WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1221/96 by Martina GREDLER to the Commission. Low-allergen latex  


Official Journal C 305 , 15/10/1996 P. 0067 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1221/96 by Martina Gredler (ELDR) to the Commission (23 May 1996)Subject: Low-allergen latexLatex can trigger serious allergies. A reduction in the allergenic properties of latex would be an important step forward, since latex products are frequently used in medicine. At present, neither ambulances nor hospitals are normally equipped with latex-free emergency equipment.Have any investigations been carried out into the incidence of latex allergies in the Member States?Have there been any investigations into the cost of treating latex allergies in the Member States?Does the Commission intend to draw up a proposal for a regulation to ensure the development of low-allergen latex?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (12 July 1996)The Commission has become aware of this type of problem and is working on the subject of bio-compatibility with the European Committee for Standardisation and experts on standardising. This work is being undertaken in two different directions:* establishing harmonised European standards on bio-compatibility. This area also covers allergic reactions. Some of these standards concerning bio-compatibility in general are already approved and support the application of directives on the general mechanisms;* allergic reactions specifically caused by latex. A proposal has been made to undertake co-normative and pre-normative research in order to devise a methodology for studying the allergenic effects of latex and other materials used in similar fields. These studies are the subject of the STAR programme.The Commission does not possess data or carry out research on the prevalence and treatment of allergies caused by latex in the Member States. It does not intend to propose any regulations on this subject.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1250/96 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Commission. Fishery resources and fishing rights  


Official Journal C 365 , 04/12/1996 P. 0003 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1250/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (23 May 1996)Subject: Fishery resources and fishing rightsAfter prolonged efforts, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, adopted in 1982, established as a principle of the right to fish the obligation to conserve and rationally manage natural resources.It also encouraged the interested States to cooperate in adopting effective measures to safeguard and to conserve these resources. Such provisions have proved to be essential with regard to both the extension of fishing zones and the steady increase in deep sea fishing.The international Conventions to which the EU is a party are geared to the direct protection of species (NASCO), or safeguarding species within certain geographical areas (NAFO).Has independent research has been conducted within the EU on the state of fishery resources which come under the Community's jurisdiction?Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission (2 July 1996)The Honourable Member correctly points out that, under the regime established by the United Nations Convention on the law of the sea of 1982, the right to fish carries with it, in principle, an obligation to take appropriate conservation measures for the fisheries resources concerned, on the basis of the best scientific advice available.The Northwest Atlantic fisheries organization (NAFO) has a scientific council of its own which provides the relevant scientific advice. In the case of the North Atlantic salmon conservation organization (NASCO) and the North-East Atlantic fisheries commission (NEAFC), the relevant scientific advice is provided, upon request of these organizations, by the International council for the exploration of the sea (ICES).As regards conservation measures which the Community has to take for the fisheries resources within Community fishing waters, as well as conservation measures which the Community takes autonomously for fisheries resources of the high seas, or which the Community takes through direct cooperation with other states in the case of joint stocks (for example, with Norway), the relevant independent scientific advice is equally provided by ICES.

Official Journal C 305 , 15/10/1996 P. 0069 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1237/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (23 May 1996)Subject: VetsThe differences between the provisions in force regarding the prescription of veterinary medicinal products in the various Member States give rise to:1. considerable trafficking of such products;2. residues which interest the consumer in particular and are not subject to any controls.In the same way, differences in provisions continuing training means that, in some Member States, there are courses which are not recognized throughout the Community.Does the Commission not consider that it would be useful to harmonize both the prescription requirement for veterinary medicinal products, and the provisions on continuing training?Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (24 June 1996)The Commission has no knowledge of any trafficking in veterinary medicinal products caused by differences regarding the prescription of veterinary medicinal products. It will gather the necessary information and consult Member States regarding the possibility of introducing harmonized Community provisions for the prescription requirement for veterinary medicinal products.The Commission does not envisage the need to harmonize continuing training for veterinary surgeons; indeed, in the majority of Member States, this is considered to be more of an ethical obligation.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1239/96 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Commission. Asbestos pollution  


Official Journal C 322 , 28/10/1996 P. 0043 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1239/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (23 May 1996)Subject: Asbestos pollutionThe Luzzati district, a suburb to the east of Naples, two kilometres from the city centre, is flanked by scores of railway sidings. There are many wagons, too many to be counted, full of asbestos, left on the sidings a few metres from the houses, and more arrive every day without any controls; on top of this the Italian state railways are unclear as to who gave the order for the asbestos to be parked next to a residential area.Asbestos is apparently not dangerous in its solid state but becomes fatal and carcinogenic when it is broken up, shattered or when it 'drips' at high temperatures. An environmental bomb was thus set off when a wagon was burned while some workers were dissembling it.Can the Commission verify the facts set out above and take the matter up with the Italian state railways, the Commune and the competent local health authority, in order to establish where responsibility lies and to avert the serious risk of pollution?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (2 July 1996)The Commission shares the Honourable Member's concerns as regards the facts that he has just described concerning the environmental nuisances in the Luzzati district of surburban Naples.Since the situation could constitute an infringement of Directive 91/689/EEC on dangerous wastes, ((OJ L 377, 31.12.1991. )) the Commission will contact the Italian authorities and ask for their comments.
