text: C 27 E/48 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 29. 1. 2000 changes made by the parties concerned. Cultural benefits may rank as advantages to consumers for the purposes of these rules. To sum up, then, an exemption may be granted in the light of Article 151(4) of the EC Treaty only if the agreement or practice in question satisfies all the conditions laid down in Article 81(3) of the EC Treaty. This means that the cultural benefits claimed must be clearly demonstrated. (1) OJ 13, 21. 2. 1962; this Regulation was last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden. (2) Cf Article 19 of the abovementioned Regulation No 17 and Commission Regulation No 1999/63/EEC of 25 July 1963 on the hearings provided for in Article 19(1) and (2) of Regulation No 17 (OJ 127, 20. 8. 1963); the latter has now been repealed and replaced by Commission Regulation (EC) 2842/98 of 22 December 1998 on the hearing of parties in certain proceedings under (the former) Articles 85 and 86 of the EC Treaty (OJ L 354, 30. 12. 1998). (3) Cf. Commission decision of 25 November 1981, VBBB and VBVB (OJ L 54, 25. 2. 1982, p. 12); Commission Decision of 12 December 1988, Publishers Association (cid:129) Net Book Agreements (OJ L 22, 26. 1. 1989); Court of Justice judgment of 17 January 1984 in Joined Cases 43/82 and 63/82, VBVB and VBBB v Commission (1984 Reports); Court of First Instance judgment of 9 July 1992 in Case T-66/89, Publishers Association v Commission (1992 Reports, II-1995); Court of Justice judgment of 17 January 1995 in Case C-360/92 P Publishers Association v Commission, (1995 Reports). (2000/C 27 E/055) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1401/99 by Michl Ebner (PPE-DE) to the Council (1 September 1999) Subject: Promoting and safeguarding lesser-used languages in the EU Will the Council outline its policy on the safeguarding and promotion of lesser-used languages in the European Union and will it back new initiatives aimed at promoting cultural and linguistic exchanges between, for example, young people in Ireland in the west of the Community, and young people in the east of Germany who are living in peripheral regions? Reply (22 October 1999) The Honourable Member is referred to the Council(cid:146)s reply dated 21/1/99 to oral question H 0038/99 put by Mr Pat Gallagher on the same subject. The Council would also like to point out that it awaits with interest the Commission(cid:146)s forthcoming proposal for an action programme on regional and minority languages. (2000/C 27 E/056) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1402/99 by Michl Ebner (PPE-DE) to the Commission (1 September 1999) Subject: EU approval number for vehicle registration The registration of motor vehicles is known to involve a considerable amount of bureaucracy. The introduction of the EU approval number was intended to reduce the number of administrative steps required. However, the vehicle registration offices in the Member States do not possess the necessary infrastructure, so that the EU approval number cannot be used in Italy, for example. Since Italian vehicle registration officials do not have access to the vehicle(cid:146)s technical data and other information on which the EU approval number is based, purchasers are still required to present a large number of papers, from the EC certificate of conformity to the certificate of noise levels

text: 29. 1. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 27 E/101 national rules concerning single vehicle type- approval continue to be applied in the Member States although it is possible that certain systems, components and separate technical units for caravans may have been approved under Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers. The Commission is hopeful that completion of the system of EC vehicle type-approval for vehicles of this type will be agreed within the medium-term. (1) OJ C 143, 15. 5. 1996. (2000/C 27 E/125) WRITTEN QUESTION P-1507/99 by Maria Sanders-ten Holte (ELDR) to the Commission (1 September 1999) Subject: French government(cid:146)s ban on freight traffic in France on 11 August 1999 in connection with the solar eclipse On 27 July 1999 it was reported on the news that the French government is seeking to impose a ban on (freight) traffic in France on 11 August in connection with the solar eclipse. The government says this is for safety reasons. Is the Commission aware of France(cid:146)s intentions and, 1. justified? if so, is it of the opinion that this ban is Does the Commission agree that this ban will paralyse international business and freight traffic, 2. thereby causing unnecessary financial damage, and that this is unacceptable? Does the Commission agree that the ban is excessive given that lorries normally drive at night in 3. France and that no additional safety measures are taken? Does the Commission agree that not only France but also the whole of international trade will be 4. affected by this ban and that France cannot therefore simply impose it? 5. What action does the Commission intend to take before 11 August to prevent the ban entering into fore? Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (10 September 1999) In view of the fact that this question was obviously related to a specific time and event during the Parliamentary recess the Commission wrote to the Honourable Member on 6 August responding to her enquiries. In that letter the Commission said that it was aware of the French government(cid:146)s intention to impose a ban on freight traffic on 11 August 1999 because of the solar eclipse and was of the opinion that such a ban would be justified if it was imposed for road safety reasons and if the measure is in proportion to the aims pursued, even though it could affect international traffic. In the view of the Commission the safety risk did not relate to darkness caused by the solar eclipse in France but rather to the expected massive movements of people who wanted to watch the eclipse from certain locations. In this particular case, the Commission took the view that proportionality meant that the ban should be restricted in time (i. e. not the entire day), should be restricted in space (i. e. probably not the entire French territory) and should distinguish between categories of roads (i. e. secondary roads as opposed to motor- ways). The Commission wrote to the French authorities accordingly, but has not yet received a response

Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvilke nye foranstaltninger den vil tr(cid:230)ffe over for den manglende canadiske vilje til at lłse dette alvorlige stridsspłrgsm(cid:229)l, som, s(cid:229) l(cid:230)nge det er ulłst, vil skade det gode forhold mellem EU og Canada? (1) EFT C 348 af 3. 12. 1999, s. 145. Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Franz Fischler (26. oktober 1999) Den canadiske lovgivning, der giver Canada mulighed for at gennemfłre FN-aftalen om f(cid:230)lles fiskebestande og st(cid:230)rkt vandrende fiskearter (lov nr. C-24) er et af de vigtigste spłrgsm(cid:229)l i forholdet mellem EU og Canada. Det fłrte til n(cid:230)rmere kontakt med Canada, b(cid:229)de p(cid:229) ekspert- og ministerniveau i forl(cid:230)ngelse af topmłdet mellem EU og Canada i juni 1999. I lłbet af disse drłftelser er der gjort v(cid:230)sentlige fremskridt. Canada har fremlagt skriftlige redegłrelser, der kaster lys over form(cid:229)let med den ekstraterritoriale lovgivning og den lovgivning, der for nylig er tr(cid:229)dt i kraft, og som bekr(cid:230)fter, at de nye lovbestemmelser er udformet, s(cid:229) de stemmer overens med bestemmelserne i FN-aftalen, og at de vil blive gennemfłrt korrekt. Da disse redegłrelser er til F(cid:230)llesskabets tilfredsstillelse, kan drłftelserne om de mest fłlsomme politiske spłrgsm(cid:229)l afsluttes. Derfor sendte Kommissionen den 30. september 1999 Canada en verbalnote, hvori der blev redegjort for F(cid:230)llesskabets opfattelse af disse politiske spłrgsm(cid:229)l, samtidig med at F(cid:230)llesskabet tog forbehold vedrłrende visse andre ekstraterritoriale aspekter af den canadiske fiskerilov- givning. Med hensyn til det sidste kan det blive nłdvendigt at genoptage drłftelserne vedrłrende visse resterende lovaspekter af mere teknisk art, n(cid:229)r Kommissionens gennemgang af de canadiske gennem- fłrelsesbestemmelser er afsluttet. Med henblik herp(cid:229) vil der inden l(cid:230)nge blive afholdt et młde mellem Kommissionen og canadiske eksperter

text: 20. 6. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 170 E/39 organisations). Each Member State decides its own arrangements for consulting the most representative partners as designated by it. However, the Commission reserves the right to ask a Member State how it went about consulting the partners and it must offer an account of how it did so under Article 16(1)(d) of the Regulation. The Commission will make use of this option whenever necessary. (1) OJ L 161, 26. 6. 1999. (2000/C 170 E/042) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1581/99 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission (1 September 1999) Subject: Shellfish hygiene directive Is the Commission aware of the impact of Directive 91/0492/EEC (1) on shellfishermen in waters classified as Category C? Classification is determined by monitoring using E. Coli, a testing process which is not an adequate indicator in the case of shellfish where the disease-causing organism is a virus and not a bacterium. Furthermore, the application of the standard to mussels which are cooked and therefore pose less threat to public health than oysters which are traditionally eaten raw is considered to be inappropriate. The livelihoods of fishermen on the River Teign, which is on the border line between Categories B and C, is threatened by the application of the standard to mussels. Will the Commission urgently review the Directive so that the long tradition of shellfishing may survive? (1) OJ L 268, 24. 9. 1991, p. 1. Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (5 November 1999) The monitoring of production areas for the classification foreseen in Chapter I of the annex to Council Directive 91/0492/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs is based on the total number of faecal coliforms or E coli. This classification relates to production areas for live bivalve molluscs, and determines whether live bivalve molluscs can be intended for direct human consumption or must be purified or relayed. The microbiological criteria applicable to the production of commercially cooked mussels are established by Commission Decision 93/0051/EEC of 15 December 1992 on the microbiological criteria applicable to the production of cooked crustaceans and molluscan shellfish (1). On the other hand the Commission, to ensure an effective monitoring system with regard to virus testing and the establishment of standards for virological and bacteriological contamination, presented a proposal for a Parliament and Council Decision on reference laboratories for monitoring bacteriological and viral contamination of bivalve molluscs (2). The Parliament gave its opinion (3) and the Council adopted the proposal, after changing the legal basis from Article 100a to Article 43 of the EC Treaty, on 29 April 1999, by Council Decision 1999/0313/EC of 29 April 1999 on reference laboratories for monitoring bacteriological and viral contamination of bivalve molluscs (4). The Commission is currently preparing a general revision of the Community legislation on food hygiene including a revision of the legislation governing the production and placing on the market of products of animal origin. The River Teign has recent been designated under Council Directive 79/0923/EEC on the quality required of shellfish waters. The protection afforded by this shellfish water quality designation should in time lead to a reduction in pollution. (1) OJ L 13, 21. 1. 1993. (2) OJ C 267, 3. 9. 1997. (3) OJ C 304, 6. 10. 1997.

text: C 27 E/138 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 29. 1. 2000 in the future, the Honourable Member will appreciate that the issues raised in relation to the sale of tickets for this year(cid:146)s European cup final are very different from those addressed by the afore-mentioned decision. It would, therefore, be inappropriate for the Commission to base any legal action against those responsible for the sale of tickets for this year(cid:146)s European cup final on the conclusions drawn in relation to the sale of tickets for last year(cid:146)s football world cup in France. On the basis of a general assessment of the information provided, it seems that the practices to which the Honourable Member refers, regrettable as they may appear to be, do not constitute an infringement of EC Treaty provisions. As such the Commission does not propose to launch an inquiry into the manner in which tickets were allocated and sold for the match in question. (2000/C 27 E/168) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1578/99 by Jaime Valdivielso de CuØ (PPE-DE) to the Commission (1 September 1999) Subject: Health and consumer protection On 26 July 1999, the Commission presented a general outline of its future plan of action to overcome the (cid:145)dioxin crisis(cid:146) following last week(cid:146)s discovery of fully operational pig farms which had been subject to dioxin contamination. The Commission estimated that it would take approximately 6 months for the plan to begin to be implemented. In view of the seriousness of the matter and of the harm which may be caused by the consumption of such substances, what precautionary measures will be adopted in the meantime until the plan begins to be implemented? Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (8 October 1999) Bearing in mind the developments following the (cid:145)dioxin crisis(cid:146) at the end of July 1999 in Belgium, the Commission has had to amend the measures in force since the crisis broke. Commission Decision of 6 August 1999 amending Decision 1999/449/EC on protective measures with regard to contamination by dioxins of certain products of animal origin intended for human or animal consumption (1) ruled out traceability as grounds for certifying meat, eggs and derived products of Belgian origin placed on the market, exchanged between Member States or exported to third countries. Hence this decision required the Belgian authorities to issue certifications for consignments of these foodstuffs on the basis of the results of polychlorobiphenyl (PCB) or dioxin analyses demonstrating that these foodstuffs have not been contami- nated by dioxin. The measure was renewed by Commission Decision 199/601/EC of 1 September 1999 amending Decision 1999/551/EC as regards the protective measures with regard to contamination by dioxins (2). Besides, the Commission has been deliberating about the longer-term lessons to be drawn from this crisis. These deliberations mainly concern animal feed manufacturing procedures, control of the raw materials used in manufacturing this feed, and verification of food contamination levels in the Member States.

Aucune aide n(cid:146)a ØtØ financØe par le programme PHARE dans ce domaine. Il n(cid:146)existe pas non plus de projets dans ce sens. (cid:192) la connaissance de la Commission, la Banque europØenne pour la reconstruction et le dØveloppement (BERD) ne finance aucun projet dans ce domaine. Dans la perspective de son adhØsion, la RØpublique TchŁque ne cesse d(cid:146)aligner sa lØgislation et de renforcer ses structures administratives pour appliquer et mettre en (cid:156)uvre l(cid:146)acquis communautaire, notamment dans le domaine de l(cid:146)environnement.

(cid:192) ce propos, il faut souligner que la Commission attache une grande importance (cid:224) la rØduction de la pollution transfrontiŁre dans les pays candidats. C(cid:146)est pourquoi le programme PHARE de coopØration transfrontaliŁre dØployØ conjointement par l(cid:146)Allemagne et l(cid:146)Autriche investit des ressources considØrables dans ce domaine.

(2000/C 330 E/002) PERGUNTA ESCRITA E-1482/99 apresentada por Lucio Manisco (GUE/NGL) (cid:224) Comissªo Objecto: O caso do Sr. Paul van Buitenen, funcionÆrio da Comissªo (1 de Setembro de 1999) O Sr. Paul van Buitenen forneceu (cid:224) autoridade responsÆvel pelo controlo or(cid:231)amental informa(cid:231)ıes relativas (cid:224)s irregularidades e (cid:224)s fraudes ocorridas na Comissªo. A Comissªo presidida por Jacques Santer aplicou a este funcionÆrio san(cid:231)ıes grav(cid:237)ssimas, nomeadamente, a suspensªo das fun(cid:231)ıes que exercia, a proibi(cid:231)ªo de entrada nos servi(cid:231)os e uma redu(cid:231)ªo de 50 % do seu salÆrio. Seguidamente, o funcionÆrio foi reintegrado nos servi(cid:231)os da Comissªo, mas num posto secundÆrio. A nova Comissªo nªo concorda que, nos termos dos Tratados, o Parlamento Europeu Ø, simultanea- 1. mente, a autoridade responsÆvel pelo or(cid:231)amento e pelo controlo or(cid:231)amental? Nªo considera, por conseguinte, que o funcionÆrio em causa se limitou a observar o disposto nos 2. Tratados ao dirigir-se (cid:224) autoridade or(cid:231)amental? Nªo entende a Comissªo que o Sr. van Buitenen deveria, ao invØs, ser premiado pelo elevado sentido 3. c(cid:237)vico do seu gesto, dando um sentido democrÆtico a uma institui(cid:231)ªo como a Comissªo? Que medidas pretende tomar a Comissªo para que o Sr. van Buitenen seja reintegrado na unidade em 4. que prestava servi(cid:231)o antes do seu afastamento? Que medidas pretende tomar para que os superiores hierÆrquicos do Sr. van Buitenen no momento 5. da denœncia dos factos sejam, pelo menos, afastados das suas actuais fun(cid:231)ıes de responsÆveis pelo controlo financeiro? Resposta dada por Neil Kinnock em nome da Comissªo (3 de Mar(cid:231)o de 2000) O Parlamento Ø uma das autoridades or(cid:231)amentais das Comunidades Europeias, podendo conceder ou 1. recusar (cid:224) Comissªo a quita(cid:231)ªo relativamente ao or(cid:231)amento. 2. e 3. O Sr. Paul van Buitenen foi formalmente repreendido por, sem autoriza(cid:231)ªo, ter infringido as regras em vigor aplicÆveis aos funcionÆrios das Comunidades Europeias, divulgando, no exterior da Comissªo, documentos respeitantes a casos cuja aprecia(cid:231)ªo pelas autoridades judiciais se encontrava em curso e que, alØm disso, eram objecto de processos disciplinares, pondo, deste modo, em causa o princ(cid:237)pio da presun(cid:231)ªo da inocŒncia. Ao tomar a sua decisªo, a autoridade competente teve em conta o facto de a informa(cid:231)ªo ter sido comunicada a um membro do Parlamento Europeu e reconheceu que uma aplica(cid:231)ªo estrita das normas pertinentes poderia nªo se coadunar com o adequado n(cid:237)vel de abertura. Foi com base nestas considera(cid:231)ıes que a Comissªo imp(cid:244)s a repreensªo, que corresponde (cid:224) segunda san(cid:231)ªo mais branda para infrac(cid:231)ıes ao Estatuto dos FuncionÆrios. A Comissªo gostaria de chamar a aten(cid:231)ªo do Senhor Deputado para o facto de, de acordo com a decisªo da Comissªo relativa a investiga(cid:231)ıes efectuadas pelo Grupo de Trabalho para a Coordena(cid:231)ªo da Luta contra a Fraude, de 14 de Julho de 1998, os funcionÆrios que tenham conhecimento da existŒncia de presum(cid:237)veis irregularidades estarem obrigados a informar os seus directores-gerais ou chefes de servi(cid:231)o ou, caso entendam œtil, directamente o Grupo de Trabalho. Desde a entrada em vigor da Decisªo 1999/396/ CEE, CECA, Euratom da Comissªo relativas (cid:224)s condi(cid:231)ıes e regras dos inquØritos internos em matØria de 21. 11. 2000 PT Jornal Oficial das Comunidades Europeias C 330 E/3 luta contra a fraude, a corrup(cid:231)ªo e todas as actividades ilegais lesivas dos interesses das Comunidades (1), os funcionÆrios devem informar desses factos os seus chefes de unidade ou directores-gerais, ou, se entenderem œtil, directamente o secretÆrio-geral da Comissªo ou o OLAF. Os funcionÆrios que prestem ou tenham prestado tais informa(cid:231)ıes atravØs dos meios acima indicados tiveram e tŒm a garantia de que nªo sofrerªo de modo algum, por esse facto, um tratamento injusto ou discriminat(cid:243)rio. No (cid:226)mbito da sua reforma administrativa, a Comissªo estÆ a desenvolver um sistema aperfei(cid:231)oado que assegurarÆ, alØm das actuais disposi(cid:231)ıes, que os funcionÆrios que cumpram o dever de comunicar provas de presum(cid:237)veis infrac(cid:231)ıes disponham de meios justos e efectivos suplementares para comunicar as suas preocupa(cid:231)ıes e provas e obter uma resposta cabal e activa (cid:224)s suas diligŒncias. 4. Em aplica(cid:231)ªo das disposi(cid:231)ıes do Estatuto e no interesse do servi(cid:231)o, o Sr. Van Buitenen foi afecto a um servi(cid:231)o diferente, com fun(cid:231)ıes correspondentes (cid:224)s suas qualifica(cid:231)ıes e forma(cid:231)ªo. A reafecta(cid:231)ªo no interesse do servi(cid:231)o nªo pode, de modo algum, ser considerada uma medida disciplinar. O lugar que o referido funcionÆrio actualmente ocupa Ø, pelo menos, equivalente (cid:224)quele que antes ocupava. 5. Quando os documentos foram divulgados em Dezembro de 1998, os superiores do Sr. Van Buitenen avisaram-no de que estava a violar o Estatuto dos FuncionÆrios. O Sr. Van Buitenen actuou por sua exclusiva iniciativa, entendendo a Comissªo que se nªo justifica a transferŒncia para outros postos dos funcionÆrios que, na altura dos factos, eram seus superiores hierÆrquicos, por terem prevenido aquele funcionÆrio das imposi(cid:231)ıes resultantes das normas em vigor e das poss(cid:237)veis consequŒncias da divulga(cid:231)ªo dos documentos em causa no exterior da Comissªo.

text: 29. 1. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 27 E/61 (2000/C 27 E/073) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1421/99 by Roberta Angelilli (NI) to the Commission (1 September 1999) Subject: Recognition of Antonio Zotti(cid:146)s parental rights For a number of years Antonio Zotti, an Italian citizen, has been engaged in a fierce legal battle to secure recognition of his parental rights over his own daughter Sabrina, who has not yet reached the age of majority and who is currently living with her Romanian mother Alina Bodea. Despite the fact that the Italian authorities have awarded custody to the father and although the visas allowing his daughter to leave the country have expired, the mother has taken the child to Romania and is refusing to allow Antonio Zotti any contact with her. In view of the above, could the Commission say: 1. whether or not it thinks that representations should be made to the Romanian authorities in order to secure recognition of Antonio Zotti(cid:146)s parental rights? 2. which directives regulate such issues at European level? 3. whether it is to express a general view on the matter as a whole? Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission (15 October 1999) According to the Honourable Member(cid:146)s description of the case, an Italian national has been awarded custody of his child by the Italian authorities. The mother, a Romanian national, has taken the child to Romania in breach of the custody order and has even deprived the father of his visiting rights since she refuses to allow him any contact with his daughter. There is as yet no Union legislation for resolving such cases where a child has been abducted across frontiers. Neither the Commission nor any other Union institution would therefore be 1. international competent to approach the Romanian authorities concerning this unfortunate case. On 25 October 1980 a Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction was 2. concluded in The Hague. According to Article 1 of this Convention, its aims are (cid:145)(a) to secure the prompt return of children wrongfully removed to or retained in any Contracting State; and (b) to ensure that rights of custody and of access under the law of one Contracting State are effectively respected in the other Contracting States. (cid:146) The Hague Conference on Private International Law has supplied information to the effect that the Convention has been signed and ratified by Italy and that Romania has acceded to the Convention but Romanian accession has not yet been accepted by Italy. Once this formality has been completed, the case could be referred to the central authorities whom Italy and Romania have designated under Article 6 (cid:145)to discharge the duties imposed by the Convention(cid:146). Particulars of the Italian and Romanian central authorities are being sent direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat. (2000/C 27 E/074) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1422/99 by Cristiana Muscardini (NI) to the Council (1 September 1999) Subject: Bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade The (cid:145)mistake(cid:146) which led to the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade is a serious event on account of the diplomatic and strategic implications it may have, but it also highlights once again the role (and the associated responsibilities) of the EU Member States(cid:146) governments within the Atlantic Council and of the NATO military bodies which are an offshoot thereof

September 1999) Betrifft: Einrichtung und Durchf(cid:252)hrung eines Pilotprojekts zur Schaffung von Arbeitspl(cid:228)tzen in Galicien im Einklang mit den Bestimmungen des Vertrags von Amsterdam Obwohl Galicien eine Arbeitslosenquote von 17 % der erwerbst(cid:228)tigen Bev(cid:246)lkerung hat, verf(cid:252)gen weder die autonome Regierung noch die Zentralregierung des spanischen Staates (cid:252)ber einen Plan zur Schaffung von Arbeitspl(cid:228)tzen in diesem Land, der der im Vertrag von Amsterdam verankerten und auf dem Gipfel des Europ(cid:228)ischen Rates in Luxemburg beschlossenen Politik entsprechen w(cid:252)rde. Diese beiden Regierungen haben sich darauf beschr(cid:228)nkt, der EU angebliche Pl(cid:228)ne zur Schaffung von Arbeitspl(cid:228)tzen vorzulegen, die im Grunde nichts anderes als die Zusammenfassung bereits veranschlagter Mittel sind, wobei offensichtlich die Bezeichnung ge(cid:228)ndert wurde, um sie den Anforderungen der EU anzupassen, ohne da(cid:223) sie nennens- werte Neuerungen gebracht h(cid:228)tten, die in einer Frage von so ausschlaggebender Bedeutung f(cid:252)r die galicische Wirtschaft eine Trendwende herbeif(cid:252)hren k(cid:246)nnten.

Antwort von Herrn Oreja im Namen der Kommission (16.

text: C 170 E/6 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 20. 6. 2000 Wat het tweede deel van de vraag betreft, kan met betrekking tot het Europees Oriºntatie- en Garantie- fonds voor de Landbouw (EOGFL), afdeling Garantie, onderdeel Marktsteun, in het algemeen worden gesteld dat het gaat om maatregelen op grond waarvan de rechthebbenden onder bepaalde voorwaarden aanspraak kunnen maken op bepaalde bedragen waarin de regelgeving betreffende het gemeenschappelijk landbouwbeleid (GLB) voorziet. Bedoelde regelgeving geldt evenwel in alle lidstaten en alle lidstaten dienen ze toe te passen. Voor bepaalde specifieke maatregelen die door het EOGFL, afdeling Garantie, worden gefinancierd, is de toepassing evenwel facultatief. Zo past het Verenigd Koninkrijk bijvoorbeeld geen subsidiºring van het boterverbruik door bijstandtrekkers toe krachtens Verordening (EEG) 2990/82 van de Raad van 9 november 1982 betreffende de verkoop van boter tegen verlaagde prijs aan personen die sociale bijstand genieten (3): deze maatregel wordt alleen in Ierland toegepast. Bovendien verstrekt het Verenigd Koninkrijk sedert 1999 ook geen landbouwproducten meer aan behoeftige burgers (Verordening (EEG) 3730/87 van de Raad van 10 december 1987 houdende algemene voorschriften voor de levering van levensmiddelen uit interventievoorraden aan bepaalde organisaties met het oog op verstrekking aan de meest hulpbehoevenden in de Gemeenschap (4)). Een lijst van de GLB-mechanismen in het kader waarvan het Verenigd Koninkrijk in de loop van het begrotingsjaar 1998 gØØn uitgaven heeft gedeclareerd, wordt het geachte parlementslid en het secretariaat- generaal van het Parlement rechtstreeks toegestuurd.

(2000/C 170 E/007) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1413/99 van Heidi Hautala (Verts/ALE) aan de Commissie (1 september 1999) Betreft: Veterinaire behandeling van paarden Dierenartsen en paardeneigenaars maken zich in toenemende mate zorgen over het verdwijnen van een aantal belangrijke geneesmiddelen voor de behandeling van paarden, waardoor zowel de gezondheid als het welzijn van deze dieren in gevaar komt. De reden hiervan is dat de farmaceutische industrie verplicht is om tegen hoge kosten maximumresiduwaarden vast te stellen voor alle geneesmiddelen die worden gebruikt voor de behandeling van voedselproducerende dieren. Deze kosten zijn niet verantwoord voor producten die worden gebruikt voor (cid:132)minder belangrijke(cid:148) soorten die commercieel gezien weinig interessant zijn. De EU classificeert het paard als een voedselproducerend dier, hoewel minder dan 15 % in de menselijke voedselketen terecht komt. Een oplossing zou kunnen zijn om het paard te classificeren als gezelschapsdier. Kan de Commissie bevestigen dat een dergelijke maatregel wordt overwogen en ook dat naar andere oplossingen wordt gekeken? Antwoord van de heer Byrne namens de Commissie (15 november 1999) De beschikbaarheid van geneesmiddelen voor voedselproducerende dieren is een complex probleem. Het probleem heeft te maken met het welzijn van dieren, aangezien door het verbod op het gebruik van bepaalde geneesmiddelen noodzakelijke behandelingen niet kunnen worden toegepast, alsook met de bescherming van de gezondheid van de consument. Het weerspiegelt een conflict tussen de behoeften van de landbouw, de vereiste investeringen in de farmaceutische industrie en de publieke perceptie van het probleem in zijn geheel. Het probleem heeft ook een belangrijk internationaal aspect, aangezien een aanzienlijk gedeelte van het in de Gemeenschap geconsumeerde paardenvlees van buitenlandse herkomst is. Overeenkomstig het Verdrag zijn paardachtigen (ezels, paarden en kruisingen daarvan) landbouwdieren. Richtlijn 64/0433/EEG van 26 juni 1964 inzake gezondheidsvraagstukken op het gebied van het intracommunautair handelsverkeer in vers vlees (1) is van toepassing op paardenvlees. De herindeling van paardachtigen als gezelschapsdieren zou een aanzienlijk aantal burgers van hun traditioneel voedsel beroven. 20. 6. 2000 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen C 170 E/7 Hoewel in de Gemeenschap paarden in hoofdzaak worden gefokt voor andere gebruiksdoeleinden dan voedselproductie, is slachting in een bepaalde fase van hun leven gebruikelijk en wordt door het Gemeen- schapsrecht niet uitgesloten. Geen lidstaat verbiedt het slachten van paarden en de handel in paarden om hen voor voedsel te slachten. Rekening houdend met de leeftijd die een paard kan bereiken, de frequente verandering van eigenaar en nationaliteit en de verschillende doeleinden waarvoor een paard kan worden gebruikt, zou de hantering van een algemeen onderscheid tussen paarden als gezelschapsdieren en voedselproducerende dieren moeilijk zijn. De bescherming van de gezondheid van de Europese consumenten wordt verzekerd door Verordening (EEG) 2377/90 van 26 juni 1990 houdende een communautaire procedure tot vaststelling van maximum- waarden voor residuen (MWR) van geneesmiddelen voor diergeneeskundig gebruik in levensmiddelen van dierlijke oorsprong (2). Stoffen waarvoor geen MWR kunnen worden vastgesteld (omdat deze producten of hun metabolieten in enige concentratie toxisch zijn) hebben reeds hun vergunning om in de handel te worden gebracht voor voedselproducerende dieren verloren. Stoffen waarvoor provisorische MWR zijn vastgesteld, zullen v(cid:243)(cid:243)r 1 januari 2000 van de markt verdwijnen, als het bedrijfsleven er niet in slaagt de definitieve MWR vast te stellen. Het verlies van bepaalde stoffen betekent echter niet dat er geen therapeutische alternatieven zijn. Sommige stoffen zonder MWR kunnen worden vervangen door andere stoffen waarvoor MWR zijn vastgesteld en die effectief zijn voor dezelfde klinische indicatie. Sommige van deze alternatieven kunnen echter substantieel duurder of moeilijker toe te dienen zijn. De huidige stand van zaken is dat het Europees bureau voor de geneesmiddelenbeoordeling (EMEA) een lijst heeft opgesteld met de geneesmiddelen die onontbeerlijk zijn en onherroepelijk verloren zouden gaan voor de behandeling van voedselproducerende dieren met ingang van 1 januari 2000. De Commissie heeft het Parlement (3) meegedeeld dat minder dan 15 stoffen in deze categorie vallen. Het (cid:132)off-label(cid:148)-gebruik van geneesmiddelen, bijvoorbeeld die welke voor menselijke geneeskunde zijn ontwikkeld, is van even groot belang en is gebruikelijk in de hedendaagse geavanceerde paardenmedicatie. Een dergelijke behandeling vereist echter de verwijdering van het dier uit de voedselketen. Richtlijn 81/0851/EEG van de Raad van 28 september 1981 betreffende de onderlinge aanpassing van de wetgevingen der lidstaten inzake geneesmiddelen voor diergeneeskundig gebruik (4) bevat bepalingen om tekorten in de levering van geneesmiddelen te voorkomen. In artikel 4 van deze richtlijn zijn de uitzonderlijke voorwaarden vastgelegd voor het gebruik van medische producten waarin stoffen zijn opgenomen in een samenstelling waarvoor in een bepaalde lidstaat geen vergunning is afgegeven. Deze zogenaamde (cid:132)cascade(cid:148) vereist uiteindelijk dat de opgenomen stoffen een vergunning hebben in een ander geneesmiddel voor diergeneeskundig gebruik voor voedselproducerende dieren in de betreffende lidstaat. Een wachttijd van 7 tot 28 dagen moet in acht worden genomen, afhankelijk van het van dit dier afgeleide product. De paardengeneeskunde is vandaag de dag echter zeer geavanceerd en goed vergelijkbaar met de praktijk voor kleine dieren, en deels met de menselijke geneeskunde. Het is niet ongebruikelijk dat paardenartsen geneesmiddelen gebruiken die zijn ontwikkeld voor de behandeling van mensen of huisdieren. Voor in dergelijke geneesmiddelen opgenomen stoffen kunnen nooit MWR worden vastgesteld, en er komen elke dag nieuwe geneesmiddelen op de markt. Dit (cid:132)off-label(cid:148)-gebruik, d. w. z. buiten de bedoelde indicatie, van geneesmiddelen bij paarden vereist de verwijdering van het dier uit de voedselketen. Wat de complexe aard betreft van de problemen in verband met de beschikbaarheid van geneesmiddelen voor voedselproducerende dieren, kunnen geen gemakkelijke en snelle oplossingen worden gevonden. Een geco(cid:246)rdineerde actie van de Commissie en de autoriteiten in de lidstaten en de farmaceutische industrie, de landbouw en de visserij is nodig om voor een effectieve medische behandeling van (cid:132)minder belangrijke soorten(cid:148) te zorgen. Rekening houdend met de hierboven vermelde bijzonderheden voor paardachtigen heeft de Commissie echter op 14 juni 1999 de Landbouwraad in kennis gesteld van haar voornemen om zo spoedig mogelijk passende voorstellen in te dienen. Deze voorstellen, gebaseerd op artikel 152 (ex artikel 129) van het EG- Verdrag, zullen betrekking hebben op de mogelijkheid om niet MWR-stoffen toe te dienen aan paard- achtigen onder bepaalde gecontroleerde voorwaarden die ervoor moeten zorgen dat de vereiste wachttijd in acht wordt genomen.
