The LIFE project beneficiary (Municipality of Aglientu) indicated in the application (Form 99/10) that,
within the threshold set in the urban plan, they intended to limit to a maximum of 350 000 square metre
the total building volume within the proposed Site of Community Importance. They also explicitly
mentioned that this would be done in full respect of the applicable regional, national and Community law
and, in particular, with reference to article 6 of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the
conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (1).

Community funded projects have to comply with Community law. The project decision and conditions
reinforce this obligation and the commitment by the beneficiary to enforce it.

The case, referred to in the complaint, is under assessment. The Commission will take appropriate steps,
including infringement procedures under Article 226 of the EC Treaty, in order to ensure the observance of
Community law.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3426/02

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(2 December 2002)

Subject: Take-up of appropriations under the Daphne Programme by the Municipality of Fiumicino

In September 2002 the monitoring committee of the Italian Ministry of Finance published a statement
showing expenditure of funds provided by the EU.

The outcome of the survey gave particular cause for concern regarding the slowness and inefficiency of
local authorities in selecting projects, with funds earmarked for the year 2000 amounting to only 2 % of
total CSF appropriations.

The Commission also has repeatedly expressed serious concern regarding the inadequate take-up of
European funds by local authorities.

Given that it is particularly important for certain local authorities, for example, the Municipality of
Fiumicino,
the abuse of women and children, can the
Commission provide the following information:

to utilise Community funding to combat

1. Has the Municipality of Fiumicino submitted projects under the Daphne Programme?

2. Was the Municipality of Fiumicino was awarded funding for these projects?

3. Were the funds in question utilised?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(22 January 2003)

The Daphne Programme has not received any proposals from the Municipality of Fiumicino since 1997.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2148/2002

of 2 December 2002

on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(3)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001
of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council
Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit
and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1176/2002 (2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002 (3) fixes the
indicative quantities for system B export licences other
than those sought in the context of food aid.

In the light of the information available to the Commis-
sion today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities
laid down for the current export period for tomatoes
and table grapes will shortly be exceeded. This overrun
will prejudice the proper working of the export refund
scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.

To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences
for tomatoes and table grapes exported after 2 December
2002 should be rejected until the end of the current
export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B export licences for tomatoes and
table grapes submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC)
No 1886/2002, export declarations for which are accepted
after 2 December 2002 and before 15 January 2003, are
hereby rejected.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 3 December 2002.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

by Monica Frassoni (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(2 December 2002)

Subject: Failure to act against unauthorised building in the Molentargius-Saline, Cagliari-Quartu S. Elena

In the agricultural area of Is Arenas-Medau su Cramu in the municipalities of Cagliari and Quartu S. Elena,
