RESOLUTION OF THE MINISTERS FOR CULTURE MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 7 June 1991 on the temporary access of artists of European Community origin to the territory of the United States of America (91/C 188/02)

THE MINISTERS FOR CULTURE, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,

Considering that the freedom of movement of performing artists both within and without the frontiers of the Community is an essential condition for the development of their careers,

Bearing in mind the reform of temporary immigration procedures adopted by the United States Congress on 27 October 1990 which deals in particular with the granting of entry visas to performing artists,

Concerned that in establishing measures for implementing this law, the American Administration should take account of the wish expressed by many artists, organizers of events and others in the entertainment industry for greater flexibility, simplification and speeding-up of the procedures for granting visas,

Recalling that the Member States of the Community have always accorded favourable treatment for access to their territory to nationals of the United States, and in particular to their artists,

ACKNOWLEDGE the intention of the Government of the United States to clarify and relax the conditions for granting temporary visas to performing artists,

REQUEST that from the outset of the preparatory stage for implementing the new law of 27 October 1990, the Government of the United States show due consideration for the proposals and wishes expressed by the sector concerned in the European Community,

HOPE that by this means the Government of the United States will play its role in the development of a genuine world market for the live performing arts, distinguished by the requisite spirit of reciprocity, in particular between the United States and the European Community,

INVITE the Commission to take account of this common concern and of any approaches made by Member States to the Government of the United States.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MINISTERS FOR HEALTH OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 15 May 1992 on hereditary illnesses (92/C 148/03)

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

CONSIDERING the importance of hereditary and genetic illnesses in the general context of health problems,

CONSIDERING the repercussions which such illnesses have, particularly on the economic and social levels, and the effects which they may have on future generations,

WHEREAS, in addition to research actions, the Community is already adopting in other spheres measures which contribute to the prevention of those illnesses, in so far as they are aimed at eliminating attendant risk factors,

WHEREAS cooperation with the international organizations active in this area and among the various national bodies may contribute to the increased effectiveness of resources and knowledge concerning all the problems connected with the prevention of those illnesses,

HAVING REGARD not only to the health aspects but also to the particular ethical, legal, economic and social aspects of those problems,

NOTE with interest the memorandum submitted by the Portuguese delegation concerning hereditary and genetic illnesses,

BELIEVE that it is important to enhance the role of epidemiological research on genetic illnesses in the framework of Community and international research programmes in the fields of biomedicine and health,

EMPHASIZE that the pooling of data and results from the various national and Community actions connected with the elimination of risk factors may facilitate the fight against hereditary illnesses,

CONSIDER that matters connected with the fight against such illnesses, notably the need for cooperation among the Member States, should be the subject of discussions in the context of future Community policies on health.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COUNCIL AND OF THE MINISTERS OF EDUCATION MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL of 27 November 1992 on criteria for actions on open and distance learning (92/C 336/04)

Following the Commission memorandum on open and distance learning, and the conference held at Coimbra under the auspices of the Portuguese Presidency, the Council and Ministers meeting within the Council on 1 June 1992 (1) confirmed their interest in receiving proposals in this area. With a view to assisting the Commission they now wish to clarify criteria for Community action in the field of open and distance learning.

Action taken by the Community in the field of open and distance learning should take into consideration the declaration of the European Council at Birmingham on 16 October 1992 and contribute especially to its development in those areas where it has yet to reach its full potential.

The Council and the Ministers of Education consider that Community action to support Member States and their cooperation in the field of open and distance learning should:

(a) aim to facilitate cooperation between organizations and institutions in the field, based on the sharing of information and good practice;

(b) respond to the need to enhance the skills of teachers, trainers and managers in the techniques of open and distance learning and facilitate the exchange of experience and good practice between Member States in this area;

(c) emphasize the importance of quality as an integral element of the proposed action, including the need for adequate tutorial and other student support services, and provision of accurate information to students including information on accreditation and recognition of qualifications;

(d) be developed in consultation with Member States, paying attention also to the views of user groups, providers and transnational associations active in the field;

(e) be developed with regard to the potential contribution of open and distance learning methods and technologies to conventional education and training activities, ensuring that such developments complement and do not conflict with other developments in education and training in Member States;

(f) encompass post-secondary education and training in universities and other institutions and organizations;

(g) focus on meeting users' needs and be able to demonstrate the special contribution that the techniques used in open and distance learning can make to achieving the objectives specified.

Experience in open and distance learning has been developed nationally, as well as through the work of transnational associations active in this field and through existing EC programmes, many outside the specific education sector. The Council and the Ministers of Education invite the Commission, with the help of the group of national experts appointed by the Member States to assist it, to review and report on current achievements in this field with a view to encouraging those which satisfy the above criteria. Particular attention should be given to the use of open and distance learning outside the scope of higher education, since these activities are least well known.

STATEMENT BY DENMARK concerning the Council Decision on the implementation of the European Union Joint Action on the Great Lakes Region

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

The Danish Government has decided that Denmark does not participate in the Council Decision requesting the WEU to elaborate and implement the action of the Union in the Great Lakes Region.

In accordance with the Edinburgh decision Denmark will not prevent the development of closer cooperation between Member States in this area. Accordingly, the position indicated does not prevent the adoption of the Council Decision.
