly, there are clusters of subcontractors (SMEs) and larger businesses. Secondly, cross-border clusters of small and medium-sized businesses working in the same horizontal sector can contribute to innovation and the dissemination and transfer of the results of scientific work. In order to encourage participation and reduce the admin- istrative burden on SMEs, sectoral organizations may act as administrators and/or contract partners for consortia. 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/165 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT (Amendments 89 and 122) Annex II(II), Third Activity (1)(a)(i) › rationalization and coordination at Community level of networks providing information and assistance on the Community(cid:146)s research and innovation activities, manage- ment in concert with the programmes, of the support network for innovation and technology transfer; consoli- dation of the mechanisms for gathering and disseminating information, such as the Cordis information service (joint action: innovation/SMEs); › creation and development of assistance activities in the area of intellectual property rights and access to private finance, notably venture capital funds (joint action: innov- ation/SMEs), › definition, in concert with the programmes, of mechan- isms (value analyses, market research, training) to facili- tate, in the life-cycle of projects, the exploitation, private financing and transfer of technologies and results pro- duced, while guaranteeing protection of the knowledge acquired, › development, to this end, of the idea of (cid:145)innovation units(cid:146) to be set up in the programmes, coordination of their activities and help in creating innovative start-ups, prin- cipally via European organizations and funds (European Investment Fund, European Investment Bank, and the Eurotech Capital scheme), › conception and definition of new methodologies for technology transfer actions integrating the technological, economic and social aspects of innovation, Action specific to the (cid:145)innovation and participation of SMEs(cid:146) activity › rationalization and coordination at Community level of networks providing information and assistance on the Community(cid:146)s research and innovation activities; › consolidation of the mechanisms for gathering and dis- seminating information, such as the Cordis information service (joint action: innovation/SMEs); › creation and development of assistance activities for female entrepreneurs to promote their access to know- how and networks for innovation, access to private/ public financing and assistance in creating innovative start-ups.

The competent authorities shall also be satisfied that the institution(cid:146)s models continue to be reasonably accurate, as evidenced by a regular back-testing programme to be con- ducted by the institution. 3. The institution shall monitor the accuracy and perfor- mance of its model by conducting a backtesting pro- gramme. The backtesting has to provide for each business day a comparison of the one-day value-at-risk measure C 14/174 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT generated by the institution(cid:146)s model for the portfolio(cid:146)s end-of-day positions with the one-day change of the port- folio(cid:146)s value by the end of the subsequent business day. Competent authorities shall monitor the development by institutions of the capability to perform backtesting on both actual and, assuming unchanged end-of-day positions, hypothetical changes in the portfolio(cid:146)s value. Backtesting on hypothetical changes in the portfolio(cid:146)s value is based upon a comparison between the portfolio(cid:146)s end-of-day value and, assuming unchanged positions, its value at the end of the subsequent day. (Amendment 3) ANNEX II Annex VIII(4a) (new) (Directive 93/6/EEC) 4a. For the purpose of calculating capital requirements for specific risk associated with traded debt and equity positions the competent authorities may recognise the use of an institution(cid:146)s internal model if in addition to com- pliance with the conditions in the remainder of this Annex the model: › explains the historical price variation in the portfolio, › captures concentration in terms of magnitude and changes of composition of the portfolio, › is robust to an adverse environment, and › is validated through backtesting aimed at assessing whether specific risk is being accurately captured. If competent authorities allow this backtesting to be performed on the basis of relevant sub-portfolios these must be chosen in a consistent manner. (Amendment 16) ANNEX II Annex VIII(5) (Directive 93/6/EEC) 5. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, institutions using models shall be subject to a separate capital charge to cover the specific risk of traded debt instruments and equities as described in Annex I to the extent that the competent authori- ties consider that this risk is not incorporated sufficiently into their models. The competent authorities shall in any case set a minimum specific risk charge of 50% of the charge as calculated according to Annex I for institutions using models. Institutions using internal models which are not in 5. accordance with paragraph 4 shall be subject to a separate capital charge in respect of the specific risk calculated according to Annex I. 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/175 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT (Amendment 4) ANNEX II Annex VIII(7), second subparagraph (Directive 93/6/EEC) The value-at-risk number calculated by means of the model shall be compared with the actual change in value of the portfolio. Backtesting shall be carried out daily on the basis of both effective and, assuming unchanged end-of-day positions, hypothetical changes in the portfolio value. The value-at-risk number calculated by means of the model shall be compared with the actual change in value of the portfolio. Backtesting shall be carried out daily on the basis of effective or, assuming unchanged end-of-day positions, hypo- thetical changes in the portfolio value. The value-at-risk number subject to the backtesting must correspond to a holding period of one (1) day. Before using an internal model to determine its own funds, the institution shall also obtain the approval of the competent authorities, inter alia, for the type of changes (effective or hypothetical) to be used in its backtesting. The institution must also apply the method selected consistently. At all events, the competent authorities shall monitor the institutions(cid:146) development of the scope for backtesting on the basis of effective and, assuming unchanged end-of-day positions, hypothetical changes in the portfolio value. (Amendment 5) ANNEX II Annex VIII(7), third subparagraph (Directive 93/6/EEC) If the change in portfolio value exceeds the value-at-risk calculated using the model, the target has been overshot. The number of overshootings, as set out in Table 5, shall be based on a spot check of 250 values. If the change in portfolio value exceeds the value-at-risk calculated using the model, the target has been overshot. The number of overshootings, as set out in Table 5, shall be based on a statistical sample of daily values covering the 250 most recent working days. For the purpose of determining the (cid:145)plus(cid:146) factor, the number of overshootings shall be determined at least quarterly. (Amendment 6) ANNEX II Annex VIII(7) fourth, fifth and sixth subparagraphs (Directive 93/6/EEC) The competent authorities can, in individual cases, waive the requirement to add a plus factor if, owing to an exceptional situation, an increase in the multiplication factor would be unjustified and the model is basically sound. In this context, the institution has to prove that an increase would be unjustified. The competent authorities can, in individual cases, waive the requirement to increase the multiplication factor by the plus factor in accordance with Table 5 if the institution has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authori- ties that such an increase is unjustified and that the model is basically sound. In the event of numerous overshootings, the competent auth- ority shall revoke the model(cid:146)s recognition or impose appro- priate measures to ensure that the model is improved promptly. If numerous overshootings indicate that the model is not sufficiently accurate the competent authorities shall revoke the model(cid:146)s recognition or impose appropriate measures to ensure that the model is improved promptly. C 14/176 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT The institution is to record all overshootings ascertained by backtesting, together with the reasons for them, and to notify the competent authorities immediately of the extent of the overshootings and the reasons for them. The institution is to record all overshootings ascertained by backtesting, together with the reasons for them, and to notify the competent authorities, without undue delay, and in any case no later than five working days after the day on which the error was noted. (Amendment 7) ANNEX II Annex VIII(7a) (new) (Directive 93/6/EEC) 7a. If for the purpose of calculating capital requirements for specific risk the institution(cid:146)s model is recognised by the competent authorities in accordance with paragraph 4 the multiplication factor to be applied to the specific risk portion of the institution(cid:146)s value-at-risk measure shall be increased to 4. If the institution(cid:146)s backtesting indicates that the model does not sufficiently accurately capture specific risk the competent authorities shall revoke the model(cid:146)s recognition for the purpose of calculating capital require- ments for specific risk or impose appropriate measures to ensure that the model is improved promptly. (Amendment 8) ANNEX II Annex VIII(7b) (new) (Directive 93/6/EEC) 7b.

Recognizes the effort to increase transparency made by the Commission in its communication which lays the foundations for a more detailed study and assessment in the future of the components of energy policy and will improve coordination of the instruments now available to the European Union to carry out the tasks conferred on it by the Treaty for the benefit of its citizens and the competitiveness of its businesses; 2. Calls for European energy policies to be brought together in a chapter on energy in the EC Treaty; 3. Asks to be involved, via the codecision procedure, in Community decisions on energy policy; 4. Calls on the Commission to include in future in its preparatory work on proposals concerning Community policy and action in the energy sector a clear justification of the impact of the relevant proposals on the achievement of the Community(cid:146)s tasks, in particular lasting environmental protection and improving the level of employment, standard of living and quality of life in the Member States; 5. Considers it crucial for the development of energy policy guidelines that the Commission should strengthen the role of the European Energy Observatory, as a means of defining appropriate general guidelines for the future on the conditions surrounding security of supply and trends in regional supply stability, in particular with regard to the main transportation routes for electricity, natural gas and oil and constituting a reliable point of reference for operators and the market; 6. Calls on the Commission to make regular assessments and analyses of the energy and environmental policies pursued by Member States so as to study and improve, possibly as a preliminary step towards the creation of a common framework for cooperation, the degree of compatibility between national energy and environmental objectives and those adopted by the European Union, and the costs arising from shortcomings in or the absence of such compatibility, in particular with a view to future enlargement of the EU, and to inform the European Parliament of all this at a suitably early stage, in particular by using planning and training centres and institutes; Considers that the strengthening of political agreement on the development and application of 7. renewable energies must be extended to include environmental and energy efficiency and optimization in the consumption of intensively used energy sources, particularly in view of the steady growth in the consumption of natural gas, while at the same time recalling that excessive dependence on natural gas may be a risk for the Union in the long term; 8. Advocates that any compensation arrangements introduced to allow the substantial investments required for the desired commercial application of renewable energy sources should not result in citizens bearing the economic brunt of such (cid:145)technological restructuring(cid:146); 9. Deplores the drastic cuts made by the Council in the energy chapter of the Community budget, which have created considerable uncertainty as to the future of European instruments already established on the basis of the Altener, Thermie and Save programmes, and in particular those covering international cooperation in this area; 10. Calls on the Commission to give sufficient advance thought to the transparency of external action in the energy sector so as to facilitate information, scrutiny and thorough consideration by the European Parliament of cooperation with non-member countries under the PHARE, TACIS and MEDA aid and cooperation programmes, those for Asia and Latin America and the EDF, and of the guidelines for implementing the pan-European electricity and natural gas networks, in view of the many cases in which the information phase has been disregarded; C 14/180 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 11. Points to the need for indirect Community research and technological development measures under the fourth framework programme to allow wide scope for innovative energy technologies capable of providing an adequate response to the desire to give preference to renewable sources and current demand for applications and consumption of natural gas, particularly in sectors such as liquefaction, transportation and regasification, in view of the potential of new forms of supply from remote areas; recognizes furthermore that, taking into the account the important role played by the nuclear sector in producing electricity in the European Union and its contribution to reducing energy dependence, the Community institutions should take part in its development, given the potential of nuclear power to increase the range of energy options, and in particular to reduce the EU(cid:146)s CO2 emissions in accordance with international agreements; 12. Recalls its support for the drawing up of a framework programme for EU energy policy contributing to clarifying and focusing Community initiatives in this field and ensuring a level of multiannual funding which would allow the deployment of significant measures, in particular in the field of renewable energy, but without any structural reduction in the funding available; 13. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and the Council. 8.

Welcomes the European Council’s decision on the accession and negotiating process, starting with a meeting on 30 March 1998 between the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the 15 Member States, of the ten applicant countries of Central and Eastern Europe and of Cyprus; Furthermore underlines the fact, as does the European Council, that all these countries’ applications 6. for accession will be judged according to the same criteria and that they participate in the accession process on an equal footing; 7. Welcomes the creation of the (cid:145)accession partnership(cid:146) for each of the applicant countries as an instrument to bring together that country’s efforts in adopting and implementing the acquis communau- taire and fulfilling the Copenhagen criteria, on the one hand, and all available financial assistance from EU sources, including the PHARE programme, on the other; Regrets that the European Council makes no reference to consultation of Parliament on the common 8. framework for the partnerships and on the content of the individual partnership agreements; 9. Agrees with the European Council on the countries which have made the most progress in meeting the criteria for the accession and negotiating process and reiterates its call for intensive negotiations with those countries to begin, while reinforcing and accelerating the preparation of negotiations with the remaining countries; 10. Stresses, as does the European Council, that the opening of the accession and negotiating process with all applicant countries together, and the start of intensive bilateral negotiations with six of them, does not automatically imply that these negotiations will be concluded for the various applicant countries at the same time; Requests that also the Slovak Republic benefit from the reinforced pre-accession strategy so that 11. negotiations can start immediately when the political conditions laid down in Copenhagen are met, and in order to continue to adapt its economy to the conditions of the single market; calls, in particular, for the accession partnership to be negotiated with this country to make provision for measures in the sphere of democracy › including minority rights › and for the democracy-related appropriations from the PHARE programme to be used to support the measures which will be determined by joint agreement in this sphere; 12. Shares the European Council’s view of the special significance of Cypriot accession; welcomes the commitment of the Presidency and the Commission, in cooperation with the Government of Cyprus, to secure the inclusion of representatives of the Turkish Cypriot community in the accession negotiation delegation, and calls on Turkey to refrain from any unilateral steps that may hinder the accession process; 13. Welcomes the decision to create the European Conference inviting the applicant countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Cyprus and Turkey to meet the EU Member States; requests the European Council to reconsider its refusal to invite the President of Parliament to the meeting at the level of Heads of State and Government, including the Commission President; 14. Recalls its view that there is a need for a special relationship with Turkey at a high level that goes beyond the existing Customs Union; welcomes the European Council(cid:146)s confirmation of Turkish eligibility for accession to the EU, its commitment to judge Turkey by the same criteria as the other applicant states, and its recognition that a strategy must be drawn up to prepare it for accession; calls on Turkey to re-examine its early reaction to the invitation to participate in the European Conference; urges Turkey to look again at the real opportunities which these decisions offer for an ever closer relationship; C 14/182 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 15. Calls on the Commission and the Council to provide specific confirmation of the fact that the development aid policy implemented by the European Union, in particular by means of the Lome· conventions, is one of the Union(cid:146)s permanent features which must be perpetuated and which the countries applying for accession will be required to accept; Evolution of Union policies: Agenda 2000 16. Notes the European Council(cid:146)s response to the Agenda 2000 proposals on the evolution of Union policies, recalls its views, as set out in its abovementioned resolutions of 4 December 1997, and awaits with interest the proposals which the Council has invited the Commission to present on Union policies and on the financial framework; 17. Calls on the Commission to present all the reforms of the different Common Market Organizations as outlined in Agenda 2000, including the Mediterranean products and ensuring a coherent approach to all sectors, and to extend the 1992 CAP reform to cover the major Mediterranean products; recalls that the objectives of cohesion, the quality and safety of agricultural products and better integration of environmental elements into production methods are still the foundations of future agricultural policy; 18. Emphasizes the desirability of carrying out a review of the system of own resources; 19. Welcomes the decision to base financial support to the countries in the enlargement process on the principle of equal treatment, with particular attention to those countries with the greatest need; 20.

Welcomes the progress achieved over the last six months in this area, and shares the regret of the European Council that an important step in the fight against organized crime › the ratification of the Europol Convention › has not yet been completed; regrets that, to date, none of the third pillar conventions adopted has been ratified by all Member States; regrets also the continuing inertia in the Council over the free movement of persons; The Middle East peace process 47.

Commission(cid:146)s work programme for 1998 B4-1027, 1028, 1029, 1030, 1031 and 1032/97 Resolution on implementation of the legislative programme and other activities for 1997 and on the Commission(cid:146)s work programme for 1998 The European Parliament, › having regard to the interinstitutional agreement on democracy, transparency and subsidiarity of 25 October 1993 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission concerning transparency in the decision-making process of the Union(cid:146)s institutions (1), › having regard to the Code of Conduct agreed on 15 March 1995 between the European Parliament and the Commission (2), › having regard to the Commission report on implementation of the Commission(cid:146)s programme for 1997 (SEC(97)1854), › having regard to the Commission(cid:146)s work programme for 1998 (COM(97)0517) and the new legislative initiatives (SEC(97)1852), › having regard to the declaration made on 22 October 1997 by Mr Santer, President of the Commission, and to the debate on that declaration as well as to the debate of 17 December 1997 devoted to the same subject, A. whereas the annual legislative programme constitutes an indispensable interinstitutional instrument for programming and coordinating the Union’s activities in a transparent and efficient way and in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, and whereas the Council must also be involved in it, B. whereas the legislative programme is an interinstitutional programme, which must be assessed on the basis of the priorities laid down by the institutions concerned, I. Giving new impetus to interinstitutional cooperation as regards the legislative programme Deplores the fact that, like the 1996 programme, the 1997 programme has only been partially 1. implemented, given in particular that, of the 16 new legislative proposals promised by the Commission, Parliament had received no more than seven by the end of November; emphasizes that the assessment of the 1997 programme remains a dead letter in so far as the Commission has failed to give practical form to the proposals it announced but did not actually submit; expects a detailed explanation as to why proposals announced in 1997 but not yet submitted are now no longer even included in the 1998 legislative programme (notably most of the legislative proposals provided for in the Action Plan for the Single Market); notes, further, that Parliament has had referred to it 40 procedures and 14 strategic documents which did not appear either in the 1997 legislative programme or in the programme for 1996; 2. Deplores the fact that 197 issues are currently pending before the Council awaiting a final decision and that 88 are awaiting a common position without Parliament having been informed in all cases of the reason for the deadlock and without the Commission having made use of its right of initiative to break the deadlock; 3. Reiterates its call for the list of actions envisaged for 1998 to contain information on the legal bases of the proposals, a timetable for their submission and any other information required for the interinstitutional coordination of work; asks, on grounds of transparency, for the new legislative initiatives to be submitted to Parliament at the same time as the adaptations or technical amendments to existing legislation, and for the latter to be given the status of official Commission documents; (1) OJ C 329, 6. 12. 1993, p. 132. (2) OJ C 89, 10. 4. 1995, p. 69. C 14/186 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 4. Calls on the Commission to draw up a list of legislative proposals under way and currently pending before the Council, indicating those which should be withdrawn and those which should be replaced by new proposals; calls on the Commission to ensure that any withdrawal of proposals is done in agreement with the European Parliament and that Parliament is officially informed in each case of the intended withdrawal; points out, in this context, that several parliamentary committees have given the Commission information as to the proposals to be withdrawn or replaced; Notes the increasing number of strategic documents (communications, Green Papers, etc. ) submitted 5. by the Commission, which rose from nine in 1990 to 104 in 1996, notes, further, that it had already received 57 such documents by the end of the first half of 1997; is concerned that many such strategic documents are too wordy, insufficiently geared towards results and are rarely followed by legislative proposals; rejects on principle the withdrawal of legislative proposals already submitted and their replacement by strategic documents; 6. Calls on the Commission to anticipate the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam and take the necessary steps to ensure that the reforms adopted may be implemented as soon as ratification has taken place; in this context, expects in particular the proposal on the revision of the commitology decision of 13 July 1987 which was announced by President Santer for early June 1998, a proposal on the alteration of the legal bases of the pending proposals, which must be submitted in good time for Parliament to be able to adopt its position thereon before the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, and the proposal on access to documents provided for in Article 191a of the EC Treaty, a proposal which must also determine the boundary between legislative and executive activity; 7. Is concerned at the fact that most of the proposals for codification submitted by the Commission are not yet adopted and calls on the Commission to undertake a detailed and quantified assessment as regards codification and simplification; Calls for the extension of the SLIM project to other areas such as the environment, free movement of 8. and social security for migrant workers, health and safety at work, and public procurement; Recalls that the Commission is obliged to take action on requests from Parliament for legislative 9. initiatives in accordance with Article 138b of the EC Treaty and calls on the Commission to submit proposals as soon as possible based on the requests addressed to it (resolutions of 4 May 1994 on fire safety in hotels (1), 20 April 1994 on preventing and remedying environmental damage (2), 17 April 1996 on the European health card (3), and 30 January 1997 on the European Union(cid:146)s forestry strategy (4)); 10. Concludes that interinstitutional cooperation as regards legislative planning is simply not working and that the Commission, which has the right to propose legislation, is not honouring its own commitments; proposes, henceforth, the regular assessment › on the basis of a written document › of the implementation of the legislative programme involving meetings between representatives of the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament; II. The work programme for 1998 Defines its political priorities as follows and calls for the legislative programme for 1998 to be 11. applied and supplemented by the measures outlined below; 12. Hopes that, following the statement made on 19 November 1997 by Mr Oreja, Member of the Commission, the report setting out proposals for a comprehensive reform of the Treaties will be submitted in good time, i. e. before the European Council meeting in December 1998; Regrets that the Commission(cid:146)s stated commitment to the principle of mainstreaming is not 13. explicitly reiterated in the context of its general political priorities for 1998; (1) OJ C 205, 25. 7. 1994, p. 163.

Reminds the Commission of its undertaking to involve Parliament to the greatest possible extent when dealing with the proposals for the reform of the Structural Funds, announced for March 1998 in connection with Agenda 2000, including pre-accession instruments; 24. Supports the Commission’s plans for a proposal for a Directive on direct taxation on savings; stresses that the Code of Conduct should be regarded as no more than an initial step towards harmonization in the area of company taxation; supports more employment-friendly taxation, in particular through a shift from labour to other sources of taxation; in this context calls for the introduction of a special form of VAT on labour-intensive services which are not subject to cross-border competition; 25.

Olives and olive oil A4-0374/97 Resolution on the Note to the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament on the olive and olive oil sector (including economic, cultural, regional, social and environmental aspects), the current common market organization, the need for a reform and the alternatives envisaged › Options Paper (COM(97)0057 › C4-0096/97) The European Parliament, › having regard to the Commission’s note to the Council and Parliament, COM(97)0057 › C4-0096/97, › having regard to its resolution of 25 October 1996 on the reform of the COM in olive oil (1), › having regard to the report of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the opinions of the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment, the Committee on Regional Policy and the Committee on Budgetary Control (A4-0374/97), A. whereas the COM in olive oil has operated efficiently, allowing the olive sector to tackle competition from other vegetable oils and fats which enjoy a high level of support and to develop external markets, and has not given rise to surpluses; whereas in oil-producing regions it has played a dual role as a marketing policy and as a way of stimulating rural development; whereas, however, a thoroughgoing reform of the common organization of the market in olive oil is needed as a matter of the utmost urgency for the fundamental reason that in the previous four marketing years at least there has been a serious crisis affecting the main mechanisms for determining the quantities of olive oil produced by each individual country and that every year there is a serious risk that the Commission may refuse payment of Community aid, leading to a permanent and indiscriminate reduction in the income guarantees for olive growers and the possibility of serious repercussions for all those working in the European olive and olive oil sector, (1) OJ C 347, 18. 11. 1996, p. 465. 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/191 Thursday 18 December 1997 B. whereas two million holdings depend on olive-growing and the sector provides 750 000 full-time jobs; whereas the producing regions are characterized by their peripheral position and the need for economic and social cohesion, they are the EU regions most dependent on agriculture, they have a rate of unemployment twice the Community average and they are sensitive in both environmental and regional planning terms; whereas olives are a key crop in this situation, where there are few alternatives, C. having regard to the internationally recognized dietary advantages of olive oil as a basic ingredient of a healthy diet and the benefits it offers, D. whereas the analysis of the sector offered in the options paper presented by the Commission has serious shortcomings: the information is not homogeneous, it contradicts itself, it contains a great deal of data which are either not up-to-date or of dubious origin and reliability and, above all, there are a number of gaps in the information needed to diagnose the problems of the sector, E. whereas the Commission document only deals partially with one of the two options, aid per tree, and does not deal with any aspect of improving the current system; whereas this imbalance detracts from its usefulness as an options paper, F. whereas the Commission recognizes the shortage of statistics to be a serious problem, but nevertheless proposes the use of statistics which it itself acknowledges are dubious as a basis for investigating the two options envisaged, G. whereas the criticisms made of the Commission document as a basis for the drafting of legislative proposals were discussed in detail by the experts who took part in the public hearing held by Parliament(cid:146)s Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development on 15 April 1997, H. whereas the socio-economic, climatic and environmental conditions of the producing regions are critical; whereas when carrying out a reform, it is necessary to consider all the options and to carry out a rigorous assessment of the social, economic and environmental impact of each of them; whereas the Commission document does not assess this impact, I. whereas when formulating proposals for a reform the Commission should analyse employment and the use of the factors of production in olive-growing and other possible forms of cultivation, as well as carrying out an historical analysis of the sector by country and region and a full assessment of its role in disadvantaged regions, J. whereas in considering the future of the market, the Commission uses International Olive Oil Council (IOOC) projections, based on figures from before 1992-1993, which do not reflect the developments on external markets; whereas, furthermore, the references to Community demand are based on a year with abnormally high prices, after three years of drought; whereas after a normal marketing year and the consequent fall in prices, internal demand has recovered and, therefore, the Commission’s assessments should be revised to include more recent figures, K. whereas there are market studies and analyses to suggest a great increase in demand and the EU should safeguard its position as the world’s leading producer, consumer and exporter, L. whereas export refunds consume some 3% of expenditure in the COM in olive oil and only 1% of total refunds in all sectors; whereas despite this fact the Commission justifies the need for reform in the possible requirements of the WTO and its justification does not have the necessary relevance, M. whereas the EU produces more than 80% of the world’s olive oil, third countries which produce olive oil have guaranteed adequate access to the Community market under trade agreements and the equivalences scheme; whereas, therefore, there is no conflict to be expected in the WTO and hence the Commission’s fears to this effect seem to be groundless, C 14/192 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 N. whereas the Commission has not fulfilled the task assigned it by Regulation (EEC) 2261/84 and amendments, which obliged it to submit to the Council, before 1 January 1995, a report on the operation of the production aid system and, if appropriate, a proposal for revising this system; whereas the report is essential for the design of a system to control possible fraud, O. whereas the cases of fraud detected must be investigated thoroughly, since they involve a very small number of operators, which should make it easy to carry out effective checks; whereas, on the other hand, there are specialized monitoring bodies in this sector, whose main task is to detect fraud, P. whereas the Commission only makes proposals for the fraud monitoring system for the option of aid per tree, Q. whereas in 1992 the Commission set up the (cid:145)Lachaux’ group of experts for the simplification of the CAP which, in its report, advocated concentrating inspections on authorized oil mills, since they constitute an inevitable stage in oil production; whereas the report referred to the possibility of introducing another specific aid mechanism for small holdings, R whereas, despite the repeated adjustments and amendments made to it over the years, long experience of implementing the COM in olive oil has shown that genuine and effective streamlining of the procedures governing Community support is needed as a matter of urgency, S. whereas in recent years consumption aid has had little influence on olive oil consumption trends; whereas it is not a measure which solely benefits olive oil produced in the EU, since it may also be granted under certain conditions to oils from outside the Community; whereas in any case such aid cannot be maintained and strengthened under the COM in olive oil since it is a measure which could easily be challenged by the WTO on the grounds that it distorts competition, T. whereas a new integrated control system could be based on the requirement to market oil in any of its forms, including self-regulated consumption, as a condition for releasing aid; whereas an aid and control system based on marketing would be efficient and reliable, since the bottling industries have, in principle, an appropriate administrative and accounting structure; whereas such a system would enable the monitoring bodies to obtain exhaustive information on movements of oils and an accounting system for stocks, making it possible to carry out cross-checks within an integrated system and enabling progress to be made on the harmonization and complementarity of policies, U. whereas there are two million olive growing holdings in the European Union that can be easily monitored with the systems applied in some EU Member States and whereas the different treatment accorded to small and large producers should be ended with regard to controls on production aid; whereas, with this in view, the consumption aid system should be abolished in order to focus controls on production and enhance the efficiency of the bodies carrying out this task, V. whereas the introduction of aid per tree as the Commission has proposed will, since it will not protect actual production, entail environmental risks, the danger of depopulation of the countryside and the introduction of speculative plantations; whereas any form of flat-rate aid, including aid per tree, not only does not ensure that farmers’ incomes are maintained but does not take into account two fundamental objectives, quality and market stability, in view of the great annual fluctuations in production, W. whereas harvesting olives accounts for 80% of labour costs and 70% of variable costs; whereas in the case of aid per tree as proposed, which would not protect actual production, the right to subsidy would be triggered at a very low level of expenditure and would mean a much weaker link with production costs than in other forms of production which receive direct aid based on production costs, whereas direct aid in the cereals sector is granted when 85% of the costs have been borne, in the case of cattle premiums 98%, but in the olive sector when only 15% of farming costs have been incurred, 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/193 Thursday 18 December 1997 X. whereas aid per tree as proposed will, since it will not protect actual production, lead to a considerable reduction in the workforce, by encouraging the reduction of farming expenditure to a minimum, which might lead to farmers not harvesting olives in certain circumstances, in order to maximize the earnings of the recipient of the aid; whereas employment would fall in the regions with highest unemployment, which are most dependent on agriculture and have the lowest GDP in the EU, Y. whereas one of the objectives laid down in the Amsterdam Treaty is the promotion of a high level of employment through appropriate cooordination of economic policies; whereas the options considered by the Commission are not compatible with the new Treaty, since they entail the risk of large job losses, Z. whereas the current system of production aid already provides for the introduction and application of olive cultivation registers in producer Member States, but whereas this provision has not been observed by all States concerned; whereas olive cultivation registers are a vital instrument for accurate control to ensure that declared production matches the production potential of the farms and whereas an instrument of this kind is particularly necessary when the aid system is applied uniformly to all producers on the basis of the quantity of olive oil actually obtained, AA. whereas the Court of Auditors has pointed out several times that a system which does not require evidence of olives being harvested and processed may degenerate into a system of aid based on declarations of ownership which cannot be proven and allow aid to be obtained twice, but whereas this is not possible in countries such as Italy where an olive cultivation register has been introduced, AB. whereas the determination of aid without regard to the actual production of the olive holdings would sanction the injustice of granting the same amount of aid to inefficient producers and those who have modernized their farms and invested labour, effort and money in obtaining higher quality produce, AC. whereas a form of aid which does not reward either the harvesting of olives or production of oil from them would promote absenteeism in farming and nullify contracts based on yield or the allocation of land and would only benefit owners of land who are not full-time farmers and have other sources of income, which would undermine the principal objective of any COM, namely maintaining farmers’ income, AD. whereas the alternation of good and bad years in olive-growing makes it necessary to maintain intervention and the intervention price as a minimum reference point on the market, together with buffer stocks in an efficient set-up to cover any Community olive oil deficit; whereas the Commission proposes, in the aid-per-tree option, to abolish intervention and, in order to improve the present system, substantial restrictions, although the financial impact of intervention on olive oil is much less than in other regulated sectors, AE. whereas the Commission recognizes that the system applicable to small farmers gives rise to statistical problems and whereas their production is not controlled by the maximum guaranteed quantity (MGQ), AF. whereas since the 1992 CAP reform there has been an imbalance in expenditure on market regulation to the advantage of continental products, which now account for 75% of the draft budget for 1998 as opposed to around 70% in 1992, while Mediterranean products have fallen from 22% to 19%, AG. whereas Agenda 2000, which discriminates against Mediterranean products, is likely to accentuate the imbalance in financial support between continental and Mediterranean products, C 14/194 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 AH. whereas during the 1996/97 marketing year, despite the record level of production of 1 859 400 tonnes, there have hardly been any intervention surpluses and marketing is proceeding in a satisfactory manner for all operators, with market prices appreciably higher than the intervention price throughout the marketing year in all the producer countries, evidence of a situation very different from the supposed conditions on which the Commission claims to have based its options paper; whereas developments during the current marketing year belie the danger of surpluses and demonstrate the absurdity of the level set for the MGQ; whereas the MGQ established in 1987 (1 350 000 tonnes) is less than Community consumption in 1996/97 (1 657 000 tonnes), causing distortions in aid to producers owing to its level and its implementing arrangements; whereas, in order to guarantee that demand is met at reasonable prices, the MGQ should be revised, AI. whereas there is a need to bring the COM in olive oil into line with the other COMs with regard to the MGQ, adjusting its level up to Community consumption plus average exports and the necessary security margin and, specifically, there is a need to establish national reference quantities (NRQs), based on an objective estimate of production trends, in order to make each producer Member State responsible for the effects of exceeding the MGQ in proportion to the volume of the production obtained, AJ. whereas certain fundamental parameters of the current COM, such as the determination of yield, are not regulated uniformly in the olive-producing Member States, which causes serious distortions in its operation; whereas their harmonization is one of the main factors which the Commission should take into account before any future reform, AK. whereas a balance must be achieved in support for the various vegetable oils, taking into account consumption needs, the absorption of factors of production and the impact of direct or indirect public aid on the commercial value of the various oils and on the number of jobs linked to each form of production, AL. whereas in the main olive-producing Member States the bottling of mixtures of olive oil and seed oil is prohibited but in non-producing countries it is authorized, and hence they can be marketed throughout the EU, to the detriment of the consumer; whereas the Commission must draw up proposals to ban such mixtures, AM. whereas the sub-sector of table olives does not have support mechanisms to help it withstand international competition and this can cause distortions in the COM in olive oil; whereas the sub-sector plays an important role in the operation of the COM, since when there is a good harvest it may help to regulate the market; whereas a specific aid system supplementing the funds intended for olive oil should be applied to it; whereas this system should be easy to control and should take account of the long period of time needed for the preparation of table olives before they are marketed, I. General comments Points out that experience in the operation of the COM suggests that it has helped to maintain a fair 1. level of income for producers, has encouraged the modernization of cultivation and holdings, improved the quality of the product, helped protect the environment and has ensured that Community olive oil has continued to expand on the markets of third countries, as well as being one of the few sectors without structural surpluses; further points out that the balance between supply and demand can be maintained provided that the EU applies a more vigorous and sustained policy to promote olive oil consumption, both on its own territory and in third countries; considers, however, that the trend in supply and in the markets calls for the adoption of a new COM at an early date, in order to maintain and consolidate the results obtained by the industry in the EU’s peripheral regions for employment, earnings and environmental protection; 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/195 Thursday 18 December 1997 2. Considers that the Commission must revise and check the figures given in its options paper when it makes legislative proposals, and rectify the damage inflicted on the production sector through the application of the current system, which may cause serious and permanent disruption of an economic and social nature; 3. Stresses the important role played by this sector in maintaining employment in these regions, both directly in production, and indirectly in upstream and downstream sectors, which provides a significant stimulus for regional development; any reform must therefore constantly take into account the need to respect the principle of economic and social cohesion; 4. Considers that the shortcomings of the Commission(cid:146)s options paper as regards describing and diagnosing the situation in the sector, the failure to analyze the consequences of the options considered and the fact that only one of them is considered in detail, make it invalid as an adequate basis for a reform of the COM and recommends to the Commission that it should revise and complete its analyses when it submits legislative proposals, in order to avoid the risk of social, economic and environmental problems; 5. Notes that the Commission has failed to comply with its obligation, under Regulation (EEC) 2261/84, to submit to the Council and Parliament a report on the operation of the aid system for olive oil, which Parliament reminded it of in its abovementioned resolution of 25 October 1996; 6. Rejects aid per tree as a basic option for the reform of the COM as proposed by the Commission, as it will not protect actual production, since it entails a high risk of job losses, environmental damage and a deterioration in the quality of the final product; II. Main elements on which to base the future COM Calls on the Commission to submit legislative proposals for a reform of the COM and to base them 7. on: (a) the granting of a single form of production aid which guarantees a fair income for all producers on the basis of the quantity of oil actually produced, by including small producers in the general system of production aid, in order to facilitate the carrying out of controls; by guaranteeing olive growers fair profits for maintaining the necessary volume of production and marketing of olive oil; by creating an additional system of aid to small farms; and by introducing the environmental and regional planning rules necessary to preserve sensitive areas; (b) increasing the MGQ to bring it into line with the total of Community consumption, average annual exports and a margin for security; establishing NRQs for the producer Member States; (c) final abolition of the consumption aid and the introduction of an effective instrument that will make it possible to set up an integrated control system from production to consumption; (d) maintaining the intervention mechanism and the intervention price, with measures for private storage and buffer stocks as an efficient system to ensure the stability of markets and prices in a sector where production levels vary considerably from year to year; (e) creating a supplementary system of support for small farmers to promote employment and maintain the rural population; (f) the uniform regulation in all the olive-producing Member States of the main parameters of the COM, in order to avoid such things as a repetition of the current situation as regards the calculation of yield and the failure to set up a uniform register of olive cultivation; (g) the implementation and financing, inter alia through resources derived from the abolition of consumption aid, of a global policy for the promotion of consumption and quality, by means of a policy of projecting and promoting the product and looking for new markets, including a ban on the marketing of mixtures of olive oil and other oils, in order to guarantee consumers an authentic product, and introducing effective incentives for quality production; C 14/196 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 (h) the operation of an integrated Community control system, based on the marketing of oil as the trigger for aid, to increase cooperation between national and Community control bodies and ensure the transparency of aid, and the rapid introduction in all producer countries of an integrated control system that is simple, reliable and effective and capable of preventing fraud, on pain of suspension of aid; (i) the introduction of specific and effective measures to support activities relating to concentration of supply, placing products on the market, promotion, crop improvement, technological innovation, environmental protection and quality improvement, through the producers’ organizations and their unions, thereby strengthening the importance of their role; (j) a modification of inward processing traffic in olive oil, making it an exclusive regulating mechanism, revising the equivalences system and authorizing this system only when a deficit in Community olive oil has been established which cannot be remedied using buffer stock; (k) the creation of a system of production aid for table olives, replacing the rules under budget heading B1-184, which has proved totally ineffective, and providing it with adequate funding; (l) support for the olive oil sector by improving management and developing and increasing existing resources to project and promote the product and seek new markets; (m) the overall simplification of the system which is necessary for increased transparency needed for combating fraud in the sector; III. Specific requests to the Commission 8. Acknowledges identified problems of controllability and resulting fraud, which are, however, less dramatic than the Commission’s note suggests; nevertheless urges the Commission to prove convincingly the necessity, feasibility and budgetary neutrality of any option in order to avoid the risk of unforeseen developments and an increase in unemployment which would affect less favoured and vulnerable regions; 9. Urges the Commission to take account in its legislative proposals of the disparities between agricultural regions, the need to make the necessary changes gradually and the link between agriculture and the economy as a whole; 10. Expresses the wish that the Commission will insist that countries that have not yet done so establish a comprehensive olive cultivation register, which can serve as a basis for the necessary survey to assess the regional impact of the proposed reform and be useful in combating fraud; 11. Considers that the Commission must draw up and submit a study into the implications of the GATT Agreements and the policy of export refunds on olive production and on workers’ incomes, and a thorough and comprehensive study of the outlook for the international olive oil market, and the ways and means of maintaining the EU’s position as an olive oil exporter; Again urges the Commission, as requested in Parliament’s resolution of 10 April 1997 containing 12. the comments which form part of the decision giving discharge to the Commission in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 1995 (1), to apply immediately all the controls made available by the legislation in force, without waiting for the introduction of the future reform; 13. Calls on the Commission to respect the Amsterdam Treaty, in particular its objective of promoting a high level of employment as a key element in the coordination of economic policies, and not to put forward proposals which threaten to destroy employment; (1) OJ C 132, 28. 4. 1997, p. 140. 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/197 Thursday 18 December 1997 IV. Further comments 14. Insists, in view of the forecasts of growth in demand for olive oil on international markets and to support the product on the internal market, that the EU must develop a policy for increasing the quality of the product as a natural product and prohibiting its blending with other oils, to improve competitiveness and increase exports and consequently maintain or increase employment and productivity; 15. Repeats that, in order to protect olive growing and combat fraud, and in the interests of the ever increasing number of consumers, the olive growers’ representative bodies and associations and their role in control procedures must be strengthened; Considers that, to strengthen this sector, better management and development and an increase in 16. existing resources to present and promote this product are required; 17. Points out, for example, that the income aids provided for sectors such as arable crops, dairy products and beef and veal are essentially compensatory in nature to offset the differences between domestic prices and international prices; Notes also the lack of uniformity in compensatory aid, adjustment aid, aid for environmental and 18. social services, etc. , and calls on the Commission to spell out its objectives and clearly define the objectives of the CAP; 19. Considers that the Commission should draw up a general framework for possible variations in aid going beyond the olive oil sector and that this general framework should set out the different production methods and govern the relationship between aid and socio-economic, regional and environmental criteria (cross-compliance); 20. Is concerned lest future budgetary savings at the level of the COM in olive oil result in greater pressure on Structural Fund spending, notably greater expenditure on ongoing CSFs for each Member State; Calls on the Commission to define the concept of (cid:145)budgetary neutrality’ and to say whether it is a 21. key element in the reform of the CAP or any of the sectors concerned; 22. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission. * * * 11.

Notes to its dismay that the decline in the number of smokers in the Union is slowing down, with the numbers of women smokers clearly rising and young people beginning to smoke at an increasingly early age; Reaffirms its resolute advocacy of an EU Directive governing the direct or indirect advertising of 2. tobacco products; (1) OJ C 129, 21. 5. 1992, p. 5.

Notes the consistent scientific evidence on dangers related to passive smoking; States that everyone has the right to breathe clean air and that this right must always prevail over the 6. right to smoke; 7. Points out that tobacco consumption in public and at the workplace imposes enormous costs on society in terms of deteriorating public and private facilities, higher expenditure on maintaining cleanliness at the workplace, in our cities and on our beaches, and as a cause of forest fires; Supports measures aimed at banning smoking in the working environment in order to improve 8. workers(cid:146) health and safety; Notes that if children and adolescents can be successfully prevented from taking up smoking and 9. becoming addicted, they are unlikely to acquire the habit later in life; Supports concrete measures aimed at reducing children(cid:146)s and adolescents(cid:146) exposure and access to 10. tobacco products, such as: › a ban on tobacco vending machines and self-service displays, making it possible only to sell tobacco products over the counter; › a ban on cigarette package sizes primarily aimed at young consumers; › the introduction of a Community-wide age limit of 18 years for the purchase of tobacco products; › increases in the price of tobacco in real terms; Believes that the Commission should propose the harmonization of tobacco tax with a view to 11. establishing a minimum level, the aim being to reduce consumption; Recommends careful monitoring of developments in the display of nicotine levels on packets 12. throughout the Community; 13. Regrets that hand-rolling tobacco is not subject to any standards for maximum permitted tar content; calls urgently on the Commission to make hand-rolling tobacco subject to the same standards for tar content as cigarettes; Supports the review of existing test methods for determining tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide 14. yields; Recommends that any substance added to tobacco should be indicated on the label and should be 15. proven not to have any harmful effects on health in burnt or unburnt form; 16. Recommends that, in accordance with the comprehensive existing legislation in the European Union and the Member States, any substances added to tobacco should be non-toxic and have been demonstrated to be free of effects damaging to health; 17. Considers that the relationship between excise duties levied on cigarettes and those on hand-rolling tobacco must be reviewed, and calls on the Commission to draw up as speedily as possible a proposal under which excise duty on hand-rolling tobacco would progressively be increased to the level of that on cigarettes; 18. Urges the Commission to set up an Inter-Institutional Committee (Council, Commission and Parliament) to investigate, with the assistance of scientific committees, whether tobacco companies are incorporating additives into tobacco in order to intensify addiction to nicotine; 19. Recognizes that price can greatly influence tobacco consumption, and can therefore serve as an important instrument of anti-tobacco policy; urges the Commission consequently to submit proposals for coordinated upward adjustments to excise duty on cigarettes; C 14/200 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 Requests the Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the health warning on packages before 20. proposing possible modifications of the above-mentioned Directives 89/622/EEC and 92/41/EEC; Proposes including a toll-free telephone number on the label of tobacco products, where callers can 21. be given objective information on tobacco use and information on smoking cessation programmes; 22. Calls for more complete information on the connection between cot death (SIDS) and smoking; Stresses the need for information and awareness campaigns to change the behaviour of tobacco 23. smokers in public, with a view to ensuring social courtesy and respect for non-smokers; 24. Recommends the implementation of effective smoking cessation programmes which provide for smoking cessation counselling and advice by health professionals, and make available nicotine replacement therapy; Asks for a substantial increase in the funding devoted to anti-tobacco projects within the framework 25. of the (cid:145)Europe against cancer(cid:146) programme; Proposes the establishment of a yearly European Prize for the best anti-tobacco project in the 26. Union; Supports the proposal that the Union should devote part of its development aid to programmes 27. aimed at combating tobacco use in developing countries and that the Union should refuse development aid to tobacco-related projects; 28. Condemns the Union(cid:146)s export of tobacco of poor quality › not meeting European standards › to third countries, thereby contributing to health problems in countries which already have a low level of public health; 29. Considers that there can be no conflict between the objectives of health protection and the other policies, since the EU Treaty states that the health dimension must form part of all policies, including the common agricultural policy; Supports international efforts to secure the adoption of a convention (under United Nations 30. auspices) on combating tobacco use; 31. Considers that the Commission must urgently launch a legislative initiative seeking to have nicotine declared an addiction-inducing substance throughout the Union, in terms similar to those secured by the US Food and Drug Administration; Recommends that smoking cessation programmes be made available to all at low cost (or no cost), 32. and that all persons wishing to stop smoking be enabled to benefit from effective help; Calls for the current review on the harmonisation of excise duties (1995/96) to include specific 33. proposals to ensure: › an effective, upward convergence of excises on tobacco products, › equality of excise duties on both manufactured and hand-rolling (RYO) tobacco; 34.

Anti-personnel mines B4-1042, 1051, 1059, 1063, 1072, 1076 and 1081/97 Resolution on the 1997 Convention on the prohibition and destruction of anti-personnel mines The European Parliament, › having regard to its previous resolutions on landmines, which called for a complete ban on anti-personnel mines, › having regard to the Convention on the prohibition of the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines and on their destruction signed by 122 states in Ottawa on 3 and 4 December 1997, A. whereas the Ottawa Convention meets its demands for an international instrument imposing a total ban on anti-personnel mines with no exceptions, each country adhering to the Ottawa Convention committing itself (cid:145)never, under any circumstances(cid:146) to use anti-personnel mines, B. whereas it has been involved in the (cid:145)Ottawa Process(cid:146) to establish such an instrument since it was launched in October 1996, C. whereas the number of states that have signed the Ottawa Convention is considerably higher than might have been expected and marks a very significant step in ridding the world of these brutal weapons, D. whereas the Convention will only enter into force six months after it has been ratified by 40 states, E. noting with approval that Canada, Ireland and Mauritius have already deposited their instruments of ratification, F. whereas it is important that more countries should now proceed to sign it, G. whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the Convention, it is essential now to move swiftly to ensure its effective implementation, H. whereas the momentum gathered in the campaign to ban anti-personnel mines must be maintained not only to widen adherence to the Convention but also to pursue efforts to clear mines and rehabilitate victims, I. whereas the Convention provides for all signatories to destroy all anti-personnel mines in mined areas under their control no later than ten years after its entry into force and, where possible, to assist others in mine clearance and related activities, J. whereas the European Union and its Member States are currently the largest contributors outside the United Nations of funds and expertise for mine clearance, Congratulates the Canadian Government in having successfully organized the negotiation of such a 1. binding and watertight convention in such a short period of time; 2. Welcomes the significant role played by the Commission in the campaign against anti-personnel mines and in particular its full and effective support for the (cid:145)Ottawa Process(cid:146); 3. Commends the 14 EU Member States which have signed the Convention for having done so and calls on the Finnish Government to sign as soon as possible, in the realization that any possible military advantages of anti-personnel mines are far outweighed by their disastrous humanitarian effects and that worldwide respect for the Convention is vital; C 14/202 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 4. Considers that the EU(cid:146)s leading position in the fight against anti-personnel mines would be strengthened by having the 14 Member States which have signed the Convention among the first 40 states to ratify it and urges these Member States therefore to do their utmost to expedite their ratification procedures with the aim of completing them by mid-1998; 5. Is pleased to see that, of those countries applying for membership of the European Union, eight (Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia) have already signed the Convention and calls on Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Turkey to do so in the near future; 6. Urges all states which have not yet signed the Convention, and in particular the United States, Russia, China, and India, which have as producing countries a major role to play, to do so during 1998 and to halt immediately all exports of anti-personnel mines; calls on the Commission and the Council to raise this question at all appropriate meetings with countries linked to the European Union by trade and cooperation or other agreements, declarations or action plans; 7. Calls upon all Member States to take the necessary administrative, legislative and other measures at national level to ensure compliance with the Convention and to provide assistance to severely mine-affected countries for the destruction of stockpiles of anti-personnel mines, clearance of emplaced mines and vastly increased programmes of assistance to mine victims; 8. Calls for effective coordination of international efforts in mine clearance and in the rehabilitation of victims by states, international organizations and NGOs, perhaps involving the creation of an international steering committee and working groups for appropriate technology, information management and afflicted country actions, with a strong EU involvement; 9. Points out that such a coordinated approach, apart from ensuring that aid is disbursed efficiently, could enable afflicted countries to deal with a single organization rather than having to devise complicated programmes involving myriad organizations; 10.

European Parliament resolution of 24 March 1994 on relations between the European Union and the United States of America (OJ C 114, 25. 4. 1994, p. 18). New Transatlantic Agenda of 1995 signed by the Council on 3 December 1995 and Joint EC-US Action Plan. C 14/368 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Thursday 18 December 1997 This appropriation is intended to improve mutual understanding between key actors on each side of the Atlantic by creating an overarching framework for the (cid:145)People to People Links(cid:146) and (cid:145)Information and Culture(cid:146) Exchanges envisaged by the Joint Action Plan of the New Transatlantic Agenda. This is to be achieved through financing pilot projects and preparatory actions between actors and organizations in both the European Union and the United States of America. Such projects and actions shall include pilot actions to stimulate the dialogue between the social and business partners on each side of the Atlantic. Each action or project must include participants from both sides of the Atlantic, and may encourage the establishment of networks. The initiative as a whole shall be funded in part through public, private, business and charitable organizations from the United States, as well as from this item. The contribution from the European Union(cid:146)s 1998 budget will be limited to ECU 6 000 000, in accordance with the following breakdown of activities: 1. Education › Transatlantic Research and Exchange Programmes 2 100 000 This programme would choose up to 10 Centres of European Studies to serve as host institutions for visiting scholars and practitioners from the European Union. Visitors would be resident at host institutions for relatively short periods (one week to approximately one month) to increase the number of participants involved. Research grants for faculty and students would support both short and long-term projects. The European Community Studies Association (ECSA) of the United States, an organization of 900 individuals and 50 institutions dedicated to the study of the European Union, should be given responsibility for coordinating and administering such a programme. › Electronic Resources and Long-Distance Learning A proposal already submitted could establish a joint EU-US digital library collection, accessible on the Internet, featuring material of interest to researchers and the general public in Europe and the US. The project is designed to promote ongoing cooperation between national libraries, other research libraries, and research and education communities. 900 000 2 500 000 2. People to People › Transatlantic Labour Dialogue › Transatlantic Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Initiative › Transatlantic Business Dialogue This section is designed to give assistance to distinct, broadly based communities which intend to formulate specific recommendations for joint action to the European Union and United States(cid:146) administrations, focused on the European side of the dialogue. 300 000 300 000 300 000 3. Transatlantic Houses The 1995 EU/US summit in Berlin called for joint actions to foster political and social development in Central and Eastern European countries. Implementation of this commitment would be through the progressive joint creation of a (cid:145)Transatlantic House(cid:146) in the Ukraine, first to serve as an information point on partners(cid:146) support programmes in those countries, and then extended to house jointly financed democracy programmes. Matching funding would be required from the United States for such a scheme to operate. 4. Civil Society Actions One of the major goals of the New Transatlantic Agenda is the building of bridges across the Atlantic. A key proposal put forward has been to establish a coordinating mechanism to monitor and help implement identified initiatives aimed at promoting and developing civil society. This amount is intended to support activities specifically involving citizen-to-citizen links under the umbrella of the Transatlantic Civil Society Dialogue. Matching funding would be required from the United States. Furthermore, independent funders would be expected to supplement such funding. An annual evaluation report on these activities will have to be submitted by the Commission to the budgetary authority by 30 June of the following year. 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/369 Thursday 18 December 1997 to the modification by the Council to Amendment 0476 of the European Parliament SECTION III › COMMISSION › Part B (Operating appropriations) (Amendment 0038) Budget 1997 PE1 1998 CSL2 1998 Amendment New amount Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments B7-661 Community participation in action concerning anti-personnel mines 7 000 000 6 000 000 7 000 000 7 000 000 5 000 000 7 000 000 2 000 000 7 000 000 7 000 000 NOMENCLATURE: Unchanged REMARKS: Unchanged SCHEDULE: Automated schedule to the modification by the Council to Amendment 0556 of the European Parliament SECTION III › COMMISSION › Part B (Operating appropriations) (Amendment 0039) Budget 1997 PE1 1998 CSL2 1998 Amendment New amount Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments B7-663N Campaign against sex tourism in third countries ne ne 500 000 500 000 500 000 500 000 500 000 500 000 NOMENCLATURE: Create the following new line: B7-663N Campaign against sex tourism in third countries REMARKS: Add the following: New article This appropriation is intended for setting up and coordinating public awareness campaigns to oppose sex tourism affecting children.
