WRITTEN QUESTION No. 877/96 by Clive NEEDLE to the Commission. Separate labelling of Mechanically Recovered Meat  


Official Journal C 297 , 08/10/1996 P. 0041 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0877/96 by Clive Needle (PSE) to the Commission (17 April 1996)Subject: Separate labelling of Mechanically Recovered MeatThe UK Government submitted a paper to the European Standing Committee on Foodstuffs in October 1994 which proposed that Mechanically Recovered Meat should be considered sufficiently different to justify separate labelling. This was agreed by a majority of Member States but the Commission has yet to make known its opinion.Will the Commission now state its position on the separate listing of MRM on label ingredients?Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (20 May 1996)Following the meeting of the standing committee for foodstuffs of October 1994, the Commission has convened meetings of experts on food labelling from the Member States to consider the labelling of mechanically recovered meat (MRM). There is agreement in principle that the presence of MRM should be specifically indicated on the labelling.Discussions are continuing between the Commission and the Member States on the most appropriate means of achieving this result.The Commission will ensure that the Honourable Member is informed of the outcome of these discussions.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 879/96 by James MOORHOUSE to the Commission. Electrical safety  


Official Journal C 280 , 25/09/1996 P. 0097 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0879/96 by James Moorhouse (PPE) to the Commission (17 April 1996)Subject: Electrical safetyIn view of the continuing negotiations in Cenelec to harmonize plugs and sockets across the EU, and the concern this has caused consumers, does the Commission have any detailed data on electrocutions?Does the Commission have any estimates of the total cost for householders and businesses of adapting to a common electrical system?Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf ofthe Commission (15 May 1996)The Commission and the Member States collect detailed information on home and leisure accidents in the framework of the Ehlass decision ((OJ L 331, 21.12.1994 as modified by OJ L 120, 31.5.1995. )). The Commission's data indicates the number of accidents in which the accident mechanism was electrocution. These data also show the product involved in the accident. However plugs and sockets are not registered as products themselves, but are considered as parts of a product i.e. a lamp or a washing machine.Furthermore, it is not possible - due to the way national reports are made - to link a certain accident mechanism to a certain product. The conclusion is that the data in the possession of the Commission is not very useful in showing whether plugs or sockets constitute a hazard for consumers.For the second part of the question on cost involved, the Honourable Member is invited to refer to the reply to Written Question P-325/96 by Mr Mombaur ((OJ C 217 of 26.7.1996, p. 22. )).
