International Instrument for the Preservation of Cultural Diversity, As Commissioner Reding Stated to the House During the Debat C 84 E/630 Official Journal of the European Union EN 3.4.2004 international instrument for the preservation of cultural diversity, as Commissioner Reding stated to the House during the debate on the Prets report last January 2004 in Strasbourg. It would appear that the rock star David Bowie’s concert at the Hong Kong Exhibition and Entertainment Centre next month is under threat because of his drummer’s links to the Falun Gong movement. A spokeswoman for the Hong Kong Association of Falun Gong has declared: ‘I am confident that the authorities in Hong Kong will still allow freedom of expression …’, but the Hong Kong Immigration Department has refused to comment on the rumours and has not yet confirmed its authorisation. 1. What information does the Commission have about this issue? 2. How does the Commission intend to approach the Chinese authorities in order to ensure that Mr Bowie’s professional artistic activities will not be subject to the same sort of political censorship as that suffered by the Falun Gong movement? Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission (5 April 2004) The concert to which the Honourable Member refers was held in Hong Kong on Sunday 14 March. David Bowie’s drummer, Mr Sterling Campbell, took part as planned. (2004/C 84 E/0708) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0570/04 by Herbert Bösch (PSE) to the Commission (26 February 2004) Subject: Commission officials on leave According to the answer to my Written Question E-3061/02 (1), there were over 566 officials on leave for personal reasons on 10 December 2002. A closer look at the circumstances of 400 officials showed that around 10 % are otherwise employed. 1. Can the Commission give an idea of how many officials were definitely on personal leave at the end of 2003 and how many of them were otherwise employed? 2. What measures has the Commission taken to prevent conflicts of interests among EU officials who are on leave for personal reasons, yet are actively employed during this time? 3. Has the firm mentioned in the Agence Europe report of 30 September 2002, GPlus Europe, withdrawn definitively from the contract as part of the ASCII Consortium or does it in some way continue to be involved in carrying out the contract? (1) OJ C 155 E, 3.7.2003, p. 83. Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (15 April 2004) 1. As at 31 December 2003, 532 officials were on leave on personal grounds. Of these, 18 % indicated another professional activity as the reason for this leave. It should be noted that, provided that appropriate permission is obtained, it is entirely compatible with provisions for leave on personal grounds for an official to undertake other work indeed it may be in the interests of the official to broaden his or her professional experience. 3.4.2004 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 84 E/631 2. As the Commission reported in its reply to the Honourable Member’s Written Question E-3061/02, officials on such leave continue to be subject to the provisions of Article 12 of the Staff Regulations which require officials to obtain permission before engaging in any outside activity, and which allow for refusal of permission, or imposition of conditions, where it is considered that the activity would otherwise be ‘detrimental to the work of the Communities’. The Commission would consider conflict of interest as being ‘detrimental’ to the Community, and would thus take appropriate action to prevent such conflicts. Meanwhile, Article 17 requires officials whether in activity or on leave on personal grounds not to disclose to unauthorised persons ‘information not already made public’. Any official working in the private sector and making use of such privileged information would be considered to have infringed this obligation and would thus be at risk of disciplinary proceedings. Until 2003, the examination of the files related to outside activity was done by the Directorate-General to which the official belonged, or by the Directorate-General for Personnel and Administration, depending on his or her grade. In order to reinforce that control, in 2003 the Commission introduced a procedure involving both Directorates-General. A website on the Personnel and Administration Directorate General Intranet was created on 15 December 2003 in order to improve officials’ access to information and rules related to leave on personal grounds. Furthermore, the application forms to be filled in when requesting such leave have been modified to allow a better analysis of the request from the official. Further decisions on relevant matters are being prepared by the Commission in the light of the amendments made to the Staff Regulations which enter into force on 1 May 2004. 3. The presence of an official on leave for personal grounds within G-Plus, the company subcontracted by ASCII, led to the suspension of the Europa contract on 27 September 2002 so that an examination could take place in the light of the problems of perception that had arisen. The Honourable Member may wish to note that on 9 October 2002 G-Plus informed the Commission of its decision to withdraw from the consortium established by ASCII for the implementation of the framework contract. The Commission subsequently re-activated its contract with ASCII. (2004/C 84 E/0709) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0576/04 by Philip Claeys (NI) to the Commission (26 February 2004) Subject: Electioneering activities of Romano Prodi Four left-wing parties are due to contest the European elections in Italy jointly under the ‘Prodi List’. Press reports suggest that the President of the Commission will not be standing himself on this list but will be playing an active part in the election campaign. He is reportedly involved in the selection of candidates. It would in fact be unlikely that the President of the Commission would lend his name to the list without being closely involved in the whole campaign. Although these new party political activities will undoubtedly take up a great deal of his time, the Commission President has stated that he will remain in office until October. Does Mr Prodi regard the office of President of the European Commission as a full-time job? How much time does he think he will be spending each week on the election campaign in Italy? Does the Commission consider it desirable for its members to be actively involved in election campaigns? What arrangements have been made within the Commission? Who will take over Mr Prodi’s duties in his absence?.

EARL SLICK p98 & MORE... Recording His Final Album Future Publishing Limited, Quay House, The Ambury, Bath, BA1 1UA Telephone 01225 442244 Email [email protected] Online www.guitarist.co.uk Changes Like many others, I think everyone at Guitarist had more or less considered David Bowie to be immortal. Likewise, Lemmy seemed too much a part of rock’s scenery to leave us so soon. As we went to press with this issue, we also learned the sad news that Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey had passed (look out for a full tribute next month), making this winter the worst in memory for losing legends. The only very slight consolation for all this is that it prompted us to listen again to the music that made them household names. In the case of Bowie, it was a reminder of the astonishing breadth and ambition of his music-making (see cover feature, p76). Rightly regarded as classic now, Bowie’s music must have been sensational when he was starting out – and I’m sure not everyone ‘got it’ at the time. Passing years have a habit of making the new and strange in music feel comfortably familiar, and finally classic. That thought has been a reminder of the importance of seeking out uncommon sounds, and not just sticking to your comfort zone of old favourites.

  • ITALIAN BOWIE Tutto Di David Bowie in Italia E Visto Dall'italia INTRODUZIONE
    Davide Riccio ITALIAN BOWIE Tutto di David Bowie in Italia e visto dall'Italia INTRODUZIONE Bowie ascoltava la musica italiana? Ogni nazione avrebbe voluto avere i propri Elvis, i propri Beatles, i propri Rolling Stones, il proprio Bob Dylan o il proprio "dio del rock" David Bowie, giusto per fare qualche nome: fare cioè propri i più grandi tra i grandi della storia del rock. O incoronarne in patria un degno corrispettivo. I paesi che non siano britannici o statunitensi perciò di loro lingua franca mondiale sono tuttavia fuori dal gioco: il rock è innanzi tutto un fatto di lingua inglese. Non basta evidentemente cantare in inglese senza essere inglesi, irlandesi o statunitensi et similia per uguagliare in popolarità internazionale gli originari o gli oriundi ed entrare di diritto nella storia internazionale del rock. A volte poi, pur appartenendo alla stessa lingua inglese, il cercarne o crearne un corrispettivo è operazione comunque inutile ai fini del fare o non fare la storia del rock, oltre che un fatto assai discutibile, così come avvenne a esempio negli States in piena Beatlemania con i Monkees, giusto per citare un gruppo nel quale cantava un certo David o Davy Jones, lo stesso che - per evitare omonimia e confusione - portò David Robert Jones, ispirandosi al soldato Jim Bowie e al suo particolare coltello, il cosiddetto Bowie knife, ad attribuirsi un nome d'arte: David Bowie. I Monkees nacquero nel 1965 su idea del produttore discografico Don Kirshner per essere la risposta rivale (anzitutto commerciale) americana ai Beatles, quindi i Beatles americani o gli anti-Beatles.

  • “Andrew Shapiro Future Classical” by Mark Prendergast (With Spotify Links)
    Listening guide to Andrew Shapiro; excerpted from “Andrew Shapiro ­ Future Classical” by Mark Prendergast (with Spotify links) ...Andrew Shapiro began his recording career with music having its antecedents in the works of Philip Glass, namely the vocal song albums Songs From Liquid Days (1986) and Hydrogen Jukebox (1990). While living in a San Francisco art gallery in 2000, Shapiro began working on his first album, the EP I nvisible Days (2003), on a Yamaha EX5 Synthesizer. I nvisible Days introduced Shapiro to the world as a very cool sound designer of vocal music. Aided by the airy vocals of Keisha Hutchins and Peter Hess’s flute, the results are four pieces of sonic precision effortlessly marrying American Minimalism with a neo­‘80s New Wave synth sensibility. Even Richard Serra gets a tribute in song and sound. Further experiments with synthesis, MIDI and sequencers produced Quiet Kissing (2006), another EP, recorded in Los Angeles and Brooklyn. Divided equally between instrumental and vocal tracks the EP begins where I nvisible Days l eft off with a gently percussive song which then moves into Ambient territory with two instrumentals, the shimmering Q uick and the real meat of the project Q uiet Kissing , a solo piano piece which seems to hang in space, its beautiful logic unfolding like a water lily gliding on water. In 2008 during a European tour Shapiro met Michel Geiss in Paris, who suggested a piano album. The 2009 album Numbers, Colors And People (recorded in one day at Philip Glass’s studio) was all instrumental piano with a soft­pedal style that would become his trademark.
