  • [01] La Commission approuve le syst�me Eurovision de l'UER

    La Commission europ�enne a arr�t� une d�cision par laquelle elle exempte de l'application de la l�gislation antitrust normale les r�gles de l'Union europ�enne de radio-t�l�vision (UER) qui r�gissent l'acquisition en commun et le partage des droits de t�l�vision pour des manifestations sportives dans le cadre du syst�me de l'Eurovision. L'exemption vaut jusqu'en 2005.

    [02] Commission clears acquisition of Diligentia by Skandia Life Insurance

    The European Commission has authorised the operation, consisting of a public bid, whereby Swedish company Skandia Life Insurance Company Ltd. ("Skandia Life"), of the Skandia Group ("Skandia"), proposes to acquire sole control over Swedish real estate company Diligentia AB.

    [03] La Commission autorise la cr�ation de la soci�t� European Aeronautic, Space and Defence Company (EADS), sous certaines conditions

    La Commission europ�enne a autoris� le projet de cr�ation de la soci�t� EADS, � laquelle la soci�t� allemande DaimlerChrysler AG, la soci�t� fran�aise Lagard�re SCA, l'Etat fran�ais et la soci�t� espagnole Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI) ont apport� leurs activit�s dans le secteur de l'a�ronautique, des t�l�communications, de l'espace et de la d�fense. La Commission a estim� que des probl�mes de concurrence existent sur le march� de l'espace, en raison des parts de march� d�tenues par les parties sur deux march�s des �quipements pour satellites, celui des r�flecteurs d'antenne et celui des tubes centraux. Les parties ont propos� des engagements de nature � �carter ces probl�mes.

    [04] La Commission adopte des objectifs en mati�re de recrutement et de promotion interne de femmes au cours de l'ann�e 2000

    La Commission europ�enne vise la nomination, au cours de l'ann�e 2000, de deux femmes � des postes de Directeur G�n�ral (DG) ou DG adjoint, de cinq femmes � des postes de Directeur ou Conseiller principal (niveau A2). Elle vise aussi � ce que 20% des nominations aux postes de chefs d'unit� et conseillers (niveau A3-A5) se fassent en faveur de femmes. Enfin, elle recrutera � parit� des hommes et des femmes sur les listes de laur�at de concours, tant que ces listes le permettent.

    [05] Piles usag�es : la Commission prend des mesures � l'encontre de la Gr�ce

    La Commission europ�enne a d�cid� d'adresser un avis motiv� � la Gr�ce pour non-respect de la Directive concernant les piles et accumulateurs contenant certaines mati�res dangereuses. En 1999, la Gr�ce a d�j� �t� condamn�e par la Cour de justice europ�enne pour ne pas avoir �tabli et envoy� � la Commission un programme concernant les piles usag�es. Ce programme aurait d� �tre communiqu� � la Commission il y a huit ans et la Gr�ce ne s'est toujours pas conform�e � cette obligation.

    [06] Commission acts against Portugal over drinking water in the Azores

    The European Commission has decided to send a reasoned opinion to Portugal for non-respect of the European Union's drinking water Directive in the Azores. This action has been taken, because drinking water supplies on the islands do not live up to with the standards set out in the Directive.

    [07] Commission publishes report on indicators linking land cover to landscape diversity in EU

    The European Commission today published a report entitled "From Land Cover to Landscape Diversity in the European Union" as part of its ongoing work to develop indicators to monitor the integration of environmental concerns into the CAP. This follows the call from the Agricultural Council in July 1999 for a Commission report on agri-environmental indicators and the more recent Commission communication to the Council and the European Parliament on this subject. The report uses existing data on land cover - the physical description of the earth's surface - to develop indicators which could be used, for example, to track the improvement or impoverishment of European landscapes in terms of diversity. Such indicators will be particularly important in ensuring the success of monitoring, control and evaluation of the efforts made to integrate environmental concerns into the CAP. The publication is the result of close collaboration between DG Agriculture, Eurostat and the Joint Research Centre, as well as the European Environmental Agency. It is available on the Commission website at: http://europa.eu.int/comm/ dg06/publi/landscape/index.htm
