WRITTEN QUESTION E-2833/01 by Terence Wynn (PSE) to the Commission. French tax provisions for foreign life insurance.

Subjects: France, infringement of EU law, life assurance, opinion (EU), restriction on competition, tax system

It must be stressed that the report submitted by the authorities was of extremely high quality, was very
detailed and contained all the information needed to evaluate the scheme: species of trees selected,
reforestation plan, budget, maps, aerial photographs, list of species of birds in the area which will benefit
most, etc.

Under these circumstances, after informing the plaintiff of the foregoing, the Commission decided, on
18 July 2001, to file the matter. There is therefore no reason to suspend the Community support from the
Cohesion Fund for the Madrid-Figueres high-speed line.

The Commission has already taken measures to ensure compliance with the directives mentioned by the
Honourable Member throughout Spain in the parallel case initiated against Spain for non-designation or
incomplete designation of SPAs (case 99/2212).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2833/01

by Terence Wynn (PSE) to the Commission

(12 October 2001)

Subject: French tax provisions for foreign life insurance

Referring to the answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission to Written Question
E-1552/01 (1) (French tax provisions for foreign life insurance) = has the Commission decided whether or
not to issue a reasoned opinion under Article 226 (ex 169) of the EC Treaty? If not, why not? If it has
done so, what was the outcome?

(1) OJ C 364 E, 20.12.2001, p. 144.

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(26 November 2001)

The Commission would inform the Honourable Member that it did in fact decide to send a reasoned
opinion under Article 226 (formerly Article 169) of the EC Treaty. It was sent to the French authorities on
25 July 2001. A press release on the subject was issued on 26 July 2001 (1).

The Commission asked the French authorities to amend the tax provisions concerned within two months
of receiving the reasoned opinion.

To date, the Commission has not been informed of any action taken by the French authorities in response
to the reasoned opinion. Consequently, the Commission will shortly decide on the follow-up to these
proceedings.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2892/01

by James Fitzsimons (UEN) to the Commission

(12 October 2001)

Subject: Imports of meat from Argentina

Can the Commission indicate the scale of meat imports from Argentina into the EU Member States in the
last year?

Can it also indicate whether or not these imports are accompanied by medical and health certificates and
the checks which are carried out on such imports?

Can it state, on the basis of its own information, whether and to what extent foot-and-mouth disease is
present in Argentina? Should foot-and-mouth disease be present in Argentina, will it ban such imports?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(12 November 2001)

According to data available (Eurostat), the amount of meat imported into Member States from Argentina in
2000 was 52 361 tonnes.

Meat exported from Argentina to the Community should fulfil certain animal health conditions, which
have been laid down in Commission Decision 93/402/EEC of 10 June 1993 concerning animal health
conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from South American countries. These
conditions include freedom from disease, de-boning and maturation of the meat.

The animal health certificate and a public health certificate as laid down in the annex to Council Directive
72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of
bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries must be completed, signed and accompany
the meat to the border inspection posts of the Community. These border inspection posts carry out import
controls on consignments comprising 100 % documentary and identity checks; physical checks are also
carried out on a percentage of these consignments.

The Argentinean authorities confirmed outbreaks of foot and mouth disease (FMD) on 23 April 2001 in
Buenos Aires and suspended their export of meat
from the whole country. Member States were
immediately informed and Commission Decision 2001/276/EC of 4 April 2001 amending Decision
