Council Directive 66/162/EEC of 28 February 1966 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons engaging in the provision of electricity, gas, water and sanitary services (ISIC Division 5)

Official Journal 042 , 08/03/1966 P. 0584 - 0588 Finnish special edition: Chapter 6 Volume 1 P. 0043  Danish special edition: Series I Chapter 1965-1966 P. 0083  Swedish special edition: Chapter 6 Volume 1 P. 0043  English special edition: Series I Chapter 1965-1966 P. 0093  Greek special edition: Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0060  Spanish special edition: Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0065  Portuguese special edition Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0065

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 28 February 1966 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons engaging in the provision of electricity, gas, water and sanitary services (ISIC Division 5) (66/162/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 54 (2) and (3), and 63 (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 A thereof;  Having regard to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom to provide services, 2 and in particular Title V C thereof;  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;  Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament 3;  Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 4;  Whereas the General Programmes provide for the abolition, before the end of the second year of the second stage, of all discriminatory treatment based on nationality as regards establishment and provision of services in the electricity, gas, steam, water and sanitary services sectors;  Whereas this Directive covers activities pertaining to the operation of services of general economic interest, but does not affect the application of Article 90 of the Treaty to undertakings entrusted with the operation of such services;  Whereas, in order to ensure that this Directive is correctly applied, it is necessary to define its scope by specifying what is meant by activities of self-employed persons in the sectors in question;  Whereas production and distribution include all operations the purpose of which is to make gas, electricity or water available in usable form to the consumer ; whereas consequently any treatment or transforming activities carried out in connection with production, catchment, transmission or transportation and distribution come within the scope of this Directive;  Whereas when applying this Directive account should be taken of the various modern techniques covered by the term'gasworks'in its broadest sense, and whereas production and distribution of steam also include production and distribution of hot water for heating purposes;  Whereas the Group relating to sanitary services covers in particular street cleansing operations and the disposal of industrial or domestic waste and of sewage, but does not cover auxiliary health services, which fall within ISIC Group 822;  Whereas certain activities which fall within the general scope of energy or water supply are not covered by this Directive, but fall within other Groups of the nomenclature used as a basis for drawing up the timetable in the General Programme for liberalisation ; whereas the activities in question include in particular the exploitation of sources of natural gas, production of gas in coke ovens, in so far as this latter is not covered by Group 512 of ISIC, and the production of gas by oil refineries ; whereas the time limit for liberalisation laid down in the General Programme is the same for all these various activities ; whereas it follows that in the normal course of events all activities relating to the production of manufactured gas should be liberalised by the same date;   1 OJ No 2, 15.1.1962, p. 36/62.  2 OJ No 2, 15.1.1962, p. 32/62.  3 OJ No 96, 2.6.1965, p. 1682/65.  4 OJ No 103, 12.6.1965, p. 1789/65.   Whereas the ISIC (International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Statistical Office of the United-Nations, Series M, No 4 Rev. 1, New York, 1958) excludes the transportation of natural gas as an independent service from activities relating to energy supply (Major Group 51), by classifying this activity under "Transport not elsewhere classifed" (Group 719) ; whereas however the transportation of natural gas as an independent service is, like that of gas of any other kind, closely connected with the activities falling within ISIC Group 512, which this Directive is intended to cover ; whereas such transportation should therefore be included in this Directive, the stage at which it is to be liberalised remaining as laid down in the timetable in the General Programme;  Whereas, as regards transmission of electricity and transportation by pipeline of gas and of water, this Directive is to apply only to freedom of establishment;  Whereas separate Directives, 1 applicable to all activities of self-employed persons, concerning provisions relating to the movement and residence of beneficiaries, and where necessary Directives 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, have been or will be adopted;  Whereas, for the purposes of applying measures concerning right of establishment and freedom to provide services, companies or firms are to be treated in the same way as natural persons who are nationals of Member States, subject only to the conditions laid down in Article 58 and, where necessary, to the condition that there should exist a real and continuous link with the economy of a Member State ; whereas therefore no company or firm may be required, in order to obtain the benefit of such measures, to fulfil any additional condition, and in particular no company or firm may be required to obtain any authorisation not required of a domestic company or firm wishing to pursue a particular economic activity ; whereas, however, such uniformity of treatment should not prevent Member States from requiring that a company having a share capital should operate in their countries under the description by which it is known in the law of the Member State under which it is constituted, and that it should indicate the amount of its subscribed capital on the business papers which it uses in the host Member State;  Whereas the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment 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 position of paid employees accompanying a person providing services or acting on his behalf will be governed by the provisions laid down in pursuance of Articles 48 and 49 of the Treaty;  Whereas the abolition of the restrictions in question need not be preceded or accompanied either by measures for the co-ordination of the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in this field of activity, or by measures concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications;  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 Programmes for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services (hereinafter called "beneficiaries"), the restrictions referred to in Title III of those General Programmes affecting the right to take up and pursue the activities specified in Article 2 of this Directive. As regards the transmission of electricity and transportation by pipeline of gas, steam and water, this Directive applies only to the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment.   Article 2 1. The provisions of this Directive shall apply to activities of self-employed persons being activities falling within Major Groups 51-52 in Annex I to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment or within Group ex 719 in Annex III to that same General Programme, namely the production, distribution and transmission or transportation of electricity, gas, water and steam and the provision of sanitary services.  2. These activities comprise:    (a) the generation, transmission and distribution of  electricity;       (b) the manufacture of gas in gasworks and the distribution  to consumers of gas of all types, including  the transportation by pipeline of gas of all  types carried out as an independent service;       (c) the production and distribution of steam for heating  and power purposes;       (d) water services, i.e. catchment, purification and  distribution of water to consumers;       (e) waste and sewage disposal (sanitary services).          1 OJ No 56, 4.4.1964, p. 845/64.    Article 3 In accordance with the General Programmes, this Directive shall not apply to:    (a) the exploitation of sources of natural gas (including  prospecting and drilling);       (b) construction work carried out by private enterprise  or by public authorities, in particular the  construction of plant for the production of electricity  or gas ; construction work for water catchment,  irrigation and regulation of watercourses ;  the installation of sanitary services and the laying  of lines for the transmission of electricity and of  mains and pipelines for gas, water, etc.          Article 4 1. Member States shall in particular abolish the following restrictions:    (a) those which prevent beneficiaries from establishing  themselves or providing services 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;       (c) those which, as a result of rules or practices,  prevent beneficiaries from being granted licences  or authorisations, or subject beneficiaries to restrictions  or to conditions imposed on them alone.         2. The restrictions to be abolished shall include in particular those arising out of measures which prevent or limit establishment or provision of services 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 France      - the obligation to hold a carte d'identité  d'étranger commerçant (Décret-loi of 12 November  1938, Décret of 2 February 1939, Law  of 8 October 1940);           - the requirement that the following shall be of  French nationality:   persons holding licences or permits to utilise  hydraulic power (Article 26 of the Law of 16  October 1919) or thermal energy (Décret of  30 July 1935) ; persons holding licences or permits  to provide certain public services (Décret-loi  of 12 November 1938) ; in the case of  companies or firms, the chairman of the Board  of Directors (Conseil d'administration), the  executive directors (administrateurs délégués),  the managers (gérants), the executives  authorised to sign on behalf of the company  (directeurs ayant la signature sociale), the  auditors (commissaires aux comptes) and  two-thirds of the members of a firm (associés  en nom collectif), or of the members of the  Board of Directors (administrateurs) or of the  Board of Management (Conseil de direction)  or of the Supervisory Board (Conseil de surveillance);   -  the requirement that, subject to any exception  authorised by Décret, any company or firm  holding such licence or permit shall have  been formed under French law (Article 26 of  the Law of 16 October 1919);             (c) in Italy   -  the requirement that a person shall be of  Italian nationality in order to be eligible for  enrolment in the register of undertakings  (Article 31 of Law No 366 of 20 March 1941,  Raccolta, trasporto e smaltimento dei rifiuti  solidi urbani);       (d) in Luxembourg   -  the limited period of validity of authorisations  granted to foreign nationals pursuant to  Article 21 of the Luxembourg Law of 2 June  1962 (Mémorial A No 31 of 19 June 1962).          Article 5 1. Member States shall ensure that beneficiaries under this Directive 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. In the case of establishment, membership 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 involved in the exercise of official authority.  3. In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, membership of the Chambre de Commerce or of the Chambre des Métiers shall not give beneficiaries under this Directive 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 host Member State requires of its own nationals wishing to take up any activity referred to in Article 2 proof of good repute 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 nationals of other Member States, 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 the country whence the foreign national comes showing that these requirements have been met.  2. Where the country of origin or the country whence the foreign national 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. Documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 or with paragraph 2 may not be produced more than three months after their date of issue.  4. 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.  5. Where in the host Member State proof of financial standing is required, that State shall regard certificates issued by banks in the country of origin or in the country whence the foreign national comes as equivalent to certificates issued in its own territory.   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 9 This Directive is addressed to the Member States.     Done at Brussels, 28 February 1966.  For the Council  The President  P. WERNER

Council Directive 68/366/EEC of 15 October 1968 laying down detailed provisions concerning transitional measures in respect of activities of self-employed persons in the food manufacturing and beverage industries (ISIC Major Groups 20 and 21)

Official Journal L 260 , 22/10/1968 P. 0012 - 0016 Finnish special edition: Chapter 6 Volume 1 P. 0076  Danish special edition: Series I Chapter 1968(II) P. 0500  Swedish special edition: Chapter 6 Volume 1 P. 0076  English special edition: Series I Chapter 1968(II) P. 0509  Greek special edition: Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0100  Spanish special edition: Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0097  Portuguese special edition Chapter 06 Volume 1 P. 0097

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 15 October 1968  laying down detailed provisions concerning transitional measures in respect of activities of self-employed persons in the food manufacturing and beverage industries (ISIC Major Groups 20 and 21)  (68/366/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 54 (2), 57, 63 (2) and 66 thereof;  Having regard to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment 1 and in particular the second and third paragraphs of Title V thereof;  Having regard to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom to provide services 2 and in particular the second and third paragraphs of Title VI thereof;  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;  Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament 3;  Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 4;  Whereas, besides making provision for the abolition of restrictions, the General Programmes provide that it should be examined whether such abolition should be preceded, accompanied or followed by mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications, and by the co-ordination of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action concerning the taking up and pursuit of the activities in question, and whether, if need be, transitional measures should be adopted pending such recognition or co-ordination;  Whereas not all Member States impose conditions for the taking up and pursuit of activities in the food manufacturing and beverage industries ; whereas the definition of small craft industry, and hence the dividing line between small craft activities and industrial activities, varies from one Member State to another ; whereas, moreover, while in some cases there is freedom to take up and pursue small craft activities, in other cases there are stringent provisions making the taking up and pursuit of those activities subject to possession of formal qualifications;  Whereas the Council, at the time of approving the General Programmes, found that in respect of small craft industries co-ordination and recognition pose problems the solution of which requires detailed preparation;  Whereas it is therefore not possible to effect the co-ordination provided for at the same time as the abolition of restrictions ; whereas such co-ordination must be effected at a later date;  Whereas, in the absence of immediate co-ordination, it nevertheless appears desirable to make it easier to attain freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of the activities in question by the adoption of transitional measures of the kind envisaged in the General Programmes ; whereas this should be done primarily in order to avoid causing exceptional difficulties for nationals of Member States in which the taking up of such activities is not subject to any conditions;  Whereas, in order to prevent such difficulties arising, the main object of the transitional measures should be to allow, as sufficient qualification for taking up the activities in question in host States which have rules governing the taking up of such activities, the fact that the occupation has been pursued in a Community country other than the host country for a reasonable period of time, such period being, in cases where no previous training is required, sufficiently recent to ensure that the person concerned possesses professional knowledge equivalent to that required of the host country's own nationals ; whereas transitional measures applicable to clearly defined activities may at the same time provide that Member States, pending mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications, will henceforth consider enrolment in the professional register of  1OJ No 2, 15.1.1962, p. 36/62. 2OJ No 2, 15.1.1962, p. 32/62. 3OJ No 23, 5.2.1966, p. 349/66. 4OJ No 14, 25.1.1966, p. 206/66.   another Member State as sufficient evidence of knowledge and ability;  Whereas in respect of activities of self-employed persons falling within ISIC Major Groups 23-40 (Industry and small craft industries) the Council has already adopted a Directive on transitional measures, 1 and whereas the present Directive must be harmonised with those transitional measures;  Whereas, owing to differences in the views taken by the various Member States of certain of the activities falling within the provisions of the Council Directive 2 of 15 October 1968 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons in the food manufacturing and beverage industries (ISIC Major Groups 20 and 21), it can happen that an activity which in one State is regarded as falling within the food manufacturing industry or the beverage industry may in another be regarded as falling within retail trade or within the personal services sector ; whereas, to resolve any difficulties caused by such differences, the definitions given in the laws of the host country should be referred to in each case in order to determine which Directive on transitional measures should be applied;  Whereas, as regards States which do not make the taking up of the activities in question subject to any rules, in order to avoid a disproportionate influx into those States of persons who are unable to satisfy the conditions laid down in respect of the taking up and pursuit of such activities in the country whence they come, provision should be made for those States to be authorised, where appropriate and in respect of one or more activities, to require nationals of other Member States to furnish proof that they are qualified to pursue the activity in question in the country whence they come;  Whereas, however, considerable caution should be exercised in granting such authorisations, for, if too generally applied, they might hinder freedom of movement ; whereas they should therefore be limited, both as to their period of validity and as to their scope, and, as is generally provided in the Treaty in respect of the administration of protective measures, the granting of such authorisations should be entrusted to the Commission;  Whereas the main purpose of the measures provided for in this Directive will disappear once the co-ordination of conditions for the taking up and pursuit of the activities in question and the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other formal evidence of qualifications has been achieved;  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 1. Member States, acting in accordance with the provisions hereinafter laid down, shall adopt the following transitional measures in respect of establishment or provision of services in their territories by natural persons or companies or firms covered by Title I of the General Programmes (hereinafter called "beneficiaries") wishing to engage in activities as self-employed persons in the food manufacturing and beverage industries.  2. The activities in question are those covered by the Council Directive of 15 October 1968 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons in the food manufacturing and beverage industries (ISIC Major Groups 20 and 21).   Article 2 Where, according to the law of a Member State, certain activities fall not within the food manufacturing industry or the beverage industry but rather within retail trade or within the personal services sector, the appropriate Directive laying down detailed provisions concerning transitional measures in the field in question shall apply to those activities in that Member State.   Article 3 Member States in which the taking up or pursuit of any activity referred to in Article 1 (2) in subject to possession of certain qualifications shall ensure that any beneficiary who applies therefor be provided, before he establishes himself or before he begins to pursue any activity on a temporary basis, with information as to the rules governing the occupation which he proposes to pursue.   Article 4 1. Where, in a Member State, the taking up or pursuit of any activity referred to in Article 1 (2) is dependent on the possession of general, commercial or professional knowledge and ability, that Member State shall accept as sufficient evidence of such knowledge and ability, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, the fact that the activity in question has been pursued in another Member State for any of the following periods:    (a) six consecutive years either in an independent capacity or as a person responsible for managing an undertaking ; or       (b) three consecutive years either in an independent capacity or as a person responsible for managing  1OJ No 117, 23.7.1964, p. 1863/64. 2OJ No L 260, 22.10.1968, p. 9.   an undertaking, where the beneficiary can prove that for the occupation in question he has received at least three years' previous training, attested by a certificate recognised by the State, or regarded by the competent professional body as fully satisfying its requirements ; or       (c) three consecutive years in an independent capacity, where the beneficiary can prove that he has pursued the occupation in question for at least five years in a non-independent capacity ; or       (d) five consecutive years in a managerial capacity, not less than three years of which were spent in technical posts with responsibility for one or more departments of the undertaking, where the beneficiary can prove that for the occupation in question he has received at least three years' previous training, attested by a certificate recognised by the State or regarded by the competent professional or trade body as fully satisfying its requirements.      In the cases referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (c) pursuit of the activity shall not have ceased more than ten years before the date when the application provided for in Article 5 (3) is made. However, where a shorter period is laid down in a Member State for its own nationals, that period may also be applied in respect of beneficiaries.   2. The Federal Republic of Germany shall, in respect of the taking up and pursuit of the activity of technical manager of a dairy or of a milk processing undertaking, accept as sufficient evidence the fact that the activity in question has been pursued in another Member State for any of the following periods:    (a) eight consecutive years either in an independent capacity or as a person responsible for managing an undertaking, on condition that pursuit of the activity did not cease more than ten years before the date when the application provided for in Article 5 (3) is made ; or       (b) four consecutive years either in an independent capacity or as a person responsible for managing an undertaking, or for six consecutive years in a managerial capacity, not less than three years of which were spent in technical posts with responsibility for one or more departments of the undertaking, where the beneficiary can prove that for the occupation in question he has received at least three years previous training, attested by a certificate recognised by the State or regarded by a competent professional body as fully satisfying its requirements.         3. Proof of professional competence to be a technical manager of an undertaking manufacturing special foods for babies and children, or dietetic foods, may in Italy be furnished by the person concerned in the form of a diploma issued in another Member State corresponding, as regards the level attained and occupational training received, to the diploma required under Italian law, thereby permitting the person concerned to be enrolled, only in respect of the activity concerned, on a special professional register The person concerned shall at the same time furnish proof that he has pursued an activity in the field in question, in an independent capacity, or as a person responsible for managing an undertaking, or as technical manager, over a period of at least three consecutive years in another Member State.   Article 5 For the purpose of applying Article 4:    1. Member States in which the taking up and pursuit of any occupation referred to in Article 1 (2) is subject to the possession of general, commercial or professional knowledge or ability shall, with the assistance of the Commission, inform the other Member States of the main characteristics of that occupation (description of the activities covered by the occupation).       2. The competent authority designated for this purpose by the country whence the beneficiary comes shall certify what professional activities were actually pursued by the beneficiary and the duration of those activities. Certificates shall be drawn up having regard to the official description of the occupation in question supplied by the Member State in which the beneficiary wishes to pursue such occupation, whether permanently or temporarily.       3. The host Member State shall grant authorisation to pursue the activity in question on application by the person concerned, provided that the activity certified conforms to the main features of the description of the activity communicated pursuant to paragraph 1 and provided that any other requirements laid down by the rules of that State are satisfied.          Article 6 1. Where, in a Member State, the taking up or pursuit of any activity referred to in Article 1 (2) is not subject to the possession of general, commercial or professional knowledge or ability, that State may, if serious difficulties result from the application of the Council Directive referred to in Article 1 (2), request from the Commission authorisation, for a limited  period and in respect of one or more specified activities, to require from nationals of other Member States who wish to pursue those activities in its territory proof that they possess the qualifications required for the pursuit of such activities in the country whence they come.  Use shall not be made of this power in respect of a person who comes from a country which does not make the taking up of the activity in question subject to proof of particular knowledge, or in respect of a person who has lived in the host country for at least five years.  2. On receipt of a request from the Member State concerned stating the reasons on which it is based, the Commission shall forthwith specify the conditions on which the authorisation provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article will be granted and lay down detailed rules concerning its implementation.  3. Where serious difficulties result from the application of the Council Directive referred to in Article 1 (2), the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg may be authorised by the Commission, for such period and subject to such conditions as the Commission shall determine, to suspend application of the provisions of Article 4 of this Directive in respect of one or more specified activities.   Article 7 The provisions of this Directive shall remain applicable until the entry into force of provisions relating to the co-ordination of national rules concerning the taking up and pursuit of the activities in question.   Article 8 Member States shall, within the time limit laid down in Article 9, designate the authorities and bodies competent to issue the above-mentioned certificates and shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof.   Article 9 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 10 This Directive is addressed to the Member States.     Done at Luxembourg, 15 October 1968.  For the Council  The President  G. SEDATI
