WRITTEN QUESTION E-3045/00

by Daniel Hannan (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(28 September 2000)

Subject: Euro games

What games for popular consumption have been produced with European Union funding to teach people
about the euro?

Answer given by Mr Solbes Mira on behalf of the Commission

(17 November 2000)

As part of the Eurofacile programme, the Commission has developed prototype games with consumer
associations and with associations representing social groups which have difficulty gaining access to
information about the euro.

Apart from these purely educational games, the Commission has not provided financial backing for
any game to be marketed commercially, not wishing to become involved in what is a highly competitive
field. Games may have featured as teaching aids in projects carried out in partnership with civil society
(non-profit-making associations).

The Commission has also agreed to make available to game designers facilities such as the Quest database,
which contains questions and answers on the euro.

The Commission does not claim an exhaustive knowledge of the field, but is aware of various euro games
marketed by well-known manufacturers.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3047/00

by Theresa Villiers (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(28 September 2000)

Subject: Transport of animals

In July and August 2000, investigators from Compassion in World Farming and Animals(cid:146) Angels spent
two weeks in the Italian port of Brindisi. They observed several breaches of Council Directive 91/628/
EEC (1) (as amended) on the protection of animals during transport in respect of sheep arriving from the
Netherlands and Spain. The main problems observed included the failure to give animals 24 hours rest
after the permitted maximum journey time, the transport of unfit animals and the use of (cid:145)basic(cid:146) vehicles
which, under Council Regulation 411/98 (2), should not be used to transport animals for more than 8
hours, actually to transport them on very much longer journeys.

What steps is the Commission taking (a) to persuade Italy to enforce EU law in respect of animals passing
through Brindisi and (b) to persuade Spain and the Netherlands not to permit animals to leave their
territory when the consignment is in breach of Council Directive 91/628 and/or Council Regulation 411/
98?
