_________________ For further information call 02 285 62 19 / 02 285 81 11 PARTICIPANTS The Governments of the Member States and the European Commission were represented as follows:
CONSUMER AFFAIRS PREPARATION FOR THE EURO (FROM THE CONSUMER'S POINT OF VIEW) PUBLIC DEBATE The Council held an open debate televised for the benefit of the press and the public on the Member States' preparations for the introduction of the euro (from the consumer's point of view). At the close of the debate, the President made the following comments: the Member States must maintain a high degree of vigilance to ensure that the switch to the euro remains a neutral operation. A series of measures must be taken to ensure that prices are kept under control; the public must be provided with information spelling out the fact that prices are not influenced by the euro; it is not up to the Member States alone to provide information. Manufacturers and traders must also communicate the various measures which they are taking to maintain price levels in the switch to the single currency; some States stress the importance of the role of competition and the role of consumers themselves; the Member States must set a good example in the rounding off of prices resulting from the switch to the single currency; the situation regarding the adjustment of SMEs is progressing, but they must nevertheless remain a prime target for training and information campaigns; dual indication of prices has proved very useful and remains an important way of educating the consumer; the Member States are making numerous efforts to combat fraud; all the Member States are devoting great care and attention to ensuring the credibility of the euro and protection of consumers. DISTANCE MARKETING OF FINANCIAL SERVICES The Council reached political agreement, by a qualified majority, with the Luxembourg delegation voting against, on the common position with a view to the adoption of the Directive on distance marketing of financial services. Once the text has been finalised, the common position will be formally adopted and sent to the European Parliament for a second reading, in accordance with the codecision procedure provided for in the Treaty. The purpose of the common position is to supplement Framework Directive 97/7/EC of 20 May 1997 on the protection of consumers in respect of distance contracts. The aim is a high degree of harmonisation of national provisions and a very high level of consumer protection. The principal features are detailed prior information and a right of withdrawal for consumers. FOOD SUPPLEMENTS The Council reached political agreement by a qualified majority, with the Austrian, Danish and Greek delegations voting against and the Spanish delegation abstaining, on its common position with the view to the adoption of a Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on food supplements. Once the text has been finalised, the common position will be formally adopted and sent to the European Parliament for a second reading, in accordance with the codecision procedure provided for in the Treaty. An increasing number of products are marketed in the Community as being foods containing concentrated sources of nutrients and designed to supplement the intake of those nutrients from the normal diet in particular vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fibre and various plant and herbal extracts. Those products are regulated in Member States by differing national rules that may impede their free movement or create unequal conditions of competition, and thus have a direct impact on the functioning of the internal market. As a first stage, the Directive is to lay down specific rules for vitamins and minerals used as ingredients of food supplements. Food supplements containing vitamins or minerals as well as other ingredients should also be in conformity with the specific rules on vitamins and minerals laid down in the Directive. EUROPEAN CONTRACT LAW The Council took note of the Commission communication on European contract law. The communication, adopted by the Commission in July, launched a debate on potential problems within the internal market resulting from differences between national contract laws. Its aim is to gather information on the need for possible Community action. The communication presents four different possibilities for discussion: leave the solution of any identified problems to the market; identify the elements common to most rules of national contract law and turn them into guidelines useful for national legislators when drawing up legislative initiatives, national courts and arbitrators in their decisions and contracting parties in drafting their contracts; review and amend all existing Community legislation in this area to simplify and improve it; create a new Community legal instrument which could, for example, be an optional model chosen by the contracting parties or a safety net of fallback provisions, if the contracting parties have not agreed a solution to a possible problem in the contract. EUROPEAN FOOD AUTHORITY The Council noted the progress made on the proposal for a Regulation. It agreed to ask the Permanent Representatives Committee to make every effort, in the context of the European Parliament's second reading, to reconcile the points of view of the two institutions and thus facilitate adoption of the Regulation before the end of the year. GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD AND FEED The Council noted the Commission's presentation of its two proposals for Regulations, one concerning traceability and labelling of GMOs and products produced from GMOs and the other concerning genetically modified food and feed. The Council asked the appropriate bodies to press ahead with the proceedings. INTERNAL MARKET COMMUNITY PATENT Over lunch, the Council noted a progress report by the Presidency and held a wide-ranging exchange of views on the outstanding problems concerning the creation of a Community patent. Having noted the principal difficulties of the various delegations with the common approach which it was proposing, the Presidency said that it would do everything possible to draw up a compromise text that all delegations could accept, in order to reach agreement by the end of the year. The Permanent Representatives Committee was invited to press ahead with work on all aspects of the creation of the Community patent. The President of the Council pointed out that all delegations had insisted on the need for the Community patent to be credible. As regards developments to date, the Lisbon European Council's conclusions, subsequently confirmed by the Feira and Stockholm European Councils, requested that a Community patent including the utility model be available by the end of 2001 at the latest. The proposal for a Regulation aims at creating a single patent which will be valid throughout the territory of the European Union and proposes that it be issued by the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich, in accordance with the patentability requirements and procedures laid down in the European Patent Convention (EPC) and its Implementing Regulations. At its meeting on 30 and 31 May 2001, the Internal Market, Consumer Affairs and Tourism Council agreed to a common approach to guide the continued discussions. Since then, sustained discussions in the competent Council bodies have focused on the financial arrangements, the role of national offices, the language regime and further examination of the articles of the proposal for a Regulation. INSURANCE MEDIATION The Council noted a progress report by the Presidency and asked the Permanent Representatives Committee to continue its efforts to finish examining the proposal in time for the next Council meeting on 26 November 2001. The proposed Directive aims at establishing a legal framework for the professional activity of insurance intermediaries throughout the European Union. The Directive fits into the framework of the three life insurance Directives (79/267/EEC, 90/619/EEC and 92/96/EEC) and the three non-life insurance Directives (73/239/EEC, 88/357/EEC and 92/49/EEC) and takes account of the various legislative changes made since the adoption of Directive 77/92/EEC on insurance intermediaries. It establishes minimum requirements both for the professional competence of the intermediaries and for the information provided to consumers when preparing a contract. Under the Directive, registered intermediaries will have the opportunity to provide their services under clear legal rules in the Internal Market and thus contribute to an efficient functioning of insurance markets under stringent standards. STATUTE FOR A EUROPEAN COMPANY The Council examined the amendments suggested by the European Parliament, which had been reconsulted further to the position adopted by the Council in December 2000, but decided not to incorporate them. The Council confirmed its intention of formally adopting the Regulation, together with the Directive supplementing the Statute for a European Company with regard to the involvement of employees, at the meeting of the Employment and Social Policy Council on 8 October 2001. The agreement reached by the Nice European Council in December 2000 on the involvement of employees broke the deadlock on this issue after 30 years of negotiations. The Employment and Social Policy Council on 20 December 2000 was then able to establish a favourable position with a view to a political agreement, and decided to reconsult the European Parliament. SERVICES OF GENERAL INTEREST The Council took note of the Commission's intention of adopting a report on services of general interest in the near future, and of substantial contributions from several delegations on the subject which bore witness to the Member States' interest in the subject. The Council will debate the Commission report at its next meeting on 26 November, with a view to drafting a paper for the European Council in Laeken in December. The Presidency conclusions from the meeting of the European Council in Nice on 7, 8 and 9 December 2000 contain a section on services of general interest in which the European Council, having taken note of the Commission communication on services of general interest of 20 September 2000 and approved the declaration on services of general interest adopted by the Council on 30 November 2000, invited the Council and the Commission to continue their discussions in the framework of these guidelines and the provisions of Article 16 of the Treaty. The European Council noted the Commission's intention to consider, in close cooperation with the Member States, ways of ensuring greater predictability and increased legal certainty in the application of competition rules relating to services of general interest. The Council and the Commission will report on the implementation of these guidelines for the European Council in December 2001. PUBLIC CONTRACTS The Council noted a progress report from the Presidency on this priority issue and asked the Permanent Representatives Committee to press ahead with discussions. The new legislative package, i.e.: the proposal for a Directive on the coordination of procedures for the award of public supply contracts, public service contracts and public works contracts; and the proposal for a Directive coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy and transport sectors, presented by the Commission at the meeting of the Internal Market Council in May 2000, has two objectives: the first is to simplify and clarify the existing Community Directives, and the second is to adapt them to modern administrative needs in an economic environment that is changing as a result of factors such as liberalisation of telecommunications or the transition to the new economy. With the object of enhancing transparency in the award process and of combating corruption and organised crime, the legislative package also includes measures designed to make for greater clarity in the criteria determining the award of the contract and the selection of tenderers. Both proposals have the objectives of: the introduction of electronic purchasing mechanisms and the consequences of these in terms of reducing the length of an award procedure; clarification of provisions relating to technical specifications; this will encourage effective competition through the participation of the greatest possible number of tenderers and, in particular, innovative businesses; a strengthening of the provisions relating to award criteria; a simplification of thresholds, the number of which has been reduced; and the introduction of a common procurement vocabulary. COMMUNITY DESIGNS The Council noted the progress made regarding the final obstacle to adoption of the proposal for a Regulation on Community designs. It instructed the Permanent Representatives Committee to finalise the Regulation with a view to its adoption by the Council, without further discussion, at a forthcoming meeting. At its meeting on 30 November 2000 the Council reached political agreement on all aspects of the proposal for a Regulation except one. Contacts which have taken place in the meantime have produced significant progress towards resolving that final point. The proposal for a Regulation, which requires unanimity in the Council, provides for the creation of a design right which will be valid throughout the Community and will be registered at the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market in Alicante, the Office which has managed the Community trademark since 1996. FREE MOVEMENT OF GOODS CONCLUSIONS The Council noted the Commission's presentation of its report on the application of Regulation (EC) No 2679/98 on the free movement of goods, and adopted conclusions on the subject. The Commission report examines the results of implementing the Regulation since its entry into force. The purpose of the Regulation is to combat serious obstacles to the free movement of goods in the internal market. A Council Resolution was adopted at the same time as the Regulation to express the political commitment of the Council and the Member States to assisting the Commission in its efforts to strengthen free movement of goods. In adopting the following conclusions, the Council lent its support to a more dynamic approach to applying the Regulation, by means of the adoption of a vade-mecum and the creation of a website. "THE COUNCIL, REFERRING TO the terms of the Resolution of the Council and of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, of 7 December 1998 on the free movement of goods and to the commitments made therein, RECALLING that the free movement of goods is an essential foundation for the internal market, 1. TAKES NOTE of the Commission's report on the application of Regulation (EC) No 2679/98; 2. STRESSES the importance for operators, the Commission and the Member States of the rapid provision of as complete information as possible in the case of a barrier or risk of a barrier, particularly on the nature and location of any obstacles to freedom of movement and on alternative routes, and of regular exchanges on the application of the Regulation; 3. AGREES on the basis of the experience acquired during the limited period in which the Regulation has been applied that the Regulation should be applied even more dynamically by the Member States and the Commission in close cooperation, while as the above Resolution emphasised taking account of fundamental rights including the right or freedom to go on strike, as recognised by the Member States; 4. WELCOMES the Commission's proposals on: the adoption of a vade-mecum intended for the Member States and for operators; this document, which should be prepared by the Commission in close cooperation with the Member States and taking account of the wishes of economic operators, should specify the procedures to be followed if there is a risk of a barrier or if there is an actual barrier to freedom of movement: raising awareness in the media and amongst economic operators, in particular through the creation of a specific internet site; 5. WELCOMES with interest the Commission's presentation of a preliminary draft standard form intended to help Member States fulfil their obligations under Article 3(1) of the Regulation and INVITES the Commission to finalise this standard form in cooperation with the Member States; 6. RECALLS lastly that, in adopting the above Resolution, the Member States agreed "to ensure that rapid and effective review procedures are available for any person who has been harmed as a result of a breach of the Treaty caused by an obstacle within the meaning of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2679/98." CROSS-BORDER PAYMENTS IN EURO Commissioner BOLKESTEIN presented the Commission proposal, the purpose of which is to reduce bank charges for cross-border payments in euro to the level of national rates. The Council noted the proposal and the comments made by a number of delegations. FREE MOVEMENT OF PERSONS The Council noted the Commission's presentation of its proposal for a Directive on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. The Council agreed with the Commission on the importance of the proposal and asked the Permanent Representatives Committee to examine it as soon as possible. The proposal will be dealt with by the Internal Market Council, but since it covers a number of sectors, including the internal market, justice and home affairs and certain social aspects, the General Affairs Council and Coreper II will be kept informed of progress as the proposal makes its way through the various Council configurations. CONTROL OF THE ACQUISITION AND POSSESSION OF WEAPONS The Council noted the Commission's presentation of its report on the implementation of Directive 91/477/EEC on control of the acquisition and possession of weapons, the aim of which is to facilitate control of weapons in the internal market's area of free movement without frontiers. In its report, the Commission confirms that it intends, early in 2002, to submit legislative proposals taking account of the work done at the UN. RESTRICTIONS ON THE MARKETING AND USE OF CERTAIN DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES AND PREPARATIONS The Council reached unanimous political agreement on its common position on the proposal for a Directive amending Council Directive 76/769/EEC relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations, with specific reference to pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE) (24th amendment). Once the text has been finalised in the Community languages, the common position will be adopted and sent to the European Parliament for a second reading. Pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE) is a brominated flame retardant used almost exclusively in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foam for furniture and upholstery. The risks to the environment of pentaBDE have been assessed. The risk assessment identified a need to reduce the risks arising from production and use of such foam. On the basis of the assessment, the Commission proposed, on 15 January 2001, that the use and placing on the market of articles containing pentaBDE be prohibited. As regards the other brominated flame retardants used in applications other than polyurethane foam, i.e. decaBDE and octaBDE, it was suggested that no action be taken until the results of the ongoing risk assessment are available. PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION COMMITMENT BY THE EUROPEAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY The Council noted the Commission communication on pedestrian protection and awaits with interest the report which the Commission is to submit in December on further developments. The Commission issued a communication on pedestrian protection and the commitment by the European automobile industry in which it describes the results of the Commission's approach. In December 2000 the Commission discussed the possibility of using an industry self-commitment to increase the protection of pedestrians and other road users from injury. It entered into discussions with the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) and parallel negotiations with the Japanese and Korean Manufacturers' Associations. In February 2001 a public hearing was held to enable all interested parties to express their views. The first phase of negotiations with the European industry was completed in July 2001. The industry undertook to adopt some passive safety measures and other active protection measures (including, for example, electronic sensors). In the light of experience and of the opinions of the other European bodies, the Commission will decide whether legislation is nevertheless necessary. In Japan and the Republic of Korea, the industry has indicated that it will make a similar commitment by the end of the year. The Commission's decision on whether to continue accepting the voluntary commitment in future or to propose either a framework directive or a directive based on the traditional approach will be deferred until December 2001 at the latest. REVIEW OF PHARMACEUTICALS LEGISLATION The Council noted the Commission's presentation of its proposals for the review of pharmaceuticals legislation, as follows: amendment of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products amendment of the Directive on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use, and amendment of the Directive on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products. (Neither of these Directives has actually been adopted, but the Commission has already announced its intention of amending them.) The aims of the review of European pharmaceuticals legislation are to: ensure a high level of protection of the health of European citizens (make available innovative, safe products to patients as rapidly as possible), step up market surveillance (greater pharmacovigilance), improve the level of animal health (increase the number of veterinary medicines), complete the internal market in pharmaceutical products, bearing in mind the challenges of globalisation, establish a legal framework which will promote the competitiveness of the European industry, rationalise and simplify the system and the procedures, and make them more transparent. In addition, the area of competence of the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA/London) would be extended. There are also plans to reform the decentralised procedure (which applies, for example, to generic medicines) and the arbitration procedure. STRATEGY FOR A FUTURE CHEMICALS POLICY The Council noted the progress report by the Commission on the strategy for a future chemicals policy. In February 2001 the Commission launched its White Paper on the strategy. The White Paper will be followed by legislative initiatives on the part of the Commission. In particular, there are plans for a single coherent system for all chemical substances (REACH model, registration, evaluation and authorisation/rapid restriction of chemicals). The system will be managed by the Member States and by the European Chemicals Bureau (ECB). Collaboration with the industry is vital (e.g. for providing the authorities with information and for risk assessment). The new approach will mean amending or consolidating the following legal instruments: Council Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances, as amended; Council Directive 88/379/EEC on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations, recently replaced by 1999/45/EC; Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances; Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations. THE ROLE OF STANDARDISATION IN EUROPE The Council noted the Commission's presentation of its report on the implementation of the Council Resolution on the role of standardisation in Europe. The Council adopted this Resolution in October 1999, with a request to the Commission to report back to it by 30 June 2001 on the follow-up action it had taken. TOWARDS A STRATEGY FOR LIFE SCIENCES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY The Council noted the Commission's intentions regarding preparation of a strategy for biotechnology in Europe. In September the Commission launched a public consultation on life sciences and biotechnology by publishing a consultation document entitled "Towards a strategic vision of life sciences and biotechnology" covering a wide range of biotechnology issues. That document sets out the Commission's current thinking and raises a number of specific questions on which it would particularly like to gather reactions. The topics addressed include the technological possibilities available and their safety in use; the research to be supported, the ethical implications and the implications for society of the research and the technological applications; the need for information and public participation; questions concerning regulation of GMOs in the short and long terms; the various approaches at international level and in the various international organisations; and the specific needs of the developing countries. OTHER BUSINESS
ITEMS APPROVED WITHOUT DEBATE (Decisions for which statements for the Council minutes have been made available to the public are indicated by asterisks; the statements in question may be obtained from the Press Office.) INTERNAL MARKET The Information Society The Council adopted a Decision authorising the Commission to negotiate on behalf of the European Community, within the competent bodies of the Council of Europe, a draft Convention on information and legal cooperation on information society services. The Commission will conduct the negotiations in consultation with the special committee appointed by the Council. The objective of the negotiations is to ensure that the Council of Europe's Convention on information and legal cooperation on information society services makes it possible to set up, in the field concerned, a mandatory system of prior regulatory information (without a standstill period) and a mechanism for regular administrative cooperation with third countries. Medicinal products for human use The Council adopted a Directive on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use. Since the Community legislation in this area has been amended substantially on several occasions, it is sensible to bring together a number of Directives in a single consolidated text for the sake of clarity. CONSUMER AFFAIRS General product safety Further to the agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council in the Conciliation Committee on 25 June 2001, the Council formally adopted the Directive on general product safety. Subject to approval of the joint text by the Parliament, the Directive will be finally adopted. The Directive, which amends Directive 92/59/CEE adopted in June 1992 introduces clearer and more efficient rules to ensure that only safe products are put on the market. The overall aim is to harmonise the measures of the Member States aimed at imposing a general obligation to market only safe products, to ensure both a consistent and high level of protection of consumer health and safety throughout the EC and the proper functioning of the internal market. (For more information on the content of the Directive, see press release 10236/01 Presse 258.) LAND TRANSPORT Drivers' working time - opening of the conciliation procedure As the Council was unable to approve all the second-reading amendments passed by the European Parliament on the common position with a view to the adoption of the Directive concerning the organisation of working time for mobile workers performing road transport activities and for self-employed drivers, the opening of a conciliation procedure should be requested. Directive on the maximum length of buses The Council adopted by a qualified majority, with the Danish delegation voting against, its common position on amendment of Directive 96/53/EC laying down for certain road vehicles circulating within the Community the maximum authorised dimensions in national and international traffic and the maximum authorised weights in international traffic. The draft Directive seeks to harmonise the maximum authorised length of buses and to amend the manoeuvrability criteria applicable to them, notably with a view to enabling the free circulation in practice of buses on Community territory and eliminating distortions of competition on the cabotage market in the passenger transport sector. It provides for a maximum authorised length of 12 m for buses with two axles, 15 m for buses with more than two axles , and 18,75 m for buses with trailers. ENVIRONMENT Sixth Environment Action Programme Following the political agreement reached at the Environment Council meeting on 7 June 2001, the Council formally adopted its common position on the Decision laying down the Sixth Community Environment Action Programme. The common position will now be sent to the European Parliament for a second reading in accordance with the codecision procedure. The proposal establishes a programme for Community action on the environment for the next ten years. It focuses in particular on climate change, nature and biodiversity, environment and health as well as quality of life, and natural resources and wastes. For each of these areas, the Programme indicates key environmental objectives and certain targets, and identifies a number of actions to achieve them. Seven thematic strategies are to be developed by the Commission in order to establish further quantifiable and time-bound objectives. These strategies will cover air quality, the marine environment, resource use, pesticides, waste recycling, soil protection issues and the urban environment. They should be ready for implementation at the latest five years after the adoption of the Programme. The initiatives to be taken to meet the objectives of the Programme will consist of a range of measures, including legislation, voluntary agreements and improved information and involvement of consumers, enterprises and public bodies. These initiatives will be presented progressively and at the latest four years after the adoption of the Programme. National emission ceilings and large combustion plants * Following the agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council in the Conciliation Committee in June, the Council formally adopted two Directives marking an important step in the Community strategy against atmospheric pollution. These are: the amendment of Directive 88/609/EEC on the limitation of emissions of certain acidifying pollutants into the air from large combustion plants (sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, dust); the Directive fixing national emission ceilings for four atmospheric pollutants (sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and ammonia). The European Parliament approved the texts in plenary on 20 September 2001. The Directives are therefore finally adopted. (For more information on the content of the two Directives, see press release 10244/01 Presse 266.) ESPOO Convention The Council adopted a Decision authorising the Commission to negotiate, on behalf of the European Community, a Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment which will be annexed to the 1991 ESPOO Convention on environmental impact assessment in a transboundary context, concluded under the auspices of the UN Economic Commission for Europe. RESEARCH Cooperation agreements between Euratom and Russia in the nuclear sector The Council adopted a Decision authorising the Commission to conclude two cooperation agreements between the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) and the Russian Federation in the fields of nuclear safety and controlled nuclear fusion. The Agreement on Partnership and Cooperation between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Russian Federation, of the other part, which entered into force on 1 December 1997, stipulates that the parties will cooperate in the nuclear sector. Under the nuclear safety agreement, cooperation covers the following fields in particular: (a) Reactor safety research (b) Radiation protection (c) Nuclear waste management (d) Decommissioning, decontamination and dismantling of nuclear installations (e) Research and development on accountancy and control of nuclear material. Cooperation is implemented in particular through: exchange of technical information by means of reports, visits, seminars, technical meetings, etc., exchange of personnel between laboratories and/or bodies, including for training purposes, exchange of samples, materials, instruments and apparatus for experimental purposes, participation in joint studies and activities. Cooperation Agreement between Euratom and Kazakhstan in the nuclear sector The Council adopted a Decision authorising the Commission to conclude a cooperation agreement on thermonuclear fusion between the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) and the Republic of Kazakhstan. The objective of the Agreement is to maintain and intensify cooperation between the Parties in the areas covered by their respective fusion programmes in order to develop the scientific understanding and technological capability underlying a fusion power system. Cooperation may relate in particular to studies, fusion technology, applied plasma physics and programme policies and plans. It may, inter alia, take the form of exchange and provision of information, exchange and provision of personnel, meetings, exchange and provision of samples, instruments and apparatus for experimental and evaluation purposes and participation in joint studies and activities. Financial aid for technical coal research projects The Council adopted an assent pursuant to Article 55 of the ECSC Treaty on the granting of financial aid for technical coal research projects. FISHERIES Control measures applicable to highly migratory fish The Council adopted a Regulation laying down control measures applicable to fishing for certain stocks of highly migratory fish. The Community has since November 1997 been a Contracting Party to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). That Convention provides a framework for regional cooperation on the conservation and management of resources of tuna and tuna-like fish in the Atlantic ocean and adjacent seas through an International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas and the adoption of recommendations on conservation and management in the Convention area that become obligatory for Contracting Parties. ICCAT has adopted a number of recommendations creating control and surveillance obligations, notably on the establishment and transmissions of statistics, inspection in port, vessel surveillance by satellite, vessel observations and transhipments, and checks on non-Contracting Parties' and on stateless vessels. The Regulation adopted implements these recommendations. AGRICULTURE Veterinary medicinal products The Council adopted a Directive on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products. Since the Community legislation in this area has been amended substantially on several occasions, it is sensible to bring together a number of Directives in a single consolidated text for the sake of clarity. APPOINTMENTS Economic and Social Committee The Council adopted Decisions appointing two members of the Economic and Social Committee: Mr Jean-Marc BILQUEZ was appointed a member of the Economic and Social Committee in place of Mr Jean-Claude QUENTIN, for the remainder of the latter's term of office, which runs until 20 September 2002; Mr Eric SENECHAL was appointed a member of the Economic and Social Committee in place of Mr Lucien REBUFFEL, for the remainder of the latter's term of office, which runs until 20 September 2002. |

Read the manuals, or a good book on Unix and the manual pages (type man man). There is a lot of GNU Info documentation, which is often more useful as a tutorial. Run Emacs and type F1-i, or type info info if you don't have or don't like Emacs. Note that the Emacs libc node may not exactly describe the latest Linux libc, or GNU glibc2. But the GNU project and LDP are always looking for volunteers to upgrade their library documentation.
Anyway, between the existing Texinfo documentation, and the manual pages in sections 2 and 3, should provide enough information to get started.
As with all free software, the best tutorial is the source code itself.

Summer Slushie
I found a great recipe over at
Ramblings of a Crazy Woman
for making
homemade slushies
. You can use pretty much any kind of juice or Kool-aid. You don't need an ice cream maker, just a couple of baggies and some rock salt.
I used my very favorite juice --
pineapple, orange, banana!
Go check out the recipe
This was so simple to make and so refreshing -- perfect for hot summer days!

Chalkboard Bucket
Here's a gift idea that would be super cute to make for a teacher. I found these cute little metal buckets in the dollar spot at Target.
They are the perfect size to use as a gift "bucket" instead of a basket. And they can be spray painted any color and decorated to fit the occasion. I like to add a ribbon and I have also added vinyl letters to personalize a gift.
For this bucket, I taped off the rim and the handle and turned it upside down to prime and paint. I used about two coats of primer and one coat of chalkboard spray paint.
Decorate and fill the bucket and you have a super cute personalized gift!

Homemade Refried Beans
There is no comparison between homemade refried beans and the
kind in a can
. You can take
this pinto bean recipe
and make into tasty refried beans. Simply cook the beans until soft and mash until smooth. They can easily be frozen and thawed as needed. I love to use them as a side for tacos or as a layer on taco dip.

Pinto Beans
Since moving to the south six years ago, I have had the fabulous privilege of eating pinto beans cooked up in a
big 'ole pot
(the only way to make them in the south) on numerous occasions.
For the most part, this has been a wonderful experience. Some people just have a knack for tasting and seasoning the beans as they cook.
I have found that if pinto beans are
seasoned well, they can turn out very
. Unfortunately, I have tasted a few big 'ole pots like that before too.
The key to taking a plain bag of dried beans to a fabulous meal (in my humble opinion) is the
Minced, chopped, fresh or refrigerated -- it doesn't matter, but please, please add some garlic to your beans! It makes such a difference!
Well after tweaking a few different recipes, I came up with my own variation. Hope you enjoy!
Perfect Pinto Beans
1 lb. dry pinto beans
4 cups water
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
1/4 finely chopped onion
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2-3 dashes hot sauce
Rinse pinto beans and place in large pot. Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 2-3 hours until soft, adding water as needed -- approximately 2 1/2 - 3 more cups. Enjoy!
Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top and corn bread on the side.

Ceramic Tile Pendant
Here's a fun craft idea from
The DIY Dish
! This is a simple and very inexpensive project that would be a fun summer project to make with a group of family or friends.
Take This...
and This...
add some scrapbook paper, acrylic sealer and a glue-on bail to make this fun pendant...
It's pretty much the same technique used to make
these tile coaster
Here are a few tips for making these pendants...
1. Use heavier card stock scrapbook paper to avoid bubbles when Mod Podging
2. Avoid buying tiles with sharp, unfinished edges
3. Use a glossy sealer to give the pendant a nice shine
4. Mod Podge paper to the back of each tile to cover the rough surface and avoid snags on your clothing
5. Add rub-ons or stickers to personalize your pendant
You can sand the edges to a vintage look...
Or leave them squared...

Jewelry Pedestal
One last Dollar Store craft...
{at least for this week}
I made this jewelry pedestal exactly the same way I made my mail pedestal
. Instead of using a plate, I found a shallow bowl that was on clearance for $.25. I painted the bottom of the bowl and the candle stick a glossy red. I painted the inside of the bowl a flat white and then used a satin sealer to protect it from chipping. I cut the vinyl on my Cricut.
I love to make things that are not only pretty, but also serve a useful purpose. This pedestal can be used in the bedroom, bathroom or kitchen to store and protect jewelry. For me, this works great on my kitchen counter! When I am at home, I usually do not wear my wedding ring or any bracelets. I am always cooking, cleaning, doing laundry or changing diapers and do not want chemicals or other yucky things to land on my jewelry.
I put my ring on when I am headed out the door, but as soon as I come home I take it off and wash my hands at the kitchen sink. My ring usually gets set on the counter next to the sink and stays there until I leave the house again. It's obviously not the safest place to keep it considering it could fall into the sink and be sucked up by the food disposer! So know my little pedestal sits on the kitchen counter and safely stores my wedding ring and other jewelry!

Opinions, Context & Ideas from the TPM Editors TPM Editor's Blog
Is "Great Ground Game" the New Unskewed Polling?
Let me cut to the chase. No, it's not. It's definitely not. As I mentioned late last year, 'ground game' - organizational structure on the ground in a certain area to turn out voters on election day - is very important. But it's only important in terms of relatively small margins. Maybe you're polling at 40% and your amazing ground game got you to 43%. Maybe Trump is at 35% and Cruz is at 29% and Cruz's amazing ground operation gets it to a tie. Caucuses are sort of an exception. Since it involves going and sitting around in a school gymnasium or similar place for several hours one night. But, if you're getting killed in the polls, your ground game is definitely not going to help you in a primary.
But when I heard that the poster boy for the "great ground game" was Chris Christie, I started to realize that maybe this is the "unskewed polls" of the 2016 cycle, only this time it's not to sustain the fantasy that Romney is definitely absolutely going to win. It's an intra-Republican mode of denial to make you believe that Donald Trump is not only not winning the primary race as of now but dominating the race like no non-incumbent has in modern history.

A helicopter carrying 14 people including eight South Koreans and citizens from the Czech Republic, Sweden and the Netherlands has gone missing in the mountains of southern Peru, officials said on Thursday.
The chopper left the city of Mazuco in the southeastern region of Madre de Dios late on Wednesday and set off across the Andes for the tourist hub of Cusco, but never showed up at its destination.
Officials voiced hope that it had made an emergency landing in the remote Hualla Hualla region, which is at an altitude of 4,725m, about 140km from Cusco.
Yashinga Tuez, a spokeswoman for the HeliCusco company that operated the flight, said there were 14 people aboard, two of whom were Peruvian crew members.
"There are eight South Koreans, a Czech citizen, a Swede, a Dutch citizen and a Peruvian," Tuez said. Earlier, Cusco police chief General Hector Dulanto said 11 South Koreans, two Austrians and a Peruvian national were on the aircraft, but Tuez confirmed there were no Austrian nationals aboard.
The interior ministry meanwhile denied reports the passengers were confirmed dead.
"No national police official has provided such information, as the search and rescue teams have not yet reached the area where the helicopter is believed to be located," it said in a statement.
A storm had initially hampered the search effort, but a helicopter carrying a national police mountain patrol was later able to conduct an overflight of the area where the chopper might have gone down.
However, amid poor weather conditions, the patrol did not see any sign of the helicopter and was forced to head back to Cusco, a police spokesman said. The search and rescue operation was eventually suspended for the night.
At the same time, two more police teams left by road for Ocongate and Marcapata, close to where the helicopter is believed to have disappeared.
A South Korean foreign ministry statement said the South Koreans were engineers and officials from four South Korean companies. They were flying toward Cusco after aerial surveillance of a possible site for a hydroelectric project near Puno in southern Peru.
"Attempts were made to reach them by mobile phones, but calls were not answered. There were no automatic distress signals either, which should come from the helicopter if it crashes," the ministry statement said.
Local media said the passengers were tourists likely headed for Machu Picchu, the fabled 15th-century Inca city perched on a mountain high above the town of Aguas Caliente in the Cusco region.
Hundreds of thousands of foreigners descend on the Cusco region every year to visit Machu Picchu.
A small plane crashed in February 2010 during an aerial tour of the famed Nazca Lines archeological site in southern Peru, killing the Peruvian pilot and all six tourists on board.
Five French tourists were killed in April 2008 when their plane crashed near the Nazca Lines, prompting the French government to warn visitors against flying in the country — a recommendation criticized at the time by Lima.

Your title "DOG" popped up on my blog and I nearly broke a key getting here. I've got it bad. But I ADORE them, all of them. Mine doesn't dance, but he calls all the shots and I find myself obeying HIM, but I get no treats.
I'm a dog lover myself, I try to make sure the ones I've rescued are well taken care of. They both had bad lives, came from bad places, and now I want them to enjoy their lives. So I will spoil them, lol
Some of my favorite "people" are dogs.
My husband always says, "Dogs are better than most people". I agree!
Hilarious! And such a happy guy!
The little dog does seem to be happy and enjoying himself :-)

text: Bottles, Pacifiers, and Batteries Are All Out to Destroy Your BabyCassie Murdoch5/14/12 11:10amFiled to: ParentingChildrenKidsFaceMouthTeethBottlePacifierSippyCupButtonBatteryERHospitalInjurydoctorSarah a. keimshutterstock87EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkGiven how many times your average toddler falls down during the day, pretty much any object poses some threat to them, but two new studies published in Pediatrics have found that there are a few culprits around the house that are responsible for a huge number of injuries: bottles, pacifiers, and sippy cups posed the most danger to cute baby faces, while those little button batteries regularly wreak havoc on children's insides.AdvertisementThe first study found that between 1991 and 2010, bottles, pacifiers, and sippy cups were responsible for more than 45,000 kids under three being treated in the emergency room. That breaks down to about 2,270 children a year, or one kid every four hours. Also, that number is probably artificially low, according to Sarah. A. Keim, one of the study's authors. She said that many kids with injuries were probably either treated at home or at their pediatrician's office, so they wouldn't have shown up in the study. The most common injuries from bottles, pacifiers, and sippy cups tend to be to the teeth and mouth. Bottles were the worst, causing 66 percent of the damage. Pacifiers caused 20 percent, and sippy cups were implicated in 14 percent of the cases. The problems usually seem to arise when the kids are walking with the object in or near their mouth. So, should you wish to safeguard your child's precious face, you'd be advised to teach them to drink from a lidless cup by the time they're on the move.But once they do start to move, you'll have to start watching that they don't swallow one of those damned button batteries that are used in so many electronic devices these days. Apparently in the two decade period, roughly 66,000 children and teenagers were treated in the emergency rooms for "battery-related injuries." That is a lot of batteries. Fortunately, no one was killed, but they can set off a chemical reaction inside you that results in "severe tissue damage," a frighteningly vague term, in only two hours. So, you'd be wise to try your very best to keep any batteries in your house out of the reach of young children.AdvertisementOf course, while a little vigilance is useful, it's probably not necessary to become a human-scanning machine, ever on the lookout for button batteries and pernicious pacifiers. If trouble wants to find your child, it will. All you can hope for is that the resulting injury is treatable with a home first aid kit because you probably have a better chance of making it out of a blackhole in a timely manner than you do making it out of an ER.Sippy Cups and Other Little-Known Childhood Hazards [New York Times]Image via Elena Schweitzer/Shutterstock.Reply87 repliesLeave a reply

We landed in St Thomas to catch the ferry the next morning to the BVI. This was right across the street and about a block down from the ferry. Can't get closer to this. Stayed both on our way to BVI and our way back. Had breakfast the first time, small portion and not anything to rave about. Had dinner the way home and it was very nice - good pasta dish. Upon arrival - late afternoon after 4 pm - we were told that our room wasn't available. We waited a few minutes with a few others in the same situation. Then we asked again and another lady found a different room that was available. Not sure why they made us wait, and would have continued to make us wait.
Location near the ferry dock and seaplane base. Water front room exceptionally noisy. Saturday booze barge party passed the hotel a 100' off the sea wall until midnight with blaring music that seemed to rattle the Windows. Also the light show all night on the facade of the building made me feel like I was in Vegas. Do not spend the extra $ for water front.
We were using this hotel as a one night stay before we cought our plane next day. It's OK just to stay in for one night I just wish I had tile floors I'm not a big fan of carpets and the beds were not super luxurious a average hotel for a great price. And absolutely within walking distance of shopping.
Is a beutifull hotel with view to the bay also has a perfect location for lunch and dinner is nearby for shopping so you can walk to all town tourist places. I will stay for the futher when I have to go there. short of space for parking and the housekeeping personnel does not clean well the room.
Bugs!!!!! Many bugs drive me crazy, and the front dest told me the manager will contact me very soon, I'm still waiting for that!!!!!
Dirty cockroach infected and lousy air conditioning. 200 dollars for this? Only positive across from ferry dock.
Proximity Restaurant space was not nice, food was not great, coffee was week and over priced
We paid over $700 for 3 nights. That is definitely not value for your money. And we did not eat or drink anything there because it was so costly.
great location, pool and bar were nice bathrooms could've been cleaner and we experienced a leak in our ceiling and had to be moved to another room...
If you're coming or going to the BVI, hotel is across the street from the ferry terminal making it perfect for crash and dash. Nothing spectacular about the hotel. Clean, quiet, what more do you want? Walking distance to Frenchtown where there are several bars and restaurants.
The staff is so friendly, there is a restaurant/bar on the premises, and it is easy to get around. Walking is easy and near to other fine dining, and there are taxis available. The shuttle to the beach is great. No room service. If that had happened, I could have given a higher rating.
The location is convenient The wait to check in was ridiculously long. Even though it was 5.00, way past check in time, a lot of people were being told to wait as the rooms weren't ready. Our keys didn't work, or so we thought - turned out the door was so warped we had to literally put our shoulders into it to open the door. The room was very worn generally. Lukewarm water in the shower at best. About an hour after we arrived, the door to the room flew open - another group had been assigned our room and given keys to it. The pool was dirty with black mold and used band aids floating around. The staff were nice enough, but they are battling against impossible odds here. This place probably needs knocking down and rebuilding from the ground up.
Great Location, staff and breakfast! Look oudated, the bed needs replacement and the shower was terrible...
What did your like? The staff was very nice and eager to please. Stair are very common at hotels on St. Thomas. This is the first place I stayed where they took up my luggage. They breakfast was good and serviced by a friendly staff. I liked that it was a family run hotel owned by locals. It is closed to all the shopping in the old downtown district which is a lot of fun. What didn't I like? I would not recommend families with small children to stay there. All the stairs would be dangerous for them. They are doing some additions which are not safe for children. If you can not walk stairs this is not for you.
The staff were absolutely fabulous! This is a smaller family run hotel, that could use a little updating [nothing major] that you could care less about because the staff is just that great. They are very accomodating [held our bags for us after we checked out for a few hours]. The only draw back for some travelers might be that there are a lot of stairs, which was not a problem for us and our two younger children. We would definitely stay there again!! nothing
This hotel is very basic and is OK for an overnight stay. It is clean and the room had TV, air conditioning, a small fridge and en suite bathroom and shower. I would stay here again if it was only for a quick overnight. It is value for money. The staff were phenomenal. I arrived at 11:00 PM as did other travelers. The hotel clerk came outside to the taxi to greet us and carry luggage inside. He also carried luggage to the room......the people were very friendly and helpful making for a pleasant experience. Breakfast to order, although limited, was very good and is included in the room cost.......:) Several floors with only steps - can be a challenge if you have heavy luggage and no one to help......
It Was A Very Nice Hotel..I Would Recommend It To Anybody The Location Is Horibble
Bunker Hill is located in the town near shopping and restaurants and is good value for the money. It is not a luxury or beach front hotel, but is conveniently located in the town. The rooms are adequate, wifi is available, the staff are friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. It is very acceptable as an 1 or 2 day stay in the town. Rooms were a bit outdated and there are no elevators to the top floors.
So we got an e-mail a week in advance of staying here that the King bed Harbor View suite that we paid for for our dream trip was not going to be available because there were guests failing to vacate for the next week because of travel flight cancelations. You stated you would be giving us a standard room with a full size bed and a small food comp. at your reataurant for the inconvenience. Classy!! You didn't offer any other way to resolve this, as in maybe telling the guests in the King Harbor View Suite that unfortunately you have that Suite sold for the weekend and they would be more than welcome to stay in your standard room with a full size bed if they wanted to extend their vacation.......
Great location, extremely helpful and friendly staff. Just around the corner from all the shops and boutiques on Main street. Lots of stairs. Not a problem for us, but if you have any physical disabilities this is probably not the best choice.
Ran out of water while taking showers multiple times
Nice rooms friendly service. Great Beach!
Perfect location, beautiful beach front, close to the airport (you could literally walk there from the hotel) staff was friendly. Food and drink were definitely over priced but that's to be expected I guess because everything there has to be imported... Love this place and would definitely go back! The pillows and bedding weren't very comfortable, U fortunately we didn't get a restful good night sleep any night we were there, but everything else was great!!
I liked that the hotel was close to the airport and had everything. It's close to downtown and shopping as well The hotel restaurant and bar are a bit over priced and mostly American food. I was also checked into a room that was already occupied but it was quickly resolved.
Beach location, facilities, beachfront rooms, proximity to airport Cleanliness of bathroom, tired looking rooms in dire need of light and airy updates
Loved the beach location and closeness to airport - we walked. Loved the cool tropical gardens and plushness of surroundings despite a drought. Loved the refreshing pool after being on the beach with the waterfall. Setting of restaurant is beautiful. Rooms and beds extremely comfortable and views are spectacular. Staff was very friendly and informative. The shower ran out of water while I was in it. The quality of the food was okay but overpriced. Wine was way out of line expense wise.
I enjoyed the overall experience at the Emerald Beach resort but the rooms and the property as a whole needs to be updated. It was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful and I especially enjoyed the quality inn location of the beach. It's proximity to the airport was a little disappointing but not overbearing. I would definitely stay there again but they had to straighten out the bill for me because the price did not match what I booked on kayak The locals on Saint Thomas that inhabit the island are not very friendly in general. I really think they do not like tourists or Caucasian people at all And there were many lovely experiences I had with people there but you know who the locals are and you can tell that they really have a resentment. But as for the staff at the Emerald Beach they were lovely
The location is not very safe! As I was sitting on my 1st floor balcony a man came up to me after dark wanting me to let him use my cell phone. He had to be told numerous times NO!! He waited on my husband to go in the room before he came over and ask me!! It was very scarybecause it was very dark and not lit well at all! Then when I was checking out that morning the forensic police officers were there to investigate a burglary they had the night of our stay! If you are considering staying at this property I would definitely reconsider! As it did not seem safe at all! It was not.a safe area. The cost to stay at this property is s RIP off!
Paul welcomed me every morning for breakfast at the restaurant. Smiles all around. Big sand beach that even had a place for a novice snorkelers to see exotic fish without being terrified. Crystal clear water. John set me up with trips and cabs. Even made sure I didn't get taken advantage of. I forgot and left my safe open, with money and potent pain meds, they cleaned my room and to my surprise nothing was stolen. Florentina was the cleaner and I was left feeling secure and safe in my room. I can't say enough about the staff. I really felt at home. Beautiful beaches, sunsets, beach bar parties. Will definitely go back again. I'm not kidding I'm telling everyone I know. Spirit airlines
It was a nice hotel. The staff was great! Needs a little updating in the rooms, but they were very clean. The food was also delicious. I would stay there again.
the location is great if you like the beach. And the food is good.
Great staff. Grear location. Great beach. The Hotel is a little bit outdated and needs renovations.
The beachfront location was outstanding. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was fairly Spartan. The bed was uncomfortable. The water from all the taps was brown with rust. The air conditioning unit worked, but it sounded like a turbo prop was touching down in our room.
Great staff. Great beach. Good food and drinks. The rooms were nice and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would return again.
Location, just a half mile from the airport. The ocean view from the villas was amazing. There was a convenient on-site, open-air restaurant. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The villas are a bit run down and are in need of an overhaul. The breakfast buffet is really not very good and way overpriced. But the drinks at the restaurant were great! If stay there again.
An easy walk to the airport Resturant was closed for remodeling
The proximity to the airport was great you could walk to your hotel room; however it was somewhat secluded from local amenities such as shop, night life and dinning. But a five min cab ride inexpensive. Better plumping, all water had to be shut down for temporary servicing but was back up with then an hour. Overall I would stay here again if I visit St. Thomas. Great hospitality amongst the staff and employees.
Convenient to airport, nice view from patio on second floor, clean bathroom Water leaked on me in the night from a crack in the ceiling, AC never cooled room down, shower was either ice cold or hot - difficulty in getting regular temp, terrible pillows, staff never answered phone
Located close to airport. Lovely dockside restaurant and swim area. Large balcony off of the room with beautiful view of the bay. Rooms are small.
Lunch is only available at sister hotel
The cottage room was nice and clean, no issues The restaurant had very poor service. I was so upset because I never got my food and the rest of my group had finished I left without eating dinner and could not sleep all night.
The staff was very helpful; we arrived early and couldn't check in yet but wanted to go into town and they allowed us to keep our bag there in a locked room until we could check in. We returned a little before the check-in time which was 4 p.m. and they allowed us to check in early which was nice. The pool is fine for what we needed and although the hotel was on the side of a hill, they did set up a little beach area. If you want to go to a real sandy beach, which we did, they have a shuttle that goes to the Best Western Plus across the bay and they had a great beach and slightly better pool. The ocean side bistro was awesome! We did not expect to get great food there but were tired and didn't want to go back into town but it exceeded our expectations. Get the Jerk Chicken Sandwich! Another huge plus is the front desk gave us a voucher for a free rum punch at the bar and since there were two of us actually gave us two without us having to ask. If you don't plan on being in your room much on your vacation or just need somewhere to stay overnight while waiting on a flight or cruise to leave, I would highly recommend this place. And the other reviews weren't kidding about the five minute walk to the airport! It's a hill that you have to trek up but really not bad to avoid paying for a cab. The "beach" area is really just some sand in a concrete enclosure thing with some chairs. Might be okay if you don't actually want to get in the water but we did. The bathroom had some mixed signals, it had a nice updated walk in shower (the hot water knob was messed up on ours so we thought we didn't have hot water at first but got it working) but an outdated pedestal sink. I like to have a countertop to set my things on in the bathroom so this was not a plus to me. At breakfast the wait staff seemed bothered that we were there (we were the only ones in the restaurant and granted it was 20 minutes before they closed but I only wanted yogurt!) and the food was pretty overpriced, but I think that's pretty consistent with the Virgin islands as a whole.
Hotel was excellent!!! Booked this through here which directed me to Priceline who held my $$ on a "credit hold" & I had to pay at hotel again upon check out. Guess Priceline has been doing this. I have since paid twice for this hotel and still waiting on Priceline to settle this. BTW the price with Priceline was much higher than what I paid directly on hotel lobby. SMH Shame on you Priceline.
The hotel ia conveniently located. Considering how close it was to the airport there was no loud noise or difficulty sleeping. Rooms are clean but housekeeping only came once during a three day stay. Staff are ok. Ringing the front desk was useless most times aa no one answered. I've stayed several times at bluebeards castle for 30 more so this was on the expensive side for the value. In all, if i was in a bind like this time id return but not before looking for some where nicer first.
The location has a restaurant/bar on site... it had food and alcohol. Man made beach (no actual swimming access at this location). AC worked well. Stayed in a 'cabin', had my own porch with two chairs. Right next to airport, planes very loud. Wifi was lackluster in broadcast capabilities (here for work, needed wifi). Coffee maker in room didn't work. Paint was peeling on one of the walls, probably from constant humidity. TV was fairly beat up, looked like someone used bleach to clean the screen at some point. The room was OK, but just OK.
It was clean and the air conditioning worked. Walk to downtown Charlotte Almalie. It was very old, outdated and need renovations. The neighborhood was kind of edgy.
Great location, room was clean Stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs. Lugging a heavy suitcase up to the top level left me breathless and sweaty. Im strong and healthy and still found it a challenge.
The location was great. Easy access to shopping district. Staff was nice and helpful. The towels weren't so clean but good thing I brought my own. Didn't like that the hotel was open on the middle so when it rain the steps and everything got wet which could be dangerous if you're leaving your room. No elevators.
The location and price can't be beat Well...the bed was a full size and very uncomfortable. When you moved around or got up of the bed you could hear the springs go 'sproing'! We kept looking to see if they popped out! The bathroom was miniscule...no shampoo, no washclothes or hand towel
front desk lady was nice. The courtyard smelled like cat urine, there were no phones in room to call taxi, there were holes in walls between rooms, gaps around air conditioning, ran out of small amount of toilet paper that was in bathroom and no one available to get more from, etc
location was ok but neighborhood a bit sketchy. staff was super friendly. took me to airport. super nice people. no problems with that. well....sheets were dirty (hair), shower didnt really work and drain clogged. just sort of dirty. look, i didnt want to spend much cause it was a layover for me. i took the money that i would have spent at an upgrade place and spent it on beer and food down at Pi Hole!
Friendly staff Hard to find the first time. (Easy after that - North at the footbridge over Veteran's Highway; immediate right; then a left up the hill at "Quantum Sails" sign)

I have been posting some of my paintings on this blog but wonder if those who check in here to see stitching and other crafts might not be interested in paintings and those wanting to view my paintings may not want to go through the fiber and other pieces I create. I have decided to try separating the two and begin a new blog devoted to my watercolor paintings and other fine art. I hope you will visit and if interested follow along. The address for the blog is http://conniereybergfineart.blogspot.com/. Also please feel free to share my new blog. It is in its early stages so I will be doing some tweeking as time permits. I also have a page on Facebook where I am posting my artwork. If you are a Facebook subscriber you can find it at https://www.facebook.com/conniereybergfineart/.
Hope everyone's new year is off to a healthy and happy start!

Wenasaga Sunrise Watercolor Painting and New FB Page
I have been neglecting my blog again! I have been emerging myself in painting and a bit of crochet lately. I have just opened a page on Facebook where I will share my art. If any of you are interested you can find me at Connie R Eyberg Fine Art.
This is my most recent painting. It is called "Wenasaga Sunrise". I have been doing a lot of experimenting with various sky effects and light. I really enjoyed creating this painting.
I have also been working on a crocheted infinity scarf. The crochet part is completed. I now have to block it and then add beads. When I figure out how I am going to block it, adding beads will be easy. I am open for suggestions on how to block an infinity scarf with lots of picots! Can you just use some sort of fabric stiffener or spray starch and iron it?
