Har Kommissionen ligeledes kendskab til, at det britiske miljøagentur i slutningen af oktober 2003 vedtog, at denne ophugning ikke skulle gennemføres, da der endnu ikke var blevet givet byggetilladelse til den tørdok, hvor ophugningsarbejdet skulle gennemføres?
Is the Commission aware, moreover, that in late October the British Environment Agency decided that the breaking-up operation should not go ahead on the grounds that planning permission for the requisite dry dock has not yet been granted?
Er der ikke risiko for, at disse og andre amerikanske krigsskibe vil blive ophugget i Europa på et sted eller under omstændigheder, hvor der stilles færre betingelser for sådanne arbejder?
Is there a possibility that these and other US warships will now be broken up in Europe in places or under circumstances which offer less stringent safety guarantees?
Hvad er grundene til, at disse arbejder skal finde sted i Europa i stedet for i Amerika, medens tilsvarende europæiske skibe, eftersom der på indeværende tidspunkt ikke findes egnede steder, hvor der kan foretages en miljøvenlig ophugning, nu vælger at lade disse arbejder udføre i Asien og derved forårsager alvorlig forurening der?
Why is it that these activities should be carried out in Europe, rather than in America, given that, primarily because of a lack of suitable, environmentally friendly breaking yards, similar European ships are sent to Asia and cause serious pollution there?
Hvorledes agter Kommissionen at sørge for, at disse skibe hurtigst muligt forlader europæiske farvande og europæiske havne og vender tilbage til Amerika, og at de ophugges der, og at man forhindrer, at andre skibe af denne slags når frem til Europa?
What steps is the Commission planning to take with a view to ensuring that, as soon as possible, these ships leave European waters and ports and are returned to America for breaking-up there and to preventing any repeat of this episode?

Kommissionen har ikke modtaget oplysninger specielt om den nederlandske virksomhed ICT.
The Commission has not received information regarding the Dutch firm ICT in particular.
Kommissionen er dog bekendt med, at det var denne virksomhed, som bugserede udtjente amerikanske skibe til Europa, for at de kunne blive ophugget af den britiske virksomhed Able i Nordsøhavnen Hartlepool.
However the Commission is aware that it is the company which carried out the towing of the United States' end of life ships to Europe with a view to them being broken up by the British firm Able in the North Sea port of Hartlepool.
Kommissionen er bekendt med, at kommunalbestyrelsen i Hartlepool (som er den relevante planlægningsmyndighed) den 7. oktober 2003 offentliggjorde en pressemeddelelse, hvori den gav udtryk for, at der ikke foreligger nogen gyldig planlægningstilladelse til at anlægge den foreslåede dæmning og til at genopføre dokportene med henblik på en tørdok .
The Commission is aware that on 7 October 2003 Hartlepool Borough Council (the relevant planning authority) published a media statement expressing their view that there is no valid planning permission to allow for the construction of the proposed dam and the reinstatement of the dock gates, to provide a dry dock .
Tilladelsen giver heller ikke mulighed for at modtage de pågældende mængder affald.
Nor does the license allow for the receipt of the amounts of waste in question either.
Kommissionen er også bekendt med, at miljøagenturet for England og Wales i slutningen af oktober eller begyndelsen af november 2003 meddelte Able UK Ltd, United States Maritime Administration og United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), at det modtagende anlæg ikke har tilladelse til at modtage eller genindvinde skibene som oplyst.
The Commission is further aware that the Environmental Agency for England & Wales in late October 2003/early November 2003 informed Able UK Ltd, the United States Maritime Administration and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the receiving facility was not licensed to receive or recover the ships as notified.
Godkendelsen af transporten er derfor blevet annulleret.
The consent to the shipment is thus annulled.
Ifølge en OECD-aftale fra 1993 om forsendelse af affald til genindvinding — som er gennemført i EU-lovgivningen ved forordning (EØF) nr. 259/93 Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 259/93 af 1. februar 1993 om overvågning af og kontrol med overførsel af affald inden for, til og fra Det Europæiske Fællesskab, EFT L 30 af 6.2.1993 . — kan alt affald, der er bestemt til genindvinding, transporteres næsten frit inden for OECD-området.
Under the 1993 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) agreement on shipments of waste destined for recovery — which is implemented in Community legislation in the Waste Shipment Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 of 1 February 1993 on the supervision and control of shipments of waste within, into and out of the European Community, OJ L 30, 6.2.1993 . — all waste destined for recovery can travel almost freely within the OECD area.
Det eneste krav er, at en forhåndsmeddelelse sendes til de relevante myndigheder i afsendelses-, transit- og bestemmelseslandene, og at myndighederne godkender forsendelsen.
The only requirement is that a shipment is prior notified to the competent authorities of dispatch, destination and transit and that it is consented to by these authorities.
Det påhviler derfor disse myndigheder og lande at vurdere og overveje, om de råder over de fornødne faciliteter og anlæg til at modtage og behandle de udtjente skibe, som der er givet meddelelse om.
It is therefore the decision of these individual authorities/Member States to assess and consider if they have the necessary facilities and capacity to receive and treat the end of life-ships which were subject to the notification procedure.
Ophugning af skibe i EU-området skal under alle omstændigheder opfylde bestemmelserne i EU's affaldslovgivning.
In any case, the dismantling of ships carried out within the Union must comply with the requirements of Community waste legislation.
Kommissionen behandler for tiden en klage, der er indgivet mod de britiske myndigheder angående transporten af udtjente skibe fra USA til Det Forenede Kongerige, og som rejser tvivl om, hvorvidt forpligtelserne i forordningen om overførsel af affald og en række EU-affaldsdirektiver er blevet overholdt.
The Commission is currently investigating a complaint filed against the United Kingdom authorities in relation to the shipment of four end of life ships from the United States to the United Kingdom questioning whether obligations under the Community Waste Shipment Regulation as well as under several Community waste directives were complied with.
De britiske myndigheder har oplyst, at skibene bør transporteres tilbage til USA, så snart vejrforholdene tillader det.
The United Kingdom authorities have indicated that the ships should be returned to the United States as soon as the meteorological conditions permit.
De britiske myndigheder vil holde Kommissionen underrettet om den videre udvikling i sagen.
The United Kingdom authorities will continue to keep the Commission updated about all developments in this respect.
Håndhævelse af og kontrol med overholdelsen af EU-bestemmelserne, herunder forordningen om overførsel af affald, er medlemsstaternes ansvar.
Enforcement of — and inspection of compliance with — Community legislation, including the Waste Shipment Regulation is the responsibility of the Member States.
I overensstemmelse med EF-traktatens artikel 211 sørger Kommissionen for, at EU-lovgivningen anvendes korrekt.
In line with Article 211 of the EC Treaty the Commission ensures that the Community legislation is correctly applied.
Kommissionen tilskynder også til øget samarbejde mellem medlemsstaterne for at sikre, at forordningen gennemføres korrekt og fuldstændigt.
Moreover, the Commission encourages co-operation between Member States to ensure proper and full implementation of the Regulation.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3460/03
Om: Den kommende medlemsstat Tjekkiets modstand mod udryddelse af børneprostitution i grænseområderne til Tyskland
Subject: Foot-dragging by the future Member State Czech Republic in connection with efforts to stamp out child prostitution in areas close to its border with Germany
Har Kommissionen kendskab til, at i hundredvis af børn mellem 9 og 14 år ifølge en rapport fra den tyske hjælpeorganisation Karo siden begyndelsen af 1990'erne som følge af deres forældres fattigdom er blevet tvunget ud i prostitution på tjekkisk territorium langs med grænsen til Tyskland, og at de der udsættes for misbrug af sexturister fra Tyskland?
Is the Commission aware that, according to a report by the German aid organisation KARO, since the early 1990s their parents' poverty has forced hundreds of children between the ages of 9 and 14 into prostitution in areas on the Czech side of the border with Germany and that these children are being abused by sex tourists from Germany?
Har Kommissionen ligeledes kendskab til, at den tjekkiske regering indtil nu har benægtet indholdet af Karo-rapporten og afviser at tage anmodningerne fra Unicef i dette spørgsmål alvorligt samt ikke gør brug af et nyligt tilbud fra den tyske regering om støtte til løsning af dette uacceptable problem?
Is the Commission aware, moreover, that the Czech Government has thus far refused to acknowledge the substance of KARO's report, is rejecting calls from Unicef to take the matter seriously and has ignored the recent offer from the German Government to lend assistance in dealing with these evils?
Finder Kommissionen det acceptabelt, at den kommende EU-medlemsstat Tjekkiet i stedet for at træffe foranstaltninger til løsning af dette uacceptable problem nu lader foretage en undersøgelse af eventuelle strafbare handlinger fra Karos side i form af spredning af injurier, især fordi de oplysninger, som Karo i årevis har givet om farven og nummerpladerne på de biler, der tilhører de prostitueredes regelmæssige kunder, ikke blev givet i form af officielle anmeldelser med juridisk virkning?
Does the Commission regard it as acceptable that the future EU Member State Czech Republic, instead of taking measures to deal with this abuse of children, is investigating possible criminal offences by KARO involving defamation, partly on the grounds that the details supplied by KARO for many years concerning the colour and registration numbers of the cars driven by regular users of prostitutes did not take the form of official legal reports?
Finder Kommissionen det generelt acceptabelt, at EU's medlemsstater bestrider de grænseoverskridende problemer i forhold til andre medlemsstater, bekæmper ngo'er og nægter at samarbejde med deres nabostater om en løsning på problemet?
Does the Commission regard it as acceptable, in general, that EU Member States should refuse to acknowledge their cross-border problems which affect other Member States, that they should take action against non-governmental organisations and that they should refuse to cooperate with neighbouring countries with a view to solving the problems in question?
Hvorledes kan Kommissionen bidrage til, at dette problem løses, inden Tjekkiet bliver medlem af EU den 1. maj 2004, således at denne uacceptable situation langs en af EU's fremtidige indre grænser bliver permanent?
How can the Commission help to resolve this problem before the Czech Republic becomes an EU Member State on 1 May 2004, thereby ensuring that this unacceptable state of affairs along what will shortly be an EU internal frontier does not become permanent?
Kommissionen har kendskab til Karo-projektet, der yder støtte til prostituerede og ofre for menneskehandel og seksuel udnyttelse, herunder børn.
The Commission is aware of the KARO project, which offers support for prostitutes and victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, including children.
Karo modtager finansiel støtte fra EU's Interreg-program.
KARO receives financial support from the Interreg Programme of the Union.
Kommissionen er også bekendt med bogen Kinder auf dem Strich.
The Commission is also aware of the book Kinder auf dem Strich.
Bericht von der deutsch-tschechischen Grenze , skrevet af Cathrin Schauer, som arbejder for Karo, og redigeret og præsenteret af den tyske komité for FN's Børnefond (Unicef) og den tyske afdeling af ECPAT (Stop børneprostitution og handel med børn) den 28. oktober 2003.
Bericht von der deutsch-tschechischen Grenze , written by Ms. Cathrin Schauer, who is working for KARO, and edited and presented by the German Committee for United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) and End Child Prostitution and Trafficking (ECPAT) Germany on 28 October 2003.
Kommissionen har noteret sig erklæringerne fra den tjekkiske regering i dette spørgsmål samt den igangværende debat om den nævnte publikation.
The Commission took note of the statements made by the Government of the Czech Republic in this context and of the ongoing debate about the publication concerned.
Kommissionen er i permanent kontakt med den tjekkiske regering og vil fortsat observere situationen samt de fremtidige initiativer fra den tjekkiske regering for at kunne yde enhver mulig støtte i bekæmpelsen af misbrug af børn.
The Commission is in permanent contact with the Government of the Czech Republic and will continue to observe the situation as well as the future steps of the Czech Government in order to provide any possible support for the fight against child abuse.
I sin periodiske rapport for 2002 konkluderede Kommissionen, at den tjekkiske regering havde taget vigtige skridt med henblik på at tage fat på problemet med menneskehandel.
In its Regular Report 2002, the Commission concluded that the Czech government had undertaken significant steps to address the issue of human trafficking.
I de seneste år har den tjekkiske regering således taget flere initiativer til at forbedre det lovgivningsmæssige grundlag på dette område.
Over the past years, the Czech government has undertaken several steps to improve the legal framework in this respect.
En ændring af strafferetten i 2002 udvider definitionen af ulovlig handel til også at omfatte handel med børn, og en ændring af strafferetsplejen har fremskyndet og forenklet retssager, hvor ofrene er børn.
An amendment to the Criminal Code in 2002 extends the scope of the definition of trafficking to also cover children and an amendment of the Criminal Proceedings Code has accelerated and simplified the proceedings involving child victims.
I 2000 vedtog den tjekkiske regering en national handlingsplan for bekæmpelse af seksuelt misbrug af børn i kommercielt øjemed og i 2003 en national handlingsplan for bekæmpelse af menneskehandel med henblik på seksuel udnyttelse.
In 2000, the Czech government adopted a national plan combating commercial sexual abuse of children and in 2003 a national plan combating trafficking in human beings for purposes of sexual exploitation.
Der følges løbende op på gennemførelsen af planerne.
The implementation of the plans is followed up on a regular basis.
Kommissionen opfordrer de tjekkiske myndigheder til at træffe yderligere foranstaltninger, særligt med hensyn til at sikre et effektivt overvågningssystem samt en effektiv opsporing og retsforfølgning af gerningsmændene.
The Commission encourages the Czech authorities to take further action, in particular for ensuring an effective monitoring system, detecting and prosecuting of perpetrators.
Det er også vigtigt, at de tjekkiske myndigheder sørger for et nært samarbejde mellem relevante politiafdelinger, internt såvel som i forhold til nabolandene.
It is also important that Czech authorities ensure close co-operation between relevant police departments, internally as well as with neighboring countries.
Under Phare-programmet har Kommissionen tilvejebragt betydelige finansielle midler til de tjekkiske myndigheder til bekæmpelse af organiseret kriminalitet og menneskehandel.
Under the PHARE programme, the Commission has provided substantial funding to the Czech authorities for fighting organised crime and trafficking in human beings.
Der er til dette formål bevilget ca. 5,5 mio. EUR til Tjekkiet i de seneste fire år.
To this effect, approximately EUR 5,5 million has been made available to the Czech Republic over the last four years.
Efter Tjekkiets tiltrædelse af EU kan der ydes yderligere støtte i henhold til overgangsfaciliteten.
Further support can be provided after accession under the Transition Facility.
Kommissionen understreger, at medlemsstaterne samt tiltrædelses- og kandidatlandene er nødt til at samarbejde om at forebygge og bekæmpe handel med børn, børneprostitution og seksuel udnyttelse af børn efter en tværfaglig tilgang.
The Commission reiterates that the prevention of and the fight against child trafficking, child prostitution and sexual exploitation of children needs to be addressed by Member States and Accession and Candidate Countries in a co-operative manner following a multidisciplinary approach.
En sådan tilgang indbefatter konsekvent handling over for kriminelle, der misbruger børn seksuelt, samt tiltag til forebyggelse af, at børn tvinges ud i prostitution og seksuelt misbrug.
Such an approach includes consequent action against criminals sexually abusing children as well as measures preventing children from being forced into prostitution and sexual abuse.
Samarbejdet mellem de kompetente offentlige myndigheder og de relevante internationale, mellemstatslige eller ikke-statslige organisationer bør så vidt muligt intensiveres i det udvidede EU.
Co-operation between the competent public authorities and the relevant international, inter-governmental or non-governmental organisations should be intensified wherever possible in an enlarged Union.
Rammeafgørelsen om bekæmpelse af seksuel udnyttelse af børn og børnepornografi vil, når den formelt bliver vedtaget af Rådet og gennemført i medlemsstaterne, udgøre et andet vigtigt skridt i bekæmpelsen af disse afskyelige fænomener.
The Framework Decision on combating the sexual exploitation of children and child pornography, once formally adopted by the Council and implemented by Member States, would be another important step in the fight against these abhorrent phenomena.

af Peder Wachtmeister (PPE-DE) til Kommissionen
by Peder Wachtmeister (PPE-DE) to the Commission
Om: Bestikkelsesskandale inden for det svenske detailhandelsmonopol Systembolaget AB
Subject: Corruption scandal within the Swedish retail monopoly undertaking Systembolaget AB
Under forhandlingerne forud for Sveriges medlemskab af EU gav Kommissionen tilladelse til, at Sverige kunne beholde sit statslige detailhandelsmonopol for salg af alkohol, men Kommissionen understregede, at alle forhold, som gav anledning til forskelsbehandling af nationale varer i forhold til varer, der indføres fra andre EU-lande, skulle bortfalde.
During the negotiations before Sweden's accession to the European Union, the Commission permitted Sweden to retain its State monopoly on the sale of alcohol, while stressing that all discrimination between national goods and goods imported from other EU Member States must be eliminated.
For øjeblikket er man ved at opklare en bestikkelsesskandale inden for det svenske detailhandelsmonopol Systembolaget AB.
At present a corruption scandal is being exposed within the Swedish retail monopoly undertaking Systembolaget AB.
35 chefer er efter forlydende mistænk for grove tilfælde af bestikkelse.
35 managers have been given notice that they are under suspicion of involvement in serious corruption.
Tre leverandører nævnes i politiets efterforskningsrapport, hvoraf en mistænkes for bestikkelse.
Three suppliers are the subject of a criminal investigation, one of them on suspicion of bribery.
Det antages, at visse leverandører over et længere tidsrum er blevet favoriseret til gengæld for rejser og gaver.
It is thought that over a long period certain suppliers have received preferential treatment in return for trips and gifts.
Agter Kommissionen på den baggrund at undersøge det svenske detailhandelsmonopol og eventuelt fratage det eneretten til detailsalg af alkohol i Sverige?
Will the Commission, in response to this, review Sweden's retail monopoly, and will the exclusive rights to the retail sale of alcohol in Sweden be questioned?
Da Sverige blev medlem af EU, aftalte man med Kommissionen, at den kompetente svenske myndighed (Konkurrensverket) skulle sørge for, at Systembolaget drev sit detailmonopol på en ikke-diskriminerende måde.
When Sweden became a member of the Union, it agreed with the Commission that its competition authority (Konkurrensverket) would see to it that Systembolaget would operate its retail monopoly in a non-discriminatory way.
Denne tilsynsordning gælder stadig.
This monitoring arrangement remains valid today.
Kommissionen vil dog bevare sin tætte og vedvarende kontakt med de svenske myndigheder for at sikre sig, at der ikke forekommer nogen diskrimination i strid med EF-traktaten.
However, the Commission will continue to keep close and constant liaison with the Swedish authority in order to satisfy itself that no discrimination in violation of the EC Treaty will occur.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3463/03
Om: Fastsættelse af en maksimumsandel for fortjeneste ved salg af friske varer
Subject: Fixing maximum profit margins for sales of fresh produce
I Grækenland er der på grundlag af markedskontrolbestemmelse nr. 14/1989 som ændret ved markedskontrolbestemmelse nr. 16/1991 og 2/1992 fastsat maksimumsandele for fortjeneste ved salg af frisk frugt og grønsager.
In Greece maximum profit margins in the trade in fresh vegetable and fruit are laid down by Market Decree 14/1989, as amended by Market Decrees 16/1991 and 2/1992.
Disse andele ligger fra 7-12 % for engrossalg og mellem 25-40 % for detailsalg.
These range from 7 % to 12 % for wholesale and 25 % to 40 % for retail prices.
Kommissionen bedes besvare følgende: —
In view of the above, will the Commission say: —
Har Kommissionen kendskab til de ovennævnte markedskontrolbestemmelser udstedt af de græske myndigheder? —
Is it aware of the existence of the above market decrees and the implementation thereof by the Greek authorities? —
Er det tilladt at fastsætte en maksimumsandel for fortjeneste på produkter såvel på engroshandels- som på detailhandelsniveau? —
Is it permissible to establish a maximum profit margin for products for the wholesale and the retail trade? —
Hvordan er det under disse betingelser muligt at sikre fair konkurrence, og hvordan kan man bevare loven om udbud og efterspørgsel?
Under these conditions, how can fair competition be guaranteed and the law of supply and demand maintained?
(28. januar 2004)
(28 January 2004)
Kommissionen er ikke blevet underrettet af de græske myndigheder om de særlige foranstaltninger, der er blevet indført ved markedskontrolbestemmelse nr. 14/1989 Ændret af markedskontrolbestemmelse nr. 16/1991 og 2/1992. .
The Commission has not been informed by the Greek authorities about the specific measures introduced by Market Decree 14/1989 Amended by Market Decrees 16/1991 and 2/1992. .
Medlemsstaterne har imidlertid lov til at vedtage nationale lovbestemmelser for at styrke landets politik i en specifik sektor eller erhvervsgren, også selv om den pågældende sektor er omfattet af en fælles markedsordning — og de gør det også.
However, Member States may and do adopt national legal measures to render the enforcement of a domestic policy applicable to a specific sector or industry more efficient, even though the sector is covered by a common organization of the market (a so-called CMO ).
