WRITTEN QUESTION E-0335/00 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (14 February 2000) Subject: Increasing the national guaranteed quantity of cotton for Greece For many years Greek cotton production has exceeded the national guaranteed quantity (NGQ) of 782 000 tonnes, resulting in the imposition of large fines and a drastic reduction in producers' incomes, in addition to which the guaranteed target price ( 106,3/100 kg of non-husked seed) has remained unchanged for many years. In general terms, the producer organisations and other bodies involved are accordingly seeking an increase in the NGQ and in overall Community outlay. In the course of deliberations concerning new arrangements regarding support for cotton production and the adoption of Commission proposals, did Greece request an increase in the national guaranteed quantity and total Community outlay? When did it do so and to which bodies did it table its request? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (15 March 2000) The Commission has no jurisdiction to deal with the question asked, which is a matter solely for the national authorities concerned.
