For more details on the forms of State aid compatible with the common market, the attention of the
Honourable Member is drawn to the Guidelines referred to above. Structural assistance available under
FIFG to address the problems highlighted by the rise in fuel prices includes,
for example, aid for
decommissioning fishing vessels, aid for temporary cessation of fishing or pilot projects for the reduction
of fuel consumption in fishing operations.

As indicated in section 1.2. of the Guidelines, State aid (cid:145)which is granted without imposing any obligation
on the part of recipients and which is intended to improve the situation of undertakings and increase their
business liquidity (cid:133) is, as operating aid, incompatible with the common market(cid:146).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0489/01

by Daniel Hannan (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(22 February 2001)

Subject: Sport funding

Does the European Ryder Cup team receive funding from the European Community?

If so,

(cid:129) how much,

(cid:129) from which item, and

(cid:129) what conditions are attached with regard to publicising the European Communities?

Answer given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(11 April 2001)

In the past, the European Ryder Cup team has received Community funding as part of communication
measures. However, in 1998 the Commission decided to end specific funding for sport, and in particular
for the Eurathlon programme, in application of principles established by the Court of Justice (1).

Since then, the European Ryder Cup team has received no more Community funding.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0506/01

by Chris Davies (ELDR) to the Commission

(22 February 2001)

Subject: Accession negotiations with Turkey

The bodies of more than 2 000 Greek Cypriots, said to have been killed by the Turkish armed forces
shortly after their invasion of Cyprus in 1974, are believed to lie in unmarked graves in the so-called
(cid:145)Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus(cid:146); the bodies of some hundreds of Turkish Cypriots killed at the same
time are also said to lie to the south of the Green Line.

The (cid:145)TRNC(cid:146) authorities have to date refused requests that the graves be opened so that the bodies of these
missing Cypriots can be identified, despite the fact that the Cypriot Government has offered to do the
same, and that such action would assist conciliation between the two communities.

Has the Commission asked for assistance from the Government of Turkey in bringing pressure to bear on
the (cid:145)TRNC(cid:146) authorities to identify the missing persons killed by the Turkish armed forces in Cyprus, which
is also an applicant for EU membership, and, if not, will it do so?

Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission

(2 May 2001)

The Honourable Member makes reference to the question of missing persons in Cyprus following the
events of 1974. The Commission understands that 1 493 cases were submitted by the Greek Cypriot side
to the United Nations Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) set up in 1981 to investigate and determine
the fate of missing persons (seven have since been confirmed as dead). 500 cases were submitted by the
Turkish Cypriot side (which cover the period since 1963). In 1997 the two sides agreed to provide all the
information available to them to help resolve the issue but there have been no further developments in
this process since 1998.

This matter can be further addressed in the framework of the Union(cid:146)s enhanced political dialogue with
Turkey.

Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking Shell Petroleum NV (Netherlands) and Halliburton Company (USA) acquire joint
control, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, by purchase of shares in a newly created
company constituting a joint venture (Welldynamics).

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Shell Petroleum NV is a holding company within the Royal Dutch Shell group with worldwide activities

in exploration and production of oil and natural gas, oil products, chemicals, etc.,

oilfield products and services),

(cid:151) Welldynamics: holding company that will take over PES; currently a subsidiary of Halliburton. PES will
