WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2014/96 by Carlos ROBLES PIQUER to the Commission. Peer-review system and the Internet  


Official Journal C 365 , 04/12/1996 P. 0066 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2014/96 by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Commission (17 July 1996)Subject: Peer-review system and the InternetA recent conference held by the OECD in Denmark under the heading 'The Global Research Village' has raised a number of questions about the future of the peer-review system as a means of selection for publication in leading scientific journals.The growing expansion of the Internet has the potential to counter the slowness of the conventional process and open up alternative channels such as open peer commentary.Are there any European projects similar to the Los Alamos Physics Information Service (which, according to The Economist of 22 June 1996, puts into the archive 70 preprints a day and is 'visited' by over 40 000 physicists a day)? What, in the Commission's view, is the best way of ensuring quality in the publication of scientific research?Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (13 September 1996)As far as the Commission knows no database exists in Europe that ressembles that of Los Alamos referred to by the Honourable Member. Within the United States itself this project is now in the form of an isolated experiment on which the views are far from unanimous.Despite these constraints and restrictions the 'peer-review' system currently applying to scientific publications is indeed the best guarantee of quality. In order to reconcile these advantages with those offered by electronic publication in terms of, in particular, cost and speed, several research workers have suggested that, rather than leaving articles to be assessed by means of 'free comment' by research workers, a peer-review system should be set up for electronic publications.The Commission is confident that the scientific community will develop a system enabling quality and efficiency requirements to be met in scientific publishing. It is closely following the developments taking place in this area and is prepared to associate itself with any thoughts devoted to these matters at national and international level. Commission representatives also attended the conference mentioned by the Honourable Member.

Amended proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION ŒO 

amending Regulation (EEC) 1107/70  of the Council on the granting 
of aid for transport  by rail, road and inland waterway 

(presented by the Commission pursuant to Article  189 a (2) 
of the EC-Treaty) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

At  its  plenary  session  of  29  February  1996,  the  European  Parliament  has given  its 
opinion  on the  proposal1 for  a Council  Regulation  (EC)  amending  Regulation  (EEC) 
1107/70  of  the  Council  on the  granting  of  aid for  transport  by  rail,  road  and  inland 
waterway,  providing  for  a number  of  amendments. 

The  Commission  has  accepted  amendments  1  and  2  concerning  a new  recital  1, 
as they  correspond  to  the  intermodal  policy  of  the  Community.  This  policy  aims  at 
creating the conditions for sustainable mobility through the imputation  of the  actual 
costs  caused  by  each  mode  of  transport.  As  long  as  road  modes  do  not  fully  pay 
for  the  social and environmental  costs  caused  by them,  aid to  combined  transport, 
railways  and  waterways  to  bridge  the  competitive  gap  is justified. 

The  Commission  therefore  amends  its  proposal  as  follows: 

Original  proposal

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1957/96 by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Council (17 July 1996)Subject: Plutonium smuggling1. Can the Council clarify a dispute in the case of plutonium smuggled to Munich in 1994?2. Euratom claims to have been informed by the German Government on 10 August 1994. But the German Government claims already to have notified Euratom on 27 July 1994. Who was lying? The German Government or Euratom?3. How does the Council account for the fact that plutonium smuggling has occurred in only 12 Member States, and most flagrantly in Germany?4. Can the Council rule out the possibility that in Germany plutonium smuggling has deliberately been staged by the Federal Intelligence Agency?Reply (7 November 1996)The Council would draw the Honourable Member's attention to the reply given to Written Question No E-3082/95 on the seizure of plutonium at Munich airport (OJ C, 17.4.1996, p.21).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2016/96 by Concepció Ferrer (PPE) to the Commission (17 July 1996)Subject: Transfer of small and medium-sized enterprisesThe answer given by the Commission to Question E-235/96 ((OJ C 137, 8.5.1996, p. 50. )) on the rules applicable to the transfer of small and medium-sized enterprises states that the Commission has been able to observe that several Member States have already adopted a certain number of measures. However, no details of these measures are given.Can the Commission explain clearly and in detail what measures have been adopted by the Member States in connection with the transfer of small and medium-sized enterprises and which Member States have adopted such measures?Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission (10 October 1996)The information which the Commission currently holds on national measures taken regarding the transfer of enterprises is either too specific or incomplete for a cohesive report to be published. Much of this information also emanates from informal sources and is still awaiting formal confirmation by all the Member States.At this point in time, the Commission is, therefore, reluctant to anticipate the official report expected from the Member States. The 31st of December 1996 is in fact the deadline accorded to the Member States for communicating to the Commission the text of the main provisions adopted to implement the Commission recommendation of 7 December 1994 on the transfer of small and medium-sized enterprises ((OJ L 385, 31 December 1994. )).After this deadline, the Commission will draw up a summary report of all the legislative and administrative measures taken by the Member States for this purpose. This report will then be discussed with all the parties concerned at a conference to be organised at the beginning of 1997. The aim of this conference will be to evaluate the progress made by the Member States and to determine best practices in this field.
