text: 21. 11. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 330 E/167 Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission (19 April 2000) Budget heading B-1003 (cid:145)Preparatory measures for promotion of the linguistic diversity of the Community in the information society(cid:146) is intended, according to the budget remarks, to promote the Community(cid:146)s linguistic diversity, including regional and minority languages. It is also intended to cover the funding of preparatory measures for the European Year of Languages (EYL). The Commission originally asked for € 4 million to prepare for the Year. It now proposes to use all of the € 2 million finally awarded for these preparatory activities. The limited budget available in 2000 will only be enough to cover urgent expenditure which cannot be deferred until 2001, i. e. the information campaign and launch events. These activities will be funded respectively following a call for tenders for this contract and on the basis of proposals from those Member States organising launch events. The Commission has always emphasised that many of the activities associated with the Year will be neutral in target language terms. However, all the target languages defined in the decision establishing the Year will be included. The Commission plans to publish a call for proposals during the autumn to identify projects eligible for a grant under the 2001 budget; the text of the call is currently being drawn up. The projects chosen will be informed once the selection and financial commitment procedure has been completed. If necessary, a second call will be published in 2001. With regard to linguistic diversity in the information society, the Commission is planning to publish at the end of April 2000 a call for proposals for preparatory measures intended to prepare the joint follow-up to the Multilingual in principle, target all languages, including regional and minority ones, if their objectives are suitable and fit within the framework of the call for proposals.

These measures could, (2000/C 330 E/189) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0467/00 by Luis Berenguer Fuster (PSE) to the Commission (24 February 2000) Subject: Shortcomings in the transposition of Community legislation on health and safety at work into Spanish law Spain has adopted a number of provisions to transpose the Community laws aimed at guaranteeing minimum levels of safety protection for workers into domestic law. These Community laws are Framework Directive 89/391/EEC (1) and two individual directives ensuing from it (cid:129) Directive 92/104/EEC (2) on the minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers in surface and under- ground mineral-extracting industries, and Directive 92/57/EEC (3) on the minimum safety and health requirements for workers at construction sites. Spanish legislation on certain civil engineering projects, such as tunnels, does not conform to the provisions of Directive 92/57/EEC, since in Spain such sites are also covered by the inspection of safeguards established for mining and other extractive industries, in accordance with Royal Decree 1389/ 97. Spanish Law 42/97 of 14 November 1997 stipulates that the labour and social security inspectorate is not competent to deal with health and safety issues for any form of underground activity, regardless of whether or not it involves mining. The Commission has already received complaints from trade unions and professional organisations to the effect that, rather than improving security levels as Community legislation requires, the irregular extension of measures and monitoring for the mining sector to civil engineering projects involving the construction of underground tunnels places workers at risk. The risks involved stem from the enforcement of safety and C 330 E/168 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 21. 11. 2000 technical standards not intended for construction projects and the possibility that standards and instruc- tions may contradict one another. With such legislation in force, Spain cannot hope to attain the required safety levels laid down in Directive 92/57/EEC. Has the Commission looked into the shortcomings in the transposition of Directive 92/57/EEC into 1. Spanish law, which have resulted in the failure to conduct health and safety checks for underground activities not involving mining and thus undermined the implementation of the Directive? 2. What measures does the Commission intend to adopt to ensure the proper transposition of Directive 92/57/EEC in Spain with regard to underground civil engineering projects? (1) OJ L 183, 29. 6. 1989, p. 1. (2) OJ L 404, 31. 12. 1992, p. 10. (3) OJ L 245, 26. 8. 1992, p. 6. Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission (3 April 2000) The Commission has analysed the Spanish measures for the implementation of Directive 92/57/EEC and considers it to have been correctly transposed into Spanish law. This conclusion is not affected by the fact that Royal Decree 1389/1997 transposing Directive 92/104/EEC on surface and underground mineral-extracting industries makes tunnelling activities of whatever nature subject to the minimum requirements applicable to the mining sector. Royal Decree 1389/1997 lays down that this shall be without prejudice to the rules applicable to the construction sector, namely the provisions transposing Directive 92/57/EEC. In so far as Directive 92/57/EEC was adopted on the basis of Article 137 of the EC Treaty (ex-Article 118a), it lays down (cid:145)minimum requirements(cid:146) in the field of safety and health protection for implementation on temporary or mobile work sites. The expression (cid:145)minimum requirements(cid:146) means that the Member States are authorised to maintain or establish more rigorous measures than those which are the subject of Community intervention, in accordance with the provisions of Article 137 (5) of the EC Treaty. Examination of the minimum requirements established for the mining sector to certain construction activities such as tunnelling increases the level of protection for workers laid down by Directive 92/57/EEC. the Spanish legislation has shown that application of It is the responsibility of the Member States to ensure proper monitoring and surveillance of the national provisions transposing directives. In this regard, the appointment of the competent authorities is entirely a matter for the Member States. (2000/C 330 E/190) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0469/00 by Isabelle Caullery (UEN) to the Commission (24 February 2000) Subject: European Union measures in the ˛le-de-France region Can the Commission provide synoptic tables and comprehensive statistical information concerning the various aids and subsidies received by the ˛le-de-France and each of its departments for the period 1994-1999 from the various European funds (ESF, ERDF, EAGGF, etc. ), from the EIB, from urban policy resources and other financial instruments and from other sources? Can it indicate the extent to which these numerous measures have affected employment levels in the ˛le-de-France region and give estimates or, if possible, precise figures, by sector of activity concerning the number of jobs directly or indirectly created or saved as a result?

(2) Article 33 of Directive 78/660/EEC authorises Member States to permit or require companies to re-value certain assets, to value certain assets at replacement cost or to apply other methods that take into account the effects of inflation on the items shown in the annual accounts. (3) Article 29 of Directive 83/349/EEC based on Article (now 44(2)(g)) (2) of the Treaty requires assets 54(3)(g) and liabilities to be included in consolidated accounts to be valued in accordance with Articles 31 to 42 and 60 of Directive 78/660/EEC. institutions are prepared in accordance (4) The annual and consolidated accounts of banks and other to financial Council Directive 86/635/EEC, and the annual and insurance undertakings are consolidated accounts of prepared Council Directive in 91/674/EEC. The amendments in this Directive do not amend the provisions of Directives 86/635/EEC and 91/674/EEC, but the Commission may bring forward similar proposals to amend these Directives after having consulted the relevant advisory committees. accordance with (6) Leading accounting standard setters in the world are moving away from the historical cost model for the valuation of these financial instruments towards a model of fair value accounting.

This will enable European companies to report in line with current international developments. and (9) Comparability of financial information throughout the Community makes it necessary to require Member States to introduce a system of fair value accounting. Member States may permit or require the adoption of that system to all or certain categories of companies and to both the annual and consolidated accounts or to consolidated accounts only. (10) Fair value accounting should only be possible for those items where there is a sufficiently developed international consensus that fair value accounting is appropriate. Fair value accounting should therefore not be applied to all financial assets and liabilities. (11) The notes on the accounts should include certain information concerning the items in the balance sheet which have been measured at fair value. The annual report should give an indication of the company’s risk management objectives and strategies in relation to its use of financial instruments. (5) The dynamic nature of international financial markets has resulted in the widespread use of not only traditional primary financial instruments such as shares and bonds, but also various forms of derivative financial instruments as futures, options, forward contracts and swaps.

Where a market value is not readily identifiable for an item but can be identified for its components, the market value of that item may be derived from that of its components; or (b) the value resulting from established valuation models and techniques, for those items for which a reliable market cannot be readily identified. Such valuation models and techniques should ensure a reasonable approximation of the market value. 2. Those items that cannot be measured reliably in a way that is free from material error and bias by the methods as described under either (a) or (b) of paragraph 1, may not be measured at fair value and should instead be measured in accordance with Articles 34 to 42.

The Member States may lay down rules governing the use of the fair value reserve. 3. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the change in the fair value of an item measured in accordance with Article 42b should not be included in the profit and loss account in arriving at the profit or loss for the financial year, but must be included directly in the fair value reserve where: (a) that item is accounted for as a hedging instrument under a system of hedge accounting that allows such changes in value not to be shown in the profit and loss account, or (d) exclude commodity-based contracts that were originally designated for the purposes of meeting a company’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements in that (b) such change in value relates to an exchange difference arising on a monetary item that forms part of a company’s net investment in an affiliated foreign under- taking. 31. 10. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 311 E/3 The fair value reserve referred to in paragraph 3 4. should be reduced to the extent that the amounts shown therein are no longer necessary for the implementation of the valuation methods under the circumstances referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph 3.

Medlemsstaterna bemyndigas härmed att på de villkor som fastställs i punkt 2 medge undantag från artikel 4. 1 i direktiv 77/93/EEG när det gäller de förbud som avses i del A punkt 15 i bilaga III till det direktivet för plantor av släktet Vitis L. , utom frukter, med ursprung i Schweiz. med beaktande av Frankrikes begäran avseende plantor av Vitis L. , utom frukter, med ursprung i Schweiz, och av följande skäl: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Enligt bestämmelserna i direktiv 77/93/EEG får plantor av Vitis L. , utom frukter med ursprung i tredje land i princip inte föras in i gemenskapen. Genom beslut 97/159/EG (3) och 1999/166/EG (4) bemyndigar kommissionen medlemsstaterna att på särskilda villkor göra undantag när det gäller plantor av Vitis L. , utom frukter, med ursprung i Schweiz under 1997 och 1999 års säsonger. Av tekniska skäl har det inte skett någon import enligt beslut 97/159/EG och 1999/166/EG. De omständigheter som ligger till grund för bemyndi- gandet för Schweiz kvarstår fortfarande. Ett undantag bör därför beviljas för en begränsad period, förutsatt att det omfattar särskilda villkor och utan att det påverkar tillämpningen av rådets direktiv 68/ 193/EEG (5), senast ändrat genom Anslutningsakten för Österrike, Finland och Sverige, och alla därtill hörande genomförandebestämmelser.

Tais regras, no que respeita ao n. o 2, alínea e), do artigo 11. o da Directiva 97/78/CE, aplicam-se apenas aos procedimentos de travessia da Comunidade por via rodoviária. É importante que os veterinários oficiais responsáveis dos postos de inspecção fronteiriços que recebem merca- dorias em trânsito destinadas a sair da Comunidade tenham sempre conhecimento das remessas que chegam, em especial das que chegam fora do horário normal de funcionamento destes postos. É importante especificar os controlos que devem ser efectuados no posto de inspecção fronteiriço de saída para verificar a proveniência da remessa. (1) JO L 24 de 30. 1. 1998, p. 3. (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) É igualmente importante especificar a categoria de apro- vação do posto de inspecção fronteiriço de saída, a fim de assegurar que o respectivo pessoal esteja familiarizado com os produtos que são apresentados para exame. É necessário dispor de uma abordagem harmonizada em relação ao controlo das remessas assim apresentadas e à anotação dos documentos devolvidos ao posto de inspecção fronteiriço de entrada. Existe uma derrogação para o pessoal que procede a controlos no que respeita aos postos de inspecção fron- teiriços aprovados apenas para controlos de produtos da pesca. A presente decisão aplica-se sem prejuízo das medidas adoptadas pela Comunidade no âmbito de acordos inter- nacionalmente aceites com países terceiros. As medidas previstas na presente decisão estão em conformidade com o parecer do Comité Veterinário Permanente, ADOPTOU A PRESENTE DECISÃO: Artigo 1. o Em aplicação do artigo 11. o da Directiva 97/78/CE, e, nomea- damente, da alínea e) do seu n. o 2, as regras que se seguem aplicar-se-ão apenas em relação ao trânsito rodoviário através da Comunidade Europeia de produtos de origem animal de um país terceiro para outro país terceiro. 11. 3. 2000 PT Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias L 64/21 Artigo 2. o Os postos de inspecção fronteiriços mencionados no n. o 2, alínea e), do artigo 11. o da Directiva 97/78/CE devem ser: — no que respeita aos produtos da pesca, todos os postos de inspecção fronteiriços que constam da lista estabelecida na Decisão 97/778/CE (1) da Comissão (alterada), — no que respeita a outros produtos de origem animal não referidos no primeiro travessão, todos os postos de inspecção fronteiriços referidos no primeiro travessão, com excepção dos aprovados apenas para a inspecção de produtos da pesca.

(2000/C 330 E/216) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE P-0577/00 von Niall Andrews (UEN) an die Kommission (24. Februar 2000) Betrifft: Fusion von Sprint und MCI WorldCom 1998 pr(cid:252)fte die Kommission die vorgeschlagene Fusion zwischen MCI und WorldCom und kam zu der Einsch(cid:228)tzung, da(cid:223) der Zusammenschlu(cid:223) 50 % oder noch mehr des US-Hintergrundnetzes beherrschen w(cid:252)rde, und urteilten daher, da(cid:223) diese Fusion eine wettbewerbsfeindliche Wirkung auf europ(cid:228)ische Netz- betreiber, Internet-Diensteanbieter (ISP) und Internet-Nutzer haben w(cid:252)rde. Aufgrund dessen erzwang die Kommission die Entflechtung des MCI-Internet-Hintergrundnetzbereichs. 1. Ist der Kommission nunmehr die geplante Fusion von Sprint und MCI WorldCom bekannt sowie, da(cid:223) sie zu der weltweit gr(cid:246)(cid:223)ten Wertsteigerung auf diesem Markt, zur Beherrschung des globalen Internets f(cid:252)hren und sich in der Folge wettbewerbsverzerrend in ganz Europa auswirken w(cid:252)rde? 2. Ist der Kommission ferner bekannt, da(cid:223) diese Fusion zwischen dem gr(cid:246)(cid:223)ten und zweitgr(cid:246)(cid:223)ten US- Hintergrundnetzanbieter zu einem 80 %igen US-Marktanteil mit erheblicher europ(cid:228)ischer und transatlanti- scher Kapazit(cid:228)t f(cid:252)hren w(cid:252)rde? 3. Europ(cid:228)ische IP-Netze sind so angelegt, da(cid:223) der innereurop(cid:228)ische Datenstrom oft (cid:252)ber die Vereinigten Staaten geleitet wird. MCI WorldCom mit seiner enormen Schaltkapazit(cid:228)t f(cid:252)r das Internet in Washington DC t(cid:228)tigt 85 % des gesamten innereurop(cid:228)ischen Internetverkehrs. Sprint geh(cid:246)rt die einzige andere 21. 11. 2000 DE Amtsblatt der Europ(cid:228)ischen Gemeinschaften C 330 E/189 Schaltkapazit(cid:228)t an der Ostk(cid:252)ste. Zusammen h(cid:228)tten sie eine beherrschende Position. Dann k(cid:246)nnen sie h(cid:246)here Preise f(cid:252)r die Weiterleitung und Schaltung der globalen Internetfl(cid:252)sse erheben. Wird die Kommis- sion unverz(cid:252)glich eine (cid:220)berpr(cid:252)fung der geplanten neuen Fusion zwischen Sprint und MCI WorldCom veranlassen und sicherstellen, da(cid:223) dieser Zusammenschlu(cid:223) nicht weiter betrieben wird, da er ernstliche Folgen f(cid:252)r den europ(cid:228)ischen Gro(cid:223)handel (Internet-Diensteanbieter (ISP)) und die Einzelkunden (Internet- Nutzer) h(cid:228)tte? Antwort von Herrn Monti im Namen der Kommission (27. M(cid:228)rz 2000) Die Kommission teilt dem Herrn Abgeordneten mit, da(cid:223) sie die geplante Fusion von MCI WorldCom und Sprint eingehend pr(cid:252)ft. So hat sie am 21. Februar 2000 beschlossen, eine viermonatige umfassende Untersuchung der m(cid:246)glichen Auswirkungen dieses Zusammenschlusses auf den Wettbewerb im Gemein- samen Markt einzuleiten. Schon 1998 hatte die Kommission die Auswirkungen des Zusammenschlusses von MCI und WorldCom auf dem Markt f(cid:252)r Internet-Anschlu(cid:223)dienste untersucht. Die derzeitige Untersuchung der Kommission konzentriert sich erstmals auf den Markt f(cid:252)r Anschlu(cid:223)dienste der h(cid:246)chsten Ebene (d. h. die direkte oder indirekte Zugangsf(cid:228)higkeit zu Netzen, die der Benutzer zur Abdeckung des gesamten Internets ben(cid:246)tigt). f(cid:252)r globale Telekommunikationsdienste an Zus(cid:228)tzlich dazu untersucht die Kommission den Markt multinationale Unternehmen und den Markt f(cid:252)r die Zustellung von Gespr(cid:228)chen aus der Gemeinschaft in den USA. Sollte die Kommission bei ihrer Untersuchung zu dem Schlu(cid:223) kommen, da(cid:223) der Zusammenschlu(cid:223) auf einem dieser M(cid:228)rkte eine beherrschende Stellung bewirkt oder verst(cid:228)rkt, haben die beteiligten Unter- nehmen die M(cid:246)glichkeit, die wettbewerbsrechtlichen Bedenken der Kommission durch ˜nderungsvor- schl(cid:228)ge auszur(cid:228)umen. Die abschlie(cid:223)ende Entscheidung in dieser Sache wird f(cid:252)r Anfang Juli 2000 erwartet.

Februar 2000) Betrifft: Ablehnende Haltung und Sorgen t(cid:252)rkischer Minister in bezug auf das KKW Akkuyu (cid:129) Europ(cid:228)ische Strategie f(cid:252)r die Nuklearsicherheit Der t(cid:252)rkische Umweltminister Herr Aiketin erkl(cid:228)rte auf einer Konferenz in Mersin am 2. 2. 2000, da(cid:223) er nicht voll (cid:252)ber die Gefahren unterrichtet sei, die sich aus der Errichtung eines Kernkraftwerks in Akkuyu ergeben w(cid:252)rden und da(cid:223) es keine vollst(cid:228)ndige Unterrichtung (cid:252)ber dieses Kernkraftwerk gegeben habe. Auch sei er pers(cid:246)nlich gegen die Errichtung eines Kernkraftwerks. ˜hnlich (cid:228)u(cid:223)ert sich der t(cid:252)rkische Fremdenverkehrsminister, Herr Bumcu (lt. Zeitung Cumh(cid:252)rriyet) und betont, da(cid:223) Akkuyu nur 120 km von den Touristenstr(cid:228)nden bei Mersin entfernt liegt. Dar(cid:252)ber hinaus bezeichnet Professor Ulug von der Universit(cid:228)t Izmir die Entscheidung, ein Kernkraftwerk in einem h(cid:228)ufig von Erdbeben betroffenen Gebiet zu errichten, als Verbrechen. Schlie(cid:223)lich erkl(cid:228)rte die Vertreterin von Greenpeace, Frau Keskin, da(cid:223) im Falle eines Ungl(cid:252)cks nicht allein die T(cid:252)rkei sondern auch Zypern, das Mittelmeer, der Nahe Osten, Nordafrika und selbst der Kaukassus radioaktiv verseucht w(cid:252)rden. Kann die Europ(cid:228)ische Kommission mitteilen, welche Haltung sie zu den erw(cid:228)hnten Erkl(cid:228)rungen 1. einnimmt, in denen eindeutig die Ablehnung gegen den geplanten Bau des Kernkraftwerks von Akkuyu und starke Beunruhigung (cid:252)ber seine Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt, den Fremdenverkehr und die Gesundheit von Millionen B(cid:252)rgern zum Ausdruck kommt, die in der s(cid:252)dlichen T(cid:252)rkei und den angren- zenden L(cid:228)ndern leben, darunter auch Unionsb(cid:252)rger, wenn man bedenkt, da(cid:223) der vorgesehene Standort in einer stark seismogenen Zone liegt?

N(cid:228)r det g(cid:228)ller Kreta och Attika vill kommissionens ta upp f(cid:246)ljande: I det operativa programmet f(cid:246)r Kreta gjorde kommissionen ett finansierings(cid:229)tagande s(cid:229) snart medlems- staten hade l(cid:228)mnat in de dokument som avses i best(cid:228)mmelserna och betalade ut det f(cid:246)rsta f(cid:246)rskottet f(cid:246)r budget(cid:229)ret 1999. Medlemsstatens beg(cid:228)ran om den andra utbetalningen inkom till kommissionen i slutet av 1999, d(cid:229) alla ESF:s anslag hade anv(cid:228)nts. D(cid:228)rf(cid:246)r skedde utbetalningen i februari 2000. F(cid:246)rfarandet f(cid:246)r att modifiera finansieringsplanen i det operativa programmet f(cid:246)r regionen Attika har drabbats av stora f(cid:246)rseningar, precis som i flera andra grekiska regioner.
