For this aim it is proposed to revise the eco-label scheme established by Regulation (EEC) No 880/92, in particular by transferring its technical operation to the Technical Commit- tee for the Eco-label. (Amendment 38) Financial statement (7. 1), fifth and sixth paragraphs No further Community financing is foreseen after the fourth year of operation. The EEO is expected to become in the longer term self- financing on the fees resulting from the eco-label awards. Execution of the mandates which will be given by the Commission and the general costs of the EEO should be financed by the 50% of eco-label award annual fees which the EEO is entitled to obtain from the competent bodies. Execution of the mandates which will be given by the Commission and the general costs of the TCEL should inter alia be financed by the 50% of eco-label award annual fees which the TCEL is entitled to obtain from the competent bodies.

The Commission will make systematic checks on the basis of this report at the premises of the EEO. Approval of the report by the Commission will be a condition for payments. Deleted (Amendment 41) Financial statement (9. 2), second indent, first five paragraphs It is therefore proposed to set up a European Eco-label Organization (EEO) which should establish and update the eco-label criteria and the corresponding assessment and verifi- cation requirements as well as coordinate the activities of the competent bodies. The EEO would be a private international association of the eco-label Competent Bodies. The Commis- sion would promote the establishment of the EEO. The EEO would act on mandate by the Commission. It is therefore proposed to set up a Technical Committee for the Eco-label (TCEL) which should establish and update the eco-label criteria and the corresponding assessment and verifi- cation requirements as well as coordinate the activities of the competent bodies. The TCEL would be an association of the eco-label Competent Bodies. The Commission would promote the establishment of the TCEL. The TCEL would act on mandate by the Commission.

Supports the Commission(cid:146)s proposal, which sets targets in relation to critical loads and endorses the strategy(cid:146)s use of an interim target for 2010 but calls on the Commission to develop a new, ambitious objective for 2015, whereby in principle the critical loads must not be reached in any part of the area; considers that details of this new objective should be given when the programme is revised in 2004; Considers that the national emission ceilings method gives Member States the required degree of 2. flexibility to take the measures best suited to achieving the specified interim target; Calls on the Commission to encourage the Member States to make greater use of financial 3. instruments, e. g. trading emission rights, to reduce sulphur and nitrogen emissions; 4. Endorses the Commission(cid:146)s choice of the model for integrated assessment, which has been used successfully in the context of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, as the basis for the acidification strategy; 5. Calls on the Commission, however, to update the input data used for the integrated assessment model so as to take full account of national data from the Member States, forthcoming legislation and international agreements such as the Auto-Oil package and the Kyoto Conference, before the planned proposal for a Directive on national emission ceilings is finalized; 6. Considers it important that the EU(cid:146)s acidification strategy should be compatible with the protocol of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) which deals simultaneously with acidification, formation of ozone and eutrophication from a pan-European perspective; the effectiveness of the acidification strategy could be improved substantially if, in addition to the present EU Member States, consideration were extended to the other European countries; Calls on the Commission to support Parliament(cid:146)s position on the Auto-Oil proposal for lower 7. sulphur content levels for motor vehicle fuels from 2005; 8. Maintains that the updating of the input data used for the analysis, referred to in paragraph 5, together with possible additional non-technical structural measures for reducing emissions, could substantially bring down the estimated cost of achieving the strategy(cid:146)s interim target; 9. Stresses that a wide range of benefits will ensue from reduced acidification, such as conservation of biodiversity, slower impoverishment of the soil, improvements in human health, increased life of buildings and construction materials, and preservation of the cultural heritage; 10. Considers that the Commission should take into account other costs and damage that is not measurable in economic terms resulting from acidifying emissions, in particular damage to health, eutrophication, damage caused by ground-level ozone and the corrosion of buildings and materials including priceless cultural monuments; 1. 6. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 167/135 Wednesday 13 May 1998 11. Calls on all Member States and the EU to sign and ratify the 1994 Sulphur Protocol; Considers that the polluter pays principle must be applied in full by all Member States in all 12. branches of industry and, in particular to all modes of transport; 13. Calls on the Commission, on the basis of the calculations of cost-effectiveness, to propose specific measures to reduce emissions of acidifying air pollutants from shipping and to support efforts to reduce emissions in the applicant countries; 14. Calls on the Commission to propose a ceiling on the sulphur content of aviation fuel; Calls on the Commission, with the aim of reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) 15. emissions from shipping, to propose and encourage measures such as: › the introduction of differentiated port and fairway charges favouring vessels which use low-sulphur bunker oil and/or are fitted with catalytic converters; › the laying down of rules on emissions from shipping linking EU ports; › voluntary emission-reduction agreements, e. g. for ferries; › a request for the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the English Channel to be designated sensitive areas for sulphur emissions under the Marpol Convention, with the aim of introducing requirements for lower limit values for sulphur in bunker oil in those waters; › increasing the use of low-sulphur bunker oil, for example by using financial instruments such as taxes or charges on sulphur emissions, with any revenue thus obtained by Member States being used to finance measures to prevent acidification; 16. Considers that the Commission has not been anywhere near ambitious enough as regards the limit values it has proposed in the context of the revision of Directive 93/12/EEC relating to the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels; Notes that in 1990 large combustion plants accounted for just over 60% of SO2 emissions and just 17. over 20% of NOx emissions in the Community; Calls on the Commission, therefore, to submit as soon as possible the long-awaited revised text of 18. Directive 88/609/EEC on emissions from large combustion plants; Calls on the Commission to put forward a coordinated strategy for reducing the adverse effects of 19. farming on the environment as regards emissions of ammonia, methane and nitrates into the air, soil and water and a strategy for promoting sustainable and organic farming; Considers that the Commission must submit an action plan indicating how the applicant countries 20. are to be involved in the efforts to ensure that the acidification strategy(cid:146)s targets are met; such a plan should include the transfer of know-how, support for environmental monitoring and the financing of investment in measures which reduce emissions of acidifying substances via existing programmes such as Phare and Tacis; calls on the Commission also to include within that action plan measures to stimulate the market economy and the introduction of financial instruments; Calls on the Commission to link CAP subsidies to more stringent measures to combat ammonia 21. emissions from farming; Calls on the Commission to link assistance for the applicant countries to stringent environmental 22. requirements for action to reduce acidifying emissions in those countries; 23. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission. C 167/136 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1. 6. 98 Wednesday 13 May 1998 17.

Welcomes the Commission(cid:146)s Communication and its efforts to enable an initial debate to take place on the future guidelines for Community programmes in the areas of education, training and youth; 2. Is in favour of establishing a common framework of activities, coordination and monitoring inasmuch as this will allow EU action to respond in a more flexible and integrated way to the varied needs of national education and training systems; 3. Notes with satisfaction the Commission(cid:146)s intention to establish a framework of responsibilities shared by the Community, the Member States and the other parties involved (educational, social, economic and local partners and community organizations); 4. Considers, however, that the Commission has left insufficient time to carry out a meaningful consultation with all the interested parties referred to in paragraph 3 (which should also include families and young people themselves) prior to coming forward with legislative proposals; and regrets, in particular, that this lack of forward planning has meant that the European Parliament has been obliged to work to an unacceptably tight deadline; 5. Considers that the Commission(cid:146)s Communication fails to provide adequate details of future strategy in the areas of education, training and youth; deplores the lack of clarity in the document and the confusion of education programmes with structural measures, particularly concerning the nature of the proposed legal instruments; regrets the lack of definition of the basic conditions which are essential if the (cid:145)Europe of knowledge(cid:146) objective is to be achieved: a substantial increase in the budget, rapid generalization of access to new technologies and a bold language-teaching policy; C 167/138 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1. 6. 98 Wednesday 13 May 1998 Supports the Commission(cid:146)s stated aims of limiting the number of objectives in the present 6. programmes and of defining the areas for action more clearly; 7. Believes that incentives should be provided to consider the six types of activities identified by the Commission as an integrated package of measures which together contribute to the achievement of a defined goal; underlines in this context the importance of language activities as an essential prerequisite for all types of transnational measures, particularly in the vocational training sector, where language barriers are still strong; 8. Stresses the important role that must be played by the social partners in the new vocational training programme, particularly in view of their contribution, via social contracts, to enabling workers to have access to training and therefore achieve increased levels of employment security; Calls on all EU education, training and youth policies and programmes to support measures to 9. promote the integration of all disabled people into mainstream education and training systems; 10. Considers there is an urgent need for the Commission to encourage wider participation by improving the administration and application procedures, particularly by simplifying them, standardizing deadlines for applications, speeding up procedures and continuing to make the present programmes(cid:146) national coordinating bodies responsible for safeguarding the continuity of Community measures; 11. Agrees that this can also be achieved by decentralizing decisions (cid:145)to the levels closest to the parties involved(cid:146), and yet warns that any delegation of decision-making may not and must not result in decreased visibility of Community action in this field or weaken the Commission(cid:146)s responsibility for implementing the policy framework decided at EU level, coordinating and supporting activities, monitoring progress, gathering, evaluating and disseminating results, and encouraging access to knowledge for disadvantaged groups to ensure the development of an inclusive learning society; 12. Emphasizes that it is necessary that the Commission should carry out a constant and thorough assessment of the programmes concerned, drawing on the achievements and accumulated experience of past actions and current programmes in formulating its legislative proposals (including, for example, theme years such as the European Year against Racism), in order to make necessary changes to improve effectiveness and impact; considers that the assessment procedure should also ensure that their feasibility is proportionate to their expense, identifying and targeting priority groups of participants, with the aim of making the programmes as user-friendly as possible; Regrets the fact that this debate takes place without the necessary qualitative information on the 13. achievements of the current programmes, for example with regard to: › the profile of the beneficiaries of the different types of activities financed by these programmes, › › the sustainability and impact of the transnational structures and activities established under these programmes, the degree of integration and synergy between the different types of activities relating to the same policy field and between these activities and initiatives financed under other EU programmes; 14. Believes that, in the context of limited financial resources, European added value can be achieved only by developing the future programmes as real transnational (cid:145)European laboratories for innovation(cid:146) and by focusing on those sectors and categories which necessitate EU support and that this can be done only if the above qualitative data are available; calls for these data to be provided in connection with the forthcoming legislative proposals; Calls on the Commission to draw up a report addressing specifically the relationship, in the light of 15. the new employment guidelines, between EU vocational training programmes and the reformed ESF; calls for this report to be submitted to the European Parliament at the same time as the forthcoming legislative proposals, and will refer to it when evaluating whether those legislative proposals ensure better coordination and synergy with Structural Fund operations; 1. 6. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 167/139 Wednesday 13 May 1998 16. Supports, therefore, the continuation of distinct Community programmes, with their existing names (Socrates, Leonardo, Youth for Europe and Voluntary Service), since this is in the interests of public recognition, particularly by target groups, and continuity and should facilitate a smooth transition in the year 2000; considers it essential, however, for (cid:145)bridges(cid:146) to be built between these programmes and also between them and the research and technological development programmes, so as to allow for initiatives incorporating components from all of these areas; calls for more coherence and clarity in the definition of the individual lines of action, to prevent overlapping and duplication; 17. Considers that, in order to increase the effectiveness of these programmes, in particular the Leonardo and Socrates programmes, certain initiatives should be merged, such as the Leonardo programme(cid:146)s (cid:145)cooperation between businesses and universities(cid:146) initiative (formerly part of the Comett programme) and the Socrates programme(cid:146)s (cid:145)Erasmus(cid:146) initiative; 18. Calls for a substantial increase, and, if possible, a doubling of the budget of the programmes, given the important contribution they can make to the development of a people(cid:146)s Europe, to promoting employability and to achieving the goals of the Amsterdam Summit, and to the forthcoming enlargement process; also considering the de-facto social exclusion of applicants from low-income families due to the low financial level of grants, and bearing generally in mind that the current level of funding will not be adequate to meet the increase in demand during 2000-2006 due to the accession of the Central and Eastern European countries; points out, furthermore, that this is in line with the Commission(cid:146)s aim of making knowledge policies one of the fundamental pillars of the Union, an aim which should be reflected more clearly in the Commission(cid:146)s overall priorities; 19. Considers that there is a need for a separate Community programme for youth, and that this should not be subsumed within education and training policy, since the goals of youth policy are broader than preparation for working life; considers that other objectives should include offering a varied learning environment outside school, the fostering of independence and creativity, preparation for democratic and social life and the combating of social exclusion and racism; 20. Believes that the concept of lifelong learning, the reality of an ageing population in Europe, and technological and demographic change mean that actions in the area of education and training should not be restricted to young people but should rather seek to encourage individual learning at every age in life and at every level of professional development; Stresses that future programmes should take into account that lifelong learning can be applied to a 21. wide diversity of sectors and disciplines; 22. Underlines the importance of broad international cooperation in the areas of education, training and youth with the partner countries, countries outside Europe, and with relevant international organizations, such as the Council of Europe, Unesco and OECD; 23. Highlights the importance of actions to promote physical mobility for the various target groups and considers that access to exchange programmes should not be restricted to educationally or economically advantaged groups; considers, therefore, that there should be increased opportunities for vocational trainees, apprentices and students to participate in exchange programmes; considers that there should be increased opportunities for cooperation between vocational, general and other educational establishments on EU programmes; 24. Considers that greater attention should be paid to the mobility of teachers, academics and trainers since this can have a significant multiplier effect on the (cid:145)non-mobile(cid:146) population; enabling non- governmental organizations to participate and have an influence as social partners also has a significant and cost-effective multiplier effect; Believes there is an urgent need for improvement concerning academic recognition for periods of 25. study spent abroad, and is therefore supportive of the further development of ECTS; C 167/140 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1. 6. 98 Wednesday 13 May 1998 26. Points out, however, that initiatives and actions to recognize certificates and qualifications are not the task of education programmes but require joint regulation by the individual Member States, involving the social partners; 27. Considers that it is essential to facilitate communication among all Europeans, in order to maximize the benefits of the Single Market, and that there is therefore a need to encourage the acquisition of a good level of knowledge of the Community languages (especially those in widest use and the languages of neighbouring Member States), whilst recognizing the need to preserve the rich diversity of languages in Europe; 28. Hopes, therefore, that the new generation of initiatives to be submitted by the Commission will include a major campaign to promote the language skills of teachers, educators and trainers, and also the dissemination of appropriate educational software; 29. Stresses the need for a European statute to be promoted for the benefit of students and teachers which would in particular enable them to avoid social security problems and to move freely within all the EU Member States; 30. Strongly supports actions designed to promote understanding and peace between differing countries and cultures, both within the European Union and beyond; believes that exchanges involving countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Islamic world › especially when they belong to the Mediterranean Basin › could be particularly fruitful; 31. Supports the inclusion of a European dimension within the school curriculum and believes that this can be done through many different subjects and not only through language teaching; in this connection wishes to see the Comenius aspect of the Socrates programme strengthened; also believes that ancillary sources such as vocational guidance in schools and universities should include references to opportunities across the Union; points out that teaching programmes must be particularly based on equality, sustainable development and environmental protection as elements of the European social model; Believes that there is an urgent need to include civic education in the curriculum, in particular the 32. role and relevance of the different tiers of government within the European Union; 33. Considers that education and training programmes should take into account the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, help them to develop their educational system, particularly at University level, and enable them to incorporate the acquis communautaire; 34. Welcomes the high profile to be given to using, and encouraging familiarity with, new information and communication technologies within the new programmes, and believes there are great opportunities to be gained from linking up schools and pupils across Europe, which must be encouraged as a supplement to physical mobility; emphasizes, however, that virtual mobility must on no account be encouraged at the expense of promoting personal contacts and exchange schemes, and that the aim of educational and youth programmes is not to acquire technical equipment but to make effective use of virtual mobility and increase its efficiency; 35. Calls on the Commission to play a key role in stimulating the development and dissemination of educational software and multimedia material with European content; takes the view that the involvement of teachers, pupils, parents and others involved in education can help to ensure that such material is good quality, accurate, relevant and user-friendly; 36. Is pleased to note the reference to the necessity of media education at all levels, to help people to make sense of the information they receive through the various media; believes that this is an essential component for an inclusive Information Society; 37. Takes the view that a clear distinction must be made between the education programmes(cid:146) target groups and those of the Structural Funds, and that no funds from the education sector should therefore be made available for structural measures; 38. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission. 1. 6. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 167/141 Wednesday 13 May 1998 ATTENDANCE REGISTER 13 May
