WRITTEN QUESTION E-1955/00

by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

Subject: Compensation for mussel farmers in Northern Greece

(16 June 2000)

Shell-fish producers in the Thessalonki and Piria regions have incurred heavy losses of income owing to
problems in these sea areas. Furthermore, unless the dead shell-fish (mussels) are gathered up by the fish
farms, serious environmental problems will arise due to the decomposition of the mussels on the sea-bed.

Has Greece submitted an application for the compensation of mussel farmers who have suffered

1.
losses?

Given the danger of environmental damage to the sea areas of Thessaloniki and Piria area, is there

2.
any prospect of funding for the work needed to clear the sea of the dead shell-fish?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(11 July 2000)

1.
Greece has notified the Commission of a projected state aid scheme aimed at enabling the Greek
Government to grant assistance to mussel farmers and mussel fishermen in the Gulf of Thermaikos on
account of the contamination of mussel production.

This notification was registered on 26 May 2000 and is currently being examined by the Commission.

On the basis of a decision to be taken at national

level, measures aimed at restructuring and
2.
improving the contaminated areas could benefit from assistance under Council Regulation(EC) No 2792/
1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community
structural assistance in the fisheries sector (1) within the context of the structural operational programme
for fisheries.
