Subject: Composition and duties of the European Scientific Diving Supervisory Committee

With reference to my Written Question E-1817/99 and the Commission's reply to it(1):

Which of the duties mentioned in the previous reply has the committee performed?

(1) OJ C 203 E, 18.7.2000, p. 57.

Answer given by Mr Busquin on behalf of the Commission

(21 June 2000)

The mandate of the European scientific diving supervisory committee is contained in the draft standard for a European scientific diver. It reads as follows: It is therefore proposed that a self-monitoring is done in some way, but decisions could be taken at a higher level by an already existing committee like the programme committees associated to the European research programmes like MAST-III or a committee linked to some Europe wide scientific organisation. It was therefore proposed to establish a European Scientific Diving Supervisory Committee (ESDSC).

The ESDSC has been attached to the European marine and polar sciences board of the European science foundation, 1 quai Lezay Marnésia, F-67080 Strasbourg Cedex which could provide the Honourable Member with more information such as current membership. According to information available to the Commission, the SDSC has not yet met.
