Derfor błr det p(cid:229) et af de n(cid:230)ste młder i arbejdsgruppen drłftes, hvordan det skal bedłmmes, at Bayern indplacerer de professionelle brandkorps som ordensmyndigheder og dermed forsłger at holde dem uden for direktivets bestemmelser. Har Kommissionen allerede drłftet dette problem i arbejdsgruppen eller p(cid:229) andre planer? I bekr(cid:230)ftende fald, med hvilket resultat? I ben(cid:230)gtende fald, hvorfor ikke? (1) EFT C 345 af 15. 11. 1996, s. 36.

Medlemsstaternes eksperter har p(cid:229) linje med svaret p(cid:229) skriftlig forespłrgsel E-1173/96 (2) fra det (cid:230)rede medlem skłnnet, at brandm(cid:230)nd ikke kan sidestilles med »v(cid:230)bnede styrker« eller »ordensh(cid:229)ndh(cid:230)vende myndigheder«, og fłlgelig, at det materiel, der er omhandlet i direktiv 89/686/E(cid:216)F, og som benyttes af brandv(cid:230)senet, heller ikke skal medregnes under undtagelserne fra dette. Kommissionen vil derfor tr(cid:230)ffe de nłdvendige foranstaltninger over for medlemsstaterne med henblik p(cid:229) at sikre en ensartet anvendelse af f(cid:230)llesskabsretten. Kommissionen minder det (cid:230)rede medlem om, at R(cid:229)dets direktiv 89/686/E(cid:216)F sikrer fri bev(cid:230)gelighed for de produkter, der er omfattet heraf, men at det ikke vedrłrer produkter, som allerede var taget i brug. De forskellige brandkorps kan s(cid:229)ledes, uden tidsbegr(cid:230)nsning, fortsat benytte det udstyr, de r(cid:229)der over, og som de er vant til.

text: 25. 5. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 158/5 passport: (cid:145)I therefore intend to delete the Netherlands nationality of Jolanda Letitia Bona from our personal records database and withdraw the Netherlands passport(cid:146). Does the Presidency realize that for Amsterdam municipal executive to delete Jolanda Bona(cid:146)s Netherlands nationality from the personal records database and withdraw the Netherlands passport issued to her on 9 September 1996 is unlawful under both national and international law and that European citizens(cid:146) confidence in the rule of law and due legal process is being seriously damaged by the conduct of Amsterdam municipal executive? 2. Does not the Presidency agree that, quite apart from the question of whether unilateral withdrawal of a passport and/or deletion of nationality from the personal records database without the consent of the person concerned may have been legally correct, the measures adopted by Amsterdam municipal executive were unworthy of a European administrative body, even if mistakes had been made and needed to be rectified? 3. Does not the Presidency agree that the conduct of Amsterdam municipal executive is not an acceptable way of treating the interests and emotions of citizens › and in this case even of a 14-year-old child › in contemporary Europe? 4. Will the Presidency, on the basis of the confidence principle which European citizens may expect in a European state governed by the rule of law, consult with the parties concerned with the aim of reviewing the decision of the Amsterdam authority which, curiously enough, was taken on the instructions of the Netherlands State Secretary for Justice, and will it take into account the fact that the father and the two younger sisters of Jolanda Bona are being permitted to retain their Netherlands nationality and the passports issued to them on 9 September 1996, so that Jolanda Bona is the only member of the family who would be deported from the Netherlands? (98/C 158/07) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2672/97 by Leonie van Bladel (UPE) to the Council (1 September 1997) Subject: Harm done to the citizen(cid:146)s confidence in the EU › follow-up to previous questions on Jolanda Bona 1. The Amsterdam municipal council has informed 14-year-old Jolanda Bona, who originates from Surinam, that it will be depriving her of her Dutch citizenship and that she should surrender the Dutch passport issued to her by the Mayor of Amsterdam on 6 September 1996. Does the Council feel that we may treat the interests of a citizen, in this case a 14-year-old child, in this way in present-day Europe? 2. Jolanda Bona, who has spent the last few months alone, locked in her small room for fear of being picked up by the aliens police, has been so traumatically damaged by the whole affair that her step-mother and her father decided it was irresponsible to allow the situation to continue any longer. On 17 July 1997 Jolanda went with her step-mother to the aliens police in Amsterdam to put an end to the uncertainty. With her parents(cid:146) approval, she intended to surrender her Dutch passport and recover her Surinamese passport so that she might return to Surinam. The aliens police told her this was impossible. According to them, she was now a Dutch citizen. Does the Council not feel that this represents an abuse of the confidence which a citizen is entitled to have in a European constitutional state? Joint answer to Written Questions E-2321/97 and E-2672/97 (20 January 1998) Matters relating to the acquisition or loss of the nationality of a Member State of the European Union by any individual fall exclusively within the competence of the Member State in question. There are no legal instruments of the Community or of the European Union concerning such matters. The Council cannot therefore comment on the questions put by the Honourable Member

A‘ son retour, elle a plaide· notamment en faveur du soutien de projets relatifs aux droits de l(cid:146)homme, a‘ l(cid:146)e·ducation, aux soins de sante· et aux infrastructures. Re·cemment, sous la pre·sidence ne·erlandaise, il a de nouveau e·te· de·cide· d(cid:146)envoyer une mission en Colombie. 1. a) Le Conseil peut-il indiquer ce qu(cid:146)il a entrepris apre‘s octobre 1995 pour mettre en (cid:156)uvre le soutien pre·conise· a‘ l(cid:146)e·poque et indiquer a‘ quels re·sultats cela a abouti en Colombie? b) Au cas ou‘ aucune suite n(cid:146)aurait e·te· donne·e au voyage de la tro(cid:14)¤ka de 1995, peut-il pre·ciser pourquoi il en a e·te· ainsi? 2. a) Dans quels de·lais la nouvelle mission en Colombie s(cid:146)effectuera-t-elle? b) Quelles seront les ta(cid:136)ches et les pouvoirs de cette mission? c) Comment le programme de la mission est-il e·tabli? 3. Le Conseil est-il dispose·, a‘ l(cid:146)issue de la mission, a‘ transmettre au Parlement europe·en un rapport sur ses constatations et sur les conse·quences politiques? Re·ponse (4 de·cembre 1997) Le Conseil a toujours suivi de tre‘s pre‘s la situation en Colombie et continuera a‘ le faire, en encourageant toutes les parties a‘ suivre la voie du dialogue et de la re·conciliation pour mettre un terme au conflit interne qui se·vit en Colombie et a‘ ses tragiques et fre·quentes manifestations de violence. L(cid:146)ouverture a‘ Bogota du bureau du Haut Commissaire des Nations unies pour les droits de l(cid:146)homme › qui be·ne·ficie du financement de l(cid:146)UE › constitue un fait marquant pour la coope·ration avec la Colombie. En ce qui concerne plus particulie‘rement les questions pose·es par l(cid:146)Honorable Parlementaire, le Conseil pre·cise que la tro(cid:14)¤ka en tant que telle ne s(cid:146)est pas rendue en Colombie au mois d(cid:146)octobre 1995. Les chefs de mission adjoints des Ambassades de la tro(cid:14)¤ka a‘ Bogota se sont rendus a‘ Uraba et Medellin les 27 et 28 octobre 1995 pour faire le point sur la situation des droits de l(cid:146)homme. Apre‘s cette mission d(cid:146)information, il avait e·te· envisage· que le bureau de la Commission europe·enne a‘ Bogota envoie une mission technique a‘ Uraba afin d(cid:146)identifier des projets potentiels de coope·ration. Faute de ressources humaines et pour des raison de se·curite·, cette mission de prise de contact avec les re·alite·s locales n(cid:146)a pu e(cid:136)tre effectue·e qu(cid:146)en 1997. La Commission a re·cemment de·cide· le financement d(cid:146)une action en faveur de la re·gion d(cid:146)Uraba pour un montant de 400 000 e·cus, dont l(cid:146)objectif est d(cid:146)appuyer les ONG locales actives dans le domaine des droits de l(cid:146)homme.

Esta actividad esta· controlada por lo general por empresas exteriores y multinacionales. Segu·n ha denunciado un amplio movimiento de protesta no violenta, y segu·n lo ha afirmado el propio Tribunal Supremo de la India, esta cr(cid:14)·a es extremadamente nociva para el medio ambiente y para el hombre, y la transformacio·n de las tierras para la acuicultura ha provocado graves repercusiones sociales. Por ello, la cr(cid:14)·a a amplia escala de camarones en la India contradice abiertamente los objetivos de «desarrollo sostenible» que preconiza la Unio·n Europea. ¿Puede informar la Comisio·n: 1. si en algu·n momento ha apoyado, directa o indirectamente, la creacio·n o aprovechamiento de criaderos de camarones en la India, 2. si considera que la actitud de las empresas, con sede en la Unio·n Europea, que actu·an en la India en este sector econo·mico es correcto o no, 3. si considera necesario adoptar medidas econo·micas, pol(cid:14)·ticas y medioambientales para favorecer la reconversio·n de esta actividad? Respuesta de la Sra. Bonino en nombre de la Comisio·n (24 de septiembre de 1997) 1. La Comision no ha apoyado la creacio·n ni el aprovechamiento de criaderos de camarones en la India. 2. La Comisio·n es consciente de las consecuencias nocivas que pueden derivarse de la cr(cid:14)·a intensiva de camaro·n en las zonas costeras. Por consiguiente, defiende una explotacio·n responsable de la acuicultura, de conformidad con el co·digo de conducta para una pesca responsable que ha sido suscrito por la Comunidad. La Comisio·n no es competente para juzgar el comportamiento de las empresas que ejerzan su actividad en la India en este sector. La Comisio·n no considera que deba adoptar medidas econo·micas, pol(cid:14)·ticas o medioambientales con el fin 3. de favorecer la reconversio·n de este tipo de cr(cid:14)·a.

Or, la re·glementation communautaire pre·voit que (lorsque la charge des prestations d(cid:146)assurance maladie n(cid:146)incombe pas au re·gime fran(cid:231)ais de se·curite· sociale) les pensionne·s re·sidant a‘ l(cid:146)e·tranger soient exone·re·s du pre·compte de la retenue de 3,6 %.

Quelle mesure la Commission va-t-elle prendre pour reme·dier a‘ cet e·tat des choses? Re·ponse donne·e par M. Flynn au nom de la Commission (16 octobre 1997) La Commission est tout a‘ fait consciente du proble‘me souleve· par l(cid:146)Honorable Parlementaire. C(cid:146)est la raison pour laquelle elle a introduit, en vertu de l(cid:146)article 169 du Traite· CE, un recours visant a‘ faire constater que, en pre·comptant une cotisation d(cid:146)assurance maladie sur les retraites comple·mentaires ainsi que sur les indemnite·s de pre·retraite per(cid:231)ues par des personnes re·sidant dans un E· tat membre autre que la France et dont la couverture des risques de maladie et de maternite· n(cid:146)est pas a‘ la charge d(cid:146)un re·gime fran(cid:231)ais, la France a manque· aux obligations qui lui incombent en vertu du Traite· CE et a, en particulier, enfreint les dispositions des articles 13, paragraphe 1, et 33 du re‘glement (CEE) no 1408/71 du 14 juin 1971, relatif a‘ l(cid:146)application des re·gimes de se·curite· sociale aux travailleurs salarie·s et a‘ leur famille qui se de·placent a‘ l(cid:146)inte·rieur de la Communaute· (1). Ce recours a e·te· rejete· par la Cour de justice au motif que les re·gimes comple·mentaires ne constituent pas des le·gislations au sens du re‘glement (CEE) no 1480/71; en conse·quence, l(cid:146)article 33 dudit re‘glement, qui interdit la double cotisation, ne leur est pas applicable. Cette jurisprudence montre qu(cid:146)une cate·gorie de travailleurs est insuffisamment prote·ge·e par la re·glementation communautaire en matie‘re de protection sociale, qui concerne la personne se de·pla(cid:231)ant a‘ l(cid:146)inte·rieur de la Communaute·.

(1) EYVL 22, 9. 2. 1965, s. 369. Komission ja¤senen Martin Bangemannin komission puolesta antama vastaus (29. syyskuuta 1997) Parlamentin ja¤senen esitta¤ma¤ kysymys na¤ytta¤a¤ viittaavan komissiolle tehtyyn valitukseen, jonka mukaan Portugalin oletetaan rikkoneen yhteiso¤n la¤a¤kelainsa¤a¤da¤nto¤a¤. Valituksen tekija¤n mukaan Portugalin toimivaltaiset viranomaiset ovat antaneet markkinointilupia la¤a¤kkeille ilmeisesti virheellisten la¤a¤ketieteellista¤ laatua koskevien asiakirjojen tai riitta¤ma¤tto¤mien tieteellisten asiakirjojen perusteella. Komissio tutkii asiaa huolellisesti ja Portugalin viranomaisille la¤hettiin va¤ha¤n aikaa sitten kirje, jossa pyydettiin lisa¤tietoja. Rikkomisesta johtuvan menettelyn ainoana tavoitteena on varmistaa, etta¤ yhteiso¤n la¤a¤kelainsa¤a¤da¤nto¤a¤ noudate- taan kokonaisuudessaan.

text: C 102/116 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 3. 4. 98 (98/C 102/167) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2771/97 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission (1 September 1997) Subject: Free movement of people Can the Commission confirm that free movement of people is intended as a two way street i. e. both in and out of Member States? What proposals do they intend to make to ensure convicted criminals and suspects can be quickly and simply moved to the Member State of conviction or to the Member State investigating an offence? Answer given by Mrs Gradin on behalf of the Commission (3 October 1997) A number of international agreements govern the arrangements for the extradition of suspected or convicted criminals from one Member State to another, the principal agreement being the European Convention on extradition, 1957 and its Protocols of 1975 and 1978. In addition Member States have concluded two conventions to facilitate the application of the European Convention and to improve on its provisions, the Convention relating to simplified extradition procedures concluded on 10 March 1995 and the Convention relating to extradition between the Member States of the European Union concluded on 27 September 1996. As long as Member States have not ratified the conventions, the problems that the Honourable Member raises will not be solved. (98/C 102/168) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2774/97 by Marjo Matikainen-Kallstro¤m (PPE) to the Commission (1 September 1997) Subject: Female circumcision in Egypt An Egyptian court has reversed the government ban on female circumcision. The court ruling was a severe blow to human rights groups and, of course, Egyptian women. It champions the opposing cause, namely female circumcision and the doctors who earn their livelihood by performing the operation. As a result of circumcision, many women suffer continuously from bleeding and traumas and completely lose their libido. Many have also died after being compelled to undergo circumcision at the hands of amateur surgeons, in many cases barbers. The Union(cid:146)s assistance to Egypt amounts to tens of millions of ecus a year. One aim of the support is to improve the social situation in the country. What measures will the Commission undertake to improve the position of women in Egypt by ensuring that female circumcision is prohibited? Answer given by Mr Marin on behalf of the Commission (26 September 1997) The Commission deplores the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) as dangerous on health grounds, and as an inhuman physical assault on the human rights of women and girls. The Commission condemns the practice and supports measures to eradicate it through its own programmes and through the efforts of others. The Commission fully subscribes to the strong positions taken against FGM in the Cairo Conference of 1994 and the Beijing Conference of 1995

text: C 102/66 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 3. 4. 98 Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (1 October 1997) According to the third paragraph of Article 175 of the EC Treaty, any natural or legal person may complain to the Court of Justice that an institution of the Community › such as the Commission › has failed to address to that person any act other than a recommendation or an opinion. The complainant can bring an action in respect of the Commission’s failure to reach a decision on the complaint. However, according to the second paragraph of Article 175, the action is admissible only if the institution concerned has first been called upon to act and has not defined its position within two months of being so called upon. The action may then be brought before the Court of Justice within a further period of two months. The Court of Justice itself is not required to pass judgment within a given period. However, under Article 186 of the EC Treaty, it may prescribe any necessary interim measures in any cases before it. Another possibility for which the EC Treaty makes provision is that set out in Article 177. Under this Article, a court or tribunal in one of the Member States to which a question on the interpretation of the Treaty is submitted and which considers that a decision on the question is necessary to enable it to give judgment can refer the matter to the Court of Justice for a ruling. However, it is the national court or tribunal which decides whether the question is to be submitted to the Court of Justice; parties in the proceedings at national level cannot oblige it to refer the matter to the Court. It is not possible to say, on the basis of the facts supplied in the Honourable Member’s question, whether this possibility could be relevant to the present proceedings.

Stainless steel offers the following advantages: 1. economic: a saving of over ECU 300 million would be made, taking into account only the three intermediate-denomination coins (0. 1, 0. 2 and 0. 5 euro), 2. technical: the material lends itself to coin production, maintains appearance and shape, and is suitable for vending machines, 3. health: the stainless steels used in the coins produced by the Mints of the principal Member States present no risk to public health;

text: 30. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 134/21 Answer (22 December 1997) The European Union shares the Honourable Member(cid:146)s concern about the human rights situation in 1. Burma/Myanmar, including the problem of forced labour. The European Union has constantly denounced these deplorable practices, most recently at the Ministerial Meetings of the ARF (ASEAN Regional Forum) and ASEAN PMC (Post-Ministerial Conference), which were held on 27 and 28 July 1997 in Kuala Lumpur, where Burma was present as a new member of ASEAN. 2. The European Union is continuing to try and persuade the ASEAN countries to use their power to exert pressure on Burma in order to improve the situation in that country. The General Affairs Council on 26 June 1997 also concluded that the presence of Burma as a new member of ASEAN at the ARF and ASEAN PMC Ministerial Meetings in Kuala Lumpur did not prejudge in any way the possibility of Burma participating in the meetings organized as part of the EU-ASEAN bilateral dialogue. 3. At the same time, the European Union has implented a number of measures aimed at the SLORC (State Law and Order Restoration Council) regime in power in Rangoon/Yangon. The Honourable Member mentioned the Council(cid:146)s decision to suspend the genralized preferences system; the Council also adopted a Common Position in October 1996 imposing administrative and visa restrictions on members of the Burmese military junta. This Common Position, which was originally for a period of six months, was initially extended in April 1997. At its meeting on 20 and 21 October 1997 the Council extended the Common Position for a further six months. (98/C 134/26) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2754/97 by Michl Ebner (PPE) to the Commission (1 September 1997) Subject: Compliance of Italian Decree DL 31/12/1996 No 669 with EU law Assuming that Council Directive 90/364/EEC of 28 June 1990 on the right of residence (1), which aims to place all EU citizens on an equal footing, applies in this case would the Commission say whether Article 29 of DL 31/12/1996 No 669 complies with EU law? Does Article 29 place at a disadvantage citizens from other EU Member States resident in Italy, since vehicles registered abroad before 1 January 1987 which they have brought with them and licensed in Italy are not covered by the decree? (1) OJ L 180, 13. 7. 1990, p. 26. Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (21 October 1997) Under Article 29 of Decree Law No 669 of 31 December 1996 on assistance for the purchase of new motor vehicles in exchange for the scrapping of similar used goods (1), the assistance is available only if the vehicle to be scrapped was first registered before 1 January 1987. This condition does not seem contrary to Community law. Furthermore, the provision in question does not seem to require the used vehicle to be registered in Italy. However, should the Honourable Member have any knowledge of specific cases of discrimination based on the Member State in which a used vehicle is registered, the Commission would like to be informed so that it can verify whether or not there has been a breach of Community law.

text: 16. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 117/37 Can it also investigate reports that the Santa Pola Regional Government is demonstrating lack of supervision over the landing of immature and undersize catches? Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission (30 October 1997) The sale of small-sized fish has traditionally been a widespread phenomenon in Mediterranean countries. A fair assessment of the situation, however, should take account of the fact that species from different areas can reach maturity at different sizes. Thus fish exploited locally in the Mediterranean can reach maturity at a much smaller size than the same species from the Atlantic. This is particularly true for hake. The protection of small juvenile fish has always been at the centre of the Community(cid:146)s policy of conservation of maritime resources. To this effect, the Council adopted in 1994 a series of technical measures for the Mediterranean (including Council Regulation (EC) No 1626/94 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean (1)) which, amongst other things, specifies a minimum landing size of hake of 20 centimetres and prohibits the retention, processing and sale of undersized fish. It is the responsibility of each Member State to ensure compliance with the relevant technical measures under Community legislation. To that end, the authorities of Member States must monitor landings and carry out inspections at sea and in port. The Commission monitors the enforcement activities carried out by the authorities in Member States including the implementation of rules concerning the minimum size for hake (20 centimetres). (1) OJ L 171, 6. 7. 1994. (98/C 117/47) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2648/97 by Eryl McNally (PSE) to the Commission (1 September 1997) Subject: Steroid prescriptions Many patients have suffered both physically and financially from being prescribed steroids. Is the Commission aware of the strong public concern over this issue and does it intend to take any action to raise awareness amongst patients of the risks involved with taking steroids in prescribed drugs? (98/C 117/48) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2668/97 by Mark Watts (PSE) to the Commission (1 September 1997) Subject: Safety of steroid drugs Is an investigation into the safety of steroid drugs to be carried out, and if so what is the likely timescale for the investigation? If such an investigation goes ahead, will the Commission be calling for evidence from victims of side-effects from the drugs and if so, how will such evidence by called for?
