WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1534/98 by Panayotis LAMBRIAS to the Commission. Polluted ground water in the Attica region  


Official Journal C 386 , 11/12/1998 P. 0143 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1534/98by Panayotis Lambrias (PPE) to the Commission(18 May 1998)Subject: Polluted ground water in the Attica regionA study carried out by the Athens Polytechnic for the Ministry of the Environment, Regional Planning and Public Works concludes that the ground water in Attica is, to a considerable extent, polluted and unfit for any use. The study has revealed the lack of a policy for the sustainable management of water. As an indication, it points out that only 345 of the 5 000 wells have tariffs for irrigation, while overuse causes water levels to fall substantially, seawater infiltrates into aquifers and in some areas there is a risk of landslides.What measures will the Commission take to ensure that the Greek authorities comply with Community legislation on water and apply the principle of sustainable management and development in the water industry?Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission(15 June 1998)Over-abstraction of groundwater causing intrusion of seawater and permanent depletion is increasingly becoming a problem across the Community.In order to ensure coherence in Community water legislation and to meet the above mentioned environmental challenges, the Commission presented in February 1997 a proposal for a Framework Directive on water designed to prevent further deterioration and to protect and enhance the water quality and quantity of aquatic ecosystems and groundwaters(1).The principle of the proposal is for water policy to focus on water as it flows naturally through river basins towards the sea, taking into account natural interaction between surface waters and groundwaters in respect of quantitative as well as qualitative aspects.The proposal establishes a Community framework for protection of waters within a common approach with common objectives and principles and basic measures. It introduces a common principle for charging full cost recovery prices for services provided for water uses. Management plans are required for all river basins with coordinated programmes of measures to ensure good status of waters by 2010, including systematic monitoring of the effect of such programmes. Programmes of measures require that controls be set on abstraction and impoundment of water.The water framework directive will, once adopted, ensure that Community water legislation is appropriately up-dated, firmly basing Community water policy on a principle of sustainable use with a long-term perspective for the 21st century.(1) OJ C 184, 17.6.1997 as amended by OJ C 16, 20.1.1998 and OJ C 108, 7.4.1998.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1539/98 by Phillip WHITEHEAD to the Commission. Food labelling

C 402/141

Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behaf of the Commission

(10 June 1998)

The Commission(cid:146)s CARE database of European accident statistics contains information on road accidents

1.
where injuries were reported.

Figures from the CARE database show that in 1995 there were 87 361 accidents with injuries where lorries over
3.5 tons were involved. It should be noted that this provisional figure is for 14 Member States excluding Finland
as the Commission has not yet received statistics from that Member State for this category of accident.

The Commission is not in a position to examine the effect of all national or local actions aimed at reducing

2.
road accidents of lorries.

As far as Community legislation is concerned, the introduction of the speed limiter, requirements for front
underrun protection, sideguards, spray suppressors,
tachographs, roadworthiness tests and type approval
standards are examples of measures aimed at reducing accidents. The effects of these separate measures, is
however, very difficult to estimate.

The Dutch law to prohibit overtaking on certain stretches is a consequence of the introduction of the speed limiter
which affects the speed at which lorries can overtake, with the associated risk of traffic flows being blocked.
The reported results in terms of traffic fluidity are positive.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1539/98

by Phillip Whitehead (PSE) to the Commission

(18 May 1998)

Subject: Food labelling

Does the Commission still intend to undertake a comprehensive review of food labelling?

If so, when will the result be available?

Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission

(23 June 1998)

As promised at the time of the adoption of the last amendment (1) of Council Directive 79/112/EEC of
18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation
and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (2), the procedure of codification of this Directive
has been launched to make it more comprehensible to its users. A proposal for a codified text should reach the
Parliament and the Council at the end of this year.

Moreover, the Commission is currently examining the need to amend Directive 79/112/EEC to ensure better
information for people who suffer from food allergy.

Finally, the Commission, within the framework of the follow-up of the green paper on food legislation (3), will
examine the need for and the feasibility of, a simplification of Community legislation on labelling of foodstuffs to
regroup as much as possible all labelling provisions.
