WRITTEN QUESTION E-1973/01

by Elizabeth Lynne (ELDR) to the Commission

(5 July 2001)

Subject: Kashmir

Given the recent Indian Government offer of talks with Pakistan over the disputed region of Kashmir, what
initiatives will the European Union be taking to ensure that this opportunity is fully realised?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(4 September 2001)

The Union has extensive relations with India. These were further enhanced when both sides met for the
first Summit in Lisbon in June 2000, and are expected to receive an additional boost at the second Summit
in November 2001 in Delhi. Regular constructive meetings take place at all levels, from expert groups to
Foreign Ministers.

Pakistan has been under military rule since 12 October 1999. While the Union does not want to return to
‘business as usual’ under given circumstances, it would like to engage Pakistan in a constructive dialogue
and avoid further isolation. Ad hoc political Troika talks were held in Islamabad on 20-21 November
2000. More recently on 26-27 June 2001, Pakistan and the Commission held working Groups covering
development, trade and economic co-operation.

Full use is made of these contacts to raise all issues of common concern, among which Kashmir is high on
the agenda. Furthermore, EU Heads of Mission in New Delhi regularly visit Kashmir under an extended
Troika format to assess the situation, in particular with regard to respect for human rights. The Union
consistently points out the necessity of finding a peaceful solution of the conflict and stresses that dialogue
is the only way forward.

The Union thus sincerely welcomes the recent invitation by Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee to General
Musharraf to visit India for talks, as well as the positive Pakistani response. On 29 May 2001 a declaration
was issued stating the Union support of this encouraging event.

Union involvement in the resolution of the problem is only appropriate and possible if both India and
Pakistan request it. This is currently not the case.

Subject: Osteoporosis

On 8 September 2000 (E-2102/00 (1)) Mr Byrne, on behalf of the Commission,
informed us that a
proposal for a Council recommendation concerning osteoporosis was in preparation and that it was the
Commission’s intention to forward the proposal to the Council by the end of last year.

Can the Commission specify what action is being taken and why no proposal has been put forward to
date?
