The Commission’s road safety initiatives, be they studies, subsidies or legislative proposals, will not be
disrupted by this timing.

Regarding the main points of the plan, the Honourable Member should consult the White Paper ‘European
transport policy for 2010: time to decide’ (1), forwarded to the Council and to Parliament, and in particular
Chapter I of the third part thereof.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1266/02

by Heinz Kindermann (PSE) to the Commission

(6 May 2002)

Subject: Protection of European eel stocks and catching of elvers

The river eel (Anguilla anguilla) is an important element in Europe’s aquatic fauna and significant on
economic grounds in the fishing industries of many EU Member States. However, for some decades stocks
have been declining rapidly, to such an extent that the eel must now be regarded as an endangered species.

As artificial reproduction of eels is not yet possible, eel stocks can be maintained in inland waters only by
means of elvers spontaneously swimming upstream or being caught near the coast and moved to inland
waters. However, many elvers caught near Europe’s coasts are used not to restock inland waters in Europe
but for direct human consumption or export to Asia for use in fish farming there.

Is the Commission aware of this problem? What has the Commission done in the past to protect European
eel stocks? What measures is it planning to take in the future? Is consideration being given to banning the
catching of elvers for direct human consumption or for export to Asia?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(13 June 2002)

The Commission is fully aware of the value of European eel both as a fishery resource and as part of
Europe’s natural heritage and is preoccupied by the current status of conservation of European eel
populations. Although the reasons for the decline in the eel population is not fully understood there is
enough evidence to suggest that both excessive fishing pressure as well as habitat degradation have
contributed. Action in at least these two areas seem therefore necessary to ensure the conservation and
sustainable exploitation of this species.

The Commission has been asked to propose conservation measures for European eels. In this context, the
Commission is working on a action plan which will be presented to the Council and the Parliament in
autumn 2002. This action plan will analyse the biological and legal complexity of the management of
European eel, and will explore possibilities for its adequate management. The Commission intends to
debate the ideas of this action plan with Council and Parliament, and to make specific proposals for
management action following such debate.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1273/02

by Ioannis Souladakis (PSE) to the Council

(6 May 2002)

Subject: Subsidies to stock farmers

The Union’s budget for 2002 provides for reductions in subsidies for sheep and goat meat from EUR 970
million to EUR 672 million on the grounds of the rise in prices for sheep and goat meat owing to ‘mad
cow’ disease and the resultant crisis on the meat market in Europe (plummeting consumption of beef and
a corresponding increase in consumption of other kinds of meat (cid:1) lamb, veal etc.).

Owing to differences in diet in southern and Mediterranean Europe, consumption of sheep and goat meat
in Greece is always high and, therefore, the increase in its commercial value resulting from greater demand
was slight and did not match the increase for the same meat in northern Europe. These circumstances and
the fact that subsidies for sheep and goat meat are to remain the same regardless of actual market prices
create problems for sheep and goat farmers in southern Europe, particularly Greece.

Did the Council take account of the particular circumstances of sheep and goat farmers in Greece when
proposing the above cuts and what measures will it take to restore the subsidies to their rightful level?

Reply

(30 September 2002)

The Council

1.
established at the time of the latest reform of the CMO for sheepmeat and goatmeat.

is not currently aware of any proposal seeking to amend the compensation rules

2.
Since his question concerns matters falling within the scope of an analysis of the state of the market
for sheepmeat and goatmeat, the Honourable Member is referred to the European Commission’s reply to
his oral question H-0310/02 during question time at the European Parliament’s part-session from 13 to
16 May 2002.

by Struan Stevenson (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Review of the Common Fisheries Policy

(6 May 2002)

Could the Commission please indicate how fisheries policy would be regulated within European Union
waters in the event of a failure to agree on the review of the Common Fisheries Policy by 31 December
2002?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-1332/02, E-1346/02, E-1364/02 and P-1387/02
given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(29 May 2002)

If the review of the Common Fisheries Policy is not agreed by 31 December 2002, with the sole exception
of the rules relating to access to the 12 mile zones of Member States, the existing rules will remain in force
unless the Commission proposes and the Council adopts other amending Regulations prior to or following
that date.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1333/02

by María Herranz García (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(8 May 2002)

Subject: Promotion of wine

The consumption of wine in Spain and the other main wine-producing countries is continuing to fall,
whilst imports from the American continent, above all, are continuing to grow. Consumption in Spain
alone fell by more than one million hectolitres between 1999 and 2001.
In countries where the
consumption of wine is part of a deep-rooted cultural tradition it is paradoxical that consumption of their
own wine is decreasing in favour of other wines produced outside the EU. According to figures supplied
by agricultural co-operatives, Germany is the only country where there is an increase in consumption, but
this increase is being absorbed by New-World wines. Those in the trade have thought for a number of
years that the only way out of the problem is to introduce effective promotional measures in order to try
to salvage the market.

Could the Commission specify the precise reasons for the decline in consumption and could it explain
what promotional measures are planned both inside and outside the European Union and how much
money is earmarked for them?

If they are to be general promotion measures, does the Commission consider that they will be as effective
as individual promotional measures for specific wines?

Does the Commission consider that the promotional campaigns subsidised by the Community will be on a
scale comparable to the advertising carried out by third countries in the European Union?
