text: 24. 10. 2000 ES Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas C 303 E/189 Respuesta de la Sra. Reding en nombre de la Comisi(cid:243)n (27 de marzo de 2000) De conformidad con la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia, las actividades deportivas y relacionadas con el deporte, tales como la organizaci(cid:243)n y retransmisi(cid:243)n de acontecimientos deportivos, deben cumplir la legislaci(cid:243)n comunitaria en la medida en que constituyen una actividad econ(cid:243)mica con arreglo a lo establecido en el art(cid:237)culo 2 de Tratado (1). Por tanto, las normas comunitarias de la competencia se aplican en principio a prÆcticas tales como la venta colectiva por las federaciones deportivas de los derechos de retransmisi(cid:243)n por televisi(cid:243)n de los acontecimientos que se organizan bajo sus auspicios. No obstante, no puede establecerse si la venta colectiva de los derechos de retransmisi(cid:243)n por televisi(cid:243)n de las carreras de trineo de velocidad (bobsleigh) es compatible con la legislaci(cid:243)n comunitaria en materia de competencia sin haber examinado todos los hechos y las circunstancias concretos. En este contexto, debe examinarse si esta prÆctica afecta al comercio entre Estados miembros y restringe la competencia en un grado apreciable en el mercado pertinente, lo que podr(cid:237)a ser el caso, como m(cid:237)nimo, cuando la venta colectiva tiene por objeto derechos de retransmisi(cid:243)n con precios muy elevados de deportes de gran popularidad. Por lo que se refiere a la libertad de prestaci(cid:243)n de servicios, los principios de la libre circulaci(cid:243)n dentro del mercado œnico no solamente se aplican a la actuaci(cid:243)n de las autoridades pœblicas, sino que incluyen tambiØn las normas de cualquier otro tipo destinadas a regular el empleo remunerado de forma colectiva. La Comisi(cid:243)n no ha recibido ninguna queja o notificaci(cid:243)n relativa a la conculcaci(cid:243)n de los principios de la libre circulaci(cid:243)n (especialmente en el Æmbito de la libre circulaci(cid:243)n de servicios) en la retransmisi(cid:243)n de carreras de trineo de velocidad, o en la venta colectiva de derechos de retransmisi(cid:243)n por televisi(cid:243)n. La Comisi(cid:243)n, habida cuenta de que estÆ estudiando en la actualidad la venta colectiva de derechos de retransmisi(cid:243)n por televisi(cid:243)n de otros acontecimientos deportivos, y de que el resultado de este estudio tambiØn afectarÆ a la venta colectiva de derechos de retransmisi(cid:243)n por televisi(cid:243)n de carreras de trineo de velocidad, no tiene previsto por ahora investigar este asunto. (1) VØanse los Asuntos 36/74 (Walrave) de 12/12/1974 o C-415/93 (Bosman) de 15/12/1995. (2000/C 303 E/216) PREGUNTA ESCRITA P-0405/00 de Pasqualina Napoletano (PSE) a la Comisi(cid:243)n (9 de febrero de 2000) Asunto: Misi(cid:243)n financiada por la Comisi(cid:243)n para la reforma de las aduanas en Albania Considerando que la Sra. Natalina Cea, jefa de la misi(cid:243)n financiada por la Comisi(cid:243)n para la reforma de las aduanas en Albania, ha anunciado recientemente su intenci(cid:243)n de dejar dicho cargo, al cabo de tres aæos, en los que demostr(cid:243) gran profesionalidad, as(cid:237) como valor y empeæo en el cumplimiento de sus funciones; Considerando los resultados positivos obtenidos por la misi(cid:243)n, que ha restablecido el funcionamiento del sistema aduanero albanØs, permitiendo un aumento espectacular de los ingresos de dicho pa(cid:237)s, y que ha colaborado en la reelaboraci(cid:243)n de la legislaci(cid:243)n aduanera de Albania; Considerando que la Sra. Cea ha denunciado graves intimidaciones y dificultades en el desarrollo de su cometido; Considerando que el Departamento de Aduanas italiano, del que depende la Sra. Cea, ha apoyado activamente y ha evaluado positivamente el trabajo de la jefa de la misi(cid:243)n y que, tras haber tomado nota de su solicitud de traslado, ha presentado a la Comisi(cid:243)n una propuesta de sustituci(cid:243)n, confirmando as(cid:237) su voluntad de continuar la dif(cid:237)cil misi(cid:243)n, con objeto de hacer frente a la ilegalidad y aumentar la lucha contra la delincuencia; 1. 2. ¿CuÆl es la opini(cid:243)n de la Comisi(cid:243)n sobre la situaci(cid:243)n en Albania en este delicado y espec(cid:237)fico sector de cooperaci(cid:243)n? ¿No considera la Comisi(cid:243)n que es necesario reforzar esta misi(cid:243)n y brindarle una ayuda activa para que pueda hacer frente a los obstÆculos que encuentra? C 303 E/190 Diario Oficial de las Comunidades Europeas ES 24. 10. 2000 3. A la vista del compromiso y la experiencia espec(cid:237)fica adquirida en este Æmbito por el Departamento de Aduanas italiano, ¿no cree la Comisi(cid:243)n oportuno, con objeto de garantizar la continuidad de la eficacia de esta misi(cid:243)n, mantener una relaci(cid:243)n estrecha con el Departamento de Aduanas italiano y dar prioridad a la candidatura presentada en sustituci(cid:243)n de la Sra. Cea? Respuesta del Sr. Patten en nombre de la Comisi(cid:243)n (13 de marzo de 2000) A ra(cid:237)z de la crisis de 1997, en junio de ese aæo se abri(cid:243) la misi(cid:243)n de asistencia a las aduanas 1. albanesas, con el fin de prestar apoyo a una reforma en profundidad del Servicio de aduanas de Albania, entonces en plena delicuescencia, y garantizar al presupuesto estatal albanØs una recuperaci(cid:243)n de sus ingresos (2/3 de los ingresos del presupuesto procede de los derechos de aduana). Este objetivo se logr(cid:243) rÆpidamente y la obtenci(cid:243)n de los ingresos aduaneros continu(cid:243), manteniØndose a un nivel satisfactorio. Se emprendieron algunas reformas en profundidad, principalmente con la introducci(cid:243)n de un nuevo C(cid:243)digo aduanero en 1999 y con la puesta a punto de un plan de actuaci(cid:243)n del Servicio de las aduanas. La persona mencionada por Su Seæor(cid:237)a desempeæ(cid:243) las funciones de jefe de esa misi(cid:243)n de asistencia. El Director general del departamento de aduanas e impuestos indirectos del Ministerio de Hacienda italiano ha informado a la Comisi(cid:243)n de su deseo de reincorporar a sus servicios a la persona citada por Su Seæor(cid:237)a. 2. Por lo que a la Comisi(cid:243)n se refiere es necesario seguir los esfuerzos emprendidos y ajustarlos a las necesidades futuras expresadas por las autoridades albanesas. La creaci(cid:243)n de una estructura administrativa aduanera estable es una condici(cid:243)n previa a la participaci(cid:243)n de Albania en el proceso de estabilizaci(cid:243)n y asociaci(cid:243)n de la Uni(cid:243)n. 3. Una de las condiciones necesarias para un trabajo eficaz por parte de toda misi(cid:243)n de asistencia es la puesta a disposici(cid:243)n de un equipo competente. La selecci(cid:243)n del nuevo jefe de la misi(cid:243)n se realizarÆ con arreglo a un procedimiento basado en la capacitaci(cid:243)n profesional de candidatos capaces de desenvolverse en un entorno tan particular como el que actualmente existe en Albania. (2000/C 303 E/217) PREGUNTA ESCRITA P-0412/00 de Olivier Dupuis (TDI) a la Comisi(cid:243)n (9 de febrero de 2000) Asunto: Art(cid:237)culos 6 y 7 del Tratado de la Uni(cid:243)n Europea ¿No estima la Comisi(cid:243)n que ser(cid:237)a necesario aclarar cuanto antes las modalidades, los plazos y los criterios que sigue y seguirÆ para aplicar los art(cid:237)culos 6 y 7 del TUE, con el fin de evitar abusos pol(cid:237)ticos de las disposiciones del Tratado e injerencias indebidas en la vida pol(cid:237)tica de algunos Estados miembros, que nada tienen que ver con las violaciones efectivas y documentadas de los derechos humanos en otros Estados miembros? Respuesta del Sr. Vitorino en nombre de la Comisi(cid:243)n (23 de marzo de 2000) El art(cid:237)culo 6 del Tratado de la Uni(cid:243)n Europea expone los principios en los que se basa la Uni(cid:243)n, sin exigir ninguna medida de aplicaci(cid:243)n por parte de la Comunidad. El legislador define los criterios de aplicaci(cid:243)n del mecanismo previsto en el apartado 1 del art(cid:237)culo 7 del Tratado de la Uni(cid:243)n Europea, a saber, la constataci(cid:243)n de una violaci(cid:243)n «grave y persistente» por un Estado miembro de los principios enunciados en el art(cid:237)culo 6 del Tratado de la Uni(cid:243)n Europea. La Comisi(cid:243)n hace notar a Su Seæor(cid:237)a que el papel de esta Instituci(cid:243)n en este procedimiento no es comparable al que ejerce en el marco de un procedimiento normal por incumplimiento. Por œltimo, segœn la Comisi(cid:243)n, la naturaleza de la valoraci(cid:243)n requerida para la activaci(cid:243)n del procedi- miento previsto en el art(cid:237)culo 7 no es compatible con la determinaci(cid:243)n preestablecida de modalidades y criterios precisos

text: 24. 10. 2000 DA De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende C 303 E/189 Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Viviane Reding (27. marts 2000) I henhold til Domstolens retspraksis skal sport og sportsrelaterede aktiviteter s(cid:229)som tilrettel(cid:230)ggelse og transmission af sportsarrangementer overholde f(cid:230)llesskabsretten, for s(cid:229) vidt som de udgłr en łkonomisk virksomhed i den i traktatens artikel 2 anvendte betydning (1). F(cid:230)llesskabets konkurrenceregler g(cid:230)lder s(cid:229)ledes i princippet for de tilf(cid:230)lde, hvor sportsforbund foretager et samlet salg af fjernsynsrettighederne til de begivenheder, der arrangeres i disses regi. Det kan imidlertid ikke uden en forudg(cid:229)ende grundig undersłgelse af de konkrete kendsgerninger og omst(cid:230)ndigheder afgłres, hvorvidt et samlet salg af fjernsynsrettighederne til bobsl(cid:230)dearrangementer er i overensstemmelse med F(cid:230)llesskabets konkurrencelovgivning. I denne forbindelse błr det undersłges, om denne fremgangsm(cid:229)de p(cid:229)virker samhandelen mellem medlemsstater og begr(cid:230)nser konkurrencen p(cid:229) det p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende marked i m(cid:230)rkbart omfang, hvilket hłjst sandsynligt er tilf(cid:230)ldet, i hvert fald n(cid:229)r det samlede salg vedrłrer senderettigheder til stłrre arrangementer med et stort publikum, som s(cid:230)lges til en hłj pris. Hvad ang(cid:229)r den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser, g(cid:230)lder principperne om fri bev(cid:230)gelighed inden for det indre marked ogs(cid:229) for regler, hvis form(cid:229)l er at give kollektive bestemmelser for lłnarbejde, men som ikke hidrłrer fra en myndighed. Kommissionen har ikke modtaget nogen klager over eller anmeldelse af overtr(cid:230)delser af principperne om fri bev(cid:230)gelighed (is(cid:230)r fri bev(cid:230)gelighed for tjenesteydelser) i forbindelse med bobsl(cid:230)dearrangementer eller et samlet salg af fjernsynsrettighederne hertil. Da Kommissionen i łjeblikket behandler samlet salg af fjernsynsrettigheder til andre sportsarrangementer, og resultatet af denne behandling ogs(cid:229) vil v(cid:230)re af interesse for det samlede salg af fjernsynsrettigheder til bobsl(cid:230)dearrangementer, agter den ikke p(cid:229) nuv(cid:230)rende tidspunkt at undersłge dette spłrgsm(cid:229)l n(cid:230)rmere.

(2000/C 303 E/216) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL P-0405/00 af Pasqualina Napoletano (PSE) til Kommissionen Om: Den EU-finansierede task force for toldreformen i Albanien (9. februar 2000) Natalina Cea, der er leder af den EU-finansierede task force for toldreformen i Albanien, har for nylig meddelt, at hun agter at ophłre med det arbejde, som hun med stor faglig kunnen har udfłrt i tre (cid:229)r, hvor hun engageret og modigt har udłvet sine funktioner. Denne task force har opn(cid:229)et positive resultater, har atter f(cid:229)et det albanske toldsystem til at fungere og p(cid:229) den m(cid:229)de łget denne stats indt(cid:230)gter enormt, samtidig med at den har ydet en afgłrende assistance ved revisionen af den albanske toldlovgivning. Natalina Cea har imidlertid berettet om, at der under udfłrelsen af hendes arbejde har hersket en ubehagelig atmosf(cid:230)re pr(cid:230)get af trusler og problemer. Det italienske toldv(cid:230)sen, hvorfra Natalina Cea er udsendt, har hele tiden aktivt stłttet task force-lederens arbejde og v(cid:230)rdsat det og har efter at have modtaget hendes anmodning om at blive udskiftet foresl(cid:229)et Kommissionen at erstatte hende og har s(cid:229)ledes bekr(cid:230)ftet, at det virkelig łnsker at viderefłre den vanskelige igangv(cid:230)rende indsats med det m(cid:229)l for łje at modvirke ulovlighederne og intensivere kampen mod kriminaliteten. Vil Kommissionen p(cid:229) den baggrund oplyse, 1. hvorledes den bedłmmer situationen i Albanien p(cid:229) dette s(cid:230)rlige og łmt(cid:229)lelige samarbejdsomr(cid:229)de? 2. om ikke den mener, at denne task force błr udvides yderligere og stłttes aktivt, ogs(cid:229) p(cid:229) baggrund af de hindringer, der hidtil er blevet lagt i vejen for den? C 303 E/190 De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende DA 24. 10. 2000 3. om ikke den i betragtning af det italienske toldv(cid:230)sens indsats og specifikke indhłstede erfaringer p(cid:229) dette omr(cid:229)de mener, at det for at sikre denne task forces fortsatte effektivitet ville v(cid:230)re hensigtsm(cid:230)s- sigt at holde n(cid:230)r kontakt med det italienske toldv(cid:230)sen og i fłrste r(cid:230)kke tage den kandidat i betragtning, som dette allerede har bakket op som efterfłlger for Natalina Cea? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Christopher Patten (13. marts 2000) 1. Som fłlge af krisen i 1997 blev der i juni samme (cid:229)r oprettet en taskforce med henblik p(cid:229) at stłtte en gennemgribende reform af det albanske toldv(cid:230)sen, der var ved at g(cid:229) fuldst(cid:230)ndig i oplłsning, og sikre, at der blev rettet op p(cid:229) indt(cid:230)gtssiden i det albanske statsbudget (2/3 af budgetindt(cid:230)gterne hidrłrer fra told). Dette m(cid:229)l blev hurtigt n(cid:229)et, og opkr(cid:230)vningen af toldindt(cid:230)gterne har siden v(cid:230)ret p(cid:229) et tilfredsstillende niveau. Der er foretaget en r(cid:230)kke gennemgribende reformer, bl. a. indfłrelsen af en ny toldkodeks i 1999 og udarbejdelsen af en handlingsplan for toldv(cid:230)senet. Den person, som det (cid:230)rede medlem omtaler, har ledet denne taskforce. Generaldirektłren for det italienske finansministeriums tjeneste for told og indirekte skatter har meddelt Kommissionen, at han łnsker, at den p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende person genoptager sin funktion i ministeriet. Kommissionen finder, at reformarbejdet błr forts(cid:230)ttes og tilpasses de albanske myndigheders frem- toldadministrationsstruktur er en foruds(cid:230)tning for Albaniens 2. tidige behov. Oprettelsen af en stabil deltagelse i EU(cid:146)s stabiliserings- og associeringsproces. 3.
