De surcroît, la portée de cette opération a été étendue de sorte que le rapport qui sera présenté au Parlement et au Conseil contiendra également les données relatives aux premières élections au Parlement européen qui se sont déroulées en Suède, en Autriche et en Finlande. La Commission dispose-t-elle à présent des données chiffrées en question, ventilées par nationalité et par État membre? Quel est, in fine, le pourcentage des intéressés qui ont fait usage de ce droit de vote? Un rapport a-t-il déjà été présenté au Parlement et au Conseil? Dans l’affirmative, où a-t-il été publié?

text: 6. 11. 1999 FR Journal officiel des Communautés européennes C 320/105 communautaire, sauf si un accord de pêche distinct est signé au bénéfice des deux parties. Dans ce cas, l’accès au marché communautaire sera alors facilité par étapes, suivant un calendrier convenu. À Vienne, le Conseil européen a invité le Conseil à conclure les négociations au plus tard avant la réunion du Conseil européen de mars 1999. (1999/C 320/140) QUESTION ÉCRITE E-4003/98 posée par Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) à la Commission Objet: Dette extérieure et pays touchés par le cyclone Mitch (5 janvier 1999) Quels États membres de l’Union européenne ont accordé aux pays d’Amérique centrale touchés par le cyclone Mitch une remise de dette dans le cadre de leurs relations bilatérales avec ceux-ci? Quelles mesures les institutions financières internationales, dont principalement le FMI, ont-elles adoptées pour annuler ou alléger la dette des pays sinistrés? Réponse donnée par M. Marín au nom de la Commission (16 février 1999) La communauté internationale a répondu rapidement, sur le plan matériel, aux besoins générés par le passage du cyclone Mitch. Elle a, en outre, montré sans tarder qu’elle était disposée à alléger l’endettement des pays touchés par le cyclone. Tous les membres du Club de Paris ayant la qualité de pays créditeurs (ce qui englobe la plupart des États membres de la Communauté, à l’exception de la Grèce, de l’Irlande (1), du Luxembourg et du Portugal) ont accepté d’accorder un moratoire de trois ans au service de la dette publique bilatérale du Nicaragua et du Honduras. De plus, et bien que cette information détenue par la Commission ne soit pas complètement officielle, un certain nombre de pays membres de la Communauté (dont le Danemark, l’Allemagne, l’Espagne, la France, les Pays-Bas, l’Autriche et le Royaume-Uni), ainsi que d’autres donateurs, comme le Brésil et Cuba, ont annoncé leur intention, soit de renoncer au remboursement du principal, soit de suspendre les paiements au titre du service de la dette de la région. Les modalités varient selon que cette renonciation est partielle ou totale. Si l’annulation de la dette est définitive dans certains cas, dans d’autres, elle n’est que temporaire, et s’applique donc jusqu’à ce que les quatre pays concernés soient sortis de la passe difficile dans laquelle ils se trouvent actuellement et soient mieux à même de faire face à leurs obligations internationales. Les institutions financières internationales (IFI) les plus actives dans la région, à savoir la Banque mondiale, le Fonds monétaire international (FMI) et la Banque interaméricaine de développement, coopèrent à présent à la recherche de moyens permettant de réduire le poids de la dette. Ils ont, notamment créé un fonds fiduciaire destiné à financer le service de la dette multilatérale de ces pays et auquel certains États membres de la Communauté contribuent. Ces IFI se sont par ailleurs engagées à entreprendre avec les gouvernements du Honduras et du Nicaragua une évaluation complète de leur endettement extérieur et de leurs demandes d’allégement de la dette, dans le cadre de l’initiative en faveur des pays pauvres les plus lourdement endettés (PPLE). Enfin, ces institutions augmentent et accélèrent actuellement leur appui financier à ces pays. (1) L’Irlande appartient au Club de Paris, mais n’est pas un pays créditeur.

(2) EFT L 35 af 13. 2. 1996, s. 1. Artikel 1 1. Formålet med denne afgørelse er at fastsætte foran- staltninger, som gør det muligt at gennemføre økonomisk passiv forædling i de tilfælde, hvor forædlingsprocessen vedrører begge dele af toldunionen. Der er tale om forædlingsprocesser, som gennemføres inden for ram- merne af procedurer for økonomisk passiv forædling baseret på følgende retlige instrumenter: — for Fællesskabets vedkommende: Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 3030/93 af 12. oktober 1993 om den fælles ordning for indførsel af visse tekstilvarer med oprin- delse i tredjelande (3), Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 517/ 94 af 7. marts 1994 om den fælles ordning for indførsel af tekstilvarer fra en række tredjelande, som ikke er omfattet af bilaterale aftaler, protokoller eller andre arrangementer eller af andre specifikke fælles- skabsregler for indførsel (4), og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 3036/94 af 8. december 1994 om indførelse af en procedure for økonomisk passiv forædling for visse tekstilvarer og beklædningsgenstande, der genindføres til Fællesskabet efter bearbejdning i visse tredje- lande (5) — for Tyrkiets vedkommende: Dekret nr. 95/6815 af 30. april 1995 om overvågnings- og beskyttelsesforan- staltninger for indførsel af visse tekstilvarer, dekret nr. 95/6816 af 30. april 1995 om overvågnings- og beskyttelsesforanstaltninger for indførsel af tekstilva- rer med oprindelse i visse lande, som ikke er omfattet (3) EFT L 275 af 8. 11. 1993, s. 1. Forordningen er senest ændret ved forordning (EF) nr. 1053/98 (EFT L 151 af 21. 5. 1998, s. 10). (4) EFT L 67 af 10. 3. 1994, s. 1. Forordningen er senest ændret ved forordning (EF) nr. 1457/97 (EFT L 199 af 26. 7. 1997, s. 6). (5) EFT L 322 af 15. 12. 1994, s. 1.

Med henblik på anvendelsen af denne afgørelse forstås ved: — »del af toldunionen«: Fællesskabet, på den ene side, og Tyrkiet, på den anden side. — Andre udtryk finder tilsvarende anvendelse ifølge defi- nitionerne i de retlige instrumenter, der er omhandlet i stk. 1. Artikel 2 1. Når proceduren for økonomisk passiv forædling som omhandlet i artikel 1, stk. 1, bevilges i den ene del af toldunionen på grundlag af de i artikel 1 omhandlede retlige instrumenter, kan forædlingsprodukterne indføres i den anden del af toldunionen på de betingelser, der gælder for nævnte procedure. 2. Varer, der er omfattet af en procedure for økono- misk passiv forædling, som er bevilget i den ene del af toldunionen på grundlag af de i artikel 1, stk. 1, omhand- lede retlige instrumenter, kan have oprindelse i den anden del af toldunionen, jf. dog de tilladte undtagelser i forordning (EF) nr. 3036/94 og i den tilsvarende tyrkiske lovgivning. Artikel 3 På grundlag af en rapport fra det toldsamarbejdsudvalg EF-Tyrkiet, der er nedsat ved afgørelse nr. 2/69 truffet af Associeringsrådet EF-Tyrkiet, foretager associeringsrådet hvert andet år efter denne afgørelses ikrafttræden en vurdering af proceduren for økonomisk passiv forædling, der indføres i medfør af denne afgørelse, og træffer de nødvendige foranstaltninger for at afhjælpe eventuelle mangler i ordningens funktion. Artikel 4 Toldsamarbejdsudvalget EF-Tyrkiet fastsætter passende foranstaltninger med henblik på gennemførelsen af denne afgørelse. Artikel 5 Denne afgørelse træder i kraft den 1. januar 1999.

text: C 207/156 Euroopan yhteisöjen virallinen lehti FI 21. 7. 1999 Komission jäsenen Édith Cressonin komission puolesta antama vastaus (2. maaliskuuta 1999) Komissio on osana Sokrates-ohjelmaa ja hakijan oppaassa esitettyjen menettelyjen mukaisesti tukenut kansainvälisten yhteistyökumppanien konkreettisia projekteja. Näiden projektien yhteistyökumppaneita ovat DIECECiin (Developing intercultural education through cooperation between European cities) kuuluvat paikallis- ja alueviranomaiset. Lisäksi komissio on osallistunut tämän verkoston tukemiseen ja kehittämiseen. Komissio ilmoittaa arvoisalle parlamentin jäsenelle, että neuvoston vahvistamaan Sokrates-ohjelman toista vaihetta koskevaan yhteiseen kantaan (21. joulukuuta 1998) sisältyy toimi (Comenius, toimi 3), jolla tuetaan koulutuksen alalla toimivia eurooppalaisia verkostoja. Näin ollen yhteiseen kantaan sisältyvät menettelyt helpottavat rahoitustuen myöntämistä DIECEC-verkoston kaltaisille organisaatioille, sillä näillä menettelyillä kannustetaan paikallis- ja alueviranomaisten osallistumista toimintaan. (1999/C 207/216) KIRJALLINEN KYSYMYS E-4002/98 esittäjä(t): Caroline Jackson (PPE) komissiolle (5. tammikuuta 1999) Aihe: Pakettimatkadirektiivi Seuramatkojen järjestäjiä koskevat kuluttajien valitukset ovat lisääntymässä huolimatta pakettimatkadirektii- vistä 90/314/ETY (1). Erityistä huolestumista ovat aiheuttaneet pakettimatka-asiakkaiden kohtalo siinä tapauksessa, että matkanjärjestäjä tulee maksukyvyttömäksi sekä lisämaksujen määrääminen ilmoitettuihin hintoihin. Katsooko komissio, että direktiivi tarjoaa riittävän kuluttajansuojan, jos matkanjärjestäjästä tulee maksuky- vytön? Ovatko sopimusosapuolena oleva matkanjärjestäjä ja/tai jälleenmyyjä tällöin velvoitettuja tarjoamaan riittävät takeet siitä, että kuluttajan maksama hinta palautetaan pikaisesti ja kokonaisuudessaan? Miksi komissio on ollut valmis hyväksymään sen, että Iso-Britannia on pannut täytäntöön ilmoitettujen hintojen muuttamismahdollisuutta koskevan 4 artiklan sellaisessa muodossa, että se on direktiivin varsinaista tekstiä lievempi ja epätäsmällisempi? Onko komissio valmis tekemään tarkistuksia direktiiviin näiden ja muiden kommenttien valossa? (1) EYVL L 158, 23. 6. 1990, s. 59.

Aikooko komissio ehdottaa pakettimatkadirektiivin muuttamista, jotta kuluttajille voitaisiin antaa lisätietoja ennakkomaksujen turvaamisesta, jotta he voisivat muuttaa va- rauksiaan, jos heidän lomansa vaarantuvat ja jotta voitaisiin taata, että lomailijat tuodaan kotiin, jos yritys menee konkurssiin?

text: 6. 11. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 320/105 beneficial fisheries agreement is signed. Access to the Community market would then be improved in stages, according to an agreed calendar. In Vienna, the European Council invited the Council to bring the negotiations to a conclusion at the latest before the European Council of March 1999. (1999/C 320/140) WRITTEN QUESTION E-4003/98 by Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) to the Commission Subject: External debt and countries affected by hurricane Mitch (5 January 1999) Which EU countries have cancelled their share of the external debt of the Central American countries affected by hurricane Mitch? What attitude has been adopted by the world’s financial institutions (in particular IMF) as regards cancelling or relieving the debt of the countries concerned? Answer given by Mr Marín on behalf of the Commission (16 February 1999) From the onset, the international community responded rapidly, in material terms, to the needs generated by the impact of hurricane Mitch. Moreover, it indicated quickly its readiness to alleviate the debt situation of the countries hit by the hurricane. All members of the Paris Club that are creditor countries (this includes most Community Member States, with the exception of Greece, Ireland (1), Luxembourg and Portugal) agreed to place a three-year moratorium on the servicing of Nicaragua’s and Honduras’ bilateral public debt. Furthermore, although the Commission does not have full official information, a number of Community Member States (including Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Austria and the United Kingdom), as well as other donors such as Brazil and Cuba, have announced their intention to waive either repayment of the principal or to suspend debt service payments from the region. Terms and conditions vary as in some cases the waiving is partial and in other cases is in full. Whilst the waiving is permanent in some cases, in others it is temporary, that is, until the four countries have recovered from their current predicament and are in a better condition to face their international obligations. The international financial institutions (IFIs) most active in the region, namely the World Bank, the International monetary fund (IMF) and the Inter-American Development Bank, are cooperating to find ways of decreasing the debt burden. In particular, they have set up a trust fund with which to finance the service of these countries’ multilateral debt. Some Community Member States are contributing to this trust fund. Further, these IFIs have pledged to undertake with the governments of Honduras and Nicaragua a comprehensive assessment of their external debt situation and requirements for debt relief in the context of the debt initiative for heavily indebted countries (HIPC). Finally, these institutions are increasing and accelerating their financial support to these countries. (1) Ireland belongs to the Paris Club but is not a creditor country in this case. (1999/C 320/141) WRITTEN QUESTION E-4004/98 by Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) to the Commission (5 January 1999) Subject: Reconstruction plan for the countries affected by hurricane Mitch What stage has been reached in the drawing up of the EU’s proposal for responding to the needs of the countries affected by hurricane Mitch by means of an adequately funded general reconstruction plan?

text: C 325/46 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 12. 11. 1999 (1999/C 325/055) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3999/98 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (5 January 1999) Subject: Operation of Cedefop Since the end of 1995, Cedefop has been operating in Greece. An ancillary unit has also been operating in Brussels. Will the Commission say: 1. how many permanent officials work at the Centre in Thessaloniki and how many in the ancillary unit in Brussels, and 2. what the operating costs (pay, publications, maintenance of buildings etc. ) are for the Centre in Thessaloniki and for the ancillary unit? Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (8 March 1999) The Commission can inform the Honourable Member that the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) has had an information office in Brussels since 1991. This Brussels office is also an important contact point with all the Community institutions and the Centre’s partners at European level (e. g. social partners). The presence of an on-site expert allows the Centre to participate and be represented in a multitude of European-level activities. 1. The office in Brussels currently has three officials: one A5 (an expert responsible for representing the Centre and producing monographs on the vocational training systems of the Member States), one B1 and one C1. These three officials are rotated every three years and represent 3 % of the total staff (97) of the Centre (officials (27), temporary staff, auxiliaries, local staff and seconded national experts). 2. The annual cost of running the Brussels office is EUR 259 800. This breaks down as follows: salaries (EUR 246 800), premises, heating, electricity and water (EUR 3 000) and telephone, fax, etc. (EUR 10 000). The Centre’s total annual budget for 1998 is in the order of EUR 13,3 million. This breaks down as follows: (a) personnel costs (EUR 6,5 million), (b) administration of buildings, infrastructure, etc. (EUR 1,4 million) and (c) operational costs of documentation, dissemination, projects, etc. (EUR 5,4 million). (1999/C 325/056) WRITTEN QUESTION E-4005/98 by Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) to the Commission Subject: Investment in the city of Santander (Spain) (5 January 1999) What works, projects, initiatives, etc. , have been financed since 1994 (or are due to be financed up to the end of 1999) in the city of Santander = the capital of Cantabria (Spain) and an Objective 1 region = using money from the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund? Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (24 February 1999) The city of Santander receives assistance from the Structural Funds under two operational programmes for the region of Cantabria: the operational programme for Cantabria and the regional operational programme for Cantabria, and under a national programme, the local environment operational programme. It should be noted that the financial resources providing assistance under the Structural Funds are allocated at programme level and that the projects to be part-financed under them are selected by the authorities responsible for their implementation, apart from those of a certain size, which are dealt with on an individual basis. The Commission is therefore unable to give a precise answer to the questions asked

text: 6. 11. 1999 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunità europee C 320/105 Esiste pertanto una connessione fra l’accordo di cooperazione e il negoziato di un accordo sulla pesca. Non vi saranno condizioni migliori di accesso al mercato comunitario per i prodotti ittici sudafricani, a meno che non venga stipulato un accordo separato sulla pesca con vantaggi reciproci. L’accesso al mercato comunitario verrebbe allora migliorato gradualmente secondo un calendario concordato. Il Consiglio europeo di Vienna ha invitato il Consiglio dell’Unione a concludere i negoziati al più presto, prima del Consiglio europeo del marzo 1999. (1999/C 320/140) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-4003/98 di Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) alla Commissione Oggetto: Debito estero e paesi colpiti dall’uragano Mitch (5 gennaio 1999) Quali paesi dell’Unione europea hanno annullato il debito estero contratto a livello bilaterale dai paesi dell’America centrale colpiti dall’uragano Mitch? Quale atteggiamento hanno adottato le istituzioni finanziarie internazionali, in particolare l’FMI, per annullare o alleggerire il debito dei paesi colpiti? Risposta data dal sig. Marín in nome della Commissione (16 febbraio 1999) Sin dall’inizio, la comunità internazionale ha risposto tempestivamente, con aiuti concreti, alle esigenze determinate dai danni provocati dall’uragano Mitch. Essa ha inoltre manifestato immediatamente la propria disponibilità ad alleggerire il debito dei paesi colpiti dall’uragano. Tutti i membri del Club di Parigi che sono paesi creditori (tra di essi figura la maggior parte degli Stati membri della Comunità, ad eccezione di Grecia, Irlanda (1), Lussemburgo e Portogallo) hanno deciso di decretare una moratoria di tre anni sul servizio del debito pubblico bilaterale di Nicaragua e Honduras. Inoltre, sebbene la Commissione non disponga di informazioni ufficiali complete, numerosi Stati membri della Comunità (compresi Danimarca, Germania, Spagna, Francia, Paesi Bassi, Austria e Regno Unito), nonché altri donatori quali Brasile e Cuba, hanno annunciato la loro intenzione di rinunciare al rimborso del capitale o di sospendere i pagamenti del servizio del debito della regione. Le condizioni sono però variabili poiché in alcuni casi la rinuncia è parziale e in altri è integrale, talora è permanente e altre volte è temporanea, valida cioè fino a quando i quattro paesi avranno superato l’attuale momento critico e saranno in grado di rispettare i loro obblighi internazionali. Gli istituti finanziari internazionali (IFI) più attivi nella regione, vale a dire la Banca mondiale (BM), il Fondo monetario internazionale (FMI) e la Banca interamericana di sviluppo (BIS), stanno collaborando per individuare metodi per alleviare l’onere del debito. In particolare, essi hanno creato un fondo fiduciario attraverso il quale finanziare il servizio del debito multilaterale di questi paesi, al quale stanno contribuendo alcuni Stati membri della Comunità. Gli IFI si sono impegnati inoltre ad intraprendere con i governi di Honduras e Nicaragua una valutazione globale della loro situazione del debito esterno e a fissare condizioni per l’alleggerimento del debito nel contesto dell’iniziativa sul debito dei paesi gravemente indebitati (Heavily Indebted Poor Countries < HIPC). I suddetti IFI stanno inoltre provvedendo ad aumentare e accelerare il loro sostegno finanziario a questi paesi. (1) L’Irlanda fa parte del Club di Parigi ma in questo caso non è un paese creditore.

text: C 325/46 Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning SV 12. 11. 1999 (1999/C 325/055) SKRIFTLIG FRÅGA E-3999/98 från Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) till kommissionen Angående: Verksamheten vid Cedefop (5 januari 1999) Sedan 1995 ligger Cedefop i Grekland. Parallellt med verksamheten där verkar även en filial i Bryssel. Kommissionen tillfrågas: 1. Hur många fast anställda tjänstemän arbetar vid centrumet i Thessaloniki och hur många vid filialen i Bryssel? 2. Hur stor är kostnaden för verksamheten (löner, publikationer, underhåll av byggnader, etc. ) dels vid centrumet i Thessaloniki, dels vid filialen? Svar från Édith Cresson på kommissionens vägnar (8 mars 1999) Kommissionen vill informera parlamentsledamoten om att Europeiskt centrum för utveckling av yrkesut- bildning (Cedefop)sedan 1991 har ett informationskontor i Bryssel. Detta kontor utgör dessutom en viktig förbindelselänk med alla gemenskapsinstitutioner och centrumets partner på europeisk nivå (t. ex. arbets- marknadens parter). Med en expert på plats blir det möjligt att på lämpligt sätt representera centrumet inom en lång rad verksamhetsområden på europeisk nivå. Det blir även möjligt att delta i olika slags verksamhet. Kontoret i Bryssel sysselsätter för närvarande tre tjänstemän, dvs. en A5 (expert som har hand om 1. representationen av centrumet och monografier om systemen för yrkesutbildning i medlemsstaterna), en B1 och en C1. De roterar vart tredje år. De tre personerna utgör 3 % av det totala antalet anställda (97) vid centrumet (tjänstemän (27), tillfälligt anställda, hjälppersonal, lokalanställda och utsända nationella experter). 2. De årliga driftkostnaderna för kontoret i Bryssel uppgår till 259 800 euro (fördelat på löner (246 800 euro), lokaler, värme, elektricitet och vatten (3 000 euro) och telefon, fax, etc. (10 000 euro). Centrumets totala årliga budget för 1998 uppgår till 13,3 miljoner euro (fördelat på a) personalkostnader (6,5 miljoner euro), b) administrativa kostnader för byggnader, infrastruktur etc. (1,4 miljoner euro) och c) driftkostnader för dokumentation, spridning, projekt etc. (5,4 miljoner euro). (1999/C 325/056) SKRIFTLIG FRÅGA E-4005/98 från Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) till kommissionen Angående: Investeringar i staden Santander i Spanien (5 januari 1999) Vilka offentliga arbeten, projekt, initiativ mm. , har finansierats sedan 1994 eller kommer att finansieras före utgången av 1999 med anslag från strukturfonderna och Sammanhållningsfonden i staden Santander, som är huvudstad i den spanska regionen Kantabrien som omfattas av mål 1? Svar från Monika Wulf-Mathies på kommissionens vägnar (24 februari 1999) Staden Santander mottar stöd från strukturfonderna, dels för två operativa program i regionen Kantabrien: ”Programa operativo de Cantabria” och ”Programa operativa regional de Cantabria” och dels för ett program med nationell omfattning, ”Programa operativo de medio ambiente local”. Det bör påpekas att de ekonomiska medlen från strukturfonderna fördelas till programmen och att de projekt som skall delfinansieras inom ramen för dessa program väljs ut av de myndigheter som ansvarar för programmens genomförande, utom de som har en viss omfattning och som är särpräglade. Kommissionen kan därför inte med exakthet svara på de frågor som ställs

text: C 341/26 Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias PT 29. 11. 1999 (1999/C 341/040) PERGUNTA ESCRITA E-4007/98 apresentada por Frank Vanhecke (NI) à Comissão (5 de Janeiro de 1999) Objecto: Não cobrança de direitos aduaneiros no porto de Antuérpia Nos serviços aduaneiros do porto de aduaneiro regista-se, num quadro de pessoal em que estão previstos 1. 600 funcionários, uma carência de pessoal da ordem dos 400 funcionários aduaneiros, o que está na origem de inúmeras perdas, nomeadamente no que se refere a direitos europeus de importação. Esta situação perdura já há muitos anos. A Comissão Europeia tem conhecimento desta situação? Existe uma estimativa do montante de direitos aduaneiros não cobrados? Resposta de M. Monti em nome da Comissão (11 de Março de 1999) Os direitos aduaneiros, que constituem os recursos próprios afectados ao orçamento das comunidades, são colectados pelos Estados-membros de acordo com as disposições legislativas, regulamentares e administrativas nacionais, adaptadas, se necessário, às exigências da regulamentação comunitária. Para tal, os Estados- -membros retêm, a título de direito de dedução, 10 % dos montantes a pagar como direitos aduaneiros. Assim, compete a cada Estado-membro organizar os seus próprios serviços aduaneiros e prever o pessoal efectivo necessário para poder cobrar de forma eficaz estes recursos próprios. Além disso, os Estados-membros devem proceder às verificações e investigações sobre o funcionamento do sistema de cobrança no seu território. Por seu lado, a Comissão, enquanto gestor orçamental das receitas, realiza acções de controlo, inclusivamente acções de verificação no próprio local, que vêm juntar-se às acções efectuadas pelos Estados- -membros. A Comissão não dispõe de informações que lhe permitam concluir que a cobrança dos recursos próprios foi posta em causa devido à falta de pessoal aduaneiro no porto de Antuérpia. Contudo, se o senhor deputado dispuser de elementos que possam clarificar as dúvidas na matéria, é convidado a comunicá-los à Comissão, que procederá às investigações que se revelem necessárias. (1999/C 341/041) PERGUNTA ESCRITA E-4021/98 apresentada por Johanna Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR) à Comissão (8 de Janeiro de 1999) Objecto: Aquisições isentas de impostos para membros da Comissão Europeia e funcionários das instituições comunitárias Os membros da Comissão Europeia e os funcionários das instituições comunitárias beneficiam, ainda que sobre bases jurídicas e mediante condições distintas, de determinadas vantagens e privilégios em matéria de fiscalidade indirecta. 1. Poderá a Comissão fornecer uma descrição geral das vantagens e privilégios, em matéria de fiscalidade indirecta, de que beneficiam, por um lado, os membros da Comissão e, por outro lado, os funcionários das instituições comunitárias? 2. Em que medida entende a Comissão que a decisão do Conselho de Ministros, de abolir as vendas com isenção de impostos no interior da União Europeia a partir de 1 de Julho de 1999, fornece ensejo para que sejam alteradas as isenções de que beneficiam os membros da Comissão Europeia, embora as mesmas se baseiem em tratados internacionais e não no direito comunitário, designadamente através de um código de conduta? 3. Não seria preferível substituir pelo pagamento de um montante fixo o regime de reembolso de despesas de mudança de residência e o subsídio de instalação de que beneficiam durante um ano, dentro dos dois primeiros anos de serviço, os funcionários das instituições comunitárias? 4. Perante o avanço da integração europeia e a perda de relevância da origem dos privilégios dos funcionários comunitários, que remonta ao intercâmbio de diplomatas e militares entre os Estados-membros, em que medida continuará a ser necessário atribuir estatuto diplomático, no interior da União Europeia, a trabalhadores que são destacados de um Estado-membro para outro?

title: WRITTEN QUESTION No. 4007/98 by Frank VANHECKE Lost customs duties in the port of Antwerp

text: C 341/26 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 29. 11. 1999 (1999/C 341/040) WRITTEN QUESTION E-4007/98 by Frank Vanhecke (NI) to the Commission (5 January 1999) Subject: Lost customs duties in the port of Antwerp The customs service in the port of Antwerp is 400 officials short of its intended complement of 1 600. This results in many dues, especially European import duties, not being collected, a situation which has now persisted for several years. Is the Commission aware of this situation? Is there an estimate of the amount of customs duties that has been lost? Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (11 March 1999) Customs duties, which are assigned as own resources to the Community budget, are collected by Member States in accordance with national law, adapted if necessary to conform with Community rules. The Member States retain 10 % to cover the cost of collection. It is therefore up to the Member States themselves to organise their customs departments in such a way that they can carry out this task properly, and to ensure that they are adequately staffed. Member States are also required to inspect and monitor the way the system is working. The Commission, as the body responsible for revenue, also audits own resources, which includes carrying out independent inspections in the Member States. The Commission has no reason to think that staff shortages in the Port of Antwerp Customs are adversely affecting the collection of own resources, but would ask the Honourable Member to pass on any evidence of such a situation. It will then undertake any investigations that might prove necessary. (1999/C 341/041) WRITTEN QUESTION E-4021/98 by Johanna Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR) to the Commission (8 January 1999) Subject: Tax-free purchases by members of the Commission and officials of the Community Institutions Members of the Commission and officials of the Community Institutions are entitled albeit pursuant to different legal bases and subject to different conditions, to a number of privileges, in respect of indirect taxation. Can the Commission provide an overview of the privileges in respect of indirect taxation enjoyed by the 1. members of the Commission, on the one hand, and officials of the Community institutions, on the other? 2. To what extent does the Commission regard the Council decision to abolish duty-free sales within the European Union with effect from 1 July 1999 as grounds for changing the derogations applying to members of the Commission 5 even though such derogations are based on international conventions rather than Community law 5 for example, through a code of conduct? 3. Would it not be better to replace the allowance for removal expenses and for the purchase of furniture and fittings, to which officials of the community institutions are entitled in their first two years of service, with a flat-rate sum? 4. As European integration proceeds and the original idea of privileges for Community officials and exchanges of diplomatic staff and military personnel between the Member States diminishes in importance, to what extent is there still a need to grant diplomatic status within the European Union to employees posted from one Member State to another?
