9. Order of business

The next item was the order of business.

The President announced that the draft agenda for that
part-session (PE 149.897) had been distributed, and
that the following changes had been made or proposed
to it (Rules 73 and 74):

The following spoke:

— Mr Cot, on behalf of the SOC Group, who said
that his group would like to see tabled the following
amendments to the agenda:

inclusion in the agenda of a statement by the Commission on the textile industry and on GATT, if possible
before Thursday;

tabling and voting on motions for resolutions pursuant
to Rule 56 (3) to wind up the debate on the Commission statement on poverty made in Brussels to the
Enlarged Bureau open to all Members;

inclusion of the report by Mr Schwartzenberg on AIDS
(A 3-0108/91) as the first item of that day's night sitting
and inclusion in the agenda, as a joint debate, of
another report by Mr Schwartzenberg on care of the terminally ill (A 3-0109/91);

referral back to committee of the Hoon report (A 30091/91) pursuant to Rule 103 and not Rule 71 (2);

referral back to committee of the Verwaerde report
(A 3-0123/91) pursuant to Rule 103;

17.6.91 Official Journal of the European Communities NoC 158/9

Monday, 13 May 1991

postponement to the next part-session of the four
reports on taxation (one report by Mr Patterson, two
reports by Mr Colom i Naval and one report by Mr
Metten);

inclusion on the agenda as second item, immediately
following the Colino Salamanca report on agricultural
prices, of the report by Mr Planas Puchades (A 30077/91) originally included at the end of Tuesday's
agenda;

— Mr Chanterie, on behalf of the EPP Group, who
protested against the requests put forward by the SOC
Group, which he said were in total disregard of the
decisions taken that morning at the meeting of the
chairmen of the political groups. He was also opposed
to the Schwartzenberg report on care for the terminally
ill (A 3-0109/91) being included in the agenda as the
political groups had not had an opportunity to examine
it and as the Legal Affairs Committee had not been
able to give an opinion;

— Mrs Ewing, who supported Mr Chanterie's
remarks regarding the Schwartzenberg report.

_Monday, 13 May 1991:_

— the Gil-Robles report (A 3-0112/91) (item 86) did
not concern a request for the waiver of a member's
immunity but rather, as was made clear in a corrigendum which was published, a request for authorization
for Mr Mendes Bota, _Member of the European Parlia-_
_ment,_ to make a statement at an inquiry; the vote on
this report would take place at voting time at midday
on Tuesday;

The SOC Group had asked, pursuant to Rule 103, for
the Hoon report on unfair terms in consumer contracts
(A 3-0091/91) (item 87) to be referred back to committee. The following spoke: Mr Hoon, on behalf of
the SOC Group, Mr Garcia Amigo and Mr Collins,
_Chairman of the Environment Committee._ Parliament
approved the request for referral back to committee by
electronic vote;

Of the three reports by the Economic Affairs Committee included for joint debate (items 88 to 90), only
the Colom i Naval report on the harmonization of the
structures of excise duties on mineral oils (A 3-0103/
91) had been adopted in committee; the other two
reports would only be put to the vote on Tuesday
morning. Furthermore, the Commission was requesting
urgent procedure for these three reports as well as a
report by Mr Metten on the harmonization of VAT
rates (see end of present item); the Metten report was
also to be put to the vote in committee on Tuesday evening. Under these circumstances these reports were
withdrawn from the agenda and Parliament would be
asked to vote on the request for urgent procedure at the

end of Wednesday's sitting. If the request was
approved these reports should be included in a joint
debate at the beginning of Friday's agenda, as was customary;

The Committee on Energy proposed that the six reports
for joint debate on technological development (items
93 to 98) would be included on the agenda in the following order:

— Rinsche report (A 3-0120/91),

— Salzer report (A 3-0117/91),

— Herve report (A 3-0118/91),

— Anger report (A 3 -0116/91),

— Larive report (A 3-0119/91);

— second Sanz Fernandez report (A 3-0099/91).

Mr Bettini, on behalf of the Green Group, protested
against this order for the reports and wanted to know
whether Parliament was in first or second reading. (The
President replied that the proposed order could
obviously be challenged, in which case there would be
a vote, and that with regard to the procedure followed
Parliament was currently in first reading). Mr Bettini
continued to oppose the order suggested.

Parliament approved this order for the reports.

The Legal Affairs Committee, pursuant to Rule 103,
had asked for the Vernier report on the labelling of
tobacco products (A 3-0106/91) (item 99) to be referred
back to committee.

The following spoke:

— Lord Inglewood, draftsman of the opinion of the
Legal Affairs Committee, who noted that the committee had not yet had an opportunity to examine an
amendment which might alter the legal basis;

— Mr Collins, _Chairman of the Environment Com-_
_mittee,_ who drew attention to the implications of applying Rule 69 (1) together with Rule 36 (3). A very small
minority (four members) could, as was currently the
case, propose a modification of the legal basis which
brought with it the risk of abuses of procedure; he
asked the Committee on the Rules of Procedure to give
this matter their full attention;

— Mr Wijsenbeek on Mr Collins' remarks;

— Sir Christopher Prout, who thought that the Rules
of Procedure required that the Legal Affairs Committee
should be consulted on this occasion, and that a vote
was therefore not required (the President replied that,
in its request, the Legal Affairs Committee had not
invoked Rule 36 (3), but rather Rule 103);

— Lord Ingelwood.

The President put the request for referral back to committee to the vote.

NoC 158/10 Official Journal of the European Communities 17.6.91

Monday, 13 May 1991

Parliament rejected this request by electronic vote.

Sir Christopher Prout noted that if Rule 103 had been
invoked it was nevertheless Rule 36 (3) which was in
fact behind this referral, given that the Legal Affairs
Committee had not yet given its opinion (the President
replied that this question had not been raised that
morning during the meeting of the chairmen of the political groups and that, furthermore, Parliament had just
taken a decision on this matter.

Mr Collins spoke.

The SOC Group asked for the Verwaerde report on
SAVE (A 3-0123/91) to be referred back to committee,
purusant to Rule 103.

The following spoke: Mr Linkohr, on behalf of the
SOC Group, Mr Gasoliba i Bohm and Mr von der
Vring, _Chairman of the Committee on Budgets._

Parliament approved this request.

At the request of the Environment Committee a report
by Mr Schwartzenberg on Europe against AIDS (A 30108/91) was included on the agenda.

The following spoke: Mrs Lehideux, on behalf of the
ER Group, who asked for the report to be postponed to
a later part-session and Mr Collins, _Chairman of the_
_Environment Committee._

Parliament agreed to include the report on the agenda.

The SOC Group asked for a report by Mr Schwartzenberg on care for the terminally ill (A 3-0109/91) to be
included on the agenda with the previous report as a
joint debate.

The President noted that he had decided during that
morning's meeting not to propose including this report,
believing it should be the subject of a separate and thorough debate.

Mr Collins, _Chairman of the Environment Committee,_
stated that this document was not yet available; on
behalf of the SOC Group he therefore withdrew the
request.

The report was not included on the agenda.

Mr Gollnisch questioned the competence of Parliament
to debate this matter.

The report by Mrs Llorca Vilaplana on the creation of a
European prize for women (A 3-0073/91), originally

included as item 126 on Friday's agenda, was brought
forward and included on Monday's agenda.

The following spoke:

— Mr Collins, who, purusant to Rule 56 (3), asked a
statement by the Commission and more specifically by
Sir Leon Brittan, _Vice-President,_ on the investigations
undertaken by the Commission into the steel industry
in the Community (the President pointed out that Mr
Collins should have put his request in writing before
the opening of the part-session),

— Mrs Daly, who pointed out that her group had
asked for a Commission statement on the distribution
of emergency food aid to relieve famine in Africa (the
President replied that this matter would be dealt with at
the appropriate moment).

_Tuesday, 14 May:_

The report on agricultural prices (A 3-0104/91) was
drawn up by Mr Colino Salamanca and not by Mr
Gorlach, as suggested in the draft agenda;

With regard to joint debate of several budgetary matters (items 103 to 105),

— the report on additional measures following the
Gulf conflict was withdrawn from the agenda as it had
not been adopted in committee;

— a report (second reading) on the draft supplementary and amending budget for 1991, which had been
received from the Council was likely to be adopted that
evening by the Committee on Budgets, in which case it
would be included in the joint debate in question;

The SOC Group had asked for the Planas Puchades
report on Community enlargement (A 3-0077/91) originally included as the last item on the agenda to be
brought forward and inserted after the debate on agricultural prices (Parliament agreed to this request).

Mr Seal asked the President to deal with the proposal
put forward by Mr Cot concerning the textile industry
(the President replied that this matter would be dealt
with at the end of the order of business).

_Wednesday, 15 May:_

No changes.

_Thursday, 16 May:_

No changes.

17.6.91 Official Journal of the European Communities NoC 158/11

Monday, 13 May 1991

_Friday, 17 May:_

The De Clerq report on beef (A 3-0127/91), which had
not been adopted in committee, was withdrawn from
the agenda.

two motions for resolutions tabled pursuant to Rule
41 (4), one by the Committee on the Environment concerning plant protection products (B 3-0730/91), the
other by the Committee on Women's Rights on the protection at work of pregnant women and women who
have recently given birth (B 3-0731/91), were included
at the end of the agenda.

The ED Group asked for a statement by the Commission on the procedures adopted to distribute emergency
aid for famine relief.

The following spoke: Mrs Daly, on behalf of the ED
Group, Mr Chanterie, on behalf of the EPP Group,
who proposed including this point in the topical and
urgent debate, and Mrs Daly, who agreed to this proposal on condition that the Commission make a statement on this matter (the President noted this and
informed Mrs Daly that the Commission had noted her
remark).

The SOC Group requested a statement by the Commission on the textile industry and GATT.

The following spoke: Mr Seal, on behalf of the SOC
Group, who agreed with the remarks Mr Cot had made
previously, Mr Chanterie, on behalf of the EPP Group,
who proposed, given that the agenda was already full,
that this matter should be included in the agenda of the
Enlarged Bureau open to all members to be held the
following week in Brussels.

The following spoke: Mr. A. Smith, Mr Ford, who
asked for Rule 56 (3) to be applied to meetings of the
Enlarged Bureau open to all members (the President
replied that this important matter which had already
been raised during the debate on poverty would be submitted to the Bureau and possibly to the Committee on
the Rules of Procedure).

The President asked Parliament for its view on the
inclusion of this statement in the agenda of the current
part-session.

Parliament agreed to this proposal.

The following spoke on the application of Rule 56 (3)
to the Enlarged Bureau open to all members: Mr Ford,
who asked for the matter to be referred to the Committee on the Rules of Procedure, Mr McMahon, Mr

Chanterie and Mr Price, who rioted that, in order to
comply with the terms of this Rule, plenary sessions
should be held in Brussels.

The President informed Parliament that, pursuant to
Rule 131 (1) he would refer the matter to the Committee on the Rules of Procedure in order to find out

whether motions for resolutions could be tabled to
wind up debates on statements by other institutions
made at meetings of the Enlarged Bureau open to all
Members, and that he would ask the committee to give
its opinion on this matter before the next part-session.

The order of business was thus established.

_Requests for_ _applicaton_ _ofurgent_ _procedure_ (Rule 75)

Request were made by:

A. the Council for:

— four proposals for regulations on health conditions
governing:

fresh poultrymeat and fresh meat of reared game birds
(C 3-0211/91);

fresh meat (C 3-0056/90);

fishery products (C 3-0080/90)

live bivalve molluscs (C 3-0054/90)

(Fitzsimons report (A 3-0303/90), Florenz report (A 30075/91), Vernier (A 3-0079/91).

Reason for the request: the Council attached great
importance to the completion of the single market and
to the work of the 'interinstitutional coordination'
working group on which Parliament is represented and
which aims to make progress in the legislation which
still has to be completed in order to achieve the single
market.

— a proposal for a directive on the harmonization of
technical requirements and procedures applicable to
civil aircraft (C 3-0367/90).

Reason for the request: the Council would like to legislate on this proposal at its special session on transport
on 20 and 21 June 1991.

— a proposal for regulation laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on
animals entering the Community from third countries
(C 3-0191/91).

Reason for the request: the proposed regulation has to
enter into force on 1 July 1991.

— three proposals for decisions providing mediumterm supplementary financial assistance for Bulgaria

No C 158/12 Official Journal of the European Communities 17.6.91

Monday, 13 May 1991

(C 3-0192/91), Hungary (C 3-0193/91) and Romania
(C 3-0200/91) (Tomlinson report A 3-0134/91).

Reason for the request: the Council would like to legislate as soon as possible on these proposals, having
regard on the one hand to the need of these countries
and on the other hand to the aid already agreed with
international financial institutions.

— a proposal for a regulation (EEC) amending a
regulation introducing a credit guarantee for exports of
agricultural products and foodstuffs from the Community to the Soviet Union (C 3-0210/91) (Lamassoure
report A 3-0135/91).

Reason for the request: the aim of this proposal was to
amend the repayment conditions of loans to the Soviet
Union. So that it should conclude the agreement with
the Soviet Union before the end of May, the Council
needed to legislate on this proposal as quickly as possible.

Parliament would be called upon to vote on these
requests for urgent debate at the start of the following
day's sitting.

B. the Commission for:

— a proposal for a directive completing the common
system of VAT (C 3-0025/89) (Metten report A 30136/91);

— a proposal for a directive concerning the holding
and movement of products subject to excise duty (C 30391/90) Patterson report A 3-0137/91);

— a proposal for a directive on the approximation of
the rates of excise duty on mineral oils (C 3-0026/90)
(Colom i Naval report A 3-0138/91);

— a proposal for a directive on the harmonization of
the structures of excise duties on mineral oils (C 30394/90) (Colom i Naval report A 3-0103/91).

_Reason for the request:_ the Council intends to take a
decision on these four proposals at its meeting of
3 June 1991.

Parliament would be asked to vote on these requests
for urgent procedure at the start of its sitting on
Wednesday.

_Application of procedure without_ _report_ (Rule 116)

Application of procedure without report had been
requested by:

A. the Committee on Agriculture for:

— a proposal for a regulation on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (C 3-0182/91).

B. the Committee on the Environment for:

— a proposal for a decision concerning the approval
of the Convention on the International Commission
for the Protection of the Elbe (C 3-0194/91).

These proposals would be put to the vote at the beginning of the sitting on Friday.

10. Topical and urgent debate (subjects proposed)

The President proposed the following five subjects for
the next topical and urgent debate to be held on Thursday:

— natural disasters (in particular the situation in
Bangladesh and the famine in Africa),

— situation in Yugoslavia,

— conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan,

— situation in southern Africa,

— human rights (in particular in Kuwait).

— extended to 12 noon on Tuesday for:

PART II

Texts adopted by the European Parliament

1. Authorization for Mr Mendes Bota to make a statement at an inquiry

— A3-0112/91

RESOLUTION

on the request for authorization for Mr Jose Mendes Bota to make a statement at an inquiry

_The European Parliament,_

— having received a request from the President of the Assembly of the Portuguese Republic,
dated 28 June 1990, for authorization for Mr Mendes Bota to make a statement at an
inquiry conducted by the Assembly of the Portuguese Republic,

— having regard to Articles 9 and 10 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the
European Communities annexed to the Treaty of 8 April 1965 and Article 4(2) of the Act
concerning the Election of Representatives to the European Parliament by direct universal
suffrage of 20 September 1976,

— having regard to the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European* Communities of
12 May 1964 and 10 July 1986 ('),

— having regard to Article 161 of the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic as well as
Article 13 of Law No 3/85 of 13 March 1985 and Article 1 of Law No 144/85 of 31 December 1985 of the Portuguese Republic,

— having regard to Rules 5, 112 and 118 of its Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on the Rules of Procedure, the Verification of
Credentials and Immunities (A3-0112/91),

A. whereas the aim of parliamentary immunity is to guarantee the independence of the
European Parliament and its Members in relation to other authorities; whereas, therefore,
the purpose of immunity is to ensure the proper functioning of Parliament and of the
European Communities,

B. whereas the prohibition laid down in Article 161 of the Portuguese Constitution, which
states that Members may not be summoned as witnesses without authorization, does not
have this same aim, being considered in Portugal as one of the 'rights and privileges' of
Members and not as an immunity,

C. whereas the competence of the European Parliament is restricted to 'immunities' pursuant
to Article 10 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities,

D. whereas the request for authorization has once more highlighted the continuing complications and disturbances caused by the differences in the status of Members of the European
Parliament in their respective Member States, which is detrimental to the principle of legal
certainty,

1. Decides that there are no grounds for granting or refusing the authorization requested;

_2'._ Reiterates its resolutions of 16 September 1983 ( [2] ) and 10 March 1987 ( [3] );

(') Judgment of the Court of Justice, in Case 101/63: Wagner v Fohrmann and Krier [1964] ECR 397 and Case 149/85:

3. Instructs its President immediately to forward this resolution and the report of the committee to the President of the Assembly of the Portuguese Republic, the Council, the Commission and the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

2. Development finance under Lome IV        

— Proposals for regulations COM(90) 0243 and COM(90) 0446: rejected

— A3-0100/91

LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION

embodying the opinion of the European Parliament on the proposal from the Commission to the
Council for a draft financial regulation applicable to development finance cooperation under the

Fourth Lome Convention

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to the proposal from the Commission to the Council (COM(90) 0243) (') and
the modified proposal (COM(90) 0446) ( [2] ),

— having been consulted by the Council (C3-0341/90),

— having regard to the Treaty establishing European Economic Community, and in particular
Article 209 thereof,

— having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors,

— having regard to its resolution of 14 December 1990 ( [?] ) on the legal basis of the proposal
from the Commission to the Council and the modified proposal,

— having regard to the report by the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinions of the
Committee on Development and Cooperation and the Committee on Budgets (A30100/91),

A. whereas the Commission's proposal is in violation of the provisions of the EEC Treaty, and
in particular of Articles 199 and 209 thereof,

1. Rejects the Commission's proposal;

2. Calls on the Commission to withdraw its proposal;

3. Asks the Commission to submit a new proposal taking into account the General Financial
Regulation and the opinion of the Court of Auditors;

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

3. European prize for women

— A3-0073/91

RESOLUTION

on a European prize for women

_The European Parliament,_

_—_
having regard to the motion for a resolution by Mrs Llorca Vilaplana (B3-0614/89),

the level of participation and enhanced the profile of the contributions made by women in
the social and professional spheres,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Women's Rights (A3-0073/91),

A. having regard to the social objectives recognized in the Treaty of Rome, in respect of the
situation and recognition of women's activities; whereas, in the three action programmes on
the situation of women, emphasis is placed on the need to encourage women's work by
means of appropriate forms of recognition; whereas the existing prizes mentioned above
need to be supported and reinforced by others so as to encompass and reward more of the
many women who do valuable work, often unmentioned, which is not always appreciated or
recognized,

B. whereas prizes of the type suggested in the motion for a resolution (B3-0614/89) would
certainly be well received by the European public,

C. whereas, in terms of the principles laid down for developing a genuine Community spirit,
prizes of this kind make an effective contribution to durable relations between women in
Europe,

D. aware of the key futute role of women in society and mindful of the importance thereof at
the beginning of a new century,

E. mindful of the appearance of new attitudes generated by the Community spirit which are
opposed to violence and discrimination and seek the eradication of human exploitation in
its many forms,

F. mindful of the role to be played by women in this new society,

1. Calls for the creation of awards, to be known as 'HELENA Prizes', for women in the
following sectors:

— science and scientific research,

— art and literature,

— industry and commerce,

— human merit;

2. Proposes that each of these prizes should be worth ECU 100 000 and awarded on 8 March
each year (International Women's Day);

3. Proposes that candidates should have their names put forward by official institutions or
organizations and should also be able to put their own names forward;

6. Suggests that a symbolic trophy should be awarded to winners along with the cash prize as
part of an official ceremony chaired by the President of the European Parliament;

N o C ^ ^ O C^Acial]ournalofthe European communities 17.0.91

The President announced that Mr Le Pen had
requested in writing, on behalf of the ER Group, the

Mr Le Pen said that he had presented this request as a
symbolic gesture in order to draw attention to the right
of members to ask for amendments to be put to the
vote separately, a right he claimed had been refused to
his group at the beginning of the vote on the Schwartzenberg report.

The treatment of drug users by means of substitute products such as methadone, which is administered orally,
also prevents HIV transmission via infected needles. This
medical practice should be assessed and given serious
consideration.

In addition to the technical harmonization designed to
guarantee the requisite quality of the condoms available in
the Member States, there is also a need to ensure that they
are as widely available as possible, principally among
homosexuals and prostitutes, in prisons and, more generally, in society as a whole through the installation of
permanently accessible automatic distributors. Appropriate information should also be provided, since condom
use is at present the sole effective means, apart from a
change of life-style, of preventing the sexual transmission

15. Believes that a European economic area should be established as soon as possible with the
countries of the European Free Trade Association, while respecting the Community patrimony,
including its decision-making process;

16. Considers also that the establishment of association agreements with the countries of
Central and Eastern Europe is a -further important step towards the rapprochement of the
European Community and those countries; approves, therefore, the Commission's intention to
propose that 'European accords' be concluded to govern specific areas in which cooperation with
each associated country could be intensified and deepened to the greatest possible degree;

17. Believes also that specific agreements with European countries which do not fall into the
above categories should be established on a case-by-case basis;

III

18. Points put that cooperation within the Council of Europe between Community Member
States and new Council members from Central and Eastern Europe could prove very useful in
the initial stages, in particular for the purpose of upholding human rights; draws attention in this
connection to its earlier recommendation that the Community as such should consider adding a
Declaration of Fundamental Rights to the Treaties and also the option of acceding to the
Council of Europe;

19. Endorses the conclusions of the Commission report on Turkey's application for membership of the Community, while at the same time pointing out that it is in the Community's
interest to maintain stable political and economic relations with Turkey; considers therefore
that, in view of these considerations, the form and content of future relations between the
European Community and Turkey should be defined;

20. Calls on the Commission to draw up a report as soon as possible, and in any case in the
course of this year, on Austria's application for membership of the Community, taking into
account the political and economic circumstances of the country;

21. Refers, with regard to the applications by the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of
Malta to join the Community, to its aforementioned resolutions of 20 May 1988 and 15 September 1988;

22. Regards the prospect of an application for membership from Sweden in a positive light
and calls on the Commission and Council to process such an application as quickly as possible;

IV

23. Considers that the Intergovernmental Conference on Political Union must define the
common foreign and security policy which will combine Member States' interests, taking into
account the political developments in Europe in the light of the CSCE process;

24. Reiterates that the Community patrimony, including European political cooperation
mechanisms, and the objective of European Union must be safeguarded and developed further
in any future process of enlargement and transformation;

25. Considers that an application for accession must be based on a broad national consensus
for the Community to be able to reply favourably to it and to conduct the negotiations in a
climate of serenity and mutual trust;

26. In the perspective of an enlarged Community, calls on the Commission to submit a report
to the European Parliament by 30 June 1992 on the institutional implications of any further
enlargement of the Community;

27. Affirms its resolve to participate in drawing up and implementing the basic principles of
future enlargements of the Community and relations which the Community is expected to
develop with other European countries, in particular through the adoption of a report under the
assent procedure laid down in Articles 237 and 238 of the EEC Treaty;

28. Considers that the European Parliament must hold a debate on the Commission's opinion
on applications under Article 237 and agree to the mandate before official enlargement negotiations begin; procedural rules must be clarified accordingly;

_Unlike other specific programmes this programme does_
_not pursue sectoral objectives through targeted research;_
_its goal is to increase qualitatively and quantitatively the_
_human resources in research and technological develop-_
_ment_ _across_ _the board so as to satisfy the expected_ _needs_ _of_
_the Member States in the coming_ _years._ _This goal will be_
_pursued by increasing the mobility of_ _researchers,_ _espe-_
_cially those at the_ _post-doctoral_ _or equivalent_ _level,_ _across_
_the most advanced_ _research_ _centres in Europe._

_More_ _specifically,_ _the aim is to train, through participa-_
_tion in high level_ _research,_ _about 5 000 researchers over_
_the five_ _years_ _of the programme. A_ _close collaboration_ _with_
_the other Community general training programmes and_
_more specifically those developed by the TFHR through_
_the COMETT and EUROTECNET programmes is as-_

_ing System_

I. Objectives

The central objective of the programme is to help to
increase the human resources available for research and
technological development which will be needed by the
Member States in the coming years, thus assisting the
creation of a European scientific and technical Community. Such action should generate value added for the Community which will benefit all the Member States.

As a contribution towards strengthening human resources
in Central and Eastern European countries, the programme shall be open to participation by these countries.
The expenditure arising from the participation of scientists from those countries in this programme shall be
covered from the funds allocated for cooperation projects
with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

The action should be organized in a transversal manner in
accordance with 'bottom-up' management, focused on two
main aims: the training and mobility of staff and the
formation of networks.

In the pursuit of these objectives account will be taken of
the experience acquired in the current SCIENCE, SPES
and Large-scale Scientific Facilities programmes. The
activities carried out as part of these programmes will be
redirected and developed in accordance with the spirit of
this programme and taking into account its central objective.

The activities will therefore be adapted so that they may
play a more important role in the training and specialization of young European scientists attached to university
laboratories and public or private research institutes.

The present specific programme will be developed by
means of the following activities:

— the development of a Community system of research
fellowships,

— the creation and development of scientific and technical cooperation networks,

— measures to promote the access of researchers to
large-scale scientific and technical facilities,

— the launching of a Community system of 'R&D Euroconferences'.

II. Community activities and their funding

1. The development of a Community system of research
fellowships:

R&TD teams, laboratories or centres of recognized quality
for the training or specialization of researchers, may
receive separately or jointly (in the case of a network),
young scientists in accordance with the procedures described in Annex III.

To this end the Community shall grant financial aid to
specific R&TD teams or laboratories or training networks
consisting of a number of R&TD teams and laboratories
covering a number of Community countries, to allow them
to award research fellowships to researchers who are to
undergo training or specialization there by participating in
R&D work. In general these fellowships, to be known by
the name of a man or a woman who have made an important contribution to the development of European Culture,
will be awarded for a period of two years for researchers at
doctoral or post-doctoral level.

In certain cases and with a view to ensuring a balanced
geographical spread of human resources, the two-year
fellowships may be extended for a further year in order to
enable researchers from less-favoured regions to return to
those regions and to consolidate the knowledge acquired.

The fellowships for established researchers shall last a
number of months (less than one year).

The training of researchers shall consist in their participation in practical research projects carried out in the host
teams or laboratories.

In order to prevent a "brain drain' from the disadvantaged
regions of the Community and to increase the effectiveness
of training, Community financial support may also be
granted to an experienced researcher (whether a university
researcher or not) to enable him to carry out R&D projects
in a centre located in one of the said regions so as to train a
number of young scientists locally.

This experienced researcher or visiting research professor
shall be from a Community country other than that of the
region concerned.

The purpose of this Community system of research fellowships is to complete and enhance the training activities
carried out under other specific programmes, thus making
it possible to build up the European scientific and technical community.

The purpose of the grant is to enable the researcher concerned to cover subsistence and mobility-related expenses.
Special expenditure incurred by the researcher concerned
in the course of publishing the findings of the research
may be reimbursed. The grant also includes a contribution
to the research expenses in the host laboratory and the
expenses incurred by the laboratory in administering the
grant. If the researcher receiving the grant is a scientist
from an industrial firm seconded to a public research laboratory in another Community country, the amount of the
grant shall be limited to covering the incidental expenses
arising from his secondment and a contribution to research
expenditure in the host laboratory.

2. Assistance for the creation and development of scientific and technical cooperation networks

The scientific and technical cooperation networks shall
consist of at least five research laboratories or teams in at
least three Community countries working jointly on one or
more R&D projects.

The networks shall consist of both public and private
research laboratories and teams in the Member States, to
enable the best of them to exert as much influence as
possible for the benefit of all the others. In particular, they
shall encourage the interaction of different disciplines, the
combining of various technologies and the application of
techniques from one field in other fields.

If the innovative or complex nature of a scientific area so
requires, encouragement shall be given to the setting-up of
new networks consisting of research teams or laboratories
with additional capacity.

In order to assist the consolidation and development of
scientific and technical cooperation networks, Community
funding shall cover expenses incurred in engaging researchers outside the network needed to complete the
research project, incidental costs resulting from international cooperation (travel, accommodation and joint
meetings), a contribution to research expenditure
(experimental products, special purchases and the use of
large-scale facilities if required) and administrative costs.

If a researcher trained under this programme sets up a new
research team in a disadvantaged region of the Community, Community aid may include funds to equip the team if
it joins a scientific and technical cooperation network supported by the Community.

This specific programme will pursue and further develop
the activities already being carried out under the
SCIENCE and SPES programmes, including them into a
broader activity and giving them a new direction, in order
to take into account the principal objective of this specific
programme. The SPES action will be expanded to include
the human and social sciences.

3. Establishment of access to large-scale scientific and
technical facilities

The purpose of this activity is to promote access for Community researchers to large-scale scientific and/or technical facilities of great importance already existing in the
Community. In particular, it will be geared to increasing
the training opportunities offered to European researchers
by enabling them to become familiar with the use of such
facilities in the execution of research projects.

A 'large-scale facility' is understood as being an establishment which requires substantial initial investment or a
group of smaller establishments which have complementary capacities.

The Community financial aid granted to selected facilities
will be designed to cover the costs arising from giving new
scientists access to them (travel, subsistence expenses and
user fees).

The aid will not be granted to purchase standard equipment or construct infrastructure.

4. Euroconferences

The aim of this activity is to enable young scientists to take
part in especially important high-level conferences —
meetings of scientists on subjects at the cutting edge of
scientific or technical knowledge, at which specialists present and discuss their work and ideas.

Participation in such conferences will enable promising
young scientists to keep up to date with the advance of
knowledge in a particular field.

The Community's financial support will cover the participation expenses (registration, travel and subsistence) of
young scientists attending the conferences, with priority
being given to those from less-favoured regions.

III. Scientific and technological sectors

By virtue of its horizontal nature, the present programme
will cover all scientific and technological sectors. Thus it
may in particular deal with strategic projects and projects

drawn up in connection with the research sectors referred
to in the first five activities mentioned in Article 1 of the
third Framework Programme which are specified in
Annex II thereto.

Nevertheless, the training measures carried out under this
programme shall not be directly determined by the objectives of other specific programmes. This means that, in the
sectors covered by the other specific programmes, measures may be carried out under this programme, but such
measures must be in addition to the targeted training
carried out under the specific programmes themselves and
any duplication of effort must be avoided.

In accordance with the open nature of the programme, the
subjects to be included in basic research in the exact and
natural sciences, including mathematics, will not be
defined 'a priori'.

With regard to the social and human sciences, the programme shall essentially deal with training in projects
likely to improve or enhance European competitiveness,
and bring about sustainable economic development, in
fields such as the economic and management sciences
including environmental economics as well as the interfaces between science, technology and society. Attention
shall also be given to problems connected with the general
public's understanding and acceptance and the social
monitoring of science and technology.

II. SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL COOPERATION

NETWORKS

The participants in scientific and technical development
actions are networks of research laboratories undertaking
joint research and development work. The number of
Member States taking part in each network should be as
high as possible. In no case should a network have fewer
than five public or private laboratories from a minimum of
three Member States. The association of recognized highquality laboratories and promising laboratories situated in
the less-favoured regions of the Community will be particularly sought. It will allow researchers working in isolation in an advanced area to unite their efforts.

The selection of proposals shall be made in the form of a
call for proposals which shall be open continuously. It
shall be made by the Commission in agreement with the
Programme Committee.

III. ACCESS TO LARGE-SCALE FACILITIES

The participants in the actions planned to favour access for
researchers to large-scale facilities in the Community are
those organizations having such facilities at their disposal
or a group of smaller facilities which together have the
capacity of a large-scale facility.

Community aid may be granted to scientists wishing to
have access to the facilities for whom travel, subsistence
and cost of using the equipment will be covered.

The selection procedure for choosing organizations shall
comprise two successive calls for proposals which will be
published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

The first call for proposals shall be addressed to centres
having large-scale scientific and technical facilities at
their disposal. The proposals received in response shall be
accompanied by expressions of interest from potential

users.

The selection of proposals shall be made by the Commission assisted by the Committee cited in Article 6(1).

The second call for proposals shall be published with the
list of organizations pre-selected according to the previous
procedure; it will aim to obtain joint equipment-user proposals.

The final selection shall be made by the Commission with
the help of the Committee cited in Article 6(1).

The extent of Community support will be based on the
quality and unique features of the facility; interest shown
by potential users; cost/benefit ratio of Community support; value for the Community in terms of importance of
the facility in respect of the Community's overall scientific
and technical potential.

— having regard to the outcome of the trialogue of 2 May 1991,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets and the opinion of the Political
Affairs Committee (A3-0131/91),

A. whereas new requirements have emerged since, the 1991 budget was adopted, some of which
are of a particularly urgent nature, and whereas, therefore, it is necessary to enter the
necessary appropriations in the Community budget for 1991 as soon as possible in order to
implement the measures decided on by the Community,

B. whereas these measures cannot be funded within the current limits set by the financial
perspective,

C. whereas the negotiations on the revision of the financial perspective for 1992 have not yet
been completed,

1. Gives its approval for the NCE sub-ceiling in category 4 of the financial perspective to be
raised as indicated in the joint decision attached to this resolution, by ECU 728 million in
respect of commitment appropriations and ECU 423 million in respect of payment appropriations in 1991, and ECU 180 million in respect of payment appropriations for 1992, and for the
stock disposal line in heading 5 to be reduced by ECU 3 million, the ceiling for this heading
remaining unchanged;

2 Requests that as agreed between the three Institutions at the conciliation meeting on
5 March 1991, the Council, before taking decisions of principle on possible new external aid
measures, should contact Parliament in accordance with a procedure corresponding to the
urgency of the decisions and that the appropriations which may be necessary should be determined through this procedure;

3. Points out that the funding of new external aid granted by the Community must in no way
lead to a reduction of the appropriations for policies already adopted by the Community and
that the appropriations for internal policies should be increased in 1992 in view of the completion of the single market;

_As_ _regards_ _assistance to the USSR:_

4 Expresses its approval of this technical assistance and recalls the need for the Community
to assist the reform process in the USSR; emphasizes, however, that progress towards democracy
must be a condition of the continuation of the technical assistance programme;

_As_ _regards_ _assistance to Israel and the Occupied Territories:_

5. Expresses its approval of financial assistance to Israel and the occupied territories, but

aid, thereby responding to Parliament's concern that the Community should take speedy action;

_As_ _regards_ _the fight against famine in Africa:_

7. Draws attention to the agreement between the three Institutions on implementation of a
programme to combat famine in Africa, thereby implementing Parliament's resolution of
18 April 1991;

8. Recalls that the agreement of the three Institutions for this programme provides for
400 000 tonnes of cereals equivalent to be supplied to the people affected by the famine; if the
appropriations entered for this purpose were to prove insufficient, a further revision of the
financial perspective would be necessary;

_as_ _regards subsequent_ _procedure:_

9. Regrets the Council's refusal to endorse the proposal by the Commission and Parliament
for the setting up of a reserve fund to cover unexpected contingencies;

10. Calls on the Commission to submit proposals to the budgetary authority for exceptional
financial aid to both Bangladesh and the Latin American countries affected by the cholera
epidemic;

11. Expresses its willingness to reach a common decision with the Council on this subject, in
the spirit of the mutual undertakings made at the conciliation meeting on 5 March 1991;

12. Welcomes the Commission's undertaking to submit a quarterly report to the budgetary
authority on the implementation of all these programmes, and recalls that the first of these
reports must be submitted by 15 September 1991;

13. Notes that, at current levels, the estimated requirements in respect of both internal and
external policies will inevitably entail an increase in the financial perspective for 1992;

14. Regrets that the Council was not able to conclude the negotiations on the revision of the
financial perspective for 1992, but welcomes its undertaking to conclude these negotiations
before Parliament's first reading of the draft budget for 1992;

15. Gives its agreement for the financial perspective to be adjusted, in accordance with
Articles 10 and 11 of the Interinstitutional Agreement, in respect of the following amounts: in
Category 2, the ceiling for commitment appropriations for non-compulsory expenditure is
increased by ECU 350 million in 1992, and in Category 3, by ECU 115 million, as specified in
the decision annexed to this resolution;

16. Agrees that, taking account of cancellations of appropriations in 1990, the budget of the
Structural Funds for 1993 must provide for an amount of ECU 193 million in commitment
appropriations, and for the same purpose commitment appropriations amounting to ECU 30
millions must be budgeted during a subsequent financial year for the framework research
programme; in addition, with regard to the Structural Funds, the Commission must make the
necessary technical adjustments to ensure their effective doubling by 1993 in order to take
account of real rates of inflation during the period 1987-1993;

17. Recalls that Article 9 of the Interinstitutional Agreement requires the Commission to
update the financial perspective each year in line with movements in prices _and_ gross national
product; takes the view that the technical adjustment must take into account, for all categories of
expenditure in the financial perspective, the real trend in inflation and movements in the
volume of GNP;

18. Reiterates its integration of Article 12 of the Interinstitutional Agreement, on the basis of
' which the financial perspective may be revised provided that the overall ceiling does not exceed
the margin of 1,19% of GNP in 1991 and 1,2% in 1992 and therefore deplores the Council's
unilateral decision;

                                 

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

MINUTES OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING OF THURSDAY, 16 MAY 1991

(91/C 158/04)

PART I

Proceedings of the sitting

IN THE CHAIR: MRS PERY

_Vice-President_

_(The sitting was opened at_ _10.05_ _a.m.)_

1. Approval of minutes 4. Documents received

The following spoke:

— Mr Verhagen who, referring to his remarks about
the sending of observers to the elections in Surinam
_(part I, after item 4),_ asked when the Bureau would be
taking a decision on this matter if it was indeed going
to take one (the President replied that this matter
would be looked into);

— Mr von Wechmar, on the previous day's Question
Time, during which 17 questions were put to the Commission, all with the same title, with the request for
separate replies to each, which had meant that a large
number of other questions on the agenda had not
received a reply. He asked the Bureau to examine the
possibility of grouping replies together in response to
groups of questions on the same topic, and also the
possibility of extending Question Time when there was
a large number of questions (the President replied that
she would refer this matter to the Enlarged Bureau);

— Mr Cassidy, who had wanted to make the same
point and therefore withdrew.

The minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

2. Authorization to draw up reports

The Enlarged Bureau authorized the Legal Affairs
Committee to draw up a report on the transparency of
Community legislation and the need for it to be consolidated.

3. Referral to committee

As the report which the Committee on Social Affairs
had been authorized to draw up on the European
labour market after 1992 would be divided into several
separate themes, it would be referred for opinions to
the Committees on Economic Affairs, Legal Affairs,
Regional Policy, Youth and Women's Rights.

(Colino Salamanca report — A 3-0104/91)

The following spoke:

— Mrs Jackson, who noted that the Commission had
submitted a directive the previous afternoon banning

advertising on tobacco and that certain proposals for
regulations on tobacco prices, on which Parliament was
to vote now, seemed to be incompatible with this directive; she therefore asked the Commission to withdraw
its proposals and present new ones (the President
replied that it was up to the chairman of the Committee
on Agriculture or of the rapporteur to make such a
request);

— Mr Colino Salamanca, _Chairman of the Committee_
_on Agriculture,_ on Mrs Jackson's remarks;

— Mr von der Vring, _Chairman of the Committee on_
_Budgets,_ who, referring to paragraph 2 of the interinstitutional agreement, said that Parliament was obliged to
respect the agricultural budgetary guideline and that
there was a risk of this guideline being exceeded. He
asked the Commission whether its guidelines on the
costs of the proposed measures and its calculations on
the budgetary line were still valid;

— Mr Colino Salamanca, in reply, who said it would
only be possible to predict what the expenditure would
be once the amendments were adopted;

— Mr Happart, who asked each political group to
give a clear declaration of its intention to respect the
budgetary guideline;

— Mr Navarro, who also asked whether the figures
provided by the Commission were correct;

— Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf, on behalf of the Green
Group, who said it was fundamental that Parliament
should vote responsibly on the amendments and it was
only then that it should consider the budgetary implications of adopting them;

— Mr Pasty, on behalf of the EDA Group, who supported the suggestion and condemned the 'tyranny of
the budgetary guideline';

— Mr von der Vring, who stressed that the Committee on Budgets had the right to be informed before
the vote;

— Mr MacSharry, _Member of the Commission,_ who
confirmed that the Commission's figures were still
valid.

_VOTE_

The President announced that the ER Group had withdrawn all its requests for RCVs.

The following spoke: the rapporteur, on the amendments, and Mrs Domingo Segarra, on the previous
speaker's remarks.

Amendments adopted: 1 to 4 en bloc, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
(first part), 11;

Amendments rejected: 186, 263 by electronic vote, 168
(2nd part), 317, 307, 10 (second part by electronic
vote);

Amendments fallen: 168 (first part, corresponding to
amendment 6), 264.

A split vote was held on amendment 10 at the request
of the ED Group:

first part: paragraph 1

second part: remainder.

The rapporteur pointed out that, since the first part of
amendment 10 had been adopted, amendment 264 had
fallen.

Parliament approved the Commission proposal as
amended _(part II, item 1)._

— _draft_ _legislative_ _resolution:_

Parliament adopted the legislative resolution _(part II,_
_item 1)._

—
_proposal for a regulation 2:_

Amendment rejected: 12 by electronic vote.

Parliament approved the Commission proposal _(part_
_11,_ _item 1)._

— _draft_ _legislative_ _resolution:_

Parliament adopted the legislative resolution _(part II,_

—
_proposal for a regulation 3:_

Amendments adopted: 13 and 14 en bloc, 15, 18, 19,
190, 21 by electronic vote, 191;

Amendments rejected: 156, 16, 157, 290 by electronic
vote, 17, 20, 158, 289 by electronic vote.

Mr Lamassoure, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, suggested limiting the voting on amendments from
the Committee on Budgets to NQS 190 and 191 and to
consider the result applicable to all amendments tabled
by the Committee on Budgets to other Commission
proposals, as these amendments were identical to the
two presently being considered.

The rapporteur agreed to this procedure.

Parliament rejected the Commission proposal by elec
tronic vote.

Mr MacSharry, _Member of the Commission,_ said that he
would not withdraw the proposal.

Pursuant to Rule 39 (3) Parliament referred the matter
back to the committee responsible, without voting on
the draft legislative resolution.

_proposal for a regulation 4 :_

Amendments adopted: 296 by electronic vote, 265 by
electronic vote, 23, 192, 267 by RCV (EPP), 193;

Amendments rejected: 159, 22 by electronic vote, 24,

RCV (EPP), 184 by RCV (LU), 167 by RCV (EDA);

Amendment fallen: 166 (second part).

Mr Chanterie, on behalf of the EPP Group, pointed out
that although Parliament had adopted amendments 190
and 191, the decision on which Mr Lamassoure said
was applicable to all amendments by the Committee on
Budgets, the Commission's proposal had nevertheless
been rejected. It was therefore necessary to put amendments 192 and 193 to the vote in order to confirm the
previous vote (the President endorsed this point).

A split vote was held on amendment 166 (LDR):

first part: first sentence

second part: second sentence.

TEXT AMENDED
BY THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

(Amendment No 50)

_Fourth recital_

Whereas the price of sugar and the price of beet applicable in Spain are significantly higher than the common
prices; whereas the analysis of the development of prices
after the first five marketing years following accession,
carried out in accordance with Article 70(3)(b) of the Act
on the basis of an opinion from the Commission, shows
that it is necessary in the first instance to prolong the
period of moves towards price alignment _until_ _1_ _July_
_1995_ so the aforementioned variations can be absorbed
over _a period of five marketing_ _years,_ a sufficiently long
period to prevent farmers, in particular, being affected by
a too swift drop in beet prices; whereas, however, the
system of production quotas is applicable only for the
1991/92 and 1992/93 marketing years; whereas the
prices of sugar and beet are to some extent linked to the
existence of quotas; whereas provision should therefore
be made for a move towards price alignment in two
stages, the first stage ending 30 June 1993; with regard to
the second stage _covering the 1993/94, 1994/95 and_
_1995/96 marketing years,_ the conditions for the moves
towards alignment Of the Spanish prices on the common
prices should be determined particularly in the light of
the production arrangements to be applied from 1 July
1993 in this sector, the Community's international commitments and their specific implications for Spain;

(Amendment No 51)

provide for accompanying measures — including cofinancing by the Community — to allow the sector to carry
out the necessary adjustment investments to reach a suitable level of competitiveness;

TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION

TEXT AMENDED

(Amendment No 103)

_Recital -1 (new)_

Whereas the quota system for the dairy sector needs to be
strengthened, as from the 1992/93 marketing year, in
accordance w ith the proposals put forward on several occasions by the European Parliament; whereas the Council
must accordingly take decisions in good time and in close
cooperation with the European Parliament on the future
scheme;

(Amendment No 104)

_Second recital_

Whereas the market in milk and milk products _is in_
_persistent surplus owing to a reduction in the export out-_
_lets available and_ _a_ _steady drop in consumption of certain_
_milk products in the Community; whereas to meet the_
_imperative need of attaining some degree of balance_
_between supply and demand the abovementioned guaran-_
_teed total quantities should be reduced by 2%; whereas_
_consistency demands that the quantities set for 1991/92 at_
_(f) in the third_ _subparagraph_ _of Article_ _5c(3)_ _of Regulation_
_(EEC) No 804/68 be_ _reduced_ _by_ _2%_ _of the basic quantities_
_set under the terms of the second subparagraph of that_
_provision;_ _whereas_ _the principle of common market_ _organ-_
_ization is constant adjustment in line with the changing_
_economic position for the sector; whereas this further_
_reduction must accordingly apply in all Member States_
_and all_ _producers concerned_ _must contribute equally to the_
_effort of solidarity required;_

Whereas the market in milk and milk products, after a
period when stocks were at their lowest levels for many
years, is now once again in surplus; whereas this situation
is caused in particular by a combination of external and
exceptional circumstances; whereas in order to guarantee
the agricultural community concerned a reasonable standard of living, it is therefore essential to maintain the
quantities set for 1991/92 at (0 in the third subparagraph
of Article 5c(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68; whereas
given the structure of production — many farmers without
an heir would willingly give up milk production if there
were a suitable buy-back offer, whereas others would find
their development prospects impaired by a linear reduction
— it is advisable to allow Member States to carry out a
buy-back campaign until 31 March 1992;

(Amendment No 105)

_Recital 2a (new)_

Whereas in order to allow young farmers to establish
themselves and to prevent abuses which would be detrimental to producers in priority categories, regional bodies
(made up of members of professional associations and
public authorities) should be responsible for managing the
market in quotas according to regional needs;

TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION

(Amendment No 111)

_Recital la (new)_

TEXT AMENDED
BY THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

Whereas, in order to curtail the over-intensive use of land,
a restriction, expressed as the number of adult bovine
animals per hectare, should be introduced, so that the
more intensive use of land does not lead to increasing areas
of pasture being switched to the cultivation of other surplus products; whereas a ceiling, expressed in terms of the
number of adult bovine animals per hectare of green fodder, and which might vary from region to region, should be
imposed on production; whereas, should the ceiling be
exceeded, a levy would be imposed;

(Amendment No 112)

_Second recital_

Whereas, _in the light of experience,_ the fixation of a
ceiling has not achieved its aim which was to define the
maximum quantity of products to be bought in in order
to support the market without the need to open the socalled 'safety net' regime; whereas, therefore, it _seems_
_suitable to delete_ the reference to an annual overall quantity not to be exceeded; whereas, _nevertheless,_ in the
management of the intervention scheme, special regional
market circumstances will be taken into account;

Whereas, as a result of external and exceptional circumstances in 1990 which caused severe disruption in the beef
and veal sector, the fixation of a ceiling has not achieved
its aim which was to define the maximum quantity of
products to be bought-in in order to support the market
without the need to open the so-called 'safety net' regime;
whereas, therefore, it would be desirable to retain the
reference to an annual overall quantity not to be
exceeded; whereas in the management of the intervention scheme, special regional market circumstances will
continue to be taken into account;

(Amendment No 113)

_Fourth recital_

_Whereas it_ _appears_ _from past experience that the safety_
_net regime was not able either to keep the quantities for_
_which bids were made under control or to guarantee that_
_the fixed buying-in price is passed back to the breeder;_
_whereas,_ _in addition, this system is too beneficial and_ _does_
_not_ _therefore encourage_ _sufficiently all_ _efforts_ _to find other_
_outlets for the beef_ _whereas,_ _for this purpose, this sytem_
_should be abandoned._

Africa, especially in Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Mozambique, Liberia and Angola,

D. having regard to the appeal by the Secretary-General of the UN on Friday, 10 May 1991 for
emergency aid to Africa in order to prevent the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives,

E. whereas the international community and the European Community in particular must
respond immediately and effectively to this appeal for help, as it did in 1986 when it
launched the 'Dublin plan' which provided emergency food aid to the people affected by
drought and famine,

NoC 158/240 Official Journal of the European Communities 17.6.91

Thursday, 16 May 1991

F. noting that the famine in Ethiopia is not only the result of weather conditions but is mainly a
direct consequence of the bloody civil war which has been raging there for thirty years and of
the resulting political instability,

G. whereas in those regions in which armed conflicts are going on (practically the whole of the
north of the country) serious human rights violations are being committed against the
civilian population both by rebels and by the regular army, including summary executions,
pillage, rape, confiscation of property, forced conscription, etc.,

H. appalled by the threat of famine to over 7 million people in the Sudan which is largely the
result of civil war and of the deliberate policy of the Sudanese military government which
has blocked the provision of food and medical aid to the threatened people and has harassed
the humanitarian organizations which are trying to provide it,

I. believing that such a policy, if persisted in, will amount to genocide,

J. whereas, although emergency aid must be provided in emergency situations, it is also
essential to take practical measures to tackle the spiral of structural poverty affecting Africa,
the falling prices of raw materials and the extremely stringent constraints linked to debt
repayment,

K. having regard to the Commission communication concerning a special food aid programme
for Africa which involves further resources for 1991 to implement the emergency plan for
Africa,

1. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to respond immediately to the appeal of
the UN Secretary General and humanitarian organizations for massive aid commensurate with
needs;

2. Calls on the Council to adopt as a matter of urgency the measures proposed by the
Commission in its communication of 19 April 1991;

3. Calls on the Council to adopt the amendment to the financial perspective as submitted by
the Commission;

4. Expresses its appreciation of the relief work already being done by aid charities and
Commission officials in extremely difficult circumstances;

5. Calls for emergency aid to be sent out rapidly through the NGOs already working in the
area so as to ensure that food reaches the people in need;

6. Calls upon the Council to use every available diplomatic means to secure the fullest
possible cooperation from governments and public authorities in the countries affected by the
crisis;

7. Considers that the generous aid allocations for the USSR and other third countries should
not result in the Community neglecting its legal obligations concerning other Community
policies, particularly aid to underdeveloped countries;

_As_ _regards_ _Sudan:_

8. Condemns the projected use of famine and of chemical weapons by the Sudanese Government as an abominable crime;

9. Calls on the Member States of the Community to give a political lead by insisting that the
situation in Southern Sudan is comparable to that in Northern Iraq and requires emergency
international action, even against the wishes of the Sudanese Government;

10. Calls on Governments of Member States to make available transport planes for the
distribution of food and of seed for planting in areas controlled by the rebels;

8. Completing the internal market

— A3-0102/91

RESOLUTION

on completing the internal market: an area without internal frontiers

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to the Commission's progress report 'completing the internal market' of 23
November 1990 ('),

— having regard to Rule 121 of the Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to its resolution of 13 May 1987 on the communication from the Commission
entitled 'Making a success of the Single Act — A new frontier for Europe ( [2] ),

— having regard to the Albert-Ball, Cecchini, Padoa-Schioppa and Mimosa reports ( [3] ),

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and
Industrial Policy (A3-0102/91),

1. Notes that the new procedure introduced by the Single European Act has considerably
speeded up the process of Community legislation. As a result, 70% of the decisions required for
the completion of the single market have now been adopted by the Council of Ministers. In the
Member States, 70% of these directives have already been incorporated into national legislation;

2. Notes that 32% of the amendments adopted by the European Parliament at second reading
have been taken up by the Commission and the Council and included in the final text of the
directives;

3. Notes that a first step towards the democratization of Community legislation has thus been
taken, within the limited areas to which the new procedure applies;

4. Expressly calls, however, for the European Parliament's rights of participation to be
strengthened and extended to other fields;

5. Notes with great concern that serious backlogs exist in those areas to which the old
unanimity procedure still applies. This is particularly so in the fields of taxation, internal
security and the social dimension of completion of the single market;

adverse impact on certain sections ofthe population ofcompletionofthe internal market and of
the abolition of the community's internal frontiers^

lo. Notes that completion ofthe single market has already led to the creation of new jobs and
that this should be regarded as an important contribution to completion ofthe social dimension
of the single markets acknowledges^ however thatasignificant proportion of this additional
employment consists of atypical jobs and thataCommunity framework limiting and regulating
such types ofemployment is necessary in order to prevent certain groups ofworkers from being
subject to precarious conditions and remunerations

17. Urges that the conditions should be created for the pursuit ofacommon employment

9. Protocol on privileges and immunities

— B3-0733/91

RESOLUTION

on the system of immunity for Members of the European Parliament

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to its previous resolutions on the application of the Protocol on Privileges and
Immunities,

A. having regard to the absence of a common system of immunity for Members of the
European Parliament and the reference by the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities to the
law of individual Member States,

B. whereas the resulting disparities place the Members of the European Parliament in a
position of inequality and adversely affect the legal certainty of the court proceedings in v
which they may be involved,

C. deploring the fact that the efforts undertaken with a view to the revision of the Protocol on
the Privileges and Immunities with regard to the Members of the European Parliament have
remained a dead letter despite its opinion of 10 March 1987 ('),

D. mindful of the fact that it is impossible for it to be competent to judge matters which are the
province of national law,

1. Calls on the Member States to ensure that a common system of European parliamentary
immunity is established at the earliest opportunity;

2. Requests for the time being, in order to simplify its work in this matter, that each Member
State should send it a memorandum containing:
— a limitative list of persons who may request it to waive the immunity of one of its Members,

— a description of the procedures followed for this purpose in conformity with the provisions
of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities, with particular regard to preliminary investigations or any proceedings prior to the request,
— information about any legal remedy under national law against such procedures;

3. Hopes that the national authorities responsible for this matter will keep it informed about
action taken on its decisions concerning the waiving of immunity;

4. Reserves the right, if the information set out above is not forthcoming, to take the
appropriate measures on the basis of its powers;

5 Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the governments of the Member States,
the President of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, the Council and the
Commission.

NoC 158/284 Official Journal of the European Communities 17.6.91

MINUTES OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING OF FRIDAY, 17 MAY 1991

(91/C 158/05)

PART I

Proceedings of the sitting

IN THE CHAIR: MR GALLAND

_Vice-President_

_(The sitting was opened at 9 a.m.)_

1. Approval of minutes

The following spoke:

— Mr von Wogau, who, referring to the split vote on
Article 2 (2) of the common position on the control of
the acquisition and possession of weapons (A 3-0060/
91) _(part I, item 18 of minutes of 15 May 1991),_ which
had amended the common position, presented three
questions which he wished to have referred to the Committee on the Rules of Procedure:

was a simple majority sufficient for such a vote or was
it necessary to have a qualifed majority of 260 votes?

would it not be a good idea, for requests for a split
vote, which were in effect amendments, to set a deadline for submitting them in order to allow all the implications of these requests to be studied (he also believed
split votes should not be allowed on common positions)?

if the Committee on the Rules of Procedure concluded
that the majority of members (260 votes) was necessary
for this vote the minutes would have to be amended as

a result.

(The President replied that he would refer this matter to
the Committee on the Rules of Procedure to find out if
it was possible to hold a split vote on common positions, whether a simple or qualified majority was necessary and whether a deadline for tabling requests for
split votes should not be introduced. He could not
however make predictions about how the opinion of
the committee would influence the vote held on
Wednesday);

— Mrs Crawley, on a by-election in Great Britain (the
President cut her off as this matter was not on the
agenda);

— Mrs Banotti, who said that the following day was
the 'day against animal experimentation' and asked
Parliament to support this cause;

— Mr Bettini, who wished to support the previous
speaker's remarks (the President would not allow him
to speak as this matter was not on the agenda either).

The minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

2. Deadline for tabling amendments

The President informed Parliament that, following the
rejection of proposals for regulations 3 (creals) and 52
(nut and locust bean sector) in the vote on the Colino
Salamanca report on agricultural prices (A 3-0104/91),
the Committee on Agriculture had set the deadline for
tabling amendments to these two proposals for Thursday, 23 May.

3. Procedure without report *

The next item was the vote on the following proposals
under the procedure without report, pursuant to Rule
116:

— proposal for a regulation on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (SEC(91) 0268 — C 30182/91)

which had been referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development.

The proposal was approved _(part II, item 1 (a));_

— a proposal for a decision concluding the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Elbe (COM(91) 0078 — C 3-0194/91)

which had been referred to the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection.

The proposal was approved _(part II, item 1 (b))._

4. Social action programme (vote)

(motions for resolutions B 3-0734 and 0735/91)

RESOLUTION

on the implementation of the Social Action Programme

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to the draft Treaty of 14 February 1984,

— having regard to its resolutions of 22 November 1989 on a Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights — Social and economic cohesion (') and its resolution of 22 November
1990 on the Intergovernmental Conferences in the context of the European Parliament's
strategy for European Union ( [2] ) and the final declaration of the Conference of EC Parliaments in Rome from 27 to 30 November 1990,

A. whereas the strengthening of Community powers in the social field will make it possible to
improve the living and working conditions of European citizens,

B. whereas this aim is to be achieved through the reform of the Treaty of Rome and the Single
Act,

1. Notes the Commission's proposal and observes that the proposed legislative reforms fall a
long way short of the ambitions set out in the explanatory memorandum;

2. Reiterates that the reform of the Treaty of Rome and the Single Act must ensure that
Community social policy and economic and monetary policy are indissociable, in order to
guarantee a balance between economic development and social progress and ensure genuine
economic and social cohesion;

3 Believes that the role of the two sides of industry should be reinforced and that greater use
should be made of Article 118b of the EEC Treaty to achieve concrete agreements at Community
level; also takes the view, however, that there must be no overlapping between the functions of
the EC institutions and those of the two sides of industry, and that the Commission cannot share
its right of initiative _de facto_ with the lobbies;

Friday, 17 May 1991

4. Considers that the European Parliament, as an elected democratic institution, must take an
active part in the Community's decision-making process; in this connection, demands that
Parliament be granted powers of co-decision with the Council, acting by a qualified majority, as
called for in its resolutions of 14 March 1990 on the Intergovernmental Conference in the
context of Parliament's strategy for European Union (') and 22 November 1990 on strengthening Parliament's powers of budgetary control in the context of Parliament's strategy for European Union ( [2] );

5. Deems it right that social policy as a whole should be dealt with through an improved
cooperation procedure, having due regard to the subsidiarity principle as in other fields;

6. Calls for the prompt implementation of the Social Action Programme and hence for
conciliation between the Commission, the Council and Parliament, and calls for an interinstitutional conference between the Council, Parliament (Committee on Social Affairs) and the
Commission on the implementation of the Social Action Programme to begin no later than
30 June 1991, in order to reach an agreement on more effective exchanges of information,
priorities and the work schedule, and instructs its President to undertake the necessary initiatives;

7. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the
Intergovernmental Conference.

NoC 158/294 Official Journal of the European Communities 17.6.91

Friday, 17 May 1991

O. whereas the spread of Islamic fundamentalism, the continuing endemic nature of the
Arab-Israeli conflict, the spread of conflict between different nationalities and groupings,
and the aggregate effects of growing ecological problems, economic dependence, debt, the
continued existence of regimes of various political shades unsympathetic to the development of democracy and human rights, unemployment, the population explosion and
increasing migration have greatly exacerbated the political and social destabilization of the
whole Southern and South-Eastern Mediterranean,

P. whereas the European Community forms the most important political and economic unit in
the Mediterranean, and consequently carries a special responsibility for the region,

Q. whereas the European Community has vital interests of every kind in the Mediterranean, in
particular cultural, ecological, economic and security interests, and consequently has a
legitimate concern to participate in and promote developments in the region,

R. takes the view that the recent initiative by four Member States of the European Community
and five Mediterranean third countries to meet annually at the highest level for consultation
on matters of joint interest and to promote cooperation in the Mediterranean can make a
decisive contribution to solving the problems of this area, and that it should therefore be
widened to include all the Community Member States in the Mediterranean, and could be
usefully extended to all the countries on the Mediterranean seaboard;

S. whereas the external policy of the Member States of the European Community, including its
Mediterranean policy, is still not being fully coordinated,

T. whereas, now that an end has been put to East-West confrontation, security policy must be
based more fundamentally on cooperation and confidence building: whereas consequently
the basis has been laid for working more intensively on resolving the problems that pose a
threat to security in the Mediterranean by means of coordinated action by all countries
concerned in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East,

U. whereas the United Nations could play a more effective part in safeguarding peace and
promoting justice between nations,

_Principles of a common Mediterranean policy_

1. Stresses, as a matter of priority, the need for an active and consistent European Community policy for the Mediterranean, a policy that must be based on a significant extension of
cooperation and consultation between the Community and non-EEC Mediterranean countries
(NEMCs);

2. Calls for an intensification of the Euro-Arab dialogue, with not only development and

dispute over C^yprus),the^earEast (Arab-Israeli conflict,thePalestinianquestion and the

causes of conflict in the regions concerned to facilitate efforts to find prompt solutions;

thereby laying a long-term foundation for the prevention of conflict, peaceful resolution of
conflicts and cooperation in the Mediterranean;

27. Would welcome it if, in addition to the Mediterranean seaboard countries, other countries
party to the CSCE, together with interested countries from the Near East (including a legitimate
representation of the Palestinian people), were to take part in the CSCM process;

28. Also considers it appropriate for a European Community representation to take part in
the CSCM;

29. Takes the view that the although the CSCE can help to lay down guidelines for the CSCM,
the approaches and methods of the CSCE should not be imitated to the letter in relation to the
Mediterranean, since the causes and limiting conditions of the conflicts in that region differ
substantially in many respects from the CSCE frame of reference;

30. Takes the view that a CSCM can lead to a binding agreement between the participant
countries in the following areas:

(a) Security (in accordance with basic principles of international coexistence, including the
inviolability of internationally recognized frontiers unless mutual agreement is reached to
change them, renunciation of the use of force, recognition of sovereignty, non-intervention
in internal affairs, disarmament and arms control, security-enhancing and confidencebuilding measures, measures to combat terrorism),

(b) Cooperation (development and diversification of economic relations, industrial and technological cooperation, financial cooperation and support measures, energy and environment),

(c) Interpersonal and social aspects, in particular respect for fundamental and human rights, the
postulate of democracy, cultural dialogue and religious toleration, problems of immigration;

7. 6. 91 Official Jpurnal of the European Communities No C 158/297

31. Also advocates that in the CSCM framework a centre for the prevention of conflict should
be set up to serve as a platform for coordinating and monitoring the implementation of
confidence-building and security-enhancing measures, and that political efforts should be made
in the area of conflict prevention, and talks held on measures to de-escalate conflicts in crisis
situations;

32. Takes the view that cooperation within regional sub-groups of the Mediterranean
(e.g. Western Mediterranean, Eastern Mediterranean, EC Mediterranean countries) could form
an appropriate extension to the CSCM process on matters of joint interest, and that it would be
appropriate in that connection for special conferences to be held on a restricted and specific
basis;

33. Calls on the Foreign Ministers meeting in European Political Cooperation to give their
full and active support to measures to convene a CSCM and to develop it further as a Community endeavour;

Whereas the Member States, in a joint declaration

— recall that the fundamental objectives of the European
Economic Community comprise the constant improvement of living and working conditions of the peoples of
the Member States and the harmonious development
of their economies by reducing the variation between
the different regions and the backwardness of the
less-favoured regions;

— note the fact that the Government of the Portuguese
Republic and the authorities of the autonomous
regions of the Azores and Madeira are pursuing an
economic and social development policy the object of
which is to overcome the handicaps of these regions,
which arise from their geographical situation, far
away from the mainland of Europe, their physical
geographical features, the serious deficiency of infrastructures and their economic backwardness;

— recognize that it is in their common interest that the
final objectives set by this policy be attained and recall
that specific provisions concerning the autonomous
regions of the Azores and Madeira had been adopted
in the instruments of accession through specific derogations in the application of Community policies;

— agree to recommend to this end that the Community
institutions devote special attention to the realization
of the above objectives;

Whereas Europe, whose civilization is firmly based in
ecumenical universalist historical tradition, needs to improve the means at its disposal to enable it to form closer
contacts with other continents;

(Amendment No 5)

_Recital 3b (new)_

Whereas the Single Market must not close Europe in on
itself, but on the contrary must be seen as a new means of
opening Europe up to other cultures and continents and it
is therefore necessary to adopt specific amendments in
respect of the various Community policies when applied to
regions located in a strategic position between continents;

(Amendment No 6)

_Recital 3c (new)_

Whereas owing to their proximity to other continents the
Azores and Madeira are strategically placed to play an
inter-continental role and can significantly benefit Europe
by disseminating European culture and European social
and economic achievements to other continents;

(Amendment No 7)

_Recital 3d (new)_

Whereas the amendments to Community policies in respect of these regions should not be undertaken in a negative spirit of resignation but should rather seek to exploit
the natural and geographical advantages of these islands
for their own development, which will inevitably benefit
the Community as a whole;

(Amendment No 8)

_Recital 3e (new)_

Whereas the Azores and Madeira offer a number of potential geographical advantages due to their position in midAtlantic and that it is therefore advisable to promote the
economic and social development of these islands to
ensure that the single market takes full advantage of the
opportunities offered by the geographical situation of the
Azores and Madeira and their historic ties with other
continents;

Whereas the geographical situation of these islands
makes transport a question of top priority and whereas
they provide especially suitable conditions for certain specific activities such as agriculture and stockbreeding in the
Azores and floriculture in Madeira;

(Amendment No 10)

_Recital 4_

Whereas the Azores and Madeira suffer from a _serious_
_structural lack of development aggravated by a number of_
_constraints_ _(remoteness,_ _isolation, small_ _size,_ _difficult ter-_
_rain and climate)_ _whose_ _unchanging nature and combined_
_impact have serious effects on their economic and social_
_development and place them among the least-favoured_
_regions of the Community; whereas these special con-_
_straints make it necessary to step up Community support_
_in order to ensure that the Azores and Madeira_ _are_ _fully_
_involved in the dynamic of the internal market; whereas_
_this Community support takes the form of operations_
_under the reformed structural Funds (enjoying the priority_
_given to the_ _Objective 1_ _regions),_ _but must also ensure that_
_the special constraints affecting the Azores and Madeira_
_are taken into account_ in the application of common
policies, in accordance with the Community approach to
the remoter regions, of which the adoption and implementation of the POSEIDOM programme for the French
Overseas Departments is the first practical example;

Whereas the Azores and Madeira suffer from a series of
natural handicaps because they are islands with mountainous terrain and far from both continental Portugal and
the rest of the Community;

Whereas, in addition to these natural disadvantages the
Azores and Madeira also suffer from weaknesses in their
production structures such as low productivity in agriculture, a small and under-capitalised industrial base and
deficiencies in their educational and training systems;

Whereas the Community's common policies, in particular
the Common Agricultural Policy, do not take proper
account of the effects of the special climate and growing
conditions in the Azores and Madeira and the small size of
farms;

Whereas the Azores and Madeira are in consequence
amongst the poorest regions of the Community and must
therefore be given priority with regard to aid from the
Community's structural funds, whose objective is to
increase social and economic cohesion in the Community,
and should benefit from concessions in the application of
the Community's common policies in accordance with
the Community approach to the remoter regions, of
which the adoption and implementation of the POSEIDOM programme for the French overseas departments
is the first practical example;

Whereas additional financial aid and special legislative
concessions should be coherent and their effects coordinated;

(Amendment No 11)

_Recital 4a (new)_

Whereas an appropriate mix of legislative derogations and
financial assistance can enable the two autonomous
regions to overcome their handicaps and draw maximum
benefit from their natural advantages including, in particular, their relative proximity to, and traditional links with,
other continents;

from major Community programmes to create TransEuropean transport networks and thus reduce the costs of
'peripherality'; whereas measures to give equivalent benefit are therefore justified;

for the milk sector in the Azores in view of the social
importance for small producers;

(Amendment No 17)

_Recital 17a (new)_

Whereas the agricultural structures in Madeira and the
Azores are the outcome of a long process of human exploitation of the natural resources and have been severely
restricted in some cases owing to the insular and remote
nature of these regions; whereas the Community's present
social and structural regulations are ill-suited to solving
the problems posed by these agricultural structures since
they were conceived with quite different problems in mind;

(Amendment No 18)

Whereas additional and specific measures are required to
expand fishing and fish processing in the archipelagos, to
draw full advantage from the large exclusive economic
zone that each archipelago enjoys;

(Amendment No 1-9)

_Recital 17c (new)_

Whereas conditions on the Azores are exceptionally suited
to the production of dairy products, and although the
Azores have traditionally specialized in this sector, dairy
production on the Azores has not received the kind of aid
for modernization or quality enhancement measures that
enabled the dairy sector in most Community countries
decades ago — and most recently even in the regions of
mainland Portugal — to become highly developed;

(Amendment No 20)

_Recital 17d (new)_

Whereas the imposition of a restrictive Community policy
in a region such as the Azores where the dairy sector is
much more backward than in most of the rest of the Community, would, in effect, amount to a discriminatory policy
placing the Azores at a disadvantage compared with the
rest of Community regions;

Whereas the milk sector plays an overwhelmingly important role in the productive sector in the Azores as a whole
and there are no comprehensive economically and socially
viable alternatives in agriculture which are more advanta
geous;

(Amendment No 22)

_Recital 17f (new)_

Whereas dairy production in the Azores — as in the rest of
the Community — is subject to quotas and aid for the
modernization, diversification and quality enhancement of
dairy products in the Azores, far from increasing pressure
on the Community dairy market may actually help ease the
situation, insofar as it enables the volume of dairy exports
to non-Community markets to be increased;

(Amendment No 23)

_Recital 17g (new)_

Whereas practice in the five years since Portuguese accession has shown that the form in which Community agricultural investment aid legislation is conceived and implemented (Regulation EEC/797/85) fails to take into
account the modernization and development requirements
of the sector and it is therefore necessary to amend the
application of Community legislation in the Azores;

(Amendment No 24)

_Recital 17h (new)_

Whereas, if the single market is to be fully implemented
and if relations with third countries are to become more
transparent, protectionist trade structures based on national import quotas must be overcome; whereas the CAP
is not sufficiently attuned to the needs of Community tropical agriculture nor to the need to foster tropical agricultural aid schemes which promote the diversification of
European agriculture and avoid unnecessary conflicts of
interest with third countries;

(Amendment No 25)

_Recital 17i (new)_

Whereas as a result of developments in agriculture and
stockbreeding and wine-growing in the Azores, many
areas are already being withdrawn from cultivation and
abandoned, a trend which is likely to increase still further
in future, and these areas could, and should, therefore be
used for forestry;

Whereas coastal fishing in the Portuguese autonomous

Whereas environmental issues are particularly important

17.6.91 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 158/343

Friday, 17 May 1991

A. Whereas the compromise amendments adopted on 19 February 1991 clearly express Parliament's conviction that Directive 90/220/EEC is the appropriate legislative framework for
regulating products involving the deliberate release of genetically modified organisms into
the environment,

B. Whereas these compromise amendments were supported by the Commission and incorporated in its second amendment to the proposal on 25 March 1991 ('),

C. Whereas the amendments adopted by the European Parliament and the Commission make
no mention of the possibility of revising the proposed directive within a period of two years
so as to incorporate within it a procedure for environmental risk assessment 'analogous' to
that contained in Directive 90/220/EEC,

D. Whereas draft proposals currently circulating in the Council Working Groups and the
Commission include this provision,

E. Whereas any such proposal by the Commission would constitute a breach of undertakings
made by the Commission to Parliament, within the meaning of Rule 41(3),

1. Is seriously concerned about this potential breach of undertakings made by the Commission to Parliament;

2. Calls on the Commission resolutely to defend Parliament's compromise amendments, as
included in its own amended proposal;

3. Reminds the Commission that faced with such resolute defence the Council will require
unanimity to overturn it;

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

workers who have recently given birth and women who are breastfeeding, submitted by the
Commission pursuant to Article 149(2) of the EEC Treaty on 3 January 1991 ( [2] ),

— having regard to Rule 41 of its Rules of Procedure,

A. Whereas Parliament is waiting for the Council's common position,

B. Whereas it has become clear from the informal Social Affairs Council meeting on 6 May
1991 that a number of Member States seem hesitant to accept Article 118a as the legal base
for the directive as a whole,
