WRITTEN QUESTION E-0958/00

by Jorge HernÆndez Mollar (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: EU contribution to tourism development in Melilla

(29 March 2000)

The city of Melilla, located in North Africa and part of the European Union, is seeking means of resolving
the major problems affecting it, namely isolation and the need to diversify its economy through the
sustained development of tourism. Potentially it offers a double attractiveness, as a European city for the
Maghreb and as a gateway to Africa for Europe.

Melilla therefore needs to implement a large-scale tourism plan, including the regeneration of its beaches
and the improvement of sea and air communications links. These two key factors will make it possible to
dynamise other elements that are needed for a far-reaching tourism development programme.

Can the Commission state to what extent it believes that the EU can participate in an integrated tourism
development plan for Melilla, to enable this city, situated in North Africa but part of the Union, to
become, in the medium to long term, a genuine tourist attraction for all the Union(cid:146)s Member States?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(25 May 2000)

The autonomous city of Melilla is eligible under Objective 1 of the Structural Funds for the 2000-2006
programming period.

At present Spain(cid:146)s operational programme proposals are in preparation prior to transmission to the
Commission, which will of course give serious consideration to support for the development of tourism in
Melilla if included.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0963/00

by Gorka Kn(cid:246)rr Borr(cid:224)s (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(29 March 2000)

Subject: Drought in Aragon

The Spanish region of Aragon suffers from a serious structural drought problem.

Since 1915 the national government has produced successive laws and programmes proposing irrigation
schemes aimed at remedying the problem. However, many of these schemes have never got off the ground
for budget reasons.

Present nature conservation policies originating at EU level are having the effect of paralysing irrigation
projects in large areas of Aragon, leading to the decided rejection of those policies by the great majority of
the inhabitants of the areas affected, who feel that environmental protection is being given priority over
allowing the farmers of Aragon the means of survival.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0951/00

by Bart Staes (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(29 March 2000)

Subject: The Objective 2 region of Hainaut

The awarding of Objective 2 aid to the Walloon province of Hainaut is leading to the relocation of firms
which have been established for many years in the neighbouring province of Western Flanders. The
businesses operators in question acknowledge that the removal of their activities to Hainaut is entirely
dependent on their obtaining Objective 2 subsidies. If these business operators do not obtain any European
aid, they will keep their operations in Western Flanders. In order to be considered for such aid they have
to have their company headquarters in Hainaut.

How many applications have been made since 1 January 2000 for Objective 2 aid for new economic

1.
operations in Hainaut, and to what do they relate?

2. When and where were the company headquarters of these firms registered?

3.

(a) How many of these firms were formerly operating in the province of Western Flanders?

(b) How many of these firms are currently operating in Western Flanders?
