The Contracting Parties shall assist each other, in the areas within their competence, in the manner and under the conditions laid down in this Protocol, in ensuring that the customs legislation is correctly applied, in particular by the prevention, detection and investigation of operations in breach of that legislation. 2. Assistance in customs matters, as provided for in this Protocol, shall apply to any administrative authority of the Contracting Parties which is competent for the application of this Protocol. It shall not prejudice the provisions governing mutual assistance in criminal matters. Nor shall it cover information obtained under powers exercised at the request of the judicial authorities, except where the said authorities agree that it should. Article 3 Assistance on request 1. At the request of the applicant authority, the requested authority shall furnish it with all relevant information which may enable it to ensure correct compliance with customs legislation, including information regarding operations noted or planned which are, or might be, in breach of such legislation. 2. At the request of the applicant authority, the requested authority shall inform it whether goods exported from the territory of one of the Contracting Parties have been properly imported into the territory of the other Party, specifying, where appropriate, the customs procedure applied to the goods. 3. At the request of the applicant authority, the requested authority shall, within the framework of its laws, take the necessary steps to ensure surveillance of: (a) natural or legal persons with regard to whom there are reasonable grounds for believing that they are, or have been, in breach of customs legislation; (b) places where goods are stored in a way that gives reasonable grounds for suspecting that they are intended to supply operations in breach of customs legislation; (c) movements of goods notified as possibly giving rise to breaches of customs legislation; (d) means of transport for which there are reasonable grounds for believing that they have been, are or may be, used in operations in breach of customs legislation. Article 4 Spontaneous assistance The Contracting Parties shall provide each other, at their own initiative and in accordance with their laws, rules and other legal instruments, with assistance if they consider that to be necessary for the correct application of customs legislation, particularly when they obtain information pertaining to: — operations which are, or appear to them to be, in breach of such legislation and which may be of interest to the other Contracting Party, — new means or methods employed in carrying out such operations, — goods known to be subject to breaches of customs legislation, — natural or legal persons with regard to whom there are reasonable grounds for believing that they are, or have been, in breach of customs legislation, — means of transport for which there are reasonable grounds for believing that they have been, are or may be, used in operations in breach of customs legislation.

In such a case, Article 6 (3) shall apply to the request for delivery or notification. Article 6 Form and substance of requests for assistance 1. Requests pursuant to this Protocol shall be made in writing. They shall be accompanied by the documents deemed necessary to enable the request to be complied with. When required because of the urgency of the situation, oral requests may be accepted, but must be confirmed in writing immediately. 2. Requests pursuant to paragraph 1 shall include the following information: (a) the applicant authority making the request; (b) the measure requested; (c) the object of, and reason for, the request; (d) the laws, rules and other legal elements involved; (e) details which are as accurate and comprehensive as possible on the natural or legal persons who are the target of the investigations; (f) a summary of the relevant facts and enquiries already carried out, except in cases provided for in Article 5. 3. Requests shall be submitted in an official language of the requested authority or in a language acceptable to that authority. 4. If a request does not meet the formal requirements, its correction or supplementation may be requested; precautionary measures may, however, be ordered. Article 7 Execution of requests 1. In order to comply with a request for assistance, the requested authority shall proceed, within the limits of its competence and available resources, as though it were acting on its own account or at the request of other authorities of that same Contracting Party, by supplying information already possessed, by carrying out appropriate enquiries or by arranging for them to be carried out. This provision shall also apply to the administrative department to which the request has been addressed by the requested authority when the latter cannot act on its own. 2. Requests for assistance shall be executed in accordance with the laws, rules and other legal instruments of the requested Contracting Party. 3. Duly authorized officials of a Contracting Party may, with the agreement of the other Contracting Party involved and subject to the conditions laid down by the latter, obtain from the offices of the requested authority or other authority for which the requested authority is responsible, information relating to operations which are, or may be, in breach of customs legislation which the applicant authority needs, in the context of an enquiry, for the purposes of this Protocol. 4. Officials of a Contracting Party may, with the agreement of the other Contracting Party involved and subject to the conditions laid down by the latter, be present at enquiries carried out in the latter's territory.

The documents provided for in paragraph 1 may be replaced by computerized information produced in any form for the same purpose. Article 9 Exceptions to the obligation to provide assistance 1. The Contracting Parties may refuse to give assistance as provided for in this Protocol, where to do so would: (a) be likely to prejudice the sovereignty of the Swiss Confederation or that of a Member State of the Community which has been asked to provide assistance pursuant to this Protocol; or (b) be likely to prejudice public policy, their security or other essential interests, in particular in the cases referred to within the meaning of Article 10 (2); or (c) involve tax or currency regulations other than customs legislation; or (d) involve the violation of an industrial, commercial or professional secret. 2. Where the applicant authority requests assistance which it would itself be unable to provide if so asked, it shall draw attention to that fact in its request. It shall then be for the requested authority to decide how to respond to such a request. 3. If assistance is refused, the decision and the reasons therefor must be notified to the application authority without delay. Article 10 Confidentiality 1. Any information communicated in whatsoever form pursuant to this Protocol shall be of a confidential or restricted nature, depending on the rules applicable in each of the Contracting Parties. It shall be covered by the obligation of official secrecy and shall enjoy the protection extended to similar information under the relevant laws applicable in the territory of the Contracting Party which received it and the corresponding provisions applying to the Community institutions. 2. Personal data, namely all information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, may be exchanged only where the receiving Contracting Party undertakes to protect such data in at least an equivalent way to the one applicable to that particular case in the supplying Contracting Party.

The Contracting Parties may, in their records of evidence, reports and testimonies and in proceedings and charges brought before the courts, use as evidence information obtained and documents consulted in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol. Article 12 Experts and witnesses An official of a requested authority may be authorized to appear, within the limitations of the authorization granted, as an expert or witness in judicial or administrative proceedings regarding the matters covered by this Protocol in the jurisdiction of the other Contracting Party, and produce such objects, documents or authenticated copies thereof, as may be needed for the proceedings. The request for an appearance must indicate specifically on what matters and by virtue of what title or qualification the official will be questioned. Article 13 Assistance expenses The Contracting Parties shall waive all claims on each other for the reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this Protocol, except, as appropriate, for expenses to experts and witnesses and to interpreteurs and translators who are not public service employees. Article 14 Application 1. The application of this Protocol shall be entrusted to the customs authorities of the Swiss Confederation on the one hand and the competent services of the Commission of the European Communities and, where appropriate, the customs authorities of the Member States of the European Community on the other. They shall decide on all practical measures and arrangements necessary for its application, taking into consideration the rules in force in the field of data protection. 2. The Contracting Parties shall consult each other and keep each other informed of the detailed rules of implementation which are adopted in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol.

text: 10. 2. 98 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen C 45/131 (98/C 45/168) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1965/97 van Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) aan de Commissie (9 juni 1997) Betreft: Turkse (cid:132)tolvrije zones(cid:148) en actie van de Commissie Aangezien het antwoord op mijn vraag H-0317/97 (1) tijdens het vragenuur mij niet volledig bevredigde, wil ik met iets meer aandrang nog eens de kwestie van de (cid:132)tolvrije zones(cid:148) in Turkije aan de orde stellen. In het antwoord wordt gesteld dat (cid:132)vertegenwoordigers van de Commissie en van de lidstaten bezoeken aan diverse (cid:132)tolvrije zones(cid:148) hebben gebracht(cid:148), en dat (cid:132)de toestand bevredigend wordt geacht(cid:148). Kan de Commissie meedelen welke (cid:132)tolvrije zones(cid:148) precies werden gecontroleerd, en tevens of zij nieuwe, onverwachte controles in deze zones overweegt via de Coo¤rdinatie-eenheid voor fraudepreventie (UCLAF) aangezien het hier gaat om een zeer ernstige kwestie die een inbreuk betekent op de Turkse verplichtingen in het kader van de douane-unie en die illegale uitvoer van textielproducten uit derde landen naar de EU als (cid:132)afkomstig uit Turkije(cid:148) inhoudt? (1) Handelingen van het Europees Parlement (mei 1997). Antwoord van de heer Van den Broek namens de Commissie (8 juli 1997) Het geachte Parlementslid wordt verzocht het antwoord te raadplegen dat de Commissie heeft gegeven op zijn mondelinge vraag H-317/97 tijdens het vragenuur van de meizitting 1997 van het Parlement, waarin de Commissie meedeelde dat een communautaire missie in oktober 1996 een bezoek aan Turkije had gebracht om zich ervan te vergewissen of de Turkse vrije zones functioneerden in overeenstemming met de verplichtingen van Turkije in het kader van de douane-unie. Bij die gelegenheid hebben de betrokken vertegenwoordigers van de Commissie de vrije zones van Istanboel en Mersin bezochten daarbij geen enkele inbreuk op de regels van de douane-unie vastgesteld. Aangezien het hier om een monitoringmissie ging, was de eenheid die verantwoordelijk is voor de coo¤rdinatie van de fraudepreventie er niet bij betrokken. Bovendien hebben de Turkse autoriteiten de missie verzekerd dat zij ge(cid:14)¤nformeerd wensten te worden over ieder fraudegeval dat eventueel door de Gemeenschap zou worden ontdekt. De Commissie behoudt zich het recht voor dergelijke gevallen bij Turkije aan te kaarten, in geval haar deugdelijk gemotiveerde klachten ter ore zouden komen. De Commissie is met name bereid alle concrete feiten in verband met fraude die haar ter kennis zouden worden gebracht, te onderzoeken. In ieder geval hebben de Gemeenschap en Turkije in het kader van de aanbevelingen van het Associatiecomite· Gemeenschap-Turkije van 24 april 1997 besloten deze zaak voortdurend in de gaten te houden om te voorkomen dat de regels van de douane-unie worden ontdoken. (98/C 45/169) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1971/97 van Roberta Angelilli (NI) aan de Commissie (9 juni 1997) Betreft: Aanleg te Rome van de metrolijn (cid:146)C(cid:146) en de sneltram (cid:146)Casalletto/Largo Argentina(cid:146) Mevrouw Bjerregaard heeft op schriftelijke vraag E-1273/97 (1) namens de Commissie geantwoord dat beide kwesties die in deze vraag aan de orde komen, te weten de aanleg te Rome van de metrolijn (cid:146)C(cid:146) en de sneltram (cid:146)Casalletto/Largo Argentina(cid:146), vallen onder bijlage II van richtlijn 85/337/EEG (2) betreffende de milieu- effectbeoordeling van bepaalde openbare en particuliere projecten. Aangezien in Italie¤ deze richtlijn nog niet is omgezet, heeft de Commissie in beide gevallen contact opgenomen met de Italiaanse autoriteiten. Kan de Commissie toelichten tot welke Italiaanse autoriteiten zij zich heeft gewend en wat zij met hen heeft besproken? Kan de Commissie mededelen wat de gesprekken hebben opgeleverd? Welke maatregelen denkt de Commissie te treffen ingeval de gemeente Rome richtlijn 85/337/EEG ook in de toekomst niet naleeft en doorgaat met de aanleg van de voornoemde projecten?

V bodě 2 písm. e) se vkládá nový text, který zní: s ohledem na Smlouvu o založení Evropského společenství, a zejména na článek 43 této smlouvy, s ohledem na návrh Komise (1), s ohledem na stanovisko Evropského parlamentu (2), vzhledem k tomu, že nařízení (ES) č. 3069/95 (3) definovalo pra- vidla týkající přidělování pozorovatelů a jejich povinností a závazky velitelů rybářských plavidel Společenství, která provo- zují nebo hodlají provozovat rybolovné činnosti v oblasti upra- vené přepisy Organizace pro rybolov v severozápadním Atlantiku (NAFO); vzhledem k tomu, že komise pro rybolov NAFO přijala 13. září 1996 doporučení o změně pozorovacího programu; vzhledem k tomu, že podle článku XI úmluvy NAFO se toto doporučení stane od 13. listopadu 1996 pro Společenství závazné; vzhledem k tomu, že by proto mělo být nařízení (ES) č. 3069/95 změněno, aby velitele rybářských plavidel Společenství a pozoro- vatele jmenované do uvedeného programu zavazovalo k použí- vání tohoto doporučení; PŘIJALA TOTO NAŘÍZENÍ: Článek 1 Příloha I nařízení (ES) č. 3069/95 se mění takto: „pozorovatelé budou zejména shromažďovat údaje o výmětu a podměrečných rybách uchovávaných na palubě, přičemž použijí, pokud to okolnosti umožní, následující postup odběru vzorků: i) při každém vytažení sítě se zaznamenají odhady celko- vého odlovu jednotlivých druhů, vyjádřené v hmotnosti, a odhady výmětu jednotlivých druhů, vyjádřené v hmot- nosti; ii) z každého desátého vytažení sítě se odeberou podrobné vzorky jednotlivých druhů, čímž se kromě hmotnosti měřeného vzorku zjistí také přesná množství, která tvoří část úlovku, jež má být vyložena, a část úlovku, kterou tvoří výmět; iii) kdykoliv se místo rybolovu změní o více než 5 námořních mil, postup popsaný v bodech i) a ii) se zopakuje. “ 2. Poslední věta bodě 3 odst. i) se nahrazuje tímto: „Velitel plavidla musí pozorovateli umožnit přístup k dokla- dům plavidla (k lodnímu deníku, přehledu o kapacitě, lodnímu deníku produkce nebo plánu nákladního prostoru) a do růz- ných částí plavidla a, je-li to požadováno, přístup k uchová- vanému úlovku a k úlovku, který má být vyhozen do moře, aby mu usnadnil výkon povinností. “ Článek 2 Toto nařízení vstupuje v platnost sedmým dnem po vyhlášení v Úředním věstníku Evropských společenství.

text: 22. 1. 98 DA De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende C 21/127 (98/C 21/242) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL P-1961/97 af Karin Riis-Jłrgensen (ELDR) til Kommissionen (29. maj 1997) Om: Kommissionens pres p(cid:229) den polske regering for at f(cid:229) den til at oph(cid:230)ve miljłbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger Jeg skal herved henlede opm(cid:230)rksomheden p(cid:229) de polske nationale bestemmelser om forbud af import af biler uden katalysator og et generelt forbud mod indfłrsel af biler, som er mere end ti (cid:229)r gamle. Form(cid:229)let er at reducere den forłgede forurening, der skyldes det store antal brugte biler fra de vesteurop(cid:230)iske lande. Jeg vil gerne vide, hvad Kommissionen har foretaget i denne sag, og om det er rigtigt, at Kommissionen har lagt pres p(cid:229) den polske regering for at f(cid:229) den til at oph(cid:230)ve disse bestemmelser? Har jeg ret i, at Kommissionen i denne sag kun har v(cid:230)ret interesseret i gennemtvinge en (cid:229)bning af det polske marked for vestlige produkter uanset kvalitet? Burde man ikke i stedet have stłttet den polske regering af hensyn til sundheden og miljłet? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Hans Van den Broek (3. juli 1997) Kommissionen er klar over, at indfłrsel af for(cid:230)ldede brugte biler til Polen kan have en modsat indvirkning p(cid:229) miljłet. Den n(cid:230)vnte polske lovgivning skelnede mellem miljłstandarderne for brugte kłretłjer fra henholdsvis Polen og fra F(cid:230)llesskabet, og gjorde det s(cid:229)ledes muligt for polske kłretłjer med lave miljłstandarder fortsat at v(cid:230)re i brug, medens kłretłjer fra F(cid:230)llesskabet med lignende eller hłjere miljłstandarder ikke kunne indfłres. Kommissionen anmodede om, at Polen tiln(cid:230)rmede sin lovgivning p(cid:229) dette omr(cid:229)de i overensstemmelse med kravene i Europa-aftalen. P(cid:229) linje med disse bestemmelser og med kravet i forbindelse med forberedelsen til tiltr(cid:230)delsen om at forbedre niveauet for miljłbeskyttelsen i Polen, forventes det, at Polens beslutning om at tiln(cid:230)rme sin lovgivning i denne henseende i 1999 vil fłre til hłjere miljłbeskyttelsesstandarder inden for denne sektor. (98/C 21/243) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-1966/97 af Richard Howitt (PSE) til Kommissionen (9. juni 1997) Om: Direktivet om veterin(cid:230)rl(cid:230)gemidler og udstedelse af recepter Er Kommissionen enig i, at direktivet om veterin(cid:230)rl(cid:230)gemidler p(cid:229) en urimelig m(cid:229)de giver dyrl(cid:230)ger mulighed for at skrue prisen p(cid:229) veterin(cid:230)rl(cid:230)gemidler op som fłlge af deres monopol p(cid:229) at udlevere disse l(cid:230)gemidler? Hvorfor kan der ikke udstedes recepter med henblik p(cid:229) udlevering fra apoteker for veterin(cid:230)rl(cid:230)gemidler, s(cid:229)ledes at kunderne kan spare penge og ulejlighed? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Martin Bangemann (9. juli 1997) Artikel 4 i R(cid:229)dets direktiv 81/851/E(cid:216)F om indbyrdes tiln(cid:230)rmelse af medlemsstaternes lovgivning om veterin(cid:230)rmedicinske pr(cid:230)parater (1) fasts(cid:230)tter, at n(cid:229)r der ikke findes tilladte pr(cid:230)parater mod en lidelse, kan medlemsstaterne undtagelsesvis, f. eks. for at undg(cid:229) uacceptable lidelser hos de p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende dyr, tillade, at et enkelt dyr eller et lille antal dyr p(cid:229) en bedrift af en dyrl(cid:230)ge eller under hans direkte personlige ansvar behandles med et andet pr(cid:230)parat. Pr(cid:230)paratet skal enten v(cid:230)re godkendt i medlemsstaten for en anden dyreart eller for samme dyreart, men en anden lidelse, eller, hvis disse to betingelser ikke foreligger, da for mennesker. Hvis der ikke findes noget godkendt pr(cid:230)parat, og med den begr(cid:230)nsning, der fłlger af den p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende medlemsstats lovgivning, kan behandling ske med et veterin(cid:230)rmedicinsk pr(cid:230)parat, som tilberedes p(cid:229) bestilling efter dyrl(cid:230)geordination af en person, der er bemyndiget hertil i henhold til national lovgivning. For fłdevareprodu- cerende dyr, overholdes en ret lang ventetid for at sikre, at fłdevarer fra det behandlede dyr ikke indeholder restkoncentrationer, der er farlige for forbrugerne

Kontti sisa¤lsi 1 236 000 kynittya¤ ja pakastettua varpusta, joiden arvo oli 3 300 700 Belgian frangia. Pikkuvarpusten (Passer montanus) tuonti ja vienti samoin kuin niilla¤ ka¤yta¤va¤ kauppa on kielletty. Kuitenkin yksinomaan Belgiaan tuodaan ta¤ha¤n lajiin kuuluvia lintuja vuosittain noin 6 000 000 kappaletta. Belgiaa ka¤yteta¤a¤n yleensa¤ kauttakulkumaana. Pakastettujen lintujen pa¤a¤asiallisia ostajia ovat Italia, Espanja ja Portugali, joissa na¤ita¤ lintuja tarjotaan kaupaksi korkeaan hintaan suurina herkkuina ja joissa niita¤ tarjotaan ruoaksi ravintoloissa. Onko komissio tietoinen edella¤ mainitusta tapauksesta tai yleensa¤ Kiinasta Euroopan unioniin ja erityisesti 1. Belgiaan suuntautuvan, varpusten tuonnin ongelmallisuudesta? a) Jos on, mita¤ toimenpiteita¤ komissio on ta¤ha¤n mennessa¤ toteuttanut ja mita¤ toimia komissio aikoo viela¤ toteuttaa edella¤ mainitun kaltaisen kaupanka¤ynnin esta¤miseksi? b) Jos ei ole, mita¤ toimia komissio aikoo toteuttaa saadakseen paremman kuvan edella¤ mainitun kaltaisesta toiminnasta?

Komission ja¤senen Ritt Bjerregaardin komission puolesta antama vastaus (1. elokuuta 1997) 1. Komissio ei ole saanut tietoa ta¤sta¤ asiasta, eika¤ sen puoleen ole ka¤a¤nnytty arvoisan parlamentin ja¤senen mainitsemassa ongelmassa. Oletuksena voi mainita, etta¤ ta¤llaisessa esimerkkitapauksessa nykyisen yhteiso¤n oikeuden voimassa ollessa rajavalvonta kuuluu yksinomaisesti kansallisille viranomaisille. ja 3. Tuomioistuin on 8. helmikuuta 1996 antamassaan tuomiossa (1) ta¤smenta¤nyt, etta¤ luonnonvaraisten 2. lintujen suojelusta 2 pa¤iva¤na¤ huhtikuuta 1979 annettu neuvoston direktiivi 79/409/ETY (2) soveltuu sellaisten lintujen alalajeihin, jotka ela¤va¤t luonnonvaraisina vain ja¤senvaltioiden Eurooppaan kuuluvan alueen ulkopuo- lella kun laji, johon ne kuuluvat, tai muut ta¤ma¤n lajin alalajit ela¤va¤t luonnonvaraisina kysymyksessa¤ olevalla alueella. Na¤in ollen kyseinen tuomio ei koske kolmansista maista suoraan tapahtuvaa tuontia, ja komission tieta¤a¤kseen yhteiso¤jen tuomioistuin ei ole viela¤ joutunut antamaan tuomioita ta¤ma¤n tyyppiseen tuontiin liittyvissa¤ asioissa. Ta¤ssa¤ yhteydessa¤ olisi syyta¤ tutkia myo¤s ta¤ta¤ ongelmakentta¤a¤ voimassa olevien kauppaan liittyvien kansainva¤- lisen oikeuden sa¤a¤nno¤sten pohjalta.

Algunos de ellos presentaban errores lingu¤(cid:14)·sticos particularmente graves, resultando dif(cid:14)·cil, y a veces totalmente imposible, comprender el texto. En la publicidad de este asunto se ha prestado especial atencio·n al folleto sobre la competencia en la ordenacio·n del territorio urbano publicado por la Direccio·n General de Pol(cid:14)·tica Regional de la Comisio·n, que es un ejemplo escandaloso de mala traduccio·n al fine·s.

Con objeto de evitar ulteriores revuelos de este car(cid:14)·z, ¿proyecta la Comisio·n impartir instrucciones internas a todas las direcciones generales y unidades que tienen servicios de traduccio·n para que las traducciones so·lo sean efectuadas por traductores cualificados que hayan superado un concurso y asegurar, al mismo tiempo, que la persona encargada de traducir el texto tiene como lengua materna aque·lla en que redacta la traduccio·n? ¿Procurara· tambie·n la Comisio·n que haya un nu·mero suficiente de traductores de lengua finesa para traducir debidamente todos los documentos? Respuesta del Sr. Liikanen en nombre de la Comisio·n (11 de julio de 1997) El reciente debate sobre la calidad de las traducciones finesas de los documentos de la Comunidad fue originado por un folleto que algunos consideraron erro·neamente una publicacio·n de una institucio·n europea.

title: INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA n. 1980/97 dell'on. Peter SKINNER alla Commissione. Veicoli pesanti - regimi fiscali e controlli sulla circolazione

text: C 60/74 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee 25. 2. 98 (98/C 60/108) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1980/97 di Peter Skinner (PSE) alla Commissione (9 giugno 1997) Oggetto: Veicoli pesanti › regimi fiscali e controlli sulla circolazione Quali misure prevede la Commissione per coordinare e armonizzare i regimi fiscali e i controlli sulla circolazione dei veicoli pesanti, al fine di garantire una concorrenza leale e integrare il mercato unico in tale settore? Risposta data dal Sig. Kinnock a nome della Commissione (31 luglio 1997) Nel mese di luglio 1996 la Commissione ha adottato una proposta di direttiva del Consiglio relativa alla tassazione degli autoveicoli pesanti adibiti al trasporto di merci su strada per l(cid:146)uso di talune infrastrutture (1), destinata a sostituire la direttiva 93/89/CEE (2), che disciplina l(cid:146)imposizione fiscale nel settore stradale a livello comunitario. La proposta della Commissione e‘ attualmente all(cid:146)esame del Consiglio e del Parlamento, dove e‘ stata esaminata in prima lettura nel luglio 1997. Quanto ai controlli sulla circolazione, si rinvia l(cid:146)Onorevole parlamentare alla risposta data dalla Commissione all(cid:146)interrogazione scritta E- 41/97 dell(cid:146)On. Cornelissen (3). (1) GU C 59 del 26. 2. 1997. (2) GU L 279 del 12. 11. 1993. (3) GU C 186 del 18. 6. 1997. (98/C 60/109) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1983/97 di Kirsi Piha (PPE) alla Commissione (9 giugno 1997) Oggetto: Traduzione in finnico di documenti In Finlandia, lo scadente livello della traduzione in finnico dei documenti della Commissione ha ultimamente suscitato stupore: taluni contenevano gravi errori e il testo era di difficile comprensione, quando non del tutto incomprensibile. A tale riguardo e‘ stato citato il testo del bando di gara per la pianificazione urbana e del territorio della Divisione generale per la politica regionale della Commissione, un esempio flagrante di traduzione mal riuscita. Gli esperti sostengono tuttavia che il traduttore non era di madrelingua finnica ed e‘ altres(cid:14)‘ possibile che la traduzione sia stata effettuata automaticamente. Onde evitare il ripetersi di tale sgradevole situazione, intende la Commissione presentare a tutte le sue Divisioni generali e alle unita‘ che usufruiscono dei servizi di traduzione una comunicazione interna per indurle a ricorrere a traduttori professionisti a tal fine reclutati tramite concorsi generali, accertandosi nel contempo che i documenti siano tradotti da personale la cui madrelingua e‘ la lingua in cui traduce? Puo‘ inoltre la Commissione sorvegliare affinche· i traduttori in finnico siano in quantita‘ sufficiente per un(cid:146)adeguata traduzione dei documenti? Risposta data dal sig. Liikanen a nome della Commissione (11 luglio 1997) Il recente dibattito sulla qualita‘ delle traduzioni in finnico dei documenti della Comunita‘ ha avuto origine da un opuscolo scambiato da alcuni, per errore e a torto per una pubblicazione di un(cid:146)istituzione europea. Si tratta, nella fattispecie, del documento presentato dal quotidiano Helsingin Sanomat nell(cid:146)edizione del 20 maggio 1997, che riguardava un concorso Urban Planning Award. Il concorso era organizzato dall(cid:146)European Council of Town Planning, organismo totalmente indipendente dalla Commissione e da ogni istituzione europea. Gli organizzatori del concorso hanno ricevuto una sovvenzione dalla Commissione, ma ne· la Commissione ne· le altre istituzioni sono intervenute nella pubblicazione o nell(cid:146)ordinazione dell(cid:146)opuscolo o della sua traduzione

Containern inneho¤ll sammanlagt 1 236 000 plockade och djupfrysta sparvar till ett motsvarande va¤rde av 3 300 700 BEF. Det a¤r varken till(cid:229)tet med handel eller import eller export av pilfinkar (Passer montanus). Trots detta fo¤rs det enbart till Belgien in cirka 6 000 000 exemplar av denna f(cid:229)gelart varje (cid:229)r. Belgien fungerar oftast som transitland. De frysta f(cid:229)glarnas ko¤pare finns huvudsakligen i Italien, Spanien och Portugal, da¤r dessa f(cid:229)glar sa¤ljs till ho¤ga priser och erbjuds p(cid:229) restaurangers menyer. Ka¤nner kommissionen till fallet ovan respektive hela den problematik som ro¤r importen av sparvar till EU, i 1. synnerhet till Belgien, fr(cid:229)n Kina? a) Om detta a¤r fallet, vilka (cid:229)tga¤rder har kommissionen vidtagit hittills och vilka ytterligare (cid:229)tga¤rder avser kommissionen att vidta fo¤r att fo¤rhindra denna handel? b) Om detta inte a¤r fallet, vilka (cid:229)tga¤rder kommer kommissionen att vidta fo¤r att sa¤tta sig in i den problematik som beskrivs ovan? Anser kommissionen att problematiken betra¤ffande importen av arter som a¤r skyddade i EU a¤r tillra¤ckligt 2. klarlagd genom den ra¤ttspraxis Europeiska gemenskapernas domstol har etablerat? Om detta a¤r fallet, vilka slutsatser drar kommissionen da¤rav na¤r det ga¤ller kommissionens och 3. medlemsstaternas skyldighet att agera? Svar fr(cid:229)n Ritt Bjerregaard p(cid:229) kommissionens va¤gnar (1 augusti 1997) 1. Kommissionen ka¤nde inte till denna ha¤ndelse och har heller inte tidigare fo¤relagts det problem parlamentsledamoten tar upp. Som gemenskapslagstiftningen nu ser ut a¤r det emellertid i liknande fall teoretiskt sett de nationella myndigheterna i den bero¤rda staten som har exklusiv beho¤righet att utfo¤ra gra¤nskontroll. I en dom av den 8 februari 1996 (1) har domstolen preciserat att r(cid:229)dets direktiv 79/409/EEG av den 2 2. och 3. april 1979 om bevarande av vilda f(cid:229)glar (2) ga¤ller fo¤r underarter av f(cid:229)glar som naturligt enbart lever i vilt tillst(cid:229)nd utanfo¤r gemenskapens territorium, om den art de tillho¤r eller andra underarter av samma art naturligt lever i vilt tillst(cid:229)nd p(cid:229) medlemsstaternas territorium. Eftersom detta a¤r fallet bero¤r inte denna dom direkt import fr(cid:229)n tredje land, och enligt vad kommissionen ka¤nner till har domstolen hittills inte haft anledning att avkunna dom i fall som ro¤r denna typ av import. Mot bakgrund av detta bo¤r denna problematik a¤ven underso¤kas i fo¤rh(cid:229)llande till de relevanta besta¤mmelserna inom internationell handelsra¤tt.

Dans un arre(cid:136)t du 8 fe·vrier 1996 (1), la Cour de justice a pre·cise· que la directive 79/409/CEE du Conseil, 2. et 3. du 2 avril 1979, concernant la protection des oiseaux sauvages (2) s(cid:146)applique aux sous-espe‘ces d(cid:146)oiseaux ne vivant naturellement a‘ l(cid:146)e·tat sauvage qu(cid:146)en dehors du territoire Communautaire, de‘s lors que l(cid:146)espe‘ce a‘ laquelle elles appartiennent ou d(cid:146)autres sous-espe‘ces de cette espe‘ce vivent naturellement a‘ l(cid:146)e·tat sauvage sur le territoire des E· tats membres.

text: C 82/24 FR Journal officiel des Communaute·s europe·ennes 17. 3. 98 (98/C 82/32) QUESTION E· CRITE E-1996/97 pose·e par Dietrich Elchlepp (PSE) a‘ la Commission (9 juin 1997) Objet: E· nergies renouvelables › aide et contro(cid:136)le de l(cid:146)utilisation des cre·dits Pour quels montants et pour quels projets des cre·dits ont-ils e·te· affecte·s a‘ ce jour, dans le cadre de l(cid:146)aide 1. re·gionale et de l(cid:146)aide agricole, a‘ la promotion des e·nergies renouvelables? La Commission ve·rifie-t-elle si, dans la planification des E· tats membres, toutes les possibilite·s de 2. production d(cid:146)e·nergie renouvelable sont utilise·es, par exemple l(cid:146)e·nergie produite par la biomasse? Sait-elle si les cre·dits sont utilise·s conforme·ment a‘ l(cid:146)objectif pre·vu? Si tel n(cid:146)est pas le cas, pourquoi pas? Est-il exact que le programme solaire THESEUS, initialement pre·vu, avec une aide de l(cid:146)Union, pour la 3. production d(cid:146)e·nergie thermique solaire en Cre‘te, a e·te· transfe·re· vers les sites insulaires de Chania et d(cid:146)Athe·rinolakos au profit de la construction de centrales conventionnelles (turbines a‘ gaz fonctionnant au gasole, ge·ne·rateurs diesel et centrales a‘ vapeur)? Comment cela est-il compatible avec les de·clarations des responsables politiques grecs et celles de la Commission qui entendaient faire de la Cre‘te un mode‘le dans le domaine des e·nergies renouvelables? Re·ponse donne·e par M. Papoutsis au nom de la Commission (16 septembre 1997) 1. Dans le cadre du de·veloppement rural, les aides aux investissements en faveur des e·nergies renouvelables font partie de la mesure «valorisation du potentiel endoge‘ne». Plusieurs projets sont finance·s dans ce contexte, soit pour la production de biodiesel a‘ partir de graines de colza ou de bioe·thanol a‘ partir de ble· ou de betteraves sucrie‘res, soit pour la valorisation du bois ou la gaze·ification des de·chets de matie‘res biode·gradables, y inclus les fumiers et les de·chets d(cid:146)abattoirs. E· tant donne· que les projets individuels ne sont pas identifie·s en fonction des programmes approuve·s, il est difficile de chiffrer le montant exact des aides en la matie‘re. En ce qui concerne les fonds re·gionaux, la promotion des sources d(cid:146)e·nergie renouvelables fait partie des programmes spe·cifiques pour chacun des E· tats membres relevant de l(cid:146)Objectif 1. Le financement de sources d(cid:146)e·nergie renouvelables, sur un montant total de trois milliards d(cid:146)e·cus consacre·s a‘ l(cid:146)e·nergie, concerne les E· tats membres suivants (pour la pe·riode 1994-1999): › Gre‘ce: 75,3 millions d(cid:146)e·cus, ce qui repre·sente 8,7 % du sous-programme e·nergie; › Espagne: 84,42 millions d(cid:146)e·cus au total, dont 26 millions d(cid:146)e·cus provenant des programmes re·gionaux et 56,42 millions d(cid:146)e·cus d(cid:146)une subvention globale du sous-programme e·nergie; › Irlande: 8,6 millions d(cid:146)e·cus, soit 27 % du sous-programme e·nergie; › Portugal: un total de 172,85 millions d(cid:146)e·cus, dont 70 millions d(cid:146)e·cus repre·sentent 21,7 % du sous- programme e·nergie; 12,95 millions d(cid:146)e·cus proviennent du programme Made‘re, 68,4 millions d(cid:146)e·cus du programme A(cid:231)ores et 21,5 millions d(cid:146)e·cus du programme REGIS II C. I. pour les A(cid:231)ores. Au cours de la pe·riode de programmation pre·ce·dente, de 1989 a‘ 1993, l(cid:146)initiative communautaire VALOREN a contribue· pour 293,75 millions d(cid:146)e·cus au renforcement du potentiel e·nerge·tique endoge‘ne, sur un montant total de 2 331 millions d(cid:146)e·cus octroye·s dans le domaine de l(cid:146)e·nergie. 2. La Commission cofinance des projets de planification au niveau national et re·gional dans le domaine des e·nergies renouvelables. Dans ce cadre, elle veille a‘ ce que toutes les possibilite·s de production d(cid:146)e·nergie a‘ partir des sources renouvelables soient analyse·es, y compris la biomasse. La de·cision et les modalite·s de mise en (cid:156)uvre de tels plans rele‘vent de la responsabilite· des E· tats membres.

text: 10. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 45/133 3. The Commission will contact the Italian authorities to request the particulars necessary to determine whether Community legislation on public procurement was complied with when the contract in question was awarded. In particular, it will request information on the extent to which the consortium comprising EDS Electronic Data Systems Italia S. p. A. and Ferrovie dello Stato S. p. A. fulfils the minimum conditions for participation. On this basis, the Commission will assess whether the present case meets the criteria for instituting proceedings against Italy for failure to fulfil an obligation, as laid down in Article 169 of the EC Treaty. (98/C 45/171) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1973/97 by Reimer Bo¤ge (PPE) to the Commission (9 June 1997) Subject: Imports of huntsmen(cid:146)s trophies from third countries What Community rules exist on the importation of huntsmen(cid:146)s trophies from third countries? Are such rules applied uniformly in all Member States? Can the Commission confirm that some Member States permit derogations from the Single Market regulation on protection against epizootic diseases in respect of imports of huntsmen(cid:146)s trophies? If so, what form do they take and for how long may they continue to be applied? Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (2 July 1997) The introduction into the Community of hunting trophies is subject to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1) and Commission Regulations (EC) No 938/97 and 939/97 of 26 May 1997 (2) on the implementation of that Council Regulation. These regulations entered into force on 1 June 1997 and replace Regulations (EEC) No 3626/82 (3) and 3418/83 (4) that have been in force since 1 January 1984. The Commission is not aware of differences in application of the regulations in the Member States. As far as animal health is concerned, Annex I Chapter 13 of Council Directive 92/118/EEC as amended by Commission Decision 94/466/EC (5), establishes the conditions for the import of game trophies. On the basis of this Directive, Commission Decision 96/500/EC laying down the animal health requirements and the certification or official declaration for the import of game trophies of bird and ungulates not having undergone a complete taxidermy treatment from third countries (6) has been adopted. Therefore, from 1 January 1997 Member States shall authorise the import of game trophies from third countries only if they are accompanied by the appropriate harmonised certificate or official declarations as laid down in the Community legislation. No bilateral derogation to this animal health condition is permitted from that date. (1) OJ L 61, 3. 3. 1997. (2) OJ L 140, 30. 5. 1997. (3) OJ L 384, 31. 12. 1982. (4) OJ L 344, 7. 12. 1983.

Juni 1997) Betrifft: Tu¤rkische (cid:132)Zollfreizone(cid:147) und das Vorgehen der Kommission Da ich auf meine mu¤ndliche Anfrage H-0317/97 (1) keine vo¤llig zufriedenstellende Antwort erhielt, mo¤chte ich noch ein wenig auf der Frage der (cid:132)Zollfreizonen(cid:147) in der Tu¤rkei beharren. In der Antwort, die ich erhielt, hei(cid:223)t es, da(cid:223) Vertreter der Kommission und der Mitgliedstaaten Besuche in verschiedenen (cid:132)Freizonen(cid:147) durchfu¤hrten, und da(cid:223) die Lage als zufriedenstellend betrachtet werde. Diese sehr ernsthafte Frage hat mit der Nichteinhaltung der von tu¤rkischer Seite im Abkommen u¤ber die Zollunion eingegangenen Verpflichtungen zu tun sowie damit, da(cid:223) aus Drittla¤ndern stammende Textilerzeug- nisse widerrechtlich als (cid:132)tu¤rkische Produkte(cid:147) in die EU weiterexportiert werden. Kann die Europa¤ische Kommission daher genau mitteilen, welche (cid:132)Zollfreizonen(cid:147) u¤berpru¤ft wurden, und ob u¤ber die UCLAF gegebenenfalls neue unangeku¤ndigte Stichproben in diesen Zonen erwogen werden? (1) Verhandlungen des Europa¤ischen Parlaments (Mai 1997). Antwort von Herrn Van den Broek im Namen der Kommission (8.

Bei dieser Gelegenheit besichtigte die Mission die Zollfreizonen von Istanbul und Mersin, in denen sie keinerlei Versto(cid:223) gegen die Vorschriften der Zollunion feststellte. Da es sich um eine U¤ berwachungsmission handelte, wurde das fu¤r die Koordinierung der Betrugsbeka¤mpfung zusta¤ndige Referat nicht hinzugezogen. Die tu¤rkischen Beho¤rden besta¤tigten au(cid:223)erdem der Mission ihren Wunsch, u¤ber jeden von der Gemeinschaft gegebenenfalls aufgedeckten Betrugsfall unterrichtet zu werden. Die Kommission beha¤lt sich das Recht vor, solche Fa¤lle bei der Tu¤rkei vorzubringen, falls ihr ordnungsgema¤(cid:223) begru¤ndete Klagen unterbreitet wu¤rden. Insbesondere ist die Kommission bereit, jedes pra¤zise Kriterium betreffend Betrugsfa¤lle zu pru¤fen, das ihr zur Kenntnis gebracht wu¤rde. Auf alle Fa¤lle vereinbarten die Gemeinschaft und die Tu¤rkei, im Rahmen der Empfehlungen des Assoziationsausschusses Gemeinschaft-Tu¤rkei vom 24. April 1997 diese Frage regelma¤(cid:223)ig zu verfolgen, um jede Verzerrung der Vorschriften der Zollunion zu verhindern.

text: C 60/72 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 2. 98 (98/C 60/106) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1964/97 by Undine-Uta Bloch von Blottnitz (V) to the Commission (9 June 1997) Subject: Import of frozen sparrows from China into the European Union On 28 January 1997 a customs officer at the port of Antwerp confiscated a container which was to be brought into the Netherlands by lorry. The container held a total of 1 236 000 plucked and frozen sparrows with a value of BFR 3 300 700. Neither trade nor imports or exports of tree sparrows (Passer montanus) are permitted. Nonetheless about 6 000 000 birds of this species are brought into the country each year. Belgium mostly acts as a transit country and the main purchasers of the frozen birds are Italy, Spain and Portugal where these birds are traded at high prices as a delicacy and placed on the menus of restaurants. Is the Commission aware of the incident described above and the whole problem of imports of sparrows 1. from China into the EU and in particular Belgium? If so, what action has the Commission taken to date and what does it intend to do to halt this trade? If not, what steps will it take to find out about the problem described above? Does the Commission consider that the problem of the import of species which are protected in the EU has 2. been adequately clarified by the case law of the European Court of Justice? If so, what action does it consider incumbent on itself and the governments of the Member States? Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (1 August 1997) 1. The Commission was unaware of this matter, nor had it been approached on the problem raised by the Honourable Member. In similar cases, however, when all is said and done frontier policing falls solely within the powers of the national authorities as Community law now stands. In a judgment handed down on 8 February 1996 (1) the European Court of Justice stated that Council 2. and 3. Directive 99/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the protection of wild birds (2) applies to subspecies of birds that do not naturally live in the wild state other than outside Community territory if the species to which they belong, or other subspecies of that species, naturally live in the wild state on Member-State territory. This being the case this judgment does not concern direct imports from non-member countries and, to the Commission’s knowledge, the Court of Justice has still not been caused to hand down judgments in cases involving this type of import. Against this background it would also be appropriate to examine this body of problems in the light of the relevant rules of international law that apply to trade.

title: INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA n. 1973/97 dell'on. Reimer BÖGE alla Commissione. Importazione di trofei di caccia da paesi terzi

text: 10. 2. 98 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee C 45/133 3. La Commissione si rivolgera‘ alle autorita‘ italiane allo scopo di ottenerele informazioni necessarie per valutare se nell(cid:146)aggiudicazione del suddetto contratto sono state rispettate le disposizioni del diritto comunitario relative agli appalti pubblici. Saranno chieste in particolare informazioni sulla conformita‘ ai requisiti minimi di partecipazione del Raggruppamento Temporaneo di Imprese costituito da EDS Electronic Data Systems Italia Spa e Ferrovie dello Stato Spa. In base a tali informazioni la Commissione valutera‘ se nella fattispecie sono presenti le condizioni per avviare una procedura d(cid:146)infrazione nei confronti dell(cid:146)Italia, ai sensi dell(cid:146)articolo 169 del trattato CE. (98/C 45/171) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1973/97 di Reimer Bo¤ge (PPE) alla Commissione (9 giugno 1997) Oggetto: Importazione di trofei di caccia da paesi terzi Quali disposizioni comunitarie esistono per l(cid:146)importazione da paesi terzi di trofei animali? Tali disposizioni trovano uniforme applicazione in tutti gli Stati membri? Puo‘ la Commissione confermare che per tale importazione esistono in taluni Stati membri dell(cid:146)UE regimi di deroga alle disposizioni per la protezione dalle epizoozie nell(cid:146)ambito del mercato interno? Se la risposta e‘ affermativa, di quali deroghe si tratta e per quanto tempo ancora e‘ consentita la loro applicazione? Risposta data dalla signora Bjerregaard a nome della Commissione (2 luglio 1997) L(cid:146)importazione nella Comunita‘ dei trofei di caccia e‘ disciplinata dal regolamento (CE) n. 338/97 del Consiglio, del 9 dicembre 1996, relativo alla protezione di specie della flora e della fauna selvatiche mediante il controllo del loro commercio (1) e i regolamenti (CE) n. 938/97 e 939/97 della Commissione, del 26 maggio 1997 (2), recanti modalita‘ di applicazione del citato regolamento del Consiglio. I due regolamenti della Commissione sono entrati in vigore il 1(cid:176) giugno 1997 in sostituzione dei regolamenti (CEE) n. 3626/82 (3) e n. 3418/83 (4), in vigore dal 1(cid:176) gennaio 1984. Alla Commissione non risultano differenze di applicazione dei regolamenti negli Stati membri. Per quanto riguarda gli aspetti di polizia sanitaria, l(cid:146)allegato I, capitolo 13 della direttiva 92/118/CEE del Consiglio, modificata dalla decisione 94/466/CE (5), della Commissione, stabilisce le condizioni per l(cid:146)importa- zione nella Comunita‘ dei trofei di caccia. Sulla base di tale direttiva, la Commissione ha adottato la decisione 96/500/CE (6) che stabilisce le condizioni di polizia sanitaria e la certificazione o la dichiarazione ufficiale per le importazioni dai paesi terzi di trofei di caccia di volatili e ungulati che non sono stati sottoposti ad un trattamento completo di tassidermia. Pertanto, a partire dal 1(cid:176) gennaio 1997 gli Stati membri autorizzano l(cid:146)importazione di trofei di caccia dai paesi terzi solo se detti trofei sono accompagnati dai pertinenti certificati armonizzati o da dichiarazioni ufficiali come stabilito dal diritto comunitario. A decorrere dalla data citata non sono ammesse deroghe bilaterali a tali prescrizioni di polizia sanitaria. (1) GU L 61 del 3. 3. 1997. (2) GU L 140 del 30. 5. 1997. (3) GU L 384 del 31. 12. 1982.

title: INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA n. 1966/97 dell'on. Richard HOWITT alla Commissione. Direttiva "ricette a cascata" per i farmaci veterinari

text: 22. 1. 98 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee C 21/127 (98/C 21/242) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-1961/97 di Karin Riis-Jłrgensen (ELDR) alla Commissione (29 maggio 1997) Oggetto: Passi della Commissione presso il governo polacco affinche· abolisca talune disposizioni in materia ambientale In Polonia esiste una normativa volta a vietare l(cid:146)importazione di autoveicoli non muniti di marmitta catalitica e di autoveicoli aventi piu‘ di 10 anni. Scopo di queste disposizioni e‘ ridurre l(cid:146)inquinamento provocato dalla forte presenza sul mercato di autoveicoli di seconda mano provenienti da paesi dell(cid:146)Europa occidentale. Puo‘ la Commissione far sapere cosa sta facendo in proposito e se e‘ vero che sta esercitando pressioni sul governo polacco affinche· abolisca queste norme? E(cid:146) vera l(cid:146)impressione che, se le cose stanno cos(cid:14)‘, la Commissione sta mirando esclusivamente ad obbligare il mercato polacco a non chiudersi ai prodotti occidentali, indipendente- mente dalla loro qualita‘? Non sarebbe invece necessario sostenere il governo polacco per il bene della salute e dell(cid:146)ambiente? Risposta data dal Sig. van den Broek in nome della Commissione (3 luglio 1997) La Commissione e‘ consapevole che l(cid:146)importazione di veicoli di seconda mano, obsoleti, in Polonia potrebbe avere un impatto ambientale negativo. Tuttavia, la normativa polacca in questione differenzia gli standard ambientali applicati al trattamento dei veicoli di seconda mano originari della Polonia rispetto a quelli originari della Comunita‘, permettendo in tal modo ai veicoli polacchi, caratterizzati da standard ambientali bassi, di continuare a circolare mentre vieta l(cid:146)importazione di veicoli originari della Comunita‘, caratterizzati da livelli simili o superiori di standard ambientali. La Commissione ha chiesto alla Polonia di ravvicinare la sua normativa nel settore ai sensi delle disposizioni dell(cid:146)accordo europeo. Considerate queste disposizioni e le condizioni da soddisfare ai fini dell(cid:146)adesione per migliorare il livello di tutela ambientale in Polonia e vista la decisione del paese di ravvicinare la sua normativa in tale ambito entro il 1999, si spera nell(cid:146)istituzione di standard superiori in materia di protezione ambientale in questo ambito. (98/C 21/243) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1966/97 di Richard Howitt (PSE) alla Commissione (9 giugno 1997) Oggetto: Direttiva «ricette a cascata» per i farmaci veterinari Conviene la Commissione sul fatto che la Direttiva «ricette a cascata» consente ingiustamente agli ambulatori veterinari di imporre prezzi piu‘ elevati per i farmaci forniti, a causa del loro monopolio sull(cid:146)approvvigionamento dei farmaci ad uso veterinario? Per quale motivo non e‘ possibile rilasciare una ricetta utilizzabile presso una farmacia veterinaria, facendo cos(cid:14)‘ risparmiare tempo e denaro ai consumatori? Risposta data dal Signor Bangemann in nome della Commissione (9 luglio 1997) L(cid:146)articolo 4 della direttiva 81/851/CEE del Consiglio, del 28 settembre 1981, per il ravvicinamento delle legislazioni degli Stati membri relative ai medicinali veterinari (1) dispone che qualora non esistano medicinali autorizzati per un determinato morbo, gli Stati membri possono eccezionalmente consentire, in particolare al fine di evitare agli animali sofferenze inaccettabili, che sia somministrato da un veterinario un diverso medicinale. Tale medicinale deve essere somministrato sotto la sua diretta responsabilita‘, ad uno o a pochi animali di un(cid:146)azienda determinata. Il medicinale impiegato deve essere autorizzato nello Stato membro interessato per un(cid:146)altra specie animale o per un(cid:146)altra affezione oppure, nell(cid:146)impossibilita‘ di soddisfare le due precedenti condizioni, deve essere autorizzato per l(cid:146)impiego sull(cid:146)uomo. Qualora non dovesse esistere un medicinale autorizzato, un medicinale veterinario puo‘ essere preparato estemporaneamente da una persona autorizzata all(cid:146)uopo secondo la legislazione nazionale, conformemente alle indicazioni contenute in una prescrizione veterinaria. Se esso e‘ somministrato ad animali la cui carne o i cui prodotti sono destinati al consumo umano dovra‘ essere osservato un tempo d(cid:146)attesa prolungato per garantire che gli alimenti prodotti con gli animali trattati non contengano residui nocivi per i consumatori


title: WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1962/97 by Undine-Uta BLOCH von BLOTTNITZ to the Commission. Imports of protected animal species from Poland to Belgium

eurovoc_concepts: action for failure to fulfil an obligation

text: 25. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 60/71 Neither grassland nor the harvesting of the plant cover are covered by these provisions. It is true that at one time it was feared that the drought would affect plant cover. However, the latest information on the state of the crops is that a normal harvest can be expected. There is therefore no reason to derogate from the rules in force. In any case, a local drought problem can always be met by the market and regional supplies. (1) OJ L 181, 1. 7. 1992. (2) OJ L 90, 7. 4. 1994. (98/C 60/105) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1962/97 by Undine-Uta Bloch von Blottnitz (V) to the Commission (9 June 1997) Subject: Imports of protected animal species from Poland to Belgium On 12 February 1997 German frontier police discovered an illegal consignment of animals en route from Poland via Germany to Belgium. The consignment mainly concerned Siberian goldfinches (Carduelis carduelis major), a subspecies of the European finches. The carrier of the birds was employed by a Belgian dealer. 1. Is the Commission aware of the case described above? Is it aware of comparable cases? Are such cases automatically referred to the Commission and does it keep statistics? If not, will the Commission take steps to obtain such information in future so that it can bring actions against the Member State concerned if necessary, in relation to complaints or infringements of the Treaty? 2. Does the Commission consider that the checks undertaken at the external and internal frontiers of the European Union or its Member States are sufficient to ensure success in preventing illegal movements of protected animals? If not, what practical steps will the Commission take to prevent such illegal trade in the future? What steps has the Commission already taken or will it take to assist states bordering on the EU which are not yet members, or which are soon to become members, to establish and/or implement effective species protection legislation? Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (4 August 1997) 1. The Commission learned of this matter through the press. It has received no official communication on the subject. Indeed, Community law does not require the Member States to inform the Commission of this type of situation. Therefore no particular statistics have been kept by the Commission in this area. 2. (a) The Commission has no specific information in its possession on the checks actively carried out in this connection by the Member States at the Community’s external frontiers. It should be pointed out that systematic checks of this type at the internal frontiers became unacceptable on completion of the internal market on 1 January 1993. However, the national authorities remain free to carry out checks on a random or spot basis. (b) In the wake of Poland’s request for accession the Commission has acquired a certain amount of information on the extent of approximation of Polish law to its Community counterpart. It would seem, as regards the (cid:145)birds(cid:146) directive, that Polish law is very close to Community law. The LIFE assistance programme would seem to be the most appropriate in supporting that country’s efforts towards the protection of nature
