WRITTEN QUESTION P-0309/98

by Doeke Eisma (ELDR) to the Commission

(10 February 1998)

Subject: Taxation of aircraft fuel

At  the  Transport  Council  of  11  March  1997  the  Commission  was  asked  to  examine  the  implications  of  the
possible introduction of measures on the taxation of aircraft fuel.

When can the findings of the study be expected?

Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission

(10 March 1998)

In  May  1997,  the  Ecofin  Council,  in  response  to  the  Commission(cid:146)s  report (1)  under  Article  8(6)  of  Directive
92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonization of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils (2), adopted
a  resolution  requesting  the  Commission  to  provide  further  information  on  all  aspects  of  the  introduction  of
taxation  of  aircraft  fuel.  To  meet  this  request,  the  Commission  has  launched  a  study  to  examine  the  various
effects of the introduction of taxation within the Community. The consortium carrying out this study is due to
produce its final report during the late summer of 1998.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-0313/98

by Luis Campoy Zueco (PPE) to the Commission

(10 February 1998)

Subject: URBAN programme

Will the Commission give details of the Spanish projects selected for the URBAN programme in 1997 and say
whether any of them concern the region of Navarra?

Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission

(4 March 1998)

As  part  of  the  extension  of  the  URBAN  initiative,  the  Spanish  national  authorities  have  presented  the  draft
URBAN  II  operational  programme  for  1997-99  to  the  Commission  for  approval.  It  covers  Co·rdoba,
Avile·s-Corvera, Santander, Albacete, Leo·n, Castello·n, Pontevedra, Telde, Murcia, Zaragoza, Santa Coloma de
Grammenet and Palma de Mallorca.

None of these projects concerns the region of Navarra.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0316/98

by Wilmya Zimmermann (PSE) to the Commission

(17 February 1998)

Subject: Common European holiday on 9 May

The  Commission  has  made  it  clear,  for  example  in  its  (cid:145)citizens(cid:146)  Europe(cid:146)  programme,  that  a  greater  effort  is
required to persuade the citizens of the European Union to identify with it.

The  introduction  of  the  common  currency  will  be  an  important  step  in  this  direction,  but  a  common  public
holiday could also be a great help. The European flag and hymn would be backed up by a unifying symbol which
would be of benefit to the entire citizenry of Europe.
