Official Journal C 386 , 11/12/1998 P. 0064
WRITTEN QUESTION E-0970/98 by Robin Teverson (ELDR) to the Commission (30 March 1998) Subject: Delays in ESF payments for 1996 Can the Commission confirm that it is taking action to speed up final payment on outstanding ESF claims for 1996? Some project managers in my constituency are still awaiting final payment of their 1996 ESF claims which they submitted in December 1996 - a 15 - month delay! Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (8 May 1998) The Commission is pleased to confirm that it has taken all necessary action to speed up final payments on outstanding European social fund (ESF) claims for 1996. Moreover, the Commission welcomes the recent statement from the Minister for employment, welfare to work and equal opportunities, announcing the decision to pre-fund receipts from the Commission. The new arrangements will apply to all valid claims from the 1997 programme to the second payment for 1999 programme.
