WRITTEN QUESTION E-1899/99

by Raffaele Costa (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(29 October 1999)

Subject: Kaleidoscope Programme (1996-1998)

Will the Commission state what agencies (public or private),
institutions, companies, cooperatives and
individuals have been allocated funding (specifying whether payments have already been made) under the
Kaleidoscope programme of Community support to artistic and cultural activities (1996-1998) (budget (cid:129)
ECU 26,5 million, equal to approx. LIT 51 billion) and how much each of them has been granted?

Has it checked how the amounts have actually been used and whether the proposed measures have been
successfully implemented?

Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(23 November 1999)

With regard to the first part of the question, due to the scale of the answer which includes many
publications, the Commission will forward the answer in full directly to the Honourable Member and to
Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat-General.

With regard to the second part, the progress of selected projects is monitored by means of interim and
final reports and, consequently, financial contributions are allocated only when these reports have been
checked and approved by the Commission.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1901/99

by Raffaele Costa (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(29 October 1999)

Subject: Raphael Programme (1996-2000)

Will the Commission state what agencies (public or private),
institutions, companies, cooperatives and
individuals have been allocated funding (specifying whether payments have already been made) under
Raphael, the Community action programme in the field of cultural heritage (1996-2000) (budget (cid:129)
ECU 67 million, equal to LIT 130 billion) and how much each of them has been granted?

Has it checked how the amounts have actually been used and whether the proposed measures have been
successfully implemented?

Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(23 November 1999)

The Commission would inform the Honourable Member that the Raphael programme was adopted at the
end of 1997 by the Parliament and the Council with a global allocation of ECU 30 million and for a four
year period, 1997-2000. However, in view of the adoption of the framework (cid:145)Culture 2000(cid:146) programme,
1999 was the last year of the implementation of the Raphael programme.

In response to the first part of the question, the Commission is sending a list directly to the Honourable
Member and to Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat.

As to the second part of the question, the selected projects are followed-up through intermediate and final
reports and the financial contributions granted are given only after verification and acceptance of these
reports by the Commission.

The Commission does not currently have specific information concerning the risk presented by di-octyl
phthalate (DOP) in orthodontic applications. Phthalates used as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) toys
and childcare articles are other than DOP. Nevertheless, the Commission has proposed, that all relevant
phthalates that could be used as plasticizers in PVC toys, of which di-octyl phthalate is one, should be
banned for use in toys intended to be put in the mouth by small children.

The Commission will seek further information, from amongst others the Finnish authorities, and ask the
scientific committee(cid:146)s advice if it appears necessary.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2056/99

by Eryl McNally (PSE) to the Commission

(29 October 1999)

Subject: Local Exchange Trading Systems

What is the EC doing to promote the growth of LETS (Local Exchange Trading Systems) by including them
in Structural Fund possibilities and by disseminating good practice in Member States?

Answer given by Liikanen on behalf of the Commission

(11 November 1999)

As regards the dissemination of information about local exchange trading schemes (LETS), the Commission
would inform the Honourable Member that it is currently preparing a series of events in the Member
States to demonstrate (cid:145)best practices(cid:146) which have been tested in certain businesses and are considered likely
to be able to improve the competitiveness of other businesses. If the Honourable Member would kindly
send details of the LETS of which she has knowledge, and provided that these do not consist of barter and
can be demonstrated to have satisfied the requirements of the tax authorities, the Commission will
consider including them in the best practices to be exhibited as described above.

The Structural Fund problems attached to LETS may, subject to the reservations already mentioned, be
taken into account as part of the support for local development and employment activities, whether these
are a matter of new sources of jobs, or of new forms of business, craft industry or tourism.
