  • [01] Rapport sur la mise en œuvre de l'assistance macrofinancière aux pays tiers en 1996

    En 1996, l'assistance macrofinancière déboursée par l'Union européenne (UE) s'est élevée à un montant total de 175 millions d'Ecus. Cette somme comprend 160 millions d'Ecus versés dans le cadre des engagements existants en faveur des pays de l'Europe centrale et orientale (PECO) et des nouveaux Etats indépendants (NEI) européens de l'ex Union soviétique. En outre, le Conseil a décidé en 1996 de mettre à la disposition d'un NEI européen (la Moldavie) un prêt d'un montant maximum de 15 millions d'Ecus, lequel a été entièrement décaissé cette même année. Depuis 1990, l'UE a accordé, sur base d'engagements, une assistance macrofinancière d'un montant de 4,047 milliards d'Ecus. Cette assistance prend généralement la forme de facilités de crédits à moyen et long terme non liés et à décaissement rapide. Les déboursements se sont élevés à 3,277 milliards d'Ecus. Telles sont les principales conclusions d'un rapport que la Commission européenne vient de transmettre au Conseil des Ministres et au Parlement européen.

    [02] An event marking the liberalisation of telecommunications in Europe (Bibliothèque Solvay, Brussels, 19 January 1998)

    The European Commission is organising an event to mark the arrival of full liberalisation of telecommunications in the majority of Member States of the European Union. The event is intended to highlight the impact of the opening up of Europe's telecommunications markets on business and users; but also to identify future challenges thrown up by liberalisation in the light of convergence, the Internet and global market opening. It will be opened by key note addresses of Ms Barbara Roche, President of the Telecoms Council, Mr Martin Bangemann, Member of the European Commission and Ms Imelda Read, Member of the European Parliament. The half day event will combine key note speeches with an industry panel. It will be accompanied by technical demonstrations of a range of new services, such as Internet Voice Telephony, Tele-education, Telemedicine, Cable Telephony and Cable Internet Access, High Speed video conferencing. Commissioner Karel Van Miert and MEP Wim Van Velzen will make some concluding remarks.
