WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3675/97 by Johannes SWOBODA to the Commission. Agenda 2000 - financial implications for Austria's net payments to the EU  


Official Journal C 134 , 30/04/1998 P. 0178 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-3675/97 by Johannes Swoboda (PSE) to the Commission (10 November 1997)Subject: Agenda 2000 - financial implications for Austria's net payments to the EUAustria is at present in relative terms one of the largest net payers into the EU, its net contribution being about 0.5-0.6% of GDP in the years between now and 1999, corresponding to about ÖS 13 billion.However, according to the calculations of the Austrian Ministry of Financial Affairs, the Commission's Agenda 2000 proposals would add to Austria's burden, bringing the net contribution up to some ÖS 27.4 billion in the year 2006.Is the Commission aware of these calculations, and has it come to the same result?Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission (10 December 1997)Agenda 2000 ((COM(97) 2000 final. )) has made it clear that enlargement will entail substantial extra costs for the present fifteen Member States, reducing the positive balances of net beneficiaries and increasing the negative balances of the others. This deterioration is predictable given the economic character of the prospective Member States. Austria will be no exception to this development.A key aspect of Agenda 2000 is the reform of expenditure policies. However, it is impossible to say how expenditure will in fact evolve over the next financial perspective since much will depend on whether the policies proposed are adopted and in what form; this is not as yet known.It should to be noted that, as the Commission has shown in its paper Budget contributions, EU expenditure, budgetary balances and relative prosperity of the Member States ((SEC(97) 1918. )) budget contributions have become more equitable and will continue to become more so.The Commission is not familiar with the Ministry of finance projections cited by the Honourable Member. Nevertheless, it is essential to understand that there is no unique measure of the net budgetary position of the Member States. To calculate such estimates it is necessary to make assumptions about, for example, the definition of expenditure, the beneficiaries of expenditure, and the accounting treatment of spending. These assumptions play a crucial role in the measurement of budgetary positions, and explain why estimates for the same Member State can differ, often substantially. The Commission, taking account of this, does not produce data for budgetary positions nor does it endorse any particular methodology for estimating them.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3503/97

by Eryl McNally (PSE) to the Commission

(10 November 1997)

Subject: UEFA Executive Committee decision not to allow future winners of major cup competition entry into

European club competitions

Following a letter which I received in my constituency, I would like to draw the Commission(cid:146)s attention to the
UEFA Executive Committee (cid:145)s decision to disallow the Coca-Cola Cup as a means of qualification for the UEFA.
This decision will have far-reaching and damaging consequences for all those involved in UK League football,
affecting participation in the Coca-Cola Cup and revenue from sponsorship and television.

What can the Commission do to support the Football League(cid:146)s claim for a European place to be restored to this
season(cid:146)s Coca-Cola Cup?

Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission

(1 December 1997)

The  Commission  is  aware  of  the  problems  resulting  from  the  changes  introduced  by  the  Union  of  European
football associations (UEFA) to the rules on access to the UEFA cup. The investigation of the case is in progress.

For further details, the Commission would like to draw the attention of the Honourable Member to the answer
given to written question E-3191/97 by Mr Ford (1).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3506/97

by Ernesto Caccavale (UPE) and Giacomo Santini (UPE) to the Commission

(10 November 1997)

Subject: Violation of human rights in Greece

Following a road accident while on holiday in Crete a young Italian, Valeria Zagato, was arrested and unlawfully
subjected to a period of preventive imprisonment. She was then sentenced during a trial conducted exclusively in
Greek that did not guarantee minimum defence or civil rights solely because she was a foreigner.

Did Greece not have to respect human rights as early as 1981 when it acceded to the European Community?

Will the Commission investigate whether there was any abuse of power or cover-up by the Greek authorities in
the Zagato case simply because she was not a Greek citizen?

If it is established that human rights were violated will the Commission summon Greece to appear before the
competent authorities?

What  will  the  Commission  do  to  prevent  such  episodes  which  are  outrageous  and  denigrating  for  the  whole
European Union?

Answer given by Mrs Gradin on behalf of the Commission

(16 January 1998)

The Commission attaches great importance to the respect for human rights. It has competence in this area insofar
as Community law is concerned.
