Community nationals regardless of nationality. The consequent refusal of the above-mentioned basic
advantages to Community nationals travelling to another Member State as recipients of services could be
considered as discrimination on the grounds of nationality within the meaning of Article 12 of the EC
Treaty read in conjunction with Article 49 (ex Article 59) of the EC Treaty.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2354/02

by Michiel van Hulten (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: European farm subsidy for the Netherlands royal family

(31 July 2002)

According to a report in the Volkskrant newspaper on 16 July 2002 under the headline ‘Beatrix looks
forward to Balkenende’s arrival’, Queen Beatrix told a group of Members of the Netherlands Second
Chamber in February 1999 that the Netherlands royal house had received European subsidies for planting
an olive grove at the Netherlands royal family’s country estate at Porto Ercole in Italy.

Can the Commission confirm that the Netherlands royal house has received subsidies for planting an

1.
olive grove at Porto Ercole, Italy?

Does the Netherlands royal house receive other kinds of European subsidies, from the agricultural

2.
fund or from other funds (such as the European Social Fund)?

3.
Is the subsidy to the Netherlands royal house granted under Article 33, paragraph 1(b) of the Treaty
of Rome, which says that one of the objectives of the common agricultural policy is ‘to ensure a fair
standard of living for the agricultural community, in particular by increasing the individual earnings of
persons engaged in agriculture’? If not, on the basis of what objective was it paid?

4.
Does the Commission agree that insofar as any financial aid is granted to the agriculture sector it
should be restricted to small farms with low incomes, and that even the ceiling of € 300 000 proposed by
Commissioner Fischler is too high in some cases?

Does the Commission share the view that a decision to grant a subsidy should at least be based on

5.
an income and means test? Is it prepared to revise its plans accordingly?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(27 August 2002)

The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its
findings as soon as possible.
