WRITTEN QUESTION E-1147/02

by Jens-Peter Bonde (EDD) to the Commission

(24 April 2002)

Subject: International food standards

The Danish Consumer Council has warned that the 15 Member States are to have only one single EU vote
on the Codex Alimentarius. Does the Commission share this view?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(3 June 2002)

The Commission does not share the view of the Danish Consumer Council. The number of votes which
the Community requests in the Codex Alimentarius Commission will be equal to the number of its
Member States that are entitled to vote. As is already the case in the FAO framework, when the
Community exercises its right to vote in areas of Community competence,
its Member States do not
exercise theirs, and conversely. The Commission invites the Honourable Member to consult the draft
amendment of the rules of procedure of Codex Alimentarius (CX/GP 02/7) and the information note of the
Community to Codex (CX/GP 02/INF.1). While the Community’s accession is still under consideration
these documents give full explanations about the future status in Codex Alimentarius of a regional
economic integration organisation such as the Community.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1150/02

by Michl Ebner (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(24 April 2002)

Subject: Year of Books and Literacy

In the report ‘Frontiers in book production’, the MEP Barbara O’Toole calls for the designation of a
European Year of Books and Literacy. This would be an exemplary project to encourage our fellow
European citizens to read more and to raise awareness of the importance of reading books.

Can the Commission therefore state whether it plans to proclaim a ‘European Year of Books and Literacy’,
and, if so, which year it is planned for?

Answer given by Ms Reding on behalf of the Commission

(31 May 2002)

The Commission shares the point of view expressed in the report ‘Frontiers in book production’, as
mentioned by the Honourable Member, on the need to do more to combat illiteracy and functional
illiteracy and to raise the general public’s awareness of the importance of books and electronic publishing
in the knowledge-based economy.

For this reason, the Community, together with the Council of Europe, launched a campaign to raise the
awareness of European citizens of books and reading. This campaign, which was entitled ‘Reading for
Pleasure’, ran from April 1993 to September 1994 and included a whole range of events to promote
books and reading.

It will not be possible to organise a year of books and literacy in the medium term. This is because 2003
will be devoted to people with disabilities (1), and 2004 will be devoted to education through sport (2).

COMMISSION OPINION

of 24 April 2002

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste resulting from modifications at the site
of the Brokdorf Nuclear Power Station KBR in the Federal Republic of Germany, in accordance
with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2002/C 105/03)

(only the German text is authentic)

On 10 October 2001, the European Commission received from the Government of the Federal Republic of
Germany, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, general data relating to the plan for the
disposal of radioactive waste resulting from modifications at the site of the Brokdorf Nuclear Power Station
KBR.

On the basis of these data, the Commission has considered that the plan concerned modifications to an
existing plan on which an opinion had already been given. The Commission has further taken into
consideration that the intermediate storage facility for irradiated fuel resulting from those modifications
is designed to operate up to 40 years and could remain in operation after decommissioning and
dismantling of the existing plant. Following consultation with the group of experts, the Commission
has drawn up the following opinion:

(a) The planned modifications require no changes to the existing authorised limits for gaseous and liquid

discharges.

(b) The planned modifications have no consequences in relation to the solid radioactive waste arising from

the operation of the existing plant.

(c) The planned modifications have no consequences in relation to the unplanned discharges of radioactive
substances, which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data of
the existing plan.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of
radioactive waste in whatever form resulting from modifications at the site of the Brokdorf Nuclear Power
Station KBR, located in the Federal Republic of Germany, both in normal operation and in the event of an
accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, is not liable to result in radioactive
contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil or airspace of another
Member State.
