Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission

(24 February 1999)

The standing working group on the safe transport of radioactive material, comprises experts from the Member
States designated by their safety and competent authorities, but who speak on their own behalf and express
their views in close confidence.

Furthermore, the work undertaken by the group consists only of exchanges of views and is of a purely advisory
and preparatory nature for the exercise of the Commission powers.

Therefore, the minutes of the meetings of the standing working group were only made available to the
members of the group and to the Commission services concerned.

After consultation of the standing working group the Commission is now able to indicate that, henceforth,
these minutes will also be available to the Committee on Research, Technological development and Energy of
the Parliament.

Commission has also granted in excess of 24 millions euro for public health, sanitation and emergency
nutritional support over the same period.

The Commission is presently reflecting on the modalities of a possible food aid and agricultural rehabilitation
programme for DPRK in 1999. No final decision has yet been taken. Since the shortages are mainly structural
(the by-product of DPRK’s agricultural and wider economic policies), the Commission therefore takes the view
that in order to be efficient and sustainable its assistance will need to be accompanied by policy adaptations
from the DPRK authorities. These should aim to modernise agricultural practices and start to implement more
far-reaching market-oriented initiatives.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3485/98

by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission

(25 November 1998)

Subject: Recruitment of staff at the European Central Bank

Will the Commission say how many officials of Greek nationality are employed at the European Central Bank,
exactly what posts they occupy and what is the total number of officials employed at this new organisation
(broken down by nationality), since it is self-evident that recruitment must be transparent and based on
objective criteria and fully respect the principle of the equitable and proportionate representation of all EU
Member States?

Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission

(8 February 1999)

The Commission has no jurisdiction to deal with the Honourable Member’s question, which should be
addressed to the institution concerned.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3486/98

by Robin Teverson (ELDR) to the Commission

(25 November 1998)

Subject: Meat production standards

What proposals does the Commission have to ensure that the United Kingdom’s standards for meat
production are imposed on meat imported from outside the European Union?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(11 January 1999)

Standards for meat production were harmonised in the Community by Council Directive 91/497/EEC of
29 July 1991 amending and consolidating Directive 64/433/EEC on health problems affecting intra-
Community trade in fresh meat to extend it to the production and marketing of fresh meat (1).

Community requirements for imports of fresh meat from third countries were laid down in Council Directive
72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine
animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (2). This Directive requires imports of meat to comply
with Community requirements.
