22. 1. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 21/117 Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission (14 July 1997) The Commissionís proposal for a Council regulation amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin has been split into two parts. The first part has been adopted by the Council on 3 March 1997 as Council Regulation (EC) No 434/97 (1). Work is continuing in the Council on the remaining part of the Commissionís proposal which is left unchanged and contains Article 4a and the third paragraph of Article 14. At this time the opinion of the Parliament is the essential requirement to continue the legislative procedure. The Commission will not draw up a new proposal at this stage of the procedure, but wait for the outcome of the discussions in Council and Parliament. (1) OJ L 67, 7. 3. 1997. (98/C 21/228) WRITTEN QUESTION E-1906/97 by Amedeo Amadeo (NI) to the Commission (4 June 1997) Subject: Dangerous goods › vessels With reference to the Proposal for a Council Directive amending Directive 93/75/EEC concerning minimum requirements for vessels bound for or leaving Community ports and carrying dangerous or polluting goodsí (COM(96) 0455 final › 96/0231 SYN) (1), will the Commission ensure that Directive 93/75/EEC (2), as amended by the proposal for a directive in question, is applied not only to vessels bound for or leaving Community ports and anchored in the territorial waters of an EU Member State, but also to all vessels in transit in those territorial waters? (1) OJ C 334, 8. 11. 1996, p. 11. (2) OJ L 247, 5. 10. 1993, p. 19. Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (9 July 1997) The Commission agrees that the existing notification requirements applicable to ships bound for or leaving Community ports under Directive 93/75/EEC should be extended to cover ships in transit off the coasts of Member States. However, the Commission believes that this extension should not be introduced through modification of the existing Directive 93/75/EEC, since notification by ships in transit is already the main objective of the proposal for a Council directive concerning the setting-up of a European ship reporting system (Eurorep), adopted by the Commission on 17th December 1993 (1). This proposal is still on the table of the Council. (1) COM(93) 647 modified by COM(94) 220 final › OJ C 193, 16. 7. 1994.
