Om: Privat gældslettelse til udviklingslande
Subject: Private debt relief to developing nations
Den britiske regering har lanceret et høringsdokument med titlen »Ensuring Effective Debt Relief for Poor Countries«, i hvilket det påstås, at private investorer ikke indrømmer udviklingslandene tilstrækkelig gældslettelse.
The British Government has launched a consultation document entitled ‘Ensuring Effective Debt Relief for Poor Countries’, which alleges that private investors are not providing sufficient debt relief to the developing world.
Private investorer indrømmer imidlertid allerede fattige lande en væsentlig gældslettelse, bl.a. eftergivelse af gæld til langt under dens værdi — op til 97 % under værdien i et nyligt tilfælde, der omfatter Liberia.
In fact, private investors already provide significant debt relief to poor countries, including settling debts for significantly less than their value — up to 97 % below value in a recent case involving Liberia.
Gæld og dermed handel med gældsforpligtelser er en del af markedsøkonomien.
Debt and, by extension, the trading of debt obligations are part of the market economy.
Alle lande anvender gæld til at finansiere dem selv, særlig udviklingslande, som ofte har brug for at gennemføre infrastrukturprojekter og andre bekostelige initiativer.
All countries rely on debt to finance themselves, in particular developing countries, which often need to undertake infrastructure projects and other expensive initiatives.
Er Kommissionen derfor enig i, at hvis en aftale om at købe en forpligtelse ikke har retskraft ved domstolene, har aftalen kun ringe eller ingen værdi for køberen på grund af usikkerheden om dens retskraft?
Therefore, does the Commission agree that, if a contract to buy an obligation is not enforceable in court, that contract has little or no worth to the buyer due to the uncertainty of its legal force?
Accepterer Kommissionen for det andet, at hvis der eksisterer en sådan retlig usikkerhed, vil udviklingslandenes adgang til væsentlig sekundær kapital blive forringet, da private investorer bliver afskrækket fra at investere i gæld?
Secondly, does the Commission accept that, if legal uncertainty such as this exists, developing countries’ access to essential secondary capital will be harmed as a result of dissuading private investors from investing in debt?

Om: Ændringen af status for det rumænske Nationale Institut for Administration
Subject: The change in status of the Romanian National Institute of Administration
En af betingelserne for Rumæniens optagelse i EU var, at det skulle gennemføre passende tilpasninger af nationale administrative strukturer for at sikre korrekt gennemførelse af EU-lovgivning og hensigtsmæssig revision af national lovgivning.
One of the membership criteria imposed on Romania was that its incorporation had to involve appropriate adjustments to national administrative structures in order to ensure proper implementation of European Union legislation and adequate revision of national legislation.
I den forbindelse forpligtede Rumænien sig under førtiltrædelsesforhandlingerne til at styrke den offentlige administration gennem reformer i denne sektor.
In this context, during the pre-accession negotiations Romania committed itself to ´strengthening public administration through reforms in this sector.
Den rumænske regering fastlagde derfor sammen med Kommissionen tre områder, hvor der skulle gennemføres væsentlige forbedringer, nemlig revision af vedtægten for embedsmænd, decentralisering af offentlige tjenester og udformning af offentlige politikker.
Consequently, together with the European Commission, the Romanian Government identified three fields in which significant improvements had to be achieved, namely reform of the statute for civil servants, decentralisation of public services and the process of public policy formation.
De blev indarbejdet som hovedprioriteter i den rumænske regerings strategi for fremskyndelse af reformen i den offentlige administration i Rumænien for 2004-2006.
Accordance, they were included as top priorities in the ‘Strategy of the Romanian Government for acceleration of the reform in public administration in Romania for the period 2004‑06’.
En af foranstaltningerne til gennemførelse af disse mål var oprettelsen ved anordning 81/2001 af Det Nationale Institut for Administration (NIA), som er en offentlig institution af national interesse med status som juridisk person, der hører under det rumænske indenrigsministerium.
One of the measures intended to achieve these goals was the creation, through Ordinance 81/2001, of the National Institute for Administration (NIA), a public institution of national interest, with legal personality, coming under the Romanian Ministry for the Interior.
Hovedformålet med NIA er at sørge for uddannelse af rumænske højtstående embedsmænd, kommende ledere i den offentlige sektor samt alle lokale og statslige offentligt ansatte.
The NIA's main objective is to ensure the training of Romania's senior civil servants, future public-sector managers and all local and central government staff.
EU har for 2001-2009 bevilget Rumænien 10 800 000 euro til udvikling og styrkelse af NIA's administrative kapacitet.
For the period 2001-09, the European Union has granted Romania EUR 10 800 000 for the development and strengthening of the NIA's administrative capacity.
Endvidere er NIA blevet bevilget 1 774 000 euro under et Phareprogram (2006/018 - 147.03.01.01) vedrørende fortsat støtte til Det Nationale Institut for Administration og de regionale centre for efteruddannelse til den lokale offentlige administration med henblik på at udvikle et fagligt korps af offentlige embedsmænd og de nødvendige kompetencer til at støtte den offentlige administration i Rumænien som en EU-medlemsstat.
In addition, the NIA has been granted EUR 1 774000 under a Phare programme (2006/018 — 147.03.01.01) concerning ‘Continuation of assistance to the National Institute for Administration and the Regional Centres for continuous formation for the local public administration with a view to developing a professional body of public servants and the necessary competences for supporting the public administration in Romania as Member State of the EU’.
Kommissionen bedes derfor besvare følgende spørgsmål: 1.
Accordingly, could the Commission answer the following questions: 1.
Hvad mener Kommissionen om den rumænske regerings planlagte foranstaltning? 2.
What is the opinion of the Commission with regard to the Romanian Government's intended measure? 2.
Mener Kommissionen, at foranstaltningen vil forbedre Rumæniens administrative kapacitet til optagelse af EU-midler? 3.
Does the Commission consider that the measure will enhance Romania's administrative capacity to absorb EU funds? 3.
Er foranstaltningen i overensstemmelse med de forpligtelser, Rumænien indgik før og efter optagelsen i EU? 4.
Is the measure in compliance with the commitments Romania entered into before and after accession to the EU? 4.
Hvad vil konsekvenserne efter Kommissionens mening være af en sådan ændring i ovennævnte institutions status?
What would be, in the Commission's view, the consequences following such a change in the status of the abovementioned institution?
Vil NIA blive pålagt at tilbagebetale de allerede bevilgede EU-midler eller at betale bøder for de projekter, for hvilke der allerede er indgået kontrakt?
Would the NIA be required to return the European funds already granted or to pay penalties for the projects already contracted?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-4948/09
Finlands regering vedtog den 31. marts 2009 en politik om beskæring af uberettigede fortjenester i forbindelse med salg af emissionsrettigheder.
On 31 March 2009, the Finnish Government adopted a policy on cutting unearned profits from emissions trading.
Regeringen har meddelt, at beskæringen af de såkaldte windfallfortjenester gennemføres i form af en skat til staten til dækning af generelle udgifter.
The Government announced that so-called windfall profits would be cut by means of a tax payable to the State, the revenue from which would be used for general expenditure.
Skatten lægges på vandkraft og atomkraft opført før 1997 eller før vedtagelsen af Kyotoaftalen.
The tax would be levied on hydro power and nuclear power generation from capacity built before 1997, the year in which the Kyoto Protocol was adopted.
Skatten skal ikke opkræves for vindkraft, vandkraft i mindre skala eller kombineret kraftvarmeproduktion.
It would not be levied on wind power, small hydro power or combined heat and power production.
Endvidere er udgangspunktet for regeringens lovforslag, at industriens strøm til eget forbrug og andelsstrøm ikke pålægges skat.
Moreover, the government's draft is based on the assumption that no tax would be levied on industry's use of its own electricity or on electricity supplied to shareholders in a generating company.
Handel med kvoter for emissioner bør indgå som en del af en omfattende og sammenhængende pakke af politikker og foranstaltninger, der gennemføres på medlemsstats- og fællesskabsplan (2003/87/EF, betragtning 23). —
emission allowance trading should form part of a comprehensive and coherent package of policies and measures implemented at Member State and Community level (Directive 2003/87/EC, Recital 23); —
Målene om at afskaffe konkurrenceforvridning i Fællesskabet og sikre den højeste grad af økonomisk effektivitet i forbindelse med omdannelsen af Fællesskabet til en sikker og bæredygtig økonomi med lave udledninger af drivhusgasser indebærer, at det er uhensigtsmæssigt at behandle økonomiske sektorer, der er omfattet af fællesskabsordningen, forskelligt i de enkelte medlemsstater (2009/29/EF, betragtning 17).
the objectives of eliminating distortions to intra-Community competition and of ensuring the highest degree of economic efficiency in the transformation of the Community economy towards a safe and sustainable low-carbon economy make it inappropriate to treat economic sectors differently under the Community scheme in individual Member States (Directive 2009/29/EC, Recital 17).
Mener Kommissionen, at Finlands regerings ovennævnte politik om beskatning af emissionsfrie energiformer (vandkraft, atomkraft) er i overensstemmelse med kvotedirektivet og dets mål om harmoniseret fremme af emissionsfrie energiformer?
Does the Commission consider that the aforementioned Finnish Government policy on taxing forms of energy which do not release any emissions (hydro power, nuclear power) accords with the Emissions Trading Directive and the coherent promotion of emission-free forms of energy which is its objective?
Anser Kommissionen det for korrekt, ud fra kvotedirektivets perspektiv, at stille emissionsfri produktion på elmarkedet i en anden position på baggrund af f.eks. produktionens bygningstidspunkt, produktionens placering eller den valgte emissionsfrie teknologi?
From the point of view of the Emissions Trading Directive, does the Commission consider it right to place emission-free generation in a different position on the electricity market, for instance on the basis of the time of construction of generating capacity, its location or the emission-free technology chosen?
Hvilke kombinationseffekter mener Kommissionen vil opstå med hensyn til en uforstyrret funktion af salg af emissionsrettigheder og det indre marked samt til vedligeholdelse af den emissionsfrie produktion og investeringer for så vidt andre medlemslande ud over Finland begynder at beskatte forskellige former for emissionsfri elproduktion?
What combined effects does the Commission anticipate arising from the point of view of the undistorted operation of emissions trading and the internal market, the maintenance of emission-free generation and investment if in addition to Finland other Member States also begin to tax various forms of emission-free electricity generation?

Europa-Parlamentets beslutning om naturkatastrofer i Europa (brande og oversvømmelser) ( P6_TA(2005)0334 ) af 8. september 2005 (punkt 13) beklagede EU's ministerråds beslutning om at fjerne den tildelte støtte til landmændene til etablering af brandbælter og forsvarede genindførelse af støtten.
In its resolution of 8 September 2005 on natural disasters (fires and floods) in Europe ( P6_TA(2005)0334 — paragraph 13) Parliament deplored the Council’s decision to abolish the aid to farmers for creating fire-breaks and called for the funding in question to be reinstated.
I benægtende fald, hvorfor insisterer Rådet på at afskære landmændene fra denne støtte?
If not, why is it continuing to deny farmers this support?
Rådet har ikke undersøgt dette specifikke spørgsmål, eftersom det ikke har modtaget nogen forslag fra Kommissionen vedrørende denne form for støtte.
