Adamou (COM). - (GR) Ifølge artikel 55 i fælles skabsretten er en regering ikke forpligtet til at acceptere uddannelsesmæssig aktivitet i landet, da dette berører den politiske magt.
Mr Maher (L). — Could I take this point a little further and suggest to the President-in-Office of the Council that a Community surveillance force would provide a more effective service than is possible from individual countries.
En britisk specialist i kønssygdomme, John Seal, har udtalt, at erhvervet immundefektsyndrom (AIDS) muligvis er fremstillet på laboratorier med henblik på anvendelse som våben i biologisk krigsførelse og siden er blevet udbredt med vilje eller ved en fejltagelse, hvilket skulle have forårsaget den nuværende epidemi.
On 28 March 1985 the Council stated that it would consider, on the basis of a Commission proposal, financial arrangements which would help Member States acquire surveillance and con trol facilities which they would need in order to implement the common fisheries policy after enlargement.'
Eftersom andre oplysninger af lignende art er kommet ud, bedes Rådet oplyse, om det har til hensigt at undersøge tro værdigheden af disse oplysninger, og i hvilket land dette virus er blevet fremstillet?
Will the Council now state whether or not such proposals have been brought forward and will it indicate its present position on the matter?
Van den Broek. — (NL) Rådet har ringe indflydelse, for jeg antager, at det her er Kommissionen, der må føre tilsyn med eventuelle krænkelser af bestemmelserne.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) I think the honourable member is perhaps forgetting that the Community already has a Community inspectorate which cooperates with a variety of national bodies in this area.
I tilfælde af, at der opstår meningsforskelle mellem den pågældende medlemsstat og Kommissionen, skal sagen forelægges for Domstolen.
President. — As the authors are not present, Questions Nos 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 and 100 will be answered in writing.'
Om : Menneskerettigheder i Fællesskabet
Subject: Research into the origin of the AIDS virus
Jeg kan derimod meddele, at det nederlandske formandskab har til hensigt at foreslå, at det generelle problem med bekæmpelsen af AIDS, som hidtil ikke er blevet behandlet i Rådet, i første om gang drøftes af sundhedsministrene på samlingen i slutningen af maj 1986.
The British venerologist, Dr John Seal, has stated that it is likely that the AIDS virus was produced in a laboratory for use as a weapon in biological warfare and was later spread intentionally or by mistake, causing the current epidemic.
Som et praktisk eksempel herpå kunne nævnes behandlingen af Par lamentets nylige beslutning om menneskerettighedssituationen i verden. Dette var et emne, som var af stor betydning for EPS, og som ligeledes lå dette formandskab meget på sinde«.
Since other information of a similar nature has - been published, does the Council intend to inves tigate the truth of the above assertion and estab lish in which country the laboratory that produced the virus is located?
Alavanos (COM). — (GR) Det er svært at stille til lægsspørgsmål i en sag, som Rådet ikke har behandlet endnu.
Mr Barrett (RDE). — I thank the Minister for his answer, brief as it was, but I realize that the proposals have not reached the Council yet.
Derfor gentager jeg mit spørgsmål. Jeg mener, at det uafklarede spørgsmål om, hvordan AIDS er opstået, bør optage Rådet, eftersom det er et spørgsmål, der har foruroliget Europas befolkninger.
I would like to ask the Minister whether a proposal or an application coming before the Council for further grant aid to provide a further fishery protection vessel in Irish waters would be received sympathetically by his Council.
Ligger menneskerettighederne i Fællesskabet også formandskabet meget på sinde, og i bekræftende fald, hvad agter det at gøre med hensyn til at tage krænkelser af menneskerettigheder ne i Fællesskabet op til behandling som led i EOS?
In view of the huge number of infringements recorded in the last year-and-a-half in EEC fishing waters, most of which took place in Irish waters, would the Minister not consider it a priority for a restricted naval service such as ours to get further grant aid for the provision of another vessel in order to try to deal with this problem?
Van den Broek. — (NL) Det tager jeg til efterretning. ning.
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) The Council is unaware of the information to which the honourable member refers.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 102 af Adamou (H855/85):
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) If the Commission sub mits a proposal to this effect then the Council will of course have to consult and pronounce on it.
Om : Fri etablering af udenlandske skoler og uddannelsesinstitutioner i Grækenland
Mr Alavanos (COM). — (GR) It is difficult to put a supplementary question concerning a matter which
Kan Rådet oplyse, om EF vil holde fast ved sine krav til den græske regering i en skrivelse om fri etablering af udenlandske skoler og uddannelsesinstitutioner i Grækenland, idet noget
Mr Wijsenbeek (L). — (NL) Does the Council President not think that where surveillance is carried out by
Vi kan i øvrigt gå endnu længere tilbage i tiden og henvise til et afsnit i præmblen til traktaterne om oprettelse af De europæiske Fællesskaber, hvori der står: »Som har sat sig for ved denne forening af de økonomiske kræfter at bevare og styrke freden og frihenden, og som opfordrer de øvrige europæiske folk, der deler dette ideal, til at tilslutte sig disse bestræbelser. «
I think that the lack of action in connection with the spread of AIDS is something that Council should consider, granted that it is a matter of serious concern to the people of Europe.
Jeg vil gerne spørge : Er der en tilsvarende interesse hos Rådet og det politiske samarbejde for dette spørgsmål, som en fremtrædende international organisation som den internationale arbejdsorganisation har beskæftiget sig med?
ically endeavour to ensure that the mutual exchange of information between your Parliament and EPC is possible on as regular and fruitful a basis as possible in order to bring about a genuine dialogue in the field of EPC ... a practical example of this could be the treatment of your Institution's recent resolution on the human rights situation in the world.
Formanden. — Vi går nu over til spørgsmål til uden rigsministrene.
Are human rights in the Community 'dear also to this presidency'?
Spørgsmål nr. 111 af sir James Scott-Hopkins (H-744/85):
If so, what do they intend to do about considering violations of human rights in the Community within the framework of EPC?
Om : Arrestation og tortur af personer, der mistænkes for at være modstandere af regeringen i Zimbabwe
Subject: Free establishment of foreign colleges and schools in Greece
Balfe (S). — (EN) Jeg takker rådsformanden for et forhåbentlig nyttigt svar og understreger, at nøgleordene i spørgsmålet er »i Fællesskabet«.
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) I must admit that I have considered this question very carefully and wonder what exactly Mr Balfe means by it, whether he perhaps seeks to create the impression that insufficient attention is paid in the Community to human rights?
Otte ud af tolv lande i Fællesskabet er omtalt i Amnesty Internationals rapport, og Storbritannien er nævnt flest gange bortset fra Tyrkiet, navnlig under henvisning til de vedvarende overtrædelser af irske fangers men neskerettigheder i England og menneskerettighederne i Nordirland.
If this is so and if Mr Balfe really doubts the commitment of European political cooperation in the matter then I would refer him to a large number of statements made over the years which condemn all manner of forms of human rights infringements.
Kan jeg få rådsformandens forsikring om, at han ikke kun vil se på menneskerettighedskrænkelser i Lomé-landene, i Sovjetunionen og an dere steder, men også menneskerettighedskrænkelser i Det europæiske Fællesskab og specielt irske fangers behandling, navnlig i Storbritannien, hvor irske fanger i min valgkreds her dag kropsvisiteres. Vil råd sformanden se på dette?
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) The matter raised by the honourable member's question concerns an action for infringement which the Commission has brought against the Hellenic Republic under Article 169 of the EEC Treaty.
(Bifald fra venstre)
He knows these as well as I do.
Jeg mener, at Rådet er kritisk nok til at drøfte overtrædelser af menneskerettighederne i egne lande.
Mr Adamou (COM). — (GR) In accordance with article 55 of the Community's statutes, no government is obliged to accept educational activity within its territory, since this is a threat to political authority.
Når det ikke sker, tror jeg heller ikke, at det kan antages, at der er tale om en overtrædelse af menneskerettigheder i den forstand.
For example, West Germany has not allowed Greece to found Greek schools for immigrants.
Jeg siger endnu en gang, at man ikke kan sige om Rådet, at det ikke prioriterer respekt for menneskerettigheder som sådan i sin politik.
We therefore consider that should anything of the sort happen in Greece, the consequences would be extremely severe.
Jeg tror stadig, at jeg med hensyn hertil kan blive ved det svar, jeg gav i første omgang.
Can the President-in-Office tell us what Council's general view on this issue is?
Van den Broek, formand for udenrigsministrene. — (NL) Sir James Scott-Hopkins spørgsmål vedrører si tuationen i Zimbabwe. Under henvisning til rappor ter fra bl.a.
For this reason, for myself at least, I place a question mark alongside the honourable member's questions, for it seems to me that within the context of European political cooperation and perhaps increasingly in recent years attention is being given to these problems in that context.
Amnesty International — i øvrigt vist ikke af nyeste dato — spørger han om situationen der for øjeblikket.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) The Council has little say in the matter, as I assume that it is the Commission which has to consider whether the rules have been infringed here.
Det er det ærede medlem bekendt, at der nu gøres et forsøg i regeringskredse i Zimbabwe på at slå bro over de nu desværre traditionelle, poli-tisk-etniske forskelle mellem de to store politiske grupperinger.
In the event of a difference of opinion between the Member State concerned and the Com mission, the matter has to be referred to the Court of Justice.
Jeg vil her udtrykke håb om, at det virkelig vil lykkes for de pågældende gruppe ringer at slå bro over deres forskelle.
But I repeat that the Council is not concerned here.
Alavanos (COM). — (GR) For aat gøre det lidt nem mere, vil jeg gerne supplere hr. Balfes bemærkninger med et eksempel.
President. — Question No 103 by Mr Balfe (H-861/ 85):

Mr Balfe (S). — I thank the President-in-Office for what I hope was a helpful reply and point out that the key words in the question are 'in the Community'.
Måske er den eneste vej, vi kan fortsætte ad.
Will the President-in-Office con sider this?
Van den Heuvel (S). — (NL) Det sidste var mig bekendt.
(Applausefrom the left)
Der står også allerede i spørgsmålet, at det ikke henhører under pakken. Det kan dog ikke være de tolv ministres mening, at de på den ene side ved tager en pakke foranstaltninger mod apartheidspolitikken i Sydafrika og på den anden side medvirker til, at kultimporten fra dette land forsætter med at vokse.
Can the Foreign Ministers say whether they are aware of the investigations carried out by Amnesty International which show that the arrest and torture of suspect government opponents in Zimbabwe has risen sharply since the July general election?
Mit spørgsmål lød derfor ikke : Er det medtaget i pakken? Det vidste jeg godt i forvejen.
What representations have been made to the Zimbabwean Government on this subject in· recent months?
Mit spørgsmål lød : Er det ikke en anledning til netop at gå længere end den pakke, der vedtoges i Luxembourg?
What do the Foreign Ministers intend to do now to try to prevent such violations of human rights occurring?
Van den Broek. — (NL) Jeg kan forsikre det ærede medlem, at De Tolv eller formandskabet i deres kon takter med Zimbabwes myndigheder ikke har und ladt og heller ikke vil undlade at tage behørigt hensyn til de problemer, som det ærede medlem har rejst.
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office of the Foreign Ministers. — (NL) Sir James' question concerns the situation in Zimbabwe.
Van den Broek. — (NL) Når det drejer sig om import i Fællesskabet, så drejer det sig ikke om, hvorvidt Fællesskabet medvirker i denne import.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) I understand that, but that is not the answer I would make to Mr Balfe's comment. Firstly, he refers to a number of reports.
Spørgsmålet er så af en helt anden karakter: Hvor langt ønsker De Tolv at gå, når det drejer sig om at træffe restriktive, dvs. økonomiske, foranstaltninger mod Sydafrika?
I would have thought the Council is quick enough to discuss human rights violations in our own countries. Where it does not, I do not think we can assume there has been a violation of human rights as such.
Jeg formulerede mit svar i første omgang, sådan som jeg gjorde, fordi fru Van den Heuvel deraf kan udlede, at De Tolv som sådan ikke er rede til at træffe foranstaltninger i den af hende foreslåde retning.
I would say again, no one can accuse the Council of not giving a high enough priority in its policy to human rights as such. I think I can stand by what I said on this in the first place.
Ulburghs (NI). — (NL) Kan ministerenbekræfte, at importen af sydafrikanske kul netop som følge af apartheid og lave lønninger betyder en stor fare for den europæiske kulindustri?
Is the honourable member aware that an attempt is currently being made in government circles in Zimbabwe to bridge what have regrettably become traditional political and ethnic differences between the two main political groups?
Er ministeren klar over, at de sydafrikanske sociale religiøse organisationer selv anmoder om denne boycot?
We know that such efforts have not succeeded in the past, on the contrary that they have actually led to situations like that in Matabeleland, on which the Community has expressed concern.
Hvilke skridt vil ministrene i bekræftende fald kunne tage i retning af boycot af sydafrikanske kul?
I trust that the groups concerned will indeed see their way to overcoming their differences.
Van den Broek. — (NL) Der støder vi ind i en noget vanskelig diskussion nu for øjeblikket, for det er naturligvis et fundamentalt problem.
Mr Alavanos (COM). — (GR) To make things a little easier, I would like to add an example to what our colleague Mr Balfe said.
Hvis jeg fra min side for en gangs skyld må envise til oplysninger fra Amnesty International, hvoraf det fremgår, at 123 ud af 160 medlemmer af De forenede Nationer på en eller anden måde gør sig skyldig i overtrædelse af menneskerettigheder, og idet jeg også henviser til tid ligere drøftelser herom blandt De Tolv, hvort det kun en gang tidligere er forekommet, at menneskerettighedskrænkelser i et land i den tredje verden har ført til konsekvenser for udviklingsforholdet mellem EF og dette land, udtrykker jeg håb om, at hr. de Vries' spørgsmål kan betragtes som forhastet.
Since on Council's part, on the part of Political Cooperation, there is indeed a great deal of interest in contraventions of human rights all over the world, except in the case of the United States and the Member States themselves, I would like to quote the following examples.
Van den Broek. — (NL) Spørgsmålet er aldrig som sådant blevet drøftet af De Tolv.
Sir James Scott-Hopkins (ED). — Will the Minister accept that these killings are still going on in Matabeleland, as far as one can hear, and certainly from the reports of Amnesty International?
Jeg gør i øvrigt det ærede medlem opmærksom på, at der af mange europæsie lande også indføres kul fra andre tredjelande, der så i og for sig også kan være en trussel mod EFs kulimport. port.
I should like to ask: on the part of Council and Political Cooperation, is there equivalent interest concern ing this issue, granted that an international organisation with the prestige of the International Labour Organisation is already considering the matter?
Mener udenrigsministrene, at den kendsgerning, at kulimporten fra Sydafrika er steget stærkt i næsten samtlige medlems stater i det forløbne år (Se svar på skriftlig forespørgsel nr. 1002/85) ('), er i overensstemmelse med ånden i de beslutninger, som blev truffet i Luxembourg med hensyn til handels politiske foranstaltninger over for Sydafrika, som om de nævn te beslutninger ikke formelt vedrørte handel med stenkul, og vil disse kendsgerninger (yderligere) foranledige udenrigsministrene til at vedtage videregående sanktioner?
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) I can assure the honour able member that the Twelve or the presidency have not ceased and will not cease in their dealings with the Zimbabwe authorities to take due acount of the problems which the honourable member raises.
Tonque (S). — (EN) Hvorledes kan den sydafrikanske udenrigsminister vende tilbage til Sydafrika efter samtaler med hr. Van den Broek i Genève og sige, at han var »opmuntret« af drøftelserne?
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) I think I can say that when the honourable member refers to situations in the Federal Republic of Germany, of whatever kind, he is talking about a country which is a full democracy, with an independent system of law and justice under which all such actions can be brought and under which careful legal procedures and thus careful rulings are guaranteed.
Mener ministeren, at det er hans opgave at opmuntre den syd afrikanske regering?
President. — We turn now to the questions addressed to the Foreign Ministers.
Van den Broek, formand for udenrigsministrene. — (NL) Jeg kan kun sige til fru Van den Heuvel, at det ganske vist kan være rigtigt, hvad hun siger med hen syn til en voksende import af kul fra Sydafrika til Fællesskabet, men at der her er tale om en import, der ikke hører ind under den pakke af restriktive for anstaltninger, der vedtoges i EPS den 10. september. ber.
Mr De Vries (L). — (NL) In view of the fact that the Council's efforts to improve the situation have not brought any worthwhile results so far, does the Council presidency share my view that it it time for a discussion by the Twelve on their development relations with Zimbabwe, whereby both the stepping up and if necessary the freezing or reducing of development cooperation might be considered?
Van den Broek. — (NL) Der hænger vist også lidt, sammen med det tidligere spørgsmål om, hvorvidt
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) We are getting into a rather delicate discussion now, because that is naturally a fundamental problem. If I may in turn refer to
Van den Broek holde det ærede medlem informeret om deres bestræbelser. belser.
Van den Broek low wages and apartheid, constitute a grave threat to the Community coal industry?
O'Donnell (PPE). — (DE) Desværre finder jeg ministerens svar meget utilfredsstillende og skuffende. Det er en forbløffende situation, at selv om fader Roma no blev bortført i juli 1985, ved vi den dag i dag ikke, hvor han befinder sig, eller om han er i live eller død.
Is he aware that the social and religious organizations in South Africa are themselves pressing for such a boycott?
Vil ministeren sammen med sine kolleger forny deres bestræbelser for at få positive oplysninger fra de filippinske myndigheder om fader Romanos opholdssted — en sag, der vækker stor bekymring?
information from Amnesty Internation which shows that 123 of the 160 members of the United Nations are in some way guilty of human rights violations, and if I refer to earlier discussions by the Twelve whereby in the past human rights violations in a third world country have only once brought repercussions for the development relations between the EC and that country, I hope that Mr De Vries's question can be regarded as premature.
hr. Botha, Sydafrikas udenrigsminister følte sig op muntret eller ej.
President. — Question No 112 by Mrs Van den Heuvel (H-768/85):
Jeg har straks på et spørgsmål fra hr. Glinne tydeliggjort, hvilke budskab jeg overbragte den minister.
Subject: Coal imports from South Africa
Van den Broek. — (NL) Jeg kan forsikre det ærede medlem om, at denne situation er lige så utilfredsstillende for os som for ham, og vi agter at minde de filippinske myndigheder om sagen, såfremt vi ikke modtager nærmere oplysninger inden for en rimelig frist.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) The subject as such has never been discussed by the Twelve.
Blumenfeld (PPE). - (DE) Kan rådsformanden be kræfte, at en af de mest imponerende sydafrikanske ledere, høvding Buthelezi, under sit besøg i Europa i de forløbne uger, nemlig i Strasbourg, London, Bonn og — antager jeg — Haag, har erklæret, at sanktioner — navnlig mod arbejderne i minerne — medfører, at de bliver arbejdsløse, og at økonomisk tilbagegang netop i disse områder af Sydafrika ville ramme de forkerte, dvs. at det ikke var foranstaltninger til at fjerne apartheiden?
Speaking person ally, on my own account, I can say that if we talk of the desirability or otherwise of restricting coal imports from South Africa the discussion will not be prompted by the question of how far such imports constitute a threat to our own coal industry. I would also remind the honourable member that many Community countries also import coal from third countries, which might be a threat to their own coal industries.
Balfe (S). — (EN) Er ministeren klar over, at mange af de romersk katolske samfund i mit område er dybt bekymret over, at der stadig væk ikke foreligger nyt om fader Romano, og vil han kontakte hr. Philip Habib, præsident Reagans særlige udsending til Filippinerne, og bede ham om at rejse dette spørgsmål under hans samtaler på Filippinerne?
Do the Ministers consider that last year's large increase in coal imports from South Africa in practically all Member States (see answer to Written Question No 1002/85)' is compatible with the Luxembourg decisions concerning trade sanctions against South Africa, even though these decisions do not specifically relate to trade in coal, and are these facts a further incentive for Ministers to adopt more far-reaching sanctions?
Van den Broek. — (NL) Jeg vil tage denne sag nórmese op inden for De Tolv.
Ms Tongue (S). — How could the South African For eign Minister return to South Africa after talks with Mr Van den Broek in Geneva and say he was 'encouraged' by his discussions?
Jeg gør dog det ærede medlem opmærksom på, at der nu engang heller ikke i Syd afrika med hensyn hertil hersker enighed om det ønskelige i en eventuel anvendelse af økonomiske sanktioner mod Sydafrika.
Did he assure him that coal imports from South Africa to the European Community would increase this year — imports which are the product of slave labour and which have been stopped by a Swedish Socialist Government and by a Danish Conservative Government? ment?
Så jeg må sige til det ære de medlem, at dette er ét standpunkt, at der er mange andre, også dem, der i og uden for Sydafrika — og jeg tænker da også på frontlinjestaterne — stærkt går ind for at bruge økonomiske sanktioner som politisk pression mod Sydafrikas regering.
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office of the Foreign Ministers. — (NL) I can only say to Mrs Van den Heuvel that she may well be right as regards the increase in Community coal imports from South Africa, but this is not an import item covered by the package of restrictive measures agreed on by the for eign ministers on 10 September last.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 113 af O'Donnell (H776/85):
Mrs Van den Heuvel (S). — (NL) I was aware of the last fact.
