A table providing the references for national guidance for control and prevention of Legionnaires’ disease
is sent direct to the Honourable Member and to Parliament’s Secretariat. Many countries have guidance but
not all have legislation in place.

No common European framework exists. The Commission is in the process of building such a European
framework, and harmonised product standards will enable water supply systems made from products
complying with these European standards to provide water quality in accordance with the requirements of
the Drinking Water Directive, Council Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on the quality of water
intended for human consumption (1).

Has the Commission seen the copies of the videocassettes filmed in the Seychelles by Pauline Ferrari?

Would it not agree that these demonstrate clearly human rights abuses by the regime

Answer given by Mr Nielson on behalf of the Commission

Should the Commission consider that there is a violation of these values, all appropriate instruments
provided for by the Cotonou Agreement will be applied.
