text: C 142/50 Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas ES 21. 5. 1999 −como señala Su Señoría− eso no ha impedido a la Comisión impulsar y apoyar un gran número de proyectos europeos (unos 1400 durante el período de 1994-1997), tanto en el ámbito de la creación cultural contemporánea (programa Caleidoscopio), del libro y la lectura (programa Ariadna) como de la protección del patrimonio (programa Rafael). Por otra parte, con arreglo al apartado 4 del artículo 128 del Tratado CE, en lo sucesivo, la dimensión cultural debe integrarse en las demás políticas comunitarias. La Comisión lanzó, así, por primera vez, los proyectos piloto de cooperación interregional en el ámbito cultural en el marco de la programación del artículo 10 del Reglamento del Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (1) para el período 1994-1999, por un importe total de 15 millones de ecus. No obstante, conviene destacar que la razón principal que presidió el lanzamiento de estos proyectos piloto es facilitar la explotación de un patrimonio cultural a veces mal desarrollado por los territorios desfavorecidos de la Comunidad, contribuyendo a que establezcan una red con otras colectividades territoriales, con fines de aprendizaje, transferencia de conocimientos y desarrollo económico. Las acciones piloto de cooperación interregional con vocación cultural se inscriben, pues, en el marco de la política de cohesión. Estos proyectos están en vías de realización y, por lo tanto, cerrados. No hay previstas más convocatorias de propuestas antes de la nueva programación 2000-2006. No obstante, hay que señalar que la dimensión de la valorización del patrimonio cultural de las regiones con fines de mantenimiento o creación de empleos duraderos también ha sido integrada en otras medidas de cooperación interregional, en concreto, en la última convocatoria de propuestas ECOS-Ouverture (cooperación interregional externa) del 13 de junio de 1998.

Fischler in nome della Commissione (21 ottobre 1998) La Commissione informa l’onorevole parlamentare che sta esaminando le osservazioni ricevute nel quadro della procedura avviata a norma dell’articolo 93, paragrafo 2 del trattato e che al termine di tale esame prenderà una decisione definitiva sugli aiuti in questione, conformemente alla procedura suddetta. (1999/C 289/012) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2876/98 di Marjo Matikainen-Kallström (PPE) alla Commissione (28 settembre 1998) Oggetto: Libro verde sullo sport Nella sua risposta all’interrogazione scritta (E-3426/97, 27. 11. 1997) (1), relativa alla posizione dello sport nell’Unione europea, il Commissario Marcelino Oreja sostiene che la Commissione intende adottare una comunicazione sullo sport prima dell’agosto 1998. La risposta afferma altresì che l’approvazione della comunicazione «potrebbe essere seguita da un Libro verde». Alla luce di quanto sopra, è possibile sapere se la Commissione ha già approvato la comunicazione in parola e, se del caso, quali misure ha adottato per elaborare un Libro verde sullo sport? (1) GU C 134 del 30. 4. 1998, pag. 162. Risposta data dal sig.

Debido a dicho fallo, la Comisi(cid:243)n ha congelado 100 l(cid:237)neas de su presupuesto. El Parlamento Europeo de los J(cid:243)venes es una de las organizaciones cuya financiaci(cid:243)n se ha suspendido. Respuesta de la Sra. Cresson en nombre de la Comisi(cid:243)n (20 de octubre de 1998) Como seæala Su Seæor(cid:237)a, el Parlamento Europeo de los J(cid:243)venes ha recibido, durante los œltimos aæos, una subvenci(cid:243)n financiada con cargo a la l(cid:237)nea presupuestaria B3-1000, que carece de base jur(cid:237)dica. El 10 de junio de 1998, en respuesta a la sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de 12 de mayo de 1998, la Comisi(cid:243)n, responsable de la correcta aplicaci(cid:243)n de la legislaci(cid:243)n comunitaria, decidi(cid:243) examinar en profundidad la situaci(cid:243)n de las l(cid:237)neas presupuestarias sin base jur(cid:237)dica. Al mismo tiempo, como medida cautelar, se suspendieron los compromisos relacionados con estas l(cid:237)neas. Concluido el anÆlisis, la Comisi(cid:243)n ha podido desbloquear, al menos parcialmente, la mayor(cid:237)a de las l(cid:237)neas presupuestarias en cuesti(cid:243)n, lo que no ha sido posible en el caso de la l(cid:237)nea B3-1000. Sin embargo, la Comisi(cid:243)n ha decidido examinar, caso por caso, si determinadas acciones espec(cid:237)ficas pueden seguir recibiendo financiaci(cid:243)n, en 1998, con cargo a las l(cid:237)neas que no ha podido desbloquear. Las solicitudes del Parlamento Europeo de los J(cid:243)venes forman parte de las peticiones que se estÆn examinando en este contexto. De cara al futuro, conviene tener en cuenta la posici(cid:243)n expresada por la Comisi(cid:243)n de Cultura, Juventud, Educaci(cid:243)n y Medios de Comunicaci(cid:243)n del Parlamento Europeo en un dictamen reciente. Durante la primera lectura parlamentaria del proyecto de presupuesto para 1999, recomend(cid:243) a la Comisi(cid:243)n de Presupuestos que inscribiera las ayudas destinadas a financiar actividades del tipo de las realizadas por el Parlamento Europeo de los J(cid:243)venes en una nueva l(cid:237)nea creada en la parte A del presupuesto.

Basta pensar en el ruido producido por las instalaciones ferroviarias, el trÆfico de motocicletas, las emisiones sonoras de los veh(cid:237)culos rodados, el uso de maquinaria para obras urbanas, etc. A todo ello hay que aæadir una nueva fuente de contaminaci(cid:243)n acœstica, la «Estate Romana» («Verano Romano»), un periodo de manifestaciones culturales, entretenimiento, juegos, gastronom(cid:237)a y deportes que se organiza en Roma desde hace algunos aæos con el patrocinio del Ayuntamiento de Roma, la Regi(cid:243)n del Lacio y la Provincia de Roma. El resultado de estas manifestaciones para los habitantes de las zonas colindantes consiste en una serie de preocupantes molestias para la salud provocadas por la contaminaci(cid:243)n sonora nacida de los conciertos nocturnos, las discotecas al aire libre o el aflujo notable de coches a la zona, incluso a horas avanzadas de la noche. En este sentido, la normativa italiana prevØ la protecci(cid:243)n contra la contaminaci(cid:243)n acœstica gracias a la ley marco de 26 de octubre de 1995 no 447. Pero la 447/95, al ser una ley marco, exige, para su plena efectividad, los correspondientes procedimientos legislativos y la adopci(cid:243)n de decretos ministeriales de aplicaci(cid:243)n, as(cid:237) como la promulgaci(cid:243)n de leyes regionales. Desgraciadamente, hasta hoy, dichos procedimientos ministeriales no han sido llevados a cabo ni existe aœn una ley regional, por lo que la administraci(cid:243)n del Ayuntamiento de Roma no puede adoptar reglamentos para la protecci(cid:243)n contra la contaminaci(cid:243)n acœstica

text: C 142/50 Euroopan yhteisöjen virallinen lehti FI 21. 5. 1999 luovasta taiteellisesta niitä (noin 1 400 hanketta vuosina 1994—1997). Hankkeet ovat ulottuneet toiminnasta (Kaleidoskooppi-ohjelma) kirjan ja lukemisen alaan (Ariane-ohjelma) ja kulttuuriperinnön säilyttämiseen (Raphael-ohjelma). EY:n perustamissopimuksen 128 artiklan 4 kohdan mukaisesti kulttuuriin liittyvät näkökohdat on sisällytettävä muihin yhteisön politiikkoihin. Komissio on käynnistänyt ensimmäistä kertaa alueiden välisen yhteistyön pilottihankkeita kulttuurin saralla osana Euroopan aluekehitysrahastosta annetun asetuksen (1) 10 artiklassa tarkoitettua ohjelmatyötä kaudelle 1994—1999. Niihin on myönnetty varoja yhteensä 15 miljoonaa ecua. Tärkein peruste näiden pilottihankkeiden käynnistämiselle on kuitenkin ollut edistää yhteisön epäsuo- tuisten alueiden toisinaan heikosti esille tuodun kulttuuriperinnön hyödyntämistä ja tukea alueellisten yhteisöjen verkottumista. Näiden toimien perimmäisenä tavoitteena on oppiminen, taitotiedon siirtäminen ja talouden kasvu. Kulttuuripainotteinen alueiden välisen yhteistyön pilottitoiminta kuuluu siis osana koheesiopolitiikkaan. Näitä hankkeita toteutetaan parhaillaan ja niiden hakuaika on näin ollen päättynyt. Uusia ehdotuspyyntöjä ei ole suunnitteilla ennen uutta ohjelmakautta 2000—2006. On kuitenkin huomattava, että alueellisen kulttuuriperinnön hyödyntäminen työpaikkojen säilyttämiseksi tai pysyvien työpaikkojen luomiseksi on sisällytetty myös muihin alueiden välisiin yhteistyötoimiin, erityisesti Ecos-Ouverture -ohjelman (unionin rajat ylittävä alueiden välinen yhteistyö) viimeisimpään ehdotuspyyntöön, joka julkaistiin 13. kesäkuuta 1998.

title: SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG nr. 2869/98 van Richard CORBETT aan de Commissie. Ongereptheid van door de habitat-richtlijn beschermde gebieden

text: C 142/50 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 21. 5. 1999 programma’s uitgetrokken begrotingsmiddelen beperkt zijn, heeft de Commissie toch een groot aantal Europese projecten (ongeveer 1. 400 projecten voor de periode 1994 − 1997) op het gebied van de hedendaagse culturele scheppingen (programma Caleidoscoop), het boek en het lezen (programma Ariane) en de bescherming van het cultureel erfgoed (programma Raphaël) op gang gebracht en gesteund. Bovendien moet de culturele dimensie voortaan overeenkomstig artikel 128, lid 4, van het EG-Verdrag in het overige communautaire beleid worden geïntegreerd. De Commissie heeft derhalve voor het eerst modelprojecten voor interregionale samenwerking op cultureel gebied opgestart in het kader van de programmering van artikel 10 van de verordening betreffende het Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling (1) voor de periode 1994 − 1999. Hiermee is een totaalbedrag van 15 miljoen ecu gemoeid. Toch moet worden onderstreept dat met de lancering van deze modelprojecten vooral wordt beoogd de opwaardering te vergemakkelijken van het cultureel erfgoed die soms onvoldoende door de minder begunstigde gebieden van de Gemeenschap wordt ontwikkeld, en wel door bij te dragen tot netwerkvor- ming met andere lagere overheden, zulks met het oog op kennismaking, overdracht van know-how en economische ontwikkeling. De modelacties voor interregionale samenwerking met culturele oogmerken passen dus in het kader van het cohesiebeleid. Deze projecten worden momenteel ten uitvoer gelegd en er kunnen bijgevolg geen voorstellen meer worden ingediend. Er is vóór de nieuwe programmering 2000 − 2006 geen nieuwe oproep tot het indienen van voorstellen gepland. Er dient echter op te worden gewezen dat de dimensie van de opwaardering van het cultureel erfgoed van de regio’s met het oog op het behoud of het scheppen van duurzame werkgelegenheid eveneens in andere acties inzake interregionale samenwerking is geïntegreerd, en met name in de laatste oproep tot het indienen van voorstellen voor het programma ECOS-Ouverture (externe interregionale samenwerking) van 13 juni 1998.

text: 14. 5. 1999 FR Journal officiel des Communautés européennes C 135/131 Réponse (20/21 décembre 1998) Le code de conduite en matière d’exportation d’armes a été adopté le 8 juin 1998 afin d’instaurer des normes communes élevées qui seraient considérées comme le minimum en matière de gestion et de modération dans le domaine des transferts d’armes conventionnelles par tous les États membres et de renforcer l’échange d’informations pertinentes dans ce domaine en vue d’assurer une plus grande transparence au sein de l’Union. Les faits que l’Honorable Parlementaire évoque dans sa question n’ont pas été portés à la connaissance du Conseil. Comme l’Honorable Parlementaire le sait certainement, les décisions particulières en matière d’exporta- tion d’armements, et, partant, la mise en œuvre du code, relèvent toujours de la compétence des États membres et des autorités nationales chargées de délivrer les autorisations. En application des dispositions du code, le Conseil travaille actuellement à la définition détaillée de la procédure nécessaire pour procéder aux échanges de renseignements envisagés. (1999/C 135/158) QUESTION ÉCRITE E-2867/98 posée par Clive Needle (PSE) à la Commission (28 septembre 1998) Objet: Code de conduite sur le contrôle des armes Malgré le code de conduite sur le contrôle des armes adopté en mai dernier, la société allemande Heckler et Koch a signé un contrat avec la société turque MKEK, au terme duquel cette dernière fabriquera 200 000 fusils de combat. Compte tenu des violations des droits de l’homme commises en Turquie, cet état de fait n’est-il pas contraire au code de conduite et quelles mesures la Comission entend-elle prendre en l’espèce? Réponse donnée par M. van den Broek au nom de la Commission (5 novembre 1998) Le code de conduite de l’Union sur les exportations d’armes a été formellement approuvé par le Conseil affaires générales du 8 juin 1998. Ce code de conduite énumère différents critères à prendre en considération par les États membres dans leurs ventes de matériel d’armement à des pays tiers. Parmi ces critères, on trouve notamment le respect des engagements internationaux des États membres ainsi que la situation des droits de l’homme dans le pays de destination. Le code de conduite n’est toutefois pas un instrument de politique communautaire et par conséquent, conformément aux règles du traité, la Commission n’est pas en mesure d’assurer sa mise en œuvre. Il appartient dès lors à chacun des États membres en particulier d’interpréter les critères énumérés par le code et d’évaluer leur application aux ventes d’armes qu’ils effectuent. (1999/C 135/159) QUESTION ÉCRITE E-2870/98 posée par Patricia McKenna (V) à la Commission (28 septembre 1998) Objet: Pollution par le phosphore contenu dans les détergents Les détergents sont la principale cause de la présence de phosphore dans les eaux usées. Une telle pollution a abouti à l’interdiction légale du phosphore dans les détergents en Italie et en Suisse, ainsi qu’à des accords volontaires avec l’industrie des produits lessiviels dans d’autres pays, tels que l’Allemagne et

As for the use of Internet by criminal organisations, Europol is seeking to develop a strategy to obtain intelligence and information on high tech crime that would embrace a larger scope than simply computer crime.

(1999/C 135/181) WRITTEN QUESTION P-2975/98 by Umberto Bossi (NI) to the Commission (28 September 1998) Subject: Italian proposal to promote job creation in the south with exemptions from contributions The Italian Government recently issued a proposal to promote job creation in the south of Italy by exempting firms in the area from paying contributions. The Government failed, moreover, to obtain information from the Community authorities about the legality of this measure. The same thing happened in 1995 when it launched ‘work training contracts’ and as a result of this emission infringement proceedings were initiated against Italy (for breaching Community anti-trust rules) and the firms were requested to refund all the subsidies received since 1995. Does the Commission not agree that the Italian Government’s measures to support the south discriminate against firms in the other regions of Italy which would like to hire more staff but cannot benefit from any job-creation measures? What measures does the Commission intend to take against Italy in order to avoid any further ‘omission’ to notify national measures? Does the Commission not consider that SMEs in Italy should be given more protection to ensure that productive workers do not suffer from the Government’s errors? Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (19 October 1998) The Commission has not been officially informed of the proposal to which the Honourable Member refers. Under Article 93(3) of the EC Treaty, the Italian Government is obliged to inform the Commission of any plans to grant or alter aid before they are implemented, so that it can decide whether they are compatible with the common market. The Commission will ensure that this obligation is met. The Commission will examine measures notified to it in the light of Community rules and in particular, where the measure is to promote job creation, on the basis of the guidelines on aid to employment (1). If measures are put into effect before the Commission gives its approval, they are illegal and the Commission may also ask for any subsidies received to be refunded. The Commission does not consider it appropriate to comment on the Italian Government’s intentions to support certain regions or categories of firms, provided that Community rules on state aid are upheld.

Komission j(cid:228)senen Joªo de Deus Pinheiron komission puolesta antama vastaus (13. marraskuuta 1998) Yhteis(cid:246)n elintarvikeapupolitiikkaa on hallinnoitu vuodesta 1986 l(cid:228)htien osana yhteis(cid:246)n kehitysyhteisty(cid:246)- politiikkaa. Elintarvikeapupolitiikan tavoitteena on ollut parantaa elintarviketurvaa edunsaajamaissa riippumatta siit(cid:228), onko yhteis(cid:246)ll(cid:228) mahdollisesti maataloustuotteiden ylij(cid:228)(cid:228)m(cid:228)varastoja. Elintarvikeapu rahoitetaan t(cid:228)m(cid:228)n kokonaisvaltaisen politiikan yhteydess(cid:228) yhteis(cid:246)n elintarvikeavulle varatusta talous- arviosta, jota hallinnoi komissio.

Vuonna 1997 elintarvikeapua ei toimitettu lainkaan interventiovarastoista. Vuonna 1998 on t(cid:228)h(cid:228)n menness(cid:228) toimitettu 10 000 tonnia riisi(cid:228) interventiovarastoista. Riisi on toimitettu Korean demokraatti- seen kansantasavaltaan. Komissio on my(cid:246)nt(cid:228)nyt Sudanille t(cid:228)n(cid:228) vuonna t(cid:228)h(cid:228)n menness(cid:228) l(cid:228)hes 38 000 tonnia elintarvikeapua yhteis(cid:246)n elintarvikeavulle varatusta talousarvioista. Elintarvikeapu, jonka arvo on yli 35 miljoonaa ecua, on toimitettu Yhdistyneiden Kansakuntien hallinnoiman Maailman elintarvike- ohjelman ja kansainv(cid:228)listen kansalaisj(cid:228)rjest(cid:246)jen (valtiosta riippumattomien j(cid:228)rjest(cid:246)jen) v(cid:228)lityksell(cid:228).
