Indtil en landmand havde betalt sin indkomstskat, moms og sygesikrings-/socialsikringsbidrag og — efter omstændighederne — havde tilbagebetalt uudnyttede beløb eller betalt bøder i forbindelse med misbrug af støtte (dvs. så længe han skyldte staten penge), afviste personalet ved Den Tjekkiske Republiks landbrugsministerium alle yderligere ansøgninger om landbrugsstøtte, som den pågældende måtte indgive.
Until a farmer had paid his income tax, VAT and healthcare/social-security contributions and — where appropriate — had returned unused amounts and paid penalties relating to misused funding (i.e. as long as he was in debt to the state), staff at the Czech Republic's Ministry of Agriculture would not accept any further applications for agricultural funding and support which he might submit.
Dette var en meget effektiv metode til at udøve kontrol med betalingerne.
This was a very efficient and effective means of exercising control over payments.
Siden Den Tjekkiske Republik tiltrådte EU, har det været uklart, om Den Tjekkiske Republik er berettiget til på denne måde at tvinge landmænd til at betale deres gæld og restancer.
Since the Czech Republic joined the EU it has not been clear whether the Czech Republic is entitled in such a way to compel farmers to pay their debts and their arrears.
De finansielle midler, der bruges til landbrugsstøtte, som udbetales til tjekkiske landmænd via EU-forvaltningen, fratrækkes Den Tjekkiske Republiks bidrag.
The financial resources used for the agricultural funding and support which are paid out via the EU administration to Czech farmers are drawn from the Czech Republic's contributions.
En landmand, der er afhængig af landbrugsstøtte, og som ikke betaler, hvad han skylder staten, forsørger sig selv på kunstig vis, og hans gæld vokser.
A farmer who depends on payments of agricultural funding and support and who does not pay what he owes to the state is supporting himself by artificial means and his unpaid debts mount up.
Den Tjekkiske Republik har derfor en interesse i at fortsætte med at benytte denne effektive metode til at udøve kontrol med betalingerne.
Hence the Czech Republic has an interest in continuing to use this effective means of exercising control over payments.
Der er imidlertid delte meninger om, hvorvidt den har ret til at bruge denne metode.
However, the right to use that means is the subject of dispute.
Er Den Tjekkiske Republik berettiget til at afvise at behandle ansøgninger om landbrugsstøtte fra landmænd, som åbenlyst kommer til at skylde staten penge, fordi de er holdt op med at overholde en af Den Tjekkiske Republiks love?
Is the Czech Republic entitled not to accept for processing any applications for agricultural support from farmers who obviously get into debt with the state because they have ceased to observe one of the Czech Republic's laws?

Om: Symboler for geografiske områder på et kontor tilhørende en ansat i Kommissionen
Subject: Territorial symbols displayed in the office of a Commission employee
En artikel i en cypriotisk avis, der afslørede, at en ansat i Kommissionens Generaldirektorat for Udvidelse, der beskæftiger sig med spørgsmål vedrørende Cypern, havde flaget for den tyrkiske fupstat, "Den Tyrkiske Republik Nordcypern", hængende på sit kontor, har vakt stor opstandelse.
The revelation by a Sunday newspaper that the flag of the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ was on display in the office of an official employed by the Commission's Directorate-General for Enlargement and responsible for matters relating to Cyprus has caused a considerable stir.
Den fungerende generaldirektør for udvidelse reagerede ved at klandre avisen og journalisten for dårlig kvalitet og beskylde redaktionen for at jage efter "billige sensationshistorier" til at fylde avissiderne.
The response of the acting Director-General for Enlargement, however, was to disparage the journalistic standards of the newspaper and the reporter concerned and accuse the editing staff of ‘cheap sensationalism’.
Hvordan stiller Kommissionen sig til, at dens ansatte, der beskæftiger sig med Cypern-spørgsmålet, på deres kontorer skilter med symboler for lande, der hverken er anerkendte i henhold til folkeretten og FN-resolutionerne eller af EU?
What view does the Commission take of the display in the office of its employees responsible for matters relating to Cyprus of symbols of territories not recognised under international law in UN resolutions or by the EU?
Mener den, at mæglingsbestræbelserne med henblik på en løsning af Cypern-spørgsmålet vil blive lettet af, at dens ansatte opfører sig så partisk?
Does it believe that arbitration efforts regarding the Cyprus question will be facilitated by such overt demonstrations of partisanship on the part of its employees?
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen at træffe for at undgå den slags hændelser i fremtiden?
What measures will it take to avoid any future recurrence of such episodes?
Mener Kommissionen, at en kommissionstjenestemands forsøg på at kritisere kvaliteten af denne nyhedsformidling udgør et klart forsøg på indirekte censur?
Does the Commission consider that the attempt by one of its officials to disparage the quality of the journal publishing the article is an overt attempt at indirect censorship?
Finder Kommissionen disse kommentarer etisk korrekte ud fra princippet om pressefrihed?
Does it consider such observations ethically defensible, given the principle of freedom of the press?

Om: Valery Pasat-sagen i Moldova
Subject: The Valery Pasat Trial in Moldova
Da Europa-Kommissionen nu står umiddelbart over for at åbne en permanent repræsentation i Republikken Moldova i erkendelse af dens betydning som en fremtidig EU-nabo efter Rumæniens tiltrædelse, der formodes at finde sted i 2007, er Kommissionen da opmærksom på de sigtelser, der er rejst mod den tidligere moldovanske forsvarsminister Valery Pasat, som blev arresteret under et besøg i Moldova den 11. marts 2005.
As the European Commission is now about to open a permanent Delegation in The Republic of Moldova in recognition of its importance as a future EU neighbour after Romanian accession, presumed to be in 2007, is the Commission aware of the criminal charges laid against the former Moldovan Defence Minister Valery Pasat, who was arrested while visiting Moldova on 11 March this year.
Pasat, som nu bor i Rusland og arbejder for Ruslands Forenede Elektricitetssystemer som leder, bliver retsforfulgt for beslutninger, der blev truffet under hans tid som forsvarsminister i den tidligere sovjetstat fra 1997-1999.
Mr Pasat, who now resides in Russia, and works for United Electricity Systems of Russia as an executive, is being prosecuted for decisions taken during his time as Defence Minister in the former Soviet state from 1997-1999.
Han afviser samtlige anklagepunkter, som det kan tage seks måneder at undersøge fuldstændig, men et indledende retsmøde er fastlagt til den 27. juni.
He denies all the charges, which could take six months to fully investigate but an initial trial hearing is scheduled for 27 June.
Sagen vedrører salget af MiG-29-jetfly til USA i forbindelse med Nunn-Lugar-nedrustningsprogrammet for tidligere sovjetstater, hvor Pasat sigtes for at have afvist et bedre tilbud på jetflyene fra en tredjepart og derfor ikke at have opnået den bedste pris til hans land.
The case relates to the sale of MiG-29 jets to the United States under the Nunn-Lugar disarmament programme for former Soviet States whereby Mr Pasat is accused of rejecting a better offer for the jets from a third party and therefore not getting the best price for his country.
Der er tilsyneladende ikke nogen sigtelser for ulovlige personlige betalinger til Pasat, og han hævder, at USA lagde pres på ham, for at få ham til at skille sit land af med overskydende våben så hurtigt som muligt.
There is apparently no suggestion of illegal personal payments to Mr Pasat and he claims he was under pressure from the United States. to rid his country of surplus weaponry as quickly as possible.
Det er foruroligende, at der er forlydender i pressen om politisk forudindtagethed i forbindelse med denne retssag, da han støtter det moldovanske oppositionsparti, Den Demokratiske Moldovanske Blok, og aktivt har kritiseret præsident Vladimir Voronin, som er landets kommunistiske statsoverhoved.
It is worrying that there are press suggestions of a political bias to this trial as he is a supporter of the Moldovan opposition party, the Democratic Moldova Bloc, and a vocal critic of President Vladimir Voronin, the country’s Communist Head of State.
Hans familie er dybt bekymret over, at han bliver holdt fængslet under elendige forhold, nægtes ret til regelmæssig at modtage besøg fra andre end hans advokat og et besøg af hans mor, og han har et presserende behov for en operation for en medicinsk tilstand, som er blevet ham nægtet.
There are concerns from his family that he is being held in poor conditions, denied regular visitors other than his trial lawyer and one visit by his mother and he is in urgent need of an operation for a medical condition which has been denied to him.
Da Moldova gør sig forhåbninger om EU-medlemskab og har undertegnet en partnerskabs- og samarbejdsaftale med EU, kan Kommissionen da følge denne retssag for at sikre en fair proces uden politisk forudindtagethed på et niveau, der forventes af et land, der ønsker at deltage i den europæiske naboskabspolitik?
Given Moldovan stated aspirations to EU membership, and as a signatory to a Partnership and Cooperation agreement with the EU can the Commission observe the proceedings of this trial to ensure a due process without political bias to the levels expected of a country wishing to be part of the European Neighbourhood Policy?

Om: Euroen, ECB og den økonomiske krise
Subject: Euro, ECB and economic crisis
Den økonomiske krise, der har ramt EU og i særlig høj grad visse medlemsstater, og den deraf følgende foruroligende høje arbejdsløshed, hænger nøje sammen med den høje eurokurs og liberaliseringen af visse produktionssektorer inden for WTO, blandt andet tekstil- og beklædningsindustrien.
The economic crisis which has hit the EU and a number of states in particular, and the resulting unemployment which has reached alarming levels, have gone hand-in-hand with the high euro rate and the liberalisation of certain production sectors within the WTO, such as the textile and clothing industry.
Den nuværende sociale krise er kilde til bekymring for mange familier, og den påvirker især de unge mennesker, der mister troen på fremtiden.
The current social crisis is a source of concern to many families and is affecting, in particular, young people, left without prospects for the future.
I den igangværende politiske debat, hævdes det, at ECB's pengepolitik, der er uafhængig af medlemsstaternes økonomiske politikker, delvis er skyld i krisen i EU.
In the current political debate, it is claimed that the ECB's monetary policy, which is independent of the Member States' economic policies, is partly to blame for the EU crisis.
Er Rådet enig i dette synspunkt?
Does the Council share this view?
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at det ville være hensigtsmæssigt at gennemføre en grundig undersøgelse af de negative konsekvenser af, at ECB er fuldstændige uafhængig af medlemsstaternes økonomiske politikker?
Does it not consider that a detailed assessment should be made of the possible adverse effects of the ECB's total autonomy from the economic policies applied by the Member States?
Er Rådet ikke enig i, at indførelsen af 1- og 2-eurosedler kan vende tendensen til at anvende mønter uden at tænke sig om, hvilket får priserne til at stige, og at det ville imødekomme mange borgeres ønske?
Does it agree that the introduction of 1 and 2 euro banknotes could counter the tendency with coins to spend without thinking, which pushes up prices, and that this would meet the wishes of many ordinary citizens?
Kan Rådet nu, hvor der er gået tre år siden indførelsen af euroen, oplyse, om konsekvenserne er blevet analyseret for at vurdere, hvilken effekt euroen har haft på stigningen i leveomkostningerne i de forskellige sektorer i medlemsstaterne i forhold til de tidligere nationale møntenheder?
Now that three years have passed since the introduction of the euro, will the Council state whether the results have been analysed in order to assess what the euro's impact has been in the individual Member States on any increase in the cost of living in the various sectors, in comparison with the previous national currencies?
Traktaten og Den Europæiske Centralbanks statut udstikker rammerne for ECB's uafhængighed.
The Treaty and the European Central Bank's statute establish the framework for the independence of the ECB.
Ingen medlemsstat har på nogen samling i Rådet draget disse rammer i tvivl.
This framework has not been called into question by any Member State at any meeting of the Council.
Inden for disse rammer er hovedmålet for ESC at fastholde prisstabilitet, samt — uden at hovedmålet derved berøres — at støtte de generelle økonomiske politikker i Fællesskabet.
The framework establishes a primary objective of maintaining price stability, with a further objective, without prejudice to the primary objective, of supporting the general economic policies of the Community.
Endvidere præciseres ECB's opgaver og beføjelser, herunder dens fuldstændige uafhængighed af alle EF-institutioner og ‑organer samt af medlemsstaternes regeringer.
It further outlines the tasks and powers of the ECB, including its full independence from all Community institutions and bodies, as well as from Member State governments.
I henhold til traktatens artikel 113, stk. 3, skal ECB holde Europa-Parlamentet orienteret på passende måde, og der skal være en regelmæssig udveksling af synspunkter mellem ECB's formand og Europa-Parlamentets kompetente udvalg.
Article 113(3) of the Treaty provides for the appropriate provision of information by the ECB to the European Parliament, as well as for the regular exchanges of view that take place between the ECB President and the relevant Parliamentary Committees.
I henhold til traktatens artikel 106 har ECB eneret til at bemyndige udstedelse af europengesedler, og den har ikke tilkendegivet, at den agter at udstede 1- eller 2-­eurosedler.
The ECB has the exclusive right to authorise the issue of euro denominated banknotes under Article 106 of the Treaty and has not indicated any intention to authorise the issue of notes with a face value of either one or two euro.
På Kommissionens og ECB's websteder er der let adgang til omfattende oplysninger om overgangen til euroen, herunder om dens følger for priserne.
The Commission and the ECB have extensive information on the changeover to the euro, including its impact on prices, readily available on their websites.

Om: Sensibilisering i forbindelse med anvendelse af antibiotika
Subject: Cultivating awareness of the use of antibiotics
Den uhæmmede indtagelse af antibiotika kræver talrige menneskeliv, idet alle mulige mikrober — hvor sygehusbakterierne MRSA og MREA er de mest iøjnefaldende — er blevet mere resistente over for lægemidler.
The unbridled taking of antibiotics takes its toll on human life because a wide range of germs — the hospital bacteria MRSA and MREA being the highest-profile examples — are becoming more resistant to medicines.
Selv om gennemførelsen af oplysningskampagner, som henviser til farerne i forbindelse med overdreven brug af antibiotika, har medført et fald i forbruget af antibiotika, er der ikke sket en nedgang i resistensen i sygehuse.
Although information campaigns drawing attention to the dangers associated with excessive taking of antibiotics have reduced their consumption, the resistance of infectious agents at hospitals to antibiotics has not declined.
Tværtimod synes resistensen her at stige.
On the contrary, it seems to be increasing.
Også hvile- og plejehjem kæmper i mellemtiden med problemet.
The problem has now spread to rest homes and nursing homes.
I Belgien pådrager 115000 mennesker sig årligt en infektion under et ophold på et sygehus.
In Belgium 115000 people are infected every year while staying in hospital.
Omkring 3000 patienter overlever ikke denne infektion.
Around 3000 people die of the infection contracted.
Herman Goossens, som er mikrobiolog ved universitetssygehuset i Antwerpen, mener, at proceduren i forbindelse med ordinering af antibiotika er blevet forbedret, men at der stadig ordineres for meget antibiotika.
Herman Goossens, a microbiologist at Antwerp Teaching Hospital, considers that prescribing of antibiotics has improved but that too many are still being prescribed.
Han er af den opfattelse, at det er nødvendigt hele tiden at sensibilisere de praktiserende læger og offentligheden.
He believes that it remains necessary to cultivate awareness among general practitioners and the public.
Problemet bliver så meget mere presserende, som det er lidet sandsynligt, at en ny generation af lægemidler kan afhjælpe problemet.
The problem is regarded as all the more urgent because it is unlikely that a new generation of medicines can solve it.
Erkender Kommissionen de farer for folkesundheden, som på mellemlang sigt hænger sammen med overdreven brug af antibiotika?
Does the Commission recognise the medium-term dangers to public health associated with excessive taking of antibiotics?
Er Kommissionen endvidere klar over, at dette er et problem, som går ud over det nationale plan, og vil den derfor frigøre midler, således at der kan træffes foranstaltninger på EU-plan mod en overdreven og uhensigtsmæssig brug af antibiotika?
Does the Commission appreciate, moreover, that this is a problem which goes beyond Member State level, and will it therefore make appropriations available to take action at EU level against excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics?
I bekræftende fald hvilke konkrete foranstaltninger vil den træffe? —
If so, what specific measures will it take? —

Om: Beskyttelse af etniske mindretal — forbud mod det sorbiske sprog på handicaphjemmet Maria-Martha-Haus i Panschwitz-Kuckau (Sachsen, Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland)
Subject: Protection of ethnic minorities — ban on the use of the Sorbian language at the Maria-Martha-Haus care home in Panschwitz-Kuckau (Saxony, Federal Republic of Germany)
På handicaphjemmet Maria-Martha-Haus i klostret St. Marienstern blev der den 27. november 2003 gennem følgende instruks nedlagt forbud mod brugen af det sorbiske sprog: "Det gentages, at der i arbejdstiden og under tilstedeværelse af handicappede og ansatte, som ikke behersker det sorbiske sprog, skal tales tysk."
A ban on the use of the Sorbian language at the Maria‑Martha‑Haus care home for the disabled, which belongs to the St. Marienstern convent, was issued on 27 November 2003, along with the following notice: ‘we repeat that the language used during the performance of duties in the presence of disabled persons and non‑Sorbian‑speaking employees should be German’.
Senere stod der i en intern meddelelse af 7. juli 2004 følgende: "På given foranledning henvises der til, at samtlige instrukser, navnlig den af 27. november 2003, skal overholdes af alle medarbejdere.
Thereafter, the following internal notice was issued on 7 July 2004: ‘for the reasons given, I would point out that official rules, particularly those of 27 November 2003, must be respected by all employees.
Overtrædelse af instrukserne vil få arbejdsretlige konsekvenser."
Infringement of official rules will have employment consequences.’
Medarbejderne på Maria-Martha-Haus blev gjort bekendt med indholdet af den omtalte bestemmelse.
Employees at the Maria‑Martha‑Haus were informed of the above rules.
Efter protester fra den sorbiske, tyske og internationale offentlighed erklærede kulturministeriet i delstaten Sachsen i et fjernsynsinterview om det sorbiske spørgsmål, at det ikke så retlige problemer i denne forbindelse.
After protests by the Sorbian, German and international public, the Saxon Ministry of Science and the Fine Arts with responsibility for Sorbian affairs stated, first in a television interview, that it did not see any legal problems in connection with this matter.
Først efter en skrivelse fra Domowina — foreningen af sorbere i Lausitz — af 28. august 2004 og en forespørgsel i samme sag fra den første næstformand for landdagen i Sachsen, Regina Schulz fra PDS (landdagens største oppositionsparti), til den kompetente minister svarede kulturministeriet den 25. februar 2005, at instrukserne ikke er i modstrid med de arbejdsretlige regler, men at de imidlertid er problematiske i forhold til mindretalsrettighederne.
It was only in response to a letter dated 28 August 2004 from Domowina, the Union of Lusatian Sorbs, and to a question by the First Vice‑President of the Saxon State Parliament (a member of the largest opposition party, PDS) to the relevant Minister, that the Ministry replied on 25 February 2005 that the service rules did not infringe employment legislation but that, in terms of human rights, they were at the very least problematic.
Således består det skandaløse forbud mod det sorbiske sprog i handicaphjemmet Maria-Martha-Haus af 27. november 2003 trods adskillige drøftelser, løsningsforslag og offentlige protester.
Thus, despite many proposals to discuss the matter and have it resolved, and in the face of many public protests, this disgraceful ban on the use of the Sorbian language, which has been in force since 27 November 2003, remains in place at the Maria‑Martha‑Haus care home.
Hvad er Kommissionen holdning til det omtalte forbud af det sorbiske sprog i betragtning af de europæiske bestemmelser til beskyttelse af etniske og nationale mindretal samt den kulturelle og sproglige mangfoldighed i Europa?
What is the Commission’s view of this ban on the use of the Sorbian language in view of European rules on the protection of ethnic and national minorities and in view of the European values of cultural and linguistic diversity?
