Ta sporazum določa ukrepe za krepitev upravnega sodelova- nja in izboljšanje delovnih odnosov med pogodbenicama pri pre- prečevanju preusmerjanja snovi, ki se pogosto uporabljajo za nedovoljeno proizvodnjo prepovedanih drog ali psihotropnih snovi, brez poseganja v ustrezno priznavanje legitimnih intere- sov trgovine in industrije. Nobena določba v tem sporazumu: — se ne sme razlagati neskladno z mednarodnimi pogodbami ZN o nadziranju prepovedanih drog ali 2. Pogodbenici si bosta v ta namen, kakor je določeno v tem sporazumu, pomagali zlasti pri: — spremljanju trgovine z razvrščenimi snovmi med njima, z namenom preprečevanja njihovega preusmerjanja v nedovo- ljene namene, — medsebojnem zagotavljanju posvetovanja o upravičenosti predlaganih transakcij z razvrščenimi snovmi, namenjenimi za tretje države, in — motiti obstoječih delovnih odnosov pri kazenskem pregonu zaradi prepovedanih drog med Združenimi državami in drža- vami članicami Skupnosti. — zagotavljanju medsebojne upravne pomoči za zagotovitev pravilne uporabe določb zakonodaje o nadzoru trgovine z ustreznimi snovmi. 11/Zv. 26 SL Uradni list Evropske unije 111 3. Brez poseganja v morebitne spremembe, ki se lahko sprejmejo v okviru pristojnosti Mešane skupine za spremljanje, se ta sporazum uporablja za kemijske snovi, naštete v Prilogi h Kon- venciji Združenih narodov proti nezakonitemu prometu z mamili in psihotropnimi snovmi iz leta 1988, kakor je bila spremenjena, v nadaljnjem besedilu „nadzorovane kemijske snovi“. Člen 3 Začasna ustavitev pošiljke 1. Brez poseganja v morebitno izvajanje tehničnih ukrepov pre- gona se pošiljke začasno ustavijo, če po mnenju katere od pogod- benic obstaja utemeljen sum, da bodo nadzorovane snovi preusmerjene v nedovoljeno proizvodnjo prepovedanih drog in psihotropnih snovi. NASLOV I 2. Pogodbenici se v okviru sodelovanja medsebojno zagotovita vse informacije v zvezi z domnevnimi preusmeritvami. TRGOVINA Z NADZOROVANIMI KEMIJSKIMI SNOVMI MED POGODBENICAMA Člen 2 Nadzor trgovine NASLOV II TRGOVINA Z NADZOROVANIMI KEMIJSKIMI SNOVMI Z DRUGIMI DRŽAVAMI 1. Pogodbenici se na lastno pobudo med seboj posvetujeta in obveščata o vsakem sumu o preusmeritvi nadzorovanih kemijskih snovi iz zakonite trgovine med njima v nedovoljeno proizvodnjo prepovedanih drog in psihotropnih snovi, zlasti če gre za pošiljko nenavadnega obsega ali v nenavadnih okoliščinah. Člen 4 Posvetovanje pred odpremo pošiljke 2. Pristojni organ pogodbenice izvoznice pri nadzorovanih kemijskih snoveh, naštetih v prilogi A k temu sporazumu, ob izdaji izvoznega dovoljenja ali ob prejetju obvestila o izvozu in čimprej posreduje kopijo navedenega dokumenta pristojnemu organu pogodbenice uvoznice. Če dobavitelj v državi izvoznici uporablja odprto individualno dovoljenje, ki zajema več posamič- nih izvozov, se posredujejo ustrezne informacije. 1. Brez poseganja v člene 6, 7 in 8 pristojni organ, kadar pri obravnavanju zaprosila za izvozno dovoljenje v tretjo državo sumi, da bi lahko bila zadevna nadzorovana kemijska snov preusmerjena v nedovoljeno proizvodnjo drog, posreduje ustrezne informacije drugi pogodbenici tega sporazuma, pri čemer pristojni organ te pogodbenice zaprosi za ustrezne informacije, ki jih ta ima in bi lahko potrdili ali ovrgli sum o možni preusmeritvi. 3. Za nadzorovane kemijske snovi, naštete v Prilogi B k temu sporazumu, se izvoz dovoli samo s privoljenjem pogodbenice uvoznice. 4. Pogodbenici se zavezujeta, da bosta vzajemno in pravočasno zagotavljali povratne informacije o vseh informacijah, predvide- nih v tem členu in o vseh ukrepih, ki jih ta člen zahteva. 5. Pri izvajanju zgoraj navedenih ukrepov nadzora trgovine se ustrezno upoštevajo legitimni interesi trgovine. Zlasti v primerih iz odstavka 3 mora biti odgovor pogodbenice uvoznice predlo- žen v 15 delovnih dneh po prejetju sporočila pogodbenice izvo- znice. Če v tem roku ni odgovora, se šteje, da je uvoz dovoljen. Zavrnitev izdaje uvoznega dovoljenja se pisno ali v elektronski obliki sporoči pogodbenici izvoznici v navedenem roku in mora biti dokumentirano utemeljena. 2. Zaprošena pogodbenica za izpolnitev zaprosila iz odstavka 1, če so potrebne informacije na razpolago, preišče svoje podat- kovne zbirke ali druge razpoložljive vire informacij v zvezi s primerom ter ugotovitve sporoči pogodbenici prosilki. Če je le mogoče, se odgovor sporoči v petih delovnih dneh od prejetja zaprosila. 3. Organ prosilec na lastno odgovornost in z ustrezno oceno vseh vidikov primera odloči, ali bo izdal dovoljenje, ga zavrnil ali sprejel kakšen drug ukrep v zvezi z zadevnim izvozom. Nato o sprejeti odločitvi obvesti zaprošeni organ. 4. Pogodbenici se takoj obvestita o vsakem sklepu o zaustavitvi pošiljke nadzorovanih kemijskih snovi v tretje države, za katero menita, da je v interesu druge pogodbenice ter o pošiljki sporo- čita vse ustrezne informacije. 112 SL Uradni list Evropske unije 11/Zv. 26 Člen 5 Druge informacije Člen 7 Izmenjava informacij in zaupnost Pogodbenici si brez poseganja v člene 6, 7 in 8 redno izmenjujeta druge podatke in informacije o trendih in razmerah, ki so zaželeni za uresničevanje namenov tega sporazuma. NASLOV III SPLOŠNE DOLOČBE Člen 6 Medsebojna upravna pomoč 1. Pogodbenici si na lastno pobudo ali na zaprosilo izročata vse informacije za preprečevanje preusmerjanja nadzorovanih kemij- skih snovi v nedovoljeno proizvodnjo prepovedanih drog in psihotropnih snovi in raziskujeta primere domnevnih preusmeri- tev. Če je potrebno, sprejmeta ustrezne previdnostne ukrepe za preprečevanje preusmerjanja. 2. Na vsako zaprosilo za informacije ali za uvedbo previdnost- nih ukrepov se čimprej odgovori. 3. Zaprosila za upravno pomoč se obravnavajo v skladu z zakoni in drugimi predpisi zaprošene pogodbenice. 1. Osebni podatki se lahko izmenjujejo le pod pogojem, da se pogodbenica, ki jih je prejela, zaveže, da bo tem podatkom zago- tovila vsaj takšno raven varstva, kakor jo v takšnem primeru uporablja pogodbenica, ki je te podatke poslala. V ta namen si pogodbenici posredujeta podatke o veljavnih standardih pogod- benic, po potrebi skupaj s pravnimi standardi držav članic Skup- nosti. 2. Vsaka informacija, sporočena v kakršnikoli obliki v skladu s tem sporazumom, je zaupne narave oziroma zanjo velja omejen dostop, glede na pravila, ki se uporabljajo v državah pogodbeni- cah in se uporablja samo za namene tega sporazuma. Takšna informacija je v državi pogodbenici, ki jo je prejela, deležna enake zaščite glede zaupnosti in uradne tajnosti, kot se v tej pogodbenici uporablja za podobne informacije po ustreznih zakonih pogod- benice, ki jo je prejela. 3. Pomoč se lahko preloži na poznejši čas ali pogoji, če bi sicer ovirala preiskavo v teku, sodni pregon ali postopek, ali ogrozila varnost občutljivih virov in postopke zbiranja informacij. V takš- nem primeru se organ, ki bi lahko nudil pomoč, posvetuje s pri- stojnim organom druge pogodbenice, da ugotovita, ali je mogoče ponuditi pomoč pod takšnimi pogoji, kakor jih lahko zahteva zaprošeni organ. 4. Pridobljene informacije se uporabljajo samo za namene tega sporazuma. Če ena od pogodbenic zahteva te informacije za druge namene, mora predhodno zaprositi upravni organ, ki je informacije posredoval, za pisno dovoljenje. Poleg tega mora upoštevati omejitve, ki jih določi ta organ. 4. Uslužbenci pogodbenice so lahko sporazumno z drugo pogodbenico navzoči ob poizvedbah, ki se izvajajo na ozemlju te pogodbenice. 5. Odstavek 4 ne preprečuje uporabe informacij v sodnih ali upravnih postopkih, ki se sprožijo zaradi neizpolnjevanja zako- nodaje o nadzoru snovi. O taki uporabi se obvesti pristojni organ, ki je to informacijo posredoval. 5. Pogodbenici si med seboj pomagata pri lajšanju zagotavljanja dokazov. 6. Upravna pomoč, predvidena v tem členu, ne posega v pravila o medsebojni pravni pomoči v kazenskih zadevah, prav tako pa se ne uporablja za informacije, pridobljene po pooblastilih, ki se izvajajo na zahtevo sodnega organa, razen če slednji to dovoli. 7. Zaprosi se lahko za informacije o kemijskih snoveh, ki se pogosto uporabljajo v nedovoljeni proizvodnji prepovedanih drog ali psihotropnih snovi, vendar niso zajete v področje uporabe tega sporazuma. Člen 8 Izjeme pri obveznosti zagotavljanja pomoči 1. Pogodbenici si prizadevata, da rutinsko nudita informacije in pomoč, za katere sta zaprošeni. 11/Zv. 26 SL Uradni list Evropske unije 113 2. Če zaprošena pogodbenica meni, da bi ugoditev zaprosilu: Člen 11 — kršila suverenost Združenih držav ali države članice Skupno- sti ali Mešana skupina za spremljanje — predstavljala resno vprašanje javne politike, varnosti ali drugih bistvenih interesov, zlasti v primerih iz člena 7(1) v zvezi s fizičnimi osebami in člena 7(3) v zvezi z nezaključenimi pre- iskavami, sodnimi pregoni ali postopki in varnostjo občutlji- vih virov in postopki zbiranja informacij ali — bila v nasprotju s pravnim sistemom zaprošene pogodbenice, vključno s pravnim sistemom držav članic Skupnosti, ki nudijo pomoč, lahko pomoč zavrne ali jo pogoji z izpolnjevanjem nekaterih pogojev ali zahtev. 3. Če pogodbenica zaprosi za pomoč, ki je sama delno ali v celoti ne bi mogla nuditi, če bi bila sama zaprošena zanjo, v svojem zaprosilu to navede. Druga pogodbenica se nato odloči, v kakšni obliki bo odgovorila na zaprosilo. 4. Če je pomoč odklonjena po tem členu, je treba odločitev in razloge zanjo brez odlašanja sporočiti drugi pogodbenici. Člen 9 Tehnično in znanstveno sodelovanje Pogodbenici sodelujeta pri opredeljevanju novih metod preusmerjanja in oblikovanju ustreznih protiukrepov, skupaj s tehničnim sodelovanjem, namenjenim krepitvi upravnih struktur in struktur pregona na tem področju ter spodbujata sodelovanje s trgovino in industrijo. Takšno tehnično sodelovanje se lahko zlasti nanaša na usposabljanje in programe izmenjav za zadevne uradnike. Člen 10 Ukrepi za izvajanje 1. Vsaka pogodbenica določi pristojni organ ali pristojne organe za koordiniranje izvajanja tega sporazuma. Ti organi med seboj neposredno komunicirajo za namene tega sporazuma. 2. Pogodbenici se obveščata o določbah, ki izvajanje tega sporazuma. jih sprejmeta za 1.

Poudarjata, da je takšna skupna razlaga nujna za spoštovanje pravnega sistema, navedenega v členu 8(2). Pogodbenici prav tako poudarjata skupni temelj za zaupanje in sodelovanje ter željo, da zagotovita skupno in dopolnjujočo se uporabo določb tega sporazuma. 120 SL Uradni list Evropske unije 11/Zv. 26 PRILOŽEN INSTRUMENT O ČLENU 13 SPORAZUMA Pismo Skupnosti Haag, 28. maja 1997 Pogodbenici v zvezi s Sporazumom o nadzoru kemikalij med Evropsko skupnostjo in Združenimi državami Amerike soglašata, da niti po svojih najboljših močeh ne moreta ugotoviti nobenih dvostranskih izvršilnih sporazumov, memorandumov o soglasju ali drugih podobnih instrumentov, sklenjenih med Združenimi državami in posameznimi državami članicami Skupnosti, ki bi izrecno obravnavali nadzorovane kemijske snovi. Tako je ta sporazum edini sporazum, ki izrecno obravnava nadzorovane kemijske snovi na področju upravnega sodelovanja. Evropska skupnost izjavlja, da po določbah Pogodbe ES in zlasti člena 228(7) Pogodbe, če so določbe dvostranskih izvršilnih sporazumov, memorandumov o soglasju ali drugih podobnih instrumentov, ki so morda že sklenjeni med državo članico Skupnosti in Združenimi državami, nezdružljive z določbami tega sporazuma, imajo slednje prednost, če nezdružljivost zadeva izključno pristojnost Skupnosti, kakor se izvaja z zakonodajo Skupnosti, o nadzorovanih kemijskih snoveh. Vendar na določbe teh drugih sporazumov med državami članicami Skupnosti in Združenimi državami ni vpliva, če urejajo zadeve, ki sodijo v področje delovanja naslova VI Pogodbe o Evropski uniji. Pogodbenici se v primeru negotovosti glede izvajanja tega sporazuma ali določb takšnih dopolnilnih sporazumov takoj posvetujeta in ustrezno ukrepata, da rešita zadevo.

(98/C 60/72) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1799/97 van Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) aan de Commissie (28 mei 1997) Betreft: Belastingongelijkheid voor automobielen in Griekenland en de overige lidstaten Griekenland heeft met wet nr. 2459/97 een einde gemaakt aan de vrijstelling van belasting bij de invoer van vervoermiddelen die tot de persoonlijke bezittingen behoren voor slechts e·e·n categorie repatrie¤rende Grieken, hetgeen reeds geldt voor degenen die terugkeren om zich definitief in Griekenland te vestigen na een verblijf van meer dan twee aaneensluitende jaren in het buitenland als werknemers met een al dan niet afhankelijke arbeidsverhouding. Tevens legt deze wet een bijzondere verbruiksbelasting en BTW op waarbij de hoogte afhankelijk is van de datum van definitieve vestiging van de bezitters van de desbetreffende automobielen. De datum van afgifte/verwerving van het door de douaneautoriteiten vereiste verhuisbewijs wordt hierbij als criterium gehanteerd voor het bedrag van de belastingen, waarbij volledig over het hoofd wordt gezien dat het hier niet gaat om intracommunautaire verwerving van een gebruikte personenauto in Griekenland ter fine van belastingheffing aangezien er al registratie in andere lidstaten heeft plaatsgevonden, terwijl ook volstrekt geen rekening wordt gehouden met de waardedaling van de auto(cid:146)s bij het vaststellen van de belastingwaarde. Welke maatregelen kan de Commissie nemen om deze belastingheffing ongedaan te maken, met de overweging dat de bezitters van genoemde automobielen nooit tot aanschaf daarvan zouden zijn overgegaan als zij geweten hadden dat hun dergelijke belastingen zouden worden opgelegd? Antwoord van de heer Monti namens de Commissie (10 juli 1997) Het geachte Parlementslid heeft het geval aangehaald waarin natuurlijke personen een voertuig hebben verworven en de BTW hebben betaald in de lidstaat waar zij hun (cid:132)gewone woonplaats(cid:148) hadden en die dit voertuig vervolgens hebben overgebracht naar een andere lidstaat waar zij hun nieuwe (cid:132)gewone woonplaats(cid:148) willen vestigen. In een dergelijk geval is er volgens het Gemeenschapsrecht, namelijk de Zesde BTW-Richtlijn (77/388/EEG) (1) geen reden om opnieuw BTW te heffen. Indien het geachte Parlementslid kennis heeft van welbepaalde dossiers, wil de Commissie deze gaarne bestuderen. Zij zou niet nalaten de nodige maatregelen te treffen ingeval vast zou komen te staan dat het Gemeenschapsrecht niet wordt nageleefd. (1) PB L 145 van 13. 6. 1977.

text: C 21/98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 22. 1. 98 All the specific amounts which form part of the duty applied to processed agricultural products including food preparations containing cassava falling under code 1901 90 99 of the combined nomenclature were bound in the General agreement on tariffs and trade Uruguay Round settlement. These bindings were based upon the average of the levies applied over the period 1986 to 1988. (1) OJ L 318, 20. 12. 1993. (98/C 21/201) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1806/97 by Robert Evans (PSE) to the Commission (28 May 1997) Subject: EU quotas on electrical goods Would the Commission give a detailed outlay of any restrictions on the import of electrical wiring accessories (plugs, switches, sockets), into the European Union? Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (18 July 1997) Electrical wiring accessories, like switches, plugs and sockets, are not subject to Community quotas on imports. Some restrictions are applied to such products imported from Iraq or Libya (1). No particular restriction based on technical rules and standards exists for imported electrical equipment subject to Community harmonisation. In fact, as far as conditions applicable to placing on the Community market are concerned, electrical equipment, including wiring accessories, is subject to Directive 73/23/EEC, as modified by Directive 93/68/EEC, on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (the low voltage Directive) (2). Products imported from third countries into the Community must comply with exactly the same Community rules which apply to domestically produced electrical equipment. The low voltage Directive sets the essential safety requirements applicable. A declaration of conformity by the manufacturer or his authorised representative is required and must be kept at the disposal of market surveillance authorities. No third party certification is required. For plugs and sockets for domestic use excluded from the scope of that Directive, national provisions and standards are in force. (1) The electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (switches, fuses lightning arresters, voltage limiters, surge suppresors, plugs, junction boxes and the like), for a voltage exceeding 1,000 volts, of CN heading 8535 and the same types of apparatus, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts, of heading 8536 intended strictly for essential civilian needs or for medical purposes are excluded from the ban applying to products originating in Iraq, but require a preliminary import authorisation, pursuant to paragraph 23 of United Nations Security Council Resolution 687/1991, to be delivered by the committee established under Security Council Resolution 661/1990, before their import into the Community can be approved. Import into the Community of all components for use in certain types of aircraft within the two mentioned headings originating in Libya is banned, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) 3274/93 › OJ L 295, 30. 11. 1993. (2) OJ L 220, 30. 8. 1997.

text: 10. 2. 98 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee C 45/105 (98/C 45/130) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1802/97 di Robert Evans (PSE) alla Commissione (28 maggio 1997) Oggetto: Norme europee in materia di inquinamento e triturazione del legno Quali sono le norme o gli incentivi comunitari che incoraggiano le imprese a limitare o ad arrestare la combustione del legno e a sostituirla con la triturazione del legno? Risposta data dalla Signora Bjerregaard a nome della Commissione (9 luglio 1997) La Commissione non e‘ a conoscenza di norme in materia. La combustione del legno e‘ un(cid:146)importante fonte di energia per l(cid:146)industria forestale europea e non solo per essa. Se effettuata in impianti a combustione controllata essa contribuisce all(cid:146)uso efficiente delle materie prime, genera emissioni relativamente pulite e riduce il ricorso ad altre fonti di energia, in particolare ai combustibili fossili. Incoraggiare le imprese a ridurre o ad interrompere la combustione del legno non sarebbe percio‘ compatibile con una valida politica per l(cid:146)ambiente. (98/C 45/131) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1808/97 di Gary Titley (PSE) alla Commissione (28 maggio 1997) Oggetto: Programma MEDA per la democrazia Puo‘ la Commissione illustrare i suoi criteri per la selezione dei progetti da finanziare nel quadro del programma MEDA per la democrazia? Risposta data dal sig. Mar(cid:14)·n a nome della Commissione (24 giugno 1997) Per la gestione del programma MEDA per la democrazia, alla luce dell(cid:146)esperienza maturata nell(cid:146)attuare gli altri programmi destinati alla promozione della democrazia, la Commissione ha stabilito, in un documento orientativo, i criteri e le condizioni di eleggibilita‘ dei progetti che possono beneficiare di un sostegno nel quadro di questo programma. A tale documento e‘ stato dedicato un opuscolo ampiamente diffuso tra gli operatori del settore. In particolare, i criteri di selezione sono: › i beneficiari Il programma promuove i diritti dell(cid:146)uomo e la democrazia nei paesi partner dell(cid:146)Unione che hanno sottoscritto la dichiarazione di Barcellona (Algeria, Marocco, Cipro, Egitto, Israele, Giordania, Libano, Malta, Siria, Tunisia, Turchia, Autorita‘ Palestinese). Sono ammissibili progetti locali e regionali. › settori indicativi d(cid:146)intervento Si tratta di diritti politici quali la democrazia (sostegno ai processi elettorali, fondazione di centri d(cid:146)informazione, sensibilizzazione, formazione, istituzione di centri di sondaggio) e lo Stato di diritto (riforma istituzionale, formazione di agenti dello Stato, sostegno per il miglioramento delle condizioni di detenzione, appoggio alle istituzioni impegnate nella difesa dei diritti dell(cid:146)uomo, promozione della trasparenza nell(cid:146)amministrazione pubblica). I diritti civili comprendono la liberta‘ di espressione (garanzia di pluralismo e indipendenza dei mezzi di comunicazione, sviluppo di codici deontologici, sostegno ai professionisti), la liberta‘ di riunione e associazione (contatti collettivi tra i partiti politici e, in generale, difesa della societa‘ civile) e le altre liberta‘ (di religione, di movimento). I diritti socio-economici prevedono il sostegno ai sindacati e la formazione. La protezione delle categorie bersaglio comprende le donne (integrazione nella vita politica e economica, sensibilizzazione), i bambini, le minoranze, i rifugiati, gli sfollati, le vittime della tortura e i prigionieri

text: 22. 1. 98 DA De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende C 21/101 (98/C 21/207) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-1827/97 af Alfonso Novo Belenguer (ARE) til Kommissionen (28. maj 1997) Om: Import af kartofler i EU Der er tradition for dyrkning af kartofler i Valencia-omr(cid:229)det. Tusinder af familier er afh(cid:230)ngige af, at kartoflerne kan afs(cid:230)ttes p(cid:229) det europ(cid:230)iske marked. I modstrid med princippet om f(cid:230)llesskabspr(cid:230)ference skades denne sektor imidlertid i alvorlig grad af den massive import af kartofler fra tredjelande, is(cid:230)r Egypten, idet denne medfłrer fald i noteringen helt ned til 20 pesetas. Dette belłb giver ikke de valencianske landm(cid:230)nd mulighed for endsige at afskrive de udgifter, der er forbundet med kartoffeldyrkningen. P(cid:229) trods af krisen i n(cid:230)vnte sektor, som allerede har strakt sig over to p(cid:229) hinanden fłlgende produktions(cid:229)r, har EU tilbudt Egypten toldfri adgang for 220. 000 ton kartofler. Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen at tr(cid:230)ffe for at afbłde de tab, som kartoffelsektoren har lidt som fłlge af pr(cid:230)ferenceaftalen med Egypten? Hvorn(cid:229)r tr(cid:230)der disse foranstaltninger i givet fald i kraft? Agter Kommissionen at sikre landm(cid:230)ndene en minimumsindkomst? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Franz Fischler (27. juni 1997) Forhandlingerne med Egypten blev indledt i 1995 og foreg(cid:229)r stadig. Et af de ulłste elementer i forhandlingerne er arrangementet vedrłrende gensidige landbrugsindrłmmelser, hvor der er afstand mellem de to parters holdninger. F(cid:230)llesskabets holdning bygger p(cid:229) de forhandlingsdirektiver, som R(cid:229)det vedtog i 1995. Ifłlge aftalen fra 1997, som g(cid:230)lder for łjeblikket, kan 109 000 t tidlige egyptiske kartofler importeres toldfrit mellem den 1. januar og den 31. marts hvert (cid:229)r. Den gennemsnitlige egyptiske eksport i perioden 1994-1996 var p(cid:229) 204 000 t med et maksimum p(cid:229) 271 000 t i 1995. Den faktiske eksport afh(cid:230)nger i hłj grad af markedssituationen i F(cid:230)llesskabet, s(cid:229)ledes at rekordeksporten i 1995 falder sammen med en periode med ringe intern forsyning. Den egyptiske eksport i pr(cid:230)ferenceperioden tegner sig for 140 000 t (gennemsnitstal), medens 64 000 t eksporteres fra den 1. april til den 15. maj (med fuld told). Da der ikke findes nogen f(cid:230)lles markedsordning for kartofler, har Kommissionen ikke nogen kompetence til at regulere kartoffelmarkedet i Europa. Kommissionen er fuldt ud klar over problemerne som fłlge af den manglende f(cid:230)lles markedsordning for kartofler og foreslog i 1992 at indfłre en s(cid:229)dan ordning (1). Den er fortsat overbevist om, at det eksisterende forslag udgłr det bedste kompromis, der tager hensyn til de forskellige synspunkter, medlemsstaterne har givet udtryk for.

text: L_1997164EN. 01002401. xml 21. 6. 1997    EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 164/24 AGREEMENT between the European Community and the United States of America on precursors and chemical substances frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Community’, of the one part, and THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, hereinafter referred to as ‘the United States’, of the other part, DETERMINED, to prevent and combat the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances by controlling the supply of precursors and chemical substances frequently used for such purposes; ACKNOWLEDGING Article 12 of the United Nations Convention of 1988 against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances; AGREEING with the final Report of the Chemical Action Task Force (CATF), approved by the London G 7 Economic Summit on 15 July 1991, which recommended the strengthening of international cooperation by the conclusion of bilateral agreements, in particular between regions and countries involved in export, import and transit of these chemical substances; CONVINCED that international trade constitutes a specific risk factor and that only cooperative arrangements between the regions concerned can prevent this danger, in particular by linking export and import controls; AFFIRMING their common commitment to setting up assistance and cooperation mechanisms between the United States and the Community in order to combat the diversion of controlled substances to illicit purposes, in harmony with the orientations and actions decided at the international level; UNDERLINING their common will to improve the current information exchange between relevant agencies, and without disturbing the existing working relations between them; RECOGNIZING that these chemical substances are also mainly and widely used for legitimate purposes and that international trade must not be hindered by excessive monitoring procedures; HAVING DECIDED to conclude an Agreement for the control of precursors and chemical substances frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS: Article 1 Scope of the Agreement 1. This Agreement sets out measures to strengthen administrative cooperation and to improve working relations between the Contracting Parties to prevent the diversion of substances frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, without prejudice to the due recognition of the legitimate interests of trade and industry. Nothing in this Agreement: — may be interpreted in a manner which is inconsistent with the UN international drug-control treaties, or — shall disturb existing working law enforcement relations in drug-related matters between the United States and the Member States of the Community. 2. For this purpose, the Contracting Parties shall assist each other, as set out in this Agreement, notably in: — monitoring the trade between them in scheduled substances, with the aim of preventing their diversion to illicit purposes, — granting each other the means of mutual consultation on the legitimacy of proposed transactions in scheduled substances destined for third countries, and — providing mutual administrative assistance to ensure that the provisions of the relevant substance trade control legislation are correctly applied. 3. Without prejudice to possible ammendments which might be adopted within the competence of the Joint Follow-up Group, this Agreement applies to the chemical substances listed in the Annex to the 1988 UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psycho-tropic Substances as amended, hereinafter referred to as ‘controlled chemical substances’. TITLE I TRADE IN CONTROLLED CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES BETWEEN THE CONTRACTING PARTIES Article 2 Trade surveillance 1. The Contracting Parties shall consult and inform each other on their own initiative of any suspicion that controlled chemical substances may be diverted from legitimate trade between them to the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, in particular when a shipment occurs in unusual quantities or under unusual circumstances. 2. With regard to the controlled chemical substances listed in Annex A to this Agreement, the competent authority of the exporting Contracting Party shall, at the same time as the export authorization is issued or a notification of export is received, and as soon as possible, forward a copy of this information to the competent authority of the importing Contracting Party. Specific information shall be provided where the operator benefits, in the exporting country, from an open individual authorization covering multiple export operations. 3. With regard to the controlled chemical substances listed in Annex B to this Agreement, the export shall be authorized only when the importing Contracting Party has given its consent. 4. The Contracting Parties undertake to provide, reciprocally and in good time, due feedback on any information provided or measure requested pursuant to this Article. 5. When implementing the abovementioned trade control measures, the legitimate interests of trade shall be duly respected. In particular, in cases covered by paragraph 3, the reply by the importing Contracting Party shall be provided within 15 working days after the reception of the message from the exporting Contracting Party. The absence of a reply within this time period shall be deemed as granting an import authorization. The refusal to grant an import authorization shall be notified in writing, including electronic means, to the exporting Contracting Party within this time period and the reasons for it must be documented. Article 3 Suspension of shipment 1. Without prejudice to any possible implementation of technical enforcement measures, shipments shall be suspended if, in the opinion of either Contracting Party, there are reasonable grounds to believe that controlled chemical substances may be diverted to the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances. 2. The Contracting Parties shall cooperate in supplying each other with information relating to suspected diversion operations. TITLE II TRADE IN CONTROLLED CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES WITH OTHER COUNTRIES Article 4 Pre-shipment consultation 1. Without prejudice to Articles 6, 7 and 8, whenever a competent authority, in processing a request for an export authorization to a third country, suspects that the controlled chemical substances involved may be diverted to the illicit manufacture of drugs, appropriate information should normally be relayed to the other Contracting Party to this Agreement, with the request to the competent authority of that Contracting Party for relevant information in its possession which may confirm or refute the possible diversion. 2. To Comply with the request mentioned in paragraph 1, provided that the necessary information has been made available, the requested Contracting Party shall search its databases or other available sources for information relating to the case and communicate its findings to the requesting Contracting Party. Whenever possible, the reply should be given within five working days after receipt of the request. 3. The requesting authority, on its own responsibility and with due assessment of all the elements of the case, shall determine whether to authorize, deny or take other action concerning the export in question. It shall then notify the requested authority of the decision taken. 4. The Contracting Parties shall immediately notify each other of any decision to stop a shipment of controlled chemical substances to third countries, which they believe may be of interest to the other Contracting Party, and shall provide such information regarding the shipment as appropriate. Article 5 Other information Without prejudice to Articles 6, 7 and 8, the Contracting Parties shall periodically exchange other data and information concerning trends and circumstances as seem desirable to achieve the purposes of this Agreement. TITLE III GENERAL PROVISIONS Article 6 Mutual administrative assistance 1. The Contracting Parties shall supply to each other, either on their own initiative or on request, information to prevent the diversion of controlled chemical substances to the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psycho-tropic substances and shall investigate cases of suspected diversion. When necessary, they shall adopt appropriate precautionary measures to prevent diversion. 2. Any request for information or precautionary measures shall be responded to as promptly as possible. 3. Requests for administrative assistance shall be executed in accordance with the laws, regulations and other legal instruments of the requested Contracting Party. 4. Officials of a Contracting Party may, with the agreement of the other Contracting Party, be present at the inquiries carried out in the territory of the latter. 5. The Contracting Parties shall assist each other to facilitate the provision of evidence. 6. Administrative assistance provided pursuant to this Article shall not prejudice the rules governing mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, nor shall it apply to information obtained under powers exercised at the request of a judicial authority, unless the authority so agrees. 7. Information may be requested in respect of chemical substances which are frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances but which are not included in the scope of this Agreement. Article 7 Information exchange and confidentiality 1. Data relating to natural persons may be exchanged only where the receiving Contracting Party undertakes to afford such data with at least substantially the same level of protection as the one applicable to that particular instance in the Contracting Party liable to supply them. To this end, the Contracting Parties shall provide each other with information setting forth the applicable standards of the Contracting Parties, including where appropriate the legal standards of the Member States of the Community. 2. Any information communicated in whatsoever form pursuant to this Agreement shall be of a confidential or restricted nature, depending on the rules applicable in each of the Contracting Parties, and shall be used solely for the purposes of this Agreement. Such information shall be afforded in the receiving Contracting Party the same protection in respect of confidentiality and official secrecy as applies in that Contracting Party to similar information under the relevant laws of the Contracting Party which received it. 3. Assistance may be postponed, or provided with conditions, on the ground that it would otherwise interfere with an ongoing investigation, prosecution or proceeding, or jeopardize the security of sensitive sources and methods of gathering information. In such a case, the authority which could provide assistance shall consult with the competent authority of the other Contracting Party to determine if assistance can be given subject to such terms or conditions as the providing authority may require. 4. Information obtained shall be used solely for the purposes of this Agreement. Where one of the Contracting Parties requests the use of such information for other purposes, it shall ask for the prior written consent of the authority which furnished the information. Moreover, such use shall be subject to any restrictions laid down by that authority. 5. Paragraph 4 shall not impede the use of information in any judicial or administrative proceedings subsequently instituted for failure to comply with substance control legislation. The competent authority which supplied that information shall be notified of such use. Article 8 Exceptions to the obligation to provide assistance 1. The Contracting Parties shall make every reasonable effort to routinely provide requested information and assistance. 2. In cases where the requested Contracting Party is of the opinion that compliance with the request would: — infringe upon the sovereignty of the United States or of a Member State of the Community, or — present a serious issue of public policy, security or other essential interests, in particular the cases referred to in Article 7(1) concerning natural persons, and in Article 7 (3) concerning ongoing investigations, prosecutions or proceedings and the security of sensitive sources and methods of gathering information, or — be contrary to the legal system of the requested Contracting Party, including, where appropriate, the legal system of the Member States of the Community liable to provide the assistance, assistance can be refused or compliance may be made subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions or requirements. 3. If one Contracting Party requests assistance which it could not itself supply entirely or partially pursuant to a similar request, it shall so state in its request. The other Contracting Party shall then decide in what form it can comply with the request. 4. If assistance is refused under this Article, the decision and its explanatory reasons shall be communicated without delay to the other Contracting Party. Article 9 Technical and scientific cooperation The Contracting Parties shall cooperate in the identification of new diversion methods as well as appropriate countermeasures, including technical cooperation to strengthen administrative and enforcement structures in this field and to promote cooperation with trade and industry. Such technical cooperation may concern, in particular, training and exchange programmes for the officials concerned. Article 10 Implementation measures 1. Each Contracting Party shall identify a competent authority or competent authorities to coordinate the application of this Agreement. These authorities shall communicate directly with one another for the purposes of this Agreement. 2. The Contracting Parties shall keep each other informed of the provisions which they adopt for the implementation of this Agreement. Article 11 Joint Follow-up Group 1. A Joint Follow-up Group on the control of precursors and chemical substances is hereby established, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Joint Follow-up Group’, in which each Contracting Party to this Agreement shall be represented. 2.

The Joint Follow-up Group shall adopt by mutual consent decisions to amend Annexes A and B. Such decisions shall be implemented by the Contracting Parties in accordance with their own legislation. If, in the Joint Follow-up Group, a representative of a Contracting Party has accepted a decision subject to the completion of procedures necessary for that purpose, the decision shall enter into force, if no date is contained therein, on the first day of the second month after such a completion is notified. 3.

They stress that such a common interpretation is indispensable to respect the legal system referred to in Article 8 (2). The Contracting Parties further stress their common basis for trust and cooperation and the desirability for ensuring a common and mutually complementary application of the provisions of this Agreement. SIDE INSTRUMENT CONCERNING ARTICLE 13 The Hague, 28 May 1997 With respect to the Chemical Control Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America, the Contracting Parties agree that, to the best of their collective knowledge, they cannot identify any bilateral executive agreements, memoranda of understanding, or other similar instruments between the United States and individual Member States of the Community that specifically address the issue of controlled chemical substances. Thus, the present Agreement is the only agreement that specifically addresses the issue of controlled chemical substances in the field of administrative cooperation. The European Community states that, under the provisions of the EC Treaty, and in particular Article 228 (7) thereof, in so far as provisions of bilateal executive agreements, memoranda of understanding, or other similar instruments that may have been previously concluded between any of the Member States of the Community and the United States are incompatible with those of this Agreement, the latter shall govern in so far as the incompatibility concerns the exclusive competence of the Community as exercised through Community legislation referring to controlled chemical substances. However, the provisions of these other agreements between Member States of the Community and the United States are not affected in so far as they address issues which fall within the scope of Title VI of the Treaty on European Union. When there are uncertainties as to the applicability of this Agreement or the provisions of any such complementary agreements, the Contracting Parties will consult promptly and take appropriate steps to resolve the matter. Hans van MIERLO The Hague, 28 May 1997 I have the honour to ackowledge receipt of your letter, dated today, concerning the applicability of the USA-EC Agreement on precursors and chemical substances frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, which reads as follows: ‘With respect to the Chemical Control Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America, the Contracting Parties agree that, to the best of their collective knowledge, they cannot identify any bilateral executive agreements, memoranda of understanding, or other similar instruments between the United States and individual Member States of the Community that specifically address the issue of controlled chemical substances. Thus, the present Agreement is the only agreement that specifically addresses the issue of controlled chemical substances in the field of administrative cooperation. The European Community states that, under the provisions of the EC Treaty, and in particular Article 228 (7) thereof, in so far as provisions of bilateral executive agreements, memoranda of understanding, or other similar instruments that may have been previously concluded between any of the Member States of the Community and the United States are incompatible with those of this Agreement, the latter shall govern in so far as the incompatibility concerns the exclusive competence of the Community as exercised through Community legislation referring to controlled chemical substances. However, the provisions of these other agreements between Member States of the Community and the United States are not affected in so far as they address issues which fall within the scope of Title VI of the Treaty on European Union. When there are uncertainties as to the applicability of this Agreement or the provisions of any such complementary agreements, the Contracting Parties will consult promptly and take appropriate steps to resolve the matter. ’ The United States shares the common understandings recorded in that letter and takes note of the EC statement contained therein. The United States confirms that, in the event of a question regarding the possible compatibility of provisions of this Agreement and of other bilateral executive agreements, memoranda of understanding, or other similar instruments, it stands ready to consult promptly with the Community with a view to a satisfactory resolution of the question.

Puo‘, eventualmen- te, instaurarsi una compartecipazione tra uno o piu‘ operatori. I progetti presentati dai singoli partiti politici non sono beneficiari. E‘ escluso il sostegno agli operatori che incitano alla violenza e che non rispettano i diritti dell(cid:146)uomo universalmente riconosciuti. › condizioni specifiche La partecipazione finanziaria della Comunita‘ non puo‘ superare l(cid:146)80% del bilancio totale valutato. Gli altri sovvenzionatori devono essere specificati. In casi eccezionali, puo‘ essere concesso un finanziamento integrale (100%). Le spese amministrative non possono superare il 6% del bilancio totale. I progetti gia‘ avviati o realizzati non sono ammissibili. In particolare, i progetti regionali non devono essere sovvenzionati a titolo dei programmi di cooperazione decentrata nel Mediterraneo. Non e‘ permesso cumulare due diversi finanziamenti del bilancio comunitario. › presentazione e realizzazione dei progetti Il beneficiario di un finanziamento comunitario deve presentare un formulario di domanda accompagnato da una proposta di progetto, in cui siano indicati con chiarezza gli antecedenti, gli obiettivi generali e specifici dell(cid:146)azione, la giustificazione, la metodologia, le attivita‘ previste, la durata e il bilancio dettagliato in Ecu. (98/C 45/132) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1814/97 di Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) alla Commissione (28 maggio 1997) Oggetto: Restauro dei luoghi santi del cristianesimo Il Patriarca di Gerusalemme Diodoro ha recentemente dichiarato che il restauro dei luoghi santi del cristianesimo a Gerusalemme rappresenta un problema prioritario. Tra i luoghi santi rientrano il Santo Sepolcro, il Golgota e Betlemme, che sono simboli della fede cristiana e che e‘ urgente restaurare. Il Patriarca di Gerusalemme sottolinea pero‘ che, purtroppo, non vi sono risorse disponibili. In che misura la Commissione potrebbe fornire un sostegno per tali opere di restauro nel quadro di una qualche iniziativa comunitaria, dato l(cid:146)interesse evidente che esse presentano nonche· l(cid:146)urgenza con cui andrebbero intraprese? Risposta data dal sig. Mar(cid:14)·n a nome della Commissione (2 luglio 1997) La Commissione, nell(cid:146)ambito dei fondi del bilancio comunitario, sostiene una serie di istituzioni non governative a Gerusalemme. La Commissione e‘ disposta ad esaminare qualsiasi proposta di progetto che le venga presentata da tali organizzazioni in vista di un eventuale finanziamento comunitario. Le proposte devono essere preparate in maniera corretta, e devono contenere un(cid:146)adeguata previsione dei costi. Le proposte presentate da enti religiosi, se rispettano i criteri citati, sono esaminate nello stesso modo di altre proposte di finanziamento per progetti a Gerusalemme.

Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Pa·draig Flynn (16. juli 1997) Kommissionen er klar over de problemer, som handicappede kan komme ud for i forbindelse med adgang til bygninger. I sin meddelelse af 30. juli 1996 om lige muligheder for handicappede (1) gjorde Kommissionen opm(cid:230)rksom p(cid:229), at mange offentlige bygninger fortsat er utilg(cid:230)ngelige eller vanskeligt tilg(cid:230)ngelige for handicappede, og gjorde endvidere opm(cid:230)rksom p(cid:229), at mange forskellige befolkningsgrupper, herunder handicappede, kan have nytte af de s(cid:229)kaldte »designed for all« adgangsforhold.

Den kendte sexolog, Luigi De Marchi, og Fabio Franchi, der er specialist i smitsomme sygdomme, har for nylig i Italien offentliggjort et omfattende dokumentarisk materiale (»AIDS › Det store bedrag«, Forlaget SEAM, Rom, 1997). Bogen kritiserer den ubegrundede panik og de mange selvmodsigelser i forbindelse med AIDS, som de fleste italienske og internationale sundhedsmyndigheder głr sig skyldig i. Det drejer sig om selvmodsigelser inden for vidtr(cid:230)kkende og centrale aspekter af AIDS-beskrivelsen og -behandlingen lige fra opdagelsen af viruset, definitionen af sygdommen, smitteforudsigelserne, testenes ubrugelighed og de skadelige behandlinger til jagten p(cid:229) en »umulig« vaccine. Kommissionen anmodes p(cid:229) denne baggrund om at oplyse fłlgende: 1. Har Kommissionen kendskab til disse publikationer og de p(cid:229)stande, der frems(cid:230)ttes deri? 2. Agter Kommissionen i givet fald at głre Europa-Parlamentet og andre organer opm(cid:230)rksom p(cid:229) betydningen af dette dokumentariske materiale og kritikken heri? 3. Finder Kommissionen ikke, at der er behov for et tv(cid:230)rfagligt undersłgelsesudvalg (der ikke kun best(cid:229)r af virologer og specialister i smitsomme sygdomme), der kan kaste lys over de talrige selvmodsigelser i forbindelse med »det 21.

Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Pa·draig Flynn (16. juli 1997) Kommissionen har intet kendskab til den n(cid:230)vnte publikation, men vil indsamle de nłdvendige oplysninger for at besvare det (cid:230)rede medlems spłrgsm(cid:229)l.
