WRITTEN QUESTION E-0046/02

by Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(24 January 2002)

Subject: Community funds

(Northern Cork Workers’ Union) maintains that,
The ‘Sindicato Operário dos Corticeiros do Norte’
although it has received substantial Community financial support,
‘A Corticeira Amorim, SGPS, SA’,
Portugal’s largest cork producer, based in Santa Maria da Feira, is pressing workers of all ages to agree to
termination of their employment contracts.

Bearing in mind that
Commission say:

the unemployment situation in Portugal

is deteriorating alarmingly, can the

1. what Community financial support has been granted to ‘A Corticeira Amorim, SGPS, SA’, and for

what purposes;

2. what it will do to help preserve jobs in the companies belonging to the above-mentioned group?

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(25 March 2002)

In accordance with Article 8(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down
general provisions on the Structural Funds (1) for the programming period 2000-2006, in application of
the subsidiarity principle, the implementation of assistance shall be the responsibility of Member States.

Accordingly, the Commission is unable to provide the Honourable Member with information about the
amounts and the terms of the Community funds granted to specific companies and suggests she contact
the appropriate Portuguese authorities. I enclose their details: Instituto de Gestão do Fundo Social Europeu,
Rua Castilho no 5, 7o/8o, 1250-066 Lisboa.

The Commission cannot directly support specific companies in order to preserve jobs. They must go
through the selection procedures for projects cofinanced under the Structural Funds, as laid down by the
national authorities.
