C 277 E/237

In other Member States as Denmark, Sweden and Finland lead pipes in the supply of drinking water have
never been used.

With regard to aid or subsidies for the replacement of lead pipes, within consumers’ premises, the
Commission is aware of some Member States already using this incentive (grant schemes) to promote pipe
replacement (the Netherlands, United Kingdom), while some other Member States are still considering such
an incentive.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1684/02

by Hubert Pirker (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(12 June 2002)

Subject: Free movement of hunting weapons

According to oral statements by the Italian authorities, the Italian laws Decreto Legge Nr. 527/92 of
30 December 1992 and Decreto Ministeriale Nr. 635/96 of 30 October 1996 do not permit
the
temporary importation of hunting weapons into Italy from another Member State, for example for them to
be shown to potential customers.

To what extent does the Commission view this as non-compliance with the implementation of Directive
91/477/EEC (1) and as an obstacle to the free movement of goods?

(1) OJ L 256, 13.9.1991, p. 51.

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(19 July 2002)

The Commission is grateful to the honourable Member for the information provided, to the effect that the
temporary importation of hunting weapons into Italy from another Member State, for example for them to
be shown to potential customers, is not allowed.

As the transfer of firearms from one EU Member State to another is governed by Council Directive
91/477/EEC of 18 June 1991 on control of the acquisition and possession of weapons, the Commission
has contacted the authorities in the Member State in question to request clarification of the circumstances.

The Commission will certainly inform the honourable Member of the outcome of its approach.

by Stavros Xarchakos (PPE-DE) to the Commission

Subject: Air traffic control and weather forecasting

Air traffic control
in Europe is extremely important as its effectiveness determines flight safety and
avoidance of delays. Equally as important (and closely linked) is the smooth operation of meteorological
services providing accurate long-range weather forecasts at the right time.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1673/02

by Roger Helmer (PPE-DE), Charles Tannock (PPE-DE)
and Theresa Villiers (PPE-DE) to the Council

(12 June 2002)

Subject: Seigniorage

What has been the impact of seigniorage on the national finances of each of the Member States which
have adopted the euro?

Does the Council have any estimates of the financial costs or benefits in terms of seigniorage to the UK if
it were to join the euro?

Reply

(16-19 December 2002)

After the adoption of the euro by participating Member States, the monetary income which they formerly
generated from their national currencies (‘seigniorage income’) has been transferred to the ECB.
In
accordance with Article 33 of the Statute of the ESCB and the ECB, this monetary income is added to the
net profits or losses of the ECB.

In the case of net profits, Article 33 stipulates that profits which remain after deduction of an amount to
be transferred to the general reserve fund of the ECB are distributed to the NCBs, which are the
shareholders of the ECB, in proportion to their paid-up shares.

However, in the three years from 1999 to 2001, the seigniorage income from the national banknotes in
issue was not pooled and allocated.

At the present time, the Council has no further information to enable it to reply to the question.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1692/02

by Robert Evans (PSE) to the Commission

(12 June 2002)

Subject: European Parliament resolution on road safety adopted on 18 January 2001

Can the Commission indicate what progress has been made on the actions and priorities set out in the
European Parliament resolution on road safety adopted on 18 January 2001?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(1 August 2002)

In addition to continuing the measures already launched in previous years, the Commission has introduced
a series of new measures aimed at halving the numbers of road deaths by 2010, as proposed in the White
Paper on transport policy (1).

In this connection, we can mention in particular:

(cid:1) proposals on speed limiters, safety belts, working hours for professional drivers and car fronts: texts

on these four subjects are currently in the process of being adopted by the co-legislators;

(cid:1) the development and distribution of a database on road accidents (a first series of accident statistics is

now available on Europa);

(cid:1) the launch of wide-ranging awareness campaigns, dealing in particular with alcohol and the behaviour

of young road users;

(cid:1) the reinforcement of cooperation between control bodies in the Member States through collaboration

between different traffic-police forces;
