WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1332/96 by Cristiana MUSCARDINI to the Commission. Discriminatory selection criteria in recruitment competitions for the JRC Ispra establishment  


Official Journal C 345 , 15/11/1996 P. 0057 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1332/96 by Cristiana Muscardini (NI) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: Discriminatory selection criteria in recruitment competitions for the JRC Ispra establishmentIn competition COM/R/A 114, the Italian woman who came closest to satisfying the requisite conditions was classed as one of only two candidates deemed to be suitably qualified but later rejected. No proper explanation was given, making it impossible to dispel suspicions that she suffered discrimination on account of her sex and, moreover, her Italian nationality.Does not the Commission believe that the criteria observed by the Selection Board are in need of impartial review, since they seem in the case in question to be contrary to the much-vaunted commitment to equal opportunities?Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (11 July 1996)In accordance with Commission rules, officials and temporary staff are recruited through general competitions or through selection of temporary 'research' staff, both of which procedures result in recruitment reserve lists.In accordance with the statutory rules, such lists must, where possible, include at least twice as many successful candidates as there are posts to be filled. Thus no-one who has passed a competition is automatically guaranteed a job with the Commission; inclusion on a reserve list merely signifies eligibility for recruitment.The Commission may, while the reserve list is still valid, offer a contract of service to anyone whose name appears on the list provided that person has the requisite training and experience for the job. Each time a post falls vacant a comparative examination is made of the files of all the candidates who have got through selection or passed a competition and whose professional profiles match the requirements of the post most closely.With regard to procedure COM/R/A/114 for the selection of scientific staff specializing in operational radiation protection, there were six successful candidates on the reserve list, two of them women. With a view to filling a vacant post in the Joint Research Centre's Ispra establishment, all six files were examined, in the light of the specific requirements of the service, and the candidates with the most suitable profiles were invited for interview to determine which of them would be recruited.

Official Journal C 322 , 28/10/1996 P. 0056 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1320/96 by Felipe Camisón Asensio (PPE) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: GDP per capita patterns in ExtremaduraRecent reports indicate that seven European regions have a per capita GDP one and a half times the European Union average, while in six regions, per capita GDP is less that half the average.What is the per capita GDP of the Spanish region of Extremadura, and how has its relative position in the league table changed over the last ten years?Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission (1 July 1996)In 1993, the last year for which data are available, the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Extremadura, measured in purchasing power standards (PPS) and expressed as a percentage of the Community average (EUR15) was 55. This region was therefore not one of those whose per capita GDP was less than half the Community average (Açores, Alentejo, Madeira and Centro in Portugal; Ipeiros and Voreio Aigaio in Greece).Since 1983, the per capita GDP in Extremadura has developed as follows:>TABLE>The Commission would like to point out, however, that the development over time of the ranking of European regions according to this indicator is not exhaustive for two main reasons. Firstly, information relating to the four French overseas departments, where the per capita GDP in PPS is similar to that of Extremadura, is not available every year. Secondly, since 1991, the data have taken into account the new German Länder which, up until that point, had all had a per capita GDP in PPS lower than that of Extremadura.

Such aid goes directly to the victims, on an impartial basis and irrespective of ethnic origin and religious or political beliefs, and is generally channelled through the Commission's 'traditional' partner organizations.Some 170 international and non-governmental organizations, including a number of United Nations institutions and Red Cross, are working with the Commission under the framework partnership contract which provides them with an appropriate framework to carry out humanitarian operations.A table of appropriations allocated under budget headings B7-210, B7-211 and B7-217 to NGOs, international organizations and other partners that have carried out operations financed by the Commission, together with a full list of the humanitarian organizations that have signed the framework partnership contract with the Community will be sent directly to the Honourable Member and to Parliament's Secretariat.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1371/96 by Ilona Graenitz (PSE) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: Restriction of services provided in dental outpatient departmentsIn Austria dentists employed in outpatient departments are forbidden by law to fit patients with fixed dentures. They are permitted to perform other services, such as orthodontic treatment.Does such a prohibition comply with the freedom to pursue an occupation and free competition within an occupation group?Do similar restrictions exist in other Member States in the sphere of dentistry?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (31 July 1996)Prohibiting dentists employed in outpatient departments from fitting patients with fixed dentures would not appear to be contrary to Community law. The Commission is not aware of similar restrictions in other Member States, but it is prepared to investigate the matter if the Honourable Member is able to supply further information.

Since 1994 commitments for the following rehabilitation projects in Northern Iraq have been made on this budget facility:>TABLE>>TABLE>In the 1996 budget, budget line B-7-406 was included in another chapter and renamed B7-6007. It was again allocated 3 MECU. The selection procedure for 1996 commitments is currently being finalised.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1324/96 by Encarnación Redondo Jiménez (PPE) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: European Union imports of wine from third countriesIs the Commission aware of the sheer scale of wine imports from third countries into the European Union? What measures should be taken to control this situation and guarantee Community preference rights?Joint answer to Written Questions E-1280/96, E-1324/96 and E-1328/96 given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (18 June 1996)The Commission has also noted that imports of wine from non-Community countries, and especially from Argentina to Spain, have increased considerably in the last year.The Commission learnt from the press of rumours according to which certain irregularities had been committed in this respect. It would point out that Member States are responsible for import checks and that it has reminded them on a number of occasions of the need for national supervisory bodies to monitor imports closely.Although to date the Commission has not received any official complaint concerning fraudulent imports, it has contacted the national supervisory bodies to draw their attention to these imports in particular and the subsequent use of the wine in the trade chain. The supervisory bodies have also been instructed to conduct a survey of these imports, the results of which are still pending.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1351/96 by Jean-Yves Le Gallou (NI) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: Community subsidies to associations, NGOs and various bodiesCan the Commission provide a full list of associations, NGOs and bodies receiving Community subsidies under budget heading B7-420 (Community operations connected with the Israel/PLO peace agreement)? Can it state the exact total of these subsidies at the close of the last financial year?Answer given by Mr Marin on behalf of the Commission (11 July 1996)The Commission is forwarding direct to the Honourable Member and to the General Secretariat of the Parliament a table detailing commitments made on budget Article B7-420 since the inception of that budget line in 1987 up to the end of 1995. It includes all projects with any non-governmental organization (NGO) or other organization other than the Palestinian Authority (PA). The list is broken down sector by sector for ease of reference.Various organizations on the list (the Palestinian Housing Council (PHC), the Palestinian Energy Centre (PEC), and the Council for Higher Education (CHE)), were in existence before the establishment of the PA, even if lately they have been operating under the ultimate authority of the PA. Projects with these organizations have been included for the sake of completeness.Finally, it should be noted that the operation for the preparation of Palestinian elections drew also from budget Article B7-702. The Parliament should therefore be aware that those projects regarding elections detailed in this list (mostly undertaken with the Palestinian Commission for Local Government and Elections) give only an incomplete picture of the whole election operation. Complete information on the technical preparation of Palestinian elections is naturally available from the Commission.
