COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1112/2005
of 24 June 2005
amending Regulation (EC) No 2062/94 establishing a European Agency for Safety and Health at Work
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted following consultation with the Advisory Committee for Safety and Health at Work,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Regulation (EC) No 2062/94 of 18 July 1994 establishing a European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (2) includes provisions concerning the aims, tasks and organisation of the Agency and in particular of its Administrative Board. Those provisions were amended following the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, when new members had to be added to the Administrative Board. |
(2) |
Health and safety at work, a key element in promoting quality in employment, represents one of the European Union's most important social policy areas. The Commission Communication on ‘Adapting to change in work and society: a new Community strategy on health and safety at work 2002 to 2006’ of 11 March 2002 highlights the important role to be played by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, hereinafter ‘the Agency’, in the promotion, awareness-raising and anticipation activities needed to achieve the objectives set out therein. |
(3) |
The Council Resolution of 3 June 2002 on a new Community strategy on health and safety at work (2002 to 2006) (3) requires the Agency to play a leading role in the collection and dissemination of information on good practice, awareness-raising and risk anticipation. The Council calls on the Commission to promote cooperation between the Member States and the social partners at European level through the Agency, with a view to future enlargement and welcomes the Commission's intention to submit a proposal for improving the Agency's operation and tasks in the light of the external evaluation report and the Advisory Committee's opinion on that report. |
(4) |
The European Parliament Resolution of 23 October 2002 on the Commission Communication: ‘Adapting to change in work and society: a new Community strategy on health and safety at work 2002 to 2006’ also supports the leading role given to the Agency as the key player in non-legislative health and safety activities at Community level and hopes that the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions and the Agency will continue to improve their cooperation in line with their respective roles in this policy area. |
(5) |
The European Economic and Social Committee Opinion of 17 June 2002 on the Communication from the Commission ‘Adapting to change in work and society: a new Community strategy on health and safety at work 2002 to 2006’ (4) highlights the role of the Agency in the evaluation of risks and the need for regular contacts between the Agency and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions to avoid duplication and to stimulate joint reflection. |
(6) |
The Commission Communication on the ‘Evaluation of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work’, prepared in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 2062/94 and based on an external evaluation carried out in 2001, as well as on the contributions of the Administrative Board and of the Commission Advisory Committee for Safety and Health at Work, underlines the need to amend Regulation (EC) No 2062/94 in order to maintain and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Agency and its management structures. |
