That partnership is taking shape under the Association Agreement between the Community and Morocco,
with a Working Party on Social Affairs and Migration having been set up in April 2001. The Working
Party met for the first time in June 2001. Although the Moroccan authorities voiced certain criticisms of
the action plan, they declared themselves ready to work with the Union bodies to devise a programme of
joint measures to combat illegal immigration through or from Morocco.

At a meeting on migration issues in July 2001 it was agreed to give priority to socio-economic measures
(for micro-businesses/SMEs), training measures, measures concerning legal migration to the Union and
measures to combat illegal immigration networks, including migration via sub-Saharan Africa. Work on
identifying projects to be implemented will continue in the autumn of 2001.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2461/01

by Camilo Nogueira RomÆn (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(11 September 2001)

Subject: Megalomaniac expansion of central airports by the Member States, and the issue of sustainable

development in the EU

Given the megalomaniacal tendency of the Member States to expand both their central airports and their
flag-carrying airlines (cid:129) a trend which even includes deliberate centralisation of economic power, as Spain
is doing with Madrid (cid:129) what
the sustainable
development approach and programmes to which the Union has officially committed itself?

is the Commission(cid:146)s strategic position,

in view of

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(19 October 2001)

Decisions on expansion of airport capacity fall mainly within the competence of Member States.
Expanding capacity at certain hub airports is one possible answer to the demand for more airport capacity.
Such projects are subject to the obligations of Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985, on the
assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (1) as amended by
Council Directive 97/11/EC of 3 March 1997 (2) which makes sure that the authorities in the Member
States integrate environmental considerations into the planning and realisation of new airport capacity.

In the recently issued White Paper (cid:145)European transport policy for 2010: time to decide(cid:146) (3), the Commission
identifies scarcity of airport capacity as one of the main problems for air transport in Europe. The White
Paper advocates a balanced strategy, which has to rely not only on the construction of new infrastructure
but also on a better use of existing capacity as well as on the promotion of air-rail intermodality.

(2001/C 251/02)

1.
On 30 August 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking Schmalbach-Lubeca AG (Schmalbach-Lubeca) acquires, within the meaning of
Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, sole control of two plants of the undertaking Rexam plc (Rexam). The
two Rexam plants are the beverage can plants in Runcorn (Runcorn) and La Ciotat (La Ciotat) together
with certain customer contracts. Schmalbach-Lubeca will acquire the whole of the assets of Runcorn and
will acquire 100 % of the shares in La Ciotat from Rexam.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Schmalbach-Lubeca (DE): packaging for beverages, food, cosmetics and household products,

(cid:151) Rexam (UK): packaging for beverages, food, healthcare and beauty products,

(cid:151) Runcorn (UK) and La Ciotat (France): packaging for beverage cans.
