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 ofMembers' declaration of financial interests on the internet.

However, Members have been invited (Quaestors' circular 18/01) to "object" to the publication oftheir 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 casesalready ?

Answer

In line with the decision taken by the Bureau at its meeting of 2 & 4 April 2001, communicated toMembers by means of Quaestors' Communication 18/01, Members were entitled to lodge expressindividual 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 thecurrent rules, Members draw up their declarations of financial interests under their ownresponsibility. The issue of a procedure to deal with objections, and the existence of any cases as aresult 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 inLuxembourg on 2 October 2001, which rejected the applications by Members of the European Parliament,the Front National and the Lista Bonino against the European Parliaments act of 14 September 1999 whichstated 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 1999ceased to have effect from the date of judgment, 2 October 2001, in accordance with Article 107(3) of theCourts Rules of Procedure.

Therefore the European Parliaments act of 14 September 1999 again has full effect.

Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Unionon 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 EuropeanUnion in Asmara.

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


Bulletin 22.10.2001 - EN - PE 305.000

In the same demarche, the EU had underlined that the abovementioned events contradicted the declaredpolicy 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 seriouslyundermines the EU relations with Eritrea and will lead to a review of such relations in the light of theCotonou Agreement.

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