WRITTEN QUESTION E-1884/01

by Michl Ebner (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(27 June 2001)

Subject: Premiums for arable crops (Italy)

With regard to animal premiums, the European Commission is planning to introduce a ceiling for
subsidised animals per holding and per age category. Would it not be sensible to introduce a similar ceiling
for arable crops subsidies, for example 50 hectares, so that holdings would receive support payments only
in respect of that maximum area?

Can the Commission indicate:

(cid:129) how many agricultural holdings in Italy have an area of more than 50 hectares;

(cid:129) how many agricultural holdings in Italy have an area of less than 50 hectares;

(cid:129) if such a measure were introduced, what savings would be made (cid:129) expressed in absolute figures and

as a percentage (cid:129) in the budget devoted to arable crops?

to Written Questions E-1870/01, E-1871/01, E-1872/01, E-1873/01,

findings as soon as possible.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1954/01

by Gianni Vattimo (PSE) to the Commission

(26 June 2001)

Subject: Violation of the principle of equality of access to Mount Athos

Since the 11th century women have been prohibited from entering Mount Athos and its monastery. Law
2623 of 1953 recognises the legitimacy of this ban and imposes penalties in the event of its violation.

The whole area of Mount Athos has been declared a world heritage site by Unesco, but the ban
nonetheless continues, despite the fact that cultural sites should be open to the whole of society. Within
the European Union there is now a substantial body of legislation to combat discrimination on grounds of
gender (cid:129) including the recent 2001-2006 action programme against discrimination.

Does the Commission not consider that this ban is a violation of the individual rights of women and is in
breach of Community legislation? Are there any plans to remedy this situation, bearing in mind that
Mount Athos receives Community funds for its upkeep?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(12 July 2001)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written E-1055/01 by Mr Ford (1).
