Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(30 January 2001)

The Commission has received documents prepared by a team of Union forensic experts, under Joint Action
CFSP/98/736.

The full report has been delivered to the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY), in
the Hague. It will not be made public, in order not to interfere with the ICTY(cid:146)s ongoing investigations.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-4041/00

by Michael Cashman (PSE) to the Commission

(20 December 2000)

Subject: Charter of Fundamental Rights/Electromagnetic fields

Bearing in mind the (cid:145)precautionary principle(cid:146) and Article 24 of the Draft Charter of Fundamental Rights,
which reads:

1. Children shall have the right to such protection and care as is necessary for their well being.

2.

In all actions relating to children, whether taken by public authorities or private institutions, the
child(cid:146)s best interest must be a primary consideration.

Can the Commission indicate whether there are any plans to halt the Europe-wide construction of mobile
telephone masts, since it remains unclear to what extent the proximity of mobile telephone masts causes
serious health risks, especially for children?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(5 February 2001)

The Council adopted on the 12 July 1999 Recommendation 1999/519/EC limiting the exposure of the
general public to electromagnetic fields (from 0 Hz to 300 GHz) (1).

Based on the best available scientific data, the text provides in its technical annex, specific requirements for
emissions levels of devices emitting non-ionising radiation to prevent the public from being exposed to
health effects.

The implementation of the Recommendation falls under the responsibility of Member States. This includes
rules of location for transmitter masts.

Further studies are being conducted under the fifth Research and Technological Development Framework
programme to fill existing gaps in the scientific knowledge. The scientific steering committee of the
Commission will deliver by July 2001 an update on its previous opinion published in 1998 to establish
whether or not the scientific basis used for the Council Recommendation needs to be reviewed in the
context of the development of mobile telecommunications technology. Taking into account Article 24 of
the Charter of Fundamental Rights to which the Honourable Member refers, the Commission will react to
any new scientific evidence endorsed by the scientific steering committee not yet taken into account.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3961/00

by Mihail Papayannakis (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(20 December 2000)

Subject: Construction of gas turbines

The Minister for Development recently announced that gas turbine units would be built in the area of
Hellinoperamata (Herakleion) for the Greek Electricity Board (DEI). This decision is contrary to decisions of
the relevant prefectural and local government bodies. It should be pointed out that the area concerned is
already polluted by fumes from a DEI plant built inside the coastal area without any operating licence
which, along with other companies in the vicinity, is causing heavy pollution in the area to the west of the
City of Herakleion. A study drawn up for the municipality concerning the environmental consequences of
the DEI plant for the region in 1998 and 1999 respectively found that nitrogen and sulphur oxide levels
had risen by 300-400 %.

Is the Commission aware of these very serious allegations, and what action does it intend to take to ensure
compliance with Community environmental
legislation and to put an end to pollution in the
Hellinoperamata region?

Supplementary answer
given by Mrs Wallström on behalf of the Commission

(12 November 2001)

the problems of air pollution caused by the operations of

The Commission is aware of
the
Hellinoperamata power station. In this context, a letter of formal notice concerning incorrect application
of Articles 3 and 13 of Directive 84/360/EEC (1) was sent to the Greek authorities on 13 April 2000. In
response to this letter, the Greek authorities informed the Commission of the licences granted to this
power station and the joint ministerial decision approving the environmental impact assessment for all the
plant installations. It appears from an examination of the documents provided that the infringement of
Article 13 of Directive 84/360/EEC is continuing, as the plant has been allowed to operate without Greece
taking appropriate measures to adapt it gradually to the ‘best available technology’ in respect of sulphur
dioxide emissions (SO2).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3979/00

by Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(20 December 2000)

Subject:

(cid:146)Western Landfill Utility(cid:146) (Aterro sanitÆrio do Oeste)

The Movement for Proper Information about the Western Landfill Utility (MPI), which has its headquarters
in the Vilar local government building, in Cadaval (Portugal), has lodged a complaint with the European
Commission(cid:146)s Directorate General for Regional Policy, about the procedure used to select this landfill site,
located in the Torres Vedras groundwater recharge area, which could prove harmful to local groundwater
resources.

As specialists have pointed out, and as I was able to establish on a recent visit to the site, there are
alternatives in the vicinity which would not entail the same environmental, social and economic costs as
this site, on which building work has already begun and whose boundary is next to a small residential
area.

There has been no public debate or prior environmental impact assessment of the project. Moreover, the
Cadaval Municipal Council voted against this site.

The Commission:

1. What is it(cid:146)s position on the complaint submitted by the Movement for Proper Information about the

Western Landfill Utility?

2. What measures are to be taken to ensure that any Community funding will only be granted once it
has been shown that the site selected for the Western Landfill Utility is the one which entails the
lowest cost and the least harmful environmental and social impact?

Answer given by Mrs Wallstr(cid:246)m on behalf of the Commission

(12 February 2001)

The Honourable Member is referred to the Commission(cid:146)s answer to Written Question P-3498/00 from
Mr Jorge Moreira da Silva (1).

The Commission can in fact add that the Portuguese authorities have recently replied to the Commission(cid:146)s
letter. As an annex to their reply, the Portuguese authorities have sent a copy of all studies carried out on
their initiative for the purpose of analysing any impact the project might have on various environmental
resources.

Furthermore, the Commission has also had additional informal contacts with the complainants(cid:146) represen-
tative and the Portuguese authorities in order to shed light on the project(cid:146)s implications, in particular as
regards the protection of aquifers and human health.

Lastly, the Commission would inform the Honourable Member that it is currently examining all the
information in its possession in order to take a decision on the case as soon as possible.

The Commission reserves the right to ask the national authorities for repayment of any co-funding in the
event of non-compliance with Community law.
