    WRITTEN QUESTION E-2209/99

    by Richard Corbett (PSE) to the Commission

    (29 November 1999)

    Subject: Structural Funds in per capita terms

    In its response to Question E-1558/99(1) the Commission stated that Luxembourg received 0,04 %, which is the smallest share of the 15 Member States.

    If the Commission had taken the trouble to read the question, it would have seen that it was about relative prosperity per capita. Could the Commission now answer the question as to whether Luxembourg, the richest Member State in per capita terms, receives the largest per capita allocation from the Structural Funds? If so, how does the Commission justify the situation?

    (1) OJ C 170 E, 20.6.2000, p. 34.

    Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

    (6 January 2000)

    For the next programming period from 2000 to 2006, Luxembourg will receive, under the Structural Funds, annual per capita aid of 31,23 (1999 prices). If the Member States are arranged in descending order according to the level of aid per head of population Luxembourg is in twelfth place, which means that it does not have the highest per capita allocation.
