In its reply to my Written Question E-0250/01 (1), the Commission did not reply to the second of my
questions. Given that several of the current applicant countries made peaceful and democratic use of the
right to self-determination in the last decade of the 20th century, what is the Commission(cid:146)s position on the
peaceful and democratic exercise of the right to self-determination?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1292/01

by Mar(cid:237)a Rodr(cid:237)guez Ramos (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Closure of the Delphi Packard plant in Olvega (Spain)

(3 May 2001)

The Delphi Packard company, which received a large amount of publicly funded start-up aid from the
Autonomous Community of Castilla y Le(cid:243)n and the province of Soria for its plant in Olvega, has taken the
unilateral decision to close that plant, the driving force behind industrial development in the Moncayo
area, with the loss of 520 jobs.

Delphi Packard, a multinational company, invests Ptas 10 000 million each year in its Olvega plant. The
profits in excess of Ptas 1 000 million generated by that plant are evidence of its viability.

The hasty announcement of the closure and the treatment of the workers at the plant, who have been
presented with a letter of undertaking requiring them to sign up to a transfer or take voluntary
redundancy, constitute a breach of Spanish employment law.

Given that its plant is situated in an Objective 1 region, will the Commission say whether Delphi Packard
has received assistance of any kind from EU Structural Funds?

If so, what steps can the Commission take to ensure that Delphi Packard complies with the undertakings
that it would have given in order to receive assistance from those Funds?

Has the Commission discussed the arguments for and against a tax on speculative capital flows?

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1302/01

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

(19 April 2001)

Subject: Sheep subsidies and animal movements

Will the Commission describe in detail the method of control used for payments under various subsidy
schemes to sheep farmers in the UK, and whether this system varies from Member State to Member State?

Is there any reason to believe that this system of payments, or its controls, has given rise to the practice of
(cid:145)bed and breakfasting(cid:146) sheep, whereby sheep are loaned for a period to a particular farm to make up the
numbers, and if so, has this system contributed to the number of animal movements, and by how much?

Has it also contributed to the spread of food and mouth disease and, if so, does the Commission propose
to suspend or change the system of control forthwith?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(1 June 2001)

Subsidy schemes involving direct payments to farmers, such as the ewe premium, are covered by the
Integrated Administration and Control System. This system, established in Council Regulation (EEC)
No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for
certain Community aid schemes (1), clearly sets down the control requirements, which are applicable in all
