(98/C 158/70) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-3201/97 de Cristiana Muscardini (NI) a la Comisio·n (16 de octubre de 1997) Asunto: Aceite de oliva extravirgen La unio·n nacional de consumidores italianos denuncia la pro·xima modificacio·n de las normas del comercio internacional de aceite de oliva, normas que ser(cid:14)·an recogidas en un reglamento comunitario que se publicara· pro·ximamente. 1. ¿Es cierto que dichas modificaciones van a permitir que un aceite extravirgen importado en Italia de cualquier pa(cid:14)·s podra· denominarse «italiano» si es simplemente filtrado en Italia y si se le an(cid:152)ade un porcentaje m(cid:14)·nimo de aceite virgen nacional? En caso afirmativo, ¿no considera la Comisio·n que tales pra·cticas representan un engan(cid:152)o legalizado frente 2. al consumidor, que no sabra· de que· zona procede el aceite extravirgen por e·l comprado? ¿Va a dejar de aplicarse al aceite de oliva el principio del origen controlado que se respeta en el caso de 3. otros productos, como el vino y el queso? ¿Que· piensa hacer la Comisio·n para garantizar la transparencia y la denominacio·n de origen, tambie·n para 4. el aceite, evitando la legalizacio·n de pra·cticas confusas y no correctas? (98/C 158/71) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-3383/97 de Riccardo Garosci (UPE), Livio Filippi (PPE), Giacomo Santini (UPE), Danilo Poggiolini (PPE), Antonio Trizza (NI), Monica Baldi (UPE) y Luisa Todini (UPE) a la Comisio·n (23 de octubre de 1997) Asunto: Etiquetado del aceite de oliva y propuesta de reforma del COI Se pregunta a la Comisio·n si piensa intervenir ante los organismos competentes para regular las intenciones del COI (Comite· Ole(cid:14)·cola Internacional) sobre la propuesta de reforma del reglamento relativo al etiquetado del aceite de oliva. Efectivamente, parece que el organismo internacional tenga la intencio·n, en su pro·xima reunio·n del 18. 11. 1997 en Turqu(cid:14)·a, de modificar el enunciado del etiquetado relativo al pa(cid:14)·s de produccio·n. En la pra·ctica, la nueva propuesta permitir(cid:14)·a que un aceite importado a determinado pa(cid:14)·s adquiriera denominacio·n de dicho pa(cid:14)·s, independientemente de su procedencia, a condicio·n simplemente de que sea tratado en ese pa(cid:14)·s (es decir, filtrado) y de que contenga una pequen(cid:152)a proporcio·n de aceite del pa(cid:14)·s en cuestio·n. Es evidente que este procedimiento va en contra de la lo·gica de la defensa de la transparencia de informacio·n y de calidad frente a los consumidores y frente a los mismos productores de la UE

title: WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3198/97 by Anita POLLACK to the Commission. Second company law Directive

eurovoc_concepts: action for failure to fulfil an obligation

text: 8. 6. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 174/23 1. 2. Have the assessment and selection of the schemes been completed, and how many and which of the proposals submitted with Greek participation were approved? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (9 December 1997) The assessment and selection of the schemes proposed in response to the invitation to submit proposals 1. referred to by the Honourable Member have not yet been completed. The Commission is therefore not able at present to give the Honourable Member the information he has 2. asked for concerning the Greek proposals. (98/C 174/56) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3198/97 by Anita Pollack (PSE) to the Commission (16 October 1997) Subject: Second company law Directive Does the Commission think there is sufficient basis in Directive 77/91 (1) to take action against any government for actions taken which were in breach of this Directive, in the period between the coming into force of the Directive and amendment of national legislation? (1) OJ L 26, 31. 1. 1977, p. 1 Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (8 December 1997) The Commission can initiate infringement proceedings against a Member State for failure to fulfil any of its obligations under Community law. This principle naturally applies in the case of the legislation mentioned by the Honourable Member, namely Council Directive 77/91/EEC of 13 December 1976 on coordination of safeguards which, for the protection of the interests of members and others, are required by Member States of companies within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 58 of the Treaty, in respect of the formation of public limited liability companies and the maintenance and alteration of their capital, with a view to making such safeguards equivalent. The question of whether or not infringement proceedings should be initiated, and what should be their scope, can however be addressed only in relation to a specific infringement by a particular Member State and in relation to that Member State(cid:146)s national legislation. (98/C 174/57) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3212/97 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission (16 October 1997) Subject: Airline timetabling In view of the fact that airlines publish flight times that only on the rarest of occasions are met, does the Commission consider it should take action to regulate these timetables? Might it consider, in the interests of improved customer information, recommending that schedules must reflect the average performance achieved duirng the previous twelve months?

text: C 158/58 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee 25. 5. 98 Risposta comune data dal Sig. Fischler in nome della Commissione alle interrogazioni scritte E-3201/97 e E-3383/97 (17 novembre 1997) Anzitutto e‘ opportuno precisare che, in base alla norma COI (Consiglio oleicolo internazionale) applicabile all’olio d’oliva e all’olio di sansa di oliva, le pratiche alle quali fanno riferimento gli onorevoli parlamentari possono conferire al prodotto ottenuto l’attestazione di origine del paese in cui viene filtrato e mescolato con l’olio d’oliva nazionale. Proprio per evitare che tali pratiche si riproducano, la Commissione ha invitato il COI a rivedere tale norma, introducendo fra l’altro condizioni piu‘ severe e trasparenti per il conferimento dell’attestazione di origine. La revisione della norma COI per quanto riguarda la nozione del paese di origine sara‘ esaminata nel quadro della 77a sessione del COI, che si terra‘ in Turchia dal 17 al 21 novembre 1997. (98/C 158/72) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-3202/97 di Luciano Vecchi (PSE) alla Commissione (16 ottobre 1997) Oggetto: Rifugiati Saharawi Si chiede alla Commissione europea se siano state adottate iniziative di assistenza al piano di rimpatrio volontario dei rifugiati saharawi, recentemente predisposto dall(cid:146)Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i rifugiati, in particolare per quanto riguarda la loro registrazione, il reinsediamento e la riabilitazione. Risposta data dal Sig. Mar(cid:14)·n in nome della Commissione (27 novembre 1997) Dal 1993 i contributi complessivi della Commissione (Ufficio umanitario della Comunita‘ europea) a favore dei profughi del Sahara occidentale sono stati pari a 20 MECU. L’anno scorso sono stati assegnati in totale 7 MECU, di cui 2 MECU provenienti dalla linea di bilancio B7-644 adottata dal Parlamento a beneficio della popolazione del Sahara occidentale, e 5 MECU provenienti dalla linea di bilancio B7-217. Il 23 maggio 1997 la Commissione ha adottato una decisione per l’attuazione di un piano globale dell’importo di 7 MECU a favore dei profughi del Sahara occidentale. Il piano comprende due elementi: aiuti alimentari (5,8 MECU) ed un programma di assistenza medica e logistica, di ripristino d’emergenza e di purificazione dell’acqua (1,2 MECU). L’assegnazione del 1997 contribuira‘ a garantire la fornitura alla popolazione di prodotti di base, a mantenere le scorte di sicurezza nonche· a garantire un livello accettabile delle condizioni di vita e dell’assistenza sanitaria. Nell’ambito della stretta collaborazione tra l’Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i rifugiati, il Programma alimentare mondiale ed ECHO in materia di assistenza umanitaria a favore dei profughi del Sahara occidentale, la Commissione prestera‘ particolare attenzione alla situazione umanitaria di tale popolazione durante la messa a punto del piano di rimpatrio volontario e modifichera‘ di conseguenza il proprio programma di aiuto del 1998. (98/C 158/73) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-3203/97 di Maartje van Putten (PSE) alla Commissione (16 ottobre 1997) Oggetto: Conseguenze della nuova direttiva sulla cioccolata per i paesi in via di sviluppo Il Consiglio dei ministri della cooperazione allo sviluppo ha chiesto piu‘ volte alla Commissione di eseguire uno studio sulle conseguenze economiche per i produttori di cacao della proposta della Commissione riguardante una nuova direttiva sulla cioccolata

text: 8. 6. 98 DA De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende C 174/25 (98/C 174/59) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-3222/97 af Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) til Kommissionen (16. oktober 1997) Om: Genanvendelse af udtjente biler Et af de miljłproblemer, der i łjeblikket giver anledning til voldsomme debatter, er genanvendelsen af udtjente biler. Der er fremsat en bred vifte af forslag, som r(cid:230)kker fra p(cid:229)stande om, at det er markedet, der i samarbejde med alle parter kan finde de bedste lłsninger, til indfłrelse af miljłafgifter, som det er sket i Nederlandene, p(cid:229) trods af risikoen for, at ejeren › som det fremfłres af forslagets modstandere › »glemmer« sin bil og efterlader den p(cid:229) offentlig vej. Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvor langt man er kommet med reguleringen af dette omr(cid:229)de, hvilke lande der har valgt at bel(cid:230)gge genanvendelsen med afgifter, og om den p(cid:229)t(cid:230)nker at forel(cid:230)gge medlemsstaterne nogle forslag med henblik p(cid:229) at finde f(cid:230)lles lłsninger? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Ritt Bjerregaard (1. december 1997) Den 9. juli 1997 vedtog Kommissionen et forslag til direktiv om udrangerede motorkłre-tłjer (1). Dette indeholder en r(cid:230)kke foranstaltninger om forebyggelse, indsamling, behandling, genvinding, tilsyn og information. Heri er der dog navnlig fastsat konkrete m(cid:229)l med hensyn til genbrug, genanvendelse og genvinding af affald. Med dette forslag er det Kommissionens agt at fremme harmoniseringen af medlemsstaternes forskellige tilgang til problemet med udtjente kłretłjer. I nogle af medlemsstaterne er der allerede truffet initiativer enten af landets myndigheder eller af łkonomiske beslutningstagere. Disse initiativer er yderst forskelligartede med hensyn til udformning, frist for opfyldelsen af m(cid:229)ls(cid:230)tningerne, varigheden og arten af de indg(cid:229)ede forpligtelser. Der er blevet taget initiativer (hvori der i nogle tilf(cid:230)lde indg(cid:229)r genbrug og genvinding,) i Tyskland, Spanien, Frankrig, Italien, Nederlandene, (cid:216)strig, Sverige og Det Forenede Kongerige. For at undg(cid:229) risikoen for, at kłretłjer evt. efterlades i miljłet, kr(cid:230)ves det i det p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende direktivforslag, at de udrangerede motorkłretłjer fłrst m(cid:229) udg(cid:229) af de offentlige registre, n(cid:229)r der foreligger et officielt certifikat om bortskaffelsen heraf udstedt af en anerkendt registreret bilskrotningsvirksomhed. Kun de skrotningsfirmaer, der opfylder kravene i direktivet, vil kunne opn(cid:229) driftstilladelse og dermed at kunne udstede bortskaffelsescertifi- katerne. (1) Dok. KOM(97) 358. (98/C 174/60) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL P-3228/97 af Daniel Fe·ret (NI) til Kommissionen (9. oktober 1997) Om: En europ(cid:230)iske vignet p(cid:229) motorveje med brugerbetaling Visse medlemsstater har indfłrt en europ(cid:230)isk vignet p(cid:229) deres motorvejsnet, hvorved lastvogne p(cid:229)lignes en ensartet fordelagtig tarif. Andre medlemsstater som f. eks. Frankrig afviser af give vognmandsselskaberne denne łkonomiske fordel. Denne situation skaber en uheldig konkurrenceforvridning p(cid:229) det europ(cid:230)isk motorvejsnet, hvilket giver sig udslag i transportomkostningerne. Mener Kommissionen ikke, at det ville v(cid:230)re hensigtsm(cid:230)ssigt og nłdvendigt at foresl(cid:229) indfłrelsen af en f(cid:230)lles europ(cid:230)isk vignet, som kan głre det nemmere for vejgodstransportłrerne at anvende motorvejsnettet?

(1) EFT L 26 af 31. 1. 1977, s. 1. Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Mario Monti (8. december 1997) Kommissionen kan indlede en overtr(cid:230)delsesprocedure mod en medlemsstat, n(cid:229)r den mener, at denne har overtr(cid:229)dt en forpligtelse, der fłlger af f(cid:230)llesskabsretten.

Det blev bl. a. sagt af kommissionsformand Jacques Santer som svar p(cid:229) mit spłrgsm(cid:229)l under Parlamentets juli-samling i Strasbourg. P(cid:229) denne baggrund er det ejendommeligt, at Kommissionen l(cid:230)gger op til, at der skal gives 38 mia ecu i strukturstłtte til de n(cid:230)vnte fem lande, mens der kun skal gives 7 mia ecu til de lande, der i fłrste omgang m(cid:229) vente p(cid:229) optagelse. En s(cid:229)dan fordeling af midlerne kan kun bekr(cid:230)fte mistanken om, at landene opdeles i dem, der har, og som skal have mere › og dem, der ikke har, og som skal have mindre. Et s(cid:229)dant »M(cid:230)tth(cid:230)us-princip« er uheldigt og urimeligt og sender de forkerte signaler til de lande, der har allermest brug for at blive holdt fast p(cid:229) demokratiets og markedsłkonomiens vej. Jeg vil derfor tillade mig at spłrge kommiss(cid:230)ren, om Kommissionen finder denne fordeling hensigtsm(cid:230)ssig og hvorvidt Kommissionen overvejer at (cid:230)ndre denne fordeling samt om den selv vil fremsende (cid:230)ndrede forslag til Parlamentet. Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Hans van den Broek (11. november 1997) Kommissionen har altid haft det udgangspunkt at udvidelsen m(cid:229) betragtes som en samlet proces der omfatter samtlige ansłgerlande, og at dette indeb(cid:230)rer at der indledes forhandlinger om optagelse med de forskellige lande afh(cid:230)ngigt af hvor store fremskridt det enkelte land har gjort med hensyn til opfyldelsen af de optagelseskriterier der blev fastlagt p(cid:229) Det Europ(cid:230)iske R(cid:229)ds młde i Kłbenhavn. Som led i de rapporter Kommissionen har forpligtet sig til at udarbejde en gang om (cid:229)ret › den fłrste forventes at foreligge ved udgangen af 1998 › henstilles det til R(cid:229)det at indlede forhandlinger med de lande som ifłlge Kommissionen opfylder n(cid:230)vnte betingelser. Hvad ang(cid:229)r spłrgsm(cid:229)let om belłbsstłrrelser, kan Kommissionen ikke dele det (cid:230)rede medlems opfattelse al den stund der inden for rammerne af Agenda 2000 (1) afs(cid:230)ttes en samlet stłtte p(cid:229) 21 milliarder ECU til forberedelse af tiltr(cid:230)delsen, hvilket i (cid:229)rsgennemsnit repr(cid:230)senterer en fordobling i forhold til det forventede 1999-niveau. Det tilfłjes at den stłtte til forberedelse af tiltr(cid:230)delsen der ydes til de lande der i fłrste omgang m(cid:229) vente p(cid:229) optagelse, som det (cid:230)rede medlem udtrykker det, m(cid:229) siges at have en betydelig stłrrelse idet den, m(cid:229)lt som procentdel af de p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende landes bruttonationalprodukt, ligger p(cid:229) et niveau der t(cid:229)ler sammenligning med de łvrige ansłgerlandes.

It is precisely to avoid the repetition of such practices that the Commission asked the IOOC to look into the modification of this standard to, amongst other things, establish stricter and more transparent rules for conferring origin. Modification of the IOOC commercial standard on the definition of the country of origin will be examined during the 77th session of the IOOC in Turkey from 17 to 21 November 1997. (98/C 158/72) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3202/97 by Luciano Vecchi (PSE) to the Commission (16 October 1997) Subject: Saharawi refugees Will the Commission state whether the measures to assist the plan for the voluntary repatriation of Saharawi refugees, recently drawn up for by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, have been adopted, especially with regard to registration, resettlement and rehabilitation of such refugees? Answer given by Mr Mar(cid:14)·n on behalf of the Commission (27 November 1997) Since 1993, overall contributions from the Commission (European Community humanitarian office (ECHO)) for Western Sahara refugees have amounted to 20 MECU. Last year, a total of 7 MECU was allocated, including 2 MECU from the budget line B7-644 adopted by the Parliament to help the population of Western Sahara and the remaining 5 MECU from the budget line B7-217. This year the Commission adopted on 23 May 1997 a decision for the implementation of a global plan amounting to 7 MECU in favour of the Western Sahara refugees. This plan includes two elements: food aid (5. 8 MECU) and a medical and logistic assistance, emergency rehabilitation and water purification programme (1. 2 MECU). The allocation for 1997 will contribute to ensure supplies to this population of basic products, to maintain the security stocks, as well as to preserve the living conditions and the health care, on an acceptable level. As part of the close cooperation between the United Nations high commissioner for refugees, the world food programme and ECHO concerning humanitarian assistance in favour of Western Sahara refugees, the Commission will pay great attention to the humanitarian situation of this population during the setting up of the voluntary repatriation plan and will adapt its 1998 aid programme accordingly.

Respuesta de la Sra. Wulf-Mathies en nombre de la Comisio·n (12 de noviembre de 1997) El marco comunitario de apoyo de Grecia para 1994-1999 preve· que el Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional cofinancie el proyecto de metro de Salo·nica, pero so·lo si dicho proyecto atrae capitales privados (y en funcio·n de su viabilidad econo·mica). Actualmente, la Comisio·n esta· estudiando las quejas presentadas por algunas empresas que participaron en la licitacio·n internacional convocada en 1993 por las autoridades griegas, sobre la base de la normativa comunitaria sobre contratos pu·blicos. Las autoridades griegas so·lo podra·n presentar a la Comisio·n un expediente completo con miras a la cofinanciacio·n del FEDER cuando finalice el examen de estas quejas. La posible combinacio·n (o sustitucio·n) de la l(cid:14)·nea de metro con una red de tranv(cid:14)·as y, en general, la organizacio·n del sistema de transportes pu·blicos de la ciudad de Salo·nica incumben a las autoridades del Estado miembro. La Comisio·n, por su parte, debe velar por que los proyectos se lleven a cabo con arreglo a las pol(cid:14)·ticas comunitarias. (98/C 134/140) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-3183/97 de Glyn Ford (PSE) a la Comisio·n (16 de octubre de 1997) Asunto: Diferencia de precios de los perio·dicos Aun cuando sea razonable que los perio·dicos que hayan traspasado la frontera de los Estados miembros puedan ser algo ma·s caros, ¿podr(cid:14)·a dar su opinio·n la Comisio·n sobre el hecho de que el The Independent del 16 de septiembre costara 20 peniques en el Reino Unido y, en Estrasburgo, el mismo perio·dico se vendiera a 14 francos franceses, lo que equivale a 1,40 £, segu·n el tipo de cambio de esa fecha, y supone un recargo de un 750 %? Respuesta del Sr. Van Miert en nombre de la Comisio·n (26 de noviembre de 1997) Las decisiones unilaterales sobre la fijacio·n de los precios de venta de los perio·dicos, incluidas las diferencias de precio entre Estados miembros, dependen esencialmente de la libre eleccio·n comercial de cada editor y por lo general no suelen pertenecer al a·mbito de las prohibiciones del derecho comunitario. Si la Comisio·n constatara la existencia de acuerdos restrictivos de la competencia o de pra·cticas abusivas incompatibles con las normas de competencia y el funcionamiento del mercado interior, adoptar(cid:14)·a cualquier iniciativa apropiada en el marco de las disposiciones del Tratado CE y, por supuesto, informar(cid:14)·a de ello al Parlamento. Por otra parte, la Comisio·n ha iniciado recientemente un estudio que tiene por objeto el ana·lisis de los sistemas de distribucio·n de la prensa escrita en todos los Estados miembros, su interaccio·n a nivel transfronterizo y sus efectos sobre la estructura de los precios de la prensa.

Is the Commission aware that should UEFA be allowed to pursue this course of action the knock-on effect for smaller football clubs could be disastrous, as sponsorship and television backing desert the competition? Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (31 October 1997) Yes, the Commission is investigating a complaint lodged by the football league against the Union of european football associations (UEFA) in order to assess the compatibility of UEFA(cid:146)s actions with the Community competition rules. The Commission has already informed the football league accordingly. This assessment must be made in full knowledge of the facts, including those alleged in the second part of the Honourable Member(cid:146)s question, in their correct economic context and taking into account the specific nature of the sector concerned. The investigation of complaints must be undertaken under the established procedures › in this case Council Regulation (EEC) No 17/62 implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the EC Treaty (1).

Can the Commission confirm that there have been delays in the payment of rehabilitation aid for torture victims despite the fact that the European Parliament created a special budget line, B7-7070, in l997 making ECU 6 million available for precisely that purpose? 2. How many of those eligible for such aid actually received it in 1997, and why have some of them not yet done so? 3. Is the Commission aware that the average time for processing applications increased from 3 months in 1994 to 8 months in 1996 and could well be as much as 10 months this year? 4. What does the Commission intend to do to resolve these problems and how will it prevent any recurrence in 1998? Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (17 November 1997) 1. The Commission can confirm that, in order to provide, in line with the wishes of the Parliament, greater transparency in the administration of its grants programmes, there have been delays in the payment of grants to organisations working to rehabilitate torture victims

Organisationen har va¤nt sig till kommissionen som svar p(cid:229) ett dokument om strategin som publicerats av det irla¤ndska miljo¤departementet, Managing Ireland(cid:146)s Rivers and Lakes. Fritidsfiskeorganisationen ha¤vdar att det ba¤sta sa¤ttet att minska vattenfo¤roreningarna a¤r att tilla¤mpa (cid:148)fo¤rorenaren betalar(cid:148)-principen genom att info¤ra en skatt p(cid:229) fosfatanva¤ndning, vilket den tror skulle leda till en va¤sentlig minskning av fosfatanva¤ndningen inom jordbruket. Med tanke p(cid:229) att mycket av EU-lagstiftningen ansluter sig till (cid:148)fo¤rorenaren betalar(cid:148)-principen, skulle kommissionen fo¤respr(cid:229)ka info¤randet av en s(cid:229)dan skatt? Vilka (cid:229)tga¤rder kommer den att vidta p(cid:229) grundval av de rekommendationer som Carra Mask Angling Federation har gjort? Svar fr(cid:229)n Ritt Bjerregaard p(cid:229) kommissionens va¤gnar (20 november 1997) Gemenskapens femte handlingsprogram (cid:148)Mot en h(cid:229)llbar utveckling(cid:148) (1) omfattar olika strategier betra¤ffande miljo¤fo¤rorening, som skall komplettera varandra. Bland annat behandlas gra¤nsva¤rden fo¤r utsla¤pp, vattenkvali- tetskriterier och en ska¤rpning av principen om att fo¤rorenaren betalar. I fo¤rslaget till ett ramdirektiv fo¤r vatten (2) faststa¤lls att medlemsstaterna skall se till att god vattenstatus uppn(cid:229)s fo¤r alla vatten (grundvatten och ytvatten) till (cid:229)r 2010, och att de skall faststa¤lla och genomfo¤ra ra¤ttsligt bindande (cid:229)tga¤rdsprogram fo¤r de vatten som a¤nnu inte har uppn(cid:229)tt god status, genom en kombination av utsla¤ppsgra¤ns- va¤rden och vattenkvalitetsm(cid:229)lsa¤ttningar. I fo¤rslaget faststa¤lls dock a¤ven att kommissionen, i en fo¤rsta fas av full kostnadsta¤ckning fo¤r tja¤nster inom vattensektorn, vid behov skall la¤gga fram fo¤rslag ro¤rande miljo¤- och resurskostnader i samband med inverkan p(cid:229) vatten. I sitt meddelande om miljo¤skatter och miljo¤avgifter p(cid:229) den inre marknaden (3) uttalade kommissionen sitt sto¤d fo¤r att go¤ra miljo¤politiken effektivare och kostnadseffektivare genom o¤kad tilla¤mpning av skattepolitiska styrmedel i medlemsstaterna. Dessa miljo¤skatter och -avgifter skall dock anva¤ndas p(cid:229) ett sa¤tt som o¤verenssta¤m- mer med gemenskapslagstiftningen. I meddelandet beskrivs de grundla¤ggande villkoren (mo¤jligheter och begra¤nsningar) fo¤r att s(cid:229)dana skattestyrmedel skall vara fo¤renliga med inre marknadens ramar. Fo¤r- och nackdelar ur ekonomisk synpunkt tas inte upp, och inte heller fr(cid:229)gan om hur effektivt miljo¤n skyddas genom miljo¤avgifter p(cid:229) medlemsstatsniv(cid:229). Allma¤nt sett a¤r kommissionen dock medveten om att s(cid:229)dana avgifter kan bidra till en kostnadseffektivare miljo¤politik, och erka¤nner att miljo¤skatter och -avgifter kan vara ett adekvat verktyg fo¤r att genomfo¤ra principen om att fo¤rorenaren betalar, genom att miljo¤lkostnaderna integreras i priset fo¤r varor och tja¤nster. Slutligen faststa¤lls i direktiv 76/464/EEG om fo¤rorening genom utsla¤pp av vissa farliga a¤mnen i gemenskapens vattenmiljo¤ (4) att medlemsstaterna skall sammansta¤lla och genomfo¤ra program fo¤r minskning av fo¤roreningar fr(cid:229)n vissa farliga a¤mnen. Fosforfo¤reningar ing(cid:229)r i fo¤rteckningen o¤ver farliga a¤mnen, och eftersom Irland inte till fullo info¤rt de program som kra¤vs har kommissionen inlett ett fo¤rfarande enligt artikel 169 i EG-fo¤rdraget.

(98/C 134/209) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-3386/97 di Patricia McKenna (V) alla Commissione (16 ottobre 1997) Oggetto: Rimboschimento di conifere in Irlanda L(cid:146)Irlanda finora ha di gran lunga il piu‘ alto livello di rimboschimento di specie non indigine nella Unione europea. Si stima che l(cid:146)80% degli alberi piantati in Irlanda non siano indigeni, con una predominanza di abeti della varieta‘ sitka. al secondo posto di questa graduatoria figura la Spagna con il 45% di impianti non indigeni. L(cid:146)anno scoro il governo irlandese ha pubblicato «Crescere per il futuro: Un progetto strategico per lo sviluppo del settore forestale». Pur riconoscendo che vi sono state alcune critiche da parte degli ambientalisti per il tipo di rimboschimento perseguito dalla societa‘ statale Coillte, segnalava che non vi sarebbero stati cambiamenti rilevanti dalla tendenza a favorire le conifere. L(cid:146)abete di tipo Sitka costituirebbe il 60% del rimboschimento annuo e diverse conifere (come l(cid:146)abete norvegese, l(cid:146)abete Douglas e l(cid:146)alice europeo e il pino scozzese) comprenderebbero un altro 20%. Nel frattempo l(cid:146)obiettivo annuo del rimboschimento a foglie larghe resta al 20%. Non e‘ specificato nessun livello di rimboschimento per le specie native (nonostante sia sancito che le querce debbano costituire almeno un quinto degli impianti a foglie larghe nel documento non si afferma se queste querce debbano essere o meno originarie dell(cid:146)Irlanda). Un altro studio pubblicato l(cid:146)anno scorso tra universita‘ irlandesi ha riscontrato livelli elevati di acidita‘ in regioni con un denso rimboschimento di conifere. E il rimboschimento in Irlanda dipende molto dal sostegno finanziario della UE. La UE ha consentito a fornire 66 milioni di Lire sterline nell(cid:146)ambito del programma operativo per l(cid:146)agricoltura, lo sviluppo rurale e le foreste e finora ha stanziato 65 milioni di sterline per misure di rimboschimento connesse con la PAC

Is it true that, as a result of this amendment, any extra virgin oil imported into Italy from abroad may be called (cid:145)Italian(cid:146) provided it is merely filtered in Italy and supplemented with a very small amount of national virgin oil? If so, does the Commission not consider that this is a case of (cid:145)legalized fraud(cid:146) since consumers will not 2. know what area the purchased virgin oil comes from? 3. Will the principle of controlled origin applied to other products, such as wine and cheese, no longer be applied to olive oil? 4.

When it holds its next meeting in Turkey on 18 November 1997, the international organization is apparently planning to change the definition of (cid:145)country of production(cid:146) for labelling purposes. In practice, under the new proposal, imported olive-oil, irrespective of its origin, could be called by the name of the importing country if it had merely been processed (for example filtered) there and a small percentage of oil produced in that country had been added to it. This provision would obviously run counter to the idea of safeguards for consumers and olive-oil producers in the EU designed to guarantee clear information and a high standard of quality

text: C 158/52 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunita‘ europee 25. 5. 98 (98/C 158/63) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-3184/97 di Riitta Myller (PSE) alla Commissione (16 ottobre 1997) Oggetto: Ripercussioni sulla salute pubblica dei nuovi aiuti al latte consumato nelle scuole Il Consiglio ha esortato la Commissione a includere il latte fermentato fra i prodotti che usufruiscono degli aiuti al latte consumato nelle scuole. In conformita‘ della proposta di modifica al regolamento presentata dalla Commissione, solo il latte fermentato prodotto da latte intero usufruirebbe degli aiuti. Tuttavia, ad esempio in Finlandia, il latte fermentato non e‘ ricavato da quello intero, poiche· i consumatori preferiscono prodotti meno grassi e piu‘ sani. Come giustifica la Commissione la proposta di sostenere il consumo di grasso? E come la sua proposta di modifica relativa agli aiuti al consumo di latte nelle scuole favorisce la salute pubblica negli Stati membri dell(cid:146)Unione europea? Risposta data dal Sig. Fischler in nome della Commissione (4 dicembre 1997) Proponendo di includere i «viili/fil» nell’elenco dei prodotti ammissibili all’aiuto per il latte consumato nelle scuole, nell’ambito del regolamento (CEE) n. 1842/83 del Consiglio del 30 giugno 1983, che stabilisce le norme generali relative alla cessione di latte e di taluni prodotti lattiero-caseari agli allievi delle scuole (1), la Commissione ha voluto garantire ai «viili/fil» una posizione simile a quella dello iogurt, tenuto conto delle analoghe caratteristiche dei due prodotti. Dal 1993, anno in cui e‘ stato riformato il regime del latte per le scuole, il programma e‘ inoltre basato sul latte alimentare, nell’intento di rendere il regime piu‘ efficace e di preservare la posizione di questo prodotto di base. Gli allievi che desiderano ridurre il loro consumo di grasso butirrico hanno dunque la possibilita‘ di optare per il latte parzialmente scremato, che e‘ ugualmente sovvenzionato nell’ambito di questo regime d’aiuto.

Conformemente alla decisione del governo fiammingo del 17 gennaio 1988 e a norma della direttiva 79/409/CEE del 2 aprile 1979 (1), concernente la conservazione degli uccelli selvatici, alla zona umida di «De Demervallei» (Fiandre) e‘ riconosciuto lo status di zona speciale di conservazione. 2. La direttiva 92/43/CEE (2), che incorpora la precitata direttiva 79/409/CEE, prevede l(cid:146)elaborazione di una valutazione d(cid:146)impatto ambientale per i piani di sviluppo urbanistico che interessano le zone speciali di conservazione. 3. L(cid:146)organizzazione «Intercommunale Schulens Meer» (ISM), titolare di una concessione per l(cid:146)utilizzo, a fini ricreativi e sportivi, degli specchi d(cid:146)acqua in detta zona speciale di conservazione, ha progettato la costruzione di un locale di ristoro, del costo di circa 40 milioni di BEF a Lummen, sulla riva di tali specchi d(cid:146)acqua. 4. A tal fine, l(cid:146)ISM ha ottenuto dal governo fiammingo un permesso di costruzione, nel quale non si fa alcuna menzione del fatto che l(cid:146)edificio verrebbe situato in una zona speciale di conservazione e si ignora il parere estremamente negativo pronunciato dal ministero per la tutela della natura dello stesso governo fiammingo. 5. L(cid:146)ISM ha chiesto finanziamenti comunitari per la realizzazione del progetto, presentandolo come un «centro culturale naturalistico» (l(cid:146)unica infrastruttura che potrebbe meritare la denominazione di «centro culturale» e‘ una sala esposizioni anche piu‘ piccola del locale previsto per i servizi igienici!). Intende la Commissione autorizzare il finanziamento di tale progetto?

Can it also confirm reports that the funds raised from such a tax would be channelled into road improvements? Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (21 November 1997) In July 1996 the Commission made a proposal for a directive on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures (1) laying down a more refined and harmonised road charging system (including vehicle taxes, road tolls and user charges) than that currently applying under the Directive 93/89/EEC of 25 October 1993 on the application by Member States of taxes on certain vehicles used for the carriage of goods by road and tolls and charges for the use of certain infrastructures (2). The 1996 proposal is currently being examined in the Council and in the Parliament. The Commission has considered that the use of the revenue from vehicle taxes and charges, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, is for the Member States to decide and need not be earmarked for investment in transport infrastructure. However, given the need to find adequate resources for the development of an efficient and environmentally friendly transport system and to better link charges with costs, the Commission is reflecting on whether new pricing instruments should gradually replace existing taxes and charges and on how resulting revenues might be reserved for infrastructure development. Any changes that were proposed as a result of these deliberations would, of course, still have to conform to the principle of subsidiarity. (1) OJ C 59, 26. 2. 1997. (2) OJ L 279, 12. 11. 1993.

Does the Commission not think that this reversal in the trend is due to the change in the system of payments to producers of durum wheat according to the production areas? Would the Commission be prepared to propose improving this system so that the European Community could increase its production to reduce its shortfall? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (22 October 1997) The Commission considers the present shortfall in Community durum wheat production to be the result of exceptional weather conditions affecting both the quantity and quality of production

text: 8. 6. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 174/25 (98/C 174/59) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3222/97 by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Commission (16 October 1997) Subject: Recycling of discarded vehicles One of the greatest subjects of polemic in the environmental sphere is the recycling of discarded vehicles. There are a large number of different proposals, ranging from the recommendation that the market should draw up the best solutions, with the cooperation of everybody, to the idea of imposing (cid:145)eco-taxes(cid:146), as in Holland, although there is the risk, according to those opposed to this proposal, that owners may forget their vehicles and abandon them on the street. Can the Commission say what stage has been reached in regulating this matter, which countries have opted for levying a recycling tax and whether it intends to make any proposals to the Member States to facilitate the solutions agreed on? Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (1 December 1997) On 9 July 1997, the Commission adopted a proposal for a directive on end of life vehicles (1). This contains measures in the field of prevention, collection, treatment, recovery, monitoring and information. In particular, it lays down quantified targets for the re-use, recycling and recovery of waste. With this proposal, the Commission intends to promote the harmonization of national approaches to the problem of end of life vehicles. Initiatives by national authorities or by economic operators exist in certain Member States. These initiatives vary considerably in their content, the year of achievement of the targets, the period of time covered and the nature of the commitments. Initiatives (some including recycling and recovery objectives) have been started in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, the United Kingdom. In order to avoid the risk of vehicles being abandoned in the environment, the proposal for a directive requires that end of life vehicles may be de-registered from public registers only after the delivery of a certificate of destruction issued by an authorized dismantler. Only dismantlers complying with the requirements set out in the directive will receive an authorization to operate and to issue certificates of destruction. (1) Doc. COM(97) 358. (98/C 174/60) WRITTEN QUESTION P-3228/97 by Daniel Fe·ret (NI) to the Commission (9 October 1997) Subject: European sticker on toll motorways Some European Union Member States have introduced a European sticker on their motorways which allows heavy goods vehicles to pay a uniform preferential fee. Other Member States, by contrast, refuse to grant this economic advantage to carriers using their motorways. This situation creates harmful distortions on the European Union(cid:146)s motorway network, which have repercussions on transport costs. Does the Commission not consider it desirable and necessary to propose that a (cid:145)European sticker(cid:146) facilitating the use of the motorway networks by carriers be introduced and uniformly applied?

text: C 134/156 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 30. 4. 98 (98/C 134/210) WRITTEN QUESTION P-3387/97 by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Commission (16 October 1997) Subject: Subsidies to support sale of processed cheese The US Government claims that the European Union has failed to respect its undertaking to limit export refunds for processed cheese, as agreed at the end of the Uruguay Round. This is deemed by the US to constitute an unfair trade practice and it is possible that sanctions may be imposed. How does the Commission react to this accusation and what steps are being taken to resolve the dispute? Is the Commission willing to open bilateral consultations with the US Government under the international dispute settlement procedure, so that a satisfactory solution may be found as quickly as possible? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (3 November 1997) This question has been discussed in the committee on agriculture established under the agreement on agriculture which is included in the Marrakech agreement establishing the World trade organisation (WTO). The processed cheese in question is produced under the inward processing relief arrangement whereby Community ingredients such as skimmed milk powder are used together with ingredients such as cheese imported from third countries. The ingredients from the Community are considered as exported with export refund and are counted against the ceilings for subsidised export. The United States on 8 October 1997 requested consultations with the Community under the understanding on rules and procedures governing the settlement of disputes under WTO. The consultations should take place within 30 days of that date. On 17 October 1997 the Community accepted consultations. These consultations will take place shortly. (98/C 134/211) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3389/97 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (23 October 1997) Subject: Risks posed by condemned beef According to reports in the European press, an extensive and well-organized trading network has been operating in the EU since last year, illegally channelling thousands of tonnes of banned beef (because of (cid:145)mad cow disease(cid:146)) from the UK to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Greece. Furthermore, a great many tonnes of condemned beef have reportedly already been dispatched from Belgium to Russia and Egypt. This network is trading in dangerous meat which it buys up cheaply and exports at more than 100% profit. The problem is particularly serious in countries with a beef shortage, such as Greece, where domestic production covers only 30% of the country(cid:146)s consumption. What is the Commission(cid:146)s response to this problem, which is a direct threat to public health in the Union and involves a huge network of fraud based on supplying condemned meat with false documentation and official stamps from countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, France etc. and dispatching it to other markets within and outside the Union? Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission (2 December 1997) The Honourable Member refers to a fraud, involving the redescription and recertification of frozen beef of British origin as coming from other Member States

title: SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE Nr. 3194/97 von Glyn FORD an die Kommission. Harmonisierung der Straßensteuern

Oktober 1997) Betrifft: Harmonisierung der Stra(cid:223)ensteuern Kann die Kommission angeben, ob sie die Absicht hat, kraft ihrer Harmonisierungsbefugnisse in der gesamten EU Stra(cid:223)ensteuern einzufu¤hren? Kann sie au(cid:223)erdem Berichte besta¤tigen, wonach die durch eine solche Steuer eingenommenen Mittel fu¤r Stra(cid:223)enverbesserungen verwendet wu¤rden? Antwort von Herrn Kinnock im Namen der Kommission (21. November 1997) Im Juli 1996 legte die Kommission einen Vorschlag fu¤r eine Richtlinie u¤ber die Erhebung von Gebu¤hren fu¤r die Benutzung bestimmter Verkehrswege durch schwere Nutzfahrzeuge (1) vor, in dem ein im Vergleich zu dem derzeit im Rahmen der Richtlinie 93/89/EWG vom 25. Oktober 1993 u¤ber die Besteuerung bestimmter Kraftfahrzeuge zur Gu¤terbefo¤rderung sowie die Erhebung von Maut- und Benutzungsgebu¤hren fu¤r bestimmte Verkehrswege durch die Mitgeliedstaaten geltenden System weiterentwickeltes und harmonisiertes System fu¤r Stra(cid:223)enbenutzungsgebu¤hren (u. a. Fahrzeugsteuern, Maut- und Benutzungsgebu¤hren) (2) festgelegt wird. Die Kommission war bisher der Ansicht, da(cid:223) die Verwendung der Einkommen aus Fahrzeugsteuern und Gebu¤hren gema¤(cid:223) dem Subsidiarita¤tsprinzip in den Zusta¤ndigkeitsbereich der Mitgliedstaaten fa¤llt und nicht unbedingt Investitionen in Verkehrsinfrastrukturen beinhalten mu(cid:223). Da jedoch ausreichende Mittel fu¤r die Entwicklung eines effizienten und umweltfreundlichen Verkehrssystems gefunden werden mu¤ssen und eine Verbindung zwischen Gebu¤hren und Kosten hergestellt werden mu(cid:223), stellt die Kommission derzeit U¤ berlegun- gen an, ob neue Preisinstrumente nicht allma¤hlich die derzeitigen Steuern und Gebu¤hren ersetzen und die entsprechenden Einnahmen nicht ausschlie(cid:223)lich fu¤r den Ausbau der Infrastruktur eingesetzt werden sollten. Im Anschlu(cid:223) an diese Ero¤rterungen gegebenenfalls vorgeschlagene Neuerungen mu¤(cid:223)ten selbstversta¤ndlich ebenfalls im Einklang mit dem Subsidiarita¤tsprinzip stehen. (1) ABl.

Oktober 1997) Betrifft: Hartweizenerzeugung Nachdem die Europa¤ische Gemeinschaft fru¤her Hartweizen exportiert hat, ist sie inzwischen bei gleichzeitigem Anstieg des Defizits Nettoimporteur geworden. Ist die Kommission nicht der Ansicht, da(cid:223) diese Trendwende auf die A¤ nderung der Entscha¤digungsregelung fu¤r Hartweizenhersteller fu¤r die einzelnen Anbaugebiete zuru¤ckzu- fu¤hren ist? Ist die Kommission bereit, eine Verbesserung dieser Regelung vorzuschlagen, damit die Europa¤ische Gemeinschaft ihre Erzeugung steigern und ihr Defizit verringern kann? Antwort von Herrn Fischler im Namen der Kommission (22. Oktober 1997) Nach Auffassung der Kommission ist die derzeitige, durch ein Erzeugungsdefizit der Gemeinschaft gekenn- zeichnete Marktlage fu¤r Hartweizen auf au(cid:223)ergewo¤hnliche Witterungsbedingungen zuru¤ckzufu¤hren, die sich auf die Menge und die Qualita¤t der europa¤ischen Erzeugung auswirken
