WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3225/96 by Joan COLOM I NAVAL to the Commission. Cost of sending a poster  


Official Journal C 105 , 03/04/1997 P. 0064 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3225/96 by Joan Colom i Naval (PSE) to the Commission (28 November 1996)Subject: Cost of sending a posterIn early October 1996 all the Members of the European Parliament received a poster (size DIN A3) announcing the 'European Year of Health and Safety in the Workplace'.This poster was sent inside a cardboard tube (10 cm in diameter and 30 cm long, sealed with plastic), of the type used for the transportation of plans, drawings and other objects which need to be preserved against wrinkles or folds.Since this poster was sent purely for purposes of information, and could therefore have been sent in an ordinary envelope, thus saving on transport space, can the Commission:1. inform the Members and other recipients of the cost of sending the posters (price of the tubes plus transport);2. state whether it intends to use this method again in the future?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (21 January 1997)'European Week' and suchlike campaigns are intended not just to provide information but, especially, to promote a theme. The A3 format of the accompanying posters makes it easier for them to be displayed on a stand. Many people complain when they receive posters which have been creased or otherwise damaged in transit. In the face of such complaints, the Commission chooses the most suitable means of distribution to the principal information outlets, including parcels, pallets and tubes.The Commission thus ensures that the consignments are dispatched in the most efficient and economical manner, having regard both to its own constraints and technical facilities, and to the way in which the documents are to be used. In the case in question, the posters were sent to the Members of Parliament by means of the internal courier service, thereby saving on transport costs.In general, posters for information campaigns are dispatched in bulk, packed on pallets. When specific requests are made directly to the Commission, the most appropriate methods of dispatch are used, including, if necessary, rolled-up posters.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3238/96 by José García-Margallo y Marfil (PPE) to the Commission (28 November 1996)Subject: The Commission's tax programmeThe Commission's work programme for 1997 (COM(96)0507) states: 'In 1996 the Commission ... launched an in-depth examination of tax policies in Europe. Practical conclusions will be forthcoming in 1997. The Commission will speed up the drafting of guidelines for closer coordination of tax policy in Europe. One of the main aims will be to reverse the current trend towards imposing compulsory charges and levies on employment.'However, the list of proposed actions refers, as far as taxation is concerned, only to vehicle tax (34).Is there a proposal to permit compensation for loss not only of subsequent but also of previous profits?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (10 January 1997)The Commission's work programme for 1997 contains initiatives that the Commission is planning to take in the course of the year.In 1984 the Commission had proposed a Directive on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to tax arrangements for the carry-over of losses of undertakings ((OJ C 253, 2.9.1984. )), which was amended in 1985 ((OJ C 170, 9.7.1985. )).The proposal, which was not taken up by the Council, was withdrawn in 1996 since, as a measure designed to harmonize the tax base, it had implications only for the Member States' domestic tax systems.
