WRITTEN QUESTION P-1062/99

by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Commission

(12 April 1999)

Subject: Payments to flax farmers

In view of the immense hardship caused to flax farmers by the introduction of new conditions to EC flax
regulations which delay payment of subsidies for up to 12 months, would the Commission not consider the
possibility of granting interim part payments as a compromise which would help ease the burden on farmers?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(26 April 1999)

The common organisation of the market in flax and hemp introduces new constraints, from the 1999/2000
marketing year, into the conditions for granting aid for fibre flax.

The recent requirements pertaining in particular to checking the minimum flax straw yield at the processing
stage can indeed give rise to an additional delay in the payment of aid. In order to limit the disadvantages of
this, the Commission is currently examining the possibility of introducing a system of advances on the aid
involving the lodging of a security.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1065/99

by Daniel Varela Suanzes-Carpegna (PPE) to the Commission

(20 April 1999)

Subject: Bringing the additional provisions of the French law 97-1051 of 18 November on sea fishing

guidelines and marine crops into line with Community law

With reference to the Commission’s answer to my written question E-0301/99 (1), once it has requested and
examined the provisions referred to in my question, will it say whether it considers them to be in conformity
with Community law as interpreted by the Court of Justice, with particular reference to the provisions laid
down in the circular on stable establishment?

(1) OJ C 341, 29.11.1999, p. 87.

Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission

(5 May 1999)

The Commission would inform the Honourable Member that it considers the circular of the French
administration on the new conditions for the fishing of French quotas, which was addressed to the fishing
companies late in 1998, to be compatible with Community law.

The Commission however has emphasised once again to the French authorities the need to show some
flexibility in the initial application of the new conditions to allow fishing companies to adapt themselves
smoothly to the new situation.

The French authorities have reassured the Commission that this will be the case.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1026/99

by Graham Mather (PPE) to the Commission

(20 April 1999)

Subject: Pesticide Lindane

In response to my Written Question 2860/97 (1), the Commission stated that Directive 91/414/EEC (2)
concerning the placing on the market of plant protection products provides for the review of active substances
which were already on the market when the Directive entered into force.

Concerning the active substance lindane, which is one of the 90 substances covered under the first phase of the
review, the Commission confirmed that it was waiting for the report of the rapporteur Member State, Austria.
Upon receipt of this report an intensive scientific and technical examination with all the Member States was
due to take place. The Commission would then take a final position on this active substance and consider
options for further progressing the work.

What stage has this process now reached?

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1051/99

by Karin Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR) to the Commission

(12 April 1999)

Subject: Discrimination against foreign construction companies in Germany

In Germany an amendment to the tax legislation entered into force on 1 April 1999 which discriminates
against foreign construction companies.

A German client who employs a foreign construction company must retain 25 % of the remuneration and pay
it to the Inland Revenue in Germany.

The foreign company receives this sum only after the end of the calendar year if it can prove that it is not liable
to taxation in Germany. There is a derogation provision, but at present the German tax authorities are refusing
to apply it.
