Mr. Bercow: To ask the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the discussions held between the European Council and
President-nominate Prodi at the Cologne Council on 3 June; what were the questions raised; if he will deposit the presentation on
the future Commission's work and reform programme in the Library; and if he will make a statement. [101016]
The Prime Minister: At the Cologne European Council, President Prodi outlined his intention to implement far reaching reform of the
Commission. This will include improved financial and personnel management, a better standard of integrity and a clearer division of
responsibilities. The Commission will publish a full programme for reform in early 2000. This will be deposited in the Library in
due course.

consideration of the voting mechanics of the European Council and size of the Commission; if policy areas may also be negotiated;
which policy areas he called for negotiations to cover; and if he will make a statement. [101023]
The Prime Minister: The Cologne European Council agreed that next year's IGC should deal with the institutional reforms necessary
for the next enlargement of the Union. The Government welcome this. Enlargement is not just about the applicant countries preparing
for accession, but also about the EU preparing to receive them.
As for specifying agenda items, Cologne agreed that the IGC should focus on three key issues: the size and composition of the
Commission, the reweighting of votes in the Council and a possible extension of QMV. Some related items may be added to the agenda,
but these too should focus on institutional, not policy, issues.

Mr. Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many public limited companies in the UK have been taken over
by companies based in Germany in each of the last three years. [101360]
Mr. Andrew Smith: I have been asked to reply.
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the Director of the Office for National Statistics. I have asked him to
reply.
Letter from John Kidgell to Mr. Barry Sheerman, dated 7 December 1999:
The Director of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has been asked to reply to your question on the number of public limited
companies in the UK that have been taken over by companies based in Germany over the last three years. I am replying in Dr Holt's
absence.
The ONS extracts information about acquisitions and mergers from detailed scanning of specialist journals and the financial press.
We therefore tend to identify only the larger and/or more newsworthy acquisitions. The figures below may therefore understate the
scale of German acquisitions of UK companies.
