text: 20. 2. 2001 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/127 The basis for the proposal includes an assessment study made by external consultants that can be 2. accessed on the Commission(cid:146)s Internet site. Its conclusions were that the aid and its amount had only a limited impact on availability of milk products in schools and the level of consumption in general. 3. The Commission freely acknowledges that distribution of milk in schools can help achieve nutritional and social objectives. That is in fact why it considers that the aid should not fall exclusively to the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund but be split between it and the Member States. The Commission(cid:146)s proposal confirms the Community(cid:146)s financial commitment to the school milk scheme. (1) OJ C 89, 28. 3. 2000. (2001/C 53 E/161) WRITTEN QUESTION P-1322/00 by Bertel Haarder (ELDR) to the Commission (17 April 2000) Subject: Failure to pay grants promised to B(cid:146)Tselem In April 1998, the Commission decided to support a project devised by B(cid:146)Tselem (The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories) entitled (cid:145)Generating Commitment for Human Rights(cid:146) (project number 98mas15 B7-7050 in the MEDA democracy programme). In 1999, B(cid:146)Tselem was granted a further amount in a project with four other Israeli human rights organisations (project number 1998/281A B7-7050 in the MEDA democracy programme). In response to several MEPs(cid:146) questions concerning B(cid:146)Tselem(cid:146)s 1998 grant, Commissioner Manuel Mar(cid:237)n replied that the contract for the amount would be formally drawn up in early 1999. To date, no contract has been forwarded for either of the two projects. in its capacity as participant Will the Commission say when B(cid:146)Tselem will receive the promised contracts in respect of the grants for their two projects? Will the Commission say why the grants have not yet been paid? Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission (22 May 2000) All 1998 MEDA-Democracy contracts, around 40 projects, including that with B(cid:146)Tselem, have now been signed by the Commission and sent to the respective beneficiaries for counter-signature. In spite of their infortunate delay, these projects including that with B(cid:146)Tselem will mostly go ahead as planned. The 1999 MEDA-Democracy grant to four Israeli non-governmental organizations including B(cid:146)Tselem, was approved by the human rights management committee in October 1999. The contract will be signed by the Commission and sent to the beneficiary as soon as possible. Finally, counter-signature by the beneficiary will mark the start of the project and the disbursement of the allocated funds in compliance with all contractual conditions. (2001/C 53 E/162) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1332/00 by Bart Staes (Verts/ALE) to the Commission (27 April 2000) Subject: Financial aid for sarcoidosis projects Late last year a number of sarcoidosis patients created a website to provide information about their illness. The many contacts soon showed that there is a great need not only for information, but also for an umbrella organisation (a foundation) to represent the interests of patients. This is because many people

On 24 February 2000, the United Kingdom informed the Commission that it intended to make use of Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 and communicated the measures it contemplated taking to preventing any systematic advantage resulting from the use of the euro rather than the pound sterling. That communication was received on 29 February 2000. A new version of the Annex to the abovementioned communication was forwarded on 17 March 2000 and received on 21 March 2000. (3) The measures planned by the United Kingdom can be summarised as follows: — operators will be paid the amounts in euro laid down in Community legislation; operators will bear the full exchange-rate risk arising from subsequent conversion into sterling, — operators must make a standing commitment; they must apply three months in advance to be paid in euro; they are then bound for a minimum of one year; three months advance notice must also be given to withdraw from the arrangement; new payments in euro are then only possible after a one-year waiting period, — operators may opt for payment in euro solely for export refunds or for all the measures listed in the Annex to this Decision. Initially the United Kingdom intends limiting payments in euro to market support measures that are entirely financed by the EAGGF as listed in the Annex to the communication. Article 12(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1410/1999 (3), states that the Commission has two months in which to approve the measures communicated.

text: 20. 4. 2000 DA De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende L 100/7 RÅDETS FORORDNING (EF) Nr. 814/2000 af 17. april 2000 om informationsforanstaltninger vedrørende den fælles landbrugspolitik RÅDET FOR DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION HAR — under henvisning til traktaten om oprettelse af Det Europæiske Fællesskab, særlig artikel 37, under henvisning til forslag fra Kommissionen, (1) under henvisning til udtalelse fra Europa-Parlamentet, (2) og ud fra følgende betragtninger: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Ifølge traktatens artikel 32-38 skal der iværksættes en fælles landbrugspolitik. Ifølge Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1258/1999 af 17. maj 1999 om finansiering af den fælles landbrugspolitik (3) kan EUGFL, Garantisektionen, finansiere foranstaltninger til udbredelse af oplysninger om den fælles landbrugspo- litik. De væsentlige materielle aspekter i den nuværende infor- mationspolitik i forbindelse med den fælles landbrugspo- litik bør opretholdes. Ifølge artikel 22, stk. 1, finansforordningen af 21. i december 1977 vedrørende De Europæiske Fællesska- bers almindelige budget (4) er anvendelsen af bevillinger på budgettet til alle EF-foranstaltninger betinget af forud- gående vedtagelse af en basisretsakt. Under hensyntagen til den interinstitutionelle aftale af 13. oktober 1998 om for og gennemførelsen af budgettet (5) retsgrundlaget gælder dette også de foranstaltninger, der er omhandlet i denne forordning. Den fælles landbrugspolitik bliver ofte ikke forstået og lider af et informationsunderskud, som kun en sammen- hængende, objektiv og global informations- og kommu- nikationsstrategi kan afhjælpe. Det er hensigtsmæssigt at forklare, hvad den fælles land- brugspolitik drejer sig om, og at informere om udvik- lingen i den både over for landbrugerne og andre direkte berørte personer og over for offentligheden såvel i som uden for Fællesskabet. Den rette gennemførelse af den fælles landbrugspolitik afhænger i vid udstrækning af de forklaringer, der gives samtlige berørte aktører, og kræver integration af de informationsforanstaltninger, der betragtes som en del af forvaltningen af denne politik. (1) EFT C 376 E af 28. 12. 1999, s. 40. (2) Udtalelse af 17. marts 2000 (endnu ikke offentliggjort i EFT). (3) EFT L 160 af 26. 6. 1999, s. 103. (4) EFT L 356 af 31. 12. 1977, s. 1. Senest ændret ved forordning (EF, EKSF, Euratom) nr. 2779/98 (EFT L 347 af 23. 12. 1998, s. 3). (5) EFT C 344 af 12. 11. 1998, s. 1. (7) (8) (9) Det bør fastlægges, hvilke prioriterede foranstaltninger Fællesskabet kan støtte. Landbrugernes og landdistrikternes organisationer, og særlig landbrugsorganisationerne og forbruger- og miljø- beskyttelsesforeningerne, er uundværlige, når det gælder udbredelsen af kendskabet til den fælles landbrugspolitik og ligeledes formidling til Kommissionen af de i almin- delighed berørte aktørers og i særdeleshed landbrugernes synspunkter. Da den fælles landbrugspolitik er den første og største af Fællesskabets integrerede politikker, bør den forklares over for offentligheden, og i det øjemed bør de støttebe- rettigede forslagsstillere også omfatte andre personer, der kan tænkes at fremlægge interessante projekter. (10) Kommissionen må have de nødvendige midler til at iværksætte egne informationsforanstaltninger, som den ønsker at gennemføre inden for landbrugsområdet. (11) Det bør undgås, at der finansieres aktiviteter, der kan støttes inden for rammerne af et andet fællesskabspro- gram, men samtidig bør deres komplementaritet med andre fællesskabsinitiativer fremmes. (12) De nødvendige foranstaltninger til gennemførelse af denne forordning bør vedtages i overensstemmelse med Rådets afgørelse 1999/468/EF af 28. juni 1999 om fast- sættelse af de nærmere vilkår for udøvelsen af de gennem- førelsesbeføjelser, der tillægges Kommissionen (6) — UDSTEDT FØLGENDE FORORDNING: Artikel 1 Fællesskabet kan finansiere informationsforanstaltninger vedrø- rende den fælles landbrugspolitik, hvis indhold tager sigte på bl. a. : a) at bidrage til dels at forklare og dels at iværksætte og udvikle denne politik b) at fremme den europæiske landbrugsmodel og forståelsen af den c) at informere landbrugerne og de øvrige aktører i landdistrik- terne d) at oplyse offentligheden om, hvad denne politik drejer sig om, og dens mål. (6) EFT L 184 af 17. 7. 1999, s. 23. L 100/8 DA De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende 20. 4. 2000 Disse foranstaltninger skal bidrage til sammenhængende, objek- tive og globale informationer både inden for og uden for Fællesskabet med henblik på at give et samlet billede af denne politik. Artikel 2 1. De i artikel 1 omhandlede foranstaltninger kan være: a) årlige aktivitetsprogrammer foreslået af bl. a. landbrugsorga- nisationer eller organisationer for udvikling af landdistrik- forbrugerforeninger og miljøbeskyttelsesfor- terne samt eninger b) punktforanstaltninger foreslået af andre personer end de i litra a) omhandlede, herunder offentlige myndigheder i medlemsstaterne, medier og universitetsinstitutioner c) aktiviteter iværksat på Kommissionens initiativ. For de i stk. 1 litra a) og b), omhandlede foranstaltninger 2. udgør den højeste finansieringssats 50 % af de støtteberettigede udgifter. Denne sats kan dog forhøjes til 75 % i særlige tilfælde, der fastlægges i gennemførelsesforordningen. Artikel 5 sammenhæng og komplementaritet Kommissionen sikrer mellem foranstaltningerne til og gennemførelse af denne forordning og Fællesskabets andre foranstaltninger. fællesskabsprojekterne Artikel 6 Kommissionen varetager overvågningen og kontrollen af, at de efter denne forordning finansierede foranstaltninger gennem- føres korrekt og effektivt. De af Kommissionen bemyndigede medarbejdere kan kontrollere disse foranstaltninger på stedet, herunder ved stikprøver. Artikel 7 Kommissionen foretager, når den vurderer det hensigtsmæssigt, en evaluering af de foranstaltninger, der finansieres i medfør af denne forordning. Artikel 8 Den i artikel 1 omhandlede fællesskabsfinansiering kan 3. ikke ydes til: Kommissionen forelægger hvert andet år Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet en rapport om gennemførelsen af denne forordning.

A op(cid:231)ªo escolhida pela empresa reduz consideravelmente o montante da indemniza(cid:231)ªo, enquanto o DL 303, referente (cid:224) directiva europeia, beneficiaria o trabalhador, que invoca esse decreto a justo t(cid:237)tulo, embora sem sucesso. Perante esta situa(cid:231)ªo, pode a Comissªo informar: (cid:129) se considera que a directiva europeia tem prioridade sobre o acordo econ(cid:243)mico de 1989; (cid:129) se a legisla(cid:231)ªo europeia prevalece sobre a regulamenta(cid:231)ªo nacional; (cid:129) e, em caso afirmativo, que medidas pode tomar o trabalhador para que sejam cumpridos os direitos reconhecidos pela directiva? (1) JO L 382 de 31. 12. 1986, p. 17. Resposta dada por Frederik Bolkestein em nome da Comissªo (15 de Junho de 2000) A no(cid:231)ªo de agente comercial, na acep(cid:231)ªo da Directiva 86/653/CEE do Conselho, de 18 de Dezembro de 1986, relativa (cid:224) coordena(cid:231)ªo do direito dos Estados-membros sobre os agentes comerciais, Ø definida no no 2 do artigo 1o como «pessoa que, como intermediÆrio independente, Ø encarregada a t(cid:237)tulo permanente, quer de negociar a venda ou a compra de mercadorias para uma outra pessoa, adiante designada»comi- tente«, quer de negociar e concluir tais opera(cid:231)ıes em nome e por conta do comitente». Esta defini(cid:231)ªo de agente comercial exclui do seu (cid:226)mbito de aplica(cid:231)ªo alguns tipos de intermediÆrios comerciais e, em particular, os representantes comerciais, que nªo actuam como intermediÆrios indepen- dentes mas como trabalhadores assalariados. (2001/C 46 E/198) PERGUNTA ESCRITA P-1324/00 apresentada por Astrid Thors (ELDR) (cid:224) Comissªo (17 de Abril de 2000) Objecto: Ajuda psicol(cid:243)gica em caso de acidentes graves ou catÆstrofes naturais Nos œltimos anos registaram-se na Europa diversos acidentes e catÆstrofes naturais de grande amplitude: sismos, avalanches, derrocadas, inunda(cid:231)ıes, desastres ferroviÆrios, naufrÆgios, acidentes em minas, etc. Estas catÆstrofes, para alØm de um grande nœmero de mortos e feridos, provocaram sequelas f(cid:237)sicas e danos numa grande parte das v(cid:237)timas. As pessoas v(cid:237)timas de uma experiŒncia traumatizante necessitam sem demora de um apoio psicol(cid:243)gico. Este apoio, se ocorrer logo nos dias imediatos, melhora consideravelmente as possibilidades de recupera- (cid:231)ªo. 13. 2. 2001 PT Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias C 46 E/171 Muitos pa(cid:237)ses europeus criaram organiza(cid:231)ıes para a ajuda psicol(cid:243)gica a v(cid:237)timas que dela care(cid:231)am. Estas organiza(cid:231)ıes estªo reunidas na Federa(cid:231)ªo Europeia das Associa(cid:231)ıes de Psic(cid:243)logos Profissionais (EFPPA (cid:129) European Federation of Professional Psychologists Association), que conta com membros de 30 pa(cid:237)ses.

Resposta dada por David Byrne em nome da Comissªo (16 de Junho de 2000) No (cid:226)mbito do programa de ac(cid:231)ªo comunitÆria no dom(cid:237)nio da protec(cid:231)ªo civil para 1998 e 1999 (Decisªo 98/22/CE do Conselho, de 19 de Dezembro de 1997 (1)), a Comissªo financiou, no contexto do projecto principal relativo (cid:224) medicina em situa(cid:231)ıes de catÆstrofe, as seguintes ac(cid:231)ıes no dom(cid:237)nio da ajuda psicossocial em caso de catÆstrofe: atelier de autoforma(cid:231)ªo sobre a prepara(cid:231)ªo dos responsÆveis e dos intervenientes da protec(cid:231)ªo civil para fazer face (cid:224) dimensªo psicossocial das catÆstrofes; vÆrios ateliers sobre a gestªo do acompanhamento psicossocial em caso de situa(cid:231)ıes colectivas de emergŒncia; um atelier sobre a ajuda psicossocial em caso de crise.

(cid:201) assim que, no (cid:226)mbito do programa de ac(cid:231)ªo comunitÆria no dom(cid:237)nio da protec(cid:231)ªo civil para 2000-2004 (Decisªo 1999/847/CE do Conselho, de 9 de Dezembro de 1999 (2)), a BØlgica prop(cid:244)s um projecto no dom(cid:237)nio da gestªo da ajuda psicossocial em caso de catÆstrofe. O projecto visa a cria(cid:231)ªo de um guia metodol(cid:243)gico, de indicadores de acompanhamento e de um sistema de treino para os responsÆveis, abrangendo o conjunto da Comunidade. No dom(cid:237)nio da saœde pœblica, adoptou-se um programa de ac(cid:231)ªo comunitÆria em matØria de preven(cid:231)ªo de lesıes (Decisªo no 372/1999/CE do Parlamento Europeu e do Conselho, de 8 de Fevereiro de 1999 (3)). O seu principal objectivo Ø contribuir para as actividades de saœde pœblica tendentes a reduzir a incidŒncia das lesıes promovendo o acompanhamento epidemiol(cid:243)gico das lesıes e a troca de informa(cid:231)ıes sobre a utiliza(cid:231)ªo destes dados para contribuir para a defini(cid:231)ªo de prioridades bem como das melhores estratØgias de preven(cid:231)ªo.

text: C 46 E/170 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 13. 2. 2001 (2001/C 46 E/197) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1315/00 by Cristiana Muscardini (UEN) and Gianfranco Fini (UEN) to the Commission Subject: Implementation of Directive 86/653/EEC in Italy (27 April 2000) A company has awarded a severance payment to an employee (sales representative) pursuant to an economic agreement of 25 July 1989 rather than Legislative Decree No 303 of 10 September 1991, based on Directive 86/653/EEC (1) on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents, in accordance with Article 15 of Law No 428 of 29 December 1990. The company(cid:146)s decision considerably reduces the amount of the severance payment. The application of LD No 303, on the other hand, which is based on the European directive, would work to the advantage of the worker who, quite rightly, is invoking it, so far without success. Can the Commission therefore state: (cid:129) whether the European directive should take priority over the 1989 economic agreement? (cid:129) whether European legislation takes precedence over national legislation? (cid:129) if so, what action can the worker take to exercise his rights as recognised by the directive? (1) OJ L 382, 31. 12. 1986, p. 17. Answer by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission (15 June 2000) The meaning of commercial agent, for the purposes of Council Directive 86/653/EE on the coordination of the laws of the Member States relating to self-employed commercial agents, is defined in Article 1 (2) of the directive as (cid:145)a self-employed intermediary who has continuing authority to negotiate the sale or the purchase of goods on behalf of another person, hereinafter called the (cid:147)principal(cid:148), or to negotiate and conclude such transactions on behalf of and in the name of that principal(cid:146). The definition of commercial agent as given in the directive excludes certain types of commercial intermediary, especially sales representatives, who do not work as self-employed intermediaries but as paid employees of an enterprise. (2001/C 46 E/198) WRITTEN QUESTION P-1324/00 by Astrid Thors (ELDR) to the Commission (17 April 2000) Subject: Psychological support in the event of major accidents and natural disasters Several serious accidents and natural disasters have occurred in Europe in recent years (cid:129) earthquakes, avalanches, landslides, floods, train accidents, accidents at sea, mining disasters, etc. Apart from causing countless deaths and physical injuries, these disasters have also inflicted mental suffering and trauma on a great many people. There is a crucial need for psychological support for individuals who have experienced traumatic events. Psychological support during the first few days significantly improves the chances of recovery. 13. 2. 2001 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 46 E/171 Many European countries have set up organisations to help care for victims who are in need of psychological help. These organisations come together in the EFPPA, for example (European Federation of Professional Psychologists Associations), which has 30 member associations. Are there any projects in the EU which endeavour to organise assistance for victims of accidents in need of psychological support, or are there plans to set up such programmes at European level? Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (16 June 2000) Under the Community action programme in the field of civil protection for 1998 and 1999 (Council Decision 98/22/EC of 19 December 1997 (1)), the Commission financed the following measures in the area of psychosocial help in the event of disasters, as part of the major disaster medicine project: self-training workshop on preparing those responsible for, and involved in, civil protection to deal with the psychosocial dimension of disasters; several workshops on the management of psychosocial monitoring in the case of collective emergencies; a workshop on psychosocial support in crisis situations. These activities led to the drafting of practical recommendations on the organisation of psychosocial support for those involved, victims and family members, which have been published on the Internet: http://europa. eu. int/comm/environment/civil/. Accordingly, within the framework of the Community action programme in the field of civil protection for 2000-2004 (Council Decision 1999/847/EC of 9 December 1999 (2)), Belgium has proposed a project relating to the management of psychosocial support in the case of disasters. The purpose of the project is to prepare a methodological guide, monitoring indicators and a system for training those responsible, covering the entire Community. A programme of Community action on injury prevention (Decision No 372/1999/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 February 1999 (3)) has been adopted in the area of public health, the main objective of which is to contribute to public health activities to reduce the incidence of injuries by promoting the epidemiological monitoring of injuries and exchanges of information on the use of these data in order to help to define priorities and improve prevention strategies. No projects relating to psychological support in the case of serious accident or natural disaster have yet been submitted. However, they could be considered, account being taken of the eligibility criteria, the annual priorities and the annual resources available. (1) OJ L 8, 14. 1. 1998. (2) OJ L 327, 21. 12. 1999.

(2001/C 46 E/199) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1328/00 by Mar(cid:237)a Ayuso GonzÆlez (PPE-DE) to the Commission (27 April 2000) Subject: Proposal for an European Parliament and Council regulation on the closure of the ECIP programme On 31 January 2000 the Commission published a proposal for an European Parliament and Council regulation on the implementation of the European Communities Investment Partners financial instrument (ECIP), in which it proposed the liquidation of the existing set of programmes (COM(1999) 0726). Is it true that in the more recent years of this programme(cid:146)s life there have been procedural delays in the Commission in allocating projects? Can the Commission state whether in fact ECIP virtually ground to a halt in 1999, in the wake of the creation and entry into operation of the Joint Service for the management of Community Aid to Non-Member Countries, the resignation of the Commission and the reorganisation carried out within the new Commission? Is it true that these circumstances have led to certain requests, including Nos 3749 (Mercosur) and 3750 (Mexico), being accepted but not subsequently processed by the Approvals Committee?

text: COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 17. 04. 2000 COM(2000) 225 final 2000/0097 (ACC) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION concerning the Community position within the Association Council on the participation of Poland in the “Youth” Community action programme (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM The Helsinki European Council of December 1999 confirmed the enlargement process launched at its meeting of December 1997 in Luxembourg. The enhanced Pre-Accession Strategy defined in 1997 has been reiterated, which includes the participation of the 13 candidate States in Community programmes as an important part of such strategy. As regards the ten candidate countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs), participation in Community programmes is provided in their respective Europe Agreements. Pursuant to the Europe Agreements, the conditions and modalities of these countries’ participation are defined by the respective Association Councils. In the case of the education, training and youth programmes, all the CEECs have been participating in 1999 in the first phase of the Leonardo da Vinci and of the Socrates programmes, and in the Youth for Europe programme. For some of them, participation in these programmes started already in 1997, others joined the programmes in 1998 and others in 1999. Their participation in these programmes has been an important element in these countries’ pre-accession process. The Association Council decisions setting out the arrangements for this participation expired on 31 December 1999, as did the decisions establishing the programmes themselves. The second phase of Leonardo da Vinci, the second phase of Socrates, and a new Youth programme, are succeeding the previous programmes. The decisions establishing the second phase of Leonardo da Vinci and of Socrates provide that the programmes shall be open to the participation of the CEECs. A similar provision is included in the draft decision of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Community action programme Youth, which is in the process of adoption. All the CEECs have confirmed their willingness to participate in the new programmes as from 2000, and to pay their financial contribution partly from their national budget, and partly from their annual Phare allocation. As provided in the conclusions of the meeting of the European Council in Luxembourg of 12 and 13 December 1997, these countries’ financial contributions of their own are steadily increasing. Because of the transnational nature of these programmes, it is in the interests of all parties that the activities undertaken within the first generation of programmes could continue within the successor programmes without any interruption. So as to allow the CEECs to participate in these new programmes since their beginning, the Commission has tabled a proposal for the adoption of two decisions of each Association Council, one for the two programmes already in force, Leonardo da Vinci II and Socrates, and one for the Youth programme. So the proposed decisions concerning Leonardo da Vinci II and Socrates II could be adopted first, and the proposed decisions concerning Youth could be adopted as soon as the decision establishing the programme will enter into force. The main issues addressed in the proposed draft Decisions of the Association Councils are the following : 2 • projects and initiatives submitted by participants from the CEECs shall be subject to the same conditions, rules and procedures pertaining to these programmes as are applied to Member States, regarding in particular the submission, assessment, and selection of applications and projects, in the implementation of the programmes, and the activities related to the monitoring of their participation in the programmes ; the responsibilities of the national structures • the CEECs will pay each year a contribution to the programmes, as established in the Association Council decisions. This contribution will not be reimbursed to the CEEC if, at the end of the year, the results fall short of the contribution paid ; • as provided in the conclusions of the meeting of the European Council in Luxembourg, the CEECs will be invited to attend the Programme Committees as observers, for the points which concern them ; • the decisions will apply for the duration of the programmes and will enter into force the day of their adoption. The early adoption of Association Council decisions would allow the candidate countries to continue being integrated in Community networks and other activities in the fields of education, vocational training and youth without any interruption. Accordingly, the Council is invited to adopt the annexed proposal for a Council Decision concerning the Community position within the Association Council on the participation of Poland in the “Youth” Community action programme. 3 Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION concerning the Community position within the Association Council on the participation of Poland in the “Youth” Community action programme THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 149, in conjunction with Article 300(2) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas: (1) (2) (3) (4) The Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part, has been concluded by decision of the Council and the Commission of 4 December 1995 ; According to Article 1 of the Additional Protocol, Poland may participate in Community framework programmes, specific programmes, projects or other actions notably in the field of youth and, pursuant to Article 2, the terms and conditions for the participation of Poland in these activities shall be decided by the Association Council ; Following the Decision 1/98 of 27 February 1998 of the Association Council between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part1, Poland has been participating in the Youth for Europe programme since 1 March 1998 ; Decision (…/2000/EC) of … 2000 of the European Parliament and the Council establishing the “Youth” Community action programme2, and in particular Article 11 thereof, provide that this programme shall be open to the participation of associated Central and Eastern European countries in accordance with the conditions set out in the Europe Agreements, in their additional protocols and in the decisions of the respective Association Councils, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: 1 2 OJ L 76, 13. 3. 1998, p. 33.

TITLE OF OPERATION Participation of Poland in the Youth programme 2. BUDGET HEADING INVOLVED B7-030 Economic aid to the associated countries of Central and Eastern Europe 6091 Revenue accruing from the participation of the associated countries of central Europe in Community programmes 3. LEGAL BASIS Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 149, in conjunction with Article 300(2) thereof ; the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement with Poland, providing for the participation in Community programmes ; Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council (…/2000/EC) of … 2000 establishing the Youth programme, and in particular Article 11 thereof. 4. 4. 1 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION General objective The Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement with Poland provides for Poland’s participation in Community programmes in a wide range of areas, among which youth. the Its participation will not only contribute towards the implementation of provisions relating to economic and cultural cooperation in the Europe Agreement, but will also enable Poland to familiarise itself with the procedures and methods used in Community programmes. Poland has been participating in the Youth for Europe programme since 1 March 1998. In line with the Commission communication “Agenda 2000” of 16. 7. 1997 and of the conclusions of the European Council in Luxemburg, Poland’s participation in this programme has been part of the reinforced preaccession strategy which assist this country in its preparation for future accession to the Union. The decision-making process for the opening-up of programmes involves a decision by the Association Council between the Union and Poland. The decision of the Association Council of 27 February 1998 establishing the participation of Poland in this programme has expired on 31 December 1999. This new draft Association Council Decision aims at allowing the Polish participation to be carried on and to ensure continuity between the new Youth 12 programme and its predecessor. Like the first one, it lays down conditions, notably as for financial concerns Poland’s participating in the programme. arrangements contribution, practical and 4. 2 Period covered and arrangements for renewal Until the end of the Community programme concerned, i. e. 31. 12. 2006. 5. 5. 1 5. 2 5. 3 CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE Non-compulsory expenditure Differentiated appropriations Type of revenue involved Since Article 3 of the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement stipulates that Poland itself will meet the costs resulting from its participation, it will be invited to pay a contribution for participating in the programme. As the same article states that the Community may supplement Poland’s contribution, Poland will contribute only part from its national budget. The remaining part of its contribution will be taken from its PHARE National Programme. The required PHARE funds will be charged to heading B7-030, and transferred to Poland by means of a separate Financing Memorandum. Together with the part coming from Poland’s State budget, these funds will constitute Poland’s national contribution, out of which it will make payments in response to annual calls for funds from the Commission. The total contribution, once paid by Poland, will be transferred to item 6091 of the EU’s budget receipts. 6. TYPE OF EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE – 100% subsidy – Subsidy for joint financing with other sources in the public and/or private sector – No provision for all or part of the Community contribution to be reimbursed – As far as revenue is concerned, provision for Poland’s contribution to cover the cost of its participation is made under item 6091. The revenue will be allocated to the items for expenditure on the programme in question and, where appropriate, to the relevant items of operating expenditure. The total revenue expected is given under item 7. 4. 7. 7. 1 FINANCIAL IMPACT Method of calculating total cost of operation (relation between individual and total costs) Based on the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement with Poland, the financial and budgetary arrangements for the programme concerned are as follows: the Poland’s contribution takes into account two elements : 13 - the foreseeable operational costs, which have been calculated on the basis of the programme’s budget (the draft preliminary budget for Youth for 2000), the country’s estimated take-up capacity, and previous experience of its participation in the Youth for Europe programme, - the foreseeable administrative costs, corresponding to the meetings and missions. These estimated administrative costs amount yearly to 19 000 €. Poland will use part of its national PHARE annual programme as a complement to its state budget to finance its contribution to the operational costs. 7. 2 Itemised breakdown of cost € 3 759 000 budget, and 2 505 800 from Phare. for 2000, of which 1 253 200 will be financed from the Polish national 7. 3 Operational expenditure for studies, experts etc. included in Part B of the budget p. m. : up to a maximum in proportion to the appropriations of that kind in the EUR 15 allocations for the Youth programme, but within the limits allowed by the part of the contribution which comes from the country's national budget. 7. 4 Schedule of commitment and payment appropriations Amounts to be charged to item B7-030 € 2 505 800 in 2000 in commitment appropriations and in payment appropriations. The foreseeable annual receipts are as follows: € 3 759 000 the administrative costs in 2000, of which 3 740 000 € for the operational costs, and 19 000 for 8. FRAUD PREVENTION MEASURES All the Commission’s contracts, agreements and other legal commitments provide for on-the-spot checks by the Commission and Court of Auditors. Among other things, the beneficiaries of the operations are obliged to file reports and financial statements. These are analysed from the point of view of their content and the eligibility of the expenditure in line with the objective of Community financing. The anti-fraud provisions of the basic budget headings apply to this heading too when adapted to the case of the countries of Central Europe. 9. 9. 1 ELEMENTS OF COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS Specific and quantified objectives; target population The aim of opening up the Youth programme to Poland is to bring about similar benefits as for Member States of the Community. The essential aim of Community action on youth is to enable all European citizens to achieve their full potential and to 14 display initiative and creativity so that they can participate fully in society and in the building of Europe. This objective is based on the gradual establishment of an open European area for youth. The overall objective of the Youth programme is to contribute to the educational process of all young people through activities which complement those taking place in the Member States or provided at Community level in the fields of education and training. The specific objectives of the programme are to: – – – – – – promote youth exchanges for young people aged 15 to 25 living in one or several Member States; support initiatives and innovative projects of Community interest or of a transnational nature set up by young people for young people, which allow them to play an active and acknowledged role in society and to develop their personal abilities, creativity, sense of solidarity and independence; create favourable conditions for meetings of a high standard and ensure the high quality of all measures taken under the programme; support the training of youth leaders to enable young people to benefit from high-quality common measures related to the general objectives of the programme; step up cooperation among Member States and between them and the Commission through exchanges initiatives at Community level, and thus to support Member States in their endeavours to improve the quality of services and measures for young people, in particular through activities aimed at providing young people with information about the objectives of the programme; of experience and joint aim at reinforce the sense of solidarity, promoting the active participation and integration in the society of young people and stimulating the acquisition of new skills and competencies by young people through an informal learning experience by means of participating to transnational European Voluntary Service activities for the benefit of local communities. 9. 2 Grounds for the operation – Need for Community financial aid In view of the high cost of participation in the programme and Poland’s precarious budgetary situation, assistance from PHARE is essential. – Choice of ways and means With a contribution from the national budget, supplemented by one from PHARE, Poland’s integration in the programme will allow its citizens to cooperate with their counterparts in the current EU Member States. The integration of Polish nationals in Community networks will make a definite contribution to preparing Poland for future membership – Main factors of uncertainty which could affect the specific results of the operation 15 Since projects will be selected according to qualitative criteria, it will only be possible to measure the real impact on the basis of Polish organisations’ capacity to respond to the calls for proposal launched by the Commission under the programme. 9. 3 Monitoring and evaluation of the operation The monitoring and evaluation procedures included in the Youth programme (notably in respect of evaluation, as included in the decision establishing the programme) will also cover operations financed for Polish beneficiaries. 10.
