  • [01] Jacques Santer: La Commission continuera son action pour l'emploi

    Suite � la conclusion n�gative du Conseil Ecofin concernant le financement compl�mentaire des r�seaux transeurop�ens, le Pr�sident de la Commission europ�enne, Jacques Santer, a d�clar� que l'action pour l'emploi, propos�e par la Commission dans son Pacte de confiance, continuera. "Le probl�me du ch�mage est trop important pour laisser tomber les bras et la Commission poursuivra avec vigueur les autres �l�ments du Pacte de confiance". M. Santer a rappel� que le Conseil europ�en avait, � plusieurs reprises, demand� � la Commission de faire des propositions pour le financement compl�mentaire des r�seaux transeurop�ens. La d�cision n�gative du Conseil Ecofin devra dont �tre expliqu�e devant le Conseil europ�en et l'opinion publique. Parmi les 14 projets prioritaires, neuf pourront continuer de fa�on plus ou moins normale, a estim� M. Santer, mais pour les cinq autres, des difficult�s de financement, et donc des retards d'ex�cution, seront probables.

    [02] La Commission approuve la cr�ation d'une entreprise commune entre Thyssen et B�hler Uddeholm

    La Commission europ�enne a approuv� une op�ration par laquelle la soci�t� allemande Thyssen Stahl AG et l'entreprise autrichienne B�hler Uddeholm AG combineront leurs activit�s dans le domaine de produits de soudure dans une entreprise commune nouvellement cr��e d�nomm�e B�hler Thyssen Schwei�technik GmbH. Les deux soci�t�s-m�res poss�deront chacune 50% de l'entreprise commune. La part de march� de l'entreprise commune dans l'EEE sera d'environ 20%. Elle sera en concurrence avec d'autres groupes qui poss�dent des parts de march� comparables et sont en mesure de livrer une concurrence effective � la nouvelle entit�.

    [03] ECHO TV and radio awards: Commission highlights the plight of victims

    An eye witness account of the massacres in Rwanda unfolding in front of them; the future seen through the eyes of a Bosnian child who simply walked down the wrong road, trod on a mine and lost his leg; and the horrific images of the carnage in Liberia: just three of the shortlisted entries for the European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO) TV and radio awards. These awards, announced in June, were open to broadcasters throughout the European Union, and were created to highlight the vital role played by broadcasters in raising public awareness of humanitarian issues. The winners will be announced at an event to be held at the Royal Kilmainham Hospital, Dublin, on 9 December in the presence of Mary Robinson, President of Ireland, and Commissioner Emma Bonino.

    [04] SADC and EC sign regional indicative programme

    The Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the European Community today in Windhoek, Namibia, signed a regional Indicative Programme worth ECU 121 million for a five-year period under the revised Lom� IV Convention. The overall objective that will guide the regional programme of cooperation is to raise the standard of living and improve the quality of life in the region through sustained socio-economic SADC. Within this strategy the support of European Commission financing will be concentrated on two priority areas: infrastructure and services; trade, investment and finance.
