Om: Kontrol ved den tysk-tjekkiske grænse
Subject: Checks at the German-Czech border
I Den Tjekkiske Republik står statslige organer, lokale og regionale myndigheder, medlemmer af deputeretkammeret og senatet samt tjekkiske medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet alle over for en stigende bølge af klager fra tjekkiske borgere, som på deres rejser til Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland har været udsat for ubegrundede og ofte ydmygende kontroller og undersøgelser fra de tyske myndigheders side, ikke kun tæt på grænsen, men også et stykke derfra.
In the Czech Republic, State bodies, local and regional authorities, Members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate and also Czech MEPs are all facing a rising tide of complaints from Czech citizens who on their journeys to the Federal Republic of Germany have been subjected to unwarranted and often humiliating checks and inspections by the German authorities not just close to, but also some distance away from, the border.
Disse foranstaltninger, som udføres hyppigt og med stor ildhu af det tyske politi og de tyske toldmyndigheder, har en meget dårlig indvirkning ikke kun på de tjekkisk-tyske forbindelser, men også og frem for alt på de tjekkiske borgeres holdning til europæisk integration, eftersom tjekkerne blev garanteret fri bevægelighed uden kontroller i hele EU, efter at Den Tjekkiske Republik tilsluttede sig Schengeninformationssystemet den 21. december 2007.
These measures, carried out very frequently and with notable zeal by German police and customs officials, have a very negative impact not only on Czech-German relations but also and above all on Czech citizens' attitudes to European integration, since Czechs were guaranteed freedom of movement without controls across the EU after the Czech Republic joined the Schengen information system on 21 December 2007.
Finder Kommissionen ikke, at den beskrevne situation overtræder de almindelige principper, som er gældende for EU, navnlig hvad angår fri bevægelighed for personer inden for EU? 3.
Does the Commission not consider that the state of affairs described violates the general principles by which the European Union operates, in particular with regard to the free movement of people on EU territory?

Om: Opkrævning af bilafgifter i Unionen
Subject: Collection of vehicle tax in the EU
Kommissionen bedes redegøre for den gældende lovgivning vedrørende opkrævning af bilafgifter i Unionen.
What legislation applies to the collection of vehicle tax in the EU?
Såfremt det kan konstateres, at en given medlemsstat har opkrævet bilafgift af en borger i Unionen på et forkert grundlag, hvilke muligheder har den pågældende borger da for at kræve afgiften tilbage fra staten?
If it can be established that a Member State has collected vehicle tax from a citizen wrongfully, what can the citizen in question do to claim the tax back?
Skal et sådant krav gøres gældende overfor de nationale skattemyndigheder inden for en bestemt frist?
Do the national tax authorities have to make such repayments within a certain time?
Endelig bedes Kommissionen oplyse, hvorledes medlemsstaten, der har foretaget en bilafgiftsopkrævning på forkert baggrund, skal offentliggøre dette.
How does the Member State in question have to publish the fact that vehicle tax has been collected wrongfully?
Er det således tilstrækkeligt at publicere en sådan meddelelse på den pågældende skattemyndigheds egen hjemmeside, eller kan der stilles krav om, at de berørte borgere skal underrettes?
Is it enough for a notification to be published on the relevant tax authorities’ own website, or does the citizen in question have to be informed?
Svar afgivet på Kommissionens vegne af Algirdas Šemeta
Answer given by Mr Šemeta on behalf of the Commission
Kommissionen kan oplyse det ærede medlem om, at der aktuelt ikke foreligger EU‑lovgivning vedrørende tilbagebetaling af afgifter, som en medlemsstat uberettiget har opkrævet fra en borger.
The Commission would inform the Honourable Member that at present there are no EU rules governing the reimbursement of tax which has been incorrectly collected by Member States from any citizen.
I den forbindelse følger det af Domstolens faste praksis, at de berørte personers rettigheder skal beskyttes og håndhæves efter procedurerne i national ret.
In this context the Court of Justice has consistently ruled that the rights for the persons concerned should be safeguarded and enforced according to procedures established by national law.
Hvis det følgelig i sager, der vedrører nationale eller EU‑retlige problemstillinger, er fastlagt i national ret, at beløb, der er uberettiget opkrævet, kan kræves tilbagebetalt ved hjælp af et søgsmål for de nationale retsinstanser, skal sådanne regler ikke desto mindre være i overensstemmelse med effektivitetsprincippet.
Consequently, if national law provides that, in cases involving domestic or EC law issues, the incorrectly collected sums may be recovered by bringing an action before the national courts, such rules must nevertheless comply with the principle of effectiveness.
Med hensyn til tidsfrister henhører disse igen — i mangel af fælles EU‑lovgivning — under hver enkelt medlemsstats interne retsorden.
With regard to time limits, again, in the absence of common EU rules it is a matter for the national legal system of each Member State.
Tidsfristerne skal dog altid være rimelige og finde anvendelse uden forskel på alle søgsmål til prøvelse af tilsidesættelsen af EU‑retten eller national ret Domstolens dom af 15.9.1998, sag C-260/96, Spac, Sml.
Any time limits must, nevertheless, be reasonable and, apply without distinction to any action alleging infringements of EC law or national law Judgment of the Court of 15 September 1998 in Case C‑260/96 Spac, ECR [1998], p.
I, s. 4997, præmis 18 og 20. .
I‑4997, points 18 and 20. .
Det tilkommer også medlemsstaterne at afgøre, hvordan offentligheden oplyses om uberettiget opkrævning af afgifter.
It is also up to the Member States to decide as to how information about incorrectly collected taxes is communicated to the public.
Offentliggørelsen i EU‑Tidende af afgørelser truffet af Domstolen og Retten i Første Instans bør anses for tilstrækkelig i denne sammenhæng.
Publication of the Rulings of the Court's of Justice in the Official Journal should be considered sufficient in this context.

Om: Modsætningsforhold mellem vandrammedirektivet og direktivet om vedvarende energikilder
Subject: Contradiction between the water framework directive and the directive on energy from renewable sources
Vandkraft er således den vigtigste vedvarende energikilde i EU.
According to these texts, water power is the European Union’s main renewable energy source.
At vedligeholde, modernisere og eventuelt udbygge den er af stor betydning for at nå klimamålene, men også for forsyningssikkerheden og for energiautonomien i regionerne.
Maintaining, modernising and, possibly, developing it is of the greatest importance not only for meeting climate targets, but also for security of supply and energy autonomy for the regions.
Vandrammedirektivets strenge regler står dog i vejen for energimålene.
However, the strict provisions of the water framework directive (WFD) run counter to the energy targets.
I sin nuværende form indebærer vandrammedirektivet et stort investeringsbehov for vandkraftværkerne og samtidig et stort energiproduktionstab.
In its present form the WFD means a high investment requirement coupled with a significant loss of energy production for hydro‑electric plants.
Mindre kraftværker vil således sågar være truet af lukning, eller opførelsen af nye anlæg bliver ekstremt begrænset.
Smaller power stations face the danger of having to close down completely, while the possibilities for new installations are severely limited.
Hvordan agter Kommissionen at løse dette modsætningsforhold i de lande, som i stigende grad satser på vandkraft for at nå klimamålene og føler sig indskrænket af vandrammedirektivet?
How does the Commission envisage resolving this contradiction in Member States that are using more water power in order to achieve climate targets and are finding their possibilities limited by the WFD?
Har Kommissionen mulighed for at lempe den efterfølgende certificering som HMWB i overensstemmelse med vandrammedirektivet for at forhindre en begrænsning af den eksisterende vandkraftkapacitet?
Is it possible for retroactive HMBW certification to be awarded by the Commission in accordance with the WFD in order to prevent a reduction of existing water power capacity?

According to media reports, in February 2010 the Conegliano branch of the Italian inspectorate for agricultural products and fraud prevention (ICQRF) confiscated a shipment of the ‘Rosecco’ brand of sparkling wine intended for the British retail firm Marks and Spencer.
Baggrunden herfor er navnet på virksomhedens egen mousserende vin »Rosecco Vino Spumante Brut Rosé«.

Om: Frihandelsaftale mellem EU og Andeslandene
Subject: Trade agreement between the EU and the Andean countries
I fortsættelse af min forespørgsel af 18. marts 2010 (E‑2015) med titlen EU's handelsaftale med Peru og Colombia, hvori jeg gav udtryk for min bekymring for sukkersektoren, vil jeg gerne påpege tilsvarende betænkeligheder med hensyn til ris.
Further to my question of 18 March 2010 (E‑2015) on the EU trade agreement with Peru and Colombia, in which I expressed misgivings on the subject of sugar, I would like to convey similar concerns in relation to rice.
Nærmere bestemt gælder alt det, der gælder for sukker, hvor Peru er nettoimportør, også for ris, eftersom landet er registreret som negativt i forbindelse med omtalte produkt.
In fact, all the points about sugar, of which Peru is a net importer, apply equally to rice, because the country does not meet its own rice needs.
Den høje kvotefordeling og den årlige procentvise stigning af den er derfor urimelig.
There is thus no justification for the high quota allocations or for annual quota increases.
Det vækker bekymring, at den omtalte aftale, som Kommissionen har forhandlet på plads, kan skabe præcedens for andre handelsaftaler, der er under forhandling.
It is worrying that this agreement, negotiated by the Commission, could set a precedent for other trade agreements that are in the pipeline.
Hvordan begrunder den de indrømmelser, den har indgået, når man tænker på rissektorens situation i omtalte lande?
How does the Commission justify the concessions made, given the state of the rice sector in these countries?
Har den taget tilstrækkeligt hensyn til følgerne for rissektoren i EU?
Has it taken the impact on the EU rice sector sufficiently into account?
Kommer aftalen til at indeholde nogen nettoeksportørklausul, sådan som det gælder for aftalen med USA, på basis af hvilken toldkontingentet sættes i forbindelse med den årlige indenlandske produktion?
Will it include a ‘net importer’ clause — as in the agreement with the USA — linking the tariff quota to annual domestic production levels?
Er der fastsat nogle defensive ordninger for import af frugt og grøntsager til EU (f.eks. toldkontingenter og indgangspriser)?
Are there plans for protective measures (e.g. tariff quotas or entry prices) for fruit and vegetable imports to the EU?

Om: Overdragelse af Kassandras miner
Subject: Sale of Cassandra Mines
Kommissionen har tidligere bedt det græske finansministerium om at forklare: —
The Commission once asked the Greek Ministry of the Economy to provide explanations on the following points: —
hvorfor Kassandras miner blev overdraget af ΤVΧ Ηellas til den græske stat for 11 mio EUR, —
Why were the Cassandra Mines sold by TVX Hellas to the Greek state for the price of EUR 11 million? —
hvorfor den græske stat selv samme dag solgte dem videre sammen med 70 andre aktiver til selskabet Hellas Gold for den samme pris på 11 mio. EUR, —
Why, on that same day, did the Greek state sell the mines, together with 70 other heritage assets, to the Ellinikos Xrysos company for the same price of EUR 11 million? —
hvorfor salgsprisen til Hellas Gold lå på 11 mio. EUR, når markedsprisen på minernes aktiver seks måneder senere var 408 mio. EUR, dvs. 37 (!) gange højere, —
Why was the sale price to Ellinikos Xrysos EUR 11 million when, six months later, the market value of the mining assets amounted to EUR 408 million, i.e. 37 (!) times higher? —
hvorfor der skete en overdragelse af minerne til købsselskabet uden forudgående offentligt udbud, sådan som det er fastsat for lignende tilfælde, —
Why were the mines sold to the purchasing company without a public invitation to tender, which is the usual procedure in all similar cases? —
hvorfor selskabet Hellas Gold ved overdragelsen af Kassandras miner blev fritaget for at betale overdragelsesskat eller nogen som helst anden skat, —
Why, when the Cassandra Mines were transferred, was it decided that the Ellinikos Xrysos company would be exempted from the requirement to pay conveyance duty or any other duty or tax? —
hvem der besluttede, at købsselskabet kun skulle betale formindskede udgifter til advokat- og notarsalærer.
Who decided that the purchasing company would pay reduced lawyers' and notaries' fees?
De til forskellige tider mellemliggende forklaringer er ikke blevet anset for tilstrækkelige, og Kommissionen er nået til den konklusion, at der er tale om ulovlig statsstøtte, og at salget af statslige aktiver til en pris, der ligger under markedsværdien, og oven i købet uden offentligt udbud og uden nogen vurdering fra en uafhængig vurderingsmand inden salget, er en alvorlig overtrædelse af fællesskabslovgivningen.
The explanations given were not satisfactory and the Commission concluded that it was illegal state aid and that the transfer of public heritage assets at a price below their market value, without a public tender and without any appraisal by an independent estimator before the sale, was a serious breach of Community law.
Kommissionen har endog erklæret, at den vil indbringe sagen for EF‑Domstolen Avisen To Vima (den 15. marts 2009), http://www.tovima.gr/default.asp?pid=2&ct=19&artId=259484. .

Subject: Suspension of co‑financed activities of Environmental Education Centres in Greece
Der har siden 1990'erne været miljøuddannelsescentre (KPE) i alle regioner i Grækenland, og de henvender sig til elever i grund- og mellemskolen.
Environmental Education Centres (EEC) have been operating in all regions of Greece since the 1990s and are aimed at primary and secondary school pupils.
Med sine aktiviteter og indlæg har de været en løftestang for udvikling og fremme af miljøundervisning i hele landet.
Through their measures and action they have been a lever for development and for promoting environmental education throughout the country.
Denne udvikling falder sammen med konjunkturer, hvor miljøuddannelser anses for mere nødvendige end nogensinde, set i lyset af klimaændringerne og diskussionerne om at vende sig mod grøn økonomi http://www.haniotika-nea.gr/index.php?artid=44331. .
