WRITTEN QUESTION E-3809/03

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(11 December 2003)

Subject: Update on use of funding from the Culture 2000 programme by the municipality of Massa

In its answer to question E-0983/03 (1), which asked whether the municipality of Massa had submitted
projects or secured funding under the Culture 2000 programme, the Commission stated, on 30 July 2003,
that the municipality had not submitted any projects by 2002. Can the Commission say if this has been
the case subsequently and up to the present?

given by Mrs Reding on behalf of the Commission

(26 January 2004)

The Commission, as the Honourable Member correctly states, answered a previous question on this subject
on 30 July 2003 (1).

The situation since July 2003 has been as follows: the call for proposals for projects taking place in 2004
under the Culture 2000 programme closed on 31 October 2003 (for annual projects) and 15 November
2003 (for multiannual projects).

Consequently, the projects submitted are still being examined and (cid:1) at this stage (cid:1) the Commission must
abide by the rules of confidentiality which prohibit it from giving any information on projects submitted
or the cultural operators that submitted them.

As already stated in its previous answer, all the information on the projects selected will be available on the
Internet once
(http://europa.eu.int/comm/culture/eac/

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3810/03

by Mogens Camre (UEN) to the Commission

(5 December 2003)

Subject: EU rules on discarding healthy fish

The EU’s quota arrangements for fishing by the Member States compel Danish fishermen each year to
throw back into the North Sea approximately 500 000 tonnes of top-quality dead fish to the tune of
EUR 25 million. This includes 45 000 tonnes of cod, which corresponds to approximately 14 million top-
quality Danish codfish.

Recent weeks alone have seen 40 tonnes of sole discarded in the Danish sector of the Kattegat. Because of
the existing rules the entire EU fishing fleet is discarding healthy fish in the North Sea to the tune of close
on EUR 1 billion. Apart from cod and sole this also includes large quantities of lobster, turbot and plaice.
