text: 9. 10. 98 DE Amtsblatt der Europa¤ischen Gemeinschaften C 310/29 (98/C 310/32) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-0149/98 von Graham Mather (PPE) an die Kommission (2. Februar 1998) Betrifft: Liberalisierung der Telekommunikation (Vertragsverletzungsverfahren) Am 6. November 1997 gab die Kommission die Ero¤ffnung von Vertragsverletzungsverfahren gegen gewisse Mitgliedstaaten bekannt, nachdem sie u¤ber 20 Fa¤lle festgestellt hatte, in denen Mitgliedstaaten Teile der europa¤ischen Richtlinien nicht umgesetzt hatten, die fu¤r eine wirkliche Liberalisierung der Telekommunika- tionsma¤rkte von grundlegender Bedeutung sind. Es war die erkla¤rte Absicht der Kommission zu jener Zeit, mit dieser Ma(cid:223)nahme die U¤ bernahme relevanter Richtlinien in innerstaatliches Recht zu beschleunigen, um vor dem Stichtag des 1. Januar 1998 das Ziel eines vollkommen liberalisierten Telekommunikationsmarkt in der EU zu erreichen. Ist die Kommission zuversichtlich, da(cid:223) diese Ma(cid:223)nahmen zu einer raschen Abhilfe fu¤hren werden, und worauf stu¤tzt sich diese Zuversicht? In wievielen Fa¤llen wurde die notwendige Gesetzgebung bis zum Stichtag des 1. Januar 1998 von den Mitgliedstaaten nicht u¤bernommen; um welche Mitgliedstaaten und Gesetze handelt es sich? Welchen Zeitraum hat die Kommission gegenwa¤rtig fu¤r den Abschlu(cid:223) der U¤ bernahme aller notwendigen Ma(cid:223)nahmen in innerstaatliches Recht ins Auge gefa(cid:223)t? Welche Ma(cid:223)nahmen hat die Kommission getroffen, um die O¤ ffentlichkeit u¤ber diese Entwicklungen zu informieren? Antwort von Herrn Van Miert im Namen der Kommission (12. Ma¤rz 1998) Am 21. November und 2. Dezember 1997 hat die Kommission Fristsetzungsschreiben an sieben Mitgliedstaaten wegen zwanzig Fa¤llen von fehlender oder inkorrekter Umsetzung der gemeinschaftlichen Telekommunikations- richtlinien versandt. Der Erfolg dieser Ma(cid:223)nahme zeigt sich darin, da(cid:223) seither vierzehn dieser Fa¤lle offenbar zufriedenstellend von den betreffenden Mitgliedstaaten geregelt worden sind. Zur Lage am 1. Januar 1998 la¤(cid:223)t sich feststellen, da(cid:223) der Bericht der Kommission vom 18.

Die Kommission geht nun davon aus, da(cid:223) mit Ausnahme einer kleinen Anzahl von Fa¤llen die Umsetzung abgeschlossen ist. In den noch ausstehenden Fa¤llen wird die Umsetzung im allgemeinen durch zu erlassende Vorlagen gewa¤hrleistet. Zur Anwendung der von den Mitgliedstaaten eingefu¤hrten Regeln zieht die Kommission die erste Schlu(cid:223)folgerung, da(cid:223) trotz einer Anzahl von Beschwerden allgemein davon ausgegangen werden kann, da(cid:223) die erforderlichen Ma(cid:223)nahmen zur Gewa¤hrleistung des Marktzutritts ergriffen werden und da(cid:223) auch die Aufsichtsbeho¤rden das Erforderliche tun, damit die Einhaltung der aufsichtsrechtlichen Rahmenbestimmungen gewa¤hrleistet werden kann. Sollten jedoch Verzo¤gerungen oder eine unvollsta¤ndige Umsetzung in einigen Mitgliedstaaten festgestellt werden, wird die Kommission neue Vertragsverletzungsverfahren einzuleiten haben. Die Kommission beabsichtigt, in weiteren Mitteilungen u¤ber den Stand der Umsetzung den Schwerpunkt weg von der Umsetzung auf die wirksame Anwendung und eingehende Berichterstattung u¤ber die O¤ ffnung der nationalen Ma¤rkte zu legen, und dabei einen gro¤(cid:223)ere Anzahl an Bezugsgro¤(cid:223)en und umfassendere Angaben der nationalen Aufsichtsbeho¤rden zugrundezulegen.

Dette bygningsv(cid:230)rk er 100 (cid:229)r gammelt og kr(cid:230)ver naturligvis et omfattende vedligeholdelsesarbejde. Kanalens v(cid:230)gge faldt sammen den 18. december 1997, hvorfor kanalen blev lukket i l(cid:230)ngere tid. Reparationsudgifterne belłber sig til 30 mia drachmer. Kommissionen bedes oplyse, om der er mulighed for at finansiere dette reparationsarbejde via Den Europ(cid:230)iske Union, og om de gr(cid:230)ske myndigheder har indgivet en ansłgning herom til Unionen? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Monika Wulf-Mathies (4. marts 1998) Kommissionen har ikke modtaget nogen ansłgning om eventuel finansiering af det reparationsarbejde, som det (cid:230)rede medlem henviser til. Den vil dog głre opm(cid:230)rksom p(cid:229), at de gr(cid:230)ske myndigheder kan indgive en ansłgning herom i overensstem- melse med de procedurer, der er fastsat i EU-stłtterammen (EUSR). Kommissionen vil v(cid:230)re rede til i samarbejde med de gr(cid:230)ske myndigheder at undersłge alle finansieringsmuligheder inden for det budget, der er fastsat for den p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende EUSR.

text: C 223/124 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 17. 7. 98 (98/C 223/158) WRITTEN QUESTION P-0136/98 by Shaun Spiers (PSE) to the Commission (23 January 1998) Subject: Employment rights for clergy and church workers Is the Commission aware that ancient freehold rights for the clergy of the established church in England are being eroded and that, since clergy of all faiths in Britain are not protected by domestic employment legislation, rights under European Union legislation are not being universally applied to all workers within the European Union? Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (24 February 1998) The provisions of Community directives on labour law are generally applicable to employees. However, the Directives currently in force do not themselves define the concept of (cid:145)employee(cid:146). In the absence of a uniform Community concept in the field of labour law, the concept in the national law of each Member State determines the category of persons covered by the term (cid:145)employee(cid:146) and should, therefore, fall within the scope of the provisions in question. This idea is confirmed by the case law of the Court of Justice. This does not mean, however, that a Member State is free to restrict or extend the concept of (cid:145)employee(cid:146) deliberately in order to determine the scope of each Community Directive individually. In this context it is the general concept of labour law in force in the Member States which should apply. (98/C 223/159) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0144/98 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (2 February 1998) Subject: Support for Greek citrus-fruit growers Citrus-fruit growers in Greece are faced with severe problems in marketing this year(cid:146)s crop owing to overproduction in the EU, uncontrolled imports of very cheap orange juice from Brazil and the USA and the exceptionally harsh recent weather. Market prices have plummeted as a result of the considerable reductions in export subsidies deriving from the new rules applying to market-garden produce, their withdrawal from the market and pulping for juice and the manner in which the Commission has administered them. The entire situation is exacerbated by competition from third countries, particularly Mediterranean, which have preferential relations with the EU. In the light of this situation, will the Commission say: 1. how it will respond to the considerable loss of income suffered by growers, 2. whether it will allow an increase in the withdrawal ceiling by way of exception (from the current 35% of marketable quantities) in order to absorb part of the crop, and 3. what other measures it will take to relieve the dire financial situation which has befallen citrus-fruit growers in Greece? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (9 March 1998) The Greek citrus-growing sector suffers from structural problems such as undiversified production, weak 1. marketing structures and a processing industry not geared towards manufacturing competitive products

Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Pa·draig Flynn (24. februar 1998) F(cid:230)llesskabsdirektivernes bestemmelser p(cid:229) det arbejdsretslige omr(cid:229)de g(cid:230)lder generelt for alle lłnmodtagere. De i łjeblikket g(cid:230)ldende direktiver definerer dog ikke selv begrebet lłnmodtager. S(cid:229) l(cid:230)nge der ikke findes en ensartet f(cid:230)llesskabsdefinition p(cid:229) det arbejdsretslige omr(cid:229)de, g(cid:230)lder de enkelte medlemsstaters nationale retsbegreber, og det er dem, der afgłr, hvilken kategori af personer, der defineres som lłnmodtager og dermed d(cid:230)kkes af de p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende bestemmelsers anvendelsesomr(cid:229)de. Denne opfattelse bekr(cid:230)ftes af Domstolens retspraksis. Det betyder dog ikke, at en medlemsstat frit kan indskr(cid:230)nke eller udvide begrebet lłnmodtager og s(cid:229)ledes bestemme anvendelsesomr(cid:229)det for de enkelte f(cid:230)llesskabsdirektiver individuelt. Det er den generelt g(cid:230)ldende arbejdsret i medlemsstaterne, der skal anvendes i denne sammenh(cid:230)ng. (98/C 223/159) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-0144/98 af Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) til Kommissionen (2. februar 1998) Om: Stłtte til citrusfrugtdyrkere i Gr(cid:230)kenland Citrusfrugtdyrkerne i Gr(cid:230)kenland har store problemer med at afs(cid:230)tte deres hłst i (cid:229)r b(cid:229)de p(cid:229) grund af den fastsl(cid:229)ede overproduktion i EU(cid:146)s medlemsstater og den ukontrollerede import af appelsinsaft fra Brasilien og USA til meget lave priser og ogs(cid:229) p(cid:229) grund af de s(cid:230)rdeles ugunstige vejrforhold i den seneste tid. Der kan konstateres en st(cid:230)rk nedgang i markedspriserne, hvilket kan fłres tilbage de omfattende nedsk(cid:230)ringer i eksportsubventionerne p(cid:229) grundlag af de nye bestemmelser om frugt og grłnsager, samt de betingelser, hvorunder Kommissionen har fjernet frugterne fra markedet, har ladet dem forarbejde til saft og har administreret dem. Hele situationen forv(cid:230)rres af den konkurrence, som citrusfrugterne uds(cid:230)ttes for, som fłlge af EU(cid:146)s pr(cid:230)ferenceforbindelser til tredjelande og is(cid:230)r til Middelhavsomr(cid:229)det. Kommissionen bedes i betragtning af ovenfor n(cid:230)vnte kendsgerninger oplyse: 1. Hvorledes agter den at udligne de omfattende indt(cid:230)gtstab, som producenterne lider? 2. Agter den undtagelsesvis at forhłje maksimalm(cid:230)ngderne for tilbagetagelse fra markedet (fra de 35% i dag af de m(cid:230)ngder, der kan markedsfłres) for at absorbere en del af produktionen? 3. Hvilke yderligere foranstaltninger agter den at tr(cid:230)ffe for at afbłde den kritiske finansielle situation, som de gr(cid:230)ske citrusfrugtdyrkere befinder sig i? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Franz Fischler (9. marts 1998) 1. Den gr(cid:230)ske citrusfrugtsektor er ramt af strukturelle problemer som f. eks. en meget lidt diversificeret produktion, en utilstr(cid:230)kkelig afs(cid:230)tningsstruktur og en forarbejdningsindustri, der ikke er i stand til at fremstille konkurrencedygtige produkter

text: 2. 10. 98 PT Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias C 304/43 Resposta dada por Neil Kinnock em nome da Comissa(cid:152)o (12 de Mar(cid:231)o de 1998) Por razo(cid:152)es que se prendem com a subsidiariedade e porque considera que os operadores ferrovia·rios se devera(cid:152)o pautar por uma o·ptica comercial, a Comissa(cid:152)o na(cid:152)o tem planos para propor requisitos do tipo dos sugeridos pela Senhora Deputada. Como indicado no Livro Verde sobre a «rede dos cidada(cid:152)os» (1), e· objectivo da Comissa(cid:152)o encorajar as pessoas a efectuarem mais as suas desloca(cid:231)o(cid:152)es de transporte pu·blico, de bicicleta e a pe·. Facilitar a utiliza(cid:231)a(cid:152)o combinada da bicicleta e do comboio e· uma boa maneira de o fazer, e o transporte de bicicletas nos comboios tera· aqui o seu papel a par de medidas que promovam a cria(cid:231)a(cid:152)o de espa(cid:231)os para guardar bicicletas nas esta(cid:231)o(cid:152)es. Na opinia(cid:152)o da Comissa(cid:152)o, ha· duas maneiras de incentivar o transporte de bicicletas nos comboios. Primeiro, os poderes pu·blicos podera(cid:152)o estabelecer este requisito quando especificarem os servi(cid:231)os pu·blicos a prestar pelos operadores. De acordo com a pol(cid:14)·tica geral da Comunidade relativamente aos servi(cid:231)os pu·blicos, compete a‘s autoridades dos Estados-membros definirem que servi(cid:231)os desejam ver prestados. Os requisitos devera(cid:152)o ser claramente definidos e os operadores compensados se o seu cumprimento der origem a custos l(cid:14)·quidos. Em segundo lugar, a Comissa(cid:152)o quer encorajar o transporte de bicicletas nos comboios por considerar que pode ser comercialmente interessante para os operadores ferrovia·rios oferecerem um servi(cid:231)o suscept(cid:14)·vel de interessar muitas pessoas, que desejariam poder deslocar-se de comboio acompanhadas das suas bicicletas. E· objectivo da Comissa(cid:152)o, atrave·s da sua pol(cid:14)·tica de promo(cid:231)a(cid:152)o da rede dos cidada(cid:152)os, contribuir para que este tipo de servi(cid:231)os se generalize. Um exemplo espec(cid:14)·fico e· a sua recente decisa(cid:152)o de apoiar financeiramente a fase de planeamento do projecto de itinera·rios ciclistas internacionais EuroVelo, patrocinado pela Federa(cid:231)a(cid:152)o dos ciclistas europeus. Um dos objectivos principais deste projecto e· promover o cicloturismo, o que devera· incrementar a procura de transporte de bicicletas por comboio ate· pontos estrate·gicos em cada itinera·rio ciclista, factor este que sera· especificamente tido em conta na planifica(cid:231)a(cid:152)o da rede. Um requisito comunita·rio vinculativo, que obrigasse os operadores ferrovia·rios a assegurarem o transporte de bicicletas, imporia a estes custos elevados se a configura(cid:231)a(cid:152)o ou uma elevada taxa de ocupa(cid:231)a(cid:152)o dos comboios o tornasse impratica·vel. A obriga(cid:231)a(cid:152)o de transporte gratuito das bicicletas, como sugerido pela Senhora Deputada, poderia reduzir as receitas de alguns operadores. Para se alcan(cid:231)arem os objectivos da rede dos cidada(cid:152)os, e· vital promover a adop(cid:231)a(cid:152)o pelos operadores ferrovia·rios de uma o·ptica comercial; a imposi(cid:231)a(cid:152)o, de fora, de requisitos deste tipo sem compensa(cid:231)a(cid:152)o, sem du·vida deseja·veis em si mesmos, iria contra tal o·ptica. A Comissa(cid:152)o dirige actualmente um projecto de investiga(cid:231)a(cid:152)o em coopera(cid:231)a(cid:152)o relativo a‘ acessibilidade dos sistemas ferrovia·rios pesados aos passageiros (COST 335), cujo objectivo e· desenvolver normas europeias para o design e a opera(cid:231)a(cid:152)o de comboios, esta(cid:231)o(cid:152)es e servi(cid:231)os de informa(cid:231)a(cid:152)o. Embora o projecto esteja centrado nas necessidades das pessoas com mobilidade reduzida, e· prova·vel que muitas das caracter(cid:14)·sticas do design dos comboios em estudo venham igualmente a beneficiar as pessoas que se deslocam em bicicleta.
