EU Commission EMF Stakeholder Dialogue
Group in Brussels - Wednesday 20th February.
Eileen O'Connor has suggested wide circulation of her report as
follows:
Dear All,
Please see attached copy of my presentation and also see
attached copy of Professor Yury Grigorieve’s presentation. We
gave these presentations at the EU Commission EMF Stakeholder
Dialogue Group in Brussels on Wednesday 20th February.
Also see attached photographs. One photograph of me with
Professor Yury Grigoriev presenting me with a new hot off the
press Russian book containing the most important research in the
last 50 years on EMFs and a picture of me, Professor Yury
Grigoriev and Dr Isaac Jamieson before entering the room at the
Commission.
Eileen O’Connor’s report following a meeting at the EU
Commission meeting
20th February, 2013
Board members from the International EMF Alliance, Eileen
O’Connor, Alex Swinkels and Kerstin Stenberg along with Dr Isaac
Jamieson provided talks and evidence towards the precautionary
approach to wireless communication from mobile phones, phone
masts, wifi at a Stakeholder Group at the EU Commission,
Brussels.
It was encouraging to hear that many countries in Europe such as
France, Germany, Holland, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria and
even countries such as Russia are engaging with the public and
NGO’s in an attempt to understand and help people suffering with
electrosensitivity, while working towards getting a clearer
picture regarding radiation exposure levels. However, the UK is
unfortunately not making any progress or attempts to address
this serious issue.
Eileen said “the UK Radiation Research Trust and many other
charities based in the UK are no longer engaging with UK Health
Protection Agency (HPA). The HPA are shamefully lagging behind
the rest of Europe and even the world and appear to be playing
out time. Countless discussion groups with the HPA have failed
to reach any agreements with NGO’s. The HPA have demonstrated
that they are not prepared to listen.”
People suffering with electrosensitive (ES) symptoms in the UK
are told that it is nocebo i.e. not a real effect, it is all in
the mind. This could possibly be a dangerous approach to take. Could the HPA be opening themselves
up to litigation with regards to the balance of probability in
the courts towards neglect and duty of care?
The HPA appear to be taking the “don’t rock the boat
approach, while simply playing lip service to the Government.”
How can those sitting in positions of power command any respect
when they are simply ignoring the calls for help from people
suffering with electrosensitivity or cancer and living in fear
near phone masts and being forced to send their children to
schools full of wifi signals?
Meanwhile, the French Government are now trying to identify
medical solutions, treatment and care for people suffering with
ES and are studying anyone who claims they suffer with this
condition by asking them to participate in attending one of the
24 hospitals equipped to study this. The Dutch are also
investigating this condition by trying to find a diagnostic tool
for EHS and Russia has set up rooms in hospitals to diagnose and
treat this condition. The Commission are keen to encourage all
member states to work together to help find solutions and solve
this issue. The UK approach of “head in the sand” is clearly not
an approach to follow.
It is also evident that virtually no one is monitoring or
measuring the radiation levels in Europe. The mobile phone
industry are even allowed to self-regulate in the UK.
There is a massive gap here to create a whole new industry, we
need to train engineers to help create an independent radiation
monitoring service. This could create a whole new industry and
jobs.
The Chairman of Russian National Committee on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, and member of Int. Advisory
Committee of WHO "EMF and Health” Professor Yury Grigoriev gave
a powerful presentation and also offered his expertiseto
help using his skills and life time knowledge. He has wide
experience of research on issues surrounding this problem "
Ionizing radiation and around 40 years experience dealing with
Non-Ionizing radiations and health. He also dealt with the
Chernobyl accident.
Professor Grigoriev ended his presentation saying:
“Full information should be given to the population".
Current research for mobile communication, is indicating an
increased risk for health and the public must be made aware of
the lack of scientific knowledge for long term microwave
exposure. The population should be made aware of his advice to
appreciate what he calls the probable risk for adverse health
effects from uncontrolled use of mobile communication. He also
said “Of course, we must remind people that their entire body is
also continuously exposed round-the-clock to extra exposures
associated with EMF base stations and Wi-Fi. Mobile
communication should become a temporarily service of selection.
Because of the danger inherent in microwave technology, and the
failure of regulatory standards to protect the population in
general and particularly children, mobile communication should
be a choice for short term, temporary use so that we may
preserve human health.”
We need to appeal to our MPs and Government Ministers and
bypass the HPA and appeal for them to help identify diagnostic
tool and treatment and protection for people suffering with ES
symptoms, while dealing with the wider issues to find a safer
way forward.
Eileen will be following up on Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith’s
invitation to deliver a copy of the Russian book on the most
important research on EMFs and said she is looking forward to
delivering this message into the heart of the UK Government.
They need to listen to the reports about ES, Cancer etc and
firmly debate this issue now rather than leaving this serious
issue to be dealt with by charitable organisations.
