WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3199/98 by Honório NOVO to the Commission. Fisheries sector inquiry
C 207/36 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 21. 7. 1999 The problem of the development of anti-microbial resistance in pathogenic micro-organisms is becoming particularly serious. A number of converging reports have been published by the scientific community and by international or national organisations. This is the reason why the Commission has asked the scientific steering committee to examine this question and its relationship with the use of anti-microbials in human and veterinary medicine, animal husbandry and plant protection. If necessary, the Commission will propose measures in the light of this scientific opinion, which should be available around April 1999. (1) OJ L 230, 19. 8. 1991. (1999/C 207/047) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3194/98 by Joaquín Sisó Cruellas (PPE) to the Commission (27 October 1998) Subject: European Heritage Days The European Heritage Days were held in 44 countries of Europe on 25 and 26 September 1998. On these days, cathedrals which normally charge for entry offered free admission. The aim of the days is to familiarise people with the monuments which make up their heritage and make them aware of the need to conserve them. Did the European Union take part in the European Heritage Days? Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (14 December 1998) The European Heritage Days initiated by the Council of Europe in 1991 familiarise many members of the public with their European cultural heritage, by giving them free access to buildings normally closed to the public. In the context of its cultural action the Commission endeavours to promote public awareness of and access to the European cultural heritage. The Commission fully appreciates the impact on the public and the European dimension of the European heritage days, with which it has been financially associated for several years.
