WRITTEN QUESTION E-2418/03

by Dominique Souchet (NI) to the Commission

(21 July 2003)

Subject:   Sustainable use of pesticides and aerial spraying

Paragraph seven of the European Parliament's resolution on a thematic strategy on the sustainable use of pesticides (P5_TA-PROV(2003)0128) states that Parliament ‘fully supports the recommendation for a ban on aerial spraying and the possibility to designate pesticide free zones’. This resolution forms part of the Van Brempt Report, which was adopted by Parliament at its plenary sitting of 27 March 2003 in Brussels.

Helicopter spraying accounts for only 1 % of the plant health treatments employed in Europe. However, some pesticide products can only be applied from the air, for a variety of reasons: the location of the parasite or the scale of the crop (cercosporiosis in bananas, the pine processionary caterpillar, last generation European corn borer, the corn root beetle), the geographical relief of the crop area (sloping vineyards), the type of climatic aberration (vine or potato mildew) or problems of access to the crop (rice fields).

In this case, how does the Commission intend to reconcile the ban on aerial spraying with the need for a consistent approach to combating plant diseases that sometimes can also affect man?

Answer given by Mrs Wallström on behalf of the Commission

(10 September 2003)

The Commission continues to be concerned about the specific risks linked to the application of pesticides via aerial spraying, in particular due to the exposure of bystanders and the environment incurred through spray-drift.

The Commission would like to recall that its proposals regarding a ban on aerial spraying in the Communication ‘Towards a Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides’ (1) foresaw the possiblity for derogation, when there are clear advantages and also environmental benefits compared to other spraying methods. The proposals have incited numerous comments from various stakeholders, which are widely diverging in their views. There are also existing or ongoing studies initiated by official bodies in Member States concerned. All information available is currently being examined further.

In the light of the results of this examination, the Commission will then propose the most appropriate measures regarding aerial spraying, taking into account a high level of protection for human health and the environment, technical feasibility, and the necessary crop protection.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1979/03

by Ian Hudghton (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(10 June 2003)

Subject:   Synthetic progestins in contraceptive pills and Hormone Replacement Therapy

Subject:

There is growing concern amongst users of oral contraceptives and HRT treatments which contain synthetic progestins following reports on possible links between synthetic progestins and breast cancer, as well as other health risks. Synthetic progestins are known to lead to oestrogen dominance which is, in turn, linked with breast cancer.

Can the Commission indicate what research is being undertaken to establish whether women are at risk from synthetic progestins; what guidance is being given to medical practitioners about using products containing synthetic progestins while the safety of these products is in doubt; and what public information is being provided to EU citizens to enable them to make informed choices about pharmaceutical products containing synthetic progestins?

Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission

(2 July 2003)

(2 July 2003)

The Commission is aware of the concern amongst users of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP) on 28 September 2001 adopted a Public Assessment Report on ‘Combined oral contraceptives and venous thromboembolism’ and a Position statement after its assessment of ‘third generation combined contraceptives containing the progestins desogestrel or gestodene and the risk of venous thromboembolism.’

In this report the CPMP considers that the Summaries of Products Characteristics (SPC) (i.e. the scientific documentation related to the products) and the User Package Leaflets should reflect the precautions for use of these products and should be communicated to the prescribers of COCs as well as the women in need of contraceptive therapy.

Last December 2002 the Member States medicine authorities adopted a core SPC for HRT with information on the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

On the other hand in order to assess the raised pharmacovigilance signals on venous thromboembolism, COCs and HRT are involved in a specific study and review at the Pharmacovigilance working group of the CPMP. There is not yet a definitive scientific position as the evaluation is going on.

In addition, the Commission is financing the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and nutrition (EPIC). This study might also contribute to unravelling an increased or decreased, but so far unknown, relative risk for breast cancer linked to COC and/or HRT.

Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 2:06-CR-323-1

Before KING, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Joseph T. Payne appeals from his conviction of being a felon in possession

of a firearm. He contends that the evidence was insufficient to prove that he

knowingly possessed a firearm. Because Payne failed to renew his motion for a

judgment of acquittal at the close of evidence, our review is for a “manifest

miscarriage of justice,” which “occurs only where the record is devoid of evidence

pointing to guilt or contains evidence on a key element of the offense [that is] so

tenuous that a conviction would be shocking.” United States v. Burton, 324 F.3d

768, 770 (5th Cir. 2003) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted;

brackets in original).

The evidence in Payne’s case was not so lacking as to make his conviction

shocking. He does not dispute that a .357 revolver was found underneath the

vehicle in which he was riding. The evidence at trial indicated that the revolver

was positioned in such a way that it appeared as if the occupant of Payne’s seat

had placed it there. A police detective observed Payne bend down as police

moved in on the vehicle. The same detective had observed the driver and

another passenger of the vehicle with automatic pistols on their persons before

they entered the vehicle with Payne; those same two people were arrested with

automatic pistols on their persons. The driver of the vehicle testified that he

possessed the firearm and placed it underneath the driver’s seat as police

approached the vehicle. However, the owner of the vehicle--the driver’s

girlfriend--testified that he never told her about having a .357 revolver or that

he had placed such a weapon underneath the seat of her vehicle, a vehicle to

which she controlled access. The driver’s explanation that the revolver must

have slid from underneath his seat to underneath Payne’s seat was doubtful, as

the vehicle came down from a highway off ramp before it was stopped.

Moreover, the driver offered conflicting testimony as to whether he left the

revolver inside the vehicle or was arrested with it on his person, and he never

claimed ownership of the revolver during interviews with police. The evidence

of Payne’s possession of the firearm went beyond his mere occupancy of the seat

underneath which the revolver was found, and beyond the observation that he

bent over as police approached the vehicle. See United States v. Mergerson, 4

F.3d 337, 349 (5th Cir. 1993).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2741/03

by Richard Corbett (PSE) to the Commission

(11 September 2003)

Subject:   Croatia

Subject:

When it considers Croatia's application for accession to the European Union, will the Commission look at the situation in Krajina as regards the return to their homes of the population driven out by the Croatian army in 1995? Does it consider that the possibility for displaced persons to return home and the treatment of minorities are matters that falls under the Copenhagen criteria for membership of the European Union?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(26 September 2003)

(26 September 2003)

When it considers Croatia's application for accession to the Union the Commission will review the extent of compliance of Croatia with the criteria laid down in Articles 49 and 6 of the Treaty establishing the European Union and further enshrined in the conclusions of the European Council of Copenhagen (1993). According to the latter (‘Copenhagen criteria’) a prospective member must: (i) be a stable democracy respecting human rights, the rule of law, and the protection of minorities; (ii) have a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union; (iii) adopt the common rules, standards and policies that make up the body of Community law.

Therefore the review of the process of refugee return in Croatia, and the treatment of minorities will be crucial to assessing the Government's fulfilment of the Copenhagen criteria, on the basis of which the Commission will make its recommendation to the Council on whether or not to open accession negotiations with Croatia in spring 2004.

The authorities in the USA and the EU are concentrating on regulatory and supervisory measures. Is it not a failure of the system of monitoring fair competition that external ratings are decided upon by five agencies, and the auditing of over 80 % of the 100 largest businesses in Belgium, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and well over 50 % of those in other EU countries is carried out by four accountancy firms?
