WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1481/97 by Mark WATTS to the Commission. Treatment of non-French nationals by French police when transporting goods through France  


Official Journal C 391 , 23/12/1997 P. 0088 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1481/97 by Mark Watts (PSE) to the Commission (24 April 1997)Subject: Treatment of non-French nationals by French police when transporting goods through FranceA UK haulage company in my constituency recently had a driver subjected to a routine check at the Rheims toll in France. The police officers took out the tachograph, breaking it in doing so. When they examined the tachograph, they said the driver was breaking the law and immediately fined him £400. When the driver could not pay, the officers parked him on the side of the road and called the haulage company in the UK.Representatives from the English company immediately went to France to personally pay the fine. On arrival in France, the French officers informed them that the fine was now £1000. When this was disputed by the representatives from the company, the French officers pulled a gun on them and impounded their vehicle until they could pay the fine.Can the European Commission investigate with the French authorities whether this is the usual treatment that non-French nationals are subjected to when transporting goods through France? Is the Commission aware of similar instances of brutality by the French police towards non-French nationals? Is this type of behaviour not against the principle of the Single Market - the free movement of people and goods? Is it not a direct infringement of civil liberties?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (5 June 1997)The exercise of checks and the imposition of sanctions are for the Member States to organise in line with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 ((OJ L 370, 31.12.1985. )) on driving times and rest periods and Directive 88/599/EEC ((OJ L 325, 29.11.1988. )) on standard checking procedures. Article 3(3) of this Directive specifically prohibits discrimination by enforcement authorities between resident and non-resident operators in implementing roadside checks.The Commission receives complaints from time to time about various aspects of checking in Member States but is not aware of the details of this case. It is also not aware of circumstances which reflect those mentioned in the written question. In view of the seemingly abnormal nature of the case, the Commission will investigate this matter further with the French authorities.

of 24 April 1997
derogating temporarily from Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2222/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,
Whereas Article 10 (1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 266/97 (4), provides that export licences are to be issued on the fifth working day following that on which the application is lodged, provided that no specific action is taken by the Commission in the meantime;
Whereas, in view of the small quantity still available until 30 June 1997 for which licences can be issued and the small number of days on which the Official Journal is to be published in the first 10 days of May 1997, that period for reflection of five days is too short to ensure sound management of the market and should be increased temporarily to six days;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Notwithstanding Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, applications for licences lodged from 28 April to 7 May 1997 shall be issued on the sixth working day following that on which the application is lodged, provided that no specific action as referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article is taken by the Commission in the meantime.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
