C 223/72 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 17. 7. 98 Although the Commission promised to contact the relevant authorities in the Member States about the matter, can it say why these moves have not produced more positive results with a view to it becoming general practice for the airlines of the EU Member States to be identified with the European emblem all over the world? (1) OJ C 136, 27. 5. 1991, p. 11. Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (2 April 1998) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to his Written Question E-583/95 (1). That answer is still valid.

(98/C 223/89) WRITTEN QUESTION E-4210/97 by Bryan Cassidy (PPE) to the Commission (21 January 1998) Subject: Judgment of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on 26 October 1996 in the case of Elida Gibbs Limited (Case C-317/94) This ECJ judgment appears to be frustrated by its non-application in Germany and its partial application in France and Greece. In particular, in the case of preliminary rulings relating to the interpretation of the Community law on VAT, is it the case that the European Commission must, within two months of a decision being released, write to each of the Member States asking how they apply the measure in question?
