April
2, 2009 - European
Parliament Resolution of 2 April 2009 on health concerns
associated with electromagnetic fields. The report was adopted
with 559 votes in favor, 22 against and 8 abstentions.
The placement of antennas, mobile phone masts and high-voltage
power lines should be negotiated between industry actors,
public authorities and residents' associations in order to
minimize health risks and legal action cases. This will also
ensure that EMF-transmitting devices are kept clear of schools,
crèches, retirement homes and health care institutions.
In addition to this, the House recommends that mobile telephone
operators should negotiate to share infrastructure in order
to reduce "the exposure of the public to EMFs."
Aggressive marketing campaigns by telephone operators, including
"the sale of mobile phones designed solely for children
or free call time packages aimed at teenagers" are also
condemned by MEPs.

of Mobile Telephones – Children Belong to a Group of
Increased Risk.” Opinion of the Russian National
Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
September
4, 2008 - European
Parliament Recommends Stricter Safety Limits for Cell Phones
and Electromagnetic Fields. See
paragraph J and Recommendations 15, 17, 21, 22, 23, 34 and
35.
April 2008 – Russian National Committee
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (RNCNIRP) Recommendation
to Limit Children’s Use of Cell Phones.
The
German Federal Government (Bundesregierung) recommends, in
general, keeping the personal radiation exposure from high
frequency electromagnetic fields as low as possible, that
is to say, i.e. to prefer conventional wired connections,
if the use of wireless-supported solutions can be avoided.
This document
contains the response to an inquiry put forth by members of
the Germany parliament entitled: “Radiation exposure
due to wireless Internet-Networks.” The response comes
in the name of the German Federal Government (Bundesregierung)
conveyed with a letter from the German Federal Ministries
for the Environment, Nature Protection, and Reactor Safety
(Bundesministeriums für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit.)
