Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12
October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the

(1)

(2)

Council Regulation (EC) No 2848/2000 of 15 December

(EC) No 1666/2001 (4), lays down quotas for cod for

exhausted the quota allocated to the Community for 2001.

Fishing for cod in the waters of ICES divisions I and II (Norwe-
gian waters) by vessels flying the flag of a Member State or
registered in a Member State is hereby prohibited, as are the
retention on board, transhipment and landing of this stock
caught by the above vessels after the date of application of this
Regulation.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3408/01

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(5 December 2001)

Subject: Anti-semitic badges

During a holiday in Crete, one of my South-West constituents walked into a shop which had a range of
anti-semitic badges on sale. An example of these was the one that my constituent bought, in order to send
to my office, which said ‘Chelsea Football Club: Up Chelsea, Fuck the yids’.

Is the Commission aware that such offensive badges were being sold in Crete?

If so, will the Commission make representations to the Greek Government about this issue?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(8 January 2002)

Racism and xenophobia are a direct violation of the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human
rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, principles upon which the Union is founded and
which are common to the Member States as stated in Article 6 of the Treaty on the European Union.

The Commission has recently presented a proposal for a Framework Decision (1), a legislative instrument in
the field of penal law. The purpose of the Framework Decision is twofold: firstly, to ensure that the same
racist and xenophobic conducts are punishable by the same penalties in all Member States and secondly, to
improve and encourage judicial cooperation by removing potential obstacles.

Public insults towards individuals or groups for a racist or xenophobic purpose, as well as public
dissemination of racist material by any means are included among the behaviours to be punishable as
criminal offences in all Member States.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3412/01

by Anna Karamanou (PSE) to the Council

(13 December 2001)

Subject: The humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan 9 refugees

Amnesty International and other non-governmental organisations have concluded that the situation of the
Afghan refugees abroad and those trapped within the country, who are primarily fleeing the bombing, is
bordering on a human tragedy.

What measures will the Council take to persuade those countries which support the military intervention
to take greater responsibility for the care of the refugees who are leaving Afghanistan in droves? Will
corridors be opened to channel humanitarian aid into Afghanistan? Will all those who reach other
countries be granted refugee status, and will suitable refugee camps be set up at a safe distance from the
combat zone? In addition, how does it intend to share the refugee burden between countries? Is there an
integrated programme, to be operated in collaboration with the humanitarian organisations, to repatriate
those refugees who wish to return once hostilities have ceased?

(Text with EEA relevance)

The draft decision does not give rise to particular observations. The proceedings took a normal course. The
rights of parties to be heard were fully respected.

One association who had replied to a letter sent under Article 11 of the Merger Regulation asked to be
present at the Hearing in order to get clarification on the future of the European sugar regime and to
prepare for a study on the image of the sugar sector. This request was rejected since this association which
had not introduced a request under Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 447/98 neither justified
having a sufficient interest in the present case within the meaning of Article 18 of the Merger Regulation
nor did it make clear which point it wanted to make at the hearing.

reference of Hearing Officers in certain competition proceedings — OJ L 162, 19.6.2001, p. 21)

(2003/C 97/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

The draft decision does not give rise to particular observations regarding the right to be heard.

Following the initiation of proceedings under Article 6(1)(c) of Council Regulation EEC No 4064/89, as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97, the Commission, after an indepth investigation of the markets
in question, reached the conclusion that the serious doubts which it had initially expressed as to the
compatibility of the notified concentration with the common market could no longer be maintained.

The Commission therefore desisted from sending a Statement of Objections.
