WRITTEN QUESTION E-1034/01

by Esko Sepp(cid:228)nen (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(3 April 2001)

Subject: Common security and defence policy

The structures of the EU(cid:146)s new security and defence policy (ESDP) are very complicated and the decision-
making process is unclear. It appears that the Member States are delegating political leadership to their
own special representative at the Council(cid:146)s secretariat. Has it been decided what will be the Commission(cid:146)s
role in the preparation of the ESDP, and how will decisions be made about the deployment of rapid
reaction troops when the time comes?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(11 May 2001)

The Commission is fully involved in the common foreign and security policy (CFSP), of which the security
and defence policy (ESDP) forms part, and it takes part in the deliberations in the context of the second
pillar of the Union, notably in the Political and Security Committee.

The Commission is very active in the prevention and management of civil crises but is not directly
involved in the development of military structures and capacities.

The arrangements for the deployment of rapid reaction troops are the responsibility of the Council so the
Commission feels that this question should be put direct to the Council.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1035/01

by Sebastiano Musumeci (UEN) to the Commission

Subject: Penalisation of cereal growers in Noto (Sicily)

(3 April 2001)

In the 1998/1999 crop year the harvests of cereal growers in the commune of Noto (Sicily) were greatly
reduced as a result of a freak drought.

Having ascertained a shortfall in relation to the minimum requirements laid down in the Community
legislation governing additional aid for durum wheat, AIMA, the Italian State intervention agency, enforced
Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (1), which rules out the aid in question when the discrepancy
between the declared area normally under crops and the area actually determined is found to be greater
than 20 %. An area as large as 4 831 hectares consequently failed to qualify for additional aid for durum
wheat, which has therefore not been paid, severely penalising the cereal sector, the mainstay of Noto(cid:146)s
economy.

In a note dated 25 August 2000 the Commission inexplicably rejected the request from the Italian
Ministry for Agricultural Policies for the above-mentioned Article 9 to be waived.
