Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(9 April 2001)

Decision No 1692/96/EC of the Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 establishes Community
guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (1), which identify projects of
common interest. An amending Decision as regards seaports and inland ports as well as project No 8 in
Annex III is being examined by the Parliament and the Council. The Conciliation Committee adopted a
common draft at its meeting on 13 March 2001.

The amended text defines the categories of ports included in the network, as well as the general conditions
and specifications for projects of common interest concerning seaports in the network. Hence, any port-
related project of common interest complying with these conditions and specifications is suitable for
financing under the trans-European transport network funds.

Under the amended text, all ports located in the Canary islands, would become part of the trans-European
transport network, if they interconnect islands, peripheral or outermost regions by sea and/or connect
them with the central regions of the Community. Fishing ports and marinas are excluded from this
consideration.

With regard to the priority Essen projects concerning Spain, the Commission can inform the Honourable
Member that the priority project No 8 (cid:145)Multimodal link Portugal/Spain-Europe(cid:146) includes in fact port areas,
but the territory of the Canary islands is not covered by this project.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0298/01

by Isidoro SÆnchez Garc(cid:237)a (ELDR) to the Council

(14 February 2001)

Subject: VAT increase in the tourism industry

It is being reported in financial circles that certain Scandinavian Member States are putting pressure on the
Commission to induce Spain to raise the rate of VAT it levies on the tourism industry to 16 %, the aim
being to harmonise taxation and thus avoid tax competition.

Will the Council say whether such pressure is indeed being exerted?

Reply

(31 May 2001)

The question raised by the Honourable Member is not within the Council(cid:146)s sphere of competence.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0248/01 by Cristina García-Orcoyen Tormo (PPE-DE) to the Council. Regulation of alcohol consumption on various forms of transport, particularly aircraft.

(cid:129) The Commission is already addressing some of the environmental problems in the regions through
ongoing projects. The Council encourages the Commission to take into account findings from the
reports on depleted uranium, as well as the overall situation concerning environment and health
issues, as the Commission draws up new country strategy papers for all the countries in the Western
Balkans.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0248/01

by Cristina Garc(cid:237)a-Orcoyen Tormo (PPE-DE) to the Council

(14 February 2001)

Subject: Regulation of alcohol consumption on various forms of transport, particularly aircraft

Drunkenness among passengers on various forms of transport is a relatively frequent occurrence. Such is
the case on aircraft, where alcohol is served to passengers free of charge, with no restrictions on quantity.

Bearing in mind the inconvenience these kinds of situations cause for both passengers and crew, and the
inadvisability,
from the point of view of health, of consuming alcoholic beverages while travelling,
especially on long plane journeys, will the Council state whether it has given consideration to this issue
with a view to regulating the consumption of alcoholic beverages on various forms of transport, and on
aircraft in particular? If so, what conclusions has it reached?

Reply

(10 July 2001)

The Council is aware that alcohol abuse on board aircraft can have a greater effect on bodily functions
than in other situations.

As far as the flight safety aspects are concerned, the consumption of alcohol by pilots and cabin crew is
governed by very strict rules.

The Council has never had occasion to discuss the matter raised by the Honourable Member(cid:146)s question.
