I afslagsskrivelsen vedrørende EUROAID/­120517/­C/­G-projektet til udvikling af et internationalt MA-­program »Social Transformation and Economic Development in Comparative Perspective: South East Asia and Europe« begrunder Kommissionen ikke blot afslaget med tekniske og finansielle synspunkter, men også med den generelle politiske betragtning, at partnerlandene Vietnam og Laos som »socialist systems which exercise state dominance and control over education programmes, (and) may not tolerate teaching of critical thinking of their country's development issues …«.
In the decision to reject project EUROAID/120517/C/G intended to develop an international MA programme entitled ‘Social transformation and economic development in comparative perspective: South-East Asia and Europe’, the Commission justifies the rejection not only on technical and financial grounds but also with the general political consideration that the partner countries Vietnam and Laos, as ‘socialist systems which exercise state dominance and control over education programmes, […] may not tolerate teaching of critical thinking of their country’s development issues’.
Under henvisning til den »historical experience in Europe« sætter Kommissionen spørgsmålstegn ved, om »a centralised state-controlled economic system« overhovedet er i stand til at gennemføre en »sustained economic and social development«.
Referring to ‘historical experience in Europe’, the Commission doubts whether ‘a centralised state-controlled economic system’ is capable of leading to ‘sustained economic and social development’.
Er denne afslagsskrivelse i overensstemmelse med EU's officielle politik?
Is this justification for rejecting the project in line with official EU policy?
Har Kommissionen til hensigt at udelukke Laos og Vietnam fra ASIA-LINK-programmet for samarbejde mellem højere læreanstalter?
Does the Commission intend to exclude Laos and Vietnam from the Asia-Link Programme for higher education cooperation?
Hvordan kan de synspunkter, der kommer til udtryk i afslagsskrivelsen, forenes med Kommissionens meddelelse »European values in the globalised world«, hvorefter alle udenrigspolitiske instrumenter skal anvendes til at udbrede EU's værdikanon på internationalt plan, dvs. netop til de lande, hvor disse værdier endnu ikke er en realitet?
How is the view put forward in the rejection compatible with the Commission communication ‘European values in the globalised world’, which calls for all foreign policy instruments to be used to promote the EU’s values in the wider world, that is, in the very countries in which those values have yet to be put into practice?

Om: Rådets direktiv 92/43/EØF af 21. maj 1992 om bevaring af naturtyper samt vilde dyr og planter, Enduro-morcykelløbet i Touquet og den franske stats manglende overholdelse af sine forpligtelser hvad angår miljøbeskyttelse
Subject: Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora, the ‘Le Touquet Enduro’ motorcycle trial in France and the French State's violation of its obligations to protect the environment
Hvorledes har Kommissionen tænkt sig at følge op på den klage, der af franske miljø-organisationer er indgivet mod den franske stat, fordi denne igennem de sidste 30 år har tilladt afholdelsen af et motorcykelløb på den nordfranske kyst i Touquet?
How does the Commission intend to act on the complaint from French environmental protection associations against the French State for allowing a motorcycle trial to take place for the past 30 years in Le Touquet, on the north coast of France?
De lokale myndigheder har besluttet at afholde løbet igen i 2006 uden hensyntagen til flere afgørelser fra nationale domstole, der fire gange har erklæret løbet for ulovligt.
The local authorities decided to organise this race once more in 2006 without taking account of various decisions by national courts which, on four occasions, declared this race illegal.
Har Kommissionen fra den franske stat modtaget en undersøgelse af dette løbs indvirkning på naturen, både hvad angår den direkte påvirkning af dyr og planter og den indirekte virkning på klitternes bevægelse og deres nedbrydning på sigt?
Has the French State sent the Commission a study on the effects of this race on the environment, as regards both the direct effect on fauna and flora and the indirect impact on the dunes' displacement and their long-term degradation?
Hvis ikke, har den franske stat så til hensigt at fremlægge en sådan undersøgelse?
If not, does the French State expect to publish such a study?

Om: Kommissionens afgørelse vedrørende Gas Natural/­Endesa-overtagelsesbuddet
Subject: Commission decision on Gas Natural-Endesa takeover bid
Denne forordning er helt klart af teknisk og juridisk karakter og understøttes af Kommissionens retningslinjer for den nærmere fortolkning af dens artikler.
This regulation is clearly technical and legal in character, and is backed up by the Commission's guidelines for the detailed interpretation of some of its articles.
Kommissionens afgørelse burde have været strengt teknisk, således som kommissær Kroes har sagt det, men den er endt med at blive udsat for omfattende politisk pres.
The Commission's decision should have been strictly technical, as Commissioner Kroes has stated, but it has ended up being affected by a whole series of political pressures.
Allerede i september meddelte kommissær Almunia, som ikke er kompetent i sagen, at den bør afgøres i Spanien.
Already in September Commissioner Almunia, who is not competent on the matter, announced that it should be decided in Spain.
Vi ved, at Kommissionens formand og den spanske premierminister mødtes den 6. november.
We know that the Commission President and the Spanish Prime Minister met on 6 November.
Den spanske finansminister besluttede den 7. november uden at vente på Kommissionens afgørelse at sende sagen til det spanske monopoltilsyn.
The Spanish Finance Minister decided on 7 November to forward the dossier to the Tribunal for the Protection of Competition, without waiting for the Commission's ruling.
Den 10. november skrev Martin Schulz, formand for PSE-­Gruppen i Europa-Parlamentet, til Kommissionen og anmodede om, at sagen blev fjernet fra kommissær Kroes' ansvarsområde.
On 10 November Martin Schulz, the chairman of the PSE Group in the European Parliament, wrote to the Commission asking for the matter to be removed from Commissioner Kroes' jurisdiction.
Hvorfor blev denne afgørelse truffet af Kommissionen som kollegium og ikke af den relevante kommissær?
Why was this decision taken by the Commission collectively instead of by the relevant Commissioner?
Hvordan forklarer Kommissionen de forskellige forhold, der henvises til ovenfor?

Om: Beretninger fra GD Konkurrence
Subject: Competition DG reports
I henhold til en række medierapporter, der citerer interne kilder i Kommissionen, ser det ud til, at Kommissionen har udarbejdet to beretninger, hvor man accepterer tanken om at undersøge Gas Natural/Endesa-overtagelsesbuddet, men giver afkald på kompetencen i sagen, som derfor vil overgå til de nationale myndigheder.
According to a number of media reports citing internal Commission sources, the Commission appears to have prepared two reports, accepting the idea of examining the Gas Natural-Endesa takeover bid but rejecting its own competence regarding the dossier (which would thus be handed over to the natural authorities).
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, om disse oplysninger er korrekte, og om de dokumenter, der henvises til, eksisterer?
Can the Commission confirm whether this information is correct and the documents referred to exist?
Er dette Kommissionens normale praksis, når den afgør, om den er kompetent i en konkurrencesag?
Is this the Commission's usual practice when determining whether or not it is competent on a competition dossier?

Om: Fattigdom blandt børn i EU-­medlemslande
Subject: Child poverty in the Member States of the European Union
Den 20. november fejres Verdensdagen for Barnets rettigheder.
International Children's Rights Day is celebrated on 20 November.
De hårde realiteter, som vi må se i øjnene, er dog, at hverdagstilværelsen for de fleste børn levner dem meget få muligheder for at fejre noget som helst.
The harsh reality, however, as we are constantly being shown, is that for most children in the world, their daily existence leaves them very little scope for celebration.
Millioner af børn i udviklingslandene lever i total fattigdom, og en UNICEF-rapport om fattigdom blandt børn i de rige lande (2005) viser, at fænomenet er voksende i størsteparten af de rigeste lande i OECD.
Millions of children in the developing countries live in absolute poverty, while a Unicef report on ‘Child poverty in rich countries’ (2005) shows that the phenomenon is on the increase in most of the richer OECD countries.
I Den Europæiske Union synes fattigdommen blandt børn ifølge undersøgelser at være vokset i løbet af de sidste tyve år, idet ét ud af fem børn (på under 16 år) lever i fattigdom (tal fra 2001).
In the European Union, studies indicate that child poverty appears to have swollen over the last 20 years to one in five children (under the age of 16) living in poverty (figures for 2001).
Findes der en fælles europæisk definition på fattigdom blandt børn, og hvad går den ud på? 2.
whether there is a common definition of child poverty at European level and what that definition is; 2.
Hvis emnet fattigdom blandt børn og de virkninger, den kan få i EU-­25, er blevet undersøgt: Foreligger der data for de enkelte lande, og hvis ja, hvad er de nyeste tal? 3.
whether child poverty and its possible implications in the Europe of the 25 have been analysed, whether data is available for each country and, if so, what the latest data is; 3.
Agter Kommissionen at fremme aktioner til bekæmpelse af fattigdom og social udelukkelse under den nye programmeringsperiode, og i givet fald hvordan? 4.
whether and how the Commission intends to promote measures to combat poverty and social exclusion during the new programming period; and 4.

Om: Politiske partier i Slovakiet
Subject: Political parties in Slovakia
Helt op til 86 forskellige politiske partier er blevet forbudt og opløst i Slovakiet som følge af, at valgloven blev ændret den 4. februar 2005.
As many as 86 different political parties were banned and dissolved in Slovakia as a consequence of a change in the electoral law on 4 February 2005.
Denne lov var resultatet af en uigennemsigtig aftale mellem de store partier, der var repræsenteret i parlamentet, og har som sit endelige formål helt at udelukke små politiske partier og grupperinger fra den politiske arena.
This law was a non-transparent deal made by the big parties represented in parliament and has the complete exclusion of small political parties and groupings from the political arena as its ultimate goal.
Dette har følger for mange forskellige politiske organisationer, som har deltaget i valget siden demokratiets indførelse som f.eks. roma-partier, ungarske mindretal, lokale og kommunale partier.
This affects many different political organisations that have participated in elections since the advent of democracy, like Roma parties, Hungarian minorities, local and municipal parties.
I en reel demokratisk struktur bør forbud eller opløsning af politiske partier til enhver tid være den sidste udvej og kun ske efter grundige overvejelser, hvoraf det fremgår, at en politisk organisation udgør en klar trussel for det demokratiske politiske system.
In any truly democratic framework, prohibition or dissolution of political parties must at all times be carried out with the utmost restraint and only after a thorough investigation that shows that a political organisation represents a clear danger to a democratic political system.
Herudover er forfatningsdomstolen i et demokrati den institution, der har ansvaret for at træffe afgørelse i sådanne følsomme spørgsmål som forbud af politiske organisationer.
Moreover, in democracies, constitutional courts are the institutions responsible for deciding on such sensitive matters as the banning of political organisations.
Det lader også til at være vanskeligt at indse, hvorfor europæisk lovgivning om valg og politiske partier varierer så meget fra et land til et andet på vort kontinent.
It seems also difficult to understand why European laws on elections and political parties vary so greatly from one country to another on our continent.
F.eks. kræves der i Spanien kun tre personer til registrering af et politisk parti.
For instance, in Spain, only three people are required for the registration of a political party.
I Det Forenede Kongerige kræves kun et gebyr på 150 GBP og et tilsvarende antal personer.
In the UK only a fee of GBP 150 is mandatory and a similar number of people.
I andre EU-­lande følges tilsvarende praksis.
Other EU countries follow similar patterns.
Lovningen om valg og politiske partier bør have til formål at give alle adgang til det politiske liv i et land.
Laws on elections and political parties should be aimed at giving everyone access to political life in a country.
Det er tvivlsomt, hvorvidt det vil være tilfældet i Slovakiet, efter at denne nye lov blev vedtaget.
It is doubtful that this will be the case in today's Slovakia following the passing of this new law.
Har Kommissionen kendskab til denne nye lovs meget tvivlsomme demokratiske karakter og de meget alvorlige følger, som den kan have?
Is the Commission aware of the very dubious democratic nature of this new law and the extremely serious consequences it might have?
Vil Kommissionen træffe foranstaltninger for at ophæve denne lov?
Will the Commission take any measures to reverse such a law?

Om: Indonesiske kvinder dømt for udbredelse af kristendom
Subject: Indonesian Christian women convicted of ‘Christianisation’
Tre kvinder i Indonesien, som blev arresteret og anklaget for udbredelse af kristendom, er blevet dømt af indonesiske dommere til tre års fængsel.
Three women in Indonesia, who were arrested and charged with ‘Christianisation’, have been convicted by Indonesian judges and sentenced to three years in prison.
De blev fængslet den 13. maj i statsfængslet Indramayu og erklæret skyldige den 1. september for at have overtrådt loven om børns beskyttelse fra 2002, som forbyder vildledning, løgne eller forleden, der får et barn til at konvertere til en anden religion.
They were imprisoned on 13 May in Indramayu State Prison and found guilty on 1 September of violating the Child Protection Act of 2002, which forbids ‘deception, lies or enticement’ causing a child to convert to another religion.
Det lader til, at de anklagede kvinder, vidner og dommere konstant blev udsat for trusler om vold fra radikale islamister, der truede med mord, hvis kvinderne blev frifundet.
It appears that the accused women, witnesses and judges were constantly under threats of violence from Islamic radicals who threatened murder if the women were acquitted.
De tre kvinder vil formodentlig anke dommen.
The three women are reportedly planning to appeal the conviction.
Kan Kommissionen undersøge denne situation, og, hvis den tilslutter sig denne version af begivenhedernes forløb, anmode om deres øjeblikkelige løsladelse?
Can the Commission investigate this situation and if it agrees with this version of events, appeal for their immediate release?

I en skrivelse af 15. september 2005 fra generaldirektøren for Generaldirektoratet for Transport, Francois Lamoureux, til Rainer Masera angående det forsinkede byggeri af Venaus-tunnelen fastslås det, at »denne situation er meget skadelig for projektets troværdighed på dette tidspunkt, hvor Kommissionen har travlt med at fastlægge den flerårige finansplan for 2007-­2013«, og at »Kommissionen vil kunne se sig tvunget til at nedsætte støtten i forbindelse med de finansielle overslag for 2007-­2013«.
The letter of 15 September from François Lamoureux, Director-General of the Energy and Transport DG, to Mr Rainer Masera concerning the delays in the construction of the Venaus tunnel states that this situation is highly damaging to the very credibility of the project at a time in which the Commission is preparing to determine the multi-annual financing plan for the period 2007‑2013, and that the Commission could be compelled to revise downwards its support under the financial perspective for 2007‑2013.
