WRITTEN QUESTION E-0537/99 by Daniel Varela Suanzes-Carpegna (PPE) to the Commission (12 March 1999) Subject: Fish product canning industry and aquaculture in the European Union At its June 1998 part-session the European Parliament debated and adopted the own-initiative report on the fish product canning industry and aquaculture in the European Union (A4-0137/98)(1), in the conclusions to which, inter alia, it declared that "the sardine industry represents an economic activity of major importance for many Community regions" and pointed out that the sector is in a state of crisis, which requires the urgent adoption of protection measures, such as: "(...) provision of the necessary funds for the period 2000-2006 to assist restructuring of the industry, in addition to the appropriations provided for under the present Structural Funds." Can the Commission say what measures have been taken to comply with Parliament's request and tackle the grave crisis in the sardine canning industry? (1) OJ C 210, 6.7.1998, p. 295.
