rules to the current market situation in the rice sector,
and in particular to the rates of prices for these products
in the European part of the Community and on the
world market, the aid for supply to the Canary Islands
should be set at the amounts given in the Annex;

Commission has tabled its policy proposition in the Agenda 2000 context. A new regulation on support
for rural development from the European agricultural guidances and guarantee fund has been adopted by
the Council on 17 May 1999 (1).

family farm and rural society,

Regional and rural development programmes will explicitly address the development needs of the rural
society. With the Agenda 2000 reforms, rural development will be established as a second pillar of the
common agricultural policy made available for all rural areas. Establishing the programmes at
the
appropriate territorial level will be the next important step before a successful implementation can start.
Within the budgetary framework fixed by the Berlin European Council, the Commission(cid:146)s task will also be
to ensure that the money available is fully used for the benefit of European rural society.

The need to regain consumers(cid:146) confidence in the quality and safety of foodstuffs is fully recognised by the
new Commission. A white paper on food safety, proposing a comprehensive action plan, will be presented
before the end of 1999.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1775/99

by Helena Torres Marques (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Membership of Commissioners(cid:146) (cid:145)cabinets(cid:146)

(11 October 1999)

The Commission President, Mr Prodi, has told Parliament that he has given instructions that the member-
ship of the Commissioners(cid:146)
(cid:145)cabinets(cid:146) should be multinational and should respect the principle of parity
between men and women.

Can the Commission provide the necessary information on the membership of the twenty (cid:145)cabinets(cid:146), to
enable the degree of fulfilment of these two objectives to be analysed?

Answer given by Mr Prodi on behalf of the Commission

(18 October 1999)

The Commission is sending the information requested direct

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1795/99

by Mogens Camre (UEN) to the Commission

(30 September 1999)

Subject: Undercutting of a Member State(cid:146)s domestic labour force

Will the Commission explain its position on the problems that arise when domestic and foreign workers
are paid at different rates in a Member State and say what steps it might take to deal with such problems?

Like labour markets in comparable countries, the Danish labour market is highly organised and pay and
working conditions are regulated by agreements between the two sides of industry.

The free movement of workers between EU Member States is creating major problems for Danish workers
and businesses with regard to their ability to compete in the internal market.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1708/99

by HervØ Novelli (PPE-DE) to the Council

(30 September 1999)

Subject: Inconsistency between European regional policy and the French authorities(cid:146) decisions

The department of Indre-et-Loire is currently under consideration as regards the new zones for application
of the reform of European regional policy. The commune of Nou(cid:226)tre in the canton of Sainte-Maure, which
used to be eligible under ERDF Objective 5(b), could now come under Objective 2.

However, at the same time, the French authorities have decided to close a large part of the Nou(cid:226)tre
military base, which employs about 400 people, including 250 civilians, which will be a severe blow to the
local economy. For instance, the Nou(cid:226)tre secondary school, which takes the children of employees at the
base, may be threatened with closure in the fairly near future.

Does not the Council think that there is an unacceptable contradiction between its regional policy
1.
objectives in Indre-et-Loire and the French authorities(cid:146) decision, taken without any consultation, concern-
ing a commune in the same department?

Does not the Council think that it should intervene with the French Government to resolve this

2.
inconsistency?

3. More generally, does the Council know of other, similar cases and what measures will it take to
prevent contradictions of this kind in the future?

Reply

(9 December 1999)

In June the Council adopted new rules on the Structural Funds, which set out the priority objectives,

1.
general principles and programming methodology for 2000-2006.

2.
Under these rules, the Commission is responsible for ensuring the consistency of Objective 2 regional
development strategies presented by the Member States with the objectives of Community regional policy.

It is not for the Council to intervene in this matter, nor to comment on the policies and internal decisions
of Member States.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1717/99

by Lucio Manisco (GUE/NGL) and Armando Cossutta (GUE/NGL) to the Council

Subject: Bombing of the Iraqi population

(30 September 1999)

For months now the United States and British air forces have been bombing Iraq and the rest of the world
has looked on with indifference. No resolution by the UN or any other international organisation provides
support for such action, which has caused death and destruction among the civilian population.

Does the Council agree with the statement made by the spokesman at the UN for the French Government,
which states that (cid:145)we must reiterate our deep disquiet about the unwarranted continuation of these
increasingly severe bombing raids whose purpose is not clear to us(cid:146)?
