Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped
imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

A. PROCEDURE

(1) Definitive anti-dumping duties were imposed on polysulphide polymers originating in the United

States of America in September 1998 (2).

(2) These duties were imposed following a complaint lodged by Akcros Chemicals GmbH & Co. KG,

Germany, the sole Community producer of polysulphide polymers.

B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING

(3) By a letter of 20 July 2001 to the Commission, Akcros Chemicals GmbH & Co. KG formally withdrew
its complaint and requested that the measures should be repealed. This request was based on the fact
that the sole exporting producer in the country concerned had decided to cease production of the
product concerned.

(4) In accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 a proceeding may be terminated where
the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.

(5) The Commission announced its intention to investigate whether the measures should be retained in a
Notice published on 4 October 2001 (3). Two responses were received following this Notice from the
user industry, both supporting the termination of the measures. In addition, the sole Community
producer confirmed its position that
therefore,
considered that termination would not be against the Community interest.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0053/02

by Wolfgang Kreissl-Dörfler (PSE) to the Council

(25 January 2002)

Subject: Framework agreement between the Teutonic Order, DOH International division, and the

Commission

In March 1999, the Hospitalers of the Teutonic Order (DOH) International and the Commission signed an
initial contract for a framework agreement worth EUR 2,95 million to finance an aid programme in several
countries in Asia. This was reported in issue number 4/1999 of ‘DO aktuell’, the magazine of the Order’s
German branch (Brüderprovinz). Since November 2000, the Teutonic Order, a public body, (headquarters:
Weyarn-Upper Bavaria), has been experiencing financial difficulties.

1. What were the content and the aim of the above agreement?

2. What terms and conditions had to be met to obtain EU funds?

3.

How much money has been paid out?

4. What information is available about the experiences and the results of DOH’s development work?

5.

6.

7.

Is there any documentation showing how the money has been spent? If so, what kind?

Have further agreements been concluded between the Commission and DOH? If so, which?

Is the present cooperation with DOH continuing or has it already ended?

Reply

(13 May 2002)

Only the European Commission can answer these questions and so the Honourable Member should put
them direct to that institution.

Subject: The Spanish presidency’s position on the reform and constitutionalisation of

the Treaties,

envisaged in the Laeken Declaration

What is the Spanish presidency’s position on the reform and constitutionalisation of the Treaties, envisaged
in the Laeken Declaration? Does it consider that the reform should go as far as the formulation of a
European Union Constitution?

Reply

(13 May 2002)

The Presidency responds to questions on behalf of the Council. It would be inappropriate for the Council
to take a view on the position of any Member State on the reform and constitutionalisation of the Treaties.

according to the contractual deadlines.

DOH’s contribution with regard to the implementation of the projects has been substantial.

DOH has ensured a financial guarantee required for the payment of the first instalment.

The results of the global evaluation are positive, the project was found to be particularly relevant and

As a result, co-operation with DOH has continued on this basis.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0067/02

by Camilo Nogueira Román (Verts/ALE) to the Council

(25 January 2002)

Subject: Position of the President of the Council on the reform of the CFP to be carried out in 2002

In the public presentation of the priorities of the Spanish presidency of the Council there was regrettably
no mention of the reform of the common fisheries policy, due to be carried out in 2002.

What is the Council’s position on this reform, in particular the adaptation of the policy in line with the
principles underlying the EU and, therefore, the Communitarisation of fishing rights and the reform of the
so-called principle of relative stability, which maintains unacceptable privileges and discrimination in
Community waters, whilst on the consumer markets equality of rights, consistent with the EU, prevails?

Reply

(25 June 2002)

As the Honourable Member may recall, Minister Miguel Arias Cañete stated the priorities of the Spanish
Presidency in the fisheries sector when appearing before the Fisheries Committee of
the European
Parliament on 23 January 2002.

Concerning the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy, the Commission has not yet tabled its proposals
and the Council is therefore unable to comment on the Honourable Member’s question.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0090/02

by Erik Meijer (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(25 January 2002)

Subject: Improving the social

rehabilitation of prisoners who are addicted to drugs by providing

accommodation which is as independent and humane as possible

1.
Is the Commission aware of the report ‘An overview study: assistance to drug users in European
Union prisons’ by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction concerning drug use in
prisons in EU Member States, which indicates that between 15 and 50 % of prisoners in the European
Union either still have or used to have problems with illegal drugs and that, moreover, prisoners are
inclined to take drugs because they see this as a remedy for boredom and also as a way of coming to terms
with the restrictions imposed by prison life and coping with bad news from the outside world and with
the ever-present aggression?
