Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission

(19 June 1998)

It is the obligation of the Member States to ensure that their legislation is in conformity with the provisions of
Community law in general. Provided that Council Directive 93/104/EC of 23 November 1993 concerning certain
aspects of the organization of working time, the so-called working time directive (1) is correctly implemented, it
is for the national authorities to monitor and enforce the national measures implementing the Directive.

The  Commission  is  currently  undertaking  a  thorough  examination  of  the  national  measures  with  a  view  to
presenting a report on the implementation of this directive.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1669/98

by Monica Baldi (PPE) to the Council

(2 June 1998)

Subject: Reintroduction of Latin into the school curriculum

After  a  long  period  in  which  it  was  no  longer  taught  in  many  schools,  Latin  is  coming  back  into  vogue,
particularly  in  a  number  of  European  countries › such  as  Germany,  Belgium,  Finland  and  Norway-  now
experiencing a revival of interest in the language that, for centuries, was the vehicle of European culture.

In  Italy  the  Minister  of  Education,  seeking  to  redefine  the  curriculum  taught  to  children  up  to  the  end  of
compulsory education, has spoken of a Europe that includes the aspect of Latin culture.

What could the Council do to ensure that, in all the countries of the European Union, Latin is included on the
curriculum taught to children up to the end of compulsory schooling, as many European intellectuals have been
demanding for so long?
