WRITTEN QUESTION No. 634/97 by Joan COLOM I NAVAL to the Commission. Community grants to the media  


Official Journal C 391 , 23/12/1997 P. 0021 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0634/97 by Joan Colom i Naval (PSE) to the Commission (4 March 1997)Subject: Community grants to the mediaCan the Commission provide a list of the media which received a Community subsidy in the financial years 1995 and 1996, specifying the amount and the budget line to which it was charged?Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (5 June 1997)The Commission does not give subsidies to the media in the Community. However, on rare occasions and under strict conditions, the Commission may sometimes provide small amounts of seed finance for particular projects on an ad hoc basis. The list of projects receiving such finance in 1995 and 1996 is sent direct to the Honourable Member and to the Secretariat general of the Parliament. All the projects listed were financed from line B3-3300. It is the firm conviction of the Commission that such finance in the Community, for which it has the intention of establishing objective criteria, should be kept to a very strict minimum.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 626/97 by Luigi MORETTI to the Commission. State aid  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0139 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0626/97 by Luigi Moretti (NI) to the Commission (4 March 1997)Subject: State aidUnder Decree Law No 669 of 31 December 1996, the Italian Government introduced subsidies for those buying cars in Italy.Although this decree law does not introduce measures which benefit particular firms manufacturing cars, it does penalize car dealers who pursue their activities outside Italy, particularly those operating near its borders.Does this measure comply with European Union law on competition rules and state aid?Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (11 April 1997)As far as the Commission knows, the law adopted by the Italian government provides for the aid measures in favour of consumers to be paid irrespective of the origin of the car. Non-Italian as well as non-European cars are included. Further the law does not include any condition, e.g. technical specifications, that would be more likely to be fulfilled by certain producers. Because of this, it appears that the law is not caught by the state aid provisions (in particular Article 92(1)) laid down by the EC Treaty.This case is parallel to the cases of incentives to consumers for the renewal of old cars or for the purchase of low-polluting cars which have been in force in other Member States, where because of the non-dicriminatory nature of the incentive, the Commission was of the view that it did not favour certain car producers and thus did not infringe Article 92(1) of the EC Treaty.

This is true for all the different language versions of Agence Europe.

Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0138 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0622/97 by Phillip Whitehead (PSE) to the Commission (4 March 1997)Subject: Air transportGiven that one of the real barriers to competition in air transport is the lack of slots available to new market entrants and indeed due to historical rights held by some carriers on routes:1. What progress is the Commission making towards amending Council Regulation (EEC) 95/93 ((OJ L 14, 22.1.1993, p. 1.)) on slot allocation at Community airports?2. What is the Commission's present view on monetized slot trading?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (21 April 1997)The Commission requested consultants to prepare a comprehensive analysis of the functioning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93. This was discussed in consultations with experts from Member States and from the industry. On the basis of the information thus obtained, the Commission is presently preparing proposals for the Council to amend the Regulation.One of the options being considered is monetary slot trading between airlines. Introduction of such a mechanism has a number of implications which the Commission is currently assessing. A proposal for the revision of the Regulation will be presented to the Council as soon as possible.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 618/97 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Brenner Pass  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0135 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0618/97 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (4 March 1997)Subject: Brenner PassThere are constant complaints from road hauliers that the Austrian authorities obstruct them in their work. Every day, hundreds of fines are imposed because the maximum gross weight is still 38 tonnes in Austria whereas, in most European countries, it is 40 tonnes or more.The fact that Austria has not harmonized with the rest of Europe on this limit and that lorries whose engines have been replaced with newer models using anti-pollution technology are not given more favourable treatment under the 'ecopoints' system mean that hauliers are unable to use the Brenner Pass. Moreover, these problems are even more acute for countries such as Greece, most of whose lorries are old and therefore entitled to fewer transit journeys as well as having to pay additional charges.What steps has the Commission taken to bring the Austrian authorities into line with the rules applying in the other Member States and to put an end to the money-spinning system of fines on lorries over 38 tonnes which, in 1990 alone, yielded 33 million Austrian schillings for that country's treasury?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (10 April 1997)Upon accession to the Community Austria agreed to permit Community-registered heavy goods vehicles of 38 tonnes plus 5% tolerance without penalty. This obligation is stated in joint declaration No 19 of the Treaty of Accession ((OJ C 241, 29.8.1994. )). Thus, from 1 January 1995 trucks registered in Greece with a total weight of up to 40 tonnes have been permitted to travel in Austria.Furthermore, the ecopoint regime does not discriminate against re-engined trucks. Any truck fitted with a new engine is entitled to have the environmental performance of the new engine as the basis upon which the number of ecopoints necessary per transit journey is set.However, if the Honourable Member has specific evidence of incidents in which fines have been levied on trucks of up to 40 tonnes he is invited to provide the Commission with that evidence.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 619/97 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Financial scandal in Albania  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0136 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0619/97 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (4 March 1997)Subject: Financial scandal in AlbaniaThe events taking place in Albania as a result of the 'pyramid' financial scandal are well known. All the information suggests that the Berisha government, members of which were involved in the scandal, were aware of the situation.A new wave of economic refugees from Albania - a country receiving aid from the Commission - has been created with unforeseeable consequences for their host countries, which include Greece. In view of this, will the Commission say:1. what information it has gathered concerning the financial scandal and the possible involvement of officials in the Berisha government,2. if the information is correct, what its response will be, and3. what measures it will take to deal with the problem of economic refugees from Albania?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (14 April 1997)The Albanian Government knew of the existence of pyramid companies and the risk they posed to the Albanian financial sector. In 1996, and well before the first bankruptcies at the end of November, the International Monetary Fund had issued several warnings. The Commission for its part also offered technical assistance from October onwards in order to set up a legislative and regulatory framework geared to the financial sector but the Albanian Government's attitude has scarcely shifted. The Commission does not have information concerning any involvement of high-level government officials in these financial operations.The Commission is aware of the existence of a flow of economic refugees from Albania to various Member States, a problem which has been worsening in recent times. It shares the disquiet of the Honourable Member but cannot act directly as there is no proper European framework to approach the Albanian authorities on this matter ((See answer given recently to written question No E-0057/97 by Mr Roubatis on illegal immigration and drugs trafficking at the Greek-Albanian border. )). On the other hand, it is willing to speed up, where it can, the implementation of schemes to foster local development already forming part of the Phare programme with a view to boosting job creation and thus check emigration. It is also willing to provide humanitarian aid.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 616/97 by Niels KOFOED to the Commission. Livestock reported to Eurostat for calculation of the early marketing premium  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0134 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0616/97 by Niels Kofoed (ELDR) to the Commission (4 March 1997)Subject: Livestock reported to Eurostat for calculation of the early marketing premiumWhat categories and numbers of livestock are reported to Eurostat by the respective Member States of the European Union for calculation of the marketing weight in connection with the introduction of early marketing premiums?Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission (12 May 1997)The average reference weight for granting the early marketing premium for calves has been set on the basis of Eurostat's statistics on the slaughter of bovine animals.In order to produce harmonised data, Council Directive 93/24/EEC of 1 June 1993 ((OJ L 149, 21 June 1993. )) clearly defines the characteristics of carcases.In addition to data collected in abattoirs, the Members States have to carry out an assessment of slaughterings on the farm. This is generally a flat-rate figure, but does not significantly alter the average weight.Given these factors, the final weights used to determine eligibility for the premium are the Eurostat data for 1995, with the exception of Germany and Denmark where changes have been made to bring the figures into line with the situation observed in the abattoirs. These changes are based on well-substantiated information provided by these Member States, in accordance with Article 41 of the Council Regulation on the common organization of the market in beef and veal ((Repl. (EEC) 805/68. Last amended by Council Regulation No 2222/96, OJ L 296, 21 November 1996. )).The Commission is sending a table containing the information requested directly to the Honourable Member and the Secretariat-General of the Parliament.
