COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 21 December 1994 on the application of Euratom safeguards in Spain (Only the Spanish text is authentic) (94/956/Euratom)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 83 (3) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 78 of the Treaty, anyone setting up or operating an installation for the production, separation or other use of source materials or special fissile materials or for the processing of irradiated nuclear fuels should declare to the Commission the basic technical characteristics of the installations, to the extent that knowledge of these characteristics is necessary for the attainment of the objectives of Euratom safeguards as set out in Article 77;

Whereas in June 1994 Spain made the Commission aware of the existence of a nuclear installation in Spain located at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (hereinafter referred to as 'ETSII') which, since 1972, had consisted of a subcritical assembly with an associated stock of 3 622 kg of natural uranium;

Whereas this installation was not declared to the Commission upon Spain's accession to the European Communities on 1 January 1986 nor thereafter until its existence was made known in June 1994;

Whereas by Commission Decision 94/955/Euratom, of 21 December 1994, relating to a procedure pursuant to Article 83 of the Euratom Treaty (1), a warning has been imposed on ETSII as a sanction for the non-declaration of the installation;

Whereas the investigation carried out by the Commission revealed that during the period between January 1986 and June 1994 the installation had been known to the responsible national authorities, who had also issued the operating licence;

Whereas by virtue of the Treaty, Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising out of it, and in particular to ensure compliance in their territories with the obligations arising under Title Two, Chapter VII;

Whereas in those circumstances, it is necessary to ensure that all nuclear installations on the territory of Spain are declared to the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

1. Spain should adopt all necessary measures to ensure that all installations in Spain for the production, separation or other use of source materials or special fissile materials or for the processing of irradiated nuclear fuels are declared to the Commission according to the provisions of the Treaty.

2. Spain should inform the Commission of the results of the measures undertaken within a period of three months.

This recommendation is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 27 May 1998 on the ratification of ILO Convention No 177 on home work of 20 June 1996 (notified under document number C(1998) 764) (98/370/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the second indent of Article 155 thereof,

Whereas ILO Convention No 177 on home work of 20 June 1996, as supplemented by a recommendation adopted on the same day, provides a framework for protecting homeworkers;

Whereas that Convention requires countries which ratify it to adopt, implement and periodically review a national policy on home work aiming at improving the situation of homeworkers;

Whereas the Convention also expressly states that the national policy on home work should promote, as far as possible, equality of treatment;

Whereas the aims pursued by the Convention meet the objectives of the Commission as expressed in its medium-term social action programme (1995 to 1997);

Whereas the aims pursued by the Convention help to promote the objective of striking a balance between flexibility of the labour market and security of the employees;

Whereas the second indent of the first paragraph of Article 118 of the Treaty gives the Commission the task of promoting close cooperation between Member States in the social field, particularly in matters relating to labour law and working conditions;

Whereas the Community Charter of the Fundamental Social Rights of Workers states (point 10) that 'Every worker of the European Community shall have a right to adequate social protection and shall, whatever his status and whatever the size of the undertaking in which he is employed enjoy an adequate level of social security benefits`;

Whereas 6,9 million people in the Community usually perform their work at home, which at Community level is equivalent to 4,9 % of the working population;

Whereas the particular vulnerability of homeworkers and the need to provide them with appropriate protection are acknowledged;

Whereas the nature of home work is evolving rapidly with the introduction of new information technologies, making the need for appropriate protection even more necessary;

Whereas most homeworkers are women; whereas they choose homeworking as a way to combine earning a wage needed for the household with taking care of dependants, most commonly young children; whereas this choice made by women is often a result of external factors such as limited job opportunities or lack of childcare or other supporting facilities,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

- that Member States which have not yet done so ratify the ILO home work Convention, adopted on 20 June 1996,

- that Member States inform the Commission, within a period of 18 months from publication of this recommendation, of the steps taken pursuant to it.

Commission Recommendation

of 22 February 2002

amending Recommendation 98/195/EC, as last amended by Recommendation 2000/263/EC, on Interconnection in a liberalised telecommunications market

(Part 1 - Interconnection pricing)

(notified under document number C(2002) 561)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2002/175/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 97/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1997 on interconnection in telecommunications with regard to ensuring universal service and interoperability through application of the principles of Open Network Provision (ONP)(1), as amended by Directive 98/61/EC(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,

After consulting the advisory committee set up by Article 9(1) of Council Directive 90/387/EEC of 28 June 1990 on the establishment of the internal market for telecommunications services through the implementation of open network provision(3), as amended by Directive 97/51/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(4),

Whereas:

In particular it was also indicated in the Recommendation that an assessment should be made on the need to continue with publication of "best current practice" charges.

(2) The sixth and seventh Commission reports on the implementation of the telecommunications regulatory package(7) note the progressive reduction of interconnection charges in the Community to the levels published by the Commission's best practice price recommendations(8), and the increasing availability of cost accounting systems for operators with obligations to interconnect, and therefore, from 1 January 2002 onwards it is considered no longer necessary to refer to the "best current practice" approach and update of price recommendation as originally included in Recommendation 98/195/EC.

(3) Other elements of the Recommendation continue to provide guidance to national regulatory authorities and should be retained,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

Article 1

Recommendation 98/195/EC, as last amended by Recommendation 2000/263/EC, is amended as follows:

Points 4, 4a, 5 and 9 of the Recommendation together with Annex II are deleted.
