WRITTEN QUESTION E-0957/99

by Willy De Clercq (ELDR) to the Commission

(13 April 1999)

Subject: Free movement of workers

Is the Commission aware that a number of Italian universities still do not respect free movement of workers as required by the Treaty establishing the European Community?

Is the Commission aware that since 1989 EU citizens have been complaining about the discriminatory practices at Italian universities, whereby foreign teachers are offered only one-year contracts, which is not the case for Italian teachers?

Is the Commission aware of the Allué and Coonan judgment of 2 August 1993 in which the Court of Justice ruled that such practices contravened Article 48(2) of the Treaty?

Is the Commission aware that these violations of a general principle laid down in the EC Treaty have still not ceased?

Will the Commission remedy the situation? If so, how? If not, why not?
