COUNCIL  RESOLUTION 
of 20 July  1976 
on the new  guidelines  for stabilizing  the market  in hops 
THE  COUNCIL 
notes  the Commission's  intention: 
— to submit  an amendment  to its proposal  for revising  the basic  Regulation  on the 
market  in hops  in order  to: 
(a) supplement  the  structural  measures  already  envisaged  under  a two-year  joint 
action  programme  by a ban  on extending  areas  under  hops  and  possibly  by rules 
governing  conversions  to new  varieties  during  that  period, 
(b) supplement  the  existing  measures  for  controlling  the  market  by  making 
provision  for preventive  measures  to avoid  the creation  of structural  surpluses 
and disturbances  of the market  supply  structure, 
— to submit  if necessary,  on these  new  bases  and  taking  into  account  the  present 
market  situation  and  its prospects,  suitable  proposals  permitting  marketing  to be 
carried  out under  improved  market  conditions, 
undertakes,  at the  same  time  as it fixes  the subsidies  for hop  growers  for the 1975 
harvest,  to take  decisions  on the basis  of the above  proposals;  to this  end,  it requests  the 
Commission  to submit  the relevant  proposals  before  15 October  1976.
COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 21 December 1976 concerning the review of Directive 77/62/EEC coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts

The Council invites the Commission to review the operation of Directive 77/62/EEC over an appropriate period, to submit to the Council a report on its operation and the experience gained in its application, and to include in that report proposals for any amendment to Directive 77/62/EEC or for any further measures which may be necessary.

The Commission should consider in particular the advisability of introducing at Community level national procedures which are particularly expedient and would be most suitable for the purposes of attaining the objective laid down in Directive 77/62/EEC.

The report should be submitted to the Council within a period of three years from the adoption of Directive 77/62/EEC.

2. The Commission should take into consideration any advice or opinions it can obtain and should consult the Advisory Committee for Public Contracts.

Commission communication concerning the interpretation of the expressions 'hard coal' and 'run-of-mine brown coal' mentioned in Annex I of the Treaty estabilishing the European Coal and Steel Community(86/C 254/02)

The Commission has been informed by a Member State (Spain) that in the geological formations of that country there exist deposits of solid fuels of varying degrees of carbonization which are exploited economically. These various solid fuels are usually referred to in Spain by the trade names 'anthracite', 'hard coal', 'black lignite' and 'brown lignite'. In spite of the fact that the expressions 'hard coal' and 'run-of-mine brown coal' are not precisely defined in Annex I of the ECSC Treaty, there is no doubt, on the basis of the prevailing interpretation and practical application of the Treaty in other coal-producing Member States (Belgium, Germany, France, United Kingdom) that 'anthracite' and 'hard coal' in Spain correspond to the expression 'hard coal' in Annex I of the Treaty. In the same way, there is no doubt that the Spanish 'brown lignite' corresponds to the expression 'run-of-mine brown coal' in Annex I of the Treaty. With the accession of Spain to the European Coal and Steel Community, however, the question arises of how Spanish 'black lignite' is to be classified. The question of coal classification also arises for other coal deposits in the Mediterranean basin, and concerns the l'Arc (France) and Sulcis (Italy) coalfields. Production in the Sulcis field will be re-opened within a few years. In order to clarify the problems of coal classification the Commission has had a scientific study made. On the basis of this scientific study, the Commission classifies the coals in question from the three abovementioned Member States as follows: - the fuel known to the trade in Spain as 'black lignite' form the Teruel, Mequinenza, Pirenaica and Baleares coalfields, together with the coal to be produced from the Italian Sulcis coalfield (Sardinia) are considered as hard coal in the sense of Annex I of the ESCS Treaty; -the coal produced in the French l'Arc coalfield (Gardanne) is classified as run-of-mine brown coal in the sense of Annex I of the ECSC Treaty.
Decision No 133

of 2 July 1987

concerning the application of Articles 17 (7) and 60 (6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72

(87/C 284/03)

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,

Having regard to Articles 19 and 52 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71,

Having regard to Articles 17 (7) and 60 (6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72,

Having regard to Decision No 116 of 15 December 1982,

Whereas Articles 17 (7) and 60 (6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 provide that the competent insitution shall have a period of 15 days from the day on which the institution of the place of residence sent the relevant information, to notify its reasoned objection to that institution; whereas these provisions are also applicable to the institution of the place of stay;

Whereas transmission through ordinary postal channels does not always allow the competent institution to examine the dossier and to notify, where appropriate, its reasoned objections within the period fixed by Articles 17 (7) and 60 (6) of the implementing Regulation;

Whereas faster means of transmission should therefore be used,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The institution of the place of residence that decides on the grant of benefits in kind pursuant to Article 17 (7) or 60 (6) of the implementing Regulation shall notify the competent institution of its decision by the quickest method (telecopier (telefax), telex, telegram, express letter, telephone, etc.) by reproducing, depending on the transmission mode used, either form E114 or the relevant headings of part A of this form.

2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to the institution of the place of stay.

3. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall be applicable from the first day of the month following its publication.

RESOLUTION OF THE ECSC CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE on the fixing of the ECSC levy rate and on the drawing up of the ECSC operational budget for 1989 (Adopted unanimously at the 273rd Session held on 4 October 1988) (88/C 277/07)

THE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE, having taken note of the Aide-mémoire of the Commission (doc.

no 88/456 Final) of 6 September 1988 on the fixing of the ECSC levy rate and on the drawing up of the ECSC operational budget for 1989, having especially taken note of the intention of the Commission to increase the ECSC levy from 0,31 to 0,39 %, referring to its previous resolutions of 18 December 1987 (1), 1 June 1988 (2) and 21 June 1988 (3),

1. CONFIRMS its categorical opposition to any increase in the ECSC levy from the present level;

2. EMPHASIZES that the Coal and Steel Industries alone are subjected to this unique tax;

3. UNDERLINES the fact that there are still structural problems within the European steel industries which will require substantial financial efforts from the companies.

For coal, short term international competitive pressure is still intense and structural problems remain;

4. RECALLS its position that the financing of additional social measures, in favour of the steel industry as well as the coal industry, should be achieved, as has already been the case in the past, by the transfer of funds from the general Community budget which has just been strengthened by the granting of the customs duty revenue on ECSC products;

5. IS OF THE OPINION:

- that the ECSC budget for 1989 appears to underestimate the potential income from the levy at its existing level of 0,31 %;

- that, whilst supporting the necessity of regional measures, alternative resources should be found for this field outside the ECSC budget in particular by grants from the Structural Funds;

- that ECSC reserves should be subject to a new evaluation.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 3 May 1988 on the close of the European Year of the Environment (88/C 129/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Referring to the decision of the European Council of 29 and 30 March 1985 designating 1987 as the 'European Year of the Environment' and to the Council resolution of 6 March 1986 on an action programme for that year (1);

Noting that, following adoption of the Single Act, environment protection policy has become a fully established policy of the European Community;

Thanks the Commission and all those who have contributed, under the aegis of the Steering Committee and the National Committees, to ensuring the success of the European Year of the Environment;

Welcomes the impact made by, and response to, the European Year of the Environment in the Community, enabling awareness to be increased among a large number of those in positions of responsibility in administrations, industry and trade unions, local authorities and associations and also a broad spectrum of European public opinion, particularly young people;

Is pleased that events were organized around practical projects and in a decentralized way, thereby enabling numerous regional and local bodies in the Community to participate;

Notes with interest the efforts made to encourage in particular, European, multinational or bilateral projects and to involve the business world in the European Year of the Environment;

Takes note of the initiatives to encourage the submission and implementation of projects with an environmental aspect which may be eligible for the various Community Funds;

Notes with satisfaction that some non-member countries were involved in the European Year of the Environment and that the Commission carried out information, education and awareness projects directed at developing countries;

Hopes that the information and awareness activities undertaken during the European Year of the Environment will have follow-on effects well beyond it and bring benefits and practical progress for the protection of the environment and of the world in which we live;

Calls on the Commission to take account, in the continuation of its information and education efforts, of the experience gleaned during the European Year of the Environment, of the need to cooperate with the Member States and of the advisability or not of associating with other interested bodies;

Emphasizes in this connection that, if Community environmental policy is to progress in both its framing and its implementation, there is a need for greater convergence of interests and attitudes on the importance of environmental problems on the part of public opinion and the sectors concerned in all Member States;

Calls on Member States to continue to strive towards the objectives which gave birth to the European Year of the Environment, in cooperation with the groups concerned and the Commission.

DECISION No 137 of 15 December 1988 concerning the application of Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 (89/C 140/03)

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 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, self-employed persons, and members of their families moving within the Community (1), under which it is made responsible for dealing with all administrative questions and questions of interpretation arising from Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and subsequent regulations,

Whereas for the purposes of aggregation Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 (2) lists the conversion rules to be adhered to, where appropriate, when periods of insurance completed under the legislation of a Member State are expressed in units different from those used by the legislation of another Member State;

Whereas it is clear from the system of equivalence of units provided for in Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 that the institution carrying out the conversion must take account of the data as transmitted to it;

Whereas it is necessary to specify how the data on which conversion is based must be used,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The period of insurance to be used as the basis for the conversion provided for by Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 shall be that communicated by the institution of the Member State under whose legislation the said period was completed.

2. This means that the conversion shall be carried out - either in one single operation covering all the periods, if these periods were communicated as an aggregate,

- or for each year, if the periods were communicated on a year-by-year basis.

3. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall be applicable from the first day of the month following its publication.
