PREFACE The second Intergovernmcntal Conference on the Utilisation of Highly Qualified Personnel was held in Venice, under the auspices of the Italian Ministry of Public Instruction, from 25th to 27th October, 1971. It was attended by high-level Member government represent- atives responsible for employment and education and by represent- atives of industry, employers? organisations, professional associations and trade unions. The Chairman of the Conference was Mr. Pier Luigi Romita, Under-Secretary of State for Public Instruction (Italy); the sessions were presided over by Mr. Malcolm R. Lovell, Jr., Assistant Secretary for Manpower (United States); Dr. G.N. Perry, Assistant Deputy Minister, Ministry of Manpower and Immigration (Canada); and Recteur Jean Capelle, Rapporteur de la Commission des Affaires culturelles, familiales et sociales de 11Assemblee nationale (France). The first Conference on the Utilisation and Training of Scientific and Technical Personnel took place in Paris in September, 1966. At that time, governments were mainly concerned with the growing need for qualified personnel in an expanding economy, and the definition of an education policy to meet this need through the adaptation and transformation of educational structures and objectives. They were also seeking to make the most of available qualifications through better deployment, improved opportunities for adaptation to technoogical change and professional development. The second ,onference reached beyond these mainly economic concerns. The preparation of the Venice Conference brought to light, in the most advanced countries, new trends in qualifica- tion supply and demand linked with economic development and the spread of technical progress, but also with educational growth and current changes in the objectives of society. It seems doubtful that these trends will be reversed. 5 J These trends reveal a certain divergence between the present orientation of the educational system, the economy's needs and actual employment opportunities; they raise a whole set of new problems and lead to a re-examination of the education and employ- ment policies practised over the years by governments, firms, employers' organisations and trade unions and point sharply to the need for new concepts to bring about greater integration between these policies if the aspirations and career patterns of individuals are to be reconciled with the changing needs of society and the economy. The aim of the second Conference was thus to bring about an awareness of the nature and magnitude of current changes, the responsibilities of the various interested parties in the defini- tion and implementation of policies and the need to take an over- all view of the problems. The Conference also made it possible to define the fields in which research, with a new approach, will be most necessary and likely to yield practical results. Acknowledgements The OECD wishes to thank the Italian Government and the Giorgio Cini Foundation for receiving the Conference on the beautiful Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice, and for their extremely efficient assistance in the organisation and holding of the Conference.

It would be presumptuous to try to do more than give a few impressions of the trend of events and ideas between the Paris meeting in 1966 and the one which has just ended. These impressions are based on the very comprehensive documentation presented by Member countries, the speeches of the different Delegations and talks in the cloisters and garde.s of the Giorgio Cini Foundation. Like all impressions, they no doubt include a certain subjective element. The changes which have taken place over the past five years in the manner of formulating and answering questions affecting highly qualified personnel can, with a little artifice, be grouped under four heads, according to their main centre of interest,

The main obstacle to reaching an agreement, between the Messina Conference of 1–3 June 1955 and the signing of the Treaty of Rome establishing the EEC on 25 March 1957, was France. Agreeing to the project, still referred to at the time as the ‘Common Market’, caused France problems for three main reasons. First, the French thought that supporting the common market reflected a preference for cooperation between the Six, to the detriment of a broader view of Europe with its Franco-British basis, which was still popular among French decision-makers. Secondly, in institutional terms the scheme partly depended on a supranational dynamic which aroused a great deal of mistrust. It was largely due to this dynamic that the French Parliament had rejected the European Defence Community (EDC) in 1954.

  • A History of the States' Europeanness from the EEC/EU Institutions
    A History of the States’ Europeanness from the EEC/EU Institutions’ Perspective: (Re)considering the Current Relevance of the Institutional Interpretations in Light of the Recent Crises Annie Niessen PhD Candidate in Political and Social Sciences European Studies Unit, University of Liège, Belgium [email protected] Paper prepared for the 16th EUSA International Biennial Conference Denver, 9-11 May 2019 – Denver, USA Please do not cite or distribute Abstract According to Article 49(1) of the Treaty on the European Union, any State wishing to apply for EU membership must be “European”, a preliminary eligibility condition which has been enshrined in EU law since the Treaty of Rome. Yet, the qualifier “European” has never been explicitly or institutionally defined, despite the fact that it may take on various meanings, going broadly from geographical to cultural ones, including political ones. Failing a clear-cut definition, the EEC/EU institutions have been brought to provide their own interpretations of the requesting States’ European identity – or Europeanness – especially in the course of membership applications, treaty-making processes and enlargement prospects. Focusing on these specific phases, and especially on the membership requests that raised eligibility issues, this paper investigates the various interpretations of the States’ Europeanness that have been provided by the EEC/EU institutions over the last sixty years. The methodological approach relies on a textual and discursive analysis of both recent documents and older records. It then considers, or reconsiders, the current relevance of these interpretations in light of the recent crises that the EU has to handle, such as the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU or the democratic issues in some eastern Member States, and questions the prospective EU (dis)integration based on these institutional interpretations of European identity.

More than 900 documents, covering topics that range from the 1955 European revival to the entry into force of the treaties on 1 January 1958, reveal a key period in the history of European integration. A major strength of the ePublication lies in the careful selection of material from the Historical Archives of the Council of the European Union: these historical documents constitute a major part of the ePublication. This selection is supplemented by historical documents from other archives, in particular the Historical Archives of the European Union, the Archives of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Luxembourg National Archives. Another major feature is a series of interviews conducted by the CVCE with individuals who experienced events at first hand. Among those interviewed are Charles Rutten, Hubert Ehring, Pierre Pescatore, Max Kohnstamm, André Dubois, Hans-August Lücker and Albert Breuer.

What better way to start off the European Investment Bank’s 50th anniversary than with a bit of prehistory? In 2006, following the first transfer of the Bank’s historical archives to the University Institute in Florence, the EIB commissioned a junior researcher at the Institute, Dr Lucia Coppolaro, to explore and write a short history of the negotiations that led up to the creation of the EIB. Her essay lies before you now. When the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the European Coal and Steel Community met in Messina in 1955 to discuss setting up the European Economic Community, the idea arose of creating a European investment “fund” as an instrument to deepen European economic integration.

The Heads of Delegation of the Six met at the Belgian Foreign Ministry in Brussels on 26 June to determine the rules of procedure for the Intergovernmental Conference on the Common Market and Euratom. In accordance with the decisions taken in Venice, the Intergovernmental Conference, chaired by Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak, comprised two groups responsible for examining the technical issues involved in drafting each of the treaties: - the Common Market group, chaired by Hans von der Groeben, head of department in the German Ministry for Economic Affairs; - the Euratom group, chaired by Pierre Guillaumat, general administrator of France’s Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). A drafting group chaired by Roberto Ducci, Deputy Director-General for Economic Affairs in the Italian Foreign Ministry, was also set up and placed at the disposal of the Heads of Delegation.

PREFACE Two draft-treaties of great importance, the one relating to limitation of shipowners liability and the other to mari- time mortgages and liens, were submitted for discussion to the Venice Conference. Both drafts had been conside- red at former meetings where they had been the subject of careful study and given rise to very interesting debates, in which a very great part has been taken by the most prominant jurists and business - men who from all parts of the world, had readily answered to our call. I. - Draft_ti eaty on Limitation of S1ziowners Liability.- This draft-treaty only refers to damages to goods. On account of difficulties which intil now appeared insupe- rable, the question as to damages for loss of life or personal injury has been left to the decision of the national legislations, in conforiiìity with the resolutions passed at former Conferences.
