WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2323/96 by Carlo RIPA DI MEANA to the Commission. Multi-fund operational programmes in Sardinia  


Official Journal C 072 , 07/03/1997 P. 0030 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2323/96 by Carlo Ripa di Meana (V) to the Commission (27 August 1996)Subject: Multi-fund operational programmes in SardiniaThe Region of Sardinia is apparently using 60 billion from the European Union's multi-fund operational programmes (MOPs) to carry out public works and building projects in protected areas of the island, although 7 years have passed since the adoption of Regional Framework Law No 31/1989 and the regional Council has not yet set up any nature reserves.Does the Commission not consider that it should make the allocation of funding dependent on the prior establishment of the nature reserves in Sardinia and that it is inappropriate that Community funding officially earmarked for nature reserves, which do not in fact yet exist, is being used to carry out public works and construction work, in particular in the areas of Sinis-Montiferru, Monte Arci and Giara in the province of Oristano?Answer given by Ms Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (17 October 1996)The multi-fund operational programme for the Region of Sardinia, approved by the Commission on 25 November 1994, includes measures in respect of the 'nature reserve system' to the tune of ECU 73 million, including ECU 44 million from the European Regional Development Fund.These measures are to be carried out within the region, in particular in 81 communes situated in the areas designated as nature reserves. They are not, therefore, directly linked to the creation of these reserves. The programme emphasizes environmental protection and small-scale infrastructure work e.g. renovation of buildings of artistic and cultural interest, work on disused mines and improvements to the water supply system.The Commission will ensure that all action co-financed by the structural funds in the regional parks of Sardinia is carried out in accordance with Community environmental legislation.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2260/96 by Yiannis ROUBATIS to the Council. The problem of illegal immigrants  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0002 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2260/96 by Yiannis Roubatis (PSE) to the Council (27 August 1996)Subject: The problem of illegal immigrantsOver the last five months the number of illegal immigrants coming from Asian countries via Turkey who have been arrested on their arrival in Greece or afterwards, has been five times higher than during the corresponding period in 1995. Although this is a serious problem which is a matter of concern in all European countries, Turkey has rejected the repeated requests by the Greek authorities for cooperation in oppressing it.Will the Council say:1. Does it intend to provide Greece with financial assistance so that controls can be stepped up on its eastern borders which, being maritime borders, are difficult to control?2. Given that the majority of illegal immigrants enter Greece from Turkey and are smuggled in by Turks under inhuman conditions, does it intend to exert pressure on the Turkish authorities to clamp down on illegal immigration and the trade in human beings in cooperation with the relevant Greek authorities?Answer (16 May 1997)Rules governing the crossing of external borders are regarded as a matter of common interest under article K.1 of the TEU. Common rules for the controls of external borders are set out in the draft convention of the Crossing of External Borders which has not yet been signed. Immigration controls are a matter under national competence. The Council has, however, adopted a number of measures to strengthen cooperation under Title VI of the TEU with regard to combating all forms of illegal immigration into the European Union.Thus on 30 November 1994 the Council approved a recommendation ((OJ C 274, 19.9.1996, p. 20. )) concerning a specimen bilateral readmission agreement between a Member State and a third country and, on 24 July 1995, a recommendation ((OJ C 272, 19.9.1996, p. 25. )) on the guiding principles to be followed in drawing up protocols on the implementation of readmission agreements.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2262/96 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission (27 August 1996)Subject: Effect of Directive 91/439/EEC on LGV/PCV driversCan the Commission provide details of whether information on how Directive 91/439/EEC ((OJ L 237, 24.8.1991, p. 1. )) affects LGV/PCV drivers has been collated on an EU-wide basis?If not, has the Commission any intention to do so?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (20 September 1996)Council Directive 91/439/EEC ((OJ L 237, 24.8.1991. )) on driving licences provides that Member States shall adopt laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with the directive as of 1 July 1996.In the framework of the normal procedure, the Commission is collating information and verifying the implementation.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2327/96 by Gianni Tamino (V) to the Commission (27 August 1996)Subject: The system of compensation for beef and vealIn its circular No 18 of 16 July 1996 AIMA (Italian authority for agricultural market intervention) laid down the rules for implementing the system of compensation which amounts to Lit 125 billion, combining Community and national funding, allocated to beef and veal producers for animals slaughtered between 1 May 1996 and 15 August 1996.Does the Commission consider the terms of this circular to be compatible with European guidelines?In particular, does the Commission consider the Italian decision to distribute additional compensation for animals weighing more than 470 kg, i.e. more than the 400-410 kg envisaged by the Union, to be legitimate?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (26 September 1996)The Commission is conducting a detailed investigation of the problem raised by the Honourable Member and will inform him of the outcome as soon as possible.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2288/96 by Gianfranco Dell'Alba (ARE) to the Commission (27 August 1996)Subject: The Mont Blanc motorway and respect for legislation concerning environmental impact assessmentThe company 'Autostrade del Monte Bianco' is about to start work on building the Morgex-Courmayeur section of the motorway without any environmental impact assessment having been carried out in accordance with Directive 85/337/EEC ((OJ L 175, 5.7.1985, p.40. )).An appeal was lodged with the Commission by the consumer organization CODACONS, which asked the Commission to bring proceedings against Italy for infringement of Article 177 of the Treaty, since it did not apply Directive 85/337/EEC for the Sarre-Morgex section either.On the other side of the border there is not the same determination to favour road transport to the detriment of other modes of transport which are more environmentally acceptable.Does the Commission intend to bring proceedings against the Italian State for infringement of Article 177 of the Treaty in connection with the Mont Blanc motorway?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (1 October 1996)The Commission has no knowledge of the facts referred to by the Honourable Member. It has asked the Member State concerned for information and will inform the Honourable Member of its findings.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2339/96 by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Council (27 August 1996)Subject: BSE and gelatine production in the EU1. Are there EU standards for gelatine production and tallow extraction and processing?2. What are the production conditions in the individual Member States?Joint answer to Written Questions E-2337/96 and E-2339/96 (20 May 1997)1. The Council has been informed, as has the European Parliament ((PE 218.976. )), that the United Kingdom banned the use of animal meal for the feeding of ruminants within its own territory on 18 July 1988 and the use of specified bovine offals (SBOs) in the animal meat industry there on 25 September 1990, measures subsequently tightened up on 2 November 1994.2. Commission Decision 96/362/EC of 11 June 1996 amended Decision 96/239/EC on emergency measures to protect against bovine spongiform encephalopathy ((OJ L 139, 12.6.1996, p. 17 and 18. )). Accordingly, this Decision now specifies the method of production for gelatine and tallow, liable to enter the food/animal feed chains or destined for use in cosmetic, medical or pharmaceutical products, obtained from bovine animals slaughtered in the United Kingdom, which must be followed to enable such products to be exported from the United Kingdom.3. It is for the Commission to ensure that Community rules are applied and enforced by the national authorities.The Commission would therefore be better placed to explain the steps taken by the United Kingdom to ensure that the inspection measures introduced by the United Kingdom are in fact enforced.The Commission could also provide the Honourable Member with technical data on beef and sheepmeat production in the United Kingdom, on trade flows from or to the United Kingdom and on the disposal of animals infected with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2368/96 by Wolfgang Kreissl-Dörfler (V) to the Commission (27 August 1996)Subject: Calves1. Can the Commission state how many calves have been imported annually into the European Union from Romania since 1990:(a) for fattening,(b) for consumption,(c) in transit to third countries?2. Can the Commission state how many calves have been imported annually into the European Union from the Czech Republic since 1990:(a) for fattening,(b) for consumption,(c) in transit to third countries?3. Can the Commission state how many calves have been imported annually into the European Union from Hungary since 1990:(a) for fattening,(b) for consumption,(c) in transit to third countries?4. Can the Commission state how many calves have been imported annually into the European Union from Poland since 1990:(a) for fattening,(b) for consumption,(c) in transit to third countries?Joint answer to Written Questions E-2367/96 and E-2368/96 given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (24 September 1996)As regards points (a) and (b), Community statistics do not distinguish between calves imported for fattening and those imported for consumption. In the Commission's view, where calves originating from the countries in question are concerned, there is not in general any demand on the market for immediate consumption. The calves are mainly destined for fattening. The relevant figures broken down by country of origin and year have been sent to the Honourable Member and to Parliament's Secretariat.As regards (c), the pertinent figures are not available to the Commission.
