WRITTEN QUESTION E-2569/03

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(6 August 2003)

Subject: Bioptic driving

Will the Commission state in which Member States bioptic driving is currently allowed?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(11 September 2003)

As the Commission indicated to the Honourable Member in its reply to his Written Question E-1231/
03 (1), the Commission is not aware of any Member State allowing to drive with the use of bioptic lenses.
Moreover, no experiments have been conducted at any larger scale in Europe. Therefore, it is not expected
that bioptic lenses will be allowed to be used in the near future, as it should first be thoroughly
investigated and discussed.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2586/03

by Maurizio Turco (NI) to the Commission

(8 August 2003)

Subject: New information concerning the refunds for agricultural products exported from the Member

States to the Vatican City State

It appears that, in reply to questions E-1477/03 to E-1480/03 (1) on refunds for agricultural products
exported from the Member States to the Vatican City State, Mr Fischler, Commissioner, stated on 21 May
2003 that the Commission was gathering the information it needed in order to be able to answer the
questions and that it would pass on the results of its research as soon as possible.

Furthermore, following correspondence with the Italian State Customs Agency (which had been asked for
the same information as was requested from the Commission), the questioner was told on 27 May that,
unfortunately, not all the information requested was available, but from what was available it emerged
that:

(cid:1) the average number of potential beneficiaries registered in 1989 was 32 600;

(cid:1) in 2001, on the basis of data received from the Rome Customs Office and cross-checked with
information from the Vatican City, the Vatican imported 548 925 kg of meat and 288 351 kg of dairy
products, whilst data supplied by theVatican for the same items indicated imports of 505 553 and
271 699 kg for 2001 and of 712 232 and 293 543 kg for 2000;

(cid:1) as regards exports from Italy to the Vatican, the Italian Customs system shows that Italy by itself

exported:

(a) meat: 1998, 250 473 kg; 1999, 1 254 200 kg; 2000, 386 832 kg; 2001, 377 028 kg;

(b)

sugar: 1998, 71 040 kg; 1999, 695 500 kg.
