Will the Commission ensure that funding for approved projects may not be withheld simply because the
Commission believes it has outstanding claims against other projects when no legal proceedings have
begun to enforce its claim?

These questions relate to the Commission(cid:146)s behaviour in the case against the (cid:145)Nordvestjysk Folkecenter for
Vedvarende Energi(cid:146) (North-West Jutland Renewable Energy Centre), which was publicly branded a fraud by
a Commission official although the fraud squad in Denmark had concluded that there is no evidence for
the accusations.

The Commission has also blocked payments of a subsidy to a group of recipients, among which the Centre
is only one party, and is thus punishing undertakings having absolutely no involvement in this case.

Answer given by Mrs Schreyer on behalf of the Commission

(7 February 2000)

The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its
findings as soon as possible.
