WRITTEN QUESTION E-2755/03

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(15 September 2003)

Subject: Requirement for nationality to be listed on driving licences

A member of my constituency in the south-west of England has just received his new driving licence
which states his place of birth, Ireland. He is concerned about this, having suffered discrimination because
of his nationality throughout life, particularly in the 1970s when many people from Ireland living in
England were victims of prejudice both at work and in many other aspects of their daily lives.

As a result of this, although proud of his Irish heritage, he would rather be identified as a citizen of the EU
on his licence, to avoid further possible discrimination. What provisions does the Commission have to
protect citizens of the EU who have suffered in this way? Are there any plans to amend the regulations
concerning driving licences?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(27 October 2003)

Council Directive 91/439/EEC of 29 July 1991, on driving licences (1) foresees that the date and place of
birth of the holder are mentioned on the driving licence. These entries are necessary in order to allow a
precise identification of the holder by the public authorities, notably for enforcement purposes. The
Commission does not intend to propose a modification of this provision.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2765/03

by Raffaele Lombardo (PPE-DE)
and Francesco Musotto (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(16 September 2003)

Subject: Amending Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 for the use of concentrated musts and rectified

concentrated musts

The rationale for the European Union’s common agricultural policy (CAP) lies in developing the rural
economy, sustaining agricultural production, increasing crop diversification and improving the standard
and high quality of food and security of supply.

As is clear from the Agenda 2000 programme which the Berlin European Council adopted in December
1999, any reform of the CAP must pursue the aims of environmental sustainability, strengthening the
economy of rural areas and consolidating the cultural heritage and social justice.
