1999 discharge: 6th, 7th and 8th European Development Funds (EDF)

By adopting the report by Mrs Heide RÜHLE (GREENS/EFA, D), Parliament decided to postpone the discharge for the sixth, seventh and eighth European Development Funds (EDF). (Please refer to the previous document). It should be noted that postponement of the discharge will also provide an opportunity to examine, on the basis of figures to be made in May 2001, to what extent the Commission is ensuring measurable progress with regard to the volume and effectiveness of Community aid in the health sector in the context of poverty reduction.
