". – The Commission recognises that the Kvarken region and in particular the ferry route between Vaasa in Finland and Umeå in Sweden may have been affected by the decision taken by the Council to abolish duty-free sales for intra-Community travellers. As has been pointed out on previous occasions, several instruments exist at EU level to deal with specific problems that could arise. It is, however, up to Member States to identify possible needs for action and to set their priorities for the use of such instruments. For the period 2000 to 2006, Finland and Sweden in cooperation with Norway have submitted a programme proposal under the Interreg Community initiative for the Kvarken-Mittskandia area. This proposal is currently under consideration by the Commission services. The proposal includes actions to examine infrastructure and communications across the Kvarken and also between Sweden and Norway, and it is expected to be approved in the coming weeks, which would allow projects to be submitted early next year. At this stage I am not able to assess the impact of this programme, which has yet to be put into place."@en1
