Bly forårsager blyforgiftning hos små børn – en alvorlig sygdom, der medfører kognitiv retardering.
Lead causes saturnism (lead poisoning) in young children, a serious disease which causes learning difficulties.
De seneste sundhedsmæssige undersøgelser har dog vist, at bly, som er absorberet af små børn, reelt stammer fra tidligere blymalinger i forringede boliger – ikke fra drikkevandet.
But recent health studies have shown that the lead absorbed by young children actually comes from old lead paint in run-down houses rather than from drinking water.
I regioner, hvor vandet er surt og risikerer at angribe rørsystemer af bly, har neutraliserende behandlinger løst problemet til en meget lavere pris.
In regions in which the water is acidic and might have deteriorated lead piping, water softeners have resolved the problem at a much lower cost.
Når Kommissionen i 1998 fastlagde en frist på 15 år og fratog medlemsstaterne deres ansvar, skyldtes det, at den var bekendt med vanskeligheden ved at begrunde denne grænseværdi på 10 mikrogram.
If the Commission granted a 15-year time frame in 1998 and freed the Member States of their responsibility it clearly knew that its justification for a 10 mcg threshold was weak.
Direktivet er for øjeblikket genstand for en femårlig revision.
The directive is currently undergoing a five-yearly revision.
Hvorfor hæver Kommissionen ikke grænsen for bly til 25 mikrogram pr. liter på baggrund af misforholdet mellem ovennævnte udgifter på 10 mia. euro og den ubetydelige sundhedsmæssige fordel, der opnås ved dette tiltag?
Why does the Commission not raise the limit for lead to 25 mcg per litre, given the disproportion between the abovementioned cost of EUR 10 billion and the insignificant health benefits that can be expected to be gained from this measure?

Om: Problemet med, at flyselskaber opkræver betaling flere gange for transaktioner
Subject: Multiple transaction fees charged by airlines
Jeg ser med bekymring på oplysninger, jeg har modtaget fra folk, der har fløjet med visse flyselskaber indregistreret i EU.
I am concerned about information I have received from passengers of certain airlines registered in the European Union.
Det fremgår, at visse flyselskaber opkræver for høj betaling for kreditkorttransaktioner ved køb af flybilletter.
It appears that some airlines are charging excessive credit card transaction fees for purchasing tickets.
I lavprisflyselskabernes tilfælde sker det sommetider, at denne tillægsbetaling, som passageren som oftest først bliver oplyst om ved slutningen af købsproceduren, er højere end selve billetprisen.
In the case of so-called low-cost airlines, the additional payment, which the customer is usually only informed about at the end of the booking procedure, can exceed the price of the ticket.
Et yderligere problem er, at flyselskaberne opkræver betaling for hver enkelt billet hver for sig, selv om passageren køber billetterne samtidig og kun gennemfører én betaling.
A further problem is where airlines charge a transaction fee per person for each ticket, even if the customer purchases a number of tickets at the same time and makes a single payment.
Det fremgår af de oplysninger, jeg kan finde, at den pris, som bankerne opkræver for denne type ydelser, kun udgør nogle få procent af den pris, som flyselskaberne opkræver, og desuden opkræver bankerne kun betaling én gang.
It is clear from the information available to me that the actual amount charged by banks for providing this type of service is just a fraction of the amount charged by the airlines, and that it is charged only once.
Er Kommissionen opmærksom på de metoder, der gør, at den reelle pris på betalingstransaktionerne bliver forhøjet?
Is the Commission aware of this practice of inflating the actual cost of the transaction?
Er Kommissionen klar over, at passageren er tvunget til at betale for kreditkorttransaktionen for hver enkelt billet hver for sig, selv om vedkommende kun gennemfører én betaling?
Is the Commission aware that even in the case where a single payment is made, customers paying by card are forced to pay the charge per person for each ticket?
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at sådanne metoder bør forbydes inden for Fællesskabet?
Does the Commission not consider that this type of practice should be made illegal in the EU?
Hvilke tiltag har Kommissionen allerede iværksat eller har den til hensigt at iværksætte for at undersøge dette forhold og løse problemet?
What action has the Commission taken, or what is it intending to do, to investigate this matter and resolve the problem?

Om: Reform af den spanske lov om revision og aktieselskaber
Subject: Reform of the Law on Audits and Public Limited Liability Companies in Spain
Det spanske parlament (Cortes Generales) vedtog den 30. juni 2010 en reform af loven om revision og aktieselskaber, som dermed skal tilpasses til lovteksten i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 2006/43/EF af 17. maj 2006 om lovpligtig revision af årsregnskaber og konsoliderede regnskaber.
On 30 June 2010 the Spanish Parliament passed a reform of the Law on Audits and Public Limited Liability Companies with the aim of bringing it into line with the European Parliament and Council Directive 2006/43/EC of 17 May 2006 on legal auditing of annual and consolidated accounts.
Reformen indfører imidlertid visse undtagelsesbestemmelser for så vidt angår muligheden for offentligt at udbyde aktier i Spanien.
However in the course of this reform certain provisions were introduced governing the conditions under which public share offers can be made in Spain.
Disse ændringer blev indført som følge af ændringsforslag fra et parlamentsmedlem, der i medierne tydeligvis ønskede at fremstå som den formodede forslagsstiller bag de ændringsforslag, som først blev fremsat og senere vedtaget.
These changes came hand-in-hand with a series of parliamentary amendments which were so obvious in intention as to result in the Spanish press christening the proposed and later adopted clauses with the name of the supposed beneficiary.
Aktionærer og direktører fra forskellige spanske virksomheder har udtalt, at de indførte ændringer, som kort fortalt udvider hver enkelt aktionærs stemmeret, kan skade de grundlæggende principper bag Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 2004/25/EF af 21. april 2004 om overtagelsestilbud.
Shareholders and management of several Spanish companies have protested that these changes, which increase the voting power of every shareholder, could contravene the basic principles of the European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/25/EC of 21 April 2004 on takeover bids.
En af de berørte virksomheder har derfor meddelt, at den agter at fremsende en klage over disse ændringer til de europæiske myndigheder og gøre opmærksom på, at ændringerne hindrer de frie kapitalbevægelser, princippet om vedtægtsfrihed og navnlig rettighederne for mindretalsaktionærer.
In fact, some of the affected companies have already declared their intention to contest this measure before the relevant European authorities, on the grounds that the changes in the law obstruct the free movement of capital, the principle of statutory freedom and, in particular, the rights of minority shareholders.
Hovedformålet med det omtalte direktiv om overtagelsestilbud er, at alle indehavere af kapitalandele skal behandles ens og beskyttes mod det faktum, at en enkeltperson kan overtage kontrollen med et selskab.
It may be recalled that the abovementioned Directive on takeover bids clearly establishes as its main objective that all shareholders should receive equal treatment and be protected in the event of one person acquiring control of a company.
På denne baggrund bedes Kommissionen besvare følgende spørgsmål:
In view of the above,
Råder Kommissionen på nuværende tidspunkt over en analyse af reformen af den spanske lov om revision?
Does the Commission have any evaluation of the reform to the Spanish law on audits referred to in this question?
Mener Kommissionen, at denne reform overholder bestemmelserne i direktiv 2004/25/EF for så vidt angår regulering af processen vedrørende offentlige udbud?
Does the Commission consider that this reform, by including these new regulations on procedures for public takeover bids, respects the principles of Directive 2004/25/EC?
Har Kommissionen kendskab til konkrete tilfælde i Spanien, hvor handelsvirksomheder har oplevet negative konsekvenser som følge af de indførte ændringer, og hvor ændringerne har haft indvirkning på aktiemarkedet og aktiekurserne?
Is the Commission aware of any specific cases in Spain of commercial companies having been destabilised by these changes and of the effects of said changes on the markets, on share prices and on the activities of companies?

Om: Undersøgelse af specifik toldafgift ved import af frisk tomat fra Marokko
Subject: Investigation of specific customs duties on imports of fresh tomatoes from Morocco
I slutningen af 2009 igangsatte Kommissionen en undersøgelse underlagt Forvaltningskomitéen for den Fælles Markedsordning for Landbrugsprodukter – Frugt og Grøntsager af de specifikke toldafgifter, der vedrører importen af frisk tomat fra Marokko.
At the end of 2009, the Commission initiated an investigation, to be carried out by the Management Committee of the COM in agricultural products (fruit and vegetables), into the specific customs duties levied on imports of fresh tomatoes from Morocco.
Der er nu gået et år, siden undersøgelsen blev sat i gang.
It is now approximately a year since that investigation began.
I hvilken fase befinder den sig så nu?
Can the Commission specify what stage it has reached?
I tilfælde af at den er færdig, hvilke konklusioner har Kommissionen så draget på grundlag af undersøgelsen?
Should the investigation have been concluded, can the Commission state what conclusions it has drawn from it?
Agter Kommissionen at igangsætte nogen tiltag på baggrund af de dragne konklusioner?
Will the Commission take any action on the basis of those conclusions?
Kunne man ikke under alle omstændigheder sikre, at de beløb, der tilgår toldmyndighederne, med sikkerhed svarer til de beløb, man forventer at få ind ved anvendelse af den lovgivning, der regulerer adgangen til det fælles marked for tomater stammende fra Marokko, herunder i særdeleshed den del, der vedrører systemet for indgangspriser?
At all events, can the Commission give assurances that the sums levied in Community customs duties correspond unequivocally to those to be expected under the application of the legislation regulating access to the Community market for Moroccan tomatoes, especially as regards the entry price system?

Om: Ødelæggelse af EU's udviklingsprojekter i Palæstina af den foretrukne partner Israel
Subject: Destruction of EU development projects in Palestine by the Union's favoured partner Israel
Omkring 80 projekter til udvikling af Palæstina, som helt eller delvist er finansieret af EU eller nogen af medlemslandende, er blevet ødelagt af de israelske myndigheder i løbet af de seneste 10 år.
The last 10 years have witnessed the destruction by the Israeli authorities of some 80 development projects in Palestine that were wholly or partly funded by the EU or one of its Member States.
Man regner med at den samlede værdi af ødelagte humanitære og infrastrukturprojekter beløber sig til omkring 100 mio. euro.
The total monetary value of the humanitarian projects and infrastructures destroyed is estimated to be in the region of EUR 100 million.
Blandt de mange humanitære og infrastrukturprojekter som er blevet ødelagt af israelske krigshandlinger finder vi: et netværk af drivhuse til landbrug, en lufthavn, et børnehjem, flere rensningsanlæg, hospitaler, broer, skoler og gårde.
These humanitarian projects and infrastructures destroyed by Israeli aggression include a network of greenhouses, an airport, an orphanage, several waste treatment plants, hospitals, bridges, schools and farms.
Det er paradoksalt, at mens EU på den ene side opfordrer sine medlemsstater til at gennemføre en nøjsom økonomisk omkostningspolitik, tillader man på den anden side, at en foretrukken partner ødelægger udviklingsprojekter, der er finansieret med EU's penge.
Paradoxically, while the Union is now calling on its Member States to implement an economic policy of austerity and spending cuts, it is at the same time allowing a favoured partner to destroy development projects financed from its own coffers.
I betragtning af at disse ødelagte projekter er repræsentative instrumenter for EU's optræden udadtil, og at de er udtænkt som redskaber til at fremme udviklingssamarbejdet, bedes Kommissionen besvare følgende spørgsmål:
The projects destroyed were representative instances of the EU's external action, conceived as instruments of development cooperation.
Agter Kommissionen at gennemføre tiltag, der skal forhindre, at staten Israel fortsat ødelægger eller skader infrastruktur- og udviklingsprojekter, der helt eller delvist er finansieret af EU eller nogen af medlemslandende?
Will the Commission implement measures to stop the Israeli state destroying or damaging infrastructures and development projects wholly or partly funded by the EU or one of its Member States?
Har Kommissionen overgivet nogen officiel klage til staten Israel for dette?
Has the Commission forwarded a formal complaint to Israel on the matter?

Om: Afsættelsen af Piedad Córdoba
Subject: Banning of Piedad Córdoba from public office
Den 27. september i år afsatte og fratog den offentlige anklager i Colombia senator Piedad Córdoba retten til i 18 år at besidde offentlige embeder, idet man beskyldte hende for at støtte og samarbejde med guerillagruppen FARC-EP.
On 27 September 2010 the Colombian Public Prosecutor’s Office dismissed Senator Piedad Córdoba from her position and banned her from holding public office for 18 years, on allegations of promoting and collaborating with the FARC-EP guerrillas.
De fremførte beviser er mere end tvivlsomme, idet størstedelen af dem stammer fra perioden, hvor Piedad Córdoba arbejdede med oprørerne som mægler med den foregående præsident Álvaro Uribes udtrykte og offentlige tilladelse.
The evidence put forward is more than dubious, since it pertains mostly to the period during which Senator Córdoba acted as a mediator with insurgents, a task carried out with the express, public authorisation of the former President, Álvaro Uribe.
Dvs. at hun kan straffes hårdt for at have udfyldt rollen som mægler, et forhold der ikke har nogen fortilfælde hverken i colombiansk lovgivning eller i international ret.
Indeed, Senator Córdoba could be being harshly punished merely for doing facilitation work, a sanction that would have no legal precedent in Colombian or international law.
Igennem mange år var Piedad Córdoba kendt for sin kamp for fred og menneskerettigheder på sine forskellige politiske poster.
For many years Senator Córdoba has been well-known for her commitment to the struggle to defend peace and human rights in the various political posts she has occupied.
Senatoren besøgte for nylig Europa-Parlamentet, hvor hun flere gange tidligere har gjort opmærksom på overtrædelserne af menneskerettigheder og det demokratiske underskud, der findes i Columbia.
She was recently received by Parliament, which she had visited on various occasions to speak out against the human rights situation and the democratic deficit in Colombia.
Senatoren har som reaktion på afsættelsen appelleret sagen og håber nu, at retsvæsenet giver hende ret i anden instans.
Senator Córdoba has appealed against her ban and expects the appeal court to rule in her favour.
Hvordan bedømmer Rådet retssikkerheden i Colombia, når man som senator Piedad Córdoba har immunitet, men stadig kan afsættes af den offentlige anklager, uden at senatet høres eller samtykker?
Does the Council consider that legal certainty is guaranteed in Colombia, given that Senator Córdoba had immunity, which was then stripped from her by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, without consulting with the Senate or obtaining its consent?
Hvordan bedømmer Rådet, at senator Piedad Córdoba udtrykkeligt er nævnt i et af den colombianske efterretningstjenestes sagsmapper, hvor tjenesten anbefaler, at Piedad Córdoba forbindes med ulovlige grupperinger?
What is the Council’s view of the fact that Senator Córdoba is explicitly referred to in the files of the DAS ( Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad ), in which that secret service organ recommends creating links between her and illegal organisations?
Hvilke skridt har Rådet taget siden september i år for at få Colombias regering til at se bort fra efterretningstjenestens ulovlige sagsmapper, for at informere de berørte om, hvilke ulovlige aktiviteter der var planlagt mod dem, samt for at give dem oprejsning?
What steps has the Council taken since September 2010 to encourage the Colombian government to declassify the DAS’s illegal files with a view to informing its victims of the illegal activities carried out against them and restoring their dignity?
I betragtning af de gentagne klager fra den demokratisk valgte opposition og internationale menneskerettighedsorganisationers anbefalinger, hvordan agter EU så at ændre sit politipolitiske samarbejde med den colombianske regering?
In view of the repeated complaints concerning treatment of the democratic opposition and the recommendations of international human rights organisations, what steps will the EU take to review its cooperation with the Colombian government on police matters?
Rådet har ikke drøftet den sag, som det ærede medlem henviser til.
The Council has not discussed the specific case to which the Honourable Member refers.
Rådet blander sig generelt ikke i sager, der føres for en domstol i et tredjeland.
In general, the Council does not interfere in cases which are pending before the judiciary of a third country.
Det specifikke spørgsmål, det ærede medlem nævner, er ikke i øjeblikket opført på Rådets dagsorden.
A discussion on the specific items mentioned by the Honourable Member is currently not on the agenda for the Council.
EU tager spørgsmål om overholdelse af de grundlæggende rettigheder op i sine forbindelser med Colombia.
In its relations with Colombia, the EU raises questions relating to respect of fundamental rights.

Om: Præcise tal for Grækenlands underskud for 2009
Subject: Accuracy of data regarding the 2009 Greek deficit
I den seneste tid har der igen været stærk kritik i Grækenland vedrørende rigtigheden af de græske statistikker, for så vidt angår det offentlige underskud for 2009.
Recently the accuracy of government deficit figures for 2009 has once more been the target of severe criticism in Greece.
I betragtning af at den beskyldning, der er nævnt i litra a), ikke kun vedrører regeringen, men også Eurostat, som er ansvarlig for på Kommissionens vegne at vurdere kvaliteten af data og at levere de data, der anvendes i forbindelse med proceduren vedrørende uforholdsmæssigt store underskud, og som i overensstemmelse med forordning (EF) nr. 2103/2005 har ret til at ændre de indberettede data fra medlemsstaterne (artikel 8), bedes Kommissionen besvare følgende spørgsmål:
Given that the specific criticism referred to under (a) above concerns not only the Greek Government but also Eurostat, which is, on behalf of the Commission, responsible for assessing data quality and supplying data to be used in the context of the excessive deficit procedure and is, under Regulation (EC) No 2103/2005, entitled to amend actual data reported by Member States (Article 8(h)):
Hvor stort var underskuddet for 2009 i henhold til Eurostats beregninger, når det kommer til stykket?
Can the Commission give the final figure for the 2009 deficit on the basis of Eurostat calculations?
Hvis Kommissionen (Eurostat) ikke er i stand til at fastslå disse tal definitivt, anser den det da for mest sandsynligt, at underskuddet er på mere eller mindre end 13,6 %?
If the Commission (Eurostat) is unable to provide finalised data, does it consider it more likely that the deficit is below or above 13.6 %?
Er der fra græsk side sket overtrædelser af forpligtelserne i henhold til forordning (EF) nr. 2103/2005 og anden fællesskabsret, for så vidt angår indsamling og videregivelse af oplysninger om det faktiske underskud for 2009?
Has Greece failed, in respect of the 2009 deficit, to comply with its obligations under Regulation (EC) No 2103/2005 and other Community legislation regarding data collection and disclosure?
I givet fald hvilke?
If so, in what way has it failed to comply?
Hvilke specifikke faktorer var det, der førte til en stigning i underskuddet for 2009 i forhold til Kommissionens prognoser, som i foråret 2009 lød på, at underskuddet ville blive på lidt over 5 % af BNP i 2009 http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/publications/publication15048_en.pdf ?
What were the specific causes of the increase in the 2009 deficit figures compared with the Commission’s estimates produced in the spring of 2009 forecasting a deficit of just over 5 % of GDP for that year? http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/publications/publication15048_en.pdf
