WRITTEN QUESTION No. 284/96 by Pierre BERNARD-REYMOND to the Commission. Situation of the OECD countries with regard to the Maastricht criteria for introducing a single currency  


Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0016 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0284/96 by Pierre Bernard-Reymond (PPE) to the Commission (15 February 1996)Subject: Situation of the OECD countries with regard to the Maastricht criteria for introducing a single currencyWhere did each of the OECD member countries stand on 31 December 1995 with regard to the five criteria set by the European Union in the Maastricht Treaty for the creation of a single currency?Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission (29 March 1996)In November 1995 the Commission drew up a report on convergence within the Community. Table 1 provides, as far as possible, an update of the situation in the Member States regarding the five convergence criteria. As indicated below the table, the reference values for the criteria do not apply in a mechanical fashion but are evaluated. What is more, the EC Treaty stipulates that the convergence analysis must take account of a number of additional indicators such as the ecu market, market integration, the balance of payments on the current account and other price indices (Article 109j(1)).Table 1: Member States' performances in relation to convergence criteria>TABLE>Source: Commission.For reference purposes, the same variables are included in Table 2 for the other OECD members. Comparisons are difficult because the definitions of the statistical series used differ, as does the degree of updating. This is particularly so with the public finance series. Lastly, the exchange-rate criterion is not mentioned because the OECD countries that are not members of the Community are not linked by any exchange-rate regime.Table 2: Performances of the other OECD countries in relation to the convergence criteria>TABLE>Sources: IMF (International financial statistics) and OECD (Main economic indicators). (*) Public deficit of central government. (**) Debt of central government.

Is gravely concerned by the dangerous violation by Turkey of sovereign rights of Greece, a Member State of the European Union, and by the build-up of military tension in the Aegean;2. Deplores the fact that Greece and Turkey found themselves on the brink of hostilities and calls for an immediate stop to all actions which endanger peace and stability in this area;3. Stresses that Greece's borders are also part of the external borders of the European Union;4. Calls for compliance by Turkey with international treaties, and in particular the OSCE, which insists that all disputes be settled by peaceful means in accordance with international law;5. Deplores the failure of the European Union and its Member States in this crisis to take effective action within the framework of the common foreign and security policy;6. Calls on the Council to take appropriate initiatives to improve relations between Greece and Turkey;7. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Government of Turkey, the Parliament of Greece and the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.

B4-0152, 0159, 0210 and 0228/96Resolution on the violation of the constitutional rights of the indigenous peoples of BrazilThe European Parliament,- having regard to its earlier resolutions on the need to protect the rights of the indigenous peoples of Brazil, in particular its resolution of 12 October 1995 ((OJ C 287, 30.10.1995, p. 202.)),A. whereas indigenous peoples' 'native' right to their land is enshrined in the Brazilian Constitution,B. recalling that the history of the struggle of the indigenous peoples to achieve institutional recognition of their rights has been a long and tragic one, punctuated by massacres and murders, and the demarcation of territory has been constantly accompanied by pressure being brought to bear on the authorities and by intimidation, illegal occupation, violence and murder,C. noting that Decree 1775 establishes the right of any 'interested party' to challenge Indian possession of land reserved for them by Decree 22/91, but whose demarcation has not yet been fully completed in the Serviço do Património da União (land register), following pressure from powerful landowners, gold prospectors and mining and forestry companies, and whereas only half the land reserved for the indigenous peoples had been demarcated by 1995 and the demarcation process has been frozen,1. Strongly condemns this decision, taken despite the clear requests of the European Parliament and the clearly stated opposition of the Brazilian public, many international organizations and the indigenous peoples' defence groups; supports all current initiatives calling for the revision of the federal decree and the anxieties expressed by the chairman of the Human Rights Committee of the Brazilian Congress and by other Brazilian groups providing assistance to indigenous peoples;2. Calls on the Council and the Commission to make the Brazilian authorities aware of their disapproval, to demand guarantees concerning funding for the reserved areas in the context of the pilot programmes, and to make consideration of the position of the indigenous peoples an obligatory part of their political, economic and trade relations with Brazil;3. Instructs its Delegation for relations with South America to raise this matter with its Brazilian colleagues at the earliest opportunity;4. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the President and the Government of Brazil, the Chairman of the Human Rights Committee of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Council of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil and the National Forum for the Defence of Indigenous Rights.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0273/96 by Peter Crampton (PSE) to the Commission (15 February 1996)Subject: Marriages of convenienceWhat action is the Commission taking against the UK Government regarding its application of a condition not permitted under Community law, that is to say an assessment under national law of whether a marriage is one of 'convenience', to applications for residence permits by non-EU-national spouses of EU nationals exercising treaty free movement rights in the UK?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (9 April 1996)The Commission is aware of the problems caused by British legislation on marriages of convenience. It has received numerous complaints from Community nationals and their non-Community spouses who have had difficulty in obtaining a residence permit in the United Kingdom.The Commission sent a letter of formal notice to the United Kingdom concerning several aspects of this legislation. It is currently examining the United Kingdom's reply in order to ascertain whether there are still problems regarding the consistency of British legislation with Community law.
