WRITTEN QUESTION E-2635/99 by Hiltrud Breyer (Verts/ALE) to the Commission. Support for nuclear energy and renewable energies.
8. 8. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 225 E/187 Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission (15 February 2000) The Commission would like to inform the Honourable Member that it has examined this case following a complaint which called into question the legality of the award procedure for this contract. On the basis of the information contained in the complaint, the Commission expressed reservations about the legality of certain parts of the procedure in a letter sent to the Greek authorities, and has requested further information and comments from these authorities. Certain details which cast doubt on the legality of this contract have also appeared in the Greek press. Before concluding its examination, the Commission has, therefore, also attempted to determine the truth of these allegations. The examination of this dossier will be completed shortly. The fact that there have been delays in the construction of the building is certainly regrettable, but it is not up to the Commission to apportion responsibility. The Commission would also like to assure the Honourable Member that Community co-financing for carrying out this project will be re-examined once the Commission has concluded its final assessment of the aforementioned complaint.

I would therefore repeat my request: will the Commission send me the list of projects funded by the EU in India helping the Indian leather industry (leather, footwear and fine leather goods), stating the date of approval and the objectives?
