Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of
Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation
(EC) No 1050/2001 (1),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22

In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No

for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned
cotton. That historical relationship has been established
in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/
2001 of 2 August 2001 (3), as amended by Regulation

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3184/02

by Robert Evans (PSE) to the Commission

(31 October 2002)

Subject: Disability Living Allowance

In response to my previous question E-1347/02 (1) Commissioner Diamantopoulou stated that
the
Commission was examining the continued exclusion of certain benefits (including the Disability Living
Allowance) from Regulation (EEC) 1408/71 (2).

Could the Commission inform me of any progress it has made in this matter or when it expects to
conclude its investigation?

(1) OJ C 277 E, 14.11.2002, p. 191.
(2) OJ L 149, 5.7.1971, p. 2.

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(6 December 2002)

The Commission has held bilateral discussions with a number of Member States concerning the benefits
they have listed in Annex IIa to Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 (1), which are exempt from the principle of
exportation. In the case of the United Kingdom this includes Disability Living Allowance (DLA). These
discussions have allowed the Commission to further its detailed understanding of the benefits in question.

in
The Commission is now considering a legislative proposal amending Regulation (EEC) 1408/71,
particular its Annex IIa. The aim of such a proposal would be to remove from Annex IIa benefits which do
not meet the criteria of being ‘special’ and non-contributory as defined by the European Court of Justice.
The forecasts are that the Commission will consider this proposal by the Spring 2003, and, when adopted,
it will then present it to the Council and Parliament.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3208/02

by Kathleen Van Brempt (PSE) to the Commission

(12 November 2002)

Subject: Internet voting

What is the Commission’s view of conducting elections via the Internet?

When will all voters be able to vote via the Internet in European elections?

Are pilot projects in the pipeline for 2004? If so, where?

Is the Commission funding these projects? If so, what is the amount involved?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(23 December 2002)

The Honourable Member’s question concerns voting via internet in elections to the Parliament. Voting
methods, like internet voting, are part of electoral procedures, which, pursuant to Article 7(2) of the 1976
Act (1), shall be governed in each Member State by its national provisions. This principle was not changed
but confirmed by recent Council Decision 2002/772/EC amending the 1976 Act (2).
