Official Journal C 280 , 25/09/1996 P. 0081 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0791/96 by Anita Pollack (PSE) to the Commission (3 April 1996)Subject: Delays to phasing out VOCs in UKIs the Commission aware that the UK Government has postponed a series of deadlines for phasing out VOCs by the printing, leather, paint, paper, rubber, film and textile and fabric industries and does the Commission believe this will harm the UK's ability to meet the deadline laid down in the EU directive to cut VOC emissions by 30 per cent by 1999?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (7 May 1996)The Commission is aware that the United Kingdom government has postponed certain deadlines for the phasing out of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by the printing, leather, paint, paper, rubber, film and textile and fabric industries. For the industries in question, the Commission has made a commitment in the 1996 work programme to bring forward a directive controlling emissions from these installations. This directive will go further than the Economic commission for Europe of the United Nations (UNECE) protocol and will set the targets which the Commission considers should be met from this sector.The question of compliance with the obligations of the UNECE protocol, which cover the totality of man-made VOC emissions, is in the first instance an obligation under international law of the ratifying country. The United Kingdom has stated that its action will not affect its ability to meet its obligations under the UNECE protocol.
