WRITTEN QUESTION E-0272/99

by Manuel Escolá Hernando (ARE) to the Commission

(17 February 1999)

Subject: Transfer of resources and the Cohesion Fund

The publication on hydrological assessment in Spain and Portugal issued recently by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities mentions, on page 11, various remarks by the Spanish authorities in a letter of 8 November 1995 on the report by the MWL consultancy firm contained in the said publication. The said remarks refer to the transfer from one catchment area to another of the resources necessary to tackle the serious structural problems affecting a number of regions in Spain.

Does the Commission agree with this approach? In its view, are other options available whereby works which will encounter stiff opposition from political and social groups can be avoided?
