Den ulykke, der fandt sted med det catalanske skib Montfalcó den 2. juni 2007, hvor dette skib efter at have reddet nogle illegale indvandrere var tæt på at lide skibbrud i de internationale farvande mellem Malta og Libyen, efter at disse to lande havde nægtet skibet deres hjælp, viste dog, hvor store vanskeligheder der er forbundet med en fællesskabsforvaltning i internationale farvande af redningsaktioner og opsamling af indvandrere, der ikke har flygtningestatus, på grund af den komplekse internationale lovgivning og en manglende aftale mellem medlemsstaterne.
However, the events of 2 June 2007 surrounding the Catalan vessel Montfalcó which, after having rescued a group of illegal immigrants almost sank in the international waters between Malta and Libya owing to those States' refusal to come to its aid, have highlighted the difficulty of managing at Community level operations in international waters to rescue and cater for immigrants without refugee status, owing to the complexity of international law and the lack of agreement between the Member States.
Vil Kommissionen i lyset heraf undersøge muligheden for f.eks. at tilføje en klausul i de associeringsaftaler, som EU har indgået med tredjelande, for i fremtiden at undgå sådanne dramatiske situationer, når det gælder redning og opsamling af indvandrere?
In this respect, will the Commission consider, for example, including an additional clause in association agreements signed with third countries aimed at preventing the reoccurrence of events as tragic as these when it comes to rescuing and catering for immigrants?
Mener Kommissionen, at det vil være en fordel at gå videre med forhandlingerne om indgåelsen af en associeringsaftale mellem EU og Libyen?
Does it feel that negotiations with Libya to establish an association agreement should be stepped up?
Er Kommissionen ikke af den opfattelse, at medlemsstaterne uafhængigt af, hvem farvandene tilhører, burde hjælpe de mennesker, hvis liv er i fare?
Does the Commission not consider that, regardless of the territorial ownership of the waters, Member States should lend assistance when people's lives are in danger?
Påtænker Kommissionen at iværksætte sanktioner over for de medlemsstater, der nægter at yde hjælp i sådanne tilfælde?
Will it consider the possibility of imposing penalties on Member States that refuse to provide assistance in such circumstances?
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at det er nødvendigt straks at tilføje en særlig klausul i bestemmelserne om Fonden for De Ydre Grænser eller i bestemmelserne om Den Europæiske Tilbagesendelsesfond, så man tager højde for nødvendigheden af at modtage indvandrerne og om nødvendigt give dem materiel støtte samt lægehjælp og psykologhjælp?
Does it not feel there is a need immediately to incorporate into the rules relating to the European External Border Fund and the European Return Fund a specific clause that takes into account the need to receive immigrants and, if necessary, to provide them with material assistance and medical and psychological care?

What is the position of a male constituent of mine who is a UK citizen married to a Russian doctor with a daughter from her first marriage and their own child about to be born?
Familien har opholdstilladelse i Det Forenede Kongerige, hvilket i henhold til artikel 5.2. betyder, at de ikke er forpligtede til at søge visa for at besøge andre EU‑lande.
The family has a residency permit for the UK which means, under Article 5.2, that they should not be required to obtain a visa to visit other EU countries.
Dette overholdes ikke, og konsulaterne kræver stadig, at de skal ansøge om visa.
This is not being observed; consulates are still requiring them to obtain a visa.
Luftfartsselskaberne afkræver dem også fødselsattester og kontoudtog, når de skal reservere flybilletter.

Om: Kommissionens holdning til spørgsmålet om navnet FYROM i Det Europæiske Genopbygningsagentur (EAR)
Subject: The Commission's point of view on the issue of the name FYROM in the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR)
I 2005 bekendtgjorde EAR i Makedonien en konkurrence med emnet »Støtte til minoriteters rettigheder/aktiviteter«.
In 2005, EAR for Macedonia announced a competition on the topic ‘Support of minority rights/activities’.
Projektet »Magtdeling — en ny model til beslutningstagning i de multikulturelle kommuner i Makedonien« blev udvalgt, og den 15.08.2005 blev der underskrevet en aftale mellem »Action for Democratic Initiative from Gostivar« (ADI) som ledende organisation og Luigi Sandrin, direktør for EAR, om finansieringen af projektet med ovennævnte titel.
The project: ‘Power-Sharing — a New Model of Decision-Making in the Multicultural Municipalities in Macedonia’ was selected, and on 15 August 2005 an agreement was signed between Action for Democratic Initiative from Gostivar (ADI), as a leading organisation, and Luigi Sandrin, EAR Director, for financing the project under the abovementioned title.
Adskillige måneder efter at iværksættelsen af projektet var påbegyndt, den 16. marts 2006, ændrede Luigi Sandrin betingelserne for aftalen.
Several months after the realisation of the project had started, on 16 March, 2006, Mr Luigi Sandrin changed the conditions of the agreement.
Han sendte nemlig et notat til alle partnere, der har indgået aftale med EAR.
Namely, he sent a ‘Note to all partners that have concluded an agreement with EAR’.
Notatets emne: »Brug af navnet på Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien«.
The subject of the note: ‘Use of the name of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’.
I notatet meddeler Luigi Sandrin ADI, at det eneste navn, der kan anvendes, er »former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia« — »Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien« (på engelsk med lille »f« og lille »o« og kun med store bogstaver i begyndelsen af en sætning) i overensstemmelse med FN's Sikkerhedsråds beslutning 817/1993 og FN's Generalforsamlings beslutning 225/1993.
In the note, Mr Sandrin informs ADI that the only denomination that can be used is ‘Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’ (with a small ‘f’ and a small ‘o’ and with capital letters only in the beginning of the sentence), in accordance with Resolution 817/1993 of the UN Security Council and Resolution 225/1993 of the UN General Assembly.
Længere nede i brevet siger han, at navnet »Republikken Makedonien« eller »Makedonien« ikke må anvendes, til trods for at det er det officielle navn, som landet selv bruger, og at alle dokumenter fra Skopje (breve, rapporter osv.) vil henvise til det med dette navn og til trods for Udenrigsudvalgets (AFET) holdning til navnespørgsmålet.
Later on in the letter, he says: ‘The name “Republic of Macedonia” or “Macedonia” is not be used, notwithstanding the fact that it is the official denomination used by the country itself and that all documents from Skopje (letters, reports etc.) will refer to it in this form’ and notwithstanding the position of the Foreign Affairs committee on the name issue.
Til sidst tilføjer Luigi Sandrin, at det skal sikres, at alle printede dokumenter og ekstern kommunikation samt websteder, bøger og andet materiale med relation til EU-finansierede projekter følger denne politik.
At the end, Mr Sandrin adds, ‘Please, ensure that all printed documents and external communication, as well as the websites, books and other materials related to EU‑funded projects follow this policy’.
Kan Kommissionen bekræfte, hvad den officielle holdning er?
Can the Commission confirm to me what the official point of view is?
Har landet ved navn »FYROM« frihed til at kalde sig »Republikken Makedonien«?
Does the country named ‘FYROM’ have the freedom to call itself Republic of Macedonia?
Hvis ja, vil Kommissionen påpege over for EAR, at det skal respektere landets prærogativer i forbindelse med navnespørgsmålet?
If so, will the Commission point out to EAR that it must respect the country’s prerogatives related to the name issue?

Agter Europa‑Kommissionen at gøre præcis status over hindringer ved salg af brugte køretøjer mellem privatpersoner?
Does the European Commission intend to carry out an inventory of the obstacles encountered during private sales of second-hand vehicles?
Mange administrative, skattemæssige og tekniske procedurer kan anses for at hindre den fri bevægelighed for varer (køretøjer) ved køb af køretøjer, der kommer fra en anden medlemsstat.
A number of administrative, fiscal or technical procedures can be regarded as obstacles to the free circulation of goods (vehicles) when a vehicle originating from another Member State is purchased.
Desuden er der mange køretøjer med forfalskede oplysninger (falsk registreringsattest, kilometertæller osv.), der kommer ind på brugtvognsmarkedet gennem auktionshuse eller organiserede netværk, uden at de nationale myndigheder har mulighed for at foretage kontrol, og uden at forbrugerne har mulighed for retsforfølgelse.
Moreover, many vehicles with falsified data (false registration papers, altered mileometers, etc.) make their way onto the second-hand market through showrooms or organised networks, without national administrations being able to carry out checks or consumers having any possibility of legal recourse.
Har gruppen på højt plan »Cars 21« planer om at fremsætte henstillinger på området?

På trods af de mange europæiske forordninger, der skal fjerne de nationale lovgivningers hindringer for personers mobilitet og fri bevægelighed, findes der fortsat forskelsbehandling, når der beregnes pension for visse grupper af arbejdstagere.
Although there are numerous European rules aimed at removing national legislative obstacles to mobility and free movement of people, certain categories of workers are still discriminated against with regard to the calculation of pensions.
Har Europa‑Kommissionen foretaget en undersøgelse for at sikre ligebehandling og ikke‑forskelsbehandling af arbejdstagere, der i en periode har arbejdet i en anden medlemsstat, i forhold til dem, der er blevet i deres hjemland?

Om: Handel med arter på Liste II under CITES‑konventionen — Den Demokratiske Republik Congo
Subject: Trade in CITES Appendix II species — Democratic Republic of Congo
I sine svar på forespørgsel P‑2133/­07, E‑2141/­07 og E‑2142/­07 anfører Kommissionen, at alle dokumenter vedrørende transporten af 33 aber — fra Den Demokratiske Republik Congo via Sydafrika til USA — var i orden.
In its answer to questions P‑2133/07, E‑2141/07 and E‑2142/07, the Commission states that all the documents relating to the transport of 33 monkeys — from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) via South Africa to the USA — were in order.
Ligeledes i henhold til Kommissionens svar erklærede Den Demokratiske Republik Congos videnskabsråd tydeligt, at det var blevet konsulteret vedrørende eksporten af dyrene, og at Den Demokratiske Republik Congo havde levet op til bestemmelserne i konventionen.
Again according to the Commission’s answer, the Scientific Authority of the DRC ‘clearly stated’ that it had been consulted on the export of the animals and that the DRC ‘had complied with the provisions under the Convention’.
Kommissionen konkluderer, at landet har overholdt indberetningskravene under konventionen, og at der ikke er nogen gyldig grund til at kræve yderligere sanktioner i henhold til CITES‑procedurerne.
The Commission concludes: ‘The country is therefore in compliance with the reporting requirements under the Convention and there is no valid reason to press for any kind of punitive measures under CITES procedures.
Kommissionen konkluderer ligeledes, at der i lyset af dette ikke er nogen yderligere grund til at rejse dette spørgsmål over for CITES‑sekretariatet.
With these clarifications, there is no further reason to raise this issue with the CITES Secretariat.’
Imidlertid viser en reportage, som aktualitetsprogrammet Netwerk på Nederlandenes anden statslige tv‑kanal sendte fredag den 22. juni 2007, at Den Demokratiske Republik Congos officielle CITES‑repræsentanter indrømmer, at de ikke har givet tilladelse til eksporten af disse dyr.
However, a report on Netwerk, the current affairs programme of the second Netherlands public TV channel, broadcast on Friday 22 June 2007, shows that the DRC’s official CITES representatives admit they did not grant approval for the export of these animals.
Ud over gruppen på 33 dyr, som skulle til USA, indeholdt eksportsendingen også dusinvis af andre individer.
In addition to the group of 33 animals destined for the US, the export consignment also included dozens of other individuals.
Den sydafrikanske handelsmand Mike Bester, som ejer den zoologiske have Bester Birds and Animals Zoo Park, og som var ansvarlig for overførslen af aberne til USA, indrømmer dette i reportagen.
The South African trader and zoo owner Mike Bester (of Bester Birds and Animals Zoo Park) — who was responsible for the transfer of the monkeys to the US — admits this during the report.
I lyset af at oplysningerne fra CITES om salget af sendingen af aber tydeligvis ikke var tilstrækkeligt detaljerede eller kontrollerede, hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen så at tage med henblik på at forhindre lignende illegale transaktioner fra Den Demokratiske Republik Congo i at forekomme i fremtiden?
Given that the information from CITES concerning the sale of this consignment of monkeys was clearly not sufficiently detailed or checked, what measures does the Commission propose to take with a view to preventing similar illegal transactions from the DRC in future?
Nu hvor det er blevet påvist, at CITES‑myndighedernes i Den Demokratiske Republik Congo ikke fungerer korrekt, agter Kommissionen så at tale for et midlertidigt stop for eksport af CITES‑arter fra Den Demokratiske Republik Congo?
Now that it has been plainly shown that the CITES authorities in the DRC are not functioning properly, will the Commission be advocating a temporary moratorium on the export of CITES species from the DRC?

Om: Reducerede momssatser for byggebranchen i Den Tjekkiske Republik
Subject: Lower VAT rates for construction work in the Czech Republic
I aftalen om Den Tjekkiske Republiks tiltrædelse af EU er der fastsat en overgangsperiode for anvendelsen af reducerede momssatser i byggebranchen til og med den 31.12.2007.
The Treaty governing the Czech Republic's accession to the EU provides for a transitional period during which construction work relating to housing will be subject to lower VAT rates until 31 December 2007.
Den Tjekkiske Republiks regering har vedtaget en definition af begrebet »social bolig«, og på dette grundlag har den til hensigt at anvende reducerede momssatser for det sociale boligbyggeri, hvilket også gælder efter denne periode.
The Czech Government has adopted a definition of ‘social housing’ on the basis of which it intends to levy a lower VAT rate on construction work relating to ‘social’ flats and houses even beyond that period.
Ifølge pressemeddelelser har Kommissionen til hensigt at forlænge overgangsperioden med to år.
In the press it has been reported that the Commission is intending to extend the transitional period by two years.
Kommissionen bedes svare på følgende spørgsmål: 1.
In view of the above, will the Commission answer the following questions: 1.
Er den tjekkiske regerings definition af begrebet »social bolig« acceptabel for Kommissionen?
Is the Czech definition of ‘social housing’ acceptable to the Commission?
Hvis ikke, hvorfor? 2.
If not, why not? 2.
Vil Kommissionen forlænge den overgangsperiode for byggebranchen, som Den Tjekkiske Republik har fået?
Is the Commission to extend the Czech Republic's transitional period for construction work?
Hvis ja, under hvilke betingelser? 3.

I have recently met representatives of the Sofia-based Psychological Centre for Research, which brings together organisations working with mentally handicapped and physically disabled people in Bulgaria.
På dette møde fik spørgeren at vide, at der i Bulgarien er vedtaget en lov, hvorved de finansielle midler til handicappede begrænses drastisk, og mange af dem derfor mister muligheden for en rehabilitering, adgang til hjælpemidler af høj kvalitet osv. Efter spørgerens opfattelse diskriminerer man derved en talmæssigt stor befolkningsgruppe.
In the course of the meeting I was informed that in Bulgaria a law has been approved which will significantly restrict financial resources for handicapped and disabled people, many of whom will thus be deprived of any opportunity for rehabilitation, access to quality medical appliances, and so on.

In my view this constitutes discrimination against a sizeable group of people.
