text: 14. 5. 1999 DA De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende C 135/87 solidaritet ved modtagelse og ophold af fordrevne personer, der nyder midlertidig beskyttelse, hvormed der tages hensyn til Europa-Parlamentets udtalelse (1) og til de stedfundne drøftelser i Rådets instanser om det oprindelige forslag (2), som det ærede parlamentsmedlem henviser til. Rådets formandskab tillægger dette spørgsmål stor betydning og betragter det som en af sine prioriteter. Begge forslag behandles i øjeblikket i Rådets instanser af den kompetente arbejdsgruppe. På nuværende forhandlingstrin kan Rådet ikke besvare de præcise spørgsmål, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem stiller det vedrørende opgavefordelingen og kriterierne for en sådan fordeling. Forslagene vedrører ikke lande, der ikke er medlemmer af Den Europæiske Union. Hvis de vedtages, vil de indgå som en del af gældende EU-ret, som ethvert nyt medlemsland i Den Europæiske Union skal overtage. (1) EFT C 339 af 16. 11. 1997, s. 146.

(1999/C 135/102) SKRIFTLIG FORESPØRGSEL E-2665/98 af Ilona Graenitz (PSE) til Kommissionen (1. september 1998) Om: Rammedirektiv for levnedsmidler Bangemann rejste i sin udtalelse til Breyer-betænkningen (tilsætningsstoffer til levnedsmidler − A4-0242/ 98 − den 14. juli 1998 spørgsmålet om et levnedsmiddeldirektiv. Parlamentet støttede i sin beslutning af 10. marts 1998 (A4-0009/98) tanken om et sådant direktiv. Er den detaljerede drøftelse om et sådant direktiv allerede blevet indledt? Kan der regnes med et direktivforslag allerede i Europa-Parlamentets indeværende valgperiode eller i den nuværende Kommis- sions mandatperiode? Vil fremlæggelsen af et sådant direktiv ske så betids, at det også vil kunne indgå i den »Acquis Communautaire«, som ansøgerlandene skal overtage? Svar afgivet på Kommissionens vegne af Martin Bangemann (8. oktober 1998) Kommissionen bekræfter over for det ærede medlem, at dens tjenestegrene i nærmeste fremtid vil gå i gang med det forberedende arbejde til udformningen af et rammedirektivforslag om levnedsmidler. Da emnet er særdeles komplekst og kræver indgående høringer af alle berørte parter, er Kommissionen på nuværende tidspunkt desværre ikke i stand til at opgive nogen frister for, hvornår det forberedende arbejde vil være afsluttet. (1999/C 135/103) SKRIFTLIG FORESPØRGSEL E-2668/98 af Gerhard Hager (NI) til Rådet (1. september 1998) Om: Udvidelse af EURODAC-aftalens anvendelsesområde Rådet (retlige og indre anliggender) har allerede foretaget en grundig behandling af EURODAC-aftalen, der indeholder bestemmelser om, at der skal indføres et edb-system til udveksling af fingeraftryk fra asylansøgere i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af Dublin-aftalen om førstegangs-asylansøgere.

Por outras palavras, quais os produtos em causa que não satisfazem as normas de qualidade da Comissão, e em que medida? Caso esses produtos respeitem as normas de qualidade, poderá a Comissão divulgá-lo, por forma a que as escolas disponham de um leque mínimo de escolha de productos lácteos? Resposta dada por Franz Fischler em nome da Comissão (18 de Setembro de 1998) A legislação comunitária relativa à ajuda para os produtos lácteos distribuídos nos estabelecimentos escolares limita-se a indicar as categorias de produtos que podem beneficiar de uma ajuda, sem precisar as normas de qualidade que esses produtos devem satisfazer. Por conseguinte, as regras horizontais relativas à qualidade dos produtos lácteos colocados no mercado são igualmente aplicáveis no âmbito do programa relativo ao leite escolar. Nesta base, presume-se que nenhum produto lácteo fabricado pela indústria de lacticínios neerlandesa deveria ser excluído do programa por motivos de qualidade.

Estará o Conselho disposto a indicar concretamente e a apresentar provas dos pontos relativamente aos quais Zagreb não cumpriu as suas obrigações internacionais, em vez de fazer acusações gerais e não fundamentadas contra a Croácia? 2. Qual o significado da frase «abordagem regional e política da condicionalidade», traduzida para uma linguagem normal e não burocrática? 3. Estará o Conselho consciente do facto de, em determinados círculos da UE, se praticar uma política sistematicamente hostil à Croácia, embora este país se tenha limitado a defender de agressões externas e jamais constituiu a mais pequena ameaça para os seus vizinhos?

text: C 142/34 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 21. 5. 1999 (1999/C 142/040) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2712/98 by Anneli Hulthén (PSE) to the Commission (1 September 1998) Subject: Agricultural aid for small farms Aid to agriculture in the Community seems to be geared mainly towards larger farms. There are regions in Sweden where small and medium-sized farms predominate. Such farms will find it difficult in future to compete with larger holdings which benefit from support schemes. What prospects does the Commission see for increasing the support provided to smaller farms? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (2 October 1998) The size of an agricultural enterprise is not always the appropriate indicator of wealth. Small and medium sized farms may, for instance, be specialized in certain production systems or provide additional services which allow an income per hectare or per animal significantly higher than average. Furthermore, families running a small or medium sized farm very often have developed non-farm sources of income. The influence of agricultural income policy is therefore limited in the case of small or medium sized part time farms. While the Commission has on many occasions expressed its dissatisfaction with the way expenditure is shared between producers, it has proved very difficult to modulate payments in favour of small producers at Community level. Criteria that seem adequate in some situations have negative side-effects in others. For instance, large farms may employ many people and in this case size would not be an adequate criterion of modulation. What the Commission has proposed in the context of Agenda 2000 is that Member States should be given the power to modulate direct payments according to the specific situation in every Member State but respecting commonly agreed rules. This is an application of the principle of subsidiarity, based on the idea that Member States know the real situation better than the Commission and are capable of defining modulation criteria adapted to their specific problems. Member States may decide to reduce the amounts of direct payments in cases where the labour force used on their holdings falls short of limits to be determined by the Member States. The Commission also has proposed to introduce a proportional reduction covering all direct payments granted under common market organizations when the sum of these payments exceeds a ceiling of ECU 100 000. This will lead to degressivity in the direct payments big producers can receive per hectare or per animal. Furthermore, the Community will continue to support structural adaptations in the framework of a renewed rural development policy. In this context, eligibility of part-time farmers for Community support will be increased significantly. (1999/C 142/041) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2716/98 by Leonie van Bladel (UPE) to the Council (1 September 1998) Subject: Threatened ban on an Egyptian peace movement 1. Is the Council aware of the existence of an Egyptian peace movement? 2. Is the Council aware that the Egyptian peace movement and the Israeli ‘Peace Now’ movement recently issued a joint declaration on the Middle East peace process and that this resulted in violent protests in Egypt?

text: C 118/112 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 29. 4. 1999 De bezwaren van de Commissie ten aanzien van de bij wet nr. 2538/97 vastgestelde maatregelen komen concreet gezien hierop neer dat de steun voldoet aan de criteria van artikel 92, lid 1, van het Verdrag, maar niet in aanmerking komt voor de in de leden 2 en 3 van hetzelfde artikel vastgestelde uitzonderingen. Vooral de door de Griekse regering geplande steun om de schulden van de co(cid:246)peraties weg te werken, lijkt volgens de Commissie niet te voldoen aan de voorwaarden van de communautaire kaderregeling inzake reddings- en herstructureringssteun aan ondernemingen in moeilijkheden (1).

(1999/C 118/138) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-2645/98 van Kenneth Collins (PSE) aan de Commissie (1 september 1998) Betreft: Doæana Welke informatie heeft de Commissie over de omvang van de schade aan het geplande Natura 2000 › gebied in de regio Doæana in Spanje na de verontreiniging met giftige chemische stoffen bij Aznalc(cid:243)llar? Kan de Commissie enige informatie verstrekken over de vergoeding die moet worden betaald voor de schade aan de wilde flora en fauna in het nationale park en kan zij mededelen wanneer de eigenaars van grond in het gebied, zoals het WWF, op de hoogte van dergelijke informatie werden gebracht? Antwoord van mevrouw Bjerregaard namens de Commissie (13 oktober 1998) Volgens de door Spanje verstrekte informatie heeft de chemische verontreiniging bij Aznalc(cid:243)llar geleid tot de besmetting van 2. 256 hectare natuurpark en 98 hectare nationaal park. Het verontreinigde water is gedurende twee (cid:224) drie dagen langs de (cid:132)Brazo de la Torre(cid:148) gevloeid, die de oostelijke grens van het nationaal park vormt, tot op het ogenblik dat deze stroming stroomopwaarts definitief kon worden gestopt door de bouw van een stuwdam. De stuwdam heeft miljoenen kubieke meters met zware metalen beladen zuur water binnen het natuurpark gehouden. De zuivering van het door de stuwdam tegengehouden water zou nagenoeg voltooid zijn, zodat het in de GuadÆlquivir kon worden gestort. De schoonmaak van het verontreinigde slib moet onmiddellijk beginnen en v(cid:243)(cid:243)r het komende regenseizoen voltooid zijn. De Commissie heeft geen informatie ontvangen over mogelijke schadevergoedingen die de Spaanse autoriteiten zouden moeten betalen wegens de schade die aan de wilde flora en fauna in het nationaal park is toegebracht. Niettemin lijkt de schade binnen het nationaal park beperkt te zijn doordat de verontreiniging aan de noordelijke grens van het park snel is gestopt.

text: C 135/82 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 14. 5. 1999 (1999/C 135/096) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-2629/98 van Arie Oostlander (PPE) aan de Commissie (1 september 1998) Betreft: Kwaliteit van melkproducten van de Nederlandse zuivelindustrie die in aanmerking komen voor subsidie in het kader van de EU-schoolmelkregeling In hoeverre voldoen melkproducten van de Nederlandse zuivelindustrie, zoals chocolademelk, karnemelk en yoghurtdrinks, aan de door de Commissie gestelde kwaliteitsnormen voor zuivelproducten, die ingevolge de EU-schoolmelkregeling voor subsidie in aanmerking komen? Indien niet, welke producten voldoen dan niet aan de kwaliteitsnormen van de Commissie en in welke mate? Indien de betreffende producten wel voldoen aan de kwaliteitsnormen, wil de Commissie dat dan openbaar maken opdat de scholen van een minimale keuze van zuivelproducten gebruik kunnen maken? Antwoord van de heer Fischler namens de Commissie (18 september 1998) In de communautaire regelgeving inzake de steun voor schoolmelk is uitsluitend aangegeven voor welke categorieën producten de steun kan worden toegekend, en niet aan welke kwaliteitsnormen die producten moeten voldoen. De horizontale regels ten aanzien van de kwaliteit van op de markt gebrachte zuivelproducten zijn dus ook van toepassing in het kader van het schoolmelkprogramma. Derhalve mag men aannemen dat geen enkel door de Nederlandse zuivelindustrie geproduceerd zuivelproduct van het programma hoeft te worden uitgesloten om redenen die verband houden met de kwaliteit. (1999/C 135/097) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-2633/98 van Otto von Habsburg (PPE) aan de Raad (1 september 1998) Betreft: Betrekkingen EU-Kroatië Ik verwijs naar het weinig informatieve en volledig ontoereikende antwoord op mijn vraag aan de Raad van 31 maart 1998 (P-1110/98 (1)) betreffende het afgelaste bezoek van de voorzitter van de Raad aan Zagreb, dat ik pas op 6 juli heb ontvangen: 1. Is de Raad bereid, in plaats van algemene en onbewezen beschuldigingen tegen Kroatië uit te brengen, concreet aan te geven op welke punten Zagreb aantoonbaar niet aan zijn internationale verplichtingen heeft voldaan? 2. Wat wordt met de zin „im regionalen Ansatz und der Politik der Konditionalität” (in de regionale benadering en het conditionaliteitsbeleid) in een normale en niet-bureaucratische taal bedoeld? 3. Is de Raad zich ervan bewust dat er door bepaalde kringen in de EU een systematisch vijandig beleid tegen Kroatië word gevoerd alhoewel dit land zich niet alleen op voorbeeldige wijze tegen de agressie van buiten heeft verdedigd, maar ook zijn buurlanden nooit ook maar in het minst heeft bedreigd?

In particolare il programma PHARE si Ł impegnato a finanziare la realizzazione dell(cid:146)autostrada A4 Breslavia-Katowice. A quanto ammonta il bilancio di tale progetto, quando Ł previsto il suo completa- mento e qual Ł l(cid:146)attuale stato di avanzamento dei lavori di costruzione? Risposta data dal signor van den Broek in nome della Commissione (22 settembre 1998) Nel 1997 hanno iniziato a decorrere cinque contratti per la costruzione del tratto dell(cid:146)autostrada A4 che si estende per 126 km tra le vicinanze di Wroclaw e Nogawczyce (ad ovest di Gliwice). Questo tratto autostradale dovrebbe essere aperto al traffico entro l(cid:146)inverno 2000/2001. Due dei suddetti contratti, concernenti il ripristino dei ponti esistenti e la costruzione di nuovi ponti, sono finanziati dal programma PHARE con un contributo di 49 MECU. I lavori sono a buon punto e si prevede che le opere saranno completate nell(cid:146)ottobre del 2000. Gli altri tre contratti, relativi a lavori di ammodernamento della rete stradale, hanno beneficiato di un prestito della BEI di 225 MECU. Il governo polacco partecipa ai lavori effettuati su questo tratto con un contributo ai costi di capitale totali equivalente a 67 MECU. Il tratto di autostrada di 53 km tra Nogawczyce e la circonvallazione ovest di Katowice si trova ancora in fase di programmazione dettagliata. ¨ comunque certo che la BEI fornir(cid:224) i finanziamenti per la sua costruzione. I lavori di costruzione del breve tratto (4,6 km) di circonvallazione di Katowice dovrebbero iniziare tra breve. Essi beneficieranno di una sovvenzione di 35 MECU a titolo del programma PHARE, mentre i restanti costi saranno coperti in parte dal governo polacco e in parte con un prestito BEI.

text: 14. 5. 1999 DA De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende C 135/69 (1999/C 135/080) SKRIFTLIG FORESPØRGSEL E-2526/98 af Graham Watson (ELDR) til Rådet (1. september 1998) Om: Politisk undertrykkelse i Burma Da det militære diktatur i Burma har begået talrige grusomheder mod det burmesiske folk og befolkningen i landet lever i stor fattigdom på trods af en overflod af naturlige ressourcer, hvilke foranstaltninger agter Rådet da at træffe? Kan Rådet anbefale indførelse af økonomiske og finansielle sanktioner mod den burmesiske regering? Svar (16. november 1998) Rådet er fortsat dybt bekymret over de stadige overgreb mod menneskerettighederne og manglen på demokratiske fremskridt i Burma/Myanmar. Regimets seneste skærpelse af restriktionerne og det øgede tryk på den demokratiske opposition er særligt foruroligende og er blevet fordømt af EU. EU har ved mange lejligheder, senest den 26. oktober 1998, fremsat stærke offentlige erklæringer, hvori den beklager menneskerettighedssituationen og det manglende demokrati i Burma/Myanmar. Under 54. møde i FN’s Menneskerettighedskommission forelagde Den Europæiske Union en resolution, der udtrykte kritik af menneskerettighedssituationen i Burma, og som blev vedtaget den 20. april 1998. EU har desuden gentagne gange opfordret den burmesiske regering til at indlede en reel dialog med alle demokratiske oppositionspartier. EU har desuden regelmæssige kontakter med ASEAN-landene vedrørende Burma/Myanmar og opfordrer dem kraftigt til at lægge øget pres på SPDC-regimet. Rådet besluttede den 26. oktober 1998 at forlænge den fælles holdning vedrørende Burma, som det fastlagde den 28. oktober 1996 (1), og som indeholder en række restriktive foranstaltninger over for Burma og de burmesiske myndigheder, med endnu seks måneder. Det har også besluttet at styrke denne fælles holdning ved at forbyde udstedelse af transitvisa og ved at udvide forbuddet mod udstedelse af visa til også at omfatte burmesiske turistmyndigheder (idet det sikres, at forbuddet finder nøje anvendelse på alle medlemmer af Rådet for Fred og Udvikling (SPDC) og militærpersoner samt disses familiemedlemmer). Rådet er ligeledes enigt med Aung San Suu Kyi i, at det i den nuværende situation er uhensigtsmæssigt, at turister besøger Burma. Rådet har også overvejet muligheden af økonomiske og finansielle sanktioner mod Burma men har endnu ikke truffet beslutning herom. Det bør dog i den forbindelse nævnes, at tvangsarbejdet i landet har været årsag til EF’s beslutning om ikke længere at lade Burma/Myanmar være omfattet af den fælles præferenceordning.

Nevertheless, Member States with a derogation can be expected to join the mechanism. A Member State which does not participate from the outset in ERM II may participate at a later date; Whereas the European Council has in its Resolution of 16 June (hereinafter referred to as the "Resolution’) agreed to set up an exchange rate mechanism (here(cid:220) inafter referred to as "ERM II’) when the third stage of economic and monetary union begins on 1 January 1999; -(cid:217)ERM II will function without prejudice to the primary objective of the ECB and the non(cid:220)euro area NCBs to maintain price stability; Whereas, under the terms of the Resolution, -(cid:217)ERM II will replace the present European Monetary System; -(cid:217)a stable economic environment is necessary for the good functioning of the single market and for higher investment, growth and employment, and is therefore interest of all Member States.

Counterparties shall be required to pay in due time so as to enable the NCBs and the ECB to fulfil their respective payment obligations. Consequently, counterparties shall be required to pay before a predefined deadline.

Una primera muestra de esta tendencia la constituye el reciente anuncio de la alianza entre las Bolsas de Londres y Frankfurt. En este nuevo marco que va a instaurarse progresivamente, ¿considera el Consejo que es necesario tratar de lograr una mayor armonizaci(cid:243)n de las normas de funcionamiento de los mercados financieros europeos? ¿O bien estima que convendr(cid:237)a avanzar hacia la creaci(cid:243)n de una instituci(cid:243)n europea de control, del tipo de la Comisi(cid:243)n de Valores y Cambios de los Estados Unidos?

Por otra parte, a ra(cid:237)z de su plan de acci(cid:243)n en favor del mercado œnico, la Comisi(cid:243)n acaba de presentar dos propuestas de Directiva del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo por las que se modifica la Directiva 85/611/CEE sobre determinados organismos de inversi(cid:243)n colectiva en valores mobiliarios (OICVN).
