WRITTEN QUESTION E-0970/03

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(26 March 2003)

Subject: Utilisation of SAVE II and Altener II funds by the municipality of Pistoia

In September 2002, the monitoring committee of the Italian ministry of the economy presented its
statement on the expenditure of funding made available by the European Union.

Its research showed that some local authorities were worryingly slow and inefficient in awarding projects.

The European Commission has also emphasised concern on various occasions at the under-utilisation of
European funding by local authorities.

Considering that, in particular, some local municipalities such as Pistoia are in great need of European
funding to limit carbon dioxide emissions, improve air quality and combat pollution, can the Commission
indicate:

1. whether the municipality of Pistoia has submitted any projects under the SAVE II or Altener II

programmes;

2. whether the municipality of Pistoia has received funding for those projects;

3. whether that funding has been utilised?
