COUNCIL DECISION
of 16 May 1988
on the conclusion of the European Convention for the Protection of Animals for Slaughter
(88/306/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the Council adopted Directive 74/577/EEC on the stunning of animals before slaughter (4), Directive 64/433/EEC on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (5), as last amended by Directive 86/587/EEC (6), and in particular Annex I, Chapter I, point 13 (a) thereto, and Directive 71/118/EEC on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultrymeat (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (8), and in particular Annex I, Chapter IV, point 20 thereto;
Whereas the European Convention for the Protection of Animals for Slaughter, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Convention’, was drawn up within the Council of Europe to protect animals for slaughter; whereas Article 20 of the Convention provides that it may be signed by the Member States of the Council of Europe and by the European Economic Community;
Whereas the provisions of the Convention are in accordance with Directives 74/577/EEC, 64/433/EEC, and 71/118/EEC; whereas the scope of the Convention is however wider;
Whereas national laws concerning the protection of animals for slaughter have an impact on the conditions of competition and accordingly on the operation of the common market in agricultural products;

Article 2

Council Decision
of 17 November 2003
relating to the conclusion on behalf of the European Community of Council of Europe Convention No 180 on information and legal cooperation on information society services
(2003/840/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 in conjunction with Article 300(2), first subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council of Europe Convention No 180 on information and legal cooperation on information society services (Convention) sets up an international system of prior notification and administrative cooperation specifically aimed at information society services.
(2) As information society services are provided at a distance, by electronic means and at the individual request of a recipient of services (according to the definition set out in Article 2 of the Convention) they are services which are provided without requiring physical travel by either the service provider or the recipient. For this reason, they are subject to the common commercial policy and fall under the exclusive competence of the European Community, pursuant to Opinion 1/94 of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, regarding the World Trade Organisation(1).
(3) Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services(2), operational since 1999, has been an extremely positive experience as a mechanism for prior information and administrative dialogue in the field of on-line services.
(4) A similar international mechanism should be quickly established within the Council of Europe, in which it is in the Community's direct interest to participate. Such a mechanism would allow it to be regularly informed about regulatory initiatives being prepared in other countries and then, if appropriate, to express its observations on drafts which could have grave legal and economic implications in the context of on-line activities.
(5) In practice, such participation would be based on the operational mechanism set up in 1983 by Directive 83/189/EEC, later repealed and replaced by Directive 98/34/EC, and would, in particular, avoid any additional notification burden on Member States over and above that already incumbent on them by virtue of Directive 98/34/EC.
(6) The Convention should be approved,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Council of Europe Convention No 180 on information and legal cooperation on information society services is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Convention is annexed to this Decision(3).
Article 2
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to sign the Convention in order to bind the Community.
Article 3
This Decision will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
