WRITTEN QUESTION E-2061/99 by Eryl McNally (PSE) to the Commission (12 November 1999) Subject: Legal basis of EU subsidies for the rearing of bulls used in bullfighting What is the Legal basis of EU subsidies for the rearing of bulls used in bullfighting Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (30 November 1999) There is no specific Community aid for the rearing of fighting bulls. However, these bulls are not excluded from the system of premiums for male bovine animals set up in 1987, the legal basis of which is Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1) (Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/98(2)), repealed and replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999(3) with effect from 1 January 2000. It should be pointed out that the breeders concerned earmark only a very small number of their male bovine animals for bullfights and that the use of the animals for this purpose is generally decided well after the age at which they benefited from the grant of the premium for male bovine animals.
