Resolution on the earthquake in Colombia

The European Parliament,

A.  shocked by reports of the effects of the earthquake in Colombia on 25 January 1999, which is reported
to  be  the  worst  earthquake  in  Colombia  this  century  and  to  have  caused  more  than  one  thousand
deaths with many others injured, most of whom are people in the poorest communities in the region,

B.  concerned at the difficulties apparently experienced by the Colombian army, despite the dispatch of
thousands of troops, in preventing the outbreak of widespread looting in the city of Armenia, where
aid workers have come under fire from looters and public disorder is hampering relief efforts,

C.  perturbed at the possibility that corruption may prevent international aid from reaching its intended

recipients in full,

D.  noting with satisfaction the Commission’s prompt release of EUR 1,5 million, including EUR 500 000
of unspent funds from last year, and its constructive cooperation with the Red Cross, Oxfam and other
NGOs involved in the area,

Extends  its  condolences  to  the  victims,  to  the  families  of  the  dead  and  to  the  entire  Colombian

1.
people;

2.
Calls  upon  the  Commission  and  the  governments  of  the  Member  States,  in  cooperation  with  the
relevant NGOs, to do their utmost in order to deal with this crisis and to implement a special development
programme designed to meet medium- and long-term needs in the earthquake area;

Supports President Pastrana’s public commitment to combat corruption and appeals to him to take

3.
all the necessary steps to ensure that relief aid reaches those for whom it is intended;

Appeals further to President Pastrana and the Colombian Government to take firm steps to restore

4.
public order in the areas affected by the disaster, while fully respecting human rights;

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the Colombian

5.
Government.

In the light of these events, does the Commission consider that the Commission’s information office in Sweden
is operating satisfactorily?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-0075/99 and P-0076/99
given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission

(25 February 1999)

As the Honourable Member states, the President of the Commission wrote personally to Mr Göran Persson,
Prime Minister of Sweden. The President had no intention of questioning the right of the Heads of State and or
Government to comment on information relating to the operation of the Commission as published in the
press. He simply wished to give his colleague his views on the statements reported to him. He was at pains to
point out that his comments assumed that the statement attributed to the Prime Minister had been correctly
interpreted. The Swedish Prime Minister subsequently clarified matters in a letter to the President.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0197/99

by Anita Pollack (PSE) to the Commission

(11 February 1999)

Subject: Production of foie gras

What action is the Commission proposing to take with a view to stopping the cruel force-feeding of birds for
the production of foie gras following the condemnatory report of the Committee of EU Animal Welfare
Experts?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-0079/99 and E-0197/99
given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(18 March 1999)

The reason for the preparation of the scientific report on the production of foie-gras, was the discussion in the
Council of Europe of recommendations on welfare of domestic ducks, and on muscovy ducks or hybrids of
muscovy ducks, and on domestic geese in the context of the Convention for the protection of animals kept for
farming purposes (to which the Community is a contracting party).

During 1998, the parties to the Convention agreed to wait for the Commission’s scientific report before
finalizing the recommendations on domestic ducks, muscovy ducks and geese (including ‘foie-gras’ produc-
tion). The first discussion on this subject took place during the meeting of the bureau of the Council of Europe
standing committee on 22 February 1999 to prepare all the documents for the plenary session planned for the
last week of June 1999.
