WRITTEN QUESTION E-1997/01 by María Rodríguez Ramos (PSE)and Carlos Westendorp y Cabeza (PSE) to the Commission. Expiry of the ECSC Treaty and coal aid.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1997/01

by Mar(cid:237)a Rodr(cid:237)guez Ramos (PSE)
and Carlos Westendorp y Cabeza (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Expiry of the ECSC Treaty and coal aid

(6 July 2001)

At the recent EU Intergovernmental Conference the Member States rejected the idea of giving the EU
powers in energy-related matters. Since the ECSC Treaty expires on 23 July 2002, it could be argued that
there is no longer any clear legal basis for EU intervention in an energy sector whose production is not
traded between the Member States.

What legal basis is the Commission intending to adopt for the purpose of regulating State aid to energy
sources, including coal?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1998/01

by Mar(cid:237)a Rodr(cid:237)guez Ramos (PSE)
and Carlos Westendorp y Cabeza (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Expiry of the ECSC Treaty and coal aid

(6 July 2001)

the Commission
In its Green Paper on a European strategy for safeguarding the energy supply,
acknowledges that the State aid allocated to the various energy sources is not transparent. Such a
statement surely does not apply to Community coal aid, which is transparent on account of
the
requirement for authorisation which is laid down in the ECSC Treaty.

The same Green Paper also states that there is currently no accurate Community list of all the forms of aid
which the Member States assign to the various energy products and it proposes starting to draw up a list
of the State aid made available to energy sources.

In the light of this conclusion and the expiry of the ECSC Treaty on 23 July 2002, does the Commission
consider that it is able to ensure fair treatment for all energy sources, including coal?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2000/01

by Mar(cid:237)a Rodr(cid:237)guez Ramos (PSE)
and Carlos Westendorp y Cabeza (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Expiry of the ECSC Treaty and coal aid

(6 July 2001)

23 July 2002 is the date upon which the ECSC Treaty and Decision 3632/93/ECSC (1) (governing the
authorisation of coal aid) will expire. In view of the urgent need for a new aid scheme to be adopted, the
Commission must already have drawn up a timetable for negotiations on this matter and have set
priorities. What is the Commission(cid:146)s timetable for dealing with this matter?
