text: C 297/16 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 15. 10. 1999 (1999/C 297/020) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2390/98 by John McCartin (PPE) to the Commission (27 July 1998) Subject: Value of fish caught in Community waters Can the Commission indicate the total value of fish caught in EU waters in the most recent year for which figures are available? Can it indicate the value and quantity of fish caught within the Irish 200-mile limit (most recent year for which data is available) and by which fishing fleets this catch was landed? Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission (24 September 1998) The figure for nominal catches (defined by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the Commission as the equivalent live weight of the quantities landed) was 7,7 million tonnes (including aquaculture) for the EU-15 in 1995. This information is given on page 15 and subsequent pages of the statistical bulletin sent direct to the Honourable Member and to the Secretariat-General of Parliament. Developments over the past ten years are also given for each Member State, for the main fishing zones and for the most important species. The value of EU-15 landings was ECU 7 224 million in 1995 (see Chapter 4, page 19 et seq. of the statistical bulletin). The Commission does not have data on the catches made in Ireland’s 200 mile zone nor on the boats fishing there. The statistics are produced on the basis of the rectangles defined by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). These rectangles do not coincide with exclusive economic areas defined by a 200 mile limit. (1999/C 297/021) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2392/98 by John McCartin (PPE) to the Commission (27 July 1998) Subject: Restrictions on movements of domestic pets Is the Commission aware of the restrictions on the movement of domestic pets between Ireland and other parts of the EU, and does it agree that these restrictions are unjustified on scientific grounds, that they are unnecessary and that they are contrary to the principle of free movement of persons and their property? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (24 September 1998) The Commission is aware of the problems which the Honourable Member has mentioned concerning rabies quarantine regulations. An alternative system to quarantine in Ireland has been applicable from 1 July 1994, for traded dogs and cats entering the Member State. This system involves vaccination and blood testing plus certification that the traded dogs and cats have been reared in isolation. The dogs and cats must be electronically identified

text: C 96/86 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee IT 8. 4. 1999 Il regime di aiuti non riguarda quindi tutti i prodotti trasformati a base di pesche e pere, in particolare non si applica ai prodotti privi o a basso tenore di zucchero. In effetti il regime Ł inteso a sostenere i produttori comunitari di pere e di pesche, che beneficiano in tal modo di prezzi superiori a quelli versati nei paesi terzi per prodotti concorrenti. Inoltre, a causa delle ingenti quantit(cid:224) di materie prime disponibili e dell(cid:146)elasticit(cid:224) delle capacit(cid:224) di trasforma- zione, il Consiglio ha previsto limiti di garanzia per il regime di aiuti onde evitare un aumento di queste produzioni. Ne consegue che l(cid:146)estensione del beneficio dell(cid:146)aiuto comunitario sarebbe in contrasto con gli obiettivi stabiliti dal Consiglio quando ha istituito il regime di aiuti suddetto. La Commissione non intende pertanto presentare una proposta in tal senso. (1) GU L 297 del 21. 11. 1996. (2) GU L 78 del 20. 3. 1997. (1999/C 96/120) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2388/98 di Allan Macartney (ARE) alla Commissione (27 luglio 1998) Oggetto: Libert(cid:224) di culto in Pakistan Considerando la condanna a morte recentemente pronunciata nei confronti di Ayub Masih, pu(cid:242) la Commissione comunicare se ritiene che in Pakistan vi sia una sufficiente protezione delle libert(cid:224) religiose, indicando altres(cid:236) se vengono adottate iniziative per controllare le condizioni cui sono sottoposti i gruppi religiosi minoritari? Risposta data dal sig. Mar(cid:237)n a nome della Commissione (15 settembre 1998) Attraverso la delegazione di Islamabad, la Commissione ha seguito da vicino il caso di Ayub Masih e ha espresso la propria profonda costernazione per la morte dell(cid:146)arcivescovo di Faisalabad. La Commissione ha partecipato ad una missione d(cid:146)inchiesta a Faisalabad e Sahiwal e ha incontrato il personale della diocesi, la famiglia di Ayub Masih e la comunit(cid:224) cristiana locale. Il 14 maggio 1998, la troika dell(cid:146)Unione ha presentato al ministro della Giustizia pakistano una protesta formale riguardo alle leggi sulla blasfemia e ha espresso la sua profonda inquietudine riguardo alla vigenza della pena di morte per i casi di blasfemia, sottolineando la necessit(cid:224) di adottare adeguate misure al fine di evitare abusi. In teoria, nella legislazione possono coesistere tutela della libert(cid:224) religiosa e legge sulla blasfemia. Il problema sta nel modo in cui tale legislazione Ł applicata, nei possibili abusi e nel livello delle punizioni previste. BenchØ attualmente la costituzione pakistana garantisca la libert(cid:224) di religione, i gruppi religiosi minoritari temono che un(cid:146)islamizzazione dello Stato possa restringere ulteriormente tale libert(cid:224). Inoltre, la pena di morte per i casi di blasfemia pu(cid:242) essere usata come minaccia ed intimidazione per i gruppi minoritari. La Commissione annette una grande importanza a tutte le questioni relative ai diritti umani in Pakistan e quindi anche alla tutela della libert(cid:224) di religione. La Commissione continuer(cid:224) quindi a sorvegliare da vicino la situazione e a partecipare a tutte le azioni volte al miglioramento delle condizioni dei diritti umani nel paese

text: 5. 2. 1999 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 31/139 (1999/C 31/192) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2330/98 di John McCartin (PPE) alla Commissione (27 luglio 1998) Oggetto: Agenzia di Grange Pu(cid:242) la Commissione far sapere se sono stati gi(cid:224) ultimati i contratti per l(cid:146)apertura a Grange dell(cid:146)Agenzia di ispezione e controllo veterinario e fitosanitario e quando si prevede che avr(cid:224) luogo il trasloco dalla sistemazione provvisoria, cosicchØ l(cid:146)Agenzia possa iniziare ad applicare a pieno ritmo il suo programma di lavoro? Risposta data dal sig. Liikanen a nome della Commissione (17 settembre 1998) La Commissione desidera innanzitutto sottolineare che l(cid:146)Ufficio alimentare e veterinario (UAV) Ł parte integrante dei propri servizi e costituisce una direzione della Direzione generale Politica dei consumatori e protezione della loro salute. Per quanto riguarda il progetto Grange, i contratti tra la Commissione e le autorit(cid:224) irlandesi (Ufficio dei lavori pubblici) relativi alla sede dell(cid:146)UAV non sono stati ancora ultimati. I contratti sono tuttavia in una fase avanzata di elaborazione e si prevede che verranno sottoscritti entro la fine del 1998. Il tempo necessario per il completamento degli edifici a Grange Ł di 18 mesi. Si pu(cid:242) pertanto ragionevolmente calcolare che l(cid:146)UAV sar(cid:224) operativo nella nuova sede al piø tardi alla fine del 2000. (1999/C 31/193) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-2346/98 di FrØdØric Striby (I-EDN) alla Commissione (13 luglio 1998) Oggetto: Voli notturni di aeromobili e misure in materia di inquinamento acustico La Commissione europea doveva, su richiesta del Parlamento europeo (risoluzione del 10 giugno 1997 relativa al Libro Verde «Politiche future in materia di inquinamento acustico» (1) adottare iniziative concrete per limitare il livello delle emissioni sonore degli aeroporti dell(cid:146)Unione europea (limitazione del rumore degli aeromobili, riduzione dei voli notturni). Taluni cittadini sono infatti particolarmente disturbati, se non esasperati, dai voli notturni e si mobilitano ovunque in Europa. Pu(cid:242) dire la Commissione se ha gi(cid:224) adottato misure vincolanti e, in caso affermativo, quali? Quali tipi di automobili saranno interessati? (1) doc.
