1.
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No

May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk
and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No

below or equal to or above 92 % of the intervention
price.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3165/01

by Lord Inglewood (PPE-DE) to the Council

(23 November 2001)

Subject: Sellafield and the Irish Government

Bearing in mind the Irish Government’s invariable opposition to and regular and consistent attempts to
forestall developments at the nuclear establishment in Sellafield, what evidential weight does the Council
give to actions and submissions of the Irish Government, and does it consider the latter’s activities to be
consistent with accepting the ‘Acquis Communautaire’?

Reply

(25/26 March 2002)

Actions and submissions of the Irish Government in respect of activities at the Sellafield site are a matter
for that Government. The last part of the question, regarding the compatibility of the Irish Government’s
activities with the ‘acquis communautaire’, is a matter for the Commission.

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(28 January 2002)

The Commission services are following the on-going developments concerning the actions and
submissions of the Irish authorities relating to the operations in Sellafield.

The Commission services are aware of the action of Ireland against the United Kingdom before the UN
Tribunal of Law of the Sea and the action against the United Kingdom referred by Ireland to an arbitral
tribunal under the OSPAR Convention. In this respect, the Commission would like to recall that under
articles 292 (EC) and 193 (Euratom) any dispute between two Member States concerning the application of
interpretation of the Treaties should not be submitted to any method of settlement other than those
provided by the Treaties.

The Commission has also written to the United Kingdom authorities to request clarification on the various
issues raised.

Notice to importers

Imports from Israel into the Community

(2001/C 328/04)

In an earlier Notice to importers published on 8 November 1997 in Official
the European
Communities C 338 (page 13), operators were informed that there were grounds for doubts about the
validity of EUR.1 movement certificates submitted to the Community for importations of orange juice
coming from Israel, that there was a lack of effective administrative cooperation as foreseen in the different
the existence of certain
preferential agreements signed between the Community and Israel and of
substantial errors in the application of the Agreements, to the extent that the validity of all preferential
certificates issued by Israel were put in doubt.

Journal of

Operators are informed that the EUR.1 movement certificates for orange juice, found to be invalid, have
been withdrawn by Israel and that the necessary measures have been taken to allow administrative
cooperation as foreseen in the Agreements.

As to the substantial errors in the application of the Agreements, operators are informed that arising from
the results of the verification procedures carried out, it is now confirmed that Israel issues proofs of origin
for products coming from places brought under Israeli administration since 1967, which, according to the
Community, are not entitled to benefit from preferential treatment under the Agreements.

Community operators presenting documentary evidence of origin with a view to securing preferential
treatment for products originating from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem
and the Golan Heights, are informed that they must take all the necessary precautions and that putting the
goods in free circulation may give rise to a customs debt.
