Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(24 September 2002)

The Commission draws attention to its reply to Written Question E-3490/01 from Mrs Kinnock (1).

Under the subsidiarity principle, selection of projects to be part-financed from the Structural Funds is the
responsibility of the national and regional managing authorities. This principle covers any use of these
resources for preparation of a European City of Culture bid.

Many programmes adopted contain measures aimed at boosting a region’s image and identity so leading to
attraction of outside investment and creation of new jobs. Accordingly the managing authorities may select
projects relating directly or indirectly to preparation of such a bid.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2299/02

by Maurizio Turco (NI) to the Commission

(25 July 2002)

Subject: Explanations regarding the reply to Written Question E-1187/02 concerning the possible

involvement of the Vatican in agricultural fraud

From the reply of 2 July 2002 given to Written Question E-1187/02 (1) concerning the possible
involvement of the Vatican in agricultural fraud, it would appear that the EU anti-fraud office OLAF has
decided not to open an investigation, on the grounds that it has no information on the matter.

In the light of the above:

(cid:1) Why did OLAF decide not to open an investigation; does this mean that OLAF did not inform the
Guardia di Finanza (the Italian tax and customs police) and/or the Italian judiciary of the matter?

(cid:1) Is the Commission or OLAF aware that 800 tonnes of butter were exported to the Vatican by an

Austrian dairy?

(cid:1) In this specific case, were export subsidies granted, and if so, what was the amount of those subsidies?

(1) OJ C 28 E, 6.2.2003, p. 81.

Answer given by Mrs Schreyer on behalf of the Commission

(26 September 2002)

The Commission has been provided with the following information by OLAF regarding the questions of
the Honourable Member:

1. The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has contacted the Italian authorities. On the basis of the
information given by Italy and in light of the Italian-Vatican customs agreement governing the
Community trade with the Vatican, OLAF has considered that there are no grounds to start an
enquiry.

2. Yes.

3. Based on information received from the Austrian authorities, between 1996 and 2002 export refunds

in the total amount of EUR 1 544 079 were paid for a total quantity of 898,2 tons of butter.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2287/02

by Imelda Read (PSE) to the Commission

(25 July 2002)

Subject: Tobacco advertising

On 28 March 2002, the British Government forwarded to the Commission a notification under Directive
98/34/EC (1) concerning the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill. The standstill period on this draft
law was due to expire on 1 July 2002. Can the Commission confirm that the reason for this extension is
that the German Government has lodged objections to this draft British law banning tobacco advertising?

(1) OJ L 204, 21.7.1998, p. 37.

Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission

(22 August 2002)

The Commission would like to inform the Honourable Member that the draft Tobacco Advertising and
Promotion Bill has indeed been notified on 28 March 2002 under Directive 98/34/EC of the Parliament
and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field
of technical standards and regulations. Subsequently, on 28 June 2002, the German authorities issued, in
accordance with Article 9(2) of that Directive, a so-called detailed opinion. This detailed opinion has
extended the status quo period until 30 September 2002.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2288/02

by Geoffrey Van Orden (PPE-DE) to the Council

Subject: Elections to the European Parliament in 2004

(25 July 2002)

Will the reduced allocation of seats in the European Parliament (as agreed at Nice) be introduced for the
elections to the European Parliament in 2004? Will the UK’s allocation therefore be cut from 87 seats to
72 for June 2004?

If the allocation of seats to the UK is to be reduced, what will be the regional basis for the reallocation of
the seats?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2311/02

by Maurizio Turco (NI) to the Commission

(25 July 2002)

Subject: EU measures against the ‘EU-Student Vote’ project for the unauthorised use of the EU logo

On the website of the association which organised the online elections of the so-called European Student
Council (cid:1) www.eusv.org (cid:1) the European Union is still included amongst the partners of the initiative, as
indicated by the official flag and a link to the website www.europa.eu.int.

The President of the Commission has declared that the Commission has neither financed nor supported
this initiative in any way and that the above-mentioned Council will not be considered representative of
European students.

What measures does the Commission intend to take to protect itself from the casual and unauthorised use
of the symbols and name of the Union?

Answer given by Mr. Prodi on behalf of the Commission

(13 September 2002)

The criteria agreed upon between the Council of Europe and the Commission provide that the European
emblem may be used by third parties only if it is not:

(cid:1) likely to create confusion between the user and the Union or the Council of Europe;

(cid:1) linked to aims or activities incompatible with the principles and objectives of the Union or the

Council of Europe.

With regard to these criteria the Commission would not have any objection to the use of European
emblem to make a link to the Europa Server
(http://europa.eu.int/abc/symbols/emblem/graphics/
graphics_en.htm).

The Commission, however, would like to draw the Honourable Member’s attention to the fact that the
permission to use the European emblem implies no right of exclusive use.
It does not permit the
appropriation of the emblem, or of any similar trade mark of logo, whether by registration or by any other
means.
