Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(3 April 2000)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to the 27th and 28th financial reports of the
European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund (EAGGF) (cid:129) guarantee section (1) for the data concern-
ing 1997 and 1998 requested in the first part of her written question.

The financial report for 1999 is not yet available and so the Commission is sending directly to the
Honourable Member and to the Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat extracts of the data to be included therein
concerning the information requested for 1999.

As for the second part of her written question, the Commission is sending direct to the Honourable
Member and to the Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat some additional tables concerning the information requested
for 1997, 1998 and 1999.

However, the Commission would like to underline that all the information which it is sending direct in
respect of the1999 financial year has not yet been subject to a financial clearance of accounts and for this
reason should not be considered as final.

(1) COM(98) 552 and COM(1999) 568.

Subject: Environment tax

A forum was held in Palma de Mallorca in February attended by Mr Eusebio Murillo of the Directorate-
General for Regional Policy, at which a proposal for an environment tax on tourists visiting the Balearic
Islands, levied by the Regional Government of the Balearic Islands, was discussed.

Has any proposal for an environment tax in the Balearic Islands been submitted to the Commission or has
it been consulted on the matter?
