Om: Kreditderivaters »sociale værdi«
Subject: The ‘social value’ of credit derivatives
I dokumentation fremlagt for Underhusets finansudvalg i Det Forenede Kongerige i december samt andre steder gav kommissær Michel Barnier udtryk for, at »short selling« kan have social værdi, hvilket var årsagen til, at han ikke foreslog at forbyde det fuldstændig.
In evidence given to the UK House of Commons Treasury Select Committee in December and elsewhere, Commissioner Barnier expressed his view that ‘short selling’ could have social value, which was the reason he did not propose to ban it altogether.
Det kan meget vel være disse økonomiske kernefunktioner, som kommissæren henviste til.
It may very well be these core economic functions to which the Commissioner was referring.
Yderligere kan spekulanter inden for short selling argumentere for, at markedsforventningen kan advare om fremtidige problemer, herunder dem der opstår som følge af ubalance i de økonomiske grundlæggende aspekter.
In addition, ‘short sellers’ can argue that market anticipation can warn of problems ahead, including those which arise from a misalignment of economic fundamentals.
De skaber desuden likviditet for fremtidige markeder.
They also provide liquidity to future markets.
At visse former for handel med derivater kan vise sig at have »social værdi« er selvfølgelig ikke et argument mod passende regulering af markedet for derivater, herunder kontraktgennemsigtighed, behovet for en form for udveksling for at sikre, at »rigtige« købere matches med »rigtige« sælgere, det overordnede omfang af handel og vigtigst af alt behovet for at sikre, at hele banksystemets integritet ikke trues af en enkelt finansiel institutions fiasko eller sammenbrud.
That some forms of derivatives trading can be shown to have ‘social value’ is not, of course, an argument against proper regulation of derivatives markets, including the transparency of contracts, the need for some form of exchange to ensure the matching of ‘real’ buyers with ‘real’ sellers, the overall volume of trading and, most importantly, the need to ensure that the integrity of the entire banking system cannot be threatened by the failure or collapse of a single financial institution.
Mener Kommissionen, at den sociale værdi ved short selling og handel med derivater generelt er begrænset til særlige markeder (f.eks. varer, aktier, valuta, virksomhedsobligationer og offentlig gæld (guldrandede papirer)), eller mener den også, at der er en social værdi ved kreditderivater (herunder credit default swaps) af den slags, som Bankers Trust og herefter J.P. Morgen har banet vejen for, og som spillede en meget vigtig rolle i forbindelse med det sammenbrud af verdens finansielle system, som næsten forekom?
Does the Commission believe that the social value of short selling, and of derivatives trading in general, is confined to particular kinds of market (i.e. commodities, equities, currencies, corporate bonds and government debt (gilts)), or does it also believe that there is a social value to credit derivatives (including credit default swaps) of the kind pioneered by Bankers Trust and subsequently J.P. Morgan, which played such an important role in the near meltdown of the world’s financial system?
Hvad med anvendeligheden af udækket short selling af kreditderivater, der udelukkende er spekulative?
What about the usefulness of naked short selling of credit derivatives which are purely speculative?
Har Kommissionen formelt anmodet om en henstilling fra (a) direktøren for Bank of England og (b) direktøren for Den Europæiske Centralbank om værdien eller lignende af kreditderivaterne for banksystemet som helhed?
Has the Commission formally requested a submission from (a) the Governor of the Bank of England and (b) the Governor of the ECB as to the value or otherwise of credit derivatives to the banking system as a whole?

Om: Formel EU-anerkendelse af store bidrag til økologi
Subject: Formal EU recognition of major contributions to ecology
Gennem en lang og anset karriere inden for radio og tv over mange årtier har Sir David Attenborough på globalt plan tiltrukket publikum til og anerkendelse af programmer såsom »Life on Earth« og »The Living Planet«, hvor han udforsker vidunderet og kompleksiteten af naturens verden.
During a long and distinguished career in broadcasting over many decades, Sir David Attenborough has attracted worldwide audiences and recognition for programmes such as ‘Life on Earth’ and ‘The Living Planet’, in which he has explored both the wonder and the intricacies of the natural world.
Man kunne nok uden at overdrive sige, at ingen siden Darwin — måske med undtagelse af Sir Peter Scott, Jacques Cousteau, Rachel Carson eller James Lovelock — har haft større indflydelse på at øge bevidstheden om og forståelsen af den subtile og indbyrdes afhængighed, der eksisterer mellem landmiljøet og det marine miljø og udviklingen heraf, og hvor potentielt skrøbelige de individuelle økosystemer er over for truslen mod denne indbydes afhængighed.
It is probably no exaggeration to say that, since Darwin, no one, with the possible exceptions of Sir Peter Scott, Jacques Cousteau, Rachel Carson or James Lovelock, has had a greater impact in enhancing awareness and understanding of the subtle and evolving interdependencies of land and marine environments, and the potential fragility of individual ecosystems in the face of threats to these interdependencies.
Europa-Parlamentet har gennem en årrække uddelt Sakharov-prisen for indsatser for menneskerettighederne.
The European Parliament has for some years offered the Sakharov Prize for contributions to human rights.
Mener Kommissionen, at det, netop og i særdeleshed i en tid med økonomiske stramninger i den udviklede verden, måske endda er på tide at oprette en pris til anerkendelse af væsentlige bidrag til økologien, som f.eks. kunne omfatte David Attenboroughs indsats inden for radio- og tv-programmer og oplysning af offentligheden eller måske tekniske bidrag til brændselscelle- eller bølgeteknologi, deponering af affald eller endda opfindelser såsom hånddrevne radioer, som nu anvendes udbredt i Afrika og i andre udviklingslande, på en måde, som har forbedret millioner af menneskers liv med en minimal indvirkning på miljøet, og mener Kommissionen, i bekræftende fald, at David Attenborough ville være særdeles værdig til at blive den første til at modtage en sådan pris?
Does the Commission believe that even, indeed, especially, at a time of economic austerity within the developed world, it is time for it to institute a prize designed to recognise significant contributions to ecology, be they contributions such as those of Sir David in broadcasting and informing the public, or technical contributions to fuel-cell or wave technologies, the disposal of waste or even inventions such as the hand-powered radios that are now used widely in Africa and other parts of the developing world in a way that has improved the lives of millions with minimal environmental impact, and, if so, does the Commission believe that Sir David would be an eminently worthy first recipient of such a prize?

Om: Lovligheden af vildledende praksisser ved auktioner
Subject: The legality of deceptive practices at auction sales
I sit svar på skriftlig forespørgsel E-5767/2009 pointerede kommissær Meglena Kuneva, at selvom EU's forbrugerbeskyttelseslovgivning ikke specifikt regulerer auktioner, finder direktiv 2005/29/EF anvendelse i det omfang, at det harmoniserer bestemmelser om forbuddet mod urimelig handelspraksis, særligt vildledende og aggressiv praksis.
In her answer to Written Question E‑5767/2009, Commissioner Kuneva pointed out that, although EU consumer protection legislation does not specifically regulate auction sales, Directive 2005/29/EC is applicable to the extent that it harmonises rules on the prohibition of unfair commercial practices, in particular of misleading and aggressive practices.
I forhold til det specifikke spørgsmål om lovligheden af auktionshuse, der giver lån til kunstnere, som ønsker at købe deres egne værker på et kriseramt marked, som en del af et forsøg på at opretholde priserne, var kommissæren forståeligt nok tilbageholdende overfor at komme for tæt på og udtrykte, at ansvaret påhviler de nationale håndhævelsesmyndigheder, som har mulighed for at overveje alle sagens forhold og i dette tilfælde analysere anvendeligheden af direktivets begreber.
In relation to the specific question as to the legality of auction houses making loans to artists wishing to purchase their own works in a depressed market, as part of an effort to sustain prices, the Commissioner was understandably reluctant to be drawn too closely, observing that it was the responsibility of ‘national enforcement authorities who have the opportunity to consider all the facts of the case and to analyse the applicability, in casu , of the concepts of the directive’.
Kan Kommissionen i forbindelse med auktionshuses salg og ikke blot dem, der omhandler salg af kunstværker, bekræfte, at det er fuldstændig forbudt for en sælger at købe en salgsgenstand ved hjælp af et lån fra auktionshuset eller tilknyttede selskaber, hvis lånet ikke betales tilbage inden for en bestemt periode eller ikke opkræves et kommercielt gebyr (f.eks. mindst minimumsudlånsrenten, der anvendes i salgslandet)?
With regard to all auction house sales, and not simply those involving the sale of objects d'art, can the Commission confirm that it is absolutely prohibited for a seller to purchase a sale item with the assistance of a loan from the auctioneer or any affiliated company if that loan is not repaid in full within a given time period or is not charged at a commercial rate (i.e. at least the Minimum Lending Rate obtaining in the country of sale)?

Om: Reelt niveau af den græske regerings gæld og notifikationspolitik for både euroområdets regeringer og banker, som køber statsobligationer
Subject: True levels of Greek government debt, and notification policies for both eurozone governments and banks purchasing gilts
Det er nu kendt, at det reelle niveau af den græske offentlige gæld, da landet modtog redningspakken, svarede til over 7 % af den årlige BNP mere, end man oprindeligt havde hævdet.
It is now known that the true level of Greek public debt at the time of the rescue package was the equivalent of over 7 % of annual GDP more than had originally been claimed.
Den græske regering blev rådgivet om, hvordan man skjulte det reelle tal, af finansielle institutioner.
The Greek Government was advised on how to disguise the true figure by financial institutions.
Var det en generel betingelse (enten formelt eller uformelt) for redningspakken, at den græske regering skulle »lægge kortene på bordet«, ikke kun om det reelle omfang af bedraget, men også om, hvilke præcise mekanismer den havde brugt til at bedrage Kommissionen, de finansielle markeder og offentligheden?
Was it a general condition (either formally or informally) of the rescue package that the Greek Government ‘came clean’ not only about the true extent of the deception, but also about the precise mechanisms by which it managed to deceive the Commission, the financial markets and the public alike?
Har enten Den Europæiske Centralbank (ECB) eller Kommissionen i så fald udarbejdet en rapport, hvori disse mekanismer identificeres, og har ECB eller Kommissionen forsøgt på systematisk vis at konstatere fra andre regeringer inden for euroområdet, hvorvidt man har anvendt lignende bedrag i andre medlemsstater, og, hvis dette er tilfældet, i hvilket omfang?
If so, has either the European Central Bank (ECB) or the Commission produced a report identifying these mechanisms, and has the ECB or the Commission attempted in any systematic way to ascertain from other eurozone governments whether similar deceptions have been carried out elsewhere in other Member States, and, if so, the extent of those deceptions?
Kan Kommissionen endvidere oplyse, hvilke notifikationskrav der findes for banker, der opererer inden for EU, enten i eller uden for euroområdet, i forbindelse med deres eksponering ikke kun for udenlandsk gæld i verden, men også for derivat- og hedgefondaktiviteter?
Can the Commission also indicate what notification requirements exist for banks operating within the EU, whether inside or outside the eurozone, a propos their exposure not only to sovereign debt around the world, but also to derivative and hedge-fund activity as well?

Om: EU's emissionshandelsordning — sektorer, der pålægges en ekstra byrde i et scenario med en nedbringelse på 30 %
Subject: EU Emission Trading Scheme — sectors subject to an extra burden in a 30 % emission reduction scenario
I Kommissionens meddelelse i maj 2010 med titlen »Analyse af mulighederne for at nedbringe drivhusgasemissionerne ud over 20 % og vurdering af risikoen for udflytning af CO 2‑ emissionskilder« (KOM(2010)0265) vurderer Kommissionen, hvilke sektorer der har det største potentiale for at nedbringe emissionerne, med henblik på at identificere, hvor den ekstra byrde om at nedbringe emissionerne med 30 % skulle ligge.
In its May 2010 communication entitled ‘Analysis of options to move beyond 20 % greenhouse gas emission reductions and assessing the risk of carbon leakage’ (COM(2010)0265), the Commission looks at those sectors with the greatest potential to reduce emissions, in order to identify where the extra burden of moving to a 30 % reduction target would fall.
Blandt de industrielle sektorer inden for emissionshandelsordningen (ETS) er olieraffinaderier alene specifikt defineret som en sektor med »et betydeligt omkostningseffektivt potentiale«.
Among the industrial sectors within the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), oil refining alone is specifically identified as a sector with ‘a significant cost-effective potential’.
ETS har til formål at skabe en ramme, inden for hvilken de deltagende industrier kollektivt og med lavest mulig omkostninger kan nedbringe emissionerne.
The ETS aims to provide a framework within which participating industries can collectively reduce emissions at the lowest possible cost.
Energiomkostningerne udgør ca. 50 % af et raffinaderis direkte driftsomkostninger, og mange af raffinaderierne i EU er allerede blandt de mest omkostningseffektive i verden.
Energy costs represent about 50 % of a refinery’s cash costs, and many EU refineries are already among the most energy-efficient in the world.
På hvilket grundlag identificerer Kommissionen specifikt raffinaderisektoren som en energiintensiv industri?
On what basis does the Commission specifically identify the refining sector as an energy-intensive industry?
Hvis Kommissionen er i besiddelse af undersøgelser, der støtter denne konklusion, kan den da gøre disse tilgængelige?
If the Commission has studies to support this conclusion, can it make these available?

Androulla Vassilou, kommissær for uddannelse, fremlagde den 31. januar 2011 en rapport om unges skolefrafald i EU’s medlemsstater.
Yesterday 31 January 2011, the Commissioner for education, Androulla Vassilou, presented a report on the school dropout phenomenon in the Member States which shows that the numbers affected by the problem throughout the EU amount to more than 6 million.
Disse tal fremhæver sammen med PISA-rapporten fra 2009 den beklagelige situation, som kendetegner det spanske uddannelsessystem, selv om der dog er betydelige forskelle mellem de selvstyrende regioner.
This figure once again points up — as did the PISA report in 2009 — the deplorable state of the education system in Spain (allowing for some significant variations between regions).
På trods af at de nuværende offentlige udgifter til uddannelse pr. indbygger ligger under EU-gennemsnittet, har den spanske regering under ledelse af José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero for nylig indført nedskæringer i uddannelsesbudgettet for 2011 på 1,8 mia. euro, hvilket blot forværrer situationen yderligere.
Even though average public expenditure per inhabitant on education in Spain is under the EU average, the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero recently approved a cut of EUR 1 800 million in the education budget for 2011,which has served only to make things worse.
Kommissæren for uddannelse understregede dette, da hun gav udtryk for sin uenighed i nedskæringer i uddannelsesbudgettet, eftersom disse vil have negative sociale og økonomiske konsekvenser.
This was pointed out yesterday by the Commissioner when she expressed her disagreement with these education cuts and argued that they will have adverse social and economic effects.
Agter Kommissionen at træffe foranstaltninger, der kan ledsage rapportens målsætninger?
Is the Commission considering implementing measures to accompany the objectives set out in this report?
Har Kommissionen kendskab til, hvilke negative sociale og økonomiske konsekvenser der forårsages af nedskæringer i budgettet?
Does it have estimates concerning the adverse social and economic effects of these budget cuts?
Råder Kommissionen over sammenlignelige tal for så vidt angår medlemsstaternes gennemsnitlige offentlige udgifter til uddannelse pr. indbygger samt medlemsstaternes skolefrafald?
Does it possess a comparative study of average public spending per inhabitant on education and dropout rates in each Member State?
Har Kommissionen kendskab til medlemsstaternes gennemsnitsløn for personer med en universitetsuddannelse, en gymnasieuddannelse eller anden faglig uddannelse samt for personer, der er gået tidligt ud af skolen?
Does it have data on the average remuneration of workers with higher education, those with secondary education, those with vocational qualifications and those who dropped out of school, broken down by Member State?

Om: Resultatet af Kommissionens undersøgelse af grænsepolitikontrollen langs den tjekkisk-tyske grænse
Subject: Outcome of the European Commission's investigation into the border-police checks near the Czech-German border
I marts 2010 rettede jeg en skriftlig forespørgsel (H‑0122/10) til Kommissionen om vilkårlig eller systematisk mobil grænsepolitikontrol, som det tyske politi foretager uden begrundelse langs den tjekkisk-tyske grænse.
In March 2010, I asked the Commission a question (H‑0122/10) concerning the random or systematic mobile border-police checks being conducted without any justification by the German police near the Czech-German border.
Det fremgår tydeligt af de rejsendes oplevelser, at Tyskland har overtrådt bestemmelserne i Schengengrænsekodekset, navnlig bestemmelserne i artikel 21, idet den omtalte kontrol har grænsekontrol som formål og er langt grundigere end den kontrol, der foretages af tredjelandes statsborgere langs Schengenområdets ydre grænser.
It was evident from the experiences of travellers that Germany was in breach of the provisions of the Schengen Border Code, and particularly Article 21 thereof, as the purpose of these controls was to protect its borders and they were much more thorough than those carried out on third-country nationals at the Schengen area's external borders.
Kørsel igennem grænseområdet har tilsyneladende været tilstrækkelig begrundelse for at foretage kontrol, og borgerne har ikke vidst, hvad der var tilladt og ikke tilladt som led i denne kontrol.
Driving through the border area constituted a sufficient reason for the controls to be carried out and citizens did not know what was and was not permitted as part of these controls.
I oktober 2009 skulle Kommissionen have forelagt Parlamentet en rapport med en vurdering af gennemførelsen af bestemmelserne i afsnit III i Schengengrænsekodekset vedrørende de indre grænser.
In October 2009, the Commission had been supposed to present to the European Parliament a report evaluating the implementation of the provisions in Chapter III of the Code concerning the internal borders.
Kommissionen oplyste som svar på forespørgslen fra marts 2010, at den i juli 2009 havde sendt et spørgeskema til medlemsstaterne forud for udarbejdelsen af rapporten.
The Commission replied to that question of March 2010 that in July 2009 it had sent a questionnaire to the Member States, on the basis of which it would be able to prepare a report.
Kommissionen oplyste endvidere, at den først havde modtaget de sidste svar i begyndelsen af 2010 efter flere påmindelser, og at rapporten derfor først kunne udarbejdes efterfølgende, og at dette arbejde derfor stadig var i gang.
The Commission also stated that it had received the last replies to the questionnaire only at the beginning of 2010 after several reminders and that the report could be presented only after these answers had been processed, and was therefore still in preparation.
I en yderligere forespørgsel i maj 2010 (E‑3655/10) henledte jeg Kommissionens opmærksomhed på en løbeseddel offentliggjort af det bayerske politi med en beskrivelse af den tyske grænsepolitikontrol som en foranstaltning til erstatning af den ophævede paskontrol.
In a further question in May 2010 (E‑3655/10), I drew the Commission’s attention to a flyer published by the Bavarian police describing the German police checks as measures to offset discontinued passport controls.
Der blev rettet yderligere parlamentariske forespørgsler (E‑1616/10, E‑2275/10) og klager fra borgerne til Kommissionen om kontrollen i grænseområder, som svarede, at Kommissionen i rollen som traktaternes vogter ville henvende sig til de tyske myndigheder endnu en gang for at anmode om yderligere klarlæggelse af den nævnte grænsekontrol af tjekkiske borgere i grænseområderne.
Further parliamentary questions (E‑1616/10, E‑2275/10) and complaints from citizens about the checks in border areas were also addressed to the Commission, which answered that ‘the Commission, in its role of guardian of the Treaties, will address German authorities again in order to obtain further clarifications on the alleged border controls of Czech citizens in the border zones’.
Hvilke tyske myndigheder henvendte Kommissionen sig til, og hvornår og hvordan henvendte Kommissionen sig til myndighederne for at få klarhed over kontrollen af tjekkiske borgere i grænseområderne?
Which German authorities did the Commission address, and when and how did it address them, in order to obtain further clarifications on the controls of Czech citizens in border zones?
Hvad var de tyske myndigheders reaktion eller svar på Kommissionens spørgeskema?
What was the reaction, or indeed the answer, of the German authorities to the Commission’s questionnaire?
Kan Kommissionen offentliggøre svaret i sin helhed?
Can the Commission publish the full text of this reaction?
