Om: Bekæmpelse af ulovlig handel med tobaksvarer
Subject: Fighting illicit trade of tobacco products
Efter at man har nået EU's minimumssats på 64 EUR for 1 000 cigaretter, hvilket bl.a. skete i Slovenien i juli sidste år og i Den Tjekkiske Republik i år, er de vejledende grænser for forbrugernes privatimport af cigaretter sat op fra 200 til 800 cigaretter.
Upon reaching the EU minimum rate of EUR 64 per 1 000 cigarettes, which happened for instance for Slovenia last July and for Czech Republic this year, the indicative limits for the private importation of cigarettes by consumers have been increased from 200 cigarettes to 800 cigarettes.
Samtidig anvender EU's medlemsstater meget forskellige punktafgifter.
At the same time, EU Member States apply excise yields which massively differ within the EU.
Minimumspunktafgiften for 1 000 cigaretter beløber sig i dag til 140 EUR i Tyskland og til 240 EUR i Det Forenede Kongerige, mens samme mængde cigaretter i Litauen beskattes med 28 EUR.
The minimum excise tax per 1 000 cigarettes in Germany today amounts to EUR 140, or in the UK to EUR 240, whereas in Lithuania the tax on the same amount of cigarettes is only EUR 28.
Denne afgiftsmæssige forskel har allerede ført til en betydelig strøm af toldfrie tobaksvarer til medlemsstater med en højere afgift, hvilket efterfølgende har ført til en massiv markedsforvridning samt tab i afgiftsindtægter i de pågældende medlemsstater.
This fiscal discrepancy has already led to a massive inflow of duty-non-paid tobacco products in Member States that apply higher tax rates and subsequently has caused massive market distortions, as well as losses in tax revenues in the respective Member States.
Europa-Kommissionen og OLAF har gentagne gange givet udtryk for, at de er fast besluttet på fortsat at bekæmpe smugling af cigaretter.
The EU Commission and OLAF have repeatedly expressed their strong commitment to pursuing the combat against cigarette contraband.
Senest har Kommissionen den 14. februar 2008 foreslået helt at fjerne den vejledende grænse på 800 cigaretter og derved skabe fri bevægelighed for tobaksvarer i EU på trods af de store forskelle i punktafgifterne og uden anvendelse af en skattemæssig kontrolmekanisme.
Most recently, the EU Commission proposed on 14 February 2008 to abolish entirely the 800 indicative limit for cigarettes, thereby creating a free flow of tobacco products in the EU, despite the substantial excise level differences, without any fiscal control mechanism.
I den forbindelse ønsker jeg at spørge Kommissionen om følgende: 1.
That being so, I would like to ask the Commission: 1.
Er ophævelsen af den vejledende grænse for tobaksvarer i medlemsstaterne gavnlig for opnåelsen af en væsentlig nedbringelse af mængden af ulovlige tobaksvarer, som cirkulerer i Europa? 2.
Is the lifting of indicative limits for tobacco products towards Member States helpful in achieving a significant reduction of illicit tobacco products circulating in Europe? 2.
Hvilke foranstaltninger kan såvel medlemsstaterne som Kommissionen træffe for at sikre, at forskellige punktafgifter inden for Fællesskabet ikke fører til yderligere ulovlig handel med tobaksvarer? 3.
What are the measures both, Member States and the Commission could take to ensure that differing excise tax yields within the Community do not further endorse the illicit trade of tobacco products? 3.
Hvor stort er det anslåede tab i medlemsstaternes afgiftsindtægter på grund af strømmen af tobaksvarer, der ikke beskattes, hvor de forbruges?
What is the estimated loss in excise revenues for inflow Member States due to tobacco products not being taxed where consumed?

Om: Medicinalvirksomhederne skal offentliggøre kliniske forsøg
Subject: Drugs companies must publish full details of clinical trials
Den 26. februar 2008 fremsatte parlamentsmedlem Jim Dobbin et beslutningsforslag (1056) i Det Forenede Kongeriges parlament, som vedrørte landets manglende evne til at regulere bestemmelserne for medicinalindustrien.
On 26 February 2008, Mr Jim Dobbin (MP) tabled in the UK Parliament an Early Day Motion (1056) which addresses UK inability to regulate the pharmaceutical industry.
Han foreslog forskellige bestemmelser, herunder gennemførelse af anbefalingerne i den fjerde rapport fra sundhedsudvalget, samling 2004‑05, om medicinalindustriens indflydelse, HC42‑1, herunder en uafhængig undersøgelse af Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (Det Forenede Kongeriges myndighed for apotekslicenser).
It proposed various regulations including the implementation of the recommendations of the Fourth Report of the Health Committee, Session 2004‑05, on the Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry, HC42‑1, including an independent review of the UK drug licensing authority, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.
Beslutningsforslaget opfordrede ligeledes regeringen til at undersøge, hvordan fabrikanter og distributører har opnået deres produktlicenser.
It also called on the Government to investigate how the manufacturers and distributors obtained product licences.
Regeringen har efterfølgende meddelt, at den ikke er i stand til at gøre dette på grund af EU‑lovgivningen.
The UK Government had, following this, announced that it would be unable to bring this about due to EC law.
Forsøg med medicinalprodukter, der ikke har haft den tilsigtede virkning, har ofte ført til, at en lang række personer er blevet afhængige af disse produkter og lider af mærkelige og alvorlige bivirkninger, der kan gøre dem uarbejdsdygtige.
The testing of unsuccessful drugs often lead to large numbers of people who involuntarily become addicted to these drugs and suffer bizarre and severe side effects which leave them unable to work.
Hvis resultaterne af disse forsøg ikke offentliggøres, får folk ikke passende hjælp til at komme tilbage på arbejdsmarkedet.
If the results of these trials are not published, people can not receive the appropriate assistance to integrate these people back into the workforce.
Hvorfor anvender EU‑lovgivningen på nuværende tidspunkt kun et frivilligt register over alle kliniske forsøg og offentliggørelser af forsøgsresultaterne i forbindelse med medicinalprodukter med en markedsføringstilladelse?
Why is the EC law currently opting only for a voluntary registry of all clinical trials and publication of their findings for all trials of medicinal products with a marketing authorisation in the EU?
Anerkender Kommissionen behovet for større gennemsigtighed og kontrol i forbindelse med medicinalindustrien?
Does the Commission recognise the need for more transparency and accountability in the pharmaceutical industry?

Om: Rådets foranstaltninger i Vestsahara
Subject: Council action on Western Sahara
Den vedholdende konflikt i Vestsahara er fortsat en af de potentielle trusler mod sikkerheden og stabiliteten i Sahelregionen.
The continuing conflict in Western Sahara is still a potential threat to the security and stability of the Sahel region.
Igennem et par måneder har der været glimt af håb, efter at konfliktens parter har engageret sig i direkte forhandlinger under ledelse af FN takket være forelæggelsen af et marokkansk initiativ til forhandling om en selvstyrestatut for Sahara.
Following the participation of the parties to the conflict in direct negotiations under United Nations auspices, a glimmer of hope has begun to emerge in recent months in connection with Morocco's submission of an initiative concerning the negotiation of autonomous status for Western Sahara.
Disse forhandlinger, hvis tredje runde fandt sted i januar, og som fortsætter i marts, har fået en positiv modtagelse af det internationale samfund.
The international community has welcomed these negotiations, which are due to resume in March; the third round took place last January.
Polisario undergraver hele tiden denne positive dynamik, som det fremgår af bevægelsens seneste erklæringer.
Polisario, however, as shown by its recent statements, is seeking to undermine these positive developments.
Denne holdning, som strider mod ånden i de aftaler og ordninger, som parterne har undertegnet, og mod de anstrengelser, som det internationale samfund udfolder, særlig Sikkerhedsrådet, FN's generalsekretær og hans personlige udsending, illustreres især af ordlyden af den endelige erklæring fra Polisarios seneste kongres i Tifariti (som ligger i den bufferzone, FN har oprettet).
This attitude, which is contrary to the spirit of the agreements signed by the parties and the efforts made by the international community, including in particular the Security Council, the Secretary-General of the United Nations and his personal envoy, is clearly shown in the text of the final declaration of the last congress held by Polisario in Tifariti (in the buffer zone set up by the United Nations).
Heri opfordres den til: 1.
The declaration in question: 1.
at genoptage våbnene 2.
launched a new call to arms; 2.
at tilskynde til vold inden for områderne og 3.
incited violence inside the disputed territory and 3.
at befolke det område, der ligger øst for sikkerhedsmuren.
called for settlement of the zone situated to the east of the security wall.
Eftersom EU og dets medlemsstater har erklæret deres støtte til fortsættelsen af de nuværende forhandlinger på de bedst mulige vilkår, og i betragtning af at Polisarios erklæringer optræder i en kontekst, der er præget af en optrapning af terroraktioner, hvad agter Rådet da at foretage sig for at få Polisario og Algeriet til at engagere sig stærkt i den aktuelle dynamik og afholde sig fra enhver aktion eller erklæring, der kan ødelægge forsøgene på at afslutte denne langvarige strid?
Given that the European Union and its Member States have declared that they are in favour of the current negotiations being pursued in the best circumstances possible, and given that the statements in question were made against the background of a resurgence of terrorist acts, what action does the Council intend to take to persuade Algeria and Polisario to firmly commit to the current process and refrain from any actions or declarations which could sabotage the efforts being made to resolve this long-running dispute?
Rådet støtter fuldt ud Manhasset-forhandlingerne og den proces, der blev indledt sidste år ved Sikkerhedsrådets resolution 1754 og 1783.
The Council fully supports the Manhasset negotiations and the process launched last year by Security Council Resolutions 1754 and 1783.
Rådet finder, at det er vigtigt, at forhandlingerne fortsætter, og at det er absolut nødvendigt, at parterne under de kommende forhandlinger går videre og gør yderligere fremskridt med hensyn til de grundlæggende spørgsmål for at undgå, at processen går i stå.
The Council considers it important that the negotiations should continue, and believes it is essential for the parties to go further during future talks and to make more progress on substantive issues in order to prevent the process from becoming bogged down.
Rådet er i øvrigt overbevist om, at parterne for at skabe og opretholde et gunstigt forhandlingsklima bør moderere deres udtalelser.
The Council is also convinced that the parties must tone down their language if a climate conducive to negotiations is to be created and maintained.
Rådet har således opfordret parterne til at udvise tilbageholdenhed, god tro, engagement og åbenhed.
The Council has therefore called on the parties to show restraint, good faith, commitment and a spirit of openness.
Det har også tilskyndet nabolandene til at følge denne linje og gøre al deres indflydelse gældende over for parterne.
It has also encouraged neighbouring countries to adopt a similar approach and to bring all their influence to bear on the parties.
Rådet går desuden fortsat stærkt ind for, at de foranstaltninger, som De Forenede Nationer har truffet, forbliver i kraft, så der kan opretholdes et klima præget af tillid, da dette er af afgørende betydning, for at forhandlingerne bliver en succes.
Moreover, the Council is keen to ensure that the measures adopted by the United Nations remain in force so as to ensure the continuation of a climate of trust which is essential if the negotiations are to succeed.

Om: Medierapporter om kommissær Günter Verheugen og tilladelse til import af klorkyllinger til EU
Subject: Media reports on Commissioner Verheugen and the admission of imports of chlorinated chicken to the EU
Der har i en række medier været omtale af, hvad nyhedsbureauet Reuters beskriver som et lækket brev fra kommissær Günter Verheugen til Kommissionens formand José Manuel Barroso Se f.eks. webstedet for den hollandske avis "De Volkskrant", 26. marts 2008. .
Reports have appeared in various media of what the Reuters press agency describes as a leaked letter by Commissioner Verheugen to Commission President Barroso See for instance the website of the Dutch newspaper ‘ De Volkskrant ’, 26 March 2008. .
Det siges, at kommissær Günter Verheugen i dette brev insisterer på, at importforbuddet mod fjerkræ fra USA, der er desinficeret med klorvand, bør hæves, for at EU kan foretage en proamerikansk gestus.
In this letter Commissioner Verheugen is said to insist that the import ban on poultry from the United States disinfected with chlorinated water should be lifted to enable the EU to make a pro‑American gesture.
Det forlyder, at han foreslår en sådan foranstaltning, selv om en igangværende undersøgelse, der gennemføres af Den Europæiske Fødevaresikkerhedsautoritet (EFSA), skulle vise, at sådant fjerkræ kunne være sundhedsskadeligt for mennesker.
He is said to be proposing this action even if a current investigation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) were to show that such poultry could be harmful to human health.
Kan Kommissionens formand bekræfte, at dette brev eksisterer, og at citaterne er korrekte og er blevet placeret i den rette sammenhæng af de forskellige medier?
Can the Commission President confirm that this letter exists, and the quotations are correct and have been put in the proper context by the various media?
Hvad er kommissionsformandens reaktion på Günter Verheugens holdning, at importen af sådant fjerkræ bør tillades for at demonstrere, at EU er »proamerikansk«, uanset om EFSA‑undersøgelsen skulle vise, at en tilladelse til at importere fjerkræ, der er desinficeret med klorvand (»klorkyllinger«), ville udgøre en risiko for folkesundheden?
How does the Commission President react to Mr Verheugen’s view that, even if the EFSA investigation showed that admitting poultry disinfected by chlorinated water (‘chlorinated chicken’) would pose risks to public health, imports of such poultry should still be admitted to demonstrate that the EU is ‘pro‑American’?
Hvilken indstilling har kommissærerne med ansvar for handel, landbrug og sundhed til kommissær Günter Verheugens holdning?
What do the Commissioners for Trade, Agriculture and Public Health think of this opinion of Commissioner Verheugen’s?
Er Kommissionen enig i, at kommissæren med bemærkninger af denne art undergraver EU's forhandlingsposition, eftersom han giver indtryk af, at folkesundheden ikke er det vigtigste hensyn, som EU tager, når det skal beslutte, hvorvidt import til det indre marked af udenlandske produkter skal tillades?
Does the Commission agree that by comments of this kind the Commissioner is undermining the European negotiating position, as he is giving the impression that public health arguments are not the most important consideration for the EU when it comes to deciding whether or not to allow foreign products into the internal market?
