"Question No 8 by Antonios Trakatellis (): The findings of the committee of inquiry into the Greek general elections (9 April 2000) revealed that thousands of people who were not entitled to Greek nationality had become illegally naturalised and that a large number of irregularities had occurred in this connection. Five thousand cases of such illegal activity have already been discovered at the Moscow Consulate involving officials working for the diplomatic service. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered an official inquiry into the ‘Greek naturalisation industry’, which had been in operation since 1993. Despite the fact that the acquisition and loss of nationality is the sole responsibility of the Member States, in view of the fact that the Greek Government is seeking the deletion of references to nationality from identity papers contrary to directives 68/360/EECand 73/148/EECwhich specifically require the nationality to be indicated: Can such measures be regarded as being in accordance with Community legislation and what measures will the Council take in response to infringements thereof, given that they will make it impossible to establish nationality and hence to monitor the illegal entry and movement of third-country nationals within the territory of the Member States? What action will be taken by the European Union in response to the illegal granting of citizenship of Member States and, by extension, of Europe and what action can be taken to put an end to this state of affairs? Has information been gathered with regard to naturalisation processes in Greece and other Member States and should the approximation of legislation regarding the acquisition of nationality in the EU Member States be considered?"@en1
