However, following the written question, the Commission decided to open an own-initiative investigation,
registered as No 2004/2069, in order to clarify the facts and draw the appropriate conclusions.

The investigation is being carried out by the Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection,
which is the service responsible for Directive 90/427/EC (1) on the zootechnical and genealogical
conditions governing intra-Community trade in equidae.

A letter was sent to the Italian authorities on 31 March 2004 asking for confirmation of the existence of
this test and requesting a copy of the relevant national legislation.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1222/04

by Robert Evans (PSE) to the Commission

(26 April 2004)

Subject: River access

Is the Commission aware of the diversity across the EU in terms of rights of passage along national rivers?
Some countries appear to have almost completely free access for the public, and others, including England
and Wales, are highly restricted.

Is the Commisison aware of studies or indeed has it conducted studies into this matter? Does it have any
plans to suggest a more unified approach to river access?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(29 April 2004)

The Commission has no jurisdiction to deal with the question asked, which is a matter solely for the
national authorities concerned.

Protocol of Amendment to the International Convention on the simplification and harmonisation
of customs procedures (Kyoto Convention)

(2004/485/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Com-
munity, and in particular Article 133 in conjunction with
Article 300(2), first subparagraph, first sentence thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Decision 2003/231/EC (1) authorises the Community's
accession to the Protocol of Amendment to the Kyoto
Convention, with the exception of Appendix III and
provides that the deposit of the Community's instrument
of accession must take place at the same time as the
deposit of
instruments of accession by the Member
States.

There is a possibility that some Member States may not
have completed their national ratification procedures by
30 April 2004.

Some of the States which will be joining the European
Union on 1 May 2004 in accordance with the 2003
Accession Treaty, have already deposited with the Secre-
tary-General of the Customs Cooperation Council their
instruments of accession to the Protocol of Amendment
to the Kyoto Convention, including Appendices I and II.

It is necessary to avoid a legal situation in which some
Member States are members of an international conven-
tion to which the Community has not yet acceded,
although the majority of the Convention's provisions fall
within the exclusive competence of the Community.

(5)

Decision 2003/231/EC should therefore be amended
accordingly,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The second sentence of Article 3(1) of Decision 2003/231/EC
shall be replaced by the following:

‘Such deposit shall take place on 30 April 2004, at the
same time as the deposit of instruments of accession by the
Member States that have completed their national accession
procedures at that date.’
