Subject: European School in Alicante

There are a large number of Community officials working in Alicante, which is the seat of the OHIM, and
their educational requirements could best be met by opening a European School there. The Alicante city

made by the Alicante city authorities?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3228/00

by Robert Goebbels (PSE) to the Commission

(17 October 2000)

Subject: Oil crisis

Mr Prodi, President of the Commission, and Mrs Loyola de Palacio, Vice-President, have recently met with
the chairmen of Shell, BP-Amoco, TotalFinaElf, Repsol, ENI, Norsk Hydro and Statoil in Brussels.

Did Mrs de Palacio take this opportunity to mention the proposal, put forward by the Group of the Party
of European Socialists during the debate of 20 September 2000 on measures to be taken in the wake of
the oil crisis and the increase in the oil price, that the major European oil-importing companies should be
urged to draw up their supply contracts in euros?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(1 December 2000)

industry would offer numerous
It is true that using the euro as the transaction currency in the oil
advantages for European economic operators and consumers. Generally speaking, with the euro as the
benchmark currency in world trade European economic operators should be able to pay for their supplies
in euros as well as invoicing in euros.

How quickly the euro is going to become a benchmark currency will be determined mainly by market
forces. What will probably happen is that for example some of the main producer countries will prefer to
keep the dollar as the transaction currency, while others, much of whose trade dealings are with Europe,
might be interested in using the euro. The Community is, after all, the largest importer of oil.
