The Board of Governors has now decided to make a further allocation of ECU 300 million for the said purposes from the 1997 surplus, -(cid:217)in connection with the capital increase, the Board of strategic following the Governors has endorsed framework of the Bank. ANNEX THE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR THE BANK 1. Introductory background The last increase in the Bank’s capital (aside from the upwards adjustment to ECU 62 billion made as a result of the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden in 1995) was its doubling to ECU 57,6 billion in 1990. All recent increases (as opposed to adjustments), have also doubled the Bank’s existing capital (1978, 1981, 1986). In 1990, the new ceiling on lending represented by this amount (namely 250(cid:216)% of subscribed capital) was expected to suffice until the end of 1995: in the event, operations have continued for two years beyond the prospective horizon for the lending ceiling. Since 1990, Bank lending has risen, in current terms, from a total of ECU 13,4 billion (1990) to ECU 26,2 billion (1997). This represents an average annual growth of 10(cid:216)%. Within the total, operations outside C 269/10 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 8. 98 the Union rose from ECU 0,7 billion in 1990 to ECU 3,2 billion in 1997. Looking at the balance sheet, loans outstanding increased from ECU 61,6 billion to ECU 142,4 billion. The increase during this period reflected a number of fundamental policy and market developments affecting the Bank, including the integration of the East German L…nder and the accession of three new member countries. As in the past, several of the developments took their origin or were formalised in a number of European Councils. The Edinburgh European Council at the end of 1992 decided the estab(cid:220) lishment of the ECU 5 billion Edinburgh facility, with a focus on trans(cid:220)European networks (TENs) and the environment. It also gave a decisive impetus to the process, launched by the Bank and the Commission, which ultimately led to the creation of the European Investment Fund, in partnership with the banking sector. Another important outcome was closer cooperation between the Bank and the Commission on the Cohesion Fund and the Structural Funds, now in their turn about to be reformed. In mid(cid:220)1993 the Copenhagen European Council decided to increase the Edinburgh facility by ECU 2 billion, extending its duration and adding an ECU 1 billion subsidised facility for stimulating investment by small and medium(cid:220)sized enterprises (SMEs) to support employment. In December of that year, the Brussels European Council saw the focus shift to growth, competitiveness and employment, with the emphasis for the Bank on investment(cid:220)intensive transport and energy TENs and the environment. In 1995, TENs financing was intensified with the process of prioritisation instigated by the Essen Council. In 1997, the Amsterdam European Council invited the Bank to step up its activities, with special reference to a number of sectors, in order to promote the creation of employment in the European Union. Accordingly, the Bank introduced its Amsterdam special action programme (ASAP), involving: -(cid:217)the creation of a special SME window, designed to provide support for new instruments to help finance high(cid:220)technology and high(cid:220)growth small and medium(cid:220)sized enterprises; this can be backed where appro(cid:220) priate by recourse to the annual surpluses of the Bank, up to a ceiling of ECU 1 billion, -(cid:217)the development and reinforcement of EIB activity in the sectors of education, health, urban environment and environmental protection, -(cid:217)a new impetus to the financing of trans(cid:220)European networks and other large infrastructure networks. The Special Luxembourg Council on employment in November 1997 confirmed the steps already taken and encouraged the Bank to maintain and reinforce the momentum of this programme. On the external side, the activity of the Bank over the period in question has been characterised by the renewal of various mandates, for the African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries (Lom~ IV(cid:220)B), the Mediter(cid:220) ranean (including also METAP) and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEEC). To these have been added new theatres of operations, notably the countries of Asia and Latin America, and South Africa, and most recently the preaccession facility for the CEEC accession countries and Cyprus. Against this background, the Board of Directors has discussed the strategic framework for the period expected to be covered by the proposed increase in capital. 2. Bank strategy The Bank’s strategy will need to develop in line with changing circumstances. However, the main pillars of the Bank’s strategy for the duration of the new capital increase that have emerged from these discussions are: -(cid:217)concentrating the Bank’s effort on "peripheral economic areas’, in accordance with its principal mission to support economic convergence and integration. The main priority is to support lagging regions within the Union and the integration of those countries seeking membership of the Union, 28. 8. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 269/11 -(cid:217)also continuing to support key areas of EU policy, as authorised from time to time by its governing bodies, taking account of policy decisions or requests by the European Council, such as the devel(cid:220) opment of TENs, international competitiveness, small and medium(cid:220)sized enterprises, energy and the environment, and financing operations under specific mandates or other agreements in support of EU external cooperation and development policies. This broad strategy was agreed by the Board in January, 1997. As mentioned above, its main thrust has been reinforced by recent developments: -(cid:217)there has been increasing recognition that the fiscal and monetary disciplines of EMU must be accom(cid:220) panied by a concerted policy to reduce unemployment, including structural changes and increasing competitiveness. The Bank has, among other things, started implementing ASAP in support of the European Council’s resolution on growth and employment, -(cid:217)the European Council’s decisions on enlargement have given a sharper focus to the Bank’s role in this area, and the Bank has now introduced its preaccession lending facility for the candidate countries. In the immediate future, within the above broad strategy, the Bank’s top priority is to support economic and monetary union. On the lending side, this is reflected in the ASAP programme. As regards its borrowing strategy, the Bank will continue its innovative euro policy. This involves assisting with the estab(cid:220) lishment of euro benchmarks, investor diversification, and the creation of an organised market for EIB eurobonds. Diversification of markets, particularly in the Central and East European Countries, will be developed together with innovation into attractive, cost(cid:220)effective products. 3. Priority(cid:220)setting in an evolving environment While financial sector integration over time should have the effect of further increasing the access of project promoters to alternative sources of capital, there will remain a significant role for the Bank in the coming years. Investment levels have fallen, in part due to the macroeconomic adjustment of preparing for EMU, and public investment is likely to remain constrained. However, the Bank can help to support investment growth by providing low(cid:220)cost, long(cid:220)term finance, and through lending to new forms of public(cid:220) private partnerships. Owing both to its own resource constraints and to the principle of subsidiarity, an assessment of the Bank’s priorities is needed. These must evolve with time, but there are a number of general observations that can be made. It is important for the Bank to focus on those sectors that are of highest priority for the EU, and the projects financed should be particularly relevant for attaining these goals. However, this is not sufficient to ensure the Bank contributes added(cid:220)value. Under its Statute (Article 18(1)), the Bank lends to the extent that funds are not available from other sources on reasonable terms. An additional contribution from the EIB comes about when, in complement to other sources of finance: -(cid:217)it can demonstrate in project financing proposals that an EIB loan is more appropriate than other sources for the project in question (for example, when the project has a long economic life, thus justifying a long maturity), -(cid:217)the Bank advances or improves the project in some additional way. This can come about because its presence lends comfort to private investors regarding a project’s regulatory risks (the EU "stamp of approval’). This also applies to the political risks of lending outside the Union. In this way the Bank can act as a catalyst for other sources of finance, not least in public(cid:220)private partnerships. Equally, the technical expertise of the Bank can itself add value. C 269/12 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 8. 98 In developing its future lending strategy, as to both sectors and regions, the Bank should be guided by the above principles. The Bank should seek to focus on those areas of highest added(cid:220)value, while lower emphasis should be accorded to projects of lesser added(cid:220)value. When adequate funding on appropriate terms is available from the market and the Bank’s intervention does not otherwise enhance the speed of implementation or quality of the project, the Bank should leave the financing of the project to other sources in accordance with Article 18(1) of the Statute. The evolution of such priorities will be discussed with the Board on an annual basis in the context of a forward(cid:220)looking corporate operational plan, to be approved by the Board. This is explained in more detail below. 4. Subsidiarity and cooperation with the financial sector Within the above framework, cooperation with the banking sector and other financial intermediaries operating on the capital markets is one of the guiding principles for implementing the Bank’s strategy. Indeed, the development and diversification of this cooperation will remain a priority for years to come. This reflects both the goal of subsidiarity and straightforward practical considerations. In order to maximise its leverage, the Bank will act in all circumstances according to the principle of complementarity and will only fund that share of the project deemed necessary to fulfil its agreed policy objectives. The Bank will work even more closely with other banks to make the partnership more efficient, and will seek (for example, by developing new products) to enhance its catalytic role. This may include encouraging the access of borrowers to capital markets as well as collaborating in the financing plan with commercial lenders. For example, the Bank will assist regional banks and specialist institutions (such as for SMEs) as they face the challenge of adapting to the single market in financial services. Reflecting the EIB’s primary mission, this would be particularly relevant in assisted areas. A similar role could be played in the preaccession countries, or other neighbouring countries of the Union. In developing this collaboration, as with other spheres of its activity, the Bank will pay careful attention to avoiding any distortions to competition. One consequence of the annual discussion of priorities is that, for investments of lesser added(cid:220)value, the Bank would reduce the proportion of project costs that it finances. The complementarity of the Bank’s loan will be outlined fully in project documentation. The practical need for cooperation with the financial sector applies generally, but is most prominent in the case of lending to SMEs. Indeed, in terms of cost(cid:220)effectiveness the global loan instrument is the only viable and economical mechanism it can deploy to support a large number of SMEs. However, the global loan approach will be reviewed in order to ensure that, among other things, the maximum benefits possible are received by the ultimate recipients of SME financing. In the medium term, the Bank’s approach to SME finance could be further enriched through experience gained with alternative instruments under the ASAP SME window. Of course, cooperation with the financial sector extends to the liability side of the Bank’s balance sheet, through its financial operations. Every year, reports on the overall cooperation between the Bank and the financial sector, for both lending and borrowing activities, will be addressed to the Board of Directors. 5. Partnership with the EIF An additional concrete example of the philosophy of partnership is the creation of the European Investment Fund, as the shareholding structure of the EIF brings together both public and private partners in an innovative way. The development of the partnership between the Bank and the Fund is one of the EIB’s priorities. This was exemplified in the establishment in October 1997 (following the Amsterdam European Council) of the European technology facility to act through specialist venture capital funds in support of technology(cid:220)oriented and high(cid:220)growth SMEs. The Bank and the Fund will continue to pursue the reinforcement and widening of their cooperation. In order to make this as effective as possible, the Bank will rationalise its working relationships with the EIF, while ensuring that it still provides the greatest possible operational support for the Fund. 28. 8. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 269/13 Moreover, to support more effectively key EU policies, the Bank will consult with the EIF on the possi(cid:220) bility of enhancing its operations in the following two directions: firstly, it will examine the possibility of extending its sphere of activity to the environmental sector; secondly, within the framework of the preac(cid:220) cession facility, it will explore the possibilities for the selective extension of operations in Central and Eastern Europe to include trans(cid:220)European networks between the countries of the region. Subject to the views of the Fund’s other shareholders and the decisions of its general meeting, proposals along these lines may in due course be brought forward. 6. Cooperation with the Commission Within the broader EU context, lending by the Bank for regional development is complemented by EU budgetary resources. Coordination of these two sources of funds, and hence cooperation between the Bank and the Commission, is essential for effective support for the regions. Both the Bank and the Commission already cooperate closely, but they have looked at ways to improve their effectiveness in the next decade. Improvements to operating procedures by both institutions will make for even better collaboration in the future. This is a timely issue since the Commission has produced its Agenda 2000, and the next round of negotiations with Member States concerning the Structural Funds is getting under way. The Bank, while taking into account the respective roles of the regions and the Commission in this process, has proposed the following specific measures, approved by the Board of Directors: -(cid:217)the Bank will seek to strengthen its participation in the preparatory programming and negotiating stages of structural operations, -(cid:217)the Bank will seek to increase consultation between the institutions on co(cid:220)financing operations. Subject to any considerations of commercial confidentiality, the Bank will make its project analysis available to the Commission for these projects, -(cid:217)the Bank will continue to offer its technical services to the Commission on a cost(cid:220)covering remunerated basis. Such services are already used to appraise projects for the Cohesion Fund, and, as appropriate, this could be extended to selected ERDF or TEN projects. 7. Implementing the strategy: Pricing policy The Bank achieves its basic objective of promoting the balanced development of the European Union by making available in all Member States, and especially the less prosperous regions of the Union, the collective benefits of its financial strength. Its pricing policy is based on the principles of non(cid:220)profit seeking (meeting obligations and covering expenses, Article 19(1) of the Statute), non(cid:220)discrimination, and trans(cid:220) parency. Within the specific ASAP mandate, an additional guideline is the goal of achieving an appropriate balance between risk and remuneration. An important evolution in the operations of the Bank is that the variation in appraisal costs between projects is increasing, and this trend may well accelerate over the coming years. The Bank has already adapted its uniform pricing approach to some degree to take into account the varying costs of different categories of loans (notably a lower margin for large loans and for loans with repeat borrowers). It proposes to modulate prices further, in particular through adding a further mark(cid:220)up for certain high cost operations. These include: -(cid:217)structured/project(cid:220)finance when obtaining privileged status as secured lender presents difficulties for the Bank, -(cid:217)and certain corporates that are only able to offer security or collateral which is less immediately recoverable. C 269/14 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 8. 98 The Bank’s Statute requires that each individual operation carry adequate guarantees. The Bank continues to believe that for normal operations there are sufficient ways to control risk by externalising (i. e. miti(cid:220) gating or transferring) it to third(cid:220)party guarantees or other securities. In this way, the overall price of EIB finance also reflects credit risk. Indeed, externalising the risk of projects is also an important source of collaboration between the EIB and the commercial banking sector. However, there are certain categories of projects, within guidelines and limits to be agreed by the Board of Directors (such as some TENs, public(cid:220)private partnerships, or corporate and structured project loans) and workouts where it may not be possible to externalise some elements of risk in accordance with the Bank’s normal practice. In these cases, and subject to maintaining an acceptable risk profile, the Bank will reconsider its approach and, where appropriate, include a premium in the mark(cid:220)up. The Bank will develop more specific proposals on the above guidelines, limits and other aspects, as soon as possible. However, it is clear that there will be no change as to the assessment of sovereign risks for Member States, and thus no discrimination on grounds of risk between this group of borrowers. 8. Operations outside the European Union The Bank’s operations outside the Union are based on mandates from the European Council. The general approach to such lending was last reviewed by the Board of Governors at the annual meeting in 1994, when the key issues pinpointed were the indicative ceiling on operations of 10(cid:216)% of the Bank’s average overall activity and the need for further reflection on the question of the Union’s guarantee. An important subsequent development has been the establishment of the preaccession facility for Central and Eastern Europe. This has no EU budgetary guarantee, and is not included in the 10(cid:216)% guideline mentioned above. In general, a system of risk(cid:220)sharing by the Bank has been established for a range of operations. The immediate priority is to execute existing mandates: Lom~ (for the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries), South Africa, Asia and Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean. These will progressively come to an end over the next two years, and the governing bodies of the Bank will have to consider its overall role in supporting EU external cooperation and development policies. These issues cannot be decided immediately, but, at the present stage, there are a number of principles for guiding future strategy discussions. For example: -(cid:217)the Bank will continue to be the financial institution of the Member States and its core activity should be within these States or to their direct benefit. Lending outside the Union will be carried out under specific mandates from the Member States and should remain a complementary activity, -(cid:217)it will pursue close collaboration with the Commission, (in conformity with the Union’s overall devel(cid:220) opment strategy in the individual country or group of countries concerned) and with other international financial institutions and national agencies. It will seek to coordinate its operations and project condi(cid:220) tionality with those agencies, -(cid:217)it will contribute to the development of the private sector, including the building of appropriate financing institutions and support to SMEs. As for lending within the European Union, it will finance investments to the extent that funds are not available from other sources on reasonable terms (Article 18(1) of the Statute), -(cid:217)the Bank will require adequate guarantees from budgetary sources, though it will continue to share risks in appropriate cases. The observations made in earlier sections regarding additionality, maximising leverage, and partnership with the commercial banking sector also apply, mutatis mutandis, both within and outside the Union. Among other things, the 10(cid:216)% indicative ceiling on outstandings for loans outside the Union will have to be considered in line with lending policies. Further discussion of these issues will take place with the Board of Directors in anticipation of the next round of external mandates. 28. 8. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 269/15 9. Lending priorities and the effective use of the Bank’s resources The evolving economic and financial environment means that the implementation of the broad strategy must be carefully monitored and adapted in the light of economic and financial developments as well as the Bank’s past performance. To ensure the contribution to EU policies is maximised, and to make the most effective use of its resources, the Bank will develop a forward(cid:220)looking corporate operational plan for annual discussion with, and approval by the Board. This will include sectoral analyses of lending both within and outside the Union. The operational plan, to be updated on a rolling basis, will provide a concrete framework for discussing priorities and objectives, and for setting new priorities and objectives on an ongoing basis, bearing in mind those tasks that may increasingly be left to other sources of finance. This would also provide a suitable context in which to review the annual report on the cooperation with the financial sector mentioned above. The corporate operational plan will provide a framework for performance evaluation. It will integrate feedback from the analysis of the quality of the project portfolio according to a set of performance criteria and the findings of the Bank’s Evaluation Unit. This could include ways of improving operational procedures, for example a programme approach in some areas. Over the last few years, the Bank has considerably developed its systems to monitor its performance as a financial intermediary. The Bank will continue to develop systems to monitor activities, including benchmarking its financial operations and the comprehensive analysis of risks. Taking a longer(cid:220)term perspective, the Bank will also consider further its capital and reserves requirements in preparation for a review with the Board of Directors in 2001 including a review of key ratios. A related issue to the medium(cid:220)term outlook is the resources needed to achieve the Bank’s objectives. With a small staff and the objective of keeping administrative expenses firmly under control, the Bank must continue carefully to identify its human resource requirements, and appropriate staff skills should be devel(cid:220) oped in line with the strategic priorities. The Board’s discussion of the corporate operational plan referred to above will also provide a framework for setting strategic orientations regarding the Bank’s allocation of resources

El transporte de mercanc(cid:237)as por el Danubio se ha incrementado desde entonces positivamente.

text: C 13/80 Journal officiel des CommunautØs europØennes FR 18. 1. 1999 Pour sa part, la restitution (cid:224) l(cid:146)exportation de malt est fixØe, dans la pratique, avec une trŁs grande stabilitØ pour chaque campagne en raison des pratiques spØcifiques de ce type de commerce. Les exportateurs de malt couvrent leur ventes sur le marchØ mondial par des contrats passØs sur une durØe d(cid:146)un an. Jusqu(cid:146)(cid:224) maintenant, la pratique du commerce Øtait de tirer la majeure partie des certificats d(cid:146)exportation pendant la pØriode de septembre (cid:224) dØcembre de chaque annØe qui correspond (cid:224) la pØriode pendant laquelle la majeure partie des contrats de vente (cid:224) l(cid:146)exportation sont conclus. Pour cette raison la validitØ des certificats d(cid:146)exportation de malt pris au cours de cette pØriode porte sur 11 mois plus le mois de dØlivrance. Compte tenu du fait que la presque totalitØ des exportations communautaires de malt est liØe (cid:224) cette pratique, la plupart des certificats d(cid:146)exportation de malt est dØlivrØe entre octobre et dØcembre de chaque annØe et la restitution applicable sur ces exportations est, par consØquent, Øtablie (cid:224) la mŒme Øpoque. Pour ce qui concerne les pratiques appliquØes sur les exportations par certaines organisations des pays tiers, il est Øvident que lorsque il peut Œtre prouvØ qu(cid:146)une pratique non conforme aux rŁgles de l(cid:146)Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) est appliquØe, la Commission et les autres membres de l(cid:146)OMC peuvent faire prØvaloir leurs droits. Jusqu(cid:146)(cid:224) ce jour, aucune preuve concrŁte n(cid:146)a pu Œtre apportØe par la profession (cid:224) la Commission, des pratiques du «Canadian Wheat Board» pour fournir aux malteurs canadiens de l(cid:146)orge de brasserie (cid:224) un prix spØcial et compØtitif qui permet au malt canadien de concurrencer ou de sous-passer le prix des malts europØens de mŒme qualitØ. En conclusion, la politique appliquØe ne semble pas avoir une incidence particuliŁrement dØfavorable sur les exportations europØennes ni d(cid:146)orge brassicole ni de malt. De plus, la reprØsentation professionnelle des malteurs exportateurs europØens regroupØe dans l(cid:146)association Euromalt a toujours, jusqu(cid:146)(cid:224) maintenant, dØfendu avec vigueur une validitØ longue des certificats d(cid:146)exportation de malt de 11 mois.

(1) OJ L 31, 5. 2. 1976. (2) OJ L 377, 31. 12. 1991. (1999/C 50/129) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1770/98 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (5 June 1998) Subject: Autonomy in Northern Epirus According to the UN Charter, autonomy is one of the inalienable civil rights of peoples. In the EU, autonomy is a common form of institution; countries such as Italy, Spain and Finland have granted fundamental rights to autonomous regions on their territory. Northern Epirus is a region of Albania whose right to autonomy has been established (as long ago as 17 May 1914 by the (cid:145)Corfu Protocol(cid:146)) and provision made for the protection of the population(cid:146)s language and religion. Moreover, the Protocol was signed at the time by the plenipotentiary countries of the (present-day) EU (Italy, Great Britain, Germany, Austria and France) and by the Special Representative of Albania himself. Will the Commission state its position on this issue, which concerns the protection of human rights in a country which desires closer relations with the EU but which has refused for years to honour the commitment that it undertook? Answer given by Mr van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (2 July 1998) It is not for the Commission to judge the reference made by the Honourable Member to the UN Charter or to assess, in the current Albanian context, the validity and exact scope of the 1914 Corfu Protocol granting specific rights for the autonomy of the southern part of Albania and in particular of the Greek ethnic minority in the region. Albania, which joined the Council of Europe in 1995, has ratified the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (including almost all of the related protocols) and in 1995 signed the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. The High Commissioner for National Minorities of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) noted in the course of a mission in 1994 that minority rights in Albania were adequately respected and that certain improvements had been made, notably in education in Greek. Following this mission, an office for minorities was set up in 1995 enabling members of minorities to file complaints. An agreement on the opening of additional Greek-language schools in certain villages in southern Albania was obtained under a friendship agreement between Albania and Greece signed in March 1996, which also set up bipartite committees for settling outstanding problems. As part of the Community(cid:146)s regional policy towards certain countries of south-east Europe, including Albania, the Commission will continue to monitor political and economic developments in the countries concerned, including respect for democratic principles, human rights and the rights of minorities.

De Commissie is het niet eens met het geachte parlementslid wanneer hij zegt dat het besluit inzake drijfnetten is genomen zonder enige wetenschappelijke basis. Ook hier verwijst zij naar de mededeling van de Commissie en het verslag van het wetenschappelijk technisch en economisch comitØ.

Lopen er nog procedures? Is de Commissie ook op de hoogte van Duitse arresten op dit gebied? Zo ja, beschikt zij over informatie over 2. de strafmaat en de nabetaling van sociale bijdragen? Antwoord van de heer Flynn namens de Commissie (11 september 1998) Over het algemeen bevat de communautaire regelgeving geen enkele bepaling waarbij uitzendarbeid verboden wordt. Deze kwestie valt hoofdzakelijk onder de verantwoordelijkheid van de lidstaten, waar zij aanleiding heeft gegeven tot belangrijke ontwikkelingen in de rechtspraak. Het Hof van Justitie heeft een aantal arresten gewezen met betrekking tot het vrij verrichten van diensten in de bouw. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn het arrest Seco/Evi van 3 februari 1982 (1), het arrest Rush Portuguesa van 27 maart 1990 (2) en het arrest Vander Elst van 9 augustus 1994 (3). Deze arresten hebben echter geen betrekking op illegale uitzendarbeid en de Commissie is ook niet op de hoogte van bij het Hof aanhangige zaken over dit probleem. In haar mededeling betreffende zwartwerk (4) wijst de Commissie erop dat een doeltreffende strategie voor de aanpak van zwartwerk een combinatie van sancties en preventie moet omvatten.

text: C 13/78 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 18. 1. 1999 (1999/C 13/112) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1752/98 by Anita Pollack (PSE) to the Commission (5 June 1998) Subject: Cost of job creation In its communication on environment and employment (COM(97) 592 final) the Commission says that in 1996 around 1 500 jobs were created under LIFE projects, at a cost for one fill time job per year of around ECU 30 000. Does the Commission agree this is an extremely high cost per job and does it have any idea how to make these jobs more cost effective? Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (22 July 1998) The main aim of Life Nature projects is the protection of natural areas and habitats. Job creation is a secondary, albeit positive, effect. Cost-effectiveness considerations can thus not apply to the same extent as if measures without an environmental purpose were carried out. The figure for the cost of each full time job per year given in box 6 (cid:145)Employment effect of Life Nature projects(cid:146) in Annex 2 of the communication from the Commission on environment and employment (building a sustainable Europe) (1) is an average figure based on a relatively small number of projects and was among the findings of the evaluation of 1996 Life Nature projects. The figure presents an indication rather than the absolute costs in the field of nature conservation. In addition, these costs only relate to direct jobs and do not take account of indirect employment effects such as through newly created or expanded tourism activities and rural accommodation. It should be noted that the location where some of these jobs are being created is important, since Life Nature projects often provide an opportunity to develop activities in remote places where no other possibilities for job creation exist. (1) COM(97) 592 final. (1999/C 13/113) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1753/98 by Anita Pollack (PSE) to the Commission (5 June 1998) Subject: Trapping of wild birds in Catalonia Is the Commission aware that at certain times of the year it is permitted in Catalonia to trap small migrant birds by the use of liming? Is this not unlawful under the Wild Birds Directive? Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (10 July 1998) Hunting with lime is strictly forbidden by Council Directive 79/409/EEC, of 2 April 1979, on the protection of wild birds (1). Article 8 paragraph 1 reads as follows: (cid:145)In respect of the hunting, capture or killing of birds under this Directive, Member States shall prohibit the use of all means, arrangements or methods used for the large-scale or non-selective capture or killing of birds or capable of causing the local disappearance of a species, in particular the use of those listed in Annex IV(a)(cid:146). Hunting with lime is listed in Annex IV(a) to the Directive. The Commission is aware that hunting with lime is still authorized in Catalonia, by means of derogations granted on the basis of Article 9, paragraph 1, (a) of the Directive. This provision states that Member States may derogate from the provisions of Article 8, where there is no other satisfactory solution to prevent serious damage to crops

(1999/C 13/107) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-1870/98 af JosØ Barros Moura (PSE) til Kommissionen (16. juni 1998) Om: Depot for radioaktivt affald ved bredden af Duero-floden ved gr(cid:230)nsen mellem Portugal og Spanien Spłrgsm(cid:229)let om de spanske myndigheders planer om at anl(cid:230)gge et depot for radioaktivt affald i AldØavilla ved bredden af Duero-floden n(cid:230)r gr(cid:230)nsen til Portugal har endnu en gang givet anledning til bekymring blandt omr(cid:229)dets beboere og i den portugisiske offentlighed. Dette problem har ud over de bilaterale og mellemstatslige aspekter, som skal lłses ved forhandlinger mellem Portugal og Spanien, ogs(cid:229) en europ(cid:230)isk dimension. Et depot af denne type medfłrer indlysende og ukontrollable farer for miljłet, befolkningens liv og sundhed samt for kvaliteten af vandet i Duero-floden og dermed for de vigtige og kendte afgrłder, som er blevet udviklet i omr(cid:229)det gennem mange generationers samspil mellem den menneskelige indsats og naturen, navnlig p(cid:229) den portugisiske side af gr(cid:230)nsen. Disse alvorlige farer er en kr(cid:230)nkelse af bestemmelserne i traktaterne og den afledte ret, navnlig miljłretten. Kommissionen bedes derfor oplyse fłlgende: 1. Har den kendskab til forhold, som kan bekr(cid:230)fte, at Spanien har genoptaget de planer, der -delvis som fłlge af EF-institutionernes indsats › officielt blev skrinlagt i slutningen af 1980(cid:146)erne? 2. Hvilke foranstaltninger agter den i sin egenskab af traktaternes vogter at tr(cid:230)ffe for at sikre overholdelse af f(cid:230)llesskabsretten? 3. Mener den ikke, at et indgreb fra Kommissionens side til fordel for overholdelsen af f(cid:230)llesskabsrettens bestemmelser vil berolige befolkningen og styrke EU(cid:146)s omdłmme? Samlet svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Ritt Bjerregaard p(cid:229) skriftlige forespłrgsler E-1734/98 og E-1870/98 (29. juli 1998) S(cid:229) vidt det er Kommissionen bekendt, har man i Spanien ingen planer om at anl(cid:230)gge et nyt deponi for radioaktivt affald noget bestemt sted. Et anl(cid:230)g af den slags, det (cid:230)rede medlem omtaler, kan kun opfłres, n(cid:229)r alle de nłdvendige nationale betingelser er overholdt. Heri skal der blandt andet indg(cid:229) en vurdering af miljłvirkningerne som beskrevet i R(cid:229)dets direktiv 85/ 337/E(cid:216)F af 27. juni 1985 om vurdering af visse offentlige og private projekters indvirkning p(cid:229) miljłet (1). Dette omfatter blandt andet et krav om, at den del af offentligheden, der berłres af projektet, skal have lejlighed til at give udtryk for sin mening, inden det indledes og at andre medlemsstater, hvor miljłet m(cid:229) forventes at blive berłrt af projektet, skal have lejlighed til at deltage i bedłmmelsen
