cohomology - Cohomological characterization of CM curves

In his 1976 classical Annals paper on p-adic interpolation, N. Katz uses the fact that if E/K is an elliptic curve with complex multiplications in the quadratic field F, up to a suitable tensoring the decomposition of the algebraic HrmdR1(E,K) in eigenspaces for the natural Ftimes-action coincides with the Hodge decomposition of HrmdR1(E,BbbC) and (for ordinary good reduction at p) with the Dwork-Katz decomposition of HrmdR1(E)otimesB for p-adic algebras B.



Then, he asks for a converse statement. Namely, is it true that if the Hodge decomposition of HrmdR1(E,BbbC), where E/K is an elliptic curve, is induced by a splitting of the algebraic de Rham, then E has complex multiplications?



The question is left unanswered in that paper. Does anyone know if the question has been answered since?
