In a compound quantum system with EPR–like correlations a measurement of one subsystem induces instantaneously changes of the other subsystem, irrespective of the relative distance of the two subsystems. We consider several arguments which were put forward in recent years in order to show that these nonlocal effects cannot be used for superluminal communication. It turns out that the arguments mentioned above are merely plausible but not really stringent and convincing. This means that the question in the title of this paper is still open.
