Aid to shipbuilding (amend. Direct. 90/684/EEC)

President von Wogau pointed out that if the urgency had been accepted, it was essential that Parliament should hold an in-depth debate on the question of the OECD Agreement on aid to shipbuilding. The proposal for a directive seeks to extend the system of aid to shipbuilding until 31 December 1995, the date when the OECD Agreement was due to enter into force. While the rapporteur, Mrs Garcia Arias, stated that she had no difficulty in accepting the Commission's proposal, she was of the opinion that the system should be extended until the Agreement came into force, given that it was not absolutely certain that this would take place on the set date. The amendment presented by Mrs Garcia Arias was unanimously adopted. �
