WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2710/96 by Klaus REHDER to the Commission. Spanish shipping register  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0053 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2710/96 by Klaus Rehder (PSE) to the Commission (16 October 1996)Subject: Spanish shipping registerThe Spanish 'State and merchant navy ports act' enacted on 24 November 1992, governed the ordinary law on shipping and shipping companies (the 'First Register'). The 15th supplementary provision to this law now sets up a Second Register on the Canary Islands, and its Art. 6 imposes particular requirements concerning the nationality of ships' crews. Under this provision a ship's captain and first officer must always have Spanish nationality. This regulation restricts the free access of workers from other EU Member States to jobs on Spain's Second Register ships.To what extent is this restriction compatible with EC law, and in particular Art. 48 of the EEC Treaty in the case law of the European Court of Justice (the 'Seafarers' judgment)?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (28 November 1996)On ships flying the flag of a Member State the posts of ship's Nos One and Two (in other words, master or chief officer insofar as he replaces the master) raise special considerations.On-board functions at this level require the exercise of public authority in the sense of the provisions of Article 48 paragraph 3 EC Treaty which lay down that, on grounds of public policy and public security, a limitation to employment may apply in the Member States. The responsibility of the ship's master or his deputy for the exercise of public authority on board ships is directly related to crew and passengers and their life and property at sea, as well as protection of the marine environment.The Commission believes that the Spanish provisions cannot be considered to be in contradiction with Community legislation.

Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0055 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2717/96 by Bartho Pronk (PPE) to the Commission (16 October 1996)Subject: Noise level in discos1. Is the noise level in discos covered by European directives on health and safety at work?2. What is the permitted noise level (in decibels)?3. Do these directives apply only to employees of discos, or to they apply to persons visiting discos, too?4. If not, are there any other directives on noise level which are applicable to persons visiting discos?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (26 November 1996)1. - 3. Council Directive 86/188/EEC ((OJ L 137, 24.5.1986. )) on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to noise at work has as one of its aims the protection of workers against risks to their hearing, including the prevention of such risks.This Directive applies to anyone employed by an employer with the exception of workers engaged in sea and air transport.When the daily personal exposure of a worker to noise is likely to exceed 85 decibel (A), appropriate measures have to be taken according to Articles 4-6 of the Directive.4. There is no Community legislation dealing with noise levels applicable to people visiting discos.

Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0054 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2713/96 by Patricia McKenna (V) to the Commission (16 October 1996)Subject: Promotion of cycling in the EUCan the Commission give details of any initiatives it has planned to promote cycling as a healthy and environmentally responsible alternative to driving throughout the European Union?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (21 November 1996)The Commission is aware of the huge benefits to the environment of travelling by bicycle rather than by car, particularly in urban areas.On the Commission's initiative a network of 'car-free city centres' was set up in 1994 and now comprises some sixty local authorities. One of the working groups within this network is looking at ways of encouraging walking and cycling. Presumably the recent decision by the town of Palermo to create a 130km cycle track network was partly due to the active role that this town has played in the 'car-free city centres' network.In its Green Paper entitled, 'The citizen's network', ((COM(95) 601. )) the Commission recognized the benefits of measures to better integrate the use of bicycles with public transport. As an example of this it highlighted the bicycle centres run by the Dutch railways, which are sited in railway stations and provide guarded parking, bicycle hire, repair and sales.As well as contributing to the 'velocity' (bike city) conferences which are organized every two years by the European Cyclists Federation, the Commission recently initiated discussions with this organization, which represents European cyclists, in order to explore possibilities for cooperation at European level.The Commission is currently supporting the activities of the European network for the promotion of health-enhancing physical activity under its Community action programme on health promotion, information, education and training.

Amended  proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  DECISION 

on inter-administration telematic networks for statistics relating to the 
trading of goods between Member States 
(EDICOM) 

(presented  by the Commission  pursuant  to  Article  189 a (2) 
of  the EC-Treaty) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The EDICOM actions aim to support the system for collection of statistics on 
the  trading  of  goods  between  Member  States  (INTRASTAT).  It  has  been 
one  of  the  political  priorities  necessary  for  the  achievement  of  the  single 
market since its launch in 1993. 

The  new  préamble  presented  by  the  Parliament  underlined  the  priority  of 
these actions and the necessity  of ensuring coordination  which is  acceptable 
to the Commission. 

Consequently,  the  formal  adoption  of  the  EDICOM  decision  would  ensure 
the  shortest  delays possible  for  the  continuation  of the  work  and  to  re-start 
the  necessary  actions  for  the  1996  programme  which  has  been  interrupted 
since the judgement of the Court of Justice on 26 March 1996. 

Following the adoption on a first reading on 20 September 1996 of the opinion of 
the  European  Parliament  on  the  proposal  for  a  Council  decision  on  inter-
administration  telematic networks for  statistics relating to the trading  of goods 
between Member States (Edicom) and pursuant to Article 189a (2) of the Treaty, 
the initial proposal presented by the Commission in document COM(96) 0319 is 
amended as follows:

Recital 10a (new) 

Whereas  the  measures  aimed  at  ensuring  the  interoperability  of  telematic 
networks between administrations fall within the framework of priorities adopted 
in relation to the guidelines for trans-European teleconimunications networks;
