CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 31 May 1988 concerning AIDS (88/C 197/05)

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

(1) note with satisfaction that all the Member States are pursuing homogeneous policies in the fight against AIDS in accordance with the common approach outlined in their conclusions of 15 May 1987 (1);

(5) reaffirm in particular their commitment to the following principles;

- since AIDS is a public health problem, the fight against that disease must be based on public health considerations,

(6) agree to pay particular attention to the problem of drug-addiction in relation to the fight against AIDS;

(7) take note of the Commission communication on Community activities in this respect and request it to include those working to combat AIDS in the exchange programmes for research workers, teachers, etc.

CONCLUSIONS of the Council and the Ministers for Health of the Member States meeting within the Council of 16 May 1989 on awareness measures for health care personnel (89/C 185/04)

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

EMPHASIZE that the behaviour of health care personnel towards HIV-positive individuals and AIDS sufferers plays a decisive role in the prevention and treatment of AIDS;

NOTE that the risk of HIV infection is slight and virtually non-existent if protective measures appropriate to the channels of HIV transmission are observed;

INVITE the Member States, where this is necessary, to: - encourage health care personnel to behave in the same way as they would for any other infectious disease in order to avoid any sort of stigmatization of HIV-positive individuals or AIDS sufferers, or discrimination against them,

- accordingly take the necessary steps to ensure that technical and training information is circulated to health care personnel at all levels and introduce or, where appropriate, improve psycho-social support for such personnel;

INSTRUCT the ad hoc working Party on AIDS to conduct an exchange of experience on the matter and report to the Council thereof.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE MINISTERS OF CULTURE MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 14 November 1991 on the promotion of theatrical events in 1993 (91/C 314/03)

The Ministers of Culture meeting within the Council note that 1993 will mark the bicentenary of the death of Carlo Goldoni and the four hundredth anniversary of the death of Christopher Marlowe.

These anniversaries could be marked by a series of events connected with the theatre in the Member States, in the context of the follow-up to their resolution of 7 June 1991 on the development of the theatre in Europe (1).

These could concern the following:

1. the calling of a European conference on the theatre in Italy in 1993, on the occasion of the bicentenary of the death of Carlo Goldoni;

2. special encouragement in 1993 of theatrical co-productions among producers of the various Member States;

3. promotion of closer contacts between theatrical schools in Europe, including the intensification of exchanges of teachers and students in 1993;

4. organization, if possible at the beginning of the 1993/94 theatrical season in each Member State, of an 'open door' evening of European theatres, so as to encourage a better understanding by the public of the world of theatre;

5. special efforts in 1993 concerning the above in relation to theatres in Central and Eastern Europe.

The actions should take place in full consultation and cooperation with international organizations, such as the Council of Europe, as well as with European and national professional bodies concerned with the theatre.

The Ministers invite the Commission to give all possible assistance in the preparation of such special theatrical events in 1993.

CONCLUSIONS OF THE MINISTERS OF CULTURE MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 18 May 1992 concerning the choice of European Cities of Culture after 1996 and the European Cultural Month (92/C 151/01)

The European City of Culture operation is now well established. The European Cultural Month will take place for the first time this year (Europe in Cracow 1992).

The conclusions of 18 May 1990 noted that a first cycle of designations of Cities of Culture among the European Community Member States would be completed in 1996. It was decided that after 1996 not only Member States of the European Community but other democratic European States should be eligible to designate a city as European City of Culture. It was stated that the first designations for the period after 1996 could take place from 1992 onwards.

In making these first designations the Ministers considered it appropriate, given that the field of choice of European City of Culture will be much wider after 1996, to set out some criteria for their own guidance and that of interested European states.

Without making hard and fast rules, they propose to alternate between current Member States (which will have had a City already) and other European States. Flexibility could be allowed between one category and the other for States which are expected to become Community members in the short term.

It will be advisable to avoid having cities from the same geographic area two years running, and sometimes a capital city will be chosen, at other times a provincial city. Specific anniversaries might be taken into account.

There may well be several candidatures at any one time, and this could give rise to frustration if cities have been chosen for many years ahead. It is therefore of great interest to continue with the European Cultural Month. A year or two of experience will be needed before its success can be judged. It should receive full support as a major European cultural event and should be thought of in the long term as a worthwhile alternative to the European City of Culture, which could be placed just as well in a Community Member State as in a non-Community country. It would be useful to review the situation after 'Europe in Graz 1993'.

Occasionally there might be twin Cities of Culture in a particular year, when two cities having affinities might want to harmonize their activities. Similarly, two cities might exceptionally want to share a year, each taking a different time period.

Decisions taken now about European Cities of Culture after 1996 should not prejudice any decisions which might need to be taken later about a second operation in the year concerned.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 27 May 1993 on the response to the Resolution on banning smoking in places open to the public

(93/C 174/02)

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

NOTE with interest the interim report from the Commission on the response to their Resolution of 18 July 1989 on the banning of smoking in places open to the public (1) and in particular the remarks made in the report by the Commission itself;

REITERATE that the Member States are invited to inform the Commission every two years on a common basis of the measures they take in this area;

CONSIDER that a systematic assessment at Community level of the measures taken would make it possible to take full advantage of the experience acquired and to draw appropriate lessons and guidelines for the future;

ENCOURAGE the Commission, in collaboration with the Member States, to include such an assessment in its next report.

RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL AND OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 25 January 1999 concerning public service broadcasting (1999/C 30/01)

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

(A) referring to the Council's discussion on public service broadcasting;

(B) considering the fact that public service broadcasting, in view of its cultural, social and democratic functions which it discharges for the common good, has a vital significance for ensuring democracy, pluralism, social cohesion, cultural and linguistic diversity;

(C) stressing that the increased diversification of the programmes on offer in the new media environment reinforces the importance of the comprehensive mission of public service broadcasters;

(D) recalling the affirmation of competence of the Member States concerning remit and funding set out in the Protocol on the system of public broadcasting in the Member States to the Treaty of Amsterdam;

NOTE AND REAFFIRM THAT:

(1) the Amsterdam protocol confirms that it is the unanimous will of the Member States to stress the role of public service broadcasting;

(2) thus the provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community shall be without prejudice to the competence of Member States to provide for the funding of public service broadcasting insofar as such funding is granted to broadcasting organisations for the fulfilment of the public service remit as conferred, defined and organised by each Member State, and insofar as such funding does not affect trading conditions and competition in the Community to an extent which would be contrary to the common interest, while the realisation of the remit of that public service shall be taken into account;

(3) the fulfilment of the public service broadcasting's mission must continue to benefit from technological progress;

(4) broad public access, without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunities, to various channels and services is a necessary precondition for fulfilling the special obligation of public service broadcasting;

(5) according to the definition of the public service remit by the Member States, public service broadcasting has an important role in bringing to the public the benefits of the new audiovisual and information services and the new technologies;

(6) the ability of public service broadcasting to offer quality programming and services to the public must be maintained and enhanced, including the development and diversification of activities in the digital age;

(7) public service broadcasting must be able to continue to provide a wide range of programming in accordance with its remit as defined by the Member States in order to address society as a whole; in this context it is legitimate for public service broadcasting to seek to reach wide audiences.
DECLARATION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

of 9 February 1998

on the abduction of minors

(SCH/Com-ex (97) Decl. 13 Rev. 2)

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,

Whereas the abduction of minors or the unlawful removal of a minor by one of the parents from the person to whom the right of custody has been attributed is a matter of real concern for the Contracting Parties to the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement;

Taking into account Article 93 of the abovementioned Convention, which declares that the purpose of the Schengen Information System shall be to maintain public policy and public security and to apply the provisions of this Convention relating to the movement of persons;

Whereas it is up to the State concerned to decide in accordance with national provisions whether an alert may be entered into the Schengen Information System on the abductor or the parent unlawfully removing the minor from the person awarded legal custody;

Whereas it is not possible to include the necessary information in the alert on the minor pursuant to Article 97 of the said Convention;

Whereas a uniform solution should be found so that a minor who has been abducted or unlawfully removed by one of the parents from the person awarded legal custody can be located and returned to that person as quickly as possible,

RECOMMENDS AS FOLLOWS:

1. Where a minor is unlawfully removed by one of the parents or by a third party from the care of the persons awarded custody it is advisable, in any event, to enter an alert on the minor pursuant to Article 97.

2. This alert shall be accompanied by an M form which shall be sent to all Sirene Bureaux and shall contain full details of the circumstances surrounding the disappearance as well as information for the identification of the abductor and the person(s) or institution legally accorded the right of education or the right of custody.

3. In the event that this information, for reasons appertaining to national procedures, cannot be sent as provided for under point 2, in the event of a hit it should be forwarded as soon as possible to the Sirene Bureau of the State which obtained the hit.

4. That the authorities entering the alerts into the Schengen Information System follow this procedure and send the relevant Sirene Bureau all the necessary information so that this may then be diffused via an M form.

5. That it is equally imperative that the authorities responsible for border control at the external borders systematically check the identity papers and the travel documents of minors. This is particularly important if minors are travelling in the company of just one adult.

6. That, as far as possible, documents should also be checked in the course of controls or similar procedures within the territory.
(8)

Correspondents to whom such a request has been submitted should do their utmost to reply to that request within a reasonable period, without obligation to provide a translation of the supplied documentation, such as legislative texts, (draft) legislation, reports and studies. If the correspondent to whom a request has been sent is not in a position to reply, he or she should pass the request on to the competent authority who would be able to do so, and inform the requesting correspondent thereof. Where it is not possible for a correspondent to reply to a request or to readily identify the competent authority, he or she should inform the requesting correspondent.

2010 amendments to Regulation No 38 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE) — Uniform provisions concerning the approval of rear fog lamps for power-driven vehicles and their trailers

Amendments to Regulation 38 published in OJ L 148, 12.6.2010, p. 55.

Incorporating:

Supplement 15 to the original version of the Regulation — Date of entry into force: 9 December 2010

Amendments to the main text of the Regulation

Insert a new paragraph 5.3.3, to read:
34.

The EU remains committed to the promotion, protection and fulfilment of all human rights and to the full and effective implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action and the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the outcomes of their review conferences and remains committed to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), in this context. Having that in mind, the EU reaffirms its commitment to the promotion, protection and fulfilment of the right of every individual to have full control over, and decide freely and responsibly on matters related to their sexuality and sexual and reproductive health, free from discrimination, coercion and violence. The EU further stresses the need for universal access to quality and affordable comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information, education, including comprehensive sexuality education, and health-care services. Gender equality Equality between women and men of all ages is critical for sustainable development. It has a multiplier effect in achieving poverty eradication and is key to unlock the development of democratic societies based on human rights, social justice and sustainability. Furthermore, gender equality is positively correlated with increased prosperity and stability and better outcomes in areas such as health and education. The EU and its Member States recognise women and girls as key agents of development and change, including their role in peacebuilding, conflict resolution and humanitarian response. Many women and girls still continue to be deprived of rights, resources and voice. Gender inequality intersects with other forms of exclusion. Promoting women’s and girls’ advancement and gender equality requires working with boys, men, girls and women to foster an understanding of rights, equality and roles in society. This also entails working with key actors in societies, such as teachers and religious and community leaders, to eradicate discrimination against girls and women. The EU and its Member States will ensure that the gender perspective is systematically mainstreamed across all policies as a key contribution to the successful achievement of the SDGs. They will accelerate their efforts to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women by deepening multi-stakeholder partnerships, strengthening the capacity for gender-responsive budgeting, planning, and ensuring the active participation of women and women’s organisations in decision-making.
