12. Considers that there are different national approaches to assessing the effects of aircraft crashes on the safety of NPPs; notes that ‘aircraft crashes have not been considered explicitly as an initiating event in the safety assessments’, and that only their effects have been outlined in the stress test specifications; regrets, however, the fact that only four Member States have included such assessments in their stress test reports; notes, nonetheless, that the stress test specifications state that ‘the assessment of consequences of loss of safety functions is relevant also if the situation is provoked by indirect initiating events for instance (...) air ...[+++]plane crash’; also notes that, given that this risk falls primarily within the area of Member States’ national security concerns and, therefore, sovereignty, an Ad Hoc Group on Nuclear Security (AHGNS) has been set up with the task of examining the issue in detail and publishing its conclusions; is aware that further exchanges between Member States are planned on that subject within appropriate forums such as the European Nuclear Security Regulators Association (ENSRA); asks all interested stakeholders, including Member States, the Commission, ENSREG, ENSRA and NPP operators, to work together in order to anticipate and agree a common approach to dealing with the risk of aircraft crashes, while recognising that this risk falls within the area of Member States’ national security concerns and sovereignty;

Brussels, 17 November 2011 – With about 25,000 patients dying per year in the EU from infections caused by drug resistant bacteria and related costs of over 1.5 billion euros in healthcare expenses and productivity losses , antimicrobial resistance is a growing health problem in the EU.

F. whereas antimicrobial resistance is an important, largely unresolved, issue which has become a threat to public health in Europe and globally, resulting in longer, more complicated treatments, a diminution of quality of life, a greater risk of deaths (25 000 patients die each year in the EU from an infection caused by resistant micro-organisms), extra healthcare costs and productivity losses of at least EUR 1,5 billion per year;

17. Emphasises the important role of supply side energy efficiency ; points out that transmission and distribution, contribute considerably to energy loss (notably in generators and transformers, as well as those resulting from excessively high resistances during transmission) and that shortening excessively long conversion chains for converting one type of energy into another electricity represents a major source of savings; stresses the role that microgeneration and decentralised and diversified generation might play in guaranteeing supply security and reducing losses; considers that incentives should be created aimed at improving i ...[+++]nfrastructure and asks the Commission to make proposals to unlock the untapped savings potential, including by introducing sustainability reports for power stations and taking measures to facilitate the retrofitting and modernisation of power stations;

The association's concerns include: the risk of disease transfer from net pens to wild stocks; risk of disease introduction from the importation of exotic species' eggs and milt; the increased risk of the transfer of common diseases among domestic species; the loss of access to traditional, commercial, recreational, and aboriginal fishing grounds; pollution of habitat from fish sewage; government funding and subsidies for aquaculture resulting in fewer financial and human resources available for research assessment and the management of wild fish resources; injury, stress, and mortality to marine animals caused by net entanglement and the use of acoustic deterrent devices; the impacts on wild resources from drugs and pesticides used ...[+++]on aquaculture sites; genetic interaction between wild and escaped farm fish; competition for food between wild and escaped farm fish; the losses of wild fish, especially small juveniles consumed by net pen fish; the loss of juvenile habitat; parasite infestation; the presence of farms altering the availability of natural plankton and feeds and creating a hostile environment for wild fish larvae and juvenile fish; increased disease susceptibility due to increased stress levels among pen fish; risk to human health from increased utilization of antibiotics and other drugs used in farm fish; and the risk and impact of farm fish becoming resistant to antibiotics.
