WRITTEN QUESTION E-4227/97

by Maartje van Putten (PSE) to the Commission

(21 January 1998)

Subject: Evaluation report on monk seals in the Mediterranean region and the Eastern Atlantic

The  Commission  has  funded  a  number  of  studies  of  monk  seals  by  Member  States  as  part  of  the  LIFE
programme.  Such  studies  have  been  carried  out  in  both  the  Mediterranean  and  the  Eastern  Atlantic.  The
Commission has subsequently evaluated these studies but the evaluation report has not yet been published.

In the light of the principle of open government, can the Commission say why it has not yet published the

1.
evaluation report?

2.

Can the Commission say when it intends to publish the report?

Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission

(27 February 1998)

The  report  referred  to  by  the  Honourable  Member  is  not  a  research-assessment  report.  It  is  a  technical  and
financial  audit  for  the  ACNAT  and  LIFE  projects  which  is  intended  to  analyse  the  relevance  of  the  projects
submitted by the recipients.

Although  this  is  an  internal  report  intended  to  improve  the  management  and  proper  administration  of  LIFE
projects, the Commission has sent a copy of the executive conclusions of that report to anyone so requesting. In
addition, the conclusions have already been sent to those MEPs having asked for them.

A copy has also been sent to the Honourable Member and to the Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat-General.

(98/C 223/95)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-4228/97

by Ian White (PSE) to the Council

(22 January 1998)

Subject: Age limits on job applications

On what basis does the Council insist on applicants for the posts of English-speaking translators being born after
31 December 1961 as in an advertisement in the British Sunday Telegraph dated 30 November 1997?

Answer

(11 May 1998)

First  of  all,  the  Honourable  Member(cid:146)s  attention  is  drawn  to  Article  1  of  Annex  III  to  the  Staff  Regulations
concerning competition procedure, which clearly gives the Appointing Authority discretion to set an age limit for
the recruitment of officials, and to the relevant case law, which states that (cid:145)the Appointing Authority has a broad
discretion in drawing up the requirements of the competition(cid:146) (1).

More generally, it may be useful to summarize the background of the subject the Honourable Member refers to.

In the early 1990s, the competent joint bodies considered whether age should be a criterion for selection. At that
time, the dominant thinking was in favour of abolishing all age limits, in particular so as to enable mothers to take
up employment again after a career-break.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 4216/97 by Undine-Uta BLOCH von BLOTTNITZ to the Council. Ban on driftnets - Council's failure to take a decision - Obligation to inform  


Official Journal C 196 , 22/06/1998 P. 0103 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-4216/97 by Undine-Uta Bloch von Blottnitz (V) to the Council (22 January 1998)Subject: Ban on driftnets - Council's failure to take a decision - Obligation to informOfficial Journal C 367 of 4 December 1997 published two answers by the Council to questions by Members of the European Parliament, on which I should like further information. Question P-1212/97 ((OJ C 367, 4.12.1997, p. 99. )) sought information on which Member States have spoken in the Council against the Commission's proposal to ban driftnets. However, the Council failed to reply on grounds of 'confidentiality'.1. I should like to ask the question about Member States' voting behaviour again. How exactly did each Member State vote in Council?The Council's answer to Question E-0893/97 ((OJ C 367, 4.12.1997, p. 56. )), published in the same Official Journal, says that measures are 'already in place, particularly those on the disclosure of votes and explanations of vote, on open debates, access by the public to statements and minutes, and on public access to Council documents in general'. In addition to my first question, I should like to know2. Why does the Council promise transparency and openness while in the same Official Journal (C 367 of 4 December 1997) refusing information on the grounds of confidentiality?3. How does the Council intend to treat its decisions in future: transparently or secretly?Answer (7 April 1998)The Council would like to inform the Honourable Member of the European Parliament that it has not yet adopted any final legislative act as regards the Commission proposal concerning a ban on drift-nets. Therefore, no vote has taken place within the Council on this matter.The provisions concerning legislative transparency in the Council (the making public of votes, explanations of votes, and statements in the Council's minutes) only apply at the final adoption stage of legislative acts by the Council. This stage has not as yet been reached and accordingly the provisions in question do not apply.Other transparency measures concerning access to specific Council documents are regulated by Council Decision 93/731/EC on public access to Council documents ((OJ L 340, 31.12.93, p. 43. )).
