Council statement on prophylaxis and the inspection of animal foodstuffs and foodstuffs of animal origin

"The Member States undertake to treat nationals of the other Member States as their own nationals with regard to activities in the field of prophylaxis and, therefore, to refrain from invoking the first paragraph of Article 55, provided that such activities are covered by these provisions, in so far as these tasks are assigned to nationals pursuing activities as self-employed or employed veterinary surgeons.

In addition, noting that in the Member States veterinary surgeons who are nationals of a Member State may be authorized by their national authorities to pursue activities in the field of inspection of animal foodstuffs and foodstuffs of animal origin in addition to their other activities, the Member States also undertake in this connection to treat veterinary surgeons who are nationals of the other Member States as their own veterinary surgeons, and consequently to refrain from invoking the first paragraph of Article 55 of the Treaty for the purpose of applying different types of treatment.

By the same token, the Member States also undertake not to invoke Article 48 (4) where self-employed veterinary surgeons thus authorized are regarded as being employed in the public service within the meaning of that Article.

The Member States may, however, make the right to take up these activities conditional upon attendance at an interview in which the veterinary surgeon must prove to the competent authority that he has acquainted himself with the legal provisions applying in the host country in the matter."

Decision No 132

of 23 April 1987

concerning the interpretation of Article 40 (3) (a) (ii) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971

(87/C 271/03)

THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS,

Having regard to Article 81 (a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 under which it is made responsible for dealing with all administrative questions and questions of interpretation arising from the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and subsequent Regulations;

Having regard to Article 40 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 relating to the general provisions governing invalidity benefits for employed and self-employed persons subject either exclusively to legislations under which the amount of invalidity benefit is dependent upon the length of insurance periods or residence periods or to legislations of this type and legislations under which the amount of invalidity benefit is not dependent on the length of insurance periods;

Whereas for the determination of the right to invalidity benefit under the legislation of a Member State making the grant of these benefits conditional upon the person concerned having received cash sickness benefit or been unfit for work for a specific period, the competent institutions of this Member State are bound under Article 40 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 to regard this condition as being fulfilled where a worker has during the corresponding period received "invalidity benefits" under the legislation of another Member State;

Whereas a literal interpretation of the words "invalidity benefits" appearing in Article 40 (3) (a) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 may lead to the exclusion of other benefits that are not called invalidity benefits, such as, in particular, flexible or anticipatory retirement pensions, even though the latter are granted to a person who is an invalid, which would be counter to the intention of the drafters of this Article;

Whereas the term "invalidity benefits" appearing in Article 40 (3) (a) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 should be understood as meaning "all benefits within the meaning of Chapters 2 and 3 of Title III of the said Regulation granted to a person who is an invalid".

Acting in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 80 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The words "invalidity benefits" appearing in Article 40 (3) (a) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 refer to all benefits, within the meaning of Chapters 2 and 3 of Title III of the said Regulation, granted to a person who is an invalid.

2. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall be applicable from the 20th day following its publication.

RESOLUTION OF THE ECSC CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE on the implementation of an 11th ECSC social housing programme (Adopted unanimously at the 273rd Session held on 4 October 1988) (88/C 277/08)

THE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE, in view of the fact that the 10th 'ECSC social housing' programme expires on 31 December 1988, and the selective allocation of low-interest loans for ECSC housing construction, as one of the measures accompanying the restructuring of the coal-mining and steel industries, helps to alleviate the social effects thereof,

1. CALLS UPON THE COMMISSION to ensure the continuity of social policy for workers in the ECSC industries also in the field of housing construction by continuing the ECSC programme for the construction of social housing;

2. STRESSES that a programme lasting several years aimed at meeting the housing requirements of an increasingly younger workforce is indispensable in order to ensure a reasonable standard of living for workers and to allow restructuring measures to become socially more tolerable,

3. THEREFORE ASKS THE COMMISSION to come to a decision on the continued application of the housing construction measures in the form of an 11th 'ECSC social housing' programme as soon as possible, i.e. before the 10th programme expires.

4. SUGGESTS that the Commission revise the conditions for obtaining a loan by making these more flexible.

In this connexion consideration should be given as to whether, by increasing the ECSC loan amount in conjunction with the granting of other low-interest funds, a 100 % financing of 'social housing' could be achieved.

make a significant contribution to the project. The 
contracting parties shall bear a substantial part of the 
costs, up to 50 % of which shall, as a rule, be borne 
by the Community. Alternatively, in respect of 
universities and similar organizations carrying out 
projects, the Community may, within the abovemen-
tioned limits of its financial contribution, bear up to 
100 % of the additional expenditure involved. 
(b) Between 7 and 10 % of the budget will be 
implemented by cost shared contracts for focused 
fundamental research in areas where industrial 
progress is hindered by weakness in basic science. 
Focused fundamental research projects shall involve 
at least two partners established in different Member 
States. To ensure a true industrial focus for this 
activity, which need not include an industrial 
partner, there will be a requirement for industrial 
endorsement by nominated individuals from industry. 
When the partners are universities or similar institutions, the Community could bear up to 100 % 
of marginal costs. Projects in the range of ECU 
400 000 to ECU 1 million must cover at least 10 
man-years of activity. 
(c) A small proportion of the total programme budget 
will be spent on coordinated activities.
