WRITTEN QUESTION No. 386/96 by María IZQUIERDO ROJO to the Council. Lack of respect by the Belgian police for the European Union ' laissez-passer' and European Parliament credentials  


Official Journal C 185 , 25/06/1996 P. 0055 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-0386/96 by María Izquierdo Rojo (PSE) to the Council (14 February 1996)Subject: Lack of respect by the Belgian police for the European Union 'laissez-passer' and European Parliament credentialsIs the Council aware that the Belgian police show no respect for the European Union 'laissez-passer' and European Parliament credentials which identify us as MEPs?Does it realize that they ignore the request from the President of the European Parliament to allow the bearer of the laissez-passer to pass freely and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary?Why do they only recognize cards issued by the Belgian authorities and not those issued by the Union authorities? How can a Belgian police officer, with the assistance of two fellow-officers, rudely detain a Member of the European Parliament who identifies herself as such on the basis of 'laissez-passer' No. A6931 and the EP security pass, prevent her from going about her business and detain her for around 20 minutes because they do not consider the documents to be valid?Why did the Belgian police refuse to identify themselves for more than 10 minutes?Does the Council consider that this incident, which occurred at the passenger exit of Brussels Airport on Saturday, 3 February at 1.30 p.m., calls for some explanation from the Belgian authorities?Reply (20 May 1996)The action raised by the Honourable Member is a matter for the Belgian authorities, who have been informed.

Resolution on the posting of workers and transfer of pension rights  


Official Journal C 065 , 04/03/1996 P. 0095 





B4-0174, 0185, 0186, 0189 and 0201/96Resolution on the posting of workers and transfer of pension rightsThe European Parliament,- having regard to the Commission proposal to the Council for a Directive on the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services (COM(91)0230),- having regard to its opinion thereon at first reading on 10 February 1993 ((OJ C 72, 15.3.1993, p. 85.)),- having regard to its resolution of 15 June 1995 on the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services ((OJ C 166, 3.7.1995, p. 123.)),A. whereas the definition of the common social rules applicable in the case of posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services within the Community is an essential aspect of the Union's social policy which should accompany the single market,B. whereas it has become apparent in certain Member States and sectors that Community legislation is urgently required on the posting of workers,C. whereas the new proposal for an agreement put forward by the Italian Presidency, which has been welcomed by most Member States, could contribute to a solution in the forthcoming months, under the Italian or the Irish Presidency,1. Welcomes the proposal for an agreement put forward by the Italian Presidency, in particular the decision to apply the 'zero threshold' which will lead to the immediate application of the existing national legislation;2. Repeats its call to the Commission and Council to include in the agreement all areas of provision of services without exception, to prevent problems of social dumping;3. Calls on the Council to agree that the wages and leave entitlement of posted workers should be governed by the principle of lex locis;4. Recalls the need for a Union-level solution to the problem of the posting of workers, since national legislation can only provide insufficient guarantees as regards the Union-wide harmonization of workers' rights;5. Calls on the Commission to take a fresh look at the possibility of making occupational pensions transferable within the EU; recalls that the absence of legislation to cover cross-border transfers of occupational pensions is an obstacle to the free movement of workers within the EU;6. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and Council.
