WRITTEN QUESTION P-1560/00

by Brigitte Wenzel-Perillo (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(11 May 2000)

Subject: Duty of the Member States to submit reports

Given the entirely unsatisfactory answer to my question concerning the Member States(cid:146) current duties to
report to the European Union (Written Question P-0222/00 (1)), could the Commission make another
attempt at providing an answer, particularly in view of the substantial reporting requirements imposed by
the conclusions of the Lisbon European Council?

Otherwise the Commission might create the impression that it has lost track of the reporting requirements
imposed on the Member States over the years.

Could the Commission break down the various reporting requirements,
provisions, policy fields and legal bases and the frequency with which reports should be submitted?

indicating the relevant legal

(1) OJ C 280 E, 3.10.2000, p. 201.

Answer given by Mr Prodi on behalf of the Commission

(13 June 2000)

As the Commission has already indicated in its answer to the Honourable Member(cid:146)s Written Question
P-0222/00 (1),
the compiling of a list of Member States(cid:146) reporting obligations, specifying the legal
provision, policy field, legal basis and required frequency, would necessitate lengthy and costly research
which the Commission does not intend to carry out at the moment, as it has other priorities. Research of
this type should in fact be carried out within all the Directorates-General or departments which are
responsible for Community legislation or programmes and monitor the Member States(cid:146) reporting obliga-
tions in their respective fields. Thus there is no question of the Commission having lost track of these
obligations.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1561/00

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(18 May 2000)

Subject: Amendment of the Bosman ruling

Can the Commission suggest, were the Bosman ruling to be amended, how it would propose to deal with
the issue of grandfather rights for registered footballers from foreign countries already in the EU? Would
the transitional period be longer than 20 years? Or would the Commission attempt to buy out such rights
and, if so, what level of compensation would be paid, and what would be the estimated total cost?
WRITTEN QUESTION P-1559/00 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission. Approval of payment of third instalment of Olympic Airways' share capital increase.

20.2.2001

Factors contributing to Greece(cid:146)s particular situation include mass movement around major urban centres at
the beginning and end of holiday periods, and the growth in the number of vehicles on the road, which is
outstripping the road improvement programme.

Other factors include user behaviour (few Greeks wear safety belts or motorcycle helmets).

(2001/C 53 E/213)

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1559/00

by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(11 May 2000)

Subject: Approval of payment of third instalment of Olympic Airways(cid:146) share capital increase

In his initial statements, referring to Olympic Airways (OA), the new Greek Transport minister noted that
the company was facing acute financial problems, that the scheduled transfer of some facilities to Spata
was at risk and that the deficit for 1999 would exceed the estimates. In accordance with the Commission
Decision on aid granted by Greece to OA (1999/332/EC (1)), the new management of OA submitted a
report on the company(cid:146)s progress in the context of the impending approval of the third instalment of its
share capital increase.

Since the Commission(cid:146)s decision on the progress of the company(cid:146)s restructuring programme is not known
and bearing in mind that the company is transferring its services to the new airport at Spata, will the
Commission say:

1. what its assessment of the company(cid:146)s operational plan is and whether the plan guarantees the

company(cid:146)s progressive development,

2. whether feasibility studies have been carried out into the sale or leasing of aircraft by 31 December

2000 and whether the company can make use of government guarantees, and

3. what its assessment of the company(cid:146)s financial situation is?

(1) OJ L 128, 21.5.1999, p. 1.

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(19 June 2000)

The Commission is calling on the help of independent consultants in order to gain a true picture of
Olympic Airways(cid:146) circumstances. It is maintaining contact with the Greek authorities so as to ensure that
the new operational plan, which is geared to privatisation of the company in the near future, will be
sufficient to guarantee its recovery.

Under Article 1(1)(ii) of Commission Decision 1999/332/EC of 14 August 1998, Olympic Airways may
receive (cid:145)new loan guarantees totalling USD 378 million for loans to be contracted before 31 December
2000 for the purchase of new aircraft(cid:146).
