WRITTEN QUESTION E-3760/03

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(10 December 2003)

Subject:   Update on use of funding from the 2000 City Twinning Programme by the municipality of Siena

In its answer to question E-1028/03( 1 ), which asked whether the municipality of Siena had submitted projects and secured funding under the 2000 City Twinning Programme, the Commission stated that no funding had been granted for the year 2000.

Can the Commission say whether the municipality has submitted any projects and obtained and used any funding in the budget years since then?
