Common fisheries policy: control and inspection systems, Community financial contribution

The European Parliament adopted, with amendment, the report by Mr Salvador JOVE PERES (EUL/NGL, E) on the financial contributions by the Community to certain expenditure incurred by the Member States in implementing the control, inspection and surveillance systems applicable to the common fisheries policy. The amended text states the annual financial contribution shall be 100% of the eligible expenditure of the Member States and that the annual financial contribution per Member State shall be, at most, 35% of eligible expenditure. Moreover, an amendment to the timetable is envisaged so as to give the Member States enough time to submit their annual expenditure forecast programmes (by the 31/06/2001 at the latest). �
