WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3062/96 by Ingo FRIEDRICH to the Commission. Time-scales for the payment of regional assistance to INA- Verbund in Gunzenhausen  


Official Journal C 096 , 24/03/1997 P. 0056 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-3062/96 by Ingo Friedrich (PPE) to the Commission (6 November 1996)Subject: Time-scales for the payment of regional assistance to INA-Verbund in GunzenhausenThe Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs has authorized the payment of regional assistance amounting to DM 1 million to INA-Verbund in Gunzenhausen (Middle Franconia). This sum is supposed to be disbursed by the European Commission. INA-Verbund has now been awaiting payment for 1¾ years. The funds are needed to save 312 jobs.Does the Commission share my view that such a time-scale is unacceptable?Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (10 December 1996)The project to which the Honourable Member refers is not scheduled to receive Community part-financing under Objective 5(b) in Bavaria. The Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs notified the Commission of the regional assistance in question individually as a national aid, as required under Article 93(3) of the EC Treaty. The Commission gave its consent and the subsidy has recently been paid by Bavaria.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3051/96 by David BOWE to the Commission. Use of sewage sludge for agricultural or other land applications  


Official Journal C 096 , 24/03/1997 P. 0055 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-3051/96 by David Bowe (PSE) to the Commission (6 November 1996)Subject: Use of sewage sludge for agricultural or other land applicationsWhat measures is the Commission proposing to take to monitor and regulate the level of Cryptosporidium oöcysts and Giardia cysts in sewage sludge sent for agricultural or other land application purposes?Answer give by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (18 December 1996)Directive 86/278/EEC on the protection of the environment and in particular soil when sewage sludge is used in agriculture ((OJ L 181, 4.7.1986. )) only applies when sewage sludge is used in agriculture. It therefore does not cover other uses such as spreading in forestry or landscape renovation. This Directive only allows the agricultural use of sludge that has been pretreated and stabilized, generally using heat. In general, Cryptosporidium oöcysts and Giardia cysts, parasites of the intestine, do not withstand such treatment.As, in addition, Cryptosporidium oöcysts are widely distributed in the environment, particularly as a result of dispersion by young animals, and the role of spread sewage in epidemiology is far from proven, the Commission considers that at present it is inappropriate to provide for specific measures for sludge monitoring, especially as the known detection techniques are not very reliable.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3052/96 by Pierre MOSCOVICI to the Commission. Directive 79/409/EEC and proliferation of cormorants of the types phalacrocorax carbo sinensis and phalacrocorax carbo carbo  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0113 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-3052/96 by Pierre Moscovici (PSE) to the Commission (6 November 1996)Subject: Directive 79/409/EEC and proliferation of cormorants of the types phalacrocorax carbo sinensis and phalacrocorax carbo carboThe amended Directive of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds has amply fulfilled its purpose. Some undesirable effects can now be seen, associated with the proliferation of certain birds which lack predators. The cormorant population of Western Europe, for instance, has risen from 50 000 to 650 000, resulting in increasing damage to fish and to coastal and inland waters.Does the Commission have any plans, while respecting the principles underlying Directive 79/409/EEC ((OJ L 103, 25.4.1979, p. 1. )), to propose amendments to the Directive with the aim of controlling the population of cormorants of the types phalacrocorax carbo sinensis and phalacrocorax carbo carbo? If so, what kind of management of these two sub-species does it envisage introducing?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (19 November 1996)The Commission is aware of the favourable conservation status of the species phalacrocorax carbo. It is also conscious that the local impact on fish and aquaculture can be significant. At the present time it is therefore studying whether it is necessary and appropriate to propose amendments to Directive 79/409/EEC on the conservation of wild birds ((OJ L 103, 25.4.1979, as several times amended, most recently by Directive 94/24/EC of 8 June 1994, OJ L 166, 30.6.1994. )).While reminding Member States of the possibility of invoking Article 9 of the Directive if they consider that immediate measures are necessary, the Commission intends to encourage cooperation and solidarity between Member States. In particular it will monitor the work initiated by Denmark and the Netherlands under the Convention on Migratory Species (Bern Convention) on drawing up a proposal for an international management plan for this species.

Official Journal C 096 , 24/03/1997 P. 0058 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-3075/96 by Arlindo Cunha (PPE) to the Commission (6 November 1996)Subject: Size of, and monitoring arrangements for, the future duty-free tomato concentrate quota granted to TurkeyTurkey is currently entitled to a 16 500-tonne quota for the duty-free export of tomato concentrate to the EU.According to information received, Turkey has already granted licences this year for up to 29 000 tonnes, which in itself constitutes an infringement of the established rules.Furthermore, the EU association agreement with Turkey provides for the negotiation of a further duty-free quota, the size of which has not yet been determined.In view of the above, could the Commission provide information concerning:1. The size of the new quota referred to above and the criteria used to determine it?2. The rules which the Commission intends to implement in order to manage and supervise the quota?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (22 November 1996)1. The Commission is presently negotiating with Turkey a shift from the current self-limitation system to a tariff quota for preferential imports of tomato concentrate. No agreement has yet been reached. During the negotiations, the Commission has been in permanent contact with the Member States.2. The Commission will propose that the agreed tariff quota should be administered by means of a 'first come first served' system.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3093/96 by Honório Novo (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (6 November 1996)Subject: Future of jobs in the textile and clothing industryIn the last few days, the Portuguese media have referred to the possible existence of a confidential Commission document which forecasts the loss of almost two million jobs in various sectors, including no fewer than 600 000 in the European textile and clothing industry.This information has been disseminated on the basis of a public statement by a former Portuguese foreign minister.Can the Commission tell me whether such a document or study on the future of jobs in various sectors, particularly textiles, exists or not?If so, is it prepared to forward it to me immediately?Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (10 December 1996)1. In October 1995 the Commission presented a communication on the impact of international developments in the textile and clothing sectors in the Community. The communication included estimates regarding the future of jobs in this sector. The document was sent to Parliament on 16 October 1995. ((Doc. COM(95) 447 final. ))2.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3092/96 by Joaquim MIRANDA to the Commission. Support for crop growers  


Official Journal C 091 , 20/03/1997 P. 0067 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-3092/96 by Joaquim Miranda (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (6 November 1996)Subject: Support for crop growersThe Portuguese Government has submitted a plan to regionalize subsidies for crops as part of the reform of the CAP.The Commission has not approved the plan. Can it give me details of its reasons for not doing so, and of the requirements to be met in terms of Community guidelines before the plan can be approved?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (28 November 1996)The drawing up of plans for the regionalization of compensatory payments for arable crops is a matter for the Member States. The Commission does not have to give formal approval to the plans but has to ensure that they are drawn up on the basis of objective criteria which are appropriate for the Member State concerned and that, on the basis of the information available, they respect the historic average yield.In May 1996 Portugal presented a new regionalization plan which did not permit the Commission to verify compliance with the historic average yield. At the Commission's request, in September 1996 Portugal submitted a new regionalization plan and information on the basis of which the Commission raised no objections to application of the plan to the 1997 harvest. The Commission informed Portugal accordingly by letter dated 31 October 1996.
