Om: Forhindring af svindel med CO 2 -kvoter
Subject: Prevention of CO 2 quota fraud
En helt ny type kriminelle har travlt med at malke milliarder af grønne kroner ned i egen lomme.
A completely new type of criminal has been busy filling his pockets with billions of ‘green kroner’.
Alene siden 2008 har organiserede bander og kriminelle netværk svindlet for over 37 mia. kr. på det europæiske klimamarked for handel med CO 2 -kvoter.
Since 2008 alone, organised gangs and criminal networks have fraudulently obtained more than DKK 37 billion on the European market in CO 2 quota trading.
Europol oplyser, at svindlen i visse europæiske lande i perioder har udgjort op mod 90 pct. af det samlede marked for handel med CO 2 -kvoter, der giver ret til at udlede en vis mængde drivhusgasser.
According to Europol, the fraud in some countries has at some times accounted for up to 90 % of the total market in the trading of CO 2 quotas, which confer the right to emit a certain quantity of greenhouse gases.
Svindlerne har angiveligt købt kvoter i udlandet uden moms, hvorefter de har solgt kvoterne videre i andre lande med moms.
The fraudsters have reportedly bought quotas abroad VAT-free and subsequently sold on the quotas in other countries with the addition of VAT.
Inden momsen er afregnet med myndighederne, har bagmændene lukket firmaerne, og momspengene er forsvundet.
Before settling the VAT payments with the authorities, the people behind the scam close their businesses down and the VAT money disappears.
Indrømmer Kommissionen, at det nuværende system for handel med CO 2 -kvoter på denne baggrund udgør en åbenlys invitation til kriminelle elementer?
Does the Commission accept that the present CO 2 quota trading scheme is, on this basis, an open invitation to criminal elements?
Medgiver Kommissionen herunder, at svindlen undergraver troværdigheden og i længden kan udhule de europæiske skatteyderes lyst til at bidrage, og hvad vil Kommissionen i bekræftende fald foretage sig for at komme den særdeles omfattende svindel til livs?
Does the Commission also acknowledge that such fraud undermines credibility and, in the long run, may sap the willingness of European taxpayers to contribute and, if so, what steps will the Commission take to put a end to such large-scale fraud?
Der henvises til artiklen »Klimasvindel for 37 mia.« i Jyllands-Posten af 10.12.2009.
The Commission is referred to the article entitled ‘Klimasvindel for 37 mia’ (‘37 billion climate fraud’) which appeared in Jyllands-Posten on 10 December 2009.

Kommissionen har kendskab til mistanken om momssvig på det europæiske CO 2 ‑marked og tager spørgsmålet meget alvorligt, da det vil kunne undergrave emissionshandel som sådan som et effektivt markedsbaseret instrument til opfyldelse af miljømål.
The Commission is aware of the alleged occurrences of Value Added Tax (VAT) fraud in the European carbon market and takes them very seriously, as they risk discrediting emissions trading in general as a market-based instrument which can be used to reach environmental objectives in an efficient manner.
To ting skal imidlertid understreges: For det første er også andre markeder genstand for skattesvig, og for det andet berører momssvig ikke CO 2 ‑udledningsloftet og mindsker derfor heller ikke mulighederne for at reducere emissionerne gennem EU‑emissionshandelsordningen.
However, it is important to note two things: Firstly, the phenomenon of tax fraud also exists in other markets than the carbon market and, secondly, the occurrence of VAT fraud does not impact on the stringency of the cap and therefore not on the ability of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) to achieve emission reductions.
Kommissionen reagerede hurtigt på rapporterne om formodet momssvig på CO 2 ‑markedet i foråret 2009 og vedtog i slutningen af september 2009 et forslag KOM(2009)0511 endelig. vedrørende en fakultativ og midlertidig anvendelse af ordningen for omvendt betalingspligt ved levering af bestemte varer og tjenesteydelser — bl.a. kvoter og kreditter (godkendte emissionsreduktioner (CER) og emissionsreduktionsenheder (ERU)) forhandlet under emissionshandelsordningen — som vil give medlemsstaterne mulighed for at bekæmpe karruselsvig effektivt i hele EU.
The Commission responded quickly to the reports on alleged VAT fraud in the carbon market in spring 2009 and, at the end of September 2009 adopted a proposal COM(2009)511 final. for an optional and temporary application of the reverse charge mechanism to supplies of certain goods and services — notably the allowances and credits (Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) and Emission Reduction Units (ERUs)) traded under the EU ETS — which will allow Member States to combat carousel fraud in a consistent manner across the European Union.
Rådet nåede den 2. december 2009 til politisk enighed om den del af forslaget, der vedrørte emissionshandelsordningen, og Parlamentet afgav udtalelse på plenarforsamlingen i februar 2010.
On 2 December 2009, the Council reached a political agreement on the part of the proposal that concerned the EU ETS, and Parliament gave its opinion at the plenary session in February 2010.
Kommissionen kan hverken bekræfte eller afkræfte antagelser om svindelens omfang, men er rede til at yde medlemsstaternes retshåndhævende myndigheder og Europol bistand til bekæmpelse af momssvig ved at give dem adgang til data fra Fællesskabets uafhængige transaktionsjournal.
The Commission can neither confirm nor deny any estimates of the scale of the fraud, but is ready to give assistance to national law enforcement authorities and to Europol to combat VAT fraud, namely by providing data from the Community Independent Transaction Log (CITL).
Dette spørgsmål er stadig til behandling.
Discussions are ongoing.
Et andet skridt, Kommissionen har taget for at bekæmpe svig på det europæiske CO 2 ‑marked, bestod i at skærpe kravene til åbning af en konto i det elektroniske register, hvor kvoterne opbevares.
A further measure that the Commission has worked on to combat fraud in the European carbon market was to reinforce the requirements for opening an account in the electronic registry, which is where the allowances traded are held.
Dette nødvendiggjorde en ændring af forordningen om et standardiseret og sikkert registersystem, som Forskriftsudvalget for Klimaændringer afgav positiv udtalelse om den 17. februar 2010.
This implied an amendment to the regulation for a standardised and secured system of registries, which received a positive opinion by the Regulatory Committee on Climate Change on 17 February 2010.
I artikel 12, stk. 1a, i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 2009/29/EF af 23. april 2009 om ændring af direktiv 2003/87/EF med henblik på at forbedre og udvide ordningen for handel med kvoter for drivhusgasemissioner i Fællesskabet EUT L 140 af 5.6.2009. hedder det, at Kommissionen senest den 31. december 2010 skal undersøge, om markedet for emissionskvoter er tilstrækkeligt beskyttet mod insiderhandel eller markedsmanipulation.
Article 12(1a) of Directive 2009/29/EC of Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 amending Directive 2003/87/EC so as to improve and extend the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading scheme of the Community OJ L 140, 5.6.2009. provides that the Commission, by 31 December 2010, shall examine whether the market for emissions allowances is sufficiently protected from insider dealing or market manipulation.
Kommissionen vil aflægge beretning om situationen for Parlamentet og Rådet inden fristen og i givet fald fremsætte passende forslag.
The Commission will report on the situation to Parliament and to the Council by the deadline, and make proposals if appropriate.

Om: Hvorvidt det strider mod EU-retten at forbyde bisphenol A i sutteflasker
Subject: Ban on bisphenol A in baby bottles contrary to EC law?
I Danmark nægter fødevareminister Eva Kjer Hansen under henvisning til EU-retten at indføre et forbud mod det hormonforstyrrende stof bisphenol A i sutteflasker, og ministeren nægter under henvisning til samme EU-ret at følge et flertal i det danske parlament.
In Denmark, the Minister for Food, Eva Kjer Hansen, has refused, with reference to EC law, to introduce a ban on the hormone-disrupting substance bisphenol A in baby bottles and, with reference to the same EC law, the Minister refuses to abide by a majority in the Danish Parliament.
Er det Kommissionens opfattelse af EU-retten, at et medlemsland skal forhindres i at indføre et forbud mod det hormonforstyrrende og østrogenlignende stof bisphenol A i sutteflasker til spædbørn, når det kan påvises, at stoffet er særligt farligt for nyfødte og små børn, og mener Kommissionen, at hensynet til EU-retten skal gå forud for borgernes krav på at leve et sundt liv fri for giftstoffer.
Is it the Commission's interpretation of EC law that a Member State should be prevented from introducing a ban on the hormone-disrupting and oestrogen-like substance bisphenol A in baby bottles when it can be shown that the substance is particularly hazardous for new-born babies and infants, and does the Commission consider that compliance with EC law should take precedence over the right of citizens to live a healthy life free of toxic substances?

Om: The Oregon Petition Project og EU's klimapolitik
Subject: The Oregon Petition Project and EU climate policy
Er Kommissionen bekendt med The Oregon Petition Project (se http://www.oism.org/pproject/), og er Kommissionen enig i, at det forhold at 31 000 forskere nu har underskrevet denne appel bør føre til, at de nævnte betænkeligheder indgår i grundlaget for EU's klimapolitik med større vægt, end det hidtil har været tilfældet?
Is the Commission familiar with the Oregon Petition Project (see http://www.oism.org/pproject/) and does the Commission agree that, since 31 000 researchers have now signed this appeal, more importance should be attached to the misgivings set out therein as a basis for EU climate policy than has hitherto been the case?
Er Kommissionen herunder navnlig enig i — uanset hvad den måtte mene om underskriftsindsamlingen som sådan — at »There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate.
In particular, does the Commission agree — whatever its opinion may be concerning the collection of signatures as such — that ‘There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate.
Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth«, og agter Kommissionen i givet fald at sikre, at EU's klimapolitik ændres i overensstemmelse hermed?
Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth’ and, if so, will the Commission ensure that the EU's climate policy is changed accordingly?
Svar afgivet på Kommissionens vegne af Máire Geoghegan-Quinn
Answer given by Ms Geoghegan-Quinn on behalf of the Commission
Kommissionen er bekendt med »Oregon Petition Project«.
The Commission is aware of the ‘Oregon Petition Project’.
Men Europa-Kommissionen er uenig i Oregon Petition Project's centrale påstande, som afviser, at menneskeskabte drivhusgasemissioner påvirker klimaet, og som er i modstrid med konklusionerne i den fjerde vurderingsrapport fra Det Mellemstatslige Panel om Klimaændringer (IPCC).
However, the EC does not agree with the key statements of the ‘Oregon Petition Project’ which are denying the climate impact of human released greenhouse gases and are in disagreement with the conclusions of the 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
IPCC er et af verdens mest stringente videnskabelige organer.
The IPCC is one of the most rigorous scientific review bodies in existence.
Mange tusinde videnskabsfolk har viet deres tid til at frembringe de mest fyldestgørende og autoritative vurderinger af den tilgængelige klimaforskning.
Many thousands of scientists have dedicated their time to forming the most comprehensive and authoritative assessments of climate science available.
Der er foretaget en nøje vurdering af konsekvenser og omkostninger af klimaændringer, som forårsages af forhøjede drivhusgaskoncentrationer.
Impacts and costs of climate change caused by elevated greenhouse gas concentrations have been assessed in detail.
Ifølge IPCC findes der tungtvejende beviser for, at menneskeskabte drivhusgasser vil skabe forstyrrelser i jordsystemet, og at de negative konsekvenser så langt vil overskygge de positive konsekvenser.
According to IPCC there is convincing evidence that human release of greenhouse gases will disrupt the earth system and that negative consequences will override positive effects by far.
IPCC's sammenfattende rapporter har vundet tilslutning fra samtlige regeringer i de lande, der er medlem af IPCC, og de er formelt godkendt som vejledende dokumenter for De Forenede Nationers rammekonvention om klimaændringer (UNFCCC).
IPCC summary reports have been agreed by every government of countries that is a member of IPCC and have been formally accepted as guiding documents for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Det er internationalt anerkendt, at IPCC's vurderingsrapporter indtager en førende stilling som grundlag for den politiske beslutningstagning om klimaændringer, og panelets solide resultater danner et afgørende element, som EU's klimapolitik bygger på.
The primacy of the Assessment Reports of the IPCC for climate change policy-making is internationally recognised and its robust findings represent an essential element on which EU climate policy is based.

Om: Islamisk religionsundervisning og foranstaltninger i den forbindelse
Subject: Muslim religious education and related measures
I Østrig er religion et obligatorisk fag for alle elever under 14 år, der tilhører en anerkendt kirke eller et anerkendt trossamfund.
In Austria religious education is compulsory for all pupils under 14 years of age, who belong to a legally recognised church or religious community.
Den pågældende kirke eller det pågældende trossamfund leder selv undervisningen og fører selv direkte tilsyn med den.
The teaching is led and directly supervised by the respective church or religious community itself.
I 2007 udløste en undersøgelse blandt islamiske religionslærere heftige debatter.
In 2007 a study conducted among Muslim religious education teachers sparked off a fierce debate.
Det forfærdende resultat viste, at hver femte islamiske religionslærer afviser demokratiet som uforeneligt med islam!
The alarming result showed that one in five Muslim religious education teachers rejects democracy as incompatible with Islam!
Endvidere var resultaterne med hensyn til retsstatsprincippet, menneskerettighederne og ligebehandling af kønnene yderst betænkelige.
The results relating to the rule of law, human rights and equal treatment of the sexes were also extremely disturbing.
I Tyskland undervises der i islamisk religion i fem delstater.
In Germany Islamic religion is taught in five Länder .
Ifølge medierne diskuteres det nu også at indføre undervisning i islam i skolerne i Italien.
According to media reports, the introduction of Islamic teaching in schools is now also being discussed in Italy.
På grund af muslimernes stadig større andel af befolkningen i hele Europa, de voksende radikale tendenser i islam rettet mod EU's grundlæggende værdier og faren for påvirkning og manipulation af eleverne interesserer følgende spørgsmål mig:
In the light of the growing proportion of Muslim people throughout Europe, the increasingly radical tendencies in Islam directed against the European system of fundamental values and the risk of influencing and manipulation of pupils:
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen at indlede for at forhindre udbredelsen af radikal-islamiske holdninger til unge, som strider mod europæiske, kristne og vesterlandske grundværdier?
What measures does the Commission intend to introduce in order to prevent radical Islamic thought, which contradicts Western Christian fundamental values, from being passed on to young people?

Om: Lukning af Lear Corporation i Portugal
Subject: Lear Corporation closure in Portugal
Jeg har erfaret, at ledelsen af Lear Corporations fabrik i Palmena i Setúbalregionen den 27. november 2009 meddelte medarbejderne, at den ville lukke virksomheden i begyndelsen af næste år.
On 27 November I learned that the management of the Lear Corporation factory in Palmela, in Setúbal district, had told its workers that the company was closing as of the beginning of 2010.
Lear Corporation i Palmena havde på et tidspunkt mere end 2 200 arbejdstagere, men den har gradvist reduceret dette antal, og i dag har fabrikken 260 fastansatte arbejdstagere og syv på tidsbegrænsede kontrakter.
The Lear Corporation factory in Palmela had at one stage employed as many as 2 200 workers, but had gradually been cutting back to the present level of 260 full-time employees, plus seven on short-term contracts.
Da virksomheden blev etableret i Portugal, modtog den statsstøtte, og der blev undertegnet en protokol mellem parterne.
When Lear Corporation set up its Portuguese operations, it received State subsidies, with both parties signing a protocol.
Da virksomheden imidlertid ikke opfyldte protokollen, besluttede ministerrådet, at den skulle tilbagebetale en del af den modtagne støtte.
However, since the company failed to comply with the protocol, the Portuguese Council of Ministers decided that Lear Corporation should return part of the subsidies granted to it.
Lear Corporation fremstiller tilbehør til bilindustrien, nærmere bestemt betræk til bilsæder, og den leverer til Volkswagen, som anså den som sin foretrukne leverandør, til Citroën og til Peugeot.
Lear Corporation produces accessories for the automobile industry, and specifically, seat-covers, which it supplied to Volkswagen (which regarded Lear Corporation as its best supplier), Citröen and Peugeot.
I marts 2009 foretog den en kollektiv afskedigelse af 39 arbejdstagere og begrundede det med den ustabile produktion.
In March 2009, 39 workers were sacked, on grounds of ‘production instability’.
Virksomheden informerede først på sommeren arbejdstagerne om, at problemerne var overstået, og at den havde tre nye projekter, hvoraf to af blev realiseret, hvorfor det var med stor undren, at arbejdstagerne blev bekendt med beslutningen om, at virksomheden skulle lukkes, og at de skulle afskediges.
The management informed the workers at the beginning of the summer that the problems were now a thing of the past, and that there were three new projects, two of which have actually been implemented; the workers were therefore extremely surprised by the news that the factory was closing and that they had lost their jobs.
