COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1941/2001

of 2 October 2001

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1372/95 laying down detailed rules for implementing the
system of export licences in the poultrymeat sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in
poultrymeat (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation
(EC) No 2916/95 (2), and in particular Article 3(2) and Article
8(12) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1372/95 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1383/2001 (4),
lays
down detailed rules for implementing the system of
export licences in the poultrymeat sector.

The most recent amendment to that Regulation inter alia
adjusted the product categories given in Annex I thereto,
adding products in category 4 to category 3 in order to
facilitate the use of licences for the various presentations
of whole chickens and to permit the export of all types
of chicken under the same licence.

The new, more flexible rules apply to licences applied
for from 10 July 2001. However, the problems in trade
with Russia following the outbreak of foot-and-mouth
disease in several Member States have made the use of
certain licences applied for before 10 July 2001 impos-

sible. The validity of those licences should therefore be
extended and the new rules applied to them.

(4)

(5)

Since the licences concerned expire on 24 September
2001, this Regulation should apply from that date.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
the Management
accordance with the opinion of
Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1.
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1372/95 shall also apply
to export licences applied for before 10 July 2001 and still
valid on that date.

2.
Notwithstanding Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No
1372/95, at the request of the holder, the validity of the
licences referred to in paragraph 1 shall be extended by 45
days.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 24 September 2001.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2784/01

by Herbert Bösch (PSE) to the Commission

(1 October 2001)

Subject: Possible provision of misleading information to the Commission in the MED affair

In its answer to my written question E-2043/01 (1), the Commission states, with regard to the MED affair,
that UCLAF requested the competent Belgian judicial authorities in 1996 to examine the scope for criminal
action on the grounds of a conflict of interests pursuant to Article 245 of the Belgian Criminal Code.

1. When precisely was that request made,
addressed, and on what date was it answered?

to which department of

the Belgian judiciary was it

2. Will the Commission forward a copy of this correspondence to me and state whether it is now also
prepared to forward to me a copy,
including all the annexes, of the letter of 13 December 1999 to
Prosecutor Dejemeppe, as I requested in my question of 27 June 2001?

(1) OJ C 40 E, 14.2.2002, p. 170.

Answer given by Ms Schreyer on behalf of the Commission

(3 December 2001)

In order to assess the conditions for starting criminal proceedings on grounds of conflict of interests
pursuant to Article 245 of the Belgian Criminal Code, the Belgian judicial authorities were consulted
informally, without correspondence being exchanged. by a magistrate seconded to the Commission
(UCLAF).

At the moment, the Commission does not have sufficiently precise information relating to progress of
judicial proceedings in Italy to answer the Honourable Member’s question. The European Anti-fraud Office
will follow-up this procedure as part of its activities of monitoring legal proceedings. It is for the Office to
inform the institutions of the results of the investigation in accordance with the provisions applicable in
the matter.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2820/01

by Claude Moraes (PSE) to the Commission

(2 October 2001)

Subject: Vietnam and effects of Agent Orange

The use of Agent Orange during the Vietnam war was a humanitarian disaster, the effects of which are still
being felt today.

Can the Commission explain exactly what assistance is being given to the victims of the Vietnam war who
were affected by the use of Agent Orange and what assistance is planned for the future?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(10 October 2001)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written question E-2421/01 by
Mrs Ludford (1).
