title: 97/836/EC: Council Decision of 27 November 1997 with a view to accession by the European Community to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions ('Revised 1958 Agreement')

text: L_1997346EN. 01007801. xml 17. 12. 1997    EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 346/78 COUNCIL DECISION of 27 November 1997 with a view to accession by the European Community to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (‘Revised 1958 Agreement’) (97/836/EC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Articles 100a and 113 thereof, in conjunction with Article 228 (2), first sentence, Article 228 (3) second subparagraph, and Article 228 (4) thereof, Having regard to the proposal by the Commission (1), Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament (2), (1) Whereas, in its Decision of 23 October 1990, the Council authorized the Commission to take part in the negotiations concerning the revision of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) Agreement concerning the adoption of uniform conditions of approval and reciprocal recognition of approval for motor vehicle equipment and parts, done at Geneva on 20 March 1958; (2) Whereas the 1958 Agreement has been revised; (3) Whereas, as a result of the aforementioned negotiations, the Community has the option of becoming a Contracting Party to the Revised Agreement in its capacity as a regional economic integration organization to which its Member States have transferred powers in the area covered by the Agreement; (4) Whereas accession to the Revised Agreement constitutes an aim of common trade policy in accordance with Article 113 of the Treaty to remove technical barriers to trade in motor vehicles between the Contracting Parties; whereas involvement by the Community will add weight to the harmonization activities conducted pursuant to that Agreement and will thus permit easier access to third-country markets; whereas that involvement must result in the establishment of consistency between the instruments referred to as ‘Regulations’, adopted under the Revised Agreement, and Community legislation in this area; (5) Whereas the approval of motor vehicles and technical harmonization are conducted on the basis of Directives concerning vehicle systems, components and separate technical units pursuant to Article 100a of the Treaty, which concerns the establishment and functioning of the internal market; whereas, since 1 January 1996 in respect of category M1 vehicles, the harmonization is total and mandatory within the meaning of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (3) and the separate Directives on this category of vehicle; (6) Whereas accession to the Revised Agreement by the Community requires amendments to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 189b of the Treaty; whereas the assent of the European Parliament is therefore required; (7) Whereas the instruments referred to as ‘Regulations’ adopted within the bodies pursuant to the Revised Agreement will bind the Community on expiry of a six-month period following their notification if the Community has not made known its opposition to them; whereas it should therefore be stipulated that the Community vote concerning such instruments should be preceded by a decision adopted in accordance with the same procedure as that applying to the accession to the Revised Agreement, if those instruments do not simply constitute adaptation to technical progress; (8) Whereas, however, assuming that the adoption of a regulation of this type merely constitutes an adaptation to technical progress, the Community vote may be decided on in accordance with the procedure used for technical adaptations to Directives on vehicle type-approval; (9) Whereas it is appropriate to establish practical arrangements with regard to the involvement of the Community and the Member States in the Revised Agreement; (10) Whereas the Revised Agreement provides for a simplified procedure for its amendment; whereas a form of decision-making at Community level should be instituted which takes account of the constraints of that procedure; (11) Whereas, as required by the Revised Agreement, any new Contracting Party has the option, when lodging its instruments of accession, of declaring concomitantly that it intends not to be bound by certain UN/ECE Regulations of which it must give details; whereas the Community wishes to make use of that provision in order to accede immediately to the list of Regulations considered to be essential to the proper functioning of the vehicle approval system, as defined earlier in Directives 70/156/EEC, 74/150/EEC (4) and 92/61/EC (5), and, in view of their importance as regards the approval of vehicles at Community level and, likewise, at international level, to examine the scope for subsequently acceding to other Regulations on a case-by-case basis; (12) Whereas that accession does not prejudice the option of ceasing to apply the UN/ECE Regulations set out in the list accepted by the Community, as provided for in Article 1 (6) of the Revised Agreement; whereas such ceasing to apply will in particular concern cases where the Community adopts more stringent limit values for pollutant and noise emissions and the corresponding UN/ECE Regulations are not amended accordingly; (13) Whereas, where the Community accedes not to all of the UN/ECE Regulations, but to a defined list of such Regulations considered essential to the proper functioning of the vehicle approval procedure, those Member States subscribing to such Regulations to which the Community does not accede should be permitted to continue to manage and develop those Regulations; (14) Whereas, in pursuance of Article 234 of the Treaty, Member States should ensure that there is currently no incompatibility between the UN/ECE Regulations signed earlier, but to which the Community is not acceding, and the corresponding current Community legislation; (15) Whereas the subscription to UN/ECE Regulations by Member States should not be incompatible with the provisions of Directives 70/156/EEC, 74/150/EEC and 92/61/EEC, and should take account of the procedures of Council Directive 83/189/EEC of 28 March 1983 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations (6); (16) Whereas, under Community rules, it is up to the Member States to implement the obligations deriving from Articles 2, 4 and 5 of the Revised Agreement, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Article 1 The Community shall accede to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Agreement concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Revised Agreement’. The text of the Revised Agreement is set out as Annex I to this Decision. Article 2 The President of the Council shall be authorized to designate the person empowered to lodge the instrument of accession as required by Article 6 (3) of the Revised Agreement and to make the notification contained in Annex IV to this Decision. Article 3 1. Pursuant to Article 1 (5) of the Revised Agreement, the Community shall state that its accession will be restricted to implementation of the UN/ECE Regulations listed in Annex II to this Decision. 2. Pursuant to Article 1 (6) of the Revised Agreement, the Community may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in the second indent of Article 4 (2) of this Decision, decide to cease to apply a UN/ECE Regulation that it has previously accepted. 3. Pursuant to Article 1 (7) of the Revised Agreement, the Community may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in the second indent of Article 4 (2) of this Decision, decide to apply one, some or all of the UN/ECE Regulations to which it has not acceded at the time of its accession to the Revised Agreement. Article 4 1. The practical arrangements with regard to the involvement of the Community and the Member States with regard to the work of the UN/ECE are set out in Annex III. The contribution of the Community with regard to the priorities of the work programme of the UN/ECE shall be established in conformity with the procedure set out in Annex III, point 1. 2. The Community shall vote in favour of adopting any draft UN/ECE Regulation or a draft amendment to a Regulation — where, if an existing Regulation to which it has acceded is being adapted to technical progress, the draft has been approved in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC, — in all other instances, where on a proposal from the Commission and on receiving the assent of the European Parliament, the Council has approved the draft by a qualified majority. 3. Where a UN/ECE Regulation or an amendment to a UN/ECE Regulation is adopted without the Community having voted in favour, the Community shall express an objection in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 1 (2) of the Revised Agreement. 4. On the assumption that the Community votes in favour of a UN/ECE Regulation or amendment to a UN/ECE Regulation, the decision shall also state whether that Regulation shall become part of the EC whole vehicle type-approval system and replace existing law within the Community. 5. The UN/ECE Regulations and amendments to UN/ECE Regulations binding on the Community shall be published in the official languages of the Communities in the Official Journal of the European Communities before entering into force. Article 5 1. The proposed amendments to the Revised Agreement submitted to the Contracting Parties on behalf of the Community shall be adopted by the Council acting on a qualified majority, on a proposal from the Commission and having received the opinion of the European Parliament. 2. The decision whether to raise an objection, or otherwise, to the proposed amendments to the Revised Agreement put forward by other Contracting Parties shall be taken in accordance with the procedure followed in order to accede to that Agreement. Where that procedure has not been completed a week before expiry of the deadline provided for in Article 13 (2) of the Revised Agreement the Commission will state an objection to the amendment, on behalf of the Community, before that deadline expires. Article 6 Those Member States which will subscribe, or have subscribed, to UN/ECE Regulations to which the Community is not bound may continue to manage and develop those Regulations by adopting amendments reflecting technical progress while ensuring: — that subscription to these Regulations is not incompatible with the provisions of Directives 70/156/EEC, 74/150/EEC and 92/61/EEC, and — that the procedures of Directive 83/189/EEC are observed.

ANNEX I ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE INLAND TRANSPORT COMMITTEE AGREEMENT concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions  (1) Revision 2 (Including the amendments which entered into force on 16 October 1995) (1)  Former title of the Agreement: Agreement concerning the adoption of uniform conditions of approval and reciprocal recognition of approval for motor vehicule equipement and parts, done at Geneva on 20 March 1958. AGREEMENT concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions PREAMBLE THE CONTRACTING PARTIES, HAVING DECIDED to amend the Agreement concerning the adoption of uniform conditions of approval and reciprocal recognition of approval for motor vehicle equipment and parts, done at Geneva on 20 March 1958, and DESIRING to define uniform technical prescriptions that it will suffice for certain wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts to fulfil in order to be used in their countries, DESIRING to adopt these prescriptions whenever possible in their countries, and, DESIRING to facilitate the use in their countries of the vehicles, equipment and parts, where approved according to these prescriptions by the competent authorities of another Contracting Party, HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS: Article 1 1. The Contracting Parties shall establish through an Administrative Committee made up of all the Contracting Parties in conformity with the rules of procedure set out in Appendix 1 and on the basis of the following articles and paragraphs, Regulations for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles. Where necessary the technical requirements will include alternatives and when possible they will be performance-oriented and include test methods. Conditions for granting type-approvals and their reciprocal recognition will be included for use by Contracting Parties who choose to implement Regulations through type-approval. For the purposes of this Agreement: — the term ‘wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts’ shall include any wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts whose characteristics have a bearing on road safety, protection of the environment and energy saving; — the term ‘type-approval pursuant to a Regulation’ indicates an administrative procedure by which the competent authorities of the Contracting Party declare, after carrying out the required verifications, that a vehicle, equipment or parts submitted by the manufacturer conform to the requirements of the given Regulation. Afterwards the manufacturer certifies that each vehicle, equipment or parts put on the market were produced to be identical with the approved product. For the application of the Regulations there could be various administrative procedures alternative to type-approval. The only alternative procedure generally known and applied in certain Member States of the Economic Commission for Europe is the self-certification by which the manufacturer certifies, without any preliminary administrative control, that each product put on the market conforms to the given Regulation; the competent administrative authorities may verify by random sampling on the market that the self-certified products comply with the requirements of the given Regulation. 2. The Administrative Committee shall be composed of all the Contracting Parties in accordance with the rules of procedure set out in Appendix 1. A Regulation, after having been established in accordance with the procedure indicated in Appendix 1, shall be communicated by the Administrative Committee to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, hereinafter called the ‘Secretary-General’. As soon as possible thereafter the Secretary-General shall give notification of this Regulation to the Contracting Parties. The Regulation will be considered as adopted unless, within a period of six months from its notification by the Secretary-General, more than one third of the Contracting Parties at the time of notification have informed the Secretary-General of their disagreement with the Regulation. The Regulation shall cover the following: (a) wheeled vehicles, equipment or parts concerned; (b) technical requirements, which if necessary may include alternatives; (c) test methods by which any performance requirements are to be demonstrated; (d) conditions for granting type-approval and their reciprocal recognition including any approval markings and conditions for ensuring conformity of production; (e) the date(s) on which the Regulation enters into force. The Regulation may, if needed, include references to the laboratories accredited by the competent authorities where acceptance tests of the types of wheeled vehicles, equipment or parts submitted for approval must be carried out. 3. When a Regulation has been adopted, the Secretary-General shall so notify as soon as possible all the Contracting Parties, specifying which Contracting Parties have objected and in respect of which the Regulation shall not enter into force. 4. The adopted Regulation shall enter into force on the date(s) specified therein as a Regulation annexed to this Agreement for all Contracting Parties which did not notify their disagreement. 5. When depositing its instrument of accession, any new Contracting Party may declare that it is not bound by certain Regulations then annexed to this Agreement, or that it is not bound by any of them. If, at that time, the procedure laid down in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this Article is in progress for a draft or adopted Regulation, the Secretary-General shall communicate such draft or adopted Regulation to the new Contracting Party and it shall enter into force as a Regulation for the new Contracting Party only under the conditions specified in paragraph 4 of this Article. The Secretary-General shall notify all the Contracting Party of the date of such entry into force. The Secretary-General shall also communicate to them all declarations concerning the non-application of certain Regulations that any Contracting Party may make in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. 6. Any Contracting Party applying a Regulation may at any time notify the Secretary-General, subject to one year's notice, that its administration intends to cease applying it. Such notification shall be communicated by the Secretary-General to the other Contracting Parties. Approvals granted shall remain valid until their withdrawal. If a Contracting Party ceases to issue approvals pursuant to a Regulation it shall: — maintain proper supervision on conformity of production of products for which it previously granted type-approval; — take the necessary steps set out in Articles 4 when advised of non-conformity by a Contracting Party that continues to apply the Regulation; — continue to notify the competent authorities of other Contracting Parties of withdrawal of approvals as set out in Article 5; — continue to grant extensions to existing approvals. 7. Any Contracting Party not applying a Regulation may at any time notify the Secretary-General that it intends henceforth to apply it, and the Regulation will then enter into force for this Party on the 60th day after this notification. The Secretary-General shall notify all the Contracting Parties of every entry into force of a Regulation for a new Contracting Party effected in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. 8. The Contracting Parties for which a Regulation is in force shall hereinafter be referred to as ‘the Contracting Parties applying a Regulation’. Article 2 Each Contracting Party applying Regulations largely through type-approval shall grant the type-approvals and approval markings described in any Regulation for the types of wheeled vehicles, equipment or parts covered by the Regulation, provided that it has the technical competence and is satisfied with the arrangements for ensuring conformity of the product with the approved type as set out in Appendix 2. Each Contracting Party applying a Regulation through type-approval shall refuse the type-approvals and approved markings covered by the Regulation if the abovementioned conditions are not complied with. Article 3 Wheeled vehicles, equipment or parts for which type-approvals have been issued by a Contracting Party in accordance with Article 2 of this Agreement and manufactured either in the territory of a Contracting Party applying the Regulation concerned, or in such other country as is designated by the Contracting Party which has duly approved the types of wheeled vehicles, equipment or parts concerned shall be held to be in conformity with the legislation of all the Contracting Parties applying the said Regulation through type-approval. Article 4 Should the competent authorities of a Contracting Party applying a Regulation through type-approval find that certain wheeled vehicles, equipment or parts bearing approval markings issued under the said Regulation by one of the Contracting Parties, do not conform to the approved types, they shall advise the competent authorities of the Contracting Party which issued the approval. That Contracting Party shall take the necessary steps to bring the products of those manufacturers into conformity with the approved types and shall advise the other Contracting Parties applying the Regulation through type-approval of the steps it has taken, which may include, if necessary, the withdrawal of approval. Where there might be a threat to road safety or to the environment, the Contracting Party which issued the approval and after receiving the information about the non-conformity to the approved type(s) shall inform thereof all other Contracting Parties about the situation. Contracting Parties may prohibit the sale and use of such wheeled vehicles, equipment or parts in their territory. Article 5 The competent authorities of each Contracting Party applying Regulations through type-approval shall send monthly, to the competent authorities of the other Contracting Parties, a list of the wheeled vehicle, equipment or parts, approvals of which it has refused to grant or has withdrawn during that month; in addition, on receiving a request from the competent authority of another Contracting Party applying a Regulation through type-approval, it shall send forthwith to that competent authority a copy of all relevant information on which it based its decision to grant, refuse to grant, or to withdraw an approval of a wheeled vehicle, equipment or parts to that Regulation. Article 6 1. Countries members of the Economic Commission for Europe, countries admitted to the Commission in a consultative capacity in accordance with paragraph 8 of the Commission's terms of reference, and regional economic integration organizations set up by countries members of the Economic Commission for Europe to which their Member States have transferred powers in the fields covered by this Agreement, including the power to make binding decisions on their Member States, may become Contracting Parties to this Agreement.

The approval authority of a Contracting Party must verify, before granting type-approval, the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective control so that vehicles, equipment or parts when in production conform to the approved type. 1. 2. The requirement in paragraph 1. 1 must be verfied to the satisfaction of the authority granting type-approval but may also be verified, on behalf and at the request of the authority granting type-approval, by the approval authority of another Contracting Party. In that case, the latter approval authority prepares a statement of compliance outlining the areas and production facilities it has covered as relevant to the produce(s) to be type-approved. 1. 3. The approval authority must also accept the manufacturer's registration to Harmonized Standard ISO 9002 (the scope of which covers the produces) to be approved) or an equivalent accreditation standard as satisfying the requirements of paragraph 1. 1. The manufacturer must provide details of the registration and undertake to inform the approval authoritiy of any revisions to its validity or scope. 1. 4. On receiving an application from the authority of another Contracting Party the approval authority shall send forthwith the statement of compliance mentioned in the last sentence of paragraph 1. 2 or advise that it is not in a position to provide such a statement. 2. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION 2. 1. Every vehicle, equipment or part approved pursuant to Regulation annexed to this Agreement must be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements of this Appendix and of the said Regulation. 2. 2. The approval authority of a Contracting Party granting a type-approval pursuant to a Regulation annexed to this Agreement must verify the existence of adequate arrangements and documented control plans, to be agreed with the manufacturer for each approval, to carry out at specified intervals those tests or associated checks necessary to verify continued conformity with the approved type, including, specifically, where applicable, tests specified in the said Regulation. 2. 3. The holder of the approval must in particular: 2. 3. 1. ensure the existence of procedures for effective control of the conformity of products (vehicles, equipment or parts) to the type-approval; 2. 3. 2. have access to the testing equipment necessary for checking the conformity to each approved type; 2. 3. 3. ensure that test results' data are recorded and that annexed documents remain available for a period to be determined in agreement with the approval authority. This period must not exceed 10 years; 2. 3. 4. analyse results of each type of test, in order to verify and ensure the stability of the product characteristics, making allowance for variation of an industrial production; 2. 3. 5. ensure that for each type of product, at least the checks prescribed in this Appendix and the tests prescribed in the applicable Regulations are carried out; 2. 3. 6. ensure that any set of samples or test pieces giving evidence of non-conformity in the type of test in question gives rise to a further sampling and test. All the necessary steps must be taken to restore conformity of the corresponding production. 2. 4. The authority which has granted type-approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility. The normal frequency of these verfications must be consistent with the arrangements (if any) accepted pursuant to paragraph 1. 2 or 1. 3 of this Appendix and be such as to ensure that the relevant controls are reviewed over a period consistent with the climate of trust established by the approval authority. 2. 4. 1. At very inspection, the test records and production records must be available to the visiting inspector. 2. 4. 2. Where the nature of the test is appropriate, the inspector may select samples at random to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory (or by the Technical Service where the Regulation annexed to this Agreement so provides). The minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results of the manufacturer's own verification. 2. 4. 3. Where the level of control appears unsatisfactory, or when it seems necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in application of paragraph 2. 4. 2, the inspector must select samples to be sent to the Technical Service which conducts the type-approval tests. 2. 4. 4. The approval authority may carry out any check or test prescribed in this Appendix or in the applicable Regulation annexed to this Agreement. 2. 4. 5. In cases where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection, the approval authority must ensure that all necessary steps are taken to restore conformity of production as rapidly as possible. ANNEX II 1. At the date of its accession to the Revised Agreement with regard to wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts, the European Community intends to restrict is accession to the recognition and approvals of the UN/ECE Regulations set out in the following list, with the series of amendments as indicated, as they are in force at the date of accession.

ANNEX III PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH REGARD TO THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE MEMBER STATES IN THE REVISED AGREEMENT The European Community and the Member States shall be involved as Contracting Parties to the Revised Agreement in accordance with the following rules. 1. Negotiations and preparatory work with regard to the UN/ECE work programme and to work preceding the adoption of Regulations or amendments to existing Regulations to which the Community accedes The contribution of the Community with regard to the priorities of the work programme shall be established as appropriate in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 228 (1) of the Treaty. Representatives of the Commission and Member States shall participate in the preparatory work of expert groups with the objective of facilitating the adoption of a proposal for a new UN/ECE Regulation or amending an existing UN/ECE Regulation. In the course of this preparatory work, Member State experts may advance technical opinions and may participate fully in the technical discussions only on the basis of their technical expertise without binding their national authorities or the Community. Following this preparatory phase, the Commission shall represent the Community in the Administrative Committee as set up by Article 1 of the Revised Agreement as spokesman for the Community, in conformity with Article 113 of the Treaty. The Community's definitive position on the adoption of a new UN/ECE Regulation or the amendment of an existing UN/ECE Regulation shall be decided in accordance with Article 4 (2) of this Decision. At all stages of this procedure, the Commission shall inform the European Parliament, particularly with regard to the drawing up of the work programme and to the direction and results of preparatory work. The Commission shall in addition forward draft UN/ECE Regulations and amendments to the Parliament in good time. 2. Adoption of the UN/ECE Regulations and of amendments to such existing Regulations The Commission shall exercise the right to vote for the Community within the bodies set up pursuant to the Revised Agreement. The Member States shall not vote except in cases where it has been decided that the Community is not, or will not be, bound by a UN/ECE Regulation. The Community institutions shall undertake to speed up their procedures as far as possible in order not to delay the vote within the ECE unnecessarily. For this purpose the Commission shall submit its proposal, as required by Article 4 (2) of the Decision as soon as all of the essential components of the draft UN/ECE Regulation have been supplied. 3. Amendments to the Revised Agreement Only the Community may put forward amendments to the Revised Agreement. The Member States shall align their position with that expressed by the Community with regard to the amendments tabled by other Contracting Parties in accordance with Article 13 of the Revised Agreement. 4. Should a Member State become involved in a dispute settlement procedure within the meaning of Article 10 of the Revised Agreement, the position of the Member State on points of interpretation of the Agreement in this procedure shall be coordinated with the Commission after consultation with the other Member States. ANNEX IV NOTIFICATION TO BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 2 OF THE DECISION The European Community declares that it is not bound by Article 10 of the Revised Agreement and that Articles 2, 4 and 5 thereof will in all cases be implemented by its individual Member States. The European Community declares that UN/ECE Regulation 22 shall not apply to the United Kingdom

Rada upoważniła Komisję do wzięcia udziału w negocjacjach dotyczących zmiany Porozumienia Europejskiej Komisji Gospodarczej ONZ dotyczącego przyjęcia jednolitych warunków zatwierdzania i wzaj emnego uznawania homo- logacji wyposażenia i części pojazdów silnikowych, przy- jętego dnia 20 marca 1958 r. w Genewie. (5) (2) Porozumienie z 1958 r. zostało zmienione. (3) W wyniku wyżej wspomnianych negocjacji Wspólnota jako regionalna organizacja integracji ekonomicznej, której Państwa Członkowskie przekazały uprawnienia w zakresie objętym Porozumieniem, ma prawo stać się Umawiającą się Stroną Zrewidowanego Porozumienia. Przystąpienie do Zrewidowanego Porozumienia stanowi cel wspólnej polityki handlowej zgodnie z art. 113 Trak- tatu, mającej na celu usuwanie barier technicznych w handlu pojazdami silnikowymi między Umawiającymi się Stronami; zaangażowanie Wspólnoty zwiększy znacze- nie prowadzonej zgodnie z tym porozumieniem działal- ności harmonizacyjnej i ułatwi dostęp do rynków państw trzecich; w wyniku tego zaangażowania musi zapewnić spójność między aktami prawnymi, określanymi jako „regulaminy”, przyjętymi w ramach Zrewidowanego Poro- zumienia, a odpowiednim prawodawstwem wspólnoto- wym. Homologacja pojazdów silnikowych oraz harmonizacja techniczna są prowadzone na podstawie dyrektyw doty- czących instalacji pojazdów, części składowych oraz poszczególnych elementów technicznych na podstawie art. 100a Traktatu dotyczącego ustanowienia i funkcjono- wania rynku wewnętrznego; od dnia 1 stycznia 1996 r. harmonizacja w odniesieniu do pojazdów kategorii M1 jest całkowita i obowiązkowa w rozumieniu dyrektywy Rady 70/156/EWG z dnia 6 lutego 1970 r. w sprawie zbli- żenia ustawodawstw Państw Członkowskich odnoszących ich się do homologacji typu pojazdów silnikowych i przyczep (3) oraz odrębnych dyrektyw dotyczących tej kategorii pojazdów.

Akty prawne określane jako „regulaminy”, przyjęte przez właściwe organy na podstawie Zrewidowanego Porozu- mienia, będą wiązać Wspólnotę po upływie sześciu mie- sięcy od ich notyfikacji, jeśli Wspólnota nie oznajmi swego sprzeciwu; należy więc zastrzec, że jeśli te akty prawne nie stanowią zwykłego dostosowania do postępu techniczne- go, to dotyczący takich aktów prawnych głos Wspólnoty powinien być poprzedzony decyzją przyjętą zgodnie z taką samą procedurą, jak zastosowana przy przystępowa- niu do Zrewidowanego Porozumienia. (8) Zakładając jednak, że przyjęcie przepisów tego typu sta- nowi jedynie dostosowanie do postępu technicznego, głos Wspólnoty będzie oddawany zgodnie z procedurą uży- waną przy technicznych dostosowaniach dyrektyw w spra- wie homologacji pojazdów. (9) Właściwe jest ustanowienie uzgodnień praktycznych w odniesieniu do zaangażowania Wspólnoty i jej Państw Członkowskich w Zrewidowanym Porozumieniu. (13) W przypadku gdy Wspólnota nie przystępuje do wszyst- kich regulaminów EKG ONZ, a tylko ich określonego wykazu uważanego za zasadniczy dla funkcjonowania procedury homologacji pojazdów, te Państwa Członkow- skie które przystąpiły do regulaminów, które nie zostały przejęte przez Wspólnotę, powinny móc nadal stosować i rozwijać te regulaminy. (14) Zgodnie z art. 234 Traktatu Państwa Członkowskie powinny zapewnić, że nie ma obecnie sprzeczności mię- dzy podpisanymi uprzednio regulaminami EKG ONZ, do których Wspólnota nie przystępuje, a odpowiednim aktu- alnym prawodawstwem wspólnotowym. (15) Podpisanie regulaminu EKG ONZ przez Państwa Człon- kowskie nie powinno być sprzeczne z przepisami dyrektyw 70/156/EWG, 74/150/EWG oraz 92/61/EWG i powinno uwzględniać procedury dyrektywy Rady 83/189/EWG z dnia 28 marca 1983 r. ustanawiającej pro- cedurę udzielania informacji w dziedzinie norm i uregulo- wań technicznych (3). (10) Zrewidowane Porozumienie przewiduje uproszczoną pro- cedurę jego zmian; należy wprowadzić formę podejmowa- nia decyzji na poziomie wspólnotowym uwzględniającą wymagania tej procedury. (16) Zgodnie z regułami wspólnotowymi, wprowadzanie w życie zobowiązań wynikających z art. 2, 4 i 5 Zrewido- wanego Porozumienia jest sprawą Państw Członkowskich, (11) Zgodnie z wymaganiami Zrewidowanego Porozumienia każda nowa Umawiająca się Strona Porozumienia ma podczas składania dokumentów dotyczących przystąpie- nia prawo zadeklarowania, że nie chce być związana okre- ślonymi regulaminami EKG ONZ, podając ich szczegóły; Wspólnota pragnie wykorzystać to postanowienie w celu niezwłocznego przystąpienia do regulaminów uważanych za podstawowe dla sprawnego funkcjonowania systemu homologacji pojazdów, w rozumieniu określonych wcześniej dyrektyw 70/156/EWG, 74/150/EWG (1) i 92/61/WE (2) a także, mając na uwadze ich znaczenie dla homologacji pojazdów na poziomie Wspólnoty oraz na poziomie międzynarodowym, zbadać w poszczególnych przypadkach zakres kolejnych przystąpień do pozostałych regulaminów. (12) Zgodnie z art. 1 ust. 6 Zrewidowanego Porozumienia przystąpienie to nie narusza prawa zaprzestania stosowa- nia regulaminów EKG ONZ określonych w zatwierdzo- takie zaprzestanie nym przez Wspólnotę wykazie; PRZYJMUJE NINIEJSZĄ DECYZJĘ: Artykuł 1 Wspólnota przystępuje do Porozumienia Europejskiej Komisji Gospodarczej Narodów Zjednoczonych dotyczącego przyjęcia jednolitych wymagań technicznych dla pojazdów kołowych, wyposażenia i części, które można zamontować lub zastosować w pojazdach kołowych oraz warunków wzajemnego uznawania homologacji udzielonych na podstawie tych wymagań, zwanego dalej „Zrewidowanym Porozumieniem”.

Na podstawie art. 1 ust. 5 Zrewidowanego Porozumienia Wspólnota oświadcza, że jej przystąpienie będzie się ograniczać do wprowadzenia w życie regulaminów EKG ONZ wymienio- nych w załączniku II do niniejszej decyzji. 2. Na podstawie art. 1 ust. 6 Zrewidowanego Porozumienia Wspólnota może, zgodnie z procedurą ustanowioną w art. 4 ust. 2 tiret drugie niniejszej decyzji, podjąć decyzję o zaprzesta- niu stosowania uprzednio zaakceptowanego regulaminu EKG ONZ. 3. Na podstawie art. 1 ust. 7 Zrewidowanego Porozumienia Wspólnota może, zgodnie z procedurą ustanowioną w art. 4 ust. 2 tiret drugie niniejszej decyzji, podjąć decyzję o stosowaniu jednego, kilku lub wszystkich regulaminów EKG ONZ, do któ- rych nie przystąpiła w chwili przystąpienia do Zrewidowanego Porozumienia. Artykuł 4 1. Uzgodnienia praktyczne odnoszące się do uczestnictwa Wspólnoty i jej Państw Członkowskich w pracach EKG ONZ określa załącznik III. Wkład Wspólnoty z uwzględnieniem priorytetów programu prac EKG ONZ zostanie ustalony zgodnie z procedurą wymienioną w pkt 1 załącznika III. 2. Wspólnota głosuje za przyjęciem każdego projektu regula- minu EKG ONZ lub projektu zmian regulaminu — w przypadku gdy istniejący regulamin, do którego przystąpiła, jest dostosowywany do postępu technicznego, gdy projekt został zatwierdzony zgodnie z procedurą określoną w art. 13 dyrektywy 70/156/EWG, — we wszystkich innych przypadkach, gdy po otrzymaniu pro- pozycji Komisji i uzyskaniu zgody Parlamentu Europejskiego Rada zatwierdziła projekt kwalifikowaną większością. 3. Gdy regulamin EKG ONZ lub zmiana regulaminu EKG ONZ zostaje przyjęta, choć Wspólnota za tą zmianą nie głosowała, Wspólnota wyraża sprzeciw zgodnie z art. 1 ust. 2 akapit drugi Zrewidowanego Porozumienia. 4. Zakładając, że Wspólnota głosuje za regulaminem lub zmianą regulaminu EKG ONZ, decyzja ta określa również, czy regulamin 5. Wiążące Wspólnotę regulaminy EKG ONZ oraz zmiany regu- laminów EKG ONZ zostają przed wejściem w życie opubliko- wane w Dzienniku Urzędowym Wspólnot Europejskich w językach urzędowych Wspólnot. Artykuł 5 1. Proponowane zmiany Zrewidowanego Porozumienia przed- kładane Umawiającym się Stronom w imieniu Wspólnoty są przyjmowane przez Radę stanowiącą kwalifikowaną większością na wniosek Komisji i po uzyskaniu opinii Parlamentu Europej- skiego. 2. Decyzja o wniesieniu sprzeciwu wobec zmian Zrewidowanego Porozumienia proponowanych przez pozostałe Umawiające się Strony Porozumienia jest podejmowana zgodnie z procedurą zastosowaną przy przystępowaniu do tego porozumienia. W przypadku gdyby procedura ta nie zakończyła się na tydzień przed upłynięciem nieprzekraczalnego terminu przewidzianego w art. 13 ust. 2 Zrewidowanego Porozumienia, Komisja zgłosi sprzeciw wobec tej zmiany w imieniu Wspólnoty przed upływem tego nieprzekraczalnego terminu. Artykuł 6 Państwa Członkowskie, które przystąpią lub przystąpiły do regu- laminu EKG ONZ, którym Wspólnota nie jest związana, mogą nadal stosować i rozwijać te regulaminy, przyjmując zmiany odzwierciedlające postęp techniczny, zapewniając jednocześnie że: — przystąpienie do tych regulaminów nie jest sprzeczne z prze- pisami dyrektyw 70/156/EWG, 74/150/EWG i 92/61/EWG, oraz — przestrzegane są procedury dyrektywy 83/189/EWG.

DET ØKONOMISKE OG SOCIALE UDVALG OG REGIONSUDVALGET DET EUROPÆISKE ØKONOMISKE SAMARBEJDSOMRÅDES FINANSIERINGSMEKANISME L Finansieringsmekanismen Med henblik på at fremme økonomisk samhørighed og udvikling mellem regionerne i Det Europæiske Økonomiske Samarbejdsområde (EØS) blev der den 1. januar 1994 oprettet en finansieringsmekanisme, der skal støtte udviklingsprojekter i Grækenland, Irland, Nordirland, Portugal og dele af Spanien (mål 1-områderne som fastlagt i 1988), jf. artikel 115 og 116 i EØS- aftalen og protokol 38. I den femårige anvendelsesperiode, der udløber den 31. december 1998, tildeler finansieringsmekanismen midler til modtagerregionerne på 500 mio. ECU i form af direkte støtte og rentegodtgørelser på 2 procentpoint om året for lån på 1,5 mia. ECU fra Den Europæiske Investeringsbank (EIB). Støtten skal fortrinsvis gives til projekter, der lægger særlig vægt på miljø (herunder byudvikling), transport (herunder transportinfrastrukturer) samt uddannelse. Blandt de projekter, der indsendes af private virksomheder, tages der særligt hensyn til små og mellemstore virksomheder. Mekanismen forvaltes af EIB. Banken vurderer hvert enkelt projekt ud fra finansielle, økonomiske og tekniske kriterier og dets forenelighed med EU's mål, sektorpolitikker og miljøbestemmelser og -normer. Derefter forelægger EIB forslagene for udvalget for finansieringsmekanismen, der er nedsat af EFT A-staterne og Kommissionen, og dette træffer beslutning om tildeling af de finansielle midler, der er til rådighed under mekanismen. Mekanismen blev oprindelig finansieret af EFT A-staterne. Kommissionens opgave var at afgive udtalelse om forslagene, inden de blev godkendt af udvalget for finansieringsmekanismen. Siden den 1. januar 1995 har følgende været gældende: I artikel 83, 111 og 136 i akten vedrørende vilkårene for Republikken Østrigs, Republikken Finlands og Kongeriget Sveriges tiltrædelse og tilpasningerne af de traktater, der danner grundlag for Den Europæiske Union, er det fastsat, at de tre tiltrædende landes andel i den finansieringsmekanisme, der er nævnt i artikel 116 i EØS-aftalen, afholdes over De Europæiske Fællesskabers almindelige budget. Kommissionen er dermed blevet medansvarlig for mekanismen efter traktatens ifølge hvilken Kommissionen skal gennemføre budgettet. artikel 205, Kommissionens meddelelse af 30. marts 1995 (C(95) 753) fastsætter de administrative i Kommissionen. finansieringsmekanismens forvaltning aspekter af Efter at EØS-aftalen trådte i kraft for Fyrstendømmet Liechtenstein den 1. maj 1995 deltager dette nu fuldt ud i mekanismen. IL Tredje årsberetning Kommissionen forelagde den første årsberetning for Rådet i juni 1995; den gjaldt mekanismens virksomhed i perioden 1. januar 1994 - 31. maj 1995. Den anden årsberetning omhandlede mekanismens virksomhed i perioden 1. januar 1995 - 30. juni 1996. Den her foreliggende tredje årsberetning drejer sig om virksomheden i perioden 1. juli 1996-30. juni 1997. 1. Mekanismens virksomhed indtil 30. juni 1997 I juni 1997 vedtog udvalget for finansieringsmekanismen operationelle retningslinjer for implementeringen af mekanismen i forståelse med Den Europæiske Investeringsbank. Siden finansieringsmekanismen blev indført og indtil den 30. juni 1997 har udvalget for mekanismen godkendt ansøgninger om tilskud på i alt 309,218 mio. ECU og rentegodtgørelser for en samlet låneportefølje på 1037,40 mio.

Projektet tager sigte på at forebygge havforurening og bidrage til beskyttelse af havøkosystemet og dermed og akvakulturproduktionen. Det vil også gavne turismen ved at forebygge eventuelle økologiske risici langs kysten, hvor hovedparten af landets turistinfrastruktur findes. I kraft af de hurtige og effektive foranstaltninger, havnemyndighederne skal træffe til bekæmpelse af havforurening, vil projektet desuden bidrage betydeligt til at forbedre søtransportsikkerheden generelt. af det kommercielle i havet og specielt fiskeri Brandslukningsudstyr. 6,13 mio. ECU til svære køretøjer og udstyr som led i et stort moderniseringsprogram for det nationale brandvæsen. Projektets betydning ligger i forebyggelsen af skader som følge af brandvæsenets hurtigere og mere effektive indsats. By- og miljøudvikling i Kalamata: 10,35 mio. ECU til byforbedringer, herunder etablering af en miljøvenlig bybane. Projektet tager fat på særlige aspekter af indførelsen af gågader, begrænsning af trafikken i bykernen, forbedring af den offentlige transport og fremme af turismen. Irland: Teknisk uddannelse: 22,5 mio. ECU til investeringer i 13 institutioner for højere undervisning, i samfinansiering med Den Europæiske Fond for Regionaludvikling (EFRU). Projektet omfatter opførelse af nye bygninger, udvidelse og ændring af eksisterende faciliteter og anskaffelse af nyt udstyr til 13 uddannelsesinstitutioner i otte større og mindre byer. Formålet med investeringerne er at opfylde erhvervsuddannelsesbehovene, sørge for kvalificeret arbejdskraft, herunder teknikere, til det lokale og nationale forbedre erhvervsliv, institutionernes evne til at bistå industrien på basis af aktiv forskning og udvikling. erhvervsuddannelsernes effektivitet øge og Portugal: Byrenovering forestået af lokale kommunale myndigheder. 26,8 mio.

ECU til udvidelse af eksisterende jernbanekapacitet og miljømotiveret ændring af linjeføringer, arbejder vedrørende etablering af gågader og anlæg. Dette vil forbedre hovedforbindelsen fra Cadiz til Jerez og byens regionale lufthavn og er derfor rygraden i det regionale offentlige transportsystem. Jerez-projektet udnytter jernbaneanlægsarbejderne til udvikling af områder beliggende nær banelinjen. Det blive til betydelig gavn for hovedparten af byområderne i nærheden af banen.

ECU til forbedring og udvidelse af lufthavnen på Lanzarote. Projektet vedrører hovedsagelig investering i en ny terminal på 40 500 m2 og adgang fra landsiden. Den nye terminals kapacitet vil blive på 5 millioner passagerer pr. år. Denne investering er afgørende for øen, hvis økonomi i hovedsagen afhænger af turismen. Der godkendtes følgende ansøgninger om rentegodtgørelser, svarende til lån på i alt 488,5 mio. ECU: Grækenland: "ESSI"-motorvejen: rentegodtgørelse for lån på 156,5 mio. ECU til Athen ringvejen, der vil skabe forbindelse til den nye Spata-lufthavn. Projektet er en del af Patras-Athen-Thessaloniki (PATHE) nord-syd-hovedvejen (et prioriteret TEN-projekt) og vil også forbinde Athens bykerne med den nye lufthavn. Det vil desuden mindske trafiktætheden i Athen-området, hvor der har været en særdeles hurtig vækst i biltrafikken. Irland: for lån på 40 mio. ECU Irske veje: Rentegodtgørelse fire vejforbedringsprojekter, der sorterer under de nationale vejmyndigheder og de lokale myndigheder. Programmet omfatter fire vigtige projekter på det nationale hovedvejsnet, der vil forbedre trafikforholdene i kraft af større sikkerhed og tidsbesparelser og være til gavn for trafikken mellem Irlands turistområder samt mindske økonomiske regioner og trafiktætheden i byer. til havne og til Portugal: Byrenoveringsprojekter lokale kommunale myndigheder: af rentegodtgørelse for lån på 13,4 mio.

Lufthavne på De Kanariske Øer: rentegodtgørelse for lån på 68 mio. ECU til udvidelse af lufthavnene på Tenerife, Lanzarote og Fuerteventura. Lufttransport er klart af afgørende betydning for De Kanariske Øer, såvel hvad angår adgangen udefra som intern trafik mellem øerne. Enhver flaskehals i denne sektor ville derfor fa betydelige virkninger for hele økonomien og især turismen, der kræver god/effektiv adgang ad luftvejen. ICO-miljøgloballån II: rentegodtgørelse for lån på 51,6 mio. ECU til Instituto de Crédito Oficial til finansiering af private og offentlige små og mellemstore miljøprojekter. Dette nye globallån til ICO vil bidrage til beskyttelse af miljøet og nedbringelse af forureningen i mål 1-områder i Spanien. 2. EU's bidrag I tiltrædelsesakten (artikel 83, 111 og 136) er det fastsat, at de nye medlemsstaters andel i finansieringen af finansieringsmekanismen afholdes over De Europæiske Fællesskabers almindelige budget. På forslag af Kommissionen i (KOM(94) 398) er det overensstemmelse hermed, ved at der er tilføjet en ny budgetpost under "Strukturforanstaltninger". Budgettet for 1997 indeholder en post med relevante bemærkninger (B2-401). Overslaget for hvert år er 108 mio. ECU. finansielle overslag allerede blevet tilpasset For så vidt angår de faktiske betalinger, betyder overtagelsen af de nye medlemsstaters andele overholdelse af artikel 4a i samarbejdsaftalen mellem EFT A-landene og EIB af 30. juni 1992, som ændret ved ændringsprotokollen af 18. juni 1993. disse procedurer overensstemmelse med I for finansieringsmekanismen i samråd med EIB den 17. december 1996 beslutning om bidraget for 1997 og om andelene mellem de deltagende EFT A-lande og Kommissionen. Bidragene blev beregnet efter bruttonationalproduktet i markedspriser, idet der blev anvendt oplysninger fra de seneste tre kalenderår og taget hensyn til et samlet årligt bidrag på 130 mio. ECU. udvalget traf a)- Et samlet bidrag på 130 mio. ECU for 1997 Ved oprettelsen af finansieringsmekanismen blev der udarbejdet et første overslag svarende til en årlig rate på 130 mio. ECU, men i perioden 1994-1996 skete den første finansiering og de senere tilførsler af 110 mio. ECU til finansieringsmekanismen som vist i nedenstående tabel sammen med de samlede bidrag i samme periode. 4 artikel samarbejdsaftalens skal EFTA-staterne Ifølge og fællesskabsbudgettet indbetale de nødvendige beløb til overholdelse af forpligtelsestidsplaneme, de deraf følgende udbetalinger og de tilknyttede administrationsomkostninger for rentebetalinger og tilskud. Banken og udvalget skal undersøge, hvor store tilskud og rentesubsidier der er udbetalt, for at fastlægge størrelsen af de efterfølgende rater, der skal indbetales af EFTA-staterne og Kommissionen. Det beløb, der måtte restere ved transaktionernes afslutning, skal tilbagebetales til EFTA- staterne og fællesskabsbudgettet. Den 17. december 1996 besluttede udvalget for finansieringsmekanismen, at donorbidragene skulle forhøjes tilsvarende, for at de endelige forpligtelser kunne overholdes. Selv om bidragene ikke er anvendt fuldt ud, er det vigtigt at fastholde et rimeligt bidrag til mekanismens konto hvert år for at få en passende overensstemmelse med de fremtidige endelige forpligtelser ved udgangen af 1998. En forhøjelse fra 110 mio. ECU til 130 mio. ECU af tilførslen for 1997 vil betyde en lettelse af den sidste tilførsel i 1998. b)- EU's bidrag Omkostningsfordelingen ved den første og de senere tilførsler til finansieringsmekanismen beregnet i markedspriser ved anvendelse af oplysninger fra de seneste tre kalenderår er følgende: efter bruttonationalproduktet Um4 Narg«?

Dette beløb blev derfor trukket fra den tredje rate i 1996. 10 3. Mekanismens konto i ETB Pr. 31. december 1996 var saldoen på finansieringsmekanismens konto 276 640 719 ECU.

Delingen af udgifterne til kontaktpersonfunktionen mellem de tre EFTA-stater og Kommissionen gælder følgelig finansieredes med kontaktpersonfunktionen imidlertid på grundlag af en midlertidig ordning, ifølge hvilken de tidligere EFTA-stater, herunder de tre stater, der tiltrådte Den Europæiske Union, dækkede udgifterne. De nye omkostningsdelingsordninger gælder således fra den 1. juli 1995. fra 1995. I de første seks måneder af 1995 tilbagevirkende kraft Udvalget for finansieringsmekanismen godkendte udgiftsopgørelsen for 1995, der beløb sig til 109 680 ECU, og omkostningsoverslaget for 1996, der beløb sig til 276 694 ECU. Det samlede beløb på 386 374 ECU debiteredes af EIB den 12. juli 1996. 11 4. Samordning og komplementaritet med andre EU-instrumenter Inden for partnerskabet sørger Kommissionen for samordning og sammenhæng mellem de projekter, der gennemføres under finansieringsmekanismen, og de foranstaltninger, der iværksættes under strukturfondene, Samhørighedsfonden, Den Europæiske Investeringsbank og andre finansielle EU-instrumenter. I den henseende er reglerne for kombinering og overlapning af støtte fra finansieringsmekanismen med anden EU-støtte nøje fastlagt i den aftale om indgået mellem Kommissionen og Den praktisk samarbejde, der blev Europæiske Investeringsbank den 9. marts 1994. 12 ISSN 0254-1459 KOM(97) 567 endelig udg.
