As indicated in reply to the Honourable Member(cid:146)s Question E-0822/01 (1), the budget of the Community
does not contain provision for the funding of measures destined to protect the world cultural heritage.
There are at present no plans by the Community to create a special fund to buy cultural treasures
threatened with destruction.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1005/01

by Mark Watts (PSE) to the Commission

(30 March 2001)

Subject: Land-use planning around Community airports

Will the Commission say to what extent it sees the establishment of guidelines for land-use planning
around airports,
(as referred to in its Communication on Air Transport and the Environment of
1 December 1999), as a responsible and decisive step forward in addressing the issue of aircraft noise
around Community airports?

(2001/C 318 E/193)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1006/01

by Mark Watts (PSE) to the Commission

(30 March 2001)

Subject: Land-use planning around Community airports

With reference to its Communication on Air Transport and the Environment (1 December 1999) and the
resolution adopted by the European Parliament on that Communication (7 September 2000), will the
Commission state when, precisely, it intends to publish its report on guidelines for best practice in land-
use planning around Community airports? Will
it ensure broad consultation when conducting this
investigation, and will it say which stakeholders will be approached?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-1005/01 and E-1006/01
given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(18 June 2001)

The Commission considers appropriate rules for the use of land around Community airports as an
important element for a policy aimed at protecting people living in the vicinity of airports from the impact
of aircraft noise without unduly affecting the economics of air transport operations.

At the same time, however, the Commission fully recognises the prerogatives of Member States and
competent local authorities for rule making and concrete decisions in this field. It does not intend to
interfere with the existing allocation of responsibilities.

However, given the importance decisions on the use of land around airports may have for meeting the
objective of improving the noise situation in terms of reducing the number of people seriously impacted
by aircraft noise, the Commission intends to create a group of experts involving members with direct
responsibilities in this field in order to identify best practices in this field. The Commission hopes that the
work of this group will be useful for establishing recommendations on land-use rules which will be
oriented towards improving the balance between environmental, economic and social concerns whilst
respecting the existing allocation of responsibilities.

by Yasmine Boudjenah (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(30 March 2001)

Subject: Ratification of ILO Convention 182

ILO Convention 182 of 17 June 1999 concerns the worst forms of child labour and action to eliminate
them. Can the Commission state which are the EU Member States that have signed and ratified that
Convention?

What action will the Commission take to ensure that ILO Convention 182 is ratified and implemented by
all the Member States?

Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

(5 June 2001)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to Written Question E-0299/01 by
Mrs Maij-Weggen (1). According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), Denmark, Spain, Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Finland and the United Kingdom have now ratified ILO Convention 182.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1009/01

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

Subject: Urgent requirement for a water-treatment plant for Ronda

(30 March 2001)

Installing a water-treatment plant at Ronda, in the Spanish province of MÆlaga, is essential if the River
Guadiaro is to be cleaned up and if the transfer of water from that river to CÆdiz is to be made safer and
more efficient.

In spite of this, no date has been set for the entry into service of such a treatment plant (for which the
Spanish Government awarded a contract in November of last year), for which reason the river Guadalev(cid:237)n
(the waters of which flow into the Guadiaro) is likely to remain polluted for some time to come.

Since the people of MÆlaga province would like to see this major water-pollution problem solved as
a matter of urgency, could the Commission say exactly when Ronda will have a water-treatment plant and
how much the Community will contribute to the 1 716 billion pesetas which the Spanish Government has
allocated to the project, whose date of entry into service remains a mystery to the inhabitants of the towns
affected?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(21 May 2001)

On 29 December 2000, the Commission approved Cohesion Fund part-financing for the EDAR project
(Estaci(cid:243)n depuradora de aguas residual) in Ronda (Malaga) (1). Besides the actual construction work on
EDAR, the project will also lengthen the general collector in Ronda and build a connection to channel
waste water from the northern part of the city to the treatment plant.

The project costs (cid:129) 85 % covered by the Community (cid:129) will
