No C 197/4 Official Journal of the European Communities 6.8.86 
STATE AID 
(Articles 92 to 94 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community) 
Communication made in accordance with Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty to parties concerned 
other than Member States concerning Circular No 21/85 of the Italian Minister for Agri­
culture. The Circular provides in particular for the grant of premiums on exports to non-
member countries amounting to: 
— Lit 100 000 per 100 kg of bone-in meat; 
— Lit 130 000 per 100 kg of boneless meat; 
— Lit 500 000 per heifer or dairy cow less than five years old exported live instead of being 
slaughtered. 
(86/C 197/05) 
The Commission has initiated the procedure laid down in Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty in 
respect of the premiums. 
On the basis of the information in its possession, the Commission considers that the measures 
are not compatible with the common market in accordance with Article 92 (1) of the EEC 
Treaty and therefore do not qualify for an exception under Article 93 (2) or (3) of the Treaty. 
The Commission draws attention to its Communication published in Official Journal of the 
European Communities No C 318 of 24 November 1983 and points out that the initiation of 
that procedure has a suspensory effect to that the abovementioned draft measure may not be 
implemented unless and before the Commission approves it. The Commission also stresses that 
any aid granted before a final decision is taken under the said procedure would be illegal and 
may result in a request for repayment. 
The Commission hereby gives notice to interested parties other than Member States to submit 
their comments on the abovementioned draft measure within four weeks from the date of this 
Communication, to the following address: 
Commission of the European Communities, 
200, rue de la Loi, 
B-1049 Brussels. 
Commission communication pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty 
(86/C 197/06) 
By Decision dated 1 August 1986 the Commission has authorized the Italian Republic not to 
apply Community treatment to woven fabrics of silk, falling within subheading, 50.09 A of the 
Common Customs Tariff originating in the People's Republic of China and in free circulation 
in the other Member States. 
The said Decision is applicable after the date of the present Decision until 31 December 1986.
COUNCIL RESOLUTIONof 24 November 1986on the signature by the Member States of the European Convention for the protection of vertebrate animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes(86/C 331/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Whereas a European Convention for the protection of vertebrate animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes was adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 31 May 1985; Whereas the European Convention for the protection of vertebrate animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes is open to signature by the Member States and by the Community in the exercise of their respective powers; Whereas the Council has decided that the Community should sign the said Convention; Whereas it is important that the convention should also be signed by the Member States as soon as possible; Whereas certain Member States have already signed the said Convention, REQUESTS those Member States who have not yet signed the European Convention for the protection of vertebrate animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes to do so at the earliest possible date.
RESOLUTION OF THE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE on the restructuring of the steel industry and the organization of the steel market (87/C 154/02) (adopted by written procedure on 27 May 1987 following the 262nd session of 15 May 1987 by 55 votes for, 2 votes against and 5 absentions)

THE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE,

HAVING: - examined the proposals submitted by the Commission to the Council,

- taken note of the discussions of the Council on 19 March 1987,

- recalled the terms of the resolution it adopted at its 259th session of 17 October 1986,

- taken note of the preliminary proposals on restructuring submitted by 36 steel companies which represent 88 % of Community steel production capacity,

- heard the explanations of Mr Narjes, the Vice-President of the Commission, at its extraordinary session held on 15 May 1987,

1. notes that the restructuring proposals submitted by the producers to the Commission show willingness to tackle the overcapacity problem, even if they are still insufficient due in particular to political differences and to difficulties in financing the necessary social measures, which are problems that the companies cannot solve themselves;

2. therefore urges the Commission to take the initiative to promote further restructuring and to this end to put its full political weight into negotiations with the governments and all concerned;

3. is of the opinion that this situation and the prevailing market conditions require the continuation of the market regime for a further limited and well defined period and that guarantees be given for the maintenance of an appropriate quota system for as long as the new process of restructuring requires it;

4. asks the Commission to establish in conjunction with the industry a revised quota regime for this next period, which on the one hand, will be more global and effective than the present one and, on the other hand, avoids the many uncertainties which the existing system has been shown to give rise to;

5. points out that it is an absolute condition both for a successful restructuring process and for gradual liberalization that the aids code prohibiting national or regional subsidies is strictly adhered to. To this end the Commission should in general see that companies seeking the protection of bankruptcy regulations are not able to abuse them to acquire competitive advantage;

6. points out that the successful implementation of the restructuring process depends on suitable measures being taken to reduce the pressure of unfair imports from third countries;

7. welcomes the Council's acknowledgment of the need for social protection for the workers who will lose their jobs and for a special financing scheme and invites it to set up this scheme as soon as possible. It requests the Commission to submit without delay concrete proposals on both the level of the contributions and the method of funding;

8. draws to the attention of the Commission the fact that it is of vital importance that the aid for financing the social measures should be granted on at least an identical basis to what was the case prior to 1985.
Resolution of the ECSC Consultative Committee concerning the proposal to amend the 1988 ECSC budget (adopted unanimously at the 272nd Session held on 20 and 21 June 1988, with one abstention) (88/C 198/04)

THE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE,

- after having taken note of the proposal to amend the 1988 ECSC budget presented by the Commission,

- after having noted that the Commission plans to finance complementary social measures by an increase of the levy on ECSC products and by making a part of the customs duties on ECSC products available to the ECSC, in 1989 and 1990,

1. confirms its Resolution adopted unanimously at the 267th meeting on 18 December 1987 asking for the social measures to be maintained as a whole and affirming categorically its opposition to an increase in the levy;

2. stresses once more that within the framework of the Community finances the ECSC levy has to be considered as an anomaly all the more so as this levy is not collected on those ECSC products which are imported;

3. recalls that at its meeting on 22 December 1987 the Council declared itself in favour of the transfer of customs duties on ECSC products;

4. considers a measure imposing further charges on the steel and coal industries totally inappropriate while their structural situation continues to be difficult;

5. requests, in consequence, that the transfer of customs duties on ECSC products be high enough to meet the overall requirements of the complementary social measures and that the transitional measures for 1988 be taken in the same spirit.
COUNCIL CONCLUSIONS of 29 September 1989 on a European card for provision of immediate care (89/C 277/03)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas it is important to promote freedom of movement for insured persons by any means capable of simplifying their everyday life when travelling within the Community;

Whereas, to this end, access to the benefits offered by Community provisions on social security should be made easier;

Whereas this objective could be attained, in particular by establishing a harmonized European social insurance card, using media that may change in line with modern administrative techniques;

Whereas in 1983 the Commission considered simplification of the procedures required for provision of health care during a stay abroad;

Whereas, as the first stage, access to treatment required during temporary stays in a Member State other than the competent State could be improved and simplified forthwith by taking existing national social insurance cards into account, 1. REQUESTS the Commission, with the long-term aim of establishing a European card for provision of immediate care, to conduct a survey initially of procedures whereby Member States could recognize national social insurance cards issued by other Member States.

This should enable cardholders staying temporarily in a Member State other than the competent Member State to have access, on the terms laid down by Article 22 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, to urgently needed treatment, on presentation of their national insurance card or form E 111;

2. IS in favour, as of now, of any experiments in mutual recognition of national social insurance cards that Member States may engage in.

Annual updating of thresholds 
In a previous communication (') the Commission has already described its method for the 
application of Article 92 (3) (c) to national regional aid. The method makes use of threshold 
indices for assessing the socio-economic situation of a region which are updated annually to 
reflect changes in the Member State's position with respect to income and structural unem­
ployment compared to the Community average. The Commission has decided to update the 
previous thresholds (2) as follows:
