Om: VP/HR — fanger i Afghanistan
Subject: VP/HR — Prisoners in Afghanistan
I går blev det rapporteret, at FN snart vil offentliggøre en rapport om tortur i afghanske fængsler.
Yesterday it was reported that the UN is to publish a report on torture in Afghan jails.
Ifølge rapporten bliver fanger i nogle fængsler systematisk slået og udsat for elektriske stød, og rapporten foreslår at bede NATO om at suspendere overførsel af indsatte til visse faciliteter.
The report alleges that in some prisons detainees have been systematically beaten and given electric shocks and suggests that as a result NATO will be asked to suspend prisoner transfers to some facilities.
Menneskerettighedsorganisationen Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission har bekræftet disse beskyldninger og siger, at stort set alle fanger dagligt tortureres for at få dem til at afgive tilståelser.
The human rights organisation Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission has corroborated these allegations, claiming that almost all prisoners in custody are tortured on a daily basis to make them confess.
Er den højtstående repræsentant bekendt med disse beskyldninger?
Is the High Representative aware of these allegations?
Hvad foretager den højtstående repræsentant sig i forbindelse med EU's strategi for menneskerettigheder og den højtstående repræsentants relationer til de afghanske myndigheder for at beskytte disse fangers menneskerettigheder?
What is the High Representative doing in the context of the EU’s human rights strategy and of its relations with the Afghan authorities to protect these prisoners’ human rights?
Hvordan vil den højtstående repræsentant reagere på disse bekymrende beskyldninger, særligt i forbindelse med EU's politikker i Afghanistan?
How does the High Representative intend to respond to these alarming allegations, with specific reference to EU policies in Afghanistan?

Om: VP/HR — Serbiens tiltrædelse af EU
Subject: VP/HR — Accession of Serbia to the European Union
Den tyske kansler Angela Merkel mødtes under sit seneste besøg i Serbien den 23. august 2011 med Serbiens præsident Boris Tadic.
On her recent visit to Serbia on 23 August, the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, met the President of Serbia, Boris Tadic.
Den tyske kansler udtalte, at Serbiens fremtid ligger i EU, og hun lykønskede Serbien med den nylige anholdelse af to mistænkte for krigsforbrydelser, Ratko Mladic og Goran Hadzic, og deres oversendelse til Haag, hvilket var en forudsætning for, at Serbien kunne få kandidatstatus.
The German Chancellor mentioned that the future of Serbia was with the European Union, while also congratulating Serbia for recently arresting two key war-crimes suspects, Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadzic and extraditing them to the Hague — which was a precondition for Serbia to be granted candidate status.
Angela Merkel fremsatte imidlertid også en række betingelser i forbindelse med Kosovo, som Serbien skal opfylde, hvis landet ønsker at blive anerkendt som EU‑kandidat i år.
But Angela Merkel also issued a set of conditions linked to Kosovo that Serbia must fulfil if it wants to be accepted as an EU candidate this year.
Navnlig understregede hun, at »hvis Serbien ønsker at opnå kandidatstatus, bør det genoptage dialogen med Kosovo og opnå resultater i denne dialog, give EULEX mulighed for at arbejde i alle regioner i Kosovo og afskaffe de parallelle forvaltningsstrukturer, som stadig findes i det nordlige Kosovo« (f.eks. postkontorer, skoler og kommunalforvaltning).
Specifically, she said, ‘If Serbia wants to achieve candidate status it should resume the dialogue with Kosovo and achieve results in that dialogue, enable EULEX to work in all regions of Kosovo, and abolish its parallel administrative structures still operating in Kosovo’s north’ (such as post offices, schools and municipal administrations.)
Hvad mener den højtstående repræsentant for udenrigsanliggender om de nylige betingelser, som Angela Merkel opstillede for Serbien, og ligger der heri en antydning af en dato for indledning af forhandlinger?
What is the position of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs on the recent conditions that Angela Merkel set for Serbia, and are these conditions suggestive of a date for the opening of negotiations?
Vil afskaffelsen af disse »parallelle forvaltningsstrukturer« være en forudsætning for, at Serbien kan få kandidatstatus i år, og, endnu vigtigere, at det kan tiltræde EU?
Will the abolition of these ‘parallel administrative structures’ be laid down as a prerequisite for Serbia’s candidacy this year and more importantly for its accession to the EU?

Om: VP/HR — modvirke russisk pres på Ukraine
Subject: VP/HR — Counteracting Russian pressure on Ukraine
EU er i øjeblikket ved at forhandle vilkårene i associeringsaftalen, som bl.a. omfatter en frihandelsaftale, med Ukraine.
The European Union is currently negotiating the terms of an association agreement with Ukraine, including a free trade agreement.
Rusland modarbejder disse forhandlinger.
Russia is actively acting against such negotiations.
For første gang siden Den Kolde Krig modarbejder en stat officielt og offentligt et andet lands suveræne og legitime målsætning om at nærme sig EU.
For the first time since the Cold War a state is officially and publically opposing another country’s sovereign and legitimate aims to come closer to the EU.
De russiske myndigheder lægger flere former for pres på Ukraine, herunder økonomisk.
The Russian authorities are using a number of pressure tactics on Ukraine, including economic ones.
De udnytter gasforhandlingerne mellem Kiev og Moskva til egen fordel.
They are exploiting to their advantage the gas negotiations between Kiev and Moscow.
Prisen på dette råstof spiller en afgørende rolle for Ukraines økonomiske konkurrenceevne, idet Ukraines energiforbrugende økonomi er meget afhængig af gas.
The price of this raw material is key in the context of Ukraine’s economic competitiveness, since Ukraine’s energy-consuming economy is very much dependent on gas.
Gassen spiller også en vigtig rolle for landets husholdninger.
It is also very important to every household in the country.
Ukrainerne afkræves i dag en af de højeste gaspriser i Europa.
Ukrainians are today paying among the highest gas prices in Europe.
Jeg mener, at EU aktivt bør støtte Ukraine under landets gasforhandlinger med Rusland, navnlig fordi én af de vigtigste gastransitruter til Europa går gennem Ukraine.
I believe the European Union should actively support Ukraine in its gas negotiations with Russia, not least because one of the main gas transit routes to Europe runs through that country.
EU bør efter min mening: 1.
In my opinion, the EU should: 1.
overbevise Rusland om, at landet bør afholde sig fra at presse Ukraine til ikke at undertegne associeringsaftalen, 2.
Persuade Russia to stop pressuring Ukraine not to sign the association agreement; 2.
aktivt støtte Ukraines forhandlinger om prisen på russisk gas.
Actively support Ukraine in its negotiations over the price of Russian gas.
Jeg vil derfor spørge den højtstående repræsentant, om EU‑Udenrigstjenesten vil følge en sådan fremgangsmåde?
Therefore, I would like to ask the High Representative whether the EEAS will take such action?
På hvilken måde vil den i bekræftende fald søge at opnå disse mål?
If so, in what way does it intend to achieve these goals?

Om: Gennemførelse af LEADER-programmerne i Martinique
Subject: Implementation of Leader programmes in Martinique
I Martinique gennemfører de lokale aktionsgrupper (LAG) redskabet LEADER i henhold til de strategier, som de folkevalgte repræsentanter har udarbejdet, i fællesskab med de økonomiske og sociale aktører.
Local Action Groups (LAGs) in Martinique are implementing the Leader programmes in line with strategies developed by elected representatives, and in consultation with the two sides of industry.
Disse lokale aktionsgrupper har gjort mig opmærksom på de mange administrative, organisatoriske og finansielle vanskeligheder, som begrænser gennemførelsen af LEADER: —
The LAGs have informed me of a number of administrative, organisational and financial difficulties which are hindering the implementation of the Leader programmes: —
I 2009 og 2010 har det primært drejet sig om aftalerammerne og opstart, især for de LAG, som ikke tidligere har haft erfaring med LEADER. —
2009 and 2010 saw the approval and launching of projects, particularly in the case of LAGs which had not had any previous experience of Leader programmes; —
De lokale aktionsgrupper i Martinique fokuserer på de samme områder som programmet for udvikling af landdistrikter i Martinique (PDRM), hvilket skaber gentagelser og i samme omfang reducerer de forskellige programmers gennemsigtighed. —
the LAGs in Martinique are developing within the same parameters as the Rural Development Programme for Martinique (RDPM), which is creating overlap and blurring the boundaries between the programmes; —
Lofterne for PDRM-foranstaltninger er ofte meget lave, hvilket betyder, at mange projekter ikke er støtteberettigede. —
the cost ceilings of the RDPM measures are often very low, which means that many projects are not eligible; —
De potentielle projektledere er ofte begrænset af deres selvfinansieringsevne, idet bankerne kun alt for sjældent træder til.
potential project initiators are often limited by their cash flow potential, as banks still provide funding only very rarely.
Disse faktorer har medført store forsinkelser i planlægningen og betalingen af sagerne til trods for mobiliseringen af interessenterne og det arbejde, der er udført i marken.
These factors have led to significant delays in planning and funding, despite the efforts of the project stakeholders and the work which has already been carried out on the ground.
I artikel 5.4.1.1 »Overholdelse af forfaldsplanen for betaling« i aftalerne om gennemførelse af akse 4 i PDRM fastsættes det, at de lokale aktionsgrupper, som ikke overholder deres minimumsprofil for kumulerede ELFUL-betalinger, kan risikere at få deres bevillinger reduceret, navnlig i tilfælde af samlet automatisk frigørelse.
Article 5.4.1.1, Compliance with the payment schedule, of the implementation agreements in Axis 4 of the RDPM stipulates that LAGs which fail to comply with the EARDF aggregate minimum payments schedule could see their budgets reduced, especially in the event of global automatic decommitment.
I betragtning af de vanskeligheder, der har været i Martinique i forbindelse med udførelsen af LEADER-programmet, men også af projekter i instruktions- og opførelsesfasen, ville det være rimeligt at fravige princippet om reduktion af bevillingerne.
In view of the problems faced in Martinique in implementing the Leader programme, as well as in implementing the projects which are currently being evaluated or set up, it would be appropriate to grant a derogation from the rule on reducing budgets.
Kan Kommissionen redegøre nærmere for sin holdning til dette spørgsmål og forklare, hvordan den agter at lette gennemførelsen af LEADER-programmet i Martinique?
Could the Commission outline its position on this issue and explain how it intends to facilitate the implementation of the Leader programmes in Martinique?

Om: Endeligt forbud mod dimethylfumarat og EU's import af produkter indeholdende dette biocid
Subject: Permanent ban on dimethyl fumarate and on imports of products containing that biocide into the EU
Kommissionen oplyste i sit svar på mit skriftlige spørgsmål H‑0163/2010 om forbud mod dimethylfumarat, at forslaget om forbuddet forventedes at blive indsendt til Det Europæiske Kemikalieagentur (ECHA) i april 2010, og at det herefter ville tage omkring 18 måneder at vurdere forslaget.
In its reply to my Written Question, H‑0163/2010, on the prohibition of dimethyl fumarate, the Commission stated that the proposal for a permanent ban was to be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in April 2010 and that evaluation of the proposal would then take approximately 18 months.
Det blev også oplyst, at det midlertidige forbud var blevet forlænget indtil den 15. marts 2011.
It also stated that the temporary ban had been extended to 15 March 2011.
I henhold til indsamlede oplysninger er europæiske medborgere de sidste to år fortsat blevet ramt af brandsår, hvilket skyldes forekomsten af dimethylfumarat i tøj eller ting fortrinsvis fremstillet i Kina.
Reports indicate that more Europeans have suffered outbreaks of skin irritation over the past two years as a result of the presence of dimethyl fumarate in clothing or other manufactured goods, most of which were produced in China.
Kommissionen kan vel ikke stille sig tilfreds med et midlertidigt forbud år efter år.
The Commission should not be content merely to extend a temporary ban from one year to the next.
Derfor bedes Kommissionen oplyse mig om konklusionerne på ECHA's undersøgelse.
Can it therefore indicate the conclusions of the evaluation requested from the ECHA?

Om: Folkesundhed — sagen om den »blå mozzarella«
Subject: Public health — the ‘blue mozzarella’ case
I juni og juli 2010 vakte nyhederne om den »blå mozzarella« fra den bajerske virksomhed Milchwerk Jäger i flere uger opsigt i hele verden.
In June and July 2010, for a number of weeks the reports of ‘blue mozzarella’ emerging from the Bavarian company Milchwerk Jäger occupied headlines worldwide.
Virksomheden Milchwerk Jäger angav hurtigt, at årsagen til den blå farve i mozzarellaosten var bakterien Pseudomonas fluorescens, der er udbredt i jordbunden, og som tilsyneladende er uskadelig.
Milchwerk Jäger swiftly identified the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens (present in the soil and apparently harmless) as the cause of the mozzarella turning blue.
Med stor sandsynlighed var bakterien trængt ind i fabrikkens drikkevandforsyning.
It appears to have entered the factory's water supply.
Både de bajerske myndigheder og Bruxelles tilsluttede sig dette synspunkt.
This position was reiterated by the Bavarian authorities and by Brussels.
Det er imidlertid ubestridt, at jordbakterien Pseudomonas fluorescens er en farlig bakterie, hvilket bekræftes af mange undersøgelser, som f.eks.:
It nonetheless remains the case that Pseudomonas fluorescens is a dangerous bacterium, as has been confirmed by numerous studies.
»Pseudomonas fluorescens alters epithelial permeability and translocates across Caco 2/TC7 intestinal cells« -LMDF-SME, Laboratory of Cold Microbiology-Signals and Microenvironment, Evreux (Frankrig).
Among these studies may be mentioned: ‘ Pseudomonas fluorescens alters epithelial permeability and translocates across Caco-2/TC7 intestinal cells’ (LMDF-SME, Laboratory of Cold Microbiology — Signals and Microenvironment, Evreux, France).
Nogle måneder senere blev der imidlertid offentliggjort en ny udgave med hensyn til kontamineringen, som denne gang udelukkede enhver sundhedsrisiko.
A few months later, a new interpretation of the contamination episode began to circulate, this time excluding all and any health risk.
Pseudomonas fluorescens, hvis tilstedeværelse ifølge Hermann Jäger i sommeren 2010 var blevet videnskabeligt bevist med et vist forbrug af penge og var blevet oplyst til EU‑myndighederne, omtales ikke længere.
No further mention has been made of Pseudomonas fluorescens , which to go by Mr Jäger's statements of summer 2010 had been scientifically considered responsible, as demonstrated at a certain financial cost and communicated to the EU authorities.
Kan Kommissionen sikre, at BFR's holdning garanterer folkesundheden? —
Is the Commission sure that the position defended by the BfR is compatible with public health imperatives? —
Har Kommissionen foretaget kontroller for at verificere denne besynderlige modsigelse?
Has the Commission taken steps to investigate what appears to be a bizarre contradiction?

Om: De græske og bulgarske myndigheders overtrædelse af lovgivningen
Subject: Violation of the law by the Greek and Bulgarian authorities
Seks bulgarske sømænd er blevet forulempet af det græske retsvæsen.
Six Bulgarian seamen are to appear in court in the Greece.
Årsagen er, at de den 23. juni 2011 blev anholdt i græske territorialfarvande, fordi de blev mistænkt for smugling af cigaretter.
The reason for this is that on 23 June this year, they were arrested in Greek territorial waters on the charge of cigarette smuggling.
Det er vigtigt at understrege, at det i henhold til bestemmelserne i søretten om skibes last er skibets kaptajn, og ikke mandskabet, der drages til ansvar i sådanne sager.
The interesting thing is that, under maritime law, responsibility for the cabotage and contents of cargoes lies with the ship owner and captain of the vessel and not with the crew.
Det faktum, at sømændene ikke fik nogen hjælp fra repræsentanterne for de bulgarske myndigheder i Grækenland, gør mig forbløffet, ja endog skeptisk.
The fact that the representatives of the Bulgarian authorities in Greece have given the seamen no assistance is amazing, and even suspicious.
Advokatomkostningerne er blevet betalt af privatpersoner.
The legal fees have been met by private individuals.
Jeg forelægger dette alvorlige problem for mine kolleger i håbet om, at vi kan sikre mandskabet en retfærdig rettergang, idet jeg gør opmærksom på, at de tilbageholdte alle er omkring 60 år, at en af dem er indlagt på hospitalet for at få en hjerteoperation, og at en anden har insulinkrævende diabetes.
I would like to acquaint my honourable colleagues with this serious issue, in the hope that the crew can be guaranteed a fair trial, especially in view of the fact that the detainees are aged around 60, one of them is in hospital for a heart operation, and the other is an insulin diabetic.
I øvrigt bør det undersøges, hvorfor de græske myndigheder handler på en utilladelig måde, idet de tilbageholdte allerede har ventet tre måneder på at blive dømt.
More light should also be cast on why the Greek authorities have been acting wrongfully and why the detainees have already been denied justice for three months.
Retsstatsprincippet kan under ingen omstændigheder tilsidesættes, og jeg kræver en tilbundsgående undersøgelse af dette problem.
The supremacy of the law must not be undermined in any way, and I call for a detailed investigation into this issue.
Hvilken holdning har Kommissionen til denne sag, som giver anledning til adskillige spørgsmål om en retfærdig rettergang og overtrædelse af de grundlæggende menneskerettigheder?
What is the Commission’s position on this matter, which raises many question marks as regards fair trial and the violation of fundamental human rights?

Om: Fri adgang til resultaterne af EU's forskningsprogrammer
Subject: Open access to the results of European research programmes
Den frie adgang til videnskabelige forskningsresultater er grundlaget for udviklingen af den videnskabelige forskning.
Open access to scientific research findings is an essential foundation for the development of such research.
I forbindelse med forhandlingerne om det 7. rammeprogram understregede Kommissionen i 2006 i sin meddelelse (KOM(2007)0056) betydningen af adgangen til og spredningen af forskningsresultater med henblik på at fremme udviklingen af det europæiske forskningsrum, og den gav udtryk for sin hensigt om at tage initiativer i den retning.
In its 2006 communication on the subject (COM(2006)0056) and in its discussions on the seventh framework programme, the Commission stressed the importance of access to and dissemination of research findings so as to enhance the development of the European Research Area and underlined its intention to take measures along these lines, noting that ‘open access can increase the impact of scientific research and innovation through improved access to and rapid dissemination of research results’.
Det fremgår bl.a., at »[f]ri adgang kan give videnskabelig forskning og innovation større virkning, fordi det medfører bedre adgang til og hurtigere formidling af forskningsresultater.« En sådan strategi ville kunne medføre mange fordele, som f.eks. nedbringelse af antallet af fejl, virksomhedernes, og navnlig de små og mellemstore virksomheders, anvendelse af resultaterne og nedbringelse af udgifterne til videnskabelige publikationer ved anvendelse af internettet.
A strategy of this kind could bring many benefits, such as reducing errors, making use of research findings by companies, especially SMEs, and lowering the cost of scientific publications through use of the Internet.
I betragtning af ovenstående, og set i lyset af at forhandlingerne om tilrettelæggelsen af det 8. rammeprogram allerede er begyndt, bedes Kommissionen besvare følgende spørgsmål: 1.
In the light of the above, and given that it has already begun deliberations on the organisation of the Eighth Framework Programme, will the Commission answer the following: 1.
Hvordan er Kommissionens forslag om fri adgang til resultaterne af de forskningsprogrammer, som finansieres af EU, blevet realiseret?
What has been done to implement its proposals on open access to the results of EU‑funded research programmes?
I sin meddelelse gav Kommissionen udtryk for sin hensigt om at tage initiativ til at lette adgangen til videnskabelige publikationer, som den selv har finansieret.
In its communication, the Commission expressed its willingness to take measures to improve access to publications which were the result of research it had funded.
