Om: Lukning af de tosprogede skoler i Tyskland
Subject: Closing of bilingual Greek schools in Germany
Ifølge klager fra indbyggere i Tyskland af græsk oprindelse (hvis børn går i tosprogede skoler), har de tyske myndigheder skriftligt meddelt dem, at disse skoler vil lukke i år.
People of Greek descent living in Germany (whose children attend bilingual schools) have complained that the German administration has written to them to inform them that these schools will be closed in the course of this year.
I Tyskland bor der ca. 300.000 grækere, hvis børn ikke længere vil kunne få undervisning i deres modersmål, hvis den ovennævnte afgørelse gennemføres.
It might be recalled that there are 300000 Greeks living in Germany, whose children will no longer be taught in their mother tongue if this decision is implemented.
Kender Kommissionen årsagerne til, at der er truffet en sådan afgørelse samtidig med, at EU konstant understreger behovet for at bevare den sproglige og kulturelle mangfoldighed?
Is the Commission aware of the reasons behind this decision, at a time when the EU is doing everything possible to underline the need to respect linguistic and cultural diversity?
Hvordan vil Kommissionen kunne skride ind for at få annulleret denne afgørelse?
In what way can the Commission intervene so that this decision is quashed?

Om: FN-konventionen om bekæmpelse af finansiering af terrorisme
Subject: UN Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism
I et indlæg i The Economist om EU's koordinator for bekæmpelse af terrorisme, Gijs de Vries, hævder David Cronin, at Gijs er alvorligt bekymret over, at af de seks medlemmer af Golfens Samarbejdsråd (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Katar, Saudi-Arabien og De Forenede Arabiske Emirater) har kun Bahrain og Saudi-Arabien undertegnet FN's konvention fra 1999 om bekæmpelse af finansiering af terrorisme.
In an article in The Economist about the Anti-Terrorism Coordinator, Gijs de Vries, David Cronin writes that Mr de Vries is seriously concerned at the fact that, out of the six member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE), only Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have signed the UN Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism.
Bekymringen over, at internationale aftaler ikke overholdes, deles af alle.
Everybody shares that concern at failure to comply with international agreements.
Der er imidlertid også to medlemmer af EU, der indtil nu har nægtet at ratificere denne konvention, nemlig Irland og Tjekkiet.
However, two Member States of the EU are, to this day, still refusing to sign the Convention: Ireland and the Czech Republic.
Et år efter attentatet den 11. marts ville det forekomme passende, at der, hvis EU vil lade sin stemme høre på andre områder, ikke kan rettes nogen form for kritik mod EU på dette punkt, således som Gijs de Vries med rette forsøger at gøre.
One year after the 11 March terrorist attacks in Madrid, it should not be possible for the EU to be criticised on this count if it wants to have its voice heard elsewhere, as Mr de Vries is properly trying to do.
Vil Rådet snarest opfordre regeringerne i Irland og Tjekkiet til at ratificere denne konvention?
Will the Council urge the Governments of the Czech Republic and Ireland to ratify the UN Convention as soon as possible?
Hvilken holdning vil Rådet indtage, hvis Tjekkiet og Irland også fremover nægter at ratificere denne konvention?
What will be the Council's attitude if Czech Republic and Ireland continue to refuse to ratify the Convention?
Den Europæiske Union går fuldt og helt ind for universel tilslutning til og fuldstændig gennem­førelse af de 12 FN-konventioner og -protokoller om terrorisme.
The European Union is firmly committed to universal adherence to, and full implementation of, the 12 UN Conventions and Protocols on terrorism.
Fremme af universel ratifikation af alle relevante internationale instrumenter er en af EU's vigtigste prioriteter, både i forbindelserne med tredjelande og inden for EU selv.
The promotion of universal ratification of all relevant international instruments figures high among the priorities of the Union, both in relations with third countries and within the Union.
EU's antiterrorkoordinator har for nylig sendt medlemsstaterne en skrivelse herom for at minde dem om denne forpligtelse.
In this respect, the Counter-Terrorist Coordinator sent recently a letter to the Member States to remind them of this obligation.

Om: Civil kontrol med efterretningstjenester i Tyrkiet
Subject: Civilian control of intelligence services in Turkey
Et afgørende element i en demokratisk retsstat er den civile kontrol med de væbnede styrker (M. Kaldor og I. Vejvoda, »Democratization in Central and East European Countries«, International Affairs, 73, I, 1997, (59-82)).
According to M. Kaldor and I. Vejvoda in ‘Democratisation in Central and East European Countries’, International Affairs, 73, I, 1997, pp. 59-82, civilian control of the military is essential in a democratic country governed by the rule of law.
I 2004-fremskridtsrapporten om Tyrkiet kommer Kommissionen ind på denne civile kontrol med de væbnede styrker.
In its 2004 regular report on Turkey's progress towards accession, the European Commission discusses such civilian control of the military.
I den forbindelse omtaler den navnlig det nationale sikkerhedsråds beføjelser og kontrollen med forsvarsudgifterne.
Particular attention is paid, inter alia, to the powers of the National Security Council and to control of military and defence expenditure.
Kommissionen bemærker, at der stadig er visse problematiske aspekter, men at den civile kontrol med de væbnede styrker generelt er blevet væsentligt forbedret (2004-fremskridtsrapport om Tyrkiet, s. 21-23).
The Commission notes that, while a few problems remain, civilian control of the military has, in general, improved significantly (2004 regular report on Turkey's progress towards accession, pp. 21-23).
Noget lige så vigtigt i en demokratisk retsstat er demokratisk civil kontrol med de nationale efterretningstjenester.
What is just as important in a democratic country governed by the rule of law is democratic civilian control of the national intelligence services.
I sin fremskridtsrapport om Tyrkiet nævner Kommissionen ikke noget om dette anliggende.
The European Commission makes no reference whatsoever to this aspect in its 2004 report on Turkey's progress towards accession.

Om: Planer om et Kerneeuropa og ligestilling mellem EU-medlemsstaterx
Subject: Plans for a ‘core Europe’ and equality of the EU Member States
I forskellige aviser nævnes der planer om et Kerneeuropa, såfremt Det Forenede Kongerige ikke ratificerer traktaten om en forfatning for Europa.
Various newspapers have been running reports about plans to establish a ‘core Europe’ if Great Britain should not ratify the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe.
Disse »hemmelige planer« er kommet frem i et bemærkelsesværdigt bidrag fra Charles Grant, som er direktør for tænketanken Centre for European Reform.
Those ‘secret plans’ were referred to in a remarkable article by Charles Grant, Director of the Centre for European Reform.
Der skal bl.a. være tale om integration af visse landes væbnede styrker, harmonisering af strafferet og borgerlig ret, en europæisk straffedomstol, skatte- og afgiftsharmonisering, én plads i internationale organisationer og sammenlægning af ambassader (De Standaard, 1. marts 2005; Daily Telegraph, 1. marts 2005).
The plans are said to include, inter alia, integration of the armed forces of a number of countries, harmonisation of criminal law and civil law, the establishment of a European Criminal Court, tax harmonisation, a single seat in international organisations for the EU and the combining of Member State embassies (see De Standaard, edition of 1 March 2005 and The Daily Telegraph, edition of 1 March 2005).
Hertil knytter der sig sandsynligvis juridiske problemer (se bl.a. Jörg Monar, »Optionen für den Ernstfall: Auswege aus einer möglichen Ratifizierungskrise des Verfassungsvertrages«, Europarecht, januar 2005, (16-32)).
That would undoubtedly create legal problems (see Jörg Monar, ‘Options to cope with an emergency: ways out in the event of a crisis over the ratification of the Constitutional Treaty’, European Law, January 2005, pp. 16-32).
Skønt dette bidrag fortrinsvis drejer sig om den situation, at Det Forenede Kongerige undlader at ratificere traktaten, kan det også opfattes som »et politisk svar« i det tilfælde, at andre medlemsstater ikke ratificerer.
Although this article principally concerns the situation that would arise in the event of a British refusal to ratify the Treaty, it may also be seen as ‘a political answer’ to cover the eventuality of other Member States not ratifying it.
Det afhænger af, hvilken medlemsstat det nøjagtigt drejer sig om: lille eller stor, grundlæggerstat eller ej, EU-entusiast eller ej.
It is claimed that much would depend on which Member State was involved: one of the smaller ones or one of the larger ones, a founder member or not, an enthusiastic member or not.
Et nej fra Frankrig vil ifølge Grant umuliggøre traktatens ikrafttrædelse.
According to Mr Grant, a French ‘No’ would make it impossible for the Treaty to enter into force.
Derimod vil et nej fra Polen ikke nødvendigvis betyde »døden« for traktaten, fordi Polen efter sin optagelse i EU »har skaffet sig visse fjender«.
On the other hand, a Polish ‘No’ would not necessarily be fatal for the Treaty because, since its accession to the EU, ‘Poland has made a few enemies.’
Hvis Irland, Danmark eller Den Tjekkiske Republik forkaster traktaten, vil det formentlig medføre, at forfatningen sendes til en ny folkeafstemning.
Rejection by Ireland, Denmark or the Czech Republic would probably result in the Constitution's being put once more to the vote in a second referendum.
Honor Mahony anfører i den forbindelse, at visse medlemsstater åbenbart er mere lige end andre (»Some more equal than others«) (Honor Mahony, »Unofficial plan B considered in case Britain rejets Constitution«, Euobserver, 3. marts 2005).
In that connection, Mr Honor Mahony notes that some Member States are manifestly more equal than others (Honor Mahony, ‘Unofficial Plan B considered in case Britain rejects the Constitution’, Euobserver, 3 March 2005).
Hvad mener Kommissionen om denne opdeling af medlemsstater i små og store lande, »EU-entusiaster« og »mindre eller slet ikke EU-entusiastiske lande«?
What is the Commission's opinion of this division of EU Member States into smaller and larger, enthusiastic or less enthusiastic members?
Finder Kommissionen ikke, at alle medlemsstater - uanset deres identitet - er lige?
Does not the Commission believe that all Member States - irrespective of their identity - are equal?
Finder Kommissionen ikke, at denne ligestilling netop udgjorde et af grundlagene for det daværende EØF og er det i dag for det nuværende EU?
Does not the Commission believe that such equality specifically constituted one of the foundations of the former EEC and of the current EU?
Indebærer denne ligestilling ikke, at alle medlemsstater har lige stor indflydelse på ratifikationsprocessen, og at enhver ikke-ratifikation har lige så store juridiske og politiske konsekvenser?
Does not such equality imply that every Member State has an equally large influence on the ratification process and that any failure to ratify the Treaty will have an equally significant legal and political impact?

Ifølge oprindelseslandsprincippet er det generelle princip, at udbydere af tjenesteydelser skal omfattes af oprindelsesmedlemsstatens nationale lovgivning.
Under the country of origin principle, in general, service providers are covered by the national legislation of the Member State of origin.
I forbindelse med reklamer indebærer dette formentlig, at reklamer, som ikke accepteres i Sverige, såsom diskriminerende reklamer, børnereklamer, cigaretreklamer og spiritusreklamer, vil skulle tillades for virksomheder fra EU-lande, hvor denne type reklamer er tilladt.
In the case of advertising, this would imply that advertising which is not accepted in Sweden, such as discriminatory advertising, advertisements aimed at children, advertising of cigarettes and spirits, will be allowed for companies from Member States where such types of advertising are permitted.
Mener Kommissionen, at den nuværende definition af oprindelseslandsprincippet kan resultere i, at virksomheder, som er etableret i et EU-land med en liberal reklamelovgivning, vil kunne markedsføre tjenesteydelser og produkter, som i øjeblikket ikke kan markedsføres i Sverige på grund af svensk lovgivning?
Does the Commission consider that the present definition of the country of origin principle may result in companies established in Member States with liberal advertising legislation being able to market services and products which, at present, cannot be marketed in Sweden owing to Swedish legislation?
Kan resultatet af oprindelseslandsprincippet dermed blive, at EU-landenes lovgivning harmoniseres, hvad angår reklamer og markedsføring af tjenester og produkter?

Det er derfor særlig vigtigt, at anvendelsen af pesticider i medlemsstaterne kontrolleres på en engageret og professionel måde.
That is why it is particularly important that the use of pesticides in the Member States is monitored in a committed and professional fashion.
I Tyskland varetager delstaterne denne opgave, og disse har oprettet særlige plantebeskyttelsestjenester som kompetente myndigheder.
In Germany, this is the responsibility of the federal Länder, which have set up ‘Plant Protection Services’ to act as competent authorities.
I 2005-rapporten om Kommissionens inspektionsbesøg i Tyskland fra den 22. til den 26. marts 2004 hedder det: Omfang og hyppighed af denne kontrol varierer dog meget.
However, the 2005 report on the European Commission’s inspection visit to Germany of 22‑26 March 2004 states that the scope and frequency of this monitoring are inconsistent.
Ifølge de tyske myndigheders oplysninger blev under 1 % af brugerne kontrolleret i 2003.
Based on figures presented by the German authorities, less than 1 % of users were inspected in 2003.

EF-Domstolen kræver (C-103/00) af Grækenland, at der inden for en bestemt periode skal træffes foranstaltninger til at beskytte havskildpadden caretta caretta i Laganas-bugten og oprettes et reservat for denne dyreart.
In Case C-103/00, the European Court of Justice has ordered Greece to implement measures within a specific timescale for the protection of the sea turtle Caretta caretta in the bay of Laganas and to set up a nature conservation area for the species.
Det har de græske myndigheder i første omgang opfyldt, men havnationalparken Zakynthos måtte lukke i sommeren 2004, da staten ikke opfyldte sine finansielle forpligtelser.
At first, the Greek authorities complied with this requirement; however, the National Marine Park of Zakynthos was forced to close in summer 2004 because the State was not fulfilling its financial obligations.
Er dette Kommissionen bekendt?

Hvornår vil Kommissionen sørge for, at de græske myndigheder træffer foranstaltninger til at give havnationalparken den økonomiske støtte og de nødvendige retlige beføjelser til at håndhæve den nødvendige beskyttelse og vedligeholdelse for at opfylde parkens opgaver?
When will the Commission ensure that the Greek authorities take measures to provide the National Marine Park with the financial support and the necessary legal authorisation to implement protection and the maintenance priorities required to allow the park to fulfil its duties?
Ved Kommissionen, at de lokale myndigheder kan støtte gennemførelsen af foranstaltningerne til at beskytte havskildpadden, men at der kræves et fagligt velfunderet ledelsesorgan for at sikre en omfattende beskyttelse af arten og opfylde parkens mangeartede opgaver?
Is the Commission aware that the local authorities can support the implementation of measures protecting the sea turtles, but that, in order to ensure comprehensive protection of the species and to fulfil the many tasks that the park faces, a specialist management body is required?
Det viser internationale eksempler, og det dokumenteres af erfaringerne fra de godt 20 år før oprettelsen af National Marinepark of Zakynthos og fra sidste sommer, hvor de lokale myndigheder stod mere eller mindre magtesløse over for overtrædelserne af parkens reglement.
This is demonstrated by international examples and by the experience of some 20 years before the National Marine Park of Zakynthos was set up and of last summer, when the local authorities were more or less powerless to act against the breaches of the park’s regulations.
