Mr. Hood: :To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the outcome was of the Environment Council on
25 June; what the Government's stance was on each issue discussed, including its voting record; and if she will make a statement.
[65276]
Margaret Beckett: :I represented the UK at Environment Council on 25 June, accompanied by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State
for the Environment. The Council made real progress on a range of important issues.
The Council approved a Decision, on behalf of the European Community, to ratify the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. The UK
supported Community ratification of this important instrument. The Protocol establishes clear and specific international rules on
the import and export of genetically modified organisms (GMOs): prompt ratification by the EU will help secure its entry into force.
Council Conclusions were adopted paving the way for a thematic strategy on the sustainable use of soil. The UK supported the
Conclusions, which invite the Commission to produce a Community Strategy and, where appropriate, general principles for assessing
and managing threats to soil but, with France, Austria and Denmark, made a written declaration on the importance of respecting and
subsidiarity principle.
Conclusions were also adopted emphasising the need to take measures to halt biodiversity loss by 2010, and welcoming the outcome of
the Sixth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ministerial Declaration made there. The
Conclusions also suggested next steps in the implementation of the Habitats Directive and management of the Natura 2000 network.
Brief Council Conclusions were adopted on progress on ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. These expressed disappointment at
Australia's recent withdrawal from the Protocol and urged other parties who have not yet done so to ratify as soon as possible.
Ministers held general orientation debates on three subjects: the proposed amendments to the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive
recovery and recycling targets, the proposed revision of the Seveso II Directive, and a proposed Environmental Liability Directive.
On packaging and packaging waste, the UK intervened in support of a compromise Presidency text and registered a Parliamentary
Scrutiny reserve. The compromise text maintains the Commission's minimum overall targets, and broadly maintains their proposed
material specific targets (plastic recycling target increased to 22.5 per cent), but extends the deadline for Member States to meet
those targets from 2006 and 2008 and removes the maximum target for recovery. The European Parliament first reading is expected to
be in September, and so Council is likely to agree a Common Position in October.
Member States, including the UK, supported the Presidency compromise text on proposed amendments to the Seveso II Directive. The
Directive aims to prevent major accidents involving dangerous substances. The proposed amendments would alter the classification
system for explosives, change threshold quantities for substances dangerous to the environment, and for carcinogens, and add new
named carcinogens to those already listed in the Directive. France proposed lower thresholds for reject ammonium nitrate, following
an accident at Toulouse in September 2001 when a quantity of ammonium nitrate exploded. This change was agreed with UK support.
Again following the European Parliament first reading in early July, the Council is likely to agree a Common Position in October.
During the debate on environmental liability, Ministers focused on the issues of financial security and subsidiary responsibility.
The UK intervened arguing that subsidiary responsibility was not consistent with the polluter pays principle and that the Council
should not make a decision on the appropriate system of financial security until the precise scope of the Directive was clear. The
Presidency concluded that Member States were divided on these issues but that a majority favoured both some form of compulsory
financial security and some form of subsidiary responsibility for Member States.
The Council took note of COREPER's conclusions in support for Environment Council in its contributions on follow-up to the EU
Sustainable Development Strategy, including if necessary the establishment of a group of high-level officials, and on co-ordination
between the sectors concerned by sustainable development.
The Presidency gave a progress report on the proposed emissions trading Directive and invited views. The UK expressed support for a
Community emissions trading scheme. The Presidency also updated Council on a proposal for a Regulation concerning traceability and
labelling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and on the Decision to ratify the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed
Consent Procedure (PIC) for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade, and its associated implementing
Regulation.
Under Any Other Business, Sweden drew the Council's attention to the progress made by industry in developing technology to reduce
emissions from diesel cars and suggested that community rules needed revising to reflect this. Portugal presented its national
strategy for Sustainable Development. The Netherlands called for a proposal accelerating the phase out of Chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs). Germany raised the issue of co-existence of GMO and conventional crops. Belgium asked the Commission for an update on the
forthcoming white Paper in Integrated Product Policy. The UK asked whether the Commission has decided on its intended legislative
approach for Fluorinated gases. The Commission replied that it was still considering various options for legislation, and would make
a proposal by the end of 2002.

Mr. Peter Ainsworth: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans she has to prohibit the use of
partly and fully-fluorinated hydrocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride in commercial and industrial processes and consumer products; and
if she will make a statement. [56041]
Margaret Beckett: [holding answer 13 May 2002]: The UK Climate Change Programme published in November 2000 set out our position on
hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride. Currently, there are no plans to prohibit the general use of
fluorinated gases.
Under the European Climate Change Programme (ECCP), the Environment Council, at its meeting of 12 December 2001, "Welcomed the
intention of the (European) Commission, as announced in the ECCP Communication, to make a proposal for a Framework Directive on
Fluorinated gases, including containment of emissions from stationary and mobile sources, monitoring of quantities of fluorinated
gases being placed on the market as well as marketing and use restrictions, where appropriate, for relevant applications where
viable alternatives are available and if improvement of containment is not feasible, taking into account existing voluntary
initiatives by some fluorinated gases industry sectors, where the development of alternatives is still ongoing."
