WRITTEN QUESTION No. 478/97 by Giuseppe RAUTI to the Commission. Raising of vessels from the Bourbon fleet sunk in Naples harbour  


Official Journal C 367 , 04/12/1997 P. 0023 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0478/97 by Giuseppe Rauti (NI) to the Commission (19 February 1997)Subject: Raising of vessels from the Bourbon fleet sunk in Naples harbourIs the Commission aware that there is again talk of raising a large number of vessels from the Bourbon fleet which are lying on the seabed in Naples harbour (the exact point at which each lies has long been known)?The raising of these vessels - particularly the battleship 'S. Giacchino', the frigate 'Pallade' and the corvette 'Flora', which, between them, had 128 guns - would be an event of exceptional historical and cultural interest around the world and would boost both business and tourism in Naples.Would the Commission not agree that, as an exceptional measure, it should finance either outright or in part an operation of such vital importance to a city which is burdened by extremely severe social and employment problems and whose inhabitants would see such a gesture as an important mark of European solidarity?Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (14 April 1997)The Commission is not aware of discussions about raising the vessels from the Bourbon fleet sunk in Naples harbour. Nevertheless, the Commission fully shares the Honourable Member's opinion that such an undertaking would be an event of exceptional historical and cultural interest.Structural fund programmes in favour of Naples, and the Campania region in general, do not at present cover financial support for the project mentioned by the Honourable Member. Should the Italian authorities request such support, the Commission would be willing to examine the request in the context of the structural fund regulations and, in particular, of the project's potential contribution to the development of the region.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 476/97 by Carlos ROBLES PIQUER to the Council. China and Hong Kong  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0086 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0476/97 by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Council (19 February 1997)Subject: China and Hong KongThe Dublin European Council expressed its support for the 'representative democratic institutions as already established' in Hong Kong.The Chinese Government has recently announced that it does not intend to respect these institutions. This has been confirmed by the new political leader chosen in Beijing to govern the so-called 'Special Administrative Region' (SAR). Mr Tung Chee-Hwa views individual rights as being in opposition to the common interest, as interpreted by the future executive authority.Does the Council intend to respond to this announcement by China of its intention to violate the rights of the people of Hong Kong, given that the US Administration and the British Government did so immediately?Answer (16 May 1997)The President of the Council reiterated the position of the EU on the transition of Hong Kong and Macao as outlined in the conclusions of the Dublin European Council during a meeting of the EU Ministerial Troïka with the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Qian Qichen in Singapore on 13 February 1997. The EU voiced its concern about recent moves by Beijing to expurgate the Bill of Rights of the future SAR (Special Autonomous Region) of some of its provisions guaranteeing basic democratic rights.
