WRITTEN QUESTION E-2051/01

by Eija-Riitta Korhola (PPE-DE) to the Council

(12 July 2001)

Subject: Loans to immigrants for business activity

There is experience in the Member States of providing special forms of loan to promote business activity
by women. These have, obviously, been aimed only at women and have fostered greater enterprise among
them.

Do similar loan schemes exist in the Member States for business activity by immigrants?

If they do, what effect have they had on immigrants(cid:146) social situation and in helping them to put down
roots in their new environment?

If such schemes do not exist, would it be possible to launch a common EU project to introduce them in
the Member States?

(2002/C 81 E/117)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2053/01

by Eija-Riitta Korhola (PPE-DE) to the Council

(12 July 2001)

Subject: Programmes for the integration of immigrants

Various different programmes have been introduced in the Member States to promote the integration of
immigrants into society in their new homeland. However, all
the
programmes only benefit those members of the country(cid:146)s own population who organise them; as a rule,
not even the implementation of the programmes has been entrusted to immigrants.

too often immigrants find that

Has the success of programmes for the integration of immigrants been assessed?

In which countries have the best results been achieved in terms of immigrants putting down new roots,
and what factors have been conducive to such success?

Has the commercial value of the programmes and of education etc. associated with them been assessed,
and has consideration been given to the possibility of making immigrants responsible for such business
activity?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-2051/01 and E-2053/01

(27 November 2001)

The Council does not have information on programmes introduced in the Member States to promote the
integration of immigrants into society. The adoption and implementation of national programmes aimed
at the integration of immigrants falls within the exclusive competence of the Member States concerned.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1963/01

by Luisa Morgantini (GUE/NGL) to the Council

(12 July 2001)

Subject: Marco Galucci, a European Union aid worker arrested in and deported from Israel

On 8 June 2001 Mr Marco Galucci, who is working on a Commission-funded humanitarian aid project,
was arrested at Ben-Gurion Airport and, although he was able to show clearly why he had come to Israel,
questioned for several hours. He was not allowed to telephone his consulate, his computer was searched,
his diskettes confiscated, and he was eventually sent back to Italy.

Will the Council respond to the actions of the Israeli authorities, bearing in mind that this kind of
behaviour severely impedes the smooth running of Union-funded humanitarian projects to aid the
Palestinian population hard pressed by war?

What specific steps will it take?
