CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 14 December 1989 on relations with Central and Eastern European countries in the field of education and training (90/C 27/04)

1. The Community and its Member States expressed their desire to strengthen cooperation with Central and Eastern European countries which intend to base themselves on the principles of democracy, pluralism and the rule of law. 2. The fields of education and training are of particular importance in this respect, both in order to develop closer links between the Community and those countries and in order to assist them in implementing the reforms initiated. 3. The Council and the Ministers for Education took note of the conclusions of the Strasbourg European Council in which the Council of Ministers was instructed to:- take the appropriate decisions to allow nationals of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe to take part in a number of educational and training programmes similar to Community programmes,-take, at the beginning of 1990, the requisite decisions for the setting-up of a European Vocational Training Foundation. 4. The Ministers welcomed the meeting they had already had with the Hungarian and Polish Ministers for Education. 5. They took note of the Commission's intentions in this area. They stressed that the detailed arrangements to be adopted, on the basis of Commission proposals, would have to take the utmost account of the needs expressed by those involved, of the bilateral action already undertaken and of the aim of ensuring that the Community's effort had the greatest possible effect. 6. They emphasized that decisions should be taken as a matter of extreme urgency so that specific measures might be initiated as soon as possible. 7. The Council and the Ministers for Education will continue to monitor the introduction of these measures with the greatest attention.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL

of 31 May 1990

on meetings of senior officials in the education sector

(90/C 162/03)

1. The Council and the Ministers for Education meeting within the Council re-emphasize the importance they attach to:

- improving mutual understanding of the various educational systems in the Community,

-ensuring continuous comparison of education policies, ideas and experience in the Member States,

-ensuring that educational reforms within Member States can be designed in full awareness of the experience of other Member States,

-the discussion of policy issues and problems which are of common concern to Member States so as to improve the quality of educational systems in the Community.

2. They reaffirm the usefulness of regular meetings at Community level between senior officials of the Member States contributing to the formulation of education policies and the Commission.

3. The chairman for these meetings will be provided by the country holding the office of President of the Council. The chairman will convene meetings on his own initiative or at the request of a Member State or the Commission. He shall submit, in consultation with the next two succeeding Presidencies, a draft work programme for these meetings to the Education Committee.

4. The Council and the Ministers recognize the contribution that can be made by the Eurydice network as an essential instrument for improving mutual understanding of the educational systems of the Community as well as providing information for the comparison of educational developments within the Community.

Furthermore, they also recognize the contribution made by the Arion study visits scheme for education specialists and administrators, which has enabled them to improve their knowledge of other European educational systems. They agree that this scheme could include themes of common interest arising out of the meetings of senior officials.

5. The Presidency will evaluate the experience gained on the basis of these conclusions and the follow-up to the meetings and will report to the Education Commitee and the Council during 1992.
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL

of 11 November 1991

on health and the environment

(91/C 304/06)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Treaties establishing the European Communities,

Whereas the quality of life is largely determined by one's state of health;

Recognizing that health and well-being are dependent on a number of factors, including the quality of the environment;

Considering the transfrontier nature of health issues related to the environment and the interdependence of countries in finding solutions; whereas the Member States, the Community and neighbouring countries should cooperate in that respect;

Whereas a knowledge of, and information concerning, the effects of environmental factors on health are matters to be taken into account in drawing up a health policy;

Taking account of national, Community, international and, in particular, World Health Organization projects under way in this field;

Emphasizing that it is important to ensure that health-policy aims are taken into account in Community policies;

INVITE the Commission, in close cooperation with the competent authorities of the Member States, to take stock of the knowledge and experience available in the Member States, the Community and international organizations regarding the relationship between health and the environment;

On that basis, the Commission will be able to examine:

- how to gather and exchange such knowledge and experience,

- how the available knowledge can be improved and how it can be made accessible and usable in all the Member States, within the framework of their health policies,

- how to promote efforts to clarify the links between health and environment;

INVITE the Commission to report to the Council on the progress of activities at regular intervals, and for the first time, including a report on the abovementioned stocktaking, before 1994.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS OF EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 25 November 1991 on quality assessment in higher education (91/C 321/02)

Improving the quality of teaching in higher education is a concern shared by each Member State and by every institution of higher education within the European Communities. The increasing importance of the European dimension in general and more particularly the introduction of a single market will widen the range of interested parties concerned with quality in higher education in each Member State.

In line with recent conferences at Community level on higher education (Leuven in 1989 and Siena in 1990) and recognizing that a significant debate is being launched by the Commission memorandum on higher education in the European Community, arrangements for quality assessment in higher education on a national level could be examined at Community level, with a view to reinforcing national quality assessment systems and to providing a way to improve the mutual recognition of diplomas and periods of study.

Given the diversity of method used for quality assessment on the national level, national experience could be complemented by European quality assessment experience, without affecting existing responsibilities and powers in the Member States and the autonomy of higher education institutions.

It would accordingly be useful for the methods at present used in the Member States for quality assessment in higher education to be investigated in a comparative study. This study could assist examination of the feasibility of developing a limited number of pilot projects aimed at cooperation in this area and possible instruments for strengthening this cooperation at European level, taking into account practical experience of international quality assessment, such as the method of peer review visiting teams. Participation by institutions in any Community arrangements would be on a voluntary basis. Work should be undertaken in close contact with other institutions and organizations such as the OECD.

The Commission is invited to undertake this study on the basis of information to be provided by the Member States, within the resources available to it and in consultation with a working group composed of representatives of the Member States and of relevant European organizations active in higher education. The study should be presented to the Council and the Ministers of Education by the end of 1992.

Statement by Denmark for entry in the Council minutes

In accordance with Section C of the decision adopted at the Edinburgh European Council meeting on 11 and 12 December 1992, Denmark does not take part in the elaboration or implementation of decisions and actions of the Union which have defence implications.

The Danish Government has decided that Denmark will not participate in future Council decisions following up the joint actions on anti-personnel landmines based on Article J.4(2) of the Treaty on European Union.

In accordance with the Edinburgh decision, Denmark will not hinder the development of closer cooperation among Member States in this area. The position set out above consequently does not prevent the adoption of such Council decisions.

INTERINSTITUTIONAL DECLARATION
In conjunction with the adoption of new Community legislation laying down common rules in the field of
civil aviation security the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission re-affirm theirdetermination to continue to strengthen the quality of aviation security systems in the Community.
The three institutions recognise that this policy development raises important questions in relation to its
funding aspects. In this context, while recognising the diversity of situations that currently exist in MemberStates and taking into account the policy position taken in February 2002 by the Member States of the EUat the Montreal Ministerial Conference on Aviation Security (
1) and taking note of the statement by the
Commission that it would ‘consider positively public financing for the compensation of additional securitymeasures’ (
2), the necessity to avoid significant internal and external distortions of competition is a specific
concern from a Community perspective.
The three institutions agree that this issue has to be analysed as a matter of urgency in order to identify
both differences existing in the Community over the funding of aviation security and possible solutions.
They take note of the intention of the Commission to undertake immediately a study (which will address
in particular the way the financing is shared between the public authorities and the operators, withoutprejudice to the distribution of competencies between the Member States and the European Community)and to submit to the European Parliament and to the Council the results and proposals if appropriate.EN L 355/22 Official Journal of the European Communities 30.12.2002
