COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1001/2002

of 11 June 2002

fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organization of the market in
poultrymeat (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation
(EC) No 2916/95 (2), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that
the difference between prices on the world market for
the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and
prices for those products within the Community may be
covered by an export refund.

It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the
present situation on the market in poultrymeat that the
refund should be fixed at an amount which would

permit Community participation in world trade and
would also take account of the nature of these exports
and their importance at the present time.

(3)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The list of product codes for which, when they are exported,
the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC)
No 2777/75 is granted, and the amount of that refund shall be
as shown in the Annex hereto.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 June 2002.

Article 2

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1662/02

by Theresa Villiers (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(11 June 2002)

Subject: Protection of marine life

Does the Commission believe that the use of pelagic trawls has reduced the number of unintended

1.
killings of cetaceans?

2.
Does the Commission have any intention of commissioning an independent assessment of the
damage being done by pelagic trawls, including the number of dolphins, porpoises and smaller whales
being caught in these nets?

Does the Commission have any plans to demand compulsory monitoring of cetacean bycatch in all

3.
European waters?

4.

Does the Commission have any plans to ban all large-scale netting, as well as drift netting?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(4 July 2002)

The Commission is aware of possible by-catches of cetaceans by using pelagic trawls, but has no

1.
information on the trends over time of such by-catches.

2. With regard to the assessment of cetaceans by-catches in different fisheries, including in pelagic trawl
fisheries, and to the possible monitoring and mitigation measures to be taken in a co-ordinate manner at
Community level, the Commission invites the Honourable Member to refer to its previous replies to
written questions E-500/02 by Mr Martin (1) or E-967/02 by Mr Wyn (2) in particular.

3.
In any case, the Commission is aware of the need to improve the monitoring of the status of
conservation of cetacean species and of the possible impact that by-catch may have on it. To this end, the
Commission would like to stress the obligation for Member States to fully comply with relevant provisions
of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna
and flora (3).

The Commission would also remind that the Community has already put in place a general ban on
4.
the use of drift nets, Council Regulation (EC) No 1239/98 of 8 June 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No
fishery resources (4). This
894/97 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of
prohibition entered into force on 1 January 2002 and is applicable within all Community waters except
the Baltic Sea and to all Community fishing boats outside Community waters.

Convention to establish a coherent

(2003/C 92 E/091)

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1748/02

by Torben Lund (PSE) to the Commission

(11 June 2002)

Subject: Cruelty to dogs and cats

The Danish TV station, TV2, recently showed a documentary entitled ‘Flayed alive’, in which dogs and cats
were caught, trussed up with steel wire in enormous pain and then skinned alive. According to the
evidence, this method was used in China and Thailand.

This is an act of bestial cruelty to animals.

According to the programme, Italy and the USA have banned imports of hides and furs produced by
means of this bestial and totally unacceptable method.

Will the Commission submit a proposal to introduce such an import ban throughout the EU?

Answer given by Mr Lamy on behalf of the Commission

(22 July 2002)

The question of a trade policy initiative in the field of cat and dog furs (a ban on import of cat and dog
furs) should not be imposed in isolation from the more general issue of a domestic policy concerning the
production and marketing of cat and dog furs in the internal market. The common commercial policy
must be seen as a complement to the single market: trade restrictions in the absence of equivalent
measures on domestic production and marketing might be contestable as discriminatory and an obstacle to
the principle of national treatment.

Animal welfare concerns related to the production of fur in the Union is already covered by Community
legislation. The Community adopted Council Directives 98/58/EC (1) and 93/119/EEC (2), which apply to all
animals reared for commercial purposes, including the production of fur. Furthermore, in the framework
of
for farming purposes,
recommendations concerning fur animals were adopted in 1999. However, the applicability of these
measures to third countries outside the Union and the Council of Europe is clearly limited.

the Council of Europe Convention for the protection of animals kept

Therefore, the Commission does not intend to propose regulations on the trade in dog and cat furs,
leaving the decision to take measures to the individual Member States.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1657/02

by Ioannis Souladakis (PSE) to the Council

(11 June 2002)

Subject: Funding of CARDS infrastructure programmes

The five-year strategic programme, CARDS, does not provide for funding for major infrastructure projects
owing to a shortage of appropriations. Consequently, funding to strengthen and improve infrastructure,
is excluded from the
which is essential
Community framework, raising questions as to how it can be financed.

for the long-term development of south-eastern Europe,

1. What methods of funding major infrastructure projects has the Council provided for south-eastern
Europe?

2. Which European Union services and financial organisations does it intend to involve in the funding
of infrastructure projects?

Reply

(5 November 2002)

1.
Over and above the Community support under the CARDS regulation, investment projects in the
candidate countries in Central and Eastern Europe are in particular furthered by the global guarantee
granted by the Community to the EIB in relation to possible losses under loans for investment projects in
these countries. The ceiling for total guaranteed lending in this region was set in November 2001 at
EUR 9 280 million until 2007.

Furthermore, the EIB has created a pre-accession facility of some EUR 8 500 million applicable

2.
until 2003 for non-guaranteed lending for investment projects in the candidate countries.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1659/02

by Emmanouil Bakopoulos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

Subject: Recruitment to the European Food Safety Authority

(11 June 2002)

In April 2002, the Commission presented the 30 individuals selected to serve on the Management Board
of the European Food Safety Authority.

Of those 30, five are from consumer organisations and six from industry, agriculture and commerce.
Unfortunately, there are no candidates from the food industry despite the contribution they could make to
the service. Will the Commission say on what criteria the 30 candidates were selected and whether this
omission will be rectified?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(19 July 2002)

Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January
2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food
Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1) provides that ‘The Management
Board shall be composed of 14 members appointed by the Council in consultation with the European
Parliament from a list drawn up by the Commission which includes a number of candidates substantially
higher than the number of members to be appointed, plus a representative of the Commission’.

(2002/C 138/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 3 June 2002 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking Saipem SpA (‘Saipem’), Italy, acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of
that Regulation control of Bouygues Offshore SA (‘BOS’), France, currently controlled by Bouygues
Construction SA, by means of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Saipem: provision of offshore production systems and laying of underwater pipeline, land and offshore

drilling and construction of oil and gas plants and laying of cross-country land pipelines,

— BOS: design, procurement, construction and installation of onshore and offshore oil and gas

production facilities. Other activities include maintenance of existing plants and platforms.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1658/02

by Emmanouil Bakopoulos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(11 June 2002)

Subject: Stray dogs in Athens

Unofficial figures put the number of stray dogs in Athens at the present time at 300 000. With the 2004
Olympic Games in Athens in view, the organising committee proposes to take them off the streets and
find them alternative shelter.

Will the Commission express its concern that a viable solution should be found to this problem so that
these dogs are not put down for the sake of the Olympic Games?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(17 July 2002)

Although a considerable body of Union legislation for the protection of animals has been adopted this is
principally concerned with animals on farms, slaughter and killing of farmed livestock, transport and
laboratory animals.

Other matters, such as the control of stray dogs, remain within the exclusive competence of the Member
States.

There is, in consequence, no legal basis for the Commission to intervene with the Greek authorities about
this matter.

(2002/C 277 E/259)

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1671/02

by Martin Schulz (PSE) to the Commission

(5 June 2002)

Subject: Firearms legislation in the European Union

The tragic events of 26 April 2002, when a final-year pupil shot 16 people at the Gutenberg-Gymnasium
in Erfurt, led to a broad public debate in Germany and the EU concerning the approach to violence in our
society. Attention has particularly focused on firearms legislation.

Would it be possible to harmonise firearms legislation in the EU in such a way as to make access to
firearms subject to uniform criteria?

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(1 July 2002)

At European level, Council Directive 91/477/EEC of 18 June 1991 (1) already constitutes a common set of
regulations to control the acquisition, possession and transfer of weapons from one EU Member State to
another.

This Directive sets out categories of firearms whose acquisition and possession by private persons is either
prohibited, subject to authorisation or subject to declaration. The Directive also lays down that firearms
may only transferred from one Member State to another in accordance with the procedures stipulated
therein, by which Member States are informed that a firearm has entered their territory. For most of its
provisions, Directive 91/477/EEC allows the Member States to adopt measures which are even stricter than
those it has laid down and the Directive is without prejudice to the application of national provisions
concerning the carrying of weapons, hunting or target shooting.
