of 3 April 2001

THE COURT,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 245 thereof,

Having regard to the Protocol on the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 55 thereof,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 160 thereof,

Whereas:

Where the Council or the Commission is not a party to a case, the Court is required to send to it copies of the application and of the defence, in order to enable it to assess whether the inapplicability of one of its acts is being invoked. Provision should be made for copies of those documents likewise to be sent to the European Parliament in order to enable it, where it is not a party to a case, to assess whether the inapplicability of an act adopted jointly by the European Parliament and by the Council is being invoked,

With the unanimous approval of the Council given on 12 March 2001,

HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT TO ITS RULES OF PROCEDURE:

Article 1

The following sentence shall be added to Article 16(7) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice of the European Communities of 19 June 1991(1): "Copies of the application and of the defence shall likewise be sent to the European Parliament, to enable it to assess whether the inapplicability of an act adopted jointly by that institution and by the Council is being invoked under Article 241 of the EC Treaty."

Article 2

This amendment to the Rules of Procedure, which is authentic in the languages mentioned in Article 29(1) of the said Rules, shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall enter into force on the first day of the second month following its publication.

Done at Luxembourg, 3 April 2001.

(1) OJ L 176, 4.7.1991, p. 1, with corrigendum in OJ L 383, 29.12.1992, p. 117, as amended on 21 February 1995 (OJ L 44, 28.2.1995, p. 61), 11 March 1997 (OJ L 103, 19.4.1997, p. 1), with corrigendum in OJ L 351, 23.12.1997, p. 72, 16 May 2000 (OJ L 122, 24.5.2000, p. 43) and 28 November 2000 (OJ L 322, 19.12.2000, p. 1).
12)

Article 41 shall be replaced by the following: ‘Article 41 1. Contracts for the purchase and hiring of buildings or goods, for the provision of services or for the performance of construction work shall be in writing. The Director or a person who as Authorising Officer could have issued a proposal for the underlying commitment shall sign them on behalf of Europol. 2. Apart from contracts relating to the purchase of a building already constructed or the leasing of a building, all such contracts shall be concluded after an invitation to tender has been issued. However, contracts may be made by private treaty in the following circumstances: (a) within the limit laid down by the implementing rules provided for in Article 57(2); (b) where the purchase or hiring of goods, the provision of services or building works are so urgently needed that it is not possible to wait for a tendering procedure to be carried out; (c) where the tendering procedures do not give any result or where the prices quoted are not acceptable; (d) where for technical, practical, security or legal reasons the supply of goods and services can be carried out only by a particular contractor or supplier; (e) for contracts for the supply of additional goods and services or for ancillary building works which, technically, cannot be separated from their main contract. In these cases offers must be asked from at least five different suppliers unless the amount is within the limit laid down by the implementing rules provided for in Article 57(2) and provided that there are a sufficient number of suitable suppliers. 3. Invitations to tender shall, as a general rule, be published in all the Member States and, where appropriate, in third countries insofar as this is compatible with the development of relevant industries within the European Union. However, their publication may be restricted where the scale or nature of the goods or services is such that they are not appropriate for a general invitation to tender. 4. The tendering procedures, award criteria and price adjustment procedures occurring after the conclusion of contracts shall be determined and governed by the implementing rules provided for in Article 57(2), given that the award criteria shall be defined by analogy with the provisions of the directives referred to in Article 44. 5. Contracts exceeding the limit laid down by the implementing rules provided for in Article 57(2) shall be subject to the authorisation of the Management Board.’

ADDENDUM

to Regulation (EC) No 1922/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing a European Institute for Gender Equality

(Official Journal of the European Union L 403 of 30 December 2006)

The following statement is added to the Regulation:

‘STATEMENT BY THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COMMISSION

Equality between men and women is a fundamental principle of the European Union. The Council, European Parliament and the European Commission aim to increase the awareness, the pooling of resources and the exchange of experience in the area of gender equality, in particular through the establishment of a European Institute for Gender Equality.

With regard to the organisation of the Institute, the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission state that the management structure, and in particular the number of representatives of the Member States on the Management Board, is determined by reference to the specific nature of the European Institute for Gender Equality and does not therefore constitute a precedent for other agencies in the future.

In order to ensure an orderly rotation of the members appointed by the Council, the Member States shall be divided into three groups of nine in the order of the forthcoming Presidencies. For the first term of office, the Council representatives shall be composed of members drawn from the first two groups of Member States; for the second term of office, the Council representatives shall be drawn from the third and first groups and for the third term of office from the second and third groups, and so on for subsequent terms of office (1). In the event of any future enlargement the rotation system will be adjusted accordingly.’
COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 9 December 1969

1. The Council invites the Commission to submit as soon as possible the proposals provided for in Article 4 of the First Council Directive of 11 April 1967 1 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States concerning turnover taxes.

2. With a view to the attainment of the objectives set out in the Article mentioned above, the Council: (a) while noting that the fourth paragraph of Article 2 of the First Directive provides that Member States may apply the common system of value added tax only up to and including the wholesale trade stage, recognizes the need to include retail trade within the scope of value added tax from the time of its introduction;

(b) recognizes also the need to keep down the number of different rates of taxation applied. 1OJ No 71, 14.4.1967, p. 1301/67.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 14 January 1974 on the participation of the European Communities in the European Science Foundation

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaties establishing the European Communities;

Having regard to the draft from the Commission;

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;

Whereas at the Paris Conference on 19 and 20 October 1972 the Heads of State or of Government expressed their resolve to define objectives and ensure the development of a common policy in the field of science and technology ; whereas, to this end, it is necessary to coordinate national policies;

Whereas a European Science Foundation is in the process of being set up by the research Councils and academies of European States, including the nine Member States of the European Communities;

Whereas the creation of such a Foundation would seem to be an effective way of stimulating European cooperation and providing an answer to the questions arising in connection with basic research,

HAS ADOPTED THIS RESOLUTION:

1. The Council notes with interest the planned creation of a European Science Foundation and also the fact that the Commission has been invited to take part in the activities of the Working Party instructed to draw up the statutes of this Foundation.

2. The Council hereby records a favourable attitude to the establishment of links between the Foundation and the European Communities. At the close of the preparatory work for the setting up of this Foundation, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, will decide on the nature and the form of such links.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS DECISION No 105 of 19 December 1975 on the implementation of Article 50 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71

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 arising from the provisions of the said Regulation and of Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72,

Whereas the strict application of Articles 50 and 51 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 would require the institution paying a supplement under the aforementioned Article 50 to recalculate that supplement whenever one of the benefits due to the beneficiary is altered because of an increase in the cost of living, a change in the level of wages and salaries or because of other adjustments;

Whereas it is administratively impossible for the pension insurance institutions of certain Member States to make such recalculations as frequently as this would require;

Whereas such recalculations could only have the effect of reducing the amount of the supplement;

Whereas there would be a reduction of the amount payable by the institution but at the same time an increase in the administrative costs;

Whereas it is as much in the interest of the person receiving the supplement as of the institution responsible for paying it if the amount in question were recalculated only once a year,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The competent institution of a Member State which puts a supplement into payment in accordance with Article 50 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 shall notify the payment to the competent institution of any other Member State under whose legislation the beneficiary is also entitled to benefit under Article 46 of the said Regulation.

2. Once a year, during the month of January, the competent institutions of the other Member States which provide benefits under Article 46 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 shall notify the institution paying the supplement of the amount of the benefit they are paying from 1 January.

However, the competent authorities of two Member States may, by common agreement, depart from this rule in order to make such adjustments at shorter intervals.

3. This Decision shall be applicable from the first day of the month following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

The Chairman of

the Administrative Commission

G. SALIS
