Om: Overtrædelse af fællesskabsbestemmelserne, hvad angår Castrilfloden (Granada/Spanien)
Subject: Infringement of Community legislation in the river Castril (Granada, Spain)
Organisationen Plataforma para la Defensa del Río Castril (Granada/Spanien), som er repræsenteret i det spanske parti los Verdes (de grønne), er imod det vandomledningsprojekt, der skal anlægges fra starten af Portillodæmningen til udmundingen af Castrilfloden.
The Platform for the Defence of the River Castril (Granada, Spain), whose members include the Spanish Greens, opposes the plans for a pipeline which would divert water from the Portillo reservoir to the mouth of the river Castril.
Denne omledning er finansieret med fællesskabsmidler, og der er indgivet en klage over den alvorlige situation i form af andragende 1391/2007 til Europa-Parlamentets Udvalg for Andragender.
The project is in receipt of European funding, and the serious situation surrounding these plans has been the subject of a petition submitted to Parliament's Committee on Petitions (Petition No 1391/2007).
Eftersom en løsning på problemet haster, gøres Kommissionen opmærksom på de problemer, det pågældende omledningsprojekt kan medføre.
Given the urgent nature of this matter, we wish to draw the Commission's attention to the problems that this water diversion may cause.
Castrilflodens fysiske, kemiske og morfologiske tilstand er i øjeblikket god, hvilket fremgår af evalueringsrapporter fra 2008 om flodernes økologiske og kemiske tilstand.
The river Castril is currently in a good physico-chemical and morphological condition (according to the assessment reports on the ecological and chemical status of rivers in 2008) based on the low level of invertebrates, which does not correspond to the actual situation.
Dette begrundes med den manglende tilstedeværelse af hvirveldyr, hvilket dog ikke svarer til virkeligheden.
Moreover, the Andalusian Government's Environment Department includes the river Castril in its list of outstanding river banks.
Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 2000/60/EF af 23. oktober 2000 om fastlæggelse af en ramme for Fællesskabets vandpolitiske foranstaltninger ønsker at sikre, at vandområderne befinder sig i en god tilstand i år 2015.
Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2008 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy aims to achieve good status in all waters by 2015.
Føromtalte organisation frygter imidlertid, at det planlagte vandomledningsprojekt vil føre til, at floden mister sin økologiske kapacitet samt mange af de værdier, der er medvirkende til, at økosystemet på nuværende tidspunkt er acceptabelt.
The Platform for the Defence of the River Castril fears that the river's ecological volume would be lost as a result of the planned diversion, as would many features of its ecosystem, which is presently still in an acceptable condition.
Har Kommissionen kendskab til, at skader på et flodøkosystem accepteres fem år efter datoen for opfyldelse af fællesskabsbestemmelserne vedrørende vand?
Is the Commission aware that, five years before the target date laid down by Community legislation on water, it is considered acceptable to damage a river ecosystem by diverting water?
Eftersom der er registreret uregelmæssigheder i forbindelse med flodens økologiske tilstand, bedes Kommissionen besvare, om den agter at forbedre denne tilstand i form af en alternativ løsning — som desværre endnu ikke er fremlagt — idet vandet fortsat omledes til flodens udmunding frem for til dens udspring.
Given that shortcomings have been found in the river's ecological status, does the Commission believe that efforts should be made to improve its ecological condition by seeking an alternative solution — which has regrettably not been taken into consideration — that would preserve the river as far as its mouth by giving preference to the extraction of water in the lower rather than the upper part of the river?

Om: Præsentation af ambassadørers akkreditiver for formanden for Det Europæiske Råd
Subject: Presentation of ambassadors' credentials to the President of the European Council
EU‑traktatens artikel 15, stk. 6, andet afsnit, bestemmer således: »Det Europæiske Råds formand varetager i denne egenskab på sit niveau Unionens repræsentation udadtil på de områder, der hører under den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik«.
According to the second subparagraph of Article 15(6) of the EU Treaty: ‘The President of the European Council shall, at his level and in that capacity, ensure the external representation of the Union on issues concerning its foreign and security policy’.
Endvidere bestemmer EU‑traktatens artikel 24, stk. 1, at »Unionens kompetence inden for den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik omfatter alle udenrigspolitiske områder«.
Furthermore, Article 24(1) of the EU Treaty provides that ‘The Union's competence in matters of common foreign and security policy shall cover all areas of foreign policy’.
Tredjelandes ambassadører, der er akkrediteret ved EU, har derfor siden januar 2010 overrakt derfor deres akkreditiver til Det Europæiske Råds formand.
For these reasons, ambassadors of third States accredited to the EU present their credentials to the President of the European Council since January 2010.
Rådet mener dog, at den praksis, hvor tredjelandes ambassadører desuden overrækker deres akkreditiver til Europa-Kommissionens formand, også er forenelig med traktaterne, eftersom EU‑traktatens artikel 17, stk. 1, bestemmer, at »Bortset fra den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik og de øvrige tilfælde, der er nævnt i traktaterne, varetager den [Kommissionen] Unionens repræsentation udadtil«.
Nevertheless, the Council considers that, since Article 17(1) of the EU Treaty provides that ‘With the exception of the common foreign and security policy, and other cases provided for in the Treaties, it [the Commission] shall ensure the Union's external representation’, the practice whereby ambassadors of third States present their credentials to the President of the European Commission as well is also consistent with the treaties.

Om: Rejsestipendier til unge
Subject: Foreign study grants
Den 8. juli 2009 blev der offentliggjort en grønbog om fremme af mobilitet blandt unge mennesker.
A Green Paper on Promoting the Learning Mobility of Young People was published on 8 July 2009.
I grønbogen tales der om at give de europæiske unge en væsentlig bedre mulighed for at studerende uden for deres hjemlands grænser.
This Green Paper talks about a major increase in opportunities for young Europeans to study outside their own countries.
En rapport fra juli 2008 udarbejdet af Kommissionens højtstående eksperter indeholder et mål om at øge mobiliteten blandt de unge med 30 % midt i perioden i 2015.
The July 2008 report of the High Level Expert Forum established by the Commission sets a target of increasing youth mobility in the medium term by 30 % before 2015, and by at least 50 % before 2020.
I denne forbindelse vil jeg gerne spørge, hvordan stipendieværdien udregnes for unge, der rejser til udlandet for at studere.
In this connection, how are grants for young people travelling abroad in order to study calculated, and what is the legal basis for this?
Er Kommissionen klar over, at metoden til beregning af stipendiestørrelsen kan være betydelig dårligere for studerende fra lande, der ikke er medlem af euroområdet, samt stater, der er medlem af Det Østlige Partnerskab?
Is the Commission aware that the way in which grants are calculated can be much less favourable to students from countries outside the eurozone or from Eastern Partnership countries?

Om: Sikring af arbejdspladser gennem øget finansiering til små og mellemstore virksomheder
Subject: Securing employment by stepping up funding for small and medium-sized undertakings
Udarbejdes der, eller skal i der i nærmeste fremtid udarbejdes, en plan for en yderligere styrkelse af finansieringerne til de små og mellemstore virksomheder, og især til dem, der fremviser tilfredsstillende bæredygtighedsindekser, med særlige klausuler over for de egentlige ejere, såsom et forbud mod afskedigelser eller andre ændringer, der er ugunstige for arbejdssituationen?
In view of this, has the Commission drawn up or does it intend to draw up in the immediate future a special programme for small and medium-sized undertakings, in particular those with a satisfactory balance sheets, under which additional funding would be subject to special conditions preventing beneficiaries from dismissing staff or introducing less favourable conditions at the workplace?

Om: Lovligheden af de handlinger, der fandt sted i Rambouillet og Kosovo
Subject: The legality of the actions taken at Rambouillet and in Kosovo
Som Rådet sandsynligvis er bekendt med, finder Chilcottundersøgelsen om krigen i Irak i øjeblikket sted i Det Forenede Kongerige, hvor premierminister Gordon Brown og tidligere premierminister Tony Blair allerede har forelagt deres viden.
As the Council will be aware, the Chilcott enquiry into the war in Iraq is currently taking place in the UK, with Prime Minister Gordon Brown and former Prime Minister Tony Blair already having given evidence.
Et af udvalgets prioriteter har været Irakkrigens lovlighed.
One of the focuses of the Inquiry has been the legality of the war in Iraq.
Det første alvorlige skridt til »liberal indgriben« efter afslutningen på den kolde krig var imidlertid ikke i Irak, men i Kosovo.
The first major act of ‘liberal interventionism’ following the end of the Cold War was, however, not in Iraq, but in Kosovo.
Forud for indledningen af konflikten i Kosovo havde Hubert Vedrine, Robin Cook og Madeleine Albright, udenrigsministrene fra henholdsvis Frankrig, Det Forenede Kongerige og USA, holdt møde i Rambouillet, og havde truet det tidligere Jugoslavien med militære aktioner, hvis det ikke bl.a. accepterede tilstedeværelsen af udenlandske tropper på dets område.
Prior to the initiation of hostilities in Kosovo, Hubert Vedrine, Robin Cook and Madeline Albright, the foreign ministers of France, the UK and the US respectively, had met at Rambouillet and threatened the then Yugoslavia with military action if it did not, amongst other things, accept the presence of foreign troops on its soil.
Dette var i vid udstrækning en reaktion på den påståede massakre af mere end 40 mennesker i landsbyen Racak i januar 1999, som kan sammenlignes med klager over masseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak i det omfang, at det gav mange en politisk og nogle en juridisk begrundelse for en militæraktion på trods af manglen på en autoriseret tilladelse fra FN's Sikkerhedsråd.
This was in large part a response to an alleged massacre of over forty people in the village of Racak in January 1999, which was comparable to the claims of WMD in Iraq in so far as it provided for many a political, and for some, a legal, justification for military action, despite the absence of any authorising resolutions from the UN Security Council.
I foråret 1999 var en gruppe finske patologer bestilt af EU og OSCE til at udarbejde en rapport, om hvad der havde fundet sted i Racak.
In the spring of 1999 a team of Finnish pathologists was commissioned jointly by the EU and the OSCE to produce a report into what had taken place at Racak.
Denne rapport er aldrig blevet offentliggjort, selv om Kommissionen udgav en utilstrækkelig og meget begrænset sammenfatning for lidt under 10 år siden som følge af nogle af patologernes beslutning om at offentliggøre en artikel i et noget obskurt Oxfordtidsskrift, hvori i de foreslog, at det ikke var muligt at drage en endelig konklusion på grund af den forsinkede adgang til ligene.
This report has never been published, although the Commission released an insubstantial and very limited summary just under 10 years ago, following the decision of some of the pathologists to publish an article in a somewhat obscure Oxford journal in which they suggested that it was not possible to reach any definitive conclusions due to the delay in gaining access to the bodies.
Agter Rådet nu at offentliggøre den fulde, ikkeredigerede rapport både for at afværge beskyldninger om en »tilsløring« og ligeledes for at sikre en historisk set mere oplyst debat om lovligheden af de handlinger, der fandt sted på Balkan i 1999?
Will the Council now support publication by the Commission of the full, unedited report, both to prevent any accusations of a ‘cover-up’ and also to ensure a historically more fully informed debate as to the legitimacy of actions taken in the Balkans in 1999?

Om: Blyforgiftning blandt børn i Vestafrika fra kasserede europæiske tv-apparater
Subject: Lead poisoning among children in West Africa from disused European television sets
Et BBC‑nyhedsindslag hævdede for nylig, at børn og voksne i Ghana lider af blyforgiftning som følge af dumping af gamle og kasserede tv-apparater fra Det Forenede Kongerige.
A BBC television news report recently claimed that children and adults in Ghana were suffering from lead poisoning consequent upon the dumping of old and discarded TV sets from the UK.
Nyhedsindslaget hævdede, at Det Forende Kongeriges affaldsdeponeringspladser forlanger tre eller fire britiske pund for bortskaffelse, mens nogle virksomheder har været indstillet på ligefrem at betale mindre beløb for at opkøbe disse apparater, som i sidste ende finder vej til åbne affaldsdeponeringspladser i Ghana, hvor børn møjsommeligt har tjent til livets ophold ved at fjerne de meget små mængder kobber, der findes inde i hvert apparat.
The report claimed that the UK dump sites are charging three or four pounds sterling for disposal, whilst some commercial outfits have been prepared to actually pay small amounts of money to purchase the same sets, which eventually find their way to open ground dumpsites in Ghana where children have been eking out a living by removing the very small amounts of copper found inside each set.
Som et resultat heraf er mange mennesker blevet syge, da det omkringliggende areal indeholder meget høje giftkoncentrationer af bly.
As a result, many people have been made ill, with the surrounding land containing very high toxic concentrations of lead.
Kan Kommissionen kontrollere i samarbejde med BBC News, Det Forenede Kongeriges miljøagentur og om nødvendigt Ghanas regering, hvorvidt nyhedsindslaget er pålideligt?
Will the Commission check with BBC News, the UK Environment Agency and, if necessary, the Ghanaian Government, to establish the veracity of the report?

Om: Konsekvenserne af flytning uden for EU for at reducere selskabsskatten
Subject: The implications of relocating outside the EU to reduce corporate tax liabilities
Der er forlydender om, at en af Storbritanniens største virksomheder, Ineos, vil forsøge at overtale sine primære kreditorer til at tillade en udflytning til Schweiz som en metode til at reducere selskabsskatten.
There are reports that one of Britain's largest private companies, Ineos, will try to persuade its principal creditors to permit a relocation to Switzerland as a way of reducing corporate tax liabilities.
Endvidere er der lydt alvorlige advarsler om, at hvis Det Forenede Kongerige tilslutter sig en vigtig bankreform, vil en række hedgefonde flytte til Schweiz eller andetsteds, selv om meget af deres virksomhedsaktivitet nødvendigvis fortsat vil foregå gennem London samt andre europæiske finanscentre.
Dire warnings have also been heard that if the UK embraces serious banking reform then a number of hedge funds will relocate to Switzerland or elsewhere, even though, of necessity, much of their business will continue to be transacted through the City of London as well as other European financial centres.
Mener Kommissionen, at skat for både privatpersoner og virksomheder principielt (bortset fra indlysende undtagelser, såsom multinationale institutioner) skal betales, hvis det er muligt, til de skattejurisdiktioner, hvor pengene faktisk er tjent, således at en virksomhed eller hedgefond, som er anmeldt i Schweiz, men tjener 90 % af sin indtægt i Tyskland, burde betale selskabsskat af denne fortjeneste til de tyske frem for de schweiziske skattemyndigheder?
Does the Commission believe that, as a matter of general principle (aside from obvious exceptions such as multinational institutions), taxes for both individuals and companies should be paid, wherever possible, in the tax jurisdictions where the money is actually earned, so that a company or hedge fund which is incorporated in Switzerland, but which earns 90 % of its profits in Germany, should pay corporation tax on those profits to the German rather than Swiss tax authorities?
Kan Kommissionen endvidere oplyse om, hvilke internationale aftaler, der er indgået af EU eller af de enkelte medlemsstater, som har en indflydelse på betalingen af selskabsskat af virksomheder, som gør forretning inden for EU, men som er anmeldt andetsteds, og mere generelt om hvilke regler der er fastsat (dvs. foranstaltninger mod unddragelse) for at forhindre multinationale virksomheder i at tilsløre deres faktiske fortjeneste inden for en bestemt skattejurisdiktion (interne afregningspriser), når de indgiver deres selskabsskat til den enkelte EU‑medlemsstat?
Can the Commission also indicate what international agreements have been made by the EU or the Member States individually which affect the payment of corporation tax by companies that do business within the EU, but which are incorporated elsewhere, and, more generally, what rules are in place (i.e. anti-avoidance measures) to prevent multinational companies from disguising their true profits within a particular tax jurisdiction (transfer pricing) when declaring their tax liabilities to an individual EU Member State?
