Details

The rapporteur, Mr Cornelissen (EPP, NL), emphasised that strict measures were needed to control the transport of dangerous goods by rail, particularly in urban areas. While expressing agreement with the common position of the Council, he went on to stress that some room for manoeuvre also had to be left open to Member States as far as local transport was concerned. Similarly, in the event of an accident he wanted to see the authorities kept fully informed of the nature of the goods being transported. Finally, he called on the Commissioner to clarify the definition ‘tunnels with characteristics similar to the Channel Tunnel’. Recalling that the proposal in question was aimed at removing barriers to freedom of movement between Member States, Commissioner Kinnock recognised that harmonisation could not be achieved overnight. It was for this reason that the Commission had provided for maximum flexibility in the proposal and the Council, in turn, had added to this. The Commissioner was not at all in favour of the abundance of bureaucracy associated with Amendment No 1 since this was of no benefit whatsoever from a safety point of view, in that highly dangerous goods such as radioactive substances were already subject to notification. He also considered that Amendment No 2 was completely superfluous, given that its content was already part of the common position. The Commissioner then recognised that the political compromise on the Channel Tunnel that had been reached within the Council comprised the application of stricter standards that were justified from a safety point of view by reason of the specific characteristics of the Channel Tunnel and the Oresund Tunnel. Mr Kinnock concluded by pointing out that in his view the common position seemed to be a balanced compromise.

According to Mr KINNOCK, this proposal, which provided the Member States with a certain degree of flexibility, did not interfere with the principles of the internal market and the free movement of services. In this context, the Commission could take over Amendment No 5, which gave Member States the right to adopt rules governing the transport of dangerous goods by rail from or to the states of the former Soviet Union, outside the conditions laid down in the annexes, provided that an equivalent standard of safety was maintained. However, it rejected the following amendments as they were inappropriate: Amendment No 1 because the requirement for advance warning would only result in excessive bureaucracy and would not improve safety; Amendment No 2, which sought to prevent trains transporting dangerous goods from transporting passengers, as it would appear to be out of all proportion given that this ban was already in place for explosives and other highly dangerous substances; Amendment No 3 as it was too permissive as regards derogations; and Amendment No 4, which was not consistent with the proposal’s aim of eliminating where possible the obstacles to transport by rail.

   ESC - Economic and Social Committee: opinion, report
Details

The ESC welcomed the proposal to adapt national provisions to the international provisions in force for cross-frontier traffic, which under the RID rules already applied to 34 states that were parties to the Convention. The proposal for a directive under review was largely in keeping with the Directive on the transport of dangerous goods by road and, to correspond to this Directive [(1) Doc. COM(93)665 final - SYN 487 - OJ C 238 of 26 August 1994, page 4], the ESC expected in the near future to see a proposal for a directive from the Commission on the monitoring of the transport of dangerous goods by rail. It also urged the Commission to produce as soon as possible a draft Directive on the transport of dangerous goods by inland waterway, which was still lacking, and which would greatly facilitate intermodal transport. Finally, since the restructuring referred to by the Commission (Directive 91/440/EEC) would also give rise to differing responsibilities for the enterprises responsible for operation and those responsible for the track, the ESC considered that these different responsibilities should be addressed and defined in the Directive.

The proposal for a directive under review was largely in keeping with the Directive on the transport of dangerous goods by road and, to correspond to this Directive [(1) Doc. COM(93)665 final - SYN 487 - OJ C 238 of 26 August 1994, page 4], the ESC expected in the near future to see a proposal for a directive from the Commission on the monitoring of the transport of dangerous goods by rail. It also urged the Commission to produce as soon as possible a draft Directive on the transport of dangerous goods by inland waterway, which was still lacking, and which would greatly facilitate intermodal transport. Finally, since the restructuring referred to by the Commission (Directive 91/440/EEC) would also give rise to differing responsibilities for the enterprises responsible for operation and those responsible for the track, the ESC considered that these different responsibilities should be addressed and defined in the Directive. type: Economic and Social Committee: opinion, report body: ESC

In this context, the Commission could take over Amendment No 5, which gave Member States the right to adopt rules governing the transport of dangerous goods by rail from or to the states of the former Soviet Union, outside the conditions laid down in the annexes, provided that an equivalent standard of safety was maintained. However, it rejected the following amendments as they were inappropriate: Amendment No 1 because the requirement for advance warning would only result in excessive bureaucracy and would not improve safety; Amendment No 2, which sought to prevent trains transporting dangerous goods from transporting passengers, as it would appear to be out of all proportion given that this ban was already in place for explosives and other highly dangerous substances; Amendment No 3 as it was too permissive as regards derogations; and Amendment No 4, which was not consistent with the proposal’s aim of eliminating where possible the obstacles to transport by rail.

While expressing agreement with the common position of the Council, he went on to stress that some room for manoeuvre also had to be left open to Member States as far as local transport was concerned. Similarly, in the event of an accident he wanted to see the authorities kept fully informed of the nature of the goods being transported. Finally, he called on the Commissioner to clarify the definition ‘tunnels with characteristics similar to the Channel Tunnel’. Recalling that the proposal in question was aimed at removing barriers to freedom of movement between Member States, Commissioner Kinnock recognised that harmonisation could not be achieved overnight. It was for this reason that the Commission had provided for maximum flexibility in the proposal and the Council, in turn, had added to this. The Commissioner was not at all in favour of the abundance of bureaucracy associated with Amendment No 1 since this was of no benefit whatsoever from a safety point of view, in that highly dangerous goods such as radioactive substances were already subject to notification. He also considered that Amendment No 2 was completely superfluous, given that its content was already part of the common position. The Commissioner then recognised that the political compromise on the Channel Tunnel that had been reached within the Council comprised the application of stricter standards that were justified from a safety point of view by reason of the specific characteristics of the Channel Tunnel and the Oresund Tunnel. Mr Kinnock concluded by pointing out that in his view the common position seemed to be a balanced compromise.
