WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1566/96 by Raymonde DURY to the Commission. Freedom of movement for underage children  


Official Journal C 365 , 04/12/1996 P. 0011 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1566/96 by Raymonde Dury (PSE) to the Commission (17 June 1996)Subject: Freedom of movement for underage childrenHas the Commission realized that free movement has increasingly been obstructed since the principle was laid down in the Single Act and endorsed in the Maastricht Treaty?Especially where underage children are concerned, freedom of movement has been made singularly more complicated by the fact that a child's father and mother are not named in the European passport. The effect of the passport, coupled with the 1990 Convention on the abduction of children, is to prohibit movement within the Union's frontiers unless documents apart from the European passport can be produced to prove the parent-child relationship or indeed that both parents have given permission for a child to leave or re-enter the territory.Will the Commission take steps to bring about freedom of movement for one or both parents accompanied by their underage children?Answer given by Ms Gradin on behalf of the Commission (13 September 1996)The conditions under which underage children can travel are as follows. If they are travelling alone, they can use one of two types of document: either their own passport, in the same way as adults, or an identity card accompanied by an authorization to leave national territory issued by the appropriate authorities in the Member States.Where underage children travel with one or both parents, they may use their own passport or have their names on the family passport.In any event, the proof of the parent-child relationship must be provided to the appropriate authorities in the Member States before travel documents are issued. A Member State which issues a travel document is assumed to have carried out the necessary checks, and the existence of such a document is regarded by the other Member States as the proof that such checks have been carried out.If the Honourable Member has concrete information on this matter, particularly details of specific cases in which accompanied underage children carrying their own passports or appearing on their parents' passports were refused entry, the Commission would certainly investigate the problem thoroughly.

Official Journal C 305 , 15/10/1996 P. 0107 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1545/96 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (17 June 1996)Subject: Siting of a power station on the border between Greece and BulgariaReports have appeared in the Greek press concerning a joint Greek-Bulgarian electricity generation project, intended on the one hand to improve the energy situation of Greece and, on the other hand, to make the Bulgarian economy progressively less dependent on Kozloduy.1. Can the Commission confirm this? What view does it take of such a project with a view to replacing Kozloduy?2. If an application were made, could European Union funding be provided for the project and from what sources?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (19 July 1996)The Commission supports the objectives of the 1993 Nuclear safety account agreement with Bulgaria, which aims progressively to replace power generation by Kozloduy nuclear power plant units 1 to 4 with alternative sources of power generation. A number of investment projects have been identified which will contribute to this goal. These involve refurbishment of existing power plants, rather than construction of new plants. An improvement in the efficiency of energy use in Bulgaria will also help to reduce dependence on Kozloduy nuclear power plant.Through the Phare cross-border cooperation programme for cooperation between Greece and Bulgaria, the Commission has allocated funds for a feasibility study on the joint operation and interconnection of the Greek and Bulgarian electricity networks. A tender has been launched, and the study is expected to start in the second half of this year. The Commission is not aware, however, of any concrete proposals for investment in a power station on the Greek-Bulgarian border.Community assistance for any such project would depend on the assessment of its economic viability, the relative priority it is given by governments concerned for national resources and external assistance, and, in most cases, whether capital assistance is available to undertake the project. Any application should accordingly be directed to the European investment bank, or another similar international financial institution, in addition to the governments and the Commission.

Official Journal C 322 , 28/10/1996 P. 0082 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1533/96 by Jessica Larive (ELDR) to the Commission (17 June 1996)Subject: Comparative survey of drug use and addiction in the UnionIn view of the differences in drugs policy between the Member States of the Union, is the Commission prepared1. To conduct an independent inquiry into drug use and drug addiction in the European Union?2. To carry out a comparative survey of implementation of international conventions on drugs policy?If so, does the Commission agree that such research can best be carried out by persons responsible for implementing drugs policy in that they are able to reach an objective decision that conventions concluded in the past can lead to differences in implementation in the present and may be out of date (shift from heroin to chemical drugs, for example)?Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (15 July 1996)1. The European monitoring centre for drugs and drug addiction is a decentralised Community agency, established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 302/93 ((OJ L 36, 12.2.1993. )), to provide the Community and its Member States with objective, reliable and comparable information at European level concerning drugs and drug addiction and their consequences. Its most visible output will take the form of a report, on a yearly basis, on the state of the drugs problem in Europe. The first edition is due to be published in September 1996 and is expected to provide a fair overview on the drugs situation in Europe.2. The main international conventions on drugs around which international efforts are concentrated were concluded under the aegis of the United Nations. Therefore, a comparative study on their implementation with a view to their possible review lies within the responsibility of the United Nations bodies.However, the Commission has organised jointly with the Italian Presidency of the Council and the Parliament a workshop on the comparison of national drugs legislation (Brussels, 25-26 March 1996) and its application in practice. In this context, the Commission shares the view of the Honourable Member that the way drugs policy is implemented in practice is very important. Moreover, the organisers of the workshop welcomed the participation of a great number of authorities in the Member States which are directly involved in the application of national legislation.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1517/96 by Mark Killilea (UPE) to the Commission (17 June 1996)Subject: Parking pass for disabled personsIn its design of a new parking pass for the disabled, the details of the card holder are to be listed on the reverse side of the card, i.e. surname, first name, date of birth, address and signature.While this new parking pass, which will be recognized in all the Member States, is a very welcome development, would not the Commission agree that the recording of personal details of the card holder in this manner could in itself pose a threat to that person, for instance in the event of damage to or theft of the vehicle, in which case full details of the owner would come into the possession of other persons? Would it not consider that some form of coding or reference number would be more appropriate in these circumstances? Would not the Commission agree that, as a rule, it would not be sensible to leave personal details of such a nature in an unattended vehicle?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (10 September 1996)The Commission's proposal has been the subject of debates within committees of the Parliament. The Commission has naturally taken careful note of the comments made, particularly concerning the security aspects of including personal details on a parking card.After the Parliament adopts its opinion, expected shortly, the Commission will examine it and, as appropriate, draw up an amended proposal.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1523/96 by Cristiana Muscardini (NI) to the Commission (17 June 1996)Subject: Interpretation of the directives on improving the safety and health of workers at workIn view of the Commission's answer to my Written Question E-0192/96 ((OJ C 122, 25.4.1996, p.33. )) and the fact that the purpose of Directive 89/391/EEC ((OJ L 183, 29.6.1989, p.1. )) is to protect the health of workers at work, how can the Commission link the concept of 'undertaking' to the principle of free competition, when the purpose of the directive in question is to safeguard the health of workers?How can the Commission say that the Member States may 'tailor certain measures imposed on employers to the nature and size of their undertakings' and that they 'are not required to impose on the liberal professions rigid protection and prevention structures' after having said earlier that 'the said Directives apply in full to natural persons engaged in liberal professions' of an intellectual nature and forgets that, if the directives in question apply to those engaged in such professions, they are 'applied in an appropriate manner' only if they are applied in a restrictive sense to those for whom the provisions are intended?Can the Commission also say whether the Member States and, if so which, have applied Directive 89/351 to natural persons engaged in professional occupations which are protected by inclusion in professional registers?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (17 July 1996)The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to her Written Question E-1394/96 ((OJ C 305, 15.10.1996, p.93. )).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1559/96 by José Barros Moura (PSE) to the Commission (17 June 1996)Subject: Freedom of movement for persons and workersFollowing the visit by Commissioner Van Den Broek to Switzerland for the purpose of bilateral and sectoral negotiations with that country, can the Commission say what results were achieved or what the prospects are as regards the free movement of persons and workers, particularly in view of the fact that large numbers of workers from certain Member States, such as Portugal, are resident in Switzerland on a permanent or seasonal basis?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (4 July 1996)The Commission is pursuing the negotiations with Switzerland in the area of the free movement of people on the basis of the negotiating directives of the General Affairs Council of 31 October 1994, which foresee the mutual application of the entire acquis communautaire in the area of free movement of people for the citizens of the Community and their family members in Switzerland and for the citizens of Switzerland and their family members in the Community. In the course of these negotiations Switzerland has recently offered to adapt its legislation to the acquis communautaire as far as Community citizens already resident in Switzerland are concerned, but to maintain the existing access quota for new arrivals of salaried employees and self-employed. The Commission deems this offer insufficient and insists on a binding obligation for the abolition of these quotas. Quantitative limitations are incompatible with the principle of free movement of people, which is now the standard in Western Europe. The Commission will pursue the negotiations in order to achieve the complete free movement of people with Switzerland.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1556/96 by Josu Imaz San Miguel (PPE) to the Commission (17 June 1996)Subject: Impact on agriculture of EU agreements with third countriesIn view of the direct influence which the signing of certain agreements with third countries has on the agricultural sector and the fact that there is widespread ignorance within that sector concerning the substance of those agreements, could the Commission say what the situation is regarding the negotiations/relations or, where appropriate, the most recent agreements concluded by the European Union with Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and other countries located to the south of the Union, as regards the agricultural sector?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (10 July 1996)The Community has concluded agreements recently with Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco and Israel.With Turkey the customs union entered into force on 1 January 1996. Negotiations for mutual concessions on agriculture are under way following the decision of the Association Council in March 1995.Euro-mediterranean agreements with Israel and Tunisia were signed in 1995 and with Morocco in 1996. These agreements contain a trade chapter with mutual concessions in the trade of agricultural goods. These agreements are currently undergoing ratification, and will in all likelihood enter into force at the beginning of 1997. However the agricultural package of the agreement with Israel entered into force on 1 January 1996 through an interim agreement containing only the trade chapter. Likewise some of the agricultural concessions granted to Morocco are operative since 1 December 1995.Concerning Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon, negotiations are under way for Euro-mediterranean agreements following the negotiating directives adopted by the Council. These negotiations have not yet been concluded.Concerning Algeria, negotiating directives for Euro-mediterranean agreements were adopted on 10 June 1996 by the Council, but the negotiations have not as yet commenced.Concerning South Africa, negotiating directives for a trade and cooperation agreement have been adopted by the Council and the negotiations on trade aspects commenced on 21 June 1996.
