WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2745/95 by Jannis SAKELLARIOU to the Commission. Relocation of industrial firms using EU funds (SUPPLEMENTARY ANSWER)  


Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0002 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2745/95 by Jannis Sakellariou (PSE) to the Commission (12 October 1995)Subject: Relocation of industrial firms using EU funds1. Is the Commission aware of the fact that firms who - motivated by the possibility of aid from EU structural funds - plan and make investments in Ireland, often subsequently (probably due to lower production and unit wage costs in Ireland) 'wind up' their original location in Germany?2. Is the Commission aware that this occurred in the case of American Home Productions Corporation or Wyeth in Wolfratshausen, Bavaria?3. Does the Commission regard such practices as being in line with the spirit of structural funds assistance or the aim of encouraging investments in accordance with Objective 1? Does the Commission agree that this practice constitutes misuse of EU funds?4. What does the Commission intend to do about this? If nothing - why?Supplementary answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (24 April 1996)The Irish authorities have provided the Commission with information on the assistance received by the two companies mentioned by the Honourable Member. American Home Productions corporation has not received aid from Community funds. The Wyeth company has received 3.5 MECU of aid from Community sources since 1991.As regards the more general aspects of the question of the possible influence of structural funds assistance on companies' location decisions, the Commission would refer the Honourable Member to the reply it gave to Oral Question H-86/96 by Mr Wolf during question time at Parliament's February 1996 part-session ((Debates of the Parliament (February 1996). )).
