Pourrait-elle également indiquer les critères appliqués pour décider de ces dérogations? Réponse donnée par Mme Bjerregaard au nom de la Commission (23 octobre 1998) L’article 3 (3) de la directive 98/70/CE du Parlement et du Conseil du 13 octobre 1998 (1) concernant la qualité du carburant et du gas-oil et modifiant la directive du Conseil 93/12/CEE (2) stipule que par dérogation, un État membre peut être autorisé, en soumettant sa demande à la Commission avant le 31 août 1999, à continuer à autoriser la commercialisation d’essence au plomb jusqu’au 1er janvier 2005. L’État membre doit apporter la preuve que l’introduction d’une interdiction se traduirait par de graves problèmes socio-économiques ou n’entraînerait pas d’avantages globaux pour l’environnement ou la santé en raison notamment de la situation climatique de cet État membre. À cette date, aucun État membre n’a soumis de telle demande de dérogation. (1) (2) JO L 350 du 28. 12. 1998. JO L 74 du 27. 3. 1993.

Indledning: indholdet af Kommissionens forslag 1. 1. Beslutning nr. 1692/96/EF om Fællesskabets retningslinjer for udvikling af det transeuropæiske trans- portnet (TEN) indeholder bredt formulerede rammebe- stemmelser om etableringen af et integreret multimodalt infrastrukturnet (2). 1. 2. Hensigten med Kommissionens ændringsforslag er at tydeliggøre og styrke søhavnes, flod- og kanalhavnes og intermodale terminalers placering i TEN. Disse forbindelsespunkter er en forudsætning for 1. 3. at kunne veksle mellem de forskellige transportformer. Udviklingen af intermodal transport skal bidrage til en mere effektiv udnyttelse af hele nettet både i driftsmæssig og miljømæssig henseende. 1. 4. Kommissionen påpeger, at den i forbindelse med vurderingen af, hvilke søhavne, flod- og kanalhavne og intermodale terminaler der skulle medtages i TEN, gennemførte omfattende drøftelser med medlemsstater- ne og andre berørte parter. 1. 5. Som helhed tilsluttede medlemsstaterne og de øvrige involverede parter sig initiativet om at integrere søhavne, flod- og kanalhavne og intermodale terminaler mere effektivt i det multimodale TEN. 1. 6. Kommissionen understreger, at der hovedsagelig kun var meningsforskelle om detaljer i forslaget, som f. eks. antallet og placeringen af forbindelsespunkter samt kriterierne for projekter af fælles interesse. (1) EFT C 120 af 18. 4. 1998, s. 14. (2) EFT L 228 af 9. 9. 1996, s. 1. 1. 7. TEN er et multimodalt infrastrukturnet, som gradvist skal kombinere og integrere de forskellige transportformer og nationale net. 1. 8. Det bygger på den hypotese, at en sådan integre- ring vil resultere i en samlet forbedring af effektiviteten, som igen vil reducere den trafikale overbelastning og forureningen. 1. 9. Det er afgørende, at de forskellige transportfor- mer kombineres bedre, hvis den forventede vækst i transportaktiviteterne i de kommende år i mærkbart omfang skal kunne baseres på mindre belastede og mindre miljøskadelige transportformer. 1. 10. Kommissionen gør endvidere opmærksom på, at integreringen af hidtil adskilte net vil give bedre adgang til alle regioner i EU, hvilket vil have positiv indvirkning på handel og produktivitet. Som et multimodalt net består TEN af forbindel- 1. 11. sesled og knudepunkter. Eftersom formålet med TEN er at kombinere og integrere forskellige transportformer, kan retningslinjerne måske opfattes som værende util- strækkelige, når de ikke indeholder specifikke kriterier og skitseplaner for udviklingen af de vigtigste forbindel- sespunkter. 2. 12. 98 DA De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende C 373/21 1. 12. Især søhavne, flod- og kanalhavne og omlad- ningsfaciliteter er nødvendige forudsætninger for, at intermodal transport kan fungere inden for et multimo- dalt infrastrukturnet. 2. 6. I denne sammenhæng bør der eksplicit henvises til EU-borgerens ret til mobilitet og den sociale betydning heraf. Dette gælder navnlig borgere i EU’s perifere områder. Endvidere kan havnenes betydning for turis- men næppe overvurderes. 1. 13. at være ufuldstændigt. TEN må derfor i sin nuværende form anses for 1. 14. Udvælgelsen af søhavne i TEN er et vigtigt skridt i retning af etablering af et multimodalt infrastrukturnet. Historisk set har søhavne ofte været udgangspunkter for etablering af større transportforbindelser på fastlandet. I dag spiller søhavnene en vigtig rolle for projekteringen og etableringen af transportsystemer i havnenes opland. Kommissionen har besluttet at lade forbindel- 1. 15. sespunkter inde i land indgå i forslaget, eftersom søhavne og forbindelsespunkter inde i land er indbyrdes afhængige og lige betydningsfulde elementer for udvik- lingen af intermodal transport. er en forslag 1. 16. Sammenfattende kan det siges, at Kommissio- beslutning nens præcisering nr. 1692/96/EF om det transeuropæiske transportnet. I forslaget indgår både snævrere og bredere udvælgelses- kriterier for søhavne, flod- og kanalhavne og intermodale terminaler. af 2. Generelle bemærkninger 2. 1. Regionsudvalget støtter Kommissionens bestræ- belser på at give søhavnenes og flod- og kanalhavnenes rolle i den intermodale transport en bedre definition på europæisk niveau. 2. 2. Regionsudvalget henviser til tidligere udtalelser, hvor det har understreget, at skibsfart og intermodal transport bør tildeles en mere central rolle i den europæiske transportpolitik. Det bør ske med udgangspunkt i en integreret 2. 3. transportpolitisk strategi, som allerede i første beslut- ningsfase inddrager aspekter, der har at gøre med den fysiske planlægning. 2. 4. Der må endvidere som grundlæggende betingelse tages større hensyn til de reelle transportomkostninger og indføres en politik til harmonisering af konkurrence- betingelserne. Regionsudvalget beklager endvidere, at man ikke 2. 7. har benyttet lejligheden til nærmere at præcisere kriterier og specifikationer for projekter af fælles interesse vedrø- rende de indre vandveje. 2. 8. Regionsudvalget kan ikke forstå, hvorfor adskil- lige flod- og kanalhavne, der kan bidrage væsentligt til øget anvendelse af de indre vandveje i Europa, ikke er medtaget på kortene i bilag I. Regionsudvalget går ind for at gøre nettet af flod- og kanalhavne langt tættere. Det europæiske net af indre vandveje må optime- 2. 9. res inden for rammerne af TEN, og en række grænseover- skridende forbindelser må bringes op på en tilstrækkelig størrelse og kapacitet. Først da vil flod- og kanalhavnene effektivt kunne udfylde den rolle, der er tiltænkt dem. 2. 10. Hvad angår koordineringen, er Regionsudval- get enig i, at udviklingen af søhavne, flod- og kanalhavne og intermodale terminaler næsten udelukkende er mar- kedsbestemt. Regionsudvalget ser med særlig tilfredshed på, 2. 11. at søhavnene inddrages i de transeuropæiske net (TEN) for at sikre tilkoblingen af søhavnene som knudepunkter i den internationale godstrafik til de øvre overregionale TEN-transportveje. 2. 12. Den intermodale transport er et væsentligt element i en afbalanceret transportpolitik. Regionsud- valget kan ikke forstå, hvorfor adskillige terminaler for kombitransport, der kan bidrage væsentligt til øget anvendelse af intermodal transport, ikke er medtaget på kortene i bilag I. Regionsudvalget går ind for at gøre det intermodale transportnet langt tættere. 2. 13. Regionsudvalget støtter derfor Kommissionens bestræbelser på også at yde finansiel støtte til havnepro- jekter som forehavender af fælles interesse i opbygningen af transeuropæiske transportnet. Når man medtager havneprojekter, understreges søhavnenes betydning som logistiske centre og knudepunkter i det europæiske trafiksystem. Men vurderingen og udvælgelsen af havne- projekter må følges kritisk. 2. 5. Regionsudvalget konstaterer med nogen bekla- gelse, at Kommissionens forslag næsten udelukkende er rettet mod godstransport, selv om havnene også udgør en vigtig del af TEN i forbindelse med persontransport. 2. 14. Regionsudvalget ser med tilfredshed på, at der ikke foretages en klassifikation af søhavne i lighed med den opdeling af lufthavne, der ligger i retningslinjerne, C 373/22 DA De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende 2. 12. 98 og at der således ikke tænkes på en udpegelse af bestemte havne som »søhavne af europæisk interesse«. For at undgå konkurrenceforvridninger bør 2. 15. projekter inden for et havneområde heller ikke efter Regionsudvalgets principielle opfattelse kunne støttes på grundlag af TEN-budgettet. Dermed slås det også fast, at fremme af suprastrukturprojekter er udelukket. Kommissionen har anerkendt, at der må tages hensyn til enkeltprojekters relevans for konkurrenceevnen. 2. 16. De tre påtænkte undtagelser fra princippet om, at investeringer i havneområders infrastruktur ikke berettiger til støtte, bør ikke kun gælde trafikstyrings- og informationssystemer, såsom EDI, men også projekter vedrørende intermodal transport. Dermed vil alle de projekter, der er nævnt i bilag II, afsnit 7, herunder også havnerelaterede projekter, være støtteberettigede. Dette vil imidlertid føre til en betydelig konkurrenceforvrid- ning, da det navnlig drejer sig om investeringer i omladningssuprastrukturen, og det grundlæggende kri- terium vil dermed så at sige endnu en gang blive ophævet ad bagvejen, så det på søhavneområdet udelukkende er infrastrukturprojekter, der er støtteberettigede. Det er derfor nødvendigt at udvide støtten til projekter vedrø- rende intermodal transport. I støtteberettigede regioner bør havnerelaterede 2. 17. projekter desuden kunne opnå støtte via samhørigheds- og strukturfonden. Herved vil støtten i undtagelsestilfæl- de også kunne omfatte investeringer i suprastrukturen. Med denne foranstaltning griber Kommissionen aktivt ind i konkurrencen mellem de europæiske søhavne. Dette bør imidlertid ikke gå ud over de nordeuropæiske havne. Konkurrencen bør ikke forvrides via en politik, der tager sigte på at styre eller foretage en »retfærdig fordeling« af trafikstrømmen mellem de europæiske søhavne, hvad enten det drejer sig om finansiel støtte eller bedre rammebetingelser. EU’s foranstaltninger bør ikke føre til en udjævning af konkurrencen mellem de europæiske søhavne. Det er ikke acceptabelt, at anvendelsen af offentlige regionaludviklingsmidler truer lønsomheden af private investeringer andre steder. Hvis bestemte områder skal modtage regionalstøtte, bør det ske ved at anlægge og fremme industrier, som passer ind på etableringsstedet. Regionsudvalget går kraftigt imod en målrettet omlægning af eksisterende og velorga- niserede trafikstrømme. Bruxelles, den 17. september 1998. 2. 18. Der er derfor gode grunde til, at Fællesskabet tager initiativer på området. Sådanne initiativer bør vel at mærke gennemføres i nært samarbejde med regionerne, medlemsstaterne og de lokale myndigheder og under fuld hensyntagen til subsidiaritetsprincippet. 2. 19. I øvrigt er der på en lang række beslutningsni- veauer — selv om Kommissionens hævder det modsatte i sit forslag — allerede gjort bestræbelser på at koordinere forbindelsespunkterne på grundlag af en overordnet transport- og mobilitetsplan. 2. 20. Dette vil sikkert på længere sigt føre til en hierarkisk inddeling af søhavnene på europæisk plan. 3. Konklusioner 3. 1. Regionsudvalget kan foreløbig godkende de i bilag I fastlagte kriterier for udvælgelse af søhavne og den deraf følgende liste over 300 søhavne, som er optaget i TEN. Regionsudvalget ser endvidere positivt på de undtagelsesbestemmelser, der foreslås indført for øerne i Det Ægæiske Hav og Det Ioniske Hav. 3. 2. I den europæiske transportpolitiks nuværende fase kan Regionsudvalget også erklære sig enig i krite- rierne for udvælgelse af terminaler og flod- og kanalhav- ne i bilag I (skitseplaner). 3. 3. Indtegningen af intermodale terminaler og flod- og kanalhavne på kortene i bilag I er dog ufuldstændig. Mange andre områder opfylder ligeledes kriterierne. Kortene må derfor suppleres med flere kort. 3. 4. Hvad angår beskrivelsen af projekterne i bilag III ønsker Regionsudvalget blot at fremhæve, at der i alle medlemsstater, ofte på de lokale og regionale myndigheders initiativ, foregår en rivende udvikling i prioriterede projekter og i fastlæggelsen heraf. 3. 5. Det havde været bedre regelmæssigt at ajourføre bilag III efter en bred høring af de regionale og lokale myndigheder. Manfred DAMMEYER Formand for Regionsudvalget

The Committee of the Regions considers a combination of the first and second approaches to be the best solution, namely to create the new framework for many on-line and interactive services, to co-exist with those currently applied and needed still to be built on. Brussels, 17 September 1998. The President of the Committee of the Regions Manfred DAMMEYER Opinion of the Committee of the Regions on ‘The significance of the intra-EU duty free regime to the regions’ (98/C 373/06) THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS, having regard to Council Directives 91/680/EEC (1) of 16 December 1991 and 92/12/ECC (2) of 25 February 1992 as they relate to the abolition of the intra-EU duty free regime on 30 June 1999; having regard to its Bureau decision taken on 12 March 1998, under the fourth paragraph of Article 198c of the Treaty establishing the European Community, to draw up an own-initiative opinion on the subject and to direct Commission 6 — to undertake the preparatory work; having regard to the EP’s Directorate General for Research’s Working Document of October 1997 on ‘The Economic and Social Consequences of Abolishing Duty Free with the EU’ (3); having regard to the conclusions of the EP public hearing on duty free held on 29 October 1997; having regard to the 3 April 1998 EP Resolution on the abolition of duty free sales (4); having regard to the draft opinion (CdR 109/98 rev. ) adopted by Commission 6 on 20 July 1998 (Rapporteur: Mrs McCarthy-Fry, Co-rapporteur: Mr Cummins); whereas the Committee of the Regions has already drawn attention to the importance of tourism and transport infrastructures to the regions, in for example, the following opinions: (1) OJ L 376, 31. 12. 1991. (2) OJ L 76, 23. 3. 1992. (3) EP’s Directorate General for Research’s Working Document of October 1997 on ‘The Economic and Social Consequences of Abolishing Duty Free with the EU’ (ref.

Introduction of such products (‘movement of excisable goods Direc- tive’) (6). 1. 1. The Single European Act envisaged the creation by end-1992 of an Internal Market without frontiers in which the free circulation of goods, persons, services and capital is assured. The achievement of the Single Community Market would entail the elimination of technical, physical and fiscal obstacles as factors which divided the markets and economies of the Member States as identified in the Commission’s 1985 White Paper on the completion of the Single Market. 1. 2. The abolition of the intra-EU duty free system was proposed by the Commission as one measure to complete the Single Market by 1 January 1993. The logic for the abolition of the system as cited by the then responsible Commissioner Scrivener was that the continuation of tax free sales for intra-Community journeys would imply the retention of some kind of frontier controls and would continue to distort the market in goods and of transport. 1. 3. The abolition of the intra-EU system required amendments to the common system of value added tax and new legislation on excise duties arrangements. Accordingly, in 1990, the Commission came forward with two proposals, the first concerned transitional arrangements for taxation with a view to establishment of the internal market (the ‘Fiscal Frontiers Directive’) (5). The second laid down general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding and movement 1. 4. During its debate on the ‘Fiscal Frontiers’ Pro- posal in November 1990 the European Parliament noted that that there could be serious social and economic consequences arising from the abolition of tax and duty free trade and called on the Commission to determine these consequences in a report to be presented to the Council and the European Parliament. Commissioner Scrivener confirmed that a study would be carried out, and again in May 1991 responding to a Parliamentary written question Commissioner Scrivener stated that ‘The Commission agreed with the wish of the European Parliament concerning a study on the social and regional consequences of the abolition of the fiscal borders, and most of all of the tax-free shops in the areas involved’. 1. 5. Similarly, the European Parliament’s report on the ‘movement of excisable goods’ Directive urged that the abolition of intra-EU duty free be postponed until 31 December 1995 in order to allow the industries involved adequate time to adapt and the Commission time to produce its report on the economic and social consequences. 1. 6. In November 1991, in a general decision on both the Commission’s proposals, the ECOFIN Council agreed that an extension until 30 June, 1999 would be appropriate in order to allow for the necessary measures to be taken ‘to deal with both the social repercussions in the sector affected and the regional difficulties, in frontier regions in particular. ’. The ‘Fiscal Frontiers’ Directive was adopted as amended at this meeting, the (1) OJ C 210, 14. 8. 1995, p. 99. (2) OJ C 126, 29. 4. 1996, p. 24. (3) OJ C 42, 10. 2. 1997, p. 22.

Thus the transitional regime for duty (i. e. VAT and excise) free was introduced. In order to facilitate the discontinu- ation of border controls, a vendor control system was later introduced by political agreement on 14 December 1992. 1. 7. However, to date no report on the social, economic and regional consequences has been forth- coming from the Commission. When questioned in July 1997 year on the subject during a European Parliament Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee hearing, the Commission stated that in view of the fact that intra-EU duty free was due to be abolished on 30 June, 1999 a study of the social and economic implications would no longer be relevant. This was not considered satisfactory by the Parliamen- tary Committee and its Chairman instructed the Parlia- ment’s research services to review the available indepen- dent economic data, to produce an assessment of the consequences identified and to suggest further areas of research to be undertaken by the Commission. This study (1) was completed in early October and was used as the basis for an EP public hearing on duty free, held on 29 October 1997. The report concluded that ‘at a time of high unemployment in much of the European Union, the possibility that ending intra EU duty free will result in substantial job losses cannot be taken lightly. The Commission should carry out its own study, paying particular attention to regional and local effects’. 1. 8. On 3 April, 1998, the European Parliament unanimously adopted a Resolution which notes: ‘there is considerable concern and apprehension about the consequences of abolition on jobs, regions and transport sectors, especially in peripheral regions and in the sectors of ferry services and regional airports’ and calls on the Commission ‘to carry out and publish an independent study into the social, economic, regional and revenue consequences of the abolition of duty and tax free sales in the EU as a matter of absolute urgency and no later than 30 September 1998 to ensure that a clearer picture of the situation is available’ (2). At the ECOFIN Council meeting of 19 May 1998 1. 9. several Member States expressed their support for a review of the future of intra-EU duty free trade. These countries represent approximately 85,5 % of the population of the EU. At this ECOFIN meeting, it is understood that the Commission acknowledged that there may be negative impacts arising from the abolition of the system and undertook the presentation of a working document to clarify the existing instruments available to Member States to address the consequences of the abolition of the intra-EU duty-free system. It is expected that this working document will be presented to and discussed at an ECOFIN meeting in Autumn 1998. 2. General Comments 2. 1. Research already available would indicate that the abolition of the intra-EU duty free system may give rise to severe social and economic consequences for many regions of the Union, particularly those that rely heavily on the contribution that duty-free trade makes to the viability of regional transport systems and to the promotion of tourism. 2. 2. Despite repeated calls, the Commission has not come forward with an independent analysis of the impact of the abolition of the current regime. As the deadline for the discontinuation of the intra-EU system grows closer, many regions and localities are facing an uncertain future. An abundance of conflicting indepen- dent studies are gaining currency in the regions the larger part of which paint gloomy scenarios for many regions primarily in terms of job losses across a broad range of sectors from ferry services to tourism and distillers to retailers. 2. 3. In view of the EU’s commitments to reducing unemployment and to the promotion of economic and social cohesion any perceived threat to a substantial number of jobs spanning a broad range of sectors must be carefully scrutinised. Both short and long term benefits of all EU measures must be carefully weighed up and their appropriateness constantly reviewed. 2. 4. With regard to the 1991 Council decision to abolish the intra-EU duty free system with effect from 30 June 1999, the following questions have yet to be fully answered: (1) EP’s Directorate General for Research’s Working Docu- ment of October 1997 on ‘The Economic and Social Consequences of Abolishing Duty Free with the EU’ (ref. PE 167. 048, W-30). (2) European Parliament Resolution of 3. 4. 1998 (ref. PE 268/23). 2. 4. 1. Have the circumstances which gave rise to the Council decision to extend the system to June 1999 as opposed to the Commission’s proposed deadline of end-December 1992 substantially changed? C 373/36 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 2. 12. 98 2. 4. 2. Has the Single Market developed to the extent envisaged (in terms of fiscal harmonisation) at the time that the decision was taken? and are intended for final consumption. In order to enforce these two preconditions, a set of indicative allowances have been retained for duty paid. 2. 4. 3. Has adequate consideration been given to the impact of the discontinuation of the system and have any guidelines been put forward to assist regions and Member States to mitigate any short or long term negative effects that discontinuation may have? 2. 4. 4. What has been the experience of Member States in applying the ‘Fiscal Frontiers’ and ‘movement of excisable goods’ Directives? 2. 4. 5. Do convincing arguments exist for a further limited extension of the regime beyond 30 June 1999 in order that proper, independent data on potential socio-economic effects of its abolition may be presented? In the absence of an independent, Commission 2. 5. study on the social and economic implications of the abolition of the intra-EU duty-free system, data referred to hereafter is based on independent reports from regions, Member States, the various transport and manufacturing sectors and various interest groupings. 3. Duty Free and the Single Market 3. 1. The abolition of the intra-EU duty-free system was proposed in the context of a Single Market with harmonised rates of VAT and excise duties. In such a market, the abolition of the system had a compelling logic. However in the absence of harmonisation of VAT and excise rates serious distortions of the market have occurred against which the effects on the operation of the Single Market as it stands of an intra-EU duty free system must be measured: 3. 1. 1. In theory, the coming into being of the Single Market should imply that travellers within the Union could purchase an infinite amount of tax/duty paid goods for export to another Member State. Although significant differences in VAT rates do still exist between neighbouring Member States (e. g. Denmark and Ger- many), these have not been considered to have given rise to unacceptable trade distortions. In the case of excise rates, differences between Member States are so vast that the Member States have found it impossible to accept complete free movement of duty paid goods. Thus the free movement of duty-paid goods applies only if these goods are personally transported by the traveller 3. 1. 2. However these indicative allowances are not globally applied and, most notably in high duty countries such as Ireland, Finland, Denmark and Sweden differing regimes concerning maximum quantities and travel-time periods apply. Moreover, indicative allowances does not apply uniformly to all territories of the Union: territories including the Canary Islands, the Heligoland Islands, the territory of Gibraltar among several others continue to apply the same limits to EU travellers as to those from non-EU countries (i. e. duty-free allowances). the system of 3. 1. 3. The system of indicative allowances for final consumption of duty-paid goods has given rise to losses of VAT and excise duty revenue to government exchequers in Member States which neighbour on others with substantially lower excise duty rates, and has had a negative effect on traders in neighbouring regions with differing excise rates resulting in unfair competition for legitimate traders. 3. 1. 4. It is clear that in Member States where rates of excise duty are low, there is no substantial difference between duty free and duty paid and that disparities in levels of duties imposed has given rise to far more significant market distortions and complications for traders, travellers and border controllers than the existing intra-EU duty-free system. 3. 1. 5. In this context of non-harmonised excise and VAT rates and the resulting market distortions to which this lack of harmonisation gives rise should the EU focus remain fixed on the abolition of the comparatively benign intra-EU duty free system given that its premature abolition (i. e. before the creation of the Single Market envisaged by the Commission’s own 1985 White Paper) may have severe adverse consequences for those regions which are heavily reliant on it? 4. Employment (1) 4. 1. It has been estimated that as many as 140 000 EU citizens may see their jobs placed in severe jeopardy should intra-EU duty-free trade be abolished. This figure (1) In the absence of an independent European Commission report on the subject, all data referred to in sections 4 and 5 of this opinion have been taken primarily from various analyses carried out by individual regions and Member States, the European Parliament, industry associations, trade union associations etc. Oral exchanges with represen- tatives of these sectors have furthermore been taken into account. As such, all data is indicative and based on best approximations of the information available. 2. 12. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 373/37 takes into account: direct job losses, defined as those jobs at actual duty-free outlets in airports, on board airlines and on ferries; indirect losses, defined as jobs lost in the supporting industries such as harbours, transport links, manufacturers and distributors; and, induced job losses, defined as jobs lost due to a reduced net wage income in the local economy from loss of direct and indirect jobs. 4. 1. 1. Current available estimates on potential job losses in the aviation sector put figures as high as 30 000 (direct, indirect and induced). This figure is based on an assumption that some 60 % of total profits from tax and duty-free sales will be lost. Such profit loss is likely to lead to an increase in air fares of up to 20 % which in turn may lead to a fall in passenger numbers of as much as 4 %. A fall in passenger numbers will in turn lead to fleet rationalisation, contraction of routes, reduced investment and further job losses in the regions and localities affected. 4. 1. 2. Increased fares are most likely to negatively impact low-cost and charter services which traditionally are most sensitive to price increases and loss of revenue. Furthermore, these sectors of the industry are also most likely to have a relatively high dependence on intra-EU traffic and the use of smaller regional and secondary airports serving major cities. These airports are, in turn, most often heavily reliant on duty-free sales which provide them with substantial revenues and enable them to maintain landing charges at low levels. Loss of this revenue would lead to increased landing charges which would oblige airlines to increase excursion prices. Reduced consumer demand brought about by raised prices could result in the withdrawal of services from marginal routes and even the closure of some regional airports. As regards ferry services, studies carried out in 4. 1. 3. relation to Ireland, the UK, Germany and Scandinavia have indicated an estimated 50 000 job losses, 18-20 000 of which would come from operators and supporting industries with a further 5-7 000 lost through effects on the regions and localities. The same source further estimates that as many as 26-27 000 jobs particularly relating to tourism in these countries will be lost. These estimates are based on a foreseen price increase of 30 % on tickets for these services following the loss of revenue from duty-free sales. Such a price increase could see a major drop in demand for these services and, ultimately the axing of between 25 and 30 routes in northern Europe. The estimated dependence of ferry services on revenue from duty-free sales in these countries ranges from approximately 65 % in Finland to 30 % in Ireland. 4. 1. 4. Already, clear examples of the impact of the abolition of the intra-EU duty-free regime on employment in the aviation and maritime sectors are available. According to the European Federation of Transport Unions and various regional representatives, redundancy notices have already been issued to workers on certain ferry routes operating out of Schleswig- Holstein, Denmark, and between Jakobstad and Skellaf- tea, and with effect from April 1998, a certain UK airline has reduced its cabin crew on intra-EU flights in anticipation of the abolition of duty-free sales on these services. In all these cases, the direct reason cited by the companies concerned has been the future abolition of intra-EU duty-free sales. The timing of the proposed abolition of the 4. 1. 5. intra-EU duty-free system represents a double blow for ferry services specifically in light of the obligatory implementation of SOLAS 95 — regulatory standards enforceable after 1999. SOLAS 95 was adopted as a consequence of the Estonia ferry tragedy and has meant that ferry operators have had to invest in new ships or in major upgrades of existing fleet in order to comply with the stringent standards it introduces. 4. 1. 6. Over and above the inevitable loss of jobs in the retailing and transport sectors, the abolition of duty free is also likely to affect certain traditional regional manufacturing industries. For example, the Cognac producing region of France has estimated that at least 3 000 jobs will be lost in the region including direct, indirect and induced employment whereas the Scotch whisky industry is expecting falls in sales of 201 million ECU in 1999 with the resulting loss of 1 000 jobs mainly in peripheral areas of Scotland where unemployment is already unacceptably high. 4. 1. 7. Although all the abovementioned estimates must be regarded with some caution given that they are derived from a number of independent reports based on varying methodologies and a generalisation of local conditions, even the possibility of the abolition of the intra-EU duty-free system giving rise to significant job losses must be viewed with great concern. This concern becomes even more acute when it is generally recognised that job losses resulting from the measure will, inevitably, have the most negative effect on peripheral regional economies. 5. Tourism Should the abolition of intra-EU duty free give 5. 1. rise to increased travel costs, within the EU, cost C 373/38 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 2. 12. 98 conscious travellers may well choose non-EU desti- nations in order to minimise travel costs. Countries most likely to benefit from this shift would include North African resorts at the expense of Spain, Portugal and Italy and Cyprus and Turkey at the expense of Greece. 6. Conclusions 6. 1. The COR urges the Commission, Council, Euro- pean Parliament and Member States to step up the process of completion of the single market, in order to remove all market distortions. 6. 2. However, the COR is of the opinion that the abolition of duty-free sales on 30 June 1999 will result in severe consequences for regional employment, local transport infrastructures, access costs and the EU tour- ism sector. The COR supports the drafting by the Com- 6. 3. mission of a comprehensive report on the impact of the abolition of the current regime. particularly in relation to the impact on the peripheral regions of the EU; the COR is not convinced that even if such measures were in keeping with EU competition rules, that they provide the best solution. 6. 4. In view of the abovementioned negative conse- quences of the abolition of the intra-EU duty free system prior to the envisaged EU-wide harmonised system of VAT and excise duties, and the presentation of an extensive independent report on socio-economic conse- quences from the Commission the COR does not consider that the planned abolition is appropriate at this time. 6. 5. The COR is in favour of a continued extension of the current regime for a further period of five years, during which time it recommends the setting-up of a Commission task force comprising representatives of the various interests groupings (economic, social and other actors) along with national, regional and local authority representatives. This task force will have as its remit, a thorough investigation of the consequences of the abolition of the current intra-EU duty-free regime with a view to coming forward with concrete proposals for a successor system. 6. 3. 1. Pending the presentation by the Commission of its working document on the Community funds and national subsidies which may be made available to relieve any difficulties arising from duty-free abolition, The COR recommends that its President not only forwards this Opinion to the Council, the Commission but also to the European Parliament, and the Govern- ments of the Member States. Brussels, 17 September 1998. The President of the Committee of the Regions Manfred DAMMEYER

text: C 135/116 Journal officiel des Communautés européennes FR 14. 5. 1999 Réponse donnée par M. Pinheiro au nom de la Commission (28 septembre 1998) L’utilisation des crédits budgétaires des lignes non encore pourvues de base légale est soumise aux dispositions strictes du règlement financier qui régit l’ensemble du budget. Cela a été le cas également pour les projets relevés par l’Honorable Parlementaire. La Commission ne peut dès lors partager les vues exprimées selon lesquelles elle se serait «affranchie d’un certain nombre de règles». La ligne budgétaire finance des projets qui lui sont soumis par les partenaires (organisations non gouvernementales, associations ou organisations internationales). Ceux-ci sont examinés et instruits et s’ils répondent aux critères prévus pour l’utilisation de la ligne, ils font l’objet d’une décision formelle de la part de la Commission en application des dispositions financières en vigueur. La Commission rappelle en outre, comme elle l’a souligné dans sa réponse à la question 2187/98, que les deux projets cités spécifiquement faisaient partie d’un programme d’appui d’ensemble cohérent au processus électoral qui a été mis en place suite à la demande de l’ordonnateur national, conformément à la résolution du Parlement sur le Togo de novembre 1997 et sur base des requêtes des différents partenaires. La Commission estime avoir financé des actions utiles au bon déroulement des élections au Togo mises en œuvre par des partenaires qui ont travaillé avec efficacité et esprit d’indépendance. (1999/C 135/138) QUESTION ÉCRITE E-2790/98 posée par Graham Watson (ELDR) à la Commission (17 septembre 1998) Objet: Ligues européennes Quelles initiatives la Commission entend-elle prendre pour encourager la création de ligues européennes dans différents sports? Réponse donnée par M. Oreja au nom de la Commission (16 novembre 1998) La plupart des grandes fédérations sportives organisent des compétitions européennes depuis longtemps. Le football, par exemple, a sa ligue des champions et le basket-ball, sa ligue européenne. Si la question de l’Honorable Parlementaire se réfère à la création de ligues européennes en dehors des fédérations, la Commission tient à l’informer qu’elle n’envisage aucune action particulière pour encourager de telles mesures. Ce rôle incombe aux organisations sportives. La Commission n’a ni la compétence juridique ni le souhait politique de s’immiscer dans ces questions. Elle souligne néanmoins l’importance de maintenir une véritable solidarité entre le sport d’élite et le sport tel qu’il est pratiqué par le plus grand nombre. En outre, pour autant que les réglementations ou les activités des organisations sportives existantes ou nouvellement créées relèvent du champ d’application des règles de concurrence énoncées par le traité CE, la Commission a le devoir de veiller au respect de ces dernières.
