CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL of 1 June 1992 on the assessment of new Community programmes concerning education and training (92/C 151/04)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

In view of the increasing size and importance of Community programmes concerning education and training and the prospects for their future development;

Recalling the conclusions of the Council and of the Ministers for Education meeting within the Council of 6 October 1989 (1) on cooperation and Community policy in the field of education, which emphasize the need for effective management of education activities, taking into account the limits on financial resources,

HAS COME TO THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS:

1. Without prejudice to the evaluation by the Commission of current programmes and in the light of the principle of subsidiarity, all Community programmes concerning education and training should be assessed by means of criteria and procedures appropriate to their individual objectives.

2. Such assessment should involve a report identifying the situation that exists before the implementation of a programme (the initial report), a report on the first two years of the implementation of a programme, proposing any appropriate adaptations (the interim report) and a report drawn up after the conclusion of a programme (the final report).

3. The terms of reference of the assessment, in particular as regards the criteria, the indicators, the methods and the processes to be adopted, should be stated explicitly in the proposal for each programme. The participation and the responsibility of the Commission as well as the Member States in regard to the evaluation should be also made clear.

4. These terms of reference should make it possible not only to assess objectively the impact produced by programmes in relation to their specific objectives in all 12 Member States but also to establish clear links between their benefits and the resources allocated to them.

INVITES THE COMMISSION:

To take account of these conclusions in the preparation of new programmes, in order to ensure consistency between the assessment of common aspects of different programmes and also the necessary independence of the assessment system.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION

of 22 December 1993

on the strengthening of veterinary epidemiological surveillance measures

(94/C 16/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas the introduction since 1964 of harmonized veterinary rules for the main breeds of animal and the main products of animal origin subject to common market organization has facilitated the development of intra-Community trade in such animals and products;

Whereas Chapter I of Directive 90/425/EEC establishes the principle of veterinary checks at the place of origin for animals and certain products of animal origin, trade in which might involve the danger of spreading epizootic diseases;

Whereas on 1 January 1993 veterinary checks at borders between the Member States were abolished;

Whereas certain inadequacies have appeared in the system of checks at the place of origin introduced by Directive 90/425/EEC;

Whereas, before the transitional measures provided for in Directive 90/675/EEC expire, a decision should be reached to strengthen checks at the place of origin;

HEREBY AGREES, while reaffirming the role and responsibilities of the official services (particularly in checking certification) and in order to ensure control of the movement of animals after the abolition of border checks, to supplement existing control provisions so as to:

1. classify all holdings in relation to the highest possible status and enable more direct access to trade for operators whose holdings have been classified in this way;

2. ensure a close link between animal health, public health and the health quality of the products concerned;

3. strengthen control of trade and imports of animals and products of animal origin and reduce fraudulent movements;

4. further the optimal exchange of information between all the parties involved;

REQUESTS the Commission to formulate appropriate proposals by 1 July 1994, taking particular account of the need to

- ensure official supervision of holdings in order to guarantee the veterinary checks provided for in Article 3 of Directive 90/425/EEC,

- clarify the respective responsibility of operators involved in trade and in maintaining a high health level and of veterinarians responsible for control and disease measures,

- seek appropriate ways and means of ensuring effective supervision of holdings from the veterinary standpoint and of guaranteeing the maintenance of their health status,

- allow Member States to choose the most appropriate means as regards arrangements for the practical application of this principle through the optimal use of their veterinary staffing resources.

HEREBY AGREES to do everything in its power to ensure that these principles are implemented swiftly in the context of the amendment of Directive 64/432/EEC.
ANNEX II.1

COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION of 30 November 1994 concerning the adoption of a standard travel document for the expulsion of third-country nationals

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article K.1 (3) (c) thereof,

Whereas combating unauthorized immigration, residence and work by nationals of third countries on the territory of Member States is regarded as a matter of common interest;

Noting that consultation and cooperation on the execution of expulsion measures is considered a priority action in the 1994 work programme;

Acknowledging that a recent seminar on expulsion measures showed that the great majority of Member States experience difficulties in cases of third-country nationals possessing no travel documents who are required to be expelled from their territory;

Desirous of improving the efficiency with which expulsion measures are executed,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS THAT:

- with effect from 1 January 1995 the attached standard travel document valid for a single journey shall be used as appropriate by all Member States in the case of third-country nationals being expelled from the territory of the Union,

- the document shall be established in the language of the Member State executing the expulsion order,

Commission communication concerning trade between the European Community and Laos, and the entry into force of the provisions laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 12/97, relating to the definition of the concept of originating products, for the purposes of applying tariff preferences granted by the Community to certain products from developing countries (regional cumulation of origin, for countries which are members of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN)) (98/C 381/04)

Article 72 et seq. of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 12/97 (2), provide for regional cumulation to apply, inter alia, to those countries which are members of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), in the context of the Community's rules of origin applicable to the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP).

In particular, Article 72b includes provision for the members of each of the regional groups mentioned to transmit, through the Secretariat of the regional group concerned, an undertaking to comply with the GSP rules of origin and to provide the necessary administrative cooperation with regard to certificates of origin Form A.

Laos, whose membership of ASEAN became effective on 23 July 1997, has provided such an undertaking, and the provisions for regional cumulation shall therefore apply to it from 1 January 1999.

According to the calculations made by the Commission pursuant to the second and third paragraphs of Article 19(1) of Directive 96/92/EC, the average Community share of electricity market opening, as effective in 1999, is 26,48 %.

This figure has been calculated by adding, on the one hand electricity consumed by final consumers consuming more than 40 GWh in all the Member States and, on the other, total net consumption in all the Member States, and then dividing the first figure by the second.

OPINION of the Advisory committee on Concentrations given at the 54th meeting on 24 April 1998 concerning a preliminary draft decision relating to Case No IV/M.1016 - Price-Waterhouse/Coopers & Lybrand (1999/C 56/07) (Text with EEA relevance)

1. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation constitutes a concentration within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a) of the Merger Regulation.

2. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation has a Community dimension according to Article 1(2) of the Merger Regulation.

3. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that 'Large company/Big six` audit and accounting should be distinguished from other auditing and accounting for the purpose of defining the relevant product market.

4. A majority of the Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the provision of audit and accounting services to individual sectors, in particular the banking and insurance sectors, does not constitute separate product markets. A minority disagrees. Another minority abstains.

5. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the 'Large company/Big six` audit and accounting market is national in geographic scope.

6. (a) A majority of the Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the proposed concentration will not create or strengthen a position of single dominance within any of the affected markets as a result of which effective competition would be significantly impeded within the common market or the EEA area. A minority disagrees.

(b) Half of the Member States present at the meeting agree with the Commission that the proposed concentration will not create or strengthen a position of collective dominance within any of the national 'Large company/Big six` audit and accounting markets as a result of which effective competition would be significantly impeded within the common market or the EEA area. A minority disagrees. Another minority abstains.

7. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission as to the definition of the other affected product markets, their geographic scope and the assessment of the Commission as set out in the draft decision.

8. Half of the Member States present at the meeting agree with the Commission that the proposed concentration is compatible with the common market and the functioning of the EEA agreement. A minority considers that the draft decision contains insufficient information on national sectoral markets to enable to form a view. Another minority abstains.

9. The Advisory Committee invites the Commission to take into account all the other points made in the discussion.

10. The Advisory Committee recommends the publication of its opinion in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
