KAROLUS programme: exchange of national officials between administrations (amend. Dec. 92/481/EEC)

The Economic and Social Committee frequently saw that differences in interpretation and application of single market legislation created more problems for businesses than any other factor. The Committee therefore endorsed without reservation the Commission’s proposals to extend the Karolus programme for a two-year transitional period, to widen its application during that period to other specified states and to develop a modified programme with a wider scope, and with possible participation of the workers, to take the place of the existing programme at the end of the transitional period.
