WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1438/97 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Parallel shipping registry in EU Member States  


Official Journal C 391 , 23/12/1997 P. 0086 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1438/97 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (23 April 1997)Subject: Parallel shipping registry in EU Member StatesCertain EU Member States (Denmark, Netherlands, Germany etc.) have introduced parallel shipping registers of freighters and tankers travelling along international routes to destinations outside the sovereignty of the countries whose flags they fly.Can the Commission say what legal provisions apply at EU level concerning the possibility of parallel shipping registers in all Member States and give a rough idea of what provisions are included in parallel shipping registers set up by certain EU Member States concerning the composition of crews and the financial obligations of shipowners?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (27 May 1997)There is no specific legislation at Community level governing the establishment of parallel registers by Member States. However, registers governed by the law of Member States and established on their territories which form part of the Community are subject to Community legislation, in particular where maritime safety is concerned.There is also no legislation at Community level laying down minimum registration conditions for Member States' ship registers. The advisability of Community legislation laying down minimum registration conditions was discussed in the Commission's maritime strategy document of 13 March 1996 ((SEC(96) 486. )) and is at present being further examined by the Commission.The Commission does not have an inventory with comprehensive details of Member States' parallel or second registers. It is therefore unable to provide the information requested by the Honourable Member regarding these registers.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1456/97 by Giovanni BURTONE to the Commission. Compatibility of Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 with Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92  


Official Journal C 391 , 23/12/1997 P. 0086 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1456/97 by Giovanni Burtone (PPE) to the Commission (23 April 1997)Subject: Compatibility of Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 with Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92When Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 ((OJ L 215, 30.7.1992, p. 96.)) came into force, a farmer who had already benefitted from the premiums provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 ((OJ L 215, 30.7.1992, p. 85.)) submitted an afforestation project which included two plots (wheat and grassland) already covered by Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92.Would the Commission state whether:1. there is any conflict between these two regulations and whether the farmer is eligible for aid under both?2. the provisions laid down in the last subparagraph of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 746/96 avert any possibility of conflict between the two regulations referred to above?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission 28 May 1997It is stipulated in the first indent of Article 10(1). The provision in the last indent of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) 746/96 does not refer to the compatibility of the two Regulations concerned but governs the conditions for a change of an undertaking under Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 to an undertaking for afforestation under Regulation (EEC)No 2080/92. Where such transformations occur, the recipient is not obliged to reimburse the aid received for the undertaking under Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92.In the light of the above it is evident that additionality between the two Regulations is not explicitly prevented, but that it must take account of the general and specific conditions on the combination of aids set out in Regulation (EC) No 746/96.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1457/97 by Freddy BLAK to the Commission. Extent of prostitution  


Official Journal C 373 , 09/12/1997 P. 0134 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1457/97 by Freddy Blak (PSE) to the Commission (23 April 1997)Subject: Extent of prostitutionAccording to an article in the morning newspaper, Jyllandsposten, (7 April 1997), the District of Ringkøbing recently carried out a survey to determine the extent of prostitution in West Jutland in Denmark. The survey highlights problems that follow in the wake of prostitution in a small area of Denmark and reveals that approximately 130 women in the district are making a living from prostitution while collecting social security benefits.In the light of this article, will the Commission say:1. whether it knows the extent of prostitution in the EU, and2. whether EU budget appropriations have been set aside for social measures designed to integrate prostitutes into normal working life?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (30 May 1997)The Commission has no figures relating to the extent of prostitution in the EU as a whole. However, this question can be answered in terms of the various measures that the Community has taken with regard to prevention and the social reintegration of persons involved in prostitution. For example:* in June 1996 a European Conference on Trafficking in Women was organised jointly by the European Commission and the International Organisation for Migration, in Vienna;* pilot social reintegration projects have been selected for funding under budget line B3-4103, 'Measures to combat poverty and social exclusion'. The Commission has also co-financed projects by the Fédération européene pour la disparition de la prostitution, the latest being a comic strip published in November 1996 entitled 'Pour toi Sandra' which aims to inform young people about prostitution and the associated risks;* finally, the Commission recently launched a call for proposals under the 'Daphne' initiative ((OJ C 136, 1.5.1997. )) relating to the new 1997 budget line B3-4109, 'Measures for combating violence against children, young people and women'.

Official Journal C 373 , 09/12/1997 P. 0138 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1475/97 by Luigi Caligaris (ELDR) to the Commission (23 April 1997)Subject: Special aid for the areas of Friuli-Venezia Giulia damaged by fireFor more than two weeks in April 1997 a huge fire swept through the Valcellina area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, causing severe damage to the environment and destroying two thousands hectares of woodland.Given the scale of the fire, which the Italian State has been asked to declare a natural disaster, would the Commission not agree that special aid should be provided to the communes affected, which, moreover, also suffered greatly during the floods of June 1996?Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (29 May 1997)The Commission wishes to express its full sympathy with the victims of the fire which devastated the Valcellina area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia in April 1996. The Commission is aware of the seriousness of the environmental and psychological damage suffered by the people in those areas.The Commission would remind the Honourable Member that budget heading B4-3400 (emergency Community aid) in the 1997 budget has not been allocated the funds with which any immediate action could be taken.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1418/97 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Agreement between the Commission and the illegal Turkish- Cypriot university  


Official Journal C 367 , 04/12/1997 P. 0124 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1418/97 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (23 April 1997)Subject: Agreement between the Commission and the illegal Turkish-Cypriot universityIt was reported on 13.12.1996 that the Commission had concluded an agreement (in the form of exchange of letters) with the so-called 'University of the Eastern Mediterranean' which is located in the occupied part of Cyprus and is an illegal body set up by a 'law' promulgated by the puppet state headed by Mr Denktash.This agreement makes provision for continuous cooperation between the illegal 'university' (through an 'information centre') and the Commission and for monthly dispatches of information material to the centre.This agreement is clearly illegal, since the Commission is not endowed with a legal personality and can assume obligations only on behalf of the Community (and only on condition that it is empowered to do so', while the 'university' in question is completely illegal.Can the Commission explain its official position on this extremely serious matter since it appears to be granting a degree of recognition to the puppet regime of Mr Denktash, something which is clearly not intended by the European Union?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (21 May 1997)The Commission has decided to extend its support to a European information centre set up at the University of the Eastern Mediterranean, Famagusta. Its tasks will include receiving and disseminating all relevant documentation on the institutions, policies and laws of the Community.The decision was covered by the mandate of 6 March 1995 given to the Commission by the Council to inform the Turkish-Cypriot community of the advantages of joining the Community. In compliance with that mandate the Government of Cyprus was duly consulted by the Commission.The Commission has made clear on several occasions that its decision in no way constitutes legal recognition of the de facto situation in the north of Cyprus and does not run counter to the consistent policy of the Community of recognizing only the Government of Cyprus.
