WRITTEN QUESTION E-1389/01

by Adriana Poli Bortone (UEN) to the Commission

Subject: Crisis in the oriental tobacco sector in Puglia, Italy

(7 May 2001)

There is crisis in the oriental tobacco sector in Salento (Puglia) due to a reduction in production quotas,
which places it at a disadvantage in relation to Greek oriental tobacco in view of the higher level of
Community subsidies available for the latter. This being so, does the Commission intend to take action to
provide a structural solution to the problems of the tobacco sector by introducing, if only as a temporary
measure, Community aid for such products linked to their quality?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(4 July 2001)

The present crisis for Salentini tobaccos arises in essence from the difficulty of selling them despite the
reduction in their production quotas.

Greek oriental tobacco, for which there is good demand, is unaffected. It can be sold at satisfactory prices.

A structural solution to the oriental tobacco problem in Apulia is provided by the production quota buy-
back mechanism designed to facilitate voluntary abandonment of tobacco-growing, introduced when the
common market organisation (CMO) for raw tobacco was overhauled in 1998.

Before the 1998 changes it was also possible under the tobacco CMO to launch rural development
programmes to permit redeployment to other activities in tobacco-growing regions in difficulty.

The Commission has no plans for additional quality-linked measures given that the provisions now in
force already include premium modulation according to quality. Under decisions already adopted by the
Council these modulation provisions have been further strengthened this year.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1391/01

by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission

Subject: Measurement of returns on public investment

(10 May 2001)

Is the Commission aware of studies undertaken to compare ex ante and ex post returns on public
investment in each Member State? Will it rank each Member State in order of its public servants(cid:146) prowess
in accurately forecasting returns on public investment?

Answer given by Mr Solbes Mira on behalf of the Commission

(19 July 2001)

The measurement of returns on public investment is a complex issue as it involves market elements and
factors which are outside the economic sphere. Political considerations play an important role. Forecasting
the return on public investment appears even more difficult, and ex post assessment of its accuracy equally
so. The Commission does not intend to rank national public administrations according to their forecasting
capabilities.
