text: 8. 8. 2000 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 225 E/45 (2000/C 225 E/045) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2059/99 di Karin Scheele (PSE) alla Commissione (12 novembre 1999) Oggetto: Chiusura della centrale atomica di Bohunice Nel 1994 il governo slovacco ha reso pubblica la sua decisione di chiudere nel 2000 i due reattori V-1 della centrale atomica di Bohunice. Questa decisione Ł stata ripresa anche in Agenda 2000. Alla fine di settembre, il governo slovacco Ł tornato sulla sua decisione e ha presentato un nuovo calendario, che prevede la chiusura della centrale solo nel 2008. Il Commissario G(cid:252)nther Verheugen si Ł felicitato di questa decisione. Nel suo parere sulla domanda di adesione della Slovacchia all(cid:146)Unione europea, la Commissione considera che, dopo una fase di modernizzazione volta a migliorare il livello di sicurezza (fino al 1999), il reattore del prototipo A1 deve essere definitivamente chiuso. Nel quadro del partenariato di adesione, la Repubblica slovacca si Ł impegnata ad attuare un programma realistico per la chiusura della centrale atomica di Bohunice. Nella relazione della Commissione del novembre 1998 sui progressi della Slovacchia verso l(cid:146)adesione si sottolinea criticamente il fatto che uno sfruttamento piø a lungo termine della centrale dopo il 1999 non Ł compatibile nØ con il partenariato per l(cid:146)adesione nØ con la decisione del governo slovacco del 1994. La Commissione pu(cid:242) far sapere: 1. 2. come valuta gli ultimi calendari presentati dal governo slovacco in vista dell(cid:146)adesione all(cid:146)Unione europea? Se intende in futuro prestare particolare attenzione all(cid:146)applicazione del calendario previsto nel quadro del partenariato per l(cid:146)adesione e, se del caso, prendere le misure necessarie? Risposta data dal sig. Verheugen in nome della Commissione (9 dicembre 1999) Secondo le definizioni del gruppo dei sette paesi piø industrializzati riunitisi a Monaco nel 1992, vi sono a Bohunice due reattori VVER 440/230 (unit(cid:224) 1 e 2 di Bohunice V1) non migliorabili a costi ragionevoli e due reattori VVER 440/213 (unit(cid:224) 3 e 4 di Bohunice V2) potenziabili. Il vecchio reattore A1 di Bohunice Ł stato chiuso nel 1997 ed Ł attualmente in fase di smantellamento. La durata di funzionamento delle unit(cid:224) 1 e 2 di Bohunice come da progetto originario Ł rispettivamente fino al 2008 e fino al 2010. In questi ultimi anni il governo slovacco ha investito somme importanti di denaro (circa 200 M €) per migliorare le norme di sicurezza di Bohunice V1 (unit(cid:224) 1 e 2), con la prospettiva di consentire il loro funzionamento rispettivamente fino al 2010-2012, o oltre. Nonostante tali investimenti, Ł stata presa la decisione di portare avanti il processo di chiusura della centrale di Bohunice V1 entro il 2006 per l(cid:146)unit(cid:224) 1 e entro il 2008 per l(cid:146)unit(cid:224) 2. La Commissione ritiene tali date realistiche e credibili. Verr(cid:224) fatto ogni sforzo per garantire il rispetto di queste date di chiusura. Il partenariato per l(cid:146)adesione del 1999 indica chiaramente che la chiusura e lo smantellamento della centrale di Bohunice V1 sono fattori di importanza prioritaria. La Commissione seguir(cid:224) gli sviluppi riguardanti la centrale di Bohunice V1 con particolare attenzione. La Commissione Ł pronta a sostenere ed a collaborare strettamente con le autorit(cid:224) slovacche al fine di raggiungere l(cid:146)obiettivo di una rapida chiusura e dello smantellamento dei reattori di Bohunice V1, in particolare grazie alla fornitura di sostegno finanziario e esperienza tecnica. Una valutazione regolare dei progressi verr(cid:224) attuata nel contesto degli strumenti di pre-adesione, nonchØ del processo di adesione. (2000/C 225 E/046) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2063/99 di Juan Naranjo Escobar (PPE-DE) alla Commissione Oggetto: La disparit(cid:224) di trattamento sociale dei cittadini dell(cid:146)Unione (12 novembre 1999) Il 28 settembre 1999 Eurostat ha pubblicato lo studio «Les transferts sociaux et leurs effets redistributifs dans l(cid:146)UE» (I trasferimenti sociali e i loro effetti in termini di ridistribuzione nell(cid:146)UE) i cui risultati rivelano forti disparit(cid:224) nel trattamento di cui i cittadini dell(cid:146)Unione sono oggetto per quanto riguarda il pagamento di pensioni e di altri sussidi sociali. C 225 E/46 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee IT 8. 8. 2000 Lo studio evidenzia il fatto che la percentuale di cittadini che beneficia di questi aiuti varia notevolmente negli Stati membri dell(cid:146)Unione europea analizzati. Paradossalmente, il livello di vita dei beneficiari di queste prestazioni sociali Ł, in alcuni casi, pari a quello del resto della popolazione del loro paese e, in altri, addirittura superiore alla media. L(cid:146)impatto dei vari sussidi sulla «popolazione povera» Ł altres(cid:236) molto disuguale. La concentrazione di sussidi in questo settore della popolazione varia notevolmente da uno Stato membro all(cid:146)altro. D(cid:146)altro canto, le prestazioni economiche che i cittadini ricevono a titolo di altri sussidi sociali rappresen- tano, in alcuni casi, un importo molto vicino a quello che ricevono in virtø delle loro pensioni e, in altri, un importo sensibilmente inferiore. Pu(cid:242) la Commissione confermare questa situazione? In caso affermativo, come giudica la Commissione il trattamento sociale tanto diverso di cui, in questa materia, sono oggetto i cittadini dell(cid:146)Unione? Pu(cid:242) la Commissione far sapere quali provvedimenti intende adottare per ridurre queste differenze? Risposta della sig. ra Diamantopoulou a nome della Commissione (8 dicembre 1999) L(cid:146)analisi sull(cid:146)effetto ridistributivo delle prestazioni previdenziali nella Comunit(cid:224) Ł stata intrapresa dalla Commissione in collaborazione con il Ministero francese per l(cid:146)occupazione e la solidariet(cid:224) europea nel 1995 (ECHP), che Ł la sola fonte di dati armonizzata della Comunit(cid:224) sui redditi in generale e sui trasferimenti sociali in particolare. L(cid:146)ECHP Ł un(cid:146)indagine basata su un campione di circa 60. 500 famiglie della Comunit(cid:224) (170. 000 individui). L(cid:146)analisi conferma che in media circa un quarto del reddito totale degli europei Ł costituito da trasferimenti sociali; le pensioni garantiscono un livello di vita per i beneficiatri che Ł analogo al livello di vita della popolazione nel suo insieme; le prestazioni previdenziali diverse dalle pensioni sono intensivamente mirate al settore della popolazione con i redditi piø bassi e sono riuscite, come risultato, a ridurre la proporzione delle persone che vivono con un reddito basso di circa un quarto o piø in vari paesi membri. Quanto piø grande Ł l(cid:146)ineguaglianza e la povert(cid:224) prima dei trasferimenti e maggiore la quota di tali trasferimenti sociali in reddito totale, maggiore Ł il loro impatto nel ridurre la povert(cid:224) e le disparit(cid:224) nei redditi. Questi risultati illustrano e confermano l(cid:146)importante effetto ridistributivo dei trasferimenti sociali e delle prestazioni previdenziali come principio importante del modello sociale europeo. Tuttavia, poichØ i dati includono solo i trasferimenti a mezzo cassa (e non le prestazioni sociali in natura), l(cid:146)impatto ridistributivo della protezione sociale Ł probabilmente anche piø elevato. L(cid:146)analisi evidenzia inoltre differenze significative tra gli Stati membri e il fabbisogno di rafforzare la cooperazione a livello comunitario. La Commissione ha proposto «una strategia concertata per moderniz- zare la protezione sociale (1)», basata sul dialogo, lo scambio di esperienze e la valutazione di politiche di sviluppo per orientare la futura azione e collaborazione in questo settore.

(2000/C 203 E/161) PERGUNTA ESCRITA E-2060/99 apresentada por Ioannis Mar(cid:237)nos (PPE-DE) (cid:224) Comissªo (12 de Novembro de 1999) Objecto: Candidatura da Turquia A Comissªo recomendou ao Conselho e ao Parlamento Europeu a aceita(cid:231)ªo da candidatura da Turquia (cid:224) adesªo (cid:224) Uniªo Europeia, considerando que nem a sua situa(cid:231)ªo geogrÆfica problemÆtica (trata-se de um pa(cid:237)s principalmente asiÆtico) nem o nªo cumprimento dos critØrios de Copenhaga (direitos do Homem, institui(cid:231)ıes democrÆticas, tratamento das minorias, etc. ) constitu(cid:237)am um obstÆculo a essa adesªo. Pode, entªo, a Comissªo indicar por que motivo, se a CroÆcia, a B(cid:243)snia, a SØrvia e a ARJM, que sªo incontestavelmente pa(cid:237)ses europeus, apresentarem o seu pedido de adesªo, s(cid:243) aceitarÆ a sua candidatura (cid:129) conforme referiu o Presidente Prodi (cid:129) se estes pa(cid:237)ses respeitarem os critØrios de Copenhaga? Qual a razªo destas discrimina(cid:231)ıes e em que princ(cid:237)pios e em que base jur(cid:237)dica se apoia esta pol(cid:237)tica de dois pesos e duas medidas? Quem e quando decidiu ignorar os princ(cid:237)pios em que se baseou e desenvolveu a Uniªo Europeia, lesando quando tal medida serve os interesses econ(cid:243)micos e estratØgicos de alguns Estados-membros, embora os interesses correspondentes de outros pa(cid:237)ses da Uniªo Europeia? Resposta dada por G(cid:252)nter Verheugen em nome da Comissªo (3 de Dezembro de 1999) A Comissªo expressou efectivamente a opiniªo de que a Turquia devia ser considerada um pa(cid:237)s candidato (cid:224) adesªo (cid:224) Uniªo Europeia. Ao apresentar a sua candidatura de adesªo (cid:224) Uniªo em 1987, a Turquia expressou jÆ hÆ muito tempo o seu desejo de se tornar membro da Uniªo. AlØm disso, o acordo de Ancara (nomeadamente o artigo 28o) e diversas declara(cid:231)ıes da Uniªo prevŒem claramente a possibilidade de adesªo da Turquia. A Comissªo aplica os critØrios de adesªo de Copenhaga de um modo uniforme a todos os pa(cid:237)ses candidatos. Um pa(cid:237)s candidato terÆ de cumprir tais critØrios para poder tornar-se membro da Uniªo. O mesmo se aplica (cid:224) Turquia. AlØm disso, estÆ absolutamente fora de questªo iniciar negocia(cid:231)ıes com a Turquia antes deste pa(cid:237)s ter cumprido os critØrios pol(cid:237)ticos de Copenhaga. No que diz respeito aos outros pa(cid:237)ses europeus, a Comissªo recomendou, em 13 de Outubro de 1999, que a Uniªo «confirmasse que os pa(cid:237)ses da ex-JugoslÆvia e a Alb(cid:226)nia reœnem condi(cid:231)ıes a prazo para se tornarem membros da Uniªo». Recomendou igualmente que se «continuassem a desenvolver os critØrios de adesªo, a partir dos critØrios definidos em Copenhaga, que tornariam a adesªo (cid:224) Uniªo dependente nªo s(cid:243) do cumprimento dos princ(cid:237)pios do artigo 6o do Tratado da Uniªo Europeia mas igualmente do reconhecimento mœtuo das fronteiras de cada um, da resolu(cid:231)ªo de todas as questıes pendentes relativas ao tratamento das minorias nacionais, da cria(cid:231)ªo de uma organiza(cid:231)ªo regional de comØrcio livre e coopera(cid:231)ªo ecom(cid:243)mica como base para uma maior integra(cid:231)ªo na Uniªo»

text: COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 12. 11. 1999 COM(1999) 575 final Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION Concerning the Community position within the Association Council on the participation of Latvia in the multiannual Community programme for energy efficiency, SAVE II (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM In the conclusions of its meeting of 12 and 13 December 1997 in Luxembourg, the European Council stressed the importance of the participation of candidate countries in Community programmes, which will help these countries to familiarise themselves with the Union’s policies and working methods. The Europe Agreements or their Additional Protocols concerning the participation in Community programmes explicitly mention the field of energy as an eligible area. Moreover, they convey the task to define terms and conditions for participation to the Association Councils. Therefore, in preparation of Association Council decisions, the Commission services concerned have held exploratory discussions with the 10 associated countries from central Europe in Brussels in December 1996 and the beginning of 1997 concerning their future participation in the SAVE II programme, which was adopted 16 December 1996, and provides for the participation of associated CEC's and Cyprus. During these discussions, information was provided on the content of the programme and on conditions and modalities for these countries' participation, including the cost of participation. More particularly, taking into account that, as provided in the Europe Agreements or their Additional Protocols, the CEC's will themselves meet the costs resulting from their participation, they were invited to make the necessary provisions in their budgets for 1998, 1999 and 2000 on the basis of cost estimates provided by the Commission. Furthermore, the possibility for the CEC's to draw on their national Phare allocation for complementing the contribution from their own budget has been reiterated. In March 1999, Latvia confirmed to the Commission its willingness to participate in SAVE II and provided the necessary information for its participation as from 1999. The main issues addressed in the annexed draft Association Council Decision adopting the terms and conditions for the participation of Latvia in SAVE II programme are the following : • Latvia will participate in all activities of SAVE II, in conformity with the objectives, criteria and procedures of the Programme (Annex I, point 1). • terms and conditions for the submission, assessment and selection of applications will be the same as for Member States (Annex I, point 2). • A minimum number of partners from EC Member States will be required for all transnational projects proposed by Latvia (Annex I, point 3). • Latvia will ensure national co-ordination and organisation of participation in SAVE II (Annex I, 4). • Financial contributions are defined in Annex I, point 5 and in Annex II to the Decision; in accordance with Article 109 of the Europe Agreement with Latvia, this country will pay an annual contribution to cover the cost of its participation, which will be financed from its own national budget in 1999, but which can be partly financed from its Phare allocation. 2 • Latvia will participate in the monitoring of its participation in the Programme (Annex I point 7). • Latvia will be invited to co-ordination meetings prior to the meetings of the SAVE Committee; it will also be informed of their results (Annex I, point 8). • The Decision shall apply for the duration of the programme (Article 2 in the Decision). The adoption of an Association Council decision to allow Latvia to participate in SAVE II from 1999 will offer an opportunity to participate actively in this internal is, Community instrument, as part of the re-inforced pre-accession strategy. It therefore, of considerable political importance. To promote effctive participation of Latvia in 1999 and to avoid any discouraging effect upon prospective partners, arising from the fact that the Association Council Decision will not be in force until the second half of this year, the Commission services will evaluate project proposals involving Latvian partners as if this Decision was already in force. The eligibility criterion will be considered at the latest possible moment before decisions are taken on the projects. This should normally occur after the entry into force of the Association Council Decision. In order to allow Latvia to join SAVE II in the near future, the Council is invited to adopt the annexed proposal for a decision concerning the Community position within the Association Council with Latvia on their participation in SAVE II. 3 Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION Concerning the Community position within the Association Council on the participation of Latvia in the multiannual Community programme for energy efficiency, SAVE II THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 174 and 175 (1) in conjunction with Article 300 (2), second indent thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, (1) Whereas the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Latvia, of the other part, has entered into force on 01. 02. 1998, (2) Whereas, according to Article 109 of the Europe Agreement, Latvia may participate in Community framework programmes, specific programmes, projects or other actions including those in the field of energy and the terms and conditions for the participation of Latvia in the activities referred to in the said Article shall be decided by the Association Council, (3) Whereas Council Decision (96/737/EC)1 of 16 December 1996 establishing a multiannual programme for the promotion of energy efficiency in the Community and in particular Article 10 thereof, provides that this programme shall be open to the participation of associated Central European countries in accordance with the conditions set out in the Association Agreements on participation in Community programmes.

Latvia will participate in all actions of the multiannual Community programme for energy efficiency, SAVE II (hereinafter called "SAVE II") in conformity, unless otherwise provided in this Decision, with the objectives, criteria, procedures and time limits laid down in Council Decision (96/737/EC) establishing a five-year programme for the preparation and implementation of measures and actions in a cost-effective manner in order to promote energy efficiency within the Community. The terms and conditions for the submission, assessment and selection of applications related to eligible institutions, organisations and individuals of Latvia will be the same as those applicable to eligible institutions, organisations and individuals of the Community, set within the limits of the financial contribution of Latvia less administrative costs as provided in Annex II. 3. Where applicable, to ensure the Community dimension of SAVE II, transnational projects and activities proposed by Latvia will be required to include a minimum number of partners from the Member States of the Community. This minimum number will be decided in the framework of the implementation of SAVE II, taking into account the nature of the various activities, the number of partners in a given project, and the number of countries participating in the activity. 4. 5. 6. Latvia will pay the total contribution from its national budget, since Phare assistance has not been requested for this purpose. Latvia will organisation of participation in SAVE II. take all necessary steps to ensure national co-ordination and Latvia will pay each year a contribution to the general budget of the European Communities to cover the costs resulting from its participation in SAVE II (see Annex II). The Association Committee is entitled to adapt this contribution whenever necessary. The Member States of the Community and Latvia will make every effort, within the framework of existing provisions, to facilitate the free movement and residence of persons moving between Latvia and the Member States of the Community for the purpose of participating in activities covered by this Decision. 7. Without prejudice to the responsibilities of the Commission and the Community's Court of Auditors of the European Communities in relation to the monitoring and evaluation of SAVE II pursuant to Article 5 of the Council 7 Decision on SAVE II, the participation of Latvia in the programme will be continuously monitored on a partnership basis involving Latvia and the Commission of the European Communities. Latvia will submit the necessary reports to the Commission and take part in other specific activities set out by the Community in that context. 8. Without prejudice to the procedures referred to in Articles 4 and 5 of the Decision on SAVE II, Latvia will be invited to co-ordination meetings on any question concerning the implementation of this Decision prior to the regular meetings of the SAVE Committee. The Commission will inform Latvia about the results of such regular meetings. 9. The language to be used as regards the application process, contracts, reports to be submitted and other administrative arrangements the SAVE II programme, will be one of the official languages of the Community. for 8 ANNEX II Financial Contribution of Latvia to SAVE II 1. The financial contribution of Latvia will cover: - - subsidies or any other financial support from the programme to Latvian participants, supplementary administrative costs related to the management of the programme by the Commission of the European Communities stemming from Latvia's participation. 2. For every financial year, the aggregated amount of subsidies or any other financial support received from the programme by Latvian beneficiaries will not exceed the contribution paid by Latvia, after deduction of the supplementary administrative costs. Should the contribution paid by Latvia to the general budget of the European Communities, after deduction of the supplementary administrative costs, be higher than the aggregated amount of the subsidies or other financial support received by the Latvian beneficiaries from the programme, the Commission will transfer the balance to the next budgetary exercise, and it will be deducted from the following year's contribution. Should such a balance be left when the programme comes to an end, the corresponding amount will be reimbursed to Latvia. 3. Latvia’s annual contribution will be of 57 942 EUR from 1999. From this sum, an amount of 3 942 EUR will cover supplementary administrative costs related to the management of the programme by the Commission stemming from Latvia’s participation. Latvia will pay the total contribution from its national budget, since Phare assistance has not been requested for this purpose. 4. The financial regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities will apply, notably to the management of the contribution of Latvia. Upon the entry into force of this Decision and at the beginning of each year, the Commission will send to Latvia a call for funds corresponding to its contribution to the costs under this Decision. This contribution will be expressed in EURO and paid into an EURO bank account of the Commission. 9 Latvia will pay its contribution to the annual costs under this Decision according to the call for funds and at the latest three months after the call for funds is sent. Any delay in the payment of the contribution shall give rise to the payment of interest by Latvia on the outstanding amount from the due date. The interest rate corresponds to the rate applied by the ECB for the month of the due date, for its operations in EURO, increased by 1,5 percentage points. 10 FINANCIAL STATEMENT 1. TITLE OF OPERATION Opening of Community Programmes in the field of energy to Latvia (SAVE II) 2. BUDGET HEADING INVOLVED Latvia has decided to cover the costs of its participation entirely from its own national budget. Latvia will be invited to transfer its contribution to item 6091 of the EU’s budget receipts. 3. LEGAL BASIS Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 174 and 175 (1), in conjunction with Article 300 (2), second indent thereof, Article 109 of the Europe Agreement with Latvia providing for the opening-up of Community programmes (OJ L 26, 2. 2. 98, p. 1), entered into force on 01. 02. 1998, Council Decision (96/737/EC) establishing a five-year programme for the preparation and implementation of measures and actions in a cost-effective manner in order to promote energy efficiency within the Community, and Article 10 thereof, which provides that this programme shall be open to the participation of associated Central European countries in accordance with the conditions set out in the Association Agreements on participation in Community programmes. 4. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION 4. 1 General objective Latvia’s participation in SAVE II will contribute to assist Latvia in preparing its future accession to the Union, which was the aim set by the Copenhagen European Council of June 1993 and confirmed by subsequent European Councils. Its participation will not only contribute towards the implementation of the provisions relating to economic and technical co-operation in the Europe Agreement but will also enable Latvia to familiarise itself with the procedures and methods used in Community programmes. The “Agenda 2000” communication from the Commission reiterates the importance of participating in Community programmes as a key feature of a reinforced pre-accession strategy. The decision-making process for the opening-up of programmes involves a decision by the Association Council between the Union and the associated country. This decision also lays down the practical conditions and arrangements for participating in the programmes. 11 The Europe Agreement with Latvia entered into force on 01. 02. 1998 and provides for Latvia’s participation in Community programmes, notably in the field of energy. SAVE II is one of a number of programmes opening up for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe from 1998 onwards. Latvia’s participation is expected from 1999 onwards. 4. 2 Period covered and arrangements for renewal For the duration of SAVE II, i. e. until 31 December 2000. 5. CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE 5. 1 Types of expenditure involved: 1. Non-compulsory expenditures (NCE) 2. Disassociated credits 5. 2 Type of revenue involved: Since Article 109 of the Europe Agreement stipulates that the Republic of Latvia itself will meet the costs resulting from its participation, it will be invited to transfer its contribution to item 6091 of the EU's budget receipts. 6. TYPE OF EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE AND DEGREE OF SUBVENTION FOR ACTIVITIES PROPOSED 100% (maximum) subsidy will be allowed on total eligible expenses for the following actions: - - - - information dissemination and other actions aimed at for studies, the implementation and completion of Community measures such as voluntary agreements, co-operative procurements, mandates to standardisation bodies, legislation, etc. taken to improve energy efficiency. for studies on the effects of energy pricing on energy efficiency and studies undertaken with a view to establishing energy efficiency as a criterion within Community programmes. for measures proposed by the Commission to foster the exchange of experience aimed at promoting better co-ordination between international, Community, national, regional and local activities by appropriate means for information dissemination. for monitoring of energy efficiency progress in the Community, in individual Member States and in Latvia; and for the evaluation and monitoring of actions and measures undertaken under the programme. 12 For the above actions with 100% subsidy, the Council Decision of 16 December 1996 (96/737/EC) may in and of itself be considered a call for tender. 50% (maximum) subsidy on total eligible expenses will be allowed for joint financing with other sources for the following actions: - for sectoral targeted pilot actions aimed at accelerating energy efficiency investment, and/or improving energy use patterns including specific actions in favour of energy management at the regional and urban level and in favour of greater cohesion between Member States and Latvia, and regions thereof, in the field of energy efficiency. - - for measures proposed to promote better co-ordination of activities for information dissemination. to foster the for measures, proposed otherwise than by the Commission, exchange of experience aimed at promoting better co-ordination between international, Community, national, regional and local activities by appropriate means for information dissemination. For the above actions, activities may be carried out by organisations or public and private enterprises as well as by existing Community-wide networks or temporary groupings of organisations and/or enterprises formed to accomplish the projects. For the above actions with 50% subsidy, a call for tender will be published in the Official Journal at the beginning of each year. The balance of the funding of the actions and measures with a 50% allowable subvention may be made up from either public or private sources or from a combination of the two. It is understood that all actions undertaken will have a clear and visible European dimension. As far as revenue is concerned, provision for Latvia’s contribution to cover the cost of its participation is made under item 6091. The revenue will be allocated to the items for expenditure on SAVE II and, where appropriate, to the relevant items of operating expenditure. The total revenue expected is given under item 7. 4. 7. FINANCIAL IMPACT 7. 1 Method of calculating total cost of operation for 1999 and 2000 financial years (link between individual costs and total cost). The calculation is based on the following preconditions: 13 - Latvia’s contribution to the financing of the activities referred to in the Europe Agreement is calculated according to the principle that the country bears the cost of participation itself. Heading 6091 has been created in the statement of budget revenue for that purpose; - the Community may decide on a case-by-case basis to pay a supplement to the partner country's contribution. The supplement may be in the form of a contribution under the national PHARE programme. Based on the Europe Agreement with Latvia, the financial and budgetary arrangements for SAVE II are as follows: the costs have been calculated on the basis of various parameters inherent in the programme, i. e. GDP, population, and total inland energy consumption. The cost of Latvia ´s participation in SAVE II from 1999 will be 57 942 EUR per year. Latvia shall pay 100% of the operational costs of its participation from its national budget. above-mentioned figure, an from which the The administrative nature amounting to 3 942 EUR - to be borne exclusively by Latvia - have to be deducted, are divided per year as follows: supplementary costs of 7. 2 Itemized breakdown of cost (in EUR) after the administrative costs have been deducted. SAVE II 1999 2000 Total of which Latvia of which Phare 54 000 54 000 108 000 108 000 0 7. 3 Operational expenditure on special studies, expert meetings, etc. , included in 10. 2. 14 7. 4 The foreseeable annual receipts are as follows (in EUR): Item 6091 1999 2000 Total Operational part 54 000 54 000 108 000 Administrative part 3 942 3 942 7 884 Total 57 942 57 942 115 884 8. FRAUD PREVENTION MEASURES; RESULTS OF MEASURES TAKEN All the Commission's contracts, agreements and other legal commitments provide for on-the-spot checks by the Commission and Court of Auditors. Among other things, the beneficiaries of the operations are obliged to file reports and financial statements. These are analysed from the point of view of their content and the eligibility of the expenditure in line with the objective of Community financing. The anti-fraud provisions of the basic budget headings apply to this heading too when adapted to the case of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. 9. ELEMENTS OF COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS 9. 1. Specific and quantified objectives The aim of opening up SAVE II to Latvia is to bring it the same benefits as the Member States of the Community already enjoy from this programme. The essential aim of Community action on energy efficiency should be to enable all participating countries to achieve in a cost-effective manner a prudent and rational use of energy resources in all sectors, to reduce the negative impact of energy use on the environment and to contribute to a better security of energy supply and to sustainable economic development. More specific strategies and aims of the programme are: - to strengthen the energy efficiency infrastructure in participating countries and to encourage investments in energy efficiency by private and public consumers and by industry. 15 -to stabilize and reduce CO2 emissions in accordance with Community goals - to develop and pursue actions leading to the strengthening of Community economic and social cohesion, and in particular to reduce disparities between levels of development of the various regions, wherein, energy should be an integral part of that effort. - to complement other programmes for the use and promotion of new energy technologies. - to improve the energy intensity of final consumption by a further one percentage point per annum over that which would have been otherwise attained. - to support local energy management programmes. - to ensure that actions and projects are subject to thorough prior appraisal and systematic monitoring and evaluation. -to insure that directives on energy efficiency such as those concerning labelling, minimum efficiency standards, CO2 reduction (93/76/EEC), etc. are implemented in accordance with procedures set forth in said directives. 9. 2. Grounds for the operation - Need for Community financial aid Given the magnitude of the cost of Latvia’s participation in SAVE II (under 100 000 EUR per year), financing of Latvia’s financial contribution by means of its Phare allocation is not required for the present. - Choice of ways and means Latvia’s integration in SAVE II will put it on a basis similar to the current EU Member States. The integration of Latvian nationals in Community networks will make a definite contribution to preparing Latvia for future membership. - Main factors of uncertainty which could affect the specific results of the operation Since projects will be selected according to qualitative criteria, it will only be possible to measure the real impact on the basis of Latvian institutions´ and firms' capacity to respond to the calls for proposal for actions to be launched by the Commission under the programme as set out in Section 6 of this financial statement. 9. 3 Monitoring and evaluation of the operation The monitoring and evaluation procedures included in SAVE II (notably in respect of evaluation, as included in the Article 5, Paragraph 2 of the Decision establishing the programme) will also cover operations financed for Latvian beneficiaries. This includes the submission by the selected beneficiaries of a report to the Commission on a six-monthly basis and on completion of the project. As described in Article 6 of this 16 document, certain monitoring and evaluation actions and measures are also eligible for programme subsidies. 10. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENDITURE The administrative resources required will actually be mobilised following the annual Commission Decision on the allocation of resources, taking account in particular of manpower and additional amounts granted by the budgetary authority. 10. 1 Effect on the number of posts (in man/years) Type of post Staff required to manage the operation Source duration Permanent posts Temporary posts Existing resources of the DG or department concerned Additional resources 1999-2000 Officials temporary staff or A B 0. 01 0. 01 0. 01 0. 01 Other (Technical assistance, A-7002) resources item 0. 01942 TOTAL 0. 02 0. 02 0. 01942 from 1999 17 10. 2 Overall financial impact of the human resources (in EUR) Total Method of calculation (total cost of the action for the period 1999-2000) Officials * 4 320 0. 02 man/year x 108,000 EUR x 2 years Temporary staff Other assistance, item A-7002) resources (Technical 3 884 0. 01942 man/year x 100,000 EUR x 2 years TOTAL 8 204 * By using existing resources required to manage the operation (calculation based on A-1, A-2, A-4, A-5, A-7).

Risposta data dalla sig. ra Wallstr(cid:246)m a nome della Commissione (13 dicembre 1999) La Commissione ringrazia l(cid:146)onorevole parlamentare per aver richiamato la sua attenzione sul problema specifico della presenza di arsenico in concentrazioni elevate nell(cid:146)acqua potabile della zona di Halastra presso Salonicco. La Commissione ha contattato informalmente le autorit(cid:224) greche chiedendo di commentare il fenomeno. Se non dovesse ricevere un riscontro soddisfacente assieme alla garanzia che la salute dei cittadini non Ł in pericolo, la Commissione non esiter(cid:224) ad avviare la procedura prevista dall(cid:146)articolo 226 (ex articolo 169) del trattato CE. Essa invita inoltre l(cid:146)onorevole parlamentare a fornirle ulteriori informazioni sul caso in oggetto, qualora ne fosse in possesso. Conformemente al disposto della direttiva 91/692/CEE, del 23 dicembre 1991, per la standardizzazione e la razionalizzazione delle relazioni relative all(cid:146)attuazione di talune direttive concernenti l(cid:146)ambiente (1), le autorit(cid:224) greche hanno presentato una relazione sulla qualit(cid:224) dell(cid:146)acqua potabile. La Commissione ha incaricato una societ(cid:224) privata di consulenze di svolgere uno studio sull(cid:146)attuazione da parte della Grecia della direttiva 80/778/CEE del Consiglio, del 15 luglio 1980, concernente la qualit(cid:224) delle acque destinate al consumo umano (2). Avendo da poco ricevuto la relazione di questo studio, la Commissione sta valutandone i contenuti per decidere quali azioni Ł opportuno intraprendere e poichØ la valutazione non Ł stata ancora conclusa, essa si riserva per ora di prendere posizione al riguardo. La nuova direttiva sulla qualit(cid:224) delle acque destinate al consumo umano (direttiva 98/83/CE del Consiglio del 3 novembre 1998 (3)) dovrebbe essere recepita nel diritto nazionale degli Stati membri entro il 25 dicembre 2000, ma alla Commissione risulta che sinora nessuno Stato membro ha proceduto in tal senso.

(2000/C 219 E/103) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-2083/99 di Roberta Angelilli (NI) alla Commissione (12 novembre 1999) Oggetto: Difesa del «Mulino Luiselli» in Cisterna di Latina L(cid:146)edificio denominato «Mulino Luiselli», ex convento di S. Antonio Abate, sito in Cisterna di Latina, Ł stato vincolato ai sensi della legge 1089/37 essendo esso una importante testimonianza storica di valore simbolico-religioso, nonchØ di archeologia industriale, contenente anche alcuni affreschi. Tale costruzione Ł stata tuttavia inserita all(cid:146)interno dei cosiddetti «Piani territoriali» con la deliberazione del Consiglio comunale n. 8 del 10. 2. 1997 al fine di realizzare un centro commerciale. 1. 8. 2000 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 219 E/87 Tale realizzazione, se avesse a compiersi, metterebbe in serio pericolo tale costruzione, snaturandolo e trasformandolo in modo radicale, assolutamente non rispettoso della sua storia e della sua importanza, anche simbolica, per la comunit(cid:224) cittadina. Ci(cid:242) premesso si interroga la Commissione per sapere: 1. 2. 3. se non ritiene opportuno verificare la congruit(cid:224) del progetto sopra esposto con l(cid:146)inserimento del Mulino Luiselli all(cid:146)interno dei Piani Territoriali; se non giudica il progetto potenzialmente contrario alle direttive europee che prescrivono la tutela e la valorizzazione del patrimonio artistico e storico delle nazioni; se esistono degli aiuti e dei finanziamenti per una acquisizione del Mulino da parte dell(cid:146)amministra- zione pubblica e per una sua ristrutturazione finalizzata ad un uso piø consono alla sua natura ed alla sua storia. Risposta della sig. ra Reding a nome della Commissione (1o dicembre 1999) La Commissione informa l(cid:146)onorevole parlamentare di non disporre delle competenze necessarie per accertare se il progetto relativo al «Mulino Luiselli» debba essere inserito nei cosiddetti «Piani territoriali» del consiglio comunale in quanto non esistono direttive comunitarie relative alla tutela ed alla valorizza- zione del patrimonio nazionale artistico e culturale. Le misure di tutela e conservazione del patrimonio culturale ed archeologico sono di esclusiva responsabilit(cid:224) delle autorit(cid:224) nazionali. Una volta adottati, i finanziamenti del programma «Cultura 2000» non saranno destinati all(cid:146)acquisizione di monumenti storici ma soltanto alla promozione della cooperazione europea nel campo della cultura e del patrimonio culturale, come risulta chiaramente dall(cid:146)articolo 151 (ex 128) del trattato CE.

November 1999) Betrifft: Abschaltung des Atomkraftwerks Bohunice Die Slowakische Regierung hat mit einem Beschlu(cid:223) aus dem Jahre 1994 die Schlie(cid:223)ung der beiden V-1- Reaktoren des AKW Bohunice im Jahr 2000 erkl(cid:228)rt. Dies wurde auch in die Agenda 2000 aufgenommen. Ende September hat sie diesen Beschlu(cid:223) zur(cid:252)ckgenommen und einen neuen Zeitplan, der eine Schlie(cid:223)ung erst im Jahr 2008 vorsieht, vorgelegt. Kommissar G(cid:252)nther Verheugen hat diese Entscheidung begr(cid:252)(cid:223)t. In der Stellungnahme zum Antrag der Slowakei auf Beitritt zur EU h(cid:228)lt die Kommission fest, da(cid:223) nach einer Phase der Modernisierung zur Verbesserung des Sicherheitsniveaus (bis 1999) der Reaktor des Im Rahmen der Beitrittspartnerschaft verpflichtet sich die Prototyps A1 endg(cid:252)ltig stillgelegt wird. Slowakische Republik zur Umsetzung eines realistischen Programmes f(cid:252)r die Abschaltung des Atomkraft- werks von Bohunice. Im Bericht der Kommission vom November 1998 (cid:252)ber die Fortschritte der Slowakei auf dem Weg zum Beitritt wird bereits kritisch darauf hingewiesen, da(cid:223) ein l(cid:228)ngerfristiger Betrieb nach 1999 weder mit der Beitrittspartnerschaft noch mit dem Beschlu(cid:223) der slowakischen Regierung von 1994 in Einklang steht. Kann die Kommission daher folgende Fragen beantworten: 1. Wie bewertet die Kommission die neuesten Zeitpl(cid:228)ne der slowakischen Regierung im Hinblick auf den Beitritt zur Europ(cid:228)ischen Union? 2. Wird die Kommission zuk(cid:252)nftig besonderes Augenmerk auf die Umsetzung des in der Beitrittspartner- schaft festgelegten Zeitplanes legen und gegebenenfalls erforderliche Ma(cid:223)nahmen ergreifen? Antwort von Herrn Verheugen im Namen der Kommission (9. Dezember 1999) Nach den Definitionen der Gruppe der sieben wichtigsten Industriestaaten auf ihrem Treffen von 1992 in M(cid:252)nchen gibt es in Bohunice zwei WWER 440/230-Reaktoren (Bl(cid:246)cke 1 und 2 in Bohunice V1), die zu angemessenen Kosten nicht nachr(cid:252)stbar sind, und zwei WWER 440/213-Reaktoren (Bl(cid:246)cke 3 und 4 in Bohunice V2), die nachr(cid:252)stbar sind. Der alte A1-Reaktor in Bohunice wurde 1977 abgeschaltet und wird zur Zeit stillgelegt. Der urspr(cid:252)ngliche Zeitplan f(cid:252)r die Bl(cid:246)cke 1 und 2 in Bohunice V1 war f(cid:252)r 2008 bzw. 2010 anberaumt. In den vergangenen Jahren hat die slowakische Regierung einen erheblichen Geldbetrag (rund 200 Mio. Euro) investiert und die Sicherheitsnormen von Bohunice V1 (Bl(cid:246)cke 1 und 2) erh(cid:246)ht, damit sein Betrieb bis 2010-2012 oder sogar dar(cid:252)ber hinaus zugelassen wird. Trotz dieser Investitionen wurde beschlossen, in Bohunice V1 Block 1 (2006) und Block 2 (2008) stillzulegen. Die Kommission h(cid:228)lt diese Daten f(cid:252)r realistisch und glaubw(cid:252)rdig. Sie wird sich nachdr(cid:252)cklich bem(cid:252)hen, die Einhaltung dieser Stillegungsdaten zu gew(cid:228)hrleisten. In der Beitrittspartnerschaft von 1999 wird eindeutig darauf hingewiesen, da(cid:223) die Vorbereitung der Schlie(cid:223)ung und Stillegung von Bohunice V1 eine Schl(cid:252)sselpriorit(cid:228)t ist. Die Kommission wird die Ent- wicklungen bez(cid:252)glich Bohunice V1 mit besonderer Aufmerksamkeit verfolgen. Sie ist bereit, die slowaki- schen Beh(cid:246)rden zu unterst(cid:252)tzen und eng mit ihnen zusammenzuarbeiten, um eine fr(cid:252)hzeitige Schlie(cid:223)ung und Stillegung der Reaktoren von Bohunice V1, insbesondere durch die Bereitstellung von finanzieller Hilfe und Fachwissen, zu erreichen. Im Rahmen sowohl der Heranf(cid:252)hrungsinstrumente als auch des Beitritts- prozesses werden die Fortschritte regelm(cid:228)(cid:223)ig beurteilt werden.

De Commissie heeft recentelijk het handboek (cid:132)Cycling: the way ahead for towns and cities(cid:148) (2) (fietsen in de stad, de weg naar de toekomst) gepubliceerd. Deze publicatie voor plaatselijke besluitvormers geeft diverse voorbeelden van maatregelen ter bevordering van het fietsgebruik en onderstreept de voordelen die voor het zakenleven zijn verbonden aan het gebruik van de fiets. In haar hoedanigheid van werkgever bevordert de Commissie via haar in 1997 aangevangen milieu- vriendelijke bestuur het gebruik van duurzame vervoersmiddelen in de plaats van de eigen auto. In het kader van dit beleid komen er in de parkeergarages fietsenrekken en fietspaden waardoor minder parkeer- plaatsen overblijven voor de auto(cid:146)s. Tot dusver is op die manier plaats gemaakt voor 250 fietsen. (1) Zie de mededeling (cid:132)Ontwikkeling van het Citizens(cid:146) Network(cid:148): COM(98) 431 def.

(2000/C 303 E/023) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-2079/99 van Giles Chichester (PPE-DE) aan de Commissie (12 november 1999) Betreft: EU-wetgeving en vrijstellingen voor het MKB De belangrijke bijdrage die MKB(cid:146)s leveren aan de werkgelegenheid, groei, concurrentievermogen wordt algemeen erkend. Commissaris Liikanen sprak zich in september tijdens de hoorzitting onomwonden uit voor een coherente ondernemingsstrategie, met name voor het creºren van een Europees bedrijfsklimaat en de ondersteuning van het MKB als sector die de meeste werkgelegenheid schept. Het opzetten van de task force BEST die voorstellen moet doen voor verbetering van de kwaliteit van de wetgeving en afschaffing van onnodige regelgeving voor bedrijven wordt toegejuicht. Maar er is nog steeds veel hinderlijke regelgeving. Is de Commissie ervan op de hoogte dat de VS bekend gemaakt heeft in welke mate kleine bedrijven in de VS vrijgesteld zijn van regelgeving op het gebied van werkgelegenheid? Beschikt de Commissie over vergelijkbare informatie? Zo neen, gaat de Commissie, in samenwerking met de task force BEST, het goede voorbeeld van de VS volgen en een volledige lijst opstellen van alle beleidsterreinen waarop de wetgeving gevolgen heeft voor het MKB? Is er een lijst van wetgeving met vrijstellingen voor het MKB? Zo neen, waarom niet? Gaat de Commissie alle wetgeving op het gebied van ondernemen en werkgelegenheid na om te beoordelen of meer vrijstellingen voor het MKB mogelijk zijn? Is de Commissie van plan in de tussentijd, binnen twee maanden, elk wetgevingsonderdeel te evalueren dat gevolgen heeft voor het bedrijfsleven per bedrijfssoort, omzet, aantal werknemers enz. ? Antwoord van de heer Liikanen namens de Commissie (20 januari 2000) In de regelgeving moet een evenwicht tussen zeer verschillende belangen worden nagestreefd. Het bedrijfsleven in de Gemeenschap moet kunnen concurreren. Vooral het midden- en kleinbedrijf (MKB) heeft behoefte aan een ondernemingsklimaat waarin volop ruimte is voor innovatie, groei en het scheppen van nieuwe banen. De Commissie stelt de suggesties van het geachte parlementslid met betrekking tot vereenvoudiging en vrijstellingen voor het MKB op prijs. In het nieuwe Directoraat-generaal Ondernemingen zullen de aspecten van een betere regelgeving en een administratieve vereenvoudiging een wezenlijke rol spelen. Er zal een specifieke eenheid worden opgericht voor de vereenvoudiging van het ondernemingsklimaat op regelgevingsgebied en de beperking van de administratieve belasting voor het MKB. EØn van de belang- C 303 E/28 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 24. 10. 2000 rijkste taken van deze eenheid is de evaluatie van de gevolgen van de communautaire wetgeving voor de ondernemingen, onder meer via een verbeterd systeem ter beoordeling van het effect van communautaire wetgeving op het bedrijfsleven en via de rechtstreekse raadpleging van ondernemingen. Bij de verbetering van de beoordeling van de effecten van nieuwe regelgeving zal de Commissie onder meer voortbouwen op het werk van de Organisatie voor Economische Samenwerking en Ontwikkeling (OESO) op het gebied van de hervorming van regelgeving en op voorbeelden van goede praktijken uit andere landen. De eenheid zal tevens rekening houden met de bestaande praktijken in de Verenigde Staten met het oog op de ontwikke- ling van geschikte informatie-instrumenten in de Commissie. Ook het in het BEST-actieplan voorziene werk ter verbetering van arbeidsovereenkomsten en arbeidsvoorwaarden zal zowel door de lidstaten als door de Commissie worden voortgezet. De Commissie zal ook het idee van een lijst van de wetgeving die vrijstellingen voor micro-ondernemingen omvat, in overweging nemen. De bestaande bedrijfseffectrapportage omvat reeds informatie over afwijkin- gen en drempels voor bepaalde ondernemingen, in het bijzonder kleine ondernemingen. De Commissie neemt nota van het verzoek van het Parlement om de resultaten van de bedrijfseffectrap- portages te publiceren. Deze zijn reeds beschikbaar als onderdeel van de COM-documentatie en derhalve toegankelijk voor het publiek. De Commissie beheert ook twee andere initiatieven die erop gericht zijn de kwaliteit van het regelgevings- klimaat waarin de Europese bedrijven actief zijn, te verbeteren. In het actieprogramma voor de interne markt werd de uitvoering van het proefproject inzake het (cid:132)business test panel(cid:148) in het vooruitzicht gesteld. Het panel bestaat uit Europese vertegenwoordigers van het bedrijfsleven die de voorgestelde nieuwe is erop gericht de communautaire wetgeving evalueren. Een groot deel van het werk van het panel nalevingskosten en de waarschijnlijke administratieve belasting van de voorgestelde wetgeving vast te stellen. Het nieuwe van deze benadering ligt in de rechtstreekse feedback van het bedrijfsleven. Het testpanel is tot nu toe driemaal geraadpleegd en de algemene doeltreffendheid ervan zal begin 2000 worden geºvalueerd. Het SLIM-initiatief werd in 1996 opgezet met als doel manieren te vinden om de wetgeving inzake de interne markt te vereenvoudigen. Sindsdien zijn 14 verschillende wetgevingsgebieden geºvalueerd en hebben SLIM-teams (bestaande uit nationale deskundigen en gebruikers) een uitgebreide reeks aanbevelin- gen gedaan, waaronder aanbevelingen die de kosten en de administratieve belasting ten gevolge van initiatief door de communautaire regelgeving verminderen. Momenteel wordt de werking van het Commissie onderzocht teneinde haar beter in staat te stellen aanbevelingen en voorstellen te doen die erop gericht zijn de tenuitvoerlegging van de regels voor de interne markt te verbeteren, de procedures te vereenvoudigen en de kosten en administratieve belasting van de ondernemingen te verminderen. (2000/C 303 E/024) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-2119/99 van Jaime Valdivielso de CuØ (PPE-DE) aan de Commissie (22 november 1999) Betreft: Buitenlandse betrekkingen De regering van de Verenigde Staten denkt dat het millenniumprobleem voor complicaties kan zorgen bij sommige secundaire beveiligingssystemen van de Russische kerncentrales. Ter voorkoming van rampen werken de Verenigde Staten en Rusland samen aan beveiligingsplannen voor hun centrales. Welke speciale programma(cid:146)s heeft de Commissie opgesteld waar Europa meer belang heeft dan de VS bij de veiligheid van deze centrales? Antwoord van de heer Patten namens de Commissie (3 januari 2000) De Commissie is zich zeer bewust van de implicaties van het jaar 2000 (Y2K) voor de kerncentrales in de Nieuwe Onafhankelijke Staten (NOS) en de landen van Midden- en Oost-Europa (LMOE). Ondanks het feit dat het de Gemeenschap ontbreekt aan de bevoegdheid om op dit gebied rechtstreeks initiatieven de nemen, en de handicap van de nog schaarse resterende tijd, heeft de Commissie zich zoals de Verenigde Staten ingespannen om Rusland en de omliggende landen te helpen het hoofd bieden aan de mogelijke Y2K-problemen

Deze benaming mag alleen worden gebruikt als het productdossier wordt gevolgd. Om de afzet mogelĳk te maken van de voorraad producten die niet aan het productdossier beantwoorden, lĳkt het wenselĳk te voorzien in een overgangsperiode van drie maanden. (1) (2) (3) Spanje heeft overeenkomstig artikel 7 van Verordening (EEG) nr. 2082/92 bĳ de Commissie een aanvraag inge- diend om een benaming als specificiteitscertificering te registreren. Voor producten met geregistreerde benamingen mag met name gebruik worden gemaakt van de vermelding „gegarandeerde traditionele specialiteit”, die voor derge- lĳke producten is gereserveerd. Nadat de in de bĳlage bĳ deze verordening opgenomen benaming in het Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeen- schappen (2) was bekendgemaakt, is bĳ de Commissie bezwaar aangetekend in de zin van artikel 8 van die verordening, maar nadat passende uitleg was verstrekt, is ingetrokken. Er moet namelĳk worden dit bezwaar verduidelĳkt dat de term „Serrano” moet worden beschouwd als een op zich zelf specifieke term als bedoeld in artikel 5, lid 1, eerste streepje, van Verorde- ning (EEG) nr. 2082/92 en bĳgevolg onvertaalbaar is; hĳ moet dus als dusdanig worden gebruikt.

text: 1. 8. 2000 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen C 219 E/81 (2000/C 219 E/096) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-2064/99 van Olivier Dupuis (TDI) aan de Commissie (12 november 1999) Betreft: Vertolking van Midden- en Oost-Europese talen In het kader van de betrekkingen van de Europese Unie met derde landen moeten de instellingen van de Unie, en met name de Commissie, de Raad en het Parlement veelvuldig vergaderingen organiseren en bijwonen met gesprekspartners die een andere taal spreken dan de talen van de Europese Unie. In de afgelopen jaren, met name na de ineenstorting van de Sovjet-Unie en voormalig Joegoslaviº, hebben dergelijke situaties zich steeds vaker voorgedaan. Helaas komt het de kwaliteit van deze vergaderingen niet ten goede wanneer er geen opgeleide tolken beschikbaar zijn, zowel in de Unie als in de derde landen, of wanneer de vereiste technische infrastructuur ontbreekt. Tijdens de vergaderingen met vertegenwoordigers van de meerderheid van deze landen (cid:129) zowel in de communautaire vergaderplaatsen als in de derde landen (cid:129) wordt de vertolking in en uit de vreemde taal van de gesprekspartners vaak verzorgd door tolken uit de betreffende derde landen. Is de Commissie niet van oordeel dat het niet alleen zinvol is maar zelfs dringend noodzakelijk, met name om het rendement van deze uiterst kostbare vergaderingen te verhogen, om ad hoc maatregelen te treffen teneinde de vereiste structuren in deze derde landen te financieren, en een bestand te creºren van tolken van de Unie (in samenwerking met de diensten van Raad, Commissie en Parlement) om, indien nodig, voor vertolking uit/naar de talen van de verschillende derde landen te zorgen (met name het Macedonisch, Albanees, Kroatisch, Servisch, Armeens, Georgisch, Azerbeidzjaans, Kazachs, Turkmeens, Tadzjieks, Oez- beeks, Kirgizisch en Mongools)? Antwoord van de heer Kinnock namens de Commissie (22 december 1999) De Commissie organiseert sinds 1990 selectietests voor freelance tolken in de talen van de landen van Midden- en Oost-Europa (LMOE). Voor alle talen van de LMOE zijn er momenteel circa 200 erkende tolken. Hierdoor kan de vertolking worden verzorgd voor alle vergaderingen die georganiseerd worden in verband met de verwachte uitbreiding. Aanzienlijke inspanningen zijn geleverd met behulp van TAIEX (Bureau voor de uitwisseling van informatie inzake technische bijstand) en andere organisaties, teneinde een bijdrage te leveren aan de verbetering van de opleiding van tolken in de kandidaat-lidstaten. De werkzaamheden behelzen onderwijs en technische en financiºle steun voor de opleiding van en de verstrekking van 80 beurzen aan studenten die een tolkenopleiding volgen in de Midden- en Oost-Europese talen. Bovendien worden personeelsleden van de Commissie en freelance tolken in staat gesteld cursussen te volgen in deze talen. Lijsten van erkende tolken zijn beschikbaar voor het Albanees en de talen van voormalig Joegoslaviº behalve het Sloveens, dat immers de taal van een kandidaat-lidstaat is. Het aantal tolken in de talen van de voormalige Sovjet-Unie, behalve het Russisch, is zeer gering. De Commissie heeft slechts een beperkte lijst, en zij werkt bij specifieke verzoeken tevens samen met de autoriteiten van de betrokken landen of met de delegaties van de Commissie in de betrokken plaatsen. De Commissie bestudeert verschillende mogelijkheden om te zorgen voor een algemene aanpak van problemen in verband met de vertolking uit/in de talen van deze landen. Hierbij onderzoekt zij tevens de kansen op een multiplier effect. De Commissie zal te gelegener tijd verslag uitbrengen van haar conclusies uit deze studies

text: 1. 8. 2000 FR Journal officiel des CommunautØs europØennes C 219 E/87 Ce projet, s(cid:146)il Øtait concrØtisØ, mettrait dangereusement en pØril la construction, en la dØnaturant et la transformant d(cid:146)une fa(cid:231)on radicale qui ne respecterait absolument pas son histoire et son importance, fßt-elle symbolique, pour la communautØ de la ville. Cela Øtant, les questions suivantes sont posØes (cid:224) la Commission: 1. n(cid:146)estime-t-elle pas opportun de vØrifier la compatibilitØ du projet exposØ ci-dessus avec l(cid:146)insertion du Mulino Luiselli dans le cadre des plans territoriaux? 2. ne juge-t-elle pas que le projet est potentiellement en contradiction avec les directives europØennes qui prescrivent la protection et la valorisation du patrimoine artistique et historique des nations? 3. existe-t-il des aides et des financements pour une acquisition du Mulino par l(cid:146)administration publique et pour sa restructuration en vue d(cid:146)un usage plus conforme (cid:224) sa nature et (cid:224) son histoire? RØponse donnØe par Mme Reding au nom de la Commission (1er dØcembre 1999) La Commission tient (cid:224) informer l(cid:146)Honorable Parlementaire qu(cid:146)elle n(cid:146)est pas compØtente pour vØrifier si le projet concernant le b(cid:226)timent «Mulino Luiselli» doit Œtre inclus dans les plans territoriaux du conseil communal, dans la mesure oø il n(cid:146)existe aucune directive communautaire relative (cid:224) la protection et la valorisation du patrimoine artistique et historique national. Les mesures concernant la protection et la conservation du patrimoine culturel et architectural relŁvent de la compØtence exclusive des autoritØs nationales. Une fois approuvØs, les financements dans le cadre du programme «Culture 2000» ne seront pas destinØs (cid:224) couvrir l(cid:146)acquisition de monuments historiques, mais uniquement (cid:224) encourager la coopØration europØenne dans le domaine de la culture et du patrimoine culturel, ainsi que le dispose clairement l(cid:146)article 151 (ex-article 128) du traitØ CE. (2000/C 219 E/104) QUESTION (cid:201)CRITE E-2084/99 posØe par Roberta Angelilli (NI) (cid:224) la Commission (12 novembre 1999) Objet: Parking de Via Sacchi (cid:224) Rome et non-transposition des rŁgles en matiŁre de TVA par la RØgion Latium La RØgion Latium a rØcemment bloquØ les travaux relatifs (cid:224) la construction d(cid:146)un grand parking souterrain dans la ville de Rome, Via Sacchi, dans un secteur particuliŁrement dØlicat tant d(cid:146)un point de vue hydrologique qu(cid:146)en raison de la prØsence de nombreux sites archØologiques. Les travaux du grand parking qui prØvoit une dizaine de niveaux souterrains ont ØtØ suspendus par l(cid:146)Øchevin rØgional de l(cid:146)environnement, bien que le parking soit dØj(cid:224) implantØ, en raison de l(cid:146)absence d(cid:146)une Øvaluation adØquate de son impact sur l(cid:146)environnement et (cid:224) la suite de nombreuses protestations Ømanant des rØsidents qui soulignaient les dangers pour la stabilitØ et la sØcuritØ des Ødifices prØexistants. Cela Øtant, la Commission est invitØe (cid:224) rØpondre aux questions suivantes: 1. n(cid:146)estime-t-elle pas que ce qui s(cid:146)est passØ reprØsente la ØniŁme dØmonstration de l(cid:146)urgence d(cid:146)une transposition par la RØgion Latium des rŁgles nationales italiennes, lesquelles ont (cid:224) leur tour transposØ la directive 85/337/CEE (1) et les modifications ultØrieures? 2. la non-transposition par la RØgion Latium et, en fait, la non-application de la directive susmentionnØe, ne doit-elle pas Œtre considØrØe comme une transposition insuffisante par les autoritØs italiennes? 3. n(cid:146)estime-t-elle pas opportun que soit vØrifiØ que le projet en question ne rentre pas dans les catØgories ØnumØrØes dans la directive 85/337/CEE pour lesquelles est prØvue l(cid:146)obligation d(cid:146)une Øvaluation de l(cid:146)impact sur l(cid:146)environnement? 4. peut-elle porter un jugement d(cid:146)ordre gØnØral sur l(cid:146)affaire?

C 219 E/88 Journal officiel des CommunautØs europØennes FR 1. 8. 2000 RØponse donnØe par Mme Wallstr(cid:246)m au nom de la Commission (9 dØcembre 1999) Sur la base des informations communiquØes par l(cid:146)Honorable Parlementaire, la Commission considŁre qu(cid:146)il n(cid:146)y a actuellement aucune raison d(cid:146)intervenir dans ce cas particulier. Les autoritØs rØgionales, selon les renseignements fournis par l(cid:146)Honorable Parlementaire, ont notamment suspendu les travaux consacrØs au projet car ils ne faisaient pas l(cid:146)objet d(cid:146)une procØdure d(cid:146)Øtude d(cid:146)impact sur l(cid:146)environnement. Il semble donc qu(cid:146)une action soit en cours au niveau national afin d(cid:146)assurer le respect de toute obligation susceptible d(cid:146)Œtre dØfinie dans le cadre de la directive no 85/337/CEE, du 27 juin 1985, concernant l(cid:146)Øvaluation des incidences de certains projets publics et privØs sur l(cid:146) environnement. En ce qui concerne la question gØnØrale portant sur la mise en (cid:156)uvre de la directive no 85/337/CEE sur le territoire de la rØgion du Latium, il convient d(cid:146)observer que cette rØgion, par «Deliberazione della giunta regionale 30 giugno 1998 n. 3099», a mis en vigueur au niveau rØgional le «Decreto del Presidente della Repubblica 12 aprile 1996 atto di in materia di valutazione di les projets ØnumØrØs dans l(cid:146)annexe II de la directive no 85/337/CEE pour lesquels les rØgions sont jugØes compØtentes dans le systŁme juridique italien. C(cid:146)est pourquoi la partie de cette directive pour laquelle les rØgions sont ØtØ jugØes compØtentes dans le systŁme juridique italien doit Œtre considØrØe comme mise en (cid:156)uvre et appliquØe dans la rØgion du Latium. La Commission examine actuellement, dans le cadre d(cid:146)une procØdure d(cid:146)infraction, la conformitØ de la transposition gØnØrale de la directive no 85/337/CEE au niveau rØgional en Italie. indirizzo e coordinamento concernente disposizioni les exigences concernant impatto ambientale», qui dØfinit (2000/C 219 E/105) QUESTION (cid:201)CRITE E-2085/99 posØe par Roberta Angelilli (NI) (cid:224) la Commission (12 novembre 1999) Objet: NØgation de droits de propriØtØ dans le parc national des Abruzzes L(cid:146)Office autonome du parc national des Abruzzes a rØcemment obtenu des financements dans le cadre du Fonds europØen de dØveloppement rØgional pour les Abruzzes, mesure 3. 1, action b, secteur urbanistique, biens environnementaux et parcs et rØserves naturelles. Dans la commune de Civitella Alfadena, on n(cid:146)a cependant tenu aucun compte des mesures de protection liØes (cid:224) ces financements des droits de propriØtØ prØ-acquis par certains citoyens dont les voies d(cid:146)accŁs (cid:224) leur habitation ont ØtØ fermØes, bien qu(cid:146)ils soient en possession de toutes les autorisations lØgales. Cela Øtant, la Commission est invitØe (cid:224) rØpondre aux questions suivantes: 1. n(cid:146)estime-t-elle pas que cet Øtat de choses lŁse le droit de propriØtØ des citoyens? 2. n(cid:146)estime-t-elle pas que la nØgation du droit de propriØtØ est en contradiction avec l(cid:146)esprit des financements du FEDER? 3. n(cid:146)estime-t-elle pas opportun de demander (cid:224) la commune de Civitella Alfadena des Øclaircissements sur les faits exposØs ci-dessus? 4. peut-elle porter un jugement d(cid:146)ordre gØnØral sur l(cid:146)affaire?
