The possibility of cross contamination by accidental physical mixing is also a concern. In order to respond
to this, the Commission is considering, inter alia, the introduction of a system of traceability into the
provisions of Directive 90/220/EEC, and will also take this into account for the aforesaid standards for
purity concerning the presence of genetically modified seeds. Until such time, the authorities of the
Member States, under their general obligation to monitor compliance with Community law, have to assess
the risk of the possible presence of unauthorised genetically modified material and, in case of suspicion, to
carry out appropriate testing to intercept contaminated lots and prevent them from being marketed and
used.

Subject: Allocation of funding under the EU Community Support Framework for improvements to the

secondary road network in the province of Granada

Given that the European Regional Development Fund is intended to rectify regional imbalances and reduce
differences in regional development, and that under Article 2 of the regulation concerned its scope of
application is defined thus, (cid:145)[to provide] improved access to rural areas (cid:133) investments in infrastructures
where modernisation or regeneration is a prerequisite for the creation or development of job-creating
including infrastructure and links on which the development of these activities
economic activities,
depends(cid:146), and, further,
(cid:145)the provision of infrastructure on a scale appropriate to local and employment
development(cid:146), can the Commission indicate whether the proposals submitted by the Spanish Government
for funding from the Structural Funds for the period 2000-2006 for improvements to the secondary road
network meet the above criteria?

If so, on the basis of the Spanish Government(cid:146)s proposals, what amount under the EU Community Support
Framework is likely to be allocated for improvements to the secondary road network in Granada?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(17 July 2000)

The Commission is currently finalizing the Community support framework (CSF) 2000-2006 for the
objective 1 regions of Spain in partnership with the Spanish authorities. In this context the latter have
proposed that a significant priority be given to the main transport networks including road transport.
However, the position of the secondary road network is not one of the strategic issues under discussion for
the CSF. Rather, this matter will be dealt with at regional level in the context of the regional operational
programmes for which negotiations will begin shortly. Consequently it is not possible at the present stage
to identify the amount of structural funds allocated to the secondary road network in any given region or
province.
