(cid:1) The Commission proposal does not contain a provision making the proposed quarterly financial
information subject to an audit or an auditor’s review. No Member State currently requires such an
involvement of auditors in the case of quarterly reports either. The Commission is therefore not in a
position to provide the requested estimates.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1875/03

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(6 June 2003)

Subject: On-site visits

Will the Commission estimate the number of occasions over the last year in which Member State
regulators availed themselves of powers to conduct on site visits prior to the approval of a prospectus?

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(1 July 2003)

The Commission has not sought to estimate the number of occasions of on-site visits prior to the approval
of a prospectus because it does not believe this number will allow it to draw conclusions on the usefulness
of on site inspections.

The Commission believes this number is very small and perhaps close to zero. However, it should be
mentioned that the Commission has checked how many competent authorities have the powers to carry
on-site inspections in the context of the approval of a prospectus. At the request of the Commission, the
Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR) has sent a questionnaire to its members, covering this
issue. Six competent authorities from five Member States have this power (Spain, Italy, the Netherlands,
Portugal and Finland). The Danish Financial Services Authority (FSA) has the power to carry on site
inspections limited to financial
it must be noted that some other competent
authorities, notably in France and in the United Kingdom, do have this kind of power, directly or
indirectly, in a more general context related to enforcement either of market abuse or of other disclosure
obligations.

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(6 June 2003)

Subject: Price alignment in the euro-area

Will the Commission examine the evidence of any price alignment for similar goods and services within
the euro-area compared with the EU as a whole and the non-euro EU Member States? How significant has
this alignment, if any, been? How much further is it likely to go?
