Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0122 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-3156/96 by Christian Rovsing (PPE) to the Commission (14 November 1996)Subject: Competition in car ferry traffic between Denmark and Sweden and Denmark and GermanyAccording to press reports, state-owned Danish and Swedish ferry companies are issuing low-price combination tickets for various routes which private companies sailing only one route cannot compete with. Is this in keeping with the EU's rules of competition?Answer given by Mr Van Miert on behalf of the Commission (11 December 1996)It is not in itself contrary to the competition rules for ferry operators to offer combined tickets for different routes, although it is nevertheless possible for such activity to constitute an infringement of the rules, depending on the context. However, considerably more information would be required than is provided by the Honourable Member to enable the Commission to give an opinion on the matter. The Commission has received a complaint concerning the combined tickets mentioned in the question, and is now investigating the matter.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3157/96 by David Thomas (PSE) to the Commission (14 November 1996)Subject: Welfare of calvesDo the current rules on the transportation of live animals lay down a minimum age under which animals may not be transported, or have the Scientific Veterinary Committee recommended an age limit below which a calf should not be separated from its mother?Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (3 December 1996)Directive 91/628/EC on the protection of animals during transport ((OJ L 340, 11.12.1991. )) chapter 1, A, item 1 deals with the categories of domestic solipeds and domestic animals of the bovine, ovine, caprine and porcine species whichmay not be transported. This provides that pregnant animals of these species likely to give birth during carriage or animals having given birth during the preceding 48 hours, and new-born animals (including calves) in which the navel has not completely healed, shall not be considered fit for transport. There are no more specific rules concerning separation of calves from their mothers.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3166/96 by Angela BILLINGHAM to the Commission. Danger of paracetamol intake  


Official Journal C 083 , 14/03/1997 P. 0123 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-3166/96 by Angela Billingham (PSE) to the Commission (14 November 1996)Subject: Danger of paracetamol intakeIn reference to my previous question on the danger of paracetamol (E-1118/96) ((OJ C 322, 28.10.1996, p. 33. )), the Commission did not give me a complete reply. I understand that the Council of Europe has adopted a resolution recommending that a warning should be included in the information provided with paracetamol. However, the Commission does not fully explain why it is failing to take steps to include the antidote methiodine in paracetamol, in order to make it safer and reduce its side-effects.Could the Commission further elaborate on why the Commission is not prepared to take action to require national authorities to include methionine in paracetamol in order to prevent the fatal consequences of this product? Would the Commission be prepared to initiate more research into this issue?Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (2 December 1996)As indicated to the Honourable Member in the answer to her question E-1118/96, ((OJ C 322, 28.10.1996. )) the Commission is not empowered to amend marketing authorizations issued by the Member States, who are also responsible for monitoring medicinal products. Nevertheless, it has asked the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products to carefully monitor the issue of paracetemol toxicity, in particular when large overdoses are taken.It seems, at first sight, that incorporating methionine in all medicinal products containing paracetemol would not be justified, due to the potential adverse effects of methionine itself and to its not contributing to the therapy of patients taking medicinal products correctly.The Commission recently asked the Agency to have experts in the Member States consider whether, in the light of the accidents which have occurred when excessive quantities of paracetemol have been taken, the requirements for its dispensing, labelling or even composition need to be changed.
