WRITTEN QUESTION E-0947/97 by Leonie van Bladel (UPE) to the Council (17 March 1997)Subject: Middle EastWhat action is the Council taking in the context of peace policy in the Middle East in response to the statement made by the President of the Iranian Parliament, Nateq Nouri, on 7 February 1997: 'Israel is a bastard state', adding ' May Allah give you Palestinians victory. I hope one day we will celebrate the destruction of Israel'?Joint answer to Written Questions E-0946/97, E-0947/97 and E-0948/97 (1 July 1997)1. The European Union has pursued its Critical Dialogue with Iran in accordance with the decision of the European Council in Edinburgh, 1992. Its aim in conducting the Critical Dialogue was to encourage a more positive and constructive Iranian role in the region. It has made it clear that EU-Iran relations cannot develop normally in the absence of progress in the areas dealt with in the Critical Dialogue.2. Following the findings of the Superior Court of Justice in Berlin in the so-called Mykonos case, the Presidency issued on 10 April 1997 a statement on behalf of the European Union, condemning the involvement of the Iranian authorities. The European Union noted that under the present circumstances there is no basis for the continuation of the critical dialogue.3. At its meeting in Luxembourg, on 29/30 April 1997, the Council had an extensive discussion on European Union relations with Iran. It agreed on a number of measures with respect to Iran and decided to keep the relationship with Iran under close review.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 937/97 by Cristiana MUSCARDINI to the Council. European Council decisions taken at the end of each Presidency  


Official Journal C 373 , 09/12/1997 P. 0039 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0937/97 by Cristiana Muscardini (NI) to the Council (17 March 1997)Subject: European Council decisions taken at the end of each PresidencyThe agreement between Mr Hänsch, in his capacity as President of the European Parliament, and Mr Junker, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, concerning the transfer of a certain number of posts in the Secretariat from Luxembourg to Brussels, betrays the spirit and the letter of the conclusions of the Edinburgh Summit. It is justified by an ill-defined policy of economizing on mission expenses and rationalising Parliament's services; it fails to take any account of the human dimension or to consider the accompanying social measures which the decision to transfer large numbers of staff would necessitate (housing, schools and childcare); and it ultimately serves the interests of a hierarchy which is growing increasingly politicized.Does the Council not agree that this is an essentially political matter, which has nothing to do with the need to make savings, which are marginal in this case?Does the Council not agree that the attitude displayed by Mr Hänsch and Mr Junker opens up, once again, the question of the seat of the institutions, which appeared to have been resolved by the decisions taken at the Edinburgh Summit?What measures does the Council envisage to ensure that the decisions taken in Dublin are respected and to demonstrate to the public that the real purpose of the European Summits at the end of Council Presidencies is to adopt principles and guidelines for the construction of the Community?Answer (1 July 1997)The Council is confident that, when it proposes to transfer posts, the European Parliament complies with the Decision of 12 December 1992 taken by common agreement between the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States on the location of the seats of the institutions and of certain bodies and departments of the European Communities ((OJ C 341, 23.12.1991, p. 1. )).

Official Journal C 373 , 09/12/1997 P. 0060 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1071/97 by Roberta Angelilli (NI) to the Commission (17 March 1997)Subject: Privatization of the Rome 'Municipal Energy and Environmental Board'On 16 July 1996, replying to Written Question P-1747/96 ((OJ C 345, 15.11.1996, p. 102. )) entitled 'ACEA and Milk Marketing Board', Commissioner Monti announced that the Commission might institute infringement proceedings pursuant to Article 169 of the EC Treaty. The Rome Municipality had failed to forward the call for tenders for an advisor on the privatization of the Municipal Energy and Environmental Board to the Office for Official Publications, thereby preventing it from being duly published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. In the meantime the Municipality has not only awarded the contract but is now going ahead with the privatization process.Will the Commission provide information on developments in this affair?In particular, will the Commission state whether there are still grounds for instituting proceedings pursuant to Article 169 of the EC Treaty?Finally, what will such proceedings entail, should they be instituted?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (13 May 1997)On the basis of the information available to it at present on the contract for assistance and advisory services in connection with the planning stage of the Rome Municipality's restructuring, conversion and upgrading activities, including the privatization of the Municipal Energy and Environmental Board (ACEA), the Commission does not take the view that the Community rules on the publication of calls for tenders have been infringed.The contract award notice was published in the Official Journal ((OJ S 103, 31.5.1996. )). The contract is worth LIT 327 726 000 exclusive of VAT, which is below the threshold specified in Directive 92/50/EEC ((OJ L 209, 24.7.1992. )).It is correct that, under Article 7(1) of Directive 92/50/EEC, the value to be taken into account in determining whether this Directive applies is that of the estimated value and not that of the contract to be awarded. For this reason, the Commission is currently in contact with the Italian authorities in an attempt to check the estimated value of the contract. Only if the estimated value were to be equal to, or greater than, the threshold determining application of the aforementioned Directive would there have been an obligation on the Rome Municipality to forward the call for tenders in question to the Office for Official Publications.
