Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
President. — The next item is the second part of Question Time (Doc. Β 2-627/85)
Det har ikke været drøftet i Kommissionen, men jeg tror, der er betydelige praktiske problemer forbundet hermed.
Mr Sutherland. — First of all, I should say that the European Patent Office is neither an institution of the European Communities nor does a formal link exist with it, except that the Commission has observer status in the office's administrative council.
ECU-værdien er ikke fastsat i forhold til de nationale valutaer og svinger inden for fastsatte grænser, som kan revideres.
The European Patent Office itself is composed of the representatives of the eleven contracting States.
Et forsøg på at prisstemple frimærker både med den nationale valuta og med det tilsvarende ECU-beløb ville betyde konstante ændringer.
However, the Com­mission maintains contact with the Office on matters of mutual interest and is indeed proceeding and we believe that we should proceed with a more uniform European patent code.
Det ville ganske enkelt ikke være gennem førligt.
There are discussions taking· place at present in that area.
Christodoulou (PPE). - (GR) Jeg takker Dem, hr. kommissionsmedlem, for Deres svar, som dog har forbavset mig.
Question No 1, by Mr von Wogau, for whom Mr Christodoulou is deputizing (H-578/84):
Jeg tror ikke, at det er nødvendigt, men jeg vil bestemt se på det endnu engang.
President. — Since their authors are absent, Questions Nos 2, 3 and 4 will receive written replies1.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 10 af Boot (H173/85) frimærkerne i Fællesska-
Question No 5 by Mr Fitzgerald (H-764/84):
Om : Angivelse af ECU-værdien bets medlemsstater.
Subject: The homeless
I december 1982 holdt Kommissionen et orienterende møde med repræsentanter for medlemsstaternes postvæsner for at gennemgå de vanskeligheder, som hindrer indførelse af indlandstakster for breve og postkort inden for Fællesskabet. Der har været visse vanskeligheder ved gennemførelsen af en tilnærmelse af opfattelserne medlemsstaterne imellem.
Is it correct that, owing to a protest against salary differentials between the European Patent Office's places of work in Munich and the Hague, no European or Dutch applications for patents are currently being processed, and what possibilities are open to the Commission to ensure that the European Patent Office complies with its respon­sibilities in full?
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
On 25 October last the European Parliament adopted a report on 'Specific Community Action to combat poverty', which included two amend­ments on the homeless.
Sutherland et europæisk frimærke. Man kunne forestille sig udførelsen af et europæisk frimærke, hvis der kunne indføres ensartede posttakster.
In view of the fact that over 300 lives in Europe have so fare been lost as a result of the severe cold, including the old and homeless, will the Commission now indicate as a matter of extreme urgency whether or not it intends to examine the extent of the problem with a view to tackling this tragic situation?
Sutherland. — (EN) I princippet og personligt — men jeg er sikker på, at jeg også taler på alle mine kollegers vegne i Kommissionen — er jeg for alt, der kan højne forståelsen for Europas vigtighed og Europas udvik ling. De vanskeligheder, det volder at pålægge melemsstaterne en sådan ordning i praksis, stiller sig imidlertid i vejen for udviklingen af et fælles euro pæisk frimærke.
Mr Sutherland, Member of the Commission. — As the question indicates, during the period of the industrial action from 15 December 1984 to 11 February 1985, the administrative handling of both European patent applications and the national patent applications trans­mitted to the European Patent Office for search on the state-of-the-art were seriously affected.
Sir James Scott-Hopkins (ED). — (EN) Er Kommissionen enig i, at langt det bedste sted at begynde ville være at indføre en standardtakst mellem de europæiske lande f.eks. for breve fra Det forenede Kongerige til Frankrig eller fra Frankrig til Vesttyskland?
Measures were taken, however, to avoid the risk of loss of rights by applicants and to minimize the effects of the action on the overall activity of the Hague Off­ice when the industrial action ended in February.
Ville det ikke være en god idé at begynde på det plan og få en harmoniseret posttakst, ikke nødvendigvis ved at anvende ECUen, men ved at få en tilnærmelse af tak sterne?
Staff then worked overtime to clear the backlog of dossiers waiting for processing.
For øjeblikket varierer posttaksterne meget i medlemsstaterne. Ville dette ikke være et udgangspunkt? punkt?
This was achieved at the end of April, and the Hague Office has been functioning nor­mally since then.
Naturligvis er vanskeligheden ved enhver harmonisering, at det for nogen vil betyde et finansielt tab.
The European Patent Office has earned a good repu­tation since it began granting European patents in 1978.
Det er de vanskeligheder, vi har haft i forbindelse med en række medlemsstater, som har hindret udviklingen af en dialog, skønt den stadig fortsætter.
The number of European patent applications filed has increased from 3 599 in 1978 to 33 092 in 1984.
Hr. kommissær, er De villig til på et eller andet tids punkt at fortælle os, hvor vanskelighederne virkelig ligger, således at vi kan udøve pres på nationalt niveau?
While we all regret the disruptions caused by industrial action, there are no grounds for criticizing the European Patent Office for the way it handled the resulting difficulties and the Commission does not propose, therefore, making any representations on the matter.
Sutherland. — (EN) I henhold til Parlamentets be slutning af 14. oktober 1982 har Kommissionen undersøgt to spørgsmål. Det ene var det europæiske fri mærke, som skulle have været et frimærke, der havde gyldighed i Fællesskabet og kunne anvendes af alle medlemsstaterne i Fællesskabet.
The Commission has already started this programme and with regard to the second matter, the initiation of research into the causes of plight, it is at present mak­ing arrangements for the organizations working with and for the homeless to get together to examine the problem at a seminar to be held in Ireland in the sum­mer and to make concrete proposals for concerted international action.
Hammerich (ARC). — Vil Kommissionen oplyse, hvilken rationel og fornuftig grund der skulle være til nu at indføre ECU på frimærker?
Mr Christodoulou (PPE). — (GR) I should like to thank the Commissioner for the information he has cf. Annex.
Sutherland ne og postvæserne i de enkelte medlemsstater af den rette fremgangsmåde.
Sutherland
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 11, 12 og 13 vil blive besvaret skriftligt, da spørgerne ikke er til stede (').
In the matter of the homeless, I myself informed the Social Affairs Committee that a seminar was being organized on behalf of the Commission by the national campaign for the homeless on the 13 to 15 September 1985 in Cork.
Jeg ønsker at benytte lejligheden til at gøre det klart, at hvor det drejer sig om afskedigelse, er Kommissionen af den opfattelse, at afskedigelse af en ar bejdstager på grund af sider af hans eller hendes privatliv principielt er uacceptabel.
No doubt he will appreciate that the tragic loss of life of so many homeless during the winter months is a situation which must deeply concern the Member States of the Community.
Jeg mener, det var det standpunkt, min forgænger indtog, og jeg gentager det her.
Not only that but the alarming growth of homelessness among the young must be extremely disturbing for all of us.
Jeg har tydeligt understreget, at Kommissionens standpunkt er uændret.
I therefore welcome the Commission's participation in the conference in my own city of Cork.
Hvorfor anser Kommissionen det ikke for muligt at træffe for anstaltninger i forbindelse med diskriminering af homoseksuelle, i betragtning af, at den allerede har givet udtryk for, at det er uacceptabelt, at seksuelle tilbøjeligheder kan være årsag til afskedigelse, og at ansættelses- og arbejdsbetingelserne ud sætter homofile for forskelsbehandling, da begge ting er uforenelige med traktaten?
Mr Sutherland. — I would not like to answer the question directly without a very specific question being raised in regard to the legislation in question and with out detailed consideration of it. Therefore, I cannot reply specifically to the query which has been raised.
Sutherland, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Jeg kan henvise det ærede medlem til det standpunkt, som Kommissionen indtog under forhandlingen i Parlamentet den 13. marts 1984.
Suffice it to say that the problem of the homeless generally is one which is of great concern to the Com mission, and the Commission will continue to investigate and research it.
Finder Kommissionen, at dette er en rigtig handle måde, eller finder Kommissionen den urigtig?
President. — Since their authors are absent, Questions Nos 6 and 7 will receive written replies1.
Kommissionen opretholder det standpunkt, at der ikke er nogen særlig bestemmelse i traktaten, som dækker spørgsmålet om diskriminering på arbejds pladsen på grund af seksuelle tilbøjeligheder, og at det mest hensigtsmæssige forum for behandling af dette spørgsmål følgelig ville være Europarådet og Den europæiske Menneskerettighedskonvention.
Will the Commissioner now indicate whether the Commission has considered opening a new and separate budgetary line to accommodate this growing problem within our Community?
Kommissionen henviser endvidere til sine svar på forespørgsler nr. 206/85, 2025/84, H-686/84, H-413/84 og 2133/83.
Could I further ask him if there is a Commission input into the conference being organized by the International Federation for Housing and Planning in Hungary taking place also, I under stand, this autumn?
Det gentager jeg.
Question No 8, by Mr Ford (H-107/85):
Formanden. — Mundtlig forespørgsel nr. 15 af Mac-Sharry (H-552/84):
Subject: Replies to questions for written answer
Om : Nedskæringer inden for kornsektoren
Can the Commission detail the average time in days to reply to questions put down for written answer on a year basis for the first give years?
Vil Kommissionen på baggrund af beretninger, der er frem kommet i pressen om eventuel indførelse af kvoter eller medansvarsforanstaltningcr for kornproducenter, og forslaget om, at der eventuelt vil blive foretaget nedskæringer i priserne eller produktionen, oplyse, om der vil blive taget hensyn til områ der som Irland, der er ugunstigere stillet på grund af klimaet, og som ikke er nået op på deres maksimale landbrugsproduktion? tion?
Mr Sutherland. — With regard to the first part of the supplementary question, the position as far as the Commission is concerned is that in the light of the research which has been initiated following the con ference which will be held from 13 to 15 September 1985, the Commission will reconsider the position in the context of the new anti-poverty programme and any possible other recourse that might be had by the homeless to the funds of the Community.
Van den Heuvel (S). — (NL) Jeg er en anelse forbavset over dette kommissionsmedlems svar.
Mr Varfis, Member of the Commission. — (GR) I would start by pointing out that the question is clearly aimed at obtaining statistical information.
Hans for gænger har givet udtryk for en temmelig positiv hold ning i forbindelse med Squarcialupi-betænkningen.
On the other hand, it does reflect the genuine interest of many Members of Parliament in a matter which is also of particular interest to the Commission itself.
Jeg har her foran mig mødereferatet fra den 13. marts 1984, hvori han udtrykkeligt siger, at han vil gøre alt for så hurtigt som muligt at få vedtaget et direktiv om ordning vedrørende individuelle afskedigelser, og jeg så gerne, at der bliver arbejdet videre med det.
With regard to the latter part of the question relating specifically to the question of a conference in Hungary, I am afraid that I am unable to answer Mr Fitzgerald but I will inquire into the matter and inform him orally as to whether the Commission will be participating in the conference in question.
Nu henviser dette kommisionsmedlem pludselig hele sa gen til Europarådet. Jeg havde forventet, at man kun ne regne med en vis kontinuitet i dette anliggende.
The number of questions involved was about 160 per month.
Endnu en gang, er jeg meget forbavset over den måde. hvorpå dette kommissionsmedlem nu fjerner dette vigtige anliggende fra vort eget ansvarsområde og henviser det til andres ansvarsområde, hvor vi overhovedet ingen indflydelse har.
Every single one of these questions has to go through the same procedure, which is fairly complicated and includes: translation into all the official languages, drafting of a reply, coordination between the departments, approval of the Commission and then translation of the reply into all the languages of the Community.
Jeg ville gerne vide. hvorledes man kan forklare denne pludselige nye fremgangsmåde.
The result of the large increase in the number of questions over the last few months is that the system is
Andriessen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (NL) I grønbogen over perspektiver for det europæiske land brug, som jeg i går præsenterede for Parlamentets landbrugsudvalg og derefter for pressen, behandler man udførligt problematikken omkring afgrøderne og eventuelle forholdsregler med henblik på enten at begrænse overskuddet af afgrøder eller at finde andre afsætningsmuligheder for dem.
Mr Ford (S). — I would like to raise with the Com missioner the issue of homelessness amongst the young, particularly State-created homelessness in the sense that recent changes in UK social security regulations have imposed a restrictive time limit for young people under 25 claiming benefits to stay in any one place when they have been living away from home.
En af de muligheder, der nævnes i denne grønbog, ikke som en politik eller som Kommissionens beslutning, men som en mulig hed, der må fremlægges til debat, er også problematikken omkring medansvar, der i øvrigt ikke er helt fremmed for landbrugspolitikken.
These young homeless people must now move on to another part of the UK after claiming benefits for periods of between 2 and 8 weeks in any one place.
Vi har andre sektorer i landbruget, hvor der allerede længe har været
They are not permitted to return to that area for another six months.
Andriessen anvendt medansvarsafgifter, og hvor producentens medansvar har været praksis.
Is the Commission prepared to see to it that its answers are more precise in future and actually in line with what the questioner had in mind, so that we can establish a genuine dialogue?
indrer Kommissionen, at da den havde foreslået pris nedskæringer for mejerisektoren, måtte den ty til kvoter på grund af uenighed i Rådet?
overloaded and the average time taken to reply to Members' questions has now risen from 60 to 70 days.
Er kommissionsmedlemmet enig i, at resultatet af den nuværende situation i kornsektoren er, at det er højst sand synligt, at Kommissionen må tage sin tilflugt til kornkvoter som et middel til kontrol af overskudsproduktionen af korn, og er han enig med mig i, at Kommissionen snart må indrømme dette, så kornkvoter ikke indføres på den samme forhastede og for virrede måde til skade for Fællesskabets kornavlere, som det var tilfældet med mælkekvoterne?
We shall certainly have to look for and find ways of ensuring that there is no further increase in the delay despite the increase in the number of questions — which it must be said reflects the ever-increasing interest of Members in the Commission's activities. It was in this spirit that I recently wrote to the President of Parliament calling for talks between the responsible departments of the two institutions with a view to finding practical solutions.
Jeg mener ikke, at dette er tidspunktet til at gå nær mere ind på disse problemer, men jeg vil godt sige, at den tanke efter min mening ikke er rigtig, at problematikken og især overskudsproblematikken let kan løses med et medansvarsprincip.
Mr Varfis. — (GR) Madam President, it is difficult for me to answer this question, since I believe the Commission does everything to ensure that its answers — like the questions, of course — are as specific as possible.
Jeg vil endvidere gerne tilføje, at det er Kommissionens hensigt, i betragtning af kornsektorens centrale problematik, allerede tidligt i dette efterår at frem sætte konkrete forslag om tilpasninger inden for kornsektoren, fordi vi mener, at den aktuelle situation gør det tvingende nødvendigt, og at vi ikke kan vente til forhandlingerne om perspektivplanen er af sluttede.
I am aware, moreover, that Parliament's Committee on the Rules of Procedure will shortly be studying the procedures for questions, and, if I am asked, I will naturally be willing to participate in the discussions on the matter.
Andriessen. — (NL) I et forsøg på en objektiv frem stilling af alle muligheder for at gøre noget ved korn sektorens overskudsproblem er der også medtaget et afsnit i grønbogen, hvor der tales om kvoter.
Mr Ford (S). — May I ask Mr Sutherland as an aside if, after he has been able to consider my previous sup plementary question, he would answer my question in writing on the points contained in the current question. tion.
Hertil vil jeg gerne sige, at det oprindelig har været Kom missionens holdning, at kvoter ikke er den mest egne de løsning på dette problem, men at kvoter — lige som inden for mælkesektoren — er uundgåelige, hvis der ikke rettidigt træffes andre forholdsregler.
I would point out, however, that although the written questions differ enormously, many of them — like this one — ask for specific data which could be obtained without the need for someone to table a question to the Commission.
Hvis Kommissionen, som jeg har meddelt, træffer beslut ninger om tilpasning af forordningen, forhåbentlig i oktober måned, må den i hvert fald fremkomme med en endelig bedømmelse af spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt man bør indføre kvoter.
This is perhaps something which might be borne in mind when looking at ways of speeding up Question Time.
Jeg håber, at det vil være muligt at give et benægtende svar på det, for jeg er ikke overbevist om, at indførelse af kvoter er den bedste løsning på problemet.
At any rate, I have noted what Mr Rogalla has said and will pass it on to my colleagues so that we can look into whether there are any Commission replies which were not completely accurate.
MacSharry (RDE). — (EN) Jeg beklager, at kommissæren ikke svarede på den del af mit spørgsmål, der specifikt drejede sig om speciel hensyntagen til Irlands tilfælde.
President. — Question No 9 by Mr Christodoulou (H-105/85):
Andriessen. — (NL) Jeg undskylder, at jeg i mit svar udelod det specifikke irske aspekt i spørgsmålet.
Perhaps I have been unfortunate but it certainly seems to me that many of my questions have taken rather longer than 60 days to answer.
Jeg mener, at det er rigtigt, at man i arbejdet med med ansvarstanken også er opmærksom på særlige pro duktionsforhold i specifikke regioner inden for Fæl lesskabet.
However, I do thank the Commissioner for a much fuller reply than I got to a similar question last month to the Council.
Mere kan jeg ikke sige om det på dette overvejelsesstadium. Det forekommer mig rigtigt, at det aspekt inddrages i overvejelserne.
That said, does the Commissioner realizes that, in order to reduce the amount of time they have to wait for answers, Members are now putting down questions for Question Time with no intention of actually asking them in the House, as has been demonstrated this morning when I think more than half the people with questions down were not in fact present in the Chamber to have them answered?
Sutra (S). — (FR) Jeg vil gerne spørge kommissæren, om han ikke mener, at det er forkert an anvende ordet »overskud«, når det drejer sig om korn, og det af to grunde.
Question Time is now being bogged down because people are having to wait far too long for written answers to written questions.
Medens der er visse produktioner, som ikke har et verdensmarked og afsætningsmuligheder overalt i verden, såsom mælkeprodukter, er det, for så vidt korn angår, klart, at det forfærdelige problem i forbindelse med hungersnøden, der rejser sig for tiden, godtgør, at ordet »overskud« ikke er på sin sin plads.
I hope therefore that Parliament and the Commission will find some way, along with the other Community institutions, of speeding up the process as much as possible so that we can get back to a sensible organization of Question Time instead of using this as a way of cleverly getting quicker answers to written questions.
Med hensyn til tidsplanen er det min hensigt at frem lægge forslag for Kommissionen vedrørende korn i slutningen af september eller begyndelsen af oktober.
Recent findings show that phylloxera is now well established in several areas on the island of Crete — the most southerly region in Greece — and it is thought that the vineyards will succumb com pletely in the very near future.
Jeg håber, at Kommissionen vil være i stand til at træffe afgørelse om dette i oktober måned, således at forslagene allerede kan fremlægges for Rådet i efterår et og spille en rolle i den politik, som vi skal formulere for de følgende år.
Vine goowing for the production of wine grapes, table grapes and raisins plays a major role in the Cretan economy and its future can only be secured by a comprehensive restructuring of the Cretan vineyards in order to rid them of this pest once and for all.
Med hensyn til tidsplanen for perspektivplanen som sådan, altså uafhængigt af kornsektoren, og måske andre sektorer, der fortjener en særskilt behandling, er det min hensigt i slutningen af året at drage konklusioner af den offentlige debat og fremsætte konkrete forslag med hensyn til 1986 og de folgende år.
This is a matter of urgency because of the irreversible destruction that this insect is causing to vines. Replacing the present vines with resistance varieties in conjunction with modernizing production and marketing techniques and maintianing producers' incomes during the period needed to carry out restructuring requires technical and financial facilities beyond regional scope.
Men denne humanitære grund er ikke den eneste : der er også en kommerciel grand. For så vidt angår visse lande i Fællesskabet, betragtet individuelt, og Fælles skabet som helhed, kan man ved at betragte handelsbalancerne konstatere, at der foregår handel med korn i verden, og det er nødvendigt at være repræsenteret på disse markeder.
Mr Varfis. — (GR) I was flad to hear what Mr Ford said, because this really is a much more general matter which concerns both the written and the oral questions and which can only be solved by the means I men tioned before, i.e. through close cooperation between Parliament and the Commission.
Det mener jeg ikke. og jeg ønsker, at ordet »overskud« stryges af ordforrådet, når der er tale om kornproblemer.
Could the Commission state what measures have been considered or determined at Community level to meet the situation on the island of Crete, in particular under the structural provisions of the recently amended legislation governing the wine sector, the Community's new structural policy or in the context of implementing IMPs?
Det er ikke tilfældet med alle land brugsproduktioner, men for korns vedkommende mener mener jeg, at ordet »overskud« burde afskaf-

Mr Andriessen (NL). — The Commission is obviously aware that phylloxera can spread very rapidly, wreak­ing havoc with the vineyards it infests.
