BACKGROUND 1. The action plan for the exchange between Member State administrations of national officials engaged in the implementation of Community legislation required to achieve the internal market, called the Karolus programme, has its origins in the 1985 Commission White Paper on completing the internal market,1 one of the principal objectives of which was to bring more closely into line legislation and mutual recognition of standards in a number of key fields. 2. In order to improve cooperation and promote mutual confidence between national administrations, thereby encouraging uniform application of Community internal-market legislation, the action plan was adopted by means of Council Decision 92/481 /EEC2 of 22 September 1992, to run for five years from 1 January 1993. 3. The Community institutions have since confirmed, on several occasions, the importance of administrative cooperation for the effective operation of the single market. On 16 February 1994 the Commission presented its first communication to Parliament the the Council on the development of administrative cooperation and implementation and enforcement of Community legislation in the internal market. 3 On 29 January 1996 it presented a report to Parliament and to the Council providing an in to 1 COM(85) 310 final, 14. 6. 1985. 2 OJ No L 286, 1. 10. 1992. 3 COM(94) 29 final. update on that cooperation. 4 In resolutions adopted on 16 June 19945 and 8 July 1996,6 the Council stressed its commitment to promoting greater cooperation in this field. 4. The Karolus programme is due to end in December 1997. However, the programme's operation and the results achieved through the exchanges undertaken during the first two years are such that the Commission intends shortly to present a proposal for a Parliament and Council Decision extending the programme in a modified and expanded form. Once the conclusions and recommendations contained in the interim assessment report7 undertaken by an independent firm had been made available, the Commission departments drew up a working paper with a view to preparing such a proposal for a Parliament and Council Decision extending the Karolus programme in a new formula comprising, in addition to the individual training measures such as exchanges of officials between Member State administrations, a range of joint training measures such as: - general seminars, to be arranged by the Commission regularly in each Member State, on administrative cooperation and the implementation of internal market rules; - joint sectoral seminars, open to all Member State officials working in the specific sector(s) concerned, to be arranged on the Commission's or the Member States' initiative; - national seminars, to be arranged by each Member State exclusively for its own the the other Member States and from officials, with guest speakers from Commission; - joint monitoring visits. These various measures were designed to enable more people to take part in the programme at less cost per participant. The working paper was submitted to the Karolus Management Committee in July 1996. But it emerged from that consultation that the Committee did not entirely share the views expressed in the interim assessment report. While it was prepared to engage in the process of adapting the current programme, the Committee stressed the importance of continuing to give priority to exchanges within the framework of an amended programme. Any changes made to certain components of the exchanges (for example, introductory and assessment seminars) must not lead to their being devalued. In the light of this, it seemed premature to present straightaway a proposal for a Parliament and Council Decision amending the programme. Thorough consultations are in progress, with a view - among other things - to determining the degree of centralization or decentralization of management, the nature of the seminars to be held 4 COM(96) 20 final. 5 Resolution No"94/C/l 79/01 (OJ No C 179/1, 1. 7. 1994). 6 No 96//C 224/02 - OJ No 224/3, 1. 8. 1996. 7 The assessment report (doc. XV/567/96), which is too bulky to enclose, is available on request from the DG XV. A. l secretariat, Tel. 295. 74. 56/296. 75. 11 - Fax 296. 09. 50. and the priority areas for the joint seminars, as well as budgetary changes and the resulting procedural changes. Reorienting the programme and expanding it to include a range of measures is a complex task owing to the large number of fields concerned (currently 22 priority areas) and, potentially, just as many different departments in each Member State administration as well as at the Commission. So that the programme can continue while these consultations are being carried out, it is proposed to extend the programme in its present form for two years, in accordance with the Management Committee's wish to see a transitional period. This extension would not entail an increase in the financial resources estimated as necessary in the 1992 Council Decision, since that amount has not been used up during the first five years. 5. The proposal to extend the programme also takes into account the Community decisions regarding the extension of Community programmes to the central and eastern European countries (CEECs) as well as to the EFTA countries that are EEA members and Cyprus: (i) (ii) in Community programmes; the Copenhagen European Council in June 1993 decided to permit the CEECs to in participate December 1994 drew up a pre-accession strategy which included wider access to Community programmes and the drawing-up of the White Paper on the preparation of those countries for integration into the internal market of the Union. Since the Europe Agreements concluded with those countries did not yet provide for their participation in Community programmes, the Community concluded additional protocols for that purpose; the Essen European Council in accordance with the objectives of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and the obligations deriving from that Agreement, which has been in force since 1 January 1994, the contracting parties are taking the necessary steps to develop, strengthen or extend their cooperation with regard to Community initiatives where they consider that such cooperation may contribute to achieving the objectives of that Agreement or would be of mutual benefit; (iii) with regard to Cyprus, the Council reaffirmed on 6 March 1995 "the suitability of "the - European Union's will to incorporate Cyprus in the next stage of its enlargement" the European Union" and confirmed accession Cyprus for to (see point III: Political background). II. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMME The Karolus programme implementing is designed for all persons Community legislation, whether they be central or local government employees or work for a private-sector organization entrusted with that responsibility. involved in The programme comprises: - the exchange, between Member States, of central or local government employees and of persons working for private-sector organizations designated by the competent authorities; each exchange lasts approximately two months; - a training seminar before each exchange; - an assessment seminar at the end of each exchange. The objectives of the programme are: - - - - - to promote a relatively uniform approach to the implementation of Community legislation; to make Member State officials aware of the European dimension of their work, and of the scope and importance of Community legislation; to permit cross-fertilization of ideas between Member State officials on the way in which Community legislation can be best implemented; to encourage participation by middle management so that the experience gained through the exchanges is disseminated as widely as possible; to ensure that the experience gained is applied in such a way as to attain the uniformity of implementation sought. III. POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND TECHNICAL BACKGROUND Extension of the Karolus programme must be seen in its political and financial context. The assessment made by the Commission in 1996 of the impact and effectiveness of the single market8 revealed that the uniform implementation of legislation by Member State administrations still poses a major challenge for the proper functioning of the internal market. Following the communications presented by the Commission to Parliament and the Council on 16 February 19949 on the development of administrative cooperation in the implementation and enforcement of Community legislation in the internal market and on 29 January 199610 on the situation with regard to such cooperation, the Council, in its resolution of 16 June 1994,11 called on the Commission to play a leading role in the practical organization of cooperation between the competent administrations of the Member States and the Commission departments. In its resolution of 8 July 1996,12 the Council called on the Member States and the Commission to continue with their programme of reviewing cooperation between administrations in areas of legislation important for the operation of the internal market listed in the Annex to the Council 8 COM(96) 520 final, 30. 10. 1996. 9 COM(94) 29 final. 10 COM(96) 20 final. 11 Resolution No 94/C/l 79/01 (OJNoC 179/1, 1. 7. 1994). 12 No 96//C 224/02-OJ No 224/3, 1. 8. 1996. -4 resolution of 16 June 1994, in particular by developing Community actions which provide cross-sector support for cooperation such as the programme for the exchange between Member State administrations of national officials (Karolus). The Member State's representatives on the Karolus Management Committee have also called for the programme to be continued. They greatly value its contribution to cooperation between Member State administrations and the experience gained by participants. The CEECs, the EFTA countries that are EEA members and Cyprus have more than once expressed an interest in taking part in the programme. The Copenhagen and Essen European Councils (June 1993 and December 1994) confirmed the suitability of the CEECs for accession to the European Union. The Europe Agreements or their Additional Protocols concluded between the. Community and the CEECs all provide for their participation in Community programmes. It should be stressed that the provision of training in the implementation of Community law forms an important part of the pre-accession strategy. On 3 May 1995 the Commission presented a White Paper on preparing the CEECs for integration into the internal market, in which it stressed the benefit of allowing them to take part in Community programmes. 13 Among other things, the White Paper provides for extending Karolus to those countries. In the case of Cyprus, the Council in 1995 not only adopted a timetable for accession negotiations but also specified the content of a pre-accession strategy including participation by Cyprus in Community programmes open to Member States and/or to accession candidates. Provision should therefore be made for the Karolus programme to be extended to the above-mentioned countries, while bearing in mind that the detailed arrangements for participation will have to be agreed in accordance with the Karolus programme criteria. IV. WHY ACTION AT UNION LEVEL IS NECESSARY The measures taken on administrative cooperation by each Member State administration are not, by themselves, sufficient to attain the desired objectives; it is therefore essential to backup national initiatives by joint programmes so that Member State officials the internal-market responsible Community dimension of their work and of the need for closer cooperation with their counterparts in other Member States. are aware of implementing legislation for Accordingly, it is felt that a training programme at Community level for such officials is one of the most appropriate ways of achieving this result. 13 COM(95) 163 final, page 31. -5 Of the thirteen Member State administrations for which an assessment of participation in the programme is available, nine rate Karolus as very good, two as excellent and two as beneficial. Since the implementation of Community legislation still differs widely from one Member State to another, participating administrations wish to see the programme extended beyond 1997 (doc. XV/567/96, p. 30, see point 1. 4 above). V. COSTS AND BENEFITS OF PROPOSED MEASURES FOR THE GROUPS MOST DIRECTLY AFFECTED The 1996 evaluation report states that "The potential benefits of improved administrative cooperation are thus enormous, in terms of savings for European businesses and especially SMEs, who suffer more from administrative and regulatory trade barriers than large companies. The costs of 'non-Europe' run into billions of Ecu so any reduction in trade barriers will be worth a considerable amount". The report stresses that the costs of the programme are relatively low compared with its results (doc. XV/567/96, p. 57, see point 1. 4 above). The Community contribution averages ECU 9281 per person for a two-month exchange and two seminars which form an integral part of the programme. Although this represents a considerable investment, it is easily outweighed by the potential costs of non-cooperation. VI. WHY THE MEASURES ARE REGARDED AS PROPORTIONATE On the basis of the assessment results and the discussions held within the Commission and the Management Committee, the Commission considers that - pending finalization of a modified Karolus II programme - the existing programme should be continued, in view of the contribution it has made to the proper functioning of the internal market. While the number of participants to date - on average 100 per year - has been below the figure forecast (some 300 per year), the Commission has no doubt that the general level of interest in the programme is very high. It attributes the low take-up rate to a number of difficulties that have turned out to be more significant than was initially thought: the lack of linguistic knowledge among potential applicants, budgetary constraints and staff cutbacks in Member State administrations have greatly reduced the scope for their officials to take part in this type of programme; a further constraint is the limited number of places available within the government departments in which applicants would most like to spend their exchange. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the number of applications submitted is steadily increasing. VII. VIEWS EXPRESSED BY INTERESTED PARTIES CONSULTED The Member States have expressed interest in this form of closer cooperation. The assessment of the Karolus programme has stressed the benefit of its continuation, along with the need to introduce other measures and to support the initiatives taken by improving and strengthening relations between Member States with a view administrations as regards internal-market legislation. to - 6- The Karolus Management Committee considers a transition period important so that the existing programme can continue while a broader programme is being devised. VIII. JUSTIFICATION OF CHOICE OF LEGAL BASIS Article 100a of the Treaty provided the legal basis for the initial proposal adopted by the Council in 199214 and thus remains valid for the proposal extending the programme's duration. IX. ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION OF PROPOSED MEASURES The existing programme is coordinated and organized by the Commission and the Member States, working in partnership within a management committee made up of Member State and Commission representatives. As in the past, the Commission will continue to monitor the implementation and budgetary aspects of the programme, paying particular regard to the level of participation and expenditure. After each batch of 50 exchanges, a progress report is distributed to the Member States and interested parties. Specific conditions governing participation by th ; EFTA countries which are members of the EEA and the countries of central and eastern Europe (CEECs) The programme is open to participation by the CEECs, in accordance with the terms laid down in the European Agreements or the Additional Protocols annexed to them regarding participation in Community programmes,. provided that the country concerned has into its national law and is actually implementing the Community incorporated legislation governing the field for which an exchange of oficials is sought. Participation is open to the EFTA countries that are EEA members and to Cyprus, the latter on the basis of additional appropriations and subject to the same rules as those applying to those countries, in accordance with procedures to be agreed with Cyprus. The detailed rules governing participation still need to be agreed at the appropriate stage between the parties concerned. X. HOW THE PROPOSED MEASURE FITS COMMISSION'S ANNUAL PROGRAMME IN WITH THE The proposal is presented in the context of completing the internal market. It seeks to extend-and adapt an existing legislative instrument. XI.

COST EFFECTIVENESS 9. 1 Specific and quantifiable objectives, target group The main objective of the action plan is to ensure the proper implementation of Community legislation in the context of completing the internal market. implementing The Karolus programme Community legislation, whether they be central or local government employees or work for a private-sector organization entrusted with that responsibility. is designed for all persons involved in It is estimated that around 200 people will take part in the first year for which extension is sought, and at least the same number in the second. 2 This figure is subject to revision and may increase or decrease depending on the actual number of participants. h 9. 2 Grounds for the operation The measures taken on administrative cooperation by each Member S^ate administration are not, by themselves, sufficient to attain the desired objectives; it is therefore essential to back up national initiatives by joint programmes so that Member State officials responsible for implementing internal-market legislation are aware of the Community dimension of their work and of the need for closer cooperation with their counterparts in other Member States in order to ensure that administrations are adapted to their tasks in the context of the Single Market. Accordingly, it is felt that a training programme at Community h < i\ :or such officials is one of the most appropriate ways of achieving this result. in keeping with the Commission's All the budgetary requirements are strictly institutional responsibility to ensure that rules laid down by the Council are implemented satisfactorily. Any neglect of that responsibility by the Commission would be prejudicial to the operation of the legislation. The operation is provided for in DG XV's financial planning. Choice of ways and means Joint funding by the Commission and the Member State administrations ensures involvement of the latter in determining the programme's objectives. Advantages over possible alternatives (comparative advantages) * Not applicable. Explanatory reference to similar Community or national operations * The Matthaeus customs and Matthaeus tax programmes are similar to Karolus at Community level, i. e. they include short exchanges and separate seminars that are open to staff who have not taken part in an exchange. The estimated cost per person is comparable, given the differences in the implementing arrangements (see assessment doc. XV/567/96, pp. 56-57, see point 4. 2 above). spin-off and multiplier effects expected * The training received by each participant has a multiplier effect since the experience gained is shared with colleagues in the host and home countries. factors of uncertainty which could affect the specific results of the operation The operation is in response to a need voiced by Member States. The only uncertainty lies in the number of people who will actually take part. /^ 9. 3 Monitoring and evaluation of the operation end-of-exchange The programme is subject to continual monitoring and evaluation: seminars are held during which participants give their assessment and share the experience they have gained with other seminar participants; the Management Committee is consulted regularly. A summary report on the results achieved is drawn up after each group of around 50 exchanges: these reports, together with those drawn up by each participant, are circulated to the Karolus Management Committee, the Member States, the Internal Market Advisory Committee, the European Public Services Committee and the departments involved. In addition, an outside company undertook an assessment of the programme in 1996, examining how it had functioned since its inception in January 1993 (doc. XV/567/96, 30 May 1996, see point 4. 2 above). Of the 13 home administrations surveyed in different Member States, nine assessed the programme as very good, two as excellent and two as useful. The results of the assessment were disseminated to the Karolus Management Committee, the Member States, the Internal Market Advisory Committee, the European Public Services Committee and the departments concerned. the implementation of Community Since rules still differs widely between Member States, an extension of, the programme beyond 1997 has been sought (doc. XV/567/96, p. 30, see point 4. 2 above). The Member States' representatives on the Karolus Management Committee have also requested the continuation of the programme. They attach great importance to the contribution made by the programme towards cooperation between Member State administrations and value the experience gained by participants. i% 10.

text: 3. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 102/57 (98/C 102/80) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2545/97 by Mihail Papayannakis (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (24 July 1997) Subject: Database of prices for medicinal products In view of the answer provided by Mr Bangemann, on behalf of the Commission, to my Question E-1486/97 (1) stating that the attempt to gather data in order to compare the prices of medicinal products in the Member States of the EU had failed, will the Commission answer the following supplementary questions: 1. when did work begin on setting up a database of prices of medicinal products and when did it realize that this was impossible? 2. what funds did it use to set up the database for medicinal prices through the ISPRA Institute in Italy? 3. according to its answer, the Commission ultimately preferred to gather the necessary information on the market. Why should the (cid:145)market(cid:146) succeed where the Commission has failed, namely in gathering the information that is required? 4. the Commission states that. (cid:146)it is extremely difficult to obtain comprehensive and reliable data which are regularly updated for all the Member States(cid:146). and. (cid:145)it is hazardous to compare them(cid:146). Why should the data gathered by private-sector market research organisations be comprehensive and reliable, and why will it not be hazardous to compare the data thus gathered? (1) OJ C 391, 23. 12. 1997, p. 89. Answer given by Mr. Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (29 September 1997) 1. Work on setting up a database of prices for medicinal products began in 1997. The initial project, Ecphin, set out to create the database on the basis of voluntary contributions from Member State authorities. This project had three main objectives: › to establish a logical model for identifying medication in the database; › to set up a computer network linking the Member States to the database; › to start feeding information into the database on a regular basis. The first two objectives were attained. The logical model is still used today and the Ecphin network was the prototype for the current EudraNet network. However, it proved impossible to get all the Member State authorities to feed the database at an agreed point in time. Only some Member States provided information, and at times that was sporadic, thus preventing reliable comparisons from being carried out. 2. The Ecphin project was carried out with institutional support from the Commission’s Joint Research Centre. 3. Given that it is extremely difficult to obtain comprehensive and reliable data which is regularly updated for all the Member States, the Commission eventually decided to publish a call for tenders in relation to the provision of data, on a regular basis and gathered at the same time in all the Member States, on prices for medicinal products by a company specialised in this kind of service. The Commission could of course have gathered this information itself, but at a considerably higher cost than that which a company which has already gathered this information for other customers would charge. 4. As part of the Ecphin project, Member States provided data gathered at different times, for different needs and by different means, thus rendering it hazardous to compare them. In the above-mentioned call for tenders, the Commission insisted that the data to be supplied be gathered at the same time and in the same way in all Member States, so that a comparison could at least be carried out whenever the same product is available in several Member States

text: C 117/22 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee 16. 4. 98 Risposta complementare data dal sig. Santer a nome della Commissione (24 novembre 1997) A causa dell(cid:146)ampiezza della risposta, la Commissione trasmette il testo direttamente all(cid:146)Onorevole Parlamentare ed al Segretariato generale del Parlamento. (98/C 117/28) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2524/97 di Panayotis Lambrias (PPE) alla Commissione (24 luglio 1997) Oggetto: Introduzione dell(cid:146)istituto degli ispettori ambientali In seguito alla modifica dell(cid:146)articolo 171 del trattato UE e all(cid:146)avvio dell(cid:146)imposizione di sanzioni da parte della CGCE (GU C 63 del 28. 2. 1997, pag. 2) si apre un nuovo periodo di imposizione rafforzata del diritto comunitario. Considerato che il diritto comunitario in materia di ambiente si e‘ particolarmente sviluppato negli ultimi vent(cid:146)anni e costituisce un interesse vitale per i cittadini e occorrendo stimolare ed intensificare gli sforzi degli Stati membri ai fini della sua applicazione s(cid:14)‘ da evitare l(cid:146)imposizione di gravose sanzioni pecuniarie da parte della CGCE, puo‘ la Commissione dire se intende introdurre l(cid:146)istituto degli ispettori ambientali in conformita‘ dell(cid:146)analogo modello esistente in altri settori della politica comunitaria? Risposta data dalla sig. ra Bjerregaard a nome della Commissione (15 settembre 1997) La Commissione e‘ pienamente conscia dell’importante funzione che svolgono alcuni corpi di ispettori nel settore dell’ambiente. Essa considera tuttavia della massima importanza che le varie autorita‘ competenti degli Stati membri svolgano in modo efficace l’attivita‘ di ispezione necessaria all’effettiva tutela ambientale. In questo contesto, la Commissione richiama l’attenzione dell’onorevole parlamentare in merito alla comunicazione del 22 ottobre 1996 (1) sull’attuazione del diritto comunitario in materia di ambiente. In tale comunicazione la Commissione dichiara di voler adottare alcune raccomandazioni che definiscano in particolare le linee guida nel settore delle ispezioni ambientali. La Commissione spera di contribuire in questo modo a ridurre la grande disparita‘ di situazioni attualmente esistente negli Stati membri. Il Consiglio, nella risoluzione del 19 giugno 1997, conferma l’impostazione auspicata dalla Commissione e chiede a quest’ultima di elaborare, in base ai lavori svolti nel quadro della «rete di attuazione del diritto comunitario sull’ambiente» (IMPEL (2)), i criteri minimi per le attivita‘ di ispezione svolte dagli Stati membri. La Commissione e‘ stata invitata a valutare gli eventuali mezzi che potrebbero consentire agli Stati membri di garantire un’attuazione ed un’applicazione uniforme della legislazione comunitaria in materia ambientale.

(98/C 117/29) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2531/97 di Gunilla Carlsson (PPE) alla Commissione (24 luglio 1997) Oggetto: Imposte sulle vendite di alcolici Oggigiorno, in Svezia, il diritto di vendere alcolici al pubblico e‘ riservato alla societa‘ di proprieta‘ statale «Systembolaget». Imprese private e aziende che si occupano delle importazioni possono tuttavia ottenere dall(cid:146)ispettorato per le bevande alcoliche la licenza di vendere alcolici ai ristoranti o, per l(cid:146)appunto, alla succitata Systembolaget

Komission ja¤senen Yves-Thibault de Silguyn komission puolesta antama vastaus (15. syyskuuta 1997) Euratom on antanut lainan British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. -yhtio¤lle. Osittaisrahoitusta koskenut 142 miljoonan USD:n (silloinen arvo 100 miljoonaa GBP:aa) lainasopimus tehtiin 11. (cid:150)17. joulukuuta 1986 termisen uraanioksidipolt- toaineen ja¤lleenka¤sittelylaitoksen rakentamiseksi vuonna 1987 Sellafieldiin, Cumbriaan. Tarkoituksena oli tukea voimalan termisen uraanioksidipolttoaineen vastaanottoa ja varastointia (tekninen kuvaus asiasta toimitetaan suoraan arvoisalle parlamentin ja¤senelle ja parlamentin sihteeristo¤lle). Lainan takaajana toimi Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan hallitus. Rakennuskustannusten arvioitiin olevan kokonaisuudessaan 1 550 miljoonaa GBP:aa, joista Euratom rahoitti 100 miljoonaa GBP:aa. Laina maksettiin 15. tammikuuta 1987, ja ta¤ysima¤a¤ra¤inen takaisinmaksu tapahtui yhtena¤ era¤na¤ 15. tammikuuta 1997. Lainasta ei ole ena¤a¤ mita¤a¤n maksamatta, eika¤ ta¤lla¤ hetkella¤ ole vireilla¤ muita hakemuksia lainan saamiseksi Euratomilta.

text: C 102/58 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 3. 4. 98 (98/C 102/81) SKRIFTLIG FR¯GA E-2546/97 fr(cid:229)n David Hallam (PSE) till kommissionen (24 juli 1997) A¤mne: Klein Constantia (Vin de Constance) Mot bakgrund av kommissionens svar p(cid:229) fr(cid:229)gan fo¤r skriftligt besvarande nummer P-1070/97 (1) har jag r(cid:229)dgjort med (cid:148)British Wine Standards Board(cid:148), som har upplyst mig om att ert svar a¤r felaktigt eftersom artikel 70 i r(cid:229)dets fo¤rordning (EEG) nr 822/87 (2) fo¤rbjuder barer att importera fr(cid:229)n tredje land om den totala alkoholhalten o¤verstiger 15 volymprocent. Kan kommissionen klargo¤ra om dess fo¤rsta svar a¤r riktigt samt om det har info¤rts annan lagstiftning som go¤r det till(cid:229)tet att importera vinet Klein Constantia till Europeiska unionen och om det a¤r av den anledningen som detta vin sa¤ljs i Danmark och Tyskland? (1) EGT C 319, 18. 10. 1997, s. 225. (2) EGT L 84, 27. 3. 1987, s. 1. Svar fr(cid:229)n Franz Fischler p(cid:229) kommissionens va¤gnar (8 oktober 1997) Med anledning av fr(cid:229)gan om import av vinet Klein Constantia till gemenskapen skulle kommissionen vilja klargo¤ra fo¤r parlamentsledamoten att det svar som han fick p(cid:229) den skriftliga fr(cid:229)gan P-1070/97 ga¤llde en fr(cid:229)ga om ma¤rkning av vin och i den fr(cid:229)gan st(cid:229)r kommissionen fast vid sitt sta¤llningstagande. Den fr(cid:229)ga som parlamentsledamoten nu sta¤ller ang(cid:229)ende alkoholhalten faller under besta¤mmelserna om produktion och utveckling av vin. Faktum a¤r att det i artikel 70. 1 b, fo¤rsta strecksatsen i fo¤rordning (EEG) nr 822/87 faststa¤lls att ett importerat vin inte f(cid:229)r ha en total alkoholhalt p(cid:229) mer a¤n 15 % vol. (med undantag fo¤r liko¤rviner i andra kategorier). Fo¤r viner av ho¤g kvalitet med geografisk beteckning och med vissa sa¤rskilda produktionsegenskaper (t. ex. vin framsta¤llt av druvor som a¤r angripna av gr(cid:229)mo¤gel) kan man emellertid go¤ra undantag fr(cid:229)n denna regel. Ett s(cid:229)dant undantag har beviljats av r(cid:229)det inom ramen fo¤r bilaterala avtal fo¤r vissa viner med ursprung i tredje land, genom vilka det garanteras att alkoholhalten i de bero¤rda vinerna inte har ho¤jts. Eftersom inget s(cid:229)dant avtal har ing(cid:229)tts med Sydafrika kan vinet Klein Constantia inte ens efter den 1 september 1997 f(cid:229) sa¤ljas i gemenskapen under beteckningen vin om dess alkoholhalt o¤verstiger 15 % vol. Kommissionen har inlett en underso¤kning hos de bero¤rda medlemsstaterna betra¤ffande de uppgifter som parlamentsledamoten (cid:229)beropar. (98/C 102/82) SKRIFTLIG FR¯GA E-2565/97 fr(cid:229)n Ursula Schleicher (PPE) till kommissionen (24 juli 1997) A¤mne: Vattenramdirektivet › bilagor som saknas Parlamentet och r(cid:229)det har b(cid:229)da kritiserat att det saknas viktiga bilagor till vattenramdirektivet. Kommissionen bortfo¤rklarar detta med att r(cid:229)det och parlamentet satte en alltfo¤r kort frist fo¤r framla¤ggandet av direktivet. Enligt uppgift har r(cid:229)det under tiden inra¤ttat en extra arbetsgrupp som skall utarbeta och komplettera bilagorna med kommissionens hja¤lp

Komissio pita¤a¤ myo¤s eritta¤in ta¤rkea¤na¤ sita¤, etta¤ ja¤senvaltioiden toimivaltaiset viranomaiset hoitavat tehokkaasti ympa¤ris- to¤nsuojelun kannalta tarpeelliset tarkastustehta¤va¤t. Ta¤ha¤n liittyen komissio pyyta¤a¤ parlamentin ja¤senta¤ tutustu- maan 22. lokakuuta 1996 antamaansa tiedonantoon (1) yhteiso¤n ympa¤risto¤lainsa¤a¤da¤nno¤n voimaan saattamisesta. Siina¤ komissio tuo julki aikeensa antaa suosituksia, joissa ma¤a¤ritella¤a¤n ympa¤risto¤tarkastusten alalla sovellettavat suuntaviivat. Na¤in komissio toivoo omalta osaltaan voivansa va¤henta¤a¤ sita¤ kirjavuutta, joka asiassa nykya¤a¤n vallitsee ja¤senvaltioissa. Neuvosto vahvistaa 19. kesa¤kuuta 1997 antamassaan pa¤a¤to¤slauselmassa komission suositteleman la¤hestymista- van, ja pyyta¤a¤ komissiota laatimaan yhteiso¤n ympa¤risto¤lainsa¤a¤da¤nno¤n ta¤yta¤nto¤o¤npanoa ja soveltamista koskevan verkoston (IMPEL (2)) yhteydessa¤ toteutettujen to¤iden perusteella va¤himma¤isvaatimukset ja¤senvaltioiden tasolla toteutettaville tarkastuksille. Komissiota kehotetaan myo¤s pohtimaan keinoja, joiden avulla ja¤senvaltiot voisivat varmistaa yhteiso¤n ympa¤risto¤lainsa¤a¤da¤nno¤n ta¤yta¤nto¤o¤npanon ja soveltamisen yhtena¤isella¤ tavalla. (1) KOM(96) 500 lopullinen. (2) IMPEL › European Union Network for Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law. (98/C 117/29) KIRJALLINEN KYSYMYS E-2531/97 komissiolle esitta¤ja¤(t): Gunilla Carlsson (PPE) (24. heina¤kuuta 1997) Aihe: Alkoholin myyntimaksut Alkoholin va¤hitta¤ismyynti Ruotsissa on nykyisin valtion omistaman Systembolaget-yhtio¤n yksinoikeus. Yksityiset yritykset ja tuontiyhtio¤t voivat toki saada viranomaisilta luvan myyda¤ alkoholia ravintoloille tai Systembolagetille
