WRITTEN QUESTION E-2275/00 by Sebastiano Musumeci (UEN) to the Commission. Bilateral agreements between Sicily and North Africa in the fisheries sector.

C 81 E/183

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(4 August 2000)

Article 296 (formerly Article 223) of the EC Treaty which authorises the Member States to exempt their
defence industries from competition law is being increasingly perceived in many quarters as an obstacle to
the development of a European defence industry. The national derogations which it allows may have been
justified at a time when there was no prospect of a European defence industry but now seem ineffective in
some cases.

The Court of Justice(cid:146)s interpretation of this Article is becoming increasingly restrictive as attested in
particular by its judgment of 16 September 1999 (Case C414/97, Commission v. Spain). The Treaty
normally applies to products covered by this Article and a Member State applying for a derogation must
prove that it is justified.

Although the Commission shares the interpretation of the Court of Justice, it is aware of the issues and
debate to which this Article gives rise. Consequently it is considering whether to present a proposal to
amend the Article at a future Intergovernmental Conference. However it is also considering an alternative
approach; this would be to propose a sort of code of conduct for the interpretation of and harmonised
practices for Article 296 of the EC Treaty.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2275/00

by Sebastiano Musumeci (UEN) to the Commission

(7 July 2000)

Subject: Bilateral agreements between Sicily and North Africa in the fisheries sector

No solution has yet been found to the fisheries problems involving the Sicilian and North African fishing
fleets in the international waters of the Sicilian Channel.

It should be noted that, by virtue of is special statute, the Region of Sicily is the authority primarily
responsible for fisheries.

It should also be noted that Sicily is on the European Union(cid:146)s frontier with the Afro-Asian basin.

Could the Commission state whether, and subject to what restrictions, the Sicilian regional authorities
could be allowed to conclude bilateral fisheries agreements with neighbouring North African countries?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(28 July 2000)

The Community has exclusive powers to negotiate and conclude bilateral fisheries agreements with non-
member countries; these are exercised by the Commission on the basis of negotiating instructions given to
it by the Council.
