COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 29 June 1977 on EEC whole vehicle type-approval for passenger cars

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Council resolution of 28 May 1969 drawing up a programme for the elimination of technical barriers to trade in industrial products which result from disparities between the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States (1) and to the Council resolution of 17 December 1973 on industrial policy (2),

Having regard to the proposals for Directives, currently under examination, on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor vehicle type-approval,

RECOGNIZING the progress made in this field by the adoption of over 30 Directives, and anxious to bring to a successful conclusion the action initiated by the adoption of the Council framework Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (3);

REAFFIRMS its determination to put EEC whole vehicle type-approval for passenger cars into operation as soon as practicable;

INSTRUCTS the Permanent Representatives Committee, to this end, to press on with its examination of the proposals for Directives still to be adopted and invites it in particular to intensify its study of all the technical, administrative, commercial, industrial and road safety implications of the implementation of EEC whole vehicle type-approval in order to guarantee its maximum effectiveness;

INVITES the Commission to give its opinion on these various aspects, to supplement if necessary its proposal for amending the framework Directive 70/156/EEC and to convene at an early date a meeting of the representatives of the Member States and those concerned to examine how the EEC whole vehicle type-approval system for passenger cars might best operate.

COMMISSION STATEMENT concerning Article 115 of the Treaty

The Commission notes the concern expressed by the Council in its Resolution.

The Commission is aware that in awarding public supply contracts Member States may still, in accordance with the Treaty, apply certain measures of national commercial policy with regard to the eligibility of products originating in third countries for such contracts. The Commission recognizes that, until these national measures are harmonized within the framework of the contractual or unilateral common commercial policy and in the light of the outcome of current or future international negotiations, their application may give rise to difficulty in cases where tenders include products originating in third countries in free circulation in another Member State.

The Commission would recall that Article 115 of the Treaty enables the efficacy of such national measures to be safeguarded against deflection of trade resulting from the free movement within the Community of products originating in third countries.

In accordance with Article 115 of the Treaty, the Commission intends to authorize those Member States concerned which have applied for such authorization to provide, in respect of all entities not covered by the Agreement, in respect of entities covered by the Agreement vis-à-vis non-signatory countries and in respect of entities covered by the Agreement, but as regards products or contracts not covered by it, for the exclusion from their public contracts of certain products or categories of products originating in third countries which are in free circulation in another Member State, in all cases where similar arrangements are made as regards directly imported products originating in third countries.

The application of such measures will have effect only at the time of examination of tenders and not at the point of importation into the Member State concerned. These measures will not therefore entail any controls nor will they lead to the creation of any form of barrier at the frontiers within the Community and they will not affect the import arrangements for the import of products originating in third countries, nor in particular the extent of liberalization at Community or national level.

The Commission will make its decisions after examination of the applications of the Member States concerned. Applications shall specify the categories of goods and public contracts in question, the arrangements applied in the field of public contracts to such goods where they originate in third countries and are imported directly, and the grounds for the application of such arrangements.
COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 3 November 1976 on certain external aspects of the creation of a 200-mile fishing zone in the Community with effect from 1 January 1977

With reference to its Declaration of 27 July 1976 on the creation of a 200-mile fishing zone in the Community, the Council considers that the present circumstances, and particularly the unilateral steps taken or about to be taken by certain third countries, warrant immediate action by the Community to protect its legitimate interests in the maritime regions most threatened by the consequences of these steps to extend fishing zones, and that the measures to be adopted to this end should be based on the guidelines which are emerging within the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea.

It agrees that, as from 1 January 1977, Member States shall, by means of concerted action, extend the limits of their fishing zones to 200 miles off their North Sea and North Atlantic coasts, without prejudice to similar action being taken for the other fishing zones within their jurisdiction such as the Mediterranean.

It also agrees that, as from the same date, the exploitation of fishery resources in these zones by fishing vessels of third countries shall be governed by agreements between the Community and the third countries concerned.

It agrees, furthermore, on the need to ensure, by means of any appropriate Community agreements, that Community fishermen obtain fishing rights in the waters of third countries and that the existing rights are retained.

To this end, irrespective of the common action to be taken in the appropriate international bodies, it instructs the Commission to start negotiations forthwith with the third countries concerned in accordance with the Council's directives. These negotiations will be conducted with a view to concluding, in an initial phase, outline agreements regarding the general conditions to be applied in future for access to resources, both those situated in the fishing zones of these third countries and those in the fishing zones of the Member States of the Community.

The text of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2364/75 of 15 September 1975 on the calculation of aids in the form of loans at reduced rates of interest or of interest rebates which are not specified in percentage points (OJ No L 243 of 17 September 1975, p. 9) and the amendments made to it by the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Hellenic Republic (OJ No L 291 of 19 November 1979, p. 111) and by the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic (OJ No L 302, 15 November 1985, p. 230) are consolidated in this version.

Article 1 In all cases where a loan is granted at a reduced rate of interest or where an interest rebate is not stated in advance to be a rebate of a specific number of percentage points, the amount of the reduction in the interest rate or of the rebate shall be calculated on the basis of a reference rate.

Article 3 In each case the reference rate in force on the day of the decision to grant the interest rebate or the reduced interest loan shall be used. This rate shall be indicated in the request for assistance from the Fund. Article 4

This regulation shall enter into force on the fifth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
