WRITTEN QUESTION E-2818/03
by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (PPE-DE) to the Commission
(19 September 2003)
Subject: Commitment and absorption of Cohesion Fund appropriations for Greece in 2003
Can the Commission provide information on the current situation as regards the commitment and absorption of Cohesion Fund appropriations for Greece in 2003? Does the Commission consider the situation to be satisfactory?
Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission
(21 October 2003)
The Commission can inform the Honourable Member that, as at 30 September 2003, commitments for Greece in 2003 under the Cohesion Fund were EUR 167 million, to which a further EUR 29 million currently being implemented can be added, plus an additional amount of around EUR 53 million for new projects at the final examination stage.
The Commission has requested the Greek authorities to submit new applications for part-financing as quickly as possible so that EUR 612 million, which is the indicative amount that Greece is supposed to commit under the 2003 budget, can be committed. The Greek authorities have reconfirmed their intention of submitting sufficient new applications very shortly to meet the EUR 612 million target.
