29. 11. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 341/91 (1999/C 341/128) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0312/99 by Klaus Lukas (NI) to the Commission (19 February 1999) Subject: European Training Foundation and missing EU funds continued Reply E-3560/98 (1) by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission left several questions unanswered. The member undersigned therefore wishes to put the following questions to the Commission: How much of the ECU 471 000 mentioned in the above reply has the Commission now recovered? How much money did the Commission transfer to this Franco-Polish project between September 1996 and January 1997? How much money has the Commission managed to recover by selling materials supplied to the project? How much money does the Commission yet hope to receive, and when? (1) OJ C 289, 11. 10. 1999. Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (1 April 1999) The Franco-Polish School has reimbursed the sum of €264 538 to the Commission. Between September 1996 and January 1997, two payments were made to the Franco-Polish School for an amount of €143 125 (€69 450 on 17 September 1996 and €73 675 on 13 December 1996). In a letter dated 11 February 1999, the liquidator made an initial proposal to the Commission via the Turin Foundation that the equipment relating to project JEP 09742-97 should be put on sale. He proposes accepting the amount of PLN 5 000 (approximately €1 208), which is the price in the highest bid received following the invitation to tender. The Commission is currently examining the liquidator’s proposal. The Commission is unfortunately unable to inform the Honourable Member of an amount, even an approximate one, because the liquidation procedure is still in progress. It will ensure that the Community’s interests are upheld as well as possible in order to recover the maximum amount.
