European Parliament 8 March 2001, WRITTEN QUESTION E-0682/01 by Emilia Müller (PPE-DE) to the Commission. Inclusion of military areas in the sites notified by the Member States under the EU habitats and bird protection Directive.

Cook’s position on the use of chemicals weapons in Iraq is in stark contrast to the attitude of the EU Member States on the use of chemical weapons in Turkey. For example, the Council has still not expressed an opinion on the Turkish army’s use of chemical weapons with German warheads on the Kurdish PKK movement on 11 May 1999.
