WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2041/96 by Freddy BLAK to the Commission. European works councils  


Official Journal C 365 , 04/12/1996 P. 0071 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2041/96 by Freddy Blak (PSE) to the Commission (19 July 1996)Subject: European works councilsA large number of voluntary agreements have been reached to pre-empt the directive on European works councils before it enters into force on 22 September 1996.Does the Commission know how many voluntary agreements have been concluded? Are there any plans for compiling a central data base of voluntary agreements?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (2 October 1996)The Commission understands from unofficial sources that more than 200 agreements were concluded in multinational companies in anticipation of the transposition into national legislation of Directive 94/45/EC on the establishment of a European Works Council or a procedure in Community-scale undertakings and Community-scale groups of undertakings for the purposes of informing and consulting employees by 22 September 1996, the final date for this kind of agreement to enter into force.The Commission has been working in close cooperation with the European foundation for the improvement of living and working conditions (Dublin) in order to compile and publish all the existing agreements. As a result of this cooperation, two editions of the collection of agreements have already been published, the last covering the first 51 agreements concluded in multinational companies ((OJ L 254 of 30.9.1994. )).By the end of 1996 the Commission intends to publish, jointly with the Dublin Foundation, a final collection of all the agreements concluded under Article 13 of Directive 94/45/EC.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2040/96 by Kirsten JENSEN to the Commission. Information on homosexuals in the Commission  


Official Journal C 385 , 19/12/1996 P. 0086 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2040/96 by Kirsten Jensen (PSE) to the Commission (19 July 1996)Subject: Information on homosexuals in the CommissionEGALITE, an organization fighting for the rights of homosexual EU staff, has received a number of inquiries from individuals and organizations seeking information on the Commission's policy towards homosexuals.The inquiries are from people who first approached the Commission but received no satisfaction. Surely the public are not expected to obtain information about official Commission policy from an organization outside the Commission?EGALITE has even received an inquiry from a person in DG X who had tried in vain to obtain information on the Commission's policy from DG V and DG DG IX.Which DG deals with official Commission policy towards homosexuals?Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission (23 September 1996)The Commission would inform the Honourable Member that, at Community level, there is no policy on homosexuals.As part of its powers under the various Community policies, the Commission implements measures to eliminate all discrimination between individuals on grounds of race, belief, sex or sexual orientation.DG IX is the Directorate-General responsible for Commission staff matters. On 9 July 1996, as part of staff policy, the Commission adopted new measures for officials and other servants as regards cohabitation.Under these new measures, which are applicable to heterosexual and homosexual cohabitation alike, partners of officials or other servants can enjoy certain administrative facilities on an equal footing with spouses, wherever the Staff Regulations do not require to be amended.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2053/96 by Jesús CABEZÓN ALONSO to the Commission. Employment and the Florence European Council  


Official Journal C 011 , 13/01/1997 P. 0039 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2053/96 by Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) to the Commission (19 July 1996)Subject: Employment and the Florence European CouncilThe Florence European Council did not make any progress as regards a common employment policy. Since employment is the stated priority of the Member States' governments, the EU institutions and the social partners,how does the Commission account for the fact that its proposals on the subject were rejected? What is the future of the Madrid and Essen Summit proposals concerning the inclusion of a chapter on employment in the revised Treaty on European Union to be produced by the 1996 IGC?Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (21 October 1996)In Florence, the European Council agreed on strategic guidelines on employment, growth and competitiveness reflecting the general integrated approach as well as several of the specific proposals put forward by the Commission in its communication of 5 June 1996 on a confidence pact ((CSE(96) 1 final. )).The Dublin European Council of December 1996 will provide an opportunity to review progress achieved on the implementation of the European employment strategy at all levels, and to make recommendations for further steps, on the basis of a joint report from the Council and the Commission.Many participants in the Intergovernmental conference, including the Commission, have proposed that there be included in the Treaty specific provisions in favour of a common strategy for employment. This proposal is being studied in the conference.
