WRITTEN QUESTION E-2295/98

by John McCartin (PPE) to the Commission

(22 July 1998)

Subject: EU beef exports to third countries

Can the Commission provide figures to show the total amount of beef exported from the EU to third countries
over the last three years and state what was the average amount of export refunds paid per kg?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(3 September 1998)

Exports of beef during the last three years were 1 199 255 tonnes carcase weight in 1995, 1 103 951 tonnes in
1996 and 1 050 034 tonnes in 1997.

Export refunds for beef and live animals are fixed at least every three months and published in the Official
journal. The export refund paid on beef is differentiated and the rate varies according to destination. The
present refund level paid for live animals other than pure-bred breeding animals to the destinations with the
highest refunds are ECU 52,00 per 100 kilogramme live weight for male cattle, while for fresh meat of male
adult bovine animals the refund rate is ECU 110,50 per 100 kilogramme carcase weight. For fresh meat of
male adult bovine animals the refund rate has varied between ECU 110,50 per 100 kilogramme to ECU 169,00
per 100 kilogramme during the last three years.

Subject: Measures to prevent depopulation

(22 July 1998)

In the EU there are regions whose development is seriously threatened by depopulation. These include the EU’s
northern peripheral regions. The population becomes concentrated in the cities and conurbations, where even
greater social problems then develop.

that amount should be fixed and the security to be lodged
when submitting applications from the date of entry into
force of
this Regulation should be adjusted in con-
sequence; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No

Whereas this Regulation should enter into force imme-
diately, in view, in particular, of the timetable laid down
for the submission and processing of applications for
advances under these arrangements;

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2329/98 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Echelon network  


Official Journal C 050 , 22/02/1999 P. 0142 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2329/98by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission(22 July 1998)Subject: Echelon networkA European Parliament report (published by the STOA) indicates that an industrial espionage data network known as "ECHELON" has been developed with the participation of countries which are among the principal trade rivals of the EU (USA, Canada etc.), together with the United Kingdom. According to the report, the network does not limit itself to monitoring company activities but is also "devoting its attention" to governments and organizations of every kind.This is a particularly serious matter giving rise to legitimate queries concerning the possibility of prying into the lives of EU citizens, thereby invading their privacy.What view does the Commission take of the use of the above network for espionage purposes with its enormous implications, distorting free competition and endangering individual privacy and constituting an act of wilful provocation by the United Kingdom since its participation in a network which spies on other European Union Member States undermines any notion of solidarity?Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission(25 September 1998)The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to Written Question E-1776/98 by Mr Manisco(1).(1) See page 90.
