Firstly, the Commission notes that, like maritime transport, cable-laying activities require qualified seafarers, with similar qualifications as those working onboard traditional maritime transport vessels.

Five: we must not confine these technologies to primary, secondary and tertiary and traditional forms of education; we must also consider adults, lifelong learning and all the people outside the formal education cycle and process, as well as taking account of the huge role of these technologies in combating unemployment.

Here we should not only be helping businesses with a traditional structure, but also public-private partnerships and cooperatives which are increasingly contributing, among other things, to improving stability and creating jobs.

b. Tape-laying or tow-placement machines of which the motions for positioning and laying tape, tows or sheets are coordinated and programmed in two or more axes, specially designed for the manufacture of "composite" airframe or 'missile' structures;

(62) For instance, in British Interactive Broadcasting/Open, the Commission noted that for the provision of basic voice services to consumers, the relevant infrastructure market included not only the traditional copper network of BT but also the cable networks of the cable operators, which were capable of providing basic telephony services, and possibly wireless fixed networks, Case IV/36.359, (OJ L 312, 6.12.1999, paragraphs 33-38).

Annex II A.With the wire ropes tensioned, the wedging beam shall be placed firmly behind the rear wheels and then fixed to the ground.1.2.3.If the tractor is of the articulated type, the point of articulation shall in addition be supported by a wooden block at least 100 mm square and firmly lashed to the ground.1.2.4.The pendulum block shall be pulled back so that the height of its centre of gravity above that at the point of impact is given by one of the following two formulae, to be chosen according to the reference mass of the tractors subjected to the tests:H = 25 + 0,07 mt for tractors with a reference mass of less than 2 000 kilograms,H = 125 + 0,02 mt for tractors with a reference mass of more than 2 000 kilograms.The pendulum block ...[+++]must then be released so as to strike the protection structure.1.3.Impact from the side1.3.1.The tractor shall be so placed in relation to the pendulum block that the block will strike the protection structure when the impact face of the weight and the supporting chains or wire ropes are vertical unless, during deflection, the protection structure at the point of contact forms an angle to the vertical.
