as

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1137/98 of
29 May 1998 concerning a protective measure applicable
to imports of garlic from China (3), and in particular
Article 1(3) thereof,

Whereas pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No
1859/93 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/
94 (5), the release for free circulation in the Community of
garlic imported from third countries is subject to presen-
tation of an import licence;

Whereas Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1137/98,
restricts the issue of import licences for garlic originating
in China to a maximum monthly quantity in the case of
applications lodged from 1 June 1998 to 31 May 1999;

Whereas, given the criteria laid down in Article 1(2) of
that Regulation and the import licences already issued,
the quantity applied for since 1 April 1999 is in excess of

the maximum monthly quantity given in the Annex to
that Regulation for the month of April 1999; whereas it is
therefore necessary to determine to what extent import
licences may be issued in response to these applications;
whereas the issue of licences in response to applications
lodged after 6 April 1999 and before 6 May 1999 should
be refused,

For the abovementioned products applications for import
licences lodged after 6 April 1999 and before 6 May 1999

In view of the above, would the Commission provide the following information:

1. Has the Commission been informed of this alarming state of affairs by the Portuguese Government or

the Madeira Regional Government?

2.

Is there any budgetary provision or specific programme within the common fisheries policy which
could be used to compensate for the drastic loss of income by the fishing communities in question
and alleviate the serious situation effecting entire families in Caniçal and Machico? If so, has the
Madeira Regional Government and/or the Portuguese Government already asked the Commission to
implement such provisions or programmes?

3.

Is there any possibility outside the common fisheries policy of making funding available in order to
remedy the situation promptly and, if so, what is it?

Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission

(3 May 1999)

The available data on the general state of tuna stocks in the Atlantic do not indicate a collapse in stocks.
However, the Commission is seeking more precise data on the stock situation in the Madeira zone.

1. Without checking with the Portuguese authorities, the Commission is not aware that they informed it
of this state of affairs.

The common fisheries policy does not have a specific programme or budget facility to compensate

2.
for possible losses of income resulting from the situation described.

The Commission does not know of any way that funding could be provided outside the CFP to

3.
compensate promptly for possible losses of income.

The Commission also confirms that it has not been informed of particular difficulties in relation to the
recognition of diplomas for sports instructors in Italy. No complaint has been lodged in this area. Any
complaints could refer to Italy’s failure to transpose the measure or to poor application of the national
transposition measures, i.e. the legislative decree of 2 May 1994.

Lastly # and this has been pointed out before # the Commission cannot impose on Italy specific measures for
regulating the profession. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the Member States are sovereign as
regards regulations on professions. This means that the Commission has no powers to act with regard to how
Italy regulates the profession of sports instructors in its own country. Italy can also choose not to regulate a
profession. Naturally, the Italian authorities are required to provide mechanisms for the recognition of
diplomas and to abolish any measure that might be considered discriminatory. As has already been pointed
out, however, there do not seem to be any particular problems in this respect.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0905/99

by Phillip Whitehead (PSE) to the Commission

(8 April 1999)

Subject: EU fire safety

Will the Commission list the number of responses received from each EU Member State to the questionnaire
sent out by the French company CETEN-APAVE relating to the implementation of the 1986 EU recommenda-
tions on fire safety? What action was taken against the countries that failed to respond to the study?

Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission

(29 April 1999)

In the light of the interest that the Honourable Member has shown on several occasions in the 1996 study on
fire safety in hotels, and given the amount of detail that he has requested on both the data and the
methodology used, the Commission is sending him a copy of this study directly.

The firm that carried out the study sent the approximately 20 000 questionnaires to hotel managers
throughout Europe on a voluntary basis in order to supplement the analysis of the regulations applicable in
each Member State. Consequently, the Commission had no grounds for taking action against Member States if
the information sent did not meet expectations.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0994/99

by Patricia McKenna (V) to the Commission

(20 April 1999)

Subject: Responsibility for Fire Safety in the European Commission

Will the Commission please give full and precise details of which department(s) is/are responsible for fire safety
in the European Union.

If this is more than one, would it please explain why such an important area of safety is not only poorly
legislated for at a European level, but also managed by the Commission in such an apparently unconcerned
and illogical manner, as if the lives of Europe’s citizens are of scant importance?
