The Council recognises that the decision on the date of application of the Directive needs to be taken on the basis of Article 17 by the end of June. It requests the Commission to pursue negotiations with Switzerland on this timing issue and to report back to the Permanent Representatives Committee by the end of June so that the necessary decision can be taken this month." Background The Directive (Directive 2003/48/EC) seeks to ensure that intra-Community cross-border flows of savings income in the form of interest payments are subject to taxation. Its application as from 1 January 2005 is subject to the condition that: • the same measures are applied from that date by the three United Kingdom Crown dependencies of Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man, the five UK Caribbean territories of Anguilla, Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos Islands and British Virgin Islands, and the two Dutch Caribbean territories of Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. • equivalent measures are applied by Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and Switzerland. Equivalence depends on: withholding tax and revenue sharing at the rates provided for by the Directive; voluntary disclosure of information regarding interest payments; exchange of information on request in cases of tax fraud or the like; a review clause allowing the terms of the agreement to be adapted in line with international developments. – External dimension/Agreement with Switzerland The Council adopted without discussion a Decision approving the conclusion of the savings tax agreement with Switzerland and an accompanying Memorandum of Understanding. The agreement is aimed at enabling the taxation of cross-border flows of savings income in the form of interest payments. PREPARATION FOR THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL – Broad Economic Policy Guidelines The Council approved a report, on the basis of work carried out by the Economic Policy Committee and the Economic and Financial Committee, on this year’s update of the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines (BEPGs), the EU’s guidelines on the economic policies to be followed by the Member States and the Community, for the 2003-05 period. - 5 - 9779/04 (Presse 172) SL The report will be submitted to the European Council at its meeting in Brussels on 17 and 18 June; on the basis of the European Council's conclusions, the Council will be called on to adopt a Recommendation updating the BEPGs at its meeting on 5 July. The Council's report confirms the priorities already set, namely: ¾ promoting sustainable growth through investment, innovation and competitiveness; ¾ increasing the flexibility of labour markets; and ¾ ensuring the sustainability of public finances. The report focuses on applying the guidelines to the EU's ten new Member States, providing country-specific recommendations. It also contains updates as concerns Germany, Greece, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom to allow for adjustments in budgetary policies. As regards specific challenges for the euro area, the report calls for economic policy to focus more on sustained growth, yet in a way that does not hamper the consolidation of public finances, and for intensification of structural reform, with an appropriate timing of policy measures to as to ensure the efficient functioning of markets. STABILITY AND GROWTH PACT - IMPLEMENTATION – Excessive deficit procedure for the Netherlands The Council adopted a Decision on the existence of an excessive government deficit in the Netherlands, and a Recommendation on action to be taken to correct it. In its Recommendation, the Council calls on the Netherlands authorities to put an end to the excessive deficit by 2005 at the latest. In addition, it urges the Netherlands authorities to ensure that budgetary consolidation towards a position close to balance or in surplus is sustained, even after the excessive deficit is corrected. According to the Commission's opinion, published on 19 May, the government deficit in the Netherlands amounted to 3.2% of Gross Domestic Product in 2003, thereby exceeding the maximum reference value of 3% provided for by the EC Treaty as well as the 1.9% observed in 2002. STATISTICS - EMU INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS - Council conclusions The Council adopted the following conclusions: "The Council endorsed the status report by the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC) on information requirements in EMU. The report examines the status of implementation of the EMU Action Plan and more generally on progress achieved in developing EMU and EU statistics. Moreover, progress in the new Member States is investigated in respect to their separate Action Plan. The examination also takes account of the Code of Best Practice on the compilation and reporting of data in the context of the Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP), adopted by the Council on 18 February

  • Inside Spain 55 William Chislett Foreign Policy
    Inside Spain 55 William Chislett Foreign Policy Zapatero Meets Obama, Agrees to Send More Soldiers to Afghanistan Spain’s Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, met President Barack Obama in Prague, ending the five-year stand-off between the White House and the head of the Spanish government caused by Zapatero’s decision to withdraw Spain’s peacekeeping troops from Iraq sent by his predecessor, José María Aznar. Obama, in striking contrast to George W Bush and despite the friction caused by Spain’s pull-out of troops from Kosovo (see below), said he was ‘happy’ to call Rodríguez Zapatero his ‘friend. As if to emphasise the point, Obama put his arm on Zapatero’s shoulder. The bilateral meeting, held during Obama’s encounter in the Czech capital with EU-27 leaders, was the first time Zapatero had been officially received by a US president since he first took office in 2004. Earlier, at the Nato summit meeting in Strasbourg with Obama, Rodríguez Zapatero agreed to send 450 more soldiers to Afghanistan to help guarantee security during the country’s presidential elections in August. Spain will also send 40 paramilitary civil guards to help train the police force. The 450 troops will return once their mission is concluded and will not stay on and join the 778 Spanish troops already in Afghanistan. Zapatero is reluctant to increase Spain’s military presence on a permanent basis or change the tight rules of engagement under which Spanish troops operate. Rodríguez Zapatero and Obama also met in Turkey, the first Muslim country the US President decided to visit as part of his policy of reaching out to the Islamic world.

Problemstilling ”Energiforskning” er et bredt område, som omfatter udvikling og videreudvikling af energikilder, energibærere og teknologier, der kan bidrage til energibesparelser. I nogle tilfælde udvikles de ude- lukkende af private virksomheder uden statslig indblanding, mens staten eller internationale organi- sationer fungerer som drivkraft i udviklingen af andre og primært meget avancerede teknologier. Denne opgave vil dog fokusere på forskningen indenfor dem, der er beregnet til at fungere på mar- kedsvilkår, men evt. kan modtage direkte eller indirekte statsstøtte i en eller flere udviklingsfaser. Et typisk eksempel på dette er den danske udvikling af vindmøller, som i tidens løb er foretaget af både en række private iværksættere på græsrodsniveau og private virksomheder, der fra 1980erne og især i 1990erne er blevet faciliteret af den danske stat.

  • Managing Economic and Monetary Union by Pedro Solbes, Member of the European Commission
    Monthly newsletter ISSN 102 1-23S3 m% Managing economic and monetary union by Pedro Solbes, Member of the European Commission The introduction of the euro on 1 January 1999 has been a major achievement. Meticulous preparation ensured a very smooth changeover to the new single currency and the sound economic policy framework established in the run-up to EMU is beginning to yield results. Safeguarding macroeconomic stability The year 1999 was not only characterised by the launch of the euro but was also the first test of EMU's institutional set-up, and the test was positive. EMU establishes a framework for sound economic policies which comprises an independent monetary policy devoted primarily to price stability, disciplined fiscal policies governed by mutually agreed rules and a set of procedures to enhance structural reform. The European Central Bank (ECB) has quickly established its anti-inflationary credibility. This is reflected in a historically low inflation rate and continued moderate inflation expectations in the euro area. The second test for macroeconomic management now lies ahead. The euro-area Member States have a special responsibility to support monetary policy by adhering to a strict budgetary discipline and implementing necessary structural reforms. Against the background of an increasingly robust upswing, the EMU framework must bring the economy onto a sustained, high-growth path whilst preserving price stability. Member State governments have maintained - and in most cases enhanced - budgetary discipline despite the economic slowdown in 1999. In sum, the policy-mix has been adjusted appropriately. Last year, the Stability and Growth Pact showed that it can place an upper ceiling on deficits during downturns.
