As the author is not present, Question No 33 lapses.

As they deal with the same subject, the following questions will be taken together:

Question No 34 by Jens-Peter Bonde (H-0401/94)

Subject: Environment guarantee

Will the Commission allow Denmark to invoke the 'environment guarantee' in Article 100a(4) to preserve existing legislation on foodstuffs in Denmark with regard to the three special directives on sweeteners, colouring agents and various other additives and existing legislation on pesticides and creosote?

Will the Commission allow Denmark to introduce new provisions with reference to Article 100a(4), should the Danish authorities wish to prohibit an additive or restrict its use in comparison with what is permitted pursuant to EU rules?

and Question No 35 by Ulla Sandbæk (H-0457/94)

Subject: Environment guarantee (Article 100a(4))

How many notifications has the Commission received pursuant to Article 100a(4), first paragraph, of the Treaty on European Union?

Which Member States have submitted applications in this respect, were the notifications confirmed or not, what criteria were applied in reaching a decision and where is the Commission's decision published?

Did the Court of Justice hear or rule on any of these cases? If so, which?

Will the Commission also say what cases are pending or have been brought before the Court pursuant to Article 100a(4), final paragraph? What were the criteria on which the judgment was based and where are those cases published?
