Conclusions of the Council concerning an EU-level mechanism to help resolve disputes in employer/employee relations that transcend the national level

(2001/C 354/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

HAVING REGARD TO

1. the objective of the Community and the Member States under Article 136 of the Treaty of promoting dialogue between management and labour;

2. the importance of encouraging a positive approach to change, an attitude that lies at the heart of the strategy endorsed by the Lisbon European Council;

3. the task entrusted to the Commission of promoting the consultation of management and labour at Community level and of facilitating and supporting dialogue between the parties;

4. the rich and extensive social dialogue that has developed at European level both horizontally and by sector;

5. recent trends in the way that management and labour conduct relations within the European Union;

6. the importance of supporting the development of tools that can contribute to the better management of change and to the prevention and resolution of conflicts that may arise;

7. the increased interest in voluntary, non-judicial methods of dispute resolution such as conciliation and mediation which can be seen as quicker and less costly ways of settling disputes;

RECOGNISES

1. that, in the Member States, the key role of the social partners as the primary actors in resolving disputes concerning employer/employee relations is acknowledged and has been well established over time;

2. that, in addition, there exist in most Member States publicly provided non-judicial dispute resolution mechanisms to help resolve disputes with the collaboration of the social partners;

3. that such mechanisms contribute to resolving disputes at national level and thus play an important role in the existing systems of employer/employee relations;

BELIEVES, in the light of the success of these mechanisms at the level of the Member States, that it would be appropriate to investigate fully whether an EU-level dispute resolution mechanism might help to resolve employer/employee disputes that transcend the national territories;

WELCOMES THE COMMISSION'S INTENTION

- to deepen understanding of how dispute resolution mechanisms in the area of employer/employee relations in the Member States are organised and function, by undertaking a detailed study of the issue and widely disseminating its results;

- to continue its reflections in close collaboration with the European social partners and the Member States on whether a dispute resolution mechanism at European level might have added value and, if so, on how such a mechanism might function.

INVITES THE COMMISSION

- to report on the outcome of the consultation of the social partners on the need to establish, at European level, voluntary mechanisms for dispute resolution.

Following the Decision of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States meting within the Council of 17 June 2002, the communication 2001/C 374/04 relating to the opening of the quotas(1) is amended as follows:

3. Appendix 7 of that Annex is replaced by the attached Appendix 7.

All other elements of Communication (2001/C 374/04) remain valid.

Statement by the Commission (re Article 7(3)) In order to give full effect to Article 7(3) as amended by the Council Decision amending Council Decision 1999/468/EC, the Commission undertakes to adopt transparency measures to ensure that the European Parliament is informed simultaneously of draft implementing measures submitted to committees. By improving the register's functions, the Commission should enable the European Parliament to exercise its scrutiny fully, in particular through: — clear identification of the various documents covered by the same procedure, — indication of the stage of the procedure and the timetable, — a clear distinction between the draft measures received by the Parliament at the same time as the committee members in accordance with the right to information and the final draft following the committee's opinion that is forwarded to the European Parliament. In the field of financial services, in accordance with its commitment, the Commission will ensure that the Parliament is kept regularly informed of the committees' proceedings. The Commission undertakes to: (1) ensure that the Commission official chairing committee meetings informs the Parliament, at its request, after each meeting, of the discussions concerning draft implementing measures that have been submitted to the committees; (2) give an oral or written reply to any questions regarding the discussions concerning draft implementing measures submitted to the committees; (3) confirm to this end the undertakings referred to in points 1 to 7 of Commissioner Bolkestein's letter of 2 October 2001 to the Chair of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.

EU Action Plan on biological and toxin weapons, complementary to the EU Joint Action in support of the BTWC

(2006/C 57/01)

Introduction

The Council adopted on 27 February 2006 an EU Joint Action in support of the BTWC, including EU financial assistance. In addition, and complementary to the measures contained in that Joint Action, the EU hereby adopts an Action Plan on biological and toxin weapons. This Action Plan contains two measures to be implemented by EU Member States which do not require EU funding.

I. Efficient use of CBM

Purpose

The EU wishes to revitalise interest in and use of CBMs. Increased use of CBMs would increase transparency in implementation of the BTWC.

Description

To this end, all EU Member States will ensure the fulfilment of their obligation under the BTWC to file a CBM return each year, beginning with 2006 as a first step. Notably, the EU will ensure that the current nine topics, each of which has its own reporting form, are reported each year by every BTWC State Party of the EU. Submission of CBM's by all EU Member States on a yearly basis would allow the EU to take diplomatic action towards other States Parties to the BTWC to fulfil their obligations under the Convention. EU Member States will furthermore develop thoughts on how best to improve the effectiveness of CBM's in the context of the BTWC and discuss these with other BTWC States Parties.

II. Investigations of alleged use of BW

Purpose

The EU wishes to increase the effectiveness of the current UN Secretary General's mechanism for investigating cases of alleged use of (chemical) biological and toxin weapons. This mechanism is well established in legal terms, having received the endorsement of both the General Assembly and the Security Council. Separately the EU believes that the mechanism, which is now 15 years old, should be reviewed and updated as necessary.

Description

EU Member States will consider and volunteer expertise to the Secretary General in helping him update the lists of experts and laboratories that he may call on for an investigation. EU Member States will aim to submit information to the UN Secretary-General by the end of December 2006 and review and update this information every two years. EU Member States will keep partners informed of the steps they have taken to implement this action and will work with like-minded UN members to achieve this.
