Radiospredningsmyndigheden har valgt at censurere og kontrollere de programmer, der produceres af produktionsselskabet Where's Everybody? , men andre programmer udsættes ikke for den samme behandling.
The Broadcasting Authority has singled out for pre-view censorship and checking the programmes produced by the production company Where's Everybody? , but other programmes are not being subjected to the same treatment.
Kan Kommissionen hos de maltesiske myndigheder få oplyst, hvorfor den maltesiske radiospredningsmyndighed alene udsætter et enkelt produktionsselskab for denne behandling, og om denne holdning er diskriminerende, indskrænker ytringsfriheden i Malta og er i strid med de grundlæggende direktiver om tale- og ytringsfrihed i EU?
Can the Commission verify with the Maltese authorities why the Malta Broadcasting Authority is reserving this treatment unilaterally only to one production company and whether such an attitude is discriminatory, curtails freedom of expression in Malta and goes against the basic directives on freedom of speech and expression of the European Union?
(31. marts 2003)
(31 March 2003)
Både i Malta og alle andre ansøgerlande overvåger Kommissionen ytringsfriheden, som den anser for at være et af de vigtigste politiske kriterier for medlemskab.
The Commission monitors the freedom of expression in Malta, like in all other Candidate Countries, as one of the key political criteria for membership.
I de periodiske rapporter om Maltas fremskridt mod tiltrædels nævnes det konsekvent, at ytringsfriheden er sikret i den maltesiske forfatning og respekteres i praksis.
In its Regular Reports on Malta's progress towards accession, it is consistently noted that the freedom of expression is enshrined in the Maltese constitution and continues to be well respected in practice.
Når det drejer sig om tv- og radiojournalisters ytringsfrihed, har Malta en uafhængig radiospredningsmyndighed, hvis medlemmer udvælges af republikkens præsident i forståelse med premierministeren og efter høring af oppositionens leder.
Regarding the TV and radio journalists' freedom of speech, Malta has an independent Broadcasting Authority, whose members are appointed by the President of the Republic, following advice from the Prime Minister and consultations with the leader of the opposition.
I henhold til den maltesiske forfatning og lovgivning skal radiospredningsmyndigheden især —
According to the Maltese constitution and law, the Broadcasting Authority is responsible in particular for: —
sikre upartiskhed i politiske anliggender eller i forbindelse med uoverensstemmelser på arbejdsmarkedet eller gældende offentlig orden
ensuring impartiality in respect of matters of political or industrial controversy or relating to current public policy;
fordele sendeudstyr og -tid mellem personer fra forskellige politiske partier rimeligt
fairly apportioning broadcasting facilities and time between political parties;
overvåge stationernes præstation i forhold til forfatningsmæssige krav, lovbestemmelser og relevante sendelicenser og -kontrakter.
monitoring the performance of the stations in terms of constitutional requirements, the provisions of the law and of the relevant broadcasting licences and contracts;
Radiospredningsmyndighedens beslutning om at censurere nogle udsendelser, der var produceret af det maltesiske produktionsselskab Where's Everybody , skal ses på baggrund af kampagnen op til folkeafstemningen om tiltrædelse, der blev afholdt i Malta den 8. marts 2003.
The Broadcasting Authority's decision to screen some recorded broadcasts produced by the Maltese production company Where's Everybody is to be considered in the framework of the campaign for the accession referendum held on 8 March 2003 in Malta.
For at sikre upartiskhed og en rimelig fordeling af sendetid mellem de forskellige politiske partier har radiospredningsmyndigheden gennemgået og godkendt en sendeplan fra Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) i afstemningsperioden.
In order to ensure impartiality and fair apportioning of broadcasting time between different political parties, the Broadcasting Authority had considered and approved a schedule for broadcasts from the Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) for the referendum period.
Efter ændringer i den godkendte plan og en efterfølgende klage fra Maltas arbejderparti bad radiospredningsmyndigheden PBS om lade en række udsendelser, som Maltas arbejderparti kritiserede for at være partiske, censurere.
Following amendments to the approved schedule, and a subsequent complaint by the Malta Labour Party, the Broadcasting Authority asked PBS to submit for screening a series of broadcasts challenged as partial by the Malta Labour Party.
Radiospredningsmyndigheden anførte, at dette var nødvendigt i betragtning af dens pligt til at forebygge enhver mulighed for manipulation af offentlig radio- og tv-spredning på grund af særinteresser på et tidspunkt, hvor befolkningen skal høres og derudover, fordi den manglede oplysninger om udsendelsernes indhold.
The Broadcasting Authority argued that this was necessary in view of its duty to guard against every possibility that public broadcasting could be manipulated by partisan interests at a time of popular consultation and also because it lacked information on the content of the broadcasts.
Efter at PBS havde fremlagt de ønskede oplysninger om de omstridte udsendelser, besluttede radiospredningsmyndigheden at ophæve kravet om forebyggende censur .
Following the submission of requested information by PBS on the contested broadcasts, the Broadcasting Authority decided to lift its request for a preventive screening .
Kommissionen mener ikke, at radiospredningsmyndigheden har handlet diskriminerende i denne sag, men snarere at den spændte kampagne op til tiltrædelsesafstemningen i Malta tilskyndede den til at træffe usædvanlige foranstaltninger for at sikre upartiskhed i offentligt tv.
The Commission does not believe that the Broadcasting Authority has acted in a discriminatory way in this matter but rather that the tense accession referendum campaign in Malta incited it to take exceptional steps to guarantee the impartiality of the public television.
I betragtning af disse usædvanlige omstændigheder samt den maltesiske radiospredningsmyndigheds status, pligter og uafhængighed mener Kommissionen, at dens vurdering, ifølge hvilken ytringsfriheden i Malta respekteres, holder.
In view of these exceptional circumstances, and considering the status, duties and independence of the Malta Broadcasting Authority, the Commission believes that its assessment that freedom of expression continues to be respected in Malta, remains valid.

Om: Hamadi Jebalis sultestrejke
Subject: Hunger strike by Mr Jebali
Den tidligere direktør for ugeavisen Al Fajr, Hamadi Jebali, har sultestrejket siden den 13. januar 2003, dvs. i 36 dage.
Mr Hamadi Jebali, the former editor of the Al Fajr weekly periodical, has been on hunger strike since 13 January 2003, i.e. for 36 days.
Ifølge den internationale forening for støtte til politiske fanger blev Hamadi Jebali den 12. februar overført til intensivafdelingen på et hospital i Bizerte.
According to Tunisia's International Association for Political Prisoner Support he was transferred on 12 February 2003 to the emergency ward of a hospital in Bizerte.
På trods af de mange appeller fra Tunesien og fra hele verden om frigivelse af Hamadi Jebali har de tunesiske myndigheder stadig ikke reageret.
Despite numerous appeals from within Tunisia and around the world calling for Mr Jebali's release, there has still been no reaction from the Tunisian authorities.
Et medlem af Journalister uden grænser , der havde anmodet om at måtte besøge ham i Nador-fængslet i Bizerte (i den nordlige del af landet), modtog den 6. februar et afslag fra fængselsgeneraldirektøren.
On 6 February a member of Reporters sans frontières, who had asked to be allowed to visit Mr Jebali in the Nador prison in Bizerte (in the north of the country), had his request turned down by the Directorate-General for Prisons.
Hamad Jebalis advokat, Mohamed Nouri, og hustru har desuden oplyst, at han udsættes for meget hårdt pres fra statssikkerhedstjenestens side for at få ham til at indstille sultestrejken.
Mr Jebali's lawyer, Mr Mohamed Nouri, and his wife have reported that he is coming under intense pressure from members of the State Security Department to abandon his hunger strike.
Hans hustru og døtre, hvis hjem er under konstant overvågning, har nu fået inddraget deres pas.
His wife and his daughters — whose house is under surveillance — have now had their passports taken away from them.
Hamad Jebali blev i 1992 ved militærdomstolen i Tunis idømt 16 års fængsel for medlemskab af en illegal organisation.
In 1992 the military court in Tunis sentenced Mr Jebali to 16 years in prison for belonging to an illegal organisation .
På daværende tidspunkt havde han netop afsonet en straf på et års fængsel for at have offentliggjort en artikel, hvori han kritiserede militærdomstolssystemet.
At the time he had just completed a one-year prison sentence for having published an article in which he criticised the military court system.
Hvilke foranstaltninger har Kommissionen truffet for at hjælpe Hamadi Jebali?
What action has the Commission taken in order to help Mr Jebali?
Har Kommissionen igennem sin delegation i Tunis haft mulighed for direkte at forhøre sig om de forhold, under hvilke han sidder fængslet, og om hans sundhedstilstand efter en måneds sultestrejke?
Has it been able (via its delegation in Tunis) to make direct enquiries regarding the conditions in which Mr Jebali is being held and the state of his health, now that he has been on hunger strike for over a month?
Har Kommissionen rejst spørgsmålet om en generel amnesti for samvittighedsfanger, der er fængslet for forbrydelser begået i årene 1980-1990, og hvordan har de tunesiske myndigheder i givet fald reageret?
Has it raised the issue of a general amnesty for crimes of conscience committed during the 1980s and 1990s and, if so, how have the Tunisian authorities reacted?

Om: Tyrkiet og Öcalan-sagen
Subject: Turkey and the Ocalan case
I mange uger har den tidligere PKK-leder Abdullah Öcalan ikke længere kunnet modtage besøg af sine forsvarsadvokater eller af andre personer.
For some weeks now the leader of the former PKK, Abdullah Ocalan, has been unable to receive visits from his defence lawyers or anyone else.
Denne vilkårlige afgørelse, truffet af den tyrkiske regering, udgør en åben krænkelse af den europæiske menneskerettighedskonvention og af de politiske kriterier , som Det Europæiske Råd nåede frem til om udvidelsen på sit møde i København.
This arbitrary decision on the part of the Turkish Government constitutes a flagrant violation of the European Convention on Human Rights and the political criteria for enlargement identified by the Copenhagen European Council.
Hvad agter det græske rådsformandskab at foretage sig, for at Öcalan sikres udøvelse af den elementære ret til et forsvar?
What steps does the Greek presidency of the Council intend to take to ensure that Ocalan is guaranteed the basic right of defence?
Finder Rådet ikke, at regeringerne, efter at dødsstraffen mod Öcalan er blevet forvandlet til livsvarigt fængsel, nu bør lægge pres på regeringen i Ankara, for at Öcalan genvinder friheden, og der iværksættes forhandlinger med henblik på en politisk løsning af det kurdiske spørgsmål ?
Does the Council not consider that, since Ocalan's sentence of death has been commuted, Brussels should now exert pressure on the government in Ankara to ensure that Ocalan is granted freedom and that negotiations are launched with a view to a political solution to the Kurdish question ?
Rådet følger nøje situationen.
The Council is closely watching the situation.
Efter en periode, hvor Abdullah Öcalan ganske rigtigt ikke kunne modtage besøg, har han for nylig haft besøg af sine advokater og sin bror.
After a period during which Mr Abdullah Ocalan had indeed been unable to receive visits, he has recently received visits from his lawyers and his brother.
I en dom af 12. marts 2003 (Öcalan mod Tyrkiet — sag nr. 46221/99) vedrørende Abdullah Öcalans klager over sin tilbageholdelse, rettergangen og den straf (dødsstraf), der er idømt ham, fandt Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol, at Abdullah Öcalans ret til en retfærdig rettergang er blevet krænket, og at idømmelsen af dødsstraf efter en uretfærdig rettergang udgør umenneskelig behandling.
In a judgment of 12 March 2003 (Ocalan v. Turkey — application no 46221/99) concerning Mr Abdullah Ocalan's complaints relating to his detention, the trial and the sentence (death penalty) pronounced against him, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) found, with regard to the right to a fair trial that Mr Abdullah Ocalan's right had been violated and that the imposition of the death sentence following an unfair trial had amounted to inhuman treatment.
Den har imidlertid ikke taget hans påstand til følge for så vidt angår anholdelsen eller vilkårene for forvaringen på øen Irmali i henhold til den europæiske konvention til beskyttelse af menneskerettigheder og grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder.
It did not, however, uphold the complaints regarding the legality of his arrest and of the conditions of his detention on the island of Irmali in the light of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Rådet vil nøje følge opfølgningen af domstolens dom, som kan appelleres af begge parter.
The Council will closely monitor the follow-up to the Court's judgment, which may be subject to appeal by either party.
I forbindelse med den politiske dialog med Tyrkiet og ifølge tiltrædelsespartnerskabet kræver Rådet konsekvent, at den europæiske menneskerettighedskonventions bestemmelser og især Menneskerettighedsdomstolens domme skal overholdes.
In the context of political dialogue with Turkey and under the Accession Partnership, the Council constantly insists on compliance with the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and in particular the judgments of the ECHR.
Med hensyn til de mere generelle aspekter af det kurdiske spørgsmål , som det ærede medlem nævner, forventer Rådet, at Tyrkiet fortsat arbejder i retning af at garantere menneskerettigheder — herunder kulturelle rettigheder — og grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder for alle borgere uanset oprindelse og at fremme den økonomiske, sociale og kulturelle udvikling, især i den sydøstlige del af landet.
As regards the wider aspects of the Kurdish question raised by the Honourable Member, the Council expects Turkey to continue to work towards guaranteeing human rights — including cultural rights — and fundamental freedoms for all citizens irrespective of their origin, and promoting economic, social and cultural development in the South-East in particular.
Kommissionen vedtog den 26. marts et revideret tiltrædelsespartnerskab, der angiver i hvilken rækkefølge Tyrkiet skal opfylde de relevante politiske kriterier, som Rådet nåede til enighed om den 14. april.
On 26 March, the Commission adopted a revised Accession Partnership setting priorities for Turkey in meeting the pertinent political criteria, which the Council agreed on 14 April.

Kommissionen er bekendt med omstændighederne i forbindelse med Abdullah Öcalans nuværende fængsling.
The Commission is aware of Abdullah Öcalan's current detention conditions.
Siden den 27. november 2002 har der været rapporter om, at Öcalans slægtninge og advokater har haft vanskeligt ved at få adgang til ham.
Since 27 November 2002 there have been reports that relatives and lawyers of Mr Öcalan have had difficulties in gaining access to him.
Som kandidatland bestræber Tyrkiet sig på at opfylde de politiske Københavnskriterier samt de prioriteter, der er fastsat af tiltrædelsespartnerskabet.
As a Candidate Country, Turkey aims to fulfil the Copenhagen political criteria as well as the priorities identified by the Accession Partnership.
Disse omfatter tilpasning af forholdene i de tyrkiske fængsler til de europæiske normer og fuldstændig efterlevelse af bestemmelserne i den europæiske konvention om menneskerettigheder.
These include the alignment of prison detention conditions with European standards and full compliance with the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Kommissionen er blevet informeret om det besøg, som en delegation fra Europarådets udvalg for bekæmpelse af tortur og umenneskelig eller nedværdigende behandling eller straf den 16. og 17. februar 2003 aflagde hos Öcalan.
The Commission has been informed of the visit made on 16 and 17 February 2003 by a delegation of the Council of Europe Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT), which was given access to Mr Öcalan.
Delegationen konkluderede, at Öcalans helbred var godt, men at hans fortsatte fængsling var et problem.
The CPT delegation concluded that the health of Mr Öcalan was good, but that his continued isolation was a problem.
Delegationen vil træffe foranstaltninger til, at Öcalans ret til at modtage besøg efterleves i praksis.
The CPT's delegation will take steps to ensure that Mr Öcalan's right to receive visits is effective in practice.
Kommissionen vil fortsat overvåge betingelserne for Öcalans fængsling og respekten for hans ret til et forsvar.
The Commission will continue to monitor the conditions of Mr Öcalan's detention, and the respect of his right to defence.

Om: Tvangssterilisering af romakvinder i Slovakiet
Subject: Forced sterilisation of Roma women in Slovakia
Som medlem af Delegationen til Det Blandede Parlamentariske Udvalg EU-Slovakiet har jeg flere gange været i Slovakiet og har haft mange kontakter med romafolket.
As a member of the EU-Slovak Republic JPC, I have visited Slovakia on many occasions and have been frequently in contact with the Roma community.
Under tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne arbejdede jeg intenst på at sikre mindretallenes rettigheder.
Within the context of accession negotiations, I have continually emphasised the rights of minorities.
Den seneste rapport fra Centre of Reproductive Rights om tvangssterilisering af romakvinder, den kraftige advarsel fra EP-ordføreren J.M. Wiersma og udsagn fra asylsøgende romakvinder her i Belgien går alle i samme retning: der anvendes fortsat metoder, som vi henregner til en fjern og mørk fortid.
The recent report by the Centre of Reproductive Rights concerning forced sterilisation of Roma women, the strong warning from the rapporteur for the European Parliament J.M. Wiersma and the testimony here in Belgium of Roma women seeking asylum in our country all point to the same conclusion: practices which we thought belonged to a dark and distant past are still common.
Den slovakiske minister med ansvar for mindretal har iværksat en undersøgelse, men har ifølge nyhedsagenturet CTK (30. januar 2003) også bebudet, at rapportens forfattere vil blive retsforfulgt.
The Slovak minister responsible for minorities is setting up an inquiry, but, according to news agency CTK, writing on 30 January 2003, the minister also envisages the institution of proceedings against the authors of the report.
Vil Kommissionen kræve, at der gennemføres en grundig, objektiv og landsdækkende undersøgelse og se kritisk på resultaterne af en sådan undersøgelse på baggrund af Slovakiets medlemskab af EU?
Will the Commission be pressing for a detailed, objective national inquiry and will it be examining critically the results of such an inquiry against the background of Slovakia's accession to the EU?
I bekræftende fald vil Kommissionen så stille disse resultater til min rådighed sammen med de politiske tiltag i så henseende?
If so, could the Commission forward to me the results and measures to be taken by the Commission in response?
I benægtende fald finder Kommissionen så ikke, at en sådan familiepolitik er i modstrid med menneskerettighederne?
If not, does the Commission consider this form of reproductive policy not to contravene human rights?
(28. marts 2003)
(28 March 2003)
Kommissionen er bekendt med den rapport, der for nylig blev offentliggjort af Center for Reproductive Rights , med påstandene om, at læger i det østlige Slovakiet steriliserer roma-kvinder uden deres samtykke eller efter at have tvunget dem til at samtykke.
The Commission is aware of the allegations, recently published in a report of the Center for Reproductive Rights , that Roma women are being sterilised without their consent or with coerced consent by doctors in Eastern Slovakia.
Kommissionsmedlemmet med ansvar for udvidelsen tog øjeblikkelig spørgsmålet op i en skrivelse til den slovakiske premierminister, Mikulas Dzurinda, hvor han understregede, at påstandene giver anledning til alvorlig bekymring, og at det vil betyde en alvorlig krænkelse af menneskerettighederne, hvis de viser sig at være rigtige, og hvis de offentlige myndigheder har støttet eller tolereret disse overgreb eller har undladt at træffe passende retlige forholdsregler for at standse dem.
The Member of the Commission responsible for Enlargement has immediately addressed this issue in a letter to Slovak Prime Minister Dzurinda, underlining that these allegations are a matter of serious concern and if proved to be true, would constitute a serious breach of human rights, provided the public authorities have supported, tolerated or not taken proper legal actions in this respect.
Kommissionsmedlemmet har endvidere bedt de slovakiske myndigheder om at sætte alt ind på at gennemføre de nødvendige strafferetlige undersøgelser og i givet fald råde bod på de diskriminerende forhold samt at holde Kommissionen underrettet om sagens udvikling.
Moreover, he has asked the Slovak authorities to vigorously carry out the necessary criminal investigations, to remedy possible discriminatory measures and keep the Commission informed about the proceedings.
I henhold til Kommissionens oplysninger har de kompetente myndigheder iværksat de strafferetlige undersøgelser, og der er blevet oprettet et særligt undersøgelsesteam.
According to the Commission's information, the competent authorities have launched the criminal investigations, with a special investigation team being set up.
Indenrigsministeriets rådgiver i roma-spørgsmål, som selv er roma, er blevet udpeget til at konsultere dette team.
The Roma advisor to the Ministry of Interior, a Roma himself, has been assigned to consult this team.
Endelig er Europarådet blevet indbudt til at gennemføre en undersøgelsesmission i det østlige Slovakiet.
Finally, the Council of Europe has been invited by Slovakia to conduct a fact-finding mission in Eastern Slovakia.
Kommissionen vil fortsat nøje følge sagens yderligere forløb og resultaterne af undersøgelserne.
The Commission will continue to closely monitor the further proceedings and outcome of the investigations.
