WRITTEN QUESTION P-3228/02 by Stavros Xarchakos (PPE-DE) to the Council. Europol data on terrorist organisations.

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-3222/02 and E-3224/02

(3 March 2003)

The Council is not aware of any estimates of the kind the Honourable Member is asking for, and in
particular of estimates regarding project-volumes likely to be initiated. The EU has not made any
agreements with the accession countries regarding the promotion of JI-projects. The Council is neither
aware of specific models that quantify the eventual effects of JI-projects on the future price of emission
allowances, and it should be noted that the present draft on the EU emission trading allowance scheme
does not contain provisions regarding such inclusions. The Commission is expected, however, to make a
proposal on the linkage between the Kyoto Protocol project mechanisms (CDM and JI) and the EU
emission allowance trading scheme in 2003. In this context, it might be appropriate to put the questions
raised to the Commission.

(2003/C 155 E/126)

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3228/02

by Stavros Xarchakos (PPE-DE) to the Council

(7 November 2002)

Subject: Europol data on terrorist organisations

Commissioner Vitorino said on 9 October 2002 in reply to question E-2284/02 that the Commission ‘is
not one of the organisations which has access to personal data in Europol’s possession’.

The Council of Ministers has repeatedly shown its concern to combat terrorism, and for this reason
immediately after the terrorist strike of 11 September on the USA it sought to introduce strict rules at the
EU level to track down terrorist organisations. It is also on record that on the Council’s initiative a list was
drawn up of terrorist organisations which operate in European territory.

Recently members of one of the most dangerous terrorist organisations (cid:1) the November 17 organisation
(cid:1) were arrested in Greece. I would like to know whether Europol has data on the movements of the
individuals involved in this organisation, and if so how long it has held this data. Was the Echelon system
used to monitor them, and was any data which came to light passed on to the Greek authorities in good
time?

Reply

(20 February 2003)

The Council has no access to data on individuals held by Europol.

Information held by Europol with respect to its activities in relation to specific terrorist organizations,
including its contacts with the authorities of Member States, is in principle not public.

However, the Honourable Member might wish to address himself directly to Europol, which has its own
responsibility for questions relating to access to documents and information it held.

The Commission monitors closely the situation of human rights, as indicated in the recently published
2002 Regular Report (1) on Turkey’s progress towards accession to the Union, and will continue to do so
in the future.

As far as Albania is concerned, the Commission, despite following closely the Albanian press, is not aware
of
systematic interference with private correspondence between Albanian citizens. According to
information available to the Commission, sporadic opening of private correspondence cannot be excluded,
but this is mainly the consequence of a deficient Albanian postal service. The Commission will however be
particularly attentive to this issue, and will continue to stress that the respect of human rights and personal
freedoms is indispensable for the strengthening of EU-Albania relations.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3216/02

by Nicholas Clegg (ELDR) to the Commission

(7 November 2002)

Subject: UK Government guidelines on tobacco imports by private individuals

Does the Commission regard the increase in UK Government ‘personal use’ guidelines to British travellers
from 800 to 3 200 cigarettes and from 1 kg to 3 kg of hand-rolled tobacco (announced 29 October 2002)
as an adequate response to the problems encountered by cross-Channel shoppers? Does the Commission
agree that guidelines have no binding legal force within the EU single market and that any guidelines of
whatever limit, if interpreted strictly, represent an infringement of free movement laws?

(2004/C 11 E/040)

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3230/02

by Nicholas Clegg (ELDR) to the Commission

(7 November 2002)

Subject: Burden of proof on travellers entering the UK with tobacco purchases in excess of UK guideline

amounts

Does the Commission regard changes to the burden of proof on British travellers suspected of transporting
alcohol and tobacco for commercial ends by the Government on 29 October 2002 as adequate?

Does the Commission agree that maintaining any burden of proof on travellers bringing in more than the
UK Government’s non-binding guideline amounts represents an infringement of the fundamental freedom
to transport goods for personal use within the EU single market?

Joint answer
to Written questions P-3216/02 and P-3230/02
given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(28 November 2002)

In order to establish the internal market in excise goods (which have always been sensitive to fraud,
particularly in higher taxing Member States), the Community deemed it necessary to provide for a
common excise duty system. This harmonised system entered into force on 1 January 1993.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001
of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council
Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1312/2002 (3) fixes the
indicative quantities for system B export licences other
than those sought in the context of food aid.

In the light of the information available to the Commis-
sion today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities
laid down for the current export period for oranges will
shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the
proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit
and vegetables sector.

(3)

To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences
for oranges exported after 7 November 2002 should be
rejected until the end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B export licences for oranges submitted
pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1312/2002, export
declarations for which are accepted after 7 November 2002
and before 16 November 2002, are hereby rejected.
