WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3001/96 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Storage of radioactive waste in Bulgaria  


Official Journal C 096 , 24/03/1997 P. 0048 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3001/96 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Storage of radioactive waste in BulgariaIt is reported that Bulgaria is unable to complete the construction of the special plant for the storage of radioactive waste from its nuclear reactors.Although it has already received ECU 6m from the EU, it has been unable to find provide the Lk 86m necessary to complete this urgently needed plant.In addition, Bulgaria's sixth nuclear reactor, with a capacity of 1000 MW, is due to come on stream on 12 November 1996, the nuclear fuel having already been received from Russia.1. Will the Commission take measures, and what measures, to ensure the safety of the area around Bulgaria, since the unsuitable storage of radioactive waste in Bulgaria would constitute a danger for a number of countries including a Member State of the European Union, Greece.2. What measures will it take to find out what has happened to the ECU 6m received by Bulgaria and when?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (6 January 1997)A grant of 6 MECU has been accorded to Bulgaria to design and build a low activity nuclear waste treatment facility. This grant is a part of the Phare cross border cooperation programme between Bulgaria and Greece.The objectives of the project are to process the low level radioactive waste collected in intermediate storage on the Kozloduy nuclear power plant site and to condition the waste to its final form for disposal.The need for this facility arises from the fact that the storage capacity in the Kozloduy nuclear power plant is nearly full. The Kozloduy nuclear plant with its six reactors is the only nuclear power plant in Bulgaria.1. The Community, by financing this project, is contributing to the safety of the region by providing environmental protection and containment of radioactive material.2. With regard to the use of the Community contribution, technical specifications for equipment have been prepared for subsequent tendering and contracts can be envisaged in the context of an overall satisfactory progress of the project. Generally, all Phare projects are subject to monitoring and evaluation and the Court of auditors performs systematic missions in all the recipient countries to verify the correct use of the allocated funds.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3012/96 by Carlos ROBLES PIQUER to the Commission. Channels for the provision of humanitarian aid to Cubans  


Official Journal C 105 , 03/04/1997 P. 0042 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3012/96 by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Channels for the provision of humanitarian aid to CubansDespite the suspension of negotiations on a Cooperation Agreement caused by the rigid political intransigence of the Castroist system which does not grant any political freedoms to, nor respect the rights of, its citizens, the Commission continues to provide humanitarian aid to Cuba with the general approval of Parliament.Can the Commission name the non-governmental or analogous organizations in Cuba through which ECHO attempts to channel such aid to those in greatest need?What sums in ecus or other currencies have each of these organizations received in 1996? What controls are there to ensure that this aid from the budget paid for by the taxpayers in the various Member States reaches its intended destination?Answer given by Ms Bonino on behalf of the Commission (10 January 1997)The humanitarian aid that the Commission provides to Cuba is channelled exclusively through European non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which for the year 1996 were the following: ACSUR (E), Caritas (D), Caritas (E), CISP (I), Rote Kreuz (D), Erikshjälpen (S), France Libertés (F), GVC (I), Médecins du Monde (F), Médicos del Mundo (E), Médicos sin Fronteras (E), MPDL (E), OIKOS (P), Save the Children (GB) and Solidaridad Internacional (E).The unloading and transport of the humanitarian goods towards Havana's central depots takes place under the sole responsibility of the Commission technical assistance office there. The non-governmental organizations, partners to the Commission, distribute the humanitarian aid to the designated beneficiaries, and must ensure its follow-up and control. The evaluations carried out by the Commission have shown that the aid does effectively reach the recipients.

Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0111 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3026/96 by Ulf Holm (V) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Child abuseDuring the current paedophile and child abuse scandal in Belgium, several newspaper reports have suggested that it was the dismantling of the Belgian legal system and welfare state which enabled the situation to continue for so long without action being taken by society. The tough EMU membership criteria have been one of the factors behind such cuts. In view of Article 34 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which lays down the right of children to protection from all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation for the purposes of prostitution and pornography, will the Commission state whether it has analysed the impact of the EMU criteria on the rights and protection of children?Answer given by Mrs Gradin on behalf of the Commission (19 December 1996)The Commission has not analysed the possible effects of the criteria for economic and monetary union on children's rights and the protection of children in the Member States. It feels that it would be very difficult to make a reliable analysis of that kind.

Official Journal C 072 , 07/03/1997 P. 0087 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3018/96 by Cristiana Muscardini (NI), Spalato Belleré (NI) and Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Research into, and prevention of, asthmaIn view of the fact that the Commission has provided financial support for a major research project into asthma carried out by the EFA (European Federation of Asthma and Allergy Associations) and that the WHO (World Health Organization) has shown, by means of epidemiological studies, that, in terms of prevalence, seriousness and mortality, asthma is nowadays one of the most widespread chronic illnesses, could the Commission put the following proposals to all the Member States:1. that an epidemiological monitoring agency should be set up to study asthma with a view to preventing, in schools and at the workplace, respiratory diseases connected with domestic (active and passive smoking), urban and industrial air pollution;2. that there should be tax relief on healthcare expenditure by patients suffering from obstructive respiratory conditions.Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (5 December 1996)1. The Commission has considered the evidence adduced from the studies mentioned in the question.The Commission is currently preparing a proposal for a decision by the Parliament and the Council adopting a programme on pollution-related diseases in the context of the framework for action in the field of public health which will cover respiratory diseases, in particular asthma. The creation of a respiratory disease-specific epidemiological observatory, or indeed a more general health observatory, is intended to be studied in the context of the Community action programme on health monitoring ((COM(95)449; amended proposal COM(96)222. )).2. Since Community action in the field of public health is based on Article 129 of the EC Treaty, the Commission is not in a position to propose any measures in relation to the organisation or financing of health services.

Official Journal C 105 , 03/04/1997 P. 0041 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3008/96 by Anita Pollack (PSE) to the Commission (11 November 1996)Subject: Genetically modified soya beansWhy has the Commission permitted Monsanto Europe to import a shipment of genetically-modified soya beans into the EU without any special form of labelling whilst being aware that the Novel Foods Directive in which Parliament calls for clear labelling is still in the conciliation procedure?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (20 January 1997)The Commission has issued under Part C of Directive 90/220/EEC ((OJ L 117, 8.5.1990. )) on the deliberate release of genetically modified organisms a favourable Decision 96/281/EC ((OJ L 107, 30.4.1996. )) on the placing on the market of genetically modified soya beans. The Commission decision enabled the United Kingdom authority appointed under the Directive to issue a consent to Monsanto Europe for this product. The consent is restricted to the following uses: 'handling in the environment during import, before and during storage, and before and during its processing to non-viable products'.The Commission did not propose specific labelling mentioning that the product contains a genetically modified organism, because under Directive 90/220/EEC no such labelling can be imposed in the absence of safety reasons. In its proposal for a decision, the Commission indicated that according to the evaluation under Directive 90/220/EEC, there were no safety reasons which justify mentioning on the label that the product was obtained by genetic modification.In the absence of a regulation on novel food ingredients, the applicable legislation is Directive 90/220/EEC which aims to protect human health and the environment when placing on the market products containing genetically modified organisms. It is worth mentioning that the Commission on 10 December 1996 produced a report on the functioning of Directive 90/220/EC. It concluded that the question of labelling should be addressed by the Commission when it produces a proposal to amend the Directive in 1997.Furthermore, according to the Commission decision, Member States can apply national regulations covering the processed products (i.e. edible oil or soya bean meal for animal feed), so long as they are in compliance with Community law.
