Nach Artikel 4 Absatz 2 derselben Verordnung wird diese Beihilfe je Hektar Anbau- und Erntefl(cid:132)che so festgesetzt, daß ein Gleichgewicht zwischen dem f(cid:129)r die Gemein- schaft erforderlichen Produktionsumfang und den Absatz- m(cid:148)glichkeiten f(cid:129)r diese Erzeugung sichergestellt wird. Bei ihrer Festsetzung ist der Weltmarktpreis f(cid:129)r Fasern und f(cid:129)r Saaten von Flachs und Hanf zu ber(cid:129)cksichtigen. Artikel 1 F(cid:129)r das Wirtschaftsjahr 1998/99 wird die in Artikel 4 der Verordnung (EWG) Nr. 1308/70 vorgesehene Beihilfe wie folgt festgesetzt: a) f(cid:129)r Faserlein auf 815,86 ECU je Hektar; b) f(cid:129)r Hanf auf 662,88 ECU je Hektar. Artikel 2 Auf dem Hanfmarkt war in den letzten Wirtschaftsjahren eine starke und anhaltende Tendenz zur Ausweitung der Anbaufl(cid:132)chen festzustellen.

INTRODUCTION 1. On 16 June 1997 the Commission submitted to Council a proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90 of 7 May 1990 on the establishment of the European Environment Agency and the European environment information and observation network. The legal basis is Article 130s(1) of the EC Treaty. 2. The European Parliament delivered its opinion at first reading on 18 February 1998. 3. The Economic and Social Committee delivered its opinion on 28 January 1998. 4. The Commission submitted to Council an amended proposal on 25 March 1998. 5. The Council adopted a common position on 20 July 1998, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the EC Treaty. II. OBJECTIVE The common position aims at amending Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90, on the basis of the Commission’s amended proposal, by strengthening the role of the European Environment Agency, especially with regard to its tasks in the areas of implementation of Community environmental law and dissemination of environmental information, without however broadening the scope of its action. This approach is also in line with the evaluation of the first five years of operation of the Agency which accompanied the Commission’s proposal. III. ANALYSIS OF THE COMMON POSITION General comments The Council has endorsed the general approach on the European Environment Agency contained in the Commission’s proposal, consistently with the general objective set out under section II above. The common position incorporates in whole or in part most of the European Parliament’s amendments that the Commission had accepted in its amended proposal. One additional amendment, rejected by the Commission for legal technical reasons, was incorporated in the common position. The Council did not retain in its common position the European Parliament Amendment No 2, which had been only partially included in the Commission’s amended proposal, and Amendments No 7 and No 8, which were not included in the Commission’s amended proposal. Detailed comments on specific points, covering article by article the major changes, are given below. C 364/6 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 11. 98 Detailed comments Preamble In addition to the necessary modifications to the text of the Preamble to make it consistent with the content of the common position the following main changes are signalled: — the redrafting of the first two ‘whereas’ clauses to ensure full consistency with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90, — the addition of two new ‘whereas’ clauses (No 7 and No 9) concerning, respectively, the translation of documents of the EEA, attributed to the Translation Centre for bodies of the European Union, and the distribution of the ‘topic centres’ to be done by the Agency’s management board so as to reflect the different geographic circumstances in the Community. Article 1 The wording of this Article, setting out the objective of the Regulation, has been updated with a reference to sustainable development (paragraph 2). Article 2 This Article lists and describes the tasks of the Agency. Compared to Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90 further tasks have been added to the enumeration with a view to strengthening the role of the Agency, especially with regard to the provision and dissemination of information on the environment; furthermore, existing tasks have been clarified. The need to carry out these tasks in accordance with the Agency’s multi-annual work-programme has been stressed. The following are the main alterations made by the Council to the Commission’s proposal: — point (ii) has been reformulated and reorganised so as to describe more clearly the different tasks of the Agency. In the task of assisting the monitoring of environmental measures through support in reporting requirements, the aim of coordinating reporting has been added; the advisory role for the Agency vis-a-vis individual Member States on the ‘development, establishment and expansion of their systems for the monitoring of environmental measures’ has been retained but only upon their request, and provided that these activities are consistent with the Agency’s annual work programme and do not endanger the fulfilment of other Agency’s tasks; in this context ‘peer review’ by experts is allowed, but only at the specific request of Member States; — point (iii) has been amended. The Council has not retained the wording in the Commission’s proposal, resulting in part from an amendment of the European Parliament. More specifically, the concept of a ‘repository of information on the environment’, including a data register, has been replaced by the Council with the broader term of ‘reference centre for information on the environment’; — in point (vi), the Council has estimated useful on the one hand to specify that the indicator reports should focus upon specific issues, and on the other, not to fix the frequency with which such reports should be prepared so as to give the Agency greater flexibility in this respect; — the last three points, i. e. (xi), (xii) and (xiii), describe further tasks of the Agency introduced by the Commission’s proposal. The major amendments in the common position are as follows: (xi) the term ‘reliable’ has been considered redundant in this context and therefore suppressed; the explicit obligation to make this information available in all official Community languages has not been retained in the text of the common position; 25. 11. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 364/7 (xii) the reformulation of this task with regard to EIA aims at not creating ambiguities concerning the role of the Agency in this area; (xiii) the redrafting aims here at clarifying the role of environmental research vis-a-vis policy-making. Article 3 This Article, concerning the principal areas of activity of the Agency, has been modified so as to include: — a broader reference to the ‘present and foreseeable’ state of the evironment and to ‘sustainable development’ (in paragraph 1), — a broader reference to ‘marine’ and not only coastal protection (paragraph 2), — a reference to the possible cooperation between the Agency and ‘other bodies, including the IMPEL network’, for the purpose of exchanging information (new paragraph 3). This last addition is based on an amendment proposed by the European Parliament and that the Commission, although not contrary in principle, had rejected on legal technical grounds. Article 4 the This Article concerns information network established by Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90, its composition and functioning, including the designation and operation of the topic centres. The common position retains the Commission’s proposal of applying the normal voting rule of two-thirds majority also to the designation of the topic centres (with corresponding amendment in Article 8). Main modifications to the Commission’s proposal include the following: — aspects and modalities of cooperation between the Agency and the Member States in the collection, collation and analysis of environment information ‘nationwide’ (paragraph 2, second sub-paragraph): the different wording is motivated by the fact that the Council has not estimated appropriate to establish a legal obligation for Member States and by the need to take account of the different territorial organisation within the various Member States which also affects the way in which data are provided and analysed. The possibility for Member States to join to cooperate in these activities at a ‘transnational level’ was also estimated useful and included; — suppression of the reference to a ‘precise geographical area’ (paragraph 4, second sentence). Article 8 The major changes made by the Council to the Commission’s proposal, with the aim of improving the functioning of the Agency, include: — a partial reformulation of paragraph 1, referring in the Commission’s proposal to the participation of EEA/EFTA States in the Agency’s management board. The Council has preferred a more generic formulation, which is consistent with the formulations normally used in Community acts in these cases and refers to the ‘relevant provisions’, not prejudging n this way possible future evolutions; — a redrafting of paragraph 2 as far as the way of operating of the ‘bureau’ is concerned: delegation of executive decisions by the management board is allowed, but ‘according to the rules that it shall adopt’; — the inclusion of a ‘multiannual budget estimate’ (paragraph 4), rather than ‘proposal’, in the multiannual work-programme. C 364/8 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 11. 98 Article 10 Paragraph 2 was modified by the Council with regard to the composition of the scientific committee which assists the management board, with the aim of ensuring that the scientific expertise in the committee reflect the areas of activity of the Agency and therefore that the scientific committee can better support the management board in its task. Article 15 The last paragraph of this Article was readjusted to cover all forms of cooperation envisaged (including the new paragraph 2a) and avoid duplication of efforts. Article 20 Apart from the re-ordering of the paragraphs, this Article was slightly redrafted on the basis of an amendment of the European Parliament, also accepted by the Commission: the text as redrafted by the Council provides now for a Council’s review of the progress of and tasks undertaken by the Agency ‘in relation to the Community’s overall policy on the environment’. Annex A minor modification has been made in ‘Section B, point 1, first sentence’, which refers now to the Community statistical ‘services’. The Commission has agreed to the amendments made by the Council
