THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an
interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised
to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs (1), as last amended by
Decision 2001/4/EC (2), and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,

(3)

(4)

Provisional lists of establishments in third countries producing animal casings have been drawn up
by Commission Decision 1999/120/EC (3), as last amended by Decision 2000/80/EC (4).

Ukraine has provided the name of an establishment producing animal casings for which the
competent authorities certify that the establishment is in accordance with the Community rules.

A provisional listing of this establishment can thus be drawn up for Ukraine. Decision 1999/120/EC
should therefore be amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing
Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

In the Annex to Decision 1999/120/EC, the following row is added for Ukraine:

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1776/02

by Patricia McKenna (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(24 June 2002)

Subject: Discrimination against visually impaired people

An EU-financed pilot project in Ireland, England and Sweden empowered visually impaired people to
campaign for change around minimum changes to improve life for people with such a disability. These
include the installation of audio signals at all road crossings, removal of obstructions on streets and other
public places, improved transport facilities, social outlets, etc.

In view of the fact that 2003 is the European Year of Disability, what does the Commission propose to do
to address this de facto discrimination against visually impaired people?

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(15 July 2002)

In the Commission’s Communication ‘Towards a barrier-free Europe for people with disabilities’ (1), the
Commission confirms its commitment to establish a work group which will be tasked to identify
appropriate measures in order to improve the build environment for all people with disabilities. This will
include people with visual impairments.

The composition and management arrangements for this group are currently being examined.
It is
intended that this group shall start its tasks this year in order to complete these during 2003, European
Year of People with Disabilities.

A number of different services in the Commission will participate in the work of
this group.
Representatives of disability organisations, as well as the different sectors of industry and experts in these
matters will also be closely associated with this work.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2081/02

by Christoph Konrad (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(8 July 2002)

Subject: Use of Objective 2 funding in North-Rhine-Westphalia

A big firm in Mülheim, North-Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), needs to move from its current location due to
continuous expansion and is looking for a new site. There are two serious contenders in NRW: Mülheim
and Oberhausen. Oberhausen town council has announced that
it would make a EUR 1,5 million
investment grant available under the Land government’s regional economic development programme,
which is known to be co-financed by Objective 2 funding from the EU, if the firm chose to relocate to
Oberhausen. As Mülheim is not an Objective 2 area, it would not get a look-in.

tariff quotas in the poultrymeat sector and albumin (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1043/2001 and in particular
Article 5(5) thereof,

Whereas:

The applications for import licences lodged for the third quarter
of 2002 are, in the case of certain products, for quantities less
than or equal to the quantities available and can therefore be
met in full, but in the case of other products the said applica-

Has it done so in the past?

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(29 July 2002)

The Commission would like to point out to the honourable Member that every year it deals with several
hundred complaints about infringements by the Member States of Community legislation concerning the
free movement of goods and public contracts.

These complaints are dealt with in accordance with the procedure for failure to fulfil an obligation under
Article 226 of the EC Treaty, and in the event of disagreement with the Member State in question the
matter may be referred to the Court of Justice.

The internal rules of procedure adopted by the Commission require observance of the confidentiality of
complaints. This principle was recently reiterated in the Commission Communication of 20 March 2002
to the European Parliament and the European ombudsman on relations with the complainant in respect of
infringements of Community law (1).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1779/02

by Luciano Caveri (ELDR) to the Commission

(24 June 2002)

Subject: Provisions on hang-gliders and paragliders

The use of hang-gliders and paragliders has become widespread in all the EU Member States in recent
years, and the areas in which they fly often straddle different European countries.

This field is nevertheless governed by quite different national provisions, and this is true both for the
machines and for the people who fly them. Would the Commission not agree that a set of common
European rules should be defined for hang-gliders and paragliders?

Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(6 August 2002)

As the Honourable Member points out, hang-gliding and paragliding are sports which have grown in
popularity in recent years, as have other outdoor sports. This has brought to light the difference in
national approaches to rules concerning these disciplines.

However, the Commission does not plan to draw up a set of common European rules, as the EC Treaty
does not expressly provide for Community powers relating to sport. It is up to Member States to adopt
rules which they consider to be appropriate in this field.

(2002/C 301 E/240)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1780/02

by Luciano Caveri (ELDR) to the Commission

(24 June 2002)

Subject: Single sky (cid:1) Italy

The diverse and complex issues connected with the single sky raise the obvious question of increasing
harmonisation between the Member States in aeronautical matters.

Italy is an interesting case in several ways: the ‘Codice della navigazione aerea’ (Air Navigation Code) dates
from 1942 and, 60 years later, is still awaiting an implementing regulation. Decades down the line, the
ICAO Annexes (18 in total) and their associated technical instructions (DOCs) have yet to be formally
transposed into Italian law. Airport servitudes (ICAO Annex 14 and Italian Law No 58 of 1963) have not
been applied in Italy, which means that its main airports are being engulfed by settlements of all shapes
and sizes.

Does the Commission have any news concerning this subject, and what harmonising measures would have
to be taken with regard to the Member States, including Italy?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(23 July 2002)

Italian civil aviation legislation has to be considered in the light of instruments drawn up pursuant to
international conventions and, more recently, Community activities.

A regulation implementing the 1925 Air Navigation Code is still in force. Several regulations have been
adopted to incorporate the provisions of the Annexes to the 1994 Chicago Convention and documents
relating to them into national law.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1803/02

by Esko Seppänen (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(24 June 2002)

Subject: EU aid to the Palestinian Authority

It is hard to obtain a detailed picture from the EU budget of the amount of resources allocated each year
by the EU to the Palestinian Authority. What is the amount in fact? What is the Commission’s estimate of
the financial value of the destruction caused by the Israeli Army to objects which had received EU
subsidies?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(29 July 2002)

Information on the aid allocated annually to the Palestinian Authority from the Community budget is
publicly available; see the annual report on the implementation of external aid published by the
Commission and, up to the year 2000, in the annual report on the MEDA programme.

Copies of the summary Table in Annex 1, setting out the financial aid provided by the Community and the
European Investment Bank (EIB), have been sent to the Honourable Member and Parliament’s Secretariat.

The Table in Annex 2 gives estimates for the damage and destruction caused by the activities of Israeli
forces in the Palestinian territories, and particularly by Operation Rampart in the West Bank in April
2002, to infrastructure that was financed from Community and/or EIB funds. Copies of the Annex have
been sent to the Honourable Member and the Secretary-General of Parliament.
