WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3024/96 by Luciano VECCHI to the Commission. Involvement of NGOs in the MEDA programme  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0110 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3024/96 by Luciano Vecchi (PSE) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Involvement of NGOs in the MEDA programmeThe adoption in July 1996 of the MEDA programme signalled the start of the first stage in the implementation of cooperation projects.Could the Commission say whether or not it will be possible for non-governmental organizations, associations and non-profit-making enterprises to be involved in such projects on an equal footing with other interested parties?Could the Commission also say whether or not appropriate instruments and areas of the cooperation programme will be specifically reserved for such bodies?Answer given by Mr Marin on behalf of the Commission (9 December 1996)Article 1 paragraph 2 of the Regulation (EC) no 1488/96 on financial and technical measures to accompany the reform of economic and social structures in the framework of the Euro Mediterranean partnership ((OJ L 189, 30.7.1996. )) (Meda) includes non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the list of the beneficiaries of support measures undertaken in the framework of the Regulation.There are no specific instruments reserved for the promotion of NGOs in the Mediterranean partner countries and territories or to support initiatives from European NGOs in favour of the Mediterranean partners. However, NGOs may, in particular, participate in regional activities together with other interested parties in the Med Media and Med Campus programmes of decentralized cooperation, the Meda democracy programme and in the micro-actions facility. Furthermore, and more importantly, since the approval of the new Meda Regulation, NGOs may also participate in bilateral cooperation in the framework of indicative programmes agreed with the Mediterranean partners.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3029/96 by Arthur Newens (PSE) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Labelling of food productsCould the Commission indicate which meat products for human consumption include horsemeat as an ingredient, with product and brand names, and which labelling requirements apply in the EU?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (27 November 1996)The Commission has no particulars of products intended for human consumption which have horsemeat as an ingredient or of their brand names.These products are subject to Directive 79/112/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer. ((OJ L 33, 8.2.1979. )) Pursuant to the Directive the labelling of foodstuffs must include a list of ingredients to inform the consumer of the composition of what has been purchased and, in this case, whether it contains horsemeat.

Official Journal C 105 , 03/04/1997 P. 0044 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3034/96 by Gerardo Fernández-Albor (PPE) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Alarm in the Union's fisheries insurance sectorIn 1995, the insurers of Spanish fishing vessels suffered significant losses as a result of the high number of incidents involving Spanish vessels.The insurance sector paid out nine thousand million pesetas in indemnity payments to the ship-owners, whilst the fisheries sector paid eight thousand five hundred million in premiums. This represents a continuation of the trend observed over the last ten years in which the accident rate in the fisheries sector has led to losses in the corresponding insurance sector.Given that the situation is increasingly serious, with a worrying medium term outlook, since this negative trend will not be borne by the insurance sector indefinitely, does the Commission consider that joint consideration should be given to the matter in an effort to provide solutions to a situation which may at any time become explosive?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (9 January 1997)Declining fish stocks have caused fishing enterprises to intensify operations in difficult conditions.The Spanish fishing fleet, like the Community fishing fleet, is undergoing large-scale restructuring aimed at cutting capacity so as to adapt to available and accessible resources. This restructuring, which qualifies for Community aid, is intended to enable the Community fishing fleet to become profitable again.The Commission's view is that the European insurance industry is capable by itself of resolving any problems which may arise in connection with insurance for Spanish fishing boats. It does not consider it necessary to intervene in national insurance markets and initiate discussions with a view to adopting guidelines on insurance for the Spanish fishing fleet.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3013/96 by Joan Vallvé (ELDR) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Reform of the OCM in olive oilOlive growing is particularly important in certain areas of Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the Region of Valencia. Olive oil is gaining in appreciation as a basic component of the Mediterranean diet. In view of the fact that the proposal for the modification of the OCM in olive oil provides for the elimination of the intervention price and of aid to production and consumption, is the Commission aware that this will act as a disincentive to production, hinder improvements in the quality of the product and fail to guarantee a suitable income for olive growers?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (29 November 1996)The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its joint answer to Written Questions E-2946/96 by Mr Papayannakis and E-2684/96 and E-2685/96 by Mr Valverde Lopez ((See page 22. )).

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3010/96 by Carlos ROBLES PIQUER to the Commission. Scientific cooperation with Taiwan  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0108 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3010/96 by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Scientific cooperation with TaiwanAll evidence seems to indicate that Taiwan is not only one of the most prosperous countries in the world but that its prosperity is based more on the use of its talents and work ethic than on its scarce natural resources.At present, the Taiwanese policy is to develop as much as possible its scientific and technological capacity, placing particular emphasis on high technology. Unlike Europe, Taiwan has managed to integrate innovation and research, be it their own or aquired, in industry and the marketplace.Can the Commission provide information on the state of relations between the EU and Taiwan in the scientific and technological fields and say what it can do to ensure that Taiwan's desire to be active in the international arena is harnessed to offer European researchers useful opportunities for cooperation and to boost European efforts to modernize industry?Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (12 December 1996)The majority of Community research and development (R& D) programmes are already open to researchers and engineers from Taiwan, just as they are to R& D teams from other third countries, in accordance with provisions incorporated in these programmes when they were adopted by the Council.Thus it is that a research team from Taiwan is working in collaboration with a European consortium on a research project in the field of information technology.In addition, an exploratory mission to Taiwan took place at the end of October 1996 so that the scope for scientific and technical cooperation with this country could be evaluated in more detail. The mission's conclusions are currently being analysed; this will allow guidelines for future scientific and technical relations to be clarified.
