Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission

(4 July 1997)

The  Community-wide  information  campaign  to  promote  consumption  of  fishery  and  aquaculture  products  is
intended to inform Europe’s consumers about the nutritional value of fish and seafood and promote responsible
consumption,  in  particular  making  the  species  for  which  demand  is  low  and  stocks  are  not  overfished  better
known, as well as showing how to recognise quality fish.

The campaign is in various parts, including a campaign directed specifically at primary and secondary schools.
The idea is to raise awareness among young people since their consumption of fish is very low, so that they learn
to appreciate a balanced and varied diet in which fish has its full place.

Because the campaign is aimed at the broad general public, consists of generic advertising and is being shared by
all Member States, there will be no mention of the different fishing gears and techniques used in the Community.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1877/97

by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission

(2 June 1997)

Subject: List of SMEs which have taken part in EU research programmes

The  Commission  and  the  Industrial  Research  and  Development  Advisory  Committee  (IRDAC/CORSI)  have
referred  several  times  to  a  list  of  small-  and  medium-sized  enterprises  (SMEs)  which  have  taken  part  in  the
European Union(cid:146)s research programmes.

Has this list already been published?

Could the Commission inform me of the SMEs in the north-west area of Italy which have participated in EU
research programmes?

Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1938/97

by Riccardo Nencini (PSE) to the Commission

(4 June 1997)

Subject: Benninger (Bisenzio-Florence) › possible transfer

In  1995,  the  undertaking  Benninger  obtained  finance  from  the  Brite  and  Thermie  programmes  totalling
LIT 550 000 000 (double creation project). Discussions are currently being held with the local authorities with a
view  to  obtaining  public  funding  for  vocational  training.  In  April  1997  the  firm  announced  its  intention  of
transferring four-fifths of its production to Germany and Switzerland (the latter a non-EU Member State) by
October 1997. The reasons for this transfer appear incomprehensible since it will lead both to job losses and to a
reduction in associated activities.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1881/97 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Commission. Development of the social dialogue  


Official Journal C 021 , 22/01/1998 P. 0108 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1881/97 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (2 June 1997)Subject: Development of the social dialogueThe Commission has issued a 'Communication concerning the Development of the Social Dialogue at Community Level' (COM(96) 0448 final).As regards the sectoral social dialogue, various aspects must be taken into consideration for the social dialogue to be developed further at sectoral level. Effectiveness is an important factor but consideration must also be given to the contribution which can be made to improving labour relations in Europe. The efficient management of costs must also be considered although this cannot be the sole criterion.Will the Commission therefore allocate sufficient funds, for which there is currently no provision, to the sectoral social dialogue?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (15 July 1997)The Commission recognises the importance of the sectoral dimension of the social dialogue, which makes it possible to take the specific features of each economic activity into account, and of its contribution to the improvement of industrial relations in Europe.In his closing address at the conference on the future of the social dialogue held on 28-29 April 1997, the Member of the Commission responsible for social affairs reiterated the importance of the sectoral social dialogue and confirmed the Commission's desire to support it.Some 20 sectors have developed Community-level dialogue, through joint committees or informal working parties. They receive substantial financial and logistical support from the Commission, which organises around 150 sectoral social dialogue meetings each year. Furthermore, budget heading B3-4000 includes an amount of ECU 5 million for 1997 for funding measures to promote the development of the social dialogue at both sectoral and cross-industrial level.In its Communication concerning the development of the social dialogue at Community level, the Commission refers to the need to seek ways of improving the operation and results of the sectoral social dialogue whilst promoting the more efficient use of resources.Consequently, the Commission suggests that the sectoral social dialogue should focus on strategic sectors and issues, with the strengthening of cooperation and coordination within the Commission in respect of consultation procedures. These various aspects will be the subject of the second Communication on the development of the social dialogue at Community level.
