WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2462/96 by Caroline JACKSON to the Commission. Free circulation of chocolate products  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0017 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2462/96 by Caroline Jackson (PPE) to the Commission (23 September 1996)Subject: Free circulation of chocolate productsIn correspondence with Germany in 1989 and Spain in 1990 the Commission specifically confirmed that chocolate products containing vegetable fat other than cocoa butter, manufactured and marketed in a Member State permitting its use, must be marketable in the entire Community under their original name, so long as the consumer is informed about the presence of these fats. This principle has been confirmed by the Commission in its proposal to amend Directive 73/241 (COM(95)722 ((OJ C 231, 9.8.1996, p. 1. )).In contravention of this principle, Italy has however recently prohibited the import of chocolate products containing vegetable fat originating in countries permitting its use, unless the products are sold under the name 'surrogate chocolate'.1. Can the Commission confirm that chocolate products containing vegetable fat other than cocoa butter lawfully manufactured in a Member State are permitted to circulate freely within the EU under their original sales name, provided the products are labelled as containing vegetable fat?2. What steps have been undertaken by the Commission to ensure that Italy respects the principles of the free movement of goods and does not erect barriers to trade within the single market?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (21 November 1996)The Commission is currently carrying out a comprehensive investigation of this matter in all Member States. It will inform the Honourable Member of the outcome as soon as possible.

Official Journal C 060 , 26/02/1997 P. 0148 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2473/96 by Susan Waddington (PSE) to the Commission (23 September 1996)Subject: Contravention of WTO rules by IndonesiaIt is public knowledge that the financing and production conditions relating to the 'Timor' motorcar, which is manufactured in South Korea for the Indonesian market, contravene the World Trade Organization's rules and seriously affect the conditions under which European companies are required to compete in this sector of the Asian market. In view of these facts, what representations has the Commission made (or is it intending to make) to the WTO with a view to having an inquiry carried out?Answer given by Sir Leon Brittan on behalf of the Commission (21 October 1996)The Commission takes the view that the incentives provided by Indonesia to certain domestic companies under their national car programme are in contradiction with a number of World trade organization (WTO) provisions and are detrimental to the Community interests.The Commission has raised the issue with the Indonesian authorities on several occasions, and notably at the highest political level during the meeting between the Vice-President of the Commission in charge of the trade policy and President Soeharto on 23 April 1996. Following these interventions, the Commission held informal consultations with Indonesia in July. These talks ended without agreement, and on 3 October 1996, immediately after the customs clearance of the first commercial batch of vehicles from Korea to be imported under discriminatory preferential conditions, the Community proceeded to request the opening of formal WTO consultations.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2505/96 by Robert EVANS to the Commission. Commission reports on school provision for gypsy and traveller children and for children of occupational travellers  


Official Journal C 365 , 04/12/1996 P. 0118 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-2505/96 by Robert Evans (PSE) to the Commission (23 September 1996)Subject: Commission reports on school provision for gypsy and traveller children and for children of occupational travellersWhat is the state of progress of two important Commission reports, mention in the Council resolutions of 22 May 1989, on school provision for gypsy and traveller children ((OJ C 153, 21.6.1989, p. 3. )) and for children of occupational travellers ((OJ C 153, 21.6.1989, p. 1. ))?In the answer to my previous question (P-0090/96 ((OJ C 161, 5.6.1996, p. 39. )) on this subject the Commission accepted there had been a delay, but that translation would be complete in February of this year and publication would then follow Commission approval. I understand that translation was in fact only recently completed, and thus the process has once again been delayed from the initial deadline of the end of 1993.Joint answer to Written Questions P-2505/96 and P-2507/96 given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (8 October 1996)In its answer to the written question P-90/96, the Commission informed the Honourable Member of the schedule for finalising the translations and the procedures for adopting and publishing the two reports, dealing respectively with school provision for gypsy and traveller children and school provision for children of occupational travellers. These reports, covering four years of intense work in this field (1991-94), analyse and evaluate the policies conducted by the Member States and the Commission, and contain proposals for developing Europe-wide cooperation in this connection.The translations are now ready and the two reports should be adopted shortly by the Commission. They will thus be presented to Parliament and the Council in the next few weeks.
