COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 29 June 1973 to the Government of Denmark on the draft order implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2829/72 (73/256/EEC)

In a letter dated 5 February 1973, the Office of the Danish Permanent Representative sent to the Commission the text of a draft order laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2829/72 (1) of 28 December 1972 on the Community quota for road carriage of goods between Member States.

This constitutes consultation within the meaning of Article 7 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2829/72.

The Commission takes note of the fact that the Danish draft order contains the implementing measures which the Member States must take pursuant to the abovementioned Regulation. Such measures must cover the organization, the procedure and the means of supervision, and the penalties for breaches of the Regulation. 1. The Commission notes that the draft order repeats certain provisions already contained in the abovementioned Community Regulation.

Under Article 189 of the Treaty, the provisions of this Regulation are directly applicable in the Member States and entered into force in Denmark on 1 January 1973. There is therefore no need to incorporate these provisions in national instruments. This could lead to confusion as to the entry into force or the direct applicability of Community Regulations as such. The repetition, even in part, of provisions of a Community Regulation in a national legal instrument should at most be permitted only where this is necessary to make the instrument comprehensible to users.

The Commission accordingly recommends the Danish government to delete from the draft order the following provisions, for which no justification exists:

Article 2, 3 and 6, paragraph 2 in their entirety.

Article 8

"... in particular where they are not being sufficiently used or are being used solely for bilateral transport operations."

2. As regards their intention and general substance, the other provisions of the draft order fulfil the requirements of the abovementioned Regulation.

However, it would have been desirable that the Danish government completes its provisions of implementation, especially concerning penalties, based on the Commission's Recommendation of 9 June 1969 (2) to the Member States regarding the introduction of the Regulation of the Community quota.

COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION of 4 May 1976 on the rational use of energy by promoting the thermal insulation of buildings (76/492/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the draft from the Commission,

Whereas, in its resolution of 17 September 1974 concerning a new energy policy strategy for the Community (1), the Council accepted as an objective the "reduction of the rate of growth of internal consumption by measures for using energy rationally and economically without jeopardizing social and economic growth objectives";

Whereas, in its resolution of 17 December 1974 on a Community action programme on the rational utilization of energy (2), the Council noted that, in its communication to the Council entitled "Rational utilization of energy", the Commission had drawn up a Community action programme in this field;

Whereas a suitable system should be introduced to inform the public of the best ways of improving the thermal insulation of buildings, thereby helping to promote the rational use of energy;

Whereas the measures recommended are likely to produce sufficiently large savings in energy to make the required investment economically worthwhile,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS TO THE MEMBER STATES:

1. that they organize or sponsor specific information campaigns designed to stimulate public interest in improving inadequate or poor-quality thermal insulation systems in residential accommodation, particularly by setting up, reorganizing or maintaining information and advisory agencies or offices capable of providing practical information in each case;

2. that, in order to ensure the utmost effectiveness of the measures described in point 1: 2.1. they assess the average extent of thermal insulation in existing residential accommodation, in particular by sample surveys, and endeavour to find methods of improving it;

2.2. they organize competitions or draw up development programmes to obtain the best original ideas for improving insulation in existing residential accommodation, with particular reference to the investment required and to cost effectiveness in terms of energy savings;

3. that they adopt the harmonized Community reference standards for thermal insulation which are to be drawn up for use in the implementation of all laws, regulations and administrative measures, in particular to ensure that: 3.1. the criteria used as a basis for assessment are identical in all Community countries,

3.2. building materials and components may circulate freely on the Community's internal market.

The standards should be applied in stages to every type of building in turn, beginning in 1980 with office and public buildings.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 8 January 1981 on accelerated settlement of claims under insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles (81/76/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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

Whereas motor vehicles are responsible for a significant proportion of accidents occurring in the Community;

Whereas, on 7 August 1980, the Commission presented to the Council a proposal for a second Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles ; whereas that proposal is aimed at reducing certain disparities which continue to exist between the obligatory motor vehicle civil liability insurance schemes in the different Member States, in order to ensure that motor vehicle accident victims have equivalent cover in all Member States;

Whereas, however, that proposal does not deal with the procedures used to settle claims ; whereas it is not possible to establish a uniform procedure in all Member States for forwarding police reports, particularly in view of the effect in this area of principles of public policy governing the administration of justice;

Whereas the period elapsing between the occurrence of a road accident and the payment of compensation by the insurer of the person liable is occasionally extremely lengthy ; whereas such lengthy periods are undoubtedly prejudicial to accident victims;

Whereas such lengthy periods are largely attributable to the slowness of the legal procedures for determining liability and fixing compensation;

Whereas procedures have been introduced in some Member States enabling the parties concerned and their insurers to obtain more rapid access to police reports containing the particulars that are essential for settling claims ; whereas it is appropriate to encourage the extension of such arrangements,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

Article 1

The Member States shall take all the measures necessary to facilitate the communication to those concerned of police reports and other documents necessary for the payment of compensation by insurers covering against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles.

Article 2

Member States shall inform the Commission of the measures they take on the basis of this recommendation.

Article 3

This recommendation is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 25 February 1993 on the European firearms pass

(93/216/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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

Whereas Annex II to Council Directive 91/477/EEC of 18 June 1991 on control of the acquisition and possession of weapons (1) sets out the information which must be contained in a European firearms pass but gives no indication of the layout of the pass;

Whereas the purpose of the European firearms pass is to facilitate the free movement of sportsmen wishing to engage in hunting or target shooting in the Community; whereas a uniform pass bearing a common logo will be a tangible sign that this objective has been achieved;

Whereas a uniform layout for the European firearms pass will also make the pass immediately recognizable to authorities who may need to examine it in the Member States; whereas such checks will be facilitated if the order and numbering of sections is made uniform, and a glossary included,

RECOMMENDS THAT:

In transposing the Directive, Member States should ensure that the European firearms pass which they issue conforms to the specimen annexed hereto.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 8 June 1995 concerning improvement of safety of existing lifts (Text with the EEA relevance) (95/216/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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

Whereas it is incumbent upon the Member States to provide for the safety of persons on their territory;

Whereas the Member States have not all enacted regulations on the safety of lifts;

Whereas that modernization, in the interest of safety, may be spread over several years,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS THAT THE MEMBER STATES:

1. Take all necessary action, where existing laws are as yet inadequate to meet the requirements of this recommendation:

- ensure a satisfactory level of maintenance for existing lifts,

- improve the safety of these lifts based on the principles in the Annex to this recommendation.

2. Take measures beyond those mentioned in the Annex, if safety demands.

This recommendation is addressed to the Member States.

ANNEX

PRINCIPLES RELATING TO IMPROVEMENT OF THE SAFETY OF EXISTING LIFTS

Preliminary remark

European standards EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 may be applied, whenever possible, in order to obtain numerical values relating, in particular, to dimensions, tolerances, speeds or acceleration rates.

1. Car doors to be fitted and a floor-level indicator to be fitted inside the car.

2. The car suspension cables to be inspected and possibly replaced.

3. The stop controls to be modified in order to achieve a high degree of precision in the stopping level of the car and a gradual deceleration.

4. Make the controls in both the cars and lift wells intelligible and usable by unaccompanied disabled persons.

5. Fit human- or animal-presence detectors to the automatic doors.

6. For lifts which travel faster than 0,6 m/s, fit a parachute system allowing them to decelerate smoothly when stopping.

7. Modify the alarm systems to establish a permanent link with a high-speed breakdown service.

8. Eliminate any asbestos in the braking systems, where this exists.

9. Fit a device preventing uncontrolled movements towards the top of the car.

10. Provide cars with emergency lighting that operates in the event of a main power supply failure. It must operate for long enough to enable the rescue services to intervene in a normal manner. The installation must also enable the alarm system provided for in item 7 to function.
