CALCULATION OF THE MASS EMISSIONS OF POLLUTANTS 
The mass emissions of pollutants are calculated by the following equation: 
M,CTM,S 
Mi = 0,43 + 0,57 • 
where: 
Mi = mass emission of the pollutant i (g/m). 
M icT mass emission of the pollutant i (g) during the first phase (transient cold). 
MjHT = mass emission of the pollutant i (g) during the last phase (transient hot). 
Mjs = mass emission of the pollutant i (g) during the second phase (stabilized). 
ScT = distance (km) which has been run during the first phase. 
SHT = distance (km) which has been run during the last phase. 
S = distance (km) which has been run during the second phase. 
The mass emissions of pollutants are calculated by means of the following: 
Mi = Vmix x Q. x kH x Ci x 10-* 
where: 
Mi 
V„ = mass emission of the pollutant i (g) per phase. 
= volume of the diluted exhaust gas expressed (1) per phase and corrected to standard conditions 
(273,2 K and 101,33 kPa). 
Q = density of the pollutant i (g/1) at normal temperature and pressure (273,2 K and 101,33 kPa). 
kH = humidity correction factor used for the calculation of the mass emissions of oxides of nitrogen. 
There is no humidity correction for HC and CO. 
C = Concentration of the pollutant i in the diluted exhaust gas expressed in ppm and corrected by the 
amount of the pollutant i contained in the dilution air.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard tot the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 128 
thereof, 
Having regard to Council Decision 63/266/EEC of 2 
April 1963 laying down general principles for 
implementing a common vocational training policy (1), 
and in particular the tenth principle thereof, 
OJ No 63, 20. 4. 1963, p. 1338/63. Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia­
ment, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas the tenth principle set out in Decision 63/266/ 
EEC states that special measures may be taken in respect 
of special problems concerning specific sectors of 
activity or specific categories of persons; 
28. 9. 87 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 257/29 
Whereas people with disabilities have specific needs in 
the field of vocational training and are accordingly a 
specific category of persons for the purposes of that 
principle; 
Whereas the Council resolution of 21 January 1974 
concerning a social action programme (*) provides inter 
alia the implementation of a programme for the 
vocational and social integration of handicapped per­
sons; 
Whereas the Council resolution of 27 June 1974 (2) 
established an initial Community action programme for 
the vocational training of handicapped persons; 
Whereas the European Parliament, in its resolution of 
11 March 1981 (3), stressed the need to promote at 
Community level the economic, social and vocational 
integration of disabled people; 
Whereas Council recommendation 86/379/EEC of 
24 July 1986 on the employment of disabled people in 
the Community (4) recognizes that disabled people have 
the same right as all other workers to equal opportunity 
in training and employment, and that special measures 
are needed at Community and national levels if these 
are to be achieved; 
Whereas the Council in its resolution of 22 December 
1986 on an action programme on employment 
growth (5) called for special provisions in training for 
the disadvantaged and disabled; 
Whereas the present action programme is designed to 
complement actions taken at national level, in particu­
lar by ensuring coordination and exchanges of experi­
ence between those actions; 
Whereas the activities covered by the present action 
programme fall outside the scope of the European Social 
Fund but can nevertheless provide a valuable comp­
lement to activities eligible for support from that Fund 
in respect of vocational rehabilitation and training of 
disabled people; 
Whereas the present programme and the programme 
adopted by [Council Decision ... ] to promote the 
social integration and independent living of people with 
disabilities are the two halves of a single Community 
action programme designed to build upon the previous 
Community actions in favour of disabled people; 
Whereas this action programme as a whole constitutes 
a positive response at Community level to the needs, 
aspirations and potential of the thirty million and more 
disabled people in the European Community, in the 
form of actions which cover all the services relevant to 
full integration and independent living;

(4) OJ No L 225, 12. 8. 1986, p. 43. 
(5) OJ No C 340, 31. 12. 1986, p. 2. Whereas the programme will promote awareness of 
the important contribution which new technology can 
make to improving the lives of the disabled, in particu­
lar their vocational opportunities; whereas the pro­
gramme will thereby also serve in developing the market 
for the relevant products of new technology, in line 
with the Commission's white paper on the internal 
market; 
Whereas both parts of the integrated action programme 
are designed to ensure that the Community will be 
able to continue to contribute to the World Action 
Programme established by the United Nations in this 
field,

ANNEX 
SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE COMMISSION IN THE EXECUTION OF THE 
COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAMME TO PROMOTE THE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION 
AND ECONOMIC INTEGRATION OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES (1988 to 1991) 
1. This action programme will be undertaken by the Commission in consultation with the Member States, 
the associations of disabled people and their families, the social partners, and the professional and 
voluntary bodies working in the field of disability. 
2. The activities undertaken within this programme will be coordinated by the Commission with those 
comprising the programme to promote the social integration and independent living of people with 
disabilities in order to constitute a single combined action programme. 
3. For the duration of the programme 1988 to 1991, the following measures may be implemented at 
Community level: 
(a) Community network of rehabilitation centres 
The restructuring and extension of the present network of rehabilitation centres established as a part 
of the initial action programme on vocational rehabilitation adopted by the Council resolution of 
1974, so as to make sure that its membership represents the full range of disabilities, including those 
whose origin is sensory or psychological, and that there is, as far as possible, a balance in the 
disabilities represented from each Member State. 
Centres which are members of the network are to maintain links with a number of other centres 
forming an 'outer network'. 
Centres may be appointed to the network by the Commission on the basis of proposals from Member 
States. Centres will be represented at network meetings by full-time rehabilitation professionals. 
The programme of activities will consist of group study visits, training sessions, seminars and 
conferences. The network will prepare and publish information, reports and professional guidelines 
for wide distribution. 
The Community contribution to the operations of the network is estimated at 385 000 ECU in 1988. 
Approved Community-level activities of the network may be supported by the Commission at the 
rate of 100%. 
(b) Networks of local projects 
The operation of a network of nationally identified local projects concerned with employment and 
vocational training, the projects being chosen by the Commission on the basis of proposals from 
Member States. 
The network activities organized by the Commission may include support for European conferences 
(in cooperation with national authorities); information, documentation and advice; study visits; and 
seminars for project leaders. 
The Community contribution to the operations of this local project network is estimated at 141 000 
ECU in 1988. Community support for European conferences will not exceed 30% of total costs up to 
a maximum of 25 000 ECU. Other Community-level activities of the kinds described in the preceding 
paragraph may be supported by the Commission at the rate of 100 %. 
(c) Subsidies to outside activities of European cooperation 
Operation of an annual scheme of grants to support activities of European cooperation undertaken 
by independent bodies, in particular associations of or for disabled people, and concerning vocational 
rehabilitation or employment. Though the percentage of the Community's grant will not normally 
exceed 50 % of the cost of the activity, higher percentage grants may be given in special circumstances, 
in particular grants to associations which are being or have recently been formed for the first time at 
European level. 
Grants may contribute to the cost of preparation and of dissemination of results as well as to the 
events themselves. 
The Community contribution to these activities is estimated at 240 000 ECU in 1988. 
No C 257/32 Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 9. 87 
(d) The Handynet project 
Coordination and further development of the Handynet project (European Community computerized 
information system on disability questions), in relation to vocational rehabilitation and employment, 
including the establishment of Handynet modules and gateways to other data bases in this field. 
The cost of coordinating and developing these elements of Handynet is estimated at 422 000 ECU in 
1988. The Commission may meet the full expenses of those activities which ensure the European 
dimension of the project, and, as the project proceeds and within the limits of its budgetary possibilities, 
may contribute to other participatory costs. 
(e) Coordination of exchange activities and documentation service 
Establishment of a group of experts responsible for assisting the Commission in the coordination, 
animation and evaluation of the exchange activities described above, and for the creation and operation 
of a documentation service for the benefit of the partners in these activities. This unit will also be 
undertaking similar tasks in relation to the social integration and independent living programme. 
The cost of operating this expert unit, as far as concerns vocational rehabilitation and employment, 
is estimated at 260 000 ECU in 1988, and the Community may contribute up to 100 % of the cost of 
this activity. 
(f) Preparation of policy proposals 
The Commission may establish the studies and organize the seminars necessary to form the basis of 
proposals or provide essential technical support to operations, in the field of vocational training and 
employment. 
The cost of studies and seminars to be undertaken in 1988 as a basis for proposals is estimated at 
40 000 ECU, with the Commission undertaking the full cost.
