§ 225. Mr. WallaceTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what information he has regarding the status and use in other European Community and European Economic Area nations of the oil dispersants(a) Dispolene 34S, (b) Dasic Slickgone LTSW and (c) BP Enersperse 1037; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NorrisThe Department does not hold information on the status of particular dispersants in other countries. During the Braer incident it was established that Dispolene 34S was approved for use in Norway but, as in the United Kingdom, this dispersant expired from the list of approved products in September 1990 when it was re-submitted for testing by the manufacturer who had changed the proportions of the constituents and designated its dispersant Dispolene 36S—which is currently approved. It has not been necessary to withdraw previously approved stocks, which still meet current standards. The contracting parties to the Bonn agreement—United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Belgium,
