Notice from the Commission on procedures concerning notifications pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation No 17/62 (1)

In publishing this notice, it is the intention of the Commission to open the way for a more flexible administrative practice in assessing notifications under Article 4 of Regulation No 17/62 in the light of its past experience in this area. This has shown that in certain cases a provisional letter sent by the Commission's Directorate-General for Competition would be an appropriate response to a notification made for the purposes of obtaining an Article 85 (3) Decision. However, in order to enhance the declaratory value of such a letter, and without prejudice to the possibility of terminating the procedure by a formal Decision, the Commission will now publish the essential content of such agreements pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17/62, so as to give (1) OJ No 13, 21.2.1962, p. 204 ; OJ (English Special Edition 1959-62), November 1972, p. 87. interested third parties an opportunity to make known their views. In the light of the comments received after publication, it would then be possible, in appropriate cases, to send a provisional letter, so as to simplify and shorten the procedure. Such letters will not have the status of Decisions and will therefore not be capable of appeal to the Court of Justice. They will state that the Directorate-General for Competition, in agreement with the undertakings concerned, does not consider it necessary to pursue the formal procedure through to the adoption of a Decision under Article 85 (3) in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation No 17/62.

A list of the cases dealt with by dispatch of provisional letters following publication will be appended to the Report on Competition Policy.

The Commission would be grateful if, in addition to the above obligations, the steel trade 
would continue to publish price lists for sales from stocks on a voluntary basis. In so doing, the 
trade could base itself on the steel undertakings' price lists and on the rules adopted by the 
Commission concerning pricing practices.

Decision no 134

of 1 July 1987

concerning the interpretation of Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 relating to aggregation of insurance periods completed in an occupation subject to a special scheme in one or more Member States

(1988/C 64/01)

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 of 14 June 1971, under which it is made responsible for dealing with all administrative questions or matters of interpretation arising from the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and subsequent Regulations,

Whereas Decision No 80 published in the Official Journal of the European Communities No C 75 of 19 September 1973 must be supplemented as from 1 January 1986 following the accession of Spain to the EEC;

Whereas it is essential to know whether the schemes for mineworkers in various Member States are corresponding schemes within the meaning of Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, in order to determine whether the insurance periods completed by virtue of those schemes must be aggregated without verifying the nature of the occupation in which the said periods were completed;

Whereas Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 stipulates that where the legislation of a Member State makes the award of certain benefits conditional upon the completion of the insurance periods in an occupation subject to a special scheme, the only insurance periods to be aggregated for eligibility for such benefits shall be periods completed under corresponding schemes of other Member States and periods completed in the same occupation under other schemes of the said Member States;

Whereas the corresponding schemes referred to in Article 45(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 are special schemes in Member States for workers in a similar occupation;

Whereas the special schemes for mineworkers in Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands meet these criteria;

Acting in accordance with the provisions of Article 80 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The special schemes for mineworkers in Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are corresponding schemes within the meaning of Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71.

2. Consequently insurance periods completed by virtue of the said special schemes for mineworkers must be taken into consideration for the purpose of their aggregation in accordance with Article 45 (2) first sentence of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, as determined by those schemes, irrespective of their actual area of application and without verification of the nature of the occupation in which the said periods were completed.

3. This Decision, which replaces Decision No 80 of 22 February 1973, shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply from 1 January 1986.

A. Trier

All the above figures are before any calculations for tax effects, i.e. gross.Member States must ensure that the beneficiary does not receive more aid than allowed by the above criteria for the same project through repeated notification of aid schemes meeting these criteria or such schemes being added to any other aids under general, regional or sectoral aid schemes.Such aids may be paid on a national, regional or local basis.All aids to exports in intra-Community trade or operating aids are excluded from the procedure.Existing aid schemes, which the Commission has previously approved, where there is a proposed:- prolongation over time without increase in budgetary resources,-increase in budget available up to 20 % of original sum but no prolongation,-prolongation over time with budget increases up to 20 % of original sum,-where the Member State operating the scheme proposes modifications tightening the criteria of application.A simplified form for notification to be used for both new and existing schemes is set out below.
