WRITTEN QUESTION E-0420/02

by Jonas Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

Subject: Package of measures to reduce live animal exports

(21 February 2002)

EU livestock export refunds have been repeatedly criticised for encouraging the transport of live animals to
non-Community countries under horrific conditions.

What measures is the Commission prepared to adopt to reduce, and in the longer term abolish, the export
of live animals to non-Community countries?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-0418/02 and E-0420/02
given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(4 April 2002)

The total amount of export refunds paid in 2001 for livestock exports was € 44,4 million (1). In recent
years subsidies paid for cattle traded for slaughtering were reduced significantly from 60,50 €/100
kilogram (kg) (in 1999) to 41,00 €/100 kg (−32 %). The export refund for breeding cattle was reduced
from 63,00 €/100kg to 53,00 €/100 kg (−16 %).

Concerning the measures to reduce live animal exports, the Commission would refer the Honourable
Member to its answer to written question P-0480/02 by Mr de Rossa (2). (It should be noted that the report
of the Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare on the welfare of animals during
transport was adopted on 11 March 2002.)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0424/02

by Jonas Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL) to the Council

(22 February 2002)

Subject: Compensation from Israel for the destruction of EU projects

How does the Council intend to exert pressure on Israel to pay for the damage it has caused to EU-funded
Palestinian projects? Would international sanctions and trade embargoes be a way of making Israel pay
compensation for the damage it has caused?

Reply

(21 May 2002)

The Council would refer the Honourable Member to the reply to Written Question 0112/02 put by Emilio
Menéndez del Valle on the same subject.

Scientific work on acoustic alarms is in progress, with the support of Community funds to tackle the issue
of incidental catches of small cetaceans.

Preliminary information from sea trials on the use of pingers in pelagic trawls however are not
encouraging and probably, a solution should be sought through the use of different selection/separator
devices. Trials along both lines are currently being undertaken in the United Kingdom.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0385/02

by Bernard Poignant (PSE) to the Commission

(21 February 2002)

Subject: Recreational fishing

In the context of the reform of the common fisheries policy the European Parliament has submitted its
report on the Green Paper (A5-0470/2001). There is absolutely no mention of recreational or leisure
fishing in either the report or the Green Paper.

However, it appears that such fishing has economic repercussions in coastal regions and also that the
fishermen involved have quite an extensive knowledge of the marine environment.

Has the Commission already carried out studies into the social and economic status of recreational fishing
in the European Union? If not, does it intend to do so? What status does it intend to give to recreational
fishing?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(11 March 2002)

The Commission is aware of the importance the economic and social repercussions recreational fishing can
have in coastal regions. In some of those regions recreational fishing represents a necessary adjunct to
traditional fishing, providing the people living there with an essential source of income.

At the same time it has to be recognised that leisure fishing activities differ appreciably according to the
regions in which they are carried on. Proposing a framework for action across the whole of
the
Community covering the different kinds of fishing would be difficult therefore. The Commission takes the
view, as indicated in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a
Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), that it is a matter first for the Member States to see to
it that recreational and leisure fishing activities are consistent with the management of stocks.

Because of the differences in situations from one region to another the Commission has not considered it
advisable to carry out studies on this aspect of the industry. As it explained to the heads of the European
associations, studies of this kind are very costly to undertake and would not make it possible to arrive at
practical conclusions.
