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

(20 April 1999)

Subject: Foreign language lectors in Italy

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?

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1125/99 by Leonie van BLADEL Threatening changes in the political climate in Slovakia  


Official Journal C 370 , 21/12/1999 P. 0168 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1125/99by Leonie van Bladel (UPE) to the Commission(27 April 1999)Subject: Threatening changes in the political climate in SlovakiaThe political climate in the Republic of Slovakia has been subject to change since the new government took office. The board of the Slovak journalists association, which sympathises with the HZDS of the former Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar, reports that young journalists who do not share the views of the new coalition are finding it difficult to work. Apart from public criticism of journalists, ostracism at work and blocks on career development have already been noted in the months since the new coalition has been governing the country. In addition the journalists association has complained that virtually no attention has been paid at European level to the murder of Ján Ducký, the Minister for European Affairs in the previous cabinet, which has been heavily criticised by the current coalition. The press organisation points to a similarity with a pattern to be seen in the political life of Balkan states whereby hate campaigns are followed by murder.1. Is the Commission prepared to lodge protests with the present government of Slovakia concerning the pressure being placed on members of the press unacceptable to it?2. Is the Commission prepared, in the interest of democratic progress in Slovakia, to urge the present government of that country to halt the campaigns against politicians from previous governments and will it ask whether a judicial inquiry has been started into the murder of Ján Ducký?Answer given by Mr van den Broek on behalf of the Commission(7 May 1999)1. The furtherance of the independence of the media features amongst the accession partnership medium-term priorities for Slovakia. The Commission is monitoring progress in this area through the Europe agreement institutions and the regular reports. Should clear violations of media independence be detected, the Commission would raise them at the appropriate level. The Commission has no knowledge of any substantiated indications of discriminatory actions against journalists in Slovakia since the present Slovak government came into power in autumn 1998.2. The Commission is aware of a number of criminal cases brought against political figures in compliance with Slovak law. In this context the Slovak parliament lifted the immunity of two people linked to the previous government. The Commission, however, has no evidence of any campaign to discredit politicians of the previous government. Concerning the murder of Mr Ducky, a criminal investigation has been undertaken and an arrest made.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1139/99

by Arthur Newens (PSE) to the Commission

(27 April 1999)

Subject: Students from China

Will the Commission look at the possibility of increasing the number of scholarships and the like available
to students from China until it is close to the number currently offered by the United States?

Answer given by Sir Leon Brittan on behalf of the Commission

(7 May 1999)

President Santer announced during his visit to China at the beginning of November 1998 the intention of
the Commission to prepare a new and comprehensive programme on scholarships for China. The
programme, called Scholarships 2000, will allow 2000 Chinese to benefit from the support of the
Community to study or carry out research in Europe.

The programme is currently under preparation (experts visiting China, negotiation with the Chinese
authorities, submission of the proposal to the committee of the Member States), in order to be operational
in the year 2000.

The Commission also believes that to encourage a significant increase in academic cooperation between
the Community and China structural cooperation must be targeted which prepares the teaching and
learning communities of both partners
