C 102/132 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 3. 4. 98 Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (23 September 1997) The Commission is not aware of any steps against Dr Viel. Any such steps would be a matter to be dealt with under French law. The Commission would have no competence in such a matter. As regards an investigation of the Cap de la Hague reprocessing plant by the Commission, the Honourable Member is asked to refer to the reply it gave to written question P-2494/97 by M. Smith (1). (1) OJ C 60, 25. 2. 1998, p. 135. (98/C 102/198) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2833/97 by Nuala Ahern (V) to the Commission (1 September 1997) Subject: Khmelnitski Unit 2 and Rovno Unit 4 in Ukraine (k2/r4) and the Nuclear Safety Account at EBRD What position has the Commission taken within the Nuclear Safety Account of the EBRD, where the purpose is to increase reactor safety in the East, on its decision concerning the proposed completion of the nuclear reactors in the Ukraine, since the Union is a contributor to the Nuclear Safety Account? Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (3 October 1997) The proposed completion of the two nuclear reactors in Ukraine (project R4/K2) is not a project of the nuclear safety account of the European bank for reconstruction and development (EBRD). Ukraine has introduced a request for loan financing of this project under the EBRDís normal operations. Financing is also envisaged under the Euratom loan facility in accordance with the established procedures. (98/C 102/199) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2835/97 by Wolfgang Kreissl-Do¤rfler (V) to the Commission (1 September 1997) Subject: The EEC-CIH agreement on harbours in relation to the Hidrovia project In a previous written question (E-1689/97) (1) I asked the Commission for information on the agreement signed by the Commission and the Intergovernmental Committee on the Hidrovia (CIH), the contract signed by the Commission with the European company Roggemarine and the terms of reference of the study commissioned from this company. The Commission informs me that the contract signed with the European company was signed on 20 December 1996, i. e. ten days after the Commission had signed the agreement with the Intergovernmental Committee on the Hidrovia (CIH). I should like to know how the Commission was able to complete the call for tenders procedure (Article 113 of the Financial Regulation) in such a short time. The Commission has also supplied me with some information regarding the environmental section of the contract signed with Roggemarine. We thank the Commission for this information, but would nevertheless like precise information about the terms of reference of the study or, preferably, the text itself
