(b)criteria for the identification and reversal of significant and sustained upward trends and for the definition of starting points for trend reversals.

3. Member States shall define the starting point for trend reversal as a percentage of the level of the groundwater quality standards set out in Annex I and of the threshold values established pursuant to Article 3, on the basis of the identified trend and the environmental risk associated therewith, in accordance with Part B, point 1 of Annex IV.

With regard to groundwater protection measures, it will be the Member States' responsibility to choose their priorities and projects’ as a new Recital; introduction of a new review clause requiring the Commission to review Annexes I and II of the Directive in 2013 and every six years thereafter and, if appropriate, to come forward with legislative proposals under the codecision procedure to amend the Annexes; adaptation of comitology arrangements so that the list of pollutants and their indicators for which Member States have to consider establishing threshold values can now be removed only by codecision; deletion of a comment in the table in Annex I (‘Groundwater Quality Standards’) stating - in relation to the setting of 50 mg/l as the ...[+++] quality standard for the pollutant ‘Nitrates’ - that for activities falling within the scope of the Nitrates Directive (Directive 91/676/EEC), programmes and measures required in relation to this value of 50 mg/l will be in accordance with the Nitrates Directive; insertion of a new sentence making it clear that the starting point for trend reversal measures may be set higher than 75% - but only if the rate of increase and the reversibility of the trend are such that the starting point would still enable such measures to prevent most cost-effectively, or at least mitigate as far as possible, any environmentally significant detrimental changes in groundwater quality (already in common position text) and if such a starting point would not lead to any delay in achieving the deadline for the environmental objectives (new provision introduced as part of the conciliation); introduction of a new phrase at the end of point 1, subparagraph 2 of Annex IV, Part B (‘Starting Points for Trend Reversals’) to emphasise the importance of adhering to the Groundwater Directive’s environmental objectives for water protection as follows: “For activities falling within the scope of Directive 91/676/EEC, the starting point for implementing measures t ...

recalls the EU’s strategic goals established in Lisbon and its aim of becoming a highly eco-efficient economy that respects the carrying capacity of the environment; regrets that some negative trends in the environment, especially in areas such as climate change, energy, transport and biodiversity, have not been reversed and invites the Commission to evaluate the consequences of failing to reverse these trends; recognises the need to give renewed momentum to the integration of environmental concerns into sectoral policies; emphasises the role of environmental technologies in achieving the goals set under the Lisbon Strategy whilst encouraging measures to improve investment in this a ...[+++]rea; calls upon the Commission to finalise, by the end of 2004, its review of the EU’s Sustainable Development Strategy; welcomes efforts made to ensure sustainable mobility and to enhance transport safety whilst noting with concern, however, that there are no signs of a significant decoupling of the environmental impacts of transport growth and GDP growth; encourages further limitation of motor pollutant emissions; underlines the Community’s engagement to respect and implement its international commitments on sustainable development at global level and, in particular, measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions; emphasises the economic and environmental benefits to be derived from greater energy efficiency; calls for strengthened action to preserve biological diversity.

Perspectives for Future Assistance Although it is not possible, at this stage, to define with precision the orientations and allocations pertaining to the total of assistance likely to be available to the Baltic Sea Region for the period 1995-99, this future assistance can be tentatively characterised as follows: . the total assistance is not likely to smaller than it was in the period 1990-94 and shows a tendency to grow both in absolute amounts and scope; . the volume of technical assistance (including sector aid for economic refor ...[+++]m) is likely to be reduced in favour of both loan- and grant-based investment (including export credits, private investment support and sector aid for public investment in infrastructure); . in addition to public investment in the infrastructure sectors, investment resources are likely to be increasingly dedicated to economic investment for private sector development including: SME development, agricultural restructuring (including the agro-processing industry and fisheries) and regional development; and . in as far as assistance from the EU and the Member States (the latter on a bi-lateral basis) is concerned the share of technical assistance specifically dedicated to the support of the process of European Integration (implementation of the Free Trade and Europe Agreements, adoption of the internal market acquis, and the related pre-accession activities) is expected to grow substantially vis-à-vis other forms of technical assistance.

Furthermore, the Code sets out the criteria to be applied when the Commission scrutinises proposals to award aid for investments by enterprises falling within the scope of the Code; among other matters, it specifies that there should be a significant reduction in the production capacity of a prospective recipient of investment aid, and that companies should finance from internal resources any investments in expanding or maintaining capacity that they consider necessary to adapt their production to market trends and technological developments. Since 3. 1.1994, by virtue of the Agreement establishing the European Economic Area, the Code a ...[+++]pplies also to all such proposals by the Governments of the countries party to the Agreement to award aid to synthetic fibres producers.
