The Commission regularly reminds the Member States about this provision and has done so last in
April 2001, and in the particular case of France by the above mentioned letter of 13 June 2002.

France submitted in its reply of 2 August 2001 figures for the year 2000 indicating that the percentage of
prize money retained for sport horses registered in France was 16 % under the conditions specified in
Article 4(2), first indent (horses of a particular studbook) and 9 % under the conditions of Article 4(2),
second indent (improvement of the breeding).

The Commission is talking to the competent authorities of France on details of the implementation and
application of Directive 90/428/EEC and will submit the acquired information directly to the Honourable
Members.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1583/02

by Gerhard Schmid (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Recognition of German notarial documents in Spain

(4 June 2002)

It is my understanding that Spanish authorities repeatedly refuse to register deeds from German notaries
with the Spanish Property Registry. The authorities refer in such cases to Resolution 3a (cid:1) Expte 166/99-B
of 15 March 2002 of the Spanish Ministry of Justice (Ministerio de Justicia, Secretaria de Estado de Justicia,
Dirección General de los Registros y del Notariado).

3.

Is the Commission aware of this situation?

Does it infringe European legislation?

If so, what action does the Commission intend to take to rectify the situation?

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(9 July 2002)

The Commission understands that the reference ((Ministerio de Jusicia, Secretaria de Estado de Justicia,
Direccion General de los Registros y del Notariado) vom 15.3.2000 (cid:1) 3a (cid:1) N Expte 166/99-B.) made in
the question may not refer to a law or regulation in Spain but could perhaps be an individual dossier or
legal case.

The Commission has through informal contacts learned that the problem described by the Honourable
Member may refer to the time before July 2000, when a new Spanish regulation on foreign investments
came into force which the Commission understands may allow acceptance of deeds from other Member
States.

However, as the Commission is not certain whether the Spanish system concerning recognition of deeds
from other Member States is fully compatible with the EC Treaty, the Commission will write to the
Spanish authorities to verify the situation. The Commission will keep the Honourable Member informed
about the outcome of this analysis.

The Commission adopted the said list on 5 April 2002 following a selection process based on the criteria
provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 178/2002. The Regulation provides that members should be
appointed in such a way as to secure the highest standards of competence, a broad range of relevant
expertise and, consistent with these criteria, the broadest possible geographical distribution within the
Union. The Regulation also provides that four of the members of the Management Board shall have their
background in organisations representing consumers and other interests in the food chain.

In the list adopted by the Commission, six candidates have backgrounds in organisations representing
consumers and six others in organisations representing other interest groups in the food chain. Of these
latter six, two have backgrounds in organisations representing the food industry, two in organisations
representing farmers and two in organisations representing commerce.

Consequently, the Commission list does indeed include candidates with backgrounds in the food industry.

Finally,
it should be emphasised that the members of the Management Board are not appointed as
representatives for a particular interest group but as individuals, and they must undertake to serve the
public interest and operate in a spirit of independence.

(4 June 2002)

Could the Commission please detail which of the organisations and networks of organisations taking part
in the Forum of the European Convention are funded or part-funded, directly or indirectly, by the
Commission or other European Union institution?

Answer given by Mr Prodi on behalf of the Commission

(5 July 2002)

The list of participants in the Forum is being sent direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament’s
Secretariat.

The answer to the Honourable Member’s question concerning funding will require more detailed research
within the Commission. A supplementary answer will be supplied.

approach for the development of environment infrastructure is also being developed with CARDS support
through the Regional Environmental Reconstruction Programme.

‘Air Traffic Regional Infrastructure Study for South East’ prepared by the EIB

Outcome: the regional infrastructure programme in South-East Europe

The co-ordinated efforts by the Community and IFIs, in the wake of the Regional Funding Conference of
March 2002 and since then within the ISG, are listed under the Regional infrastructure programme for
South-East Europe, which implementation is regularly monitored by the EC/WB Joint office.

The current list of ongoing regional projects (cid:1) all international donors cofounded (cid:1) amounts to 41
projects with a total cost of EUR 3,32 billion. Transport (particularly road infrastructure) represents 66 %
of the overall cost, equivalent to some EUR 2,2 billion, and spread between 33 different projects. The
energy sector comes second, with a cost of EUR 0,82 billion (25 %) for five electricity projects, and the
water and environment sector comes last with three projects and a total cost of EUR 0,29 billion (9 %). An
updated list was presented on 21 June 2002 at SP WT II meeting in Sofia.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1528/02

by Jorge Hernández Mollar (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Measures against Economy Class Syndrome

(4 June 2002)

From the plane straight into Casualty. This has been a common route for many EU citizens who, after a
flight of more than six hours, have arrived at an EU airport suffering from Deep Vein Thrombosis.

According to experts, Economy Class Syndrome is due to dehydration resulting from the dry atmosphere
in planes, the pressure decrease in aircraft on takeoff, and above all, the lack of mobility. Therefore doctors
recommend that airlines allocate greater space for passenger seats.

Can the Commission indicate if,
it can exercise
influence over airline companies to ensure that aeroplane seats provide passengers with more space in
order to avoid the overcrowding which encourages Economy Class Syndrome?

in accordance with medical opinion on the matter,

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(9 July 2002)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to the reply it gave to Oral Question H-0442/02 by

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1608/02

by Erik Meijer (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(5 June 2002)

Subject: Denial of National Mortgage Guarantee in the Netherlands to some residents who are nationals of

other EU Member States or EEA countries

1.
Is the Commission aware that the Owner-Occupiers Guarantee Fund (Stichting Waarborg-fonds Eigen
Woning) in the Netherlands, which provides National Mortgage Guarantees < the successor of Municipal
Guarantees (guarantees provided by municipal authorities that home-buyers would meet their mortgage
payments) < and protects home-buyers against future risks and against higher interest payments to
building societies to cover higher risks, has introduced new rules in 2002, one of which (p. 12) is that an
applicant from a Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area must be in
possession of a Netherlands residence permit which is valid indefinitely in order to be eligible for a loan to
help him/her buy a home or, as an owner-occupier, make improvements to his/her home?

2.
Is the Commission aware that the Netherlands only grants the right to such a residence permit once
the applicant has been entered in the population register of a Dutch municipality for five years, even if the
person concerned can prove with the aid of witnesses or by producing an employment contract that he/
she has been resident in the Netherlands for longer?
