Question for written answer P-001714-14
to the Commission
Rule 117
Eider Gardiazábal Rubial (S&D)
The European election campaign is about to begin in Spain. It is now more necessary than ever to provide citizens with detailed information on the benefits that EU membership brings in order to offset the negative image that is constantly portrayed in the media and in nationalist or frankly anti-European speeches.
One of the areas where Spanish citizens can see tangible benefits is the aid that Spain has received from the Community budget in recent years.
Could the Commission list the amounts of commitments made by the Community budget during the 2007-2013 financial framework, with a breakdown of the figures by autonomous community, in the following areas:
- —European Regional Development Fund — European Social Fund
- —Cohesion Fund
- —Common agricultural policy — rural development — European Fisheries Fund
- —Life+
- —Research Framework Programme
- —Education and lifelong learning, in particular Erasmus (including the number of beneficiaries)
- —European Globalisation Adjustment Fund
- —Appropriations in the field of freedom, security and justice
- —Citizenship programmes (culture, MEDIA, Youth in Action, etc.)?
