The same Directive also lays down a durability requirement. This however only applies to new or renovated
buildings.

Regarding the existing building stock, there is no European renovation programme for large-scale restoration.
Such operations must be implemented on a national level.

In terms of research, in the framework of the programme on industrial and material technologies (Brite Euram) in
the  Fourth  Framework  Programme  for  Research  and  Development,  several  projects  which  indirectly  help  to
prevent the risk of accidents arising from dilapidated or unsafe buildings have been financed.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3525/97

by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Commission

(12 November 1997)

Subject: Community participation in the Uralides project

The objective of the international Uralides project, which currently involves 39 scientific institutions from all
over the world (24 from Europe, 1 from the United States and 14 from Russia), is to make a detailed study of the
Urals, the mountain chain which separates Europe and Asia, which is considered one of the richest mountain
systems in the world in terms of deposits of all kinds and a potential source of energy and other resources. The
project was organized as a result of the Europrobe initiative for research into earth sciences launched by the
European Science Foundation.

What is the Commission(cid:146)s position on the Uralides international project, the possibility that it might participate
in the project and the scale of any possible financial contribution?

Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission

(14 December 1997)

The  Commission  is  fully  aware  of  the  international  significance  and  importance,  both  from  a  scientific  and
economic point of view, of the Uralides project. Under the current 4th framework programme of research and
technological development (Decision No 1110/94/EC) (1), Community support for this project is given through
INTAS, the International association for the promotion of cooperation with scientists from the former Soviet
Union.

The current plans for the next 5th framework programme (2) foresee a continuation of support for joint research
projects and concerted actions with Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union in a number of areas,
including energy and environment.

Subject: Warning on Swedish snuff

Research  shows  unequivocally  that  Link  whatever  can  be  established  between  the  use  of  Swedish  snuff  and
cancer.  Despite  this  fact,  EU  Directive  92/41/EEC (1)  stipulates  that  snuff  packets  must  be  marked  with  the

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3524/97 by Carlos ROBLES PIQUER to the Commission. Community programme to eliminate the risks associated with ruined buildings  


Official Journal C 174 , 08/06/1998 P. 0072 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3524/97 by Carlos Robles Piquer (PPE) to the Commission (12 November 1997)Subject: Community programme to eliminate the risks associated with ruined buildingsIn the light of the constant accidents, many of them fatal, caused by the collapse of delapidated buildings, of which there are many thousands across the whole of the European Union, consideration should be given to drawing up a joint action to eliminate the permanent risk of death in which whole families live and many people work, and which are even faced by casual passers-by.Most of these buildings are situated in the historic centres of many of our cities, and restoration programmes have been unable to achieve a significant reduction in the number of unsafe houses.Can the Commission say whether it would be possible to draw up a large-scale action throughout the territory of the Union in order to eliminate the risks associated with dilapidated buildings in Community towns and cities, preferably by replacing all those sections which cannot or need not be preserved? Would it be possible to fund a research programme on the best preservation and restoration techniques?Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (7 January 1998)We of course share the Honourable Member's concern about the risks associated with collapsing buildings or parts of buildings due to lack of maintenance, inspection or checks.On a Community level, rules relating to construction works take this aspect into account, as Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products ((OJ L 40, 11.2.1989. )) stipulates that only products for construction works that satisfy the stability and safety requirements can be used.The same Directive also lays down a durability requirement. This however only applies to new or renovated buildings.Regarding the existing building stock, there is no European renovation programme for large-scale restoration. Such operations must be implemented on a national level.In terms of research, in the framework of the programme on industrial and material technologies (Brite Euram) in the Fourth Framework Programme for Research and Development, several projects which indirectly help to prevent the risk of accidents arising from dilapidated or unsafe buildings have been financed.
