WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3298/98 by Paul RÜBIG to the Commission. Directive on the construction of shooting ranges
Official Journal C 142 , 21/05/1999 P. 0117
WRITTEN QUESTION E-3298/98 by Paul Rübig (PPE) to the Commission (9 November 1998) Subject: Directive on the construction of shooting ranges It is understood that the Commission is planning a directive setting out uniform rules on the construction of shooting ranges throughout Europe. Besides safety requirements, new financial provisions concerning high security deposits are also under discussion. A deposit of this kind might threaten the construction of a new shooting range. In view of the subsidiarity principle laid down in Article 3b of the EC Treaty it has to be asked how such a directive can be adopted at EU level? Is it in fact true that a Commission initiative aimed at harmonising the construction of shooting ranges is planned? If so, what are the details? How does the Commission justify the inclusion of this sphere in its terms of reference? Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (6 January 1999) The Commission has no plans for a directive setting out uniform rules on the construction of shooting ranges.
