text: C 31/6 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 5. 2. 1999 (1999/C 31/007) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-0846/98 van Klaus Rehder (PSE) aan de Commissie (26 maart 1998) Betreft: Steun van de kant van de EU-Commissie aan schoolcompetities Op welke wijze onderzoekt de Commissie verzoeken van verenigingen, organisaties en particuliere 1. personen om steun te verlenen voor Europese schoolcompetities? 2. Hoe stelt de Commissie met name vast of de indiener van het verzoek inderdaad (cid:132)ondersteuningswaardig is(cid:148), over een acceptabel pedagogisch concept beschikt en zulke competities niet misbruikt, b. v. voor het verzamelen van adressen? 3. Om welke redenen heeft de Commissie steun verleend aan de (cid:132)Verein zur F(cid:246)rderung kreativer Beziehungen europ(cid:228)ischer Kinder, e. V. (cid:148) en deze vereniging toestemming verleend om openlijk reclame te maken met het feit dat zij deze steun ontvangen heeft? Antwoord van mevrouw Cresson namens de Commissie (30 april 1998) De Commissie financiert geen Europese wedstrijden voor leerlingen, met uitzondering van de activiteiten 1. van (cid:132)Europa op school(cid:148), die sedert meer dan 40 jaar bestaan en zich afspelen onder beschermheerschap van de Commissie, het Parlement en de Europese Cultuurstichting. Derhalve hoeft de Commissie geen steunaanvragen van verenigingen of privØpersonen te bestuderen. Zij is van mening dat het Europese programma inzake onderwijs Socrates een bevoorrecht kader biedt voor de transnationale samenwerking tussen leerlingen en scholen, met inbegrip van de schoolpartnerschappen van actie 1 van het hoofdstuk Comenius, maar dit programma voorziet niet in de financiering van wedstrijden. Daar de Commissie geen aanvragen om financiºle steun voor dit soort wedstrijden bestudeert, kan op deze 2. vraag geen antwoord worden gegeven. 3. Daar de Commissie geen Europese leerlingenwedstrijden financiert, heeft zij in januari 1998 geen gevolg gegeven aan een aanvraag van deze vereniging voor financiering van een Europese tekenwedstrijd, maar gewezen op de vele mogelijkheden die door het Socrates-programma wordne geboden. Zij heeft speciaal er op gewezen dat de schoolpartnerschappen van actie 1 van Comenius het de leerlingen mogelijk maken in een transnationaal kader en met artistieke middelen de verscheidenheid van de Europese werkelijkheid te behandelen. De Commissie verheugt zich niettemin over initiatieven, zoals een Europese tekenwedstrijd, die over de grenzen heen willen bijdragen aan de vriendschap tussen kinderen. (1999/C 31/008) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG P-0890/98 van Patricia McKenna (V) aan de Commissie (11 maart 1998) Betreft: Weigering van de Ierse luchtvaartmaatschappij Ryanair vakbonden te erkennen De Ierse luchtvaartmaatschappij Ryanair is verwikkeld in een langdurig geschil met haar personeel van de afdeling behandeling bagage. Het geschil komt voort uit de weigering van de onderneming de vakbond die deze werknemers vertegenwoordigt te erkennen of ermee te onderhandelen. De onderneming heeft eveneens geweigerd de normale procedure voor het bijleggen van arbeidsgeschillen te volgen; zij is namelijk niet bereid tot enigerlei arbitrageprocedure die op gang is gebracht door het Ierse arbeidsgerecht. De directie van Ryanair heeft op grote schaal geprofiteerd van de liberalisatie van het luchtvervoer in de EU. Kan de Commissie, de artikelen 11 t/m 13 van het Europees Sociaal Handvest betreffende het recht van werknemers op vereniging en collectieve onderhandeling in overweging nemende, de problemen in verband met het geschil bij Ryanair onderzoeken en ter zake verslag uitbrengen? Welke andere maatregelen overweegt zij in verband met dit geschil? Wanneer publiceert de Commissie de toegezegde evaluatie van de sociale gevolgen van de liberalisatie van het luchtvervoer?

Mill(cid:228) tavoin Euroopan unionin komissio tarkastaa seurojen, yhdistysten ja yksityishenkil(cid:246)iden l(cid:228)hett(cid:228)m(cid:228)t hakemukset, jotka koskevat komission tukea koululaiskilpailuille? 2.

Komission j(cid:228)senen (cid:201)dith Cressonin komission puolesta antama vastaus (30. huhtikuuta 1998) 1. Komissio ei rahoita eurooppalaisia koululaiskilpailuja, lukuun ottamatta (cid:148)Eurooppa koulussa(cid:148) -toimia, joita on toteutettu yli nelj(cid:228)nkymmenen vuoden ajan ja jotka ovat komission, parlamentin ja Euroopan kulttuuris(cid:228)(cid:228)ti(cid:246)n suojeluksessa. N(cid:228)in ollen komission teht(cid:228)v(cid:228)n(cid:228) ei ole tutkia yhdistyksilt(cid:228) ja yksityishenkil(cid:246)ilt(cid:228) tulevia tukihake- muksia. Komissio on sit(cid:228) mielt(cid:228), ett(cid:228) eurooppalainen koulutusalan Sokrates-toimintaohjelma tarjoaa erinomaiset oppilaiden ja koulujen v(cid:228)liselle yhteisty(cid:246)lle eri maiden v(cid:228)lill(cid:228), mukaan lukien Comenius-osaohjelman toimin- toon 1 kuuluvat koulujen v(cid:228)liset kumppanuussuhteet, mutta t(cid:228)ss(cid:228) ohjelmassa ei tarjota rahoitusta kilpailuille. 2. Koska komissio ei tutki t(cid:228)m(cid:228)ntyyppisten kilpailujen tukihakemuksia, t(cid:228)h(cid:228)n kysymykseen ei voida vastata. 3. Koska komissio ei rahoita eurooppalaisia koululaiskilpailuja, se ei tammikuussa 1998 hyv(cid:228)ksynyt mainitun yhdistyksen eurooppalaista piirustuskilpailua koskevaa tukihakemusta. Komissio toi esille Sokrates-ohjelman tarjoamat moninaiset mahdollisuudet. Komissio mainitsi erityisesti, ett(cid:228) Comenius-osaohjelman toimintoon 1 kuuluvat koulujen v(cid:228)liset kumppanuussuhteet antavat oppilaille mahdollisuuden ty(cid:246)skennell(cid:228) kansainv(cid:228)lisesti ja taiteen keinoin eurooppalaisen monimuotoisuuden pohjalta. Komissio on kuitenkin iloinen sellaisista aloitteista kuin eurooppalainen piirustuskilpailu, joilla edistet(cid:228)(cid:228)n lasten v(cid:228)list(cid:228) yst(cid:228)vyytt(cid:228) eri maiden v(cid:228)lill(cid:228).

Ma¤rz 1998) Betrifft: Information u¤ber die Ho¤he der Beihilfen der Europa¤ischen Union fu¤r Hochschulen und Forschungsin- stitute in Katalonien in den Jahren 1995, 1996 und 1997 Ko¤nnte die Kommission mitteilen, in welcher Ho¤he und fu¤r welche Ma(cid:223)nahmen sie in den Jahren 1995, 1996 und 1997 im Rahmen der untenstehenden Programme Gemeinschaftsmittel fu¤r Hochschulen und Forschungsinstitute in Katalonien zur Verfu¤gung stellte? 1. Erstes Rahmenprogramm fu¤r Forschung, technologische Entwicklung und Demonstration, 2. Gemeinschaftsprogramme in den Bereichen Energie und Umwelt, 3. Gemeinschaftsinitiativen, insbesondere das INTERREG-Programm, 4. Programme Sokrates, Leonardo da Vinci und Jugend fu¤r Europa, 5. Regional- und Strukturfonds 6. andere Programme der Gemeinschaft Antwort von Herrn Santer im Namen der Kommission (7. Mai 1998) Wegen des Umfangs der Antwort, die zahlreiche Tabellen umfa(cid:223)t, wird sie dem Herrn Abgeordneten und dem Generalsekretariat des Parlaments von der Kommission direkt zugeschickt. (98/C 310/203) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-0935/98 von Antonio Tajani (PPE) an die Kommission (26. Ma¤rz 1998) Betrifft: Gesundheitsschutz fu¤r lokale Polizeikra¤fte Laut italienischer Gesetzgebung fallen lokale Polizeikra¤fte nicht unter die Gruppe der Arbeitnehmer mit Berufsrisiko oder mit ho¤heren berufsbedingten Abnutzungserscheinungen. Dennoch starben allein in Rom zwischen 1980 und 1996 180 Stadtpolizisten im Dienst: 42% an Tumoren und 40% an Herz- und Atemwegerkrankungen. Ihr Durchschnittsalter betrug 51 Jahre. Die Sterberate der Stadtpolizisten scheint im Verha¤ltnis zu anderen Arbeitnehmern in Gruppen mit besonderen Schutzbestimmungen a¤u(cid:223)erst hoch zu sein. Die Erkrankung mit to¤dlichem Ausgang zieht sich das Opfer fast immer in Ausu¤bung seines/ihres Berufs auf der Stra(cid:223)e durch den Kontakt mit Schadstoffen in der Luft zu. Vertritt die Kommission nicht die Ansicht, da(cid:223) die italienische Regierung dadurch, da(cid:223) sie die lokalen Polizeikra¤fte nicht in die Gruppe der Arbeitnehmer mit Berufsrisiko oder mit ho¤heren berufsbedingten Verschlei(cid:223)risiken eingestuft hat, alle Gemeinschaftsnormen im Bereich des Gesundheitsschutzes verletzt? Ist die Kommission ferner nicht der Ansicht, da(cid:223) dadurch die Vertra¤ge von Rom, Maastricht und Amsterdam sowie die Gemeinschaftscharta der sozialen Grundrechte der Arbeitnehmer verletzt werden? Welche Ma(cid:223)nahmen gedenkt die Kommission zu ergreifen, um die italienische Regierung zur Respektierung der Rechte der lokalen Polizeikra¤fte zu veranlassen? Antwort von Herrn Flynn im Namen der Kommission (8. Mai 1998) Die Rahmenrichtlinie 89/391/EWG des Rates vom 12, Juni 1989 u¤ber Ma(cid:223)nahmen zur Verbesserung der Sicherheit und des Gesundheitsschutzes der Arbeitnehmer bei der Arbeit (1) und ihre Einzelrichtlinien enthalten keinerlei Verpflichtung fu¤r die Mitgliedstaaten, bestimmte Berufsgruppen als (cid:132)Risikokategorie(cid:147) einzustufen. Zudem bestimmt in dem Sonderfall der Polizeikra¤fte Artikel 2 Absatz 2 der Richtlinie 89/391/EWG, da(cid:223) diese

text: C 323/88 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 21. 10. 98 (98/C 323/122) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0863/98 by Graham Mather (PPE) to the Commission (26 March 1998) Subject: Possible banking mergers in the UK Concerns have been expressed recently in a number of quarters about possible forthcoming banking mergers in the UK. The Banking Insurance and Finance Union (to whom I am an adviser) in particular has expressed concern that such mergers could lead to reductions in competition, employment and coverage of smaller rural communities. While recognising that the Commission must judge all merger cases on their individual merits: 1. Is the Commission aware of the situation regarding possible mergers in this sector in the UK; and 2. does it have any observations to make on this matter? Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (7 May 1998) The Commission is aware that there has been unconfirmed press speculation about the possibility of future banking mergers in the United Kingdom. Were there to be any such merger situation giving rise to a concentration with a Community dimension to which the so-called Merger Regulation, Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 of 21 December 1989 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (1) would apply, then it would be assessed by the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation. Notifications of concentrations received by the Commission are made public by means of a notice in the Official journal and interested parties are invited to comment. (1) OJ L 257, 21. 9. 1990. (98/C 323/123) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0870/98 by Gerhard Hager (NI) to the Commission (26 March 1998) Subject: Legalisation of illegal immigrants The report on the human rights situation in the European Union in 1996 that was adopted during the February part-session singled out a number of Member States in which the residential status of persons living illegally in their territory is legalised after a given period. Does the Commission consider the approach adopted by these Member States to be inconsistent with the 1. Union(cid:146)s current legislation? Does the Commission consider the approach adopted by these Member States to be inconsistent with the 2. Schengen acquis? 3. What does the Commission intend to do as regards integrating the Schengen acquis into the Community and such differences? Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (5 June 1998) The Commission is conducting a detailed investigation of the problem raised by the Honourable Member and will inform him of the outcome as soon as possible

text: 21. 10. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 323/85 Does the Commission intend to propose amendment to the legislation concerned to remedy this problem? Will the Commission consider a general exemption for traditional vegetables or seed varieties for which the volume of sales is low? (98/C 323/114) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0878/98 by Per Gahrton (V) to the Commission (26 March 1998) Subject: Seeds used by non-professional growers in Sweden Following Sweden(cid:146)s entry into the EU, the authority responsible for seed control (Statens Utsa¤deskontroll) wrote to Swedish seed sellers threatening them with prosecution unless they stop selling seeds which, according to the authorities, are banned under current EU rules, e. g. Easter Egg (radish), Buttercup (squash), Early Cascade etc. , (tomato) and Feurio (chard). Does the Commission consider it reasonable for the EU to decide which seeds non-professional growers in Sweden may use? Is this consistent with the subsidiarity principle? Does the Commission consider that the Swedish authorities are applying EU rules correctly? Can the Commission envisage amending the rules or, alternatively, allowing the marketing in Sweden of seeds which are found to be suited to the biological, ecological and meteorological conditions in Sweden? Joint answer to Written Questions E-0851/98 and E-0878/98 given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (24 April 1998) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to the reply it gave to Oral Question H-246/98 by Mr Lindqvist during question time at Parliament(cid:146)s march 1998 part-session (1). (1) Debates of the Parliament (March 98). (98/C 323/115) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0856/98 by Ursula Schleicher (PPE) to the Council (31 March 1998) Subject: Implications of the ban on tobacco advertising In principle › unless special rules laid down by the Member States provide otherwise › the directive prohibits the use of a tobacco brand name for other products. Does this ban apply only to the advertising of non-tobacco products bearing this name or to the naming 1. itself? The Member States are to be permitted to lay down special rules only if the tobacco brand name has 2. previously been used for other products in (cid:145)good faith(cid:146). To what must this (cid:145)good faith(cid:146) relate? If a Member State failed to take advantage of the possibility of laying down special rules, would the ban 3. apply to the continued use of a name which had hitherto been legally used for a non-tobacco product and which was also a tobacco brand name? (Example: Would the health resort of St Moritz no longer be permitted to advertise its products and services under its own name even though it has nothing to do with the brand of cigarettes of the same name?) 4. At any event, the (cid:145)same name(cid:146) of the non-tobacco product may not be used except in a (cid:145)manner clearly distinct(cid:146) from that used to advertise the tobacco product. Does this mean that the brand name as such must be changed for the non-tobacco product? How will it be ensured that differences in the application of this provision by the Member States do not lead to new trade barriers?

text: C 310/136 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen 9. 10. 98 (98/C 310/183) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-0826/98 van Lis Jensen (I-EDN) aan de Commissie (26 maart 1998) Betreft: Voorlichtingsbegroting van het kantoor van de Commissie in Kopenhagen Kan de Commissie mededelen welke deel van zijn begroting haar kantoor in Kopenhagen in 1998 heeft bestemd voor voorlichting? Welk percentage van deze middelen zal vo·o·r 28 mei 1998 worden gebruikt? Antwoord van de heer Oreja namens de Commissie (2 juni 1998) Het bureau van de Commissie in Denemarken heeft in 1998 voor algemene voorlichtingsactiviteiten 1. 248. 000 ecu aan vastleggingskredieten toegewezen gekregen uit begrotingsonderdeel B3-300 (Algemene acties op het gebied van voorlichting en communicatie over de Europese Unie) en 20. 000 ecu aan vastleggingskredieten uit begrotingsonderdeel B3-301 (Informatiecentra). De algemene voorlichtingsactiviteiten van het bureau, zoals het uitbrengen van een maandblad, nieuwsbrieven en informatiebladen en het organiseren van conferenties en studiebijeenkomsten, vinden gedurende het hele jaar plaats, zowel voor als na het referendum. Van begrotingsonderdeel B3-306 (Voorlichtingsprogramma voor de Europese Burger (cid:146)Prince(cid:146) › Voorlichtings- acties in verband met specifieke beleidsmaatregelen) is 295. 000 ecu aan vastleggingskredieten aan het bureau in Denemarken toegewezen voor voorlichting over het Verdrag van Amsterdam. Op dit moment valt moeilijk te zeggen welk deel daarvan vo·o·r en welk deel na 28 mei zal worden besteed. Deze activiteiten vallen onder de taak van de Commissie om voorlichting voor het grote publiek te verzorgen (zoals een informatiegids over het Verdrag van Amsterdam) over belangrijke onderwerpen betreffende de Gemeenschap. (98/C 310/184) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-0832/98 van Jesu· s Cabezo·n Alonso (PSE) aan de Commissie (26 maart 1998) Betreft: Opneming van Cuba in de groep van ACS-landen die de Overeenkomst van Lome· hebben ondertekend Kan de Commissie bevestigen dat Cuba formeel verzocht heeft om toetreding tot de groep van ACS-landen die de Overeenkomst van Lome· hebben ondertekend? Kan Cuba aanspraak maken op opneming in de groep van ACS-landen die met de Europese Unie de Overeenkomst van Lome· hebben ondertekend, terwijl twee jaar geleden de Commissie nog heeft moeten constateren dat de ondertekening van een bilaterale samenwerkingsovereenkomst Cuba-Europese Unie niet mogelijk was? Antwoord van de heer Mar(cid:14)·n namens de Commissie (7 april 1998) De Commissie werd op de hoogte gesteld van de formele aanvraag van de Cubaanse regering om te worden opgenomen in de groep van landen in Afrika, het Caribisch gebied en de Stille Oceaan die de Overeenkomst van Lome· hebben ondertekend. Het is echter de ACS-groep zelf die zich als eerste hierover moet uitspreken. Vervolgens zullen de partijen bij de Overeenkomst van Lome· (ACS-groep en Gemeenschap) indien nodig deze aanvraag gezamenlijk onderzoeken, overeenkomstig de doelstellingen en beginselen van de Overeenkomst, evenals de terzake geldende procedures

Kertomusta voi tilata AMUE:sta osoitteesta 26 rue de la Pe·pinie‘re, F-75008 Paris, France, puh. +33 1 44 70 60 30, faksi +33 1 45 22 33 77.

Kertomuksessa tutkittiin kesta¤va¤n la¤hentymisen korkean tason saavuttamista, kuten 109 j artiklassa on mainittu. Komissio tuki AMUE:ta myo¤nta¤ma¤lla¤ sille 500 000 ecun avustuksen vuonna 1997 osana komission talous- ja rahaliiton tiedotusohjelmaa. Komissio ei ole tukenut taloudellisesti AMUE:n kertomusta tai muita yksitta¤isia¤ tutkimuksia. AMUE on ta¤ysin itsena¤inen toimielin.

text: C 386/44 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 11. 12. 98 Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (8 May 1998) In the light of the experience in dealing with BSE, the Commission has transferred the entire personnel of the phytosanitary and veterinary office to DG XXIV, that is 42 A, 7 B and 13 C, plus 3 national experts attached to the office, as well as additional staff amounting to 5 A and 14 C. As compensation, 8 A posts were allocated to DG VI. The measures for assuring the availability of a sufficient number of veterinarians for recruitment as permanent staff are currently being examined. In order to avoid short-term problems, an appeal has been made to Member States to provide lists of veterinary experts who would qualify for temporary agent status. According to the 1999 draft budget, 10 permanent posts shall be made available to DG VI. DG VI planning foresees to allocate 4 of these posts for the clearance of accounts (increase of staff in this field is considered a priority also by the Parliament). Most of the remaining 6 posts will be used for reinforcing the units dealing with public health, animal health and phytosanitary matters, which are an absolute priority. (98/C 386/059) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0800/98 by Nuala Ahern (V) to the Commission (26 March 1998) Subject: Second disposal shaft/silo at the Dounreay plant in Caithness, Scotland In the light of the admission by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority on 2 February 1998 that there is a second disposal shaft/silo at the Dounreay plant in Caithness, Scotland, into which unregulated radioactive waste has been dumped since 1971, will the Commission update the details provided to Parliament in its answer to written question P-3167/96 (1) on 16 December 1996? (1) OJ C 87, 14. 3. 1997, p. 124. Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (22 April 1998) The silo at Dounreay is an approved storage facility subject to regular monitoring by the British regulator, the Nuclear installations inspectorate (NII). A description of the silo and its contents are contained in the publicly available document (1) which was referenced in the reply to written question P-3167/96 by Mrs Bloch von Blottnitz (2). The British Government has also announced that the wastes are to be retrieved from both the intermediate based shaft and the silo at Dounreay for treatment. The Commission would also like to draw the attention of the Honourable Member to the answer given to Written Question P-661/98 by Mrs Bloch von Blottnitz (3) on the same subject. The silo and its contents have been under Euratom safeguards since the accession of the United Kingdom to the Community and the Commission has been and is being provided with all the information required to perform the safeguards activities foreseen by the Euratom Treaty.

text: 25. 5. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 157/71 Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a Council Decision on measures of financial assistance for innovative and job-creating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) — The growth and employment initiative’ (98/C 157/17) On 24 February 1998 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Article 130(3) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal. The Committee instructed its Section for Industry, Commerce, Crafts and Services to prepare its work on the subject. The Economic and Social Committee decided to appoint Mr Pezzini to act as rapporteur-general. At its 353rd plenary session (meeting of 26 March 1998), the Economic and Social Committee unanimously adopted the following opinion. 1. Introduction 1. 1. Whilst the majority of measures to stimulate employment have to be taken by the Member States, as a consequence of the decisions taken at the special European Council for Employment, held in Luxembourg in November 1997, the European Commission has been charged with making proposals for new financial instruments to support innovatory and job-creating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); using Article 130 (Industrial Policy) as the legal base is a notable development in an area where the Community has not been particularly active. 1. 2. The Economic and Social Committee welcomes these developments, which accord with its views on this subject set out in a number of opinions (1). 2. Gist of the Commission proposal The European Parliament has 2. 1. earmarked resources from the Community budget for the support of SMEs under its ‘Growth and Employment Initiative’. 2. 2. Using its right of initiative, the present proposal by the Commission for a Council Decision sets out a programme for the application of these funds in a way that complements existing actions by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF), as well as other current Community instru- ments. In doing so, it places particular emphasis on the financial needs of innovative (2) and job-creating SMEs, including technology based companies, who may be unable to raise funds from conventional sources because of the level of risk associated with their ventures. The Commission proposal covers three distinct 2. 3. actions: — improving access to early-stage and seed capital by innovative enterprises from private-sector venture capital funds through the making of investments, managed by the EIF, in specialist investment funds; — fostering transnational joint ventures by SMEs within the EU by the provision of financial assistance during the planning and start-up phase, as well as a contribution towards the cost of fixed assets, for which few sources of funding now exist. This project will be managed by the Commission and national intermediaries; and, — a loan guarantee facility, again managed by the EIF, for SMEs with growth potential. This will lead to a sharing of risk between the Commission and national guarantee schemes, mutual guarantee schemes and other suitable institutions, including the EIB in cases where its statutes would otherwise prohibit participation because of the level of risk involved. (1) Opinions of the ESC on the Role of mutual guarantee systems (OJ C 169, 6. 7. 1992); Financial problems experi- enced by SMEs (OJ C 388, 31. 12. 1994); Improvement of the fiscal environment of SMEs (OJ C 397, 31. 12. 1994); Third multiannual programme for SMEs in the EU (OJ C 295, 7. 10. 1996) and Second Integrated Programme for SMEs and the Craft Sector (OJ C 56, 24. 2. 1997). (2) Definition of innovation given in the Commission’s Green Paper on Innovation. ‘In brief, innovation is: the renewal and enlargement of the range of products and services and the associated markets; the establishment of new methods of production, supply and distribution; the introduction of changes in management, work organization, and the working conditions and skills of the workforce’. C 157/72 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25. 5. 98 3. General remarks 3. 1. In terms of the objective of the Commission proposal, the most important criterion is the job-creation potential of encouraging and supporting SMEs. (BC-Net, Euro-Info Centres etc. ) but the widespread mobilisation of professional intermediaries and organ- izations. The Committee suggests that the European Commission entrust professional intermediaries and organizations with a special mission of identifying and accompanying projects The aim must be, first and foremost, to create skilled, sustainable employment. 3. 6. It is important that projects are assessed taking fully into account the principle of equal opportunities. This must also be the main criterion in assessing eligibility for assistance. This objective must be a constant priority. 4. Specific comments Also, subsequent evaluation of projects should be sufficiently detailed for lessons to be learned for future application. 3. 2. The Commission points out that far less early- stage and seed capital is available in Europe than in the USA, but even there only some 2 % of companies actually receive funding from this source. In Europe, not only are there considerable differences in the level of venture capital available between Member States; it tends to be more risk averse, with a high proportion of available funds going to support Management Buy-Outs and Management Buy-Ins in well-established companies of fairly substantial size. There is no doubt that a financing gap exists and the European Parliament and the Commission are to be congratulated on making efforts to address it, not because of the actual number of potential beneficiaries, but in view of their economic potential. 3. 3. The programme must work on commercial principles. particularly taking into account the high level of risk involved in making investments of this type. In particular, the degree of innovation claimed for each project must be properly evaluated by persons with knowledge of the area of activity concerned and at least some market research conducted. Even so, it is recognised that any final decision as to whether a project is worthy of support will almost certainly be largely based on the perceived managerial abilities of those engaged in the venture. 3. 4. One of the prime objectives of the European Investment Fund was to provide SMEs with loan guarantees. So far, the number assisted in this way has been disappointing, perhaps because of an over cautious attitude by the European Investment Fund. It is hoped this new initiative will correct the situation. 3. 5. It is essential that all three initiatives are widely publicized, so becoming known to as many as possible in the small business community, as well as potential entrepreneurs. This will require not only the use of existing Commission-supported channels of information Article 3 — The ETF (European Technology Facility) Start-up Facility 4. 1. A major barrier faced by venture capital funds when contemplating making relatively small investments is the cost of carrying out a ‘due diligence’ examination of the company and providing long-term advice and support. Frequently, the level of such costs makes an investment in all but a handful of particularly promising schemes uneconomic. If the Commission wishes this programme to have a major impact it should consider making an advance contribution to the initial evaluation costs of a fund, repayable on the basis of the overall success of a defined portfolio of investments made under this scheme. It is appreciated that this is not immediately possible for lack of budgetary resources, but the Com- mittee hopes future possibilities will be investigated by the Commission. In addition, a possible role in assisting in the evaluation of projects by professional intermediaries should be examined. Article 4 — The Joint European Venture-JEV The Committee welcomes this initiative, which 4. 2. it had itself called for. Indeed, the Committee sees the lack of any ad hoc financial instruments as one of the reasons for the disappointing number of joint ventures within the Union. However, the Committee calls on the Commission to address the other obstacles (legal, fiscal, etc. ) in order to ensure the success of this excellent initiative. Article 5 — The SME Guarantee facility 4. 3. The Committee has advocated a facility of this type on previous occasions (1) and fully approves of this valuable new financial instrument. (1) The role of mutual guarantee systems (OJ C 169, 6. 7. 1992), SMEs in frontier regions (OJ C 206, 7. 7. 1997). 25. 5. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 157/73 Article 6 — Reporting and Evaluation provide a partial answer, given that only a minority of firms will ever float their shares on a stock market. A period of four years before the Commission 4. 4. prepares an in depth evaluation of this programme, although preceded by annual reports, may seem a long time. In the case of venture capital type investments it may be too short, particularly given that it will be some time before actual investments are made and these could have a life of up to sixteen years, with an average of from seven to ten. What should be proper reporting periods requires further evaluation. Annex II — Point 2 the financial The quality of 4. 6. intermediaries involved will be a significant determinant of the success of the three proposed financial instruments. In order to attract the interest of the broadest possible cross-section of the financial community, it is hoped that at least short notices announcing the call for expressions of interest in the Joint European Venture scheme, will be inserted in the main financial/commercial newspapers in the EU. Annex I — Point 5 5. Conclusions If the Employment and Growth Initiative is to 4. 5. be a long-term success, venture capitalists will need to be able to exit from their investments, otherwise the pool of available funds will tend to become frozen. This illustrates the importance of the Commission’s current examination of the barriers to the growth of capital markets which are attuned to the needs of SMEs and how these might be overcome. This, however, will only Subject to the above remarks, the Committee endorses these three initiatives as they promise to make a real contribution to the financing of SMEs in those areas where identifiable gaps do exist. It is hoped that these programmes will have a high public profile, be extremely successful and eventually become permanent. In this way they should make a major contribution to the creation of high quality new employment. Brussels, 26 March 1998. The President of the Economic and Social Committee Tom JENKINS

Il programma era volto ad informare l(cid:146)opinione pubblica in merito agli effetti che l(cid:146)acquisto di prodotti nazionali puo‘ avere sull(cid:146)occupazione. Conformemente ai principi del mercato interno, merci, servizi e persone devono poter circolare liberamente nel territorio dell(cid:146)Unione. Non e‘ tuttavia possibile interferire nella liberta‘ di espressione in uno Stato membro richiamandosi alla legislazione relativa al mercato interno, come e‘ invece chiaramente accaduto allorche·, nel caso in questione, e‘ stato contattato il Ministero del commercio e dell(cid:146)industria finlandese. Puo‘ la Commissione far sapere in che modo intende garantire che in futuro non si verificheranno altri tentativi di limitare la liberta‘ di espressione negli Stati membri richiamandosi alla legislazione relativa al mercato interno o adducendo altre possibili motivazioni? La liberta‘ di espressione costituisce infatti uno dei capisaldi della democrazia europea e quindi uno dei principi fondamentali dell(cid:146)Unione europea. Risposta data dal Sig. Monti in nome della Commissione (5 giugno 1998) La Commissione sta procedendo ad un approfondito esame della questione sollevata dall(cid:146)Onorevole Parlamentare e Gli comunichera‘ le conclusioni non appena possibile. (98/C 323/145) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-0939/98 di Reimer Bo¤ge (PPE) alla Commissione (30 marzo 1998) Oggetto: Import-export di prodotti agricoli fra l(cid:146)UE e i PECO Puo‘ la Commissione indicare l(cid:146)ordine di grandezza dei quantitativi di latte, carne,cereali e patate entrati nell(cid:146)UE in esenzione di dazi o a condizioni doganali privilegiate dai singoli Stati dell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale negli anni 1994, 1995, 1996 e 1997? Puo‘ indicare inoltre l(cid:146)ordine di grandezza dei quantitativi di latte, carne, cereali e patate esportati dall(cid:146)UE nei singoli Stati dell(cid:146)Europa centrale e orientale negli anni 1994, 1995, 1996 e 1997?

text: 9. 10. 98 ES Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas C 310/139 A fin de paliar, en la medida de lo posible, los efectos de este comportamiento discriminatorio, los servicios de la Comisio·n solicitaron al CFO que destinara los 160. 000 billetes au·n no vendidos exclusivamente a residentes de fuera de Francia. El CFO manifesto· el 23 de marzo de 1998 que no pod(cid:14)·a acceder a esta peticio·n; en su lugar, ofrecer(cid:14)·a estos billetes de manera no discriminatoria a los residentes tanto franceses como no franceses. Ante la negativa del CFO a asignar los billetes restantes exclusivamente a residentes fuera de Francia, el Comisario van Miert anuncio· recientemente que sus servicios estaban preparando procedimientos legales formales contra el CFO en relacio·n con los billetes ya vendidos segu·n el sistema discriminatorio anteriormente mencionado. Sin menoscabo de los requisitos procesales necesarios, la Comisio·n se propone llevar a te·rmino estos procedimientos con celeridad. La Comisio·n, si bien reconoce la importancia de la seguridad al poner en pra·ctica cualquier sistema de distribucio·n de entradas para la Copa del Mundo, no considera, en la fase actual de sus procedimientos, que el sistema de distribucio·n de entradas del CFO pueda justificarse por motivos de seguridad. (98/C 310/189) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-0855/98 de Michl Ebner (PPE) a la Comisio·n (26 de marzo de 1998) Asunto: Restricciones de la Repu·blica Checa a la importacio·n de manzanas de la UE El Gobierno checo decidio· el 29 de enero de 1998 imponer restricciones a la importacio·n de manzanas procedentes de la UE. Esta medida no se ajusta a las disposiciones del Acuerdo Europeo UE-Repu·blica Checa, ya que contradice la cla·usula «statu quo» de aduanas y parece ser discriminatoria, ya que so·lo afecta a la importacio·n de manzanas procedentes de la UE. ¿Puede la Comisio·n informar sobre las medidas que va a adoptar contra esta decisio·n discriminatoria y si ya 1. se han establecido contactos por medio de los canales oportunos? 2. En caso afirmativo ¿en que· fase se encuentran? Respuesta del Sr. Van den Broek en nombre de la Comisio·n (20 de abril de 1998) La Comisio·n esta· plenamente al tanto del problema y ha estado ya en estrecho contacto con las autoridades checas desde las primeras informaciones sobre la medida. El 2 de febrero de 1998 la Comisio·n explico· al Gobierno checo que su medida no era conforme con el Acuerdo Europeo, por lo que pidio· su inmediata retirada y consultas bilaterales urgentes. Estas consultas, que tuvieron lugar el 17 de febrero de 1998, dejaron claro que las autoridades checas no piensan retirar la medida a corto plazo. La Comisio·n, por tanto, propuso las contramedidas adoptadas por el Consejo el 17 de marzo de 1998. La Comunidad suspendera· algunas concesiones comerciales agr(cid:14)·colas (zumo de manzana, productos de la carne, productos la·cteos) actualmente otorgadas a la Repu·blica Checa sobre una base auto·noma. Se trata de reducir las exportaciones preferenciales checas en una cantidad equivalente a las pe·rdidas de la Comunidad en sus exportaciones de manzana. La Comisio·n seguira· esforza·ndose por resolver el asunto de forma que este·n protegidos los intereses de los exportadores comunitarios

(98/C 323/143) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-0928/98 di Concepcio· Ferrer (PPE) alla Commissione (26 marzo 1998) Oggetto: Il ruolo delle PMI nell(cid:146)Unione europea La Commissione ha riconosciuto il ruolo decisivo delle piccole e medie imprese ai fini della creazione di occupazione. La relazione annuale della Corte dei conti europea del 1996 calcola in 1. 200 milioni di ecu i fondi destinati annualmente ad azioni a favore delle piccole e medie imprese nel quadro del FESR. Si tratta in un importo elevato, che sta a testimoniare l(cid:146)importanza che le PMI rivestono nell(cid:146)ambito dell(cid:146)Unione europea. Tuttavia la Commissione, pur riconoscendo l(cid:146)importanza delle piccole e medie imprese, non ha associato a suo tempo i rappresentanti delle PMI ai lavori di preparazione degli orientamenti per il Consiglio europeo straordinario sull(cid:146)occupazione. Ha intenzione la Commissione di aprire il dialogo sociale anche ai rappresentanti delle piccole e medie imprese, al fine di conferirgli maggior dinamismo e di giungere all(cid:146)adozione di misure finali piu‘ aderenti alla realta‘ e agli interessi dei cittadini dell(cid:146)Unione europea? Risposta del Sig. Papoutsis a nome della Commissione (14 maggio 1998) L(cid:146)importanza delle piccole e medie imprese (PMI) per la crescita economica ed occupazionale e‘ stata ribadita dal Consiglio europeo di Lussemburgo. Le direttrici in materia occupazionale hanno posto in risalto la necessita‘ di migliorare l(cid:146)ambiente a favore delle PMI edi coinvolgere le parti sociali nel processo di attuazione delle direttrici stesse
