market in eggs (1), as last amended by Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 1516/96 (2), and in particular Article 8 (3)
thereof,

Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75
provides that the difference between prices on the world
market for the products listed in Article 1 (1) of that
Regulation and prices for those products within the

refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit
Community participation in world trade and would also

COUNCIL

EC/US  VETERINARY  AGREEMENT

(98/C  122/01)

When  adopting  the  Decision  on  the  conclusion  of  the  Agreement  between  the  European
Community  and  the  United  States  of  America  on  sanitary  measures  to  protect  public  and
animal  health  in  trade  in  live  animals  and  animal  products(cid:216)(˛),  the  Council  approved  the
following  declaration:

"The  Council  takes  note  of  the  exchange  of  letters  between  the  Commission  and  the
United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  and  agrees  to  include  these  letters  in  its  minutes.

The  Council  stresses  that  these  letters  are  an  essential  element  of  its  decision  relating  to
the  approval  of  the  EC/US  Veterinary  Agreement.

The  Council  and  the  Commission  consider  that  the  political  commitments  set  out  in  these
implementation  of  the
letters  are  essential  to  ensure  a  proper,  balanced  and  full 
Agreement.

The  Commission  undertakes,  that  in  accordance  with  the  procedure  foreseen  in  Article  4
of  the  Council  Decision,  it  will  utilize  the  provisions  of  Article  14  of  the  Agreement  to
deal  with  any  problems  of  implementation  which  arise,  bearing  in  mind,  in  particular,  the
importance  attached  by  the  Council  in  its  decision  to  the  letters  from  the  United  States.
The  Commission  also  undertakes  that,  should  problems  of  the  nature  referred  to  above
prove  impossible  to  resolve,  it  will  take  the  necessary  procedural  steps  to  enable  the
Council  to  take  the  action  foreseen  under  Article  16  of  the  Agreement  and  will  use  the
resources  on  which  the  Community  may  call  pursuant  to  Article  2  of  this  Agreement.

In  any  case  it  is  clear  that  the  Commission  needs  to  take  a  number  of  implementing
decisions  within  the  framework  of  the  Standing  Veterinary  Committee.  The  Commission
foresees  that  the  implementation  into  national  legislation  will  take  a  few  months,  in
conformity  with  Article  8  of  the  Agreement,  from  the  moment  of  the  signing  of  the
Agreement.  During  this  period  the  Commission  will  closely  monitor  the  implementation
on  the  US  side.

The  Council  agrees  to  publish  this  declaration  and  the  abovementioned  letters  in  the
Official  Journal  of  the  European  Communities  (series  C).’

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1257/98 by Gerhard HAGER to the Commission. Enlargement - control of external frontiers - transitional periods  


Official Journal C 354 , 19/11/1998 P. 0085 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1257/98 by Gerhard Hager (NI) to the Commission (21 April 1998)Subject: Enlargement - control of external frontiers - transitional periodsOne of the four basic freedoms of the European Communities is the free movement of persons, implementation of which is to be achieved, inter alia, by the abolition of internal frontier controls. At the same time, however, increasing importance is being attached to the need for appropriate measures to guarantee the security of individuals, which is to be secured through the area of freedom, security and law. Subsidiary measures to accompany the opening of the internal frontiers are seen as crucial. Efficient control of the external frontiers is repeatedly deemed to be one of those subsidiary measures.1. Does the Commission believe that any applicant countries already meet existing EU standards for the control of external frontiers?2. If not, what shortcomings are particularly manifest, and on which studies does the Commission base its view?3. How does the Commission feel that it will be able to eliminate these shortcomings?4. Does the Commission take the view that transitional periods are sensible in this connection, and of what length does it feel such transitional periods should realistically be?In answering the above questions, please concentrate on the countries likely to figure in the first wave of accessions and use data from the period following the submission of Agenda 2000 in July 1997.Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (27 May 1998)In accordance with the decisions of the Amsterdam and Luxembourg European Councils, the applicant countries must meet the Schengen standards regarding external frontier controls. The Schengen acquis is currently being formulated in the Council.It will be possible to provide detailed answers to the questions put only when the Council has established the Schengen acquis and has examined the extent to which the applicant countries have adopted it.Nevertheless, on the basis of what has been established so far, the Commission considers that in certain respects the applicant countries still have to make considerable efforts to ensure the security of the external frontiers.It is primarily the responsibility of the applicant countries to eliminate the shortcomings. The Commission will, however, support such efforts with the existing Community programmes, especially PHARE.
