On 18 February the Council adopted a Regulation establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of carrots and onions originating in the ACP States, for specific periods in 1980.'
Selv om beslutningen ikke gælder for specifik støtte, er Rådet og Kommissionen blevet enige om, at al støtte, uanset form eller oprindelse, og under hensyntagen til den aktuelle situation inden for jern- og stålindustrien, bør være under givet sammenhængende EF-regler.
In its Decision the Commission indicates the rules to be observed by associations of steel stockholders in connection with technical assistance to members in the matter of cost ing and information.
Med den ne beslutning har Kommissionen følgelig opfordret medlemsstaterne til at forhåndsanmeldc alle de tilfælde, hvor generelle og regionale støtteordninger inden for jern- og stålindustrien bringes i anvendelse.
The point is that the Commission can allow such associations to help small and mediumsized firms to calculate their costs accurately and fix rational selling prices. But this must not lead to a uniform pricing policy.

On 1 February the Commission reacted to a series of changes which the Land Government of North-Rhine Westphalia is planning to make to its regional economic aid programme.
Det er resultatet af fem domme, som Domstolen afsagde den 27. februar 19805), i sager, som Kommissionen havde anlagt mod fem medlemsstater i 1978 6) og 1979 7).
The changes, which were notified to the Commission as required by Article 93(3) of the EEC Treaty, chiefly con sist of extending the assisted areas.
For at komme ud af dødvandet havde Kommis­sionen den 26. juni 1979 9) tilsendt Rådet en
The Fund, which began operating at the beginning of 1979 and was temporarily accepted by the Commission subject to cer tain conditions,' is to encourage the conversion of areas whose economies are heavily dependent on iron and steel, shipbuilding and possibly textiles.

The Commission considered that the social and economic situation in the Saint Etienne employment basin and the decline in the steel and textile industries there warranted the extension of the Fund's catch ment area, but it informed the French Government that a new socio-economic analysis would be necessary if assistance from the Fund was to be extended before 31 December 1980.
Formålet med den foreslåede æn­dring er at muliggøre en ophævelse af specialise­ringsprincippet, for så vidt angår kreditforsikring i Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, og i stedet herfor indføre krav om større finansielle garantier fra de pågældende virksomheder.
It also reminded the French Govern ment that it must confine assistance to those areas of the Loire department that are assisted under the regional development premium scheme at the maximum rate.2
• for det andet er der, selv i de tilfælde, hvor del ikke ville være muligt at påvise en tilstrækkelig lighed mellem de pågældende produkter, alligevel så tilstrækkeligt fremtrædende fællestræk ved alle former for brændevin, at det i alle tilfælde må erkendes, at der eksisterer et — i det mindste delvist eller potentielt — konkurrenceforhold. EØF-traktatens artikel 95, stk. 2, gør sig derfor gældende i de tilfælde, hvor det er tvivlsomt eller omstridt, om der er et lighedsforhold mellem de særlige afarter af brændevin.
The purpose of the Decision, which received the Council's unanimous assent on 18 December 1979/ is to establish a framework ensuring that the state aids which are required for the restructuring of the industry in order to enable it to overcome the present crisis do not unduly distort competition.
meddelelse, hvori der blev foreslået kompromisløsninger på de principielle hovedproblemer, der var blevet rejst som følge af Kommissionens forslag fra 1972 (om øl, vin og alkohol); Rådet nåede imidlertid ikke på sin samling den 16. oktober 1979 ') frem til noget konkret resultat, da medlemsstaternes delegationer nemlig ønskede at kende udfaldet af de fem verserende sager om overtrædelse af EØF-traktatens artikel 95.
which it wished to make to its main regional aid scheme;' these had been notified as required by Article 93(3). The main changes consist of upgrading the assisted areas at Corby, East Midlands, and Shotton, Wales, Corby having been scheduled as an assisted area in mid-1979 in view of the impending closure of the steel works there.
De domme, som Domstolen afsagde den 27. februar 1980 i disse fem tilfælde, er således et nyt og vigtigt element.
The upgrading involves an increase in the amount of aid given and, in the case of Corby, the aid granted will exceed the Community maximum rate determined by the 1979 principles of coordination.2
Artikel 95 finder således under et uden forskel anvendelse for alle de pågældende produkter
The appraisal procedures provided for in the Decision are similar to those of the EEC Treaty.
Domstolen statuerede derfor, at Frankrig, Italien og Danmark, for så vidt angår produkter indført fra andre medlemsstater, ikke har overholdt de forpligtelser, der påhviler dem i henhold til EØF-traktatens artikel 95, og de skal derefter pålægge de nationale og de indførte brændevine samme afgiftsniveau.
Approving the changes, the Commission observed that the Corby and Shotton areas, both of which constitute labour markets, suffer from heavier unemployment than the national or Community averages and per capita incomes are below the Community average. Moreover, the local economies are dominated by steel works that are scheduled for closure, and further heavy unemployment is imminent (20% and 18% of the labour force respectively).
Tre af disse tilfælde vedrørte differentieret afgift, som Frankrig (sag 168/78), Italien (sag 169/78) og Danmark (sag 171/78) havde pålagt national brændevin til skade for indført brændevin.
Although the Decision only applies to specific aids, the Council and the Commission agreed that, in the present circumstances of the steel industry, all aids, whatever their form or origin, must be subject to a coherent Commun ity discipline.
Kom missionen havde desuden anlagt sag mod Det forenede Kongerige (sag 170/78) med henblik på at få konstateret, at bordvine, fremstillet af friske druer, i dette land belastes med en højere punkt afgift end øl (170/78) på en sådan måde, at sidst nævnte produkt beskyttes indirekte.
The Council took note that the Commission would use its powers under Article 67 of the ECSC Treaty and Articles 92 and 93 of the EEC Treaty to ensure that the principles and procedures applying to specific aids would also be applied in the case of general and regional aids.
I den sidste sag anfægtede Kommissionen den lovgivning, der blev anvendt af Irland (sag 55/79), i hvilken der fastsættes frister for betaling af punktafgifterne på produkterne, afhængigt af om det er drikkevarer, der er fremstillet i landet selv, eller drikkevarer, der er indført fra andre medlemsstater.
At the same time as it adopted the Decision the Commission accordingly requested Member States to notify it in advance of all cases of application to the steel industry of general and regional aid systems.
Forslag om en geografisk udvidelse af ordningen med gensidig bistand
Netherlands amendment is to abolish the principle of specialization in credit insurance in the Fed eral Republic of Germany and to replace it by stricter financial requirements for the com panies concerned.
Kommissionen har imødekommet de af Finland, Island, Norge og Sverige fremsatte an modninger om at blive inddraget under den nuværende ordning med gensidig bistand mellem medlemsstaternes skattemyndigheder inden for områderne direkte skatter og merværdiafgift ')· Kommissionen anmodede derfor den 25. februar 1980 Rådet om bemyndigelse til at indlede for handlinger med disse nordiske lande med henblik på indgåelse af en konvention med hver enkelt af disse stater om deres inddragelse under den pågældende fællesskabsordning med gensidig bistand.
At its 27-28 February plenary ses sion the Economic and Social Committee delivered an opinion2on the Commission proposal5of 10 July 1979 for a Council Directive on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to insurance contracts.
Bekæmpelsen af skattesvig og skatteunddragelse af international karakter vil nemlig blive mere effektiv, når den gensidige bistand udvides til at omfatte skattemyndigheder i tredjelande.
Under the arrangement the commercial banks were to be given certain facilities to help them finance export business at a rate of interest below the ordinary commercial rate; in the Commission's view this constituted a form of aid caught by Article 92(1) of the EEC Treaty.
For så vidt angår sag 55/79, konkluderede Domstolen, at Irland faktisk ikke havde overholdt de forpligtelser, det pålægges i henhold til traktatens artikel 95, stk. 1, idet landet har indført afgiftsbestemmelser med henblik på at give de irske producenter fordele med hensyn til fristen for betaling af afgifterne, fordele, som nægtes importørerne af samme produkter fra andre medlemsstater.
As the Dutch Government has undertaken to see that the arrangement is finally terminated, the Commission has now been able to close the procedure.

In the first three cases, concerning differential taxation of spirits, the Court of Justice agreed with the Commission that, whatever their special characteristics, all the products in question have common generic features, even though some of them may present specific properties to a degree that depends on the raw materials and production processes.
Udvalget var enig om, at drøftelsen måtte ses som en første fælles overvejelse af et emne af overordentlig stor betydning, og som fortsat burde have udvalgets op mærksomhed».
• First, there is an undetermined number of beverages that ought to be treated as 'similar products' within the meaning of the first paragraph of Article 95.
Der var enighed om, al Rådels resolution om tilpasning af arbejdstiden skal opfølges under hensyntagen lil den nye teknologis mulige indvirkning på beskæftigelsen.
In an attempt to break the deadlock, the Commission sent to the Council on 26 June 1979 a Communication5setting out com promise solutions to the main issues of principle raised by its 1972 proposals (concerning beer, wine and spirits); however, at its meet ing on 16 October 1979' the Council was unable to make any tangible progress, as the Member States' delegations were awaiting the outcome of the five cases pending before the Court on infringements of Article 95 of the EEC Treaty.
Arbejdslagernes repræsentanter mente, at den nye teknologi gør en nedsættelse af arbejdstiden endnu mere påkrævet.
The Court's judgments in these five cases thus add a new important dimension to the matter.

• Second, even where a sufficient degree of similarity between the products concerned could not be established, all spirits have com mon features which are sufficiently pro nounced for there to be in all cases a com petitive relationship that is at least partial or potential.
Den nye teknologi kunne... gøre det lettere for kvinder at besætte stillinger, til hvilke der kræves de højeste kvalifikationer.
