'In the case of a coupled combination of vehicles, the 
Community authorization shall be issued in respect 
of the tractor; it may also be used to cover haulage of 
a trailer or semi-trailer which is not registered in the 
name of the holder of the Community authorization 
or which is registered in a different Member State. 
Such authorization shall cover the coupled 
combination of vehicles.' 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community and in particular Article 75 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas by its Directive of 65/269/EEC (*) as amended 
by the Directive 73/169/EEC (2), the Council established 
a system of authorizations for the carriage of goods by 
road between Member States; 
Whereas the application of Directive 65/269/EEC has 
revealed difficulties in the use of these authorizations in 
the case of certain coupled combinations of vehicles; 
Whereas the system of issuing authorizations in respect 
of tractors has administrative economic and legal 
advantages and should, in the light of the experience 
acquired, be extended to cover the use of coupled 
combinations of vehicles; 
Whereas Community-level uniform rules for the issuing 
of such authorizations are needed; Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1982. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States. 
Whereas Directive 65/269/EEC should therefore be 
amended, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: 
Article 1 
The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 1 
of Directive 65/269/EEC: 
'If the transport operation is carried out by a coupled 
combination of vehicles, the authorizations required 
shall be issued by the competent authorities of the 
Member State in which the tractor is registered. Such 
authorizations shall cover the coupled combination of 
vehicles.' 
Article 2 
The Member States shall inform the Commission before 
1 January 1982 of the measures taken to implement this 
Directive.

Proposal for a Council Decision concerning a plan for the transnational development of

(Submitted by the Commission to the Council 18 June 1982) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 235 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas, in accordance with Article 2 of the Treaty, 
the aim of the Communities is to promote 
harmonious development of economic activities and 
continuous and balanced expansion throughout the 
Community; 
Whereas the Heads of State or Government, meeting 
in Luxembourg on 1 and 2 December 1980, expressed 
the hope that efforts by the Member States in the 
field of industrial innovation would be better 
coordinated in order to improve the competitiveness 
of European products by making the best use of the 
dimension afforded by the common market; whereas 
they requested the competent authorities of the Community to examine ways of eliminating the 
fragmentation of markets and improving incentives to 
innovation and the dissemination of knowledge; 
Whereas it is primarily up to undertakings to develop 
trade in technologies and to promote their 
exploitation; 
Whereas, nevertheless, a resolute effort is required to 
promote interaction between technology, industry 
and the market at European level, so as to ensure that 
further economically viable innovations accrue from 
discoveries and inventions through utilization of the 
advantages of scale afforded by the European 
dimension; 
Whereas the Member States have developed 
specialized services in the field of research 
exploitation, technology transfer, information, 
consultancy and financing; 
Whereas these infrastructures are important for facili­
tating innovation, particularly in small and medium-
sized undertakings;

Proposal for a Council Regulation altering, with effect from 1 April 1983, the 
intervention prices for butter, skimmed-milk powder and Grana Padano and Parmigiano 
Reggiano cheeses 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 16 November 1982) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization 
of the market in milk and milk products ('), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1183/82 (2), and 
in particular Article 5(1) thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1184/82 of 18 May 1982 fixing the target price for 
milk and the intervention prices for butter, skimmed-
milk powder and Grana Padano and Parmigiano 
Reggiano cheeses for the 1982/83 milk year (3), and 
in particular Article 3 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1184/82 
fixed the guarantee threshold for milk for the 
calendar year 1982 at the level of the quantity of milk 
supplied to undertakings treating or processing milk 
in the calendar year 1981, increased by 0-5 %; Whereas the quantity of milk supplied to under­
takings treating or processing milk during the first 
eight months of 1982 was an estimated 2-6 % up on 
the corresponding period of 1981; whereas it can 
therefore be estimated that the increase in the 
deliveries in question during the calendar year 1982 
will be at least 2-7 % up on the calendar year 1981; 
whereas the measures referred to in Article 3 of 
Regulation (EEC) No 1184/82 should therefore be 
adopted; 
Whereas, as regards the additional expenditure, the 
percentage by which the guarantee threshold is 
exceeded must be offset by reducing the intervention 
prices by the same percentage; whereas, on the basis 
of the guarantee threshold being exceeded by 2-2 %, 
the intervention prices applicable with effect from 
1 April 1983 should be reduced by 2-2 %, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Sole Article 
With effect from 1 April 1983, the intervention prices 
for milk products shall be reduced by 2-2 %. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States.

Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the 
common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables 
COM(83) 665 final

COMMUNITIES; 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parl­
iament, 
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1035/72 O, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No ... defines inter alia the circumstances under 
which fruit and vegetables marketed within a Member 
State are exempt from quality standards; 
Whereas this exemption covers products marketed by 
the grower on wholesale markets situated in the 
production area and products consigned from 
wholesale markets to preparation and packing 
stations or storage stations situated in the same 
production area; whereas, however, Member States 
may adopt more restrictive national provisions; 
Whereas experience has shown that the above 
exemption means that large quantities of fruit and 
vegetables do not have to comply with standards; 
whereas such a situation is contrary to the objectives 
pursued by the Community rules on quality 
standards; whereas, to overcome this difficulty, the 
products in question should be required to comply 
with the standards but Member States should be permitted to grant exemptions to cover situations 
which may arise on their territory, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 is hereby amended as 
follows: 
1. The following subparagraph is hereby added to 
Article 3 (1): 
'Member States may exempt from the requirement 
to comply with quality standards or with certain of 
the provisions thereof: 
— products displayed or offered for sale, sold, 
delivered or marketed in any other manner by 
the grower on wholesale markets, in particular 
on producer markets, situated in the

— products consigned from wholesale markets to

modern farms, is the main instrument of the 
incomes policy in agriculture; whereas full advan­
tage cannot be drawn from such a policy unless it is 
integrated into the common agricultural policy as a 
whole, including a dynamic social and structural 
policy and the application to the rules on competi­
tion contained in the Treaty; 
Whereas the intervention price for paddy rice must 
be fixed at a rate which takes simultaneous account 
of the policy in respect of rice production and the 
use of rice and of improved farm incomes;
