Kommissær Frits Bolkestein er blevet udpeget til at stå for ændringen af et eksisterende direktiv, der tillader medlemsstaterne at forhindre fusioner og opkøb af banker på tværs af grænserne.
The Commissioner Frits Bolkestein was given the task of organising the revision of an old directive allowing the Member States to block cross-border mergers and acquisitions of banks (cross-border mergers).
Kommissionens mål er at fremme oprettelsen af flere store europæiske bankkoncerner, men nogle centralbanker har udtrykt stor modstand mod dette, idet de ikke ønsker at give afkald på kontrollen med deres respektive kreditinstitutter.
The Commission’s aim to encourage the creation of large European banking groups will encounter strong resistance from a number of central banks, which will find it difficult not to assert their role as protectors of their countries’ banking systems.
Formanden for Den Europæiske Centralbank mener dog ikke, at fusioner på tværs af grænserne hindrer udøvelsen af det nationale tilsyn med bankerne, og han afviser dermed centralbankernes primære argument for at beholde vetoretten.
The President of the European Central Bank has maintained - thereby destroying the main argument used by central banks to uphold their power of veto - that cross-border mergers do not impede the exercise of national supervision.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at disse beføjelser forhindrer de europæiske banker i at nå en størrelse, der kan gøre dem mere konkurrencedygtige på verdensplan?

Om: Prisforskelle på ADSL for EU's borgere
Subject: Disparities in ADSL pricing for European citizens
Ifølge italiensk presse er der meget stor forskel på priserne for ADSL i de europæiske lande, selv om udbyderne er de samme.
The Italian press has reported that widely differing prices are charged for ADSL in different European countries, although the operators remain the same.
F.eks. tilbyder telefonselskaberne i Frankrig en ADSL-tilkobling for næsten det halve af prisen i Italien.
For example, in France telephone service operators provide an ADSL line for about half the price charged in Italy.
Det er den italienske reguleringsmyndighed for telekommunikation AGCOM, som godkender den engrospris for leje af linjerne, som udbyderne i Italien foreslår.
It is AGCOM, the national communications regulator, that approves the price of wholesale line rentals proposed by operators in Italy.
Hvilke foranstaltninger vil Kommissionen træffe for at bringe denne situation med åbenlyse prisforskelle for EU's borgere til ophør?
What steps will the Commission take to put an end to a situation of objective price disparity for European citizens?
Hvilke foranstaltninger vil Kommissionen træffe med henblik på at sanktionere monopoldannelser?
What steps will the Commission take to impose sanctions on the creation of monopolies?
Hvordan kan Fællesskabet gøre det muligt for borgere i én medlemsstat at få adgang til ADSL-tjenester fra en anden tilgrænsende medlemsstat?

Subject: Adulteration of butter in the EU
Kommissionen, til trods for at der den 22. oktober 2002 endnu ikke var blevet indledt nogen retsundersøgelser i Belgien (der erindres om, at smørforfalskningskartellet begyndte at operere i 1995, og at det blev afsløret på OLAF's pressekonference den 6. juli 2000) forklarede, at »det belgiske udbetalende organ i øjeblikket undersøgte mulighederne for at videregive disse oplysninger til de retslige myndigheder«, hvilket godtgjorde, at også de belgiske virksomheder da allerede nød godt at det samme privilegium med tavshedspligt som deres franske og italienske kolleger —
despite the fact that as at 22 October 2002 no legal investigations had yet begun in Belgium (the adulterated butter cartel began to operate in 1995 and was exposed by OLAF at a press conference on 6 July 2000), the Commission stated that the Belgian paying agency was ‘considering whether to pass [documents] on to the national judicial authorities’, which would justify the Belgian enterprises being covered by the same privilege of confidentiality as their French and Italian equivalents; —
der ikke blev givet nogen begrundelse for at opretholde tavshedspligten og undlade at foretage sig noget i forbindelse med de involverede tyske virksomheder.
no justification was given for maintaining confidentiality or not acting in the case of the German enterprises involved.
Kan Kommissionen bekræfte, at enhver virksomhed, der er genstand for retsundersøgelser i en medlemsstat, eller hvor man har til hensigt at foretage sådanne undersøgelser (år efter at begivenhederne har fundet sted) er undtaget fra enhver sanktion eller foranstaltning til beskyttelse af EU's økonomiske interesser?
Can the Commission confirm whether any of the enterprises being investigated by the legal authorities of a Member State or concerning which the intention to investigate may exist (years after the facts) enjoy exemption from any penalties or measures for the protection of the Communities' financial interests?
Mener Kommissionen, at den landmand, der på forhånd automatisk får en bøde for at producere mælk ud over sin referencemængde, behandles forholdsmæssigt og retfærdigt i forhold til den måde, som de i denne skandale involverede virksomheder behandles på?
Is it the Commission's opinion that a farmer who is fined automatically and pre-emptively for supposed production of cow's milk in excess of the reference quantity is being treated in a manner that is proportionate and fair vis-à-vis the enterprises involved in this scandal?

Administrationen i det amerikanske multinationale elektronikselskab Vichays fabrik i Portugal, der ligger i Vila Nova de Famalicão, har meddelt deres ansatte, at selskabet vil flytte 50% af produktionen til Indien og derfor ønsker at afskedige henved halvdelen af de ansatte.
The management of the Portuguese factory of the US electronics multinational Vichay, located in Vila Nova de Famalicão, has informed its workers that it is to relocate 50% of its production to India and that it intends to make about one-half of its employees redundant.
De ansatte frygter, at fabrikken på mellemlang sigt vil lukke, hvilket vil forværre arbejdsløsheden, der i forvejen en meget høj i det nordlige Portugal.
The workers fear that in the medium term the factory will close down, thus worsening the already very high unemployment rate in northern Portugal.
Fabikken har tidligere beskæftiget omkring 1.200 ansatte, men i øjeblikket har den kun ca. 270, fordi en del af produktionen allerede blev flyttet til Tjekkiet for henved fem år siden.
This factory formerly employed some 1200 workers, but now has only approximately 270, following partial relocation to the Czech Republic about five years ago.

Subject: Threats of war from a candidate country
Kommissionen vedtog den 6. oktober 2004, at der skal indledes optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet.
Yesterday (6 October 2004) the Commission announced that accession negotiations should be opened with Turkey.
Hvilket ansøgerland betragter det som »casus belli« og har officielt fremsat krigstrusler mod en af EU's medlemsstater i tilfælde af, at denne udøver sin ret i henhold til folkeretten (og mere konkret konventionen om retten til havet fra 1982) og udvider sine territorialfarvande til 12 sømil?
Which candidate country for accession has issued a public threat of war against an EU Member State because it considers the possibility of that Member State's exercising its right under international law (specifically the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea) and extending its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles to constitute a casus belli?
Hvilke af EU's medlemsstater har allerede gjort brug af denne ret, som folkeretten giver, og har fastsat sine territorialfarvande, som naturligvis også er Unionens territorialfarvande, til 12 (eller flere) sømil?
Which EU Member States have already exercised this right under international law and have territorial waters extending to 12 or more nautical miles, areas which are of course also territorial waters of the EU?
Hvorledes vurderer Rådet krigstruslerne mod en af EU's medlemsstater fra et land, der ansøger om medlemskab af EU?
What view does the Council take of the threats of war made against an EU Member State by a candidate country?
(3. marts 2005)
(3 March 2005)
Rådet er helt klar over det problem, det ærede parlamentsmedlem har påpeget.
The Council is fully aware of the problem raised by the Honourable Member.
Som bekendt kon­kluderede Det Europæiske Råd i 1999 i Helsingfors, at kandidatlandene, herunder Tyrkiet, skal dele Den Europæiske Unions værdier og mål som fastsat i traktaterne.
In 1999 the European Council in Helsinki concluded that candidate States – including Turkey – must share the values and objectives of the European Union as set out in the Treaties.
I den forbindelse understregede Det Europæiske Råd princippet om en fredelig bilæggelse af konflikter i overensstemmelse med FN-pagten og opfordrede kandidatlandene til at gøre deres yderste for at løse eventuelle udestående grænsekonflikter og andre problemer i forbindelse hermed.
In this respect the European Council stressed the principle of peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with the United Nations Charter and urged candidate States to make every effort to resolve any outstanding border disputes and other related issues.
Hvis dette ikke lykkes, bør de inden for en rimelig tid forelægge konflikten for Den Internationale Domstol.
Failing this they should within a reasonable time bring the dispute to the International Court of Justice.
Kommissionen har derfor i sin henstilling for nylig vedrørende Tyrkiets fremskridt mod tiltrædelse erklæret, at udsigten til tiltrædelse burde føre til bedre bilaterale forbindelser mellem Tyrkiet og dets naboer efter det princip om forsoning, som EU bygger på.
The Commission, in its recent recommendation on Turkey's progress towards accession, has stated that the prospect of accession should lead to improving bilateral relations between Turkey and its neighbours, in line with the principle of reconciliation on which the EU is founded.
Der er i denne periode indledt en tilnærmelsespolitik mellem Grækenland og Tyrkiet, som har ført til undertegnelsen af bilaterale aftaler og vedtagelse af en række tillidsskabende foranstaltninger.
A policy of rapprochement between Greece and Turkey was initiated at that time which led to the signature of bilateral agreements and to the adoption of several confidence-building measures.
Der blev i 2002 indledt sonderende kontakter mellem de to parter.
Exploratory talks between the two parties started in April 2002.
Endelig henviser Rådet det ærede parlamentsmedlem til de relevante afsnit i de konklusioner, som Det Europæiske Råd vedtog på mødet den 16.-17. december 2004.
The Council would also invite the Honourable Member to refer to the relevant paragraphs of the conclusions of the European Council, adopted at its meeting on 16 and 17 December 2004.

Kommissionen slog i sin meddelelse om partnerskabsaftaler til lyd for en politik med henblik på at støtte Fællesskabets fiskerisektor i tredjelande og nævnte i den forbindelse udtrykkeligt muligheden for at oprette blandede selskaber.
In its communication on partnership agreements, the Commission advocated a policy of assisting the Community fishing sector in third countries, specifically mentioning the possibility of setting up joint ventures.
Kommissionen overskrider imidlertid systematisk fristerne for at reagere på projekter forelagt af blandede selskaber.
However, the Commission has been systematically failing to observe the deadlines for issuing a response regarding the joint venture projects submitted.
Disse forsinkelser har alvorlige følger for EU's redere.
This delay is seriously harming Community shipowners.
Kommissionens gennemsnitlige besvarelsesfrist er på otte måneder.
On average, it takes the Commission 8 months to reply.
Endvidere har manglen på en gennemførelsesforordning medført den usædvanlige situation, at nogle sager godkendes og andre ikke, desuagtet at bestemmelseslandet og vilkårene i øvrigt er identiske.
Furthermore, the absence of an implementing regulation results in anomalies, such as the fact that some projects are approved and others not even though the country of destination and the conditions are the same.

Om: Forsinkelse i behandlingen af projekter med blandede selskaber
Subject: Delays in the examination of joint venture projects
I de seneste måneder har nogle medlemsstater indgivet ansøgning til Kommissionen om godkendelse af projekter med blandede selskaber, der lokalt vil medføre oprettelse af forarbejdningsindustrier og et pænt antal arbejdspladser.
In the past few months, some Member States have submitted requests to the Commission for the approval of joint ventures, which would mean the creation locally of a processing industry and a large number of jobs.
Projekterne vil endvidere medføre, at nogle fiskerfartøjer udgår af Fællesskabets register og overføres til et tredjeland, der ligesom Fællesskabets respekterer de internationalt vedtagne fiskeribegrænsninger.
This would also involve the transfer of some fishing vessels from the Community register to third countries that, like the Community, respect the internationally adopted fishing effort restrictions.
Et af de indsendte projekter er efter de oplysninger, jeg har fået, blevet afvist, fordi Kommissionen ikke mente, at det gav en tilstrækkelig stor reduktion af fiskeriindsatsen i det pågældende område.
According to information I have received, one of the projects submitted was rejected because the Commission judged that there had not been a sufficient reduction in fishing effort in this area.
I betragtning af at de nationale myndigheder garanterer en effektiv reduktion på mindst 20% ,og der gives tilsagn om, at denne kvote ikke vil blive anvendt af andre EF-fiskerfartøjer, kan Kommissionen da oplyse, hvor stor en reduktion der er nødvendig, for at Kommissionen kan godkende denne form for anmodninger?
Given that the national authorities guarantee a reduction in practice of at least 20%, with a promise that there will be no reuse in favour of other Community vessels, can the Commission indicate what level of reduction is required for it to accept this kind of request?

Om: Bilsynsproblemer med privatbiler, der er købt som brugtbiler
Subject: Problems concerning roadworthiness testing for private motor vehicles bought second-hand
Hvorledes er det muligt, at der i en situation, der i øjeblikket betegnes som »forbrugers marked«, stadig findes så store forskelle med hensyn til harmonisering af bilsyn?
How is it possible that, in conditions currently portrayed as ‘user friendly’, such large discrepancies continue to exist in terms of the harmonisation of roadworthiness tests for vehicles?
Et aktuelt eksempel: En fransk statsborger køber en brugtbil hos et værksted i Tyskland og sender den gennem det tyske bilsyn (Technischer Überwachungsverein: TÜV).
Take the following recent example: a French citizen buys a second-hand car from a garage in Germany and submits the vehicle to the German roadworthiness test body (Technischer Überwachungsverein: TÜV).
En uge senere og denne gang i Frankrig er den stakkels borger nødt til - selv med TÜV-certifikatet i hånden - endnu en gang at sende bilen gennem bilsynet, denne gang det franske, for at få udleveret et gråt kort (som gør det lovligt, at bilen kører i trafikken).
Eight days later, this time in France, despite having obtained a TÜV certificate, the unfortunate purchaser must again submit his vehicle to the French roadworthiness test body in order to obtain a ‘carte grise’ (a certificate allowing the vehicle to be driven on public roads).
Situationen er den samme, om ikke værre i Italien, Spanien eller Grækenland.
The situation is similar, if not worse, in Italy, Spain or Greece.
Derfor må det siges at være på høje tid, at det sker en virkelig harmonisering på dette område og indføres et europæisk bilsyn, så det undgås, at man ved køb af en bil i et andet EU-land skal betale to, ja endog tre gange.
It is, therefore, high time for genuine harmonisation to be introduced in this area with the creation of a European roadworthiness test body in order to avoid the need for a buyer to pay twice or even three times when purchasing a car in another EU country.
