Om: Respekt for multilingvisme — EPSO's website
Subject: Observance of multilingualism — EPSO website
Kan Kommissionen derfor forklare, af hvilke årsager oplysningerne på EPSO's (De Europæiske Fællesskabers Personaleudvælgelseskontor) website kun er tilgængelige på engelsk, fransk og tysk? 2.
Could the Commission explain why the material presented on the EPSO (European Communities Personnel Selection Office) website can be read in English, French, and German only? 2.
Finder Kommissionen ikke — eftersom den enkelte EU-borger har ret til at modtage oplysninger på sit eget sprog — at denne situation er en diskrimination af millioner af borgere? 3.
Given that every Union citizen has the right to be informed in his or her own language, does the Commission not think that the situation described above is tantamount to discrimination against millions of citizens? 3.
Hvad agter Kommissionen at gøre for at afhjælpe denne situation?
What will the Commission do to put matters right?
Som det ærede medlem vil vide, blev Det Europæiske Personaleudvælgelseskontor (EPSO) formelt oprettet den 26. juli 2002 som led i reformprocessen og ved en aftale mellem institutionerne.
As the Honourable Member will be aware, the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) was formally created, as part of the Reform process and by the agreement of all Institutions, on 26 July 2002.
EPSO er et interinstitutionelt organ, hvis kommissorium er at udvælge tjenestemænd og andre ansatte ved De Europæiske Fællesskaber på vegne af alle EU-institutionerne.
EPSO is an inter-institutional body whose remit is to select officials and other servants of the European Communities on behalf of all European institutions.
Da det ærede medlems spørgsmål falder ind under EPSO's ansvarsområde, er følgende oplysninger udtryk for den rådgivning, EPSO har leveret.
As the matters raised by the Honourable Member fall within EPSO's area of responsibility, the following information reflects the advice provided by EPSO.
EPSO's officielle netsted blev oprettet den 20. november 2002 og er en nyttig informationskilde for eventuelle ansøgere til EU-udvælgelsesprøver.
The official EPSO website was launched on 20 November 2002 and is a useful source of information for potential candidates for Union competitions.
Forgængeren til det nuværende nedsted var på to sprog, mens det nye netsteds forsider er på engelsk, tysk og fransk.
While the pre-cursor to the current website was presented in two languages, the covering pages of the new site are presented in English, French and German.
Der er tale om en slags kvikskranke, som giver så mange som muligt hurtigst mulig adgang til de seneste oplysninger.
It is a quick reference facility which makes the latest information available to the widest possible audience with minimum delay.
Det ville ikke være teknisk muligt at bevare denne hurtige og umiddelbare adgang til alle nuværende 11 (eller fremtidige 20) officielle EU-sprog.
It would be technically impossible to preserve this speed and spontaneity in the current 11 (or the future 20) official languages of the EU languages.
De fleste standardoplysninger formidles dog via link til officielle dokumenter og publikationer, f.eks. EU's personalevedtægt og EU-Tidende, og til andre netsteder, bl.a. EU-institutionernes og -organernes generelle netsteder.
However, most standard information is provided through links to official documents and publications, such as the Union Staff Regulations and the Official Journal, and to other websites, including the main websites of the European institutions and bodies.
Netudgaven af EPSO's ansættelsesbrochure forelå på netstedet på 11 sprog.
The web version of the EPSO recruitment brochure was available on the site in 11 languages.
Dokumentet er midlertidig trukket tilbage for at blive ajourført, men vil snarest muligt være tilgængelig igen på 20 sprog.
This document has been temporarily withdrawn for updating but will be re-instated, as soon as possible, in 20 languages.
Der er intet, der tyder på, at der er større grupper af EU-borgere, der ikke har adgang til EPSO's netsted.
There is no evidence to suggest that the EPSO website is inaccessible to large groups of Union citizens.
Tværtimod havde netstedet ca. 2 000 000 besøgende de første ti dage.
On the contrary, the site received some 2 000 000 hits in its first 10 days.
Trods de mange besøgende på netstedet hver dag har EPSO i de ti måneder, det hidtil har eksisteret, kun modtaget få — om overhovedet nogen — klager over sprogdækningen.
Notwithstanding the very considerable number of visitors to the site each day, during the 10-month period that the site has been operational EPSO has received few, if any, complaints regarding the language coverage.
Der er desuden heller ikke observeret nogen ændring i fordelingen af ansøgningerne fra de enkelte medlemsstater.
Furthermore, there has been no observed shift in the balance between applications from different Member States.
Det bør bemærkes, at netstedet kun udgør én side af EPSO's kommunikationsstrategi.
It should be noted that the website represents only one strand of the EPSO communication strategy.
Udvælgelsesprøver vil også fremover blive bekendtgjort i medlemsstaternes nationale medier på det pågældende lands sprog, og bekendtgørelser om udvælgelsesprøver for alle medlemsstater offentliggøres i EU-Tidende på 11 sprog både i den trykte udgave og på nettet.
Competitions continue to be advertised in the national press of Member States in the language of the country concerned, and notices of competition targeting all Member States are published in the Official Journal in 11 languages both in hard copy and on the web.
Formålet med oplysningsarbejdet er at finde de bedst egnede ansøgere, der er i stand til at tilpasse sig til et multikulturelt og flersprogligt miljø, hvor engelsk, tysk og fransk er de mest anvendte sprog.
Publicity is geared towards identifying the most able candidates, capable of integrating effectively into a multi-cultural, multi-lingual environment where English, French and German are the languages in most frequent use.
Kommissionen har taget det ærede medlems bekymringer til efterretning, og EPSO vil også fremover gennemgå de statistiske oplysninger om udvælgelsesprøver og se på tilbagemeldingerne fra besøgende på netstedet for at afdække eventuelle problemer som følge af den politik, der forfølges i øjeblikket.
The Commission has taken note of the Honourable Member's concern and EPSO will continue to monitor competition statistics and feedback from web visitors, to identify any problems arising out of the current policy.

Om: Leje af "City Center"-Bygningen
Subject: Rental of the City Center Building
Kommissionens infrastrukturkontor i Bruxelles (OIB) er i færd med at leje "City Center"-Bygningen i nærheden af Gare du Nord-kvarteret til trods for en negativ udtalelse herom fra administrationens enhed for sundhed og sikkerhed.
The Commission's Brussels Office for infrastructures and logistics (OIB) is about to rent the City Centre Building near the Gare du Nord district even though the administration's health and safety unit has advised it not to do so.
Bygningslobbyen i Bruxelles har i årevis uden held forsøgt at overtale Kommissionen til at etablere en tredje udviklingspol for EU-institutionerne i Gare du Nord-kvarteret.
The Brussels property lobby has been attempting for years, without success, to persuade the Commission to establish a third centre of activity for the European institutions in the Gare du Nord district.
Hvorledes kan Kommissionen i bekræftende fald retfærdiggøre flytningen af tjenestemænd til et kvarter med alvorlige problemer med hensyn til livskvalitet og sikkerhed?
If so, can the Commission say why it is choosing to move officials to an area with serious problems as regards quality of life and security?
Kan Kommissionen under alle omstændigheder oplyse, hvad den agter at gøre for at forhindre leje af "City Center"-Bygningen?
Could the Commission say, at all events, what it will do to stop the rental of the City Center Building?
(3. november 2003)
(3 November 2003)
Overvejelsen om eventuelt at benytte City Center-bygningen til nogle af Kommissionens ansatte stammede fra en anmodning fra Parlamentets administrative tjenester om at benytte Montoyer 75-bygningen (MO75).
Consideration of the City Center as a possible location for Commission staff originated from a request of the administrative services of the Parliament to occupy the Montoyer 75 building (MO75).
Kommissionen svarede positivt på denne anmodning og bad Kontoret for Infrastruktur og Logistik i Bruxelles (OIB) om at finde en ny bygning til personalet i Generaldirektoratet for Forskning (GD RTD), der for tiden benytter MO75.
The Commission responded positively to this request and asked the OIB to search for a new building in which to relocate the officials of the Directorate General for Research and Technological Development (DG RTD) who currently occupy MO75.
Over en længere periode havde Parlamentet selv forhandlet om at leje City Center-bygningen til eget brug, hvis det viste sig, at det ikke kunne lade sig gøre at bytte med Kommissionen.
Over an extended period the Parliament had itself commenced negotiations to lease City Center for its own requirements if it became evident that an exchange with the Commission was not possible.
Da der tilsyneladende manglede alternativer, som kunne have gjort det muligt for Kommissionen at flytte fra MO75 inden den af Parlamentet angivne dato, overtog OIB disse forhandlinger.
In the apparent absence of alternative options which would have allowed the Commission to vacate MO75 by the date requested by the Parliament, OIB took over these negotiations.
Efter nøje overvejelser blev det erkendt, at City Center-bygningen ikke ville være egnet, og OIB fortsatte derfor med at lede efter bedre alternativer inden for eller tæt på EU-kvarteret.
After due consideration it was recognised that City Center would not be suitable, and OIB therefore continued to work to finding better alternatives, within or close to the European quarter.
På trods af nogle komplikationer går det fremad med diskussionerne om en mere passende mulighed, og lederne for City Center-projektet er blevet informeret om, at Kommissionens tjenestegrene ikke vil benytte denne bygning.
Despite some complications, discussions on a more suitable option are now progressing, and the promoters of the City Center project have been informed that Commission services will not be taking this building.
For fuldstændighedens skyld skal det nævnes, at Kommissionens Paritetiske Udvalg for Sikkerhed og Sundhed (CSHT) i Bruxelles ikke havde hverken en negativ eller en positiv holdning til City Center-bygningens egnethed, og Kontoret for Sikkerhed og Sundhed (USHT) opstillede en række betingelser, som skulle opfyldes, inden bygningen kunne tages i brug.
For the record, it should be noted that the CSHT (Comité de Sécurité et Hygiène au Travail) of the Commission in Brussels did not reach either a negative or a positive opinion on the suitability of City Center and the USHT (Unité de Sécurité et Hygiène au Travail) laid down a number of conditions to be fulfilled for occupying the building.
Det er således ikke helt korrekt at antyde, at overvejelsen om at leje City Center-bygningen gik imod udtalelsen fra Kommissionens arbejdsmiljøeksperter.
It is consequently not strictly accurate to suggest that consideration of the possibility of renting City Center was against the advice of health and safety specialists in the Commission.

Om: Afbrydelse af jernbaneforbindelsen Ventimiglia-Monaco - ønske om intervention over for Frankrig fra Kommissionens side
Subject: Ventimiglia to Monaco railway line out of use: appeal to the Commission to approach the French authorities
Afbrydelsen af jernbaneforbindelsen Ventimiglia-Monaco som følge af arbejder i Rocquebrune-tunnelen påfører Ventimiglias økonomi alvorlige skader, også i betragtning af den forventede langsommelighed af arbejderne, som efter planerne vil vare mindst året ud.
The fact that the stretch of line between Ventimiglia and Monaco is out of use owing to the work being carried out in the Roquebrune tunnel is severely harming Ventimiglia's economy, bearing in mind also that the work is scheduled to continue until at least the end of 2003.
Hvilke initiativer agter Kommissionen at tage over for de franske myndigheder for at sikre, at arbejdet med at reparere skaderne i nævnte tunnel kan afsluttes hurtigere end forventet, således at jernbanetrafikken på ovennævnte strækning kan genoptages snarest muligt?
What representations will the Commission make to the French authorities to persuade them to speed up the work to repair the damage to the tunnel, thereby enabling the above-mentioned track section to be brought back into service as quickly as possible?
Afbrydelsen af jernbanelinjen Ventimiglia-Monaco skyldes et jordskred, som indtraf midt i juni 2003 i det indre af den tunnel, der passerer under sidstnævnte lokalitet.
The Ventimiglia-Moncao line was closed to traffic following a cave-in which occurred in mid-June 2003 in the tunnel which runs under Monaco.
Det er nu planlagt — selv om de reparationer, der skal foretages af forvalteren af den pågældende infrastruktur (Réseau Ferré de France), er ganske betydelige — at driften genoptages gradvis frem til årets udgang.
Even though the infrastructure manager concerned (Réseau Ferré de France) is having to carry out considerable repair work, service is due to resume gradually by the end of the year.
Da det drejer sig om en foranstaltning, som kan sidestilles med vedligeholdelse og ikke med etablering af ny infrastruktur eller udbedring af en allerede eksisterende, ville samfinansiering af dette projekt over budgettet for det transeuropæiske transportnet — såfremt de franske myndigheder havde anmodet herom — ikke være mulig.
Since this operation is akin to maintenance rather than construction of new infrastructure or upgrading of existing infrastructure, it would not have been possible, even if the French authorities had so requested, for the project to be co-financed from the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) budget.
En medlemsstats midlertidig spærring af en vigtig transportvej kan på den anden side udgøre en hindring for de frie varebevægelser.
For a Member State temporarily to obstruct an important route may constitute a restriction on the free movement of goods.
Forsinkelser, der f.eks. forårsages af de nødvendige reparationsarbejder, der er uløseligt forbundet med jernbanetransporten, og årsagerne hertil kan være uundgåelige, bl.a. når brugernes sikkerhed står på spil.
For instance, delays caused when repair work has to be carried out are an inherent part of rail transport and the causes may be unavoidable, especially where user safety is at stake.
I betragtning af ovenstående samt af de oplysninger, Kommissionen har fået kendskab til, skønner den, at afbrydelsen af jernbaneforbindelsen Ventimiglia-Monaco som følge af de igangværende arbejder i tunnelen ved Roquebrune ikke kan anses for at udgøre en hindring for den frie bevægelighed for varer, som er uforenelig med artikel 28 i EF-traktaten.
In view of the above and of the information supplied to it, the Commission does not believe that the interruption of the Ventimiglia-Monaco rail service by the work under way in the Roquebrune tunnel is liable to constitute a restriction on the free movement of goods such as is incompatible with Article 28 of the EC Treaty.

Om: Momssatser i horeca-sektoren
Subject: VAT rates in the hotel, restaurant and catering sector
Forskellige medier har berettet, at Kommissionen med finansministrenes samtykke skulle være parat til at tillade Frankrig at anvende en momssats på 5,5 % i horeca-sektoren.
According to a number of reports in the media, the European Commission, following approval by the finance ministers, is prepared to authorise France to apply a VAT rate of 5,5 % in the hotel, restaurant and catering sector.
Er det rigtigt, at Kommissionen undtagelsesvist vil tillade horeca-sektoren i Frankrig en momssats på 5,5 %?
Is it the case that, on an exceptional basis, the Commission intends to authorise a VAT rate of 5,5 % for the hotel, restaurant and catering sector in France?
Hvorfor har Kommissionen ændret mening?
Why has the Commission changed its mind on this matter?
Vil andre medlemsstater, der anmoder herom, også få tilladelse til lignende satser i undtagelsestilfælde?
Will other Member States which make such a request also be authorised to introduce special VAT rates?
Kommissionen vedtog den 23. juli 2003 et forslag til direktiv om nedsatte momssatser KOM(2003) 397 endelig udg. .
On 23 July the Commission adopted a proposal for a Directive on reduced rates COM(2003) 397 final. .
Formålet med dette forslag er primært at forbedre det indre markeds funktion ved at opnå en forenkling og mere ensartet anvendelse af merværdiafgiften (moms).
The main aim of the proposal is to improve the internal market, in particular by pursuing the simplification, and more uniform application, of value added tax (VAT).
Kommissionen har derfor valgt at koncentrere sig om den manglende sammenhæng i den nuværende ordning hvad angår satser for at komme et vigtigt skridt videre i den retning.
In order to make substantial progress in that direction, the Commission has opted to focus on the inconsistencies in the existing system of rates.
Det er nemlig vigtigt at sikre en mere ligelig behandling af alle medlemsstaterne, herunder også de nye tiltrædende lande, og at sætte en stopper for de forvridninger, der er opstået på grund af, at nogle kan anvende de nedsatte satser inden for visse sektorer, mens det er forbudt for andre.
The point is to ensure that all Member States, including the new acceding countries, are treated more equally and to end the distortions created by the fact that some countries are allowed to apply reduced rates to certain sectors while others are forbidden to do so.
Hvad angår restaurationsydelser, er disse i øjeblikket i kraft af midlertidige undtagelser underkastet en nedsat sats i otte medlemsstater, mens syv andre medlemsstater i henhold til gældende EU-lovgivning ikke kan benytte en sådan sats.
Under a transitional derogation, restaurant services are subject to a reduced rate in eight Member States whereas current Community legislation prevents the other seven from introducing such rates.
Den situation har fået restaurationssektoren og visse regeringer til at indgive klager over for Kommissionen for at opnå, at alle medlemsstater kan benytte denne mulighed.
This situation has led this sector and certain governments to approach the Commission in order to secure this option for all Member States.
Den nedsatte sats for restauranter har desuden været genstand for vanskelige forhandlinger i forbindelse med udvidelsen af EU, og det resulterede i, at Cypern, Polen, Slovenien og Ungarn fik tilladelse til at anvende en nedsat sats for restauranter indtil den 31. december 2007.
The reduced rate for restaurants was also the subject of arduous negotiations under the enlargement process culminating in authorisation for Cyprus, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia to apply reduced rates for restaurants until 31 December 2007.
Det fornuftige i disse situationer bliver mindre og mindre indlysende, for der er ikke nogen egentlig begrundelse for at opretholde dem.
The rationale for such situations is becoming increasingly tenuous, and there is no real justification for perpetuating this state of affairs.
Under disse omstændigheder er der to muligheder: enten at undtagelserne ophæves og normalsatsen anvendes obligatorisk i alle medlemsstaterne, eller også at alle medlemsstater får mulighed for at anvende en nedsat sats.
There would seem to be two options open: either abolish such derogations and apply the standard rate in all Member States or extend the option to apply reduced rates to all Member States.
Der har imidlertid ikke været nogen klager over alvorlige konkurrencefordrejninger, som ville have gjort det nødvendigt at opgive muligheden for at anvende nedsatte satser i denne sektor.
There have been no complaints providing any evidence of serious distortion of competition necessitating the abolition of the optional application of reduced rates in these sectors.
Derfor har Kommissionen valgt at inkludere restaurationsydelser i den nye liste over varer og ydelser, for hvilke der kan anvendes nedsatte satser.
Consequently, the Commission has opted to include restaurant services in the new list of goods and services to which reduced rates may be applied.
Det er nu op til Rådet enstemmigt at træffe afgørelse om det fremtidige anvendelsesområde for nedsatte momssatser.
It is now for the Council to decide, unanimously, on the future scope of the reduced rates of VAT.

Om: Eurostat-taskforcen og OLAF's uafhængighed
Subject: Eurostat Task Force and OLAF independence
Den 9. juli 2003 besluttede Kommissionen at nedsætte en taskforce i forbindelse med anklagerne mod Eurostat.
On 9 July 2003 the Commission decided to set up a task force to investigate the complaints against Eurostat.
Det er desuden i modstrid med artikel 3 i samme afgørelse, hvori OLAF garanteres fuld uafhængighed ved udøvelsen af sine undersøgelsesbeføjelser.
It also conflicts with Article 3 of this Decision, which expressly guarantees OLAF's independence in exercising its investigative powers.
Navnlig strider det forhold, at der indsættes en tjenestemand, der ikke er tilknyttet OLAF, som leder af taskforcen, imod bestemmelsen om, at OLAF's direktør ikke må tage imod anvisninger fra Kommissionen.
In particular, the appointment of an official who does not belong to OLAF to lead the Task Force conflicts with the stipulation that the Director of OLAF may not take instructions from the Commission.
Har Kommissionen på baggrund heraf overvejet risikoen for, at tjenestemænd og firmaer, der berøres af taskforcens undersøgelser, vil anfægte undersøgelsernes retmæssighed?
In these circumstances, has the Commission looked into the risk that officials and firms affected by the Task Force's investigations may challenge their legality?
