WRITTEN QUESTION E-1003/03

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(27 March 2003)

Subject: Use of funds from the decentralised cooperation programme 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 actions and initiatives encouraging sustainable development undertaken by
operators in the Community and in developing countries,

can the Commission state:

1. whether

the municipality of Terni has

submitted projects

for

the decentralised cooperation

programme?

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

3. whether this funding has been used?

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 promote cooperation between regional operators from different geographical areas with a view to
creating a common project based on the sharing of experience or know-how, to promote decentralisation,
thereby encouraging the development of competencies at regional and local level, and to strengthen the
operating capacity and working methods of local and regional authorities in Central and Eastern European
countries, as well as those of socio-economically underdeveloped regions of the EU, can the Commission
state:

1. whether the City of Frosinone has submitted projects for the Ecos-Ouverture II programme?

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

3. whether this funding has been used?
