Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(25 October 2000)

The Commission intends to make action by the Structural Funds more transparent and, to this end, aims
to make mountain regions more aware of the opportunities available to them under Community policies.
This has also led to the Commission recently publishing a booklet on structural policies and mountain
areas.

Furthermore, during 2002 the Commission is planning to organise a seminar for the International Year of
Mountains explaining how to better mobilise Community policies in mountain regions.

the
The existence of an Alpine Region is recognised in strand B,

to finance cooperation projects throughout the Community(cid:146)s alpine regions, which cover Austria and parts
of Germany, France and Italy.

Lastly, the Commission is currently preparing the second report on economic and social cohesion which
should launch the debate on the future cohesion policy, in the context of an enlarged Community.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3074/00

by Mikko Pes(cid:228)l(cid:228) (ELDR) and Samuli Pohjamo (ELDR) to the Commission

(2 October 2000)

Subject: Information about funding available for the Nordic dimension

Could the Commission compile a pamphlet about the funding available for the Nordic dimension?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(16 November 2000)

The Commission does not at this stage plan to publish a booklet on the Community(cid:146)s northern dimension.

It should be pointed out that financial aid allocated to Member States, including the Nordic countries, is
publicised in the monthly newsletter Inforegio News (produced in the eleven Community languages) and
by means of specific information disseminated via the Inforegio Internet site (http://inforegio.cec.eu.int).

Also, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1159/2000 of 30 May 2000 on information and publicity measures
to be carried out by the Member States concerning assistance from the Structural Funds (1) requires
Member States to inform potential beneficiaries about the opportunities offered by joint assistance under
the Funds.

Lastly, the Commission(cid:146)s offices in each Member State also relay information on all Community activities.

by Carlos Ripoll y Mart(cid:237)nez de Bedoya (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(2 October 2000)

Subject: Aid to agriculture

The OECD has published a report on agricultural aid granted in 1999, which shows that in the states of
the OECD such aid is on the increase. In addition, the United States has decided to increase aid to
agriculture by USD 15 billion, with direct subsidies and crop insurance.

Overall, this equates to an increase of approximately 700 % in direct support to US agriculture since 1996.

On the basis of the aid granted to the agricultural sector in 1998, 1999 and 2000, US farmers receive
three times more aid than European farmers.

Furthermore,
Member States of the EU.

the US refers frequently to the need to reduce aid to the agricultural sector in the
