A. INTRODUCTION

Each year the European Commission draws up a report on the monitoring of the application of Community law in response to requests from Parliament (Resolution of 9 February 1983) and the Member States (point 2 of declaration No 19 annexed to the Treaty signed at Maastricht on 7 February 1992). The report also meets requests from the European Council and the Council for information on specific fields.

This report, the eleventh in the series, covers 1993, a year when the legislative programme for the internal market was almost complete and attention shifted towards scrutiny of how Community legislation is actually applied.

The Commission's monitoring activities, both in the internal market and in other fields, helped to clear up a considerable number of infringements in the past year, as the figures testify. How did the Commission go about this task? First of all, by applying the infringement procedure laid down in Article 169 EC, but also by striving to increase awareness among the Member States and by steadily developing genuine cooperation at administrative level with the aim of ensuring that Community rules are more widely observed and that directives are effectively implemented.

The infringement procedure

As in previous years the Commission's action in 1993 was based, to a large extent, on complaints received from individuals and firms (see Table 1.1 in Annex I), although these were slightly down in number from 1 185 in 1992 to 1 040 in 1993. The success of the Commission's complaints procedure, which involves no expense or formalities, demonstrates the public's growing awareness of the Community's importance. As well as examining complaints, the Commission draws on every possible source of information to detect infringements. Apart from monitoring the transposal of directives, it also detects other cases by its own inquiries (247 in 1993), while a number of cases are brought to light by petitions (23) and Parliamentary questions (30).

The Commission's action under Article 169 of the EC Treaty may be illustrated in figures. In 1993 it commenced 1209 infringement proceedings, sent 352 reasoned opinions and referred 44 cases to the Court of Justice.

While the number of proceedings commenced in 1993 showed little change from 1992 (down from 1 216 to 1 209), the number of reasoned opinions rose by around a hundred from 248 to 352, the most notable increase being for failure to notify national implementing measures (up from 126 to 244). This sharp increase follows the rise in the number of Article 169 letters sent in 1992 (1 216) compared with 1991 (853), because of the large number of directives due for transposal in 1992 for which implementing measures were not notified on time.

The number of cases referred to the Court fell by more than 30 % from 64 in 1992 to 44 in 1993. Moreover, one third of the Member States were not brought before the Court at all. These figures confirm the downward trend of recent years (97 referrals in 1989, 78 in 1990 and 65 in 1991) and highlight the effectiveness of action by the Commission, which succeeds in most cases in persuading Member States to observe Community law without having to go so far as a referral to the Court.

This success is also reflected in the number of cases closed. During 1992 and 1993 the Commission was able to terminate 50 % of infringement proceedings commenced for failure to notify national implementing measures over the same period, as the Member States concerned had adopted the requisite measures.

These initial findings suggest that the situation regarding the observance of Community law and the implementation of directives is relatively satisfactory, although the Commission is still concerned at persistent problems in certain fields.

Towards greater respect for the rules of law

The Commission has observed a sharp improvement in certain key areas of the Community's activities.

As regards infringements of the Treaty provisions prohibiting barriers to the free movement of goods, in particular Article 30 et seq. (non-tariff barriers) and Article 95 (discrimination in internal taxation), there was a big increase in the number of infringement proceedings terminated and a fall in the number of reasoned opinions and referrals to the Court. There was also a sharp drop in the number of complaints concerning border controls on goods.

This trend reflects the gradual acceptance of Community rules by the national authorities, helped by the machinery of administrative cooperation, in particular the procedures set up as part of the internal market and the so-called 'package meetings` held with individual Member States to discuss a set of infringement proceedings relating to a specific field (e.g. Article 30, agriculture, environment or indirect taxation).

But these efforts must be kept up. In certain sectors, and to varying degrees in the different Member States, compliance with the rules in force has actually deteriorated. To give one example, the public procurement Directives, which have already been in force for several years, are not always properly applied in practice by the various awarding authorities. This is reflected in the very small number of cases which were terminated in 1993 and the increase in the number of reasoned opinions and referrals to the Court.

The sector-by-sector analysis and the list of infringements of the Treaties, regulations and decisions set out in Annex III paint a fuller picture of the problems encountered by Member States in the various fields.

Towards more effective implementation of directives

Progress in implementing all directives in force at 31 December 1993 is summarized in the table below:

>TABLE>

On 31 December 1993 the Member States had, on average, notified more thean 90 % of the national measures necessary to implement the directives then in force. This figure shows a very slight drop from 31 December 1992, when the rate of measures notified was 91 %. However, it should be borne in mind that around sixty more directives came into force during the intervening twelve months.

These overall figures disguise wide variations between individual fields and between Member States, as the sector-by-sector analysis and the list in Annex IV reveal.

For example, during 1993 there was a sharp fall in the rate of transposal of agricultural and environmental directives. In agriculture the overall rate for all the Member States dropped by nearly 4 %, mainly because of the other tasks which had to be undertaken simultaneously - the reworking of legislation and reorganization of the relevant administrative departments. Moreover, Member States had very often put practical implementation before legislative reforms in order to meet the 1993 deadline. The delays in the environmental field were accounted for mainly by administrative problems relating to coordination. Nonetheless, the Commission, which is well aware of what is at stake here, is constantly striving to increase awareness and supports the Member States' efforts to clear the backlog.

Meanwhile, there was a remarkable increase in the rate of transposal in other sectors, notably pharmaceuticals, motor vehicles, machine-tools and the like, telecommunications, public procurement, the mutual recognition of qualifications, consumer policy and product safety.

As in past years the rate of transposal in the customs and indirect taxation fields was very high (100 % and 99 % respectively).

The implementation of directives is an arduous task and it is only right that the Commission should offer its help to Member States. That is why for several years the Commission has held annual meetings with Member States who express an interest to review progress in transposing all directives for which national implementing measures have not yet been notified - whether or not transposal is already due.

Future prospects

The Conference on European Union sought to strengthen the Commission's hand in monitoring Community law by revising Article 171 of the EC Treaty. Under the revised Article, when a Member State is brought before the Court of Justice for failing to comply with an earlier judgment of the Court relating to an infringement proceeding, the Commission may propose that financial penalties be imposed on the State concerned. Though is now being given to how this new instrument should be implemented in practice. It must be said that, at present, there are often long delays before Court judgments are implemented (see Annex V).

However, the Commission's tougher legal powers must not undermine its pursuit of cooperation and dialogue with national government departments, as this method very often leads to cases being settled at an early stage of proceedings.

The Commission therefore intends to encourage the holding of 'package meetings` and, in view of the success of the meetings on directives, to increase their frequency and extend them to other Member States, according to specific needs. It also intends to lay greater emphasis, in its contacts with national authorities, on the quality of national implementing measures, i.e. compliance with the requirements of directives. This is an aspect which is sometimes neglected, especially in certain areas of the internal market where all the implementing measures have been adopted but have not yet produced their full effect as they fail to meet all the objectives of the relevant directive.

Through this combination of tougher infringement procedures and sustained administrative cooperation, the Commission will continue to play an effective role as guardian of the Treaties.

Structure of the Eleventh Report

As far as possible, the Commission has tried to incorporate suggested improvements, in particular those put forward in European Parliament resolutions. However, as the report is intended to present an overall picture, it must remain concise and balanced in its treatment of the different fields.

The report comprises:

- a sector-by-sector analysis;

- statistical tables, updated to 31 December 1993, on suspected infringements (Annex I) and established infringements (Annex II);

- a list of infringements of the Treaties, regulations and decisions examined in 1993 (Annex III);

- a report on the application by the Member States of directives in force at 31 December 1993 and the relevant infringement proceedings (Annex IV);

- a list of Court judgments which have not yet been implemented (Annex V);

- a summary of the application of Community law by the national courts (Annex VI).

B. AN AREA WITHOUT INTERNAL FRONTIERS

1. INTRODUCTION

Over the last few years Community policy has been profoundly marked by the completion of the internal market. This prime objective was originally set out in the Treaty of Rome and later defined in detail in Article 7a of the EC Treaty, which provided for the establishment by 31 December 1992 of an area without internal frontiers in which the four fundamental freedoms are guaranteed. Success in achieving this goal hinges mainly on the application of the relevant Community legislation.

In 1985 the Commission adopted a legislative programme - the White Paper - which set out a series of measures covering different sectors of activity that were to form the basis of the internal market. Since then the programme has been the main driving force behind the single market project and served as a yardstick for measuring the progress achieved.

Since the adoption of the legislative programme, the Commission has systematically and consistently monitored the incorporation into national law of the Community measures concerned. Despite practical problems in the Member States, the rate of transposal has been generally satisfactory. At the end of 1993 the Council had adopted nearly all of the 282 instruments set out in the programme. In all 263 of the measures adopted are already in force, of which only 222 require national implementing measures. The Member States have so far adopted 86 % of the national laws necessary to transpose the relevant Community instruments.

Besides keeping a check on the number of national implementing measures, the Commission also monitors the quality of these measures, a decisive factor in the effective implementation of Community law. The acid test is whether the national legislation conforms to Community law. The Commission adopts a broad approach here, not only comparing texts but also taking into account the different national legal systems.

As well as monitoring the application of Community law, the Commission must also provide a framework for managing its implementation and establish appropriate structures for achieving the targets that have been laid down. With this in mind it pursues various initiatives in cooperation with the Member States aimed at ensuring that Community legislation is implemented effectively and applied with consistency.

The Commission pursues a policy of openness regarding the state of play in the legislative process and the implementation of Community legislation, publishing periodic reports on the application of Community law and entering all the available information on national implementing measures in databases.

By undertaking the task of consolidating the body of Community legislation, the Commission hopes to render it more concise and transparent. This task is vital as Community law is constantly evolving.

The Commission is also keen to step up its cooperation with the Member States. It intends to give top priority to cooperation with national government departments by establishing an 'administrative partnership`. Initiatives already taken in this field include:

- Bilateral meetings with national government departments to discuss progress in the transposal of Community instruments and compliance with Article 30 of the Treaty of Rome, which prohibits all measures that may hinder intra-Community trade. In 1993 it held meetings of this kind with the Italian, spanish, Greek, French and German authorities. In general these occasions provide an opportunity to shed more light on specific problems and to clear the log-jam in the internal transposal process. They also help to avoid misunderstandings with the national departments concerned, in particular where the Commission has not been notified of implementing measures. As a result the Commission is often able to avoid or terminate infringement proceedings.

- The establishment of certain specialized bodies. Now that the deadline for completion of the internal market has expired and the Community has made remarkable progress on all fronts, the Commission now faces the task of managing the new frontier-free area, while allowing for national diversities. It must see to it that the internal market actually works in practice. A special committee has been set up to deal with this new situation: the Advisory Committee for coordination in the Internal Market field (1) has been given the task of solving any problems that arise from the operation of the internal market and, where appropriate, the abolition of controls at internal borders. The Committee is also called on to help intensify and consolidate administrative cooperation to ensure that the single market functions smoothly.

- The development of a programme of exchanges of national officials responsible for implementing legislation on the internal market. This programme, baptized the Karolus programme by a Commission decision (2), has its roots in the original White Paper on the internal market. It has been operational since the beginning of the year and is open to all civil servants in national and local government departments who are involved in implementing Community law. The areas covered by these exchanges are defined according to their specific characteristics and real needs.

These initiatives have now taken on a new dimension, as part of the operation of the internal market, under the strategic programme on the internal market adopted in December. The programme draws its inspiration from a report by the study group chaired by Mr Peter Sutherland, which was asked to present the Commission with guidelines for action on the operation of the internal market after 1992. The strategic programme investigates ways of securing the credibility of the internal market and maximizing its economic benefits.

2. SITUATION SECTOR BY SECTOR

2.1. Removal of physical barriers

2.1.1. Customs Union

2.1.1.1. Commission action

Two reasoned opinions were sent to Germany: in the first the German authorities were asked to comply with the minimum prices imposed by the international arrangement on the milk sector when issuing authorizations for inward processing and bringing products under this customs procedure; the second was aimed at the abolition of a provision in German customs law authorizing the customs authorities to conclude agreements with declarants on the simplification of formalities, in particular the determination of customs value, as Community legislation does not provide for such agreements. The second case has since been terminated as the rule in question has been abolished.

Two reasoned opinions were sent to Portugal. The first concerned the unjustified refusal to grant authorization for inward processing to a oil-cake processing firm; the infringement proceedings have since been terminated, as the Protuguese authorities eventually agreed to grant authorization. The other reasoned opinion concerned the duty-free import of material which was not specifically for military purposes, in breach of Community legislation. Portugal is the ninth Member State to be sent a reasoned opinion for this kind of infringement.

A reasoned opinion was also sent to Italy asking the authorities to amend a provision in Italian customs law which allows the recovery of customs duties at a flat rate when goods transported unter the national transit procedure are not presented on arrival. This rule is contrary to Community customs law and fails to guarantee that the Community's own resources ar properly collected and made available.

>TABLE>

2.1.2. Free movement of agricultural products

Establishing freedom of movement for agricultural products in a single market is one of the principles underpinning the operation of the common agricultural policy (CAP) and its common market organizations.

The Court of Justice has repeatedly pointed out that Articles 30 and 34 of the EEC Treaty are still an integral part of the common market organizations, even though there has no longer been any need to write them into the Regulations since 1 January 1970.

In 1993 the Commission once again kept a constant watch to make sure that barriers to trade in agricultural products in the Community were removed. It paid particular attention to controls at internal frontiers.

2.1.2.1. Import controls

Before the abolition of internal borders, import controls were the most numerous and the most varied of all the obstacles to trade.

Considerable progress has been made in many infringement proceedings as a result of the entry into force of legislation harmonizing veterinary and plant health rules for the completion of the internal market. These proceedings may be classified as follows:

(a) Double checks and systematic checks such as those applied in Italy - to ensure compliance with national rules on the presence of histamine - to salted fish imported from Greece with a health certificate issued by the Member State of dispatch.

This problem was solved by the entry into force of Directive 91/493/EEC laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products.

In the context of this Directive it is expected that Italy will comply with the judgment of the Court of Justice in Case C-228/91, which condemned the systematic inspections carried out on consignments of fish imported from other Member States and Norway (3).

(b) The requirement for prior import licences or permits applied in Spain to live sheep imported from other Member States, in Ireland to bovine and porcine semen to be used for artificial insemination purposes, and in Italy to any vegetable matter sensitive to fire blight.

Infringement proceedings against Spain were terminated after it abolished individual permits for the import of live sheep.

In its judgment of 17 November 1992 in Case C-235/91 (4), the Court of Justice found that in making the import of semen from domestic bovine and porcine animals subject to a licence and various other conditions, Ireland had failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 30 of the EC Treaty, Regulations (EEC) Nos 805/68 and 827/68, Directive 77/504/EEC and Decision 88/124/EEC.

Ireland has since notified the Commission of draft measures to be adopted to comply with the Court's decision and incorporate the relevant directives into national law.

As part of its efforts to implement Directive 77/93/EEC laying down new common rules in the plant health sector, the Italian authorities have abolished the requirement for prior import licences for vegetable matter sensitive to fire blight during the period in which such imports are not prohibited. However, the Commission has not withdrawn the case before the Court of Justice (Case C-249/92), as it would like to obtain a general ruling on this matter.

(c) Over-complicated checking arrangements such as the ban placed by Italy on imports of grapefruit from other Member States through its land border posts. This practice was condemned by the Court of Justice, which found that Italy was failing to fulfil its obligations under Article 30 of the EC Treaty and Council Directive 77/93/EEC on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of harmful organisms of plants or plant products (5).

In this particular case, the ban on the entry of grapefruit through land border posts has now been lifted under the national legislation adopted to implement Directive 91/683/EEC, which establishes in the Community an area free from internal plant health restrictions. Infringement proceedings have therefore been terminated.

2.1.2.2. Import bans

Import bans have been lifted as the Member States gradually implement harmonization directives. For example, the ban on the import of frozen minced meat from France into Spain has now been removed under the national rules adopted to implement Directive 88/657/EEC, which lays down the requirements for the production of, and trade in, minced meat, meat in pieces of less than 100 grams and meat preparations.

However, in two cases the procedures laid down by the directives have not been followed and imports have been seriously restricted. The Commission's firm line in pursuing these cases reflects its determination to see that the operating rules of the internal market are enforced.

Both cases concern unilateral measures adopted by the Portuguese authorities banning imports of live pigs and pigmeat, without taking into account the safeguard mechanisms for combating the spread of serious diseases laid down in Directives 90/425/EEC and 89/662/EEC.

The first import ban was applied from 9 March 1991 to 1993 as a protection measure against a new pig disease. It was condemned by the Court of Justice (6).

However, following an outbreak of African swine fever in November 1993, the Portuguese authorities again adopted unilateral import restrictions, without applying the prescribed safeguard mechanisms, by invoking Article 36 of the EC Treaty.

2.1.2.3. New policies

While a number of disputes have been solved by the entry into force of directives, the development of new policies means that proceedings from previous years must now be looked at in a new light.

This is the case for example in the implementation of the policy on the quality of agricultural products.

Since the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs, problems relating to designations of origin - for example the question of reserving certain denominations for cheeses produced exclusively in specific regions of Greece - must now be examined solely in the context of that Regulation. Accordingly, the Commission has terminated the case relating to cheeses which will now be considered under the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.

2.2. Removal of technical barriers

2.2.1. Free movement of goods

2.2.1.1. Articles 30 et seq. of the EC Treaty and application of the principle of mutual recognition

Article 30 of the EC Treaty prohibits quantitative restrictions on imports and all other measures having equivalent effect on trade between Member States, while a similar ban for exports is laid down in Article 34. However, under Article 36 these two provisions do not apply to national rules designed to safeguard certain specified general interests such as public policy, public security and the protection of the health and life of humans. Meanwhile, rules that are applied without distinction in law and in fact to national and imported products are contrary to Article 30 if they are not necessary to satisfy mandatory requirements such as the defence of consumers or the protection of the environment. Even where such rules are justifiable, they must be proportionate to the objective being pursued, i.e. they must cause less disruption to intra-Community trade than other possible ways of achieving the desired objective.

In its judgment of 24 November 1993 in 'Keck and Mithouard`, the Court of Justice reaffirmed its view that rules laying down requirements to be met by goods such as those relating to their weight, presentation, labelling, size, composition, packaging, form and designation are contrary to Article 30, even if they are applied without distinction to all products, unless their application could be justified by an objective of public interest (7). However, it also held that the application to products from other Member States of national provisions restricting or prohibiting certain selling arrangements was not such as to hinder directly or indirectly, acutally or potentially, trade between Member States within the meaning of the 'Dassonville` judgment (8), provided that those provisions applied to all affected traders operating within the national territory and provided that they affected in the same manner, in law and in fact, the marketing of domestic products and those from other Member States. The Court reiterated this principle in the 'Hünermund` judgment of 15 December 1993 (9). It is still too early to say what the practical implications of these decisions will be.

Barriers to trade are removed in practice by applying the principle of mutual recognition, as developed and defined by the Court of Justice in its interpretation of Article 30, which is commonly referred to by the name of the judgment which first laid down this novel principle - 'Cassis de Dijon` (10). According to this principle, any product lawfully produced or marketed in one Member State of the Community must enjoy access to all other Member States except where there are legitimate reasons - the 'mandatory requirements` referred to above.

If each Member State accepts products which comply with other Member States' rules, standards or technical processes when these ensure a level of protection at least equivalent to that guaranteed by their own legislation, goods may circulate freely with due respect for the level of protection desired by each country on its own territory, pending harmonization by the Community in the field concerned.

Acting on the basis of the Court's judgments, the Commission examines hundreds of complaints and cases detected on its initiative and commences infringement proceedings where appropriate. The Commission's departments strive to resolve these disputes quickly and amicably. To this end they hold regular 'package meetings` with national authorities to discuss a series of cases concerning the host State. In 1993 meetings of this kind were held with France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Germany, to the mutual satisfaction of both parties. This partnership also has an instructive side, as it encourages the various national authorities to take into account the fundamental principles of Community law, such as the free movement of goods, when drawing up rules.

In practice this approach, which is based on cooperation and the avoidance of conflict, involves close scrutiny of draft technical rules notified by the Member States under the notification procedure established by Directive 83/189/EEC. At the end of this process the national authorities insert a mutual recognition clause in the final text. It is worth noting that a growing number of the rules notified by the Member States already contain such a clause.

Pending formal amendment of national legislation that contravenes Article 30, the Member States often adopt temporary measures, such as circulars published in their official national gazette or public notices in the information bulletins of the authorities responsible for enforcing the measures in question, informing traders that the disputed national rules should be interpreted in such a way as to be compatible with the requirements of the principle of the free movement of goods and will be applied accordingly by the authorities. For example, Italy adopted a circular notifying traders that the requirement for a document accompanying goods (the 'bolla di accompagnamento dei beni viagganti`) applied only to internal transport and not to imports from Community countries.

The Member States also publish notices in their official gazettes or in administrative bulletins to add to or amend national legislation to comply with Community law. For example, the French authorities published a notice to importers indicating that, under an amendment to the decree regulating steam-pressure appliances with detachable caps to recognize the equivalence of safety levels under French rules and under the technical standards or specifications of other Member States, the recognition procedure only needs to be applied once where the machines are of the same type (11).

Sometimes the process of making national law comply with Community law requires action not only from the legislative and executive powers but also from organizations or associations to which the government has transferred its prerogatives in a particular field.

For example the Commission was able to terminate proceedings against Germany concerning technical specifications applicable to certain types of machinery for the prevention of accidents ('Durchführungsanweisungen zu Unfallverhütungsvorschriften`) after a mutual recognition clause was inserted in the law on the safety of these products ('Gerätesicherheitsgesetz`) and a similar clause was published in the official bulletins of the various professional organizations ('Schriften der Berufsgenossenschaften`) which, under German law, are responsible for laying down technical specifications.

Germany has amended its legislation on foodstuffs, introducing a provision which authorizes the import and marketing of these products when they are lawfully manufactured and/or marketed in another Member State. This provision applies even where the rules of the importing country relating to such foodstuffs differ from German rules, although the consumer must be given appropriate information on the differences insofar as this is necessary for his or her protection (12).

According to the case law of the Court on exclusive rights and sales monopolies, the Commission may check the compatibility with Article 30 of national laws which reserve for certain vendors or categories of vendors the right to sell a specific product, and laws granting exclusive rights for the marketing of a particular product to a public undertaking or a private undertaking exercising its activities under State supervision (13). In such cases the monopoly may constitute a measure having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions and is prohibited under Article 30, as it restricts sales and is therefore likely to affect the scope for marketing imported products. However, the existence of such a monopoly may be justified on one of the grounds laid down in Article 36 of the Treaty or, since in principle it is applied without distinction to national and imported products, by one of the mandatory requirements laid down by the Court in 'Cassis de Dijon`. Finally, it should be noted that the whole question may have to be reviewed in the light of lessons to be learned from the 'Keck and Mithouard` judgment of 24 November 1993 (14).

With the completion of the internal market, all internal border controls in the Community were to have been abolished by 1 January 1993 in accordance with Article 7a of the EC Treaty, thereby facilitating the free movement of goods. All the Member States have have announced the abolition of border controls on goods and it must be said that there have hardly been any complaints in this field.

2.2.1.2. The preventive rules of Directive 83/189/EEC

The notification procedure of Directive 83/189/EEC, as amended by Directive 88/182/EEC, is an essential tool for preventing barriers to trade from being raised and for sharing information. Member States are required to notify drafts of new technical regulations for vetting. The procedure does not cover technical regulations issued to implement directives.

In 1993 the Commission received 385 drafts of national technical regulations for vetting. This represents an increase of 6 % from 1992. Of these 385 cases, 85 required a detailed opinion (15) with a view to securing compliance with the principle of mutual recognition and debarring the establishment of new barriers to trade. For their part, the Member States issued 58 opinions (16). In three cases (17) the Commission had to ask the Member State for a one-year postponement of the measure since harmonization directives were in the pipeline.

On 27 November 1992 the Commission adopted a proposal to amend Directive 83/189/EEC with the aim of clarifying and extending the concept of technical rules and the procedural rules laid down for the Member States (18). Parliament delivered an opinion on this proposal at first reading on 24 May 1993 and the Commission put forward an amended proposal on 6 October 1993 (19). The Council adopted a common position on 12 November 1993.

Since 1989 the Commission has enforced the notification system by systematically combing through the official publications of all the Member States. Whenever it discovers a breach of Directive 83/189/EEC, it commences infringement proceedings under Article 169 of the EEC Treaty.

On 2 August 1993 the Court condemned for the first time an infringement of Directive 83/189/EEC, establishing clearly the binding nature of Articles 8 and 9 of the Directive, which lay down respectively the obligation to give prior notification of national technical rules and to postpone their adoption for a certain period (20).

2.2.1.3. Progress in implementing directives on the free movement of goods

(a) Foodstuffs

In 1993 the Commission examined 81 infringement cases, of which 75 concerned failure to notify. In 47 of these cases directives were incorporated into national law during the year and many proceedings were terminated. In all, the Member States were sent 48 Article 169 letters and 10 reasoned opinions for failure to notify national implementing measures by the prescribed deadlines. The other six infringement cases concerned directives which had been implemented but not properly applied. One of these cases was terminated in 1993.

>TABLE>

(b) Pharmaceuticals

In the course of the year 109 infringement cases were examined, of which all but one concerned failure to notify national implementing measures. Article 169 letters were sent out in these 108 cases. Many of these proceedings have since been terminated after Member States notified the Commission of national implementing measures. In the remaining cases most of the Member States concerned have sent the Commission draft measures or indicated the progress made in transposal. It should be borne in mind that Member States were given an unusually tight deadline - around twelve months - for the incorporation into national law of relatively complicated technical texts. The information received by the Commission suggests that the rate of transposal should improve rapidly in the months ahead.

>TABLE>

(c) Chemiclas

In 1993 the Commission examined 87 infringement cases for failure to notify national implementing measures. In 31 of these cases the Member States concerned transposed the relevant directives during the year after receiving an Article 169 letter or a reasoned opinion. As regards the remaining 56 cases, the Commission sent 11 reasoned opinions and 42 Article 169 letters and closed one case. The delay in transposal is sometimes caused by the problem of overlapping jurisdiction between different ministries and in other cases by the complexity of the legal instruments concerned.

>TABLE>

(d) Motor vehicles, tractors, motorcycles

In general the progress made in transposing directives in this field is very satisfactory. The overall rate of transposal of all the implementing directives (including basic amending directives) is 98.5 %.

Given the technical detail of the directives on motor vehicles, many Member States routinely refer in their national gazettes to the text published in the Official Journal. This practice facilitates and speeds up both the transposal process and the Commission's scrutiny to ensure conformity with Community law. Delays in transposal are more frequent in the other Member States, where a specific national law has to be adopted, as this involves more complicated administrative procedures. Even so, such delays rarely exceed a few months.

In 1993 the Commission examined 61 cases for failure to notify, of which 52 were closed during the year after notification of national implementing measures. Two infringement proceedings were commenced in the course of the year, both of which have since been terminated.

>TABLE>

(e) Construction products

Ten Member States have so far incorporated Directive 89/106/EEC on construction products into their national law. The remaining two, Belgium and Greece, have notified draft measures which are already at an advanced stage and there is a reasonable chance that the legislation in question will be adopted during the first half of 1994.

(f) Mechanical engineering, personal protective equipment, measuring equipment, prepackaging, electronics and medical equipment

A total of 86 directives are involved here, all of which are due for transposal. There was a sharp drop over the year in the number of cases of late transposal. At the end of 1993 the number of cases where directives had still not been transposed stood at 23, compared with 56 at the end of 1992. This reduction is due to a combination of factors:

- most of the directives were due for transposal some time ago and have already entered into force,

- few directives fell due for transposal in 1993;

- the Member States have for the most part made up their delays in transposal.

Nevertheless, the Commission did refer one case to the Court of Justice concerning Italy's failure to incorporate the 'lifts` Directive into national law.

The Commission is now concentrating its efforts on assessing the quality of national implementing measures, in particular those relating to directives adopted under the 'new approach`, for which incorporation into national law has to be more conceptual than textual. The Commission has concluded from its study of national measures that, although the general principles of the 'new approach` have been observed, problems are likely to arise concerning the compatibility of national laws with the directives.

There were few complaints or infringement proceedings in 1993 regarding the incorrect application of directives, notably because of the preventive effect of the procedure laid down in Directive 83/189/EEC (and the mutual exchange of information between the Commission, the Member States and professional organizations).

>TABLE>

2.2.2. The market for services

2.2.2.1. Audiovisual media

Directive 89/552/EEC (television without frontiers), in force since 3 October 1991, aims to secure free movement of television programmes and to encourage the production and distribution of European works so as to create a common broadcasting area.

In 1992 infringement proceedings were brought against three member States (Denmark, Greece and Spain) for failure to notify national implementing measures; two of these cases were subsequently closed (against Greece in 1992 and against Denmark in 1993). Spain was sent a reasoned opinion in 1992.

After scrutinizing the national implementing measures notified by the Member States, the Commission sent a reasoned opinion to the United Kingdom in 1993 for failure to comply with the Directive. It is expected that reasoned opinions will be sent to other Member States (in particular Belgium and France) in 1994.

The Commission has commenced proceedings against Belgium for infringement of Directive 89/552/EEC and Article 59 of the EC Treaty by restricting the freedom to receive television broadcasts from other Member States in breach of the principle laid down in Article 2 of the Directive. This case has now been merged with the infringement proceedings concerning the failure of Belgian legislation to comply with the 'television without frontiers` Directive.

2.2.2.2. Intellectual and industrial property

(a) Commission action

Denmark, Greece, Spain, France and Italy have notified measures implementing Directive 89/104 on trade marks. Infringement proceedings have been commenced against the other Member States, where work on transposal is under way.

Directive 91/250/EEC on the legal protection of computer programs has been in force since 1 January 1993. Only three Member States notified implementing measures by the prescribed deadline - Denmark, Italy and the United Kingdom - and the Commission sent Article 169 letters to the other nine Member States. In 1993 proceedings against Germany, Greece and Ireland were terminated after they notified the Commission of the requisite measures, while Spain also adopted implementing measures in the course of the year. Meanwhile, legislation is on the way in France, where positive developments are expected in 1994.

Finally, all the Member States have notified implementing measures in respect of Directive 87/54/EEC on the legal protection of semiconductor products. The Commission is presently scrutinizing the texts sent by the Greek authorities to ensure that they comply with the Directive.

>TABLE>

2.2.2.3. Telecommunikations

(a) Commission action

The Commission continued to scrutinize the national measures notified by the Member States for implementing the Directives which came into force last year. It also continued to monitor the application and implementation of the other legislative instruments in this sector, which were adopted as part of the internal market programme under the Single Act and under the guidelines set out in the 'Green Paper on the development of the common market for telecommunications services and equipment` (21).

Most of the Member States have notified national measures to implement the three Directives on frequencies, i.e. Directive 87/372/EEC on the frequency bands to be reserved for the coordinated introduction of public pan-European cellular digital land-based mobile communications in the Community (GSM) (22), Directive 90/544/EEC on the frequency bands designated for the coordinated introduction of pan-European land-based public radio paging (Ermes) (23) and Directive 91/287/EEC on the frequency band to be designated for the coordinated introduction of digital European cordless telecommunications in the Community (DECT) (24). The Commission has yet to be notified of national implementing measures by Italy in respect of Directive 91/287/EEC and by Ireland in respect of Directives 90/544/EEC and 91/287/EEC, but both countries are in the process of drafting the relevant legislation. Meanwhile, the Commission is completing its scrutiny of the measures which have been notified to ensure that they comply with the Directives. In most cases the measures in question are satisfactory (those notified by Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom).

Turning to open network provision, all the Member States have notified national implementing measures for the framework Directive 90/387/EEC on the establishment of the internal market in telecommunications services through the implementation of open network provision (25). After examining the texts concerned, the Commission found that they satisfied the requirements of Community law. However, the Commission is monitoring closely legislative developments in Greece, in cooperation with the Greek authorities.

Work has just begun on incorporating Council Directive 92/44/EEC on the application of open network provision to leased lines, which is due to be implemented in stages (26). All the Member States except Greece have sent the Commission the information required under the provisions which entered into force on 1 January 1993 (Article 3 (2) on the publication of the technical information required by the Directive and Article 11 on notification of the name of the national regulatory authority). However, most of the Directive's provisions entered into force on 5 June 1993 and only six Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark and the Netherlands) have so far notified the Commission of national implementing measures. The Commission is at present examining these measures to ensure that they comply with the Directive.

The Commission is examining the implementation of the Decisions on telephone numbers. Five Member States (Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and United Kingdom) have adopted measures to implement Decision 91/396/EEC on the introduction of a single European emergency call number (27), while four others (the Netherlands, France, Ireland and Italy) have asked the Commission for a derogation under Article 3 (2) of the Decision. The Commission has granted a derogation to the Netherlands and is presently considering the other three requests for the deadline for implementation to be extended. The Commission is also surveying the progress made in implementing Decision 92/264/EEC on the introduction of a standard international access code in the Community (28). Seven Member States (Belgium, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Ireland, Italy and Portugal) have already transposed the Decision, while the Commission has granted an extension of the deadline to three others (France, Denmark and the United Kingdom) in accordance with Article 3 (2).

Council Directive 91/263/EEC concerns the approximation of the laws of the Member States on telecommunications terminal equipment, including mutual recognition of their conformity (29). Member States were required to adopt the necessary measures for its transposal by 6 November 1992. Infringement proceedings were therefore commenced against all Member States which failed to notify the Commission of national implementing measures by that date. At present four Member States (Belgium, Greece, Ireland and Luxembourg) have still failed to fulfil this obligation. Meanwhile, the Commission has been scrutinizing the national rules that have been notified and has concluded that the measures adopted by Denmark, France, Italy, Portugal and the United Kingdom cover all of the directive. The practical measures adopted by Germany allow the provisions of the Directive to take effect, but do not amount to satisfactory transposal; further measures are expected soon.

>TABLE>

2.2.3. Free movement of capital

Under Directive 88/361/EEC of 24 June 1988 the transitional period for complete liberalization of capital was due to end on 31 December 1992. Ireland, Spain and Portugal removed the remaining restrictions by the prescribed deadline so that capital has circulated freely in the Community since 1 January 1993. The only, temporary, exception to this general liberalization concerns Greece, which was authorized by the Council to keep certain restrictions on short-term capital until 30 June 1994.

Ireland, Spain and Portugal have already incorporated the provisions of the Directive into national law, while Greece has published a Presidential Decree specifying the transactions for which restrictions may be applied in accordance with Directive 92/122/EEC (30).

During the year the Commission's departments continued to monitor the application of Community law on the movement of capital. In several cases national regulations and practices were considered incompatible with Community law and action was taken to remedy the situation. A number of cases that arose during the year or dated from previous years were resolved, as the Member States concerned complied with Community rules without the need for the Commission to go any further than sending an Article 169 letter.

It is worth noting that, despite the currency crisis in the European Monetary System during this period, no Member State made use of the provisions in the Directive or the Treaty allowing for temporary protective measures in the event of major short-term capital movements putting at risk their exchange rate and monetary policies.

2.2.4. Freedom to provide financial services, direct taxation and company law

In 1993 there was a sharp rise in the number of complaints - and in the number of infringement proceedings brought by the Commission - in relation to Article 59 of the EC Treaty.

This Article, which the Court of Justice has held to be directly applicable, confers on consumers and traders who are legally established in their Member State or origin the basic and general right to provide and receive services across borders. Furthermore, the provisions of secondary Community legislation, i.e. directives governing specific services or particular problem areas, must at all events be interpreted and applied in such a way that they comply with and are consistent with the rules of the Treaty.

As part of its efforts to make Community rules more transparent, the commission published an interpretative communication in 1993 on the free movement of services across frontiers with the aim of informing ordinary Europeans and national authorities about the case law of the Court of Justice in this field (31).

The main barriers erected by the national authorities may be summed up as follows:

- laws and regulations and/or administrative practices which discriminate on the basis of nationality;

- measures which are applied without distinction but prove to be unduly or excessively restrictive;

- the assimilation of rules applied to the provision of services to those relating to establishment. The 'establishment requirement` for the provision of services is at odds with the very idea of an internal market; its effect is to increase the burden on industry and discourage the provision of services across borders, as firms from other Member States are subject to different sets of national rules at the same tine, i.e. those of the Member State of origin and of the Member States where the services are performed.

By way of illustration one can cite various 'atypical` areas which have not yet been harmonized and where community nationals have asked for Articles 59 to 66 to be observed and directly applied. The activities in question include, among others, car hire, the selling of time-shares, participation in public service contracts (below the threshold for the application of the relevant Community directives), tax consultancy, estate agencies, various commercial activities, cleaning and flooring services, aerial photography, services in ports and airports, road traffic consultancy, the hotel industry, temporary work, the transport of valuable goods and private employment agencies.

2.2.4.1. Financial services

Now that the main Community measures for the completion of the internal market in financial services have been introduced, the Commission is monitoring the application of nearly all the measures planned in this field.

Since the entry into force on 1 January 1993 of the second banking Directive (89/646), introducing a 'European passport` for banks established in a Member State, the Commission has stepped up its cooperation with the national supervisory authorities with a view to ensuring consistent and uniform application of the provisions contained in this main Directive and its 'satellites` - Directives 89/299 on own funds, 89/647 on a solvency ratio and 92/30 on supervision on a consolidated basis. To this end several meetings of the ad hoc working party on the interpretation and application of directives was held during 1993. The working party will be convened again soon.

No comparable working parties have yet been established for insurance and marketable securities as the general introduction of a European 'passport` in these fields will not take place until 1994 and 1995 respectively.

Turning to specific problems relating to application, Italy has failed to comply with the reasoned opinion sent by the Commission concerning Italian Law No 1/91 on financial intermediaries (32). The legislation in question has still not been amended as promised by the Italian authorities.

On 14 July 1993 the Court gave judgment on the question of whether the activity performed by an 'approved commissioner`, who is responsible for carrying out certain inspections under the Belgian law on the monitoring of insurance firms, includes direct and specific participation in the exercise of official authority within the meaning of Article 55 of the EC Treaty, which would allow the Belgian authorities to reserve such a post for its own nationals (33). The Court held that the auxiliary and preparatory role delegated to the commissioner vis-à-vis the 'Office de Contrôle des Assurances` (OCA) cannot be considered as direct and specific participation since the final decision to suspend a decision by an insurance firm which would infringe the penal code rests with the OCA itself. As regards the commissioner's obligation to report on any infringements and facts which might jeopardize the firm's financial position, the Court noted that other bodies have similar obligations without their being regarded as coming under the exercise of official authority. This applies in particular to financial institutions, which are obliged to inform the authorities of any fact which might indicate money laundering.

2.2.4.2. Direct taxation

In a judgment delivered on 28 January 1993, the Court allowed that a German dentist who had obtained his professional training in Germany but was residing in the Netherlands could be tasxed more heavily than another dentist residing in Germany as the matter in question was a purely internal German affair (34). The Court has not yet given judgment on the differences in taxes resulting from a professional activity in a Member State other than that of residence. The fact that non-residents are habitually subject to a heavier tax burden could undermine the free movement of individuals guaranteed by Articles 48 (migrant workers) and 52 (self-employed persons) of the EC Treaty. This question has now been referred to the Court in Case C-279/93 'Schumackers`, both as regards the principle itself and the issue of tax advantages in respect of a spouse.

Furthermore, on 21 December 1993 the commission adopted a 'Recommendation on the taxation of certain items of income received by non-residents in a Member State other than that in which they are resident`, in which it urged Member States to provide for appropriate tax arrangements for non-residents, and in particular to grant them the same tax advantages as residents to take into account their family situation (35).

The Commission has continued its efforts to eliminate discrimination in tax rules against non-resident firms providing financial services and individuals who exercise their right to freedom of movement, acting on the basis of the Court's judgment of 28 January 1992 against Belgium (36). The Court found that the tax law which limits the deductibility of sickness insurance contributions to Belgian firms is contrary to the free movement of workeres and the freedom to provide services and may be justified only by the need to preserve the cohesion of the applicable tax system. The legislation of other Member States is now likely to be called into question. However, the Commission hopes to reach common agreement on the adjustment of national tax systems to meet the requirements of the freedom to provide services, as laid down in the third Directive on life assurance (92/96/EEC).

The Commission has terminated various cases arising from complaints concerning the wealth tax levied in Spain. Even though Spanish legislation discriminates between residents and non-residents in granting the former an allowance that is refused to the latter, the disadvantages arising from this discrimination are, in practice, negligible. Non-residents are compensated by the fact that they are exempt from the obligation to declare their entire wealth, a precondition for receiving the rebate in question.

On 13 July 1993 the Court delivered judgment in response to a request for a preliminary ruling in a dispute between the Inland Revenue and the British branch of a German bank (37). Confirming the Commission's view of the scope of Articles 52 and 58 of the EC Treaty, the Court held that these Articles prevent the legislation of a Member State from granting repayment supplement on overpaid tax to companies which are resident for tax purposes in that State while refusing the supplement to companies resident for tax purposes in another Member State.

The arbitration convention of 23 July 1990 (90/436/EEC) has still not entered into force, as four Member States (Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands and Portugal) have not yet deposited their instruments of ratification.

2.2.4.3. Company law

The Commission has terminated the infringement proceedings brought against Greece - following a complaint from the shareholders of the Greek central bank - for failure to comply with Article 25 of the second company law Directive (77/91/EEC), which lays down that any increase in a firm's capital must be decided upon by the general meeting. The proceedings were commenced after Greece had increased the bank's capital by an administrative measure. Following contacts between the Commission and the Greek Government, Greece has amended the offending legislation with effect from 1994. In the meantime, the Greek authorities have given an undertaking to comply with Article 25, with respect to both banks and firms exercising other activities, and hence to ensure that no legislative or administrative measure is adopted forcing an increase in capital. The Commission is keeping a close eye on further developments.

>TABLE>

2.2.5. Public procurement

2.2.5.1. Commission action

The Commission continued to scrutinize national measures implementing directives, paying particular attention to the conformity of measures implementing Directives 90/531/EEC (excluded sectors), 92/13/EEC (remedies in the excluded sectors) and 92/50/EEC (services). For the first of these directivs, Greece, Spain and Portugal have been allowed longer periods for implementation than the other Member States (until 1 January 1996 in Spain and 1 January 1998 in Greece and Portugal).

It must be acknowledged that most of the Member States have made a great effort to transpose Directive 90/531/EEC fully, without going too far beyond the time appointed for its entry into force.

Special administrative arrangements were made in many cases to enable the Directive to come into operation on 1 January 1993 even where the requisite formal provisions were not in place.

Nut neither Germany nor Italy notifiede the Commission of national implementing measures, and both accordingly received reasoned opinions.

The situation regarding Directives 92/13/EEC and 92/50/EEC is far from satisfactory: very few Member States have notified their national implementing measures and there are no grounds for believing them to be imminent.

The Commission has commenced infringement proceedings in the appropriate cases.

The Commission has, of course, pursued its scruting of measures relating to earlier, pre-1993 directives (Directives 71/305/EEC - public works - as amended and 88/295/EEC - public supply contracts, also as amended). A case against Germany for incorrect transposal has been referred to the Court of Justice.

The Commission's review of the practical application of these directives by awarding authorities in the Member States has been intensified, focusing this year on two points - the conditions for recourse to the expedited restricted procedure and compliance with the time allowed for publication of notices concerning operations whose value exceeds the directive thresholds.

The Commission also continued its work of processing complaints and cases detected by its own investigations relating to infringements both of directives and of Treaty articles on public procurement. Since the beginning of 1993 it has had the opportunity to use the procedure of Article 8 of Directive 92/13/EEC, which extends to the formerly excluded sectors the remedies available under Article 3 of Directive 89/665/EEC (review procedures in the event of manifest breaches of basic directives).

In many instances the Commission's action enabled cases to be settled in a manner compatible with Community law without formal contentious proceedings being necessary. Examples include the following cases:

- modification of contract specifications while the procedure was under way, and inadequate time allowed for tenders. A French awarding authority changed its technical specifications in the course of a negotiating procedure launched after a tendering procedure had been declared to have yielded no result, but did not allow all the tenderers enough time to modify their tenders accordingly. Following Commission intervention, the specifications were reviewed and the procedure was reopened, all the earlier tenderers being invited to bid;

- failure to publish a notice of invitation to tender. An Italian awarding authority rectified the omission and notified the Commission of a draft notice, which was then checked before being sent to the Official Journal of the European Communities.

But there were cases where the infringement was not rectified at this preliminary stage, so that the Commission was obliged to commence or pursue the contentious procedure.

By and large the infringements have been put right or are on the way to a solution. To give two examples:

- failure to abide by specified award criteria. Two tenderers in Portugal were excluded from an EAGGF public supply contract on grounds not set out in the notice, and some of the grounds were discriminatory. After being put on notice to comply, the awarding authority agreed to cancel the procedure and issue a new invitation; this time the procedure was found to be in order;

- confusion of selection criteria and award criteria in connection with several contracts in France for a surveillance operation. French awarding authorities responded to Commission intervention with measures to rectify matters, and the cases were closed after formal notice had been given;

Certain contentious proceedings went to the final stages, and two particularly successful cases can be singled out:

- in an action commenced in 1988, the Court of Justice ruled on 2 August that Italy was in breach of its obligations under Directive 71/305/EEC by constructing an avalanche barrier without placing a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities (38).

- in Case C-234/89, a dispute concerning the Storebælt bridge, the Court of Justice gave an important judgment on 22 June concerning negotiations in open and restricted procedures held to be incompatible with the public procurement directives. It held that the underlying principle of the directives is the principle of equal treatment for all tenderers (39).

The Commission also pursued its work of reviewing projects and programmes financed by the Structural Funds and other Community financial instruments.

>TABLE>

2.3. Removal of tax barriers

2.3.1. New legislation applicable from 1 January 1993

Since the beginning of 1993 the Commission, while showing great understanding for Member States which have difficulties in conceptual or practical terms in transposing the new tax directives, has been reminding some of them of their responsibilities under Community law wherever national implementing measures appear to constitute deliberate violations of them.

In the specific area of indirect taxation, and particularly of VAT, where harmonization is nothing new, the extent to which the Member States apply the directives correctly depends very much on earlier situations and the way they conceived the implementation of rules flowing from the 6th Directive and Article 95 of the Treaty. Adaptation to the single market often, in fact, seems to consist of little more than rewriting the rules without changing practice; the quality of the result in Community terms suffers.

2.3.2. Application of Article 95

This year a set of proceedings commenced against Greece for infringement of Article 95 were terminated when VAT legislation was amended to remove differential tax treatment. They concerned seriously discriminatory taxation of imported coffee, excessive tax burdens on imported spirits (chiefly whisky, gin and rum) in comparison with the burden borne by domestic products such as ouzo and liqueurs, and tax on imported silver-plated cutlery at rates designed to protect domestic manufacturers. Following removal of discriminatory measures in response to the judgment given by the Court of Justice on 17 November 1992 (40), the Commission was able to terminate the proceedings commenced on the ground that the full rate of consumption tax was applied to imported cars using traditional technologies (i.e. without anti-pollution devices) whereas cars made in Greece were subject only to the reduced rate. But the proceeding relating to discriminatory taxation of second-hand cars imported from other Member States continues.

The Netherlands came into line with the Commission's views on the practice of subjecting home-produced fortified wines to a lower rate of tax than similar wines made in other Member States, notably in Italy and Spain (Sherry); imported products are now taxed at the same rate as domestic products.

Likewise Belgium responded to Commission action for the harmonization of excise duties by removing its discriminatory taxation on 'pétillant de raisin` imported from other Member States.

Outstanding infringement proceedings against Belgium, Italy and Luxembourg in the matter of beer excise duties (tax treatment of seepage in the manufacturing process) were also terminated as those Member States have now correctly transposed the new Community rules (valid from 1 January 1993) on the structure and rates of excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages.

On 2 August the Court of Justice held that France had failed to comply with its obligations under Article 95 by maintaining and operating a scheme of VAT penalties in relation to imports from other Member States that was more severe than in the case of domestic offences.

2.3.3. Application of directives

In monitoring the implementation of VAT directives, the Commission commenced proceedings in three new cases - Greece's scheme of taxation on passenger travel, cruises and package tours, and the French and German schemes whereby there was excess flatrate compensation for VAT in agriculture (forestry in particular). But the proceeding against Germany was terminated when it brought its flat-rate compensation rules into line with Directive 77/388/EEC.

The proceeding against Germany's VAT rules for travel agencies was terminated when Germany took the requisite measures to comply with the judgment given against it by the Court of Justice on 27 October 1992.

On 1 December the Court gave judgment confirming its earlier preliminary ruling to the effect that the Danish employer's contribution was incompatible with Article 33 of the 6th VAT Directive; the contribution has now been abolished.

The Commission has been at considerable pains to monitor compliance with the Community rules governing tax-free allowances for travellers. Proceedings continued against Spain for its failure to notify the Commission of measures to give effect to Council Directive 83/182/EEC (tax exemptions on temporary importation of means of transport). And the Court of Justice gave judgment against Greece on 2 August for failure to comply with the directives on tax exemptions on temporary and permanent importation of means of transport.

Proceedings against Italy in related matters were terminated when Directives 83/181/EEC and 83/183/EEC were at last transposed into Italian law; two judgments had already been given by the Court of Justice under Article 171 of the Treaty but had not been complied with.

The Court gave judgment against Spain on 9 June 1992 for requiring presentation of a special invoice as a condition for tax exemption on exports to other Member States; Spain duly complied and the Commission terminated its proceeding.

Regarding the directives on excise duties on manufactured tobacco, judgment was given against Italy on 28 April in an action brought by the Commission for maintenance of legislation that did not meet the requirement of Directive 72/464/EEC that the freedom of manufacturers and importers to determine maximum prices for tobacco imported into Italy be referred to expressly. Italy has since then changed its legislation as required. But no effect has been given to the judgment given against France in Case C-169/87 under Article 171.

2.3.4. Judgments given by the Court of Justice

An important part of the Commission's work consists of enforcing compliance with the law stated by the Court of Justice in Article 177 cases. From 1986 to 1991, for instance, Spain did not comply with the rule in 'Schul` concerning double taxation of imported second-hand goods. Talks are in progress with Spain to secure a satisfactory solution. A similar case involving France has been terminated now that the complainant has obtained satisfaction following Commission intervention.

The abolition of tax frontiers on 1 January 1993 effectively settled the cases under discussion with several Member States (Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain) who were not in compliance with the rule in 'Ledoux` (judgment given on 6 July 1988) concerning temporary tax exemptions given to residents using a vehicle supplied by their employer based in a neighbouring country.

>TABLE>

2.4. Free movement of persons and right of establishment

2.4.1. Ban on discrimination

The Commission took Spain to court for maintaining in force its rules discriminating against nationals of other Member States regarding museum admission charges (Case C-45/93).

Infringement proceedings are in motion against several Member States for breaches of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 on the freedom of movement of workers.

Of the five infringement proceedings in motion at the end of 1992 concerning equal access to employment on board ship (against Belgium, France, Greece, Italy and Spain), the two against Greece and Spain were terminated following changes to national legislation. In the case against Belgium, the Court of Justice gave judgment for the Commission.

The Commission pursued several proceedings to secure equal access for all Community nationals to social benefits. In a case against Luxembourg (Case C-111/91) the Court of Justice gave judgment on 10 March, holding that the residence requirements imposed as a condition of eligibility for maternity benefits were contrary to Community law (Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 and Article 18 of Regulation No 1408/71).

The case against Belgium, concerning the national legislation withholding finance for university studies from students from other Member States who live in Belgium solely for the purposes of studying there unless they pay the supplementary admission fees, was taken to the Court of Justice (Case C-47/93) when Belgium failed to make the requisite changes to its law.

In other cases in this area, the Commission addressed reasoned opinions to Belgium (study grants for a government-sponsored exchange scheme between Belgium, Luxembourg and the United States; and unemployment benefits for young first-time job seekers), Greece (formalities required of Community nationals wishing to teach foreign languages; tax exemptions for imports of cars by handicapped persons) and France (protection against the risk of job losses for expatriate workers). The last of these cases was terminated when the French authorities responded in a satisfactory manner. And a further proceeding against Greece (refusal to allow concessionary rail fares) was also terminated.

In cases concerning equal treatment of Community workers in terms of tax advantages, and specifically on discriminatory aspects of national legislation governing the final payment of income tax by non-resident workers, the proceedings brought against Germany and Luxembourg under Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68, as interpreted by the Court of Justice in Case C-175/89 Biehl are continuing. The case against France was terminated.

In another case against Germany, relating to discriminatory provisions whereby children and other family members living outside the country are disregarded for purposes of family benefits is still in motion.

2.4.2. Entry and residence

2.4.2.1. Commission action

Since 1 January 1993, when the objective of full freedom of movement set by Article 7a of the EC Treaty (formerly Article 8a of the EEC Treaty) was to be attained, the Commission has been receiving complaints from individuals that they have still been required to produce evidence of identity when crossing the Community's internal borders. The Commission, having observed that in point of fact freedom of movement has not been fully attained, has stepped up it efforts to see that there is no further delay in reaching an objective that is so fundamental to Community integration.

To that end it has taken a two-stage approach:

- initially, while continuing to take political initiatives, it will keep up the pressure on the Member States to translate the progress announced for 1993 into reality;

- then it will take stock of the action that has actually been taken and consider the need for further measures, without relaxing the political pressure.

When it reaches this second stage, it will decide what action should be taken on the complaints it has received.

France, Germany and the United Kingdom have still to transpose Directives 90/366/EEC (right of residence) and 19/365/EEC (right of residence for retired people). Reasoned opinions have been sent.

The Member States' obligation to comply with Directive 90/366/EEC (right of residence for students) is unaffected by the judgment of the Court of Justice annulling it, since the Court declared that it should continue to have effect pending adoption of a new directive to replace it (41). But the Commission has not pursued the infringement proceedings against the Member States (Belgium, France, Germany and United Kingdom) that have not transposed it since it did not wish to put a question-mark over the Council's proceedings for enactment of the replacement Directive (93/96/EEC of 29 October 1993).

There is still an abundant flow of letters and complaints concerning the issue of visas to nationals of non-member countries who are members of Community nationals' families. Under Community law the Member States are required to issue visas free of charge and to make all facilities available. Despite the Commission's reminders, the consular services of some Member States are still not complying fully but demanding various documents (certificates of employment and resources, information regarding purpose of stay, address during stay, etc.), imposing excessive qualifying periods and charging for visas.

>TABLE>

2.4.3. Trade union rights

On 4 July 1991 the Court of Justice held that Luxembourg legislation withholding voting rights in trade associations from Community workers was contrary to Community law (42). Luxembourg has changed its legislation accordingly.

The Court of Justice has not yet given judgment in the action brought by the Commission against Luxembourg for withholding the right of Community workers to stand for election (Case C-118/92).

2.4.4. Access to employment in the public service

On 25 July 1990 the Commission commenced Article 169 infringement proceedings against all the Member States who were in breach of Community law relating to the four priority areas of the public service (public education, civilian research, operational public health services and public bodies managing commercial services) (43).

In 1992 it issued a series of reasoned opinions concerning education in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain, civilian research in Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain, public health services in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain, and commercial services in Belgium (four cases), France (one case), Greece (four cases), Italy (five cases), Luxembourg (three cases) and Spain (three cases). An additional reasoned opinion was addressed to Italy in respect of access to employment in public bodies. Given the importance and complexity of these cases, the Commission took the exceptional step of allowing four months for action.

It is clear at the present stage of proceedings that all the Member States support the Commission's approach. There are no fundamental objections to opening up public service employment to Community nationals but the implementation is a source of varying difficulty in each Member State.

Some of the Member States continued making the necessary reforms in 1993:

- Belgium: employment in education and public transport;

- Spain: employment in maritime transport;

- Italy: employment in orchestras in public theatres.

Progress in certain Member States, notably Denmark, France and Portugal, was such that fifteen or so cases have been closed. But in some others (Belgium, Germany, Greece, and Italy) the legislative process is long and complex and more time will be needed. In Spain access to public service employment for Community nationals should now improve with the adoption of Law No 17/93 on 23 December 1993.

The Commission has also had occasion to issue reasoned opinions regarding access to public-service employment outside the four priority areas, notably in France (welfare assistants in a département), Greece (cellist at the Athens Opera) and Italy (violinist), but the Italian proceeding was withdrawn when the legislation was changed. However, Italy received a new reasoned opinion regarding access to university assistant lecturer posts.

2.4.5. Recognition of qualifications

The Commission received around forty complaints about restrictions contrary to Articles 52 to 59 of the EC Treaty and to the Directives on the mutual recognition of vocational qualifications. In some cases infringement proceedings were commenced; others were rejected as unfounded. The Court of Justice gave a number of important judgments on freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services.

2.4.5.1. Cases decided by the Court of Justice

The Court gave a series of preliminary rulings interpreting Articles 52 to 59 of the EC Treaty and the Directives enacted under Articles 49, 57 and 66. Noteworthy among them were the following cases:

- The preliminary ruling in Kraus concerning the use in one Member State of a university degree awarded in another Member State (44). The Court took its judgment in Knoors as a basis for holding that the fundamental freedom of movement would not be attained if Member States could withhold the benefit of Community law from those of their nationals who take advantage of the rights conferred by it to acquire a further degree and then wish to make use of it in their own country. The Court extended the argumentation applying to vocational qualifications to university degrees, proceeding from rights conferred by the Treaty itself. And it held that Articles 48 and 52 are applicable even where the degree is not a required qualification for a particular occupation but simply confers a competitive advantage on the labour market.

In the very important judgment the Court went further still, applying the principle of proportionality to Article 52 in much the same way as it applies to free movement of goods (Article 30) and services (Article 59), holding specifically that Articles 48 and 52 preclude all national measures relating to the use made of a university degree acquired in another Member State which, even if they impose no nationality discrimination, might make it more difficult or less attractive for Community nationals, including nationals of the enacting Member State, to exercise the fundamental rights secured by the Treaty.

Such measures might, however, be warranted on major grounds of the public interest, provided those grounds were borne out by objective considerations and the measure was in proportion to the objective to be attained.

- As for infringements by the Member States of Articles 52 and 59, the case commenced against in 1992 regarding the status of tourist guides in Spain is worth singling out.

Following the judgments given in actions brought by the Commission against France, Greece and Italy (45), proceedings were continued against Spain, where the legislation requires tourist guides to hold vocational qualifications acquired and recognized in Spain, even where they accompany closed groups of tourists for an entire journey from another Member State (Case C-375/92). The Advocate-General made his submissions on 15 December.

The following are noteworthy among the Article 171 cases for failure to comply with earlier Court of Justice judgments:

- The judgment given against Greece for a breach of Articles 48, 52 and 59 of the EEC Treaty in the form of a ban on nationals of other Member States setting up 'Frontistiria` and private music and dance schools, teaching at the pupil's home and from exercising managerial and teaching functions in schools (46). A further judgment was given against Greece on 30 January 1992 for failure to comply with that judgment (47). But despite the two judgments, Greece has still not rectified its legislation, a violation which the Commission regards as particularly serious.

- The judgments given against France, Greece and Italy in the tourist guides cases on 26 February 1991, with which none of the three Member States has yet complied.

- The judgment given in the double-surgery case (Case C-351/90 Commission v Luxembourg) is particularly interesting in that it follows on from two earlier cases, Klopp (48) and Commission v France (49). The Court of Justice held that Luxembourg was in breach of its obligations under Articles 48 and 52 by imposing a single-surgery rule for doctors, dentists and veterinary surgeons, without providing that practitioners established or employed in another Member State could establish a surgery or take up employment in Luxembourg while preserving their surgeries or employment in the other Member State. The rule was incompatible with the Treaty since it imposed restrictions and were liable to discriminate against practitioners established in other Member States or barriers to entry that were not warranted by considerations of general obligations required for the sound exercise of the relevant professions (50).

2.4.5.2. Commission action

(a) Infringements of the Treaty

A number of infringement proceedings relating to Articles 52 and 59 are now at the reasoned opinion stage.

Noteworthy is the proceeding against France for reserving for holders of its own national qualifications the right to exercise the occupation of estate agent. A scheme for scrutinizing qualifications awarded in other countries has now been set up, but the legislation needed to put it into operation has not yet been notified. Meanwhile proceedings have been commenced against Belgium for double taxation of service providers as regards payments for fidelity stamps and social security contributions paid by employers established in other Community countries for their employees.

(b) Notification of national measures implementing directives

Some Member States have responded to infringement proceedings by taking the requisite measures.

Examples are Belgium and Denmark (Directive amending the Directives on qualifications of doctors, nurses, midwives and veterinary surgeons; German unification Directive), Greece (architects) and Ireland (German unification Directive).

But others have still to notify the Commission of national implementing measures. Proceedings are continuing against France and Italy for failure to transpose the German unification Directive (90/658/EEC).

Greece has notified some measures to give effect to Directive 89/48/EEC (first general system), but as the Directive is transposed only in part the case was referred to the Court of Justice on 27 August (Case C-365/93). A similar case against the Netherlands was referred on 22 September (Case C-405/93).

(c) Incorrect transposal and incorrect application of directives

Discussions are in progress with several Member States regarding incorrect transposal or incorrect application of directives. Examples are Germany's transposal of Directive 89/48/EEC (first general system) as regards teachers and Spain's incomplete transposal of Directives 68/366/EEC (transitional measures for CITI classes 20 and 21) and 82/249/EEC (hairdressers) and incorrect application of Directive 77/453/EEC (coordination of nurses' training: the number of hours' theoretical and clinical training provided for national legislation is too low for the training to be treated as full-time). A case against Italy (Case C-40/93) was referred to the Court of Justice on 9 February for incorrect application of the dentists directive (dentistry practised by persons describing themselves as dentists contrary to the directive).

In some other cases the Member States have done what was necessary to bring their legislation into line with Community law; Greece, for instance, has rectified its rules applicable to veterinary surgeons (removing the ban on double surgeries and the need for a prior licence) and pharmacists (duration of practical training).

The Commission has pursued its scrutiny of national legislation that did not appear to transpose the Directives on pharmacists, dentists, doctors and architects correctly.

In Italy, Directive 85/432/EEC on pharmacists was incompletely transposed. Belgium's national implementing measures were not in conformity as regards the training scheme, and the German rules maintained the ban on double surgeries.

Other cases are in motion concerning access to the dental profession in Germany (requirements not allowed by the directive for entry in the social security where dentists have non-German qualification that are in conformity with the directive) and Spain (admission of dentists with qualifications obtained in Latin American countries at a level way below the directive's requirements).

The Commission has referred to the Court of Justice a proceeding against Spain for failure to provide remuneration for doctors in the course of specialist training (Case C-277/93). Moreover, Spanish legislation does not provide a procedure for establishing the equivalence of non-Spanish qualifications for admission to specialist training as required by Directive 75/362/EEC.

The Commission is pursuing its proceeding against Spanish legislation implementing the architects directive. It has been notified of draft measures to remove the provision confining the area in which holders of qualifications recognized in Spain to the country of origin, but is still investigating the restriction on the maximum period during which services may be provided in Spain.

>TABLE>

2.4.6. Independent commercial agents

Proceedings for failure to notify national measures implementing Directive 86/653/EEC relating to independent commercial agents are still in motion against Belgium and Luxembourg; the proceeding against Spain was terminated in 1992. Legislative work in hand in Belgium and Luxembourg looks set to yield the desired result.

Ireland and the United Kingdom enjoy a derogation valid until 1 January 1994.

2.5. Consumer policy and product safety

2.5.1. Commission action

Progress in transposing and applying consumer legislation continues to improve, reaching a 97 % success rate for the first time. The rate of year-on-year improvement is 3 %.

There is cause for concern about the implementation of Directive 90/314/EEC relating to package tours; most Member States have not yet transposed it, though the deadline was the end of 1992.

The situation is also unsatisfactory as regards Directive 90/88/EEC (second consumer credit directive), transposed in only a small majority of the Member States. Proceedings are continuing; the defaulting Member States have received reasoned opinions. Ireland and Spain have still to transpose the first consumer credit directive (the deadline was 1 January 1990), this directive is of particular importance to consumers and the Commission regards the failure as very serious. Reasoned opinions were sent to both Member States in 1992. The case against Spain is now before the Court of Justice (Case C-390/93).

Belgium and France received reasoned opinions for incorrect transposal of the directive on contracts negotiated away from business premises.

The Commission is receiving regular complaints about the application of Directive 84/450/EEC on misleading advertising; problems arise particularly in cross-border business and a detailed study has been launched.

The infringement proceedings against Belgium concerning toy safety were terminated when Directive 88/378/EEC was properly transposed.

The situation regarding the cosmetics directives also leaves to be desired. France has still not transposed Directive 76/768/EEC although the Court of Justice gave judgment against it in May (51); the case is similar to the Greek case in which the Court gave judgment in March 1992. The Commission is now scrutinizing the amended Greek legislation. Proceedings for incorrect transposal are still in motion against Portugal and Spain; reasoned opinions were sent in 1992.

On 10 December Spain enacted measures to give effect to Directives 88/314/EEC (price labelling of non-food products) and 88/315/EEC (foodstuffs).

>TABLE>

C. COMPETITION

1. COMMISSION ACTION

Directive 93/84/EEC of July 1993 amended Directive 80/723/EEC on the transparency of financial relations between the Member States and public undertakings.

The 1980 Directive requires the Member States to notify the Commission, where it considers it necessary, of a wide range of information on transactions between governments and public enterprise that might constitute State aid, and in particular:

- the setting-off of operating losses;

- the provision of capital;

- non-refundable grants, or loans on privileged terms;

- the granting of financial advantages by forgoing profits or the recovery of sums due;

- the forgoing of a normal return on public funds used;

- compensation for financial burdens imposed by the public authorities.

All the Member States had implemented it.

The July 1993 amendment was designed to put the notifications on a regular, systematic footing to allow ex post on major manufacturing enterprises (with a turnover in excess of ECU 250 million).

Spain is the only Member State that has sent implementing measures. They are now under scrutiny.

The Commission continued working to enforce its telecommunications directives:

- Directive 88/301/EEC of 16 May 1988 on competition in the market for telecommunications terminal equipment has been transposed in all the Member States. Belgium has introduced transitional measures to remove restrictions on free trade in telephone receiver sets. But difficulties remain with the physical distinction between public network connections and the terminals whose marketing is to be liberalized by the directive. The problem arises particularly with X-25 terminals and RNIS connection points;

- Directive 90/388/EEC of 28 June 1990 on competition in the market for telecommunications services has been transposed by all the Member States except Greece and Italy. The Commission has continued its discussions with other Member States that began in 1992 on the conformity of measures taken to liberalize telephone services supplied to limited categories of users.

By Article 3 of the Directive, Member States planning to impose technical specifications for the supply of data transmission services must notify the Commission of their drafts by 30 June 1992. Belgium, France and Spain have done so. The Commission approved the Belgian draft on 5 July 1993. Spain adopted its draft on 28 May without awaiting Commission approval. Its text reflects a number of remarks made by the Commission but could still create difficulties on individual points. Bilateral talks are in progress.

On 20 July 1993 Italy presented its draft specifications, but they are of no effect as the services were liberalized by the direct effect of the directive in the Italian legal order from 1 January 1993.

The Commission has remained vigilant as to the enforcement of Community law applicable to State monopolies.

Early in 1994 it will address a Decision under Article 90 (3) to Denmark on the subject of ferry transport. The Danish Government refused to give access to the Rødby port facilities to a competitor of the state-owned company DSB, and refused to give it a licence to construct a new port. The twin refusals, for which there is no apparent technical justification, have the effect of erecting a barrier to entre by any competitor of DSB to the market for ferry services between Rødby in Denmark and Puttgarden in Germany. The Commission sees this as a breach of Articles 90 (1) and 86 of the EC Treaty and will ask the Danish Government to put an end to it.

In response to another Article 90 proceeding, the Italian Government issued Decree-Laws enacting urgent measures in relation to port works to adjust its rules in line with Community law. The proceeding was commenced after the Court of Justice gave its preliminary ruling in Port of Genoa, holding that 'Article 90 (1) of the EEC Treaty, in conjunction with Articles 30, 48 and 86 of the Treaty, precludes rules of a Member State which confer on an undertaking established in that State the exclusive right to organize dock work and require it for that purpose to have recourse to a dock-work company formed exclusively of national workers` (52). But this was not incorporated in national forced to renew the measures notified by eight successive Decree-Laws, most recently in December 1993. Although the offending monopoly has been abolished, the measures adopted by an emergency procedure leave to be desired, notably in relation to the discretionary powers of port authorities in the matter of self-handling, uncertainties as to the technical criteria for authorizations, the priority given to staff of the former monopoly for recruitment purposes and the absence of detailed rules to govern concessions of port areas and terminals. The Commission is accordingly continuing to ask Italy to genuinely and definitively abolish the monopoly.

The Commission has scrutinized the Portuguese and Spanish legislation to adjust their oil monopolies to the requirements of Articles 48 and 208 of the Act of Accession, and the infringement proceedings have now been terminated as a result.

In 1993 the Commission did not refer to the Court of Justice the infringement proceedings relating to gas and electricity import and export monopolies as some Member States seemed to be envisaging changing their legislation and this held out hope for a settlement of the proceedings. But practical measures have not yet been enacted.

>TABLE>

D. EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL POLICY

1. INTRODUCTION

On the basis of Articles 48 to 50, 100, 117 to 127 and 235 of the EC Treaty, the Community drew up several legal instruments with a view to the improvement and progressive harmonization of living and working conditions.

The range of such social legislation has been greatly expanded in recent years. Following the adoption of the Community Charter of the Fundamental Social Rights of Workers in 1989, the Commission adopted an action programme to ensure a minimum level of provision, bearing in mind the need to prevent abusive social practices and any distortions of competition, to strengthen economic and social cohesion, and to help create employment. Almost all the proposals contained in the action programme have been presented to the Council, which has adopted inter alia the Directives on the health and safety of workers. Many of these Directives came into force in 1993: the Commission has concentrated on monitoring their transposal into national law.

2. SITUATION IN THE VARIOUS SECTORS

2.1. Equal treatment

For the purposes of implementing Directive 76/207/EEC on equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, the Commission had referred to the Court of Justice a specific case of discrimination against women under the occupational schemes for supplementary redundancy payments (53). On 17 February the Court held that, by maintaining in force legislation which rendered female workers over the age of 60 ineligible for the supplementary redundancy allowance payable under Belgian law, Belgium had failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 119 of the Treaty.

On 25 October 1988, France had been censured by the Court for incomplete transposal of Directive 76/207/EEC. Where the retention of customs, clauses of employment contracts and collective agreements recognizing special rights for women was concerned, France had amended its legislation following the Court's ruling. The new law, however, still allows a two-year period for collective agreements to be brought into line with the Community rules, and the amendments notified are still unsatisfactory. The Article 171 proceedings commenced in 1990 are accordingly being pursued.

Pending clarification in the light of the Barber judgment, the Commission has suspended the infringement proceedings initiated against six Member States (Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) for failure to notify national implementing measures. These countries have genuine problems with the transposal of Directive 86/378/EEC on equal treatment of men and women in occupational social security schemes.

2.2. Anti-cancer campaign

The Council has adopted a number of directives as part of the anti-cancer campaign. Only the Netherlands has failed to transpose Directive 90/239/EEC concerning the maximum tar yield of cigarettes, and infringement proceedings are continuing.

In the case of Directive 92/41/EEC (labelling of tobacco products), which should have been transposed by 1 July 1992, letters of formal notice were sent to all Member States for their failure to notify national implementing measures. The proceedings initiated against Belgium, Denmark, Greece and the United Kingdom, who have now notified such measures, have been closed. Transposal is complete in Portugal and Italy, Decree-Laws having been published in late 1993.

2.3. Social security for migrant workers

A reasoned opinion was sent to France for its refusal to totalize insurance periods in cases where unemployed persons had their benefits sent abroad. These proceedings have been closed, the French authorities having confirmed that they are now applying the Community rules as required by the Commission.

The proceedings against Germany for the exclusion of migrant workers from other Member States from the benefits of the bilateral Swiss-German agreement on unemployment insurance have been closed following the Court of Justice's preliminary ruling in Case C-23/92 Grana Novoa. The Court held that a bilateral social security convention between a Member State and a non-member country was not national 'legislation` within the meaning of Articles 1 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71.

The proceedings against Belgium for unsatisfactory implementation of the Court's ruling on the calculation of pensions were also closed, Belgium having complied with the Community rules.

On 1 October 1992 (54) the Court of Justice held that the institution in the Member State of residence which is responsible for paying unemployment benefits may not apply to the remuneration on which the calculation of such benefits is based the ceilings in force in the Member State of employment. It also ruled that the last remuneration received in the Member State of employment was to be converted at the official rate on the day of payment. The French authorities, to whom a reasoned opinion had been sent in 1992, subsequently notified the Commission that the necessary steps had been taken to comply with the Court's interpretation of the Community rules and the infringement proceedings in question were closed.

2.4. Working conditions

Worker representation in British firms depends on a decision by the employer to recognize representatives. This is the major point in dispute between the Commission and the United Kingdom as regards the transposal of Directives 75/129/EEC on collective redundancies and 77/187/EEC on maintenance of workers' rights in the event of transfers of undertakings. For these and other reasons the Commission referred the matter to the Court of Justice in 1992 (Cases C-382/92 and C-383/92, still pending).

Following the Court's ruling of 8 November 1990 (55), in which it found that the Greek legislation did not comply with 80/987/EEC on the protection of workers in the event of their employers' insolvency, the Commission sent a letter of formal notice to the Greek authorities (on the basis of Article 171 of the Treaty) with a view to the implementation of this judgment. So far, however, there has been no satisfactory outcome.

As regards Directive 91/533/EEC on an employer's obligation to inform employees of the conditions applicable to the contract or employment relationship, the Commission sent letters of formal notice to Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom for their failure to notify national implementing measures. Following notification of such measures, however, the proceedings against the United Kingdom have now been closed.

2.5. Health and safety at work

In the case of Directive 86/188/EEC, which is designed to protect workers against noise, only Luxembourg had failed to notify national implementation measures. The Commission having referred the matter to the Court of Justice in 1993 (Case C-77/93), Luxembourg complied with the Community rules. The Commission then discontinued the proceedings.

In the Case of Directive 91/269/EEC, which relates to electrical equipment for use in mines susceptible to firedamp, Belgium and Italy have still to notify national implementing measures. These Member States received a letter of formal notice in 1992. The proceedings initiated against Greece, Luxembourg, Portugal and the United Kingdom were closed in 1993.

The end of 1992 was the deadline for the implementation of several Community Directives on health and safety at the workplace. The Commission had to send numerous letters of formal notice to the Member States which had failed to notify implementing measures. Following the notifications received from certain Member States, some proceedings were closed but others are still in progress.

In the case of Directive 89/391/EEC, the framework Directive on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work, infringement procedures continue against Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain for their failure to notify implementing measures. The proceeding against the Netherlands will be terminated following notification by the Dutch authorities.

Proceedings are still continuing in respect of the Directives adopted pursuant to the framework Directive, namely Directives 89/654/EEC (safety and health at the workplace), 89/655/EEC (safety and health requirements for the use of work equipment), 89/656/EEC (personal protective equipment) 90/269/EEC (manual handling of loads involving a risk of back injury), and 90/270/EEC (work with display screen equipment), 90/394/EEC (risks related to exposure to carcinogens at work).

Italy is the only Member State which has failed to notify measures to implement Directive 91/382/EEC amending Directive 83/477/EEC (protection of workers against asbestos).

Proceedings are still in progress against Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain for non-compliance with Directive 91/383/EEC supplementing the measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers with a fixed-duration or temporary employment relationship. The proceeding against the Netherlands will be closed as national implementing measures have now been notified.

Lastly, in 1994 the Commission will send letters of formal notice to all Member States for their failure to notify measures implementing Commission Directive 91/322/EEC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents at work.

E. AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

As may be gleaned from the section on the free movement of goods, the free movement of agricultural products within the Community made substantial progress in 1993, apart from the blocking of imports into Portugal. As already pointed out, this improvement was due to the member States' progressive implementation of the 'White Paper` Directives, in many cases accompanied by substantial recasting of national legislation and far-reaching reorganization of the competent departments.

Although, generally speaking, the Member States have made great efforts, the very size of the task and the need to make up the ground lost in earlier years led to an increase in the number of infringement procedures initiated in 1993 (52 more than in 1992). This was particularly true of the veterinary sector.

It should be pointed out, however, that in many cases Member States gave priority to practical implementation rather than the redrafting of laws, in order to meet the deadline set for 1 January 1993.

In monitoring the application of the agricultural rules, the Commission focused its attention on Member States' use of the production control mechanisms (particularly in the milk sector), their compliance with the Community rules on the description of agricultural products and the ending of government price-fixing at any stage covered by a market organization.

The Commission also continued its endeavours to end certain abuses perpetrated by the Milk Marketing Boards in the United Kingdom and to make Italy comply with the rulings of the Court of Justice, which had twice censured Italy for its persistent refusal to enforce the quality standards applicable in the fruit and vegetable sector.

Lastly, the Commission notes that Member States have finally seen the need to comply with the procedures for the prior notification of the technical standards required by Directive 83/189/EEC, as amended by Directive 88/182/EEC.

2. AGRICULTURAL LEGISLATION

Whilst working towards the removal of technical barriers to the free movement of agricultural products, the Commission has also endeavoured to ensure that the other provisions of the Community's agricultural legislation are genuinely and properly applied.

(a) The Commission, which is responsible for monitoring the application of specific market-organization mechanisms, continued to keep a close watch on the use of the production control mechanisms, particularly in the milk sector, where it conducted a systematic analysis of the national measures to implement Regulations (EEC) Nos 3962/92 and 536/93.

The Commission sent a reasoned opinion to France, which, when redistributing the quantities released under a Community programme for the cessation of milk production, excluded producers in hill-farming areas, in breach of the Community rules.

(b) The Commission also turned its attention to non-compliance with the Community rules on the description of agricultural products.

In the milk sector it sent a reasoned opinion to the United Kingdom, which allows non-milk products (soya-based drinks) to be marketed as 'soya milk`. Regulation (EEC) No 1898/87 prohibits any description including the word 'milk` being applied to products other than milk as such or milk products.

In the spirits sector the Commission initiated proceedings against France for allowing drinks containing a mixture of whisky and other spirits to be given a description containing the terms 'whisky` and 'spirit`, e.g. 'whisky spirit` or 'spiritueux au whisky`, in breach of Regulation (EEC) No 1576/89.

(c) The Commission took steps to end the system of minimum prices for olive residues imposed by Italy in breach of the market organization for oils and fats. The Court has consistently ruled that this market organization is comprehensive and does not permit any unilateral national measure.

(d) The Commission also continued its endeavours to put an end to certain abuses perpetrated by the Milk Marketing Boards in the United Kingdom. The UK authorities have failed to ensure that the MMBs do not overstep the exclusive purchasing rights conferred by the Community rules (Article 25 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1422/78).

Although Case C-40/92 concerning the MMB's restriction of the options available under the Community rules (which allow producers to process their milk and market the by-products independently of the Boards) is still pending before the Court of Justice, the United Kingdom has adopted new legislation (the Agriculture Act 1993) which should radically alter the position.

The Agriculture Act 1993 provides that the five MMBs are to submit reorganization plans, on completion of which the Boards will be abolished and replaced by producers' cooperatives.

These plans will be scrutinized by the competent Ministers in the light of the criteria laid down by the Act.

The Commission is particularly interested in how the assets in question will be shared out among producers, for it is determined to ensure that the principle of the open market is observed when the cooperatives are set up and that producers are free to join or not join a cooperative, without any financial penalty. Otherwise the Commission could not approve the plans.

The Commission is taking a particularly cautious approach because certain infringement proceedings are still in progress and will influence the method used to distribute assets when the Boards are wound up.

The Commission will ensure that these problems are fully resolved.

(e) Lastly, in the context of market-organization mechanisms, the Commission must single out Italy's persistent refusal to comply with the Court's ruling of 12 February 1987 in Case C-69/86 (56), in which the Court censured Italy under Article 171 of the EEC Treaty for failure to comply with the judgment given against it on 15 November 1983 in Case C-322/82 (57) for failure to observe the rules for the enforcement of quality standards in the fruit and vegetable sector.

After many years of inaction, the Italian authorities have finally made some real progress and have in particular adopted a new Ministerial Decree (58) amending Decree No 339 of 2 June 1992 in line with Regulation (EEC) No 2251/92 on quality inspection of fresh fruit and vegetables, which standardizes inspection methods at Community level. On 10 June 1993 an administrative circular laid down detailed rules for implementing the said Decree.

As the question of specific penalties has still to be resolved, however, the Commission has kept this case under scrutiny.

3. AGRICULTURAL DIRECTIVES

3.1. General remarks

The completion of the single market called for the adoption of a large number of agricultural directives on the reorganization of veterinary and plant health inspections and the sectors still to be harmonized at Community level.

Particularly in 1991 and 1992, Member States faced a heavy additional workload to ensure that these directives were transposed and implemented.

Aware of the substantial problems insolved, the Commission endeavoured, by means of bilateral meetings with the Member States and closer cooperation with national administrations, to heighten Member States' awareness of the need for transposal.

In 1993 Commission staff reviewed the transposal of the agricultural directives with the national authorities, visiting Greece, Italy and Spain for this purpose.

Although the pressure exerted by the Commission has undoubtedly produced positive results, 349 infringement procedures under Article 169 of the Treaty had to be initiated in 1993 against Member States which had failed to notify measures implementing the agricultural directives. For the fourth year in succession, therefore, the number of infringement proceedings initiated has increased although the increase recorded in 1993 (+ 48) was less marked than in previous years (+ 57 in 1990, + 75 in 1991, + 99 in 1992).

This latest increase in infringement proceedings may be attributed to the fact that, at the beginning of 1993, there were already substantial delays affecting the directives due for transposal by 1 January 1993. Member States duly endeavoured to make good the delays but this meant that they were unable to prepare, in time for 1 January 1993, the measures needed to transpose the directives scheduled to take effect on that date.

Not only quantitative factors have led to these delays, however. Since many of the Directives concerned are designed to harmonize sectors not yet covered by the Community rules, the Member States have been obliged in many cases to recast all the relevant national legislation. Moreover, implementation of the Community measures to complete the single market has not only required substantial amendments to national legislation but has also necessitated a far-reaching reorganization of national bodies, entailing changes in procedures, staff numbers and infrastructures.

Politically committed to ensuring that the single market would operate smoothly from 1 January 1993 onwards, Member States were forced to give practical reforms priority over legislative reform.

All Member States encountered difficulties with transposal, as may be seen from the figures for the letters of formal notice sent to Member States under Article 169 of the Treaty: the number of infringement procedures initiated ranges from 17 (against the Netherlands) to 39 (against Portugal).

The number of reasoned opinions issued by the Commission increased substantially (from 12 in 1992 to 123 in 1993), as a result of the delays in transposal which had built up in 1992.

In 1993 the Commission referred to the Court only three cases where a Member State (Belgium on each occasion) had failed to transpose agricultural directives. Given the number of reasoned opinions issued in 1993, however, a considerable increase in the number of referrals is to be expected in 1994.

In ten cases the Commission discontinued proceedings before the Court, the Member States concerned having met their obligations.

3.2. Situation in individual Member States

As the deadline (1 January 1993) for implementing the single market approached, the warnings issued by the Commission and, in all probability, pressure from the business interests concerned induced certain Member States to take special measures to speed up transposal of the Directives listed in the White Paper. Belgium, Italy and Luxembourg, which have frequently been criticized for their slowness in transposing directives, made a considerable effort in late 1992 and early 1993, so that the number of infringement procedures initiated against these Member States in 1993 was kept down to 20, 24 and 26 respectively. Only the Netherlands, against which 17 proceedings were initiated, did better.

In Belgium the progress achieved has also reduced the number of reasoned opinions issued.

In Luxembourg, however, the situation is completely different, the Commission having been obliged to send twenty reasoned opinions to this Member State (the highest figure for the whole Community).

By adopting a 'Community Law` for the transposal of directives relating to the completion of the single market, Italy has considerably improved its position.

Italy has also taken the necessary steps to put an end to five infringements which had been referred to the Court, so that in 1993 the Court had no occasion to censure Italy for a failure to notify implementing measures. There remains, however, the problem of the transposal into Italian law of Directive 89/360/EEC (brucellosis). Since the Court's judgment has not been implemented, the Commission has initiated Article 171 proceedings against Italy.

Although Italy undeniably made good progress towards the transposal of the agricultural directives in 1993, a new 'Community Law` will have to be adopted if Italy is to put an end to most existing infringements and to transpose the bulk of the directives due for implementation by 1 January 1994.

As predicted in the last annual report, Portugal notified the Commission in January 1993 of the final national measures implementing the directives already in force at the time of Portuguese accession in 1986. Further efforts are still required, particularly in the veterinary sector, if an acceptable level of transposal is to be attained.

Certain Member States have unfortunately remained insensitive, at least in terms of legislation, to the challenge represented by the completion of the single market.

Such has been the case in France and Ireland, which have not only had the slowest rate of transposal but have transposed virtually none of the plant health or veterinary directives relating to the abolition of frontier controls.

In Greece the situation gives just as much cause for concern. Greece has, however, transposed the directives concerning the abolition of veterinary checks at frontiers.

By the end of 1993 the rate of transposal was highest in Denmark and the United Kingdom, where, despite the large number of infringement procedures initiated (32), the delays in transposal are rapidly being made good.

In Germany, on the other hand, the Commission has found that the situation is worsening, little having been done in the course of the year to put an end to infringements either once proceedings were initiated or once a reasoned opinion had been issued.

3.3. Situation in individual sectors

Transposal of the directives on seeds and seedlings was postponed in most Member States until the Community adopted implementing rules. These rules having been adopted in 1993, much better progress should be made in 1994 with the transposal of Directives 92/33/EEC (vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed) and 92/34/EEC (fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production). All the infringements (by Italy and Luxembourg) referred to the Court were brought to an end in the course of the year and the cases in question removed from the Court's register.

In the feedingstuffs sector, infringement proceedings were initiated for the first time against Portugal for its failure to notify measures implementing the relevant directives. The transposal of Directive 90/167/EEC on medicated feedingstuffs continues to pose widespread problems, since no less than six Member States have failed to take the necessary measures, despite the issue of reasoned opinions.

In the plant health sector a considerable number of infringement procedures were initiated because of the delay in transposing the directives on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or their propagation.

As in previous years, however, it is in the veterinary sector that the situation gives greatest cause for concern. Directives relating to veterinary matters account for no less than 189 of the 300 infringement proceedings initiated and 91 of the 123 reasoned opinions issued in the agricultural sector in 1993. Almost all the proceedings relate to a failure to transpose directives adopted with a view to the completion of the single market. The delays encountered have been mostly attributable to the number and the nature of the directives to be transposed (they often cover areas in which there has hitherto been no harmonization at Community level).

The delays are considerably extended in those Member States where legislative procedures are lengthy or where the competent departments suffer from a shortage of staff. The transposal of the four directives on the removal of veterinary checks at internal frontiers and the organization of Community checks at external frontiers (Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 90/675/EEC and 91/496/EEC) has been particularly difficult. Considerable progress was nevertheless achieved in 1993: only France and Ireland have still to transpose the said Directives.

A more specific problem has arisen in Ireland and the Netherlands as regards the transposal of the directives relating to artificial insemination and stockbreeding. On 2 August 1993 the Court censured the Netherlands (59) for failing to adopt national measures for the transposal of Directives 87/328/EEC (pure-bred bovine animals for breeding), 88/661/EEC (breeding pigs - zootechnical standards), 89/361/EEC (pure-bred sheep and goats for breeding), 90/118/EEC (pure-bred pigs for breeding) and 90/119/EEC (hybrid pigs for breeding), although a law creating the legal basis for transposal had been adopted in September 1992.

In Ireland some progress was made in that the necessary legislative measures were adopted to comply with the Court's judgment of 17 November 1992 (60) censuring that Member State for its failure to transpose Directive 87/328/EEC by 1 January 1989.

In the meantime Ireland has transposed Directives 88/407/EEC and 90/120/EEC, with the result that proceedings before the Court have been discontinued. On the other hand, Ireland incurred the Court's censure (61) for its failure to transpose Directives 88/661/EEC, 89/361/EEC, 90/118/EEC and 90/119/EEC.

3.4. Application of Directive 83/189/EEC (technical standards) in the agricultural sector

In 1993, pursuant to Directive 83/189/EEC laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations, as amended by Directive 88/182/EEC, the Commission examined in the light of the Treaty and the relevant secondary legislation 40 draft technical regulations relating to agriculture.

Having systematically analysed the drafts, the Commission requested amendments in most cases to ensure that adoption of the regulations concerned would not create new obstacles to the free movement of goods (reasoned opinions and/or observations). In other cases Member States were instructed to maintain the status quo for twelve months from the date of notification, either because the Commission intended to present a proposal to the Council or because the planned measures were covered by a proposal for Community legislation which the Commission had already presented to the Council and which would replace the national measures concerned.

The Commission also monitors Member States' compliance with the obligation to notify all legislation containing technical standards or rules pursuant to Directive 83/189/EEC, as amended by Directive 82/182/EEC where agriculture is concerned.

The infringement procedures initiated in 1991 and 1992 for non-compliance with Article 8 of Directive 83/189/EEC had a positive effect on the Member States in the sense that they realized the need to follows the notification procedure and forward to the Commission the drafts of any legislation laying down technical rules.

Now that Member States previously in breach of the rules have adopted the habit of systematically notifying any draft falling within the scope of Directive 83/189/EEC, the number of proceedings relating to non-compliance with the notification procedure laid down in that Directive has shown a sharp drop, which is tangible proof that Member States are implementing the Directive more scrupulously. Although about 60 non-notified legislative texts were examined, only four infringement proceedings were initiated.

>TABLE>

F. FISHERIES

1. INTRODUCTION

The situation in the fisheries sector showed little change from 1992. To ensure the consistency of the conservation arrangements, the Commission continued to monitor the fishery control measures which Member States must apply on their territory and within their waters. It has also kept a close watch on national fisheries legislation, particularly as regards the granting of flag rights, with a view to assessing the compatibility of national rules with Community law.

2. SITUATION IN INDIVIDUAL SECTORS

2.1. Markets

Member States' application of the Community rules on the compulsory notification of the data required under the market organization may now be considered satisfactory. The judgment given on 27 November 1990 in Case C-209/88 has now been fully implemented by the Italian authorities.

2.2. Resources

To enforce the Community arrangements for the conservation and management of fish stocks, the Commission continued to give special attention to the measures taken by Member States to ensure observance of the fishing quotas allocated to them.

On 8 June 1993 the Court gave judgment in Case C-52/91, finding against the Netherlands in the matter of overfishing in 1986 and endorsing the position which the Commission has consistently adopted on this issue.

Infringement proceedings continued against the United Kingdom (overfishing in 1985, 1986, 1988 and 1990), the Netherlands (overfishing in 1987, 1988 and 1990), France (overfishing in 1988, 1990, 1991 and 1992), Denmark (overfishing in 1988), Spain (overfishing in 1990) and Belgium (overfishing in 1990).

Neither the Court's judgment of 11 June 1991 (62), when it found that France had failed to ensure adequate enforcement of technical measures for the conservation of stocks, nor that of 25 July 1991 (63), when it held that Spain had failed to comply with Community conservation measures for waters outside the Community fishing zone, have yet been properly implemented by the Member States concerned.

Infringement proceedings continued against Spain (failure to check landing declarations against the data recorded when the fish was sold; refusal to cooperate with Commission inspectors) and France (failure to prosecute breaches of the Community rules concerning logbooks).

3. COMPATIBILITY WITH COMMUNITY LAW OF NATIONAL LEGISLATION ON THE GRANTING OF FLAG RIGHTS

Mention should be made of the important rulings given on 25 July 1991 in Factortame II (64) and on 4 October 1991, when the Court ruled against the restrictive conditions contained in the UK legislation on the granting of national flag rights to fishing vessels (65). The Member State concerned has since introduced amendments to remove these conditions from the legislation in question, and the corresponding measures should shortly enter into force.

On the other hand, the Irish authorities have so far failed to implement the judgment of 4 October 1991, where the Court ruled against Irish legislation requiring nationals of other Member States to set up an Irish company before obtaining a licence for sea fishing (66).

In conjunction with the proceedings against the UK legislation on the granting of flag rights to fishing vessels, the Commission also reviewed the legislative position in the other Member States. It emerged that almost all the other Member States had similar national rules whereby the granting of fishing licences and/or flag rights was subject to conditions of nationality, residence and/or main place of establishment. Reasoned opinions have now been issued by the Commission in all the infringement proceedings initiated against the other Member States.

The United Kingdom has now implemented the Court's judgment in Case C-146/89 Commission v United Kingdom concerning the baselines to be applied under Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 (since replaced by Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92).

G. ENVIRONMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. General situation

The main new Community initiatives were the adoption of the Fifth Environmental Action Programme (67) and Directive 91/692/EEC on the harmonization of national reports on the implementation of directives by means of periodic questionnaires to simplify the task of the Member States. These instruments reflect the new trend in environmental policy and usefully reinforce the facilities for monitoring the application of Community law in terms of its efficiency and of the concept that all are responsible.

The Fifth Action Programme (towards sustainable development) provides for new instruments to improve the practical implementation of Community environmental law. In support of the activities of the Community institutions, forums are set up for dialogue to improve the preparation of measures and coordinate and monitor their application (a general consultative body, a network of those responsible for practical application and a general monitoring group).

The functions of these various bodies will be to generate awareness of responsibilities borne by those in charge of these things in a framework of partnership and to ensure that Community environmental measures are applied correctly and transparently.

The harmonization of national reports offers hop for the future; the questionnaires designed with the Member States will give the Community access to comparable data on the implementation of environmental directives, enabling it to proceed from information supplied from official sources instead of relying on complaints from individuals and questions from Members of the European Parliament.

If the number of complaints received by the Commission appears to have fallen, this is partly because the Commission is now merging cases for treatment together where the nature of the problem or the legal instrument infringed is identical.

1.2. Failure to notify national implementing measures

As previous reports already stated, there is a problem with the time taken to enact national measures implementing directives. In most cases the delays are attributable to problems of administrative coordination.

Action taken on cases of failure to notify in 1993 breaks down as follows:

- 90 Article 169 letters (95 in 1992);

- 26 reasoned opinions (18 in 1992);

- 7 cases referred to the Court of Justice (4 in 1992);

- 53 cases were terminated (63 in 1992).

During the report period fourteen directives fell due for transposal.

The full list of environmental directives is given at point 3 and progress in implementing them is summed up at Annex IV.

1.3. Conformity of national measures implementing directives with Community law

The number of proceedings commenced for incorrect transposal has remained broadly stable since 1988. In 1993 the Court of Justice gave judgment in four such cases, the Commission issued twelve reasoned opinions (two of them for failure to give effect to earlier judgments) and one new Article 169 letter, relating to an Article 171 proceeding. Four proceedings were terminated when the infringement was remedied.

The distribution of powers between Belgium's component regions is still a source of difficulty. Problems of compatibility of Belgian national implementing measures concern in particular waste, water and nature conservation.

No infringement proceedings were commenced against Denmark for incorrect transposal. The rare cases where there is cause to object are usually cleared up with the rapid adoption of measures that comply with Community law without any need for infringement proceedings. The Commission would stress here the excellent cooperation from the Danish authorities, who virtually always supply concordance tables to highlight the practical effect given to individual articles of directives in Danish law; its task is all the easier as a result.

In Germany, there is still a serious problem of conformity in the transposal of directives by circular. The planned legislation to replace circulars has yet to be enacted. The area chiefly concerned is water quality; measures to solve air quality problems have now been taken.

Although Greece often takes over the full text of the Community directive and incorporates it into national law, some directives are not properly transposed. The Commission is pursuing its bilateral talks with the Greek authorities with a view to resolving the difficulties.

There has been a number of infringement proceedings for incorrect or incomplete transposal in France relating to waste, water and nature conservation.

In 1993, the Commission notified four reasoned opinions to Ireland for failure to fully and properly implement certain environmental directives, relating to impact assessment, waste, protection of wildlife and radiation protection.

By and large, Luxembourg national implementing measures display a good conformity rating. But Directive 85/337/EEC (impact assessment) is one of the rare exceptions.

The Dutch legislation tends to impose more stringent requirements than those imposed by the directives, as is allowed under Article 130t of the Treaty. The few problems of conformity that arise are concentrated in a limited number of areas (wild birds and drinking water).

There are problems of non-conformity in Portugal (air quality, waste and water), Spain (environmental impact assessment, waste and nature conservation) and Italy (water, waste, laboratory animals and wild birds).

In the United Kingdom the problem areas are impact assessment, wild birds and air quality.

1.4. Incorrect application of directives

Incorrect application of environmental law in various parts of the Community is most commonly detected through complaints from Community citizens and through questions put by Members of the European Parliament.

The directives that create the greatest difficulties are those relating to waste, discharges into the aquatic environment, the protection of wild birds and environmental impact assessment.

The Commission issued fourteen reasoned opinions to Member States and sent an Article 171 letter to Italy concerning the dumping of waste in Campania (Case C-33/90 Commission v Italy).

The Court of Justice gave two judgments for the Commission on 2 August 1993.

The main problems of practical application in Belgium arose from the water Directives.

No cases of incorrect application of Community law in Denmark were brought to the Commission's attention. The Commission's informations is that Community environmental law is being applied in a generally satisfactory manner there.

In Germany the main problem areas as regards practical application were the waste directives and water quality in the new Länder.

In Greece, there has been no substantial change in the position since last year's report, the chief difficulties concerning wild birds, waste and air quality. The number of complaints about the impact assessment directive is still rising.

The main issues covered by complaints in Spain are nature conservation, impact assessments, water and waste.

In France, problems chiefly concern the application of the wild birds and impact assessment directives.

In both Ireland and the United Kingdom, problems of application of directives are encountered primarily in matters of water quality (bathing waters, shellfish waters, drinking water).

Specific problems arise in Italy with the application of the impact assessment and wild birds directives.

The difficulties encountered in the application of the waste and water Directives in Luxembourg flow from the fact that these Directives impose the same obligations on the smallest of the Member States as on the largest, where they are already found difficult to perform.

The main problems of practical application being scrutinized by the Commission in the Netherlands relate to wild bird protection and the designation of special protection areas and wetlands.

Problems in Portugal cover a range of environmental directives, but waste and water account for the bulk.

1.5. Structural Funds and other sources of Community finance

The Community's 5th Environmental Programme, adopted on 1 February 1993, envisages financial support mechanisms as one of four categories of instrument that will be used to further environment policy. There are now several such mechanisms.

LIFE - the financial instrument for the environment - entered its second year of application (68).

The Commission was notified of the plans and programmes implementing Regulation No 2078/92 on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements for the protection of the environment and the countryside. This regulation aims to reinforce Community legislation on water pollution and habitat protection.

Article 130d of the Treaty on European Union provides for the creation of a Cohesion Fund to benefit four Member States - Spain, Portugal, Greece and Ireland. It is to be devoted to environmental investments and trans-European transport networks. Pending ratification of the Treaty, the Community adopted Regulation No 792/93 on 30 March 1993 establishing a cohesion financial instrument. Under Article 2 of this Regulation, Cohesion Fund assistance may be granted for, among other things, environmental projects contributing to the achievement of the objectives of Article 130r of the EC Treaty. In 1993 approximately 300 environmental projects, covering waste disposal facilities, sewage treatment plants, water supply and nature conservation measures, were submitted for approval.

The integration of environmental concerns has been reinforced by new provisions in the Structural Funds Regulations, which were formally adopted in July (69). They provide for the inclusion in national and regional funding plans of a national or regional environmental appraisal, an evaluation of the sustainability of the proposed development strategy and details of the consultation arrangements with the competent environmental authorities.

Through these various instruments the Commission is contributing to the application of Community law. It is to be hoped that the Member States will use a significant proportion of their new Structural Fund allocations to finance projects aimed at protecting and rehabilitating the environment.

1.6. Freedom of access to information on the environment

I January 1993 was the date appointed for full transposal in all Member States of Directive 90/313/EEC on freedom of access to information on the environment. Three Member States - Germany, Greece and Italy - have yet to notify their national implementing measures (even though in Italy, transposal was provided for in the 1991 Community Act). In Germany, pending the enactment of federal legislation, the Länder are giving direct effect to the Directive.

All the instruments notified by the Member States are now undergoing detailed scrutiny for conformity with the provisions of Directive 90/313/EEC (70).

Practical implementation has given rise to complaints which have brought problems of both incorrect implementation and incorrect application to light. The bulk of the complaints are received from Belgium, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom. Most cases of incorrect application relate to the definition of 'environmental information` or to the categories exempted by the Directive so that information is withheld.

In the absence of national implementing measures enacted within the time allowed, the citizen enjoys a direct right of access under the provisions of the Directive which are directly applicable.

1.7. Environmental impact assessment

The lion's share of infringements of Community environmental directives relate to Directive 85/337/EEC, which is a comprehensive instrument applying at all levels of responsibility. Failure to assess the impact of specific projects is the commonest subject of complaints to the Commission.

The Commission is concentrating on securing greater conformity of national legislation with the Directive; contacts continue with Spain, and reasoned opinions were addressed to Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom.

But Luxembourg has still not notified its measures, and the Commission referred the case to the Court of Justice in June (Case C-313/93). The existing Luxembourg measures fall short of the Directive's requirements, notably as regards road infrastructure projects.

An action has been commenced against Germany in the Court of Justice (Case C-431/92) for omitting to undertake a proper impact assessment before constructing an waste oils incineration facility.

All but three projects covered by Annex II to Directive 85/337/EEC (environmental impact assessment) are excluded from the Spanish legislation, contrary to Articles 2 and 4. Given the frequency of complaints, the Spanish authorities have informed the Commission of their intention to remedy the matter, but the complexity of the procedure is such that this will only be done in 1994.

The Commission addressed a reasoned opinion to Italy for failure to transpose Annex II properly. But in December 1992 the Italian authorities issued a circular reproducing the Commission's interpretation of the concept of high-speed road, this being the subject of many of the complaints received by the Commission.

The Commission considered that Irish legislation is insufficiently stringent in regard to determining the need for impact assessment for certain types of project (for example, initial afforestation and peat extraction) and the sort of information which a developer should provide. It also considered that inadequate provision had been made for consultation of the public and other Member States. The Irish authorities have indicated a willingness to make certain legislative changes.

The United Kingdom was sent a reasoned opinion for failing to apply Directive 85/337/EEC to projects which were submitted for approval before the Directive became due for transposal but were not granted authorization until after that date. The reasoned opinion helped to persuade the UK authorities to abandon the East London River Crossing project.

The national courts are more and more fully involved in enforcing Community law in environmental matters, as earlier reports suggested. To take the example of the Somport tunnel in France, the Pau Administrative Court gave judgment on 2 December 1992 annulling the Order of the Préfet of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques declaring the construction of the tunnel and its access roads to be a public-interest project, on the ground that Directive 85/337/EEC had been wrongly applied. The principle that the citizen may rely on an environment directive in an action against a Member State in the courts was thus translated into reality.

1.8. Measures needed

The Commission intends to concentrate on the prevention of infringements, in particular through:

- action to be taken in response to new thinking generated by the Green Paper on civil liability;

- the integration of environmental considerations in other Community policies (Article 130r (2)); first steps in this direction were taken in relation to agricultural production techniques and rural conservation measures by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 of 30 June 1992 (71);

- practical development of dialogue forums for the improvement of Community environment law and monitoring facilities.

2. THE SITUATION SECTOR BY SECTOR

2.1. Waste

The Commission is still awaiting national measures implementing the Directive on batteries containing dangerous substances (91/157/EEC) from most Member States, only Denmark, Luxembourg and the Netherlands having notified. Article 169 letters have been sent to all the Member States for failure to notify national measures implementing the Directive on batteries and accumulators containing dangerous substances (93/86/EEC).

The Commission was able to terminate the proceeding against Belgium for non-conformity of national measures implementing the titanium dioxide Directive, and there is progress in complying with the judgment given in 1988 concerning incorrect transposal of the Directive on disposal of PCBs (72). But no effect has yet been given to the judgment given in December 1986 for incorrect transposal of the Directive on cross-border shipments of waste, and the Article 171 proceedings are in motion.

Belgium, Denmark and Portugal have transposed Directive 91/156/EEC on waste. The Commission is awaiting notifications from the other Member States.

At the end of 1992 the Commission commenced an action in the Court of Justice to have the German legislation implementing Directives 75/442/EEC, 78/319/EEC and 84/361/EEC (waste, toxic waste and cross-border shipments) declared ou of order on the ground that it excluded waste for recycling and gave priority to treatment of waste within Germany. The Commission also criticized the inadequacy of the dangerous waste disposal programmes produced to give effect to Directive 78/319/EEC.

In Greece the problems regarding waste are the same as before - waste is dumped in various places without concrete environmental and human health protection measures. These problems were highlighted by the judgment given by the Court of Justice for failure to comply with Directives 75/442/EEC (waste) and 78/319/EEC (toxic waste) in relation specifically to the dump at Kouroupitos in Crete (73).

Proceedings are also in hand against Portugal for failure to notify the programmes to cut the volume of containers of liquids for human consumption required by Directive 85/339/EEC.

The implementation of regional and local waste treatment plans in Spain is behind schedule, and numerous complaints have been received about waste being dumped in open wells at various places. The outcome is a serious public health hazard of the kind that Directive 75/442/EEC seeks to outlaw. As the previous report stated, the Commission has no information on the programme to reduce the tonnage and volume of packagings for liquids for human consumption (Directive 85/339/EEC). The Court of Justice has given judgment against Spain (74), but the Commission has still not been notified of a programme. And where programmes have been notified, as in the case of the national toxic waste treatment programme, the information they contain is not in accordance with Directive 78/319/EEC.

The programmes required by Directive 85/339/EEC (containers of liquids for human consumption) have still not been adopted and notified by France, despite the judgment given by the Court of Justice in Case C-252/89 (against Luxembourg) to the effect that there is an obligation to prepare and notify such programmes (75).

A reasoned opinion was addressed to Ireland concerning Directives 75/442/EEC on waste and 78/319/EEC on toxic and dangerous waste. The Commission has challenged the fact that, contrary to those Directives, Irish local authorities have been given exemptions from the need for authorizations for their waste facilities (complete in respect of the first Directive, partial in respect of the second). The Irish authorities have accepted the Commission's arguments, and are committed to regularising the position in comprehensive new waste legislation.

2.2. Water

There are relatively few delays in notification of measures to transpose the water directives falling due in 1993. National measures implementing Directive 91/217/EEC (urban waste water) are still awaited from Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom and measures implementing Directive 90/415/EEC (dangerous discharges into the aquatic environment) are awaited from Greece.

The qualitative progress reported for 1992 in the conformity of national legislation continued in 1993.

The problem of legislation implementing the groundwater Directive (80/68/EEC) has been settled in Spain and is on the way to a solution in France, but a second judgment has been given in the Court of Justice against Belgium (Walloon Region and to some extent the Brussels Region) (Case C-174/91).

The position in relation to Directive 80/778/EEC (drinking water) has improved in Luxembourg and Germany, which has now given effect to the judgment given against it by the Court of Justice in November 1992 (76). But reasoned opinions have been addressed to Italy and the Netherlands regarding the conformity of their legislation.

Problems of correct application are rare, but they often take time to settle.

After receiving a reasoned opinion in 1993, the United Kingdom authorities have announced measures, to be introduced gradually over a period extending until 1995, to comply with the judgment given by the Court of Justice regarding conformity with the drinking-water Directive (80/778/EEC) (77).

The quality of drinking water in the new Länder has not yet reached the desired level despite the German authorities' efforts (but Directive 90/656/EEC does allow them until 1995). The Council was obliged to agree to extension of the deadline for application in the new Länder of the Directives governing discharges into the aquatic environment as facilities in use there turned out to be even more obsolete than was thought at the time of unification.

A reasoned opinion was addressed to France on the subject of the excessive levels of pesticide residues in drinking water permitted by two administrative circulars.

A French Ministerial Order of 26 April 1993 amends the Order of 10 July 1990 prohibiting discharges of certain substances from industrial plant into groundwater. The result is an improvement in the implementation of Directive 80/68/EEC (protection of groundwater against pollution by certain dangerous substances), which should have been transposed by December 1981.

The position regarding bathing waters (Directive 76/610/EEC) is improving: Spain has sent in quality improvement plans, which are under scrutiny, and the Commission has been able to terminate its proceeding against Luxembourg.

Ireland's lack of implementation in Bantry Bay of Directives 79/923/EEC on the qualities required of shellfish waters and 76/160/EEC concerning the quality of bathing water was the subject of a reasoned opinion. The reasoned opinion also challenged Ireland's failure to provide a proper statutory basis for implementing Directive 79/923/EEC and its failure to fully transpose the criteria of Directive 76/160/EEC for identifying bathing waters which must be protected under the Directive.

The Court of Justice gave judgment against the United Kingdom in July for failure to preserve the quality of bathing water at Blackpool and neighbouring areas of Southport, contrary to Directive 76/610/EEC (78).

There are problems with the conformity of Italian legislation designating shellfish waters (Directive 79/923/EEC; a reasoned opinion has been sent) and fish waters (78/659/EEC; a second action has been commenced in the Court of Justice (Case C-291/93)).

No Member States have complied with their obligation under Article 7 of Directive 76/464/EEC to adopt and notify programmes to reduce pollution of the aquatic environment by discharges of dangerous substances. The Commission has addressed reasoned opinions to France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and Portugal.

The water pollution controls introduced in France by Act No 92-3 on 3 January 1992 will have considerable implications for the application of Community directives since new schemes such as the SAGE (water use and management schemes) will be grafted on to the measures already in place to give effect to the directives.

Infringement proceedings for incorrect application of the Directive are in motion against Portugal.

2.3. Air

There are no serious problems either of transposal or of conformity. But there are a few exceptions. The Court of Justice gave judgment against Belgium for non-conformity of national implementing measures with Directives 85/207/EEC (nitrogen dioxide) (79), and the Commission has referred Luxembourg's national measures implementing Directive 84/360/EEC (industrial plant) to the Court. The British legislation on air quality standards (nitrogen dioxide - 85/203/EEC) makes inadequate provision for sampling techniques and observation stations in relation to the country's surface area. But the Commission is glad to report that the authorities have responded to a reasoned opinion by amending the offending legislation in line with the Directive's requirements.

The Commission is not satisfied with the efforts by government departments in the Member States to discharge their obligation to insist that new industrial plant use the best available technologies not imposing excessive cost burdens (Directive 84/360/EEC). For existing plant, the situation is even worse. There are widely divergent interpretations of the concept of best available technologies not imposing excessive cost burdens in the Member States, whohave not always notified the Commission of the policies and strategies they have adopted for the gradual adaptation of existing plant. But the situation has improved in comparison with earlier years, thanks to the BATNEEC notes prepared by the Commission with the assistance of the Member States for a number of industries.

The situation regarding information on effect given to obligations imposed by the air quality directives (80/779/EEC on SO2 and suspended particulates; 82/884/EEC on lead; 85/203/EEC on Nox) has not evolved. The main air quality problems concerning pollution in Athens subsist. The situation is not apparently improving, despite the efforts made by the Greek authorities. The solution would not seem to lie in a series of individual measures but rather in a detailed air quality improvement programme of the kind required by Directive 80/779/EEC (sulphur dioxide); Greece should have notified this by October 1981. The Commission is actively looking into the matter.

Work done in 1993 under Directive 91/692/EEC (rationalization and harmonization of reports) for the elaboration of questionnaires for the transmission of information required by the air quality directives should improve the situation in the near future.

Two Member States (Belgium and Ireland) have yet to notify the Commission of their programmes to cut pollution from large combustion plants as required by Directive 88/609/EEC. The Commission is working on comparisons of programmes, though the information supplied by the Member States is of uneven quality. The Member States are behind schedule with the transmission of emission data for 1993.

2.4. Noise

A Bill to implement the aircraft noise Directive (92/14/EEC) in Germany has been presented, but no date has been stated for its enactment. Implementing measures are still outstanding in France, Italy and Luxembourg.

Confirming the trend described in previous reports, the application of the noise directives raised no significant problems in 1993. The directives set emission standards for newly marketed products but contain no provisions regulating ambient noise from a diversity of combined sources. Consequently the Community has no power to tackle problems of urban noise such as that generated by traffic jams or industrial plant. No problems of noteworthy importance are to be reported for this area in 1993.

2.5. Nature protection

On 2 August the Court of Justice gave a significant judgment against Spain concerning the status and protection of the Santoña marshes, an important bird habitat in northern Spain (80). The Court accepted the Commission's argument that the area should be recognized as requiring protection under the wild birds Directive (79/409/EEC) since it hosted large numbers of certain vulnerable species, and that the Spanish authorities had failed to provide an adequate level of protection. The Case served to clarify several points of interpretation of the Directive's bird habitat protection provisions.

In some cases satisfactory solutions have been found. The proceeding concerning application of Directive 79/409/EEC to the Bay of Cadiz, for instance, was terminated when pollution control measures were taken, the authorities having commenced the procedure for designation as an Article 4 special protection area.

Many of the French cases brought to the Commission's attention reveal combined infringements of Directives 79/409/EEC and 85/337/EEC.

The Nantes Administrative Court has applied to the Court of Justice under Article 177 for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of Article 7 (4) of Directive 79/409/EEC (wild birds) as regards the close season for shooting certain species.

In Belgium, problems of conformity of legislation with the wild birds Directive (79/409/EEC) continue to arise in both Wallonia and Flanders. In Flanders, insufficient protection measures have been taken for the designated areas, whereas in Wallonia there are problems with the shooting rules despite a judgment given by the Court of Justice (81). The Commission issued a reasoned opinion under Article 171 on 25 May. Belgium has yet to notify the Commission of measures to give effect to the Directive on conservation of wild birds (91/244/EEC).

Denmark, Greece, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are still behind schedule with the transposal of Directive 91/244/EEC amending Directive 79/409/EEC on wild birds.

Greece has still not designated a sufficient number of special protection zones for the conservation of wild birds (Directive 79/409/EEC), and it has not demarcated the designated zones with adequate precision or taken practical protection measures for them.

In Italy problems subsist with the application of Article 4 (special protection areas).

In the Netherlands there is a problem with the wild birds Directive (79/409/EEC), on which the Court of Justice gave a second judgment in 1992 (82). Despite Commission pressure to have the relevant clauses of the Flora and Fauna Bill 1989 brought into line with the Directive, there is no evidence of progress here and the Article 171 proceedings are continuing. The Commission is pursuing its talks with the Dutch authorities to have several special protection areas and wetlands designated for the purposes of Directives 79/409/EEC and 85/411/EEC.

2.6. Chemicals

Discussions are in progress with several Member States regarding Directives 82/501/EEC and 88/610/EEC on major industrial accident hazards.

Emergency plans and other measures prescribed by the former are to be established by the Member States, but their application in many specific industries is not yet secured.

The Commission, in cooperation with the Greek authorities, is using all the means at its disposal to have this Directive properly applied; it hopes thereby to avoid recurrences of accidents such as that which occured at the Petrolla-Ellas refinery in September 1992.

A reasoned opinion was addressed to Ireland for incorrect transposal of the laboratory animals Directive (86/609/EEC) and the case against Luxembourg for failure to notify the full set of national implementing measures was referred to the Court of Justice. Talks are continuing with Italy and the United Kingdom to seek solutions to some outstanding problems of conformity.

Italy has still not notified national measures implementing the asbestos Directive (87/217/EEC) and there are problems of conformity in several other Member States. The adaptation of Dutch law to the asbestos Directive (87/217/EEC) requires the enactment of six separate instruments; the Commission is supporting the Dutch authorities.

Greece, Luxembourg and Spain have not notified national measures implementing Directives 90/219/EEC and 90/220/EEC on genetically modified organisms, and reasoned opinions were issued. Problems of conformity of legislation enacted in France and Germany are under discussion with the Commission.

All Member States have notified national measures implementing the Directives on good laboratory practice (87/18/EEC and 88/320/EEC).

2.7. Radiation protection

Italy is still behind schedule in implementing the radiation protection directives, notably the basic Directive (80/836/Euratom, deadline December 1982) and the amending Directive (84/467/Euratom, deadline April 1986). It has not complied with the judgment given by the Court of Justice on 7 May 1991 (83) and the Commission has issued a reasoned opinion under Article 171.

By and large directives are correctly transposed, the exception being Luxembourg. Infringement proceedings commenced against Ireland were terminated when national legislation was amended to transpose the directives correctly. When scrutinizing national implementing measures for conformity with the directives, the Commission had regard to the draft instrument to revise standards and to the ruling by the Court of Justice that the Member States were entitled to set stricter standards than those allowed by the Directive (84).

Despite the vital importance of informing the population about radiation emergency risks, pointed up by the Chernobyl accident, only five Member States (Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom) have notified full measures giving effect to Directive 89/619/Euratom. France and Germany have notified some measures, but they are incomplete. Article 169 letters have been sent to Luxembourg and the Netherlands and reasoned opinions have been addressed to Italy and Portugal. The Commission is particularly attentive to the tendency of the Member States to put a restrictive interpretation on the Directive's scope. The Directive is not confined to protection of people living in the neighbourhood of a nuclear power-station but seeks also to protect those who are exposed to the risk of an emergency arising from other uses of nuclear energy. Germany is the only Member State that has notified the Commission of measures to give full effect to Directive 90/641/Euratom on the radiation protection of outside workers (deadline 31 December 1993); the United Kingdom has simply notified a draft set of standards by the procedure of Euratom Treaty Article 33.

The Directive on the radiation protection of medical patients (84/466/Euratom) has turned out to be difficult to transpose on account of its very broad-ranging subject-matter (notably involving training of doctors and paramedical staff, inventories and acceptability criteria for treatment facilities, and the monitoring and replacement of facilities) and of the fact that it is drafted in general terms. The Commission pursued its infringement proceedings against six Member States for incorrect transposal; reasoned opinions were addressed to Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. In June the Court of Justice held that Italy was in breach of its obligations to implement the Directive, since its unpublished circular, having no mandatory status, did not properly transpose it into national legislation (85).

H. TRANSPORT

1. INTRODUCTION

The liberalization of substantial areas of the internal market in transport on 1 January 1993 as a result of legislation enacted in the course of the preceding years was the main factor influencing activities in monitoring the application of Community law in the report period. In addition, a series of directives applicable to technical, social and tax matters affect the harmonization of conditions of competition and their practical application is turning out to be most important for the sound operation of the common market in transport.

The useful progress in monitoring the application of Community law reported last year was maintained this year. Many infringement proceedings were terminated.

Cases were processed more quickly thank to simpler, better internal procedures and to new channels of communication with government departments in the Member States, which are more keenly aware of the importance of such matters.

Once again, the Commission has received a great number of complaints. They are better grounded than in the past, suggesting that firms and individuals are better informed of the rights and duties flowing from Community transport legislation.

2. SITUATION SECTOR BY SECTOR

2.1. Road transport

This was a good year. All the Member States except Portugal have adopted and notified national measures implementing Directives 90/398/EEC (vehicles hired without drivers), 92/7/EEC (technical characteristics of certain road vehicles) and 89/459/EEC (tyre tread depths).

Belgium and Italy are the only two Member States that have not enacted measures to transpose Directive 91/671/EEC (obligation to wear seat belts in vehicles weighing less than 3.5 tonnes, though both have notified the Commission of draft legislation. The Commission is scrutinizing the Portuguese measures for conformity.

Belgium, Denmark, Germany and Spain are the only Member States that have transposed Directives 92/54/EEC and 92/55/EEC (roadworthiness tests - brakes and exhaust emissions). The United Kingdom and France have each transposed one of the two. The Commission has commenced infringement proceedings against all the other Member States.

Infringement proceedings in the Court of Justice are continuing against Belgium and Italy for failure to transpose Directive 88/599/EEC (uniform procedures for applying the social Regulations on driving and rest periods and tachygraphs). The Commission withdrew its action against Luxembourg when implementing measures were notified.

2.2. Combined transport

Italy is persisting in its failure (already reported last year) to give effect to the judgment given by the Court of Justice on 7 May 1991, declaring that, by maintaining a licensing and quota scheme for combined rail/road transport between Member States and withholding licenses from individuals wishing to engage in such transport, it had failed to fulfil its obligations under Directive 75/130/EEC on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined rail/road carriage of goods between Member States. This is a blatant violation of Community law but is fortunately an exceptional occurrence. Incidentally, that Directive and all those amending it have now been replaced by the consolidating Directive 92/106/EEC, which recasts the provisions on the matter.

2.3. Inland waterways

Belgium has at last transposed Directive 82/714/EEC (technical requirements for inland waterway vessels), having had a first judgment given against it on 24 May 1988 and a second, Article 171 judgment on 10 December 1991 (86). Belgium's notification of implementing measures puts an end to an unacceptable protracted breach of Community law.

But Belgium has still not transposed Directive 87/540/EEC (access to the occupation of waterway goods carrier). The Court of Justice gave judgment against it on 26 February 1992 (87), and Article 171 infringement proceedings are now in motion. This is the most serious protracted case of breach of Community transport law currently pending.

Germany, however, transposed the Directive by Regulations entering into force on 1 January 1994.

2.4. Railways

Italy has not yet given effect to the Commission Decision of 18 September 1991 abolishing the support tariffs applied by the Italian railways to the carriage of bulk ores and products produced and processed in Sicily and Sardinia. Such tariffs are contrary to Article 80 of the EC Treaty, and the Commission has addressed a reasoned opinion to the Italian authorities.

2.5. Sea transport

In several Member States flag rights are dependent on the nationality of the owner of a registered vessel. Where the owner is an individual, she or he must have the country's nationality; where the owner is a company, nationals must hold a majority of the shares; in some cases there is a further requirement that all or at least most directors and managers be nationals; and the rules may further require the firm's principal establishment or place of business to be within the register State.

The Court of Justice, accepting the Commission's arguments, has held such requirements to be incompatible with Articles 7, 52, 58 and 221 of the EC Treaty (88).

Following a lengthy proceeding, the Commission addressed reasoned opinions to Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands in 1993. A reasoned opinion was addressed to Denmark early in 1994.

On 3 August the Commission referred to the Court of Justice its infringement proceedings against France relating to discriminatory dock dues. By the French Customs Code, dues are payable when a vessel uses port facilities in French territory for the embarkation or disembarkation of passengers coming from or going to a port in another Member State. The dues are lower where the ports of departure and arrival are both in France, and are charged only on embarkation. On 13 December 1989 the Court of Justice already held (89) that this was incompatible with Community law following the entry into force of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4055/86, which provides for freedom to provide shipping services. France has not yet given effect with the judgment.

2.6. Air transport

Portugal and the United Kingdom are the only Member States that have not implemented Directive 91/670/EEC (mutual acceptance of personnel licences for the exercise of functions in civil aviation), though the United Kingdom has put provisional regulations into effect and notified a full Bill.

While pursuing its infringement proceedings against these two Member States, the Commission throughout the year continued monitoring the application of the Directive and investigating problems arising in those Member States that had transposed it, having received complaints from which it appeared that it was being interpreted in a restrictive manner by the authorities of some of them.

>TABLE>

I. ENERGY

1. THE SITUATION SECTOR BY SECTOR

1.1. Transparency of prices

Directive 90/377/EEC (transparency of prices for final industrial users of gas and electricity) has been transposed by ten Member States. The French legislation still requires two implementing Decrees on administrative penalties and procedures. Spain is preparing implementing measures, but they are not yet in place. The infringement proceedings against the two Member States are continuing; those against Germany were terminated upon notification of national implementing measures.

1.2. Internal market in electricity and natural gas

Directive 90/547/EEC (transit of electricity) has been transposed in eleven Member States; in France it is applied de facto and formal transposition is in progress.

Directive 91/296/EEC (transit of gas) has been transposed in Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Transposal is in progress in France, Germany, Italy and Spain. No notification has been received from Portugal.

The infringement proceedings commenced against six Member States regarding exclusive rights to import and export gas and electricity are continuing.

1.3. Energy efficiency

Directive 92/42/EEC (efficiency requirements for new water boilers) has been transposed in the Netherlands. Article 169 letters have been sent to the other eleven Member States. Germany, Italy and Luxembourg are in the process of transposing the Directive.

Only the Netherlands has transposed Directive 92/75/EEC (indication of the consumption of energy and other resources of household appliances). Article 169 letters have been sent to the other eleven Member States. France, Germany and Spain are in the process of transposing the Directive.

1.4. Coal

The German Government has notified the Commission of the Kohlenrunde 1991, the coal industry restructuring, rationalization and modernization plans required by Decision 89/296/ECSC. The plans are undergoing detailed scrutiny for compatibility with Community law.

>TABLE>

J. EXTERNAL RELATIONS

The Commission sees continued cause for concern at the frequent failure to comply with obligations regarding prior information and consultation imposed by Council Decision 74/393/EEC on the negotiation of cooperation agreements between Member States and non-member countries.

Certain Member States unilaterally decided that from 1 January 1993 they would no longer apply the quantitative restrictions provided for by Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 on import arrangements for products originating in State-trading countries. The Commission has commenced proceedings against France and Germany.

K. COMMUNITY STAFF

The Commission issued a reasoned opinion in the course of the infringement proceedings commenced against Spain to secure the possibility of transfers of pension rights from national schemes to the Community scheme as provided by Article 11 (2) of Annex VIII to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities. Talks on the same subject are in progress with the Greek authorities.

Denmark taxes amounts payable into the Community pension scheme under Article 11 (2) of Annex VIII to the Staff Regulations. This may be contrary to the Staff Regulations.

Belgium responded to infringement proceedings by enacting legislation in May 1991 to permit transfers of pension rights using the technique of subrogating the Communities to officials' pension rights. A new Bill is under discussion with the Commission; it would provide for transfers of pension rights by officials who were previously self-employed and solve a few problems encountered in the application of the Act of 1991.

The Spanish authorities have responded to infringement proceedings under Article 12 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities by amending the legislation that raised barriers to imports of private vehicles by former Community staff. Once a few cases outstanding under the old legislation had been resolved, the infringement proceedings were terminated.

As for the abolition of the 'quotient conjugal` (aggregation of spouses' income for income tax assessment) as applicable to spouses of Community officials subject to Belgian income tax, an in-depth study has revealed a problem of compatibility with the Belgian Constitution. The Commission is accordingly giving legal assistance to those of its staff who might be affected (as required by Article 24 of the Staff Regulations). As a few cases are sub judice in Belgium, the Commission has suspended its infringement proceedings pending the outcome.

On a slightly different matter, Belgium has only partly complied with the judgment given by the Court of Justice on 5 April 1990 (90), holding that the 50 % reduction in the temporary salaries paid to teachers seconded to the European Schools was incompatible with Community law. Following the commencement of Article 171 infringement proceedings, salaries were reinstated at full rates and part settlements were made for past periods. The only sticking-point concerns the remainder of the arrears, which have yet to be paid.

L. STATISTICAL MATTERS

The Member States' obligations in statistical matters are to supply figures at predetermined intervals and in predetermined forms on specified questions. Infringement proceedings are in motion against Italy on account of the widely divergent figures for cattle herds supplied in response to Directives 73/132/EEC and 78/53/EEC.

At a bilateral meeting between Istat and Eurostat on 19 October 1993, it was concluded that a comparative study undertaken by Istat on the full range of findings from agricultural surveys and censuses would shortly yield encouraging results.

M. BUDGETARY MATTERS

The Commission addressed a reasoned opinion to Spain in 1993 with a view to obtaining payment of interest due on amounts paid out of time.

ANNEX VI

APPLICATION OF COMMUNITY LAW BY NATIONAL COURTS

1. Application of Article 177 of the EEC Treaty

In 1993 the Court of Justice received 204 requests from national courts for preliminary rulings in cases where difficulties arose in the interpretation of Community law or where there were doubts as to the validity of a Community instrument.

Over the last few years the number of cases referred has varied considerably - 142 in 1990, 186 in 1991, 162 in 1992 and now 204 in 1993.

For the fifth consecutive year, cases were referred by courts in almost all the Member State. Admittedly, there are disparities between the various countries, the extremes being Germany, with 57 referrals, and Ireland, with only one. But the figures show quite clearly that there is not a single Member State that is against the procedure on principle.

The two tables below show the number of references from each Member State and the number of cases referred by each court of final instance. It should be understood that when these cases are recorded by the Court of Justice Registry, they are always published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

>TABLE>

>TABLE>

2. Significant judgments of national courts of final instance

2.1. Introduction

In an appendix to the Tenth Annual Report, the Commission published a study of the attitudes of national superior courts to Community law, in particular their approach to the principle of primacy of Community law over national law, the direct effect of many Community rules and the obligations arising from Article 177.

Analysis of the judgment referred to below shows that national superior courts are paying more and more attention to Community law.

As in previous years, the Commission has had access to data gathered by the research and documentation department of the Court of Justice. It was thus able to identify decisions which were of significance for the application of Community law, although it should be pointed out that it is not possible, by consulting databases, to identify cases where national courts ought to have applied Community law but where the judgment contains no reference to it. Moreover, the Commission cannot undertake a systematic analysis of the thousands of judgments delivered each year by the national superior courts. Each year some 1 200 judments relating to Community law come to the attention of the Court's research and documentation department.

2.2. The research

Research was carried out on the following questions:

1. were there cases where decisions against which there was no appeal were taken without a reference for a preliminary ruling?

2. were there any cases where courts, contrary to the rule in Case 314/85 Fotofrost, declared an act of a Community institution to be invalid?

3. were there any decisions that were noteworthy as setting good or bad examples?

4. were there any decisions relating to the Union Treaty that merit special attention?

Decisions given or reported for the first time in 1993 were reviewed.

2.3. Question 1

On 19 January the French Court of Cassation held that it was not necessary to ask the Court of Justice for an interpretation of Commission Directive 88/301 of 16 May 1988 on competition on the markets for telecommunications terminal equipment (1). The accused was charged with offering telecommunications equipment for sale without informing potential customers which items had not received PTT approval. The Court of Cassation held that, since the Directive had not abolished type-approval procedures for equipment connected to the public telecommunications network, the question of interpretation was immaterial to the case. But while it is true that the Member States may impose type-approval procedures for equipment, the approval rules must be administered by a body independent of the public network management body (2).

Giving judgment on 29 March 1993 in its Case 6030 concerning the legality of a clause in a merchant shipping collective agreement whereby the rank of First Officer may be conferred only on persons having worked for a specified number of years on 'national vessels`, the Italian Court of Cassation held that the application for annulment of the clause must be dismissed as there was no violation of any rule of Italian law. In so ruling, it would appear to have disregarded the concept of indirect or covert discrimination propounded by the European Court of Justice, notably in social cases (3). Nor did it have regard to Article 48 (2) of the EC Treaty, which prohibits all forms of discrimination in terms of employment between workers from Community countries, even if practised indirectly, as was the case here, or to Article 7 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of 15 October 1968.

Moreover, in Kowalska and Nimz (4) the Court of Justice held as a matter of principle that a national court hearing a case involving indirect discrimination under a clause of a collective agreement must disapply the clause without waiting for the parties to the agreement to revoke it. The Italian Court of Cassation agreed that it was within the autonomous powers of the workers' and employers' organizations to privilege service on board ships flying the Italian flag as a means of countering foreign competition, so that in the absence of an explicit provision of national law rendering the clause void the labour courts had no jurisdiction to enter into technical considerations of this kind.

The Italian Court of Cassation gave judgment on 29 May 1993 in its Case 8390 concerning a dispute between a garment manufacturer based in France and a distributive firm based in Italy. There was an exclusive dealing agreement whereby, in addition to the price of goods supplied, the distributor was to pay a surcharge of 10 % by way of remuneration for the grant of exclusive rights in his territory. The case turned on a point of Community law, namely the compatibility of Article 2 of Decree-Law No 476/1956 on exchange controls which, at the time of the facts of the case, imposed the requirement for a ministerial authorization for contracts between residents and non-residents for dealings other than imports and exports of goods. The Court of Cassation declined to seek a preliminary ruling on the basis of the rule propounded by the Court of Justice on the interpretation of Article 177 in Cilfit (5). But in its analysis of the EC Treaty articles on free movement of capital, as interpreted by the Court of Justice, it did not consider the potential impact of applying the Treaty rules on freedom to provide services in the instant case.

2.4. Question 2

Research revealed no cases of this type.

2.5. Question 3

The judgment given by the French Conseil d'État on 23 July 1993 in Compagnie Générale des Eaux v Leachat denies the right of a firm to plead violation of Council Directive 90/531 of 17 September 1990 on the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors in support of an action against a decision of a municipal council renewing a water distribution contract without advance publicity. The Conseil d'État held that, whatever provisions the Directive might require the Member States to comply with, individual litigants may not rely on them in an action against an administrative act not constituting a piece of subordinate legislation. The Conseil has actually constantly so held since its judgment given on 22 December 1978 in Ministre de l'Intérieur v Cohn-Bendit.

In another judgment, given on 28 July 1993 (6), the Conseil d'État declared inadmissible a plea that a provision of national law was incompatible with a provision of Community law on the grounds, first, that it had not been raised in the court below and, second, that it did not raise an issue of public policy. But on 30 June 1993 the Grenoble Administrative Court had held the offending national provision to be incompatible with the Sixth Council Directive on a commn system of value added tax.

On 17 March 1993 (7), however, it held that the legislative provisions of Article 256 of the General Tax Code must be disapplied as conflicting with the Sixth Directive.

In Meagher v An Taoiseach the High Court of Ireland ruled that section 3 (2) of the European Communities Act 1972 was unconstitutional. That section empowered the executive branch to enact subordinate legislation amending or repealing primary legislation. Article 15.2.1 of the Constitution reserves the power to enact legislation for the Oireachtas (Parliament). The effect was to invalidate the Irish national measures implementing a number of directives. The case went to the Supreme Court, which set the High Court's decision aside on the basis of Article 29.4.5 of the Constitution, whereby no provisions of this Constitution invalidate laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the State necessitated by membership of the Communities. The Supreme Court held that, given the substantial volume of provisions of Community law the application or transposal of which had to be facilitated, the obligations flowing from Community membership were such that, in some cases at least, it was proper for them to be discharged by administrative rather than legislative procedures.

The same point of constitutional law arose in Portugal; the Supreme Administrative Court gave judgment in Case 13621 on 3 February 1993 declaring the Decree-Law providing for the collection of cereal import levies unconstitutional on the ground that it lacked the proper legislative basis required for an instrument imposing charges in the nature of taxes.

The administrative division of the Spanish Supreme Court, giving judgment on 24 April 1993 in Case 6091/90 concerning incompatibility of certain forms of tax relief allowed by legislation predating Community membership with Community law, accepted in the principle of the primacy of Community law over domestic law, constitutional law included, and disapplied the legislation allowing the relief. It gave judgment to the same effect in another case on 6 July 1993.

The social affairs division of the same court recognized the principle that the State is liable for failure to transport Council Directive 80/987 on protection of workers in the event of the employer's insolvency.

2.6. Question 4

The judgment given by the German Federal Constitutional Court of 12 October 1993 on the Maastricht Treaty makes in primacy of Community law over national law conditional on a precise delimination of the sovereign powers transferred to the union of states (Staatenverbund) and on absolute preservation of the immutable assurance offered by the Basic Law (Constitution). Germany would accordingly not be bound in law by instruments exceeding those powers or infringing those assurances. The Court reserved for itself the jurisdiction to review Community instruments in such circumstances.

In its opinion (declaración) of 1 July 1992 (8) the Spanish Constitutional Court held that the first paragraph of Article 8 b of the EC Treaty, providing for voting rights of nationals of the Member States to vote and stand at municipal elections and inserted by the Maastricht Treaty, was contrary to Article 13 (2) of the Constitution as regards the rights of Community citizens not having Spanish nationality to stand for election; constitutional reform would be needed to remedy the situation. Thereupon the two Houses of Parliament met in joint session (Cortes Generales) and proceeded to enact the requisite reform.

The French Constitutional Court likewise held on 9 April 1992 (9) that the first paragraph of Article 8 b of the EC Treaty was contrary to the fourth paragraph of Article 3 of the Constitution and that authorization to ratify the Maastricht Treaty by way of legislation would depend on its prior amendment. The amendments have since been made.

Questions concerning the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty by the British Government were raised in the High Court in R v Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, ex parte Lord Rees Mogg ([1993] 3 CMLR 101), an action for judicial review brought on three grounds.

First, by ratifying the Social Affairs Protocol, the Government was alleged to be in breach of the European Parliamentary Elections Act 1978, whereby no Treaty providing for an extension of the powers of the European Parliament may be ratified otherwise than by Act of Parliament. The applicant argued in particular that section 1 (2) of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993 provided for approval of the Treaty on European Union but not of the Protocols to it, and specifically not the Social Affairs Protocol, which was explicitly excluded from section 1 (1). The High Court dismissed the argument on the ground that, unlike section 1 (1), whose purpose was to incorporate certain parts of the Union Treaty into domestic law, section 1 (2) was to authorize the United Kingdom to ratify the Treaty en bloc, including the Protocols, without violating the 1978 Act. The word Treaty used in section 1 (2) was to be construed as embracing the whole Treaty, including all its Titles, Protocoles and Declarations.

Second, by ratifying the Social Affairs Protocol, the Government was altering the content of Community law as applicable in the United Kingdom without obtaining Parliament's go-ahead. The High Court dismissed the argument on the ground that the Protocol was not to be applicable in the United Kingdom and was not one of the Treaties specified in Section 2 (1) of the European Communities Act 1972. The United Kingdom's obligations under the Protocol were in international law and not in domestic law.

Third, by ratifying Title V (common foreign and security policy), the Government was transferring part of the royal prerogative - the conduct of foreign and security policy - to the Community institutions without Parliamentary approval. The High Court's response was that, even supposing it had jurisdiction to consider the question and even if it were true that the Government had no power to transfer the Crown's foreign policy prerogatives, Title V did not entail a transfer of prerogatives but a mode of exercising them. The argument was accordingly dismissed on the dual grounds, first, that the Court had no jurisdiction to hear it and, second, that even if it had had jurisdiction, it would have had to declare the arguments unfounded.
