WRITTEN QUESTION E-1227/98

by Marie-Paule Kestelijn-Sierens (ELDR) to the Commission

(29 April 1998)

Subject: Health impact of kerosene

Does the Commission have accurate data on the harmful effect of kerosene? If so, to what extent is it harmful? Is
it true that kerosene, one ingredient of which is benzene, may cause leukaemia and cancer of the respiratory
tract? Is the data which the Commission possesses in this connection generally available?

Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission

(22 June 1998)

The Iuclid database of the Commission contains toxicological data on kerosene and these data are available to the
public.

Kerosene, a petroleum fraction with benzene as one of its components (less than 5%), has until now not been
classified  as  to  its  carcinogenicity  to  humans  ((cid:145)Monographs  on  the  Evaluation  of  Carcinogenic  Risks  to
Humans(cid:146),  International  agency  for  research  on  cancer).  There  is  limited  evidence  for  the  carcinogenicity  in
experimental animals (e.g. skin tumours in mice). Recent epidemiological studies on the potential carcinogenic
effects of kerosene (e.g. lung cancer) did not provide conclusive results.

The programme on biomedical and health research (Biomed 2) is supporting a project on (cid:145)Exposure to low levels
of benzene, interindividual biological variability and cancer risks(cid:146), which is coordinated by the National Cancer
Research Institute in Genoa and will provide results in 2001.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1241/98 by Esko SEPPÄNEN to the Commission. Saving the cultural heritage of Europe  


Official Journal C 031 , 05/02/1999 P. 0026 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-1241/98by Esko Seppänen (GUE/NGL) to the Commission(9 April 1998)Subject: Saving the cultural heritage of EuropeIt has been reported (The European, 30.3.1998) that "no-holds-barred" fighting is coming to Europe. It is banned in more than 40 American states but it is taking a grip on Europe, where it is spreading to the countries of the former Soviet Union, but also to Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands.It is not sport. It involves, even killing, one's opponent. It is an uncivilized, brutal and inhuman business, which is undermining Europe's cultural heritage.Is the Commission planning any measures to counter this threat to our culture?Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission(8 May 1998)The Commission has also learned of this type of fighting from the press.Without prejudice to any judicial cooperation within the meaning of Title VI of the Treaty on European Union (cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs), local and national authorities are responsible for granting authorisation for such events. Thus, it is for the Council, as part of cooperation within the meaning of the said Title VI, to deal with the problems arising from such activities.Where persons engaging in this activity could be considered as "workers" within the meaning of labour law, Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers(1) and Council Directive 94/33/EC of 22 June 1994 on the protection of young people at work(2) could be applicable.Even so, the Commission shares the opinion of the Honourable Member. "No-holds-barred" fighting is not part of Europe's cultural and sporting traditions. It is an outstanding example of the dangers which threaten sport and television when making a profit is the sole consideration.(1) OJ L 183, 29.6.1989.(2) OJ L 216, 20.8.1994.
