WRITTEN QUESTION E-0183/01

by Jorge HernÆndez Mollar (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(1 February 2001)

Subject: Investment in Andalusia

At a time when the future of the EU fisheries sector is a cause for serious concern, it is worth reviewing
the situation in communities which are particularly affected by the crisis, for reasons which need no
explanation.

With reference to Andalusia (Spain), the 1997-1999 Community Fisheries Initiative and the 1994-1999
Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance, how much was invested by the European Union in Andalusia(cid:146)s
fisheries sector and how much by the beneficiaries of the various measures?

During the same period, how much was invested by Spain as a Member State and by the Andalusia
Regional Government?

What would be the European Union(cid:146)s assessment of the way in which the money has been spent?

How much money has been repaid by Andalusia in the fisheries sector?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(13 March 2001)

The Commission shares the Honourable Member(cid:146)s concern about the fishing industry in Spanish regions
faced with increasingly difficult access to fish stocks. It would point out that the implementation period for
programmes under the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG) and Pesca in respect of Spanish
Objective 1 regions will not expire until 31 December 2001.

For the period as a whole, the Commission is able to state that all appropriations have been committed but
does not have final data on payments.

At 31 December 1999, expenditure carried out
programmes was as follows:

in respect of Andalusia under FIFG and PESCA

PESCA Community Initiative

In accordance with the Community rules in force, the Member State is responsible for taking appropriate
measures to prevent irregularities and fraud and to introduce a monitoring system which ensures that the
public funds at stake are managed soundly and efficiently.

The Commission in any case intends to carry out an on-the-spot inspection at the Andalusian regional
authority during the first half of 2001 to check that the current monitoring systems comply with the rules
in force.

To date, the Autonomous Community of Andalusia has not had to pay money back to the Community in
respect of structural aid for fisheries.

Is the Commission aware of the investigations being carried out?

Does it intend to review air quality on board this type of aircraft, and similar types, with view to
protecting the health of the crew and of the passengers on board?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0191/01

by Chris Davies (ELDR) to the Commission

(1 February 2001)

Subject: Use of organophosphates on aircraft

Is the Commission aware of concern that air crews and travellers may suffer health problems because of
the leakage into air-circulation systems on aircraft of fumes containing organophosphates, particularly
tricreslyphosphate and triorthocresylphosphate used as lubricants in aircraft engines?

Is the Commission aware of any research being carried out into these alleged problems, and does it intend
to submit proposals designed to reduce any proven or feared risks?

(2001/C 235 E/139)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0233/01

by Cristina Garc(cid:237)a-Orcoyen Tormo (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(7 February 2001)

Subject: Economy class syndrome

Although reports concerning cases of what is known as (cid:145)economy class syndrome(cid:146) appear relatively
frequently in the media, the syndrome would appear to be responsible for many more deaths than is
actually reported.

The syndrome consists in the formation of blood clots in the legs or hips of passengers during flights
lasting more than two hours. Owing to the prolonged immobility, those blood clots can travel to the brain
and cause death.

Given the importance of this issue and the fact that preventive measures can be taken with a view to
reducing the health risk, does the Commission intend to take steps to ensure that airlines introduce such
measures?

(2001/C 235 E/140)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0349/01

by Garrelt Duin (PSE) to the Commission

(13 February 2001)

Subject: Danger of deep-vein thrombosis for passengers on long-haul flights ((cid:145)economy class syndrome(cid:146))

Flying as a passenger in a cramped economy-class seat is more dangerous than has hitherto been admitted.
With freedom of movement being restricted, blood may coagulate in passengers(cid:146) legs on long-haul flights,
and that can lead to the formation of potentially fatal blood clots. Especially in economy class, where the
seat pitch is generally less than 80 cm, the danger of damage to health is particularly high, hence the tag
(cid:145)economy class syndrome(cid:146). A study carried out by British medical specialists comes to the horrifying
conclusion that, in Great Britain alone, as many as 2 000 passengers die every year from (cid:145)economy class
syndrome(cid:146).
