Kan Kommissionen på baggrund af de meget forskelligartede bestemmelser, der gælder i medlems staterne for indførsel af toldfri rationer af alkohol og tobak oplyse, hvad der gøres for at inføre ensartede bestemmelser for borgere fra medlemsstater, der rejser ind i en anden medlemsstat, for fremmede turister og borgere fra medlemsstater, der rejser ind i Fællesskabet fra et tredjeland?
As all Member States of the European Communities are also members of the International Labour Organization which has a well established, experienced and generally accepted grievance procedure to which all trade unions have access it seems indicated that in case of infringements to the above principles the matter should be pursued in the ILO frame-work.
Som svar på et lignende spørgsmål stillet af hr. Pearce i skriftlig forespørgsel nr. 1517/80 (') erklæ rede Kommissionen, at for så vidt angår rejsetrafik mellem medlemsstaterne, og bortset fra en række nedsatte mængder for toldfri indførsel, som gælder i Danmark ifølge undtagelser, der er
Should it prove that there had in fact been infringement of certain general principles of law relating to industrial relations, the Commission, in the light of its general responsibilities as regards compliance with the fundamental principles of the Treaty, could not remain uninvolved and would certainly draw the matter to the attention of the national authorities.

Subject: Representation of Gibraltar in the European Parliament
For personer, der rejser ind i Fællesskabet fra et tredjeland, er fritagelserne vedrørende toldafgifter, der opkræves i henhold til den fælles toldtarif, og vedrørende afgifter på landbrugsvarer, ligeledes blevet harmoniseret.
Would the Commission indicate whether or not it is considering allowing representation from Gibraltar to the European Parliament and if not, will the Commission say why?

Question No 22 by Mr Purvis (H-309/81)
Om: Indrejsekort.
Subject: VAT on the expenses incurred by charitable organizations
Kommissionen udtaler i sit svar på min skriftlige forespørgsel nr. 1528/80 ('), at udfyldelse af såkaldte »indrejsekort« i to EF-medlemsstater »ikke kan forenes med traktatens ånd«, og bebuder, at den vil opfordre til at afskaffe dette indrejsekort. Hvad er der sket i mellemtiden og med hvilket resultat?
Does the Commission intend to review the rules governing VAT on the expenses incurred by charitable organizations (such as churches, hospices, children's homes, etc.) on repairs and maintenance to their buildings so as to eliminate this financial burden?
Den 9. juli 1981 meddelte Kommissionen skriftligt de faste repræsentanter for Frankrig, Italien og Grækenland, at udfyldelse af et indrejsekort for medlemsstaternes statsborgeres vedkommende efter Kommissionens mening ikke var foreneligt med EØF-traktaten.
As the Commission indicated in its reply to Mr Price's question No H 60/81 in April this year, we do not think that amending the common VAT system is an appropriate way of providing financial support for private charitable organizations.
Kommissionen anmodede regeringerne i disse tre medlemsstater om inden to måneders forløb at oplyse, hvorvidt de har til hensigt at afskaffe indregjsekort, for så vidt angår statsborgere i Fælles skabet.
Any attempt to establish a common system of exemption from VAT for such bodies would be administratively very complex and would give rise to difficult problems of interpretation.
Kommissionen har endnu ikke modtaget svar på disse henvendelser.
Nor have we any evidence that such a proposal would be welcome to the Member States.

Question No 28 by Mr Harris (H-329/81)
Pressen har gengivet nogle bemærkninger fra Kommissionens formand, Gaston Thorn, under en pressekonference i anledning af en nylig rejse i De forenede Stater, ifølge hvilke de direkte valg til vort Parlament havde været en fejltagelse, og hvori de europæiske parlamentsmedlemmers evner og arbejde blev nedvurderet.
In March 1981, a British firm, Cygnus Marine Limited, of Penryn, Cornwall, submitted the lowest tender for a contract to build fishing boats for the Honduras Government under a fishery project which is to be part-financed by the Community. After the tenders were opened, it was learned that a Honduras holding company had submitted an 'alternative tender' and would probably be awarded the contract.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at det er utilstedeligt, at dens formand vælger amerikansk territorium til den slags udtalelser, som han ikke har ment det hensigtmæssigt at fremsætte i sin erklæring ved embedsovertagelsen i vor nærværelse i januar i år, og burde Kommissionen ikke fremme udførelsen af de valgte parlamentsmedlemmers anvarsfulde arbejde ved bedre i sit arbejde at respektere Europa-Parlamentets ret til at kontrollere Kommissionens virksomhed?
In view of this clear breach of tendering rules, what is the Commission now doing to ensure that the contract either goes to Cygnus Marine or else all promises of Community aid to Honduras are with drawn?
Dette gælder ganske særlig den i traktaterne fastsatte udvikling, der har ført til de direkte valg til Deres Parlament, og som betyder en styrkelse af den demokratiske karakter af funktionen i vort Fællesskabs institutioner.
As a result of action by the Commission departments and the Inter-American Development Bank, which is cofinancing the project and manages the Community funds allocated to the project, the Honduran authorities have carried out a thorough investigation of the tender invitation procedures with particular attention to the opening of tenders.
Lige så naturligt er det, at han i samme forbindelse forklarer den meget komplekse karakter og den undertiden empiriske fremgangsmåde i institutioner, der for den amerikanske presse og offentlighed fore kommer ganske særligt unge i forhold til De forenede Staters institutioner, som har en tohundredeårig tradition.
However, according to the most recent official information received by the Commission, it seems that opinion among the authorities in question is favourable to awarding the contract on economic and technical grounds to the British firm, Cygnus Marine Ltd.

Om.-Situationen for den europæiske skotøjsindustri.
Subject: Integrated action programme for Naples
Japan, som kunne blive en betydelig kunde for de europæiske udførsler, og som opretholder særdeles høje importafgifter og kvantitative restriktioner.
These projects cover the special projects (pollution control, water management schemes, metropolitan area) and the infrastructure of industrial areas.
Kommissionen har for ganske nylig atter henledt de japanske myndigheders opmærksomhed på den kendsgerning, at åbning af det japanske marked for den europæiske skotøjseksport prioriteres højt af Fællesskabet.
The Cassa per il Mezzogiorno requested and obtained from the Regional Development Fund aid for projects which have commenced and which are valued at Lit 351 000 million (special project, pollution control in the Bay of Naples, water supply works in the western part of the Campania region, harbour works, equipment in industrial areas and other works).
Den japanske importafgift på læderfodtøj er for tiden på 27 °/o, og endvidere findes der en kontingentering, hvis beløb og anvendelsesbetingelser ikke er klart fastsat. Som det ærede parlaments medlem sikkert ved, begrunder de japanske myndigheder deres politik på dette område med de særlige sociale forhold i Japan: beskyttelse af et religiøst mindretal, »Dowa«.
The contribution provided by the Regional Development Fund amounted to Lit 131 000 million, of which Lit 58 000 million was entered in the 1980 budget and the remaining Lit 73 000 million in the 1981 budget.
Det skal imidlertid bemærkes, at de i læder- og fodtøjssektoren beskæftigede medlemmer af Dowa kun udgør ca. 2 %, og at den japanske regering i adskillige år har ført en politik til støtte for disse medlemmer.
No expenditure has yet been incurred in respect of these works and studies, which are currently being prepared. Expenditure on projects submitted at the end of 1979 totals approximately Lit 3 000

Question No 30 by Mr Galland (H-333/81)
Om: Mulige priskarteller inden for den kemiske industri og plasticindustrien.
Subject: Joint position of the Ten vis-à-vis Japan
Den britiske plasticindustri domineres af store selskaber, som kan forlange salgspriser, der er væsentlig højere end priserne i andre europæiske lande.
While the trade deficit with Japan reached a record 11 000 million dollars in 1980, the Ten are still far from reaching the common position which the declarations of the Council of Foreign Ministers in May 1981 might have led one to expect.
Producenter på fastlandet benytter lejligheden til at forlange de samme høje priser i Det forenede Kongerige, mens britiske selskaber fører en lavere prispolitik på fastlandet.
Having advocated the adoption of a truly common position by the Ten over the past year, will the Commission make a special effort to define at long last a firm strategy by the Member States vis-à-vis Japan?
Svar a) Kommissionen er underrettet om den i spørgsmålet omtalte situation, der kan forklares — i alt fald delvis — ud fra pundets værdistigning i forhold til andre valutaer.
During these talks the Commission made every effort to obtain from the Japanese, on the basis of the Council declaration of May 1981, a unilateral restriction on exports to the Community as a whole.
Resultaterne af denne undersøgelse har indtil nu ikke været belastende nok til at indlede en officiel procedure.
The Commission's efforts were naturally hampered by the measures taken in the case of the German and Benelux markets.
Kommissionen har ikke modtaget klager fra berørte firmaer i den omtalte sektor.
The Commission nevertheless reached agreement with the Japanese on the following points:
b) Producenters pligt til at sælge deres varer overalt i Det europæiske Fællesskab til de samme priser.
(a) The Japanese acknowledged the European car industry's continued efforts to modernize and adapt.
Bortset fra særområderne Euratom, kul og stål samt landbrug indeholder traktaterne ingen for skrifter, der giver Kommissionen beføjelser til at pålægge virksomheder i en bestemt sektor en pris politik med ensartede priser.
(b) Japanese car exports to the Community in 1981 would expand at a more moderate rate in view of the restrictions agreed with Germany and the Benelux countries, the import restrictions imposed by certain Member States and the recent currency fluctuations affecting the yen and European currencies.
EØF-traktaten er baseret på den anskuelse, at især sammenspillet mellem udbud og efterspørgsel må bestemme prisniveauet på markedet.
(c) The measures agreed to by Japan with regard to the USA and Canada would not lead to any diversion of Japanese car exports to the Community.
Jeg er imidlertid nødt til at henvise til, at det er selvbedrag at mene, at der på det fælles marked kan opstå ensartede priser.
(d) During the autumn this year there would be an exchange of views between the Japanese and the Commission on the prospects for 1982.

Question No 31 by Mr Abens (H-336/81)
Har man fra nogen side rådført, sig med Kommissionen om den gasrørshandel med Sovjetunionen, som store virksomheder inden for Fællesskabet vil gennemføre med støtte fra deres regeringer, og hvorledes vurderer Kommissionen denne handel ud fra synspunkterne politisk og økonomisk hensigtsmæssighed samt forsyningssikkerhed?
Now that the French Government has adopted a new strategy on energy, will the Commission be prepared to suggest that it scrap the plan to build a nuclear power station close to the Luxembourg-Saarland border, since the arguments against locating such a plant in populous areas are well known, and that it should instead build a non-polluting coal-fired power station, possibly in cooperation with the Saarland and Luxembourg?
Der finder stadig forhandlinger sted mellem Sovjetunionen og nogle virksomheder i medlemsstaterne.
It is for the French authorities to decide which fuel to use in power stations built in France.
Med hensyn til rådføring mellen} medlemslandene, industrien og Kommissionen, forsyningssikkerheden samt det politiske aspekt henviser Kommissionen til sit svar på skriftlig forespørgsel nr. 1773/80 af det ærede parlamentsmedlem hr. Berkhouwer af 12. januar 1981 afgivet den 18. marts 1981 af næstformand hr. Davignon.
The Commission would point out that the construction of nuclear power stations is part of the Community energy objectives whereby 70-75% of primary energy requirements for electricity generation are to be covered by nuclear power and solid fuels by 1990.
Hvad angår den økonomiske hensigtsmæssighed skal leveringen af ét kvantum rør og tilhørende installationer have en fordelagtig indvirkning på de pågældende fællesskabsvirksomheders aktivitet — herunder beskæftigelsen.
With regard to the location and the pollution hazards of a power station, whether of the nuclear or traditional type, close to a frontier, the Commission view is that there should be prior consultation between the Member States involved.

Om: Rapport til Rådet vedrørende mandatet af 30. maj 1980.
Subject: Report on the disabled
Det er Kommissionens ønske, at alle Fællesskabets organer og især Europa-Parlamentet skal inddrages i de drøftelser, der skal føre til en fornyelse af fællesskabspolitikken.
Moreover, financial support has been requested in the draft 1982 budget for some specific measures designed to improve the transition of young handicapped from school to working life.
Kommissionen stoler på Parlamentets samarbejde, og dets bidrag anses for at være af væsendig interesse.
In order to ensure that the numerous activities over a number of sectors involved are in the future combined into one cohesive and strategic programme of work, the Commission is in the final stage of preparation of a Communication to the Council which will incorporate new proposals at Community level in support of the social integration of the disabled.
Da Rådet anmodede Kommissionen om rapporten, forekom det Kommissionen nødvendigt at henlede Rådets opmærksomhed på, at de konklusioner på politisk plan, Kommissionen foreslår, bliver undersøgt, og at Rådet ikke behandler disse forslag særskilt.
The actions which will feature in the Communication are being formulated in the light of the recommendations relating to Community action contained in the Resolution of the European Parliament.

Question No 33 by Mr Normanton (H-341/81)
Ved udgangen af juli sendte Kommissionen en økonomisk henstilling til Belgien, navnlig vedrørende problemerne omkring de interne udgifter og udlandsgælden.
In view of the wide diversity of 'duty-free allowances' of alcohol and tobacco publicized by Member States, what steps are being taken to achieve a common scale of allowances for Member States' citizens travelling into other Member States and for visitors and citizens of Member States entering the Community from a third country?
— den monetære støtte på kort sigt, som blev oprettet i-1970 og ændret ved EMS-systemets ikrafttræden i marts 1970.
EEC,3the rules governing turnover tax and excise duty applicable to spirits, wines and tobacco carried in international travel are fully harmonized throughout the Community.
Denne mekanisme forvaltes i overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i aftalen mellem centralbankerne og medlemsstaterne;
It should however be mentioned that in the framework of the regional union between Belgium and Luxembourg, Belgium grants an additional allowance of 8 litres for the import of Luxembourg wine by travellers coming from Luxembourg.
— den finansielle mekanisme på mellemlang sigt, som blev oprettet i 1971 og ændret i december 1978 i forbindelse med EMS-systemets ikrafttræden. Denne mekanisme administreres under iagttagelse af forskellige rådsbeslutninger;
As regards travellers arriving in the Community from third countries, the allowances relating to duties levied under the Common Customs Tariff and to agricultural levies have similarly been harmonized.
— fællesskabslån, oprettet i 1975 til hjælp for medlemsstater, der har betalingsbalance-problemer som følge af olieprisstigningerne; for nylig ændret ved en rådsforordning.
It should be noted, however, that for tobacco products carried by travellers whose residence is outside Europe, the Regulation4concerned sets a maximum quantity below which Member States can fix national limits aligned with those of a fiscal character.

Om: Genindførelse af fødevarehjælp til Vietnam.
Subject: Disembarkation cards
Kan Kommissionen, nu da kommissionsmedlem Pisani skal møde Vietnams ambassadør, Mai Van Bo, fremkomme med oplysninger om datoen for genoptagelsen af denne fødevarehjælp og omfanget heraf?
In its answer to my Written Question No 1528/80,5the Commission described the filling in of disembarkation cards in two Member States as running counter to the spirit of the Treaties, and stated that it would press for the use of these cards to be discontinued.
Spørgsmålet om en genoptagelse af fødevarehjælpen til Vietnam har allerede været genstand for svar fra Kommissionen til Europa-Parlamentet (jf. skriftlig forespørgsel nr. 334/81 af Lizin og mundtlig forespørgsel nr. H-157/81 af Denis).
On 9 July 1981 the Commission informed the Permanent Representatives of France, Greece and Italy in writing that it was the Commission's view that the filling in of disembarkation cards by nationals of the Member States was incompatible with the EEC Treaty.
Da dette lands fødevaresituation ikke bedres, og i betragtning af nye anmodninger om fødevarehjælp fra specialorganer til fordel for Vietnam, har Kommissionen taget de tekniske muligheder for gennemførelse af eventuel fødevarehjælp op til ny undersøgelse.
The Commission requested the govern ments of these three Member States to say within two months whether they intended to abolish disembarkation cards for Community nationals.

Som svar på mit spørgsmål H­151/81 (') om Cypern gav Kommissionen udtryk for håb om, at der i løbet af sommeren ville blive indledt forhandlinger med den cypriotiske regering om det fremtidige grundlag for associeringsaftalen mellem Cypern og Fællesskabet.
The President of the Commission, Mr Thorn, is reported to have said during a press conference on a recent trip to the United States that direct elections to our Assembly were a mistake and to have commented unfavourably on the abilities and work of Members of the European Parliament.
Vil Kommissionen gøre rede for, hvorvidt disse forhandlinger er indledt, og i benægtende fald meddele, hvornår disse vigtige forhandlinger, der oprindelig var planlagt til begyndelsen af 1981, vil blive indledt?
Does the Commission not agree that it is quite intolerable for its President to have chosen to make this kind of remark in America as he did not feel any need to do so in the address he gave on taking up his duties last January, and should it not be helping Members of Parliament to fulfil their duties by showing more concern in its work for the right of control which the European Parliament has over its activities.·'

Sitting of Wednesday, 16 September 1981
Om: Forbedring af de internationale telefonforbindelser til Grækenland.
Parliament must be well aware that in the United States there is a keen interest in and a very high regard for the institutions of the Community and especially the European Parliament.
Af mange forskellige grunde, også politiske og økonomiske, er forbindelsesmulighederne mellem de enkelte lande blevet af alto­verskyggende betydning.
During the press conference to which the honourable Member refers, the President of the Commission gave only this kind of explanation and information.
Men for øjeblikket er de internationale telefonforbindelser til Grækenland overbelastede, og det er vanskeligt at komme igennem.
At no time and in no way did he express views which would support the interpretation which certain press comments, mentioned by the honourable Member, would seem to indicate.
Agter Kommissionen at øge bevillinger og bestræbelser for at forbedre denne situation?
Subject: Situation of the European footwear industry
Kommissionen er enig med det ærede parlamentsmedlem i den altoverskyggende betydning af at udvikle effektive kommunikationslinjer mellem Fællesskabets lande.
The Commission would remind the honourable Member that the situation of the European footwear industry continues to be studied attentively by the Commission departments.
Fællesskabet kan imidlertid ved hjælp af visse af dets finansieringsinstrumenter såsom den europæi­ske udviklingsfond og EIB bidrage til en forbedring af infrastrukturerne på telekommunikationsom­rådet.
In this context the Commission attaches special importance to the opening of markets in the industrialized nations, including Japan, which could become a major customer for European exports and which imposes particularly high import duties and quota restrictions.
Den græske stat har i øvrigt i 1981 rettet anmodning til Den europæiske Fond for Regional­udvikling om støtte til udvikling af de indenlandske og udenlandske telekommunikationsforbin­delser.
The rate of Japanese import duty for leather footwear currently stands at 27% and there is also a quota restriction which is not very clear in terms of quantity or procedure.
For 1981 har fællesskabsbidraget inden for rammerne af Regionaludviklingsfonden, omfat­tende telekommunikationsinfrastrukturerne i 3 af de 9 græske regioner, beløbet sig til ca. 30 mio ECU.
At the same time it must be said that members of this sect account for only 2% of workers in the leather and footwear industry and for some years the Japanese Government has implemented a policy of aid in their case.
På 1982­budgettet er der afsat et supplerende bidrag til de samme regioner.
The initial aim of the Community moves is to obtain an increased quota and greater clarity in its application.
Endvidere er der planer om andre projekter af lignende art i andre græske regioner i nær fremtid.
The Commission is pursuing its efforts to obtain a complete opening of this market and high-level talks are scheduled in the coming weeks.

Om/Handicappede: Merværdiomsætningsafgift.
Subject: Possible price cartels in the chemical and plastics industries
Under henvisning til Parlamentets beslutning (punkt 25) om handicappede samt efter medlemsstaternes godkendelse heraf, kan Kommissionen da bekræfte, at den i 1981 vil foreslå en ændring til det sjette momsdirektiv gående ud på, at privatstøttede organisationer, hvis formål er at bistå handi cappede, fritages for moms i alle medlemsstater?
The British plastic moulding powder industry is dominated by large companies who are able to charge sales prices significantly higher than those obtaining in other European countries. Continental manufacturers seize the opportunity of charging the same high prices in the UK whilst British companies adopt lower pricing policies on the Continent.
Hvad angår velgørenhedsorganisationers levering af varer og tjenesteydelser, indeholder art. 13 i sjette momsdirektiv en bestemmelse om fritagelse for moms.
However, it has no systematic overall view of the cases in which there is a price difference between the United Kingdom and the other Member States in the chemical sector.
