Can the Commission clarify if in its working buildings there are any paintings and/or art pieces?
If so, how many?
Has the use of taxpayers’ money to establish such collection ever been submitted to a vote?
How much in total was paid for the collection?
What is its current estimated worth?
Who decides which paintings to buy?
Does a set of guidelines exist for the European institutions as buyers?
If so, can the Commission provide me with a copy?
Is the acquisition programme continuing and, if so, how much has been allocated for purchase in 2012?
