WRITTEN QUESTION E-3010/00 by Sebastiano Musumeci (UEN) to the Commission. Bicentenary of the birth of Vincenzo Bellini.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3010/00

by Sebastiano Musumeci (UEN) to the Commission

(26 September 2000)

Subject: Bicentenary of the birth of Vincenzo Bellini

2001 will mark the bicentenary of the birth of the Italian composer Vincenzo Bellini, considered to be one
of the greatest composers of all time.

The local authorities in the region where he was born will commemorate him with a series of events
which will involve the principal places where he lived and worked (Italy, Great Britain and France).

Since Bellini(cid:146)s works can be considered as part of the world(cid:146)s cultural heritage, can the Commission say
what moral and financial support it intends to offer to the planned celebrations?

Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(30 October 2000)

The Commission can support cultural initiatives as part of and according to the criteria of the (cid:145)Culture
2000(cid:146) programme, the Union(cid:146)s only financing and programming instrument for cultural cooperation.

In this context, the Commission would like to draw the Honourable Member(cid:146)s attention to the fact that a
call for proposals for projects taking place during 2001 will be published in the Official Journal before the
end of this year and, consequently, actors in this field will then have the opportunity to submit projects for
possible funding.

(2001/C 113 E/249)

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3011/00

by Sebastiano Musumeci (UEN) to the Commission

(19 September 2000)

Subject: Risks to the Sicilian fishing fleet posed by high diesel fuel prices

In Sicily fishing is one of the main sources of income for the many families working in the midst of the
biggest Mediterranean fleets.

Diesel oil, without which fishing is impossible, has recently become prohibitively expensive.

These price increases could paralyse the Sicilian fishing fleet and further jeopardise the already precarious
employment situation in the fisheries sector.

Will the Commission therefore take additional and/or compensatory measures to alleviate the severe
financial hardship being suffered by fishermen, giving particular priority to those based in Objective 1
regions?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(12 October 2000)

The Commission carefully monitors oil prices and shares the Honourable Member(cid:146)s concern over the
economic impact of the rise in fuel prices, notably on the fisheries sector, which it is well aware is
particularly seriously affected owing to the generally high proportion that fuel accounts for in the running
costs of fishing enterprises.
WRITTEN QUESTION E-3005/00 by Bill Miller (PSE) to the Commission. EU human rights aid.

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(15 November 2000)

The Commission(cid:146)s attention has already been drawn by a number of foreign funds to the question of tax
arrangements for share-based investment funds.

1.
The Commission is aware of the Law on Tax Reductions referred to in the Frankfurter Allgemeine
Zeitung of 2 September. It is currently undertaking a detailed comparison of the tax regime for German
and foreign funds in the light of the relevant Community provisions, with particular reference to the non-
discrimination rule.

Depending on the outcome, the Commission may if it sees fit prepare a case under Article 226

2.
(ex Article 169) of the EC Treaty.

(2001/C 151 E/049)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3005/00

by Bill Miller (PSE) to the Commission

(26 September 2000)

Subject: EU human rights aid

There are many organisations which receive EU human rights financial aid.

Could the Commission:

1.

List all those organisations in receipt of such funding and indicate which are government organisa-
tions and which are NGOs?

2. Detail the level of funding allocated to each listed organisation?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(6 November 2000)

Concerning actions financed from Chapter B7-7 of the external relations sector of the budget, the
information requested by the Honourable Member has just been published by the European Human Rights
Foundation, financed by the Commission,
in its (cid:145)Compendium 2000(cid:146). A copy is sent direct to the
Honourable Member and to Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat.

Support for human rights may also be considered for funding from the internal policy section of the
Community budget in accordance with the commentaries for the budget lines covering refugees, asylum
seekers and migrants.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3007/00

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(26 September 2000)

Subject: Town twinning and eligibility criteria

Under the eligibility criteria for town twinning, the EU does not provide financial assistance for exchanges
between towns less than 250 km apart.

Poole (South West England) and Cherbourg (France) have a long-standing twinning agreement, but are
ineligible for a grant because the two towns are less than 250 km apart.
