Answer given by Mr Borg on behalf of the Commission

1. Even if these two diseases do not have their own codes in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) — 10th revision, some codes exist to report influence of electricity and chemicals on health. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is the only responsible institution to maintain and revise the ICD classification. The 11th version of the ICD is currently under preparation and Member States of the EU, which are also Member States of WHO, have the opportunity to contribute to the revision process. The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to WHO’s website for further information on the current state of this revision: http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/revision/en/2. Concerning question 2, the Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to Written Question E-002445/2013[1].
