Dos miembros del equipo ten(cid:237)an un buen conocimiento de ruso, que era el idioma utilizado durante la misi(cid:243)n. Result(cid:243) imposible obtener un servicio oficial de interpretaci(cid:243)n para el tercer inspector. Por estos motivos, fue necesario adoptar medidas excepcionales, que no corresponden a las prÆcticas habituales de la Oficina veterinaria y alimentaria, a fin de garantizar el Øxito de la misi(cid:243)n. Para ello, se acept(cid:243) la oferta de la empresa exportadora, que era de propiedad sueca, de proporcionar un intØrprete para el tercer inspector. AdemÆs, se elabor(cid:243) el programa de la misi(cid:243)n en colaboraci(cid:243)n con los servicios veterinarios regionales, en lugar de los centrales, con la ayuda de la empresa exportadora sueca. Un directivo de esta empresa viaj(cid:243) con el equipo a fin de ayudarles en las diligencias del viaje, pero no formaba parte del equipo y, tal como se seæala claramente en el informe, no particip(cid:243) en ninguna de las reuniones tØcnicas que se celebraron durante la misi(cid:243)n. En ningœn caso esta circunstancia afect(cid:243) al desarrollo de la misi(cid:243)n ni a la comunicaci(cid:243)n de sus resultados, conclusiones y recomendaciones. Todas las decisiones tomadas en relaci(cid:243)n con el viaje y el alojamiento se ajustaron plenamente a las normas de la Comisi(cid:243)n al respecto. La Comisi(cid:243)n es plenamente consciente de la necesidad de garantizar que los consumidores conf(cid:237)en en la imparcialidad de sus actividades de inspecci(cid:243)n y control. Las conclusiones de esta misi(cid:243)n, tal como se evidencia en la publicaci(cid:243)n de este informe, se consiguieron de una manera totalmente transparente e independiente, y fueron aceptadas por los Estados miembros en el ComitØ veterinario permanente el 10 de febrero de 1999. (2000/C 330 E/173) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-0406/00 de Gerhard Schmid (PSE) al Consejo (16 de febrero de 2000) Asunto: Indemnizaci(cid:243)n de los transportistas alemanes del Danubio como consecuencia del cierre del trayecto yugoslavo En la ciudad de Ratisbona (Alemania) estÆn establecidas muchas empresas que se dedicaN exclusivamente al transporte por el Danubio desde Alemania a otros puntos situados por debajo de Yugoslavia. La guerra de Kosovo, la destrucci(cid:243)n de los puentes sobre el Danubio y el cierre consiguiente del trayecto yugoslavo del Danubio han dado al traste con la actividad econ(cid:243)mica de esas empresas, ya que, al estar sumamente especializadas en determinados transportes por el Danubio, apenas tienen posibilidad alguna de ejercer su actividad en otro terreno. 1. 2. 3. ¿Hay que considerar dichas empresas como damnificadas poR la guerra de Kosovo, al igual que las empresas mismas de Kosovo? ¿Pueden recibir dichas empresas ayuda econ(cid:243)mica para compensar los daæos sufridos? ¿Tienen derecho tales empresas a una ayuda de reconstrucci(cid:243)n y mantenimiento a fondo perdido para compensar las pØrdidas que estÆn sufriendo y a subvenciones para el sector de inversiones con garant(cid:237)a pœblica de buen fin? Respuesta (2 de mayo de 2000) El Consejo informa a Su Seæor(cid:237)a de que, de acuerdo con lo dispuesto en el art(cid:237)culo 87 y ss. del Tratado CE, corresponde a la Comisi(cid:243)n pronunciarse sobre las ayudas concedidas por los Estados miembros
