PRELIMINARY  REMARKS 

The  Commission  submitted  on  21  August  1990.  its  legislative  proposals 
for  technical  adaptations  and  transitional  measures  necessary  for  the 
integration  of  the  former  German  Democratic  Republic  Into  the  European 
Community.1  The  Council,  the  Parliament  and  the  Commission  concluded 
on 6 September  1990, an agreement  whereby  the final  Council  decision on 
the  proposals  would  be  taken  only  after  Parliament  had  given  its  view 
on  the whole package  and  the detailed  proposals  in second  reading,  thus 
ensuring  consideration  of  Parliament's  general  and  political  views  on 
the  integration of  the former  GDR  into the  Community. 

At  its  22nd  October  session  the  Parliament  concluded  analysis  of  the 
package  and  voted  several  amendments  on  24  October  1990.  These 
amendments  were  considered  by  the  Commission  and  a  number  were 
incorporated  In the Commission's modified  proposal  presented  to Council 
on  25  October  1990.2  The  Council  adopted  Its  common  position  on 
30 October  and  sympathetic consideration of  the proposals on 7  November 
1990.3 

The Commission's  commentary  on  the  common  position  and  the  sympathetic 
consideration  of  Council  was  transmitted  to  Parliament  on  7  November 
1990.4 

Having  considered  Parliament's  proposals  for  amendments  voted  in 
plenary  on  21  November  1990s,  the  Commission  is now  In  a  position  to 
present  Its re-examined  proposal  and modified proposal. 

During  the  debate  in  the  plenary  session,  the  Commission  made  a 
statement  on  the  management  of  the  flexibility  clause  which  It  wishes 
to  have  recorded  in  the  minutes  at  the  final  adoption  by  Council.

1.  RE-EXAMINED  PROPOSAL  BY  THE  COMMISSION  FOLLOWING  THE  PARLIAMENT'S 
SECOND  READING  ON  THE  COMMON  POSITION  ESTABLISHED  BY  THE  COUNCIL 
WITH A VIEW TO THE ADOPTION OF A DIRECTIVE ON TRANSITIONAL  MEASURES 
APPLICABLE  IN  GERMANY  IN  THE  CONTEXT  OF  THE  HARMONIZATION  OF 
TECHNICAL  RULES.  (SYN 298). 

A.  The Commission  accepts  the following  amendments  voted  by  Parliament 
at  its November  session: 

amendment  No 68 on  the final  recital 
amendment  No 69 on Article 4(1) and  (2) 
amendment  No 4 on Article 5, third,  fourth  and  fifth  paragraph. 

B.  Amendment  No  1  to Article  1(1)  Is not  accepted  since  the  point  at 
issue  is covered  In the fourth  recital. 

The  Commission  cannot  accept  amendment  No  2  on  Article  1(3), second 
subparagraph.  It notes, however,  that  this amendment  Is redundant  since 
it  Is  covered  by  the  declaration  of  Vice-President  Bangemann  In  the 
plenary  session: 

"In  accordance  with  the  arrangements  agreed  with  the  Parliament 
concerning  the  implementing  powers  of  the  Commission,  the  Commission 
undertakes  to  communicate  to  the  Parliament  all  draft  implementing 
measures, without  exception,  that  are submitted  In the  framework  of  the 
"flexibility  clauses" set out  in the various directives  and  regulations 
relating  to the transitional measures on German unification  at  the same 
time  as  they  are  submitted  to  the  relevant  Committees  assisting  the 
Commission." 

As amendment  No 5 relating  to a new Article 5a was withdrawn,  amendment 
No 3  to  Article  2(3)  corresponds  in  Its  final  version  to  the  Common 
Position of  the Council. 

2.  RECOGNITION OF PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS  (SYN  299) 

The  Commission  takes  note  of  Parliament's  approval  of  the  Common 
PosItIon. 

3.  STRUCTURAL  FUNDS  (SYN 300) 

The  Commission  takes  note  of  Parliament's  approval  of  the  Common 
Position.

4.  RE-EXAMINED  PROPOSAL  BY  THE  COMMISSION  FOLLOWING  THE  PARLIAMENT'S 
SECOND  READING  ON  THE  COMMON  POSITION  ESTABLISHED  BY  THE  COUNCIL 
WITH A VIEW TO THE ADOPTION OF A DIRECTIVE  RELATING  TO  TRANSITIONAL 
MEASURES  APPLICABLE  iN GERMANY  IN THE  FIELD OF  WORKERS'  HEALTH  AND 
SAFETY.  (SYN 301). 

A.  The Commission  can accept  the substance of  amendment  No  16 on  a new 
Article  2a  amending  both  Article  1 and  2  In such  a  way  as  to  include 
Parliament  in  the  transmission  of  the  Information  and/or  reports 
concerned: 

Article 1 

The  Commission  shall  "inform  the  other  Member  States  and  the 
Par Marnent." 

Article 2 

"..other Member  States and  the Pari lament." 

B.  While  not  accepting  the  proposed  additional  recital  (amendment  15) 
the Commission  considers  that  the substance of  the amendment  is covered 
In the Council  statement  accompanying  the Common  Position; 

"The  Council  declares  that  the  integration  of  the  former  GDR  into  the 
Community  necessarily  involves  revising  the  different  headings  In  the 
financial  perspective  and  entering  the  corresponding  appropriations  in 
the 1992 budget. 

The  Council  notes  that  the  procedures  for  revising  the  financial 
perspective are under  way. 

The  Council  expects  these  procedures  to  be  completed  as  soon  as 
possIbIe." 

5.  RE-EXAMINED  PROPOSAL  BY  THE  COMMISSION  FOLLOWING  THE  PARLIAMENT'S 
SECOND  READING  ON  THE  COMMON  POSITION  ESTABLISHED  BY  THE  COUNCIL 
WITH  A  VIEW  TO  THE  ADOPTION  OF  A  DIRECTIVE  ON  THE  TRANSITIONAL 
MEASURES  APPLICABLE  TO  GERMANY  WITH  REGARD  TO  CERTAIN  COMMUNITY 
PROVISIONS  RELATING  TO  THE  PROTECTION  OF  THE  ENVIRONMENT,  IN 
CONNECTION WITH THE  INTERNAL MARKET.  (SYN 302). 

A.  The  Commission  accepts  amendment  26, sharing  the  Parliament's  view 
that  the  Issues concerned  fall  into the  sphere of  the  internal  market. 
The recital  should  be adopted  accordingly.

B.  While  not  accepting  the  additional  recital  (amendment  18)  the

Annex  A 

COMMISSION  DECLARATION  REGARDING MANAGEMENT  OF THE FLEXIBILITY  CLAUSE 

In  accordance  with  the  arrangements  agreed  with  Parliament  concerning 
the  implementing  powers of  the Commission,  the Commission  undertakes  to 
communicate  to  Parliament  all  draft  implementing  measures,  without 
exception,  that  are  submitted  In  the  framework  of  the  flexibility 
clause  (set  out  in  the  various  directives  and  regulations  relating  to 
the  transitional  measures  on  German  unification)  at  the  same  time  as 
they  are submitted  to the  relevant  committees  assisting  the  Commission. 

The  Commission  takes  the  view  that  any  entirely  new  measure  or 
significant  adjustment  of  existing  measures  Is  likely  to go  beyond  the 
framework  of  the  delegated  powers  in  the  framework  of  the  German 
unification  package  and  should  be  subject  to  proposals  In  the  normal 
legislative  procedures  for  adoption  by  the  Council  after  consultation 
of or  In cooperation with  the European  Parliament. 

COMMISSION  DECLARATION  ON  AGRICULTURE 

The  Commission  believes  that  an  Information  effort  is  needed  to  help 
East  German  farmers  and  farm-workers  to  make  the  right  choice  In  the 
adaptation  and  restructuring  effort. 

COMMISSION DECLARATION QN STRUCTURAL POLICIES 

On  structural  policies  the Commission  will  see  to  it  that  there  is the 
right  mixture  of  a  full  application  of  Community  legislation  and  the 
need  for  flexibility  and  simplification,  in  order  to  ensure  a  proper 
integration  of  the  former  GDR  territories  Into  Community  policy. 
Parliament  will  be kept  fully  Informed.
