Nuclear safety Chernobyl has awakened our society to the dangers of inadequately engineered and managed nuclear plants, and to the challenges of nuclear waste management. These challenges are by their nature international. R&D for nuclear safety needs resources and focus. Cher- nobyl should serve internationally (including the European Union, the Central and Eastern European countries, Rus- sia, the United States and others) as a first point of concentration for scientific and industrial R&D. The Commission should prepare the ground for such an international venture. (Amendment 12) Annex II(II)(a) The long-term objective of this action, embracing all the research activities undertaken in the Member States and Switzerland aimed at harnessing fusion, is the joint creation of prototype reactors for power stations to meet the needs of society: operational safety, environmental compatibility, econ- omic viability. The proposed strategy to achieve this long-term objective includes the development of an experimental reactor (The Next Step) and then of a demonstration reactor (DEMO). Progress to date suggests the construction of the Next Step during the next decade is both technically feasible and strategically necessary. This should preferably take place within the framework of the ITER (International Thermonu- clear Experimental Reactor) international cooperation pro- ject. The objective of this action, embracing all the research activities undertaken in the Member States and Switzerland aimed at harnessing fusion, is the maintenance of scientific and technological expertise in the domain of controlled thermonuclear fusion, with a view, in the long term, to the possible construction of safe, clean and economically com- petitive prototype reactors for power stations operated by utilities in an increasingly liberalised and privatised mar- ket. The proposed strategy to achieve this objective involves the pursuit of a range of technological options in the national associations, including spherical tokamaks, stellarators, inertial confinement and continued work on theoretical plasma physics. 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/63 Wednesday 17 December 1997 TEXT PROPOSED BY THE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS BY PARLIAMENT During the period from 1998 to 2002, implementation of the strategy will entail: During the period from 1998 to 2002, implementation of the strategy will entail: › the fusion physics and technology activities needed for the associations and European industry to develop the capaci- ty to construct the Next Step and prepare to operate it; Europe will continue to participate in the detailed design activities for the ITER with a view to its possible construc- tion; › activities in the field of physics to improve the basic concepts of fusion devices; › the fusion physics and technology activities needed for the associations and European industry to maintain the capacity to construct the Next Step should any decision to construct it be taken in the future; › activities in the field of physics to improve the basic concepts of fusion devices, including research into inertial confinement in addition to magnetic confine- ment;. › technological activities for the longer term which are essential to make progress with harnessing fusion. › technological activities for the longer term which are essential to make progress with harnessing fusion.

institutional framework and respects the fundamental rights and national identities of its Member States, whose systems of government are based on democratic principles, B. whereas the Treaty of Amsterdam transfers many areas from the third pillar to the first, C. whereas the Presidency and the Commission must regularly inform the European Parliament of work in this area, pursuant to the first paragraph of Article K. 6 of the EU Treaty, and whereas the Presidency must consult the European Parliament on the principal aspects of activities in these areas and ensure that its views are (cid:145)duly taken into consideration(cid:146), as stipulated in the second paragraph of that Article, D. whereas relations with the European Parliament have improved because the most recent Presidencies have shown themselves willing to consult it on all major decisions, E. whereas, from the beginning of 1997 up until December, the Presidencies will actually have carried out around 15 of the consultation exercises provided for in Article K. 6, such as those concerning: › Odysseus, › priority for cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs, › a joint action on the creation of

which specifies unambiguously the obligations of the Council and the Commission vis-a‘-vis the European Parliament, G. whereas in its abovementioned resolution of 12 December 1996 it called on the Council Presidency: › › › › to provide written information to Parliament(cid:146)s Committee on Civil Liberties and Internal Affairs at the beginning of each Presidency, to hold a discussion with the members of that committee before each meeting of the JHA Council (even before informal meetings of the Council), to forward every draft decision (joint action, resolution, convention, etc. ) to the

held, to inform the Committee on Civil Liberties and Internal Affairs of its outcome and of the response to the opinions delivered by the European Parliament, H. whereas the above calls have been met

Notes with satisfaction that it has been increasingly informed and consulted, in accordance with Article K. 6 of the EU Treaty, but now calls for an undertaking by the Council to apply the provisions of Article K. 11 of the Treaty of Amsterdam, as the Luxembourg Presidency has undertaken to do; 2. Appreciates, in particular, the fact that it was consulted about the priorities for cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs for the period between 1 January 1998 and the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, which was not previously the case; 3. Renews its call to the Council for an annual report making it possible to prepare the debate provided for in Article K. 6 of the EU Treaty (it received such a report only in respect of 1995), and repeats the specific calls on the Council in 1996 to set out progress in: › ratification of all conventions and the implementation of those and other binding instruments adopted under Article K. 3, › implementation of the work programme, › application of Article K. 6; 4. Points out that, owing to the tightness of deadlines in particular, Parliament(cid:146)s right to be consulted, which is enshrined in the new Treaty, can be exercised only if the draft Council measures on which Parliament is required to deliver an opinion are available in good time in all language versions; Calls on the Council also to inform it about informal meetings and, where appropriate, to consult it in 5. accordance with the second paragraph of Article K. 6 of the EU Treaty; 6. Deplores the fact that virtually none of the conventions which have been signed by the Member States under Article K. 3 have yet been ratified by each of them, and sees this as confirming its criticisms in previous years about the cumbersome nature and complexity of conventions, and in particular their ratification procedures; Calls on the Member States to speed up the ratification of conventions under Article K. 3 that they 7. have signed up until now; Notes that progress towards the forms of decision laid down in Article K. 3, which was already noted 8. in 1996, has continued; 9. Welcomes the fact that, despite disputes as to the extent to which joint actions are binding, the Council has opted more for them, in preference to conventions, since they are a legal instrument which enables rules to be transposed into national law more speedily; 10. Deplores the fact that major proposals, drawn up secretly by working parties, are made known to organizations before the European Parliament has been informed thereof, let alone consulted thereon, this being the case with the (cid:145)draft Council resolution on measures to combat marriages of convenience(cid:146), this being a subject, moreover, which has never appeared on the Council(cid:146)s programme; 11. Calls on the Commission to make full use of its right of initiative regarding cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs and, above all, the priorities set by the Council, particularly during the period preceding the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam; 12. Calls on the Commission to make use of all its current prerogatives and, to that end, to devote all the requisite human resources thereto, bearing in mind, in particular, the appropriations that the European Parliament intends to allocate for the promotion of the policies referred to in this resolution; 13. Welcomes the Commission proposal for a Council joint action on the temporary protection of displaced persons; notes that it was consulted on this proposal within acceptable time-limits; Regrets the fact, nonetheless, that there have not been Commission proposals on other important 14. aspects of priorities concerning asylum and immigration; 15. Calls on the Commission to take account, as it should, of security aspects in its proposal, pursuant to Article 100c of the EC Treaty, for a list of countries whose nationals must have a visa on entering the territory of the European Union, and to ensure, in particular, that the abolition of visa requirements does not have the effect of facilitating trafficking in drugs and human beings in the European Union; 16. Welcomes the High Level Group(cid:146)s action plan to combat organized crime and also calls for the implementation of its recommendations to be speeded up, it being understood that it must be consulted on the proposals that are made; C 14/74 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Wednesday 17 December 1997 17. Welcomes the fact that the Luxembourg Presidency has kept its promises regarding the undertaking to draw up an instrument establishing a network of liaison judicial officials to promote judicial cooperation; considers that this instrument constitutes a first step towards establishing a structure of points of contact between the judicial authorities of the Member States, but that the common European legal and judicial area that it so earnestly desires is still a long way off; 18. Calls on the Council, in addition, to: › create the conditions enabling Europol to start work with effect from 1 July 1998, by speeding up the process of ratification of the Europol Convention and by adopting forthwith the associated measures which are still outstanding, › take the measures needed for the start-up of Europol(cid:146)s activities, by making available to it the requisite personnel and equipment, › monitor Europol(cid:146)s working methods as soon as it begins operations, so as to determine the operational powers that may be conferred on it in the context of the development of its structure, and to report to Parliament annually on this point; › consult it separately on all protocols relating to Europol, in particular the Protocol on privileges and immunities, as it called for in its resolution of 14 March 1996 on Europol (1); 19. Calls, further, on the Council to ensure, under the arrangements for the temporary protection of displaced persons, an appropriate allocation of the costs associated with a decision to admit them provisionally; Calls on the Council to ensure that decisions on asylum applications in the European Union are 20. taken within a maximum period of one year; Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Economic and 21.

Title XII Articles 129 b and c; Title XVI), › having regard to the report of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy and the opinions of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, the Committee on Research, Technological Development and Energy, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection, the Committee on Institutional Affairs, the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens(cid:146) Rights, the Committee on Regional Policy and the Committee on Transport and Tourism (A4-0357/97), A. whereas services of general economic interest (or public services), which are economic activities considered vital for citizens and society as a whole, are founded on the principles of continuity, solidarity, and equal access and treatment for all users; B. whereas the qualification of a particular activity as being of general interest and the level of services consequently guaranteed to citizens obviously depend on technological evolution, on conceptions of society, and on the traditions and economic means of a country, C. whereas in our modern democratic societies, general interest in that sense commonly includes social and territorial cohesion, the effective enjoyment of fundamental freedoms, overall economic efficiency, concern for long-term needs and control of non-renewable or rare resources, D. whereas these considerations apply above all to the main network activities including distribution of water, electricity and gas, railways, local public transport, broadcasting, telecommunications and postal services, E. whereas these considerations normally give rise to constraints on the operators and regulators of services in these sectors, which are generally expressed by the principles of continuity, equality and/or adaptation, F. whereas the operation of public services under these principles normally leads to missions and obligations being imposed by public authorities on the operators and often to special rights being granted to them which are considered necessary for effectively carrying out their duties, G. whereas such a concept of services of general interest is shared, under various names, by all Member States, H. whereas, in spite of this common conception, the way in which these services are organised varies considerably from one country to another, in terms of public authorities concerned (national or local), type of operators (including the administrative and special rights of these operators), and the method of regulation by the authorities, I. whereas the notion and reality of public services is thus not linked with the organisation, control and ownership of its operators and cannot in particular be confused with public undertaking, J. whereas the Union is competent in the field of public services, either (cid:145)negatively(cid:146) on the basis of fundamental rules governing the single market (removal of special rights of operators if they are obstacles to free movement of people, goods and services or to Europe-wide competition); or (cid:145)positively(cid:146) through the implementation of Treaty obligations to protect general interest (either globally as provided for in Article 90(2) or through its competence to pursue economic and social cohesion, consumer protection, protection of the environment, trans-European networks), K. whereas, more specifically, the rulings handed down by the Court of Justice in the Corbeau case on 19 May 1993 and the Municipality of Almelo case on 27 April 1994 spell out the conditions under which given exclusive rights granted in respect of a service of general interest may constitute an exception to the rules on competition, C 14/76 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 1. 98 Wednesday 17 December 1997 L. whereas there is a need to develop a recognizable people(cid:146)s Europe as a complement to the single market and the economic integration process, M. whereas services of general economic interest form an essential component of economic and social cohesion; whereas, in addition to their importance to those living in less-favoured regions or regions of low population density, such services are a not inconsiderable asset in ensuring the continuity and development of economic activity in such regions; whereas, consequently, they must continue to be offered, without additional charges to the tax-payer, at levels of quality and price essentially equivalent to those in other, better favoured regions or regions of higher population density, N. whereas the principle of subsidiarity recommends leaving to Member States the primary responsi- bility for defining the public services, determining the requirements imposed on operators in terms of range, level and quality and their special rights and the legal instruments needed for doing so, choosing the operators, funding the service and adopting a method of regulation, O. whereas, however, the Union should have the responsibility to ensure that, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the Member States determine for each sector a number of public service obligations which may include fixing the minimum level of services, wherever the market mechanism fails to function throughout the territory of the Union, P. whereas such action, together with the creation of trans-European networks, could lead to the setting up of a European framework for public services, Q. whereas such an achievement would give European integration a new legitimacy by bringing it closer to the needs of the citizens, 1. Welcomes the new Article 7d included in the EC Treaty by the Treaty of Amsterdam as recognizing the notion of services of general interest as one of the common values of Europe and as a principle of Community law in its own right, while asserting that the Community and the Member States shall oversee the operation of such services within their respective powers; Further welcomes the adoption by the Amsterdam European Council of the Declaration to the Final 2. Act which stipulates that the provisions of the new Article 7d shall be implemented with full respect for the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, inter alia as regards the principles of equality of treatment, quality and continuity of the services in question; 3. Welcomes also the reference in the new Article 7d to Articles 86 and 87 of the EC Treaty and calls on the Commission to ensure the application of Community competition law to services of general interest; Acknowledges the value of the Commission(cid:146)s communication on services of general interest in 4. Europe as expressing for the first time a full recognition of public services in their genuine definition, their justifications, their principles and their European dimension, including proposals for a European policy on the matter; Points to the need, where services of general interest are concerned, for forms of cooperation to be 5. established firstly among the Member States and secondly between the public and private sectors with a view to promoting job-creating projects and developing research; Calls on the Commission to define the scope and nature of services of general interest, together with 6. the principles underlying them, and to specify more closely both the level of services necessary for accomplishing EU objectives and the regulatory framework needed to ensure success, and to consider subsequently drawing up an action plan, accompanied by a timetable, for translating Treaty objectives into policy and implementing measures; 7. Calls on the Commission to take duly into account, in drawing up its future proposals and in implementing the internal market relating directly or indirectly to services of general economic interest, the objectives of Article 130a on economic and social cohesion as specified in Article 130b of the Treaty; 19. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 14/77 Wednesday 17 December 1997 8. Calls on the Commission to draw up a charter of principles for services of general economic interest, containing their justification and principles (both traditional and new), the type of missions and rights to be given to operators and a list of sectors where the notion should apply; 9. Calls on the Commission to propose a package of measures to improve the effectiveness of these services in a competitive environment, so that the public and economic operators are guaranteed quality services; 10. Calls on the Commission to publish (cid:145)Green(cid:146) and (cid:145)White(cid:146) Papers laying out a timetabled plan to translate Treaty and charter aspirations into action, outlining in particular any necessary legislation; the plan should specify in each of the sectors concerned the levels of service to be guaranteed to the citizens, the special rights that might be necessary to carry out the service and any necessary regulatory apparatus to be set up at Community level; Instructs its competent committees to develop democratic scrutiny for Commission activity 11. regarding services of general interest with a remit to comment on relevant legislation; 12. Calls on the Commission to consult regularly representatives of public service undertakings, competitors and the respective workforces concerning questions relating to services of general interest; Calls for the attribution of a special responsibility for public services, particularly for preparing 13. legislation, to one of the Commissioners and one of the Commission(cid:146)s directorates- general; 14. Calls on the Commission to provide for full coordination between its competent departments with a view to ensuring balanced consideration of the concerns of both competition policy and services of general interest; Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Economic and 15. Social Committee and the parliaments and governments of the Member States.
