WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1322/96 by Felipe CAMISÓN ASENSIO to the Commission. The Tagus in Spain and Portugal: environmental requirements  


Official Journal C 345 , 15/11/1996 P. 0055 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1322/96 by Felipe Camisón Asensio (PPE) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: The Tagus in Spain and Portugal: environmental requirementsThe course of the Tagus through Spain and Portugal is affected by a range of environmental factors, from urban waste to the siting of 2 units of a nuclear power plant and the building of a new bridge in Lisbon.Does the Commission believe that the river's environmental requirements are adequately respected?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (9 July 1996)The question raised by the Honourable Member is not specific enough to allow the Commission to give a precise answer. There is no Community legislation on 'river environmental requirements' so the Commission is not in a position to assess whether these are adequately respected in this case.The Commission is not aware of any problems caused to the Tagus by urban waste or nuclear plants.The Commission has, however, information on the Tagus bridge project. The Commission is holding discussions with the Portuguese authorities on the environmental problems raised by the project. These problems concern wildlife rather than water issues because the area likely to be affected by the project is a special protection area classified by the Portuguese authorities pursuant to Article 4 of Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservatiion of wild birds ((OJ L 103, 25.4.1979. )).

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1345/96 by Jean-Yves LE GALLOU to the Commission. Administrative appropriations of the European Institutions  


Official Journal C 322 , 28/10/1996 P. 0058 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1345/96 by Jean-Yves Le Gallou (NI) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: Administrative appropriations of the European InstitutionsWill the Commission state the total amount of appropriations allocated in 1995 under budget heading B7-620 (Technical cooperation with the Independent States of the former Soviet Union) to expenditure on:- studies,- experts' meetings,- conferences and congresses and- information and publications?Can the Commission also say what proportion of the total amount of appropriations allocated to this budget heading is taken up by these four types of expenditure? Does it consider this proportion to be reasonable?Joint answer to Written Questions E-1344/96 and E-1345/96 given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (22 July 1996)None of the European institutions' running costs are charged either to heading B7-500 (B7-600 in 1995) - aid for economic restructuring in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CCEE) - or B7-520 (B7-620 in 1995) - cooperation with the independent states of the former Soviet Union - since no provision for such is made in the budget remarks.Funding allocated to these heading goes towards technical assistance schemes to support the transition to market economies (management, energy, transport and financial services).However, expenditure similar to that referred to by the Honourable Member was charged to this heading last year but as an integral part of operational projects and programmes approved by the Commission for Central and Eastern Europe and the New Independent States (NIS).The preparations for, and implementation of, these technical assistance schemes included expert meetings, which were financed from the Phare and Tacis programmes. Conferences and seminars covered activities designed to spread the word about these programmes, especially among those business operators in the Community, the CCEE and the NIS likely to benefit from, or participate in, the two programmes. Similarly, feasibility studies were carried out to help achieve the specific goals of Phare and Tacis. Since such activities are basic components of integrated programmes covering a number of schemes and instruments, it is difficult to treat them in isolation.The only spending for this type of activity which can easily be isolated is that earmarked for information and publication. Last year, a specific programme approved by the steering committees of both programmes was launched, accounting for 0.9% (Phare) and 1% (Tacis) of the funding for each heading.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1310/96 by Richard Howitt (PSE) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: Successor to EU Helios ProgrammeWhy has the Commission tabled a PDB of 6 MECU for 'B3 - 4102 - Helios' when the previous Helios Programme represented a budget of 12.5 MECU per year? In which fields of activity does the Commission propose to cease activity in response to this cut, and what proportion of the figure does the Commission envisage will be devoted to grants towards disability NGOs and the further development of Handynet respectively?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (28 June 1996)In accordance with the Council Decision of 25 February 1993 establishing the third Community action programme to assist disabled people (Helios II 1993-1996 ((OJ L 56 of 9.3.1993 ))), the Helios II programme will end on 31 December 1996.The Commission intends to carry out preliminary activities to analyse and evaluate new forms of cooperation in implementing the principles of equal opportunities for disabled persons with a view to taking significant action to assist such people. The Commission estimated that the 6 MECU proposed to the budget authorities in the 1997 preliminary draft budget would be sufficient to cover all the planned actions.Finally, the Commission is not in a position to give precise information about the allocation of the appropriations as the budget authorities have not yet adopted the 1997 budget.

Official Journal C 297 , 08/10/1996 P. 0120 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1330/96 by Ana Miranda de Lage (PSE) and Josep Pons Grau (PSE) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: NGOs - conditions for receiving Community fundingCommunity cooperation with developing countries is now partly channelled through NGOs. Although initially, action involving NGOs began under the heading of co-funding via the Directorate-General for Development, there are now a large number of budgetary headings available to NGOs in the EU budget.This situation is causing confusion with regard to funding percentages, conditions governing NGOs working with the Commission's services, and contractual relations, all of which means that the NGOs are unclear as to procedures and opportunities.Does the Commission intend to harmonize the conditions which the NGOs must meet in order to receive Community funds?Could the contractual conditions for the budgetary headings open to NGOs in DG I, DG IA, DG IB, DG VIII and ECHO be harmonized?Answer given by Mr Pinheiro on behalf of the Commission (24 June 1996)In the area of cooperation policy, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) administer an important and growing portion of Community funding and their fields of activity are increasingly diverse. Consequently they depend on numerous budget headings and have a complex relationship with the Commission.This larger and more diverse role reflects the value of the NGOs' work. It has however led to certain new problems regarding the correct definition of genuine NGOs, the principles that govern their relations with the Commission, and the consistency of procedures to be applied as regards the budget headings available to them.For these reasons, the Commission, by mutual agreement with the NGO liaison committee, has begun a review of these matters in order to ensure a minimum degree of administrative consistency, while taking into account the inevitable diversity of the nature and objectives of the various fields of activity. This is being done in consultation and collaboration with the NGO liaison committee.The Commission produces an annual publication, the 'Digest of Community resources available to NGOs', which contains the information necessary to help NGOs identify the objectives, conditions of eligibility, procedures and departments to contact for the various budget headings.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1314/96 by Richard HOWITT to the Commission. Successor to EU Helios Programme  


Official Journal C 385 , 19/12/1996 P. 0012 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1314/96 by Richard Howitt (PSE) to the Commission (3 June 1996)Subject: Successor to EU Helios ProgrammeWhy did the Commission fail to present its proposals on the successor to the Helios Programme to the European Disability Forum meeting on 6 May 1996, as officials indicated it would do? If the Commission does not publish its proposals before September 1996, as it now indicates, how can there possibly be genuine consultation with disabled people's NGOs and within the budgetary process in the European Parliament, prior to the ending of the Helios Programme in December this year? Will the Commission therefore immediately publish its proposals in this respect?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (6 September 1996)The Commission was unable to present its proposals at the 6 May 1996 meeting of the European disability forum because its internal process of reflection and consultation was not sufficiently advanced to allow it to do so.In the meantime, on the 30 July 1996 the Commission has adopted a communication on non-discrimination and equality of opportunity for people with disabilities setting out its overall strategy for achieving those objectives ((COM(96) 406 final. )). The development of that strategy will be the subject of full dialogue with disabled peoples' non governmental organisations and other interested parties.
