Europe and the Mediterranean basin associated with the audiovisual news company ITN. The European Union
has no capital stake in it.

In 1998,
understanding with this channel for a period three years. This agreement provides for the co-production
and broadcasting of specific information programmes, intended for the general public, on various aspects of
European current affairs. An annual agreement draws up the precise list of scheduled actions and their funding
conditions. Apart from these co-productions the Commission does not accept any individual responsibility for
this channel, regarding either its editorial policy or its management.

The subject raised by the Honourable Member has not been dealt with in co-productions which are covered by
the contract with Euronews. Therefore, the Commission, which has no editorial power over an independent
television channel, considers that it has no right to intervene with the channel to influence the way it presents
information.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3571/98

by Jan Andersson (PSE) to the Commission

(1 December 1998)

Subject: EU aid for greyhound breeders

A number of newspaper articles have highlighted the awful treatment of greyhounds, and there is information
to suggest that dogs no longer regarded as fit for racing are subjected to considerable cruelty. It has come to my
notice that greyhound breeders can receive EU aid under agricultural support schemes.

Is the Commission aware of the information which suggests that greyhounds are subjected to cruel treatment
and, if so, what steps will it take regarding the possibilities for granting EU aid to greyhound breeders in future?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(15 January 1999)

The Commission is aware of a number of press articles alleging ill-treatment of racing greyhounds.

No Community support is now available for the greyhound rearing enterprise in the Community.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3547/98by Hartmut Nassauer (PPE) to the Commission(1 December 1998)Subject: Eurostat publication on the population of European countries by country of birthIn its publication "Statistics in focus - Population and social conditions" (Volume 10, 1998), Eurostat provides data on the population of selected European countries by country of birth. The survey gives details of the number of inhabitants born outside the EU, the country of origin of immigrants, figures for the recruitment of labour and the age of foreign-born inhabitants. The Member States included are Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Sweden but not Germany.Why does the Statistical Office conduct surveys of the population structure in EU Member States that exclude the Member State with the largest population and what contribution does a survey that gives no details of foreigners or the foreign-born population in Germany make to knowledge of the Community?Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission(5 February 1999)Following regular requests to the Commission for data on population by country of birth, Member States were asked in 1996 to provide the relevant information to Eurostat. Several Member States, including Germany, could not provide all the information requested, but given the interest of the public it was considered useful to publish the available information in "Statistics in Focus" and in the Eurostat database "New Cronos." No totals for the whole Community are calculated, given the lack of information from Germany and other Member States. When more information becomes available from Member States (for example after a census) it will be put in the database.
