Om: Gebyrer for betalinger med kredit- og betalingskort
Subject: Charge on credit and debit card transactions
Forbrugerne er dog ikke altid klar over de gebyrer, hver enkelt transaktion udløser.
However, consumers are not always aware that a charge is made on each transaction, that charge being concealed in the purchase price.
Ifølge de oplysninger, jeg har indhentet, udgør gebyrerne for betjening af betalinger med kreditkort i Polen 1,3 % — 1,7 % af bruttotransaktioner for brændstof og op til 3 % for andre forbrugsgoder.
According to my information, in Poland the charge stands at 1.3-1.7 % gross on fuel transactions and 3 % for other consumer goods.
Gebyrerne i andre EU-lande er betydeligt lavere og udgør for eksempel 0,4 % — 0,9 % for brændstoffer i Tyskland.
In the other Member States, the charge is considerably lower (for example, 0.4-0.9 % on fuel purchases in Germany).
Gebyrstørrelsen afhænger af to elementer: interbankgebyr og nettofortjenstmargin, hvor interbankgebyr udgør næsten 90 % af gebyret.
The amount charged is dependent on two factors: the interchange fee and the net margin, with the interchange fee accounting for almost 90 % of the total.
Bankerne fastsætter i fællesskab interbankgebyrernes størrelse, hvilket krænker forbrugerlovgivningen og konkurrencereglerne.
The joint setting of interchange fees by banks is a violation of competition and consumer law.
Siden der er en begrundet mistanke om en aftale om minimumsstørrelsen på interbankgebyrer i Polen, vil jeg bede Kommissionen om at undersøge, hvorvidt en sådan ulovlig gebyraftale til skade for polske forbrugere finder sted.
In view of the concerns about possible agreements on the minimum rate for interchange fees in Poland, will the Commission ascertain whether rates are being jointly fixed to the detriment of Polish consumers?
Har Kommissionen til hensigt at træffe foranstaltninger for at beskytte de polske forbrugeres rettigheder?
Does it intend to take any steps to protect the interests of Polish consumers?

Om: Danske overpriser på dagligvarer
Subject: Excessive prices of everyday products in Denmark
Danskerne er et af de folk i EU, der må betale de højeste priser for deres dagligvarer.
Danes are one of the nations in the EU who have to pay the highest prices for their everyday products.
Det er ikke en nyhed.
This is nothing new.
Det er imidlertid helt uacceptabelt, at de socialt svagest stillede og danskerne i det hele taget skal betale hele 42 procent mere end borgerne i de andre EU-lande for helt almindelige dagligvarer.
However, it is totally unacceptable that the most socially deprived groups and Danes as a whole should pay as much as 42 % more than citizens in other Member States for completely ordinary everyday products.
Det kan jeg ikke acceptere.
It is an unacceptable situation.
Jeg vil derfor bede fødevareminister Eva Kjer Hansen om at tale med de store supermarkedskæder, så de forstår situationens alvor.
I would, therefore, ask the Danish Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, Eva Kjer Hansen, to speak to the major supermarket chains to clarify the seriousness of the situation.
Spørgeren har med tilfredshed noteret, at Kommissionen vil sætte spot på problemet med de alt for høje priser på fødevarer i de danske supermarkeder.
The author of this question has noted with satisfaction that the Commission wishes to highlight the problem of excessive prices of foods in Danish supermarkets.
Det er decideret rystende, at et kilo hvidt bagerbrød koster 15 kroner i gennemsnit i EU, mens det koster 35 kroner i Danmark.
It is quite appalling that a kilo of white bread costs, on average, Dkr 15 in the EU but Dkr 35 in Denmark.
Vil Kommissionen på denne baggrund oplyse, hvorledes – og hvornår – den agter at presse på for at få øget konkurrencen i de danske supermarkeder, idet dette må formodes at kunne presse de danske supermarkeder til at sænke priserne?
In the light of this situation, will the Commission say how — and when — it intends to bring pressure to bear to increase competition in Danish supermarkets since any such measures would presumably exert pressure on Danish supermarkets to lower their prices?

Om: Statsstøttet kinesisk konkurrence
Subject: State-aided competition from China
Det er et velkendt faktum, at kinesiske entreprenørvirksomheder med statsstøtte i ryggen på det europæiske marked er i stand til at underbyde lokale entreprenører, sådan som det allerede er sket flere steder i Afrika.
It is a well-known fact that Chinese contractors backed by state aid on the European market are in a position to undercut local contractors, as has already occurred in several places in Africa.
Vil Kommissionen på denne baggrund oplyse, om den agter at gribe ind over for denne udvikling og dermed sikre fair og lige konkurrencevilkår for virksomheder på det frie marked, og om Kommissionen på længere sigt helt vil lukke adgangen for statsstøttede virksomheder i udbudsrunder?
In the light of this situation, will the Commission say whether it will intervene to combat this development and thereby secure fair and equal terms of competition for firms on the free market and whether, in the long term, it will completely bar access for State-aided firms to tendering procedures?
Svar afgivet på Kommissionens vegne af Benita Ferrero-Waldner
Answer given by Mrs. Ferrero-Waldner on behalf of the Commission
Europa-Kommissionen er forpligtet til at sørge for åben og retfærdig handel.
The European Commission is committed to open and fair trade.
Men henblik herpå søger Kommissionen aktivt at åbne op for tredjelandenes markeder og at sikre, at de europæiske virksomheder har gennemsigtig og ikke-diskriminerende adgang til markederne for varer og tjenesteydelser.
To this end, the Commission is actively seeking the opening of third countries' markets and ensuring transparent and non-discriminatory access for European businesses to those markets for goods and services.
Samtidig griber Kommissionen ind, når internationalt indgåede handelsbestemmelser overtrædes, eller når der begås andre overtrædelser.
At the same time, the Commission intervenes when internationally agreed trade rules are infringed or when other infractions occur.
Hvad angår praksis i forbindelse med statsstøtte, er der indgået multilaterale aftaler med World Trade Organisation (WTO), og disse er nedskrevet i WTO-aftalen om subsidier og udligningsforanstaltninger, som finder anvendelse på handel med varer (men ikke tjenesteydelser).
As regards State-Aid practices, multilateral rules have been agreed in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and are laid down in the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing duties, which applies to trade in goods (but not to trade in services).
Når det ser ud til, at disse aftaler ikke er blevet overholdt af et WTO-medlem, vil Kommissionen ikke tøve med at undersøge sagen og træffe de rette foranstaltninger.
Where it would appear that these rules have not been respected by a WTO Member, the Commission would not hesitate to investigate the matter and take appropriate measures.
I denne forbindelse er det vigtigt at notere sig, at EU fortsat drøfter med WTO, hvordan der skal gribes ind over for handelsforvridning, der opstår på grund af subsidier, der påvirker handlen med tjenesteydelser, som krævet af artikel XV i den almindelige overenskomst om handel med tjenesteydelser.
In this respect, it is important to note that the EU is pursuing discussions in the WTO on how to address trade-distortions arising from subsidies affecting trade in services, as mandated by Article XV of the General Agreement on Trade in Services.
Desuden, hvad angår offentlige indkøb, hjemler EU‑bestemmelser (direktiv 2004/18/EF Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 2004/18/EF af 31. marts 2004 om samordning af fremgangsmåderne ved indgåelse af offentlige vareindkøbskontrakter, offentlige tjenesteydelseskontrakter og offentlige bygge- og anlægskontrakter, EUT L 134 af 30.4.2004. og direktiv 2004/17/EF Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 2004/17/EF af 31. marts 2004 om samordning af fremgangsmåderne ved indgåelse af kontrakter inden for vand- og energiforsyning, transport samt posttjenester (»forsyningsvirksomhedsdirektivet«), EUT L 134 af 30.4.2004. ), at indkøbere i EU kan bede tilbudsgivere i tredjelandene, herunder Kina, om at retfærdiggøre usædvanligt billige tilbud, og de kan afvise usædvanligt billige tilbud, når tilbudsgiverne ikke kan bevise, at statsstøtten, der forklarer den store prisforskel, er tildelt på lovlig vis.
Moreover, as regards public procurement, EU rules (Directive 2004/18/EC Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts, OJ L 134, 30.4.2004 . and Directive 2004/17/EC Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors, OJ L 134, 30.4.2004 . ) provide that that procuring EU entities can request bidders from third countries, including China, to justify abnormally low-priced tenders and to reject abnormally low-priced bids when bidders cannot demonstrate that the state aid that explains the price gap has been legally granted.

What steps has the Commission considered taking to further the prospects of Taiwan being able to participate fully in WTO cooperation?
Taiwan er et fuldgyldigt medlem af WTO under det officielle navn »Det Særskilte Toldområde Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen og Matsu (Kinesisk Taipei)« og som sådan i stand til at deltage i alle WTO’s aktiviteter på alle niveauer.
Taiwan is a full member of the WTO, under the official name of ‘Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei)’ and as such able to participate at all levels and in all activities of the WTO.
I løbet af de sidste 19 år har Kommissionen opbygget et fremragende bilateralt handelsrelateret samarbejde med Taiwan i begge parters interesse.
Over the past 19 years the Commission has developed an excellent bilateral, trade-related relationship with Taiwan, guided by a spirit of mutual interest and cooperation.
Kommissionen har samarbejdet med Taiwan på en række områder også i WTO-regi bl.a. i forbindelse med bestræbelserne på at nå til en hurtig afslutning af forhandlingerne om Dohaudviklingsdagsordenen (DDA).

Kommissionen er bekendt med artiklen »The Thermodynamic Atmosphere Effect — explained stepwise«.
The Commission is aware of the article entitled ‘The Thermodynamic Atmosphere Effect — explained stepwise’.
Kommissionen betragter forskning i klimaforandringer som en prioriteret opgave.
Research on climate change has been a key priority of the Commission.
Den finder det afgørende at forstå samspillet mellem jorden, mennesket og klimaet og støtter derfor foranstaltninger, som fremmer den videnskabelige viden om klimaforandringer i og uden for Europa.
The Commission believes that it is crucial to understand the earth-human-climate system and for that reason supports actions advancing the scientific knowledge on climate change in Europe and beyond.
I sin klimapolitik tager EU hensyn til de seneste videnskabelige resultater, der er offentliggjort i fagligt evaluerede tidsskrifter og vurderet af anerkendte internationale organer, som f.eks. FN's Klimapanel (IPCC), Den Meteorologiske Verdensorganisation (WMO) osv.
The EU policy on climate change takes into consideration the latest (state-of-the-art) scientific results and consensus as appears in peer-reviewed journals and assessed by recognised international bodies (such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), etc.).
Ifølge IPCC er der tungtvejende beviser for, at højere koncentrationer af drivhusgasser i atmosfæren har en betydelig indvirkning på jordens klimasystem.
According to the IPCC, there is convincing evidence that elevated atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations have a significant impact on the earth system.
IPCC-processen er udformet med henblik på at opnå det højest mulige niveau for international gennemsigtighed.
The IPCC process has been designed to have the highest possible level of international transparency.
Kommissionen tager hensyn til IPCC's konklusioner og de seneste videnskabelige resultater og har ikke til hensigt at ændre klimapolitikken på grundlag af konklusionerne i nævnte artikel.
The Commission takes into consideration the conclusions of the IPCC and late scientific results and does not intend to change its climate policy based on the said conclusions in the article.

Giver disse nye data Kommissionen anledning til at ændre grundlaget for sin klimapolitik?
Do these new data constitute a reason for the Commission to change the basis of its climate policy?
Der er almen videnskabelig enighed om, at menneskeskabte drivhusgasemissioner bidrager til klimaforandringer.
There is a broad scientific consensus that man-made greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change.
Den fjerde vurderingsrapport fra FN's Klimapanel (IPCC) skelner klart mellem naturlige udsving og menneskeskabte klimaforandringer.
The Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) distinguishes clearly between natural variation and man-made climate change.
Undersøgelsesresultaterne blev underkastet en streng videnskabelig vurdering af andre videnskabsfolk, før den blev medtaget i FN's klimarapporter.
These findings were exposed to a rigid scientific peer review before being included in the UN climate reports.
Derfor udgør IPCC's fjerde vurderingsrapport den mest autoritative kilde til videnskabelige oplysninger om klimaforandringer på verdensplan.
Therefore, the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report represents the most authoritative source of scientific information on climate change worldwide.
IPCC's fjerde vurderingsrapport konkluderer, at størstedelen af den konstaterede opvarmning siden midten af 1900-tallet højst sandsynligt, dvs. med over 90 % sikkerhed, skyldes menneskets emissioner af drivhusgasser.
The IPCC Fourth Assessment Report concludes that most of the observed warming since the mid‑20th century is very likely, i.e. a more than 90 % chance, due to human emissions of greenhouse gases.
Både de rummæssige mønstre og tendensen til opvarmning kan kun forklares ved de menneskeskabte emissioner.
Both the spatial patterns and trend of warming can only be explained by the inclusion of human emissions.
Som nævnt ovenfor er IPCC's konklusion baseret på en omfattende fagfællevurderet analyse med forskellige bevisførelser.
As outlined above, the IPCC’s conclusion is based on a comprehensive peer-reviewed analysis using several lines of evidence.
EU baserer sin klimapolitik på dette solide bevismateriale og følger fortsat med i de nyeste videnskabelige udviklinger.
The EU bases its climate policy on this solid evidence and is continuously following latest scientific developments.
Undersøgelser, der fulgte i kølvandet på IPCC's fjerde vurdering, har konsekvent underbygget dette bevisgrundlag eller endog styrket argumentet for hurtigt at sætte ind over for klimaforandringer.
Studies that followed the IPCC's Fourth Assessment have consistently supported this evidence base or even strengthened the case for urgent action against climate change.
Nej, de nævnte oplysninger i forespørgslen er for Kommissionen ikke nogen grund til at ændre klimapolitikken.
No, the data mentioned in the question does not constitute a reason for the Commission to change the basis for its climate policy.
Skulle der dukke nye data op, vil de blive underkastet en fagfællebaseret vurdering i IPCC's næste vurderingsrapport, der vil præcisere konsekvenserne af ny videnskabelig forskning.
Any new data will need to be peer-reviewed in the next IPCC Assessment Report which should clarify the implications of new scientific research.
