COUNCIL DECISION

of 23 February 1982

with regard to a contribution to the European Coal and Steel Community out of the general budget of the European Communities

(82/164/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas difficulties currently facing the Community's iron and steel industry have made it necessary to adopt a programme for the restructuring of this sector under the terms of the ECSC Treaty;

Whereas this programme consists of a series of measures to rationalize production and raise the productivity of the sector to the level where it can compete on the world market, in accordance with the general objectives concerning steel within the meaning of Article 46 of the ECSC Treaty;

Whereas this series of restructuring measures necessarily includes a social policy section to alleviate the effects on employment; whereas, in this connection, it is advisable to have recourse to the full range of re-adaptation aids provided for workers in the industry in question by Article 56 (2) of the ECSC Treaty;

Whereas, in its resolution of 26 and 27 March 1981 on steel recovery policy, the Council re-emphasised the desirability of taking such measures;

Whereas, in the present circumstances, the financial means provided for by the ECSC Treaty do not provide adequate cover for financing these measures;

Whereas the secondary effects of this situation, if not remedied, would be liable to aggravate considerably the Community's general employment situation and to impair the harmonious development of economic activities, and this would undermine the achievement of one of the Community's main objectives;

Whereas the Commission has submitted a request for an exceptional temporary contribution from the general budget to allow the Commission to implement successfully the social measures under the restructuring programme for the steel industry and to cope with the consequences of the introduction of a system of production quotas; whereas a contribution should be made to the ECSC from the general budget of the Communities,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

A contribution of 62 million ECU for 1981 is hereby granted to the European Coal and Steel Community out of the general budget of the European Communities in order to cover the Community's financing of

the special temporary allowances in favour of workers in iron and steel firms and iron-ore mines in the Community, whose posts are directly or indirectly abolished or threatened in consequence of a restructuring plan adopted by the undertaking, the group of undertakings or the public authorities in accordance with 'General Objectives - Steel'.

Article 1

Denmark shall not send to other Member States live bovine animals and swine coming from the island of Funen.

Article 2

Denmark shall not send to other Member States fresh meat of bovine animals, swine or sheep and goats, or meat-based products coming from the island of Funen other than products having undergone one of the treatments provided for in Article 4 (1) of Directive 80/215/EEC.

Article 3

Denmark shall not lift the measures laid down in Articles 1 and 2 until 14 days after the elimination of the last outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. The period which precedes the lifting of measures shall be prolonged by 14 days in the protection zone of 10 kilometres around outbreaks established by the Danish authorities.

Article 4

Member States shall withdraw the measures applied on import.

Article 5

The Commission shall follow the development of the situation and may amend this Decision in the light of such development.
