WRITTEN QUESTION E-0045/99

by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE) to the Commission

Subject: Telemedicine in the public health sector in Greece

(22 January 1999)

The introduction of data-processing in public health has been long delayed in Greece: so far only 15 general
hospitals out of the 143 public hospitals and 173 rural centres in Greece are equipped with computers. These
computers were secured under the IMPs, but have not been upgraded since then and are used chiefly as word
processors. Another consequence of their non-compatibility with up-to-date telecommunications techno-
logies is the total absence of telemedicine in the Greek public health sector. However, the Operational
Programme for Health under the second CSF provides for 24 general hospitals to be equipped with advanced
communications systems, with pilot applications in seven regions of the country.

Will the Commission say:

1. How is the programme to install this technology in the seven pilot regions and the other 17 general

hospitals included in this programme progressing?

2. Given its involvement in programme funding, how long does it believe it will take to introduce

telemedicine applications in Greece?

Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission

(15 February 1999)

The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its findings
as soon as possible.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0063/99

by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Commission

(27 January 1999)

Subject: European holiday resorts

Holiday resorts have features which set them apart,
in that they must provide for the upkeep of the
infrastructure which they need in periods in which the influx of tourists is high, yet which is superfluous to
their everyday requirements for the remainder of the year.

For that reason, national, regional and local authorities alike are introducing provisions recognising the
specific nature of holiday resorts into the legislation which regulates the tourist industry.

Will the Commission say to what extent the Community provisions affecting the tourist industry can
assimilate the distinction already drawn in national legislation in various Member States, as a means of
assisting those municipalities confronted with a large influx of tourists at certain times of the year?

Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission

(24 February 1999)

According to the principle of subsidiarity, the Commission does not consider appropriate to harmonise at the
Community level the provisions introduced by national, regional and local administrations regulating the
activity of tourist resorts.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 46/99 by Konstantinos HATZIDAKIS Problem of computer compatibility in secondary education in Greece  


Official Journal C 325 , 12/11/1999 P. 0060 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0046/99by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE) to the Commission(22 January 1999)Subject: Problem of computer compatibility in secondary education in GreeceBy the end of 1996 1 187 of the 1 777 secondary schools in Greece had been equipped with computers for educational purposes. However, the vast majority of these computers, which have not been upgraded, are second and third-generation computers (286 and 386, respectively) and cannot therefore use Windows or modern telecommunications applications based on this particular programme.Will the Commission say:1. What information does it have about the existing infrastructure in secondary education in Greece as regards data-processing and the telecommunications potential of this infrastructure?2. What is the period of implementation of the programme for the introduction of data-processing in secondary education (under the EPEAEK - Greek Operational Programme "Education and Initial Vocational Training"), and will it say in particular whether pupils' ability to use up-to-date telecommunications applications is compatible with the original objectives of the Operational Programme?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission(12 March 1999)The structural funds support the introduction and use of information technology in secondary education schools in Greece through the operational programme "Education and initial training". The operation is implemented progressively on the basis of an integrated plan, which includes actions referring to the purchase of hardware and standard software; the establishment of computer laboratories, mainly for the integrated lyceums; the development or adaptation of educational software; the training of teachers and students; and the link to Internet and/or other networks. The Greek authorities have defined the specifications of the system so as to allow for the use of modern telecommunications applications.Despite the considerable resources allocated to the introduction of information technology into secondary schools, it will not be possible to equip all schools with computer facilities within the current programming period (1994-1999). The effort should continue in the next Community support framework.For further details, the Commission would refer the Honourable Member to the Greek ministry of Education.
