Since Greece has not notified the Commission of its national measures transposing the Directive, it is
2.
currently impossible, on the basis of the information available, to check whether the Greek authorities
have set up databases on end-of-life vehicles and their treatment.

(2004/C 70 E/153)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2860/03

by Jens-Peter Bonde (EDD) to the Council

(26 September 2003)

Subject: Article III-302 of the draft Constitution for the European Union

Article III-302, paragraphs 4 and 5 state that:

If the Council of Ministers approves the European Parliament’s position, the proposed act shall

4.
be adopted.

If the Council of Ministers does not approve the European Parliament’s position, it shall adopt its

5.
position at first reading and communicate it to the European Parliament.

Article 251, paragraph 2 of the EC Treaty (which is replaced by Article III-302, paragraphs 4 and 5) states
that ‘The Council, acting by a qualified majority after obtaining the opinion of the European Parliament …’
It would appear, therefore, that the procedure is being changed from qualified majority to simple majority
at the Council’s first reading.

This interpretation is underpinned by Article III-302, paragraph 8, which states that ‘If, within three
months of receiving the European Parliament’s amendments, the Council of Ministers, acting by a qualified
majority …’, i.e. an explicit reference to qualified majority.

In the light of the above, will the Council say by which majority it acts under Article III-302, paragraphs 4
and 5, and in which article(s) that procedure is laid down?

Reply

(8 December 2003)

The Council has not taken any view on any specific provisions in the draft Constitutional treaty drawn up
by the Convention. This draft is on the table of the current Inter-Governmental Conference.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2862/03

(22 September 2003)

Subject: Scientology’s ‘European Public Affairs and Human Rights Office’

The setting up of the Church of Scientology’s European Public Affairs and Human Rights Office in
Brussels, and its lobbying activities mean that there is a risk that the work of the European Institutions are
confused with that of scientologists.
