COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION No 4/96/ECSC of 21 November 1995 amending recommendation No 3118/94/ECSC and repealing recommendation No 73/95/ECSC

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 74 thereof,

Whereas pending the conclusion and entry into force of the agreements with Russia and Ukraine on trade in certain steel products covered by the European Coal and Steel Treaty, the requirement for an export licence for imports covered by those agreements was established by Commission recommendation No 73/95/ECSC (1);

Whereas with the entry into force of those agreements (2), together with the introduction of a requirement for a Community import licence in accordance with the rules set out in Commission Decision No 3/96/ECSC (3), it is necessary to repeal recommendation No 73/95/ECSC and, in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of procedures, to amend recommendation No 3118/94ECSC (4), as last amended by recommendation No 393/95/ECSC (5), so as to remove the requirement for surveillance documents in respect of the products originating in Russia and Ukraine which are covered by the agreements,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

Article 1

Recommendation No 73/95/ECSC is repealed.

Article 2

Article 1 (1) of recommendation No 3118/94/ECSC shall no longer apply in respect of the release for free circulation into the Community of those steel products covered by the ECSC Treaty originating in Russia and Ukraine which are the subject of the agreements between the European Coal and Steel Community and those countries and for which a Community import licence is required in accordance with the provisions of Decision No 3/96/ECSC.

Article 3

This recommendation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This recommendation shall apply from 1 January 1996.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 6 February 1974 to the Member States concerning the application of the Council Directive of 24 April 1972 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the use of motor vehicles, and to the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability (74/165/EEC)

1. By virtue of Article 7 (1) of the Council Directive (1) of 24 April 1972 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the use of motor vehicles and to the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability, as amended by the Council Directive (2) of 19 December 1972, any vehicle normally based in the territory of a third country must be provided either with a valid green card or with a certificate of frontier insurance valid for the whole of the territory of the Community before entering that territory;

2. Now in the Member States practice differs as to the duration of contracts of insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles in the form of frontier insurance ; it is necessary to render uniform the practice followed in the Member States as to the minimum duration of frontier insurance so as to prevent abuse, after the removal of checks at intra-Community frontiers on insurance against civil liability in respect of motor vehicles, of frontier insurance by vehicles from third countries no longer covered, after their entry into a Member State, by insurance against civil liability valid in other Member States.

3. For these reasons, and by virtue of Article 155 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, the Commission recommends that the Member States ensure that contracts of insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles concluded in the form of frontier insurance shall, not later than 15 May 1974, have a minimum duration of 15 days.

Council Recommendation

of 25 July 1983

on the ratification of or accession to the 1979 International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR)

(83/419/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas on 27 April 1979 an International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue was approved in Hamburg under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO);

Whereas, in view of the great importance of the said Convention with regard to the search for and rescue of persons in distress at sea, the Convention should enter into force as soon as possible;

Whereas ratification or accession by all the Member States will not only help to bring the Convention into force in accordance with the principles of international law but will also ensure a unified search and rescue service in the coastal waters of the Community and thereby increase the effectiveness of the Convention,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

that inasmuch as they have not already done so, the Member States ratify or accede to the 1979 International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue as soon as they can.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 20 December 1984

concerning a European Agreement on au pair placement sponsored by the Council of Europe

(85/64/EEC)

I

1. Ever-increasing numbers of young people are travelling abroad to work 'au pair', thereby contributing towards international understanding through the acquisition of knowledge of other languages and cultures.

2. There are considerable differences between Community Member States as regards the degree of protection afforded to persons using the au pair placement system; this gives rise to various problems due to lack of adequate information for those concerned (persons placed au pair and host families) and lack of specific uniform provisions.

3. The alignment of national measures in respect of persons placed au pair would improve the living and working conditions, education and reception of such persons, thus putting into effect the general aims of the Treaty to promote close cooperation between Member States in the social field.

4. Persons placed au pair constitute a special category which has features of both the worker and student categories. It is therefore appropriate to adopt special provisions in their regard.

The Commission of the European Communities has taken note of the European Agreement on au pair placement sponsored by the Council of Europe. The Commission believes that this Agreement provides a suitable vehicle for introducing, at European level, a specific status for persons placed au pair and laying down rules governing living and working conditions, education, social security and the rights and duties of the host family, in addition to setting up national consultation and information facilities.

II

Accordingly, and pursuant to the second indent of Article 155 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, the Commission, bearing in mind that Article 118 of the Treaty entrusts the Commission with the task of promoting close cooperation between Member States in the social field, particularly in matters relating to labour law and working conditions, recommends that the Member States sign and ratify as soon as possible, in so far as they have not already done so, the European Agreement on au pair of the Council of Europe.

The Member States will inform the Commission as soon as possible of steps taken in conformity with this recommendation.

Done at Brussels, 20 December 1984.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 6 May 1986

addressed to the Member States concerning the coordination of national measures taken in respect of agricultural products as a result of radioactive fallout from the Soviet Union

(86/156/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 155 thereof,

Whereas, following the accident at the nuclear power plant at Chernobyl in the Soviet Union, radioactive elements were dispersed in the atmosphere and fallout was recorded in the Community;

Whereas, out of a legitimate concern to protect the health of consumers, Member States have adopted national measures to restrict or prohibit the marketing of certain agricultural products;

Whereas, as regards relations with the third countries affected, the Commission has presented the Council with a proposal to suspend imports of agricultural products which are liable to be contaminated and, in the case of meat, will take the necessary measures to that end;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to coordinate the measures taken by the Member States as regards marketing on their own markets, recommending them to observe strict limits applicable to the most sensitive products and to apply to the products which they export the same rules and controls as those applied in the case of marketing on their national markets;

Whereas the assurance thus given by the exporting Member State should enable the importing Member State to waive any other requirement on import and in particular any additional certificate, it being understood that no Member State will apply to products originating in another Member State stricter measures than those which it applies in respect of its own market,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS MEMBER STATES:

1. To ensure that the following maximum tolerances are observed in respect of marketing on their own market:

1.2,3 // // // From // Maximum activity (Bq/kg) // 1.2.3 // // Milk and milk products // Fruit and vegetables // // // // 6 May 1986 // 500 // 350 // 16 May 1986 // 250 // 175 // 26 May 1986 // 125 // 90 // // //

2. To subject products they export to the same limits and, generally speaking, to the same controls regarding radioactivity as those applying to their own market.

3. To recognize controls thus performed by the exporting Member State, doing away with any other requirements on import in this connection, in particular any additional certificates.

4. To inform the other Member States and the Commission without delay of the action taken in response to this recommendation.

Done at Brussels, 6 May 1986.
