It has been suspected (Szabados 1997) that the apparent orbit of previously unresolved binaries involving a Cepheid component falsifies the Hipparcos-parallaxes deduced for these Cepheids. Since the incidence of binaries among Cepheids exceeds 50 per cent, this adverse effect on the parallax determination is a major error source. An obvious remedy is to repeat the determination of the five astrometric parameters for the Cepheids, members in binary systems, taking into accountthe orbital

... known from spectroscopic studies. This will result in more precise parallaxes and cosmic distance scale. Moreover, these Cepheidsare ideal targets for the future microarcsec astrometric missions. This study was partly supported by OTKA-grants T 014852 and T 022946.
