(2000/C 303 E/011) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1766/99 by Ant(cid:243)nio Campos (PSE) to the Commission (11 October 1999) Subject: The common agricultural policy In his investiture speech, concerning the use of Union funds, as well as full cooperation with Parliament. the Commission undertook to ensure full the President of transparency In the interests of the promised transparency and cooperation, can the Commission provide information on the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. the level of total annual expenditure under the EAGGF (Guarantee), together with a list of the hundred biggest beneficiaries in each Member State; the percentage of total EAGGF (Guarantee) payments to each Member State corresponding to those hundred beneficiaries; the number of farmers benefiting from EAGGF (Guarantee) support in each Member State; the total number of farmers in each Member State. Supplementary answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (16 December 1999) The breakdown, by Member State, of European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (Guarantee Section) expenditure for the 1998 financial year (cid:129) the latest year for which figures are available (cid:129) is: Member State EAGGF expenditure (million euro) Belgium Denmark Germany Greece Spain France Ireland Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Austria Portugal Finland Sweden United Kingdom European Union (direct expendi- ture) 851,3 1 154,0 5 553,0 2 556,8 5 293,5 9 007,2 1 632,6 4 129,2 17,4 1 372,7 842,5 637,4 575,7 770,1 4 314,2 40,3 Total 38 748,1 24. 10. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 303 E/15 For further particulars, the Honourable Member should please refer to the 28th Financial Report on the EAGGF Guarantee Section (1) (which contains detailed information about the 1998 financial year). The Commission nevertheless wishes to draw the Honourable Member(cid:146)s attention to the fact that the legal system which governs the charging of Community agricultural aid to the Community budget and, more specifically, to the EAGGF Guarantee Section (Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of the Council of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 of 16 February 1996 on data to be forwarded by the Member States and the monthly booking of expenditure financed under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88 (3)) provides for extensive delegation of tasks to the paying agencies in the Member States. It is therefore the paying agencies (accredited by Member States in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of the accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section (4)) which undertake direct management of agricultural aid requests and which, consequently, hold all the information on recipients. The Commission, on the other hand, does not have the information requested by the Honourable Member. For monitoring purposes, it receives from Member States the accounting data specifically stipulated in the rules. While it would be possible to process those data in order to show individual aid recipients, the Community rules on personal data protection (which, by virtue of Article 286 (formerly Article 213b) of the EC Treaty, are binding on the Community institutions) would not permit the Commission to disclose that information. The Commission knows how many requests for assistance are submitted in each agricultural sector (which does not necessarily correspond to the number of farmers receiving Community aid, since a given farmer may ask for support from several aid schemes available under the common agricultural policy). The Honourable Member should refer to the 28th Financial Report for the information requested on this point. Lastly, according to the Commission(cid:146)s figures, the Community(cid:146)s agricultural sector (comprising agriculture, forestry, hunting and fisheries) employs 7,434 million people: Member State Agricultural sector jobs (in 1 000) Belgium Denmark Germany Greece Spain France Ireland Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Austria Portugal Finland Sweden United Kingdom 102 100 1 039 765 1 055 1 029 149 1 307 4 251 249 601 164 127 493 7 434 Total (1) COM(1999) 568 final.

(2000/C 303 E/011) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1766/99 van Ant(cid:243)nio Campos (PSE) aan de Commissie (11 oktober 1999) Betreft: Gemeenschappelijk landbouwbeleid De Voorzitter van de Commissie heeft tijdens de benoemingsplechtigheid toegezegd te zullen streven naar volledige transparantie ten aanzien van de financiºle middelen van de Unie evenals naar samenwerking met het Europees Parlement. In het licht van het voorgaande wordt de Commissie derhalve om de volgende inlichtingen verzocht: 1. Hoeveel middelen worden jaarlijks door het EOGFL-Garantie aan de 100 belangrijkste begunstigden in iedere lidstaat overgemaakt? 2. Welk percentage van de middelen die iedere lidstaat van het EOGFL-Garantie ontvangt is bestemd voor de 100 belangrijkste begunstigden? 3. Hoeveel landbouwers ontvangen in iedere lidstaat steun uit hoofde van het EOGFL-Garantie? 4. Hoeveel landbouwers zijn er per lidstaat? Aanvullend antwoord van de heer Fischler namens de Commissie (16 december 1999) De uitgaven uit het Europees Oriºntatie- en Garantiefonds voor de Landbouw (cid:129) afdeling Garantie, waren in het meest recente jaar waarover gegevens beschikbaar zijn, namelijk het begrotingsjaar 1998, als volgt over de lidstaten verdeeld: Lidstaat EOGFL-uitgaven (in miljoen €) Belgiº Denemarken Duitsland Griekenland Spanje Frankrijk Ierland Italiº Luxemburg Nederland Oostenrijk Portugal Finland Zweden Verenigd Koninkrijk Unie (directe uitgaven) 851,3 1 154,0 5 553,0 2 556,8 5 293,5 9 007,2 1 632,6 4 129,2 17,4 1 372,7 842,5 637,4 575,7 770,1 4 314,2 40,3 Totaal 38 748,1 24. 10. 2000 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen C 303 E/15 Voor nadere bijzonderheden wordt het geachte parlementslid verwezen naar het 28ste financieel verslag (1) van de afdeling Garantie van het EOGFL, waarin gedetailleerde gegevens over het begrotingsjaar 1998 te vinden zijn. De Commissie wenst het geachte parlementslid er overigens opmerkzaam op te maken dat de regelgeving betreffende de financiering van communautaire steun voor de landbouw uit de Gemeenschapsbegroting en in het bijzonder uit het EOGFL-afdeling Garantie (Verordeningen (EEG) nr. 729/70 van de Raad van 21 april 1970 betreffende de financiering van het gemeenschappelijk landbouwbeleid (2) en (EG) nr. 296/ 96 van de Commissie van 16 februari 1996 betreffende de door de lidstaten te verstrekken gegevens en de maandelijkse boeking van de uit de afdeling Garantie van het Europees Oriºntatie- en Garantiefonds voor de Landbouw (EOGFL) gefinancierde uitgaven, alsmede tot intrekking van Verordening (EEG) nr. 2776/ 88 (3)) voorziet in verregaande delegering van de taken aan de betaalorganen van de lidstaten. Dit betekent in concreto dat deze betaalorganen (erkend door de lidstaten onder de voorwaarden en criteria van Verordening (EG) nr. 1663/95 van de Commissie van 7 juli 1995 houdende uitvoeringsbepalingen van Verordening (EEG) nr. 729/70 van de Raad aangaande de procedure inzake de goedkeuring van de rekeningen van het EOGFL, afdeling Garantie (4)) de aanvragen voor landbouwsteun beheren en beschikken over alle gegevens betreffende de begunstigden. De Commissie daarentegen, heeft de gegevens die het geachte parlementslid vraagt niet ter beschikking. Voor controledoeleinden worden haar door de lidstaten boekhoudkundige gegevens verstrekt die in de regelgeving nauwkeurig worden omschreven. De mogelijkheid bestaat deze gegevens te bewerken om de begunstigden van de steun te identificeren. De communautaire bepalingen betreffende de bescherming van persoonsgegevens, die overeenkomstig artikel 286 (ex-article 213B) van het EG-Verdrag op de instellingen van de Gemeenschap van toepassing zijn, staan de Commissie niet toe dergelijke gegevens openbaar te maken. Wat betreft het aantal landbouwers in de Gemeenschap dat steun ontvangt, is het zo dat de Commissie weet hoeveel steunaanvragen er in elke landbouwsector zijn ingediend, wat niet noodzakelijk gelijk is aan het aantal landbouwers dat steun ontvangt. Een landbouwer kan immers aanvragen indienen voor meer dan ØØn steunregeling in het kader van het gemeenschappelijk landbouwbeleid. Het geachte parlementslid wordt verzocht het 28ste financieel verslag te raadplegen, waar de gevraagde gegevens te vinden zijn. Wat de laatste vraag betreft, kan worden meegedeeld dat de agrarische sector in de Gemeenschap (landbouw, bosbouw, jacht en visvangst) werkgelegenheid verschaft aan 7,434 miljoen personen (gegevens waarover de Commissie beschikt), als volgt verdeeld: Lidstaat Werkgelegenheid (1000 personen) Belgiº Denemarken Duitsland Griekenland Spanje Frankrijk Ierland Italiº Luxemburg Nederland Oostenrijk Portugal Finland Zweden Verenigd Koninkrijk Totaal 102 100 1 039 765 1 055 1 029 149 1 307 4 251 249 601 164 127 493 7 434 (1) COM(1999) 568 def.

La Commissione cerca sempre di massimizzare i benefici che possono essere ottenuti dalle limitate risorse di cui dispone in termini di personale. 4. Nei casi in cui una misura o un impegno di risorse abbiano conseguenze in termini di sicurezza stradale, la Commissione, come in passato, intende assicurare che da essi derivino i massimi benefici possibili. 5. 6.

text: C 170 E/102 Amtsblatt der Europ(cid:228)ischen Gemeinschaften DE 20. 6. 2000 (2000/C 170 E/118) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-1794/99 von Michiel van Hulten (PSE) an die Kommission (11. Oktober 1999) Betrifft: Artikel in (cid:132)HP De Tijd(cid:147) vom 27. August 1999 (cid:252)ber das Praktikantenprogramm der Europ(cid:228)ischen Kommission Ist der Kommission der Artikel (cid:132)Papa, ich habe gelernt, wie Lobbying funktioniert(cid:147) in der nieder- 1. l(cid:228)ndischen Wochenzeitschrift (cid:132)HP De Tijd(cid:147) vom 27. August 1999 (cid:252)ber das Praktikantenprogramm der Europ(cid:228)ischen Kommission bekannt? Trifft die Behauptung einer ehemaligen Teilnehmerin an dem Praktikantenprogramm, einer Frau 2. Dabertrand, zu, da(cid:223) Praktikanten im Generalsekretariat der Europ(cid:228)ischen Kommission geringf(cid:252)gigere Beihilfeantr(cid:228)ge bis zur H(cid:246)he von Euro 50 000 beurteilen d(cid:252)rfen? Falls ja, worauf beziehen sich die Beihilfeantr(cid:228)ge und um wieviele Antr(cid:228)ge pro Jahr handelt es sich? 3. Trifft die Behauptung von Frau Dabertrand zu, da(cid:223) Beihilfeantr(cid:228)ge automatisch abgelehnt werden, wenn der Antragsteller zu viele Angaben macht, wenn bestimmte Formalit(cid:228)ten nicht eingehalten werden oder wenn der Antrag nicht in der Sprache des Antragstellers gestellt wird? Falls ja, um welche Beihilfe- antr(cid:228)ge handelt es sich? Sind die Antragsteller dar(cid:252)ber unterrichtet, da(cid:223) ihre Antr(cid:228)ge aus formalistischen Gr(cid:252)nden abgewiesen werden? 4. Aus dem Artikel geht hervor, da(cid:223) bei der Auswahl von Praktikanten die Sprachenkenntnisse der Bewerber, wie sie in ihrem Lebenslauf angegeben sind, nicht gepr(cid:252)ft werden. Auch soll die Einweisung von Praktikanten in die einzelnen Dienststellen der Kommission insbesondere aufgrund von Pa(cid:223)bildern erfolgen. Gedenkt die Kommission das Auswahlverfahren f(cid:252)r Praktikanten in der Weise zu (cid:228)ndern, da(cid:223) die Auswahl ausschlie(cid:223)lich aufgrund nachgewiesener Qualifikationen erfolgt, und die Verwendung von Pa(cid:223)bildern bei der Auswahl abzuschaffen? Antwort von Frau Reding im Namen der Kommission (10. November 1999) 1. Die Kommission ist f(cid:252)r den Hinweis auf den Artikel in HP De Tijd dankbar. Sie bedauert sehr, da(cid:223) eine Reihe ihrer Bediensteten und Praktikanten in diesem Artikel absichtlich falsch zitiert und ihre Aussagen fehlerhaft dargestellt worden sind. Mehrere der in dem Artikel erw(cid:228)hnten Praktikanten haben der Kommission mitgeteilt, da(cid:223) sie bei dem betreffenden Wochenblatt energisch protestieren werden, da es sich bei den ihnen zugeschriebenen Bemerkungen und Praktiken in den meisten F(cid:228)llen um eine reine Erfindung handle. Frau Dabertrand ist in der Folgezeit von ihrem fr(cid:252)heren Referatsleiter befragt worden. Die ihr 2. zugeschriebene, aber von ihr energisch dementierte Behauptung, da(cid:223) Praktikanten im Generalsekretariat der Kommission (cid:252)ber geringf(cid:252)gige Beihilfeantr(cid:228)ge bis zur H(cid:246)he von 50 000 Euro entscheiden d(cid:252)rfen, ist v(cid:246)llig unzutreffend. Kein Praktikant ist jemals in irgendeinem Stadium des Auswahlverfahrens f(cid:252)r Beihilfe- antr(cid:228)ge beteiligt gewesen. 3. Da(cid:223) Beihilfeantr(cid:228)ge automatisch abgelehnt w(cid:252)rden, wenn die Antragsteller (cid:132)zu viele(cid:147) Angaben machen, au(cid:223)erhalb der vorgesehenen Felder schreiben oder wenn die Antr(cid:228)ge nicht in der Sprache des Antragstellers gestellt werden, ist v(cid:246)llig unzutreffend. Frau Dabertrand bestreitet ebenfalls, da(cid:223) sie die Quelle dieser falschen Informationen gewesen sei. 4. Bei der Auswahl ihrer Praktikanten geht die Kommission nach einem strengen und systematischen Pr(cid:252)fverfahren vor. Ma(cid:223)gebend sind dabei die wissenschaftlichen Qualifikationen der Praktikanten sowie ihre einschl(cid:228)gigen Erfahrungen und ihre Sprachkenntnisse. Jede Bewerbung wird von einer Vorauswahl- gruppe f(cid:252)r jede Nationalit(cid:228)t gepr(cid:252)ft, der erfahrene Kommissionsbedienstete dieser Nationalit(cid:228)t angeh(cid:246)ren. Eine der vielen Unrichtigkeiten in dem Artikel bezieht sich auf die Behauptung, die Bewerber m(cid:252)(cid:223)ten Pa(cid:223)bilder beim Auswahlverfahren vorlegen. In keiner Phase des Einstellungsverfahrens m(cid:252)ssen die Bewerber ein Pa(cid:223)bild von sich vorlegen

O projecto nªo contou com o estudo obrigat(cid:243)rio sobre o impacto ambiental e de seguran(cid:231)a para as popula(cid:231)ıes pr(cid:243)ximas, podendo destruir uma parte sens(cid:237)vel do patrim(cid:243)nio cultural e natural e do potencial tur(cid:237)stico da comarca. Este projecto foi rejeitado por uma esmagadora maioria dos cidadªos afectados (os quais sofreram mesmo uma repressªo violenta nas manifesta(cid:231)ıes pac(cid:237)ficas), dando lugar a relat(cid:243)rios negativos do Valedor (Provedor de Justi(cid:231)a) do Povo da Galiza, e sendo objecto de uma senten(cid:231)a do Tribunal Superior de Justi(cid:231)a da Galiza que ordenou a paralisa(cid:231)ªo das obras e a devolu(cid:231)ªo das mesmas aos seus proprietÆrios, senten(cid:231)a que o Governo galego ignorou ilegalmente. A Comissªo Europeia vai tomar, como Ø exig(cid:237)vel, as medidas pol(cid:237)ticas e econ(cid:243)micas frente ao Governo galego para impedir a continua(cid:231)ªo das obras da barragem do Umia, restituindo a situa(cid:231)ªo original, para evitar assim os graves preju(cid:237)zos que, no caso contrÆrio, sofreria a popula(cid:231)ªo afectada? Resposta dada pela ComissÆria Wallstr(cid:246)m em nome da Comissªo (10 de Dezembro de 1999) A pergunta do Senhor Deputado refere-se (cid:224) constru(cid:231)ªo de uma barragem no rio Umia, pr(cid:243)ximo do munic(cid:237)pio de Caldas de Reis, na Galiza, que jÆ foi objecto da peti(cid:231)ªo 79/98, tambØm apresentada pelo Senhor Deputado.

text: 20. 6. 2000 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 170 E/107 La Commissione ha ritenuto necessario prevedere misure supplementari per garantire un passaggio graduale verso l(cid:146)euro fiduciario. Il 23 aprile 1998, con raccomandazione 98/0286/CE (1), la Commissione ha quindi raccomandato che le banche commerciali effettuino il cambio senza spese per i clienti di banconote e monete metalliche nazionali in banconote e monete metalliche euro per importi di «ammontare abituale». Quanto al secondo aspetto del problema, occorre innanzitutto precisare che, attualmente, il cambio di monete metalliche nazionali di uno Stato membro in un altro Stato membro non Ł generalmente possibile in nessuno degli Stati della zona euro. Si tratta quindi di studiare se sia il caso di predisporre un servizio supplementare in occasione dell(cid:146)introduzione delle monete e delle banconote in euro, di accertare quali ne sarebbero i costi e le modalit(cid:224) e stabilire chi ne dovrebbe sostenere gli oneri. Tenuto conto dei problemi la conversione in tutta la zona euro richiederebbe logistici particolari dell(cid:146)utilizzazione delle monete, probabilmente notevoli risorse. D(cid:146)altra parte, il valore delle monete metalliche nazionali Ł in generale limitato e offre quindi poche prospettive di remunerazione a chi decidesse di offrire questo servizio. La Commissione Ł tuttavia consapevole del problema e sta studiando le modalit(cid:224) per intraprendere una riflessione in materia con il Sistema europeo delle banche centrali (SEBC) e gli Stati membri, in vista di una soluzione economicamente ragionevole e soddisfacente per i cittadini europei. (1) COM(98) 961 def. (2000/C 170 E/125) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-1814/99 di Luciana Sbarbati (ELDR) alla Commissione (11 ottobre 1999) Oggetto: Difesa dei prodotti alimentari artigianali italiani Conformemente agli impegni presi dall(cid:146)Unione europea, alcune direttive verticali nel campo dei prodotti alimentari vengono semplificate al tener conto solo dei requisiti essenziali ai quali devono fine di rispondere tali prodotti affinchØ possano circolare liberamente nel mercato interno. Pu(cid:242) la Commissione dire in che misura gli standard di qualit(cid:224) e di igiene previsti in tali direttive sono in grado di non ostacolare lo sviluppo e la salvaguardia di produzioni artigianali tradizionali che non solo fanno parte del patrimonio culturale di un paese e offrono prodotti di alta qualit(cid:224), ma costituiscono altres(cid:236) un settore importante sia da un punto di vista economico e occupazionale, sia per quanto riguarda la difesa dei consumatori? Pu(cid:242) la Commissione dire quali misure intende prendere per impedire che sia arrecato un gran danno alle imprese artigiane italiane in diversi settori della produzione agro-alimentare (salame di Fabriano, formaggio di Fossa, lardo di Colonnata, miele, pasta, pane, cioccolato, ecc. ) a vantaggio delle multinazionali che lavorano a livello industriale ma offrono una qualit(cid:224) piø bassa? Risposta data dal sig. Liikanen in nome della Commissione (4 novembre 1999) Uno degli obiettivi della legislazione comunitaria sui prodotti alimentari Ł quello di garantire la protezione della salute pubblica mediante norme in materia di igiene e controllo. Queste norme devono essere rispettate da tutti i produttori, siano essi di taglia artigianale oppure industriale. La Commissione non ha indicazioni che permettano di affermare che queste disposizioni, in vigore da anni, ostacolano lo sviluppo e la salvaguardia di produzioni artigianali o hanno l(cid:146)effetto di abbassarne la qualit(cid:224). Inoltre, il regolamento (CEE) 2081/92 del Consiglio, del 14 luglio 1992, relativo alla protezione delle indicazioni geografiche e delle denominazioni di origine dei prodotti agricoli ed alimentari (1) e il regolamento (CEE) 2082/92 del Consiglio, del 14 luglio 1992, relativo alle attestazioni di specificit(cid:224) dei prodotti agricoli e alimentari (2) permettono di promuovere e proteggere i prodotti tradizionali se questi sono conformi ai requisiti stabiliti. Un gran numero di prodotti agroalimentari, spesso provenienti da imprese di dimensione artigianale, beneficiano cos(cid:236) della protezione della loro denominazione a livello comunitario.

Εάν, εντός µιας εργάσιµης ηµέρας από την παραλαβή της εν λόγω κοινοποίησης, ένα κράτος µέλος ή η Επιτροπή διαβιβάσουν στα άλλα κράτη µέλη ή στην Επιτροπή στοιχεία που αποδεικνύουν ότι η προβλεπόµενη πτήση δεν θα εξυπηρετήσει τους αναγραφόµενους ανθρωπιστικούς σκοπούς, η Επιτροπή, εντός µιας εργάσιµης ηµέρας από την προαναφερθείσα κοινοποίηση, συγκαλεί συνεδρίαση µε τα κράτη µέλη προκειµένου να διαβουλευθούν για τα σχετικά στοι- χεία. Το κράτος µέλος που προτίθεται να επιτρέψει την απογείωση ή την προσγείωση, λαµβάνει απόφαση όσον αφορά την άδεια αυτή, µόνον εφόσον είτε δεν έχουν εγερθεί αντιρρήσεις είτε αφού λάβουν χώρα οι διαβουλεύσεις για τα αποδειχτικά στοιχεία, κατά τη συνεδρίαση που συγκάλεσε η Επιτροπή. Σε περίπτωση που χορηγηθεί άδεια µετά την εν λόγω συνεδρίαση, το ενδιαφερόµενο κράτος µέλος κοινοποιεί στα άλλα κράτη µέλη και στην Επιτροπή τους λόγους για τους οποίους έλαβε την απόφαση να χορηγήσει άδεια. 4. Καµία διάταξη του παρόντος κανονισµού δεν θεωρείται ότι περιορίζει το δικαίωµα πτήσης οιουδήποτε αεροσκάφους πάνω από τα εδάφη της Κοινότητας και της Ο∆Γ µε σκοπό τη διέλευση, σύµφωνα µε τις κείµενες διατάξεις.

text: 20. 6. 2000 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen C 170 E/97 De Commissie zal het probleem uitputtend onderzoeken. Zij zal niet nalaten de geachte afgevaardigde op de hoogte te houden van de conclusies die zij zal trekken. De Commissie betreurt de vertraging waarmee is gereageerd op de brief waarnaar de geachte afgevaardigde verwijst. De organisatie in kwestie heeft onlangs een brief hierover ontvangen. (2000/C 170 E/112) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1769/99 van Jan Andersson (PSE) aan de Commissie (11 oktober 1999) Betreft: Plannen van de Commissie voor de invoering van een gemeenschappelijk systeem van statiegeld op glas De verpakking van drank draagt momenteel bij tot de ernstige problemen die de meeste lidstaten hebben met de verwerking van afval. In sommige landen is een systeem ingevoerd om flessen weer in te nemen, maar in bepaalde gevallen is het een probleem de hoeveelheden te benaderen die nodig zijn, wil een dergelijk systeem lonend zijn. Een mogelijke oplossing is de invoering van een gemeenschappelijk statie- geldsysteem in de EU om er aldus toe bij te dragen dat de grotere hoeveelheden glas worden ingeleverd die noodzakelijk zijn en om het toenemende probleem van de grote hoeveelheden huishoudafval te beperken. Overweegt de Commissie het initiatief te nemen tot de invoering van een gemeenschappelijk systeem van statiegeld op glas in de EU? Antwoord van mevrouw Wallstr(cid:246)m namens de Commissie (17 november 1999) EØn van de maatregelen waarin Richtlijn 94/0062/EG van de Raad van 20 december 1994 betreffende verpakking en verpakkingsafval (1) voorziet, is het geven van stimulansen voor systemen voor het herge- bruik van verpakkingen teneinde milieueffecten van verpakkingsafval te voorkomen en te verminderen op voorwaarde dat de verpakkingen op milieuhygiºnisch verantwoorde wijze kunnen worden hergebruikt in overeenstemming met het Verdrag. Verscheidene lidstaten, zoals Denemarken, Duitsland, Nederland, Oostenrijk, Finland en Zweden, hebben systemen voor hergebruik opgezet of hun traditionele oude systemen uitgebreid. Momenteel wordt in een aantal van die lidstaten tot 90 % van de drankverpakkingen hergebruikt. Het opzetten van een Europees systeem voor hergebruik is evenwel een complexe aangelegenheid waarbij verscheidene aspecten (standaardisering, transportafstanden) een rol spelen. Het harmoniseren van de bestaande systemen voor hergebruik, die historisch op uiteenlopende wijzen zijn ontwikkeld, is dan ook een moeilijke klus. Bovendien moet de noodzaak om een hoog niveau van milieubescherming te garanderen met de regelgeving betreffende de interne markt worden gecombineerd. De Commissie zal evenwel gebruik maken van de herziening van Richtlijn 94/0062/EG, die v(cid:243)(cid:243)r het einde van dit jaar van start moet gaan, om de systemen voor het hergebruik van verpakkingen in de lidstaten verder te verbeteren. (1) PB L 365 van 31. 12. 1994. (2000/C 170 E/113) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1772/99 van Herbert B(cid:246)sch (PSE) aan de Commissie (11 oktober 1999) Betreft: Lopende rechtszaak bij het Europees Hof van Justitie inzake de Oostenrijkse drankaccijns (C- 437/97) In Oostenrijk wordt in het gehele land op alle dranken drankaccijns geheven, die een lokale belasting is. Vertegenwoordigers van de Europese Commissie hebben altijd bevestigd dat deze Oostenrijkse drankaccijns C 170 E/98 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 20. 6. 2000 conform de EU-voorschriften is. Om die reden is geen noemenswaardige schriftelijke verklaring hierom- trent in het toetredingsverdrag opgenomen. Nu is er evenwel een klacht bij het Europees Hof van Justitie ingediend volgens welke de drankaccijns niet in overeenstemming zou zijn met de EU-voorschriften. In de conclusies van de advocaat-generaal van 1 juli 1999 wordt dit bevestigd. Met betrekking hiertoe de volgende vragen: 1. Beschikt de Commissie over documentatie inzake de toetsing van het Oostenrijkse belastingsstelsel, en met name de drankaccijns, op verenigbaarheid met het Gemeenschapsrecht? 2. Welk standpunt nam de Commissie in 1991 en 1992 in verband met de Duitse drankaccijns in? 3. Om welke reden is de Commissie sinds het begin van de jaren (cid:146)90 van gedachten veranderd en is het tot de nu aanhangige procedure bij het EHvJ gekomen? Antwoord van de heer Bolkestein namens de Commissie (1 december 1999) 1. en 3. Het is onjuist dat de Commissie haar standpunt in deze zaak zou hebben gewijzigd. Begin 1998 heeft de Commissie voor het eerst een standpunt ingenomen in het kader van de prejudiciºle procedure C-437/97. Omdat zij van oordeel was dat de Oostenrijkse accijns onverenigbaar was met het Gemeenschapsrecht, heeft zij tegelijkertijd de procedure van artikel 226 van het EG-Verdrag (ex artikel 169) ingeleid. Deze procedure bevindt zich momenteel in het stadium van het met redenen omkleed advies. De Commissie is noch in 1991, noch in 1992, noch op enig ander tijdstip verzocht zich officieel uit 2. te spreken over de verenigbaarheid van de Duitse drankaccijns met het Gemeenschapsrecht. (2000/C 170 E/114) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1777/99 van Brian Simpson (PSE) aan de Commissie (11 oktober 1999) Betreft: Welzijn van dieren Krachtens artikel 6 van richtlijn 91/0630/EEG van de Raad (1) tot vaststelling van minimumnormen ter bescherming van varkens moet de Commissie v(cid:243)(cid:243)r 1 oktober 1997 bij de Raad op basis van een advies van het Wetenschappelijk Veterinair ComitØ een verslag over de intensieve varkenshouderij indienen. In artikel 6 wordt bepaald dat het verslag van de Commissie vergezeld dient te gaan van passende voorstellen die gebaseerd zijn op de conclusies van dat verslag. Op 30 september 1997 publiceerde het Wetenschappelijk Veterinair ComitØ haar advies, waarin o. a. negatief werd geoordeeld over het gebruik van zeugenboxen, d. w. z. boxen die zo klein zijn dat de zeug zich zelfs niet kan omdraaien. Kan de Commissie meedelen wanneer zij haar krachtens artikel 6 van richtlijn 91/0630/EEG vereiste verslag zal indienen? Zal bovendien in de voorstellen van de Commissie rekening worden gehouden met de conclusie van het Wetenschappelijk Veterinair ComitØ volgens welke geen gebruik moet worden gemaakt van boxen waarin de zeug zich niet gemakkelijk kan omdraaien? (1) PB L 340 van 11. 12. 1991, blz. 33. Antwoord van de heer Byrne namens de Commissie (12 november 1999) Krachtens Richtlijn 91/0630/EEG van de Raad van 19 november 1991 tot vaststelling van minimumnor- men ter bescherming van varkens moet de Commissie een verslag voorleggen over de verschillende aspecten van de intensieve varkenshouderij, speciaal in relatie tot het welzijn van zeugen in verschillende houderijsystemen en in groepen

Segundo as organiza(cid:231)ıes sindicais (FFPE, SE e US), a Comissªo «parece ignorar que o Luxemburgo Ø um dos locais em que tem sede a Uniªo Europeia e impıe orienta(cid:231)ıes e decisıes de transferŒncia precipitadas para Bruxelas, sem mesmo ter informado e consultado os representantes do pessoal no Luxemburgo». PoderÆ a Comissªo: (cid:129) Confirmar as afirma(cid:231)ıes dos representantes sindicais? (cid:129) Em caso afirmativo, comunicar se informou e consultou devidamente os representantes do pessoal? (cid:129) Informar se deu in(cid:237)cio ao processo de concerta(cid:231)ªo com as autoridades luxemburguesas, nos termos do acordo-quadro? S(cid:243) uma resposta clara e inequ(cid:237)voca, bem como o respeito estrito dos procedimentos, permitirªo (cid:224) nova Comissªo nªo ser alvo da cr(cid:237)tica de proceder a uma restrutura(cid:231)ªo selvagem em viola(cid:231)ªo das regras de transparŒncia que tªo solenemente proclamou. Resposta dada por Neil Kinnock em nome da Comissªo (19 de Novembro de 1999) A Comissªo regista a preocupa(cid:231)ªo do Senhor Deputado resultante das informa(cid:231)ıes que lhe foram transmitidas pelos sindicatos representantes do pessoal da Comissªo no Luxemburgo. A Comissªo confirma a declara(cid:231)ªo feita directamente pelo vice-presidente Kinnock aquando de grandes reuniıes de membros do pessoal da Comissªo, incluindo representantes dos sindicatos, no Luxemburgo, em 6 de Outubro, e posteriormente transmitida aos jornais para publica(cid:231)ªo, segundo a qual: «O estatuto exige que a Comissªo informe o ComitØ Central do Pessoal das grandes altera(cid:231)ıes administrativas. Esta regra foi observada pelos servi(cid:231)os da Comissªo antes da adop(cid:231)ªo do plano de reestrutura(cid:231)ªo. O conjunto das propostas enviado ao ComitØ Central do Pessoal em 24 de Setembro de 1999 e adoptado pela Comissªo em 29 de Setembro de 1999. » foi «A reestrutura(cid:231)ªo (da Comissªo) nªo requer quaisquer movimentos de pessoal de Luxemburgo para Bruxelas, nem vice-versa. Embora, como em todas as administra(cid:231)ıes, se possam registar por vezes alguns movimentos, muito limitados, entre os diferentes locais de trabalho, o colØgio nªo adoptou qualquer decisªo nesse sentido. De qualquer modo, o efeito l(cid:237)quido de movimentos desse tipo seria muito pequeno e qualquer transferŒncia seria efectuada atravØs da publica(cid:231)ªo de vagas. Nªo serÆ efectuada qualquer transferŒncia «for(cid:231)ada» de pessoal. » AlØm disso, a Comissªo real(cid:231)a que todas as exigŒncias de consulta com as autoridades luxemburguesas continuarªo a ser respeitadas.
