C 115 E/241

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(17 January 2002)

The facts related by the Honourable Member concerning Ericsson’s failure to honour its financial
commitments and its promises to maintain employment levels do not come under Community law.

It is therefore up to the national authorities to assess the consequences of the situation described by the
Honourable Member and to determine whether those involved are to be held accountable.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3253/01

by Jan Wiersma (PSE) to the Commission

(16 November 2001)

Subject: Roma activist Rudko Kawczynski

Is the Commission aware of the intention of the German authorities to imprison the Roma activist Rudko
Kawczynski on 19 November 2001 for having taken part in a human rights demonstration in 1990?

Is the Commission prepared to urge the German authorities not to proceed with this arrest?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(20 December 2001)

The Commission would inform the Honourable Member
responsibility and jurisdiction as regards both enforcement and judicial matters.

that

the Member States have primary

Consequently, there is no provision in the Treaties establishing the Union and the European Community
which allows the Commission to intervene to prevent a Member State arresting an individual on its
territory.

According to the information available, the case raised by the Honourable Member does not fall within the
scope of Community law. It is not, therefore, for the Commission to adopt a position on the substance of
this case.

However, it should be remembered that, if the person in question considers that his fundamental rights
have been infringed, he may bring an action in the national courts and, once he has exhausted his means
of redress there, he can lodge an appeal with the European Court of Human Rights if he feels there has
the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental
been a breach of
Freedoms.
