WRITTEN QUESTION E-0688/01

by Jaime Valdivielso de CuØ (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(8 March 2001)

Subject: Fisheries

On 1 February 2001 the Commission opened an investigation into a number of Member States, including
Spain, on the grounds that they had provided low-interest loans to fishermen particularly affected by the
continual increases in the price of the diesel fuel used by their vessels.

On the basis of what data and criteria has the Commission opened this investigation?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(10 April 2001)

As in the case of any aid scheme concerning the fisheries and aquaculture sector, the aid measures for
fishermen in Spain following the rise in the cost of the fuel were analysed in the light of the Commission
guidelines for the examination of State aid to fisheries and aquaculture (1). The basic criterion adopted by
the Commission in its decision to formally open a procedure with regard to these measures is that these
are operating aids which are in principle incompatible with the common market.

The guidelines have just been replaced by those adopted by the Commission on 29 November 2000 (2).
These new guidelines contain the same general principle that operating aids are incompatible with the
common market.
