No C 13 / 2 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Monday, 9 December 1991

the European Parliament, Parliament established that
there was a vacancy ; the Member State would be
informed accordingly .

5 . Membership of committees

At the request of the EPP Group, Parliament confirmed
the appointment of Mr Lafuente Lopez as a member of
the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens ' Rights .

6 . Interpretation of the Rules of Procedure

The President informed Parliament, pursuant to Rule

131, of the following interpretation given by the Com ­
mittee on the Rules of Procedure on Rule 40 ( 2 ):

' Consequently, a committee to which a matter has been
referred back pursuant to Rule 40 ( 2 ) is principally
required under the terms of that referral to report
within the deadline given and, where appropriate, to
table amendments seeking to reach a compromise with
the Commission, but not to reconsider all the provi ­
sions approved by Parliament .

However, within these terms of reference, in view of the
suspensive effect of the referral, the committee enjoys a
greater degree of freedom and may, where necessary in
the interests of the compromise, propose reconsidering
provisions which received a favourable vote in plenary
sitting .

In such cases, in view of the fact that the only admissi ­
ble amendments from the committee are those seeking
to reach a compromise, and with a view to preserving
the sovereignty of the House, the report referred to in

Rule 40 ( 2 ) must clearly state which provisions already
approved would fall if the proposed amendments were
adopted .'

If this interpretation was not contested pursuant to
Rule 131 ( 5 ) before these minutes were approved, it
would be deemed adopted .

— Mr Price, on press reports of horse-trading
between France and the Dutch presidency at the Euro ­

No C 13 / 10 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Monday, 9 December 1991

pean Council, whereby the Netherlands would be the
seat of the Central European Bank and France would
receive a guarantee that Parliament would hold twelve
part-sessions a year in Strasbourg . He said that, if such
an agreement was reached at Maastricht, it would run
counter to Parliament 's own resolutions and its wishes
to operate at a single seat ; he asked what truth there
was in this information and insisted that, in any case,
the President should voice Parliament 's requirement to
be consulted on its future ( the President replied that he
had been made aware of these reports and had consid ­
ered them to be groundless and that he had learnt from
Mr Lubbers, President of the European Council, that he
had embarked on a new attempt at mediation, but that
the subject had not been placed on the agenda of the

European Council );

— Mr Kostopoulos, who pointed out a number of
omissions in Parliament 's newspaper which he felt was
of little use as currently presented : he asked for the
matter to be referred to the Enlarged Bureau ( the Presi ­
dent replied that he would refer the matter to the
Bureau );

— Mr P. Beazley, who protested at the lack of infor ­
mation given by the Commission to Members of Parlia ­
ment : he referred in particular to the EEC-Japan
motor-industry agreement ( the President replied that
the Commission had doubtless noted his comments,
adding that the Rules gave him other possibilities for
obtaining information ) ;

— Mr Arbeloa Muru who, referring to a Commission
publication, concerning its contribution to the intergov ­
ernmental conferences, asked for Parliament also to
publish a booklet giving details of its own contribution
( the President replied that Parliament had in fact pub ­
lished booklets, including one comparing the different
proposals for the new Treaties );

— Mr Dessylas, who referred to press reports of the
discovery of mass graves of street children murdered in

Rio de Janeiro for commercial reasons ;

— Mr Ford, who commented that the absence of a
topical and urgent debate at the current part-session
was in breach of Rule 73 ( 3 ); he called for this provi ­
sion to be adhered to, especially given the number of
topical subjects — he cited the case of Mr Maxwell —
which warranted the tabling of motions for resolutions
for such a debate ( the President replied that there were
no topical and urgent debates during part-sessions con ­
cerned with the budget ).

13 . Order of business

The next item was the order of business .

The President announced that the draft agenda for that

part-session ( PE 157.373 ) had been distributed, and
that the following changes had been made or proposed
to it ( Rules 73 and 74 ):

Monday 9 December 1991 :

The report by Mr Patterson on an amendment to Rule

124 ( 2 ) ( item 449 ) had not been adopted in committee
and had therefore been taken off the draft agenda .

At the request of the Energy Committee, which was to
meet that evening, its reports by Mrs Quistorp-Rowohl
(A 3-0330 / 91 — Item 450 ), Mr La Pergola (A 3-0302 / 91
— Item 401 ) and Mr Linkohr (A 3-03 11 / 91 — Item
403 ) would be taken later on in the evening . The
interim report by Mrs Pery on fisheries (A 3-0335 / 91 —

Item 452 ) would therefore be taken after the vote on
the Bocklet report (A 3-0326 / 91 ) and would be a joint
debate with an oral question with debate by the Agri ­
culture Committee, at that committee 's request, to the
Commission on the reference price and safeguard mea ­
sures for the market in frozen yellowfin tuna (B 3 ­

1902 / 91 ).

The next item would be an oral question with debate to
the Commission by Mr Saby, on behalf of the Develop ­
ment Committee, on Parliament 's assent to the EEC /
Maghreb and EEC / Mashraq protocols (B 3-1903 / 91 ).

The three Energy Committee reports referred to above
would then follow (A 3-0330, 0302 and 031 1 / 91 ).

The Linkohr report on R&D programmes ( Item 451 )
had been taken off the agenda as it would only be
adopted in committee that day . At the Energy Com ­
mittee 's request, it would be replaced on the agenda by
a joint debate on the Garcia Arias report on a Euro ­
pean Energy Charter (A 3-0310 / 91 ) and the Pierros
report on general principles for pan-European coopera ­
tion on energy (A 3-0309 / 91 ) which had been post ­
poned from the previous part-session .

The following spoke :

— Mr Bettini, who felt that the inclusion of the Lin ­
kohr on thermo-nuclear fusion (A 3-031 1 / 91 — Item
403 ) on the draft agenda was an abusive procedure,
arguing that it had not been voted on in committee ;

— Mr Linkohr, rapporteur, on these remarks and to
point out that the report had been adopted in com ­
mittee two or three months previously ;

— Mr Saby, chairman of the Committee on Develop ­
ment, who felt that the inclusion of his oral question
B 3-1903 / 91 must be a mistake, since the debate and
vote on the financial protocols would only be at the

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 11

Monday, 9 December 1991

following part-session . He asked for his question to be
taken jointly with the debate on the financial protocols
( the President replied that the political group chairman
had considered this matter at length and that this oral
question had been included on the agenda because it
was concerned with the human rights aspect of these
protocols . He also pointed out that, if the question
were considered together with the protocols, it could
only be included as a footnote in the debate );

Mrs Bindi, in support of the President 's reply .

The President decided to put the matter to the House .

The following spoke : Mrs Bindi, Mr Pons Grau and Mr
Cot, on behalf of the SOC Group .

Parliament agreed to take the question off the agenda
by electronic vote .

Tuesday 10 December

The reports by Mr P. Beazley on tyres for motor vehi ­
cles ( item 458 ) and Mr Seal on digital short-range radio
( item 459 ) would only be adopted in committee on
Tuesday itself and had therefore been taken off the
agenda . They would be replaced by a report by Mr Spe ­
ciale on the Commission 's 20th report on competition
policy (A 3-0338 / 91 ). As the Economic Affairs Com ­
mittee would only be meeting on Tuesday morning, its
other reports ( by Mr P. Beazley (A 3-0319 / 91 — Item
457 ) and Mr Speciale (A 3-0338 / 91 )) would by taken
before the recommendation for the second reading by

Mrs Oomen-Ruijten (A 3-0320 / 91 — Item 462 )

The second De Gucht report on direct insurance other
than life assurance ( Item 461 ) had not been adopted in
committee and had therefore been taken off the

agenda .

At the request of the Committee on Women 's Rights,
the report by Mrs Oomen-Ruijten on equal treatment
for women and men in social security (A 3-0285 / 91 ),
which had been postponed from the November part ­
session, would be included after the Janssen van Raay
report (A 3-0343 / 9 1 — Item 460 ).

The Sakharov prize for freedom of thought would be
awared to Mr Adem Demaci at a formal sitting to be
held just before voting time at noon . Voting time would
begin with the decision on the request for an early vote
on two motions for resolutions to wind up the debate
on the import of maize and sorghum from Spain (B 3 ­

1769 / 91 ) ( debate : minutes of 22 November 1991, part
I, item 21 ):

— by Mr Marck and Mr Sonneveld on behalf of the
EPP Group, on the special arrangement for the import
of maize and sorghum into Spain (B 3-1950 / 91 )

— by Mrs Ainardi, on behalf of the LU Group, on
special arrangements for Spanish imports of maize and
sorghum (B 3-1951 / 91 ).

The following spoke :

— Mr Cot, on behalf of the SOC Group, who refer ­
ring to the Bocklet report, said that the House would be
asked the following day to include reports by Mr Wynn
and Mr Vohrer on the agenda ( the President replied
that he would make this proposal if there was no agree ­
ment that evening among the various committees con ­
cerned by the Bocklet report );

— Mr Beumer, Chairman of the Economic Affairs
Committee, who asked whether the first three reports
which were on the draft agenda and which had been
taken off could be reinstated if they were adopted in
committee ( the President replied that this procedure
could not be followed ).

Wednesday 11 December

As the Budget Committee would be meeting at 8 a.m .,
the report by Mr Cochet on the impact of the Com ­
munity 's financial instruments on the environment
(A 3-0312 / 91 — Item 469 ) would be debated before the
budget debate .

Mr von der Vring, Chairman of the Committee on Budg ­
ets, spoke firstly on the trilogue, to point out that mem ­
bers of the Budgetary Control Committee would also
have to be at the meeting of the Budgets Committee,
and secondly to request that the budgetary debate
should be on Wednesday afternoon instead of the joint
debate on drugs trafficking, which had been taken off
the agenda ( the President replied that he had no infor ­
mation concerning the trilogue referred to ).

At the request of the Budgets Committee, a Cornelissen
report on amending letter No 1 to the 1992 draft budget
(A 3-0270 / 91 ) would be included in the joint debate on
the three other budget reports ( by Mr Cornelissen, Mr
Tomlinson and Mr Pasty, items 466-468 ).

The joint debate on the reports by Mr Cooney (A 3 ­
0358 / 91 ) and Sir James Scott-Hopkins (A 3-0357 / 91 )
and oral questions with debate B 3-1898, 1899 and

1900 / 91 on drugs trafficking ( Items 472 — 474 ) would
be taken off the agenda .

Voting time on Wednesday evening ( Single Act ) would
be at 5.30 p.m ., not at 5 p.m .

The following spoke :

— Sir James Scott-Hopkins, on the status of his
report in the joint debate on drugs ( the President con ­
firmed that it had been withdrawn ) ;

No C 13 / 12 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Monday, 9 December 1991

— Mr Su&rez Gonzalez, who objected to the pub ­
lished order of questions for Question Time, since it
did not follow the order in which they had been tabled :
he asked for this problem to be examined ( the Presi ­
dent replied that chronological order was generally fol ­
lowed, but some questions were grouped together : he
said that the problem would be examined );

— Mr Taradash, who first objected to the postpone ­
ment of the joint debate on drugs trafficking given, that
the Committee of Inquiry had not been able to obtain
an extension to its term, and then sought an assurance
that the debate would be included at the next part ­
session ( the President replied that the matter would be
considered at the Enlarged Bureau meeting on
Wednesday and advised him to put his request to his
group chairman );

— Mr Cornelissen, general rapporteur for the budget
who, after referring to the crowded budget calendar,
felt that the budget debate could not be held on
Wednesday morning : he would like it to start after Vot ­
ing Time at 1 1.30 a.m . ;

— Mr Bontempi, who insisted that the work com ­
pleted by the Committee of Inquiry into drugs traffick ­
ing should not be left with no follow-up ;

— Sir Jack Stewart-Clark, who wanted his report to
be included in the joint debate on the reports of the
Committee of Inquiry and by Sir James Scott-Hopkins,
and that ample time should be set aside for the debate
( the President recommended him to forward this
request to his group chairman );

— Mr Robles Piquer, who asked the President to take
action on behalf of Mrs Cruz Varela who had been ill ­
treated and imprisoned in Cuba for distributing leaflets
in defence of human rights ( the President replied that
he would take what action he could on behalf of this
individual ).

The President then outlined the beginning of the
agenda :

9 a.m . the three reports by the Budgetary Control Com ­
mittee followed by the budget debate,

1 1 . 30 a.m . vote on the Bocklet report and other motions
for resolutions on which the debate was closed,

3 p.m . continuation of budget debate .

Thursday 12 December

The report by Mr Pasty ( Item 468 ) would be the first of
the budget reports to be voted .

At the request of the Transport Committee, the final
vote on the second Visser report on slots at Community
airports (A 3-0364 / 91 ) would be included in Voting

The Legal Affairs Committee had requested referral
back to committee for the Galle report on the move ­
ment of objects of cultural interest (A 3-033 1 / 91, item
482 ) pursuant to Rule 103 .

The following spoke : Mr Garcia Amigo, on behalf of

Sixth recital a ( new )

Whereas the per hectare compensation payment system
involves the risk of plantings without any genuine pro ­
duction objective ; whereas the consequence of such
planting would inevitably be an increase in the area down
to oilseeds, in particular in regions with high cereals
yields, the maximum guaranteed areas would thiis be
exceeded and there would be an artificial drop in average
regional reference yields ; whereas, therefore, provision
must be made for Member States in conjunction with the
Commission to draw up a minimum and binding crop
specification for each of the oilseeds ;

( Amendment No 28 )

105(1 ).

The following spoke on this motion : Mr Colino Sala ­
manca, Chairman of the Agriculture Committee, and Mr
McCubbin .

Mr Killilea spoke .

Parliament approved the motion by electronic vote .

The following spoke on this decision and the procedure
followed : Mr Lane, Mr Colino Salamanca, Mr Howell,
who called on the presidency to instruct Mr Colino Sal ­
amanca to call immediately a meeting of the Agricul ­
ture Committee, Mr Killilea, Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf,

Mr Navarro Velasco, who called for the matter to be
referred to the President of Parliament or the Bureau,

Mr Lane, Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf, Mr Howell, who
felt that the debate on the report should only be post ­
poned for half an hour, Mr Cornelissen, who also
wanted the matter to be referred to the Bureau and the

debate to take place the following morning, Mr Tom ­
linson, Mr Hoppenstedt, Mr de la Malène, who
believed the President had the right to propose addi ­
tions to the agenda ; he therefore asked the President to
reconsult Parliament ( the President replied that the
vote stood but that he was willing to refer the matter to
the Bureau the following day ), Mrs Oomen-Ruijten, Mr
Cot, on behalf of the SOC Group, who requested a sus ­
pension of the sitting so that the Enlarged Bureau
could meet immediately, Mr Tomlinson, on behalf of
the British members of the SOC Group, on this request
and to argue that there could be no question of over ­
turning a sovereign decision of Parliament, and Mr
Bocklet, rapporteur, who argued that the decision just
taken would make it impossible for Parliament to give
its opinion in time, and for this reason supported Mr
Cot 's request .

Parliament approved Mr Cot 's request for a suspension
of the sitting by electronic vote .

( The sitting was suspended at 3.30 p.m . and resumed at

4.35 p.m .)

The President announced that, while seeking a political
solution to the problem, the Enlarged Bureau had
received a request from Mr Colino Salamanca, Chair ­

man of the Agriculture Committee, for the application of
urgent procedure for the Commission communications

to the Council on CAP reform ( Bocklet report ), pur ­

suant to Rule 75 . This request would be put to Parlia ­
ment the following morning .

IN THE CHAIR : SIR FRED CATHERWOOD

Vice-President

The following spoke on this announcement by the

President : Mr Tomlinson, who wanted more informa ­
tion on Mr Colino Salamanca 's request ; in particular
he wanted to know exactly what was being voted on
the following morning ( the President replied that he
had received a letter from Mr Colino Salamanca with a
request for urgent procedure ), Mr Colino Salamanca,
who said that his committee would be meeting at 5
p.m . that evening to examine the request for urgent
procedure, Mr Wynn, on the compatibility of this
request with the decision taken pursuant to Rule 105 ;
he stressed that under no circumstances could the
Enlarged Bureau alter a sovereign decision by Parlia ­
ment, Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf who, referring to Rule
75 ( 1 ), emphasized that a request for urgent procedure
could not be made by the chairman of a committee but
by the committee itself, Mr Stevenson, on the applica ­
tion of Rules 36 ( 1 ) and 75, Mr Colino Salamanca, who
confirmed that the Agriculture Committee would be
meeting at 5 p.m . that day to discuss the request for
urgent procedure, Mr McMahon, who presumed that
the Agriculture Committee had therefore not yet
reached a decision, Mr Martinez, Mr Paisley, who
pointed out that the Enlarged Bureau had been
informed that the Council would not be present the fol ­
lowing morning, and Mr Lane .

Mr Chanterie announced that he was formally submit ­
ting, pursuant to Rule 75 ( 1 ), a request for urgent proce ­
dure signed by 23 Members concerning the abovemen ­
tioned communications .

Reason for request : Parliament had to give its opinion
before the Agriculture Council meeting scheduled for
that week .

Parliament noted this information .

The vote on the request for urgent procedure would be
held at the beginning of the next sitting .

Mr Killilea hoped that the Commissioner responsible
would be present the following day, given the absence
of the Council .

Mr Balfe stated that he had learnt that Mr Howell had
physically attacked another Member : he called for the
matter to be referred to the Committee on the Rules of

Procedure .

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the Council ( COM(91 ) 0037 ) ('),

— having been consulted by the Council pursuant to Article 130s of the EEC Treaty

( C3-0090 / 91 ),

RESOLUTION

on the common fisheries policy and the adjustments to be made

The European Parliament,

— having regard to the Commission communication to the Council and the European

Parliament on the common fisheries policy ( SEC(90 ) 2244 — C3-0024 / 9 1 ),

— having regard to the motions for resolutions by :

( a ) Mr Gangoiti Llaguno on the new common fisheries policy and the small-scale fishing

fleet ( B3-0005 / 91 ),
( b ) Mr Gangoiti Llaguno on the new common fisheries policy ( CFP ) ( B3-0006 / 91 ),

— having regard to the interim report of the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural

Development and the opinion of the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology

( A3-0335 / 91 ),

No C 13 / 38 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Tuesday, 10 December 1991

A. whereas under the exceptional system for the conservation and management of fishery

resources set up in January 1983 for a 20-year period, a review, based on a report by the
Commission, is to be carried out in the tenth year of the scheme, i.e. not later than
3 1 December 1992, for the purpose of assessing the outcome of the common fisheries policy
and proposing guidelines on which to base the necessary adjustments,

B. whereas the European Parliament was not sufficiently involved in the system for the
conservation and management of fishery resources which led to the creation of the common
fisheries policy,

C. alarmed at the very poor state of most fishery resources, but keenly mindful of the
imperatives of development and economic and social cohesion laid down in the EEC Treaty
and in particular the goal of ensuring a fair standard of living for people who live by fishing,
as set out in Article 39,

D. whereas overfishing is not the only reason for dwindling resources, but whereas inadequate

conservation of young fish, the decay of the marine environment caused by pollution,
uncontrolled coastal development, the inappropriate or improper use of certain fishing
techniques and practices and failure to respect existing legislation are also implicated,

E. whereas consumer demand for fish far exceeds the Community 's production capacity,

F. whereas, despite the efforts being made, the Community fleet is quantitatively and
qualitatively unfit to cope with the situation,

G. having regard to the present lack of appropriate encouragement for research into fishery

technology and models for the evaluation, management and exploitation of resources,

H. regretting that successive measures to reduce fishing levels have too frequently over the last

few years been adopted in an uncoordinated fashion, without genuine regard for, or even
correct analysis of, the social implications,

„ I. whereas the success of the common fisheries policy reform will depend to a very large
degree on the extent to which all those employed in the sector support the aims of the reform,
and whereas their support will itself depend on the level and quality of Community solidarity
with fishermen,

1 . Notes the measures adopted in recent years in an attempt to improve the resources situation,
in particular :

( a ) the stricter technical conservation measures in the form of :

— larger permitted mesh sizes,

— encouragement given to the use of square meshes and selective trawls,

— restrictions on the use of gill nets,

— restrictions on the use of beam trawls in specific areas,

— a ban on automatic sorting machines,

— protection of certain spawning grounds or areas for stocking with young fish,

( b ) the multiannual guidance programmes which provide for a substantial reduction in the whole

Community fleet in the period 1987 to 1991 compared with the targets set for 1986 and
whose implementation has brought varying results in the different Member States,

( c ) an increase, to some extent, in the inadequate but necessary appropriations for structural

measures connected with Regulations ( EEC ) Nos 4042 / 89 and 4028 / 86, and the amend ­
ments made to the latter text with a view to improving its operation and catering for joint
ventures, experimental fishing, and, to a degree, small-scale fisheries,

( d ) a substantial increase in the financial resources allocated to monitoring operations, although

neither the human resources placed at the Commission 's disposal nor its capacity to act have
been boosted to a corresponding extent ;

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 39

Tuesday, 10 December 1991

2 Notes however, that the above instruments bring only a partial remedy for the lack of
proportion existing between the operational fleet and known resources and that the various
measures, to judge in particular by the rate of implementation of the multiannual guidance
programmes in the different Member States, do not appear to have achieved their appointed aims,
the reasons for this being inter alia the inadequacy of financial resources, the lack of incentives
encouraging fishermen to comply with the rules, a lack of flexibility in the current model for the
management of resources and a lack of realism in some of the technical measures adopted,

3 . Draws the attention of the Community authorities and the Member States to the current
precarious financial position of fishing undertakings resulting from the modernization efforts
which they have already undertaken and are continuing to agree to, particularly in the small-scale
fishing sector, and which in some cases are accompanied by commercial measures which clearly
jeopardize the correct application of the common fisheries policy and are taken ignoring the

latter, as, for example the reference price for frozen tuna agreed within GATT ;

4 . Rules out the idea of a proportional undifferentiated reduction in fleet capacity in all the
Member States, without the various sectors being taken into account, notes that some Member
States have already complied with he objectives laid down and believes, therefore, that :

( a ) Member States which have not managed to achieve the capacity reduction targets set out in

their 1987 to 1991 MAGPs should be compelled to take positive measures to do so and such
measures should include capacity adjustment provisions,

( b ) a two-year moratorium needs to be laid down in 1992 and 1993 in order to enable Member

States which have not yet managed to achieve the target set in the 1987 to 1991 MAGPs, to
fulfil their obligation by the end of that period, prior to the introduction of any new
multiannual guidance programmes incorporating different approaches placed on a new
footing,

( c ) in order to strengthen and lend credibility to the future MAGPs, provision should be made for

sanctions against Member States which fail to take measures to secure compliance with these
targets, without, however, directly penalizing their fishermen ;

5 . Notes the new guidelines set out in the Commission communication to the Council and
Parliament entitled Common fisheries policy and believes that the communication anticipates the
report provided for in Article 9 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 170 / 83 of 25 January 1983 ;

6 . Points out that the TAC / quota system, despite its shortcomings, is an important element in
the management of resources ;

7 . Expresses its desire to be consulted prior to the establishment of any measure concerning
the management of resources and consequently considers that Article 1 1 of Regulation ( EEC ) No

170 / 83 must be amended to ensure the compulsory consultation of Parliament before the
adoption of such measures ;

8 . Considers, therefore, that the objective of relative stability in the distribution of the volume
of catches amongst Member States, which is established in Article 4 of Regulation ( EEC ) No

170 / 83, must be retained in the second 10 years of the common fisheries policy, subject to the
fact that any interpretation to be given of the future application of this principle shall conform to
any criteria set out by the Court of Justice of the European Communities in any rulings it delivers
on cases brought by Member States relating to the application of this principle ;

9 . Considers that in any case its application should become more flexible, as for example :

( a ) in the establishment of the TACs, which, in some cases, are not used up for indisputable

scientific reasons or because there is evidence of overfishing,

( b ) by asking management units to take into account not only geographical criteria but also

biological stocks,

( d ) by establishing an appropriate relationship between the techniques for exploiting resources

and the development of fleets and the rational and sustained use of existing resources ;

No C 13 / 40 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Tuesday, 10 December 1991

1 0 . Proposes that the instruments for the conservation of Europe ' s sea fishery resources in the
period 1993 to 2002 should likewise have as their cornerstone the access to waters provisions of
Article 6 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 170 / 83, which should be retained intact, and also the
arrangements for limiting access to the biologically sensitive fisheries region referred to in
Article 7 of the same regulation ; these instruments could be revised, in the light of the
experiences of the past 10 years ;

11 . Proposes that the new instruments for limiting fishing activity in order to conserve
Europe 's sea fishery resources in the period 1993 to 2002 should not be confined to the above
method alone, but should draw on the widest range of measures designed to give effect to the
aims of conservation, in particular :

( a ) a study of additional systems based on direct monitoring of fishing activity or a system of

counting per variety and per fishing-ground, allowing Member States to choose whatever
management instruments appear best suited to the needs of their regions, and none of the
possible methods ( graduated limits on the number of fishing days, transferable licences,
measures enforced by Member States on a regional basis, new technical measures,
temporary cessation, etc .) should be ruled out in advance in favour of any one approach,
since both the setting of objectives and the approving of the admissible methods and plans
submitted by the Member States and the monitoring of their implementation are the
responsibility of both the Member States concerned and the Community authority, which
safeguards the common interest,

( b ) protection should be afforded, as a matter of priority, to spawning grounds and areas for

stocking with young fish, as shown on a map of the Community fishing zone that has to be
plotted without fail,

( c ) a regional approach, as is necessitated by the variety of sector-specific or local situations,

should be adopted when laying down TACs and quotas, or determining biologically
sensitive areas and economically sensitive areas, defined on the basis of objective criteria,
and the conditions of access thereto, as well as when adapting fleets,

( d ) understanding of the interrelationships of fished species,

( e ) greater responsibility for everybody, both those in the fishing industry and elected

representatives, at both national and regional level ;

1 2 . Considers that the Commission should come forward with proposals aimed at speeding up
the conservation process and proposing compensation for fishermen who are prepared to accept
stricter conservation measures ;

13 . Believes that the only way to bring the fleet more closely into line with fishery and fleet
resources is to increase the attractiveness and funding of structural measures, namely by making
the CFP part of the Community 's structural funds policy and, since the inadequacy of
appropriations may politically compromise the desirable and possible objectives of these
regulations, deplores the fact that the practices of some Member States can be obstructive to
measures under the funds in their present form, and appeals to the Member States not to hinder
the process ;

14 . Draws attention to the need to use the Community funds to develop regional fish
processing capacity, particularly in peripheral regions, as a source of employment and a vital
contribution to the development of fishing communities ;

15 . Takes the view that :

— the section on research is insufficiently developed in the Commission communication,

— in the short term the amount of funding available under AIR for fisheries research must be

established,

— Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union must be granted access to AIR,

— an evaluation will have to be made of the findings of research funded under fisheries

agreements with third countries,

— a European research institute will have to be chosen to coordinate such research in the future ;

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 41

Tuesday, 10 December 1991

16 . Believes that the updated Financial Perspective and structural funds for 1993 to 1997 will
have to provide for an ' Objective 5(c )' for vulnerable regions that are heavily dependent on
fisheries and have the fewest opportunities for conversion, and should provide for the secondary
and tertiary stages of fishing activity, whilst ensuring that there is no discrimination between
regions ;

17 . Is aware that the Community 's social policy has not yet been totally harmonized but that
social measures are being determined in various areas, and formally invokes the necessary
solidarity which the Community has to show with its fishermen in the form of social measures to
back up its structural policy and reiterates the need for a social policy covering all aspects of the
working life of fishermen, be they self-employed, members of cooperatives, or employees ;

18 . Calls for future measures to adjust fishing levels to the state of resources to be part of, at
both Community and national and regional levels, an integrated programme enabling all the
social and economic implications of such measures for those employed in the fishing sector to be
recorded, with particular provision for :

— fair compensation for loss of income in the event of temporary restrictions ' on fishing,

— in the event of a permanent cessation of employment, social compensation measures such as

early-retirement benefit and retraining measures jointly financed by the Community and the
Member States, all designed so as to ensure a decent standard of living to those affected and
to provide compensation in each region for the loss of jobs ;

19 . Considers that pnonty must be given to a social policy for small-scale fisheries in the
least-favoured maritime regions of the Community ;

20 . Deplores the limitation of the financial resources allocated to monitoring operations and
the legal impossibility for the Commission to be able to act directly in this sphere, which means,
in view of the passive attitude of many Member States, that a strict control of the effective
implementation of current Community rules on fisheries is not carried out ;

2 1 . Points to the need to increase the supervisory powers and capacities of the Community
authorities, having regard to the principle of subsidiarity, parallel to the more rigorous national
measures already being undertaken, so as to bolster fishermen 's confidence in European fisheries
measures, giving them the certainty that the law applies equally to each and every one of them ;

22 . Awaits the technical and economic results of the pilot projects and of specific and more
concrete discussion documents dealing in particular with technical feasibility and also the
problems of date protection, standardization and relations with third countries, and in the
meantime takes a positive view a priori of the projected integrated Community surveillance
system whereby the positional data collected by observation satellites would be processed by an
electronic data transmission network ; nevertheless considers that every effort should be made to
avoid excessive controls, which would only increase costs, and to ensure that the establishment
of such a system will not have financial repercussions on the fisheries sector ;

23 . Deplores the inadequacy of the resources allocated to biological research, making it
impossible to have reliable information on which to base TACs for all species, in particular in the
parts of the economic exclusion zone about whose resources least is known,

24 . Recognizes that the spirit of the FAR framework programme is in keeping with the wishes
expressed by Parliament in the past and recommends that particular attention be devoted to
coordination of research activities designed to improve the selectiveness of fishing gear and
techniques ;

25 . Considers that the CMO should apply to as many species as possible, bring greater
transparency to price setting, and be able to play a role in steering demand ;

No C 13 / 42 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Tuesday, 10 December 1991

26 . Welcomes the Commission 's efforts to encourage and to promote the development of
aquaculture and hopes they will be accompanied by instruments to guarantee the future stability
and development needed to consolidate and revive this important sector, but warns against the
irreversible damage to or destruction of the coastal environment that can result from over ­
intensive fish-farming and the practice of moving on to new sites when the old ones become
polluted beyond repair ;

27 . Considers that support should be given to the Commission 's policy of increasing the
number of international fishery agreements with third countries based on criteria of balanced
fishing opportunities and their cost in terms of both direct financial compensation under the
Community budget and the cost of licences paid for by Community shipowners, but considers
that the agreements must not be based primarily on contributions of public funds ; refuses to
accept that fisheries agreements with third countries have no connection with Community
commercial or development policy but, on the contrary, firmly believes that these various aspects
of the Community 's international relations must be coordinated in order to achieve synergy ;

28 . Acknowledges that world population growth and the projected consumption resulting
therefrom assure a secure future for fisheries activities ;

29 . Is convinced that the Community fishing industry, equipped with a modern, efficient fleet
and mindful both of its responsibility to protect the marine environment on which its survival
depends and of its potential role in the development of partner states, could become a valuable
means of enhancing the Community 's international image and a key regional development
instrument ;

30 . Points out, finally, that the common fisheries policy can not succeed unless it has the
support of Community fishermen ;

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

situation ( the President replied that the matter would
be looked into, adding that the work of the Danish
team in general was of an exceptionally high standard ).

11.45 p.m . to midnight :

— action taken on the opinions of Parliament .

The following spoke :

— Mr Galland, on behalf of the LDR Group, who
referred to the very crowded agenda which would make

it difficult for all the debates to be completed satisfac ­
torily and therefore requested that the President should
propose removing Question Time from the agenda, on
the basis of Rule 74 ( 2 ) ( members would receive written
answers to their questions ). This would allow speaking
time to be increased and the debates to be held in a
more orderly fashion ( the President replied that Ques ­
tion Time was down for the night sitting while votes,

including the vote on the Bocklet report, were sched ­
uled for 5.30 p.m .);

— Mr Cot, on behalf of the SOC Group, who pointed
out that the agenda for the following day was also very
crowded and that, in order to enable the political
groups to examine the conclusions of the Maastricht

European Council, the time allocated for debating the
Bocklet report should in fact be reduced as far as possi ­
ble so that it could be voted on before midday ;

— Mr Galland, on the President 's reply to his pre ­
vious remarks, to point out that the vote on some items
on that day 's agenda would only be the following day ;

— Mr Chanterie, on behalf of the EPP Group, who
opposed any reduction in the time set aside for the
Bocklet report and endorsed the order of business as
outlined by the President, on the understanding that
political groups would be able to meet between 8 an 9

p.m .;

— Mr Elliott, who insisted that Question Time should
be left alone ;

— Mr Alavanos, on behalf of the LU Group, to
endorse Mr Elliott 's comments ;

— Mr Chanterie, who confirmed his backing of the
President 's proposal ;

— Mrs Ewing, who called for measures to be taken to
prevent unauthorized persons being given access to the
Chamber ;

— Mr Cot, who proposed that voting time that eve ­
ning should begin at 5 p.m . so that the political groups
could meet again after the votes .

This proposal was taken over by the President,
endorsed by Mr Galland, on behalf of the LDR Group,
and was approved by Parliament .

The following spoke :

— Mr Pannella, who regretted that events in Yugosla ­
via had not been discussed at the Maastricht European
Council ;

— Mr Cassidy, who wanted to know when the Spe ­
ciale report on competition policy (A 3-0338 / 91 ) would
be put to the vote and who pointed out that the amend ­
ments to this report were not available ( the President
replied that this problem would be looked into ).

Article 7a ( new )

Article 7a

The main action of dissemination and exploitation of
results from the Community 's specific research and

out through the establishment of a network of ' relay
stations ', defined in Annex I, which will build on and
extend already existing dissemination and exploitation
networks in the Community .

( Amendment No 1 1 )

Annex I, introduction, second paragraph ( a )

( a ) Honzontality

Measures to publish and utilize research results must
apply to the whole range of Community R&D activities,
irrespective of the nature of the programmes, the persons
involved and the administrative authorities responsible .
This criterion means that this centralized action is one of
a series of horizontal measures including programmes
like MONITOR which is designed to come up with
scenarios and strategies for future research .

Measures to publish and utilize research results must
apply to the whole range of Community R&D activities,
irrespective of the nature of programmes, the persons
involved and the administrative authorities responsible .,
This criterion will be implemented and guaranteed
through coordination and liaison between the unit specif ­
ically responsible for dissemination / exploitation within
the management team of each RTD specific programme
and the centralized action .

( b ) Internal complementarity

( Amendment No 12 )

Annex I, introduction, second paragraph ( b )

( b ) Internal complementarity

The centralized action does not rule out, in fact to some
extent it presupposes, measures taken within each spe ­
cific programme to promote the dissemination of the
results . It supplements and coordinates the measures
taken under specific programmes . It also concentrates on
activities requiring special infrastructure ( computerized
information systems, a network of ' relay stations ', etc ) or
special capabilities for transferring know-how to fields of
activity in other disciplines .

The centralized action will coordinate and supplement
the measures taken under the specific RTD programmes .
It will concentrate on activities requiring special infra ­
structure and skills, i.e. the creation of a network of relay
stations and a user-friendly computerized information
system for Community research results .

( c ) Subsidiarity

TEXT AMENDED

BY THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

with other Community measures ( regional development
programmes, SPRINT ) and in cooperation with the
national and regional authorities responsible, to establish
a coherent mechanism managed by the Commission for
the utilization and transfer of the technologies and the
know-how obtained from Community research and tech ­
nological development .

( Amendment No 14 )

Annex I, introduction, third paragraph a ( new )

Detailed and quantifiable objectives for the centralized
action will be described in work plans, which will be
submitted annually to the Committee .

( Amendment No 15 )

Annex /, section I A, first and second paragraphs

A network of ' relay stations will be set up to promote
Community R&D . This will he done hv developing the
channels already made available for providing compan ­
ies with information and for disseminating results . It will
provide multifunctional support for the measures plan ­

ned under the present programme .
These relay stations will have special access to Commun ­

ity information and will be able to tailor this information
to the various needs which arise at decentralized level .
They will also allow companies, particularly small busi ­
nesses and businesses located in the more peripheral and
least favoured areas of the Community, to enter into
contact with centres of excellence .

The relay stations will have a role to play both down ­
stream and upstream of specific programmes .

Upstream, these relay stations will provide information
( by publishing newsletters, translating documents,
organizing conferences, etc .), advice and assistance ( by
helping small businesses to define their Community
strategy and to find, and negotiate contracts with, part ­
ners ).

Downstream, they will help with the centralized action to
publish and utilize research results consolidating links

between the companies and laboratories requiring infor ­
mation at local or national level and the supply of
information at Community level ( by organizing targeted
dissemination projects and information and training
campaigns ).

New channels of information will be created in two ways :

( i ) A network of ' relay stations ' will be set up to
promote Community R&D in accordance with the
criteria set out below . These relay stations will have
special access to Community information, under the
control of the Commission, and their main task will
be to tailor and interpret this information for local
needs .

The criteria for the establishment of a relay station will
take account of its capacity to ensure, as far as possible :
— the dissemination of information on Community

programmes and calls for proposals,
— identification of opportunities for participation in

Community R&D programmes, and assistance to
candidates in the preparation of proposals,
— the interpretation and dissemination of Community

programme results for target audiences and local
firms,
— promotion of the exploitation of the research results

with potentially interested enterprises,
— assistance to organizations which have produced

results in the identification of exploitation opportuni ­
ties at European level and market research possibil ­
ities,
— the provision of information on intellectual property

and the legal protection of results,
— assistance in finding financial support for further

developments .

BY THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

( Amendment No 16 )

Annex I, section 1A, third paragraph

The scientific, technical and industrial community will
help to select the relay stations in the Member States and
to define their specific tasks . In order to make them as
dynamic as possible, the quality of information flows will
be improved and be made more efficient .

The Commission will select the relay stations in the
Member States in consultation with the scientific, techni ­
cal and industrial community, and the competent nation ­
al authorities, and will define in detail their specific tasks .

The relay stations will, at the outset, analyse current
practice on dissemination and exploitation, identify new
approaches where necessary, and formulate a plan of
action with specific targets .

( Amendment No 17 )

Annex I, section J A, fourth paragraph

Once the VALUE programme has been completed, a
basic service, CORDIS, should become available . As of

1991, the availability of this service can be speeded up by
allocating more resources to it within the framework of
the centralized action .

After 1993, the aim of the centralized action will be to
update and add to CORDIS data in order to ensure that
there is no breakdown in the service .

The service will have to provide new functions and
continue to expand by including other sources of infor ­
mation .

The proposed pattern of development will include : mak ­
ing the service more user-friendly ; extending the service
by integrating other databases from European bodies or
programmes ; using electronic storage devices ( CD ROM

and video discs ); developing systems for electronic data
exchange between selected users ; including the relay
stations, which could allow additional information ser ­
vices or special access facilities for certain private data
providers .

( li ) A user-friendly computerized information service

called CORDIS will become available in 1992 .

After 1992, the aim of the centralized action will be to
update and expand the CORDIS information service . The
service will provide new functions and continue to
expand using new sources of information, integrating
other databases, using electronic storage devices ( CD
ROM and video discs ) and developing user-friendly
systems for electronic data exchange in cooperation with
related Community programmes .

having regard to the conclusions of the OECD Ministerial Conference of June 1991, and

more precisely the recommendation concerning the need to conclude the Uruguay Round
before the end of 1 99 1,

—
having regard to the conclusions of the conference of the leading industrialized countries, the

Group of Seven, held in London in June 1991, as well as the informal meeting of EEC trade

Development and the opinions of the Committee on External Economic Relations, the
Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the Working Environment, the Committee
on Regional Policy and Regional Planning and the Committee on Development and
Cooperation ( A3-0342 / 9 1 ),

A. whereas an efficient and competitive Community agriculture, which respects the environ ­

ment, cannot be sustained by discrimination on grounds of farm size,

B. whereas a fundamental reform of the CAP is extremely necessary and urgent in view of the

present problems confronting agriculture,

C. whereas the Commission 's proposals should be considered as the first step towards a
fundamental reform of the CAP,

D. whereas the Community must guard against the introduction of bureaucratic measures which

would be hard to apply and harder still to monitor and control,

E. unwilling to play any part in a reform of agricultural policy that will make the whole system
even more complicated, more inefficient, more susceptible to fraud, more bureaucratic and
much more expensive for ordinary people, who are expected to contribute both as taxpayers
and as consumers,

F. whereas the common agricultural policy pursued hitherto has had an undesirable impact on
the environment and public health among other things, and whereas the Commission has
acknowledged this fact without reservation in its communication,

G. wholeheartedly endorsing an agricultural reform that simultaneously benefits the environ ­

ment, offers a prospect of lower overall expenditure on the common agricultural policy and
paves the way for a new GATT agreement,

H. whereas the present price structure of the common agricultural policy encourages food

production with little concern for the rural environment,

I. having regard to the need for an active land use policy that recognizes the interaction
between agriculture and the environment and appropriately rewards farmers for their
indispensable contribution to maintaining and preserving the countryside,

J. pointing out that consumers are entitled to buy reasonably priced good quality food that is
not contaminated by pesticide residues or irradiated, making it impossible to judge how fresh
it really is,

K. whereas agriculture must remain an economic, commercial and social asset of vital

importance to the Community, and whereas it is also an essential activity for the preservation
of a meaningful lifestyle in less-favoured regions and for the protection of the environment,

1 . Reiterates its firm belief that the common agricultural policy must be reformed and
improved through the correction of its imbalances and inequalities, to respond to the enormous
pressure of budgetary, environmental and external trade interests now facing the agricultural
sector, with a view to guaranteeing an equitable standard of living for farmers in accordance with
the Treaty, although the fundamental principles of a single market, Community preference and
financial solidarity must be respected ; emphasizes that this reform must necessarily reduce
regional inequalities and that priority must be given to the principle of economic and social
cohesion ;

No C 13 / 88 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

2 . Stresses that reform of the common agricultural policy will be essential not only to conform
with a GATT settlement and to ensure the more efficient use of budgetary resources but also to
provide a positive future for Community agriculture ;

3 . Supports the need for fair distribution of aid granted through the common agricultural
policy, since no reform could be acceptable otherwise ; stresses that any reform of the common
agricultural policy must aim for a European agriculture which is sustainable in environmental
terms and from the point of view of regional and social development ; at the same time European
agriculture also needs to be efficient both as regards the international situation in this sector and
as regards developments in other sectors of the economy ; considers that the common agricultural
policy should recognize the multiple roles of farmers as cultivators, stewards of the environment
and dynamic agents of rural life ;

4 . Calls for the progressive reallocation of budgetary appropriations hitherto used for
organizations of the market and export refunds to measures designed to encourage extensive
farming ;

5 . Takes the view that the Commission proposals constitute a first step in the direction of a
fundamental reform of the CAP but that :

( a ) the Commission proposals should be examined as to their effects on

— farm incomes and employment,

— encouraging young people to take up farming,

— the family structure of farming,

— market stability,

— less-favoured regions, mountain regions or regions with specific disadvantages, and

regional employment,

— environmental protection,

— rural development and physical planning,

— the EC budget,

— international trade relations in an increasingly competitive international environment,

— the position of the developing countries and the developments in Eastern Europe,

— the economic and social situation of farmers,

— employment of all those working in the upstream and downstream sectors relating to

agriculture over the next five years,

( b ) the proposals to reduce prices, provide direct support and restrict production are an important

contribution towards restoring balance on the market for agricultural products and restoring
a sound basis for farmers ' incomes,

( c ) the cornerstone of economically responsible agriculture is an efficient marketing and sales

policy, backed up by a policy of direct income support to offset the social and ecological
disadvantages,

( d ) the income support measures introduced by the reform should be regarded as an integral and

permanent part of the organization of the market, understood and interpreted as an element of
socio-environmental balance in the Community and a factor of internal cohesion,

( e ) farmers should be compensated for losses due to the proposed price cuts by direct income

transfers, as long as they are consistent with GATT rules ;

6 . Calls for the reform to be carried out in cooperation with the farmers affected and for a
phased introduction of the new market regulation rules ;

7 . Regrets that the Commission has excluded from its reform proposals a whole range of
products, in particular products from the Mediterranean region and sugar ;

20 . . 92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 89

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

8 . Regards the task of overcoming the existing surpluses and adapting agricultural production
to disposal capacity as a significant aim of the reform of the common agricultural policy ;

9 . Considers that the reform of the CAP should, both for internal and external reasons, be
based on the fundamental objective of ensuring that the Community possesses an effective and
adequate agricultural sector which, incorporating various types and sizes of farm, produces food
and renewable raw materials in accordance with the marketing opportunities offered by the
internal and external markets and is compatible with the conservation, upkeep and development
of the environment and the rural landscape ; regards stabilization of farmers ' incomes as equally
important ;

10 . Is convinced that :

( a ) productive and environmentally acceptable agriculture which respects different territorial

needs in terms of the safeguarding of economic and social development, particularly in rural
areas, will continue to need external protection in accordance with GATT agreements,

( b ) the extent of external protection should be determined so as to ensure, on the basis of an

agreement in GATT and the requisite additional bilateral agreements, a balance between
safeguarding Community agriculture and related requirements in the field of environmental
protection and the interests of consumers on the one hand, and the necessary liberalization of
trade in agricultural products on the other, with particular reference to extending access to
the Community market for products from the developing countries and Eastern Europe,

( c ) an independent European farm price level above world market levels is justified on the

grounds of the strictness of European environmental and production standards ;

1 1 . Takes the view that, if carried out in isolation, neither measures concerning quantities nor
the use of prices as an instrument will be able to provide a lasting solution to the problem of
surpluses ;

12 . Advocates therefore that surpluses be tackled by an effective and balanced package of
measures combining a limitation of production and price management, which takes due account
of the specific conditions in individual production sectors and regions, the relationship between
such sectors and the income requirements of farmers in general and the family farm in particular,
and contributes to improving quality and strengthening the market and the competitiveness of
European agriculture ;

13 . Confirms the need to consider implementation of a policy to safeguard and enhance the
quality of Community agricultural and food products as an integral part of the reform ;

14 . Believes there is a need for effective adaptation to reduce the adverse effects on the
agricultural marketing mechanism ;

15 . Calls for the quantitative restrictions to be based on realistic internal and external disposal
opportunities and for positive development of market prices to be allowed ;

1 6 . Considers that more environment-friendly farming should be further encouraged by direct
payments to farmers, but stresses that this must be decoupled from production and tied to clear
environmental goals which could be set at local levels where appropriate ;

17 . Considers that the income losses to farmers arising from the price reductions and the
quantitative restrictions should be compensated for in full ;

18 . Considers that any compensatory payments should be made only to :

— those farms which participate in quantitative restrictions,

— small farms,

— farms already practising a form of extensive production,

— farms falling within the categories specified in mountain areas and less favoured areas ;

No C 13 / 90 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

19 . Believes, however, that if the compensatory payment is not sufficient to encourage
participation in measures to restrict production — for example if it is decided to reduce the prices
of market regulation products much less than provided for in the Commission proposal — a
system of co-responsibility levies ( market control contributions ) should be introduced, not only
for cereals but also for other arable market regulation products, from which arable farmers would
be exempt if they participate in the production control programme ;

20 . Considers that farmers should be encouraged to draw up an annual balance of their use of
mineral products so as to promote rational use of such products ;

21 . Urges that regulations limiting nitrogen input into the soil should also include nitrogen
input from animal excrement ( manure, dung );

22 . Recognizes that farmers should be rewarded for the public good they provide ( such as
maintenance of the environment ) for which there is no market ;

23 . Takes the view that measures to restrict production should create sufficient balance on the
European market for agricultural products so that, after completion of the measures envisaged,
public intervention should be the last resort ;

24 . Takes as its basis the level of production which guarantees food supplies, takes account of
traditional exports and makes possible food aid in a manner which is economically and
environmentally sustainable ;

25 . Considers that market forces should play a greater part in agricultural policy, and that the
principles of the internal market should apply to this area too ;

26 . Is of the opinion that an end should be put to the practice of dumping Community
agricultural products on the world market to the detriment of, especially, the developing
countries ; urges the Commission, therefore, to present rapidly proposals for a reform in the sugar
sector as proposed on numerous occasions by the European Parliament ;

27 . Points out that measures to contain production must, however, provide the necessary
income guarantees for potentially viable farms, and must in some way be subject to their capacity
and their ability to produce competitively in the medium to long term ;

28 . Calls for the hectare aid for arable farming proposed by the Commission and the premiums
for extensive livestock production to compensate for a reduction in the support prices and for
these payments to be long term in nature and consolidated in the EAGGF — Guarantee Section
such that farmers can rely on them ; also takes the view that these direct forms of aid should not be
regarded as measures to support production and should therefore not form part of the measures to
be phased out pursuant to GATT ;

29 . Takes the view that the Community must have an interest in preventing the further
isolation of agriculture from the general increase in prosperity by ensuring the survival of an
efficient and competitive Community agriculture ;

30 . Stresses that any attempts at renationalization of the common agricultural policy would
have an adverse effect on the growth and development of the poorer Member States, and
considers that genuine North-South regional solidarity is necessary in order to complement the
ideals of the construction of Europe ;

3 1 . Considers that, in order to combat the desertification of the less-favoured regions, it is
necessary to preserve the balance required for the viability of rural populations through the
release of funds to pay for work undertaken to ensure preservation of the landscape and the
environment ;

20 . 1 . 92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 91

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

32 . Considers that encouraging extensification, through the payment of direct compensatory
would income go aids into, rather the farmers than through ' pockets price and support thus help, has stabilize the advantage and upgrade that rural farm life subsidies ; really

33 . Advocates that land use in mountain areas and less-favoured areas should in future be
promoted by means of higher compensatory payments within the meaning of Directive
75 / 268 / EEC ;

34 . Considers that livestock unit measures in mountain and less-favoured areas should be
tailored to the requirements of environmentally sustainable agriculture in the area concerned ;

35 . Takes the view that the reform of the common agricultural policy should serve to preserve
many forms and types of efficient family farms and not lead to discrimination against certain
types and sizes of farms ;

36 . Calls for a clear distinction between extensification as a means of reducing the pressure on
the market and payment for specific environment-related activities such as afforestation and the
upkeep of the countryside ; believes that agricultural measures designed to implement EC
environmental legislation, which serve the interests of the Community as a whole, should be
funded fully by the Community budget ; measures for achieving national objectives should be
funded from national budgets ;

37 . Supports the Commission 's proposals to introduce measures to improve support for small
and medium-sized farms ; is, however, of the opinion that these measures should also apply to
farmers organized in producer groupings or producer cooperatives ;

38 . Believes that a continuous process of structural improvements in European agriculture is
necessary to safeguard its ( international ) competitive position, whilst taking into account the
appropriate social requirements in terms of the environment, the landscape, social development
and regional variety ;

39 . Considers that one of the main objectives of the reform should be to aid the installation of
the new generation of farmers ; believes that the Community must guard aganst measures which
would make it more difficult for young farmers to enter farming ; is of the opinion that the
Commission s proposals for a structural improvement through early retirement may substantial ­
ly contribute to the realization of this objective ; insists that this early retirement scheme must
apply equally to farmers, agricultural workers and women working on the farm ;

40 . Calls for a legal framework to ensure that there is no further soil, water or air pollution,
inter alia from agriculture ;

41 . Calls for improvements in the basic economic conditions for cultivation and use of
renewable raw materials ; considers that the use of renewable raw materials should be accepted as
an alternative to set-aside ;

42 . Takes the view, however, that support for the cultivation and use of renewable raw
materials should not lead to highly subsidized disposal facilities for agricultural products which
would be a burden on the budget for many years to come ; believes therefore that such support
measures should only be applied if there are realistic economic prospects for the disposal of such
products ;

43 . Therefore calls on the Commission to submit proposals for the identification of forms of
agricultural production for non-food uses which may fulfil the conditions of having such realistic
economic prospects for disposal ;

44 . Believes that set-aside alone will not provide a lasting solution to the problem of
surpluses ; is of the opinion that the set-aside programme can only play a new role in reducing
agricultural production if the aid per hectare is set at a sufficiently attractive level ; is of the
opinion that land set aside should be integrated in the environmental programmes and the
programmes for afforestation ;

No C 13 / 92 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

45 . Is convinced that the reform of the common agricultural policy must make a significant
contribution to preserving the stability of rural areas and the rural population and to strengthen ­

ing economic and social cohesion and to reducing regional inequalities ;

46 . Takes the view, however, that structural change in agriculture must also be accompanied
by appropriate structural, regional, social, environmental protection, transport and planning
policies ;

47 . Points out that in many instances in the areas of the Community where a significant
proportion of the working population is engaged in agriculture there are no resources available at
the national level to satisfy national co-financing of European structural measures, with the result
that the measures needed to improve the structure of agriculture cannot be satisfactorily
implemented ; advocates, therefore, that in future there should be full EC funding of the structural
policy, at least in the disadvantaged regions of the Community ;

48 . Warns of the danger of depopulation of rural areas where farms are too small or too
fragmented and the process of reorganization requires many years and substantial economic
input ;

49 . Considers that the reform of the common agricultural policy requires the reinforcement of
the socio-structural accompanying measures, and points out that in order to ensure its
Community implementation 's financial in the participation least-favoured will and have primarily to be inversely rural regions proportional of the to Community the regions ' level, the
of wealth ;

50 . Takes the view that :

( a ) reform of the CAP represents an essential supplement to more comprehensive measures for

the rural areas of the Community ; to this end calls on the Commission to draw up and
implement a Community rural development policy to formulate common guidelines and
coordinate synergetically the contributions from other related Community policies, in
particular environmental policy, energy and infrastructure policy, social policy, research and
technological development policy and tourism policy,

( b ) the planned review or reform of the Structural Funds, introduced by the Single Act in 1988,

should take due account of the consequences of reform of agricultural policy on the
socio-economic structure of agriculture and contribute to the implementation of appropriate
measures to support the necessary structural changes and guarantee balanced territorial
development ;

51 . Considers that in order to guarantee proper consideration of specific territorial needs,
regional and local authorities must be involved in the drafting, formulation and implementation
of plans to regionalize the management of income support schemes ;

52 . Calls for the adoption of measures aimed at achieving total harmonization of the
arrangements for implementing VAT in the agricultural sector as from the 1992 / 93 marketing
year, in order to prevent any distortions of competition of a fiscal nature ;

53 . Considers that there is also a need to institute, at Community level, an insurance scheme
for the agricultural sector with a view to alleviating the more serious problems likely to affect
farmers and stockbreeders, especially in periods of major difficulty, adverse weather conditions
or natural disasters ;

Regional aspects of the Commission 's proposals

54 . Recognizes that spending under the CAP has had only a marginal effect on reducing
regional disparities ;

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 93

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

55 . Urges the Commission, in accordance with its obligations under Article 39(2 ) of the EEC
Treaty, to prepare a report detailing the financial impact of the proposed measures on the national
economies of those Member States with a high dependence on agriculture ;

56 . Is of the opinion that the present structural policy must be improved and extended in order
to reduce existing structural inequalities ; is at the same time of the opinion that additional
measures are needed in order to arrive at a genuine policy for the development of the countryside,
concerned with the social and economic development of disadvantaged regions of the European
Community in areas other than the traditional agricultural policy ; to this end, a better integration
of the different structural funds should be achieved ;

57 . Believes that any reform package must take account of the high dependence on agriculture
in certain under-developed regions and, in particular, their dependence on a limited number of
products for which there are no alternatives and, furthermore, that consideration must be given to
their respective abilities to adapt and diversify their productive structures ;

58 . Believes that in certain regions where no alternative employment opportunities exist it is
better to provide direct income aid to low income farmers to maintain them on the land ;
considers, however, that such aids should be provided as an incentive to quality production rather
than as a direct hand-out and should be an integral part of any CAP reform package ;

59 . Takes the view, however, that structural improvements in agriculture must strengthen the
regional nature of social and environmental policy ;

60 . Stresses the importance of developing policies and funding to assist the food processing
sector in peripheral regions which will be affected by the new policy changes and of providing
assistance to facilitate research, product development and market re-orientation, thereby
preserving employment ;

6 1 . Calls on the Commission to indicate the impact of their proposals, in particular the effects
of modulation, on farm and rural population over the next decade, especially in the peripheral
regions ; this forecast should be published before the reform of the regional policy in 1994 ;

62 . Stresses the importance of adequate resources being made available to encourage
non-food production from the land ;

63 . Calls for reafforestation programmes to be integrated into the concept of regional
planning ;

64 . Believes that the financing of the measures to implement and accompany the reform must
be unequivocally assured ;

65 . Calls for the introduction as soon as possible of a detailed and objective information
campaign in all the Member States, involving regional and local institutions and agricultural and
rural organizations, to accompany and facilitate the initial phases of the reform ; in order to
guarantee a correct flow of information, calls for the structures already in operation in the
Community to be reinforced and directed towards the creation of rural information centres ­

Environmental aspects

66 . Criticizes the Commission proposals concerning the interaction between agriculture and
the environment as they are only of a very general nature and do not deal with the future common
agricultural policy as a coherent system, in which environmental protection, market policy and
policy on rural areas are directly linked and dependent on one another ;

67 . Calls for full integration of the environment into agricultural policy through recognition
by the Community that the CAP should also have explicit environmental objectives ;

No C 13 / 94 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

68 . Believes that the extensification promoted by the proposed reform of the common
agricultural policy offers an opportunity for improvements in farm animal welfare and calls upon
the Commission to encourage a move away from intensive animal husbandry systems ;

69 . With reference to its resolution of 19 February 1986 on agriculture and the environ ­
ment ('), calls for a change in agricultural policy to foster agriculture beneficial to the
environment ; recalls the need for a qualitative European agri-foodstuffs policy which recognizes
the consumers ' demands for good quality food at reasonable prices ;

70 . Believes that the Commission 's proposals will make a major contribution towards
extensification of production ; believes, however, that there is a need for specific application of
the environmental requirements proposed by the Commission for areas set aside ;

71 . Calls for decisive action in implementing the accompanying measures proposed by the
Commission for a programme of environmental protection in agriculture and for the afforestation
of agricultural land ;

72 . Calls for the areas which are taken out of agricultural production in the medium and long
term to be used to the extent required by biotopes to preserve the diversity of species and for
appropriate compensation to be provided to this end ;

73 . Advocates, for ecological reasons, EC-wide measures to reduce the use of inorganic
nitrogen ;

74 . Calls for Community legislation on quality, standards and permitted quantities of
pesticides and artificial fertilizers to be put forward in the form of minimum directives and
adopted by qualified majority in accordance with the cooperation procedure on a treaty basis
giving absolute priority to the environment ;

75 . Calls for Community agricultural policy to help achieve the North Sea Conference 's aim
of reducing nitrates by 50% ;

76 . Urges the Commission to take all necessary steps to implement with a minimum of delay
the proposal for a Council directive ( COM(88 ) 0708 ) concerning the protection of fresh, coastal
and marine waters against pollution caused by nitrates from diffuse sources ;

77 . Calls for a more coordinated policy for the food industry at Community level, with closer
integration between agricultural and other food policy objectives ;

78 . Proposes that the EC should support the creation and development of gene banks in order
to maintain genetic variety ;

Budgetary aspects

79 . ( a ) Notes in the proposal of the Commission the absence of a global strategy as well as of a
true objective : in reality it only consists of adjustments within the existing logic of price
support,

( b ) Calls for the financial resources of the Community to be used more efficiently,

( c ) Insists that the existing guideline for agricultural spending from the EAGGF — Guarantee

Section should be maintained for the next five-year period ; after this period the question of
whether a further reduction in agricultural expenditure can be achieved should be
considered,

( d ) Considers it necessary to use financial resources in such a way that they can be easily

monitored and abuses prevented ;

80 . Considers that the reform of the CAP should be based on the following principles :

( a ) the guideline should be laid down in such a way as to remain the budgetary point of reference

for agricultural spending so that its growth is below that of budget as a whole,

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 95

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

( b ) agricultural expenditure must be forecast ahead more precisely,

( c ) in the long term, support for the agricultural sector must be based increasingly on

mechanisms other than price support, which would be compatible with the commitments
which will probably be entered into within GATT,

( d ) the Community budget will also have to support the preservation of the environment, the

economic development of rural regions and the social consequences of reform,

( e ) agricultural support arising from this will have to be compatible with other ends pursued by

the Community, for example economic and social cohesion ;

8 1 . Believes that there is a need for an unambiguous redefinition of guarantee and structural
expenditure ; expenditure on market and price policy and direct aid under the EAGGF —
Guarantee Section and the accompanying measures, set-aside measures and other structural
measures should be financed from the EAGGF — Guidance Section ;

82 . Considers it essential that the financial resources required for the implementation of the
reform and, in particular, for the compensatory payments should be released ;

83 . Considers it necessary to ensure, under whatever circumstances, a stable income for
farmers and to share the benefits of the reform on an equitable basis between producers and

consumers ;

84 . Demands that the mechanisms introduced out of a desire to create stable revenue for
farmers should not be transformed into something of great rigidity, and that improvements in
technology should not provide an incentive to further production, something which goes contrary
to the principles of good financial management ;

85 . Believes that farmers must be offered compensation for such a major change in policy and
considers that this compensation, which farmers would receive in return for the gradual
dismantling of price protection, should meet the three following criteria :

( a ) the terms of the compensation should be clearly defined in advance : the imperative of a

stable source of revenue makes it necessary that the aids should not be discussed every year,

( b ) this compensation must not become an encouragement to increase production,

( c ) those who benefit from this compensation will have to be only farmers ;

86 . Points out that, in line with budgetary discipline, the Council is required to refrain from
adopting any legislative acts entailing an obligation under the budget ;

87 . Calls on the Council, when addressing CAP reform, to take account of the need to do away
with the compulsory nature of expenditure and to make the whole of the expenditure subject to
Parliament 's budgetary powers, as called for in Parliament 's resolution of 24 October 1991 on
the classification of expenditure in the budget (');

88 . Deplores once again the lax behaviour of the Member States in monitoring policy ; points
to the need for simple, transparent and effective control instruments ; calls for greater powers for
the Commission to monitor the Member States and to impose financial penalties on Member
States failing to comply with their obligations ;

Trade aspects

89 . Recognizes that agriculture does not exist in isolation from other economic activity, but is
one important link in the food chain that brings together the interests of farmers, food
manufacturers, retailers, consumers, environmentalists, taxpayers and those concerned with the
impact of these matters on developing countries ;

90 . Stresses the globality of the whole round and the need for a comprehensive, substantial
and balanced agreement on the trade negotiations ; underlines, nevertheless, that worldwide rules
regarding trade in agriculture have become the key to success of the Uruguay Round ;

(') Minutes of that date, Part II, Item 4 .

No C 13 / 96 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1 . 92

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

91 . Recalls the commitment to a substantial and progressive reduction of overall agricultural
support and protection to the farm sector undertaken by all GATT contracting parties at the
mid-term review of the Uruguay Round ;

92 . Stresses that the multilateral trade negotiations do not only concern trade in agriculture,
but include many other subjects of great importance to all Member States for the strengthening
and future evolution of a liberal world trading system and for securing economic prosperity and
democracy in Central and Eastern Europe ;

93 . Points out that a successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round would be in the interest not
only of industrialized countries, but also of developing countries ;

94 . Believes that contracting parties should agree on procedureis for joint efforts to stabilize
world markets of agricultural products, and to eliminate dumping practices, which would provide
particularly a sound basis for self-reliance policies in food production for the developing
countries ;

95 . Welcomes the Commission proposals for a reinforcement of the environmental sustain ­
ability of agriculture by the introduction of an environmental programme for agriculture ; is of the
opinion that further measures are necessary to increase the environmental standard in agricul ­
ture ; is of the opinion that during the GATT negotiations these measures should be respected by
all contracting parties and that efforts should be made to include such environmental standards in
a future GATT agreement ;

96 . Welcomes the progress made on a technical level by GATT Director-General Arthur
Dunkel, in particular on the concept of tarification, acceptance of which would constitute a major
change in the CAP and should have to be considered as an important concession on the part of the
EC in order to overcome the deadlock of the GATT negotiations ;

97 . Looks forward with great interest to the proposals for an overall agreement on the Uruguay
Round negotiations to be presented by the GATT Director-General and resolves to play its part in
the difficult political decisions necessary to achieve a successful conclusion in agricultural

matters ;

98 . In encouraging the Commission and the Council to reach agreement with the trading
partners of the Community :

— would support an across-the-board reduction of 30% to be achieved over five years from the

reference base year, due credit being taken into account for reduced levels of support
implemented since 1986,

— would support a safeguard clause, denominated in national currencies ( i.e. for the

Community in ecus ), sufficient to eliminate import surges resulting from excessive volume
and / or price fluctuations,

— would support the introduction of a tariff quota for cereal substitutes, sufficient to prevent

trade distortions caused by artificial price differentials between cereals and substitutes, set at
a level that fully reflects traditional trade flows,

— would support the introduction of specific binding ceilings on direct export subsidies in all

relevant product sectors, but with additional disciplines for the most sensitive products,

— would support the inclusion of an annual monitoring procedure, with a Ministerial Review

after five years, which would be committed to agreeing further reductions in support where
the elimination of any trade distortions so required ;

99 . Is further convinced that an acceptable agreement on reductions in internal support close
to of the ' GATT EC November boxes '; endorses 1990 proposals therefore can the be idea reached of a ' blue if agreement box ' between is also the reached amber on and the green definition boxes
to accommodate remaining differences — not least over the indirect effects on trade of
deficiency payments and similar schemes ;

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 97

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

100 . Calls for the social and environmental aspects of agriculture to be taken into account in
GATT agreements ;

101 . Considers that agriculture must not be treated as a bargaining counter in trade relations
with third countries ;

1 02 . Is of the opinion that any reform of the CAP should be in conformity with the foreseeable
result of the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations ;

103 . Recalls that the main objectives of the agricultural trade negotiations are :

— improvement of market access,

— substantial and progressive reduction of export subsidies,

— substantial and progressive reduction of internal support ;

104 . Recognizes that there are many good reasons beside trade considerations for a
fundamental reform of the CAP ; stresses at the same time that any such reform must take into
account its effects on world trade in agricultural and food products ;

105 . Calls for improved disposal facilities for the products of developing countries on the
European market in order to improve the position of such countries ; steps should also be taken to
prevent a policy of dumping which is encouraged by export subsidies ;

106 . Believes that the Commission proposal, with greater emphasis on the separation of
income support from market support, would contribute to all of the three objectives of the GATT
negotiations on agricultural trade, because a reduction of the internal support price level would
reduce the need to subsidize EC agricultural exports, would reduce the need to charge high
import levies on agricultural products from third countries, thereby improving market access,
and would reduce in the long run the overall support of the agricultural sector ;

107 . Stresses that if the reform measures are mainly quantitative limitations, the adverse
repercussions on market access for third countries and the disruption of the world market caused
by export aids will have to be paid for in the form of reduced export possibilities for other
products or development aid and that this must be justified in terms of overall economic figures ;

108 . Believes that a substantial reduction of the internal price level in the cereals sector with
consequent benefits to the livestock sector, especially in the cereal production areas, is the key to
overcoming the deadlock of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture ;

109 . Points out that such a price reduction would provide some justification for the EC 's
request for a ' rebalancing ', because only a moderate tariff rate on imports of grain substitutes
would then be necessary to eliminate the existing distortions between different sorts of cereals
for animal feedingstuffs ;

1 1 0 . Stresses that due regard should be given to the situation of the food processing industry in
the EEC and its competitiveness on the world market, which implies that export refunds for
processed agricultural products should not be reduced by more than the internal price level of
non-processed inputs of that industry ;

111 . Is convinced that the reform proposals of the Commission would entail a reduction of
overall agricultural support and protection by more than the 30% which the EC has offered so far
in the GATT negotiations and which our trading partners regarded as insufficient ;

1 12 . Advocates, in the interests of both sides, the inclusion in the forthcoming cooperation
agreement of clear rules to govern imports of agricultural products from Central and Eastern
Europe ;

- No C 13 / 98 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

113 . In view of the declared wish of a substantial number of EFTA and Central European
states to become full members of the Community, calls for an assessment of the mechanisms that
would lead to a coherent common agricultural and food policy by the year 2000 ;

1 14 . Stresses the importance of improved market access for agricultural products especially
from Central and Eastern European countries for their economic reconstruction and insists that
the reform of the CAP must provide for an appropriate level of market access for these countries ;

115 . Calls on the European Council to give its unconditional support to the objective of
reaching a GATT agreement by the end of this year and honour the undertakings given at the G-7
summit in London to ensure a successful outcome to the Uruguay Round negotiations ;

Development aspects

116 . Calls for the agricultural products of the developing countries, and especially the
signatory countries to the Lome Convention, to be given fair export prices on the European
market ; stresses, however, that this is not the only road to development for those countries which
aim to export agricultural and food products to the Community market ; and considers that
development should be primarily a matter of their internal consumer markets, and that exports to
external markets, including that of the Community, should be considered only as supplementary
and not as the one and only solution for their need to expand production ;

117 . Stresses once again its opinion that the Community 's agricultural policy has a
considerable effect on the agricultural production and exports of developing countries and in
particular that its agricultural exports can generate a number of major prejudicial effects in the
developing countries concerned ;

118 . Recalls that it advocated for many years the need for a revision of the CAP, and
expressed the opinion that the policy conducted for some years now by the Community with a
view to creating a better balance between supply and demand on Community agricultural
markets and gradually eliminating its agricultural surpluses as a result is both constructive and
beneficial for the developing countries ;

1 19 . Stresses that the analysis made by the Commission concerning its proposals on the prices
for agricultural products for the marketing year 1991 / 92 underlines e.g. the chronic, growing,
structural imbalance in respect of many products, the recent accumulation of public stocks, the
fall in prices on the world market and therefore makes it clear that the modifications introduced
so far in the CAP are notably insufficient ;

1 20 . Welcomes the statement made in the Commission 's reflections paper according to which
the Community must recognize the existence of international interdependence and accept its
responsibilities as the leading world importer and second leading exporter ;

121 . Deeply regrets however that no mention is made in the two communications of the
specific situation and needs of the developing countries ; asks the Commission to present a
Communication to the Council and Parliament on the specific situation and needs of developing
countries ;

122 . Believes that a reformed CAP should include procedures for joint efforts to stabilize
world markets of agricultural products, which would eliminate dumping practices, thus
providing a sound basis for self reliance politics in food production for developing countries ;

123 . Stresses that any attempt to revise the CAP must take into consideration the urgent need
to grant a better access to Community market for both the processed and non-processed
agricultural exports of the developing countries taking into account the social and environmental
costs of production and transport and asks for a progressive removal of tariff and non-tariff
barrier on agricultural products from developing countries ;

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 99

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

124 . Stresses nevertheless the importance and the necessity of specific agreements with
developing countries to ensure an appropriate level of market access for both the processed and
non-processed agricultural exports of developing countries ;

125 . Calls for short-term extra support to be given to those least developed non-exporting
countries which stand to lose from an increase in world prices ;

126 . Points out that it is of crucial importance for a successful CAP-reform that the main
emphasis should not be put on quantitative production control measures, but on a balanced mix
of those measures and price reductions ;

127 . Emphasizes that the need to achieve a more effective supply control on Community
markets should not in any way overlook the fact that the Community has more than ever to
continue to be in a position to supply the developing countries with satisfactory quantities of a
number of agricultural products, both on a commercial basis and in the context of specially
adapted food aid programmes which fit into their agricultural and rural development processes ;

128 . Asks the Commission to propose the creation of an impact assessment mechanism to
measure the impact of EC policy proposals in the field of agriculture on developing countries ;

129 . Considers that it is necessary to increase funding for measures in the field of research,
infrastructure ( access to markets ) and marketing ;

130 . Welcomes the suggestion to recognize the need for a stable multiannual framework for
agricultural policy to replace the present year by year approach ; notes that such an approach
would be more consistent with the approach followed in most fields of the development policy
e.g. the Lome Convention, the new Latin-American and Asian framework, the new GSP
approach ;

131 . Once again stresses the importance of a regional approach in promoting food security in
developing countries ;

132 . Is in agreement that a revised agricultural policy must fully recognize the farmer 's dual
role as a producer with special responsibility for animal health and product quality, and as a
protector of the environment in connection with the development of rural areas ; recalls that for
many years both the European Parliament and the ACP-EEC Joint Assembly have consistently
championed this point of view with regard to the formulation and implementation of a
development policy for rural areas in the developing countries ; is firmly convinced that the
farmer 's potential role in this respect is the same in the Community as it is in the developing
countries, and that in this connection every consideration must be given to environmental issues ;

1 33 . Believes that a more stable world market which is a better reflection of the real cost prices
of agricultural products is a sine qua non for an independent food production policy of
developing countries ;

Social aspects

134 . Considers that there is a need for the introduction of genuine social measures related to
the evolution of the farming population, and that the authorities should give priority to tackling
the problem of the ageing of the Community 's farming population on the basis of attractive early
retirement packages, to be funded by the Community ;

1 35 . Considers that vocational training should be one of the essential accompanying measures
to the reform of the common agricultural policy, so as to encourage the retraining of farmers in
new forms of cultivation and farm management, while also giving prominence to the potential
role of women in the renewal of productive activity ;

No C 13 / 100 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Wednesday, 11 December 1991

136 . Considers that, in order to give full value to the work of women on family farms,
provision should be made to ensure that direct income support is expressly granted to both
members of a couple where it is not possible to grant such support on an individual basis in
accordance with the person 's particular work on the farm ;

137 . Believes that it is essential, given that the common agricultural policy primarily affects
farmers, that it should fully respect the Community principles of economic and social cohesion
and the social dimension of agriculture ;

138 . Believes that the common agricultural policy should contribute to the reduction of
regional imbalances and individual inequalities, thus enhancing the economic efficiency of the

sector ;

139 . Considers that the common agricultural policy should be based on the principle of the
dual role of farmers as both producers and managers of the environment and agents of rural
development ;

140 . Points out that rural development is absolutely crucial to the harmonious and balanced
development of Europe on the basis of the single market and the preservation and promotion of
the socio-cultural model of rural society ;

141 . Stresses that, where aids and compensations, or the related penalizations, are determined
oh the basis of rules or mathematical criteria alone, they should be selective, to ensure that they
do not result in the maintenance of existing distortions or the appearance of new ones ;

142 . Calls for mechanisms to be set up to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of income at
regional and sectoral level ;

143 . Believes that action piust be taken, especially in the form of accompanying measures,
both to encourage rural populations to rdmain in their communities — especially in cases of
cessation of farming or afforestation — and to reverse the drift from the countryside ;

144 . Considers that, since unemployment will arise in the sector from the reform of the
common agricultural policy as much as from its failure, it is essential to ensure the simultaneous
adoption of specific accompanying measures, especially retraining of workers and early
retirement ;

145 . Believes that it is essential to discourage intensification of farming and encourage
extensification, in order to conserve the environment and natural resources, promote suitable
regional planning and enhance the quality and purity of products ;

146 . Stresses that such a policy must, however, take account of regional diversity and the
existing structures and modes of agriculture, especially in cases where farming has tended to be
extensive, with due attention to the degree of extensification involved ;

147 . Believes that the reformed common agricultural policy must allow the efficient family
farm to prosper and survive ;

148 . Notes that there is, consequently, a vital need for mechanisms for technological support
and aid to marketing and distribution ;

149 . Stresses that it is especially important to encourage young farmers, whether actual or
potential, particularly through education and vocational training, as essential factors for the
future of the sector and rural development ;

150 . Is of the opinion that the Commission communication of 1 February 1991 may be
considered a satisfactory response as regards the main objectives of the common agricultural
policy and its reform ;

151 . Believes it is vital to introduce a far-reaching reform of the common agricultural policy
on the basis of clear principles and objectives and the creation of carefully defined mechanisms ;
the reform must be adopted as a whole and simultaneously, even if its actual application is phased
in gradually, in the light of the measures involved and the existing situation ;

1 . Approval of minutes

The minutes of the previous sitting were approved .

The following spoke :

— Mrs Braun-Moser, who hoped that in future only
one supplementary question would be allowed to ques ­
tions tabled during Question Time . This would allow
Question Time to include more questions and take
place in a more orderly fashion ( the President drew her
attention to the provisions of Annex II to the Rules of
Procedure );

— Mr Blak, who referred to his remarks the previous
day ( part I, item 1 of minutes ) on what he regarded as
the discrimination suffered by members from the
smaller countries, and asked for the Danish press office
to be given the necessary staff ( the President replied
that neither the presidency nor the Bureau had been
aware of staff problems in the press office during the
budgetary procedure but said he was willing to exam ­
ine the matter so as to avoid any discrimination );

— Mr Fitzgerald - who congratulated the President of
the sitting concerned on his conduct of Question Time
and who hoped, for his part, that the Commission
would reply more concisely to questions put to it ;

many questions had not received replies as their
authors had not been present ; he appealed both to
Members and to the Bureau to re-examine the relevant
provisions of the Rules of Procedure covering Question
Time ( the President replied that it was up to the authors
of questions to be present in the Chamber during Ques ­
tion Time );

— Mr Christiansen, who hoped that Mr Blak would
receive a reply to the matter he had raised during his
remarks the previous day and that same morning ( the

President replied that this matter should be raised
within the bodies concerned and reaffirmed his opposi ­
tion to all forms of discrimination );

— Mr Barros Moura, who explained the reasons
which had led him to resign as Member of Parliament,
which had originated in disagreements with his party

leadership following the stand it had taken during the
coup in the USSR ;

ber .

PART II

Texts adopted by the European Parliament

1. General budget for 1992 — ECSC operating budget for 1992

( a ) A3-0361 / 91

RESOLUTION

on the draft ECSC operating budget for 1992

The European Parliament,

— having regard to the aide-memoire from the Commission on the fixing of the ECSC levy rate

and on the drawing up of the ECSC operating budget for 1992 ( SEC(91 ) 2124 —
C3-0408 / 91 ),

— having regard to the Commission communication on the future of the ECSC Treaty

( SEC(91 ) 0407 of 15 March 1991 ),

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets and the opinions of the Committee

on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, the Committee on Energy,
Research and Technology and the Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the
Working Environment ( A3-0361 / 91 ),

A. whereas the ECSC operating budget for 1992 marks the beginning of the final decade of

existence in law of this Community, since, under normal circumstances, the Treaty of Paris
which established it will expire in 2002,

B. whereas the objective that the Treaty of Paris should expire in 2002 was reaffirmed by the
Commission in its communication SEC(91 ) 0407 on the future of the European Coal and
Steel Community,

C. whereas the Commission has undertaken to submit new guidelines as to the budgetary and
financial implications, including borrowing and lending operations, of the option that has
been adopted, which is that the ECSC Treaty should expire as originally scheduled,

D. whereas, pending those new guidelines, the ECSC operating budget can be regarded as a

transitional budget, though it enables some of Parliament 's positions to be acted on now,

E. whereas those positions may have both budgetary and financial implications as early as

1992, in particular with regard to borrowing and lending operations and the reserves,

1 . Notes with satisfaction that there are ever closer links between the budgetary framework for
the ECSC and the budgetary framework for the EEC ;

2 . Is of the opinion that the overall volume of expenditure for 1992, especially in the social
sector, is insufficient and proposes an increase of the aids for redeployment ( Article 56 ) to
ECU 170 million The increase in expenditure of ECU 12 million should be provided by
additional appropriations from the reserves and by adjusting accordingly the item ' net balance
for the previous financial year ' ;

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 131

Thursday, 12 December 1991

3 . Insists that research appropriations be maintained at a satisfactory level with a view to
promoting production, and the disposal of products from, those two industrial sectors ; calls for an
increase of ECU 5 million in research appropriations, which will also be offset by increasing the
net balance accordingly ;

4 . Calls on the Commission to maintain this annual level of commitment and to submit a study
on the fostering of research in coming years in the coal sector in particular, with a view to
establishing the volume of resources needed, as part of a genuine Community energy policy, to
maintain the position of coal as a viable energy source in the long term ;

5 . Insists that budget spending for 1992 should take full account, both in aid for research and
in aid in the form of interest subsidies, of the new factor represented by the environment ;

6 . Notes the global proposal concerning resources and the apportionment as between, on the
one hand, resources from a 0,28% levy and, on the other, resources derived from financial
management of that Community ;

7 . Takes the view that the Court of Auditors ' conclusions on the need for borrowing and
lending operations and the overall volume of reserves to be in balance can be construed in favour
of greater flexibility that would enable additional appropriations to be provided from the reserves
without calling into question that balance, particularly in view of the fact that the recommended
management ratios ought to be improved as a result of an increase in reserves after the next
payment by Germany of its share in respect of the former GDR ;

8 . Calls therefore on the Commission to lower the levy rate for the 1992 budget to 0,27%,
which will be offset by drawing the corresponding monies from the reserves and by adjusting
accordingly the item ' net balance for the previous financial year ';

9 . Insists that the Commission should submit to the European Parliament as soon as possible,
for its opinion, its conclusions as to the budgetary and financial implications of the expiry of the
ECSC Treaty in 2002, together with the budgetary and financial plans for these activities ;

10 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution and the decisions of the European
Parliament concerning the fixing of the ECSC levy rate and the drawing up of the ECSC
operating budget for 1992 to the Commission .

( b ) A3-0365 / 91

RESOLUTION

on the draft general budget of the European Communities for the financial year 1992 Section III
— Commission as modified by the Council and on letter of amendment No 1 to the draft budget

for 1992

The European Parliament,

— having regard to the draft budget for 1992, as amended and accompanied by proposed

modifications, that emerged from the second reading by the Council ( C3-0375 / 91 ),

— having regard to letters of amendment Nos 2 ( SEC(9 1 ) 1713 ) and 3 ( SEC(9 1 ) 208 1 ) to the

preliminary draft budget for 1992,

— having regard to letter of amendment No 1 to the draft budget for 1 992 ( C3-0405 / 9 1 ),

— having regard to its deliberations at first reading on 24 October 1991 ('),

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets ( A3-0365 / 9 1 ),

(') Minutes of that date . Part II, Item 2(a ).

No C 13 / 132 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Thursday, 12 December 1991

A. having regard to its previous decisions seeking to focus particular attention during this

budgetary procedure on the Community 's existing policies with a view to the implementa ­
tion of the Single Act in 1 992, and noting that the Council has opted for an approach that is
diametrically opposed, in that it gives absolute priority to new external aid at the expense of
existing policies,

B. recalling that, with particular regard to the new external aid requirements, the Commission

and Parliament came out in favour of a revision of the financial perspective,

C. whereas, following the Maastricht European Council on 9 and 10 December 1991,

substantial and prompt revision of the financial perspective is more urgent than ever,

Second reading of the draft budget

1 . Regrets that the Council, at second as at first reading, has not taken account of Parliament 's
budgetary priorities ;

2 . Regrets the fact that, even after the Maastricht European Council, it has not been possible,
on the eve of Parliament 's second reading, to reach agreement on the revision of the financial
perspective ;

3 . Has therefore reinstated almost all the amendments it tabled at first reading, including :

— an appropriation for improving the early warning system relating to trends in agricultural

expenditure,
— appropriations for research and development policy at a level commensurate with the

agreements reached between Parliament and the Commission during the legislative
conciliation procedure on the framework programme for 1990-1994,

— appropriations not approved by the Council for internal policies under heading 4, as well as

for North-South relations,

— the corresponding administrative appropriations ;

4 . Has kept in the budget, in the form of a reserve which can not be made available until the
financial perspective has been revised as proposed by Parliament on 24 October 1991, the
appropriations approved at first reading subject to revision of the financial perspective :

— ECU 860 million in aid for the Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe,

— ECU 300 million in humanitarian aid,

— ECU 300 million with a view to bringing the Structural Funds into line with the real rate of

inflation,

— ECU 100 million in aid for measures to save the tropical rainforests,

— ECU 100 million for administrative expenditure arising from the new tasks conferred on the

Commission ;

5 . Has regarded the modifications made by the Council to Item B7-5075 in excess of
Amendment No 575 as a letter of amendment to the initial draft budget and has reduced it to the
amount remaining available under heading 4 of the financial perspective ;

6 . Welcomes the fact that the gap between the positions of the Council, Commission and
Parliament on administrative expenditure, with particular regard to the abolition of mini-budgets
and the Commission 's additional requirements in human resources, has been narrowed ; hopes
that the outstanding differences, including that concerning the creation of a new section for
interinstitutional expenditure, may be settled through interinstitutional dialogue before the
beginning of the 1993 budgetary procedure ;

Letter of amendment No 1 / 92

7 . Restates its opposition to the lax application of Article 14 of the Financial Regulation,
which lays down that, ' save in very exceptional circumstances ', a letter of amendment must be
submitted to Parliament at least 1 5 days prior to its first reading of the original draft budget ;

20 . . 92 Official Journal of the European Communities NoC 13 / 133

Thursday, 12 December 1991

8 . Concludes that, in the light of the conditions laid down in Article 203 of the EEC Treaty, it
is not possible to consider the letter of amendment ;

9 . Rejects, therefore, the letter of amendment and calls on the Commission to submit a
preliminary draft supplementary budget at the start of 1992 ;

                               

                               -                               

10 . Instructs its President to forward these budgetary decisions to the Commission and
Council .

RESOLUTION

on the changes made by the Council to Parliament 's amendments to Sections I ( Parliament ),
II ( Council — Annex : Economic and Social Committee ), IV ( Court of Justice ) and V ( Court of
Auditors ) of the draft general budget of the European Communities for the financial year 1992

The European Parliament,

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

— having regard to the amendments adopted by Parliament at first reading on 24 October 1 99 1

and its resolution of 24 October 1991 on the draft budget for the financial vear 1992
( Sections I, II, IV and V ) ( 2 ),

—
having regard to the Council 's decisions of 12 November 1991 on the draft budget as

amended and modified by Parliament at first reading ( C3-0375 / 91 ),

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets ( A3-0359 / 91 ),

A. whereas the amendments tabled by Parliament to its own budget were not modified by the
Council,

B. whereas the amendments tabled by Parliament to the budgets of the other institutions were

treated more severely and in an uneven fashion by the Council, without it giving any reasons
for its decisions,

1 . Decides to reinstate all the amendments which it adopted at the first reading of the draft
budget in respect of the Economic and Social Committee, the Court of Justice and the Court of
Auditors which were not linked to a revision of the financial perspective and which were rejected
by the Council ;

2 . Considers that these increases are necessary to allow the institutions concerned to discharge
their duties in an effective manner ;

3 . Reiterates the view it expressed at first reading concerning the amendments to the budget of
the Court of Justice for staff salaries and rent which were expressly linked to a revision of the
financial perspective ; decides therefore to reintroduce the two amendments concerned, it being
understood that of the total amount, ECU 1 225 million are contingent upon a revision of the
perspective being agreed ;

The aim of the COPERNICUS action is the creation of a network of science and social sci ­

ence departments in universities throughout Europe, as the basis for a European research
community .

The EAST ( European Assistance for Science and Technology ) action is aimed at accelerat ­
ing changes in research structures and consolidating scientific and technological potential in
the countries of Central and Eastern Europe .

The GREEN ( General Research in Environment for Eastern Nations ) action is aimed at the
acquisition and development of knowledge and S & T resources for abatement of pollution
from energy and industrial production .

These actions will be carried out through :

— the organization of workshops and conferences as well as mobility programmes for re ­

searchers and experts from both the Community and the countries of Central and East ­
ern Europe ;

— R & D joint activities aimed at increasing transfer of technology and know-how ;

REMARKS

The Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development, at its meeting of 19 June

1991, assessed the status of genetic resources conservation in the Community with a series of
experts and the Commission . Despite past requests from Parliament, the Community has no
independent programme or budget line for genetic resources activities . Activities carried out
by the formal ( genebanks ) and informal ( associations ) sectors are gravely underfunded and
are inadequate to meet the challenge of consumer demands, environmentally sound agricul ­
tural practices and the needs of plant breeding to improve crops for changing needs . The
Member States currently spend approximately ECU 6 million per year on conservation of
plant genetic resources for the future of food production . In comparison, the USA currently
spends $20 million, but the US Department of Agriculture estimates that this budget should
be raised to $40 million to be able to conserve these resources properly . A long-term and
sustainable policy and budget for the management of genetic resources involving the formal
and informal sectors is urgently needed .

Proposed budget line : EC programme on the conservation of plant genetic resources

1992 : ECU 2 million

1993 : ECU 4 million

1994 : ECU 6 million

1995 : ECU 8 million

REMARKS

In 1991, too, the exceptional events in Central and Eastern Europe have caused considerable
difficulties in the Community 's sensitive regions, i.e. peripheral regions affected by the new
trade concessions to countries benefiting from the PHARE programme, and regions facing
major structural problems both because of arms industry conversion to civil production and
because of cuts in military installations .

In the spirit of the integrated Mediterranean programmes, then, specific local measures are
required to enable the regions and activities concerned to overcome these unexpected handi ­

caps .

Paragraph 1 :

Including the appropriations entered in Item B 8-3410 the total amount for these measures is
ECU 15 000 000 ( 1991 : ECU 1 1 700 000 .

Add :

European Parliament resolution of 13 September 1990 on the Commission 's action pro ­
gramme on the implementation of the Community Charter of Basic Social Rights of Work ­
ers-Priorities for 1991-1992 ( OJ No C 260, 15 . 10 . 1990, p. 167 ), in particular Part I and
paragraph 26 .

These appropriations must be made available exclusively to women since local employment
initiatives are the only programme in the Community of subsidies allocated to businesses set
up by women . Experience shows moreover that Community support to the women con ­
cerned facilitates access to other national aid programmes or to bank credit .

Final paragraph :

This appropriation is intended to cover the promotion of specific employment-creating pro ­
jects against the background of completion of the internal market that will necessarily have

an other than favourable impact in some sectors and regions . These appropriations should
also be used to finance retraining programmes for customs officials .

Actions for the resettlement of offenders on the labour market should also be supported .

Thursday, 12 December 1991

REMARKS

Amend as follows :

Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1365 / 75 of 26 May 1975 on the creation of a European Foun ­
dation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions ( OJ No L 139, 30 . 5 . 1975, p.

1 ).

The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions falls in
with the environmental action programme, which provides for it expressly, and the social
action programme .

The appropriation is intended to cover the subsidy for the Foundation, including 4 new
posts (1 B 5 and 3 C 5 ) and upgrading of existing posts (4 A 5 to A 4, 2 LA 5 to LA 4, 2 A 6
to A 5, 3 A 7 to A 6, 2 C 3 to C 2 and 1 D 2 to D 1 ) to accord with the requirements of Coun ­
cil Regulation No 680 / 87 of 23 February 1987 amending the Foundation 's staff regulations
as requested by the Administrative Board of the Foundation .

The estimated revenue and expenditure in the financial year is as follows :

Revenue l

Chapter 1 ΈEC subsidy ' 10 585 000
Chapter 2 ' Sundry revenue ' 200 000

Total 10 785 000

These appropriations include ECU 1 585 000 to cover expenditure connected with the neces ­
sary extension of the buildings of the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living
and Working Conditions .

In view of the growing importance of the social dimension of the internal market, and the
recognized role of the Foundation in providing the necessary advice and information, this
increase is essential to maintain the high level of efficiency which, with the support of both
sides of industry, the Foundation has reached in the application of its resources to an impor ^
tant programme of work and in meeting rapidly growing demands from the Community In ­
stitutions and the Social Partners .

The additional finance for completion of an extension to the Foundation 's buildings in pro ­
cess of construction is non-recurrent . The adjustments to the staff table include provision to

No C 13 / 284 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Thursday, 12 December 1991

meet the requirements of financial control in the Foundation, for the Greek and Italian lan ­
guages, currently dealt with by temporary staff, and to bring the staff table into line with the
Foundation 's new staff regulations .

REMARKS

Add :
These appropriations should also be used to set up a European coordination service for act ­
ion against organized crime which is directly or indirectly linked to the production of and
trafficking in drugs, this service to be in the Commission 's Directorate-General for the inter ­
nal market and industrial affairs .

This service should undertake the following tasks :

( a ) analysis and study of the phenomenon of major crime on a Europe-wide basis, in parti ­

cular in terms of economics, the movement of goods, capital and people ;

( b ) provide coordination and set up a framework of contacts for each Member State through

regular contacts with the police and judicial authorities of the states concerned and the
mutual exchange of data ;

( c ) canvassing, simulation and preparation of comparative tables to initiate a preventive

strategy in particular in the areas referred to under ( a );

( d ) the drawing up of proposals with a view to the introduction and definition of the concept
of a ' Community offence '.

The numerous difficulties faced by organizations responsible for combating drug abuse are
exacerbated by the lack of information and precise data, statistics, etc . on this subject and by
the lack of coordination between the various organizations compiling such data . Similarly,
this data is not properly disseminated . A European organization should therefore be set up
capable of establishing, compiling and coordinating all data and information of use in the
campaign against drug abuse . That organization, a European information bureau, must also
be endowed with the resources it needs to disseminate and publish the data and information
it had centralized, thereby providing a tool for all organizations and individuals active in the
campaign against drug abuse .

Take over the remarks to lines B 3-442 and B 3-443 in the preliminary draft budget .

REMARKS

This article contains commitments to be disbursed in connection with ACE, ACNAT, MED ­

Without the extra amount of ECU 42 500 000, LIFE would amount to no more than token
compensation .

awareness campaigns at national and European level, and promotes studies in child ­
oriented product development . This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of consul ­

REMARKS

The existing references to the campaign to combat racism and xenophobia should be main ­
tained together with reference to the European Human Rights Foundation, but the other re ­
marks should be amended to read as follows :

This appropriation is intended to cover the grant of aid to organizations pursuing humani ­
tarian aims and promoting human rights . It can also be used to cover the administrative
costs resulting from the administration of the budgetary line and for the inspection of pro ­
jects which have received grants .

This appropriation is allocated for projects to be undertaken in non-Community states ( de ­
veloping countries, Eastern European countries and others ), as well as in the Community in
the form of grants to :

— support rehabilitation centres for torture victims and other organizations offering con ­

crete help to victims of human rights abuses which should continue to receive the same
proportion of funding from the line as has been the case in the past,

— train people who are called upon to teach others about human rights ( judges, lawyers,

administrators, those responsible for the training of police and security forces, professors
of education, etc .),

— reinforce respect for the rights of the child and bring assistance to children who are vic ­

tims of human rights violations,

— supply grants to trainees with organizations specializing in the promotion of human

rights .

No C 13 / 404 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1 . 92

Thursday, 12 December 1991

Priority will be accorded to projects offering concrete and direct aid . Projects concerning re ­
search and academic seminars of particular merit will be taken into consideration in so far as
is possible .

— having been consulted by the Council pursuant to Article 84(2 ) of the EEC Treaty

( C3-0075 / 91 ),

the EEC Treaty ;

3 . Calls on the Council to notify Parliament should it intend to depart from the text approved
by Parliament ;

— B3   - 1950 / 91

RESOLUTION

on the special arrangement for the import of maize and sorghum into Spain

The European Parliament,

A. whereas the exceptional arrangement for the import of maize and sorghum into Spain, which

was originally planned for a four-year period and which expired at the end of 1990, was
extended by a further year last year, owing to pressure from the United States,

B. whereas, at its sitting of 25 October 1991, it adopted its opinion on the regulation

implementing this extension ('), thereby making it quite clear that this arrangement was not
to be further extended in the future,

1 . Regrets the fact that the Commission is retaining the option of extensions ;

2 . Takes the view that any extension of this arrangement would constitute a further
unacceptable infringement of the Community 's organization of the agricultural markets and that
its ultimate implementation would constitute a flagrant violation of the single market in cereals
and derived products after 1 January 1993 ;

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

6 . Crisis in the Community tuna fleet

— B3-1957 / 91

RESOLUTION

on the crisis affecting the Community tuna fleet

The European Parliament,

A. whereas the Community tuna fleet has been in crisis since 1990,

B. whereas the principal cause of the crisis is the imbalance in the world market which resulted

from the decision of the major American canning firms not to buy tuna which had been
caught along with dolphins, a move which has flooded the Community market with such
tuna at very low prices,

C. whereas in 1 970 the Council suspended the Common Customs Tariff duties on imports of

tuna from third countries ( Council Regulation No 3796 / 81 ) because the Community was at
that time undersupplied with tuna,

D. whereas prices of Community products have fallen by approximately 50% in real terms since

E. whereas the reference price for yellowfin tuna over 1 0 kgs was fixed at ECU 73 1 per tonne in

1983 and has not been revised since, a fact which has blocked the mechanisms for protecting
the market against imports ( Regulation No 3796 / 8 1 ),

F. whereas the compensation arrangement laid down in Regulation No 3796 / 8 1 was amended
by Regulation No 3468 / 88 in a very restrictive manner, against the wishes of Parliament set
out in its opinion of 17 December 1987 ('); whereas the mechanism in question is utterly
inadequate to cope with the task of guaranteeing producers a reasonable income,

G. whereas Article 24 of Regulation No 3796 / 81 concerning protective measures has never

been implemented,

H. having regard to its resolution of 22 November 1991 ( 2 ), on the use of purse-seine nets,

1 . Calls for the immediate adoption of the proposal drawn up by the Commission with a view
to updating the reference price for yellowfin tuna over 10 kgs to ECU 905 per tonne in
accordance with the provisions of Article 2 1 of Regulation No 3796 / 8 1 ;

2 . Calls for the immediate imposition for one year of a compensatory duty on EEC imports of
yellowfin Mr \ ^ 7QA / C tuna 1      - over 10 kgs from third countries, pursuant to Article 24 of Regulation ®

Friday, 13 December 1991

F. whereas the Ukrainian Government has decided to close the Chernobyl nuclear power
station after the latest incident involving the No 3 reactor,

G. whereas the energy sector lends itself particularly well to joint efforts to achieve economic

integration between States and technological cooperation between undertakings,

H. having regard to the role and the responsibilities of the Community in those sectors and the

developments scheduled to follow revision of the Treaties,

I. having regard to the economic, social and ecological problems arising in the countries of
Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, to which their governments must
find a solution,

J. whereas the process of privatization of the energy industry in Central and Eastern Europe,
including the former Soviet Union, must be speeded up by attracting the investments needed
for the purpose,

K. whereas investors must be given confidence in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe,
including the former Soviet Union,

1 . Deplores the fact that it was not consulted in accordance with the Solemn Declaration on
European Union and considers that we have a common interest in promoting long-term energy
cooperation within Europe as regards the optimum use of resources, security of supply,
environmental protection and vocational training ;

2 . Regards it as essential that the basic principles embodied in Directive 85 / 337 / EEC on the
assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (') be
incorporated into the European Energy Charter ;

3 . Considers it necessary to coordinate medium and long-term objectives in energy policy for
all European countries, with a view to the establishment of an economic market covering the
entire European continent ;

4 . Believes it opportune to develop, through appropriate measures, a climate favourable to a
gradual increase in trade within the framework of a market economy in which realistic prices and
transparent costs are guaranteed ;

5 . Notes with interest the growing desire among non-European countries to cooperate with
European countries in the energy sphere and points, in this connection, to the specific features
which the new model for pan-European energy cooperation must have with regard for the
legitimate Community preference and the development of relations between the Community and
the countries of Eastern Europe ;

6 . Considers that arrangements for such participation and the forms that it takes should not
least meet the need for stability in countries adjacent to the Community ;

7 . Recalls the importance of democratic consensus on economic and strategic objectives set
by European governments, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, and expresses its concern
at the apparent disregard for the social consequences of the proposed restructuring of the energy

8 . Agrees with the approach expressed in the original Community plans for a European
Energy Charter, but with the detailed provisions and additions contained in paragraph 12,1 ;

9 . Expresses its concern regarding the current negotiating text, which does not pay sufficient
attention to the specific nature of European energy needs and does not take adequate account of
the environmental concerns of European public opinion ;

10 . Questions whether the strategic interests of European countries in the energy sphere can
be safeguarded merely by developing a larger market and whether that market will make the
exploitation of renewable energy sources feasible in the medium-term ­

No C 13 / 460 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Friday, 13 December 1991

1 1 . Expresses serious reservations regarding the direction which the discussions are now
taking and the choices which may now be made ;

12 . Calls on the Community delegation to consider Parliament 's opinion as a mandate which
must be adhered to in negotiating the text of the Charter, particularly in respect of the following :

I. Aims of the charter

( a ) In the field of commerce among partners who wish to move towards a position of equality, a

genuine and gradual development in trade will be feasible if a solution is found to problems
linked with the convertibility of the rouble,

( b ) as regards coordination in the energy field, work must continue on drawing up a common

energy policy ( CEP ) incorporating and harmonizing the different national policies, with the
aim of improving the energy balance of the Community and that of the Member States,

( c ) if the project is to succeed, it would seem necessary to make the setting-up of a large-scale

strategy for the training of national economic operators one of the main objectives in the field
of cooperation ; as regards the future costs of energy resources, efforts should be made to
devise a method of internalizing the environmental costs of extraction, transport and
consumption,

( d ) optimum energy use entails clearly defining objectives as regards appropriate technology

transfer projects and the necessary funding mechanisms,

( e ) plans must be made for a coherent cooperation programme in the field of environment and

safety, not least with a view to minimizing the environmental impact of the use of energy
resources, with more detailed indication of priority action sectors and with full environmen ­
tal impact assessment of all major projects,

( f ) provision must be made for a definite policy of closing all graphite-gas nuclear power

stations such as Chernobyl,

( g ) the Community must offer all possible collaboration in the form of technologies and

technicians to help the governments of the Republics which, like the Ukrainian Government,
have decided or may decide to close immediately graphite-gas nuclear power stations ( such
as Chernobyl );

II . Implementation

( a ) The measures planned for the implementation of the Charter must be governed by the

principle of gradual transition,

( b ) efforts must be made to achieve optimum synergy between the projects to improve

market-related measures and measures planned for the promotion of private investment and
those which fall within the remit of the public sector ; the long-term profitability of certain
investments vital to the reconstruction of the energy sector, such as the interconnection of
networks, must be studied in depth with a view to determining the funding to be allocated,
the means of coordinating the various sources of funding and the ways they interact,

( c ) as regards access to and the exploitation of resources, it would be desirable to define the

concept of ' non-discriminatory rules ' more clearly and incorporate explicit references to the
sovereignty of countries in respect of their energy reserves ; moreover, the link between the
exploitation of resources and development which is sustainable from the ecological point of
view should be given serious consideration,

( d ) as regards the protection of investment, given that in due course legally binding rules must be

established, it would be useful to include in the Charter a declaration of principle on the
transitional period covering profit repatriation rights and currency convertibility problems in
countries with economies in transition ; moreover the link between the exploitation of
resources and development which is sustainable from an ecological point of view must form
part of the decision-making and assessment process,

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 461

Friday, 13 December 1991

( e ) a flexible approach is needed in the field of technical specifications and safety regulations ;

although joint efforts must be made as soon as possible in the field of nuclear safety, a period
of adjustment will be needed before Western standards and norms can be enforced in the
countries of Eastern Europe,

( f ) in the field of scientific and technological cooperation, it is important to encourage, by

appropriate means, the transfer of innovative technologies with minimum impact on the
environment ; similarly, as regards the training programmes planned, priority must be given
to training staff who are not sufficiently conversant with modern techniques and practices,

( g ) the measures which need to be carried out in the energy sector to safeguard and enhance the

environment, while complying with the rules of the market economy, can not be limited to
increased use of market-based instruments,

( h ) the Community must concentrate, in its cooperation with third countries, on areas which are

demonstrably of mutual benefit ;

1 3 . As regards the basic Agreement and the specific protocols, considers that the present stage
is one of intermediate reflection and considers that Parliament 's deliberations on the matter
should follow the procedure laid down in Article 238 of the EEC Treaty, since the matter under
consideration is an international agreement which entails legal commitments and has budgetary
implications for the Community,,

14 . Takes the view that the specific protocols planned for the main areas of cooperation are the
real instruments on which implementation of the Charter rests ; each protocol should comprise :

a description of the substance of the planned cooperation programme,

— the duration of the programme and commitments ;

15 . Notes that, at the current stage of negotiations, efforts are focused mainly on establishing a
basic ' non-discrimination agreement covering ', access, inter to energy alia, resources rules on the, institutional promotion and and organizational protection of issues investment, overall,

obligations and the system proposed for the settling of disputes ;

16 . Reserves the right to consider the details of the text when negotiations have reached a
more advanced stage ;

17 . Takes the view that the Charter must be an example of Community rather than
intergovernmental cooperation, taking the PHARE programme, which involves cooperation
with partners inside and outside Europe, as its model ;

18 . Considers that, since the issue here is an international agreement which will be legally
binding on the Community and have financial implications for the budget, the European
Parliament must be consulted, as on any other agreement ;

19 . Approves the fact that plans have also been made to draw up specific agreements for the
following fields : energy efficiency and environmental aspects, hydrocarbons, and nuclear
energy, including safety aspects ;

gas 20 ., in particular Recalls however the interconnection, the importance of of networks the electricity and the sector transfer, and of the ' clean growing coal use ' technologies of natural
and the more general issues of technology transfers and measures to promote innovation, and
hopes that specific agreements in these fields will be drawn up ;

2 1 . Calls for the permanent secretariat responsible for monitoring the work on the Charter to
be placed under the control of the Commission, thus enabling that body to submit periodic
information reports to the European Parliament ;

22 . Instructs the committee responsible to monitor the current negotiations and draw up,
possibly, a report on the basic agreement provided for by the Charter ;

Europe, the establishment of open market-oriented economies in Central and Eastern
Europe, and the agreements on economic union among the states of the USSR,

C. having regard to future association agreements between the Community and certain Central
and Eastern European countries,

D. having regard to the environmental challenges facing the European continent, particularly

the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, in part as a result of its heavy energy use,

E. having regard to the increasing responsibilities thrust upon democratic systems as a result of

these changes, and the need to ensure democracy 's secure and stable development in all parts
of Europe,

F. whereas sustainable economic growth, respect for our common environment, rising living
standards, expanding employment, more job opportunities, and efficient use of economic
resources will contribute to a better quality of life for all, and whereas energy use is the key to

G. whereas well-established inter      - and intra-regional energy cooperation will contribute to a

secure and stable climate, in which such economic development and political democracy
may burgeon,

H. having regard to the serious discrepancies in technological progress and skills between the

countries of Europe, and the essential role this progress and these skills play in such
economic development,

I. having regard to the specific nature of the energy sector, given the laws of the market
economy : public service functions requiring rationalization of investments and very
long-term market control,

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 463

Fnday, 13 December 1991

J. whereas European Community energy research and technological development activities
aim to meet requirements as part of a form of economic development, which will help to
reduce regional inequalities through the pooling of competences and common strategies in
key sectors, and whereas the participation of other European countries in these activities will
help achieve such economic development,

K. having regard to the Ukrainian Government 's decision to close the Chernobyl nuclear power

station after the latest incident involving No 3 reactor,

As regards general principles

1 . Welcomes measures encouraging energy cooperation between countries in continental
Europe on the following principles :

— recognized mutual advantage overall for each participant,

— non-discrimination between all participants in such cooperation,

— measures to meet the long-term energy needs of each country as a priority objective in order

to ensure their economic and social development and an efficient and fair system of
distribution to all consumers,

—
costs, prices and exchanges, taking account of the specific nature of the energy sector and

established market economy principles,

—
the greater extent of exchange of goods, services and capital between all participants,

— a clearer definition of ' non-discriminatory provisions ' based on the principles of interna ­

tional law and practice,

— national sovereignty over natural resources, in accordance with international law and the

requirements of Pan-European energy cooperation,

— regulation permitting protection of the environment, of investment and the transfer of

royalties and profits, on the basis of international law and practice and in accordance with
any special agreements being concluded in this area ;

As regards instruments for cooperation

2 . Considers that such cooperation must comprise the following : the improvement of human
capital, involving the extended use of information and data collection, analysis and dissemina ­
tion ; management, training and technical assistance ; transfer of technology ; industrial and
interregional cooperation, with administrative support, including planning and evaluation ; joint
ventures ; and adequate financial means on soft terms ;

Considers that, for this purpose, it is necessary for the signatory countries to undertake to ensure
the transparency of all ( legal, administrative, regulatory and technical ) provisions concerning
investment and commercial and exploitation rights in the energy sector ;

Considers, moreover, that the Community must offer all possible collaboration in the form of
technologies and technicians to help the governments of the Republics which, like the Ukrainian
Government, have decided or may decide to close immediately graphite-gas nuclear power
stations ( such as Chernobyl );

As regards priorities

3 . Believes that this cooperation should have as its priorities, in this order :

greater continent-wide security of supply, respecting common norms, and the general
reduction of risks in energy production, distribution and use,

No C 13 / 464 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Friday, 13 December 1991

— stricter energy production and use standards to be respected by all parties, whatever form of

energy is being considered, and therefore attribution of responsibilities to appropriate
executive, legislative and judicial organs, to ensure the respect of the minimum necessary
regulation,

— greater savings of limited energy resources in all parts of the continent, with agreed and

regularly reviewed savings targets,

— reducing environmental impact of energy production, distribution and use, by giving priority

to the development of non-pollutant or relatively non-pollutant forms of energy and energy
management by agreeing emission targets, insisting on environmental impact assessment on
new developments, encouraging long-term pricing of energy products, agreeing appropriate
levies on polluting emissions and wastes, and ensuring safe final storage of waste from
energy production processes,

— greater exploitation of renewable energies, with advantage given to such forms, in creating

new energy production capacity, through fiscal and regulatory means,

—
significant long-term financial commitments by private and public companies and utilities,

distribution with the know-how and consumption and skills systems, to the throughout renovation the and continent restructuring, but particularly of the energy in supply Central ^ '
and Eastern Europe, and in the electricity sector, between those countries and the countries
of the UCPTE ( Union for the Coordination of Production and Transmission of Electricity ),

wider choice of supply sources and of types of energy raw materials and measures to
encourage cooperation between national undertakings to facilitate inter        - and intra-regional
energy trade,

—
the introduction or improvement of effective energy production and distribution systems in

each country in order to meet real national and regional development needs on a lasting
basis,

—
improved use of resources through the extension of gas and electricity grids to all the regions
of Europe,

As regards electricity supplies

4 . Calls on the Commission to take all necessary measures urgently to bring about adequate
connection between the UCPTE grids and those of Eastern Europe, to allow significant and rapid
transfers of electricity, when necessary, to assure standardized frequency variation, and to agree
on common rules of operation, through consultation between the distributors ;

5 . Requests that the Commission provide financial and technical support for this connection,
and the associated modernization of the grids, ensuring supply security, through the PHARE
programme and associated actions, and then subsequently according to recommendations after a
complete review, conducted under the auspices of the Commission and the participating states,
tions the results are made of which ; will be communicated to Parliament and the Council, before recommenda ­

0345 / 91 ),

A. profoundly alarmed by the dramatic increase in the numbers of refugees and displaced

persons in the world, the majority of whom originate from, and find refuge in, developing
countries,

B. whereas many refugees have no future prospects, owing partly to the lack of adequate

financial resources and failure to resolve the factors underlying the problem,

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 469

Friday, 13 December 1991

C. whereas a large number of refugees attempting to flee to a neighbouring country are held up
in the generally peripheral border regions, and stressing the need to ensure that the signatory
states respect international conventions, particularly the Convention on the Status of
Refugees and Stateless Persons ( 1 95 1 ) and the Protocol concerning the status of refugees
( 1967 ),

D. whereas a new approach to the concept of security is called for, and the political, economic

and ecological causes of often forced population movements must be taken into considera ­
tion so as to avoid still greater suffering being inflicted on the world 's most defenceless
peoples and guarantee their right to live in dignity in their own regions,

1 . Calls on the Community and the Member States to work out a policy for dealing with the
fundamental causes of the refugee problem with a view to solving it ;

2 . Approves the emergency efforts made and the initiatives taken by the Community to assist
refugees, particularly those from occupied Kuwait and the Kurdish refugees from Iraq following
the Gulf War ;

3 . Pays tribute to the work on behalf of refugees carried out by the Commission and its
delegations, specialized agencies such as the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, the International
Red Cross and the numerous non-governmental organizations taking part in the joint effort ;

4 . Welcomes the establishment by the Commission of the European Office for Emergency
Humanitarian Aid for the purpose of improving methods of intervention and operational
management ;

5 . Notes and approves the efforts made by the Community with regard to emergency food aid,
but is concerned that the logistical cost far exceeds the value of the aid itself ; proposes that, in
consultation with the Member States, adequate means be devised to cut the excessive logistical
cost, particularly in regions suffering from continuing famine ;

6 . Stresses the importance and the multiplier effect of Budget Article B7-302 intended for aid
towards self-sufficiency for refugees and displaced persons and draws attention, once again, to
the inadequacy of the appropriations available ;

7 . Calls on the Commission to set up a special task force with the task of ( a ) undertaking a
long-term analysis of the situation in regions where a refugee problem may emerge and, where
necessary, working out an aid strategy, and ( b ) together with the Council, in cases where
financial resources are made available by the Community, interceding through diplomatic
channels in order to find a solution to the underlying problems, which are generally of a political
nature ;

8 . Notes that both needs and projects have grown, and believes that financial and human
resources must be increased accordingly ;

9 . Notes with regret the slowness of payment procedures for projects committed and points
out that this is incompatible with the urgency required by the situations concerned ;

10 . Recommends that, in its aid policy to refugees, the Commission consult with aid and
development organizations on the ground, if the problem is economic, to establish viable
economic projects which would arrest this flight of refugees while respecting the geographical
diversity and the specific nature of the situations in question ;

1 1 . Calls on the Commission to devote more attention to reintegration projects for both
external and internal refugees, in order to expedite, where possible, a return to the region of
origin under conditions which respect human dignity ;

12 . Draws attention to the situation of those sections of the refugee population most at risk,
namely women and children, and stresses that particular attention should be devoted to this group
in current and future projects ;

1 3 . Expresses its concern at the growth in the number of refugees fleeing from ecological and
environmental disasters and asks that their situation be considered as such, so that remedies may
be applied at source ;

14 . Calls on the Commission and the Member States to pay greater attention, in implementing
their refugee policy, to the training, professional and otherwise, of refugees, making allowance
for their social structure, in order to foster independence and facilitate a possible return ;

15 . Notes that aid to refugees and displaced and repatriated persons, entered under Article
B7-302, must be extended to the local populations of the host countries where economic
conditions demand it ;

16 . Supports the aid programme for the re-establishment of the Vietnamese boat people
established by the Community, and hopes to see it extended to situations where repatriation is
possible, provided it is voluntary ;

17 . Highlights the serious plight of the Gulf War refugees living in highly precarious
circumstances in Jordan and, noting that no aid can be provided for them under existing budget
headings, considers that appropriate financial assistance must be made available so that this
exceptional situation may be addressed without delay ;

18 . Stresses the importance of improved coordination amongst the Member States of the
Community and in the prospect of European integration, believes that the untying of bilateral aid
in favour of a Community development policy is highly desirable ;

19 . Considers that the international community should adopt all the measures necessary to
enable all refugees ( political, economic and those who are refugees as a result of natural or
ecological disasters ) to be taken in first and foremost by neighbouring regions and countries,
which must be assisted to this end by suitable programmes of cooperation and support ; stresses,
at the same time, that the European Community, on the basis of positions adopted by the
European Parliament on the matter, must draw up a Community asylum policy giving priority to
political refugees and adopt a definition of refugees which takes into account the diversity of
causes and international upheavals underlying the phenomenon ;

20 . Welcomes the determination shown by the EEC delegations in refugee host countries and
by the officials of DG I and DG VIII in helping to find solutions to the problems facing refugees
and displaced persons ;

Barber ( 262 / 88 ), Ruzius-Wilbrink ( 102 / 88 ), Bilka ( 170 / 84 ) and Defrenne ( 25 May 1971,
80 / 70 ) cases, and its judgements of 8 April 1976 ( 43 / 75 ) and 15 June 1978 ( 149 / 77 ),

— having regard to Rule 1 2 1 of the Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Women 's Rights ( A3-0285 / 91 ),

A. whereas Chapter 1 6 of the Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights for workers, on

the right of men and women to equal treatment, requests the Member States to safeguard,
develop and intensify their action to ensure the implementation of the principle of equality
between men and women, particularly in matters of social protection,

B. drawing attention to its resolution of 16 September 1988, stating that ' the promotion of
equality deterioration as regards in the benefits the conditions derived of by coverage either sex should ' and that not the under aim any of equal circumstances treatment ' lead will be to
better assured by systems which guarantee the right to social benefits for every citizen ',

E. whereas only a revision of the relevant Treaty articles to incorporate the explicit aim of
securing equal opportunities for men and women can bring about a genuine improvement in
living conditions and ensure optimum social security and protection,

1 . Calls on the Intergovernmental Conferences, as part of the institutional reforms, to amend
Articles 1 1 8a and 1 19 of the EEC Treaty so as to improve the implementation of the principle of
equal treatment along the lines set out in the Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights,
particularly in Chapter 16 on equal treatment of men and women ;

2 . Draws attention to the need to examine the retroactive recognition of the social rights and
benefits laid down in the relevant directives so that social protection is guaranteed in all the
Member States from the same date, without prejudice to the decisions of the Court of Justice in
respect of requests for preliminary rulings ;

3 . Stresses that the application of the directives must not undermine the acquired social rights
of groups or remove vital, existing individual rights, but must be geared towards harmonization ;

4 . Calls for the concept of indirect discrimination to be explicitly defined with a view to
harmonizing the rules in order to prevent indirect discrimination ;

5 . Asks the Commission to amplify and update its report COM(88 ) 0769 final of 1 6 December

the Treaty ;

7 . Calls on the Council to give further consideration to the proposal for a directive completing
the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in statutory and
occupational social security schemes ( COM(87 ) 0494 final );

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

12 . Competition policy

— A3-0338 / 91

RESOLUTION

on the 20th Report of the Commission of the European Communities on Competition Policy

The European Parliament,

having regard to the 20th Report of the Commission of the European Communities on
Competition Policy,

— having regard to its earlier resolutions on competition policy,

— having regard to the important developments in this sector over the last year,

having Industrial regard Policy to and the the report opinions of the of Committee the Committee on Economic on Legal Affairs and Monetary and Citizens Affairs ' Rights and
and the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development ( A3-0338 / 91 ),

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 473

Friday, 13 December 1991

Timing and structure of the annual report

1 . Notes that the 20th Report was sent to the Parliament earlier than the 19th Report but still
considerably later than Parliament 's suggested deadline of 30 April ; welcomes the Commis ­
sion 's undertaking to make every effort to observe this deadline in the future ;

2 . Insists on the Commission giving a full point-by-point response to the current resolution
within eight weeks, unlike its severely delayed and unofficial response to Parliament 's similar
request in its resolution on the 19th Report ;

3 . Demands that the Commission keep the European Parliament fully and rapidly informed of
all major policy initiatives in the field of competition policy, and that all draft block exemptions
and Commission notices ( such as those on telecommunications and transparency of financial
relations as regards public enterprises ) be transmitted to the Parliament at the same time as to the
relevant Advisory Committee ;

4 . Regards as unacceptable any procedure, such as that followed in the preparation of the
communication on Transparency of State Aids, which denies the Parliament the opportunity to
express a view on an important development in competition policy before final decisions have
been made and publicised ;

Main developments in Community policy

5 . Stresses the great importance of competition policy for the completion of the 1992 single
market and the process of European integration ;

6 . Reiterates its concern at the fact that competition policy is often considered separately from
other Community activities ; in particular, points to the need to strike a balance between
competition policy and the requirements of an industrial policy geared towards strengthening the
Community 's productive structure and its international competitiveness, particularly in defina ­
ble strategic sectors ;

7 . Considers, furthermore, that decisions on competition policy should be more closely linked
to the requirements of those Community policies which are given priority in the EC Treaties,
such as economic and social cohesion and policies in respect of small and medium-sized
undertakings and research ;

8 . Calls on the Commission to devise as soon as possible a definite policy of economic and
social cohesion within the meaning of Article 1 30a of the EEC Treaty, defining inter alia the role
of operations to assist employment and regional development ; calls also for an assessment to be
made at the same time of the impact which decisions on concentrations, agreements and aid will
have on employment, management by the regions over their own economic development, the
environment and regional and ecological imbalances ;

9 . Welcomes the Commission 's favourable attitude to small and medium-sized undertakings
but considers that the current, purely competition-oriented approach and the separation of aid
from other measures in respect of such undertakings do not meet the development and
adjustment requirements of SMUs in the run-up to the single market ; considers, therefore, that a
comprehensive and consistent policy towards SMUs should be implemented, including the
drawing up of impact assessment ' forms ' for the sector concerned which should be completed
before any specific competition policy decisions are taken ;

10 . Welcomes the fact that the new regulation on merger control ( Regulation ( EEC ) No
4604 / 89 ) has now taken effect and confirms that such instruments are necessary to ensure
balanced development of the Community market ; considers, however, that the system needs to
be modified substantially to take account of the points made in paragraphs 6, 7 and 1 2 and also to
achieve certain other objectives, e.g. :

No C 13 / 474 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Friday, 13 December 1991

— reduction to ECU 2 billion of the quantitative threshold beyond which anti-trust measures

can be taken and the introduction of corrective assessment measures which take account of
the share of the market sector in question,

— greater legal and administrative integration of national anti-trust systems and the Commun ­

ity system, including the possibility of coordinated action or measures delegated to the two
levels of authority,

— greater transparency and guarantees in the procedural and investigative phase in which

specialist technical and economic inquiries would be a determining factor and allow for full
autonomy in decision-making ; Calls on the Commission, therefore, to draw up and submit to
Parliament an interim communication in the second half of 1992 on the questions raised in
this connection, providing an in-depth analysis of the measures required for the reform of
Regulation ( EEC ) No 4064 / 89 ;

1 1 . Considers that the adoption of the merger control regulation, and the recent controversy
over the De Havilland case have shown the immediate need for ever more rigorous economic
analysis by the Commission ; requests more information from the Commission as to how it
currently defines the relevant sectoral or geographical market in a particular case, whether the
Commission has enough economists working on competition policy cases, and how the
Commission coordinates the economic advice from different Directorate-Generals ;

1 2 . Further considers that, as a minimum step in the area of merger control, decisions must be
taken in the light of adequate information about the wider consequences ; and therefore calls on
the Commission, when considering a proposed merger under the Merger Regulation, to invite the
Commissioners responsible to prepare, where they consider it appropriate, evaluations of the
likely industrial, employment and regional consequences of the merger ;

1 3 . Calls on the Commission to continue its efforts to reduce the unacceptably high number of
files outstanding, which numbered 2 734 at the end of 1990 ;

1 4 . Notes that when human resources were allocated for 1 99 1, the number of posts effectively
assigned to the Directorate-General for Competition was substantially lower than the figure
approved by the European Parliament in the 1991 budget ; points out the need to adjust the
resources of this service to meet the extra workload resulting from the considerable increase in
activities, not least because of the extension of Community relations ( EFTA, countries of Central
and Eastern Europe, etc .);

15 . Welcomes the draft Commission notice on application of Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty
by the courts of the Member States, which should help to encourage more intensive application
of the Community laws at national level ; regrets, however, that the draft notice was not sent to the
European Parliament ;

16 . Considers, however, that decentralized application of competition law can only flourish
when there is an adequate framework of competition policy and competition law and efficient
merger control within each Member State, and that any Member State without such a framework
must develop one as rapidly as possible ;

17 . Attaches importance to the Communication on transparency of state aids adopted by the
Commission in July 1991, and emphasizes the need for the Commission to take account of
Parliament 's views ; is concerned that this communication will introduce a regulatory bias
against public enterprise by imposing detailed bureaucratic intervention on public sector
organizations which does not apply to the private sector ;

Believes that certain principles must be safeguarded :

— investment must not be assessed solely in terms of immediate return but must also take

account of other aspects and objectives ; commercial profitability although fundamental may
not be the sole criterion for assessing the activities of public undertakings,

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 475

Friday, 13 December 1991

— any intervention should be based on Article 222 of the EEC Treaty which provides that the

form of ownership of undertakings cannot be imposed on Member States,

Therefore calls upon the Commission to collaborate with Parliament in reviewing the content of
the Communication ;

18 . Stresses the importance of monitoring aid and notes with interest the intention to extend
such monitoring to all existing aid ; welcomes, furthermore, the intention to implement a stricter
policy as regards aid to the wealthier regions of the Community which have greater resources
than the disadvantaged regions, given that this weakens cohesion ; considers that further progress
should be made in respect of current efforts to ensure transparency through greater rationaliza ­
tion of existing rules and procedures ; believes that, in order to develop this policy in a coherent
way, the Commission should bring forward proposals for a Community policy framework for
investment incentives, with the objective of :

( i ) minimizing the risk of Member States bidding against each other for footloose investment,

( ii ) maximizing the impact of any investment incentives on the global total of investment in the

Community,

( iii ) encouraging a pattern of investment in keeping with the Community 's regional, social and

environmental priorities ;

19 . Recalls that in its resolution of 24 January 1991 on the 19th Commission report on
competition policy ('), the European Parliament noted that state aid was intrinsically neither
beneficial nor harmful, but that it was necessary to evaluate the purpose for which it was being
used and its possible effects on economic and social cohesion ;

20 . Welcomes the Commission 's favourable attitude to environmental aid over the last year,
and specifies that such aid is justified, if it allows undertakings better to adapt their installations
to the new Community legislation in the field of environmental protection ;

German unification

21 . Calls for continued vigilance by the Commission to ensure that the privatization process
being carried out by the Treuhandanstalt remains fair and transparent, and that the new German
Lander are truly open to all Community investors on a non-discriminatory basis ;

22 . Welcomes the Commission 's decision of 18 September 1991 on monitoring aids paid by
the Treuhandanstalt, the world 's largest industrial holding company, which recognized the need
for massive public support for transforming a centrally managed system into a social market

economy ;

23 . Reaffirms that major state aids will be required to rebuild the economies of the five new
Lander but insists that they are not disproportionate to their objective, especially relative to aids
provided to other disadvantaged areas in the Community ;

24 . Calls on the Commission to ensure that the vitally necessary reconstruction of the
economy of the five new German Lander is not used as an excuse to increase production
capacities in sectors such as steel ;

25 . Deeply regrets that it was not informed of the declaration in the Council minutes when the
7th Code of aids to shipbuilding was adopted that shipyards in the five new German Lander
might later be given a temporary derogation from the provisions of the directive ; considers that

(') OJ No C 48, 25.2.1991, p. 168 .

No C 13 / 476 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Friday, 13 December 1991

such a declaration, on which Parliament was not consulted, undercut the value of the adopted
directive, and prevented proper debate within Parliament of the possible derogation ; the
European Parliament, with the support of the Commission, shall apply to the Council to ensure
that in the future it automatically also sends Parliament the Minutes and / or Declarations
concerning all matters on which it has already been consulted previously ;

26 . Calls for more information from the Commission about the agreements that have been
reached between the Commission and the German authorities on the phasing out of existing aid
to West Berlin and to the former border areas in Western Germany ;

International aspects of competition policy

27 . Supports the Commission in its endeavour to establish further international anti-trust
agreements ; is of the opinion that the next bilateral agreement to be concluded should be between
the European Community and Japan ;

T f ^ es note °f reac hing of an agreement with the EFTA countries, but considers it
essential for the achievement of the European Economic Area that the EFTA area also hp « nhif»rt
to control by an authority with equivalent powers with regard to competition to those of the
Commission, while requesting more details on the way this instrument would operate ; however,
reserves the right to give its opinion on this when it considers the treaty establishing the European
Economic Area, which it expects to be forwarded as soon as possible ; points to the need for a
uniform approach to merger control in the European Economic Area ;

29 . Considers that it is of the utmost importance that those countries of Central and Eastern
Europe which are currently developing a market economy should conduct a competition policv
of their own but which reflects as far as possible EEC competition policy ; believes that the
experiences of the five new German Lander have shown some of the very real problems that are
involved in this context, calls for these special circumstances to be taken into account when
negotiating association agreements with these countries, and calls for cooperation and assistance
in developing an efficient system of competition in Central and Eastern Europe ;

30 . Welcomes the recent agreement with the United States on a more detailed framework for
relations between the European Community anti-trust authorities and those of the United States ;

31 . Believes there is an urgent need for reform of GATT to include the development of an
international system of competition based on minimum standards of competition law ;

32 Welcomes the Commission 's intention to publish in the Official Journals all decisions on
aids and anti-trust procedures ;

Other issues

33 Omni-Partijen . Notes the Akkoord judgments ' cases handed, and down the important by the Court role played of Justice by the in the Court ' Automec of Justice ' and in
interpreting and clarifying certain questions concerning the administrative procedures of the
Commission in applying Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty ;

34 . Welcomes, above all, the fact that recent case law has served to strengthen the rights and
procedural guarantees of the parties in such administrative procedures ;

35 . Believes, nevertheless, that although the judgments handed down in recent years have
confirmed the Commission 's wide powers with regard to inspection and verification, they have
also highlighted certain aspects of the procedures in question which confirm Parliament 's
examiner long-standing, prosecutor concern and that judge in these ; procedures, the Commission is, at one and the same time '

36 . Notes that the Commission has recently published its promised guidelines on the
application of the Community competition rules in the telecommunications sector, but regrets

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 477

Friday, 13 December 1991

that they were published in the Official Journal without having been first transmitted to the

­
European Parliament ; welcomes the recent Commission inquiry into international telecommu
nications tariffs, and calls for an explanation as to why they are often two to three times higher
than national tariffs, and also why there are such great differences between equivalent national
tariffs within the Community ;

37 . Calls on the Commission also to deal decisively with other situations which citizens would
find hard to accept after 3 1 December 1992, such as high air fares, large differences in car prices
and high bank charges ;

38 . Welcomes the Commission 's declared intention to vigorously apply the rules of
competition in liberal professions and service sectors, such as medical services, consultancies
and real estate agencies ; calls on the Commission to carry out a thorough review of national
legislation which creates real barriers to persons wishing to take up employment in professional
occupations and services ;

39 . Calls on the Commission to report back to the Parliament on the extent to which price
fixing and cartel arrangements are still being practised within the European steel industry ;

40 . Further calls on the Commission to state whether a multi-media regulation is required at
European Community level, in order to prevent unacceptable dominance of the audiovisual and
media sectors by a few transnational groups ;

4 1 . Calls on the Commission to make known as soon as possible its views on the compatibility
of different sets of price regulations for books in the context of the internal market, given the
desirability of having the same regulation apply in at least the same language area, in the light of
a resolution to this effect adopted by the European Parliament in 1 987 and the commitment made
at the time by the Commission ;

42 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council, the
competition authorities in the Member States and the EFT A countries, and the governments and
parliaments of the Member States and the EFTA countries ;

15 . Environmental impact of Community financial instruments

— A3-0312 / 91

RESOLUTION

on the impact of the Community 's financial instruments on the environment

The European Parliament,

— having regard to its resolution of 9 February 1986 on agriculture and the environment ('),

— having regard to its resolution of 22 November 1990 on the Intergovernmental Conferences

in the context of the European Parliament 's strategy for European Union and the draft
amendments to the EEC Treaty contained in paragraph 1 thereof ( 2 ),

— having regard to its opinion of 12 March 1991 on the Commission proposal for a Council

regulation on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on
agricultural products and foodstuffs ( 3 ),

— having regard to the motion for a resolution by Mr Pimenta on the environmental

implications of Community funding of development in the EC ( B3-0232 / 91 ),

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control ( A3-03 1 2 / 9 1 ),

A. whereas the range of financial instruments of the General Budget of the European

Communities devoted to the environment is growing ; whereas this is a mark of the
increasing importance which the Community attaches to the problem of the environment,

B. recalling that the principles of the importance of action in the environmental sphere and the

need for common actions on the environment are laid down in Article 2 of the amendments
to be made to the EEC Treaty under paragraph 1 of the abovementioned resolution of
22 November 1990,

C. whereas it is necessary to assess the real and lasting impact of the Community 's budgetary

measures on the environment,

1 . Considers that, taken as a whole, the environmental policy instruments in the General
Budget of the European Communities should correspond to a single, integrated strategy, in order
to take advantage of synergies and minimize the cost / benefit ratio ;

20 . 1.92 Official Journal of the European Communities NoC 13 / 487

2 . Is convinced that, because of the unitary nature of environmental policy, budgetary
instruments must be :

subject to an ex ante evaluation, on the basis of priorities laid down in environmental

programmes,

— coordinated in order to achieve a single framework of interdependent measures,

— subject to an impact assessment and monitoring to ensure that their goals are achieved ;

3 . Fears, however, that this approach is not yet effective and that budgetary resources are still
too dispersed over different fields of action ;

4 . Therefore calls on the Commission to give joint consideration to this subject and to submit
proposals for legislative and / or administrative reforms to deal with the deficiencies detected in
the management of several budgetary sectors connected with environmental policy ;

5 . Calls on the Commission to provide an annual breakdown, for example in the preliminary
draft budget, of all appropriations intended for environmental protection and nature conserva ­
tion ;

6 . Calls on the Commission to involve its Directorate-General XI ( Environment ) as far as
possible in the financial management of those environment-related budget items which are not
the direct responsibility of DG XI ;

7 . Is of the opinion that the Commission should provide financial support for environmental
projects only if they comply with, or are intended to implement, existing Communitv
environmental legislation ; J

8 . Calls on the Commission to withhold support from a project if the requisite environmental
impact report has not been carried out and / or if the report indicates that the project would have a
detrimental effect on the environment ;

9 . Calls for an expansion of the department within Directorate-General XI ( Environment )
which is concerned with evaluating the environmental impact of projects under ENVIREG and
other structural Funds as a means of making such evaluations more thorough ;

10 . Calls on the Commission, when next revising the structural Funds, to apply stricter
environmental criteria to applications for subsidies pursuant to such Funds ­

Common agricultural policy

1 . Welcomes the Commission s moves to strengthen the regulations on ecological agricul ­
ture, by promoting agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of
environmental protection ;

                  u ^ tes ^ at P olic y w ih a lso be pursued in the future, according to indications contained
in the Commission document on the development and future of the common agricultural
policy (');

13 . Considers, however, that measures financed by the Commission under the EAGGF Gui ­
dance Section are fragmentary and do not achieve the necessary ' critical mass ', given that the

—
large volume of funding under the EAGGF Guarantee Section has much more significant
etrects on national agricultural systems ;

14 . Considers therefore that the improvement of land use, in line with Community environ ­
ment policy, must in future be a central aim of the common agricultural policy and calls on the
Commission to propose a plan to ensure that this is the case ;

Structural policy

15 . Notes that, as part of the reform of the Structural Funds, a coherent set of rules has been
established to ensure that structural funding is consistent with environmental policy and to allow
systematic monitoring, assessment and checks on structural operations, also in terms of
environmental objectives ;

16 . Calls on the Commission to do its utmost to ensure that these provisions are actually put
into effect ;

17 . In particular, calls on the Commission to instruct one of its central departments to
coordinate all the structural financial instruments which have a bearing on the environment and
to ensure that they are coordinated with the specific instruments for the environment such as
ACE, MEDSPA, ACNAT, NORSPA and the new LIFE instrument, and to incorporate this
approach in the next ' environment ' programme to be submitted by the Commission to
Parliament and the Council ;

1 8 . Calls finally for physical indicators to be established for the purposes of monitoring during
implementation and assessment of the cost / benefit ratio of environmental measures ;

Research

19 . Calls on the Commission to ensure satisfactory coordination between research and
environment agencies, so that environmental needs are not subordinate to the needs of
technological research ;

Cooperation with third countries

20 . Calls on the Commission to carry out an assessment of the appropriations earmarked for
environmental protection measures under the appropriations for economic, technical and
financial cooperation with developing countries and countries covered by the Phare programme ;

21 . Calls on the Commission to do its utmost to ensure, as part of the implementation of the
environmental programme for Greece, that the competent national agencies are strengthened and
that Community policy is fully translated into law ;

22 . Calls on the Court of Auditors, with effect from the 1991 financial year, to devote a
chapter of its annual report to the impact on the environment of the Community 's financial
instruments ;

B. whereas there are at least 120 million children living in the Community, responsibility for

whose future lies primarily with their parents but also with society as a whole and the public
authorities in particular, who must encourage the creation of an environment favourable to
the growth and economic development of these children,

C. whereas, therefore, the European Community should protect the most fundamental rights of

children to enable every child to enjoy a dignified and happy childhood and develop its
personality freely and with confidence in itself and others ; whereas this is the only way of
preparing children to take their future place in society with a sense of responsibility,

D. whereas many aspects of the process of European integration directly affect children 's lives ;

whereas, however, the Community institutions take very little account of children in their
decision-making, in spite of the fact that children, as the weakest members of our society,
require particular care and protection,

E. whereas a policy for children must embrace forms of action required to guarantee their
rights, in view of the fact that children 's welfare is intimately bound up with the welfare of
the family,

F. having regard, in addition, to the disturbing growth of groups or sects whose internal
practices are not always in the interests of the child ( removal of children from home, health
care, education ),

G. whereas, in the light of further progress towards the completion of the internal market and

plans to establish political union and economic and monetary union, it is necessary to define
a Community policy on children and young people, respecting the principle of subsidiarity,

H. whereas the intergovernmental conferences provide an historic opportunity to define and

expand Community powers in matters relating to children, youth and education,

I. whereas freedom of movement for parents must not be achieved at the expense of their
children ; whereas the Community must therefore promote equality of opportunity for
children and access to education without any discrimination, and must combat all forms of
racism and xenophobia, in conjunction with the Member States,

J. whereas a European education policy should take account of the existing cultural and
linguistic diversity and could be instrumental in fostering a European outlook and the idea of
a European society,

K. whereas children, too, have a right to cultural and artistic development,

L. whereas youth crime is sadly on the increase in the Community and whereas the prevention
of crime and the application of juvenile criminal law represents a particular challenge to the
Community to give these young people at risk the opportunity of taking on a constructive
role in society,

M. whereas the European Community must address the ethical and legal problems arising from

new procreative technologies ( artificial fertilization, in vitro fertilization, transplantation of
embryos ),

N. whereas the protection of children must be based on children 's interests and the need to
respect their freedom and dignity, their identities and their individual and collective
characteristics,

1 . Calls upon the Member States to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
forthwith and unreservedly ;

2 . Calls for a legally binding European Charter of Children 's Rights ;

3 . Calls for the creation of a legal basis in the European treaties to enable a Community policy
on children to be formulated, respecting the principle of subsidiarity ;

4 . Calls for the setting up of a Working Party on Children 's Rights and calls on the Member
States to follow this example ;

5 . Calls urgently for an in-depth study of the situation of children in the Community, covering
all possible aspects of children 's lives, in order to identify specific Community priorities for
action in this field, to define an effective policy on children and to provide wide-ranging
information on the subject ;

20 . 1 . 92 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 13 / 537

Friday, 13 December 1991

6 . Notes that childcare facilities in nearly all Member States are inadequate and therefore calls
for an EC directive on the creation of adequate facilities ;

7 . Notes that the Council has still not adopted the EC directive on parental leave and calls for
this to be done immediately ;

8 . Stresses the right of children to the protection and preservation of vital resources ( drinking
water, food, air, etc .) and calls for EEC environmental standards to take account of children 's
more sensitive organisms ;

9 . Notes that many children are already suffering from environment-related illnesses, and that
there is a need both to remove the cause of such illnesses and to treat their symptoms by means of
emergency rehabilitation programmes ;

10 . Calls for the ESF to contribute to the creation of social housing in cities, planned to meet
environmental requirements and the needs of families and taking particular account of the needs
of single-parent and large families ;

11 . Notes that the increasing amount of traffic in European cities has created hostile
conditions tor children and therefore calls for a Pan-European transport policy aimed at
developing schemes which will contribute to greater road safety ;

12 . Calls for a special school programme of environmental education for children       

1 3 . Calls for a raising of public awareness with regard to all forms of violence against children
whether physical, sexual or psychological — and for an exchange of information to be
promoted among Member States on action to combat such violence      

one 14 . ot the Calls child, in view s parents of the or increasing by unrelated incidence persons of child, for the abduction harmonization in the Community of Member either States by '
legislation in this area and proposes that a register of missing children be set up for the
approximately 6 000 children missing in the Community ;

1 5 Calls on the Council to include education and training among the Community 's priorities
and to develop a coherent education policy which will make better use of the available human
resources while respecting the principle of subsidiarity and will create opportunities for mobilitv
in school education by means of exchange programmes ;

1 6 Calls for the active involvement of children in cultural exchanges ( theatrical, musical, arts
and crafts events ) which take place within the Community in the context of school and leisure
activities ;

1 7 . Calls on the Commission to ensure that in all the Member States physically mentally or
sensonally handicapped children enjoy adequate levels of care to allow them to lead their own
lives and facilitate their social integration ;

18 .
Calls for a ban on the use of children for videos of a pornographic or violent nature          

and 1 A adults <r onsiders only that ' categories an intermediate in order category to protect of young films should viewers be from created violence between and the pornography ' universal '
and calls in addition for the sale and hire ot videos with pornographic and violent contents to be
restricted to particular outlets ;

20 . Calls for restrictions on advertising during children 's TV programmes and for the
advertising of tobacco, alcohol and medicaments to be prohibited at such times      

Calls urgently for the adoption of an EC directive setting the minimum age at which
children can work ( to earn a living or help support the family ) at 15 ;

No C 13 / 538 Official Journal of the European Communities 20 . 1.92

Friday, 13 December 1991

22 . Calls, therefore, for other Member States to follow the example of Denmark and introduce
an official children 's legal officer ;

23 . Calls on the Member States to establish a special system of legal provisions for minors
under 18 years of age, involving educationalists, social workers and psychologists, taking
account of the fact that the objective of legal proceedings is education, not repression ;

24 . Considers that a study should be carried out into the situation of children whose mothers
are in prison and of the long-term effects on children whose family life has been disrupted by a
period of imprisonment or one of whose parents has been in prison ; believes there is also a need
for a detailed study on the situation and lifestyle of children within sects or similar groups, on the
basis of respect for the principles set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child ;

25 . Notes that the Community has no power to harmonize the law on adoption, but
nevertheless proposes, in view of numerous illegal adoption practices, that the Member States be
encouraged to cooperate on the exchange of information and recognition of the authorities
responsible for adoption procedures ;

26 . Calls for the coordination of the law of descent at European level and considers that every
child must have the right to know who its biological parents are and to be informed about any
genetic abnormalities and whether these are hereditary ;

27 . Calls for the problem of children to be taken into account in the ' Europe Against AIDS '

programme ;

28 . Proposes that a programme be launched on the lines of ' SOS Kinderdorfer ' to help AIDS

governments of the Member States .
