WRITTEN QUESTION E-0793/99

by Gianni Tamino (V) to the Commission

(6 April 1999)

Subject: Freedom of treatment

Ketha Berardi is a 10 year old girl with leukemia whose parents have decided no longer to subject her to
chemotherapy because of the serious side-effects it has; they intend to resort to the treatment offered by
Professor Di Bella.

At the request of the doctors treating her, however, juvenile court judges have ruled that the chemotherapy
must continue and have threatened to deprive them of their parental authority.

Leaving aside any medico-scientific assessment of chemotherapy and the treatment offered by Professor
Di Bella, does the Commission not think that the behaviour of the Italian doctors and judges conflicts with the
principle of freedom of treatment which should be one of the rights of European citizens as mentioned by
Parliament in recital C of its resolution A4-0075/97 (1) on the status of non-conventional medicine?

(1) OJ C 182, 16.6.1997, p. 67.

Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission

(5 May 1999)

The Commission has no jurisdiction to deal with the question asked, which is a matter solely for the national
authorities concerned.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0957/99

by Willy De Clercq (ELDR) to the Commission

(13 April 1999)

Subject: Free movement of workers

Is the Commission aware that a number of Italian universities still do not respect free movement of workers as
required by the Treaty establishing the European Community?

Is the Commission aware that since 1989 EU citizens have been complaining about the discriminatory
practices at Italian universities, whereby foreign teachers are offered only one-year contracts, which is not the
case for Italian teachers?

Is the Commission aware of the Allué and Coonan judgment of 2 August 1993 in which the Court of Justice
ruled that such practices contravened Article 48(2) of the Treaty?

Is the Commission aware that these violations of a general principle laid down in the EC Treaty have still not
ceased?

Will the Commission remedy the situation? If so, how? If not, why not?

lettori at Italian universities (in its resolution of 13 July 1995 and opinions of 15 April 1996 and 3 July 1996).

Does the Commission not consider that such discrimination violates the basic rules and principles of the
European Union?

Would the Commission inform me of its position on this matter? Is it ready to take measures against the Italian
authorities in order quickly to eliminate this discrimination?

(1999/C 325/198)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0978/99

by Paul Rübig (PPE) to the Commission

(15 April 1999)

Subject: Discrimination against foreign-language lecturers at Italian universities

Under Article 48 of the EC Treaty, Union citizens are entitled to work, settle or move freely within the borders
of the European Union without being discriminated against on grounds of nationality.

Contrary to this fundamental right, there have been loud complaints about alleged discrimination against
foreign-language lecturers at Italian universities. Despite a judgment by the European Court of Justice on
2 August 1993, and a resolution adopted by Parliament on 13 July 1995, applicants for such posts are still
being unjustifiably prevented from exercising their right freely to choose their employment.

1.

Is the Commission aware of these incidents?

How does it propose to ensure that EU lecturers in Italy are able to exercise fundamental rights which are

2.
recognised throughout the European Union, and to prevent illegal discrimination?

by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Commission

Subject: Foreign language lectors in Italy

What is the Commission’s view of the ongoing claims of discrimination made by foreign language assistants
against the Italian authorities?

Is the Commission satisfied that the judgments handed down by the ECJ are being respected in full by the
Italian authorities?

(1999/C 325/200)

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1161/99

by Winifred Ewing (ARE) to the Commission

(27 April 1999)

Subject: Europe that puts citizens first

What action has been taken to guarantee the fundamental Community right of establishment for lecturers
from other Member States who wish to exercise that right in Italian universities?

Can the Commission confirm what action it has taken to ensure, in the exercise of the right of establishment,
that lecturers from other Member States are not discriminated against in relation to employment conditions
relative to lecturers of Italian nationality?

Can the Commission confirm the status of infringement proceedings being brought against Italy concerning
this matter?
