WRITTEN QUESTION No. 222/98 by Markus FERBER to the Commission. EU aid from the social and regional funds for Bavarian Swabia
17. 7. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 223/141 Paragraphs 2 to 4 provide that the Commission shall assess those amounts and then adopt an outline plan of co-financing action. Since no assessments have been received from the Member States the Commission has so far been unable to prepare any such action plan. Conversely it is dealing with its future adoption by proposing that implementation of Natura 2000 should form part of the activities that are eligible under the structural funds and the common agricultural policy.
