text: L 290/18 ES Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas 12. 11. 1999 REGLAMENTO (CE) No 2399/1999 DE LA COMISIÓN de 11 de noviembre de 1999 que modifica el Reglamento (CE) no 1370/95 por el que se establecen disposiciones de aplicación del régimen de certificados de exportación en el sector de la carne de porcino LA COMISIÓN DE LAS COMUNIDADES EUROPEAS, Visto el Tratado constitutivo de la Comunidad Europea, Visto el Reglamento (CEE) no 2759/75 del Consejo, de 29 de octubre de 1975, por el que se establece la organización común de mercados en el sector de la carne de porcino (1), cuya última modificación la constituye el Reglamento (CE) no 3290/94 (2), y, en particular, el apartado 2 de su artículo 8, el apartado 12 de su artículo 13 y su artículo 22, Considerando lo siguiente: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) El Reglamento (CE) no 1370/95 de la Comisión (3), cuya última modificación la constituye el Reglamento (CE) no 1719/98 (4), establece las disposiciones de aplicación del régimen de certificados de exportación en el sector de la carne de porcino. Las actuales disposiciones sobre el periodo de validez de los certificados de exportación provocan un incremento artificial de las solicitudes de estos últimos a principios de cada mes, lo que dificulta la gestión semanal del régimen; así pues, resulta oportuno fijar el periodo de validez en días en vez de en meses. Conviene establecer que las medidas específicas que pueda adoptar la Comisión en los casos en que se produzca un incremento anómalo de las solicitudes puedan ajustarse por categoría de producto y por destino. A la luz de la experiencia adquirida, parece oportuno simplificar el procedimiento relativo a los certificados expedidos de forma inmediata contemplados en el artículo 4, de forma que se garantice a los operadores su expedición y validez. No obstante, conviene limitar dichos certificados a las operaciones comerciales a corto plazo a fin de que no se eluda la aplicación del sistema previsto en el artículo 3 del Reglamento (CE) no 1370/ 95. Conviene adaptar las normas relativas a las comunica- ciones entre los Estados miembros y la Comisión a las modificaciones introducidas en el régimen de certifi- cados expedidos de forma inmediata. Las medidas previstas en el presente Reglamento se ajustan al dictamen del Comité de gestión de la carne de porcino, HA ADOPTADO EL PRESENTE REGLAMENTO: Artículo 1 El Reglamento (CE) no 1370/95 se modificará como sigue: 1) El apartado 1 del artículo 2 se sustituirá por el texto siguiente: (1) DO L 282 de 1. 11. 1975, p. 1.

Los certificados de exportación serán válidos por un periodo de noventa días a partir de su fecha de expedición efectiva en el sentido del apartado 2 del artículo 21 del Reglamento (CEE) no 3719/88. ». 2) El último párrafo del apartado 4 del artículo 3 se sustituirá por el texto siguiente: «Estas medidas podrán ajustarse por categoría de producto y por destino. ». 3) El artículo 4 se sustituirá por el texto siguiente: «Artículo 4 A petición del operador, las solicitudes de certificados para cantidades de producto inferiores o iguales a 25 toneladas no estarán sujetas a las posibles medidas específicas previstas en el apartado 4 del artículo 3, y los certificados solicitados se expedirán de forma inmediata. En ese caso, no obstante lo dispuesto en el apartado 1 del artículo 2, el periodo de validez de los certificados estará limitado a cinco días hábiles a partir de la fecha de su expedición efectiva en el sentido del apartado 2 del artículo 21 del Reglamento (CEE) no 3719/88 y las solicitudes y certificados incluirán en su casilla 20 la siguiente mención: — Certificado válido durante cinco días hábiles y no utili- zable para la aplicación del artículo 5 del Reglamento (CEE) no 565/80. — Licens, der er gyldig i fem arbejdsdage, og som ikke kan benyttes til at anvende artikel 5 i forordning (EØF) nr. 565/80. — Fünf Werktage gültige und für die Anwendung von Artikel 5 der Verordnung (EWG) Nr. 565/80 nicht verwendbare Lizenz. — Πιστοποιητικό που ισχύει για πέντε εργάσιµες ηµέρες και δεν χρησιµοποιείται για την εφαρµογή του άρθρου 5 του κανονισµού (ΕΟΚ) αριθ. 565/80. — Licence valid for five working days and not useable for application of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80. — Certificat valable cinq jours ouvrables et non utilisable pour l'application de l'article 5 du règlement (CEE) no 565/80. — Titolo valido cinque giorni lavorativi e non utilizzabile ai fini dell'applicazione dell'articolo 5 del regolamento (CEE) n. 565/80. — Certificaat met een geldigheidsduur van vĳf werkdagen en niet te gebruiken voor de toepassing van artikel 5 van Verordening (EEG) nr. 565/80. — Certificado de exportação válido durante cinco dias úteis, não utilizável para a aplicação do artigo 5. o do Regulamento (CEE) n. o 565/80. 12. 11. 1999 ES Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas L 290/19 — Todistus on voimassa viisi arkipäivää eikä sitä voi käyttää sovellettaessa asetuksen (ETY) N:o 565/80 5 artiklaa. — Licensen är giltig fem arbetsdagar men gäller inte vid tillämpning av artikel 5 i förordning (EEG) nr 565/80.

text: 28. 1. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 25/1 I (Information) COUNCIL COMMON POSITION (EC) No 6/2000 adopted by the Council on 11 November 1999 with a view to adopting Regulation (EC) No. /2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of. on a revised Community eco-label award scheme (2000/C 25/01) THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Com- munity and in particular Article 175(1) thereof, (2) Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 880/92 provides that within five years from its entry into force the Commission should review the scheme in the light of the experience gained during its operation and should propose any appropriate amendments to the Regulation; Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2), After consulting the Committee of the Regions, Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3), Whereas: (1) the aims of Council Regulation (EEC) No 880/92 of 23 March 1992 on a Community eco-label award scheme (4) were to establish a voluntary Community eco-label scheme intended to promote products with a reduced environmental impact during their entire life cycle and to provide consumers with accurate, non- deceptive and scientifically-based information on the environmental impact of products; (1) OJ C 114 , 12. 4. 1997, p. 9, and OJ C 64, 6. 3. 1999, p. 14. (2) OJ C 296, 29. 9. 1997, p. 77. (3) Opinion of the European Parliament of 13 May 1998 (OJ C 167, 1. 6. 1998, p. 118), Council common position of 11 November 1999 and Decision of the European Parliament of. (not yet published in the Official Journal). (4) OJ L 99, 11. 4. 1992, p. 1. (3) (4) (5) (6) the experience gained during the implementation of the Regulation has shown the need to amend the scheme in order to increase its effectiveness, improve its planning and streamline its operation; the basic aims for a voluntary and selective Community eco-label award scheme are still valid; in particular such an award scheme should provide guidance to consumers on products with a potential for reducing environmental impact when viewed through its entire life cycle, and should provide information on the environmental charac- teristics of labelled products; for the acceptance by the general public of the Com- munity eco-label award system it is essential that environ- mental NGO’s and consumer organisations play an important role in the development and setting of criteria for Community eco-labels; it is necessary to explain to consumers that the eco-label represents those products which have the potential to reduce certain negative environmental impacts, as compared with other products in the same product group, without prejudice to regulatory requirements applicable to products at a Community or at a national level; C 25/2 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 1. 2000 (7) (8) the scope of the scheme should include products and environmental factors which are of interest from the point of view both of the internal market and of the environment; for the purpose of this Regulation, products should also include services; the procedural and methodological approach for setting eco-label criteria should be updated in the light of scientific and technical progress and of the experience gained in this area, to ensure consistency with relevant internationally recognised standards which are evolving in this area; (9) the principles for establishing the selectivity level of the eco-label should be clarified, in order to facilitate consistent and effective implementation of the Scheme; (10) the eco-label should include simple, accurate, non- deceptive and scientifically based information on the key environmental aspects which are considered in the award in order to enable consumers to make of the label, informed choices; (11) in the various stages of the award of an eco-label, efforts must be made to ensure the efficient use of resources and a high level of environmental protection; (12) it is necessary to provide more information on the label about the reasons for the award in order to assist consumers in understanding the significance of the award; (13) the eco-label scheme should in the long term be mainly self-financing; financial contributions from the Member States should not increase; (14) it is necessary to assign the task of contributing to setting and reviewing eco-label criteria as well as assessment and verification requirements to an appropriate body, the European Union Eco-Labelling Board (EUEB), in order to achieve an efficient and neutral implementation of the scheme; the EUEB should be composed of the competent bodies already designated by the Member States under Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 880/92, and of a consultation forum which should provide for a balanced participation of all relevant interested parties; schemes such as those established by Council Directive 92/75/EEC of 22 September 1992 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by household appliances (1) (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (2); by Council Regulation and (16) while existing as well as new eco-label schemes in the Member States may continue to exist, provision should be made to ensure coordination between the Community eco-label and other eco-label schemes in the Community, in order to promote the common objectives of sustainable consumption; (17) it is necessary to guarantee transparency in the implemen- tation of the scheme and to ensure consistency with relevant international standards in order to facilitate access to, and participation in, the scheme by manufac- turers and exporters of countries outside the Community; (18) since the measures necessary for implementing this Regulation are measures of a general scope within the meaning of Article 2 of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred to the Com- mission (3), such measures should be adopted in accord- ance with the regulatory procedure provided for in Article 5 of that Decision; (19) Regulation (EEC) No 880/92 should be replaced by this Regulation in order to introduce in the most effective way the necessary revised provisions for the reasons mentioned above, while appropriate transitional pro- visions ensure continuity and smooth transition between the two Regulations, HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Objectives and Principles 1. The objective of the Community eco-label award scheme (hereinafter referred to as the ‘scheme’) is to promote products which have the potential to reduce negative environmental impacts, as compared with the other products in the same product group, thus contributing to the efficient use of resources and a high level of environmental protection. This objective shall be pursued through the provision of guidance and accurate, non-deceptive and scientifically based infor- mation to consumers on such products. (15) it is necessary to ensure that the Community eco-label award scheme is consistent and coordinated with the priorities of the Community environmental policy and with other Community labelling or quality-certification (1) OJ L 297, 13. 10. 1992, p. 16. (2) OJ L 198, 22. 7. 1991, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1804/1999 (OJ L 222, 24. 8. 1999, p. 1). (3) OJ L 184, 17. 7. 1999, p. 23. 28. 1. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 25/3 For the purpose of this Regulation: — the term ‘product’ is taken to include any goods or services, — the term ‘consumer’ is taken to include professional purchasers. 2. The environmental impacts shall be identified on the basis of examination of the interactions of products with the environment, including the use of energy and natural resources, during the life cycle of the product. 3. Participation in the scheme shall be without prejudice to environmental or other regulatory requirements of Com- munity or national law applicable to the various life stages of goods, and where appropriate to a service. The implementation of the scheme shall comply with 4. the provisions of the Treaties, including the precautionary principle, with the instruments adopted pursuant thereto and the Community environmental policy, as specified in the Community programme of policy and action in relation to the environment and sustainable development fifth action programme established by the Resolution of 1 February 1993 (1), and shall be coordinated with other labelling or quality certification arrangements as well as schemes such in particular, the Community energy labelling scheme as, established by Directive 92/75/EEC and the organic agriculture scheme established by Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91. Article 2 Scope 1. The Community eco-label may be awarded to products available in the Community which comply with the essential environmental requirements referred to in Article 3 and the eco-label criteria referred to in Article 4. The eco-label criteria shall be set out by product group. ‘Product group’ means any goods or services which serve similar purposes and are equivalent in terms of use and consumer perception. In order to be included in this scheme, a product group 2. must fulfil the following conditions: (a) it shall represent a significant volume of sales and trade in the internal marked; (b) it shall involve, at one or more stages of the product’s life, a significant environmental impact on a global or regional scale and/or of a general nature; (1) OJ C 138, 17. 5. 1993, p. 1. (c) it shall present a significant potential for effecting environ- mental improvements through consumer choice as well as an incentive to manufacturers or service providers to seek a competitive advantage by offering products which qualify for the eco-label; and (d) a significant part of its sales volume shall be sold for final consumption or use. 3. A product group may be subdivided into sub-groups, with a corresponding adaptation of eco-label criteria, when this is required by the characteristics of the products and with a view to ensuring the optimal potential of the eco-label for effecting environmental improvements. The eco-label criteria related to the various sub-groups of a single product group, covered by the same criteria document, published in accordance with Article 6(5), shall become appli- cable at the same time. 4. The eco-label may not be awarded to substances or toxic, dangerous to preparations classified as very toxic, the environment, carcinogenic, toxic for reproduction, or mutagenic in accordance with Council Directive 67/548/ EEC (2) or Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) nor to goods manufactured by processes which are likely to significantly harm man and/or the environ- ment, or in their normal application could be harmful to the consumer. 5. This Regulation shall not apply to food, drink, pharma- ceuticals nor to medical devices as defined by Council Directive 93/42/EEC (4), which devices are intended only for professional use or to be prescribed or supervised by medical professionals. Article 3 Environmental requirements The eco-label may be awarded to a product possessing 1. characteristics which enable it to contribute significantly to improvements in relation to key environmental aspects, which are linked to the objectives and principles set out in Article 1. These environmental aspects shall be identified in the light of the indicative assessment matrix in Annex I and shall meet the methodological requirements set out in Annex II.

The following provisions shall apply: (a) in evaluating the comparative improvements, consider- ation shall be given to the net environmental balance between the environmental benefits and burdens, including health and safety aspects, associated with the adaptations throughout the various life stages of the products being considered. The evaluation shall also take into account the possible environmental benefits related to the utilisation of the products considered; (b) the key environmental aspects shall be determined by identifying the categories of environmental impact where the product under examination provides the most signifi- cant contribution from a life cycle perspective, and among such aspects the ones for which a significant potential for improvement exists; (c) the preproduction stage of the life cycle of goods includes extraction or the production and processing of raw material and energy production. Those aspects shall be taken into account, as far as is technically feasible. Article 4 Eco-label criteria and assessment and verification require- ments 1. Specific eco-label criteria shall be established according to product groups. These criteria will set out the requirements for each of the key environmental aspects mentioned in Article 3, which a product must fulfil in order to be considered for the award of an eco-label, including requirements relating to the product’s fitness in meeting the needs of the consumers. The criteria shall seek to ensure a selectivity basis on the 2. following principles: (a) the product’s prospects of market penetration in the Community shall, during the period of validity of the criteria, be sufficient to effect environmental improvements through consumer choice; (b) the selectivity of the criteria shall take into account the technical and economic feasibility of adaptations needed to comply with them within a reasonable period of time; 3. Requirements for assessing the compliance of specific products with the eco-label criteria and for verifying the referred to in conditions for Article 9(1), shall be established for each product group together with the eco-label criteria. the eco-label the use of The period of validity of the criteria, and the assessment 4. and verification requirements, shall be specified within each set of eco-label criteria for each product group. The review of the eco-label criteria as well as of the assessment and verification requirements related to the criteria shall take place in due time before the end of the period of validity of the criteria specified for each product group and shall result in a proposal for prolongation, withdrawal or revision. Article 5 Working plan In accordance with the objectives and principles set out in Article 1, a Communicty eco-label working plan shall be established by the Commission within one year from the entry into force of this Regulation, following prior consultation of the European Union Eco-Labelling Board, hereafter referred to as the ‘EUEB’, provided for in Article 13, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17. The working plan shall include a strategy for the development of the scheme, which should set out for the subsequent three years: — objectives for the environmental improvement and the market penetration which the scheme will seek to achieve, — a non-exhaustive list of product groups which will be considered as priorities for Community action, — plans for coordination and cooperation between the scheme and other eco-label award schemes in Member States. the The working plan shall also provide measures for implementation of the strategy and shall include the planned financing of the scheme. It shall also outline the services to which the scheme is not applicable, taking into account Regulation (EC) No. /1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council allowing voluntary participation by organisations eco- management and audit system (EMAS) (1) in a Community The working plan shall be reviewed periodically. (c) the selectivity of the criteria shall be determined with a view to achieving the maximum potential for environmental improvement.

The specific ecological criteria for each product group and their respective periods of validity shall be established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 follow- ing consultation of the EUEB. 2. The Commission shall begin the procedure on its own initiative or at the request of the EUEB. It shall give mandates to the EUEB to develop and periodically review the eco-label criteria as well as the assessment and verification requirements related to those criteria, applying to the product groups coming within the scope of this Regulation. A deadline for completion of work shall be provided in the mandate. 1. Applications for the eco-label may be submitted by traders and manufacturers, retailers. The two last named may submit applications only in respect of products placed on the market under their own brand names. service providers, importers, 2.

No new application will be required for modifications in the characteristics of products which do not affect compliance with the criteria. The competent bodies shall however be informed about significant modifications. The application shall be presented to a competent body 3. in accordance with the following: The Commission shall, when drafting the mandate, take due account of: (a) where a product originates in a single Member State, the application shall be presented to the competent body of that Member State; — the working plan laid down in Article 5, — the methodological requirements referred to in Annex II. 3. On the basis of the mandate the EUEB shall draft the eco-label criteria in respect of the product group and the assessment and verification requirements related to those criteria, as outlined in Article 4 and Annex IV, by taking into account the results of feasibility and market studies, life cycle considerations and the improvement analysis referred to in Annex II. 4. The Commission shall be informed of the draft criteria referred to in paragraph 3 and shall decide whether the mandate: (b) where a product originates in the same form in several Member States, the application may be presented to a competent body in one those Member States.

To facilitate this, a standard contract shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17. 2. The eco-label may not be used, and references to the eco-label in advertising may not be made, until a label has been awarded and then only in relation to the specific product for which it has been awarded. Any false or misleading advertising or the use of any label or logo which may lead to confusion with the Community eco-label as introduced by this Regulation is prohibited. Article 10 Promotion of the eco-label Member States and the the Commission shall, in cooperation with the members of the EUEB, promote the use of the Community eco-label by awareness-raising actions and infor- mation campaigns for consumers, producers, traders, retailers and the general public, thus supporting the development of the scheme. In order to encourage the use of eco-labelled products the Commission and other institutions of the Community, as well as other public authorities at national level should, without prejudice to Community law, set an example when specifying their requirements for products. Article 11 Other eco-label schemes in the Member States The Commission and the Member States shall act in order to ensure the necessary coordination between this Community scheme and national schemes in the Member States, in particular, in the selection of product groups as well as in the development and revision of criteria at Community and national level. For this purpose cooperation and coordination measures shall be established according to the procedure laid down in Article 17, including, inter alia, those envisaged in the working plan produced in accordance with Article 5. In this respect, existing as well as new eco-label schemes in the Member States may continue to co exist with the scheme. Article 12 Costs and fees Every application for the award of an eco-label shall be subject to payment of a fee relating to the costs of processing the application. The use of the eco-label shall entail payment of an annual fee by the applicant. (1) OJ L 162, 13. 7. 1995, p. 37. (*) Five years after the entry into force of this Regulation.

Feasibility and market study The feasibility and market study will consider the various types of product groups in question on the Community market, the quantities produced or provided, imported and sold, and the structure of the market in the Member States. Internal and external trade will also be considered. Consumer perception, functional differences between types of products and the need for identifying subgroups will be assessed. Life cycle considerations (LCC) Key environmental aspects for which criteria will need to be developed will defined through the use of life cycle considerations, and will be performed in accordance with internationally recognised methods and standards. The principles laid down in EN ISO 14040 and ISO 14024 will be duly taken into account, where appropriate. Improvement analysis The improvement considerations will take into account in particular the following aspects: — the theoretical potential for environmental improvement in conjunction with possible changes induced in the market structures. This will be based on the improvement assessment from life cycle considerations, — the technical, industrial and economic feasibility and market modifications, — consumer attitudes, perceptions and preferences, which may influence the effectiveness of the eco-label. Proposal of the criteria The final ecological criteria proposal will take into account the relevant environmental aspects related to the product group. 28. 1. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 25/11 ANNEX III DESCRIPTION OF THE ECO-LABEL Shape of the eco-label The eco-label will be awarded to products which comply with the criteria, for all the selected key environmental aspects. It will include information for consumers in accordance with Article 8 and to the following scheme. The label consists of two parts: box 1 and box 2, as follows: EUROPEAN UNION ECO-LABEL * * * Awarded to goods or services which meet the environmental requirements of the EU eco-labelling scheme Licence registration number: Box 1 Box 2 Box 2 contains information about the reasons for the award of the eco-label. This information must relate to at least one and not more than three environmental impacts. The information will be in the form of a brief description in words. This is an example: * * * low air pollution energy efficient reduced toxicity C 25/12 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 1. 2000 Box 1 and box 2 will be used together where this is practical but, where consideration of space is an important factor with regard to small goods, box 2 may be omitted on some applications, provided that the full label is used in other applications relating to the same good. For example, box 1 may be used on its own on the product itself if the full label appears elsewhere on the packaging, information leaflets or other point-of-sale material. 28. 1. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 25/13 ANNEX IV PROCEDURAL PRINCIPLES FOR ESTABLISHING ECO-LABEL CRITERIA For the development of eco-label criteria as well as the assessment and verification requirements related to those criteria, the following principles will apply: 1. Interested parties involvement (a) A specific ad hoc working group involving the interested parties referred to in Article 15 and the competent bodies referred to in Article 14 will be established within the EUEB for the development of eco-label criteria for each product group. (b) Interested parties will be involved in the process of identifying and selecting key environmental aspects, and especially in the following phases: (i) feasibility and market study; (ii) life cycle considerations; (iii) improvement analysis; (iv) proposal of the criteria. All reasonable efforts will be made to achieve a consensus throughout the process, while aiming at high levels of environmental protection. A working paper summarising the main findings of each phase will be issued and distributed in good time to the participants before the meeting of the ad hoc working group. 2. Open consultation and transparency (a) A final report containing the main results will be issued and published. Interim documents reflecting the results of the different stages of work will be made available to those interested and comments on them will be considered. (b) An open consultation on the content of the report will be carried out. A period of at least 60 days for the submission of comments on the draft criteria will be allowed before submission of the criteria to the committee, according to the procedure established by Article 17. Any observations received will be taken into consideration. On request, information on the follow-up to the comments will be provided. (c) The report will include an executive summary and Annexes with detailed inventory computations. 3. Confidentiality The protection of confidential information provided by individuals, public organisations, private companies, interest groups, interested parties or other sources will be ensured. C 25/14 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 1. 2000 ANNEX V FEES 1. Application fees An application for the award of an eco-label will be subject to payment of a fee relating to the costs of processing the application. A minimum fee will be fixed. In the case of SMEs( 1) and also product manufacturers as well as service providers of developing countries the application fee should be reduced. 2. Annual fees Each applicant who has been awarded an eco-label will pay an annual fee for the use of the label to the competent body which has awarded the label. The period covered by the fee will begin with the date of the award of the eco-label to the applicant. The annual fee will be calculated in relation to the annual volume of sales within the Community of the product awarded the eco-label. A minimum fee will be fixed. In the case of SMEs and also product manufacturers as well as service providers of developing countries, the annual fees should be reduced. Figures for the annual sales volume should be based on ex-factory prices. 3. Costs for testing and verification Neither the application fee nor the annual fee will include any cost towards testing and verification which may be necessary for products which are the subject of applications. Applicants will meet the cost of such testing and verification themselves.

INTRODUCTION 1. On 19 March 1997, the Commission forwarded to the Council a proposal for a Council Regulation on a revised Community eco-label award scheme, based on Article 130s(1) of the Treaty (Amsterdam Treaty: Article 175). 2. The European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee delivered their opinions on 13 May 1998 and on 10 July 1997 respectively. 3. The Committee of the Regions decided on 28 June 1999 not to give an opinion. 4. On 18 January 1999, the Commission forwarded an amended proposal to Council. 5. On 24 June 1999, the Council reached political agreement on a common position. 6. On 11 November 1999, the Council adopted its common position in accordance with Article 251 of the Treaty (former 189c). II. OBJECTIVE The Regulation is intended to replace Council Regulation (EEC) No 880/92 which sets a framework for the award of an eco-label which functions on a voluntary basis and is dependent on the market. The revision of the existing scheme was foreseen five years after the Regulation’s entry into force and the present proposal aims at improving the scheme’s approach, methodology and working procedures by taking into account experiences gained. III. ANALYSIS OF THE COMMON POSITION A. Amended Commission proposal The Council adopted wholly or in part 23 amendments proposed by the European Parliament. Several of these amendments proposed including ‘services’ in the eco-label award scheme. The Council agreed in principle but has chosen to define ‘products’ as ‘goods and services’. The Council has given support to the European Parliament amendment to have a sole, upgraded eco-label logo as it believes that a graded eco-label could cause confusion rather than support consumers’ interest. B. Main changes introduced by Council 1. Preamble The provision that the eco-labelling scheme should in the long term be mainly self-financing was introduced as a recital. C 25/16 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 1. 2000 2. Eco-label criteria and assessment and verification requirements (Article 4) The Council considered that the initial Commission proposal required additional precision as far as the setting of criteria is concerned, as well as how the review of the eco-label criteria shall be carried out. It has been stressed that the criteria will set out the requirements for each key environmental aspect, including requirements relating to the products’ fitness in meeting the needs of the consumers. This passage has been carefully worded so that other aspects of Community law are respected. As far as review and assessment is concerned, the Council has specified that this shall be done in due time before the end of the validity period of the specified criteria and shall result in a proposal for prolongation, withdrawal or revision. 3. The European Union Eco-labelling Board and the consultation forum (Articles 13 and 15) The Council decided to clarify the role of the European Union Eco-labelling Board (EUEB), responsible in particular for contributing to the setting and review of the eco-label criteria as well as the assessment and compliance verification requirements. The Council has furthermore introduced the concept of a consultation forum to ensure the balanced participation of all interested parties. This body shall consist of representatives from consumer organisations, industry, service suppliers, trade unions, environmental protection groups, handcrafts and their business organisations, retailers and importers. The rules of procedure shall be established by the Commission. 4. Working plan (Article 5) The Council found it necessary that a working plan be established by the Commission. This plan shall include a three-year strategy for the development of the eco-labelling scheme underlining the objectives for environmental improvement and the market penetration which the scheme will seek to achieve, the priorities for Community action through the establishment of a non-exhaustive list of product groups, as well as the need to coordinate the scheme with national eco-labelling systems in Member States to ensure the best possible cooperation between the Community eco-label and national schemes. 5. Infringements (Article 18) The absence in the original Commission proposal of precise legal or administrative measures to be taken in case a Member State does not fulfil its obligations in accordance with the provisions in the Regulation could be detrimental for the development of the EU eco-label. The Council thus decided to introduce an Article where provisions are made for appropriate legal or administrative measures in case of non-compliance with the Regulation

Her er de krav fastlagt, som radiosendere skal imłdekomme for at blive markedsfłrt og kunne s(cid:230)ttes i drift. Det er fastlagt, at medlemsstaterne kan begr(cid:230)nse driften af hensyn til sundheden, f. eks. ved at p(cid:229)l(cid:230)gge visse minimumsafstande mellem senderen og befolkningen. Den 8. juni 1999 vedtog R(cid:229)det henstilling 1999/519/EF efter forslag fra Kommissionen om begr(cid:230)nsningen af befolkningens eksponering for elektromagnetiske felter (2). I denne henstilling tages der hensyn til den videnskabeligt begrundede udtalelse om konstaterede virkninger for menneskers sundhed som fłlge af eksponering for elektromagnetiske felter fra organisationen, International commission of non-ionizing radiation protection, som er blevet bakket op af Den Videnskabelige StyringskomitØ i Kommissionen. I den forbindelse skal det bem(cid:230)rkes, at den omfattende forskning, der er blevet udfłrt i det seneste ti(cid:229)r i Europa med den koordinerede aktion for COST 244 (cid:129) og 244a projekterne, ikke har p(cid:229)vist nogen reproducerbare skadelige virkninger for helbredet i forbindelse med radiofrekvensmissionsbłlger, der er typiske for mobiltelefoner og sendemaster. Da mobiltelefoner bruges i udstrakt grad, er det klart, at hvis der er ułnskede bivirkninger for helbredet, kunne der v(cid:230)re en virkning p(cid:229) lang sigt. Derfor błr forskningen fortsat m(cid:229)le s(cid:229)danne virkninger, og resultaterne af den nuv(cid:230)rende og den fremtidige forskning inden for dette omr(cid:229)de vil blive undersłgt i forbindelse med den procedure for rapporter, som er fastsat i henstillingen. I forbindelse med det femte rammeprogram inden for forskning, teknologisk udvikling og demonstration (3) er der i nłgleaktion 4 »miljł- og sundhed« under programmet om »livskvalitet og forvaltning af bioressourcer« (4) fastlagt en specifik forskning af den elektromagnetiske str(cid:229)lings virkning for helbredet, og at der specielt skal gennemfłres epidemiologiske og bio-medicinske studier til fastl(cid:230)ggelse af eventuelle virkninger i forbindelse med non-ioniserende str(cid:229)ling, is(cid:230)r fra mobiltelefoner og antenner (punkt 2 i arbejdsprogrammerne vedrłrende livskvalitet (5)). I łjeblikket er flere ansłgninger, som er relevante for dette omr(cid:229)de, ved at blive evalueret, hvor de gennemg(cid:229)s med henblik p(cid:229) eventuel stłtte under 1999- budgettet.
