Official Journal C 133 , 28/04/1997 P. 0026 





Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the 'Proposal for a Council Directive amending Directive 93/113/EC concerning the use and marketing of enzymes, micro-organisms and their preparations in animal nutrition` (97/C 133/09)On 14 February 1997 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Articles 43 and 198 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal.The Section for Agriculture and Fisheries, which was responsible for preparing the Committee's work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 6 February 1997. The rapporteur was Mr Colombo.At its 343rd plenary session (meeting of 26 February 1997), the Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 96 votes to three with two abstentions.The Committee notes the large number of applications submitted to the Commission by Member States by 1 January 1996, as required under Directive 93/113/EC of 14 December 1993, concerning the provisional use and marketing of enzymes, micro-organisms and their preparations in animal nutrition.This is a delicate matter, and the Committee shares the Commission's concerns regarding the difficulty in making the requisite careful and thorough examination of such a large number of files. In the case of many of the files, further information has also had to be submitted within the twelve-month period laid down in Article 5 of the Directive (1 January 1996-1 January 1997).The Committee therefore approves the Commission proposal to postpone until 1 January 1998 the date by which a decision will have to be taken on whether the products in question comply with the conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 as regards safety of use and effectiveness for authorization as an additive. However, such postponements should not become established practice.Brussels, 26 February 1997.The President of the Economic and Social CommitteeTom JENKINS

Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the 'Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) amending Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 on the granting, for the 1988/1989-1997/1998 wine years, of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas` (97/C 133/08) On 30 January 1997, the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Articles 43 and 198 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal.The Section for Agriculture and Fisheries, which was responsible for preparing the Committee's work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 6 February 1997. The rapporteur was Mr Quevedo Rojo.At its 343rd plenary session (meeting of 26 February 1997), the Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 93 votes to three, with five abstentions.Having taken note of some Member States' delay in designating the regions to benefit from the permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas pursuant to the terms of Council Regulation (EC) No 1595/96 of 30 July 1996, amending the basic Council Regulation No 1442/88 of 24 May 1988, the Committee approves the Commission proposal to extend the time limit (31 December 1996) fixed for eligible producers to submit applications to the authorities designated by the Member States.Such a measure would seem to be necessary in order not to jeopardize (i) premium payments for 1996/97 and (ii) the success of an instrument that aims to help achieve market balance in the wine-growing sector.Brussels, 26 February 1997.The President of the Economic and Social CommitteeTom JENKINS

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 652/97 by Gerardo GALEOTE QUECEDO to the Commission. Visit by the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Mr Caruana, to senior EC officials (last week in January 1997)  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0148 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-0652/97 by Gerardo Galeote Quecedo (PPE) to the Commission (26 February 1997)Subject: Visit by the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Mr Caruana, to senior EC officials (last week in January 1997)Can the Commission confirm whether, during the visit to Brussels by the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Mr Peter Caruana, in the last week of January 1997, he was received by two Directors-General, Mr Mogg (DG XV, Internal Market) and Mr Currie (DG XXI, Customs and Indirect Taxation) as reported in the press?If so, can the Commission explain why these senior officials received Mr Caruana, given that they have no representative duties?Assuming that these meetings were purely informative, which I should like the Commission to confirm, did Mr Caruana provide Mr Mogg with any information on the proceedings opened by the Commission against the United Kingdom on the grounds of breaches of Community law in the colony of Gibraltar owing to the failure to transpose various directives (for example in the fields of taxation, public procurement, securities, insurance and the recognition of diplomas)?Bearing in mind that the territory of Gibraltar does not form part of the Customs Union and that it is excluded from VAT provisions, what was the purpose of Mr Caruana's meeting with Mr Currie, Director-General of Customs and Indirect Taxation, given that there does not appear to be any connection between his fields of responsibility and the colony of Gibraltar, except as regards the illicit trafficking stemming from that territory? The manner in which Mr Currie defended the interests of the Customs Union in the face of such illicit trafficking would also be a matter of great interest in this context.Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (28 April 1997)In line with the Commission's long-standing policy of discussing the transposition and implementation of Community law, on 28 January 1997 the Director general of DG XV discussed the implementation of directives in the financial services sector in Gibraltar. Similarly, the Director general of DG XXI met the Chief minister of Gibraltar and took the opportunity to discuss measures taken to combat customs fraud. At both meetings members of the United Kingdom permanent representation were present.
