". – The Commission refers the honourable Member to the statement given by Commissioner Wallström to the plenary session of this House on 17 January. Since that date the Commission has convened a meeting of the group of experts established under Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty to give an opinion on the possible health consequences of the use of depleted uranium. The report of that group will be ready in a few weeks' time. The World Health Organisation will also issue a report on the subject in the near future. The Commission will then consider appropriate action to be taken in the light of the scientific evidence produced by these activities.
In response to the particular questions of the honourable Member, the Member States of the Union have not informed the Commission of their actions taken following receipt of the Regional Environmental Centre report. The Commission has no plans to initiate medical examination programmes. As the honourable Member will know, it is a regrettable fact that the people of the region face a variety of threats to health from several sources and some of those threats are obviously environmental in origin. Within the means at its disposal the Commission is working with the United Nations mission in Kosovo
through the European Agency for Reconstruction, to eliminate these threats according to priorities for intervention."@en1
