WRITTEN QUESTION No. 562/97 by Carlos ROBLES PIQUER to the Commission. Directory of interest groups  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0115 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0562/97 by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Commission (24 February 1997)Subject: Directory of interest groupsThe Commission is to be congratulated on publishing the Directory of Interest Groups, which was issued on 30 September 1996 and of which I have recently received a copy.The commendable efforts undertaken nevertheless prompt the question of why, according to the note attached to the directory, no fewer than nineteen headings have been deleted, many of them dealing with activities having a major influence on European life.It would also be useful to know whether the committees and delegations of the European Parliament, as well as individual Members, were invited to provide the valuable information in their possession prior to publication. This would certainly have avoided, for example, the omission from the directory of non-profit making interest groups ('pan-European non-profit-making organizations' as they are described on p. XIII) such as the 'Fondation Européenne de l'Energie' and the European Forum for Renewable Energy Sources (EUFORES), which are both chaired by MEPs and work closely with the Commission.Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (14 April 1997)The 19 codes or sectors which were deleted from the table on sectors of activity already appeared under other codes or sectors; the 'sugar' sector (code 707), for example, was already included under 'Other food industries' (code C57). Associations representing the deleted sectors are thus listed but under another heading.Non-profit interest groups were entered in the directory on a voluntary basis following the call for the expression of interest published in the Official Journal ((OJ C 126, 7.5.1994. )) and on the basis of the information in the Commission's possession.This first edition of the directory is not, of course, exhaustive and it is already being up-dated. For that reason, a registration form is attached to the directory. Moreover, the directory has been distributed very widely so that the organizations not listed can put their names forward for the next edition due out at the end of 1997. The directory will shortly be placed onto the Europa server so that all interested associations can be included in it very quickly.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 561/97 by Laura GONZÁLEZ ÁLVAREZ , Pedro MARSET CAMPOS , María SORNOSA MARTÍNEZ to the Commission. Shooting practice using live animals by the Ertzaintza using in Berroci, Alava (Spain)  


Official Journal C 367 , 04/12/1997 P. 0028 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0561/97 by Laura González Álvarez (GUE/NGL), Pedro Marset Campos (GUE/NGL) and María Sornosa Martínez (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (24 February 1997)Subject: Shooting practice using live animals by the Ertzaintza using in Berroci, Alava (Spain)According to media reports, the Ertzaintza (Basque autonomous police) has in recent years been carrying out shooting practice with live animals (mainly goats) in order to determine the effects of different types of ammunition on the bodies of live animals at installations of the Ministry of the Interior at Berroci (Alava).The bodies of the animals are held taut in order to assess the capacity for reaction and movement after the impact and the tests have been recorded on video for subsequent use in ballistics training courses for Ertzainzta members.Nineteen goats have so far been killed as a result of 'shots fired using different types of ammunition'.Bearing in mind that the gratuitous cruelty of shooting animals can scarcely be seen as contributing to the training of police officers and that neither sadism nor cruelty can be justified for reasons of state or in the interests of police efficiency, will the Commission say:1. Whether it is aware of this situation?2. Whether it believes that an inquiry should be launched by the appropriate authorities and this practice ended immediately?3. How it intends to ensure the protection of animals used under the pretext of improving police efficiency or similar purposes?4. Whether there is any Community legislation the Commission could enforce as a matter of urgency in order to end this practice and hold those responsible accountable?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (18 March 1997)1. The Commission is not aware of the situation described by the Honourable Members.2. and 3. There is no Community legislation in respect of the matter to which the Honourable Members refer. It is, therefore, a matter for the local or national authorities to regulate as they see fit.4. Although the Council has adopted a number of directives on the protection of animals these texts, except in the case of transport, apply to animals kept for farming purposes and laboratory animals. There is currently no Community legislation covering all aspects of cruel treatment of animals.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0546/97 by Johanna Maij-Weggen (PPE) to the Council (24 February 1997)Subject: Delay in the construction of the Palestinian port on the coast of the Gaza StripCan the Council ask the Israeli Government for clarification of the persistent delay in the construction of a port on the coast of Gaza, despite the fact that the funds for the construction of that port are available from European Union Member State funds (especially the Netherlands)?Answer (20 May 1997)The Council has on several occasions expressed concern about the delay in the construction of the Gaza port and the fact that the already constructed Gaza airport is not yet operating. The Council believes these facilities to be crucial for the long term viability of the Palestinian economy, and the issue is among the main priorities for the mission of the EU Special Envoy to the Middle East Peace Process, Mr Moratinos.The Council hopes that the committee established by the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority to deal with outstanding problems in relation to the port and airport will soon be able to arrive at a positive result, taking into account both Israeli security concerns and the Palestinians' need for an adequate transport infrastructure in the Palestinian territories.The EU special Envoy is currently engaged in a close dialogue with both sides to explore what the EU could do to help promote a solution.
