Declaration by the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, concerning the continuing role of customs services after 1992 (90/C 262/03)

We note the importance and wide range of functions carried out in the European Community by our customs services. These tasks include: (a) collecting EC customs duties and agricultural levies on goods coming from third countries; (b)collecting national excise duties and VAT at importation; (c)applying EC and national licensing and quota regimes; (d)enforcing EC animal and plant health standards; (e)collecting statistics of international trade; (f)applying restrictions on exports, and (g)enforcing many import prohibitions and restrictions for the protection of our people (for example, in 1989 EC customs services were involved in the seizure of over 6 500 kilograms of heroin, cocaine and other hard drugs and over 133 000 kilograms of cannabis). The completion of the single market will bring about changes in the way that the customs services fulfill their duties as fiscal controls will disappear at the internal borders of the Community for freight moving between Member States. Travellers will cross borders freely. However, there is a danger that illicit trafficking in sensitive goods will take advantage of this open European Market. Recognizing this, and the expectation of business and travellers for freedom of movement, three considerations must be taken into account: - where specific measures are applied by customs services against drugs smuggling or similar threats to society (to the extent that these are permissible under national and Community law), checks must be unobtrusive, selective and highly targeted on traffic of greatest risk; -at the Community's external frontiers, effective control proportionate to the risk must be ensured at a uniformly high technical standard, and -cooperation between customs services and with other law enforcement agencies must be further strengthened. Customs cooperation has a long history: it goes back to instruments prepared by the Customs Cooperation Council (1953 Recommendation on mutual administrative assistance) and within the EEC is based on the 1967 Naples Convention on Customs Mutual Assistance and Council Regulation (EEC) No 1468/81. The new Customs Mutual Assistance Group 1992 (MAG 92) was set up to complement the work already done by the existing Mutual Assistance Group (MAG), to promote even closer cooperation between customs services of the EEC Member States and to seek measures which enhance customs' effectiveness. It is focussing in general on the customs problems resulting from the completion of the internal market, and is already working on a draft new Protocol to the Naples Convention. We welcome the work already done by MAG 92. We shall continue to support the Group's efforts and shall remain committed to the aims underlying the establishment of a single market in which customs will play, as before, an important and integrating role.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS OF EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL

of 31 May 1990

on the preparation of a new Convention concerning the European Schools

(90/C 162/04)

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

Taking into account the views of the Board of Governors of the European Schools,

Request that a draft convention should be prepared, codifying the Statute of the European School and the Protocol concerning the creation of European Schools, signed in Luxembourg on 12 April 1957, the additional protocols signed in Luxembourg on 13 April 1962 and in Luxembourg on 15 December 1975, as well as the accession agreements concerning new Member States beyond the original Six.

A working draft of this convention will be submitted by the Commission for examination by the Education Committee and the Permanent Representatives Committee (acting as representatives of the governments of the Member States), without prejudice to the regulations and practices existing in the Member States for the establishment of multilateral agreements. The Board of Governors of the European Schools is invited to submit any suggestions which experience in the operation of the schools has shown to be necessary. The new convention should be finalized by an intergovernmental conference at ministerial level, to be held before the end of 1991 and opened for signature, with subsequent ratification by the Member States in conformity with their respective constitutional rules.
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS OF CULTURE MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 14 November 1991 on arrangements concerning archives (91/C 314/02)

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

In view of the twofold role of archives as a basis for decision-making in the public sector on the one hand, and as a vital component of a nation's cultural heritage on the other;

In view of the increased intermingling of public records among Member States and between Member States and the Community, and bearing in mind the legislation concerning the opening to the public of the historical archives of the Community (1);

Bearing in mind that the European archival heritage provides an indispensable resource for writing the history of Europe or of an individual nation;

Considering that well-kept and accessible archives contribute greatly to the democratic functioning of our societies;

Considering that an adequate archives policy and efficient archives management create the conditions for the accessibility needed,

INVITE the Commission:

- to set up a group of experts appointed on the proposal of the Member States, for the purpose of examining to what extent greater coordination of archives policy and practice within the Community is desirable,

- to transmit a progress report by the group to the Council before the end of 1992.

Mindful of the need for complementary action and close cooperation with the ministers responsible for sport,

- reiterate their concern over drug use in sport and once more warn against the serious consequences for the health of sportsmen and women and against the harmful effects that such practices may have on the population in general and young people in particular,

-call upon the governmental and non-governmental bodies involved in the forthcoming Olympic Games in Albertville and Barcelona to pursue the efforts started and to take all necessary steps to see that athletes train, and events are conducted, honestly and fairly without the use of drugs,

-and appeal to all competitors in national and international competitions, and particularly in the Olympic Games to be held within the Community, to undertake - in accordance with the Olympic Charter - as an example to all sportsmen and women, and in particular to young people, not to resort to drugs or to abuse medicinal products when training for, and taking part in, these sporting events.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND OF THE MINISTERS OF EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 27 November 1992 on health education in schools (92/C 336/07)

1. The Council and the Ministers of Education meeting within the Council have taken note of a communication presented to them by the Commission on the implementation of their resolution of 23 November 1988 (1) concerning health education in schools. They welcome the positive developments that have taken place in the Member States and at the level of the Community.

2. They have taken note of the conclusions of the Council of the Ministers of Health meeting within the Council of 13 November 1992 concerning health education. They welcome the interest the Ministers of Health have shown in the Commission's communication. They acknowledge that whilst health education in schools is the responsibility of the Ministers of Education, wider policies on public health are the responsibility of the Ministers of Health.

3. They recognize that, in the light of the experience gained so far, the school setting offers numerous opportunities for promoting the acquisition of personal skills and knowledge which will develop well-informed young people, equipped to choose healthy lifestyles.

4. They therefore endorse the emphasis given by the Ministers of Health to the importance of close cooperation between health and education authorities:

- in planning effective health education in schools which reinforces and is reinforced by health education in other settings, and

- in explaining to young people the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

5. The general principles and the lines of action set out in the 1988 Resolution of the Council and the Ministers of Education continue to be relevant. These lines of action should continue to be pursued and increased, bearing in mind:

- the recommendations of the Commission's communication, including the need to facilitate the development and exchange of teaching curricula and materials,

- the need to pay particular attention to education on drug misuse and road safety, and

- the need to maximize cost-effectiveness within budgetary limits at the level both of the Member States and the Community.

6. As far as activities at the level of the Community are concerned, they invite the Commission to ensure full coordination of those aspects of its public health promotion activities that are of particular interest to the Ministers of Education.

7. The Council and the Ministers of Education welcome the cooperation that the Commission has sought with international agencies such as the World Health Organization and the Council of Europe. Such cooperation should continue.

8. They invite the Commission to make a further report on activities in implementation of the 1988 resolution by the end of 1995.

RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR CULTURE MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL

of 17 May 1993

on the Promotion of the Translation of contemporary European dramatic works

(93/C 160/01)

THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR CULTURE MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,

Recognizing, as part of the improvement of the dissemination of the culture of the European peoples, the need for wider circulation of contemporary dramatic works within the European Community, so as to enable decision makers in theatres and the broadcasting sector to present a more varied repertoire of drama from the Member States to the public of the other Member States,

Noting that potential producers of dramatic works may need to read these works in their own language before taking a decision on production, particularly when the original language of the work is a lesser spoken language in Europe,

Recalling the importance attached to the promotion of translation of dramatic works in the Ministers' Resolution of 7 June 1991 on the development of the theatre in Europe (1),

AGREE to promote the translation of contemporary dramatic works by playwrights of the Member States which have been successful in their country of origin; this should be organized within the pilot scheme for the translation of contemporary literary works established by their Resolution of 9 November 1987 (2), as an addition to it,

INVITE the Commission to assess any necessary steps for putting into practice such a scheme on the translation of dramatic works, including proposals for appropriate financing, and to propose an appropriate number of translations, into at least two languages, each year; the whole to be evaluated within the review of the main scheme for the translation of contemporary literary works, due at the end of 1994. They invite the Commission, in so doing, to take account of the ideas contained in a separate Presidency proposal to promote translation of dramatic works.

of 9 December 1999

on cooperation with candidate central and eastern European countries and Cyprus on civil protection

(1999/C 373/02)

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

In the context of the accession process of the candidate central and eastern European countries (CEECs) and Cyprus;

Recalling the Resolution of 31 October 1994 on strengthening Community cooperation on civil protection(1);

Building on the discussion at the 1996 Civil Protection Council;

Taking into account the view expressed at the fourth and fifth Meetings of Directors General for Civil Protection;

Considering that, in preparation for accession by the candidate CEECs and Cyprus, steps should be taken as of now to enhance appropriate links with them in the civil protection sector, so that, when needed, the civil protection structures of each side are immediately ready to collaborate;

Emphasising that cooperation on civil protection will not prejudice positions which the EU may take in the accession negotiations;

Believing accordingly that, when suitable occasions arise, every opportunity for contacts between the Union and the candidate CEECs and Cyprus and for pooling experience should be supported;

Bearing in mind the similar action already taken by some Member States bilaterally and in various international fora in which many candidate countries are to varying extents involved, action aimed at securing the introduction of best practices established on the basis of principles developed through Community cooperation on civil protection;

Whereas the activities referred to above contribute to improving inter alia the capacity for management of civil protection of the candidate CEECs and Cyprus and their level of preparedness in the event of natural and/or technological disaster, in the prospect of their accession to the European Union;

With a view to strengthening cooperation in the field of civil protection between the Community and its Member States and the candidate CEECs and Cyprus, invite the Commission to:

- assess the extent and nature of current cooperation,

- improve the exchange of information between the Community and the candidate CEECs and Cyprus, including as regards operational manuals,

- make appropriate proposals.
