<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The Euro-lottery for employment and culture is a non-profit-making project designed to generate funds to create jobs and enable those playing the lottery to participate in investments.  In October 1986 the then European Commissioner, Mr Ripa di Meana, told EU Finance Ministers that a feasibility study of the project was being undertaken and in July 1987 asked them to adopt a position on the matter. Between January 1988 and December 1994, work of all kinds was done on the project pending a final decision.  Will the Commission say what the current situation is regarding this project, given the clearly favourable stance adopted by the Commission at the time and bearing in mind that in May 1996 the French Government considered the possibility of introducing the project at national level?"
