Den tyske virksomhed BASF er imidlertid igen begyndt at producere natrium (som et biprodukt i forbindelse med klorproduktion) ved hjælp af den gamle metode, hvori der indgår kviksølv, 100 tons i 2006 og forventeligt 1 000 tons i 2007.
The German firm BASF, however, has just recommenced sodium metal production (as a by-product of chlorine production) using an older process involving mercury: 100 tonnes were produced in 2006, with 1000 tonnes due to be produced in 2007.
Dette skal ses i lyset af det frivillige tilsagn, som er underskrevet sammen med Eurochlor, hvori det fastsættes, at der kun må anvendes andre metoder, hvis der ikke findes alternativer, hvori der ikke indgår kviksølv.
It should be noted in this context that one of the voluntary agreements signed with Eurochlor allows for a derogation only where there is no alternative that does not use mercury.
Dette er imidlertid ikke tilfældet.
This is not the case in this instance.
BASF's produktion forekommer at være illoyal på det økonomiske plan.
Economically speaking, BASF’s production methods seem unfair.
Den europæiske petrokemiske industris forpligtelser over for Reach er som følge heraf blevet miskrediteret.
They discredit the European chemicals industry’s commitments as regards REACH.
Agter Kommissionen at træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger til styrkelse af den europæiske troværdighed i forbindelse med den globale konkurrencesituation?
Is the Commission intending to take the necessary steps to strengthen Europe’s credibility as regards its competitive position at world level?

Om: Kommunalvalg i Palermo i 2007
Subject: Municipal elections in Palermo in 2007
Under de nyligt afholdte valg til den kommunale administration i Palermo (Italien) blev der begået mange fejl, der forhindrede, at stemmeafgivelsen foregik normalt.
During the recent election for renewal of the municipal government of Palermo (Italy) a number of irregularities were ascertained, which interfered with the proper conduct of the election.
Der blev anmeldt mange uregelmæssigheder til den retslige myndighed: der blev åbnet kuverter, inden valgstedet blev åbnet, der var mange mangelfulde eller tomme protokoller, på nogle valgsteder opdagede man, at nogle stemmesedler var blevet udfyldt af samme hånd med en anden blyant end den, der blev udleveret til stemmetællerne, dagen før valget blev der fundet stemmesedler ved en skraldespand, mange stemmesedler blev erklæret ugyldige, selv om vælgerne havde afgivet deres stemme.
Various anomalies were reported to the judicial authorities, including the fact that a number of packets of ballot papers were opened before the polling station was properly set up, some registration forms were incomplete or blank, voting papers were found in a number of polling stations completed by one and the same person using a pencil other than the one provided there, the day before the election some ballot papers were found near a dustbin and a number of ballot papers were declared null and void, although it was clear who the elector wanted to vote for.
Desuden har mange kandidater udtalt, at de ikke kunne finde deres egne stemmesedler på det valgsted, hvor de havde stemt.
Furthermore, a number of candidates even said that they could not find their own ballot paper in the polling station where they had voted.
Myndighederne har allerede indledt en strafferetlig undersøgelse, der p.t. finder sted.
The authorities have already opened a judicial inquiry, which is currently underway.
Hvad agter Kommissionen at gøre for at sikre, at retsstatens og demokratiets grundlag overholdes ved valg i et EU-­land i overensstemmelse med artikel 6 i traktaten om Den Europæiske Union?
What will the Commission do to ascertain that the cardinal values of the rule of law and democracy,, referred to in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union, are respected during elections in an EU Member State?
Hvis den retslige myndighed bekræfter de ovennævnte uregelmæssigheder, mener Kommissionen da, at det er muligt at sende valgobservatører til et EU-­land, som det er tilfældet for valg i tredjelande, hvor Kommissionen mener, valget er i fare?
If the judicial authorities should confirm the abovementioned irregularities, does the Commission consider it would be possible to send observers to elections within a Member State, in the same way as to certain elections in third countries, if they are considered to be at risk?

Om: Italiens manglende oprettelse af en stilling som national forsvarer for børns rettigheder
Subject: Failure by Italy to create the post of national defender of children's rights
Med vedtagelsen af lov nr. 77 af 20. marts 2003 om ratificering og anvendelse af den europæiske konvention om udøvelse af børns rettigheder, der blev underskrevet i Strasbourg den 25. januar 1996, forpligtede Italien sig til at oprette en stilling som national forsvarer for børns rettigheder.
With Law No 77 of 20 March 2003 ratifying and applying the European Convention on the Exercise of Children’s Rights, signed in Strasbourg on 25 January 1996, Italy undertook to create the post of national defender of children’s rights.
Med henblik på gennemførelse og anvendelse af denne konvention oprettede Italien således i statens budget en budgetpost, men indtil videre er der ikke overført bevillinger til denne.
In order to implement and properly apply the above convention, Italy had also provided for annual funding in the national budget, but so far no appropriations have been transferred to it.
Denne manglende oprettelse af en national forsvarer er i øvrigt i modstrid med Paris‑principperne, som er opstillet i FN's generalforsamlings resolution 48/­134 fra 1993, og med bestemmelserne i nævnte konventions artikel 12.
This failure to create the post of national defender also violates the Paris principles as set out in UN General Assembly Resolution 48/134 of 1993, as well as Article 12 of the abovementioned convention.
Der slås således allerede til lyd for en sådan stilling i konventionen om barnets rettigheder af 1989 (artikel 4), og den manglende udpegelse nævnes således af FN's udvalg for barnets rettigheder i dets afsluttende bemærkninger om Italien fra 2003.
The creation of such a post was in fact already recommended in the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (Article 4), and the failure to appoint a defender was also raised by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in its concluding observations on the subject of Italy in 2003.
Kan Kommissionen oplyse følgende: —
Could the Commission say: —
om den er bekendt med ovenstående, —
whether it is aware of the above facts; —
hvilke begrundelser Italien har for endnu ikke at have udpeget en national forsvarer for børns rettigheder, —
why Italy has not yet appointed a national defender of children’s rights; —
hvordan den selv agter at gribe ind for at sikre overholdelse af de forpligtelser, som den italienske regering allerede har indgået?
what action it intends to take itself to enforce the undertakings entered into by the Italian Government?

Om: Stenbrud og anlæg til produktion af beton i Caprino Veronese og Rivoli Veronese
Subject: Quarry and cement production plant at Caprino Veronese and Rivoli Veronese
Denne forespørgsel søger på ny at gøre Kommissionen opmærksom på sagen om planer om at udvide et stenbrud og opføre en cementfabrik, der berører kommunen Caprino Veronese i provinsen Verona.
This question is designed to draw the Commission's attention once again to the project to extend the quarry and build a cement factory in the municipality of Caprino Veronese in the province of Verona.
Det foregående spørgsmål (E-­0752/­07) forklarede, at området grænser op til lokalitet af fællesskabsbetydning LAF nr. IT3210022 og det særlige beskyttelsesområde SBO nr. IT3210041, og at planen om at opføre en cementfabrik vil have meget alvorlige konsekvenser for miljøet og for livet i lokalsamfundet.
The earlier Question E‑0752/07 explained that the area concerned borders on the site of Community interest SCI No IT3210022 and the special protection area SPA No IT3210041 and that a cement factory would have an extremely adverse effect on the environment and the lives of the local community.
Provinsen Verona har nu fået overdraget en undersøgelse af indvirkningerne på miljøet i LAF og SBO foretaget at det selskab, der ejer stenbruddet.
The present situation is that a screening study of the environmental impact on the SCI and the SPA carried out by the company that owns the quarry has been submitted to the province of Verona.
I konklusionen bekræfter undersøgelsen, at det ikke er nødvendigt at foretage en undersøgelse om indvirkningerne på miljøet, fordi der formentlig ikke kan fastslås nogen væsentlige indvirkninger på det Natura 2000-område, som Monte Baldo Est tilhører (LAF/­ZIP IT3210041).
The screening concluded that there is no need for an environmental impact assessment because ‘it is unlikely that there would be significant effects on the Natura 2000 site “Monte Baldo East” (SCI/SPA IT 3210041)’.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at de pågældende lokale myndigheder bør kræve en miljøkonsekvensvurdering af planen om at anlægge et stenbrud, navnlig for at afgøre, om det er nødvendigt at foretage en rigtig miljøkonsekvensvurdering i stedet for bare en simpel behandling, eftersom det drejer sig om negative virkninger for de ovennævnte områder? —
Does not the Commission consider that the local authorities involved should demand an environmental impact assessment of the cement factory project, not least in order to determine whether it is necessary to progress from the ‘screening’ stage to a proper environmental impact assessment of the adverse effects on the abovementioned SCI and SPA?
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at direktiv 1996/­61/­EF om integreret forebyggelse og bekæmpelse af forurening bør anvendes navnlig i dette tilfælde med planerne om anlæg til produktion af beton, og at der i givet fald ikke kan gives nogen tilladelse uden at sikre, at offentligheden har haft god tid til og mulighed for på effektiv vis at deltage i beslutningsprocessen?
Does not the Commission consider that in this specific case of a project to build a cement factory, Directive 96/61/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control should apply and that no authorisation can be granted without ensuring that the general public will have opportunities for actual participation at the appropriate time?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3504/07
Nederlandske biodieselproducenter har tungtvejende problemer med import af biodiesel.
Netherlands biodiesel producers are experiencing serious problems with introducing biodiesel.
Ud over en række problemer på kort sigt er situationen i Nederlandene med hensyn til tilsætningspligten meget besynderlig.
In addition to a number of short-term problems, the situation in the Netherlands as regards compulsory blending is very odd.
Ifølge den nederlandske lov om tilsætningspligt skal alle leveringer af biobrændstoffer ske over eksisterende steder for punktafgiftspligtige varer.
The Netherlands law on compulsory blending stipulates that all deliveries of biofuels must be made via existing excise warehouses (AGPs).
Det drejer sig her om store olieselskaber.
The AGPs in question are the big oil companies.
Dette medfører, at de store olieselskaber har en stærk forhandlingsposition og alle yderligere økonomiske fordele i Nederlandene, og at det er virksomhedernes forhandlingsposition, der lider under dette.
That puts those big oil companies in a dominant negotiating position in the Netherlands, with all the associated economic advantages, and is wholly to the detriment of the negotiating position of entrepreneurs.
Desuden står der i loven, at steder for punktafgiftspligtige varer ikke behøver at være fuldstændig gennemsigtige.
The law also does not require transparency on the part of AGPs.
Dette gør det umuligt at levere 100 % ren biodiesel direkte til slutbrugerne og forbrugerne.
As a result, it is not possible to directly deliver 100 % biodiesel to end users or consumers.
Hvilke foranstaltninger kan Kommissionen foreslå for at gøre en ende på sådan en monopolpraksis?
What measures does the Commission propose in order to put an end to these monopoly practices?

Subject: Expansion of the St. Antnin recycling facility in Marsascala, Malta
Som bekendt finder der voldsomme diskussioner sted, hvad angår opførelsen af et anlæg til genbrug af affald i Marsascala (Malta), og der kommer omfattende protester fra regionen.
As the Commission will be aware, there has been an outcry over the construction of a waste processing plant in Marsascala, Malta, and many voices have been raised in protest in the region.
Anlægget tilhører i dag Waste Serv Ltd, der på et tidspunkt ville modernisere det nuværende anlæg.
The plant is currently owned by Waste Serve Ltd The company in question had been seeking to upgrade the existing facility.
Det blev senere tydeligt, at Waste Serv Ltd ikke kun ville modernisere, men også udvide anlægget.
At a later stage it became clear that Waste Serve was seeking to expand the facility rather than upgrade it.
Der er omfattende protester mod denne udvidelse, bl.a. pga. den øgede belastning (stank, trafik), og fordi der bygges for tæt på boligkvarterer.
There has been a lot of criticism of the expansion, partly on account of an increase in nuisance caused by the plant (stench, traffic) and the fact that the expanded facility is being built too close to residential areas.
Både Waste Serv og Miljøforvaltningen MEPA har begået procedurefejl.
Both Waste Serve and the Environment Department MEPA have made procedural errors.
Waste Serv ansøgte i 2004 samhørighedsfonden om støtte til modernisering af det nuværende anlæg.
In 2004 Waste Serve applied for assistance from the European Cohesion Fund for upgrading the existing facility.
De maltesiske myndigheder er allerede begyndt på at opføre det nye anlæg og nægter derfor følgende løbende procedurer og foranstaltninger: —
The Maltese authorities have already begun the process of construction of the new facility, disregarding the following pending actions: —

Subject: Sea kayaking
Havnemesteren i Świnoujście forbyder kajakker at sejle gennem sejlrenden forbeholdt fartøjer, hvilket i praksis betyder, at det er umuligt at sejle i kajak i havnen.
The captain of the port of Świnoujście has categorically banned kayaking on fairways reserved for sea vessels, which, in practice, makes this activity completely impossible in the vicinity of the port.
Men andre medlemsstater i EU åbner deres sejlrender for disse fartøjer, når der ikke er andre muligheder for at få adgang til området.
Other EU Member States allow the use of fairways where it is otherwise impossible to reach a given destination.
Findes der lovgivningsmæssige bestemmelser, der udtrykkeligt tillader eller forbyder fritidssejlads for kajakker på havet?

Om: Stigning i vinarealer i tredjelande
Subject: Rise in the number of hectares of vineyards in third countries
Ifølge en undersøgelse fra Consorcio Empresarial Vitivinícola de España (CEVENUM — spansk sammenslutning af vinbrug), som fremhæver den globale nedgang i vinarealer, hører Spanien med et fald fra 1 180 000 ha i 2005 til 1 174 000 ha i 2006 til de lande, der har reduceret deres vinarealer mest.
According to a study carried out by the Consortium of Spanish Wine-Producing Companies (CEVINUM) which reflects the falling rate of global wine-growing, Spain finds itself among those countries with the largest reduction in the area of vineyards, which has decreased from 1 180 000 hectares in 2005 to 1 174 000 in 2006.
Også i lande med stor tradition for vindyrkning som Frankrig, Italien, Rumænien og Grækenland er der sket et fald i vinarealer.
Other countries with a long tradition of wine-producing in which the number of hectares have also declined include France, Italy, Romania and Greece.
Mens Europa kan konstatere, at der er blevet ryddet 200 000 ha inden for rammen af den kommende reform af den fælles markedsordning for vin, er Europas største internationale konkurrenter i vinsektoren ved at øge omfanget af deres vinarealer.
Whilst Europe proposes to include the grubbing-up of 200 000 hectares into the forthcoming reform of the CMO in wine, its major competitors on the global wine market will continue to gradually increase the number of hectares of vineyard.
Ud over disse landes vinarealer skal der tilføjes vinarealer i Argentina, Chile og Australien.
Other countries with increased areas of vineyards include Argentina, Chile and Australia.
Hvordan vil Kommissionen retfærdiggøre sit forslag over for den europæiske vinsektor, i betragtning af at der sker en stadig stigning i vinarealerne i tredjelande?
How can the Commission justify its proposal to the European sector given that we are witnessing a constant increase in the area of vineyards in third countries?

Om: Små og mellemstore virksomheder forhindret i at indgå lånekontrakter
Subject: Obstacles to the conclusion of loan contracts for small and medium-sized enterprises
En undersøgelse fra Athens industri- og handelskammer har for nylig vist, at små og mellemstore virksomheder i forarbejdnings- og handelssektoren samt virksomheder med få ansatte har svært ved at indgå lånekontrakter med græske kreditinstitutter.
A recent study by the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry shows that small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the commercial and processing sector and firms employing a small number of staff encounter difficulties when seeking to conclude loan contracts with Greek credit institutions.
Efter virksomhedernes udsagn giver bankerne lån med bedre betingelser til store virksomheder og tilbyder dem mindre beskattede lån til lavere rente, samtidig med at de kræver færre garantier.
According to these enterprises, banks grant loans on more favourable terms to large undertakings, who are offered contracts with lower rates of interest and lower charges, whilst also being required to produce fewer guarantees.
Harmonerer det med EU's strategi for støtte til små og mellemstore virksomheder, at de græske kreditinstitutter forhindrer disse virksomheder i at opnå banklån og i at følge de procedurer, der er nødvendige for at opnå dem?

Procedurerne for akademisk anerkendelse bør også tages op til fornyet undersøgelse, for at der kan sikres hurtigere og mere forudsigelige svar (navnlig ved at universiteterne hver især udgiver deres anerkendelsespolitik).
The procedures for recognising academic qualifications must also be reviewed so as to guarantee swifter and more predictable results (in particular through the publication by universities of their policy on recognition).
Som ved anerkendelse af erhvervsmæssige kvalifikationer foreslår Kommissionen, at ingen ansøger bør vente længere end fire måneder på en beslutning, der vedrører en anmodning om akademisk anerkendelse.
As is the case for the recognition of professional qualifications, the Commission suggests that no applicant should have to wait more than four months for a decision on a request for recognition of academic qualifications.

Om: Beskyttelse af EU's geografiske betegnelser på verdensplan
Subject: Protection of EU geographical indications at world level
Den Europæiske Union har indgået bilaterale aftaler om beskyttelse af geografiske betegnelser.
The EU has concluded a number of bilateral agreements on the protection of geographical indications.
Men aftalerne omhandler for det første kun vin og spiritus og berører for det andet kun et begrænset antal handelspartnere i Den Europæiske Union.
However, these agreements are restricted to wine and spirits and concern only a limited number of the EU's trading partners.
På internationalt plan står de europæiske producenter af produkter med geografisk betegnelse over for indviklede, dyre og ofte ineffektive procedurer, der styrer beskyttelsen af disse betegnelser, og de udsættes for illoyal konkurrence på de globale markeder.
At international level, European producers of products benefiting from a geographical indication are confronted with procedures for the protection of these indications that are complex, costly and often ineffective, and they face unfair competition on world markets.
I lyset af skuffelsen over, hvor langt forhandlingerne i Doha-runden er nået, navnlig forhandlingerne om styrket beskyttelse af geografiske betegnelser inden for TRIPs-aftalen og oprettelse af et multilateralt register over disse betegnelser, bedes Kommissionen besvare følgende spørgsmål:
