WRITTEN QUESTION No. 584/97 by Alexandros ALAVANOS to the Council. Persecution of opposition leaders in Albania  


Official Journal C 391 , 23/12/1997 P. 0019 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0584/97 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Council (25 February 1997)Subject: Persecution of opposition leaders in AlbaniaAt the instigation of the Albanian Government, the judicial authorities have charged the opposition leaders of the Socialist Party, Retzet Meïdani, the Social Democratic party, Skender Ginoussi, the Democratic Alliance, Arben Imani, and other party leaders with being directly responsible for the violent incidents which followed the collapse of the country's pyramid finance schemes, of which the Albanian Government had been forewarned by the International Monetary Fund.In view of the flawed nature of the political system in Albania which effectively has no constitution and bearing in mind Parliament's resolutions on human rights in that country and on the release of the Socialist party leader, Fatos Nano - who remains in prison despite international pressure - what practical measures will the Council take to halt this unacceptable persecution by the regime, to secure the release of Fatos Nano and re-establish a democratic constitution and all democratic freedoms in Albania?Answer (14 July 1997)The Council welcomes the fact that President Berisha announced a pardon for Mr Fatos Nano on 16 March 1997 following Mr Nano's release from prison along with other prisoners after the Albanian Minister of Justice had ruled that their security could no longer be guaranteed because of the anarchy sweeping the country.The Council is of the opinion that the formation of a Government of National Reconciliation has paved the way for a return to a functioning democracy and the rule of law in Albania.The Council is actively engaged in the efforts to help Albania to return to political stability and to prepare fresh elections in June, to restore internal security, as well as to help in providing humanitarian assistance and in working with the international financial institutions on support for wider economic reforms.These efforts are mainly carried out through the international Advisory Mission in Albania, initiated by the Council and set up within the coordinating framework of the OSCE to advise on humanitarian, economic, political and security related issues. The civilian efforts require constant cooperation and coordination by the international entities, such as the Union, the OSCE and the Council of Europe, which play their part in their respective areas of competence.

Official Journal C 367 , 04/12/1997 P. 0027 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0580/97 by Hugh McMahon (PSE) to the Commission (25 February 1997)Subject: Information policy 1997What discussions have taken place with the other Community institutions and Member States with respect to funding European information policy?In particular, what were the conclusions of these discussions and were any specific decisions taken with regard to information policy in the United Kingdom?Joint answer to Written Questions E-0529/97 and E-0580/97 given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (14 April 1997)The Commission is assisted in the implementation of its Community information policy by an advisory working group made up of representatives of Parliament and the Commission.The main trends for 1997 are decentralization and direct access by the public. These are being put into practice by partnerships between the Member States, Parliament and the Commission as part of the priority information campaigns under the Prince programme entitled: 'The Euro - a Currency for Europe' and 'Building Europe Together'.The UK has so far not wished to sign a partnership agreement.As far as the ongoing information policy is concerned, the Commission decides on the amount to be allocated for information in each Member State at the beginning of each year, on the basis of recommendations by its Offices in the Member States. The ECU 3 million allocated to the United Kingdom in 1997 is comparable with the amounts allocated to Germany, Spain, France and Italy.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 593/97 by Annemie NEYTS-UYTTEBROECK to the Council. Sale of land in the European district by the Belgian state  


Official Journal C 373 , 09/12/1997 P. 0021 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0593/97 by Annemie Neyts-Uyttebroeck (ELDR) to the Council (25 February 1997)Subject: Sale of land in the European district by the Belgian stateIn October 1996 the (Belgian) property management agency offered for sale a number of undeveloped properties on the chaussée d'Etterbeek. A number of sites were sold in December 1996 to a private company, including the site which a number of years ago was designated for building extra offices for the Council. It is well known that the Council has been suffering from lack of office accommodation since it took over the Justus Lipsius building.1. Did the Belgian federal authorities give the Council Secretariat formal notice that it was putting the site on the market?2. If so, why exactly did the Council Secretariat not inform the Member States' permanent representatives of this?3. Finally, is the Council aware that any expansion would infringe the existing town planning regulations, as set out in the provincial development plan, since the zone in question has been designated for housing and commercial and cultural purposes?Answer (16 June 1997)The Belgian authorities have been informed since 1994 of the Council General Secretariat's plan to have an extension built to the Justus Lipsius building on the site in question, which, as from 1992, was set aside for that purpose on the "Plan Particulier d'Aménagement de la Ville de Bruxelles¨ (Brussels Town Development Plan).Regarding the Honourable Member's first two questions, the Belgian Federal Government did not give the General Secretariat of the Council formal notice that it was putting the site in question on the market. However, official notice of the sale of the site was given and all the parties concerned had enough time to be apprised thereof.With reference to the Honourable Member's final question, any extensions will be carried out in accordance with the town-planning regulations laid down by the host State.
