Mr. Ivan Henderson: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will make a statement on the outcome of the Internal
Market, Consumers and Tourism Council on 30 and 31 May. [1705]
Miss Melanie Johnson: The Deputy Permanent Representative Bill Stow represented the UK at the Internal Market, Consumers and Tourism
Council ("IMCT") in Brussels on 30 and 31 May.
The Council reached agreement on Directives on Fair Value Accounting, Life Assurance and Short-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins.
The proposed amendment to the Cosmetics Directive was referred back for further negotiation in the light of numerous remaining
reserves. On the Distance Marketing of Financial Services Directive, which sets out minimum standards for information to be provided
by financial services providers, it was not possible to reach a qualified majority. On the proposed Directive on Food Supplements
(vitamins and minerals) which aims to harmonise rules on their authorisation, marketing and labelling, there was also no agreement
as there was no qualified majority.
Agreement was reached on a Common Approach to the key issues on the Community Patent. This defines the principles under which work
can be taken forward. The Presidency is now able to ask the European Patent Organisation to prepare for a diplomatic conference to
revise the European Patent Convention.
There was general support for a common approach on Food Law and the establishment of the European Food Authority, which would guide
future work with a view to possible political agreement in June.
The Commission gave an update on its plans to review the Consumer Credit Directive and agreement was reached on a progress report on
two draft Directives covering solvency margins for life assurance and non-life assurance undertakings. These aim to enhance the
protection of policyholders by strengthening solvency margin requirements. The Council took note of a progress report on negotiation
of the draft public procurement directives. The Presidency concluded that the Council remained committed to reaching agreement by
the end of the year.
The draft report on the Integration of Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development into Internal Market Policy for the
European Council was adopted without discussion and the Draft Council Conclusions on the Commission's 2001 review of the Internal
Market Strategy were approved. The draft Council Resolution on a strategy for the Customs Union, which is intended to improve
standards of customs services throughout the EU, taking account of changes such as enlargement, e-commerce and customs related
fraud, was adopted without discussion. The draft Council Resolution on eEurope: Information and Network Security was agreed with
minimal discussion.
There was a Presidency report of the discussions held at the informal Ministerial in Lund which dealt with key items of consumer
interest in the Internal Market and the Commission commented on the debate on the General Regulatory Framework on Good Market
Behaviour or "Duty to Trade Fairly".
There was an exchange of information on the state of play of preparations for preparing consumers for the introduction of euro notes
and coins. Belgium and Spain outlined priorities for their Presidencies (the Joint Work Programme) and the Commission presented its
latest version of the Single Market Scoreboard, which records member states performance in transposing Single Market Directives.
Over lunch on 31 May, the Council discussed joint action on the single market between EU and Russia, the Community Design Regulation
and International Exhaustion of Trademarks (Parallel Trade).

Mr. Cotter: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what risk assessments have been carried out
into the inhalation of trichlorotrifluroethane vapours; and how many accidents involving this chemical have been reported to her
Department in each of the last three years. [48007]
Angela Eagle: Trichlorotrifluroethane was reviewed in 1990 by the International Programme on Chemical Safety of the World Health
Organisation. This covered hazard identification and qualitative risk assessment of the chemical for the general population, workers
and the environment. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is also aware of reviews of trichlorotrifluroethane by the German MAK
Commission and the USA American Conference of Industrial Governmental Hygienists.
Occupational exposure to trichlorotrifluroethane is controlled under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1994.
There are occupational exposure standards for this solvent of 1000 ppm (8-hour Time Weighted Average) and 1250 ppm Short Term
Exposure Limit (15-minute reference period).
In the period 1 April 1995 to 31 March 1998 there were no cases of injury caused by trichlorotrifluroethane reported under the
Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations.
