CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS RESPONSIBLE FOR CULTURAL AFFAIRS MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 18 May 1989 on books and reading with a view to the completion of the internal market in 1992 (89/C 183/02)

The Council and the ministers responsible for cultural affairs meeting within the Council held an exchange of views on the subject of books and reading with a view to the completion of the internal market in 1992.

With regard to taxation on books, after hearing a statement from the Commission they noted that the Commission was reflecting on the possibility of revising its present proposals on indirect taxation and excise duties in a manner which would, inter alia, provide scope for the lowest possible rate of VAT on books.

For the same reasons, they considered the prices of books and, in the absence of an alternative system acceptable to all, decided in favour of continuing national policies intended to ensure a balance between the interests of authors, publishers, booksellers and the public, while complying with the rules of competition.

In the same context, they stressed the role of small and medium-sized publishing firms that cared about publishing quality books, in order to ensure the vitality, originality and pluralism of publishing.

As regards questions of copyright affecting authors, they noted a statement from the Commission concerning its Green Paper on copyright and its intentions in this field.

By way of encouragement to authors, the Council and the ministers responsible for cultural affairs meeting within the Council decided to create an annual literary prize to be awarded in the context of the European City of Culture.

All general action concerning books should also involve libraries ; the Council and the ministers responsible for cultural affairs meeting within the Council await with interest a Commission proposal on the intensification of collaboration between libraries regarding data processing.

The Council and the ministers responsible for cultural affairs meeting within the Council also agreed on the importance of increasing public awareness of books and reading by placing particular emphasis on the use of television for that purpose.

Finally, they were aware that the existence of different language areas was an obstacle to the spread of books and culture in general in Europe, and that it was essential in order to overcome this obstacle to derive benefit from the diversity of cultures, and in particular those based on the less widely known languages in Europe. They drew attention to the practical actions agreed on 18 May in the resolution of the Council and of the ministers responsible for cultural affairs meeting within the Council concerning the promotion of books and reading. In particular, they noted the creation of an annual prize for the best translations of literary works, also to be awarded in the context of the European City of Culture.
CONCLUSIONS of the Council and the Ministers for Health of the Member States meeting within the Council of 16 May 1989 regarding future activities on AIDS prevention and control at Community level (89/C 185/06)

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

CONSIDERING the conclusions adopted hitherto at Community level on the fight against AIDS, and the ongoing activities and preoccupations in Member States, 1. CALL UPON the Commission to: - examine, within the framework of the internal market, the possibilities for technical harmonization to ensure that condoms available in Member States are of the necessary quality, and submit a proposal to the Council on this matter,

2.

CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 3 December 1990 on the safety of food and drink and water intended for human consumption (90/C 329/05)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL, Whereas, with the single market in prospect, the regulatory innovations so far introduced into Community rules under the Single European Act must be developed further to ensure the reasonable protection of public health in a system based on free movement of foodstuffs; Whereas, whenever Community harmonization is lacking or inadequate, the diversity of national legislation frequently gives rise to difficulties in trade and, at any rate, to an increase in disputes and may have adverse repercussions on public health protection; Recognize that the chief task of the Community in this situation is to take coordinated and thorough action to adopt as soon as possible, and at all events by the end of 1992, effective rules, particularly in priority sectors where a high level of health protection has to be attained; Consider that the implementation of such action must take account of the fact that the protection of public health has long been the basic aim of Community foodstuffs and water regulations and is not merely a question of adopting new rules but also of coordinating, updating and amplifying existing ones and guaranteeing, through effective, uniform application, that they are actually complied with; Recognize that the Commission must play an important role in the success of such action and that the Commission needs to take the necessary steps to bring unity to the differing approaches within the Commission itself, with precedence being given to the aim of protecting public health; Emphasize that, in order to ensure more effective health protection, uniform legislative principles and approaches should be adopted for the foodstuffs, agricultural and veterinary sectors as well as for the environment and the safety of water intended for human consumption; Emphasize the need for the involvement of the Council and of the Ministers for Health, inter alia adequate information, enabling a contribution to be made, in particular, by formulating general health objectives and criteria, to decisions in the foodstuffs and water sector on matters involving the protection of public health.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL on 15 May 1992 on nutrition and health (92/C 148/02)

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

CONSIDERING the importance of diet for people's health and well-being and the role of a proper diet in the prevention of various diseases and risk factors,

REFERRING to their resolution of 3 December 1990 concerning an action programme on nutrition and health (1), which provides in particular for a European Nutrition Year,

REAFFIRM the importance of such action which, in the context of future Community policies on health, will make a substantial additional contribution to action already being undertaken by the Member States in this field,

NOTE that the Commission is in the process of conducting a general examination of health issues and that it intends to takte the necessary initiatives as soon as that examination has been concluded,

CONSIDER that there should be continued discussion of questions relating to nutrition in the context of future Community policies in the sphere of health,

CALL ON the Commission to continue its studies in close cooperation with the senior officials designated for this purpose by the Member States.

RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 16 December 1993 concerning young drivers (93/C 351/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Resolution of the European Parliament of 12 March 1993 on a Community programme for action on road safety (1), which recognizes the need for a new, improved campaign of assistance for young inexperienced drivers and calls on the Commission to devote special attention to them;

Whereas in its communication for an action programme on road safety the Commission states that it will examine, on the basis of experience acquired by the Member States, the specific problems encountered by young drivers in traffic;

Whereas in this connection the Commission particularly emphasized the part which can be played by information and awareness campaigns and publicity as means of educating road users, within the framework of national road safety policies;

Whereas in the conclusions which it adopted at its meeting on 29 and 30 November 1993 on the said communication the Council drew attention to the need to focus in particular on the causes of the most serious accidents and on the categories of users most frequently involved in road accidents or victims of them;

Whereas young drivers of cars and two-wheel vehicles, as a result of their inexperience, constitute a particularly vulnerable group of road users,

AGREE that 1995 will be considered as the Year of the Young Driver;

CALL on the Commission to coordinate this initiative with the Member States within an appropriate framework, so that concrete and effective measures are taken to ensure that this initiative has the greatest possible impact on the public concerned.

Declaration by the Council and the representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council of 16 December 1997 on respecting diversity and combating racism and xenophobia (98/C 1/01)

Europe, characterized by solidarity and a rich cultural mix, is founded on respect for diversity and on tolerance.

All Member States, with the support of the partners in civil, social, political and cultural life, are continuously striving to build and maintain a Europe based on democratic principles and on the diversity of its cultures and languages, a Europe where social justice is promoted and the rights of minorities are protected.

In today's Europe there are, however, still racist and xenophobic attitudes which contribute to the disruption of social cohesion in the Member States despite all the efforts being made to counter such phenomena.

These attitudes have their basis in cultural and socio-economic factors, but are exacerbated by a lack of recognition of diversity and of understanding of others.

Europe has to fight all forms of racism and xenophobia and take action in order to achieve the ideal of a Union founded on respect for other people and on tolerance. In this task, education must contribute to improving the ability to live together and cooperate with one's fellow human beings.

The Council and the representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council:

- WELCOME the European Commission's initiative in proclaiming 1997 'European Year against Racism`. They note that this initiative has prompted numerous measures at every level of society, which have all helped to increase awareness of the wealth that lies in cultural diversity,

- STRESS that efforts deployed within the Member States must be intensified so that Europe's citizens, from earliest childhood, acquire greater understanding of and greater respect for other people. They consider that education in respect and tolerance forms an important part of the education of every young European,

- STRESS the importance of the role of education, which endeavours at all ages and at all levels of education to increase understanding and mutual respect among young people by helping them to come into contact with other cultures with an open mind and to approach diversity in a positive manner. School, which along with the family is the first place in which young people learn social skills, must be supported in its efforts to impart democratic values.

The Council and the representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, confirm the Resolution of 23 October 1995 and consider that it is of paramount importance to make the safeguarding of the values inherent in cultural diversity a fully integrated part of all education. Consequently they wish to join in the initiatives against racism taken by the United Nations by proclaiming 21 March each year a 'Festival of cultural differences` in educational establishments.
