WRITTEN QUESTION E-4159/00

by Wolfgang Ilgenfritz (NI) to the Commission

(16 January 2001)

Subject: BSE crisis

In its 2001 budget, the Union has allocated € 65,5 million for BSE testing and a further € 6 billion to
support beef farmers. It is already known that these amounts will certainly not be enough, as the cost of
the BSE crisis in Europe is rather higher than was assumed.

Will the Commission therefore state:

1. Whether it will take steps to ensure that Parliament and the Council adopt a supplementary budget

making additional funds available to deal with the BSE crisis?

2.

If so, what amount will it propose?

3. Whether estimates or more accurate calculations of the expected cost of dealing with the BSE crisis in

Europe in 2001 and subsequent years are already available?

4. Whether estimates or more accurate forecasts already exist as to the categories of people or interest
groups in Europe that will suffer most as a result of the BSE crisis and will therefore need additional
assistance from the Member States and the European Union?

5. Whether any definite ideas have been formulated (in negotiations or talks) on how the funds made
available by the Union to deal with the BSE crisis are to be divided out amongst the Member States
and as to the proportion of the cost which the various Member States will have to bear themselves?

6.

In what proportions the budget appropriations available now, and to be made available in future
(supplementary budget), are to be allocated to the affected groups?

(a) How much of the total amount are the affected cattle farmers to receive?

(b) How much of the total amount are the affected feed manufacturers to receive?

(c) How much of the total amount are other producers, such as in the beef-processing sector (meat-

processing plants, sausage factories, slaughterhouses, etc.) to receive?

(d) How much of the total amount are other affected groups to be paid?

7. Whether any ideas have been formulated or decisions taken as to when and in what form the

payments are to be made to the groups that have suffered losses?

Will the Commission take steps to ensure that particular categories such as farms, slaughterhouses, beef-
processing firms, feed manufacturers, etc., who have been particularly hard hit by the BSE crisis and have
ended up in this situation through no fault of their own, receive emergency assistance so as to prevent
them going out of business (bankruptcy owing to lengthy closure)? An emergency assistance fund ought to
be set up for this purpose.

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(8 February 2001)

The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its
findings as soon as possible.
