Om: Sikkerheden af broen mellem Rio og Antirrio i Grækenland
Subject: Safety of the Rio-Antirio bridge in Greece
Årsagerne til skaden er endnu ikke fundet, hvorfor der forståeligt nok næres bekymring med hensyn til broens sikkerhed.
The reasons for the damage have not yet come to light and as a result there is justifiable concern about the safety of the bridge.
Eftersom denne bro er medfinansieret fra Den Europæiske Investeringsbank, bedes Kommissionen besvare følgende: Har det konsortium, der har stået for brobyggeriet, afsluttet formaliteterne i forbindelse med overdragelse af projektet?
Given the fact that the bridge was co-funded by the European Investment Bank, can the Commission say whether the joint venture responsible for construction completed the formal handover of the project?
Er byggeselskabet i stand til at bestemme årsagerne til skaden og garantere, at der ikke er fare for lignende uheld i fremtiden?
Is the construction firm in a position to determine the reasons for the damage and to guarantee that there is no risk whatsoever of similar incidents occurring in the future?

Er Kommissionen enig i, at de ændringer af selskabsskatteordningen, der for nylig er blevet bebudet på Kanaløerne, vil give nedsatte skatteprocenter for ikke-residenter, mens residenter vil blive opkrævet mere i kraft af justeringen af deres øvrige skatter? 2.
Does the Commission agree that the corporation tax regime changes recently announced in the Channel Islands will provide reduced rates for non-residents, with residents being charged more as a result of the adjustment of their other taxes? 2.

Om: Akkreditering af journalister ved Kommissionen
Subject: Accreditation of journalists at the Commission
Kommissionen gør med rette en stor indsats for at styrke sin politik om åbenhed og transparens og at føre en effektiv informations- og kommunikationspolitik.
The Commission is rightly making considerable efforts to improve its openness and transparency and to pursue an effective information and communication policy.
Dermed får de europæiske borgere et bedre billede af Den Europæiske Union og den rolle, denne spiller.
As a result, members of the public are gaining a clearer picture of the European Union and the role which it plays.
Et professionelt samarbejde med de trykte og audiovisuelle medier er en helt nødvendig forudsætning i denne forbindelse.
A professional working relationship with the media - both the press and the audiovisual media - is of course a necessary precondition for this.
For nylig lagde jeg mærke til, at det kan være kompliceret for journalister at opnå akkreditering ved Kommissionen, og at proceduren under alle omstændigheder er meget tidskrævende.
Recently my attention was drawn to the fact that it is sometimes rather difficult for journalists to obtain accreditation at the Commission and that the procedure takes a long time.
Dette skyldes åbenbart, at alle journalister skal forny deres akkreditering ved Kommissionen hvert år, med den konsekvens, at den berørte tjenestegren i Kommissionen får et øget arbejdspres og kommer bagud med sit arbejde.
This is apparently because all journalists are required to renew their accreditation with the Commission annually, which inevitably creates an excessive workload and backlogs at the relevant Commission department.
Desuden synes formularerne til anmodning om akkreditering on-line til min store forbavselse kun at være til rådighed på to EU-sprog (engelsk og fransk).
Moreover, to my astonishment, the on-line forms used to apply for accreditation exist in only two EU languages (French and English).
Hvorfor stiller Kommissionen i strid med traktatens bestemmelser kun akkrediteringsformularerne til rådighed på et meget begrænset antal sprog?
Why does the Commission make the accreditation forms available only in a very limited number of EU languages, which is a violation of the Treaty?
Finder Kommissionen ikke, at det ville være hensigtsmæssigt ikke at forny akkrediteringen hvert år, men kun hvert andet år, således at arbejdspresset i den berørte tjenestegren bliver mindre, og akkrediteringerne kan tildeles hurtigere?
Would it not be sensible to require journalists to renew their accreditation every two years or so, rather than annually, so as to reduce the workload of the relevant Commission department and make it possible to grant accreditation more rapidly?
Hvilke foranstaltninger vil Kommissionen træffe på kort sigt med henblik på at afkorte de til tider særdeles lange ventetider på akkreditering?
What will the Commission do in the near future to reduce the sometimes extremely long time that journalists have to wait for accreditation?

Om: Flere bevillinger til forskning i en hurtig test for hundegalskab
Subject: More research funds for rabies tests which produce faster results
I sidste uge blev det kendt (Der Spiegel nr. 8 af 21.2.2005) at tre organmodtagere i Tyskland har fået hundegalskab og nu svæver i livsfare, fordi de har fået transplanteret organer fra en død kvinde, der var smittet med hundegalskab.
It was reported in edition No 8 of ‘Der Spiegel’, published on 21 February 2005, that three organ recipients in Germany were suffering from rabies and were critically ill after receiving organ transplants from a deceased person who had been infected with rabies.
Tre andre patienter, der har fået transplanteret organer fra samme donor, er i forebyggende behandling.
Three further recipients of organs from the same donor have been admitted to hospital as a precautionary measure.
Potentielle organdonorer testes kun for HIV, hepatitis C og B og cytomegali-virus samt eventuelt for andre ting, hvis der er en konkret mistanke.
Potential organ donors are screened solely for HIV, Hepatitis B and C and the cytomegalovirus and, where there is any doubt, possibly for other pathogens as well.
Kun i meget sjældne tilfælde foretages der en test for hundegalskab.
Tests for rabies are carried out only very rarely.
Begrundelsen for ikke at foretages sådanne undersøgelser er, at der ikke findes nogen hurtig test, som gør det muligt at udelukke smitte med det dødelige hundegalskabsvirus, før transplantationen finder sted.
The reason given for not carrying out such tests is that there is no test, which would exclude infection by rabies, which can be undertaken in the short time available between organs being harvested and transplanted.
Også serologiske undersøgelsesmetoder er meget upålidelige og viser kun et positivt resultat hos 50 % af patienterne.
Even serological testing methods are extremely unreliable and give a positive result in only 50% of patients
Hvad vil Kommissionen foretage sig for at blive i stand til at forebygge sådanne tilfælde for fremtiden?
What will the Commission do in order to prevent the recurrence of such incidents?
Ville det ikke være fornuftigt - i betragtning af, at der ikke findes nogen pålidelig hurtig test for hundegalskab - at afsætte flere bevillinger til forskning i hundegalskab?
Since there is currently no reliable infectious test for rabies, would it not be sensible to divert more funds into research into rabies?

Om: Europæiske initiativer til fremme af information om og screening af nyresvigt
Subject: European initiatives to promote information about, screening for and treatment of kidney failure
Den Europæiske Union har i øjeblikket ca. 315.000 dialysepatienter.
At present, there are some 315000 people in the EU who require dialysis treatment because of kidney failure.
Antallet vokser årligt med 8%.
The number of such patients increases every year by 8%.
Ikke alene er dialysepatienters livskvalitet stærkt påvirket, dialyse er også meget dyrt.
Apart from the daily physical discomfort suffered by dialysis patients, dialysis constitutes a very expensive type of treatment.
Omkostningerne alene til dialyse anslås i Unionen til 12,3 mia. euro årligt.
In the Union, the annual cost of dialysis treatment alone is estimated at EUR 12.3 billion.
En dialysepatient koster 60.000-80.000 euro om året, inklusive de indirekte omkostninger.
A dialysis patient costs between EUR 60000 and 80000 per year, indirect costs included.
Hvis indledningen af dialysebehandlingen for alle patienter kan udskydes i et år, skønnes det, at der kan spares 2,1 mia. euro på sundhedsbudgetterne i Unionen.
If the start of dialysis treatment for every patient could be delayed by one year, health budgets in the Union would save an estimated EUR 2.1 billion.
Derudover lider mindst hundrede gange flere mennesker af mildere former for nyreproblemer, der kan være årsag til et væld af komplikationer, f.eks. åreforkalkning.
In addition, at least one hundred times as many people suffer from milder forms of kidney failure which, in turn, lead to all kinds of complications, including arteriosclerosis.
Er Kommissionen bevidst om omfanget af dette sundhedsproblem?
Is the Commission aware of the scale of this health problem?
Anser Kommissionen det ikke for nødvendigt som led i sin sundhedsstrategi at prioritere initiativer til information om, screening og behandling af samt forskning i nyresvigt højt, for dermed at kunne hindre, eller i det mindste udsætte, uhelbredelige tilfælde af nyresvigt?
Does not the Commission deem it necessary, as part of its health strategy, to give priority to initiatives to improve information about, screening for, treatment of and research into kidney failure, so that, in so doing, it may be able to prevent terminal cases of kidney failure or at least be able to delay them?
Anser Kommissionen det for muligt at udforme et europæisk program mod nyresvigt, der svarer til det europæiske program mod kræft og AIDS?
Does the Commission think that it might be possible to set up a European programme to combat kidney failure along the lines of the European programmes to combat cancer?

Om: Al-Manar Hisbollah-tv
Subject: Al-Manar Hizbullah Television
Har Rådet kendskab til de aktiviteter, der drives af Al-Manar: Hisbollah-tv, en shiitisk satellitstation, der sender 24 timer i døgnet og har transmitteret udsendelser til den arabiske verden fra Vestbeirut i Libanon siden 1991?
Is the Council aware of the activities of Al-Manar: Hizbullah TV, a Shiite satellite 24-hour TV service, which has been broadcasting to the Arab world from west Beirut, Lebanon since 1991?
Hisbollah er den iransk og syrisk støttede organisation, som har været på det amerikanske udenrigsministeriums terroristliste siden 1996, og hvis status for øjeblikket er under fornyet overvejelse i Rådet.
Hizbullah is the Iranian and Syrian-backed organisation which has been on the US State Department’s designated terrorist list since 1996 and whose status is currently subject to review by the Council.
Hisbollah var i 1983 ansvarlig for selvmordsangreb i Beirut mod de franske og amerikanske fredsbevarende styrker, som dræbte 260 mennesker, de har bortført tusinder af libanesere og 87 vestlige borgere, herunder 36 EU-borgere, de var ansvarlige for terrorangreb mod jødiske mål i Argentina i 1992 og 1994, havde forbindelse til Khobar-højhusangrebene i Saudi-Arabien i 1996 og var på det seneste impliceret i selvmordsbombeangrebet på en natklub i Tel Aviv den 25. februar 2005.
Hizbullah was responsible in 1983 for suicide attacks in Beirut against French and American peacekeepers which killed 260 people, has kidnapped thousands of Lebanese and 87 Westerners, including 36 EU citizens, was responsible for terrorist attacks against Jewish targets in Argentina in 1992 and 1994, linked to the 1996 Khobar Towers attacks in Saudi Arabia and, most recently, implicated in the Tel Aviv nightclub suicide bomb attack on 25 February 2005.
Al-Manar er for nylig blevet sat på det amerikanske udenrigsministeriums terrorsortliste.
Al-Manar has recently been put on the US State Department Terrorism Exclusion list.
Al-Manar betegner sig selv som en »modstandsstation«, der går ind for »psykologisk krigsførelse mod den zionistiske fjende«.
Al-Manar declares itself the ‘station of resistance’ committed to ‘psychological warfare against the Zionist enemy’.
Som en ideologisk militant islamistisk tv-station støtter den ødelæggelse af staten Israel ved hjælp af terrorisme og en afslutning af den aktuelle amerikanske tilstedeværelse i Mellemøsten.
As an ideologically militant Islamic broadcaster, it advocates the destruction of the State of Israel through terrorism and an end to the current US presence in the Middle East.
Den støtter åbent selvmordsangreb mod Israel og hævdede mærkværdigvis, at Israel var involveret i angrebet på USA den 11. september 2001.
It openly supports suicide missions against Israel and bizarrely claimed Israeli involvement in the 11 September 2001 attack on the United States.
Den franske regering pålagde en af Manar's satellitleverandører, Eutelsat, at ophøre med at udsende denne kanal, men franske seere kan stadig få adgang til Al-Manar gennem mindst to andre leverandører af satellittjenester (den saudi-ejede Arabsat og den egyptisk ejede Nilesat).
The French Government instructed one of Al-Manar's satellite providers, Eutelsat, to cease broadcasting that channel, but French viewers can still access Al-Manar through at least two other satellite providers (Saudi-owned Arabsat and Egyptian-owned Nilesat).
Imidlertid har den franske regering ikke pålagt Globecast, en leverandør af satellittjenester, som den delvis ejer, at ophøre med at sende Al-Manar.
However, the French Government has not instructed Globecast, a satellite provider which it partly owns, to cease broadcasting Al-Manar.
Det hævdes, at Al-Manar ikke blot har modtaget midler fra Iran, den arabiske verden, de muslimske samfund, der er bosiddende i EU og Nordamerika, men også kan have modtaget en vis støtte via en ikke-statslig organisation, der er baseret i Libanon og som modtager EU-støtte fra et pro-demokratiinitiativ, der understøttes af Europa-Kommissionen..
It is alleged that Al-Manar, as well as receiving funding from Iran, the Arab world, the Muslim communities resident in the EU and North America, may have received some funds via an NGO based in Lebanon which receives EU funds from a pro-democracy initiative supported by the European Commission.
Endvidere er der en række europæiske selskaber som f.eks. Maggi terninger, Milka chokolade og Henkel vaskepulver i Tyskland, Smeds ost og smør fra Finland, Gauloises cigaretter og Picon ost fra Frankrig og østrigsk Red Bull, der har kommercielle reklamekontrakter med denne tv-station.
Furthermore, a number of European companies, such as Maggi cubes, Milka chocolate and Henkel detergent of Germany, Smeds cheese and butter from Finland, Gauloises cigarettes and Picon cheese from France, and Austrian Red Bull, place commercial advertising contracts with this TV station.
Mener Rådet, at sådanne reklamer fra selskaber, der er registreret i EU-medlemsstater, opfylder kravene i EU-forslagene om virksomhedernes sociale medansvar?
Does the Council consider that such advertising by EU Member State registered companies meet the requirements of the EU proposals on corporate social responsibility?
Hvis midler fra EU-budgettet er inddraget, vil denne situation blive bragt til ophør øjeblikkeligt?
If funds from the EU budget are involved, will this situation be terminated immediately?
Vil Rådet lægge pres på den franske regering for at få den til at pålægge Globecast at ophøre med at udsende Al-Manar-programmer til satellitstationer, som udsender det til Europa, Sydamerika og Afrika?
Will the Council press the French Government to instruct Globecast to cease providing Al-Manar programmes to satellite broadcasters that make it available in Europe, South America and Africa?
Rådet erindrer de ærede parlamentsmedlemmer om de holdninger, de ved enhver lejlighed har indtaget til personer, organisationer eller netværk, som formidler ideologier, der bygger på terrormetoder.
The Council would remind the Honourable Members of the positions it has consistently taken vis‑à‑vis individuals, organisations or networks that disseminate ideologies advocating terrorist methods.
Rådet har kendskab til satellitkanalen Al-Manar og dens forbindelser til den shiitiske bevægelse, Hisbollah.
The Council is aware of the activities of the Al‑Manar satellite television channel and of its links with the Shiite Hizbullah movement.
For så vidt angår de forhold og spørgsmål, som omhandles i denne parlamentsforespørgsel, påpeger Rådet imidlertid, at det med hensyn til anvendelsen af fællesskabsmidler, er Kommissionen, der skal svare for så vidt angår de øvrige elementer.
In relation to the facts and questions addressed in the Parliamentary question, the Council would point out that it is for the Commission to respond to the question concerning the use of Community funds regarding other aspects.
Rådet erindrer endvidere de ærede parlamentsmedlemmer om, at artikel 2 i direktivet om fjernsyn uden grænser Direktiv 97/36/EF af 30. juni 1997 om ændring af Rådets direktiv 89/552/EØF om samordning af visse love og administrative bestemmelser i medlemsstaterne vedrørende udøvelse af tv-spredningsvirksomhed ( EFT L 202 af 30.7.1997 ). bestemmer, at den enkelte medlemsstat sikrer, at alle fjernsynsudsendelser, der udsendes af tv-spredningsforetagender, som hører under dens jurisdiktion, overholder lovgivningen om udsendelser bestemt for offentligheden i denne medlemsstat.
The Council would also remind the Honourable Members that Article 2 of the Television Without Frontiers Directive Directive 97/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1997 amending Council Directive 89/552/EEC on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities (OJ L 202, 30.7.1997). requires each Member State to ensure that all television broadcasts transmitted by broadcasters under its jurisdiction comply with the rules of the system of law applicable to broadcasts intended for the public in that Member State.
I artikel 22a hedder det, at »medlemsstaterne skal sørge for, at udsendelserne ikke på nogen måde tilskynder til had på grund af race, køn, religion eller nationalitet«.
Article 22a provides that ‘Member States shall ensure that broadcasts do not contain any incitement to hatred on grounds of race, sex, religion or nationality’.
Det er altså op til medlemsstaterne hver især med hensyn til de stationer, der hører ind under deres jurisdiktion, at træffe de foranstaltninger, de måtte finde påkrævet i denne forbindelse.
It is therefore for the Member States to take the measures they consider appropriate in relation to this question with regard to the television channels under their respective jurisdictions
Det bør imidlertid nævnes, at i det konkrete tilfælde, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem omtaler, hører stationen Al-Manar ikke længere under Frankrigs jurisdiktion, efter at den er ophørt med at blive udsendt fra selskabet Eutelsats satellit.
It should be noted, however, that in the case raised by the Honourable Members the Al‑Manar channel is no longer within French jurisdiction since its broadcasts are no longer transmitted by Eutelsat's satellite.
Rådet understreger endelig, at Rådet, idet det er sig den trussel for de europæiske demokratier, som udsendelse i Europa fra ikke-fællesskabsbaserede mediers side af budskaber, der tilskynder til had, fuldt ud bevidst, inden for rammerne af den fornyede behandling af direktivet om fjernsyn uden grænser har indledt overvejelser om midler til en mere effektiv bekæmpelse af udsendelsen af sådanne budskaber.
Finally, the Council would stress that, fully aware of the threat posed to European democracies by the broadcasting in Europe by extra‑Community media of incitements to hatred, it has, as part of the review of the Television Without Frontiers Directive, begun consideration of means of combating more effectively the broadcasting of such material.
