text: 21. 12. 1999 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunità europee C 370/13 Il fatto che una restrizione verticale non possa beneficiare di un’esenzione per categorie non significa che essa sia illegale. La restrizione in questione può non avere affatto l’effetto di limitare la concorrenza e può non rientrare nel campo di applicazione dell’articolo 85, paragrafo 1 del trattato CE. Oppure può rientrare nella previsione dell’articolo 85, paragrafo 1 ma beneficiare di un’esenzione in virtù dell’articolo 85, paragrafo 3. La Commissione pubblicherà linee direttive per l’applicazione delle regole di concorrenza applicabili alle imprese che detengono una quota di mercato superiore alla soglia in modo da chiarire le proprie politiche future nei confronti di tali imprese. Le imprese il cui potere di mercato sia al di sopra della soglia possono essere tenute ad adeguare una parte dei loro contratti se, in seguito ad una indagine sul loro mercato, ciò si dimostrasse necessario per far sì che esso continui ad essere aperto e competitivo. Tali misure di tutela della concorrenza saranno positive per i consumatori e, a più lungo termine, avranno effetti benefici sull’occupazione dal momento che favoriscono la vitalità dell’industria. (1) COM(98) 544 def. (1999/C 370/016) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-3956/98 di Concepció Ferrer (PPE) alla Commissione (4 gennaio 1999) Oggetto: Rispetto del codice di condotta sull’esportazione di armi Uno studio realizzato recentemente dal titolare della cattedra dell’Unesco per la pace e i diritti umani dell’Università autonoma di Barcellona concernente il rispetto del codice di condotta dell’Unione europea sull’esportazione di armi rileva che la Spagna ha venduto armi per un valore di 23. 000 milioni di pesetas a 23 paesi che non rispettano detto codice. E’ a conoscenza la Commissione dell’esistenza di questo studio? Sa essa se vi sono altri Stati membri che non soddisfano i requisiti del codice di condotta? Intende la Commissione adottare alcune misure al riguardo volte a sensibilizzare gli Stati membri in merito alla necessità di rispettare gli impegni assunti con la firma di detto codice? Risposta data dal sig. van den Broek in nome della Commissione (28 gennaio 1999) La Commissione non è a conoscenza dello studio al quale si riferisce l’onorevole parlamentare. La Commissione non ha responsabilità dirette in materia di rilascio delle licenze per l’esportazione di armi da parte degli Stati membri. Tuttavia, avendo gli Stati membri recentemente adottato il codice di condotta sull’esportazione di armi, essi sono tenuti alla rigorosa applicazione dei criteri, dei principi e delle procedure ivi previsti. La Commissione continuerà ad incoraggiare, negli ambienti appropriati, gli Stati membri ad operare in tal senso.

INTRODUCTION 1. On 16 December 1997, the Commission submitted a proposal for a European Parliament and Council Decision relating to guidelines for trans-European networks for the electronic interchange of data between administrations (IDA). The proposal is based on Article 129d, first paragraph of the EC Treaty. 2. The European Parliament delivered its first-reading opinion on 18 November 1998. The Economic and Social Committee delivered its opinion on 29 April 1998. The Committee of the Regions adopted its opinion on 14 May 1998. Further to the European Parliament’s opinion, the Commission submitted an amended proposal on 16 December 1998. 3. The Council adopted its common position, under Article 189b of the Treaty, on 21 December 1998. II. OBJECTIVE Thepurpose of this draft Decision, together with a draft Council Decision on interoperability, is to provide for a second phase of the IDA programme. A first IDA programme (Decision 95/468/EC), which was subsequently annulled by the Court of Justice in May 1998 due to an incorrect legal base, expired at the end of 1997. This Decision establishes a general telematic networks between administrations, setting out the objectives, priorities, broad lines for implementation and the financial framework. It also identifies projects of common interest in the sphere of trans-European networks for the interchange of data between administrations. framework for These two Decisions together aim to ensure better programme management as well as better project results and to shift the focus from development of network infrastructures to providing coordination and support to the various sectoral administrations. III. THE COMMON POSITION A. General comments The Council’s common position is in line with the objectives and the content of the Commission proposal. B. Specific comments Although the Council considered that a number of changes had to be made to the Commission’s proposal, these changes do not substantially alter the objectives nor the content of the proposal. The main modifications are summarised hereafter: C 55/12 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 2. 1999 1. P r i n c i p a l c h a n g e s m a d e t o t h e C o m m i s s i o n p r o p o s a l (i) Scope (Article 1) The Council considered it useful to specify in paragraph 1(a) that any new measures should take into account work already underway in the existing Community or Member States’ programmes. A new recital was also inserted relating to the convergence of networks towards a common telematic interface. (ii) Definitions (Article 2) The Council extended the definition of a ‘sectoral network’ to include a set of services and applications. (iii) Projects of common interest (Article 3) The Council deleted paragraph 3 as it considered that it was not necessary to refer to the financial, technical and management resources needed for implementing projects. (iv) Priorities (Article 4) The Council wished to give overall priority to projects which enhanced the economic viability of public administrations, EC institutions, Member States and the regions. (v) Broad lines (Article 5) A number of changes were made to this article in order to clarify the conditions relating to the implementation of IDA projects and in particular to strengthen the role of the sectoral committees. In addition, the Council inserted a reference to anticipated costs and benefits in paragraph 4 and specified that the post-implementation review would include cost-benefit analysis. (vi) Community financial contribution (Article 6) The Council has changed the wording in paragraphs 5 and 6 to specify that the Community should only contribute to the costs of IDA projects by direct grants in exceptional circumstances and that any funding after completion of the implementation phase should be in accordance with the comitology procedure in Article 8. The Council also deemed it necessary to state that projects which are already funded by the Community should not benefit from financial resources provided for by the IDA II programme. The Council also sought to clarify in a recital that Member States should bear the cost incurred by their own implementation of IDA projects and services. (vii) Implementation (Article 7) The Council considered it useful to specify in paragraph 2 that the IDA work programme shall include a breakdown of past expenditure by project for the previous years. Moreover, the Council has inserted two new paragraphs with a view to applying the Article 8 procedure to the breakdown of yearly budgetary expenditure and to requiring technical specifications of calls for tender for contracts over a certain threshold to be defined in coordination with the Member States. (viii) Committee procedure (Article 8) The Council has replaced the IIa committee procedure proposed by the Commission by a IIb committee procedure. 25. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 55/13 (ix) Review and evaluation (Article 9) The Council has changed the evaluation period of two years and has specified when the Commission should forward such evaluations. (x) Other sectoral networks (Article 11) With a view to ensuring consistency of other sectoral networks with IDA projects, the Council has inserted a new paragraph 7 which provides for a detailed yearly report on implementation including information on any user requirements that prevent other sectoral networks from making use of generic services. (xi) Entry into force (Article 13) The Council considered it advisable to set an expiry date for this Decision and has specified that it shall apply until the end of the fifth year after entry into force of the Decision. (xii) Projects of common interest (Annex) The Council, in conjunction with the Commission, has changed the structure of the Annex and has made some editorial adjustments for the sake of clarity. It has also sought to provide a more comprehensive list of telematic networks under B. The Council also considered it expedient not to specifically refer to the networks which were previously funded by the IDA programme and which are now excluded from the new programme, such as Transit, SCENT CIS/Fiscal. 2. C o u n c i l p o s i t i o n o n t h e E u r o p e a n P a r l i a m e n t ’ s a m e n d m e n t s (i) Amendments included in the common position The Council accepted nine amendments (Nos 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15 and 18) as the principle of proposed by amendment 6. the European Parliament as well as (ii) Amendments not incorporated into the common position In declining to include amendments Nos 3, 5, 11, 13, 19 (first part) and 20 in its common position, the Council endorsed the Commission’s position as set out in its amended proposal. As regards the remaining amendments, the Council was guided by the following considerations: — amendments Nos 10 and 21: although the principle of these amendments was accepted, they (as currently drafted) created a legal difficulty with regard to the question of granting residency status, — amendment No 14: having broadened the scope of Article 9 to include a general evaluation of the implementation of the Decision and having set a time schedule for submission of such evaluations in paragraph 3 of this article, it was considered that the Parliament’s concerns had already been taken into account in the common position, C 55/14 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 2. 1999 — amendment No 16: as the Council had already set a time limit for the Decision, this amendment was no longer necessary, — amendment No 17: the Council did not consider that such a provision was necessary and was reluctant to create a new legal precedent in this area, — amendments Nos 22, 23, 24: some aspects had already been incorporated into the common position, but as the Council has modified the structure of the Annex the wording of these amendments was no longer pertinent to the text of the common position

Tehty Brysselissä. Neuvoston puolesta Puheenjohtaja 25. 2. 1999 FI Euroopan yhteisöjen virallinen lehti C 55/37 NEUVOSTON PERUSTELUT I JOHDANTO 1. Komissio toimitti 1. syyskuuta 1998 neuvostolle edellä mainitun, EY:n perustamissopi- muksen 105 a artiklan 2 kohtaan perustuvan asetusehdotuksen, jolla muutetaan neuvos- ton asetusta (EY) 975/98 50 ja 10 sentin eurometallirahojen tiettyjen teknisten ominai- suuksien osalta. Perustamissopimuksen 189 c artiklan mukaista menettelyä sovelletaan kyseisen asetuksen antamiseen. 2. Euroopan parlamentti antoi lausuntonsa 18. marraskuuta 1998 ensimmäisessä käsitte- lyssä. Komissio ei aio tässä vaiheessa esittää muutettua ehdotusta perustamissopimuksen 189 a artiklan 2 kohdan mukaisesti. 3. Neuvosto vahvisti 21 päivänä joulukuuta 1998 yhteisen kantansa perustamissopimuksen 189 c artiklan a kohdan mukaisesti. II TAVOITE Edellä mainitulla ehdotuksella on tarkoitus muuttaa tiettyjä asetuksessa (EY) 975/98 säädettyjä 50 ja 10 sentin eurometallirahojen teknisiä ominaisuuksia Euroopan Sokeain liiton ja myyntiautomaattialan edustajien esittämien huomautusten johdosta. Siksi tällä ehdotuksella ainoastaan lisätään 50 sentin metallirahan painoa ja muutetaan sekä 50 että 10 sentin metallirahojen syrjän määritelmää. Komissio ei ehdota muutoksia asetuksen (EY) N:o 975/98 muihin osiin (yksikköarvot ja tekniset eritelmät). Ecofin-neuvostoon 6. heinäkuuta 1998 osallistuneet ministerit olivat tyytyväisiä siihen, että kyseisten metallirahojen tekniset ominaisuudet pyritään saamaan käyttäjäystävällisemmiksi. III YHTEISEN KANNAN ERITTELY Neuvoston yhteinen kanta on komission ehdotuksen mukainen. Euroopan parlamentti äänesti 18. marraskuuta 1998 yhdestä tarkistuksesta, jossa ehdote- taan yksikköarvoltaan 100 euron kultametallirahan laskemista liikkeeseen. Neuvoston yhteinen kanta ei sisällä tarkistusta. Neuvosto palauttaa tässä yhteydessä mieleen neuvoston 20 päivänä marraskuuta 1997 vahvistaman yhteisen kannan (EY) N:o 1/98 perustelut asetuksen (EY) 975/98 antamiseksi liikkeeseen laskettavaksi tarkoitettujen eurometallirahojen yksikköarvoista ja teknisistä eri- telmistä (EYVL C 23, 23. 1. 1998, s. 4), joissa neuvosto perustelee saman tarkistuksen hylkäämisen sillä kertaa. Neuvosto ei todellakaan voi hyväksyä ehdotusta yksikköarvoltaan 100 euron kultametallirahan laskemisesta liikkeeseen sen markkina-arvon ja nimellisarvon hyvin todennäköisen eron ja siihen liittyvän spekulatiivisen varastoonhankkimisen vuoksi sekä siksi, että 100 euron setelin liikkeelle laskemiselle on jo olemassa suunnitelma. C 55/38 FI Euroopan yhteisöjen virallinen lehti 25. 2. 1999 IV YHTEENVETO Neuvosto katsoo, että — sen yhteinen kanta vastaa 6. heinäkuuta 1998 pidetyn Ecofin-neuvoston poliittista tahtoa 50 ja 10 sentin metallirahojen saamisesta käyttäjäystävällisemmiksi ja että siinä otetaan huomioon Euroopan Sokeain liiton ja myyntiautomaattialan edustajien asiasta esittämät huomautukset — on tärkeää hyväksyä nämä rajoitetut tekniset muutokset nopeasti, jotta kaikkien eurome- tallirahojen tuotanto voidaan aloittaa mahdollisimman pian
