In addition to setting up the museum, does the Commission also consider the maintenance, development and
promotion of the site of ancient Nikopolis to be worthy of support?

Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission

(5 May 1999)

The Commission has not yet received any funding request for the work at the Nikopolissite.

However, the Greek authorities may, if they wish, submit such a request in accordance with procedures for the
Community Support Framework (CSF). The Commission is willing to cooperate with the authorities in
examining funding options within the CSFbudget.

Official Journal C 370 , 21/12/1999 P. 0103 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0767/99by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission(29 March 1999)Subject: Archaeological excavations at Pydna, prefecture of PieriaAncient Pydna in the prefecture of Pieria was the oldest town in 5th century Macedonia A number of important archaeological finds have been unearthed during construction of the new railway line, the second section of the road between Katerini and Thessaloniki and the natural gas pipeline. Owing to a lack of finance, there has been no systematic excavation hitherto, merely 'salvage' operations to tie in with the needs of these major public works.If the Commission received a request, would it consider continuing the excavations in a more systematic fashion and setting up a museum in the area to exhibit the finds for the benefit and development of the region?Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission(5 May 1999)Archaeological excavations as such cannot be cofinanced by the Raphael programme or the Community's Structural Funds. However, projects to enhance archaeological sites with a view to attracting more visitors and thereby promoting tourism in the regions concerned may be eligible under the Structural Funds.A project to enhance the Pydna archaeological site (including the building of a museum) could be eligible if it contributed to the development of Central Macedonia. It should be pointed out that it is for the national authorities to propose projects to be financed under operational programmes.
