The Committee takes note of the Government’s report and the abundant documentation attached. It notes in particular with satisfaction the information that one of the awards from the European Good Practice Award 2005 was given to a Danish project about noise in agriculture and that more information about the project is available on www.stojiilandbruget.dk. It also notes that the Sector Working Environment Council issues many publications about improving health and safety in agriculture and has started many initiatives to improve health and safety conditions. The more recent initiatives are available on www.barjordtilbord.dk.

The Committee also notes with interest that the National Working Environment Authority has issued a report on the judgements regarding working environment legislation delivered in 2000 by the Danish High Court pointing out that the majority of these cases were regarding danger of accidents, for example working with dangerous machinery, defects in transport equipment and cranes, illegal handling of items, danger of falling and collision, as well as danger of explosion and fire. Information on relevant judgements by the Danish High Court for the period 2000-05 are available on the web site of the National Working Environment Authority.
