The De Concini-Kac-Procesi conjecture on the dimension of the irreducible representations of $U_ε(\mathfrak g)$ is proved for representations corresponding to the spherical conjugacy classes of the simply connected algebraic group $G$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. We achieve this result by means of a new characterization of the spherical conjugacy classes of $G$ in terms of elements of the Weyl group.This new version includes part I and part II.
