WRITTEN QUESTION No. 335/96 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Council. Private security firms  


Official Journal C 305 , 15/10/1996 P. 0007 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0335/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Council (26 February 1996)Subject: Private security firmsA great many statistics show that organized crime is spreading throughout Europe and the traditional forces of law and order have insufficient manpower to tackle the problem. This has led to the emergence of numerous private security firms in Europe and has, on the one hand, exposed loopholes in the laws regulating them and, on the other hand, revealed some of these firms to be unreliable, which has simply exacerbated the problem of crime.Does the Council not consider it advisable to issue a directive laying down common rules and standards for all the Member States in order to bring about an improvement in the quality of service and the guarantees offered by operators in this sector?Reply (7 August 1996)The Council has not yet considered whether it is advisable to establish specific instruments for the aforementioned firms. Such work could be contemplated in the context of the more general questions of preventing crime.

Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0026 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0349/96 by Luis Campoy Zueco (PPE) to the Council (26 February 1996)Subject: Enlargement of the EU and adverse impact on the agricultural sectorWhat steps are to be taken to correct the serious imbalances in the agricultural sector which the planned accession to the EU of the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) will produce in some parts of the existing Member States?Reply (3 June 1996)Formal contacts within the framework of the structured dialogue between the Council (Agriculture) and the Ministers for Agriculture from the Central and Eastern European countries have recently been established. A first meeting was held in September 1995 while a second meeting is scheduled to be held in May 1996.Given that the negotiations as such with a view to possible accession of the CEEC have not yet been started - the Commission is still examining the applications for accession with a view to delivering its opinion as provided for under the Treaty - it is not yet possible to foresee at this juncture what problems will have to be faced at the time of a future enlargement, taking account in particular of the dynamic development of the agricultural sector both in the Community and in the countries applying for membership.In any case and on a general level, the Commission has already started discussions on these problems by submitting a series of reports on future enlargement of the European Union to the European Council in Madrid in December 1995.On that occasion, the European Union called upon the Commission to take its evaluation of the effects of enlargement on Community policies further, particularly with regard to agricultural and structural policies. The European Union will continue its review at its next meetings on the basis of reports from the Commission.
