WRITTEN QUESTION P-1511/03

(28 April 2003)

Will the Commission provide the report it based this decision?

Will it also provide the IT audit report of Portuguese paying agencies mentioned in point 2.59 of the
Court of Auditors report, as well as any other audit reports which the Commission carried out in this
connection?

(1) OJ C 295, 28.11.2002, p. 58.

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(16 June 2003)

The financial correction proposed by the Commission in the case of the Portuguese paying agency
Instituto Financeiro de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento da Agricultura e Pescas (Ifadap) is based on analysis of
the report by the 2001 EAGGF financial year by the certifying body (in this case the Inspectorate-General
for Finance) under Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 (1), and corresponds to extrapolation of the
errors that body found. Commission officials visited Ifadap from 16 to 20 September 2002 to develop the
extrapolation and carry out a general audit covering accreditation of Ifadap as a paying agency.

The clearance procedure in connection with imposition of this financial correction has not yet been
completed.

The Court of Auditors’ 2001 annual report (2) also mentions, as the Honourable Member indicates, a series
of computer system audits of paying agencies. In the case of Portugal only the Nacional de Intervençao e
Garanta Agricola (INGA) was included.

Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of 30 May 2001 deals with public access to
Parliament, Council and Commission documents (3). The Commission will examine the Honour-
able Member’s request under the procedure specified therein.

The Commission reminds the Honourable Member that under the Framework agreement on relations
between Parliament and the Commission, signed on 5 July 2000,
the
chairpersons of the parliamentary committees concerned, the Bureau and the Conference of Presidents can
ask for confidential information from the Commission.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1510/03

by Franz Turchi (UEN) to the Commission

(28 April 2003)

Subject: Direct financial assistance to the Palestine National Authority

Since June 2001 the Commission has been providing financial support for the Palestine National Authority
in the form of direct payments of around 10 million euro per month. Will the Commission say if and
when, and under what circumstances and on what grounds, these payments have been suspended?

The Honourable Member is asked to refer to the Commission’s answer to written question P-1437/03 by
Mr Laschet (1).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1525/03

by Erik Meijer (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(6 May 2003)

Subject: Privatisation of art treasures as a result of widespread thefts from museums and inadequate checks

on the international art trade

1.
Is the Commission aware of the growing number of large-scale thefts in the past few years of art
works exhibited or stored in museums, such as paintings by famous artists in the Netherlands and artefacts
from archaeological sites in Iraq which are thousands of years old?

2.
Is the registration of stolen works of art, which prevents the objects from being traded openly
between EU Member States, restricted to selective administration for instance by members of ‘Artloss’,
which means that in practice it remains largely unclear what art works being traded are stolen, or is there
a comprehensive central registration system managed by Europol or Interpol that can make such a trade
impossible?

Does the Netherlands now occupy an exceptional position in the trade in stolen art so that in
3.
practice its role as an international centre for the art trade is supported by inadequate policing capacity,
which merely registers but does not investigate, and by failure to comply with international agreements
and the fact that purchasers of stolen art works are entitled to become the legal owners after 21 years?

4.
Does the Commission share the fear that the illegal privatisation of art which has been collected for
the public with public money cannot be prevented in a Europe with open frontiers without strong counter
measures in the area of checks, investigation and punishment?

5.
Does the Commission consider that further action is required to prevent, or at least reduce far as
possible, the trade in stolen art? What measures can be expected from the Commission in the near future
in this sphere?
