Fotilas. — (GR) Hr. formand, jeg ville gerne spørge hr. ministeren, hvorledes han forestiller sig samarbejdspolitikken — hvorvidt udenrigsministrene fra Fællesskabets medlemsstater ikke kan fremkomme med en betragtning over for deres kollega fra Storbritannien. En ganske enkel betragtning, som kan påpege, at det ikke er denne hårde linje, som vil skaffe løsningen på det nordirlandske problem, for dette er et udpræget politisk problem — men derimod kan det løses ved tilkendegivelse af forståelse for en kamp med århundreders historie.
President proposals to provide incomes for workers aged 55 and over leaving the shipbuilding industry — a proposal which was welcomed by the European Parliament at its December 1980 part-session?' with regard to the observation made by another Minister of Employment at the Jumbo meeting of the Council in Luxembourg to the effect that social policy must remain a national affair, not least because the various social systems are not comparable, since this strikes me as a totally different view.
Har udenrigsministrene, nu hvor strømmen af vietnamesiske flygtninge stiger, i sinde at skride ind over for den thailandske regering til fordel for nogle »bådfolk« — nitten vietnamesiske flygtninge — der er fængslet for at have forulempet nogle thailandske sørøvere, og som risikerer dødsstraf?
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) I do not think it was said at the Jumbo Council that the social policy must remain a national affair, nor do I think this could be claimed in the light of what has already been discussed as regards social policy in the Steel Council where it is generally recognized that restructuring in the steel sector must go hand in hand with social measures, which are Community matters.
Van der Mei. — (NL) Hvis man udøver pres på en regering inden for rammerne af det europæiske politiske samarbejde er det ensbetydende med, at medlemsstaternes individuelle politik ville kunne sættes på dagsordenen inden for disse rammer.
Mr Van der Mei, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) I shall begin with the question by Miss Quin.
Men, hr. formand, reglerne for det europæiske politiske samarbejde tillader ikke noget sådant.
In view of the persistence of certain problems of principle raised by the proposal in question and in the absence of new data, the Council did not at present feel able to hold discussions on the proposal in the near future.
Balfe. — (EN) Vil formanden for Rådet sætte sig for at besøge London, hvor han vil bemærke, at mange mennesker i mit valgområde har fået nok af al den snak omkring den irske strid, og er aldeles ligeglade med, om det forenes med republikken eller bliver uafhængigt, og blot ønsker, at britiske soldater fra London ikke mere bliver dræbt?
The Council is continuing its discussions on the possibility of increasing ECSC financial aid in this connection. I should also like to remind you that, in general, aid is provided within the context of the Social Fund or the Regional Fund and, in special cases, this aid can benefit workers in particular industrial undertakings in, for example, the textile or motor industries.
Hvis de ikke øjeblikkeligt udøver pres fra Fællesskabets side, vil det sandsynligvis være for sent. Er De klar over dette forhold, hr. formand?
Is he now saying that that discussion did not take place, and if so, why not?
Blaney. — (EN) Må jeg have lov til at spørge formanden for Rådet, først og fremmest om han er klar over, til forskel fra det, min kollega, hr. Paisley har sagt, at det ikke kun er den ene part, der er ansvarlig for alle drabene.
Mr, Van der Mei. — (NL) As I have already said, there are still a few problems and the Council does not therefore think it will be possible to reach a decision on this point in the near future.
Van der Mei. — (NL) Det ærede medlem påstår i sit spørgsmål, at det åbenbart ikke skulle være muligt inden for rammerne af det politiske samarbejde at drøfte dette anliggende.
Mr Griffiths. — Mr President, I am not quite sure of thé best way to proceed here, because the President-in-Council just did not answer my question at all.
Jeg mener ikke, dette er en korrekt gengivelse af det, jeg netop sagde.
He literally refused to answer it, and I wonder whether he will now consider answering my question.
Jeg sagde nemlig, at De Ti ikke mener, det på nuværende tids punkt vil være hensigtsmæssigt at henvende sig til de thailandske myndigheder.
In his answer to the written question, he said that there was money available through the ECSC, which we all know.
Fordi sagen behandles af domstolen.
And that is the question I want answered.
Paisley. — (EN) Indlæg til forretningsordenen!
President. — Yes, Mr Griffiths, but the Council is free to answer your question in the way the Council feels.
Formanden. — Anden del af spørgetiden er afsluttet (').
(Interruption from Mr Griffiths)
Blaney. — (EN) De må undskylde, men jeg har endnu ikke stillet mine spørgsmål ...
If the Council feels that part of the question has been forgotten in the answer, I will give the Council full opportunity to reply to that forgotten part of the ques tion, but only at the Council's request.
Jeg vil også gerne takke ham for hans forsøg på at få gennemført disse forbedringer. Jeg ønsker ham fortsat- en god politisk karriere i hans eget land (2).
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) I do not think thè observation just made by the honourable Member is relevant to this question.
(Mødet hævet kl. 19.20)
(Protests)
I denne egenskab, hr. formand, har jeg ikke dette kendskab, fordi jeg kun kan have kendskab til ting, som bliver drøftet inden for rammerne af det
Mrs von Alemann. — (DE) May I then ask the Presdi-dent-in-Office in connection with the two questions put by Mr Griffiths and Miss Quin what view he takes
Spørgsmål, der ikke har kunnet besvares i spørgetiden, besvaret skriftligt
And does he not think that there should be a similar proposal in regard to redundancy pressed on with as quickly as possible in regard to these industries, especially in areas that have no iron-and-steel industry?
I. Spørgsmål til Kommissionen
Be that as is may, this is Question Time, so I will put a question.
Spørgsmål nr. 1 af Kirk
If certain funds are included in the budget and if the honourable Member asks whether I will do what is necessary to ensure that the provisions of the budget can be put into practice, I can only assure him that 1 will do all I can to see to it that a responsible decision is taken in this respect.
Om: Kommissionens forslag til fangstkvoter for fiskeriet i EF.
Mr Fergusson. -— We are as usual going terribly slowly, Mr President.
EFs udenrigsministre enedes i Rådets møde den 30. maj 1980 om en række hensyn, som skulle danne grundlag for det fremtidige fiskeri i EF.
Do you think we might immediately move on, Mr President, to the Foreign Ministers and abandon this part of the programme?
I Kommissionens forslag af 23. oktober 1980 om fordeling af fangstkvoterne for fiskeriet imellem medlemslandene fastsættes disse hensyn til at være
President. — I agree with you, Mr Fergusson, but I have still a considerable number of supplementary questions to this question, and I think I should deal with them before proceeding to political cooperation.
1. hensynet til det historiske fiskeri,
This is the first point I should like to make.
Som Kommissionen allerede har svaret i sit svar på spøgsmål H-19/81 af Kirk, vedrørte dens forslag af 23. oktober 1980 kun kvoter for 1980 og er ikke længere gyldigt.
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) It is in fact true to say that we should not work sector by sector, as it were, but should consider the situation as a whole with a view to developing a cohesive overall policy.
Med hensyn til spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt Kommissionen vil fremsætte et sådant forslag for Parlamentet, inden den fremsætter det for Rådet, henviser Kommissionen til sit svar på spørgsmål H-20/81 af Kirk.
Mr Enright. — I would like to revert to Miss Quin's question which the President-in-Office dit not
Spørgsmål nr. 8 af Buttafuoco (H-75/81)
(Laughter) answer.
For nylig har EF indledt en procedure til undersøgelse af de årsager, der har fået regionen Sicilien til at vedtage regionallov nr. 76 af 4. 8.
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) As the honourable Members know, it had originally been planned to discuss this question at the Council meeting of 9 June.
Kommissionen konstaterer, at fiskerisektoren i Fællesskabet i de senere år har været stillet over for en fundamental ændring i sine udnyttelsesmuligheder, og især over for en betydelig stigning i prisen på brændstof.
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) The honourable Member asks whether the Member States will continue to devote attention to this matter within the context of European political cooperation.
Kommissionen finder, at en sådan støtte er uforenelig med det fælles marked.
I can assure you that we will undoubtedly do so as we have repeatedly considered this matter in the recent past.
Der er nemlig tale om støtte, som har væsentlig indflydelse på konkurrencebetingelserne i Fællesskabet og som ikke giver mulighed for at opnå nogen strukturel forbedring af modtagernes situation, dette så meget mere, som støtten efterhånden ændrer karakter og bliver til et permanent system.
What discussions have the Foreign Ministers had as a result of the European Parliament's recent resolutions on the position of the Baha'i community in Iran and what has been the outcome of these discussions?
Endelig er støtten i modstrid med de energipolitiske målsætninger, der er fastsat af Fællesskabet og medlemsstaterne.
Mr Balfe. — Whilst welcoming the concern of the Council of Foreign Ministers for this issue of human rights, may I ask the President-in-Office specifically when this matter was last discussed and whether it has been discussed since the violations which Miss Quin referred to?
Derimod indtager Kommissionen en yderst positiv holdning over for sådanne nationale støtteordninger, som giver håb om en varig forbedring af fiskerisektorens udnyttelsesmuligheder.
Mr Moorhouse. — Is the President-in-Office aware of reports in the past few hours that seven Baha'is were excuted after being tortured in Hamadan this last Sunday, 14 June?
Således har Kommissionen ikke modsat sig, at der fra begyndelsen af 1980 blev iværksat en række strukturelle støtteforanstaltninger på Sicilien således, at udskiftningen og moderniseringen af fiskeflåden og af anlæg til forarbejdning og handelsmæssig udnyttelse af fiskeprodukter lettere kunne ske.
Would he take steps to verify the accuracy of these reports, which I unfortunately have every reason to believe are correct, and would he undertake to condemn in the strongest possible terms the actions which are apparently being taken by the so-called Iranian authorities?
Endeling erindrer Kommissionen om sine forslag til Rådet vedrørende udvikling af en strukturel fiskeripolitik på fællesskabsplan, som Parlamentet har udtalt sig positivt om.
I can only repeat what I said on that occasion, i. e. that the Ten feel deep concern regarding the persecution of the Baha'i community in Iran, and particularly the recent events.
Kommissionen finder, at en sådan politik, som indebærer en betydelig økonomisk indsats fra Fællesskabets side, vil give fiskerisektoren mulighed for at overvinde sine vanskeligheder.
The situation has been discussed on various occasions at political cooperation meetings. In addition, in his statement on behalf of the Ten during the debate on the report by the Commission for Human Rights held on 30 April in the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, the representative of the President-in-Office expressed the wish that the Iranian Govern ment should review its policy with regard to these minority groups in the spirit of the international treaty on civil and political rights to which Iran is party.
Spørgsmål nr. 11 af Fanton (H-96/81)
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) We are in fact aware of these reports and are greatly disturbed by them.
Om: Genåbning af de italienske grænseovergange for toldbehandling af jern- og stålprodukter.
Miss Quin. — I am aware, of course, that this ques tion was raised at the May partsession of the European Parliament, but since then we have a situation whereby the principal holy place of the Baha'i minority in Iran is being completely destroyed.
Den italienske finansministers bekendtgørelse af 14. november 1980, ved hvilken tallet af de til importklarering af jern- og stålprodukter berettigede toldsteder blev reduceret fra oprindelig
Mr Purvis. — May I say to the President of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs meeting in political cooperation that we are very appreciative of their concern and of the fact that they discuss this matter frequently, but what we should like to hear, if we may, from the President-in-Office this very minute is an outright condemnation of what is happening in Iran. Would he
33 til 12, er efter Kommissionens opfattelse i strid med princippet om varernes fri bevægelighed inden for Fællesskabet.
Purvis more to the honourable Member that the rules govern­ing political cooperation do not permit me to answer questions of this kind.
Kommissionen har derfor den 5. februar 1981 indledt en sag om traktatbrud mod Italien.
undertake to send notes to the Iranian ambassadors, if any, in the Community and to the Iranian Govern­ment and bring the matter up at the United Nations forthwith?
Kommissionen betragter dette som et væsentligt fremskridt.
(Applause from certain quarters of the European Demo­cratic Group)
Men der er stadig nogle vigtige toldsteder, der er lukkede (f.eks.
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) The honourable Member need have no doubt that the ten Member States meet­ing in political cooperation will do whatever is most effective in this respect.
Ventimiglia, Bari og Salerno), om hvilke der foreligger klager fra de berørte medlemsstater og virksomheder.
Mr Kappos. — (GR) Mr President, does not the President-in-Office of the Council think it is rath'er illogical that the Council should constantly be concerning itself with what is happening to the Baha'i or Shcharansky or what have you, but not with what is' happening in its own backyard, i.e. in Northern Ireland, where crimes are in fact being comftiitted against political prisoners?
Kommissionen er derfor af den opfattelse, at der ikke er rådet bod på det italienske traktatbrud, så længe handelen med jern- og stålprodukter inden for Fællesskabet berøres.
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) The honourable Member's ί question is, I think, the same as the question 'which will be put by Mr Balfe in the further course of the ' debate, when I shall have to answer it.
Har Kommissionen kunnet konstatere en kvantitativ eller prismæssig ændring i den europæiske import og eksport på grund af dollarens nylige kurssvingninger?
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) I should like to remind the honourable Member of what I said in answer to the question by Miss Quih, in which I informed you of one of the reactions on the part of the Ten to the events in Iran involving the Baha'i.
Man kan da hævde, at opskrivningen af dollaren især i begyndelsen vil medføre en forværring i Fællesskabets handelsbalance, en forværring, som efterhånden skulle aftage.
In Northern Ireland political prisoners' human rights are being violated in a cruel amd merciless fashion.
Trods det kan man ikke afgøre, i hvilket omfang og på hvilket tidspunkt disse to virkninger vil ophæve hinanden eller hvornår den ene tager overhånd.
Torture is used during interrogations, prison condi­tions are particularly harsh and prisoners arrested as members of national liberation organizations are denied political status, etc.
Af alle disse grunde er det endnu ikke muligt at svare præcist på det ærede medlems spørgsmål.
As a result of this situation Bobby Sands, who is an elected representive to the British Parliament, died in prison.
Spørgsmål nr. 13 afAnsquer
I think that is what Question Time is all about.
Er antallet af indgivne klager steget, og kan afdelingen imødekomme anmodningerne hurtigt med henblik på at få løst sektorproblemerne?
Is the Minister aware that there is no violation of prisoners' human rights in Northern Ireland and that this has been confirmed by the European Commission of Human Rights after a thorough inves­tigation?
Der har været en mærkbar stigning i antallet af anti-dumpingundersøgelser, som Kommissionens tjenestegrene har foretaget de senere år.
This matter has not been discussed within the context of European political, cooperation nor will it be, since the rules governing political cooperation are such that discussion of the individual policies of Member States is not permitted.
Denne stigning har især kunnet iagttages siden 1978 og fortsætter stadig.
make them, it seems that it is never clear enough.
På grund af denne øgede arbejdsbyrde udnyttes kapaciteten hos personalet i Kommissionens afdeling for anti-dumping fuldt ud, og det må erkendes, at der undertiden kan forekomme uundgåelige forsinkelser med hensyn til iværksættelse af nye undersøgelser.
There is currently a discussion under way between the Ten meeting in political cooperation and the Presidency of the European Parliament on the basis of a letter from the Presidency to the President of the European Parliament with a view to clarifying the question as to what sort of questions can be answered and what cannot.
Imidlertid tages der skridt til at råde bod på denne situation snarest muligt.
I can assure you that we shall be very interested to hear the answer from the Presidency of the European Parliament.
Spørgsmål nr. 16 af Quin (H-l 17/81)
Mr Van Minnen. — (NL) I must simply give it one more try, Mr President.
Om: Ophugnings- og bygningsforslag fra Kommissionen til støtte for den europæiske skibsbygningsindustri. ningsindustri.
President. — I should also like to say to the President of the Council that the fact of course remains that, as' we know from our experience at national level too, people sometimes put questions to which an answer is not even required.
Kommissionen bedes redegøre for de fremskridt, der er gjort i overvejelserne over en ophugningsog bygningspolitik. Har Kommissionen taget nogen nye initiativer på dette område siden Grækenlands tiltræden af Fællesskabet?
Mr Van der Mei. — fNL) If the honourable Member will take the trouble to read'the. answer I gave to the previous question, he will undoubtedly understand how things in fact stand.
Efter de sonderende undersøgelser, der har fundet sted i Rådet i slutningen af 1979 vedrørende meddelelsen om en plan for ophugning og bygning af skibe, har Kommissionen, efter at have udvekslet synspunkter med alle interesserede, besluttet at stille dette initiativ i bero.
Mr Purvis. — In view of the fact that this is not the only time that this has happened, that items do not properly fall under the political cooperation element of Question Time, why are these questions put in that section?
Da det således er udelukket, at der foreslås et EF-program i denne forbindelse, er mulighederne for at gennemføre foranstaltninger af denne art på nationalt plan stadig til stede, om end i begrænset omfang.
Mr Fotilas. — (GR) Mr President, I should like to ask the Minister how he understands political cooperation if the Foreign Ministers of the Member States of the Community cannot make a simple suggestion to their British colleague to the effect that it is not by taking this· hard line that they will solve the problem of Northern Ireland — which is primarily a political problem — but rather by demonstrating a spirit of understanding for a struggle which goes back centuries. ries.
Kommissionen undersøger i øjeblikket, om visse af de målsætninger, der ligger til grund for en plan om ophugning og bygning af skibe, og især en styrkning af efterspørgeisen, ikke kunne gennem føres på anden måde.
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) Bringing pressure to bear on a government within the context of political cooperation would mean that the individual policies of Member States could be dealt with in that context.
Men det er for tidligt at afgøre, om disse overvejelser vil kunne give anledning til et nyt initiativ.
This is, however, impossible under the rules governing European political cooperation.
Spørgsmål nr. 18 afBonaccini
So as soon as you admit the question, which has happened in this case, you have also to admit the supplementary question to that.
Kan Kommissionen give nærmere oplysning om, hvor langt man er nået med det arbejde, den har truffet bestemmelse om med henblik på den praktiske anvendelse af beslutningen i dok. nr. 1-673/80 af 13. januar 1981?
Mr Paisley. — Would the President-in-Office of the Council agree that the greatest basic right is the right to live and that right has been denied to many hundreds of people in Northern Ireland by the IRA, who have carried out a campaign of murder against them?
Kommissionen har i de forløbne uger beskæftiget sig intensivt med problemerne i den europæiske automobilindustri.
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) However clearly you make your points, at least however clearly you think you
Kommissionen henvender sig hermed samtidig til Fællesskabets andre organer og institutioner, til regeringerne i medlemsstaterne og til det samlede erhvervsliv og arbejdsmarkedets parter som er interesserede i en sund udvikling af automobilsektoren.
I am sorry, I have not asked any ques- under political cooperation, in your view, do you not think that in a case suph as this where, for the first time, Vietnamese refugees have driven off Thai pirates and then found themselves imprisoned, we should under no circumstances wait until the legal proceed ings have gone too far before the Community takes any action?
Spørgsmål nr. 21 af sir David Nkolson (H-139/81)
Mr Van der Mei. — (NL) In his question, the honourable Member says that it would appear to be impossible to discuss this matter within the context of political cooperation.
Om: Formindsket blytilsætning til benzin.
The second part of Question
Som allerede fremlagt i punkt 2 i svaret på det skriftlige spørgsmål nr. 1447/80 og endnu mere indgående begrundet i svaret på det skriftlige spørgsmål nr. 126/81 (') ser Kommissionen sig for tiden ikke i stand til at udarbejde et nyt udkast til direktiv om en yderligere nedsættelse af blyindholdet i benzin.
Now that the flood of refugees from Vietnam is growing, do the Foreign Ministers intend to intercede with the Government of Thailand on behalf of the boat people, 19 Vietnamese refugees imprisoned for assaulting Thai pirates and facing a possible death'penalty?
Efter at direktiv 78/611 EØF (') af 1. januar 1981 inden for EØFs indre marked kun tillader benzin, hvis blyindhold er begrænset til maksimalt 0,4 g pr. liter (med Irland som eneste undtagelse hvor højere indhold er tilladt, i første omgang for 5 år) bør man afvente dette direktivs virkninger på luftkvaliteten og på befolkningens samlede udsættelse for bly.
I should like to thank Mr Van der Mei, who was making his last appearance · for some time as President-in-Office of the Council, for all the efforts he has made to make Question Time a somewhat more substantial affair — as regards the Council's contribution too — in spite of all the difficulties which arise on such occasions.
Endvidere skal der erindres om, at det nævnte direktiv giver medlemsstaterne mulighed for autonomt på deres område at sænke det maksimalt tilladte blyindhold til 0,15 g pr. liter, hvis de finder det nødvendigt.
There has in fact just been an, exchange in which the point was made that improve ments are called for and I should like to express my thanks for the attempts to bring about these improve ments.
Undersøgelsen viser, at der også ved fuldkommen blyfri luft fortsat vil være en endelig restværdi.
I should also like to wish him luck in his political career back home.2
