WRITTEN QUESTION No. 613/96 by Amedeo AMADEO , Spalato BELLERE' to the Commission. Derogations for airport services  


Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0079 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0613/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) and Spalato Belleré (NI) to the Commission (13 March 1996)Subject: Derogations for airport servicesOne very important and delicate issue regarding the proposal for a Council Directive on access to the groundhandling market at Community airports (COM(94)0590 ((OJ C 142, 8.6.1995, p. 7. )) is that of derogations.Does the Commission agree that the derogation criteria should be determined in a precise and legally binding manner to ensure that the Member States are genuinely in a position to decide about derogations? Should provision not also be made to allow preliminary consultations to take place between the Commission and the Member States concerned before initiating proceedings before the Court of Justice?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (30 April 1996)The proposed directive concerning access to the groundhandling market at Community airports will allow exemptions only in the case of exceptional problems of capacity and space at a given airport. Such exemptions apply only where it is impossible for the airport to allow the presence of a new entrant. In practice, the examination by the Commission of the decision of the Member State is likely to result in informal meetings between the Commission and the civil aviation administration of the Member State concerned.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 610/96 by Concepció FERRER to the Commission. Structural Funds  


Official Journal C 217 , 26/07/1996 P. 0078 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0610/96 by Concepció Ferrer (PPE) to the Commission (13 March 1996)Subject: Structural FundsSeventy-four Community initiative programmes were adopted between 15 November and 15 December 1995. Why has the Spanish State only approved one Community programme, which is to receive ECU 216.9 m from the Structural Funds, when other Member States have opted for a wider distribution of Community funds among various programmes?What is the purpose of this programme adopted for the Canaries, which is part of the Community initiative Regis II?Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (3 April 1996)The procedures for implementing Community initiatives vary from one Member State to another. The same initiative can give rise to a single Commission decision for certain Member States and several decisions for others. In Spain's case, each initiative results in a single decision, except for Interreg and Leader. It is not the number of programmes adopted which is particularly significant but rather the amounts approved and to be approved in each Member State. Hence at the end of 1995, 80.5% of the total allocation of Community initiatives for Spain had already been approved. Decisions are still to be taken on the Interreg-France, Interreg-Morocco, Rechar, Resider, Konver and SME programmes.The specific objectives of the Community initiative programme Regis II-Canaries, like those of the Urban and SME initiatives to be implemented in the Canary Islands, supplement those in the Community framework of support for Spain, Objective No 1 1994-99. The aim is to speed up the pace at which the economy of the Canary Islands is adapted and incorporated in the internal market. This involves:- diversifying economic activities in order to develop the productive sectors;- making the technological advances needed to diversify economic activities;- correcting geographical and economic imbalances by supporting the development of a type of tourism compatible with protection of the environment and the cultural heritage;- consolidating links with the rest of the Community by encouraging cooperation between the most remote regions and with neighbouring non-member countries;- achieving fuller integration in both internal and external markets;- supporting vocational training and employment.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 615/96 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Commission. Groundhandling at airports  


Official Journal C 280 , 25/09/1996 P. 0047 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0615/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (13 March 1996)Subject: Groundhandling at airportsIn the proposal for a Council Directive on access to the groundhandling market at Community airports (COM(94)0590) ((OJ C 142, 8.6.1995, p. 7. )), the Commission seeks to:- define Community rules that will enable the general principles contained in the Treaty to be applied effectively to the groundhandling market;- introduce measures to accompany liberalization of air transport and related activities;- establish transparency of costs by unbundling accounting and financial aspects of groundhandling activities and prohibiting any financing which might give rise to a distortion of competition.Will the Commission establish a technical distinction between operations intended for aircraft and operations not intended for aircraft, by drawing up an exhaustive list of the individual activities?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (30 April 1996)The proposal for a Council directive on access to the groundhandling market at Community airports includes an annex which lists the different categories of groundhandling services. As indicated in the explanatory memorandum, this list takes up and refers to the nomenclature established by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) which is used by airlines and gives technical definitions of the operations covered by each category of service. The list permits the reader to distinguish those categories of service related to aircraft from those concerning other matters.
