text: 22. 12. 98 DA De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende C 402/133 (98/C 402/175) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-1426/98 af Kenneth Coates (GUE/NGL) til Kommissionen (11. maj 1998) Om: Den hurtige spredning af tuberkulose Har Kommissionen kendskab til WHO(cid:146)s beretninger om omfanget og hurtigheden af spredningen af tuberkulose i Sydłstasien, Afrika, (cid:216)steuropa og andre steder og om antallet af dłdsfald, den for(cid:229)rsager? Hvad foretager Kommissionen sig for at rette op p(cid:229) denne katastrofale situation? Hvilken bistand yder Kommissionen til forskning i, hvordan tuberkulose kan kontrolleres og helbredes? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af PÆdraig Flynn (29. maj 1998) Kommissionen er bekendt med det łgede antal tilf(cid:230)lde af tuberkulose (TB) og de faktorer, som er forbundet med dette f(cid:230)nomen, herunder sundhedssystemer i forfald, forv(cid:230)rrede samfundsłkonomiske forhold og uhensigts- m(cid:230)ssige fremgangsm(cid:229)der, som fłrer til antimikrobiel resistens. Gennem f(cid:230)llesskabsprogrammet vedrłrende det erhvervede immundefektsyndrom (AIDS) og andre smitsomme sygdomme yder Kommissionen stłtte til projekter vedrłrende tilsyn med og foranstaltninger i forbindelse med TB, som omfatter samtlige medlemsstater. Projekterne har til form(cid:229)l at s(cid:230)tte medlemsstaternes myndigheder i stand til at bek(cid:230)mpe sygdommen bedre. I forbindelse med F(cid:230)llesskabets udvidelse er ansłgerlandene i Central- og (cid:216)steuropa blevet tilskyndet til at deltage i dette og andre handlingsprogrammer p(cid:229) folkesundhedsomr(cid:229)det (adgang for de central- og łsteurop- (cid:230)iske lande, Malta og Cypern). Kommissionen samarbejder ogs(cid:229) p(cid:229) dette omr(cid:229)de med De Forenede Stater inden for rammerne af F(cid:230)llesskabets/De Forenede Staters task force og med internationale organisationer, s(cid:230)rlig Verdenssundhedsorganisationen (WHO) og Verdensbanken. Med hensyn til forskning i tuberkulose, finansierer BIOMED p(cid:229) indev(cid:230)rende tidspunkt 7 projekter, svarende til i alt 3,25 millioner ECU, vedrłrende udvikling af vaccine, udvikling af en ny generation af l(cid:230)gemidler med henblik p(cid:229) de l(cid:230)gemiddelresistente kulturer, som er i cirkulation, og tuberkulose-epidemiologi. Der er ogs(cid:229) mulighed for at forske i tuberkulose under det 5. forskningsrammeprogram, hvor der vil blive gennemfłrt en nłgleaktion inden for smitsomme sygdomme. (98/C 402/176) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL P-1427/98 af Astrid Thors (ELDR) til Kommissionen (29. april 1998) Om: Fransk lovgivning om krypteringsteknikker Frankrigs lovgivning p(cid:229) teleomr(cid:229)det begr(cid:230)nser i betydelig grad anvendelsen af krypteringsteknikker. Dette er ogs(cid:229) blevet bem(cid:230)rket i Kommissionens meddelelse om kryptering og digitale underskrifter. For nylig er der i Frankrig tr(cid:229)dt to nye forordninger i kraft, som opstiller betingelser for anvendelsen og głr sektoren til genstand for anmeldelses- eller tilladelsesprocedure. Blandt begr(cid:230)nsningerne kan n(cid:230)vnes, at den s(cid:229)kaldte Third Trusted Party TTP, som er en foruds(cid:230)tning for, at kryptering kan tillades, skal have flertal af franske statsborgere i sin ledelse. Endvidere skal »nłglerne« til krypteringen findes hos en s(cid:229)kaldt TTP, hvilket kan medfłre, at en meddelelse, som findes i (cid:230)ndret form p(cid:229) en PC, ikke p(cid:229) lovlig vis kan bruges i Frankrig. Mener Kommissionen, at de ovenn(cid:230)vnte regler og forhold er forenelige med det indre markeds bestemmelser? Hvis dette ikke er tilf(cid:230)ldet, hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen s(cid:229) at tr(cid:230)ffe for at garantere, at muligheden for at tilbyde service og sikre fortroligheden af meddelelserne ogs(cid:229) kan garanteres p(cid:229) fransk omr(cid:229)de?

Die f(cid:252)r die Kofinanzierung des Alqueva-Projekts vorgesehenen Bedingungen erkl(cid:228)ren sich durch die besondere Bedeutung des Projekts (mehr als 300 Mio Ecu an Gemeinschaftsmitteln), das wegen seines Umfangs spezifische Probleme in den Bereichen Umwelt, Wasserversorgung, Wirtschaftsentwicklung und bei der Koordinierung der Weiterverfolgung des Vorhabens aufgeworfen hat. Doch sollten hier einige Zahlen und Fakten genannt werden. F(cid:252)r den Alqueva wird der EFRE lediglich zu Preisen von 1997 96,6 Mio Ecu investieren. Die Restmittel sind vom Koh(cid:228)sionsfonds, vom ESF und vom EAGFL Ausrichtung aufzubringen. Wenn wir dies mit f(cid:252)r Spanien geltenden Zahlen vergleichen wollen, wo es auch Finanzbeitr(cid:228)ge f(cid:252)r Wassereinzugsgebiete (cid:252)ber den Koh(cid:228)sionsfonds gibt, dann m(cid:252)ssen wir uns auf den EFRE beziehen. Und dieser wird im spanischen Wasserbauplan im gleichen Zeitraum (s. GFK) 260 Milliarden Escudos investieren, das hei(cid:223)t 13 mal mehr als der Mittelansatz f(cid:252)r Alqueva. Sicherlich ist der Kommission bekannt, da(cid:223) die Aufgliederung eines Programms oder Projekts (wie der spanische hydrologische Plan, der allem Anschein nach zahlreiche vom EFRE finanzierte und an internationalen Fl(cid:252)ssen, etwa dem Guadiana, liegende Staud(cid:228)mme und (cid:132)Umbettungen(cid:147)) umfa(cid:223)t, nicht dazu berechtigt, es nicht als Ganzes zu betrachten, auch unter Ber(cid:252)cksichtigung des einheitlichen Charakters der im gleichen Einzugsgebiet vorgenommenen Investitionen. Wie kann die Kommission demnach behaupten, da(cid:223) kein Projekt in dem Umfang des Alqueva finanziert wurde? Und wie kann sie geltend machen, will sie unparteiisch bleiben, da(cid:223) nur Alqueva die besonderen Begleit- bedingungen rechtfertigt, die f(cid:252)r die Kofinanzierung gelten? (1) ABl.

text: C 402/134 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 22. 12. 98 Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (11 June 1998) The French authorities notified in accordance with Council Directive 83/189/EEC of 28 March 1983 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations (1) the four draft decrees concerning the implementation of the cryptography provisions of the French telecommunications law. The Commission commented in all four cases on the draft legislation. Recently, the French authorities formally adopted the decrees. The French legislation distinguishes between, on the one hand, confidentiality products and services and, on the other hand, authentication, i. e. digital signatures, products and services. With regard to confidentiality products and services the French legislation provides rules on their use, on the supply of low security products, on service providers established in France and on other supplies as products or services. Following the Commission(cid:146)s interpretation, there are no restrictions on their use if an authorised service provider is used, otherwise prior authorisation is needed. The supply of low security products is subject to a prior declaration procedure. Service providers established in France are obliged to meet a special prior authorisation procedure and for other supplies of products or services a prior authorisation procedure is stipulated. The special prior authorisation procedure concerning providers of confidentiality services established on French territory does not contain, in the version which has been adopted, the requirement that a majority of the members of the board must possess French nationality. The decree only requires that the service providers employ a sufficient number of staff qualifying under decree 81-514 concerning the protection of defence and national security secrets. The Commission reconfirms the position taken in the communication on digital signatures and encryption (2), which made clear that it would monitor closely the behaviour of Member States in the field of cryptography and assess the relevant national provisions with regard to their compatibility with the EC Treaty, the case law of the Court of justice and the requirements imposed by Directive 95/46/EC of the Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (3) and Directive 97/66/EC of the Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 1997 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the telecommunications sector (4).

Has the Commission made provision for control measures to achieve this goal? (1) OJ L 162, 19. 6. 1997, p. 1

De conformidad con dicho acuerdo, la Uni(cid:243)n Europea facilita fondos por un importe de 225. 000 ecus a la «Guardia di Finanza» (polic(cid:237)a aduanera y fiscal italiana) por la utilizaci(cid:243)n de dos de sus patrulleras para, en colaboraci(cid:243)n con las autoridades aduaneras albanesas, controlar los buques mercantes y combatir el contrabando. ¿Tiene conocimiento la Comisi(cid:243)n de que la isla griega de Corfœ se ha convertido en objetivo de las actividades de la mafia albanesa y de que a travØs de las fronteras grecoalbanesas se trafican importantes cantidades de drogas? ¿Por quØ no se han aprobado fondos similares para el reforzamiento de las autoridades portuarias, aduaneras y policiales griegas? Respuesta del Sr. Monti en nombre de la Comisi(cid:243)n (2 de julio de 1998) En respuesta a una petici(cid:243)n albanesa para afrontar el importante problema del contrabando, la Comisi(cid:243)n ha llegado a un compromiso a corto plazo para financiar parcialmente la cesi(cid:243)n de agentes italianos con funciones fiscales y policiales en el sector aduanero (Guardia di Finanza) a fin de ayudar a sus colegas albaneses, basÆndose en un acuerdo entre Albania e Italia sobre el despliegue de efectivos y la ayuda naval en ese sector. Esta acci(cid:243)n se lleva a cabo dentro de las actividades de apoyo de la Comunidad a Albania y forma parte del memorÆndum de acuerdo sobre la ayuda aduanera a Albania firmado entre la Comisi(cid:243)n y este pa(cid:237)s. La Comisi(cid:243)n es consciente de la existencia de problemas de contrabando mÆs amplios en la regi(cid:243)n albanesa, pero no ha examinado la posibilidad de proporcionar una ayuda similar a las autoridades griegas a falta de una solicitud espec(cid:237)fica por parte de Grecia. Sin embargo, ha financiado medidas y ha colaborado con la administraci(cid:243)n griega en el marco del sistema informÆtico preventivo para transmitir informaci(cid:243)n prÆctica que le ayude a luchar contra el fraude en el trÆfico comercial procedente de Albania. (1999/C 50/063) PREGUNTA ESCRITA P-1529/98 de Elly Plooij-van Gorsel (ELDR) a la Comisi(cid:243)n (11 de mayo de 1998) Asunto: Problemas de las empresas neerlandesas de la construcci(cid:243)n que operan en Alemania La «Arbeitnehmer-Entsendegesetz» (AEg) (ley alemana relativa a los trabajadores desplazados por las empresas) obliga a los empresarios neerlandeses que operan en Alemania con trabajadores neerlandeses, entre otras cosas, a que las n(cid:243)minas de dichos trabajadores estØn disponibles en el lugar de trabajo en Alemania. AdemÆs, desde el 1 de enero de 1998, la inspecci(cid:243)n alemana obliga al empresario a estar localizable en Alemania mediante una direcci(cid:243)n (postal) o un apoderado. En caso contrario, pueden imponØrsele multas de hasta 500. 000 DM. ¿EstÆ al corriente la Comisi(cid:243)n de que, desde la modificaci(cid:243)n de la AEg, las empresas neerlandesas que 1. operan en Alemania o que tienen intenci(cid:243)n de hacerlo, se ven confrontadas a farragosos trÆmites burocrÆticos que dificulta considerablemente el poder trabajar en Alemania? ¿Podr(cid:237)a averiguar la Comisi(cid:243)n si las disposiciones de la AEg son conformes a la legislaci(cid:243)n comunitaria, en 2. particular, en lo que se refiere a la libre circulaci(cid:243)n de trabajadores y la libre prestaci(cid:243)n de servicios? Si la AEg incluyera disposiciones proteccionistas prohibidas que obstaculicen el funcionamiento del 3. mercado interior, ¿quØ medidas piensa adoptar la Comisi(cid:243)n para poner fin a esta situaci(cid:243)n?

Respuesta del Sr. Flynn en nombre de la Comisi(cid:243)n (19 de junio de 1998) La Comisi(cid:243)n estÆ trabajando desde hace varios aæos sobre el tema general de la participaci(cid:243)n financiera de los trabajadores.

La Commission tiendra bien entendu compte des Øvolutions constatØes lors des exercices futurs de surveillance multilatØrale et de grandes orientations de la politique Øconomique. (1999/C 13/047) QUESTION (cid:201)CRITE E-1444/98 posØe par Mirja Ryyn(cid:228)nen (ELDR) (cid:224) la Commission (11 mai 1998) Objet: Aide de l(cid:146)Union europØenne au dØveloppement de l(cid:146)Ølevage ovin en Finlande (cid:192) l(cid:146)automne 1997, la Finlande a ØlaborØ un plan de dØveloppement de l(cid:146)Ølevage ovin, actuellement peu rØpandu sur son territoire. L(cid:146)objectif est d(cid:146)augmenter la production de sorte que la sØlection soit plus efficace et de meilleure qualitØ. Mais le dØveloppement des structures nØcessite de nouveaux investissements. Un des problŁmes du dØveloppement de l(cid:146)Ølevage ovin est le faible montant de la prime (cid:224) la brebis. La Finlande a demandØ (cid:224) l(cid:146)Union europØenne un appui en vue d(cid:146)une augmentation des primes actuelles. Toutefois, l(cid:146)Union europØenne s(cid:146)est montrØe trŁs rØservØe sur ce point jusqu(cid:146)(cid:224) prØsent. Or, en Finlande, une augmentation de la prime (cid:224) la brebis est jugØe indispensable pour le dØveloppement de ce secteur Øconomique. Quelles mesures la Commission envisage-t-elle de prendre pour qu(cid:146)il soit possible de verser aux producteurs finlandais de viande ovine une prime (cid:224) la brebis suffisante pour contribuer au dØveloppement de l(cid:146)Ølevage ovin en Finlande? RØponse donnØe par M. Fischler au nom de la Commission (12 juin 1998) La Commission est consciente des problŁmes que rencontre l(cid:146)Ølevage ovin en Finlande. Ces problŁmes Øtant essentiellement de nature structurelle, la Finlande, en accord avec la Commission, met en place un certain nombre de programmes qui ont pour but d(cid:146)amØliorer les structures dans ce secteur ainsi que la qualitØ des carcasses. La Finlande a demandØ l(cid:146)octroi d(cid:146)une prime supplØmentaire pour ses producteurs mais cette requŒte a ØtØ rejetØe par la Commission car elle aurait abouti (cid:224) relancer de maniŁre inopportune le dØbat sur le calcul des primes (cid:224) l(cid:146)Øchelon rØgional. La prime annuelle qui est octroyØe actuellement au titre du rØgime pour les viandes ovine et caprine accorde aux producteurs une compensation calculØe sur la base du niveau du prix communautaire moyen. La Commission considŁre qu(cid:146)il convient d(cid:146)Øviter la dØpendance (cid:224) l(cid:146)Øgard de telles primes et que les meilleurs arguments pour encourager les producteurs (cid:224) amØliorer la qualitØ et (cid:224) rØaliser des investissements structurels sont l(cid:146)augmentation consØcutive des prix et la croissance du potentiel du marchØ. La Commission n(cid:146)envisage donc pas de faire de proposition en vue d(cid:146)accorder une prime supplØmentaire aux producteurs finlandais de viande ovine.

text: C 354/98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 19. 11. 98 (98/C 354/155) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1437/98 by Miguel Arias Can(cid:152) ete (PPE) to the Commission (11 May 1998) Subject: Gibraltar Social Insurance Fund The agreement between the authorities of the United Kingdom and Gibraltar to wind up the so-called Gibraltar Social Insurance Fund as of 31 December 1993, a clear violation of Community law, led the Commission to deliver a reasoned opinion against the United Kingdom, as provided for under Article 169 of the EEC Treaty. The result of the Commission(cid:146)s action has been the resumption of pension payments since 30 June 1996. Nonetheless, hundreds of Spanish workers and pensioners have yet to receive the payment of arrears corresponding to the period 1 January 1994 to 30 June 1996. Given these circumstances, what measures will the Commission be taking to ensure compliance with the provisions of Council Regulations (EEC) Nos 1408/71 (1) and 574/72 (2), as well as those of Articles 48 to 51 and Article 227 of the Treaty of Rome? (1) OJ L 149, 5. 7. 1971, p. 2. (2) OJ L 74, 27. 3. 1972, p. 1. Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (22 June 1998) The Commission is aware of the problem raised by the Honourable Member concerning the failure to pay arrears for the period 1 January 1994 to 30 June 1996 to some former workers affiliated to the Gibraltar pension fund. In effect, when the Commission decided on 26 June 1997 to close the proceedings instituted against the United Kingdom following the dissolution of this fund, an individual letter was sent to the 6 500 persons who had complained to inform them of the steps taken by the Commission since 1994 to resolve the problem. However, they were also requested to provide information on any difficulties encountered in recovering the pensions in order to ensure that the rights of the beneficiaries were respected. Following this letter the Commission contacted the UK authorities with an eye to resolving the problem cases. If the situation persists the Commission may possibly institute new infringement proceedings. (98/C 354/156) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1446/98 by Bartho Pronk (PPE) to the Commission (11 May 1998) Subject: Socio-political adult education and its role in the Commission(cid:146)s education policy Further to my question E-603/98 (1) and your answer of 8 April 1998, I should be grateful for answers to the third, fourth and fifth questions I asked. Pursuant to Article 140 of the Treaty, the Commission must reply orally or in writing to questions put to it by the European Parliament or by its Members. Accordingly, you must provide information in response to questions by Members of the European Parliament. Does the Commission lack the information or does it take the line that it does not impart information to a Member of the European Parliament. My questions are: 1. Is it correct that the Commission only supports socio-political topics when they are of immediate relevance to the Commission (e. g. the euro) but offers NGOs no prospect of financing for topics chosen by them?


title: INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA n. 1443/98 dell'on. José GARCÍA- MARGALLO Y MARFIL alla Commissione. Euro 1999

text: 22. 12. 98 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 402/135 (98/C 402/178) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1442/98 di JosØ Garc(cid:237)a-Margallo y Marfil (PPE) alla Commissione (11 maggio 1998) Oggetto: Euro 1999 Nella comunicazione della Commissione sugli aspetti pratici dell(cid:146) euro (COM(98) 61 def. , pagina 14) viene fatto riferimento a due regolamenti sull(cid:146)euro, fondati sull(cid:146)articolo 235 e sull(cid:146)articolo 109 L, che non autorizzano nØ vietano esplicitamente gli oneri di conversione e si indica che: «tuttavia, altri principi giuridici stabiliti nei regolamenti comunitari e nelle legislazioni nazionali limitano le possibilit(cid:224) delle banche: ad esempio, gli oneri non sarebbero consentiti per la conversione dei pagamenti in entrata e per la conversione di conti alla fine del periodo transitorio. Analogamente, addebitando per un servizio denominato in euro spese superiori rispetto a quelle per il medesimo servizio denominato in moneta nazionale si comprometterebbe l(cid:146)equivalenza legale tra quest(cid:146)ultima e l(cid:146)euro. La Commissione ritiene che tali pratiche sarebbero condannabili». Quali misure ritiene la Commissione che potrebbero adottare la banche centrali e/o le amministrazioni nazionali per evitare che vengano seguite tali pratiche? (98/C 402/179) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1443/98 di JosØ Garc(cid:237)a-Margallo y Marfil (PPE) alla Commissione (11 maggio 1998) Oggetto: Euro 1999 Nella comunicazione della Commissione sugli aspetti pratici dell(cid:146)euro (COM(98) 61 def. ), si sostiene che alcuni principi giuridici contenuti nei regolamenti che istituiscono lo statuto giuridico dell(cid:146)euro a quanto pare limitano la possibilit(cid:224) che le banche applichino commissioni per i servizi di conversione dei pagamenti in entrata nonchØ per la conversione dei conti nel periodo transitorio. Cosa pensa di fare la Commissione per garantire il rispetto di questi principi generali? Risposta comune data dal sig. De Silguy in nome della Commissione alle interrogazioni scritte E-1438/98, E-1442/98 e E-1443/98 (11 giugno 1998) Nella risposta all(cid:146)interrogazione scritta presentata dall(cid:146)onorevole parlamentare (P-1422/98) (1), la Commissione ha ribadito la propria posizione in merito alle implicazioni delle vigenti norme giuridiche per quanto attiene alle commissioni bancarie sulle operazioni di conversione in euro, che conferma l(cid:146)opinione espressa dall(cid:146)onorevole parlamentare. Il 23 aprile 1998, la Commissione ha adottato una raccomandazione (2) indirizzata al settore bancario ed agli Stati membri, che stabilisce uno «standard di buona condotta» relativo alle spese bancarie sulle operazioni di conversione. Tra le possibili modalit(cid:224) volte ad assicurare un(cid:146)applicazione trasparente dello «standard di buona condotta», la Commissione ha menzionato nella raccomandazione la possibilit(cid:224) che le banche adottino un codice di condotta, l(cid:146)utilizzo di un marchio europeo per l(cid:146)indicazione dei prezzi a livello nazionale, o l(cid:146)introduzione di disposizioni relative alle commissioni bancarie nei piani nazionali di passaggio all(cid:146)euro. Le banche centrali e le pubbliche amministrazioni potrebbero favorire ed incoraggiare tali pratiche presso le rispettive associazioni bancarie nazionali al fine di assicurare il rispetto dei principi generali enunciati e raccomandati dalla Commissione. Le pubbliche amministrazioni potrebbero integrare le pratiche raccomandate nei piani nazionali di passaggio all(cid:146)euro ovvero concludere accordi con il settore bancario e finanziario nel quadro delle strutture nazionali di dialogo. La Commissione intende sorvegliare l(cid:146)applicazione dei principi raccomandati e, a tal fine, ha esplicitamente richiesto alle associazioni bancarie, nella «raccomandazione relativa al dialogo, al monitoraggio ed all(cid:146)informa- zione per agevolare la transizione all(cid:146)euro»2, di trasmetterle un rapporto, entro il 1 novembre 1998, sull(cid:146)attua- zione dello «standard» da parte del settore bancario.

text: C 50/36 Journal officiel des CommunautØs europØennes FR 22. 2. 1999 RØponse donnØe par M. Santer au nom de la Commission (25 juin 1998) (cid:192) l(cid:146)exception d(cid:146)articles de presse, la Commission ne dispose d(cid:146)aucun ØlØment probant concernant l(cid:146)une ou 1. l(cid:146)autre de ces allØgations. La Commission reste toutefois attentive (cid:224) la dØfense des intØrŒts de la CommunautØ et s(cid:146)emploie toujours 2. activement (cid:224) amØliorer la sØcuritØ de ses rØseaux de donnØes, notamment des communications par courrier Ølectronique. La Commission condamne toute tentative de viol de la confidentialitØ des informations dØtenues ou transmises par les institutions communautaires. 3. et 4. L(cid:146)Honorable Parlementaire est priØe de se reporter (cid:224) la rØponse apportØe ci-dessus. (1999/C 50/052) QUESTION (cid:201)CRITE E-1439/98 posØe par JosØ Garc(cid:237)a-Margallo y Marfil (PPE) (cid:224) la Commission (11 mai 1998) Objet: Euro 1999 Le gouvernement fran(cid:231)ais vient de proposer la rØduction du temps de travail hebdomadaire (cid:224) 35 heures. Quelle serait, selon la Commission, l(cid:146)incidence sur la compØtitivitØ de l(cid:146)industrie europØenne de la gØnØralisation de cette mesure (cid:224) tous les pays de l(cid:146)Union? RØponse donnØe par M. de Silguy au nom de la Commission (24 juin 1998) Le livre vert «Partenariat pour une nouvelle organisation du travail» (1) examine les possibilitØs d(cid:146)amØliorer la compØtitivitØ et l(cid:146)emploi par le biais d(cid:146)une meilleure organisation du travail sur les lieux de travail. C(cid:146)est dans ce contexte qu(cid:146)il convient d(cid:146)Øtudier les changements dans la durØe du travail. Dans les lignes directrices pour l(cid:146)emploi de 1998 (2), les partenaires sociaux sont invitØs (cid:224) nØgocier aux niveaux appropriØs, notamment au niveau sectoriel et au niveau des entreprises, des accords visant (cid:224) moderniser l(cid:146)organisation du travail, y compris les formules souples de travail, afin de rendre les entreprises productives et compØtitives et d(cid:146)atteindre l(cid:146)Øquilibre nØcessaire entre souplesse et sØcuritØ. Ces accords peuvent porter, par exemple, sur l(cid:146)annualisation du temps de travail, la rØduction du temps de travail, la rØduction des heures supplØmentaires, le dØveloppement du travail (cid:224) temps partiel, la formation tout au long de la vie «et les interruptions de carriŁre». La question du temps de travail est Øgalement abordØe dans la communication de la Commission intitulØe «Croissance et emploi dans le cadre de stabilitØ de l(cid:146)UEM» (3). Il y est fait une distinction importante entre rØduction forcØe et rØduction volontaire du temps de travail. Alors que la premiŁre soulŁve une foule de questions, la seconde offre la possibilitØ d(cid:146)orienter la croissance vers la crØation d(cid:146)emplois. Aussi des mesures spØcifiques de rØduction du temps de travail au niveau micro-Øconomique peuvent-elles avoir une incidence positive sur l(cid:146)emploi, sous certaines conditions, lorsqu(cid:146)elles sont nØgociØes entre les partenaires sociaux.

text: C 386/126 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 11. 12. 98 Antwoord van mevr. Bonino namens de Commissie (12 juni 1998) In mei 1995 heeft de Commissie krachtens Richtlijn 93/99/EEG betreffende aanvullende maatregelen inzake de officiºle controle op levensmiddelen (1) de bevoegde autoriteiten haar verslag doen toekomen over de beoorde- ling van de officiºle controlesystemen voor levensmiddelen in Italiº. Bij die gelegenheid had de Commissie te kennen gegeven dat zij graag een grotere co(cid:246)rdinatie tussen de verschillende controle- en inspectiediensten tot stand gebracht zou zien. Er zij echter op gewezen dat de organisatie van de controlediensten tot de bevoegdheid van de lidstaten behoort. De Commissie is in ieder geval van mening dat, wanneer er overtredingen worden geconstateerd, er maatregelen moeten worden genomen om de consument te beschermen en meer in het algemeen de naleving van de wetgeving te waarborgen. (1) PB L 290 van 24. 11. 1993. (98/C 386/171) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1425/98 van Karin J(cid:246)ns (PSE) aan de Commissie (11 mei 1998) Betreft: Voorstellen tot regeling van bepaalde arbeidsbetrekkingen De Commissie heeft in Publicatieblad C 40 van 7. 2. 1998 medegedeeld dat zij het (cid:132)voorstel voor een richtlijn van het Europees Parlement en de Raad betreffende bepaalde arbeidsbetrekkingen en de concurrentievervalsing(cid:148) intrekt, hoewel niet alle in dit voorstel opgenomen aspecten in een communautaire regeling zijn uitgemond. Kan de Commissie de redenen aangeven die haar tot het intrekken van het hierboven genoemde voorstel 1. hebben bewogen? 2. Welke stappen denkt de Commissie te nemen om de aspecten van het voorstel die niet intussen zijn geregeld, aan een regeling te onderwerpen? 3. Deelt de Commissie de mening dat met name op het gebied van de sociale bescherming dringend gestreefd moet worden naar communautaire regels voor deeltijdwerk, voor aanstelling voor een bepaalde termijn en voor uitzendwerk/tijdelijk werk, om ervoor te zorgen dat niet wordt gediscrimineerd tegenover personen met een vaste voltijdbaan? Antwoord van de heer Flynn namens de Commissie (6 juli 1998) 1. Het voorstel betreffende concurrentievervalsing heeft meer dan zeven jaar bij de Raad gelegen. Uit de discussies op het niveau van de Raad is gebleken, dat dit voorstel geen kans maakte om ooit door de Raad te worden aangenomen. 2. Bij de Raad ligt nog steeds een voorstel ter tafel voor een richtlijn betreffende bepaalde arbeidsbetrekkingen en de arbeidsvoorwaarden op basis van artikel 100 van het EG-Verdrag (1). De sociale partners zijn onder- handelingen begonnen over overeenkomsten voor bepaalde duur, in aansluiting op hun overeenkomst over deeltijdarbeid. De Commissie wacht het resultaat af van de discussie over andere dan standaardarbeidsovereenkomsten, 3. alvorens verdere actie te overwegen. (1) PB C 224 van 8. 9. 1990

text: 18. 1. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 13/33 Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (11 June 1998) 1. The request was made by letter to France dated 17 December 1997. The French authorities replied on 8 April 1998 providing detailed observations on the recent developments 2. which have occurred in relation to the problem and the various actions taken. 3. The Commission will in due course examine what further action to take in the light of this reply. (1999/C 13/045) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1418/98 by Riccardo Nencini (PSE) to the Council (11 May 1998) Subject: Collective redundancy Collective redundancy proceedings involving about 40 individuals are under way at the company (cid:145)Replay(cid:146), which manufactures plastic products and is based in Scarperia in the province of Florence. The owner, S. P. Metal, whose head office is in Paris, sold the company to A. C. P. Plastic, whose head office is in England, while mobility procedures in respect of workers were under way. The company(cid:146)s management appears to have failed to comply with the Council Directive of 17. 2. 1975 and subsequent amendments, and with the Council Directive of 14. 2. 1977 and subsequent amendments, in particular Articles 3, 4, and 6. Does the Council intend to investigate the possible failure by the management of the company (cid:145)Replay(cid:146) to comply with the afore-mentioned directives? Reply (24 September 1998) The Council is not empowered to give an opinion on infringements of Community legislation. It is for the Commission to ensure application of Community law, possibly with Court of Justice supervision. (1999/C 13/046) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1440/98 by JosØ Garc(cid:237)a-Margallo y Marfil (PPE) to the Commission (11 May 1998) Subject: Euro 1999 The Commission Report on progress towards convergence and recommendation with a view to the transition to the third stage of economic and monetary union (COM(98) 1999 final, 25. 03. 1998, p. 78) asserts that the Member States(cid:146) pleasing performance on the inflation front is due to factors such as wage restraint and the consequent reasonable rise in unit labour costs. In the Commission(cid:146)s view, how likely is it that moderate inflation rates can be maintained if France introduces labour reform by reducing working time to 35 hours a week? Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission (10 July 1998) Inflation trends in the Member States depend on a variety of factors. On the domestic front, these include unit labour costs, profit margins and changes in indirect taxes. Where external factors are concerned, inflation is linked among other things to movements in exchange rates and commodity prices

text: C 96/6 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 8. 4. 1999 With a view to subsidiarity and to avoid excessive rigidity in implementation, provision is not made in the Objective 5(b) SPDs to allocate funding below the measure level › the base on which the programme rests. Such allocation, where appropriate, is the exclusive responsibility of the authority responsible for implementation. (1999/C 96/008) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1424/98 by Frode Kristoffersen (PPE) to the Commission (11 May 1998) Subject: Implementation of the PHARE programme Does the Commission think that the existing PHARE programme meets its objective in view of the criticism that in its present state it does not have access to sufficient technical expertise? This shortcoming, according to critics, provides an opportunity to favour certain firms because competing firms do not have sufficient possibility to discuss the function and properties of their products at the relevant technical level with those who write the invitations to tender. Does the detailed procedure for honouring contracts work in a satisfactory and timely fashion? Answer given by Mr van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (12 June 1998) The Commission has sufficient access to technical expertise through both internal and external experts. The latter are called upon when appropriate. Procedures for tendering were strengthened in 1997. The Commission also introduced standard tendering and contract documentation for PHARE in 1997. This provides for greater rigour in several areas, including tender evaluation procedure, the composition of tender evaluation committees, the feedback provided to bidders and stricter rules to avoid conflicts of interest. In implementing Phare, the Commission respects the provisions of the Financial Regulation (1) including open tendering for works and supply contracts. For service contracts the provisions of Article 118 of the Financial Regulation (as revised in October 1995) (2) apply to ensure that all potential service suppliers have the opportunity to compete on an equal basis. Once a programme has been approved, its summary contents and budget breakdown are published in the Official journal followed by a more detailed description published on the Internet at the moment of tendering of individual service projects. This helps to ensure that all firms have equal access to relevant information. Potential service suppliers are invited to express their interest in project implementation. Firms which meet the minimum standards required for pre-qualification will subsequently be eligible to be short-listed. Speedy contracting is a constant goal, but the Commission is also committed to ensuring that competition is fair, and cannot and will not compromise on transparency requirements. Sufficient time must be allowed for contracting and tendering to take place with the required level of transparency and fairness. (1) OJ L 356, 31. 12. 1977. (2) OJ L 240, 7. 10. 1995.

Kokonaisia kylia¤ on ja¤a¤nyt saarroksiin tai maa- ja mutavyo¤ryjen alle, valtaisat vuorilta la¤hto¤isin olevat maanvyo¤ryma¤t ovat ja¤tta¤neet alleen taloja ja teita¤, tuhansia ihmisia¤ on ja¤a¤nyt kodittomiksi, huomattavan ma¤a¤ra¤n ihmisia¤ on jo vahvistettu kuolleen ja useita on yha¤ kateissa.

Quali misure sta adottando la Commissione per far fronte a tale emergenza? Quale assistenza sta offrendo la Commissione alla ricerca sui modi in cui la tubercolosi potrebbe essere controllata e curata? Risposta del sig. Flynn a nome della Commissione (29 maggio 1998) La Commissione Ł consapevole dell(cid:146)aumento dell(cid:146)incidenza della tubercolosi (TB) e dei fattori associati a questo fenomeno, ivi compresa la disgregazione dei sistemi sanitari,il deterioramento delle condizioni socio-economi- che e le prassi inadeguate che comportano la formazione di ceppi batterici resistenti. Tramite il programma comunitario sull(cid:146)AIDS e altre malattie contagiose, la Commissione sostiene progetti di sorveglianza e risposta relativi alla tubercolosi, ai quali partecipano tutti gli Stati membri. Questi progetti hanno lo scopo di migliorare le possibilit(cid:224) di lotta contro questa malattia da parte degli Stati membri. Nel quadro dell(cid:146)allargamento comunitario, i paesi candidati dell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale sono stati incoraggiati a partecipare a questi e ad altri programmi d(cid:146)azione in materia di sanit(cid:224) pubblica (aperti ai paesi dell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale, Malta e Cipro). Inoltre,nel contesto della task force Comunit(cid:224)-Stati Uniti,la Commissione coopera in questo campo con gli Stati Uniti e con le organizzazioni internazionali, in particolare l(cid:146)organizzazione mondiale della sanit(cid:224) (OMS) e la Banca mondiale. Per quanto riguarda la ricerca sulla tubercolosi, il programma Biomed attualmente finanzia 7 progetti, per un totale di 3. 25 MECU, relativi alla messa a punto di una vaccinazione, allo sviluppo di una nuova generazione di farmaci per combattere i ceppi resistenti attualmente in circolazione,nonchØ un progetto sull(cid:146)epidemiologia della tubercolosi. Nell(cid:146)ambito del V(cid:176) programma di ricerca ci sono ulteriori possibilit(cid:224) di ricerca sulla tubercolosi, dal momento che ci sar(cid:224) un(cid:146)azione chiave sulle malattie infettive. (98/C 402/176) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-1427/98 di Astrid Thors (ELDR) alla Commissione (29 aprile 1998) Oggetto: Legislazione francese in materia di tecniche di cifratura La legislazione francese limita notevolmente il ricorso alle tecniche di cifratura, come indicato nella comuni- cazione della Commissione concernente le firme digitali e la cifratura. Due testi legislativi entrati di recente in vigore in Francia fissano le condizioni di utilizzazione delle tecniche in questione e assoggettano il settore ad una procedura di registrazione o di licenza. Fra le restrizioni si pu(cid:242) citare il «Third Trusted Party» (TTP, terzi di fiducia), la cui nomina Ł una condizione prevista perchØ la cifratura sia autorizzata; la sua gestione dev(cid:146)essere effettuata da una maggioranza di cittadini francesi. D(cid:146)altro lato, le «chiavi» di cifratura debbono essere depositate presso tale TTP, il che potrebbe avere come conseguenza che i messaggi disponibili su computer in forma cifrata non possono essere utilizzati legalmente in Francia. La Commissione ritiene che le disposizioni e la situazione sopra illustrata siano compatibili con le norme del mercato interno e, se no, quali misure intende adottare per garantire che anche sul territorio francese esista la possibilit(cid:224) di offrire servizi, garantendo la confidenzialit(cid:224) dei servizi?
