WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2762/98 by Gerhard SCHMID to the Commission. Funding for the Monastic Republic of Athos (Greece)  


Official Journal C 182 , 28/06/1999 P. 0020 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2762/98by Gerhard Schmid (PSE) to the Commission(10 September 1998)Subject: Funding for the Monastic Republic of Athos (Greece)Extensive conservation and restoration work is currently being carried out in the Monastic Republic of Athos in Greece.1. Is it true that the Monastic Republic of Athos in Greece is in receipt of subsidies from the Community budget?2. If so, from what programme, what amount is involved and for what purpose?Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission(23 October 1998)The monasteries on Mount Athos receive international and Community aid for projects involving, in the main, the conservation and restoration of buildings and cultural heritage.The sum of ECU 6,1 million is being granted from the European Regional Development Fund under the Environment and Central Macedonia operational programmes of the 1994-99 Community Support Framework for Greece.In addition, as part of its action to promote the protection, conservation and development of monuments of exceptional importance in Europe, the Commission granted the monasteries of Mount Athos ECU 300 000 in 1995, ECU 350 000 in 1996 and ECU 350 000 in 1997.Another source of financial assistance is the EEA Financial Mechanism, which since it was set up has committed more than ECU 16 million for projects on Mount Athos at the request of the Greek authorities. Decisions allocating Financial Mechanism funds are made by the Financial Mechanism Committee. The Commission takes part in its meetings and projects are assessed by the European Investment Bank before acceptance. The Bank also monitors fulfilment of the contractual obligations for projects accepted.The Commission would point out that the above aids are not granted to the Holy Community of Mount Athos but to the monasteries, each making their individual applications to the relevant authority.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2753/98 by Glyn FORD to the Commission. Food shortages in North Korea  


Official Journal C 118 , 29/04/1999 P. 0136 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2753/98by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission(10 September 1998)Subject: Food shortages in North KoreaIn view of the continuing food shortages in North Korea and the consequent problems of malnutrition, particularly amongst children, is the Commission responding positively to the recommendations of the FAO that increased "double cropping" would provide a partial solution and, in particular, to the request from the Government of North Korea for 8000 tonnes of wheat seed and 4500 tonnes of barley seed, plus an extra request for delivery of fertilisers?Answer given by Sir Leon Brittan on behalf of the Commission(9 October 1998)The Commission has been actively monitoring the food security situation and associated humanitarian problems in North Korea since 1995. Substantial Community assistance, worth approximately ECU 120 million, has been provided in the period 1995-1998.Although natural disasters, particularly in 1995 and 1996, aggravated the situation, the primary cause of the food shortages in North Korea is structural, stemming from the country's failure to adapt its agriculture and wider economy to changed international circumstances (the disappearance of former trade subsidies from China and ex-USSR).Given the structural nature of the problems, the Commission has already in 1998 partially shifted Community assistance away from food aid towards measures designed to improve food security. An integrated ECU 30 million package combining both food aid (86 000 tonnes of assorted products) and support for agricultural rehabilitation (30 000 tonnes of fertiliser; technical assistance and pilot projects) is currently being implemented. The Community has also in the past supported double-cropping initiatives in North Korea with a view to promoting increased agricultural productivity.No decision has yet been taken on possible Community food aid or food-security operations in North Korea for 1999.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2758/98

by Richard Corbett (PSE) to the Commission

(10 September 1998)

Subject: Use of hired cars from third countries

Can the Commission confirm or deny that it has recently become illegal for a hire car from a non EU state
to be driven in an EU country by an EU citizen?

Do EU tourists who have hired a car in Switzerland, but cross the border into Austria, France, Germany or
Italy, face fines and prosecution?

If this is so, what possible justification can there be in such a Directive?

Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission

(7 December 1998)

Under Article 719(11)(b) of Regulation (EEC) 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the
implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (1),
persons established in a Member State may only place a hired vehicle registered in another country under
the temporary admission procedure for the purpose of returning to the Member State in which they reside.
This is not a new provision; it has been in force since 1993. The Istanbul Convention of 26 June 1990,
approved by Council Decision No 93/329/EEC of 15 March 1993 concerning the conclusion of the
Convention on Temporary Admission and accepting its annexes (2), contains similar provisions.

Persons using a vehicle registered in a non-Community country (such as Switzerland) in breach of the
provisions described above may face prosecution and a fine as a result. The reason for this restriction is to
prevent evasion of Community vehicle tax.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2766/98

by Giacomo Santini (PPE) to the Commission

(10 September 1998)

Subject: Application of a surcharge (’sovrapprezzo’) to imports of Community sugar

In its judgment of 21 May 1980, in Case 73/79, the Court of Justice of the European Communities ruled
that Italy had infringed Article 95 of the EC Treaty by imposing a surcharge on imports of Community
sugar, a provision introduced by the Interministerial Prices Committee (CIP No 3661 of 22 June 1968).
The surcharge was deemed to discriminate between importers and domestic producers thereby entailing
an unacceptable distortion of the principle of free competition. The surcharge was ruled illegal in that it
constituted a charge which, ‘although levied at the same rate on sugar produced in Italy and sugar from
other Member States, does not constitute a uniform imposition on those products’.

Will the Commission say:

1. whether it still considers the surcharge levied by the Italian state under provision CIP 3661 of 22 June

1968 to be illegal?

2. whether the surcharge paid by Italian importers should be refunded since it was illegally levied and

could not be reclaimed?
