WRITTEN QUESTION E-3226/02

by Theresa Villiers (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(14 November 2002)

Subject: Safety of crash barriers for motorcyclists

In a meeting between Mr Carlos Bautista and Commissioner Loyola de Palacio in September 2001,
the Commissioner admitted that the current design of crash barriers is dangerous for motorcyclists.
The Commissioner assured that immediate action would be taken to resolve this problem.

Could the Commission explain what steps have been taken to improve the safety of crash barriers for

1.
motorcyclists?

2. What
motorcyclists?

future plans does the Commission have to improve the safety of crash barriers for

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(18 December 2002)

The high level of unsafety of motorcyclists is of major concern to the Commission and the problem is
therefore attacked from different angles. It should be reminded that Member States are responsible for
equipping roads with effective safety restraint systems including crash barriers.

The Commission has mandated the Committee for European Normalisation (CEN) to elaborate a new
harmonised European standard on the basis of the existing EN 1317 on road restraint systems, which will
require any road restraint systems to be submitted to CE marking. Thus restraint systems that are put to
the market will have to meet minimum common safety performance requirements. In its current form, this
standard does however not
in time, different
include specific tests for motorcyclists. At
experimental solutions exist to fulfill the needs of this group of road users.

this point

Black spot management and information to motorcyclists at stretches of road that have shown to be prone
to motorcylce accidents are reckoned to be effective on a short term basis. To this end, the Commission
has announced a proposal for a directive on black spot management in its workplan for 2003 (1).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3469/02

by Ward Beysen (NI) to the Commission

(6 December 2002)

Subject: The concentration on the Czech electricity market in the process of enlargement

Currently, the Czech government is preparing a concentration of competitors through an acquisition by
the joint stock company CEZ a.s. of shares in eight regional electricity distribution companies from the
National Property Fund. This has been published in the Commercial Bulletin on 24 July 2002.

On the one hand, this initiative will constitute a vertical integration of generation and supply of electricity
on the Czech markets; on the other hand will this also create horizontal integration of the distributors.
As a result, the new CEZ-Group will control more than 70 % of the generation and 2/3 of the national
electricity supply.
