WRITTEN QUESTION E-2441/97

by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Commission

(16 July 1997)

Subject: EU Milk Availability Scheme

How does the Commission promote and guarantee the Milk Availability Scheme in order that every European
child who has (cid:145)eligible beneficiary status(cid:146) may receive access to the provision of milk?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(5 September 1997)

The Community(cid:146)s main role in the operation of the school milk scheme is to provide for the necessary legal
framework and for appropriate budgetary resources in order to facilitate the application of the scheme throughout
the Community. Whether a child attending a particular school has access to subsidized school milk or not will
ultimately depend on initiatives taken by the school, by milk suppliers or by national or local authorities to apply
the scheme.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2442/97

by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Commission

(16 July 1997)

Subject: EU Milk Availability Scheme

Does the Commission have comparative statistics on the amount of milk provided through the Milk Availability
Scheme in all Member States?

How much more or less milk is provided in countries with privatized distribution systems?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(10 September 1997)

The table below gives the total quantity of milk and milk products distributed under the Community school milk
scheme  during  the  1995/1996  school  year  in  each  Member  State.  These  quantities  are  influenced  by  several
elements, such as the number of eligible pupils, the pro capita consumption of milk in the Member State, the
tradition of drinking milk at school, the practical organisation of the scheme, and specific initiatives taken by
suppliers  or  local  and  school  authorities  to  promote  the  scheme.  Given  this  wide  range  of  influences,  the
Commission is not able to assess the impact of privatised distribution systems on the uptake of school milk.

Official Journal C 082 , 17/03/1998 P. 0087 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2466/97 by Patricia McKenna (V) to the Commission (16 July 1997)Subject: Flights of mixed oxide (MOX) fuel from the Sellafield nuclear complex, BritainThe 12 June issue of Sellafield Newsletter, produced by British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL), states that Carlisle airport in Cumbria has recently been used to transport mixed oxide (MOX) nuclear fuel from the Sellafield complex 'to a customer in Europe'. According to BNFL, 'the transports involved a total of five flights and were all conducted in complete safety'.Was the Commission given prior notice of these flights? Will it give details of any data which BNFL provided on the safety measures covering these flights?What is the Commission's policy on the transport of MOX fuel in general?Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission (15 September 1997)The transport of radioactive material is organised in accordance with the regulations of the International atomic energy agency (IAEA) and implemented, for air transport, by the technical instructions of the International civil aviation organisation (ICAO), in force in all Community Member States.No specific notification had to be made to the Commission concerning air transport of mixed oxide (MOX) fuel.The policy of the Commission is to ensure that the rules applicable to international air transport of radioactive material are respected.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2461/97

by Frank Vanhecke (NI) to the Commission

(16 July 1997)

Subject: Community subsidies

Under budget item B96 B3-4110 (transaction SOC96102780) the local authority of Genk in Belgium received a
subsidy of ECU 97 447 in 1996. The aim of the subsidy was: (cid:145)Elaine › Promoting self-employment and job
creation by ethnic minorities.(cid:146)

Can the Commission say whether the application for this subsidy was made by the Genk municipal council?

Can the Commission provide a copy of the application?

Was the application for the subsidy submitted in English or Dutch?

How many jobs were actually created for migrants by the (cid:145)local authority of Genk(cid:146) with the subsidy requested
specifically for this purpose?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-2450/97 and E-2461/97
given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission

(18 September 1997)

The applications for part-financing for the projects on (cid:145)Promoting self-employment and job creation by ethic
minorities(cid:146)  were  submitted  in  Dutch  by  the  two  cities  of  Antwerp  and  Ghent  and  signed  by  their  respective
mayors. The Commission is unable to provide copies, and the Honourable Member should contact the authorities
from whom the applications originate.

The objective of the projects is not to create jobs for migrants as such, but to develop and implement training
strategies  aimed  at  entrepreneurs  of  immigrant  origin,  to  promote  cooperation  between  such  persons  and
business organisations, and to improve their knowledge of the regulations in force. The impact in terms of job
creation will therefore be indirect, and it will not be possible to measure it until after the end of the projects.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2467/97

by Patricia McKenna (V) to the Commission

(16 July 1997)

Subject: Planned involvement of British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL) in China

British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL) recently signed a (cid:145)letter of intent(cid:146) with the China National Nuclear Corporation
(CNNC).  The  letter  commits  both  parties  to  undertaking  a  feasibility  study  on  using  BNFL-developed
technology to convert enriched uranium into a uranium oxide powder for sale to the Chinese domestic and export
markets.

If the project develops, the result could be a greater amount of transport of nuclear materials around the globe,
with potentially grave consequences for public safety and the environment.

What measures would the Commission be prepared to take about this development?

Answer given by Mr Papoutsis on behalf of the Commission

(4 September 1997)

The potential consequences of a possible agreement between British nuclear fuels Ltd and the China national
nuclear corporation cannot be evaluated at present.
