WRITTEN QUESTION E-0833/03

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(18 March 2003)

Subject: Use of funds from the ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ programme by the City of Frosinone

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 City of Frosinone, urgently need to use European
funds to enhance quality, promote innovation and support the European dimension of vocational training
systems and practices, can the Commission state:

1. whether the City of Frosinone has submitted projects for the Leornardo da Vinci programme?

2. whether the City of Frosinone has secured funding for these projects?

3. whether this funding has been used?

In the absence of an opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health the
5.
Commission made a proposal to the Council which unanimously adopted the proposed regulation making
it applicable as from 1 April 2003. An Application for suspension of the Regulation was rejected by Order
of the President of the Court of First Instance of 11 April 2003 (Case T-392/02 R Solvay Pharmaceuticals
bv v. Council, not yet reported).

6.
Any future decision allowing the use of Nifursol could only be taken in accordance with Directive
70/524 by the Commission, or the Council on a proposal from the latter, and could only be taken if it
would be proven that, notwithstanding its genetoxic affects in vitro Nifursol is safe and thus meets the
requirements of Article 3a of the directive. The Council understands that new data provided by the
producer of Nifursol were assessed by SCAN which on 17 March 2003 confirmed, as in its previous
opinions, that it was not possible to derive an acceptable daily intake of Nifursol for the consumers.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0839/03 by Mario Mauro (PPE-DE) to the Council. Alterations to the technical and administrative structure of Genoa airport.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0839/03

by Mario Mauro (PPE-DE) to the Council

(18 March 2003)

Subject: Alterations to the technical and administrative structure of Genoa airport

In 1980 there came into being in Italy a flight-handling authority which in 1981 was succeeded by a
flight-handling company organised as follows:

(cid:1) four regional flight-handling centres, each run by an executive director;

(cid:1) two main airports (Rome-Fiumicino and Milan-Linate), each run by an executive director;

(cid:1) all other airports, large or small, each run by non-executive staff.

When the technical and administrative structure of the Directorate-General was recently overhauled (on
11 February 2003), airports were subdivided into different categories, even though they all had the same
role and tasks:

(cid:1) four ACCs (Rome, Milan, Padua and Brindisi regional control centres), each run by an executive

director;

(cid:1) three SAAVs (Rome-Fiumicino, Milan-Linate and Milan-Malpensa airports), each run by an executive

director;

(cid:1) eight CAAVs (Bari, Bologna, Catania, Naples, Olbia, Palermo, Turin and Venice airports), each run by

an executive director;

(cid:1) fifteen UAAVs (all other airports which provide control-tower services, including Genoa), each run by

an official;

(cid:1) thirteen NAAVs (airports at which control-tower services are not provided, only an information

service).

The exclusion of Genoa from the CAAVs defies all logic:

(cid:1) Genoa is one of the few Italian airports at which comprehensive services (including a radar service)

have always been provided;

(cid:1) although the airport is not one of the busiest it should undoubtedly be regarded as one of the most
important on account of the fact that it provides comprehensive services, is conveniently situated and
enjoys a good weather record (which means that it has always been used when necessary as a
diversionary airport in northern Italy);

(cid:1) of the eight CAAVs, Bari airport has no radar and in terms of movements is no busier than Genoa,
Catania, although busier, has no radar and provides only control-tower services, whilst Olbia is similar
to Genoa in terms of facilities and number of aircraft movements.

Would the Council say why it was thought that such restructuring was called for?

Reply

(21 July 2003)

With regard to the facts set out in the question regarding the administrative structure of flight-handling
authorities within Italy, and in particular the place of Genoa airport in these arrangements, the Council
informs the Honourable Member of the European Parliament that such matters do not fall within its
competencies.
