WRITTEN QUESTION E-1977/01

by Juan Naranjo Escobar (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(5 July 2001)

Subject: The threat posed by desertification to the life of the planet

On World Day to Combat Desertification, the United Nations issued further warnings regarding the terrible
consequences of this phenomenon. As a result of the loss of fertile land and the reduction in agricultural
productivity caused by drought and desertification, every year thousands of people are displaced in their
search for new land to enable them to survive. Last year, hundreds of thousands of people left their homes
in eastern Africa, while fires destroyed hundreds of millions of hectares of forest in America and southern
Europe.

In an attempt to combat the grave consequences of drought and the loss of fertile land, seven years ago a
United Nations Convention on the subject was adopted, as a result of which many developing countries
adopted national action programmes to coordinate their efforts.

In practice, however, mobilising the financial effort necessary to combat drought and desertification
continues to pose a huge problem.

Answer given by Mrs Wallstr(cid:246)m on behalf of the Commission

(20 September 2001)

The Commission has no knowledge of the problem mentioned by the Honourable Member.

For this reason it has just sent a request to the Spanish authorities for information on the facts as stated, so
as to determine the most appropriate way to implement the Community legislation applicable.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2087/01

by Chris Davies (ELDR) to the Commission

(5 July 2001)

Subject: European Commission office in occupied Cyprus

Will the Commission state whether it intends to open an office in the occupied part of Cyprus, and, if so,
what will be the intended purpose of this office, where is it hoped it will be located, what budget will be
allocated towards its operation, how many staff will it employ, who will manage it, and who will be this
person(cid:146)s line-manager?

If it is the intention of the Commission to open such an office, what has been the reaction of the
Government of Cyprus and of the authorities in occupied Cyprus to the proposal?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(31 July 2001)

The Commission has a Delegation in Nicosia and has no intention of opening another representation in
Cyprus.

As part of the Commission(cid:146)s efforts to inform the Turkish Cypriot community about the Union, the acquis
and the benefits of membership, the Commission is planning to recruit a Turkish Cypriot local agent, who
will be based in the Delegation in Nicosia under the management of the Head of Delegation.

The Commission is also examining with representatives of the business community, ways and means to
improve the flow of information concerning the Union in the north.

The Government of the Republic of Cyprus supports these initiatives.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2090/01

by Jens-Peter Bonde (EDD) to the Commission

Subject: The Sixth Framework Programme for Research in the EU

(13 July 2001)

Why has research into diseases been scaled down under the Sixth Framework Programme for Research,
and why have certain diseases been left out of the programme altogether?

Answer given by Mr Busquin on behalf of the Commission

(24 September 2001)

The Commission does not envisage that disease-related research will be scaled down under the next
Framework Programme compared to the Fifth Framework Programme for Research and technological
development. The proposed budget should actually increase the amount of funding available for such
research.
