WRITTEN QUESTION P-0754/01

by Pasqualina Napoletano (PSE) to the Commission

(7 March 2001)

Subject: Lazio Region(cid:146)s Leader+ programme

Lazio Region(cid:146)s Leader+ programme for the period from 2000-2006 has been submitted to the Commi-
ssion, which has declared it inadmissible. Can the Commission explain why it has done so and say what
guidelines it has given to enable the document to be redrafted in accordance with the criteria governing
the initiative, thus ensuring that the economic players and communities concerned suffer no further
disadvantages?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(3 April 2001)

The Honourable Member(cid:146)s question relates to the admissibility of the Lazio Region Leader+ programme.

On 16 November 2000 the Italian Permanent Representative submitted the Lazio Region programme
under the Leader+ Community Initiative, in accordance with Article 21(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/
1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (the general Regulation) (1) and with point 42
of the Commission notice laying down guidelines for the Leader+ Community Initiative (2).

Article 28 of the general Regulation and point 35 of the Leader+ notice state that the Commission is to
approve Leader+ programmes within not more than five months of the date of receipt, provided that all
the requirements which the general Regulation and the notice stipulate have been met.

On carrying out a basic overall check after receiving notification of
the Lazio Region(cid:146)s Leader+
programme, the Commission found significant deficiencies and a lack of information with regard to
several relevant provisions of the notice.

On 14 December 2000 the Commission accordingly wrote to the Italian Permanent Representative, stating
that the programme was inadmissible and asking the Italian authorities to meet the regulatory require-
ments by incorporating into the proposed programme all the information required for it to deem this
programme admissible as soon as possible.
