text: 20. 2. 2001 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 53 E/35 La Commissione concorda con l(cid:146)onorevole parlamentare sul fatto che, affinchØ si sviluppi una 3. concorrenza effettiva nel mercato interno dell(cid:146)elettricit(cid:224) Ł essenziale che le informazioni commerciali riservate vengano mantenute segrete. Proprio per questo motivo l(cid:146)articolo 9 della direttiva ha un(cid:146)impor- tanza fondamentale. La Commissione provveder(cid:224) affinchØ questa disposizione venga attuata correttamente dagli Stati membri e applicher(cid:224) inoltre le regole di concorrenza comunitarie tutte le volte in cui accerter(cid:224) abusi di posizione dominante. (2001/C 53 E/038) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-0867/00 di Michael Cashman (PSE) alla Commissione (16 marzo 2000) Oggetto: Imbarcazioni a noleggio nelle acque della Grecia Fino al 1o gennaio 2004 la Grecia gode di una deroga al regolamento (CEE) del Consiglio n. 3577/1992 (1) ai sensi dell(cid:146)articolo 6, paragrafo 3. Significa ci(cid:242) che la Grecia ha il diritto di autorizzare alle imbarcazioni a noleggio di operare nelle sue acque nazionali unicamente qualora siano registrate in Grecia (e battano bandiera greca) e il capitano sia cittadino greco? (1) GU L 364 del 12. 12. 1992, pag. 7. Risposta data dalla sig. ra de Palacio a nome della Commissione (10 aprile 2000) Fino al 1o gennaio 2004 la Grecia beneficia effettivamente di una deroga temporanea al regolamento (CEE) n. 3577/92 del Consiglio, del 7 dicembre 1992, concernente l(cid:146)applicazione del principio della libera prestazione dei servizi ai trasporti marittimi fra Stati membri (cabotaggio marittimo). Nella fattispecie la deroga si applica ai servizi regolari di passeggeri e di traghetto nonchØ ai servizi di cabotaggio con le isole effettuati con navi di meno di 650 tonnellate lorde. Ci(cid:242) significa che le autorit(cid:224) elleniche hanno il diritto di riservare i servizi di cui sopra alle navi registrate in Grecia e battenti bandiera greca. ¨ quindi possibile che le imbarcazioni a noleggio di meno di 650 tonnellate registrate e battenti la bandiera di in un altro Stato membro siano escluse dal cabotaggio con le isole greche fino alla data summenzionata. Infine, la Commissione non ritiene che il requisito in base al quale il capitano della nave deve essere cittadino greco sia incompatibile con il diritto comunitario. PoichØ a bordo della nave il capitano esercita funzioni di ufficiale dello stato civile, quali ad esempio quelle di svolgere indagini sui crimini commessi a bordo, assicurare il rispetto della disciplina o compiere azioni inerenti allo stato civile dei passeggeri e dell(cid:146)equipaggio, la Commissione ritiene che a questa carica si applichi la deroga di cui all(cid:146)articolo 39(3) (ex articolo 48) del trattato CE [cfr. le Osservazioni della Commissione nella causa Commissione/Francia, C-334/94 (sentenza del 7 marzo 1996)]. (2001/C 53 E/039) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-0872/00 di Alejandro Agag Longo (PPE-DE) alla Commissione (22 marzo 2000) Oggetto: Internet nelle scuole Lo scorso 28 febbraio, la Commissione ha inviato al Presidente del Consiglio il proprio contributo per il prossimo vertice di Lisbona su riforma e occupazione. Tra altri aspetti, si segnala come obiettivo prioritario che tutte le scuole abbiano accesso a Internet nell(cid:146)anno 2001. C 53 E/36 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee IT 20. 2. 2001 La Commissione considera fattibile che gli Stati membri prendano in esame l(cid:146)accesso alla rete come servizio universale, cosicchØ si realizzi a prezzi accessibili? Sempre a questo proposito alcuni paesi hanno fatto balenare la possibilit(cid:224) della gratuit(cid:224) di accesso alla rete di Internet da parte di scuole, universit(cid:224), biblioteche, ospedali e altri centri sanitari, con l(cid:146)obiettivo di evitare che i differenti livelli di reddito nell(cid:146)ambito dell(cid:146)Unione finiscano per determinare un(cid:146)Europa a due velocit(cid:224) quanto alla societ(cid:224) dell(cid:146)informazione. Qual Ł il suo parere a questo rispetto? Risposta data dal signor Liikanen a nome Commissione (25 maggio 2000) L(cid:146)iniziativa eEurope della Commissione (1) ha stabilito l(cid:146)obiettivo di garantire a tutte le scuole europee l(cid:146)accesso ad Internet e alle risorse multimediali entro la fine del 2001. La Commissione punta in via prioritaria ad offrire a tutti i cittadini la possibilit(cid:224) di partecipare alla societ(cid:224) dell(cid:146)informazione in fase di sviluppo. Occorre tuttavia distinguere tra, da un lato, la politica della Commissione tesa ad incentivare gli Stati membri affinchØ colleghino le scuole ad Internet e, dall(cid:146)altro lato, il concetto di «servizio universale» cos(cid:236) come sancito nella legislazione in materia di telecomunicazioni (2). A norma della legislazione le autorit(cid:224) degli Stati membri possono obbligare gli operatori di reti a garantire la fornitura di determinati servizi minimi di qualit(cid:224) specifica a tutti i cittadini, a prescindere dalla loro ubicazione geografica e ad un costo accessibile. La definizione vigente del servizio universale comprende disposizioni in materia di telefonia vocale, fax e trasmissione di dati in banda vocale via modem, incluso l(cid:146)accesso ad Internet. Attualmente il campo d(cid:146)applicazione del servizio universale non include l(cid:146)accesso delle scuole ad Internet; per contro il quadro normativo comunitario in vigore (3) consente di applicare tariffe speciali per determinati gruppi di utenti, tra cui, appunto, le scuole. In numerosi Stati membri gli operatori storici hanno gi(cid:224) introdotto tariffe speciali per le scuole che si vogliono collegare alla rete. Tali tariffe (d(cid:146)uso) non dovrebbero essere utilizzate per distorcere la concorrenza e gli operatori non dovrebbero abusare della loro posizione dominante applicando prezzi esorbitanti. Le autorit(cid:224) nazionali di regolamentazione devono vegliare affinchØ anche gli operatori concorrenti e altri prestatori di servizi abbiano la possibilit(cid:224) di applicare analoghe tariffe speciali. Inoltre, gli Stati membri sono liberi di imporre obblighi non previsti attualmente dal servizio universale per altri servizi di portata nazionale, ma non possono obbligare gli operatori a contribuire alla loro fornitura. Tali servizi, per esempio l(cid:146)accesso ad Internet per le scuole, possono essere finanziati mediante il bilancio dello Stato, nel rispetto tuttavia delle disposizioni in materia di concorrenza. La Commissione incentiva gli Stati membri a dotare le scuole, gli ospedali e le biblioteche di computer con accesso ad Internet, ricorrendo in particolare ai fondi strutturali previsti per il periodo 2000-2006.

Based on answers to a questionnaire which was dispatched to the Member States representatives in the programme committee the links to Member States' policies and an impact on the development of health promotion in their countries have been drawn up. Furthermore the Commission presents first results of an evaluation which was carried out by a group of independent experts, who under contract to the Commission analysed the decision-making procedures of supported projects and the levels of activity in the different priority areas in the three years 1996-1998. Within this part, particular regard has been given to effectiveness and the achievement of the objectives of the measures undertaken. Consistency and complementarity The Commission sought consistency and complementarity between its health promotion and other Community policies, programmes and initiatives by a multitude of efforts on different operational levels, in particular: The implementation of the 4th Framework programme for research, technological development and demonstration (1994 – 1998) of the European Communities was closely followed by means of the inter-service consultations on publications of calls for proposals and on adoption of projects for financing. The preparation of the 5th Framework programme for technological development and demonstration (1998 – 2002) was actively followed by means of the inter-service consultations on the draft proposal, and consultations on project proposals, in order to ensure consistency and complementarity. research, Further, officials of the public health directorate were invited to all meetings of the programme committees for the specific research programmes; likewise, officials from the research directorates were invited to the meetings of the programme committee. 1 OJ EC L 95, 16. 4. 1996. 3 In the course of the implementation of the programmes, applicants seemed also to have better understood the difference between health and health services research as foreseen under the framework programmes for research and the health promotion measures covered under this action plan. International co-operation Based on a mutual understanding of health promotion and its impact on people's health and on infrastructural and environmental changes, the Commission has from in the beginning onward closely co-operated with other particular with WHO. Thus, some conferences and international workshops on specific issues have jointly been organised and the Commission Services significantly contributed to the 4th World Health Conference on health promotion in Jakarta. international bodies, Monitoring and Adjustments Monitoring of the specific actions has been performed mainly through a continuous follow-up by the Commission Services of the contractual obligations of the projects financed. To improve the European added value as an important general objective, the Commission Services have embarked on a strategy to ask for enhanced networking of applicants to ensure better cross-border co-operation, e. g. , as a means of dissemination of best practice in Europe. To cover areas of Community interest, which were not covered by specific actions selected to date, following a thorough analysis of the active portfolio, the Commission adopted annual work plans. In turn, the annual work plans aided in establishing priorities for the next calls for proposals as well as in the selection of the newly proposed actions. 4 To further improve transparency and simplify dissemination at the same time annual reports have been produced for 19962, 19973 and 19984 by the Commission’s Services, which give a comprehensive picture of the work of the respective unit of the Commission’s services. Following external suggestions and internal review of shortcomings the linkages between the health promotion programme and other public health programmes have been improved. Programme management Programme management since the first years of the implementation of the health promotion programme has improved, but there are still opportunities for further improvement. This programme came into force end of March 1996. Thus, the creation of the formal management infrastructure, including the setting up of the programme committee and its rules of procedure and working practices, only occurred after the formal commencement of the programme. There has been continuity in the management of public health actions by the Commission, from the period prior to the establishment of the health promotion programme, to the development of management practices of the new programme in its first years. Due to the late setting up of the formal management structure for the programmes, a proper evaluation of the management can only be done in the second phase of the evaluation. However, it is possible to make some preliminary comments at this stage of the implementation. A more detailed evaluation of management will be undertaken during the second phase of the evaluation. A number of suggestions for further improving the timing and procedures for processing and deciding on project applications have been established by the independent experts: – The Commission services should strive to increase the transparency of its decision-making procedures and the timeliness of its communications to the Health Promotion Committee. 2 3 4 Directorate Public Health and Safety at Work, Unit V/F/3, Community action programme on Information, Education and Training, Projects subsidised in 1996, health Promotion, CE-V/3- 97-001-EN.

Directorate Public Health and Safety at Work, Unit V/F/3, Community action programme on health Promotion, Information, Education and Training, Projects subsidised in 1998 by the European Commission, CE-V/3-99-003-EN/FR-C. 5 – Extra efforts should be made to increase the participation of project partners from Member States in Southern Europe. – The guidelines should be revised to state that: (a) Projects with all 15 Member States will (b) Under normal receive highest priority; circumstances, projects with fewer than eight Member States will not be considered for funding, pilot projects investigating transfer of specific, innovative methods to other Member States will be supported if they have fewer than eight participants. – The guidelines should specify that applicants will be required to demonstrate the following aspects of project design and implementation: • A sound, scientific methodology; • In the case of quantitative studies, sample sizes should be representative of the target population, large enough to yield meaningful results, and matched across Member States for age, sex, socio-economic status; • Analyses of the results should be appropriate to the information collected; • Evaluation should be carried out; • Dissemination of the findings should be arranged; • Evidence of genuine collaboration between Member States must be demonstrated. – The guidelines should provide a clear set of instructions on the expected structure and word length of the interim and final reports. – Part One of the application form should contain a section that requires specification of the parts of the budget to be allocated to evaluation and dissemination. Part Two of the form should be revised and expanded to include specific half-page sections for descriptions of the design, methodology, participants, analysis, evaluation and dissemination of projects. – Evaluation and dissemination of projects should be significantly improved. Evaluation and dissemination activities must be included in applicants' description of tasks and written into contracts. If a project evaluation has not been conducted and/or if sufficient efforts to disseminate the results have not been demonstrated, the final payment to the contractor should be withheld. For future actions in the area of health promotion they recommended: – A Decision on future actions should establish an external and independent advisory committee composed of high level experts in European health promotion. The scientific advisory committee the should advise the programme, make Commission concerning the priorities for 6 recommendations concerning funding, and evaluate the final reports of the supported projects. The members of the advisory committee should be paid fees set a level that is commensurate with their responsibilities and their independence and impartiality should be assured. – In future actions it should be made possible for projects to be funded for two or more years without the need for re-application. – Future actions should give greater priority to the role of socio-economic conditions such as urbanisation, housing, unemployment and social exclusion in the promotion of health, particularly for those living in deprived areas. – Future actions should give priority to research into lay people's health beliefs in the light of different cultures, educational and socio-economic groups so that European health promotion can be made more effective and dissemination can be targeted appropriately at different segments of the population. As a result of all these suggestions, during the implementation the Commission has continuously tried to keep abreast with procedural shortcomings and has adapted the procedures and practices to the needs found by internal reviews and suggestions put forward by applicants and external experts. Observations of the Member States A questionnaire was drawn up and dispatched to the Member States and EEA countries that enabled the following focused reporting exercise: Thirteen Member States and Iceland stated that the Programme had an impact on the development of health promotion in their countries. Eight Member States and Iceland stated that the Programme has contributed in one way or another to national health promotion policy or developments (A, D, DK, EL, IC, IRL, FIN, P, S). Only three countries (DK, NO, UK) stated that the Programme had not had any impact on the development of health promotion in their countries. Two of these three (UK and NO) stated that their national health promotion policies were already well founded. Two of the three countries (DK and NO) that stated that the Programme did not have an impact on their national health promotion policies, however, did mention some positive impact in particular settings. The greatest impact was reported to be in projects related to specific settings (such as schools, the workplace etc), with fourteen countries reporting that there had been an impact. This is supported by other comments throughout different parts of the questionnaire. Nine Member States (A, B, E, D, DK, IRL, L, NL, P), Iceland and Norway mentioned the European health promotion networks in a positive light. In addition to these eleven countries, two other Member States (Greece and Finland) mentioned the transnational collaboration that has resulted from the Programme and two others (France 7 and UK) stated that particular projects had or may have had a positive impact in their countries. Thus, a total of fifteen Member States and countries reported at least some added value from the Programme (albeit minimal in one case). Greece, Germany and Italy stated that it is too early or too difficult to assess the impact of the Programme at the present time. France commented on the difficulties of establishing networks and the lack of dissemination of the Programme. This latter point was also mentioned by Sweden who also referred to linguistic problems between professionals and lay people, and the different structures and circumstances of the Member States. Seven countries gave a positive reply to the question concerning practice. Only six countries mentioned that health promotion interventions had an impact. Germany implied that there is a lack of evaluated interventions. France also raised the issue of the lack of evaluation of projects. Also, in a preamble to its questionnaire response, France stated that institutionalised health promotion in the future should use well-thought out methodologies. The impression given by the reports of the Member States and EEA countries is that the Programme is already having a limited but positive impact on the national policies of many Member States. In spite of the different cultures and varying stages of development of health promotion in the Member States and EEA countries, the majority reports that positive influences are already in evidence. In particular, the European Health Promotion Networks are attracting interest among the Member States. The operational aspects of the Programme received considerable amounts of criticism from the Member States. The majority of national representatives on the Health Promotion Committee believe that there has been a lack of transparency in Commission Services’ decision making procedures, that the expertise of Committee Members has not been fully utilised, and that the Committee has had too little influence on the process of project selection. A few Member States reported that improvements have recently occurred. However there are good reasons for believing that the committee procedures are not working well and that the current arrangements is required. Further efforts also need to be made to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of communication between Commission Services and the Health Promotion Committee. some re-structuring of Although the majority of Member States reported a positive impact of the Programme, only four reported any new developments that had taken place as a result of the Programme. However five more were aware of new developments in specific areas. Seven Member States gave a positive reply the usefulness of the occurred developments. Two Member concerning, in health the Programme has extended an interest States reported that promotion to actors in the field of health. France commented that strategies are needed for identifying and implementing pertinent models and also to improve dissemination. 8 Effectiveness and the achievement of objectives COVERAGE OF THE PROJECTS SUPPORTED Given the kind of objectives laid down in this programme, the actual coverage by specific actions following the first calls for proposals within the period of 1996 and 1997 showed some shortage as indicated by the independent experts: The distribution of applications and expenditure varied significantly across the five areas of activity. To date, areas B, C and A have received the most expenditure and areas D and E have received the least expenditure. If the Programme is to be fully implemented in all of the priority fields and achieve its objectives in all areas, special efforts will be needed to distribute activity levels more equally across the five priority areas. Activity E (Vocational Training in Public Health and Health Promotion) appears to have been least implemented to date with 15 small-scale projects using only 1. 26 MECU of Programme expenditure. SUBSIDIARITY OF COMMUNITY ACTION the opinion of Member States was invited through the To ensure subsidiarity, programme committee as laid down in the action programme. Thus, the necessary support of Member States for implementation of actions selected in their countries was encouraged. At the same time, the programme committee guaranteed the required transparency of the European Commission’s actions towards the Member States. The transparency towards the European Parliament was ensured by the prior transmission to that Institution of reports and documents intended for the programme committee as well as an annual list of projects financed. EUROPEAN ADDED VALUE There was one reservation that initially the European added value of projects was in many instances under developed, but stress has been placed on the development of network projects in order to resolve this shortcoming. This has been confirmed by the independent experts and Member States' representatives, by stating: There has already been moderately high Community added value in comparison to the situation that would obtain if the Programme did not exist. Some high ratings for the Community added value were awarded to projects supported in 1996, especially in areas A, B, and C. The project leaders who received funding were also fairly unanimous in asserting their belief in the Community added value of the projects that they were running. The majority of Member States' reported that the Programme had already added Community value. 9 QUALITY OF HEALTH PROMOTION MEASURES To ensure the highest possible standards for the quality of the actions selected, the committee not only gave a favourable opinion on the annual work plans, but was also consulted on the preparation of the calls for proposals, the selection of projects and the follow-up of their implementation. Thus, the independent experts have already identified projects supported in 1996, especially in the areas C, D and A which "award some commendably high ratings". IMPACT ON HEALTH PROMOTION IN MEMBER STATES To ensure the highest possible impact on health promotion in Member States, the Commission has gradually put more and more emphasis on projects, which were carried out in all Member States and in the three EEA countries. Therefore, the Commission supported the development of European networks with representatives in all Member States and the EEA countries. This successful development was confirmed by the independent experts by stating: "Future action should prioritise the continued support of the European health promotion networks that have made good progress within the 1996-2000 Programme". These networks acted on specific issues such as mental health and evidence based health promotion, in specific settings such as workplaces and schools and in favour of specific target groups of the population such as disadvantaged people and children. The efficiency and the impact of these projects were stated by the independent experts and the Member States. 10 Budget Allocation for the Health Promotion Programme 1996 1997 1998 TOTAL Area A- Health promotion strategies & structures B- Specific prevention & health measures promotion Number of projects 7 18 Budget Budget Number of projects Number of projects 912574. 64 6 1252939. 12 237314. 66 10 1439257. 00 C- Health information 9 1126822. 69 D- Health education 12 1130736. 10 E- Vocational training in 4 117435. 46 public health and health promotion 6 8 4 1252939. 12 1524080. 47 365328. 74 Budget 847205. 00 642521. 00 Budget Number of projects 15 32 3012718. 76 2319092. 66 67500. 00 17 2447261. 81 36687. 76 23 2691504. 33 201265. 00 10 684029. 18 2 4 2 3 2 TOTAL 50 3524883. 55 34 5834544. 45 13 1795178. 76 97 11154606. 76 11

text: 13. 2. 2001 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 46 E/71 Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (23 May 2000) The current Community regulatory framework for feedingstuffs contains in general sufficient requirements to guarantee the safety of feed materials. The Commission would like to inform the Honourable Member that strict rules are established regarding the marketing and labelling of feed materials and feedingstuffs, the presence in feed of undesirable substances and products, the conditions to be met by feed manufacturers and the controls to be carried out to ensure that the feedingstuffs are safe. It goes without saying that these requirements have to be properly implemented to be effective, and also that legislation, unless properly implemented, will never prevent all incidents or fraudulent activities affecting the safety of the feed and food chain. Lack of internal controls (good manufacturing practice, own-checks, contingency plans) and lack of mechanisms for traceability allow contamination to develop and expand throughout the whole food chain. It is therefore necessary to set up appropriate requirements and controls allowing for early detection of problems and speedy corrective action. It has become clear that the feed manufacturing and supplying industry should be subjected to more rigorous requirements and controls, including official approval of all feed producing plants. Also the provisions concerning the official controls at national and Community level, the requirements concerning feed materials which can be used in animal nutrition and the limits and controls for undesirable substances need to be reinforced. This non-exhaustive list of possibilities for improvement of the current legislative framework is now being addressed in the context of the follow-up to the white paper on food safety (1). (1) COM(1999) 719 final. (2001/C 46 E/075) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0889/00 by Bart Staes (Verts/ALE) to the Commission (22 March 2000) Subject: Assessment of the dioxin crisis in Belgium The dioxin crisis in Belgium once again demonstrated how vulnerable the food chain, and checks on it, are. An assessment such as that made by the Dioxin Committee of the Chamber of Representatives can help to eliminate problems. Both the European Union and the fifteen Member States have an important role to play in this. In the nine pages concerning the shortcomings, the most striking sentence is this: notification system for Member States of feedingstuffs is not clear(cid:146). (cid:145)the compulsory the European Union in the event of contamination of Does the Commission agree with the Dioxin Committee that the rules on compulsory notification of the EU authorities are inadequate? (a) If not, what arguments are there to suggest that, contrary to the statement by the Dioxin Committee, the rules on compulsory notification are adequate? (b) If so, will the Commission amend the rules on compulsory notification in order to improve crisis prevention and/or management? C 46 E/72 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 13. 2. 2001 Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (4 May 2000) Council Directive 95/53/EC of 25 October 1995 fixing the principles governing the organisation of official inspections in the field of animal nutrition (1) provides the legal basis concerning immediate notifications on infringements related to animal nutrition to the Commission either when irregularities are detected during checks at import and the irregularities lead to the rejection of a consignment, or when the procedure to settle problems between Member States is not sufficient to solve a problem and repeated irregularities are detected during checks at destination. Provisions for compulsory notification to the Commission in the event of a contamination of feeding stuffs are also laid down in Council Directive 1999/29/EC of 22 April 1999, on undesirable substances and products in animal nutrition (2). However, the obligation to notify only applies to situations involving more than one Member State. In addition Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (3) requires Member States to notify immediately to the other Member Sates and to the Commission any disease or other cause likely to cause a serious hazard to animals or to human health in its territory. The circumstances for the notifications are therefore clear, albeit limited, legislation. in the existing Community Moreover, to complete and improve the current provisions, as scheduled in the white paper on food safety (4), the Commission adopted on 21 March 2000 a proposal (5) to amend Council Directive 95/53/EC and Council Directive 1999/29/EC. According to the proposal, information in case of an emergency related to products to be used in animal nutrition will be exchanged through the rapid alert system for food established under Council Directive 92/59/EC of 29 June 1992 on general product safety (6). In particular, Member States will be required to inform the Commission as soon as serious contamination or risk is detected and has spread to feed and the food chain or is likely to spread to other countries, and to provide this information in a harmonised form. In addition, Member States will also be required to inform the Commission when the frequency of a certain contamination or hazard increases. In the white paper on food safety, the Commission has also indicated its intention to present a proposal for an integrated rapid alert system covering both the feed and food sector, as a further improvement in line with the farm to table approach.

text: C 374 E/174 Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias PT 28. 12. 2000 (2000/C 374 E/204) PERGUNTA ESCRITA E-0864/00 apresentada por Marianne Thyssen (PPE-DE) (cid:224) Comissªo (22 de Mar(cid:231)o de 2000) Objecto: IVA aplicÆvel aos mandatos O C(cid:243)digo do IVA da BØlgica determina (cid:129) no seu artigo 18o, primeiro parÆgrafo, no 2, ponto 3 (cid:129) que a execu(cid:231)ªo de um contrato cujo objecto seja um mandato deve ser considerada como um servi(cid:231)o. A administra(cid:231)ªo belga do IVA deduz daqui que as opera(cid:231)ıes de um mandatÆrio estªo sempre sujeitas ao pagamento de IVA, mesmo quando a sua interven(cid:231)ªo se efectua no quadro de uma opera(cid:231)ªo suscept(cid:237)vel de isen(cid:231)ªo nos termos do artigo 13o da Sexta Directiva sobre o IVA (77/388/CE (1)) do Conselho, de 17 de Maio de 1977. PorØm, o artigo 6o desta directiva determina que o mandato nªo constitui um servi(cid:231)o tributÆvel. Pelo contrÆrio: deduz-se claramente da jurisprudŒncia do Tribunal de Justi(cid:231)a das Comunidades Europeias (TJCE) (cid:129) especificamente do ac(cid:243)rdªo de 5 de Junho de 1997 relativo ao caso Sparekassernes Datacenter (SDC) contra Skatteministeriet (processo C-2/95) (cid:129) que as opera(cid:231)ıes de um mandatÆrio ficam imperativamente isentas se o pr(cid:243)prio mandatÆrio executar as opera(cid:231)ıes suscept(cid:237)veis de isen(cid:231)ªo nos termos do artigo 13o da Sexta Directiva. Por outro lado, conclui-se do ac(cid:243)rdªo do TJCE de 25 de Fevereiro de 1999 relativo ao caso Card Protection (processo C-349/96) que a concessªo de uma isen(cid:231)ªo nªo depende da qualidade de quem presta o servi(cid:231)o mas unicamente da natureza do servi(cid:231)o prestado. Qual Ø a interpreta(cid:231)ªo da Comissªo sobre este caso? Na opiniªo da Comissªo, as opera(cid:231)ıes de um mandatÆrio estªo, em princ(cid:237)pio, sempre sujeitas ao pagamento de IVA, mesmo quando a interven(cid:231)ªo do mandatÆrio se efectua no quadro de uma opera(cid:231)ªo suscept(cid:237)vel de isen(cid:231)ªo nos termos do artigo 13o da Sexta Directiva? (1) JO L 145 de 13. 6. 1977, p. 1. Resposta de F. Bolkestein em nome da Comissªo (26 de Abril de 2000) O exerc(cid:237)cio de um mandato, mesmo a t(cid:237)tulo oneroso, por um sujeito passivo Ø indubitavelmente um opera(cid:231)ªo tributÆvel na acep(cid:231)ªo do artigo 2o da 6a Directiva IVA 77/388/CEE. Esta actividade nªo Ø referida nomeadamente no artigo 6o da Sexta Directiva pelo facto de esse artigo definir por omissªo as presta(cid:231)ıes de servi(cid:231)os: «entende-se qualquer presta(cid:231)ªo que nªo constitua uma entrega de bens na acep(cid:231)ªo do artigo 5o». AlØm disso, de um modo geral, as opera(cid:231)ıes que se situam a montante das opera(cid:231)ıes examinadas nªo beneficiam desta isen(cid:231)ªo devendo, por conseguinte, ser tributadas (ac(cid:243)rdªo de 12 de Julho de 1985 Processo 107/84 Comissªo contra a Alemanha). Em contrapartida, pode acontecer que o mandatÆrio efectue igualmente opera(cid:231)ıes que beneficiam de uma isen(cid:231)ªo se o beneficiÆrio da presta(cid:231)ªo Ø nªo o destinatÆrio isento, mas sim o destinatÆrio em benef(cid:237)cio do qual a isen(cid:231)ªo estÆ prevista. No entanto, a Comissªo considera que se trata de uma anÆlise que deverÆ ser efectuada caso a caso, tendo em conta o facto de as isen(cid:231)ıes constitu(cid:237)rem derroga(cid:231)ıes (cid:224) regra geral da tributa(cid:231)ªo, que devem ser interpretadas de forma restritiva e que, por conseguinte, do ac(cid:243)rdªo de 7 de Junho de 1997 (Processo C-2/95 SDC) nªo se pode deduzir um princ(cid:237)pio geral que implique que todos os mandatÆrios que intervŒm em opera(cid:231)ıes beneficiam de isen(cid:231)ıes.

Este boicote afecta sobretudo os trabalhadores e utentes da Embaixada da `ustria, da Representa(cid:231)ªo deste pa(cid:237)s junto da UE e dos gabinetes regionais, sendo para tal procedimento invocado o facto de a maioria dos taxistas ser emigrante. 28. 12. 2000 PT Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias C 374 E/175 Este comportamento Ø contrÆrio a todos os princ(cid:237)pios de toler(cid:226)ncia e de igualdade de todas as pessoas, independentemente de ra(cid:231)a, nacionalidade, sexo e cren(cid:231)a religiosa. O facto de negar o acesso a bens e servi(cid:231)os constitui uma viola(cid:231)ªo flagrante dos direitos da `ustria. Dada a urgŒncia da questªo, poderia a Comissªo comunicar as medidas que tenciona adoptar visando fazer face a esta prÆtica anti-comunitÆria de discrimina(cid:231)ªo de cidadªos austr(cid:237)acos e, por conseguinte, de cidadªos da UE? Resposta dada por Frederik Bolkestein em nome da Comissªo (15 de Maio de 2000) A livre presta(cid:231)ªo de servi(cid:231)os, um princ(cid:237)pio fundamental que assenta na nªo-discrimina(cid:231)ªo com base na nacionalidade, deve ser respeitada pelas entidades nacionais dos Estados-membros e pelas organiza(cid:231)ıes que regulamentam colectivamente um sector profissional. Ora, de acordo com as informa(cid:231)ıes (cid:224) disposi(cid:231)ªo da Comissªo, a situa(cid:231)ªo descrita pelo Senhor Deputado resulta da iniciativa individual de um operador econ(cid:243)mico e nªo de uma instru(cid:231)ªo emitida pelas autoridades belgas em rela(cid:231)ªo (cid:224) actividade dos condutores de tÆxis.

No entanto, os referidos comportamentos individuais de discrimina(cid:231)ªo de utentes com base na sua nacionalidade sªo da competŒncia dos tribunais nacionais.

Agter Kommissionen at til at afhj(cid:230)lpe denne fordrejning p(cid:229) det indre marked? tage konkrete skridt Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Erkki Liikanen (26. april 2000) Kommissionen er fuldst(cid:230)ndig enig med det (cid:230)rede parlamentsmedlem i, at det er problematisk, at der i en r(cid:230)kke medlemsstater er meget administrativt besv(cid:230)r forbundet med at etablere en virksomhed, og prioriterer en forenkling af formaliteterne ved virksomhedsetablering meget hłjt. Kommissionen har derfor (cid:129) i erkendelse af at problemet hovedsagelig skal lłses af medlemsstaternes egne regeringer (cid:129) i sin BEST-rapport (1) anmodet medlemsstaterne om at głre noget ved problemet og stłttet deres bestr(cid:230)belser p(cid:229) at finde enklere og bedre lłsninger. I BEST-rapporten opfordres medlemsstaterne til at głre det lettere at etablere en virksomhed. Som led i opfłlgningen (2) af denne rapport undersłger og evaluerer Kommissionen de fremskridt, som medlems- staterne głr, og den videreformidler ogs(cid:229) information om god praksis. Senere p(cid:229) (cid:229)ret offentliggłr Kommissionen en rapport om denne opfłlgning. I forbindelse med de samordnede aktioner (3) hj(cid:230)lper Komissionen medlemsstaterne med at udveksle god praksis. Et godt eksempel er de franske »Centres de formalitØs d(cid:146)entreprises«, som i hłj grad har forenklet procedurerne ved virksomhedsetablering. Desuden er det opmuntrende at se, at medlemsstaterne l(cid:230)rer af hinandens erfaringer. F. eks. bygger det portugisiske netv(cid:230)rk »Centro de Formalidades das Empresas«, som har begr(cid:230)nset den tid, det normalt tager at etablere en virksomhed, fra omkring et halvt (cid:229)r til ca. 14 dage, p(cid:229) de franske erfaringer. Benchmarking er et vigtigt v(cid:230)rktłj til at vise forskelle og fremskridt, og Kommissionen vil fortsat anvende benchmarking medlemsstaterne imellem inden for iv(cid:230)rks(cid:230)ttervirksomhed og innovation.

text: 23. 3. 2000 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunità europee L 74/3 REGOLAMENTO (CE) N. 612/2000 DELLA COMMISSIONE del 22 marzo 2000 che fissa i prezzi rappresentativi e gli importi dei dazi addizionali all'importazione per i melassi nel settore dello zucchero LA COMMISSIONE DELLE COMUNITÀ EUROPEE, visto il trattato che istituisce la Comunità europea, visto il regolamento (CEE) n. 2038/1999 del Consiglio, del 13 settembre 1999, relativo all'organizzazione comune dei mercati nel settore dello zucchero (1), visto il regolamento (CE) n. 1422/95 della Commissione, del 23 giugno 1995, che stabilisce le modalità d'applicazione per l'importazione di melassi nel settore dello zucchero e che modifica il regolamento (CEE) n. 785/68 (2), in particolare l'arti- colo 1, paragrafo 2 e l'articolo 3, paragrafo 1, considerando quanto segue: (1) (2) (3) Ai sensi del regolamento (CE) n. 1422/95, il prezzo cif all'importazione di melassi, di seguito denominato «prezzo rappresentativo», viene stabilito conformemente al regolamento (CEE) n. 785/68 della Commissione (3). Tale prezzo si intende fissato per la qualità tipo definita all'articolo 1 del regolamento citato. Il prezzo rappresentativo del melasso è calcolato per un determinato luogo di transito di frontiera della Comu- nità, che è Amsterdam; questo prezzo deve essere calco- lato in base alle possibilità d'acquisto più favorevoli sul mercato mondiale stabilite mediante i corsi o i prezzi di tale mercato adeguati in funzione delle eventuali diffe- renze di qualità rispetto alla qualità tipo. La qualità tipo del melasso è stata definita dal regolamento (CEE) n. 785/68. fatte riguardanti Per rilevare le possibilità d'acquisto più favorevoli sul mercato mondiale, occorre tener conto di tutte le infor- mazioni sul mercato le offerte mondiale, i prezzi constatati su importanti mercati dei paesi terzi e le operazioni di vendita concluse negli scambi internazionali di cui la Commissione abbia avuto conoscenza direttamente o per il tramite degli Stati membri. All'atto di tale rilevazione, ai sensi dell'articolo 7 del regolamento (CEE) n. 785/68, può essere presa come base una media di più prezzi, purché possa essere considerata rappresentativa della tendenza effettiva del mercato. (4) Non si tiene conto delle informazioni quando esse non riguardano merce sana, leale e mercantile o quando il prezzo indicato nell'offerta riguarda soltanto una quan- (1) GU L 252 del 25. 9. 1999, pag. 1. (2) GU L 141 del 24. 6. 1995, pag. 12. (3) GU L 145 del 27. 6. 1968, pag. 12. tità limitata non rappresentativa del mercato. Devono essere esclusi anche i prezzi d'offerta che possono essere ritenuti non rappresentativi della tendenza effettiva del mercato. Per ottenere dati comparabili relativi al melasso della qualità tipo, è necessario, secondo la qualità di melasso offerta, aumentare ovvero diminuire i prezzi in funzione dei risultati ottenuti dall'applicazione dell'articolo 6 del regolamento (CEE) n. 785/68. Un prezzo rappresentativo può, a titolo eccezionale, essere mantenuto ad un livello invariato per un periodo limitato quando il prezzo d'offerta in base al quale è stato stabilito il precedente prezzo rappresentativo non è pervenuto a conoscenza della Commissione e quando i prezzi d'offerta disponibili, ritenuti non sufficientemente rappresentativi della tendenza effettiva del mercato, determinerebbero modifiche brusche e rilevanti del prezzo rappresentativo. Qualora esista una differenza tra il prezzo limite per il prodotto in causa e il prezzo rappresentativo, occorre fissare dazi addizionali all'importazione alle condizioni previste all'articolo 3 del regolamento (CE) n. 1422/95. In caso di sospensione dei dazi all'importazione a norma dell'articolo 5 del regolamento (CE) n. 1422/95, occorre fissare importi specifici per tali dazi. Dall'applicazione delle suddette disposizioni risulta che i prezzi rappresentativi e i dazi addizionali all'importa- zione dei prodotti in causa devono essere fissati confor- memente all'allegato del presente regolamento. Le misure previste dal presente regolamento sono conformi al parere del comitato di gestione per lo zucchero, (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) HA ADOTTATO IL PRESENTE REGOLAMENTO: Articolo 1 I prezzi rappresentativi e i dazi addizionali applicabili all'im- portazione dei prodotti di cui all'articolo 1 del regolamento (CE) n. 1422/95 sono indicati in allegato. Articolo 2 Il presente regolamento entra in vigore il 23 marzo 2000. L 74/4 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunità europee 23. 3. 2000 Il presente regolamento è obbligatorio in tutti i suoi elementi e direttamente applicabile in ciascuno degli Stati membri. Fatto a Bruxelles, il 22 marzo 2000.

text: C 26 E/122 Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias PT 26. 1. 2001 (2001/C 26 E/151) PERGUNTA ESCRITA E-0863/00 apresentada por Gianfranco Dell(cid:146)Alba (TDI) (cid:224) Comissªo (22 de Mar(cid:231)o de 2000) Objecto: Compatibilidade do Estatuto da Funda(cid:231)ªo Monte dei Paschi de Siena com a lei no 461 de 1998 e a legisla(cid:231)ªo europeia em matØria de mercado interno e de concorrŒncia No SÆbado, 5 de Fevereiro de 2000, a Funda(cid:231)ªo Monte dei Paschi de Siena aprovou o novo Estatuto tal como estÆ previsto na lei no 461 de 23 de Dezembro de 1998, que estabelece que do Conselho de Administra(cid:231)ªo da Funda(cid:231)ªo farªo parte cinco membros nomeados pela Comuna, quatro pela Prov(cid:237)ncia e um pela Regiªo, excluindo assim quaisquer membros nomeados por outras inst(cid:226)ncias; A lei no 461, o decreto de delega(cid:231)ªo e acto constitutivo prevŒem pelo contrÆrio que nos Conselhos de Administra(cid:231)ªo dessas Funda(cid:231)ıes bancÆrias deve existir uma representa(cid:231)ªo adequada do territ(cid:243)rio e de categorias e figuras profissionais que nªo as entidades locais; Nenhum outro Estatuto de Funda(cid:231)ıes bancÆrias optou por limitar as representa(cid:231)ıes presentes na Funda(cid:231)ªo aos representantes nomeados pelas entidades locais; O Estatuto nªo estipulou nenhuma clÆusula de incompatibilidade, pelo que seria leg(cid:237)tima a presen(cid:231)a no Conselho de Administra(cid:231)ªo das pessoas que tomaram parte na sua nomea(cid:231)ªo, como o pr(cid:243)prio Presidente da C(cid:226)mara de Siena; Pelo contrÆrio, a referida lei no 461 e o decreto de delega(cid:231)ªo prevŒem independŒncia e ausŒncia de conflitos de interesses, pelo que nªo podem fazer parte dos (cid:243)rgªos das Funda(cid:231)ıes administradores ou funcionÆrios das entidades com poder de nomea(cid:231)ªo; A Comissªo Europeia estÆ neste momento a estudar a compatibilidade da lei italiana no 461 relativa (cid:224)s opera(cid:231)ıes de restrutura(cid:231)ªo bancÆria com a legisla(cid:231)ªo europeia, Considera a Comissªo compat(cid:237)vel com as respectivas disposi(cid:231)ıes do Tratado e com a legisla(cid:231)ªo comunitÆria em matØria de concorrŒncia e de mercado interno o Estatuto da Funda(cid:231)ªo Monte dei Paschi no que respeita em especial aos dois aspectos abordados? Resposta dada por Mario Monti em nome da Comissªo (8 de Maio de 2000) A Comissªo estÆ actualmente a examinar a compatibilidade da lei italiana no461/98 com as regras em matØria de concorrŒncia, nomeadamente as que dizem respeito aos aux(cid:237)lios estatais. Ap(cid:243)s ter examinado os documentos apresentados pelas autoridades italianas, a Comissªo enviou (cid:224)s autoridades italianas, a 23 de Mar(cid:231)o de 2000, um pedido de informa(cid:231)ıes suplementares relativamente aos benef(cid:237)cios fiscais previstos pela lei supracitada a favor de funda(cid:231)ıes bancÆrias e de bancos sujeitos a opera(cid:231)ıes de concentra(cid:231)ªo. O problema levantado pelo Senhor Deputado tem a ver com a compatibilidade do estatuto de uma funda(cid:231)ªo bancÆria (a do Monte dei Paschi de Sienne) com a lei no 461/98 no que diz respeito (cid:224) nomea(cid:231)ªo dos representantes das autoridades locais no seio do conselho de administra(cid:231)ªo da referida funda(cid:231)ªo. Tal problema de compatibilidade entre o acto de uma funda(cid:231)ªo bancÆria e uma lei do Estado italiano nªo Ø abrangido pelas regras em matØria de aux(cid:237)lios estatais, nem pelas regras da realiza(cid:231)ªo do mercado œnico dos servi(cid:231)os bancÆrios. Por conseguinte, este problema encontra-se fora do (cid:226)mbito da competŒncia da Comissªo, sendo antes da competŒncia do (cid:243)rgªo jurisdicional nacional
