WRITTEN QUESTION P-1230/96 by María Izquierdo Rojo (PSE) to the Commission (10 May 1996)Subject: Specific programmes to guarantee continuing education for Moroccan girls over the age of 10 in rural areasIn the country areas of Morocco, girls have real problems with continuing their schooling beyond the age of 10.Would the Commission be prepared to propose measures to prevent their education from ending so prematurely? Would it not be appropriate to develop policies to support these girls, guaranteeing their safety, transport and access to local centres of population? Does the Commission not think that Moroccan women's associations and NGOs could run projects of this kind? What sort of form would such a programme have to take in order to ensure that it really made an impact? What has been done so far in this connection under the aegis of Euro-Moroccan cooperation?Answer given by Mr Marín on behalf of the Commission (29 May 1996)Plans for bilateral cooperation between the Community and Morocco for the period 1996-98 include an ambitious ECU 50 million project to support basic education.The project's fundamental aim is to develop basic education in rural areas, and it specifically addresses the factors that prevent girls from attending and staying on at school.The project will follow the principles of Community development aid, which accord with those agreed by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and which favour a participatory approach to development projects, and will seek to involve associations and other participants in civil society and to take into account the beneficiaries' express needs.

Official Journal C 297 , 08/10/1996 P. 0108 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1214/96 by Clive Needle (PSE) to the Commission (10 May 1996)Subject: Methods of slaughterWhat action is the Commission taking following complaints from the RSPCA and others about the methods of slaughter witnessed under the halal procedure in France during the festival period at the end of April?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (23 May 1996)The Commission has intervened with the French authorities with regard to this question. It has, however, not yet received any formal reply to its enquiries.Council Directive 93/119/EEC ((OJ L 340, 31.12.1993 )) on the protection of animals at the time of slaughter or killing does allow religious slaughter of animals without humane stunning. However such slaughter is required to take place in an abattoir and to respect other Community rules on public and animal health and animal welfare.

Official Journal C 297 , 08/10/1996 P. 0107 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1213/96 by Richard Howitt (PSE) to the Commission (10 May 1996)Subject: Operation of commitology procedures in relation to the common position at first reading on the draft regulations concerning food aid, rehabilitation and humanitarian aidBearing in mind its experience of operating the commitology procedure, can the Commission make an approximate estimate in relation to the new commitology requirements concerning the above draft regulations of the additional- number of pages of papers to be translated and considered- cost of setting up and attendance at the committees- number of decisions requiredin a full calendar year?Does the Commission agree that the common positions would entail bureaucracy, delay, cost, secrecy and inflexibility for crucial European Union development aid?Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (20 June 1996)The Commission is unable to give a figure for the numbers of pages of documents to be translated or to examine the costs of reproduction and translation. These are charged to its administrative expenditure budget and are not accounted for separately.The overall cost of the 340 or so committees and joint committees charged to budget item A-2510, comes to ECU 16 million in 1996 (including ECU 8 million entered as a provision in Chapter A-100). As the three committees in question hold relatively few meetings, costs associated with the meetings represent only a very small fraction of these appropriations. The 1996 budget for the Food Aid Committee (the only one functioning at present) is ECU 153 000.The number of opinions the new committees will be required to deliver cannot yet be estimated. As an indication, the existing Food Aid Committee delivered 28 opinions in 1995.The Commission always bases its proposals for committee procedure on objective criteria and complies with the 1987 Council Decision.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1229/96 by Michael ELLIOTT to the Commission. Konver II  


Official Journal C 297 , 08/10/1996 P. 0109 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1229/96 by Michael Elliott (PSE) to the Commission (10 May 1996)Subject: Konver IIMeasure 3 of the Konver II Community Initiative is aimed at 'environmental improvements and regeneration of military and defence sites and areas affected by past military and defence industry and activity'.Would it be unreasonable to expect that, under this measure, areas surrounding former military sites would be eligible for development support as well as the sites themselves?Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (30 May 1996)Paragraph 4(f) of the Commission's notice to the Member States laying down guidelines for operational programmes or global grants in the framework of the Community's Konver initiative ((OJ C 180, 1.7.1994. )) provides for environmental improvements to military sites.These illustrative guidelines expressly refer to 'military sites' and 'areas seriously damaged by military activity', to 'landscaping' and 'minor works for improving the appearance of buildings, and roads giving access to new activities'.Environmental improvements under Konver are therefore neither restrictive nor limited to the site alone. The thinking behind the structural funds and Community initiatives has to argue in favour of anything that might make an area more attractive and so help a region's economic development.
