The Regulation was adopted unanimously by the Member States and received the assent of the
3.
European Parliament. As explained above, the Italian proposal was considered inadmissible not because of
the new criteria as such but rather because it was not in compliance with Article 4(4) of the Regulation.

4.

The criteria laid down in Article 4(5) and (6) of the Regulation do not penalise any Member State.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2171/99

by John McCartin (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(29 November 1999)

Subject: Interception of telecommunications by British Intelligence Services

In the light of reports that the British Intelligence Services are intercepting all telecommunications to and
from Ireland, will the Commission seek to establish what the implications of this action are for the
political cohesion of the Union?

Further, what are the implications for the right of commercial undertakings to engage freely in commu-
nicating internationally and within the EU, and what are the implications for individual citizens engaged in
personal or commercially sensitive communications?

Can the Commission ask the British authorities if the reports are actually true and, if so, if the British are
spying on all other Member States of the EU in a similar way?

Could the Commission also state whether such activities are in violation of any EU law?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(27 January 2000)

The Commission has no knowledge of the matters to which the Honourable Member refers.

In any event, the Commission takes the view that it has no jurisdiction to deal with the question asked,
which is a matter solely for the national authorities concerned.

The Commission nonetheless remains vigilant in defence of Community interests, and condemns any and
all threats to the integrity of communications within or exchanged between institutions, commercial
enterprises or by individual citizens engaged in communicating internationally and within the Union.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2175/99

by Umberto Bossi (TDI) to the Commission

(29 November 1999)

Subject: Marking of PDO and PGI products

Several bodies licensed by the Italian Ministry of Agricultural and Forestry Resources to certify PDO
products and to append the PDO identifying stamp on those products use the services of the respective
Consorzi di tutela (organisations for the protection of individual products) in the capacity of outside
bodies. Apparently, the equipment for marking the products (branding or other methods) to show that
they have been certified to be PDO is not therefore in the possession of the body authorised to certify such

by Salvador JovØ Peres (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

Subject: Legislative acts which may affect competition

(29 November 1999)

What would the Commission(cid:146)s opinion be of a situation where a regulation granted a tariff reduction on
the raw materials used by only one firm in a certain sector, without clear justification?

Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission

(6 December 1999)

It is not Commission policy to answer hypothetical questions.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2187/99

by Christos Folias (PPE-DE) and Ioannis Mar(cid:237)nos (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Treaty of Amsterdam and sport

(29 November 1999)

Although the social significance of sport was recognised, it was effectively effectively left outside the scope
of the Treaty. Declaration No 29 annexed to the Final Act of the Amsterdam Treaty does not allow the
Community to take any action in the field of sport.

In the light of the social dimension of sport (cid:129) both professional and amateur (cid:129) particularly in forging
identity, bringing people together and promoting the Olympic ideals, and of its economic dimension in the
creation of new jobs.

Will the Commission say:

1. whether it considers that the Community should take action to encourage cooperation between
Member States or cooperation with third countries, and to complement the Member States(cid:146) measures,
as is the case with cultural affairs, for example? Is it aware of any practical results that have come out
of the above declaration to date?

2.

If so, will it take the opportunity of the forthcoming Intergovernmental Conference to propose that
sport be incorporated into the new Treaty with the introduction of a relevant chapter?

3. Does it have the necessary structure available to implement a possible Community sports policy?
