Siden det første udbrud af denne sygdom blev konstateret i den centrale del af Portugal i 1999, har fyrretræsnematoden hærget i flere af landets regioner og også i en spansk region, hvilket indebærer alvorlige risici for spredning af sygdommen, der kan ramme skovene i hele Europa.
Since the first outbreak of pine nematode disease in Portugal in 1999, in the country's central region, the disease has spread to other Portuguese regions and also to a region of Spain, giving rise to serious risks of propagation which could affect more forests throughout the Union.
Den mest effektive måde til bekæmpelse af sygdommen er fældning og afbrænding af de inficerede træer.
The most effective form of combating this disease is to fell and burn the affected trees.
Sygdommen indebærer karantæne og restriktioner for produkternes bevægelighed.
This disease implies the need for quarantine and restrictions on the movement of products.
Situationens har alvorlige økonomiske og miljømæssige konsekvenser, idet hele nåletræsbestanden i EU er i fare.
This state of affairs is likely to have grave economic and environmental consequences which could jeopardise the conifer population of the entire Union.
Er Kommissionen rede til at iværksætte en ny beredskabsplan med yderligere finansiel støtte til udryddelse af fyrretræsnematoden?
Will the Commission consider implementing an additional emergency plan with increased funding, with a view to eradicating pine nematode disease?

Om: Muteret influenza A-virus
Subject: Mutation of type A flu virus
I juli 2009 udsendte kommissæren for sundhed et budskab til alle EU's borgere, der opfordrede dem til at bevare roen, samtidig med at de skulle være opmærksomme, informerede og bevidste om, hvordan de skulle agere i forhold til influenza A, da det var usikkert, hvordan virusset ville udvikle sig.
In July 2009, the Commission addressed a message to all EU citizens drawing attention to the need for a climate of security and calm but at the same time of constant attention, informedness and awareness as regards the attitudes to be taken towards type A flu, given the uncertainty over the future evolution of the virus.
For nyligt blev der bekræftet tilfælde af mutering af H1N1-virusset, nærmere bestemt i Norge, hvor det norske institut for offentlig sundhed meddelte, at ændringerne i virusset kan gøre det mere tilbøjeligt til at inficere de dybere luftveje og medføre flere alvorligt syge, idet to patienter netop var døde.
Recently, cases of mutation of the H1N1 virus have been confirmed, notably in Norway, where the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has stated that the alterations in the virus may have the effect of making it liable to produce more serious infections of the respiratory channels and lead to more serious cases of illness (two people have already died).
I hvilke lande i EU har man kendskab til, at H1N1-virusset er muteret? 2.
in which EU Member States there have been reports of cases of mutation of the H1N1 virus; 2.
Er de vacciner, der anvendes inden for EU, effektive i tilfælde som disse, hvor H1N1-virusset er muteret? 3.
to what extent the vaccinations currently available in the EU are effective in these cases of mutation of the H1N1 virus; 3.
Foreligger der et skøn over risikoen for spredning af sygdommen som følge af muterede vira?

Ifølge oplysninger fra Verdenssundhedsorganisationen (WHO) har Portugal kun 480 sygeplejersker pr. 100 000 indbyggere, hvilket er betydeligt færre end i Spanien, hvor der er 744 sygeplejersker til det samme indbyggerantal.
According to WHO data, Portugal has only 480 nurses per 100 000 inhabitants, a figure well below that for Spain, where the equivalent ratio is 744 per 100 000.
Holland og Irland, der begge har gode sundhedsresultater, har mere end 1 500 sygeplejersker pr. 100 000 indbyggere.
In the Netherlands and Ireland, which are high-performing in the health field, the equivalent figure is over 1 500.
Repræsentanter fra sektoren er af den opfattelse, at der er et stort underskud af sygeplejersker i Portugal.
The associations in the sector believe there is a major shortfall of nurses in Portugal.

Om: Parametre til definition af arbejdsløsheden
Subject: Parameters used to define unemployment
Ifølge Eurostats oplysninger fra oktober 2009 er den gennemsnitlige arbejdsløshedsprocent i euroområdet 9,8 %.
According to Eurostat data from October 2009, the average rate of unemployment in the eurozone is 9.8 %.
Portugal er det land i eurozonen, der har den fjerde højeste arbejdsløshed og den syvende højeste i EU.
Portugal has the fourth highest unemployment rate in the eurozone and the seventh highest in the EU.
De kriterier, der anvendes til at beregne det officielle arbejdsløshedstal, er stadig ikke de samme i hele EU, hvilket utvivlsomt forringer mulighederne for at sammenligne de reelle arbejdsløshedstal.
Nonetheless, the criteria for calculating the official number of unemployed are not identical throughout the Union, and this factor can only have a distorting effect on comparing real unemployment figures.
F.eks. tæller personer, der er i gang med en lønnet erhvervsuddannelse, ikke med i denne beregning.
For instance. in Portugal persons undergoing paid vocational training are not included in the calculation.
I hvor mange EU-lande tæller personer, der er i gang med en lønnet erhvervsuddannelse, ikke med i de officielle arbejdsløshedstal? 2.
in which Member States persons undergoing paid vocational training are not included in the calculation of the official unemployment figures; 2.
Vil det ikke være på sin plads med en harmonisering af kriterierne, så vi får et reelt begreb for det faktiske arbejdsløshedstal i hele EU?
whether it believes it would be justified to introduce uniform criteria with a view to obtaining a genuine picture of the real numbers of unemployed Union-wide?

Jeg er blevet kontaktet angående information om importafgifter på aluminiumsfolie fra Rusland i de seneste fire år.
I have been contacted regarding information on import tariffs on aluminium foil from Russia over the last four years.
Det ser ud til, at lord Mandelson i december 2005 undertegnede en afgørelse om at fjerne afgiften på 14,9 % på aluminiumsfolie, og at dette blev ratificeret af Rådet den følgende måned.
It appears that, in December 2005, Lord Mandelson signed off on a decision to remove the 14.9% tariff on aluminium foil and that this was ratified by the Council of Ministers the following month.
Under lord Mandelsons embedsperiode som europæisk kommissær for handel aftalte han også at nedskære afgifterne på al import af råaluminium fra 6 % til 3 % i 2007 og eventuelt afskaffe den fuldstændig i år.
During his term as European trade commissioner, Lord Mandelson also agreed to reduce tariffs on all imported raw aluminium from 6% to 3% in 2007, and possibly completely by this year.

Om: Nederlandsk lov om kilometerbetaling
Subject: Netherlands kilometre charge law
Den nederlandske regering har fundet tilslutning til loven om kilometerbetaling (regler for opkrævning af en brugsafhængig betaling for kørsel med et motorkøretøj) med henblik på yderligere gennemførelse af princippet om, at brugeren betaler.
The Netherlands Government has reached agreement on a ‘kilometre charge law’ (rules on imposing a charge dependent on use for driving a motor vehicle) in order to further implement the ‘polluter pays’ principle.
For at sige det diplomatisk har den nederlandske regering ikke valgt den simpleste løsning og bliver således nærmest pioner på området.
The Netherlands Government has, to put it diplomatically, not opted for the easiest solution and is jumping the gun somewhat in this area.
Så vidt vides, kan medlemsstaterne indføre afgifter, forudsat at der ikke er tale om direkte eller indirekte diskriminering på grund af motorejerens nationalitet, det land eller sted, hvor motorejeren er etableret eller køretøjet indregistreret, eller på grund af transportens startsted eller endemål.
As far as I am aware, Member States may introduce levies provided that there is no direct or indirect discrimination on the basis of the nationality of the owner, the country or place where the owner is resident or where the vehicle is registered, or the starting point or destination of travel.
Samtidig skal alternativer (f.eks. vignetter) koste forholdsmæssigt det samme (f.eks. for transitkørsel eller kortvarigt brug af infrastrukturen) og være til rådighed 24 timer i døgnet, såvel inden som uden for den medlemsstat, hvor dette kræves.
At the same time, alternatives (for example, vignettes) must be priced proportionately (for example, for transit traffic or short-term use of infrastructure) and must be available 24 hours a day both within and outside the Member State where they are required.
Endvidere skal trafikstrømmen hindres så lidt som muligt.
The flow of traffic must also be hindered as little as possible.
Udgangspunktet for det nederlandske lovforslag er, at hvert enkelt motorkøretøj, der er undervejs i Nederlandene, deltager i kilometerbetalingen.
The starting point for the Netherlands legislative proposal is that every motor vehicle driven in the Netherlands should pay the kilometre charge.
Dette gælder også motorkøretøjer med udenlandske nummerplader.
That also applies to motor vehicles with a foreign registration number.
Den nederlandske regering mener (i mangel af alternative forslag vedrørende udenlandske motorkøretøjer), at pligten til at udruste alle motorkøretøjer med registreringsudstyr principielt er berettiget.
The Netherlands Government states (in connection with the lack of alternative proposals for foreign motor vehicles) that the requirement to fit all motor vehicles with a registration system is justified in principle.
Deler Kommissionen denne holdning?
Does the Commission share this viewpoint?
Faktum er, at de nederlandske motorejere på en eller anden måde får kompensation i form af (f.eks.) en nedsættelse af motorskatten.
The fact is that Netherlands owners are in any event to be compensated by, for example, the lowering of road tax.
Hvorledes vurderer Kommissionen dette spørgsmål, og mener den, at det ud fra det foreliggende nederlandske lovforslag står til troende, at udenlandske motorejere ikke diskrimineres?
How does the Commission view this point and does it consider, on the basis of the current Netherlands legislative proposal, that foreign owners can be seen not to be discriminated against?
Hvad angår den europæiske elektroniske bompengetjeneste (EETS), er der indtil videre ikke tale om noget gældende og umiddelbart gennemførligt koncept.
As far as the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) is concerned, that cannot yet be described as a functioning project that is able to be directly implemented.
I forbindelse med den nederlandske lov om kilometerbetaling ser det også usikkert ud, hvorledes EETS nøjagtig kan foregribes, og/eller om Nederlandene virkelig fint vil kunne klare at gennemføre EETS.
With regard to the Netherlands kilometre charge law, it therefore seems uncertain how precisely the EETS can be anticipated and whether the Netherlands can in fact implement the EETS effectively.

Om: Anmodning om vurdering af den svenske dom mod firmaet SmartWi
Subject: Request for assessment of the Swedish judgment against the firm SmartWi
SmartWi International er et dansk firma, der siden 2004 har udviklet og markedsført en såkaldt Multiroom Solution til betalings-tv i det meste af verden – herunder i de fleste EU-lande.
SmartWi International is a Danish firm which, since 2004, has developed and marketed a ‘multi-room solution’ for pay-TV in most of the world, including most EU Member States.
Systemet fungerer stort set som en trådløs router til internettet i private hjem.
In general terms, the system operates as a wireless Internet router in private homes.
Den giver husstande med et abonnement på betalings-tv mulighed for at se flere tv-kanaler samtidigt på forskellige tv-apparater i hjemmet.
It enables households with a pay-TV subscription to watch several TV channels simultaneously on different TV sets in the home.
Alligevel har nogle af de større udbydere af betalings-tv anlagt retssager, som midlertidigt har stoppet SmartWi's markedsføring i Sverige og Frankrig.
Some of the major pay-TV providers, however, have initiated legal proceedings, which have provisionally resulted in the suspension of SmartWi's marketing in Sweden and France.
I Sverige blev der anlagt sag mod en forhandler af SmartWi af SmartWi's konkurrenter Canal Digital, Com Hem og Boxer, og disse fik medhold.
In Sweden, SmartWi's competitors, Canal Digital, Com Hem and Boxer, took legal action against a SmartWi dealer and obtained a court ruling in their favour.
Under den svenske sag henviste forhandleren blandt andet til de grundlæggende principper i EU's indre marked, som tillader salg af et produkt i hele EU, hvis salget er godkendt i et EU-land.
In the Swedish case, the dealer referred, inter alia , to the fundamental principles of the EU's internal market which allow the marketing of a product throughout the EU once marketing is approved in one Member State.
Direktivet forbyder blandt andet distribution og salg af såkaldte ulovlige anordninger i kommercielt øjemed, idet »ulovlige anordninger« er defineret som udstyr, der giver adgang til en beskyttet tjeneste uden tjenesteudbyderens tilladelse.
The directive prohibits, inter alia , the distribution and sale of illicit devices for commercial purposes, ‘illicit devices’ being defined as any equipment which gives access to a protected service without the authorisation of the service provider.
Det er med andre ord tv-udbyderen, der suverænt afgør, hvad der kan betegnes som ulovligt udstyr, selv om der faktisk ikke er tale om dekoderudstyr, og selv om det alene giver adgang til en tjeneste, som abonnenten allerede har betalt for.
That is to say that the TV service provider has the sole power to decide what constitutes an illicit device, even if the device in question is not a decoder and only gives access to a service which the subscriber has already paid for.
SmartWi's system er konstrueret med en åben ISO-standard med en begrænset rækkevidde af de trådløse signaler på ca. 15 meter, hvilket effektivt blokerer for uautoriseret adgang til tv-programmerne.
SmartWi's system is designed using an open ISO standard with limited-range wireless signals of approximately 15 metres, which effectively prevents unauthorised access to the TV programmes.
På baggrund af ovenstående bedes Kommissionen give sin vurdering af sagen og oplyse følgende:
In the light of the above, will the Commission give its assessment of the case?
Finder Kommissionen, at den svenske dom er korrekt og dermed i overensstemmelse med principperne for det indre marked?
Does the Commission consider the Swedish judgment to be correct and, therefore, consistent with the principles of the internal market?

Om: Sikring imod effekten af kosmisk stråling for personer, der i deres arbejde har hyppig flyveaktivitet (Frequent Flyers) — og på samme niveau som ansatte i luftfarten
Subject: Protection against the effects of cosmic radiation for persons who are frequent flyers for work purposes, at the same level as employees in the aviation industry
(Udtagelse af tjeneste når en given strålingsdosis er modtaget).
(Withdrawal from service when a given dose of radiation is received),
Tilsvarende bestemmelser findes i direktivet for andre ansatte, dog er disse bestemmelser ikke blevet gjort obligatoriske.
The directive contains corresponding provisions for other employees, though these are not mandatory.
Dette indebærer, at bestemmelserne tilsyneladende ikke er gennemført i national lovgivning, hvad angår ansatte uden for luftfarten, uanset at disse tidsmæssigt kan have flyvetider, og dermed eksponering for kosmisk stråling, der er på niveau med og evt. større end det flyvende personales.
This means that the provisions are apparently not incorporated into national legislation to cover employees outside the aviation industry regardless of the fact that they may spend the same amount of time flying as flight crew and thereby be exposed to the same or even greater levels of cosmic radiation.
Dette indebærer, at kun den ene af de to typer arbejdstagere, nemlig sådanne, der er ansat inden for luftfarten, omfattes af væsentlige arbejdsmiljømæssige beskyttelsesforanstaltninger, hvad angår eksponering for kosmisk stråling.
Thus, only one of the two types of worker, i.e. those employed in the aviation industry, is covered by essential protective measures relating to exposure to cosmic radiation in the work environment.
Vil Kommissionen tage initiativ til, at de samme arbejdsmiljøbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger bringes i anvendelse for alle arbejdstagere, der i forbindelse med deres arbejde udsættes for eksponering for kosmisk stråling, uanset deres arbejdsmæssige tilknytning til luftfarten eller anden arbejdsgiver (f.eks. ansatte i virksomheder, som hyppigt har flyveaktivitet i forbindelse med deres job)?
Will the Commission take steps to ensure that the same protective measures are applied to all workers who are exposed to cosmic radiation in connection with their employment, regardless of whether they work in the aviation industry or for any other employer (e.g. company employees who are frequent flyers because of their job)?
Artikel 42 i Rådets direktiv 96/29/Euratom Rådets direktiv 96/29/Euratom af 13. maj 1996 om fastsættelse af grundlæggende sikkerhedsnormer til beskyttelse af befolkningens og arbejdstagernes sundhed mod de farer, som er forbundet med ioniserende stråling, EFT L 159 af 29.6.1996 . pålægger luftfartsselskaber at tage hensyn til udsættelse for kosmisk stråling af flypersonale, der kan blive udsat for mere end 1 mSv pr. år.
Article 42 of Council Directive 96/29/Euratom Council Directive 96/29/Euratom of 13 May 1996 laying down basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionizing radiation, OJ L 159, 29.6.1996. requires that arrangements are made for undertakings operating aircraft to take account of exposure to cosmic radiation of air crew who are liable to be subject to exposure to more than 1 mSv per year.
Direktivet indeholder ingen bestemmelser om udsættelse for kosmisk stråling af andre persongrupper.
The directive does not contain any further provisions regarding the exposure to cosmic radiation of individuals other than air crew.
I Europa-Kommissionens serie af udgivelser om strålingsbeskyttelse indeholder nr. 156 Radiation Protection nr. 156 — Evaluation of the implementation of radiation protection measures for aircrew — kan downloades fra http://ec.europa.eu/energy/nuclear/radiation_protection/doc/publication/156.pdf en evaluering af, hvordan medlemsstaterne har gennemført artikel 42.

Kommissionen er i øjeblikket ved at revidere ovennævnte direktiv, herunder dets krav i tilfælde af at arbejdstagere udsættes for naturlige strålingskilder (inklusive kosmisk stråling).
The Commission is currently in the process of revising the abovementioned Directive which comprises a revision of the requirements regarding the exposure of workers to natural sources including cosmic radiation.

Om: Korruptionsanklager mod det kinesiske firma NucTech
Subject: Corruption accusations against the Chinese company NucTech
Som det er fremgået af medierne (Allgemeine Zeitung Windhoek af 13.7.2009, New York Times af 22.7.2009) er der i Namibia indledt en korruptionssag mod det kinesiske firma NucTech Company Limited.
The media reported that a corruption case had been started in Namibia against the Chinese company NucTech Company Ltd (‘ Allgemeine Zeitung Windhoek ’, 13.7.2009 and the ‘ New York Times ’, 22.7.2009).
Uafhængigt af dette fremgik det af medierne (The Telegraph af 19.7.2009), at Kommissionen i marts 2009 indledte en undersøgelse vedrørende samme firma på grund af mistanke om konkurrenceforvridende metoder i forbindelse med en kontrakt mellem NucTech og HM Revenue & Customs fra 2006.
A separate media report stated that in March 2009 the Commission had launched an investigation into suspected anti-competitive practices under a contract between NucTech and HM Revenue & Customs, signed in 2006 (‘ The Telegraph ’, 19.7.2009).
Andre mediekilder gør opmærksom på, at Kinas kommunistiske parti er involveret i NucTech's aktiviteter.
Furthermore, media reports point to the involvement of the Communist Party of China in the business activities of NucTech.
Baggrunden formodes at være, at Hu Haifeng, søn af den kinesiske præsident Hu Jintao, var direktør for NucTech, indtil mistanken om korruption opstod.
The grounds for this supposition are that Hu Haifeng, son of Chinese President Hu Jintao, was Chief Executive of NucTech until suspicions of corruption emerged.
Hvilke resultater har Kommissionens undersøgelser vedrørende firmaet NucTech ført til?
What were the findings of the Commission's investigations into NucTech?
Hvordan har de statslige kinesiske instanser bidraget til at opklare korruptionsanklagerne mod firmaet NucTech?
What contribution is being made by Chinese government bodies to clear up the accusations of corruption against NucTech?
Er der kontakter mellem Namibias antikorruptionskommission (ACC) og Kommissionen omkring behandlingen af de to sager?
Are Namibia's Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) and the European Commission in contact so as to deal with the two cases?
Er Kommissionen enig med mig i, at bestemmelser om verserende sager ikke må forhindre, at der videregives oplysninger til andre skadelidte regeringer om virksomheder, som bedriver dumping i Europa og forlanger ågerpriser i Namibia, dvs. finansierer deres dumping i Europa på denne måde?
