Om: Opfølgningsforespørgsel vedrørende innovativ finansiering for at omsætte opdagelser i EU til vacciner, der er tilgængelige i hele verden for at fjerne tuberkulose og bidrage til Europas mål for 2020
Subject: Follow-up question concerning innovative funding to translate EU discoveries into worldwide-accessible vaccines to eliminate tuberculosis and contribute to EU 2020 goals
Medlemsstaterne og EU har investeret meget i forskning i tuberkulosevacciner (rammeprogram 5, 6 og 7).
Member States and the EU have invested heavily in research into tuberculosis vaccines (Framework Programmes 5, 6 and 7).
Grupper, der nu er omgrupperet i TBVI (Initiativet vedrørende Tuberkulosevaccine), har leveret opdagelser i verdensklasse, som er klar til at blive omsat til nye, effektive og sikre vacciner.
Consortia, now regrouped in TBVI (the Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative), have delivered world-class discoveries which are ready to be translated into new, effective and safe vaccines.
Disse vacciner vil bidrage væsentligt til at udrydde tuberkulose i hele verden og ville, hvis de udvikledes i EU (gennem at EU-finansieret forskning og udvikling omsat til merværdi og videnbaseret økonomi), skabe over 1.000 job direkte forbundet hermed, øget viden og tilstrækkelig gavn til at foretage yderligere investeringer i viden og omsætning af viden.
These vaccines will contribute significantly to the elimination of tuberculosis throughout the world and, if developed in the EU (through a translation of EU-funded R&D into added value and knowledge-based economy), would generate more than 1 000 directly-linked jobs, increased knowledge and sufficient benefit for further investment in knowledge and translation.
Med 560 mio. euro kunne denne omsætning til brugbare ressourcer færdiggøres omkring 2020, hvorefter investeringen kunne betales tilbage.
With EUR 560 million, this translation into usable resources could be completed by around 2020, after which the investment could be paid back.
Mangel på disse finansielle ressourcer skaber nu endeløse flaskehalse med risiko for, at disse opdagelser i sidste ende vil blive flyttet ud af EU og skabe merværdi og job andre steder uden nogen tilbagebetaling for den investering, der i første omgang blev foretaget i Europa.
Lack of these financial resources is now creating endless bottlenecks, with the risk that these discoveries will finally leave the EU and create added value and jobs elsewhere, without any payback for the initial European investment.
Innovativ finansiering kan være løsningen, ved at der skabes finansielle garantier fra regeringer og/eller EU, der muliggør TBVI, som blev skabt af Kommissionen, for at skaffe de midler, der er behov for til at udvikle vaccinerne og tilbagebetale investeringerne gennem salg af vacciner.
Innovative funding can provide the solution by creating government and/or EU financial guarantees enabling the TBVI, which was created by the EU Commission, to raise the funds needed to develop the vaccines and pay back the investment through vaccine sales.
Dette ville skabe merværdi i EU, give EU-borgere nye midler til sundhedsbeskyttelse og sætte EU i stand til at spille en stor rolle i forbindelse med bekæmpelse af fattigdom, eftersom tuberkulose koster de mindst udviklede lande milliarder af euro hvert år.
This would create added value in the EU, provide EU citizens with new means of health protection and enable the EU to play a major role in reducing poverty, since tuberculosis costs LDCs (least developed countries) billions of euros per year.
Endelig ville det vise, at EU's 2020-mål er alvorligt ment.
Finally, it would show that EU 2020 is serious.
Kun få projekter indebærer en sådan samfundsmæssig belønning i EU og andre steder i verden.
Few projects have such a societal reward in the EU and elsewhere in the world.
Vil Kommissionen støtte initiativet til innovativ finansiering ved hjælp af finansielle garantier?
Would the Commission support the initiative of innovative funding by means of financial guarantees?
Er Kommissionen villig til at stille sin ekspertise til rådighed, således at dette projekt kan anvendes som en model for opfyldelse af EU 2020-målene?
Is the Commission willing to make its expertise available so that this project can be used as a model in achieving the EU 2020 objectives?
Vil Kommissionen bidrage til at koordinere medlemsstaternes indsats for at gøre finansielle garantier til udvikling af tuberkulosevacciner en realitet, idet de enorme samfundsmæssige fordele erindres?
Would the Commission help to coordinate action by the Member States to make financial guarantees for the development of TB vaccines a reality, taking into account the huge societal benefits?

Om: Sanering af lossepladser
Subject: Waste disposal sites to be remediated
Det italienske miljøministerium har til saneringerne påpeget 57 lokaliteter af national betydning, heriblandt syv med særlig betydning: Santa Giulia – Milano, ex Caffaro – Udine, Discarica Pitelli – La Spezia, ex Montedison – Pescara, Ilva – Taranto, ex Pertusola Sud – Crotone og polo petrolchimico – Siracusa.
The Italian Ministry of the Environment has identified 57 sites of national interest for remediation, including 7 of particular importance: Santa Giulia — Milan, the former Caffaro site — Udine, the Pitelli disposal site — La Spezia, the former Montedison site — Pescara, Ilva — Taranto, the former Pertusola Sud site — Crotone, and the petrochemical centre — Syracuse.
Er Kommissionen bekendt med situationen i de italienske lokaliteter af betydning, hvad angår overholdelse af direktiv 2006/12/EF? 2.
Does the Commission know of the position regarding the Italian sites of national interest from the point of view of compliance with Directive 2006/12/EC?

Om: Frontex — mere administration end operation
Subject: Frontex: administration outweighs operational capability
Fra budgettet for 2008 til det forventede budget for 2011 er bevillingerne til Frontex steget fra 71,2 til 88,2 mio. euro.
The amount earmarked for Frontex has risen from EUR 71.2 million in the 2008 budget to EUR 88.2 million in the 2011 budget.
Andelen til de administrative udgifter er imidlertid vokset fra 19,8 mio. euro (27 % af hele budgettet) til 36 mio. euro i 2011 (41 % af budgettet).
The proportion of administrative expenditure, however, has increased from EUR 19.8 million (27 % of the total Frontex budget) to EUR 36 million for 2011 (in other words 41 % of the budget).
Dette viser, at de administrative udgifter stiger meget mere end de operative udgifter, som jo er dem, der skulle modvirke ulovlig indvandring.
Administrative expenditure is thus growing at a much higher rate than the operating expenditure that should be used to combat illegal immigration.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at Frontex burde blive en reel operativ struktur, der udfører konkrete opgaver med kontrol af EU's sø- og landegrænser? 2.
Does the Commission not think that Frontex should be made genuinely operational and called upon to perform specific tasks related to the policing of the EU’s land and sea borders?
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at det ville være fordelagtigt at forkorte asylansøgningernes behandlingstid, som i Italien ikke overtiger seks måneder?
Does it not consider that it would be desirable to shorten the time taken to assess asylum applications, which in Italy is no longer than six months?

Om: Stop for dentalt amalgam
Subject: No more dental amalgam
Mange private foreninger (ca. 80), der er samlet i »Zero Mercury Working Group«, og som kommer fra 45 lande, kræver en reduktion af kviksølvsemissionerne på globalt plan, mens »World Alliance for Mercury Free Dentistry« mere specifikt kræver, at tandfyldninger indeholdende kviksølv (amalgam) bliver bandlyst.
Numerous private associations (about eighty) from 45 countries, under the umbrella of the Zero Mercury Working Group, are calling for a worldwide reduction in mercury emissions, and the World Alliance for Mercury-Free Dentistry is specifically calling for a ban on mercury- (amalgam-)based filling material.
Det forholder sig nemlig sådan, at personer, der lider af særlige sygdomme, er særligt følsomme og allergiske over for de kviksølvsemissioner, som tandfyldningerne indeholder.
One reason is that persons suffering from certain syndromes are particularly sensitive and allergic to emissions of mercury contained in tooth fillings.
Også rapporten »Review of the Community Strategy concerning Mercury« fra Bio Intelligence Service foreslår forbud mod dentalt kviksølv.
The ‘Review of the Community Strategy concerning Mercury’, produced by the Bio Intelligence Service, also suggests that dental mercury should be banned.
I tandplejesektoren er flere og flere tandlæger ved at tilslutte sig dette synspunkt, hvilket er et godt tegn.
More and more dentists are starting to take the same view: this is an encouraging sign.
Har Kommissionen i bekræftende fald beføjelse til at foreslå, at medlemsstaterne forbyder brug af amalgam? 3.
If so, does it have the power to propose that Member States prohibit its use for that purpose?

Question for written answer E-9512/2010
En af de mest almindelige former for afgifter er selskabsskat.
One of the commonest forms of taxation is what in Spain is known as Impuesto sobre Sociedades (company tax).
Den direkte skat på virksomhedens indkomst, dvs. overskuddet, er en af medlemsstaternes største indtægtskilder, den tredjestørste efter moms og enhedsskat for privatpersoner, og er af afgørende betydning for udviklingen af de offentlige politikker og nedbringelsen af det offentlige underskud.
Direct taxation on companies’ income, i.e. their profits, is one of the main sources of government revenue — the third largest source after VAT and IRPA (personal income tax) — essential for implementing public policies and containment of the deficit.
Den generelle procentsats for selskabsskat svinger i de forskellige medlemsstater i EU mellem 10 % og 35 %.
In the various EU Member States, the general rates of company tax range from 10 % to 35 %.
Den reelle procentsats, der betales af virksomhederne, er imidlertid langt lavere, da størstedelen af virksomhederne nyder godt af fradrag og fritagelser.
However, the actual rate paid by companies is far lower than the general rate, since most companies benefit from deductions and exemptions.
Endvidere undgår en stor del af de børsnoterede selskabers overskud at blive pålagt selskabsskat, da visse former for udbytte fritages for dette.
Furthermore, no company tax is paid on a substantial part of the profits of companies quoted on the stock exchange, since certain profits are deemed exempt.
Direktiv 2004/39/EF om markeder for finansielle instrumenter eller direktiv 2003/123/EF om en fælles beskatningsordning for moder- og datterselskaber fra forskellige medlemsstater er to eksempler på en sådan lovgivning, der gør det muligt at undgå beskatning af overskud.
Directive 2004/39/EC on markets and financial instruments or Directive 2003/123/EC on the common system of taxation applicable in the case of parent companies and subsidiaries of different Member States are both examples of laws which allow tax exemption of profits.
I Spanien, hvor de børsnoterede virksomheder er de mest udbytterige i landet, sker der en alvorlig skævvridning, da den gennemsnitlige reelle procentsats er mindre for hvert øvre udbyttetrin: næsten 24 % for virksomheder med et skatteberegningsgrundlag på 9.247 euro, der reduceres til ca. 19 % for virksomheder med et overskud på mere end 180 mio. euro og et gennemsnitligt skatteberegningsgrundlag på mere end 95 mio. euro.
In Spain, given that companies quoted on the stock exchange have the largest profits, this results in severe dysfunction, since the average actual rate decreases as profits increase, standing at almost 24 % for companies with a tax-base of EUR 9 247, which falls to around 19 % in companies with profits exceeding EUR 180 million with an average tax base of over EUR 95 million.
Mener Kommissionen, at det er retfærdigt, at der findes regressive skatter med en lavere procentsats for de virksomheder, der har største udbytte?
Does the Commission believe that it is right that there should be regressive taxes, whereby greater profits generate lower rates?
Har Kommissionen kendskab til, at denne regressive effekt findes i selskabsskatter i de resterende medlemsstater?
Does the Commission have evidence that this regressive effect occurs in the application of company tax in the rest of the Member States?
Inden for rammerne af strategierne for fradrag for det offentlige underskud i euroområdet og overholdelse af målet om budgetstabilitet, har Kommissionen så til hensigt at gennemføre ændringer af fritagelser for betaling af skat?
Within the framework of public deficit reduction strategies in the eurozone, and meeting the goal of budgetary stability, is the Commission considering making changes to exemptions from company tax?

Om: Spaniens modstand mod eurovignetten
Subject: Spanish opposition to the Euro vignette
Den 15. oktober indgik Rådet (transport) en aftale med henblik på at fremme pålægning af skat på tunge køretøjer, også kendt som »eurovignetten«, der har til formål at internalisere udgifterne til miljø og infrastrukturer.
On 15 October 2010, the Council of EU Transport Ministers reached agreement on pushing ahead with the heavy goods vehicle tax known as the Eurovignette, intended to internalise environmental and infrastructure costs.
Efter mødet, hvor indførelsen af skatten blev vedtaget, fremgik det af kommunikationsmedier, at den spanske udviklingsminister, José Blanco, havde udtalt, at denne skat ville være frivillig og derfor ikke ville finde anvendelse i Spanien.
Following the meeting which approved the implementation of the tax, the media reported that the Spanish Public Works Minister, José Blanco, had said that the tax would be optional, and as a result would not be applied in Spain.
Endvidere er Spanien det eneste land, der endnu ikke har gennemført Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 2006/38/EF af 17. maj 2006 om ændring af direktiv 1999/62/EF om afgifter på tunge godskøretøjer for benyttelse af visse infrastrukturer, også kendt som »eurovignetdirektivet«.
Furthermore, it is the case that Spain is the only country which has not transposed Directive 2006/38/EC on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures, known as the ‘Eurovignette Directive’.
Har Kommissionen til hensigt at træffe nogen foranstaltninger i forbindelse med det faktum, at Spanien er den eneste medlemsstat, der ikke har gennemført eurovignetdirektivet?
Does the Commission intend to do anything about the fact that Spain is the sole Member State which has not transposed the Eurovignette Directive?
Hvilke argumenter blev anvendt for at begrunde, at den spanske repræsentant stemte imod?
What reasons were given for the Spanish representative’s vote against the implementation of the tax?
Er anvendelsen af eurovignetten frivillig for nogle medlemsstater?
Will the implementation of the Eurovignette be optional for any Member States?

Om: Redningsplan for motorvejsoperatører i Spanien
Subject: Subsidies for Spanish motorway operating companies
Den spanske regering godkendte sidste år aktionærkreditter for de ekstraudgifter, eksproprieringer har medført for visse motorveje med et lavt antal kunder.
Last year, the Spanish Government approved shareholder loans for the additional costs of the expropriations for specific motorways with a low client ratio.
I år forventes dette tal at blive endnu højere og endda så højt som 250 mio. euro i aktionærkreditter til de motorveje, der har ekstraudgifter som følge af eksproprieringer og 400 mio. til førstegenerationsmotorveje.
This year, it has estimated that the figure is going to be far higher, perhaps as much as EUR 250 million in shareholder loans for the motorways with additional expropriation costs and EUR 400 million for first-generation motorways.
Endvidere kan det ikke afvises, at der oprettes en kompensationsfond til disse motorvejsoperatører, der i visse tilfælde betjener 10 % af den gennemsnitlige motorvejstrafik.
Furthermore, there is the possibility that a clearing account may be set up for these motorway operating companies, which in some cases account for 10% of average motorway traffic.
Ovenstående betyder, at statens gæld øges, og at der anvendes offentlige midler til private interesser.
All of this means increasing government indebtedness and using public funds for private interests.
Hvad er Kommissionens holdning til, at den spanske stat kompenserer private motorvejsoperatører for at have færre kunder end forventet?
What is the Commission’s opinion of the fact that the Spanish Government is compensating private motorway operating companies for the fact that they have fewer clients than they had envisaged?
Har Kommissionen til hensigt at træffe foranstaltninger med henblik på at forsøge at ændre den spanske regeringspolitik?
Does the Commission intend to take any steps to try to change this Spanish government policy?
Finder Kommissionen det passende, at der, samtidig med at udgifterne til basale sociale politikker reduceres for at mindske underskuddet og overholdet kravet om budgetstabilitet, anvendes offentlige midler til at hjælpe de operatører, der påvirkes af den lave mængde trafik på visse motorveje?
Can the Commission see any consistency in an approach whereby basic social policies are being cut back in order to reduce the deficit and comply with the agreement on budgetary stability, while public money is being spent on helping private companies affected by low traffic density on certain motorways?
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at ovenstående er et bevis på, at visse vejinfrastrukturer i Spanien er unødvendige, dyre og ikke bæredygtige?
Does the Commission not think that this shows that some of Spain’s transport infrastructure is unnecessary, expensive and unsustainable?

Om: Spionageanklager mod den colombianske regering
Subject: Colombian Government accused of espionage
En netavis skrev for nogle dage siden, at en række spanske ngo'er har klaget over Colombias forhenværende præsident, Álvaro Uribe, idet den colombianske efterretningstjeneste (DAS) anklages for at stå bag ulovlige forfølgelser af 20 personer fra de nævnte organisationer.
Some days ago, an online journal reported on the complaints made by various Spanish NGOs against the former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe, claiming that 20 individuals belonging to the organisations in question had been subjected to illegal surveillance by the Colombian Administrative Department of Security (DAS).
Klagen omfatter desuden Jorge Noguera, direktør for DAS mellem 2002 og 2006, og Germán Villalba, som stod i spidsen for de omtalte forfølgelser.
The accusation also includes Jorge Noguera, who was the director of the DAS between 2002 and 2006, and Germán Villalba Chávez, the official in charge of the DAS surveillance activities in question.
Ngo'erne og de aktivister, som blev udsat for spionage i Madrid og andre spanske byer, var ifølge advokater fra organisationen for retfærdighed i Colombia mål for Uribe-regeringens politiske krig.
Certain lawyers from the organisation Justicia por Colombia claim that the NGOs in question and the activists who were allegedly spied on in Madrid and other Spanish cities were seen by the Uribe government as ‘targets in its political war’.
I juni sidste år anmodede forskellige colombianske og europæiske ngo'er Europa-Parlamentet om at oprette en særlig kommission, som skulle undersøge de mulige tilfælde af spionage, som DAS angiveligt stod bag.
In June 2009, various Colombian and European NGOs called on the European Parliament to set up a Special Commission to investigate the alleged espionage carried out by the DAS.
Ifølge en rapport fra den colombianske anklagemyndighed om Uribe-regeringens ulovlige aktiviteter mellem 2004 og 2005, spionerede den colombianske efterretningstjeneste aktivister og organisationer i Madrid og andre spanske byer.
In a report by the Colombian prosecutor's office about the illegal activities of the Uriba government in 2004 and 2005, the Colombian intelligence services carried out espionage in Madrid and other Spanish cities on human rights activists and organisations, with the goal of discrediting them.
Agter Rådet at træffe foranstaltninger, som kan afklare, om der er foretaget ulovlig spionage?

If these accusations should prove to be true, will the EU be taking any steps to ensure that the former president of Colombia accepts responsibility for what happened?
Rådet er bekendt med de spørgsmål vedrørende DAS, som det ærede medlem omtaler, og det følger menneskerettighedssituationen i Colombia nøje.
The Council is aware of the issues relating to the DAS to which the Honourable Member refers and is following the human rights situation in Colombia closely.
Rådet har imidlertid ikke drøftet den specifikke sag, der omtales i forespørgslen.
However, the Council has not discussed the specific issue raised in the question.
EU viderebringer alle betænkeligheder vedrørende menneskerettighederne til myndighederne i Bogotá inden for rammerne af sine regelmæssige kontakter og under den regelmæssige menneskerettighedsdialog mellem EU og Colombia, der senest fandt sted den 24. november 2010 med myndighederne på højt plan.
The EU conveys any concerns with regard to human rights to the authorities in Bogotá within the framework of its regular contacts, as well as during the EU‑Colombia Human Rights Dialogue which takes place on a regular basis, most recently on 24 November, with the authorities at senior level.
Ud over denne regelmæssige dialog rapporterer både EU's delegation og medlemsstaternes ambassader på stedet regelmæssigt til Rådet om spørgsmål af særlig betydning.
In addition to this regular dialogue, both the EU delegation and the embassies of the Member States present on the spot regularly report to the Council on issues of particular importance.
