WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3531/96 by Philippe DE COENE to the Commission. Romanian legislation on homosexuality  


Official Journal C 105 , 03/04/1997 P. 0085 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3531/96 by Philippe De Coene (PSE) to the Commission (12 December 1996)Subject: Romanian legislation on homosexualityRomania is a member of the Council of Europe and a prospective member of the European Union. The European Union has incorporated respect for the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) in Article F of its Treaty, and it might reasonably be assumed that prospective Member States would also respect the ECHR. The old Romanian legislation prohibiting all homosexual acts was suspended in 1994 by the Constitutional Court as part of the process of bringing legislation in line with the provisions of the ECHR. The Constitutional Court called for the law to be liberalized. In early September 1996 the Romanian parliament adopted a new law which makes all homosexual acts, including those in private, as well as membership of homosexual and lesbian movements criminal offences. The law has been made more stringent, rather than less so.If a country infringes the ECHR in this way, does it satisfy the conditions for membership of the European Union? Is the Commission prepared to ask the Romanian government to amend the law by bringing it in line with the international provisions of the ECHR?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (20 January 1997)Recent years have seen considerable improvements in Romania's human rights situation. The country's new president and the prime minister have unequivocally committed themselves to honouring their international obligations in the matter of human rights.The Commission is aware that the reform of the Penal Code, and more specifically of the provisions on homosexuality, has run into difficulties in the Chamber and the Senate.The Commission has welcomed the Romanian Government's statement of 18 September last year concerning Article 200 of the Penal Code, which makes plain its intent to bring the country's legislation into line with its human rights commitments under the Council of Europe.The Commission will be continuing discussions with the Romanian authorities on this subject.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3557/96 by Laura GONZÁLEZ ÁLVAREZ , María SORNOSA MARTÍNEZ , Abdelkader MOHAMED ALI to the Commission. Urban planning projects in the region of Doñana (Spain)  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0132 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3557/96 by Laura González Álvarez (GUE/NGL), María Sornosa Martínez (GUE/NGL) and Abdelkader Mohamed Ali (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (12 December 1996)Subject: Urban planning projects in the region of Doñana (Spain)There have been alarming reports in the Spanish media of urban planning projects in the region of the Doñana National Park.The Regional Executive of the Regional Government of Andalusia has approved the revision of the territorial coordination steering plan for the Doñana region (TCSP) so as to exclude the Cadiz municipalities of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and Trebujena. This revision spells the start of a process of declassifying the protected areas of Doñana and allowing urban planning projects in the region of the National Park.Given that the exclusion of the above-mentioned municipalities from the TCSP may lead to the loss of EU funds earmarked for investment and economic activities in the Doñana National Park region:Is the Commission aware that such projects may jeopardize the ecological balance of Europe's most important nature reserve?What is the Commission's assessment of the results of the investments made by the EU to date under the Sustainable Development Plan for the Doñana region?Can the Commission draw up a report on the projects which have benefited from these investments?With a view to ensuring that the projects can have no adverse effect on the Doñana National Park, what representations does the Commission intend to make to the Regional Government of Andalusia, pursuant to Community environmental legislation, to guarantee the conservation of this area of considerable environmental and ecological value?Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (15 January 1997)The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its findings as soon as possible.
