WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2761/98 by Xaver MAYER to the Commission. Breeding game on farms (SUPPLEMENTARY ANSWER)  


Official Journal C 207 , 21/07/1999 P. 0012 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-2761/98by Xaver Mayer (PPE) to the Commission(3 September 1998)Subject: Breeding game on farmsBreeding game has become a major commercial activity in EU agriculture. It often enables land to be used where there is no alternative use for it. Against a background of different production processes in the EU and the Community's low level of self-sufficiency, farmers who breed game face serious problems due primarily to cheap imports from non-EU countries and also to the fact that the authorization and veterinary legislation is not harmonized.The Commission is requested to answer the following questions:1. Does the Commission believe that adequate account is taken of the protection of animals in the legislation on the breeding of game on farms in Europe? Is it aware of differences among the various Member States that distort competition? Is it necessary, in the Commission's view, to require imports from third countries to satisfy certain production and breeding conditions?2. Does the Commission believe that the designation "meat of game bred on farms" should be dependent on the satisfaction of certain breeding and production conditions so that a distinction is made between such products and the meat of agricultural livestock?3. Does the Commission believe that the use of genetic engineering, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, the keeping of animals in sheds and the amputation of antlers should be prohibited in the breeding of game on farms throughout Europe and in the case of imports from third countries?4. Does the Commission believe that imported meat of game bred on farms in third countries should be subject to the tariff on the meat of agricultural livestock rather than the tariff on game?5. Is the Commission aware that John's disease has occurred in stocks of game in New Zealand, Australia and other overseas countries?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission(30 September 1998)The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its findings as soon as possible.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2761/98

by Xaver Mayer (PPE) to the Commission

(3 September 1998)

Subject: Breeding game on farms

Breeding game has become a major commercial activity in EU agriculture. It often enables land to be used where
there is no alternative use for it. Against a background of different production processes in the EU and the
Community(cid:146)s low level of self-sufficiency, farmers who breed game face serious problems due primarily to
cheap imports from non-EU countries and also to the fact that the authorization and veterinary legislation is not
harmonized.

The Commission is requested to answer the following questions:

1. Does the Commission believe that adequate account is taken of the protection of animals in the legislation on
the breeding of game on farms in Europe? Is it aware of differences among the various Member States that
distort competition? Is it necessary, in the Commission(cid:146)s view, to require imports from third countries to
satisfy certain production and breeding conditions?

2. Does the Commission believe that the designation (cid:145)meat of game bred on farms(cid:146) should be dependent on the
satisfaction of certain breeding and production conditions so that a distinction is made between such products
and the meat of agricultural livestock?

3. Does the Commission believe that the use of genetic engineering, artificial insemination, embryo transfer,
the keeping of animals in sheds and the amputation of antlers should be prohibited in the breeding of game on
farms throughout Europe and in the case of imports from third countries?

4. Does the Commission believe that imported meat of game bred on farms in third countries should be subject

to the tariff on the meat of agricultural livestock rather than the tariff on game?

5.

Is the Commission aware that John(cid:146)s disease has occurred in stocks of game in New Zealand, Australia and
other overseas countries?

C 118/131

The Council is also in contact with the Southern African Development Community Presidency (i.e. South
Africa), regarding specific possibilities for EU support (including possible role for the EU Special Envoy
Mr Ajello) for a political process aimed at finding a peaceful, negotiated solution.

On the question of democratisation in the DRC,
the EU Common Position on support for the
democratisation process enables the Union to offer assistance as soon as the necessary conditions are
at hand. In this regard, while the recent announcement that elections will take place in 1999 as proposed is
to be welcomed, the Union is concerned that no arbitrary conditions be attached to the prerogative of all
the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to exercise their democratic rights.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2742/98

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(3 September 1998)

Subject: Car prices in the UK

Car prices in the UK are known to be the highest in Europe. Can the Commission clarify its views on this
in relation to Article 30 and indicate what steps it is taking to ensure that car prices in the UK become
competitive with the rest of Europe?

Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission

(28 October 1998)

On the subject of car prices in the United Kingdom, the Commission would refer the Honourable Member
to its answer to Written Question E-2577/98 by Mrs Anita Pollack (1). The Commission sees no
relationship between high car prices in the United Kingdom and Article 30 of the EC Treaty.

The Commission is currently investigating a complaint regarding the compatibility with Articles 30 and 36
of the EC Treaty of the provisions dealing with the approval of single vehicles contained in the Motor
Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 1996 as amended by the Motor Vehicles (Approval) (Amendment)
Regulations 1998.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2743/98

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(3 September 1998)

Subject: Printing of the euro

Transporting and guarding currency is a notoriously dangerous and hazardous business, as the recent
industrial action over violence against security guards in Belgium demonstrated.

Given these security dangers in a relatively peaceful country such as Belgium, as well as the very high
costs of transporting currency, does the Commission agree that the euro should be printed only within the
borders of the European Union and, if so, what plans has it made, or will it be making, to ensure that this
occurs?
