WRITTEN QUESTION E-1495/02

by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Application of Community Directive 1999/70/EC

(29 May 2002)

The Greek Social Security Institution (IKA) has occasionally engaged the services of doctors on indefinite
contracts of employment, pursuant to Legislative Decree 1204/1972 ‘concerning the provision of medical
care by the Social Security Institution’, in order to meet its requirements as set out in that Decree.

Will the Commission say whether the abovementioned category of workers is subject to the provisions of
Directive 1999/70/EC (1) in respect of their professional development?

(1) OJ L 175, 10.7.1999, p. 43.

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(3 July 2002)

Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999, concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work
concluded by ETUC (1), UNICE (2) and CEEP (3)
is applicable to fixed-term workers who have an
employment contract or relationship as defined in law, collective agreements or practice in each Member
State.

The Directive does not exclude the public sector from the scope. If doctors are considered as employees
according to the legislation in a Member State, the Directive is therefore applicable.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1497/02

by Lord Inglewood (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(29 May 2002)

Subject: Signing of the Euratom Treaty

Does the Commission consider that, by signing the Euratom Treaty, a Member State recognises the
legitimacy of civil nuclear establishments in other Member States, provided that they have complied with
the provisions of the Treaty?

Answer given by Mr de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(19 June 2002)

The declared objective of the Euratom Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community is the
promotion of nuclear energy.

Member States are free to decide, following their own political orientation, whether or not to produce
nuclear energy. Whatever decision they take, they must respect the obligations of the Euratom Treaty and
the decisions of other Member States who may decide to operate civil nuclear installations on their
territories, as long as these are in conformity with all relevant national, Community and international law.
