by José García-Margallo y Marfil (PPE) to the Commission

(26 March 1999)

Subject: Structural Funds

Regions whose per capita income is less than 75 % of the average Community per capita income are described
as ‘Objective 1 regions’ and they receive significant amounts of Community aid.

To determine whether or not this threshold has been exceeded, the draft Council Regulation COM(98) 131
final (1) laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds states that the figures corresponding to the last
three years for which Eurostat has data available will be used.

At the moment the only figures available are those for the 1994, 1995 and 1996 financial years.

What are the figures for those years for Castilla y León?

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 683/99 by Daniel VARELA SUANZES- CARPEGNA 1999 tariff quotas for tuna loins  


Official Journal C 370 , 21/12/1999 P. 0085 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0683/99by Daniel Varela Suanzes-Carpegna (PPE) to the Commission(26 March 1999)Subject: 1999 tariff quotas for tuna loinsDue to the large number of jobs it provides and the revenue it generates, the tuna canning industry is the most important branch of the Community canning sector in economic and social terms. Will the Commission therefore clarify its reasons for suggesting new imports of a semi-processed product, i.e. tuna loins from South-East Asia, a move which also represents the first step towards liberalisation of the tuna canning sector?Is the Commission aware that, given the market conditions in this area, this would mean the total distortion of the Community tuna processing industry, and that in order to avoid job losses in an uncompetitive firm, an infinitely higher number of jobs would be sacrificed in other areas of the European Union?Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission(3 May 1999)As the Honourable Member himself pointed out in his question E-540/99(1), tuna loins have become a raw material in their own right in canned tuna production. In some Member States, tuna loins currently account for 60 % of raw materials used in preserve production.The opening of a limited autonomous tariff quota is designed to facilitate raw material supplies to the Community canning industry. In no way does this measure constitute a step towards the liberalisation of the tuna canning sector. The Commission has made no such proposals, neither under its proposals on the opening of autonomous tariff quotas nor in the context of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products.With regard to a possible destabilisation of the tuna canning industry, the Commission takes the view that current market conditions are unlikely to cause major difficulties arising from the opening of a quota equivalent to only 5 % of Community imports of this product. On the other hand, it is convinced that this quota will enable the industry to improve its competitiveness in relation to exports from third countries. Strengthening competitiveness is all the more necessary in view of the major job losses seen in some Member States, with some companies disappearing altogether.(1) See page 55.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0696/99

by José García-Margallo y Marfil (PPE) to the Commission

(26 March 1999)

Subject: Structural Funds

The regions whose level of income per inhabitant is less than 75 % of that which corresponds to the average
Community inhabitant are classed as ‘Objective 1 regions’ and are entitled to substantial Community aid.

In order to work out whether this threshold has been crossed or not, the draft Council Regulation,
COM(98) 0131 final (1), laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds, stipulates that the figures
corresponding to the last three years on which Eurostat has information will be taken into account.

Currently, only the figures corresponding to the financial years 1994, 1995 and 1996 are available.

When will the figures corresponding to 1994 be replaced by those from 1997 in the regions which are seeking
to qualify as ‘Objective 1 regions’?

Answer given by Mr de Silguy on behalf of the Commission

(19 April 1999)

Estimates, for 1997, of regional gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, expressed in purchasing power
standards, should be available in December 1999.
