WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2578/96 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Commission. Public health  


Official Journal C 011 , 13/01/1997 P. 0105 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2578/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (11 October 1996)Subject: Public healthThe Community action programme on health monitoring provides for the establishment of a network for the collection and dissemination of health data and indicators making use, inter alia, of the new opportunities provided by telematics and new tools for the analysis of health data and the drawing up of reports, studies and other documents on the subject. The new system will be based on criteria such as speed of access to European health data and indicators, such as those in the possession of Member States and international organizations, and the greatest possible degree of flexibility in order to enable appropriate adjustments to be made to the system and to ensure that data are comparable and may be progressively harmonized.With a view to the above, would the Commission not agree that it is extremely important for know-how available in the Member States and the Community committees which deal with health and safety statistics to be put to good use during the selection of 'domains' and 'sections' for the indicators, and for the Consultative Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health at Work to be asked for its opinion?Furthermore, part A of the annex should be included in the proposal, so as to ensure that it contains details of the domains within which the various indicators fall.Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (6 November 1996)The Commission considers it important to use expertise available in the Member States and in Community bodies concerned with health and safety. A recital to that effect has been included in the preamble of the amended proposal for a decision on a health monitoring programme ((COM(96) 222 final. )). In addition, as indicated in paragraph 94 of the communication concerning a Community action programme on health monitoring in the context of the framework for action in the field of public health ((COM(95) 449 final. )), the Commission intends to have recourse, where appropriate, to the advice of relevant committees, including the advisory committee on safety, hygiene and health protection at work.Annex A of the communication has been included as Annex II in the amended proposal, as the Honourable Member suggests.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2570/96 by Antonio TAJANI , Riccardo GAROSCI to the Commission. Reducing IRI's debt  


Official Journal C 072 , 07/03/1997 P. 0057 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2570/96 by Antonio Tajani (UPE) and Riccardo Garosci (UPE) to the Commission (11 October 1996)Subject: Reducing IRI's debtGiven the Italian Government's failure to set up a regulatory body for the telecommunications sector, it is currently impossible to implement the 'Andreatta-Van Miert' agreement on reducing IRI's debt, which was concluded in 1993.The only way of reducing that debt is to privatize STET, the Società Autostrade and SEAT. However, were such privatizations to be delayed and were the 'Andreatta-Van Miert' agreement to fall, all the state aids provided together with the interest thereon would have to be recalculated, which would cause serious problems for the Italian Government.Furthermore, in its haste to privatize, the Italian Government may be tempted to sell at a loss.Given the above, would the Commission not agree that it should:1. ask the Italian Government to speed up adoption of the measures required to comply with the 'Andreatta-Van Miert' agreement;2. ensure that respect is shown for basic principles such as that of transparency during the privatization process; and3. ensure that jobs in the companies to be privatized are safeguarded?Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (13 November 1996)The meeting held in Rome on 10 September 1996 between the Member of the Commission with special responsibility for competition policy and the Italian authorities resulted in the latter giving very solid undertakings on the IRI case.If the Italian Government were to present a formal request, the Commission would therefore be prepared, taking account of market conditions, to consider extending until after 1996 the period fixed in the agreement between the Italian Government and the Commission, as the agreement in principle empowers it to do.If that extension is to be granted, it will be a condition that it should be short and backed up by specific and realistic undertakings, particularly regarding STET and Autostrade.The Commission has also indicated that it will monitor the procedures for the privatization of IRI's subsidiaries, which must comply with the requirements of non-discrimination and transparency.The Italian authorities have undertaken to inform the Commission rapidly as to their privatization plans.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2576/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (11 October 1996)Subject: Public healthWould the Commission agree that, in the proposal for a European Parliament and Council decision adopting a programme of Community action on health monitoring in the context of the framework for action in the field of public health (COM(95)0449) ((OJ C 338, 16.12.1995, p. 4. )), inadequate financial provision is made for the collection and dissemination of data, given the importance of such activities for health policy at national and EU levels? In view of the fundamental importance of this programme, might the appropriations not be increased?Answer given by M. Flynn on behalf of the Commission (5 November 1996)The Commission shares the views of the Honourable Member concerning the importance of the proposed programme on health monitoring. In its proposals on the overall envelope of future appropriations in respect of this programme, the Commission had to strike the right balance between current margins and short and medium-term perspectives with regard to rubric 3 expenditure and the minimum requirements for the development of a health monitoring system in the Community. Accordingly, the actions proposed under the programme are designed to allow intensification of relevant activities should future developments permit an increase in the allocation of funds in the course of the annual budgetary procedure.

Official Journal C 011 , 13/01/1997 P. 0106 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2597/96 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission (11 October 1996)Subject: Health and safety and the working time directiveIs the Commission aware that trans-national oil companies operating in Europe are apparently unable to establish a representative body concerning the working time directive?Does the Commission agree that such apparent inability should not be sufficient reason to avoid full involvement of workers' representatives in agreeing arrangements to control and limit working time in the interests of health and safety?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (24 October 1996)The Commission is aware that organisations of companies in the off-shore sector state that they are not mandated to take part in social dialogue at European level. It will therefore be difficult for agreements to be reached in this sector at European level on arrangements to control and limit working time in the interests of health and safety. The Commission hopes, however, that employers' and workers' representatives in the Member States will be able to agree such arrangements, at the appropriate collective level, where they have not already done so.The Commission is currently preparing a white paper on the sectors and activities excluded from the working time Directive 93/104/EC of 23 November 1993 ((OJ L 307, 13.12.1993. )), including 'other work at sea'. This will set out the Commission's views on the way forward on this matter. Trade union organisations at European level, as well as the organisations representing the oil companies, will be invited to give their views on the course of action proposed.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2609/96 by Noël Mamère (V) to the Commission (11 October 1996)Subject: Incorporation of the first Council Directive relating to trade marks into the national law of the 15 Member StatesHave the 15 Member States all incorporated into their national law the first Council Directive (89/104/EEC) of 21 December 1988 relating to trade marks ((OJ L 40, 11.2.1989, p. 1. ))?What is the situation with regard to Austria, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden in particular?What steps does the Commission intend to take to remedy any distortions of competition within the single market resulting from possible failure to transpose the Directive?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (19 November 1996)All Member States incorporated into their national law Council Directive (EC) No 89/104.Austria, Finland and Sweden have implemented the Directive into their trade mark laws within the time frame of the establishment of the European economic area (Austria effective from 1 January 1993 and Finland effective from 1 February 1993). The Benelux Member States transposed their trade mark laws through the uniform Benelux trade marks act of 19 March 1962, which entered into force on 1 January 1971. The Directive has been transposed into the uniform Benelux trade marks act effective from 1 January 1996. Ireland has adopted the measures relating to the Directive by way of the Trade marks act, 1996, which came into effect on 4 July 1996.The EC Treaty gives the Commission the task of ensuring that the legislation made thereunder is properly applied. In light of this, the Commission is currently examining the laws of the Member States on trade marks to identify whether the Directive has been correctly transposed into their legislation. Where a Member State has not complied with its obligations under the Directive, the Commission will, within the framework of Article 169 of the EC Treaty, take the appropriate initiatives to bring that Member State's law into conformity with the Directive.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2585/96 by Francesco BALDARELLI to the Commission. Funding for European young farmers' organizations  


Official Journal C 091 , 20/03/1997 P. 0016 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2585/96 by Francesco Baldarelli (PSE) to the Commission (11 October 1996)Subject: Funding for European young farmers' organizationsPublic information about the activities of the European Union is central to the process of building the common European home, especially where certain traditional economic sectors such as agriculture are concerned. Youth organizations have a vital role to play in this connection, since it is essential that the young generations should be firmly and solidly committed to Europe.The EU currently provides approximately ECU 1 m under Article B2-514 of the budget to finance the work of the CEJA - European Council of Young Farmers - and the PEJA.The Commission, however, has proposed to do away with funding under Article B2-514 in the 1997 budget. Instead, two new headings have been created, namely Items B2-5121 ('Surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings'), the appropriation for which is ECU 7.5 m, and B2-5121 ('Enhancing public awareness of the common agricultural policy'), the appropriation for which is ECU 2 m.Given that the activities of the CEJA/PEJA and other organizations scarcely fit in with Item B2-5121 ('Surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings'), it is obvious that funding for these organizations will be substantially and drastically cut, with the result that many of the ventures undertaken to date will have to be abandoned.How will the Commission provide effective safeguards to preserve the laudable work of the European young farmers' organizations that receive European funding and focus their efforts on information and public events involving thousands of young farmers from the EU countries?Even allowing for the need for economy, does the Commission not consider that the funds earmarked for these organizations amount to very modest sums which, moreover, without wasting resources, are used for activities in the public interest designed to further aims that can be endorsed unreservedly?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (13 November 1996)Each year the Commission uses money from budget heading B2-514 to fund the activities of the European Council of Young Farmers (CEJA). CEJA has been regularly informed of any potential risks to the scale and timing of its activities. On occasions in the past its grant has had to be appreciably reduced because of a lack of resources, and CEJA has accordingly had to reduce or postpone its meetings.As regards 1997, general budget discipline explains the level at which heading B2-5122 has been set in the preliminary draft budget.
