In the course of 2002, the Commission has worked on developing the concept of environmental targets
for transport further inter alia based on advice from its Joint Expert Group on Transport and Environment,
jointly managed by Directorate General (DG) Transport and Energy and DG Environment.

The present state-of-play is that discussions are still ongoing in the Commission with regard to defining an
appropriate approach for setting targets. As a result, the envisaged Communication is now included in the
Commission’s Work Programme for 2003 and thus expected in the course of 2003. This Communication
will set out general principles for the use of environmental targets for transport policy and identify those
environmental problems for which such targets could be of use at Community level.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3770/02

by Bart Staes (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(16 December 2002)

Subject: Conversion of the arms industry

Before the reform of the Structural Funds, the Konver programme was implemented. It made funding
available to the arms industry, if the latter so wished, to enable arms manufacturers to switch to civil
production. Such conversion measures for the arms industry now form part of the normal budget for the
Structural Funds.

How much money has been spent on assisting conversion measures in the arms industry in the past
15 years? Can the Commission indicate, for each Member State, how these funds have been used?

In the specific case of Belgium, can it indicate which companies or authorities have taken advantage of this
assistance?

Has overall assistance with the conversion of the arms industry been evaluated, and can the Commission
accordingly state how many jobs have been transferred from the arms industry to the civil sector?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(16 January 2003)

The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its
findings as soon as possible.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3774/02

by Margrietus van den Berg (PSE) to the Council

(16 December 2002)

Subject: Delay in implementing the diamond certification system

Is it true that the certificates required for the diamond trade have not yet been printed?

Has this anything to do with opposition to the Commission proposal from Belgium and the United
Kingdom?

Is it correct that this will result in a delay in implementing the certification system?

Can the Council give an assurance that the system will come into force on 1 February 2003 if it looks as if
it is unable to meet the deadline of 1 January 2003 announced earlier?
