Have they ascertained how the local authorities intend to remedy the insecurity of the European

2.
quarter?

3. What practical steps will the Commission take to improve the security situation for its staff?

Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission

(7 December 2001)

The Protocol and Security Service of the Commission is fully aware of the reports referred to by the
Honourable Member. In late May and early June 2001, there were a number of violent attacks in the
neighbourhood of the European Institutions, carried out by persons answering the same description.
Victims included local shopkeepers.

These were, however, relatively isolated incidents; records show that, by comparison with the rest of the
Brussels region or with other European cities, such attacks are not very frequent in the European quarter.

The Commission’s Protocol and Security Service is in regular contact with Belgian judicial authorities and
with the federal and local police, to whom it passes on details (place, time, description of aggressors) of
any reported incidents that involve officials or other servants of the European Institutions, or the buildings
they occupy.

As a result, policing in the neighbourhood has been reinforced. The area from the Cinquantenaire Park to
the rue de la Science, and from the rue Joseph II to the Léopold Park, is now under closer supervision by
police patrols, both on foot and in cars. Periodically the two Parks are also patrolled by mounted federal
police.

While the Commission’s Protocol and Security Service has no authority to act outside the Commission’s
own premises, it provides assistance to members of staff who are victims of crime. In the first half of this
in close collaboration with other European institutions and the Belgian authorities,
year, the Service,
organised a series of lectures, which included talks by police officers, demonstrations of equipment and the
distribution of information about crime and how to avoid being a victim.

As a service to Commission staff the Protocol and Security Service will shortly be posting accessible crime
prevention advice on the Institution’s intranet site.

Subject: Listing Commission officials by nationality and professional category

Would the Commission provide me with a list setting out the total number of officials working in the
Commission, by nationality and professional category?

Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission

(21 December 2001)

Two tables showing staff by categories, as defined in the Staff Regulations, budgets and the professional
frameworks used by the Commission are transmitted direct to the Honourable Member and to the
Parliament’s Secretariat General.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3037/01

by Michl Ebner (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(30 October 2001)

Subject: Hand luggage on aircraft

In reaction to the terrible events of 11 September in the USA, checks at airports have also been greatly
intensified in Europe. Hand luggage in particular is now being very meticulously searched.

Does the Commission not consider that it would therefore be advisable for security reasons to impose a
general ban on carrying hand luggage onto aircraft, so that in future all items of baggage, including hand
luggage, would have to be surrendered immediately on check-in?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(19 December 2001)

The measure suggested by the Honourable Member has been examined with aviation security experts, but
has proved to be very controversial. While it would undoubtedly facilitate passenger control, it would
discriminate against people who wish to / or have to / keep certain articles close at hand during a flight.

The benefit in terms of security was not regarded as sufficient to include this measure in the proposal for a
European Parliament and Council Regulation on establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation
security (1) which the Commission sent to Parliament and Council on 22 October 2001 and which
Parliament has started to examine.
