text: 14. 12. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 321/19 II (Acts whose publication is not obligatory) COMMISSION COMMISSION DECISION of 22 November 1999 confirming the measures notified by the Netherlands pursuant to Article 6(6) of Directive 94/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on packaging and packaging waste (notified under document number C(1999) 3818) (Only the Dutch text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (1999/823/EC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, quantified targets to be achieved by Member States for recovery and recycling of packaging waste. Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Directive 94/62/EC of the European Parlia- ment and of the Council of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste (1), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof, Having verified, in cooperation with the Member States, that the conditions established in Article 6(6) are met, Whereas: I. PROCEDURE 1. Directive 94/62/EC (1) Directive 94/62/EC, based on Article 95 (ex Article 100a) of the Treaty, aims to harmonise national meas- ures concerning the management of packaging and packaging waste in order to prevent any impact thereof on the environment or to reduce such an impact, thus providing a high level of environmental protection, and to ensure the functioning of the internal market and to avoid obstacles to trade as well as distortions and restric- tions of competition within the Community, To this end, Article 6(1) of the Directive lays down, inter alia, (1) OJ L 365, 31. 12. 1994, p. 10. (2) (3) Article 6(1)(a) establishes that, no later than 30 June 2001, between 50 % as a minimum and 65 % as a maximum by weight of the packaging waste will be recovered. Pursuant to Article 6(1)(b), within this general target, and within the same time limit, between 25 % as a minimum and 45 % as a maximum by weight of the totality of packaging materials contained in packaging waste will be recycled, with a minimum of 15 % by weight for each packaging material. Article 6(6) introduces a monitoring procedure to ensure coherence between the different strategies chosen by Member States, particularly with a view to ensure that targets set in one Member State do not hinder compli- ance by other Member States with the Directive or repre- sent distortions of the internal market. (4) Under that provision, the Commission is to confirm such measures after appropriate verification. 2. The measures notified (5) transposed Directive 94/62/EC by The Netherlands means of a Regulation (hereafter ‘the Regulation’), published in the Staatscourant on 4 July 1997 and entered into force on 1 August 1997. L 321/20 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 14. 12. 1999 (6) the Regulation requires producers and Article 3 of importers, with effect from 1 August 1998, to recover 65 % of the packaging waste and to recycle 45 % of the totality of packaging materials contained in packaging waste, with a minimum of 15 % by weight for each packaging material. There are three possibilities to fulfil this obligation. overall objective of the general covenant is to minimise the amount of packaging waste which needs to be disposed of. To this end, the Covenant establishes that by 30 June 2001 at least 65 % of packaging materials contained in the packaging waste must be recycled. Specific targets for each specific packaging material are laid down in the respective sub-covenants (85 % for paper, 90 % for glass, 80 % for metals, 27 % for plastics and 15 % for wood). (a) Producer/importers may fulfil the obligation individ- ually. In such case, Article 6 of the Regulation estab- lishes that they notify the Minister on an individual basis how the packaging waste will be taken back, recovered and recycled. (9) (b) Producer/importers may jointly notify to the Minister how they intend to fulfil the obligations of Article 3 (Article 9 of the Regulation). This means that they demonstrate that they are affiliated to an organisation of producers and importers which fulfils these obligations on their behalf. They still the obligation to achieve the have, recovery and recycling targets, but they are no longer subject to an individual obligation of noti- fication to the Minister. individually, the Regulation (Article 2 of (c) Producers/importers who are signatory to a covenant between public authorities and economic operators of the packaging chain, in which binding. agreements have been made on the implementation of the obli- gations set out in the Regulation, are released from the individual obligations set out in Articles 3 to 9 of the Regulation). Although the obligation to fulfil the recovery and and recycling targets importers signatory to the covenant are released from the notification and reporting obligations set out in the Regulation. In addition, producers/impor- ters signatory to the covenant have to achieve higher recycling targets than those set out in the Regula- tion. The whole idea behind this option is to aim at higher targets at the lowest possible administrative cost. remains valid, producers (7) (8) the ‘Packaging Covenant Article 2 of the Regulation has been implemented by means of (hereafter ‘the Covenant’). Certain provisions contained in the Cove- nant exceed the targets set out in Article 6(1) of Directive 94/62/EC and they are therefore the main subject of this Decision. II’ ‘Packaging Covenant A draft II’ was notified to the Commission on 25 August 1997 (notification 97/ 0576/NL), in the context of the procedure established by Directive 83/189/EEC (1). This Covenant consists of a general covenant and a number of subcovenants. The (1) OJ L 109, 26. 4. 1983, p. 8. This Directive has been amended by Directive 98/34/EC (OJ L 204, 21. 7. 1998, p. 37). Commenting on the notification of the draft covenant, the Commission asked the on 26 November 1997, Netherlands to confirm the intention to invoke Article 6(6) and to provide information on the expected recy- cling target as well as on the measures taken to avoid compliance problems of other Member States with the Directive, trade restrictions and market distortions. (10) On 19 November 1997, the United Kingdom also commented on this notification, requiring ‘additional information’ seeking to demonstrate that the conditions laid down in Article 6(6) are complied with. (11) The ‘Packaging Covenant II’ was signed on 15 December 1997. (12) further details, By letter of 18 March 1998, reacting to the comments of the Commission and the United Kingdom, the Neth- erlands informed that material recycling had already attained the overall rate of 51 % and that existing recy- cling capacities were considered to be largely sufficient in order to exceed the maximum recycling target set by the Directive. For the Netherlands referred to a specific letter addressed to the Commission on 26 February 1998. In this letter, the Netherlands confirmed its intention to reach a recycling target of 65 % by the year 2001. The Netherlands pointed at the fact that recyclable packaging is subject to the rules on free circulation, which makes it difficult to exactly monitor which part of the existing Dutch recycling capacities is used for recycling Dutch waste as well as which part of Dutch waste is recycled abroad. The Neth- erlands referred to the discussion in the Article 21 Committee on 21 April 1997, where a general consensus was reached about the primary role which should be played by those Member States fearing that their compliance with the Directive would be hindered by measures which were adopted by other Member States. In any case, in order to give an insight about the existing recycling capacities in the Netherlands, the following table was provided, which shows that there is enough capacity to treat the additional packaging to be recycled by 2001. 14. 12. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 321/21 Glass Paper/board Metals Plastics Production capacity in NL in 1996 (Thousand tonnes) Use of recyclates in 1996 (Thousand tonnes) Quantity of packaging put on the market in 1996 (Thou- sand tonnes) Quantity of packaging materially recycled in 1996 (Thou- sand tonnes) Percentage of packaging materially recycled in 1996 Intended percentage of packaging waste to be recycled in 2001 820 400 472 338 72 90 2 824 2 106 1 401 865 62 85 6 000 1 500 214 126 59 80 Intended quantity of packaging waste to be recycled in 2001 (Thousand tonnes) 425 1 191 171 Additional quantity of packaging to be materially recycled in 2001 compared to 1996 (Thousand tonnes) 87 326 45 3 000 300 613 67 11 35 214 147 3. Opinions (13) Article 6(6) states that the Commission shall take a decision, after a verification of the measures in co- operation with Member States. To this end, the Commis- sion consulted the Member States on this notification in the context of the Committee established by Article 21 of Directive 94/62/EC. A discussion within this Committee was held on 6 July 1999. Member States were then invited to send written comments to the Commission by 20 July 1999. (14) The United Kingdom pointed at the difficulties to assess in practice the effects of measures exceeding the maximum targets of Directive 94/62/EC but did not foresee any significant problem in relation to the Dutch notification. Italy stated that it is important that the Commission carries out the necessary analysis to make sure that the conditions laid down in Article 6(6) of Directive 94/62/EC are fulfilled. Provided the Commis- sion agrees with the Dutch measures, Italy would not raise objections. Belgium requested the Commission to make sure that the comparability of Dutch targets with the targets of In particular the Directive is ensured. Belgium asked the Netherlands to clarify if the recycling targets set out in the Covenant also include reuse of packaging. The Netherlands confirmed that, in line with Directive 94/62/EC, its recycling targets do not include the reuse of packaging. In conclusion, no Member State contended that the Dutch measures could create internal market distortions or hinder compliance by other Member States with the Directive. II. ASSESSMENT (15) Article 6(6) of Directive 94/62/EC allows Member States to go beyond targets set in Article 6(1)(a) and 6(1)(b) if the Member State provides to this effect appropriate capacities for recycling and recovery. The measures must be taken in the interest of a high level of environmental protection and on the condition that they avoid distor- tions of the internal market and do not hinder compli- ance by other Member States with the Directive. Nor may they constitute an arbitrary means of discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between Member States. (16) In this case, the Netherlands have asked for a derogation from Article 6(1)(b). (17) The Commission has consulted the Member States and no objections to the Dutch measures have been raised. (18) (19) a) Appropriate capacities for recovery and recycling This requirement is interpreted by the Commission as not imposing on Member States total self sufficiency with respect to recycling and recovery. Member States may also have recourse to capacities located in other Member States and third countries in order to fulfil their recycling and recovery targets. This, however, makes it difficult to carry out a precise quantification of available capacities, since recycling takes place in an open inter- national market. This criterion serves also the purpose of ensuring that measures taken in one Member State do not result in problems of compliance with the Directive for other Member States; therefore it should be seen in conjunc- tion with the other criteria laid down in Article 6(6). In practice, compliance with this criterion is a signal for compliance with criteria (b) and (c) below. In particular, if targets are set exceeding those laid down in Article 6(1), it should be ensured that this is not to the detri- ment of collection and recycling schemes in other Member States. L 321/22 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 14. 12. 1999 (20) As regards the Dutch notified measures, the information provided by the Dutch Government to the Commission and to the other Member States indicated that the exceeding of the targets of Directive 94/62/EC does not exert as a consequence any disturbance on the market for recyclates in other Member States. (27) (21) More specifically, the information provided by the Neth- erlands and summarised in the above table indicate that a recycling rate of 72 % of glass packaging, 62 % of paper/board packaging, 59 % of metal packaging and 11 % of plastic packaging had already been achieved in 1996 and that no capacity problems exist for absorbing additional quantities of packaging to be materially recycled in 2001. The present production capacity in these sectors allows to considerably increase the recy- cling rates of packaging without having to necessarily use recycling capacities located outside the Dutch terri- tory. (22) The Commission finds that the Netherlands provides appropriate capacities for recycling. (28) b) Potential distortions of the internal market (23) The Commission has assessed the measures as notified by the Netherlands and finds that the recycling rates laid down in the Covenant do not appear to cause, at present, distortions of the internal market. This Decision is without prejudice application of to the Community law, particularly as regards the free move- ment of goods. The consultation of the other Member States revealed that no Member State considers that the Dutch measure could lead to market distortions. full (29) (24) The Commission does not dispose of any other element showing that the Dutch recycling targets would lead arbitrarily to market distortions. (25) (26) c) Non-hindrance of compliance by other Member States with the Directive The purpose of this criterion is to avoid recycling and recovery capacities of Member States being filled up by packaging waste collected in other Member States. This is particularly relevant for those Member States which have not yet started recycling of packaging waste on a large scale and where the infrastructure for collection is still to be set up or completed. The assessment of the notified measures in light of this criterion should primarily be made taking into account the opinion of the Member States whose compliance with the targets of the Directive could be endangered by measures set up in other Member States. No Member State expressed concern that the compliance with the Directive could be hindered by the measures notified by the Netherlands. The Commission has not either become aware or been made aware of any compliance problem caused by the Dutch measures to other Member States. In assessing whether exceeding the recycling target by the Netherlands could result in recycling capacities in other Member States being exploited, thereby resulting in potential compliance problems by other Member States with the targets of the Directive, the Commission also takes into account the fact that the Netherlands produce in total less than 5 % of the packaging waste produced in the Community. Therefore, in the Commis- sion's view, taking also into account the high recycling rates already achieved in the Netherlands, there is no real risk that this would result in problems for other Member States in complying with the targets of Directive 94/62/ EC. d) No arbitrary means of discrimination The Dutch measures apply without distinction to all packaging waste, whether arising from domestic or imported products. The Commission has consulted the Member States: the information obtained is not indic- ative of any arbitrary discrimination. e) No disguised restriction on trade between Member States This concept refers to possible restrictions on imports of products from other Member States and to indirect protection of domestic production. Wastes are goods which fall under the scope of Articles 28 to 30 of the Treaty and consequently measures taken in the field of waste management are also capable, in certain circum- stances, of restricting trade or protecting domestic production. The Commission therefore needs to assess whether unwished effects are avoided by setting targets in such a way that no indirect favorisation of domestic production or distribution occurs. However, the content of the Dutch measures and their application do not seem to allow for the conclusion that restriction on trade are caused by the Dutch notified measures. III. CONCLUSION (30) The Commission, the information in the light of provided by the Netherlands and of the outcome of the the Member States described in the consultation of above considerations, concludes that the measures noti- fied by the Netherlands pursuant to Article 6(6) of Directive 94/62/EC should be confirmed since it has been verified that: — appropriate capacities for recycling exist in the Neth- erlands, — the measures do not lead to distortions of the internal market, 14. 12. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 321/23 — the measures do not hinder compliance by other Member States with the Directive, — the measures do not constitute an arbitrary means of discrimination, — the measures do not constitute a disguised restriction on trade between Member States, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 The measures notified by the Netherlands which exceed the maximum recycling target laid down in Article 6(1)(b) of Directive 94/62/EC are hereby confirmed. Article 2 This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Done at Brussels, 22 November 1999. For the Commission Margot WALLSTRÖM Member of the Commission

In artikel 64, lid 4, sub a), van de Europa-Overeenkomst met Letland wordt bepaald dat — voor de toepassing van bepaalde voorschriften voor overheidssteun — gedurende de eerste vijf jaar na de inwerkingtreding van die overeenkomst alle door Letland verleende overheidssteun wordt beoordeeld met inachtneming van het feit dat het land wordt gelijkgesteld met de streken van de Gemeenschap die volgens artikel 87, lid 3, sub a), van het Verdrag tot oprichting van de Europese Gemeenschap voor overheidssteun in aanmerking komen. De bedoelde periode van vijf jaar loopt af op 31 december 1999. Overeenkomstig de laatste zin van artikel 64, Overeenkomst, besluit de Associatieraad, met situatie in Letland, of die periode met nog eens vijf jaar moet worden verlengd. lid 4, sub a), van de Europa- inachtneming van de economische Letland heeft om deze verlenging verzocht. Het belangrijkste criterium op grond waarvan een regio in aanmerking komt voor regionale steun overeenkomstig het bepaalde in artikel 87, lid 3, sub a), is dat het BBP per hoofd van de bevolking, gemeten in koopkrachtpariteit, minder moet bedragen dan 75% van het gemiddelde BBP van de 15 lidstaten van de EU1. De Commissie heeft verzoek aan de hand van de voor Letland beschikbare gegevens bestudeerd. Uit de gegevens blijkt dat het BBP per hoofd van de bevolking, gemeten in koopkrachtpariteiten, in Letland 27% van het communautair gemiddelde over 1997 bedraagt. Volgens de Commissie is er hierom voldoende grond de verlenging voor Letland toe te staan, mits voor het land regelmatig de informatie over de economische situatie beschikbaar komt die relevant is voor de beoordeling van de toepassing van artikel 64, lid 4, sub a), in het bijzonder gegevens over het BBP per hoofd van de bevolking, berekend in koopkrachtpariteit. In verband met de uiteenlopende niveaus van economische ontwikkeling moet de maximale steun aan de diverse regio’s binnen Letland worden aangepast. Deze differentiëring van de hulp moet door de Commissie en de Letse toezichthoudende autoriteit gezamenlijk worden vastgesteld aan de hand van de gegevens per regio, overeenkomstig de in de Gemeenschap van toepassing zijnde richtsnoeren inzake regionale steunmaatregelen2. 8.

Desuden er det ikke altid de samme, medlemsstaterne sender til młderne i disse udvalg, hvorfor det er umuligt at give p(cid:229)lidelige oplysninger om, hvor mange m(cid:230)nd og hvor mange kvinder der sidder i disse udvalg.

(2000/C 219 E/123) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-2121/99 af Olivier Dupuis (TDI) til Kommissionen (22. november 1999) Om: Salg af flybilletter Brugere af tjenesteydelser inden for transport pr. jernbane, ad vej (bus, rutebil) eller ad vandvejen i EU kan ved henvendelse til offentlige eller private selskaber kłbe »enkeltbilletter« eller »returbilletter«. For s(cid:229) vidt ang(cid:229)r lufttransport, giver stłrstedelen af selskaberne (cid:129) med vigtige undtagelser (cid:129) kun europ(cid:230)iske brugere mulighed for at kłbe »enkeltbilletter« p(cid:229) »businessclass« eller »fłrste klasse«, hvilket ofte tvinger passagerer, der rejser p(cid:229) »łkonomiklasse«, til at kłbe en »returbillet«, hvis sidste del de fra starten ved, at de ikke kan benytte. Finder Kommissionen ikke, at denne praksis, som luftfartsselskaberne fłlger, udgłr magtmisbrug, i og med, at den tvinger flypassagerer til at kłbe en tjeneste, som de ikke kan drage nytte af? Hvilke initiativer har Kommissionen taget eller agter den at tage for at głre en ende p(cid:229) denne praksis? C 219 E/96 De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende DA 1. 8. 2000 Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Loyola de Palacio (17. december 1999) Det forhold, at luftfartsselskaberne ofte kr(cid:230)ver mindre for deres billigste returbillet end for en enkeltbillet til standardtakst, er ikke i modstrid med F(cid:230)llesskabets bestemmelser om pris-fasts(cid:230)ttelse som fastsat i R(cid:229)dets forordning (E(cid:216)F) nr. 2409/92 af 23. juli 1992 om billetpriser og rater inden for luftfart (1). I hen- hold til denne forordning har luftfartsselskaberne fuld frihed til at fasts(cid:230)tte s(cid:229)vel prisniveauet som prisstrukturen, hvorved de hurtigt kan reagere p(cid:229) markedsudviklingen. Dette har fłrt til en h(cid:229)rdere konkurrence og specielt til lavere turisttakster p(cid:229) mange flyruter. De fleste luftfartsselskaber tilbyder kun deres laveste takster i form af returbilletter, fordi det simpelthen ville v(cid:230)re ułkonomisk at opsplitte dem og s(cid:230)lge dem til halv pris som enkeltbilletter. Ofte repr(cid:230)senterer disse turisttakster en virkelig besparelse, selv om billetten kun benyttes den ene vej. Fordelen ved R(cid:229)dets forordning (E(cid:216)F) nr. 2409/92 er imidlertid, at den głr det muligt for luftfartssel- skaberne at reagere lłbende p(cid:229) markedsudviklingen, s(cid:229) de kan konkurrere med deres rivaler. En r(cid:230)kke af de nye lavprisselskaber tilbyder nu meget lave priser p(cid:229) enkeltbilletter samt en gennemskuelig pris- fasts(cid:230)ttelsesstruktur, som er baseret p(cid:229) omkostningerne i i flyvningen. Dette viser, at luftfartsselskaberne kan reagere p(cid:229) deres kunders łnsker, og at det er vigtigt at bevare denne fleksibilitet. forbindelse med hvert enkelt element I betragtning af de fordele, der er forbundet med at sikre luftfartsselskaberne den fornłdne fleksibilitet til at fasts(cid:230)tte deres priser p(cid:229) grundlag af markedet, har Kommissionen ingen planer om at indfłre yderligere restriktioner eller krav over for luftfartsselskaberne med hensyn til spłrgsm(cid:229)let om enkeltbilletter.

text: COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 22. 11. 1999 COM(1999) 602 final 1999/0249 (ACC) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the position to be taken by the Community within the Association Council established by the Europe Agreement signed on 12 June 1995 between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, with regard to the extension for a further period of five years in accordance with the provisions of Article 64 § 4(a) of the Europe Agreement with the Republic of Latvia (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM Extension for a further five year period in accordance with the provision of Article 64 (4)(a) of the Europe Agreement with the Republic of Latvia 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Article 64 (4) (a) of the Europe Agreement with the Republic of Latvia provides that, for the purpose of applying certain provisions relating to public aid, during the first five years after the entry into force of the Agreement any public aid granted by the Republic of Latvia shall be assessed taking into account the fact that the Republic of Latvia shall be regarded as an area identical to those areas of the Community eligible for state aid pursuant Article 87(3) the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community. (a) of The period of five years referred above will expire on 31 December 1999. In accordance with the last sentence of Article 64 (4)(a) of the Europe Agreement, the Association Council shall, taking into account the economic situation of the country concerned, decide whether that period should be extended for a further five years. The Republic of Latvia requested the extension of the above-mentioned provision. The main criterion for considering an area eligible for regional aid pursuant to Article 87(3)(a) provisions is that GDP per capita should be less than 75% of the average GDP of the EU-15, measured in PPS terms1. The Commission has examined the requests on the basis of the figures and information available for the Republic of Latvia. The data shows that in the case of the Republic of Latvia GDP/capita measured in Purchasing Power Standards (PPS) reaches 27 % of the Community average in 1997. Based on the above, the figures available the Commission believes that provide sufficient grounds for granting an extension to the Republic of Latvia under the condition of receiving regular information on the economic situation of the countries concerned relevant for the assessment of the application of Article 64 (4) (a), in particular regarding regional GDP per capita figures in PPS terms. It is also necessary, in order to take due account of the differing levels of economic development, to modulate the maximum aid intensities within the different regions of the Republic of Latvia. To this effect, differentiation of aid intensities will have to be set up jointly by the Commission and the Latvian monitoring authority on the basis of regionalised data in accordance with the 1 OJ C74 of 10. 3. 1998, p. 9. 2 provisions laid down in the Guidelines for national regional aid2 applicable within the Community. 8. The Commission therefore requests the Council to adopt the attached proposal for a Council Decision. 2 OJ C74 of 10. 3. 1998. 3 Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the position to be taken by the Community within the Association Council established by the Europe Agreement signed on 12 June 1995 between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, with regard to the extension for a further period of five years in accordance with the provisions of Article 64 § 4(a) of the Europe Agreement with the Republic of Latvia THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 in conjunction with the first sentence of Article 300(2) thereof, Having regard to the proposal of the Commission of the European Communities, (1) Whereas the European Community and their Member States signed the Europe Agreement with the Republic of Latvia on 12 June 1995; (2) Whereas Article 64(4)(a) of the Europe Agreement the lays down that Association Council shall, the economic situation of taking into account Latvia, decide whether the period within which any public aid granted by Latvia shall be assessed taking into account the fact that Latvia shall be regarded as an area identical to those areas of the Community described in Article 87(3)(a) of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community should be extended for a further five years; HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: The position to be taken by the Community within the Association Council established by the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, with regard to the extension for a further five years in accordance with Article 64 § 4(a) shall be based on the draft decision of the Association Council annexed to this Decision.
