I Portugals tilfælde har den nationale organisation for kommuner og producenter til valorisering af de traditionelle portugisiske produkter henledt opmærksomheden på det faktum, at mikroproducenter, små producenter og midlertidige producenter, af helt nationale årsager, fortsat er genstand for udelukkelse på grund af manglende retsgrundlag, diskriminerende markedsadgang, manglende mulighed for at opfylde de bureaukratiske krav, manglende mulighed for at øge produktionen på grund af fastsættelsen af maksimale mænger samt manglende mulighed for at skabe arbejdspladser på grund af fastsættelsen af en maksimumsgrænse for antallet af arbejdstagere.
As far as Portugal is concerned, the National Association of Municipalities and Producers for the Development of Portuguese Traditional Products and Improvement of their Quality has been pointing out that, for purely national reasons, micro-scale-, small, and occasional producers are continuing to be systemically excluded, because there is no legal framework; furthermore, they are discriminated against in terms of market access, because they cannot unravel the tangle of red tape; they cannot increase their production, because maximum quantities are laid down; and they cannot create jobs, because of the upper limits applying to workforces.

Om: Venezuela - lukning af 34 radiostationer, nyt angreb mod borgernes rettigheder
Subject: Venezuela — closure of 34 radio stations, a new assault on civil liberties
34 venezuelanske radiostationer er for nylig blevet lukket efter bemyndigelse af landets nationale udvalg for telekommunikation.
Within the last few weeks, 34 Venezuelan radio stations have been closed down by order of the country’s National Telecommunications Commission.
200 øvrige stationer er genstand for undersøgelse, angiveligt på grund af licensproblemer, og kan ende med at lide samme skæbne.
At present 200 others are under investigation, allegedly on account of licensing problems, and could suffer the same fate.
Denne handling fra Hugo Chavez' regime indgår som en del af den stigende undertrykkelse af oppositionen og tilbagegangen for borgernes rettigheder i landet og har navnlig ført til lukningen af tv-kanalen RCTV.
This action by Hugo Chavez’s regime reflects a more general trend towards a growing crackdown on opposition forces and a decline in civil liberties; it has led, among other things, to the closure of RCTV, a television broadcaster.
Ifølge Carlos Correa, direktør for den ikkestatslige organisation Espacio Público, agter myndighederne at knække de nationale kritiske og uafhængige transmissionslinjer.
Carlos Correa, director of the NGO Espacio Público (Public Space), believes that the authorities are seeking to cut the channels through which independent critical content is disseminated at national level.
Ifølge Correa er vi vidne til den største begrænsning af ytringsfriheden nogensinde i Venezuela, uden fortilfælde under demokratiet.
What is involved, in his opinion, is the most sweeping system of restrictions on freedom of expression ever seen in Venezuela, one that has no precedent in the democratic era.
Det bemærkes, at Chavez-regimet ud over at lukke og indskrænke radio- og tv-stationers redaktionelle indhold forbereder en lov om »medielovovertrædelser«, der indbefatter fængselsstraffe til journalister samt andre ytringsfrihedsbegrænsende bestemmelser, hvilket allerede har givet anledning til kritik fra Sociedade Interamericana de Imprensa (SIP), fra den ikkestatslige organisation Human Rights Watch og den nationale journalistsammenslutning i Venezuela.
In addition to the moves to close down radio and television broadcasters or subject them to editorial control, the Chavez regime is preparing to pass a law against ‘media crimes’, whereby journalists may be punished by imprisonment and freedom of expression curtailed by other means, a fact which has already prompted criticism from the Inter-American Press Association (SIP), the NGO Human Rights Watch, and the Venezuelan Journalists’ Association.
Har Kommissionen videresendt sin vurdering heraf til de venezuelanske myndigheder?
Has it told the Venezuelan authorities what it thinks?
Hvilke foranstaltninger har Kommissionen truffet eller planlagt for at bidrage til opretholdelsen af borgernes rettigheder i Venezuela og for at standse regeringens stigende fjendtlighed over for kommunikationsmidlernes uafhængighed og pluralisme?

Om: Støtte til genetisk modificeret såsæd
Subject: Genetically modified seed — support
En stor del af EU's borgere er imod, at der anvendes genmanipuleret såsæd, og mange forbrugere vælger bevidst økologiske produkter.
A large proportion of EU citizens are against the use of genetically modified seed; many consumers deliberately choose organic products.
Men nu ser det ud til at være rigtigt, hvad kritikerne længe har sagt, nemlig at lovgivningen ikke kan forhindre en snigende udbredelse af genmodificeret såsæd.
What critics have long complained about is now apparently proving to be true: laws cannot prevent the gradual spreading of genetically modified seed.
F.eks. skal undersøgelser i Tyskland frem til udgangen af juli have vist, at ud af 367 undersøgte prøver af såsæd (majs) var de 12 forurenede.
Studies in Germany have apparently revealed contamination in 12 out of 367 (maize) seed samples examined up to the end of July.
Genetisk modificeret såsæd er en indbringende forretning, som styres fast af nogle få internationale virksomheder såsom Monsanto, Syngenta, BASF og Bayer.
Trade in genetically modified seed is profitably and firmly in the hands of a small number of internationally operating seed multinationals such as Monsanto, Syngenta, BASF and Bayer.
Der forskes støt videre, f.eks. i Brasilien om genmanipuleret sukkerrør, som bedre kan klare vandmangel.
Research is continuing, for example research in Brazil into genetically modified sugar cane that is better able to tolerate shortages of water.
Men der er endnu ikke forsket tilstrækkeligt i langtidsvirkningerne af anvendelsen af genteknik, f.eks. i forbindelse med anvendelsen af plantebeskyttelsesmidler (krydsreaktioner).
However, the long-term consequences of the use of genetically modified products in conjunction with the use of plant protection products (cross‑reactions) have not yet been adequately explored.
Bl.a. sættes også de sidste års massive bidød i forbindelse med den øgede anvendelse af genetisk modificeret såsæd.
Among other things, deaths of bees on a huge scale in recent years have been associated with increased use of genetically modified seed.
Hvordan forholder Kommissionen sig til resultaterne af de undersøgelser, som viser, at en forurening ikke kan udelukkes, og hvilke skridt påtænkes der i den forbindelse?
What is the EU's position on the results of studies showing that contamination cannot be ruled out, and what steps are planned in this connection?

Om: Nedskæringer i togafgange i det græske jernbanenet
Subject: Greek rail cuts
I de kommende måneder skal Kommissionen undersøge den driftsplan (Business Plan), som den græske regering vil fremsende til den græske jernbaneorganisation (OSE) og dens datterselskaber med henblik på at give tilladelse til fortsat at yde statsgarantier til OSE's banklån.
Over the next few months the business plan for the Greek Railway Company (OSE) and its subsidiaries will be submitted to the European Commission by the Greek Government, which is seeking its authorisation to continue to guarantee the bank loan to the OSE.
Idet den græske regering påberåber sig behovet for en økonomisk sanering af OSE og Kommissionens forestående vurdering, har den med virkning fra den 1. august 2009 pålagt, at næsten 40 % af landets togafgange indstilles.
Arguing the need to rationalise the OSE, particularly in the light of the Commission's forthcoming decision, the Greek Government has decided to cut almost 40 % of national rail services from 1 August 2009.
På næsten halvdelen af ruterne i det græske jernbanenet er der nu kun 1-3 passagerafgange om dagen, hvilket yderligere undergraver jernbanernes konkurrenceevne over for vejtransport og i særdeleshed over for de tilsvarende busforbindelser.
On almost half the Greek rail network passenger trains now run no more than between one and three times daily, further undermining its ability to compete with road transport and in particular the corresponding coach services.
Uafhængige organisationer i det civile samfund har klaget over, at den græske regering med disse foranstaltninger udøver kundepleje til fordel for forretningsinteresser, der konkurrerer med jernbanerne.
This has prompted a number of independent civil society organisations to level charges of clientelism, accusing the Greek Government of pandering to business interests competing with the railways.
Jernbanernes andel af de græske transporter til lands udgjorde knap 1,7 % i begyndelsen af 2009 (mod 3 % i 1990'erne) med yderligere vigende tendenser, hvilket bidrager betydeligt til OSE's underskud.
At the beginning of 2009 the railway provided a mere 1.7 % of overland transport services in Greece (down from 3 % in the 1990s), following a continued downward trend and thereby substantially swelling OSE deficits.
Grækenlands udledning af drivhusgasser fra transportsektoren er steget med 65 % i perioden 1990-2008, og det er en stigning, som marginaliseringen af jernbanerne også har bidraget til.
Furthermore, the decision to marginalise rail services is undoubtedly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions from the Greek transport sector, which rose by 65 % between 1990 and 2008.
Mener Kommissionen, at foranstaltningerne til en økonomisk sanering af de græske jernbaner bør være i overensstemmelse med de øvrige forpligtelser, som Grækenland har indgået over for EU, såsom en reduktion af udledningen af drivhusgasser?
Does the Commission consider that rationalisation of the Greek railways should be brought in to line with the other undertakings given by Greece to the EU, such as the containment and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions?
Kan Kommissionen acceptere driftsplanen for de græske jernbaner uden nogen specifikke mål om at øge deres andel af transporterne og uden nogen specifik handlingsplan for at opnå disse mål?
Can the Commission give its approval to the business plan for the Greek railways in the absence of specific target figures for an increase in the percentage of transport services provided by rail and of any specific plan of action designed to achieve these targets?
Har Kommissionen i sinde at godkende politikker, der undergraver de græske jernbaners konkurrenceevne og begrænser deres andel af transporterne yderligere, som værende gode foranstaltninger til økonomisk sanering af jernbanerne?
Is the Commission prepared to accept in the name of rationalisation of the Greek railways policies which undermine their competitiveness and further circumscribe their share of the transport market?

Om: Intensive opdrætssystemer som årsag til pandemier
Subject: Intensive stock-farming methods as a cause of pandemics
Undersøgelser og forskning udført af kompetente myndigheder og organer har vist, at intensive opdrætssystemer er blandt de udløsende årsager til pandemier, såsom sars, fugleinfluenza og (for at nævne det nyligste eksempel) svineinfluenza.
Studies and research carried out by competent bodies and authorities have shown that intensive stock-farming methods are one of the main causes of pandemics such as SARS, bird flu and, to take the most recent example, swine flu.
De intensive industrielle opdrætsbedrifter, som også i udviklingslandene bliver mere og mere udbredt for at tilfredsstille den stigende efterspørgsel på kød, involverer en slags frihedsberøvelse for de opdrættede dyrearter, som holdes i betonbygninger i rum af minimal størrelse med kunstig belysning, som er uegnede til dyrenes primære behov.
Intensive, industrial stock-farming methods, which are being used on an ever broader scale, and in developing countries too, in an effort to meet the growing demand for meat, require livestock effectively to be imprisoned in concrete buildings, in very cramped, uncomfortable conditions, under artificial lighting, which are in no way consistent with their basic needs.
Dyrene holdes stuvet i bur, fodres hovedsagelig med kemisk (i stedet for naturligt) foder, vandes ved hjælp af automatiske systemer og gives store doser af antibiotika for at forebygge sygdomme og øge dyrenes vægt.
The animals are kept in cages, are fed mainly artificial rather than natural feedingstuffs, have their drinking water provided by automated systems, and are regularly pumped full of antibiotics to prevent disease and make them gain weight.
I denne forbindelse er det bevist, at bakterier udvikler resistens over for antibiotika, når de i længere tid udsættes for små doser af lægemidler, således som det sker i førnævnte opdrætsbedrifter, hvor antibakterielle stoffer anvendes som vækststimulerende middel.
In that connection, it has been shown that battery-farmed animals develop a resistance to antibiotics when such drugs are administered in low doses over long periods as a growth stimulant, as happens in intensive stock-farming.
Sammen med en betydelig koncentration af nitrater, som er vanskelige at afsætte på passende vis, bidrager disse omstændigheder til udvikling af vira, der bliver stadig stærkere og farligere for dyrene og dermed, med de efterfølgende mutationer, for mennesker.
These circumstances, combined with the presence of substantial concentrations of nitrates which are difficult to dispose of properly, contribute to the development of ever more powerful viruses which pose a danger to the animals and, as they mutate, to humans.
Det Europæiske Fællesskab viste interesse for denne sag i 1990'erne — først med det såkaldte »nitratdirektiv« og dernæst med dyrevelfærdsdirektivet — men disse foranstaltninger har aldrig fundet reel anvendelse i medlemsstaterne.
The European Community took an interest in this matter in the 1990s, adopting first a directive on nitrates and, subsequently, directives dealing with matters such as animal welfare, but these measures have never been properly applied in the Member States.
Derimod har man oplevet udbredelse af kogalskab, forekomst af dioxinkyllinger og de allerede omtalte pandemier.
Quite the reverse: the period since the 1990s has seen the spread of mad cow disease, the phenomenon of dioxin-contaminated chickens and the pandemics referred to above.
I betragtning af at FAO og WHO ofte har slået alarm over fremkomst og udbredelse af epidemier og pandemier, der bliver farligere og farligere for mennesker, hvordan agter Kommissionen så at modvirke de barbariske metoder, der bliver brugt i de intensive opdrætsbedrifter?
In the light of the frequent warnings issued by the FAO and the WHO concerning the appearance and spread of epidemics and pandemics which are increasingly dangerous to humans, how does the Commission intend to put a stop to the barbarous methods employed in intensive stock-farming?
Hvordan agter Kommissionen at dæmme op for problemet med den »kemisk forurenede« landbrugsmodel — en model, hvor der frem for den primære målsætning om kvalitet og sundhed foretrækkes en masseproduktion drevet af søgen efter profit for enhver pris?
How does the Commission intend to deal with the problem of an unnatural, chemicals-based farming model which puts mass production geared towards profits at all costs before the fundamental objectives of quality and health?

Om: Amyotrofisk lateral sklerose som fodboldspilleres »erhvervssygdom« og årsager hertil
Subject: Causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: an occupational disease for footballers
Amyotrofisk lateral sklerose (ALS), der også kaldes Gehrigs sygdom efter navnet på en amerikansk baseballspiller, som var det første konstaterede offer for denne patologi, er en degenerativ og gradvist tiltagende sygdom, der rammer nervesystemet.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease after the American basketball player who was its first identified victim, is a progressive, degenerative disease of the nervous system.
Med en incidensrate på 1-3 tilfælde pr. 100 000 personer om året er ALS en sjælden sygdom, men hvis man tager foldboldverdenen i betragtning, er denne incidensrate statistisk set næsten 24 gange højere end gennemsnittet.
ALS is a rare disease, with an incidence of one to three cases per 100 000 individuals per year; among footballers, however, the statistical incidence is nearly 24 times higher than average.
Takket være en undersøgelse foretaget af National Institute of Health i Washington på DNA-prøver fra idrætsudøvere, som var ramt af ALS, har man fundet frem til fire afgørende kombinerede årsager, der muligvis kan medføre fremkomst af denne type patologi: —
A study of DNA samples from athletes suffering from ALS, carried out by the National Institute of Health in Washington, identified four key contributing factors to the possible onset of the disease: —
Midtbanespillerne, som løber meget og er udsat for flere slag under tacklingerne, er de mest ramte, mens der endnu ikke er registreret tilfælde af ALS blandt målmændene. —
Midfielders, who run a lot and take the most hits in tackles, are the worst affected, while there are not yet any recorded cases of ALS among goalkeepers; —
Antiinflammatoriske stoffer, som fodboldspillere ofte bruger langt ud over det almindelige terapeutiske behov, er genstand for adskillige undersøgelser med henblik på at påvise en forbindelse med fremkomsten af ALS. —
drug abuse: anti-inflammatories, which footballers often take in much higher doses than those needed for therapeutic purposes, are the focus of a great deal of research aimed at demonstrating a link with the onset of ALS; —
Forskere fra Miami Universitet er i færd med at vurdere muligheden for en forbindelse mellem forekomst af ALS og de cyanobakterier (som formerer sig, hvor der er brugt store mængder gødningsmidler), der forefindes på nogle foldboldbaner.
Miami University researchers are investigating a possible link between the onset of ALS and cyanobacteria — which proliferate where massive doses of fertiliser are used — found at some playgrounds.
I lyset af ovenstående agter Kommissionen da at finansiere en medicinsk-videnskabelig undersøgelse af ALS, som i betragtning af den fortsatte stigning i tilfældene bør betragtes som en egentlig erhvervssygdom i fodboldverdenen?
In the light of the above, does the Commission intend to fund a scientific and medical study of ALS, which should be regarded as a genuine occupational disease among footballers given the ever-increasing number of cases?
Agter Kommissionen at undersøge rollen af gødningsmidler, pesticider og ukrudtsdræbende midler som udløsende faktor for ALS — også i betragtning af at den kategori, der er mest ramt af denne sygdom (med en endnu højere incidensrate end hos foldboldspillerne), er bønder/landbrugere, som jo også er i daglig kontakt med disse stoffer?
Does it intend to investigate the role of fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides as a triggering factor for ALS, bearing in mind that those worst affected by this disease — with an even higher incidence than that recorded among footballers — are farmers, who are also in daily contact with such substances?
