Jeg vil godt søge hr. Bøghs hensigt med dette spørgsmål afklaret ved at stille følgende tillægsspørgsmål til kommissæren: Er det rigtigt, hvad jeg har hørt, at Folkebevægelsen mod EF hos den danske regeringschef har anket over, at et medlem af Kommissionen, hr. Dalsager, har deltaget i valgkampen ved at stå som anbefaler for et bestemt parti ved EF-parlamentsvalget i juni må ned?
It is their refusal to disregard this 50% which is causing some of the most hardpressed local authorities difficulties and act ing as a deterrent to their being able to apply to the Social Fund.
Denne publikation blev sendt til enhver, som var interesseret i at modtage den.
Mr Richard. — The answer to that question is, obviously, yes.
Det europæiske ugebrev støttede hverken den ene eller
It is a question of mathematics, not of
Dalsager. — Så vidt mig bekendt har Folkebevægelsen mod EF i Danmark også prøvet at begrænse min personlige ytringsfrihed ved at angive mig til statsmi-
Does the Commission consider it acceptable for one of its information offices to take part in a national European Parliament election campaign and to support one side?
Dalsager at skære igennem de tågebanker, som Folkebevægelsen mod EF i Danmark prøver at lægge over hele Det europæiske Fællesskab — om ikke kommissæren er af samme opfattelse som jeg: at sandheden bør være os alle nok?
Will the Commission examine the complaints about the information office's activities during the election campaign which have been published in Danish newspapers?
Dalsager. — Ikke alene er vi berettiget til det, men efter min opfattelse har Kommissionen også pligt til at gøre det, hr. Møller her anfører.
to be short, precise, relevant and honest — relevant information on Community policy in the run-up to the European Parliament elections.
Statsministeren er jo imidlertid så for nuftig, at han naturligvis ikke ønsker at begrænse et kommissionsmedlems personlige ytringsfrihed — i hvert fald har han ikke henvendt sig til mig.
Following a very considerable increase in the demand for concrete information, the information office published the 'European weekly report'. This publication was sent to anyone who wished to receive it.
Jeg ved ikke, hvad det er for et brev, som Folkebevægelsen har sendt til statsministeren, men jeg har ingen hen vendelse fået fra ham.
The 'European weekly report' supported neither one side nor the other in the election campaign but gave concrete information, whether it was popular or not.
Det betyder altså, at statsministeren er enig med mig i, at et medlem af Kommissionen selvfølgelig må bevare sin personlige integritet og også den personlige ytringsfrihed, som ethvert medlem af Kommissionen har; dette kan ikke anfægtes af nogen national myndighed.
The information office has been told by the readers that the 'European weekly report' was very clear, short and up to date and hence very useful.
Ephremidis (COM). — (GR) Jeg har fulgt debatten og bemærket mig kommissærens svar og vil gerne stille ham et konkret spørgsmål: Har informationskontorerne ret til at blande sig i valgkampagnen, eller er denne udelukkende de politiske partiers anliggende?
Mr Dalsager. — (DA) As far as I am aware, the People's Movement against the EEC in Denmark also attempted to limit my personal freedom of expression by denouncing me to the Prime Minister who, as you know, belongs to a different party from the one I belong to.
Informationskontoret i Athen nøjedes ikke med at give objektive oplysninger om Kommissionens, Rådets og Parlamentets arbejde, men gik så vidt som til at drive grov propaganda.
The Prime Minister has enough sense, how ever, not to seek to limit the personal freedom of expression of a Member of the Commission — at least he did not approach me.
Og skønt det måske ikke nævnte de partier ved navn, som er mod standere af EF, bekæmpede det deres synspunkter og gik således imod disse partier.
I do not know what form the letter took which the People's Movement against the EEC sent to the Prime Minister, but I did not receive an approach from him.
Jeg vil ligeledes tilføje, at dette kontor på forskellige måder pressede på for at komme til at udsende valgreklame og -propaganda i fjernsyn og radio og til en vis grad også i den græske presse.
The implication of this is that the Prime Minister shares my view that a Member of the Commission must of course maintain his personal integrity and also the personal freedom of expression which a Member of the Commission has; this cannot be challenged by any national authority.
Tove Nielsen (L). — Som dansker, som dansk avislæser, som dansk iagttager har jeg været enormt for bløffet over, hvor ilde sandheden er hørt.
Mr Bøgh (ARC). — (DA) As I understand the Commissioner then, there is no intention to undertake a thoroughgoing investigation of the manner in which the information office in Copenhagen interfered in the Danish election campaign.
Jeg synes, det er væsentligt at få understreget, at det er sandheden, vi skal have frem, sådan som den også på loyal og hæderlig vis er kommet frem fra det danske informationskontor — og det kan jo kun skyldes den fejlslagne taktik fra modstandernes side, at de nu kører en helt urimelig hetz mod et loyalt informationskontor! tionskontor!
The mere fact that the question arises — a question of basic political principle — is reason enough to undertake an investigation.
Dalsager. — Jeg ved ikke, om jeg fik fat i spørgsmålet i fru Nielsens indlæg.
I have two questions. One is: how do we ensure that the information offices do not in future interfere in an election campaign, as happened in Denmark?
I mange tilfælde vil det være nødvendigt at gøre det for så at sige at bekæmpe den desinformation, der i adskillige tilfælde har været tale om.
We must therefore ask: how do we ensure that violations of this kind do not occur in future?
Det anser jeg for at være Kommissionens informationskontors vigtigste opgave.
The second question is personal: what are you going to do to assure me that I shall not again be exposed to a column full of personal attacks, as has happened?
Dalsager. — Informationskontorerne skal naturligvis ikke blande sig i, hvilke partier vælgerne vælger at stemme på. Informationskontorerne skal under valg kampen, hvis der fremkommer oplysninger, som er direkte forkerte eller misvisende, naturligvis bringe de korrekte oplysninger. Det er information, og det er informationskontorets opgave.
Mrs Tove Nielsen (L). — (DA) As a Dane, as a Danish newspaper reader and as a Danish observer, I am truly amazed at how badly the truth goes down.
Jeg er ikke bekendt med, at der foreligger klager over vort informationskontor i De res land, og derfor kan jeg ikke besvare spørgsmålet for Deres vedkommende, men jeg vil bringe de udta lelser, som De her er fremkommet med, videre til hr. Natali, som er ansvarlig for informationsvirksomheden. Han kan desværre ikke være til stede i dag under dette spørgsmål.
I think it is vital to stress that it is the truth we want to hear, as it has been presented in such a loyal and honest manner by the Danish information office — and it can only be due to a tactical ploy gone wrong on the part of the anti-EEC faction that they are now pursuing an entirely unjustified witchhunt against a loyal information office!
Møller (ED). — Mig forekommer det, at hr. Bøgh i sin formulering af spørgsmålet forsøger at skabe et mundkurvcirkulære, som skal udsendes til alle embedsmænd inden for Kommissionen.
Mr Dalsager. — (DA) The weekly report referred to was in no way direct participation in the election campaign.
Det synes mig næsten at være et nedrigt forsøg på at skabe Berufsverbot inden for vores embedsmandskreds, og det vil jeg være imod.
The Commission has a clear right and duty to provide information, during an election campaign too, on the activities of the Community touched upon in the campaign.
Jeg ser ikke noget i det, der er oplyst her i dag — heller ikke fra kommissæren — der over hovedet kan berettige til de invektiver, de skældsord hr. Bøgh her retter mod en anerkendt leder af det københavnske informationskontor.
Mr Christiansen (S). — (DA) I cannot accept the question the Commissioner has answered here, since it conveys the impression that Mr Bøgh, in putting the question, is the sole representative of Danish opinion on the Commission's activities.
Jeg vil gerne stille det tillægsspørgsmål, om kommissæren ikke mener, at det er berettiget, at et informationskontor forsøger
Many of us praised the Commission's information bulletins, which we found
Bonde (ARC). — Jeg forstår, at det er sandheden, som Kommissionen er forpligtet til at bringe til of fentlighedens kendskab.
Mr Dalsager. — (DA) I am not sure whether I caught the question in Mrs Nielsen's intervention.
Så vil jeg gerne spørge, hvor for jeg, der ifølge Kommissionen farer frem med des information, så ikke er den, der først kan blive ret-
In many cases it is necessary to pursue that activity in order as it were to counter the disinfor-
Så vil jeg gerne vide, hvorfor sandheden ikke har kunnet ankomme på min adresse?
That is what information is, and it is the job of the information office.
Så vil jeg ger ne vide, hvorfor der gik en uge, inden man overhovedet var i stand til at få nogen af de pågældende ugebreve fra Kommissionen, efter at vi havde rettet henvendelse?
It may perhaps be called interference in the election campaign, but the object is to get the election campaign on the right track and to present correct information on the Community we belong to.
Så vil jeg endelig gerne vide, hvorfor jeg den dag i dag endnu ikke fra Kommissionens kontor har kunnet modtage samtlige udgaver af de smædebreve, som man ugentlig udsendte op til valgkam pen?
I am not aware of any complaints about our information office in your country, and I cannot therefore answer the question as far as you are concerned, but I will bring what you have said here to the attention of Dr Natali, who is responsible for information activities.
Anden del af samme spørgsmål lyder således: Har informationskontorerne ene og alene ansvar for at propagandere for den europæiske idé, eller skal de endvidere udvirke, at denne idé udbredes via de statskontrollerede oplysnings- og informationskanaler?
It looks to me almost like a base attempt to establish a Berufsverbot within our circle of officials, and I am against that. I see nothing in what has been said here today — even by the Commissioner — which in any way justifies the invective, the abuse which Mr Bøgh directs at a respected leading official, the head of the Copenhagen information office.
Det problem, som opstod i visse lande, var at regeringerne, som kontrollerer fjernsynet og masse medierne generelt, ikke har givet blot et minimum af den information, som de stemmeberettigede borgere til valget til Europa-Parlamentet burde have, før de tog det ene eller det andet standpunkt.
I should like to put a supplementary question and to ask whether the Commissioner does not think that it is right for an information office to try to cut through the smokescreen in which the People's Movement against the EEC seeks to envelop the entire European Community — whether the Commissioner is not of the same opinion as myself: that the truth should suffice for us all.
Derfor vil jeg anmode kommissæren om at foretage en undersøgelse ikke blot af informationskontorerne, men også af de metoder, hvormed regeringerne, som selv sammen med deres befolkninger nyder godt af Fællesskabet, saboterer eller fremmer den europæiske idé.
Mr Dalsager. — (DA) Not only are we right to do what Mr Møller says but, in my opinion, the Commission also has the duty to do so.
For det er jo den form for diskrimination, der er sket i denne sag.
I should like to know why it was not possible for the truth to be conveyed to my address.
Man har omhyggeligt udpeget alle EF-tilhængerkandidater, man har udpeget tilhængere på aviserne, men man har lavet Berufsverbot mod EF-modstanderne.
I should like to know why it was a week before we were able to get hold of any of the relevant weekly reports from the Commission, after we had asked for them.
Repræsentanter for store aviser i Danmark har ikke fået del i EF-Kommissionens sandheder, man har ikke sendt dem til EF-modstan-dernes ugeavis, man har ikke sendt dem til dem, der kunne frygtes at have et andet standpunkt, og end ikke efter at vi havde ringet og bedt om at få...
Finally, I should like to know why to this day I have still not been able to receive from the Commission's office a complete set of those smear bulletins which were sent out weekly during the election campaign.
Formanden. — Kære kolleger, inden jeg giver kom missæren ordet, vil jeg gerne opfordre forsamlingen til nøje at overholde forretningsordenens bestemmelser om spørgetiden og derfor kun stille ét, konkret formuleret tillægsspørgsmål til den adspurgte institution. tion.
If there is so much concern to present the truth, surely they should be sent to precisely those people who, in the Commission's view, are on the side of disinformation.
Formanden. — Hr. Bonde, De kan stille et konkret spørgsmål i relation til emnet og ikke komme med en ren og skær erklæring.
Are the information offices entitled to become involved in the election campaign, or is the campaign to be conducted solely by the political parties?
Der er udsendt en halv snes ugentlige smædebreve om os.
A similar occurrence took place in my own country.
Derfor stiller vi nogle spørgsmål, og vi forventer, at De som formand for denne forsamling sikrer, at kommissæren giver os et svar på de stillede spørgsmål og ikke henholder sig til udenomssnak, som at de pågældende dokumenter har været til rådighed for enhver.
The information office in Athens did not limit itself to giving out objective information on the activities of Europe, the Council and Parliament, but took up the banners of crude propaganda.
Disse smædebreve har ikke været til rådighed for mig. Jeg har indtil dato ikke modtaget en komplet samling af de smædebreve ...
And while it may not actually have named parties that oppose the EEC, in essence it aligned itself against those parties by decrying the positions they stood for.
Formanden. — Hr. Bonde, jeg gør opmærksom på, at man ikke kan tage ordet på den måde i spørgetiden. Jeg er nødt til at fratage Dem ordet.
I would also like to say that the information office exerted all sorts of pressures to ensure electoral publicity on television, on the radio and, to some degree, in the Greek press.
Dalsager. — Den sidste ærede taler vil jeg gerne oplyse om, at ansvaret for informationskontorernes virksomhed naturligvis er Kommissionens, idet den jo har ansvaret for, hvad tjenestegrenene foretager sig, uanset om det er informationsvirksomhed eller an den virksomhed.
A second question for the Commissioner: what would Mr Dalsager say if Prime Minister Schlüter employed an official at 35 000 kroner per month after tax during a Folketing election campaign to issue a weekly smear bulletin about Mr Dalsager's former party associates, headed by Anker Jørgensen, and sent that smear bulletin to the editors of all the middle-class newspapers, systematically omitting Aktuelt, Bornholmeren, Ny Dag and all the social democratic union newspapers?
Der er naturligvis adskillige opgaver for vore informationskontorer rundt omkring i med lemslandene.
For what has happened in this affair is a form of dis crimination.
Alle vil kunne forstå, at borgerne i med lemslandene har mange ønsker om at få en lang række af de problemer, som drøftes i Fællesskabet, klar gjort og modtage papirer og lignende, så de kan sætte sig ind i de problemer, der er aktuelle for Det europæiske Fællesskab.
All the pro-EEC candidates have been carefully selected, all the pro-EEC newspapers have been picked out, but Berufsverbot has been practised against the anti-EEC elements.
Derfor udfører informationskontorerne en lang række hjælpeopgaver for folk, der ønsker at komme i kontakt med Kommissionen, folk der ønsker at ansøge om et eller andet, eller organisationer som vil gøre deres synspunkter gældende over for Kommissionen. Det er en meget vidtspændende opgave, som informationskontorerne har ansvaret for.
Representatives of prominent newspapers in Denmark have not shared in the truths of the EEC Commission, they were not sent to the weekly newspaper of the anti-EEC side, they were not sent to those who might be feared to hold a different view, even after we had telephoned and asked to receive . . .
Boutos (PPE). — (GR) Fru formand, en af mine kolleger kaldte det grov propaganda, som informationskontoret for De europæiske Fællesskaber har udøvet i hans land.
President. — Mr Bonde, you are required to put a pre cise question on the topic; you may not make a speech.
Hver enkelt af os medbringer i Europa-Parlamentet ansvaret for sine ord og sin moral. Men jeg vil gerne
I therefore ask the Commissioner to answer whether the information offices have the right to become involved in the electoral campaign, in other words to influence that sovereign public opinion in each country which should find expression through the country's political parties and through those who do have the right to indulge in propaganda, whether in favour of the EEC or against it.
Må jeg sige til hr. Bonde, at disse ugebreve, som han angriber og oven i købet kalder smædebreve, jo ikke var rettet mod en særlig gruppe eller særlige personer.
During an election campaign, if information is presented which is simply incorrect or is misleading, the information offices must of course
De vendte sig imod den form for fejlinformationer,
Half a score of smear bulletins were sent out about us.
Dalsager fordrejninger og konkrete fejl, der var i den danske valgkampagne.
Bonde not fob us off with talk about the documents in question having been available to everyone.
lerne ved og det uanstændige i den fælles landbrugspolitik, specielt i en tid da mange mennesker i verden sulter?
President. — Mr Bonde please note that that is not the proper way to speak during Question Time. I cannot allow you to continue.
Må jeg endelig til sidst tilføje, at jeg ikke synes, at hr. Bonde skulle være så stærkt personlig i sin kritik af Kommissionen i disse spørgsmål, idet hr. Bonde jo har været bagmanden for at indklage mig for landets statsminister for at anbefale mine tidligere vælgere at stemme på mit parti til valgkampen.
Everyone will understand that the citizens of the Member States often want to have clarification of a number of the problems which are debated in the Community and to receive documentation which will enable them to study the issues currently confronting the European Community.
Det er et af eksemplerne på, hvordan vi informerer om land brugspolitikken.
The information offices have responsibility for a very wide range of tasks.
Chanterie (PPE). — (NL) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne spørge, om forretningsgangen i spørgetiden ikke er den, at der efter spørgeren i princippet kan stilles ét tillægsspørgsmål pr. gruppe?
May I say to Mr Bonde that these weekly reports, which he attacks and moreover refers to as smear bulletins, were not aimed at any particular group or particular individuals.
Jeg konstaterer, at vi nu allerede i en halv time har overværet en slags dansk festival, og jeg vil gerne foreslå ...
They took issue with the kind of misleading information, distortions and concrete errors which were present in the Danish election campaign.
Formanden. — Hr. Bøgh, det De sagde, var hverken til forretningsordenen eller en anmodning i form af et spørgsmål.
Each one of us in this Parliament, of course, carries the responsibility for both his own words and his sense of what is right.
Formanden. — Hr. Chanterie, det glæder mig, at De er enig i nødvendigheden af, som formanden flere gange har sagt, at kollegerne til den adspurgte institution kun stiller ét spørgsmål, hvilket forretningsordenen i øvrigt foreskriver.
The first part of my question is this: By what right is the European concept turned upsidedown by parties that do not believe in European unity, nor in European ideals, but that on the contrary make use of political freedoms and the pluralistic system that exist all over Europe, to introduce new methods which imitate states where the denial of democracy is a fact of life?
Schinzel (S). — (DE) Hr. kommissær, er De rede til at garantere, af EF-informationskontorerne også varetager deres opgaver under valgkampen og ikke lader sig intimidere af principielle EF-modstandere?
Might I add finally that I do not think that Mr Bonde should be so strong in his criticism of the Commission on these matters, since Mr Bonde was the man behind the move to report me to the Prime Minister of Den mark for urging my former voters to vote for my party in the election campaign.
Dalsager. — Det kan jeg svare bekræftende på.
Fortunately the Prime Minister rejected that form of censure.
Bonde (ARC). — Til forretningsordenen, fru for mand: jeg skal bare sige, at hr. Dalsagers oplysning om, at jeg skulle være bagmand for en henvendelse til statsministeren, ikke er korrekt.
The second part of the same question is as follows: Are the information offices responsible solely and exclusively for publicizing the European ideal, or should they also ensure that this ideal is presented via controlled governmental channels of enlightenment and information?
Alavanos (COM). — (GR) Jeg skal fatte mig i korthed.
Mr Bøgh (ARC). — (DA) On a point of order, Madam President: I regret to have to inform the Commissioner that what he says is untrue.
Jeg vil gerne over for kommissæren gentage det spørgsmål, som hr. Boutos stillede.
I did not receive these reports two hours later.
Bonde, det var ikke til forretningsordenen.
And the Commissioner should know that.
Alavanos (COM). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne spørge kom missæren, om Kommissionen er bemyndiget til at påtvinge de statslige radio- og tv-kanaler programmer af politisk karakter.
Mr Schinzel (S). — (DE) Mr Commissioner, are you prepared to state categorically that EEC information offices fully satisfy the obligation to provide adequate information during election campaigns and do not allow themselves to be intimidated by attacks on the part of militant opponents of the EEC?
Dalsager. — Det mener jeg absolut ikke, Kommissionen har nogen beføjelse til.
Mr Dalsager. — (DA) I can answer that question in the affirmative.
Cryer (S). — (EN) Kan Kommissionen fortælle for samlingen, hvilken andel af informationsbudgettet der går til at forklare den fælles landbrugspolitik? Hvordan redegør EFs informationsorganer for den del af fællesskabsbudgettet (70%), der bruges til at bevare de enorme og for de fleste mennesker uanstændige fødevarebjerge?
Mr Dalsager. — (DA) I would inform the last speaker that the Commission is of course responsible for the activities of the information offices; it is after all responsible for the work of the departments and services, whether they are concerned with information or some other activity.
Går samme andel — 70% — af informationsbudgettet til at bortforklare mang
Our information offices have various tasks to perform around the Member States.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 8 af Rogalla (H-98/84), overtaget af Schinzel :
Mr Bonde (ARC). — (DA) On a point of order, Madam President: I merely wish to say that Mr Dalsa-
For øvrigt er det vigtigt at stille de lande, der ønsker at indtræde, over for et ordnet hus og i tide skabe grundlaget for en solid videreudvikling af Fællesskabet, også i tiden efter udvidelsen.
Mr Bonde (ARC). — (DA) Madam President, it is your duty as President of this Assembly to ensure that I get an answer . . .
Hvad er Kommissionens forklaring på, at toldunionen endnu ikke er gennemført 26 år efter EØF-traktatens ikrafttræden?
President. — Mr Alavanos, you are referring to a question put by Mr Bonde to which the Commissioner has already replied.
Ligger hovedansvaret for forsinkelsen hos medlemsstaterne?
President. — You do not have the floor, Mr Bonde.
Hvordan agter den at indhente forsinkelsen, eller i hvilke etaper vil den gennemføre toldunionen?
Mr Dalsager. — I definitely do not think the Commission has any competence in regard to that.
Schinzel (S). — (DE) Hr. kommissær, kan De med dele, om der i Kommissionen er truffet forberedelser til at opbygge en europæisk enhedstoldforvaltning, og hvornår man kan regne med den?
President. — Question No 8, by Mr Rogalla (H-98/ 84); for whom Mr Schinzel is deputizing. Subject: Customs union
