". – Mr President, firstly I should like to finalise my remarks concerning the amendments. I am pleased to say that there are 31 amendments which the Commission can fully support in part or in principle. The amendments which the Commission cannot support are: Amendments 1, 3, 8 to 11, 14, 21, 31, 35, 40 to 42, 45, 46 and 48 to 49.
Concerning the discussion about the financial issue of the EUR 5 million, the budget line available for the regulations on atmospheric pollution and forest fires also covered the EFICS. The EFICS has never utilised the available resources and there has not been an effort on the part of Member States to utilise the provisions of this regulation in the past.
The proposal is based on the amount of EUR 16 million, which constituted the resources available for 2001, when the transfer of responsibilities of the two regulations had been finalised between DGs Agriculture and Environment. This amount has been reallocated between Forest Focus – EUR 13 million – and EFICS - EUR 3 million – to cover the monitoring needs related to forests.
As the rural development budget and provisions cover the measures on forest fire prevention, it was not deemed necessary to transfer additional resources to the rural development regulation. This type of transfer cannot guarantee that the available resources are not reattributed only to the Member States that have been recipients under the fire prevention regulation in the past. I have taken careful note of the views expressed in the debate, but I must stand by my previous remarks about the Commission's views on these issues."@en1
