      In the Council Directives for the negotiation of a Commercial Cooperation
Agreement ( CCA ) between the Community and Bangladesh (l ), the Commission
was requested to explore the terms on which the Community could obtain an
undertaking from Bangladesh with regard to non-discriminatory access to
its natural resources .
      A series of preliminary meetings have'feen held "between representatives
of the Commission and representatives of Bangladesh to shed light on the
approach of both sides to this problem .
      The Government of Bangladesh is not willing to enter into a general
commitment which would give the Community non-discriminatory access to all
its natural resources .      II would however , readily condiser co-operation
within specified sectors on tertis that would give the Community access to
the natural resources related to such sectors , provided that this offer would .
lead to investments by Community enterprises which , in turn , would contri -.
bute significantly to the economic development of their counctry . Further , .
Bangladesh is       prepared to guarantee such investments .
                           for
      The natural forum defining in the long terra specific areas for the
type of co-operation envisaged is obvious ^ the Joint Commission to be set
up under the Agreement' .
      The present legislation of Bangladesh guarantees foreign investors
against nationalisation for a period of ten years after the date of
acquisition of an interest in a particular venture .       The Bangladesh repre
sentatives indicated , however , that their Government are prepared to
increase the guarantees in favour of investors who would engage in projects
which had been selected after consultation within the framework of the CCA .
( l ) Doc . S/ IO21 /75 ( COMER 196 ) of 30 September 1974 and Corr. 1 of 8 October
 ---pagebreak---        Bangladesh ranks to-day as one of the poorest among the developing
Countries .   Yet , even though prospecting has "been so far on a limited scale ,
it is known that the country possesses certain potential resources which
could contribute significantly to its development and , concurrently, supply
overseas partners with needed requirements .     In particular , it was reported ( l )
in 1973 that Bangladesh disposes , in the Bay of Bengal , of .deposits of
natural, gas of a unique degree of purity and in quantities estimated at some
8-9 trillion cubic feet .    There are also indications of oil reserves .
   '  It is the opinion of the Commission that the terms on which Bangladesh
is prepared to offer aocess to its natural resources could be of advantage
for the trading interests of the Community and , simultaneously , could fawur
a novel form of co-operation which would bring genuine social and economic
progress to a non-associated developing country .
       For the Commission to engage in negotiation on these lines , however ,
would seem to call for a modification on the negotiation directives to .
include Gommunity access on a non-reciprocal basis to the natural resources
of Bangladesh in specified ' sectors , on the understanding that the Community
will promote investments in these sectors by Community enterprises and that
Bangladesh will offer satisfactory guarantees for such investments .
       To this end , the Commission recommends that the Council modify in the
manner suggested its negotiation directives in the matter of access to
natural resources and , to that effect , adopt the "Recommendation for a
Decision (EEC ) of the Council " appended herewith . .

Recommendation for a Council Decision On the European Capital of Culture event for the year 2007  /* SEC/2004/0521 final */

Recommendation for a COUNCIL DECISION On the European Capital of Culture event for the year 2007(presented by the Commission)EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUMDecision no 1419/1999/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 25 May 1999 establishing a Community action for the European Capital of Culture event for the years 2005 to 2019 [1], lays down the procedure of designation of the European Capital of Cultural from 2005 and onwards.[1]  OJ L 166 of 1.7.1999, p. 1, hereafter "the decision".According to Article 2 of the decision, one city of a Member State is designated as European Capital of Culture, in turn, according to the chronological order set out in Annex I to the decision.The nomination or nominations are notified to the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the Committee of the Regions by the Member State concerned no later than four years before the event in question is due to begin.The Commission, each year, forms a selection panel which issues a report on the nomination or nominations judged against the objectives and characteristics of this action. The selection panel is composed of leading independent figures who are experts on the cultural sector. The selection panel submits its report to the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council.The European Parliament may forward an opinion to the Commission on the nomination(s) no later than 3 months after receipt of the report. For 2007, the European Parliament has explicitly stated that it does not intend to forward an opinion [2].[2]  See « Report on the Proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Decision 1419/1999/EC », Rapporteur Michel Rocard, PE 334.052, Explanatory Memorandum, page 10.The Council, acting on a recommendation from the Commission drawn up in the light of the selection panel's report, officially designates the city in question as a European Capital of Culture for the year for which it has been nominated.Moreover, according to Article 4, "European non member states countries may participate in this action. Any such country may nominate one city as a European Capital of Culture and should notify its nomination to the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the Committee of the Regions"In accordance with article 2 and Annex I, Luxembourg notified, before the end of 2002, the nomination of the city of Luxembourg (in partnership with the "Grande Région").The selection panel for 2007 met for a first time on the 14th May 2003 in Brussels, to debate on the proposal made by Luxembourg.At this stage, the panel could not approve the candidacy as it stood, because the bid lacked in detail on all levels. The panel delivered some advice to complete the proposal in accordance with criteria laid down in article 3 and annex II of the Decision. It had decided to meet again once a modified proposal achieved.Concurrently, in accordance with Article 4, Romania notified the nomination of Sibiu.The selection panel met on 5th April 2004 to examine both nominations. This examination included hearings of representatives from Luxemburg and Sibiu. The panel submitted its report to the Commission on the 14th of April 2004; on the request of the panel, the Commission forwarded it to the other Institutions [3].[3]  It should be noted that Article 4 of the Decision does not require European third countries applications to be examined by the panel. The Commission considers this, however, to be good practice.On the basis of an overall evaluation, the Panel agreed unanimously to recommend to the Institutions of the European Union that Luxemburg host the European Capital of Culture in 2007, in accordance with article 2 of the Decision.Concerning the proposal submitted by Sibiu, the Panel highlighted a lot of problems and aspects to be improved in accordance with the criteria laid down in the Decision in its report: structures to be developed, strategy of communication and marketing to be implemented, cooperation to be strengthen at European level, budget to be confirmed.Nevertheless, and taking note that Luxembourg strongly mentioned that it is ready to assist Sibiu/Hermannstadt in the further development of the programme, the panel agreed that the proposal from Sibiu/ Hermannstadt merits support and, consequently, recommend to support Sibiu/ Hermannstadt as a European Capital of Culture in 2007, provided that considerable improvement are achieved by 2005.In order to be sure that improvements will be achieved, the selection panel mentioned in its report that it offers follow-up support to the representatives from Sibiu/ Hermannstadt. They would like to offer them the opportunity to meet with them again in February next year to offer advice and see how things are progressing.In conclusion, the Commission, in accordance with Article 2, paragraph 3 of Decision 1419/1999/EC submits to the Council the appended recommendation for the official designation of Luxembourg as European Capital of Culture 2007. The Commission also submits, in accordance with Article 4 of the same Decision, that Sibiu be designated as a European Capital of Culture in 2007. It nevertheless notes the jury's position that considerable improvements to Sibiu's programme are needed by 2005 and expects that the organisers take up the jury's offer of a follow-up meeting in 2005.Recommendation for a COUNCIL DECISION On the European Capital of Culture event for the year 2007THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to decision no 1419/1999/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 25 May 1999 establishing a Community action for the European Capital of Culture event for the years 2005 to 2019 [4], and in particular its articles 2.3 and 4,[4]  OJ L 166 of 1.7.1999, p. 1.Having regard to the Selection Panel report of April 2004 submitted to the Commission, the European Parliament, the Council in accordance with Article 2 paragraph 2 of Decision 1419/1999/EC,Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission of the ----------------- 2004,HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:Article 1Luxembourg is designated as "European Capital of Culture 2007" in accordance with Article 2 paragraph 1 of Decision 1419/1999/EC.Article 2Sibiu is designated as a "European Capital of Culture 2007" in accordance with Article 4 Decision 1419/1999/EC.Article 3Both cities designated shall take the necessary measures in order to ensure the effective implementation of Articles 1 and 5 of Decision 1419/1999/EC.Done at Brussels,For the CouncilThe President

     to purchase and import - at guaranteed prices - cane sugar which the exporting
     countries concerned cannot commercially market in the Community at prices - *
     equivalent to or in excess of the guaranteed prices . The Protocol and the
     Agreement also require that the guaranteed prices shall tie negotiated annually .
2 . The current guaranteed prices apply until 30 June 1981 . The attached recommendation
     for a Council Decision accordingly seeks authority for the Commission to negotiate ,
     on behalf of the Community, the guaranteed prices to be applied in the 1981 / 82
     delivery period which begins on 1 July 1981 .

        (a ) it was agreed that although retroactivity was not provided for in respect
             of the 1V80 / 81 prices this did not prejudice the position of the ACP States
             and India in relation to any future negotiation in accordance with Article 4 <
             of the above-mentioned Protocol and Agreement ;
        (b) The ACP States and India explained that ocean freight charges had risen by
                                                          \
             almost 60 X since " last year , thus constituting an important factor, and
             requested that the Community should give, serious consideration to the
             possibility of alleviating the effect of these charges . The Community, while
             reiterating that Article 5 ( 4 ) of the Protocol and the Agreement set the
           * guaranteed price at the cif stage, recognized the concern of the supplying
             States at the increasing levels of freight rates and undertook the consider
             the requests of the ACP States and India . Subsequently the ACP States
             furnished a note on the subject which was circulated to the Council
