Representatives Committee was therefore instructed to consider the Commission(cid:146)s proposals once they had
been formally forwarded to the Council.

The exchange of views under (cid:145)Other business(cid:146) on the agenda of the Council meeting without a formal
proposal was of a preliminary and indicative nature only since it did not provide Member States with the
means to adopt a final position.

Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1540/98 of 29 June 1998 (1) establishing new rules on aid
2.
to shipbuilding states that (cid:145)the Commission shall present to the Council a regular report on the market
situation and appraise whether European yards are affected by anti-competitive practices. If it is established
that industry is being caused injury by anti-competitive practices of any kind, the Commission shall, where
appropriate, propose to the Council measures to address the problem.(cid:146)

This is the context in which the Commission officially forwarded to the Council and the Parliament on
30 July 2001 a proposal for a Council Regulation concerning a temporary defensive mechanism to
shipbuilding (2). The proposal is now being studied carefully by the appropriate Council bodies.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2344/01

by Fran(cid:231)oise GrossetŒte (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Nitrate concentration in drinking water

(27 July 2001)

In view of the harm caused by nitrates in water it is specified that nitrate concentration in drinking water
must not exceed 50 mg/l.

Some scientists now appear to be questioning that limit.

What technical and scientific bases were used to determine the limit for nitrate concentration in drinking
water?

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

(20 September 2001)

The threshold of 50 milligrams per litre (mg/l) for nitrate concentration in drinking water, laid down by
intended for human
Council Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on the quality of water
consumption (1), is identical to the guide value proposed by the World Health Organisation (WHO); it is
the same as the threshold already adopted in the earlier directive on the same subject, Council Directive
80/778/EEC of 15 July 1980 (2).

This value guarantees protection against infantile methaemoglobinaemia.
