(2000/C 225 E/265) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0427/00 by Camilo Nogueira RomÆn (Verts/ALE) to the Commission (23 February 2000) Subject: Distribution by the Spanish Government of ERDF Objective 1 resources earmarked for Galicia In his reply of 21 December 1433/99) (1) on the above subject, Commission Barnier said that, during the 1994-1999 period, Spain allocated to Galicia ERDF resources amounting to EUR 553,86 million. According to the information provided by the Commissioner, this is equal to 12,09 % of the total amount allocated to Objective 1 autonomous communities in Spain, given that Galicia accounts for 11,67 % of the population of those territories. The Commissionís reply only seems to take account of the funds which the Spanish Government was allocated for direct administration by the autonomous communities. However, given that these resources only account for 45 % of the total amount allocated to Spain by the European Union, my question referred in particular to the use of the 55 % set aside by the Spanish Government for centralised policies which, in many cases, have nothing to do with Objective 1. Will the Commission therefore state what proportion of the remaining 55 % of ERDF Objective 1 funds received by the Spanish Government were allocated to Galicia in the 1994-1999 period? To what extent will this information be taken into account in approving the Community support framework for the 2000-2006 period? (1) See page 2. Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission (10 March 2000) The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its findings as soon as possible.
