text: COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES i!r •A- -A- TV < i Brussels, 29. 05. 1998 COM(1998) 342 final 97/321(SYN) Amended proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the promotion of European pathways for work-linked training. including apprenticeship (presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 189 a (2) of the EC-Treaty) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. The proposal for a decision to promote European pathways for work-linked training and apprenticeship has a twofold objective: • to define the content and the common principles for periods of training undertaken in another Member State (called 'European pathways for work-linked training, including apprenticeship *) as part of work-linked training when these periods are an integral part of the training followed in the original Member State; • enhance the transparency and profile of these periods of training by means of a document known as EUROPASS-Training whose content and presentation are defined at the Community level and which will attest to the training and/or work experience obtained by the beneficiaries in another Member State. 2. The proposal for a decision was adopted by the Commission on 12 November 1997 and was forwarded to the Council, the European Parliament, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on 9 January 1998. 3. The Economic and Social Committee delivered its opinion on 29 April 1998 and the Committee of the Regions on 12 March 1998. 4. Four European Parliament Committees - the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media; the Committee on Budgets; the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs; and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy - produced an opinion with the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs acting as the committee responsible. The opinion of the European Parliament was delivered on 30 April 1998. 5. The European Parliament has proposed 29 amendments, 26 of which can be accepted by the Commission and these bring an improvement to the proposal for a decision: • the amendments seeking to highlight the role of the SMEs and craft industry in the development of work-linked training and apprenticeship in Europe -the specific features of these companies mean they have different requirements- and also the role of the social partners and other partners in apprenticeship; • amendments seeking to guarantee a good flow of information and more effective support for the European pathways as they develop, particularly with regard to health, safety at work, languages, to name but a few considerations; amendments stressing the voluntary nature of the implementation of the European pathways; the Commission is aware of the diversity of policies, systems and approaches on work-linked training which exist in the Member States and this proposal for a decision in no way seeks to alter the organisation or the contents of Member States' systems and arrangements with regard to training. These European pathways are voluntary and are not restricted to those benefiting from a mobility grant under Community education and training programmes and initiatives. 4, 6. By contrast, two amendments cannot be accepted, nor can part of a third: • The amendment seeking to establish a minimum duration (". this period should not be less than three months in totaF') may generate problems for achieving European pathways (amendment 19 to Article 2, point 4). The European pathways cannot be restricted to study visits and/or a cultural visit. We have to be sure that these are really good quality training periods. This is why the Commission is proposing that the duration be significant and be strictly linked to the objectives of the European pathway and the skills to be acquired, all matters to be specified before embarking on the European pathway and as part of a partnership established between the original partner, the host partner and the beneficiary. The diversity of systems from one Member State to another, the specific characteristics of branches and the very marked differences between durations which have been suggested to us during discussions in the European institutions show that establishing a minimum duration could prove a problem and even introduce an element of inflexibility with regard to the achievement of the European pathways. • The amendment proposing that "The Commission shall also produce an annual qualitative analysis of vocational demand so that the national vocational training plans may be adjusted to actual market requirements and young people may thus have a greater chance, with sought-after qualifications, of finding employment in the European labour market" cannot be accepted either because it calls into question the principle of subsidiarity. Moreover, a number of countries do not have a "national training plan" (amendment 29 to Article 6(3)(a)). • Lastly, amendment 28 can be accepted only in part. The addition made by the European Parliament to the text of the proposal for a decision and which specifies that "The proportion of the Community contribution shall be no less than 50%" runs counter to the guidelines set out in the Commission proposal on the implementation of the instrument (Article 7).

General objective The action proposed by the Parliament and the Council Decision aims to promote European pathways for work-linked training and apprenticeship (hereinafter referred to as "European pathways") and to grant a documented record of achievement ("EUROPASS") to the participants of these "European pathways". 4. 2. Period covered and arrangements for renewal or extension Ongoing operation to be launched on 1 January 1999. 5. CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE 5 1 DNO. 5 2 CD 6. TYPE OF EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE The expenditure comprises: those subventions for the co-financing with other private and public sector sources (subventions of the Resource Centres designated by the Member States for the production and diffusion of EUROPASS, subventions for organizing events in the Member States and at the Community level in support of the action. The rate of Community subventions can be up to 50%. 100% subventions for Studies and experts' work contributing to the development of a common approach, particularly with regard to evaluation and for the design of the attestation of EUROPASS. \c 7. FINANCIAL IMPACT 7. 1. Method of calculating total cost of operation (definition of unit costs) The following parameters will be used:. * * * * cost of designing the "EUROPASS": ECU 100 000; cost of producing the "EUROPASS" in the Member States, i. e. 100 000 copies at a unit cost of ECU 3 = ECU 300 000 (for a full year); cost of supporting the organization of networks and the dissemination of the "European pathways" and the EUROPASS at the cost of ECU 30 000 per Member State = ECU 450 000; cost of actions (notably conferences) for support and awareness-raising and evaluation at ECU 20 000 per Member State (= ECU 300 000) plus two Community-level conferences (=ECU 50 000 x 2) making a total of ECU 400 000; * cost of experts'studies and work. ECU 100 000. Thus, in a full year the cost is estimated at ECU 1. 250 million for establishing the certification of EUROPASS for the first year (1999). On the other hand a substantial increase in the numbers of EUROPASS required is anticipated in the first two years (100 000 in 1999 and 200 000 in 2000). 7. 2.

FRAUD PREVENTION MEASURES iegai commitments concluded between A!l contracts, agreements and the Corr. niissiof; ?nd the beneficiaries of payments allow for checks /;/ situ by the Commission and the Court of Auditors Moreover, the recipients of aid in respect of actions are obliged to submit financial reports and accounts which are analysed both from the point of view of contents and from the point of view of eligibility of expenditure in accordance with the objective of Community financing and taking due accoum of the contractual obligations and efficient financial management. 9. COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS 9. 1. Specific and quantified objectives; target population The aim of the decision is to promote European pathways for work-linked training and apprenticeship, referred to as "European pathways", and to provide the recipients of these "European pathways" a document or a record of achievement known as "EUROPASS". In addition the following objectives are also envisaged: 1. 2. 3. Establish the general and common principles of quality in respect of the implementation of the European pathways for work-linked training and apprenticeship (the "European pathways"). Set up (design, produce and disseminate) a European attestation (known as "EUROPASS") for the beneficiaries of such "European pathways". Set up a system of information and coordination in close conjunction with the national authorities and the social partners. 4. Make the different players training and involved apprenticeship, aware of the organization of the "European pathways", taking care to ensure the widest possible dissemination of the results, particularly as regards the "EUROPASS". in work-linked 5. Bring about profitable exchanges between the different players involved in work-linked training and apprenticeship, on the best way of implementing the Community arrangements. Experience with action programmes such as Leonardo da Vinci and Socrates would suggest that in a full year some 100 000 young people will become involved every year in these "European pathways". The target population of the action includes on a voluntary basis all young people following work-linked training, particularly through apprenticeship, i. e. a type of training which, as described in Article 2(a) of the Decision, features "vocational training leading to a diploma or a qualification recognized by the competent authorities of the Member State concerned and involving structured periods of work-linked training in a training establishment including universities and in a company as separate and complementary places of training". /9 for the mobility of young people undertaking While direct aid these "European pathways" will come from existing Community programmes and initiatives (particularly the Leonardo da Vinci programme) as far as resources allow and in accordance with the specific procedures of these programmes, this action needs to be bolstered by the setting up of a network of mutual information and coordination. It should be noted however that the general and common principles for the "European pathways" for work-linked training and apprenticeship specified by this decision does not limit itself, only to the pathways used by those benefiting from community aid on mobility in vocational training, this also covers the young mobile relevant to the other initiatives notably bilateral examples such as the recent agreement between France and Germany. 9. 2. Grounds for the operation stemming the current decision of Parliament and from The actions the Council resulting notably the in the Leonardo da Vinci Programme (COM(97) 399 final) which were produced by the Commission based on the reports of all Member States which emphasised the necessity for the reinforcement for transnational mobility underlined also that the full impact of such mobility on training and work-linked training required the fuller and greater integration of the periods of training undertaken in other Member States in the initial training period. intermediate evaluation of The actions will support the implementation of a policy for vocational training at Community level within the meaning of Article 127 of the Treaty. While respecting the specific competences of the Member States with regard to the organization of vocational training, the Community action intends: * * to establish a reference framework for certain common and general quality principles for the implementation of the "European pathways", and, to enhance the transparency and internal consistency of the actions undertaken by and among the players involved in vocational training at all levels by introducing a document called "EUROPASS". These two lines of action respect the principle of subsidiarity as required by the Treaty. Actions undertaken - often on a bilateral basis - by the Member States on their own initiative, and transnational exchange and placement programmes undertaken as part of the Community programmes and initiatives (particularly Strands I and II of Leonardo da Vinci) delineate a general framework within which the "European pathways" will be implemented at the Community level in accordance with the general and common quality principles and for which the "EUROPASS" documents will be produced. In other words, the provisions of the decision proposed boost the impact of similar actions but do not entail any duplication. The introduction of "European pathways" within the quality conditions defined in the decision and of the "EUROPASS" will not only strengthen the dimension of work-linked training in Community placement and exchange programmes, but will c*fe> also heip to boosi the developn?ent of work-linked training and apprenticeship ir. the Member States by introducing therein a Eurooean dimension The opération proposed is in line with the expectations of the Member States and follows or. from the declarations of several European Ccincii meetings stressing the importance of apprenticeship for employment and of investment in human resources. Choice of ways and means While the cost of designing the "'EUROPASS" document will be borne entirely by the Commission (using a procedure which involves a call for tenders), the other actions needed for implementing the decision will be covered by subsidies which imply ofiûanzing by the operators concerned. This naturally applies to the conferences to launch the venture and raise awareness - except for the two Community level conferences which will be entirely funded by the Commission. It also concerns support for th'e setting up cf a network of information and coordination, the experts' studies and work envisaged to accompany the introduction of the arrangement paid for by the Commission in full respect of the rules governing contracts for studies and work by consultants. 9. 3. Monitoring and evaluation of the operation in accordance with Article 7 of the decision, the Commission will ensure the monitoring and implementation of the decision and will carry out an evaluation of progress achieved. It will therefore take the action needed for this, particularly with a view to the evaluation report which has to be submitted. Performance and impact indicators Several general and specific indicators will be taken into account for assessing the implementation of the decision: * * * * * * number of "European pathways" and "EUROPASS" documents issued (in absolute and relative value in relation to the number of young people undergoing work-linked training and apprenticeship) level of education and training of the recipients sectors covered failure rate of the actions undertaken average duration of the "European pathways" transnational flows of beneficiaries of "European pathways" (by Member State and across Member States), etc. «3, Details and frequency of planned evaluations Article 7 of the decision stipulates that a preliminary evaluation report on progress will be prepared for the first time three years after the adoption of this decision and every three years thereafter. 10.

J. i IMPACT STATEMENT FOR SMEs Impact of the proposal on the business environment with particular effect on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) Title of the proposal Proposal for a Council Decision on the promotion of European pathways for work-linked training, including apprenticeship Reference number of the document: XXXX The proposal 1 Taking account of the principle of subsidiarity, why is Community legislation necessary in this domain and what are its principal objectives? The proposal is presented in the framework of the general guidelines of the Commission's White Paper "Teaching and Learning - towards the learning society" (COM(95) 590 final) which underlined the necessity of strengthening investment in qualifications and competences and the strategic nature of work-linked training in this perspective. It is also presented in the perspective of the Green Paper "Obstacles to transnational mobility of persons in training" (COM(96) 462 final) the Commission the Work which in Europe recent Communication on training (COM(97) 300 final) show (including apprenticeship) as a way of improving the integration of young people into working life. the development of apprenticeship in work-linked and notably forward, interest taking there that is is The proposal aims to promote European pathways for work-linked training and apprenticeship. The approach proposed by the Commission, without interfering in with the responsibilities of Member States, concerns the content and organization of their education and training systems and aims to: identify and define general and common principles of quality which should apply to periods of training undertaken in another Member State ("European Pathways") which support and enrich the training followed in the original Member State, ensure that the "European Pathways" form an integral part of the training followed in the original Member State and that they meet general and common principles of quality and that their completion is recognized in such as way as to allow better transparency and greater visibility,. av organize for the setting up of the these "European Pathways" the required in close coordination and promotion measures at Community cooperation with Member States including the social partners at different levels whose responsibilities in this area are recognized. level Its operational content corresponds to the provisions of Article 127 of the Treaty and to the powers to act which these confer on the Commission. 2. Who will be affected bv the proposal? The Decision does not include any discriminatory measures for different sectors or sizes of enterprises. The size of the enterprise not being a criterion, the Decision is as relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as it is to large companies; but it can be assumed that the number of SMEs concerned will be quite high as they have a particularly active role in work-linked training and apprenticeship. The spread of training activities over a wide range of economic sectors is in fact dependent on SMEs, whose role is extremely important in the area of job creation and whose future of fundamental apprenticeship. In Germany for example, more than half of those undertaking an apprenticeship are found in enterprises employing less than 50 persons. involvement importance to the is of 3. What measures should enterprises take in order to conform to the proposal? The proposal foresees that the setting up of this system is based on the close cooperation between the original organizations where training takes places and the host organizations. Amongst the latter, enterprises and notably SMEs will represent a significant proposition. The basic precondition is that the "European Pathways" are integrated into the training followed by the young beneficiaries - the practicalities of the integration is a matter for Member States. This system will be based on a set of defined and common criteria. Enterprises should therefore make sure that the general and common principles of quality, in terms of the content and objectives as well as the practicalities of implementation (notably with regard to pedagogical follow-up and evaluation procedures) are respected. ±t 4. What economic effects is the proposal likely to have9 (a) On employment Apprenticeship improves employment prospects; unemployment tends to be lower than average in young people who have successfully completed an apprenticeship. For examfjle, in the Irish apprenticeship system, rates of placement of 95 to 100% have been recorded. The importance of work experience in an enterprise has been confirmed in the new German Lander. It has been shown that directly after the end of training three quarters of apprentices who have been trained within an enterprise go into a job whereas only 19% were unemployed. The promotion of European pathways should allow young people to gain a wider range of skills in the context of different working environments at all levels. As most enterprises are looking for adaptable workers, transnational experience as recognized by the "European Pathways" will present an additional enhancement of the young person's experience in this perspective. Opportunities for finding work should be significantly strengthened by this. (b) On investment and creating new enterprises One of the objectives sought is the transformation of enterprises and the creation of new enterprises. Apprenticeship has always been a particularly effective way of transforming enterprises, notably in the craft industry. Its significance should be underlined because the time at which an enterprise is transformed is also a time of detailed analysis of their chances of survival. With the extension of work-linked training to higher levels of qualification together with the recognition of training experience in different social and economic contexts, efforts are being made to progress beyond the level of the craft industry to include SMEs The training of production engineers by means of apprenticeship is being taken forward with this in mind. (c) The competitiveness of enterprises The competitiveness of enterprises comes as much from the level of competence of their workers as from the ways in which their work is organized. The discovery of different systems for working and the capacity to work in multi-cultural milieu should develop the all-round level of expertise of amongst that part of the workforce which has benefited from periods of training in enterprises in other Member States 3. 6 5. Does the. proposal contain any measures which aim Jo take into account the specific situation of small and medium-sized enterprises (Special conditions etc. )9 The proposal does not discriminate according to the size of enterprises and so does not contain any specific measures for SMEs. However, as a number of SMEs accommodate young people in the context of work-linked training and notably apprenticeship, it is appropriate to give particular attention to the case of SMEs in the follow-up process in view of the reports planned to examine the effects of specific measures. Consultation 6. List of organizations which have been consulted on the proposal and summary of their main points of view , The Advisory Committee on Vocational Training (ACVT), a statutory tripartite body created by a Council Decision, was formally consulted (29 October 1997). Apart from this the initiative which is the subject of this proposal was considered by the informal group of Directors-General of Vocational Training and that of the Directors-General of Employment (20-21 October 1997). 3a ISSN 0254-1475 COM(98) 342 final DOCUMENTS EN 04 16 05 Catalogue number : CB-CO-98-349-EN-C ISBN 92-78-36575-0 Office for Official Publications of the European Communities L-2985 Luxembourg 2r

text: C 13/94 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee IT 18. 1. 1999 (1999/C 13/134) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-1819/98 di W. G. van Velzen (PPE) alla Commissione (29 maggio 1998) Oggetto: Risposta della Commissione europea ai controlli relativi al trasporto di scorie nucleari in Germania e in Francia La scorsa settimana Ł emerso che vi sono state emissioni radioattive dai fusti utilizzati per il trasporto di scorie radioattive verso centri di stoccaggio, ad esempio quelli di Ahaus e Gorleben, e impianti di ritrattamento, tra cui quelli di La Hague in Francia e di Sellafield in Gran Bretagna. Pare che gli speciali contenitori Castor, utilizzati fin dagli anni (cid:146)80, disperdano talvolta radiazioni e che i dati rilevati al loro esterno superino di centinaia di volte i limiti di legge. 1. E(cid:146) stata la Commissione informata dalle autorit(cid:224) nazionali della gravit(cid:224) e delle dimensioni del problema? 2. Qual Ł la responsabilit(cid:224) della Commissione in merito? 3. Le scorie radioattive tedesche sono tra l(cid:146)altro stoccate ad Ahaus vicino al confine olandese. Per la salute pubblica sorgono pertanto rischi immediati che non conoscono frontiere. Cosa intende fare la Commissione per far s(cid:236) che gli autoveicoli pesanti e i vagoni ferroviari utilizzati per il trasporto siano sottoposti a una misurazione costante della radioattivit(cid:224) e che il trasporto lungo tutto il percorso si svolga senza emissioni radioattive? Risposta data dalla sig. ra Bjerregaard a nome della Commissione (9 luglio 1998) Per il trasporto dei residui radioattivi e del combustibile nucleare irradiato vengono utilizzati diversi tipi di contenitori. Quelli utilizzati per il trasporto di tale combustibile rispettivamente a La Hague e a Sellafield sono diversi gli uni dagli altri come pure dai contenitori Castor utilizzati soltanto per il trasporto e lo stoccaggio di tali materie in Germania. Gli episodi avvenuti di recente sono stati causati da informazioni in base alle quali i contenitori utilizzati per il trasporto del combustibile nucleare irradiato a La Hague erano, in molti casi, contaminati, con tracce di materie radioattive sulla superficie esterna superiori ai limiti ammissibili. Per ulteriori delucidazioni al riguardo si invita a fare riferimento alla risposta della Commissione all(cid:146)interrogazione scritta P- 1723/98 della onorevole Bloch von Blottnitz (1). Successivamente alla contaminazione dei contenitori destinati a La Hague, gli Stati membri interessati hanno esaminato la possibilit(cid:224) di casi simili concernenti altri tipi di contenitori compresi, in Germania, i contenitori Castor. 1. e 2. Gli Stati membri sono in effetti direttamente responsabili dell(cid:146)applicazione della legislazione comunitaria pertinente e non hanno alcun obbligo specifico di informare al riguardo la Commissione. Tuttavia la Commissione, come custode dei trattati, ha preso contatto con gli Stati membri interessati per ottenere le informazioni pertinenti. 3. La contaminazione radioattiva della superficie dei contenitori presenta rischi per le persone soltanto in caso di diretto contatto o di prossimit(cid:224) tra le persone e tali superfici. La situazione del centro di stoccaggio di Ahaus vicino al confine olandese non comporta pertanto un potenziale problema di contaminazione transfrontaliera. Inoltre le informazioni finora a disposizione non indicano una avvenuta eccessiva esposizione per alcun individuo della popolazione. La Commissione non intende pertanto, come custode dei trattati, proporre alcuna azione specifica circa future misure di controllo di questo tipo di contaminazione.

text: C 386/154 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 11. 12. 98 (98/C 386/210) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1660/98 by Rainer Wieland (PPE) to the Commission (29 May 1998) Subject: Costs of the parliamentary system Sector IV of the German Bundestag(cid:146)s research service produced a document which calculated (cid:145)the costs of the parliamentary system of the USA and the Federal Republic of Germany(cid:146) on 24 February 1998 under the reference number WF IV › 4/98. Is the Commission aware of this document? Does the Commission consider that the conclusions reached are accurate? Is the Commission able to compare the costs of the parliamentary systems in the Member States of the Union and the costs of the parliamentary system of the European Union itself, in the case of the latter both with and without inclusion of the language services, for the figures available from 1993 onwards for the relevant financial years? If so, what is the outcome of this comparison? Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (12 June 1998) In the performance of its duties under the Treaties, the Commission does not acquire information of the kind requested. It is therefore unable to answer the question. (98/C 386/211) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1671/98 by Cristiana Muscardini (NI) to the Commission (29 May 1998) Subject: RAI International and the protection of plural information Italian state television, in order to broadcast programmes and information to the Italian community living overseas, has for many years had a section known as RAI International which broacasts, in Italian, a selection of programmes devised in its Rome studios. The person appointed to head this important section, which is responsible for presenting Italy(cid:146)s image abroad, is a party politician › the previous head of the former Italian Communist Party(cid:146)s propaganda unit › and, consequently, does not possess the independence of mind which should be an essential prerequisite for senior office in the public service. The programmes broadcast by RAI International are self-congratulatory celebrations of and by the Left, with old films and programmes being transmitted at prime time while news and cultural programmes which would provide more elevating entertainment for communities abroad are relegated to less popular viewing times. Meanwhile, the parliamentary monitoring committee which should uphold fair broadcasting standards cannot intervene for the simple reason that these programmes can be received only overseas. Could the Commision take action: 1. 2. to ensure that the RAI, as a public service broadcaster, broadcasts independent and pluralistic information, and to urge RAI International to uphold the right to receive accurate information in order to protect Italian citizens living abroad by ensuring the information provided to them is as objective, fair, independent and pluralistic as possible
