Annex V shall apply without prejudice to Directive 75/442/EEC, as amended by Directive 91/156/EEC, and Directive 91/689/EEC. 2. This Annex consists of three parts, whereby Parts 2 and 3 only apply when Part 1 is not applicable. Consequently, to determine if a specific waste is covered by Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 259/93, one has to first check whether the waste features in Part 1 of Annex V, if this is not the case whether it features in Part 2, and if this is not the case whether it features in Part 3. Part 1 is divided into two sub-sections: List A enumerating wastes which are classified as hazadous for the purposes of the Basel Convention and therefore are covered by the export ban and List B enumerating wastes which are not covered by the export ban. Thus, if a waste features in Part 1, one has to check if it is enumerated in List A or in List B. Only if a waste does not feature in either List A or List B of Part 1, one has to check if it features in Part 2 or 3 and if this is the case it is covered by the export ban. 3. Member States may make provisions, in exceptional cases, to determine, om the basis of documentary evidence provided in an appropriate way by the holder, that a specific waste on this Annex is excluded from the export ban referred to in Article 16(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 as amended, if it does not display any of the properties listed in Annex III to Directive 91/689/EEC, taking into account, as regards H3 to H8 of the said Annex, the limit values laid down in Council Decision 94/904/EC (1). In such a case, the Member State concerned shall inform the envisaged importing country prior to taking a decision.

text: 8. 8. 2000 IT Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee C 225 E/85 Nella sessione del 9 novembre 1999, il Consiglio Industria ha preso atto con preoccupazione di quanto indicato nella relazione e ha sollecitato una serie di azioni per porre rimedio alla situazione. Anzitutto, il Consiglio ha chiesto alla Commissione di proseguire nei suoi sforzi per garantire la parit(cid:224) di condizioni nel settore, avviando immediatamente consultazioni costruttive con la Corea per porre fine alla concorrenza sleale; inoltre, ha chiesto al settore, agli Stati membri e alla Commissione di raccogliere prove quanto piø numerose e minuziose possibile del presunto comportamento anticoncorrenziale, perchØ si possano prendere gli opportuni provvedimenti in sede di Organizzazione mondiale del commercio (OMC). Il Consiglio ha chiesto agli Stati membri anche di far pressioni sul Fondo monetario internazionale (FMI) e sulla Banca mondiale perchØ continuino a vigilare sul pieno rispetto delle condizioni e dei presupposti per le misure di salvataggio dell(cid:146)FMI ed ha invitato gli Stati membri e la Commissione a continuare ad adoperarsi presso le sedi internazionali adeguate, tra cui l(cid:146)Organizzazione per la cooperazione e lo sviluppo economico (OCSE), per garantire la parit(cid:224) di condizioni nel settore, in applicazione delle regole di concorrenza leale. Infine, il Consiglio ha approvato la determinazione della Commissione di continuare ad assolvere gli obblighi che le impone l(cid:146)articolo 12 del regolamento (CE) n. 1540/98 del Consiglio e d(cid:146)informarlo tempestivamente sugli sviluppi della situazione. (1) COM(1999) 474 def. (2000/C 225 E/085) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-2281/99 di Ursula Stenzel (PPE-DE) alla Commissione (24 novembre 1999) Oggetto: Strategia di ampliamento e sicurezza nucleare La Commissione europea ha modificato la propria strategia negoziale consentendo a tutti i candidati di partecipare ai negoziati di adesione ed evitando cos(cid:236) una suddivisione in due gruppi. Pu(cid:242) la Commissione far sapere se l(cid:146)apertura di trattative con la Bulgaria Ł subordinata all(cid:146)esistenza di un calendario per la chiusura dei reattori 1 e 4 della centrale nucleare di Kozloduj? Qual Ł la sua strategia per la Slovacchia, la quale secondo il desiderio espresso dall(cid:146)Austria dovrebbe aderire alla UE soltanto dopo la chiusura della centrale atomica di Bohunice prima del 2006? Qual Ł il calendario previsto per l(cid:146)apertura dei negoziati con i paesi del secondo gruppo, alla luce di questi problemi? Risposta data dal sig. Verheugen in nome della Commissione (9 dicembre 1999) La Comunit(cid:224) rivolge un(cid:146)attenzione particolare alla sicurezza nucleare nei paesi dell(cid:146)Europa centrale ed orientale. Il Consiglio Europeo di Colonia ha sottolineato l(cid:146)importanza della sicurezza nucleare nel contesto dell(cid:146)allargamento ed ha invitato la Commissione ad esaminare il problema tramite le relazioni periodiche relative ai progressi dei paesi candidati in merito all(cid:146)adesione. La sicurezza nucleare sar(cid:224) oggetto di controllo continuo e di un(cid:146)azione di sostegno da parte della Commissione nel periodo precedente l(cid:146)adesione. Per quanto riguarda i reattori dei paesi candidati non potenziabili, conformemente alle norme di sicurezza internazionali, a costi ragionevoli (Ignalina in Lituania, Bohunice V1 in Slovacchia e le unit(cid:224) 1-4 di Kozloduy in Bulgaria), la Commissione, in linea con le posizioni adottate dal Consiglio e dal Parlamento, ha cercato di attuarne la piø rapida chiusura effettiva, attraverso l(cid:146)impegno dei paesi interessati a rispettare le scadenze di chiusura, compatibilmente con gli obblighi internazionali assunti. La Commissione ha altres(cid:236) dichiarato la propria volont(cid:224) di assistere tali paesi nel rispetto di tali calendari, sia dal punto di vista tecnico che finanziario. In seguito alle trattative con la Commissione, la Lituania e la Slovacchia hanno recentemente preso la decisione di chiudere i reattori piø vecchi, ed hanno rivisto conformemente le loro strategie energetiche. Nel caso della Slovacchia, i due reattori di Bohunice V1 verranno chiusi rispettivamente entro il 2006 e il 2008. C 225 E/86 Gazzetta ufficiale delle Comunit(cid:224) europee IT 8. 8. 2000 Per quanto riguarda la Bulgaria, in linea con il documento globale della Commissione sui progressi dei paesi candidati in vista dell(cid:146)adesione, ottobre 1999, Ł stato raggiunto un accordo tra il governo bulgaro e la Commissione il 29 novembre 1999, nel quale si afferma che il governo bulgaro si era impegnato a chiudere definitivamente e al piø presto le unit(cid:224) 1-4 della centrale nucleare di Kozloduy. A tale proposito, e sulla base dell(cid:146)impegno della Commissione riguardo al sostegno finanziario, il governo bulgaro si impegna a chiudere definitivamente le unit(cid:224) 1 e 2 della centrale di Kozloduy entro il 2003. In occasione dell(cid:146)aggiornamento della strategia energetica che sar(cid:224) completata nel 2002, la Bulgaria decider(cid:224), in accordo con la Commissione e tenendo conto dell(cid:146)accordo relativo alla sicurezza nucleare, nonchØ di altri fattori rilevanti, le date relative alla chiusura definitiva delle unit(cid:224) 3 e 4, che verranno anticipate rispettivamente al 2008 e al 2010 rispetto alle date previste. L(cid:146)intesa con la Commissione prevede che la chiusura definitiva di tali unit(cid:224) avverr(cid:224) al piø tardi nel 2006. (2000/C 225 E/086) INTERROGAZIONE SCRITTA P-2284/99 di Samuli Pohjamo (ELDR) alla Commissione (24 novembre 1999) Oggetto: Utilizzo di materiali classificati come rifiuti, in Finlandia La proposta di direttiva presentata dalla Commissione e concernente l(cid:146)incenerimento dei rifiuti ha comportato grandi problemi in Finlandia. La proposta di direttiva Ł adatta per i paesi in cui lo smaltimento dei rifiuti si basa su impianti di la Finlandia finirebbe in una situazione opposta, dal punto di vista dell(cid:146)efficacia della tutela dell(cid:146)ambiente e dell(cid:146)ecologia. incenerimento della massa. Se si attenesse alla direttiva, industriali che consentono la combustione parallela e sicura di materiali Stando alle stime dell(cid:146)industria, il nostro paese dispone di almeno 200 impianti per la produzione di calore e di energia e forni innocui, legno, si tratta ad esempio di carta, di cartone, di tessuti, nonchØ di classificati come rifiuti. Oltre al colaticci non pericolosi di lavorazioni industriali che per una qualche ragione non possono essere riciclati. nella nostra industria i materiali classificati come rifiuti e adatti all(cid:146)incenerimento vengono selezionati sul luogo di produzione, nello stesso identico modo che nei nuclei familiari e nel settore commerciale. E(cid:146) cos(cid:236) possibile garantire che l(cid:146)incenerimento non causi emissioni piø dannose di quelle causate dai comuni combustibili.

title: WRITTEN QUESTION P-2281/99 by Ursula Stenzel (PPE-DE) to the Commission. Enlargement strategy and nuclear safety.

text: 8. 8. 2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 225 E/85 At its meeting on 9 November 1999, the Industry Council noted with concern the report(cid:146)s findings and called for a series of actions to address the situation. It wanted the Commission to pursue its efforts to establish a level playing field for the sector by immediately engaging Korea in constructive consultations with a view to halting the unfair competition. Further it called upon industry, Member States and the Commission to seek as much detailed evidence as possible of the alleged anti-competitive behaviour, in order to take appropriate action under the World trade organization (WTO). It wanted Member States to urge the International monetary fund (IMF) and World Bank to continue to investigate whether the conditions and assumptions for IMF rescue packages are fully respected. Finally Member States and the Commission were to pursue their efforts to establish a level playing field for the sector in the appropriate in international fora, order to enforce fair competition rules. The Council also welcomed the Commission(cid:146)s determination to continue to meet its obligations under Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1540/98 and to report on developments as soon as necessary. including the Organisation for economic cooperation and development (OECD), (1) COM(1999) 474 final. (2000/C 225 E/085) WRITTEN QUESTION P-2281/99 by Ursula Stenzel (PPE-DE) to the Commission (24 November 1999) Subject: Enlargement strategy and nuclear safety The European Commission has changed its negotiating strategy and now seeks to enable accession negotiations with all applicant states in order to avoid a division into two groups. Is a deadline for decommissioning reactors Nos 1 and 4 at precondition for opening negotiations with Bulgaria? the Kozloduy nuclear power plant a What line is being taken on Slovakia, which, to comply with Austria(cid:146)s requirements, could only accede to the EU if it had closed down its Bohunice nuclear power plant by the year 2006? What timetable does it propose for opening negotiations with the countries of the second group in relation to this problem? Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission (9 December 1999) The Community attaches particular attention to nuclear safety in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The European Council in Cologne stressed the importance of nuclear safety in the context of enlargement and called on the Commission to examine this issue thoroughly in its next regular reports on the progress of candidate countries towards accession. Nuclear safety will be subject to continued scrutiny and supportive action by the Commission in the pre-accession period. As for reactors in candidate countries that are not upgradeable to international safety standards at a reasonable cost (Ignalina in Lithuania, Bohunice V1 in Slovakia and units 1-4 of the Kozloduy in Bulgaria), the Commission, in line with the positions taken by the Council and the Parliament, has been seeking their earliest practicable closure through commitment of the concerned countries on realistic closure timetables, consistent where applicable with assumed international obligations. The Commission has also declared its willingness to assist these countries in implementing such timetables both technically and financially. Following discussions with the Commission, Lithuania and Slovakia recently took decisions for closure of older reactors, and have been revising their energy strategies accordingly. In the case of Slovakia, the two Bohunice V1 reactors will be closed by 2006 and 2008, respectively. C 225 E/86 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 8. 8. 2000 As regards Bulgaria, in line with the Commission(cid:146)s October 1999 composite paper on the progress of candidate countries towards accession, an understanding was reached between the Bulgarian Government and the Commission, on 29th November 1999, stating that the Bulgarian Government was committed to definitively close units 1-4 of the Kozloduy nuclear power plant at the earliest possible dates. In this context, and on the basis of the commitment of the Commission for financial support, the Bulgarian Government commits itself to definitively close down units 1 and 2 of the Kozloduy nuclear power plant before the year 2003. On the occasion of the updating of the energy strategy which will be completed in 2002, Bulgaria will decide, in agreement with the Commission and taking account of the Nuclear safety account agreement and other relevant factors, on the definitive closure dates for units 3 and 4, which will be before the presently envisaged closure dates of 2008 and 2010, respectively. The Commission(cid:146)s understanding is that the definitive closure of these units will take place in 2006 at the latest. (2000/C 225 E/086) WRITTEN QUESTION P-2284/99 by Samuli Pohjamo (ELDR) to the Commission (24 November 1999) Subject: Use of material classified as waste in Finland The Commission(cid:146)s proposed directive on the incineration of waste will give rise to serious problems in Finland. The proposed directive is drawn up with countries in mind in which waste management is based in complying with the directive Finland would be forced into a on mass incineration units. However, situation which would be in conflict with environmental efficiency. According to industry(cid:146)s own estimates there are at least 200 heating and power generation plants and industrial furnaces in Finland in which it is possible to safely co-incinerate harmless materials classified as waste. In addition to wood these include paper which is unsuitable for recycling for one reason or another, cardboard, textiles and harmless sludge from industrial processes. In our industries the materials classified as waste which are suitable for incineration are sorted at the place of origin in just the same way, mutatis mutandis, as in the household and commercial sectors. In this way it is ensured that no more harmful emissions arise from incineration than from ordinary fuels. The incineration plants are also efficiently supervised. The application of such limit values to plants which incinerate harmless materials classified as waste as an additional fuel is very problematic, if only because the continuous measurement of emissions is expensive and calls for high investments in measuring equipment. In Finland the long transport distances favour the use of small plants. Costs could well rise to such an extent that the use of waste as an additional fuel will cease to be profitable. Co-incineration can reduce the quantity of waste needing to be transported to landfill sites. The use of the energy content of materials sorted at source which are classified as waste, but which emit harmless combustion gases when burnt, contributes greatly to sustainable development. 1. What is the Commission doing to ensure that the drafting of the directive takes into account the efficient sorting of waste at source in Finland and the use of energy this makes possible? 2. Is it possible that the authorities supervising incineration could be given wider powers to be flexible in individual cases, where this is justified in the light of the type of waste and the technical level of the installation?
