The Vilaboa transfer station in particular, the location of which was decided by the authorities in charge,
has always appeared among the nine stations in the project presented to the Commission for part-
financing. The Commission approved the project after undertaking, as part of the consideration procedure,
a socio-economic cost-benefit assessment of the project as a whole and its compatibility with the other
Community policies, in particular in the environmental area. Provided that all the conditions laid down in
Council Regulation (EC) No 1164/94 of 16 May 1994 establishing a Cohesion Fund (1) are met, the
Commission does not believe that the Sogama Project or the Vilaboa transfer station should be halted.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1740/99

by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(30 September 1999)

Subject: Difficulties facing EU students in Yugoslavia as a result of the bombing

A significant number of students from the Member States, particularly Greece, had embarked on courses of
study in Yugoslavia before war broke out. Those students and their families are now having to cope with
very serious problems in the form of pollution, shortage of drinking water, the collapse of infrastructure,
lack of medical care, the terrible difficulties of travelling, fuel shortages and rising crime owing to the
breakdown of society following the war. Naturally, many students are reluctant to return and there is a risk
that they will abandon their courses midway through.

What action does it intend to take in the wake of this new murder to ensure that the Greeks Cypriots in
the enclave can continue to live there?

Does it consider that a full-scale and permanent observation post can be set up in Rizokarpaso to ensure
the security of the Greek Cypriots in the enclave?

(1) OJ C 132, 28.4.1997, p. 226.

Answer

(24 January 2000)

The Council has not received any official information about the incident to which the Honourable Member
refers. As far as could be ascertained (cid:129) and as the question itself suggests (cid:129) Mr Stelios Charpas(cid:146) violent
death was not related to activities by agents of the regime in control of Northern Cyprus. On the contrary,
it appears that they cooperated with the authorities of the Republic of Cyprus with a view to taking
appropriate action in the wake of Mr Charpas(cid:146) death.

As to the question of setting up an observation post in Rizokarpaso, the Council trusts that the United
Nations will fully consider all the relevant aspects and take the right decision.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1757/99

by Manuel PØrez `lvarez (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Reorganising DGs XIV and VI

(1 October 1999)

Could the Commission give details of the proposal by President Prodi for a possible reorganisation of the
Commission(cid:146)s Directorate-General VI for Agriculture and Directorate-General XIV for Fisheries into a single
Directorate-General?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(9 November 1999)

The Commission is, at present, undergoing a major re-organization in order to rationalize and improve the
service which it provides for the European citizen.

This organisation is based on 36 directorates general (DGs) and services, including the Agriculture DG and
the Fisheries DG which remain separate DGs under the responsibility of commissioner Fischler. A new
Director general of the Fisheries DG was appointed on 1 October 1999, which confirms what Mr Fischler
said at his parliamentary hearing in September 1999.

In any future reform of the Commission, attention will of course be paid to views already expressed in the
Parliament on reform matters.
