WRITTEN QUESTION E-3728/00

by Lord Inglewood (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(30 November 2000)

Subject: BSE in France

Will the Commission ensure that all measures taken by France in response to the recent BSE crisis be taken
and implemented without reference to nationality?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(28 February 2001)

The Commission has followed closely the national measures taken by France and other Member States in
response to recent developments with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). These unilateral
measures have been referred to the Scientific Steering Committee, and their opinion on the merits or
otherwise of these measures is currently being considered by the Commission. It is the intention of the
Commission to act on these opinions in order to bring about harmonisation of these measures. Any
discrimination on grounds of nationality would be an infringement of Community law and treated as such.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3733/00

by Caroline Jackson (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(30 November 2000)

Subject: Birre to Areia extension to the Lisbon-Cascais motorway

It is reported in the local press that Cascais council is paying landowners PTE 10 000 per square metre to
buy their land for the construction of this motorway, while normally land in the area would not fetch
more than PTE 500 per square metre.

Can the Commission state whether this motorway extension is being built with the help of funding from
the EU budget, and if so what steps it is taking to ensure that the money is not being used to pay inflated
prices to landowners?

Supplementary answer
given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(16 February 2001)

According to information from the Portuguese authorities the Birre-Areia extension to the Lisbon-Cascais
motorway has not received Community co-funding.
