Om: Opkrævning af vejafgift for Oosterweel-forbindelsen og Kennedy-tunnellen
Subject: Toll on the Oosterweel link and Kennedy Tunnel
Det fremgår af Kommissionens svar på forespørgsel E-­1936/­06 og E-­1937/­06, at et land, der har indført eurovignetten, kun må opkræve afgift for specifikke, normalt dyre infrastrukturer, og som en sådan kan Oosterweel-forbindelsen betragtes.
The Commission's answer to my Questions E‑1936/06 and E‑1937/06 infers that a country that has introduced the Eurovignette may not at the same time levy tolls except for ‘specific, usually expensive pieces of infrastructure’, which could include the Oosterweel link.
Det fremgår mindre tydeligt af svaret, hvorledes mulighederne er for eventuelt at opkræve vejafgift for Kennedy-tunnelen, som dog er en integrerende del af det pågældende infrastrukturnet.
It is less clear from the Commission's answer how this applies in relation to the possible toll on the Kennedy Tunnel, which is an integral part of the infrastructure network concerned.
Er det tilladt at opkræve samme afgift for den allerede eksisterende Kennedy-tunnel som for den endnu ikke færdigbyggede Oosterweel-forbindelse i takt med en spredning af trafikstrømmen?
Is it therefore permissible to charge the same toll on the existing Kennedy Tunnel as on the yet to be constructed Oosterweel link, based on the division of traffic flows?
I bekræftende fald på hvilke nærmere betingelser?
If so, what conditions apply?

Om: Budgetbesparelser i Unionens administrative udgifter
Subject: Budget savings on EU administrative expenditure
Det nuværende finske EU-­formandskab har foreslået at foretage betragtelige nedskæringer (130 mio. EUR) i Kommissionens administrative udgifter på 2007-­budgettet.
The current Finnish Presidency of the EU has proposed that a major cut (EUR 130 million) be made in the 2007 budget to administrative expenditure within the Commission.
Denne nedskæring vil forsinke rekrutteringen af personale til Kommissionen og medføre indirekte forskelsbehandling af de nye medlemsstater, som skal forsyne Kommissionen med hovedparten af de nyansatte.
This will result in Commission recruitment being placed on hold, thus indirectly discriminating against the new Member States, from which the majority of new Commission staff should now come.
Det er almindeligt kendt, at der ikke ansættes tilstrækkeligt personale fra de nye medlemsstater.
It is a well-known fact that there are too few officials from the new Member States.
Rådet bedes i denne forbindelse besvare følgende spørgsmål: 1.
Given the above, would the Council say whether: 1.
Er det hensigtsmæssigt at foretage disse nedskæringer for at spare penge? 2.
this is the right way to go about seeking savings; 2.
Kunne der ikke træffes andre foranstaltninger for at nå dette mål? 3.
there is no other way of meeting savings targets; 3.
Risikerer dette forslag ikke, såfremt det vedtages, at fastlåse strukturen i den nuværende personalesammensætning i EU-­institutionerne og dermed opretholde ulighederne mellem de forskellige medlemsstater?
there is not a risk that adoption of this proposal will consolidate the current structure of the European civil service and thus perpetuate inequalities among Member States?
Under førstebehandlingen af budgettet for 2007 har Rådet gennemgået de enkelte institutioners, herunder også Kommissionens, administrationsbudget meget omhyggeligt og har taget hensyn til institutionernes specifikke forhold og deres reelle og begrundede behov samt hidtidige gennemførelsesprocent.
The Council, in its first reading of the 2007 budget, has very carefully examined the administrative budget of each institution, including the Commission, taking into account their own specificities and their real and justified needs as well as past implementation rates.
I den forbindelse vedtog Rådet et samlet beløb for Kommissionen, inklusive kontorer og pensioner, der er mere end 3,3 % større end i 2006-­budgettet.
In this context, the Council agreed an overall amount for the Commission, including offices and pensions which represents an increase of more than 3.3 % compared with the 2006 budget.
Rådet lægger stor vægt på rekruttering i forbindelse med 2004-­udvidelsen og har derfor accepteret alle nye stillinger, som Kommissionen har søgt om for 2007 i den sammenhæng.
The Council attaches great importance to recruitment in relation to the 2004 enlargement and has therefore accepted all new posts requested for 2007 by the Commission in that connection.
Desuden er Rådet navnlig bekymret over, at stillingerne i forbindelse med 2004-­udvidelsen kun besættes langsomt, og det håber snart at kunne konstatere, at der gøres markante fremskridt med ansættelsen.
Moreover, the Council is particularly concerned about the slow trend of occupation of posts in relation to the 2004 enlargement and expects rapid proof of significant progress in recruitment.
På denne baggrund har Rådet vedtaget en erklæring i forbindelse med vedtagelsen af budgetforslaget for 2007, hvori det med stor bekymring noterer sig oplysningerne vedrørende ansættelsesprocessen i forbindelse med 2004-­udvidelsen, navnlig med hensyn til det faldende tempo i ansættelsesprocessen i 2006 (især i forbindelse med stillinger i AD-­kategorien), den lave besættelsesgrad i mellemlederstillingerne, den høje andel af faste stillinger, der er besat med midlertidigt ansatte, samt det forhold, at der ikke er afholdt tilstrækkeligt mange relevante udvælgelsesprøver; Rådet understreger, at der bør gøres alt for at sikre, at ansættelsesprocessen forløber tilfredsstillende og hurtigt i overensstemmelse med Rådets forventninger og efter kriterierne i vedtægtens artikel 27, så man snarest muligt kan opnå den bredest mulige geografiske balance.
With this in mind, the Council has adopted a declaration in the context of the establishment of the 2007 draft budget, noting with great concern the information provided on the recruitment process in relation to the 2004 enlargement, in particular regarding the slowing down of the recruitment process in 2006 (especially AD posts), the low occupation of middle-management posts, the high ratio of permanent posts occupied by temporary agents, as well as the lack of a sufficient number of appropriate competitions and insisting that all efforts should be made to ensure that the recruitment process is sufficiently and speedily carried forward, in accordance with the expectations of the Council, in line with the criteria laid down in Article 27 of the Staff Regulations, in order to arrive at the broadest possible geographical balance as soon as possible.

Om: EU-medlemsstat stemmer for kommerciel hvalfangst
Subject: A European Union Member State votes in favour of commercial whaling
Den 18. juni 2006 vedtog Den Internationale Hvalfangstkommission med et flertal på én stemme, som blev afgivet af en EU-­medlemsstat, at legalisere kommerciel hvalfangst.
On 18 June 2006 the International Whaling Commission voted in favour of legalising commercial whaling by a majority of one vote, cast by a Member State of the European Communities.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at den har enekompetence, når det gælder bevarelse af de marine ressourcer?
Does the European Commission not consider that it has ‘exclusive competence in the area of the conservation of marine biological resources’?
Kan Kommissionen forklare, hvorfor den ikke har informeret verdenssamfundet om ugyldigheden af denne stemme?
Can it explain why it has not yet informed the international community of the illegality of this vote?
Hvilke skridt har den taget for at få denne sag indbragt for Domstolen?
What steps has it taken to bring this matter before the Court of Justice?
Kan Kommissionen forklare, hvorfor den har påberåbt sig sin enekompetence på dette område for at få afskaffet de forebyggende foranstaltninger til beskyttelse af skildpadder, som de regionale myndigheder på Azorerne havde truffet inden for deres eksklusive økonomiske zone — foranstaltninger, som i øvrigt var en opfølgning af det, De Forenede Nationer havde vedtaget på dette område — men synes at have glemt sin enekompetence, når det gælder hvalfangst?
Can it explain why it has invoked its exclusive competence in this area to destroy the precautionary measures to protect turtles taken by the regional authorities of the Azores in their exclusive economic zone — measures which followed the United Nations decisions on this subject — but appears to have forgotten its exclusive competence when it comes to whaling?

Om: Nederlandsk statsborger nægtet adgang til russisk territorium
Subject: Dutch citizen denied entry to Russia
En nederlandsk studerende, medlem af organisationen Mission to Minsk og formand for den nationale studentersammenslutning Landelijke Studentenvakbond (LSVB), blev tirsdag aften den 11. juli i Moskvas lufthavn nægtet adgang til russisk territorium.
A Dutch student, member of the Mission to Minsk and chairman of the Dutch National Union of Students (LSVB) was denied entry to Russian territory when she arrived at Moscow airport on the evening of Tuesday, 11 July 2006.
Straks efter landingen blev van Den Broek mødt af toldtjenestemænd, formodentlig fordi hun for tre måneder siden deltog i en lovlig protestaktion, der gennemførtes af nederlandske studerende, som med støtte fra nederlandske politikere og medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet rejste til Hviderusland for at overrække den hviderussiske diktator Aleksandr Lukasjenko en petition.
Ms van Den Broek was met by customs officers immediately after landing, probably because of her participation in the action taken legally by Dutch students who travelled to Belarus three months ago with Dutch and European political support to hand over a petition to the dictator Lukashenko.
Petitionen var undertegnet af medlemmer af det nederlandske parlaments andetkammer, samtlige grupper i Europa-Parlamentet, CDU's partiformand, den polske ministerpræsident Marcinkiewicz og den hviderussiske oppositionsleder Milinkevitj.
The petition was signed by Members of the Netherlands Second Chamber, all groups in the European Parliament, the CDU party chairman, Polish Prime Minister Marcinkievicz and Belarus opposition leader Milinkievicz.
De nederlandske studerende havde tidligere ansøgt om visum til Hviderusland i Polen, men ansøgningerne blev ikke behandlet.
The Dutch students had applied for a visa for Belarus in Poland but their application was not considered.
Dermed fik de aldrig bevilget indrejse.
As a result, they were never allowed into Belarus.
Heller ikke i Hvideruslands ambassade i Haag blev ansøgningerne behandlet.
The Belarussian Embassy in the Hague also failed to consider their application.
De fik aldrig noget formelt afslag på deres ansøgninger om visum til Hviderusland, men deres visumprocedure er altid blevet afbrudt før tiden af ukendte årsager.
They were never formally refused a visa for Belarus but the visa procedure was always broken off for unknown reasons.
På denne baggrund henleder jeg opmærksomheden på følgende spørgsmål: 1.
Against this background, can the Commission answer the following questions: 1.
Er Kommissionen klar over, at Hvideruslands visumforbudsliste også anvendes i Rusland? 2.
Is the European Commission aware of the fact that the Belarus visa black list is also applied by Russia? 2.
Hvad er Kommissionens opfattelse af en situation, hvor en studerende fra en EU-­medlemsstat med gyldigt russisk visum arresteres i Moskva som følge af Hvideruslands visumpolitik? 3.
What view does the European Commission take of a student from an EU Member State who is in possession of a valid Russian visa being arrested in Russia on the basis of the visa policy of Belarus? 3.
Kan Kommissionen give oplysninger om de snævre kontakter mellem Rusland og Hviderusland på baggrund af den udveksling af oplysninger mellem de to landes myndigheder, der var nødvendig for, at denne anholdelse kunne finde sted? 4.
Can the Commission provide details of the close contacts between Russia and Belarus, in view of the exchange of information between the authorities of the two countries that was necessary for this arrest to have taken place? 4.
Hvilke skridt vil Kommissionen tage for at bringe spørgsmålet om forbindelserne mellem Rusland og Hviderusland på bane?
How does the European Commission intend to raise the issue of the links between Russia and Belarus?

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3444/06
Om: Leveraged buyout funds
Subject: Leveraged buyout funds
Ifølge den europæiske presse har Kommissionen anmodet erhvervslivet om at rette henstillinger til det alternative investeringsmarked.
According to the European press, the Commission has requested the industry to make recommendations on the alternative investment market.
I den rapport, som Kommissionen har offentliggjort nævner erhvervslivet ikke på noget tidspunkt, at det er »leveraged buyout funds (LBO'er)«, dvs. fremmedkapital, der har finansieret deres virksomhedsovertagelser, til trods for at bl.a. markedsanalytikere og Bank og England har gjort opmærksom på denne virksomhedsmodels indflydelse på den makroøkonomiske og finansielle stabilitet.
In the report published by the European Commission, the industry does not once mention the fact that the leveraged buyout funds (‘LBO’), hence the name, finance their acquisitions with leverage, despite the impact of this business model on macroeconomic and financial stability as stated by market analysts including the Bank of England.
Ifølge Mergerstat udgjorde de samlede europæiske fusioner og overtagelser (M&A) i 2005 ­694,5 mia. EUR.
According to Mergerstat total European merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in 2005 was EUR 694.5 billion.
I 2005 udgjorde værdien af de europæiske »buy-out«-aftaler 116,5 milliarder, dvs. en stigning på 43 % i forhold til 2004.
In 2005, the total value of European buyout deals totalled EUR 116.5 billion showing a 43 % increase on 2004.
Alle tilgængelige tal for dette år viser, at denne tendens vil fortsætte i 2006.
All available figures this year show that this trend will only continue in 2006.
En enkel sammenligning af 1 og 2 viser, at LBO'er udgør en stor del — op til 1/5 — af de europæiske fusioner og overtagelser.
A simple comparison of 1 and 2 shows that LBOs are taking up a big part of European mergers and acquisitions — up to 1/5 of total M&A.
For to år siden var den gennemsnitlige gældsbyrde i europæiske virksomheder, der benyttede sig af fremmedkapitalfinansiering fire gange så stor som virksomhedernes indtægter.
Two years ago the average debt load of European raising leveraged finance was four times company earnings.
Nu er gennemsnitsforholdet næsten seks gange så højt ifølge Standard & Poor Leveraged Commentary and Data.
Now the average ratio is almost six times, according to Standard & Poor Leveraged Commentary and Data.
Dette tal stiger tilsyneladende.
This ratio appears to be increasing.
Som et resultat heraf er der et stigende antal virksomheder, der vil have tunge gældsbyrder, som kan skade virksomhederne socialt og vækstmæssigt.
As a consequence, an ever-increasing number of companies will face heavy debt burdens, which can hamper the companies' social and growth performance.
Dette bør der tages hensyn til ved vurderingen af de finansielle markeder.
This fact needs to be considered when assessing the financial markets.
På grund af LBO'ernes hemmelighedsfulde natur er oplysningerne om disse dog meget svært tilgængelige for offentligheden.
However, due to the secretive nature of the LBOs, the information on LBOs is very difficult to access for the public.
Det ville være interessant at vide, om Kommissionen har et præcist overblik over dette vækstmarked og markedets indvirkning på EU's Lissabon-dagsorden ved udarbejdelsen af konklusionerne om dette marked samt konsekvensanalysen.
It would be important to know whether the Commission has an exact overview of this developing market and the impact of the market on the European Union's Lisbon agenda, when drawing up its conclusions on this market and preparing its impact assessment.
Har Kommissionen adgang til fyldestgørende oplysninger, herunder: en liste over europæiske virksomheder, der er overtaget af LBO'er, antal berørte arbejdstagere, de vigtigste berørte sektorer, jobskabelse og omstrukturering af job, gældebyrder, finansiering af innovation og antallet af LBO'er i Europa, der har hjemsted i skattely og på steder med gunstig virksomhedslovgivning?
Does the Commission have full information at its disposal, including: a list of European companies acquired by LBOs; number of employees affected; main sectors affected; job creation/restructuring; debt burden; and financing for innovation; and how many of the LBOs operating in Europe have their headquarters located in tax and company regulation havens?
Vil Kommissionen sikre en åben udbredelse af disse oplysninger, således der offentligt kan foregå en rationel og fredelig debat i overensstemmelse med industriens ønske?
Could the Commission share this information in a transparent manner in order for the public to have ‘a rational and dispassionate debate’ as requested by the industry?
Kommissionen er aktivt interesseret i de løbende tendenser og innovationer på finansmarkederne og vil fortsat holde skarpt øje med udviklingen på disse markeder via et tæt samarbejde med medlemsstaterne og de europæiske kompetente myndigheder.
The Commission takes an active interest in ongoing financial markets developments and innovations and will continue to keep a watchful eye on these developments through close cooperation with the Member States and European competent authorities.
Selv om målene for LBO’er almindeligvis ikke er systemisk relevante institutioner og derfor ikke i sig selv udgør en risiko for stabiliteten i det finansielle system, er det selvfølgelig vigtigt, at dette marked overvåges nøje, når man ser på det store antal transaktioner, der finder sted på det europæiske marked.
While the targets of LBOs are generally not systemically relevant institutions, and therefore do not, in themselves, pose a risk to the stability of the financial system, it is of course important that this market is monitored carefully, given the number of transactions that are taking place in the European market.
Overvågningen af finansmarkedernes funktion varetages af de relevante kompetente myndigheder, herunder Den Europæiske Centralbank (ECB), de nationale centralbanker og de nationale finanstilsyn.
Monitoring of the functioning of the financial markets is undertaken by the relevant competent authorities, including the European Central Bank (ECB), national central banks and financial market authorities.
Denne overvågning indebærer analyse af det europæiske marked og de nationale markeder for at forstå, hvordan eksponeringer for denne aktivklasse forvaltes og evalueres, og hvordan risici gribes an, samt hvordan eksponeringer spredes i det finansielle system.
This monitoring includes examination of European and national markets in order to understand how exposures to this asset class are managed and evaluated and how risks are addressed and exposures are spread throughout the financial system.
Kommissionen råder ikke over fyldestgørende og komplette kvantitative data om alle de informationskilder, forespørgslen vedrører.
The Commission does not have full and complete quantative data on all the information sources requested.
Der findes dog en bred vifte af europæiske og internationale datakilder, som leverer information om LBO-­markedet, og som udgør informationsgrundlaget for Kommissionens overvejelser på dette felt.
However, there are a wide variety of European and international data providers which supply information on the LBO market, and which inform the Commission's thinking on this matter.
Erhvervsbaserede kilder er offentligt tilgængelige, om end mange ikke er gratis og er underlagt ophavsretlig beskyttelse, og kan tilvejebringes fra ophavsmændene.
Industry based sources are publicly available, although many are not free of charge, subject to copyright, and can be obtained from the authors.
