REGULATION (EEC) No 337/75 OF THE-COUNCIL of 10 February 1975 establishing a European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);

Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2);

Whereas on the basis of Article 128 of the Treaty, the Council, in its Decision of 2 April 1963 (3), laid down general principles for implementing a common vocational training policy;

Whereas under Article 118 of the Treaty the Commission has the task of promoting close cooperation between Member States in the social field, particularly in matters relating to basic and advanced vocational training;

Whereas the Council, in its resolution of 21 January 1974 (4) concerning a social action programme, made one of the objectives of that programme the implementation of a common vocational training policy with a view to attaining progressively the principal objectives thereof, especially approximation of training standards, in particular by setting up a European Vocational Training Centre ; whereas, furthermore, the Council decided that this objective should be given priority;

Whereas the implementation of a common vocational training policy gives rise to ever more complex problems, and whereas the solution of those problems requires a large degree of involvement on the part of those concerned, and more especially on the part of both sides of industry;

Whereas the setting up of a European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training - a body independent of the departments of the Commission, but which must cooperate with them to the full - is necessary for the effective implementation of that common policy, and whereas the Treaty has not provided the specific powers necessary for setting up such a centre;

Whereas the centre will be set up within the framework of the European Communities and will function in accordance with Community law ; whereas the conditions under which certain general provisions will apply should be defined,
