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?

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).
