text: 9. 10. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 310/131 Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (8 April 1998) The Commission is conducting a detailed investigation of the problem raised by the Honourable Member and will inform him of the outcome as soon as possible. (98/C 310/176) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0793/98 by Wilmya Zimmermann (PSE) to the Commission (18 March 1998) Subject: Disbursement of EU funds to the district of Upper Franconia In 1995, what was the amount of EU funds disbursed to Bavaria as a whole, and to the district of Upper 1. Franconia (Oberfranken) in particular? 2. In the context of what projects and funds were these appropriations disbursed? 3. What specific projects were carried out for the following target groups: › women › young people › the long-term unemployed, and what amount of aid was granted for each? Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (2 April 1998) The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its findings as soon as possible. (98/C 310/177) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0798/98 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (18 March 1998) Subject: Trafficking in human organs and drugs Shocking information and allegations about the illegal trade in human organs and dangerous drugs have appeared recently in the European press. In particular, the lawyer Marie-Gabrielle Kohler has given an interview in the Swiss newspaper, (cid:145)Le Matin(cid:146), alleging that consignments of drugs (which pose a serious threat to consumers) are being sent to Greece, and that a German doctor, Michael Hummel (who is supposed to be the mastermind behind drugs shipments to Greece), was interested in human organs originating from Eastern Europe and intended chiefly for German hospitals. Special companies have been set up to launder the revenue from these operations. It is also horrifying to hear Valerij Sumakov, a Russian transplant surgeon, admit that he himself exports organs from Moscow using forged documents. Will the Commission give its official views on this daunting ethical problem and say what information its services possess regarding exports of dangerous drugs and illegally obtained human organs to Greece?

text: C 354/16 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 11. 98 Why, in the Spanish version of the notice of open competitions COM/A/720 and COM/A/721 (OJ C 52 A, 28. 2. 1991), did the Commission include the requirement that applicants be holders of a higher education qualification obtained after a five-year course, when that same requirement did not appear in any other language version of the said notice? (98/C 354/40) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0726/98 by In(cid:152) igo Me·ndez de Vigo (PPE) to the Commission (18 March 1998) Subject: Access of Spanish Technical Engineers to Grade A/LA in the European civil service Why does the Commission assert that holders of the Ingeniero Te·cnico qualification are not eligible to study for doctorates, when some Member States allow them to do so? Is it true that the Commission has expressed its concern to the Spanish authorities that making holders of the Spanish Ingeniero Te·cnico qualification eligible for A/LA category posts will mean having to do the same for holders of qualifications obtained from three-year courses in other Member States? Does that justify rejecting applications from holders of the Spanish Ingeniero Te·cnico qualification? (98/C 354/41) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0727/98 by In(cid:152) igo Me·ndez de Vigo (PPE) to the Commission (18 March 1998) Subject: Access of Spanish Technical Engineers to Grade A/LA in the European civil service Why are applications accepted from holders of the British (cid:145)Bachelor of Arts(cid:146), (cid:145)Bachelor of Science(cid:146) and (cid:145)Bachelor of Engineering(cid:146) qualifications (cid:150) all of which are obtained after three years (cid:150) but not from holders of the Spanish Ingeniero Te·cnico qualification? Does the Commission take the view that the British (cid:145)Bachelor of Arts(cid:146), (cid:145)Bachelor of Science(cid:146) and (cid:145)Bachelor of Engineering(cid:146) qualifications rank higher than that of the Spanish Ingeniero Te·cnico? If so, why? (98/C 354/42) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0728/98 by In(cid:152) igo Me·ndez de Vigo (PPE) to the Commission (18 March 1998) Subject: Access of Spanish Technical Engineers to Grade A/LA in the European civil service What has led the Commission to require that Mr Vicente Alonso Morales, holder of the Spanish Ingeniero Te·cnico qualification and candidate for open competition COM/A/1047 (OJ C 145 A, 13. 5. 1997), should have successfully completed the equivalent of a full-length Spanish degree course, given that such a requirement does not appear in the text of the notice of competition? Joint answer to Written Questions E-0635/98, E-0636/98, E-0637/98, E-0638/98, E-0639/98, E-0640/98, E-0641/98, E-0642/98, E-0643/98, E-0644/98, E-0645/98, E-0669/98, E-0670/98, E-0671/98, E-0672/98, E-0673/98, E-0674/98, E-0675/98, E-0676/98, E-0677/98, E-0678/98, E-0679/98, E-0724/98, E-0725/98, E-0726/98, E-0727/98 and E-0728/98 given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission (21 April 1998) The Commission feels that most of the information requested by the Honourable Member is contained in its answers to written questions E-2749/97 by Ms Garcia Arias (1) and E-4186/97 by Ms Du¤hrkop Du¤hrkop (2). The Commission would accordingly refer the Honourable Member to these answers, where it gave a full statement of its general approach to qualifications giving access to A/LA posts in the European public service and more specifically to qualifications held by Spanish technical engineers
