Different aspects of scrapie and BSE in sheep are currently addressed in seven different research projects
supported by the Community in the framework of the Commission(cid:146)s Research Action Plan on TSE. A
summary of these projects can be found on the Community web-site (2). Following the request of the
Research Council in November 2000, a group of experts has now been established to help co-ordinate TSE
research work in Europe. Finally, the Commission is currently evaluating a number of new tests for BSE
which include tests that might help distinguish between BSE and scrapie.

The Scientific Steering Committee considered the implications of a scientific publication on the transmis-
sion of BSE by blood transfusion in sheep in its opinion of 26/27 October 2000. In that opinion, it was
considered that, as regards the safety of ovine blood, existing scientific opinions already anticipated the
risks resulting from the possible presence of low levels of TSE infectivity in blood.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3800/00

by Michl Ebner (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(7 December 2000)

Subject: Eco-points system in Austria

There have been repeated complaints that local authorities are not adequately monitoring implementation
of the the eco-points regulation applicable in Tyrol and that there are frequent infringements. Yet in fact
the Tirol gendarmerie checks lorries for up to 16 hours a day at the Kundl checkpoint alone, so that there
have already been 32 810 inspections in the year to October, with prosecutions in the case of 1 046
vehicles (3,18 %).

However, the legal basis is posing major difficulties for these inspections. For instance only the lorry driver,
and not the registered owner, can be fined; and tax-evading drivers recorded electronically cannot be
penalised after the event, as one of the requirements for charging a fine is that the vehicle concerned
actually pulls up.

Should the Commission not consider amending the relevant EU regulation, so that its legal basis permits
more efficient inspection procedures?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(8 February 2001)

The Commission is concerned about the number of transit journeys being made through Austria by lorries
without ecopoints and is currently considering ways of amending the Community Regulations on the
operation of the ecopoint system in such a way as to deter this practice, without disproportionate
hindrance to the operation of the single market.

On the question of sanctions against hauliers the Honourable Member should note that this is currently a
matter of national law. The Court of Justice has ruled that sanctions imposed by Member States should be
effective, dissuasive and proportionate.
