WRITTEN QUESTION E-1488/03 by Johanna Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR) to the Council. Phone taps in the Justus Lipsius building.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1488/03

by Johanna Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR) to the Council

Subject: Phone taps in the Justus Lipsius building

(2 May 2003)

On 19 March the Council announced that its security services had discovered on 28 February 2003 that a
number of delegations, including those of Spain, Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Austria,
had had their telephones tapped in the EU Council building in Brussels. This news is particularly serious
and gives rise to the fear that phone tapping equipment has also been installed in other Community
buildings. At the meeting of the European Parliament’s Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights,
Justice and Home Affairs the Council representative confirmed that an investigation had begun.

1.

2.

Does the Council now know who was responsible for installing these phone taps?

If not, what steps does the Council intend taking to find out?

3. What action will be taken against those responsible for installing the phone taps?

Can the Council say whether similar discoveries have been made in other Community institutions in

4.
the past?

5. What measures must be taken to prevent similar situations in the medium term?

Are systematic checks for phone taps made at meetings involving information which should not be

6.
made available to third countries?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-1177/03 and E-1488/03

(2 October 2003)

There is little the Council can add to the press statement on this subject issued on 19 March 2003 since
the matter is now sub judice.

The following clarifications are given in response to the specific points raised by the Honorable member:

1. The Council has not yet been able to determine who was responsible for installing the electronic
devices linked to the certain telephone lines which were discovered in the Justus Lipsius Building on
28 February 2003.

2.

Following a countermeasures operation and a preliminary internal investigation, the Council decided
on 14 April to bring an action for criminal proceedings to be taken against person or persons
unknown on the basis of the Belgian penal code. The Council will give full assistance to the Belgian
judicial authorities in conducting their investigation.

3.

Since this is now the subject of a formal criminal investigation, it will be up to the courts to determine
the penalties to be applied to persons found guilty.

4. The Council is not aware of similar discoveries in other EU institutions in the past.

5. and 6. The Council has already put in place measures to prevent similar situations in future. The
Honorable member will understand, however, that it would be inappropriate for the Council to
comment publicly on these or any other security measures taken to protect classified or sensitive
information handled in the Council.
WRITTEN QUESTION E-1477/03 by Maurizio Turco (NI) to the Commission. Refunds on exports from Member States to the Vatican City State of butter and other fats and oils derived from milk, milk products.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1477/03

by Maurizio Turco (NI) to the Commission

(2 May 2003)

Subject: Refunds on exports from Member States to the Vatican City State of butter and other fats and oils

derived from milk, milk products

A table containing data on the quantities and value in euro of products eligible for export refunds was
appended to the supplementary answer to question P-3202/02 (1).

Examination of this table shows that, for exports to the Vatican City State of ‘butter and other fats and oils
derived from milk, milk products’ (code 0405):

(a)

(b)

in 1998 exports from Austria totalled 155 kg for a refund of EUR 272 200,57, equivalent to aid of
EUR 1 756,13 per kg of butter exported;

in 1999 exports from Italy totalled 0,064 kg for a refund of EUR 402,90, equivalent to aid of
EUR 6 295,31 per kg of butter exported;

In all likelihood, 155 000 kg were exported in 1998 and around 230 kg in 2000, at a more credible level
of aid of between EUR 1,76 and EUR 1,75 per kg of butter exported.

If one were to make these corrections, total exports would be 174 215,50 kg for 1998, 156 230 kg for
1999, 145 560 kg for 2000 and 146 200 kg for 2001.

Under Regulation (EC) No 419/2002 (2), it should also be possible for the tabular data, extracted from the
CATS database, to be used for monitoring and forecasting purposes.

It is specified in the table that the units of measurement, weights or quantities and the amounts in euro are
provided by the Member States.

In the light of the above, could the Commission indicate:

(cid:1) whether the data supplied by the Member States are checked and who is responsible for doing this;

(cid:1) whether the quantities of butter and other fats and oils derived from milk, and milk products exported
from Member States to the Vatican City State were subject to any monitoring, what form that this
took, and what forecasts were made in respect of these quantities;

(cid:1) whether it does not consider the level of imports to the minuscule Vatican City State to be too high,

or in other words that it can be assumed these products are sold in Italy?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(23 June 2003)

The Commission was aware of the Galicia Plan’s existence, thanks to contact with the Spanish Government
and authorities and to the information supplied by the Honourable Member. The plan does indeed provide
for major investment in the region, some of which could no doubt be part-financed by the Structural Funds
or the Cohesion Fund.

With regard to the Galicia Plan, the Commission would ask the Honourable Member to kindly refer to its
answer to his oral question H-0144/03 during the April 2003 plenary session (1).

In addition, the Commission recently adopted a communication on action to deal with the effects of the
Prestige disaster (2). With regard to the Structural Funds or the Cohesion Fund, the Commission has
stressed on several occasions its willingness to cooperate with the Spanish authorities in order to help
combat the aftermath of the disaster, within the limits of the applicable regulatory provisions.

In this context, the Commission would ask the Honourable Member to refer to the joint answer to
questions E-3597/02 and E-3598/02 (3).

(1) Written answer of 8.4.2003.
(2) COM(2003) 105 final.

by Claude Moraes (PSE) to the Commission

(2 May 2003)
