EAGGF: measures relating to German reunification. Special report 4/97 Court of Auditors
1997/2064(COS)
In adopting the report by Mr Salvador GARRIGA POLLEDO (EPP, E) concerning the audit of
certain aspects of German reunification measures Parliament regretted that the Court of Auditors'
special report had been concluded with considerable delay.
However it appreciated the Community's contribution to the integration of the new Länder in the
structures of the common agricultural policy occurring under exception circumstances (absence of
a transitional period, retrospective implementation of certain measures in the dairy sector). It noted
in particular that this integration of the former GDR into the CAP had been achieved without
substantial supplementary expenditure to the Community budget.
It regretted, however, the Commission's delays in checking the programmes co-financed by the
Community (eradication of enzootic bovine leucosis, in particular) and called for the recovery of
certain sums unduly paid.
