WRITTEN QUESTION E-2616/02

by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(18 September 2002)

Subject: Web pages published by the CSF administrative authorities in Greece

Project announcements are often posted on the Internet pages published by the administrative authorities of the CSF operational programmes in Greece without any deadline on the initial page (see, for example, the operational programme for agricultural development). On many occasions this causes considerable inconvenience to citizens or bodies who are interested.

Could the Commission intercede with the Greek authorities with a view to ensuring that the deadline for submitting proposals appears on the initial page?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(28 October 2002)

In several web pages of the Greek managing authorities of the sectoral and regional Operational Programmes (OP) of the Community support framework for the 2000-2006 programming period, there is indeed no distinction between open invitations to tender and those where the deadline has expired. Certain web pages, however, have provided this information (e.g. OP Information Society(1)) and the Commission intends to write to the Greek authorities inviting them to generalise this practice to all programmes.
