    WRITTEN QUESTION E-1558/99

    by Richard Corbett (PSE) to the Commission

    (1 September 1999)

    Subject: Regional funding

    Is it really the case that Luxembourg, the richest Member State in per capita terms, has had the largest percentage in regional fund allocations under Agenda 2000? Does the Commission think this is justified?

    Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

    (11 October 1999)

    Following the adoption of the new Structural Fund regulations (i.e. Council Regulation (EC) 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), Regulation (EC) 1261/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 June 1999 on the European Regional Development Fund(2) and Regulation (EC) 1262/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 June 1999 on the European Social Fund(3) the Commission decided on 1 July 1999 how the commitment appropriations would be divided up among the Member States under Objectives 1, 2 and 3 of the Structural Funds and the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance outside Objective 1 regions in the period 2000-2006. These Commission decisions cover 183 564 million of the 195 010 million overall appropriation for the Structural Funds, at 1999 prices.

    Of that amount, Luxembourg will receive 0,04 %, which is the smallest share of the 15 Member States.
