Om: Skal EU regulere sports- og lystfiskeri?
Subject: Possible EU regulation of sport fishing and recreational fishing
I mit hjemland Sverige har Kommissionens forslag om strengere kontrol med sports- og fritidsfiskeri bragt sindene i kog, og foreningen Sportsfiskarna har givet udtryk for stor bekymring over det lovgivningsmæssige forslag.
In my home country of Sweden, the Commission's proposal for stricter controls on sport fishing and recreational fishing has stirred up a great deal of emotion and the association, Sportfiskarna, has voiced great concern about the draft legislation.
Fiskerikommissær Joe Borg lader dog til at være af en anden opfattelse.
The Fisheries Commissioner, Joe Borg, however, seems to be of another opinion.
I Parlamentets Fiskeriudvalg (den 10. februar 2009) sagde han følgende: »Let me make clear once and for all that the hobby angler who catches a few kilos of fish every time he goes out fishing and uses it for his private consumption, will not be covered by the control regulation, even if he catches fish like cod which is under a recovery plan.«
On 10 February 2009, he stated in Parliament's Committee on Fisheries: ‘Let me make clear once and for all that the hobby angler who catches a few kilos of fish every time he goes out fishing and uses it for his private consumption, will not be covered by the control regulation, even if he catches fish like cod which is under a recovery plan.’
Har Kommissionen skiftet holdning til sports- og lystfiskeri?
Has the Commission changed its mind about sport fishing and recreational fishing?
Hvilke garantier kan Joe Borg give for, at Europas og Sveriges sports og lystfiskere kan slippe for at aflægge rapport om deres fangster?
What guarantees can Joe Borg provide that Europe's and Sweden's hobby anglers will not have to report their catches?

Om: EU's finansiering af reklamekampagner for landbrugsprodukter
Subject: EU funding of advertising campaign for agricultural products
I Sverige gennemføres der i øjeblikket en reklamekampagne, som delvist er finansieret af EU.
An advertising campaign partly funded by the EU is currently under way in Sweden.
Kampagnen går ud på at opmuntre forbrugerne til at købe europæiske landbrugsprodukter.
The campaign is designed to encourage consumers to buy European agricultural products.
F.eks. foreslår man, at de svenske forbrugere køber kartofler fra Cypern og flere tulipaner i februar.
For example, Swedish consumers are recommended to buy potatoes from Cyprus and more tulips in February.
Mener Kommissionen, at denne reklamekampagne er forenelig med EU's miljø- og klimapolitik.
Does the Commission consider that this campaign is consistent with the EU's environment and climate policy?
Hvad ville det betyde for miljøet og klimaet, hvis de svenske forbrugere købte flere kartofler fra Cypern og færre af de lokalt producerede kartofler?
What would the implications be for the environment and climate if Swedish consumers bought more potatoes from Cyprus and fewer of those grown locally?
Hvad vil konsekvenserne være, hvis flere mennesker køber tulipaner i februar?
What would the consequences be if more people bought tulips in February?
Har Kommissionen analyseret konsekvenserne, hvad angår miljø- og klimavirkningerne af denne kampagne?
Has the Commission carried out an assessment of this campaign's impact on the environment and climate?

Om: Uretmæssige skattelettelser i koncessionskontrakten for Pier II i containerterminalen i havnen i Piræus
Subject: Unfair tax concessions in connection with the contract for Wharf No 2 of the Port of Piraeus container terminal (SEMPO)
Tildelingen af koncessionskontrakten for Pier II i containerterminalen i havnen i Piræus til det kinesiske selskab Cosco er i disse dage fremlagt til ratificering i det græske parlament.
The contract for Wharf 2 of the Port of Piraeus container terminal (SEMPO) to the Chinese company Cosco is to be submitted for approval to the Greek Parliament over the next few days.
Kontrakten har medført stærke reaktioner hos arbejdstagere og institutioner på grund af de hidtil usete skattemæssige privilegier, den græske regering giver det kinesiske selskab.
It has provoked a strong reaction from workers and from a number of organisations because of the unprecedented tax concessions being offered by the Greek Government to the Chinese company.
I henhold til artikler i kontrakten får den kinesiske virksomhed bl.a. det privilegium at blive fritaget for stempelafgift på alle lånte midler rejst til at finansiere projektet, en øjeblikkelig momsrefusion — som i tilfælde af forsinkelser på mere end 60 dage er med rente — en »tidsubegrænset« overførsel af akkumulerede tab til udligning af skattepligtige overskud osv. Samtidig påtager havnen i Piræus, som skal administrere Pier II i containerterminalen, sig en række omkostninger i forbindelse med at flytte tanke, rense havbunden, flytte bygninger osv.
Under the contract, the Chinese company enjoys a number of advantages, including exemption from stamp duty on all loans to fund the project, immediate VAT reimbursement — with interest for any delay beyond 60 days —‘indefinite loss carryover for setoff against taxable profits etc. <QT.END'</QT.END> At the same time, the Piraeus Port Organisation, which will be responsible for managing SEMPO Wharf 1, is being faced with considerable outlay for the relocation of docks and buildings, dredging activities etc.

Om: Handicappedes ligestilling i forbindelse med deres rejser med offentlige transportmidler
Subject: Equal rights for people with disabilities when using public transport
EU har en reel og effektiv mobilitet for EU's borgere som en af sine målsætninger.
One of the European Union's objectives is genuine and effective mobility for EU citizens.
For at fremme en reel mobilitet burde alle Europas borgere have lige muligheder for mobilitet.
In order to promote genuine mobility, however, all European citizens should have equal opportunities to travel.
Handicappede, som har brug for en hjælper for at bevæge sig, er ikke ligestillede i forhold til de øvrige passagerer, når de rejser med offentlige transportmidler.
People with disabilities who require an escort when travelling are not on a footing of equality with other travellers on public transport.
Forskellig praksis i forskellige medlemslande, f.eks. med hensyn til, om der skal opkræves betaling for hjælperen eller ej, gør det umuligt at forudsige rejseudgifterne.
The differing practices in the various Member States with regard, for example, to whether the escort is required to pay a fare or not make the cost of travelling unpredictable.
I mange medlemslande kan de opererende jernbanelinjer meddele i udrejselandet, at den handicappede ikke behøver at betale for hjælperens rejse, men på tilbagerejsen fra en anden medlemsstat kan der imidlertid i modstrid med den oprindelige instruks alligevel opkræves betaling.
On train services operating in some Member States, it is customary to inform passengers in the country of departure that a person with disabilities will not be required to pay a fare for his escort on the outgoing journey but that when returning from another Member State payment of the fare may nonetheless be demanded, contrary to the original instruction.
Den handicappede, som har brug for en ledsager, skal særskilt undersøge medlemslandets praksis i de enkelte medlemslande, hvor den handicappede rejser med offentlige transportmidler.
A person with disabilities who requires an escort must himself ascertain what the practice is in each individual Member State with regard to payment of an escort's fare on public transport.
Andre passagerer har ikke brug for et sådant besværligt undersøgelsesarbejde for at opnå informationer om rejsen.
Other passengers do not have to undertake such laborious research in order to obtain information about travel.
Er det korrekt, at Kommissionen har planer om at gøre det lettere at rejse for handicappede som har brug for en hjælper?
Is it true that the Commission has plans to make it easier for people with disabilities who require escorts to travel?
Har Kommissionen planer om en fælles definition af handicappede, som vil give den handicappede et certifikat for at være handicappet?
Does the Commission intend to introduce a uniform procedure for defining disability, which would involve issuing people who have disabilities with a certificate of disability?
Et fælles permanent certifikat ville gøre det lettere for den handicappede at få assistance og ville fremme mobiliteten og samtidig sikre en ligeværdig og lige behandling uanset medlemsland.
A single uniform permanent certificate would make it easier for people with disabilities to obtain services and promote mobility while at the same time guaranteeing fair and equal treatment irrespective of Member State.
Er det korrekt, at Kommissionen er ved at udarbejde et paneuropæisk ledsagerkort, som vil medføre en fælles procedure for definition af handicappede, og som vil give handicappede et handicapcertifikat, som kan forevises for forskellige europæiske tjenesteydere?
Is it true that the Commission is creating a common European escort's pass, applying a uniform procedure for defining disability, which will give people with disabilities evidence of their disabilities and of the need for an escort for presentation to the various service providers in Europe?

Om: Nej til registrering af tv-stationen Belsat TV
Subject: Refusal to register Belsat TV bureau
Det belarussiske udenrigsministerium nægter at registrere et kontor for Belsat TV i Belarus.
The Belarusian foreign ministry is refusing to register a Belsat TV bureau in Belarus.
Det drejer sig om den eneste uafhængige tv-station, der dækker Belarus, og som kan ses i landet.
Belsat is the only independent television channel covering Belarus that reaches the country.
Den 15. januar 2009 anmodede Parlamentet Rådet og Kommissionen om at opfordre den belarussiske regering til officielt at registrere Belsat TV i Belarus.
On 15 January 2009 the European Parliament called on the Council and Commission to urge the Belarusian Government to officially register Belsat in Belarus.
Registreringsansøgningen, der blev fremsat den 22. december 2008, opfyldte alle formelle krav.
The application for registration lodged on 22 December 2008 satisfied all formal requirements.
Det belarussiske udenrigsministerium baserer sit nej på en ministerrådsforordning, som blev vedtaget den 25. december 2008, dvs. tre dage efter at tv-stationen havde forelagt registreringspapirerne.
The Belarusian foreign ministry is basing its decision to reject the application on a government order issued on 25 December 2008, i.e. three days after the channel lodged the registration papers.
Denne forordning stiller nye krav til ansøgninger fra udenlandske sendere, der anmoder om tilladelse til at åbne et kontor i Belarus.
That order laid down additional requirements for applications from foreign broadcasters seeking permission to open a bureau in Belarus.
Den virkelige grund til nej'et er, at de belarussiske myndigheder er uvillige til at registrere et kontor, der drives af denne uafhængige tv-station.
The real reason for the refusal is that the Belarusian authorities are unwilling to register a bureau run by this independent channel.
Dette er i modstrid med bestræbelserne på at skabe tillid mellem Belarus og EU.
This attitude is out of step with the confidence-building process between Belarus and the European Union.
Det bør tilføjes, at det især er chokerende i lyset af kommissær Benita Ferrero Waldners besøg i marts og den kontrol af overholdelsen af menneskerettighederne, som EU skal foretage i april.
It is particularly shocking in the light of Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner's visit in March and the review of compliance with human rights standards that the EU is to conduct in April.
Siden den 8. februar 2009 er medielovgivningen blevet strengere i Belarus.
Tougher media laws came into force in Belarus on 8 February 2009.
En del af de journalister, der arbejder sammen med Belsat TV, får allerede advarsler fra KGB eller idømmes bøder.
Some of the journalists working with Belsat TV have already been warned by the KGB or have been fined.
Hvad agter Kommissionen at foretage sig i denne sag?
What action does the Commission intend to take in this matter?
Vil nej'et til at registrere Belsat TV´s kontor i Belarus få indvirkning på EU's myndigheders fremtidige holdning til Belarus?
Will the refusal to register a Belsat TV bureau in Belarus have an influence on the EU authorities' future conduct towards that country?

The Commission, in its Answer E‑0774/08 of 2 April 2008 relating to the ICIO tax exemption in favour of the Catholic Church in Spain, and previously on 27 August 2007, indicated that a detailed analysis of this exemption had been initiated in cooperation with the Spanish authorities, that ‘the Commission is examining Spain's response’ and that ‘the Commission will inform directly the Honourable Members of the results of its review once the examination of Spain's arguments is completed’.
Der er nu gået elleve måneder siden det sidste svar, hvor det blev lovet, at resultaterne af undersøgelsen i denne sag ville blive fremsendt til spørgerne.
Since 11 months have passed since its last answer promising to provide us with the results of this review:
Kan Kommissionen derfor oplyse, hvad de spanske myndigheders svar gik ud på?
Could the Commission inform us of the response given by the Spanish authorities?
Kan den endvidere meddele, hvilke konklusioner den er nået frem til, næsten et år efter at undersøgelsen blev iværksat?
Could it also inform us what conclusions the Commission has reached almost one year after launching the investigation?

WRITTEN QUESTION P-1629/09
Om: Amerikansk biodiesel — støtte og dumping
Subject: US biodiesel subsidies and dumping
Biodiesel har i de senere år forøget sin markedsandel.
The market share accounted for by the biodiesel industry has increased in the last few years.
Denne tendens har dog været ledsaget af en illoyal handelspraksis, som strider mod WTO's principper.
This trend has, however, gone hand in hand with the emergence of improper trading practices in breach of WTO principles.
Nærmere bestemt har den europæiske biodieselsektor lidt kraftigt under eksporten af amerikansk biodiesel, benævnt B99, som i USA er genstand for støtte og dumping.
Specifically, the European biodiesel industry has been severely harmed by exports of US B99 biodiesel and the subsidies and dumping that lie behind them.
Eftersom denne model også finder anvendelse på biodiesel blandet med almindelig diesel på anlæg uden for De Forenede Stater, til en samlet pris på 1 dollar pr. gallon, har resultatet været, at 80 % af den amerikanske produktion i 2007 og 2008 gik til EU-markedet.
Bearing in mind that the same thing happens with the biodiesel blended with ordinary diesel fuel at plants outside the US, involving a total cost of USD 1 a gallon, 80 % of US production was channelled towards the EU market in 2007 and 2008.
Kombinationen af støtte og dumping har gjort, at amerikansk biodiesel kan sælges på EU-markedet med en prisforskel på mellem 120 og 180 USD pr. ton i forhold til biodiesel produceret i EU med de heraf følgende skader for EU's egen produktion.
The combination of subsidies and dumping has enabled US biodiesel sold on the market to benefit from a price difference ranging from USD 120 to USD 180 per metric tonne compared with biodiesel produced in the EU, and EU production has been hit accordingly.
Mange virksomheder i sektoren er gået fallit eller har indgivet konkursbegæring, mens andre har indstillet produktionen midlertidigt, og nye aktører i sektoren helt har opgivet at iværksætte nogen produktion, selv om de allerede havde investeret i projekter med henblik herpå.
Many companies have folded or declared bankruptcy; others have temporarily stopped producing; and new entrants in the sector have decided not to start, even though they might already have invested in the corresponding projects.
Alt dette har påført sektoren økonomiske og beskæftigelsesmæssige skader, hvis følger ikke kan ignoreres.
All this has damaged the industry in financial and employment terms, and the consequences are impossible to ignore.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at der må vedtages hurtige og afskrækkende foranstaltninger til bekæmpelse af denne illoyale praksis for atter at gøre biodiesel produceret i EU konkurrencedygtig?
Does not the Commission believe that steps need to be taken rapidly to discourage improper practices of this kind, in order to ensure that biodiesel produced within the EU will once again be competitive?

Om: Arbejdstider for selvstændige inden for vejtransport
Subject: Working hours of the self-employed in road transport
Mandag den 2. marts forkastede Europa-Parlamentets Udvalg om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender Kommissionens forslag om at undtage selvstændige chauffører uden personale inden for vejtransport fra arbejdstidsdirektivets anvendelsesområde.
On Monday, 2 March, the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs of the European Parliament rejected the Commission's proposal to exclude self-employed drivers working in road haulage who do not employ any staff from the scope of the Working Hours Directive.
Herved er der risiko, for at virkelig selvstændige erhvervsdrivende inden for vejtransport fra den 23. marts bliver omfattet af direktivets anvendelsesområde.
There is a danger that, as a result of this, genuine self-employed entrepreneurs in road haulage will fall within the scope of the directive from 23 March.
EU's medlemsstater var imidlertid blevet enige om ikke at gennemføre denne tidsfrist, eftersom Kommissionen kom med et alternativt forslag.
However, the EU Member States had agreed not to act on this deadline because the Commission intended to submit a substitute proposal.
De fremgik nemlig af en konsekvensanalyse, at det ville være godt for konkurrencen inden for transportsektorer, godt for håndhævelsen, godt for transportsektoren som helhed og ikke skadeligt for trafiksikkerheden, hvis virkelige selvstændige erhvervsdrivende ikke blev omfattet af direktivets anvendelsesområde.
This was because the impact assessment had shown that it is good for competition in the transport industry, good for enforcement, good for the transport industry as a whole and not bad for road safety to continue to exclude genuinely self-employed drivers from the scope of the directive.
Er Kommissionen bekendt med resultatet af afstemningen den 2. marts 2009 i Europa-Parlamentets Udvalg om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender?
Is the Commission aware of the results of the vote of 2 March 2009 in the European Parliament's Committee on Employment and Social Affairs?
Vil Kommissionen indtrængende opfordre medlemsstaterne til ikke at anvende gældende lovgivning, hvori det fastsættes, at selvstændige er omfattet af direktivet fra den 23. marts 2009, indtil der er fundet en endelig løsning på spørgsmålet om arbejdstiden for virkelig selvstændige inden for vejtransport?
Will the Commission urge the Member States not to apply the existing legislation, which requires the self-employed to be covered by the directive from 23 March 2009, until a definitive solution has been found for the issue of the working hours of the genuinely self-employed in road haulage?
I benægtende fald, hvorledes vil Kommissionen da sikre, at denne lovgivning håndhæves på formålstjenlig, rimelig og afskrækkende vis?
If not, how will the Commission ensure that this legislation is enforced effectively, proportionately and in such a manner as to deter would-be offenders?
Hvilke foranstaltninger vil Kommissionen træffe for at afspejle resultaterne af konsekvensvurderingen?
What measures will the Commission take to do justice to the results of the impact assessment?
Kommissionens forslag havde også til formål at løse problemet med falske selvstændige erhvervsdrivende på europæisk niveau.
The Commission proposal was also intended to solve the problem of the bogus self-employed at European level.
