Directive  84/467/Euratom (1)),  it  is  the  responsibility  of  the  Member  States  to  issue  the  authorizations  in
question. The Commission would be required to intervene only if it had received information indicating that a
Member State was failing to respect the requirements set out in these standards. This position will not change
with the implementation of the new basic safety standards Directive 96/29/Euratom (2), which Member States
will require to ensure by May 2000.

Therefore no information has been requested or received from the British authorities on this matter. Equally, the
Commission has no basis for seeking to set up an independent assessment.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3166/97

by Caroline Jackson (PPE) to the Commission

(9 October 1997)

Subject: Definition of liquid waste in context of proposed Landfill Directive

In the context of the Commission(cid:146)s proposal for a Landfill Directive (COM(97) 105), can the Commission state
how it defines the term (cid:145)liquid waste(cid:146)? How does the Commission propose to distinguish between (cid:145)liquid waste(cid:146)
and (cid:145)sludge(cid:146)?

Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission

(29 October 1997)

Article 2 of the Commission proposal for a Council directive on the landfill of waste states that (cid:145)liquid waste shall
mean any waste in liquid form including waste waters but excluding sludge(cid:146).

The Commission has not included a specific definition of sludge in the landfill proposal as sludge is defined in
Directive 86/278/EEC of 12 June 1986 on the protection of the environment, and in particular of the soil, when
sewage sludge is used in agriculture (1) which states that (cid:145)sludge(cid:146) means:

› 

› 

› 

residual sludge from sewage plants treating domestic or urban waste waters and from other sewage plants
treating waste waters of a composition similar to domestic and urban waste waters;

residual sludge from septic tanks and other similar installations for the treatment of sewage;

residual sludge from sewage plants other than those referred to above.

At present, the Commission therefore proposes to distinguish between liquid waste and sludge according to the
above mentioned definitions.

Subject: Authorization to market plant-health products

In the light of the Court ruling delivered on 12 November 1996 in Case C-201/94 concerning pharmaceutical
products, where the competent authority of a Member State has evidence that a plant-health product which has
marketing authorization in another Member State and a plant-health product for which it has itself already issued
a marketing authorization are manufactured by the same company or by licensees of that company, and where the
two  plant-health  products,  while  not  being  identical  in  every  way,  have  nevertheless  been  manufactured  in
accordance with the same formula, using the same active ingredient, and have the same physical and chemical
effects,  must  the  competent  authority  in  question,  where  there  are  no  counter-considerations  relating  to  the
effective  protection  of  human  life  and  health,  grant  a  marketing  authorization  to  the  imported  plant-health
product?

The Commission was informed on 19 June that Greece had adopted Presidential Decree No 133 (1) transposing
the Directive in question. This Decree was subsequently amended by Presidential Decree No 164/97 (2).

Following the transposal of the Directive into Greek law, the infringement proceedings initiated against Greece

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3254/97

by Carmen D(cid:14)·ez de Rivera Icaza (PSE) to the Commission

(20 October 1997)

Subject: Hold-up in legislation to reduce noise

Last June plenary unanimously adopted a resolution calling on the Commission to submit, by the end of this year,
a framework directive on environmental noise and a global directive on machinery used in the open air.

Can the Commission say whether it intends to comply with this request?

Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission

(19 November 1997)

Further  to  the  results  of  the  consultation  organised  by  the  Commission  on  the  green  paper  (cid:145)Future  Noise
Policy(cid:146) (1), and in particular to the resolution adopted by the Parliament, the Commission has started preparation
of the framework directive on environmental noise. At the present stage, it appears that several topics are not
sufficiently  well  defined  and  need  further  technical  and  scientific  discussions  to  prepare  a  soundly  based
proposal. This preparatory work is foreseen for 1998 and the proposal is scheduled for the beginning of 1999.

As regards the framework directive on noise emission by equipment used outdoors, adoption by the Commission
is foreseen for the end of this year.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3256/97

by Riccardo Garosci (UPE) to the Commission

(9 October 1997)

Subject: Increase in VAT rates in Italy

What  position  is  the  Commission  adopting  and  what,  if  any,  steps  does  it  intend  to  take  vis-a‘-vis the Italian
Government,  which  recently  increased  the  rates  of  VAT,  in  blatant  contrast  with  the  EU  guidelines  on
harmonizing tax rates?

In particular the Italian motor vehicle industry, which is so important as a source of jobs, would be helped if the
VAT on cars purchased by companies were deductible.
