Husker Rådet, at Europa-Parlamentet den 23. april 2008 i sin fremskridtsrapport (2007/2268/INI) udtalte, at denne status skal føre til forhandlinger, hvor Rådet i løbet af 2008 skulle have truffet beslutning om en dato for starten tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne?
Does the Council recall that on 23 April 2008 the European Parliament in its progress report (2007/2268/INI) stated that this status should lead to negotiations and the Council should take a decision during 2008 on a date for the start of accession negotiations?
Er det Rådet bekendt, at den 21. januar 2009 udtalte Europa-Parlamentets Udvalg om Udenlandske Anliggender, at inden for nærværende år ønskes en beslutning taget, og det må kunne forventes, at en af Europa-Parlamentets første plenarforsamlinger skulle kunne bekræfte denne udtalelse?
Is the Council aware that on 21 January 2009 the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) stated that a decision during the current year, 2009 would be desirable, and it may be expected that one of the next European Parliament part-sessions will confirm this statement?
Har Rådet til hensigt efter en sådan gentagen udtalelse fra Europa-Parlamentet allerede i løbet af formandskaberne i det første eller andet halvår af 2009 at træffe beslutning om denne sag?
Does the Council intend, following repeated statements by the European Parliament, to take a decision on this matter during the Presidencies in the first or second half of 2009?
Anser Rådet det for muligt at træffe en sådan beslutning før november 2009, også uden at der forinden igen kommer en udtalelse i den førstkommende årlige fremskridtsrapport fra Kommissionen, henset til det faktum at i slutningen af 2008 lå de væsentligste årsager til udtalelsen fra Kommissionen i det faktum, at det tidligere, den 1. juni 2008, var blevet forsøgt i en række stemmelokaler at forstyrre parlamentsvalgene, og dette var udført af personer, som troede det var muligt således at ændre det endelige resultat af disse valg til deres fordel?
Does the Council think such a decision could be taken before November 2009, thus it should not again be left until after an opinion in the Commission’s next annual progress report, in particular because at the end of 2008 the main reason for the Commission’s opinion that a decision should be delayed until after the local and presidential elections in March 2009 was that on 1 June 2008 efforts to disrupt the parliamentary elections were made in a number of polling stations by people who wrongly thought that it was thus possible to change the final election results in their favour?
Anser Rådet det for muligt eller sandsynligt, at tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne med andre stater, som har ansøgt eller ønsker at ansøge om medlemskab på et senere tidspunkt, såsom (i alfabetisk rækkefølge) Bosnien-Hercegovina, Island, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro eller Serbien, vil starter førend med Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien?
Does the Council consider it possible or likely that the accession negotiations with other states that applied at a later period or that will apply for EU membership, such as (in alphabetical order) Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iceland, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro or Serbia, will begin earlier than the negotiations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia?
Hvis Rådet ikke har til hensigt inden for kort tid at træffe en beslutning om starten på forhandlingerne, hvordan undgår De da, at kandidatstatussen mister sin betydning, når denne i praksis ikke synes at føre til de forventede forhandlinger om faktisk tiltrædelse?
If the Council does not intend to take a decision in the short term on starting negotiations, how can it prevent candidate status losing its significance because in practice it does not prove to lead to the expected negotiations on actual accession?
Rådet henviser til Det Europæiske Råds konklusioner fra december 2005 og juni 2008.
The Council recalls the European Council conclusions of December 2005 and of June 2008.
Det Europæiske Råds beslutning i december 2005 om at give Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien status som kandidatland blev truffet i overensstemmelse med de normale procedurer, og især i lyset af Kommissionens udtalelse om Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedoniens ansøgning om EU-medlemskab.
The decision by the European Council in December 2005 to grant candidate-country status to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was taken in line with the normal procedures, and in particular in light of the opinion from the Commission on the application by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for EU membership.
Rådet har ikke truffet nogen beslutning om at indlede tiltrædelsesforhandlinger med Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien.
The Council has not taken any decision to open accession negotiations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
En sådan beslutning vil blive taget i overensstemmelse med de normale procedurer.
Any such decision would be taken in line with the normal procedures.
Det vil ikke være rigtigt af Rådet at spekulere om tidspunktet for en sådan beslutning eller om beslutninger vedrørende eventuelle andre tiltrædelsesforhandlinger.
It would not be appropriate for the Council to speculate on the timing of any such decision, nor on any decisions relating to other possible accession negotiations.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0674/09
Om: Forbud mod anvendelse af bly
Subject: Banning the use of lead
Det er bevist videnskabeligt, at bly er et giftigt tungmetal, der ophobes i natur og mennesker og er skadeligt for nervesystemet.
It has been scientifically proven that lead is a toxic heavy metal which accumulates in the environment and in the human body and is harmful to the nervous system.
Da børns nervesystem er under udvikling, er børn særligt følsomme over for påvirkninger, og amerikanske undersøgelser har vist at bly — selv i ekstremt små mængder — kan påvirke børns indlæringsevne og intelligens.
Since children’s nervous systems are still developing, they are particularly vulnerable to its effects, and American studies have shown that lead — even in extremely small quantities — can affect children’s learning ability and intelligence.
Bly kan desuden påvirke fertiliteten og være kræftfremkaldende ligesom det også er giftigt for vand og jordorganismer.
Lead can also impair fertility, can be carcinogenic, and is toxic to organisms in the water and soil.
Da bly ophobes i naturen, vil det ud fra en langtidssigtet betragtning være bedst om man begrænsede den samlede mængde af bly, der florerer i samfundet mest muligt.
Since lead accumulates in the environment it would be best from a long-term perspective to limit as far as possible the total amount of lead in circulation in our society.
Et eksempel herpå er ved inddækning af tage, hvor adskillige producenter af alternative løsninger (flere i Tyskland, en i Danmark, en i England og en i Holland) allerede udvider produktionen.
One example is roofing materials, where various producers of alternative solutions (several in Germany and one each in Denmark, Britain and Holland) are already expanding their production.
De oplever stigende efterspørgsel dels pga. produkternes performance, dels som følge af et tilsyneladende holdningsskift til anvendelsen af bly og en forventning om et fremtidigt forbud.
They are experiencing growing demand, partly owing to the performance of the products and partly as a result of an apparent shift in attitudes to the use of lead and expectations of a future ban.
Ydermere kan det nævnes, at der eksempelvis er forbud mod at bruge bly som taginddækningsmateriale i Staten Queensland i Australien, og at det samme pt. overvejes i Californien, USA.
A ban on the use of lead in roofing materials is already in place in Queensland (Australia), for example, and is being considered in California (USA).
Med udgangspunkt i ovenstående samt forsigtighedsprincippet ønsker jeg at spørge Kommissionen: —
In the light of the above, and of the precautionary principle, I should like to ask the Commission: —
Hvordan forholder Europa-Kommissionen sig til at udvide den eksisterende regulering til et generelt forbud mod anvendelsen af bly?
How does the Commission feel about extending the existing legislation so that there is an overall ban on the use of lead?
Hvis afvisende, hvad er baggrunden for at opretholde tilladelsen til brug af bly? —
If it is not in favour, what are its reasons for continuing to permit the use of lead? —
Hvad er Europa-Kommissionens holdning til konklusionerne i den risikovurdering, som bly-industrien frivilligt har påtaget sig at udføre, og kan Europa-Kommissionen redegøre for status i den proces? —
How does the Commission react to the conclusions of the risk assessment which the lead industry has voluntarily agreed to undertake and can the Commission state what stage this exercise has reached? —
Hvilke konkrete planer har Europa-Kommissionen for fortsat at begrænse tabet af bly i omgivelserne, udover den eksisterende lovgivning?
What concrete plans does the Commission have to restrict still further the release of lead into the environment, above and beyond the existing legislation?
(25. maj 2009)
(25 May 2009)
Inden for rammerne af Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 793/93 Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 793/93 af 23. marts 1993 om vurdering af og kontrol med risikoen ved eksisterende stoffer ( EFT L 84 af 5.4.1993 ). har industrien gennemført en frivillig risikovurdering af bly og blyforbindelser.
Within the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances, OJ L 84, 5.4.1993. , a voluntary risk assessment has been performed by industry on lead and lead compounds.
I risikovurderingen konkluderes det, at det er nødvendigt at begrænse risikoen for specifikke situationer vedrørende forbrugere, arbejdstagere og miljøet.
The risk assessment concludes that there is a need for limiting the risk for specific situations concerning consumers, workers and the environment.
Den Videnskabelige Komité for Sundheds- og Miljørisici (SCHER) afgav en udtalelse om risikovurderingen den 13. januar 2009.
The Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER) adopted an opinion on the risk assessment on 13 January 2009.
SCHER støtter konklusionerne, hvad menneskers sundhed angår, men komitéen mener, at der fortsat hersker usikkerhed om miljøafsnittet i risikovurderingen, og at den frivillige risikovurdering for miljøafsnittet bør betragtes som et endnu ikke afsluttet arbejde.
The SCHER supports the conclusions in as far as human health is concerned, but is of the opinion that uncertainties remain for the environmental part of the risk assessment and that the voluntary risk assessment for the environmental compartment should be considered as a work in progress.
Det skal dog bemærkes, at Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 793/93 i mellemtiden er blevet ophævet og afløst af REACH-forordningen Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1907/2006 af 18. december 2006 om registrering, vurdering og godkendelse af samt begrænsninger for kemikalier (REACH) (EUT L 396 af 30.12.2006). .
However, it should be noted that in the meantime Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 was repealed and replaced by the REACH Regulation Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), OJ L 396, 30.12.2006. .
Da bly og blyforbindelser ikke er blevet udpeget som prioriterede stoffer efter Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 793/93, finder overgangsforanstaltningerne for sådanne »prioriterede stoffer«, jf. artikel 136 i REACH, ikke anvendelse.
As lead and lead compounds have not been identified as priority substances under Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93, the transitional measures applying to such ‘priority substances’ , based on Article 136 of REACH, do not apply.
Det betyder navnlig, at den medlemsstat, der var ansvarlig for undersøgelsen af den frivillige risikovurdering ifølge den foregående forordning, ikke er forpligtet til at fremlægge et midlertidigt dossier for at afslutte risikovurderingen og i det foreliggende tilfælde en strategi for at begrænse risikoen.
This means notably that the Member State who was in charge of reviewing the voluntary risk assessment conducted under the previous regulation is not obliged to submit a transitional dossier to finalise the risk assessment and in this particular case, the strategy for limiting the risk.
REACH er baseret på princippet om, at producenter, importører og downstream-brugere skal sørge for, at fremstilling, markedsføring og brug af stoffer ikke ugunstigt påvirker menneskers sundhed eller miljøet.
REACH is based on the principle that manufacturers, importers and downstream users shall ensure that the manufacture, placing on the market and use of substances shall not adversely affect human health or the environment.
Som en del af registreringsproceduren skal registranten dokumentere, at stoffer kan bruges sikkert med hensyn til menneskers sundhed og miljøet.
As part of the registration procedure, the registrant is required to document that substances can be used in a safe manner, with regard to human health and the environment.
Fristen for registrering af stoffer som bly og blyforbindelser, der produceres i eller importeres til EU i mængder på over 1 000 tons om året pr. producent eller importør af stoffer, der er kræftfremkaldende, mutagene eller reproduktionstoksiske (CMR) og produceres i eller importeres til EU i mængder på over 1 ton, er den 30. november 2010.
The deadline for the registration of substances like lead and lead compounds, which are manufactured in or imported into the EU in quantities above 1 000 tonnes per year and per manufacturer or importer, or which are carcinogen, mutagen or toxic to reproduction (CMRs) manufactured in or imported into the EU in quantities above 1 tonne, is 30 November 2010.
Industrien skal således inden nævnte dato dokumentere, at produktion, markedsføring og brug af bly kontrolleres i tilstrækkeligt omfang som led i registreringsdossiererne, gennemføre foranstaltninger til afhjælpning af de risici, der er udpeget i den frivillige risikovurdering, og overveje at træffe foranstaltninger med henblik på de miljørisici, der endnu ikke er identificeret fuldt ud.
Thus, industry will need to document by this date that the production, placing on the market and use of lead is adequately controlled as part of their registration dossiers, implementing measures to address the risks identified in the voluntary risk assessment and considering taking measures to account for the risks for the environmental compartment not yet fully identified.
Hvis en medlemsstat eller Kommissionen mener, at fremstilling, markedsføring eller brug af et stof som sådan, i et kemisk produkt eller i en artikel medfører en risiko for menneskers sundhed eller miljøet, som ikke er tilstrækkeligt kontrolleret, kan der udarbejdes et begrænsningsdossier i henhold til bilag XV til REACH.
If a Member State or the Commission considers that the manufacture, placing on the market or use of a substance on its own, in a preparation or in an article poses a risk to human health or the environment that is not adequately controlled, a restrictions dossier in accordance with Annex XV of REACH can be prepared.
For tiden er bly og blyforbindelser, som vurderet i den frivillige risikovurdering, ikke opført i det hensigtsregister, som offentliggøres på Det Europæiske Kemikalieagenturs (ECHA) websted, og hvor interesserede parter kan informere sig om, hvilke stoffer myndighederne påtænker at fremlægge restriktionsdossierer for.
Currently lead and lead compounds, as assessed in the voluntary risk assessment, are not listed in the registry of intentions, which is published on the website of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and which allows interested parties to be informed of the substances for which the authorities intend to submit restrictions dossiers.
Ifølge REACH kan Kommissionen også anmode ECHA om at udarbejde et begrænsningsdossier med henblik på at indføre yderligere begrænsninger af fremstilling, import og markedsføring af bly.
Under REACH also the Commission can ask the ECHA to develop a restrictions dossier with the aim to introduce further restrictions on the manufacturing, importing or placing on the market of lead.
Kommissionen har også mulighed for at foreslå bly som et stof, der volder stor bekymring og derfor skal godkendes.
It is also possible for the Commission to nominate lead as a substance of very high concern and hence as a candidate for authorisation.
Hvilken af de to fremgangsmåder, der er mest hensigtsmæssig netop for bly, eller om ingen af dem er nødvendige, vil Kommissionen vurdere i 2011 på grundlag af registreringsdossiererne.
Which of the two routes, if any of them is needed, is the most appropriate for this particular substance at stake will be assessed by the Commission in 2011 on the basis of the registration dossiers.

Om: Appel om løsladelse af forfatteren Charis Nikolaidis, der er af cypriotisk oprindelse, fra thailandsk fængsel
Subject: Appeal for release of Harry Nicolaides, an ethnic Cypriot writer imprisoned in Thailand
Charis Nikolaidis, australsk statsborger med cypriotisk oprindelse, har nu været tilbageholdt i fængsler i Thailand i seks måneder under kummerlige forhold i en celle med 57 medfanger.
Harry Nicolaides, an ethnic Cypriot Australian national, has been held in prison for six months in Thailand under abominable conditions, sharing a cell with 57 other inmates.
Charis Nikolaidis har aldrig tidligere været indblandet i retsvæsnet i Thailand, som han ofte har besøgt, og hvor han underviste i engelsk på et universitet i byen Chiang Mai og skrev artikler til lokale aviser.
He has had no previous dealings with justice in Thailand, which he regularly visits, teaching English at the Chiang Mai University and writing articles for local newspapers.
Han blev anholdt i august 2008 i Bangkoks lufthavn, mens han var ved at rejse ud af landet og uden at vide, at der var udstedt en fængslingskendelse på ham.
He was arrested in August 2008 at Bangkok Airport as he was about to leave the country, unaware that a warrant had been out for his arrest since March 2008.
Hans familie og humanitære organisationer i forskellige lande har rettet en appel om løsladelse.
Appeals for his release have been made by his family and by humanitarian organisations from different countries.
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen at træffe for at få Charis Nikolaidis løsladt, idet anklagen mod ham i mange lande ikke engang anses for at være en lovovertrædelse for borgerlig ret?
What measures will the Commission take with a view to securing the release of Harry Nicolaides, given that in many countries the charges against him would not even warrant civil proceedings?
Hvorledes bedømmer den menneskerettighedssituationen i dette land?
What view does it take of the human rights situation in Thailand?
Indgår menneskerettighederne som en del af de forhandlinger, som EU fører med Thailand for at få underskrevet en partnerskabs- og samarbejdsaftale?

Om: Samspillet mellem internationale handelsregler og EF-lovgivningen: regler om forsvarsmidler imod protektionistiske indkøbspolitikker i tredjelande
Subject: Interaction between international trade rules and EC law: rules on means of defence against protectionist procurement policies in third countries
Ved underskrivelsen af Verdenshandelsorganisationens aftale om offentlige indkøb af 15. april 1994 (AOI) skrev Det Europæiske Fællesskab også under på de generelle noter og undtagelser fra bestemmelserne i artikel III i tillæg I (»EF's generelle noter og undtagelser«).
When signing the World Trade Organisation Agreement on Government Procurement dated 15 April 1994 (‘AGP’), the European Community also signed General Notes and Derogations from the provisions of Article III of Appendix I (the ‘EC General Notes and Derogations’).
I denne tekst hedder det: »EF lader ikke [AOI-aftalens] fordele gælde for« kontrakter, der tildeles leverandører og tjenesteydere fra Canada (vand, elektricitet, lufthavne, havne og bytransport), USA (vand, lufthavne og bytransport), Japan (elektricitet og bytransport), Korea (lufthavne) og Israel (bytransport), »før EF finder det godtgjort, at de berørte parter giver tilsvarende og effektiv adgang for EF-virksomheder til de relevante markeder«.
This text states that: ‘the European Community will not extend the benefits of [the AGP agreement]’ concerning contracts awarded to the suppliers and service providers of Canada (water, electricity, airports, ports and urban transport), the USA (water, airports and urban transport), Japan (electricity and urban transport), Korea (airports) and Israel (urban transport), ‘until such time as the EC has accepted that the Parties concerned give comparable and effective access for EC undertakings to the relevant markets’.
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 gennemfører ikke bestemmelserne i EF's ovennævnte generelle noter og undtagelser i EF-lovgivningen.
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 does not transpose the provisions of the said EC General Notes and Derogations into EC law.
Kan ordregivere (dvs. offentlige virksomheder og andre operatører, der er omfattet af direktiv 2004/17/EF) i denne forbindelse direkte anvende de undtagelser, der er fremsat i EF's generelle noter og undtagelser, og som følge heraf udelukke leverandører og tjenesteydere fra de lande, der ikke giver tilsvarende og effektiv adgang for EF-virksomheder til deres markeder, fra procedurer for indgåelse af aftaler inden for vand- og energiforsyning og inden for transportsektoren?
That being so, can contracting entities (i.e. public undertakings and other operators covered by Directive 2004/17/CE) directly apply the derogations set out in the EC General Notes and Derogations, and subsequently exclude from procurement procedures taking place in the water, energy and transport sectors, suppliers and service providers of those countries where EC undertakings are not given comparable and effective access to their markets?
