The Commission services do undertake an evaluation of all national measures which are necessary for the
implementation of Directives and which are required to be notified to the Commission. However, the
services do not seek to maintain a single up-to-date archive of all such measures on a comprehensive and
continuous basis. Information on the development of Member States(cid:146) regimes is exchanged with Member
States in a variety of ways including through the meetings of various committees of national officials.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1935/01

by Isabelle Caullery (UEN) to the Commission

(29 June 2001)

Subject: Promotion of tourism in Europe

Replying to parliamentary Questions in the past, the Commission has never thought it worthwhile to set
up a European tourism agency.

However, for several years Europe has undoubtedly been the world(cid:146)s leading tourist destination, and
France, which received 75 million visitors in 2000, is now, along with the USA, the world(cid:146)s most visited
country.

In certain European countries(cid:146) balances of payments, tourist activities often rank first among the items
showing a surplus.

Consequently, does not the Commission think it essential and a matter of urgency to set up a European
tourism agency to promote and exploit the EU countries(cid:146) numerous tourist activities?

Can the Commission say whether it intends to propose creation of such an agency?

Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission

(17 September 2001)

The Commission is perfectly aware of the importance of tourism for Europe(cid:146)s economy, through its
contribution to both gross domestic product (GDP) and exports.

Following the conclusions of the June 1999 Council, the Commission worked in close cooperation with
the Member States to maximise the contribution of tourism to growth and employment. It is currently
preparing a communication on this topic, the purpose of which will be to set out the framework for the
future of tourism in Europe, especially with regard to Community activities based on a strategic and
cooperative approach.

However, the Commission can confirm that in the present circumstances it has no plans for setting up
a European tourism agency.
