WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3910/97 by Hiltrud BREYER to the Commission. Seveso directive
C 223/32 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 17. 7. 98 2. At its meeting of 3 December 1997, the programme monitoring committee in principle agreed to the modification of sub-programme 1 (general and technical education) to take account of the need to support the integrated lyceum. Moreover, the monitoring committee stressed that the main structure of the sub-programme in question will be maintained. Budgets will be adapted on the basis of the implementation to date, without damaging the current planning. Multifund actions of the adopted programme, like school libraries, information technologies and mobility programmes will be adjusted to give priority to the development of the integrated lyceum. Implementation mechanisms will remain unchanged. Following the above, the ministry of Education will submit to the monitoring committee, as soon as possible, detailed proposals regarding the implementation of the new actions, as well as the necessary financial information (e. g. budgets, financial tables). On the basis of the detailed proposals, the monitoring committee will then proceed to final decisions. Consequently, it is premature for the Commission to express its views on the subject, before having the detailed proposals.
