WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2361/97 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Traditional costumes of EU Member States  


Official Journal C 082 , 17/03/1998 P. 0064 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2361/97 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (10 July 1997)Subject: Traditional costumes of EU Member StatesThere is no doubt that traditional dress forms a crucial part of the cultural heritage of all regions. In many EU regions there are workshops and craft centres specializing in the manufacture of this type of clothing, an activity which makes a great contribution to preserving local customs.Will the Commission say in what framework and on what scale financial assistance could be provided for these small companies?Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission (8 October 1997)The Commission recognises the contribution made by traditional trades and the craft industry to Europe's cultural heritage, and this year it co-financed a conference entitled 'Tradition and modernity: keys for European arts and crafts in the year 2000'.As provided for in Article 130 of the EC Treaty and the 'Third Multiannual Programme for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in the European Union (1997-2000) ((Doc COM(96) 591. )), the Commission launches actions to assist the craft sector and small enterprises. These actions are primarily launched through calls for proposals published in the Official Journal.The objectives of the latest call for proposals to assist craft enterprises and small enterprises were transnational cooperation, joint participation in trade fairs and shows in European Economic Area (EEA) countries, promotion of the culture and spirit of enterprise, financing and access to credit, vocational training, access to information and services through computer applications, and the training of Euro-advisers.As part of the Community's regional policy, there are also a certain number of aid schemes aimed at small enterprises and craft enterprises, provided that these are located in regions which are eligible for regional development funds.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2374/97 by Juan COLINO SALAMANCA to the Commission. Protected designation of origin for the sheep's cheese Roncal (from Navarre)  


Official Journal C 082 , 17/03/1998 P. 0066 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2374/97 by Juan Colino Salamanca (PSE) to the Commission (10 July 1997)Subject: Protected designation of origin for the sheep's cheese Roncal (from Navarre)The PDO, as defined in Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 ((OJ L 208, 24.7.1992, p. 1. )), establishes a close link between the quality and production of raw materials and their geographical origin.It would appear that there are irregularities in the production of Roncal cheese, owing to the use of ewe's milk other than that produced locally.Is the Commission aware of or has it heard about these irregularities?Can producers, by means of this kind of practice, change the specifications of a PDO?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (4 September 1997)This matter has already been brought to the Commission's attention by a letter from European Farmers Coordination of 14 May 1997.Following the adoption of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 of 12 June 1996 on the registration of geographical indications and designations of origin under the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 ((OJ L 148, 21.6.1996. )), the use of the name 'Roncal', a protected designation of origin within the Community, is reserved for producers established within a defined geographical area of the autonomous region of Navarre who produce the cheese in question in accordance with binding specifications.In accordance with the definition in Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, in the case of a protected designation of origin (PDO) the raw material has in particular to come exclusively from the area defined by producers in the above specifications. Using raw material produced outside the defined area would result in loss of entitlement to the PDO.European Farmers Coordination's objections to a Navarre company's use of ewe's milk from Aveyron and the Basque region of France in the production of 'Roncal' cheese are too vague for the Commission to take any action on the matter for the present. They have been asked to provide factual proof which would bear out the Honourable Member's allegations so the Commission can take up the matter with the Spanish authorities and exchange opinions on this subject.
