WRITTEN QUESTION E-1830/03

by Stavros Xarchakos (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(2 June 2003)

Subject: Letters to the Greek authorities regarding the proper use of Community funds and compliance

with Community (regional policy) legislation

Can the Commission say how many letters it has sent to the Greek authorities since 1994 and from whom
(Commissioners, directors-general or heads of division) concerning the proper use of Community funds
and the transposition and proper implementation of Community regional policy legislation?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(7 July 2003)

Under the partnership principle a flow of inquiries and information between the Commission and national
authorities in connection with implementation of Community programmes is standard management
practice.

For both Greece and the other Member States the exchanges, which occur on an almost daily basis, can be
made by various means, including letters signed by a Commissioner or Director-General.

Dispatch of such letters is a routine matter given the Member States’ accountability for utilisation of
Community funds in line with the rules drawn up at Community level.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1857/03

by Brian Simpson (PSE) to the Commission

(3 June 2003)

Subject: Protecting slots for regional air routes

Could the Commission clarify the position in regard to how regional air routes can have their slots
protected under the current air slot regulations?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(7 July 2003)

Community law provides for the protection of regional services in two ways. Firstly, the Community rules
on market access (Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air
carriers to intra-Community air routes (1), Article 4) provide for governments to be able to impose the
so-called public service obligations on routes within the Community in the periphery and the regions, for
which air transport is vital for their development. For routes where a public obligation has been imposed
and which are domestic, the Community rules on slot allocation (Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 of
18 January 1993 on common rules for the allocation of slots at Community airports (2)) provide that
Member States may reserve slots at fully coordinated airports (Article 9 § 1(b) of the Regulation). For non-
domestic routes, where a public service obligation has been imposed, there is no possibility to reserve
slots. Secondly, for routes, which do not benefit from a public service obligation but connect regional
