WRITTEN QUESTION No. 258/96 by Luigi MORETTI to the Council. Representation office in Brussels  


Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0013 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0258/96 by Luigi Moretti (ELDR) to the Council (12 February 1996)Subject: Representation office in BrusselsThe major newspapers have all carried reports of the opening of a small representation office in Brussels with a staff of four. This has led some Italian public prosecutor's offices to open a penal investigation into whether this constitutes a crime against the integrity, independence or unity of the State, which is punishable by life imprisonment under the Italian Penal Code.Is the Council aware of this worrying affair?Does it intend to take measures and, if so, of what kind, to ascertain whether or not such investigations are warranted, given that the general public (and I also share this view) considers them to be a somewhat sinister and basically anti-European development, in total opposition to the spirit of the Maastricht Treaty?How does the Council intend to respond to the requests made in this connection by several MEPs during the debate on the presentation of the Italian Presidency's programme of work during the European Parliament's plenary sitting of Wednesday 17 January 1996 in Strasbourg?What steps does the Council intend to take to put an end to such overtly political and intimidatory tactics designed to discourage private initiatives and repudiate the idea of building a united Europe, even though this was the stated intention of the states which signed the Maastricht Treaty?Joint answer to Written Questions E-0244/96, E-0258/96, E-0309/96 and E-0584/96 (3 June 1996)The Council has not been informed of the subject referred to by the Honourable Members nor indeed of the opening of information offices for other regions. This question does not fall within the jurisdiction of the Council.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 220/96 by Werner LANGEN to the Council. Restrictions on the rights of minorities in Greek schools  


Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0011 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0220/96 by Werner Langen (PPE) to the Council (12 February 1996)Subject: Restrictions on the rights of minorities in Greek schoolsIn Greece, schooling is compulsory for nine years. This is not the case, however, for children of the Turkish minority in Greece. There are two Turkish secondary schools in Western Thrace, one in Komotini and one in Xanthi.Hitherto, primary school-leavers have sat an examination in order to be able to attend these schools. Places are now to be allocated not on the basis of the entrance examination, but by drawing lots to select 60 and 30 pupils respectively for the schools in Komotini and Xanthi. This means that only 9% of Turkish children, selected by lot, can attend secondary school.1. Does the Council consider the measures introduced by the Greek authorities to be compatible with the obligation imposed by the Treaties to preserve the EU's multicultural character?2. If not, what action does it intend to take to effectively counter such restrictive measures, which are at odds with the basic European principle?Reply (3 June 1996)Article 126(1) of the Treaty on European Union provides in particular that 'the Community shall contribute to the development of quality education..... while fully respecting the responsibility of the Member States for the content of teaching and the organization of education systems and their cultural and linguistic diversity'.It is therefore not for the Council to intervene as regards the way in which education is organized by a Member State.
