    WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3268/97 by María ESTEVAN BOLEA to the Commission. Used tyres

    Official Journal C 174 , 08/06/1998 P. 0032


    WRITTEN QUESTION E-3268/97 by María Estevan Bolea (PPE) to the Commission (20 October 1997)

    Subject: Used tyres

    How many used tyres are burned at EU plants? Could the Commission give a breakdown by Member State?

    Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (3 December 1997)

    A study on waste statistics carried out for the Commission shows the following numbers of used tyres were incinerated in the Community in 1995.

    >TABLE>

    No distinction is made in these figures between those which were incinerated with energy recovery and those incinerated without energy recovery.

    The United Kingdom incinerated 102 000 tonnes of used tyres with energy recovery in 1996 ((United Kingdom Industry/Government Scrap Tyre Working Group 2nd Annual Report. )). Official figures are not available to the Commission for Spain, Ireland, Luxembourg or Finland.
