COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1144/2001

of 11 June 2001

fixing, for the purposes of Regulation (EC) No 411/97, the ceiling for Community financial
assistance granted to producer organisations setting up operational funds for 2000

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/97 of 3
March 1997 laying down detailed rules for the application of
Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards operational
programmes, operational funds and Community financial assis-
tance (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1923/1999 (2),
and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 15(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 (3),
as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No
911/2001 (4), provides for the granting of Community
financial assistance to producer organisations setting up
operational funds. Paragraph 5 of that Article provides
that from 1999, financial assistance is to be capped at
4,5 % of the value of the marketed production of each
producer organisation, provided that the total financial
assistance represents less than 2,5 % of the total turn-
over of all producer organisations.

in respect of 2000 by producer organisations amounts
to EUR 342,46 million against a total turnover of all
producer organisations of EUR 12 753,69 million. The
ceiling for the abovementioned Community financial
assistance should therefore be set at 3,4780 % of the
value of marketed production of each producer organ-
isation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Community financial assistance provided for in Article
15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 shall be capped at
3,4780 % of
the value of marketed production of each
producer organisation for aid applications in respect of 2000.

Article 2

tion (EC) No 411/97, the financial assistance applied for

(2004/C 78 E/0357)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1653/01

by Professor Sir Neil MacCormick (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

Subject: Restitution of property in the applicant countries

(11 June 2001)

I refer to my Written Question E-0998/00 (1) to the Council. Recent developments in Poland appear to
have blocked the possibility of assets being restored to Jewish and other émigrés from Poland. Will the
Commission please state whether it believes that to be the case and, if so, what bearing the Commission
considers this to have on the eligibility of Poland for early accession to the Union?

(1) OJ C 81 E, 13.3.2001, p. 13.

Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission

(24 July 2001)

The Polish law on the restitution of property has been vetoed by the President and there was an
insufficient majority in the Polish Parliament to overturn the veto when the law was returned for the vote.

In issuing his veto, the President made clear that claimants were in a position to seek compensation, as the
existing legal framework in Poland allows for such cases to be heard by the courts.

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to the answer to his Written Question E-998/00 (1).
In this instance there is no specific ‘acquis’ relating to the question raised by the Honourable Member.

The Commission will continue to monitor closely the applicant countries’ compliance with the principle of
non-discrimination, enshrined in the treaties.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1721/01

by Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(6 June 2001)

Subject: Net budget transfers

On 31 January 2001 the Commission submitted its second report on economic and social cohesion, in
which it concluded that Portugal was a net contributor to the CAP. In answer to my Written Question
P-0897/01, the Commission supplied the study on which it had based that conclusion, taking into account
the effects of agricultural trade within the Community and with non-Community partners. The same
reasoning could be applied to the budget overall, allowing for the financial balances and the effects of
trade as a whole within the Community and with non-Community partners.
