Official Journal C 347 , 18/11/1996 P. 0465 





B4-1180, 1204, 1205, 1208, 1210 and 1212/96Resolution on the reform of the common organization of the market in olive oilThe European Parliament,A. whereas the Commission intends to submit shortly a proposal for a Regulation on the reform of the common organization of the market in olive oil, even though there has as yet been no prior discussion paper, such as was deemed to be necessary for the reform of other sectors,B. whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provided that the Commission should submit, before 1 January 1995, a report on the working of the system of aids to olive oil production, and whereas Parliament has not yet received this document,C. whereas the Commission is examining the reform of the olive oil sector; whereas, according to unofficial documents, this reform will set up a system granting a subsidy for each tree and will entail the abolition of measures such as the intervention price and production aid; whereas these changes have provoked an unfavourable reaction in the trade within the producer countries,D. having regard to the new GATT commitments with regard to trade with third countries and the preferential agreements with other oil-producing third countries,The European Parliament,1. Urges the Commission to comply with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 and to submit a report to the Council on the working of the aid system, as it was required to do by January 1995, so that an assessment can be made before reform is undertaken;2. Calls on the Commission, before submitting a proposal for a Regulation to reform the COM in olive oil, to draw up a discussion paper analysing thoroughly the current working of the COM in olive oil and proposing solutions to any problems it identifies;3. Calls in this connection for the proposals to seek to guarantee farmers' incomes, preserve olive growing as an essential feature of the countryside and of the conservation of the Mediterranean environment, promote the whole production chain in the context of local and/or regional rural and employment strategies and be based on a policy of achieving quality;4. Calls on the Commission, in connection with the EU's preferential oil imports from other Mediterranean countries, to prevent social and environmental dumping practices from allowing the entry into the Union of quantities of oil which would disrupt the market, causing serious harm to EU olive growers, who are already faced with grave difficulties;5. Calls on the Commission to forward to it the above discussion paper, so that it can draw up its own conclusions, and to initiate a debate with other relevant institutions and members of the trade;6. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the governments of the Member States.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2799/96 by Sebastiano MUSUMECI to the Commission. Fraud against the European Union in Sicily  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0070 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2799/96 by Sebastiano Musumeci (NI) to the Commission (25 October 1996)Subject: Fraud against the European Union in SicilyIn view of the fact that the Italian authorities (the Bolzano Anti-Fraud Service of the Customs Department) have recently uncovered yet another fraud at the expense of the European Union, committed between October and December 1995, which involved a huge amount of sugar destined for Malta and unloaded in Sicily to be used to adulerate wine; and in view of the fact that those responsible for this fraud against the customs authorities were able to take advantage of over half a billion lire in Community funds, would the Commission announce what practical measures it intends to take to combat fraud to prevent further serious incidents of this kind, which are used to finance illegal activities and large-scale underworld organizations?Answer given by Mrs Gradin on behalf of the Commission (12 December 1996)It is the Commission itself which initiated research into this matter when it became aware in May 1995 of a possible fraud involving sugar exports to Malta. The Commission delegation in Malta confirmed discrepancies between exports from Italy and imports in Malta. Contacts with the Italian authorities revealed that two Italian companies simulated sugar export operations to Malta in 1995. Up to now, the investigations have revealed that over 480 tonnes of sugar claimed for export were irregularly introduced on the Sicilian market. A German company was also indicated as having received export refunds in relation to these false exports of sugar. The use of this sugar to adulterate wine has not been established. Inquiries are continuing with the active support of the Commission.The Commission will carefully examine the results of these inquiries to see what further action is appropriate.The Commission's strategy in the fight against fraud and its priority actions are set out in its 1996 anti-fraud annual work programme ((COM(96) 17 final. )).

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2843/96 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Commission. Gas supplies  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0080 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2843/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (25 October 1996)Subject: Gas suppliesWith reference to gas supplies in the EEC and prospects in this sector, the total demand for natural gas in the EU, which amounted to 254 million toe in 1994 should reach the figure of 411 million toe in 2010. The share of natural gas in the EU's overall energy demand will thus increase from around 19% in 1994 to 26% in 2010.Given that internal production was no more than 157 to in 1994, the EU's dependence rate in natural gas supplies is currently 40%. Imports mainly come from three countries: Russia, which accounts for more than half, and Algeria and Norway,each providing slightly less than a quarter.These statistics, though not complete, nevertheless clearly show a steady increase in gas demand, which is confirmed by EUROGAS estimates.The lack of interest shown in developing LNG plants, which are the only alternative to importing gas via pipelines, is regrettable. Is the Commission therefore prepared to give closer consideration to the opportunities afforded by LNG plants with a view to introducing greater flexibility in Union supplies and improving security of supply for southern countries?Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission (28 November 1996)The Commission would like to recall that in its communication on Community gas supply and prospects ((Doc. COM(95) 478 final. )), potential sources of liquified natural gas (LNG) to Europe coming from the Middle East and Central and Latin America, in addition to the present sources from North Africa, Abu Dhabi and Australia are considered a way of diversification and therefore a contribution to security of gas supply for the Community.The realisation of these projects, both in the supplying third countries and the corresponding LNG receiving terminals in the Community is, however, the responsibility of the gas industry and therefore has to be justified by market developments.The Commission in the framework of its competences supports the realisation of LNG projects. The Commission proposal for an updated list of trans European networks projects of common interest in the energy field includes LNG terminals (new plants and the modernisation of existing ones) in Greece, Portugal, Spain, France and Italy. In addition, the Commission and the Gulf co-operation council are jointly sponsoring a gas conference in Qatar in November 1996 to explore among other things the potential of LNG export from the Gulf region to the Community gas market.
