La section «Agriculture, développement rural et environnement», chargée de la préparation des travaux en la matière, a adopté son avis le 12 janvier 2000 (rapporteur: E. Chagas). Lors de sa 369e session plénière des 26 et 27 janvier 2000 (séance du 26 janvier 2000), le Comité économique et social a adopté par 113 voix pour, 1 voix contre et 3 abstentions l’avis suivant. 1. Introduction 2. Observations générales A` travers le règlement (CE) 1626/94 (1) et le règlement 1. 1. (CE) no 850/98 (2), le Conseil a adopté des mesures techniques de conservation des ressources de pêche en Méditerranée et de protection des juvéniles d’organismes marins. 1. 2. La Commission internationale pour la conservation des thonidés de l’Atlantique (CICTA) a recommandé certaines mesures techniques, raison pour laquelle la Communauté, en tant que membre de cette organisation et étant liée de ce fait par ces recommandations, doit adapter les règlements en question afin de les inclure.

Le CES approuve la proposition de décision à l’examen. 2. 2. Cette quatrième modification a pour objectif d’interdire le débarquement de thon rouge d’âge 0 pesant moins de 3,2 kg, au lieu du poids minimal précédemment fixé à 1,8 kg, conformément à la recommandation scientifique adoptée lors de la XIe session extraordinaire de la CICTA. 2. 2. 1. Dans cette même proposition de modification, la nouvelle rédaction proposée pour le paragraphe 1er de l’article (CE) no 1626/94 apporte également des 3 du règlement modifications relatives aux périodes actuelles de clôture de la pêche à la senne tournante en Méditerranée. Cette mesure ayant également été adoptée par le 2. 2. 2. Conseil général de la pêche de la Méditerranée (CGPM), l’on espère que tous les pays tiers qui opèrent dans la Méditerranée respecteront ces périodes de clôture en vue d’éviter une pression de pêche excessive sur les stocks de thon rouge.

text: 28. 12. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 374 E/23 Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission (7 March 2000) The Commission recently became aware of the situation described by the Honourable Member and asked the Spanish authorities for information in order to verify that the Community provisions applicable to the project in question were being complied with. Moreover, at the next meeting of the monitoring committee planned for April 2000, the Commission will ask for a more precise description of the project content. It will keep the Honourable Member informed of developments. (2000/C 374 E/028) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0098/00 by Camilo Nogueira RomÆn (Verts/ALE) to the Commission (26 January 2000) Subject: Application of the partnership principle in the drawing-up of the 2000-2006 Regional Develop- ment Plan for Spain(cid:146)s Objective 1 Autonomous Communities In October 1999 I tabled a written question to the Commission (P-1798/99) on application of the partnership principle in the drawing-up of the 2000-2006 Regional Development Plan for Spain(cid:146)s Objective 1 Autonomous Communities (1), bearing in mind that the plan, a key document covering the main investments to promote development, job creation, and transport networks, had not been considered by the Galician Parliament. The Member of the Commission who replied to the question, Mr Michel Barnier, indicated that a final answer would not be given until the text of the plan had been sent to Brussels but stated in any case that, under Articles 15 and 16 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 on the Structural Funds (2), Member States were indeed required to submit their plans to the Commission (cid:145)after consultation with the partners(cid:146), since the Regulation stipulates that each plan must include (cid:145)an account of arrangements made to consult partners(cid:146). Given that the text of the Regional Development Plan is already in the Commission(cid:146)s possession, what steps will the Commission take to ensure compliance with the partnership principle and uphold the powers of the Autonomous Communities, specifically Galicia, bearing in mind that the Spanish central government authorities ignored the Galician Parliament when they drew up the plan, even though it has a decisive bearing on the Autonomous Community(cid:146)s powers and its role as an entity responsible for Spain(cid:146)s economic and social development? (1) OJ C 203 E, 18. 7. 2000, p. 51. (2) OJ L 161, 26. 6. 1999, p. 1. Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission (10 March 2000) Article 8 of Council Regulation No (EC) 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (1) states that Community operations are to be drawn up in close consultation (the (cid:145)partnership(cid:146)) (cid:145)between the Commission and the Member State, together with the authorities and bodies designated by the Member State within the framework of its national and current practices, namely: the regional and local authorities and the other competent public authorities, the economic and social partners, any other relevant competent bodies within this framework. (cid:146) The authorities and bodies designated by the Member State are called (cid:145)partners. (cid:146) With regard to national regional development plans (RDPs), Articles 15 and 16 of this Regulation stipulate respectively that (cid:145)plans shall be submitted by the Member State to the Commission after consultation with the partners(cid:146) and that the plans shall include (cid:145)an account of arrangements made to consult partners. (cid:146) The RDP for the Objective 1 regions submitted by the Spanish Government on 29 October 1999 includes a chapter on the application of the Autonomous Communities were associated from the beginning in the design, development and drafting of the plan and that they had several opportunities of expressing their points of view and making changes to the final draft. this principle of partnership, which states in particular that C 374 E/24 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28. 12. 2000 Since, under Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is up to the Member State to designate these partners, the Commission considers that the Spanish Government has satisfied its obligations with regard to compliance with the principle of partnership in preparation of this RDP. (1) OJ L 161, 26. 6. 1999. (2000/C 374 E/029) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0103/00 by Jo Leinen (PSE) to the Commission (26 January 2000) Subject: Compatibility with Community law of a Danish law on the levying of capital gains tax in the event of transfer to another Member State A Danish law dating back to 1987 stipulates that the earnings from shares belonging to Danish citizens who move to another Member State are to be taxed. This means that people who are obliged to live and work in another EU country for professional or other reasons are subject to discrimination. Is paragraph 13a of the law on capital gains from shares (Lovbekendtgorelse 1987-11-05 No 698, 1. Karnovs Lovsamling 6 (1988), p. 5880) compatible with Articles 43, 56, 18 and 12 of the EC Treaty? 2. If it is not, what steps will the Commission take to make Denmark comply with Community law? Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission (9 March 2000) The Commission is aware of the Danish tax rules according to which non-realised capital gains resulting from shares are taxed, if a person leaves the country. Similar rules exist in Germany, France and Austria. The Danish law subjects capital gains on shares realised in Denmark to tax. In order to treat the taxpayer who leaves the Member State for a Member State where capital gains are not taxed, at equal footing, his latent tax liability with regard to capital gains is assessed when he leaves Denmark. However, this tax is not immediately due, but becomes payable only once the capital gains are realised, which means that the shares in question are effectively disposed of. The tax is assessed on the base of the capital gains calculated at the moment of leaving Denmark, but if the value of the shares goes down later, Denmark allows a new calculation of the tax so that only the effective capital gains are taxed. Moreover, tax on capital gains levied in the new Member State of residence are fully credited against the Danish tax liability. It is true that the tax assessed must be guaranteed by the taxpayer on exit from Danmark, but the Danish authorities accept (part of) the shares as security. There appears to be no material difference in the tax treatment of Danish residents and others who leave Denmark. At any rate, the Commission will further examine the compatibility of the Danish rules with Community law, because a complaint on the same matter has been lodged with it and is currently under consideration

Det forberedende arbejde henvistes til ØSU’s Sektion for Beskæftigelse, Sociale og Arbejdsmarkedsmæssige Spørgsmål og Borgerrettigheder, som udpegede Thomas Etty til ordfører. Sektionen vedtog sin udtalelse enstemmigt den 16. december 1999. Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg vedtog på sin 369. plenarforsamling af 26. -27. januar 2000, mødet den 26. januar 2000, følgende udtalelse med 122 stemmer for, ingen imod og 5 hverken for eller imod. 1. ØSU er generelt enig med Kommissionen i, at det er vigtigt at gøre fællesskabslovgivningen enklere og klarere, uden at antaste beskyttelsesniveauet. Der er et klart behov for dette i forbindelse med lovgivningen om sikkerhed og sundhed på arbejdspladsen, hvor nogle af de eksisterende instrumenter har fået en meget kompliceret struktur. ØSU konstaterer, at konsolideringen ikke indebærer 2. substantielle ændringer af den eksisterende lovgivning. ØSU konstaterer endvidere, at Kommissionens afgørelse 3. af 1. april 1987 fastslår, at alle retsakter skal kodificeres senest efter den 10. ændring (et minimumskrav). Direktivet fra 1990 om beskyttelse af arbejdstagerne mod farerne ved at være udsat for biologiske agenser er blevet ændret fire gange, nemlig i 1993, 1995, 1997 og igen i 1997. 4.

text: C 75/16 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 15. 3. 2000 Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Draft Communication from the Commission to the Member States establishing the guidelines for Community Initiative Programmes (CIPs) for which the Member States are invited to submit proposals for support under the Equal initiative’ (2000/C 75/07) On 19 October 1999 the Commission decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Article 262 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned draft communication. The Section for Employment, Social Affairs, and Citizenship, which was responsible for preparing the Committee’s work on the subject, adopted its opinion unanimously on 11 January 2000. The rapporteur was Mr Sharma. At its 369th plenary session of 26 and 27 January 2000 (meeting of 26 January), the Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 122 votes in favour and no votes against, with five abstentions. 1. Legal basis, content and scope of the proposal 1. 1. The legal basis for establishing guidelines for Com- munity Initiative Programmes (CIPs) derives from the Treaty of Amsterdam which includes a new title on employment and provides for a new co-ordinated strategy for employment across Member States. The employment guidelines, based on the four pillars of Employability, Entrepreneurship, Adapta- bility and Equal Opportunities, when transposed into national action plans for employment (NAPs), provide the framework for financial support at EU level. The aim of this community initiative which is entitled Equal, is to promote new means of combating all forms of discrimination and inequalities in connection with the labour market. This new approach is a direct consequence of Article 13 of the Treaty of Amsterdam which for the first time provides a legal basis for combatting discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, age or sexual orientation, and Article 137 in favour of social inclusion. Equal will also take due account of the social and vocational integration of asylum seekers. The objective of the European Employment Strategy 1. 2. (EES) is to arrive at a significant increase in the employment rate in Europe on a lasting basis. This is to be achieved by developing skills and employability of those currently outside the labour market and to address the needs of those already in work but in vulnerable sectors to update and renew their skills. In the Communication the Commission underlines that the capacity for entrepreneurship needs to be broadened and equal participation of men and women in the labour market must be ensured. Action needs to be taken to counter inequalities, discrimination and exclusion, for the jobless and for the employed. The ESC agrees with the emphasis on involvement of 2. 2. local and regional authorities, and greater emphasis on the role of business in the programme. (Paragraph 6). Although business have already participated in the previous community they need encouragement by information and initiatives, awareness campaigns to underline the added value and benefits of company involvement. Companies are often put off by the time they must invest due to heavy bureaucracy of such initiatives. However the importance of the involvement of NGOs and social partners in projects and the programme must not be overlooked. The mainstreaming potential of Equal will be great, and while authorities will be an important factor, the other sectors will also have much to offer which should not be downplayed. 2. 3. A move to more strategic projects (paragraph 6) set firmly in both the relevant policy framework and in the local/regional context is welcome. There should, however, remain the possibility of smaller scale, focused projects also being supported and efforts should be made to integrate companies of all sizes including SMEs which constitute the motor for local development. Small projects do have the potential to produce valuable information, whereas large projects may not, but can on occasions become bogged down in organisational detail. 2. 4. is fully The ESC supports moves to ensure Equal integrated with other EU programmes (paragraph 8) within and beyond the employment field, and would wish to see the same principle extended to Equal’s integration with national and regional policies as well. 2. General Comments 2. 1. The ESC welcomes the commitment to integrate Equal within the overall European Employment Strategy and agree that innovative action in a trans-national context has much to offer. There is a need to ensure that gender equality issues 2. 5. (paragraph 9) are taken into account the implementation of Equal, as well as other equality issues (ethnicity, age, disability etc. ) also being treated as ‘horizontal’ concerns. Consideration could be given to some thematic fields which pick up on particular discrimination issues (in the same way as gender is expected to be a specific as well as throughout 15. 3. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 75/17 horizontal theme), particularly in relation to disability. Dis- ability issues have greatly benefited from the Horizon pro- gramme, and may become marginalised if treated purely as a horizontal consideration. 2. 6. The ESC understands that the thematic fields put forward are indicative at this point (paragraph 9). However, those currently proposed do not cover the full range of areas which should be covered, and in particular do not adequately represent those currently covered by Adapt. The final thematic areas should be more detailed with better explanations of what is meant — vague definitions in previous programmes have led to confusion and inefficiency. 2. 7. The process of periodic review of themes (paragraph 11) should be designed in such a way that it can be integrated smoothly with programme implementation, without imposing delays or confusion. 2. 8. The Development Partnership models (paragraph 12) should be feasible in all Member States. The importance of their plans being strategic and integrated with other pro- grammes and policies is critical and will require a more sophisticated approach to the messages which potential bid- ders are given, and to the selection process itself. It will also require thorough information about local/regional/national priorities, which will be an additional requirement for Member State level technical assistance. The Committee has taken note of the joint action of 2. 9. 29 April 1999 whereby the Council recognised the desirability of helping asylum seekers who faced repatriation with edu- cation and training, which will give them skills useful in their home country (1). Member States should be encouraged by the Commission to ensure that action in respect of asylum seekers should be programmed in the Equal DPs. 2. 10. The ESC supports partnerships (with Phare, Tacis and Meda countries (paragraph 17). The rules and regulations governing relationships between Equal DPs and others outside the EU need to be revised and clarified to ensure that all parties are clear as to what to expect and what is possible. There should be reduction in the minimum partner numbers to one, and it is important that all Member States adopt the same policy towards trans-national requirements. This should be communicated clearly to all parties, which is not the case with the current initiatives. (1) Joint action of 26 April 1999 adopted by the Council on the basis of Article K. 3 of the Treaty on European Union, establishing projects and measures to provide practical support in relation to the reception and voluntary repatriation of refugees, displaced persons and asylum seekers, including emergency assistance to persons who have fled as a result of recent events in Kosovo — OJ L 114, 1. 5. 1999, p. 2; cf Article 5 ( c ). 3. Specific comments and recommendations 3. 1. II. Actions within Equal CIPs M o d e l s f o r t y p e s o f a c t i o n 3. 1. 1. In the model put forward where there are three separately identified phases to DP development (paragraph 21), the stages should operate as seamlessly as possible, without unnecessary bureaucracy or delay in the transition from one to another. S e t t i n g u p d e v e l o p m e n t p a r t n e r s h i p s 3. 1. 2. It is essential that during the limited development phase (paragraph 25), information on thematic priority, state is available, and that the exact of the labour market etc. requirements are spelt out clearly to potential applicants. Links with the previous initiatives will also be important, and will require additional dissemination work to ensure that information is available. Connections should also be made with other programmes, in particular Leonardo. This should not mean, however, that only promoters with prior Adapt and Employment experience should (implicitly or explicitly) be selected. S e l e c t i o n g u i d e l i n e s f o r i m p l e m e n t i n g C I P s 3. 1. 3. The criteria set out in paragraph 26 will need to be information particularly in supplemented with additional relation to targeting, evaluation, dissemination and main- streaming. These elements are so crucial that partnerships should clearly demonstrate their commitment to them from the very beginning. for Equal T h e d e v e l o p m e n t p a r t n e r s h i p a g r e e m e n t The Development Partnership agreement will be a 3. 1. 4. crucial document. Comprehensive guidance should be given to partnerships on what it should contain, and how it should be used throughout the life of the partnership. T r a n s - n a t i o n a l c o - o p e r a t i o n 3. 1. 5. Flexibility in the types of trans-national partnerships should be encouraged. Some should be full partnerships with others following the same theme over the life of the project. Consideration should be given to some information-sharing and possibly joint decision-making between Member States where trans-national partnerships are in place before appli- cations are made. 3. 1. 6. All Member States should take the same approach to trans-national working, so that conflicting policies do not apply to partners; this has caused considerable problems in the current Employment and Adapt programmes. C 75/18 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 15. 3. 2000 R e q u i r e m e n t t o d e m o n s t r a t e c o - f u n d i n g 3. 2. III. Actions at European level 3. 1. 7. Demonstration of available co-funding (paragraph 33) should be reviewed. Current rules governing the source of co-funding, and audit requirements for its demonstration (particularly in relation to SMEs) have been seriously damaging to the operation of many projects and directly contradict the objectives of the Community Initiatives. A p p l i c a t i o n o f E S F r u l e s Consideration should be given to reducing the 3. 1. 8. administrative burden, simplifying procedures and language, which arises from the application of ESF rules (which are essentially modelled on single year projects), by changing to multi-annual projects. Not only should it be possible to extend project timetables, but longer periods should also be considered from the start. Extensions may not be agreed until late on in project lifetimes, and may be associated with considerable additional administration. There would be merit in allowing some projects up to 5-6 years life, so as to be able to demonstrate results over a period of time. This is essential if the lasting benefits of pilot actions are to be observed. M e c h a n i s m s l e v e l t o c r e a t e a n i m p a c t a t U n i o n The ESC supports the proposed actions of a thematic 3. 2. 1. review at Union level, periodic assessment of the value added by Equal to the NAP but considers a creation of new discussion fora over and above those which already exist is a duplication of effort. It will be important to pay more attention to the messages to be delivered, and the audiences, which should receive them; it is all too easy in this environment to start with the medium and not the message. 3. 2. 2. The roles and responsibilities of the technical assist- ance office (paragraph 47) should be clearly specified and communicated to all other parties at an early stage, and its relationship to Member State Technical Assistance clarified. 3. 3. IV. Programme preparation P r o p o s e d c o n t e n t s o f a C I P The implications of increased flexibility of ESF regulations (paragraph 36) need to be thoroughly considered and very clear messages given to promoters (particularly in relation to eligibility). ESF’s impact as a whole on the Initiatives should be considered, since many of its governing provisions are out of step with pilot, trans-national action, and act against the spirit of the programme and its ability to deliver. The CIP should include, in addition to the items 3. 3. 1. outlined in paragraph 49, a detailed review of the relationship between Equal and the implementation of other EU and national programmes, and also outline measures to be taken to ensure that they work together harmoniously. Member States should consider steps they could take which would reduce overlap and conflicting priorities, and achieve maximum synergy in implementation. D i s s e m i n a t i o n o f g o o d p r a c t i c e a n d m a i n - s t r e a m i n g o f a c t i v i t i e s 3. 1. 9. The stronger focus on dissemination (paragraph 37) and increased emphasis on mainstreaming into EU and national programmes are welcomed. Links with national policy should be particularly strongly encouraged, and thought given to appropriate operational and monitoring structures to ensure that this happens. Funding for additional dissemination and mainstreaming (paragraph 38) is a good development, but the decision-making procedure to make this happen should be streamlined and efficient. T e c h n i c a l a s s i s t a n c e 3. 1. 10. Technical assistance is vital for the effective and efficient running of the programme (paragraphs 40-42). The ESC believes it should be funded at 100 % (as for the EU level technical assistance office. ) P r o p o s e d f i n a n c i a l f r a m e w o r k f o r a C I P 3. 3. 2. The financial framework put forward (paragraph 50) should be simpler than that currently used, in order to avoid lengthy and counter-productive subsequent modifications to the programme. 3. 3. 3. Intervention rates for DPs should be reviewed and consideration given to higher rates for highly experimental projects. An alternative would be sliding rates over time to allow projects to get started with ESF resources, and move into required co-funding proportions later. This would also test more accurately the sustainability, and thus mainstreaming potential, of project operations. 3. 3. 4. Monitoring and evaluation arrangements should be reviewed (paragraph 51). They should ensure that ESF type statistical data is modified to include qualitative data which take innovation and piloting into account. Also, DPs should be given much firmer guidance on what type of evaluation they should carry out themselves, with the inclusion of some common items to facilitate comparisons. 15. 3. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 75/19 3. 3. 5. The audit process should also be reviewed, with stronger emphasis on accurate and stringent information from the beginning, and use of common systems, rather than the evolutionary ‘case by case’ approach which pertains at present. T i m e t a b l e f o r s u b m i s s i o n a n d a g r e e m e n t o f C I P p l a n s 3. 3. 6. The timetables for submission and agreement of plans (paragraph 53), (as indeed for all stages) should be reviewed in the light of what is actually likely to happen, and this should be taken into account in the programme. Current programmes all too often work to fictitious timetables, which all parties know will not be met in practice. This undermines the effectiveness of programmes, and their reputation. M o n i t o r i n g a n d e v a l u a t i o n o f n a t i o n a l p r o - g r a m m e s The role of monitoring committees should be 3. 3. 7. strengthened (paragraph 55), with more structures in place to ensure good quality attendance and the forming of effective links with other key bodies. As mentioned above, programme level monitoring 3. 3. 8. (paragraph 56) should be reviewed and made more appropriate to the innovative and trans-national nature of the programme, with the inclusion of measures of ‘soft’ outcomes and learning, not just crude output measures. 3. 3. 9. The timetable for programme evaluation (at both MS and EU level) should ensure that information is available to influence future developments, and does not come too early or too late. Brussels, 26 January 2000. The President of the Economic and Social Committee Beatrice RANGONI MACHIAVELLI Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a European Parliament and Council Regulation clarifying Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 as concerns principles for recording taxes and social contributions’ (2000/C 75/08) On 14 January 2000 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Article 262 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal. The Economic and Social Committee decided to appoint Mr Vasco Cal as rapporteur-general for this opinion. At its 369th plenary session of 26 and 27 January 2000 (meeting of 26 January), the Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 79 votes in favour with 3 abstentions. 1. Introduction 1. 2. In this connection, some Member States declare taxes and contributions which are actually due (according to assess- ments and declarations), including amounts which will never be collected, i. e. taxes unpaid because of insolvency, bank- ruptcy etc. Other Member States declare actual cash receipts, which arrive much later. 1. 1. The European System of Accounts (ESA) determines Member States’ general government net borrowing, i. e. govern- ment deficit. This is a key factor in connection with the protocol on the excessive deficit procedure which, in turn, governs the stability and growth pact. The protocol requires that the government deficit of each Member State can be calculated quickly. The figures must also be transparent and comparable. The Commission thus proposes that ‘taxes and social 1. 3. contributions recorded in the system (should) not include amounts unlikely to be collected’ and that, ‘accordingly, taxes
