WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2052/97 by Mark WATTS to the Commission. Channel Employment Services Limited  


Official Journal C 060 , 25/02/1998 P. 0086 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-2052/97 by Mark Watts (PSE) to the Commission (9 June 1997)Subject: Channel Employment Services LimitedA British sub-contracting company from my constituency, Channel Employment Services Limited (CES Ltd), has been operating in Germany for almost five years. During this time the company has fully complied with both British and German regulations.However, the company has been subjected to continous, rigorous raids and check-ups on their employment practice by various German government bodies. This has resulted in reduced output on the part of the company due to the amount of time employees have to spend in dealing with the demands of the German authorities, in addition to jeopardizing future work with existing clients who may fear that their sub-contractor is operating illegally in Germany.Could the European Commission investigate that German contractors are being sub jected to similar check-ups by the German government authorities? Could this be an instance of discrimination by the German government authorities against British companies, undermining the Single Market by blocking the free movement of goods, services and people?Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission (30 July 1997)The Honourable Member's question is concerned, in general terms, with checks on the activities of a British company in Germany.It is not clear from the question whether the inspections carried out by the German authorities should be examined from the view point of right of establishment (Article 52 of the EC Treaty), assuming that the British company has been established in Germany for almost five years, or from that of freedom to provide services across national frontiers on a temporary basis (Article 59 of theTreaty).In any case, both Article 52 and Article 59 require the abolition of all restrictions which discriminate against Community nationals on grounds of nationality. Discriminatory measures can be justified only for imperative reasons of public policy, public security or public health. What is more, such reasons may be invoked only within the limits imposed by the Court of Justice in the light of the principle of proportionality. Within this framework, the authorities in Member States must comply with Community law.The Commission has insufficient information to decide on this specific case and to give a full reply. It is prepared to examine the question in greater detail on receipt of further information.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1969/97 by Thomas Megahy (PSE) to the Commission (9 June 1997)Subject: Investment in clean coal technologyHow much money has been invested by the Commission in clean coal technology demonstration projects since 1985?What proportion of this investment has been spent in each member country of the EU?What is the current cost per tonne of output of deep-mined coal in each of those member countries which still have a deep-mined coal industry?Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission (15 September 1997)The total amount committed by the Commission to clean coal technology demonstration projects from 1985 to 1996 inclusive is MECU 212,4 and the breakdown is as follows:>TABLE>It should be noted that many projects are of a collaborative nature, involving partners from two or more Member States (indeed, this is an absolute requirement under the present rules for the Thermie programme). In the above table, the total project funding is attributed to the Member State of the lead contractor in such cases, since it is virtually impossible to give a precise breakdown among the individual partners.For example, a large part of the figure for Spain is accounted for by the Puertollano IGCC project, for which the aid of over MECU 50 is shared in varying proportions by several other countries.The production cost of deep-mined coal in the Member States which have this type of industry is as follows:>TABLE>

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1988/97 by Roberta ANGELILLI to the Commission. Application of Community law in Italy  


Official Journal C 060 , 25/02/1998 P. 0075 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1988/97 by Roberta Angelilli (NI) to the Commission (9 June 1997)Subject: Application of Community law in ItalyThere are constant reports in the Italian press of Italy's very poor record when it comes to implementing Community law.Replying to a question tabled by several MEPs, including myself, the Commission revealed that there were 410 different proceedings under way against Italy as at 6 March 1997.Can the Commission specify how many directives have not yet been transposed into Italian national law?Can it also give more general details of the course of an infringement procedure against a Member State?Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (17 July 1997)As of 30 June 1997 Italy had still not informed the Commission of measures for the transposal into national law of 88 Directives (out of a total of 1 346 that were due to be transposed by that date). In most of these 88 cases, Italy had informed the Commission of its intended timetable for adopting the measures.As far as the course of an infringement procedure initiated by the Commission against a Member State is concerned, the Commission would refer the Honourable Member to Article 169 of the EC Treaty. The Commission has described this procedure in its annual reports on the monitoring of the application of Community law. It would refer the Honourable Member in particular to the introduction to the 10th ((OJ C 233, 30.8.1993. )) and 14th ((COM(97) 299 final. )) reports.

These  provisions  have  been  established  to  place  the  animals  under  the  direct  control  and  responsibility  of  a
veterinarian,  when  they  are  treated  with  a  veterinary  medicinal  product  not  authorised  for  the  particular
circumstances in order to protect the animal and the consumer. The purpose of this provision, therefore is not to
grant  a  particular  profession  a  monopoly,  but  to  protect  public  and  animal  health.  There  is  no  evidence  that
veterinarians actually abuse their position by systematically prescribing more expensive products.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1974/97 by Alexandros ALAVANOS to the Commission. Continuation of mental health reform in Greece  


Official Journal C 391 , 23/12/1997 P. 0147 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1974/97 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (9 June 1997)Subject: Continuation of mental health reform in GreeceThe final report on the implementation of Regulation 815/84 ((OJ L 88, 31.3.1984, p. 1. )) (COM(95) 668 final) states that the measures taken under Regulation 815/84 will be continued with financing from the Structural Funds with a view to the 'full use of the training capacities created under Regulation 815/84 and the continuation of the reform effort in the mental health care system.'Why, at the present time, is this broad field confined solely to measures concerning the employment of psychiatric patients? What measures are being taken on behalf of those psychiatric patients who are unable to venture on to the job market?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (4 July 1997)The final report on the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 815/84 on exceptional financial support in favour of Greece in the social field, stipulates that 'the Greek authorities are expected to ensure continuity of the reform and build upon the achievements of the Regulation through new forms of intervention, notably under the Community support framework 1994-1999 for Greece'. This implies that the scope of action is not the same as that of Regulation (EEC) No 815/84 and that the type of action to be financed is subject to the eligibility contraints imposed by the structural fund regulations and in particular Council Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 as regards the European social fund ((OJ L 193, 31.7.1993. )).It is important to note however that the relevant operations are not limited only to employment. They also include measures designed to deal with the structural and operational problems leading to the socio-economic exclusion of the mentally ill. Although the aim is to promote integration into open employment, possibilities of enlarging the spectrum of employment opportunities through the development of cooperatives and other forms of social enterprises are also envisaged. Although this approach cannot be directly applied to people with severe disability, it could have some indirect benefits for them.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1970/97 by Spalato Belleré (NI) to the Commission (9 June 1997)Subject: Allowing sex in prisonsThe Italian Parliament is about to vote on a bill seeking to introduce four-hour 'sex periods' in prisons.The precise details of the proposal, which was prompted by the case of a leading member of the Neapolitan criminal organization, the Camorra, sentenced to several life terms for brutal murders carried out either by him or at his bidding, are as yet unclear.Would the Commission not agree that a study should be carried out by specialists such as sociologists, psycho-analysts and crime experts with a view to further exploring this matter which, despite the underlying humanitarian motives, nonetheless gives rise to disquiet, particularly when one considers that sex might become a privilege of criminals who, when they committed their crimes, showed no trace of sensitivity or human feelings?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (11 July 1997)The Commission has no jurisdiction to deal with the question asked, which is a matter solely for the national authorities concerned.
