    WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3949/97 by James NICHOLSON to the Commission. Conscientious Objectors in Greece

    Official Journal C 174 , 08/06/1998 P. 0156


    WRITTEN QUESTION E-3949/97 by James Nicholson (I-EDN) to the Commission (12 December 1997)

    Subject: Conscientious Objectors in Greece

    Although Greece has recently enacted a law to recognise conscientious objection, interest groups claim that there is still discrimination against the practice as persons currently imprisoned for their pacifist beliefs have not been released. It is also claimed that the new law (2510/97) does not take account of matters such as the development of conscientious objection during the period of military service.

    What is the opinion of the Commission on the law governing military service with regard to conscientious objection in Greece?

    Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (16 January 1998)

    The Honourable Member is referred to the Commission's answer to written question E-868/96 by Mr Gianni Tamino and other MEPs ((OJ C 280, 25.9.1996. )).
