[01] Exposition à l'amiante pendant le travail: la législation communautaire reste
adéquate
Dans une communication concernant la protection des travailleurs contre les
risques liés à une exposition à l'amiante pendant le travail, la Commission
européenne estime que la législation communautaire actuellement en vigueur
reste adéquate et ne devrait être modifiée que s'il était décidé, au niveau de l'UE,
d'étendre l'interdiction de l'emploi d'amiante.
[02] Martin Bangemann calls for increased maritime cooperation between the
Baltic Sea region and the EU
In a speech at the Baltic Sea Conference in Helsinki today, Industry
Commissioner Martin Bangem, said today: "In the promotion of economic
development and maritime cooperation in the Baltic Sea region three main issues
are of vital interest: industrial cooperation, participation in the Information Society
and development of transport infrastructure and related services". The
Commission, he said, has already laid down initiatives to be taken for future
cooperation in these areas, at every level: State to State, Region to Region and
private initiatives with appropriate emphasis on business cooperation and human
resources as well as on infrastructure. "The MARIS initiative is the main tool to
promote the application of information technologies in the maritime sector. This
initiative is included in the 11 pilot projects the G-7 States identified at their
meeting on information technology in Brussels in February 1995. It was clear
from the beginning that non G-7 countries should not be excluded. It is our
purpose to enlarge MARIS to the Baltic and to invite maritime players in this
region to an active participation in the sub-projects."
