Official Journal C 297 , 15/10/1999 P. 0132
WRITTEN QUESTION E-4109/98 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Council (15 January 1999) Subject: Infringement of the Treaty on European Union - UK participation in attack on Iraq The participation of the UK in military operations against Iraq is an infringement of Article J.1(1) and (2), Article J.2(1) and Article J.8 of the Treaty on European Union since there was no information or consultation before the operations took place. Can the Council confirm or deny the this assertion? Should it be confirmed, what measures does the Council propose to take? Reply (26 April 1999) The Honourable Member would have noticed that no common position on the matter had been defined by the Council. The information and consultation obligations have been respected. Under those circumstances, the Council fails to see how Article J.1(1) and (2), Article J.2(1) or Article J.8 of the Treaty on European Union had been infringed.
