text: C 280 E/164 De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende DA 3. 10. 2000 Af fremtr(cid:230)dende seismologers seneste undersłgelser, bl. a. Karl Buckthought fra Earthquake Forecasts Incorporation, fremg(cid:229)r det, at der er 50 % mulighed for, at Tyrkiet inden for de kommende 40 (cid:229)r vil blive ramt af et jordsk(cid:230)lv af styrke 7 p(cid:229) Richterskalaen, hvilket vil fłre til en fuldst(cid:230)ndig łdel(cid:230)ggelse af reaktoren og tab af millioner af menneskeliv. Kan R(cid:229)det p(cid:229) baggrund af ovenn(cid:230)vnte oplysninger og fłlgerne af de seneste katastrofale jordsk(cid:230)lv oplyse, hvorledes det har til hensigt at gribe ind for at sikre, at Tyrkiet f(cid:229)r łkonomisk mulighed for at udvikle alternative energikilder, og at opfłrelsen af atomkraftv(cid:230)rket bliver skrinlagt? Svar (16. marts 2000) R(cid:229)det er fuldt ud klar over betydningen af nuklear sikkerhed i tredjelande og har indledt en r(cid:230)kke aktioner, is(cid:230)r gennem bistandsprogrammer. Den 7. december 1998 vedtog R(cid:229)det nogle konklusioner om nuklear til sikkerhed i ansłgerlandene om, at nuklear sikkerhed skal till(cid:230)gges stor betydning. forbindelse med udvidelsen af Den Europ(cid:230)iske Union (1), som sender et klart signal R(cid:229)det er enigt med det (cid:230)rede parlamentsmedlem i, at det er nłdvendigt at fremme udviklingen af vedvarende energikilder. I den forbindelse understreger det, at udviklingen af vedvarende energikilder i landene i Middelhavsomr(cid:229)det, herunder Tyrkiet, hovedsagelig fremmes gennem samarbejde inden for rammerne af Euro-Middelhavs-partnerskabet og dets vigtigste finansielle instrument, Meda-programmet, og gennem Synergy-programmet, som er et af s(cid:230)rprogrammerne p(cid:229) det internationale omr(cid:229)de under det fler(cid:229)rige rammeprogram for aktioner inden for energisektoren (2). Begge programmer indeholder bestemmelser om aktioner, som bidrager til at opfylde de energipolitiske m(cid:229)ls(cid:230)tninger om forsyningssikkerhed, konkurrenceevne og miljłbeskyttelse, og omfatter s(cid:230)rlige foran- staltninger til udvikling af vedvarende energikilder. Det er Kommissionen, der har ansvaret for at gennem- fłre disse programmer. (1) Dok. 13677/98 (Presse 431 (cid:129) G). (2) EFT L 7 af 13. 1. 1999, s. 16. (2000/C 280 E/187) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-0036/00 af Olivier Dupuis (TDI) til Kommissionen (19. januar 2000) Om: Projekt om en olierłrledning fra Constanta til Trieste Ifłlge oplysninger i flere nyhedsorganer er to projekter om anl(cid:230)g af en olierłrledning at forbinde den rum(cid:230)nske havneby Constanta med den italienske havneby Trieste ved at blive undersłgt. Det fłrste projekt gennemg(cid:229)s af det italienske selskab ENI og det andet af et amerikansk konsortium. Olierłrled- ningen, som skal passere gennem Ungarn og Slovenien, skal ogs(cid:229) forsyne disse to lande, der har słgt om EU-medlemskab. Mener Kommissionen ikke, at anl(cid:230)gget af en s(cid:229)dan olierłrledning błr fremmes, is(cid:230)r p(cid:229) baggrund af olieforureningen i VendØe og Bosporusstr(cid:230)det for nylig og ikke mindst for at bryde Transkaukasiens isolation, sprede de central- og łsteurop(cid:230)iske landes energiforsyningsveje og udvikle havnene i Supsa og Constanta. Har Kommissionen allerede taget eller agter den at tr(cid:230)ffe foranstaltninger herom? 3. 10. 2000 DA De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende C 280 E/165 Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Christopher Patten (23. februar 2000) Kommissionen erkender betydningen af olierłrledningsprojektet mellem Constanta og Trieste. Det vil kunne formindske miljłrisikoen i forbindelse med olietransporter gennem Bosporus og medvirke til en spredning af de sydłsteurop(cid:230)iske landes energiforsyning ved at give dem adgang til ressourcerne i omr(cid:229)det omkring Det Kaspiske Hav, bl. a. via den Trans-Kaukasiske korridor og havnebyerne p(cid:229) Sortehavets vestkyst, herunder oliehavnen i Constanta. Kommissionen erindrer om F(cid:230)llesskabets standpunkt hvad ang(cid:229)r betydningen af ressourcerne i omr(cid:229)det omkring Det Kaspiske Hav for den europ(cid:230)iske energiforsyning, behovet for et vist antal sikre forbindel- sesveje til de europ(cid:230)iske og internationale markeder, samt vigtigheden af, at disse veje bygges af de p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende investorer p(cid:229) grundlag af kommercielle kriterier. P(cid:229) denne baggrund og i lyset af den kommende udvidelse af F(cid:230)llesskabet samt behovet for en sikker energiforsyning iv(cid:230)rksatte Kommissionen allerede i 1995 et mellemstatligt program for teknisk bistand (Inogate-Interstate Oil and Gas transport to Europe), idet den erkendte nłdvendigheden af at fremme en landene i Mellem- og integrering af olietransportinfrastrukturen mellem det (cid:216)steuropa og F(cid:230)llesskabet. tidligere Sovjetunionen, Programmet har til form(cid:229)l at udvikle det regionale samarbejde mellem landene i disse omr(cid:229)der for at skabe de nłdvendige betingelser for at tiltr(cid:230)kke offentlige og private investeringer med henblik p(cid:229) sanering og modernisering af de eksisterende infrastrukturer og p(cid:229) udvikling af nye forbindelsesveje, der vil v(cid:230)re teknisk og łkonomisk levedygtige og miljłm(cid:230)ssigt acceptable. Programmet har gjort det muligt at udarbejde en ny institutionel ordning for gr(cid:230)nseoverskridende olietransport i overensstemmelse med de internationale normer (Inogate Umbrella Agreement). Denne ordning er hidtil blevet undertegnet af regeringsrepr(cid:230)sentanter fra seksten lande i Centralasien, Kaukasus, Mellem- og (cid:216)steuropa (ansłgerlande, herunder Rum(cid:230)nien) og p(cid:229) Balkan. Gennem dette program har det v(cid:230)ret muligt at forel(cid:230)gge forskellige projekter for en forbindelse mellem omr(cid:229)det omkring Det Kaspiske Hav og de europ(cid:230)iske markeder via den trans-kaukasiske korridor, havnen i Supsa og havnene p(cid:229) Sortehavets vestkyst, navnlig projekterne Constanta-Trieste, Odessa-Gdansk, Burgas- Alexandropoulis, Burgas-Vlore. Kommissionen erkender, at projektet Constanta-Trieste har betydning for markederne i Sydłsteuropa, uden at dette dog skal opfattes som et udtryk for, at den foretr(cid:230)kker dette projekt. Som led i Inogate-aftalen har de rum(cid:230)nske myndigheder til hensigt i n(cid:230)r fremtid at organisere et młde mellem industriministrene fra de lande, som eventuelt kan blive berłrt af korridoren, med henblik p(cid:229) at fastl(cid:230)gge de institutionelle og tekniske betingelser forud for forel(cid:230)ggelsen af det endelige projekt for de berłrte private og institutionelle investorer. Kommissionen er parat til at yde teknisk bistand via Inogate-programmet til regeringerne i Rum(cid:230)nien og de lande, der vil kunne blive inddraget i projektet, med henblik p(cid:229) dets forberedelse og eventuelle gennemfłrelse. (2000/C 280 E/188) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL P-0056/00 af Avril Doyle (PPE-DE) til Kommissionen (18. januar 2000) Om: Valget af kulturelle og etniske kategorier p(cid:229) spłrgeskema vedrłrende lige muligheder Hvad er Kommissionens syn p(cid:229) indholdet af det spłrgeskema til »Vurdering af politikken for lige muligheder«, som for nylig blev omdelt af den europ(cid:230)iske afdeling af et stort politisk parti, der anvendte fłlgende kategorier for kulturel og etnisk oprindelse »efter anbefaling fra den britiske kommission for racelighed«: hvid, sort (cid:129) Vestindien, sort (cid:129) Afrika, sort (cid:129) andet, inder, irer, pakistaner, bangladesher, kineser, asiat, andet. Hvorfor er der en s(cid:230)rlig kategori for »irere«, n(cid:229)r der samtidig er en kategori for »hvide« (mens ingen andre EU-medlemsstater er skłnnet tilstr(cid:230)kkelig anderledes til at f(cid:229) deres egen kategori)? Er det overhovedet lovligt at kr(cid:230)ve, at borgere fra Irland skal opfłre sig selv som anderledes p(cid:229) et s(cid:229)dant spłrgeskema?

European Parliament resolution containing the comments which form an integral part of the deci- sion giving discharge to the Commission for the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the 1997 financial year The European Parliament, 3 having regard to Article 276 of the EC Treaty, 3 having regard to Article 89(7) of the Financial Regulation, pursuant to which each Community insti- tution is required to take all appropriate steps to act on the comments appearing in the decisions giving discharge, 3 having regard to paragraph 8 of the same article, which requires the institutions to report, at the request of the European Parliament, on the measures taken in the light of these comments and parti- cularly on the instructions given to those of their departments which are responsible for the imple- mentation of the budget, 3 having regard to the report of the Court of Auditors for the 1997 financial year (1) and the special reports pertaining to it, accompanied by the institutions’ replies, 3 having regard to the Council recommendation of 15 March 1999 (C4-0156/1999), 3 having regard to its resolution of 4 May 1999 (2) informing the Commission of the reasons for post- poning the discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the 1997 financial year, 3 having regard to Rules 93 and 173 of and Annex V to its Rules of Procedure, 3 having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy (A5-0004/2000), A. whereas the turnout in European elections is declining systematically in many Member States, B. whereas at the time of the European elections allegations of fraud, mismanagement and nepotism in the European institutions were the subject of public debate in several Member States, C. whereas it decided to postpone the discharge for the 1997 financial year pending commitments from the new Commission regarding reform, D. whereas with regard to subjects which are essential to the reform of the Commission, criticisms were expressed and measures called for in the second report of the Committee of Independent Experts and in the annex to Parliament’s abovementioned resolution of 4 May 1999 on the postponement of the discharge, (1) OJ C 349, 17. 11. 1998. (2) OJ C 279, 1. 10. 1999, p. 119. 24. 10. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 304/131 Wednesday 19 January 2000 E. whereas in response to these criticisms and demands, the Commission has entered into commitments and adopted certain measures which should be assessed, F. whereas in February the Commission will submit a reform programme which should deal in a com- prehensive manner with all aspects of its organisational and management structures; whereas this dis- charge will therefore make it possible to ascertain the current commitments and measures with a view to comparing them with the final programme of February 2000, G. whereas the citizens of Europe will regain their faith in the European institutions only if major reforms are carried out in the near future, H. whereas the Commission has in the past appeared to regard the annual report of the Court of Audi- tors as an irritating ritual rather than a useful contribution to the improvement of financial manage- ment, Reminds the Commission that the discharge which is being given to it is based on the assumption 1. that its commitments under the reform programme will be implemented in full; Indicates to the Commission the guidelines which it must respect in drafting this programme in 2. certain particularly sensitive areas; Closure of accounts Recalls the statement of assurance annexed to the Court of Auditors 1997 Annual Report, which 3. includes the following points: (a) (b) (c) (d) that the total volume of assets corresponding to amounts owed to Community bodies by Member States, which is entered as ECU 1 756,5 million in the consolidated balance sheet, is incorrectly reflected in the accounts (points 8. 10-8. 11 of the Annual Report), that the Community’s cash account balances are inaccurately presented in the balance sheet, since amounts totalling several hundred million ecus held in some third countries are recorded as definitive payments charged to the budget rather than as imprest advances, and that the amount for the PHARE Programme alone in this context is at least ECU 370 million (point 8. 12), that the value of commitments still to be settled is overstated by a net amount of at least ECU 530 million (points 8. 18-8. 22), that the total amount of advances and payments on account recorded during the year as payments charged to the budget is understated by at least ECU 4 126 million (points 8. 23-8. 24); 4. Recalls that the audit carried out by the Court of Auditors in the context of the statement of assur- ance (see points 8. 34-8. 40 of the Annual Report) once again revealed an unacceptably high percentage of significant errors which have distorted the figures relating to procedures on which payments are based; Declares that it will be unable to close the accounts for the 1999 financial year if the Commission 5. has failed to rectify the accounting errors identified by the Court of Auditors; Institutional problems of management and supervision Calls on the Commission to develop a system whereby the recommendations of the Court of Audi- 6. tors are systematically followed up and reviewed; where complaints are repeated two years in a row, the Commission should hold management accountable for persistent failure to improve the situation; Calls on the Court of Auditors to monitor systematically, each year, the response to the criticisms 7. expressed in its previous reports; 8. Calls on the Court of Auditors to negotiate framework agreements with national courts of auditors whereby the latter carry out complementary checks on Community policies conducted in partnership, on the basis of a programme drawn up by common agreement; C 304/132 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 24. 10. 2000 Wednesday 19 January 2000 9. Observes that the powers of financial control and auditing powers need to be separated in a new Financial Regulation, and that auditing and inspection structures need to be separate and answerable to different Commissioners; Considers that every Directorate-General should present annual reports and accounts along standar- 10. dised lines, which should include the following year’s qualitative and quantitative targets; Staff policy 11. Accepts the commitment given by the Commission to define the staff and structures needed on the basis of objectives ranked in order of priority, but calls on the Commission to state clearly in its reform programme all its priorities and the criteria for the selection of the resources to be assigned thereto (staff employed pursuant to the Staff Regulations; external resources), on the basis of a system which can com- bine activity-based budgeting with an integrated resource-management system; Calls on the Court of Auditors to assess the administrative decentralisation policy which the Com- 12. mission has embarked upon as part of the MAP 2000 programme; 13. Notes that the Commission has adopted codes of conduct for the Commissioners and their private offices which entail major improvements with regard to the financial interests of Commissioners and the staff composition of the private offices, but calls on the Commission to undertake, in its reform pro- gramme: 3 to supplement the codes with more precise provisions concerning incompatibility in cases where a Commissioner has a direct personal interest in an act of recruitment, administration or implementa- tion of the budget for which he and his departments are directly responsible. 3 to make the codes binding by means of a regulation to be adopted by the Commission on the basis of opinions delivered by Parliament, the Council and the Court of Auditors; 14. Welcomes the Commission’s plans to protect whistleblowers and calls on the Commission to ensure that staff are encouraged to help work towards a professional climate in which whistleblowing will no longer be necessary; calls on the Commission, however, to identify, in connection with the code of con- duct, the fundamental duties of officials so that the latter can oppose any instructions from their hierarchy which are illegal or unethical; 15. Notes the strategic guidelines for administrative reform presented by the Commission with the aim of establishing a more effective disciplinary procedure for budgetary irregularities; calls on the Commission to propose rules to ensure the certainty of the procedure and the absolute impartiality of the body respon- sible for managing it; Technical Assistance Offices (TAOs) 16. Notes the Commission’s attempt to rationalise the TAOs by establishing a more restrictive legislative and budgetary framework and by introducing a vade-mecum which prohibits subcontracting of public- administration responsibilities and steps up supervision and monitoring of these bodies; Is only partially satisfied, however, and hopes that the Commission will include in its reform pro- 17. gramme these further improvements: (a) the vade-mecum should be binding and thus be an element in the revision of the Financial Regulation; (b) the TAOs must be excluded from any European public-service functions (even those which are purely preparatory, such as assessment of bids) and be confined to implementation; (c) relations with TAOs must be governed by transparent provisions laid down in standard contracts; (d) any function entailing discretionary assessment must be entrusted to executive agencies which operate as decentralised organs of the Commission and will make use of officials and specialised external staff who are entirely subject to the authority, supervision and monitoring of the Commission; 24. 10. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 304/133 Wednesday 19 January 2000 18. Stresses that, pending codification of the new criteria governing delegation of Commission tasks, the Commission must honour its contractual obligations towards existing TAOs and rectify delays in pay- ment, which cause serious financial problems, particularly for small businesses; Notes that the Commission has ended the contract with the TAO Agenor and resumed responsibil- 19. ity for managing the Leonardo programme, with the assistance of some of Agenor’s staff; considers that this action by the Commission demonstrates some elements of the executive agency formula; Calls on the Commission immediately to waive the immunity of its officials if and when requested 20. by a national prosecutor, and to bring a parallel civil action before the Belgian courts if the Public Prose- cutions Department decides to institute criminal proceedings in the four fraud cases reported by the Com- mission; The discharge authority’s access to information 21. Recalls that Article 276(2) of the EC Treaty states that the Commission, in connection with the exercise of its powers over the implementation of the budget, must submit any necessary information to the European Parliament at the latter’s request; 22. Notes that the EC Treaty provides for no such right to information for the Council in the area of the budget, so that Parliament’s right to information in this area is thus more far-reaching than that of the Council; 23. Notes that there is general consensus on the right of the discharge authority to full access to infor- mation on the implementation of the budgets and considers that the formal and practical arrangements which need to be put in place to facilitate this right should be set out both in Parliament’s Rules and in an agreement with the Commission on the basis of the principles to be laid down in the framework agree- ment on relations between the Commission and the European Parliament; 24. Instructs its Secretary General and the Constitutional Affairs Committee, in their respective areas of competence, to bring forward proposals for the necessary formal and practical arrangements (including changes to Parliament’s Rules of Procedure, notably Annex VII) to ensure Parliament’s unfettered rights under Article 276 TEC and to create appropriate general procedures for handling documents of a necessa- rily confidential nature 3 e. g. concerning personnel and sub-judice issues 3 which should include, inter alia: 3 a secure archive for documents classified as confidential, 3 a secure reading room (without copying and fax facilities, etc. ), 3 formal rules of access and an access register, 3 a new set of graduated procedures to replace Annex VII to reflect the classification of a confidential document, 3 consideration of a sanctions procedure for transgression of Parliament’s rules on confidential docu- ments; 25. Calls on the Commission to bring forward proposals for the classification of documents and con- sider other ways 3 drawing on the experience of the relationship between the executive and the legislative in Member States 3 in which full transparency with Parliament can be respected whilst minimising the risks of prejudicing ongoing court cases or transgressing the rights of individual staff members, etc. ; 26. Points out to the Commission as of now, however, that: (a) Parliament will consent to the agreement’s providing for exceptional restrictions only with regard to the procedures for forwarding, disseminating and collecting data and not with regard to the subject of the information; (b) (c) the principle must apply that Parliament, as the discharge authority, has at least as much access to Commission documents as the Court of Auditors, whose task it is to support Parliament in monitoring the implementation of the budget; the Commission must undertake, pending the introduction of the new rules, to provide all information which the discharge authority requests from it, on the basis of ad hoc agreements designed to ensure respect for confidentiality; C 304/134 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 24. 10. 2000 Wednesday 19 January 2000 The discharge and management of Community policies in partnership (SEM 2000) 27. Notes the Commission’s undertaking to forward to Parliament all information, both concerning measures under the SEM 2000 programme regarding budgetary management in partnership and concern- ing the responses of national administrations to the comments of the discharge authority; Considers these undertakings only partially satisfactory, however, and calls on the Commission to 28. commit itself, in its reform programme, to: (a) arrange for observers from Parliament to attend meetings of the body responsible for the SEM 2000 programme when the functions of Parliament as a legislative, budgetary or budgetary control authority are at issue; (b) establish, under the SEM 2000 programme, a procedure whereby Member States can be informed of the comments of the discharge authority; (c) seek to ensure that national administrations submit to the discharge authority their comments on the cooperation they have afforded to the Commission as referred to in Article 274 of the EC Treaty; 29. Notes the Commission’s proposals to deal in an ad hoc trialogue with any legislative matter or problem of budgetary control considered by SEM 2000, and expects the Commission, together with Parlia- ment and the Council, to take rapid steps to establish this practice; Combating fraud and corruption 30. Notes that the Commission has not yet produced a full list of cases in which it is suspected that Commission officials or other employees may be involved in fraud or corruption; calls on the Commission to present such a list in time for the 1998 discharge procedure and at the latest by 1 March 2000; Notes that the Commission has not yet complied with its request to notify the national judicial 31. authorities of all cases where it is suspected that Commission officials or other employees may be involved in fraud or corruption; calls on the Commission to present such a list in time for the 1998 discharge procedure and at the latest by 1 March 2000; External aid # aid to Palestine Considers that the Commission still needs to take a number of measures with regard to its aid to 32. Palestine by 31 March 2000, including: 3 opening of Gaza hospital, 3 work to begin at the site for the construction of the seat of the Palestinian parliament; 33. Notes that the Commission has approved plans by the International Management Team (IMT) to have the Gaza hospital available for use by precise dates (15 July 2000 for out-patient consultations, 15 October 2000 for in-patients); reminds the Commission that it must constantly monitor the work of IMT, for which it bears the ultimate responsibility; Calls on the Commission to submit by 31 March 2000 a programme setting out in detail the 34. strategies it intends to pursue with regard to external aid in accordance with predetermined priorities

text: 24. 10. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 303 E/129 (2000/C 303 E/131) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0033/00 by Glenys Kinnock (PSE) to the Commission (19 January 2000) Subject: Conference on the Biosafety Protocol The Commission will be aware of the resumption of the conference on the Biosafety Protocol due to take place in Montreal on 24-28 January. Would the Commission give details of information which it has received from individual Member States in preparation for this meeting? Answer given by Mrs Wallstr(cid:246)m on behalf of the Commission (24 February 2000) The Council adopted on 13 December 1999 conclusions on the negotiations on the Biosafety Protocol (1) setting out the framework for the Community position. In line with these conclusions the Community managed to reach an agreement with 133 governments on the adoption of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety on 28 January 2000. The resulting Protocol is a major international achievement, integrating environment, trade and develop- ment concerns in a balanced way with the full support of the developing nations. It addresses the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) that may have an adverse effect on biodiversity with a specific focus on transboundary movements. The Protocol establishes an advance informed agreement (AIA) procedure for imports of LMOs intended for introduction into the environment, an alternative procedure for LMOs intended for food, feed and processing (LMO commodities) and detailed information and documentation requirements. It specifically incorporates the precautionary principle. The Protocol also contains provisions regarding confidential information and information-sharing, capacity- building, and financial resources, with special attention to the situation of developing countries and those without domestic regulatory systems as well as an enabling provision for a future liability regime. The Community(cid:146)s negotiation position was at all stages, in Brussels as well as during the negotiations in Montreal, established in close co-operation with all the Member States and based on strong internal coherence.

text: C 303 E/134 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 24. 10. 2000 Gecombineerd Antwoord van de heer Fischler namens de Commissie op de schritftelijke vragen E-0038/00, E-0043/00, E-0044/00, E-0045/00, E-0046/00, E-0047/00, E-0048/00, E-0049/00, E-0050/00, E-0051/00 en E-0052/00 (28 februari 2000) Het geachte parlementslid heeft een hele reeks vragen gesteld over het programma Poseima voor de Azoren. Aan het verslag van de Commissie over de maatregelen ter uitvoering van artikel 299 (het vroegere artikel 227), lid 2, van het EG-Verdrag wordt nog gewerkt. In dit stadium van de procedure kan de Commissie dus niet antwoorden op de vragen van het gachte immers eerst door de Commissie worden Parlementslid over de inhoud van dit verslag; het moet goedgekeurd. Ten slotte is in het werkprogramma van de Commissie voor 2000 bepaald dat bij de Raad en het Parlement een verslag zal worden ingediend over de uitvoering van Verordening (EEG) nr. 1600/92 van de Raad van 15 juni 1992 houdende specifieke maatregelen voor bepaalde landbouwproducten ten behoeve van de Azoren en Madeira (1) (Poseima). Dit verslag over de landbouwsector van Poseima zal eventueel vergezeld gaan van voorstellen voor aanpassingen die nodig worden geacht om de doelstellingen van dit programma te verwezenlijken. Het geheel van de landbouwmaatregelen voor de Azoren zal in deze context worden onderzocht. (1) PB L 173 van 27. 6. 1992. (2000/C 303 E/144) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-0039/00 van Paulo Casaca (PSE) aan de Commissie (19 januari 2000) Betreft: GLB en dierenbescherming Het GLB behelst op dit moment heel wat op dierenbescherming gerichte regels. Toch worden veehouders via verordening (EG) nr. 1254/1999 (1) ertoe aangespoord runderen te castreren omdat zij voor geca- streerde dieren twee jaarlijkse subsidies ontvangen en voor niet-gecastreerde slechts ØØn. Zoals in andere insulaire gebieden worden runderen in de Autonome Regio Azoren traditioneel niet gecastreerd wanneer zij alleen voor de vleesproductie worden gehouden, maar de veehouders zijn nu gedwongen dat wel te doen omdat zij anders minder communautaire subsidies ontvangen. Is de Europese Commissie niet van mening dat die stimulans tot het castreren van runderen niet strookt met het principiºle streven naar dierenbescherming? Ziet zij in de GLB-beginselen een grond voor die stimuleringsmaatregel en, zo ja, welke? Kan zij niet, aangezien de voorschriften ingevolge haar rapport over de ultraperifere gebieden gewijzigd zullen worden, voorstellen om de veehouders, althans in de Autonome Regio Azoren, van de betrokken regeling vrij te stellen? (1) PB L 160 van 26. 6. 1999, blz. 21. Antwoord van de heer Fischler namens de Commissie (28 februari 2000) Het houden van ossen (gecastreerde mannelijke runderen) is in de rundvleessector een traditioneel productiesysteem dat een specifieke vleeskwaliteit oplevert die duidelijk verschilt van die van niet- gecastreerde runderen. Deze productie vindt vooral plaats in lidstaten die over een groot voederareaal voor deze dieren beschikken (o. a. Frankrijk, Ierland, het Verenigd Koninkrijk). Bij deze vorm van extensieve 24. 10. 2000 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen C 303 E/135 veehouderij is het castreren van runderen op heel jonge leeftijd (cid:129) om de dieren zo weinig mogelijk pijn te doen (cid:129) noodzakelijk om vechten te voorkomen en om de gewenste vleeskwaliteit te verkrijgen. Sinds de hervorming van de rundvleessector in 1992 ontvangen houders van mannelijke runderen ten hoogste twee premies per dier: een eerste premie tussen de 10de en de 22ste maand en eventueel een tweede premie vanaf 23 maanden. In de praktijk komt dat erop neer dat in een bepaald jaar ØØn premie per dier wordt toegekend, en het daaropvolgende jaar een tweede premie, voor dieren die over een langere periode worden gemest (gebruikelijk voor ossen). De toekenning van een tweede premie voor stieren heeft er voorts toe geleid dat deze dieren vaak buitengewoon zwaar werden. Om dit te voorkomen werd deze premietranche vanaf 1997 (in bepaalde gevallen vanaf 1999) niet meer toegekend. In dit verband wil de Commissie erop wijzen dat het aantal premieaanvragen voor de tweede leeftijdstranche (gecastreerde dieren) tot nu toe niet gestegen is, maar eerder nog gedaald. Bij de nieuwe hervorming van de rundvlees- sector is gekozen voor dezelfde aanpak, met een eenmalige, hogere premie voor stieren (210 € per dier dat in aanmerking komt), en twee premies voor ossen (150 € per leeftijdstranche). Wat de laatste vraag betreft, zij verwezen naar het antwoord van de Commissie op de schriftelijke vraag E-0038/00 (1). (1) Zie blz. 130. (2000/C 303 E/145) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG P-0053/00 van Torben Lund (PSE) aan de Commissie (18 januari 2000) Betreft: Nitrosaminen in vleesproducten Vijf verbruikersverenigingen hebben onlangs de conclusies uit een onderzoek naar de aanwezigheid van nitrosaminen in een reeks vleesproducten die dagelijks gebruikt worden in vijf EU-landen (Belgiº, Frankrijk, Italiº, Spanje, Portugal) bekendgemaakt. In totaal zijn er 600 stalen genomen. Nitrosaminen, die sterk kankerverwekkend zijn, ontstaan door toevoeging van nitriet aan vleesproducten. Volgens de richtlijn (cid:132)diversen(cid:148) (95/2/EG (1) op andere additieven dan kleur- en zoetstoffen in levens- middelen) worden de toegelaten grenswaarden berekend volgens de resthoeveelheden nitraat en nitriet in een vleesproduct. Maar de resthoeveelheid zegt niets over de hoeveelheid nitraat en nitriet die daadwerke- lijk toegevoegd is. Tot bewijs van het tegendeel bestaat er een duidelijk verband tussen de hoeveelheden nitraat en nitriet die toegevoegd zijn, en de hoeveelheid nitrosaminen. Het Wetenschappelijk comitØ levenmiddelen heeft dat verband trouwens bevestigd in 1990 en 1995. Het bewuste onderzoek nu is tot de ontdekking gekomen dat er in een zeer groot aantal stalen nitrosaminen te vinden zijn in onaanvaardbare hoeveelheden. Denkt de Commissie tegen die achtergrond initiatieven te nemen: (cid:129) om de meetmethoden voor nitraat of nitriet in vleesproducten te veranderen van resthoeveelheid naar toegevoegde hoeveelheid, (cid:129) om de toegelaten grenswaarden aanzienlijk lager vast te stellen, (cid:129) om grenswaarden voor de aanwezigheid van nitrosaminen in vleesproducten vast te leggen, (cid:129) om een verplicht controlesysteem voor de aanwezigheid van nitrosaminen in vleesproducten in te voeren waar nitraat of nitriet aan toegevoegd is, (cid:129) om de etiketteringsvoorschriften te verbeteren, zodat de verbruiker ge(cid:239)nformeerd wordt over de toegevoegde hoeveelheid nitraat of nitriet en de schadelijke invloed van nitrosaminen op de gezond- heid.

text: 24. 10. 2000 ES Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas C 303 E/127 (2000/C 303 E/128) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-0025/00 de Manuel PØrez `lvarez (PPE-DE) a la Comisi(cid:243)n (19 de enero de 2000) Asunto: Seguridad en los juguetes A lo largo del aæo tambiØn pero muy especialmente en estas fechas los medios de comunicaci(cid:243)n en general y las televisiones en particular invaden nuestras vidas y nuestros hogares con publicidad de juguetes, publicidad, por lo tanto, dirigida a un seguimiento especial de la poblaci(cid:243)n, como es el de los niæos. Sabemos tambiØn que muchos de esos mensajes publicitarios no se corresponden con la realidad y condiciones del producto publicitado. Ante esta publicidad engaæosa en un porcentaje no despreciable, quØ medidas se han adoptado de cara a prevenir o eliminar los efectos de la misma? Respuesta de la Sra. Reding en nombre de la Comisi(cid:243)n (24 de marzo de 2000) La Directiva «televisi(cid:243)n sin fronteras» (TVSF), es decir, la Directiva 89/552/CEE del Consejo sobre la coordinaci(cid:243)n de determinadas disposiciones legales, reglamentarias y administrativas de los Estados miembros relativas al ejercicio de actividades de radiodifusi(cid:243)n televisiva (1), modificada por la Directiva 97/36/CE del Parlamento y del Consejo, de 30 de junio de 1997, proporciona el marco legal para la radiodifusi(cid:243)n televisiva dentro de la Comunidad. La Directiva TVSF adoptada en 1989 contiene algunas disposiciones relacionadas con la publicidad televisada. En particular, el art(cid:237)culo 16 establece que la publicidad televisada no deberÆ perjudicar moral o f(cid:237)sicamente a los menores. Cuando se revis(cid:243) la Directiva, la Comisi(cid:243)n se comprometi(cid:243) a realizar un estudio sobre los efectos de la publicidad televisada y de la televenta sobre los menores, en el marco de la pr(cid:243)xima revisi(cid:243)n de la Directiva, con arreglo al art(cid:237)culo 26. Este estudio se inici(cid:243) en enero de 2000 y se espera que estØ concluido antes de finales del aæo 2000. AdemÆs de la Directiva sobre la televisi(cid:243)n, la Directiva 84/450/CEE del Consejo, de 10 de septiembre de 1984, relativa a la aproximaci(cid:243)n de las disposiciones legales, reglamentarias y administrativas de los Estados miembros en materia de publicidad engaæosa (2), se aplica de forma horizontal a toda la publicidad. Cabe destacar que actualmente la Comisi(cid:243)n fomenta un diÆlogo entre las asociaciones de consumidores y la industria sobre las prÆcticas comerciales dirigidas a los niæos.

(2000/C 303 E/129) PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-0026/00 de Nelly Maes (Verts/ALE) a la Comisi(cid:243)n (19 de enero de 2000) Asunto: Comercio de armas El comercio incontrolado de armas es un azote y tiene efectos desestabilizadores. En diferentes regiones del mundo, el exceso de oferta de armas en el mercado local, en ocasiones en el sentido mÆs literal de la palabra, es una fuente constante de terror y violencia. A menudo, prÆcticas delictivas como el contrabando de diamantes, la extorsi(cid:243)n y el trÆfico de drogas van de la mano con el trÆfico ilegal de armas. Todo Estado de Derecho se marca entonces el objetivo de orientar el comercio de armas por v(cid:237)as legales y someterlo a restricciones, aunque lo hacen de modos diferentes, por lo que se originan distorsiones de la competencia. ¿QuØ Estados miembros prohiben el comercio de armas con pa(cid:237)ses en conflicto? ¿QuØ Estados miembros prohiben la exportaci(cid:243)n a pa(cid:237)ses que no respetan los derechos humanos o estÆn envueltos en conflictos armados en su territorio?

title: INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-0004/00 di Bart Staes (Verts/ALE) alla Commissione. Impiego di cobalto e nichel in odontoiatria.

text: 3. 10. 2000 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 280 E/153 Siffatta verit(cid:224) nei prezzi Ł destinata ad evitare le sovvenzioni ma pu(cid:242) anche far emergere una certa realt(cid:224) del mercato unico. In una decina di Stati membri le tariffe postali variano pertanto a seconda che si tratti di posta nazionale o intracomunitaria. La differenziazione delle tariffe tra posta interna e posta destinata al resto della Comunit(cid:224) pu(cid:242) basarsi su prestazioni diverse che, se giustificate, non infrangerebbero le norme comunitarie in materia di concor- renza. L(cid:146)attuazione di una contabilit(cid:224) analitica come viene richiesta dalla direttiva postale consentir(cid:224), se del caso, di esaminare tali giustificazioni. (1) Direttiva 97/67/CE del Parlamento e del Consiglio del 15 dicembre 1997 concernente regole comuni per lo sviluppo del mercato interno dei servizi postali comunitari e il miglioramento della qualit(cid:224) del servizio, GU L 15 del 21. 1. 1998, pag. 12. (2000/C 280 E/174) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-0004/00 di Bart Staes (Verts/ALE) alla Commissione (19 gennaio 2000) Oggetto: Impiego di cobalto e nichel in odontoiatria La ricerca scientifica indica che la sensibilit(cid:224) ai metalli pesanti come il cobalto e il nichel Ł in aumento. La circolazione, le attivit(cid:224) industriali e le moderne attivit(cid:224) agricole contribuiscono a determinare il crescente aumento dei metalli pesanti negli alimenti. Un recente studio condotto in Francia ha evidenziato la relazione tra la presenza di metalli pesanti nell(cid:146)acqua potabile (nichel, rame, cobalto e alluminio, oltre al solfato) e l(cid:146)insorgenza del morbo di Alzheimer. PoichØ il corpo umano abbisogna solo di una piccolissima parte di questi metalli, la frazione restidua viene accumulata e si sviluppano cos(cid:236) le allergie. Il cobalto e il nichel sono molto utilizzati in odontoiatria e i pazienti ipersensibili ne risentono. Dal punto di vista della sanit(cid:224) pubblica appare pertanto opportuno ricorrere ad alternative «piø sane», ad esempio ricoprendo completamente le protesi con un rivestimento resistente alla corrosione e all(cid:146)attrito. Troppi odontoiatri e laboratori sostengono che il rivestimento non Ł necessario in quanto non ne Ł previsto l(cid:146)obbligo. Cionondimeno, la direttiva 92/59/CEE (1) vieta l(cid:146)impiego di prodotti che sono pericolosi per la sicurezza e/o la salute del consumatore. 1. Pu(cid:242) la Commissione far sapere se ha gi(cid:224) fatto realizzare uno studio scientifico sulla crescente sensibilit(cid:224) al cobalto e al nichel, in particolare nel quadro dell(cid:146)utilizzazione di tali metalli in odontoiatria? In caso affermativo, quali sono le risultanze di tale studio? In caso negativo, Ł disposta a far realizzare un siffatto studio, tenuto conto degli effetti negativi sulla sanit(cid:224) pubblica? 2. (cid:201) disposta la Commissione a subordinare l(cid:146)impiego del cobalto e del nichel in odontoiatria all(cid:146)obbligo di ricoprire integralmente le protesi con un rivestimento resistente alla corrosione e all(cid:146)attrito, tenuto conto degli effetti negativi sulla salute pubblica e del divieto europeo di utilizzare prodotti che sono pericolosi per la sicurezza e/o la salute del consumatore (direttiva 92/59/CEE)? In caso negativo, come giustifica la Commissione che si continui a utilizzare il cobalto e il nichel in odontoiatria senza prevedere un rivestimento completo delle protesi che sia resistente alla corrosione e all(cid:146)attrito? (1) GU L 228 dell(cid:146)11. 8. 1992, pag. 24. Risposta del sig. Liikanen a nome della Commissione (16 marzo 2000) Nel dicembre 1994 la Commissione ha ordinato uno studio sull(cid:146)amalgama dentale e sui prodotti 1. alternativi, coperti dalla direttiva 93/42/CEE (1) sui dispositivi medici. Lo studio Ł stato effettuato da un gruppo di lavoro ad hoc, di cui facevano parte esperti in rappresentanza dei ministeri della sanit(cid:224) degli Stati membri, scienziati provenienti da varie universit(cid:224) europee, rappresentanti dell(cid:146)industria, professionisti ed esperti del settore medico, rappresentanti delle organizzazioni professionali dei dentisti e due esperti dal Department of Health and Human Services degli Stati Uniti. C 280 E/154 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee IT 3. 10. 2000 Lo studio mirava a valutare i potenziali rischi atti a mettere a repentaglio il livello di tutela della salute di pazienti e consumatori e verte su amalgama dentale, resine composte, rivestimento e biocompatibilit(cid:224) ed aspetti tossicologici di molte leghe usate in odontoiatria, in particolare quelle che si basano su nichel, palladio, argento, oro, cobalto. inclusi tanto l(cid:146)amalgama dentale quanto i suoi sostituti, ad es. i materiali per odontoiatria Le principali conclusioni a cui arriva la relazione indicano che tutti ricostruttiva, leghe o resine, possono provocare reazioni negative. Le leghe colate possono causare allergie. Si ritiene che le leghe colate per uso odontoiatrico inducano reazioni soltanto nelle persone sensibili, ma non provochino in genere sensibiliz- zazione. Le reazioni allergiche alle leghe metalliche sono comunque rare. I problemi di solito si risolvono procedendo alla rimozione del materiale. L(cid:146)incidenza degli effetti collaterali relativi a materiali odontoiatrici ricostruttivi nei pazienti Ł generalmente bassa. I dati disponibili sono scarsi; le rassegne e gli articoli di ricerca ci dicono che l(cid:146)incidenza dovrebbe essere inferiore allo 0,1 % della popolazione in generale. Il rapporto rischi-benefici corrisponde a quello correntemente riconosciuto ed accettato in materia. Le norme su cui si basa la direttiva 93/42/CEE rappresentano l(cid:146)attuale stato dell(cid:146)arte. La Commissione ritiene pertanto che questa direttiva costituisca un quadro giuridico appropriato per quanto riguarda i materiali di ristrutturazione dentale, e che attualmente non sia necessaria nessuna modificazione della vigente legislazione. Nondimeno la Commissione seguir(cid:224) con attenzione lo sviluppo delle conoscenze scientifiche in questo settore e trarr(cid:224) le appropriate conclusioni ai fini della direttiva 93/42/CEE. La direttiva 92/59/CEE, relativa alla sicurezza generale dei prodotti definisce nel suo articolo 2 a) 2. «prodotto sicuro» come «qualsiasi prodotto che. non presenti alcun rischio o solo i minimi rischi connessi con l(cid:146)uso del prodotto, considerati accettabili e compatibili con un alto livello di protezione e di tutela della salute». Allo stato attuale delle conoscenze i dati scientifici disponibili non permettono di asserire che l(cid:146)uso in odontoiatria di cobalto e nichel sia incompatibile con la definizione di prodotto sicuro contenuta nella direttiva, tenendo da conto anche i benefici di tale uso. In queste circostanze la Commissione allo stato attuale dei fatti non prevede pertanto particolari provvedimenti per quanto riguarda l(cid:146)uso di leghe di cobalto o nichel senza rivestimento. Nondimeno la Commissione seguir(cid:224) attentamente lo sviluppo delle conoscenze scientifiche in questo campo. (1) GU L 169 del 12. 7. 1993. (2000/C 280 E/175) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-0007/00 di Roberta Angelilli (UEN) alla Commissione (19 gennaio 2000) Oggetto: Lotta alla droga nella Regione Lazio Con la delibera n. 5057 del 05/10/99 la Regione Lazio ha stabilito i criteri per l(cid:146)assegnazione dei fondi per la lotta alla droga. La delibera in oggetto determina un forte condizionamento sulle politiche in questo settore, soprattutto a livello comunale, poichØ queste sono costrette ad attenersi a quanto disposto in sede regionale. La delibera, invece di dettare i criteri ed i termini per la presentazione delle richieste di finanziamento dando spazio alle progettualit(cid:224) territoriali sia pubbliche che del privato sociale (come vuole la legge 45/99), impone interventi gi(cid:224) dettagliatamente prestabiliti sia nei contenuti che nella forma e tutti volti esclusivamente alla cosiddetta «riduzione del danno». Tutto ci(cid:242) senza coinvolgere in nessun modo gli Enti locali (come invece la legge prevede), che sono per loro natura piø vicini al territorio, tanto che alcuni di essi, come ad esempio il Comune di Latina, hanno presentato un ricorso al Tribunale amministrativo del Lazio. Con questa delibera si condizionano fortemente gli interventi di prevenzione in quanto in base ad essa sono finanziabili solo progetti rivolti a soggetti a rischio, mentre la prevenzione, come previsto dalla legge e da numerose decisioni comunitarie, dovrebbe assumere uno spazio ben piø ampio. Nella delibera non sono previsti interventi riguardanti il recupero: dal momento che sono previsti finanziamenti per il reinserimento lavorativo e che il settore del recupero Ł sostituito da quello della riduzione del danno, si evince che per la Regione Lazio le persone da reinserire sono quelle che ancora fanno uso di droga e non quelle recuperate, legittimando di fatto una sorta di legalizzazione

Hvorfor mener R(cid:229)det i ben(cid:230)gtende fald ikke, at et s(cid:229)dant krav er nłdvendigt, og hvilke alternative forslag har det for effektivt at słge at lłse problemet med oliedumpning? Svar (2. maj 2000) 1. R(cid:229)det er klar over det problem, der rejses af det (cid:230)rede medlem. Integrationen af miljłkrav er en foruds(cid:230)tning for, at F(cid:230)llesskabets politikker og aktioner kan defineres og gennemfłres. Som fłlge af de mandater, Det Europ(cid:230)iske R(cid:229)d gav p(cid:229) sine młder i Cardiff (15. -16. juni 1998), Wien (11. -12. december 1998) og Kłln (3. -4. inden for forskellige sektorpolitikker. R(cid:229)det har dog til dato ikke modtaget noget forslag fra Kommissionen vedrłrende det specifikke spłrgsm(cid:229)l, som er rejst her. juni 1999), er denne integration allerede blevet indledt 2. R(cid:229)det henviser det (cid:230)rede medlem til en r(cid:230)kke tekster, som enten allerede er vedtaget eller er under overvejelse og som i betragtning af den st(cid:230)rke stigning i omfanget af transport af farligt eller forurenende gods ad słvejen tager sigte p(cid:229) at undg(cid:229) og nedbringe risiciene for alvorlige ulykker p(cid:229) havet. 3. I den sammenh(cid:230)ng skal der henvises til R(cid:229)dets direktiv 93/75/E(cid:216)F af 13. september 1993 om mindstekrav til skibe, som er p(cid:229) vej til eller fra F(cid:230)llesskabets słhavne med farligt eller forurenende gods. Dette direktiv blev (cid:230)ndret to gange i 1998. 4. R(cid:229)det fastlagde den 8. november 1999 en f(cid:230)lles holdning med henblik p(cid:229) vedtagelse af Europa- Parlamentets og R(cid:229)dets direktiv om modtagefaciliteter i havne til driftsaffald og lastrester fra skibe Denne f(cid:230)lles holdning sammenholdt med direktiv 95/21/EF fasts(cid:230)tter bestemmelser for inspektioner i F(cid:230)lles- skabets havne med henblik p(cid:229) at sikre overholdelsen af de internationale regler og f(cid:230)llesskabsreglerne p(cid:229) omr(cid:229)det. R(cid:229)det vedtog ligeledes i december 1999 en f(cid:230)lles holdning vedrłrende et forslag til Europa- Parlamentets og R(cid:229)dets beslutning om fasts(cid:230)ttelse af EF-rammebestemmelser for samarbejde i tilf(cid:230)lde af utilsigtet eller fors(cid:230)tlig havforurening. Form(cid:229)let med denne beslutning er bl. a. at supplere medlemsstater- nes indsats i tilf(cid:230)lde af oliedumpninger eller trusler om s(cid:229)danne samt at styrke deres midler til bek(cid:230)mpelse af havforurening. 5. P(cid:229) samlingen den 24. januar 2000, som bl. a. behandlede spłrgsm(cid:229)let om sikkerheden i forbindelse med olietankskibe, noterede R(cid:229)det sig desuden de initiativer, Kommissionen p(cid:229)t(cid:230)nker at tage p(cid:229) omr(cid:229)det, is(cid:230)r for s(cid:229) vidt ang(cid:229)r łgede sikkerhedsstandarder for olietankskibe, der f(cid:229)r adgang til havne i EU, udvidede sikkerhedsinspektioner og fasts(cid:230)ttelse af det łkonomiske ansvar i tilf(cid:230)lde af forurening. 6. R(cid:229)det understreger i łvrigt, at F(cid:230)llesskabets bestemmelser p(cid:229) omr(cid:229)det er baseret p(cid:229) folkeretten som f. eks. den internationale konvention om sikkerhed for menneskeliv p(cid:229) słen, den internationale konvention om forebyggelse af forurening fra skibe og Den Internationale Słfartstsorganisations resolutioner.

Det store antal olieindsmurte fugle, is(cid:230)r i december, januar og februar m(cid:229)ned, viser, hvor alvorlig en forurening der er tale om. Skibe benytter ofte stormvejr til ubem(cid:230)rket at skylle deres olietanke rene. 21. 11. 2000 DA De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende C 330 E/69 Det eneste, der ifłlge Havłkologisk Center i Oostende kan hj(cid:230)lpe noget, er indfłrelse af regler, der p(cid:229)l(cid:230)gger skibene at rengłre deres olietanke, fłr de forlader havnene. Uden et certifikat, der beviser dette, błr et skib ikke f(cid:229) tilladelse til udsejling. Kan Kommissionen g(cid:229) ind for et direktiv, der p(cid:229)l(cid:230)gger skibene at rengłre deres olietanke, inden havnen forlades, i betragtning af hvor stor en fare oliedumpningen betyder for de forskellige biotoper langs den europ(cid:230)iske kyst? Hvorfor mener Kommissionen i ben(cid:230)gtende fald ikke, at et s(cid:229)dant krav er nłdvendigt, og hvilke alternative forslag har den for effektivt at słge at lłse problemet med oliedumpning? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Loyola de Palacio (14. marts 2000) Kommissionen deler det (cid:230)rede medlems bekymring med hensyn til driftsm(cid:230)ssig forurening i F(cid:230)llesskabets vandomr(cid:229)der. IMO, Den Internationale Słfartsorganisation har udarbejdet bestemmelser om mindskelse af driftsm(cid:230)ssig forurening gennem den internationale konvention om forebyggelse af forurening fra skibe (den s(cid:229)kaldte Marpol 73/78). Disse bestemmelser har v(cid:230)ret effektive til at reducere driftsm(cid:230)ssig forurening i det omfang, at moderne r(cid:229)olietankere ikke l(cid:230)ngere renser deres tanke med vand. Den igangv(cid:230)rende indfłrelse af moderne design og driftssystemer forventes at reducere s(cid:229)dan forurening yderligere i de n(cid:230)ste f(cid:229) (cid:229)r. Megen af den driftsm(cid:230)ssige forurening fra alle skibstyper i F(cid:230)llesskabets vandomr(cid:229)der opst(cid:229)r som fłlge af, at der i nogle havne ikke er mulighed for at aflevere lastrester og driftsaffald fra skibe til modtagefaciliteter i havne. Kommissionens forslag til R(cid:229)dets direktiv om modtagefaciliteter i havne for driftsaffald og lastrester fra skibe (1) omhandler dette s(cid:230)rlige problem og indfłrer en r(cid:230)kke krav til b(cid:229)de havne og skibe for at sikre, at der er passende faciliteter til r(cid:229)dighed i alle F(cid:230)llesskabets havne, og at skibe anvender dem. Ved at indfłre regler, incitamenter og kontrolprocedurer for aflevering af affald fra skibe i havne vil behovet for dumpning til havs blive betydelig reduceret. Kommissionen har tillid til, at det foresl(cid:229)ede direktiv, der i łjeblikket er til anden behandling i Parlamentet, vil f(cid:229) en kraftig virkning for mindskelse af driftsm(cid:230)ssig forurening, og navnlig olieforurening fra alle skibstyper. Kommissionen forelagde desuden et forslag til en beslutning om vedtagelse af EF-rammebestemmelser for samarbejde i tilf(cid:230)lde af utilsigtet havforurening (2). Dette forslag, der i łjeblikket drłftes i R(cid:229)det og Parlamentet, sigter mod yderligere at udvikle f(cid:230)llesskabsinitiativer (f(cid:230)lles uddannelse, udveksling af eksperter, łvelser, pilotprojekter, informationsudveksling) for at stłtte medlemsstaternes indsats for at lłse problemet med olieforurening af havet. I betragtning af ovenst(cid:229)ende har Kommissionen i łjeblikket ikke til hensigt at udarbejde yderligere forslag med krav til skibe om at rengłre deres tanke, fłr de forlader havnen.

text: 3. 10. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 280 E/163 According to the Helsinki European Council conclusions, building on the existing European strategy, Turkey, like other candidate States, will benefit from a pre-accession strategy to stimulate and support its reforms. This will include enhanced political dialogue, with emphasis on progressing towards fulfilling the political criteria for accession with particular reference inter alia to the issue of human rights. In practice, in all the political dialogue meetings with the Turkish authorities at the level of Foreign Ministers and Political Directors the Council addresses human rights issues. (2000/C 280 E/185) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0030/00 by Marianne Eriksson (GUE/NGL) to the Commission Subject: Monitoring of the referendum in Western Sahara (19 January 2000) For more than seven years, the Sahrawi people have been waiting for news from the Moroccan authorities about a referendum on the future of Western Sahara. The Moroccan authorities have more than once broken agreements they had with Polisario regarding the date of the referendum. However, registration of those entitled to vote has now resumed, and a referendum campaign is being planned that is expected to be concluded on 31 July 2000, which is also the date on which the referendum is scheduled to take place. The risk of electoral fraud is great, and an international team of monitors needs to be sent in order to ensure that the referendum takes place in a democratic manner. Will the Commission assist in monitoring the referendum on the future of Western Sahara? Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission (14 February 2000) The Commission is keeping track of developments in the implementation of the plan adopted by the UN Security Council for the settlement of the Western Sahara conflict. The UN Secretary-General(cid:146)s efforts to find a just, equitable and lasting solution for the Western Sahara have its full support. It is therefore ready to provide assistance at every stage of the planned settlement. On the specific issue of the referendum, the Commission is aware that its organisation is threatened by problems with the finalisation of the electoral lists. As the UN Security Council pointed out in resolution 1282/99 of 14 December 1999, these problems (cid:145). seem to allow little possibility of holding the referendum before 2002 or even beyond(cid:146).
