Om: EU's motto
Subject: Motto of the European Union
EU's motto »Forenet i mangfoldighed« blev i sin tid valgt gennem en internetkonkurrence for eleverne i 2500 europæiske skoler.
The European Union's motto - ‘United in diversity’ - was chosen following a competition held on the Internet and involving schoolchildren from 2500 establishments in the EU.
I april 2000 blev 142 forslag fremlagt for en »europæisk mediekomite«, der bestod af 15 journalister, en fra hver medlemsstat.
142 proposals were submitted in April 2000 to a ‘European media jury’ consisting of 15 journalists (i.e. one for each Member State).
Denne komite udvalgte 7 forslag.
This jury drew up a shortlist of seven proposals.
Den 4. maj 2000 i Bruxelles valgte en dommerkomite bestående af 15 fremtrædende europæere med Jacques Delors - den tidligere formand for Kommissionen - i spidsen det endelige motto: »Forenet i mangfoldighed«.
On 4 May 2000 in Brussels, a jury of 15 European personalities chaired by the former Commission President Jacques Delors made the final choice of the motto ‘United in diversity’.

Om: Dæmninger over floden Coruh (i den nordøstlige del af tyrkisk Kurdistan)
Subject: Dams on the river Coruh (in north-east Turkish Kurdistan)
Nord for Erzurum rejser Kackar Dağlari sig, et af Tyrkiets smukkeste bjerge, der er kendt for sin naturskønhed og kulturelle betydning.
To the north of Erzurum rises Kackar Daglari, one of the most beautiful mountains in Turkey, with considerable scenic, natural and cultural attractions.
Bjergets geografiske og fysiske grænse mod syd er floden Coruh, der de sidste halvhundrede kilometer løber mod nordøst gennem Georgia på sin vej mod Sortehavet.
The geographical and physical limit of the mountain to the south is the river Coruh, which for its last few dozen kilometres flows north-east through Georgia before flowing into the Black Sea.
Coruh-floddalen indgår således i et miljø, hvis attraktioner bl.a. omfatter bjørne (hvis fortsatte eksistens er truet på grund af jagt), den røde grib (en udryddelsestruet art) og talrige andre trækkende rovfugle for ikke at tale om vegetationen, der omfatter ca. 160 lokale plantearter.
The basin of the river Coruh is thus part of an environment the attractions of which include bears (whose survival is threatened by hunting) the red vulture (an endangered species) and other migratory birds of prey, as well as the vegetation, which includes about 160 endemic plant species.
Den vigtigste floddal og en række bifloder er rige på historiske og arkæologiske steder, da regionen i middelalderen hørte under Kongeriget Georgien.
The main valley of the river and some of its tributaries are rich in historical and archaeological sites, since the region used to be part of the medieval kingdom of Georgia.
I de seneste år har bjergets skønhed og floden Coruhs strømhvirvler gjort byen Yusufeli til et ideelt udgangspunkt for trekking og white-water rafting.
In the last few years the beauty of the mountains and the rushing waters of the river Coruh have made the town of Yusufeli an ideal base for trekking and white-water rafting.
Den tyrkiske regering har til hensigt at ødelægge denne flod og dens miljømæssige og arkæologiske rigdomme med opførelsen af en række dæmninger, hvoraf den største vil være en 540 megawatt dæmning neden for byen Yusufeli.
The Turkish government intends to destroy the river and its environmental and archaeological heritage by means of a series of dams, the largest of which would be a 540 megawatt barrage downstream from Yusufeli.
Projektet omfatter opførelsen af endnu to dæmninger længere nede af floden.
The project includes the construction of at least two other dams further downstream.
18 byer og landsbyer ville blive oversvømmet, og ca. 30.000 indbyggere vil være tvunget til at flytte på grund af disse ødelæggelser.
Eighteen towns and villages would be submerged and around 30000 people would have to leave their homes because of the destruction.
De etniske flertal, der bor i den pågældende region, vil blive tvunget væk uden at få nogen som helst garanti for kompensation med henblik på genhusning, da den tyrkiske regering »ikke agter at påtage sig nogen forpligtelser med hensyn til løsning af dette problem«.
The ethnic minorities living in this region would be forced into exile, without the consolation and security of a relocation allowance, since the Turkish government ‘does not intend to assume the burden of the problem’.
På trods af den midlertidige indstilling af projektet i 2002, efter at byggekonsortiet (engelsk og fransk) som følge af en international protestkampagne havde trukket sig, vil arbejdet efter alt at dømme blive genoptaget til sommer.
Despite the suspension of the project in 2002, when the construction consortium (British and French) was withdrawn as a result of an international campaign against it, work is due to start by the summer.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at Tyrkiets status som ansøgerland forpligter det til at sikre gennemsigtige og ansvarlige procedurer i forbindelse med disse omfattende bygningsarbejder, herunder anvendelse af de retningslinjer for projekter, der er fastlagt af »World Commission on Dams«?
Does the Commission not consider that Turkey’s status as an applicant country obliges it to adopt transparent and responsible procedures regarding these major works, including the adoption of project guidelines laid down by the World Commission on Dams?
Hvilke skridt agter Kommissionen at tage for at sikre, at bestemmelserne i direktivet om miljøvurderingsundersøgelser overholdes?
What steps will it take to ensure compliance with the directive on environmental impact assessment?
Hvorledes ser fremtiden ud for de indbyggere, der er berørt af projektet, og hvilke rettigheder har nabolandene til udnyttelse af naturressourcerne?
What does the future hold for the populations involved in the project and what rights do the neighbouring countries have to use the natural resources?

Om: Anvendelse af yderligere skattepenge til i tilfælde af et truende nej til den nye EU-forfatning fra vælgernes side dog at fremtvinge et ja
Subject: The use of additional tax revenue with a view to securing a majority, should it appear likely that the electorate will reject the proposed EU Constitution
Er Kommissionen bekendt med, at den aftale, der i Nederlandene er indgået om en fair fordeling af en mio. euro til tilhængernes og modstandernes kampagner for og imod den foreslåede EU-forfatning, nu er i alvorlig fare for at blive forvredet, idet det viser sig, at den nederlandske regering råder over en hemmelig reserve på halvanden mio. euro til ekstra reklame, der skal anvendes, hvis kampagnen til fordel for den forfatning, vælgerne skal stemme om i maj eller juni, er i fare for at »mislykkes«, således at nøglen for fordeling til hhv. tilhængernes og modstandernes kampagne ændres fra 50-50 til 80-20?
Is the Commission aware that the agreements concluded in the Netherlands concerning the sharing out on a 50-50 basis of EUR 1 million between the supporters and opponents of the proposed European Constitution may well be nullified, now that the Netherlands Government would seem to have available a secret reserve of EUR 1.5 million for additional advertising which will be used if it appears likely that the campaign to encourage the electorate to approve the Constitution in May or June will ‘fail’, with the result that the ratio of allocations to the supporters and opponents will be changed from 50-50 to 80-20?
Kan Kommissionen forestille sig, at denne reserve skal betragtes som et middel til at lægge pres på dem, der er imod denne forfatning, således at de ikke kan føre en seriøs kampagne, fordi en vellykket kampagne fra deres side vil blive »straffet« med anvendelse af stadig flere penge, som skaffes via skatteyderne?
Can the Commission imagine that this reserve will be regarded as a means of exerting pressure in order to prevent the opponents of the Constitution from being able to undertake a serious campaign because their successful campaign will be ‘punished’ by the injection of more and more money, to be raised from the taxpayers?
Venter Kommissionen, at sådanne problemer, der vedrører omfanget af det af skatteyderne finansierede kampagnebudget og fordelingsnøglen mellem kampagnerne for og imod, også vil opstå i andre medlemsstater?
Does the Commission expect other EU Member States to experience similar problems with regard to the scale of the campaign budget paid for by the taxpayer and the allocation scheme between the campaigns run by the supporters and opponents of the Constitution?
I hvilke medlemsstater er der størst risiko for, at dette problem opstår?
In which Member States is it most likely that this problem will occur?
I hvilke medlemsstater er dette spørgsmål efter Kommissionens mening blevet reguleret transparent og objektivt?
In the Commission's view, in which Member States has this issue been regulated in a transparent and objective manner?
Hvorledes bidrager Kommissionen til, at der ikke nu opstår det indtryk, at denne forfatning på selve valgdagen kan opnå et kortvarigt flertal, udelukkende på grund af partiske nationale myndigheders anvendelse af skattepenge, uden at dette er udtryk for, at et flertal i offentligheden på længere sigt støtter sagen?
What will the Commission do to ensure that the impression is not subsequently created that a short-lived majority of the electorate may be secured for this Constitution on the day of the referendum solely because of the injection of tax revenue by prejudiced national authorities, without that meaning that a majority of the general public will permanently support the effect thereof?

Om: Europæiske virksomheders fiskefangst i Vestsaharas territorialfarvand og import af fisk fra det af Marokko besatte Vestsahara til EU's medlemsstater
Subject: Fish caught by European vessels in the territorial waters of Western Sahara and the import of fish from the Moroccan-occupied Western Sahara to EU Member States
Er Kommissionen bekendt med, at Pelagic Freezer-Trawler Association (PFA; www.pfa-frozenfish.com), en sammenslutning af fiskerivirksomheder i Nederlandene, Tyskland, Frankrig og England, der alle er nederlandsk ejede, lander store mængder fisk i Las Palmas (Kanariske Øer/Spanien), hvor fangsten oplagres i frysehuse, inden den transporteres videre?
Is the Commission aware that the Pelagic Freezer-Trawler Association (PFA; website: www.pfa-frozenfish.com), an association of Dutch-owned fisheries undertakings in the Netherlands, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, lands large amounts of fish at Las Palmas, in the Spanish Canary Islands, where the catches are stored in refrigerated warehouses before being shipped on to other destinations?
Er Kommissionen bekendt med, at PFA fisker i territorialfarvand, der tilhører den tidligere spanske koloni Vestsahara (Rio de Oro og Seguia el Hamra), hvoraf størstedelen siden 1975 har været besat af Marokko, på grundlag af en etårig kontrakt med Marokko, der er indgået via en person af saharansk herkomst, at denne kontrakt kan forlænges to gange, og at der i 2004 er stillet en kontrakt af længere varighed i udsigt?
Is the Commission aware that the PFA fishes in the maritime waters of the former Spanish Colony of Western Sahara (Rio de Oro and Seguia el Hamra), most of which has been occupied by Morocco since 1975 under a one-year contract with Morocco, concluded through a middleman of Saharan origin, that may be extended twice and in respect of which the prospect of a possible longer-term contract was held out in 2004?
Er denne kontrakt mellem PFA og Marokko blevet indgået inden for rammerne af MEDA-samarbejdet mellem EU og Middelhavslandene eller inden for rammerne af fiskeriaftalerne mellem EU og Marokko, eller er den indgået uden nogen form for EU-inddragelse, -aftaler eller -lovgivning?
Was the contract between the PFA and Morocco established under the auspices of the MEDA Cooperation Agreement between the EU and the Mediterranean countries or as part of the fisheries agreements between the EU and Morocco, or was it signed without any EU involvement, treaties or legislation at all?
Er Kommissionen bekendt med, at den frosne fisk fra Las Palmas transporteres til andre steder i EU, at europæiske virksomheder, som f.eks. den italienske Panapesca, deltager i importen af fisk fra Vestsahara, at den spanske virksomhed Jealsa har været involveret i bygningen af en fiskekonservesfabrik i El Aiun, der skulle tages i brug inden udgangen af 2004, og at de store fisketrawlere »Atlantic Dawn« og »Veronica«, der er registreret i Irland, også fisker ud for Vestsaharas kyst?
Is the Commission aware that the frozen fish is exported from Las Palmas to other destinations in the EU, that European undertakings such as the Italian Panapesca company are involved in importing fish from Western Sahara, that the Spanish Jealsa company has been engaged in the construction of a fish-processing plant in El Aiun, which was to have become operational before the end of 2004, and that the ‘Atlantic Dawn’ and the ‘Veronica’, large freezer-trawlers registered in Ireland, have been fishing off the coast of Western Sahara?
Er Kommissionen ikke enig i, at det forhold, at Vestsahara er opført på De Forenede Nationers liste over ikke-selvstændige områder, der stadig mangler at blive afkoloniseret, og at EU ikke anerkender den marokkanske suverænitet over Vestsahara og de tilhørende territorialfarvande, vil kunne blive understøttet effektivt ved ikke at tillade investeringer i eller eksport fra dette område, før det bliver afkolonialiseret?
Does the Commission agree that the fact that Western Sahara is included in the UN list of areas that are not self-governing and are still to be decolonised and that the EU does not recognise Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and its territorial waters might be effectively underscored if no European investment in or imports from that region were authorised until decolonisation?
Er Kommissionen rede til at fremme, at den bestemmelse i frihandelsaftalen mellem USA og Marokko (H.R. 4842), hvor produkter fra Vestsahara udtrykkeligt undtages, fordi USA ikke anerkender Marokkos suverænitet over dette område, også finder anvendelse på handelen mellem Marokko og EU-medlemsstaterne?
Is the Commission prepared to support the application to trade between Morocco and the EU Member States of the provision in the free-trade agreement between the US and Morocco (HR 4842), whereby products from Western Sahara are expressly excluded since the US does not recognise Moroccan sovereignty over that region?

Om: Marokkansk pres for i Europa gennem informationsmateriale at sikre anerkendelse af varig marokkansk suverænitet over det besatte Vestsahara
Subject: Pressure exerted by Morocco, by means of information material, with a view to securing recognition in Europe of permanent Moroccan sovereignty over the occupied Western Sahara
Er Kommissionen bekendt med, at udstillingen »Marokko, 5000 års kultur« der fra den 16. december 2004 og fire måneder frem vises i Nieuwe Kerk i Amsterdam, oprindelig omfattede et landkort, hvorpå grænsen mellem Marokko og den siden 1975 af Marokko besatte tidligere spanske koloni Vestsahara (Rio de Oro en Seguia el Hambra) var angivet med en stiplet linje, men at denne grænselinje efter pres fra den marokkanske regering er fjernet fra kortet, bl.a. ved at påklæbe kortene i udstillingens katalog en sticker, således at de besøgende får et indtryk, at dette område hører under Marokko?
Is the Commission aware that the exhibition entitled ‘Morocco - 5000 years of culture’, which opened in the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) in Amsterdam on 16 December 2004 and will run for four months, initially included a map which delineated the border between Morocco and Western Sahara, the former Spanish colony (Rio de Oro and Seguia el Hamra), most of which has been occupied by Morocco since 1975, with a dotted line but that, as a result of pressure from the Moroccan Government, that line was removed from the map, inter alia by covering the maps in the accompanying catalogue with stickers so that visitors were given the impression that the area actually belongs to Morocco?
Er Kommissionen ligeledes bekendt med, at det på udstillingen og i kataloget anføres, at »den nationale enhed blev genoprettet« i 1975, og at nabolandet Algeriet »støttede Polisarios lejesoldater«, og at der også fra det besatte område udstilles kunstgenstande, der hovedsagelig stammer fra museet i El Aiun?
Is the Commission also aware that the captions used for the exhibition and in the catalogue claim that national unity was established in 1975 and that Morocco's neighbour, Algeria, supported the mercenaries of the Polisario Front, while, in this connection, too, artefacts are exhibited from the occupied territory, most of which come from the El Aiun Museum?
Er Kommissionen bekendt med andre tilfælde, hvor marokkanske instanser forsøger at gennemtvinge, at der demonstrativt dokumenteres varig marokkansk suverænitet over det besatte område under arrangementer i medlemsstaterne med det formål at bryde modstanden mod besættelsen og gennem denne »succes« at finde argumenter for en fortsættelse af besættelsen?
Is the Commission aware of any other instances in which Moroccan authorities are seeking to enforce the view that permanent Moroccan authority over the occupied territory was emphasised during demonstrations in EU Member States in an effort to break down resistance to that view and to deduce from that ‘success’ arguments in favour of permanent occupation?
Hvorledes er der reageret på sådanne tilfælde?
What was its reaction to those instances?
Er Kommissionen ikke enig i, at det forhold, at Vestsahara er opført på De Forenede Nationers liste over ikke-selvstændige områder, der stadig mangler at blive afkoloniseret, og at EU ikke anerkender den marokkanske suverænitet over Vestsahara og de tilhørende territorialfarvande, vil kunne blive understøttet effektivt gennem fælles bestræbelser fra EU-medlemsstaterne og de heri aktive organisationer på under ingen omstændigheder at give efter for den marokkanske regerings forudsigelige pres for fortsat at udbrede den marokkanske vision?
Does the Commission agree that the fact that Western Sahara is included in the UN list of areas that are not self-governing and are still to be decolonised and that the EU does not recognise Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and its territorial waters might be effectively underscored if the EU Member States and the organisations active therein made a joint effort not to yield in any way whatsoever to the predictable pressure exerted by the Moroccan Government to comply in the dissemination of the Moroccan view?
Er Kommissionen rede til at råde medlemsstaterne til ikke at yde offentlig støtte til institutioner, der giver efter for marokkansk pres, men derimod aktivt at tilskynde til, at virksomheder og institutioner gøres bekendt med Vestsaharas reelle status?
Is the Commission prepared to advise the EU Member States that they should not grant government funding to institutions which yield to Moroccan pressure and, on the contrary, actively to promote the dissemination of information to undertakings and institutions about the real status of Western Sahara?
Hvilke foranstaltninger træffer Kommissionen - navnlig for så vidt angår information til alle berørte - der kan hindre, at der i andre medlemsstater gentages, hvad der nu er sket i Nederlandene?
What measures is the Commission taking, with particular regard to the information of all those involved, which might prevent the recurrence in other EU Member States of what has happened in the Netherlands?

Om: Genstande i fødevarer
Subject: Free gifts offered with food products
Børn er i følge sagens natur udsatte og erkender ikke de farer, de er omgivet af, og de er ikke i stand til at skelne uskadelige fra farlige produkter.
Children are naturally vulnerable and are unaware of the dangers around them: they cannot distinguish between harmless and harmful products.
Derfor bør produkter beregnet for børn prioriteres i EU's politik for produktsikkerhed.
The safety of products intended for children therefore needs to be a priority for EU policy in this field.
