WRITTEN QUESTION No. 937/96 by Shaun SPIERS to the Commission. Financial provision for veterinary inspectors  


Official Journal C 345 , 15/11/1996 P. 0019 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0937/96 by Shaun Spiers (PSE) to the Commission (23 April 1996)Subject: Financial provision for veterinary inspectorsOn the occasion of the Council agreement on Directive 95/29/EC ((OJ L 148 of 30.6.1995, p. 52 )) on the transport of animals in June 1995, reference was made to the importance of extra veterinary inspectors to be taken on by the Commission for the purpose of monitoring the implementation and enforcement of this Directive.Would the Commission confirm that proper financial provision has been made in the budget for these additional inspectors and, if so, how many have alrady been appointed and how many will be employed in the near future?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (28 May 1996)The Commission has not decided, within the framework of the means foreseen in the 1996 budget, to increase the staff of the directorate general for agriculture including the veterinary units. The restrictions on recruitment of additional personnel faced by the Commission also make it difficult to get extra staff.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0913/96 by Marlies Mosiek-Urbahn (PPE) to the Commission (23 April 1996)Subject: Approval of EU aid for the firm of Burda (Darmstadt)Is it true that the Commission is using Community funds to support the transfer of the Darmstadt printing works of the firm of Burda, Burda-Kommunikation, from Germany to Vieux-Thann in France, although there is virtually no prospect of jobs being found in the Darmstadt area for the 600 people left unemployed as a result?Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (23 May 1996)From information sent in by the relevant national authorities, we can tell you that Burda has received none of the Objective 2 structural fund aid (1994-96) given to the employment catchment area housing the Vieux-Thann site and that no project is currently being appraised.

Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0135 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1092/96 by Hugh McMahon (PSE) to the Commission (23 April 1996)Subject: Illegal sacking of 88 foreign lecturers at Naples UniversityDoes the Commission not consider that the illegal sacking of 88 foreign lecturers by the authorities of Naples University merits an infringement procedure against the Italian state for its continual failure to implement European law in defiance of two judgments of the European Court of Justice and two resolutions of the European Parliament?What action will the Commission take to ensure that these 88 foreign lecturers are immediately reinstated without prejudice and without fear of repercussions?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (28 May 1996)The Commision is fully aware of the problems in Naples raised by the Honourable Member and a specific complaint concerning the Instituto Orientale Universitario has been made by the lecturers themselves. In addition, a report by an independent expert on the situation of language lecturers in Italian universities, carried out for the Commission, established that language lecturers in Naples have been offered only fixed-term contacts, in direct contradiction with Community law.The Commission has recently contacted the Italian authorities in the framework of the infringement proceedings started in 1992, in order to request clarifications on the present situation of foreign language lectureres in Italian univeristies, and to raise specifically the issue of the Instituto Orientale Universitario. It will keep this problem under close review and will decide on the most appropriate action to take in the light of the response from the Italian authorities.

Official Journal C 345 , 15/11/1996 P. 0015 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0917/96 by Josep Pons Grau (PSE) to the Commission (23 April 1996)Subject: Presidential elections in MauritaniaOn 11 October 1996, parliamentary elections are to be held in Mauritania.What action is the Commission intending to take in order to help ensure that the elections proceed smoothly?Answer given by Mr Pinheiro on behalf of the Commission (24 May 1996)The Commission has received a request for financial aid from the Mauritanian authorities for the organization of a general election in October 1996. Consultations are currently taking place between the Head of the Commission Delegation in Mauritania and the representatives of Member States with a residency in Nouakchott to see whether the various types of assistance requested from the Community and other potential donors could be made available jointly and in coordination.In the light of these consultations, the Commission will indicate the likelihood of an eventual favourable response. Having said that, because of the large number of applications for assistance, the Commission gives priority to elections, which mark a transition to democracy and the rule of law. The Commission made an important contribution to the 1992 elections in Mauritania on that basis and will look very carefully at ways of ensuring effective coordination with other potential donors before reaching a decision with regard to aid for the forthcoming poll.At all events, any new financial assistance must be reflected in procedural improvements which will help to ensure a significant qualitative improvement in the election process.

Official Journal C 280 , 25/09/1996 P. 0105 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0931/96 by Shaun Spiers (PSE) to the Commission (23 April 1996)Subject: Extradition procedures within the EUWhat plans does the Commission have to introduce proposals to harmonize extradition procedures between the Member States of the EU?Answer given by Mrs Gradin on behalf of the Commission (15 May 1996)Judicial cooperation in criminal matters is a matter of common interest under Article K.1(7) of Title VI of the Treaty on European Union. The Commission is fully associated with the work in this area in accordance with Article K.4 but it does not have a right of initiative in this area under Article K.3 and cannot, therefore, introduce proposals to harmonize extradition procedures.A Convention on simplified extradition procedures between the Member States was signed on 10 March 1995 ((OJ C 78, 30.3.1995. )) and work is in progress on drawing up a further, more comprehensive convention on the improvement of extradition between the Member States.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0906/96 by Pieter Dankert (PSE) and Carlos Pimenta (ELDR) to the Commission (23 April 1996)Subject: New Tagus bridge financed from the Cohesion FundIn relation to the new Tagus bridge, partly financed from the Cohesion Fund, the Commission has repeatedly been informed since 1994, of the breaches of directives 79/409/EEC ((OJ L 103, 25.4.1979, p.1. )) and 92/43/EEC ((OJ L 206, 22.7.1992, p.7. )) and he measures listed in the relevant environmental impact assessment and Annex I of the Commission decision on project 94/10/65/005. Despite discussions between the Commission and the Portuguese authorities measures which should have been taken at the beginning of operations have still not been taken in 1996 and the infringements are continuing.Does the Commission not consider that it should have undertaken an inquiry at an earlier stage, or should do so now, as referred to in Article 10 of its decision 94/10/65/005, under which the aid can be suspended, reduced or withdrawn?If the Commission does not share this view, can it indicate when it will have reached the limits of its tolerance, given that two children have already drowned because the protective fencing required under the environmental impact assessment has still not been erected and that, according to newspaper reports the Portuguese government has now finally recognized that there are contraventions of the rules and has imposed a fine on Lusoponte for illegal dredging activities and dumping?Joint answer to Written Questions E-0904/96, E-0905/96, E-0906/96, E-0907/96 and E-0908/96 given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (9 July 1996)The Commission is conducting a detailed investigation of the problem raised by the Honourable Members and will inform them of the outcome as soon as possible.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0923/96 by Wilmya Zimmermann (PSE) and Annemarie Kuhn (PSE) to the Commission (23 April 1996)Subject: Suggestions procedure at the CommissionIs the Commission aware that there are successful suggestions procedures in operation in many private companies, as well as in the administrations of most of the Member States? Is it aware that such procedures enable employees to make practical suggestions for improvements outside of the usual channels, via a committee set up by mutual agreement between staff representatives and management? Is it aware that employees and employers are represented in equal numbers on such committees, that they have decision-making powers, and that the suggestions they adopt lead to considerable savings and greater efficiency?Is the Commission aware that a suggestions procedure can increase employees' motivation as well as helping to realize their creative potential? If so, why has the Commission not already introduced such a procedure in its own administration?Does the Commission take the view that, particularly in this time of financial shortages, a suggestions procedure could lead to more efficient use of resources, thus reducing the percentage of the budget spent on administration?Is the Commission prepared to move forward with the introduction of a suggestions procedure in consultation with staff representatives, with a view to making its administration more efficient, accessible, environmentally friendly and energy-conscious? If so, will it abide by the principles of unprejudiced, appropriate, rapid assessment of suggestions for improvements in its negotiations with staff representatives? Will it ensure that successful suggestions leading to economies and greater efficiency are suitably rewarded?Can the Commission name a time at which it could begin negotiations with staff representatives with a view to introducing such a procedure (possibly on an experimental basis)?Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission (29 May 1996)The suggestions procedure is not new; it is well established in both private firms and public organizations. Its success varies with the organization and the way in which it is set up.The staff representatives have already approached the Commission regarding a suggestions procedure. At the request of the Member responsible for Personnel and Administration and Budgets, the questions of feasibility and implementation procedures are currently being examined.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0907/96 by Pieter Dankert (PSE) and Carlos Pimenta (ELDR) to the Commission (23 April 1996)Subject: New Tagus bridge financed from the Cohesion FundAccording to reports in the European Voice (7-13 March 1996) the Commission has written to the Portuguese authorities threatening to halt the Cohesion Fund financing for the new Tagus bridge. The letter apparently contains no deadline by which the Portuguese authorities must reply.Is it to be understood that this letter should not be considered an inquiry, as referred to in Article 10 and the provisions of annex VI of the Commission decision on project 94/10/65/005 and also not as an examination as referred to in Article H of the implementing provisions of Council Regulation 1164/94 ((OJ L 130, 25.5.1994, p.1. )) of 16 May 1994 setting up the Cohesion Fund?Joint answer to Written Questions E-0904/96, E-0905/96, E-0906/96, E-0907/96 and E-0908/96 given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (9 July 1996)The Commission is conducting a detailed investigation of the problem raised by the Honourable Members and will inform them of the outcome as soon as possible.
