WRITTEN QUESTION E-3244/01
by Maurizio Turco (NI)
to the Commission

On 22 January 2001 the Council adopted a common position on Afghanistan[1], Article 7 of which says that the Commission intends to direct its action towards achieving the objectives and the priorities of the common position; in Article 6(a) the Union condemns terrorism in all its forms, whenever and wherever it occurs, and states that to advance the fight against terrorism, the Union will 'demand that all Afghan parties refrain from financing, providing training or shelter for terrorist organisations or otherwise supporting terrorist activities'. What practical measures did the European Commission take before the events of 11 September to meet that objective?
