RESOLUTIONof the Ministers with responsibility for Cultural Affairs meeting within the Councilof 13 November 1986on the conservation of works of art and artefacts(86/C 320/03)

1. The Ministers responsible for cultural affairs recognize the importance of conservation of the European cultural heritage in respect of works of art and artefacts of cultural and historical significance, including archives and books. European countries possess a wealth of cultural material which must be preserved and safeguarded for the benefit of present and future generations. The preservation of the architectural heritage is the subject of a separate resolution. The preservation of movable works of art and artefacts involves environmental protection and the restoration and repair of the objects just as much as their physical safeguarding. It requires the cooperation of all those interested in the artistic and cultural heritage, especially the international organizations and experts active in this field. The Ministers also recognize the usefulness of accurate information on the cultural heritage in order to encourage conservation. 2. The Ministers also recognize the need for public awareness of these questions to be increased and for cooperation between the public and private sectors to be strengthened. They acknowledge the importance of improving and intensifying training, the benefits of making available information on experienced conservators and conservation courses, and the value of exchanging technical information on conservation matters. 3. With these considerations in mind, the Ministers believe that conservation is a subject deserving careful examination within Member States and across the Community as a whole, taking account also of work being done within the Council of Europe in this field. 4. Accordingly, Ministers agree to encourage the conservation of works of art and artefacts, for example by such means as: - examining the scope for coordination of individual conservation efforts in the public and private sectors, -preparing documentation connected with conservation of works of art and artefacts of cultural and historical significance, -encouraging the provision of training to meet identified needs, involving public and private resources as appropriate, -exchanging information on conservation expertise as well as on training, -assessing policy on conservation, especially technical guidance in specialist fields, and facilitating the dissemination of such guidance and the exchange of conservation expertise in Europe. 5. They take note of the Commission's intention to contribute further to the realization of measures in this field.
RESOLUTION of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council,of 29 May 1986 on AIDS

THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,

Whereas AIDS causes much human suffering;

Whereas, in the fight against AIDS, all the Member States now have to and will in future also have to cope with similar problems;

Whereas the increase in cases of AIDS will lead to a significant increase in the already high costs connected with AIDS;

Whereas, in the present state of science, there is no vaccine or cure for the viral infection; whereas the development of an effective vaccine or anti-viral agent will probably require several more years; whereas research efforts in the Community and coordination of such efforts are therefore of special importance;

Whereas health information and education will make a decisive contribution towards containing the spread of AIDS and reassuring the public,

1. request the Member States and the Commission to examine what joint activities can be developed in the field of health information and education to bolster the campaign against AIDS;

2. request the Member States and the Commission to examine as well what joint initiatives should be taken to solve the problems of AIDS transmission by substances of human origin (such as blood, blood products, organs and sperm) and the medical, psychological and social problems of persons with a positive serology and in particular persons suffering from AIDS;

3. request the Commission to organize in this connection an exchange of information and experience and, if appropriate, to submit relevant proposals to them;

4. hope that the activities undertaken will avoid overlapping and will be consistent and coordinated with activities undertaken within the framework of other international organizations, and underline the importance of cooperation with the World Health Organization and with the Council of Europe.
CONCLUSIONS of the Council and the Ministers for Health of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on 15 December 1988 concerning AIDS (89/C 28/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL, 1. agree to improve and extend the current system for the rapid and periodic exchange of epidemiological data at Community level on cases of AIDS: - by stepping up the work of the ad hoc Working Party on AIDS, with the participation of the Commission, and the collaborating centre of the World Health Organization in Paris, with a view to guaranteeing the quality and comparability of the epidemiological data,

- while continuing to study the necessity and advantages of an exchange of specific epidemiological data which are as detailed as possible, such exchange affording guarantees for the protection of anonymity and of confidentiality,

- and including, in the exchange of data, information based on agreed criteria which will make it easier to assess the effectiveness of the preventive measures taken in the Member States and which will provide an early indication of the development of epidemiological patterns and trends (such as, for instance, rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, notification rates for sexually transmitted diseases, changes in sexual behaviour, etc.);

2. agree on the need to intensify efforts, especially through outreach programmes based on one-to-one counselling and support measures, to reduce the risk of HIV transmission amongst and from drug addicts. Such measures may include education and advertising campaigns, help and advisory services readily accessible to drug addicts, and access to sterile syringes and needles for drug addicts;

3. agree on the need for firms to prepare themselves to deal with the problem of AIDS in an appropriate and sensible manner which takes account of the fact that, in working relations and working contacts, there is no risk of infection, in accordance with the specific conclusions adopted simultaneously on this subject (1);

4. emphasize their interest in exchanges between Member States of qualified personnel, with experience in combating AIDS, and call upon the Commission to study possibilities of facilitating such exchanges;

5. instruct the ad hoc Working Party to continue its work in the fields referred to above, with the participation of the Commission, in accordance with the conclusions of the Council and the representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, of 15 May 1987 and 31 May 1988, concerning AIDS (2).

(1) See p. 2 of this Official Journal. (2) OJ No C 178, 7.7.1987, p. 1, and OJ No C 197, 27.7.1988, p. 8.
CONCLUSIONS of the Council and the Ministers for Health of the Member States meeting within the Council of 16 May 1989 concerning the reliability of tests on body fluids to detect the use of illicit drugs (89/C 185/02)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH OF THE MEMBER STATES MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL 1. EXPRESS their concern at the use of illicit drugs and its consequences for public health;

2. NOTE the increase in the screening of urine, in the Member States, for the presence of illicit drugs;

3. CONSIDER that it is important to avoid false positive results which may have undesirable consequences for the individual;

4. ALSO NOTE that the following difficulties may exist in certain cases: - screening and tests to confirm the presence of illicit drugs in urine involve the identification of the possible presence of a number of illicit drugs and their metabolites ; however, reliable reference materials are not always available and are costly to produce,

- the specificity of all the screening tests on the market is not always appropriate to the problems at hand and confirmation test methods can show significant discrepanies in specificity and sensitivity,

- several intercomparison programmes already carried out reveal the difficulties which often exist in carrying out such screening, and in particular the risks of false positive results,

- the need for adequate confirmation of positive screening results may not always be met,

- an increasing number of laboratories perform screening and confirmation tests, sometimes for commercial interests not always compatible with quality;

5. INVITE the Commission, with the assistance of a Working Party of representatives of the Member States, to examine firstly: (a) in what circumstances, for what purposes and the frequency with which individuals undergo screening for the use of illicit drugs by urine testing,

(b) what are the consequences for individuals of positive tests,

(c) to what extent such screening and confirmation tests and their consequences are compatible with the new circumstances which will apply with the establishment of the internal market;

6. INVITE the Commission, in the light of the results of the examinations referred to in 5 (a), (b) and (c) and after coordination with other competent bodies, such as the United Nations Division of Narcotic Drugs and the WHO, to assess whether it would be necessary or desirable to: (a) examine the criteria currently used for reporting positive results, including the need to distinguish between screening and confirmation,

(b) examine the existing quality assurance programmes,

(c) check on the availability of certified reference materials for illicit drugs and metabolites;

7. CALL UPON the Commission to report to the Council on its findings.
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS OF EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 25 November 1991 on education research and statistics in the European Community (91/C 321/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND THE MINISTERS OF EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,

Noting the need for a solid foundation of information, adequate statistics and comparative research to enhance the education cooperation which they instituted in their resolution dated 9 February 1976;

Whereas, to that end, it is desirable to:

- continue the exchanges of information and documentation, and exchanges of experts, already taking place under the Eurydice education information network, the activities of which have been defined in their resolution of 6 December 1990, and the Arion visits programme,

- step up efforts to establish adequate and comparable statistics on education in the European Community,

- make the best use of national research on education on subjects of value in European cooperation, and intensify comparative research in this area,

- facilitate the implementation of educational research projects for the promotion of cooperation at Community level and the dissemination of the results obtained;

Taking into account education research already carried out not only at national level but also by international and European organizations, both governmental and non-governmental;

A. Education research

ENCOURAGE wider dissemination in Europe of the results of the research projects at the level of the Member States and the Community and of international and European organizations on subjects which are of value to the Member States' education policies and which fall within priority areas for cooperation;

WELCOME the establishment of closer cooperation between research institutes, higher-education institutions and independent researchers engaged in research on education;

ENCOURAGE the organization of joint research projects in a number of Member States and of comparative research covering the whole Community, in priority areas for cooperation such as the enhancement of the European dimension in education and the learning of foreign languages;

CALL ON the Commission to collaborate in stepping up these three activities and to report back on the initial results before 30 June 1993;

B. Education statistics

ENCOURAGE the continuation and improvement of the Commission's action, notably that of Eurostat, in close cooperation with the relevant departments in the Member States, the OECD and Unesco. Where the existence of national statistics permits, this action could be devoted more particularly to the study of indicators and to the gathering of statistics in priority areas for education cooperation.
