C 377/330 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 29. 12. 2000 Thursday 16 March 2000 % having regard to the report of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs and the opinions of the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy, the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market, the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities, the Committee on Peti- tions and the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (A5-0064/2000), A. whereas the Union is founded on the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law (Article 6 of the EU Treaty), B. whereas the creation of an ever closer Union among the peoples of Europe (Article 1 of the EU Treaty) and the maintenance and development of the Union as an area of freedom, security and justice (Article 2 of the EU Treaty) are based on general and absolute respect for human dignity, which is unique to each person, yet common to all, and inviolable, C. whereas the Union must respect ‘fundamental rights, as guaranteed by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms signed in Rome on 4 November 1950 and as they result from the constitutional traditions common to the Member States, as general princi- ples of Community law’ (Article 6 of the EU Treaty), D. whereas some specific rights are already enshrined in the Treaties, E. whereas the fundamental freedoms and rights unavoidably stemming from the recognition of human dignity require genuine, comprehensive legal protection and effective legal guarantees, F. whereas the primacy of Union law and significant powers of its institutions, which affect individuals, make it necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights at European Union level, G. whereas the increase in the powers of the Union and the European Community, especially in the sensitive field of internal security, together with the limits on parliamentary or judicial controls in that field, make it obvious that there is an urgent need for a European Charter of Fundamental Rights, H. whereas as the Union develops an imbalance must not be created between the objective of security and the principles of freedom and law, I. whereas fundamental freedoms can be restricted without parliamentary approval, both in the frame- work of the Union Treaty and of Community law, despite the fact that this is incompatible with the constitutional traditions common to the Member States, J. whereas, even in the case of legitimate restrictions of fundamental rights, the inherent nature of such rights may in no case be infringed, K. whereas the economic aspect of European integration must henceforth be supplemented by a genuine political, democratic and social union, L. whereas fundamental social freedoms ought to be strengthened and developed at European Union level, M. whereas the Union’s common foreign and security policy, which will in future include defence, must be developed in compliance with fundamental rights, N. whereas new conflicts with fundamental freedoms can arise from developments in, for example, bio- technology or information technology, and whereas a consensus on fundamental rights at European level constitutes an important contribution towards finding a global solution to the problem, O. whereas there are serious indications of a rise in racism and xenophobia, 29. 12. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 377/331 Thursday 16 March 2000 P. whereas it is important that, while respecting the role of every national language, the European Union and its Member States attend to the protection of the diversity of the languages and cultures of Eur- ope, especially regional and minority languages and cultures, and to this end guarantee to the citizens of the Union, through appropriate means of support, that they can maintain and develop their own languages and cultures in the public and private domain, Q. whereas the human right to asylum must be maintained according to the provisions of the Geneva Refugee Convention, R. whereas a European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights, in the same way as national provisions concerning fundamental rights, should not in any way conflict with the European Convention on Human Rights, S. whereas the Union’s accession to the European Convention on Human Rights following the necessary amendments to the Treaty on European Union would represent an important step towards the strengthening of the protection of fundamental rights in the Union, T. whereas the creation of an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe is inseparably linked with the task of increasing, in addition to fundamental rights, citizens’ rights, namely the political, eco- nomic and social rights associated with Union citizenship, U. whereas a charter of fundamental rights constituting merely a non-binding declaration and, in addi- tion, doing no more than merely listing existing rights, would disappoint citizens’ legitimate expecta- tions, V. whereas the Charter of Fundamental Rights should be regarded as a basic component of the necessary process of equipping the European Union with a constitution, 1. Welcomes the drafting of a European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights, which will contribute to defining a collective patrimony of values and principles and a shared system of fundamental rights which bind citizens together and underpin the Union’s internal policies and its policies involving third countries; welcomes therefore the progress made in this connection since the European Council meeting in Tampere, in particular the establishment of the joint Convention composed of representatives of the Heads of State and Government, the European Parliament, the parliaments of the Member States and the Commission; 2. Notes that the establishment of a binding European list of fundamental rights will confer a more secure legal and moral basis on the process of European integration, will give concrete form to the com- mon basis that exists at the level of the constitutional state and will provide more transparency and clarity for citizens; Offers its full support and cooperation in drafting the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European 3. Union; Notes that the recognition and shaping of fundamental and citizens’ rights is one of the primary tasks 4. of parliaments; Calls on its delegation to the Convention drafting the charter vigorously to defend the position set 5. out in this resolution; Intends to vote in plenary on the adoption of the Charter at the appropriate time and deems it 6. advisable to publish in advance its objectives regarding the Charter of Fundamental Rights as set out here- under; Points out that its final assent to a Charter of Fundamental Rights depends to a large extent upon 7. whether the charter: (a) has fully binding legal status by being incorporated into the Treaty on European Union; (b) subjects any amendment to the Charter to the same procedure as its original drafting, including the formal right of assent for the European Parliament; C 377/332 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 29. 12. 2000 Thursday 16 March 2000 (c) contains a clause, requiring the consent of the European Parliament whenever fundamental rights are to be restricted in any circumstances whatsoever; (d) contains a clause stipulating that none of its provisions may be interpreted in a restrictive manner with regard to the protection guaranteed by Article 6(2) of the Treaty on European Union; (e) includes such fundamental rights as the right of association in trade unions and the right to strike; (f) recognises that fundamental rights are indivisible by making the charter applicable to all the European Union’s institutions and bodies and all its policies, including those contained in the second and third pillars in the context of the powers and functions conferred upon it by the Treaties; (g) is binding upon the Member States when applying or transposing provisions of Community law; (h) is innovative in nature by also giving legal protection to the peoples of the European Union in respect of new threats to fundamental rights, for example from the fields of information technology and biotechnologies, and confirms, as an integral part of fundamental rights, and especially women’s rights, the general non-discrimination clause and environmental protection; Resolves to hold a scientific colloquium to advise Parliament and to carry out public hearings of 8. representatives of society in general; 9. Will strongly support initiatives for a broad societal discussion in the Member States, involving social partners, NGOs and other representatives of civil society; Calls for recognition of the contribution that can be made by organisations representing civil 10. society to the drafting of the Charter; 11. Proposes to grant the States applying for accession observer status in the Convention drafting the Charter and to begin a continuous exchange of opinions with them in the context of the European Con- ference; Emphasises that the charter should not replace or weaken Member States’ provisions concerning 12. fundamental rights; Supports the agreement reached by the Convention that the charter should be drafted on the pre- 13. sumption that it will have full legal force; 14. Emphasises the need to incorporate in the charter, in addition to the rights already enshrined in the EU Treaty, the standards applicable to the Union that are set out in the international conventions signed by the Member States within the context of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the International Labour Organisation and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe; 15. Calls upon the IGC to: (a) put the incorporation into the Treaty of the Charter of Fundamental Rights on its agenda and to give it at that conference the position which it deserves in view of its paramount importance for an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe; (b) enable the Union to become a party to the ECHR so as to establish close cooperation with the Council of Europe, whilst ensuring that appropriate action is taken to avoid possible conflicts or overlapping between the Court of Justice of the European Communities and the European Court of Human Rights; (c) add a reference to the European Social Charter and to the appropriate ILO and UN conventions to the reference to the European Convention on Human Rights in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union; (d) give all persons protected under the charter access to the Court of Justice of the European Commu- nities by supplementing existing mechanisms for judicial review; 16. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Convention responsible for drafting the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights, the Intergovernmental Conference, the Council, the par- liaments of the Member States, the Commission and the Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights

(1) DO L 145 de 13. 6. 1977, p. 1 (EE CH 9 V 1, p. 54). Respuesta del Sr. Bolkestein en nombre de la Comisi(cid:243)n (26 de abril de 2000) El apartado 5 del art(cid:237)culo 4 de la Sexta Directiva 77/388/CEE del Consejo, de 17 de mayo de 1977, en materia de armonizaci(cid:243)n de las legislaciones de los Estados Miembros relativas a los impuestos sobre el volumen de negocios (cid:129) sistema comœn del impuesto sobre el valor aæadido: base imponible uniforme, prevØ que los Estados miembros podrÆn considerar como actividades de la autoridad pœblica las actividades de los organismos de derecho pœblico que estØn exentas en virtud de los art(cid:237)culos 13 (cid:243) 28. Si se decanta por esta opci(cid:243)n, un Estado miembro puede considerar que algunas actividades situadas dentro del Æmbito de aplicaci(cid:243)n del IVA, segœn los principios generales, pero exoneradas en virtud del art(cid:237)culo 13 (como la hospitalizaci(cid:243)n y la asistencia mØdica prestada por organismos de derecho pœblico), estÆn fuera del Æmbito de aplicaci(cid:243)n del IVA. En ninguno de los dos casos se deberÆ pagar este œltimo. En cambio, tal como seæala Su Seæor(cid:237)a con mucha raz(cid:243)n, esta opci(cid:243)n influye en la determinaci(cid:243)n del lugar las de imposici(cid:243)n de algunos gastos contra(cid:237)dos por estos organismos de derecho pœblico. As(cid:237) pues, prestaciones en materia de investigaci(cid:243)n proporcionadas por un sujeto pasivo a un hospital de derecho pœblico deben gravarse en el Estado miembro donde se encuentra dicho hospital (segœn los principios generales) o en el Estado miembro donde estÆ establecido el prestador de servicios (cuando el Estado miembro en el que se encuentra el hospital de derecho pœblico se ha decantado por la opci(cid:243)n antes citada). Hay que seæalar que, en el rØgimen actual del IVA, existen varios casos en los que la calidad del destinatario determina el lugar de imposici(cid:243)n de las operaciones. En tales casos, incumbe en primer lugar al proveedor informarse acerca de la calidad de su cliente. Los Estados miembros disponen de instrumentos adecuados a escala comunitaria para poder ejercer un control eficaz sobre estas operaciones. La Directiva 77/799/CEE del Consejo, de 19 de diciembre de 1977, relativa a la asistencia mutua entre las autoridades competentes de los Estados Miembros en el Æmbito de los impuestos directos (1), establece normas comunes en materia de intercambios de informaci(cid:243)n entre los Estados miembros. AdemÆs la Comisi(cid:243)n cuenta con un comitØ permanente sobre cooperaci(cid:243)n adminis- trativa, que ofrece a los representantes de las administraciones nacionales un foro para discutir todos los asuntos relativos a esta cooperaci(cid:243)n. Por œltimo, el rØgimen fiscal de las autoridades pœblicas, as(cid:237) como el Æmbito de aplicaci(cid:243)n de las exenciones para algunas actividades de interØs general, son temas que la Comisi(cid:243)n tiene previsto volver a examinar dentro del ejercicio de modernizaci(cid:243)n del rØgimen actual de IVA, a fin de garantizar una aplicaci(cid:243)n mÆs uniforme de ambos aspectos.

text: C 330 E/214 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 21. 11. 2000 It is possible that funded provision for old age will become more important, but pay-as-you-go pension schemes can be expected to continue providing the largest share in the total income of pensioners in most Member States. Furthermore, it cannot be assumed that funded pension schemes will remain unaffected by demographic change, although the impact of such change on asset prices and returns is more difficult to predict than the impact on the financial equilibrium of pay-as-you-go systems. This being said, the Commission believes that actions can be taken at Community level in order to enhance the efficiency of funded pension schemes. Several concrete proposals were made in its commu- nication (cid:145)Towards a single market for supplementary pensions (cid:129) Results of the consultations on the Green Paper on supplementary pensions in the single market(cid:146) (2) of 11 May 1999 including liberalisation of investment and management rules in order to take advantage of Community-wide capital markets, possibility for pension funds to manage pension plans on a cross-border basis, and transferability of supplementary pension rights. As a first step, the Commission plans to adopt by mid-2000 a proposal for a directive on pension funds. This proposal will establish strict prudential standards in order to protect the future pensioners and contain investment rules allowing pension funds to optimise the rights of performance and security of their investments. It will also aim at the mutual recognition of national prudential systems so as to facilitate cross-border affiliation. In its communication (cid:145)A concerted strategy for modernising social protection(cid:146) (3) of 14 July 1999, the Commission stressed the need (cid:145)to make pensions safe and pension systems sustainable(cid:146). This was endorsed by the Council on 17 December 1999 when it called for a group of high-level officials to be set up for the implementation of the action proposed in the communication. The group has now been established on an interim basis and pensions are one of the initial issues it has decided to focus on. The Commission has adopted a proposal for a Council decision which would formalise the group (4). The Lisbon special European Council of 23-24 March 2000 has given the group the task of exploring the long term sustainability of pension schemes. (1) COM(1999) 221 final. (2) COM(1999) 134 final.

(2000/C 330 E/249) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0795/00 by Stephen Hughes (PSE) to the Commission (16 March 2000) Subject: Lucent Technologies In mid-1999 Angela Elliot Mathis, a British citizen and a senior executive and board member of Lucent Technologies in Belgium, was dismissed without warning and with no reason given for the dismissal. She had been (cid:145)head hunted(cid:146) from outside Belgium into the company just 13 months earlier because of her excellent record in the IT sector and her record of performance with the company offers no explanation for her dismissal. Under Belgian law she had no protection or rights against dismissal under these conditions. Does the Commission agree that individuals will be increasingly unlikely to take advantage of the possibility to move and work wherever they like within the EU unless minimum social guarantees, such as those on individual dismissals, are put in place throughout the EU? Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission (11 April 2000) As regards protection against individual dismissals in the context of free movement of workers, Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of the Council of 15 October 1968 on freedom of movement for workers 21. 11. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 330 E/215 within the Community (1) provides that (cid:145)A worker who is a national of a Member State may not, in the territory of another Member State, be treated differently from national workers by reason of his nationality in respect of any conditions of employment and work, in particular as regards remuneration, dismissal, and should he become unemployed, reinstatement or re-employment(cid:146). According to the information available to the Commission, the protection against individual dismissals in Belgium depends, in some cases, on the earnings of the individual employee. For employees above a certain earnings ceiling the protection against dismissal is agreed in the individual contract of employment. (1) OJ L 257, 19. 10. 1968. (2000/C 330 E/250) WRITTEN QUESTION P-0809/00 by Harlem DØsir (PSE) to the Commission (10 March 2000) Subject: Condemnation by the WTO(cid:146)s body of appeal of the tax treatment of foreign sales corporations (FSCs) in the USA On 24 February 2000 the WTO(cid:146)s body of appeal published its report on the tax treatment of foreign sales corporations (FSCs) in the USA. This report upholds the condemnation of the tax arrangements under which some 50 % of American exports benefit from a tax refund which is tantamount to an export subsidy totalling some $ US 4 billion annually. Although European companies are not the only ones affected, they are among those hardest hit. Will the Commission say why, having condemned these practices, the WTO has not fixed the amount of compensation due to the European Union and why the Commission itself which is responsible for protecting the Union(cid:146)s commercial interests has failed to take any action vis-(cid:224)-vis the United States to obtain compensation, bearing in mind that the latter is continuing to take retaliatory measures against the European Union over bananas and beef treated with hormones and the WTO itself has acknowledged that the commercial losses incurred by the EU are far higher? Answer given by Mr Lamy on behalf of the Commission (30 March 2000) Under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) ruling on Foreign Sales Corporations (FSC), the United States have until 1 October 2000 to bring their legislation into line with the conclusions of the panel and the appelate body. If, at that date, the United States have not abolished the FSC status or amended it so as to bring it into line with WTO regulations, the Community will be able to exercise its rights as laid down in article 22 of the memorandum on dispute settlement, and either obtain compensation from the United States, or suspend equivalent concessions, as the United States themselves have done in the cases of hormone-treated beef and bananas. (2000/C 330 E/251) WRITTEN QUESTION P-0810/00 by Pasqualina Napoletano (PSE) to the Commission (10 March 2000) Subject: Situation of dentists in Italy In 1985 Italy transposed the 1978 EU directive on dentistry by means of Law 409/85, which was to apply, inter alia, to graduates in medicine who had registered at university prior to 28/1/1980. This gab between 1978 and 1985 meant that thousands of young people took up medical studies after 1980 with the to do so by the 1985 law intention of becoming dentists and were retroactively denied the right

text: 17. 3. 2000 FR Journal officiel des Communautés européennes L 69/9 RÈGLEMENT (CE) No 572/2000 DE LA COMMISSION du 16 mars 2000 fixant les restitutions à l'exportation dans le secteur du lait et des produits laitiers LA COMMISSION DES COMMUNAUTÉS EUROPÉENNES, commerce notamment: international étant établis compte tenu vu le traité instituant la Communauté européenne, a) des prix pratiqués sur les marchés des pays tiers; vu le règlement (CE) no 1255/1999 du Conseil du 17 mai 1999 portant organisation commune des marchés dans le secteur du lait et des produits laitiers (1), et notamment son article 31 paragraphe 3, considérant ce qui suit: (1) (2) En vertu de l'article 31 du règlement (CE) no 1255/1999, la différence entre les prix dans le commerce interna- tional des produits visés à l'article 1er dudit règlement et les prix de ces produits dans la Communauté peut être couverte par une restitution à l'exportation dans les limites découlant des accords conclus en conformité avec l'article 300 du traité. Aux termes du règlement (CE) no 1255/1999, les restitu- tions pour les produits visés à l'article 1er dudit règle- ment, exportés en l'état, doivent être fixées en prenant en considération: — la situation et les perspectives d'évolution, sur le marché de la Communauté, en ce qui concerne le prix et les disponibilités du lait et des produits laitiers ainsi que, dans le commerce international, en ce qui concerne les prix du lait et des produits laitiers, — les frais de commercialisation et les frais de transport les plus favorables à partir du marché de la Commu- nauté jusqu'aux ports ou autres lieux d'exportation de la Communauté, ainsi que les frais d'approche jusqu'aux pays de destination, — les objectifs de l'organisation commune des marchés dans le secteur du lait et des produits laitiers, qui sont d'assurer à ces marchés une situation équilibrée et un développement naturel sur le plan des prix et des échanges, — les limites découlant des accords conclus en confor- mité avec l'article 300 du traité, — l'intérêt d'éviter des perturbations sur le marché de la Communauté, — l'aspect économique des exportations envisagées. (3) Aux termes de l'article 31 paragraphe 5 du règlement (CE) no 1255/1999, les prix dans la Communauté sont établis compte tenu des prix pratiqués qui se révèlent les plus favorables en vue de l'exportation, les prix dans le (1) JO L 160 du 26. 6. 1999, p. 48. (4) (5) (6) b) des prix les plus favorables, à l'importation, en prove- nance des pays tiers, dans les pays tiers de destina- tion; c) des prix à la production constatés dans les pays tiers exportateurs compte tenu, le cas échéant, des subven- tions accordées par ces pays; d) des prix d'offre franco frontière de la Communauté. Au titre de l'article 31 paragraphe 3 du règlement (CE) no 1255/1999, la situation du marché mondial ou les exigences spécifiques de certains marchés peuvent rendre nécessaire la différenciation de la restitution pour les produits visés à l'article 1er dudit règlement suivant leur destination. L'article 31 paragraphe 3 du règlement (CE) no 1255/ 1999 prévoit que la liste des produits pour lesquels il est accordé une restitution à l'exportation et le montant de cette restitution sont fixés au moins une fois toutes les quatre semaines. Toutefois, le montant de la restitution peut être maintenu au même niveau pendant plus de quatre semaines. Aux termes de l'article 16 du règlement (CE) no 174/ 1999 de la Commission, du 26 janvier 1999, établissant les modalités particulières d'application du règlement (CEE) no 804/68 du Conseil en ce qui concerne les certificats d'exportation et des restitutions à l'exportation dans le secteur du lait et des produits laitiers (2), modifié par le règlement (CE) no 1596/1999 (3). La restitution accordée pour les produits laitiers sucrés est égale à la somme de deux éléments; l'un est destiné à tenir compte de la quantité de produits laitiers et est calculé en multi- pliant le montant de base par la teneur en produits laitiers du produit concerné. L'autre est destiné à tenir compte de la quantité de saccharose ajoutée et est calculé en multipliant par la teneur en saccharose du produit entier le montant de base de la restitution valable le jour de l'exportation pour les produits visés à l'article 1er paragraphe 1 point d) du règlement (CE) no 2038/1999 du Conseil, du 13 septembre 1999, portant organisation commune des marchés dans le secteur du sucre (4). Toutefois, ce dernier élément n'est retenu que si le saccharose ajouté a été produit à partir de betteraves ou de cannes à sucre récoltées dans la Communauté. (2) JO L 20 du 27. 1. 1999, p. 8. (3) JO L 188 du 21. 7. 1999, p. 39. (4) JO L 252 du 25. 9. 1999, p. 1. L 69/10 FR Journal officiel des Communautés européennes 17. 3. 2000 (7) (8) (9) Le règlement (CEE) no 896/84 de la Commission (1), modifié en dernier lieu par le règlement (CEE) no 222/ 88 (2), a prévu des dispositions complémentaires en ce qui concerne l'octroi des restitutions lors des change- ments de campagne. Ces dispositions prévoient la possi- bilité de différencier les restitutions en fonction de la date de fabrication des produits. Pour le calcul du montant de la restitution pour les fromages fondus, il est nécessaire de prévoir que, dans le cas où de la caséine et/ou des caséinates sont ajoutées, cette quantité ne doit pas être prise en considération. L'application de ces modalités à la situation actuelle des marchés dans le secteur du lait et des produits laitiers, et notamment aux prix de ces produits dans la Commu- nauté et sur le marché mondial, conduit à fixer la restitu- tion pour les produits et les montants repris à l'annexe du présent règlement. (10) Le comité de gestion du lait et des produits laitiers n'a pas émis d'avis dans le délai imparti par son président, A ARRÊTÉ LE PRÉSENT RÈGLEMENT: Article premier Les restitutions à l'exportation visées à l'article 31 du 1. règlement (CE) no 1255/1999 pour les produits exportés en l'état sont fixées aux montants repris en annexe. 2. Il n'est pas fixé de restitution pour les exportations vers la destination no 400 pour les produits relevant des codes NC 0401, 0402, 0403, 0404, 0405 et 2309. 3. Il n'est pas fixé de restitution pour les exportations vers les destinations nos 021, 023, 024, 028, 043, 044, 045, 046, 052, 404, 600, 800 et 804 pour les produits relevant du code NC 0406. Article 2 Le présent règlement entre en vigueur le 17 mars 2000. Le présent règlement est obligatoire dans tous ses éléments et directement applicable dans tout État membre.

title: SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-0801/00 van Michel Hansenne (PPE-DE) aan de Commissie. Dienstverlening aan Franse staatsziekenhuizen.

text: 28. 12. 2000 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen C 374 E/159 (2000/C 374 E/188) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-0801/00 van Michel Hansenne (PPE-DE) aan de Commissie Betreft: Dienstverlening aan Franse staatsziekenhuizen (16 maart 2000) Wanneer een onderzoeksbureau dat in Belgiº BTW-plichtig is, voor een Frans staatsziekenhuis diensten verricht, zoals bedoeld in artikel 9, lid 2, e) van Richtlijn 77/388/EEG (1), welke instelling is dan voor dergelijke diensten BTW verschuldigd en in welk land? Zou het antwoord gelijkluidend zijn indien identieke diensten door dezelfde dienstverlener zouden worden verricht voor een ziekenhuis in, bijvoorbeeld, het Verenigd Koninkrijk of een andere lidstaat die geen gebruik heeft gemaakt van de optie in artikel 4, lid 5, laatste alinea, van Richtlijn 77/388/EEG? Heeft de Commissie aan de nationale overheden en de economische actoren een uitgebreide lijst ter beschikking gesteld waaruit blijkt in welke gevallen BTW verschuldigd is wanneer een lidstaat gebruik maakt van de optie in artikel 4, laatste alinea, van Richtlijn 77/388/EEG? Is zij van mening dat het de taak van de nationale overheden en de economische actoren zelf is zich op de hoogte te stellen van de wetgeving in het land van de ontvanger van de diensten ten einde vast te stellen of BTW al dan niet in het land van de dienstverlener verschuldigd is? Is zij niet van mening dat het niet-verspreiden van bepaalde informatie over de tenuitvoerlegging van de zesde BTW-richtlijn leidt tot belastinguitval wegens onwetend- heid van belastingplichtigen en controlerende ambtenaren? (1) PB L 145 van 13. 6. 1977, blz. 1. Antwoord van de heer Bolkestein namens de Commissie (26 april 2000) Artikel 4, lid 5, van de Zesde Richlijn 77/388/EEG van de Raad van 17 mei 1977 betreffende de harmonisatie van de wetgevingen der lidstaten inzake omzetbelasting (cid:129) Gemeenschappelijk stelsel van belastingen over de toegevoegde waarde (cid:129) uniforme grondslag bepaalt dat de lidstaten de werkzaamheden van publiekrechtelijke lichamen als werkzaamheden van de overheid kunnen beschouwen die zijn vrij- gesteld uit hoofde van de artikelen 13 of 28. Wanneer gebruik wordt gemaakt van deze optie kan een lidstaat besluiten dat werkzaamheden die volgens de algemene beginselen aan BTW zijn onderworpen maar zijn vrijgesteld uit hoofde van artikel 13 (zoals ziekenhuisopname en medische verzorging die wordt verstrekt door publiekrechtelijke lichamen) niet aan BTW zijn onderworpen. In geen van beide gevallen is BTW verschuldigd over de dienstverlening. Het geachte parlementslid merkt daarentegen terecht op dat deze optie gevolgen heeft voor het vaststellen van de plaats van belastingheffing voor bepaalde uitgaven die deze publiekrechtelijke lichamen hebben gedaan. Wanneer een belastingplichtige onderzoek verricht ten behoeve van een openbaar ziekenhuis dan is hij belasting verschuldigd in de lidstaat waar het openbaar ziekenhuis is gevestigd (volgens de algemene beginselen) of in de lidstaat waar de belastingplichtige is gevestigd (wanneer de lidstaat waarin het openbaar ziekenhuis is gevestigd is opgericht bovengenoemde optie heeft uitgesloten). Bij de huidige BTW-regeling zijn er verschillende gevallen te noemen waarin degeen aan wie de dienst wordt verstrekt bepalend is voor de plaats van heffing. In dergelijke gevallen is het in de eerste plaats de taak van de dienstverlener zich te informeren over de positie van zijn klant. De lidstaten beschikken op communautair niveau over de juiste instrumenten om te kunnen zorgen voor een doelmatige controle op deze verrichtingen. Richtlijn 77/799/EEG van de Raad van 19 december 1977 betreffende de wederzijdse bijstand van de bevoegde autoriteiten van de lidstaten op het gebied van de directe belastingen (1) bepaalt met betrekking tot de wederzijdse bijstand tussen lidstaten de gemeenschap- pelijke voorschriften op het gebied van de uitwisseling van informatie tussen lidstaten. Voorts beheert de Commissie een Permanent ComitØ inzake administratieve samenwerking dat de vertegenwoordigers van de nationale overheden een forum biedt voor de bespreking van kwesties in verband met deze samenwerking. Tot slot zijn de belastingregelingen van de nationale autoriteiten alsmede de vrijstellingen ten behoeve van bepaalde werkzaamheden in het algemeen belang onderwerpen die de Commisie wil onderzoeken in het kader van de modernisering van de huidige BTW-regeling met het oog op een meer uniforme toepassing ervan.

text: C 303 E/208 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee IT 24. 10. 2000 il diritto comunitario non limita la competenza degli Stati membri nell(cid:146)organizzazione dei Peraltro, rispettivi sistemi di previdenza sociale. Pertanto, in assenza di armonizzazione in materia di previdenza sociale a livello comunitario, la legislazione di ogni Stato membro determina liberamente le condizioni di applicazione del diritto o dell(cid:146)obbligo di iscrizione a un regime di previdenza sociale, nonchØ le condizioni che danno diritto a prestazioni sociali. Tali principi risultano da una costante giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia, menzionata segnatamente in corrispondenza di punti 17 e 18 della sentenza del 28 aprile 1998, C-158/96. Per quanto precede, il diritto comunitario non si oppone al fatto che i Paesi Bassi (cid:129) il cui sistema di previdenza sociale Ł fondato su un criterio di residenza (cid:129) facciano dipendere l(cid:146)accesso alla loro normativa sulle spese eccezionali di malattia (AWBZ) all(cid:146)esigenza di una condizione di residenza sul territorio nazionale.

He added the rider, (cid:145)so that the Food Authority is not merely telling scare stories from an ivory tower(cid:146). Furthermore, Commissioner Byrne stated that the Food Authority should draw on advisory research that may have been commissioned by outside organisations in the Member States. With these points in mind, could the Commission please comment on this obvious opportunity to address positively the issue of fortification. More particularly, does the Commission support the need to authorise and regulate disease-risk reduction information on food packs providing customers with positive health- related information about food? Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (3 May 2000) As mentioned in the white paper on food safety (1), adopted by the Commission on 12 January 2000, a proposal for a Parliament and Council directive on on fortified food is foreseen for September 2000. At present, the Commission is studying the issue of food fortification in depth with a view to preparing such a proposal. It is difficult at this stage to inform the Honourable Member about the proposal(cid:146)s orientation as work is still in a preliminary phase. Regarding the views of the Commission on claims concerning reduction of risk of disease, the Honourable Member is invited to refer to the answer given by the Commission to Written Question E-232/00 by Mrs Thomas-Mauro (2).
