It is founded on the provision in the EC-Czech Republic Europe Agreement1 which allows either Party to introduce an administrative procedure having as its purpose the rapid provision of information on the trend of trade flows. The Parties agreed to establish such a system in 1997 in respect of certain ECSC and EC steel products by means of Association Council Decision N° 4/962. Council Regulation (EC) N° 7/973 established the corresponding implementing legislation for the Community. At its meeting on 31 October 1997, the Contact Group agreed to recommend that the Association Council should renew the double-checking system for the period between 1 January and 31 December 1998. The attached proposals consequently seek to renew the double-checking system for the period between 1 January and 31 December 1998. lOJN°L360, 31. 12. 94, p. 2. 2OJN°L64,5. 3. 97,p. 13. 3 OJ N° L 4, 8. 1. 97, p. 1. and corrigendum in OJ L 71, 13. 3. 97, p. 46.

The export documents shall measure 210 x 297 mm. The paper used shall be white writing paper, sized, not containing mechanical pulp, and weighing not less than 25 g/m2. They shall be made out in English. If they are completed by hand, entries must be in ink and in printed script. These documents may comprise additional copies duly indicated as such. If the documents have several copies only the top copy is the original. This copy shall be clearly marked as 'original' and other copies as 'copies'. Only the original shall be accepted by the competent authorities of the Community as being valid for the control of export to the Community in accordance with the provisions of the double-checking system. 2. Each document shall bear a standardized serial number, whether or not printed, by which it can be identified. This number shall be composed of the following elements: - two letters identifying the exporting country as follows: CZ, - two letters identifying the intended Member State of customs clearance as follows: BE = Belgium DK = Denmark DE = Germany EL = Greece ES = Spain FR = France IE = Ireland IT = Italy LU = Luxembourg NL = Netherlands AT = Austria PT = Portugal FI = Finland SE = Sweden GB= United Kingdom. - a one-digit number identifying the year, corresponding to the last figure in the respective year, e. g. 8 for 1998, - a two-digit number from 01 to 99, identifying the particular issuing office concerned in the exporting country, - a five-digit number running consecutively from 00001 to 99999 allocated to the intended Member State of customs clearance. 3. The export documents shall be valid for six months from the date of their issue, but not beyond 31 December of the year appearing in Box N° 3 of the export document. 16 4. Since the importer needs to present the original export document when requesting an import document, export documents should, as fas as possible, be issued in respect of individual commercial transactions, not global contracts. 5. The Czech Republic need not show price information on the export document if there is a genuine need to protect commercial confidentiality. In such cases, box 9 of the export document should indicate the reason for not showing the price information and that it is available to the competent authorities of the Community on request. 6. Export documents may be issued after the shipment of the products to which they relate. In such cases they must bear the endorsement 'issued retrospectively'. 7. In the event of a theft, loss or destruction of an export document, the exporter may apply to the competent governmental authority which issued the document for a duplicate to be made out on the basis of the export documents in his possession. The duplicate of any such document so issued shall bear the endorsement 'duplicate'. The duplicate shall bear the date of the original export document. 8. The competent authorities of the Community shall be informed immediately of the withdrawal or modification of any export documents already issued and, where relevant, of the basis for such action. 17 PROPOSAL FOR A y COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) N° /97 of 1997 concerning the export of certain ECSC and EC steel products from the Czech Republic to the European Community for the period 1 January to 31 December 1998 (renewal of the double-checking system established by Decision N° 2/96 of the Association Council as extended by Decision N° 4/96) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas a Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of, the one part, and the Czech Republic, of the other part, entered into force on 1 February 19951; Whereas the Parties decided in Association Council Decision N°. /972 to renew the double-checking system introduced by Decision N° 4/963 for *the period between 1 January and 31 December 1998; Whereas it is consequently necessary to renew the Community implementing legislation introduced by Council Regulation (EC) N° 7/974, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 1.

text: 22. 6. 98 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 196/25 De klagom(cid:229)l som framfo¤rdes till kommissionen inneho¤ll inga sa¤rskilt avgo¤rande element som fo¤rtydligar 2. a¤rendet. 3. Kommissionen garanterar konfidentiell behandling av alla klagom(cid:229)l. Parlamentsledamoten kommer att informeras s(cid:229) fort som mo¤jligt om resultaten av alla framtida kontakter 4. som kommissionen kommer att ha med de italienska myndigheterna fo¤r att belysa utvecklingen i fr(cid:229)gan. (98/C 196/35) SKRIFTLIG FR¯GA E-3870/97 fr(cid:229)n Amedeo Amadeo (NI) till kommissionen (5 december 1997) A¤mne: Den europeiska industrins konkurrenskraft Fo¤ljande fr(cid:229)ga sta¤lls mot bakgrund av kommissionens meddelande (cid:148)Benchmarking av konkurrenskraften: Info¤randet av ett verktyg till akto¤rernas och de offentliga myndigheternas fo¤rfogande(cid:148) (KOM(97)0153). Detta meddelande utgo¤r en la¤mplig grund fo¤r en ja¤mfo¤rande analys av konkurrenskraft (benchmarking). Det a¤r viktigt att det finns ett samband mellan detta initiativ och genomfo¤randet av andra typer av gemenskapspolitik, i synnerhet p(cid:229) omr(cid:229)dena forskning och utveckling, innovationer, ekonomisk och social sammanh(cid:229)llning och fo¤retagspolitik. Kan Europeiska kommissionen tala om vilka typer av politik med anknytning till benchmarking den har utarbetat fo¤r att ma¤ta effektiviteten (den inre marknaden, regionalpolitik, forskning och utveckling)? Svar fr(cid:229)n Martin Bangemann p(cid:229) kommissionens va¤gnar (30 januari 1998) Kommissionen va¤lkomnar noterar med tillfredssta¤llelse att den f(cid:229)r sto¤d fo¤r sin (cid:229)sikt att benchmarking a¤r ett utma¤rkt sa¤tt fo¤r gemenskapen att ja¤mfo¤ra framsteg i fr(cid:229)ga om de huvudomr(cid:229)dena och med de nyckelfaktorer som a¤r avgo¤rande fo¤r ekonomisk framg(cid:229)ng. Kommissionen anser da¤rfo¤r att benchmarking kan spela en viktig roll i utva¤rderingen av gemenskapspolitiken. Fo¤r att benchmarking skall f(cid:229) bredast mo¤jliga anva¤ndning som hja¤lpmedel fo¤r att p(cid:229)verka eventuella politiska (cid:229)tga¤rder genomfo¤r nu kommissionen ett antal pilotprojekt inom viktiga politiska omr(cid:229)den av betydelse fo¤r ramvillkoren. Pilotprojekten go¤r det mo¤jligt att utarbeta effektiva arbetsmetoder i samfo¤rst(cid:229)nd med alla bero¤rda parter och p(cid:229) grundval av o¤ppenhet, meningsutbyte och sakkunskap. De metoder som utarbetas p(cid:229) detta sa¤tt fo¤rva¤ntas da¤refter tilla¤mpas systematiskt p(cid:229) ett stort antal skiftande omr(cid:229)den, da¤ribland ytterligare delar av gemenskapspolitiken. Kommissionen skulle ocks(cid:229) vilja framh(cid:229)lla att de fo¤rsta stegen mot benchmarking inom de o¤vriga av gemenskapens politiska omr(cid:229)den som na¤mns i fr(cid:229)gan redan har tagits. Handlingsplanen fo¤r den inre marknaden a¤r ett exempel p(cid:229) ett slags benchmarking da¤r framsteg kontinuerligt o¤vervakas och ja¤mfo¤rs med m(cid:229)lsa¤ttningarna. Inom ramen fo¤r det integrerade programmet fo¤r sm(cid:229) och medelstora fo¤retag och hantverkssektorn (1) kommer kommissionen och medlemsstaterna att ta fram gemensamma (cid:229)tga¤rder da¤r benchmarking spelar en viktig roll i fra¤mjandet av de ba¤sta sa¤tten att genomfo¤ra en administrativ rationalisering och vidta sto¤d(cid:229)tga¤rder med inriktning p(cid:229) fo¤retag. Vad ga¤ller social och ekonomisk sammanh(cid:229)llning inneh(cid:229)ller de regionala utvecklingsprogram som gemen- skapen samfinansierar i princip redan kvantifierade m(cid:229)l baserade p(cid:229) sto¤d av en analys av de regionala skillnaderna i ekonomiska resultat och i konkurrenskraft. Programmens effektivitet utva¤rderas i efterhand mot bakgrund av de i fo¤rva¤g uppsta¤llda kvantifierade m(cid:229)len. (1) KOM(96) 329 slutlig

text: C 187/74 PT Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias 16. 6. 98 Resposta dada por Franz Fischler em nome da Comissa(cid:152)o (7 de Janeiro de 1998) Os acordos do GATT preve(cid:136)em um contingente de exporta(cid:231)a(cid:152)o, com restitui(cid:231)o(cid:152)es da parte da Comunidade, de 145 000 toneladas. O contingente baixara· para 115 000 t no ano 2000. Em conformidade com a regulamenta(cid:231)a(cid:152)o em vigor, cabe a‘ Comissa(cid:152)o gerir o contingente e velar pela sua aplica(cid:231)a(cid:152)o correcta no a(cid:136)mbito do «Uruguay Round». A Comissa(cid:152)o na(cid:152)o partilha do parecer do Senhor Deputado de que essas limita(cid:231)o(cid:152)es implicam perdas de partes de mercado. Com efeito, as exporta(cid:231)o(cid:152)es na(cid:152)o sa(cid:152)o contingentadas, excepto no que se refere a‘s exporta(cid:231)o(cid:152)es com restitui(cid:231)o(cid:152)es. Segundo os dados mais recentes, apesar daquele contingente, o n(cid:14)·vel das restitui(cid:231)o(cid:152)es necessa·rias esta· a baixar, tendo passado de 40 ecus por 100 quilogramas no in(cid:14)·cio da campanha de 1996/97 para 18,5 ecus por 100 quilogramas no final dessa campanha. O que mostra que o mercado dos pa(cid:14)·ses terceiros esta· prestes a pagar um pre(cid:231)o que na(cid:152)o requer restitui(cid:231)o(cid:152)es importantes. No que diz respeito a‘ abertura de novos mercados, a Comunidade presta a sua contribui(cid:231)a(cid:152)o atrave·s da pol(cid:14)·tica de promo(cid:231)a(cid:152)o do Conselho Ole(cid:14)·cola Internacional, financiada em grande parte pelo Fundo de promo(cid:231)a(cid:152)o da Comunidade.

Resposta dada pelo Comissa·rio Bangemann em nome da Comissa(cid:152)o (30 de Janeiro de 1998) A Comissa(cid:152)o considera que o aferimento dos desempenhos competitivos pode ser efectuado a va·rios n(cid:14)·veis, nomeadamente a n(cid:14)·vel comunita·rio, nacional e regional. Por outro lado, deve reconhecer-se que muitas das pol(cid:14)·ticas que afectam a competitividade, em especial no que respeita a‘ dimensa(cid:152)o regional, sa(cid:152)o da responsabi- lidade dos Estados-membros. Por esse motivo, os Estados-membros, em estreita coopera(cid:231)a(cid:152)o com a Comissa(cid:152)o, desempenham um papel primordial na implementa(cid:231)a(cid:152)o de projectos-piloto nas a·reas do financiamento da inova(cid:231)a(cid:152)o, desenvolvimento dos recursos humanos e difusa(cid:152)o e utiliza(cid:231)a(cid:152)o de tecnologias da informa(cid:231)a(cid:152)o.

title: WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3884/97 by Amedeo AMADEO , Spalato BELLERE' to the Commission. Motor vehicles intended for the transport of dangerous goods

text: C 187/74 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 6. 98 Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (7 January 1998) The GATT agreements provide for an export quota with Community refunds of 145 000 tonnes, to be reduced to 115 000 tonnes in 2000. Under the rules, the Commission is responsible for managing the quota and ensuring that the Uruguay Round agreement is properly implemented. The Commission does not agree with the Honourable Member that these restrictions are causing a loss of market share. Indeed, only exports with refunds are restricted. The most recent data show that despite this quota, the level of refund necessary to export has fallen from ECU 40/100 kg at the beginning of the 1996/97 marketing year to ECU 18. 50/100 kg at the end of the current marketing year. This shows that markets in non-member countries will pay a price which does not require large refunds. The Community helps to open up new markets through the promotion policy of the International Olive Oil Council, which is mainly financed by the Community(cid:146)s promotion fund. (98/C 187/117) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3871/97 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (5 December 1997) Subject: Competitiveness of European industry With reference to the Commission Communication benchmarking › implementation of an instrument available to economic actors and public authorities (COM(97) 153 final), in measuring the competitiveness of the general reference framework, will the Commission take account of the regional dimension, which makes it possible to identify more effectively factors influencing competitiveness in various sectors, such as support for innovation, human resources development, and dissemination and use of information technologies? Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (30 January 1998) The Commission believes that benchmarking of framework conditions can take place at a number of different levels, including at Community, national and regional level. At the same time, it must be recognised that many policy areas affecting competitiveness, in particular as regards the regional dimension, are the responsibility of Member States. It is for this reason that Member States are playing the lead role, with the close co-operation of the Commission, in the implementation of the pilot projects in the areas of financing of innovation, development of human resources and diffusion and utilisation of information technologies. In the case of economic and social cohesion, it is already the case that regional development programmes co-financed by the Community in principle contain quantified targets based on analysis of inter-regional differences in economic performance and competitiveness. The effectiveness of the programmes ex post is then assessed against the quantified targets established initially.

text: C 187/74 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen 16. 6. 98 Antwoord van de heer Fischler namens de Commissie (7 januari 1998) De overeenkomsten in het kader van de GATT voorzien in een uitvoercontingent van 145. 000 ton met restituties, dat in 2000 tot 115. 000 ton zal worden gereduceerd. Op grond van de vigerende wetgeving beheert de Commissie dit contingent en ziet zij toe op de correcte toepassing van de Overeenkomst in het kader van de Uruguay-Ronde. De Commissie is het niet met het geachte Parlementslid eens dat bovengenoemde beperkingen tot een verlies van marktaandeel leiden. De export is namelijk niet gecontingenteerd, wel de export met restitutie. Ondanks dit contingent blijkt uit de meest recente gegevens dat het voor export vereiste restitutieniveau een dalende tendens te zien geeft, namelijk van 40 Ecu per 100 kilogram aan het begin van het verkoopseizoen 1996/1997 naar 18,50 ecu per 100 kilogram aan het einde van dit verkoopseizoen. Dit wijst erop dat men op de markt in derde landen bereid is een zodanige prijs te betalen dat geen hoge restitutie nodig is. Wat het openleggen van nieuwe markten betreft, levert de Commissie een bijdrage via het promotiebeleid van de Olijfolieraad, die voor een groot deel uit het promotiefonds van de Gemeenschap wordt gefinancierd. (98/C 187/117) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-3871/97 van Amedeo Amadeo (NI) aan de Commissie (5 december 1997) Betreft: Concurrentievermogen van de Europese industrie De Commissie heeft een mededeling gepubliceerd (cid:132)Benchmarking van het concurrentievermogen › een instrument ten dienste van ondernemers en de overheid(cid:148) (COM(97)0153 def. ). Is de Commissie bereid om bij het toetsen van het concurrentievermogen in het algemeen ook rekening te houden met de regionale dimensie zodat een beter inzicht wordt verkregen in de mededingingsbevorderende factoren in tal van sectoren: stimuleren van innovatie, ontwikkeling van het menselijke potentieel, verspreiding en gebruik van informatietechnologiee¤n? Antwoord van de heer Bangemann namens de Commissie (30 januari 1998) De Commissie is van mening dat benchmarking van randvoorwaarden op verschillende niveaus kan plaatsvinden, bijvoorbeeld op communautair, nationaal of regionaal niveau. Tegelijkertijd moet worden opgemerkt dat veel beleidsterreinen die voor het concurrentievermogen van belang zijn, met name wat betreft de regionale dimensie, de verantwoordelijkheid van de lidstaten zijn. Daarom spelen de lidstaten de belangrijkste rol, in nauwe samenwerking met de Commissie, bij de uitvoering van proefprojecten op het gebied van financiering van innovatie, ontwikkeling van menselijk potentieel en verspreiding en gebruik van informatietechnologie. Op het gebied van de economische en sociale cohesie bevatten de door de Gemeenschap medegefinancierde regionale ontwikkelingsprogramma(cid:146)s in principe kwantitatieve doelstellingen gebaseerd op een analyse van de verschillen in economische prestaties en concurrentievermogen tussen regio(cid:146)s. De doelmatigheid van de programma(cid:146)s wordt achteraf gee¤valueerd in het licht van de oorspronkelijke kwantitatieve doelstellingen.

text: C 174/146 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee 8. 6. 98 (98/C 174/218) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-3861/97 di Kirsi Piha (PPE) alla Commissione (5 dicembre 1997) Oggetto: Traffico nello spazio aereo nell(cid:146)Unione europea Nel territorio comunitario il traffico aereo aumenta di anno in anno, lo spazio aereo e‘ viepiu‘ limitato e situazioni del tipo «l(cid:146)abbiamo scampata bella» viepiu‘ frequenti. Quali azioni concrete intende la Commissione adottare affinche· la crescita del traffico aereo nel territorio comunitario non contribuisca ulteriormente al rischio di incidenti dovuti al congestionamento dello spazio aereo? Come intende far fronte all(cid:146)aumento del traffico aereo dai PECO, negli anni a venire? Risposta data dal Sig. Kinnock in nome della Commissione (22 gennaio 1998) La Commissione non e‘ al corrente di una maggiore frequenza nella Comunita‘ di episodi in cui si sia sfiorato l(cid:146)incidente aereo, cosa che indicherebbe un deterioramento del livello di sicurezza del traffico aereo. La Commissione condivide pero‘ le preoccupazioni dell(cid:146)Onorevole parlamentare circa le future conseguenze di una costante crescita del traffico aereo e del relativo congestionamento delle infrastrutture. Per questo motivo secondo la Commissione, la Comunita‘ dovrebbe svolgere un ruolo di primo piano nella gestione del traffico aereo (Air Traffic Management › ATM) nell(cid:146)ambito della sua politica in materia di trasporti ed essa ha di conseguenza preso diverse e importanti iniziative politiche tra cui: 1. Il Quarto programma quadro di ricerca e sviluppo tecnologico (1), come riconosciuto dalle industrie dell(cid:146)aviazione, ha contribuito notevolmente a sostenere lo sviluppo di nuovi strumenti e concetti ATM. La Commissione continuera‘ questi sforzi nell(cid:146)ambito del Quinto programma quadro di ricerca e sviluppo tecnologico (2) in vista di trovare soluzioni tecniche al problema dell(cid:146)aumento di traffico. 2. Dopo le conclusioni del Consiglio europeo di Essen del 1994, la Commissione ha conferito una priorita‘ elevata ai progetti ATM nell(cid:146)assegnazione del bilancio per le reti di trasporto transeuropee onde contribuire agli investimenti necessari per aumentare la capacita‘ di controllo del traffico aereo. 3. La Commissione ha preso varie iniziative per sostenere una ristrutturazione in profondita‘ dell(cid:146)attuale quadro istituzionale per la gestione del traffico aereo a livello europeo. Cio‘ era l(cid:146)obiettivo del libro bianco ATM del 1996 (3) e della raccomandazione della Commissione relativa ad una decisione del Consiglio per autorizzare la Commissione ad avviare negoziati concernenti l(cid:146)adesione della Comunita‘ come membro a Eurocontrol. Queste iniziative hanno avuto l(cid:146)ampio sostegno del Parlamento europeo che si e‘ espresso negli ultimi anni in diverse risoluzioni e hanno sicuramente aiutato Eurocontrol ad acquisire i poteri e le efficienze necessari che sono ora stabiliti nella nuova versione della Convenzione Eurocontrol firmata il 27 giugno 1997 in base alla quale Eurocontrol agisce come l(cid:146)unico organismo in Europa responsabile per un uso efficiente e sicuro dello spazio aereo europeo. Cio‘ si applica anche ai paesi dell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale che stanno aderendo ad Eurocontrol, ma che da anni attraverso la Conferenza europea dell(cid:146)aviazione civile (European Civil Aviation Conference › ECAC) sono associati alle attivita‘ congiunte portate avanti in Europa per armonizzare e integrare i vari sistemi ATM. Nell(cid:146)ambito di questo quadro, Eurocontrol ha fornito consulenza a questi paesi per potenziare i loro sistemi, con il sostegno finanziario del programma comunitario Phare. (1) COM(93) 459 def.

text: C 158/194 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 5. 98 Current and future research and policy development in the Commission will deepen the understanding not only of the physicochemical nature of particulate matter in urban air, but also of the causal relationship between vehicle exhaust emissions and human health and consider the need for further targeting of measures to reduce emissions, including the possible application of regulatory standards for new pollutants and the use of new measuring techniques. (1) COM(97) 500. (2) COM(96) 248 final. (3) COM(97) 627. (98/C 158/263) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3839/97 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (5 December 1997) Subject: Exemption of gauze from anti-dumping duties The Commission has opened a new procedure for anti-dumping duties on imports of unbleached cotton textile manufactured in Egypt, India, Indonesia, China, Pakistan and Turkey. According to the Commission statement the product being dumped is unbleached cotton pile fabric with a cotton content of at least 85% by weight intended principally for the clothing, linen and furniture industries. Strangely enough, gauze for medical dressings was exempted from the anti-dumping duties. This is encouraging the import of millions of square metres of gauze from India threatening to destroy completely the Greek gauze industry and deal a serious blow to cotton producers in the Union. By way of information Greece consumes 20 million square metres of gauze per year, that is to say 650 tonnes of cotton fibre or 2600 tonnes of unginned cotton. The disappearance of the Greek gauze industry will mean laying to waste 860 hectares of land currently used for cotton cultivation and will put at least 500 Greeks out of work. Can the Commission give us the reasons for exempting medical gauze from anti-dumping duties and what action it intends to take before the Greek gauze industry disappears completely, reducing its workers to unemployment? Answer given by Sir Leon Brittan on behalf of the Commission (23 December 1997) As mentioned in the written question, the Commission, on 11 July 1997, initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of unbleached cotton fabrics originating in China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Turkey. This proceeding was initiated following a written complaint by the cotton and allied textile industries (Eurocoton), on behalf of the Community industry. The complaint covered all flat unbleached grey cotton fabrics, containing at least 85% cotton. It specifically excluded fabrics for the manufacture of bandages, dressing and medical gauze. It should further be noted that in the previous proceeding concerning unbleached cotton fabrics, it was concluded that medical gauze should be considered as a product different to flat unbleached grey cotton fabrics in view of its different physical characteristics, use and consumer perception. In view of this finding, and after an examination of the prima facie evidence submitted in the current complaint, the Commission decided to open an anti-dumping investigation into alleged injurious dumping practices referring to the product as presented in this complaint. Should the Community gauze industry › including the Greek manufacturers › be suffering from any injurious dumping practice, a complaint can be submitted to the Commission, including prima facie evidence of injurious dumping. If after an assessment of the information presented it were to be apparent that there is sufficient evidence to initiate a proceeding, the Commission would do so within a period of 45 days after the lodging of the complaint
