Report on depleted uranium
Minister says links to soldier cancer remain unclear
(ANSA) - Rome, October 9 - It remains unclear whether exposure to depleted uranium (DU) is to blame for high numbers of Italian soldiers contracting cancer, Defence Minister Arturo Parisi said on Tuesday.
Addressing the Senate's DU investigation committee, the minister said alleged DU poisoning remained an "area of complete uncertainty".
Because of its density, DU is put on the tip of shells and bullets which are then more effective and can even pierce armour-plating on tanks.
A DU-tipped weapon goes through the object it strikes before erupting in a burning vapour cloud, which then settles as chemically poisonous and radioactive dust.
"We are moving in an extremely limited sector of human understanding, where the precise link between cause and effect has yet to be ascertained," Parisi said. He stressed that the ministry was "keen to explore every scientifically plausible hypothesis", and said "all reasonable precautions" were being taken to protect Italian soldiers. Producing the ministry's first precise statistics on cancer cases since the DU issue exploded six years ago, Parisi said 255 soldiers serving in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq or Lebanon between 1996 and 2006 had later developed cancer. Thirty seven have died.
There were 1,427 cases of cancer among soldiers serving in Italy during the same period, he said.
Parisi admitted there had been a delay in producing ministry statistics on fatal diseases for this period but said a change in data collection methods meant an "accurate database" was now being developed. In addition, Parisi said next year's budget earmarked 10 million euros for the creation of a defence ministry centre to identify the precise causes of cancer in soldiers who had served abroad.
A further 170 million euros allocated to state employees harmed in the line of duty would also be available to soldiers thought to have contracted cancer from contact with DU, he said, even though a definite connection has not yet been proved. MPs QUESTION ACCURACY OF MINISTER'S STATISTICS.
But following the hearing, questions were raised over the accuracy of the statistics provided by Parisi. "I fear the minister's figures refer only to the number of soldiers who fell ill while in active service, and failed to take account of those who had left the military," said Tana de Zuleta, a Green MP in the majority coalition. "I think more information is required on the ministry's methods for collecting data, given the enormous discrepancy between its figures and those provided by associations representing victims' families". Senate committee chairperson Lidia Menapace, another majority figure, also cast doubt on the statistics. She said the ministry's list of cancer cases was much shorter than suggested by other sources. "Although any number is too high, if the ministry figures turn out to be accurate I would be happy," she added. The committee, which will provide its own report into the DU allegations by the end of the year, is the latest in a series of bodies tasked with investigating the claims. The DU issue surfaced early in 2001 after Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands reported a spate of cancer cases among soldiers who took part in peacekeeping operations in Kosovo and Bosnia.
During the 1999 Kosovo war, US planes are reported to have fired more than 30,000 rounds of DU ammunition at Serbian targets while in 1995, US bombers fired almost 11,000 rounds of the same type of ammunition in Bosnia.
Fears were fuelled in April 2002 when it emerged that a number of children fathered by Italian Balkan veterans had been born with genetic malformations.
At the height of the DU scare the European Parliament, as well as Italy, called for a moratorium on DU ammunition. But a preliminary 2001 Italian government report said there was no evidence of a link between DU weaponry and the cancer cases encountered in Italian Balkan veterans.
Another report commissioned by the defence ministry and issued in June 2002 did however admit that there were an "excessive" number of Hodgkin's disease victims among former Balkan peacekeepers.
The report, drawn up by an independent scientific committee, said it had found 12 cases of the lymphoma among former Balkan servicemen where only five would have been expected applying the normal statistics.
DU has been a source of controversy for more than 15 years following claims that its contamination of battlefields in Iraq during the 1990 Gulf War caused widespread cancer among Iraqi civilians and contributed to health problems among allied military veterans.
Both the US and Britain acknowledge that DU dust can be dangerous if inhaled but insist the danger is short-lived and localised.
