Mr Metten had informed the Chair that he had been present the

register.

_The following spoke:_

−
Mr Carnero Gonza´lez, who pointed out that General
Pinochet was taking his seat as a life senator in Chile that day
which, he said, was therefore a sad day for democrats in Chile
and the world, and called for Parliament to endorse its recent
resolution on this subject (Minutes of 19.2.1998, Part II,
Item 14(c)) (the President noted that the applause greeting
these remarks showed that Parliament was confirming its
condemnation of the appointment);

−
Mr Gutie´rrez Dı´az, on Question Time the previous day
(Part I, Item 21);

−
Mr Sindal, who said that once again an oil slick had fouled
thousands of birds off the Danish coast and called for a
vigorous response from the Commission and Council to
prevent such occurrences in the future.

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

**3. Topical and urgent debate** (objections)

The President announced that pursuant to Rule 47(2), second
subparagraph, he had received the following objections, tabled
and justified in writing, to the list of subjects for the next
debate on topical and urgent subjects of major importance:

_III. Human Rights_

−
Motion by the GUE/NGL and PSE Groups to replace the
item ‘Cuba’ wth a new item ‘Nicaragua’ comprising motions
for resolutions B4-0349/98 by the PSE Group, B4-0369/98 by
the GUE/NGL Group and B4-0374/98 by the V Group.

The motion was approved by RCV (PPE):

Members voting: 396
For: 203
Against: 187
Abstentions: 6

(Mr Alan J. Donnelly had intended to vote for, not against)

−
Motion by the PPE Group to include in this subject a new
item ‘Syria’ comprising its motion for resolution B4-0324/98.

The motion was approved.

             
           -           

Mr Ru¨big said that more than 100 Members had signed his
motion for resolution on safety in Brussels (B4-0327/98) in the
list of motions for resolutions tabled for the topical and urgent
debate (Minutes of 10.3.1998, Part I, Item 6) (the President
pointed out that this had nothing to do with the subject ‘Human
rights’ in the topical and urgent debate and that he could not
therefore accept it).

**4. Assistance to applicant countries in central**
**and eastern Europe − Accession partner-**
**ships with applicant countries** ***** (debate)

The next item was a joint debate on two reports drawn up on
behalf of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and
Defence Policy.

Mr Oostlander introduced his reports on:

−
the proposal for a Council Regulation on assistance to the
applicant countries in central and eastern Europe in the
framework of the pre-accession strategy (COM(97)0634 −
C4-0010/98 − 97/0351(CNS)) (A4-0081/98).

Draftsman: Mr Christodoulou, on behalf of the Committee on
Budgets (Hughes procedure)

−
the proposals for Council Decisions on the principles,
priorities, intermediate objectives, and conditions contained in
the accession partnerships with the applicant countries
(COM(98)0053 − C4-0130/98) (A4-0087/98).

The following spoke: Mr Swoboda, on behalf of the PSE
Group, Mr Spencer, chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, who also spoke on behalf of the PPE Group, Mr Caccavale, on behalf of the UPE Group, Mr Cars, on behalf of the
ELDR Group, Mrs Schroedter, on behalf of the V Group,
Mr Hory, on behalf of the ARE Group, Mr Blokland, on behalf
of the I-EDN Group, Mr Moretti, Non-attached Member,
Mr Henderson, President-in-Office of the Council, who also
read out the following statement:

‘Firstly, in line with Article 235, the European Parliament
will be consulted when the framework Regulation for the
accession partnerships is to be modified. Proposals for
modifications to the principles, priorities and objectives
for these partnerships will be sent to Parliament for
information. Secondly, the presidency is committed to
giving the European Parliament an appropriate opportunity to express its views so that they are available to the
Council when the Council takes a decision. Thirdly, taking
into account the exceptional importance of the enlargement process for the Union, the presidency of the Council
and the Commission will provide oral or written information to the European Parliament on the major aspects and
developments concerning the partnerships and the accession negotiations. In practice this could be done in two
ways: firstly, by providing regular information to the
relevant European Parliament committees and JPCs and,
secondly, by having a regular briefing of an agreed and
designated number of Members of the European Parliament who would be selected by that Parliament.’

The following spoke: Mr Van den Broek, Member of the
Commission, Mr Christodoulou, draftsman of the opinion of
the Committee on Budgets, Mrs Aelvoet, co-rapporteur for
Bulgaria, Mr Donner, co-rapporteur for Estonia, Mr von
Habsburg, co-rapporteur for Hungary, Mr Caccavale, corapporteur for Latvia, Mr Kristoffersen, co-rapporteur for
Lithuania, Mrs Hoff, co-rapporteur for Poland, Mr Carnero
Gonza´lez, co-rapporteur for the Czech Republic, Mr Speciale,
co-rapporteur for Slovenia, Mr Wiersma, co-rapporteur for
Slovakia, Mr Cars who repeated a question he had put to the
Commission, Mr Van den Broek, who said that he would reply
at the end of the debate, Mr Baro´n Crespo, Mr Brok,
Mrs Raschhofer, Mr Titley, Mr Paisley, Mrs Bere`s, Mr Cellai
and Mrs Stenzel.

Mr Henderson said that the position he had outlined in his
previous remarks was a presidency statement which had the
backing and therefore the authority of the Council. On timing,
he felt that the appropriate length of time would be the time
that one would expect within the institutional framework
between one part-session and another and between one Council and another, in other words 4-6 weeks. It might often be
shorter than that and there might be occasions when very
urgent matters would have to be dealt with in a much shorter
time. As regards the general question of the involvement of the

C 104/98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

European public in the enlargement process, he believed it was
very important that Parliament should be given a role in which
it could express its view, involve the public in a dialogue and
take the issues to the public. With regard to the enlargement
being considered, he added that it was important that Parliament should have the opportunity to express those views
before the Council took a decision.

The following spoke: Mr Spencer, who said that he had given
the Council a text the previous day which made it clear that,
after the vote in plenary, the Council and Commission would
take the earliest opportunity to consider Parliament’s views
and asked the Council to give him an assurance that day that
the Commission and Council would consider Parliament’s
views, Mr Henderson, who, on behalf of the Council, gave him
an assurance that the Council would take account of Parliament’s opinion before taking a decision, Mr Van den Broek,
who said that the Commission would also consider Parliament’s opinion with the Council, and the rapporteur with a
question to the Commission which Mr Van den Broek
answered.

The President closed the debate.

Vote: Item 7.

**5. Situation in Kosovo** (statement with debate)

Mr Henderson, President-in-Office of the Council, made a

Mr Souchet, on behalf of the I-EDN Group, Mrs Muscardini,
Non-attached Member, on the accession partnerships with the

The different parts of the text were adopted in order except for
para. 7(a), second part, which was rejected, which meant
para. 7(a), third part, fell.

_The following spoke during the vote:_

−
before the roll-call vote on recital O, Mr Crowley pointed
out that he was present but would not be taking part in the votes
(the President replied that, under the terms of the Quaestors’
note, such announcements should be made before the votes,
i.e. at the start of voting time, and that since Mr Crowley had
already made this announcement at the start of voting time
there was no need to make a second announcement as his
presence during the votes had already been recorded) and
Mr McMillan-Scott suggested that Members wishing to avail
themselves of the possibilities allowed under the Bureau’s new
instructions concerning roll-call votes should follow his example and submit a note in writing to the Presidency services, so
as not to disrupt the votes (the President approved this
suggestion).

(Several Members then asked for the floor but without success,
and an uproar ensued.)

_(The sitting was suspended at 12 noon)_

(From 12 noon to 12.30 p.m. Parliament held a formal sitting
on the occasion of the visit of Thomas Klestil, President of the
Austrian Republic).

_(The sitting resumed at 12.30 p.m.)_

_The following spoke:_

−
Mr Pasty, on behalf of the UPE Group, who considered the
President’s refusal to give the floor to Mr Crowley on a point
of order a clear violation of Rule 127(2) (the President replied
that he was not obliged under Rule 127 to give the floor and
that Rule 19 gave him all the powers necessary to preside over
Parliament’s proceedings and ensure they were properly
conducted);

−
Mr Crowley who also referred to the application of
Rule 127 and condemned what he considered to be the
President’s insulting and arrogant attitude for not allowing him
to speak when he had merely wished to avail himself of his
right to make his presence known to the Chair during a roll-call
vote (the President drew his attention to the Quaestors’ note
which said that it was enough for a Member to make his
presence known at the start of voting time);

C 104/102 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

− Mr Kellett-Bowman who asked the President to reconsider
his interpretation of the Quaestors’ decisions and expressed the
hope that the last votes would not be considered valid in view
of the disturbances in the Chamber when those votes were
taken (the President said he was willing to consider Mr KellettBowman’s first request but could not accept the second);

− Mr Dell’Alba who noted ‘the duties of the President ... to
ensure observance of these Rules’ (Rule 19(2)) and also
criticized what he considered the President’s arrogant attitude;

−
Mrs Green, on behalf of the PSE Group, who complimented the President on his handling of proceedings and called
on Members to observe the Bureau’s decisions which were due
to be reviewed after a trial period of three months;

−
Mrs Ewing who pointed out that the term ‘rules’ in
English, which had been used by the President of the sitting to
refer to the Bureau instructions, referred to the Rules of
Procedure and that any amendment to the Rules of Procedure
had to go through the Committee on the Rules of Procedure
and that be submitted to the plenary (the President replied that
the term had different meanings in English, pointing out that,
under Rule 5 of the Rules of Procedure, the Bureau ‘shall lay
down rules governing the payment of expenses and allowances
to Members’);

− Mr Chichester who noted that the last votes had not been
clear as a result of the uproar and asked that in future votes
should be suspended under such circumstances;

−
Mr Martens, on behalf of the PPE Group, who regretted
the President’s decision not to give Members the floor on a
point of order but backed Mrs Green’s call for Members to
observe the Bureau’s decisions for a period of three months;

−
Mr Ephremidis on the President’s interpretations of the
Bureau’s instructions;

−
Mr Wijsenbeek who stressed that his group did not
consider the system as implemented by the Bureau to be fair
and called for them to be reviewed very soon;

− Mrs McKenna who called for the House to move to the

vote;

−
Mr Falconer on Mr Pasty’s remarks and to ask for
clarification of the interpretation given by the Quaestors of the
Bureau’s instructions;

−
Mr Tillich who backed Mr Kellett-Bowman’s request for
the last votes to be cancelled (the President reiterated that this
was not possible);

− Mr d’Aboville who called on the President to withdraw his
comments about Mr Pasty to the effect that he would have
expected a group leader to conduct himself with more dignity
(the President withdrew the comments);

−
Mr Whitehead on a technical matter;

−
Mrs Oomen-Ruijten who also called for the House to
move immediately to the vote;

−
Mr De Vries, on behalf of the ELDR Group, who appealed
to Members not to abuse their rights, noted that the Bureau,
where these decisions had been taken, was the appropriate
forum for this discussion and agreed with the remarks by
Mrs Green and Mr Martens, stressing that internal reforms
would in any case be needed;

−
Mrs Muscardini who criticized the President for refusing a
Member the floor on a point of order;

− Mr Barton who called for the House to move to the vote.

(Consultation procedure)

_The European Parliament_,

− having regard to the Commission proposal to the Council, COM(97)0634 − 97/0351(CNS) ( [1] ),

**Resolution on the Commission proposals for Council Decisions on the principles, priorities,**
**intermediate objectives and conditions contained in the accession partnerships (COM(98)0053 −**
**C4-0130/98)**

_The European Parliament_,

− having regard to the Commission proposals for Council Decisions on the principles, priorities,
intermediate objectives and conditions contained in the accession partnerships with Bulgaria, Estonia,
Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia
(COM(98)0053 − C4-0130/98),

− having regard to its resolution of 4 December 1997 on the Communication from the Commission
‘Agenda 2000 − for a stronger and wider Union’ ( [1] ),

− having regard to its opinion of 11 March 1998 on the proposal for a Council Regulation (EC, Euratom)
on assistance to the applicant countries in central and eastern Europe in the framework of the
pre-accession strategy ( [2] ),

− having regard to the report of its Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defence Policy
(A4-0087/98),

A. whereas the accession partnerships are a cornerstone of the pre-accession strategy given that they will
help the applicant countries to satisfy the political and economic conditions laid down by the
Copenhagen European Council,

B. whereas financial aid, as an integration incentive for political, economic and social reform processes,
should safeguard stability in Europe,

C. whereas the assistance to be provided by the Union should be organized within a single framework for
each country, since this will enable the financial resources available to be administered more
efficiently,

D. whereas priorities as concerns the political criteria in the short term are lacking for many of the
countries, despite the fact that problems with human and civil rights persist in all the applicant
countries, including the ones that are judged by the Commission to meet both the political and
economic criteria in the medium term,

E. whereas the partnerships cannot be fully implemented unless the partners respect democratic
principles, the rule of law, human rights, and protection of minorities; and whereas a partnership
would have to be suspended if the country concerned failed to make continuous progress towards the
fulfilment of any one of the above conditions,

F. whereas, given the great political significance of the instruments in question, Parliament should be
fully briefed on the manner of giving effect to the individual partnerships and any measure seeking to
alter them, including financial, economic, or budgetary control measures,

G. aware of the necessity to exercise proper parliamentary control on the main aspects of the accession
process, both by the European Parliament and by the parliaments of the applicant states, and
underlining that the EU is expected to function as a model in this respect for the parliaments of the
CEECs;

H. whereas the accession partnerships appear to have been drawn up according to a general blueprint and
consequently do not adequately match the circumstances and specific needs of the different countries,

C 104/114 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

I. whereas a more decentralized management of structural funding and interventions will be necessary
in order to tailor the level of investments to local and regional needs, to use structural measures more
cost-effectively, more efficiently and with more sustainable results and to increase the absorptive
capacity of the applicant states,

1. Regrets that the Commission and Council have refused formally to consult Parliament and hence,
even though Parliament is the body that will be called upon to give its assent once the accession
negotiations have been concluded, have debarred it from delivering a legislative opinion on the draft
Decisions;

2. Asks to be formally invited to give its opinion in future, before any decision entailing a possible
change to the accession partnerships is taken which affects the general principles, priorities and
conditions, and undertakes to express its views within a period of six weeks;

3. Regrets the fact that some of the points to which it drew attention in its abovementioned resolution of
4 December 1997 are included among the objectives to be attained in the medium term, although the
measures in question are a matter of high political priority (especially the measures relating to the rule of
law and the workings of the democratic system, such as respect for the Constitution, the rights of the
opposition and civil liberties, equal access to public services, the fight against corruption, police
accountability, guarantees regarding the independence of the judiciary and the media), and asks the
Commission to revise the various partnership agreements on this point in order to ensure that the applicant
Member States make every effort to attain acceptable levels as regards their respect for the rule of law and
democracy in the short-term;

4. Calls for abolition of the death penalty to be inserted in the short-term objectives for all applicant
countries concerned;

5. Calls on the Commission to develop a strategy for human rights in each country and set clear targets,
both short and medium-term, within the framework of its strategy;

6. Regrets in addition that a great many points described in Parliament’s abovementioned resolution of
4 December 1997 as essential or indeed a _sine qua non_, including for example more efficient public
services, are not specifically mentioned in the accession partnerships;

7. Considers that to ensure compliance with the acquis communautaire, particular attention should be
devoted to the workings of the legal system in the applicant countries, with particular regard to the revision
of the civil and penal codes and the provision of new training courses for magistrates and barristers;

8. Asks the Commission to introduce, where appropriate, as a short-term priority the creation of
conditions to make the abolishment of visa requirements feasible;

9. Asks the Commission that financial means will, where necessary, also be available for sectors which
are of urgent interest to the people, as for instance public health care;

10. Stresses the need to establish efficient border management and control at external borders of the
applicant countries;

11. Underlines that the development and implementation of a fair policy regarding minorities should be
a short-term as well as a medium-term objective;

12. Calls for a new priority setting in the short term in the field of ‘institution building’ so as to
strengthen regional and local authorities as well as to involve the population affected and the two sides of
industry in the allocation of structural funding;

13. Is aware of the great variety as to the economic conditions which characterise the applicant
countries and calls upon the Commission to give proper attention to the comments from the Parliament;

14. Points out that most of the projected measures will demand a very considerable legislative and
administrative effort on the part of the applicant countries and the timetable laid down by the Commission
will therefore be difficult to meet;

15. Notes that, after ‘Agenda 2000’ was published, most of the applicant countries unveiled action
plans setting out all of the measures to be taken to satisfy the Commission’s observations; calls upon the
Commission to take account of the reactions elicited from those countries in developing the accession
partnerships;

6. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 104/115

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

16. Takes the view that the accession partnerships should enhance cross-border cooperation in all
sectors, especially at the external frontiers of the Union, thereby demonstrating to public opinion the aims
and benefits of enlargement;

17. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, and the
governments and parliaments of the Member States and the applicant countries.

within the European Union or worldwide,

B. whereas, in countries where fundamentalist movements or regimes are in place, women's fundamental
rights and freedoms have undergone permanent and very serious violations,

C. whereas according to UN statistics the great majority of victims of human rights violations throughout
the world are women and girls, particularly among refugees and victims of war,

D. whereas according to Unicef estimates there are two million new cases of sexual mutilation each year

**Resolution on the Commission’s communication ‘Promoting road safety in the EU − the programme**
**for 1997-2001’ (COM(97)0131 − C4-0180/97)**

_The European Parliament_,

− having regard to the Commission’s communication (COM(97)0131 − C4-0180/97),

− having regard to the Commission’s report on ‘CARE − progress with the project and its future
prospects’ (COM(97)0238),

− having regard to:

− its resolution of 15 June 1987 on 1986 − Road Safety Year: progress and prospects ( [1] )

− its resolution of 12 October 1988 on the protection of pedestrians and the European Charter of
Pedestrians’ Rights ( [2] )

− its opinion of 23 May 1989 on the proposal for a Directive relating to the maximum permitted
blood alcohol concentration for vehicle drivers ( [3] )

− its resolution of 12 March 1993 on a Community programme for action on road safety ( [4] )

− its resolution of 11 March 1994 on an action programme on road safety ( [5] ),

− having regard to the Council’s conclusions of 17 and 18 June 1997 on road safety in the EU,

− having regard to the debate and conclusions of the Conference on ‘Road safety in Europe − a shared
responsibility’ which took place on 14 October 1997 at the European Parliament in Brussels,

− having regard to the report of the Committee on Transport and Tourism (A4-0065/98),

A. whereas the implementation of the first Community action programme on road safety for the years
1993-1996 has contributed to the achievement of some progress, but the present situation with
45 000 deaths and 1,6 million reported injuries annually on the roads of the EU remains totally
unacceptable in view of the intolerable pain, grief and suffering it causes to so many,

B. whereas the hard economic costs of road accidents are estimated to be at least ECU 100 billion
annually and the total socio-economic costs exceed ECU 160 billion,

C 104/140 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

C. whereas road casualties are caused by failures in the traffic system as a whole (which includes road
users’ decisions and actions, infrastructures and vehicles) and can only be reduced effectively by
adopting a systematic approach to this question; whereas road safety is a complex and interdisciplinary subject in which the various factors play an important role and interact to a significant degree,

D. whereas road users have a special responsibility for road safety, but whereas this is also a shared
responsibility between the EU, national, regional and local authorities and between governmental and
non-governmental bodies,

E. whereas strategic planning for road safety with numerical targets is essential to increase the political
priority given to the implementation of effective casualty reduction measures and also to direct the
resources appropriately,

F. whereas several countries such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands and Sweden
have successfully used numerical targets for their road safety action plans for several years,

G. whereas low-cost road engineering measures, such as small changes in junction operation, road
lay-out, lighting, signs and markings can be implemented quickly and make significant contributions
to road safety; whereas traffic engineering as well as urban safety management can also improve road
safety,

H. whereas the production and promotion of EU technical guidelines based on best practices is an
important means to promoting road safety,

I. whereas the most vulnerable groups of road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, as well as the
young and the elderly, run the greatest risks and should therefore deserve particular attention,

J. whereas it is necessary not only to draw up new regulations, but also to ensure compliance with
existing legislation, such as that relating to speed limits, seat belts, maximum permitted blood alcohol
limits, roadworthiness tests for vehicles (especially for vehicles over seven years old which are often
involved in accidents because of technical deficiencies) and enforcing rest and driving hours for
professional drivers,

K. whereas effective action on vehicle safety standards is of the utmost importance since this is an area of
exclusive EU competence and can yield substantial benefits in term of casualty reduction,

L. whereas the influence of alcohol, drugs and medication on driving is one of the most serious traffic
safety problems and must be considered a priority action to be addressed by a package of
countermeasures including EU legislation, publicity and education campaigns, enforcement procedures, engineering and the establishment of alternative transport modes,

M. having regard to the universally acknowledged detrimental effects of excessive and inappropriate
speed on road safety,

N. whereas road safety education and public awareness and information campaigns are an effective
method of increasing public concern on road safety, and when used to support enforcement activity
can improve observance of good driving practices and safety legislation,

6. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 104/141

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

O. whereas judicial cooperation between the Member States must be reinforced in order to ensure the
mutual recognition of the withdrawal of driving licences at EU level, facilitate effective cross-border
enforcement of penalties and trace and prosecute those who have committed traffic offences or caused
accidents in other Member States; to this end, a Convention on the mutual recognition of driving bans
should be introduced,

P. whereas, not least because of the development of the internal market and growing intra-Community
traffic, road safety must be incorporated as a fully-fledged element of transport policy in the overall
policy on sustainable mobility,

1. Affirms as a major political goal its wish to give priority to measures to improve safety for all modes
of transport as well as to providing the necessary financial resources for this purpose;

2. Notes with appreciation the programme of action on road safety for the years 1997-2001;
nevertheless draws attention to a number of shortcomings in the programme;

3. Stresses the importance of dialogue, exchange of information and close cooperation between all
authorities, organizations and bodies involved in road safety at European, national and regional and local
levels; asks all parties involved to assume their responsibilities in this field and believes that the European
Union should promote, initiate and coordinate such actions and act as a transfer-point of the exchange of
best practice between all parties;

4. Stresses that the Member States must take radical and urgent measures with the aim of drastically
reducing the annual number of road casualties and that the EU should establish a numerical target to
reduce the annual deaths from the current level of 45 000 to a maximum of 25 000 by the year 2010;
considers that such a target would provide a stimulus to all parties involved in the promotion and
improvement of road safety and would contribute to mobilizing their efforts further;

5. Stresses the importance of adequate funding for road safety initiatives and is concerned that the cut
in 1998 of almost 50% in the transport safety budget line (B2-702) could mean that the new programme is
slowed down before it even begins; believes that serious consideration should be given to the utilization of
monies from B2-704 for transport safety work and to the submission of a supplementary budget;

6. Welcomes the wide range of measures proposed in the action programme presented; nevertheless
considers that a ranking of such measures according to their casualty reduction value is missing and
believes that a clear list of priorities should be established to strengthen the operational character of the
action programme;

7. In this respect, considers the following initiatives as priorities for the EU in order to achieve the aim
of halving fatalities in 15 years:

(a) legislation to ensure the production of safer cars, lorries, coaches, minibuses, motorcycles and pedal
cycles, including the improvement of car fronts and the banning of bull bars for the protection of
pedestrians and cyclists, introduction or improvement of standards for safety equipment and devices
(such as seat belts, child restraint systems, airbags and helmets), as well as measures to ensure their
use, and the mandatory fitment of front, rear and side underrun guards and spray-suppression systems
for lorries; in addition, financial support should be given to the European New Car Assessment
Programme − Euro NCAP − to allow the establishment of a rating system for the safety of cars;
furthermore it should be compulsory to provide objective and verifiable information on various
aspects of safety when selling vehicles;

(b) improvement in the safety of road infrastructure including, in particular, the establishment of EU
guidelines on road safety impact assessment, a mandatory safety impact assessment of all new
transport infrastructure projects financed or co-financed by the EU and technical guidelines on speed
reduction, low-cost measures and safety audit;

C 104/142 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

(c) legislation to limit the maximum amount of driver’s blood alcohol concentration to 0,5 mg/ml in
accordance with the proposal before the Council since 1989 and to prohibit the sale of alcoholic
beverages in service stations on motorways, as well as provisions to ensure compliance with such
legislation and the standardization of apparatus for testing breath alcohol levels;

(d) legislation to reduce excessive speed and to harmonize speed limits for the various categories of
motor vehicles and roads (including urban residential areas) and the dissemination of best practice to
enforce these speed limits;

(e) legislation and other measures to improve drivers’ training and to introduce an EU penalty points
system for driving licences; legislation should also be enacted to outlaw the use of mobile phones
whilst driving except where such phones are in a fixed position and can be used hands free;

(f) adoption of measures to step up checks on and enforce rest periods and driving hours for professional
drivers; the exclusion of transport workers from the working time directive should be ended;

(g) apart from these activities measures and guidelines are also needed to improve emergency medical
assistance to victims of road accidents and to provide better assistance in legal and social issues to
road victims and their families;

(h) reduction of road traffic by switching increasingly to safer modes of transport such as public
transport;

8. Given that the advisability of compulsory use of daytime running lights is disputed by various
organizations, considers that the Commission should, before making legislative proposals, call together
the relevant interested parties and seek to achieve consensus, including − if necessary − carrying out
further research to enable a decision to be reached on the issue;

9. In order that the above initiatives can be monitored properly, asks the Commission to establish and
manage an integrated EU road safety information system for the collection, comparison, interpretation and
dissemination of statistics on all aspects of road safety; such a system should include road safety
performance indicators, information on existing road safety measures and legislation, as well as their
application, research studies, communication strategies applied in this field and best practices;

10. Considers that the individual Member States should draw up road safety programmes based on
comparable criteria and principles but tailored to their individual needs and that the efficiency and
effectiveness of these programmes should be examined by the Commission and Council each year, with
the findings providing the basis for future road safety programmes; believes that in the longer term there
should be an authoritative annual report setting out the figures for deaths and injuries across transport
modes and across Member States which would be used to pinpoint areas of concern where work is needed
to improve safety and also to encourage Member States to focus on best practice where countries are
working successfully to bring down the number of unnecessary deaths;

11. Considers that it is necessary to ensure that drivers are given precise information concerning the
risks of taking certain medicines or drugs, the danger of which has become sufficiently clear (e.g. warning
labels on medicines based upon an EU categorization of medicinal drugs according to their effects upon
driving performance) and to adopt as quickly as possible legislation and other measures against the use of
drugs and certain medicines in traffic and also carry out research into the use of roadside drug tests;

12. Stresses that road safety would be greatly improved by bringing rest periods for drivers of heavy
goods vehicles into line with social and safety requirements and proper compliance with freight weight
limits and speed limits;

13. Considers that priority should be given to research into the introduction of 30kph zones in
residential areas and around schools, and giving pedestrians and cyclists more priority on the roads;

6. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 104/143

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

14. Stresses the importance of road-user education for all age groups and urges that action be taken to
improve road safety education in schools; stresses the role of educational and information campaigns to
improve the compliance of road users with safe practices and to increase the public acceptability of police
controls and believes that the EU should support such campaigns and ensure advertising that promotes
road safety;

15. Considers that insurance companies should contribute to promoting safer driving by differentiating
premiums for individual motor vehicle owners as much as possible according to the potential risk of the
drivers and by rewarding safe driving;

16. Considers that priority and further resources should be given to road safety research in order to
stimulate the early application of technological developments and telematics in cars and infrastructures
when genuine safety benefits can be expected, such as seat-belt warning devices, ‘smart restraints’,
speed-control devices and alcohol interlock systems; considers that more research should be carried out
into driver behaviour and the cause and effect of road rage;

17. Asks the governments of the Member States to step up their cooperation in the area of road safety in
a constructive manner while respecting the principle of subsidiarity, and urges Member States to consult
on a regular basis with law-enforcement agencies;

18. Asks the governments of the Member States to investigate the feasibility of setting up national
multimodal Transport Safety Boards to conduct independent inquiries into accidents and incidents on all
modes of transport and make recommendations to prevent such accidents from recurring;

19. Asks the Commission to take action on this resolution by presenting the relevant proposals and an
evaluation report every two years on the progress achieved on the question of road safety;

20. Calls on the Commission to submit proposals in good time before this action programme expires to
make ‘sustainable safety’ an integral part of the policy of sustainable mobility;

21. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the
governments of the Member States.

**8. Multilateral agreement on investments (MAI)**

**A4-0073/98**

**Resolution containing Parliament's recommendations to the Commission on negotiations in the**
**framework of the OECD on a multilateral agreement on investments (MAI)**

_The European Parliament_,

− having regard to its resolution of 14 December 1995 on the Commission communication entitled:
‘A level playing field for direct investment worldwide’ ( [1] ),

− having regard to its resolution of 15 January 1998 on relocation and foreign direct investment ( [2] ),

− having regard to the draft multilateral agreement on investments of 6 October 1997,

− having regard to Rule 90(5) of its Rules of Procedure,

( [1] ) OJ C 17, 22.1.1996, p. 175.
( [2] ) Minutes of that sitting, Part II, Item 8.

C 104/144 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

− having regard to the report of the Committee on External Economic Relations and the opinions of the
Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, the Committee on Legal Affairs
and Citizens’ Rights, the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media, the Committee on
Development and Cooperation and the Committee on Fisheries (A4-0073/98),

A. whereas as a result of the huge increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the wake of economic
globalization, a multilateral agreement has become necessary in this area,

B. whereas, although there are more than 1 800 bilateral agreements on FDI which endeavour in varying
ways to establish general conditions for FDI, a multilateral framework of binding legal rules may not
offer complete guarantees of improved clarity and enhanced security, but does generally provide
greater certainty and offer an opportunity for creating the general framework for world trade,

C. aware of the danger, in the absence of multilateral rules of this kind, that, on the one hand, FDI would
continue to be subject to numerous constraints and, on the other, relocation might also get out of
control,

D. concerned that the draft multilateral agreement on investments (MAI) reflects an imbalance between
the rights and obligations of investors, guaranteeing the latter full rights and protection, while the
signatory states are taking on burdensome obligations which might leave their populations
unprotected,

E. whereas the MAI must not only provide benefits to the industry and the countries of origin, but should
also contribute to responsible development of the country of establishment by promoting technology,
sustainable economic growth, employment, healthy social relations and protection of the environment,

F. whereas the aim of an MAI should be to prevent ruinous competition between investors which would
be harmful to the populations concerned in order to foster, on a global scale, environmentally and
socially sustainable and regionally balanced economic development,

G. regretting the fact that the negotiations have hitherto been conducted in the utmost secrecy, with even
national parliaments being excluded, although transparency and parliamentary supervision in key
international economic issues are of crucial importance for the legitimacy of relevant international
agreements,

H. whereas the EU has not yet supplied any studies on the impact of the MAI on trade, commerce and the
labour market or intellectual property and whereas the compatibility of the MAI with existing
environmental, social and cultural legislation and legislation on intellectual property rights in the EU,
relations with the ACP countries and the EU’s development policy, and its relationship with
international environmental agreements (MEA), international conventions on intellectual property
and regional agreements (REIO) have still not been clarified,

_**I.**_ Puts to the Commission the following recommendations:

1. Emphasizes the need for a broader public debate and ongoing parliamentary monitoring of the
negotiations being conducted within the framework of the OECD, bearing in mind that the decisions to
conclude an agreement are a matter for the state and national parliaments, the European Parliament and the
Council;

2. Calls on the Commission, within a reasonable period, to carry out an independent and thorough
impact assessment in the social, environmental and development fields, investigating to what extent the
draft MAI is in conflict with:

(a) relevant international agreements, such as the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21, the UN guidelines on
consumer protection (1985), the Unctad Set of Multilaterally Agreed Principles for the control of
restrictive business practices (1981) and the Habitat Global Plan of Action and international
commitments already entered into by the OECD;

6. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 104/145

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

(b) previously agreed OECD guidelines, such as the undertaking to integrate economic, social and
environmental policy (May 1997), agreements on the responsibilities of multinational enterprises, as
laid down in the OECD Code of Conduct of 1992, and OECD policy on development cooperation as
formulated in ‘Shaping the 21st century: the contribution of development cooperation’ (1997);

(c) regional, national and EU legislation designed to promote sustainable development;

3. Notes that non-OECD member states, and hence developing countries in particular, may also accede
to the agreement under negotiation, but regards the fact that those countries may not themselves exert any
influence on the content of the agreement as a major shortcoming of the MAI, and calls on the states
involved in concluding the MAI to refrain from exerting any pressure on the developing countries in order
to induce them to accede to it;

4. Regards it as essential that the extension of the agreement to cover a territory whose international
relations are the responsibility of one of the contracting parties should be notified to the depositary and the
other contracting parties, after which any state which has already acceded may decide not to apply the
terms of the agreement to the territory in question;

5. Calls for the question of investment protection to be examined in a multilateral context in which all
the developing countries are involved, so that Unctad, as well as the WTO, would be the appropriate forum
for these negotiations; the WTO’s consideration of this question must take full account of the results of the
UN conferences, particularly with regard to the environmental and social dimensions;

6. Stresses that it is essential that the principle of partnership, which is now accepted both by the OECD
and by the G8 as the basic characteristic of relations between developed and developing countries, should
be respected, so that the interests of the developing countries and their national policies are taken into
account as well as the interests of investors;

7. Welcomes the fact that, in addition to the Member States, the Commission is taking an active part in
the negotiations, although the EU is not a member of the OECD;

8. Calls for FDI issues to be brought within the sphere of responsibilities of the EU as an integral part of
the common commercial policy in the foreseeable future, provided that corresponding codecision and
supervision by the European Parliament are guaranteed;

9. Considers non-discrimination, the right to freedom of establishment, transparency and protection
against arbitrary expropriation to be essential and fundamental principles for the MAI;

10. Regards most-favoured nation treatment, transparency and national treatment as the basic
foundations of the MAI; points out, however, that foreign investors must not enjoy more favourable
treatment than national investors;

11. Considers it necessary for a derogation to be made for balance of payments disequilibria coupled
with a provision to deter parties from abusively invoking balance of payments problems;

12. Is concerned that the performance requirements might curtail the right of States to implement
existing industrial policies and to develop any new ones as required in future, particularly in the field of
social and environmental legislation, culture and intellectual property, and fears that EU Member States
may come under pressure in these areas in the next few years;

13. Calls on the Commission, therefore, in formulating prohibitions of specific performance
requirements, to ensure that the latter do not conflict with the environmental, social, structural and cultural
policies of the EU and its Member States;

14. Insists further that reference should be made to compliance with international human rights
conventions and environmental and social standards not only in the preamble of the MAI and that the MAI
should contain unequivocal provisions which prevent a lowering of existing environmental and social
standards by the MAI and make possible the introduction of new standards;

C 104/146 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

15. Welcomes the inclusion of the OECD guidelines for multinational undertakings as an annex in the
MAI, but advocates that those guidelines should constitute a compulsory component of the MAI and calls
in any case in this connection on the governments of the Member States to encourage international
enterprises to draw up their own codes of conduct comprising provisions in the field of environmental
protection, human rights and social matters;

16. Welcomes the comprehensive definition of the term ‘investor’, which includes both private and
public investors, but calls for a more precise definition of investments in the area of patents for plant,
animal and human genes and insists, moreover, that in the light of existing relevant international
agreements provisions on intellectual property and copyright and related rights should be excluded from
the MAI;

17. Considers a degree of scepticism to be appropriate, since the broad definition of the term
‘investment’ may lead to difficulties in future; therefore calls on the Commission carefully to monitor the
further work on definitions and to notify Parliament of any changes;

18. Cannot agree to endorse any agreement which would have the effect of rolling back EU legislation
and preventing further harmonization of EU legislation; insists, therefore, on the insertion of a separate
part of a Regional Economic Integration Organization (REIO) clause permitting new harmonized
measures, e.g. environmental legislation, adopted within the framework of such an organization and
replacing the measures previously applied by these States; takes the view that countries belonging to
REIOs are not obliged to extend to countries not belonging to the organization concerned the more
favourable treatment reserved for member countries;

19. Demands that any proposal should be compatible with international conventions already ratified by
the EC;

20. Is aware of the fact that the contracting parties must initially insist on a limited number of
derogations from the basic provisions of the MAI, but asks at the same time to be informed whether the
standstill and rollback commitments could obstruct the further harmonization of legislation within the EU
Member States;

21. Calls for the invoking of national security interests to be made subject to objective criteria which
are verifiable under the disputes settlement procedure; in this connection also advocates the inclusion of
an anti-abuse clause;

22. Regrets the fact that the MAI largely disregards issues relating to the taxation of undertakings
operating internationally, but welcomes the fact that rules are to be agreed on investment incentives with a
view to preventing an international subsidy race for relocations which would cause distortions of
competition, and calls on the negotiating partners to include taxation and international competition policy
in the built-in agenda;

23. Considers the proposed provisions on investment protection, and in particular on expropriation,
compensation and the transfer of capital and profits, to be too far-reaching; takes the view that
governments must make sure that they cannot be condemned to making compensatory payments if they
establish standards on the environment, labour, health and safety;

24. Calls further for provisions on secondary investment boycott measures which forbid the
contracting parties to impose obligations or prohibitions on investors or investments from another
contracting party on account of investments in a third country, as is the case under the Helms-Burton Act
and the d'Amato Act;

25. Draws attention to the innovative nature of the proposed disputes settlement procedure, which will
enable private companies also to take action against the government of a contracting party; considers this
development of legal protection to be questionable and asks for it to be considered whether the existing
national and international disputes settlement procedures are not adequate; calls in any event for a
balanced system of legal protection which enables both the investor to enforce the rights he derives from
the agreement and the contracting state to ensure compliance with binding provisions of its environmental
and social legislation;

6. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 104/147

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

_Cultural matters_

26. Points out that the cultural autonomy and diversity of the signatory states must not be called into
question by the MAI and that the cultural policy objectives and EU initiatives in support of a European
cultural policy must not be jeopardized; therefore calls for a derogation in respect of the application of the
MAI for the cultural industry in the EU, especially for the audiovisual sector, which might read as follows:

_‘Nothing in this agreement shall be so construed as to prevent any contracting party from taking any_
_measure to regulate investment by foreign companies and the conditions of activity of these_
_companies in the framework of policies designed to preserve and promote cultural and linguistic_
_diversity’_ ;

27. Asserts that accession to the MAI would prevent the implementation of European Union legislation
in the cultural sector under Article 128 of the Treaty, because the principles of the MAI, i.e. the ‘national
treatment’ principle and the ‘most favoured nation’ principle, if applied to the cultural sector, would
directly undermine the functioning of the EU’s various initiatives in the cultural and audiovisual sector;

28. Believes that at the very least the MAI should contain an exemption for the audiovisual sector. This
should be implemented in the form of a reservation in respect of the national treatment, most favoured
nation and the performance-related obligations with regard to present and future policies, irrespective of
the technologies used;

29. States that the multilateral agreements already in place to regulate intellectual property are legally
binding international agreements. They make further multilateral agreements on these issues, under the
auspices of the MAI, unnecessary. These agreements include those of the EU itself, the World Intellectual
Property Organization (WIPO), and the World Trade Organization's Treaty on Intellectual Property
(TRIPS);

30. Insists therefore on the exclusion of intellectual property from the scope of application of the MAI,
in order to retain the tradition of authorial rights and moral rights that exists in many European countries.
Any inclusion of strictly economic definitions of intellectual property, which exclude references to
authorial rights or moral rights, would be contrary to the multilateral agreements already operating in this
field;

31. Regrets the pressure being brought to bear by certain OECD Member States on applicant members
not to apply the EU audiovisual _‘acquis communautaire’_ . Such pressure is completely unethical and
contrary to EU enlargement procedure;

32. Stresses that nothing should endanger the freedom of the European Union or its Member States to
take initiatives to promote and support cultural and linguistic diversity, now or in the future;

33. Asserts that unconditional liberalization of the cultural industries would frustrate the legitimate
objectives of cultural policy. The basic principles of the MAI, that is the ‘national treatment’ principle and
the ‘most favoured nation’ principle, if applied to the cultural sector, would directly undermine the
functioning of the EU’s various initiatives in the cultural and audiovisual sector. These initiatives are
essential for the EU to continue to meet its legal obligations under Article 128 of the Treaty. Accession to
the MAI would, therefore, prevent the proper implementation of EU legislation in the cultural sector. The
support mechanisms existing in the EU and individual Member States are specifically designed to enhance
European cultural pluralism and diversity. It is clearly contradictory to open up such mechanisms
automatically to third countries;

_Fisheries_

34. Urges the European Union and the Member States not to sign and ratify the Multilateral Agreement
on Investment until the following can be assured:

− the fishing communities throughout the EU have been consulted and been provided with ample
opportunity to discuss the implications of the MAI on their industry;

− the ability of the European Union to establish and implement policies for the conservation of fish
stocks and the management of Community fisheries will not be compromised;

− the Commission and the Member States will continue to be able to conduct their regional and
structural policies as they choose so as to benefit those areas which are dependent upon fishing for a
significant portion of their livelihood;

C 104/148 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

− the European Union can manage its internal market for fisheries products in a sustainable way and
according to its own policies;

− the Community maintains its ability to negotiate fisheries agreements with third countries which are
consistent with the conservation of fish stocks and coherent with Community development policy;

− the European Parliament has been fully consulted under the assent procedure;

_Legal aspects_

35. Proposes that structures for the democratic ratification of any agreement to be concluded in the
framework of the WTO or the OECD should be put in place and that the interrelationship between
legislation of international organizations, the EU and Member States be scrutinized;

36. Instructs its Legal Service to work in close cooperation with the competent Commission services
and to keep the draft MAI and relevant Community legislation under review in order to evaluate whether
existing Article 189b acts would be affected by the MAI; further instructs its Legal Service to report
regularly on its evaluations;

37. Calls on the Commission, the Council and the Member States to submit, pursuant to the procedure
provided for in Article 228(6) of the EC Treaty, the definitive draft of the MAI to the Court of Justice for
full examination;

_**II.**_ Calls on the OECD to respond specifically and in detail to the above observations concerning the draft
MAI;

_**III.**_ Believes that a process of open dialogue and consultation on these matters should form an integral
part of the MAI process, and that there should be an explicit commitment to transparency in the
negotiations. The opinion of the European Parliament must inform the negotiating position of the
Commission, on behalf of the European Union. Looks forward to seeking a second opinion from its
relevant committees once the text of the final agreement has been received by the European
Parliament for its assent;

_**IV.**_ Calls on the parliaments and governments of the Member States not to accept the MAI as it stands;

_**V.**_ Calls on the Council to consult Parliament, pursuant to Article 228(3), second subparagraph, of the EC
Treaty, on the possible conclusion of the MAI on behalf of the European Union under the assent
procedure;

_**VI.**_ Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments and
parliaments of the Member States and the Secretariat of the OECD.

**9. Health protection requirements in Community policies − Alzheimer’s disease**

**(a) A4-0022/98**

**Resolution on the second report from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the**
**Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on the integration of health**
**protection requirements in Community policies (COM(96)0407 − C4-0663/96)**

_The European Parliament_,

− having regard to the second report from the Commission (COM(96)0407 − C4-0663/96),

− having regard to its resolutions and opinions adopted since 1979 on public health matters, and in
particular its resolution of 19 November 1993 on public health policy after Maastricht ( [1] ),

( [1] ) OJ C 329, 6.12.1993, p. 375.

6. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 104/149

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

− having regard to the Commission communication of 24 November 1993 on the framework for action
in the field of public health (COM(93)0559 − C3-0508/93),

− having regard to the report of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer
Protection (A4-0022/98),

A. whereas the Treaty on European Union requires the Community to undertake the task of pursuing a
coordinated policy in the field of public health,

B. whereas the Union’s health protection obligations derive primarily from the Maastricht Treaty,
through the incorporation of Article 129 (‘Public health’) into the EC Treaty, and also apply
specifically with reference to workers (Articles 118 and 118a and the Charter of Social Rights) and
citizens and consumers (Article 100a in conjunction with Article 130),

C. whereas, in view of the outcome of the Amsterdam Summit and in particular the changes to
Article 129 once the new Treaty has entered into force, the Union’s tasks in the health sphere will
expand substantially,

D. having regard to the Europe-wide challenges to which health policy must respond, in particular the
changing population structure, new treatment methods and technologies, changes in the living and
working environment, and increasing population mobility,

1. Welcomes the Commission communication on the integration of health protection requirements in
Community policies, since it does much to implement the objectives set out in Article 129 of the EC Treaty
and raises awareness of the wide range of policy areas which impact on health;

2. Calls on the Commission to produce further annual reports in future on the integration of health
protection requirements in Community policies, which should:

− assess how far health policy considerations have been taken into account at the initial policy-making
stage, to be recorded at the end of each Community policy, including an explanation of where health
has not been considered,

− list the health policy shortcomings in individual policy areas,

− include a summary of projected work with health policy implications;

3. Calls on the Commission to draw attention in its annual work programmes to activities with health
policy implications;

4. Calls on the Commission, when submitting proposals for new initiatives or revising existing rules
and regulations, to consider the resulting consequences for human health and specify them in the impact
statements; believes that the Commission should also say how far health protection aspects were taken
into account when the proposals were being drawn up;

5. Urges the Commission to recognize that:

− public health activities are becoming increasingly horizontal;

− there should be formalized structures which encourage inter-directorate working as appropriate;

− it has access to independent public health expertise to help ascertain health implications during policy
development;

6. Is of the opinion that the sections of the Commission report relating to research and development,
environment and energy, transport and international cooperation provide an accurate and comprehensive
survey of activities which affect human health;

7. Notes that the statements in the sections on the internal market and agriculture and food in particular
are confined to incomplete generalizations and that the extent of the explanation is in no way
commensurate with the health policy significance of the areas concerned; calls on the Commission,
therefore, to pay special attention to those policy areas in the next report on the integration of health
protection requirements; and further calls on the Commission to consider that, as poor diet is a major
contributor to ill health, its next report should include the quantities of foodstuffs produced and destroyed
under the provisions of the common agricultural policy;

C 104/150 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

8. Calls on the Commission to press ahead especially with the integration of health protection
requirements in European food law and notes that the Green Paper of 30 April 1997 on the future of food
law (COM(97)0176 − C4-0213/97) and the Commission communication of 30 April 1997 entitled
‘Consumer Health and Food Safety’ (COM(97)0183 − C4-0238/97) constitute steps in the right direction;

9. Calls on the Commission to submit a communication on the situation regarding vitamin and mineral
preparations within the EU, before legislative measures are proposed;

10. Points out that both the ideas put forward by the Council of Agricultural Ministers, with the aim of
reducing aid for quantity rather than quality, and the subsidies for the conversion of tobacco growing will
contribute to better health protection, and urges the Commission to put forward a reform plan in which the
harm done to human health by tobacco consumption is taken into account;

11. Calls on the Commission to draw up special preventive health measures for older workers so as to
ensure that they are not prematurely forced out of gainful employment;

12. Calls on the Commission to ensure that no research is carried out with Community funding that is
inconsistent with a high level of protection of human health, as referred to in the report of development of
a tobacco strain containing less nicotine;

13. Calls on the Commission to strengthen the position of the Interservice Group on Health within the
Commission’s internal consultation and cooperation machinery, thereby recognizing the growing
importance of health policy;

14. Calls on the Commission to provide Parliament with detailed information about the membership
and briefs of, and the work carried out to date by, the Interservice Group on Health and its subgroups;

15. Calls on the Commission to ensure that the Committee of Senior Labour Inspectors communicates
its findings, if only to the Advisory Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work;

16. Calls on the Commission to consider what measures might be employed to improve freedom of
movement for workers pursuant to Article 48 of the Treaty, specifically as regards the medical profession
and trainee doctors in particular;

17. Calls on the Commission to draw up proposals to strengthen patients’ rights on a Europe-wide basis
and, for that purpose, to submit a study on national provisions for compensation in the event of medical

errors;

18. Renews its call for an overhaul of the current division of responsibilities for health matters among
the various Commission departments, the aim being to ensure that a single Directorate-General under the
political authority of a single Member of the Commission is put in charge of policy-making and policy
implementation in the health sphere;

19. Calls on the Commission, when it draws up the 1999 preliminary draft budget, to acknowledge the
growing Europe-wide importance of public health and preventive health programmes and allocate
correspondingly more generous financial resources for the above purposes; believes, moreover, that a
separate title on public health should be inserted in the 1999 budget to enable the relevant budget headings
to be grouped together in a transparent way;

20. Welcomes the Commission’s intention to make use of the wider scope of Article 129 and submit a
communication or Green Paper on the future of European health policy after Amsterdam, in which it
should examine possible future areas of responsibility, identify the predetermined limits imposed by the
subsidiarity principle, especially with regard to sensitive matters such as authorization of unconventional
therapies, and facilitate a renewed debate on the future priorities for public health policy by the public
professions and institutions of Europe, including applicant countries; further urges the Commission to
support parliamentary initiatives in this respect such as relevant public hearings;

6. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 104/151

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

21. Calls on the Commission to draw up proposals to strengthen the role of health policy at European
level and increase its weight in relation to other policy areas and to strengthen the Community role in
relation to public health networks or bodies such as non-governmental organizations and the World Health
Organization;

22. Calls on the Commission to exert continuing firm pressure to secure a ban on the use of
growth-promoting hormones to fatten animals;

23. Calls on the Commission to insist _vis-a`-vis_ the WTO that all WTO members have the right, where
there are scientific grounds, to establish a higher degree of protection than that which can be achieved by
following _Codex Alimentarius_ recommendations;

24. Calls on the Commission to make all imported foodstuffs subject to the same health requirements
as Community products;

25. Calls on the Commission to campaign for stringent liability laws in the nuclear industry in order to
protect public health;

26. Calls on the Council to adopt a more constructive approach to the role of the EU in public health
cooperation within the terms of Article 129;

27. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council, and the
governments of the Member States.

**Resolution on Alzheimer’s disease**

_The European Parliament_,

− having regard to its resolution of 17 April 1996 on Alzheimer’s disease and the prevention of
disorders of the cognitive functions in the elderly ( [1] ),

− having regard to the amendment of Article 129 of the EC Treaty on public health, introduced by the
Treaty of Amsterdam, which, while failing to strengthen the Union’s powers in this field as had been
hoped for, nevertheless stipulates that a high level of human health protection must be ensured in the
definition and implementation of all Community policies and activities,

− having regard to the Commission proposal concerning the Fifth Framework Programme for research
and technological development activities (1998-2002) which has included, under the priority issue of
the quality of life and management of living resources, a key action relating to population ageing, with
the overall goal of promoting healthy ageing and independence in old age, referring specifically to
Alzheimer’s disease,

A. whereas the gradual ageing of the population of the European Union and the increase in lifespan are
leading to a rise in the incidence of diseases linked to age, including Alzheimer’s disease and related
syndromes,

B. whereas some five million families in all the Member States are afflicted with indescribable and
ongoing emotional, psychological and financial difficulties,

C. whereas the large number of projects submitted to the Commission each year by associations
representing the patients and their families in Europe, in the context of the promotion of actions to
combat Alzheimer’s disease, demonstrates that this scourge has become a genuine socio-economic
problem in all the Member States,

C 104/152 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6. 4. 98

**Wednesday 11 March 1998**

1. Deplores the fact that neither the Commission nor the Member States have yet responded adequately
to its requests to step up efforts to combat this fast-growing disease;

2. Regrets in particular that the Commission has still not launched an action programme to combat
Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders which would both provide an impetus for
European research and coordinate measures taken in the Member States;

3. Urges the Commission again to submit, as part of the future communication on public health, a
specific programme of action against Alzheimer’s disease and related syndromes, as called for in its
aforementioned resolution of 17 April 1996;

4. Emphasizes, considering the ageing of the population and the ensuing increase in the number of
Alzheimer patients, the importance of research in this area, and highlights in this connection the key action
in the Fifth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development;

5. Reminds the Commission that provision has been made for Community financial support to
implement action programmes in respect of other diseases, such as those related to pollution, rare diseases
