Vil Kommissionen i anledning af »det europæiske år for lige muligheder for alle« iværksætte en undersøgelse af den måde, hvorpå englændere udsættes for en urimelig diskrimination og behandles som andenrangs borgere i deres eget land i sammenligning med den måde, hvorpå skotter behandles i Skotland?
Under the auspices of the ‘European Year of Equal Opportunities for All’, will the Commission mount an investigation into the way in which the English are unfairly discriminated against and treated as second class citizens in their own country compared to the way that the Scots are treated in Scotland?

Om: Ytringsfrihed i Marokko
Subject: Freedom of expression in Morocco
I januar 2007 fik Driss Ksikes og Sanaa al-Aji, henholdsvis udgiver af og journalist på den marokkanske ugeavis »Nichane«, hver en bøde på 7 200 EUR og en betinget fængselsstraf på tre år for at have krænket islam.
In January 2007, Mr Driss Ksikes and Mr Sanaa al-Aji, the publisher of and a journalist on the Moroccan weekly magazine Nichane respectively, were each sentenced to a fine of EUR 7200 and a suspended prison sentence of three years for insulting Islam.
De havde i en artikel gjort grin med denne religion.
They had made jokes about that religion in an article.
Desuden må ugeavisen ikke udkomme i to måneder.
Publication of the magazine was also banned for two months.
Det var den marokkanske premierminister Driss Jettou, der den 20. december 2006 forbød ugeavisen efter klager fra det islamistiske websted Khorafa.org (John Thorne, »Moroccan court convicts 2 journalists of insulting Islam«, Associated Press, 15. januar 2007).
It was Morocco's Prime Minister Driss Jettou who on 20 December 2006 banned the magazine after complaints from the Islamic website Khorafa.org (John Thorne, ‘Moroccan court convicts 2 journalists of insulting Islam’, Associated Press, 15 January 2007).
I artikel 2 i associeringsaftalen af 18. marts 2000 mellem De Europæiske Fællesskaber og deres medlemsstater på den ene side og Kongeriget Marokko på den anden side bestemmes det, at respekten for de demokratiske principper og de grundlæggende menneskerettigheder udgør et væsentligt element i aftalen.
Article 2 of the association agreement of 18 March 2000 between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Morocco, of the other part, lays down that respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights is an ‘essential element’ of the agreement.
I artikel 90, stk. 2, bestemmes, at finder en part, at den anden part har tilsidesat en forpligtelse i henhold til denne aftale, kan den træffe passende foranstaltninger.
Article 90(2) lays down that if either party considers that the other party has failed to fulfil an obligation under the agreement, it may take appropriate measures.
Den meddeler forud herfor associeringsrådet alle nødvendige oplysninger for at muliggøre en grundig undersøgelse af situationen med henblik på at nå frem til en for alle parter acceptabel løsning.
Before it does so, relevant information should be supplied to the Association Council, which may examine whether there is a solution acceptable to all parties.
Finder Rådet, at den ovennævnte afgørelse udgør en tilsidesættelse af et væsentligt element i aftalen, jf. artikel 2?
Does the Council consider that the above sentence handed down by the court violates the ‘essential element’ clause of Article 2?
I bekræftende fald, hvilke skridt vil Rådet da tage i overensstemmelse med artikel 90 og inden for rammerne af den politiske dialog, der er fastsat i aftalen?
If so, what steps will the Council take pursuant to Article 90 and in the framework of the political dialogue provided for by the agreement?
Det er et vigtigt led i EU's politiske dialog med Marokko at gøre status over og følge udviklingen i den politiske reform i Marokko.
The state and development of political reform in Morocco constitute an important part of the EU's political dialogue with Morocco.
Rådet tager regelmæssigt disse emner op over for Marokko på bilaterale møder inden for rammerne af associeringsaftalen mellem EU og Marokko.
The Council raises these issues regularly with Morocco in the framework of bilateral meetings in the context of the EU‑Morocco Association Agreement.
Der blev ført omfattende drøftelser i det nyoprettede underudvalg vedrørende menneskerettigheder, regeringsførelse og demokrati den 16. november 2006 ligesom på mødet i associeringsudvalget den 17. november 2006 og på mødet inden for rammerne af den styrkede politiske dialog den 14. december 2006.
Substantial discussions were held in the newly established Sub‑Committee on Human Rights, Governance and Democracy on 16 November 2006 as well as at the Association Committee meeting on 17 November 2006 and the meeting within the reinforced political dialogue on 14 December 2006.
Som led i den handlingsplan for den europæiske naboskabspolitik, der blev vedtaget af EU og Marokko i 2005, er der opnået enighed om et vigtigt kapitel vedrørende prioriterede områder i den politiske dialog og reformforanstaltningerne.
In the context of the EU‑Morocco European neighbourhood action plan concluded in 2005, an important chapter on priority areas for political dialogue and actions for reform has been agreed upon.
Et underkapitel vedrører forenings- og ytringsfriheden med specifik reference til drøftelser, der skal føres mellem EU og Marokko om udviklingen i Marokkos pressekodeks.
One sub‑chapter is devoted to the freedom of association and expression with specific reference to discussions to be held between the EU and Morocco on the evolution of Morocco's press code.
Pressekodeksen pålægger i sin nuværende form stadig publikationer og journalister høje bøder og fængselsdomme.
In its present form the press code still exposes press publications and journalists to high fines and imprisonment sentences.
Reformen af pressekodeksen drøftes i øjeblikket og skulle blive forelagt for det marokkanske parlament i løbet af forårssamlingen med henblik på en afskaffelse af fængslingsbestemmelserne.
The reform of the press code is currently under discussion and should be brought before the Moroccan Parliament during the spring session with a view to abolition of the imprisonment charges.
EU's missionschefer i Rabat tog specifikt sagen om Nichane op under en længerevarende drøftelse med premierminister Jettou den 16. januar 2007.
The EU Heads of Mission in Rabat raised the Nichane case specifically in the course of an extensive discussion with Prime Minister Jettou on 16 January 2007.
Rådet vil fortsat følge sagen nøje.
The Council will continue to follow this matter closely.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0295/07
Om: Benægtelse af folkemord
Subject: Denial of genocide
Den tyske justitsminister Brigitte Zypries (SPD) vil gøre holocaustbenægtelse strafbart i alle EU-­medlemsstaterne, således at man kan blive retsforfulgt for sådanne benægtelser i hele EU.
The German SPD Minister of Justice, Mrs Brigitte Zypries, wishes to make Holocaust denial a criminal offence in all EU Member States so that prosecutions can be brought for such denial everywhere in the EU.
Anvendelse af nazi-symboler skal også gøres strafbart i alle EU-­medlemsstater.
It is also proposed that the use of Nazi symbols should become a criminal offence in every EU Member State.
Dette initiativ er blevet fremlagt som en af det tyske EU-­formandskabs prioriteter (Stephen Castle, »Germany revives plan to outlaw Holocaust denial throughout EU«, The Independent, 15. januar 2007).
This initiative is presented as one of the priorities of the German Presidency of the Council (Stephen Castle, ‘Germany revives plan to outlaw Holocaust denial throughout EU’, The Independent , 15 January 2007).
Nobelprisvinder og holocaustoverlevende Eli Wiesel kaldte det armenske folkemord for »holocausten før holocausten«.
The Nobel Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Eli Wiesel has called the genocide against the Armenians ‘the Holocaust before the Holocaust’.
I 2005 anførte den kendte historiker Huberta von Voss i sit omfangsrige værk »»Porträt einer Höffnung", at der i begyndelsen af det tyvende århundrede utvivlsomt var tale om et reelt folkemord på amenierne.
In 2005, the well-known historian Huberta von Voss demonstrated in her substantial work ‘Porträt einer Hoffnung’ that at the beginning of the 20th century a real genocide was incontrovertibly carried out against the Armenians.
Selv om den tidligere franske udenrigsminister Barnier i december 2004 erklærede, at det armenske spørgsmål skulle løses inden tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne kunne begynde (»Armenien spaltet Ankara und Paris«, Die Presse, 8. februar 2005), var og er dette ikke noget problem for EU.
Although the former French Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr Barnier said in December 2004 that the Armenian question must be resolved before the accession negotiations began (‘Armenien spaltet Ankara und Paris’, Die Presse , 8 February 2005), the EU has chosen to regard this as being of no importance.
I december 2004 vedtog det nederlandske parlament en særlig Armenien-beslutning som en reaktion på det officielle Europas manglende drøftelse af dette spørgsmål (»Erdogan urges Debré to drop genocide allegations«, New Europe, 13.-­19. februar 2005).
In December 2004, the Netherlands Parliament adopted a special resolution on Armenia in response to the failure by ‘official Europe’ to deal with this issue (‘Erdogan urges Debré to drop genocide allegations’, New Europe , 13-19 February 2005).
Er Rådet enig i, at den retlige definition af massemordene på armenierne er folkemord?
Does the Council agree with the legal definition of the mass murders of Armenians as genocide?
I bekræftende fald, finder Rådet det da retligt, politisk og moralsk acceptabelt at gøre benægtelse af det jødiske folkemord strafbart, men ikke det armenske?
If so, does the Council consider it legally, politically and morally acceptable to make it a criminal offence to deny the genocide against the Jews but not the genocide against the Armenians?
Det udkast til rammeafgørelse om bekæmpelse af racisme og fremmedhad, som det ærede medlem henviser til, giver medlemsstaterne mulighed for at erklære følgende adfærd for strafbar: offentligt forsvar for eller benægtelse eller bagatellisering af folkedrab, forbrydelser mod menneskeheden eller krigsforbrydelser som defineret i artikel 6, 7 og 8 i statutten for Den Internationale Straffedomstol (Rom-statutten) og i artikel 6 i chartret for Den Internationale Militærdomstol af 1945 (Nürnberg-domstolen), hvis en sådan adfærd er rettet mod en gruppe af personer eller et medlem af en sådan gruppe, der er defineret under henvisning til race, hudfarve, religion, herkomst eller national eller etnisk oprindelse.
The draft framework decision on combating racism and xenophobia, to which the Honourable Member refers, provides for on option for Member States to make the public condoning, denial or gross trivialisation of crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes as defined in Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court (‘Statute of Rome’) and in Article 6 of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal of 1945 (Nuremberg Tribunal) directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin a punishable offence.
Udkastet til rammeafgørelse karakteriserer ikke specifikke hændelser som folkedrab, men henviser derimod til statutten for Den Internationale Straffedomstol og chartret for Den Internationale Militærdomstol af 1945 og opstiller således en generel definition.
The draft framework decision does not characterise specific occurrences as genocide; rather, it refers to the Statute of the International Criminal Court and the Charter of the International Military Tribunal of 1945, thus establishing a general definition.
Tyrkiet må som kandidatland dele Den Europæiske Unions værdier og mål, som de fremgår af traktaterne.
As a candidate State Turkey must share the values and objectives of the European Union as set out in the Treaties.
Det er derfor nødvendigt, at landet utvetydigt forpligter sig til gode naboskabsforbindelser og til at løse uafklarede grænsestridigheder efter princippet om fredelig bilæggelse af konflikter i overensstemmelse med De Forenede Nationers pagt.
Unequivocal commitment to good‑neighbourly relations and the resolution of outstanding border disputes in accordance with the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with the United Nations Charter are therefore required.
Disse spørgsmål indgår i forhandlingsrammen og er desuden prioriteter på kort sigt i det reviderede tiltrædelsespartnerskab.
Those issues are covered in the negotiating framework and also constitute short‑term priorities in the revised accession partnership.
Inden for rammerne af associeringsaftalen og de forskellige fora for den politiske dialog tilskynder Den Europæiske Union kraftigt Tyrkiet til at øge sin indsats på dette område i et klima af åbenhed, dialog og forståelse og til at forbedre sit forhold til nabolandene, herunder Armenien.
Within the framework of the association agreement and the political‑dialogue fora the European Union strongly encourages Turkey to step up its efforts to that end in an open spirit of dialogue and understanding and improve its relations with neighbouring countries, including Armenia.
På den baggrund tilskynder Rådet fortsat Tyrkiet til at gøre fremskridt på området.
Against this background, the Council will continue to encourage Turkey to make progress in this area.

Subject: Developing countries and the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
Aftalen om subsidier og udligningsforanstaltninger gav udviklingslandene indtil år 2000 og de mindst udviklede lande indtil 2003 til at fjerne importsubsidierne, det vil sige de subsidier, der har til formål at støtte den nationale produktion og undgå import.
Under the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures the developing countries and the least-developed countries were given the years 2000 and 2003 respectively as deadlines for abolishing subsidies intended to replace imports — i.e. to aid domestic production and to prevent imports.

Om: WTO-tvistbilæggelsesprocedurer i henhold til aftalen om subsidier og udligningsforanstaltninger
Subject: Current WTO dispute-settlement cases based on the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
WTO har mulighed for at fremskynde en tvistbilæggelsesprocedure, hvis der er mistanke om, at et af dens medlemmer gør brug af forbudte subsidier i henhold til aftalen om subsidier og udligningsforanstaltninger.
The WTO allows access to a ‘fast-stream’ dispute-settlement procedure if it is suspected that any of its members is awarding subsidies which are banned under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvilke WTO-­tvistbilæggelsesprocedurer der er i gang vedrørende forbudte subsidier inden for fiske-, skibsbygnings- og tekstilindustrien?
Will the Commission say what WTO dispute-settlement procedures are currently under way in respect of subsidies banned in the fishing, shipbuilding and textile sectors?
Hvilke lande og hvilke former for subsidier drejer det sig i givet fald om?

I protokollen vedrørende betingelserne for Rumæniens og Bulgariens tiltrædelse af Den Europæiske Union er der fastsat visse overgangsforanstaltninger på området for veterinær og fytosanitær lovgivning.
The Protocol concerning the conditions and arrangements for admission of the Republic of Romania and Bulgaria to the European Union provides for a number of transitional measures in the field of veterinary and phytosanitary legislation.
For visse rumænske og bulgarske fabriksanlæg, hvor der fremstilles produkter af kød fra kvæg, fjerkrækød, mælk og mælkeprodukter, er det frem til den 31. december 2009 tilladt også at fremstille produkter, der ikke opfylder kravene i fællesskabslovgivningen.
More specifically, a certain number of Romanian and Bulgarian meat, poultry, milk and dairy production establishments are permitted to continue — until 31 December 2009 — producing even products which do not meet the requirements of Community law.
Kommissionen bedes besvare følgende:
In view of the above, will the Commission say:
Hvordan sikres det inden for rammerne af den frie bevægelighed for varer fra 1. januar 2007, at kun de produkter, der opfylder fællesskabsbestemmelserne om fødevaresikkerhed, sælges i Fællesskabet?
Within the framework of freedom of movement of goods since 1 January 2007, what measures is it taking to ensure that only products which meet Community food safety standards are marketed in the intra-Community market?
Er der vedtaget gennemførelsesforanstaltninger for den ovennævnte overgangsordning?
Have implementing measures been adopted for carrying over this transitional regime?
Overlades det til de to landes myndigheder at foretage kontrol på stedet for at begrænse markedsføringen af de produkter, der ikke opfylder bestemmelserne, på det nationale marked?
Have the authorities of the two countries in question been entrusted with conducting spot checks in order to restrict the movement of non-compliant products in the domestic market?
I hvilket omfang har myndighederne i de øvrige medlemsstater ret til at foretage indgående kontrol med importen af produkter af de ovennævnte kategorier fra Rumænien og Bulgarien?

Fredag den 19. januar 2007 blev den tyrkiske journalist af armensk oprindelse, Hrant Dink, myrdet.
On Friday, 19 January 2007 the Turkish journalist of Armenian origin, Hrant Dink, was assassinated in Turkey.
Dink var særlig kendt for sin holdning vedrørende det armenske folkedrab og var endda blevet dømt af en tyrkisk domstol på grundlag af straffelovens artikel 301 for »afsløring« af det armenske folkedrab.
He was particularly well known for his position on the Armenian genocide and had been sentenced by a Turkish court, under Article 301 of the Penal Code, for ‘revealing’ the Armenian genocide.
Kommissionen bedes besvare følgende:
Will the Commission give its views on this matter?
Hvilke bestræbelser gør Kommissionen for at få afskaffet denne artikel 301?

Om: Bilaterale traktater
Subject: Bilateral treaties
I lyset af løsladelsen af Henry Stableford, britisk statsborger, som blev arresteret i Italien og truet med udlevering til Marokko, bør opmærksomheden rettes mod den uretfærdighed, der kendetegner bilaterale udleveringstraktater mellem EU's medlemsstater og tredjelande.
Following the release of Henry Stableford, a UK citizen who was arrested in Italy and threatened with extradition to Morocco, the inequity of the bilateral extradition treaties between EU Member States and non-EU‑member states merits attention.
