WRITTEN QUESTION P-1852/03

by Karin Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR) to the Commission

(26 May 2003)

Subject: Requirement under EU law of tendering for ferry services

The Danish Transport Minister, Flemming Hansen, recently had the opportunity to discuss the requirement
under EU law that ferry routes be put out to tender with Commissioner Loyola de Palacio, who agreed
with the Danish Government that in several respects EU law on this matter produced absurd results.

The Commissioner explained that the Commission was working on certain amendments to EU legislation
on tendering for ferry services and that those amendments could enter into force very soon depending on
the circumstances.

Will the Commission say whether these amendments to EU law concerning tendering for ferry services
have been finalised? What is the substance of the amendments and when might they enter into force?

Answer given by Ms de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(2 July 2003)

The Honourable Member is very probably referring to the possibility that the Commission adopt a
‘de minimis’ rule for islands with a low volume of traffic, as part of its revision of the Community
guidelines on State aid for maritime transport, which should result in the adoption of a communication in
the coming weeks.

When the abovementioned communication was discussed this June, serious consideration was given to the
possibility of adopting a ‘de minimis’ rule for ‘small islands’, as already announced in the Commission’s
White Paper of 12 September 2001 (‘European transport policy for 2010: time to decide’) (1).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1856/03

by Mihail Papayannakis (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(3 June 2003)

Subject: Relocation of an autonomous electricity generating plant run by the Greek Public Power

Corporation (DEI) in Lesbos

The Mytilini municipal authorities have expressed concern regarding an outdated electricity generating
plant run by the Greek Public Power Corporation (DEI) which has been operating within the municipality
for many years. Investigations by the Ministry of the Environment, Regional Planning and Public works
(8 April 2003) revealed 22 infringements of the environmental regulations drawn up by the ministry in
2000 with serious public health and environmental implications.

Given the multiple infringements of the Community environmental legislation, will the Commission make
representations to the Greek authorities to persuade the northern Aegean regional authorities to transfer
the DEI plant outside Mytilini replacing it with modern, non-pollutant plant?
