Will the Commission state whether, in its view: 1. 2. such provisions relating to the management of markets are the responsibility of the European Union or Member States? on this basis, national authorities may delegate their powers in this area to national or regional interprofes- sional organizations? 3. such provisions comply with the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Communities? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (15 June 1998) The French authorities notified to the Commission on 13 May 1998 the general agricultural bill that they plan to present to Parliament in the next few weeks. The Commission is at present examining the entire bill with reference to Community law, including the provisions on interprofessional organisations to which the Honourable Member refers. Given the short time that has elapsed since notification the Commission has not yet formulated its views on this wide-ranging bill. When it has done so the Honourable Memberís individual questions will be answered.
