Vil Rådet i relation til den indiske sikkerhedstjeneste være villig til at støtte ophævelsen af den gældende lovgivning i regionen, som tilsyneladende giver sikkerhedstjenester skønsmæssige beføjelser og dermed mulighed for at handle uden risiko for sanktioner?
In relation to the Indian security service, would the Council be willing to support the repeal of the security legislation in force in the region, which I understand allows the security services to use discretionary powers and thereby act without fear of sanction?
Rådet følger udviklingen i såvel den indisk kontrollerede del som den pakistansk kontrollerede del af Kashmir meget nøje.
The Council follows developments in both Indian‑administered and Pakistani‑administered Kashmir very closely.
Rådet fordømmer alle voldshandlinger i Kashmir og er bekymret over de vedholdende meldinger om menneskerettighedskrænkelser.
The Council condemns all acts of violence in Kashmir and is concerned at the continuing reports of human rights abuses.
I denne forbindelse ser EU med tilfredshed på, at de indiske ledere offentligt har forpligtet sig til at sørge for, at de indiske sikkerhedsstyrker tager yderligere skridt til at forbedre deres resultater på menneskerettighedsområdet i den indisk kontrollerede del af Kashmir.
In that context, the EU welcomes the Indian leadership's public commitment to ensuring that India's security forces take further steps to improve their human rights record in Indian‑administered Kashmir.
Siden 1995 har der været en årlig EU-trojkamission til den indisk kontrollerede del af Kashmir, hvilket giver mulighed for at undersøge alle spørgsmål, herunder sikkerhedssituationen og beskyttelsen af menneskerettighederne.
Since 1995 there has been an annual EU Troika Mission to India‑administered Kashmir, which provides an opportunity for the examination of all issues, including the security situation and the protection of human rights.

Om: Inhuman fangst af grindehvaler
Subject: Inhumane hunting of Calderon dolphins
Færøerne er en selvstyrende provins i Danmark og ikke med i Den Europæiske Union.
The Faroe Islands are an autonomous province of Denmark and are not part of the European Union.
Jeg har erfaret, at indbyggerne på Færøerne hvert år dræber et stort antal grindehvaler som led i en fælles indsats for at lagre hvalkød og -produkter til vinteren.
I understand that every year many Calderon dolphins (otherwise known as pilot whales) are killed by inhabitants of these islands as part of a community effort for storing whale meat and products for the winter.
Jeg forstår, at lokalsamfundene udnytter det meste af grindehvalen, og at der er meget lidt spild efter fremstilling af de animalske produkter.
I understand that the local community make use of most parts of the dolphin and that there is little wastage of the animal products produced.
Det bekymrer mig, at slagtningen af hvalerne tilsyneladende foregår med inhumane metoder.
My concern is that the slaughter of the dolphins appears to be inhumane.
Jeg har erfaret, at den metode, der anvendes til at fange hvalerne, involverer indkredsning af hvalerne i en bugt eller på en strand, og det er helt tydeligt stressende for dyrene.
I understand that the method of hunting involves driving the dolphins together into a bay or onto a beach, which clearly puts the animals under stress.
Flere menneskerettighedsgrupper har offentliggjort billeder, der viser en nylig slagtning, som kan ses på følgende websider: http://www.seashepherd.org/whales/danish-faeroe-islands.html og http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/editorial-080610-1.html
Human rights groups have distributed photos showing a recent cull that can be accessed on the following web pages: http://www.seashepherd.org/whales/danish-faeroe-islands.html and http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/editorial-080610-1.html
Har Kommissionen taget skridt til enten at opfordre lokalsamfundene på Færøerne til at sætte en stopper for denne form for hvalfangst eller opfordre Danmark til at tage sådanne skridt eller alternativt fremme anvendelsen af mere humane fangstmetoder?
Has the Commission taken action either to encourage the community in the Faroe Islands to end the hunting, to ask Denmark to take such steps, or alternatively to encourage the use of a hunting method which is more humane?

Om: Muligheden for at opføre et sikkert nukleart anlæg med mange forskellige underleverandører og uklare ansvarsområder
Subject: Possibility for a safe nuclear power plant in the framework of various subcontractors and unclear responsibilities
Opførelsen af det nukleare anlæg, Olkiluoto 3, i Finland — af selskabet Areva — har været ledsaget af problemer siden starten.
Construction of the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power station in Finland by Areva has faced continuous problems since the construction started.
Det første store problem opstod i 2005, da betonen i fundamentet var for porøs.
The first scandal, in 2005, was too porous concrete cast for the foundation.
Der har været problemer med stållaget i indkapslingen, f.eks., fordi den polske underleverandør ikke havde den fornødne ekspertise og teknologiske erfaring.
There have been problems e.g. with the steel containment of the building, because the Polish subcontractor did not have proper expertise and technology.
Nogle af de vigtigste dele af bygningen måtte rives ned og genopføres, da den dimensioneringsansvarlige ingeniørvirksomhed, der har hjemsted i Indien, ikke var klar over de store temperaturforskelle mellem den finske sommer og vinter.
Some key parts of the building had to be demolished and reconstructed because the engineering company based in India, responsible for the design, was not aware of the big temperature differences between Finnish winter and summer.
STUK, den finske myndighed for stråling og nuklear sikkerhed, krævede for nylig, at der blev udarbejdet en rapport om de mikroskopiske revner, som var fundet i stålrørene i det store kredsløb.
Recently, the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority STUK demanded a report concerning microscopic cracks that have been found in the steel piping of the main circulation.
Kort tid forinden havde STUK advaret Areva om, at byggeriet kunne blive stoppet på grund af store mangler i automatiseringsplanen.
A short time before that, STUK had warned Areva that the building could be stopped because of major shortcomings in the automation planning.
Begge disse nye sikkerhedsproblemer blev opdaget i første halvdel af maj måned.
Both of these new safety failures came up in the first half of May.
I 2006 gennemgik STUK kvalitets- og sikkerhedskontrollen for projektet og fandt mange alvorlige problemer og overtrædelser.
In 2006 STUK investigated the quality and safety control of the project, finding many severe problems and violations.
Under STUK's gennemgang blev der fundet 700 eksempler på manglende overholdelse.
During the investigation by STUK, there were 700 reported non-conformances.
I 2008 kritiserede STUK både Areva og det finske elselskab, TVO, for ikke at have sikret sig, at de relevante kvalitets- og sikkerhedskriterier blev opfyldt, således at myndighederne har været tvunget til at gribe ind alt for ofte.
In 2008 STUK criticized both Areva and the Finnish power company TVO for their failure to ensure proper quality and follow safety criteria, which has forced the authorities to intervene too often.
Under gennemførelsen af projektet har der været uoverensstemmelser mellem de to selskaber, TVO og Areva, om de pågældende ansvarsområder, som endnu ikke er afklaret.
During the project the companies responsible, TVO and Areva, have had disagreements about responsibilities, which remain unsolved.
På grund af erfaringerne med Olkiluoto 3 rejses der tvivl om, hvorvidt det er muligt at sikre, at moderne sikkerhedsstandarder følges under opførelsen af et nukleart anlæg med en virksomhedsmodel, hvor det detaljerede dimensioneringsarbejde og selve opførelsen er fordelt på virksomheder fra flere lande, der anvender en lang række underleverandører fra hele verden, herunder også inkompetente underleverandører.
The experiences of Olkiluoto 3 raise the issue of whether there is any way of ensuring the meeting of modern safety standards in constructing a nuclear power plant with a business model where the detailed design work and the actual construction is shared between numerous companies from several countries, using long chains of subcontractors from all around the world, leading also to the use of incompetent subcontractors.
Det er et europæisk anliggende, da en større ulykke på et nukleart anlæg i Europa vil have alvorlige konsekvenser for flere europæiske lande.
This is a European issue, because a major accident in any nuclear power station in Europe would have severe consequences for several European countries.
Er Kommissionen bekendt med de mange problemer forbundet med opførelsen af Olkiluoto 3?
Is the Commission aware of the continuous problems in the construction of Olkiluoto 3?
Agter Kommissionen at foretage en undersøgelse af de opnåede erfaringer for at vurdere, om det er muligt at sikre, at moderne sikkerhedsstandarder følges under opførelsen af et nukleart anlæg med en virksomhedsmodel, hvor det detaljerede dimensioneringsarbejde og selve opførelsen er fordelt på virksomheder fra mange forskellige lande i verden?
Is the Commission planning to investigate the experiences in order to assess whether there is any way of ensuring that modern safety standards are met when constructing a nuclear power plant with a business model where the design and construction is shared between numerous companies from all around the world?

Om: Skat på kapitalafkast og fradrag for kildeskat
Subject: Taxation of dividends: offsetting withholding tax
Private investorer, som modtager udbytte, betaler kildeskat heraf i kildestaten.
Individual investors who receive inbound dividends pay a withholding tax in the source country.
De bliver endnu en gang beskattet af dette udbytte i deres eget land.
In their own country they are once again taxed on the same dividends.
I visse medlemsstater foretages der fradrag for den allerede ved kilden betalte skat.
In some Member States the levies already paid at source are offset.
I andre lande sker det ikke.
In other countries this does not take place.
Domstolen udtalte i sin dom af 14. november 2006 (i sagen C-513/04), at det er op til medlemslandene at træffe foranstaltninger til imødegåelse af disse situationer.

Om: Indførelse af et fælles europæisk id-kort for studerende og pensionister
Subject: Creating an EU‑wide pass for students and pensioners
Personers frie bevægelighed er en af EU's grundlæggende rettigheder.
Free movement of persons is among the fundamental freedoms of the EU.
Bevægeligheden må ikke begrænses til kun at være fri bevægelighed for personer i den erhvervsaktive alder, man må sørge for, at personer, der først påbegynder eller allerede har afsluttet deres karriere, har de samme muligheder for at bevæge sig frit fra et EU-land til et andet.
This freedom must not be available only to people of working age: it is important to ensure that those starting out on their careers and those who have already completed theirs have the same opportunities to move freely from one EU country to another.
Herunder hører valget af hjemland.
This includes the freedom to choose the country where they make their home.
Studerende og pensionister støder med den øgede bevægelighed mellem landene stadig oftere på det problem, at de rabatter og serviceydelser, der gælder i deres hjemland, ikke gælder i et andet EU-land.
As movement between countries has increased, students and pensioners are increasingly encountering the problem that the concessions and advantages available to them in their home country on various services do not apply in other EU Member States.
Herunder hører bl.a. retten til rabat på offentlige transportmidler og problemer med at opnå ydelser inden for sundhedsvæsenet.
These include the right to concessions in various forms of public transport and problems with the availability of health services.
For dem med en lille indtægt er de rettigheder, der garanteres i hjemlandet, en vigtig lettelse af hverdagslivet.
For those on low incomes, the advantages guaranteed to them in their home country provide important assistance in everyday life.
Da beskæftigelse og studier i udlandet og i andre EU-lande er en stigende tendens, burde man indføre et fælles europæisk id-kort for studerende og pensionister.
As the number of people working or studying outside their home country and in other EU Member States is only increasing, consideration should be given to introducing an EU‑wide pass for students and pensioners.
Har Kommissionen planer om at iværksætte nogen reformer af denne type i tæt tilknytning til personers frie bevægelighed?
Does the Commission have any plans for proposing such innovations, which would be closely linked to the free movement of persons?
Hvordan påtænker Kommissionen at sikre ydelserne for det stigende antal studerende og pensionister, der flytter fra et EU-land til et andet, og som tager ophold i et andet EU-land end deres hjemland?
How will the Commission guarantee the advantages to which students and pensioners are entitled who are increasingly moving from one EU Member State to another and spending time in an EU country other than their home country?

Subject: Representation of the sexes in the Commission and in senior EU posts
En gruppe parlamentsmedlemmer og andre politiske aktører, bl.a. Kommissionens næstformand Margot Wallström, har indledt en kampagne for ligestilling i EU's institutioner og topstillinger.
A group of Members of the European Parliament and other people with political influence, including Commission Vice-President Margot Wallström, have begun a campaign for equality within the EU institutions and in senior EU posts.
Målet er at sikre, at kvinder og mænd er ligeligt repræsenteret i EU-institutionerne, herunder i topstillingerne.
The aim is to ensure that women and men are equally represented, including at the highest levels within the EU institutions.
De europæiske partier opfordres til at udpege et ligeligt antal kvindelige og mandlige kandidater til valget til Europa-Parlamentet.
European parties are encouraged to put forward equal numbers of male and female candidates for election to the European Parliament.
Desuden retter kampagnen opmærksomheden mod kønsfordelingen i Kommissionen.
In addition, the campaign draws attention to the gender balance within the Commission.
Man mener, at den bedste vej frem er, at hver medlemsstat foreslår mindst en kvindelig og en mandlig kandidat til kommissærposterne.
The best way of improving it is considered to be that each Member State should nominate at least one man and one woman as candidates for Commissioner posts.
Således ville det være let for formanden at sammensætte en ny Kommission, hvor kønnene var ligeligt repræsenteret, og sammensætningen ville også afspejle Europa-Parlamentets valgresultat.
This would make it easy for the President to put together a new college of Commissioners in which the sexes were equally represented, and its composition would also reflect the results of the elections to the European Parliament.
Også forfatningskonventet foreslog udnævnelse af flere kandidater.
The Constitutional Convention likewise proposed that several candidates should be nominated.
Ved udnævnelsen af den forrige Kommission anmodede formand Barroso om, at hvert medlemsland indstillede flere kandidater til Kommissionen, også kvinder.
When forming the last Commission, Mr Barroso asked Member States to nominate several candidates each, including women.
Ikke en eneste af medlemsstaterne har indfriet forhåbningen, og de har ikke følt sig tilstrækkelig forpligtede til det.
Evidently not a single Member State complied with this wish, nor was it considered sufficiently binding.
Grunden kunne måske være, at Rådet ikke har set ligestilling i Kommissionen som en vigtig sag, eller som en sag, alle regeringer har fælles ansvar for.
One reason may have been that the Council did not consider equality within the Commission to be important or as being a matter for which all the governments are jointly responsible.
Påtænker den nuværende Kommission at intensivere bestræbelserne på, at den Kommission, der udnævnes næste gang får mere ligestilling en den nuværende?
Does the present Commission intend to step up efforts to ensure that the next Commission is more equal than the present one?
Anser Kommissionen det for vigtigt at forpligte medlemslandene til at udnævne flere kandidater til kommissærer, således at man kan gøre Kommissionens sammensætning mere ligelig, såvel hvad angår køn som ekspertise og politisk baggrund?

Kvinders stilling i den politiske beslutningsproces har ligget EU stærkt på sinde, ikke mindst siden FN's fjerde verdenskvindekonference i 1995 i Beijing og i forbindelse med opfølgningen af denne konference (»Beijinghandlingsprogrammet«).
The position of women in political decision-making has been a particular concern of the EU, especially since the UN's Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995 and in the context of that Conference's follow-up (‘The Beijing Platform for Action’).
Efter at Rådet under det finske formandskab i 1999 havde vedtaget et sæt konklusioner om spørgsmålet, herunder ni indikatorer Se dok.
The Council having adopted under the Finnish Presidency in 1999 a set of conclusions on the subject, including nine indicators See doc.

9670/08 + ADD 1. .
Rådet understregede i sine konklusioner, at: » ligelig deltagelse af kvinder og mænd i beslutningsprocesserne er en forudsætning for forbedring af kvindernes stilling og opnåelse af væsentlig ligestilling mellem kønnene, og er også anerkendt som et nødvendigt grundlag for demokrati « (punkt 6), og at : » på trods af de fremskridt, der er gjort med hensyn til at fremme ligelig deltagelse af kønnene i den politiske beslutningsproces på europæisk, nationalt, regionalt og lokalt plan, er kvinder stadig underrepræsenterede i den politiske beslutningsproces i de fleste medlemsstater « (punkt 7).
In its Conclusions, the Council stressed that: ‘the equal participation of women and men in decision-making processes is a precondition for the advancement of women and the achievement of substantive gender equality, and is also recognised as a necessary basis for democracy’ (paragraph 6) and that: ‘despite the progress made in promoting gender-balanced participation in political decision-making at the European, national, regional and local levels, women are still underrepresented in political decision-making in most Member States’ (paragraph 7).
