<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The provisions of Article44a of Council Regulation (EC) No1290/2005(1) of 21June, and of Commission Regulation (EC) No259/2008(2) of 18March, lay down that Member States must ensure the annual ex-post publication of the beneficiaries of Community agricultural subsidies and the amounts received.  However, in reply to my Question E‑4369/08, Commissioner Mariann Fisher Boel told me that ‘the Commission does not have a list with the names of the 55farmers whose applications were approved in 2005’ and that it merely knows the number of beneficiaries, because these figures are mentioned in the 2005 Annual Implementation Report for the Rural Development Programmes (RDP mainland Portugal 2000‑06), on page 26 of the annex on the Monitoring Indicators and in the annex ‘New agri-environment applications received in 2005’.   1.How does the Commission explain the difference between what is expressly laid down in the regulations and the reply that I was given?  2.What has the Commission done, or does it intend to do to ensure that the obligatory annual publication in Portugal of the lists of the beneficiaries of Community aid to agriculture takes place punctually and in full?  3.Where can I obtain this list of names in the meantime?
