WRITTEN QUESTION E-0697/02

by Eija-Riitta Korhola (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: The EU’s objectives in the ILO world commission

(14 March 2002)

The ILO has set up a world commission to consider the relationships between globalisation,
liberalisation of trade and social development. Naturally these issues are also important to the EU.

the

One of the chairs of the world commission is the president of an EU Member State, Tarja Halonen,
President of the Republic of Finland.

The world commission intends to report its findings in March 2003.

What are the EU’s objectives in connection with the world commission’s work?

Are there any plans for debating the objectives and/or the world commission’s conclusions with the
European Parliament?

C 277 E/81

As part of its examination of this complaint, the Commission has contacted the Spanish authorities for
their comments about the application of Community environment law which could apply in the case in
the point.

No reply has yet been received from the Spanish authorities. The complainant recently sent new
information which is being analysed by the Commission and will be compared with the reply from the
Spanish authorities once it is received.

In any case, in its role as guardian of the Treaties and with the powers at its disposal, the Commission will
take the necessary measures to ensure that Community law is complied with in the case in point.

With regard to any Community co-funding for the work planned on the two sites, the Commission has
requested further information from the Spanish authorities and will inform the Honourable Members once
it has been received.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0713/02

by Fernando Fernández Martín (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(14 March 2002)

Subject: Respect for human rights

In keeping with the spirit of the 1995 Barcelona Declaration, respect for human rights and fundamental
freedoms should play a key role in Euro-Mediterranean relations.

Unfortunately, in the case of Algeria, murder (with the conflict claiming some 200 lives every month), the
disappearance of individuals presumably kidnapped by the security forces or armed gangs, the fact that
liberties, such as the right to hold
human rights violations go unpunished, and restrictions on civil
meetings and the right of expression, are the order of the day.

What is the Commission’s view of the current situation in the Mediterranean Basin in general, and Algeria
in particular?

Does the Commission intend to incorporate a human rights control and monitoring mechanism in this
and the other Association Agreements with Mediterranean states?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(3 April 2002)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written E-0602/02 by Mrs Ferrer (1).
