Mr. Hood: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the outcome was of the Transport Council held in Brussels on 5 December;
what the Government's stance was on the issues discussed, including its voting record; and if he will make a statement. [87253]
Mr. Jamieson: The transport segment of the Transport, Energy and Telecommunications Council was held in Brussels on 5-6 December, my
right hon. Friend Minister of State for Transport attended on the first day, and I attended on the second day, when the Prestige
incident was discussed.
The Council came to an agreement on the Single European Sky package. The aim of the four regulations making up the package is to
improve the efficiency of air traffic management across the EU, thereby reducing air traffic delays. The United Kingdom has been a
strong supporter of this package from the outset and I am very pleased to be able to report the successful outcome. Civil/military
co-operation is an important aspect of air traffic management, and the member states made a declaration agreeing to co-operate on
military aspects.
The Commission presented its recent Communication on the consequences for European aviation policy of the recent ECJ rulings on
aviation agreements. The Commission called for rapid progress on concluding an EU-US aviation agreement, the Commissioner having
written to Ministers, asking them to denounce their existing agreements with the US, which, following the ECJ rulings, the
Commission believed were no longer valid. There was general agreement that member states and the Commission needed to discuss the
consequences of the ruling urgently, including the question of a Commission mandate for negotiations with the US. COREPER was asked
to work on proposals to be put to the Council.
The Council agreed on a Regulation providing for new levels of compensation to air passengers in the event of denied boarding,
cancellation and delay. A majority of Ministers accepted three levels of compensation: 250 euros for all flights of 1,500 km or
less, 400 euros for intra-EU flights of more than 1,500 km and other flights between 1,500-3,500 km, and 600 euros for all other
flights. These compensation levels will be reviewed four years after the Regulation comes into effect. The UK voted against the
Regulation because in the absence of a link to the ticket price it could damage the interests of consumers of "no-frills" air
services. During the debate, the Minister of State had voiced concern at the impact on the services of no-frills carriers, pointing
out that the minimum compensation level was almost four times the average cost of a no-frills ticket. Following a suggestion from
some member states that the scope of the Regulation be extended to certain passengers returning to the EU from non-Community
airports, it was agreed that the Commission would publish a report on this issue.
Conclusions were agreed setting out the basis for the continuation of the Galileo satellite navigation project, including the
tendering procedure, and addressing the importance of relations with third countries. A final decision on whether to include a
Public Regulated Service (PRS) in the project is to be taken before the end- of 2003. The UK and the Netherlands entered a Minutes
Statement stressing that they could not accept any PRS that would overlay the US GPS M-Code.
The Council debated the second package of rail measures. The presidency noted the progress that had been made on this package of
five proposals, designed to progress the development of more harmonised technical standards for interoperability, harmonise safety
regulation processes, to open up access to the market for all rail freight services, and to establish a European Rail Agency. In
discussion of the main outstanding issues on the safety and interoperability proposals there was a consensus for member states to be
able to maintain safety levels above any harmonised minimum standard, and general support for extending the scope of the
interoperability requirements. The presidency concluded that work should continue on the package. Greece made clear that it hoped to
reach agreement during its presidency.
There was a debate on action to be taken following the Prestige accident. I, in common with other Ministers and the Commission,
generally welcomed the presidency's approach in the Conclusions put to the Council. I joined others in arguing for better quality
port state control inspections, and expressed the UK view that in general there should be co-ordinated EU actions leading to
improvements in the international regulatory framework. The Conclusions reaffirmed the support of member states for the
establishment of a supplementary compensation fund, developed in the IMO, to the benefit of the victims of oil pollution. This would
enhance the existing international fund. The UK's concern was that the EU should not commit itself at this stage to its own fund in
the event of failure of negotiations in the IMO, for fear of prejudicing those negotiations, and we secured an amendment to this
effect. The Conclusions also include commitments to a faster phasing out of single-hulled tankers and restrictions on those carrying
very heavy oil. There is to be an analysis of available double-hull tanker capacity. Also included are: better implementation of
port state control obligations, and possible measures by member states to prohibit within 200 miles of their coasts traffic carrying
dangerous and polluting goods.
The Council agreed on a Regulation establishing the Marco Polo programme to grant community financial aid to projects designed to
achieve the shift of freight transport from road to other modes. The programme will have a total budget of 75 million euros.
Political agreement was reached on a Regulation to prohibit the use of environmentally damaging anti- fouling paints on ships, in
accordance with the latest IMO agreements.
Conclusions were agreed on the integration of environment and sustainable development into transport policy, a continuation of the
process begun at the Cardiff European Council in 1998.
The Council debated the issue of Alpine transit and the ecopoint system for transit through Austria. Agreement could not be reached,
and the presidency submitted the dossier to the General Affairs and External Relations Council.
During the Council, Ministers signed the Agreement on Maritime Transport between the European Community and its member states, and
the People's Republic of China.

Yvette Cooper: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has been introduced into the routine programme in the US and since the vaccine was
licensed there has been little information on its national impact, other than in the population that took part in the clinical
trials. Nevertheless, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has been made aware of these results. Similarly,
reviews of the epidemiology of pneumococcal disease in England and Wales have been presented to the JCVI, along with progress
reports on UK studies to evaluate the suitability of this vaccine for this country. There are only limited data available on
pneumococcal disease in those under two years from other European countries.
