WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1041/97 by Umberto BOSSI to the Commission. Waiting list for organ transplants  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0221 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1041/97 by Umberto Bossi (NI) to the Commission (12 March 1997)Subject: Waiting list for organ transplantsThe Italian Transplant Council (a body within the Higher Institute of Health) recently decided to compile a national list of patients awaiting an organ transplant; the list should already have entered into force, but is not yet active.Can the Commission supply up-to-date estimates of the number of persons (broken down by Member State) now awaiting an organ transplant?To enable the hospitals specializing in organ transplants to coordinate their activities as closely as possible and, above all, to ensure that delays are reduced to a minimum for patients awaiting organs (especially children, who every day have to live in fear and suffer physical and emotional distress), does not the Commission believe that it would be desirable to introduce a Europe-wide waiting list?What provisions exist to guarantee coordination among the hospitals authorized to perform transplants in the different Member States and avert de facto discrimination on account of poor communication between hospitals?What international agreements regulate the entry of organs for transplant imported into Europe from third countries?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (14 April 1997)The Commission does not have information relating to the number of European citizens currently awaiting an organ transplant.Although aware of the medical, social and ethical issues involved in organ donation and transplants, the Commission has no plans for legislative action to establish an European waiting list.There are no legal provisions concerning the co-ordination of the transplantation centres of the different Member States. However, the Commission cooperates with the Council of Europe in efforts to improve information and co-ordination in this field.The Community has not concluded any international agreement concerning the entry into the Community of organs for transplanting from third countries.

At that time it was decided that verifications as to the precise nature and circumstances of what occured should firstly be sought from reliable third parties and that, additionally, a fact-finding mission by Community diplomats should be considered before any direct approach was made to the Pakistani authorities. These verifications continue.

2.
The  Commission  confirms  the  content  of  its  answer  to  Written  Question  P-3437/96  by  Mr  Bontempi
concerning representation under the Staff Regulations. The same is true as regards trade union representation.

On  expiry  of  their  term  of  office,  in  one  case  on  the  Central  Staff  Committee  in  the  other  in  the  political
secretariat  of  a  trade  union/staff  association,  the  two  officials  in  question  were  reassigned  to  their  original
directorates-general.

3.
The appointment of the Head of Division referred to by the Honourable Member was made in accordance
with the relevant rules of the Staff Regulations after publication of the post and examination of applications by
the Consultative Committee on Appointments made up of directors-general of the Commission.

There  is  no  incompatibility  between  having  been  on  secondment  and  appointment  to  a  management  post.
Secondment is an administrative position during which an official can perfectly well acquire experience and
know-how serving to increase his or her capacity to manage an administrative unit.

The Commission is delighted that some of its Category B officials progress to Category A and then, in the light of
their aptitudes and merits, are entrusted with management responsibilities.

On 23 January 1997 the Commission adopted the Decision only after the scientific basis of its original proposal
had  been  validated  by  the  scientific  committees  for  food,  animal  nutrition  and  pesticides.  These  committees
examined in depth the particular aspects that were causing concern to certain Member States and in December
1996 delivered their opinions unanimously. All three committees confirmed that there was no reason to believe
that  there  would  be  any  adverse  effects  on  human  health  and  the  environment  associated  with  the  genetic
modification  in  maize.  None  of  the  scientific  committees  that  examined  the  dossier  and  all  the  information
available found any scientific evidence of long term risks for human health and the environment from the genes
introduced in maize. The opinions of the three scientific committees were officially transmitted to the Parliament
on 20 February 1997 and they will be published by the Commission.

Subject: Permitted maximum quantity of residues in certain fish species: situation in the various Member States

In the light of the somewhat vague answer to my Written Question P-0385/97 (1), will the Commission now say
which  Member  States  have  imposed  maximum  limits  on  the  levels  of  the  organochlorine  antiparasitic  agent
known as DDT present in certain fish species? What is the maximum permitted concentration of DDT in each
Member State?

(1)  OJ C 217, 17.7.1997, p. 170.

Supplementary answer
given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(1 July 1997)

In reply to the question posed by the Honourable Member concerning the fixing of statutory maximum pesticide
residue levels (MRLs) for Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in certain types of fish, the Commission can
report that for the majority of Member States, no national MRLs are fixed for DDT.

For the minority of Member States which do fix MRLs for DDT in fish, the term (cid:145)fish(cid:146) applies to fresh and salt
water species.

A detailed overview (Member State by Member State) is sent to the Honourable Member and to the Secretariat
general of the Parliament.
