text: C 325/94 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 12. 11. 1999 (1999/C 325/124) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0232/99 by Ana Miranda de Lage (PSE) to the Commission (12 February 1999) Subject: Increase in tariffs on European exports to the United States The trade dispute between the European Union and the United States over the banana market is generating a wave of trade reprisals targeted at European production sectors which have nothing to do with the dispute in question. For instance, the market share of the Spanish biscuit sector is being severely threatened by the 100 % tariff increase introduced. What will the Commission do to protect this European sector from arbitrary reprisals of this kind? Will the Commission give details of the total number of products affected, the estimated volume of exports, the loss of market share and the countries which may stand to benefit from measures taken against European products? Joint answer to Written Questions E-0231/99 and E-0232/99 given by Sir Leon Brittan on behalf of the Commission (11 March 1999) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to the statement it gave in Parliament’s plenary meeting on 9 March 1999 on the commercial dispute between the European Union and the United States of America concerning bananas. (1999/C 325/125) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0233/99 by Antonio Tajani (PPE) to the Commission (12 February 1999) Subject: Possibility of a new Eurotax in Italy Is the Commission aware that the Italian Chief Government Accountant, Andrea Monorchio, has stated that, in order to balance the national budget by 2002, as required by the Stability Pact, Italy will need to take measures costing approximately ITL 60 000 billion and will be required to increase taxes? Does it consider that an increase in taxes and the possible introduction of a new Eurotax will be damaging to the Italian economy? Has the Italian Government ever discussed with the Commission the possible introduction of a second Eurotax? Did the suggestions made by the Commission to the Italian Government as to how to ensure compliance with the Stability Pact include that of increasing taxation? What would be the consequences for Italy of the d’Alema government failing to balance the national budget? Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission (29 March 1999) The Commission assessed the Italian fiscal position on the occasion of the presentation of the Italian stability programme 1999-2001, which was approved by the Ecofin Council on 8 February 1999. The stability programme indicates that the corrective measures required in 1999, 2000 and 2001 amount to 0,4 %, 0,2 % and 0,1 % of gross domestic product (GDP) respectively. If additional interventions are necessary, the Italian government has committed itself to ‘take such measures, if needed’. The budgetary targets for 2002 will be announced in May, when the ‘Documento di programmazione economica e finanziaria’ for 2000-2002 will be presented to the Parliament

text: C 325/110 Euroopan yhteisöjen virallinen lehti FI 12. 11. 1999 (1999/C 325/151) KIRJALLINEN KYSYMYS P-0354/99 esittäjä(t): Marco Formentini (NI) komissiolle (12. helmikuuta 1999) Aihe: Sääntöjenvastaisuudet rakennerahastojen tavoitteisiin liittyen maksettavien tukien myöntämisessä Liguriassa Chiavarin (Genova) kunta pyysi 30. maaliskuuta 1998 Ligurian aluehallintoa myöntämään tavoitteeseen 2 liittyen tukea uudelleenkoulutushankkeelle, joka koski kaupungin vanhan keskustan kaupunkisuunnittelua, matkailua sekä kauppaa. Hakemus jätettiin menettelyä koskevissa säännöissä edellytetyssä määräajassa. Täytäntöönpanoasetuksella nro 321 hyväksyttiin 4. syyskuuta 1998 luettelo esitetyistä ehdotuksista ja vastaava rahoitus. Hyväksyttyjen ehdotusten joukossa olivat Genovan, Cairo Montenotten ja Sarzanan kuntien ehdotukset, vaikka niillä ei ollut tukenaan ”riittäviä hankkeeseen liittyviä ominaispiirteitä”, kuten edellä mainitussa asetuksessa todettiin. Sen sijaan Chiavarin kunnan ehdotusta ei pidetty tukikelpoisena, vaikka hakemus täytti sekä muodolliset että hanketta koskevat edellytykset. Chiavarin kunta on jättänyt asian johdosta valituksen oikeusviranomaisille. Tutkinta on parhaillaan käynnissä. Eikö komissio pidä tärkeänä tarkistaa, onko Ligurian aluehallinto soveltanut objektiivisuuden, oikeudenmu- kaisuuden ja avoimuuden vastaisia ja syrjiviä perusteita Euroopan yhteisön varojen halinnoinnissa, ja aloittaa tutkimusta asiasta? Komission jäsenen Monika Wulf-Mathiesin komission puolesta antama vastaus (15. maaliskuuta 1999) Arvoisan parlamentin jäsenen kysymys kuuluu toissijaisuusperiaatteen mukaisesti pääasiassa Italian viran- omaisille. Toimenpidekokonaisuuteen 3. 5, ”Infrastruktuurit kaupunkikeskustojen elävöittämiseksi”, liittyvästä hanke- ehdotuspyynnöstä Ligurian alueelta saaduista tiedoista käy ilmi, että sovelluksia arvioitiin pisteytysjärjestel- mällä, jossa pääkriteereitä olivat ehdotetun infrastruktuurin vaikutukset ympäristöön ja paikalliseen matkai- luun, olemassa olevan infrastruktuurin parantaminen ja uudistaminen sekä työpaikkojen luominen. Chiavarin kunnan hanketta ei hylätty, vaan sille annettiin alhaisemmat pisteet kuin parlamentin jäsenen mainitsemien kuntien hankkeille. Toimenpidekokonaisuuden 3. 5 osana rahoitettaviin sovelluksiin on tällä hetkellä käytetty kaikki käytettävissä olevat varat. Tähän toimenpidekokonaisuuteen on kuitenkin tulossa lisää varoja tavoite 2-ohjelman tarkis- tuksesta, joka on parhaillaan komission hyväksyttävänä. Chiavarin hanke on ensimmäisenä jonossa jo rahoitettavien hankkeiden perässä, ja sillä on siis hyvät mahdollisuudet päästä hyötymään näistä lisävaroista. Komission käytössä olevien tietojen perusteella tutkimusten aloittaminen asiasta ei ole tarpeen. (1999/C 325/152) KIRJALLINEN KYSYMYS P-0355/99 esittäjä(t): Giacomo Leopardi (PPE) komissiolle (12. helmikuuta 1999) Aihe: Hammaslääketieteen koulutusohjelmissa opiskelevien opiskelijoiden liian suuri määrä Italiassa Italian yliopistoissa hammaslääketieteen koulutusohjelmiin on nyt kolmen vuoden ajan kirjoittautunut liikaa opiskelijoita, jotka eivät ole läpäisseet alkuopintojen jälkeen suoritettavaa karsintaa. He ovat tehneet asiasta valituksen ja saaneet väliaikaisen opiskeluluvan alueelliselta hallintotuomioistuimelta, joka lykkäsi lopullisen päätöksen tekoa, kunnes asiasta annettaisiin tuomio. Tutkintojen vastavuoroisesta tunnustamisesta annettujen direktiivien 78/686/ETY (1) ja 78/687/ETY (2) noudattamiseksi annetulla presidentin asetuksella nro 135 (1980) perustettiin Italiaan hammaslääketieteen ja asetuksessa säädettiin muun muassa koulutusohjelmaan otettavien opiskelijoiden koulutusohjelma,

text: 12. 11. 1999 ES Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas C 325/89 Por lo que respecta a la financiación, las actividades subvencionables realizadas por Grecia son financiables al 100 %, como sucede siempre para los Estados miembros. La financiación corre a cargo de los productores, mediante una deducción a tanto alzado de las ayudas percibidas. A estas fechas, se han comunicado para 1998 unos gastos de 6 millones (principalmente asignados a la producción de material cartográfico) que serán sometidos a un procedimiento de liquidación. La parcial inejecución de las actividades parece derivarse esencialmente de la falta de prioridad dada a este expediente por el Ministerio de Agricultura griego. La administración tiene que hacer frente a la lentitud de los procedimientos de publicación y de adjudicación de las licitaciones y carece casi por completo del personal especializado necesario para la ejecución de las especificaciones técnicas. Dadas esas circunstancias, es probable que Grecia siga sometida, en el procedimiento de liquidación de cuentas, a correcciones financieras sobre la ayuda a la producción; de acuerdo con la nueva normativa, deberá lograr un fuerte aumento de sus índices de control sobre el terreno en relación con las solicitudes de ayuda y las declaraciones de cultivo.

Las prefecturas de Larisa y Magnesia piden con insistencia que prosigan las obras previstas de reacondicionamiento del lago Karla, para las que se considera indispensable una contribución financiera de la Unión Europea. ¿Puede indicar la Comisión si estas obras se incluirán en el 2o MCA y en qué fecha, y, en su opinión, qué otras medidas cabe tomar sabiendo que se trata de un proyecto vital para esta región en su conjunto? (1999/C 325/117) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-0398/99 de Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) a la Comisión (1 de marzo de 1999) Asunto: Rehabilitación del lago de Karla El drenaje del lago de Karla, en Tesalia, en 1963, confirmó la opinión de que la naturaleza castiga cuando las intervenciones humanas no tienen en cuenta el conjunto de las repercusiones sobre el medio ambiente, puesto que dicho drenaje produjo enormes problemas, como cambios en el clima de la zona, rápida disminución del nivel de agua en los acuíferos subterráneos, aparición de barrancos en la zona y graves daños en el golfo de Volos. Para hacer frente a todos estos problemas y para reconstruir el equilibrio medioambiental en la zona, las autoridades regionales (nomos de Lárisa y Magnesia) decidieron, con la aprobación social universal, iniciar los trabajos para rehabilitar el lago de Karla. Teniendo en cuenta que Grecia presentó una propuesta a la Comisión sobre las obras para la rehabilitación del lago de Karla en el segundo MCA, se pregunta a la Comisión si contempla cofinanciar estos trabajos e incluirlos de inmediato en el actual MCA

text: C 341/70 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunità europee IT 29. 11. 1999 (1999/C 341/096) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-0235/99 di Antonio Tajani (PPE) alla Commissione (12 febbraio 1999) Oggetto: Appalti aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci (cid:25) Roma La Società AEROPORTI DI ROMA in data 21. 9. 1998 ha affidato l’espletamento dei servizi di pulizia e piccola manutenzione dell’AEROPORTO LEONARDO DA VINCI (cid:25) FIUMICINO (cid:25) suddivisi in tre lotti distinti alle seguenti Società: (cid:25) LINDA srl, (cid:25) SNAM LAZIO SUD srl, (cid:25) BONA DEA srl. , Data l’importanza che riveste l’AEROPORTO Leonardo da Vinci come scalo internazionale, può la Commissione dire, se siano state rispettate le normative europee in materia di concorrenza e di appalti? Risposta complementare data dal sig. Monti a nome della Commissione (27 aprile 1999) In via preliminare, la Commissione precisa che non è stato segnalato alcun reclamo in merito ai fatti denunciati dall’onorevole parlamentare. Tuttavia essa prenderà contatto con le autorità italiane per verificare se in materia di pubblici appalti sia stata rispettata la normativa comunitaria in sede di aggiudicazione alle imprese indicate dei servizi di pulizia e piccola manutenzione dell’aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci (1999/C 341/097) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-0242/99 di Ulf Holm (V) alla Commissione (12 febbraio 1999) Oggetto: Inaffidabilità per i consumatori del marchio CE Il marchio CE viene apposto, tra l’altro, su giocattoli, caschi e apparecchiature elettroniche e vale attestazione da parte del fabbricante che il prodotto soddisfa i requisiti comuni di sicurezza dell’UE. Tuttavia, il controllo volto ad accertare che il prodotto sia conforme a tali requisiti di sicurezza non è condotto nelle fabbriche, bensì da ispettori nei negozi ove le merci sono messe in vendita. Esperti dell’Istituto nazionale svedese per la protezione dei consumatori hanno stimato che il 30 % circa dei giocattoli venduti con il marchio CE portano marchi inesatti. Si tratta dunque d’una frode diffusa e che induce i consumatori in un falso senso di sicurezza. Può la Commissione indicare quali misure intende adottare per far sì che il sistema della marcatura CE comporti un’effettiva sicurezza per i consumatori? Risposta data dal sig. Bangemann in nome della Commissione (25 marzo 1999) I prodotti che rientrano nel campo d’applicazione delle direttive di armonizzazione tecnica elaborate in base al nuovo approccio e all’approccio globale (risoluzione del Consiglio, del 7 maggio 1985, relativa ad una nuova strategia in materia di armonizzazione tecnica e normalizzazione (1)), tra cui i giocattoli e gli apparecchi elettrodomestici, possono essere immessi sul mercato solo se sono conformi ai requisiti essenziali, in particolare di sicurezza, delle direttive pertinenti. La valutazione della conformità dei prodotti del cosiddetto «nuovo approccio» è compito del fabbricante o dell’importatore conformemente alle procedure previste dalla direttiva, che possono comprendere l’assistenza di organismi notificati (terzi indipendenti). L’apposizione della marcatura «CE» è una conferma che la procedura è conclusa

text: C 348/44 Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning SV 3. 12. 1999 (1999/C 348/053) SKRIFTLIG FRÅGA E-0248/99 från Paul Rübig (PPE) till kommissionen (12 februari 1999) Angående: Vägsträckan Welser Westspange Genom nord-syd-förbindelsen eftersträvar vi ett integrerat vägnät från Nordsjön till Grekland. Sträckan Hamburg-Belgrad, som uppgår till 1 600 km, är med undantag för två sträckor i Österrike genomgående utbyggd. Av denna anledning skall Welser Westspange förbinda A8-Innkreisautobahn med A9-Phyrnauto- bahn vid staden Wels. För närvarande måste den långväga trafiken tillryggalägga en avsevärd omväg eller ta vägen över Welser Osttangente, vilken eftersom den är delstatsväg leder genom bebyggt område. I och med Welser Westspange kommer trafiksäkerheten att höjas enormt: Antalet körda kilometer reduceras med cirka 100 miljoner km per år, körtiderna med cirka 900 000 timmar. Den uppskattade samhälls- ekonomiska vinsten uppgår till nästan en halv miljard schilling. Miljöpåverkan minskas varaktigt. Driv- medelsförbrukningen per 5 000 fordon kommer att minska med cirka 10 000 ton årligen. Vägsträckan Welser Westspange befinner sig fortfarande i projekteringsfasen. Hur avser kommissionen att stödja och påskynda dess förverkligande? Svar från Neil Kinnock på kommissionens vägnar (13 april 1999) Vägprojektet ”Westspange Wels” fastställdes som ett projekt av gemensamt intresse i Europaparlamentets och rådets beslut nr 1692/96/EG av den 23 juli 1996 om gemenskapens riktlinjer för utbyggnad av det transeuropeiska transportnätet (1). Dessa riktlinjer utgör en allmän referensram som skall uppmuntra berörda medlemsstater att utföra de projekt av gemensamt intresse som de definierat. Österrikes regering ansvarar för beslutet om att genomföra det aktuella vägprojektet och frågan om dess finansiering. I enlighet med rådets förordning (EG) 2236/95 av den 18 september 1995 om allmänna regler för gemenskapens finansiella stöd på området för transeuropeiska nät (2), kan gemenskapen stödja detta projekt under förutsättning att vissa villkor och kriterier är uppfyllda. Ansökan om finansiellt stöd i enlighet med denna förordning skall lämnas in av den berörda medlemsstaten. De kriterier som ligger till grund för hur urvalet sker av de åtgärder som skall få finansiellt stöd från gemenskapen är bland annat i vilken fas projektet befinner sig, hur solid finansieringen är samt miljökonsekvenser. Den österrikiska regeringen har ännu inte ansökt om finansiellt stöd från gemenskapen för projektet ”Westspange Wels”. Projektet har inte varit aktuellt för strukturfondsprogrammen i Österrike eftersom det berörda området inte är stödberättigat. (1) (2) EGT L 228, 9. 9. 1996. EGT L 228, 23. 9. 1995.

In this model, IEs are organised into data groups which contain data (attributes). The data (attributes) are grouped together in such a way that they build up coherent logical blocks within the scope of each IE. The model allows to identify: — the characteristics of the data groups belonging to the IE: sequence, number of repetitions, a status value to indicate if the data group is mandatory, optional or conditional, — the characteristics of the data belonging to a data group: sequence, number of repetitions, type, length and a value to indicate if the data is mandatory, optional or conditional, — data group indentation indicates that the data group may contain not only data but also other groups of data, — the conditions applicable to data or groups of data towards other data or groups of data in the same IE, — the structure rules applicable to data or groups of data, explaining how the data or data group in question is used in the IE. Structure of the IE (information exchange) (cid:113)A IE15.

The data group “TRADER consignee (ex box 8)” on GOODS ITEM level cannot be used The IE model is divided into five parts: Explanation (cid:113)A (cid:113)B The identification part, each IE is identified by: — a unique number that consists of the two characters “IE” followed by a maximum of 3 digits (cid:113)a , (cid:113)b , — a name — a unique reference (cid:113)c in a one to one relationship with the unique number of the IE; each IE is prefixed with “E_” (external domain), “C_” (common domain) or “N_” (internal). The structure part provides the following: — the sequence of the data groups in the IE, (cid:113)a , — a data group name — a number followed by the character “x” repeated in the IE, (cid:113)b indicating how many times the data group may be — a value (cid:113)c indicating whether the data group is (R)equired, (O)ptional or (C)onditional, — when relevant, a “box number” (cid:113)d representing the number of the box on the SAD, L 65/8 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 3. 1999 — reference to the condition and/or rule (cid:113)e applicable to the data, — data group indentation (cid:113)f indicates that the data group depends on lower indent data group. (cid:113)C The “data group” detail part provides for each data (attribute) the following: — the sequence of the data within the data group, — a data group name — the attribute name (cid:113)a , the same as in the structure part, (cid:113)b within the data group, — a value (cid:113)c indicating whether the data is (R)equired, (O)ptional or (C)onditional, — the data type — the data length (cid:113)d : (a)lphabetic and/or (n)umeric, (cid:113)e (the optional two dots before the length indicator mean that the data has no fixed length, but it can have up to a number of digits, as specified by the length indicator); it must be noted that the data type/data length of fields representing a date is always “n8” in order to be year 2000 compliant (e. g. 19980220); also, a comma in the data length (e. g. 8,6) means that the attribute can hold decimals, the digit before the comma indicates the total length of the attribute, the digit after the comma indicates the maximum number of digits after the decimal point, — when relevant, a “box number” representing the number of the box on the SAD, (cid:113)g to the condition “Cond” and/or to the “Rule” applicable to the data. — a reference (cid:113)f (cid:113)D (cid:113)E r5: r7: r10: r11: The “Condition” part: Lists all conditions applicable to the data or data group towards other data or data group included in the IE. A condition expresses the dependency of an attribute or data group on the content of another attribute or data group within the same IE. The attribute or data group in question can, due to the condition, be rendered (R)equired, (O)ptional or even “not be used” within the IE. The “Rule” part: Lists all rules applicable to the data or data group, explaining how the data or how the data group in question is used in the IE. TITLE II Rules for IE (information exchange) “Item No” (box 32) is always used even if “Items” (box 5) = “1”, “Item No” (box 32) is also “1”. Each “Item No” (box 32) is unique throughout the declaration. When there is only 1 consignor declared, the data group “TRADER consignor (box 2)” on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The data group “TRADER consignor (ex box 2)” on GOODS ITEM level can/not be used. When there is only 1 consignee declared, the data group “TRADER consignee (box 8)” on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The data group “TRADER consignee (ex box 8)” on GOODS ITEM level cannot be used. 12. 3. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 65/9 r15: r20: r26: r27: The data group “TRADER authorised consignee (box 53)” can be used to indicate that simplified procedure will be used at destination. When the declaration type (box 1 or ex box 1) = “T2” and the movement is issued in a non-EC country (identified by the office of departure), the principal must declare at least one “Previous document type” (box 40) = “T2”, “T2L”, “T2F”, “T2LF”, “T2CIM”, “T2TIR” or “T2ATA” followed by its reference in “Previous document reference”. One of the attributes becomes required in case “PRODUCED. DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES” (box 44) is used. Either “Additional information identification” or “Text” of the data group “SPECIAL MENTIONS” (box 44) is required in case “SPECIAL MENTIONS” is used. r35: Conditions “C5” and “C6” cannot be checked in case box 26 is not used. r36: Condition “C10” cannot be checked in case box 25 is not used. r41: r60: “Agreed location of goods”/“Agreed location code”, “Authorised location of goods” and “Customs subplace” (box 30) cannot be used at the same time. When the trader uses commodity codes then he must declare at least four and up to eight digits of the commodity code. r75: “Export from EC” and “Export from country” cannot be used at the same time. r79: r80: r95: PREVIOUS Only DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES that are marked as “Common” “DOCUMENT TYPE” will be sent to destination by means of the IE01. ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS and PRODUCED in the reference data Only the SPECIAL MENTIONS that are marked as “Common” in the reference data will be sent to destination by means of the IE01. When box 3 is not used and there is more than one good item declared then “Number of loading lists” (box 4) is required. This attribute is to be used when paper loading lists are present. In case of paper loading lists the following rules are applied: — the required attribute “Country of dispatch” (box 15a) of the data group TRANSIT OPERATION is set to “--”, — there is only 1 occurrence of the data group GOODS ITEM, and where necessary the subdata PRODUCED DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES and SPECIAL MENTIONS. All the other subdata groups of GOODS ITEM cannot be used, PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE REFERENCES, groups — the attribute “Textual description” (box 31) contains references to the attached loading lists, “Textual_description_LNG” contains the language code used for those references. The content of the references can be: for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T1”:“See loading list(s)”, for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T2”:“See loading list(s)”, for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T-”:“T1: See loading list(s) from. to. ”, “T2: See loading list(s) from. to. ”, — the attribute “Item number” (box 32) is filled in with “--”, — all the other attributes of the data group GOODS ITEM cannot be used. L 65/10 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 3. 1999 r100: r105: r143: r150: The attribute is used as the basic language to be used in any further communication between the trader at departure and the customs system. If the trader does not use this attribute then the customs system will use the default language of the office of departure. The total number of packages is equal to the sum of all “Number of packages” + all “Number of pieces” + a value of “1” for each declared “bulk”. This control is not possible when “Number of loading lists” (box 4) is used. The data in the IE corresponds always to the current (latest) version of the TRANSIT operation data. This means that it contains the amended declaration data (if any) and/or the revised declaration data after a control (if any) and completed with the departure control results. The attribute “Corrected value” of the data group “RESULTS OF CONTROL” is linked with each single attribute that can be subject of a control and therefore it must reflect the same characteristics of the original message attribute. r155: The data group SGI CODES must be present in case the declaration contains sensitive goods. r156: A “Sensitive quantity” is always required when the movement contains sensitive goods (see also rule 155). The “Sensitive goods code” is not always required when the movement contains sensitive goods. If the HS6 commodity code (box 33) is enough to uniquely identify a sensitive good then the “Sensitive goods code” is not required. If the HS6 commodity code (box 33) is not enough to uniquely identify a sensitive good then the “Sensitive goods code” becomes required. r160: The data group CONTROL RESULTS must be present in case the declaration is submitted under simplified procedure. r165: The data group SEALS INFO must be present in case the declaration is submitted under simplified procedure, the authorisation of which foresees the use of seals. r190: Either “New transport means identity” and “New transport means nationality” or “New container number”, or both must be used when “TRANSHIPMENT” occurred. r210: r217: The IE transmits to the office of departure the relevant AAR information received from the office of departure associating to each single attribute, when the case occurs, the data group “RESULTS OF CONTROL”. All “Incidents” occurred are transmitted to the office of departure. Only those “Transhipments” marked “not yet sent” (i. e. flag “Already in the system” in a message of arrival notification or a new box created for this purpose on the TRANSIT ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENT) are transmitted to the office of departure. r230: This attribute is used as a flag, its value can be either “0” (“no”) or “1” (“yes”). r231: The value of this attribute must be one of the 22 countries for transit without the 15 countries of the EC. r325: When there are already seals identified in the AAR and/or arrival notification then “State of seals” is required. r355: Only “GOODS ITEMS” showing discrepancies are sent back to the office of departure. r470: The IE15 allows the usage of commodity codes up to eight digits (national), however only the first six digits are sent to destination with the AAR (international). r700: This information is not required when goods of different type covered by the same declaration are packed together in such a way that it is impossible to determine the gross mass of each type of goods. 12. 3. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 65/11 TITLE III Conditions for IE (information exchange) C1: If “Country of destination” (box 17a) on transit operation level contains a “country” as defined in the Convention on a common transit procedure then else TRADER consignee (box 8) = “R” TRADER consignee (box 8) = “O”.

text: 12. 11. 1999 FI Euroopan yhteisöjen virallinen lehti C 325/85 Hankkeessa tuetaan kokonaisvaltaisia kokeilutoimia, joilla pyritään uudistamaan toiminnan yhteensovitta- mista, politiikkojen luomista ja julkisen alan sääntely- ja palvelutehtäviä, muuttamaan alueen hyödyntämista- poja ympäristön kannalta kestävämmiksi, tukemaan vaihtoehtoista meriviljelyyn perustuvaa tuotantoa ja merellistä ekomatkailua sekä edistämään tuottajien ja paikallisyhteisöjen vastuullista osallistumista alueiden suunnitteluun ja hoitoon. Thaimaan hallitus toimii täysin yhteistyössä hankkeen käynnistämiseksi. (1999/C 325/110) KIRJALLINEN KYSYMYS E-0203/99 esittäjä(t): Mark Killilea (UPE) komissiolle (12. helmikuuta 1999) Aihe: Hylkeet Huhtikuussa 1997 Irlannin merikalastuslautakunta Bord Iascaigh Mhara antoi PO XIV:lle selvityksen harmaahylkeiden ja kalastusvälineiden fyysisestä vuorovaikutuksesta. Selvitys oli laadittu komission talou- dellisen tuen turvin. Voiko komissio ilmoittaa, onko se esittänyt tämän selvityksen jäsenvaltioiden kalastusjärjestöille tai kalastus- ministeriöille? Komission jäsenen Emma Boninon komission puolesta antama vastaus (9. maaliskuuta 1999) Komissio rahoittaa lukuisia tutkimushankkeita, joten sen on vaikea levittää tai jakaa näistä hankkeista tehtyjä kertomuksia. Niistä saa kuitenkin kopioita pyytämällä komissiosta. Komissio katsoo, että tutkimushankkeiden tuloksia olisi levitettävä mahdollisimman laajalti. Tämän vuoksi komission rahoittamista tutkimushankkeista on tiivistelmät Internetissä. Lisäksi komissio rahoittaa tutkimushankkeita 5 joihin myös Irlannin merikalastuslautakunnan tutkimushanke kuuluu 5 muun muassa sillä edellytyksellä, että rahoituksen saaja pyrkii levittämään hankkeen tuloksia mahdollisimman laajalti tieteellisissä julkaisuissa tai muissa soveltuvissa välineissä. Lisätietoa tästä Irlannin merikalastuslautakunnan laatimasta kertomuksesta arvoisa parlamentin jäsen löytää vastauksesta, jonka komissio antoi parlamentin jäsenen suulliseen kysymykseen H-72/99 Euroopan parlamentin helmikuun 1999 istunnossa (1).

Vaikuttaa siltä, ettei hankkeeseen sisälly minkäänlaista tutkimusta pohjaveden tilasta tai siitä, millä tavoin vanhan kaatopaikan jätevedet ovat saastuttaneet sitä. Jätteiden alle jäävän maaperän vedenpitävyyteen ei myöskään puututa, vaikka kaatopaikka-alueella on alueen karttojen mukaan vedenhallintaan liittyviä ongelmia sekä maanvyöryvaara

text: C 348/44 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 3. 12. 1999 (1999/C 348/053) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0248/99 by Paul Rübig (PPE) to the Commission (12 February 1999) Subject: Motorway link west of Wels, Austria With the North-South artery we are endeavouring to create an integrated road network from the North Sea to Greece. The 1 600 km of road between Hamburg and Belgrade is complete apart from two stretches in Austria. The link west of the town of Wels will join the A8 Innkreis motorway and the A9 Phyrn motorway. At present long-distance traffic has to make a considerable detour or take the ring-road east of Wels, a federal road that passes through a built-up area. The link west of Wels will greatly increase road safety: the total distance covered by vehicles will be reduced by 100 m km p. a. , total driving time by about 900 000 hours. The economic gain is estimated at almost half a billion Schillings. Pollution will be sustainably reduced. Fuel consumption per 5 000 vehicles will then fall by 10 000 tonnes p. a. The motorway link west of Wels is still at the project stage. How does the Commission intend to support and accelerate the implementation of this project? Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (13 April 1999) The road project ‘Westspange Wels’ has been identified as a project of common interest in Decision No 1692/ 96/EC of the Parliament and the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (1). These guidelines constitute a general reference framework intended to encourage the Member States concerned in carrying out the projects of common interest that they identify. The decision on implementing the road project in question and its financing is the responsability of the Austrian government. According to Council Regulation (EC) 2236/95 of 18 September 1995 laying down general rules for the granting of Community financial aid in the field of trans-European networks (2), the Community can support this project, provided that a series of conditions and criteria are fulfilled. Any application for financial aid under this Regulation has to be submitted by the Member State concerned. The criteria on which the selection of measures in view of the granting of Community financial aid are based include, for example, project maturity, the solidity of the financial package or the environmental consequences. Up to now the Austrian government has not requested Community financial aid for the ‘Westspange Wels’ project. The project has not been considered under the structural funds programmes in Austria as the area concerned is not eligible. (1) OJ L 228, 9. 9. 1996. (2) OJ L 228, 23. 9. 1995.
