WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2669/96 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Commission. BSE  


Official Journal C 096 , 24/03/1997 P. 0015 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2669/96 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (15 October 1996)Subject: BSEThe European Commission has not provided an adequate justification for its decision to lift the ban on exports of semen from the United Kingdom, and we consider that it would be useful to ensure stricter monitoring of the situation in that country.Will the Commission continue to apply for a long time to come special rules with regard to British cattle and beef products, and tighten up the conditions to be met before the embargo is lifted; would it also introduce effective systems for the registration and identification of animals, and ensure that a labelling system to identify the origin of British beef products for an indefinite period?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (29 November 1996)The decision to remove bovine semen from the scope of Commission Decision 96/239/EC on emergency measures to protect against bovine spongiform encephalopathy ((OJ L 139, 12. 6.1996. )) was taken on the advice of the scientific veterinary committee. That committee reviewed the evidence from both experimental investigations and epidemiological studies and concluded that bovine semen does not pose a risk to animal health.The Commission will continue to keep the situation under review and will act in accordance with the scientific advice. Several inspections have already taken place in the United Kingdom and will continue. Furthermore the British authorities are obliged to send two-weekly reports about the situation of BSE, on the implementation of measures and control results, keeping the Commission and Member States informed. These reports have also been made available to Parliament's temporary committee of inquiry on BSE.Council Directive 92/102/EEC ((OJ L 355, 5.12.1992. )) laid down Community rules for the identification and registration of animals. Experience has shown that these rules have not been satisfactorily implemented. Accordingly, the Commission has recently adopted proposals ((COM(96) 460 final. )) for two Council regulations, one establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals, and the other regarding the labelling of beef and beef products.The aim of these proposals is to facilitate the rapid identification and tracing of individual bovine animals, and to regulate certain claims made on labelled beef and beef products.

Official Journal C 072 , 07/03/1997 P. 0070 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2658/96 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission (15 October 1996)Subject: Europol and paedophilesDoes the Commission not feel Europol should be used to keep lists of convicted paedophiles available to authorities in all Member States?Answer given by Mrs Gradin on behalf of the Commission (18 November 1996)The Council is about to extend the mandate of the Europol drug unit to include the fight against trafficking in human beings and the sexual exploitation of children. It should also shortly be adopting a programme including a review of the advisability and feasibility of a centralized exchange of information on missing children and persons convicted of paedophilia (Stop programme). The creation of such European data banks and in particular, the one suggested by the Honourable Member could be discussed as part of the implementation of these two measures. Although a decision of this type is the responsibility of the Council (justice and home affairs), the Commission believes that the Europol drug unit could have a role to paly in the matter.
