WRITTEN QUESTION P-2155/00

by Mark Watts (PSE) to the Commission

(22 June 2000)

Subject: Legislation on safer car fronts for pedestrians and cyclists

There are 9 300 pedestrian and cyclist deaths each year in the European Union, and the Commission(cid:146)s road
safety communication refers to a legislative proposal on safer car fronts for pedestrians and cyclists as one
of its six cost-effective priorities for action. Given that every month of delay in making new car designs
pass the four EEVC pedestrian crash tests means the loss of around 200 lives, mainly involving children
and older road users, will the Commission introduce such legislation without further delay to give EU
citizens the protection the need?

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2156/00

by Claude Moraes (PSE) to the Commission

(22 June 2000)

Subject: Take-up of EEVC pedestrian tests in EU Whole Vehicle Type-Approval

Does the Commission agree with most independent experts that the four EEVC pedestrian tests, which are
the fruits of the 22-year-old EU research and development programme carried out by national research
laboratories with observers from the car industry, represent the state of the art in making the ordinary
fronts of cars less dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists on impact?

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2157/00

by Caroline Lucas (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(22 June 2000)

Subject: Introduction of EU Whole Vehicle Type-Approval legislation on safer car fronts for pedestrians

and cyclists

For some years, the European Union has looked to the European Experimental Vehicles Committee (EEVC),
which brings together national research laboratories on behalf of Member States and observers from the
car industry, to formulate crash tests to improve vehicle safety design. EEVC devised the front and side
impact tests now used in legislation and, in 1993, four sub-system tests for safer car fronts for pedestrians
and cyclists. Given that the Commission indicated that it would not act until it had received the latest
revision of the EEVC tests, which it did in February 1999, why is it taking so long to implement the
Commission(cid:146)s commitment to submit a new proposal for legislation?

2000 concerning a preliminary draft decision relating to case COMP/M.1741 — MCI Worldcom/
Sprint

(2003/C 277/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. The majority of the Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation
constitutes a concentration within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a) of the EC Merger Regulation, and
that the notified operation has a Community dimension. A minority does not agree.

2. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the relevant product markets are:

(a) the market for top-level or universal Internet connectivity;

(b) the market for the provision of packages of customised enhanced and value added corporate

telecommunications services (GTS).

3. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the relevant geographic market

(a)

for the market for top-level or universal Internet connectivity is worldwide;

(b) for the market for provision of GTS is worldwide.

4. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration leads to the creation or
the strengthening of a dominant position in the market for the provision of top-level or universal
Internet connectivity.

5. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission's decision not to pursue further its objection to
the market for the provision of GTS, as it could not be excluded that actual competitors could exercise
enough competitive constraints on the two market leaders.

6. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the proposed undertakings are not appro-
priate to re-establish with enough certainty as to their effects immediate and effective competition on
the relevant market for the provision of top-level Internet connectivity.

7. The majority of the Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified concentration
consisting of the merger between MCI Worldcom and Sprint is declared incompatible with the common
market and the functioning of the EEA Agreement. A minority does not agree.

8. The Advisory Committee recommends the publication of its opinion in the Official

Journal of

the

European Union.

9. The Advisory Committee asks the Commission to take account of all points raised during the discussion

in particular concerning the collecitve dominance issue on the GTS market.
Commission opinion of 22 June 2000 concerning the plan for the decommissioning and deferment period of the Dodewaard Nuclear Power Plant located in the Netherlands in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

COMMISSION OPINION

of 22 June 2000

concerning the plan for the decommissioning and deferment period of the Dodewaard Nuclear
Power Plant located in the Netherlands in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2000/C 186/03)

(Only the Dutch text is authentic)

On 8 November 1999, the European Commission received from the Permanent Representation of the
Netherlands, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, general data relating to the plan for the
decommissioning of the Dodewaard Nuclear Power Plant.

On the basis of these data and clarifications subsequently provided by the Permanent Representation of the
Netherlands, and following consultation with the group of experts, the Commissison has drawn up the
following opinion.

(a) The distance between the plant and the closest Member State border (with Germany) is 25 km.

(b) Under normal operating conditions, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an
exposure to the population in other Member States significant from the point of view of health.

(c) Solid radioactive waste arising from the dismantling operations will be stored or disposed of in a
licensed site, COVRA in the Netherlands, non-radioactive solid waste or residual materials and materials
which are released from regulatory control subject to compliance with clearance levels will be released
for disposal as conventional waste or for reuse or recycling, in all cases complying with the criteria laid
down in the Basic Safety Standards (Directive 96/29/Euratom).

(d) In the event of unplanned discharges of radioactive waste, which may follow an accident of the type
and magnitude considered in the general data, the doses liable to be received by the population in
other Member States would not be significant from the point of view of health.

(e) The general data do not cotain information with regard to the potential radioactive contamination of
foodstuffs grown in the neighbourhood of the facility. The Commission recommends that relevant
foodstuffs be included in the environmental monitoring programme.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the decom-
missioning and deferment period of the Dodewaard Nuclear Power Plant located in the Netherlands, both
in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general
data, is not liable to result in the radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of
the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.
