Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission

(23 November 1999)

It is true that certain associations representing private Italian healthcare institutions lodged a complaint
with the Commission in January 1999. The complaint concerned an alleged breach of the rules on
competition and the freedom to supply services by Italian legislation on public and private health care.

The previous Commissioner responsible for competition policy replied by letter dated 6 April 1999 to a
letter from Mr Ferri and confirmed that the Commission would do its best to investigate the case and reach
a conclusion as soon as possible on whether or not there had been a breach.

Since the complaint alleges a breach of several provisions of Community law, various Commission
departments are having to cooperate on the case. Those with particular responsibility are the Directo-
rates-General for Competition and the Internal Market.

These departments have already begun their initial analysis of
the
information provided by the associations which lodged it. Talks were organised between Commission
representatives and the complainants(cid:146) lawyer. The Competition Directorate-General has also contacted the
Italian Competition Authority to obtain additional information. The Italian Government will also be asked

Thus, the requisite attention has been and continues to be given to this complaint. Since the investigation
has not yet been completed and neither the associations which brought the complaint nor the Italian
Government have been informed of the initial findings, it would not be appropriate for the Commission to
give its view here on whether or not the Italian legislation concerned is compatible with Community law.
The Commission will not fail to inform the Honourable Members of its final conclusions.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2018/99

by Jeffrey Titford (EDD) to the Commission

(29 October 1999)

affairs.
