WRITTEN QUESTION E-1663/02 by Lousewies van der Laan (ELDR) to the Commission. Directive 92/14/EEC and noisy Chapter 2 aeroplanes.
Official Journal 309 E , 12/12/2002 P. 0148 - 0148
WRITTEN QUESTION E-1663/02 by Lousewies van der Laan (ELDR) to the Commission (11 June 2002) Subject: Directive 92/14/EEC and noisy Chapter 2 aeroplanes Under Article 2 of Directive 92/14/EEC(1) Member States must ensure that from 1 April 2002 aeroplanes which are not equipped with hushkits, as referred to in Chapter 2 of Annex 16 to the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) Convention, cannot operate at airports situated in their territory. 1. Does the Commission know whether all the Member States are applying this provision? 2. Is the Commission aware of airports which are at present still authorising such planes to operate? Which airports are they? 3. What action will the Commission take against the Member States and the airports which in practice are not applying the directive? (1) OJ L 76, 23.3.1992, p. 21. Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission (1 August 2002) The Commission has been informed that there are some airports which are not complying fully with Council Directive 92/14/EEC of 2 March 1992 on the limitation of the operation of aeroplanes covered by Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, second edition (1988)(1). The Commission is currently examining this information. In particular, it appears that the authorities in Greece have authorised some Boeing 737 model 200 aeroplanes to operate between Athens and the island of Rhodes as of 1 April 2002. Consequently, on 17 July 2002, the Commission decided to send a letter of formal notice to the Greek authorities for failure to comply with Article 2 of Directive 92/14/EEC. No airport is allowed to authorise flights with Chapter 2 aeroplanes. Exemptions may only be granted by the Member States, and then only within the highly restrictive conditions described in Article 8 of Directive 92/14/EEC. This Article provides for decisions in individual cases according to the characteristics of the specific flight, which excludes any possibility of airports benefiting from special treatment. The Commission will continue to ask Member States to inform it of progress in the implementation of this Directive in their respective territories. As in any other sphere, any failure to fulfil the obligations of the national authorities could lead to infringement proceedings. (1) OJ L 76, 23.3.1992.
