3. 12. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 348/9 (1999/C 348/009) WRITTEN QUESTION P-4009/98 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission Subject: Participation of Greece in programmes for the elderly (22 December 1998) According to Eurolink Age, the elderly and the organizations working with them may take advantage of various European programmes such as: ’ health promotion: budget heading B3-4300, ’ health surveillance: budget heading B3-4306, ’ Alzheimer’s disease: budget heading B3-4304, ’ free movement of workers and measures to benefit migrants: budget heading B3-4110, ’ action to integrate refugees: budget heading B3-4113. Will the Commission say: 1. whether Greece has submitted applications to take part in any of the above programmes, and 2. if so, in which programmes, what measures are involved and what is the budget for them? Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (18 March 1999) The Commission is happy to provide the Honourable Member with information on the budget headings mentioned in his question: ’ health promotion programme (B3-4300): Eight projects from Greece have been supported, with a total budget of € 2 195 421. The Commission has co-financed € 1 045 508; ’ Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD) (B3-4300, B3-4307 and B3-4304): Three projects from Greece have been selected, with a total budget of € 237 592. The Commission has co-financed € 159 231; ’ the Commission has so far not supported projects received from Greek organisations or citizens in health monitoring (B-4306); ’ no applications from Greek organisations or citizens for actions in favour of older migrants were submitted to take part in any of the programmes related to free movement of workers and measures to benefit migrants (B3-4110) or action to integrate refugees (B3-4113). The Commission would point out that any Member State, organisation or individual may take advantage of the European public health programmes adopted in accordance with Article 129 of the EC Treaty. However, it only co-finances projects encompassing several and preferably all Member States. Some applications have had Greek citizens and organisations acting as project leaders, but there has also been Greek participation in many more projects where project leaders have not been of Greek nationality.
