OPINION OF THE COMMISSION pursuant to Article 251(2)(c) of the EC Treaty on the European Parliament's amendments to the Council's common position regarding the proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL relating to limit values for benzene and carbon monoxide in ambient air

- On 06 July 2000, at its second reading, the European Parliament adopted Council's Common Position with one amendment.

- This opinion sets out the Commission's position on the European Parliament's amendment in accordance with Article 251 (2)(c) of the EC Treaty.

2. Purpose of Commission proposal

The purpose of this Directive is to set limit values for the protection of human health for benzene and carbon monoxide as required under Article 4 in connection with Annex I of the Council Directive on ambient air quality assessment and management (96/62/EC).

3. Commission's Opinion on the amendment proposed by the Parliament

3.1. Parliament's amendment on second reading

Parliament's amendment adds to Recital 10 of the Common Position the requirement that air pollution in enclosed spaces, as well as in outside air, should be taken into account in the review due in 2004. Though the Directive exclusively addresses ambient air, the Commission agrees that all aspects of health effects should be considered under the review. Therefore the Commission accepts the amendment.

3.2. Amended proposal

The Commission will not prepare an amended proposal, but invites the Council to take full account of this Opinion, when considering the amendment proposed by the Parliament.

Having regard to Article 250, paragraph 2 of the EC Treaty, the Commission modifies its proposal as indicated above.

Amended proposal for a DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL concerning the production and development of Community statistics on science and technology (presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 250 (2) of the EC Treaty)

2001/0197 (COD)

Amended proposal for a DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL concerning the production and development of Community statistics on science and technology

1. Background

Reliable and relevant statistical indicators are needed for formulating and evaluating S&T policies in increasingly knowledge-based economies. The existing indicators are useful, but limited when it comes to measuring the production of S&T activities, the dissemination of knowledge and, more generally, the results of innovation systems. It is therefore necessary to devise a new generation of variables that will make it possible to keep track of these aspects.

On 27 August 2001, therefore, the Commission submitted a "proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the production and development of Community statistics on science and technology" - COM(2001)490 final, 2001/0197 (COD).

The European Parliament issued its opinion on 2 July 2002 (Doc. P5-TAPROV (2002)0338)) and proposed four amendments. The Commission accepts three of these.

2. Amendments

2.1.

The Commission accepts the first amendment, which stresses the importance of taking account of the regional dimension, in accordance with the NUTS classification, if possible.

2.2.

The Commission accepts the second amendment, which underlines the importance of cooperation with the OCDE and other international organisations.

2.3.

The Commission accepts the fourth amendment, which calls for more frequent reports.

2.4.

The Commission cannot, however, accept the third amendment as it stands. This calls for closer cooperation and increased consultation with the Helsinki group, for legal reasons. The Commission nevertheless acknowledges and stresses the importance of the statistical work of that group and undertakes to continue its fruitful cooperation with it. The Commission will also reaffirm this commitment by having a Commission declaration included in the Council minutes when the Decision is adopted.

3. Conclusion

Under Article 250(2) of the EC Treaty, the Commission amends its proposal as described.
