INTRODUCTION The Rhodes European Council of 2 and 3 December 1988 recognised the specific socio economic problems affecting certain island regions of the Community. In line with the conclusions of the aforementioned European Council and in compliance with its commitments, the Commission undertook a general study of the specific problems of the Aegean islands in partnership with the Greek authorities, which resulted in the drafting of an interim Commission report1 on progress in the study. This study phase enabled the Commission to submit a final report2, accompanied by suitable proposals, defining the overall strategy and practical means of solving the problems of the Aegean islands. The final report outlined the Community's response and enabled the Commission, in the agricultural field, to submit its regulatory proposals designed to draw up a framework of agricultural measures to be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee and Guidance Sections. The proposed measures were intended to encourage the economic and social development of small islands (less than 100 000 inhabitants) featuring a difficult geographical situation and structural backwardness in relation to other regions of the Community. The difficulties experienced by such islands in kickstarting their economic and social development stem from their insularity, remoteness, small land area, and difficult relief and climate. In view of the islands' specific problems, the Commission proposal contemplated a series of multiannual and multisectoral measures designed to facilitate supplies, provide financial support for production with a view to improving the islands' self-sufficiency, and improve their agricultural structures and the living conditions of their inhabitants. The Council followed up the Commission proposals by adopting Regulation (EEC) No2019/933. The Commission quickly adopted all the regulations needed to implement the measures planned, so making their implementation possible as of 1993, but the administrative procedures for actual execution and the necessary adaptation of the economic operators to the new mechanisms introduced meant that only a small number of measures in support of local products could be executed in 1993. In 1994 all the measures were implemented except for that relating to the development and/or diversification of production and/or improvement of the quality of the fruit, vegetables and flowers, which could not be implemented in 1995 either, owing to a lack of personnel in the national administration. 1 SEC (92) 36 final of 13 January 1992. 2 COM (92) 569 final of 23 December 1992. 3 OJL 184, 27. 7. 1993, p. 1. In accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93, the Commission is required to present an annual report on the implementation of the measures planned. In 1996 the Commission presented the first report to Parliament and the Council on the implementation of the programme during 1993 and 1994 (COM (96)387 final). This report covers 1995 but also includes data on 1993 and 1994 to give an idea of progress in implementation of the measures. There are also some adjustments to certain data included in the previous report. The late preparation of the reports is due to the national administration's difficulties in obtaining all the information needed to compile them from regional offices in the islands. 2. MEASURES PROVIDED FOR IN REGULATION (KEC) NO 2019/93 The Regulation introduces: - a set of specific market measures with expenditure to be borne by the EAGGF Guarantee Section (essentially specific supply arrangements and aid for certain local products), for which specific headings were included in the Community budget for a total of ECU 15 million in 1993, ECU 19 million in 1994 and ECU 27 million in 1995 (ECU 12 million, ECU 18 million and ECU 23 million under item B1-1833 for plant products in 1993, 1994 and 1995 respectively and ECU 3 million, ECU 1 million and ECU 4 million under item Bl-2513 for livestock products for 1993, 1994 and 1995 respectively); - a series of derogations needed in the structural field, in order to facilitate EAGGF Guidance operations. However, additional amounts were not entered in the budget for these derogations, the expenditure being covered by EAGGF Guidance appropriations under the CSF. 3. PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MEASURES 3. 1 Specific supply arrangements The arrangements seek to offset the extra costs, due to the geographical situation of the islands, of supplies of a certain number of products for everyday consumption from the rest of the Community, so they are available at fair prices. The quantities of products qualifying under these supply arrangements are determined on the basis of forecast supply balances, reviewed periodically in the light of market requirements. Special attention is paid to the knock-on effects of the arrangements, in particular as regards the passing-on to the end user of the benefits granted. For the purposes of applying the supply arrangements, the islands were classified in two groups A and B on the basis of their distance from the mainland and the aid was determined on the basis of the marketing costs calculated from the usual ports of shipment in mainland Greece. The islands and the prefectures (nomoi) belonging to group A (islands close to mainland) are Thasos, Samothrace, Sporades, Kithira, Antikithira, Amouliani, the islands of the prefecture of Evvia, excluding the island of Evvia, and of the prefecture of the Kiklades islands, Kea, Kithnos, Giaros, Andros, Tinos, Siros, Mykonos, Dilos and Rinia. The islands and prefectures belonging to group B (distant islands) are the Prefectures of the Dodecanese, Khios, Les vos and Samos and the islands of the prefecture of the Kiklades, excluding those in group A. The Community contribution accounts for 90% of the total cost of the measures, the remaining 10% being borne by the Member State. The aid for supplies was fixed at ECU 15/t and ECU 30/t4 for groups A and B respectively. In addition, the aid for 1993 was to be increased by 50% in order to encourage the operators to implement the measure quickly. In the case of fruit and vegetable supplies, implementation was to be temporary and degressive (from 1993 to 1997). For 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the aid was fixed at 80%, 60%, 40% and 20% of the amount applicable in 1993. Implementation of the measure started in 1994 only, as the relevant administrative instruments needed to be approved and the Greek administration and the operators needed to adapt to the new procedure. The situation regarding the development of supplies by product is as follows: (1) Yoghurt Progress in implementation Table 1 group of islands A 15(1) 18(2) 30(1) 36(2) 500 (3) 1 250 (3) Total 1. 750,0 unit aid (ECU/t) balance fixed (t) 1993 outturn quantity (t) total cost (ECU'OOO) balance fixed (t) 1994 outturn quantity (t) total cost (ECU'OOO) balance fixed (t) 1995 outturn quantity (t) total cost (ECU'OOO) 0 0 0 0 2 000 (3) 0 0 1 000 (4) 0 0 0 5 000 (3) 2,3 0,07 3 000(4) 34 1,2 0 7. 000 2,3 0,07 4. 000 34 1,2 (1) Regulation (EEC) No 2958/93 of 27 October 1993. A 50% increase was laid down for 1993. (2) Regulation (EC) No 1802/95 of 25 July 1995 (3) Regulation (EC) No 3163/93 of 17 November 1993. (4) Regulation (EC) No 3004/94 of 9 December 1994. 4 Since 1995 when the correcting factor lor the agricultiiial conversion rates was done away with, the aid has been ECU 18/t and ECU 36/t respectively. The measure shows very poor implementation and take-up in 1995 is well below the forecast supply balances, which in turn are significantly down on the 1994 forecast. In all likelihood this is due partly to the very high cost of the special labelling of each pot, as required by national provisions, to show that the product is subsidised by the EAGGF, and to the low rate of aid in terms of the product's value, and partly to the industry's difficulties in passing on the aid to the end user. The Greek authorities propose increasing the unit aid to offset the extra cost of the labelling. However, the situation could be improved by special labelling on the cardboard packs only and displaying a sign at sales points to the effect that the product is subsidised.

(4) Feedingstuffs As the following table shows, implementation of this measure is proceeding very satisfactorily, particularly for the islands in group B, and for some products it stands at 100% of the forecast supply balance. As from 1995, barley produced on the islands of Limnos has been covered by the arrangements and qualifies for the aid for the islands in group A, irrespective of the island of destination. During 1995, barley supplies rose only slightly, no doubt owing to ^^lafe implementation.

In the case of fruit and vegetable supplies, implementation was intended to be degressive and to cover a limited time span (until 1997) in order to facilitate supplies to the islands for a period, pending the adaptation of local production through specific incentives provided for in the programme. As Table 5 shows, there is no progress in implementation of the measure. Even after the drastic reduction in the forecast supply balance for 1995 as compared with the previous year, the rate of implementation remains very poor. This can be put down to the fact that fruit and vegetables are supplied to the islands in small quantities and by small operators without the facilities to complete the administrative procedures necessary to take advantage of the aid. 3. 2 Measures to support local products (1) Stockfarming The following aid is granted to support the sector: - fattening aid for male bovine animals, equal to an additional ECU 40/head on top of the special premium provided for in Article 4b of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal; - a supplement to the suckler-cow premium provided for in Article 4d of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, paid to beef and veal producers. The supplement is equal to ECU 40 per suckler cow held by the producer on the day of the application, subject to a ceiling of 40 cows per holding. The aid has been increased to ECU 48. 3 per head in 1996 since the correcting factor for the agricultural conversion rates was done away with.

(2) Regulation (EC) No 2417/95 of 13 October 1995 (3) The second instalment of the aid granted in 1993 was paid in 1994 in respect of 1 996 of these bovine animals. (4) The second instalment of the aid granted In 1994 was paid In 1995 in respect of 1 482 of these bovine animals. Implementation of the measure is progressing satisfactorily. As a result, 15% of bovine animals qualify each year for the second instalment of the fattening aid for male bovine animals. (2) Milk products Aid amounting to ECU 2. 28/t/day (ECU 2. 75/t/day from 1995) is granted for the private storage of certain local cheeses (feta, graviera and ladotyri). There is a ceiling of 5 000 t/year and the minimum storage period is 60 days. The aid must not exceed the amount corresponding to the standard storage period of 150 days.

(2) Regulation (EC) No 1802/95 of 25 July 1995. In 1994, aid was paid under the measure in respect of 10 t of ladotyri cheese and 200 t of feta. Storage in 1994 amounted to 3 151 tonne-days. In 1995, the above quantities were stored for 13 340 tonne-days, while storage of 253. 5 t of feta, 12. 5 t of ladotyri and 8 t of graviera commenced for a total of 39 794 tonne-days. The relevant aid was only paid on completion of storage of each lot. Implementation of the measure was poor on account of fast disposal of production. (3) Fruit, vegetables and flowers Aid per hectare is granted to producers and recognised producer groups implementing programmes of initiatives approved by the competent authorities for the development and/or improvement of the quality of the fruit, vegetables and flowers. The initiatives supported must seek in particular to develop production and product quality, in particular by varietal conversion and improvements in cultivation techniques. They must be incorporated in programmes implemented for at least three years and must cover at least 0. 3 ha. The programme does not cover tomatoes. Payable on a yearly basis for up to three years, the aid can amount to up to ECU 500/ha where the Member State contributes at least ECU 300/ha and if the individual producer or producer group contributes at least ECU 200/ha. If the Member State's and/or the producers' contribution is lower than those amounts, the Community aid is reduced proportionally. The aid is increased by ECU 100/ha where the programme of initiatives is submitted and implemented by a producer group or organisation; it provides for technical assistance for implementation and must cover at least 2 ha. From 1995 on, the above amounts were increased to ECU 603. 75, ECU 362. 25, ECU 241. 50 and ECU 120. 75 respectively. The measure was not implemented until the end of 1995 owing to lack of personnel at the locrl authorities responsible for publicising the measure and mobilising the farmers. Another reason is the small size of holdings, which often have less than the minimum area necessary for implementation. (4) Potatoes Aid of ECU 500/ha (ECU 603. 75/ha from 1995) is granted each year for growing seed potatoes and potatoes for human consumption on plots of at least 0. 2 ha and a maximum of 3 200 ha of land cultivated and harvested a year.

Implementation is progressing fairly satisfactorily, attaining 34. 6% and 46. 4% of the maximum in 1994 and 1995 respectively. The target of 3 200 ha was probably not achieved because of the minimum of 0. 2 ha laid down to qualify under the measure. (5) Wine sector - Area under vines Flat-rate aid of ECU 394. 83/ha (ECU 476. 76/ha from 1995) is granted for the continued cultivation of vine varieties geared to local production of quality wines psr.

As from the 1997/98 wine year, the aid will be granted solely to producer groups or organisations which introduce a measure for improving the quality of wines produced on the basis of a programme approved by the national authorities, entailing in particular facilities for improving conditions of vinification, storage and distribution. 10 - Private storage of liqueur wines Aid is granted for the ageing for at least two years of local quality liqueur wines produced by traditional methods. It is paid during the second year of ageing for up to 40 000 hi a year.

Progress in implementation has been very poor as local production is currently being disposed of quickly on the market. 2 000 hi went into storage on 1 December 1993 and 154 hi on 31 November 1994. The aid is paid at the end of two years of storage. The table shows the costs for the period of the calendar year when a quantity of wine was in storage. (6) Olive groves Fixed-rate aid of ECU 120/ha/year (ECU 144. 9/ha from 1995) is granted for maintaining olive groves in areas of traditional olive cultivation, provided that the trees are kept and maintained in good production conditions. The minimum density was set initially at 50 trees/ha. As from 1995, the minimum density was increased to 80 trees/ha.

The aid amounts to under which quality honey ECU 10/hive/year a maximum of 50 000 hives/year. For a transitional period of two years while groups are established and recognised, aid of ECU 7/hive is to be granted to any bee-keeper with at least 10 hives, and is subject to a maximum of 100 000 hives.

In 1995, five groups comprising 711 members received the aid after their programmes were approved by the national authorities. 4. EAGGF GUARANTEE SECTION EXPENDITURE ON IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MEASURES The costs shown in Chapter 3 and set out in the tables in Annexes 3 and 4 are calculated per calendar year on the basis of the figures provided by the Greek authorities. In view of the time needed by the latter to check and declare expenditure to the Commission on the one hand, and of the lack of correspondence between the calendar year (for implementing the measures) and the budget year (16 October to 15 October of the following year) (for payments by the EAGGF Guarantee Section) on the other, expenditure declared and charged to the EAGGF Guarantee Section per budget year in 1993 and 1994 is as follows. 12 Table 13 products •xpendfeure declared and charged (ECUmilHon) 1983 1994 1995 plant animal total 0 0 0 16,8 0,7 17,5 20 0,9 20,9 The EAGGF's contribution to the cost of the supplies amounts to 90% of the total in Annex 3. 5. DEROGATIONS APPLICABLE TO STRUCTURAL MEASURES (1) Notwithstanding Articles 5, 6, 7, 10 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures5, investment aid for agricultural holdings located in the smaller Aegean islands is granted under the following conditions: - the investment aid scheme can be applied to farmers who do not practise farming as their main activity but draw at least 25% of their overall income from farming their holdings and whose farms do not require more than the equivalent of one man-work unit (MWU) as long as the investments planned do not exceed ECU 25 000. Except for local specialities, all food produced must be for local consumption; - simplified accounts must be kept; - on family pig farms, the limits laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 need not be met. However, once the plan has been completed, the equivalent of at least 10% of the food consumed by the pigs must be produced on the holding; - in the case of egg and poultry production, investments are allowed on family holdings; - the maximum aid for investments is 55% for any type of investment; ' - the compensatory allowance may be increased to ECU 180. 5/LU for up to a maximum of ECU 3 540 per holding in 1993 and this may be granted for all vegetable crops, as long as they are produced in a manner compatible with the requirements of environmental protection; OJL 218, 6. 8. 1991, p. 1. Last amended by Regulation (EEC) No. 950/97 (OJ. L 142, 2. 6. 1997, p. 1). 13 - when the compensatory allowance for all the less-favoured areas is calculated, account will be taken of cows whose milk is intended for the market within that region. (2) Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 17(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Community contribution can be increased to over 50% in the case of investments in the processing and marketing of certain agricultural products with a view to improving the living conditions of the inhabitants.

NATIONAL SYSTEM OF CONTROLS j With a view to effective monitoring of aid for supplies, an interministerial Decision (No 443790 of 22 December 1993) specifying the supporting documents to accompany the products was published. It designates the bodies responsible for controls and lays down the method of payment and the rules for checking that the aid is actually passed on to the end user. This procedure is applied in all cases as regards the supporting documents. Sampling checks are carried out by the regional offices of the Ministry of Agriculture. 14 In the case of measures to support local products, specific administrative acts covering each activity were published on the implementation of the measures and the procedure for granting the aid. Controls involve general administrative and on-the-spot sampling checks. The checks conducted and the results are set out in Table 15 below. 15 1 prvfoctur* Year application*, ate. ) or cation*, quantttJe* IrrafluJarHlaa oba*rv»d R e m a r k* Type of m * * * u r* (number (ha, t), pareantage of appli Number of SV/TRAD/EGEE/RA85** 2 • u p p I lM local production check* conducted or areee checked euppilea local production f It Lesvos i 1 | J I I I I | 2 1994 3 4 Anime! fudtngatufts fruit and vegetables 5 181 otlv*grov«* 17 379eppUealbfla (44. 200 h vln*yardi potato** Mv*s 167 application* 176 (83. 66 ha) 199 application* •ucMereow* 661 applications (2 630 h*ad) 1996 Sugar, fruit and vegetables animal faadlngaluffi mat* bovto* animal* 695 application* (2 775 h*ad) 4 ollv*grov** 1 906 application* (166. 7 ha) 2.

To be more precise: - in the case of improvement plans, the checks are applied to all investments; - - in the case of young farmers, each individual case is examined to see. whether the recipient meets all the requirements, and in the case of the compensatory allowance, both general administrative and on-the- spot sampling checks are applied. 7. CONCLUSIONS Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 was adopted by the Council on 18 July 1993 and certain measures in support of local products (measures to support stockfarming and for the continued cultivation of areas under vines and olive groves and honey production) were applied from 1993. The supply measures were applied from 1994 only, despite a 50% rise in the aid to encourage speedy implementation. In 1994 and 1995 implementation of the supply measures averaged 41. 8% and 65. 2% respectively as against the forecast supply balances, and 47. 1% and 90. 5% as against the forecast cost for those periods, though the rate of implementation varied considerably from one product to another. The highest rate was achieved for animal feedingstuffs, flour and, to some extent, sugar. The lowest rate was recorded for fruit, vegetables, potatoes and yoghurt. Generally, implementation of the measures in support of local products progressed satisfactorily, with the exception of the measure for the production of fruit, vegetables, and flowers, which was not implemented at the end of 1995, although the aid for supplies of fruit, vegetables and potatoes was to fall progressively in order to encourage fast development of local production of such products with a view to improving supplies of fruit and vegetables to the local market. Best performances were achieved on the one hand in the case of the measures to maintain olive groves, where an increase in the minimum density laid down for the allocation of the aid was applied from 1995 (it rose from 50 trees/ha to 80 trees/ha) and areas under vines for the production of quality wines psr, and on the other hand for honey. / Progress in the implementation of the measures for fattening male bovine animals and the maintenance of suckler cows and the production of potatoes for human consumption and seed potatoes was fairly satisfactory, while it was poor in the case of the private storage of certain cheeses and liqueur wines owing to fast disposal of local production in those years. As regards the derogations concerning structural measures, the provisions on derogations from Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures were adopted in 1993, so enabling 15 000 farmers to take 17 advantage of the derogation concerning the compensatory allowance. The only measure where no progress was recorded at the processing/marketing of agricultural products. the end of 1995 concerned In 1994 and 1995, a large number of checks were conducted by the Greek authorities to see whether the measures were applied properly. Overall progress in the programme is satisfactory, initial difficulties in starting up having been overcome. The Greek authorities have presented requests for certain measures to be adapted. The Commission will shortly define its position with respect to these requests after drafting the general report on the economic situation in the islands in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93. 18 ANNEX 1 Regulations adopted at 31 December 1995 1.

(1) EYVL C 337, 7. 11. 1997, s. 3. Komission j(cid:228)senen Ritt Bjerregaardin komission puolesta antama vastaus (17. hein(cid:228)kuuta 1998) Hyv(cid:228)ksyess(cid:228)(cid:228)n 9. hein(cid:228)kuuta 1997 ehdotuksen neuvoston direktiiviksi loppuun k(cid:228)ytetyist(cid:228) ajoneuvoista (1) komissio totesi seuraavaa: (cid:148)PVC on loppuun k(cid:228)ytetyiss(cid:228) ajoneuvoissa yleisesti esiintyv(cid:228) materiaali; komissio tarkastelee niit(cid:228) ymp(cid:228)rist(cid:246)n(cid:228)k(cid:246)kohtia koskevia todisteita, jotka liittyv(cid:228)t PVC:n esiintymiseen j(cid:228)tevirroissa; kyseisten todisteiden perusteella komissio tarkastelee uudelleen politiikkaansa koskien PVC:n esiintymist(cid:228) j(cid:228)tevirroissa ja tekee ehdotuksia t(cid:228)ss(cid:228) suhteessa mahdollisesti syntyvien ongelmien k(cid:228)sittelemiseksi, kun se on perusteltua ymp(cid:228)rist(cid:246)llisist(cid:228) tai terveydellisist(cid:228) syist(cid:228). (cid:148) Edell(cid:228) mainitun direktiiviehdotuksen perusteluissa k(cid:228)siteltiin PVC:n polttamista usealta eri kannalta. PVC:t(cid:228) poltettaessa muodostuu happamia kaasuja, jotka on neutraloitava. Kun savukaasuja kuivak(cid:228)sitell(cid:228)(cid:228)n esimerkiksi kalkilla, neutralointiprosessin tuloksena syntyy suuria m(cid:228)(cid:228)ri(cid:228) helposti liukenevia ja vaarallisiksi luokiteltavia j(cid:228)(cid:228)mi(cid:228). Esimerkkin(cid:228) voidaan mainita erityisesti raskasmetallien saastuttama kalsiumkloridi. N(cid:228)m(cid:228) ongelmat on tuotu ilmi useissa eri l(cid:228)hteiss(cid:228), joista esimerkkin(cid:228) voidaan mainita Tanskan ymp(cid:228)rist(cid:246)nsuojeluviraston vuonna 1996 tekem(cid:228) tutkimus. Komissio on tilannut tutkimuksen, jossa tarkastellaan yksityiskohtaisemmin PVC:t(cid:228) poltettaessa syntyvien j(cid:228)(cid:228)mien m(cid:228)(cid:228)r(cid:228)(cid:228) ja niiden vaarallisuutta. Polttamisen aikana syntyvien dioksiinien osalta edell(cid:228) mainitun direktiiviehdotuksen perusteluissa todetaan, ett(cid:228) kloorin palaessa syntyy suolahappoa, joka voi vaikuttaa dioksiinien muodostumiseen palo-olosuhteista riippuen. Tiedeyhteis(cid:246) ei ole kiist(cid:228)nyt t(cid:228)t(cid:228) tosiseikkaa. Nordrhein-Westfalenin ymp(cid:228)rist(cid:246)viraston Saksassa hiljattain tekem(cid:228) tutkimus osoittaa, ett(cid:228) yli 40 % yhteis(cid:246)n kaikista dioksiinip(cid:228)(cid:228)st(cid:246)ist(cid:228) syntyy erilaisten j(cid:228)tteiden polttami- sesta. Komissiossa laaditaan parhaillaan horisontaalista strategiaa PVC:n vaikutuksista ymp(cid:228)rist(cid:246)(cid:246)n ja ihmisten terveyteen. Siell(cid:228) tarkastellaan my(cid:246)s muita PVC:hen liittyvi(cid:228) n(cid:228)k(cid:246)kohtia ja ker(cid:228)t(cid:228)(cid:228)n tietoja PVC-tuotteiden elinkaareen liittyvist(cid:228) ongelmista. L(cid:228)hiaikoina k(cid:228)ynnistet(cid:228)(cid:228)n my(cid:246)s tutkimus kaatopaikoille varastoidun PVC:n k(cid:228)ytt(cid:228)ytymisest(cid:228), jotta saataisiin lis(cid:228)tietoja PVC-j(cid:228)tteiden huoltoon liittyvist(cid:228) muista seikoista.

text: C 402/126 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 22. 12. 98 (98/C 402/166) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1399/98 by JosØ ApolinÆrio (PSE) to the Commission (7 May 1998) Subject: Specific characteristics of the outermost regions in the energy sector In response to the specific characteristics of the outermost regions in the energy sector, the European Union has established Posei-Energy as part of the Community actions geared to those regions, outside and independently of the respective Community support frameworks. Given that these specific characteristics continue to apply, what is the current approach to this issue, in particular as regards the Azores? Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission (24 June 1998) The energy activities under the Poseima programme were carried out by the Commission during a three-year period: in order to implement these funds amounting to a total of ECU 15 million were transferred to the Azores autonomous region and allocated to energy-saving and renewable-energy projects. The final annual instalment was paid in 1994. The Commission has not proposed that the energy section of the Poseima programme be renewed for 1995-1999. Conversely as part of Portugal(cid:146)s Community support framework (CSF) and of the REGIS project for the ultra peripheral regions, the Commission has adopted programmes providing for energy-investment support in the Azores for the period 1995-1999. In view of the underprivileged situation of the Azores in terms of conventional energy supplies, but also of the energy-saving potential and that of certain renewable sources, the energy sector in the Azores should continue to receive financial support from the Structural Funds during the new financial programming period. (98/C 402/167) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1403/98 by Pedro Marset Campos (GUE/NGL) and Laura GonzÆlez `lvarez (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (11 May 1998) Subject: Irregularities in the handling of the special plan for the port of Ibiza (Balearic Islands, Spain) The Ibiza and Formentera Island Commission for Urban Development has approved a draft special plan for the port of Ibiza. However, it transpires that the environmental impact report was not included in the public information file on the plan until a very late stage, with the result that the Directorate-General for Ports acted before the requisite assessment report had become available. This report, whose conclusions have provoked public alarm, highlights a series of very important environmental problems which will fundamentally affect the make-up of the landscape and of social and cultural life and will also have repercussions for social life on the rest of the island, which generates the majority of its income from tourism. The failure of the Directorate-General for Environmental Assessment and Information to consult expressly a body of such high standing and repute as the Official Association of Architects › which has opposed the plan for the port of Ibiza and backed up its objections with sound arguments › has been the source of some bewilderment. Were it to proceed, the project would have a huge and irreversible impact upon the current face of the city and port of Ibiza. The Faro de Botafoch, Isla Grossa and Isla Valerino areas would be particularly affected, as would adjoining zones such as Platja des duros, which would disappear altogether. These areas mentioned specifically and designated (cid:145)specially protected natural areas(cid:146) in the provincial plan for the Balearic Islands and in the town planning scheme drawn up by the municipality of Ibiza, both of which are in force. In addition, a residential area used by tourists would be destroyed, and the land and marine biological environments severely affected

G. , con sede a Berlino, ha emesso azioni destinate ai dipendenti riservando la possibilit(cid:224) di sottoscrizione ai dipendenti della casa madre e della consociata tedesca, laddove tale diritto non Ł stato riconosciuto ai lavoratori assunti presso le imprese del gruppo operanti in altri Stati membri dell(cid:146)Unione.

Risposta del sig. Flynn a nome della Commissione (19 giugno 1998) La Commissione gi(cid:224) da diversi anni si adopera a favore della partecipazione finanziaria dei dipendenti. Nel 1991 la Commissione ha pubblicato uno studio sulla «Promozione della partecipazione dei dipendenti agli utili e ai risultati dell(cid:146)azienda», noto come relazione Pepper I. Sulla base di questa relazione, nel 1992 Ł stata adottata la raccomandazione del Consiglio 92/443/CEE (1). La Commissione si Ł impegnata a presentare una relazione al Parlamento, al Consiglio e al Comitato economico e sociale sull(cid:146)attuazione della raccomandazione, in base alle informazioni fornite dagli Stati membri.

title: SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG nr. 1403/98 van de leden Pedro MARSET CAMPOS , Laura GONZÁLEZ ÁLVAREZ aan de Commissie. Onregelmatigheden bij de procedures met betrekking tot het bijzonder programma voor de Haven van Ibiza (Balearen, Spanje)

text: C 402/126 Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen NL 22. 12. 98 (98/C 402/166) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1399/98 van JosØ ApolinÆrio (PSE) aan de Commissie (7 mei 1998) Betreft: De specifieke kenmerken van de ultraperifere regio(cid:146)s in de energiesector Met het oog op de specifieke kenmerken van de ultraperifere regio(cid:146)s in de energiesector heeft de EU reeds het POSEI-ENERGIE-programma ingesteld. Dit programma valt binnen het kader van de communautaire maat- regelen ten behoeve van deze regio(cid:146)s en staat los van de respectieve communautaire bestekken. Kan de Commissie gezien het feit dat specifieke kenmerken nog steeds van kracht zijn mededelen wat haar huidige strategie op dit gebied is, met name voor de Azoren? Antwoord van de heer Papoutsis namens de Commissie (24 juni 1998) De uitvoering van de laatste ENERGIE-maatregel van het POSEIMA-programma is door de Commissie over drie jaar gespreid. Krachtens deze maatregel is een bedrag van in totaal 15 miljoen ecu overgemaakt naar het autonome gebied van de Azoren en bestemd voor projecten op het gebied van energiebesparing en hernieuwbare energiebronnen. De laatste jaarlijkse tranche is gestort in 1994. De Commissie heeft niet voorgesteld om de ENERGIE-maatregel van het POSEIMA-programma voor de periode 1995-1999 te continuºren. Wel heeft de Commissie, in het kader van het communautair bestek (CB) en het REGIS-initiatief voor de ultraperifere gebieden, voor de periode 1995-1999 programma(cid:146)s vastgesteld die voorzien in investeringssteun op energiegebied voor de Azoren. Gezien de ongunstige ligging van de Azoren wat de conventionele energievoorziening betreft, maar ook met het oog op de mogelijkheden van energiebesparing en bepaalde hernieuwbare energiebronnen zal de energiesector op de Azoren gedurende de nieuwe financiºle programmeringsperiode financiºle steun uit de structuurfondsen blijven ontvangen. (98/C 402/167) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-1403/98 van Pedro Marset Campos (GUE/NGL) en Laura GonzÆlez `lvarez (GUE/NGL) aan de Commissie (11 mei 1998) Betreft: Onregelmatigheden bij de procedures met betrekking tot het bijzonder programma voor de Haven van Ibiza (Balearen, Spanje) De insulaire commissie stedenbouw van Ibiza en Formentera heeft haar goedkeuring gehecht aan het ontwerp van het Speciale Havenplan voor Ibiza. Bij de gevolgde procedure voor dit speciale plan voor de haven van Ibiza is echter aanmerkelijke vertraging opgetreden voor wat betreft de openbare bekendmaking van de milieu- effectbeoordeling, hetgeen tot gevolg heeft gehad dat het directoraat-generaal voor het havenwezen heeft gehandeld zonder dat over deze studie kon worden beschikt. De bekendmaking van de conclusies van het verslag betreffende de milieu-effectbeoordeling heeft onder de bevolking tot onrust geleid, omdat hierin een aantal zeer ingrijpende milieuproblemen aan het licht worden gebracht die van fundamenteel belang zijn voor het landschap en het sociaal-cultureel klimaat, en die tevens maatschappelijke gevolgen hebben voor de rest van het eiland, dat in economisch opzicht hoofdzakelijk drijft op het toerisme. Het is verbazingwekkend dat een belangrijk orgaan als het officiºle College van architecten van de Balearen, dat zich tegen dit plan verzet en met redenen omklede bezwaren heeft ingediend tegen het havenplan voor Ibiza, niet is geraadpleegd door het directoraat-generaal milieu-effectbeoordeling. Indien dit project wordt uitgevoerd, zal dit onherroepelijke gevolgen hebben voor het landschap en het huidige imago van de stad Ibiza en zijn haven, met name in de streken (cid:132)Faro de Botafoch(cid:148), (cid:132)Isla Grossa(cid:148) of (cid:132)Isla Valerino(cid:148) en aangrenzende gebieden als de (cid:132)Platja des duros(cid:148) › dat geheel zou verdwijnen. Al deze gebieden worden speciaal vermeld in het provinciaal bestemmingsplan voor de Balearen en het algemeen bestemmings- plan van de gemeente Eivissa, bestemmingsplannen die momenteel van kracht zijn en waarin genoemde regio(cid:146)s worden aangeduid als (cid:132)onder speciale bescherming vallend gebied(cid:148). Uitvoering van het project zou tevens de verwoesting tot gevolg hebben van een woongebied dat voor de toeristen wordt gebruikt en zou ook zowel op land als ter zee belangrijke gevolgen hebben voor het biologisch milieu

text: C 50/54 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee IT 22. 2. 1999 (1999/C 50/076) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA E-1602/98 di Joaqu(cid:237)n Sis(cid:243) Cruellas (PPE) alla Commissione (25 maggio 1998) Oggetto: Professionalit(cid:224) nei centri di abbronzatura L(cid:146)Associazione dei consumatori e utenti (OCU) ha effettuato uno studio su 68 centri di abbronzatura di nove citt(cid:224) spagnole selezionate a caso che conclude mettendo in guardia nei confronti del «bassissimo livello di professionalit(cid:224)» del personale dei centri di abbronzatura in cui si utilizzano raggi UVA mentre avverte che l(cid:146)utilizzazione di tali macchinari senza controllo pu(cid:242) produrre danni irreparabili alla salute. Secondo tale studio il personale di tali centri non ha alcuna preparazione, fornisce scarse ed erronee informazioni e non tiene conto del tipo di pelle degli utenti. Solo sei centri dei 68 visitati forniscono adeguate informazioni sulle controindicazioni, e si ritiene particolarmente grave che in dieci di tali centri si sconsigliasse l(cid:146)uso degli occhiali per proteggere gli occhi dalle radiazioni perchØ «lasciavano il segno». Inoltre, secondo la OCU la pubblicit(cid:224) dei solari Ł un compendio di «stereotipi grossolani», «informazioni tendenziose», «pubblicit(cid:224) menzognera» e «pratiche temerarie». Si chiede pertanto se esiste un tipo di misura, in ambito europeo, che protegga l(cid:146)utente da possibili abusi contro la sua salute che possono essere commessi nei vari centri di abbronzatura? La normativa europea regolamenta l(cid:146)uso di apparecchi a raggi UVA e la relativa utilizzazione ai fini dell(cid:146)abbronzatura? In caso negativo, ritiene la Commissione necessario adottare misure in tal senso? Risposta della sig. ra Bonino A nome della Commissione (28 luglio 1998) La Commissione Ł consapevole dei rischi sanitari connessi all(cid:146)uso di raggi ultravioletti artificiali (UV) per motivi estetici. Come misura specifica, la Decisione n. 646/96/CE del Parlamento e del Consiglio del 29 marzo 1996 che adotta un piano d(cid:146)azione per la lotta contro il cancro nel quadro dell(cid:146)azione nel settore della sanit(cid:224) pubblica (1996- 2000) (1), propone adeguate campagne pubblicitarie, tramite i mezzi di comunicazione, per informare il pubblico dei rischi connessi a un eccessiva esposizione della pelle alle radiazioni ultraviolette. La Settimana europea contro il cancro del 1996 si Ł interessata a livello europeo del rischio di un(cid:146)esposizione eccessiva, distribuendo oltre 25 milioni di opuscoli sul tema in tutti gli Stati membri. Le lampade a raggi ultravioletti rientrano nell(cid:146)ambito della Direttiva del Consiglio 73/23/CEE del 19 febbraio 1973 concernente il ravvicinamento delle legislazioni degli Stati membri relative al materiale elettrico destinato ad essere adoperato entro taluni limiti di tensione (2). La Direttiva riguarda anche le radiazioni emesse dal materiale in questione. Requisiti particolari relativi a questo materiale sono definiti nella norma standard EN 60335-2-27 (Sicurezza del materiale elettrico e analogo per uso domestico › Parte 2: Requisiti particolari per apparecchi a raggi ultravioletti e infrarossi per terapie cutanee e per uso domestico e analogo). Tuttavia, la legislazione comunitaria non copre in modo specifico l(cid:146)utilizzazione di queste lampade da parte di fornitori di servizi ed inoltre non prevede l(cid:146)obbligo, da parte dei fornitori in questione, di fornire ai clienti informazioni sui rischi sanitari. Pertanto gli Stati membri devono adottare singolarmente provvedimenti destinati a proteggere la salute e la sicurezza dei consumatori. (1) GU L 95 del 16. 4. 1996. (2) GU L 77 del 26. 3. 1973.
