text: 16. 4. 98 FR Journal officiel des Communaute·s europe·ennes C 117/17 (98/C 117/21) QUESTION E· CRITE E-2398/97 pose·e par Carles-Alfred Gaso‘liba i Bo¤hm (ELDR) a‘ la Commission (10 juillet 1997) Objet: Atteinte porte·e aux marais d(cid:146)Oliva-Pego sur le plan e·cologique Le marais d(cid:146)Oliva-Pego, situe· dans la communaute· de Valence, a subi au cours de ces dernie‘res semaines des dommages importants occasionne·s notamment par plusieurs incendies et des mesures de de·frichage qui ont de·te·riore· conside·rablement cette zone sur le plan e·cologique, situation a‘ laquelle il devrait e(cid:136)tre porte· reme‘de par le biais du projet de parc naturel e·labore· pour cette re·gion. La Commission est-elle au courant des difficulte·s que rencontre actuellement le projet de parc naturel con(cid:231)u pour le marais d(cid:146)Oliva-Pego? Pourrait-elle en outre dire ce qu(cid:146)il en est des aides europe·ennes sollicite·es par la «Generalitat» de Valence afin de financer l(cid:146)achat de terrains aux agriculteurs? Re·ponse donne·e par Mme Bjerregaard au nom de la Commission (12 septembre 1997) La Commission conna(cid:14)(cid:136)t les e·ve·nements qui ont eu lieu aux marais de Pego-Oliva, car la conservation de cette zone est l(cid:146)un des objectifs du projet Life-Nature «Programma de acciones para la conservacio·n de humedales valencianos y creacio·n de a·reas de reserva para el samaruc (Valencia hispanica)», dont le contrat (B4-3200/92/15183 et B4-3200/95/525) a e·te· e·tabli en de·cembre 1992 entre la Commission et le gouvernement de Valence. La Commission a demande· au be·ne·ficiaire la transmission pe·riodique d(cid:146)informations sur les actions mises en (cid:156)uvre pour assurer la conservation de cette zone humide face aux activite·s de certains agriculteurs. Les mesures mises en (cid:156)uvre sont les suivantes: › pre·sentation d(cid:146)une plainte par le directeur de la re·serve contre le maire de Pego (de·lit suppose· contre les ressources naturelles, l(cid:146)environnement, de·sobe·issance grave et de·tention ille·gale); › ordre de la Consejer(cid:14)·a de medio ambiente qui paralyse tout type d(cid:146)activite· dans les marais; › ordre du juge compe·tent, interdisant toute activite· dans les marais et confiant a‘ la garde civile la surveillance des infractions possibles; › les actions contraires a‘ cette interdiction ont fait l(cid:146)objet des de·nonciations correspondantes devant la cour nationale compe·tente. En 1996, l(cid:146)administration de Valence a achete· ou effectue des de·marches pour l(cid:146)achat aux Marais de Pego-Oliva de 569 «anegadas» (approximativement 50 hectares) pour une valeur totale de 111 millions de pesetas. Les gestions pour l(cid:146)achat d(cid:146)une surface similaire en 1997 sont en cours. (98/C 117/22) QUESTION E· CRITE E-2401/97 pose·e par Leen van der Waal (I-EDN) a‘ la Commission (10 juillet 1997) Objet: Reconnaissance de l(cid:146)acade·mie biblique «Logos» en Bulgarie Selon un communique· paru dans la revue «Face a‘ Face» de mai 1997 (publie·e par l(cid:146)organisation «Droits de l(cid:146)Homme sans Frontie‘res»), l(cid:146)acade·mie biblique «Logos» n(cid:146)est toujours par reconnue par les autorite·s bulgares, malgre· ses demandes re·ite·re·es. Or, cette acade·mie e·mane des principales e·glises protestantes officiellement reconnues en Bulgarie, a e·te· enregistre·e en 1990 par le tribunal de Sofia et dispense un enseignement universitaire e·quivalent a‘ celui de la faculte· de the·ologie de l(cid:146)universite· St Kliment Ohridski de Sofia. Lors de l(cid:146)adaptation de la le·gislation sur les cultes, en 1993, la reconnaissance a e·te· refuse·e a‘ l(cid:146)acade·mie biblique «Logos», ce qui lui pose de nombreux proble‘mes pratiques. 1. La Commission peut-elle confirmer ce communique·? Dans quelle mesure le refus de reconnaissance officielle de l(cid:146)acade·mie biblique «Logos» est-il contraire au 2. principe de la liberte· de religion, inscrit dans la constitution bulgare et dans les conventions internationales? La Commission est-elle dispose·e a‘ demander aux autorite·s bulgares de reconna(cid:14)(cid:136)tre officiellement 3. l(cid:146)acade·mie biblique «Logos» le plus rapidement possible?

(1) COM(96)591. (98/C 82/112) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-2372/97 de Patricia McKenna (V) a la Comisio·n (10 de julio de 1997) Asunto: Propuestas para una prohibicio·n de la carne tratada con hormonas a escala de la UE La Coordinadora de Agricultores Europeos (European Farmers(cid:146) Co-ordination: EFC) ha solicitado a la UE que se proh(cid:14)·ba la carne tratada con hormonas y se lance una campan(cid:152)a en favor de una prohibicio·n internacional. La Organizacio·n Mundial de Comercio se ocupa en la actualidad de esta cuestio·n y se ha establecido un comite· internacional de arbitraje debido a las diferencias de puntos de vista entre la UE y los EEUU. Segu·n la EFC, ni los agricultores ni los consumidores necesitan hormonas y debe prevalecer el principio de precaucio·n sanitaria a largo plazo. Considerando que en recientes manifestaciones la Comisio·n ha indicado que tambie·n comparte la pol(cid:14)·tica de precaucio·n sanitaria a largo plazo, ¿tiene la Comisio·n la intencio·n de luchar a favor de una prohibicio·n de la carne tratada con hormonas tanto en la UE como a escala internacional? Respuesta del Sr. Fischler en nombre de la Comisio·n (4 de septiembre de 1997) La Comisio·n es consciente de que la Coordinadora de Agricultores Europeos es favorable al mantenimiento de la prohibicio·n de la carne tratada con hormonas, tanto en la Comunidad como por lo que se refiere a las importaciones procedentes de pa(cid:14)·ses terceros. En el marco del grupo de expertos sobre hormonas de la Organizacio·n Mundial del Comercio (OMC) de Ginebra, la Comisio·n ha invocado el principio de cautela en apoyo de sus demandas y defendido la postura segu·n la cual el derecho de la Comunidad a decidir acerca del nivel de proteccio·n sanitaria que considera adecuado para sus ciudadanos debe ser plenamente reconocido en el Acuerdo sanitario y fitosanitario. Su Sen(cid:152)or(cid:14)·a puede tener por seguro que la Comisio·n utilizara· todos los medios legales de que dispone en los recursos presentados en la OMC, a fin de defender la normativa comunitaria actualmente vigente. (98/C 82/113) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-2373/97 de Juan Colino Salamanca (PSE) a la Comisio·n (10 de julio de 1997) Asunto: Ayudas al sector de la aceituna de mesa El sector de la aceituna de mesa atraviesa, en la actualidad, una grave crisis. Los elevados costos de este cultivo ›que, salvo medidas de promocio·n, carece de ayudas comunitarias› elevan el previo del producto, ocasionando la consiguiente reduccio·n del consumo y la pe·rdida de competitividad, frente a pa(cid:14)·ses terceros, de la produccio·n comunitaria. El propio Documento de opciones para la reforma del aceite de oliva COM(97) 57 final recoge la gravedad de la situacio·n y las expectativas del sector en esta reforma. ¿Piensa hacer algo la Comisio·n para asegurar la supervivencia de este producto netamente europeo? ¿Ha estudiado la posibilidad de conceder una ayuda espec(cid:14)·fica, tal y como reclaman los productores, que no entre en conflicto con el sector del aceite de oliva?

SJN-u, SPORAZUMJELI SU SE: Članak 1. Obveze EZ-a 1. Kako bi dopunili i proširili djelokrug svojih obveza sukladno SJN-u prema Izraelu, EZ se obvezuje izmijeniti svoje Opće napomene Dodatku I. SJN-u kako slijedi: — nakon Opće napomene 1. , druge alineje, slovo (e) glasi: „(gradski prijevoz) za dobavljače i pružatelje usluga iz Kanade, Japana, Koreje i SAD; za dobavljače i pružatelje usluga iz Izraela, u pogledu usluga autobusnog prijevoza;”. 2. EZ obavješćuje Tajništvo WTO-a o navedenoj izmjeni u roku od mjesec dana od stupanja na snagu ovog Sporazuma. Članak 2. Obveze Izraela 1. Kako bi dopunili i proširili djelokrug svojih obveza sukladno SJN-u prema EZ-a, Izrael se obvezuje izmjeniti svoje priloge i napomene Dodatku I. SJN-u kako slijedi: (a) dodati Popisu subjekata u Prilogu 3. : ”… Svi subjekti koji djeluju u području gradskog prijevoza, osim onih koji djeluju u području autobusnog prijevoza …”; (b) dodati Napomeni 2. u Prilogu 3. sljedeći stavak: „U pogledu nabave od strane subjekata koji djeluju u području gradskog prijevoza, osim onih koji djeluju u području autobusnog prijevoza, ovaj Sporazum primjenjuje se samo na robu i usluge, uključujući usluge graditeljstva, Europske zajednice. ” Izrael je voljan pregovarati o otvaranju postupaka nabave subjekata koji djeluju u području gradskog prijevoza, osim onih koji djeluju u području autobusnog prijevoza, drugima članicama kodeksa pod uvjetom uzajamnosti; (c) dodati sljedeće usluge popisu iz Priloga 4. : „6112, 6122, 633, 886 Usluge održavanja i popravaka 874, 82201-82206 Usluge čišćenja zgrada i usluge upravljanja imovinom 88442 Usluge izdavaštva i tiskanja na temelju naknade ili ugovora. ”; Stranke su sporazumne da Izrael u najvećoj mogućoj mjeri nastoji proširiti popis usluga sukladno SJN-u u pogledu EZ-a, sukladno uvjetima iz članka 4. stavka 4. ovog Sporazuma; (d) izmijeniti Napomenu 1. Priloga 1. kako slijedi: „— Medicinski povoji (zavoji, samoljepive trake bez zavoja od gaze i jastučića od gaze). ” 2. Izrael obavješćuje Tajništvo WTO-a o takvim izmjenama u roku od mjesec dana od stupanja na snagu ovog Sporazuma. 3. Neovisno o gornjem članku 2. stavku 1. točci (d), ako Izrael u odnosu na drugu stranku SJN-a smanji ili ne primjeni svoja izuzeća navedena u napomenama iz Priloga 3. SJN-u 1996. , on nudi iste pogodnosti Europskoj zajednici na uzajamnoj osnovi. Izrael ne zahtijeva, putem zakona, drugih propisa ili prakse, od bolnica koje nisu obuhvaćene u SJN-u iz 1996. diskriminiranje proizvoda, usluga i dobavljača iz EZ-a. Ne dovodeći u pitanje bilo koji zaseban sporazum između stranaka ovog Sporazuma, u pogledu svojih kompenzacijskih zahtjeva i postupaka i razina pragova, Izrael ne postupa s dobavljačima i pružateljima usluga, proizvodima i uslugama iz EZ-a nepovoljnije nego s dobavljačima i pružateljima usluga, proizvodima i uslugama drugih stranaka SJN-a. 4. U pogledu nabave iznad praga od 550 000 SDR od strane općina koje nisu obuhvaćene Popisom subjekata iz Priloga 2. SJN-u iz 1996. , Izrael ne postupa s proizvodima, uslugama i dobavljačima iz EZ-a nepovoljnije nego s domaćim proizvodima, uslugama i dobavljačima. Izrael ulaže maksimalne napore da na ove nabave primijeni postupke utvrđene u SJN-u. S tim će ciljem Izrael pravovremeno podnijeti Tajništvu SJN-a popis subjekata koje treba dodati sadašnjem Prilogu 2. SJN-u prema uvjetima uzajamnosti. Članak 3. Savjetovanja Stranke se, na zahtjev bilo koje stranke, a najmanje jednom godišnje, savjetuju o djelovanju i provedbi ovog Sporazuma. Ova odredba ne dovodi u pitanje postupke savjetovanja predviđene SJN-om. Članak 4. Završne odredbe 1. Ovaj je Sporazum sastavljen u dva primjerka na danskom, nizozemskom, engleskom, finskom, francuskom, njemačkom, grčkom, talijanskom, portugalskom, španjolskom, švedskom i hebrejskom jeziku, od kojih je svaki tekst jednako vjerodostojan. On se primjenjuje na ista državna područja EZ-a odnosno Izraela na koje se primjenjuje SJN. 2. Ovaj Sporazum stupa na snagu prvog dana mjeseca od datuma kada su stranke jedna drugu obavijestile da su njihovi postupci ratifikacije ili zaključenja ili usvajanja, sukladno pravilima koja se primjenjuju kod svake stranke, dovršeni. 3. Ovaj Sporazum ne utječe na prava i obveze stranaka na temelju WTO-u ili drugih višestranih instrumenata sklopljenih pod okriljem WTO-a. 4.

Le misure previste in caso di violazione di una disposizione del diritto comunitario consistono nell’avviare una procedura d’infrazione basata sull’articolo 169 del trattato CE. Il fatto di comunicare alla Commissione una presunta violazione del diritto comunitario non comporta necessariamente l’apertura di una procedura d’infrazione sulla base dell’articolo 169 del trattato CE, perche· i fatti e gli argomenti presentati devono essere verificati e valutati sul piano giuridico, di solito dopo avere ricevuto le osservazioni delle autorita‘ nazionali. Non e‘ da escludere che, in circostanze particolari, nel quadro di una procedura a norma dell’articolo 169 del trattato CE, la Commissione possa chiedere alla Corte di giustizia di adottare i provvedimenti provvisori necessari in base all’articolo 186 del trattato CE.

text: 11. 3. 98 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee C 76/101 (98/C 76/201) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2366/97 di Jan Mulder (ELDR) alla Commissione (10 luglio 1997) Oggetto: Selvicoltura nell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale Stando alle notizie pubblicate sulla stampa olandese, l(cid:146)attuale ondata di privatizzazioni dei boschi nell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale sarebbe accompagnata da effetti molto nocivi per l(cid:146)ambiente. In Ungheria, ad esempio, la privatizzazione di boschi avrebbe causato l(cid:146)abbattimento su larga scala degli stessi. I nuovi proprietari vendono quanto piu‘ rapidamente possibile il legno e non sono tenuti al rimboschimento. Anche in Romania si starebbe per assistere ad uno sviluppo simile, con tutti gli effetti nocivi per l(cid:146)ambiente che ne conseguono. 1. Puo‘ la Commissione confermare queste notizie comparse sulla stampa? Partecipa la Commissione, attraverso il programma PHARE o in altro modo, allo sfruttamento sostenibile 2. dei boschi nell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale e, segnatamente, nei due paesi soprammenzionati? 3. Qualora le notizie comparse sulla stampa rispondano a verita‘, e‘ la Commissione disposta ad adottare i provvedimenti necessari per far s(cid:14)‘ che i boschi dei paesi dell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale vengano sfruttati in modo sostenibile? 4. Puo‘ la Commissione far sapere quali provvedimenti concreti intende adottare? Risposta data dal Sig. Van den Broek a nome della Commissione (9 settembre 1997) La Commissione non e‘ in grado di confermare le affermazioni della stampa secondo cui la privatizzazione 1. sarebbe la causa del disboscamento in Ungheria e Romania. La Commissione ha contribuito in Polonia a un importante progetto riguardante la biodiversita‘ delle 2. foreste. Sono stati avviati di recente un progetto volto a fornire assistenza globale nel campo della gestione delle foreste, nonche· un progetto riguardante i parchi nazionali e naturali. In Ungheria e‘ stato finanziato, attraverso il programma Phare per l(cid:146)agricoltura, uno studio sulla situazione del settore forestale. Progetti in questo campo vengono sostenuti direttamente dal governo ungherese, il quale ha approvato il «Programma nazionale di rimboschimento» (decisione 3224/91 del governo), che si prefigge l(cid:146)ambizioso obiettivo di rimboscare 150 000 ettari di terreno entro il 2000. A tal fine, il governo ungherese ha erogato 1 miliardo di fiorini nel 1996, e ha stanziato 1,3 miliardi per il 1997. Il ministero dell(cid:146)agricoltura ha chiesto infine l(cid:146)assistenza Phare per tale programma. 3. La Commissione e‘ disposta a sostenere progetti a favore della gestione sostenibile delle foreste, ma la Comunita‘ non e‘ giuridicamente competente in materia nei paesi terzi, compresi quelli dell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale (PECO). A livello internazionale, si riscontra un(cid:146)efficiente cooperazione tra la Comunita‘ e i paesi dell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale nel settore forestale, soprattutto nell(cid:146)ambito della commissione per lo sviluppo sostenibile e del gruppo intergovernativo per la selvicoltura. I PECO sono formalmente associati alle dichiarazioni e alle posizioni della Comunita‘, hanno firmato le risoluzioni della Conferenza di Helsinki sulle foreste e partecipano a detto processo. Eventuali misure concrete potranno essere adottate in futuro soltanto su richiesta dei governi interessati 4. nell(cid:146)ambito del ravvicinamento delle politiche in campo ambientale.

Il 20 aprile scorso, la Commissione europea ha proposto di concedere un ulteriore contributo a tale Fondo per il 1998 e il 1999

Selonteon ehdotuksissa korostetaan ajatusta laatia yhdessa¤ nykyaikainen luettelo kansalaisvelvollisuuksista ja -oikeuksista seka¤ sosiaalisista velvollisuuksista ja oikeuksista.

Tunteeko komissio Oliva-Pegon suoalueen luonnonpuistohankkeen nykyisen tilanteen. Voiko se kertoa mika¤ on tilanne avustusten kohdalla, joita Valencian alueen paikallishallitus on anonut Euroopan yhteiso¤lta¤ rahoittaak- seen maanostot maanviljelijo¤ilta¤. Komission ja¤senen Ritt Bjerregaardin komission puolesta antama vastaus (12. syyskuuta 1997) Komissio tieta¤a¤ tapaukset, joita on sattunut Pego-Olivan suoalueella, silla¤ ta¤ma¤n alueen suojelu on yksi Life-Luonto -hankkeen (cid:148)Programma de acciones para la conservacio·n de humedales valencianos y creacio·n de a·reas de reserva para el samaruc (Valencia hispanica)(cid:148) tavoitteista. Ta¤ta¤ hanketta koskeva sopimus (B4- 3200/92/15183 ja B4-3200/95/525) tehtiin joulukuussa 1992 komission ja Valencian hallituksen va¤lilla¤. Komissio pyysi edunsaajaa toimittamaan sa¤a¤nno¤llisesti tietoja niista¤ toimista, joita on toteutettu ta¤ma¤n kosteikkoalueen suojelemiseksi tiettyjen maanviljelijo¤iden toimilta. Toteutetut toimet ovat seuraavat: (cid:150) Luonnonsuojelualueen johtaja esitti valituksen Pegon pormestaria vastaan (oletettu rikos luonnonvaroja ja ympa¤risto¤a¤ vastaan, vakava kuuliaisuusrikos ja laiton hallussapito) (cid:150) (cid:148)Consejer(cid:14)·a de medio ambiente(cid:148) antoi ma¤a¤ra¤yksen, joka pysa¤ytta¤a¤ kaiken toiminnan soilla.

(cid:150) Ta¤ma¤n kiellon vastaisista toimista on tehty ilmianto toimivaltaisessa kansallisessa tuomioistuimessa. Vuonna 1996 Valencian hallinto osti tai ryhtyi toimiin ostaakseen Pego-Olivan suolta 569 (cid:148)anegadas(cid:148) (noin 50 hehtaaria), joiden kokonaisarvo oli 111 miljoonaa pesetaa. Toimet vastaavanlaisen alan ostamiseksi vuonna 1997 ovat meneilla¤a¤n.

Kuitenkin on huomattava, etta¤ ta¤ma¤n oppilaitoksen takana ovat Bulgarian huomattavimmat virallisesti tunnustetut protestanttikirkot, etta¤ se rekistero¤itiin Sofiassa vuonna 1990 ja etta¤ se tarjoaa akateemista opetusta, joka on verrattavissa Sofian Pyha¤n Kliment Ohridskin valtionyliopiston teologisen tiedekunnan opetukseen.

Kommissionen har fremsendt sine bem(cid:230)rkninger herom til regionen Sicilien ved skrivelse af 15. marts 1996 og af 30. april 1996, i hvilke den bl. a. opfordrede de regionale myndigheder til at meddele Kommissionen, om de agtede at (cid:230)ndre eller oph(cid:230)ve den omhandlede lovgivning, s(cid:229)ledes at de p(cid:229)viste problemer med den manglende overensstemmelse kunne blive lłst. Imidlertid har regionen Sicilien aldrig givet udtryk for, at den havde til hensigt at (cid:230)ndre de p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende bestemmelser efter Kommissionens anvisninger, ogs(cid:229) selv om Kommissionen gentog sine betragtninger p(cid:229) det tosidede młde med de sicilianske myndigheder, der fandt sted i Bruxelles den 11. oktober 1996.

Hvad Gr(cid:230)kenland ang(cid:229)r, har Kommissionen aldrig godkendt en tilsvarende stłtte, som falder under anvendelsesomr(cid:229)det for artikel 12, stk. 4, i forordning (EF) nr. 950/97.

Denne kirke har siden 1964 fungeret som museum, hvor der var udstillet fund fra den romerske, byzantinske og osmanniske periode. Har Kommissionen kendskab til denne sag?

Risposta data dal sig. Kinnock a nome della Commissione (18 settembre 1997) 1. Il triangolo di emergenza per gli autoveicoli e‘ previsto in Belgio, Danimarca, Germania, Grecia, Lussemburgo, Paesi Bassi, Austria, Portogallo, Finlandia e Svezia. In Danimarca e nei Paesi Bassi non e‘ obbligatorio tenere tale dispositivo a bordo degli autoveicoli ma e‘ obbligatorio utilizzarlo in caso di avaria del veicolo. 2. L’obbligo di tener a bordo un estintore e‘ previsto in Belgio, Grecia e Portogallo. Per quanto consta alla Commissione, in nessuno Stato membro e‘ vietato il trasporto di una tanica di benzina 3. ermeticamente chiusa nel bagagliaio di un autoveicolo. Attualmente, la legislazione relativa a questi ed altri aspetti concernenti la sicurezza degli autoveicoli e‘ di competenza esclusiva degli Stati membri e non della Comunita‘.

text: 16. 4. 98 DE Amtsblatt der Europa¤ischen Gemeinschaften C 117/13 (98/C 117/16) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-2353/97 von Roberta Angelilli (NI) an die Kommission (10. Juli 1997) Betrifft: Rolle der Information bei der italienischen Friedensmission in Somalia Ku¤rzlich haben die italienischen Medien in gro(cid:223)er Aufmachung von einem Skandal berichtet im Zusammenhang mit angeblichen Folterungen und Schikanen, die italienische Milita¤rs der somalischen Zivilbevo¤lkerung wa¤hrend ihrer internationalen Friedensmission in Somalia (cid:132)Restore Hope(cid:147) zugefu¤gt ha¤tten. Sicherlich mu(cid:223) festgestellt werden, inwieweit gegebenenfalls individuelle Verantwortlichkeiten fu¤r Gewaltakte bestehen, die gegen den humanita¤ren Geist der Mission versto(cid:223)en, was auf dem u¤blichen Weg der Milita¤rgerichtsbarkeit zu geschehen hat. Die italienischen Medien haben die Angelegenheit allerdings mit einem U¤ berma(cid:223) an Sensationsmache behandelt, indem sie ha¤ufig nicht u¤berpru¤ften Aussagen u¤berma¤(cid:223)ige Bedeutung gaben und oft undifferenziert sa¤mtliche Teilnehmer an der humanita¤ren Mission in das einbezogen haben, was zu einer unannehmbaren Diffamierungskampagne gegenu¤ber den italienischen Streitkra¤ften werden kann. Diese Angelegenheit ist ein sehr gutes Beispiel fu¤r die zentrale Rolle der Medien in der modernen Gesellschaft: man hatte den Eindruck, da(cid:223) sich von einem Tag zum anderen eine Friedensmission in eine endlose Serie von Folter und Mi(cid:223)handlungen verwandelt habe. All dies verlangt ein Nachdenken u¤ber die Rolle der Medien: ohne die Freiheit der Berichterstattung anzutasten, mu(cid:223) auch nach Instrumenten gesucht werden, die das Recht der O¤ ffentlichkeit auf eine korrekte, unparteiische Information, die frei von Sensationsmache und mo¤glichen Instrumentalisierungen ist, gewa¤hrleistet, und zwar bei Fragen von nationalem Interesse ebenso wie bei Fragen, die einzelne Personen betreffen. Eine U¤ berlegung, bei der der Schwerpunkt auch auf die Notwendigkeit zu legen ist, jedem das Recht zu gewa¤hrleisten, nicht in der O¤ ffentlichkeit oder im Fernsehen an den Pranger gestellt zu werden. Aufgrund dessen werden an die Kommission die folgenden Fragen gerichtet: 1. Wie beurteilt sie die Angelegenheit? 2. Sind auf europa¤ischer Ebene U¤ berlegungen u¤ber den moralisch einwandfreien Charakter und die Korrektheit der Information im Gange, und wenn ja, mit welchen praktischen Ergebnissen? Antwort von Herrn Pinheiro im Namen der Kommission (24. Oktober 1997) Die Kommission hat die Pressemeldungen verfolgt, nach denen italienische Truppen die somalische Zivilbevo¤lkerung im Rahmen der UN-Mission (cid:132)Restore Hope(cid:147) schlecht behandelt haben sollen. Die Kommission ist der Meinung, da(cid:223) diese Gewaltakte, falls sie sich als wahr erweisen solten, zu verurteilen sind. Das sollte aber nicht dazu fu¤hren, die positiven Ergebnisse der UN-Mission und die wesentliche Rolle zu vergessen, die die Union und die Truppen der an der Mission beteiligten La¤nder dabei gespielt haben. (98/C 117/17) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-2358/97 von Undine-Uta Bloch von Blottnitz (V) an die Kommission (10. Juli 1997) Betrifft: Vollzugsdefizit der EU-Artenschutzverordnung 338/97 in Deutschland Am 1. Juni 1997 ist die neue EU-Artenschutzverordnung 338/97 (1) in Kraft getreten. In Art. 16 der Verordnung werden die Mitgliedstaaten aufgefordert, Strafvorschriften sowie Beschlagnahme- und Einziehungsmo¤glichkei- ten bei Versto¤(cid:223)en gegen die neue Verordnung einzufu¤hren. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland hat dies aber bisher versa¤umt, obwohl sie hinreichend Zeit und von dem Inkrafttreten der Verordnung fru¤hzeitig Kenntnis hatte. Deshalb ko¤nnen von der EU als besonders schutzwu¤rdig erkannte Tier- und Pflanzenarten nunmehr sanktionslos ein- und ausgefu¤hrt werden. Entgegen den Forderungen der Verordnung bleiben ferner sanktionslos: Kauf, Angebot zum Kauf, Erwerb zu kommerziellen Zwecken, Zurschaustellung und Verwendung zu kommerziellen Zwecken sowie Verkauf, Vorra¤tighalten, Anbieten und Befo¤rdern zu Verkaufszwecken von den in den Anha¤ngen A und B der Verordnung aufgelisteten Arten.

text: C 117/16 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 4. 98 (98/C 117/19) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2380/97 by Evelyne Gebhardt (PSE) to the Commission (10 July 1997) Subject: Assistance for the Lake Constance region Can the Commission say how much assistance the Lake Constance region (Landkreis Konstanz, Landkreis Bodenseekreis, Lindau-Bodensee, Land Vorarlberg) has received from the European Union since 1990? Supplementary answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (24 November 1997) In view of the length of its answer, the Commission is sending it direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat. (98/C 117/20) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2395/97 by Carmen Fraga Este·vez (PPE) to the Commission (10 July 1997) Subject: Ban on the transhipment of swordfish catches by the Community fleet in Chilean ports Since 1990 Chile has been banning the transhipment of swordfish caught outside its waters by the Community fleet, which constitutes a violation of GATT Article V. 1 concerning (cid:145)freedom of transit(cid:146). The ban is based on the request for a health certificate, which is unjustified for merchandise in transit and in practice is equivalent to preventing transhipments, thereby violating the freedom of transit established by the afore-mentioned Article V of GATT. In her answer to Question H-0320/96 (1) on the same subject Commissioner Bonino said that the problem could be settled under Article 30 of the EU/Chile Cooperation Agreement and that otherwise Article V of GATT would be the only possible solution. Can the Commission therefore say when it intends to call for the application of Article V of GATT to solve this problem? (1) Debates of the European Parliament (May 1996). Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission (20 October 1997) Article 30 of the new Cooperation Agreement with Chile signed on 21 June 1996 provides for cooperation on fishing matters, including resource conservation. On the disagreement to which the Honourable Member refers over landing of swordfish caught by Community vessels outside the Chilean exclusive economic zone the Commission has ascertained Member States’ positions through the appropriate channels and agreed with Chile on the need for an initial exchange of information on this fishery and the state of stocks, with the ultimate aim of establishing technical and scientific cooperation in this area. Owing to lack of available information no progress has so far been made. However, given that cooperation ought to facilitate the adoption of a mutually satisfactory solution to the present difficulty, both parties are at the moment completing collection of the necessary information with a view to opening technical discussions in the very near future

text: C 76/98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 11. 3. 98 Joint answer to Written Questions P-2334/97, P-2369/97, E-2389/97, E-2390/97, E-2391/97 and E-2392/97 given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission (29 July 1997) Under Article 9 § 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), Member States inform the Commission each year of the criteria they have adopted for distribution and of the detailed rules for the use of the fishing availabilities allocated to them, in accordance with Community law and the common fisheries policy. Therefore, Member States are competent for the adoption of licensing conditions, in so far as these conditions are not governed by Community law, but in the exercise of their competence they have to respect Community law and to inform the Commission. In this framework the Commission is empowered to take a position on the compatibility of proposed national measures with Community law and to convey its opinion to each Member State which requests confirmation of such compatibility by the Commission. The Court of justice has accepted that the aim of the quota system may in fact justify conditions designed to ensure that there is a real economic link between the vessel and the Member State in question if the purpose of such conditions is that the populations dependent on fisheries and related industries should benefit from the quotas. The United Kingdom, like the other Member States, is competent to adopt measures to ensure the existence of a real economic link with the fishing vessel flying its flag. The United Kingdom asked for confirmation whether certain measures could be compatible with Community law. The President of the Commission replied in his letter to Mr Blair, that the requirements proposed could be compatible with Community law if they are non-discriminatory, proportionate to their aim and alternative, offering the fishing operators the option to comply with one or more of these requirements or possible other elements, to prove the existence of an economic link with the flag state. The exchange of letters with Mr Blair was preceded by technical discussions between the British authorities and the Commission, and the Spanish authorities were informed of their outcome in a timely manner. In any case, the Commission will scrutinise any specific measure that the United Kingdom may decide to enact regarding the allocation of quotas, as it has done before and will continue to do with respect to all Member States(cid:146) legislation, as guardian of the treaties.

text: 17. 3. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 82/65 As part of the Community(cid:146)s regional policy, there are also a certain number of aid schemes aimed at small enterprises and craft enterprises, provided that these are located in regions which are eligible for regional development funds. (1) Doc COM(96) 591. (98/C 82/112) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2372/97 by Patricia McKenna (V) to the Commission (10 July 1997) Subject: Proposals for an EU ban on hormone-treated meat The European Farmers(cid:146) Coordination (EFC) has called on the EU to ban hormone-treated meat and campaign for an international ban. The World Trade Organization is currently dealing with this issue and an international arbitration panel has been set up because of differences of opinion between the EU and the US. According to the EFC, (cid:145)neither farmers nor consumers need hormones and the principle of long-term health precaution must prevail(cid:146). Because recent policy statements from the Commission have indicated that it too believes in the principle of long-term health precaution, will it work for a ban on hormone-treated meat both in the EU and internationally? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (4 September 1997) The Commission is aware that the European farmers(cid:146)co-ordination is in favour of the maintenance of the ban on hormone treated meat, both in the Community and for its import from third countries. In the context of the World trade organization (WTO) panel on hormones in Geneva, the Commission invoked the precautionary principle in support of its claims, and defended the position that the Community(cid:146)s right to decide what level of sanitary protection it deems appropriate for its citizen should be fully recognised by the Sanitary and phytosanitary agreement. The Honourable Member may rest assured that the Commission will use all the legal means at its disposal in the appeals procedure at the WTO to defend the present Community legislation. (98/C 82/113) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2373/97 by Juan Colino Salamanca (PSE) to the Commission (10 July 1997) Subject: Aid to the table olive sector The table olive sector is at present going through a serious crisis. The high costs of this product › which, apart from promotional measures, is not the subject of Community aid › cause prices to rise, which in turn leads to a fall in consumption and a loss of competitiveness for Community production compared with third countries. The Commission options paper on the reform of the olive oil sector COM(97) 57 final mentions the seriousness of the situation the what the sector expects from the reform. Does the Commission intend to take steps to ensure the survival of this truly European product? Has it considered the possibility of granting a specific form of aid, as requested by producers, which does not come into conflict with the olive oil sector?

Bonino en nombre de la Comisio·n (29 de julio de 1997) En virtud del apartado 2 del art(cid:14)·culo 9 del Reglamento (CEE) no 3760/92 del Consejo, por el que se establece un re·gimen comunitario de la pesca y la acuicultura (1), los Estados miembros deben informar anualmente a la Comisio·n de los criterios que hayan adoptado para la distribucio·n y las normas detalladas de utilizacio·n de las disponibilidades pesqueras que se les hayan asignado, de conformidad con la legislacio·n comunitaria y la pol(cid:14)·tica pesquera comu·n. Por consiguiente, los Estados miembros tiene competencias para adoptar las condiciones de expedicio·n de licencias, siempre y cuando tales condiciones no este·n reguladas por la normativa comunitaria, aunque en el ejercicio de esas competencias deben respetar la legislacio·n comunitaria e informar a la Comisio·n. En este contexto, la Comisio·n esta· facultada para tomar posicio·n sobre la compatibilidad con la legislacio·n comunitaria de las medidas nacionales propuestas y para comunicar su opinio·n a todo Estado miembro que le pida confirmacio·n de la compatibilidad de esas medidas. El Tribunal de Justicia ha aceptado que la finalidad del sistema de cuotas puede justificar que se establezcan condiciones que garanticen la existencia de un v(cid:14)·nculo econo·mico real entre el buque y el Estado miembro si el propo·sito de esas condiciones es que la poblaciones dependientes de la pesca y las industrias conexas se beneficien de las cuotas. El Reino Unido tiene competencias, al igual que los dema·s Estados miembros, para adoptar medidas que garanticen la existencia de un v(cid:14)·nculo econo·mico real con los buques que enarbolen su pabello·n. El Reino Unido pregunto· si ciertas medidas eran compatibles con la legislacio·n comunitaria. El Presidente de la Comisio·n informo· en su carta al Sr. Blair de que las normas propuestas ser(cid:14)·an compatibles con la legislacio·n comunitaria siempre y cuando no fueran discriminatorias, fueran proporcionadas con respecto a su objetivo y alternativas, es decir, que dieran a los agentes econo·micos la posibilidad de ajustarse a uno o ma·s de estos requisitos o a otros elementos posibles para demostrar la existencia de un v(cid:14)·nculo econo·mico con el Estado del pabello·n. El intercambio de cartas con el Sr. Blair fue precedido por discusiones te·cnicas entre las autoridades brita·nicas y la Comisio·n de cuyos resultados fueron informadas oportunamente las autoridades espan(cid:152)olas. En cualquier caso, la Comisio·n analizara· a fondo cualquier medida espec(cid:14)·fica que adopte el Reino Unido en relacio·n con la asignacio·n de cuotas, tal como ha venido haciendo y seguira· haciendo con la normativa de todos los Estados miembros en su calidad de guardiana de los Tratados. La Comisio·n so·lo aceptara· la compatibilidad con la legislacio·n comunitaria de cualesquiera medidas definitivas si e·stas no son discriminatorias, son proporcionadas y alternativas y concuerdan enteramente con la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia, teniendo en cuenta, como es su deber, los intereses leg(cid:14)·timos de todos los Estados miembros.

Is de Commissie niet van oordeel dat er na vier jaar reeds een richtlijn zou moeten zijn, die gezien de normale omzettingstermijn voor richtlijnen in de meeste lidstaten reeds zou zijn omgezet?

Maar al te vaak kunnen zij niet legaal als paar door het leven gaan noch in aanmerking komen voor de rechten en plichten die het huwelijk met zich meebrengt. Verenigingen in heel Europa eisen een waarachtig Europees burgerschap voor homoseksuelen alsook de invoering van wetgeving die samenleving mogelijk maakt tussen twee personen van hetzelfde geslacht en tussen twee mensen die een dergelijke speciale relatie wensen aan te gaan. Kan de Commissie de instanties van de Europese Unie voorstellen doen voor invoering in de vijftien lidstaten van een civielrechtelijk samenlevingscontract en van wetgeving waarmee een einde wordt gemaakt aan de nog steeds bestaande discriminatie van homoseksuelen, een en ander overeenkomstig de voorstellen uit het verslag-Roth (A3-0028/94 (1))?

Gecombineerd Antwoord op de schritftelijke vragen E-2307/97, E-2407/97 en E-2435/97 van de heer Flynn namens de Commissie (9 september 1997) De Commissie herinnert de geachte afgevaardigden eraan dat op het moment dat het Verslag-Roth werd goedgekeurd (februari 1994), de Gemeenschapsverdragen de instellingen geen specifieke bevoegdheden verleenden om op te treden tegen discriminatie op grond van seksuele geaardheid. Het ontwerp van het Verdrag van Amsterdam heeft een nieuwe juridische basis ingevoerd (nieuw artikel 6A in het EG-Verdrag), die het onder andere mogelijk maakt communautaire maatregelen te nemen ter bestrijding van discriminatie op basis van seksuele geaardheid

text: COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES **it it it it it** it it it Brussels, 10. 07. 1997 COM(97) 360 final 97/0196 (CNS) Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) derogating from certain provisions in Regulation (EK ) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM To qualify for compensatory payments under the reform of the common agricultural policy for arable crops, producers participating in the general scheme have to freeze a percentage of their arable land to achieve a balance between Community production and forecast outlets. Small-scale producers may however opt for a simplified scheme exempt from the set-aside requirement. The set-aside rate for the 1997 harvest was fixed at 5% by way of derogation from the basic rate set by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 at 17,5%. At present, the level of stocks on the world market is low, principally because of unfavourable weather conditions which affected the 1994 and the 1995 cereal harvest in the main producing countries. The 1996 harvest has been sufficient only to partly reconstitute stocks. In 1996 Community production reached a record level because of exceptional yields. This did not lead to the substantial increase in intervention stocks expected at the beginning of the marketing year because of a new substantial increase in Community consumption and the fact that exports were maintained at a good rate. Production potential needs to be maintained in order to provide security against arable production problems which can be caused by weather conditions, but the objective of controlling production must not be undermined by the reconstitution of excessive public stocks and must not create problems in seeking alternative outlets for arable crops in the industrial sector. In accordance with the compromise reached at the Council for agriculture on June 1997, the proposed regulation would maintain the 5 % set-aside rate for crops sown for the 1998/99 marketing year. Fixing this level at 5 % also makes it necessary to maintain the increase in the set-aside percentage to be made in the case of transfer at 1 %. In the interest of consistency, the Commission also considers it appropriate to extend the suspension of the special set-aside for a further marketing year. Furthermore, it proposes that in the interest of equal treatment and as a corollary to the continued suspension of special set- aside, the penalties applicable for exceeding "irrigated" ceilings should be made less severe. 2. Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) No. /97 of 1997 derogating from certain provisions in Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament1, Whereas the support system for producers of certain arable crops established by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/922 provides that, in order to qualify for compensatory payments under the general scheme, producers must set aside a predetermined percentage of their arable land; whereas this percentage is to be reviewed to take account of production and market developments; Whereas, since the introduction of this system, the cereals market has achieved a better balance as a result of an increase in Community consumption; whereas this situation, together with the very low level of stocks and firm prices on the world market has also resulted in a significant reduction in public stocks and firm prices for cereals on the Community market; 1 Opinion given on 2 OJ No L 181, 1. 7. 1992, p. 12. Regulation last amended by Regulation (EC) No 922/97 (OJ No L 133, 24. 5. 1997, p. 1). 3 Whereas, in the light of the present market situation for cereals and to avoid jeopardizing the Community's presence on the world market, the rate for set-aside beginning not later than 15 January 1998 should therefore be set for the 1998/99 marketing year at the same level as for the 1997/98 marketing year and the application of special set-aside should be suspended where the base area under the 1997/98 marketing year is exceeded; whereas, as a corollary to this provision, the level of the penalty for exceeding an "irrigated" ceiling should be made less severe; Whereas in the event of a transfer of the set-aside requirement, the basic 17,5% set-aside rate is increased by 3 % ; whereas this increase should be adjusted in order to maintain a similar ratio between the basic rate and the percentage increase due on transfer, following the drop in the basic rate; whereas, in the event of a transfer of the set aside requirement to areas which are sensitive from an environmental point of view, it is appropriate not to apply the abovementioned increase, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 For the 1998/99 marketing year, notwithstanding Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92: - the set-aside requirement referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article shall be set at 5 %, - the increase referred to in the second indent of paragraph 7 of that Article shall be set at 1 percentage point. However, no increase shall apply to transfers executed to a particular area where environment objectives are achieved. Article 2 Should the base area under the 1997/98 marketing year be exceeded, the special set-aside referred to in the second indent of Article 2(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 shall not apply. Article 3 For the 1997/98 marketing year, notwithstanding the sixth subparagraph of Article 3(1), of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, where an "irrigated" ceiling is exceeded, the compensatory payment for the "irrigated" rate shall in all cases be reduced proportionally to the rate of the overshoot recorded. Article 4 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

YES/NO CAN THE PROJECT BE FINANCED BY TRANSFER BETWEEN CHAPTERS OF THE CURRENT YES/NO BUDGET? IS A SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET NECESSARY? WILL FUTURE BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS BE NECESSARY? Y-ES/NO YES/NO OBSERVATIONS: The main aim of the measure is to prolong the rate of compulsory set-aside (including the increase applied to transfers) at the level of that on which the assumptions used in the 1998 preliminary draft budget were based and to suspend the rate of exceptional set-aside for 1997/98. The measure has no new financial implications for the 1999 budget as against the 1998 budget year and has no implications for the 1998 budget. The reduction in the penalty in the event of an overrun of irrigated areas has no budgetary implications as against the assumptions used for 1998. It should be noted that in view of the level of consumption of cereals now being recorded and the likely yield levels, the market is expected to be in balance for the 1998/99 marketing year assuming that exports reach the maximum level authorized under the Uruguay Round.

Risposta complementare data dal sig. Santer a nome della Commissione (24 novembre 1997) A causa dell(cid:146)ampiezza della risposta, la Commissione trasmette il testo direttamente all(cid:146)Onorevole Parlamentare ed al Segretariato generale del Parlamento. (98/C 117/20) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2395/97 di Carmen Fraga Este·vez (PPE) alla Commissione (10 luglio 1997) Oggetto: Divieto di trasbordo di pesce spada nei porti cileni per la flotta comunitaria E(cid:146) dall(cid:146)anno 1990 che il Cile impedisce alla flotta comunitaria il trasbordo di pesce spada pescato al di fuori delle sue acque territoriali. Questo atteggiamento costituisce una volazione dell(cid:146)articolo V. 1 del GATT concernente la liberta‘ di transito. Il rifiuto e‘ motivato con la richiesta di un certificato sanitario, che non e‘ giustificata in quanto si tratta di una merce in transito; cio‘ equivale in pratica a vietare il trasbordo, violando cos(cid:14)‘ la liberta‘ di transito prevista dal suddetto articolo V. 1 del GATT. Nella risposta all(cid:146)interrogazione H-0320/96 (1) su questo stesso argomento, il Commissario Bonino ha indicato che tale problema avrebbe potuto trovare soluzione in base all(cid:146)articolo 30 dell(cid:146)Accordo di cooperazione UE/Cile e che in caso contrario l(cid:146)unica soluzione possibile sarebbe il ricorso all(cid:146)articolo V. 1 del GATT. Si chiede pertanto alla Commissione quando intende sollecitare il ricorso all(cid:146)articolo V. 1 del GATT per risolvere questa controversia? (1) Discussioni del Parlamento europeo del maggio 1996. Risposta data dalla sig. ra Bonino a nome della Commissione (20 ottobre 1997) Il nuovo accordo di cooperazione tra la Comunita‘ e il Cile, firmato il 21 giugno 1996, prevede all’articolo 30 la possibilita‘ per i due firmatari di attuare azioni di cooperazione nel settore della pesca marittima, anche per quanto riguarda la conservazione delle risorse. In merito alla controversia segnalata dall’onorevole parlamentare, concernente lo sbarco delle catture di pesce spada effettuate dalla flotta comunitaria al di fuori della zona economica esclusiva (ZEE) cilena, la Commissione, dopo aver verificato nelle sedi opportune la posizione degli Stati membri, ha stabilito con il Cile che occorre anzitutto procedere a scambi d’informazioni su tale tipo di pesca e sulla situazione degli stock, con l’obiettivo finale di istituire un sistema di cooperazione tecnico-scientifica in detto settore. A livello di cooperazione non vi sono stati sviluppi a causa delle insufficienti informazioni disponibili. Tuttavia, dato che la cooperazione dovrebbe facilitare l’adozione di una soluzione dell’attuale problema che risulti soddisfacente per entrambe, le parti interessate stanno ora completando la raccolta dei dati necessari per avviare, in un prossimo futuro, un dibattito tecnico in materia
