Official Journal C 102 , 03/04/1998 P. 0098
WRITTEN QUESTION E-2707/97 by Glenys Kinnock (PSE) to the Commission (1 September 1997) Subject: European fire-fighting practices Does the Commission have any jurisdiction over the methods used in Member States to prepare fire-fighters for rescue operations? Does the Commission have any data on the practices adopted in Member States when an individual fire-fighter is endeavouring to rescue an unconscious victim and remove him/her to a place of safety? Answer given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (24 September 1997) The Commission does not have any legal competence in the field of training within the national rescue services. However, the Commission has in the past supported training activities organised by Member States at Community level using budget line B4-3300. In this framework, an exchange of experience and information among the participants took place.
