(98/C 21/99) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0971/97 by Gianni Tamino (V) to the Commission (13 March 1997) Subject: Distribution of a CD-Rom entitled Cepití on EU funding for technological development and innovation Daily newspapers in Italy have recently included advertisements for a CD-Rom entitled Cepití containing information on how to obtain European funding for technological innovation. The advertisement includes the Union flag together with the words European Commission DG XIII › DG XVI, the logos of the ENEA (twice), the Ministry for Universities and Scientific Research, and the agency for the promotion of European research. The CD-Rom is produced and distributed by the Wonder Company srl of Trento and costs LIT 446 600 (approximately ECU 232). When asked, the Wonder Company said it had made available only one free copy of the CD-Rom to the Commission and one copy to the ENEA. Is the Commission aware of this product? Did it contribute to the product and, if so, how (documentation, funding, etc. )? Does it not consider that advertising a commercial initiative of this kind with the EU flag in a more prominent position than the logo of the company producing the product may lead to unrealistic expectations?
