text: 11. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 46/5 TRANSLATION CENTRE FOR THE BODIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION RULES FOR ACCESS TO TRANSLATION CENTRE DOCUMENTS (98/C 46/07) The Management Board of the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union adopted the following rules for access to Translation Centre documents at its seventh meeting on 17 November 1997. 1. (cid:217)Introduction The Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union was established by Council Regulation (EC) No 2965/94 (OJ L(cid:216)314, 7. 12. 1994), as amended by Regu(cid:220) lation (EC) No 2610/95 (OJ L(cid:216)268, 10. 11. 1995) to provide the the necessary operation of the following bodies: translation services for produced by other institutions and bodies of the Union. Consequently two types of document are identified: (a)(cid:217)documents not originating at the Translation Centre but rather received from another body or institution. For access to this type of document, the person seeking information must always be referred to its author, for the original as well as for the translated versions; (b) documents originating within the Tranlation Centre: for this type of document, the following rules shall apply. -(cid:217)the European Environment Agency, 3. (cid:217)Translation Centre documents -(cid:217)the European Training Foundation, -(cid:217)the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, -(cid:217)the European Agency Medicinal Products, for the Evaluation of -(cid:217)the European Agency for Health and Safety at Work, -(cid:217)the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (trade marks and designs), -(cid:217)the European Police Office (Europol) and the Europol Drugs Unit, -(cid:217)the Community Plant Variety Office. Agencies and offices set up by the Council other than those referred to above, and the institutions and bodies of the European Union which already have their own translation service may have access to the services of the Translation Centre. These are documents originating within the Translation Centre, of which the Centre can be considered to be the owner and not merely a depositary. The general rule for these documents is that access should be granted to applicants unless they contain information falling within one or more of the categories listed under point 4. To obtain access to a document or information of the Translation Centre, the applicant must submit a request in writing in any language of the European Union to the Director of the Centre, who is responsible for handling such requests. The Director shall give a written reply within one month of registering receipt of the request; this reply shall always be in the working language used by the applicant. The documents requested shall either be sent by post to the applicant, or made available on appointment for consultation on the premises of the Centre. 4. (cid:217)Exceptions 2. (cid:217)Types of document Access shall not be granted to documents disclosure could undermine: if their The task of the Translation Centre being thus defined, it is clear that the Centre’s role is not to take political the documents initiatives but merely translate to -(cid:217)protection of the public international proceedings, inspections or investigations), relations, monetary interest (public securtiy, stability, court C 46/6 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 11. 2. 98 -(cid:217)protection of the individual and privacy (personal files; information, opinions or appraisals given confi(cid:220) dentially with regard to recruitment or appointments; personal information on any individual, including a deceased person, or a document the disclosure of which might undermine or contribute to the under(cid:220) mining of privacy), -(cid:217)protection of commercial and industrial secrecy (information, including confidential or secret matter relating to trade or intellectual property, the unauth(cid:220) orised disclosure of which could harm the competi(cid:220) tiveness of a third party; industrial, financial and trade information, including information on business relations, information on costs and tenders submitted in response to invitations to tender), -(cid:217)protection of the Community’s financial interests, -(cid:217)protection of confidentiality as requested by the natural or legal person that supplied the information or as required by the legislation of the Member State that supplied the information, notes, memos, briefing notes; and internal documents bearing the opinions of the Translation Centre’s services). 5. (cid:217)Review procedure If an applicant has not received a reply from the Trans(cid:220) lation Centre within a month from registration of receipt of the request for access, or if the applicant is not satisfied with a reply denying access, he or she shall have one month from the date the reply is received to write to the Chairperson the Translation Centre’s Management Board, confirming the original request and asking for a review. If a review is not requested within this period, the initial request shall be considered to be withdrawn. of If the denial of access is confirmed after the review of the application, the applicant shall be informed in writing and within one month. The Tanslation Centre shall give reasons for its decision and indicate the means of redress available, in particular the possibility of referral to the European Ombudsman. 6. (cid:217)Miscellaneous -(cid:217)protection of the confidential nature of the Trans(cid:220) lation Centre’s internal discussions (agendas for and minutes of Management Board meetings and internal meetings, mission reports, progress reports, study For any other question concerning access to Translation Centre documents not explicitly covered by these rules, the standards in force at the European Commission shall apply by analogy to the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union

A decisa(cid:152)o e· particularmente desconcertante porque, ao proibir a inscri(cid:231)a(cid:152)o de estrangeiros nos va·rios clubes, os impede de praticar esse desporto. Dois jovens italianos, os irma(cid:152)os Ermanno e Emanuele Agostini, ja· campeo(cid:152)es nacionais belgas entre 1984 e 1994, sa(cid:152)o os primeiros afectados pela exclusa(cid:152)o praticada na pessoa de cidada(cid:152)os estrangeiros pela liga belga de judo. Pode a Comissa(cid:152)o intervir, o mais rapidamente poss(cid:14)·vel, junto das autoridades belgas a fim de salvaguardar os direitos adquiridos dos cidada(cid:152)os da UE e defender os princ(cid:14)·pios democra·ticos de igualdade? Podera· a Comissa(cid:152)o elaborar uma directiva que condene o racismo praticado pelas autoridades desportivas belgas na sua decisa(cid:152)o de excluir os cidada(cid:152)os estrangeiros na(cid:152)o so· das competi(cid:231)o(cid:152)es como inclusivamente da pra·tica do judo?

Resposta dada por P. Flynn em nome da Comissa(cid:152)o (15 de Dezembro de 1997) A exclusa(cid:152)o dos cidada(cid:152)os comunita·rios da liga belga franco·fona de judo pode ser contra·ria ao direito comunita·rio a va·rios t(cid:14)·tulos. No que respeita aos trabalhadores comunita·rios que exercem uma actividade profissional assalariada no territo·rio belga, o acesso aos clubes de judo e a‘ liga de judo constitui um benef(cid:14)·cio social a t(cid:14)·tulo do artigo 7o, no 2 do Regulamento (CEE) no 1612/68 do Conselho, de 15 de Outubro de 1968, relativo a‘ livre circula(cid:231)a(cid:152)o dos trabalhadores no interior da Comunidade (1). Este benef(cid:14)·cio deve ser reconhecido na(cid:152)o apenas aos trabalhadores, mas tambe·m aos membros da sua fam(cid:14)·lia. Por outro lado, no caso de a participa(cid:231)a(cid:152)o na liga franco·fona de judo constituir uma actividade econo·mica, a exclusa(cid:152)o dos cidada(cid:152)os comunita·rios dos clubes de judo e, por conseque(cid:136)ncia, da liga, constitui um obsta·culo a‘ liberdade de estabelecimento.

Todavia, a Comissa(cid:152)o faz notar que os artigos 48o e 52o do Tratado CE, bem como o Regulamento (CEE) no 1612/68 sa(cid:152)o directamente aplica·veis nos tribunais nacionais, podendo ser invocados para a defesa dos direitos que o Tratado concede aos particulares.

(98/C 158/212) PERGUNTA ESCRITA E-3589/97 apresentada por Jaime Valdivielso de Cue· (PPE) ao Conselho (17 de Novembro de 1997) Objecto: Distribui(cid:231)a(cid:152)o eficaz de produtos apreendidos por fraude comunita·ria A t(cid:14)·tulo da aplica(cid:231)a(cid:152)o do regulamento sobre a protec(cid:231)a(cid:152)o de marcas e os direitos de propriedade intelectual realizaram-se controlos aduaneiros que permitiram detectar mais de 1. 500 casos litigiosos, tendo-se verificado infrac(cid:231)o(cid:152)es em quase todos os Estados-membros. Apo·s a sua apreensa(cid:152)o, verificou-se um vazio sobre o destino a reservar aos referidos produtos. De momento, a solu(cid:231)a(cid:152)o retida e· a sua destrui(cid:231)a(cid:152)o sistema·tica, ta(cid:152)o onerosa como ineficaz. Existem exemplos pate·ticos, como a destrui(cid:231)a(cid:152)o de artigos te(cid:136)xteis com elevados custos econo·micos e ambientais. Ora, num outro dom(cid:14)·nio, existe ja· um precedente deveras consolidado: a Unia(cid:152)o Europeia aproveita os produtos agr(cid:14)·colas retirados do mercado, distribuindo-os gratuitamente a organiza(cid:231)o(cid:152)es de benefice(cid:136)ncia. A UE exige simplesmente que este organismos tenham assinado acordos de coopera(cid:231)a(cid:152)o com o Fundo Europeu de Garantia Agr(cid:14)·cola (FEOGA). Na(cid:152)o poderia o Conselho prever a possibilidade de criar um sistema semelhante para o aproveitamento dos produtos apreendidos por fraude? Em Espanha, foram apreendidos milhares de artigos te(cid:136)xteis. Na(cid:152)o seria poss(cid:14)·vel conceber um sistema em que tais artigos fossem doados a institui(cid:231)o(cid:152)es humanita·rias e de benefice(cid:136)ncia, como a Caritas ou a Cruz Vermelha, que assinariam acordos semelhantes aos do FEOGA?

text: 16. 6. 98 ES Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas C 187/49 (98/C 187/78) PREGUNTA ESCRITA P-3755/97 de Cristiana Muscardini (NI) al Consejo (17 de noviembre de 1997) Asunto: Los kurdos y el asilo pol(cid:14)·tico Los kurdos no son ni bandidos ni clandestinos, y los pro·fugos que esta·n llegando a Italia, en particular los kurdos, plantean problemas internacionales de asilo pol(cid:14)·tico. No hay que olvidar que estos hombres, combatidos y perseguidos en una guerra oculta, que lamentablemente no conmueve al mundo, esta·n oprimidos, a menudo de manera cruenta, y no hallan paz ni en los territorios bajo dominio iraqu(cid:14)· ni en los que esta·n bajo dominio iran(cid:14)·, sirio o turco. Es necesario otorgar a los kurdos el estatuto de refugiados. Lamentablemente, ningu·n organismo internacional se decide a dar el primer paso, ni tan siquiera en el plano humanitario. Consideramos que Europa debe ponerse en primer plano para cancelar esta vergu¤enza. Europa debe empezar a plantearse el significado, en la civilizacio·n actual, de conceptos tales como asilo pol(cid:14)·tico, acogida y posibilidad de trabajo en los pa(cid:14)·ses de la Unio·n Europea. Considerando que, como consecuencia de los Acuerdos de Schengen, ya no puede considerarse a la Apulia como una frontera italiana, sino como una frontera europea, ¿Puede el Consejo tratar con suma urgencia el terrible problema de los kurdos a escala europea, en colaboracio·n con el Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas? Se sen(cid:152)ala que, si se ignora el «problema kurdo» se corre el riesgo de una fuga hacia otros pa(cid:14)·ses europeos o de que estalle un peligroso conflicto armado incontrolable y de dimensiones catastro·ficas.

(98/C 187/80) PREGUNTA ESCRITA P-0109/98 de Guido Viceconte (UPE) al Consejo (23 de enero de 1998) Asunto: E· xodo de pro·fugos en las costas del sudeste de la Unio·n Europea En los u·ltimos meses las costas mediterra·neas de la Unio·n han sido invadidas por miles de pro·fugos procedentes de Albania y de Turqu(cid:14)·a. Las autoridades italianas han dispuesto los medios necesarios para la acogida temporal y para el examen de las posibles solicitudes de asilo, en el respeto de las normas de Schengen. Segu·n quedo· aclarado en la reciente reunio·n te·cnica de los jefes de polic(cid:14)·a, celebrada en Roma, en el futuro el feno·meno se agravara·, vistas las diferentes tendencias demogra·ficas y econo·micas de los pa(cid:14)·ses que gravitan en torno a la regio·n mediterra·nea del sudeste. El significado pol(cid:14)·tico, la dimensio·n supranacional, el papel de las redes de la delincuencia organizada, la agravacio·n futura de la situacio·n, requieren una intervencio·n urgente y unitaria de la Unio·n Europea para organizar una respuesta adecuada y unitaria en el territorio de la Unio·n y para el establecimiento de una pol(cid:14)·tica destinada a solucionar in situ las causas pol(cid:14)·ticas y socioecono·micas del feno·meno

text: C 174/120 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen 8. 6. 98 Antwoord van de heer Van den Broek namens de Commissie (10 december 1997) Het toekennen van de status van vluchteling aan asielzoekers in de lidstaten behoort tot de bevoegdheid van de lidstaten. Een gemeenschappelijk standpunt inzake de geharmoniseerde toepassing van de definitie van de term (cid:132)vluchteling(cid:148) in artikel 1 van het Verdrag van Gene‘ve van 28 juli 1951 (1), waar de Commissie het geachte Parlementslid naar moge verwijzen, is echter goedgekeurd in het kader van de samenwerking op het gebied van Justitie en Binnenlandse Zaken krachtens Titel VI van het Verdrag betreffende de Europese Unie. Het probleem van mensen die Irak ontvluchten werd ter sprake gebracht in de Raad Algemene Zaken op 6 oktober 1997, alsook op een vergadering van de ministers van Justitie en Binnenlandse Zaken in Mondorf op 9 en 10 oktober 1997. Deze kwestie wordt momenteel bestudeerd door de terzake bevoegde groepen van de Raad. (1) Gemeenschappelijk standpunt van 4 maart 1996 door de Raad vastgesteld op grond van artikel K. 3 van het Verdrag betreffende de Europese Unie inzake de geharmoniseerde toepassing van de definitie van de term (cid:132)vluchteling(cid:148) in artikel 1 van het Verdrag van Gene‘ve van 28 juli 1951 betreffende de status van vluchtelingen (PB L 63 van 13. 3. 1996). (98/C 174/184) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG P-3757/97 van John Iversen (PSE) aan de Commissie (17 november 1997) Betreft: Premie voor vroegtijdig op de markt brengen Bij de vaststelling van het maximale gewicht om in aanmerking te komen voor een premie voor het vroegtijdig op de markt brengen van kalveren is er voor Nederland en Belgie¤ een slachtgewicht toegepast van meer dan 160 kg per kalf. De definitie van een kalf luidt: een dier met een slachtgewicht van minder dan 160 kg. Rekenkundig is het onmogelijk een gemiddelde te krijgen dat boven de maximale grens van een groep ligt. Hoe kan de Commissie rechtvaardigen dat zij een gewicht van Eurostat toepast dat gebaseerd is op een 1. onjuist gebruik van de definitie van een kalf? 2. Acht de Commissie het niet noodzakelijk deze fout te herstellen, gezien het feit dat hij tot een concurrentievervalsing leidt die weer tot gevolg heeft dat jaarlijks ca. 60. 000 zoogkalveren van Denemarken naar Nederland worden vervoerd onder dieronwaardige omstandigheden vanwege de onvastheid op de poten van de pasgeboren kalveren? Antwoord van de heer Fischler namens de Commissie (9 december 1997) De definitie van het begrip (cid:132)kalf(cid:148) voor statistische doeleinden wordt gegeven in Beschikking 94/433/EG van de Commissie van 30 mei 1994 houdende toepassingsbepalingen van Richtlijn 93/24/EEG van de Raad wat de statistische enque(cid:136)tes naar de rundveestapel en naar de productie van rundvee betreft en tot wijziging van die richtlijn (1). In die definitie is sprake van een levend gewicht van 300 kg of minder. Het slachtgewicht van goed tot uitstekend bevleesde slachtkalveren bedraagt doorgaans meer dan 160 kg. De Commissie ziet bijgevolg niet waarin de fout schuilt, waarover het geachte Parlementslid het in zijn vraag heeft. Wat het vervoer van kalveren betreft, voorzien Richtlijn 91/628/EEG van de Raad, en de wijzigingen daarvan, in de nodige maatregelen ter bescherming van de dieren tijdens het vervoer. Volgens de informatie waarover de Commissie beschikt, is de Deense nationale wetgeving volledig in overeenstemming met die richtlijn. (1) PB L 179 van 13. 7. 1994

Selve spłrgsm(cid:229)let om mennesker, der kommer fra Irak, blev rejst p(cid:229) R(cid:229)dets młde (Almindelige Anliggender) den 6. oktober 1997 samt p(cid:229) et młde for justitsministrene i Mondorf den 9. -10. oktober 1997.

(1) F(cid:230)lles holdning af 4. marts 1996 fastlagt af R(cid:229)det p(cid:229) grundlag af artikel K. 3 i traktaten om Den Europ(cid:230)iske Union vedrłrende harmoniseret anvendelse af definitionen af udtrykket (cid:146)flygtning(cid:146) i artikel 1 i Gene‘ve-konventionen af 28. juli 1951 om flygtningeretsstilling (EFT L 63 af 13. 3. 1996). (98/C 174/184) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL P-3757/97 af John Iversen (PSE) til Kommissionen (17. november 1997) Om: Tidlig markedsfłringspr(cid:230)mie Ved fastl(cid:230)ggelsen af den maksimale v(cid:230)gt for at opn(cid:229) tidlig markedsfłringspr(cid:230)mie er der for Holland og Belgien anvendt en slagtev(cid:230)gt p(cid:229) over 160 kg for kalve. Definitionen p(cid:229) en kalv er et dyr med en slagtev(cid:230)gt p(cid:229) under 160 kg. Matematisk er det umuligt at f(cid:229) et gennemsnit, der ligger over den łverste gr(cid:230)nse for gruppen. Hvordan kan Kommissionen forsvare at anvende en v(cid:230)gt fra Eurostat, der er baseret p(cid:229) en fejlagtig 1. anvendelse af definitionen p(cid:229) en kalv? 2. I betragtning af at fejlen medfłrer en konkurrenceforvridning, der indeb(cid:230)rer (cid:229)rlig transport af ca. 60. 000 sp(cid:230)de kalve fra Danmark til Holland under dyrev(cid:230)rnsm(cid:230)ssigt d(cid:229)rlige vilk(cid:229)r som fłlge af de nyfłdte kalves vaklende ben, finder Kommissionen det s(cid:229) ikke nłdvendigt at rette fejlen? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Franz Fischler (9. december 1997) Definitionen p(cid:229) en »kalv« til statistiske form(cid:229)l findes i Kommissionens beslutning 94/433/EF af 30. maj 1994 om gennemfłrelsesbestemmelser til R(cid:229)dets direktiv 93/24/E(cid:216)F for s(cid:229) vidt ang(cid:229)r de statistiske undersłgelser af hornkv(cid:230)gbestanden og hornkv(cid:230)gproduktionen samt (cid:230)ndring af n(cid:230)vnte direktiv (1). Denne definition henviser til en levende v(cid:230)gt p(cid:229) hłjst 300 kg. Slagtekalve med god til udm(cid:230)rket kropsbygning vil normalt give et udbytte p(cid:229) over 160 kg slagtet v(cid:230)gt. Kommissionen kan derfor ikke se, hvad det er for en fejl, det (cid:230)rede medlem taler om i sit spłrgsm(cid:229)let. Hvad ang(cid:229)r transport af kalve, fasts(cid:230)ttes i R(cid:229)dets direktiv 91/628/E(cid:216)F som (cid:230)ndret de fornłdne beskyttelses- foranstaltninger for dyr under transport.

text: *?<|1*j",Çf'tifW a -it COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 17. 11. 1997 COM(97) 585 final 94/0006 (SYN) Amended Proposal for a COUNCIL DIRECTIVE on the quality of bathing water (presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 189 a (2) of the EC-Treaty) EXPLANATORY MF. MOR ANDTTM The Commission submits this amended Proposal for a Council Directive on the quality of bathing water, pursuant to Article 189 (a) paragraph 2 of the EC Treaty. The amended proposal takes account of a number of amendments adopted by the European Parliament at its December 1996 Plenary Session. In general the Commission cannot accept the amendments which are, in its opinion, unworkable, or which will make implementation unduly onerous. On the other hand the Commission can accept amendments. which improve the clarity of the text and which remove any possible areas of ambiguity or doubt. The Commission can also accept those amendments which improve still further thé transparency of the proposed Directive. The Commission's position on the amendments adopted by Parliament is as follows: Amendments 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 18, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 40 are accepted either completely or in principle. These all improve the text, either by including sensible and logical additional requirements, or by removing possible areas of misinterpretation, or by improving transparency and the level of protection provided. Amendments 6,17,22(first part), 27,29 are accepted in part: the Commission proposes either some modification in the wording or a deletion of part of the text. On the other hand, amendments 1, 2, 3, 5, 6(partly), 7, 8, 13, 15, 16, 19, 20, 22(second part), 25, 30,32, 38 and 39 are not accepted. Amendments 2, 3, 6(partly), 8 and 22d - requesting an orientation towards tourism and/or Tourism programmes - and amendments 1, 5 and 15 - requesting an extension from bathing water to recreational water - do not fall within the scope of the Proposal. Amendments 38 and 39 - inserting a pesticide and nitrates parameter (respectively) in Annex I, Table I - are dealt with by Directives 76/646/EEC, 91/414/EEC, 91/676/EEC and91/271/EEC. Amendments 13 and 30 - introducing a type I advisory committee- cannot be accepted because the Commission does not accept the need for altering the type of committee provided for in its proposal. Amendments 16 - excessively stringent definition of bathing zone -, 19 and 20 - deleting a transition period for new bathing zones - would endanger the implementation of the proposed Directive. Amendments 25 - requesting the establishment by each Member State of public information data base - and 32 - requesting a yearly financial report of the actions undertaken by Member States regarding the implementation of the Directive - are not consistent with the principle of Subsidiarity. Amendment 7 does not add anything to the Proposal.

This measurement should be made in the middle of the bathing season, 1 Where this value cannot be respected for geographical reasons it may be replaced by 'No abnormal decrease'.

text: C 187/62 DE Amtsblatt der Europa¤ischen Gemeinschaften 16. 6. 98 Antwort von Herrn Fischler im Namen der Kommission (19. Januar 1998) Die Fo¤rderung des Tourismus im la¤ndlichen Raum und in den landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben ist eine Ma(cid:223)nahme, die vom Europa¤ischen Ausrichtungs- und Garantiefonds fu¤r die Landwirtschaft (EAGFL), Abteilung Ausrichtung, im Rahmen der meisten operationellen Programme fu¤r die Ziele 1 und 5b, der Gemeinschaftsinitiative Leader und eventuell auch im Rahmen der Verbesserungspla¤ne gema¤(cid:223) Artikel 6 Absatz 1 Buchstabe b der Verordnung (EG) Nr. 950/97 des Rates vom 20. Mai 1997 zur Verbesserung der Effizienz der Agrarstruktur (1) kofinanziert wird. Die Tourismusaktionen sind jedoch Teil der Unterprogramme, in denen verschiedene Ma(cid:223)nahmen kombiniert sind (insbesondere Diversifizierung, Entwicklung des la¤ndlichen Raums). Daher ist die Ausweisung der fu¤r den Tourismus bestimmten Mittel und ihre Aufschlu¤sselung nach Mitgliedstaaten nicht mo¤glich. (1) ABl. L 142 vom 2. 6. 1997. (98/C 187/99) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE P-3806/97 von Roberto Mezzaroma (UPE) an die Kommission (17. November 1997) Betrifft: Bau der Bru¤cke von Messina Kann die Kommission im Hinblick auf die ku¤nftige Verwirklichung der Bru¤cke u¤ber die Stra(cid:223)e von Messina einen U¤ berblick u¤ber den Stand der Dinge geben und insbesondere folgende Fragen beantworten: 1. Welche Mittel hat die EU zur Verfu¤gung gestellt und fu¤r wie viele Jahre? 2. Wurde ein Projekt ausgearbeitet, und wenn ja, von welcher Beratungsfirma; wie hoch waren die Kosten fu¤r das Projekt und von wem wurden sie u¤bernommen? 3. Bietet dieses Projekt echte Garantien fu¤r die Verwirklichung der Bru¤cke unter umweltpolitischen und geologischen Gesichtspunkten sowie unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Anbindung Siziliens ans Festland? 4. Wurden die Vorgaben der EU eingehalten? 5. Welche Gesellschaften werden sich an der Ausschreibung fu¤r die Verwirklichung dieses Vorhabens beteiligen? Antwort von Herrn Kinnock im Namen der Kommission (30. Januar 1998) Die Kommission hat keinerlei Finanzmittel fu¤r den Bau der Bru¤cke von Messina bereitgestellt. Die italienische Regierung hat der Kommission mitgeteilt, da(cid:223) der Zuschlag fu¤r die Planung und Ausfu¤hrung der Arbeiten der Genehmigung nach einem neuen Gesetz unterliegt. Die vorla¤ufige Planung wurde im Einklang mit dem Gesetz Nr. 1158 vom 17. Dezember 1971 und dem Ministerialerla(cid:223) Nr. 3437 vom 27. Dezember 1985 der Gesellschaft Stretto di Messina S. p. A. u¤bertragen. (98/C 187/100) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-3811/97 von Hilde Hawlicek (PSE) an die Kommission (26. November 1997) Betrifft: Zollma¤(cid:223)ige Benachteiligung von Video-Camcordern mit Eingangsbuchsen Europa¤ische Film- und Videoamateure sehen sich in ihrem kreativen Schaffen benachteiligt. Zollma¤(cid:223)ig werden in der EU Video-Camcorder, wenn sie mit Eingangsbuchsen ausgestattet sind, wie normale Videorecorder behandelt. Um den Zollbenachteiligungen zu entgehen, werden von den Herstellern wichtige Anschlu¤sse bei den Gera¤ten weggelassen. Dadurch wird den Videoamateuren die Mo¤glichkeit genommen, die neuesten Nachbear- beitungstechnologien anzuwenden. Das Aufnehmen von Sendungen mit einem Camcorder wu¤rde einem Videoamateur sowieso kaum einfallen
