WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3258/97 by Rosemarie WEMHEUER to the Council. Manufacture and export of instruments of torture  


Official Journal C 158 , 25/05/1998 P. 0072 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3258/97 by Rosemarie Wemheuer (PSE) to the Council (21 October 1997)Subject: Manufacture and export of instruments of tortureAt the end of July 1997 the press indicated that Great Britain had adopted amended guidelines for worldwide trade in weapons manufactured in Britain. The export of instruments of torture is also forbidden.1. In the individual Member States of the EU is there a definition of which goods in the broadest sense come are designated 'instruments of torture'?2. In which Member States of the EU are instruments of torture produced and marketed?3. Does the EU have a legal basis which can be used to prohibit the manufacture, marketing and, in particular, export of instruments of torture?4. Were there joint European initiatives in the past in this area or are any European initiatives planned for the near future?Answer (20 January 1998)It is particularly difficult to define the instruments and products which be categorized as 'instruments of torture' because, depending on the circumstances, products and equipment designed for perfectly legitimate uses can be used as instruments of torture. This is no doubt the reason why no such definition appears in either the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, adopted by the UN General Assembly on 10 December 1984 ((All the EU Member States have signed the Convention. Thirteen have ratified it. )), or the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, adopted by the Council of Europe on 26 November 1987 ((All fifteen Member States of the Union are party to the Convention. )).In the absence of a precise definition, the issue of the control of these products or instruments which, by their nature, do not appear on the reference list of dual-use goods covered by Community arrangements for export control on dual-use goods, and are not necessarily covered by Article 223 of the EC Treaty, has been examined on several occasions by the Council's Working Parties. Detailed investigations carried out in the past have confirmed that a number of Member States do, in fact, control exports of equipment the normal use of which is legitimate, but which could also be used to inflict torture, in particular electric irons and truncheons.Active consideration of the problem is continuing in the Council's bodies, in order to determine the most appropriate way to control exports of these products in a coordinated manner.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3324/97 by Maartje van PUTTEN to the Council. Implementation of the European Parliament's resolution on the violation of the rights of the indigenous peoples and the logging of tropical forests on Yamdena Island in Indonesia  


Official Journal C 174 , 08/06/1998 P. 0039 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3324/97 by Maartje van Putten (PSE) to the Council (21 October 1997)Subject: Implementation of the European Parliament's resolution on the violation of the rights of the indigenous peoples and the logging of tropical forests on Yamdena Island in IndonesiaFurther to Parliament's resolutions B4-0065/97 and 0130/97 ((OJ C 85, 17.3.1997, p. 147. )), does the Council know whether the Indonesian Government taken serious action to engage in a dialogue with the indigenous peoples of Yamdena Island with a view to finding a socially acceptable solution for the sustainable development of Yamdena and the Moluccan Archipelago?How does the Council intend to convey the European Parliament's concern about the rights of the indigenous peoples of the Moluccan Archipelago and the logging of tropical forests on Yamdena Island in its contacts with the Indonesian Government?Answer (26 February 1998)The Council is not aware of any specific action by the Indonesian Government which aims to address the issue raised in the question.In contacts between Member States and other countries in Asia, including Indonesia, the question of the rights of indigenous people is normally tackled within the context of the ongoing discussion on human rights. It is customary that the European Union's concern for minorities is raised.Sustainable development for regions such as those referred to in the question has for some length of time been another major issue in discussions between the Union and developing countries. Indonesia is no exception to this principle.
