WRITTEN QUESTION No. 4165/97 by Alman METTEN to the Commission. Pinching orders with the help of government subsidies  


Official Journal C 187 , 16/06/1998 P. 0135 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-4165/97 by Alman Metten (PSE) to the Commission (7 January 1998)Subject: Pinching orders with the help of government subsidies1. Is the Commission aware of a broadcast by TV-2 in the Netherlands on 15 December 1997, in which documentary evidence was produced to show that in 1994 the French Government managed to convert an order by Vietnam Airlines for Fokker into an order for ATR, partly by cancelling half of Vietnam's outstanding debt and partly by rescheduling the other half?2. Does the Commission not take the view that cancelling debts in exchange for orders from a nationalized industry is a form of government subsidy?3. Does the Commission agree that this kind of behaviour also distorts competition in the single market itself, particularly when it is designed to pinch an order from a competing European Union industry, since in some sectors such as the aerospace industry orders from third countries are crucial for the health if not survival of European Union businesses (such as Fokker)?4. What steps is the Commission willing and able to take to put an end to cowboy practices of this sort?Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (3 February 1998)The Commission is not aware of the facts referred to by the Honourable Member. It is investigating the matter with the Member States concerned in order to gather the necessary information for an assessment of the case. If it were to transpire that the firm ATR did receive state aid in the context of the order by Vietnam Airlines, the Commission would go on to examine its compatibility with the common market.

COMMUNICATION  FROM THE COMMISSION 
TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 

Establishment of the European Bureau for 
Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control 
at the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies 
of the Joint Research Centre 

Establishment  of the European Bureau  for 
Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control 
at the Institute for Prospective Technological  Studies 
of the Joint Research Centre 

Communication of the Commission to the Council and the 
European Parliament 

In  the  frame  of  Council  Directive  96/61/EC,  the  Commission  has  established  the  European 
Integrated  Pollution  and  Prevention  and  Control  Bureau  (EIPPCB)  at  the  Institute  for 
Prospective  Technological  Studies  (IPTS),  Seville,  of  the  Joint  Research  Centre  (JRC).  The 
Bureau  provides  scientific  and  technical  support  to  the  implementation  of  the  Directive.  It 
commenced operations in January  1997. 

The  aim  of  the  Directive  is  to  achieve  integrated  prevention  and  control  of  pollution  arising 
from major industrial installations based on the concept of Best Available Techniques (BAT). In 
particular,  Article  16  of  the  Directive  requires  the  Commission  to  organise  an  exchange  of 
information  between  Member  States  and the  industries  concerned  on BAT, their  development 
and associated monitoring, and to publish the results of the exchange of information  every three 
years. 

The  main  responsibilities  of  EIPPCB  are  the  development  and  management  of  the  European 
information  exchange system on integrated pollution prevention and control and the drafting  of 
technical  BAT documents  for  the industrial  activities  listed in Annex  I of the  Directive. These 
technical documents on BAT will be used by the competent authorities in the Member States as 
a basis  for  the determination  of pollutants emission  limit values in the permits  for  operation  of 
industrial installations. 

EIPPCB  is  a joint  initiative  of  the  Directorate  General  for  Environment,  Nuclear  Safety  and 
Civil  Protection  and  the  Joint  Research  Centre.  It  was  established  at  IPTS,  which  hosts  the 
European  Science and Technology  Observatory, with a view to exploit the synergies with IPTS 
mission of technology watch.
