WRITTEN QUESTION No. 513/98 by Jan SONNEVELD to the Commission. European criticism of the way in which swine fever is being tackled in the Netherlands

WRITTEN QUESTION P-0513/98 by Jan Sonneveld (PPE) to the Commission (19 February 1998)Subject: European criticism of the way in which swine fever is being tackled in the NetherlandsIn the Netherlands Second Chamber, the Netherlands Minister of Agriculture said that the Commission was not treating the Netherlands properly or fairly in its assessment of the way in which the recent outbreak of swine fever was being tackled.Can the Commission indicate in detail its assessment of the way in which the Netherlands Government is tackling swine fever and the basis for that assessment?Is it true that the Commission is trying to link financial implications to its criticism? If so, what are those implications and on what are they based?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (16 March 1998)As with the other Member States, the Commission carefully checked the expenditure on eradicating swine fever in the Netherlands which the Community had been requested to fund.These checks formed the subject of an inspection report that was subsequently communicated to the Netherlands. The Dutch authorities have had several opportunities to comment on this report, both orally and in writing.The Commission is well aware of the seriousness of the situation affecting pig farming in the region hit by the epidemic. However, on-the-spot checks revealed irregularities in the application of Council Directive 80/217/EEC of 22 January 1980 introducing Community measures for the control of classical swine fever ((OJ L 47, 21.2.1980. )).The Commission will take these irregularities into account when it decides on the amount of financial aid to be awarded on the basis of the final account.
