WRITTEN QUESTION No. 96/99 by Gerardo FERNÁNDEZ-ALBOR to the Commission. Rural libraries in Central America to foster the culture of peace  


Official Journal C 297 , 15/10/1999 P. 0144 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0096/99by Gerardo Fernández-Albor (PPE) to the Commission(27 January 1999)Subject: Rural libraries in Central America to foster the culture of peaceThe Community decision to equip 3 000 rural libraries in Central America will help to remedy the paradoxical situation in which teachers in the region are encouraging their pupils to read but have no books to give them.The Community donation was not just intended to aid teaching and adult literacy programmes. On the contrary, the above-mentioned library project constituted a further step in the political reconstruction of a region that has been hit so severely by wars and conflicts.Following the success of the Community initiative, does the Commission think that it should continue to support libraries in Central and South America to help to foster both the culture of peace and the expertise that can overcome the low literacy rates found in numerous isolated pockets in that part of the world?Answer given by Mr Marín on behalf of the Commission(8 March 1999)The Commission thanks the Honourable Member for his appreciation of its project to support rural libraries in Central America.The Commission is convinced that such projects help to improve the education of those involved and thereby contribute, in the long run, to promoting peace and democracy; it is therefore quite willing to consider proposals for further programmes of this type in Central America.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 67/99 by Esko SEPPÄNEN EU Directive on working hours  


Official Journal C 341 , 29/11/1999 P. 0044 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0067/99by Esko Seppänen (GUE/NGL) to the Commission(27 January 1999)Subject: EU Directive on working hoursAccording to information available in Finland, the EU has adopted a Directive on working hours which permits drivers of emergency vehicles to work for an uninterrupted period of more than ten hours. As the Directive evidently excludes drivers of such vehicles from the scope of industrial safety provisions, does the Commission intend to draft provisions to protect them from having to work excessively long hours?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission(9 April 1999)Council Directive 93/104/EC of 23 November 1996(1) lays down minimum safety and health requirements for the organisation of working time. This Directive applies to workers using emergency vehicles, such as fire appliances and ambulances, to the extent that characteristics peculiar to their activities do not inevitably conflict with the legislation. Article 6 of the Directive stipulates that the average working time for each seven-day period, including overtime should not exceed 48 hours. Article 3 sets a minimum daily rest period of 11 hours. It is, therefore, possible within the Directive to work more than 10 hours per day, provided the average weekly working time remains 48 hours in total. Article 4 of the Directive states that every worker is entitled to a rest break where the working day is longer than six hours.There is additional flexibility in Article 17 (2)(1)(c)(iii) which allows derogations from these minimum standards for the ambulance, fire and civil protection services by means of national legislation, collective agreements,or agreements between both sides of the industry provided that the workers concerned are afforded periods of equivalent compensatory rest. There is consequently, flexibility within the Directive, but on the basis of an established framework of social protection.(1) OJ L 307, 13.12.1993.
