Alavanos (COM). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne stille et til­lægsspørgsmål til hr. Christodoulous spørgsmål an­gående indtægterne fra momsopkrævningen, som vedrører Grækenland specielt.
Mr Stavrou (PPE). — (GR) I think the Commissioner's answer to the question by Mr Christodoulou, though it began with the phrase that it would be precise, was anything but that.
Det er en velkendt sag, at den græske regering har anmodet om en udsættelse af indførelsen af merværdiafgiften fra 1. januar 1986.
Yet, I would like to say that just because no difficult situations are created, it might be quite easy to provide a precise answer.
Formanden. — Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 3 og 4 blive besvaret skriftligt (')■
Mr Alavanos (COM). — (GR) I would like to amplify Mr Christodoulou's question concerning revenue from VAT as it applies to Greece.
Spørgsmål nr. 5 af Van der Lek (H­349/85):
As we know, the Greek Government has asked for an extension of the deferment in implementing VAT, beyond 1 January 1986.
I 1985­86 vil der også kun blive stillet et lille beløb til Networks rådighed (10 000 ECU; der behøves 180 000 ECU, og heraf har Network anmodet om 50%, dvs. 90 000 ECU).
Mr President, with this opportunity I would like to ask the Commissioner, in the hope that we may eventually receive a fuller answer, whether the outstanding sums owed include interest charges.
Følgelig må Network indstille sit arbejde.
I think this is a serious issue for securing the Community's interests.
Christophersen. — Jeg kan godt forstå, at det spørgsmål stilles; jeg må give den oplysning, at den græske regering ikke officielt har meddelt Fællesska­bet, at den ønsker en udsættelse af indførelsen af merværdiafgift i Grækenland, men det er rigtigt — det er både fremgået af artikler i dagspressen og af helt uformelle drøftelser — at den græske regering ikke mener at kunne indføre moms fra 1. januar.
Mr Christophersen. — (DA) I can understand the reasons for this question. The Greek Government has not officially notified the Community that it wants a post ponement of the introduction of VAT in Greece, but it is true — it has been reported by articles in the news papers and it has emerged from strictly informal dis cussions — that the Greek Government does not believe it can introduce VAT from 1st January.
Derfor må der finde en forhandling sted med den græske regering om, hvordan man sikrer, at det ikke far nogen konsekvenser for de beløb, Grækenland skal indbetale til Fællesskabet.
There must therefore be negotiations with the Greek Government to establish how we can ensure that this does not have any consequences for the amount Greece must pay to the Community.
Er dette ensbetydende med, at kvindeorganisationer på europæisk plan ikke modtager nogen finansiel støtte, eller er der andre grupper, der modtager støtte?
In such a case the Member State must submit documentation to support the claim that our adjust ment is incorrect, but there are no overdue amounts outstanding.
I så fald, hvilke grupper og efter hvilke kriterier?
The money is coming in quite normally.
Wolff (L). — (FR) Jeg vil bare spørge kommissæren, om momsen beregnes på årsbasis, eller om der i vir­keligheden er en forskydning på en måned eller et kvartal, for det forekommer mig temmelig vanskeligt i løbet af 1985 at registrere det samlede momsbeløb, medlemsstaterne skylder, da de jo først kender deres momsindtægter med en vis forsinkelse.
Mr Wolff (L). — (FR) I should simply like to ask the Commissioner whether annuality applies in the case of VAT or in fact there is a time-lag of one or three months, since it seems rather difficult to me to record, during 1985, the total amount of VAT due from the Member States, which do not know their VAT volumes until after a certain lapse of time.
Der må utvivlsomt være en vis tidsforskydning.
There is presumably a certain time-lag.
Pfeiffer, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Kommis­sionen er naturligvis klar over nødvendigheden af at yde finansiel støtte til aktioner og også organisatio­ner, der bidrager til at fremme lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder.
Mr MacSharry (RDE). — Arising from the Commissioner's reply — and I understand he is giving what might be described as an answer to a technical problem — when such a problem arises, can he say, waiting for these technical details to be worked out between Member States and the Commission, what would be the total amount outstanding at the end of any given year?
I flere år har den bestræbt sig på også at fremme lige muligheder på denne måde, men i betragtning af de begrænsede finansielle midler er det ikke nogen let opgave.
Also, does the Commission borrow to pay its commitments or does it delay payments of its commit ments pending resolution of the technical problems?
Kommissionen ønsker med sit handlingsprogram at opnå praktiske fremskridt i forbindelse med virke­liggørelsen af lige muligheder.
Mr Christophersen. — (DA) I can of course indicate what differences there are between the amounts the Commission considers are due and the amounts the Member State thinks it should pay. There is nothing to prevent me doing that.
Vi forsøger derfor at
As to whether the Commission borrows in order to meet its commitments, there have
Christophersen. — Fremgangsmåden ved beregnin­gen af den moms, hver medlemsstat skal indbetale hver måned til Fællesskabet, er som følger: i forbin­delse med udarbejdelsen af Kommissionens budget­forslag det foregående år finder der også en foreløbig beregning sted af det følgende regnskabsårs moms­grundlag for hvert medlemsland.
Mr Christophersen. — (DA) The procedure for calculating the VAT each Member State has to pay to the Community each month is as follows: in conjunction with the preparation of the Commission's draft budget in the preceding year the VAT basis for each Member State for the following financial year is also provision ally calculated.
Der er en rådgiven­de komité; den rådgiver Kommissionen, og Kommis­sionen følger normalt disse råd, og på det grundlag vedtages budgettet.
There is an advisory committee which advises the Commission and whose advice the Commission normally follows, and on this basis the budget
anvende de begrænsede midler, der er til rådighed, på en målrettet måde, så at så mange grupper som muligt i Fællesskabet kan realisere specifikke og konkrete projekter — eksempel: initiativer til oprettelse af arbejdspladser for kvinder på lokalt plan.
This amount is destined to support Community action and assist the implementation of the working plan for the encouragement of equal opportunities for women, and extensive use will be made of it to promote measures outlined in this plan.
Denne målrettede og dermed mest effektive anvendelse af budgetmidler er ikke mere mulig, hvis vi regelmæssigt yder finansiel støtte til en eller flere organisationer.
The Commission was concerned in its working plan with outlining practical steps to the achievement of equal opportunities.
Af denne årsag har Kommissionen gjort sig til en regel ikke at anvende de nævnte midler til fremme af en organisations løbende drift.
We are attempting to utilize the limited resources at our disposal in such a way as to allow as many groups as possible in the Community to implement specific and concrete projects, for example, initiatives destined to provide jobs for women at local level.
I forbindelse med European Network of Women har Kommissionen allerede for anden gang gjort en und tagelse fra denne regel.
is adopted. When the following financial year has elapsed, a final assessment is made of the actual VAT basis in the financial year in question.
Ved sin oprettelse i 1983 modtog Network det første tilskud. Også til det andet år af dets virksomhed har vi ydet en anselig støtte fra vort budget.
If the actual VAT basis diverges from what had been provisionally estimated for the financial year, an adjustment is made, in whatever direction applies, of the VAT paid by the Member State.
Pfeiffer. — (DE) Jeg må endnu en gang understrege, at Kommissionen med denne budgetpost ønsker at fremme lige muligheder og ikke bestemte organisationer.
This means that, for 1986, the VAT collection basis is the indication of the VAT basis given in the Commission's preliminary draft budget which was presented in the summer of this year, and the basis is applied by the procedure I have just described.
Vedrærende det spørgsmål, som det ærede med lem med rette stiller, tillader jeg mig at bemærke, at Kommissionen naturligvis arbejder sammen med kvindegrupperne generelt.
In 1987 we shall undertake a final assessment of what the actual VAT basis was in the Member States.
Kommissionen nedsatte i 1981 et rådgivende udvalg om lige muligheder, hvor til der kommer to repræsentanter fra medlemsstater ne, de såkaldte ligestillingsudvalg.
If the two figures do not agree, we make repayments where our estimate was too high and the Community receives supplementary payments if our estimate was too low.
De ser altså, at dette tilbud på ingen måde vidner om manglende interesse fra Kommissionens side for det vigtige arbejde i så mange grupper, der arbejder på området lige muligheder.
President. — As their authors are not present, Questions Nos 3 and 4 will be answered in writing '.
På denne baggrund bliver det efter min mening også tydeligt, at der ikke kan drages nogen sammenligning med de regelmæssige budgetbidrag til f.eks. forbrugerorganisationer.
This specific and, by implication, most effective use of budgetary provisions is no Jonger possible if we are giving financial aid to one or more organizations on a regular basis.
Vi har f.eks. ikke her en budgetpost, der specielt er bestemt til at støtte organisationer løbende, men et beløb, hvormed vi ønsker at opnå størst mulige fremskridt i forbindelse med lige muligheder for mænd og kvinder. der.
This has lead the Commission to establish the rule that the above-mentioned provisions would not be used to support the day-to-day running of a business.
Wijsenbeek (L). — (NL) Mit spørgsmål er snarere ret tet til Dem, hr. formand, end til kommissæren.
Question No 5, by Mr Van der Lek (H-349/85):
Spørgetidsproceduren er her klart ved at udarte.
Subject: European Network of Women
Først oplæser kommissæren en tale på adskillige sider, og dernæst kommer der et svar fra hr. Van der Lek, som bestemt heller ikke er af de korteste.
The Commission has already made an exception to this rule on two occasions in the case of the European Network of Women.
Anser kommissæren dette for at være i overensstemmelse med be stemmelserne om spørgsmål og svar i spørgetiden, og kommer vi således nogen sinde frem til spørgsmål 20?
When it wad founded in 1983 the Network received an initial subsidy. In 1984 we ear marked in the budget a substantial amount of money to support this organization.
Formanden. — Hvis vi har flere indlæg af denne slags, vil vi sandsynligvis ikke.
When it requested further financial aid in 1985 we were once again prepared to grant a fixed amount of aid, in the face of the many demands on an already overstrained budget, but were unable to provide more than 10 000 ECUs.
Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 6 blive besvaret skriftligt (·)-
The amount to be made available for 1985-86 (10 000 ECU, whereas the network requested 90 000 ECU, 50% of its total requirement of 180 000 ECU) is so small that the Network will have to cease its activities.
Hvad endelig angår spørgsmålet om, hvilke grupper og organisationer der har modtaget midler fra Kom missionen fra den nævnte budgetpost med henblik på lige muligheder, tillader jeg mig at henvise til, at Kommissionen på forespørgsel har sendt denne information til formanden for udvalget om kvinders ret tigheder.
Can the Commission explain why women are treated differently from other large social groups, such as consumers, and why a request from a body coordinating several hundred grass-roots movements is treated in exactly the same way as requests from individual groups?
Jeg måtte her oplæse en lang liste, der sikkert ville sprænge rammerne for mit svar.
Does this mean that no financial support is given to women's organizations at European level or are other groups supported?
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvilke drøftelser der har været ført mellem de Ti's sundhedsministre om et program til udryddelse af smitsomme sygdomme som røde hunde og tuberkulose?
Finally, in reply to the last part of the question, con cerning which groups and organizations have received money from the Commission from the above budget ary allocation, may I point out that the Commission has provided information at the request of the Chair man of the Committee on Women's Rights.
Sutherland, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) På mødet i Venedig den 3. og 4. maj 1985 erklærede medlemsstaternes sundhedsministre, at de gik ind for et samarbejde mellem medlemsstaterne med henblik på at kontrollere udbredelsen af smitsomme sygdom me, og at der burde være at nært samarbejde med WHO på dette område.
Mr Pfeiffer, Member of the Commission. — (DE) The Commission is, of course, very conscious of the need to give financial support to action and also to organizations helping to promote equal opportunities for men and women.
Man blev enige om, at Rådets arbejdsgruppe om sundhedsanliggender skulle fortsætte arbejdet for at fremme et sådant samarbej-
The Commission has been trying for several years now to encourage equal opportunities in
Van der Lek (ARC). - (NL) Jeg takker hr. Pfeiffer for hans svar, men jeg kan alligevel ikke rigtig følge ham.
Mr Van der Lek (ARC). — (NL) I am grateful to Mr Pfeiffer for his answer, but I find it difficult to follow
Beskyttelse mod røde hunde og tuberkulose vil naturligivs også blive omfattet af arbejdet.
What we are talking about here is a special task that is directly related to the Commission's acitivities.
Spørgsmålet blev drøftet af praktisk talt alle de ministre, der deltog i den faktiske drøftelse i Rådet, og alle gik ind for et mere omfattende samarbejde.
I feel the comparison is perfectly valid. Could the Commission explain why a 'network of women' of this kind is not comparable to consumers, family organizations, trade unions and so on?
af det offentlige sundhedsvæsen, lukningen af hospitalsafsnit, omfanget af arbejdsløsheden blandt læger og sygeplejersker og privatiseringen af det offentlige sundhedsvæsen, der sætter indtjening højere end pa tienternes vel?
Mr Sutherland, Member of the Commission. — At the meeting held in Venice on 3 and 4 May 1985 the Ministers of Health of the Member States declared that they were in favour of cooperation between the Member States to control the incidence of infectious dis eases and that there should be close cooperation with the WHO in this area.
Mener han ikke, at det ville være en recept på katastrofe, hvis indtjening skulle komme mellem lægernes og sygeplejerskernes interesse og pa tienternes vel?
The matter was discussed by vitually all of the ministers who were involved in the actual discussion at the Council and all favoured a greater degree of cooperation.
Hutton (ED). — (EN) Jeg takker kommissæren man ge gange for hans nyttige svar.
Mr Hutton (ED). — I thank the Commissioner very much for his helpful answer.
Mener han ikke, at den form for samarbejde og samordnet aktion, som han har berørt, ikke blot ville være til overordentlig stor gavn for de enkelte menneskers sundhed i Fællesskabet, men også ville bevirke besparelser for sundhedsvæsenet og gøre vacciner billigere i hele verden og navnlig i den tredje verden?
Would he agree with me that the sort of cooperation and coordinated action which he has touched on would have substantial benefits not just for the health of individuals in the Community but also in making savings for health services and making vaccines cheaper worldwide and in the Third World in particular?
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 8 af Boutos (H365/85):
This Committee, which meets at least three times a year, also includes the participation in an advisory capacity of the social partners.
Om : Plyndring og ødelæggelse af arkæologiske skatte i den besatte del af Cypern
I believe therefore that this is the proper approach to the problem.
Sutherland. — (EN) Jeg er fuldstændig enig i det synspunkt, det ærede medlem har givet udtryk for.
Mr Sutherland. — I completely concur with the view expressed by the Honourable Member.
Det er vist et spørgsmål, som Rådet er gjort opmærksomt på af Kommissionen, og som det faktisk tidligere er gjort opmærksomt på at Kommissionen.
It was a point, I think, which was brought to the attention of the Council by the Commission and indeed had been brought to the attention of the Council in the past by the Commission.
En af vanskelighederne på området samordning er, at der er forskellige normer i hele Fællesskabet med hensyn til at gennemføre vaccinationsprogrammer og lignende, og man samordner derfor ikke ting, der er ens.
One of the difficulties in this area of coordination is that there are differing standards throughout the Community in terms of the achieve ment of vaccination programmes and suchlike, and therefore one is not coordinating like with like.
Men et simpelt svar på det stillede spørgsmål er, ja, vi går selvfølgelig fuldstændig ind for et større samar bejde og gør alt, hvad der står i vor magt til at stimulere det.
But a simple answer to the question asked is, yes, of course, we entirely approve of greater coordination and are doing everything in our power to stimulate it.
Sir James Scott-Hopkins (ED). — (EN) Kan kom missæren oplyse, om ministeren og også hans egen etat er ved at undersøge og udforske udbredelsen af AIDS i hele Europa, og i modsat fald, om de vil gøre noget ved det?
Sir James Scott-Hopkins (ED). — Can the Commissioner say whether the Minister and, indeed, his own department are examining and investigating the spread of AIDS throughout Europe and, if not, would they do something about it?
Sutherland. — (EN) Ja, jeg kan sige, at det er et spørgsmål, der naturligvis volder bekymringer for Kommissionens tjenestegrene.
Question No 7, by Mr Hutton (H-355/85):
Cryer (S). — (EN) Kan kommissæren i drøftelserne vedrørende arbejdsgruppen om sundhedsanliggender forsikre mig om, at han benytter enhver lejlighed til at anspore medlemsstaterne til at tilvejebringe et grundlæggende offentligt sundhedsvæsen, der er det bedste værn mod udbredelsen af enhver smitsom syg dom, hvad enten det er røde hunde, tuberkulose eller AIDS?
Mr Sutherland. — Yes, I can say that it is a subject which is naturally causing concern to the services of the Commission. In fact, DG XII and DG V associated with it during the course of last year had prepared a research programme into this and other topics but, as the Honourable Member will be aware, it was not adopted by the Council.
Og ansporer han i den forbindelse den britiske regering til at standse sin nuværende nedbrydning
Preparatory work involving discussions with experts of the World Health Organization, however, is continuing and it is the
Problemet er imidlertid ikke af økonomisk art. Jeg vil for det første spørge, om Kommissionen har truffet foranstaltninger for at forpligte medlemsstater ne til at ratificere de konventioner, som kommissæren nævnte, og hvor den vigtigste, så vidt jeg ved, kun er ratificeret af Grækenland og Italien, således at de påtager sig en moralsk forpligtelse til at beskytte kulturarven.
Sutherland are the products of looting of this kind, to protect our cultural heritage against such acts of vandal- intention of the Commission in the context of the next general programme of the Commission that this particular subject, in the course of the first six months of the coming year, will be addressed again and we are anxious that there should be a coordinated attack on this particular subject.
Der erindres om, at Kommissionen er tilhænger af, at medlemsstaterne skal gøre brug af førnævnte midler, som gives dem gennem de nævnte konventioner. In den for grænserne af sine beføjelser forbeholder Kommissionen sig ret til sammen med de pågældende instanser at indlede og/eller fortsætte en undersøgelse af følgevirkningerne for Det europæiske Fælles skab af disse konventioner.
Mr De Clerq, Member of the Commission. — (NL) As regards the first part of Mr Boutos's question concern ing specifically the measures Member States can take to establish whether works of art bought and sold in their territory are the products of looting, I would refer to a whole series of international conventions under which the Member States that have ratified these conventions can take the necessary action.
De Clercq. — (FR) Det er ikke så meget et spørgsmål om finansielle midler som et spørgsmål om retlige midler. Jeg synes, det er det, jeg har forsøgt af forklare i de indlæg, jeg hidtil er kommet med.
Mr Cryer (S). — In the discussions on the working party on health questions, could the Commissioner assure me that he uses every opportunity to encourage Member States to provide a basic national health ser vice which is the best protection against the spread of any infectious diseases whether it is rubella, tuberculosis or AIDS?
Hvad angår anden del af spørgsmålet, nemlig hvilke forholdsregler Kommissionen har taget eller vil foreslå for at beskytte kulturarven imod plyndringer, vil jeg i første række erindre om den betydning, som Kommissionen tillægger eksistensen og beskyttelsen af en fællesskabskunstskat. Jeg henviser i den forbindelse gerne til den meddelelse, som Kommissionen gav Parlamentet samt Rådet den 12. oktober 1982.
And in that context, does he encourage the United Kingdom Government to stop its present erosion of the National Health Service, the closing of hospital wards, the extension of unemployment to doctors and nurses and the privatization of the National Health Service which is placing profit before the welfare of the patients?
Kommissionen må imidlertid over for Dem påpege, at Fællesskabet ikke råder over midlerne til at beskytte kulturarven i tredjelande.
Does he not agree with me that it would be a formula for disaster if profit were to come between the concern of doctors and nurses and the welfare of patients?
Boutos (RDE). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne henlede kom missærens opmærksomhed på, at den konkrete sag, som mit spørgsmål drejede sig om, vedrører en del af Europas kulturarv, som er udsat for organiseret plyndring fra en stats side, som samtidig ansøger om at blive medlem af Fællesskabet, og som har under tegnet aftaler, handelsmæssige og økonomiske, med Fællesskabet, og Fællesskabet råder derfor over man ge midler til at forhindre sådanne plyndringer fra regeringens side, organiseret af den tyrkiske hær.
Mr Sutherland. — The Honourable Member appears to have trespassed somewhat beyond the limits of the question and I would not propose to go beyond the limits of the reply which was appropriate and was given in the first instance, namely, that we naturally favour all forms of cooperation between medical authorities within the Community in order to deal with the infectious diseases which were referred to in the question. tion.
Det er ikke to medlems stater, men ni ud af ti stater — jeg ved ikke, hvorfor den tiende ikke har underskrevet; det er formentlig af tidsmæssige, ikke af principielle grunde — har under tegnet konventionen, og det synes jeg er et meget godt tegn.
The Member States which ratify the conventions I have just mentioned undertake, for example, to take the necessary action to combat unlawful practices, such as the export of and trade in works of art acquired by force.
Vi vil forsøge at fremme en udvikling, som vi finder heldig i denne sag. Jeg gentager, at vi vil gøre det inden for vor kompetences rammer.
I would remind you that the Commission has always advocated that the Member States should use the means provided by the conventions I have named.
Wijsenbeek (L). — (NL) Kan kommissæren i denne forbindelse også angive forbindelsen med den vel kendte »Cypern-konstruktion«, som af enkelte med lemmer af OGEMs direktion, gamle CDA-politikere, er brugt til at unddrage sig beskatning?
Within the limits of its authority the Commission reserves the right to begin and/or continue, with the appropriate authorities, investigations into the implications of these conventions for the European Community.
Formanden. — Jeg tror ikke, det falder inden for spørgsmålet, hr. Wijsenbeek.
