Programme de travail de la Commission / 2012 / CWP2012 Simplification Rolling Programme The Regulation intends to establish a multi-species long-term management framework for cod stocks and pelagic stocks in the Baltic Sea. It will set long-term stock management objectives and targets and contain some specific provisions necessary to reach that aim. Programme de travail de la Commission / 2012 / CWP2012 Simplification Rolling Programme The proposed plan aims to set TACs and limit fishing effort each year with the objective of rebuilding the stocks concerned and achieve the maximum sustainable yield by 2015, as agreed by the Member States at the 2002 UN World Summit on Sustainable Development.

More concretely, on the operational level, the aim of the changes being considered within the UCITS framework will aim at providing appropriate solutions for UCITS depositaries as well as for UCITS remuneration policy. Programme de travail de la Commission / 2012 / CWP2012* X The proposal will seek to create a common framework governing the precontractual information that has to be provided to retail investors when buying investments.

Therefore, Council Regulation 1288/2009 ensures that the temporary measures laid down in Council Regulation 43/2009 would remain in place. That Regulation provided for a 18 months continuation of the measures until 30.06.2011. They were further extended for another 18 months under Regulation 579/2011 until 31.12.2012. The present initiative will address the discontinuation of these measures which would have negative consequences for the stocks involved and impacts on vulnerable habitats. It will ensure legal certainty for these measures while a new technical measures regulation is developed under the CFP reform. The intention is to incorporate these measures into the existing Regulation 850/98. Following the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty there is a need to align Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 establishing a Community control system to Article 290 TFEU.

Programme de travail de la Commission / 2012 / CWP2012 2012/COMP/002 Concurrence EU Guidelines for the application of State aid rules in relation to rapid deployment of broadband networks COMP State aid will play an important role to extend basic broadband and very high speed where market operators are unlikely to invest on commercial terms in the near future. The Digital Agenda (in Key Action 8) calls Member States "to use public financing in line with EU competition and State aid rules" in order to meet the coverage, speed and take-up targets defined in Europe 2020. The State aid Broadband Guidelines – which lay down how public funding should be granted to broadband development in line with the EU State aid rules – forms a fundamental cornerstone of this strategy.The existing Broadband Guidelines of 2009 need to be updated on the basis of future important market, technological and regulatory developments (as stipulated in the final provision of the current version). septembre 2012 Programme de travail de la Commission / 2012 / CWP2012 2012/COMP/005 Concurrence Commission Communication concerning State aid for films and other audiovisual works COMP 3ème trimestre 2012 2012/COMP/001 Concurrence Community Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty COMP octobre 2012 Concurrence Guidelines on national regional aid for the period 2014-2020 2012/COMP/003 COMP décembre 2012 Traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne: Article 107 (3) d To define and justify the State aid rules applicable to the support of film projects, covering development, production and distribution; to control the subsidy race between Member States to attract inward investment from major film productions, in order to avoid State aid being given to films which could obtain the funding from commercial sources. Programme de travail de la Commission / 2012 / CWP2012 The current Rescue and Restructuring guidelines expire in October 2012. A new set of guidelines will have to be adopted by that date reflecting recent policy development in the field of state aid and experience gained during the financial crisis. Programme de travail de la Commission / 2012 / CWP2012 The current regional aid guidelines expire on 31.12.2013. Elements to take into consideration for preparing the new guidelines for the period 2014-2020 include socioeconomic conditions in Member States, national policies aimed at providing financial support to businesses, the Europe 2020 strategy, the review of EU Cohesion Policy and Commission general policy regarding State aid control. The proposal will seek to simplify and to improve the efficiency of control procedures for regional State aid.

It thus allows to determine when a measure does not contain aid (because it was in accordance with the reference rate), and to calculate the grant equivalent of aid or the aid element in interest subsidy schemes. Since the start of the financial crisis market rates (in particular risk premiums) have risen. Therefore, the current method for setting the reference rate seems no longer appropriate under the new market conditions since it leads to rates that are too generous in comparison to market prices and results in potential distortions of competition. The objective of the revision is to determine a new method that provides a good proxy for market rates in the post-crisis area. Programme de travail de la Commission / 2012 / CWP2012 Traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne: Article 107 TFEU The Guarantee Notice provides guidance to determine when a guarantee can be considered as being provided on market terms and therefore not involving State aid. Since the start of the financial crisis market rates (in particular risk premiums) have risen. Therefore, the current rules may no longer be appropriate under the new market conditions since they could be too generous in comparison to market prices and result in potential distortions of competition. The objective of the revision is to adapt the notice in order to ensure that the rules reflect the new market conditions in the post-crisis area. The revision goes together with the revision of the Reference rate Communication.

Issues to be examined include in particular: the qualification under the State aid rules, the definition of marketable risk, the demonstration that a risk is temporarily non-marketable, potential distortions at the level of exporters, pricing etc. At the same time, it will be examined whether the scope of the Communication should be broadened with a view to also covering e.g. export credits granted in forms other than insurance, as well as the medium and long-term export credit segment.

The consultation, launched by the EC in March 2010 and lasted 14 months, represented an innovative window of opportunity for dialogue with a broad variety of traditional and emerging development actors. The objective is to create an updated framework of reference for EU support to Civil Society and Local Authorities in development. The EU has embarked in a strategic shifting of its relationship with the aforementioned actors and the policy Communication would redefine its partnership nature.

A new and simplified promotion and information policy focused on EU added value is needed in order to respond adequately to the current needs of agricultural and food markets (e.g: need of more information on internal market or need to facilitate access to external markets). This communication will be based on the contributions to the Commission's Green Paper on agricultural promotion and information policy adopted on 14 July 2011. The report is made by the Commission pursuant to Council Decision 2003/530/EC on the compatibility with the common market of an aid that Italy intends to grant to its milk producers. Under Article 1 of that decision, the aid, constituted by Italy making payment to the Community of the amount due by producers by virtue of the additional levy on milk for the period 1995/96 to 2001/02 and by allowing these producers to pay their debt by way of deferred payment without interest, is exceptionally considered compatible with the common market under certain conditions. Article 3 of the Decision requires the Italian authorities to report annually to the Council and the Commission on the progress made in this regard. The Commission must then assess this information and report to the Council. In 2007, the Council revised the organic farming legislation in place since 1991 and replaced it by the Regulation 834/2007. Article 41 of this regulation requires the Commission to submit a report to the Council by 31/12/2011 to review the experience gained from the application of this regulation. In particular: (a) the scope of the Regulation, especially as regards organic food prepared by mass caterers; (b) the prohibition on the use of GMOs, including the availability of products not produced by GMOs, the vendor declaration, the feasibility of specific tolerance thresholds and their impact on the organic sector; (c) the functioning of the internal market and controls system, assessing in particular that the established practices do not lead to unfair competition or barriers to the production and marketing of organic products. The Nordic Aid is a national aid paid in the northern regions of Finland and Sweden in order to maintain agricultural activities. This aid was accepted by the Act of Accession, Article 142, in 1995. The implementation of the aid schemes has to be reported by the Commission to the Council every five years according to Article 143 (last report in 2007). The report shall inform about the implementation of the schemes and the results of the aid granted under this authorisation. The content of the report is based on information submitted by the national authorities. The Nordic Aid schemes focus on primary production. The schemes have monetary constraints as well as production level ceilings for different categories of produce. Milk production is by far the most important agricultural production line and the sector receiving most aid. The revised Energy Taxation Directive proposes a harmonised CO2 tax on all sectors, while exempting those sectors which have been recognised to be subject to a significant risk for carbon leakage. For industries participating in the EU emission trading scheme (ETS) the Commission has adopted a decision which lists the "carbon leakage sectors". For agriculture to benefit from the exemption from the proposed CO2 tax, evidence of its exposure to the carbon leakage risk is needed. So far no formal assessment of the carbon leakage risk in the sector has been made. However, considering the exposure of EU agriculture to global competition, it is reasonable to assume that such a risk is significant. This fact was acknowledged in the Commission Communication "A roadmap for moving to a competitive low carbon economy" (COM(2011) 112).

The OIV is an intergovernmental organisation drawing up recommendations and establishing references in vine and wine sectors. The EU, by virtue of the powers vested in it and the instruments it adopts, plays a leading role in matters with which the OIV deals. To ensure consistency in the Union's position in its external relations and facilitate coordination of common positions on matters of its competences, participation with a particular status of the EU in the OIV is considered necessary, while the essential roles of national experts is preserved. 2012/AGRI/016 Agriculture et développement rural Recommendation from the Commission to the Council to authorise the Commission to open and conduct negotiations with the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) on the terms and conditions for the participation of the European Union (particular status) 2012/AGRI/017 Agriculture et développement rural Annual financial report on the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) AGRI septembre 2012 Traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne: Art. 43(2) 2012/AGRI/018 Agriculture et développement rural Annual financial report on the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) AGRI septembre 2012 Traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne: Art. 43(2) 2012/AGRI/009 Agriculture et développement rural Commission Staff Working Document – Report on the recovery of export refunds for live bovine animals in 2010 AGRI 3ème trimestre 2012 2011/AGRI+/036 Industrie et Entrepreneuriat Agriculture et développement rural Commerce Proposals for a Council decision, one on the signature and a second on the conclusion of agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Union and the Republic of Tunisia concerning trade in agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products, and amending the Euro-Mediterranean agreement establishing and association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, abd the Repulblic of Tunisia, of the other part THE STATE OF ISRAEL, OF THE OTHER PART 2012/AGRI/004 Agriculture et développement rural Commission report to the EP and Council on the application of the school fruit scheme and possible legislative proposal AGRI 4ème trimestre 2012 Législation secondaire: R.

A positive convergence assessment on one or more Member States might lead to euro area enlargement.

On 27/11/2009 Ukrainian authorities sent a letter to the Commission requesting a Euratom loan to finance the nuclear safety upgrade of all the nuclear units in Ukraine. This upgrade is in line with the MoU signed in 2005 between the EU and Ukraine. Consequently we estimate that a decision on a Euratom loan to Ukraine could be feasible in 2010.

The cooperation between Euratom and the EIB in the Euratom lending context provides in essence that, in order to ensure a homogeneous treatment of the loan applications, the EIB will appraise Euratom loans according to its usual banking practices and using the same economic, financial and technical criteria applicable to EIB loans. The terms of the EIB-Euratom cooperation were initially set out in Council guidelines. Implementing rules for the cooperation have thus far been set out in exchanges of letters by the Commission and the EIB. Euratom and EIB deem it appropriate that the arrangements for cooperation between themselves in respect of potential financing of nuclear power projects within the European Union be updated and consolidated in a single document. Council Decision 2010/320/EU may be amended, on the basis of a Commission Recommendation, with a view to taking into account the most recent economic developments. The modifications made to the Council decision inevitably have an impact on the policy conditions mentioned in the MoU, thus warranting an update of the latter. The Commission has to empower Mr Rehn, in agreement with the President, to prepare, negotiate with the Greek authorities and sign, after approval by the lending Member States, the revisions to the MoU setting the detailed policy conditions attached to the loan, which are necessary as a result of the amended Council decision. According to the loan facility agreement between Greece and the euro-area Member States the quarterly releases of loans are conditional upon the euro-area Member States deciding favorably on the basis of the findings of verification by the Commission that the implementation of the economic policy by Greece accords with the Council Decision 2010/320/EU under Article 136 and 126(9) of the TFEU and the Memorandum of Understanding of Specific Economic Policy Conditionality (MoU). The Commission services, in liaison with the ECB and the IMF, undertake quarterly reviews of the MoUnderstanding and if necessary agree on an update of the MoU conditionality which is then reflected in an amendment to the aforesaid Council Decis ECFIN 2ème trimestre 2012 ECFIN 2ème trimestre 2012 ECFIN 2ème trimestre 2012 ECFIN juillet 2012 Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on establishing a EU External Platform for Cooperation and Development ECFIN juillet 2012 Decision 1080/2011/EU (art.11) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 requires the Commission to report annually on EIB financing operations carried out under guarantee, based on yearly reports provided by EIB.

ENER mars 2012 The general objective is to achieve the EU target of increasing the share of renewable energy to 20% by 2020 and contribute to reducing GHG emissions.The specific objectives are to: i) to optimize GHG savings and prevent adverse land use change, such as deforestation, and negative impacts on biodiversity and the environment; ii) to lift barriers to biomass trade and prevent potential disruptions and distortions to the internal market; iii) to ensure industry is given the certainty in investment conditions they need in order to meet the 2020 renewable energy target and deliver security of supply and green jobs benefits. The fulfilment of these objectives will contribute to ensure public endorsement for the use of biomass in electricity and heat generation. The implementing measures, in the form of binding network codes, will be the result of a procedure that is defined in the Third Internal Energy Market Package, to bring market integration forward. Through a structure in which the Commission defines priorities, the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) develops framework guidelines, and the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO) draws up network codes, detailed rules will be proposed through comitology that will harmonise the network access and operations in the EU.

The implementation of this transfer shall be depended on the conclusion of visa waiver agreements with these countries. If the Council adopts the draft Council Regulation the Commission shall consequently present mandates for the negotiation of a visa waiver agreements between the EC and these countries Evaluate the application of the AVMS Directive (every 3 years) and, possibly, make new legislative proposals if appropriate. The report will also evaluate if the quantitative and qualitative rules related to TV advertising accompanying or included in children's programmes have afforded the level of protection required. The overall objective of the strategy is to provide an EU-wide strategic framework that will allow coping with the amplitude, the global and changing nature of the use of new technologies by young people in Europe. It will aim at making children more responsible and informed users of ICT while at the same time providing them with the best protection means and fighting against illegal practices. The overall objective would enable young generations to acquire deeper insights on global challenges and events and develop essential skills contributing to Europe 2020 objectives of 'smart and inclusive growth'. This objective is in line with the overall objective of the Digital Agenda for Europe as a "digital European". The Commission Recommendation to the Member States will outline what the Commission expects from them in terms of the access to and management of publications and data, and in particular their policies in relation to open access. The Communication will set out the actions that the Commission intends to take itself on open access to publications and data in its management of research projects funded by the Union budget, and set this and the actions required from the MS in the Recommendation in the general context of access to and preservation of scientific information. Provide Member States “MS” with guidance in the application of universal service in a broadband environment, regarding in particular the new Recital 5 of the Citizens' Rights Directive (CRD), which recognises MS' flexibility in certain circumstances to include broadband connections within universal service obligations and decide on the speed of connection, in the light of national conditions. The guidance would cover the following elements: confirmation of the role of the universal service rules under the revised EU regulatory framework as a means to tackle the risk of social exclusion; criteria to be applied when MS consider whether to include broadband access within the scope of Universal Service; the principles and procedures applicable to the designation of universal service providers in the MS. The purpose of this Communication would be to report on the actions undertaken in response to the Competitiveness Council conclusions from December 2009 on the Communication "Moving the ICT Frontiers: strategy for research on future and emerging technologies in Europe" and to identify the challenges ahead. The Communication would in particular reinforce the links between Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) research and major policy challenges. To take stock of progress made on actions and targets of DAE (1) Delineation of the scope of interoperability information to be covered (protocols, API’s and file formats etc) and the market segmentation; (2) Legal frame: what can be done; (3) Typical licensing terms and conditions that could be standardised.

Objective: to monitor the promotion of European and independent works in EU television and on-demand audiovisual media services. To provide NRAs with guidance on how to calculate prices for selected access products (imposed under Art.12 of Access Directive) enabling alternative operators to get access to the networks of dominant operators. Currently, cost methodologies and cost bases used by NRAs differ widely, leading to inconsistent access prices in the EU. The key objective is to achieve consistent access pricing across Member States in order to avoid and/or remove barriers to market integration. To provide NRAs with guidance on how to tailor the obligation of nondiscrimination (Art. 10 of Access Directive) in relation to access by alternative operators to the networks of dominant operators. This includes the "last-resort" remedy of functional separation (Art.13a of Access Directive). The key objective is to achieve a (currently lacking) consistent imposition of conditions of equivalence on access providers across Member States. Following on the (2009)479 Communication "A public-private partnership on the Future Internet", the planned Communication will identify progress made to date, report on the implementation to date of the Future Internet-Public Private Partnership (FI-PPP); other Future Internet (FI) research, Future Internet MS activities and joint programming, and Future Internet innovation. A set of options will identify next steps for European FI policy and the way forward for 2013 – 2018 The purpose of the accompanying Staff Working Paper will aim to identify challenges/bottlenecks facing EU industry on the web, carry out a gap analysis, and identify priority actions that could strengthen the competitiveness of EU economy on the web. Report on EU coordination and follow-up actions based on WRC-12 A follow-up action of the Communication on Telemedicine COM(2008)689 final – to publish an analysis of the Community legal framework applicable to telemedicine services. The objective of this initiative is to provide legal clarity to telemedicine. This will be achieved mainly through the following steps: raising awareness about the existence of Community legislation which, although not being exclusively dedicated to telemedicine, is applicable to this area; analysing the provisions of this legislation applicable to telemedicine. Open the possibility for undertakings to trade or lease spectrum rights of use in the same bands in all Member States, as made possible by Article 9b(1) and (3) of the revised Framework Directive. In accordance with Article 4 of the amended e-Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC) the Commission may adopt technical implementing measures on the circumstances, format and procedures for the information and notification obligations relating to personal data breaches, following broad consultations and a comitology procedure. The bands 1900-1980 MHz, 2010-2025 MHz, 2110-2170 MHz (the 2 GHz band) are currently used in Europe to deploy UMTS networks. The 2 GHz band is also one of the bands, where the Commission, in close cooperation with the Member States, plans to implement technology and service neutrality through the application of the WAPECS concept. This would result in a technical harmonisation Decision on the 2 GHz band pursuant to the provisions of the Radio Spectrum Decision, establishing least restrictive technical conditions for the use of this band throughout Europe. The objective of the Communication is to identify how and ensure that public authorities make best use of the full range of relevant standards when procuring hardware, software and IT services, for example by selecting standards which can be implemented by all interested suppliers, allowing for more competition and reduced risk of lock-in. Practical guidelines will be included in the Communication.

This includes taking stock of existing initiatives, complementing various sectoral actions and giving prioritisation. This approach could provide an example for other Mediterranean sub regions. The Council and EP requested the Commission to submit an evaluation of progress made within the remit of the EU Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP) by December 2012. The Report will summarise the activities pursued by the Commission to reach the 6 strategic priorities defined in 2009: (i) integrated maritime governance, (ii) cross-cutting policy tools, (iii) definition of the boundaries of sustainability, (iv) sea-basin strategies, (v) international dimension of the IMP, (vi) economic growth, employment and innovation. The regulation is setting the annual fishing opportunities for the Member States for the commercially most important fish stocks in the Black Sea for 2013. This Communication should explore the potential of marine energy, apart from offshore wind, as a contribution to sustainable growth in maritime sectors and coastal regions, in particular in the Atlantic. To this end, the Communication will identify risks and opportunities, assess potential and propose actions. It will contribute to priority policy concerns including energy security, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and identifying technological export opportunities for EU businesses. 4ème trimestre 2012 4ème trimestre 2012 The report describes the evolution of Member States' fishing fleets during the previous year, especially in relation to the adjustment of the size of the fleet to available fishing resources, and assesses Member States' compliance with the fleet management provisions established by EU law.

The report explains the impact of the changes in the legal and institutional framework on the delegation of powers to the Commission and how the new framework fits into the Lamfalussy process. Moreover, it takes stock of the implementing measures adopted by the Commission on the basis of the preLisbon empowerment provisions and makes a general assessment of the need to amend these provisions. The purpose of the report is to review the application of the Third Anti Money Laundering Directive (2005/60/EC), on the basis of evidence gathered from an external study, work carried out by the ESAs joint Anti Money Laundering Committee AMLC), as well as consultations with private stakeholders and Member State regulators. New international standards will be adopted in February 2012 by the Financial Action Task Force, and the report will therefore also need to conside the implications for the EU framework. A new Directive is planned for proposal by the commission in autumn 2012 – the report will be an important milestone in its preparation. In order to ensure that a determination of the equivalence of third country accounting standards is made in all cases that are relevant to EU markets, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 1569/2007 establishing a definition of equivalence and a mechanism for the determination of equivalence. The Commission then adopted a Decision and a Regulation which identified as equivalent to IFRS the US GAAP, the Japanese GAAP, and accepted financial statements using the GAAP of China, Canada, India, and South Korea within the EU on a temporary basis, until 31 December 2011. This prolongation of the equivalence mechanism (all three acts) would give more time to countries which had committed to converge or replace their GAAP to IFRS and have made important progress towards that goal but not yet enough (e.g. India). The Prospectus Directive 2003/71/EC was recently amended in order to increase efficiency and legal clarity, enhance investor protection and reduce administrative burdens. The Commission aims to adopt delegated acts in relation to the format and modalities to disclose the consent to use the initial prospectus given by the issuer or the person responsible for drawing up the prospectus to financial intermediaries placing or subsequently reselling the securities. These delegated acts will also clarify some of the existing technical requirements. According to the empowerments granted by the legislator, the Commission is already in the process of adoption of delegated acts in relation to the format of the final terms to a base prospectus, to the format and content of the summary and to the proportionate disclosure regime introduced. The main issues likely to be covered by the future Treaty are the introduction of an exception to copyright to be incorporated into the national laws of WIPO MS to facilitate the availability of books in accessible formats for the benefit of persons with print disabilities and the subsequent cross-border exchange of accessible format copies made under the exception (*) La base juridique mentionnée est celle à ce stade par le Service chef de file; elle sera définitivement établie lors de l'adoption de l'acte par la Commission, sur base de son but et de son contenu PAGE 85/100 Commission actions expected to be adopted / Actions prévues pour adoption par la Commission: 30/03/2012 - 31/12/2012 NON-LEGISLATIVE ACTS / ACTES NON-LÉGISLATIFS Administration Rélations 2012/MARKT+/04 interinstitutionnel Communication on strengthening the governance of the single market 6 les Marché intérieur et services MARKT / SG 2012/MARKT/027 Report from the Commission to the Marché intérieur Council and the European Parliament on et services the effects of Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC on the economic cycle MARKT 27 juin 2012 2012/MARKT/019 Marché intérieur Your Europe, your rights et services MARKT juin 2012 2012/MARKT/029 Commission Delegated Act specifying Marché intérieur certain elements of the Regulation on et services short selling and certain aspects of Credit Default Swaps MARKT juin 2012 Commission Implementing Regulation laying down implementing technical Marché intérieur 2012/MARKT/030 standards according to the Regulation on et services short selling and certain aspects of Credit Default Swaps Commission Delegated Regulation supplementing the Regulation on short Marché intérieur 2012/MARKT/031 selling and certain aspects of Credit et services Default Swaps with regard to regulatory technical standards Commission consultation gathering stakeholder views on possible initiatives to Marché intérieur strengthen the recovery and resolution 2012/MARKT/032 arrangements applicable to financial et services institutions other than banks and large investment firms Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and Council on the Marché intérieur application of Directive 2006/48/EC 2012/MARKT/039 et services relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions to microcredit finance The Communication will present call for new commitments from Member States and announce new mechanisms to strengthen the governance of the single market. 12 juin 2012 Minimum capital requirements for banks under the CRD are risk sensitive: the higher the risk, the more capital a bank needs to hold to meet that risk and cover potential losses. As credit and market risks increase in a downturn, minimum capital requirements for banks will also increase to meet those higher risks. Banks may need to raise additional capital to meet these higher requirements at a time when opportunities for raising capital are scarce and costly. This may potentially constrain banks' lending capacity into the economy. Article 156 of he CRD requires the Commission to periodically monitor whether the CRD has significant effect on the economic cycle and, in the light of the examination, submit a biennial report to the European Parliament and to the Council together with any appropriate remedial measures. Further to a request of the European Parliament, draw up a list of main rights citizens and businesses have in the single market, in their capacity as economic actors.

As requested by the EP, the Action Plan will not only announce new initiatives in area identified as problematic but it will also take stock of the ongoing initiatives already developed by the Commission. This will allow the EU institutions, Member States and stakeholders to have a general overview of the various ongoing and foreseen actions in the Retail Sector. The adoption of an Action Plan will also demonstrate the importance attributed by the Commission to this sector, which is essential for the EU economy (4.2% of GDP, employing 17.5 million individuals and representing 20% of European SMEs). The communication will clarify the rules to ensure that infrastructure charges (vignettes and tolls) levied on foreign cars are proportional and nondiscriminatory.Experience has shown the need to clarify the treaty rules in this area. This Communication will assess the current situation, including current and future threats, and propose a strategic approach for the next five years for all transport modes. The objective is to have a properly functioning, transparent transport system which is secure and well-protected. Terrorism is multimodal and often international.

The main policy objectives of the Communication will be to draw lessons from the implementation of the EU's external aviation policy as defined in 2005, to analyse the achievements made since then, to describe the key challenges today and on this basis assess whether the 2005 policy is still fully appropriate and well suited to meet the challenges facing the EU in international aviation policy. Based on this assessment, recommendations may be made as to how best to design the EU's future external aviation policy. The initiative should identify the key provisions of the Regulation where diverging implementation in Member States/regions could jeopardise the achievements of the objectives of the Regulation and attempt to propose guidance to stakeholders and authorities on its correct interpretation. The initiative should also identify best regulatory and contractual practices. This Communication will present an inventory of past and future measures for internalising external costs in all modes of transport.

A central question is whether consumers, in this Internal Market which is European, competitive and liberalized, enjoy sufficient and reasonable protection especially in the case of air carrier bankruptcy. The need for assessment and the will to take action were confirmed by the European Commission to the European Parliament in October 2009. The objective of the impact assessment is to assess whether a new legal instrument, such as a Regulation, is needed to tackle this issue. The Commission will proceed to an evaluation of various scenarios presented in a previous study published in January 2009. A complementary public consultation on air passenger rights (that included airline bankruptcy) has been closed on 28 June 2010.

Multi-component integrated circuits (MCO) are a newer formrom of semiconductors that integrate other elements (e.g. sensors, lenses) with the chip. They are a particular strength of European industry and are not covered by the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) of 1997. The purpose is to establish duty free treatment with main trading partners (United States, Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan) similar to what has been done with the MCP Agreement of 2006 (multichip).

The Joint Communication will recall that strong partnership with the Pacific is of strategic importance for EU's external action and will make the "Pacific case" to EU Member States, to attract their bilateral climate change funds and offer them enhanced visibility for their contributions within a coordinated and financially substantial EU-wide initiative. This renewed and enhanced EU-wide engagement in the Pacific is expected to be the reference for a long-term strategy ensuring coherence and continuity in EU support.
