A minority abstains.

3. The Advisory Committee recommends the publication of its opinion in the Official

Journal of

Regarding the Heritage programme specifically, the Ministers noted the progress made and the launching
of the second phase of the programme at the beginning of 2001. Accordingly, at the end of December
2001 eight projects totalling around EUR 17 million were signed, and are shortly to be implemented.
Those projects involve a very wide range of activities such as, for instance, development of the cultural
heritage,
the common musical
heritage, the cultural legacy, including prehistory, and the promotion and awareness of the single heritage
and the introduction of new information and communication techniques.

the common cultural memory, exploitation of know-how networks,

2.
Cultural cooperation is one of the priorities of the Spanish Presidency, which is intending to submit a
framework programme to encourage a dialogue between cultures and civilisation centred on youth,
education and the media, for adoption by the Valencia Ministerial Conference.

In particular:

/ regarding youth,

the Commission’s efforts to launch the second stage of

the regional Youth

programme will be supported;

/ regarding education, there will be enhanced cooperation between universities on both sides of the
Mediterranean, via extension of the Tempus programme to the Mediterranean partners, help in
updating university syllabuses and encouragement in the training and exchange of lecturers;

To that end, a Euro-Mediterranean Foundation should be created covering mainly primary and
secondary education, with an independent structure geared particularly towards promoting the use of
new technology;

/ regarding the media, a regional information and communication programme will be lauched to raise

the profile of the Process.

Lastly, a seminar is to be organised in Vienna on 3 June 2002, on the role of the Euro-Mediterranean
media, in order to analyse the perceptions that partners have of one another and to suggest possible paths
of action for inclusion in the future regional communication and information programme.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0014/02

by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Council

(22 January 2002)

Subject: Events in Genoa

Further to the Council’s reply to Written Questions E-2379/01 and E-2454/01 (1), why does the Council
deny responsibility for the application of Article 6(1) and (2) TEU?

(1) OJ C 81 E, 4.4.2002, p. 165.

Reply

(13 May 2002)

Article 6 TEU refers to a number of principles on which the Union is founded. Responsibility for the
application of these principles lies primarily with the Member States, without prejudice to the role
attributed to the Council under the procedures set out in Article 7 TEU.

Imposition of a public service obligation on scheduled air services within France

(2002/C 18/09)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. Pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for
Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes, France has decided to impose a public service
obligation on scheduled air services between La Rochelle and Paris.

2. The new public service obligation is as follows:

Minimum frequency

(cid:151) The minimum level of service provided all year round must be two round trips per day, morning

and evening, from Monday to Friday inclusive.

(cid:151) On Sundays and public holidays (except Saturdays), the minimum level of service provided must be

one round trip per day.

The service must be operated without a stopover between La Rochelle and Paris (Orly).

Type of aircraft used and capacity provided

The service must be operated with a pressurised aircraft having a seating capacity of at least:

(cid:151) 180 seats per day on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays,

(cid:151) 240 seats per day on Thursdays and Fridays,

(cid:151) 60 seats on Sundays and public holidays.

Should the minimum seating capacity specified prove to be out of proportion to the actual uptake of
seats, it may be adjusted following publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities of a
notice amending the public service obligation.

Timetables

Timetables must be such as to enable passengers on business trips during the working week to make
the round trip within the day and to spend at least eight hours at their destination, whether Paris or La
Rochelle.

Slots have been reserved at Paris (Orly) airport from Monday to Friday for the scheduled Paris (Orly)(cid:150)La
Rochelle service pursuant to Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 on common rules for the
allocation of slots at Community airports. Air carriers interested in this route can obtain information
about these slots from the Paris airports coordinator.

Flight bookings

Flights must be marketed by means of at least one computerised reservation system.

Continuity of service

Except in cases of force majeure, the number of flights cancelled for reasons directly attributable to the
carrier must not exceed 3 % of the number of flights scheduled in any IATA scheduling season. The
carrier must give six months’ notice before discontinuing these services.

Community carriers are hereby informed that the operation of air services without regard to the
abovementioned public service obligation may result in administrative and/or criminal penalties.
