Notice of intention to carry out a review of an anti- dumping measure/ /* PRODUCT HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR - ORIGIN JAPAN */



Official Journal C 132 , 31/05/1990 P. 0004 - 0004



Notice of intention to carry out a review of an anti-dumping measure (90/C 132/04) The Commission has received a request for a review of the measure mentioned below in accordance with Article 15 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 (1) on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community. Following an examination of the facts and allegations contained in this request regarding the foreseeable effects of the expiry of the measure in question, the Commission has concluded, subject to a further analysis, that there is sufficient evidence that the expiry of this measure would lead again to injury or threat thereof. In support of these allegations, the Community industry has supplied evidence of an aggressive marketing policy by the Japanese exporters which has resulted in a strong position on the world market. Having a dominant position on their home market, Japanese exporters have captured the American and EFTA countries market. The only other major market left is the European Community which continues to resist. It is also alleged that the capacity in the exporting country considerably exceeds domestic requirements. The Commission therefore, after consultation, gives notice of its intention to carry out a review of the anti-dumping duty mentioned hereinafter. The measure shall remain in force pending the outcome of this review. A notice of initiation of a review will be published in due course. >TABLE> (1) OJ No L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1.
No C 176/2 Official Journal of the European Communities 17. 7. 90 
Notice pursuant to Article 26 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1017/68 (') concerning 
notification No IV/32.490 — Eurotunnel 
(90/C 176/02) 
1. On 2 November 1987 the Channel Tunnel Group 
Limited (CTG), a company incorporated under English 
law, whose registered office is in London (United 
Kingdom) and France Manche SA (FM), a company 
incorporated under French law, whose registered office 
is in Paris (France), notified a usage contract concluded 
on 29 July 1987 between the abovementioned two 
companies on the one hand and British Railways (BR) 
and the Societe Nationale des Chemins de Fer Francais 
(SNCF) on the other, with a view to obtaining a 
declaration of non-applicability of the prohibition in 
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1017/68, in 
accordance with Article 5 of that Regulation. 
2. Following the application submitted on 2 
November 1987, the Commission, pursuant to Article 12 
(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1017/68, published a 
summary of the usage contract and the arguments put 
forward by the parties to the agreement. The notice may 
be consulted by interested third parties in the Official 
Journal of the European Communities^). 
3. The Commission then decided to allow the 90-day 
limit to expire, as provided for in Article 12 (3) of Regu­
lation (EEC) No 1017/68, without raising any serious doubts, thus exempting the contract for three years from 
the date of publication, i.e. until 15 November 1991. 
4. By letter dated 25 January 1989, the applicants 
requested the Commission, on the grounds that the 
contract is essential to the financing and viability of the 
Channel tunnel, and in view of the size of the necessary 
investments and long term obligations involved, to adopt 
a decision granting exemption for a period equal to the 
duration of the contract, i. e. 55 years. 
5. The Commission proposes to exempt the contract 
in question for a limited period of time pursuant to 
Article 85 (3). Before doing so, however, it invites 
interested parties to send their comments within six 
weeks from the date of publication of this notice, 
quoting reference No IV/32.490 (Eurotunnel), to the

RESOLUTION OF THE ECSC CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE ON THE LEVEL OF THE LEVEL OF THE ECSC LEVY (adopted unanimously at the 289th Session of 18 December 1990, with five abstentions) (91/C 10/05)

The ECSC Consultative Committee: - having taken note of the aide-memoire of the Comisssion (doc. SEC(90) 1495 final) of 6 September 1990 on the fixing of the ECSC levy rate and on the drawing up of the ECSC operating budget for 1991, on the one hand, and the amendment of 13 November 1990 concerning the said budget (doc. SEC(90) 1884 final), on the other, -having also taken note of the explanations and comments furnished during the session by the representatives of the Commission, 1. regrets, that the Commission has decided to propose, within the framework of the 1991 budget, that the ECSC levy should be maintained at its present level of 0,31 %, which will lead to an increase of the burden in absolute terms; 2.stresses once again that this tax is levied exclusively on the coal and steel industries of the Community; 3.denounces the specific nature of this tax, which does not burden imported steel products and materials in competition with steel, such as plastics and aluminium; 4.notes the existence of ECSC reserves amounting to ECU 760 million, which were built up by means of the levy; 5.insists: - that these reserves be used progressively in the interests of the coal and steel industries; -that, at the same time, the Commission implement a substantial reduction of the ECSC levy in the immediate future; 6.is of the opinion that the existence of the ECSC budget should not prevent the coal and steel industries from having access to general sources of finance provided for in the EEC budget, in particular with regard to social expenditure and funds for research; 7.also considers that, with regard to loans for the coal and steel sectors, recourse should be effected towards a greater use of the resources of the European Investment Bank; 8.calls for greater transparency and more detailed consultation with the industries concerned when it comes to the administration and the use of the ECSC reserves, as well as the drawing up, administration and use of the ECSC budget.

COUNCIL CONCLUSIONS of 13 December 1993 on the setting up of an epidemiological network in the Community (94/C 15/04)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Considering the Community's need to ensure a high level of human health protection, in particular by preventive action,

Recalling inter alia the resolution of the Council and the Ministers for Health of the Member States, meeting within the Council, of 13 November 1992, on the monitoring and surveillance of communicable diseases (1),

taking account of current work in this field, in particular in international organizations, and the existence in several Member States of networks responsible for gathering and processing epidemiological data,

AGREES that it is necessary for the Community as a whole to acquire a better knowledge of pathologies on the basis of their causes and their epidemiological context;

CONSIDERS that a network should be developed at Community level the main purpose of which would be to collect and coordinate information from monitoring networks in the Member States;

EMPHASIZES that the smooth running of such a network requires that theoretical training in epidemiology and practical preparation in epidemiology in the field be developed for the teams participating in the network;

REQUESTS the Commission, in its proposals relating to the framework of action in the field of public health, to devote special attention to setting up an epidemiological network in the Community and to examine for that purpose, with the experts appointed in conjunction with the Member States and on the basis of a prior inventory of current proceedings and mechanisms existing at Community level and that of Member States, the feasibility of such a network, taking account of the provisions contained in these conclusions and ensuring the comparability and compatibility of data.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION

of 19 June 1995

on social harmonization in road freight transport in the Internal Market

(95/C 169/03)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to its resolution of 24 October 1994 on road freight transport in the Single European Market (1);

Considering the prospects for liberalizing the internal market and the intensification of relations with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which mean that better harmonization of conditions of competition must be ensured;

In view of the need to improve road safety and to improve social conditions, which are sources of stability and efficiency in road transport undertakings;

1. NOTES the consideration, in the current proceedings of the Joint Committee on Road Transport, of questions relating to working time and vocational training in the road transport sector;

2. NOTES that the Joint Committee on Road Transport is pressing ahead with its proceedings on those questions, on the basis of the surveys scheduled in the next few months:

- on the one hand, on how account is taken, in legislation in force in the Member States, of the working time of long-distance drivers of heavy goods vehicles other than the time spent driving or resting,

- on the other hand, of the provisions in force in the Member States relating to the initial vocational training and continuing vocational training of such drivers, whether or not such training is compulsory;

3. CALLS UPON the Commission to continue its cooperation with the Joint Committee on Road Transport in order to ensure that such surveys are actually carried out and that the summaries drawn up on the basis of those surveys enable the Committee to launch genuine discussions between the representatives of employers' professional organizations and the representatives of employees' professional organizations on the provisions to be adopted, taking account of questions concerning their practical effects and their supervision;

4. EXPRESSES THE WISH that the proceedings of the Joint Committee on Road Transport thus initiated should lead, as quickly as possible, to concrete and common conclusions;

5. POINTS OUT that it invited the Commission, in its resolution of 24 October 1994, to produce in particular a report on regulations in force in the Member States relating to the training of long-distance drivers of heavy goods vehicles, including drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous substances, and to formulate, where appropriate, proposals for compulsory initial training and appropriate continuing training;

6. NOTES THAT the Commission, having considered the conclusions emerging from the discussions of the Joint Committee on Road Transport, intends to follow up as quickly as possible its communication of 20 March 1992 concerning the introduction of the concept of working time into Regulations (EEC) No 3820/85 and (EEC) No 3821/85 on driving time and rest periods in the road transport sector.

(Text with EEA relevance)

(unanimously adopted at the 318th Session of 16 December 1994, less one abstention)

THE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE OF THE EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY,

- taking note of the Commission Decision to suppress the quarterly guidelines drawn up since the second quarter of 1993 and within which the companies are invited to inform the Commission on the manner 'they intend to conform to the overall trends for production and deliveries on Community markets, communicated individually for the products of their production range`,

- recalling that in its conclusions, the Council on 8 November 'invited the Commission to continue to pay close attention to the development of the situation and to prepare appropriate measures in accordance with the prevailing market situation` and 'to report regularly to the Council on the development in this sector as well as on the measures it (the Commission) intends to take`,
