I et ønske om at opfylde betingelserne for medlemskab af EU har Polen nøje fulgt fællesskabsbestemmelserne og tester således for BSE.
In a desire to meet the conditions of membership for the EU, Poland has rigorously applied Community regulations and so is testing for BSE.
Dette sker ud fra hensynet til EU-borgernes sundhed, idet disse måske støder på polsk oksekød og polske oksekødsprodukter.
This is being done out of concern for the health of EU citizens who might encounter Polish beef and beef products.
I mellemtiden er der ikke kommet noget ud af et meget stort antal personers engagement og pligttro indsats i forbindelse med to års solidt, hårdt og intensivt arbejde med en udbudsprocedure.
In the meantime, the commitment of a large number of individuals and the dedicated efforts of two years of solid, hard and intensive work via tender procedure have come to nothing.
Rapporten om aktiviteterne under Phare-programmet, hvormed hovedformålet var at sikre forskning i BSE hos husdyrbestande, blev afvist af Kommissionens repræsentant, som også annullerede udbuddet.
The report on the activities under the PHARE programme, the main aim of which was to ensure research into BSE in livestock, was rejected by the European Commission Representative, which also cancelled the tender.
Resultatet var en uheldig vending i situationen for Polen, som var tvunget til at anmode Kommissionens repræsentant om at gå med til at genåbne udbuddet og forlænge kontraktperioden eller om at gå med til at indlede en åben udbudsprocedure med en kortere frist.
The resulting situation caused an undesirable turnaround of affairs for Poland, which was compelled to ask the European Commission Representative to agree to reopening the tender and extending the contract period, or to agree to initiating an open tender with a shortened notice period.
Accepteres dette, vil det uden tvivl føre til udførelse af alle slags proceduremæssige aktiviteter under enormt tidspres, og det vil være nødvendigt at stille midler til rådighed fra Polens eget budget, som oprindeligt var blevet afsat til andre formål i forbindelse med bekæmpelsen af smitsomme sygdomme.
If agreed to, this will unquestionably lead to all manner of procedural activities with huge time pressures and funds will have to be committed from Poland's own budget which had been allocated to other objectives linked to the fight against contagious diseases.
Dette vil fremkalde et midlertidigt budgetunderskud for Veterinærinspektoratet og samtidig betyde et meget kraftigt fald (på over 25 %) i midlerne til forebyggelse af andre dyresygdomme.
This will cause a temporary budget shortfall for the Veterinary Inspectorate, whilst also drastically reducing (by over 25%) the funds for the prevention of other animal diseases.
Er det på denne måde, at samarbejdet mellem organer med fælles ansvar bør fungere?
Is this how cooperation between jointly responsible bodies should operate?
Er dette den eneste form for bistand, som Polen kan forvente fra Kommissionen?
Is this the only form of assistance that Poland can expect from the Commission?

Rådet burde være bekendt med, at det for nylig blev opdaget, at der var placeret en sofistikeret skjult aflytningsanordning på mit valgkredskontor i Belfast, og at man ifølge forlydender i de britiske medier har indrømmet, at denne anordning var placeret med den britiske efterretningstjenestes tilladelse.
As the Council should be aware, a sophisticated covert listening device was recently discovered in my constituency office in Belfast, and the British media reports that an admission has been made that this device was placed with the authorisation of British Intelligence.

Om: Administrativ reform af de europæiske institutioner
Subject: Administrative reform of the European institutions
Meningsmålinger viser, at borgerne ser de europæiske institutioner som store bureaukratiske centre, der har betydelig magt, og som drives med mange af skatteydernes penge.
Opinion polls show that citizens see the European institutions as big bureaucratic centres which have a lot of power and are run with a lot of taxpayers’ money.
Prodi-Kommissionen begyndte at behandle dette problem, og kommissionsmedlem Kinnock fik ansvar for en administrativ reform af de europæiske institutioner.
The Prodi Commission began to tackle this problem and Commissioner Kinnock was put in charge of administrative reform of the European institutions.
Er "Kinnock-reformen" overhovedet blevet indledt?
Has the ‘Kinnock reform’ even begun?
Er den under udvikling?
Is it in progress?
Eller er den måske allerede blevet afsluttet?
Or has it perhaps already been completed?
Og hvis den er blevet afsluttet, hvilke virkninger har den så haft?
And if it has been completed, what effects has it had?

Det er nu muligt at anmode om støtte fra Den Europæiske Fond for Regionaludvikling og Den Europæiske Socialfond til indkøb af medicinsk udstyr, udstyr til sygehusstuer og ombygning af hospitaler inden for rammerne af "regionale infrastrukturer for sundhedsvæsenet".
It is now possible to request funding from the Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund for projects involving the purchase of medical equipment, hospital ward fittings and rebuilding hospitals, under the heading of regional health infrastructures.
I den vanskelige situation, som det polske sundhedsvæsen befinder sig i, er en hurtig videreformidling af økonomisk støtte af afgørende betydning.
At present, the rate at which funds are transferred is having a considerable impact on the difficult situation facing the health service in Poland.
På grund af det alt for omfattende bureaukrati er det desværre umuligt at vide, hvornår støtten vil nå frem til modtageren.
Unfortunately, because of excessive bureaucracy, there is no knowing when the funds being provided will reach the institutions concerned.
Agter Kommissionen i lyset heraf at mindske bureaukratiet i forbindelse med procedurerne for tildeling af EU-støtte?
Does the Commission therefore intend to reduce the level of bureaucracy affecting EU procedures for the allocation of funds?

Om: Reform af den fælles markedsordning for sukker - dokument vedtaget af Kommissionen den 14. juli 2004
Subject: Document concerning the reform of the common organisation of the market in sugar which was adopted by the Commission on 14 July 2004
Spørgeren har allerede rettet henvendelse til Kommissionen om dette spørgsmål, men var ikke tilfreds med dens svar.
I have already asked the Commission a question on this subject, but I was not satisfied by the reply I received.
Kommissionen anførte bl.a., at en begrænsning af nedskæringerne til kun at omfatte B-kvoterne ville skade de mest konkurrencedygtige sukkerproducenter.
In its reply, the Commission stated, among other things, that to limit the quota cuts to the B quotas would harm the most competitive sugar producers.
En sammenlægning af A- og B-kvoterne og en nedskæring af den derved fremkomne samlede kvote med 16% ville imidlertid resultere i status quo, hvilket ville gavne de mindre konkurrencedygtige producenter.
However, merging the A and B quotas and reducing the total quota level by 16% would ultimately result in preserving the status quo, which plays into the hands of uncompetitive producers.
I EU-15 udgør B-kvoterne i gennemsnit 21,5% af A-kvoterne, mens de kun udgør 4,5% i EU-10.
Whereas the average B quota level in the ‘EU-15’ is 21.5% of the A quota, in the ‘EU-10’ it is only 4.5%.
Den eksisterende ordning er således uretfærdig, eller endog diskriminerende.
Consequently, the way the current system is set up is clearly unequal, even discriminatory.
Hvis ordningen skal gøres mere retfærdig og mere effektiv, kan den samme reduktionssats ikke anvendes på alle, men må differentieres, alt efter hvilket land den anvendes på.
If the system is to be made fairer and more effective, the total quota level cannot be reduced by the same amount for everyone, but by different amounts depending on the country concerned.
For eksempel er B-kvoten for Tjekkiet klart fastsat for lavt, hvilket betyder, at den foreslåede reform ville resultere i et tab på 13% af landets A-kvote.
For example, the Czech Republic’s B quota is set at a level that is clearly too low, meaning that the proposed reform would result in a loss of 13% of the country’s A quota.
Er det retfærdigt?
Is this fair?
Hvordan kan de tjekkiske sukkerproducenter konkurrere med producenter fra lande, hvis A-kvote forbliver uændret?
How will Czech sugar producers be able to compete with producers from countries whose A quota will remain unchanged?
Er Kommissionen af den opfattelse, at en producent, som er konkurrencedygtig, når der er samme vilkår for alle, stadig vil kunne konkurrere, hvis den pågældende ikke længere får støtte, mens en producent fra en anden medlemsstat fortsat modtager støtte?
Does the Commission consider that a producer that is competitive when there is a level playing-field will remain competitive if that producer must forgo subsidies while a producer from another Member State continues to operate with subsidies?

Eftersom direktivet er baseret på artikel 95, som sikrer frie varebevægelser, er det særdeles vigtigt, at industrien og håndhævelsesmyndighederne gennemfører direktivet på nøjagtig samme vis.
As the RoHS Directive is based on Art. 95, ensuring the free circulation of goods, it is essential that the implementation of the Directive is identical amongst industry as well as enforcement authorities.
Kan Kommissionen på denne baggrund oplyse, hvad udvalget om teknisk tilpasning har gjort for at sikre, at de højst tilladte koncentrationsværdier for farlige stoffer defineres på en sådan måde, at håndhæverne og industrien ikke fortolker dem forskelligt?
Against this background can the Commission state what the Technical Adaptation Committee has done to ensure that the RoHS concentration limits are defined in such a way as not to lead to different interpretations between enforcers and industry?
Hvorledes agter medlemsstaterne at håndhæve direktivet?
How are the Member States planning to enforce the Directive?

I en rapport fra Amnesty International fra den 11. januar 2005 gives der udtryk for bekymring over de 60 personer, der er "forsvundet" eller blev tilbageholdt af Kuwaits regering i forbindelse med de irakiske styrkers tilbagetrækning i februar 1991.
An Amnesty International report of 11 January 2005 raises concern about 60 individuals detained and 'disappeared' by Kuwaiti Government forces during and around the withdrawal of Iraqi forces in February 1991.
Der sættes især fokus på George Victor Salsa, der ifølge hans far, mor og bror blev slået og fjernet fra hjemmet kl. 1.30 om morgenen, og som ikke er set siden arrestationen den 9. maj 1991.
In particular it focuses on the case of George Victor Salsa, still missing following his arrest on 9 May 1991, when he was beaten and taken from his home at 1.30 a.m., witnessed by his father, mother and brother.
Da hans familie henvendte sig til politiet, fik de at vide, at der ikke forelå nogen oplysninger om ham.
When his family contacted the police they were told there were no records of him.
Røde Kors mistede tilsyneladende ethvert spor af George Salsa i august 1991.
The Red Cross apparently lost track of George Salsa in August 1991.
Hvilket pres har Rådet lagt på Kuwaits myndigheder for at sikre, at George Salsa og andre, der er meldt savnede, sendes tilbge til deres familier, og at de ansvarlige for fængslingerne retsforfølges?
What pressure has the Council put on Kuwaiti authorities to ensure that George Salsa and others reported missing are returned to their families and that those responsible for their detention are brought to justice?

Mordet på Libanons tidligere premierminister Rafik Hariri har vakt international frygt for destabilisering af Libanon og området generelt.
The assassination of the former Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri, has raised fears at international level that Lebanon and the surrounding region may be destabilised.
Af erklæringer fra Rice fremgår det, at USA tillægger Syrien ansvaret for mordet.
Statements by Condoleeza Rice reveal that the USA's view is that Syria is responsible for the assassination.
Syrien, der på sin side af USA's præsident er blevet karakteriseret som et land tilhørende "det ondes akse", har fordømt angrebet, idet det erklærede, at det ikke havde noget at gøre med mordet på Rafik Hariri.
For its part, Syria, which has been described by the US President as a country forming part of the 'axis of evil', condemned the attack, claiming that it had no connection with the assassination of Rafik Hariri.

Ifølge en artikel i avisen "Ta Nea" (16. februar 2005) er Kommissionen ved at forberede en ændring af Rådets afgørelse fra december 2004, der fastlægger, at Tyrkiet skal udvide toldunionen sådan, at den også omfatter Cypern, inden indledningen af tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne, og at Kommissionen agter at give mulighed for en "midlertidig" gennemførelse af toldunionen, inden den er lovligt vedtaget.
According to a report in the newspaper Ta Nea (16 February 2005), the Commission is planning to alter the Council's decision of December 2004, which stipulates that Ankara should extend the customs union to include Cyprus before the opening of accession negotiations, and that the Commission intends to offer the possibility of 'provisional' implementation of the customs union without it being adopted in law.

Om: Legaliseringen af indvandrere i Spanien
Subject: Process of regularisation of immigrants in Spain
Under mødet i Rådet (RIA) den 29. januar i år anmodede Tysklands og Nederlandenes repræsentanter Spanien om at gøre rede for den masselegalisering af indvandrere, som var bebudet, fordi de mente, at et sådant tiltag uvægerligt ville få konsekvenser for de øvrige EU-medlemmer.
At the JHA Council of Ministers on 29 January 2005, the representatives of Germany and the Netherlands asked Spain for explanations on the process of wholesale regularisation of illegal immigrants that it planned to initiate, considering such a measure to have irremediable consequences for the other EU Member States.
Denne proces, som rent faktisk blev påbegyndt den 7. februar, og som skønnes at ville berøre ca. én million personer, har allerede resulteret i afskedigelser af indvandrere på grund af arbejdsgiverens frygt for at blive anmeldt, ligesom nogle af det spanske politis personaleorganisationer har advaret om dens tiltrækningseffekt over for nye indvandrere.
This process, which in fact began on 7 February, and which it is estimated could affect around one million people, has already led to instances of immigrants being sacked for fear of denunciations and to the 'pull factor' warned of by some Spanish police unions.
