COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 17 April 1974 to the German Government concerning the preliminary drafts of measures implementing Council Regulations (EEC) No 516/72 and (EEC) No 517/72 and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1172/72 (Only the German text is authentic) (74/256/EEC)

By a letter of 17 September 1973, the Permanent Representative of Germany communicated to the Commission preliminary drafts of a Regulation and of general administrative provisions for the implementation of: - Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/72 (1) of 28 February 1972;

- Council Regulation (EEC) No 517/72 (2) of 28 February 1972;

- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1172/72 (3) of 26 May 1972.

This communication was by way of consultation of the Commission pursuant to Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/72 and Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 517/72.

As regards Regulation (EEC) No 1172/72, the communication is to be treated as a notification to the Commission, under Article 6 of that Regulation, of the implementing provisions which the German Government proposes to adopt.

Firstly, the Commission notes with regret that the German Government has not observed the time limit set by Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/72 and by Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 517/72 for the adoption of implementing measures for these Regulations. As regards the contents of the preliminary draft regulation and general administrative provisions, the Commission makes the following recommendation: 1. Article 12 of the preliminary draft Regulation specifies the offences against the Community Regulations concerned and by reference to Article 61 (4) of the Law on passenger transport makes them subject to the penalties thereby provided. It omits, however, to include among the offences subject to such penalties failure to provide the notice required under Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 517/72. The second paragraph of Article 22 of this Regulation expressly obliges Member States to provide for penalties for such failure.

The German Government is therefore recommended to make good this omission.

2. The Commission notes that the other provisions that have been submitted by the German Government satisfy the obligations of Member States under the Community Regulations considered.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 11 November 1980 to the Member States concerning tests relating to the safety evaluation of food additives (80/1089/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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

Whereas by Decision 74/234/EEC (1) the Commission instituted a Scientific Committee for Food;

Whereas the Scientific Committee for Food in its opinion of 22 February 1980 (2) elaborated guidelines for the safety assessment of food additives to indicate the general principles applied by the Committee in advising on health questions associated with their approval;

Whereas in the normal course of events the Commission consults the Committee in drawing up legislation on food additives;

Whereas the Commission endorses the Committee's recommendations on guidelines for the safety assessment of food additives without prejudice to recommendations which might be formulated by the Commission for chemical substances having other uses;

Whereas therefore the Commission requires that in as far as it is possible information supporting the inclusion of food additives in a Community list should include toxicological and technological data developed in accordance with these guidelines;

Whereas in the interests of harmonization, and to avoid wastage of resources, it is desirable that Member States align their national requirements on the subject;

Whereas tests designed to evaluate the quality and safety of food additives must be constantly adapted to take account of the latest scientific and technical knowledge, and the development of a Community approach to the methodology used in the testing of chemical substances,

RECOMMENDS TO THE MEMBER STATES TO:

1. Comply with the principles and methodology described in the Guidelines for the Assessment of Food Additives established by the Scientific Committee for Food on 22 February 1980 for the conduct of tests and in the presentation of results on food additives suggested for inclusion in a Community list.

2. Incorporate the provisions of those guidelines in those of their national approval requirements for food additives which are not yet the subject of Community legislation.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 22 February 1982

to the Italian Republic concerning measures to improve the transport of goods by rail to and from Italy

(82/172/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas major difficulties are occasionaly evident in the running of rail transport links with Italy and, principally, with import traffic destined for Italy;

Whereas the Community has an interest in improving this situation because of the effects of current difficulties on trade in goods between Member States and, more particularly, in North-South traffic flows;

Whereas solutions to this problem are to be found as much in the form of short-term measures as in that of programmes for long-term action and investment;

Having noted the measures already taken in this respect by the Italian Government, and the adoption of a multi-annual programme of investment in the Italian railways (F.S.) (programma integrativo) involving a global expenditure of more than Lit 12 000 billion,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

Article 1

The Italian Republic is invited to continue its measures in the most effective manner possible to find a solution to the problems existing in respect of rail transport operations between Italy and the other Member States, notably the North-South traffic link, and to take into consideration when carrying out the 'programma integrativo' for the F.S. the fact that measures relating to rail transport to and from Community States should have priority.

Article 2

The Italian Government is invited to inform the Commission of the measures taken to give effect to the present recommendation.
