Subject: Activities of publicly-owned Spanish shipyards

The Commission has informed the Spanish Government of its decision to extend the procedure concerning the

Has the Council taken any firm decision in this connection?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1824/97

by Laura De Esteban Martin (PPE) to the Council

(29 May 1997)

Subject: Community passport and minors

The current design of Community passports, drawn up by the Member States in accordance with the Council
Resolution of 23 June 1981 (1), means that minors may receive inadequate protection in some Member States
because they are not properly identified in the passport.

In some cases, passports include a photograph of the mother or father as passport-holder, together with their
details. The first names and surnames (full surnames do not always appear due to lack of space), date of birth and
sex of children may be included in another page on presentation of their birth certificates. These details would
make it possible for any adult to take a child of approximately the same age as the child included in their passport
and remove the child from its country of residence, as the child would be unable to provide proof of its actual
identity.

Is the Council aware of the possible problems which this passport design might pose, and can it state its position
on modifying the passport format to include new details such as the child(cid:146)s fingerprint and photograph which
would make it possible to guarantee the identification of minors?

(1)  OJ C 241, 19.9.1981, p. 1.

Answer

(20 January 1998)

The  Council  Resolution  of  23  June  1981 (1)  to  which  the  Honourable  Member  refers,  as  supplemented  most
recently  by  the  Resolution  of  10  July  1995 (2),  provides  in  part  G  for  a  page  to  be  reserved,  inter  alia,  for
particulars of children accompanying the holder, including the name, surname, date of birth and sex of the child.
Member States may also, if they so wish, provide for a photograph of the child to be added.

Member States thus have some discretion as to the information that is to appear on the passport page provided for
in part G of the Resolution.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1960/97 by Katerina Daskalaki (UPE) to the Commission (29 May 1997)Subject: Violation of the rights of Eleni Fokas, a teacher in a Greek enclave in northern CyprusEleni Fokas, a Greek Cypriot teacher in an enclave in the occupied northern part of Cyprus, is seriously ill and requires medical treatment in the free area of the island. The occupying regime is blackmailing her and threatening to prevent her from returning unless she signs illegal documents stating that she recognizes Denktash' s pseudo-state.Will the Commission say whether it intends to intervene both in this case and in other related flagrant human rights violations involving the very few Greek Cypriots remaining in the occupied part of Cyprus, given that:1. Cyprus is a candidate for EU accession; and2. Turkey which dictates the actions and policies of the Denktash regime is a country linked to the EU by a Customs Union agreement?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (18 June 1997)According to the information received by the Commission, Ms Fokas was recently authorised to go to the southern part of the island for treatment. According to the same information, Ms Fokas did not have to sign any documents on leaving the northern part of the island.
