WRITTEN QUESTION E-0305/02

by Jorge Moreira Da Silva (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(11 February 2002)

Subject: Protection of pedestrians on the public thoroughfares

Having regard to:

  Article 1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU concerning the right of the citizen to

protection,

  the dangers and unfavourable conditions affecting non-motorised road users in the European Union

(37 % of victims (1)),

  the principle of fair division of use of public thoroughfares in towns, built-up areas, villages and

residential areas in general,

Can the Commission answer the following questions:

  What rule specifically defines the space which must be made available to a pedestrian on public
thoroughfares to ensure ease of movement and effective protection against danger directly arising
from motorised traffic (space, obstacles, active safety measures)?

  If this rule exists, what administrative/legislative provision requires it to be implemented by the

Member States and local authorities?

  What administrative/legislative measure exists to enable citizens to uphold their right to safety from

the dangers and inconvenience caused by automobiles?

(1) Eurostat Carine Collin: 44 000 deaths and 1 700 000 injured in 1998. (Section 7, 3/2000 available on http://
europa.eu.int/comm/eurostat/Public/datashop/print-product/FR?catalogue=Eurostat&product=CA-NZ-00-003-_-I-
FR&mode=download.

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(8 April 2002)

Road safety is one of the Commission’s priorities, as clearly stated in the White Paper on European
transport for 2010: time to decide (1). Given the annual death toll of 40 000, 16 % of victims being
pedestrians, the White Paper sets the ambitious target of cutting the number of deaths on public roads and
thoroughfares by 50 %. It is in this context that the Commission is preparing a road safety programme for
the period 2002-2010.

However, the Commission would stress that there is no EU rule specifically defining the space which must
be made available to a pedestrian on public thoroughfares, as the principle of subsidiarity applies here.

Citizens may therefore invoke their rights regarding proper space for pedestrians under national, regional
or local administrative provisions and laws.

by Miquel Mayol i Raynal (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(11 February 2002)

Subject: Poverty

In its communication to the European Council to be held in Barcelona in Spring, the Commission seeks to
halve the number of persons threatened by poverty.

The most recent statistics it appear date from 1996, when 60 million were ‘threatened by poverty’, that is
to say 18 % of the population as a whole and 25 % of young people under 18.

In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No
1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is
to be determined periodically from the price for ginned
cotton recorded on the world market and by reference
to the historical relationship between the price recorded
for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned
cotton. That historical relationship has been established
in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/
2001 of 2 August 2001 (3). Where the world market
price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based
on the most recent price determined.

In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No
1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton
is to be determined in respect of a product of specific
characteristics and by reference to the most favourable
offers and quotations on the world market among those

considered representative of the real market trend. To
that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and
quotations
recorded on one or more European
exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the
Community and coming from the various supplier coun-
tries considered the most representative in terms of
international

adjusting the criteria for determining the world market
