These models differ from the model notices in the annexes to the Directives.(3) The models laid down in the Directives now need to be modified in order to contribute to simplifying the implementation of the advertising rules while adapting them to the electronic means developed as part of the information system for public procurement (SIMAP), launched by the Commission in collaboration with the Member States. Moreover, the use of standard forms and the possible use of the common procurement vocabulary (CPV) will contribute to greater transparency in the market. For clarification purposes, it is suitable to replace the abovementioned annexes by the standard form.(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinions of both the Advisory Committee on Public Procurement and the Advisory Committee on Telecommunications Procurement,HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 11.

               In accordance with the statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (6) concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be applicable to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty which are already in force, those instruments must be adjusted in accordance with the applicable procedures.

               (4)

               The Commission should be empowered in particular to amend certain annexes to Directive 79/409/EEC in the light of scientific and technical progress. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 79/409/EEC, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

               (5)

               Directive 79/409/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               Since the amendments made to Directive 79/409/EEC by this Directive are technical in nature and concern committee procedure only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States. It is therefore not necessary to lay down provisions to that effect,

         HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Council Directive 71/18/EEC of 16 December 1970 laying down detailed provisions for the attainment of freedom of establishment in respect of self-employed persons providing agricultural and horticultural services

Official Journal L 008 , 11/01/1971 P. 0024 - 0028 Finnish special edition: Chapter 6 Volume 1 P. 0102  Danish special edition: Series I Chapter 1971(I) P. 0021  Swedish special edition: Chapter 6 Volume 1 P. 0102  English special edition: Series I Chapter 1971(I) P. 0023  Greek special edition: Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0131  Spanish special edition: Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0124  Portuguese special edition Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0124

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 16 December 1970  laying down detailed provisions for the attainment of freedom of establishment in respect of self-employed persons providing agricultural and horticultural services  (71/18/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 54 (2) and (3) thereof;  Having regard to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment 1, and in particular Title IV F 6 thereof;  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;  Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament 2;  Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 3;  Whereas the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment lays down a timetable for the attainment of freedom of establishment as regards "agricultural services" which differs from that laid down in respect of freedom to provide such services ; whereas, in accordance with this latter timetable, the Council adopted on 14 December 1964 a Directive laying down detailed provisions for the attainment of freedom to provide services in agriculture and horticulture ; whereas freedom of establishment in respect of agriculture and horticulture is to be attained by the end of the transitional period;  Whereas certain activities are common both to agricultural services and to forestry, in particular ploughing ; whereas freedom of establishment was attained in respect of forestry by the Council Directive of 24 October 1967 4 concerning freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in forestry and logging ; whereas agricultural services provided in connection with the work of mixed forestry and agricultural concerns are already covered by that Directive;  Whereas other Directives will be adopted in respect of activities of agronomists and veterinary surgeons and in respect of animal care centres;  Whereas freedom of establishment in respect of the construction of plant for water catchment, irrigation and drainage, and of land draining and reclamation operation-activities often connected with certain agricultural services covered by this Directive-has been attained under the Council Directives of 7 July 1964 5 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons in manufacturing and processing industries falling within ISIC Major Groups 23-40 (industry and small craft industries) and concerning transitional measures in respect of activities of self-employed persons in manufacturing and processing industries falling within ISIC Major Groups 23-40 (industry and small craft industries);  Whereas the General Programme provides that restrictions on the right to join professional or trade organisations must be abolished where the professional activities of the person concerned necessarily involve the exercise of this right;  Whereas the conditions of movement and residence for all persons enjoying freedom of establishment were the subject of two Directives adopted by the Council on 25 February 1964 6;  1OJ No 2, 15.1.1962, p. 36/62. 2OJ No C 139, 28.10.1969, p. 20. 3OJ No C 10, 27.1.1970, p. 19. 4OJ No 263, 30.10.1967, p. 6. 5OJ No 117, 23.7.1964, pp. 1880/64 and 1863/64. 6OJ No 56, 4.4.1964, pp. 845/64 and 850/64.                 Whereas, where necessary, Directives have been or will be adopted on the co-ordination of the safeguards required by Member States of companies or firms for the protection of the interests of members and of others;  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 Member States shall abolish, in respect of the natural persons and companies or firms covered by Title I of the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment (hereinafter called beneficiaries"), the restrictions referred to in Title III of that General Programme affecting the right of establishment as regards the activities specified in Article 2.   Article 2 1. The provisions of this Directive shall apply to the agricultural and horticultural services covered by Annex V to the General Programme, namely:    (a) technical assistance;       (b) spraying, weed killing and pest control;       (c) pruning;       (d) picking, packing and presentation;       (e) operation of irrigation systems;       (f) letting out for hire of agricultural machinery;       (g) soil cultivation and tillage;       (h) reaping and harvesting, threshing, baling and collecting, whether by mechanical or non-mechanical means;       (i) activities not elsewhere specified.         2. For the purposes of this Directive, the term "agricultural and horticultural services" refers to all activities falling within Group 011 of the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (Statistical Office of the United Nations, Statistical Papers, Series M, No 4, Rev. 1, New York, 1958), and in particular:    (a) general agriculture, including the growing of field crops, viticulture, and the cultivation of tropical produce ; growing of fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, flowers, both in the open and under glass ; landscaping;       (b) raising of livestock, poultry, rabbits, fur-bearing or other animals, bees ; and the production of meat, milk, wool, skins and fur, eggs, honey.         3. A detailed list of the services to be included under the various headings in paragraph 1 is given in the Annex to this Directive.   Article 3 1. Member States shall in particular abolish the following restrictions:    (a) those which, in pursuance of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action, prevent beneficiaries from establishing themselves in the host country under the same conditions and with the same rights as nationals of that country:       (b) those existing by reason of administrative practices which result in treatment being applied to beneficiaries that is discriminatory by comparison with that applied to nationals.         2. The restrictions to be abolished shall include in particular those arising out of measures which prevent or limit establishment by beneficiaries by the following means:    (a) in Belgium  - the obligation to hold a carte professionnelle (Article 1 of the Law of 19 February 1965);        (b) in Luxembourg  - the limited period of validity of authorisations granted to foreign nationals (Article 21 of the Law of 2 June 1962).          Article 4 Member States shall in particular ensure:    (a) that beneficiaries pursuing activities in their territory enjoy the same rights as their own nationals with regard to:      - access to the various forms of credit, aid and subsidy for which their laws provide;           - the customary taxation allowances, in particular those relating to the purchase of motor fuel used in performing the service in question;                  (b) that beneficiaries have the same rights as their own nationals with regard to the conclusion of contracts under public or private law in the pursuit of their professional activity and in particular contracts for work which falls within the scope of programmes to improve the structure of agriculture, including the submission of tenders in this connection, and participation as a main contractor or as sub-contractor;        (c) that, where under the provisions of law in force in their territory persons wishing to carry out certain work, in particular that which involves the use of toxic or dangerous products, are required to obtain special authorisation, beneficiaries are able to seek and obtain such authorisation with no greater difficulty than Member States' own nationals.          Article 5 1. Member States shall ensure that beneficiaries have the right to join professional or trade organisations under the same conditions and with the same rights and obligations as their own nationals.  2. The right to join professional or trade organisation shall entail eligibility for election or appointment to high office in such organisations. However, such posts may be reserved for nationals where, in pursuance of any provision laid down by law or regulation, the organisation concerned is corrected with the exercise of official authority.  3. In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, membership of the Chambre de commerce, the Chambre des metiers or of the Chambre de l'agriculture, shall not give beneficiaries the right to take part in the election of the administrative organs of those Chambers.   Article 6 No Member State shall grant to any of its nationals who go to another Member State for the purpose of pursuing any activity referred to in Article 2 any aid liable to distort the conditions of establishment.   Article 7 1. Where a Member State requires of its own nationals wishing to pursue any activity referred to in Article 2 proof of good character and proof that they have not previously been declared bankrupt, or proof of either one of these, that State shall accept as sufficient evidence, in respect of beneficiaries, the production of an extract from the "judicial record" or, failing this, of an equivalent document issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority in the country of origin or in the country whence the beneficiary comes showing that these requirements have been met.  2. Where the country of origin or the country whence the beneficiary comes does not issue such documentary proof of no previous bankruptcy, such proof may be replaced by a declaration on oath made by the person concerned before a judicial or administrative authority, a notary, or a competent professional or trade body, in the country of origin or in the country whence that person comes.  3. Where a Member State imposes on its own nationals wishing to take up certain activities involving the use of pesticides or toxic products certain requirements as to good character or good repute, and proof that such requirements are satisfied cannot be obtained from the document referred to in paragraph 1, that State shall accept as sufficient evidence in respect of nationals of other Member States a certificate issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority in the country of origin or in the country whence the foreign national comes indicating that these requirements have been met. Such certificates shall relate to the specific facts regarded as relevant by the host country.  4. Documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 or with paragraph 2 may not be produced more than three months after their date of issue.  5. Member States shall, within the time limit laid down in Article 8, designate the authorities and bodies competent to issue these documents and shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof.   Article 8 Member States shall adopt the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within six months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Article 3 This Directive is addressed to the Member States.     Done at Brussels, 7 December 1981.  For the Council  The President  CARRINGTON     ANNEX  "ANNEX II METHOD OF DETERMINING AIRBORNE NOISE EMITTED TO THE OPERATOR'S POSITION(S) BY MACHINES USED OUTDOORS     1. AIM  The aim of this method is to determine the noise emitted to the operator's position(s) by all categories of machines, parts of machines or installations used outdoors, hereinafter called "machine", and defined in Article 1 of the Directive.  It is not applicable for measurements to determine directly the level of an operator's exposure at his post.  The values obtained by this method represent the data that make it possible to determine the equivalent continuous sound pressure level emitted by machines to the operator's position(s). Save as otherwise indicated, these values include all tolerances.  The operator's position(s) of the various machines is (are) specified in the separate Directives.  This method is applicable unless separate Directives lay down different or supplementary provisions taking into account the special characteristics of certain types of machine.       2. SCOPE      2.1. Type of noise  This method is applicable to all types of noise emitted to the operator's position(s) by machines.           2.2. Type of machine  This method is applicable to all machines with one or more operator's positions.                  3. DEFINITIONS      3.1. Sound pressure level LpA  See Section 3.1 in Annex I.           3.2. Equivalent continuous sound pressure level LAeq (t1, t2)  The equivalent continuous sound pressure level LAeq (t1, t2) is obtained by applying the A-weighting as defined in IEC publication 179, 1973, second edition, to the equivalent continuous sound pressure level Leq (t1, t2) defined below. This weighting is obtained inter alia by using the A-weighting filter in the measuring system.  The equivalent continuous sound pressure level for a limited period between intervals t1 and t2, Leq (t1, t2), expressed in decibels, of a noise at a given point is defined by: >PIC FILE= "T0021279">    where:  p(t) is the instantaneous value of the sound pressure at this point, expressed in Pa;  Po is the reference sound pressure, equivalent to 20 ¶Pa;  Lp(t) is the sound pressure level at a given time at that point, expressed in dB;  t1 and t2 are the points indicating respectively the beginning and end of the reference period determining the Leq;  t2 - t1 is the measurement interval.                  4. CRITERION TO BE USED TO EXPRESS RESULTS  The acoustic criterion for the operator's position(s) of machines is expressed by the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level LAeq (t1, t2).       5. MEASURING INSTRUMENTS  The specifications laid down in Section 5 of Annex I are to be used, with the extra requirement added to point 5.3 that the external diameter of the microphone must not exceed 13 mm.       6. PRESENCE OF THE OPERATOR  The separate Directives specify whether the operator should be present or not during the tests.      6.1. Clothing specifications  When he is present during the measurements, the operator must wear normal working clothes and all the equipment (e.g. safety helmet) normally prescribed for the post in question.           6.2. Height specifications of the operator(s)        6.2.1. Standing operator  The height of the operator (wearing shoes) must be 1 775 ± 0 705 m.               6.2.2. Seated operator  The height of the operator(s) when seated (h) must be 0 793 ± 0 705 m, as shown in Figure 1. >PIC FILE= "T0021280">                                   7. MICROPHONE LOCATIONS      7.1. General  The microphone locations are determined by the separate Directives. General guidance for their positioning is given in Sections 7.2 and 7.3.           7.2. Microphone location with no operator present        7.2.1. At the operator's position where be is usually in a standing position  The microphone is placed at the position normally occupied by the operator(s), at a height of 1 760 ± 0 725 m above the level on which the operator(s) stand(s).               7.2.2. At the operator's position where he is usually in a seated position  The microphone is placed at point A as shown in Figure 2. >PIC FILE= "T0021281">   A is the microphone position.  SIP is the seat reference point as defined by ISO 5353, 1978. This point is to be determined with the seat placed as near as possible to the mid-point of its horizontal and vertical adjustment range, the suspension being depressed until the seat reaches the mid-point of its dynamic range.                          7.3. Microphone locations with operator present  The microphone is placed at 200 ± 20 mm from the median plane of the head and in line with the eyes and to the side of the head where the LAeq (t1, t2) is highest.  Note:  To facilitate the placing of the microphone, it can conveniently be mounted on a frame or the helmet or a shoulder harness worn by the operator.   For measurements when the operator is seated, the seat must be adjusted to allow the operator to reach the machine controls comfortably.                  8. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS      8.1. Measuring site  The machine must, as far as possible, be installed in conditions identical to those specified in Section 6.3 of Annex I.           8.2. Background noise  Background noise at each measuring point must be at least 10 dB (A) lower than the noise emitted by the machine.                  9. INSTALLATION AND OPERATING CONDITIONS      9.1. General  The precise conditions required for installing and operating the machines are laid down in the Annexes to the corresponding separate Directives.  These conditions must, as far as possible, be the same as those laid down in the Annexes to the separate Directives on determination of the sound power level of the machine.           9.2. Operation of machines with adjustable features (such as windows that may be opened)        9.2.1. If the machine has any adjustable features which, although not directly associated with its operation, may affect the value of LAeq (t1, t2) separate sound tests must be carried out and covered in the report referred to in Section 12.  Details of the adjustable features to be taken into consideration are given in the Annexes to the separate Directives.               9.2.2. In the case of a machine with an operator's cab, the following rules should in principle be observed:          (a) if the cab is fitted with and air-conditioning and/or ventilating device, the measurements are carried out with the doors and windows closed and the air-conditioning and/or ventilating devices operating at maximum speed;                   (b) if the cab is so designed that it may also be used with the doors and windows open and it has no air-conditioning and/or ventilating system, the measurements are carried out first with the doors and windows closed, then open ; the higher of the two figures obtained the one to be used.                                                    10. MEASUREMENTS AND CALCULATION OF RESULTS      10.1. Measurement interval T (= t2 - t1)  The measurement interval T at each measuring point is to be specified in the separate Directives. It must in principle be at least 15 seconds ; in the case of a work cycle, it must be equal to the duration of a whole number of work cycles.           10.2. Determination of the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level (LAeq (t1, t2))  This level is obtained either directly by integrating p2(t) or by sampling of the pressure level LpA.         10.2.1. By integrating p(t)2  LAeq (t1, t2) may be directly obtained by integrating the square of the A-weighted sound pressure during a period equal to t2 - t1 in accordance with the formula given in Section 3.2.  Digital or analogue integration may be used, e.g. with an integrating sound-level meter.               10.2.2. By using the A-weighted sound pressure levels LpA  The sound pressure level LpA is measured by means of an instrument defined in Section 5.2 of Annex I.  The number of measurements and the measurement interval will be determined for each type of machine in the separate Directives.                          10.3. Measurement of disturbances  The requirements are laid down in Section 7.1.3 of Annex I.           10.4. Corrections to be made to measurements        10.4.1. Disturbances (temperature, humidity, altitude, etc.)  The requirements are laid down in Section 8.6.3 of Annex I.               10.4.2. Background noise  No correction is to be made for background noise.                                 11. NOISE OF AN IMPULSIVE CHARACTER  (Section 11 is being revised to take account of technical progress, the final text will be introduced by the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress.)       12. DATA TO BE RECORDED  The report must contain the necessary data relating to the measurement of noise at operator's positions in accordance with Section 10 of Annex I.  Additional information must be given on the layout of the operator's position during the measurements.  The report must also confirm that the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure levels LAeq (t1, t2) were obtained strictly according to this method of measurement and the separate Directives.  Note:  If the measurements at the operator's position are carried out when the sound pressure level of the machine is determined, the data must be recorded in a single report."
