WRITTEN QUESTION E-0786/02

by Jens-Peter Bonde (EDD) to the Commission

(19 March 2002)

Subject: List of safety and security measures at nuclear power plants

Will the Commission produce a list of safety and security measures taken at nuclear power plants since
11 September and assess the risks posed by a suicide attack such as occurred at the World Trade Center?
Could the risks be eliminated by fitting a 2,5 m-thick concrete shield, as suggested in Politikken on
6 November 2001 by Hans Bjerregård of the Forum for Energy and Development?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(26 April 2002)

The Honourable Member’s question concerns the security measures taken by nuclear power plants
following the events of 11 September 2001. It is important to point out that, because of concerns relating
to non-proliferation and radiological protection, the nuclear industry is one of the sectors of industry with
the highest security and safety standards.

Since 11 September 2001, the authorities in the Member States have strengthened existing protection
arrangements and the physical protection measures already in place for installations at risk, in particular
nuclear power plants. The most obvious measures have been widely reported in the press, such as the
installation of a battery of surface-to-air missiles near the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at La Hague in
France. Having said that, the physical protection measures are by their very nature confidential. If the
details were released, their dissuasive effect and hence their effectiveness could be compromised.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0787/02

by Ursula Schleicher (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Reform of the European Schools

Is the Commission aware of proposals by the Board of Governors of the European Schools to extend the
use of the first foreign language to additional subjects and thereby reduce the use of the mother tongue in
lessons? What is the Commission’s view of the proposals for reform raised by the Board of Governors, and
what steps will it take to prevent most of the other language sections from being compromised?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0789/02

by Ursula Schleicher (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(19 March 2002)

Subject: Reform of the European Schools

Is the Commission aware of the proposals made by the Board of Governers of the European Schools to
increase the minimum number of participants required for courses be created, and to increase the number
of subjects taught in a foreign language?

Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission

(28 May 2002)

According to the preamble to the Convention signed by all the Member States and the Communities on
17 June 1994, the European schools system ‘fully acknowledg(es) the Member States’ responsibility for the
content of teaching and the organisation of their educational system, and for their cultural and linguistic
diversity.’

The Board of Governors, the intergovernmental body responsible for these schools, has not made or
considered any proposal either to amend the existing rules on the size of the various groups or to extend
teaching in the first foreign language.

(2002/C 277 E/096)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0795/02

by Feleknas Uca (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(20 March 2002)

Subject: Ban on the association of Alevi-Bektashi institutions in Turkey

On 13 February 2002, the second court banned the association of Alevi-Bektashi institutions because it
allegedly violates the Turkish Law on Associations. Approximately 20 million people in Turkey are Alevi
Muslims.

In imposing the ban, the Court invoked paragraph 5 of Law No 2908 on Associations which makes it a
punishable offence to seek to undermine the unity of the Turkish nation and its territory by activities to
promote a language, race, religion, or ethnic group.

These provisions are not in consistent with a pluralist and democratic society and they violate the rights of
religious freedom and freedom of thought.

1.

Is the Commission aware of the ban on this religious movement?

2. What is the Commission’s view of the Turkish Law on Associations Law?

Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission

(29 April 2002)

The Commission is aware of the closure, on 13 February 2002, by the Ankara Civil Court of the Cultural
Association of the Union of Alevi and Bektashi Establishments.

The Commission noted the arguments of the prosecutor that according to Articles 14 and 24 of the
Turkish Constitution and Article 5 (1) of the Law on Associations,
it is not possible to establish an
association by the name Alevi or Bektashi in Turkey.

In a recent development, an appeal to the Court of Cassation by the Association has been made. At this
stage, the Commission was already informed that if the appeal was rejected the case would be taken to the
European Court of Human Rights.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.2730 (cid:151) Connex/DNVBVG)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2002/C 70/15)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 7 March 2002 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
1.
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking Connex, Germany, belonging to the French Vivendi group, acquires, within the
meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation,
joint control of the undertaking Deutsche Nahverkehrs-
Gesellschaft mbH (DNVG), Hanover, by way of puchase of shares from Deutsche Nahverkehrs-Beteiligungs-
und Verwaltungsgesellschaft (DNVBVG), Hannover, which is indirectly controlled by the city of Bonn, the
city of Leipzig and the city of Hannover (all of them in Germany).

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Connex: local public transport by road and rail,

(cid:151) DNVBVG: holding company,

(cid:151) DNVG: local public transport by road and rail.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under
Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under
the procedure set out in the notice.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit
