WRITTEN QUESTION P-1465/98

by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Commission

(7 May 1998)

Subject: Mochovce

How does the Commission explain the fact that, in spite of the conclusions of Walkdown 1 (1995), Slovakia is
planning to put the Mochovce nuclear power station into operation in July 1998?

Which of the 201 measures identified by Walkdown 1 and Riskaudit does the Commission consider essential in
order to guarantee the safety of the people of Europe, and is the potential threat posed by this nuclear power
station greater than that represented by others in the EU?

Will  the  Commission  provide  Parliament  with  a  report  on  the  safety  situation  of  nuclear  power  stations  in
Slovakia well in advance of the planned opening date of Mochovce? What would be the effects on the EU area of
a serious accident at the Mochovce power station?

What was the outcome of the visit of the ad hoc delegation to Slovakia called for by the European Parliament on
16 February 1995?

Does the Commission know how and when the various requirements of the risk audit study are to be fulfilled?

Will the Commission call on Slovakia to remedy the safety problems (identified by the IAEA, Riskaudit and
Walkdown 1 + 2) and does the Commission consider that failure to meet these requirements would stand in the
way of granting further EU financial aid to Slovakia and lessen its chances of being accepted as an EU member?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1487/98

by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Commission

(13 May 1998)

Subject: Mochovce

Is  the  Commission  aware  that  the  (cid:145)proof(cid:146)  of  the  efficacy  of  confinement  as  a  substitute  for  Western-style
containment  at  the  Mochovce  nuclear  power  station  is  based  solely  on  calculations  and  tests  which  take
insufficient account of the real facts about the installation, particularly its structural and operational state?

The fact that the real conditions differ significantly from the ideal ones can be clearly seen from the example of
the  first  nuclear  power  station  location  in  Jaslovske  Bouhunice.  Does  the  Commission  intend  to  intend  to
investigate this matter?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1488/98

by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Commission

(13 May 1998)

Subject: Mochovce

Is the Commission aware that in the former Czechoslovakia the highest executive posts in the nuclear industry
were occupied by leading members of the Communist Party(cid:146)s civil service and people(cid:146)s militia? Is it also aware
that the same people, who still occupy high executive posts (e.g. at Skoda), are now deliberately attempting to
leave the population in ignorance of the dangers of the nuclear power station and irresponsibly concealing the
seriousness of the situation?

Answer given by Mr Monti on behalf of the Commission

(15 July 1998)

The free movement of people, goods, services and capital constitute the fundamental freedoms established in the
EC Treaty. The Commission has always acted to ensure that the four fundamental freedoms are honoured, and
obstacles and barriers to free circulation are dismantled.

During the informal meeting of the ministers of Economy and Finance held at York on 20-22 March 1998 a
number of subjects were on the agenda and discussed by the participants. However, the Commission is unaware
of any agreements made at York providing that financial transfers between Member States can no longer be
carried out.

Besides, the Commission has repeatedly underlined its commitment to ensure free movement of capital and its
firm opposition to any measures which would limit this basic freedom of the Treaty.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1460/98

by Umberto Bossi (NI) to the Commission

(13 May 1998)

Subject: Harmonization of the permitted maximum levels of DDT in certain fish species

My previous questions P-0385/97 (1) and P-0906/97 (2) raised the problem of the permitted levels of contaminants
(such as DDT) in fish species and the maximum levels laid down by the Member States.

Can the Commission indicate whether procedures have been set in motion for the harmonization of the limits
permitted in the various Member States?

Can the Commission update the list of Member States which have adopted legislation on the permitted maximum
quantities of the organochlorine insecticide known as DDT found in some fish species ( and say to what extent
this has been done)?

(1) OJ C 217, 17.7.1997, p. 170.
(2) OJ C 45, 10.2.1998, p. 9.

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(2 July 1998)

The situation in the various Member States with regard to legislation relating to maximum pesticide residue levels
for dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) remains unchanged.

The Commission has not set in motion procedures for the harmonisation of the limits permitted in the various
Member States.

A detailed overview (Member State by Member State), based on updated information from the Member States is
sent direct to the Honourable Member and Parliament(cid:146)s Secretariat.
