Disse pilot -havne skal derefter tjene som forsøg med henblik på udarbejdelse af en mere langsigtet omfattende ramme for samarbejdet mellem EU og De Forenede Stater på sikkerhedsområdet.
These pilot ports shall then serve as experiments to allow the establishment of a longer-term comprehensive Community/United States co-operation framework on security.
Kommissionen har forsøgt at føre denne målsætning ud i livet i samarbejde med de amerikanske myndigheder på forskellige møder mellem Kommissionen og embedsmænd fra det amerikanske toldvæsen.
The Commission has pursued this objective with the United States' authorities in various meetings between the Commission and American Customs officials.
Begge sider anerkender betydningen af et samarbejde både med det formål at skabe bedre sikkerhed og at lette den lovlige samhandel.
Both sides recognise the importance of co-operation to ensure both better security and facilitation of legitimate trade.
Under drøftelserne blev der fremhævet en række vigtige principper for det fremtidige samarbejde, navnlig gensidighed og fælles standarder for udvælgelse og effektivisering af kontrollen med det formål at øge sikkerheden og samtidig lette den lovlige samhandel.
In the discussion a number of major principles for future co-operation were stressed, most particularly reciprocity, common standards for the selection and performance of controls to increase security and at the same time facilitation for legitimate trade.
Håbet er, at disse drøftelser i nær fremtid vil føre til en fælles imødekommelse af disse sikkerhedsmæssige betænkeligheder.
It is hoped that these discussions will, in the near future, lead to a commonly agreed response to these security concerns.

Om: Bjørneavl med henblik på udnyttelse af bjørnenes galde i Kina
Subject: Bear bile farming in China
Kommissionen bedes oplyse, hvordan den udnytter sin indflydelse og bistår den kinesiske regering, så der bliver sat en stopper for den grusomme bjørneavlspraksis med henblik på udnyttelse af bjørnenes galde?
Would the Commission inform me as to what influence and assistance the Commission is offering the Chinese Government in order to stop the cruel practice of farming bears for their bile?
Der er i Kina tradition for at anvende bjørnegalde til medicinsk formål.
China has traditionally used bear bile for medical purposes.
Kommerciel bjørneopdræt har været anvendt siden 1980'erne for at få galde til traditionel kinesisk medicin.
Since the 1980's commercial bear farming has been used to obtain bile for traditional Chinese medicines.
Kommissionen er klar over, at denne form for bjørneopdræt opstod af frygt for, at de vilde bjørne, som blev slået ihjel på grund af galden, ellers ville uddø.
The Commission is aware that this practice arose because of increasing conservation concerns about the killing of wild bears for this purpose.
Kommissionen deler dog det ærede medlems bekymring over den betydning, en sådan praksis har for dyrevelfærden.
Nevertheless, the Commission also shares the Honourable Member's concern over the possible implications of such a practice for animal welfare.
EU har nogle af de højeste standarder for dyrevelfærd i verden, og offentligheden er meget opmærksom på dyrevelfærd.
The Union has one of the highest animal welfare standards in the world and public awareness regarding animal welfare is high.
Der er desuden vedtaget en række love inden for mange forskellige områder, der har betydning for dyrevelfærden.
Furthermore, a comprehensive set of legislation has been adopted that covers a wide range of issues relating to animal well being.
Kommissionen ønsker med sin politik at øge beskyttelsen af og respekten for dyr som følsomme væsener både i EU og internationalt, da det er dens opfattelse, at gode dyrevelfærdsstandarder skal sikres globalt.
The Commission's policies promote the improved protection and respect for the welfare of animals as sentient beings, both internally and internationally, since it is of the opinion that high animal welfare standards must be ensured globally.
EU vil fortsat gøre en aktiv indsats for at fremme forhandlingerne om dyrevelfærd og indgår i et internationalt samarbejde, der har til formål at forbedre dyrevelfærdspolitikken verden over.
The Community will continue to actively pursue substantive negotiations on animal welfare and is co-operating at the international level in order to improve animal welfare policies world-wide.
EU forsøger derfor at udvikle høje multilaterale standarder inden for rammerne af internationale konventioner, hovedsageligt inden for rammerne af Europarådet og Det Internationale Kontor for Epizootier (OIE).
To do so, it seeks to develop high multilateral standards within the framework of specific international conventions, mainly within the framework of the Council of Europe and the World Organisation for Animal Health.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3509/02
Om: Fjernelse af muligheden for grænseoverskridende postforsendelse pr. efterkrav i forbindelse med småhandel og mellemhandel
Subject: Abolition of the arrangement whereby small-scale, occasional trading can be carried out on a cross-border basis using the cash-on-delivery system
Er Kommissionen bekendt med, at muligheden for forsendelse pr. efterkrav, dvs. forsendelse af en pakke med postvæsenet til en modtager, der må betale ved modtagelsen, hvorefter det af modtageren betalte beløb udbetales til afsenderen pr. postanvisning, hidtil har været til stede på tværs af grænserne, men af den nederlandske posttjeneste Koninklijke TPG Post BV afskaffes pr. 1. januar 2003 for forsendelser til udlandet?
Is the Commission aware that the cash-on-delivery system, under which packages are sent through the post to a firm or individual who must pay the cost of the items concerned on receipt of the package, with the sum in question being transferred to the sender by means of a postal order, has hitherto been available on a cross-border basis, but that the Netherlands firm Koninkliijke TPG Post BV (Netherlands Post Office) is abolishing cross-border dispatches as from 1 January 2003?
Er småhandel og mellemhandel pr. post over de indre grænser fremover nu kun mulig for dem, der råder over elektroniske betalingsmuligheder eller et kreditkort?
From now on, will small-scale occasional trading through the post across the EU's internal borders be available only to those who can use electronic payment systems or a credit card?
Eller ser Kommissionen andre alternativer for internationale transaktioner inden for EU, der kan benyttes af alle?
Or does the Commission perhaps see universally available alternative for international transactions within the EU?
Er afskaffelsen af denne mulighed for grænseoverskridende småhandel i overensstemmelse med princippet om samme hastighed i bestræbelserne på at sikre europæisk integration?
Is this abolition of the arrangement whereby many people carry out small-scale, cross-border trading on the basis of the fair exchange principle consistent with the efforts to achieve European integration?
Hvad er forskellen til de nationale efterkravsforsendelser, der i modsætning til de grænseoverskridende, fortsat er mulige?
How does this arrangement differ from the national cash-on-delivery system, which is not to be abolished?
Opvejer argumenterne for afskaffelsen — procedurens arbejdsintensive karakter og ekstraudgifter for kunderne — efter Kommissionens mening ulemperne for kunderne, navnlig samlere og handlende i brugte ting?
In the Commission's view, do the arguments in favour of abolition, such as the labour-intensive nature of the procedure and extra costs for customers, outweigh the drawbacks, in particular for collectors and second-hand goods traders?
Er der ud over Nederlandene andre medlemsstater, hvorfra international forsendelse pr. efterkrav ligeledes ikke vil være mulig fra 2003?
In addition to the Netherlands, are there other EU Member States from which, in 2003, it will likewise no longer be possible to dispatch packages to other countries on a cash-on-delivery basis?
Hvilke muligheder har Kommissionen for at sikre, at denne forsendelses- og betalingsmåde mellem medlemsstaterne bevares fremover?
What measures can the Commission take to ensure that this arrangement continues to be available in the EU Member States in coming years?
Har den til hensigt at gøre brug af disse muligheder?
Does it plan to implement those measures?

(30 January 2003)
En af hovedmålsætningerne i direktiv 97/67/EC Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 97/67/EF af 15. december 1997 om fælles regler for udvikling af Fællesskabets indre marked for posttjenester og forbedring af disse tjenesters kvalitet, EFT L 15 af 21.1.1998 . er harmoniseringen af befordringspligten i EU.
One of the main objectives of the Directive 97/67/EC Directive 97/67/EC of the Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 1997 on common rules for the development of the internal market of Community postal services and the improvement of quality of service, OJ L 15, 21.1.1998 . is the harmonisation of the European universal postal service.
I postdirektivet har Parlamentet og Rådet for alle medlemsstater fastlagt de tjenester, der skal udbydes, og de minimumskrav, som skal opfyldes.
In the Postal Directive, the Parliament and the Council have defined the number of services, and the minimum requirements, that must be ensured by all Member States.
Befordringspligten i henhold til dette direktiv omfatter breve indtil to kg, pakker indtil 10 eller 20 kg, tjenester i forbindelse med anbefalede og forsikrede forsendelser mv., men omfatter ikke specifikt postforsendelser pr. efterkrav.
The universal postal service according to this Directive includes letters up to two kilos, parcels up to 10 or 20 kilos, services for registered and insured items, etc, but does not include cash-on-delivery services specifically.
Postdirektivet er et rammedirektiv og giver medlemsstaterne mulighed for at inkludere yderligere tjenester i den nationale befordringspligt.
The Postal Directive is a framework Directive and gives Member States the opportunity to include additional services as part of the national universal service.
Det er imidlertid vor opfattelse, at Nederlandene ikke har udvidet deres befordringspligt til at omfatte efterkravsforsendelser.
However, it is our understanding that the Netherlands has not extended the scope of the universal service to include cash-on-delivery services.
Det samme gør sig gældende for andre medlemsstater, mens andre igen har integreret denne tjeneste i den nationale befordringspligt.
The same decision has been made by some other Member States, whilst others have included this service as part of the national universal service.
I henhold til Verdenspostforeningen (UPU) kan medlemmer af foreningen inkludere efterkravsforsendelser på frivillig basis.
Furthermore, according to the Universal Postal Union (UPU), Convention and Agreements, cash-on-delivery services can be introduced by the members of the UPU on a voluntary basis.
Der er således ingen internationale aftaler, som forpligter Nederlandene til at tilbyde denne tjeneste.
The Netherlands, therefore, is not under an international law obligation to ensure this service is provided.
På denne baggrund har Kommissionen derfor ikke nogen lovhjemmel til på nuværende tidspunkt at kræve, at den nederlandske befordringspligtige virksomhed skal tilbyde en tjeneste som efterkravsforsendelser.
In light of the above, the Commission does not see any legal basis that could permit the Commission, as of today, to request that the Dutch universal service provider continues to provide a cross-border cash-on-delivery service.
Endelig mener Kommissionen ikke, at der ud fra erfaringerne hermed i medlemsstaterne og i betragtning af indførelsen af alternative betalingsmåder i de senere år er behov for at udvide den i postdirektivet omhandlede befordringspligt til at omfatte efterkravsforsendelser.
Finally, the Commission would not consider that there is a need to redefine the universal services included in the Postal Directive to include cash-on-delivery services, based on the experience in this respect in Member States and on the development of alternative payment solutions in recent years.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3522/02
Om: Tv-rettighederne til Champions League — konflikten mellem nyhedsformidling og ophavsrettigheder
Subject: Television rights relating to Champions League matches — dispute as to what constitutes news gathering and what is covered by copyright
Den form, UEFA har valgt for salget af sine tv-rettigheder til en national partner, er for nylig erklæret ulovlig af Kommissionen.
The European Commission recently decided that the manner in which UEFA sold its television rights to football matches to just one national broadcaster was unlawful.
Tv-reportagerne kan nu sendes af flere stationer, hvor transmissionsrettighederne for de enkelte lande tidligere tilhørte en enkelt tv-station.
While matches might be broadcast by several TV stations, broadcasting rights for each country were actually held by just one TV station.
For nylig blev Belgien konfronteret med en ny udgave af problematikken.
Belgium was recently faced by a variation on this theme.
Under fodboldklubben Racing Genks hjemmekampe i Champions League ville den regionale tv-station TV Limburg optage stemningsbilleder (ingen billeder fra selve kampene!) før, under og efter kampene — også på (!) stadion.
The regional TV station — TV Limburg — wanted to film not the action on the pitch but what was going on in the stadium before, during and after Racing Genk FC's home matches in the Champions League.
Den offentlige flamske radio- og tv-station VRT og UEFA-officials nægtede imidlertid TV Limburg adgang til stadion.
However, the Flemish public TV station VRT and UEFA officials refused TV Limburg access to the stadium.
Herpå lagde TV Limburg sag an og fik ret ved første instans.
TV Limburg immediately applied to the courts and won at first instance.
Denne retsafgørelse ser ud til at undergrave alle aftaler, som UEFA har indgået med tv-stationer om alle Champions League-kampe og vil muligvis kunne danne præcedens.
That ruling would appear to undermine all the agreements that UEFA has concluded with TV stations for all Champions League matches and may well set a precedent.
Da TV Limburg med stor regelmæssighed beretter om alt, hvad der sker i denne klub (både sportsligt og ikke-sportsligt), gik den lokale tv-station ikke videre med sagen.
Since TV Limburg regularly broadcasts news about what is happening on and off the field at Racing Genk, it did not take the action any further.
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, om regionale tv-stationer under henvisning til den frie nyhedsformidling virkelig frit kan gøre dette, uanset om begivenheden er ophavsretligt beskyttet eller ej?
Can the Commission indicate whether, by claiming the right to free news gathering, regional TV stations are actually at liberty to do this, despite the fact that the event may be protected by copyright?
Bør en lokal domstol i en sag som denne rette sig efter EU-bestemmelserne i forbindelse med løsningen af konflikten?
Should a local court act in accordance with European law whenever the settlement of this dispute is involved?
Deler Kommissionen den opfattelse, at ophavsrettighederne som de administreres af UEFA udnyttes monopolistisk?
Does the Commission share my view that copyright as administered by UEFA is being exploited in a monopolistic manner?
Finder Kommissionen det ønskværdigt, at denne sport, som udøves af den brede befolkning, i virkeligheden hører fuldstændig ind under en privat interesseorganisation som UEFA?
Does the Commission deem it desirable that this sport, which is so popular with the masses, should actually belong completely to a private interest group such as UEFA?
Erkender den med andre ord, at vi her har med en engangsbegivenhed af så stort og i den grad enestående omfang at gøre, at der kan tales om nyheder, i hvert fald når den pågældende station med stor regelmæssighed rapporterer om de pågældende aktører?
In other words, does it agree that the unique nature and the scale of this event are such that what is involved here is news, all the more so since the TV station in question regularly reports about the activities of the people concerned?
(29. januar 2003)
(29 January 2003)
Kommissionen har ikke været part i den retssag, som det ærede medlem nævner, og finder ikke anledning til at tage formel stilling til denne afgørelse.
The Commission has not been a party to the Court proceedings mentioned by the Honourable Member and has no grounds to take a formal position on this decision.
Kommissionen har heller ikke noget grundlag for at forudsige udfaldet af en retssag ved en højere domstol eller europæiske domstole.
The Commission has no grounds either to predict the possible outcome of litigation before higher or European courts.
Mediefrihed og mediernes pluralisme respekteres.
The freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected. .
I arbejdsprogrammet, som er bilag til Kommissionens fjerde rapport om anvendelsen af direktivet om fjernsyn uden grænser Fjerde rapport om anvendelsen af direktiv 89/552/EØF fjernsyn uden grænser , KOM(2002) 778 endelig udg., http://europa.eu.int/comm/avpolicy/regul/twf/applica/comm2002_778final_en.pdf , har Kommissionen bekendtgjort, at den har til hensigt at overveje, om der er grund til i fremtiden at indføre bestemmelser om adgang til korte uddrag fra arrangementer, for hvilke der findes enerettigheder.
In the Work Program annexed to the Commission's Fourth Application Report on the Directive Television without Frontiers Fourth Report on the Application of Directive 89/552/EEC Television without Frontiers , COM(2002) 778 final, http://europa.eu.int/comm/avpolicy/regul/twf/applica/comm2002_778final_en.pdf. , the Commission has announced its intention to reflect on the question of whether there are grounds for introducing, in future, provisions on access to short extracts of events subject to exclusive rights.
Med tanke på de interesser, der er på spil (arrangører, rettighedsindehavere, agenturer, tv-stationer, offentligheden), og under hensyntagen til at visse medlemsstater allerede har vedtaget specifikke bestemmelser om emnet, vil spørgsmålet blive behandlet med henblik på at analysere, om det skaber hindringer for det indre marked, at der ikke findes fællesskabsbestemmelser.
Bearing in mind the interests at stake (event organisers, rights holders, agencies, television broadcasting bodies, the public) and taking into account the fact that some Member States have already adopted specific provisions on the subject, this question will be adressed with a view to analysing whether the absence of Community provisions creates obstacles to the internal market.
Ja, hvis det er relevant.
Yes, where applicable.
Kommissionen har indledt procedurer i henhold til forordning nr. 17 med henblik på at undersøge, i hvilket omfang sammenslutningen af europæiske fodboldforbunds (UEFA) ordninger vedrørende fælles salg af tv-rettighederne til UEFA's Champions League EFT C 196 af 17.8.2002 . medfører en begrænsning af konkurrencen i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 81, stk. 2, og kan gøres til genstand for en undtagelse i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 81, stk. 3.
The Commission opened proceedings under Regulation No 17 in order to investigate to what extent Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) arrangements for the joint selling of the TV rights to the UEFA Champions League OJ C 196, 17.8.2002 . entail a restriction of competition within the meaning of Article 81(2) of the EC Treaty and may benefit from an exemption under Article 81(3) of the EC Treaty.
Domstolen har ved flere lejligheder afgjort, at sport, hvad angår det økonomiske aspekt, er underlagt fællesskabslovgivningen, men har samtidig anerkendt visse særlige forhold i sektoren.
The Court of Justice has ruled on several occasions that sport, in its economic aspect is, subject to Community law, but at the same time recognised certain special characteristics of the sector.
Erklæringen om sports særlige karakter, som blev vedtaget af Det Europæiske Råd i Nice (7.-9. december 2002) understreger behovet for i forbindelse med alle Fællesskabets foranstaltninger at tage hensyn til sportens sociale, uddannelsesmæssige og kulturelle funktioner, der udgør dens særlige kendetegn, for at respektere og fremme den etik og den solidaritet, der er nødvendig for at bevare sportens sociale rolle .
The declaration on the specificity of sport adopted by the European Council in Nice (7 to 9 December 2000) stresses the need to take account, in all action by the Community, of the social, educational and cultural functions inherent in sport and making it special, in order that the code of ethics and the solidarity essential to the preservation of its social role may be respected and nurtured .
Kommissionen mente, at UEFA's standardaftale om tv-rettigheder til UEFA's Champions League på grund af varigheden og omfanget begrænsede konkurrencen og derfor i sin oprindelige form ikke kunne gøres til genstand for en undtagelse.
The Commission found UEFA's standard broadcasting rights agreement for the UEFA Champions League, because of its duration and its scope, to be a restriction of competition and could not benefit from an exemption in its initial form.
Dette fik UEFA til at ændre sin politik.
This made UEFA change its policy.
Fra og med fodboldsæsonen 2003/2004 vil UEFA sælge rettighederne i flere pakker og for kortere perioder, og de enkelte fodboldklubber vil også kunne udnytte nogle af rettighederne i forholdet til deres tilhængere.
As from the 2003/2004 football season, UEFA will sell the rights in several packages for shorter periods of time, and individual football clubs will also be able to exploit some of the rights with their fan base.
Dette forslag til en ordning indeholder dog ikke specifikke ordninger vedrørende adgang til nyhedsformidling, da dette specifikke emne i de fleste tilfælde er underlagt de nationale regler om fri adgang til nyhedsformidling, som er nævnt ovenfor.
This settlement proposal does not, however, contain specific arrangements for news access, since this specific issue is in most cases regulated by national rules on free news gathering mentioned above.
På baggrund af dette forslag til en ordning offentliggjorde Kommissionen en meddelelse i henhold til artikel 19, stk. 3, i forordning nr. 17, hvori man opfordrer tredjeparter til at indsende deres kommentarer og anfører, at Kommissionen har til hensigt at godkende de ændrede ordninger.
In the light of this settlement proposal, the Commission published a Notice pursuant to article 19(3) of Regulation No 17 inviting third parties to submit their comments and indicating the Commission's intention to give its approval to the modified arrangements.
Kommissionen er ved at undersøge de kommentarer, som tredjeparter har indsendt.
The comments received from third parties are currently being investigated by the Commission.
EF-traktaten berører ikke på nogen måde medlemsstaternes regler vedrørende ejendomsretlige ordninger (EF-traktatens artikel 295).
The EC Treaty does not in any way prejudice the rules in Member States governing the system of property ownership (Article 295 of the EC Treaty).
Kampe, som er gjort til genstand for enerettigheder, kan have forskellige rettighedsindehavere alt afhængig af den pågældende nationale lovgivning og forholdene (UEFA, den internationale sammenslutning af fodboldforbund (FIFA), nationale organisationer/de deltagende klubber osv.).
Matches subject to exclusive rights may have different right holders according to the respective national law and depending on the circumstances (UEFA, International Organisation of Football Associations (FIFA), national organisations/the participating clubs, etc.).
