(98/C 21/105) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1235/97 by Laura Gonza·lez A· lvarez (GUE/NGL) to the Commission Subject: Urban development in Sanlucar de Barrameda, Spain (7 April 1997) According to recent media reports in Andalusia, Spain, the Commission has published an opinion on the environmental viability of an urban development project (the Hohenlohe project) which may infringe Community environmental legislation. What is the legal standing of the opinion and on what basis has it been drawn up? Is the Hohenlohe project receiving Community finance via the structural funds? If not, might it be jeopardizing other measures which are being carried out with structural fund monies under the Doñana II operational programme? Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (29 May 1997) The Commission is not aware of the information published in Andalusia about its áopinioní on an urban development project in Sanlu·car de Barrameda. In any case, it has not issued and is not required to issue an áopinioní on the project. The Commission has not financed the Hohenlohe project, which lies outside the area of the Doñana II programme and so has no impact on Community assistance which has already been approved.
