WRITTEN QUESTION E-3102/01

by Yasmine Boudjenah (GUE/NGL) to the Council

(15 November 2001)

Subject: Supply to third countries of equipment which might be used for internal repression

The Council has already adopted regulations banning the supply to certain third countries of equipment
which might be used for internal repression. It did so in the case of Indonesia in October 1999.

Is the Council minded to adopt this type of regulation in the case of other countries which carry out
campaigns of internal repression, for example Turkey, against the Kurdish population, and Morocco,
against the Western Saharan population?

Reply

(18 February 2002)

1.
The Council has never had occasion to consider the question raised by the Honourable Member in
relation to the countries to which she refers. However, on 16 September 1999, it did adopt Common
Position 1999/624/CFSP based on Article 15 of the TEU, Article 2 of which specifies that ‘a ban on the
supply of equipment which might be used for internal repression or terrorism’ will apply to Indonesia.

2.
In the third annual report according to Operative Provision 8 of the European Union Code of Conduct
on Arms Exports, noted by the Council on 19 November 2001, Member States identified a number of
guidelines on topics requiring consideration or action in the near future. These included agreement on the
definitive adoption of a system for controlling exports of non-military security and police equipment.

In this connection the Commission has recently announced a proposal for a Community mechanism for
controlling exports of non-military equipment which may be used for internal repression.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3104/01

by Yasmine Boudjenah (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(13 November 2001)

Subject: Ratification of the Cotonou Agreement

The Cotonou Agreement between the European Union and the ACP countries has already had most of its
provisions implemented in advance and on a provisional basis, but there appears to be a considerable
delay in ratifying the agreement, particularly in the EU Member States.

Can the Commission provide a list of EU Member States and ACP countries which have ratified the
agreement?

What measures does the Commission intend to take to speed up the ratification process?

Answer given by Mr Nielson on behalf of the Commission

(21 December 2001)

In order to come into effect, the Cotonou Agreement, signed on 23 June 2000, must be ratified by all
Member States and the Community (16 ratifications necessary, including the assent of the Parliament) as
well as by 2/3 of the signatory African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States (51 of the 76 signatories =
article 93.2 of the Agreement).

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2241/2001

of 15 November 2001

amending the autonomous common customs tariff duty for garlic falling within CN code
0703 20 00

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

(3)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

So that the new system can completely fulfil its role, the
autonomous rate of duty fixed in the common customs
tariff should be increased by the same specific amount as
that laid down for the out-of-quota conventional duty,
with effect from 1 June 2001,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

to Article XXVIII of

The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters
between the European Community and the Argentine
Republic pursuant
the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994, for the
modification of concessions with respect
to garlic
provided for in Schedule CXL annexed to the GATT, was
approved on behalf of
the Community by Decision
2001/404/EC (1).

The conditions for importing garlic have thus been
amended as a result from 1 June 2001. The new system
subjects
imports of garlic falling within CN code
0703 20 00, outside of a GATT quota, to a customs
duty comprising an ad valorem rate of 9,6 % and a
specific amount, fixed at EUR 1 200 per tonne net.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The autonomous common customs tariff duty for garlic falling
within CN code 0703 20 00 shall comprise an ad valorem rate
of 12 % and a specific amount of EUR 1 200 per tonne net.

Article 2

into force on the third day
This Regulation shall enter
following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 June 2001.

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

As for knowing whether the Commission shares the view that a project of this nature should be the
subject of an architectural competition, the Commission would point out that the Belgian authorities are at
liberty to choose whichever procedure(s)
they consider to be the most appropriate (architectural
competition, service contract, works contract), in compliance with the applicable Community law. Since
this law contains no obligation to make use of the competition procedure, in certain specific cases, the
Commission is unable to comment on this point.

by Theresa Villiers (PPE-DE) to the Council

(15 November 2001)

Subject: Health spending

Could the Council please indicate, as a proportion of GDP, expenditure on healthcare in each EU

1.
Member State by:

(a) governments,

(b)

individuals?

Could it also please indicate average EU expenditure on healthcare as a proportion of GDP, using the

2.
most recent figures available?

Reply

(18 February 2002)

The Council does not receive data on health care expenditure in EU Member States and therefore is not in
a position to reply to the Honourable Member’s questions.

Until now, these figures were published by the OECD. However, in the future, Eurostat and the OECD will
cooperate to collect and update such data for publication.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3117/01

by Karin Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR) to the Commission

Subject: The aviation industry following 11 September 2001

(5 November 2001)

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September 2001 have
exacerbated the crisis in the aviation industry in the USA and Europe. The US authorities have responded
by granting their industry an aid package worth some $ 15 billion. The crisis has also entailed a reduction
in the number of departures for many airlines both in the USA and Europe.

7 What steps will the Commission take to monitor the US authorities’ aid package and its impact on the
it ensure that the aid package is consistent with

market in passenger transport, and how will
international trade agreements?

7 In the light of the Commission’s recent proposal on the allocation of slots at airports, what steps will
it take to ensure that airlines based in the country of departure are not given preferential treatment in
that respect, and what consequences does the Commission foresee if the proposal is adopted in its
present form?
