**Proceedings** **of the** **sitting**

**IN THE** **CHAIR:** **MR** **BARON CRESPO**

_(The_ _sitting_ _was_ _opened_ _at_ _5p.m.)_

**1.** **Resumption** **of** **session**

The President declared resumed the session of the

European Parliament which had been adjourned on 18
May 1990.

The following spoke:

— Mr Pannella, on a statement allegedly made by the
President of Parliament to the Italian press to the effect
that the vote on the resolution on 'Expo 2000 in Ven­
ice' was of little importance (the President denied that
he had said this);

— Mr Nicholson, who referred to the recent terrorist
attacks in the Community, and expressed his sympathy
for the families of the victims; he asked that Com­
munity action be undertaken to combat terrorism;

— Mr Paisley, on the same subject, and then on the
ban of exports of beef from the United Kingdom

decided by a number of Community countries (the
President pointed out that this subject was on the
agenda of the part-session);

— Mr Stewart, who djew attention to an error in the
verbatim report of proceedings of the sitting of 17 May
1990;

— Mr Fitzgerald, who also condemned the recent ter­
rorist attacks, and then deplored the risks run by fisher­
men from his constituency following incidents with
other Community fishing vessels;

— Mr Lane, who likewise condemned terrorism, and
then also spoke on the ban on exports of beef from the
United Kingdom (the President cut him off as the sub­
ject was due to be debated the following day);

— Mr Suarez Gonzalez, who insisted that statements
made outside debates should be restricted to proce­
dural matters;

N o C 175/2 Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 7. 90

**Monday,** **11** **June** **1990**

— Mr Dillen, who asked, on behalf of the E R Group,
that the formal sitting to be held for Mr Mandela be
cancelled (the President cut him off);

— Mr L. Smith, who asked that the Commission
make a statement under Rule 56 on plans to discharge
into the sea several hundred containers of nuclear

waste coming from the Federal Republic of Germany
(the President cut him off);

— Mr McCartin, who deplored, on behalf of the E P P
Group, that the subject of terrorism first raised by Mr
Nicholson had not been retained among the subjects
proposed for topical and urgent debate;

— Mr Gollnisch, on the order of business.

**2.** **Approval** **of** **minutes**

The President announced that Mr Laroni had informed

him in writing that he had wanted to vote against the
motion for a resolution on 'Expo 2000 in Venice' _**(part**_
_**/,**_ _**item**_ _**6 of the**_ _**minutes).**_

The following spoke:

— Mr McGowan, who referred back to the statement
he had made denouncing alleged irregularities during
voting, and more specifically an instance where a
Member had, according to him, voted on more than
one machine during the vote on the Theato report _**(part**_
_**I,**_ _**item**_ _**1 of the**_ _**minutes);**_ he asked for details of the
results of the inquiry into the application of Rule 93,
and named Mr KJepsch (the President replied that it
was not strictly speaking a question of interpreting the
Rules since Rule 93 was perfectly clear, and that a for­
mal accusation would have to be made for any action

had not been adopted in committee and was therefore
withdrawn from the agenda.

The EDA Group had asked for the De Clercq report on
beef (Doc. A 3-147/90), scheduled without debate, to
be taken with debate and it would therefore be post­
poned to a future part-session.

The LU Group requested, pursuant to Rule 74, that an
oral question by the Committee on Agriculture to the
Commission, on the participation of Parliament in fish­
eries agreements, the allocation of quotas and the
granting of structural aid (Doc. B 3-1062/90) be
included in a joint debate with the Miranda da Silva
report on fisheries (item 120).

Mr Miranda da Silva spoke on behalf of the LU
Group.

Parliament approved the request.

The following spoke:

— Mr Lane, who regretted that items relating to fish­
eries were regularly included on the agenda for Friday;

— Mr Newton Dunn, who wanted an answer to the
question he had asked at the previous part-session con­
cerning the assizes of the European Parliament with
national parliaments in Rome (the President repliedthat the Committee on Institutional Affairs was in the

process of drawing u p a report on this subject).

— Mr Ford, who, referring to Rule 56(1), repeated,
Mr L. Smith's call for a Commission statement on the

discharge of toxic waste in the sea at this part-session
and pointed out that the Commission appeared to be
willing to make such a statement;

— Mr Wynn, who asked when his report on food aid
(Doc. A 3-149/90) would be taken;

— Sir Christopher Prout, who pointed out, in reply to
the previous speaker, that a request had been made for
urgent procedure in respect of this report and that the
decision would not therefore be taken until the follow­

ing morning.

_Request_ _for_ _procedure without debate_ (Rule 38)

— in respect of the Merz report on indirect taxes on
the raising of capital (Doc. A 3-144/90).

This item was included at the beginning of Friday's
agenda.

_Request_ _for_ _application_ _of_ _urgent procedure_ (Rule 75)

(a) from the Council, in respect of:

— a regulation on the operation of air cargo services
(Doc. C 3-98/90)

16.7.90

N o C 175/14

**Monday,** **11** **June** **1990**

Official Journal of the European Communities

Justification: the Council wished to take a decision on

this proposal at its next meeting on 18 and 19 June so
that the regulation could come into force on 1 July
1990.

— a regulation on organic production of agricultural
products and indications referring thereto on agricul­
tural products and foodstuffs (Doc. C 3-249/89)

Justification: the Council wished to take a decision on

this proposal as quickly as possible, given the growing
interest in this method of agricultural production and
the need to provide a framework of fair competition for
producers and adequate information for consumers.

(b) from the Commission, in respect of:

— a proposal for a regulation amending regulations
with regard to the conversion rates and monetary com­
pensatory amounts to be applied for the purposes of
the common agricultural policy (Doc. C 3-89/90)

Justification: in the present situation, the method for
calculating the conversion rates could be amended
without serious consequences.

— a regulation on the introduction of the final regime
for the organization of the market for the carriage of
goods by road (Doc. C 3-102/90)

Justification: the Council intended to include this item

on the agenda of its meeting of 18 and 19 June 1990.

— a regulation for an action programme in the field
of transport infrastructure with a view to the comple­
tion of an integrated transport market in 1992 (Doc.
C 3-117/90)

Justification: the Council intended to include this item

on the agenda of its meeting of 18 and 19 June 1990.

(c) from the Council and the Commission, in respect
of:

— a regulation amending three regulations on the
management, storage and cofinancing of the purchase
of food products (Doc. C 3-134/90)

Justification: these regulations would expire at the end
of June and it had not been possible to start the proce­
dure earlier because of 'comitology' difficulties.

Parliament would be consulted on the requests for
urgent procedure at the beginning of the sitting on
Tuesday.

The Commission had also asked for urgent procedure
in respect of a decision amending a decision on a Com­

munity system for the rapid exchange of information
on dangers arising from the use of consumer products
(Doc. C 3-139/90).

Since the Committee on the Environment had decided

to adopt the procedure without report in respect of this
proposal, this item was included on Friday's agenda.

_Requests_ _for_ _procedure without report_ (Rule 116(1))

From the Committee on Agriculture, in respect of:

— a directive amending a directive on the marketing
of seed potatoes (Doc. C 3-122/90)

— a regulation laying down, in respect of hops, the
amount of aid to producers for the 1989 harvest (Doc.
C 3-127/90)

— a decision amending a decision on the restructur­
ing of the system of agricultural surveys in Greece
(Doc. C 3-138/90)

from the Committee on the Environment, in respect of:

— a decision amending a decision on a Community
system for the rapid exchange of information on dan­
gers arising from the use of consumer products (Doc.
C 3-139/90)

These texts would be put to the vote at the beginning of
Friday's sitting.

The order of business was thus established.

**annexed** **to the** **Interinstitutional Agreement** **of 29** **June** **1988 on** **budgetary discipline** **and** **improvement** **of the**

**budgetary procedure**

_The_ _European Parliament_ _and the_ _Council_ _of the_ _European Communities,_

Having regard to paragraphs 10 and 11 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and
improvement of the budgetary procedure ('),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, given the conditions of implementation of the budget in 1988 and 1989, the financial perspec­
tive annexed to the Interinstitutional Agreement should be adapted to allow the transfer of unused
appropriations to subsequent financial years,

HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

_Sole Article_

The ceilings appearing in the financial perspective, as revised by the joint decision of the European Par­
liament and the Council in response to the article 12 proposal by the Commission dated 22 February
1990, are hereby adjusted as follows:

— The ceilings on commitment appropriations for non-compulsory expenditure are increased by ECU
157 million in 1991 and ECU 250 million in 1992 for heading 2 and by ECU 63 million in 1991 and
ECU 80 million in 1992 for heading 3. The totals for commitment appropriations are adjusted
accordingly.

— The totals for payment appropriations required are increased by ECU 466 million in 1991, of which
ECU 460 million is for non-compulsory expenditure, and by ECU 758 million in 1992, of which
ECU 650 million is for non-compulsory expenditure.

**annexed** **to the** **Interinstitutional Agreement** **of 29** **June** **1988 on** **budgetary discipline** **and** **improvement** **of the**

**budgetary procedure**

_The_ _European Parliament_ _and the_ _Council_ _of the_ _European Communities,_

Having regard to point 12 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement
of the budgetary procedure ('),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, within the existing framework of the financial perspective, it is not possible to satisfy the new
requirements of co-operation with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, to step u p co-operation
with the countries of the Mediterranean region, Latin America and Asia and to provide the required
increase in the stimulus which the Community, can give in several sectors to the implementation of the
Single Act and completion of the internal market; whereas the financial perspective in force must there­
fore be revised with due respect for the principle of budgetary discipline; whereas concerning the ceiling
for heading 5 (Repayments and Administration) the amounts for stock disposal cannot be used for other

purposes;

Whereas the treatment of certain budget items in the financial perspective must be clarified to facilitate
management of the budget or make it more transparent;

HAVE D E C I D E D AS FOLLOWS:

_Article_ _1_

The ceilings in the financial perspective revised by the joint decision of Parliament and the Council on

13 December 1989 and last adjusted by the Commission Decision of 21 February 1990 under Article 9 of
the Interinstitutional Agreement are hereby amended as follows:

1. The ceiling for heading 2 (Structural operations) is revised to include an additional amount of ECU
250 million in 1991. This amount addresses the difference between forecasts and current estimates

of the rate of inflation. When account is taken of the effect in 1991 of the decision of the Agricul­
ture Council of 26 April 1990 in relation to vine-grubbing (ECU 160 million) the net increase in
heading 2 is ECU 90 million. This decision will not affect the ceilings for heading 2 in 1990 and

1992.

2. The ceilings for heading 4 (Other policies) are increased by ECU 200 million in 1990, E C U 1 175
million in 1991 and ECU 1 628 million in 1992. The subceilings for non-compulsory expenditure
under this headling are increased by the same amounts for each of the years concerned.

3. The ceilings for heading 5 (Repayments and Administration) are lowered by E C U 40 million for
1991 and ECU 150 million for 1992. The amount proposed for stock disposal under this heading is
reduced by ECU 450 million for 1992.

4. The total of commitment appropriations and the total of payment appropriations are increased by
ECU 200 million for 1990, ECU 1 225 million for 1991 and E C U 1 478 million for 1992. The break­
down of these totals between compulsory and non-compulsory expenditure is adjusted accordingly.

The amounts indicated in this article for 1992 are at 1991 prices.

_Article_ _2_

1. The following footnote shall be added with reference to headings 1 and 4:

'In accordance with the joint statement made by the three institutions when the revision of the Financial
Regulation was adopted and in order to ensure the proper financing of food aid without having To revise

(') OJ N o L 185, 15. 7. 1988, p. 33.

**16.7.90** **Official Journal** **o f the** **European Communities** **N o C** **175/21**

**s** **Monday,** **11** **June** **1990**

the financial perspective, compliance with the ceilings for headings 1 and 4 will not rule out the possibil­
ity of a transfer between the headings for Article 292 (Refunds in connection with Community food aid)
and Chapter 92 (Food aid). This means that the amounts of these transfers will not count towards the
totals of appropriations to be taken into consideration for the purpose o f ensuring compliance with the
ceilings in the financial perspective.

The criteria for the examination of these transfers are those agreed by the Council, Parliament and the
Commission in their statement of 12 February 1990.'

2. The existing footnote on the breakdown of total commitment appropriations into compulsory and
non-compulsory expenditure shall be replaced by the following:

'Based on the classification in the 1990 preliminary draft budget. Modifications resulting from decisions
by the budgetary authority on changes of classification will be implemented as a technical adjustment,
under point 9 of the Agreement.'

**(to be** **added** **to the** **decision** **to be** **taken under point** **12 of the** **Interinstitutional Agreement)**

The decision to revise heading 4 covers three priority sectors:

Parliament on 17 January 1989 on improving and strengthening relations between the
Community and EFTA,

and EFTA ('),

— having regard to the Joint Declaration of 19 December 1989 by the Foreign Ministers of the
twelve Member States of the Community and the seven EFTA countries on initiating formal
negotiations for future cooperation between the two groups of countries and on the institu­
tional framework for such cooperation,

— having regard to its resolution of 5 April 1990( [2] ) concerning the European Parliament's
participation in drawing up Community guidelines for negotiations on and the conclusion of
an association agreement between the Community and the EFTA countries on the basis of
Article 238 of the EEC Treaty,

A. considering that the Community and EFTA share common principles, political values and
conceptions of society and that cooperation between the Community and EFTA is crucially
important for the future of Europe,

B. recalling that the EFTA countries are the Community's most important trading partners,

C. stressing that the Community is faced with taking a wide range of important and farreaching decisions about its own future particularly in order to strengthen both its economic
and monetary structures and its political structures,

D. stressing that it is in Europe's interest — and not only that of the twelve Community
Member States — that the Community can continue to play an active as well as stabilizing
role in the creation of the new European architecture,

E. whereas cooperation between the Community and EFTA will be one element of the new
European architecture,

F. whereas the Community and the EFTA countries should extend their cooperation in future

**Tuesday,** **12** **June** **1990**

G. recalling the positive joint role played by the Community and EFTA within the PHARE
programme in assisting the countries of Central and Eastern Europe,

1. Confirms its interest in the setting up of a European Economic Area and the establishment
of closer relations between the Community and the EFTA countries;

2. Considers that the process of European integration launched by the European Community
and the participation of EFTA in that process are positive factors in efforts to promote broader
relations between Western Europe and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe;

3. Considers that suitable procedures should be developed to maintain a continual dialogue
between the European Parliament and the parliaments of the EFTA countries;

4. Takes the view that a subsequent expansion of the Community tp include those EFTA
countries that aspire to accede individually is both desirable and possible taking account of
progress made by the Community at that time towards political union, with particular reference
to the achievement of economic and monetary union;

5. Calls for the Member States' governments and the European Community's Institutions to
ensure that the Community retains its decision-making autonomy and that the Community's
decision-making process is made more efficient and more democratic before any new Member
State accedes;

6. Reiterates the need to strengthen the European Parliament's rights and powers, in order to
provide a more democratic instrument for those countries wishing to join the Community in
future; stresses that the rights and powers of the European Parliament must be respected in the
context of this process and in the course of the official negotiations on future cooperation
between the EEC and EFTA;

7. Assumes that cooperation will be set up in compliance with the following principles:

— that it does not hold up the process of economic and political integration now under way,
including the development of increasingly closer foreign policy cooperation between the
Community Member States,

— that a reasonable balance between rights and obligations is established in the cooperation

process;

8. Considers it vital to the establishment of the European Economic Area that negotiations
with EFTA be based on the following principles:

— autonomy of decision-making within the Community must be safeguarded;

— the four freedoms — free movement of people, goods, capital and services — must be
respected;

— the achievements of the Community thus far — the acquis communautaire — must be
respected;

— EFTA must speak with a single voice in the negotiations;

— negotiations must not jeopardize the European Parliament's powers set out in the European
Single Act nor should they bring into question the development of these powers through
future reform of the Treaties at the intergovernmental conferences on political union and
economic and monetary union;

9. Urges the Council to keep the European Parliament informed at all levels of negotiations
for the conclusion of all cooperation agreements, in particular with the EFTA countries;

10. Stresses its wish that a delegation of its Members be authorized to participate in the
negotiations;

11. Requests the President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation to give his observa­
tions on this resolution officially, in accordance with the seventh subparagraph of Paragraph 2 of
the Decision of 28 February 1986;

**RESOLUTION**

**on** **economic** **and** **trade relations between** **the** **European Community** **and the** **EFTA countries**

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

— having regard to the Luxembourg Declaration of 9 April 1984 on relations between the
Community and the EFTA countries,

— having regard to the statement by the President of the Commission to the European
Parliament on 17 January 1989, in which he proposed improving and strengthening rela­
tions between the EEC and EFTA,

— having regard to the Oslo Declaration signed by the EFTA countries in March 1989,

— having regard to the outcome of the third joint meeting between its Committee on External
Economic Relations and the Committee of Members of Parliament of the EFTA countries
of 30 November 1989, and the communique issued at the conclusion of this meeting,

— having regard to its resolution on EEC-EFTA relations of 13 December 1989 ('),

— having regard to the joint declaration by the Foreign Ministers of the 12 Member States of
the EC and the seven EFTA countries of 19 December 1989 in which they resolved to begin
formal talks with the aim of establishing a European Economic Area and reaching an
agreement on the institutional arrangements for its management,

— having regard to its resolution of 5 April 1990 on EEC-EFTA relations ( [2] ), which, in
reiterating its support for the creation of a European economic area (EEA), underlines the
absolute necessity of safeguarding the Community's autonomy in the decision-making
process and the role of the European Parliament,

— having regard to the Commission's proposed negotiating mandate submitted to the REX
Committee by Vice-President Mr Andriessen on 15 May 1990,

— having regard to the interim report of the Committee on External Economic Relations (Doc.
A3-146/90),

A. whereas the countries of the EEC and EFTA share common principles and values and a
common concept of society, and whereas they can together make a positive contribution to
closer cooperation between all the countries of Europe,

**B.** whereas the EFTA countries are the EEC's most important external trading partner,

C. whereas it is of mutual interest to establish ever closer cooperation which takes account of
the current changes concerning the EEC's objective of establishing the internal market and
the prospect of expanding the Community into a genuine economic, monetary and social
union in the institutional context of a political, union of States,

N o C 175/52 Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 7. 90

**Tuesday,** **12** **June** **1990**

D. whereas the EEC and the EFTA countries are now being required in their own interests to
take on the new, demanding tasks of supporting and encouraging the processes of democra­
tization and reform begun in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe; whereas such
tasks call for not only coordinated measures but also common policies on the overall choices
to be made and on the allocation of Western European resources,

E. whereas over the last few months a group of experts from the EEC and EFTA has drawn up a
list of the questions which could be raised at the forthcoming negotiations, but whereas
nothing has yet been decided,

1. Confirms its interest in and support for the objective of closer and more structured
cooperation between the EEC and the EFTA countries leading to the establishment of a
European Economic Area;

2. Considers that this objective should not in any way slow down or contradict the planned
economic and political integration of the Community;

3. Considers that the agreement to be implemented regarding the European Economic Area
does not rule out the possibility of a favourable response from the Community to the accession
application already submitted by Austria and to those which may be submitted by other EFTA
countries;

4. Stresses that Article 238 chosen as the basis for these negotiations involves joint decision­
making by Parliament and Council, and that in order to perform this duty properly the EP has
already asked for a delegation of its Members to be allowed to attend the negotiations as
observers;

5. Considers that the European Economic Area aims at a fundamentally improved free trade
area which could eventually be further developed into a customs union;

6. Considers that negotiations must not jeopardize the institutions' powers set out in the
European Single Act nor should they take into question the development of these powers
through future reform of the Treaties at the intergovernmental conferences on political union
and economic and monetary union;

7. Considers that the European Economic Area should involve:

— the application of a competition policy similar to that of the European Community;

— the extension of freedom of movement for persons, goods, services and capital on the basis
of the Community patrimony; recommends that any transitional periods for the incorpo­
ration of Community legislation should be of limited scope and duration, and should not
take the form of an actual derogation or exception;

— the extension of cooperation, from the outset, to other sectors such as research, develop­
ment, education, social protection and the environment, the promotion and exchange of
culture, development cooperation, equal treatment for men and women and consumer
protection, with the proviso that such cooperation should not lead to any reduction in
existing standards for environmental protection, social rights and employees' rights in any
part of the EEA, or prevent the later raising of any such standards above the general level of
the EEA;

— some harmonization of taxation on savings, to avoid repercussions from the liberalization
of capital movements, and the simplification of border crossings, matters which must be
discussed in depth at the forthcoming negotiations, in addition to those already identified by
the high-level working party (problems concerning fisheries, the movement of agricultural
products, movement of workers and transit and the environment);

— the intensification and harmonization of efforts to improve economic and social cohesion
and consequently to support the regions and groups of less-favoured people concerned in the
European Economic Area and to develop the developing countries of the Third World to a
level corresponding to their economic strength;

16.7.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 175/53

**Tuesday,** **12** **June** **1990**

— a concentrated effort vis-a-vis Eastern Europe, with a view to the common European home
and in order to consolidate the process of internal democratization and detente in interna­
tional relations and to help to stabilize economic development and to save the environ­
ment;

8. Considers it necessary to identify instruments to monitor compliance with the rules in
force in the European Economic Area and institutions empowered to settle any disputes which
may arise over matters falling within the province of the EEA; considers it necessary, therefore,
for the EFTA countries to establish an instrument of surveillance similar to the Community
instrument for monitoring competition be met and for an additional chamber to be attached to
the Court of Justice with jurisdiction over the European Economic Area;

9. Points out that at the moment there are serious difficulties in coming to an agreement
because of the number of exceptions put forward by the EFTA countries regarding freedom of
movement for goods, the total liberalization of services, capital movements and freedom of
establishment for individuals and hopes that these problems can be resolved during the nego­
tiations;

10. Considers it desirable to establish instruments or mechanisms allowing close coordina­
tion in the initial stage of drawing up proposals for decisions in the context of the EEA
(decision-shaping); notes also that it is extremely difficult to create joint instruments or mechan­
isms for decisions (decision-making), given that participation of EFTA countries in commitology and the organization of meetings between the 19 EEC and EFTA countries is not acceptable
if this would affect the EEC's autonomy in decision-making;

11. Stresses that protection of the EEC's decision-making autonomy now coincides in partic­
ular with protection of the European Parliament's prerogatives and the prospect of a European
political union in which Parliament must have greater powers; that is why an EC/EFT A
Agreement should also be based on the results of the upcoming intergovernmental conferences
concerning the completion of the economic and monetary union and further institutional
reforms;

12. Repeats its demand that the present and future rights and powers of the European
Parliament should be respected irrespective of the outcome of negotiations on future cooper­
ation between the Community and the EFTA countries;

13. Calls on the European Community and the EFTA countries to establish a network of
communication at political, administrative and parliamentary level as well as close contacts
between the social partners on either side;

14. Considers parliamentary supervision of the joint bodies of the EFT A countries to be a _sine_
_qua non_ of successful cooperation;

15. Hopes that the EFTA countries succeed in speaking with one voice with regard to their
relations with the EEC, thereby overcoming the present limitations of an intergovernmental
agreement;

16. Calls on the negotiating partners to make every effort to ensure that the EC/EFTA
Agreement on establishing a European Economic Area can enter into force on 1 January
1993;

17. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the
member countries of EFTA.

— having regard to Rule 34(1) of its Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Transport and Tourism, the opinion of the
Committee on External Economic Relations and the opinion of the Committee on Legal
Affairs and Citizens' Rights concerning the appropriate legal basis (Doc. A3-131/90),

A. whereas the completion of the internal air transport market will have to be accompanied by
the gradual replacement of existing bilateral aviation agreements between the Community
Member States and third countries by agreements concluded by the Community,

B. whereas Community civil aviation is inextricably linked with that of the EFTA member
countries; whereas a Community airline is also established in two EFTA countries; whereas
all the EFTA member countries have asked the Community to open negotiations on mutual
aviation relations on the basis of the package of measures adopted on 14 December

1987 ( [2] ),

t

C. whereas the legal basis which the Commission has proposed for a series of Community
measures concerning external air transport relations (Article 113 of the EEC Treaty) is not
appropriate because

— the provisions of Title IV take precedence, as more specific standards, over the other
provisions of the EEC Treaty,

— the specific characteristics of transport policy justify its separate treatment on purely
practical grounds,

— the use of the legal basis proposed by the Commission would lead to unproductive
institutional disputes in the Community,

D. whereas, at the current stage of development of the common air transport policy, two and a
half years after the entry into force of the package of measures adopted on 14 December
1987 and shortly before a decision is taken on the second stage of this policy ( [3] ), it is in the
interest of the Community to conclude agreements with the EFTA member countries on
tariffs, market access, capacity and the application of competition rules to scheduled air
passenger services,

1. Calls on the Council immediately to empower the Commission to open negotiations with
Austria, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Sweden and Switzerland concerning the conclusion of an
agreement on scheduled air passenger services;

2. Calls on the Council to do this on the basis of Articles 84(2) and 228(1) of the EEC Treaty,
and calls on the Commission to amend its proposals accordingly;

3. Calls on the Council, when issuing the negotiating mandate, to incorporate the following
aspects in the negotiating directives for the Commission:

(a) the process of establishing a European economic area should embrace efforts to secure the
extensive opening up of air transport markets, including the air freight market, on condition
that all participants in that market can exploit the benefits of liberalization and bear equal
responsibilities;

(b) in the interests of securing speedy results, the negotiations should initially be conducted on
the basis of current Community rules; an additional protocol, to be ratified by the Council
after the decision-making procedure, should cover the transition to the second stage of the
common aif transport policy, the EFTA countries being granted appropriate transitional
periods which enable them to adjust gradually; efforts should be made to ensure that the
agreed rules also apply to air transport services between EFTA countries;

(c) in the interests of the integration of the European air transport market, if possible there
should be a uniform timetable for the negotiations with all the EFTA countries; efforts
should be made to ensure that the agreed rules also apply to air transport services between
EFTA countries;

(d) appropriate agreements should ensure, in particular, that future Community measures
regarding the taxation of air transport services and the operation of tax free shops do not
lead to distortions of competition on intra-European air transport markets;

(e) the agreements should be drawn up in such a way that they can be extended, by means of
further additional protocols, to cover aspects of technical harmonization, safety, air traffic
control cooperation and the rules governing employment in the air transport sector as soon
as the Community has taken action in these areas;

(f) regardless of the institutions which may be established in future in connection with the
European economic area, the agreement should provide for an arbitration mechanism for
the rapid and effective settlement of differences of opinion concerning the rights and duties
deriving from that agreement;

4. Calls on the Commission to keep Parliament regularly informed on the progress of the
negotiations and reserves the right, where appropriate, to deliver additional opinions;

5. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission, the EFT A
member countries and the EFTA Parliamentarians Group.

The following spoke:

tradition in this Parliament, but that he would refer the
matter to the College of Quaestors);

— Mr McMillan-Scott, who referred to the latest
violent demonstrations in Romania and called, on
behalf of the E D Group, for the Commission and even
the Council to make a statement on the subject and for
consideration to be given to the possibility of dividing
the Delegation for Relations with Bulgaria and

improve relations with the parliaments of the two coun­
tries and to examine the problems there in greater
depth (the President replied that he would refer this
request to the President of Parliament);

behalf of the EPP Group;

the Bureau).

**—** **Joint resolution replacing Docs. B3-1205,** **1226, 1233, 1244 and** **1260/90**

**RESOLUTION**

**on** **South Africa**

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

A. having regard to its previous resolutions on the eradication of apartheid in South Africa and
to those of the ACP-EEC Joint Assembly,

B. whereas the recent discussions between the ANC and the South African authorities repre­
sent a first step towards negotiations but whereas the bases of apartheid remain in South
Africa and whereas, in particular:

-T- most of the laws which institutionalize the system remain inforce;

— the South African police continues to occupy the townships and to oppress the popu­
lation;

— political prisoners remain in prison;

— the state of emergency has not been lifted throughout the country,

C. taking into account the EC common policy on South Africa, which consists of a package of
restrictive and positive measures; the declared aim of which is 'the complete abolition of
apartheid as a whole and not just of certain components of the system' (Council decision of
10 September 1985),

D. recalling the U N declaration on South Africa, unanimously adopted on 14 December 1989,
which demands 'to ensure that the international community does not relax existing meas­
ures aimed at encouraging the South African regime to eradicate apartheid until there is
clear evidence of profound and irreversible changes, bearing in mind the objectives of this
declaration' and recognizing that the South African Government has still to take many of the
steps set out in this declaration,

E. recalling that these objectives are the new constitutional order of a non-racial, democratic
state with equal rights for all its citizens,

F. whereas the campaign against apartheid conducted unremittingly by banned or legal organ­
izations and the pressure exerted at internatipnal level as a result of economic sanctions
have been a decisive factor in compelling the South African Government to start negotia­
tions,

G. having regard to the Commonwealth Committee of Foreign Ministers on Southern Africa
meeting in Abuja, Nigeria on 16-17 May 1990 which agreed to 'call on all Commonwealth
and non-Commonwealth countries to maintain existing sanctions and measures until Pre­
toria was brought to the negotiating table and change was clearly and irreversibly secured'
and to 'convey its views to non-Commonwealth governments and in particular to the
members of the EC and G7 countries',

H. having regard to the meetings of the Council of Ministers of 18 June in Luxembourg and the
European Council of 25 and 26 June in Dublin &t which the Community's policy towards
South Africa is to be reviewed,

N o C 175/162 Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 7. 90

**Thursday,** **14** **June** **1990**

years in prison and welcomes him to the European Parliament;

2. Welcomes the positive changes which have taken place in South Africa following President
de Klerk's new policy introduced on 2 February 1990 and the positive way in which Nelson
Mandela and the ANC have responded to this opportunity to abolish apartheid;

3. Considers the results of the Grote-Schuur discussions as a starting point towards negotia­
tions on the basis of the UN declaration;

4. Acknowledges the important contribution which international sanctions and other pres­
sures including those of the European Community have made towards securing progress towards
the ending of apartheid,

5. Supports the appeal made by Nelson Mandela on 16 May 1990 to all governments not to
take any premature steps towards lifting, even partially, sanctions against the South African
Government;

6. Considers that it would be extremely undesirable for the Community to abandon its
anti-apartheid sanctions policy prior to the conclusion of an agreement on the establishment of a
new constitutional order in South Africa under which all citizens are treated as equals in a
non-racial, democratic society;

7. Calls on the Member States which are currently proposing the partial or phased relaxation
of European Community sanctions against South Africa to reconsider their positions in the light
of the enormity of the human rights violations which are perpetrated under the apartheid system
and with due regard to their past resolve to abolish the apartheid regime;

8. Appeals, accordingly, to the Council of Ministers which is to meet on 18 June in Luxem­
bourg and to the European Council on 25 and 26 June in Dublin to ensure that all sanctions,
including economic, cultural and sporting sanctions, by the Community and the Member States
are continued and implemented against South Africa until apartheid is completely and irrevoc­
ably abolished;

9. Calls on the EC Heads of State or Government meeting in Dublin on 25 June 1990 to renew
their full commitment to fight apartheid by confirming the position taken at the Strasbourg
Summit on 19 December 1989 as well as the UN declaration jointly adopted on 14 December
1989;

10. Reaffirms its support for the negotiating process as envisaged in the United Nations
Declaration in order to ensure agreement on a new constitution, including elections on the
principle of 'one person, one vote' on the basis of a non-racial electoral list;

11. Reaffirms its solidarity with the people of South Africa and supports the position it has
expressed through its organizations, whereby the aim of the negotiations is not the reform of
apartheid but its abolition;

12. Calls on the Council and the Commission to make supplementary funds available under
the special programme for victims of apartheid, intended for South Africans returning from
exile and for a negotiations trust fund to support the process of democracy in South Africa;

13. Calls on the international Community to continue to support and intensify its physical
and moral assistance to the freedom movements and organizations in South Africa;

14. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Foreign Ministers
meeting in European Political Cooperation, the Commission, the Government of the Republic
of South Africa and the African National Congress.

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

A. having regard to the terrible massacre of eight Palestinian workers in cold blood on 20 May

Israeli army, which cost the lives of another six Palestinians and was responsible for
wounding nearly 650 more that same day,

B. recalling that these recent deaths follow a long list of killings of Palestinians, estimated at
669 from the beginning of the Intifada in December 1987 until 5 May 1990,

C. whereas the blockage of all peace moves leaves the field open to extremists on all sides, as
was shown by the attempted sea landing by a Palestinian commando from the PLF, which
was thwarted on 30 May,

settlement of thousands of Jews from Eastern Europe in the occupied Palestinian territo­
ries,

Geneva on 25 May 1990,

G. noting the persistent refusal of Israel to comply with the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949
on civilian populations under occupation,

H. whereas Parliament has always recognized Israel's right to live within secure borders and in
peace with its neighbours,

I. whereas Parliament has also defended the rights of the Palestinian people, its physical,
economic and cultural integrity and its right to create its own State,

J. recalling its previous resolutions on this issue,

1. Calls for continued efforts to achieve a negotiated solution for just and lasting peace in the
Middle East guaranteeing the security and inviolability of the borders of the State of Israel and of
all the states of the region as well as the self-determination of the Palestinian people and its right
to create a free and independent state and calls on all parties concerned to adopt a clear stance on
this matter;

2. Condemns the Government of the State of Israel for its bloody repression of Palestinian
civilians and its repeated violations of human rights in Israel and the occupied territories, and
insists that it put an immediate end to all acts of repression;

3. Condemns, from wherever it comes, any veiled appeal or open recourse to violence, such as
the demonstration.by Rabbi Kahane appealing for support for the murderer Ami Popper, or the
attempted sea landing by a Palestinian commando;

4. Calls on the Commission to supply immediate medical and humanitarian aid to the
victims;

tions;

8. Calls for an immediate meeting of the five permanent members of the U N Security
Council, with a view to discussing the peace process and preparing an international conference
on the Middle East;

9. Calls on the Commission, Council and Foreign Ministers meeting in EPC to consider and
implement any measures capable of bringing international pressure to bear on the Government
of the State of Israel until such time as the rights of the Palestinian people are fully
respected;

10. Calls on the governments of the Member States to urge the U N to extend the UNRWA
mandate to monitor the security of all the peoples living in the territory occupied by Israel since
June 1967;

11. Calls on the governments of the Member States to send a permanent representative to
East Jerusalem to assess the needs of the Palestinian people and to coordinate and monitor the
use of aid granted by the European Community;

12. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council, the
governments of the Member States, the Foreign Ministers meeting in European Political
Cooperation, the UN, the Government of the State of Israel and the Palestinian Liberation

execution of 28 officers on 24 April 1990 and 6 more the following day, the torture of

confinement at Ashkelon Prison, in a cell measuring only 3 metres by 2 metres,

C. recalling that he was kidnapped in Rome by the Israeli authorities, in order to stand
trial,

D. conscious that the offence for which he was sentenced was his decision to reveal, through the
Sunday Times newspaper in London, the extent of Israel's stock of atomic weapons,

E. aware that such disclosures might be an offence in other countries but points out that those
which have respect for human rights would not have been likely to treat a disclosure in a
newspaper for motives of public interest as treason and espionage, the offences for which Mr
Vanunu was prosecuted and convicted, and certainly would not have imposed such a long
term of imprisonment,

F. noting that the President of Israel has the power of pardon and that he has exercised that
power, inter alia, to pardon a number of senior Shin Beth officers who were implicated in the
murder of two Palestinians while they were held in custody,

1. Calls upon the President of Israel to exercise his right to pardon or, at the very least,
commute the sentence passed on Mordechai Vanunu;

violation of the sovereignty of a Member State of the European Community;

3. Declares that, if there is any such violation in the future, there should be a swifter and more
effective response from the European Community;

**defined** **by the ad hoc** **Group** **on** **Immigration**

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

— having regard to its resolutions of 12 March 1987 (') on the right of asylum and 23
November 1989 ( [2] ) and 15 March 1990 ( [3] ) on the Schengen Agreement and the supplement­
ary agreement,

— having regard to Articles 5, 8a, 100 and 235 of the EEC Treaty,

— having regard to the Preamble of the Single European Act in which the Member States
express their determination 'to improve the economic and social situation by extending
common policies and pursuing new objectives, and to ensure a smoother functioning of the
Communities by enabling the institutions to exercise their powers under conditions most in
keeping with Community interests',

— having regard to the Commission's White Paper on the completion of the internal market,
which states that a proposal for a directive coordinating provisions on the right of asylum
and the status of refugees would be drawn up by 1988 and a proposal for a directive
coordinating national policies on visas by 1990,

— whereas on 19 June the signatory states to the Schengen Agreement intend to sign the
supplementary agreement,

— whereas the twelve Member States also intend to ratify by the end of the Irish Presidency a
convention drawn up by the ad hoc Group on Immigration on the right of asylum and the
status of refugees, the substance of which has not yet been communicated to Parliament,

— having regard to the aforementioned convention as well as a second draft convention on all
aspects of checks on persons at the external frontiers, elaborated by the ad hoc Group on
Immigration operating under international law and therefore outside the Community
framework, but having, as a 'member', the Commission of the EC,

**Thursday,** **14** **June** **1990**

— having regard to the fact that, although this ad hoc Group is not a Community institution, its
secretariat is nevertheless assured by the General Secretariat of the Council,

— having regard to the Council's position that expenditure from the Community budget may
only be made pursuant to a legal basis created by the Council and that, although the
secretariat of the ad hoc Group is not a Community body, its expenses are, however, covered
by the Council's budget,

— having regard to the resolutions put forward on 23 November 1989 and 15 March 1990
calling for full transparency in the work of the various intergovernmental bodies composed
of some or all the twelve Member States, but operating under international law and not
Community law,

— having regard to the resolution of 12 March 1987 on the right of asylum and to the
implications of the ruling of the European Court of Justice handed down on 22 May 1990
which extends to the European Parliament the right to address itself to the European Court
with a view to annulling a Commission or a Council act,

A. whereas all the negotiations on the supplementary Schengen agreement and those of the ad
hoc Group on Immigration have been conducted' without parliamentary scrutiny and
without being made public,

B. taking note of the assurances made by the Council on 12 April 1988 and, more recently, on
11 October 1989, that the European Parliament is informed of the activities of the ad hoc
Group on Immigration via its Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, but noting
that such information is rather superficial and limited to stating the number of meetings
held by the ad hoc Group on Immigration,

C. noting that, at the sitting of 14 March, Mr M. Bangemann, speaking on behalf of the
Commission, underlined the need to inform national governments and parliaments, as well
as the European Parliament, of the negotiations and activities of intergovernmental bodies
dealing with the lifting of border controls and free movement, namely the Group of
Coordinators which is, after all, a Community structure and is obliged to inform Parliament
of its activities,

D. aware that the aforementioned draft directive on the coordination of rules concerning the
right of asylum and the status of refugees, considered by many human rights bodies as a
positive step in the right direction, has been shelved because of strong opposition on the part
of some Member States and apparently has been substituted by a convention among the
twelve Member States which is more limited in scope and application and has been
elaborated by non-Community fora, thereby avoiding any control by the Community
institutions, namely the European Parliament,

E. whereas the Commission has failed to fulfil its duty of safeguarding the interests of the
Community and has failed to inform Parliament of its role in the Schengen negotiations,

F. whereas the TREVI working party is also drawing up an agreement on the right of asylum,
migration policy, data exchange and drugs policy and whereas an unknown number of
bodies have been created in the Council to deal with these issues without Parliament being
informed,

G. concerned that this step taken by the twelve Member States to bypass control by the
European Parliament in a delicate matter concerning human rights represents a dangerous
precedent, and apprehensive that the same procedure will be followed in the process leading
up to the signing by the twelve Member States of the second aforementioned convention,

H. whereas the planned Schengen Agreement extends police powers without any provision for
legal checks,

I. convinced that a people's Europe can only be brought about if the more than eight million
migrant workers who have been legally resident in the Community for generations are also
covered by Community policy,

N o C 175/172 Official Journal of the European Communities 16.7.90

**Thursday,** **14** **June** **1990**

1. Calls on the Council to stop flouting the powers of the European Parliament as recognized
in the EC Treaties and the Single European Act and insists that any decision taken on immi­
gration and internal security regarding free movement of persons in the Community be dealt
with in the same manner as any other Community policy;

2. Calls on the Commission to put an end to its status as 'member' on the ad hoc Group on
. Immigration and to participate in this Group with its competence as the Community institution

with the role as guardian of the EC Treaties as provided for under Article 169 of the EEC
Treaty;

3. Calls on the governments and parliaments of the twelve Member States to bring their
activities within the Community framework and to keep the European Parliament informed
accordingly;

4. Believes that this Convention contains a number of threats to individual freedoms:

— by organizing exchanges of general information and information on individuals between the
police forces of the Member States;

— by distributing confidential information on the personal circumstances, in their country of
origin or of provenance, of persons seeking asylum;

— through an exchange of information on the reasons given by asylum-seekers and, where
applicable, on the decisions taken in respect of their applications;

5. Requests the five Schengen countries not to sign the supplementary Agreement before there
are guarantees that Interpol will be completely excluded — now and in the future — from the
CSIS (Central Schengen Information System);

6. Calls on the signatory states to the Convention and to the supplementary Agreement to
defer signing these two texts, to consult the specialist committees of the national parliaments and
the European Parliament forthwith and to seek the opinion of the U N High Commissioner for
Refugees in respect of the matters falling within his terms of reference;

7. Stresses that the removal of border checks should not be accompanied by the introduction
of new administrative checks which might constitute a violation of human rights;

8. Calls on the Commission to frame a common policy on asylum which takes account of the
European and international dimensions of the refugee problem and which is based on demo­
cratic and humane principles;

9. Calls on the future Intergovernmental Conference to bring within the exclusive compe­
tence of the Community matters of entry, movement and residence of nationals of third
countries, as well as of terrorism, crime, the traffic in drugs and illicit trading in works of art and
antiques;

_i_

10. Instructs its Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights to examine thoroughly the
legal implications of the aforementioned ruling of the Court of Justice in view of the signing of
the aforementioned convention by the twelve Member States;

11. Calls on the Commission to promote the establishment of a European legal area, within
the framework and limits of which all activities and positive steps in this field would take
place;

12. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the
Governments and parliaments of the Member States, the Council of Europe and the U N High
Commissioner for Refugees.

**RESOLUTION**

**on** **Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy** **(BSE)**

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

A. whereas the number of cases of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) in the United
Kingdom, first identified as long ago as 1985, has risen dramatically since the start of this

year,

B. having regard to the measures already adopted by the UK Government and the decisions
taken by the Council on 7 June 1990 on specific measures relating to BSE,

C. whereas those conclusions can solve only temporarily certain problems relating to Commu­
nity trade in live animals and meat, leaving unsolved the problem of the disease of BSE,

D. whereas the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee was delivered provisionally on
the basis of factors considered to be too general and whereas the Commission will be
drafting legal texts in this connection without further consultations,

E. whereas all necessary measures should be adopted by the relevant national authorities and
the European Community to reduce the risk of further infection of cattle with BSE,

F. whereas the most stringent measures are needed to prevent any possible risk to public health
from this' disease,

G. whereas the Commission, on the basis of the Council's decisions, is to take up with
non-Community countries the need to remove immediately any trade restrictions that are
still in place;

H. whereas, since the incubation period is presumed to be between two and eight years, it is
very difficult to assess the extent of the infection and all that is humanly possible must be
done to discover how the disease is transmitted,

1. Notes the specific steps taken by the Council to regulate trade in meat and cattle from the
United Kingdom, such as certification;

2. Calls on the Commission to carry out further detailed scientific research in order to clarify
the risks of BSE being transmitted to man or other animal species;

3. Stresses the need to carry out an epidemiological survey of the disease in Community
countries;

4. Urges that stringent monitoring procedures be adopted, reinforced and implemented by
the Commission and the authorities of the Member States in respect of every new case of BSE
and the implementation of the measures adopted by the Community and the authorities of the
Member States concerned; recalls, in this connection, the recommendations contained in the
report of the ad hoc committee oh meat quality, particularly as regards the establishment of a
European agency concerned with the quality of food products;

5. Calls for research at European level into the characteristics of this disease and its impli­
cations for public health to be stepped up as a matter of urgency and requests the Commission to
inform the European Parliament of the outcome;

**Thursday,** **14** **June** **1990**

6. Calls on the Commission to offer full compensation at slaughter to producers reporting any
suspected cases of BSE;

7. Calls on the Commission to come forward with a proposal to ban the feeding of animal
proteins recycled from carcasses to ruminants;

8. Calls on the Commission to consider additional measures to mitigate the adverse impact of
BSE on the beef market;

9. Calls on the Commission to forward to Parliament without delay a report on the extent to
which feedingstuffs have been produced from animal carcasses, the processing and marketing of
meat produced in this way and the measures which the Commission, Council and Member
States have taken to date to prevent the spread of the virus and to investigate the means of
transmission of the disease between animals and between animals and humans;

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

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

— having regard to the proposal from the Commission to the Council (SEC(89) 1456 final),

— having been consulted by the Council pursuant to Article 235 of the EEC Treaty (Doc.
C3-169/89),

— whereas on 17 May 1990 the Commission informed Parliament that, after repeated insis­
tence on Parliament's part, it had submitted multiannual guidelines for the period as from
1991 on which Parliament must be consulted,

— whereas the 1990 guidelines are therefore the last to be set annually,

— having regard to the third report of the Committee on Development and Cooperation and
the opinions of the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on External Economic
Relations (Doc. A3-0151/90),

1. Approves the Commission proposal under protest and subject to an amendment;

2. Urges the Council to consult Parliament immediately on the multiannual guidelines
proposed by the Commission;

**RESOLUTION**

**on the** **institutional guidelines** **for the** **second Dublin Summit**

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

A. having regard to the conclusions of the special European Council in Dublin of 28 April
1990,

B. having regard to the statement by the President-in-Office of the Council on the Irish
Presidency and, in particular, on the preparations for the second European Council meeting
in Dublin,

1989 ('), 14 March 1990 ( [2] ) and 17 May 1990 ( [3] ),

N o C 1 7 5 / 1 7 6 Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 7. 90

**Thursday,** **14** **June** **1990**

D. whereas, despite favourable reactions on the part of certain governments, the commitments
entered into by the latter, the conclusions of the special meeting of the European Council in
Dublin and the constructive exchange of views in the course of the preparatory interinstitutional conference, the subsequent meeting of Foreign Ministers in Parknasilla on 18 and
19 May 1990 appears to have resulted only in an inadequate perspective for institutional
reform and a number of governments appear to favour institutional solutions which do not
meet the need for a real transformation of the Community into a European Union,

E. pointing out that no government has so far been able to put forward a model for European
Union and that the only comprehensive and coherent proposal is still that which was
adopted by the EP on 14 February 1984('),'

1. Reaffirms that the essential elements of European Union should be:

— economic and monetary Union with a single currency and an autonomous central bank;

— a common foreign policy, including joint consideration of the issues of peace, security and
arms control;

— a completed single market with common policies in all the areas in which the economic
integration and mutual interdependence of the Member States require common action,
notably to ensure economic and social cohesion and a balanced environment;

— elements of common citizenship and a common framework for protecting basic rights;

— an institutional system which is sufficiently efficient to manage these responsibilities effec­
tively and which is democratically structured, notably by giving the European Parliament
the right of initiative, of co-decision with the Council on Community legislation, the right to
ratify all constitutional decisions requiring the ratification of the Member States also and
the right to elect the President of the Commission;

2. Points out that the guidelines set out by a number of governments — which were drawn up
in national foreign ministries without political or parliamentary debate — run counter to the
initiatives and proposals put forward by many Heads of State or Government and jeopardize the
basic principles and the existing institutional balance;

3. Declares that it will not agree to solutions aimed at strengthening unilaterally the inter­
governmental institutions of the Community (the Council and the European Council), at
withdrawing from Parliament the role which falls to it as the legitimate representative of the
citizens of Europe and at confining the Commission to a technical role in areas where, on the
contrary, it should be the driving force behind the process of European unification;

4. Recalls that its Committee on Institutional Affairs, pursuant to Parliament's resolution of
14 March 1990, is preparing more detailed proposals for Treaty changes; considers that these
proposals should be discussed with the Foreign Ministers in further meetings of the interinstitutional preparatory conference as a basis for the final draft of the Treaty reforms;

5. Recalls that its Committee on Institutional Affairs is also preparing a draft constitution for
European Union, updating the draft Treaty of 1984;

_**i**_

6. Launches a solemn appeal to the Heads of State or Government meeting in the European
Council, to the President of the Commission and to the Foreign Ministers, requesting them:

— to give clear expression and backing at the forthcoming Dublin Summit, to the will of the
citizens of Europe as expressed through the European Parliament;.

— to agree to convene a second intergovernmental conference on European Union and, for this
purpose, to open the consultation procedure under Article 236 of the EEC Treaty;

**Thursday,** **14** **June** **1990**

— not to grant their approval to contradictory and ineffective solutions which could jeopardize
the basic principles of European unification;

— to guarantee the constituent role of the EP in constructing European union;

— to reaffirm the urgent need to transform the EC into a real federal European Union so as to
contribute to the stability and political cohesion of Europe in view of the developments
under way in Eastern and Central Europe and in order to prevent another resurgence of
nationalist rivalries, which would have a destructive impact on Europe as a whole;

7. Hopes that an agreement on the requests set out above and on the close involvement of the
European Parliament in intergovernmental conferences can be reached between the European
Parliament, the Commission and the Member States during the preparatory interinstitutional
conference and points out that the opinion which it delivers on the convening of the intergov­
ernmental conferences will be conditional on the acceptance of these requests;

8. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the European Council, the govern­
ments, the national parliaments and the Commission.

2. ensure that consideration is given to all aspects of foreign and security policy when EPC is
integrated into the Community's activities;

4. ensure that the Community adopts common positions at all levels of the Conference on

5. draw up proposals to secure lasting peace in Europe and to submit these as a common

6. set up, within the context of EPC, a working group commissioned to draw up proposals for

**Thursday,** **14** **June** **1990**

A. outraged at the fact that the Council excludes immigrants from third countries from its
resolution on combating racism and xenophobia in the Community, thereby discriminating
against more than eight million people in the Community,

B. noting that the Commissioner for Social Affairs has distanced herself from the contents of
that resolution,

C. convinced that protection from racism and xenophobia must extend to all people in the
Community regardless of their nationality, colour, origins, religion or sex,

D. considering that European residents who are not Community nationals often bear the brunt
of racist and xenophobic attacks and deserve protection from such acts,

E. having regard to the resurgence of racist and xenophobic activities in all the Member
States,

F. considering the ruling of the Court of Justice of 22 May 1990, extending to the European
Parliament the power to institute legal proceedings against the Council under Article 173 of
the EEC Treaty and Article 146 of the Euratom Treaty,

G. noting that its own Committee of Inquiry into Racism and Xenophobia is due to report to
Parliament in September 1990,

1. Condemns all acts of racism, xenophobia and discrimination based on nationality, race or
religion;

2. Reiterates its criticism of the resolution on racism and xenophobia adopted by the Council
and the Representatives of the Member States' Governments for confining itself to recognizing
that certain legal measures both at institutional and administrative level could help to prevent
acts inspired by racism or xenophobia;

3. Regrets that the resolution adopted fails to acknowledge the need for Community action to
combat racism and xenophobia where the victims are European residents who are not Commu­
nity nationals;

4. Believes that this failing constitutes a clear breach of the undertaking made in the Joint
Declaration against Racism and Xenophobia, which specifically mentions 'workers who have
their origins in other Member States or in third countries' and 'the Member State in which they
legally reside';

5. Resolves to consult its Committee on Legal Affairs and its Legal Service with a view to
examining the possibility of instituting proceedings under Article 173 of the EEC Treaty and
Article 146 of the Euratom Treaty against the Council to enforce respect for its prerogatives;

6. Calls on the Commission to use all means of redress to combat this resolution and to lodge
an appeal with the European Court of Justice;

7. Calls on the Council to adopt forthwith a declaration extending to immigrants from third
countries the same level of protection from racism and xenophobia as is afforded to citizens of
Member States;

8. Requests the Commission, the Council and the Member States to introduce immediately
the legal instruments needed to follow up the conclusions of the 1986 Joint Declaration against
Racism and Xenophobia,

9. Calls, accordingly, on the Member States, in view of the resurgence of racism and xeno­
phobia, to promulgate stricter legislation condemning all acts of racism and xenophobia and to
ensure that it is implemented;

10. Looks forward to the recommendations of its Committee of Inquiry for effective Com­
munity action to combat racism and xenophobia;

N o C' 175/180 Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 7. 90

11. Reiterates its belief that an action programme in favour of migrant workers aimed at
social, cultural and political integration is long overdue;

RESOLUTION

**on** **migrant workers from third countries**

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

— having regard to its resolutions of 9 May 1985 ('), 14 February 1989 ( [2] ) and 15 March
1989 ( [3] ) and the Joint Declaration of 11 June 1986 on racism and xenophobia,

— having regard to the Commission report on the social integration of third-country migrants
of 22 June 1989 (COM(89) 924 final),

A. whereas completion of the single market implies the implementation in parallel and without
delay of the social dimension within the Community and whereas it is not possible to
exclude from these arrangements a group of 8 million non-Community migrants working
and living lawfully within the Community,

B. whereas the phenomenon of immigration by migrant workers from third countries is likely
to increase and become a structural problem, in view of recent developments in some
countries, especially those in Central and Eastern Europe, and of the worsening situation in
the developing countries,

C. whereas a policy for the integration of all migrants, including non-Community migrants,
into the host society must be carried out without discrimination and on the basis of the
acquisition of fundamental social rights,

D. whereas the Charter of fundamental social rights states 'that workers from non-member
countries and members of their families who are legally resident in a Member State of the
European Community' should be 'able to enjoy, as regards their living and working condi­
tions, treatment comparable to that enjoyed by workers who are nationals of the Member
State concerned',

E. whereas the absence of a common immigration policy may have adverse consequences and
provoke increasingly acute tension on the European labour market, particularly as regards
the illegal entry of manpower, clandestine employment, non-contractual working and pay
conditions, the absence of social security protection and the development of a precarious
economy based on social dumping,

F. whereas the Joint Declaration of 11 June 1986 in which the Community sets itself the
objective of combating all forms of racism and segregation requires a coherent Community
policy which takes into account and finds a solution to all the problems associated with daily
life and work for both Community and non-Community migrants,

16. 7. 90 Official Journal of the European Communities N o C 175/181

**Thursday,** **14** **June** **1990**

G. deeply concerned at the conclusions adopted by the Social Affairs Council on this subject on
29 May 1990,

1. Considers that there is an urgent need to tackle the problem at Community level so as to
establish a definition of Community policy on the subject and examine the possibility of
gradually extending the rights devolving on EEC migrant workers, taking particular account of
the following aspects:

— the entry and residence of workers in Community countries, including the right to reunite
families, as laid down in Regulation 1612/68,

— the free movement of persons throughout the territory of the Community,

— access to employment and living, working and housing conditions,

— social rights and social protection,

— the right to education, continuing training and vocational skills,

—
social integration,

— the position of female immigrants from third countries,

— the right to vote in local elections;

2. Asks the Council to follow Parliament's opinion on the revision of Regulation 1612/68 and
of Directive 360/68 and to consider whether and under what conditions it is feasible to extend
the scope of the provisions laid down in this legislation to all non-Community second-generation
migrants and political refugees;

3. Asks the Council to ensure that all measures concerning non-Community migrants are
taken on the basis of the T reaties and not by means of conventions or agreements signed between
Member States;

4. Decides to arrange in June 1991 — jointly with the other Community institutions — a
European conference on migrant workers from third countries with a view to arriving at the
definition of a platform of common problems and to implementing an overall coordinated
Community campaign;

5. Instructs its President to determine the organizational arrangements for this conference;

6. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the
Economic and Social Committee and the governments and parliaments of the Member
States.

_(The_ _sitting_ _was_ _opened_ _at 9 a.m.)_

**1.** **Approvalof minutes**

The minutes of the previous day's sitting were
approved.

**2.** **Agenda**

The President announced that:

(a) the list of speakers for that day's debates would be
closed at 9.30 a.m. and speaking time for all Members
would be limited to two minutes, with the exception of
rapporteurs;

(b) she had received from the EPP and E D Groups a
request under Rule 56 (3) for the Commission state­
ment on Romania to be followed by a debate.

Parliament approved this request.

The deadline for tabling motions for resolutions to
wind up the debate was set as 12 noon on 5 July and
the deadline for tabling amendments to them as 7 p.m.
on 9 July.

The following spoke:

— Mr Musso, who protested at the fact that the joint
debate on the Raffarin, Cushnahan and Welsh reports
(Docs A 3-143, 139 and 142/90), which had been inter­
rupted the previous day, appeared on the agenda after
the Romera i Alcazar and Wynn reports (Docs A 3-140
and 149/90) (the President pointed out that these two
reports had been entered under urgent procedure); he
asked that the continuation of the joint debate be
placed before the two reports;

— Mr von der Vring, on the need to adhere to the
agenda as established;

— Mr B. Simpson, who gave notice that he would be
asking for a statement from the Commission at the next

part-session on the UK Government's decision not to
build a high-speed rail link between the Channel Tun­
nel £nd London;

— Mr Howell, on the admissibility of oral question
Doc. B 3-1062/90, which had been entered on the
agenda in joint debate with the Miranda da Silva report
(Doc. A 3-132/90) (the President told him that this
question had already been examined by the President
of Parliament who had decided that it was compatible
with Rule 58);

— Mr Pereira and Mr Escuder Croft, who supported
Mr Musso's request.

The President put Mr Musso's request to the House.

The request was rejected by electronic vote.

The agenda therefore remained unchanged.

The following spoke: Mr von der Vring, on the vote
which had just been taken,, and Mr Amendola, on the
agenda.

**RESOLUTION**

**on the** **deliberations** **of the** **Committee** **on** **Petitions during** **the** **parliamentary year 1989-1990, with**
**indications** **as** **regards future procedure** **for** **handling petitions**

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

— having regard to Rule 129(5) of the Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to its previous resolutions on petitions, in particular the resolution adopted on
26 May 1989 on the basis of the annual report (Doc. A2-79/89) on the activities of the
Committee on Petitions during the 1988-1989 parliamentary year('),

— having regard to the interinstitutional declaration signed at the sitting of 12 April 1989 ( [2] ) on
petitioning the European Parliament,

— having regard to the report of its Committee on Petitions (Doc. A3-107/90),

A. whereas the number of petitions has increased steadily in recent years,

B. whereas in the interinstitutional declaration of 12 April 1989 the Presidents of Parliament,
the Council and the Commission were pleased to note that the practice of petitioning was
increasing and 'hoped that the European Parliament would be able to obtain as clear and
swift replies as possible to those questions which the Commission might decide (...) to
forward to the Member States concerned',

1. Affirms that the corollary to the citizen's right to submit petitions in order to request action
on his behalf or to ask Parliament to state its position is that Parliament and the other
Community institutions have a duty to consider such petitions and to take appropriate action on
them;

2. Acknowledges with satisfaction that the Commission, on the basis of a correct perception
of interinstitutional relations, is cooperating extremely actively in the handling of the petitions
forwarded to it by the Committee on Petitions, and calls for this collaboration to be stepped up,
and for tangible measures to be taken, in the interests of petitioners, to achieve a sharp reduction
in the time taken to reply;

3. Calls on the Member States, with reference to the interinstitutional declaration mentioned
in recital B, to take the measures necessary to reduce the time taken to reply to questions
concerning petitions addressed to them by Parliament and the Commission;

4. Expresses its satisfaction with the cooperation initiated between the Committee on Peti­
tions and the ombudsmen and parliamentary committees in the Member States, which, once it is
increased and better organized, will enable the problems raised in petitions to be dealt with by
the most appropriate body, at Community or at national level;

5. Calls on the Committee on Petitions to continue its efforts to assist petitioners, within the
limits of the Community's powers and responsibilities;

6. Stresses the importance of petitions for Parliament and for the Communities, in that they
provide a link with individual citizens, an indicator of a general need or feeling of unease and, in
short, a means of contributing to the democratic running of the Community;

7. Calls, therefore, on all its committees to consider carefully the proposals and ideas con­
tained in the petitions forwarded to them by the Committee on Petitions and, where necessary,
to envisage taking appropriate action;

8. Decides, moreover, that it is vital that the public be informed as fully as possible of the right
to petition the European Parliament and of what exactly this right entails and therefore calls on
the competent parliamentary services to make basic information on this subject widely available
through the appropriate means;

9. Instructs its President to forward this resolution and the report of its committee to the
Commission, the Council, the governments and parliaments of the Member States, the national
petitions committees or other committees with competence in this field and the national
ombudsmen.

primarily favoured other than less favoured regions,

E. considering that the STRIDE initiative strives to integrate research, business and education
on a regional basis in a highly flexible way,

F. considering that integrated innovation schemes have proved to be more successful than
single plant innovation,

G. whereas the dissemination to industry of the findings of publicly funded research must be
taken into account when regional strategies are being drawn up,

H. considering that less-favoured regions are often peripheral with an agricultural and touristic
based economy, that need specific basic production improvements and environmentally
acceptable innovation,

I. considering that rural and coastal regions are often in need of particular research and
development activities, which are not available in the centres of excellence,

J. considering that many less favoured regions are particularly apt for research in new fields of
science like bio-technology, marine-technology, aqua-farming, agro-industry, agro-ecology
and environmental technology,

dimension for Community policy in this field; deplores the fact that the Commission is acting on
the basis of a communication which has no legal value and does not require an opinion by the
European Parliament;

2. Calls on the Commission to adopt a decision on STRIDE as it has for RECHAR and
ENVIREG;

_**II. The**_ _**Programme**_

3. Supports the idea to give priority to those fields of research which have been identified as
being capable of enhancing the economic potential of the region, by strengthening the indige­
nous potential and long-term economic growth of the regions;

16. 7. 90 Official Journal of the European Communities N o C 175/221

**Friday,** **15** **June** **1990**

4. Agrees that regional research programmes should be directly related to the natural
resources' potential and environmental conditions specific to the region or to the regions
geographically adjacent and asks the Commission to ensure that the STRIDE proposal takes
account of particular regional interests and requirements by giving special support to those
projects which are consistent with a strategy for the development of research and technology in
the regions;

5. Doubts whether it will be appropriate to have mainly external evaluations of the RTD
potentials of research bodies in order to determine technological target areas, rather than
including local and regional authorities in such an evaluation;

6. Agrees that measures like the twinning of research institutes and the financing of transfers
of RTD activities and research staff from prosperous regions or of nationals from abroad to less
favoured regions may also contribute to the strengthening of a research capability in LFRs;
hesitates, however, to consider this as a measure to effectively enhance the technological and
economic base of a region and to strengthen its indigenous potential in the long term; warns that
this could well contribute to community-funded 'science tourism';

7. Supports the STRIDE initiative's approach in category B to support participation in [ 1 ]

Community and other international research programmes and networks; asks, however, what
sort of lasting regional economic impact shall follow from such cooperation;

8. Agrees that 'know-how' of the centres is essential and required and that the dissemination
and application of knowledge is a prerequisite for economic growth; is aware of the fact that
LFRs are less open to innovation than is the case in the centres; doubts, nevertheless, that this
can justify the underlying 'from-top-to-bottom' approach of the STRIDE initiative; is convinced
that each region has the people who can evaluate or who can learn to evaluate what should be
technological target areas and measures to be taken to increase the capabilities of a particular
region;

9. Stresses the need for less-favoured regions to be supported through STRIDE in ways that
may be quite different in terms of research fields, organization and communication from those
established research centres in the more favoured regions;

10. Supports the initiative in that it offers an expansion of the regional university business
training associations set up under the COMETT programme;

11. Supports assistance for the purchase of equipment and know-how for applied research,
experimental development, pilot projects and the introduction of innovation into products and
processes, and research related to quality control as stated in Article 9b; rejects, however, the
restriction to objective 1 regions;

12. Agrees to the encouragement of cooperation between innovation services and facilities
and the productive sector especially the regional crofts; proposes, however, that applied science,
the implementation of know-how on the practical level of SME-research and development, the
development of the research, technology and innovation capacities of these enterprises as well as
product testing and improvement should be given more importance;

13. Considers that, in view of the limited nature of the resources available, the STRIDE
initiative should focus, as a priority, on development of non-material research and technology

measures;

14. Would add to Article 9e, which stresses the importance of supporting different sorts of
vocational training, that the bulk of people trained and educated for the productive sector and
those to become technology transfer agents should belong to the respective region or at least
work there;

15. Asks the Commission to ensure more clearly the aspect of integration of different parti­
cipants at the regional level;

No C 175/222 Official Journal of the European Communities 16.7.90

**Friday,** **15** **June** **1990**

16. Proposes that assistance be provided under STRIDE in order to encourage new industries
or the expansion of research and technology-intensive investment;

_**III. The**_ _**approach**_ _**of**_ _**consortia**_

17. Congratulates the Commission that in category C the organizational concept of consortia
has been introduced to foster cooperative links between firms, among firms and research
centres, among education and research bodies and between them and large, small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs);

18. Proposes to elaborate in more detail the concept of consortia to give more weight to both
the integrational approach and the regional approach;

19. Favours consortia as organizational and conceptual backbones of research and innova­
tion activities in LFRs to ensure integrational approaches to research and the participation of
the local and regional population; they should also serve as partners to the Commission both in
the initial phase as well as later in the phase of evaluation and control;

20. Proposes that the Commission launch a publicity campaign to enhance the reputation of
the consortium concept and promote the STRIDE approach through what might be termed
'EUROTEC centres';

_**IV. The**_ _**choice**_ _**of**_ _**regions**_

21. Asks the Commission to abandon its plan to exclude objective 5b regions from STRIDE
and only support them in the framework of possible future initiatives; considers the separation
of objective 1 and objective 5b regions as arbitrary, especially as they tend to be similar in nature
as regards the requirements for research and innovation,

22. Reminds the Commission that there are many objective 5b regions just on the verge of
falling behind economically or getting the right kick of support to be able to catch up with the
better off regions;

23. Asks the Commission to stress — apart from the dedication to objective 1 and objective 2
regions more clearly the regional character of STRIDE;

24. Supports the criterion of excellence as measure of any research activity supported by the
Community; asks, however, to apply a definition of excellence which is closer to the needs and
the potential of LFRs and of which the measure should be the standard of the regions concerned
rather than 'silicon valley';

25. Refers to the MAHER report on an integrated rural development programme for the
less-favoured areas in Northern Ireland (Doc. A2-105/86), which called for an integrated devel­
opment programme to be drawn up, centring primarily on the following:

— a programme to encourage diversification of agricultural production, in particular through
pilot funding schemes,

— measures to take full account of social, cultural and ecological factors,

— the development of training services geared to the needs of the local communities;

_**V.**_ _**Management**_ _**of the**_ _**operational programmes**_

26. Calls on the Member States to submit every three years a report on the progress of the
projects to the Commission and the European Parliament which must deliver opinions on the

matter;

27. Calls on the Commission, at the end of the third year, to prepare an evaluation for the
European Parliament assessing the real and quantifiable cohesion effects of the STRIDE,
actions;

28. Calls on the Commission to take adequate consideration of the regional dimension of
Community RTD in the preparation of the specific programmes of the Community Framework
Programme for research and technological development.

— having regard to the work of the Council of Europe in this field and in particular the
European Outline Convention N o 106 of 1980 on Transfrontier Cooperation between
Territorial Communities or Authorities and the European Regional/Spatial Planning Chart­
er of 1983,

— having regard to the work of the Association of European Border. Regions, and in particular
its European Charter of Border Regions of 21 January 1977,

— having regard to the study financed by the Commission on cooperation between border
regions for local and regional development ('),

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Regional Policy and Regional Planning
(Doc. A3-139/90),

— having regard to the report of the Consultative Council of Regional and Local Authorities
meeting on 24-25 October 1989 on a support framework for Community border areas,

A. whereas, historically, border regions have suffered the adverse effects of the inward-looking
attitudes adopted by certain European countries,

B. whereas the socio-economic situation of these areas is frequently worse than that of other
regions in the same country and whereas they have poor infrastructures, fewer services and
difficulty in exploiting natural resources, given that they are frequently located in areas
where there are natural geographical barriers,

C. whereas the European Community expected thait the common market would automatically
resolve the problems of frontier regions and has left this policy in the hands of individual
states and other international bodies concerned with cooperation,

D. whereas the disappearance of borders following the completion of the internal market may
deprive certain border areas of a major source of revenue,

E. having regard to the importance of the subsidiarity principle which makes for greater
efficiency and control in relation to public administration,

F. having regard to the scant results achieved by the Commission's recommendation of 9
October 1981 on transfrontier coordination for regional development, designed to promote
transfrontier programmes common to various states which in most cases did not progress
beyond the study stage,

G. whereas sectoral transfrontier cooperation which is currently predominant must give way to
a wider framework of integral and generalized cooperation,

H. whereas it is also necessary to assist the regions at the Community's external frontiers,
particularly those which have frontiers with underdeveloped regions and with the countries
of Eastern Europe,

I. whereas in most cases the least developed border areas coincide with the regions included
under Objective 1, but whereas some of the border areas covered by Objectives 2 and 5b also
suffer from underdevelopment and serious shortcomings as regards infrastructure and
services,

J. whereas most of the Member States have signed and ratified the European Outline Con­
vention on Transfrontier Cooperation drawn u p by the Council of Europe,

K. whereas transfrontier cooperation can make a valuable contribution to the achievement in
practice of a 'People's Europe' and to forging closer links between peoples on either side of
national borders within a European framework,

L. having regard to the particular situation of transfrontier areas in respect of the major
environment hazards arising from large industrial plant,

M. whereas transfrontier cooperation should not be regarded as the exclusive responsibility of
the Member States,

N. having regard to the traditional tourist structures, which are divided by the Community's
internal and external borders,

1. Supports the drawing up of a transfrontier cooperation programme in the form of a
Commission initiative financed from the structural funds:

_**Background**_ _**to the**_ _**Community initiatives**_

2. Notes that the Commission has changed the legal procedure used to approve the first two
Community initiatives, RECHAR and ENVIREG, and instead of Commission 'decisions' is
simply addressing 'communications' to the Member States laying down guiding principles for.
the operational programmes (for each individual programme); the result is a lack of both clarity
and legal security which the Commission should be required to justify;

3. Considers that, of the Community initiatives so far proposed by the Commission, the
present programme is the most consistent with the objectives for this type of programme laid
down under the rules in force;

4. Reiterates its rejection of the Commission's practice of submitting each of the Community
initiatives separately, thereby avoiding a joint discussion; if the Commission continues to
interpret the powers in respect of these programmes assigned to it under the structural fund
reform as a blank cheque, the European Parliament will be compelled to use its budgetary
powers to make its views felt;

_**Previous measures**_ _**in the**_ _**field**_ _**of**_ _**transfrontier cooperation**_

5. Considers that the INTERREG programme should be supplemented by an assessment of
the results achieved by the previous measures taken in this field (studies, non-quota measures,
programmes, etc.);

6. Considers that the Community's efforts to date in the field of transfrontier cooperation
have not been consistent with the expectations raised by the statements which have been made
and by the legislation in force; the Member States have failed to show any genuine willingness to
act and have hardly voiced the demands put forward by the regional bodies concerned and the
Community has failed to give them sufficient encouragement;

_**Transfrontier cooperation following**_ _**the**_ _**reform**_ _**of the**_ _**structural funds**_

7. Hopes that this programme will serve to awaken the interest of the Member States and
offset the almost total lack of provision for transfrontier cooperation in the Community support
frameworks and programmes;

8. Considers that, in order to coordinate the contents of the operational programmes to be
carried out under INTERREG, the Commission should require the Member States to comply
with the joint plan for transfrontier programmes proposed in 1986 by the Directorate-General
for Regional Policy;

9. Takes the view that the INTERREG project should require the participation of regional
bodies in Community border areas in the drafting of the operational programmes and that the
Commission should withhold finance when a Member State fails to comply with this objec­
tive; J

_**Definition**_ _**of**_ _**eligible regions**_

10. Endorses the Commission's proposal that the INTERREG programme shall comply with
the structural fund regulations and apply to the regions at the internal and external frontiers
included under Objectives 1,2 and 5b, at the level of NUTS III, supplementing this in adjoining
areas with studies and pilot projects which may be of benefit to the Community as a whole;

No C 175/226 Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 7. 90

**Friday,** **15** **June** **1990**

11. Requests the Commission to enable operations affecting NUTS III areas included in
INTERREG to be considered as eligible in cases where the work is commissioned from outside
the area;

12. Considers that, since the question of border areas as such is not directly linked to the level
of development, Community resources should not be primarily concentrated in areas covered by
Objective 1 but should be allocated to the areas under Objectives 1, 2 and 5b in accordance with
the problems arising and the possibilities of transfrontier cooperation;

_**Criteria**_ _**for the**_ _**distribution**_ _**of aid and the**_ _**implementation**_ _**of**_ _**programmes**_

13. Considers that the programme should focus as a priority on the regions covered by
Objective 1 and those regions covered by the remaining objectives which have seriously defi­
cient infrastructure and services, as advocated in the recent external study funded by the
Commission in this field, and in those fields which are particularly affected by the removal of
borders as a result of the completion of the internal market; the quality criteria for the
programmes will be considered only as a complementary factor and will cover all the aspects
proposed by the Commission (impact, additionality, monitoring, global strategy, combination
of loans and subsidies);

14. Considers that special attention should be paid to creating alternative employment
opportunities in border areas and municipalities affected by significant job losses in the customs
sector and elsewhere, as a consequence of the completion of the internal market;

15. Requests the Commission to consider the geographic nature of the area in question in
addition to the other criteria for allocating funds to the various programmes;

16. Considers that the impact of each operation on the environment must be one of the basic
criteria in assessing programme quality;

17. Calls for a policy of preventing the construction of new industrial plant which is harmful
to the environment, organizing the conversion of existing industrial plant in transfrontier areas
and providing for alternative economic structures;

18. Urges that, in assessing programme quality, the Commission take into account those
programmes which help to develop cooperation between border communities with a common
historical, cultural and linguistic background;

_**Cooperation with**_ _**the**_ _**countries**_ _**of**_ _**Eastern Europe**_ _**and**_ _**with regions**_ _**at the**_ _**external frontiers**_

19. Considers that the six-month deadline set by the Commission for the submission of
programmes is acceptable for programmes to be drawn up by a single Member State (regions at [ 1 ]

external frontiers), but feels that it may be too short for programmes for regions at the internal
frontiers, which have to be submitted by two or more Member States, and for programmes
concerning frontiers with the countries of Eastern Europe;

20. Requests the Commission, finally, to take all measures to protect consumers against the
effects of the abolition of borders;

21. Fully supports the extension of the INTERREG programme to cover transfrontier
cooperation with the countries of Eastern Europe by means of measures in the Community
regions bordering on these countries and calls on the Commission to set aside for this purpose
part of the aid and funds earmarked for the countries of Eastern Europe, under such projects as
Operation PHARE, the initiatives of the Group of 24 or future aid to the GDR;

22. Takes the view, nevertheless, that the transfrontier cooperation with the Eastern Euro­
pean countries provided for in the INTERREG initiative is insufficient, since the legal frame­
work of the structural fund does not authorize assistance to third countries; calls on the
Commission, therefore, to launch a separate transfrontier programme outside the structural
fund in order to meet the fresh European challenges, given the importance of opening up the
borders with Eastern Europe;

16.7.90 Official Journal of the European Communities N o C 175/227

**Friday,** **15** **June** **1990**

23. Calls on the Commission to promote basic research and the establishment of institutional
frameworks as the basis for future programmes for underdeveloped regions at the Community's
external frontiers, particularly those regions which have frontiers with the countries of Eastern
Europe;

24. Proposes that, after the creation of German economic and monetary union at the latest,
the Commission create the necessary legal framework for extending INTERREG assistance to
border areas in the GDR;

_**Nature**_ _**of**_ _**measures**_

25. Warmly welcomes the broad range of possible measures provided for by the Commission
and considers that in their operational programmes the Member States should place the
emphasis on filling gaps in infrastructure ('missing links'), mainly in the field of transport and
communication, as well as on encouraging private initiatives, through the use of global loans and
regional incentives; it should also provide support or subsidies for appropriate technical assist­
ance; the Commission should also provide specified funding to encourage contact and cooper­
ative ventures between voluntary and commercial organizations; in creating infrastructures
priority must be given to public transport, especially at regional level, paying particular attention
to ecological factors; it is essential for the Commission to carry out preliminary statistical studies
on traffic flows between transfrontier areas (which are unavailable for ambitious transfrontier
cooperation projects involving several different regions);

26. Considers that the criteria applied to INTERREG projects should fully respect the
intention of Article 11 of Regulation 4253/88 so that the programme is additional to the normal
operations of the Structural Funds and focuses on the particular needs of frontier regions;

27. Takes the view that the Commission must not restrict the assistance provided under
paragraph 13(b), in particular investment aid, to small and medium-sized undertakings;

_**Budgetary measures**_

28. Stresses that the Commission should specify, as it has done for the other Community
initiatives, what contribution is to be made from each of the structural funds and the amounts to
be allocated to the programme for research and pilot projects under Article 10 of the ERDF,
Article 1 of the ESF and Article 8 of the EAGGF Guidance Section; this deliberate lack of
precision is further proof of the need to break down the budget lines for the structural funds to
enable the budgetary authority to exert proper control;

29. Considers that the adjustment of the financial perspective carried out on 12 March 1900
will enable an increase of ECU 150 million to be made to the budget proposed by the Commis­
sion for this programme (ECU 700 million);

_**Institutional organization**_

30. Considers it essential that the programmes for regions at the internal borders should be
drawn up jointly by two or more Member States in accordance with the priorities defined by the
regional governments affected; considers that firm encouragement should also be given to the
institutionalization of this type of cooperation by creating and/or supporting organizations
and/or agencies which would bring together all the authorities concerned and, where appro­
priate, the private sector; more effort should also be made to exploit the opportunities offered by
the European Economic Interest Group (EEIG) as regards joint participation by the public and
private sectors;

31. Calls again on the Commission and those Member States which have not yet done so to
ratify and make full use of the Council of Europe's Outline Convention on Transfrontier
Cooperation between Territorial Communities or authorities so as to place cooperation between
such bodies on a proper legal footing; considers that the Benelux Convention offers an example
which should be followed by other countries in this field;

N o C 175/228 Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 7. 90

**Friday,** **15** **June** **1990**

32. Requests the Commission to take account of the time needed to draw u p programmes
involving partners on either side of a border and therefore not to exclude any such programmes
established jointly which are presented after the six-month deadline following the publication of
INTERREG;

_**A**_ _**Community policy**_ _**on**_ _**transfrontier cooperation**_

33. Proposes that the Commission use all the possibilities available to it under current
Community law to make progress towards a Community policy on transfrontier cooperation
by:

(a) requiring the Member States, in agreement with the local and/or regional authorities, to
include transfrontier cooperation measures in the future regional programmes and plans in
connection with the different objectives of the structural funds and under the Community
support frameworks and corresponding operational programmes; the current Community
support frameworks should be revised to take account of this need;

(b) setting u p a Community centre for information and technical assistance with regard to
transfrontier cooperation;

(c) drawing u p a proposal for a directive to promote exchange of information, consultation and
coordination of national measures in frontier regions or measures whose effects extend
beyond national frontiers, and establishing a common system for transfrontier programmes;
transparency and the exchange of information on transfrontier pollution are essential;

(d) ensuring that the new regional planning policy currently being drawn u p by the Commission
and for which the legal and financial basis will be Article 10 of the E R D F regulation, takes
particular account of the problems of frontier regions;

(e) ensuring greater sharing of experiences and pooling of knowledge by establishing a pro­
gramme for interregional cooperation on a wide basis;

                                                            

                                                        -                                                        

34. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the
Member States and the regional authorities of the Community border areas.

G. whereas it is essential that specific Community programmes be set up and approved for the
island regions of Madeira, the Azores and the Canaries, taking their cue from the POSEIDOM programme for the French overseas departments,

1. Welcomes the Commission's decision to consult it on the REGIS programme, as on other
own initiative proposals, as a clear demonstration of the good will and smooth functioning of the
relations between the institutions, and trusts that the Commission will take due account of its
opinion so that this good will and smooth functioning will be continued;

2. Deplores the fact that the Commission has acted through a communication which has no
legal value;

3. Asks the Commission, however, to bring forward for Parliamentary opinion proposals
setting out exactly how the budgetary allocations devoted to Article II Community Initiatives
are to be disbursed, listing those, by fund, which have yet to be allocated;

4. Regrets that the Commission has not yet informed it of the breakdown of expenditure of
budgetary allocations of all three Funds by objective and by type of operation; this failure by the
Commission to respect the wishes of one arm of the budgetary authority could needlessly lead to
difficulties of budgetary control;

5. Considers that the REGIS programme is in line with the objectives of Article II of
Regulation 4253/88/EEC as well as Article 227 of the Treaty;

6. Proposes a budget allocation of ECU 300 million for this programme subject to the
following stipulations:

(a) appropriations under REGIS must be additional to those currently provided for under the
Community Support Frameworks. They are intended to finance operations which are not
provided for under the Community Support Frameworks, or which are provided for but
must be allocated more funds so as to ensure the success of the policy advocated through the
REGIS initiative;

(b) the establishment of a monitoring system comparable to that established for the IMP's so
that the source of funds and the contribution of each Fund is clearly set out in every

case;

(c) the need to promote cooperation with neighbouring signatory countries of the fourth Lom6
Convention; such cooperation should include all operations provided for under the 'regional
cooperation' chapter of the Convention and encourage the setting up of joint regional
economic programmes;

(d) the provision of the necessary appropriations to extend the programme's duration from
three to five years;

7. Considers that all REGIS projects should pay due respect to the protection of the local
environment and impact statements should be prepared particularly where tourist develop­
ments are concerned;

8. Considers that the REGIS programme should contribute to the development of a form of
tourism better integrated into the local context, as is the case not only with tourism linked to
family hotels, but also with certain types of association tourism; green or integrated tourism is
acceptable provided it does not endanger biologically sensitive areas;

9. Considers that a policy for the protection of the local environment in these islands must be
backed up by an extensive reafforestation campaign;

10. Considers that the creation, development and conservation of nature parks in these
islands, as a complement to the policy of protecting the local environment, must be included
among the measures adopted to diversify the development of the tourist sector;

11. Believes that one of the objectives of this programme must be the protection and devel­
opment of existing natural areas;

12. Considers that, to preserve their tourist potential, the peripheral regions should draw up
regional transport plans based on public transport (restoration of small-scale services or ferry
links) and regional plans for waste management;

**i**

16.7.90 Official Journal of the European Communities N o C 175/231

**Friday,** **15** **June** **1990**

13. Considers that in certain cases the emphasis should be placed on restoring coastal
ecosystems with the aim of redeveloping fishing where it is in decline (40 years ago, the tropical
islands met 40% of their fish requirements);

14. Calls on the Commission to apply new rules of origin to the industrial production of the
regions, so as to make possible a wide-ranging use of raw materials from neighbouring Countries
which are signatories to the Lome Convention;

15. Takes the view that the fitting out of ports with modern equipment should be considered
to be of Community interest;

16. Considers that this programme must include investment in projects for the treatment of
solid waste and the processing of sewage, to protect the environment;

17. Considers that priority should be given to training schemes, particularly in information
technology, and to language teaching so as to stimulate employment in advanced service
industries, as well as in innovatory fields such as cleaning up pollution, water treatment,
managing the architectural and natural heritage and integrated tourism;

18. Believes that universities in these regions should be enabled to offer courses to young
people from neighbouring countries through the awarding of Community grants;

19. Considers that, because of their sensitivity, the peripheral regions will need to be allocated
specific programmes; the projects for Guadeloupe and Reunion should focus on training with a
view to rebuilding an ecological economy, taking account of physical and climatic conditions;
for French Guyana, the emphasis should be placed on local development projects compatible
with preserving the forest in its present state; heritage training programmes for the local
population should permit the potential of this European section of the Amazonian forest to be
kept intact;

20. Calls on the Commission to draw up an aid programme for other islands in areas covered
by objectives 1, 2 and 5b which are encountering difficulties in their economic development;

21. Believes that the REGIS programme budget should be allocated to the regions of the states
concerned on the basis of the following criteria: level of unemployment, per capita income,
extent of remoteness, scarcity of infrastructure, quality of programmes and specific natural
handicaps;

22. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and the Member

States.

**10.** **Seat** **of the** **European Environment Agency**

**— Doc.** **A3-117/90**

**RESOLUTION**

**on the** **seat** **of the** **European Environment Agency**

_**The**_ _**European Parliament,**_

— having regard to the motion for a resolution by Mr CARVALHAS and others on the location
of the European Environment Agency (Doc. B3-378/89),

— having regard to the motion for a resolution by Ms JENSEN and others on siting the
Environment Agency in Denmark (Doc. B3-68/90),

N o C 175/232 Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 7. 90

**Friday,** **15** **June** **1990**

— having regard to the report of the Political Affairs Committee (Doc. A3-117/90),

A. recalling its resolution of 14 March 1990 embodying the opinion of the European Parlia­
ment on the proposal from the Commission for a Council regulation on the establishment of
the European Environment Agency and the European Environment Monitoring and Infor­
mation Network ('),

B. having regard to the important implications of the seat of the European Environment
Agency for its operating conditions and the period within which it could be fully operation­
al,

C. whereas the choice of seat should not be governed solely by technical or material consider­
ations but should, on the contrary, fit in with the Community's institutional policy, fully
satisfy the Agency's operating requirements and ensure ever closer pan-European cooper­
ation between the Community and the countries of both EFTA and Central and Eastern
Europe, especially as regards the environment,

1. Calls for the seat of the Agency to be decided without delay;

2. Believes that the Commission should be condemned for failing adequately to make clear
proposals for the actual seat of the Environment Agency and for the objective criteria which
might guide the decision-making proposals;

3. Calls on the Commission to come forward with such proposals by 1 July 1990;

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