4.7. The zeroising mechanisms for the price indicator and for the volume indicator must be so designed that the operation of the mechanism on either of the two indicators automatically returns the other indicator to zero. 4.8.1. The computed price of a quantity equal to the maximum permissible error on the minimum delivery marked on the dial of the indicating mechanism must be not less than one-fifth of the value of the scale interval, but not less than the price corresponding to an interval of two millimetres on the scale of the first element on the price indicator, where the movement of this element is continuous.

On 1 May 1993 Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Portugal (where devaluations occurred) were the five lowest-priced markets in the Community, with Germany and France being the highest, though it is not possible to distinguish between the purely mechanical effects of the devaluations on the prices in ecus and the consequences of manufacturers' commercial policies; - Analysing the results by market segment, those showing the least price disparities (i.e. less than 20%) are the following: Segment A (mini cars) in 92% of cases, Segment C (medium cars) and Segment F (luxury cars) in 89% of cases.

- 2 - Remarkable developments during the past years have included: - the economic recovery of the European iron and steel industry, which had shed 41% of its personnel during the 1980s; - the large-scale replacement throughout the economy of traditional machinery by computer-aided and computer-integrated equipment, which has caused a boom for the European mechanical engineering sector; - the decline of energy consumption in EC industry by 10 % since 1973, while at the same time energy consumption in transport increased by 72%; - the increasing German share in the turnover of the 100 largest EC companies (from 22% in 1983 to 30% in 198 ...[+++]9).
