amending Regulation ECB/1999/4 on the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular to Article 110(3) thereof,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central
Banks and of the European Central bank, and in particular to
Article 34.3 and Article 19.1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 of 23
the European
November 1998 concerning the powers of
Central Bank to impose sanctions (1), and in particular to
Article 6(2) thereof,

Whereas:

Regulation ECB/1999/4 of 23 September 1999 on the powers
of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (2) should be
amended for the following reasons:

information relevant

Past experience has shown the existing procedure for the
storage of
to the determination and
enforcement of sanctions, in particular the exchange of original
documentation and materials between the ECB and the national
central banks, has proved to be excessively cumbersome.
Therefore, the procedure needs to be simplified in order to
provide an effective and sound regime for the administration of

sanctions based on an expeditious procedure while, at the same
time, the same level of legal certainty shall be guaranteed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Amendments to Regulation ECB/1999/4

Article 9(5) of Regulation ECB/1999/4 shall be replaced by the
following wording:

‘5.
The national central bank concerned or the ECB, as
the case may be, shall store all the information relevant to
the determination and enforcement of the sanction in a file
that be kept for at least five years from the date on which
the decision on the imposition of the sanction becomes
final. The competent national central bank shall forward to
the ECB copies of all original documentation and materials
in its possession relating to the infringement procedure.’

Article 2

Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 24th day of the
month following the month of its publication in the Official
Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

lation (EC) No 718/2001 (2), and in particular Article 2(3)
thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Classification using common obligatory standards for
fresh fruit and vegetables provides a reference frame-
work that encourages fair trading and market trans-
parency and also eliminates products of unsatisfactory
quality from the market. It also helps to improve the
profitability of production.

(2) With the help of representatives of the sector from the
European Association of Mushroom Growers,
the
Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce
and Quality Development of
the United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) has just
unanimously adopted a new standard for cultivated

mushrooms of the genus Agaricus. Given that, in addi-
tion, the now considerable volume and value of intra-
and extra-Community trade in cultivated mushrooms
justify the adoption of a standard, the product should be
added to the list of products which are to be supplied
fresh to the consumer and are subject to standards.

accordance with the opinion of
Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,

As regards savings from reductions in fatalities, the discrepancies in definitions and measurement among
the Member States is even bigger than for time savings. The values in use range from € 35 000-1 700 000
per fatality, representing a 48-fold difference. After harmonising for the definitions, the EUNET (1) project
reduced this difference to a factor of 4.5 and indicated a weighted average value of € 770 000 per fatality
(1995 prices). The 2nd Community programme on road safety (1997-2001) introduced the criteria of € 1
million for life saved.

The Commission also follows with interest the on-going work of Western European Road Directors on
project evaluation and impact assessment.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1394/01

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(10 May 2001)

Subject: Corporation tax

What is the revenue raised by public authorities from corporation or other profits taxes on companies in
each year in each Member State, expressed as a proportion of GDP in each case? What conclusions does
the Commission draw from these figures concerning the debate over whether we need certain minimum
corporation tax rates to stop a so-called (cid:145)chase to the bottom(cid:146)?

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(4 July 2001)

A table presenting taxes on corporate income as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) for the
Member States for the period 1980-2001 is sent direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament(cid:146)s
Secretariat.

The Commission is not of the view that there is empirical evidence to suggest the existence of a so-called
(cid:145)race to the bottom(cid:146).

The Commission has in its recent Communication on tax policy concluded that the setting of tax rates in
this field is a matter for the Member States.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1396/01

by Nicholas Clegg (ELDR) to the Commission

(10 May 2001)

Subject: Directive for a general framework for informing and consulting employees

Has the Commission conducted an impact assessment of the proposed directive for a general framework
for informing and consulting employees? If it has, what were the results? If not, does the Commission
consider it to be responsible legislative practice to proceed with the adoption of a new directive without
being fully aware of its consequences?
