WRITTEN QUESTION No. 627/98 by Christian CABROL to the Council. Preventing household fires  


Official Journal C 323 , 21/10/1998 P. 0056 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0627/98 by Christian Cabrol (UPE) to the Council (16 March 1998)Subject: Preventing household firesEvery two minutes, on French territory alone, a fire breaks out in a private household; the annual total of such outbreaks is 250 000, 77 000 of which entail calling in the fire brigade. Household fires are responsible for 90% of fire accident fatalities; and fire is the second largest cause of accidental deaths amongst the under-fives. 70% of household fires occur between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and a recent inquiry has shown that 88% of the French population believe that it would be 'a good idea' to instal fire detectors in all houses. Only 2% of French households are so equipped.Does the Council1. have reliable data for all the Member States about accidents caused by household fires, detailing the circumstances, causes, victims and social costs? Has the Council already had this data analysed on a country-by-country basis, so as to compare the impact of different types of national legislation on the prevention of such accidents?2. not believe that it would be useful and indeed essential to study this issue in depth at Union level, and, following such a study, is the Council prepared to put forward appropriate legislation on the prevention of household fires - with all the human tragedy and major cost that they represent in terms of treating the victims and reimbursing the material losses sustained - by making it obligatory, for example, to instal smoke detectors in all homes, as is done in other parts of the world?Answer (13/14 July 1998)The Council does not have detailed figures on accidents caused by household fires for all the countries of the Union.The Council does not doubt that particular attention should be paid to this type of risk, but to date it has not received a specific Commission proposal. It would, however, remind the Honourable Member that:- the proposal for a Decision establishing a general framework for Community activities in favour of consumers contains a specific section on the health and safety of consumers reproducing part of the Community's European Home and Leisure Accident Surveillance System (Ehlass);- the Commission, in its amended proposal concerning a Decision on an accident prevention programme, adopted the approach taken by the European Parliament in its Opinion directed towards incorporating Ehlass in that programme.Both proposals are currently being examined by the Council.
