Subject: Financing agreements with the Czech Republic

On the occasion of his visit to the Czech Republic in early October Commissioner van den Broek signed three financing agreements with the Czech Finance Minister, Mr Svoboda, involving payments of ECU 36,9 million to the Czech Republic from PHARE funds. ECU 4,8 million is to be spent on strengthening the external frontiers of the EU.

1. What specific projects will be covered by the ECU 4,8 million?

2. Will the sum also be used to build reception camps on Germany's and Austria's current external frontiers?

3. Are the payments linked to tangible progress in the fight against the evil of trafficking in illegal immigrants?

4. What is the substance of the other agreements concerning cross-border cooperation between the Czech Republic and Germany (ECU 7 million) and Austria (ECU 2,9 million)?

5. Why did the Commission sign these two agreements?

The Council is unable to reply to the Honourable Member's questions, which are a matter for the Commission in the context of the implementation of the PHARE programme.
