WRITTEN QUESTION E-3888/00

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(13 December 2000)

Subject: Protection for shipwrecks

British Navy ships that were lost at sea during the war are nowadays often looted for souvenirs by commercial operators and used as playgrounds by leisure divers.

What plans does the Commission have for protecting these shipwrecks from such activities?

Would the Commission consider giving them the same status as war graves?

Answer given by Mr Prodi on behalf of the Commission

(24 January 2001)

The matter to which reference is made does not fall within the jurisdiction of the Community.
