Om: Transport af husholdningsaffald over de interne grænser og illegal deponering i andre medlemsstater (direktiv 2006/­12/­EF)
Subject: Transportation of domestic waste across internal borders and illegal dumping in other Member States (Directive 2006/12/EC)
I december 2006 fandt de ungarske myndigheder i det sydlige Ungarn et stort antal baller med husholdningsaffald fra Tyskland, der var blevet bragt hertil illegalt og deponeret på ejendomme, der var blevet lejet for korte perioder og private formål af privatpersoner, der ikke havde nogen kendte planer om oparbejdning og recycling af affaldet.
In December 2006, the Hungarian authorities found in southern Hungary large numbers of bales of domestic waste from Germany which had been illegally taken there and dumped on properties rented for short periods and for private purposes by private individuals, without any known intention of processing and recycling the waste.
Denne praksis, som er blevet benyttet under dække af den frie bevægelighed og transport af varer på det indre marked, er ikke alene en overtrædelse af medlemsstaternes affaldslovgivning men også et brud på EU-bestemmelserne om affald og miljøbeskyttelse samt deres ånd og principper.
This practice, which has been resorted to under cover of the free movement and transportation of goods on the internal market, violates not only the laws of the Member States on waste but also European law on waste and environmental protection and its spirit and principles.

Om: Vanhanens erklæringer i Europa-Parlamentet den 18. december
Subject: Statement by Mr Vanhanen to the European Parliament on 18 December
I mit indlæg mindede jeg Vanhanen om, at Nordcypern ikke findes hverken på kortet eller i værdierne.
In response, I reminded Mr Vanhanen that Northern Cyprus existed neither on the map nor in spirit.
Rådsformanden undgik i sit svar at kommentere mit indlæg.
In his rejoinder the President-in-Office chose not to pursue the matter.
På hvilket grundlag kalder formanden den besatte del af Republikken Cypern for »Nordcypern«?
Can the Council say on what grounds the President-in-Office decided to refer to the occupied territory of the Republic of Cyprus as ‘Northern Cyprus’?
Rådets officielle holdning til det af det ærede medlem rejste spørgsmål er klart angivet i tiltrædelsestraktaten af 16. april 2003 og protokol nr. 10 dertil samt i erklæringen fra Det Europæiske Fællesskab og dets medlemsstater af 21. september 2005.
The official Council position on the point raised by the Honourable Member is clearly stated in the Treaty of Accession of 16 April 2003 and Protocol 10 attached to it, as well as in the Declaration by the European Community and its Member States of 21 September 2005.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-5769/06
I 1959 blev Berengaria-bebyggelsen, der var opført på et areal, som blev eksproprieret af den daværende kolonialregering, overdraget til Det Forenede Kongeriges Forsvarsministerium.
In 1959, Berengaria, which had been developed on land expropriated by the then colonial government situated near Polymedia in Cyprus, was transferred to the British Ministry of Defence.
For nylig besluttede den britiske regering at give afkald på sine rettigheder og bestræber sig nu på at finde en løsning i samråd med Republikken Cypern, så bebyggelsen kan blive solgt til enten staten eller borgere, eventuelt de tidligere ejere.
The British Government has recently decided to abandon its claims and is endeavouring to negotiate an agreement with the Cypriot authorities for resale to either the Cypriot Government or possible former owners.
Da briterne har brugt store mængder asbest i forbindelse med byggeriet, skal der en alvorlig indsats til for at genoprette området, før det kan bruges igen.
However, since the British used large quantities of asbestos for construction purposes on their properties the area will require major regeneration before it is fit for use.
Vil Kommissionen stille en EU-­fond eller bevillinger til rådighed til genoprettelse af Berengaria-­bebyggelsen?
Does the Commission intend to provide European funds or appropriations for the regeneration of Berengaria?

Subject: Closure of the chain of Habitat stores in Greece
Habitat-kædens forretninger drejede i begyndelsen af december nøglen om i Grækenland, hvorved ca. 100 af denne forretningskædes ansatte mistede deres arbejde.
The closure of the Habitat chain of household furniture retail stores in Greece at the beginning of December has put around 100 of its employees out of work.
Siden virksomheden indstillede driften, har forbrugerne endnu ikke fået deres indbetalinger tilbage.
Following the suspension of the company’s operations, deposits have not yet been reimbursed.
Er denne bølge af afskedigelser i Europa (Volkswagen, Arena m.fl.) forenelig med en »vellykket« Lissabon-strategi?
Is this wave of job losses in Europe (for example at Volkswagen, Arena, etc.) compatible with the ‘success’ of the Lisbon Strategy?
Trænger denne strategi ikke til at blive revideret, idet der tages større hensyn til de sociale aspekter?
Is it necessary to review the strategy taking greater account of the social aspects?
Hvilke muligheder kan EU tilbyde forbrugerne for at gøre dem i stand til at beskytte sig imod den form for uhæderlig handelspraksis?
What possibilities does the European Union offer consumers of protecting themselves from such unethical business practices?

Om: Bistand til Belarus under det europæiske instrument for demokrati og menneskerettigheder
Subject: Assistance for Belarus under the European instrument for democracy and human rights
Den Europæiske Union engagerer sig aktivt i foranstaltninger til fremme af demokratiske ændringer i Belarus.
The European Union is actively involved in promoting democratic change in Belarus.
De stipendier, som tildeles de studerende, som er blevet bortvist fra universiteterne som følge af deres deltagelse i oppositionens aktiviteter, støtte til en uafhængig presse og radioprogrammer og indsatsen for at oprette et kontor for Kommissionen i Minsk, viser, at Kommissionen tager sin opgave særdeles alvorligt.
Initiatives such as grants for students expelled for involvement in opposition activities, support for the independent press and radio programmes and efforts to set up a European Commission delegation in Minsk show that the Commission takes its role very seriously.
Ifølge Aleksandr Milinkevitj, leder af den belarussiske opposition og modtager af Sakharov-prisen i år, har 40 % af indbyggerne i landet adgang til internettet (som for øjeblikket ikke begrænses af staten), hvoraf to tredjedele er unge.
At the same time, according to Alexander Milinkevich, Belarusian opposition leader and this year's winner of the Sakharov Prize, 40 % of the population use the Internet (on which the State has not yet placed any restrictions), two thirds of them young people.
Næsten 20 % af belarusserne ser Euronews, der er den eneste vestlige tv-­kanal, som de har ubegrænset adgang til.
Up to 20 % of Belarusians watch EuroNews, which is the only western TV channel to which they have unrestricted access.
Denne situation giver Kommissionen nye muligheder for at formidle uafhængige oplysninger til belarusserne såvel som at yde støtte til dem, som kæmper imod Alexander Lukasjenkos regime.
This state of affairs opens up new opportunities for the Commission to provide Belarusians with unbiased information and to support opponents of Alexander Lukashenko's regime.
Har Kommissionen planer om at oprette en internetservice specielt til belarussere på belarussisk, russisk og engelsk for at sikre, at de har adgang til objektive og uafhængige oplysninger?
Will the Commission consider launching a special Internet service for Belarusian citizens in Belarusian, Russian and English, to ensure them access to independent and objective information?
Overvejer Kommissionen inden for rammerne af Euronews at oprette en informationsservice, der særligt henvender sig til belarussere på deres sprog?
Will it consider introducing a special information service for Belarusians as part of EuroNews, broadcast in their language?
Vil Kommissionen gennemføre de ovenstående forslag og udarbejde et strategidokument inden for rammerne af det nylige vedtagne det europæiske instrument for demokrati og menneskerettigheder, når det træder i kraft?
Will the Commission put the above suggestions into practice and draw up a related strategic document within the framework of the recently adopted European instrument for democracy and human rights once it enters into force?

Can the Commission give assurances that the ongoing economic partnership agreement negotiations with the least developed countries will not disadvantage these countries and explain what measures it is taking to ensure this?
Kan Kommissionen endvidere garantere, at de midler, den har afsat til »Aid for Trade«, ikke blot erstatter den støtte, EU allerede yder til udviklingslande, og at der ikke blot er tale om en ny etiket på allerede eksisterende støtte?
Can the Commission also give guarantees that the aid for trade resources from the Commission will not simply replace existing support already given by the EU to developing countries and that it is not a mere re-labelling of existing aid commitments?

Can the Commission clarify the situation regarding UK citizens bringing tobacco and alcohol products into the UK when returning from holidays and business trips from other EU countries, specifically those Member States which joined the European Union in 2004?
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at restriktioner på disse varer er i modstrid med det indre markeds principper?
Does the Commission not think that restrictions on these products go against the principles of the single market?

Om: Støtteforanstaltninger for kvindelige migranter i EU
Subject: Measures in support of migrant women in the EU
Med Den Europæiske Unions forestående udvidelse i 2007 vil emigrationen tage yderligere til i de 27 medlemsstater.
The forthcoming enlargement of the European Union in 2007 will give rise to an increase in the migration rate in the 27 Member States.
I de seneste år er det især kvinder, der har forladt deres hjemland for at finde arbejde eller blive genforenet med slægtninge.
In recent years, this phenomenon has mainly concerned migrant women seeking work or women rejoining their families.
Kvinder udsættes imidlertid ofte for vold og overgreb hvad angår sociale og arbejdsmæssige rettigheder — eksempelvis udbetaling af lønninger, der er lavere end gennemsnittet — og hvad angår grundlæggende rettigheder.
However, these women have often suffered violent treatment, injustices in terms of social security and employment entitlements, such as lower-than-average wages, and human rights abuses.
Ofte er der for de kvindelige migranters vedkommende tale om direkte diskrimination på arbejdspladsen eller nægtelse af fastslåede rettigheder.
Migrant women have often suffered genuine forms of discrimination at work and infringement of acquired rights.
Selv om EU-institutionerne altid har tilstræbt at bekæmpe enhver form for diskrimination, findes der stadig ikke oplysnings- og støtteprogrammer for kvindelige migranter i EU.
However, although the EU institutions have always been committed to fighting all forms of discrimination, there are as yet no information and support plans for migrant women within the EU.
Hvad er situationen generelt?
What is the general position in this regard?

Om: Inddragelse af flyselskabet Air Madrids flylicens
Subject: Withdrawal of Air Madrid's operating licence
I løbet af de seneste år er der sket en liberalisering inden for forskellige sektorer af stor betydning.
A liberalisation process has been carried out in various key sectors in recent years.
Der er tale om en reguleret liberalisering, som fastsætter minimumskrav for service over for forbrugeren.
These processes have involved regulated liberalisation where minimum consumer service requirements have been imposed.
I nogle tilfælde kan sådanne krav være utilstrækkelige.
These obligations may be inadequate in some cases.
Det er tilfældet for luftfartsselskabet Air Madrid, som den 15. december 2006 indstillede sine flyvninger forud for den spanske regerings beslutning den 16. december 2006.
This applies in the case of Air Madrid, which suspended operations on 15 December 2006 in anticipation of a decision by the Spanish Government on 16 December 2006.
Passagererne valgte dette luftfartsselskab på grund af selskabets fremragende tilbud, som gør det muligt for personer med beskedne indkomster at købe flybilletter til meget konkurrencedygtige priser.
Passengers chose this airline because they were attracted by its excellent offers, which allowed people with low incomes to purchase tickets at very competitive prices.
I dette tilfælde er passagererne imidlertid i en situation uden beskyttelse, som det er nødvendig at finde en løsning på.
However, these passengers now find themselves without protection, and this situation needs to be resolved.
Selskabets solvens har i længere tid været i alvorlig fare.
The airline's solvency had been severely compromised for some time.
I sådanne tilfælde skal en hurtig indgriben være med til at sikre, at der er midler til at give passagererne erstatning.
In such cases, rapid intervention must make it possible to guarantee the existence of funds to provide compensation for passengers.
Hvilke muligheder har de berørte passagerer for så hurtigt som muligt at få erstatning i lyset af den spanske regerings manglende reaktion og Air Madrids meddelelse om betalingsstandsning?
What possibilities do affected passengers have in order to receive compensation as soon as possible, given the government's failure to act and Air Madrid's attempts to declare payments suspended?
Vil Kommissionen fremsætte forslag til nye foranstaltninger for at undgå, at passagerer er uden beskyttelse, især i ekstreme tilfælde som dette?
Will the Commission propose new measures to prevent passengers being left without protection, particularly in extreme cases such as this?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-5785/06
Den 16. december 2006 indstillede den spanske regering luftfartsselskabet Air Madrids flyvninger som følge af, at selskabet ikke opfyldte bestemmelserne for vedvarende luftdygtighed for luftfartøjer og bestemmelserne for vedligeholdelse af drifts- og nødudstyr.
On 16 December 2006 the Spanish Government suspended Air Madrid's operations as a result of its failure to comply with requirements relating to the airworthiness of its aircraft and operational and emergency equipment.
Dagen før havde luftfartsselskabet besluttet at indstille sine flyvninger, hvorved 130 000 passagerer strandede på et meget hektisk tidspunkt på året.
On the previous day the airline had decided to suspend its activities, leaving 130 000 passengers stranded just before the festive season.
Har Kommissionen kendskab til, om den spanske regering har fulgt den lovgivning, der fremgår af artikel 16 i den omtalte forordning, for at sikre at passagerernes rettigheder respekteres og om nødvendigt at indføre sanktioner?
Does the Commission know whether the Spanish Government has taken the legislative measures laid down in Article 16 of the above regulation in order to ensure that passengers' rights are respected and, if necessary, to lay down sanctions?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-5786/06
Luftfartsselskabet Air Madrid besluttede den 15. december 2006 at indstille sine flyvninger forud for den spanske regerings beslutning.
Air Madrid decided to suspend operations on 15 December 2006, in advance of the Spanish Government's decision.
Denne situation berører mange mennesker, og erstatningerne kan løbe op i millioner.
The situation thus created is leaving a trail of people affected, and compensation could run into millions.
I de seneste dage er det kommet frem, at den kompetente myndighed Dirección General de Aviación Civil (generaldirektoratet for civil luftfart) har ignoreret flere tusinde klager fra kunder, som rejste med Air Madrid.
It has emerged over the past few days that the competent authority — the Spanish Directorate-General for Civil Aviation — has disregarded thousands of complaints by Air Madrid customers.
Disse klager er ikke blevet behandlet, og klagerne har heller ikke modtaget noget svar.
These complaints have not been dealt with, and the people making the complaints have received no reply.
Ombudsmanden har været nødt til at iværksætte en undersøgelse af de forskellige klager over luftfartsselskabet og af de forskellige datoer.
The Spanish Ombudsman has been obliged to open an inquiry into the various investigation files relating to the airline and the corresponding dates.
Der er en begrundet mistanke om, at Air Madrid kan have udøvet sine flyaktiviteter i længere tid — i det mindste siden 2005 — uden at have opfyldt minimumskravene for luftdygtighed.
There is a well-founded suspicion that Air Madrid may have been operating without meeting basic airworthiness requirements for some time — at least since 2005.
Der er ligeledes tvivl om luftfartsselskabets solvens på det tidspunkt, hvor flylicensen blev fornyet.
There are also doubts surrounding the airline's solvency when the operating licence was renewed.

Om: Forvaltning af registret over topdomænet».com«
Subject: ‘.com’ top-level domain registry management
Den 29. november godkendte det amerikanske handelsministerium en ny aftale mellem ICANN og det amerikanske selskab for nettjenester, VeriSign, om forvaltning af registret over topdomænet».com«.
On 29 November 2006 the US Department of Commerce approved a new agreement between ICANN and the American VeriSign network services company regarding the management of the ‘.com’ top-level domain registry.
Denne aftale rummer mulighed for yderligere udstrækning (»renewal expectancy«) giver Verisign ret til at forhøje engrospriserne for registrering under topdomænet».com« med 7 % om året.
The agreement provides for the possibility of its further extension (‘renewal expectancy’) and entitles VeriSign to increase ‘.com’ wholesale domain registration prices by 7 % annually.
Til det amerikanske handelsministeriums godkendelse af aftalen er knyttet nogle tillægsbestemmelser, som ikke er indeholdt i de tidligere tekster, der giver det større regulerings- og kontrolrettigheder.
However, American Department of Commerce endorsement for the agreement is accompanied by additional provisions not contained in the previous text giving it wider regulatory powers.
VeriSign skal i forbindelse med en hvilken som helst kommende prisforhøjelse, kontraktfornyelse og justering af tekniske parametre, der har indflydelse på sikkerheden og stabiliteten af internettet, indhente forudgående tilladelse fra ministeriet.
Specifically, Verisign will need its prior authorisation for any future price increases, contract renewal or technical specifications with implications for the security and stability of Internet.
Der er ikke fastsat nogen tidsfrist med hensyn til varigheden af disse nye beføjelser.
No time limit has been imposed with regard to the duration of these new powers.
Det er klart, at de øgede beføjelser, som handelsministeriet har fået, vil medføre en vis indskrænkelse af ICANN's virkefelt og handlefrihed.
Clearly, the additional powers assumed by the US Department of Commerce will correspondingly diminish ICANN’s sphere of action and the scope of its operations.
Agter Kommissionen at øge bestræbelserne på at opnå den tilstræbte privatisering af internettets forvaltning?
Will efforts be stepped up to achieve the sought-after privatisation of Internet management and, if so, what form will these efforts take?

Om: Støtte til prostituerede
Subject: Support for sex workers
Mordene på fem prostituerede i Det Forenede Kongerige for nylig har sat yderligere fokus på sårbarheden og desperationen hos de kvinder, der arbejder i sexindustrien.
The recent murders of five sex workers in the UK have further brought to light the vulnerability and desperation of women who work in the sex industry.
Medlemsstaterne har hverken på nationalt eller europæisk niveau iværksat konkrete tiltag for at løse en række spørgsmål i tilknytning til prostitution, det være sig handlen med kvinder fra Østeuropa, mindreårige prostituerede eller, som i ovennævnte tilfælde i Det Forenede Kongerige, kvinder, der er tvunget til at arbejde i isolerede baggader.
Member States are failing both at national and European level to seriously tackle many of the issues surrounding prostitution, be it the trafficking of women from eastern Europe, the prostitution of minors or, as in these cases in the UK, women forced to work in isolated, back streets.
Lovgivningen er alt for ofte rettet imod disse kvinder i stedet for at beskytte dem mod de mange farer og den udnyttelse, de udsættes for.
The law all too often works against these women and fails to protect them from the many dangers and exploitation that they face.
Hvilke praktiske foranstaltninger iværksætter Kommissionen for at tilbyde de prostituerede mere støtte og beskyttelse som modvægt til den lovgivningsmæssige efterladenhed?
What practical measures is the Commission taking to offer more support and protection to sex workers counterbalancing the neglect they face in terms of the law?
En af de væsentligste hindringer for bedre beskyttelse af prostituerede er, at det i mange lande stadig er et tabuemne.
One of the greatest barriers to offering greater protection to sex workers is the fact that this topic remains taboo in many countries.
