WRITTEN QUESTION P-1341/02

by Struan Stevenson (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Access to information on fisheries policy

(2 May 2002)

Publication of the first package of legislative reforms of the Common Fisheries Policy is currently delayed
for at least another month. However, copies of the proposals under discussion have been circulating freely
for the some weeks. Many NGOs and industry organisations apparently have access to drafts but MEPs
cannot officially obtain copies even of those parts of the package not still under negotiation. In the
the
interests of a level playing field for information and meaningful consultation with MEPs will
Commission formally review its procedures for providing draft copies to interested parties,
including
MEPs?

Joint answer
to Written Questions P-1319/02, P-1325/02 and P-1341/02
given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(22 May 2002)

The Commission would like to inform the Honourable Members that it has not given access to or sent out
copies of
its draft proposals on the Common Fischeries Policy (CFP) reform to non-governmental
organisations (NGO’s), industry organisations or to any other stakeholders.

The CFP reform proposals will be published upon adoption by the Commission, in accordance with the
relevant rules and procedures.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1327/02

by Nirj Deva (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(2 May 2002)

Subject: Fisheries subsidies

Could the Commission tell me which companies are the beneficiaries of EU fisheries subsidies in each
Member State?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(22 May 2002)

structural programme monitoring purposes

For
implementation report but this does not list the projects financed.

the Commission receives each year an annual

However in the case of projects financed from the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance such a list is
compulsory (Commission Regulation (EEC) No 366/2001 of 22 February 2001 laying down detailed rules
for implementing the measures provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 (1)).

Given that for the period 1994-1999 alone some 30 000 projects were financed from the FIFG the
Commission asks the Honourable Member to make his question more precise by specifying year,
investment type, measure etc.

COM(2002) 216 final

(Submitted by the Commission on 2 May 2002)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of
varieties of agricultural plant species (1), and in particular Article 21(1)(b) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable
seed (2), and in particular Article 32(1)(b) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1) Council Decision 97/788/EC of 17 November 1997 on the equivalence of checks on practices for the
maintenance of varieties carried out in third countries (3) determined that the official checks on
practices for the maintenance of varieties carried out in certain third countries afford the same
guarantees as those carried out by the Member States. That Decision expired in the case of certain
third countries on 30 June 1999, and in the case of other third countries it will expire on 30 June
2002.

(2) It appears that the checks carried out in the third countries in accordance with the Decision 97/788/EC

continue to afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States.

(3) Decision 97/788/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 3 of Decision 97/788/EC is replaced by the following:

Article 1

‘Article 3

This Decision shall apply from 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1999 and from (the date of adoption of

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 724/2002 suspending
the buying-in of butter in certain Member States (5)
establishes the most recent list of Member States in
which intervention is suspended. This list must be
adjusted as a result of the market prices communicated
by Belgium and Luxembourg under Article 8 of Regula-
tion (EC) No 2771/1999. In the interests of clarity, the
list in question should be replaced and Regulation (EC)
No 724/2002 should be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Buying-in of butter by invitation to tender as provided for in
Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 is hereby
suspended in Denmark, Greece, Austria and Sweden.

(1)

Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 lays down

suspended by the Commission in a Member State, as
appropriate, once it is observed that, for two weeks in
succession, the market price in that Member State is
below or equal to or above 92 % of the intervention
price.

Regulation (EC) No 724/2002 is hereby repealed.
