WRITTEN QUESTION E-1138/03

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(1 April 2003)

Subject: Use of funds from the action programme for migrant workers by the municipality of Terni

In September 2002, the monitoring committee of the Italian Ministry for Economic Affairs issued a report
on the spending of EU funds.

The report reveals the alarming slowness and inefficiency with which EU funds are allocated to projects by
some regional authorities.

The grave concerns about the inadequate use of European funds by local authorities have frequently been
echoed by the Commission.

Bearing in mind that some local authorities, such as the municipality of Terni, urgently need to use
European funds to support migrant workers, including those from outside the Community, in order to
guarantee them the best conditions in which to live and integrate with the local community, in terms of
both work and social conditions,

Can the Commission state:

1. whether the municipality of Terni has submitted projects for the action programme for migrant

workers?

2. whether the municipality of Terni has secured funding for these projects?

3. whether this funding has been used?

given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(28 April 2003)

There is currently no Action Programme for Migrant Workers at Community level. The Commission
recalls that funding for measures to promote the integration of migrant workers, under Budget Line
B3-4110, was suspended in 1998 following the judgement of the European Court of Justice in Case C-
106/96. No funding has been awarded in this field since that date.

A new programme to promote the integration of third country nationals, under Budget line B5-815, will
be launched by the Commission (Directorate General Justice and Home Affairs) in May 2003.
