Exclusion of a Member

Following  the  incident  in  the  Chamber  the  previous  evening
(Minutes  of  that  sitting,  Part  I,  Item  23),  the  President
announced  that  he  was  obliged  to  take  a  painful  decision,  in
view of the seriousness of the matter, and read out Rule 110(1).

He therefore moved that Parliament pass a vote of censure on
Mr  Rosado  Fernandes,  involving  immediate  exclusion  from
the Chamber and suspension for two days.

Mr Rosado Fernandes replied that he was not proud of what
had  happened  the  previous  evening,  that  he  deserved  the
sanction  which  Parliament  might  vote  to  inflict  on  him,  and
explained that he had acted as he had done because he had been
the victim of a provocation.

Pursuant to Rule 110(3) the President held an electronic vote
on  his  motion  to  exclude  Mr  Rosado  Fernandes  from  the
Chamber for two days.

Votes  were  cast  as  follows:  Members  voting:  351;  for:  235;
against: 79; abstentions: 37.

The motion was therefore approved.

The  President  asked  Mr  Rosado  Fernandes  to  leave  the
Chamber: the latter did so.

The following spoke:

› Mr  Ha¤nsch,  who  noted  that  Mr  Rosado  Fernandes  had
spoken and left the Chamber to applause from members of his
group  and  felt  that  the  President  should  have  expressed
solidarity with Mr Blak, the victim of the attack in question;

› Mr Giansily who, on behalf of the UPE Group, in view of
the importance of the forthcoming vote on the budget, and the
severe sanction adopted against a member of his group, asked
for the sitting to be suspended for a few minutes to enable his
group to hold a meeting (in view of the length and importance
of the vote in question, the President declined his request).

The following spoke:

› Mr  Le  Gallou,  who  said  that  he  had  discovered  that
morning that Parliament had issued a commemorative envel-
ope  of  Georges  Marchais,  former  secretary-general  of  the
French Communist Party, whose activity he condemned, and
asked on what basis this issue had been decided (the President
replied  that  the  issue  was  the  work  of  a  private  firm,  not  of
Parliament);

› Mr Puerta, chairman of the GUE/NGL Group, who, with
reference to the previous speaker(cid:146)s remarks, defended Mr Mar-
chais(cid:146)  memory  and  rejected  Mr  Le  Gallou(cid:146)s  assertions
(the President said that he deemed the incident closed);

› Mr Lataillade, who expressed concern at claims originat-
ing  within  Parliament  of  financial  corruption  and  asked  the
President to give the House all the documentation concerning
those  involved  in  any  way  in  the  design  and  construction  of
Parliament(cid:146)s  buildings  in  Brusssels,  so  that  libellous  accusa-
tions which might provoke Members to understandable though
inadmissible  reactions  of  anger  could  be  avoided;  he  also
asked him to remind group chairmen that any accusations had
to be backed up with evidence (the President said that he would
forward this request to the Conference of Presidents).

2.  Referral to committees

The  Committee  on  External  Economic  Relations  would  be
drawing  up  a  report  pursuant  to  Rule  90(5)  on  the  OECD
negotiations on a multilateral agreement on investment (asked
for opinions: ECON, LEGA, DEVE, ESOC, ENVI, CULT and
FISH).

The following matters had been referred to the Rules Commit-
tee:

›  a  letter  by  Mr  Berthu  on  allowing  Members  to  give
explanations of vote for the establishment of Parliament(cid:146)s
calendar of part-sessions,

› 

the question of revising Parliament(cid:146)s Rules of Procedure
with a view to adapting them to the Amsterdam Treaty.

ECSC operating budget (vote) (1)

ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENDITURE  OF  THE  INSTITU-
TIONS

The next item was the vote on:

› 

the 1998 draft budget, modified by the Council;

› 

the  motion  for  a  resolution  in  the  report  drawn  up  by
Mr Tillich and Mr Tomlinson, on behalf of the Committee
on Budgets, on the draft budget of the European Union for
the  financial  year  1998  as  modified  by  the  Council
(all sections) and on Letter of Amendment No 1/98 to the
preliminary draft budget for 1998, Section III › Commis-
sion (C4-0645/97) (A4-0390/97);

› 

the  motion  for  a  resolution  in  the  report  drawn  up  by
Mr Giansily, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, on
the draft ECSC operating budget for 1998 (SEC(97)0933
› C4-0270/97) (A4-0409/97).

The President explained the voting procedure.

(a)  Amendments to the 1998 draft budget

(Qualified majority)

Mr  Tillich,  rapporteur,  asked  for  technical  corrections  to  be
made to amendments 1 and 36 (in am. 1, the reference to the
previous  week(cid:146)s  European  Council  was  to  be  deleted  and  in
am.  36  he  wanted  a  sentence  which  contradicted  current
Community decisions to be corrected).

The following spoke: Mr Samland, chairman of the Committee
on  Budgets,  who  said  that  the  rapporteur(cid:146)s  proposal  (cid:145)merely
concerned an asterisk, not the reserve(cid:146), and Mr Dell(cid:146)Alba, on
behalf of the ARE Group, who did not agree with the view that
the  rapporteur(cid:146)s  proposed  change  to  am.  36  was  merely
technical, and received support from more than 12 Members.

Under  Rule  124(6),  the  President  decided,  in  view  of  this
opposition,  not  to  take  account  of  the  correction  to  am.  36,
which he treated as an oral amendment.

Amendments withdrawn: 52; 60; 65

SECTION III › COMMISSION

Amendments  adopted:  block  1  (61,  62,  63);  block  2  (100);
block 3 (6, 85 to 91, 14, 15, 107, 108, 18, 109, 106, 92, 110, 23,
111, 93, 26, 27, 94, 95, 30, 31, 96, 33 to 40, 97, 98, 99, 44, 45,
46, 101 to 104, 51, 53, 54); 105 (separate vote); block 4 (56 to
59)

The following spoke during the vote

› Mrs  Mu¤ller,  on  behalf  of  the  V  Group,  on  the  vote  in  a
single amendment on heading 3.

Amendments adopted: block 5 (1 to 5)

SECTION IV › COURT OF JUSTICE

Amendments adopted: block 6 (67 to 72)

SECTION  VI  ›  ECONOMIC  AND  SOCIAL  COMMITTEE
AND COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS

Amendments adopted: block 7 (73 to 84)

After voting on the amendments to the draft general budget for
1998 had been completed, the President asked the Council the
following question:

(cid:145)Can the Council agree with Parliament on the new minimum
rate of increase in expenditure in the light of our discussions?(cid:146)

Mr Fischbach, President- in-Office of the Council, answered:

that 

the  Presidency 

(cid:145)Yes  Mr  President.  I  would  like  to  tell  you  and  all  the
honourable  Members 
is  obviously
delighted with the overall agreement we have reached on the
1998 budget. This is a good budget. It is a good budget because
it  is  the  result  of  a  good  understanding  between  the  two
authorities, the two branches of budget authority, but also and
more  importantly  the  result  of  close  cooperation,  based  on
mutual trust between the Council and Parliament, and today(cid:146)s
result  has  been  achieved  essentially  thanks  to  Parliament,  its
Committee on Budgets, the Chairman of that Committee and
two  rapporteurs,  Mr  Tillich  and  Mr  Tomlinson,  whose  com-
mitment, enthusiasm and loyalty I have appreciated throughout
this budgetary procedure.

Mr  President,  I  would  also  like  to  conclude  by  thanking  the
Commission and in particular Commissioner Liikanen and his
colleagues for their efforts which made a decisive contribution
to this overall agreement. My sincere thanks to you all.(cid:146)

The President noted that there was full agreement on the 1998
budget which was therefore finally adopted.

He  therefore  asked  the  President-in-Office  of  the  Council,
Mr  Fischbach,  Commissioner  Liikanen,  Mr  Samland,  Chair-
man  of  the  Committee  on  Budgets,  and  Mr  Tomlinson  and
Mr Tillich, rapporteurs, to join him and then proceeded to sign
the budget.

C.  whereas  the  draft  budget  was  established  with  regard  for  the  new  employment  initiative  of  the
European Union and the employment measures of the Member States, as well as the budgetary rigour
called for by the Member States, in order to enable them to better adapt to the convergence criteria
leading to economic and monetary union as of 1999,

General approach

Approves the budget decisions to provide adequate funding for the major priorities designated by

1.
Parliament and by Council at their first readings while respecting budgetary rigour:

› 

initiating  the  three-year  employment  initiative,  called  for  by  Parliament,  and  agreed  at  the  special
European Council at Luxembourg on 21 November 1997;

›  ensuring tight budget targets in view of the need to respect the criteria for economic and monetary
union and the single currency, by agreeing reductions of payment appropriations below Parliament(cid:146)s
first reading;

›  continuing funding of the programme for peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland;

›  strengthening the Socrates programme for educational cooperation;

› 

identifying and consolidating pre-accession measures;

›  bringing together and reinforcing measures to promote human rights and democracy;

› 

introducing a new approach for EU subsidies with more transparent criteria;

Notes  that  the  European  Council  in  Luxembourg,  having  heard  the  President  of  Parliament,
2.
welcomed Parliament(cid:146)s initiative providing for the strengthening of budgetary resources earmarked for
employment, a move given a positive reception by the Council; formalizes the agreement with the Council
by  adopting  the  necessary  budgetary  decision;  expects  the  Commission  to  make  proposals,  as  soon  as
possible, for necessary legal bases for the initiative providing for new financial instruments to support
innovatory  and  job-creating  small  and  medium-sized  enterprises,  including  craft  enterprises,  in
accordance  with  the  conclusions  of  the  third  European  Conference  of  crafts  and  small  businesses
(cid:145)Employment through Innovation(cid:146), so that the Council can adopt them speedily (1);

Notes  that  the  Commission  will  introduce  in  due  course  a  preliminary  draft  supplementary  and
3.
amending budget if payments, and in the case of category 1 commitment appropriations as well, appear to
be insufficient and that the budgetary authority will examine this PDSAB favourably; notes that this may
arise because of the Council reductions in commitment and payment appropriations of ECU 550 million in
category 1 and payment appropriations of ECU 550 million in categories 3 and 4, which is endorsed by
Parliament  on  this  clear  condition;  urges  the  Commission  to  ensure  that  the  1998  budget  is  fully
implemented in accordance with Article 205 of the EC Treaty and to take appropriate account of these
budget decisions in its 1998 legislative programme;

4.
In order to monitor the payments, requests the Commission to present the evolution of payments for
each budget line on a monthly basis, together with a forecast of budget implementation to be presented to
the budgetary authority before the conciliation meeting in July 1998;

5.
Is of the opinion that its decisions on the 1998 budget have followed the guidelines expressed in its
above-mentioned resolution of 13 March 1997, and, as far as possible, have taken account of the Council
and Commission guidelines;

6.
Expects the informal conciliation with Council early in 1998 to encourage the setting of realistic joint
budget targets, help prepare an open and cooperative posture by both arms of the budgetary authority, and
address  the  longer-term  financing  issues  that  will  arise  from  the  processes  of  economic  and  monetary
union and of enlargement;

(1)  Paragraphs  47  and  48  of  the  Presidency(cid:146)s  conclusions,  which  state:  (cid:145)These  new  instruments  must  reinforce  the  European
Technology Facility, financed by the European Investment Bank and administered by the European Investment Fund, by opening a
(cid:145)risk capital window(cid:146), support the creation of transnational joint ventures and establish within the European Investment Fund a
special  guarantee  fund  to  facilitate  risk-taking  by  institutions  providing  finance  for  small  and  medium-sized  enterprises.
The European Council invites the Commission to submit examples of good practice concerning the functioning of these measures,
based on Member States(cid:146) experience.(cid:146)

7. Welcomes  Letter  of  Amendment  No  1/98,  which  responds  to  Parliament(cid:146)s  requests  in  the
agricultural sector, following the agreement at the trialogue of 8 April 1997; calls for agreement between
Parliament, Council and Commission on continuing the procedure on agricultural expenditure success-
fully followed this year, after a trialogue to be held no later than March 1998;

8.
Urges the Member States to re-examine and improve the collection of revenue contributing to the
Union(cid:146)s budget, in accordance with the recent recommendations by the Court of Auditors, and with the
conclusions  of  the  Committee  of  Inquiry  into  the  Community  transit  system,  so  as  to  avoid  the  high
wastage that currently occurs, and to enable the budgetary authority to meet needs better without making
excessive demands on the fourth resource;

9.
Is aware that, in this final programming period, ensuring the full implementation, monitoring and
assessment of Community support frameworks and single programming documents for the programmes
and projects under the Structural Funds, Community support frameworks, the Community initiatives and
the  Cohesion  Fund  will  be  a  priority  for  Parliament  and  asks  the  Commission  to  present  detailed
information on job creation initiatives in Objective 2 areas and the real expectations for the next two years;

10. Welcomes  the  agreement  reached  by  the  two  arms  of  the  budgetary  authority  to  allocate
supplementary funding of ECU 70 million for the Socrates programme in 1998 and 1999, currently being
examined under the codecision procedure; expects this to speed up successful conclusion of the legislative
conciliation procedure before the end of December 1997; remarks that the budgetary authority has thus
reduced  the  risk  of  further  delays  in  the  legislation  harming  the  full  implementation  of  this  popular
programme;

11.
Notes that, after the meeting between the representatives of the institutions at the highest level a
sustainable  strategy  for  a  common  information  policy  aimed  at  better  informing  the  European  citizen
should be set out before 31 March 1998; requests that a Commission two-part strategy paper be submitted
to Parliament and to Council on the future of JET, the first by 31 March 1998, addressing the detailed
administrative and budgetary issues, and the second before 1 May 1998, in the form of an evaluation study
of the various elements of the future programme, including JET, drawn up by independent experts;

12.
Approves the decision to place against the corresponding heading the funding for the controlled
nuclear fusion programme, except ECU 3,6 million in the reserve pending a possible settlement of the staff
dispute at the JET; agrees to the transfer of 25 JET Euratom posts to the fusion programme and to the
maintenance  of  the  reserve  list  of  candidates,  due  to  lapse  at  the  end  of  1997,  until  the  end  of  1999;
requests the Commission to forward as soon as possible its proposals to modify the JET statutes in the
terms required by the Court of First Instance(cid:146)s judgement of 12 December 1996, and to take additional
measures in the area of staff policy and recruitment, in order to fulfil the obligations resulting from joined
Cases T-177/94 and T-377/94;

13.
Is  concerned  about  the  reported  implementation  difficulties  concerning  EU  funding  for  actions
which  correspond  to  the  stated  priorities  in  Bosnia-Herzegovina,  in  particular  the  return  of  refugees;
confirms  its  first-reading  decision  to  leave  30%  of  the  appropriations  in  the  reserve  for  reconstruction
activities; invites its competent authorities to examine rapidly and favourably the sending in early 1998 of
a four Member ad hoc delegation from the competent organs, including the Committee on Budgets and the
Committee on Budgetary Control, to evaluate on the ground the financial and administrative problems
concerning this aid with the authorities in the area;

14. Welcomes the outline agreement on the funding allocation to the EBRD for the Union contribution
to  the  Chernobyl  Shelter  Plan,  approving  the  Council(cid:146)s  decision  to  enter  ECU  25  million  for  Article
B7-536  in  the  reserve  and  confirming  that  the  appropriations  will  be  released  once  the  legal  basis  is
adopted, after the verification of specific conditions linked to the technical implementation of the plan and
to payments to the fund by other donors; adds to the remarks of Article B7-520 a comment permitting
appropriations up to a maximum amount of ECU 25 million to be used to cover the expenditure referred to
in Article B7-536 through transfer; underlines that the total amount to be allocated to this action shall not
exceed ECU 100 million over the eight-year period of the programme and that the nuclear safety sector
under the Tacis programme shall not exceed 13% of the total appropriations in 1998;

Expects budget management to be improved by the prompt application, by the Commission and by
the Member State administrations, of the recommendations adopted under the SEM 2000 programme and,
as far as the staff of the institution is concerned, those of the MAP 2000 programme;

Reserves

Decides to place appropriations in the reserve in respect of 23 lines, so as to supervise closely the
16.
implementation of these lines during the 1998 financial year (see Annex I); refers to the conditions for
their release as indicated in the amendments it has adopted; agrees to release the appropriations once the
conditions it has set have been fulfilled;

Repeats  its  call  to  the  Commission  to  submit  all  transfers  of  appropriations  entered  in  Chapter
17.
B0-40 for specific lines, as far as possible before 15 September 1998; calls on the Commission to notify
the budgetary authority in full no later than 10 days prior to the latter(cid:146)s deliberations thereon; points out
that such proposals for transfers must be submitted separately from the Notenboom-Bourlanges global
transfer,  the  procedure  for  which  must  be  revised  and  which  might,  for  example,  be  replaced  by  a
supplementary and amending budget proposed in the last four months of the year;

Commits  itself  to  evaluating  interinstitutional  cooperation,  and  to  encouraging  it  in  identified

18.
priority areas so as to achieve the synergy and savings that have been forecast;

19.
Commits itself to watching closely the implementation of the new system for subsidies from the
Union  budget  (Part  A  of  the  budget)  and  insists  that  internal  procedures  be  improved  so  as  to  avoid
duplication of subsidy from the two parts of the budget;

Other institutions(cid:146) budgets

20.
Notes that, apart from the amendments made by Parliament to its own budget and to that of the
Ombudsman, the Council has, for the first time, endorsed Parliament(cid:146)s first reading of the draft budget
(other institutions) without amendment;

21. Welcomes  that  outcome,  which  it  regards  as  consent  to  a  common  reading  of  the  institutions(cid:146)
administrative expenditure;

22.
Is of the opinion that a single reading ought to give the institutions concerned greater leeway, in
terms of time, and therefore invites them to take this opportunity to improve their budget implementation
plan;

23.
Points out in this connection that it has placed appropriations in the reserve and that, during this
budgetary  procedure,  it  has  asked  for  reports  to  be  drawn  up  on  questions  listed,  together  with  the
deadlines and conditions for submission, in Annex II;

Deplores  the  fact,  however,  that  the  Council  has  rejected  the  amendments  seeking  to  enter
24.
appropriate remarks for each revenue heading in accordance with the provisions of Article 20(2) of the
Financial Regulation;

25.

Has therefore decided to retable the revenue-related amendments;

26.
Instructs  its  administration  to  bring  forward  the  appropriate  transfer  for  the  12th  part-session  in
Strasbourg; stresses that the transfer should take due account of the provisions adopted by the Conference
of Presidents on 23 October 1997 on the holding of committee meetings in Strasbourg; notes that possible
savings due to reductions in committee meetings in Strasbourg following these decisions could amount to
about ECU 4 million over the year;

Stresses  its  attachment  to  a  transparent  and  efficient  nomenclature  permitting  comparability

27.
between institutions, in particular in the case of administrative expenditure;

28.
Invites the Commission, accordingly, to coordinate work on harmonization of the nomenclature for
Title  2  ›  Buildings,  equipment  and  miscellaneous  operating  expenditure  ›  and  to  submit  an
interinstitutional report before 30 April 1998;

›  whereas the draft ECSC operating budget for 1998 and the draft amending ECSC operating budget for

1997 were drawn up in the context of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty on 23 July 2002,

›  having  regard  to  the  resolution  of  the  Amsterdam  European  Council  on  growth  and  employment
inviting the Commission to lay down the arrangements for the phasing-out of the ECSC as regards the
management  of  current  operations  and  the  patrimony  and  the  allocation  of  revenue  from  the
management of ECSC assets,

›  having regard to the Commission(cid:146)s communication to the Council on the expiry of the ECSC Treaty:

financial activities (COM(97)0506),

›  having  regard  to  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Budgets  and  the  opinions  of  the  Committee  on
Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy and the Committee on Employment and Social
Affairs (A4-0409/97),

A.  whereas, notwithstanding the expiry of the ECSC Treaty, the various activities carried out pursuant to
that Treaty will not automatically cease to be necessary, whereas, therefore, the phasing-in of ECSC
activities  in  the  general  budget  must  continue  to  be  the  subject  of  full  consideration  and  practical
proposals in parallel to the phasing-out,

B.  whereas the coal and steel industries remain dependent on cyclical market trends, trends which are
themselves linked largely to European and world economic fluctuations; whereas, therefore, they may
once again be faced with difficult economic situations,

C.  whereas  the  financial  and  budgetary  provisions  of  the  ECSC  Treaty  have  helped  to  cushion  the

traumatic social impact of the radical restructuring which has taken place in these two industries,

D.  whereas  research,  the  key  to  competitiveness  in  terms  of  manufacturing,  innovation  and  product
quality standards, has an indispensable role to play in a dynamic policy to improve the employment
situation,

E.  whereas steel demand and prices have been increasing gradually since the end of the stock-reduction
period,  and  whereas  this  gradual  improvement  in  steel  market  conditions,  linked  to  the  overall
economic  improvement  in  the  Community  in  1997,  points  to  an  increase  in  steel  production  from
148 million tonnes in 1996 to 156 million tonnes in 1997,

F.  whereas, however, the number of jobs will continue to fall from 304 500 in 1996 to 287 600 in 1997,

i.e. a loss of 16 900 jobs,

G.  whereas the continuing restructuring programmes in the coal sector in the Member States will give

rise to the loss of an estimated 8 700 jobs,

1.
Notes that, for the first time, the Commission has submitted a draft operating budget in the context of
the expiry of the Treaty in 2002, which has prompted it to set this procedure in the context of the financial
perspective for the period 1997-2002;

Notes that, in that context, in accordance with its 1994 decision (1), the Commission is proposing to
2.
end  the  conversion  policy  in  1998;  notes  also  that,  since  convergence  loans  cannot  continue  beyond
23 July 2002 and their term is five years, no further loans can be granted after 23 July 1997;

3.
Notes that the halting of commitments in respect of global conversion loans entails an initial tranche
of cancellations totalling ECU 173 million in 1997, i.e. an increase of ECU 120 million by comparison
with the estimates in the draft budget, and that the Commission has therefore presented a draft amending
budget for 1997 totalling ECU 424,4 million instead of ECU 265,5 million and has allocated an additional
amount of ECU 139,9 million to the chapter dealing with provisions for the financing of future budgets;

Official Journal of the European Communities

19. 1. 98

Thursday 18 December 1997

Points out that Parliament delivered a favourable opinion on that proposal in its resolution referred to

4.
in the fifth citation above;

Notes that, as far as the draft budget for 1998 is concerned, the needs estimated by the Commission
5.
total  ECU  179  million,  as  against  ECU  206  million  in  1997  (SAB),  and  that  ECU  35  million  of  the
provisions built up by the two previous budgets are to be used to offset the absence of the contribution
from the levy, as proposed by the Commission;

6.
Takes the view that the Commission must extend into 1998 the programmes which it has already
embarked  upon,  in  particular  the  redeployment  aid  schemes,  given  that  its  own  estimates  point  to  a
combined loss in the coal and steel sectors of over 25 000 jobs per year;

Regards  the  other  ECSC  aid  schemes,  particularly  the  social  measures  for  coal,  as  all  the  more

7.
necessary as no further conversion loans can be granted after 23 July 1997;

Takes the view, further, that for this reason the ECSC budget must offset the loss of conversion aid
8.
by means of other aid schemes, in particular those provided for by Articles 2, 56 and 95 of the ECSC
Treaty, given that the Commission(cid:146)s economic forecasts demonstrate the need for support in this area;

Calls  on  the  Commission  to  gear  ECSC  research  support  to  the  share  of  the  yield  from  the  levy

9.
accounted for by each sector;

Approves, therefore, the table annexed to this resolution:

10.
(a)  as regards the operating budget for 1998, proposes that the ECSC levy be definitively abolished, as
provided  for  in  the  Commission  draft,  since  there  is  no  longer  a  financial  requirement,  given  the
objective to be realized and the expiry of the ECSC Treaty, as well as the reserves to be constituted by
then;

(b)  as regards the level of reserves and provisions entered in the ECSC balance sheet, proposes that:

› 

› 

› 

the guidelines adopted by Parliament in its resolution of 15 November 1996 referred to above
should be incorporated in the balance sheet;
the decisions taken in connection with the 1998 budget should be linked to those which will be
taken in respect of the following budgetary years, on the basis of a financial perspective for the
period 1998-2002;
in  1998  part  of  the  provisions  should  be  used  to  make  a  payment  to  the  EIB  with  a  view  to
establishing a special fund to support job-creating SMUs in industrial research sectors linked to
coal and steel and in sectoral or regional areas connected with these industries;

11.
› 

› 
› 

Takes the view that these proposals are consistent with:

the resolution of the Amsterdam European Council on growth and employment, which referred to the
ECSC  reserves  as  a  financial  instrument  which  might  be  used  to  help  in  the  fight  against
unemployment in Europe, and paragraph 10 of which reads as follows: (cid:145)The Commission is invited to
make the appropriate proposals in order to ensure that, upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty in 2002, the
revenues of outstanding reserves can be used for a research fund for sectors related to the coal and
steel  industry(cid:146),  and  invites  the  Commission  to  submit  proposals  stating  whether,  and  how,  this
decision could be implemented as of 1998;
the determination of the Community authorities to seek significant resources for employment;
the available funding constituted by the proceeds from the levy and the provisions which may be used
to  achieve  one  of  the  Community(cid:146)s  objectives  on  the  basis  of  Articles  2,  56  and  95  of  the  ECSC
Treaty;

Recalls that, in a statement to Parliament in 1973, the Commission undertook to accept the binding

12.
nature of opinions delivered by Parliament on the ECSC operating budget;

Instructs  its  President  to  forward  this  resolution  to  the  Commission,  the  Council  and  the  ECSC

13.
Consultative Committee.

Proposal and amended proposal for a European Parliament and Council Decision concerning the
fifth framework programme of the European Community for research, technological development
and  demonstration  activities  (1998-2002)  (COM(97)0142  ›  C4-0186/97  and  COM(97)0439  ›

The proposal was approved with the following amendments:

TEXT PROPOSED
BY THE COMMISSION (*)

AMENDMENTS
BY PARLIAMENT

(Amendment 1)

Recital 1a (new)

Whereas  the  enlargement  of  the  European  Union  will
increase  the  need  for  sustained  efforts  to  support  the
research  and  education  sector  and,  in  particular,  to
enhance mobility in that sector;

(Amendment 2)

Recital 1b (new)

Whereas, therefore, the next Community financial perspec-
tive should give high priority to Heading 3;

(Amendment 3)

Recital 3a (new)

Whereas,  following  the  Commission(cid:146)s  Communication  on
(cid:145)Achieving  coordination  through  cooperation(cid:146)  of  Novem-
ber 1994, the Council concluded in June 1995 that appro-
priate  steps  should  be  taken  to  promote  cooperation  and
coordination between Member States;

(Amendment 4)

Recital 4

Whereas  the  objectives  of  the  Community(cid:146)s  research  and
technological  development  policy  reflect  current  thinking
about  challenges  which  the  Community  must  meet  and  the
opportunities which it intends to address relating, as a matter of
priority, to the problems of society, industrial competitiveness,
job  creation,  quality  of  life,  globalization  of  knowledge,
contributing  to  the  development  and  implementation  of  the
Community(cid:146)s  policies  in  line  with  Article  130f(1)  of  the
Treaty, and the role of the Community in the world as a focal

tiveness  of  European  industry  by  means  of  scientific  and
technological  research  and  development  to  increase  econ-
omic  growth  and,  hence,  to  support  an  increase  in  the
number of jobs available, simultaneously contributing to the
development and implementation of the Community(cid:146)s policies
in line with Article 130f(1) of the Treaty and strengthening the
role of the Community in the world as a focal point of scientific
and technological excellence;

(Amendment 5)

Recital 4a (new)

Whereas a research programme which is designed to meet
social  and  economic  needs  must  as  far  as  possible  be
demand-driven,  and  whereas,  alongside  efforts  to  ensure
maximum participation by users in the individual project
consortia,  additional  guarantees  are  required  in  order  to
implement this approach;

(Amendment 6)

Recital 7a (new)

Whereas the Community(cid:146)s main international partners are
increasing  their  spending  on  research  and  technological
development;

(Amendments 7 and 112)

Recital 8

Whereas  it  is  appropriate,  in  this  same  framework,  to  place
special  emphasis  on  small  and  medium-sized  enterprises
(SMEs),  which  generate  a  great  deal  of  employment,  on  the
diffusion  and  transfer  of  results,  on  innovation  and  on  the
training and mobility of researchers;

Whereas  small  and  medium-sized  enterprises  (SMEs)  can
make  a  substantial  contribution  to  the  process  of  innova-
tion and job creation, and should play a major role in the
implementation of Community R&D actions; whereas it is
therefore desirable to pay special attention to the specific
needs  of  such  enterprises  so  as  to  promote  their  effective
participation in Community programmes and their ability
to  benefit  from  them;  whereas  it  is  appropriate  to  place
special emphasis on the diffusion and transfer of results and on
the training and mobility of researchers; whereas such actions
should  have  an  increasing  impact  on  the  less-favoured
regions and countries;

(Amendment 8)

Recital 8a (new)

Whereas  research  and  technological  development  can  sti-
mulate economic growth and as a result lead to the creation
of lasting employment;

(Amendment 9)

Recital 8b (new)

Whereas,  in  accordance  with  Article  130h  of  the  Treaty,
Member  States  should  be  actively  encouraged  to  coordi-
nate  their  research  and  technological  development  activi-
ties;

(Amendment 10)

Recital 8c (new)

Whereas  the  HCM  programme  has  done  a  great  deal  to
promote  the  mobility  of  researchers.  As  a  result,  it  has
exposed a need to enable young and gifted researchers to
break new ground in their field;

(Amendment 11)

Recital 8d (new)

Whereas  specific  grants,  focusing  on  the  researcher  or  a
small  group  of  researchers,  rather  than  the  large  project
structure  which  is  today  more  common  in  Community
projects,  would  serve  to  fulfil  this  need.  They  would  by
their nature be independent of subject area or of research
institution.  The  only  criteria  would  be  the  novelty  and
scientific quality of the proposed work;

(Amendment 12)

Recital 8e (new)

Whereas,  if  the  young,  gifted  and  innovative  researcher
goes beyond his/her research goals, and starts independent-
ly  to  seek  innovative  business  potential  in  technology,
today’s R&D instruments give very little means to release
small grants very quickly, to stimulate the development of
such  ideas.  Such  young  innovator  grants  should  be  intro-
duced,  to  stimulate  Europe(cid:146)s  innovative  spirit  at  grass-
roots;

(Amendment 13)

Recital 9

Whereas the formulation and implementation of the Commun-
ity(cid:146)s policies and actions must take into account the objectives
related to economic and social cohesion; whereas, in accord-
ance  with  this  principle,  the  framework  programme  must
contribute to the harmonious development of the Community
while maintaining scientific excellence as an essential criter-
ion; whereas it is therefore necessary to strengthen the synergy
between research and technological development activities and
the action undertaken by the Community through the structural
funds;

Whereas the formulation and implementation of the Commun-
ity(cid:146)s policies and actions must take into account the objectives
related to economic and social cohesion; whereas, in accord-
ance  with  this  principle,  the  framework  programme  must
contribute to the harmonious development of the Community
while  maintaining  scientific  excellence  as  the  basic  and
binding  essential  criterion  in  the  selection  of  individual
research  projects;  whereas  it  is  therefore  necessary  to
strengthen  the  synergy  between  research  and  technological
development  activities  and  the  action  undertaken  by  the
Community  through  the  structural  funds  wherever  this  is
possible and is not achieved at the expense of the scientific
excellence of the support for research; whereas the Mem-
ber States are particularly responsible for such coordina-
tion;

proportionality as provided for in Article 3b of the Treaty, the
objectives of Community research and technological develop-
ment  policy  reflected  in  the  fifth  framework  programme
cannot  be  sufficiently  achieved  by  the  Member  States,  since
they require the establishment of a critical mass in human and
financial terms and a combination of expertise exceeding the
confines  of  a  single  Member  State;  whereas  these  objectives
can  therefore,  in  view  of  the  multiplier  effects  that  they
generate, be better achieved at Community level; whereas this
Decision is limited to the minimum required to achieve these
objectives and does not exceed what is necessary to this end;

policies;

(Amendment 17)

Whereas it will be necessary to revise the maximum overall

(Amendment 162)

Recital 11c (new)

Whereas  the  administrative  expenditure  arising  from

budgetized  in  a  transparent  way;  whereas  the  budgetary
authority  requires  from  the  Commission  a  comparable

(Amendment 42)

Annex I

The  implementation  of  the  European  Community(cid:146)s  research
and  technological  development  policy  is  based  on  the  twin
principles  of  scientific  and  technological  excellence  and  the
relevance of research activities to the objectives of the Treaty
establishing the European Community.

The  devising  of  the  European  Community(cid:146)s  research  and
technological development policy is based on the twin princi-
ple of scientific and technological excellence and the relevance
of research activities to the Treaty establishing the European
Community.

In pursuit of a cost-benefit approach dictated by concern for
optimum allocation of European public funding, the choice of
themes  for  the  fifth  framework  programme  and  the  related
objectives  is  made  on  the  basis  of  a  set  of  common  criteria,
divided into three categories.

Regarding the financial management of the programme, a
cost-benefit assessment is necessary in order to ensure the
optimal selection of the activities to be funded.

Criteria related to social objectives:
› 
improving the employment situation,
›  promoting the quality of life and health,
›  preserving the environment,
in order to further major social objectives of the Community
reflecting the expectations and concerns of its citizens.

Criteria  related  to  economic  development  and  scientific  and
technological prospects:
›  areas  which  are  expanding  and  create  good  growth

prospects,

The objectives of Community research policy shall be:
›  strengthening and improving the international position

of Europe as an economic location,

›  promoting  and  strengthening  of  economic  growth
whilst explicitly complying with the principle of sustai-
nability,

›  strengthening of the foundations for favourable labour

› 

market trends,
improving  the  quality  of  life,  public  health,  environ-
mental protection, biodiversity and long-term ecologi-
cal stability,

›  areas  in  which  Community  businesses  can  and  must

›  promoting  and  contributing  to  economic  and  social

become more competitive,

cohesion.

›  areas  in  which  prospects  of  significant  technological

progress are opening up.

Criteria  related  to  the  Community  (cid:145)value  added(cid:146)  and  the
subsidiarity principle:
›  need to establish a (cid:145)critical mass(cid:146) in human and financial
terms, and the combination of the complementary exper-
tise available in the various Member States,

›  significant  contribution  to  the  implementation  of  one  or

more Community policies,

›  addressing  of  problems  arising  at  Community  level  or
questions  relating  to  aspects  of  standardization  or  con-
nected with the development of the European area,
so  as  to  select  only  objectives  which  cannot  be  achieved
through  private  research  alone  and  are  more  effectively
pursued at the Community level by means of research activities
conducted at that level.

In  its  pursuit  of  those  objectives,  the  Community,  while
respecting  the  principle  of  subsidiarity,  shall  intervene  in
support in particular where:
› 

its  activities  result  in  (cid:145)European  added  value(cid:146),  for
example  where  there  is  a  need  to  establish  a  (cid:145)critical
mass in human and financial terms and the combina-
tion of the complementary expertise available in Mem-
ber States,

›  European  research  policy  may  make  a  significant
contribution to the implementation of Union policy in
one or more areas, and

›  problems  arising  at  Community  level,  for  example
issues relating to the development of the European area
or  questions  of  standardization,  require  Community
participation.

Beyond  that,  the  European  Community(cid:146)s  research  policy
shall  foster  the  participation  of  women  in  all  fields  of
research and technological development.

No EU research funding may be used in connection with the
development or manufacture of weapons.

The Joint Research Centre is the scientific and technical body
which  the  Commission  needs  to  perform  the  tasks  that  it  is
empowered to conduct. The scientific and technological objec-

› 

› 

the  Union(cid:146)s  scientific  community,  by  strengthening
links with the main research institutes and following a
policy of publication in the scientific journals that are
best qualified in the field concerned;

the  Union(cid:146)s  undertakings,  by  developing  its  role  as  a
technology  transfer  centre.  This  entails:  increased

Annex II(II), First Activity (2), introduction

The  advent  of  the  information  society  is  opening  up  the
possibility  of  a  wide  range  of  new  activities,  for  both
individuals and companies of the Community, in the fields of
trade,  work,  transport,  environment,  education  and  training,
health and culture. Continuous efforts in relation to research,
technological development and technology take-up are necess-
ary to realize the full potential of the information society. The
technological range of key actions allows the possibility of a
flexible  concentration  and  a  dynamic  implementation  of  the
activities, reflecting socio-economic priorities.

The  gathering,  storing,  processing,  transmission,  dissemi-
nation and use of information will increasingly determine
the international competitiveness not only of the informa-
tion  technologies  themselves  but  also  all  sectors  of  the
economy and society.

The  advent  thereof  is  opening  up  the  possibility  of  a  wide
range of new activities, for both individuals and companies of
the  Community,  e.g.  in  the  fields  of  trade,  work,  transport,
environment, education and training, health and culture. Con-
tinuous efforts in relation to research, technological develop-
ment and technology take-up are necessary to realise the full
potential of the information society. Here, in addition to the
potential  for  economic  growth  and  employment,  efforts
must  tackle  universal  issues  such  as  access,  ease  of  use,
safety,  cost-effectiveness  and  interoperability,  as  well  as
socio-economic  impact.  The  technological  range  of  key
actions should allow the possibility of a flexible concentration
and a dynamic implementation of the activities.

3. Transport › Mobility › Production

The objective is to produce and disseminate the knowledge and
technologies  needed  to  design  and  develop  processes  and
produce (cid:145)clean(cid:146), high-quality products that will be competitive
on tomorrow(cid:146)s market, to help increase growth and create new
jobs in Europe and to give firms the opportunity to make the
necessary changes to their activities.

This  goes  hand  in  hand  with  the  development  of  high-
performance energy  systems  and  services,  and  transport  sys-
tems which are economic, safe, and protective of the environ-
ment and quality of life.

The objective of this thematic programme is the sustainable
development  of  transport  and  production.  For  a  mobility
that meets the demands of tomorrow we need strategies to
optimise the transportation system as a whole. They must
include  the  integration  of  all  modes  of  transport  for
passengers  and  freight  because  in  our  times  optimisation
can only be achieved by integration.

This  goes  hand  in  hand  with  the  development  of  high-
performance transport systems which are economic, safe and
protective  of  the  environment  and  quality  of  life,  with  the
further development of European aeronautical and astron-
autical technology constituting a separate focus (1)

The objective as to production is to produce and disseminate
the knowledge and technologies needed to design and develop
processes and produce (cid:145)clean(cid:146), high-quality products that will
be competitive on tomorrow(cid:146)s market, to help increase growth
and create new jobs in Europe and to sustain the continuing
innovation effort of manufacturing firms (SMEs and indus-
trial districts) to improve their competitiveness.

consequences  for  the  environment,  the  quality  of  life  and
the preservation of our cultural heritage. Securing sustain-

if  the  Community  is  to  be  competitive  on  the  markets  of
tomorrow  with  clean  and  intelligent  products  and  pro-
cesses  which  conserve  resources  or  renew  them  to  a
substantial  extent.  The  aim  of  these  key  actions  is,  there-
fore, to carry out research into and to analyse in particular
the  general  and  specific  environmental  problems  arising
from  economic  activities  and  their  subsequent  changes  in
society. The compilation, development, dissemination and

1. Confirming the international role of Community research.

The main purposes of the (cid:145)international cooperation(cid:146) activity
are  to  contribute  significantly  to  the  implementation  of  the
Community(cid:146)s  external  policy,  especially  towards  the  Central
and  East  European  accession  candidates,  and  to  help  the
Community establish industrial cooperation and open up new
markets

1. Promotion  of  cooperation  with  third  countries  and
international  organizations  in  the  field  of  Community
research,  technological  development  and  demonstration
activities.

The main purpose of this activity is to promote internation-
al  cooperation  in  the  areas  in  which  the  Community  is
active  in  the  field  of  research,  technological  development
and demonstration activities. Special attention will be paid
in this context to cooperation between the Community and
the applicant countries from Central and Eastern Europe
and to cooperation with those countries which, in the field
of  research,  are  concerned  with  issues  which  are  also  of
outstanding  importance  for  the  Community.  At  the  same
time, promotion of international cooperation in the field of
research  should  promote  the  further  objectives  of  the
Treaty,  in  particular  those  of  the  common  foreign  and
security policy, wherever this is possible.

In the context of the Community(cid:146)s external policy, and with the
accession  of  new  Member  States  in  mind,  the  general  objec-
tives of the (cid:145)international cooperation(cid:146) activity are:

Annex II(II), Second Activity (1)(a), introduction

On the basis of the cooperation policies the Community frames
according to this relations with its various potential partners,
three  categories  of  action  will  be  implemented,  linked  to
specific  problems  facing  these  countries  and  not  covered  by
the  other  activities  of  the  framework  programme.  These
actions  will  be  financed  through  the  specific  (cid:145)international
cooperation(cid:146) activity:

Three specific activities shall be defined which, on the one
hand, are linked to specific problems facing the respective
partner  countries  and,  at  the  same  time,  are  of  special
importance  for  the  Community.  The  measures  involved
shall not be covered by other measures in the framework
programme and shall be financed exclusively as part of this
specific programme to promote international cooperation.

Annex II(II), Third Activity (1), second paragraph a, b, c and d (new)

Under this activity, therefore, support may and should also
be  given  to  projects  which  only  partly  coincide  with  the
objectives, activities and specific research themes laid down
in this decision, but which show great potential as regards
innovation and employment.

The  definition  of  SMEs  given  in  the  fifth  framework
programme differs from the generally accepted definition,
setting the ceiling for SMEs at 500 employees. This depar-
ture is justified by the fact that it is SMEs of this kind in
particular, i.e. those with between 250 and 500 employees,
which carry out their own research and development and
which  would  otherwise  be  largely  excluded  from  the
specific  research  support  provided  by  this  programme.
This different definition shall apply only in connection with
the fifth framework programme.

If small and medium-sized businesses are to benefit to the
full from innovation and the results thereof, the establish-
ment of clusters is very important. There are two forms of
cluster. Firstly, there are clusters of subcontractors (SMEs)
and  larger  businesses.  Secondly,  cross-border  clusters  of
small  and  medium-sized  businesses  working  in  the  same
horizontal  sector  can  contribute  to  innovation  and  the
dissemination and transfer of the results of scientific work.

In order to encourage participation and reduce the admin-
istrative burden on SMEs, sectoral organizations may act
as administrators and/or contract partners for consortia.

opment  of  urban  life  with  the  aid  of  comprehensive,
innovative  and  economically  more  effective  concepts.
These will be based on advanced organizational models
which  reconcile,  in  particular,  improvements  in  the
quality of life, the restoration of social balance and the
protection and promotion of cultural heritage;

›  socio-economic issues of ageing and in connection with
disabilities. The aim will be to tackle problems arising
from the increasing ageing of the Community popula-
tion. It will provide the scientific bases for the framing
of policies and measures which safeguard and enhance
the  quality  of  life  and  independence  of  elderly  people
and which deal with the socio-economic implications of
ageing  (e.g.  costs  of  care,  long-term  safeguarding  of
social insurance systems). To this end, a multidiscipli-
nary  approach  is  required.  At  the  same  time,  the
competitiveness  of  health-related  industries  will  be
promoted. Priority will be given to the following areas:

›  sociological  and,  in  particular,  demographic  stu-
dies of population trends (proportion of the popu-
lation made up by the elderly and disabled);

›  studies into the shaping of the social and physical
environment which takes account of the increasing
proportion  of  the  population  made  up  by  the
elderly and disabled;

›  studies into the shaping of an efficient and effective
welfare service for the elderly and disabled, includ-
ing studies into the financing of long-term care and
pensions;

folio(cid:146)s  value  by  the  end  of  the  subsequent  business  day.
Competent  authorities  shall  monitor  the  development  by
institutions  of  the  capability  to  perform  backtesting  on
both actual and, assuming unchanged end-of-day positions,
hypothetical  changes  in  the  portfolio(cid:146)s  value.  Backtesting
on  hypothetical  changes  in  the  portfolio(cid:146)s  value  is  based

ANNEX II

Annex VIII(4a) (new) (Directive 93/6/EEC)

4a. For  the  purpose  of  calculating  capital  requirements
for  specific  risk  associated  with  traded  debt  and  equity
positions the competent authorities may recognise the use
of  an  institution(cid:146)s  internal  model  if  in  addition  to  com-
pliance with the conditions in the remainder of this Annex
the model:

›  explains the historical price variation in the portfolio,

›  captures  concentration  in  terms  of  magnitude  and

changes of composition of the portfolio,

› 

is robust to an adverse environment, and

› 

is  validated  through  backtesting  aimed  at  assessing
whether  specific  risk  is  being  accurately  captured.  If
competent  authorities  allow  this  backtesting  to  be
performed on the basis of relevant sub-portfolios these
must be chosen in a consistent manner.

(Amendment 16)

Annex VIII(5) (Directive 93/6/EEC)

5. Notwithstanding  paragraph  1,  institutions  using  models
shall  be  subject  to  a  separate  capital  charge  to  cover  the
specific  risk  of  traded  debt  instruments  and  equities  as
described in Annex I to the extent that the competent authori-
ties consider that this risk is not incorporated sufficiently into
their models. The competent authorities shall in any case set a
minimum  specific  risk  charge  of  50%  of  the  charge  as
calculated according to Annex I for institutions using models.

Institutions  using  internal  models  which  are  not  in
5.
accordance with paragraph 4 shall be subject to a separate
capital  charge  in  respect  of  the  specific  risk  calculated

Annex VIII(7), second subparagraph (Directive 93/6/EEC)

The  value-at-risk  number  calculated  by  means  of  the  model
shall  be  compared  with  the  actual  change  in  value  of  the
portfolio. Backtesting shall be carried out daily on the basis of
both effective and, assuming unchanged end-of-day positions,
hypothetical changes in the portfolio value.

The  value-at-risk  number  calculated  by  means  of  the  model
shall  be  compared  with  the  actual  change  in  value  of  the
portfolio. Backtesting shall be carried out daily on the basis of
effective or, assuming unchanged end-of-day positions, hypo-
thetical  changes  in  the  portfolio  value.  The  value-at-risk
number  subject  to  the  backtesting  must  correspond  to  a
holding  period  of  one  (1)  day.  Before  using  an  internal
model to determine its own funds, the institution shall also
obtain the approval of the competent authorities, inter alia,
for the type of changes (effective or hypothetical) to be used
in  its  backtesting.  The  institution  must  also  apply  the
method selected consistently.

At  all  events,  the  competent  authorities  shall  monitor  the
institutions(cid:146)  development  of  the  scope  for  backtesting  on
the basis of effective and, assuming unchanged end-of-day
positions, hypothetical changes in the portfolio value.

(Amendment 5)

ANNEX II

Annex VIII(7), third subparagraph (Directive 93/6/EEC)

If  the  change  in  portfolio  value  exceeds  the  value-at-risk
calculated  using  the  model,  the  target  has  been  overshot.
The number  of  overshootings,  as  set  out  in  Table  5,  shall  be
based on a spot check of 250 values.

If  the  change  in  portfolio  value  exceeds  the  value-at-risk
calculated  using  the  model,  the  target  has  been  overshot.
The number  of  overshootings,  as  set  out  in  Table  5,  shall  be
based on a statistical sample of daily values covering the 250
most recent working days.

For  the  purpose  of  determining  the  (cid:145)plus(cid:146)  factor,  the
number  of  overshootings  shall  be  determined  at  least
quarterly.

(Amendment 6)

ANNEX II

Annex VIII(7) fourth, fifth and sixth subparagraphs (Directive 93/6/EEC)

The competent authorities can, in individual cases, waive the
requirement to  add  a  plus  factor  if,  owing  to  an  exceptional
situation,  an  increase  in  the  multiplication  factor  would  be
unjustified and the model is basically sound. In this context, the
institution has to prove that an increase would be unjustified.

The competent authorities can, in individual cases, waive the
requirement to increase the multiplication factor by the plus
factor  in  accordance  with  Table  5  if  the  institution  has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authori-
ties that such an increase is unjustified and that the model
is basically sound.

In the event of numerous overshootings, the competent auth-
ority  shall  revoke  the  model(cid:146)s  recognition  or  impose  appro-
priate measures to ensure that the model is improved promptly.

If  numerous  overshootings  indicate  that  the  model  is  not
sufficiently accurate the competent authorities shall revoke
the  model(cid:146)s  recognition  or  impose  appropriate  measures  to
ensure that the model is improved promptly.

B.  whereas the Amsterdam Treaty places the promotion of employment, the environment and the quality
of  life,  as  well  as  aspects  of  policies  to  be  conducted  in  the  energy  sector  at  the  centre  of  the
Community(cid:146)s obligations,

C.  whereas  its  above-mentioned  resolution  on  the  Commission(cid:146)s  White  Paper  fully  identified  and
explained  the  shortcomings  of  the  policy  pursued  with  regard  to  the  sustainable  use  of  energy,
creation of an internal market for electricity and natural gas, relations between the institutions, the
budgetary context, regional policy, research and technological demonstration, the correct relationship
between energy and the environment, East-West cooperation, or the real sphere of influence of energy
policy in the agreement on the Energy Charter or within the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean
partnership,

D.  whereas  the  debate  on  the  future  of  energy  in  the  European  Union  is  now  running  out  of  steam
compared with what might have happened in the event of a supply crisis, but the threat of such a crisis
is constantly hanging over European markets and the purchasing power of European citizens, in direct
proportion to the extent to which energy objectives are achieved, dependency on external supplies,
total energy consumption in Europe or changes in energy intensity,

E.  whereas the liberalization and integration of energy markets will enhance business competitiveness;
whereas the gradual creation of the internal market must not be detrimental to regional cohesion or
create distortions between the benefits for large industrial consumers and individual citizens, given
the impact of energy prices on family budgets and the need to stimulate economic recovery and hence
employment in the Member States by encouraging private consumption,

F.  whereas the present structure of Community action in the energy sector does not facilitate monitoring,
checks  or  a  detailed  analysis;  whereas  concentration  and  legislative  simplification  in  both
implementation and application are therefore desirable with a view to greater transparency,

G.  whereas the financial instruments available to the Community have been the target of repeated efforts
by the Council in recent years to reduce the funds allocated to the energy sector, particularly in areas
with a high ecological content,

1.
Recognizes the effort to increase transparency made by the Commission in its communication which
lays the foundations for a more detailed study and assessment in the future of the components of energy
policy and will improve coordination of the instruments now available to the European Union to carry out
the  tasks  conferred  on  it  by  the  Treaty  for  the  benefit  of  its  citizens  and  the  competitiveness  of  its
businesses;

2.

Calls for European energy policies to be brought together in a chapter on energy in the EC Treaty;

3.

Asks to be involved, via the codecision procedure, in Community decisions on energy policy;

4.
Calls  on  the  Commission  to  include  in  future  in  its  preparatory  work  on  proposals  concerning
Community  policy  and  action  in  the  energy  sector  a  clear  justification  of  the  impact  of  the  relevant
proposals on the achievement of the Community(cid:146)s tasks, in particular lasting environmental protection
and improving the level of employment, standard of living and quality of life in the Member States;

5.
Considers it crucial for the development of energy policy guidelines that the Commission should
strengthen  the  role  of  the  European  Energy  Observatory,  as  a  means  of  defining  appropriate  general
guidelines for the future on the conditions surrounding security of supply and trends in regional supply
stability, in particular with regard to the main transportation routes for electricity, natural gas and oil and
constituting a reliable point of reference for operators and the market;

6.
Calls on the Commission to make regular assessments and analyses of the energy and environmental
policies pursued by Member States so as to study and improve, possibly as a preliminary step towards the
creation of a common framework for cooperation, the degree of compatibility between national energy
and  environmental  objectives  and  those  adopted  by  the  European  Union,  and  the  costs  arising  from
shortcomings in or the absence of such compatibility, in particular with a view to future enlargement of the
EU,  and  to  inform  the  European  Parliament  of  all  this  at  a  suitably  early  stage,  in  particular  by  using
planning and training centres and institutes;

Considers  that  the  strengthening  of  political  agreement  on  the  development  and  application  of
7.
renewable energies must be extended to include environmental and energy efficiency and optimization in
the  consumption  of  intensively  used  energy  sources,  particularly  in  view  of  the  steady  growth  in  the
consumption of natural gas, while at the same time recalling that excessive dependence on natural gas may
be a risk for the Union in the long term;

8.
Advocates  that  any  compensation  arrangements  introduced  to  allow  the  substantial  investments
required for the desired commercial application of renewable energy sources should not result in citizens
bearing the economic brunt of such (cid:145)technological restructuring(cid:146);

9.
Deplores the drastic cuts made by the Council in the energy chapter of the Community budget, which
have created considerable uncertainty as to the future of European instruments already established on the
basis  of  the  Altener,  Thermie  and  Save  programmes,  and  in  particular  those  covering  international
cooperation in this area;

10.
Calls on the Commission to give sufficient advance thought to the transparency of external action
in the energy sector so as to facilitate information, scrutiny and thorough consideration by the European
Parliament  of  cooperation  with  non-member  countries  under  the  PHARE,  TACIS  and  MEDA  aid  and
cooperation  programmes,  those  for  Asia  and  Latin  America  and  the  EDF,  and  of  the  guidelines  for
implementing the pan-European electricity and natural gas networks, in view of the many cases in which
the information phase has been disregarded;

C 14/180

Thursday 18 December 1997

11.
Points to the need for indirect Community research and technological development measures under
the  fourth  framework  programme  to  allow  wide  scope  for  innovative  energy  technologies  capable  of
providing an adequate response to the desire to give preference to renewable sources and current demand
for applications and consumption of natural gas, particularly in sectors such as liquefaction, transportation
and  regasification,  in  view  of  the  potential  of  new  forms  of  supply  from  remote  areas;  recognizes
furthermore  that,  taking  into  the  account  the  important  role  played  by  the  nuclear  sector  in  producing
electricity in the European Union and its contribution to reducing energy dependence, the Community
institutions should take part in its development, given the potential of nuclear power to increase the range
of energy options, and in particular to reduce the EU(cid:146)s CO2  emissions in accordance with international
agreements;

12.
Recalls  its  support  for  the  drawing  up  of  a  framework  programme  for  EU  energy  policy
contributing  to  clarifying  and  focusing  Community  initiatives  in  this  field  and  ensuring  a  level  of
multiannual funding which would allow the deployment of significant measures, in particular in the field
of renewable energy, but without any structural reduction in the funding available;

13.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and the Council.

›  having regard to its resolution of 19 November 1997 on the Amsterdam Treaty (1),

› 

recalling its resolutions of 4 December 1997 on the Commission communication (cid:145)Agenda 2000 ›

Revision of the Treaty on European Union

Notes  with  satisfaction  the  fact  that  the  European  Council  is  making  institutional  reform  a
4.
prerequisite for any enlargement, regrets that it has not specified the nature and scope of the reforms to be
carried  out  to  ensure  the  smooth  functioning  of  an  enlarged  Union,  and  invites  it,  on  the  basis  of  its
abovementioned resolution on the Amsterdam Treaty, to begin its work in this connection and, within this
framework, to enter into a political dialogue with the European Parliament;

Enlargement

5. Welcomes the European Council’s decision on the accession and negotiating process, starting with a
meeting on 30 March 1998 between the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the 15 Member States, of the ten
applicant countries of Central and Eastern Europe and of Cyprus;

Furthermore underlines the fact, as does the European Council, that all these countries’ applications
6.
for  accession  will  be  judged  according  to  the  same  criteria  and  that  they  participate  in  the  accession
process on an equal footing;

7. Welcomes  the  creation  of  the  (cid:145)accession  partnership(cid:146)  for  each  of  the  applicant  countries  as  an
instrument to bring together that country’s efforts in adopting and implementing the acquis communau-
taire and fulfilling the Copenhagen criteria, on the one hand, and all available financial assistance from
EU sources, including the PHARE programme, on the other;

Regrets that the European Council makes no reference to consultation of Parliament on the common

8.
framework for the partnerships and on the content of the individual partnership agreements;

9.
Agrees with the European Council on the countries which have made the most progress in meeting
the criteria for the accession and negotiating process and reiterates its call for intensive negotiations with
those  countries  to  begin,  while  reinforcing  and  accelerating  the  preparation  of  negotiations  with  the
remaining countries;

10.
Stresses, as does the European Council, that the opening of the accession and negotiating process
with all applicant countries together, and the start of intensive bilateral negotiations with six of them, does
not automatically imply that these negotiations will be concluded for the various applicant countries at the
same time;

Requests that also the Slovak Republic benefit from the reinforced pre-accession strategy so that
11.
negotiations can start immediately when the political conditions laid down in Copenhagen are met, and in
order to continue to adapt its economy to the conditions of the single market; calls, in particular, for the
accession partnership to be negotiated with this country to make provision for measures in the sphere of
democracy › including minority rights › and for the democracy-related appropriations from the PHARE
programme to be used to support the measures which will be determined by joint agreement in this sphere;

12.
Shares the European Council’s view of the special significance of Cypriot accession; welcomes the
commitment of the Presidency and the Commission, in cooperation with the Government of Cyprus, to
secure  the  inclusion  of  representatives  of  the  Turkish  Cypriot  community  in  the  accession  negotiation
delegation, and calls on Turkey to refrain from any unilateral steps that may hinder the accession process;

13. Welcomes  the  decision  to  create  the  European  Conference  inviting  the  applicant  countries  of
Central and Eastern Europe, Cyprus and Turkey to meet the EU Member States; requests the European
Council to reconsider its refusal to invite the President of Parliament to the meeting at the level of Heads of
State and Government, including the Commission President;

14.
Recalls its view that there is a need for a special relationship with Turkey at a high level that goes
beyond the existing Customs Union; welcomes the European Council(cid:146)s confirmation of Turkish eligibility
for accession to the EU, its commitment to judge Turkey by the same criteria as the other applicant states,
and  its  recognition  that  a  strategy  must  be  drawn  up  to  prepare  it  for  accession;  calls  on  Turkey  to
re-examine its early reaction to the invitation to participate in the European Conference; urges Turkey to
look again at the real opportunities which these decisions offer for an ever closer relationship;

C 14/182

19. 1. 98

Thursday 18 December 1997

15.
Calls  on  the  Commission  and  the  Council  to  provide  specific  confirmation  of  the  fact  that  the
development  aid  policy  implemented  by  the  European  Union,  in  particular  by  means  of  the  Lome·
conventions, is one of the Union(cid:146)s permanent features which must be perpetuated and which the countries
applying for accession will be required to accept;

Evolution of Union policies: Agenda 2000

16.
Notes the European Council(cid:146)s response to the Agenda 2000 proposals on the evolution of Union
policies, recalls its views, as set out in its abovementioned resolutions of 4 December 1997, and awaits
with interest the proposals which the Council has invited the Commission to present on Union policies and
on the financial framework;

17.
Calls on the Commission to present all the reforms of the different Common Market Organizations
as outlined in Agenda 2000, including the Mediterranean products and ensuring a coherent approach to all
sectors, and to extend the 1992 CAP reform to cover the major Mediterranean products; recalls that the
objectives  of  cohesion,  the  quality  and  safety  of  agricultural  products  and  better  integration  of
environmental elements into production methods are still the foundations of future agricultural policy;

18.

Emphasizes the desirability of carrying out a review of the system of own resources;

19. Welcomes the decision to base financial support to the countries in the enlargement process on the
principle of equal treatment, with particular attention to those countries with the greatest need;

20.
Insists on the need for the Council and the Commission to guarantee, in agreement with Parliament,
a reform of the Structural Funds which improves and deepens the economic and social cohesion policy
within the Union; welcomes the recognition of the importance of the Structural Funds for job creation;
underlines the value of regional cooperation with and among applicant countries and asks for all initiatives
in this area to be strengthened;

Observes  that  the  European  Council(cid:146)s  conclusions  endorse  its  own  view  that  the  cost  of
21.
enlargement  must  be  clearly  and  distinctly  mentioned  in  the  next  financial  perspectives  and  asks  the
Commission to make proposals accordingly;

22. Welcomes the decision to ask the Commission for a report on the Nordic dimension of the policies
of the EU;

Economic and Monetary Union

23. Welcomes  the  improved  coordination  of  economic  policies  (which  will  also  be  extended  to
Member States not included in the euro zone) in order to strengthen monetary union and ensure growth
and employment, as outlined in the resolution contained in Annex 1 of the conclusions of the European
Council;  welcomes  as  well  the  European  Council’s  determination  to  transform  the  broad  economic
guidelines into an effective instrument for ensuring sustained convergence of Member States(cid:146) economic
policies  and  calls  for  the  implementation  of  the  points  made  in  its  resolution  of  4  December  1997  on
economic policy coordination in the Stage 3 of EMU: common ground and ways forward (1);

Regrets  that  the  issue  of  transparency  in  the  process  of  economic  policy  coordination  was  not
24.
addressed by the European Council; expresses particular concern at the provision to restrict meetings of
the  Ecofin  Council  to  (cid:145)minister  plus  one  official(cid:146);  stresses  that,  in  order  to  inject  an  element  of
transparency into the coordination process, Parliament(cid:146)s role in the procedure set out in Articles 103 and
104 of the Treaty must be strengthened;

Considers,  furthermore,  that  the  vital  euro  project  will  create  its  own  momentum  towards

25.
integration;

Expresses the wish that all the states which fulfil the Maastricht criteria should be among the first

26.
group of EMU participants;

27. Welcomes  the  mandate  given  to  the  Council  and  to  the  European  Central  Bank  concerning  the
external  representation  of  the  Union  in  monetary  affairs  vis-a‘-vis  international  bodies  as  well  as  with
regard to relations with third States;

28.
Reiterates  its  view  that  the  Economic  and  Finance  Committee  should  consist  of  representatives
whose powers fully cover the economic policy element of the committee(cid:146)s remit; stresses that members of
the committee should be obliged to appear regularly before Parliament(cid:146)s competent committee;

29. Welcomes the recognition that, while ministers of Member States participating in the euro area may
meet informally among themselves to discuss issues connected with their shared specific responsibilities,
matters of common interest will be discussed by ministers of all Member States; welcomes in particular
the recognition that the Ecofin Council is the only body empowered by the Treaty to formulate and adopt
the broad economic guidelines;

Regrets, however, that the European Council was not in a position to appoint the future Governor of

30.
the Central Bank, since any delay in this connection cannot but harm confidence in monetary union;

Social aspects and employment

Thanks the Luxembourg Presidency for its great commitment and negotiating skills, making the
31.
Employment Summit a great success with tangible results which also reflect the European Parliament(cid:146)s
demands;

32.
Believes  that  the  mechanisms  adopted  at  the  Luxembourg  Employment  Summit  could  mark  an
important start for a more effective fight against unemployment in the EU; asks for the procedures set up
in  the  Treaty  of  Amsterdam  for  the  establishment  of  economic  and  employment  guidelines  to  be
conducted  in  parallel,  in  order  to  ensure  better  coordination  between  macroeconomic  and  structural
measures;  asks  the  Commission  to  ensure  that  a  high  quality  level  of  any  measure  needed  for  the
implementation of guidelines is taken into account by Member States;

33.
Calls for the procedure foreseen in Article 103 of the Treaty, and the procedure foreseen in the
future Article 128 of the Treaty, to be synchronized and carried out under the auspices of both the Ecofin
Council and the Social Affairs Council;

Believes  that  the  governments  should  play  a  key  role  in  creating  a  fiscal  and  legislative

34.
environment to promote social partners’ negotiations for reduction of working time;

35. Welcomes the employment guidelines to be regularly monitored under a common procedure and
incorporated into national employment action plans in a multiannual perspective as a first step towards a
coordinated European policy to overcome unemployment;

36.
Asks the Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, better to coordinate their strategy
approaches on human resources development; believes that, in order to ensure a high-quality European
workforce, the national budgets devoted to this scope should be substantially increased;

37. Welcomes  in  particular  the  results  of  the  Luxemburg  Employment  Summit  concerning  the
endorsement of the need to foster entrepreneurship, to improve employability and adaptability as well as
to implement equal opportunities;

38.
Asks the Council and the Commission to ensure that the financial facilities for SMEs will have a
lasting impact on job creation, providing in particular development and training plans, both for managers
and workers;

39.
Asks the Commission to set up, as soon as possible, the High Level Group of experts responsible
for  addressing  the  problem  of  industrial  change  and  its  impact  on  employment,  ensuring  a  balance  of
interest in the composition of the Group;

40.
Reminds  the  Council  and  the  Commission  of  the  strategic  interest  of  territorially  based  pilot
projects, also in the third sector, in promoting innovative patterns of job creation and the diffusion of best
practices;

41. Welcomes  the  joint  working  programme  of  the  Luxembourg,  British  and  Austrian  presidencies
which  guarantees  the  continuity  of  efforts  to  achieve  the  declared  objective  of  the  completion  of  the
internal market;

42.
Endorses the (cid:145)scoreboard(cid:146) submitted by the Commission as a tool for making the Member States
more aware of their responsibilities for the transposition and application, by the deadline laid down, of
Community Directives already approved and welcomes in particular the conclusion of the procedure for
the adoption of the Directive to facilitate the permanent exercise of the profession of lawyer in a Member
State other than that in which the qualification was acquired;

Fiscal matters

43. Welcomes  the  resolve  to  reduce  harmful  tax  competition  between  Member  States  by  reducing
existing distortions, and considers the code of conduct to be an appropriate first step to avoid harmful tax
competition;

44. Welcomes the efforts undertaken by the Luxembourg Presidency to relaunch the negotiations with
a view to harmonization of legislation on taxation on savings, and asks the Council to decide as soon as
possible on a clear and short timetable for decisions on all pending tax issues;

Justice and home affairs

Appreciates the practice of the Luxembourg Presidency of anticipating the consultation procedure
45.
contained  in  the  Amsterdam  Treaty  which  improves  European  cooperation  in  the  fields  of  justice  and
home affairs, and urges the UK and the following presidencies to continue this practice until the entry into
force of the Amsterdam Treaty;

46. Welcomes the progress achieved over the last six months in this area, and shares the regret of the
European  Council  that  an  important  step  in  the  fight  against  organized  crime  ›  the  ratification  of  the
Europol  Convention  ›  has  not  yet  been  completed;  regrets  that,  to  date,  none  of  the  third  pillar
conventions  adopted  has  been  ratified  by  all  Member  States;  regrets  also  the  continuing  inertia  in  the
Council over the free movement of persons;

The Middle East peace process

47. Welcomes the Council(cid:146)s conclusions on the Middle East peace process and shares the European
Council(cid:146)s deep concern over the lack of progress in implementing the Interim Agreements and the Hebron
Protocol and the continuing impasse with Syria and Lebanon;

Considers  that  a  special  effort  should  be  made  by  all  the  parties  concerned  in  order  to  ensure

resumption of the peace process so as to make it possible to move forward to negotiation of the aspects set
out in the final phase of the Oslo Agreements;

Stresses the importance of the adoption of the code of conduct prepared by the European Union and

49.
of effective dialogue being resumed between all the countries in the region;

Stresses  the  importance  of  people-to-people  programmes  as  an  essential  means  of  reinforcing

B4-1027, 1028, 1029, 1030, 1031 and 1032/97

Resolution on implementation of the legislative programme and other activities for 1997 and on the
Commission(cid:146)s work programme for 1998

The European Parliament,

›  having  regard  to  the  interinstitutional  agreement  on  democracy,  transparency  and  subsidiarity  of
25 October  1993  between  the  European  Parliament,  the  Council  and  the  Commission  concerning
transparency in the decision-making process of the Union(cid:146)s institutions (1),

›  having regard to the Code of Conduct agreed on 15 March 1995 between the European Parliament and

the Commission (2),

›  having regard to the Commission report on implementation of the Commission(cid:146)s programme for 1997

(SEC(97)1854),

›  having  regard  to  the  Commission(cid:146)s  work  programme  for  1998  (COM(97)0517)  and  the  new

legislative initiatives (SEC(97)1852),

›  having  regard  to  the  declaration  made  on  22  October  1997  by  Mr  Santer,  President  of  the
Commission,  and  to  the  debate  on  that  declaration  as  well  as  to  the  debate  of  17  December  1997
devoted to the same subject,

A.  whereas the annual legislative programme constitutes an indispensable interinstitutional instrument
for  programming  and  coordinating  the  Union’s  activities  in  a  transparent  and  efficient  way  and  in
accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, and whereas the Council must also be involved in it,

B.  whereas the legislative programme is an interinstitutional programme, which must be assessed on the

basis of the priorities laid down by the institutions concerned,

I.  Giving new impetus to interinstitutional cooperation as regards the legislative programme

Deplores  the  fact  that,  like  the  1996  programme,  the  1997  programme  has  only  been  partially
1.
implemented, given in particular that, of the 16 new legislative proposals promised by the Commission,
Parliament had received no more than seven by the end of November; emphasizes that the assessment of
the 1997 programme remains a dead letter in so far as the Commission has failed to give practical form to
the proposals it announced but did not actually submit; expects a detailed explanation as to why proposals
announced  in  1997  but  not  yet  submitted  are  now  no  longer  even  included  in  the  1998  legislative
programme  (notably  most  of  the  legislative  proposals  provided  for  in  the  Action  Plan  for  the  Single
Market); notes, further, that Parliament has had referred to it 40 procedures and 14 strategic documents
which did not appear either in the 1997 legislative programme or in the programme for 1996;

2.
Deplores the fact that 197 issues are currently pending before the Council awaiting a final decision
and that 88 are awaiting a common position without Parliament having been informed in all cases of the
reason for the deadlock and without the Commission having made use of its right of initiative to break the
deadlock;

3.
Reiterates its call for the list of actions envisaged for 1998 to contain information on the legal bases
of  the  proposals,  a  timetable  for  their  submission  and  any  other  information  required  for  the
interinstitutional coordination of work; asks, on grounds of transparency, for the new legislative initiatives
to be submitted to Parliament at the same time as the adaptations or technical amendments to existing
legislation, and for the latter to be given the status of official Commission documents;

4.
Calls on the Commission to draw up a list of legislative proposals under way and currently pending
before the Council, indicating those which should be withdrawn and those which should be replaced by
new proposals; calls on the Commission to ensure that any withdrawal of proposals is done in agreement
with  the  European  Parliament  and  that  Parliament  is  officially  informed  in  each  case  of  the  intended
withdrawal; points out, in this context, that several parliamentary committees have given the Commission
information as to the proposals to be withdrawn or replaced;

Notes the increasing number of strategic documents (communications, Green Papers, etc.) submitted
5.
by  the  Commission,  which  rose  from  nine  in  1990  to  104  in  1996,  notes,  further,  that  it  had  already
received 57 such documents by the end of the first half of 1997; is concerned that many such strategic
documents  are  too  wordy,  insufficiently  geared  towards  results  and  are  rarely  followed  by  legislative
proposals;  rejects  on  principle  the  withdrawal  of  legislative  proposals  already  submitted  and  their
replacement by strategic documents;

6.
Calls on the Commission to anticipate the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam and take the
necessary steps to ensure that the reforms adopted may be implemented as soon as ratification has taken
place; in this context, expects in particular the proposal on the revision of the commitology decision of
13 July 1987 which was announced by President Santer for early June 1998, a proposal on the alteration of
the legal bases of the pending proposals, which must be submitted in good time for Parliament to be able to
adopt its position thereon before the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, and the proposal on
access to documents provided for in Article 191a of the EC Treaty, a proposal which must also determine
the boundary between legislative and executive activity;

7.
Is concerned at the fact that most of the proposals for codification submitted by the Commission are
not yet adopted and calls on the Commission to undertake a detailed and quantified assessment as regards
codification and simplification;

Calls for the extension of the SLIM project to other areas such as the environment, free movement of

8.
and social security for migrant workers, health and safety at work, and public procurement;

Recalls that the Commission is obliged to take action on requests from Parliament for legislative
9.
initiatives  in  accordance  with  Article  138b  of  the  EC  Treaty  and  calls  on  the  Commission  to  submit
proposals as soon as possible based on the requests addressed to it (resolutions of 4 May 1994 on fire
safety in hotels (1), 20 April 1994 on preventing and remedying environmental damage (2), 17 April 1996
on the European health card (3), and 30 January 1997 on the European Union(cid:146)s forestry strategy (4));

10.
Concludes that interinstitutional cooperation as regards legislative planning is simply not working
and  that  the  Commission,  which  has  the  right  to  propose  legislation,  is  not  honouring  its  own
commitments; proposes, henceforth, the regular assessment › on the basis of a written document › of the
implementation  of  the  legislative  programme  involving  meetings  between  representatives  of  the
Commission, the Council and the European Parliament;

II.  The work programme for 1998

Defines  its  political  priorities  as  follows  and  calls  for  the  legislative  programme  for  1998  to  be

applied and supplemented by the measures outlined below;

12.
Hopes  that,  following  the  statement  made  on  19  November  1997  by  Mr  Oreja,  Member  of  the
Commission, the report setting out proposals for a comprehensive reform of the Treaties will be submitted
in good time, i.e. before the European Council meeting in December 1998;

Regrets  that  the  Commission(cid:146)s  stated  commitment  to  the  principle  of  mainstreaming  is  not

10. Olives and olive oil

A4-0374/97

Resolution on the Note to the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament on the olive and
olive  oil  sector  (including  economic,  cultural,  regional,  social  and  environmental  aspects),  the
current  common  market  organization,  the  need  for  a  reform  and  the  alternatives  envisaged  ›
Options Paper (COM(97)0057 › C4-0096/97)

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to the Commission’s note to the Council and Parliament, COM(97)0057 › C4-0096/97,

›  having regard to its resolution of 25 October 1996 on the reform of the COM in olive oil (1),

›  having regard to the report of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the opinions
of  the  Committee  on  Social  Affairs  and  Employment,  the  Committee  on  Regional  Policy  and  the
Committee on Budgetary Control (A4-0374/97),

A.  whereas the COM in olive oil has operated efficiently, allowing the olive sector to tackle competition
from other vegetable oils and fats which enjoy a high level of support and to develop external markets,
and has not given rise to surpluses; whereas in oil-producing regions it has played a dual role as a
marketing policy and as a way of stimulating rural development; whereas, however, a thoroughgoing
reform of the common organization of the market in olive oil is needed as a matter of the utmost
urgency for the fundamental reason that in the previous four marketing years at least there has been a
serious crisis affecting the main mechanisms for determining the quantities of olive oil produced by
each individual country and that every year there is a serious risk that the Commission may refuse
payment  of  Community  aid,  leading  to  a  permanent  and  indiscriminate  reduction  in  the  income
guarantees for olive growers and the possibility of serious repercussions for all those working in the
European olive and olive oil sector,

B.  whereas  two  million  holdings  depend  on  olive-growing  and  the  sector  provides  750  000  full-time
jobs; whereas the producing regions are characterized by their peripheral position and the need for
economic and social cohesion, they are the EU regions most dependent on agriculture, they have a rate
of unemployment twice the Community average and they are sensitive in both environmental and
regional  planning  terms;  whereas  olives  are  a  key  crop  in  this  situation,  where  there  are  few
alternatives,

C.  having regard to the internationally recognized dietary advantages of olive oil as a basic ingredient of

a healthy diet and the benefits it offers,

D.  whereas  the  analysis  of  the  sector  offered  in  the  options  paper  presented  by  the  Commission  has
serious shortcomings: the information is not homogeneous, it contradicts itself, it contains a great deal
of data which are either not up-to-date or of dubious origin and reliability and, above all, there are a
number of gaps in the information needed to diagnose the problems of the sector,

E.  whereas the Commission document only deals partially with one of the two options, aid per tree, and
does not deal with any aspect of improving the current system; whereas this imbalance detracts from
its usefulness as an options paper,

F.  whereas  the  Commission  recognizes  the  shortage  of  statistics  to  be  a  serious  problem,  but
nevertheless  proposes  the  use  of  statistics  which  it  itself  acknowledges  are  dubious  as  a  basis  for
investigating the two options envisaged,

G.  whereas the criticisms made of the Commission document as a basis for the drafting of legislative
proposals  were  discussed  in  detail  by  the  experts  who  took  part  in  the  public  hearing  held  by
Parliament(cid:146)s Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development on 15 April 1997,

H.  whereas  the  socio-economic,  climatic  and  environmental  conditions  of  the  producing  regions  are
critical; whereas when carrying out a reform, it is necessary to consider all the options and to carry out
a rigorous assessment of the social, economic and environmental impact of each of them; whereas the
Commission document does not assess this impact,

I.  whereas when formulating proposals for a reform the Commission should analyse employment and
the use of the factors of production in olive-growing and other possible forms of cultivation, as well as
carrying out an historical analysis of the sector by country and region and a full assessment of its role
in disadvantaged regions,

J.  whereas in considering the future of the market, the Commission uses International Olive Oil Council
(IOOC) projections, based on figures from before 1992-1993, which do not reflect the developments
on external markets; whereas, furthermore, the references to Community demand are based on a year
with abnormally high prices, after three years of drought; whereas after a normal marketing year and
the  consequent  fall  in  prices,  internal  demand  has  recovered  and,  therefore,  the  Commission’s
assessments should be revised to include more recent figures,

K.  whereas  there  are  market  studies  and  analyses  to  suggest  a  great  increase  in  demand  and  the  EU

should safeguard its position as the world’s leading producer, consumer and exporter,

L.  whereas export refunds consume some 3% of expenditure in the COM in olive oil and only 1% of total
refunds in all sectors; whereas despite this fact the Commission justifies the need for reform in the
possible requirements of the WTO and its justification does not have the necessary relevance,

M.  whereas the EU produces more than 80% of the world’s olive oil, third countries which produce olive
oil  have  guaranteed  adequate  access  to  the  Community  market  under  trade  agreements  and  the
equivalences scheme; whereas, therefore, there is no conflict to be expected in the WTO and hence the
Commission’s fears to this effect seem to be groundless,

C 14/192

EN

19. 1. 98

Thursday 18 December 1997

N.  whereas  the  Commission  has  not  fulfilled  the  task  assigned  it  by  Regulation  (EEC)  2261/84  and
amendments,  which  obliged  it  to  submit  to  the  Council,  before  1  January  1995,  a  report  on  the
operation  of  the  production  aid  system  and,  if  appropriate,  a  proposal  for  revising  this  system;
whereas the report is essential for the design of a system to control possible fraud,

O.  whereas the cases of fraud detected must be investigated thoroughly, since they involve a very small
number of operators, which should make it easy to carry out effective checks; whereas, on the other
hand, there are specialized monitoring bodies in this sector, whose main task is to detect fraud,

P.  whereas the Commission only makes proposals for the fraud monitoring system for the option of aid

per tree,

Q.  whereas in 1992 the Commission set up the (cid:145)Lachaux’ group of experts for the simplification of the
CAP  which,  in  its  report,  advocated  concentrating  inspections  on  authorized  oil  mills,  since  they
constitute  an  inevitable  stage  in  oil  production;  whereas  the  report  referred  to  the  possibility  of
introducing another specific aid mechanism for small holdings,

R  whereas, despite the repeated adjustments and amendments made to it over the years, long experience
of  implementing  the  COM  in  olive  oil  has  shown  that  genuine  and  effective  streamlining  of  the
procedures governing Community support is needed as a matter of urgency,

S.  whereas  in  recent  years  consumption  aid  has  had  little  influence  on  olive  oil  consumption  trends;
whereas it is not a measure which solely benefits olive oil produced in the EU, since it may also be
granted under certain conditions to oils from outside the Community; whereas in any case such aid
cannot be maintained and strengthened under the COM in olive oil since it is a measure which could
easily be challenged by the WTO on the grounds that it distorts competition,

T.  whereas a new integrated control system could be based on the requirement to market oil in any of its
forms,  including  self-regulated  consumption,  as  a  condition  for  releasing  aid;  whereas  an  aid  and
control system based on marketing would be efficient and reliable, since the bottling industries have,
in principle, an appropriate administrative and accounting structure; whereas such a system would
enable  the  monitoring  bodies  to  obtain  exhaustive  information  on  movements  of  oils  and  an
accounting system for stocks, making it possible to carry out cross-checks within an integrated system
and enabling progress to be made on the harmonization and complementarity of policies,

U.  whereas  there  are  two  million  olive  growing  holdings  in  the  European  Union  that  can  be  easily
monitored with the systems applied in some EU Member States and whereas the different treatment
accorded to small and large producers should be ended with regard to controls on production aid;
whereas, with this in view, the consumption aid system should be abolished in order to focus controls
on production and enhance the efficiency of the bodies carrying out this task,

V.  whereas the introduction of aid per tree as the Commission has proposed will, since it will not protect
actual production, entail environmental risks, the danger of depopulation of the countryside and the
introduction of speculative plantations; whereas any form of flat-rate aid, including aid per tree, not
only  does  not  ensure  that  farmers’  incomes  are  maintained  but  does  not  take  into  account  two
fundamental  objectives,  quality  and  market  stability,  in  view  of  the  great  annual  fluctuations  in
production,

W.  whereas harvesting olives accounts for 80% of labour costs and 70% of variable costs; whereas in the
case of aid per tree as proposed, which would not protect actual production, the right to subsidy would
be triggered at a very low level of expenditure and would mean a much weaker link with production
costs than in other forms of production which receive direct aid based on production costs, whereas
direct aid in the cereals sector is granted when 85% of the costs have been borne, in the case of cattle
premiums 98%, but in the olive sector when only 15% of farming costs have been incurred,

19. 1. 98

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 14/193

Thursday 18 December 1997

X.  whereas  aid  per  tree  as  proposed  will,  since  it  will  not  protect  actual  production,  lead  to  a
considerable reduction in the workforce, by encouraging the reduction of farming expenditure to a
minimum, which might lead to farmers not harvesting olives in certain circumstances, in order to
maximize the earnings of the recipient of the aid; whereas employment would fall in the regions
with highest unemployment, which are most dependent on agriculture and have the lowest GDP in
the EU,

Y.  whereas one of the objectives laid down in the Amsterdam Treaty is the promotion of a high level of
employment  through  appropriate  cooordination  of  economic  policies;  whereas  the  options
considered by the Commission are not compatible with the new Treaty, since they entail the risk of
large job losses,

Z.  whereas the current system of production aid already provides for the introduction and application
of olive cultivation registers in producer Member States, but whereas this provision has not been
observed  by  all  States  concerned;  whereas  olive  cultivation  registers  are  a  vital  instrument  for
accurate control to ensure that declared production matches the production potential of the farms
and  whereas  an  instrument  of  this  kind  is  particularly  necessary  when  the  aid  system  is  applied
uniformly to all producers on the basis of the quantity of olive oil actually obtained,

AA.  whereas the Court of Auditors has pointed out several times that a system which does not require
evidence  of  olives  being  harvested  and  processed  may  degenerate  into  a  system  of  aid  based  on
declarations of ownership which cannot be proven and allow aid to be obtained twice, but whereas
this is not possible in countries such as Italy where an olive cultivation register has been introduced,

AB.  whereas the determination of aid without regard to the actual production of the olive holdings would
sanction the injustice of granting the same amount of aid to inefficient producers and those who have
modernized their farms and invested labour, effort and money in obtaining higher quality produce,

AC.  whereas a form of aid which does not reward either the harvesting of olives or production of oil from
them would promote absenteeism in farming and nullify contracts based on yield or the allocation of
land and would only benefit owners of land who are not full-time farmers and have other sources of
income, which would undermine the principal objective of any COM, namely maintaining farmers’
income,

AD.  whereas  the  alternation  of  good  and  bad  years  in  olive-growing  makes  it  necessary  to  maintain
intervention and the intervention price as a minimum reference point on the market, together with
buffer  stocks  in  an  efficient  set-up  to  cover  any  Community  olive  oil  deficit;  whereas  the
Commission proposes, in the aid-per-tree option, to abolish intervention and, in order to improve the
present system, substantial restrictions, although the financial impact of intervention on olive oil is
much less than in other regulated sectors,

AE.  whereas  the  Commission  recognizes  that  the  system  applicable  to  small  farmers  gives  rise  to
statistical  problems  and  whereas  their  production  is  not  controlled  by  the  maximum  guaranteed
quantity (MGQ),

AF.  whereas  since  the  1992  CAP  reform  there  has  been  an  imbalance  in  expenditure  on  market
regulation to the advantage of continental products, which now account for 75% of the draft budget
for 1998 as opposed to around 70% in 1992, while Mediterranean products have fallen from 22% to
19%,

AG.  whereas Agenda 2000, which discriminates against Mediterranean products, is likely to accentuate

the imbalance in financial support between continental and Mediterranean products,

C 14/194

Thursday 18 December 1997

AH.  whereas  during  the  1996/97  marketing  year,  despite  the  record  level  of  production  of  1  859  400
tonnes,  there  have  hardly  been  any  intervention  surpluses  and  marketing  is  proceeding  in  a
satisfactory manner for all operators, with market prices appreciably higher than the intervention
price  throughout  the  marketing  year  in  all  the  producer  countries,  evidence  of  a  situation  very
different from the supposed conditions on which the Commission claims to have based its options
paper; whereas developments during the current marketing year belie the danger of surpluses and
demonstrate  the  absurdity  of  the  level  set  for  the  MGQ;  whereas  the  MGQ  established  in  1987
(1 350 000 tonnes) is less than Community consumption in 1996/97 (1 657 000 tonnes), causing
distortions in aid to producers owing to its level and its implementing arrangements; whereas, in
order to guarantee that demand is met at reasonable prices, the MGQ should be revised,

AI.  whereas there is a need to bring the COM in olive oil into line with the other COMs with regard to
the MGQ, adjusting its level up to Community consumption plus average exports and the necessary
security margin and, specifically, there is a need to establish national reference quantities (NRQs),
based on an objective estimate of production trends, in order to make each producer Member State
responsible for  the effects of  exceeding the MGQ in proportion to the volume of the production
obtained,

AJ.  whereas certain fundamental parameters of the current COM, such as the determination of yield, are
not regulated uniformly in the olive-producing Member States, which causes serious distortions in
its operation; whereas their harmonization is one of the main factors which the Commission should
take into account before any future reform,

AK.  whereas a balance must be achieved in support for the various vegetable oils, taking into account
consumption  needs,  the  absorption  of  factors  of  production  and  the  impact  of  direct  or  indirect
public aid on the commercial value of the various oils and on the number of jobs linked to each form
of production,

AL.  whereas in the main olive-producing Member States the bottling of mixtures of olive oil and seed oil
is  prohibited  but  in  non-producing  countries  it  is  authorized,  and  hence  they  can  be  marketed
throughout  the  EU,  to  the  detriment  of  the  consumer;  whereas  the  Commission  must  draw  up
proposals to ban such mixtures,

AM.  whereas  the  sub-sector  of  table  olives  does  not  have  support  mechanisms  to  help  it  withstand
international  competition  and  this  can  cause  distortions  in  the  COM  in  olive  oil;  whereas  the
sub-sector plays an important role in the operation of the COM, since when there is a good harvest it
may help to regulate the market; whereas a specific aid system supplementing the funds intended for
olive  oil  should  be  applied  to  it;  whereas  this  system  should  be  easy  to  control  and  should  take
account  of  the  long  period  of  time  needed  for  the  preparation  of  table  olives  before  they  are
marketed,

I.  General comments

Points out that experience in the operation of the COM suggests that it has helped to maintain a fair
1.
level of income for producers, has encouraged the modernization of cultivation and holdings, improved
the quality of the product, helped protect the environment and has ensured that Community olive oil has
continued to expand on the markets of third countries, as well as being one of the few sectors without
structural surpluses; further points out that the balance between supply and demand can be maintained
provided that the EU applies a more vigorous and sustained policy to promote olive oil consumption, both
on its own territory and in third countries; considers, however, that the trend in supply and in the markets
calls for the adoption of a new COM at an early date, in order to maintain and consolidate the results
obtained  by  the  industry  in  the  EU’s  peripheral  regions  for  employment,  earnings  and  environmental
protection;

C 14/195

Thursday 18 December 1997

2.
Considers that the Commission must revise and check the figures given in its options paper when it
makes  legislative  proposals,  and  rectify  the  damage  inflicted  on  the  production  sector  through  the
application of the current system, which may cause serious and permanent disruption of an economic and
social nature;

3.
Stresses the important role played by this sector in maintaining employment in these regions, both
directly in production, and indirectly in upstream and downstream sectors, which provides a significant
stimulus for regional development; any reform must therefore constantly take into account the need to
respect the principle of economic and social cohesion;

4.
Considers  that  the  shortcomings  of  the  Commission(cid:146)s  options  paper  as  regards  describing  and
diagnosing the situation in the sector, the failure to analyze the consequences of the options considered
and the fact that only one of them is considered in detail, make it invalid as an adequate basis for a reform
of the COM and recommends to the Commission that it should revise and complete its analyses when it
submits legislative proposals, in order to avoid the risk of social, economic and environmental problems;

5.
Notes  that  the  Commission  has  failed  to  comply  with  its  obligation,  under  Regulation  (EEC)
2261/84, to submit to the Council and Parliament a report on the operation of the aid system for olive oil,
which Parliament reminded it of in its abovementioned resolution of 25 October 1996;

6.
Rejects aid per tree as a basic option for the reform of the COM as proposed by the Commission, as it
will not protect actual production, since it entails a high risk of job losses, environmental damage and a
deterioration in the quality of the final product;

II.  Main elements on which to base the future COM

Calls on the Commission to submit legislative proposals for a reform of the COM and to base them

7.
on:

(a)  the granting of a single form of production aid which guarantees a fair income for all producers on the
basis of the quantity of oil actually produced, by including small producers in the general system of
production aid, in order to facilitate the carrying out of controls; by guaranteeing olive growers fair
profits for maintaining the necessary volume of production and marketing of olive oil; by creating an
additional system of aid to small farms; and by introducing the environmental and regional planning
rules necessary to preserve sensitive areas;

(b)  increasing the MGQ to bring it into line with the total of Community consumption, average annual

exports and a margin for security; establishing NRQs for the producer Member States;

(c)  final abolition of the consumption aid and the introduction of an effective instrument that will make it

possible to set up an integrated control system from production to consumption;

(d)  maintaining the intervention mechanism and the intervention price, with measures for private storage
and buffer stocks as an efficient system to ensure the stability of markets and prices in a sector where
production levels vary considerably from year to year;

(e)  creating a supplementary system of support for small farmers to promote employment and maintain

the rural population;

(f)  the uniform regulation in all the olive-producing Member States of the main parameters of the COM,
in order to avoid such things as a repetition of the current situation as regards the calculation of yield
and the failure to set up a uniform register of olive cultivation;

(g)  the  implementation  and  financing,  inter  alia  through  resources  derived  from  the  abolition  of
consumption aid, of a global policy for the promotion of consumption and quality, by means of a
policy of projecting and promoting the product and looking for new markets, including a ban on the
marketing  of  mixtures  of  olive  oil  and  other  oils,  in  order  to  guarantee  consumers  an  authentic
product, and introducing effective incentives for quality production;

C 14/196

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

19. 1. 98

Thursday 18 December 1997

(h)  the operation of an integrated Community control system, based on the marketing of oil as the trigger
for  aid,  to  increase  cooperation  between  national  and  Community  control  bodies  and  ensure  the
transparency  of  aid,  and  the  rapid  introduction  in  all  producer  countries  of  an  integrated  control
system that is simple, reliable and effective and capable of preventing fraud, on pain of suspension of
aid;

(i)  the introduction of specific and effective measures to support activities relating to concentration of
supply,  placing  products  on  the  market,  promotion,  crop  improvement,  technological  innovation,
environmental  protection  and  quality  improvement,  through  the  producers’  organizations  and  their
unions, thereby strengthening the importance of their role;

(j)  a modification of inward processing traffic in olive oil, making it an exclusive regulating mechanism,
revising the equivalences system and authorizing this system only when a deficit in Community olive
oil has been established which cannot be remedied using buffer stock;

(k)  the creation of a system of production aid for table olives, replacing the rules under budget heading

B1-184, which has proved totally ineffective, and providing it with adequate funding;

(l)  support  for  the  olive  oil  sector  by  improving  management  and  developing  and  increasing  existing

resources to project and promote the product and seek new markets;

(m) the  overall  simplification  of  the  system  which  is  necessary  for  increased  transparency  needed  for

combating fraud in the sector;

III. Specific requests to the Commission

8.
Acknowledges identified problems of controllability and resulting fraud, which are, however, less
dramatic than the Commission’s note suggests; nevertheless urges the Commission to prove convincingly
the necessity, feasibility and budgetary neutrality of any option in order to avoid the risk of unforeseen
developments and an increase in unemployment which would affect less favoured and vulnerable regions;

9.
Urges  the  Commission  to  take  account  in  its  legislative  proposals  of  the  disparities  between
agricultural regions, the need to make the necessary changes gradually and the link between agriculture
and the economy as a whole;

10.
Expresses the wish that the Commission will insist that countries that have not yet done so establish
a comprehensive olive cultivation register, which can serve as a basis for the necessary survey to assess
the regional impact of the proposed reform and be useful in combating fraud;

11.
Considers that the Commission must draw up and submit a study into the implications of the GATT
Agreements and the policy of export refunds on olive production and on workers’ incomes, and a thorough
and comprehensive study of the outlook for the international olive oil market, and the ways and means of
maintaining the EU’s position as an olive oil exporter;

Again urges the Commission, as requested in Parliament’s resolution of 10 April 1997 containing
12.
the  comments  which  form  part  of  the  decision  giving  discharge  to  the  Commission  in  respect  of  the
implementation  of  the  general  budget  of  the  European  Union  for  the  financial  year  1995 (1),  to  apply
immediately all the controls made available by the legislation in force, without waiting for the introduction
of the future reform;

13.
Calls on the Commission to respect the Amsterdam Treaty, in particular its objective of promoting a
high  level  of  employment  as  a  key  element  in  the  coordination  of  economic  policies,  and  not  to  put
forward proposals which threaten to destroy employment;

Thursday 18 December 1997

IV.  Further comments

14.
Insists, in view of the forecasts of growth in demand for olive oil on international markets and to
support the product on the internal market, that the EU must develop a policy for increasing the quality of
the product as a natural product and prohibiting its blending with other oils, to improve competitiveness
and increase exports and consequently maintain or increase employment and productivity;

15.
Repeats that, in order to protect olive growing and combat fraud, and in the interests of the ever
increasing number of consumers, the olive growers’ representative bodies and associations and their role
in control procedures must be strengthened;

Considers that, to strengthen this sector, better management and development and an increase in

16.
existing resources to present and promote this product are required;

17.
Points  out,  for  example,  that  the  income  aids  provided  for  sectors  such  as  arable  crops,  dairy
products  and  beef  and  veal  are  essentially  compensatory  in  nature  to  offset  the  differences  between
domestic prices and international prices;

Notes also the lack of uniformity in compensatory aid, adjustment aid, aid for environmental and
18.
social  services,  etc.,  and  calls  on  the  Commission  to  spell  out  its  objectives  and  clearly  define  the
objectives of the CAP;

19.
Considers that the Commission should draw up a general framework for possible variations in aid
going beyond the olive oil sector and that this general framework should set out the different production
methods and govern the relationship between aid and socio-economic, regional and environmental criteria
(cross-compliance);

20.
Is concerned lest future budgetary savings at the level of the COM in olive oil result in greater
pressure on Structural Fund spending, notably greater expenditure on ongoing CSFs for each Member
State;

Calls on the Commission to define the concept of (cid:145)budgetary neutrality’ and to say whether it is a

21.
key element in the reform of the CAP or any of the sectors concerned;

22.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission.

communications tools, such as the Internet and product placement;

Is aware of the momentum that the proposed US tobacco settlement can bring to combating tobacco

4.
consumption;

5.

Notes the consistent scientific evidence on dangers related to passive smoking;

States that everyone has the right to breathe clean air and that this right must always prevail over the

6.
right to smoke;

7.
Points  out  that  tobacco  consumption  in  public  and  at  the  workplace  imposes  enormous  costs  on
society  in  terms  of  deteriorating  public  and  private  facilities,  higher  expenditure  on  maintaining
cleanliness at the workplace, in our cities and on our beaches, and as a cause of forest fires;

Supports  measures  aimed  at  banning  smoking  in  the  working  environment  in  order  to  improve

8.
workers(cid:146) health and safety;

Notes that if children and adolescents can be successfully prevented from taking up smoking and

9.
becoming addicted, they are unlikely to acquire the habit later in life;

Supports concrete measures aimed at reducing children(cid:146)s and adolescents(cid:146) exposure and access to

10.
tobacco products, such as:

›  a ban on tobacco vending machines and self-service displays, making it possible only to sell tobacco

products over the counter;

›  a ban on cigarette package sizes primarily aimed at young consumers;

› 

the introduction of a Community-wide age limit of 18 years for the purchase of tobacco products;

› 

increases in the price of tobacco in real terms;

Believes  that  the  Commission  should  propose  the  harmonization  of  tobacco  tax  with  a  view  to

11.
establishing a minimum level, the aim being to reduce consumption;

Recommends  careful  monitoring  of  developments  in  the  display  of  nicotine  levels  on  packets

12.
throughout the Community;

13.
Regrets  that  hand-rolling  tobacco  is  not  subject  to  any  standards  for  maximum  permitted  tar
content; calls urgently on the Commission to make hand-rolling tobacco subject to the same standards for
tar content as cigarettes;

Supports the review of existing test methods for determining tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide

14.
yields;

Recommends that any substance added to tobacco should be indicated on the label and should be

proven not to have any harmful effects on health in burnt or unburnt form;

16.
Recommends  that,  in  accordance  with  the  comprehensive  existing  legislation  in  the  European
Union  and  the  Member  States,  any  substances  added  to  tobacco  should  be  non-toxic  and  have  been
demonstrated to be free of effects damaging to health;

17.
Considers that the relationship between excise duties levied on cigarettes and those on hand-rolling
tobacco must be reviewed, and calls on the Commission to draw up as speedily as possible a proposal
under which excise duty on hand-rolling tobacco would progressively be increased to the level of that on
cigarettes;

18.
Urges  the  Commission  to  set  up  an  Inter-Institutional  Committee  (Council,  Commission  and
Parliament) to investigate, with the assistance of scientific committees, whether tobacco companies are
incorporating additives into tobacco in order to intensify addiction to nicotine;

B4-1042, 1051, 1059, 1063, 1072, 1076 and 1081/97

Resolution on the 1997 Convention on the prohibition and destruction of anti-personnel mines

The European Parliament,

›  having  regard  to  its  previous  resolutions  on  landmines,  which  called  for  a  complete  ban  on

anti-personnel mines,

›  having regard to the Convention on the prohibition of the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of
anti-personnel mines and on their destruction signed by 122 states in Ottawa on 3 and 4 December
1997,

A.  whereas the Ottawa Convention meets its demands for an international instrument imposing a total
ban on anti-personnel mines with no exceptions, each country adhering to the Ottawa Convention
committing itself (cid:145)never, under any circumstances(cid:146) to use anti-personnel mines,

B.  whereas  it  has  been  involved  in  the  (cid:145)Ottawa  Process(cid:146)  to  establish  such  an  instrument  since  it  was

launched in October 1996,

C.  whereas the number of states that have signed the Ottawa Convention is considerably higher than
might  have  been  expected  and  marks  a  very  significant  step  in  ridding  the  world  of  these  brutal
weapons,

D.  whereas the Convention will only enter into force six months after it has been ratified by 40 states,

E.  noting with approval that Canada, Ireland and Mauritius have already deposited their instruments of

ratification,

F.  whereas it is important that more countries should now proceed to sign it,

G.  whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the Convention, it is essential now to move swiftly to

ensure its effective implementation,

H.  whereas the momentum gathered in the campaign to ban anti-personnel mines must be maintained not
only to widen adherence to the Convention but also to pursue efforts to clear mines and rehabilitate
victims,

I.  whereas the Convention provides for all signatories to destroy all anti-personnel mines in mined areas
under their control no later than ten years after its entry into force and, where possible, to assist others
in mine clearance and related activities,

J.  whereas the European Union and its Member States are currently the largest contributors outside the

United Nations of funds and expertise for mine clearance,

Congratulates the Canadian Government in having successfully organized the negotiation of such a

1.
binding and watertight convention in such a short period of time;

2. Welcomes  the  significant  role  played  by  the  Commission  in  the  campaign  against  anti-personnel
mines and in particular its full and effective support for the (cid:145)Ottawa Process(cid:146);

3.
Commends the 14 EU Member States which have signed the Convention for having done so and
calls on the Finnish Government to sign as soon as possible, in the realization that any possible military
advantages of anti-personnel mines are far outweighed by their disastrous humanitarian effects and that
worldwide respect for the Convention is vital;

C 14/202

19. 1. 98

Thursday 18 December 1997

4.
Considers  that  the  EU(cid:146)s  leading  position  in  the  fight  against  anti-personnel  mines  would  be
strengthened by having the 14 Member States which have signed the Convention among the first 40 states
to  ratify  it  and  urges  these  Member  States  therefore  to  do  their  utmost  to  expedite  their  ratification
procedures with the aim of completing them by mid-1998;

5.
Is  pleased  to  see  that,  of  those  countries  applying  for  membership  of  the  European  Union,  eight
(Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia)
have already signed the Convention and calls on Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Turkey to do so in the near
future;

6.
Urges  all  states  which  have  not  yet  signed  the  Convention,  and  in  particular  the  United  States,
Russia, China, and India, which have as producing countries a major role to play, to do so during 1998 and
to halt immediately all exports of anti-personnel mines; calls on the Commission and the Council to raise
this  question  at  all  appropriate  meetings  with  countries  linked  to  the  European  Union  by  trade  and
cooperation or other agreements, declarations or action plans;

7.
Calls upon all Member States to take the necessary administrative, legislative and other measures at
national  level  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  Convention  and  to  provide  assistance  to  severely
mine-affected countries for the destruction of stockpiles of anti-personnel mines, clearance of emplaced
mines and vastly increased programmes of assistance to mine victims;

8.
Calls for effective coordination of international efforts in mine clearance and in the rehabilitation of
victims by states, international organizations and NGOs, perhaps involving the creation of an international
steering  committee  and  working  groups  for  appropriate  technology,  information  management  and
afflicted country actions, with a strong EU involvement;

9.
Points out that such a coordinated approach, apart from ensuring that aid is disbursed efficiently,
could enable afflicted countries to deal with a single organization rather than having to devise complicated
programmes involving myriad organizations;

10.
Calls on the UN Conference on Disarmament to consider the question of anti-personnel mines with
a view to promoting a ban thereon amongst the non-signatory countries and to securing firm undertakings
from those countries concerning the banning of such mines;

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments

11.

has helped trigger serious human rights violations,

the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians;

Supports the imposition of an international arms embargo on both sides in the conflict and calls on

3.
the Member States to act accordingly;

4.
Supports the reactivation by the United Nations of a commission of inquiry on arms flows to the

(a)  B4-1046, 1053, 1069, 1078 and 1088/97

Resolution on Nigeria

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to common position 95/544/CFSP of 4 December 1995, defined by the Council on the

basis of Article J.2 of the EU Treaty, on Nigeria (1),

›  having regard to the Council Decisions of 28 November 1997 to extend the validity of the common

position referred to above (2), concerning its implementation (3),

›  having regard to its previous resolutions on Nigeria,

A.  whereas the democratic process in Nigeria was brutally interrupted in 1993 with the annulment of the

presidential elections and the establishment of a military regime led by General Abacha,

B.  deeply  concerned  by  the  repeated  violations  of  human  rights  by  the  Nigerian  regime,  despite  all
international pressure seeking to achieve the restoration of democracy, independence of the judicial
system, the rule of law, freedom of the press and respect for human rights in the country,

C.  shocked by the death of General Shehu Musa Yar(cid:146)Adua while being held as a political prisoner in
Nigeria,  one  of  the  main  political  opponents  of  the  current  regime  who  had  been  imprisoned  in
inhuman conditions since 1995,

D.  deeply concerned by the conditions of detention of the other political prisoners and by the constant

harassment, persecution and arrests of members of the democratic opposition,

E.  whereas on 28 November 1997 the Council only prolonged the sanctions against Nigeria by one year,
despite the fact that these sanctions have been breached in part and have not been effective; concerned
by the manipulation of these sanctions in their favour by certain oil companies operating in Nigeria,

F.  deploring the fact that Nigeria(cid:146)s prosperity brought about through its oil wealth prompts some parts of

the international community to show a culpable indulgence towards that country,

G.  regretting that an exception has been made to enable Nigeria to participate in the football World Cup
and that an opportunity to influence human rights policy in Nigeria rights has thus been lost,

1.
Reiterates  its  condemnation  of  the  military  regime  in  Nigeria  which  continues  systematically  to
violate  fundamental  human  rights  and  to  oppress  its  opponents  and  all  the  democratic  forces  in  the
country;

2.
Notes that the sanctions currently applied by the European Union against Nigeria have not proved to
be really effective and calls, therefore, on the European Union and its Member States to be vigilant with
regard to the effectiveness of the implementation of its sanctions;

Stresses that an international oil embargo would be the most effective way of depriving the military

3.
junta of its main source of revenue and forcing the Nigerian authorities to restore democracy;

opposed to the military regime;

General and the co-presidents of the ACP-EU Joint Assembly.

to six months in prison and five years(cid:146) deprivation of civil rights,

E.  drawing attention to the existence of large numbers of refugees and displaced persons, who are still

REMARKS:

Enter the following remarks:

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 130r thereof.

This appropriation is intended to cover the implementation, monitoring, assessment and reporting on the environmental dimension
of  the  programmes  and  projects  undertaken  via  budget  Chapters  B2-10,  B2-11,  B2-12,  B2-13,  B2-14,  B2-18,  B2-30  and  B2-40.
Special consideration shall be given to ensuring that the policy areas covered by the aforementioned lines contribute quantitatively
and  qualitatively  to  the  achievement  of  the  objectives  outlined  by  the  Community  Action  Programme  on  the  Environment  and
Sustainable Development.

A consolidated report shall be presented to the budgetary authority for its consideration in the discharge procedure.

This appropriation covers the financing of studies, analyses, organizational measures, meetings for the dissemination of information
and exchange of experience, and an examination of the best forms and methods of implementation, monitoring and control by the
Commission and the Member States of the environmental aspects of the above-mentioned budget lines and is to guarantee that,
through application of the principle of sustainable development, environmental protection is included in all Community policies, so
that the impact on the environment of Community actions is taken into account before any appropriations are granted.

In the field of artistic projects, preference will be given to organizations which fulfil several of the following criteria:

(a)  organizations,  foundations  or  groups  whose  projects  actively  encourage  and  promote  participation  by  young  people,  with

particular attention given to those from underprivileged and multicultural backgrounds;

(b)  organizations, foundations or groups whose projects raise the profile of the European Union;

(c)  organizations, foundations or groups whose projects provide training to enhance employment opportunities;

(d)  organizations, foundations or groups whose projects are based in the regions, and not in capital cities;

(e)  organizations, foundations or groups which have demonstrated experience in the project area.

In the arts, the appropriations earmarked for music projects will be allocated to various fields of music, such as jazz, opera, classical
and choral, with the aim of increasing access to them for the general public.

These appropriations are also intended to fund a prize (to be presented and awarded in the European city of culture) which will
enable the successful work to be distributed and promoted throughout the European Union.

Organizations, foundations or musical groups whose projects benefit from this appropriation must have members from at least four
Member States.

the development of European cultural policy in the European Union; they must be organized in such a way as to be democratically
accountable  to  their  members;  they  must  create  substantive  links  between  the  sector  they  represent  and  the  institutions  of  the
European Union, and must represent a significant proportion of organizations in the relevant cultural sector in Europe; they must
also have demonstrated experience in the project area at European level.

3.

proposals procedure to be launched promptly and a related report will be submitted to Parliament before the end of February 1998.
In the selection of projects and organizations, the European dimension will be of paramount importance. Except for the second

operational expenditure.

70% of the allocations are to be paid within three months of approval. No amount allocated will be under ECU 50 000.

All  projects  benefiting  from  appropriations  entered  against  this  item  will  be  required  to  show  clearly  on  all  information  and

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of general information and permanent communication measures concerning the
European Union, implemented jointly by the European institutions, and designed to provide European citizens with information
about Europe. The European Union(cid:146)s information and communication policy must take duly into account the differing views and
philosophies with regard to the European integration process.

These  multi-faceted  information  and  discussion  measures  include  opinion-polling,  impact  assessment,  visits,  publications,
audiovisual  productions,  documentary  and  computerized  information  activities  and  Europe-wide  operations  directed  at  specific
target audiences such as young people or women, decentralized operations to meet the specific needs of given countries or regions,
and representational duties in political circles.

A minimum amount of 30% of the appropriation entered against this article is intended for coordinating the information activities
implemented by the European Union at an interinstitutional level, in order to set up a European Information System with a view to
better  value  for  money  and  communication  with  citizens  according  to  guidelines  to  be  drawn  up  in  the  framework  of  an
interinstitutional dialogue at the highest level of the European Parliament and the Commission.

institutions provided by Euronews on the basis of an information contract.

These measures will be aimed at public opinion in general, opinion-leaders and specific target groups (including women and young
people) in order to foster a better understanding of the objectives and reality of European integration and the methods used to achieve
it, in a context of dialogue between the institutions, firms and citizens.

The  Commission  is  assisted  by  an  advisory  working  party  comprising  representatives  of  Parliament  and  the  Commission  ›
the Working Party on Ongoing Information Activities, chaired by the Commission.

The Commission submits to the working party for its opinion the annual ongoing information work programme.

A  maximum  amount  of  ECU  200  000  may  cover  expenditure  on  studies,  meetings  of  experts,  conferences  and  congresses,
information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part,
excluding expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication
of 22 April 1992).

host institutions for relatively short periods (one week to approximately one month) to increase
the number of participants involved. Research grants for faculty and students would support both
short  and  long-term  projects.  The  European  Community  Studies  Association  (ECSA)  of  the
United States, an organization of 900 individuals and 50 institutions dedicated to the study of the
European  Union,  should  be  given  responsibility  for  coordinating  and  administering  such  a
programme.

›  Electronic Resources and Long-Distance Learning

A proposal already submitted could establish a joint EU-US digital library collection, accessible
on the Internet, featuring material of interest to researchers and the general public in Europe and
the US. The project is designed to promote ongoing cooperation between national libraries, other
research libraries, and research and education communities.

3.  Transatlantic Houses

The 1995 EU/US summit in Berlin called for joint actions to foster political and social development in
Central and Eastern European countries. Implementation of this commitment would be through the
progressive joint creation of a (cid:145)Transatlantic House(cid:146) in the Ukraine, first to serve as an information
point on partners(cid:146) support programmes in those countries, and then extended to house jointly financed
democracy  programmes.  Matching  funding  would  be  required  from  the  United  States  for  such  a
scheme to operate.

4.  Civil Society Actions

One of the major goals of the New Transatlantic Agenda is the building of bridges across the Atlantic.
A  key  proposal  put  forward  has  been  to  establish  a  coordinating  mechanism  to  monitor  and  help
implement  identified  initiatives  aimed  at  promoting  and  developing  civil  society.  This  amount  is
intended to support activities specifically involving citizen-to-citizen links under the umbrella of the
Transatlantic Civil Society Dialogue. Matching funding would be required from the United States.
Furthermore,  independent  funders  would  be  expected  to  supplement  such  funding.  An  annual
evaluation report on these activities will have to be submitted by the Commission to the budgetary
authority by 30 June of the following year.

Amend second paragraph as follows:

It also covers the support of the establishment and maintenance of rehabilitation centres for torture victims and their families and
other organizations offering concrete help to victims of human rights abuses, in particular in East Timor.

Delete the fourth and fifth paragraphs.

After fifth paragraph, add the following remark:

The funds entered against this item may also be used to finance non-governmental organizations and organizations which provide
legal advice or aid to persons or associations in need thereof.

Sixth paragraph, fourth indent › amend as follows:

›  promote and protect women(cid:146)s rights, including action to combat trafficking in women,

After eighth paragraph, add the following remark:

This appropriation may also be used to contribute to the creation of the European Network for Human Rights and Democratization,
and to ensure that information on European Union policy and on European-Union-financed programmes/projects to promote human
rights and democracy is collected, analysed, updated and circulated by means of the new electronic media, in particular the Internet.

An amount of ECU 200 000 is intended for the European Foundation for Freedom of Expression.

After 11th paragraph, add the following new paragraphs:

This appropriation also covers the financing of specific measures to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, including two major conferences, one to evaluate the democratization programmes in many parts of the world, and
the other to examine the prospects for human rights in the twenty-first century. The conferences will also address the situation of
minorities and the question of minority rights.

It is also intended to support other activities related to the 50th anniversary, and particularly to activities likely to contribute to
better  implementation  of  the  Declaration.  These  could  also  include  an  event  to  celebrate  the  10th  anniversary  of  the  European
Parliament’s Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, a human rights poster competition and a schools essay or poetry competition.
It would also support the provision to schools of new educational material on the European Union and human rights.

Utilization  of  this  item  must  take  account  of  the  specific  requirements  of  the  institutions  and  non-governmental  organizations
working in the human rights field and of the administrative constraints peculiar to international organizations, particularly those
linked to the United Nations system.

It must, in particular, be possible for Community resources to be mobilized quickly when emergency operations are involved.

The  Commission  may  submit  a  proposal  for  additional  transfers  to  this  item  in  accordance  with  the  political  priorities  and  the
amounts already used by the non-governmental organizations, under Article 26(7) of the Financial Regulation.

To this end care must be taken to ensure that the funds for rehabilitation of the victims of torture are not in any way reduced, and that
where financial resources permit they should be increased to the maximum possible.
