    WRITTEN QUESTION P-4054/97 by Bartho Pronk (PPE) to the Commission (15 December 1997)

    Subject: Net contribution by Netherlands in 1997

    What is the expected amount of the Netherlands' net contribution to the European Union budget in 1997?

    Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission (19 January 1998)

    The Commission does not produce estimates of budgetary balances, i.e. the difference between budget contributions to and budget expenditure received by the Member States. Consequently, no data for the budgetary position of the Netherlands in 1997, which the Honourable Member is seeking, is available. The reasons for the Commission's position on this matter are discussed in detail in a document presented by the Commission to the EcoFin Council of 13 October 1997 entitled Budget contributions, EU expenditure, budgetary balances and relative prosperity of the Member States. This document is now available on the Europa site of the World Wide Web in the 11 official languages.
