Om: Dyrebeskyttelse: ulovlig transport af hvalpe
Subject: Animal welfare: illegal transport of puppies
Sidste mandag stoppede det østrigske politi en transport med 137 hvalpe.
Last Monday, the police in Austria stopped a vehicle which was transporting 137 puppies.
Køretøjet havde flere alvorlige fejl.
The vehicle was very defective.
Desuden var dyrenes pas falske, da hundene endnu ikke havde den lovpligtige alder for transport.
Moreover, the animal passports had been forged, as the dogs had not yet reached the statutory minimum age for transportation.
Målet for transporten, der var påbegyndt i Slovakiet, var Spanien.
The journey had begun in Slovakia, with Spain as its intended destination.
Dette er ikke noget enkeltstående tilfælde og viser på ny, at der i Europa findes profitorganisationer, som overtræder de gældende dyrebeskyttelsesbestemmelser.
This is not an isolated case, and it once again reminds us that in Europe organisations exist which are bent on profit and which evade animal welfare provisions in a criminal manner.
I Østrig blev der for nylig anholdt dyrebeskyttelsesfolk i henhold til den østrigske straffelovs § 278.
In Austria, a number of animal welfare activists were recently arrested under Article 278 of the Criminal Code.
Paragraffen omhandler deltagelse i en kriminel organisation og har til hensigt at modvirke terrororganisationer.
This article concerns involvement in a criminal organisation and is intended to provide protection against terrorist organisations.
Det er for mig ubegribeligt, hvorfor paragraffen ikke finder anvendelse på hvalpetransportens chauffør som medlem af en formentlig kriminel organisation og fører til anholdelse og varetægtsfængsling.
To me it is incomprehensible why the article has not been applied to the driver who was transporting the puppies — as a member of a presumed criminal organisation — and why he was not detained and remanded in custody pending an investigation on this basis.
Har Kommissionen kendskab til hyppigheden af de illegale transporter og den manglende kontrol af dyretransporter i mange medlemsstater?
Is the Commission aware how frequent illegal transportation is and that in many Member States vehicles transporting animals are not inspected adequately?
Vil Kommissionen på grund af de hyppige overtrædelser hæve EU-transportbestemmelserne til et almengældende højt niveau, kontrollere, om medlemsstaterne gennemfører dem, og indføre tilsvarende straffe ved overtrædelser?
In view of the recurrent infringements, will the Commission introduce stringent, generally binding EU transport provisions, monitor carefully how Member States implement them and, if the law is not complied with, introduce appropriate penalties?
Hvornår fremlægger Kommissionen et forslag til direktiv for generelle europæiske minimumsstandarder for dyrebeskyttelse, der skal gennemføres af alle EU-lande?
When will the Commission submit a proposal for a directive establishing universal European minimum standards for animal welfare which have to be implemented in all EU Member States?

Om: Nedsættelse af momssatsen på elektricitet
Subject: Reduction of VAT on electricity
De fleste cypriotiske statsborgere, herunder mange, hvis hovedbeskæftigelse eller sekundære beskæftigelse er landbrug, står over for alvorlige problemer på grund af de seneste måneders store prisstigninger på elektricitet som følge af prisstigningerne på olie.
The majority of Cypriot citizens, including many whose main or secondary occupation is farming, are facing severe hardship because of the large rise in the price of electricity consequent to the rise in the price of oil, in recent months.
Hvis det tages i betragtning, at overvejelser om konkurrence ikke i praksis er særlig relevante for Cyperns vedkommende, mener Kommissionen så ikke, at en nedsættelse af momssatsen på elektricitet fra 15 % til 5 % ville være passende for de cypriotiske forbrugere?
Having in mind that considerations of competition are not, in practice, really relevant in the case of Cyprus, does the Commission not think that a reduction of VAT on electricity from 15 % to 5 % would be appropriate for the Cypriot consumers?
Har de cypriotiske myndigheder fremsat en lignende anmodning?
Has any request in that direction been made by the Cyprus authorities?
Har andre medlemsstater fået tildelt en sådan nedsættelse?
Have other Member States been granted such a reduction?

Om: Ulovlig import af fordærvet ost
Subject: Illegal imports of spoiled cheese
Fra journalistiske kilder har man erfaret, at der mellem Marokko og Spanien, nærmere betegnet mellem Ceuta og Algeciras, for tiden foregår ulovlig import af fordærvet ost fra visse østlande og Asien.
It has been reported in the press that illegal imports of spoiled cheese from some Eastern and Asian countries are being shipped between Morocco and Spain (via Ceuta and Algeciras).
Virksomhedsejerne i disse lande producerer nemlig en ost, der ikke opfylder EU's krav om hygiejne, sundhed og forarbejdning.
Some firms in the Eastern and Asian countries in question produce cheese which does not comply with the health, hygiene and processing standards imposed by the EU.
Dette mejeriprodukt skulle ofte være fuldstændigt fordærvet eller i bedste fald blandet med mindre mængder af frisk ost for at omgå kontrollen med ostens oprindelse.
It is reported that the products in question are often completely spoiled, or mixed with small amounts of fresh cheese to circumvent checks on the provenance of products.
Operationen finder sted ved hjælp af den såkaldte »parallelimport«, som gør det muligt for de udenlandske virksomhedsejer at »rense« ostens mærkeseddel og således omgå fødevarelovgivningens bestemmelser om mærkning af disse produkter.
The operation involves ‘triangulation’, which enables the foreign firms to ‘doctor’ the label on the cheese so as to evade the legislation on the origin of food products.
I betragtning af at det vigtigste formål med EU's fødevarelovgivning er at værne om og beskytte de europæiske forbrugeres sundhed og desuden at sikre en loyal og fri konkurrence, kan Kommissionen så kontrollere, om oplysningerne er pålidelige, og i bekræftende fald præcisere, hvilke nødforanstaltninger den agter at træffe?
As the main purpose of Community legislation on food is to protect the health of European consumers and ensure free and fair competition, would the Commission ascertain whether the reports in question are reliable and, if so, state what urgent measures it intends to take?
Mener Kommissionen i øvrigt ikke, at det er på sin plads at føre nøjere tilsyn med importen og de økonomiske aktiviteter, der finder sted via enklaven Ceuta?
Furthermore, does the Commission agree that it should carry out more careful checks of imports from, and economic activities involving, the enclave of Ceuta?

Om: Anerkendelse af højere titel af musikeksamen på 2. niveau
Subject: Recognition of Italian second-level degrees in music
Med lov nr. 508/99 har det italienske undervisningsministerium indført »den høje kunst- og musikuddannelse« (AFAM).
Under Law No 508/1999 the Italian Ministry of Education set up a system of ‘higher education in the arts and music’ (AFAM).
Denne lov har reorganiseret kunst- og musikuddannelserne ved at indføre musikeksamener på 1. og 2. niveau, der formelt har samme værdi som universitetseksamenerne, således som foreskrevet af den europæiske lovgivning på området.
The law reorganised art and music higher education courses by creating first- and second-level degrees officially recognised as equivalent to university degrees, in accordance with the relevant European legislation.
Loven foreskriver en opdeling i to kurser: musikeksamen på 1. niveau (femårig musikuddannelse) og musikeksamen på 2. niveau (toårig musikuddannelse).
Law No 508 provides for degree courses to be divided into two cycles or levels: the ‘first-level’ three-year degree in music (‘triennio di musica’) and the ‘second-level’ two-year degree in music (‘biennio di musica’).
Når den sidstnævnte studieperiode er afsluttet, opnår man en titel, der formelt er analog til de femårige uddannelser fra andre universitetsfakulteter.
A student who completes the second cycle of studies obtains a qualification which is officially recognised as equivalent to the five-year degrees awarded by other university faculties.
Imidlertid opstår problemet med den manglende fulde anerkendelse af de toårige kunst- og musikuddannelser, som ikke er omfattet af en korrekt anvendelse af artikel 2, stk. 5, i lov 508/99, der foreskriver anerkendelse af den højere titel med henblik på rangordenen til undervisningsopgaver og udvælgelsesprøver.
However, a problem still arises where two-year second-level degrees in art and music are not fully recognised due to failure to apply Article 2(5) of Law 508/1999, pursuant to which this qualification should be recognised for the purpose of admitting its holders to lists of candidates for teaching posts or to competitions for public-sector posts.
På dette punkt har Italien endnu ikke tilpasset sig den europæiske lovgivning, og i forbindelse med udvælgelsesprøverne kommer man derfor ud for den ubehagelige overraskelse, at en eksamen på 1. niveau bliver sidestillet med en eksamen på 2. niveau.
Italy is not yet fully compliant with European legislation in this respect and so candidates taking part in competitions have the unpleasant surprise of seeing their second-level degree regarded as equivalent to a first-level degree.
I øvrigt er undervisningen i de musikfag, der hører under en toårig musikuddannelse, overladt til lærere uden specialuddannelse.
Furthermore, teachers who do not themselves possess a postgraduate qualification are being required to teach courses forming part of the two-year second-level degree in music.
hvilke foranstaltninger der kan træffes for at harmonisere lovgivningen på området.
Would the Commission state what measures could be taken to standardise the relevant rules?

Om: Manglende mulighed for Albin Kurti fra bevægelsen Vetevendosje i Kosovo til at deltage i det femte Europæiske Sociale Forum i den svenske by Malmø
Subject: The impossibility for Albin Kurti, of the Kosovar movement Vetëvendosje, to attend the 5th European Social Forum in Malmö, Sweden
Er Rådet bekendt med, at det, den 18. september under det femte Europæiske Sociale Forum fra 17.-21. september 2008 i den svenske by Malmø, blev nødvendigt at aflyse et møde om Kosovo, fordi initiatoren, Albin Kurti, der er formand for bevægelsen Vetevendosje i Kosovo, og som kæmper for en udvikling af Kosovo uden særlig international involvering, på trods af at han var inviteret af den danske organisation STS International Solidarity, ikke fik lov til betræde svensk territorium?
Is the Council aware that, at the time of the 5th European Social Forum in Malmö, Sweden from 17 to 21 September 2008, a meeting concerning Kosovo which had been scheduled for 18 September had to be cancelled because the main speaker, Albin Kurti, leader of the Kosovar movement Vetëvendosje, which champions development of Kosovo without special international intervention, was not permitted to enter Swedish territory, despite having been invited to come by the Danish organisation STS International Solidarity?
Anser Rådet det for normalt, at Albin Kurti, efter at have fået nyt pas i Kosovo den 11. september, opsøgte den svenske ambassade i Skopje og meddelte, at en international konference var målet for hans besøg, derefter alligevel måtte betale 35 euro for et turistvisum, på grund af målet blev sendt til en anden bydel for at foretage en bankindbetaling til en værdi af 0,60 euro, efter tilbagekomsten til den svenske ambassade blev bedt om en skriftlig undskyldning for, at han havde udgivet sig for turist, efterfølgende i stedet for den scannede og underskrevne invitation skulle fremvise en original invitation plus dokumentation for, at han er med i Vetevendosje, hvorefter han må vende tilbage til Kosovo med uforrettet sag?
Does the Council consider it normal that on 11 September, when Albin Kurti went to the Swedish Embassy in Skopje after having obtained a new Kosovo passport and stated that the purpose of his visit was to attend an international conference, he was nonetheless required to pay EUR 35 for a tourist visa and, on account of that supposed purpose of visit, was sent to another part of town to make a bank payment of EUR 0.60, after which, upon his return to the Swedish Embassy, he was asked to write a letter of apology for having allegedly claimed to be a tourist, then, instead of the scanned invitation, bearing a signature, was expected to produce an original plus documentary evidence that he belonged to Vetëvendosje, after which he had to return to Kosovo without having achieved anything?
Kan Rådet forestille sig, at ovennævnte episode lader formode, at det aldrig havde været hensigten at udstede et visum til ham, og at alle de krævede handlinger var beregnet til at trække behandlingen ud til et tidspunkt, hvor konferencen ville være afsluttet, især fordi den danske organisation, som efterfølgende tilsendte den svenske ambassade i Skopje alle ønskede oplysninger, først fik at vide, at ambassaden ikke udsteder visum til Danmark, dernæst at Kurti skulle fremlægge en erklæring fra sin (ikkeeksisterende) arbejdsgiver og derefter igen blev bedt om en invitation?
Can the Council imagine that this course of events suggests that the Embassy never had any intention of giving him a visa and that all the actions required of him were intended only to delay matters until the conference was over, partly because the Danish organisation which subsequently provided the Swedish Embassy in Skopje with all the requested information was told first that the Embassy did not issue visas for Denmark and then that Kurti had to submit a declaration by his employer (although he had no employer), and an invitation was again requested?
Anser Rådet det for hensigtsmæssigt, at informationer fra Kosovo til medlemsstaterne ikke begrænser sig til informationer fra Kosovos regering og parlament, fra udenlandske organisationer, der arbejder i Kosovo, eller fra internationalt sammensatte organer, der arbejder i Kosovo i overgangsperioden mellem serbisk forvaltning og fuldgyldig uafhængighed, men også kan gives af oppositionsorganisationer, som har et andet syn på udviklingen end regeringen?
Does the Council consider it valuable that the information received from Kosovo in the EU Member States should not be confined to information provided by the Government and Parliament of Kosovo, foreign organisations working in Kosovo or bodies of international composition which have dealings with Kosovo during the transitional period between Serbian rule and full independence, but that opposition organisations whose views of developments differ from those of the government should also be able to provide their input?
Hvordan bidrager Rådet til at forhindre en gentagelse af ovennævnte episode?
What will the Council do to help prevent any repetition of such a series of events?
I henhold til punkt 2.2 i del V i de fælles konsulære instrukser til de diplomatiske og konsulære repræsentationer har de berørte medlemsstaters nationale myndigheder ansvaret for behandlingen af og afgørelser om visumansøgninger.
According to point 2.2 in Part V of the Common Consular Instructions on visas for diplomatic missions and consular posts, national authorities of the competent Member State are responsible for examining and deciding on a visa application.

In this context, the Council recalls that, in accordance with Article 211 of the TEC, it is for the Commission to ensure that Member States apply Community law.

Om: Statsstøttepolitik i Malawi
Subject: Policy on subsidies in Malawi
I 2005 kæmpede det afrikanske land Malawi med hungersnød.
In 2005, there was a famine in the African country Malawi.
Over 5 mio. mennesker havde behov for fødevarehjælp.
More than 5 million people needed food aid.
Nu eksporterer Malawi store mængder majs.
Now Malawi is exporting large quantities of maize.
I indeværende år skal der være høstet 2,6 mio ton majs, hvilket er en rekord.
This year, 2.6 million tons of maize was apparently harvested — a record figure.
I 2006 og 2007 bragte bønderne ca. tre gange så meget korn i hus som i 2005.
In 2006 and 2007, farmers harvested approximately three times as much grain as in 2005.
Årsagen til dette omsving er ifølge mange den statsstøtte, som Malawis regering har ydet til såsæd og kunstgødning.
Many commentators say that the reason for this sudden change of fortune lies in the subsidies granted by the Government of Malawi for seed and artificial fertiliser.
I 2006 besluttede Malawis daværende præsident, Bingu wa Mutharika, at levere store mængder kunstgødning til fattige bønder til en femtedel af markedsprisen.
In 2006 the then President of Malawi, Bingu wa Mutharika, decided to supply poor farmers with massive quantities of artificial fertiliser at one fifth of the market price.
Det internationale donorsamfund reagerede negativt på dette initiativ.
The international donor community was critical of this initiative.
