WRITTEN QUESTION E-0819/98

by José Apolinário (PSE) to the Commission

(26 March 1998)

Subject: Research and tourism

Will the Commission provide detailed information on actions related to tourism within the framework of the research budget and specify the aid, the amount provided and the allocation by Member State?

Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission

(13 May 1998)

The fourth framework programme for research, technological development and demonstration (1994-1998), jointly decided by Parliament and the Council on 26 April 1994,(1) does not include specific actions as such in the tourism sector.

However, numerous research activities, such as "telematic applications", have an impact on the tourism sector.

Since these activities' relatedness to the tourism sector varies widely, it is not possible to be specific as to their financial impact.

The Commission will take the opportunity of the fifth framework programme to evaluate the knock-on impact of research programmes.
