WRITTEN QUESTION E-2570/97 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission (24 July 1997)

Subject: Persecution in a Member State

What minimum standards of democracy have to be in place in order to ensure that persecution could not take place in an EU Member State?

Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (10 September 1997)
