Ifølge Hellenic National Defence General Staff entrede korvetten »Beykoz« i går kl. 20.00 græsk territorialfarvand mellem Evia og Andros.
According to the Greek defence general staff, the Turkish navy corvette ‘Beykoz’ was spotted yesterday at 20.00 entering Greek territorial waters between Evvoia and Andros.
Omtrent samme tid, kl. 19.36, fløj tyrkiske F-16‑fly ind over det centrale Ægæiske Hav og cirkulerede rundt i området indtil kl. 19.58, hvor de blev opsnappet af græske jagerfly.
At approximately the same time, 19.36, Turkish F-16 aircraft entered central Aegean airspace and remained there until 19.58, when they were intercepted by Greek fighters.
Den blev observeret mellem Kea og Kythos, vest for Milos, med kurs mod øst mellem Santorini og Ios og er igen i dag observeret uden for tyrkisk territorialfarvand nordøst for Anafi.
The Turkish corvette continued on its course, sailing between Kea and Kynthos and to the west of Milos before heading east between Santorini and Ios.
Det tyrkiske skib er under konstant overvågning af skibe fra den græske flåde.
This morning it left Greek territorial waters and was spotted north-east of Anafi, where it is being kept under constant Greek navy surveillance.
Tyrkernes adfærd giver anledning til bekymring hos Pentagon, idet man kan konstatere, at den tyrkiske regering provokerer med handlinger, der resulterer i en eskalering af de spændte forhold i regionen.
Turkish manoeuvres are also causing concern among senior Pentagon staff, which regard these moves by Ankara as provocative and designed to increase tension.
Det skal bemærkes, at det er anden gang i løbet af en måned, at tyrkiske fly flyver om aftenen i området over Det Ægæiske Hav, men denne gang fløj jagerflyene om natten i kombination med den tyrkiske korvets sejlads.
This is the second time within about a month that Turkish aircraft have made evening sorties over the Aegean.
Nu, hvor jeg skriver denne forespørgsel, befinder det tyrkiske skib sig mellem Kos og Simi.
On this occasion, the Turkish corvette was sent in on a similar course and is, at the time of writing, situated between Kos and Symi.
Tyrkiet forsøger konsekvent at betvivle det faktum, at øerne i Det Ægæiske Hav har en kontinentalsokkel og en meget større EØZ, hvilket er et ubetvivlet spørgsmål for de europæiske lande og generelt for det internationale samfund, der anerkender den internationale havret.
Turkey is constantly trying to dispute the existence of the continental shelf and even more so the EEZ with regard to the Aegean islands, although this is an undisputed fact in the eyes of European and other countries governed by the International Law of the Sea.
Men i dette tilfælde mener jeg, at Tyrkiet forsøger at afpresse Europa for at nå sine mål.
In this particular instance, Turkey nonetheless appears determined to achieve its ends by intimidating Europe.
Har Kommissionen til hensigt at reagere effektivt og med verbal fordømmelse af Tyrkiets provokationer mod en EU‑medlemsstats territorialfarvand?
Does the Commission intend to take firm measures in response to Turkey’s provocative actions in the territorial waters of an EU Member State, as well as issuing a written condemnation thereof?

Om: Risiko for tungmetalforurening af importerede kinesiske landbrugsprodukter
Subject: Danger of contamination by heavy metals from imported Chinese agricultural products
I henhold til webstedet tvxs.gr (7. november 2011) er der en stor risiko for forurening i selve Kina, men også i Europa som følge af eksporten fra Kina af tungmetaller, der stammer fra støberier og andre farlige elementer, der udledes i naturen, og forårsager skader på nerve‑ og forplantningssystemet og på nyrerne, især hos bl.a. børn.
According to the website tvxs.gr (7.11.2011), there is a high risk of contamination within China but also, because of Chinese exports, in Europe because of the heavy metals from smelter chimneys and other hazardous elements which are released into the environment and are responsible for damage to the nervous and reproductive systems and kidneys, especially of children.
Den ansvarshavende ingeniør fra det kinesiske ministerium for miljøbeskyttelse har i en undersøgelse i år vedrørende faktorer, der forurener jorden, konstateret, at ca. 10 % af den opdyrkede jord i Kina har alvorlige problemer med forekomsten af tungmetaller, der overstiger de tilladte grænseværdier, som regeringen har fastsat.
In a survey this year on the elements that pollute the soil the chief engineer of the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection found that ‘overall about 10 % of arable land in China has major problems with levels of heavy metals that exceed the permissible limits’ set by the government.
Han udtalte ifølge avisen under et møde i Guangzhou, som er hovedstad i Guangdongprovinsen i det sydlige Kina, endvidere, at der inden for de seneste år er registreret gentagne tilfælde af forurening med tungmetaller, og for januar-februar alene er der registreret 11 tilfælde, hvoraf de ni vedrørte bly.
‘In recent years, there have been repeated cases of contamination with heavy metals, and from January to February alone 11 incidents were recorded, nine of them involving lead’ Wan told a conference in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province in southern China, according to a newspaper report.
Eftersom der åbner flere og flere butikker, der importerer produkter fra Kina, stiger også bekymringen for kvaliteten af de fødevarer, der bliver indtaget inden for EU's grænser.
As the shops importing products from China increasing, so concern is spreading about the quality of food consumed within the European Union.
Den manglende overholdelse af de minimumskrav, som Kommissionen har fastsat for samtlige importerede varer, er et spørgsmål til konstant bekymring.
Failure to meet the minimum standards set by the Commission for all imported goods is a matter of constant concern.
I betragtning af meddelelsen fra det kinesiske ministerium for miljøbeskyttelse, har Kommissionen da til hensigt at foretage yderligere kontrol af kvaliteten af de importerede produkter fra Kina? —
Given the announcement by the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, does it intend to carry out additional checks on the quality of imports from China? —
Har den ansvarlige kinesiske instans stillet garanti over for sin europæiske modpart for de kinesiske eksportvarer, og er denne i bekræftende fald baseret på europæiske standarder?
Has the competent body in China provided its European equivalent with a guarantee concerning Chinese exports and, if so, is it based on European standards?

Om: Manglende implementering af REACH-forordningen
Subject: Failure to implement the REACH Regulation
Den Europæiske Forbrugerorganisation (BEUC) har gennemført en undersøgelse af 34 varegrupper fra forskellige producenter for at finde ud af, om REACH-forordningen om kemiske stoffer i forbrugsvarer overholdes i praksis.
The European Consumers' Organisation (BEUC) has studied 34 categories of products from different manufacturers to ascertain whether the REACH Regulation on chemical substances in consumer goods is being implemented in practice.
I Grækenland blev denne undersøgelse gennemført af Centret for Forbrugerbeskyttelse (CFB), og resutatet var forstemmende.
In Greece this study was carried out by the consumer protection centre (KEPKA), and the results are disheartening.
CFB's konklusioner efter undersøgelsen af den formelle del af REACH-forordningen, d.v.s. af forbrugerinformationens korrekthed og ikke af korrektheden af producenternes svar, var for Grækenlands vedkommende følgende: CFB sendte 34 breve til virksomheder under foregivende af at være forbruger og modtog kun svar fra 13.
Focusing on the implementation of the corresponding section of the REACH Regulation, i.e. proper information for consumers rather than any verification of the answers received, the Greek consumer protection centre wrote to 34 companies in the guise of a consumer requesting information but received only 13 replies.
Kun tre af svarene ville være forståelige for den gennemsnitlige forbruger.
Of those replies, only three would have been comprehensible to the average consumer.
Hvilke foranstaltninger påtænker Kommissionen at træffe for at forbedre forholdet mellem virksomhederne og deres forbrugere, så førstnævntes respekt for sidstnævnte kan blive forøget? —
What steps will it take to improve relations between companies and consumers and thereby increase respect for consumers? —
Er der planer om at vedtage en politik, der tvinger virksomhederne til at rette sig efter de forordninger, der vedrører dem, hvis blot de bliver bekendtgjort for dem i god tid?
Are there any plans for a policy that would oblige companies to take account of EU regulations which affect them, provided they are notified in good time?

Om: Den offentlige vandforsyning
Subject: Public water supply systems
Det vurderes, at der på verdensplan sælges 200 mia. flasker mineralvand om året.
It is calculated that each year 200 billion bottles of mineral water are sold throughout the world.
I EU er det gennesnitlige forbrug af vand på flaske 109 l. pr. person, mens der på verdensplan forbruges 115 mio. m 3 .
In the EU average per capita consumption of bottled water is 109 litres, while 115 million cubic metres are consumed worldwide.
Industriens samlede fortjeneste nærmer sig 60 mia. USD, og store multinationale selskaber får broderparten.
Total profits to producers amount to around USD 60 billion with the large multinationals taking the lion’s share.
I 2008 konkluderede Den Internationale Arbejdsgruppe for Miljøet efter mange års undersøgelser, at vand på flaske ikke adskiller sig fra vandet fra vandhanen, hverken hvad angår sammensætning eller renhed.
In 2008, the International Environmental Working Group announced, following years of research, that bottled water was no different from tap water in terms of composition and purity.
Alligevel konsumeres der i Europa og USA i dag dobbelt så meget flaskevand som for ti år siden.
Nevertheless, twice as much bottled water is now being consumed in Europe and the USA as 10 years ago.
Ifølge en rapport fra organisationen Corporate Accountability International er det i løbet af de seneste 20 år lykkedes de store multinationale selskaber, der sælger vand på flaske, gennem en smædekampagne mod den offentlige vandforsyning at opbygge et marked til en værdi af 15 mia.
According to a report by Corporate Accountability International, large multinationals selling bottled water have, over the last 20 years, succeeded in building a market worth USD 15 billion by casting doubt on public water supply systems.
På grund af en aggressiv reklamekampagne og fordi forbrugerne er kommet i tvivl om kvaliteten af den offentlige vandforsyning, har de vendt sig til markedet for flaskevand med det resultat, at denne industri har forøget sin profit voldsomt.
Uncertain as to the quality of water from public supply systems and influenced by a vigorous advertising campaign, consumers have been turning to bottled water, generating vastly increased profits in this sector.
Der er fremsat anklager om, at flaskevandet i virkeligheden kommer fra den offentlige vandforsyning — efter en vis kemisk bearbejdelse.
At the same time, allegations have been made that bottled water is in fact water from public supply systems that has received further chemical treatment.
Foruden de mange tilfælde af infektioner, som flaskevandet er skyld i, rummer forbruget af det endnu en miljø- og samfundsmæssig risiko.
In addition to the numerous cases of contamination associated with bottled water, consumption thereof also represents a danger in environmental and social terms.
Selskabernes kommercielle udnyttelse af kilder og floder berøver os dyrebart vand, der kunne fordeles gratis via den offentlige vandforsyning.
The commercial exploitation of water sources and rivers by undertakings is effectively depriving consumers of valuable water which could otherwise be distributed free of charge through public supply systems.
Vurderer Kommissionen, at det er muligt at gennemføre en fuldstændig undersøgelse af vandkvaliteten i den offentlige vandforsyning i hele EU, så borgerne kan sikres adgang til den grundlæggende ret, som rent drikkevand er? —
Does the Commission consider that an in-depth investigation could be carried out within the European Union regarding the quality of water from supply networks, thereby respecting the fundamental right of citizens to access to pure water? —
Agter Kommissionen at forlange, at medlemsstaterne forpligter sig til at levere rent vand via den offentlige vandforsyning, så denne vildfarelse, der sætter borgerne i urimelige udgifter, kan bringes til ophør?
Will it ask the Member States to undertake to supply pure water through public supply systems so as to lay to rest a misunderstanding for which consumers are paying an excessively high price?

Om: VP/HR — Tvungne forsvindinger i Sindh I
Subject: VP/HR — Enforced disappearances in Sindh I
Mange kilder rapporterer om en stigning i antallet af tvungne forsvindinger blandt — og i mange tilfælde drab af — politiske aktivister i Sindhprovinsen i Pakistan.
Many sources have reported an increase in enforced disappearances — and, in many cases, killings ­— of political activists in the Sindh province of Pakistan.
Målet er ofte etniske og indfødte politiske aktivister, da disse for det meste er udstødte af samfundet og berøvet deres grundlæggende rettigheder og de former for beskyttelse, som den pakistanske regering burde sikre.
Ethnic and indigenous political activists are often targets as they are most often excluded from society and are deprived of the basic rights and forms of protection the Pakistan Government should ensure.
Aktivisterne, der arbejder for deres folks rettigheder, bliver ofre for dem, der forsøger at lukke munden på deres modstandere gennem frygt.
The activists, campaigning for their peoples’ rights, become the victims of those seeking to silence their opponents through fear.
I Sindh, hvor der findes en lang række etniske grupper, herunder sindhier, punjabier, baluchier, pashtuner og mohajirer, har disse episoder fundet sted alt for ofte.
In Sindh — home to a wide range of ethnic groups, including Sindhis, Punjabis, Baluchis, Pathans and Mohajirs — these incidents have happened too frequently.
Spændinger mellem minoriteter og politiske stridigheder i Karachi i 2011 har ført til en drastisk optrapning af volden.
A dramatic escalation in violence was caused by tensions between minorities and by political infighting in Karachi in 2011.
Ifølge rapporter anfører Pakistans menneskerettighedsudvalg, at der alene i de første seks måneder af 2011 blev dræbt ca. 1 000 mennesker, hvoraf 490 blev dræbt grund af politisk, etnisk eller sekterisk vold.
According to reports, Pakistan’s Human Rights Commission states that about 1 000 people were killed in the first six months of 2011 alone, 490 of those because of political, ethnic or sectarian violence.
Antallet af tvungne forsvindinger blandt politiske aktivister i Sindh har været stigende, og der har været meget få eller ingen relevante undersøgelser fra de pakistanske føderale myndigheders og provinsadministrationens side.
Enforced disappearances of political activists in Sindh have been increasing, with little or no meaningful investigation carried out by the Pakistani federal and provincial authorities.
Det asiatiske menneskerettighedsudvalg har ligeledes offentliggjort oplysninger om tvungne forsvindinger i juni 2011 blandt studenter fra universitetet i Sindh, der arbejdede for deres rettigheder.
The Asian Human Rights Commission has also published information about the enforced disappearance of students from Sindh University, who were campaigning for their rights, in June 2011.
Ovennævnte episoder viser en klar mangel på respekt for menneskerettighederne.
The abovementioned incidents show a clear lack of respect for human rights.
Hvad gør Tjenesten for EU's Optræden Udadtil for at afhjælpe tilfælde af tvungne forsvindinger i Sindh?
What is the European External Action Service doing to tackle cases of enforced disappearances in Sindh?
Hvilke foranstaltninger vil der blive truffet for at sikre entydig respekt af menneskerettighederne og for at få regeringerne til at ophøre med at tillade, at politiske aktivister forsvinder?
What action will be taken to ensure unequivocal respect for human rights and to stop governments from allowing the disappearance of political activists?

In Sindh — home to a wide range of ethnic groups, including Sindhis, Punjabis, Baluchis, Pathans and Mohajirs — such incidents have happened too frequently.
Ved åbent at tillade disse tvungne forsvindinger har den pakistanske regering overtrådt flere af FN's traktater som f.eks. den internationale konvention om civile og politiske rettigheder og konventionen mod tortur og anden grusom, umenneskelig eller nedværdigende behandling.
By openly allowing these enforced disappearances, the Pakistani Government has violated various United Nations treaties, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
På trods af den pakistanske regerings manglende opfyldelse af sine forpligtelser i henhold til disse traktater kunne vedtagelsen af den internationale konvention om beskyttelse af alle mennesker mod tvungne forsvindinger være et vigtigt værktøj, med hvilket det internationale samfund kunne lægge pres på Pakistan med henblik på effektivt at standse disse forsvindinger.
Despite the Pakistani Government’s failure to meet its obligations under these treaties, the adoption of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance could be an essential tool with which the international community could put pressure on Pakistan to effectively end these disappearances.
Vil næstformanden/den højtstående repræsentant opfordre Pakistan til at leve op til de forpligtelser, der fremgår af de FN‑traktater, de har vedtaget, og til at underskrive og ratificere den internationale konvention om tvungne forsvindinger?
Will the Vice-President/High Representative urge Pakistan to abide by the commitments outlined in the UN treaties it has adopted, and to sign and ratify the International Convention on Enforced Disappearances?
Næstformanden/den højtstående repræsentant bedes forklare sin beslutning og de foranstaltninger, der bør træffes, nærmere.
The Vice-President/High Representative is asked to explain in detail its decision and any steps to be taken on the matter.

Subject: Ban on microplastics in consumer products
Som opfølgning på spørgsmål fra mine kolleger (E‑000718/2011, E‑002413/2010, E‑000095/2011, E‑002302/11 og E‑002368/11) og kommissærens svar, hvor han udtaler, at han overvejer et forbud mod plastposer, bør det påpeges, at plastposer udgør en stor del af problemet, men det gør primær mikroplast produceret til direkte brug også, f.eks. eksfolierende midler og kosmetik, og til indirekte brug som prekursorer (såkaldte harpikspiller eller »nurdles«) til produktion af mange forskellige forbrugerprodukter.
Following questions from my colleagues (E‑000718/2011, E‑002413/2010, E‑000095/2011, E‑002302/11 and E‑002368/11) and the answers from the Commissioner, in which he states he is considering a ban on plastic bags, it should be pointed out that plastic bags are a large part of the problem, but so are primary microplastics produced for direct use, such as exfoliants and cosmetics, and for indirect use as precursors (so called resin pellets or nurdles) for the production of manifold consumer products.
Ved Kommissionen, hvor stor andelen af primær mikroplast fra forbrugerprodukter er af den samlede mængde affald fra mikroplast?
Does the Commission know what the share of primary microplastics from consumer products is in the total amount of waste from microplastics?

Om: VP/HR — det burmesiske militærs fortsatte krænkelser af menneskerettighederne
Subject: VP/HR — Continuing human rights abuse by the Burmese military
Den 29. november rapporterede Associated Press, at Burma/Myanmars militær fortsat begår grusomheder mod civilbefolkningen, navnlig mod landets etniske grupper.
On 29 November, the Associated Press reported that Burma/Myanmar’s military has continued to commit atrocities against the civilian population — in particular against the country’s ethnic groups.
Dette sker, selv om den regerende junta har forsikret, at den har taget skridt i retning af reformer.
This is despite assurances by the ruling junta that it was taking steps to reform.
Næsten 40 % af Burmas befolkning består af etniske mindretal.
Almost 40 % of Burma’s population is composed of ethnic minorities.
De fleste bor i landets ressourcerige grænseregioner.
They are mostly settled in the resource‑rich border regions of the country.
Mere end en million mennesker er blevet fordrevet og lever som flygtninge i Thailand og Bangladesh.
More than a million people have been displaced, and are living as refugees in Thailand and Bangladesh.
Sagen er, at mange af landets etniske grupper ville foretrække at leve under et føderalt system, hvilket militæret ikke ville tolerere.
The issue at stake is that many of the country’s ethnic groups would prefer to live under a federal system, which is something that would not be tolerated by the military.
Disse grupper omfatter bl.a.: kachin, karen, shan, karenni og chin.
These include: the Kachin, Karen, Shan, Karenni and Chin.
En våbenhvile fra 1989 med kachin og andre etniske grupper brød sammen i juni.
A ceasefire agreement which was brokered in 1989 with the Kachin and other ethnic groups broke down in June.
I begyndelsen af oktober angreb 200 soldater landsbyen Nam Lim Pa i kachinstaten, som ligger i landets nordlige del.
In early October, 200 troops attacked a village called Nam Lim Pa in Kachin State, which lies in the north of the country.
Mindst fem mennesker blev dræbt, og over 1 500 beboere blev tvunget til at forlade deres hjem.
At least five people were killed, and more than 1 500 residents were forced from their homes.
