LT Europos Sąjungos oficialusis leidinys 69 31997D0838 L 347/45 EUROPOS BENDRIJŲ OFICIALUSIS LEIDINYS 1997 12 18 TARYBOS SPRENDIMAS 1997 m. lapkričio 28 d. dėl Europos bendrijos pritarimo, kiek tai susiję su jos kompetencija, PPO derybų dėl pagrindinių telekomunikacijų paslaugų rezultatams (97/838/EB) EUROPOS SĄJUNGOS TARYBA, atsižvelgdama į Europos bendrijos steigimo sutartį, ypač į jos 57, 66, 90, 99, 100, 100a ir 113 straipsnius, siejant su 228 straips- nio 2 dalimi ir 228 straipsnio 3 dalies pirmąja pastraipa, atsižvelgdama į Komisijos pasiūlymą (1), atsižvelgdama į Europos Parlamento nuomonę (2), kadangi: (1) (2) (3) 1994 m. gruodžio 22 d. Tarybos sprendimu 94/800/EB (3) buvo patvirtinta Pasaulio prekybos organizaciją įsteigianti Marakešo sutartis bei su ja susiję susitarimai, ministrų sprendimai ir deklaracijos, įskaitant Ministrų sprendimą dėl derybų pagrindinių telekomunikacijų klausimais, priedą dėl telekomunikacijų ir priedą dėl derybų pagrindinių tele- komunikacijų klausimais. Visi įsipareigojimai pagrindinių telekomunikacijų paslaugų srityje, kuriuos derybose Europos bendrijos ir jos valstybių narių vardu išsiderėjo Komisija, yra patenkinamas ir suba- lansuotas rezultatas. 1996 m. balandžio 30 d. Taryba įgaliojo Komisiją Europos bendrijos ir jos valstybių narių vardu patvirtinti Pagrindi- nių telekomunikacijų derybų grupės ir PPO Prekybos paslaugomis tarybos sprendimą, kuriuo priimamas Bend- (1) OL C 267, 1997 9 3, p. 80.

(4) (5) (6) (7) (8) 1997 m. vasario 14 d. Taryba įgaliojo Komisiją Europos bendrijos ir jos valstybių narių vardu pateikti PPO galutinį įsipareigojimų sąrašą. Bendrijos kompetencija sudaryti tarptautinius susitarimus kyla ne tik iš tiesiogiai tai nustatančių Sutarties nuostatų, bet gali kilti ir iš kitų Sutarties nuostatų bei Bendrijos insti- tucijų teisės aktų, priimtų pagal šias nuostatas. Tada, kai Bendrijos taisyklės buvo priimtos siekiant Sutar- ties tikslų, valstybės narės, veikdamos už bendrųjų institu- cijų kompetencijos ribų, negali prisiimti įsipareigojimų, kurie galėtų turėti įtakos šioms taisyklėms arba pakeisti jų taikymo sritį. Pagal Sutarties 113 straipsnį kai kurie įsipareigojimai pagrindinių telekomunikacijų paslaugų srityje priklauso Bendrijos kompetencijai; be to, kadangi kiti įsipareigojimai pagrindinių telekomunikacijų paslaugų srityje turi įtakos Bendrijos taisyklėms, priimtoms remiantis 57, 66, 90, 99, 100 ir 100a straipsniais, todėl juos gali prisiimti tik pati Bendrija. Vadovavimasis Sutarties 100 straipsniu, kaip teisiniu šio Sprendimo pagrindu yra pagrįstas ir tuo, kad tikėtina, jog minėti įsipareigojimai pagrindinių telekomunikacijų paslaugų srityje gali turėti įtakos Sutarties 100 straipsniu grindžiamoms 1990 m. liepos 23 d.

Emellertid m(cid:229)ste jag tyva¤rr konstatera att kommissionens svar inte a¤r tillfredssta¤llande, varfo¤r jag a¤ven skulle vilja att kommissionen redogo¤r na¤rmare fo¤r sin nuvarande st(cid:229)ndpunkt genom att besvara fo¤ljande fr(cid:229)gor: 1. Kommissionen sto¤der sig p(cid:229) den metodik som fo¤respr(cid:229)kas i gro¤nboken, men hur kommer det sig d(cid:229) att trots att de flesta medlemsstaterna inte har n(cid:229)gra besta¤mmelser som begra¤nsar sponsring av sportevenenemang fr(cid:229)n producenter av alkoholhaltiga drycker, lyckas dessa la¤nder sa¤kersta¤lla samma ho¤ga niv(cid:229) p(cid:229) folkha¤lsoskyddet som de andra medlemsstaterna, som info¤rt totalfo¤rbud mot s(cid:229)dan sponsring? 2. Skulle bedo¤mningen av besta¤mmelsernas proportionalitet generellt sett kunna variera beroende p(cid:229) vilken medlemsstat det ro¤r sig om, om bara samma metodik tilla¤mpas? 3. Kan kommissionen bekra¤fta att man i det aktuella fallet tilla¤mpat proportionalitetsprincipen vid bedo¤m- ningen av den begra¤nsning som den bero¤rda medlemsstaten tilla¤mpat? 4. Kan kommissionen, med tanke p(cid:229) den o¤ppenhet som fo¤respr(cid:229)kas i gro¤nboken och den samordning som fo¤respr(cid:229)kas i parlamentets yttrande, ange om den fo¤rt diskussioner med medlemsstaterna, i synnerhet de nationella ha¤lsomyndigheterna, om fr(cid:229)gor som ro¤r reklam fo¤r alkoholhaltiga drycker och om kommissionen i s(cid:229) fall ta¤nker informera parlamentet om dessa diskussioner? 5. Skulle kommissionen slutligen, om det aktuella fallet tar en ny va¤ndning, exempelvis p(cid:229) grund av nya uppgifter eller avbrutna fo¤rhandlingar mellan ka¤randen och medlemsstaten, kunna ta¤nka sig att behandla denna fr(cid:229)ga p(cid:229) nytt, i form av en bedo¤mning av nya fall som troligtvis kommer att uppst(cid:229)? (1) EGT C 82, 17. 3. 1998, s. 29. Svar fr(cid:229)n Mario Monti p(cid:229) kommissionens va¤gnar (3 februari 1998) Parlamentsledamoten o¤nskar ett fo¤rtydligande av ett tidigare svar p(cid:229) hans skriftliga fr(cid:229)ga E-2105/97 om avslutandet av ett o¤vertra¤delsefo¤rfarande betra¤ffande det fo¤rbud mot gra¤nso¤verskridande sponsring av va¤rldscupen 1998 i Frankrike, som en tillverkare av alkoholhaltiga drycker drabbats av till fo¤ljd av tilla¤mpningen av den franska Evin-lagen. Metoden fo¤r proportionalitetsbedo¤mning som lagts fram i gro¤nboken om affa¤rskommunikation (1) fo¤rva¤ntas bli antagen i ett kommissionsmeddelande i bo¤rjan av 1999. Det a¤r da¤rfo¤r ola¤mpligt att diskutera hur denna metod kan tilla¤mpas i ett a¤rende som kommissionen underso¤kte under 1997 eller att diskutera n(cid:229)got annat av fo¤rslagen som lades fram i detta dokument. Kommissionen ans(cid:229)g att restriktionen var proportionell i a¤rendet i fr(cid:229)ga, vilket na¤mndes i dess fo¤reg(cid:229)ende svar. Enligt EG-domstolens ra¤ttspraxis och enligt nuvarande gemenskapslagstiftning, da¤r gemensamma eller harmoniserade regler fo¤r allma¤n reglering av reklam fo¤r alkoholhaltiga drycker inte fo¤rekommer, (cid:229)ligger det medlemsstaterna att besta¤mma vilken grad av ha¤lsoskydd som de o¤nskar erbjuda sina medborgare och hur ett s(cid:229)dant skydd skall uppn(cid:229)s, under fo¤rutsa¤ttning att detta sker inom de ramar som faststa¤lls i fo¤rdraget. P(cid:229) Europaparlamentets uppmaning anser kommissionen emellertid att sponsring skall o¤verva¤gas noga i fo¤rslaget till uppfo¤ljning av meddelandet om affa¤rskommunikation. Detta kommer att ge mo¤jlighet till diskussioner med samtliga medlemsstater s(cid:229)som parlamentsledamoten fo¤resl(cid:229)r. Ka¤randen har inte anfo¤rt n(cid:229)got nytt klagom(cid:229)l sedan a¤rendet i fr(cid:229)ga avslutades och da¤rfo¤r har kommissionen fo¤r na¤rvarande ingen anledning att se o¤ver denna sa¤rskilda restriktion.

Quelles mesures la Commission compte-t-elle prendre pour re·soudre ce proble‘me, en tenant compte aussi bien des traditions culturelles des diffe·rents E· tats membres que de la ne·cessite· de faciliter la communication des sourds-muets? Re·ponse donne·e par M. Flynn au nom de la Commission (16 janvier 1998) En 1995, le Parlement a affecte· un montant de 500 000 e·cus aux mesures relatives aux langages gestuels dans la Communaute·.

text: COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 28. 11. 1997 COM(97) 630 final REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT on the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 instituting a Community aid scheme for forestry measures in agriculture REFORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO T HE m i i N rn AND THE RUROPFAN PARLIAMENT on the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 instituting a Community aid scheme for forestry measures in agriculture I. INTRODUCTION Flanking measures were adopted in 1992 to accompany the CAP reform. These authorised aid for the environment, early retirement and forestry. As part of one of the main areas of reform - temporary set-aside or reallocating farmland to afforestation or non-food production - Council Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 of 30 June 1992(1) instituted a Community aid scheme for forestry measures in agriculture. The aid is part-financed by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) to promote afforestation as an alternative use of agricultural land and the development of forestry activities on farms, in order to: - accompany the changes to be introduced under the market organisation rules, - contribute towards an eventual improvement in forest resources, - contribute towards forms of countryside management more compatible with environmental balance, - combat the greenhouse effect and absorb carbon dioxide. The Community provides 75% part-financing in Objective 1 regions and 50% in other regions under the EAGGF Guarantee Section. The aid scheme comprises aid for afforestation costs, a premium to cover maintenance of afforested areas, a premium to cover losses of income resulting from afforestation of agricultural land and investment aid for the improvement of woodlands belonging to farmers. The characteristics of the aid scheme are summarised in Table 1 overleaf. II. TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL MONITORING Commission Regulation (EC) No 1054/94(2) laying down detailed rules for the financial monitoring of programmes approved under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 was adopted on 5 May 1994. Its purpose is to establish a reliable system for the financial monitoring of the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 permitting reactions in the framework of the early warning system for budget discipline and estimates of the trend in expenditure affecting future budgets as a result of the multiannual nature, of certain commitments entered into under approved programmes, resulting in expenditure to be charged to the Community budget over several years. Under this Regulation the Member States forward information on progress in implementing the aid scheme every six months and expenditure forecasts every quarter. 0) OJNoL215,30. 7. 1992,p. 96.

III. ADOPTED PROGRAMMES 1. Decisions and amounts of funding Table 2 overleaf shows the 43 programmes that have been adopted so far in the Member States. The EAGGF contribution shows the amount initially forecast by the Member State compared to that actually allocated under the Decision (for programmes adopted at the beginning of 1994 some Member States had initially forecast an EAGGF contribution in excess of available budget funds). The afforestation forecasts also show an initial value, corresponding to the EAGGF contribution initially hoped for by the Member State, and a value adjusted to the amount actually awarded. 2, Aid and application There is a wide variation in the rates of aid awarded to the various programmes and even between the various regions in a Member State. There are several reasons for this, not simply reflecting whether or not the Member State wishes to promote or discourage afforestation of agricultural land. Aid for afforestation and maintenance costs is based on actual costs, which depend among other things on: - geographical, topographical, physical and climatic diversity (mountain forests, lowland forests, natural habitats, nature of the soil, etc. ); - diverse economic and social factors (workforce, investment in forestry, pluriactivity, etc. ); the way in which various aids are calculated (e. g. whether or not they include certain - parameters such as reafforestation, mortality rate, etc. ). The annual premium covering losses of farmers' or landowners' income normally reflects financial losses resulting from afforestation of their agricultural land and subsequently from the loss of annual income previously obtained from agriculture. The attractiveness of this premium may depend on the amount paid compared to: - actual income from agricultural production; - other aid, such as aid to set aside arable land. The Member State programmes lay down conditions regulating afforestation. Afforestation applications are studied individually at local or regional level, taking into account technical aspects connected to afforestation and in principle eligibility with respect to regional planning or environmental protection provisions. A few programmes include a zoning framework defining areas in which afforestation is authorised, prohibited or regulated.

Afforestation Figure 1 below shows the area of agricultural land afforested under the Regulation in each Member State, and the distribution of this land between public and private ownership. These areas are later compared to the utilised agricultural area (Figure 3) and the forest area (Figure 4) in each Member State. 250 000 T 238 112 200 000 4- ô 150 000 100 000 50 000 4- »3 61597 60 477 Public afforestation 9 128ba (2%) Private afforestation 497 850 ha (98%) 6 499 6 234 NL EL DK A FIN Total EU: 506 978 ha Figure 1. Area of agricultural land afforested under Regulation 2080/92 The following points should be noted: in total just over 500 000 ha of land has been afforested under this Regulation; - - with more than 200 000 ha Spain has the largest wooded area; - besides Spain, 3 countries (United Kingdom, Ireland and Portugal) have each planted more than 50 000 ha of woodland; - private individuals have mainly been in receipt of this aid for afforestation costs (98%).

A distinction is made between farmers and non- farmers based on the Regulation's definition of the farmer practising farming as a main occupation deriving not less than 25% of their total income from farming on the holding. This explains why Finland and Greece (each with a high number of "part-time" farmers) both have a lower number of farmers than non-farmers benefiting from the premium.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The following analysis is based on the results available with respect to the application of the Regulation between 1993 and 1996. This short period limits the representative nature of the results and does not permit precise conclusions to be drawn about the application of the Regulation or produce an accurate verdict on how successful it has been. 1. Afforestation Discussion of results 1. The afforestation of agricultural land is not new. Aid for afforestation has existed for a long time, both at Community level and in some Member States. The Community launched various schemes to encourage the afforestation of agricultural land between 1980 and 1990, including the IMPs and measures relating to agricultural structures. However, the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 gave a new boost to this type of afforestation, largely because it introduced a premium covering income loss which guaranteed an annual source of income for the farmer for a period of up to 20 years. 2. The afforestation of agricultural land under this Regulation has essentially been concentrated in four countries: Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Portugal (despite the prolonged drought in 1994-95 which seriously slowed down the pace of afforestation on the Iberian Peninsula). The agricultural land that has been afforested in these Member States makes up a total of 81% of the overall area afforested in the EU under this Regulation, involving 56% of beneficiaries (see Figure 2). It is clear, therefore, that this scheme has largely been applied in Member States or regions wishing to expand their forest area. The concentration of agricultural production on the most productive cultivated land and marginalisation of less productive agricultural land have been the main factors determining whether or not agricultural land is converted to forest use in these regions, which are often marked by: - low existing afforestation and a desire to increase this rate in order to boost wood- based industries, - a recognition of the need to curb rural decline by afforesting agricultural land doomed otherwise to be abandoned, thus helping, with the active participation of farmers and other owners, to develop this land and promote multifunctional rural management in these less-favoured zones or areas in sharp decline. 3. In terms of area, over 65% of afforestation was carried out in areas believed at risk of fire under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2158/92 on protection of the Community's forests against fire. In these areas, afforestation is an effective means of combating soil erosion and climate change (it should be noted that Annexe IV to the International Convention to Combat Désertification recommends afforestation to offset the impact of désertification). Decisions adopting the programmes provided for under Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 ask the Member States to include fire prevention measures in plans to afforest high-risk areas and in particular to comply with plans to protect forests against fire approved by the Commission under Regulation (EEC) No 215 8/92. 4. Examination of the relationship between the number of beneficiaries and the number of hectares afforested (see Figure 6) shows that the average area of woodland per beneficiary 13 is generally relatively low in the other Member States. Farmland is broken up into small plots of land in these regions, leading to "postage stamp" patches of woodland and the dispersal of remaining arable land and standing crops, hampering profitable forest • management although benefitting landscape. Moreover, the premium covering income loss paid to these "mini woodlands" does not bring in a significant compensation for farmers. Several reasons have been put forward to explain this situation: - farmers' tendency to convert just a small proportion of their land to forestry use rather than making a total changeover; - attempts to improve poor quality agricultural land (land producing low yields or where farm mechanisation is difficult) and extend existing wooded areas ("fleshing out" existing wooded areas); - the time factor, which means that afforestation can be achieved in small stages over several years, thus improving the balance between the time required to establish forest plantations and the low funds left over from farming activities. As land is often set aside on a progressive basis, the land that becomes available for afforestation is in many cases widely dispersed, fragmented and attached to land which is still farmed. Planned rural afforestation and land management are needed to establish a suitably equipped forest (especially in terms of access roads) large enough to facilitate easy management and exploitation and to fund its other protection and access functions itself in as many cases as possible. The need to strike a balance between agricultural and forest land raises the question of whether or not it is possible to lay down minimum areas eligible for afforestation aid, or to demand that management units be grouped together (as in the Dutch programme, for instance). However, because of the relative small average farm size in the Union, the enforcement of the scheme tends to take place on relatively small areas of land. Moreover, the Regulation invites the Member States to draw up zonal afforestation plans. It is therefore essential that afforestation is carried out within the framework of rural development plans. "Mini-woodlands" are considered useful in environmental and traditional farm landscape terms, despite the fact that in some cases they may not be considered as meeting the requirements of Member State forestry policies or CAP objectives within the framework of forestry. The overriding considerations are the need to create new more diversified habitats, encourage recreational activities and increase attractiveness in terms of tourism. Finally, care should be taken when interpreting statistics. The average afforested area-per beneficiary does not, for instance, reflect any attempts to group together smaller properties and thus obtain larger, unbroken forest areas. 5. It is difficult to distinguish general rules on the type of land used for afforestation (arable land, grassland or land under permanent crops). Nevertheless, the potential environmental benefits have probably been tempered by the economic realities of the situation. However, it is true to say that: - in arable crop areas, where per hectare added value is high, the afforestation rate is low. Only a small area of forest belongs to farmers. There are not many possibilities of releasing land and the few woodlands that have been created are intended to combat wind or soil erosion or for game reserves. 14 - in intensive livestock farming areas, where farm value added is relatively high, agricultural activity remains stable and afforested areas are fairly small. - woodlands are established preferably on permanent grassland in areas where livestock breeding is less profitable, or on unproductive arable land, in other words areas with low per hectare agricultural value-added, low market values and low rents in general. These conditions tend to appear more or less favourable to afforestation. Land parcels are, however, often extremely fragmented due to a failure to regroup land. This hinders both agriculture and afforestation. The effect of Member States' decisions fixing the rate of aid to compensate for income loss within the scale laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 on the one hand and for other agricultural measures, such as set-aside and Regulation 2078/92, on the other is by no means negligible. It is likely, for instance, that potential afforesters are discouraged in Germany, where the fixed set-aside premium is often more attractive than the afforestation premium; on contrary, in Extremadura (Spain), the afforestation scheme seems to be more attractive for farmers in comparison to the agri-environmental measures. However, other factors also play a part in farmers' decisions (such as the reduction in land value or the difficulty of reversing the process, for example), and it is not enough simply to compare rates of aid. Additional studies would be needed to enumerate these factors and evaluate their importance in terms of the choices made by farmers. Another element that should be discussed in relation to the premium covering income loss is the difference in aid depending on whether or not the recipient is a farmer practising farming as a main occupation (i. e. deriving more than 25% of total income from farming on the holding). The peculiar logic of this condition stems from CAP guidelines and the limited availability of EAGGF Guarantee Section funding. However, it also raises difficult issues for the relevant administrations in the Member States, with regard to management and monitoring for instance, and hinders afforestation in regions where many rural players cannot derive more than 25% of their income from farming (this is true both of the EU's northernmost regions, where small farms are frequently combined with large forest properties, and of the southern regions, where farmers also have to work in areas outside farming as such). In the 1980s the potential role of afforestation within the context of the CAP reform was considerably over-estimated. Forecasts considered only hypothetical areas (15-20 million hectares) of agricultural land that might possibly be afforested without taking into account the various environmental, economic, social and legal constraints framing choices of how to use released agricultural land. After only three years, it is rather premature to evaluate what has been achieved by the Regulation in terms of the objectives listed therein. However, by distinguishing between the three main policies to which these objectives are linked the following observations can be made: - CAP-related objectives: Although afforestation of agricultural land has probably only had a small impact on reducing surplus agricultural production, we must not forget its contribution to rural development: by encouraging pluriactivity on the part of farmers and compensating, via the premium provided for this purpose, their income loss, properly implemented it encourages a dynamic approach to soil use and proper maintenance of the countryside; 15 - environmental policy objectives: include laid down the rules and conditions A number of rules must be respected to ensure that afforestation enhances the compatibility of countryside management and the need to maintain an environmental balance. These in afforestation programmes, the location of woodland, the choice of species and plantation methods. In some cases non-compliance with the environmental conditions laid down in the programmes or faulty interpretation have produced a negative impact on the environment (for example when conditions laid down to preserve valuable biotopes are ignored). In such cases the necessary changes must be made to ensure that these anomalies are not repeated. With a careful choice of species, location and management methods, afforestation generally plays an important part in environmental protection and may generate a number of positive external effects (curbing erosion, preventing desertification, encouraging biodiversity and regulating the hydrological regime, etc. ). Failure to observe these parameters, however, can lead to negative impact on the environment. By increasing the carbon dioxide fixation rate, afforestation of agricultural land also helps combat the greenhouse effect. Within the context of global climate change this contribution is of course very modest. However, the policy of afforestation of agricultural land is an important part of the global environment policy to which the EU committed itself at the 1992 Rio Conference (UNCED). - Forestry policy objectives: The Member States have sole competence in terms of the application of forestry policy (provided in the context of Regulation 2080/92 they respect the objectives laid down in the Article 1 of the said Regulation) and have made use of the flexibility in the Community framework laid down in this Regulation to choose various options in line with this policy and focus either on developing their wood-based industries or on the environmental and social functions of the forest stands they have created. In Ireland, for example, where the aim is to double forest area over the next thirty years so as to create economically viable wood-based industries, the programme largely focuses on plantations with a high economic return (sitka spruce, pine, etc. ). In contrast, the United Kingdom programme strives to integrate application of the Regulation into an overall regional planning policy focusing on the countryside and environmental aspects. Initially, due to the new character of the Regulation, some Member States had difficulties adapting their administrative arrangements. Subsequent experience gained by these Member States, linked with relative flexibility on the part of the Commission, has helped improve the situation. Conclusions Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 is directly applicable throughout the European Union, although each Member State is free to choose what exactly they wish to focus on. Starting from the basis of a fairly general European law, each country and region has adapted the Regulation to their particular needs. Several elements, such as the interests of individuals, the policies followed and the areas concerned, have a positive or negative impact on the choices which can be made when afforesting agricultural land. Some of these elements are shown in the following table. 16 Table 3.

A specific aspect: cork oak Cork oak plantations constitute specific plant fonnations in certain parts of Spain (dehesas) and Portugal (montados), which are often linked with the production of cork (of whfch the EU is the leading world producer) and pastoral agriculture and forestry. These plant fonnations are of interest in economic (high value-added product (cork), increased demand on world market), social (jobs) and environmental (fight against desertification, biodiversity) terms. The Advisory Committee on Cork believes that Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 has been positive for the sector as a whole. In the areas in question in Spain and Portugal in particular aid (afforestation and improvement) has largely concentrated on such plant formations. The Committee has however demonstrated that limiting the improvement scheme to farmers who practise fanning as a main occupation is not adapted to this type of production, particularly in view of the length of time needed for cork production. 17 3. Investment aid to improve woodlands Discussion of results In many regions, sensible management of farm woodland is an integral part of developing and protecting the rural world. Farm woodland may play an active role in economic terms (timber production, tourism, hunting) or constitute a land reserve which may be mobilised for major investment. Under Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92, investment in farm woodland concentrates on assistance for the following measures: - - - - in southern Europe (Spain, Portugal and Greece): fire protection measures (firebreaks, waterpoints) in line with Regulation (EEC) No 2158/92 on protection of the Community's forests against fire, forest paths, renewal and improvement of the cork oak stand (in Portugal especially); in northern Europe: developing shelterbelts in Denmark, and restructuring the existing drainage system and regenerating unproductive stands in Finland; in Germany and the United Kingdom: forestry measures to increase the stability and environmental value of stands; the network of forest roads is being extended in most Member States. Some countries, particularly France and Ireland, have made practically no use of investment aid in farm woodland: - - in Ireland, this is probably due to the fact that projects linked to Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92 concentrate entirely on afforestation, since the operational forestry programme adopted within the framework of the EAGGF Guidance Section for Objective 1 regions offers to part-finance measures that improve the existing forest and is not limited to farm woodland; in France, national aid systems do not always make it easy to distinguish forest belonging to farmers from that belonging to other private owners. It is therefore difficult for it to meet the eligibility criteria laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2080/92. Conclusions Application of aid measures to improve farm woodland raises the following issues in particular: - do the types of investment have a real impact on improving the economic viability of farm woodland or are they more like ongoing forestry management aid, simply extended to cover farm woodland and thus backing up existing national aid in most cases? - by limiting aid to afforested areas linked to farms, is it not true that the Regulation can only partly attain its objectives of long-term improvement of forestry resources and more environmentally compatible countryside management? However, its potential for the improvement of landscape, and in many instances biodiversity, is acknowledged. Although farm woodland may be an important part of existing forests in some EU regions in statistical terms, the complex forest ownership structure (fragmented and scattered 18 between a large number of private owners who often do not practise farming as their main occupation) means that measures limited to farm woodland can only have a limited impact. The scheme would undoubtedly have a greater impact if, for example, farmers could work towards maintaining the forest as a whole, by encouraging, within the framework of consistent local forestry development, activities that could also involve areas of forest outside their own. * * * To close, it must be emphasised that this document is only an activity report. It cannot be considered an analysis or evaluation document, as these cannot be carried out given the way things stand but will certainly be of interest at a later stage. 19 ISSN 0254-1475 COM(97) 630 final DOCUMENTS EN 03 10 17 14 Catalogue number : CB-CO-97-647-EN-C ISBN 92-78-28224-3 Office for Official Publications of the European Communities L-2985 Luxembourg £4>

text: C 196/18 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen 22. 6. 98 (98/C 196/26) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-3812/97 van Hilde Hawlicek (PSE) aan de Commissie (28 november 1997) Betreft: Aandeel van de cultuur in de EU-begroting In diverse culturele publicaties wordt steeds weer het aandeel van de cultuur in de EU-begroting met uiteenlopende percentages aangegeven. Deze cijfers worden dikwijls van de ene publicatie in de andere overgenomen. 1. Hoe hoog is het werkelijke aandeel van de cultuur in de EU-begroting in 1997? 2. Hoe is dit aandeel, vanaf het ogenblik waarop de Commissie zich met culturele activiteiten bezighoudt, in de loop der jaren veranderd? 3. Welke sectoren of begrotingsposten telt de Commissie bij de berekening van het aandeel van de cultuur mee? Antwoord van de heer Oreja namens de Commissie (5 februari 1998) Ik kan het geachte Parlementslid in antwoord op haar vraag mededelen dat het aandeel van de cultuur in 1997 27. 925. 000 ecu bedroeg, ofwel 0,03% van de Gemeenschapsbegroting (89. 137. 000. 000 ecu). De ontwikkeling van het aandeel van de cultuur in de Gemeenschapsbegroting is als volgt: Jaar 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 Totaal budget cultuur B3-2000 8. 800. 000 10. 000. 000 11. 962. 000 12. 355. 000 14. 800. 000 19. 654. 000 23. 316. 000 27. 925. 000 30. 900. 000 Gemeenschaps- begroting Aandeel cultuur in de Gemeenschapsbegroting in % 48. 480. 000. 000 59. 370. 000. 000 63. 907. 000. 000 70. 408. 000. 000 71. 789. 000. 000 79. 846. 000. 000 86. 580. 000. 000 89. 137. 000. 000 91. 013. 000. 000 0,018 0,016 0,018 0,017 0,020 0,024 0,026 0,031 0,033 Het kaderprogramma cultuur 2000-2006, dat in mei 1998 bij het Parlement en bij de Raad moet worden ingediend, geeft hoop op een verdere stijging van de voor cultuur bestemde bedragen. Bij de berekening van het aandeel van de cultuur neemt de Commissie het voor cultuur bestemde deel van hoofdstuk B3-20 in aanmerking, d. w. z. de begrotingsposten: B3-2000: B3-2001: B3-2002: B3-2003: Raphae¤l-programma Caleidoscoop-programma Ariane-programma overige culturele acties (98/C 196/27) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-3813/97 van Ilona Graenitz (PSE) aan de Commissie (28 november 1997) Betreft: Speelgoed in levensmiddelen De EU-commissie spoedgevallen productveiligheid heeft nu twee gevallen behandeld van door speelgoed in levensmiddelen veroorzaakte gevaren voor de veiligheid voor de consument, maar tot nu toe geen specifieke stappen aanbevolen (de laatste vergadering was op 22 oktober 1997)
