Furthermore, Community law does not detract from the powers of the Member States to organise their
social security systems. In the absence of social security harmonisation at Community level, it is therefore
for the legislation of each Member State to determine the conditions concerning the right or duty to be
insured with a social security scheme and the conditions for entitlement to benefits. These principles result
from settled case-law of the Court of Justice, referred to in points 17 and 18 of the judgment given on
28 April 1998 (C-158/96).

It follows from the above that Community law cannot prevent the Netherlands (cid:129) whose social security
system is based on a condition of residence (cid:129) from making access to its legislation on exceptional medical
costs (AWBZ) subject to the condition of being resident in the Netherlands.

As regards the principle of legitimate expectations, it cannot be interpreted in such a way as to exclude
any amendment to the law which is compatible with Community law.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0782/00

by Concepci(cid:243) Ferrer (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(16 March 2000)

Subject: Information for consumers on the health benefits of certain food products

Current legislation on food consumption does not allow consumers to be informed of the specific benefits
which some foodstuffs have for their health. Modern consumers are clearly facing disinformation which
may lead to an insufficient vitamin intake.

Bearing in mind how important it is to be able to reduce the risk of suffering certain illnesses thanks to the
consumption of certain foodstuffs, and to purchase foodstuffs safely, will the Commission make any
changes to the legislation in force in relation to nutritional
information so that consumers may be
informed of the specific benefits which certain food products have for their health?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(13 April 2000)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written question E-0232/00 by
Mrs Thomas-Mauro (1).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0779/00

by Nicholas Clegg (ELDR) to the Commission

(16 March 2000)

Subject: Common commercial policy and the IGC

In the Commission(cid:146)s opinion on the Intergovernmental Conference it proposed that the provisions of the
common commercial policy, including qualified-majority voting in the Council, should be extended to
agreements on services and intellectual property.

Can the Commission confirm that the extension of the CCP will cover all services without exception,
including those in the cultural field and audiovisual services in particular?

Answer given by Mr Lamy on behalf of the Commission

(7 April 2000)

The Commission(cid:146)s opinion on the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) does not make any distinction
between types of services for the purposes of extending the provisions on commercial policy in Article
133 (ex Article 113) EC Treaty.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-0789/00

by Lord Inglewood (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(9 March 2000)

Subject: The Common Agricultural Policy

In response to a Written Question from Lord Inglewood in the House of Lords (PQ 788 written
28 February 2000) Lady Hayman, the Minister of State, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food said
that (cid:145)the Common Agricultural Policy as currently structured does not serve farmers, consumers and
taxpayers well(cid:146). Does the Commission agree?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(29 March 2000)

The common agricultural policy (CAP) is an evolving policy. It has developed ever since its introduction to
improve its contribution to the objectives laid down in Article 33 (ex Article 39) of the EC Treaty. With
the 1992 reforms and the recent Agenda 2000 reforms, fundamental re-orientations of the CAP have been
introduced in order to increase internal and external competitiveness, and the quality orientation of
agricultural production, to ensure a fair standard of living for the farming community, to better integrate
environmental goals into the CAP and to enhance rural development and the creation of complementary
or alternative income and employment opportunities.
