text: 14. 5. 1999 FI Euroopan yhteisöjen virallinen lehti C 135/167 (1999/C 135/207) KIRJALLINEN KYSYMYS E-3098/98 esittäjä(t): Umberto Bossi (NI) neuvostolle (19. lokakuuta 1998) Aihe: Ammattilaisjalkapalloilijoiden ammatilliset suhteet Jalkapalloilijoiden ja urheilumanagerien välisissä ammatillisissa suhteissa ei voida luoda esteitä, jotka haittaavat ja estävät vapaata kilpailua niin monimuotoisella ja jatkuvasti kehittyvällä alalla kuin jalkapalloilu. Italian jalkapalloliiton käytössä oleva erityinen luettelo ei voi olla Italian oikeusjärjestelmän mukainen, koska siinä ei noudateta työelämälle tyypillisiä sääntöjä. Luomisen, keksimisen, tutkimisen ja aloitteellisuuden iloa ja mielikuvituksen lentoa ei voida kieltää yksityisiltä edes urheilun alalla, kun on kyse todellisesta teollisesta ja kaupallisesta toiminnasta. Siksi kysynkin neuvostolta: 1. Onko Italian jalkapalloliiton omaksuma managerikäytäntö vastoin työelämää koskevan yhteisön lainsäädännön kehitystä? 2. Estääkö Italian jalkapalloliiton omaksuma managerikäytäntö palvelujen vapaata liikkumista, kun otetaan huomioon myös ammatillisen toiminnan harjoittaminen suhteessa siihen sovellettavaan Italian lainsäädäntöön (laki N:o 287/90)? Vastaus (20. ja 21. joulukuuta 1998) Neuvosto muistuttaa arvoisalle parlamentin jäsenelle, että perustamissopimuksen nojalla komissio on toimivaltainen valvomaan kyseisen perustamissopimuksen määräysten soveltamista. Tästä seuraa, että koska arvoisan parlamentin jäsenen esittämät jalkapalloilijoiden ja urheiluseurojen välisiä ammatillisia suhteita koskevat kysymykset koskevat näkökohtia, jotka liittyvät ammattien vapaaseen harjoittamiseen ja vapaaseen kilpailuun, ne ovat komission toimivaltaan kuuluvia asioita.

text: 29. 4. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 118/179 (1999/C 118/229) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3095/98 by AndrØ Sainjon (ARE) to the Commission (16 October 1998) Subject: Aid granted by the IMF to South Korea and its repercussions for shipyards In his letter of 3 March 1998, Sir Leon Brittan stated that the Commission would exercise vigilance and verify that the aid granted by the International Monetary Fund to South Korea was not used to save bankrupt shipyards. Could the Commission inform me of its progress with this verification and its initial findings? Answer given by Sir Leon Brittan on behalf of the Commission (5 November 1998) The Commission is keeping a close watch on developments in the financial crisis in South Korea and its impact on the European shipbuilding industry. At the meeting between Asia and Europe (ASEM II) in April 1998, the shipbuilding issue was raised with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. He acknowledged that overcapacity in the sector was the result of inappropriate allocation of funding and that his Government(cid:146)s policy was to apply market principles more stringently and hence not to support bankrupt firms in the sector. Consequently no aid from the IMF should be used for shipyards in difficulties. The IMF(cid:146)s plan, which South Korea accepted, is intended only to stabilise the financial and banking system and in no way to fund industrial sectors. Although the Commission does not sit on the IMF, it is carefully monitoring the situation. It has repeatedly raised a series of questions with the South Korean authorities on the utilisation of IMF funding. These questions have been discussed at bilateral talks, such as the May 1998 high-level consultations between the Commission and the South Korean authorities. A number of assurances have been given. None the less, the Commission has asked for further clarifications on the restructuring of the sector, the support given by Korea Eximbank for exporting vessels and for clarifications about allegations of local subsidies to shipyard sub-contractors. The Commission continues to monitor developments closely. To date, however, it has received no information indicating that South Korea has failed to comply with its international obligations in this field. (1999/C 118/230) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3096/98 by Umberto Bossi (NI) to the Council (19 October 1998) Subject: The monopoly enjoyed in Italy by CONI › football clubs and free competition The monopoly enjoyed in Italy by CONI [Italian National Olympic Committee] in professional and amateur competitive sporting activities, organised under law No 426 of 16 February 1942, is no longer tenable, not least in view of the substantial hand-outs the Italian state gives to CONI each year. The regulatory authority responsible for competition and markets, which has frequently been the subject of questions in the Italian Parliament calling for it to act, has never taken any action to assert the principle that the legislator should foster competition and break up monopolies. In particular, the action taken by the regulatory authority in respect of clubs in divisions A and B of the Italian Football League to tackle the perennial contractual issue of pay-per-view television rights has been ineffective, since it is directed at a body that belongs to the Italian Football Federation (Article 6(II) of the Statute) which effectively enjoys a monopoly in the game of soccer (Articles 1 and 2 of the Statute). The action taken by the regulatory authority fails to assert the principle of free competition, thereby benefitting a small number of groups operating in the sports industry

(1999/C 118/219) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2964/98 by Gerardo FernÆndez-Albor (PPE) to the Commission Subject: Teaching of Spanish in Brazil (8 October 1998) The Brazilian Government(cid:146)s recent decision to make the teaching of Spanish compulsory in Brazilian schools immediately highlighted the difficulty of implementing the measures owing to the shortage of Spanish teachers in Brazil. Since, in order to continue the process of integrating the South-American economies, all Brazilian citizens must have the opportunity of learning Spanish during their school career, the question of how the European Union could help overcome the shortage of Spanish teachers needs to be given consideration. Will the Commission say whether, as a way of supporting the process of economic integration in South American through MERCOSUR and similar agreements, it agrees that it should propose a programme to encourage Spanish teachers in the Community to teach Spanish in Brazil in order to overcome the shortage of teachers? Answer given by Mr Mar(cid:237)n on behalf of the Commission (30 October 1998) The Brazilian Government(cid:146)s very recent decision to step up the learning and use of Spanish by making teaching of the language compulsory, raises questions about how this is going to be achieved. It is clearly too soon to say, even in Brazil itself, how and when the process is going to get under way and hence all the more so whether external aid will be necessary. In any case, but in no way ruling out the Honourable Member(cid:146)s proposal, the beneficiary country must first come forward to request cooperation. (1999/C 118/220) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2968/98 by Riccardo Garosci (PPE) to the Council (19 October 1998) Subject: Restrictions on the free movement of EU citizens with reference to the implementation of the Schengen Agreements at the border between France and Italy I have seen for myself, and recent Italian press reports confirm, that French customs officials are carrying out checks on motor vehicles travelling from and to France at the Italian-French frontier near Ventimiglia, actually on Italian territory, in violation of the Schengen Agreement abolishing checks on persons at the EU(cid:146)s internal frontiers (referred to in Article 7A of the EC Treaty)

text: 21. 5. 1999 FR Journal officiel des Communautés européennes C 142/99 (1999/C 142/120) QUESTION ÉCRITE E-3162/98 posée par Mathieu Grosch (PPE) à la Commission (19 octobre 1998) Objet: Réglementation applicable aux travailleurs frontaliers en ce qui concerne l’assurance maladie et dépendance Aux termes des arrêts de la Cour de Justice relatifs aux affaires C-120/95 et C-158/96, les principes de la libre circulation des marchandises et des services s’appliquent également aux traitements et services médicaux. La Commission pourrait-elle répondre aux questions suivantes, relatives au cas d’un frontalier qui réside en Belgique et travaille en Allemagne où il est assuré, conformément aux dispositions en vigueur dans ce pays: 1. 2. 3. 4. les arrêts de la Cour de justice signifient-ils que, quel que soit l’État membre dans lequel les services médicaux sont demandés, le remboursement s’effectue toujours selon le taux en vigueur dans l’État dans lequel l’intéressé est assuré? dans l’affirmative, le fait que l’organisme assureur de l’intéressé applique exclusivement les taux de remboursement en vigueur dans l’État d’origine n’est-il pas contraire aux arrêts rendus? est-il exact que, conformément aux arrêts susmentionnés, la libre circulation s’applique également au secteur médical,, mais que les «frontaliers» n’en bénéficient pas dans la mesure où ils restent soumis au règlement CEE no 1408/71? dans l’affirmative, quelles mesures la Commission a-t-elle l’intention de prendre afin de remédier le plus rapidement possible à cette situation? Réponse donnée par M. Flynn au nom de la Commission (16 décembre 1998) D’après les articles 19 et 20 du règlement (CE) 1408/71 du Conseil, du 14 juin 1971, relatif à l’application des régimes de sécurité sociale aux travailleurs salariés et à leur famille qui se déplacent à l’intérieur de la Communauté (1), le travailleur frontalier peut choisir de se faire soigner ou dans son État membre de résidence, d’après la législation de cet État membre ou dans l’État membre où il travaille, comme prévu par la législation de ce dernier État membre, sans avoir besoin d’une autorisation préalable ou sans être limité aux prestations d’urgence. (1) consolidé par règlement (CEE) 118/97 du Conseil − JO L 28 du 30. 1. 1997. (1999/C 142/121) QUESTION ÉCRITE E-3163/98 posée par Mathieu Grosch (PPE) à la Commission (19 octobre 1998) Objet: Indemnité versée aux femmes qui exercent, au Luxembourg, une activité professionnelle à mi- temps après la naissance d’un enfant Après la naissance de son enfant, une Luxembourgeoise domiciliée au Grand-duché peut obtenir de l’État luxembourgeois le versement, pendant deux ans, d’une prime de mère au foyer, qu’elle travaille à mi- temps ou qu’elle n’exerce plus d’activité professionnelle. Un frontalier belge domicilié en Belgique, qui travaille au Grand-duché et dont l’épouse est Luxembourgeoise, a également sollicité cette prime auprès des autorités luxembourgeoises en indiquant que son épouse travaillait à mi-temps. Les autorités luxembourgeoises refusent de verser la prime de mère au foyer en arguant du fait qu’aux termes du règlement, seules les femmes de nationalité luxembourgeoise ou résidant au Luxembourg peuvent en bénéficier. 1. Cette réglementation n’enfreint-elle pas le règlement (CEE) 1408/71 du Conseil du 14 juin 1971, relatif à l’application des régimes de sécurité sociale aux travailleurs salariés, aux travailleurs non salariés et à leur famille qui se déplacent à l’intérieur de la Communauté?

text: C 135/142 Amtsblatt der Europäischen Gemeinschaften DE 14. 5. 1999 Der Rat sieht der Zusammenarbeit mit der neuen Regierung in Tirana erwartungsvoll entgegen, insbesondere was wirtschaftliche und demokratische Reformen und die Förderung der internen Sicherheit anbelangt. Er hat klargestellt, daß im nationalen Versöhnungsprozeß und bei der Annahme der Verfassung unbedingt Fortschritte erzielt werden müssen, und hat alle politischen Kräfte, insbesondere die Führer der Demokratischen Partei, dringend aufgefordert, ihrer Verantwortung gegenüber dem albanischen Volk gerecht zu werden. Der Rat begrüßt die erfolgreiche Durchführung der internationalen Konferenz in Tirana am 30. Oktober 1998, auf der eine Bestandsaufnahme der Zusammenarbeit zwischen der internationalen Gemeinschaft und Albanien erfolgt ist und die Zusammenarbeit mit der neuen Regierung in bezug auf ihre feste Zusage, Demokratie, Sicherheit und politische und wirtschaftliche Stabilität im Lande wiederherzustellen, geplant wurde.

Oktober 1998) Betrifft: MwSt. -Senkung für bestimmte arbeitsintensive Dienstleistungen Könnte die Kommission erläutern, welche Fortschritte hinsichtlich ihrer Mitteilung vom 12. November 1997 gemacht wurden, wodurch mittels Senkung der MwSt. auf arbeitsintensive Dienstleistungen, wie etwa die Renovierung von Gebäuden, die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen auf lokaler Ebene gefördert und bestimmte Arten „nicht angemeldeter“ Arbeit bekämpft werden solle? Antwort von Herrn Monti im Namen der Kommission (27. Oktober 1998) Die Mitteilung über die versuchsweise, fakultative Anwendung eines ermäßigten MwSt-Satzes auf arbeitsintensive Dienstleistungen (1) die die Kommission dem Rat am 12. November 1997 vorgelegt hat, wird zur Zeit noch im Rat erörtert. Die Kommission arbeitet außerdem an einem Vorschlag für die Anwendung ermäßigter MwSt-Sätze. Es wäre zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt verfrüht, auf die mehrwertsteuerliche Behandlung von Dienstleistungen wie die Renovierung von Gebäuden einzugehen. Diese Frage wird im Rahmen der derzeit laufenden Arbeiten der Kommission behandelt. (1) SEK(97) 2089 endg. (1999/C 135/174) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE E-2945/98 von Umberto Bossi (NI) an den Rat (19.

text: C 207/34 Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning SV 21. 7. 1999 Ändå har det visat sig att vissa konkreta problem kvarstår, vilket bland annat framgått av klagomål från spanska aktörer. I enlighet med den spanska lagstiftningen kan garantistämpeln anbringas av antingen ett offentligt eller ett godkänt organ. I det senare fallet avses ett organ som tillverkaren föreslår och som godkänts speciellt för detta av de nationella myndigheterna, som utövar noggrann tillsyn över stämplingen. Detta system liknar därför ett kvalitetssäkringssystem. Emellertid försvåras i praktiken ett faktiskt erkännande av att de medlemsstater som har ett system med kontroll av tredje man, vägrar att erkänna som likvärdiga de stämplar som anbringas på tillverkarens ansvar, inom ramen för ett kvalitetssäkringssystem. Som en följd av detta har kommissionen fått in ett antal nya klagomål och fall som upptäckts på ämbetets vägnar och därför har kommissionen återupptagit dialogen med alla berörda medlemsstater för att finna en lösning på detta problem. Medlemsstaternas myndigheter har särskilt tillfrågats om de är beredda att erkänna de stämplar som anbringas inom ramen för ett kvalitetssäkringssystem som ger lämpliga och tillräckliga garantier för yrkeskunnande och oberoende som likvärdiga med stämplar som anbringas av ett tredje organ.

(1999/C 207/043) SKRIFTLIG FRÅGA E-3160/98 från Sören Wibe (PSE) till kommissionen (19 oktober 1998) Angående: Rätt att förbjuda import av kött som producerats genom regelmässig användning av antibiotika Sverige har hittills fått behålla sitt undantag att ha förbud mot antibiotika i foder i tillväxtbefrämjande syfte. Men har Sverige rätt att förbjuda import av kött som producerats genom regelmässig användning av antibiotika? Svar från Franz Fischler på kommissionens vägnar (9 december 1998) Enligt bestämmelserna i bilaga XV till anslutningsakten får Sverige behålla lagstiftning som gällde vid anslutningen fram till och med den 31 december 1998 vad gäller förbud mot användningen av vissa tillsatser i foder, däribland antibiotika. Ett antal rapporter med likartade slutsatser har offentliggjorts både från vetenskapligt håll och från internationella eller nationella organisationer vad gäller utvecklingen av antimikrobiell resistens, varför kommissionen har bett Vetenskapliga styrkommittén att tvärvetenskapligt undersöka denna fråga. Kommissionen kommer om det visar sig nödvändigt att föreslå åtgärder med utgångspunkt i detta vetenskapliga yttrande. I enlighet med vad som sägs i anslutningsakten får ”dessa avvikelser inte påverka den fria rörligheten för animaliska produkter i gemenskapen”. Sverige får alltså inte förbjuda import av kött som producerats av djur som utfodrats med foder som innehåller sådan antibiotika som tillåts genom rådets direktiv 70/524/EEG av den 23 november 1970 om fodertillsatser (1).

text: 21. 5. 1999 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunità europee C 142/95 Risposta comune data dal sig. Pinheiro in nome della Commissione alle interrogazioni scritte E-3152/98 e P-3282/98 (1o dicembre 1998) La comunicazione della Commissione sulla politica della Comunità e degli Stati membri in materia di cooperazione con i paesi in via di sviluppo nel settore sanitario (1) stabilisce le priorità dell’aiuto e si concentra sulla riforma dei sistemi sanitari e sul potenziamento delle capacità di ciascun paese. In mancanza di un sostegno finanziario diretto a specifiche iniziative, la Commissione tende ad appoggiare il più possibile l’integrazione di queste attività. Detta integrazione si persegue innanzitutto tenendo conto di problemi particolari nella stesura dei piani di sviluppo sanitario nazionale, negli esami settoriali e nelle valutazioni, in secondo luogo attraverso il dialogo sul bilancio destinato alla sanità e infine, in molti casi, nell’ambito di progetti a sostegno dei servizi sanitari di base e delle politiche farmaceutiche. La Commissione non interviene direttamente in progetti che interessano esclusivamente la poliomielite, come il Programma di eradicazione globale, ma dedica i suoi sforzi al rafforzamento delle capacità nazionali in materia di vaccinazione. Essa appoggia le iniziative intese ad assicurare l’approvvigiona- mento dei vaccini prioritari (il vaccino antipolio è incluso nel programma ampliato di immunizzazione) allo scopo di ridurre la dipendenza dei PVS dai finanziamenti esterni, in particolare attraverso l’iscrizione in bilancio e l’autorizzazione di spese per la fornitura di vaccini. I numerosi interventi intrapresi dalla Commissione a livello di servizi sanitari di base contribuiscono allo sviluppo e al miglioramento della pratica corrente della vaccinazione (inclusa quella contro la poliomie- lite). In questo campo sono in corso progetti in 32 paesi subsahariani (per un valore di oltre 250 MECU a titolo del 7o Fondo europeo di sviluppo) e, attraverso i programmi di adeguamento strutturale, nei bilanci nazionali sono stati stanziati per la sanità 450 MECU. A titolo di esempio ricordiamo che nel quadro del programma regionale per l’Africa occidentale (7o FES) è in corso un progetto (9,5 MECU) inteso ad assicurare la fornitura di vaccini (compreso quello contro la poliomielite) nella zona del Sahel e a fornire assistenza tecnica per facilitare il coordinamento regionale dei programmi ampliati di immunizzazione. Se necessario e su richiesta dei singoli governi, questo impegno può essere aumentato in paesi dove sia in atto un dialogo sulle politiche sanitarie e un programma di adeguamento strutturale. In tal caso il sostegno supplementare può essere concordato sotto forma di finanziamento aggiuntivo a favore del programma di eradicazione della poliomielite (compresa l’organizzazione di giornate di immunizzazione), se la spesa viene iscritta in una specifica linea del bilancio nazionale.

Aquando da reuniªo da `sia e da Europa (ASEM II), realizada em Abril de 1998, a questªo da constru(cid:231)ªo naval foi referida ao Ministro dos Neg(cid:243)cios Estrangeiros e do ComØrcio. Este œltimo reconheceu que o excesso de capacidades no sector era resultado de uma afecta(cid:231)ªo deficiente das dota(cid:231)ıes e que a pol(cid:237)tica do seu governo tinha por objectivo uma aplica(cid:231)ªo mais rigorosa dos princ(cid:237)pios do mercado e, por conseguinte, nªo pretendia ajudar as empresas do sector em situa(cid:231)ªo de falŒncia. Consequentemente, nªo se prevŒ que os estaleiros navais em dificuldades beneficiem de qualquer ajuda do Fundo MonetÆrio Internacional. O plano do FMI, aceite pela Coreia, destina-se unicamente a estabilizar o sistema financeiro e bancÆrio, nªo proporcionado financiamentos aos sectores industriais. A Comissªo, que nªo se encontra representada no FMI, continua a acompanhar atentamente a evolu(cid:231)ªo da situa(cid:231)ªo, tendo colocado por diversas vezes (cid:224)s autoridades coreanas uma sØrie de questıes relativas (cid:224) utiliza(cid:231)ªo da ajuda financeira do FMI.

text: 29. 4. 1999 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 118/179 (1999/C 118/229) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-3095/98 di AndrØ Sainjon (ARE) alla Commissione (16 ottobre 1998) Oggetto: Aiuti accordati dall(cid:146) FMI alla Corea del Sud e loro ripercussioni sui cantieri navali Nella sua lettera del 3 marzo 1998 Sir Leon Brittan affermava che la Commissione si sarebbe mostrata vigilante, vegliando a che gli aiuti accordati dal Fondo monetario internazionale alla Corea del Sud non venissero utilizzati per salvare cantieri navali in fallimento. La Commissione potrebbe fornire informazioni sullo stato attuale di tale verifica nonchØ sui suoi primi risultati? Risposta di Sir Leon Brittan a nome della Commissione (5 novembre 1998) La Commissione segue con attenzione gli sviluppi della crisi finanziaria in Corea e il suo impatto sul settore della costruzione navale europea. Nella riunione ASEM II di aprile 1998, la questione della costruzione navale Ł stata posta al ministro degli Affari esteri e del commercio. Quest(cid:146)ultimo ha riconosciuto che l(cid:146)eccesso di capacit(cid:224) del settore era il risultato di una non corretta assegnazione degli aiuti e ha affermato che l(cid:146)attuale politica del suo governo intendeva applicare in maniera piø vincolante le regole di mercato, evitando di sostenere le imprese in fallimento del settore. Egli ha dichiarato che non si prevedevano pertanto aiuti del Fondo monetario internazionale (FMI) destinati ai cantieri navali in difficolt(cid:224). Il piano del FMI, accettato dalla Corea, Ł soltanto destinato a rendere stabile il sistema finanziario e bancario e non intende assolutamente procurare fondi ai settori industriali. La Commissione, che non Ł ammessa alle riunioni del FMI, controlla nondimeno con la massima attenzione l(cid:146)evoluzione della situazione. Essa ha piø volte sottoposto alle autorit(cid:224) coreane una serie di questioni relative all(cid:146)impiego dell(cid:146)aiuto finanziario del FMI. Queste questioni hanno formato oggetto di incontri bilaterali, quali le consultazioni ad alto livello organizzate nel maggio 1998 fra la Commissione e le autorit(cid:224) coreane. In merito sono state fornite garanzie. La Commissione ha chiesto tuttavia nuove precisazioni sulla ristrutturazione del settore, i sostegni concessi dalla Korea Eximbank per l(cid:146)esportazione di navi nonchØ le allegazioni di sovvenzioni locali a subappaltatori di cantieri navali. La Commissione intende continuare ad esaminare il dossier con la massima attenzione. Tuttavia, a tutt(cid:146)oggi, la Commissione non dispone di informazioni che le consentano di affermare che la Corea non ha rispettato i suoi obblighi internazionali in questo settore. (1999/C 118/230) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-3096/98 di Umberto Bossi (NI) al Consiglio (19 ottobre 1998) Oggetto: Monopolio italiano del CONI › societ(cid:224) di calcio e libera concorrenza Il monopolio nel settore delle attivit(cid:224) sportive agonistiche professionistiche e dilettantistiche, program- mate con la legge italiana n. 426 del 16 febbraio 1942, non Ł piø sostenibile, anche in relazione ai notevoli contributi che lo Stato italiano elargisce annualmente al CONI. L(cid:146)autorit(cid:224) garante per la concorrenza e il mercato, piø volte sollecitata con interrogazioni parlamentari nazionali, non si Ł mai attivata al fine di affermare il principio che il legislatore «deve creare vantaggi per i competitori e spezzare le posizioni dominanti». In particolare, risulta essere inefficiente l(cid:146)azione dell(cid:146)autorit(cid:224) nei confronti della Lega delle societ(cid:224) di calcio di serie A e B sull(cid:146)annosa questione contrattuale per i diritti televisivi pay per view in quanto si rivolge ad un organo della Federazione italiana gioco calcio (art. 6, comma II dello Statuto) che detiene, di fatto, il monopolio del settore calcistico (artt. 1 e 2 dello Statuto). L(cid:146)azione dell(cid:146)autorit(cid:224) prescinde dall(cid:146)affermazione del principio della libera concorrenza a vantaggio di pochi gruppi di operatori nel settore economico sportivo

title: INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA n. 2945/98 dell'on. Umberto BOSSI al Consiglio. Ritardi del governo italiano nell'istituire un fondo di garanzia a favore delle PMI

text: C 135/142 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunità europee IT 14. 5. 1999 Il Consiglio confida di cooperare con il nuovo Governo di Tirana, soprattutto nei settori della riforma economica e democratica e del potenziamento della sicurezza interna. Esso ha sottolineato l’assoluta necessità di compiere passi avanti nel processo di riconciliazione nazionale e di adottare la costituzione, e ha esortato tutte le forze politiche, in particolare i responsabili del Partito democratico, a essere all’altezza della loro responsabilità nei confronti del popolo albanese. Il Consiglio si è rallegrato del riuscito svolgimento della conferenza internazionale di Tirana il 30 ottobre, che ha fatto il punto sulla cooperazione tra la comunità internazionale e l’Albania e ha tracciato gli orientamenti per la cooperazione con il nuovo Governo, che si è impegnato a ripristinare la democrazia, la sicurezza e la stabilità politica ed economica nel paese. (1999/C 135/173) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2936/98 di David Martin (PSE) alla Commissione (8 ottobre 1998) Oggetto: Riduzione dell’IVA su alcuni servizi a forte intensità di manodopera Può la Commissione far sapere quali progressi sono stati realizzati, in merito alla sua Comunicazione del 12 novembre 1997, per promuovere la creazione di posti di lavoro a livello locale e combattere il fenomeno del lavoro «non dichiarato» attraverso la riduzione dell’IVA su taluni servizi a forte intensità di manodopera, ad esempio quelli forniti per il rinnovo di edifici? Risposta data dal sig. Monti a nome della Commissione (27 ottobre 1998) La Commissione informa l’onorevole parlamentare che la comunicazione relativa alla riduzione dell’aliquota IVA sui servizi ad alta intensità di lavoro per un periodo sperimentale e a titolo facoltativo, che è stato presentata al Consiglio il 12 novembre 199 (1) (1), si trova tuttora in fase di discussione in sede di Consiglio. D’altra parte, la Commissione ha avviato dei lavori in previsione di una proposta in materia di aliquote ridotte dell’IVA. Sarebbe prematuro a questo stadio discutere il futuro trattamento sotto l’aspetto dell’IVA di attività come il rinnovo di edifici. La questione sarà trattata nel corso dei lavori nei quali la Commissione è attualmente impegnata. (1) 1) SEC(97) 2089 def.

Il Ministero dell’industria italiano ha avviato, e mai concluso, un iter legislativo per il varo di un decreto volto a creare il fondo di garanzia nazionale da sommarsi a quello europeo. Il fondo di garanzia nazionale avrebbe dovuto essere disponibile a metà settembre, ma il varo non è previsto in tempi brevi

text: 21. 5. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 142/99 (1999/C 142/120) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3162/98 by Mathieu Grosch (PPE) to the Commission (19 October 1998) Subject: Sickness and care insurance for frontier workers In cases C-120/95 and C-1548/96 the Court of Justice has ruled that the principles of freedom of movement for goods and services also apply to medical treatment and services. Consider the case of a frontier worker who lives in Belgium but works in Germany where he is also insured in accordance with German law. 1. Regardless of the EU country in which the medical services are used, do the reimbursement rates always depend on the tariffs in the country where the person is insured? 2. 3. If so, does it not run counter to the judgments cited above if the social security scheme of the party insured applies the reimbursement rates only in accordance with the rules of the country of origin? Is it true that, while freedom of the market applies in accordance with the judgments of the Court of Justice cited, above frontier workers are excluded from this and will continue to be subject to EEC Regulation 1408/71? 4. If so, what action is the Commission planning to take to remedy this as soon as possible? Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (16 December 1998) Under Articles 19 and 20 of Council Regulation (EEC) 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the Community (1), frontier workers may choose to receive medical treatment in the Member State in which they reside, in accordance with the legislation of that Member State, or in the Member State in which they work, as provided for by the legislation of the latter Member State, without needing to obtain prior authorisation or being limited to services in emergencies. (1) consolidated by Council Regulation (EC) 118/97 − OJ L 28, 30. 1. 1997. (1999/C 142/121) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3163/98 by Mathieu Grosch (PPE) to the Commission (19 October 1998) Subject: Arrangements for part-time employment following pregnancy for workers in Luxembourg A Luxembourgish woman resident in Luxembourg can receive from the state of Luxembourg child allowance after the birth of her child even if she is employed on a part-time basis or if she stops working altogether. This allowance is covered by the child allowance scheme and is payable over two years. A Belgian frontier worker who is resident in Belgium and works in Luxembourg and whose wife is a Luxembourger has also applied for child allowance in Luxembourg on the grounds that his wife is still working part time. Luxembourg has referred to its rules whereby the child allowance is payable only to Luxembourgers or foreigners resident in Luxembourg. Does this contravene Regulation (EEC) 1408/71 of the Council of 14 June 1971 on the application of 1. social security schemes to employed persons and their families moving within the Community?

text: C 135/142 Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning SV 14. 5. 1999 Rådet ser fram mot samarbete med den nya regeringen i Tirana, särskild på området för ekonomiska och demokratiska reformer och förstärkt inre säkerhet. Rådet har klargjort det absoluta behovet av att framsteg görs i den nationella försoningsprocessen och av att en konstitution antas, och har enträget uppmanat alla politiska krafter, och då särskilt ledarskapet för Demokratiska partiet, att leva upp till sitt ansvar gentemot det albanska folket. Rådet välkomnade det framgångsrika genomförandet av den internationella konferensen i Tirana den 30 oktober där samarbetet mellan det internationella samfundet och Albanien granskades och där man planerade samarbetet med den nya regeringen som har åtagit sig att återupprätta demokrati, säkerhet och politisk och ekonomisk stabilitet i landet.

Svar från Mario Monti på kommissionens vägnar (27 oktober 1998) Som svar på parlamentsledamotens fråga önskar kommissionen förtydliga att det meddelande som den lade fram för rådet den 12 november 1997 (1), om förslag till sänkt mervärdesskatt på arbetskraftintensiva tjänster under en försöksperiod och på frivillig basis, fortfarande är föremål för diskussion i rådet. Det kan nämnas att kommissionen har påbörjat arbetet med att utforma ett förslag om nedsatta mervärdesskattesatser. Det vore förhastat att på detta stadium beröra den framtida behandlingen i fråga om mervärdesbeskattning av verksamheter som exempelvis fastighetsrenovering. Denna fråga utgör en del av det av kommissionen nu påbörjade arbetet. (1) SEK(97) 2089 slutlig.

Det italienska industriministeriet har inlett, men inte avslutat, ett lagstiftningsförfarande för att införa ett dekret om upprättandet av en nationell garantifond som skall komplettera den europeiska garantifonden. Den italienska garantifonden skulle varit färdig att tas i bruk i mitten av september, men man räknar med att det kommer att dröja länge än, innan den är färdig att utnyttjas
