1997/0106(SYN)

Commissioner Papoutsis stated that he could not accept Amendments Nos 1, 3, 4, 11, 14, 24, 26 and 27. The Commissioner agreed that ECU 30 million was only a drop in the ocean but added that this programme was not a high priority within Agenda 2000. This explained why its funding was not being increased.
