WRITTEN QUESTION E-3413/97 by Joaquim Miranda (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (28 October 1997)

Subject: Visit by the President of the Commission to Portugal

The President of the Commission travelled to Portugal on 7 October 1997 to take part in a seminar, organized by the Jacques Delors Information Centre, on 'Europe's future - a model for the 21st century'.

As was widely reported in the media, meetings took place with the Portuguese Prime Minister (who is also Secretary-General of the Socialist Party) and the chairman of the Social-Democratic Party.

Does the Commission not consider that it would have been a basic courtesy to arrange for its President to meet all the Portuguese political parties represented in the European Parliament?

Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (13 November 1997)

The President of the Commission takes pleasure in meeting a wide range of people, including members of the Parliament, but is not able to meet all political parties on the occasion of all his journeys.
