COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1915/1999

of 7 September 1999

determining the percentage of quantities covered by applications for export licences for pigmeat
which may be accepted

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1370/95 of
16 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for implementing the
system of export licences in the pigmeat sector (1), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1719/98 (2), and in particular
Article 3(4) thereof,

(1) Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1370/95 provides for
specific measures where applications for export licences
concern quantities and/or expenditure which exceed the
normal trade patterns or where there is a risk that they
will be exceeded, taking account of the limit referred to
in Article 13(11) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/
75 (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC)
No 3290/94 (4), and/ or the corresponding expenditure
during the period in question;

(2) Whereas uncertainty is a feature of the market in certain
pigmeat products; whereas the impending adjustment of
the refunds applicable to those products has led to the

submission of applications for export licences for export
licences for speculative ends; whereas there is a risk that
the issue of licences for the quantities applied for from
30 August to 3 September and from 6 to 7 September
1999 may lead to an overrun in the quantities of the
products concerned normally disposed of by way of
covering the products
trade; whereas
concerned,

applications

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

submitted for export licences for pigmeat pursuant to Regula-
tion (EC) No 1370/95 in respect of categories 1 and 2 of
Annex I to that Regulation which should have been issued
from 8 September and from 15 September 1999.

The Commission is not aware of the use of precursors of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in processed
foodstuffs.

Council Directive 96/22/EC of 29 April 1996, concerning the prohibition on the use in stockfarming of
certain substances having a hormonal or thyrostatic action and of β-agonists, and repealing Directives 81/
602/EEC, 88/146/EEC and 88/299/EEC (2) prohibits the administering to a farm or aquaculture animal, by
any means whatsoever, of substances having androgenic action, such as nandrolone.
If residues of
nandrolone are found in foodstuffs, the foodstuffs must be removed immediately from the market and
destroyed.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1612/99

by Hanja Maij-Weggen (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(15 September 1999)

Subject: Child labour

Can the Commission state which European countries have still not ratified the ILO Convention on
protection against extreme forms of child labour?

Can it state which ACP countries have still not done so?

What action will it take to speed up the ratification process?

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(27 October 1999)

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention concerning the prohibition and immediate action
for the elimination of the worst forms of child labour (Convention 182) has to date been ratified by one
Member State of the ILO, namely the Republic of Seychelles. It should be noted that the Convention has
not come into force yet. This will occur only twelve months after the Director-General of the ILO has
registered the first
two ratifications. The Commission, for its part, strongly supports the principles
underlying the Convention and hopes for widespread ratification.

The Commission is continuing to fund several projects throughout the world, particularly in developing
countries, that are aimed at improving children(cid:146)s lot. These projects involve supporting measures geared to
providing legal protection, enabling children to go back to school or making society aware of children(cid:146)s
rights. Since 1997, projects of this kind have been financed in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Togo,
Nepal and Ghana.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1617/99

by Gary Titley (PSE) to the Commission

(7 September 1999)

Subject: The forthcoming Directive on Metrology

I understand that the Commission is currently preparing a new directive on metrology.

France is the only EU Member State that insists that all measuring instruments, such as distance measurers,
must be approved by a national authority,
in this case the Directions rØgionales de l(cid:146)industrie, de la
recherche et de l(cid:146)environnement (DRIRE). To gain approval, companies need an office and warehouse in
France which DRIRE inspectors can visit in order to inspect each instrument individually.

(input), the number of personnel employed by TAOs does not constitute a contractual criterion and is
therefore not known by the Commission. A new report updating the data on TAOs is being finalised and
will be submitted to the budgetary authority in the near future.

At present, the Community rebuilding effort in Kosovo is coordinated by a task force of the Commission,
of approximately 35 persons, comprised mainly of officials of the Commission and local agents (statutory
personnel). It will be replaced in the future by a Kosovo rebuilding agency.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1618/99

by Raffaele Costa (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(7 September 1999)

Subject: MED Programmes

The resolution on the Court of Auditors Special report No 1/96 on the MED programmes (submitted
pursuant to Article 188C, paragraph 4, indent 2 of the EC Treaty) together with the Commission(cid:146)s replies
refers to serious irregularities and significant shortcomings in the management of the financial pro-
grammes (1992-1995).

The same resolution notes that the funding proposals for MED-Urbs (29 July 1992), MED-Campus
(14 October 1992, MED-Invest (14 December 1992) and MED-Media (18 May 1993) involved spending
of ECU 78 million.

Will the Commission provide a full and detailed list of all public and private bodies, undertakings,
companies, firms, individuals and organisations in Member States and other countries which have received
sums under the abovementioned programmes up to a total of ECU 78 million, giving details of the exact
amounts concerned?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(8 October 1999)

The ECU 78 million referred to in the Parliament(cid:146)s resolution of July 1996 were spent on financing
decentralised cooperation networks for the period 1992-1995, and technical assistance to them (ARTM
(agency for Trans-Mediterranean networks) (cid:129) Ismeri Europa (cid:129) FRERE Consultants (cid:129) the Council of
European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) (cid:129) and the Television trust for the environment (TVE)).

Since the resolution, the Commission has regularly kept the Committee on Budgetary Control informed of
follow-ups to the Court of Auditors(cid:146) report, and the progress of recovery orders.

The Commission has sent additional information on the financing decisions for the various networks for
the period 1992-1995 directly to the Honourable Member and to the Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat.
