THE COUNCIL,

Whereas the centenary of the invention of cinematography will be celebrated in the next few years,

AGREES, with a view to celebrating the centenary of cinema to:

- intensify action to restore films from the European heritage in the context of greater cooperation between Member States' archives, notably in the framework of the MEDIA programme (Lumière project),

- encourage the dissemination of this heritage in European festivals and cinemas as part of initiatives to highlight the importance of this heritage for the future of European cinema,

- promote awareness of the artistic movements in European cinema, its pioneers and its schools, in the interests of continuing dialogue with contemporary film-makers,

CALLS ON the Commission to participate in this campaign, in particular in liaison with the Council of Europe, by:

COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 24 October 1994 on structural improvements in inland waterway transport (94/C 309/04)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

NOTES with concern that an imbalance between the supply of, and the demand for, capacity continues to exist as a consequence of the economic downturn and the structural changes noted over several years on the inland waterway transport market. Consequently, the freight rates are also still at an unacceptable level or continue to show a downward trend,

CONSIDERS it urgently necessary, for the purpose of reorganizing the western European inland waterway transport market and ensuring the lasting competitiveness of the inland waterway transport sector, to take more effective measures than those currently applied so that a healthy profit situation can be re-established in the future,

REFERS to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89 (1) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 (2) on structural improvements in inland waterway transport,

CONSIDERS that as an adequate measure for ensuring the lasting competitiveness of the inland waterway transport trade, a new comprehensive structural adjustment is necessary,

CALLS UPON the Commission to submit proposals, or to adopt other suitable measures within its field of competence, with a view to improving the effectiveness of the regulation on structural improvements, NOTES in this context the Commission's intention to increase the ratio between the tonnage to be scrapped and new tonnage to 1,5 : 1, referred to as the 'old for new' ratio,

ALSO CALLS UPON the Commission to present, before 1 January 1995, an overall proposal on inland waterway transport, concerning in particular the future organization of the market and scrapping operations.

Done at Luxembourg, 24 October 1994.

Information on the assessment of full-function joint ventures pursuant to the competition rules of the European Community (98/C 66/06) (Text with EEA relevance)

By Council Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 of 30 June 1997, which amended Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (1), all full-function joint ventures which have a Community dimension and have as their object or effect the coordination of the competitive behaviour of undertakings that remain independent were included in the scope of the latter Regulation. Consequently, such joint ventures will no longer fall under the provisions of Council Regulations No 17 (2), (EEC) No 1017/68 (3), (EEC) No 4056/86 (4) and (EEC) No 3975/87 (5). Hence, the regulations that the Commission adopted for the implementation of those Council Regulations, namely Regulations (EC) No 3385/94 (6), No 99/63/EEC (7), (EEC) No 1629/69 (8), (EEC) No 1630/69 (9), (EEC) No 4260/88 (10) and (EEC) No 4261/88 (11), and in particular their provisions concerning communications, complaints, applications and notifications, also cease to be applicable to these joint ventures. Forms A/B, I, II et III, MAR as well as AER will be adapted to the new legal situation.

There is no change in the provisions applicable to joint ventures other than those described above, namely those full-function joint ventures which do not have a Community dimension within the meaning of the amended Regulation (EEC) No 4046/89 and which have as their object or effect the coordination of the competitive behaviour of undertakings that remain independent, as well as non-full-function joint ventures.

OPINION OF THE EUROPEAN MONETARY INSTITUTE at the request of the Council of the European Union under Articles 106(6) and 109f(8) of the Treaty establishing the European Community (the Treaty) and Article 42 of the Statute of the ESCB on a proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) amending Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 260/68, which lays down the conditions and procedure for applying the tax for the benefit of the European Communities (98/C 190/07)

CON/98/16

1. The present opinion was requested in a letter dated 6 March 1998 from the Council of the European Union which, for this purpose, forwarded document COM(97) 725 final to the EMI. The document contained the proposal and its explanatory memorandum. The EMI is competent to deliver an opinion under Articles 106(6) and 109f(8) of the Treaty.

2. The Protocol on the privileges and immunities of the European Communities (the Protocol) is applicable to the ECB according to Article 40 of the Statute of the ESCB and Article 23 of the Protocol. The objective of the proposal is to define the applicability to ECB staff of Article 13 of the Protocol, according to which officials and other servants of Community institutions and bodies are liable to a tax for the benefit of the Communities on salaries, wages and emoluments paid to them by their employer.

3. The proposal suggests that a new Article 12a will replace the old Article 12a, which relates to the EMI, and that the Regulation should enter into force on the date on which the establishment of the ECB becomes effective. The EMI considers such a replacement to be problematical owing to the fact that, although it is true that the EMI will go into liquidation on the establishment of the ECB, its liquidation shall be completed by the beginning of the third stage. Until the end of the liquidation the ECB and the EMI (under liquidation) will coexist. In particular, EMI members of staff will continue to perform their tasks, working for the ECB under EMI contracts, until the expiry of such contracts or their replacement by ECB contracts. At the same time, new members of staff will be hired under the terms of ECB contracts. Therefore, it is necessary to make provision for the old Article 12a, which relates to the EMI, to remain in force until the final day of the liquidation of the EMI, while the new Article 12a, which applies the Community tax to ECB staff, must enter into force on the date on which the establishment of the ECB becomes effective.

4. This opinion will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
