WRITTEN QUESTION E-3043/98

by José Apolinário (PSE) to the Commission

(8 October 1998)

Subject: Carob growing

Can the Commissioner tell me the current estimates for the area under carobs and the number of trees in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece, what the pattern has been in the last ten years and what specific measures have been applied to the cultivation of carobs?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(4 November 1998)

Around 100 000 hectares of carob trees are cultivated in the Community. However, the Commission does not have more precise details of the current situation and trends relating to areas under carobs. It will collect this information from the Member States and communicate it directly to the Honourable Member.

With respect to specific measures applied in the carob sector, the Honourable Member is asked to refer to the reply given by the Commission to Written Question P-2096/98 by Mr Musumeci(1).
