ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS TO PRESIDENCY (Rule 28(2) of the Rules of Procedure)

Question N° 01/2001 by Mr Richard CORBETΤ (PSE)

Subject : Bureau decision on the publication on the Internet of MEPs' Financial Interests

Following the Bureau decision of 04.04.01 measures have been set in motion for the publication of Members' declaration of financial interests on the internet.

However, Members have been invited (Quaestors' circular 18/01) to "object" to the publication of their interests.

If any Member were to objet, what would be the procedure for dealing with such an objection ? Who would decide whether the reasons given are sufficient to allow a derogation from publication ? Has the Bureau laid down any criteria for evaluating objections ? Have there been any cases already ?

Answer

In line with the decision taken by the Bureau at its meeting of 2 & 4 April 2001, communicated to Members by means of Quaestors' Communication 18/01, Members were entitled to lodge express individual objections to the publication of their declarations of financial interests on the Internet. Members who lodged such objections were not requested to give reasons since, pursuant to the current rules, Members draw up their declarations of financial interests under their own responsibility. The issue of a procedure to deal with objections, and the existence of any cases as a result of that procedure, does not, therefore, arise.

MEMBERSHIP OF THE POLITICAL GROUPS

The President wishes to announce the judgment by the Court of First Instance, given in open court in Luxembourg on 2 October 2001, which rejected the applications by Members of the European Parliament, the Front National and the Lista Bonino against the European Parliament’s act of 14 September 1999 which stated that the Technical Group of Independent Members does not exist.

Consequently the suspension ordered by the President of the Court of First Instance on 25 November 1999 ceased to have effect from the date of judgment, 2 October 2001, in accordance with Article 107(3) of the Court’s Rules of Procedure.

Therefore the European Parliament’s act of 14 September 1999 again has full effect.

148/2001 Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union concerning East Timor Brussels, 31 August 2001

The European Union welcomes this historic moment for the East Timorese people, who have just taken part in the first democratic elections in their history. That crucial step paves the way for the establishment of political institutions for a new, democratic State.

The European Union is pleased to note the preliminary findings of its observer mission, reporting that elections to the East Timorese Constituent Assembly passed off calmly and peacefully on Thursday 30 August 2001.

The European Union congratulates the people of East Timor and their leaders, who have embarked upon a long independence process, now bringing its reward. The Union also applauds the United Nations, whose transitional administration of the territory enables the process to be brought to fruition.

The European Union takes this opportunity to reiterate its full support for consolidation of the path to independence and would encourage East Timor's political representatives to follow the popular will freely expressed in these elections.

The Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union, the associated countries Cyprus, Malta and Turkey, and the EFTA countries members of the European Economic Area, align themselves with this declaration.

Declaration from the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on talks between the government of Nepal and the Maoist insurgents Brussels, 13 September 2001

The European Union welcomes the cease-fire between the Government of Nepal and the CPN (Maoist), and the first round of negotiations between the two sides which took place on 30 August. The European Union encourages both sides to work seriously and constructively towards the second round of negotiations.

The EU urges the two sides to seek a peaceful resolution of the conflict within the framework of the rule of law, respect for human rights, and multi-party democracy.

The European Union notes with concern recent reports of widespread intimidation and extortion of various segments of Nepalese society, as well as demands addressed to various development projects and international agencies by the CPN (Maoist). The EU calls on those responsible to cease such coercive activities immediately, in order to create a conducive and constructive atmosphere for the dialogue process.

The European Union is pleased to note that an inter-Korean ministerial meeting was held from 15 to 18 September 2001.

The Union welcomes the encouraging results of that meeting, such as the announcement of a further reunion of families, a new round of inter-governmental talks and the resumption of some projects such as the construction of a rail link between North and South. It hopes that the inter-Korean talks will lead to a second summit as envisaged in the Joint Declaration of 15 June 2000.

The European Union hopes that the DPRK will become more fully involved with the international community. In particular, the EU would warmly welcome the rapid resumption of contacts between the DPRK and the USA.

The Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union, Cyprus, Malta and Turkey, as fellow associated countries, and those EFTA countries which are members of the European Economic Area endorse this declaration.

The European Union expresses its satisfaction at the progress made in the dialogue between the three Mano River Union countries, in particular at the recent meetings held by their Ministers for Foreign Affairs in Monrovia, Freetown and Conakry. The European Union welcomes the declarations made and the commitments entered into at those meetings concerning in particular joint action by those States against the groups involved in the events which destabilise the region, the establishment of a joint patrol at the borders between the three countries and combating the proliferation of small arms. It calls on the Mano River Union countries to make progress on those issues as quickly as possible. The European Union also welcomes the prospect of a meeting between the Heads of State of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia in January 2002 as proposed by the Ministers for Foreign Affairs.

The European Union wishes to assure the three Heads of State of its support in their search for a solution to the conflicts persisting in the sub-region. It reiterates its willingness to contribute to the dialogue between

Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on the elections in Fiji Brussels, 28 September 2001

The European Union welcomes the generally free and fair elections held in Fiji, which reflect current opinion in that country.

However, the European Union notes the concerns expressed both in Fiji itself and by the international community regarding the formation of the new Government by the new Prime Minister designate, Laisenia Qarase.

The European Union calls upon all political parties in Fiji to resolve this question as rapidly as possible and to establish a Government which conforms to the provisions of the Constitution with a view to a return to national reconciliation and agreement in Fiji.

The Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union, Cyprus, Malta and Turkey, as fellow associated countries, and those EFTA countries which are members of the European Economic Area endorse this declaration.

157/2001

Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on Eritrea Brussels, 3 October 2001

The European Union deplores the decision of the Eritrean Government to declare persona non grata H.E. Antonio Bandini, Ambassador of Italy in Eritrea and Representative of the Presidency of the European Union in Asmara.

The European Union notes that this decision was notified only a few hours after a demarche was carried out by all the EU Ambassadors resident in Asmara to express the gravest concern about recent events in Eritrea which had led to the imprisonment of a number of known personalities advocating democratic reforms and to the suppression of the independent press.

Bulletin 22.10.2001 - EN - PE 305.000 GENERAL INFORMATION 41

In the same demarche, the EU had underlined that the abovementioned events contradicted the declared policy of the Eritrean Government and the commitments undertaken in favour of democracy, rule of law, human rights and good governance.

The EU stresses that the expulsion of the Representative of the Presidency of the European Union seriously undermines the EU relations with Eritrea and will lead to a review of such relations in the light of the Cotonou Agreement.

The EU confirms its commitment to support the development of Eritrea, as well as peace, stability and cooperation in the region. The EU underlines that essential factors of development are the building of democratic institutions, rule of law, respect of human rights, freedom of the press and growth of a strong civil society.

158/2001

Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union concerning the elections in Bangladesh Brussels, 5 October 2001

The European Union sent an observer mission to those elections. It is pleased to see that, according to that mission's findings, the electoral process was conducted satisfactorily, freely and impartially. However, it deplores the acts of violence which marred the election campaign.

The European Union appeals to the new Prime Minister to work for the consolidation of the democratic process and for economic development in a spirit of constructive cooperation with the opposition. It would also encourage the opposition to play its part in a peaceful change of power.

The Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union, the associated countries Cyprus, Malta and Turkey, and the EFTA countries members of the European Economic Area, align themselves with this declaration. ______

159/01

Declaration by the Presidency, on behalf of the European Union, condemning the murder of Ms Araujo Noguera, former Minister for Culture of Colombia Brussels, 8 October 2001

The European Union was dismayed by and strongly condemns the murder of Ms Consuelo Araujo Noguera, formerly Minister for Culture of the Republic of Colombia and wife of the Attorney-General. This crime is one of many acts of violence committed in recent weeks by subversive armed groups, particularly against officials or representatives of the Nation.

Bulletin 22.10.2001 - EN - PE 305.000 42 GENERAL INFORMATION

The European Union expresses its most sincere condolences to Ms Noguera's family and to the Colombian people and Government and reiterates its support for the efforts being made by the democratic forces in Colombian society to achieve peace.

The Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union, the associated countries Cyprus, Malta and Turkey, and the EFTA countries, members of the European Economic Area align themselves with this declaration.

160/2001

Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union the Central and Eastern European countries associated with the European Union, the associated countries Cyprus, Malta and Turkey and the EFTA countries belonging to the European Economic Area upon the nomination of the new Prime Minister of Belarus Brussels, 10 October 2001

The European Union notes the nomination of Mr Gennady Novitsky to serve as Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus and wishes to take this opportunity to reiterate its expectations of the country.

The European Union would encourage the new government to make a lasting and increasingly significant commitment to the path of democracy and respect for human rights, as requirements for normalisation of relations with the EU.

The European Union would like to see Belarus in time regain its place within the international community and participate in regional stability. It does not wish Belarus to be isolated and is prepared to continue supporting its transition to democracy and a market economy, in cooperation with all the political forces in Belarus which are willing to work to that end.

The European Union looks to the new government to restore a constructive dialogue with civil society in close cooperation with the Advisory and Monitoring Group of the OSCE and to promote the existence of free, independent media.

The European Union reaffirms its expectations as regards respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It would point more particularly to its desire to see the various disappearances cleared up. In addition, without wishing to interfere in internal judicial proceedings, the European Union calls for a review of the heavy prison sentence imposed on Professor Bandazhevsky, which the Union considers disproportionate to the charges against him. ______
