Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(31 January 2002)

The Regional Policy Directorate-General does not part-finance projects but regional and multiregional
development programmes.

Under Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (1),
the evaluation and selection of the projects is not a matter for the Commission but for the regional and
national managing authorities, to which these projects should in any case be submitted. These authorities
are required to keep data available for the Commission for inspection purposes.

The Commission therefore invites the Honourable Member to ask the authorities of the regions concerned
for a list of projects submitted and approved during 2000 and 2001.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2703/01

by Mario Mauro (PPE-DE) to the Council

(4 October 2001)

Subject: G8 meeting in Genoa

The European Community, as created by De Gasperi, Adenauer and Schuman, was intended as a means of
overcoming the selfishness of states and of encouraging solidarity with the world’s poorer regions.

At the G8 meeting, the democratically elected leaders of some of the most advanced countries of the world
held their periodic discussions on a few of the innumerable serious problems affecting the life of the
planet. For the first time, representatives of the European Union, the UN and a number of poor countries
were invited to the meeting. A number of measures were adopted with respect to the poorer countries
which, without resolving the problems, at least represent a small step towards cancellation of the debt and
a possible improvement in health conditions.

In the light of the above, how does the Council intend to follow up the conclusions of the Genoa Summit
over the coming months?

Reply

(1 March 2002)

The Council attaches the utmost importance to the conclusions of G8 meetings, which are attended not
only by the Member States represented in G8 but also, at the invitation of the G8 Presidency, by the
Presidency of the EU Council and the Presidency of the Commission.

While it is not bound by the conclusions of G8 meetings, the Council will certainly take the results of the
July meeting of the G8 in Genoa into account. It welcomes the fact that this meeting was essentially
devoted to development problems and provided an opportunity to discuss certain questions at the centre
of
the Union’s development cooperation policy, notably the fight against poverty, market access,
indebtedness and public health issues.
