star this property answer text <p>A proposal for the technical pillar of the Fourth Railway Package was subject to endorsement by Member States on 30 June at a meeting of the Permanent Representatives Committee (COREPER). In line with Government policy, the UK delegation was unable to support the item on the grounds that the proposals were not consistent with the UK’s preferred approach on the use of secondary legislation powers and the use of delegated acts. Notwithstanding our position on this issue, officials were able to offer the UK’s general support for the Package as a whole.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Government is not aware of any such data. However, Public Health England advise that the Committee on the Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) have reviewed published data in 2007 and in 2013 data from four new research projects undertaken by Cranfield University relating to the cabin air environment, ill-health in aircraft crews and the possible relationship to smoke/fume events in aircraft.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Although this review focused on cabin crew the possibility of exposure of the passengers to fumes was considered. Passengers, and by extrapolation an unborn child, which spend much less time than crew in the environment are much less likely to be exposed to rare occurrences of fume episodes. Furthermore, the exposures detected in cabin air were similar to or lower than occupational (workplace) short-term exposure limits. Workplace exposure limits take into account susceptible groups and therefore would protect pregnant women.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>The Regulation as initially proposed by the European Commission in May 2013 was ill-suited to the UK’s thoroughly competitive ports industry and in that form would impose unacceptable regulatory burdens. Very significant improvements were, however, secured by the UK, working with other Member States, in the Council General Approach agreed in October 2014. The matter is now under consideration in the European Parliament. The Government will continue to scrutinize proposed amendments very carefully with a view to ensuring that UK trade, ports and shipping interests are not damaged by this legislation.</p><p> </p> more like this
