(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 14 September 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 Belgian Company Interbrew SA acquires, within the meaning of Article
3(1)(b) of the Regulation, control of the whole of Brauerei Beck’s GmbH und Co. ((cid:145)Beck’s(cid:146)) by way of
purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Interbrew SA: production and supply of beer and other beverages,

(cid:151) Beck’s: production and supply of beer and other beverages, manufacture of container glass.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2638/01

by Bartho Pronk (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(21 September 2001)

Subject: Further questions concerning case law in relation to the Belgian State Pensions Service

On 16 July I submitted questions (E-2263/01) (1) on the subject of non-compliance by the Belgian State
Pensions Service with the case law of the Court of Justice.

The Commission has since given a reply to those questions.

With reference to the Commission(cid:146)s reply:

1. Has the Belgian Government responded to the Commission(cid:146)s request for clarification?

2. Has the Belgian Government(cid:146)s reply led to a procedure under Article 226 of the EC Treaty being

initiated?

(1) OJ C 40 E, 14.2.2002, p. 230.

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(18 October 2001)

The Commission would inform the Honourable Member that it has not yet had a reply to its letter of
18 July 2001 requesting information within two months on the follow-up of the Court(cid:146)s case law
established in the judgment delivered in the Engelbrecht case, C-262/97.

Consequently, the Commission has sent the Belgian authorities a reminder. The Honourable Member will
be kept informed of the outcome.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2644/01

by Luciana Sbarbati (ELDR) to the Commission

(28 September 2001)

Subject: European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products

The EU budget provides for EUR 14 million to fund this Agency (EMEA), which was set up in 1995 as a
result of cooperation between the Commission, Parliament and the ESC and currently has a staff of 220
(this figure will increase to 250 in 2002).

The Agency(cid:146)s tasks include:

(cid:129) protecting and strengthening conditions of competition of supply in Europe, guaranteeing high-quality

products;

(cid:129) coordinating and revitalising scientific research;

(cid:129) harmonising authorisation procedures;

(cid:129) verifying information on the characteristics of pharmaceutical products for doctors, pharmacists and

patients to ensure that they are clear and standardised throughout the Community;

(cid:129) carrying out post-marketing surveillance through a pharmacovigilance coordination system in the

individual Member States.

Given the priority which should be given to the social dimension of the pharmaceutical sector, will the
Commission state what responsibility the Agency had in the recent anticholesterol drugs crisis, involving
patients in various European countries?
