News from the Communication Directorate General's midday briefing
Nouvelles du rendez-vous de midi de la Direction Générale Communicationb

[01] New, secure biometric passports in the EU, strengthen security and
data protection and facilitates travelling
The European Commission adopted on 28 June 2006 the second part of the
technical specifications required for the introduction of biometric
identifiers (fingerprints) into the passport and other travel documents
issued by Member States following Council Regulation (EC) 2252/2004 on the
introduction of common security standards and biometrics into passports and
other travel documents issued by Member States.
[02] La Commission adopte une communication soulignant l'importance de la
formation des professionnels de la justice dans l'Union européenne
La formation des juges des procureurs et des avocats est soutenue par la
Commission européenne depuis de nombreuses années à travers divers
programmes financiers. Néanmoins, les récents développements de l'Espace
Judiciaire Européen (adoption du mandat d'arrêt européen, développement
européen du droit de la famille et plus largement du droit civil) exigent
des professionnels une actualisation permanente de leurs connaissances dans
cette matière en pleine évolution. D'autre part, les décisions de
justice sont appelées à circuler en Europe en application du principe de
reconnaissance mutuelle : le jugement rendu aujourd'hui à Helsinki peut
devoir être exécuté à Porto ou à Ljubljana.
[03] Télécommunications : la Commission élabore des projets en vue de
stimuler la concurrence entre les opérateurs de télécommunications et de
construire un marché unique des services qui utilisent le spectre
radioélectrique
La Commission européenne lance aujourd'hui une consultation publique sur
les actions possibles pour actualiser les règles relatives au marché
communautaire des télécommunications, édictées en 2002 et rassemblées
sous le nom de "cadre réglementaire pour les communications
électroniques". Les communications électroniques comprennent la
téléphonie vocale fixe, les communications mobiles et à large bande –
ce qui représente un marché de plus de €270 millions dans l'UE en 2005.
Dans un rapport sur le fonctionnement du cadre réglementaire, la
Commission constate que des progrès importants ont été accomplis depuis
2002 dans l'ouverture des marchés nationaux des télécommunications à la
concurrence et propose de supprimer progressivement la réglementation ex-
ante dans au moins 6 des 18 segments du marché des télécoms existants, y
compris ceux des appels nationaux et internationaux. Concernant les
marchés sur lesquels il n'existe pas encore de concurrence réelle (par
exemple, le marché essentiel des télécommunications à large bande), la
Commission veut que les règles communautaires soient appliquées plus
efficacement, afin d'intensifier la concurrence dans l'ensemble du marché
unique. La Commission prend ainsi clairement position contre l'idée de
"pause réglementaire" pour les opérateurs en place. La Commission
recommande par ailleurs d'évoluer vers une approche commune et davantage
axée sur le marché pour l'attribution du spectre radioélectrique
nécessaire pour que les nouveaux services et produits fonctionnent dans
l’ensemble de l'UE. L'objectif de la Commission est que les nouvelles
règles soient entièrement transposées dans les législations nationales
d'ici 2010.
[04] Online public services are increasingly interactive : "intelligent
delivery" is the next frontier, says latest e-Government report
The maturity of online public services in the EU keeps improving and they
have now reached an overall level of sophistication where full two-way
interaction between citizens and governments is the norm. Nearly 50% of
services allow the citizen to conduct the whole process on-line, says the
latest e-Government survey carried out for the Commission. This in turn
leads to better, more efficient and effective service provision. The
sophistication index has risen by 6% in the year to April 2006 in the EU 15
Member States, but by 16% in the EU10, reflecting the considerable efforts
made in recent years. Austria leads the online public service league,
followed by Malta and Estonia. Since 2001, this survey has measured the
share of public services fully available on line in the EU, plus Iceland,
Norway and Switzerland. Many billions of euros could be saved for European
taxpayers every year through administrative modernisation across the 25 EU
Member States, as outlined in the European Commission's eGovernment Action
Plan of April 2006 (see IP/06/523).
[05] Tunnel du Brenner : le percement de la galerie de reconnaissance
démarre
Avec le lancement demain, 30 juin 2006, des travaux de creusement d'une
galerie de reconnaissance dans l'axe du futur tunnel de base du Brenner,
une étape déterminante sera franchie pour réussir le transfert modal de
la route vers le rail pour la traversée des Alpes. La Commission
européenne se félicite des progrès rapides et confirme son soutien.
[06] Commission welcomes judgments of the Court of Justice in SGL Carbon
and Showa Denko Cases (Graphite electrodes cartel)
The European Commission welcomes today's judgment by the European Court of
Justice allowing the Commission's appeal and dismissing the appeals by SGL
Carbon and Showa Denko in respect of the graphite electrodes cartel, and
increasing the fine on SGL Carbon. The Court upheld the Commission's
argument that a company subject to a Commission investigation must produce
documents even where those documents could be used as evidence of an
infringement by that company. The provision of such documents cannot lead
to a reduction of fines for cooperation as their production is required by
law. The Court also confirmed that a reduction of a fine under the Leniency
Notice can be justified only where the company demonstrates a genuine
spirit of cooperation, which SGL Carbon had failed to do. The Court
therefore held that the reduction in fine by the Court of First Instance
(from €80 million to €69 million) was incorrect on these points.
Consequently, the Court re-increased the fine imposed on SGL Carbon to
€75.7 million. SGL Carbon will therefore have to pay more than 94% of the
fine originally imposed by the Commission, together with the Commission's
costs of this appeal. The Court also underlined that deterrence is an
important aspect of the Commission's fining policy. This principle of
deterrence has been reinforced in the Commission's new guidelines on fines,
adopted on 28th June 2006 (see IP/06/698 and MEMO/06/224).
[07] Commission clears drinks distribution joint venture between Scottish &
Newcastle and Kuehne + Nagel
The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the
formation of a joint venture for UK drinks distribution between the UK
brewery group Scottish & Newcastle ('S&N') and Kuehne+Nagel Logistics Ltd
('K+N'). The Commission concluded that the proposed transaction would not
significantly impede effective competition in the European Economic Area or
any substantial part of it.
[08] La Commission donne son feu vert à l'acquisition de Hornitex par Sonae
Indústria
La Commission européenne a autorisé, en vertu du règlement CE sur les
concentrations, le projet d'acquisition de l'entreprise allemande Hornitex
par la société portugaise Sonae Indústria. Ces deux entreprises se
consacrent à la fabrication et la vente de panneaux de fibres. La
concentration proposée permettrait à Sonae Indústria de prendre le
contrôle des activités de Hornitex dans le secteur de la fabrication de
panneaux en bois en Allemagne. La Commission a conclu que l'opération
envisagée n'entraverait pas de manière significative la concurrence
effective dans l'Espace économique européen ou dans une partie
substantielle de celui-ci.
[09] A new financing instrument to promote democracy and human rights
The European Commission has adopted a proposal for a self-standing
financing instrument to promote democracy and human rights worldwide. The
new instrument is to replace the present external assistance scheme
(European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights – EIDHR), which will
run out by the end of the year. The proposal has immediately been sent to
the European Parliament and the Council to ensure an efficient legislative
process enabling the instrument to become operational by the beginning of
next year.
[10] Commission allocates €3 million for victims of internal conflict in
Timor Leste
The European Commission has allocated €3 million in humanitarian aid for
up to 140,000 people displaced by the recent violence in Timor Leste and
for their host families. The funds will be used to meet their most basic
needs for a period of 6 months. All funds are channeled through the
Commission's department for Humanitarian Aid, ECHO, under the
responsibility of Commissioner Louis Michel.
[11] Markos Kyprianou launches new consumer education tools
The European Health and Consumer Protection Commissioner Markos Kyprianou
today launched three consumer education tools at a workshop in Brussels
bringing together decision-makers, media and consumer associations. In
particular, the Commissioner presented a new on-line portal known as
'Dolceta' (Development of On Line Consumer Education Tools for Adults)
which provides a useful educational tool for citizens on their consumer
rights and financial services issues (<a href="http://portal.dolceta.net">http://portal.dolceta.net).
The Commissioner also presented the 2006-07 edition of the successful
Europa Diary, an EU-wide publication for students aged 15-18. The diary is
used in schools and sets out useful information on issues of interest to
young consumers including smoking, nutrition and consumer rights. Finally
the Commissioner outlined another project contributing to consumer
education : EU-funded training courses for staff of consumer organisations.
These courses on management, lobbying and consumer law, are open to
consumer association personnel from the 25 Member States plus Bulgaria and
Romania.
[12] Designing safer medical devices
The Global Harmonisation Task Force for Medical Devices (GHTF) held its
tenth conference in Lübeck (Germany) under the theme : 'Design for Patient
Safety' – a design philosophy that seeks to reach a new level of safety
for patients and healthcare workers by eliminating complex or confusing
products. GHTF is the worldwide organisation of government and industry
experts in medical device technology that seeks to set and promote the
highest standards in medical device safety. The conference that was
organized by the European Commission and hosted by the European Federation
of Precision Mechanical and Optical Industries (EUROM) brought together the
world's leading governmental and industrial experts on medical device
safety. With over 420 delegates from 33Â countries, this has been the most
successful GHTF Conference to date, and demonstrates the enormous worldwide
interest in the adoption of GHTF principals. In tackling the issue of
design for patient safety, experts also examined new and emerging
technologies, how device manufacturers follow their products in the market
and the minimum standards for technical and safety data.

[13] Joe Borg to address Maritime Policy conference in Antibes
This evening, European Commissioner for Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, Joe
Borg, will arrive in Antibes to attend the international conference on the
Commission's Green Paper on a Future European Maritime Policy which is
being hosted by the French government. Following the conference hosted by
the Regional Government of the Azores at the beginning of this week, which
focused on the maritime experience of Europe's outermost regions, this
meeting will, for the first time, bring together ministers from 10 EU
Member States, mainly from the Mediterranean, to discuss how an integrated
maritime policy would support sustainable growth and jobs and encourage
better policy-making across a range of sectors which are currently dealt
with separately. "From the start, France has played a major role in
supporting the Commission's initiative on a maritime policy, as befits one
of Europe's leading seafaring nations", said Joe Borg. "I am delighted that
the French government is hosting this event to help launch the consultation
on a future maritime policy, and I look forward to working closely with all
the Member States over the coming year." Mr Borg will address tonight's
opening ceremony, alongside Ms Catherine Colonna, French Minister for
European Affairs, and Mr Jean Leonetti, Deputy Mayor of Antibes. He will
then introduce the formal proceedings of the conference tomorrow morning. A
general presentation of the Green Paper will be followed by thematic
sessions focusing on Integrated Coastal Zone Management and the governance
of maritime affairs in Europe, amongst others.
[14] La Commission saisit la Cour de justice à propos du traitement des
eaux résiduaires en Grèce
La Commission européenne a engagé devant la Cour du Justice européenne
une action visant la Grèce, qui n'assure pas comme il convient le
traitement des eaux urbaines résiduaires dans vingt-quatre villes du pays.
Le problème aurait dû être réglé avant la fin de
l'année 2000. L'absence de traitement met en danger la santé des
populations concernées, les eaux usées non traitées pouvant contenir des
bactéries et des virus dangereux. Ces eaux contiennent également des
nutriments tels que l'azote et le phosphore, susceptibles de nuire au
milieu marin en favorisant la prolifération d'algues qui étouffent les
autres formes de vie.
[15] Commission takes legal action against illegal bird hunting
Hunting regulation is a crucial aspect of EU nature and biodiversity
protection policy. However, a number of Member States fail to ensure
correct regulation of hunting practices. To address this problem, the
European Commission has launched legal action against four Member States.
Finland, Italy and Spain are being asked to bring their rules on hunting
into line with the EU's Wild Birds Directive. Currently, laws in these
Member States allow the hunting of birds during key periods of migration
and breeding, or with insufficient controls. These laws are in breach of EU
legislation intended to ensure the protection and conservation of birds
across the EU. A first warning letter has also been sent to Malta over the
spring hunting of two species of birds.
[16] Importation de voitures d'occasion : la Commission prend des mesures Ã
l'encontre du Luxembourg, de la République tchèque, de la Pologne, de
l'Autriche et de la Hongrie
La Commission européenne a pris des mesures à l'encontre du Luxembourg, de
la République tchèque, de la Pologne, de l'Autriche et de la Hongrie
parce que ces Etats membres rendent difficile l'importation de voitures
d'occasion sur leur territoire. Les cinq affaires, qui se trouvent à des
étapes différentes de la procédure d'infraction, constituent des
entraves à la libre circulation des marchandises. Le Luxembourg exige par
exemple, avant l'importation de véhicules, des justificatifs de
l'inscription du concessionnaire au registre du commerce, sans que cela se
justifie. D'autres Etats membres imposent des contrôles techniques avant
l'immatriculation de véhicules d'occasion importés alors que cette
exigence n'existe pas pour des véhicules similaires (même âge, modèle
ou type) déjà immatriculés auparavant dans le pays.
[17] Second Railway Package : Commission sends a reasoned opinion to four
Member States
Greece, Italy, Portugal and Slovenia were sent a reasoned opinion for
failing to notify the European Commission of any transposition measures for
a Directive, which opens the market for international and national rail
freight services. The transposition of this directive into the national
legal framework should enable more efficient and on-time international and
national services by rail, which are particularly important to make rail
more competitive. The Commission will fully play its role in ensuring an
open internal market for rail freight services.
[18] Installations de réception portuaires pour déchets d'exploitation
des navires et résidus de cargaison : la Commission envoie des avis
motivés à l'Allemagne, l'Estonie et l'Espagne et saisit la Cour de justice
contre la Grèce, la France, l'Italie, la Finlande et le Portugal
La Commission européenne a envoyé des avis motivés à l'Allemagne,
l'Estonie et l'Espagne et a décidé de saisir la Cour de justice contre la
Grèce, la France, l'Italie, la Finlande et le Portugal. Ces pays n'ont pas
respecté la législation communautaire sur l'amélioration de la
disponibilité et de l'utilisation des installations de réception
portuaires pour les déchets d'exploitation des navires et les résidus de
cargaison.
[19] Port State Control : Commission sends a reasoned opinion to Portugal
and brings Malta to the Court of Justice
The European Commission has sent a reasoned opinion – the last step
before lodging a case to the Court of Justice – to Portugal and brought
Malta to Court for failure to respect EU legislation on port State control
of shipping.
[20] Tarification routière discriminatoire : la Commission adresse un avis
motivé à l'Espagne et à la France
La Commission européenne a adressé un avis motivé à l'Espagne et à la
France pour non-respect de la législation européenne en matière de
tarification routière. Ces deux Etats membres offrent des remises
excessivement élevées, allant jusqu'à 50% et 30% respectivement, aux
usagers fréquents de leurs autoroutes.
[21] Public procurement : infringement procedures against Germany, Austria,
Italy and Malta
The European Commission has taken action against Germany, Austria, Italy
and Malta to correct breaches of EU public procurement law. The Commission
will refer Germany to the European Court of Justice over waste disposal
services awarded by several administrative districts in Lower Saxony. The
Commission will also make formal requests to Germany regarding the award of
a bus transport service concession in the city of Worms and regarding group
pension services awarded by public employers. These requests take the form
of "reasoned opinions", the second stage of the infringement procedure laid
down in Article 226 of the EC Treaty. If there is no satisfactory reply
within two months, the Commission may refer the matter to the European
Court of Justice. The Commission has decided, under Article 228 of the EC
Treaty, to send a letter of formal notice asking Austria for full
information on its execution of a European Court judgement concerning the
disposal of waste in the city of Mödling. The Commission has also decided
to send reasoned opinions to Austria in two other similar cases concerning
long-term waste disposal contracts in the cities of Hartberg and
Kapfenberg. The Commission has decided to send Italy reasoned opinions
concerning procedural errors in the procurement of prisons and trams.
Finally the Commission has decided to send Malta a reasoned opinion
concerning a public contract for the provision of programme management
services and technical assistance.
[22] Marchés publics : procédures d'infraction contre la Grèce,
l'Espagne et le Portugal
La Commission européenne a pris des mesures contre la Grèce, l'Espagne et
le Portugal pour remédier à des infractions au droit communautaire sur les
marchés publics. La Commission a décidé d'assigner la Grèce devant la
Cour de justice européenne concernant les procédures d'adjudication pour
la fourniture de dispositifs médicaux à plusieurs hôpitaux en Grèce, et
concernant ses règles d'attribution directe de fournitures médicales dans
certains cas. La Commission adressera également des demandes formelles Ã
la Grèce concernant la procédure d'adjudication relative à un projet de
chemin de fer public à Thriasio et concernant la procédure d'adjudication
relative à un projet de construction d'usines thermoélectrique Ã
Atherinolakkos, en Crète. Ces demandes prennent la forme d'«avis
motivés», qui constituent la seconde étape de la procédure d'infraction
prévue à l’article 226 du traité CE. En l'absence de réponse
satisfaisante dans un délai de deux mois, la Commission pourra saisir la
Cour de justice. La Commission adressera entre-temps un avis motivé au
Portugal concernant la procédure d'adjudication relative aux services de
conseil pour les travaux de construction dans le réseau de métro de
Porto. La Commission a également décidé, en vertu de l'article 228 du
traité CE, d'adresser à l'Espagne encore un autre avis motivé, lui
demandant de se conformer immédiatement à l'arrêt rendu en 2005 par la
Cour de justice concernant sa transposition en droit national des
directives de l'UE relatives aux marchés publics de fournitures et aux
marchés publics de travaux. Si l'Espagne ne s'y conforme pas, la
Commission peut demander à la Cour de justice d'infliger des amendes. Enfin,
la Commission a décidé, au titre de l'article 228 du traité CE,
d'adresser à l'Espagne une lettre de mise en demeure lui demandant des
informations complètes sur son exécution d'un arrêt rendu en 2005 par la
Cour de justice concernant l'adjudication de services de santé.
[23] Qualifications professionnelles : des procédures d'infraction contre
la France, la Grèce et l'Espagne
La Commission européenne a pris des mesures contre la France, la Grèce et
l'Espagne pour remédier aux violations de la législation communautaire
sur les qualifications professionnelles. La Commission saisira la Cour de
justice d'un recours contre la France au sujet de ses règles sur la
prestation temporaire de services par des médecins, dentistes et sages-
femmes établis dans un autre Etat membre. Elle invitera aussi formellement
la France à modifier sa législation sur la reconnaissance des
qualifications des guides de canyon et des moniteurs de snowboard. Ces
demandes prendront la forme d'«avis motivés», seconde étape de la
procédure d’infraction prévue à l'article 226 du traité CE. En
l'absence de réponse satisfaisante dans un délai de deux mois, la
Commission pourra saisir la Cour de justice. Parallèlement, la Commission
a décidé d'adresser à la Grèce un autre avis motivé au titre de
l’article 228 du traité CE lui demandant de se conformer sans délai Ã
l'arrêt de la Cour de 2005 et à autoriser des sociétés à ouvrir des
magasins d'optique. Elle enverra aussi à la Grèce un avis motivé
concernant la qualification des médecins. Enfin, la Commission enverra un
avis motivé à l'Espagne concernant les qualifications de pharmacien
hospitalier.
[24] Freedom to provide services and freedom of establishment :
infringement proceedings against Germany and Austria ; progress in cases
against France and Italy
The European Commission has taken action to put an end to obstacles to the
freedom of establishment and to the free movement of services in Germany
and Austria, and can report progress in cases against France and Italy
concerning hydroelectric concessions. The Commission has decided, under
Article 228 of the EC Treaty, to send a letter of formal notice asking
Germany for full information on its execution of a European Court of
Justice judgment concerning conditions imposed on EU employers who wish to
post nationals of non-EU countries to other Member States in connection
with the cross-border provision of services. The Commission considers that
these conditions are contrary to EC Treaty rules on the free movement of
services (Article 49). The Commission has also decided to formally ask
Austria to modify its rules on company registration that impose special
requirements upon nationals from certain Member States that joined the EU
in May 2004. The Commission considers that these conditions are contrary to
EC Treaty rules on the freedom of establishment (Article 43). The request
takes the form of a "reasoned opinion", the second stage of the
infringement procedure laid down in Article 226 of the EC Treaty. If there
is no satisfactory reply within two months, the Commission may refer the
matter to the European Court of Justice. Finally, in the area of
hydroelectric concessions, the Commission has decided to close a case
against Italy concerning the preference given to outgoing concession-
holders when concessions for works using hydraulic power come up for
renewal, as Italy has now modified its legislation. In a similar case
against France, the French authorities have now declared their intention to
modify their legislation. A related case against Italy concerning a similar
preference given to local public bodies in the Trentino-Alto Adige Region
remains open, pending a forthcoming judgment of the Italian Constitutional
Court.
[25] Internal Market : infringement proceedings against Sweden and Greece
The European Commission has taken action against Sweden and Greece to
ensure that they implement Internal Market laws correctly. The Commission
will formally request Sweden to modify an aspect of its taxation
legislation requiring foreign financial institutions that are not formally
established in Sweden to provide the Swedish tax authorities with annual
information on any business they do with Swedish residents. The Commission
considers that this requirement tends to dissuade foreign financial
institutions from providing cross-border services in Sweden and is
therefore incompatible with EC Treaty rules on free movement of services
and free movement of capital. The Commission will also formally request
Greece to modify its legislation on company law rendering valid decisions
on capital increases in public limited liability companies taken by the
Greek government. The Commission considers this to be incompatible with EU
company law, which requires these decisions to be taken at a general
meeting. These requests take the form of "reasoned opinions", the second
stage of the infringement procedure laid down in Article 226 of the EC
Treaty. If there is no satisfactory reply within two months, the Commission
may refer the matter to the European Court of Justice.
