En sådan operation må dog betragtes som en egentlig fjendtlig overtagelse fra den russiske koncerns side, hvilket ville være til skade for en virksomhed, der opererer inden for en nøglesektor på nationalt og internationalt plan.
However, this would be seen as a genuinely hostile act on the part of the Russian group directed against the interests of a company operating in what is a key sector at national and international level.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at det er nødvendigt at overvåge en eventuel virksomhedssammenslutning, hvor hovedaktørerne er Gazprom og Repsol?
Does the Commission not think that any merger operation in which Gazprom and Repsol are key players should be monitored very closely?
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at et sådant opkøb risikerer at være i strid med de gældende konkurrenceregler?
Does it not think that this acquisition might be in breach of the rules in force governing competition?

Om: Forurening af irsk svinekød
Subject: Contaminated pork from Ireland
Man har gennem pressen erfaret, at der i svinekød fra dyr med oprindelse i Irland er fundet dioxin i bekymrende mængder.
According to press reports, alarming quantities of dioxin have been found in pork originating from Ireland.
Desværre er de forurenede kødpartier allerede distribueret og solgt i hele Europa, hvilket har medført en yderst alarmerende situation for borgernes folkesundhed.
Unfortunately, the contaminated meat has already been distributed and sold throughout Europe, creating a very serious public health emergency.
Det lader i øvrigt til, at der også er solgt kødpartier uden for Unionen, hvilket indlysende nok vil føre til yderligere skade for omdømmet af fødevarer med oprindelse i EU på grund af de uundgåelige generaliseringer, der opstår efter tilfælde som dette.
It appears that the meat has also been sold in countries outside the European Union, something which will clearly further damage the reputation of EU food products, thanks to the general impression inevitably created by such events.
Eftersom der er tale om en alarmerende og meget alvorlig situation for den offentlige sundhed, bedes Rådet besvare følgende spørgsmål: 1.
Given that this poses a very serious threat to public health, will the Council answer the following: 1.
Kender Rådet det reelle omfang af denne fødevarealarm, som bekymrer og truer alle forbrugere i EU, og agter det samtidig at foretage en dybtgående analyse for i detaljer at klarlægge de reelle årsager til forureningen? 2.
Is it aware of the true scale of this food emergency, which is concerning and threatening all EU consumers, and will it conduct a detailed enquiry into the real causes of the contamination? 2.
Hvad agter Rådet rent konkret at gøre for at finde en øjeblikkelig løsning på denne alarmerende situation? 3.
What firm measures will it take to find an immediate solution to the problem? 3.
Rådet vil gerne allerførst understrege, at det lægger stor vægt på, at der opretholdes et meget højt beskyttelsesniveau for folkesundheden i Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
The Council would first of all recall the importance it attaches to maintaining a very high level of public health protection in the European Community.
På samlingen den 18.-19. december 2008 fik Rådet detaljerede oplysninger fra den irske regering og fra Kommissionen om dioxinkontamineringen af en del af den animalske produktion i Irland og om, hvilke foranstaltninger der var truffet til løsning heraf.
At its meeting on 18 and 19 December 2008, the Council received detailed information from the Irish Government and the Commission on the dioxin contamination of part of the animal production sector in Ireland and on the measures taken to deal with it.
I den forbindelse vil Rådet gerne minde om, at det i henhold til fællesskabslovgivningens relevante bestemmelser tilkommer den pågældende medlemsstat at gennemføre en undersøgelse for at fastslå årsagerne til kontamineringen og træffe de nødvendige hasteforanstaltninger.
In this regard, the Council would point out that under the relevant provisions of Community law, it is for the Member State concerned to conduct an investigation to determine the causes of contamination and to take the emergency measures required.
Rådet har derfor noteret sig de oplysninger, som det har fået herom, navnlig om den udtalelse, som Den Europæiske Fødevaresikkerhedsautoritet afgav den 10. december 2008, og om de retningslinjer, som Den Stående Komité for Fødevarekæden og Dyresundhed godkendte samme dag med henblik på at få trukket alt svinekød med oprindelse i Irland, der var produceret i den kritiske periode, tilbage.
The Council has consequently taken note of the information it received in this regard, in particular on the opinion delivered by the European Food Safety Authority on 10 December 2008 and on the guidelines approved on the same day by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health for the withdrawal from the market of all pigmeat of Irish origin produced during the critical period.
For så vidt angår eventuelle foranstaltninger til forebyggelse af sådanne kriser i fremtiden er Rådet villigt til at behandle alle forslag, som Kommissionen måtte forelægge det herom, herunder om fødevarers mærkning og sporbarhed.
As for any measures to be taken to prevent such crises occurring in the future, the Council is willing to examine all proposals to that end submitted to it by the Commission, including in the area of labelling and the traceability of food products.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-6800/08
Om: Den tyrkisk-kurdiske politiker Leyla Zana er atter blevet idømt en langvarig fængselsstraf, fordi hun taler for fred samt ligestilling af det kurdiske sprog
Subject: Turkish-Kurdish politician Leyla Zana sentenced once again to a long prison term for advocating peace and equality for the Kurdish language
Husker Rådet, at det i 1991 valgte parlamentsmedlem Leyla Zana i december 1994 sammen med tre andre parlamentsmedlemmer blev udelukket, fordi de benyttede det kurdiske sprog i parlamentet, at de senere blev idømt 15 års fængsel, og at de blev løsladt 10 år senere, blandt andet takket være Amnesty Internationals anerkendelse af dem som samvittighedsfanger i 1994, tildelingen af Europa-Parlamentets Sakharovpris i 1995, en kendelse fra Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol i 2001 og de indledende forberedelser af det tyrkiske EU-medlemskab?
Does the Council recall that the Turkish MP Leyla Zana, elected in 1991, was deprived of her seat together with three other MPs in December 1994 for using the Kurdish language in the parliament and was subsequently sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment, and that she was released after 10 years, partly as a result of: being recognised as a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International in 1994; being awarded the Sakharov Prize by the European Parliament in 1995; a judgment by the European Court of Human Rights in 2001; and the beginning of preparations for Turkey’s membership of the EU?
Er det Rådet bekendt, at Leyla Zana den 4. december 2008 atter blev idømt 10 års fængsel efter anklager om, at hun med sine udtalelser om at bringe volden til ophør i det sydøstlige Tyrkiet og for anerkendelse af det kurdiske sprog som ligeværdigt administrations- og undervisningssprog, som det blev lovet af Atatürk i 1920, skulle have handlet »som om hun var medlem af en terrororganisation«?
Is the Council aware that on 4 December 2008 Leyla Zana was sentenced to a further 10 years’ imprisonment on the grounds that, in calling for an end to violence in South-Eastern Turkey and for the recognition of the Kurdish language as an equal language of administration and education, as promised by Atatürk in 1920, she allegedly acted ‘like a member of a terrorist organisation’?
Er det retfærdigt, at dommen ikke er baseret på konkrete handlinger, men på politiske udtalelser, der er faldet i omkring ni taler i perioden mellem juli 2007 og marts 2008, og at hun nu i henhold til artikel 53/1 i den tyrkiske straffelov er frataget sin stemmeret og valgbarhed?
Is it true that this judgment is not based on any specific acts but on political statements made during a series of nine speeches between July 2007 and March 2008, and that she has now been deprived of the right to vote or stand for election pursuant to Article 53/1 of the Turkish Criminal Code?
Er Rådet parat til, som led i drøftelserne om Tyrkiets kommende EU-medlemskab, men også på grundlag af bestræbelserne på at fremme den demokratiske retsstat i naboskabsstater, at tilkendegive over for de tyrkiske myndigheder, at det er uacceptabelt, at nogen på grund af sine politiske ideer idømmes en fængselsstraf og fratages stemmeret og valgbarhed, og at denne lovgivning derfor bør ændres, så det ikke kan ske igen?
Is the Council prepared, partly in the context of discussions on Turkey's future membership of the EU, but also as part of efforts to promote democracy and the Rule of Law in states covered by the neighbourhood policy, to notify the Turkish authorities that it is unacceptable for anyone to be imprisoned and deprived of the right to vote and stand for election on the grounds of their political ideas, and that the relevant legislation should be amended so that this cannot happen again?
Er Rådet parat til over for de tyrkiske myndigheder at insistere på, at straffen ikke skal fuldbyrdes, og at anmode om, at Zana om ønsket kan gennemføre sine intentioner om som kandidat i Elih (Batman) kommune at deltage i kommunevalget i marts 2009?
Is it prepared to urge the Turkish authorities not to enforce the sentence and to request them to permit Ms Zana to carry out her intention to stand as a candidate in the council elections in the municipality of Elih (Batman) in March 2009?
Er Rådet parat til eventuelt at lade repræsentanter for EU overvære en appel af den nuværende dom over Leyla Zana med det formål at påse, at denne proces forløber i overensstemmelse med universelt accepterede regler for en god retsprocedure?
Is it prepared to send EU representatives to attend the hearing of any appeal which may be brought against Leyla Zana’s recent sentence, with a view to ensuring that the hearing complies with universally accepted rules of proper procedure?

Rådet er bekendt med den sag, som de ærede parlamentsmedlemmer tager op.
The Council is aware of the case referred to by the Honourable Members.
Ifølge Rådets oplysninger har Leyla Zana anket den pågældende dom.
According to the Council's information, the judgment in question is being appealed by Ms Zana.
Rådet vil gerne forsikre de ærede parlamentsmedlemmer om, at Den Europæiske Unions generelle holdning med hensyn til overholdelse af og forpligtelse over for de grundlæggende principper om demokrati og menneskerettigheder i Tyrkiet fortsat er meget klar.
The Council would like to assure the Honourable Members that the general position of the European Union (EU) regarding respect for and commitment to the basic principles of democracy and human rights in Turkey remains very clear.
Som kandidatland skal Tyrkiet opfylde Københavnskriterierne, herunder den institutionelle stabilitet, der sikrer demokratiet, retsstatsprincippet og menneskerettighederne samt respekt for og beskyttelse af mindretal.
As a candidate country, Turkey has to meet the Copenhagen criteria, including the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities.
Disse spørgsmål omhandles nærmere i de prioriteter, der er fastsat i tiltrædelsespartnerskabet, og som Tyrkiet skal opfylde.
These issues are further elaborated upon in the priorities enshrined in the Accession Partnership, to be addressed by Turkey.
Endvidere forventer EU, som anført i den forhandlingsramme, Rådet vedtog i oktober 2005, at Tyrkiet støtter reformprocessen og arbejder hen imod en yderligere forbedring af principperne om frihed, demokrati, retsstatsforhold og respekten for menneskerettighederne og de grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder.
Furthermore, as stated in the Negotiating Framework adopted by the Council in October 2005, the EU expects Turkey to sustain the process of reform and to work towards further improvement in respect of the principles of liberty, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.
EU forventer også, at Tyrkiet befæster og udvider lovgivningen og gennemførelsesforanstaltningerne, navnlig i relation til bestemmelserne om bl.a. ytringsfrihed, religionsfrihed og mindretalsrettigheder.
The EU also expects Turkey to consolidate and broaden legislation and implementation measures, specifically in relation to the provisions relating, inter alia , to freedom of expression, freedom of religion and minority rights.
I sine konklusioner af 8. december 2008 udtrykte Rådet beklagelse over, at Tyrkiet kun har gjort »begrænsede fremskridt« med hensyn til politiske reformer og anførte, at Tyrkiet må udfolde yderligere »store bestræbelser« på at styrke bl.a. ytringsfriheden og sikre respekt for og beskyttelse af mindretal og styrkelse af kulturelle rettigheder.
In its conclusions of 8 December 2008, the Council noted its disappointment over the ‘limited progress’ made by Turkey as regards political reform, and stated that further ‘substantial efforts’ are required from Turkey to strengthen, inter alia , freedom of expression, as well as to ensure respect for and protection of minorities and strengthening of cultural rights.
De ærede parlamentsmedlemmer kan være forvisset om, at fremskridtene på stedet, også udviklingen i specifikke sager som Leyla Zanas, fortsat vil blive nøje overvåget og evalueret i overensstemmelse med forhandlingsrammen og tiltrædelsespartnerskabet.
The Honourable Members can be assured that close monitoring and evaluation of progress on the ground, including developments in specific cases such as Ms Zana's, will continue, in accordance with the Negotiating Framework and the Accession Partnership.
Forhandlingernes videre forløb vil afhænge af disse fremskridt.
This progress will guide the advancement of the negotiations.
Spørgsmålet om menneskerettigheder og grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder vil fortsat blive taget op af EU på alle relevante niveauer, herunder i associeringsrådet og på møderne inden for rammerne af den politiske dialog.
The issue of human rights and fundamental freedoms will continue to be raised by the EU side at all appropriate levels, including the Association Council and the Political Dialogue meetings.

Subject: Colombia's application for extension of benefits under the GSP+ system for the three-year period 2009‑11
I perioden 2006-2008 har Colombia været omfattet af EU's generelle toldpræferenceordning GPS+, hvor landet har draget nytte af den præferenceadgang til EU's marked, som særordningen giver.
From 2006 to 2008 Colombia has belonged to the EU’s generalised customs preference system GSP+, under which it has benefited from the privileged access to EU markets this special system confers.
Colombia har indleveret en ansøgning om fortsat at få præferencefordele i den næste treårsperiode 2009-2011.
Colombia has applied to obtain an extension of these benefits to cover the next three-year period 2009‑11.
I henhold til Kommissionens beslutning skal de lande, der stræber efter at blive omfattet af GPS+-ordningen i den nye periode, fortsat opfylde forpligtelserne i henhold til den oprindelige ordning, som bl.a. omhandler arbejdstagernes rettigheder, menneskerettigheder og miljøforpligtelser.
According to the Commission decision, countries seeking admission to the GSP+ system for the forthcoming period must continue to meet the obligations of the original system, relating inter alia to workers' rights, human rights and environmental responsibilities.
Ifølge en rapport fra den internationale sammenslutning af fagforeninger ITUC har den colombianske regerings foranstaltninger til sikring af de grundlæggende arbejdstagerrettigheder været yderst svage.
According to a report by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), the Colombian government has been markedly ineffectual in guaranteeing the basic rights of the workforce.
Situationen for fagbevægelsen og dens aktører i landet er dyster: Volden mod folk, der er aktive inden for fagforeningsarbejde, fortsætter, og mordstatistikkerne er dystre.
The situation of the trade union movement and its members in the country is dismal, violence against trade union activists is continuing and the murder statistics make for grim reading.
Desuden krænker arbejdsgivernes og myndighedernes handlinger også andre organisationsfriheder.
In addition, employers and the authorities are also violating other rights relating to the freedom of organisation.
Hvordan har Kommissionen tænkt sig at tage hensyn til landets dystre situation i forbindelse med overvejelserne af, om det skal tildeles en ekstra periode under GPS+-ordningen?

Om: Sudans præsident, Omar al-Bashir, holder stadig det internationale samfund for nar, mens menneskerettighederne fortsat krænkes i Darfur
Subject: Sudan: President Omar al-Bashir is still pulling the wool over the international community's eyes while human rights continue to be violated in Darfur
Tilbuddet bestod grundlæggende i at indstille den sag, som er anlagt mod al-Bashir ved Den Internationale Krigsforbryderdomstol, til gengæld for at han foretager en radikal ændring af sin politik og samarbejder om at løse konflikten i Darfur.
In essence, he offered to suspend the legal proceedings initiated against Mr Bashir by the International Criminal Court (ICC) if the Sudanese leader radically changed his policy and cooperated in helping resolve the Darfur conflict.
Dette initiativ blev afvist af anklageren ved Den Internationale Krigsforbryderdomstol, Luis Moreno Ocampo, samt af andre medlemmer af domstolen.
This move was rejected by the ICC's Chief Prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, and by other members of the court.
Anklagemyndigheden meddelte den 8. december 2008, at landene, og navnlig medlemmerne af FN's Sikkerhedsråd, skal stå ved deres beslutninger, og at al-Bashir bør stilles for retten.
The Chief Prosecutor said, on 8 December 2008, that countries, and Security Council members in particular, must be consistent in their decisions and that Mr Bashir must be brought to justice.
Den sudanesiske præsident er som bekendt tiltalt for folkemord i Darfur, selv om dommerne ved Den Internationale Krigsforbryderdomstol endnu ikke har udtalt sig om Moreno Ocampos sagsanlæg.
The Sudanese President is accused of genocide in Darfur, as is well known, even if the ICC judges have not yet given a ruling on Mr Moreno Ocampo's request for a warrant.
