lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Mr Ferrández Lezaun’s question reminds me of the debate that we had recently with Mrs Wallström in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy on this major dossier of the Ebro. The Spanish authorities have requested Community financing from the Cohesion Fund and the Structural Funds for the project to divert water from the River Ebro. The eligibility dates of the expenditure for the various sub-projects are 29 December 2003 and 1 January 2002 respectively. The Spanish authorities do not therefore need to wait for the Commission to give its decision before starting these projects, given that beginning the work will in no way prejudice the Commission’s decision on whether to grant Community financing. In other words, it is one thing to start the project and it is quite another to receive confirmation of Community financing. If, then, after investigating this project as part of an overall process of reflection on the Ebro – as I said the other day before the Committee on the Environment – the Commission were to decide not to support particular parts of the overall project, the Member State alone would have to bear the cost of the expenditure incurred. That is my answer to the question."@en1
