Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 7 af sir James Scott-Hopkins (H-954/85):
President. — Question No 7 by Sir James Scott-Hopkins (H-954/85):
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 8 af Castle (H-995/85):
Subject: Tree planting and road improvement reached a record of 15.8%.
Vil Kommissionen sikre, at den i 1986-bevillingerne til ESF vil sørge for, at der i rimeligt omfang stilles midler til rådighed for de ordninger, der udarbejdes af frivillige organisationer, særlig i forbindelse med handicappede?
Data is not yet avail able for the wheat trade which shows European Com munity performance in 1985-1986 on individual markets in relation to other suppliers.
Kommissionen mener, at en plan for beplantning og andre anlægsarbejder bør indgå som vigtig del af ethvert større vej eller byggeprojekt, men hvad gør den for at sikre, at alle sådan ne vejprojekter, der modtager støtte over EFRU, omfatter planer for hensigtsmæssige miljøforanstaltninger?
The Commission agrees that a programme of tree planting and other landscaping measures should be an essential part of any major road improve ment or building work and what is it doing to try to ensure that all such road work schemes sup ported by ERDF resources include plans for appropriate action on the environmental front?
Pfeiffer, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Der fin des endnu ikke noget særligt fællesskabsprogram for plantning af træer og andre landskabsskabende foran staltninger.
Mr Pfeiffer, Member of the Commission. — (DE) There is not so far any specific Community pro gramme for tree planting and other landscaping mea sures.
Kommissionen er dog klar over, at sådan ne foranstaltninger kunne spille en vigtig rolle i for bedringen eller anlægningen af veje.
But the Commission is aware that measures of this kind can play an important part in road improve ment or building works.
Her må man dog iagttage en række aspekter på vidt forskellige områder, f.eks. mindelske af miljøforureningen, bevarelse af karakeristiske landskaber eller andre ting af interesse, som vedrører vedligeholdelse af veje og vejsikkerheden.
With regard to the second part of the question as to the impact of the BICEF programme on CAP expenditure; in order to achieve bouyant European Com munity exports in the current marketing year, it has been necessary to increase export refunds to take into account in particular the lower US dollar/ECU parity and the BICEP programme.
Jeg vil gerne udtrykkeligt understrege, at i vurderingen af de foranstaltninger, som kan opnå støtte fra den europæiske regionalfond, må også miljøforhold tages grundigt i betragtning.
On wheat, these refunds in early April 1986 were 91 ECU per tonne, whereas in April 1985 they were around 35 ECU per tonne.
Skønt kravet om plantning af træer ved vejene ikke er nogen målsætning for regionalpolitikken, er Kommissionen rede til at tage miljøbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger i betragtning i for bindelse med støtte fra den europæiske regionaludviklingsfond, f.eks. beplantning af træer og forhold som kræver investeringer til infrastruktur.
It is not possible to identify what part of this increase is due exclusively to the BICEP programme, but it is estimated that due to the BICEP programme and the response to it of other suppliers, wheat prices in the Mediterranean region are some 15 to 20 dollars a tonne lower than elsewhere. Each one ECU per tonne increase in the wheat-export refund to all destinations costs the Community budget some 15 million ECU over a full year.
Marin, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (ES) De spørger, om Kommissionen for 1986 kan sikre de nødvendige midler til fortsættelse af den europæiske socialfonds politik for uddannelse af handicappede.
A number of aspects pertaining to widely varying fields have to be taken into account, though, such as the reduction of environmental pollution, the preservation of characteristic landscapes or other considerations which affect the maintenance of roads and road safety.
For det første vil jeg gerne fremhæve, at tildelingen af bevillinger til den europæiske socialfond sker på grundlag af udvælgelseskriterier, som fastlægges i for bindelse med de retningslinjer, som Kommissionen hvert år forelægger, og som er genstand for revision.
Mrs Castle (S). — I appreciate the Commission is trying to be helpful, but where a reply contains such lengthy detailed material, would it not be better to circulate in the official report and thus give people on the list with questions some hope they might be called!
Og svaret må helt ærligt være et nej.
Mr Sutherland. — I agree with Mrs Castle.
Dette er ikke tilstrækkeligt til intensiv undervisning af handicappede.
If the questions were couched in terms which would enable them to be answered in that way and if the questioners agreed to it, it would be possible.
Desværre er Fællesskabets midler ikke tilstrækkelige, og jeg kan kun så retfærdigt som muligt fordele disse midler.
Otherwise the Com mission will have to do its duty and answer the ques tions as put.
Sir James Scott-Hopkins (ED). — (EN) Måske vil Kommissionen kunne forelægge et træplantningsprogram. som der er stærkt brug for inden for Fællesskabet.
Mr Welsh (ED). — I can only gasp at the Commissioner's command of facts in answer to a supplementary question of which, of course, he can have had no prior knowledge.
Er kommissæren ikke enig i, at på grund afblæst på mange veje og motorveje, især de nye, og på grund af erosion, når veje anlægges ved skråninger, ville beplantning af træer være en positiv foranstaltning, ikke blot for dem, som benytter motorvejen, men også for landskabet og for dem, som bor og arbejder her?
Could I ask him whether it remains the policy of the Commission to reduce public spend ing on agriculture, just as, as the question states, it is the policy of the American Government to do so?
Vil Kommissionen gøre alt for at fremme be plantningen af træer på de steder, hvor der sker en sådan udvikling, både i by og på land?
How would he advise us to respond to American criticism that whereas the American farm policy is to cut farm incomes and to sell off surpluses, our farm policy appears to be to sustain farm incomes and create even more surpluses?
Castle (S). — (EN) Er det ikke en kendsgerning, at der er en sådan mangel på midler inden for socialfonden, at Kommissionen er ude af stand til at opfylde de forpligtelser, den så højtideligt har indgået?
Sir James Scott-Hopkins (ED). — Perhaps the Com missioner will be able to come forward with a treeplanting programme, which is vitally needed in the Community.
Kan Kommissionen sige, hvor mange af de forpligtelser, den har påtaget sig, vil blive opfyldt i 1986, og hvor mange nye ansøgninger, den vil kunne imødekomme i år?
Would he not agree also that because of the wind factor on a lot of roads and motorways — the new ones particularly — and also the erosion factor i.e. where they are cut through embankments, the planting of trees is very beneficial not only to the per son who is using the motorway but also to the sur rounding countryside and those who are dealing with it and living in it.
Kan han give forsikring om, at alle forpligtelser over for frivillige organisationer, især dem som be skæftiger sig med handicappede, vil blive opfyldt i år, og at disse grupper vil få en rimelig andel af betalingerne i henhold til de nye bestemmelser?
So, will he please do everything he can to improve the amount of tree planting where developments are taking place, either urban or indeed rural as well.
Pfeiffer. — (DE) Jeg henviser endnu engang til, at der for tiden ikke findes noget specifikt program for be plantning af træer, men at vi i vore fortsatte overvejelser over regionale foranstaltninger i forbindelse med miljøbeskyttelse også vil tage Deres forslag vedrørende landskaber m.v. i betragtning, og at vi også vil indpasse dem i programmerne, så vidt dette er muligt.
Mr Pfeiffer. — (DE) I must point out once again that we have at present no specific programme for tree planting, but that in our regular assessments of
Hvornår vil Powys County Council blive informeret om Kommissionens afgørelse om på ny at opføre denne county som prioriteret område, så det kan få støtte fra socialfonden?
It is currently examining the possibilities open to us in this area.
Det der sker er, at der er tale om en meget ømtålelig klausul, en udelukkelsesklausul, som allerede findes, men som bør være strengere.
Mr Marin. — (ES) The answer will also have to be very precise, Mrs Castle.
For man må naturligvis respektere visse erhvervede rettigheder for visse igangværende projekter.
Currently, I have 140 million ECU available for professional training for the disabled.
Under alle omstændigheder er situationen for socialfonden meget vanskelig at hændtere; for som De meget rigtigt oplyser, har vi i år modtaget 7500 projekter, og vi vil kun kunne finansiere 2500.
These 140 million ECU can be spent as soon as the Social Fund receives the corrected budget allowing us to pay off the weight of the past, in other words, those commitments which we must pay and which have not yet been paid due to a lack of payment credits.
Dette betyder, at vi har måttet forbigå 5000.
If this happens, we can pay out this amount.
Det er natur ligvis meget mere praktisk for de nationale myndigheder, at det er Kommissionen der bestemmer, hvem der skal nyde godt af socialfonden; men det er et utaknemmeligt arbejde, som man dog må forstå, at Kommissionen under alle omstændigheder fortsat vil udføre.
If not, because the corrected budget is not adopted, then clearly we shall have to apply the linear reduction provided for in the Rules of the Fund, which would place the Fund in a difficult situation, not only regard ing training for the disabled, but total bankruptcy.
Man bør søge at finde frem til en juridisk form, som umuliggør sådant bedrageri, og det ville være fornuftigt, om udbuddet i højere grad svarede til efter spørgslen, da de nationale myndigheder ellers må in tervenere.
Will the Commission guarantee that in the allocation of the ESF during 1986 it will provide a fair proportion of the funds available for schemes put forward by voluntary organizations, particularly those relating to the disabled?
De finder det meget mere praktisk, at det er den kommissær, der er ansvarlig for socialfonden, det skal påhvile det utaknemmelige hverv at meddele, hvem der ikke kan blive taget i betragtning, f.eks. det county, der blev nævnt før. Det er mere praktisk, at Kommissionen oplyser dette, end at det er den pægældende nationale myndighed.
Mr Morris (S). — In the hope of seeing an injustice put right, would the Commissioner inform me of what action he has taken, or intends taking, in response to correspondence from Powys County Council and from myself to correct the mistake made as a consequence of the British Department of Employment's sup plying him with the inadequate and unreliable information which has resulted in Powys County Council area losing its priority status and therefore being debarred from applying for money under the provisions of the Social Fund.
Man må kunne forstå, at dette er normalt inden for visse fællesskabs områder, men vi bør også påtage os dette ansvar.
When is it likely that Powys County Council will be informed of his decision to reinstate that county as a priority area and so benefit from the Social Fund?
Marin. — (ES) Jeg er bange for, at mit svar slet ikke har været tilfredsstillende, hvilket jeg udmærket for står.
Mr Marin, Vice-President of the Commission. — (ES) You are asking me if the Commission is currently in a position to guarantee the resources required by the 1986 European Social Fund in order to con tinue its policy of support for training for the disabled.
Men den kendsgerning, at Deres county ikke længere betragtes som mest prioriteret område i hen hold til socialfondsforordningen, til trods for, som De siger, at den har økonomiske vanskeligheder — og jeg er ganske overbevist om, at den har økonomiske van skeligheder — skyldes, skønt De måske ikke tror mig, ikke at der findes andre counties, men derimod andre områder og egne i Fællesskabet, som er fattigere og har flere vanskeligheder end Deres counties.
Firstly, I must point out that the allocation of European Social Fund resources or credits is decided on the basis of selection criteria contained in the guidelines which the Commission presents every year, and which have to be reviewed.
Og da jeg ønsker at foretage en retfærdig, ligelig og fornuftig fordeling af socialfondens sparsomme midler, er det klart, at jeg foretrækker at støtte de områder, som har mest behov herfor.
Indeed, however, one of the questions which has concerned us most over the last few months has been, despite the particular problems suffered by the Social Fund, of which all are perfectly aware, the allocation, at least under the title of pro jects 'particularly dependent on assistance from the Fund in order to be inplementcd', of finance for activities concerned with training disabled people.
Det er det, jeg forstår ved Fælles skabets økonomiske og sociale kohæsion, hvilket nødvendigvis kræver visse ofre, hvis solidariteten in den for Fællesskabet skal bibeholdes.
Training for the disabled amounts, within the total of financial funds available for this year, to 140 million ECU.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 9 af Pasty (H961/85):
The question is whether this is enough, and to be quite frank, I must reply that it is not.
Om: Borgernes Europa
This sum is not in fact sufficient to provide intensive training for the disabled.
Hvilken konkret støtte agter Kommissionen at yde til det initiativ, de unge praktikanter i dens tjenestegrene har taget til fordel for borgernes Europa, for at forhindre, at denne aktion blot bliver en reklamekampagne uden opfølgning?
Unfortunately Community resources are not enough, and all I can do from my position is to distribute what resources are available as equitably as possible.
Ripa di Meana, medlem af Kommissionen. — (IT) Hvert år siden 1960 har Kommissionen taget imod i hundredevis afunge praktikanter især fra fællesskabs landene, men også fra mange tredjelande, og den har tilbudt dem de muligheder, jeg nu vil nævne.
Mr Marin. — (ES) I am afraid my answer is not going to be in the least satisfactory, and I quite understand why; but the fact that your county was, so to speak, struck off the list of high priority zones of the Social Fund despite, as you claim, suffering from economic difficulties is because, although you may not believe it, there are not other counties but other regions and provinces of different zones in the Community which are still poorer and have even greater problems than your counties.
Vi ved også, at socialfonden i år er blevet overskredet med ca. 300%. Med andre ord var der 300% flere ansøgninger, end der kunne imødekommes.
We also know that the Social Fund was oversubscribed by something like 300% this year.
Mener hr. Marin ikke, at det er på tide at ophøre med at bedrage fællesskabsborgerne, og at tiden er inde til at ændre kriterierne for socialfonden, således at den bliver i større overensstemmelse med de midler, der er til rådighed?
Does not Commissioner Marin feel that it is time to stop defrauding the citizens of the Community in this way, and that the time has come when the criteria for the Social Fund should be adjusted in such a way that they reflect more accurately its resources?
Hvornår agter Kom missionen at foretage en undersøgelse og ændre kriterierne i overensstemmelse hermed?
When does he plan to put such a review in hand and implement it?
Marin. — (ES) Man må søge at komme bedrageriet til livs, ikke blot inden for socialfonden, men på alle
Mrs Castle (S). — Is it not a fact that the Social Fund is so starved of resources that the Commission is unable to meet the commitments into which it has entered so solemnly?
Først at få indblik i den europæiske integrationsproces med dens langsomhed og mangler.
Will the Commission tell us what proportion of the past commitments that the Commission has entered into will be honoured in 1986, and what pro portion of the new qualifying bids this year it will be able to meet?
For det andet giver man dem mulighed for at komplettere deres teoretiske viden fra universiteterne gennem et prak-
Will he give an assurance that all the commitments entered into in respect of voluntary organizations, particularly those dealing with the handicapped, will be honoured this year and that these groups will be given a fair proportion of the payments under the new schemes.
Ripa di Meana tisk arbejde i Det europæiske Fællesskabs tjenestegrene.
No 2-340/89 works, with all its slowness and shortcomings as well.
Overvejer Kommissionen desuden at træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger til at modtage flere prak tikanter i sine tjenestegrene? De nævnte et tal på 500 om året.
Secondly, the trainees are enabled to complete, through practical experience in the departments of the European Community, their theoretical knowledge gained at the university.
Vil man kunne modtage endnu flere?
The third aspect of this experience is that it can take place in a clearly determined sector of the Community.
Jeg kan fortælle Dem, at Kommissionen, som modtager cirka 500 praktikanter om året — jeg bør præcisere, at 440 bliver aflønnet, det vil sige, de har fået et stipendium, medens 60 i stedet modtages gratis — organiserer deres ophold i to perioder, som hver varer cirka fem måneder.
The Commission, which accepts about 500 trainees each year — to be precise, 440 are paid — in other words, they receive a grant — and 60 are accepted free — organises their stay in two periods each lasting about five months.
Derfor vil det samlede antal praktikanter, som Kommissionen har taget imod ved udgangen af 1987 — programmet blev, som jeg alle rede har sagt, iværksat i 1960 — nå op på ti tusind fra 50 forskellige lande fra hele verden, hvilket jeg synes er et betydeligt antal.
Thus in all, up to the end of 1987 — and the programme, as I have already said, started in 1960 — the number of trainees accepted by the Commission will reach ten thousand — which I think is considerable — and they will have come from 50 countries all over the world.
Ripa Di Meana. — (IT) Jeg skal gerne, hr. Pasty, give Dem oplysninger om praktikantgruppernes sammen sætning efter national oprindelse, idet jeg naturligvis henviser til de senest udarbejdede tal, der kun vedrører 1985 og ikke indeholder en opgørelse for 1986.
Mr Marin. — (ES) I believe that it is time to stop being fraudulent not only with regard to the Social Fund, but in all areas of life.
Af praktikanterne var i alt 229 tyske; der var 240 franskmænd, 235 italienere, 210 belgiere, 129 hollændere, 16 luxembourgere, 174 briter, 48 danskere, 92 irlændere, 174 grækere, og for så vidt de lande angår, der dengang stadig kun var ansøgere, 39 spaniere og 29 portugisere plus 69 praktikanter fra tredjelande.
The Commission is in fact considering a legal formula for the coming years by means of which if the Member States and the private operators working with the Social Fund fail to provide sufficient evidence of real expenditure, the Commission will have the option of immediately suspending payment.
Jeg har nu sammenfattet sidste års situation, hvor tal lene, vi råder over, viser, at der i alt var 538 praktikanter. kanter.
This is a very delicate clause, being a block ing mechanism, which already exists but needs to be toughened up.
Hvad Deres andet spørgsmål angår, kan jeg svare Dem, at det er min forhåbning, at vi kan opnå en forøgelse af det samlede antal praktikanter, men at det naturligvis er indlysende, at de budgetovervejelser, spiller en rolle, som De udmærket kender, og som også jeg kender, lider under og må leve med.
It is, of course, far more convenient for the national authorities for the Commission to have to decide who can come under the Social Fund and who cannot, but this is a thankless task which has to be done, and which the Commission will continue to do.
Kommissionen, som i år arrangerede praktikanternes fest uden på nogen måde — og det er et princip — at blande sig i deres valg, anser disse initiativer og dem, der eventuelt følger i fremtiden, for at være et vigtigt og ingenlunde banalt svar på den samlede strategi, der sigter mod at give så mange beviser som muligt på, at Det europæiske Fællesskab ikke kun er bestemte økonomiske og sociale sektorers anliggende, men at det også er borgernes, mændenes og kvindernes Europa, og at det følgelig vil være i stand til at give svar på deres bekymringer og på deres forventninger. ger.
This year a group of the Commission's trainees has promoted a series of initiatives, which I think must be those to which you allude in your question, and which I consider to be of great significance: they dedicated their celebrations, for example, to the People's Europe; they drew up and sent to the Heads of State and Government an open letter which expresses — I quote — 'disappointment at the failure of recent moves to promote European Union'; finally, they expressed their intention of setting up a fund to establish a scholarship for a young person intending to study the obstacles in the way of achieving European Union.
Cryer (S). — (EN) Det er virkelig noget fortærsket pro-EF-vrøvl, som Kommissionen og dens kammersjukkere lukker ud.
To conclude, I believe that we must avoid any type of fraud, not only in the Social Fund, but in all aspects of the Community.
Får alle disse 10.000 stagiaires lejlighed til at se alle de arbejdsløse, som Fællesmarkedet har skabt —- 15 millioner arbejdsløse?
We must examine a legal model which renders such fraud impossible, and it would be reasonable to bring demand more into line with sup ply, although at this stage, action is required of the national authorities.
Bliver de taget ud til de forladte områder, hvor stålarbejderne engang arbejdede og skabte tusinder af jobs, som nu er gået tabt på grund af det fælles marked og med lemsstaternes politik?
The national authorities feel much more comfortable with the Commission being charged with the thankless duty of telling applicants which of them cannot be helped, such as in the case of the county I was asked about earlier.
Bliver de taget med ud til de kulminer, som engang var i drift?
It is more con venient for me, rather than your national authority, to tell you this.
Får de at vide, hvor mange millioner pund den fælles landbrugspolitik yder til landbrugerne?
This is quite understandable, Community policy contains certain advantages but we must also accept this responsibility.
Er disse stagiaires ikke blot billig propaganda, hvormed man søger at indskærpe tanken om det fælles marked, skønt dette fælles marked i virkeligheden er en grundlæggende fejltagelse, uansat hvilke vurderinger man lægger til grund?
The Commission, which supported the trainees' celebrations without — as a matter of principle — inter fering in any way in their decisions, considers these initiatives and any others that may follow in the future to be an answer, neither negligible nor trivial, to its own overall strategy, that aims to provide the maximum possible amount of proof that the Europe of the Community is not simply the concern of certain economic and social sectors but is also the People's Europe, the Europe of men and women, and that it will, therefore, be able to respond to their worries and their hopes.
Derfor, hr. Pasty, ville det ikke være passende, om Kommissionen udviklede specifikke initiativer i den retning. De nævner i Deres spørgsmål.
What specific support does the Commission intend to give to the initiative in favour of a People's Europe organized by the young trainess in its ser vices, to ensure that their action is more than just an ephemeral publicity operation?
