Om: Godkendte kliniske laboratorier i Cypern
Subject: Accredited clinical laboratories in Cyprus
Kliniske laboratorier står for en vigtig tjenesteydelse i et ordentligt sundhedssystem.
Clinical laboratories constitute an important service in a proper health care system.
For at sådan en tjenesteydelse kan være anvendelig og ufarlig, bør laboratorierne være fuldt godkendte.
For such a service to be useful and not dangerous, such laboratories must be fully accredited.
Det er foruroligende at konstatere, at kun ti ud af 138 private kliniske laboratorier i Republikken Cypern er godkendte.
It is disturbing to note that in the Republic of Cyprus only ten of the 138 private clinical laboratories are accredited.
Endvidere afslørede en nylig presseundersøgelse, hvordan resultater fra den samme blodprøve sendt til analyse hos forskellige laboratorier havde vidt forskellige udfald.
Furthermore, in a recent press survey, results obtained on the same blood specimen submitted for analysis to different laboratories showed wildly different results.
Vil Kommissionen anmode de cypriotiske myndigheder om at forelægge informationer om antallet af fungerende laboratorier i landet, godkendte såvel som ikke godkendte?
Could the Commission request the Cyprus authorities to provide data on the number of clinical laboratories functioning in the country that are, and are not, accredited?

Could the Commission also ask the Cyprus authorities to provide an explanation for the aforementioned sorry state of affairs regarding the operation of clinical laboratories in Cyprus, and a plan of action to remedy the situation?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1938/08
Om: Urimelig konfiskation af toldfri whisky
Subject: Unfair confiscation of duty free whisky
Sidste måned fik en af mine vælgere konfiskeret to literflasker med whisky, indkøbt for hans sidste nuevos soles i Lima lufthavns toldfrie butik, af de nederlandske myndigheder umiddelbart efter ankomsten med natflyet fra Lima til transit i Amsterdam, hvorfra han fløj videre til Humberside International Airport.
One of my constituents, having just arrived in Amsterdam on an overnight flight from Lima last month, and transferring onto a flight for Humberside International Airport, had two litre-bottles of whisky, purchased with his remaining nuevos soles at Lima Airport’s duty free shop, confiscated by the Dutch authorities.
Han fik at vide, at selvom flaskerne var blevet forseglet i en plasticpose i den toldfrie butik i Lima, var de ikke indkøbt i Schiphol og befandt sig derfor ikke i en forseglingspose af »See Buy Fly«-typen, som betød at de ikke kunne medbringes.
He was told that even though the bottles had been sealed inside a plastic bag at the Lima duty free shop, they had not been purchased at Schiphol and were not in the ‘See Buy Fly’-type of sealed bag, which meant they could not proceed.
Hvis hans fly var landet direkte i en lufthavn i Det Forenede Kongerige, ville han stadig være i besiddelse af sin whisky.
If his flight had been direct into a UK airport, he would still be in possession of his whisky.
Han føler derfor, at han er blevet straffet, fordi hans fly fløj via en anden europæisk lufthavn.
He therefore feels that he has been penalised because his flight was routed via another European Airport.
Han har svært ved at forstå, om reglerne findes af sikkerhedsmæssige eller økonomiske grunde.
What he finds hard to understand is whether the rules are for safety or financial reasons.
Hvis de findes af sikkerhedsmæssige grunde — dvs. at poser forseglet i den toldfrie butik i Lima, som må medbringes over Atlanterhavet, ikke er så sikre som poser forseglet i Schiphol Duty & Tax Free, der må medbringes over Nordsøen – så forstår han det godt.
If they are for safety reasons — i.e. bags sealed at the Lima duty free shop and allowed to be flown across the Atlantic are not as secure as a bag sealed at Schiphol Duty & Tax Free to be flown across the North Sea — then he could understand.
Ser man bort fra den forklaring, står han tilbage med en følelse af, at reglerne findes alene af økonomiske grunde – dvs. at de tvinger rejsende til at gøre deres indkøb i Schiphol, og dermed ikke tillader internationale rejsende at vælge, hvad, hvornår og hvor de køber deres toldfrie varer.
Short of that explanation, he is left feeling that it is for financial reasons only — i.e. forcing travellers to only purchase at Schiphol, and therefore not giving international travellers the right to choose what, when and where they can buy their duty free drinks.
Det er, kunne man hævde, en moderne form for »landevejsrøveri«.
This, it could be argued, is a modern-day version of ‘highway robbery’.
Havde Schiphols myndigheder ret til denne konfiskation?
Were the Schiphol authorities correct in that confiscation?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1939/08
Om: Sociale tjenesteydelser
Subject: Social services provision
Sociale tjenesteydelser er tydeligvis vigtige i overalt i EU.
Social services provision is clearly vital across the EU.
Det er vigtigt, at der er klare principper og juridisk sikkerhed for, hvad tjenesteydelse af almindelig interesse, tjenesteydelser af almindelig økonomisk interesse, tjenesteydelse af ikke-økonomisk interesse og social tjenesteydelse af almindelig interesse er.
It is important that there is a clear framework and legal certainty on what is a ‘Service of General Interest’ (SGI), a ‘Service of General Economic Interest’ (SGEI), a ‘Service of Non-Economic Interest’ (SNEI) and a ‘Social Service of General Interest’ (SSGI).
Mange lokale myndigheder er fortalere for fritagelsen af lokale offentlige tjenesteydelser fra EU's konkurrencebestemmelser eller i det mindste en passende anvendelse heraf.
Many local authorities advocate the exemption of local public service provision from EU competition rules, or at least a proportional use of it.
Det har en meget stor betydning for de lokale myndigheder, eftersom de frygter, at deres udveksling af lokale sociale tjenesteydelser kan undersøges for overtrædelse af EU's lovgivning om udbud.
This has a pervasive effect on local authorities since they fear that local social services provision could be investigated for infringement of EU Procurement law.
Udvekslingen af lokale sociale tjenesteydelser bør ikke vurderes i lyset af deres »økonomiske« eller »ikke-økonomiske« karakter, eftersom deres reelle værdi for samfundet bør gå forud for andre overvejelser såsom konkurrencehensyn.
The provision of local social services should not be seen in terms of their ‘economic’ or ‘non-economic’ nature, as their intrinsic value for the community should override other considerations, such as competition issues.
For at sikre beskyttelsen af de mest udsatte medlemmer af lokalsamfundet ville det i stedet være at foretrække at skelne ud fra omfanget af de udvekslede tjenesteydelser, således at lokalt udvekslede sociale tjenesteydelser fritages fra bestemmelserne om EU's indre marked og lovgivning om udbud.
Instead, it would be much more useful, in order to safeguard protection of the most disadvantaged members of local communities, to use a distinction based on the scale of the service provided, whereby locally-provided social services are exempt from the EU internal market and procurement rules.
Kan Kommissionen klargøre sit nuværende syn på udvekslingen af lokale tjenesteydelser og de næste skridt, som den vil tage i den henseende?
Could the Commission clarify its current thinking on local social services provision and the next steps it aims to take on this?

Kan Kommissionen endvidere bekræfte, at interne komponenter såsom elektroniske kredsløbsplader og mikrochips ikke er underkastet nogen af betingelserne i direktiv 2002/­96/­EF, før de er installeret i et færdigt produkt, og at disse komponenter først er omfattet af betydningen »WEEE« i artikel 3, litra b), i direktiv 2002/­96/­EF, som en del af det færdige produkt, når dette bortskaffes?
Can the Commission also confirm that internal components such as circuit boards and microchips are not subject to any of the requirements of Directive 2002/96/EC until they have been incorporated into a final product, at which time such components become ‘WEEE’ as part of the final product at the time of discarding, within the meaning of Article 3(b) of Directive 2002/96/EC?

Subject: Disproportionate influence of industry on the preparation of EU policy due to the composition of expert groups and their lack of transparency
Er Kommissionen bekendt med den rapport, der blev offentliggjort af Alter-EU, Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation in the European Union, den 25. marts 2008 om sammensætningen af de ekspertgrupper, der rådgiver Kommissionen og dens administrationsapparat?
Is the Commission aware of the report published by Alter‑EU, Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation in the European Union, on 25 March 2008 concerning the composition of the expert groups which advise the Commission and its administrative apparatus?
Kan Kommissionen bekræfte, at GD Forskning i maj 2007 nægtede at give Alter-EU skriftlige oplysninger om aktuelle projekter med den begrundelse, at de angiveligt var fortrolige, idet man oplyste, at listerne over medlemmer af ekspertgrupperne måtte forblive hemmelige, og at det i juli frigav de dokumenter, der ikke skulle behandles som fortrolige for at beskytte kommercielle interesser?
Can the Commission confirm that in May 2007 its DG Research refused to provide Alter‑EU with information in writing concerning current projects, alleging that they were confidential and stating that the membership lists of the expert groups must also be kept secret, and that in July it released those documents which were not to be treated as confidential in order to protect commercial interests?
Hvordan forholder Kommissionen sig til konklusionen om, at erhvervslivet eller berørte sektorer som følge af brugen af eksperter med forbindelser til industrien kan få stor indflydelse på de politikker, som det er Kommissionens opgave at udforme, og at denne indflydelse kan gå ud over andre samfundsinteresser såsom miljø, folkesundhed, arbejdsvilkår eller sikkerhed?
What view does the Commission take of the conclusion that, as a result of its use of specialists with links to industry, the businesses or sectors concerned can acquire excessive influence over the policies which it is the Commission's task to formulate, and that this influence can be at the expense of other interests in society, such as the environment, public health, working conditions or safety?
Er Kommissionen enig i anbefalingen om, at sammensætningen af ekspertgrupperne bør være åben og offentlig, og at det skal være kendt, hvilken baggrund medlemmerne har, og hvilke interesser de repræsenterer — f.eks. industrivirksomheders interesser?
Does the Commission agree with the recommendation that the composition of expert groups should be transparent and public, and that it should be known from what background the members come and what interests — e.g. those of industrial undertakings — they represent?

Will it establish clear frameworks for a balanced composition of these expert groups and impose a limit in percentage terms on the number of representatives of trade, industry, other commercial interests or special interest groups which have a particular eye for impacts on short-term profits?
Vil Kommissionen gøre procedurerne for udpegning og sammensætning af ekspertgrupper og dens generaldirektoraters rolle heri gennemsigtige?

Om: Sea Diamonds forlis ved Santorini
Subject: Shipwreck of the Sea Diamond at Santorini
Den 5. april 2008 er der gået et år siden Sea Diamonds forlis i Calderabugten på øen Santorini.
On 5 April 2008, it will be one year since the Sea Diamond sank within the Santorini caldera.
Den græske statssekretær for handelsflåden, Kammenos, har for nylig beskrevet forliset over for det græske parlament som en »miljøbombe på bunden af havet ved Santorini«.
The Deputy Minister of Mercantile Marine, Mr Kammenos, has recently described the shipwreck to the Hellenic Parliament as ‘an ecological bomb on the Santorini seabed’.
Ud over det alvorlige spørgsmål om oppumpning af brændstof vurderer forskerne på instituttet for hav- og miljøforskning i Ægæerhavet (»Archipelagos«), at de kemikalier, der blev brugt i fartøjets rørsystemer, og visse stoffer i udstyret kan skabe alvorlige problemer.
In addition to the serious issue of pumping out oil, scientists at the Institute of Marine and Environmental Research of the Aegean Sea (‘Archipelagos’) say that serious problems are posed by chemicals used in the ship's piping systems and substances contained in the ship's equipment.
Mere konkret set indeholder det forliste fartøjs kølesystem store mængder kølevæske med chlorfluorcarboner, der er giftige stoffer, som forårsager skader på nervesystemet og er med til at nedbryde ozonlaget, og hydraulikolier, der både findes inden for og uden for nettene, og som alt efter olietype enten hører til de forurenende stoffer eller de giftige stoffer.
In particular, the wreck's refrigeration system contains large quantities of refrigerants containing chlorofluorocarbons, which are classified as toxic, harmful to the nervous system and damaging to the ozone layer, as well as hydraulic oils inside and outside the piping system which, depending on the type of oil, range from pollutant to toxic.
Hertil kommer det elektriske udstyr samt fjernsyns- og computerskærme, der indeholder adskillige giftige stoffer.
There is also electronic equipment, television and computer screens, which contain a multitude of toxic substances.
Endelig indeholder skibsvraget også andre giftige materialer, såsom asbestfibre, brandhæmmende materialer, tungmetaller, kemiske rengøringsmidler, elektrolytter, rustbeskyttelsesmidler osv.
Finally, other toxic material is also to be found aboard the wreck, such as asbestos fibres, fire retardants, heavy metals, chemical cleaning products, electrolytes, anticorrosives, etc.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at disse giftige stoffer foruden brændstofferne udgør en alvorlig trussel for bugtens marine økosystem?
Does the Commission consider that the continued presence of such toxic substances, in addition to the fuel, represents a serious threat to the marine ecosystem of the gulf?
