It aims at adapting the scope of existing Council Regulations (EEC) No 3528 /86 and (EEC) No 2158/92 to
provide a flexible monitoring scheme to assess forest ecosystem conditions in a broader context. It also
simplifies existing activities by regrouping elements of both Regulations under a single framework
Regulation covering the protection and monitoring of forests.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2498/03

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(25 July 2003)

Subject: Investment

Further to the Commission’s very interesting answer to my question E-1350/03 (1) on 22 May 2003
concerning foreign direct investment into the eurozone countries and the non-eurozone EU Member
States, is the Commission now in a position to update those figures given in its tables to include last year
(2002)? If not, when will it be able to do so?

(1) See page 8.

Answer given by Mr Solbes Mira on behalf of the Commission

(3 September 2003)

Updated tables are sent direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament’s Secretariat. The data for
2002 are preliminary estimates sent by Member States to Eurostat in June 2003 together with revised
2001 data. For Denmark and Spain, data exclude reinvested earnings. For Greece and Sweden, data exclude
reinvested earnings in some cases. Aggregates include estimated reinvested earnings in all these cases.
Preliminary data for 2002 and revised data for 2001 are not available for partner ‘Eurozone countries’.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2515/03

by Herbert Bösch (PSE) to the Commission

(29 July 2003)

Subject: Opinion of the OLAF Supervisory Committee on the Eurostat Task Force

On 9 July 2003 the Commission decided to set up a Task Force to investigate the complaints against
Eurostat. The Task Force is intended to speed up the internal and external enquiries previously managed by
the OLAF Anti-Fraud Office alone.

This infringes OLAF’s powers to conduct investigations independently, which Parliament and the Council
expressly guaranteed in Regulation (EC) 1073/1999 (1) of 25 May 1999.

Before the decision of 9 July 2003, did the Director and/or the Commission consult the OLAF Supervisory
Committee, which has the task of safeguarding the independence of the Anti-Fraud Office?

If not, why not?
