THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 794/87 (2), and in particular Articles 3 (1) and 7 (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the basic price for sheep carcases is fixed, account should be taken both of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution the Community wishes to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the  main objectives of the common agricultural policy are to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and to ensure that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices;

COUNCIL DECISION
of 4 October 2004
on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States
(2004/740/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 128(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having consulted the European Economic and Social Committee,
Having regard to the Opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Having regard to the Opinion of the Employment Committee,
Whereas:
(1) The European Employment Strategy has the leading role in the implementation of the employment and labour market objectives of the Lisbon strategy. The reform of the European Employment Strategy in 2003 placed the emphasis on medium-term orientation and on the importance of implementation of the full range of policies recommended in the Employment Guidelines.
(2) The Employment Guidelines should be fully reviewed only every three years, while in the intermediate years their updating should remain strictly limited. The European Employment Taskforce recommended more forceful recommendations and a more effective use of peer review, rather than engaging in a process of further change of the Guidelines.
(3) The conclusions drawn by the European Employment Task Force and the examination of the Member States' National Action Plans for employment, both contained in the Joint Employment Report 2003-2004, show that Member States and the social partners should give priority to increasing the adaptability of workers and enterprises to changing economic conditions and labour market demands; attracting more people to enter and remain in the labour market and making work a real option for all, including by facilitating the access of unemployed young people to their first job and by encouraging older workers to stay in the labour market; investing more and more effectively in human capital and lifelong learning as well as in research and development, including platforms for excellence; and ensuring the effective implementation of reforms through better governance, including efforts aimed at improving democratic involvement, at convincing citizens of the need for reforms and at strengthening links between EU funding, the ESF in particular, and the implementation of the European Employment Guidelines. These priorities are fully consistent with, and can be pursued in the context of, the current Guidelines.
(4) The Employment Guidelines apply to the new Member States since accession.
(5) In addition to these Employment Guidelines, Member States should fully implement the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines and ensure that action is fully consistent with the maintenance of sound public finances and macro-economic stability,
The guidelines for Member States' employment policies as set out in the Annex to Council Decision 2003/578/EC of 22 July 2003 on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (3) are maintained and shall be taken into account by the Member States in their employment policies.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 (3), laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 21 March 1981, Italy has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "ETEC-Autospec WD/ED X-ray spectrometer", to be used in particular for the submicroscopic study of the surfaces of samples of animal and vegetable tissues, micro-organisms, minerals and processed metals, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 23 June 1981 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an X-ray spectrometer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the width of the spectrum and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities ; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community ; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus "Energy dispersive X-ray microanalyzer, System 860", manufactured by Link Systems, Halifax Road, High Wycombe, UK-Buckinghamshire HP12 3SE,
The apparatus described as "ETEC-Autospec WD/ED X-ray spectrometer", which is the subject of an application by Italy of 21 March 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
