WRITTEN QUESTION E-3765/97

by Cristiana Muscardini (NI), Gastone Parigi (NI)
and Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission

(21 November 1997)

Subject: Plight of earthquake victims

Following  the  tragic  succession  of  earthquakes  in  central  Italy,  the  Union  has  promised  to  provide  funds,
although the amount earmarked is insufficient. Will the Commission therefore say when the money can be used?
Who is to blame for the delays in building prefabricated houses for the earthquake victims still living in the open
air and hence for the failure to respect the human rights so constantly invoked by the Community?

Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission

(15 January 1998)

The Commission renews its expression of sympathy for the victims of the earthquakes which devastated central
Italy in the autumn of 1997. The Commission is aware of the extent of the damage suffered by European citizens
in these regions and the huge financial losses occasioned by the earthquakes.

The Commission would remind the Honourable Member that in the 1997 budget there is no appropriation under
the heading (B4-3400) for emergency aid for disaster victims in the Community enabling solidarity measures to
be implemented. As matters stand, this form of action, which brings aid rapidly to the most seriously affected
victims, will disappear from the budget in 1998.

The Commission has confirmed to the Italian authorities that it is ready to launch the necessary procedures in the
partnership framework to include specific reconstruction measures in the single programming documents under
Objective 5(b) for these regions.

Subject: EU funding of humane trap testing

In accordance with Annex I, Part IV of the proposed Agreement on international humane trapping standards
between  the  European  Community.  Canada  and  the  Russian  Federation  (97/C  207/11) (1),  the  European

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3787/97 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Installation of Canadian nuclear reactors in Turkey  


Official Journal C 223 , 17/07/1998 P. 0022 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3787/97 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (26 November 1997)Subject: Installation of Canadian nuclear reactors in TurkeyCanada's Council of Ministers has authorized a $ 1.07 billion loan to fund the sale of two nuclear reactors to Turkey. This loan will come from the state fund for the promotion of exports, the Export Development Co., which is expected to cover the loan from its own resources if Turkey declares itself unable to do so itself.The Canadian opposition has reacted by condemning the fact that this sale has circumvented the environmental controls with which the relevant government service of Canada has been entrusted; it has also been pointed out that nuclear reactors of the same type which are located in Ontario are being closed down one after the other.Will the Commission state its official views on this matter and say whether it has been informed by the Turkish authorities of plans to construct these reactors and what action it intends to take to protect the population and the natural environment of a Member State of the European Union, namely Greece, which is clearly in very great danger owing to the planned installation of these reactors in Turkey?Answer given by Mr Van den Broek on behalf of the Commission (20 January 1998)The Honourable Member is referred to the Commission's answer to his Written Question E-1078/97 ((OJ C 367, 4.12.1997. )).Information obtained by the Commission from other sources shows that the Akkuyu site was selected by the Turkish authorities following extensive studies, focusing on seismic, geological and environmental aspects in particular, by specialised departments of several Turkish universities.The international bidding procedure held by the Turkish authorities for the Akkuyu nuclear power station closed on 15 October. Turkey is now in the process of examining the tenders from various consortiums, including the one of which Atomic Energy of Canada Limited is a member. The Turkish Energy Ministry has made known that the final decision on selection should be reached in April and that generation is due to begin in 2006.

Will the Commission pass on the information referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of its answer of 28 January 1997?

Will  it  state  whether,  in  the  light  of  this  new  information,  it  considers  that  the  directives  referred  to  in  the
previous written question have been infringed and whether these laser guns have been used in other countries in
breach of the Community directives?

(2)  OJ L 103, 25.4.1979, p.1.

Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission

(16 December 1997)

In its reply to the earlier Written Question No 3175/96 by the Honourable Member and Mr Ripa di Meana on the
same  subject,  the  Commission  pointed  out  that,  in  accordance  with  Article  9  of  Council  Directive
79/409/EEC (1), a report was due from the Italian authorities.

This report, covering the period 1995-1996, was finally submitted at the end of May 1997 and its analysis has
been  recently  completed.  The  report  does  not  mention  the  action  cited  by  the  Honourable  Member.  For  this
reason, the Commission will ask the Italian authorities for complementary information.

The information supplied by the Member States to the Commission does not include any reports of the use of
laser guns not in conformity with the provisions of Directive 79/409/EEC.

If employees of the Modena Consorzio de solidarieta‘ sociale have been required to use dangerous equipment
such as laser guns without adequate protection, this should be brought to the attention of the Italian authority
responsible  for  control  and  supervision,  as  provided  for  in  Article  4(2)  of  Council  Directive  89/391/EEC  of
12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at
work (2), namely the Labour Inspectorate for the area concerned.

by Cristiana Muscardini (NI) to the Commission

(26 November 1997)

Subject: Equivalence of qualifications

In view of the fact that EU borders were opened in 1993 for qualifications and that some countries, particularly
Italy, award qualifications on completion of studies which are not recognised in other EU Member States, will the
Commission  state  whether  or  not  it  intends  to  request  the  Member  States  to  bring  about  the  equivalence  of
qualifications so that mobility of labour can finally be achieved in Europe?

Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission

C 174/129

Because of the higher refund level for pure-bred breeding animals for heifers and cows compared with the lower
refund level for other female live animals, it is necessary to ensure through certain control measures that the
exported animals will not be slaughtered directly at arrival in the third country of destination.

The WTO agreement gives the possibility to differentiate the refund level. There is a higher refund level for
3.
pure-bred breeding animals than for cattle for slaughter. There is therefore no reason to ask for changes in the
rules at the next trade round.

(26 November 1997)

Subject: Implementation of Council Proposal 97/C 207/11 for an Agreement on international humane trapping

standards between the European Community, Canada and the Russian Federation

If, as the Commission prefers, the Council decides to reject the opinion of the European Parliament and votes
instead to conclude the proposed Agreement with Canada and the Russian Federation, how does the Commission
propose to ensure that the terms of the Agreement will be implemented within the European Union?

In particular, does the Commission plan to bring forward a proposal for either a Directive or a Regulation and if
so, what will be the proposed legal basis?

Answer given by Sir Leon Brittan on behalf of the Commission

(21 January 1998)

The  Commission  would  point  out  to  the  Honourable  Member  that  the  Agreement  on  international  humane
trappings  standards  between  the  European  Community,  Canada  and  the  Russian  Federation  has  not  yet  been
ratified.

Even if the matter is already under consideration the Commission cannot make a formal statement on these issues
until the Agreement has been formally concluded by the Council. Parliament will be informed through the usual
channels if any proposal for incorporating this Agreement into Community law is adopted by the Commission.
