WRITTEN QUESTION No. 199/96 by Christine CRAWLEY to the Commission. Veal crates  


Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0010 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-0199/96 by Christine Crawley (PSE) to the Commission (26 January 1996)Subject: Veal cratesWhat steps does the Commission propose taking in order to put a stop to the cruel practices of several Member States whereby calves are kept in appalling conditions in the notorious veal crates?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (9 February 1996)The Commission has recently adopted a report on the welfare of calves ((COM(95)711. )) and a draft proposal to amend Directive 91/629/EEC ((COM(96) 21. )) laying down minimum standards for the protection of calves. The report and the proposal are based on the opinion of the scientific veterinary committee. The proposal includes provisions on housing and space allowance. Under this proposal the use of individual pens for calves after the age of 8 weeks would be banned unless a veterinarian has certified that their health or behaviour requires them to be isolated in order to receive treatment. The proposal provides for the measures to be applied from 1 January 1998 on all newly built or rebuilt holdings and holdings brought into use for the first time, and from 1 January 2008 to all holdings.In addition a draft Commission decision, which proposes amendments to the Annex of the Directive, will be presented shortly to the standing veterinary committee.

Official Journal C 185 , 25/06/1996 P. 0036 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0098/96 by Odile Leperre-Verrier (ARE) to the Commission (26 January 1996)Subject: Aid for the Cahors region (département of Lot - France)In July 1995, hailstorms devastated part of the Cahors region, in the département of Lot (France), causing large-scale damage to vineyards and fruit trees.Can the Commission say what aid has been granted to the region to make good the estimated loss of FF 70 m?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (8 March 1996)The Commission received no request for aid following the natural disaster referred to by the honourable member. Indeed, it should be pointed out that the Community has no power to make good any damage or loss of revenue resulting from natural disasters.Nonetheless, support is available from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guidance Section, for restoring lost capacity in the agricultural and forestry sectors resulting from natural disasters, as part of rural development programmes falling under Objective 5(b).Assuming the area concerned is in an Objective 5(b) region, the first step would be for the prefect of the Midi-Pyrenees region, as the authority responsible for implementing the programme, to present proposals for action, and any changes in the programme which this may entail, to the monitoring committee. The proposals would then be considered in accordance with normal procedure.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 100/96 by Joaquín SISÓ CRUELLAS to the Commission. Falsifying wine products  


Official Journal C 185 , 25/06/1996 P. 0036 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0100/96 by Joaquín Sisó Cruellas (PPE) to the Commission (26 January 1996)Subject: Falsifying wine productsIn a unanimously adopted resolution of November 1995, the European Wine Growing Regions have called on the Union to fight the current upsurge of falsified wine products, particularly of products resembling sparkling wines sold in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The resolution claims that it is absolutely essential that 'all possible means, including criminal proceedings should be used to combat these fraudulent activities which are prejudicial to the interests of producers and consumers, and the Union should adopt adequate legal measures with all possible dispatch with a view to preventing their recurrence'.Is the Commission aware of the problem in question, and has it decided to take any measures to put a stop to it?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (14 February 1996)The Commission is aware of the problem to which the Honourable Member refers, namely the increasing sales of alcoholic beverages appearing to be sparkling wines. The Commission takes the view that the presentation of these products gives rise to confusion and is likely to mislead consumers as to their true nature and origin.As long as they pose no threat to health - which would seem to be the case - and are manufactured in accordance with the regulations governing the production of foodstuffs, there is no reason to prohibit the manufacture of these products. That being said, protection of the consumer and fair competition dictate that they cease to be labelled and presented in a manner designed to create confusion with sparkling wines.For that reason the Commission presented to the Council, in January 1996, a proposal for a Regulation amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 2333/92 on the description and presentation of sparkling wines. ((COM (96) 34. )) This amendment should satisfy the Honourable Member. It is planned to prohibit the use of the 'champagne' bottle for the products in question and require them to be labelled and presented in a way that prevents any confusion with sparkling wines.
