WRITTEN QUESTION E-2444/00

by Camilo Nogueira RomÆn (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(19 July 2000)

Subject: High speed road links between Santiago and Lugo and between Lugo and Ourense (Galicia)

On Saturday, 19 June, the Spanish Government(cid:146)s Ministry of Public Works(cid:146) official responsible for Galicia
said that the above high speed road links would be built in 2007. Are these roads provided for under the
Community Support Framework which the Commission agreed with the Spanish Government for the
period 2000-2006? What is the nature of these road links? What was the budget allocated to them, and
what annual programming do the investments to be made come under?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(29 September 2000)

Having completed negotiations with the Spanish authorities, the Commission is now finalising the 2000-
2006 Community Support Framework (CSF) for the Objective 1 regions of Spain, which include Galicia.

As the CSF does not go into detail on the projects to be financed during the programming period, it would
be premature to comment at this stage on the particulars of projects that may be selected under the CSF(cid:146)s
operational programmes.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2448/00

by Fernando FernÆndez Mart(cid:237)n (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(19 July 2000)

Subject: Islands

The Commission is currently considering the possibility of placing a tax on the aviation fuel used on all
flights leaving Community airports.

Is it aware that, owing to the obvious lack of road or rail links (and, in the case of most of the most
remote regions,
the fact that even maritime links are impracticable for normal passenger transport
purposes), island regions in the EU depend extremely heavily on air transport for their relations with the
outside world?

Does it intend to propose that, pursuant to Article 299 (2) (most remote regions) and Article 158 of the
EC Treaty and Declaration No 30 annexed to the Amsterdam Treaty, links with or between islands be
exempted from this measure, which would further isolate such regions?
