To date, only Venezuela has asked to benefit from European cooperation on information on drugs.

Only one monitoring project is being developed in a non-candidate third country. This is the monitoring
centre in Venezuela for which the Commission will provide a grant of €1 950 000.

The list of European bodies selected by the Commission for carrying out this project has not yet been
drawn up and the implementing arrangements have still to finalised between the Venezuelan government
and the Commission.

by Carlos Carnero GonzÆlez (PSE) to the Commission

(19 June 2001)

Subject: Request for further information concerning the construction of an industrial estate in a special bird

protection area in San Fernando de Henares (Spain)

In its reply of 8 May 2001 to my Written Question E-0882/01 (1) concerning the construction of an
industrial estate on a site set aside as ZEPA (special bird protection area) 142 in San Fernando de Henares
(Spain), the Commission said that, on the basis of the complaint submitted, it had asked the Spanish
authorities for their comments on the matter and had requested from them a copy of the impact
assessment carried out in respect of the project and a detailed description of the types of habitat to be
found in the area. The Commission also stated that it would make sure that the relevant Community
legislation was complied with.

Has the Commission received the information it requested?

If so, what view does it take of the matter in the light of that information? What action has it taken (or is
it intending to take) as a consequence?

If not, will
possible?

it urge the Spanish authorities to make the documents requested available as quickly as

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1791/01

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(19 June 2001)

Subject: Complaint to the European Commission of Human Rights

In 1996, Mr Mario Rainaldi lodged a complaint with the European Commission of Human Rights. That
complaint was received by the secretariat on 8 August 1996 and recorded under the number 33698/96 on
7 November 1996.

Given that almost five years have gone by since then, and that Mr Rainaldi(cid:146)s lawyer, Andrea Martire, not
only sent a registered letter on 27 October 2000, politely asking for news of the complaint, but has also
repeatedly telephoned the secretariat of the European Commission of Human Rights, can the Commission
say:

1. how such a situation has come about;

2. why no action has yet been taken on the matter?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(31 July 2001)

It is not for the Commission to express an opinion on a matter concerning a Council of Europe
organisation based in Strasbourg.

With the entry into force of Protocol No 11 to the European Convention on Human Rights, the European
Commission of Human Rights was dissolved. The Honourable Member should accordingly seek a reply to
her questions from the European Court of Human Rights (1).

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1792/01

by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(12 June 2001)

Subject: Current system of car taxation and its inconsistency with the internal market and free trade

In its answer to Question E-3519/00 (1), the Council accepts that it is empowered to act with regard to the
harmonisation of indirect taxation, to the extent that such harmonisation is necessary to ensure the
establishment and the functioning of the internal market. However, to do so, the Council continues, it
must receive a proposal from the Commission, which it has not yet received. In its work programme for
2001, the Commission announced that it intended to submit this year a communication on the taxation of
vehicles in the European Union.

Can the Commission provide information, even in broad terms, about the general guidelines for tackling
this problem provided for in the above communication? Does it intend to go further by drawing up
a legally binding proposal?

(1) OJ C 235 E, 21.8.2001, p. 5.

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(17 July 2001)

As the Honourable Member is aware, there is little Community legislation, or harmonisation of national
fiscal provisions, applied by the Member States in the area of vehicle taxation. Existing harmonisation
