I udgaven fra december 2009 offentliggør tidsskriftet »60 millions de consommateurs« en undersøgelse, der afslører, at ud af 66 testede stykker legetøj er 30 giftige på grund af tilstedeværelsen af »potentielt farlige kemiske stoffer«.
The December 2009 issue of the magazine ‘60 millions de consommateurs’ publishes a study showing that of 66 toys tested, 30 were apparently toxic owing to the presence of ‘potentially dangerous chemical substances’.
Det gælder næsten alle kategorier legetøj såsom sovedyr, dukker, sminke til børn, plastikdimser, maling og endog trælegetøj.
Almost all types of toy are under suspicion: soft toys, dolls, children’s make-up, plastic gadgets, paint kits and even wooden toys.
Kommissionen bedes oplyse, på hvilken måde EU agter at styrke den uafhængige kontrol og præcisere EU-bestemmelserne, særlig med henblik på at kosmetik til børn kan betragtes som legetøj og således blive underlagt en bedre kontrol.
Can you tell me how the European Union plans to set about stepping up independent controls and clarifying European regulations, particularly to ensure that cosmetics for children are treated as toys and therefore more tightly controlled?

Om: Bistand til bæredygtig udvikling og regeringsførelse
Subject: Aid for sustainable development and good governance
Ifølge eksekutivsekretæren for FN's rammekonvention om klimaændringer bør konferencen i København resultere i, at de udviklede lande indgår en bindende aftale om at stille betydelige midler til rådighed for udviklingslandene med henblik på at hjælpe dem med at nå deres klimamål.
According to the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Copenhagen Conference should lead to a specific commitment by the developed countries to providing the developing countries with substantial resources to help them meet their climate targets.
Hvordan kan disse penge fordeles mellem de forskellige lande, såfremt de rige lande forpligter sig til at sikre den finansiering, de fattige lande anmoder om?
Supposing that the rich countries do pledge to provide the funding requested by the poor countries, how can that money be divided between the different countries?
Findes der allerede principper for indsamling, fordeling og anvendelse af disse midler?
Have principles been agreed on for the collection, distribution and use of such funding?
Hvordan kan man sikre, at disse ressourcer ikke bliver opfanget af »udviklingsbistandsindustrien«, undersøgelseskontorer og særlige organisationer, eller at de ikke forsvinder i de uigennemsigtige kanaler i de fattige lande, hvor regeringsførelsen ofte er dårlig?
How can we ensure that these resources are not captured by the ‘development aid industry’, research agencies and specialist organisations, or else that they do not disappear into the impenetrable networks inherent in poor countries that are often poorly governed?
Hvilke foranstaltninger kan der træffes for at gøre denne bistand til bæredygtig udvikling effektiv?
What can be done to ensure that this aid for sustainable development is really effective?

Om: Europa halter bagefter inden for undervisning af unge i matematik og naturfag
Subject: Europe lagging behind in teaching of mathematics and science to young people
Bekæmpelse af nutidens livsvigtige problemer (klimaændringer, miljøforurening, energimangel, nye pandemier osv.) kræver et solidt videnskabeligt fundament.
The critical problems of the present day (climate change, environmental pollution, the energy deficit, new pandemics, etc.) must be tackled from a solid scientific basis.
Det er alment anerkendt, at det er nødvendigt at kvalitetsforbedre undervisningen i matematik og naturfag på såvel grunduddannelserne som på real- og gymnasietrin, for at sikre Europas fremtid.
There is general recognition of the need to improve the quality of education in mathematics and science, both at primary and secondary level, for the future of Europe.
EU har iværksat forskellige initiativer i den retning, dog med beskedne resultater indtil nu.
The EU has taken various initiatives in this direction but, so far, with poor results.
To år efter Rocard-betænkningen om undervisning i naturfag (»Rocard Report on Science Education«) viser alle forhåndenværende oplysninger, at Europa ikke udstyrer sine elever med de videnskabelige forudsætninger, der er nødvendige for at sikre fremtidige fremskridt inden for forskning, teknologi og innovation.
Two years after the Rocard Report on Science Education, all the available data indicate that Europe is not equipping its students with the scientific wherewithal required to ensure its future progress in research, technology and innovation.
De unges interesse og præstationer i matematik og naturvidenskab ligger på et lavt niveau.
The level of interest and the performance of young people in mathematics and science are low.
Ifølge oplysninger fra OECD's sammenlignende PISA-undersøgelse 2006 (Programme for International Student Assessment) har elever i mange lande i EU lave præstationer inden for naturfag (mange under OECD's gennemsnit).
According to the OECD's comparative survey, PISA 2006 (Programme for International Student Assessment), students from a considerable number of EU Member States performed poorly in science (considerably below the OECD average).
Kendetegnende befinder Grækenland sig på sidstepladsen mellem de daværende europæiske lande, og dets præstationer er uforholdsmæssigt lave i forhold til udgifterne pr. elev.
Indicatively, Greece ranks bottom among the then Member States of the EU, while its performance is disproportionately low in relation to expenditure per student.
Tilsvarende resultater findes i den sammenlignende rapport TIMSS 2007.
Similar findings were produced by the comparative survey TIMSS 2007.
Hvilke oplysninger råder den over angående kvaliteten af undervisningen af Europas unge i naturfag?
What data does it have concerning the quality of young Europeans' education in science?
Hvordan vurderer den forholdene i Grækenland?
What is its assessment of the situation in Greece?
Hvad er Europas placering i forhold til andre lande (USA, Kina, Japan, Sydkorea, Canada osv.)?
What is Europe's position in relation to other countries (USA, China, Japan, South Korea, Canada, etc.)?
Hvordan vurderer den effektiviteten af de forskellige pilotprogrammer, som den har finansieret på området?

Om: Beskyttelse af børn mod æstetiske modefænomener
Subject: Preventing children from falling victim to fashions in beauty
De modefænomener og samfundsmæssige luner, som de voksne har været involveret i, kommer stadig oftere også til at berøre børnene.
Increasingly often, children are adopting fashions and trends to which adults have already fallen victim.
Det gælder bl.a. kropspleje og æstetiske indgreb.
This also applies to personal grooming and cosmetic surgery.
Disse handlinger og denne adfærd synes at udspringe af ønsket om at udstyre sine børn med konkurrenceevne, hvor kroppen er i centrum.
These attitudes and this behaviour seem to stem from parents' concern to equip their children to compete on the basis of their personal appearance.
Forældrene tror, at de handler rigtigt, når de forbereder deres børn til at have en konkurrencedygtig krop, men sandsynligvis er de ikke klar over, at de blot fordummer børnene, eftersom modningsprocessen utvivlsomt sker på andre måder.
Parents may think they are doing their children a service by preparing them to compete on such terms, but are probably unaware that by doing so they are dumbing their own children down, as they are not helping them to achieve emotional maturity by such means.
Når forældrene ønsker mindreårige børn forskønnet som voksne, munder det nemlig ud i skrøbelige og beskedne personligheder med mulige skader for helbredet.
Children whose parents try to disguise them as adults become vulnerable and unsure of themselves, and sometimes their health is placed at risk.
I lyset af denne tendens, og selv om sædvaner ikke hører under EU's kompetence (men ud fra den betragtning at disse modefænomener kan indgå i et kulturelt syn på samfundet), bedes Kommissionen besvare følgende spørgsmål: 1.
In view of this trend, and bearing in mind that, while fashions in dress do not fall within the EU's remit, they nevertheless form part of a society's cultural outlook, would the Commission answer the following questions: 1.
Finder Kommissionen det ikke altovervejende vigtigt at beskytte børn og unge i kraft af det, de er, og at skåne dem for de altid forbigående voksenrelaterede modefænomener? 2.
Does the Commission agree that it is of prime importance to safeguard the existence of children and adolescents as such, and to preserve them from the passing fashions adopted by adults? 2.
Finder Kommissionen det ikke hensigtsmæssigt at forbyde kosmetiske kirurgiske indgreb for børn og unge under 18 år? 3.
Does the Commission agree that there should be a ban on cosmetic surgery for children under 18? 3.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at man bør forhindre brug af mindreårige på catwalks, som om de var voksne modeller? 4.
Does the Commission agree that action should be taken to prevent minors from being used as catwalk models as if they were adult models? 4.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at brug af narkotika, som der flere gange er blevet klaget over inden for modelbranchen, netop kan skyldes skrøbeligheden i disse mindreårige piger, der klædes ud som voksne damer?
Does the Commission agree that the drug abuse which is so often reported in the modelling industry may be caused by the emotional fragility of these adolescents who are being passed off as adult women?

Om: Websteder, der hylder underminering af demokratiet og vold
Subject: Websites advocating the violent overthrow of society
På Facebooks sider, som udgør et virtuelt mødested for millioner af mennesker, flyder det med budskaber, der tilskynder til ideologisk had og væbnet oprør.
Some of the web pages to be found on Facebook, a place where millions of people can meet through the Internet, carry messages disseminating ideological hatred and inciting armed revolt.
Søndag den 22. november 2009 om aftenen var der 160 brugere, der »hyggeligt diskuterede oprøret mod »systemet«« — som det kunne læses i et dagblad mandag den 23. november.
On the evening of Sunday, 22 November 2009, 160 people were ‘blithely discussing rising up against the “system”’, as reported by a daily newspaper on Monday, 23 November.
Forummets motto var et gammelt, genbrugt motto med svage maoistiske undertoner: »100 blomster er sprunget ud — det er 100 væbnede grupper«.
The forum took place under a somewhat dated slogan with vaguely Maoist overtones: ‘100 flowers have bloomed, 100 armed groups have emerged’.
At trusler af denne art uforstyrret cirkulerer på nettet, og at tilskyndelser til væbnet oprør udbredes og støttes af fanatiske og undergravende ekstremister på internettet, bekræfter nødvendigheden af dels at modarbejde websteder, der hylder vold, dels at arbejde for at få gennemført en politik, der sigter mod respekt og tolerance.
The fact that threats of this kind are circulating freely on the web, and that Internet messages inciting armed revolt are being spread and supported by violent extremists and fanatics, shows that action must be taken to stamp out websites which glorify violence and to promote a policy of mutual respect and tolerance.
I denne forbindelse bedes Kommissionen besvare følgende spørgsmål: 1.
Would the Commission answer the following questions: 1.
Er Kommissionen bekendt med eksistensen af disse websteder? 2.
Is the Commission aware of the existence of websites such as these? 2.
Er Kommissionen enig i, at de bør modvirkes, og at de bør blokeres, når de udgør en overtrædelse af straffeloven? 3.
Does the Commission agree that action should be taken to deal with these websites and close them down if their activities contravene criminal law? 3.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at et »net« uden regler giver mulighed for grænseløs vold, sådan som det er tilfældet med grupperne til støtte for De Røde Brigader eller med pædofil aktivitet eller sågar forbindelserne mellem terrorgrupper — uanset deres farve?
Does the Commission agree that an unregulated Internet provides opportunities for unlimited violence, as exemplified by the groups which support the Red Brigades, or for the activities of paedophiles, or indeed for contact between terrorist groups of all kinds?

Om: GLASTON ITALY SPA
Subject: Glaston Italy SpA
GLASTON ITALY SPA er en finsk multinational virksomhed, som beskæftiger 1 200 ansatte i hele verden, heraf 320 i afdelingen i Bregnano (Como, Italien), hvor virksomheden fremstiller maskiner til forarbejdning af marmor og glas.
Glaston Italy SpA is a Finnish multinational which employs 1200 people worldwide, including 320 at its subsidiary in Bregnano (Como, Italy), which manufactures machines for processing marble and glass.
Siden begyndelsen af 2009 har virksomheden oplevet et markant fald i ordrerne (mere end 50 % i forhold til omsætningen i 2008), og denne situation har ført til, at personalet mellem maj og juni er blevet reduceret med 48 medarbejdere efter princippet om frivillig mobilitet på virksomhedens anmodning.
Since the beginning of this year, the company has seen a sharp decline in orders to less than 50 % of 2008 sales, as a result of which 48 employees opted for voluntary redundancy at the company’s request between May and July this year.
Den 12. november 2009 påbegyndte GLASTON ITALY SPA en afskedigelsesprocedure for 167 ansatte (119 arbejdere og 48 funktionærer) ud af i alt 320 ansatte som følge af den multinationale virksomheds ønske om dels at flytte en del af produktionen til Kina, dels at outsource den resterende del til eksterne virksomheder.
On 12 November, Glaston Italy SpA proceeded to lay off 167 employees (119 blue-collar workers and 48 white-collar workers) out of the total workforce of 320, following the multinational’s decision to relocate part of its production to China and outsource the rest.
Den multinationale virksomhed er uvillig til at anvende sociale velfærdsforanstaltninger og har modsat sig fagforeningernes krav om at anvende arbejdsløshedskassen i stedet for at yde den »afskedigelsesbonus«, som virksomheden har foreslået.
The multinational is taking a hard line against using the income support instruments available and has rejected the trade unions’ call for the SIG (wages guarantee fund) procedure to be initiated in favour of its own ‘termination payment’.
I denne sammenhæng bør man også tage de mange udtalelser fra OSHA (Det Europæiske Arbejdsmiljøagentur) i betragtning, der omtaler outsourcing som værende en ny vordende risiko for arbejdstagernes sundhed og sikkerhed.
It should be noted that the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (OSHA) has stated on several occasions that outsourcing is ‘an emerging risk’ to workers’ health and safety.
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, om den har kendskab til GLASTON ITALY SPA's krisesituation?
Would the Commission state whether it is aware of the current crisis at Glaston Italy SpA?
Hvad mener Kommissionen om det faktum, at adskillige europæiske virksomheder i betragtning af krisen benytter sig mere og mere (om ikke udelukkende) af uhæmmet og dereguleret produktionsudflytning og outsourcing — også selv om der kunne findes adskillige fleksible løsninger?
What is the Commission’s opinion of the fact that many European firms are reacting to the current crisis increasingly — or even exclusively — by outsourcing and relocating their activities on a rushed and unregulated basis, even when it might be possible to adopt various more flexible solutions?
Hvordan vurderer Kommissionen den finske hovedvirksomheds beslutning om ikke at benytte sig af de dertil påtænkte velfærdsforanstaltninger?
What is the Commission’s opinion of the Finnish parent company’s decision not to make use of the income support instruments available?

Om: Behovet for et EU-indgreb mod de finansielle manøvrer i forbindelse med olieprisen
Subject: Need for the EU to take action to stop oil price speculation
Oliemarkedet, der er præget af strukturel uligevægt, bliver i dag forstyrret ikke alene af geopolitiske faktorer, men også (hvilket måske er alvorligere og farligere) af den enorme spekulation, der finder sted.
The oil market, where there is a structural imbalance between supply and demand, is currently being disrupted not only by geo-political factors but also by a huge surge in speculation, which is perhaps even more serious and dangerous.
Denne spekulative aktivitet har nået et sådant omfang, at der efterhånden ikke længere er nogen sammenhæng mellem den samlede olieproduktion og de såkaldte »futures«, som er nået op på en størrelse svarende til en produktionsmængde (600 mio. tønder om dagen), der er lig med 7 gange den egentlige produktion (88 mio. tønder).
The scale of this speculation is such that total oil production no longer bears any relation to the volume of futures being traded, which is now equivalent to an oil production level (600 million barrels per day) seven times greater than actual oil production (88 million barrels).
Som følge af disse aktiviteter må det formodes, at olieprisen ikke blot vil vende tilbage til samme niveau som i midten af 2008 (147 dollars), men endda vil nå op på 200-250 dollars, sådan som Goldman Sachs og Gazprom spåede i sin tid.
It is quite likely that, as a result of financial speculation of this kind, the price of crude could not only return to the mid‑2008 level (USD 147) but even reach USD 200-250, as predicted at that time by Goldman Sachs and Gazprom.
Kan Rådet oplyse, hvilke nødforanstaltninger det agter at træffe for at forebygge de yderst alvorlige konsekvenser, som en fortsættelse af disse spekulative aktiviteter på oliemarkedet vil have for EU's og medlemsstaternes økonomiske genopsving?
Would the Council state what urgent measures it intends to take to prevent the extremely serious impact continued oil price speculation would have on the economic revival of the EU and its Member States?
Med hensyn til den finansielle spekulations virkninger på olieprisen gav Det Europæiske Råd allerede i 2008 udtryk for bekymring over den fortsatte kraftige stigning i olie- og gaspriserne og opfordrede formandskabet til i samarbejde med Kommissionen at forelægge en rapport Det Europæiske Råds konklusioner af 19.‑20. juni 2008, punkt 37; se også punkt 39 og 40. .
As regards the effects of financial speculation on the price of oil, the European Council already expressed concern in June 2008 about the continued surge in oil (and gas) prices and invited the Presidency, in cooperation with the Commission, to present a report European Council conclusions 19/20 June 2008, point 37; see also points 39 and 40. .
Rapporten »Rapport fra formandskabet i samarbejde med Kommissionen om situationen på oliemarkederne samt foranstaltninger på kort og mellemlang sigt som svar på den kraftige stigning i oliepriserne« (13266/2/08 REV 2). blev forelagt for Det Europæiske Råd i oktober 2008 og anførte, at de høje oliepriser i vidt omfang er resultatet af et strukturelt skifte i udbud og efterspørgsel, selv om de finansielle markeder har været med til at forstærke bevægelserne i oliepriserne og øge deres ustabilitet.
The report ‘Report by the Presidency, in cooperation with the Commission, on the situation on oil markets, and short- to medium-term measures in response to the surge in oil prices’, 13266/2/08 REV 2. was presented to the October 2008 European Council and stated that high oil prices were to a large extent the result of a structural shift in oil supply and demand , although financial markets had played a role in amplifying oil price movements and their increased volatility.
Hvad angår den strukturelle uligevægt mellem olieudbud og ‑efterspørgsel understreger Rådet, at EU's energipolitik går ud på at reducere anvendelsen af fossile brændstoffer som f.eks. olie ved at fremme energi fra vedvarende kilder og energieffektivitsforanstaltninger samt ved foranstaltninger med henblik på at reducere emissionen af drivhusgasser.
As for the structural imbalance between oil supply and demand, the Council would emphasise that the Union's energy policy aims to reduce the use of fossil fuels such as oil, through the promotion of energy from renewable sources and energy efficiency measures, as well as through measures aiming to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
Da forebyggelse af negative virkninger af olieprisspekulation er et globalt spørgsmål, der skal tages op på globalt plan, henviser Rådet til G20‑topmødet i Pittsburgh i september 2009, hvor deltagerne gav deres tilsagn til at fremme gennemsigtighed på energimarkedet og markedsstabilitet som led i deres bredere indsats for at undgå for stor ustabilitet.
In view of the fact that preventing negative impacts of oil price speculation is an issue of global concern to be addressed at global level, the Council would finally like to refer to the September 2009 Pittsburgh Summit of the G‑20 where participants committed themselves to promote energy market transparency and market stability as part of their broader effort to avoid excessive volatility.

Om: Det Europæiske Institut for Ligestilling mellem Mænd og Kvinder
Subject: European Institute for Gender Equality
Jeg vil gerne bede om oplysninger om organiseringsforløbet for Det Europæiske Institut for Ligestilling mellem Mænd og Kvinder.
Can the Council say what progress has been made with the organisational arrangements for the work of the European Institute for Gender Equality?
I henhold til tidligere erklæringer skulle instituttet begynde sit virke i 2007 og støtte medlemsstaterne og EU-institutionerne i at fremme ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder samt bekæmpelsen af kønsdiskrimination.
It was stated that the institute would start work in 2007 and assist the Member States and the European institutions in promoting gender equality and combating gender-based discrimination.
Man kan desværre fortsat ikke se effekterne af dette vigtige europæiske agenturs arbejde.
However, the work carried out by this important EU agency has yet to have any tangible impact.
