Declaration by the Commission in the Conciliation Committee on the Directive relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise

DECLARATION BY THE COMMISSION

in the Conciliation Committee on the Directive relating to the assessment and management of
environmental noise

The Commission takes note of the text agreed for Article 1(2) of the Environmental Noise Directive by the
members of the Conciliation Committee for the European Parliament and the Council.

The Commission considers that legislative proposals to reduce noise emissions from all major sources
should be made on the basis of robust evidence supporting such proposals. This is in line with the ‘knowl-
edge-based approach’
for policy-making as proposed in the Sixth Environment Action Programme
(COM(2001)31) and approved by the European Parliament and the Council.

In this regard, the reports required from Member States under the Directive on the basis of harmonised
noise indicators will be an essential element. The provision of such data across the Community will allow
the impact and benefits of possible measures to be properly assessed prior to presenting Community legis-
lative proposals.

Therefore, and in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community, the Commission will
evaluate the need to come forward with new legislative proposals, reserving its right to decide as and when
it would be appropriate to present any such proposals.

This is consistent with the Commission’s right of initiative, as laid out in the Treaty, while the requirements
of Article 1(2) relating to the submission of new proposals within a fixed time frame appear to be prejudi-
cial to this right.

Confidentiality may not be waived except with the explicit consent of the complainant. Waiving is
routinely requested when it is necessary for further consideration of the case by the Commission and with
a view to obtaining, in agreement with the Member State in question, a solution that is favourable to the
complainant.

As for state aids which are dealt with in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 87-89 of the

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1815/02

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(25 June 2002)

Subject: Economic integration

Will the Commission give figures for the most recent available year, for the previous five years and for the
previous ten years, relating to the stock of quoted equities held by non-residents in each Member State of
the European Union as a percentage of that Member State’s GDP, and will it also break down that figure
into non-resident holdings of equities held by residents of other EU Member States and by non-EU
residents?

Answer given by Mr Solbes Mira on behalf of the Commission

(1 August 2002)

The Commission (Eurostat) regrets to inform the Honourable Member that it is not in the position to
provide the requested data.

The most likely source of information would be Financial Accounts by Institutional Sector. However, the
data collection on Financial Accounts data is established in the transmission program in the ESA95
Regulation, Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and
regional accounts in the Community (1), and it does not require the split of the financial instrument ‘shares
and other equity’ in ‘quoted shares’ and other items. Similarly, the split of the non-resident sector into
Union and extra-Union is not foreseen.

How does the Commission intend to ensure a level playing field between Member States as regards the
