text: 21. 12. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 370/7 (1999/C 370/008) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3069/98 by David Bowe (PSE) to the Commission (9 October 1998) Subject: Primates What is the Commission’s policy and practice regarding EU finances being used to fund primate experiments, and what are the total amounts of EU funding expended on primate experiments for each of the following years: 1996, 1997, 1998 (to date); and how many primates does this represent? (1999/C 370/009) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3071/98 by Michael Elliott (PSE) to the Commission (9 October 1998) Subject: Primates What statistics/information does the European Commission keep on the numbers of primates used in EU- funded research projects, the purpose of their use and the amount of EU funding involved; and what are the Commission’s detailed plans for monitoring and recording EU-funded research in this sensitive area in the future? If such statistics and information have been kept: / What is the amount of EU funding awarded to research into BS/TSE using primates for each of the years, 1996, 1997, 1998 (to date) and how many primates does this represent for each of these years? / What is the amount of EU funding awarded to research into AIDS using primates for each of the years, 1996, 1997, 1998 (to date) and how many primates does this represent for each of these years? Supplementary joint answer to Written Questions E-3069/98 and E-3071/98 given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (27 May 1999) Further to its answer of 16 November 1998 (1), the Commission is now able to provide the following additional information. There is no statistical information kept by the Commission on the number of primates used in Community funded research projects and the amount of funding involved. Nevertheless after inquiry with the coordinators of the projects the following information could be gathered: 1. Funding allocated to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) research involving primates amounts to ECU 223 400 in 1997 and ECU 504 300 in 1998. 200 macaques and 6 to 12 chimpanzees were used in Community funded AIDS research contracts (signed between 1994 and 1998) under the 4th framework programme (2). 2. The bovine spongiform encephalopathy/transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (BSE/TSE) research projects will only start in the year 1999. 78 macaques and 16 rhesus monkeys, but no chimpanzees, are expected to be involved in these projects. All these projects have been subject to scientific evaluation by multidisciplinary experts, who also consider the justification for using animal experimentation, and particularly with primates. For strictly defined research on AIDS and BSE, well-reasoned primate experimentation remains the only way to ensure the production of knowledge of any value to develop diagnosis, treatment or vaccination that has applicability to human beings

text: C 182/42 Euroopan yhteisöjen virallinen lehti FI 28. 6. 1999 yhteisön tukea toiminnalleen vuonna 1998; edellisenä vuonna luku oli 26. Tuen myöntämisperusteita siis tiukennettiin. Keskeiset perusteet olivat koordinoinnin laajuus järjestön kansallisten jäsenten välillä sekä vammaisten aktiivinen osallistuminen toiminnan johtamiseen ja koordinointiin. Näillä perusteilla Mental Health Europe -järjestön hakemus arvioitiin heikommaksi kuin komission saamat muut hakemukset. Komissio pyrkii kuitenkin varmistamaan, että Mental Health Europe -järjestön tähänastinen arvokas työ mielenterveyden edistämiseksi yhteisössä voi jatkua. Kansanterveyden edistämiseen tähtäävien toimien puitteissa Mental Health Europe -järjestö saa parhaillaan merkittävää tukea kaksivuotiseen Euroopan jolla pyritään edistämään alle kuusivuotiaitten lasten mielenterveyttä. Komissio on laajuiseen projektiin, lisäksi ollut yhteydessä järjestöön sosiaalisen syrjäytymisen torjuntaa koskevien toimien yhteydessä ja tutkinut järjestön mahdollisuuksia myötävaikuttaa osallisuutta edistävän yhteiskunnan kehittämiseen. (1999/C 182/053) KIRJALLINEN KYSYMYS E-3080/98 esittäjä(t): Markus Ferber (PPE) komissiolle (9. lokakuuta 1998) Aihe: Liikenteen aiheuttamat rasitteet Itävallan rajavaltioissa Itävallan tiemaksupakon vuoksi Itävallan otettua käyttöön tiemaksupakon on Itävallan rajalla maantien B 31 varrella sijaitseva Lindau-Zechin alue kärsinyt kohtuuttomasti rajat ylittävästä liikenteestä. Monet autoilijat, jotka ovat matkalla Sveitsiin tai Itävaltaan, jättävät moottoritien A 96 päästäkseen maantien B 31 kautta päämääräänsä ja säästyäkseen siten tiemaksuilta. 1. Mitä komissio aikoo tehdä ehkäistäkseen liikenteen aiheuttamia rasitteita samassa tilanteessa olevilla rajaseuduilla? 2. Onko komissiossa suunnitelmia, joiden mukaan valtiot, joiden alueella peritään tiemaksuja, velvoitetaan lykkäämään tiemaksujen perimistä ensimmäiseen rajanjälkeiseen moottoritien poistumisliittymään asti, jotta kulloisenkin toisen valtion raja-asukkaiden ei tarvitsisi kärsiä suuremmista liikennemääristä? Komission jäsenen Neil Kinnockin komission puolesta antama vastaus (6. marraskuuta 1998) jäsenvaltiot joka velvoittaisi ja sen on Itävallan henkilöautoliikenteeseen soveltama maksujärjestelmä on arvioitu yksityiskohtaisesti, todettu olevan yhteisön lainsäädännön mukainen. Yhteisön lainsäädännössä ei kuitenkaan ole erillistä säännöstä, lykkäämään tietullien kantamista ensimmäiseen rajanjälkeiseen moottoritien poistumisliittymään asti. Toissijaisuusperiaatteen mukaisesti jäsenvaltiot voivat vapaasti päättää henkilöautoihin sovellettavista maksuista moottoriteillä. Saman periaatteen mukaisesti jäsenvaltiot voivat päättää, haluavatko ne sulkea käytäntönsä ulkopuolelle moottoritien osan rajalta ensimmäiseen poistumis- liittymään. Jotkin jäsenvaltiot tekevätkin näin. Jäsenvaltiot eivät ole tehneet yhtään ehdotusta tällaisen menettelyn pakollistamiseksi koko unionin alueella. Komission suunnitelmissa ei toistaiseksi ole ehdottaa aiheeseen liittyvää lainsäädäntöä

text: 21. 5. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 142/81 Reply (18/19 January 1999) In reply to the questions put by the Honourable Member concerning possible regulation of lotteries at Community level, the Council would like to make the following points. The Council has received no proposal for any legal act for the purpose of regulating games of chance. Consequently, there are no plans for a Council act in this area. The Council would also point out that the infringement proceedings referred to in Article 169 of the EC Treaty do not provide for intervention by the Council. Furthermore, since no act of the Council is in question in the case before the Court to which the Honourable Member refers, no intervention by the Council in this case can be contemplated. (1999/C 142/099) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3073/98 by José Pomés Ruiz (PPE) to the Council (16 October 1998) Subject: Proposal for a regulation in the field of employment creation and support to small and micro- enterprises in the Maghreb countries In July 1994 the Commission submitted a proposal for a regulation in the field of employment creation and support to small and micro-enterprises in the Maghreb countries, requiring the cooperation procedure. Conscious of the importance of its report, Parliament completed the procedure as speedily as possible and delivered its opinion at first reading on 28 October 1994. The Commission subsequently submitted a modified version of the original proposal on 22 December 1994, in which it incorporated most of Parliament’s amendments. Since then Parliament has been awaiting the common position of the Council, but no such text has been forthcoming and no explanation has been given for the failure to submit it. The situation has now become even more serious in view of recent events surrounding the growing illegal emigration from the Maghreb countries (chiefly Morocco) to Spain, with more than 200 people losing their lives in the Strait of Gibraltar in the current year alone. Can the Council give any reason for the delay in submitting its common position? Can the Council say when it expects to forward the common position? Reply (18/19 January 1999) The Honourable Member is asked to refer to the Council’s reply to Written Question No 0364/98 by Mr Fernández Martín.

text: 11. 10. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 289/21 (1999/C 289/027) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3070/98 by Mary Banotti (PPE) to the Commission (9 October 1998) Subject: Legal requirement to carry identity cards Could the Commission say which Member States legally require their members to carry identity cards? Could the Commission supply any up-to-date information on proposals for a standardised identity card throughout the Member States for the future? Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (11 December 1998) On the basis of the information available to the Commission six Member States require their citizens to carry identity cards (Belgium, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal). Not all Member States require identity cards. A proposal on the harmonization of the layout of identity cards is not among the priorities fixed by the Commission’s work programme. (1999/C 289/028) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3083/98 by Pedro Marset Campos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (16 October 1998) Subject: Standard qualifications for cinema and video projectionists and technicians working in cinemas and theatres in the EU Given that professional qualifications for cinema and video projectionists and technicians differ across EU Member States: 1. Is the Commission aware of the professional status of cinema and video projectionists and technicians in the Member States? 2. Will it say whether in all the Member States except Spain, cinema projectionists having completed the relevant course then obtain professional qualifications which are standardised across EU Member States in such a way as to enable them to practise their profession in any other Member State? 3. Is it aware that in contrast to the practice in other EU Member States, cinema projectionists in Spain are not awarded professional qualifications in line with European standards? Will it explain why this is so? 4. As guardian of the Treaties, does it not believe that this situation discriminates against Spanish cinema projectionists and thus fails to comply with the spirit of the EU Treaties? Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (14 December 1998) The mutual recognition of cinema and video projectionists’ and technicians’ diplomas or qualifications is governed by the general system for the recognition of diplomas within the Community. This system is based on two directives: Council Directive 89/48/EEC of 21 December 1988, which establishes a general system for the recognition of higher-education diplomas awarded on completion of professional training of at least three years’ duration (1), and Council Directive 92/51/EEC of 18 June 1992, which establishes a second general system for the recognition of professional education and training (2). Depending on their level of training, cinema and video projectionists’ and technicians’ qualifications are therefore covered by one or other of these directives

text: 11. 10. 1999 DA De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende C 289/21 (1999/C 289/027) SKRIFTLIG FORESPØRGSEL E-3070/98 af Mary Banotti (PPE) til Kommissionen (9. oktober 1998) Om: Lovfæstet krav om at medføre identitetskort Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvilke medlemsstater der ved lov kræver, at borgerne medfører identitetskort? Kan Kommissionen give eventuelle ajourførte oplysninger om forslag om indførelse af et standardiseret identitetskort for alle medlemsstaterne på et tidspunkt i fremtiden? Svar afgivet på Kommissionens vegne af Mario Monti (11. december 1998) I henhold til de oplysninger, som Kommissionen er i besiddelse af, kræver seks medlemsstater, at deres statsborgere skal have identitetskort på sig (Belgien, Grækenland, Spanien, Frankrig, Italien, Portugal). Ikke alle medlemsstater kræver således identitetskort. Et forslag om at harmonisere udformningen af identitetskort indgår ikke i Kommissionens arbejdsprogram. (1999/C 289/028) SKRIFTLIG FORESPØRGSEL E-3083/98 af Pedro Marset Campos (GUE/NGL) til Kommissionen (16. oktober 1998) Om: Standardkvalifikationer for biograffilm- og videooperatører og -teknikere, der arbejder i biografer og teatre i EU I betragtning af at biograffilm- og videooperatørers og -teknikeres faglige kvalifikationer er meget forskellige fra medlemsstat til medlemsstat, ønskes det oplyst: 1. om Kommissionen er bekendt med biograffilm- og videooperatørers og -teknikeres faglige niveau i medlemsstaterne? 2. 3. vil Kommissionen oplyse, om biograffilmoperatører i alle medlemsstater bortset fra Spanien, der har gennemført den relevante uddannelse, opnår de samme standardiserede faglige kvalifikationer, således at de kan udøve deres erhverv i enhver anden medlemsstat? er Kommissionen bekendt med, at biograffilmoperatører i Spanien i modsætning til biograffilmoperatører i de øvrige medlemsstater ikke opnår sådanne standardiserede faglige kvalifikationer? Vil Kommissionen oplyse, hvorfor det er sådan? 4. mener Kommissionen som traktaternes vogter ikke, at denne situation er diskriminerende for spanske biograffilmoperatører, samt at det er i strid med ånden i Unionstraktaten? Svar afgivet på Kommissionens vegne af Mario Monti (14. december 1998) Den gensidige anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser eller kvalifikationer for biograffilm- og videooperatører og - teknikere hører ind under den generelle ordning for anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser, som er fastsat på EU- plan. Denne ordning er baseret på to direktiver. Ved Rådets direktiv 89/48/EØF af 21. december 1988 er der indført en generel ordning for gensidig anerkendelse af eksamensbeviser for erhvervskompetencegivende videregående uddannelser af mindst 3 års varighed (1). Senere er dette direktiv blevet suppleret af Rådets direktiv 92/51/EØF af 18. juni 1992 (2) om anden generelle ordning for anerkendelse af erhvervsuddannelser. Afhængig af niveauet hører uddannelser til biograffilm- og videooperatører og -teknikere således ind under et af disse to direktiver
