5. Is seriously concerned about the recurrent problem of the backlog of payments, especially under the cohesion policy (EUR 24.7 billion at the end of 2014), a phenomenon which is not sustainable in terms of sound financial management and puts at risk the implementation of the ESI Funds; stresses that there is a danger of perpetuating the ‘snowball’ effect of accumulating unpaid invoices at year’s end unless a tangible and sustainable solution to the problem is found, as fast as possible, through effective interinstitutional cooperation within the budgetary procedure; underlines the fact that delays in payments seriously and negatively ...[+++] affect implementation and good economic governance, decreasing the absorption capacity and jeopardising the effectiveness and efficiency of the cohesion policy and EU budget as a whole, ultimately creating practical difficulties and hampering the funding of beneficiaries;

Question No. 419 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to the risk of corrosion and spills and other safety concerns arising from the transport of bitumen in pipelines, and to government action to address these risks: (a) how does diluted bitumen compare with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) in terms of (i) abrasive material content, (ii) acid concentration, (iii) sulphur content, (iv) viscosity; (b) to what extent is diluted bitumen more likely than WTI to cause corrosion or erosion in the pipelines through which they respectively flow; (c) what is the composition of diluted bitumen in Canada; (d) what are all of the volatile chemicals, persi ...[+++]stent organic pollutants or carcinogenic substances present in diluted bitumen in Canada; (e) in the process of diluting bitumen in Canada, what are the (i) natural gas condensates used, (ii) other petroleum products used; (f) what is the process by which diluted bitumen corrodes pipelines, with specific reference to (i) abrasion, (ii) friction, (iii) high pressure, (iv) settling of sediment, (v) velocity, (vi) sulphur-reducing bacteria, (vii) other significant factors; (g) for all proposed or existing National Energy Board (NEB)-regulated pipelines, what is (i) the amount of hard sediment passing through the pipeline annually, (ii) the average pressure, (iii) the average temperature; (h) what, if any, (i) research, (ii) action, (iii) investment has the government undertaken to determine whether diluted bitumen can flow safely through pipelines; (i) what, if any, (i) research, (ii) action, (iii) investment has the government undertaken to determine whether or not conventional crude should be distinguished from diluted bitumen when setting minimum standards for pipelines; (j) what, if any, (i) research, (ii) action, (iii) investment has the government undertaken to design safety and spill responses and spill liability management capabilities that are appropriate specifically to diluted bitumen; (k) how does a diluted bitumen sp ...

Already in 2005, both Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have experienced heavy snowfalls, avalanches and flooding that have effected local communities.

As for regional and social aid and the appropriations for the Cohesion Fund, they will melt away like snow in the sun for the majority of their current beneficiaries and many of their future recipients.
