WRITTEN QUESTION E-0347/02

by Mario Borghezio (NI) to the Commission

(12 February 2002)

Subject: Air safety and illegal trading in used spare parts

It has emerged from an investigation carried out in Italy that a huge trade in recycled used spare parts for
civil aircraft is going on under the auspices of the Panaviation company, and it is reported that such parts
are still available for purchase via the Internet.

There is apparently even a possibility that certain serious air crashes which have occurred recently were
caused through the use of used or unsuitable parts for which a forged certificate had been issued.

What urgent action is the Commission intending to take in order to ensure that national and international
civil-aviation monitoring bodies carry out appropriate checks promptly in order to ascertain from the
airlines which aircraft have been fitted with spare parts or other equipment of dubious origin, so that steps
can be taken to prevent those aircraft from being used to operate civilian flights from any European
airport?

Does the Commission not also think that an investigation into the above-mentioned illegal trade should be
carried out throughout Europe?

(2002/C 172 E/197)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0378/02

by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(19 February 2002)

Subject: Dangerous used spare parts for aircraft

The Italian aviation authorities have revealed that American and Italian companies were marketing old,
defective and recycled spare parts for aircraft. The problem reportedly affects 2 % of aircraft and it is
estimated that such unsuitable spares may be responsible for 10 % of recent aviation accidents.

1.

2.

Are there any specifications with which airlines should comply in purchasing their spare parts?

Are there airlines which use such spare parts?

3. What measures will the Commission take to tackle this problem in a coordinated manner?

(2002/C 172 E/198)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0540/02

by Christopher Heaton-Harris (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(28 February 2002)

Subject: Defective planes

Can the Commission state what action it has taken with regard to the recent scandal involving the sale of
defective aircraft parts in Italy? In particular, are there any investigations ongoing into the activities of the
company ‘Panaviation’?

What contact has the Commission had on this subject with the Italian Government?

COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION,

publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities L 345 of 29 December 2001, page
49, of a text entitled ‘Commission Regulation (EC) No 2602/2001 of 27 December 2001 establishing
additional technical measures for the recovery of the stock of hake in ICES subareas III, IV, V, VI
and VII and ICES divisions VIIIa,b,d,e’

Since the abovementioned Regulation was adopted without the required opinion of the Management
Committee (contrary to what was stated at recital 7) and is therefore unlawful by reason of infringement of
an essential procedural requirement, the text entitled ‘Regulation (EC) No 2602/2001 of 27 December 2001
establishing additional technical measures for the recovery of the stock of hake in ICES subareas III, IV, V,
VI and VII and ICES divisions VIIIa,b,d,e’ cannot produce any effect whatsoever and the said publication
should be deemed never to have taken place.
