COMMISSION 
Re-examined proposal for a Council Directive concerning the side protection of vehicles (') 
COM(89) 200 final — SYN 87 
(Submitted by the Commission pursuant to Article 149 (2) (d) of the EEC Treaty on 12 April 
1989) 
(89/C 116/13) 
Re-examined proposal concerning the side protection of vehicles, following the opinion delivered by 
the European Parliament on second reading on 15 February 1989 
Procedure followed 
The proposal for a Directive at issue had been sent to 
the Council on 12 August 1987 (COM(87) 132 — SYN 
87). 
The European Parliament had delivered its opinion on 
first reading on 9 March 1988 by approving the proposal 
with several amendments. 
The amendments accepted had been included by the 
Commission in an amended version of its initial proposal 
that it had sent to the Council on 16 August 1988 
(COM(88) 443 final). 
The work carried out within the Council had led to 
a common position which had been adopted on 
18 November 1988 (doc. 9616/88 — ECO 105). 
The Commission had considered it appropriate not to 
obstruct this common position, and therefore to support 
it. 
In its opinion on second reading, delivered on 
15 February 1989, the European Parliament altered the 
common position in order: 
— to reintroduce the 'total' method of harmonization 
instead of the 'optional' method (Article 4 (1) and 
(2)), 
— to defer the date of entry into force, set out in Article 
4 (2), by five months i.e. from 1 May 1991 to 
1 October 1991. 
(•) OJ No C 230, 6. 9. 1988, p. 6. — to reintroduce the Advisory Committee procedure 
instead of the Regulatory Committee procedure 
(Article 5). 
Commission position 
The Commission does not feel it is appropriate to accept 
the amendments to the common position since they 
would delay, or indeed prevent, the adoption and entry 
into force of this Directive, which represents an unden­
iable improvement to road safety. 
While again expressing its regret on noting that the total 
harmonization method and the Advisory Committee 
procedure are still not acceptable to the Council the 
Commission does not, however, oppose the Council's 
common position as regards the method of harmon­
ization and the Committee procedure, but it has the firm 
intention of submitting subsequent proposals in view of 
the large single market in 1992. These proposals will 
relate to outline Directive 70/156/EEC in such a way 
that they may automatically extend to all of the separate 
Directives needed in order to implement the type-
approval procedure for a vehicle, and may include this 
proposal. 
The Commission sees no point in acting upon the 
deferral by five months of the date of entry into force set 
out in Article 4 (2) in view of the aim pursued by that 
Directive i.e. to improve road safety, which must be 
achieved as quickly as possible.

Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) laying down, in respect of hops, the amount of aid to

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 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common 
organization of the market in hops ('), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3998/87 (2), 
and in particular Article 12 (7) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliamant, 
Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 provides that aid may be granted to hop 
producers to enable them to achieve a fair income; whereas the amount of this aid is fixed per 
hectare and differs according to varieties, taking into account the average return on the areas 
in full production compared with the average returns for previous harvests, the current position 
of the market and trends in costs; 
Whereas an examination of the results of the 1988 harvest shows the need to fix aid for groups 
of varieties of hops cultivated in the Community, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. For the 1988 harvest, aid shall be granted to the producers of hops cultivated in the 
Community for the groups of varieties set out in the Annex. 
2. The amount of the aid shall be as set out in the Annex. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official 
Journal of the European Communities.

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 the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas Article 21 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1035/72 of 18 May 1972 (*), as last amended by Regu­
lation (EEC) No 2238/88 (2), lists the ways in which 
products withdrawn from the market under Articles 15b 
and 18 or bought in under Articles 19 and 19a of the 
said Regulation may be disposed of; 
Whereas nectarines were added to the list of products 
covered by the price and intervention system by Regu­
lation (EEC) No 223/88 (J), amending the aforesaid 
Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72; 
Whereas it should be possible for nectarines withdrawn 
from the market or bought in under Regulation (EEC) 
No 1035/72 to be disposed of in the same way as 
peaches by processing into alcohol; whereas, to this end,

provides for the fixing of common quality standards for

or exported to third countries; whereas kiwifruit already 
account for a substantial volume of trade within the 
Community and with third countries; whereas it is 
therefore desirable that common quality standards 
should be laid down for this product; whereas 
application of the standards should have the effect of 
keeping products of unsatisfactory quality off the 
market, guiding production to meet consumers' 
requirements and facilitating trade relations based on fair 
competition, thus helping to improve the profitability of 
production; whereas, to this end, kiwifruit should be 
added to the list in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 
1035/72, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. In the first subparagraph of Article 21 (1) (b) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, after the word 
'peaches', the word 'nectarines' is added.

quantity of milk and milk equivalent delivered to under­
takings treating or processing milk or other milk 
products in respect of the eight consecutive periods of 
the additional levy arrangements; 
Whereas an examination of the way the additional levy 
system operates has shown that the situation of certain 
categories of producers continues to cause concern and 
the trend in their production for forthcoming years 
requires further quantities to be found by means of an 
increase in the Community reserve; whereas in order to 
achieve the objective of production control, it is conse­
quently necessary to reduce the guaranted total quan­
tities of each Member State as from the sixth period of 
application of the arrangements,

differences in treatment in the Member States, irradiation of foodstuffs being allowed in 
some and banned in others;
