These have been approved by the European Parliament; in some cases, the proposals were drawn up and Parliament's opinion on them delivered more than ten years ago.

The result of the publication of price scales has been to put up prices, possibly because, as the President-in-Office said, dealers are also taking their cut.
Spørgsmål nr. 6 af de Lipkowski
This is, I indicated, a very complicated and controversial area.
Om: Den japanske arbejdsgiverdelegations besøg i Kommissionen.
It is, I think, a reason for patient endeavour, presidency by presidency.
Hvilke følger drager Kommissionens repræsentanter af den japanske arbejdsgiverdelegations besøg?
Mr Alvanos. — (GR) The people of Greece have many doubts and queries about the consequences of accession to the EEC, particularly now only a few months after a major political change in the Greek Government.
Mener man i Bruxelles, at dette besøg kan bidrage til at skabe bedre balance i handelsforbindelserne mellem Europa og Japan?
In the context of the harmonzation of tax systems and the intention of the Greek Government — the government of Mr Papandreou — to proceed with a reform of the tax system applied up till now in Greece, I should like to ask whether this is a matter for the Council and whether the nature of tax policy in Greece is in any way a matter for consideration or intervention by the Council or other EEC institutions.
Kommissionen betragter det som ret nyttigt, at ledende japanske forretningsfolk fik lejlighed til fra Kommissionen og regeringsembedsmænd i de besøgte medlemsstater at høre, hvad de har at sige om det aktuelle forhold mellem Japan og Fællesskabet og om foranstaltninger til en ændring af den voksende uligevægt i handelen mellem Fællesskaberne og Japan.
Mr Hurd, President-in-Office of the Council. — The Council has always considered that the harmonization of the tax systems in the Member States is an important factor for further development of a common market, and in particular for the gradual ending of checks at frontiers.
Kommissionen vil omhyggeligt følge, hvilke konkrete skridt der fra japansk side tages til at rette op på uligevægten i handelen mellem Det europæiske Fælleskab og Japan.
This is due in part to the practical obstacle posed by the technical complexity of many fiscal issues, as well as the importance which tax harmonization questions have for the budgetary policies of Member States, and their significance in a wider economic and social context.
Om: Opførelse af el-værker nær ved grænserne.
May I ask you : Is this not an opportunity for the Council to show that it really means what it says in its repeated statements that the European Community should be further developed, simply by finally getting down to solid work on the many proposals? sals?
Kan ¥ ommissionen oplyse, hvorledes det for øjeblikket forholder sig med de samrådsprocedurer, der er vedtaget i forbindelse med opførelsen af el-værker nær ved grænserne mellem medlemsstaterne?
Mr Hurd. — The honourable Member is re-stating a principle which Lord Carrington certainly illustrated and which I myself illustrated when we discussed the completion of the common market during the Parliament's October part-session.
Vil denne procedure, der ingår i Fællesskabets nye energipolitiske strategi, blive overholdt inden for en overskuelig fremtid?
And the honourable Member is certainly right in saying that progress is painfully slow.
Kommissionens forslag om indførelse af en samrådsprocedure vedrørende opførelse af el-værker nær ved grænserne mellem medlemsstaterne har været til behandling i Rådet siden december 1976.
Lord Harmar-Nicholls. — Is the Council aware that, quite apart from the attraction of harmonizing taxes just for the sake of neatness, there is a very real problem at the frontier where customs houses are causing terrific bottlenecks, which add to the cost of freight and things that have to go through, because of the different measures that have to be taken to discriminate between the various tax situations existing in different countries?
Det var på dagsordenen for mødet i Rådet (energiministrene) den 27. oktober, men behandlingen af forslaget blev udsat til et kommende møde.
Could not such a formula be taken into account, rather than going for all out harmonization, which apparently does not find favour with the President-in-Office of the Council who is speaking at the moment?
Meningsforskellene mellem de enkelte medlemsstater er af så grundlæggende karakter, at der på fællesskabsplan ikke kan forventes nogen løsning inden for den nærmeste fremtid.
More recently, to give another example, Member States agreed in principle to adopt a unified approach to the taxation of heavy goods vehicles and we hope that the modest directive involved can be adopted as
Mener Kommissionen, at det er realistisk at forestille sig en sådan aftale indgået imellem EF og Grønland, såfremt Grønland beslutter sig for udmeldelse, og vil aftalen samtidig kunne indeholde ensidige udviklingsbidrag fra EF til grønlandske projekter, og kan Kommissionen bekræfte, at en OLT-aftale med Grønland forudsætter Danmarks fortsatte medlemskab af EF?
I might fall into quite substantial trouble if I started trying to give information of the detailed kind which he requires and which is very specifically within the competence of the Commission and concerns relations between Member States and the Commission.
Som De ved, er Grønland for øjeblikket en integrerende del af Fællesskabet.
has touched upon — harmonization of tax and procedures across frontiers — and both are in our view of very great importance.
Hvis resultatet af folkeafstemningen næste år om Grønlands tilhørsforhold til Fællesskabet vil foran ledige Danmark til at anmode om en ændring af Grønlands status inden for Fællesskabet, vil Kommissionen indgående behandle denne anmodning.
Both are to some extent misunderstood by public opinion in member countries and I think that we have some educational work to do, certainly in the United Kingdom, before harmonization ceases to be a term of abuse.
Men så længe en sådan anmodning ikke er fremsat, kan Kommissionen ikke indlede sig på gisninger om indholdet af en eventuel ny status for Grønland.
But I agree with the basic points which the Noble Lord made, and whether in this Presidency or in future Presidencies, I am sure that the Council will be looking for ways of making progress, and ways other than the immediately orthodox avenues for doing that.
Det er imidlertid klart, at en ændring af Grønlands status vil kræve en ændring af EØF-traktaten i overensstemmelse med artikel 236 i EØF-traktaten.
President. — Since their authors are absent, Questions Nos 78 to 80 will receive written replies.1
Spørgsmål nr. 13 af Enright (H-346/81)
I call Question No 81, by Mr Griffiths (H-609/81):
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvilke politiske overvejelser der har afholdt den fra at genoptage støtten til Vietnam, og navnlig, hvorvidt det skyldes forbindelserne med ASEAN-landene?
Mr Hurd. — This point was put in an earlier question from, I think, Mr Normanton. I said that I certainly think this is highly desirable and I added that we all have a duty to inform and educate in this respect.
På indeværende tidspunkt har Kommissionen intet at tilføje til de svar, der allerede er givet på skriftlig forespørgsel 334/81 af Lizin og på følgende mundtlige spørgsmål: H-157/81 af Denis, H-360/81 af Poirier samt H-534/81 af Lomas.
The Council, therefore, is not called upon to intervene during the various stages of the implementation of the regulations except to take note of the Commission's annual reports which it has not yet, in fact, received.
Spørgsmål nr. 20 afO'Donnel
Mr Hurd. — I sympathize with that.
Om :Shannon-flodens udløb — Irland.
I wonder if he could say why these two programmes are being held up?
Resultaterne af mange undersøgelser viser, at området omkring Shannon-flodens udløb er overordentlig velegnet som større havneanlæg for dybhavsskibe og som industriområde. Vil Kommissionen støtte et sådant projekt og i bekræftende fald hvorledes?
In view of the differences of opinion between the Member States as to the form which a European pass port might take, particularly concerning the use of a set of computerized data, does the Council not think it preferable to abandon a scheme which, in the final analysis, could prejudice the rights and freedoms of the citizens of the Community?
Gennem Regional fonden har Kommissionen allerede bidraget til finansieringen af visse investeringer med det formål at udvikle dette område.
The Greek Government has associated itself with the Venice Declaration, which states that in our view the PLO will need to be associated with eventual negotiations.
Eventuelt vil Kommissionen kunne gøre det igen senere hen.
So that is a clear position as regards the Ten.
Til disse lån vil der kunne ydes en rentegodtgørelse inden for rammerne af Det europæiske monetære System (').
On the same point, has political cooperation been maintained at least in form — in other words, was the Presidency of the Council informed in advance of Mr Cheysson's statements in Israel, or was it presented with a. fait accompli?
Findes der, hvis Parlamentet skulle stemme i overensstemmelse med artikel 144 i Rom-traktaten — vi håber ikke, dette nogen sinde bliver aktuelt — og efter at Kommissionens medlemmer har nedlagt deres hverv, og deres efterfølgere er blevet udnævnt, nogen bestemmelser om ventepenge for resten af den fireårige periode, fortsat bidrag til pensionsordning eller anden form for økono misk støtte til de tidligere medlemmer af Kommissionen?
Were the Foreign Affairs Ministers meeting in political cooperation informed in advance by the Greek Govern ment of its intention to recognize officially the Palestinian Liberation Organization? Do the Foreign Affairs Ministers consider that the process of political cooperation is facilitated by this initiative?
Ved tilbagetræden efter beslutning i overensstemmelse med Rom-traktatens artikel 144 indeholder finansforordningerne, som anvendes på medlemmer og tidligere medlemmer af Kommissionen, ikke nogen specifikke regler.
Mr Marshall. — Would the President-in-Office not agree that if the Community is going to influence events in the Middle East it has to be seen as an honest broker?
Det skal dog bemærkes, at tidligere medlemmer af Kommissionen, som er trådt tilbage, har nydt godt af bestemmelserne i ovennævnte forordninger, hvad angår deres faktiske embedsperiode.
And would hé not agree that the action of Greece in recognizing the PLO and of Athens in granting its freedom to Arafat can only heighten Israeli suspicion of the Community?
Kommissionen gør i den forbindelse det ærede medlem opmærksom på, at den på et tidligere tids punkt har besvaret spørgsmål vedrørende bestemmelserne for tildeling af en overgangsgodtgørelse eller en pension til tidligere medlemmer af Kommissionen ved tjenestens ophør (skriftlig fore spørgsel nr. 1071/80 og 177/80).
Mr Hurd, President-in-Office of the Foreign Ministers. — Bilateral relations with the PLO are a matter for each individual Member of the Ten and do not affect the functioning of political cooperation. The Ten's attitude towards the PLO was clearly set out in the Venice Declaration.
Spørgsmål nr. 22 af Collins (H-543/81)
Mr Israël. — (FR) Does the President-in-Office not think it is his duty to draw the attention of the Greek Government to the fact that the PLO is a composite
Om: Virkningerne af blyforgiftning.
Mr Hurd. — I can't answer for Israeli suspicion of the Community.
Kommissionen har fuldt kendskab til den pilotundersøgelse, der er foretaget af dr. Yule og hans medarbejdere på Institute of Psychiatry i London vedrørende »Forbindelsen mellem blykoncentrationen i blodet, intelligensen og præstationerne hos en skolepopulation«.
Hurd in these matters, it has formed and it has declared that opinion. It is not for the Presidency to pass judgement on the exact arrangements which any Member State makes for keeping in touch with the PLO.
I denne indledende undersøgelse undersøgtes børn, hvis blyindhold i blodet var blevet bestemt som led i anvendelsen af Rådets direktiv (77/313/EØF) af 29. marts 1977 om biologisk overvågning af befolkningen med hensyn til risikoen for blyforgiftning. En rapport om resultaterne af den første overvågningskampagne i henhold til dette direktiv har Rådet og Parlamentet fået forelagt ved dette års begyndelse.
Mr Efremidis. — (GR) In our view, it is up to each individual government to arrange its foreign relations, including whether or not to recognize the PLO, but at the same time — and this is where my supplementary question comes in — the President-in-Office referred to the fact that the Greek Government had signed the Venice Agreement.
Kommissionen er afgjort meget interesseret i dr. Yule's og hans medarbejderes resultater, ifølge hvilke der skal være en lille, men signifikant forbindelse mellem blodets blyindhold og resultaterne af læse-, stave- og intelligensprøver, men ikke for så vidt angår matematik.
Mr Denis. — (FR) Does the Minister not think that what is at stake today is the right of the Palestinian people to national existence and that, on the contrary, latest events such as the annexation of the Golan Heights are further proof that there will be no peaceful solution in the Middle East without recognition of the PLO?
Det skal imidlertid understreges, at dette er en indledende undersøgelse, som er foretaget på 166 børn, og at lederne af undersøgelsen selv konkluderer, at disse resultater skal fortolkes med forsigtighed i betragtning af den grove skala af disponible sociale faktorer.
May I ask whether this reference means that there exist certain margins of manoeuvre and opportunities for the Council of Ministers, in the framework of cooperation, to exert indirect or direct pressure on what Greece, as a sovereign State, wishes to do?
Der er også blevet foretaget sådanne undersøgelser andre steder.
My question is even more justified by the way in which this matter is being discussed here and by the similar way in which it was discussed in the Political Affairs Committee's meeting a few days ago in London.
Samtidig med, at der er mere og mere, der tyder på, at eksponering for kraftige blykoncentrationer kan medføre negative virkninger på præstationer og intelligens, er de eksisterende undersøgelser indbyrdes modstridende med hensyn til de blodblykoncentrationer, dr. Yule og hans medarbejdere undersøgte.
In this case, we therefore feel that there should be a clear answer to the supplementary question as to whether it is the exclusive right of the sovereign Greek State and its government to recognize the PLO or any other organization if it feels this is in its interest, without being submitted to any intervention or pressure whether direct or indirect.
— forlænge dets gyldighed (nu begrænset til 4 år)
This is because we recognize that it does enjoy wide support in the occupied territories.
— tage referenceniveauerne for blodbly op til fornyet overvejelse
President. — Since its author is absent, Question No 88 will receive a written reply.1
— medtage andre giftige metaller, såsom cadmium og kviksølv.
Mr Hurd. — Well, the honourable gentleman states the principle correctly.
Spørgsmål nr. 24 af Haagerup (H-573/81)
I call Question No 89, by Mr Efremidis (H-578/81):
Under henvisning til mit spørsmål nr. H-73/81 (') tillader jeg mig at forhøre, om Kommissionen fortolker sit eget direktivforslag således, at de enkelte medlemslande, herunder i første omgang Danmark, kan vælge at fastholde det nuværende emballagesystem for mælk og juice, som er kartoner, og om Kommissionen kan oplyse, hvor meget dyrere en liter mælk f.eks. i Danmark skønnes at blive, såfremt direktivforslaget af den danske regering fortolkes således, at man bliver tvunget til at overgå til returemballage i form af glasflasker?
Do the Foreign Ministers meeting in political cooperation intend to give serious consideration to the mass anti-war movement which is developing in Western Europe? Do they also propose to put into effect the peoples' wishes, as expressed by the recent demonstrations in support of peace in the capitals of the Member States of the EEC, and condemn the USA's unacceptable designs regarding 'limited nuclear war' in Europe?
Vedtages direktivet, stilles der alene krav til medlemsstaterne om at sørge for at mindske emballageaffaldets negative virkninger på miljøet og at fremme en nedsættelse af energi- og råstofforbruget.
Would he therefore stand up here and now and say, whatever he may say about the Venice Declaration, that he disclaims that particular attitude of the PLO?
Som det vil være det ærede parlamentsmedlem bekendt, præciserede kommissær Narjes i sit svar på dette tidligere stillede spørgsmål, at det er op til den enkelte medlemsstat selv at træffe foranstaltninger til at opfylde forslagets målsætning under forbehold af, at disse foranstaltninger er forene lige med traktaten og stemmer overens med direktivets bestemmelser.
welcomed the commitment of the United States, announced in President Reagan's speech on 18 November, to the goal of major disarmament by means of mutual reductions in nuclear and conventional forces and confidence-building measures. The Ten do not discuss defence questions in political cooperation. eration.
Der skal yderligere gives meddelelse til Kommissionen om, hvilke foranstaltninger der påtænkes iværksat med henblik på at gennemføre direktivet, og medlemsstaterne skal hvert andet år indgive en rapport til Kommissionen om, hvor nøjagtige de årlige overslag har vist sig at være.
May I there fore repeat it and supplement it as follows: Have the ministers meeting in political cooperation discussed or reached any conclusions or decisions on a condemnation of the obvious intentions of the USA to promote a situation in which there is a direct threat of a nuclear war in Europe?
Der er overhovedet ingen mulighed for, at en medlemsstat vil kunne fortolke direktivforslag derhen, at der er tale om et forbud mod at anvende andre emballageformer end returemballage i form af glasflasker.
Mr Israël. — (FR) Does the President-in-Office not fear that the Community's present attitude towards the Polish crisis is strengthening the pacifist movements in Europe?
Spørgsmål nr. 25 af Ryan (H-576/81)
May I therefore ask the Minister for a reply on this point.
Om: Utilstrækkelige olieraffineringsfaciliteter.
Mr Hurd. — I cannot follow the honourable gentleman's train of thought.
Har Kommissionen overvejet de problemer med usikre olieforsyninger, som kan opstå ved, at en ^medlemsstat ikke råder over faciliteter eller tilstrækkelige faciliteter til at raffinere olien, og i givet fald hvilke følger dette kan få; såfremt dette problem endnu ikke har været til behandling, bør det da ikke straks tages op til drøftelse?
Mr Hurd. — I would make two comments. First of all I am surprised that the honourable Member, as an experienced politician, should measure the movement of public opinion by the number of people who demonstrate in the streets.
Efter Kommissionens mening kan indførsel af olieprodukter generelt ikke siges at være mindre sikkert end indførsel af råolie.
Would he have any idea as to how we could better inform younger people, particularly, of the dangerous nature of the one-sided action which many of them are proposing to take?
Importøren af olieprodukter kan frit vælge mellem at købe sine produkter i raffinaderier inden for eller uden for Fælleskabet.
Secondly — and here I repeat my main answer — it is not within the scope of the Ten to enter into discussion of the strategy of NATO or the defence policy of the United States.
Herved råder han over en større mangfoldighed af leveringskilder end raffinaderierne.
I have indicated the area which the Ten have covered in the field of arms control and disarmament.
Kommissionen indrømmer at lukningen af et raffinaderi, især når det er af betydning for forsyningen af et vist marked, kan have en ugunstig indflydelse på forsyningssituationen, hvis ikke der er truffet tilfredsstillende alternative ordninger.
Mr Marshall. — Would the President-in-Office of the Council agree that events in Poland and Afghanistan have emphasized the expansionist and undemocratic basis of international communism and confirm that unilateral nuclear disarmament would guarantee the subjection of the West rather than peace in the world?
Om nødvendigt må selskaberne stille garantier med hensyn til kontinuiteten af og prisen på indførsel af olieprodukter og med hensyn til opretholdelse af et tilstrækkeligt stort beredskabslager.
Mr Hurd. — Speaking as a British Minister, I am convinced that unilateral disarmament would do a great deal to harm the prospects of success in the multilateral discussions which I mentioned, which
Spørgsmål nr. 26 af lady Elles (H-579/81)
I call Question No 91 (H-613/81), by Sir John Stewart-Clark, for whom Sir Frederick Catherwood is deputizing:
Som allerede nævnt i svar på tidligere spørgsmål om samme emne tilslutter Kommissionen sig målsætningerne i 1977-henstillingen fra den europæiske transportministerkonference (CEMT) og ser ikke nogen grund til at gentage CEMT's arbejde på dette område.
Mr Hurd, President-in-Office of the Foreign Ministers. — On 13 October, the Ministers of the Ten approved the London report, in which they agreed on a number of improvements to political cooperation and on the codification of certain practices developed on the basis of the Luxembourg and Copenhagen reports.
Kommissionen er imidlertid klar over nødvendigheden af at forbedre forskrifterne vedrørende særlige parkeringsfaciliteter i medlemsstaterne uden hvilke gensidigheden mellem medlemsstaterne kun kan være af begrænset betydning.
According to this London report, the Presidency will ensure that discussion of the Community and political cooperation aspects of certain questions is coordinated if the subject-matter requires this.
Kommissionen er bekendt med de lokale myndigheders særlige ansvar på dette område og mener, at der er store muligheder for yderligere foranstaltninger på lokalt plan med henblik på at fjerne de forskellige hindringer for handicappedes bevægelighed.
Furthermore, the London report states that the Commission of the European Communities, within the framework of the established rules and procedures, will be fully associated with political cooperation at all levels.
Dette var et af elementerne i Kommissionens nylige meddelelse (') vedrørende Fællesskabets fremtidige foranstaltninger til fremme af den sociale integrering af handicappede, som var emnet for en beslutning, der blev vedtaget i Rådet den 8. december 1981.
The Ten believe that these measures will enhance their ability to achieve common positions and joint action on foreign-policy matters, and will improve coordination between the foreign policy of the Ten and their policy on matters which fall within Community competence, such as international trade.

Mr Hurd. — I have again had difficulty in following the honourable gentleman's line of thought.
Spørgsmål nr. 27 af von Alemann
Political cooperation is a voluntary business.
Om .Den franske befolknings udtalelser i forbindelse med opførelsen af atomkraftværker.
What will happen when there are eleven, twelve, thirteen or more Member States?
Har Kommissionen, når henses til den modvillige indstilling hos den belgiske og den luxembourgske befolkning, der bor i nærheden, allerede forudset konsekvenserne af en sådan situation, især på baggrund af direktivet om vurderingen af visse offentlige og private byggeriers indvirkning på miljøet?
Sometimes the Community finds, as it did in the case of Iran last year, that the distinction simply ceases to exist, and we have to take decisions without arguing too closely whether they are taken under political cooperation or under the Community.
— Allerede i 1976 foreslog Kommissionen Rådet at etablere et generelt system på fællesskabsniveau til gensidige drøftelser vedrørende placeringen af kraftværker (').
Mr Hurd. — Well, certainly the honourable Member is right: there are difficulties and the meetings go on late at night.
