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.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 916/97 by Mark WATTS to the Commission. Wheel loss accidents from moving commercial vehicles  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0196 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0916/97 by Mark Watts (PSE) to the Commission (12 March 1997)Subject: Wheel loss accidents from moving commercial vehiclesGiven the high incidence of wheel loss accidents from moving commercial vehicles in the UK, can the Commission answer the following:1. Do any EU Member States compile statistics relating to similar accidents?2. Is there any central information gathering unit which compiles records of lost wheel accidents EU-wide?3. What research have EU Member States undertaken, if any, into the issue of lost wheels?4. Have any EU Member States commissioned research into the products on the market which claim to prevent wheel loss?Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (17 April 1997)To date, the problem of heavy commercial vehicle wheel loss has only been recognised in the United Kingdom where the problem is associated with inadequate or 'over zealous' maintenance (wheel nut over-tightening with automatic air guns).The United Kingdom is therefore the only Member State that has compiled statistics on the subject of wheel loss and associated fatal accidents. Figures given in the House of Commons reply by Mr John Bowis to an oral question on 12 December 1996 show that some five or six fatal accidents a year involve wheel detachment. The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has been focusing on the problem and reported its findings to the United Kingdom's Department of Transport last month.The United Kingdom Department of Transport and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) sponsored a research programme by Essex University and the Motor industry's research association (MIRA). This concluded that the problem was more related to maintenance than to design. It recommended that wheels when replaced (during routine maintenance such as tyre replacement) be initially tightened to the prescribed torque and then retensioned after thirty minutes or after 40 to 80 kilometers. The research has led to a British standard and the maintenance procedure is the subject of a code of practice for the selection and care of commercial vehicle wheels.The Department of Transport recently raised the issue within the relevant United Nation's economic commission for Europe (UN-ECE) WP29 technical working group with the aim of establishing the extent of the problem in Europe and world-wide. As yet there has been no specific feedback except that those countries that recognised that there is a wheel loss problem also concluded that it was the result of inadequate maintenance or axle over load.

Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0197 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0922/97 by Carmen Díez de Rivera Icaza (PSE) to the Commission (12 March 1997)Subject: Vaccine against meningitis and BSECan the Commission say whether it is true that the recent unexplained withdrawal from the Greek and Italian market of a particular make of vaccine against meningitis is linked to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in that prions had been detected in the vaccine concerned?Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (28 April 1997)The Italian withdrawal of authorization to market the vaccines the Honourable Member refers to is not linked to any detection of prions (the agents thought to be responsible for bovine spongiform encephalopathy - BSE). The Italian authorities have informed the Commission that the sole reason for the withdrawal was the presence of Type I and II material of bovine origin (according to the tissue classification used by the World Health Organization to indicate potential infectiosity).Although this material came from areas claimed to be BSE-free (the United States), the Italian authorities have decided to work on the precautionary principle not of preventive measures based on the notion of 'clear areas' but of an outright ban on 'high-risk' bovine material, regardless of origin, in the manufacture of medicinal products.The Commission is unaware of similar vaccine withdrawals in Greece.
