WRITTEN QUESTION No. 201/99 by Florus WIJSENBEEK Hijacking in France (SUPPLEMENTARY ANSWER)
Official Journal C 370 , 21/12/1999 P. 0025
WRITTEN QUESTION E-0201/99 by Florus Wijsenbeek (ELDR) to the Commission (11 February 1999) Subject: Hijacking in France Is the Commission aware of an incident which occurred during the night of 18 and 19 January 1999 in Rennes when a Dutch lorry driver was hijacked by French farmers? Is the Commission also aware that 22 tonnes of pigmeat were rendered unfit for consumption and the lorry destroyed? Does the Commission not think that a stop must be put to such unacceptable acts and that the French authorities, who are unwilling to prevent hijackings of this nature, should forthwith pay compensation to the haulier, the shipper and the driver? If not, why not? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (19 March 1999) The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its findings as soon as possible.
