    WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1720/97 by Heidi HAUTALA to the Council. UN Declaration on indigenous people

    Official Journal C 196 , 22/06/1998 P. 0001


    WRITTEN QUESTION E-1720/97 by Heidi Hautala (V) to the Council (22 May 1997)

    Subject: UN Declaration on indigenous people

    Parliament adopted a resolution on the draft UN Declaration on Indigenous Peoples in November 1995 (B4-1415/95) ((OJ C 323, 4.12.1995, p. 117. )). Since then, two sessions of the special Human Rights Commission's working group on the Declaration have taken place.

    1. Have EU Member States participated in the work of this working group?

    2. If so, has there been a common EU position?

    3. If not, why not?

    4. Is the Council considering discussion of a common position with regard to the Declaration, and/or with regard to the issue of indigenous peoples in general?

    Answer (30 March 1998)

    There has been no common EU position on the subject matter of the Honourable Member of Parliament's question. The Council is not in a position to indicate which EU Member States have participated in the work of the special Human Rights Commission's working group on the Declaration. This is a matter of national competence of individual EU Member States.

    At present, the Council is not considering a common position neither with regard to the Declaration nor with regard to the issue of indigenous peoples in general.
