Definition: Conduct disorder, usually occurring in younger children, primarily characterized by markedly defiant, disobedient, disruptive behaviour that does not include delinquent acts or the more extreme forms of aggressive or dissocial behaviour. The disorder requires that the overall criteria for F91.- be met; even severely mischievous or naughty behaviour is not in itself sufficient for diagnosis. Caution should be employed before using this category, especially with older children, because clinically significant conduct disorder will usually be accompanied by dissocial or aggressive behaviour that goes beyond mere defiance, disobe ...[+++]dience, or disruptiveness.

Definition: Conduct disorder involving dissocial or aggressive behaviour (and not merely oppositional, defiant, disruptive behaviour), in which the abnormal behaviour is entirely, or almost entirely, confined to the home and to interactions with members of the nuclear family or immediate household.

I'd like to point out to committee members that the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as a result of the passage of the Food Quality Protection Act, an amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act, is required to develop a screening program for implementation by August 1999 to determine whether substances have an effect on humans that are endocrine disrupting or hormone disrupting.

A. whereas the European Parliament needs to give a political response to the debate on endocrine disruption and to the Commission communication and to give a signal as to the direction the debate needs to take to be translated into action; Parliament also needs to reflect public concern,

17. Reiterates its request that the Commission must, in co-operation with Member States' authorities, monitor the levels of "releases” of endocrine disrupters into the environment by requesting industry to report which chemicals are put on the market and in what quantities;
