Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission

(3 April 1998)

No such centres have been financed through budget line B3-4108, measures in favour of the family and children
since no money is allocated directly to local institutions for running costs. It enables governments, researchers
and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to exchange information or carry out studies.

The  Commission  has  been  co-financing  a  number  of  seminars  to  promote  the  rights  of  the  child  and  child
protection  in  several  Member  States.  Representatives  from  Greece  have  participated  in  these.  Furthermore  a
large conference will be organised in Greece under the patronage of the Commission in May 1998, which will
also promote the well being of the child.

The  Commission  also  finances  the  Daphne  initiative  which  assists  NGOs  and  voluntary  organisations  in  the
action  against  violence  against  women,  young  people  and  children.  NGOs  active  in  this  field  may  submit
proposals aimed at preventing violence (which includes ill-treatment), and protecting or rehabilitating victims of
violence.

The care centres mentioned by the Honourable Member have not received any financing in the context of the
1994-1999 Community support framework for Greece.
