Official Journal 192 E , 14/08/2003 P. 0223 - 0223
WRITTEN QUESTION E-0929/03 by Jorge Moreira Da Silva (PPE-DE) to the Commission (24 March 2003) Subject: Legionnaire's disease There is a direct link between the poor maintenance of water heating and air conditioning systems in public buildings and the incidence of extremely serious cases of pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacterium. 1. Does the Commission believe that national legislation on the construction and maintenance of public buildings ensures that the public are protected against Legionnaire's disease? Which countries have legislation which does offer these guarantees? 2. Will the Commission prepare European legislative initiatives aimed at imposing common rules for the maintenance of public buildings which are designed to protect public health? Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (25 April 2003) The Commission is collecting the information it needs to answer the question. It will communicate its findings as soon as possible.
