by Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(19 December 2002)

Subject:

‘ABEJ (cid:1) Solidarités’

’ABEJ (cid:1) Solidarités’, based in Lille (France), is an association which performs important work with street
children. Its work, however, is now being put at risk thanks to a 55 % cut in the health budget for 2003.

Between 700 and 800 recipients of help at street level could be affected by this, with the consequent
worsening of social exclusion.

Can the Commission explain the reasons for the reduction in support to associations of this kind, and state
what measures it intends to take to prevent social exclusion from becoming worse?

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(30 January 2003)

The Commission has no information concerning the reduction of the aid granted to the French association
‘ABEJ (cid:1) Solidarités’. The amount of this aid is determined solely by the French Government when
adopting the national annual budget.

An analysis of the efforts made by the governments of the Member States to combat poverty and social
exclusion is to be conducted by the Commission, in partnership with the Member States, when the second
series of national action plans to combat poverty and social exclusion is presented in July 2003. The
results of this analysis will be given in the second joint report on social inclusion, to be submitted to the
European Council in spring 2004.

Whereas:

(1) The accounts of the European Central Bank and of the national central banks of the Eurosystem are
audited by independent external auditors recommended by the Governing Council and approved by
the Council of the European Union.

the external auditor expected for the middle of 2003 and due to the policy of inviting tenders at

the external auditor should be for five years,
