INDLEDNING VED BARTKIEWIET, PRÆSIDENT FOR EF-SORTSMYNDIGHEDEN j
INTRODUCTION BY
1997 var et bemærkelsesværdigt år i EF-Sortsmyndighedens indtil nu korte eksistens.
The year 1997 was a memorable one in the as yet short life of the Community Plant Variety Office.
I marts tiltrådte José Elena som vicepræsident efter udnævnelsen i december 1996.
Firstly, in March, José Elena took up the post of vicepresident, to which he was appointed in December 1996.1 very much welcome his arrival.
Hans tiltrædelse glæder mig meget José Elenas bliver med sin betydelige viden om alle aspekter af sortsbeskyttelsesordningen efter mange års erfaring på området helt sikkert meget værdifuld for EF-Sortsmyndigheden.
His considerable knowledge of all aspects of the plant variety rights system, the result of many years of experience in this sector, clearly means that he will be a valuable asset to the Community Plant Variety Office.
En sørgelig begivenhed var det at det danske medlem af administrationsrådet Flemming Espenhain, døde den 18. juli 1997. Flemming Espenhain var i mange år en meget aktiv repræsentant for sit landi The International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) og i Den Europæiske Union og bidrog på mange måder til EF-sortsbeskyttelsesordningen.
A sad event was the death of the Danish member of the Administrative Council, Flemming Espenhain, on 18 July 1997.
EF-Sortsmyndigheden vil savne hans gode råd og venskab.
The CPVO will miss his sound advice and his friendship.
Flytningen til Angers påvirkede i betydelig grad Sortsmyndigheden i løbet af det forgangne år.
An event which had a considerable impact on the operation of the Office during the year under review was the move to Angers.
Beslutningen om at placere EF-Sortsmyndighedens hovedsæde i hovedstaden i Anjou blev truffet den 6. december 1996 på et regeringsmøde mellem repræsentanter for de 15 EU-medlemslande.
The choice of the capital of Anjou as the seat of the Office was made on 6 December 1996 at an intergovernmental meeting of representatives of the 15 Member States of the European Union.
Mindst otte byer var foreslået som EF-Sortsmyndighedens hjemsted.
At least eight cities had been put forward as possible homes for the Office.
Det er nok lidt for tidligt at sige noget definitivt om denne beslutning, men erfaringen indtil nu viser, at Angers er et klogt valg.
Whilst it would be premature to reach any definitive conclusion on this decision, from experience so far I would go so far as to say that Angers was a wise choice.
Det er en mellemstor by og forbindelserne dertil er gode med forskellige offentlige transportmidler, herunder hurtigtog, samt med fly.
It is a medium-sized town and easily accessible by various forms of public transport, including high-speed rail links, and by air, which is useful given the number of foreign visitors the Office receives.
Det er en stor fordel, idet EF-Sortsmyndigheden modtager en del udenlandske besøgende.
Cooperation with the local authorities is excellent.
Samarbejdet med de lokale myndigheder er fremragende, og byen har mange sports- og kulturtilbud at byde på.
The city offers many facilities of a sporting and cultural nature.
Alt dette samt »douceur Angevine« og det smukke landskab omkring byen gjorde, at EF-Sortsmyndighedens ansatte hurtigt føtte sig hjemme.
All this, plus the 'douceur Angevine' and the beautiful countryside roundabout ensured that the staff of the Office soon felt at home.
Jeg er stolt af, at den omfattende flytning, som jo både påvirkede de ansattes arbejds- og privatliv, næsten ikke havde nogen negativ virkning på EF-Sortsmyndighedens kernevirksomhed, nemlig
I am rather proud of the fact that this major operation, which affected staff in both their professional and their personal lives, had little detrimental effect on the core business of the Office — the processing of applications for plant variety rights and the concomitant financial and administrative work. The staff of the Office turned in an excellent performance in this regard.
Den nødvendige rekruttering af nye medarbejdere blev forsinket, delvis på grund af flytningen til Angers.
Partly on account of the move to Angers, the necessary recruitment of new staff was delayed.
I et vist omfang kunne hullerne udfyldes med personale fra agenturet.
It was to some extent possible to plug the gaps with agency staff.
Målet er nu at udruste Sortsmyndigheden med de nødvendige ansatte i løbet af 1998.
The aim now is to ensure that the Office is brought up to strength in the course of 1998.
Antallet af ansøgninger var betydeligt højere i 1997 end i 1996, hvilket beviser, at branchen har taget idéen om EF-sortsbeskyttelse til sig og har tillid til EF-Sortsmyndighedens arbejde.
The number of applications was considerably higher in 1997 than in 1996, proving that the industry finds the idea of plant variety rights at European level an attractive proposition and that it has confidence in the work of the Office staff.
Min konklusion er, at 1997 var et år med store udfordringer for EF-Sortsmyndigheden, men også et godt år.
My conclusion is that 1997, whilst a challenging year for the Community Plant Variety Office, was nevertheless a good one.
VED LOUIS VANEYLEN
BY LOUIS VANEYLEN,
Jeg vil gerne begynde med nogle mindeord om det danske medlem af administrationsrådet afdøde Remming Espenhain.
I should like to begin with a few words in memory of the late Danish member of the Administrative Council, Flemming Espenhain.
Administrationsrådet og alle, som arbejder med EF-sortsbeskyttelse, vil gerne benytte lejligheden til at hylde ham for hans væsentlige bidrag til ordningens oprettelse.
The Administrative Council and all those involved in the Community plant variety rights system would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to him for his key contribution to the creation of the system.
Beslutningen om at placere EF-Sortsmyndighedens hovedsæde permanent i Angers kom som en overraskelse.
The decision to choose Angers as the permanent seat for the Community Plant Variety Office came as a surprise.
Mange havde ventet at en enstemmig beslutning om hovedsædets placering ville være længe undervejs.
Many had felt that achieving a unanimous decision on the choice of seat would be a long, drawn-out affair.
Det viste sig ikke at være tilfældet Det er måske vigtigere, at der overhovedet blev taget en beslutning i denne sag, end at Angers blev valgt som hovedsæde.
This proved not to be the case. The fact that a decision on this matter was taken at all is perhaps even more important than the choice of Angers as the location.
Beslutningen markerede, sammen med udnævnelsen af José Elena som vicepræsident afslutningen på EF-Sortsmyndighedens opstartsfase.
This decision, together with the appointment of José Elena as vicepresident, marked the end of the Community Office's start-up phase.
Jeg vil også gerne rose EF-Sortsmyndighedens ansatte for deres store indsats for at gøre flytningen til Angers så smidig som muligt Pladsmangelen i Bruxelles medførte et akut behov for nye lokaliteter i Frankrig.
A word should also be said in praise of the Office's staff for their endeavours in ensuring that the removal to Angers passed off smoothly. The lack of space in Brussels made a rapid transfer to the new premises in France essential.
Derfor vedtog administrationsrådet enstemmigt Sortsmyndighedens præsidents ambitiøse tidsplan.
The Administrative Council therefore unanimously approved the ambitious timetable proposed by the Office's president
Jeg blev til min store glæde genudnævnt som formand for administrationsrådet på rådets første møde i Angers.
It was with considerable pleasure that I accepted my reappointment as chairman of the Administrative Council at its first meeting in Angers.
Med hjælp fra den nye næstformand, David Boreham, håber jeg at kunne fortsætte med at administrere dette vigtige organ effektivt Som formand vil jeg gerne takke Morelli Gradi for hendes vigtige arbejde som næstformand for administrationsrådet i løbet af EF-Sortsmyndighedens første år.
With the assistance of the new deputy chairman, David Boreham, I hope to be able to continue to administer this important body effectively. In my position as chairman, I should like to express my thanks to Ms Morelli Gradi for her important contribution, as deputy chairman, to meetings of the Administrative Council throughout the first years of the Office's existence.
På mødet i december hilste medlemmerne af administrationsrådet på en række lokale og regionale honoratiores, herunder præfekten for Maine-et-Loire, formanden for Departementsrådet (Conseil Général) og borgmesteren i Angers.
At their meeting in December, members of the Administrative Council were able to make the acquaintance of a number of local and regional dignitaries, including the prefect of Maine-et-Loire, the president of the Conseil Général of the department and the Mayor of Angers.
Disse embedsmænd bekræftede personligt deres intentioner om at sikre, at Sortsmyndigheden fungerer effektivt
The personal contact with these officials confirmed their commitment to ensuring the smooth operation of the Office.
Afslutningsvis kan jeg til min store glæde konstatere, at EF-sortsbeskyttelsesordningen fortsat er på rette kurs.
By way of a conclusion, it gives me great pleasure to see that the Community plant variety rights system is still on course.
Antallet af ansøgninger stiger stadig.
The number of applications continues to rise.
Administrationsrådet vil gøre alt hvad det kan for at sikre, at EF-Sortsmyndighedens grundlæggende infrastruktur udnyttes fuldt ud.
For its part, the Administrative Council shall do everything in its power to ensure that the infrastructure on which the activities of the Community Office depend is exploited to the full.
Den 27. april 1995 trådte de materielle og proceduremæssige bestemmelser i Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 2100/94 (»grundforordningen«) i kraft Ved forordningen oprettedes en ordning for EF-sortsbeskyttelse.
On 27 April 1995 the substantive and procedural parts of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 ('the basic regulation') came into force introducing a Community plant variety protection system.
Tidligere måtte en forædler, der søgte om beskyttelse af en ny sort inden for hele Den Europæiske Union, indsende en separat ansøgning i hver enkelt medlemsstat For fremtiden kan en planteforædler på baggrund af en enkelt ansøgning indgivet ved EF-Sortsmyndigheden (»Sortsmyndigheden«) opnå en beskyttelse, som garanterer forædleren eksklusiv licens til sin sort i hele EU.
Prior to that date, a breeder seeking protection for a new variety in the whole of the territory of the European Union was obliged to make separate applications in each individual Member State. Now, on the basis of a single application to the Community Plant Variety Office ('the Office'), a breeder may be granted protection guaranteeing him exclusive exploitation rights for his variety throughout the EU.
Ved modtagelse af en ansøgning om EF-sortsbeskyttelse skal Sortsmyndigheden konstatere, at sorten er ny, og at den opfylder kriterierne om selvstændighed, ensartethed og stabilitet (SESkriterierne).
On receipt of an application for a CPVR, the Office must establish that the variety is novel and that it satisfies the criteria of distinctness, uniformity and stability (DUS).
EF-Sortsmyndigheden kan foranstalte teknisk afprøvning til bekræftelse af SES-kriterierne, som skal udføres af de kompetente myndigheder i medlemsstaterne eller andre passende organer uden for EU.
The Office may arrange for a technical examination to confirm DUS to be carried out by the competent offices in Member States or by other appropriate agencies outside the European Community.
For at undgå unødvendigt dobbeltarbejde kan Sortsmyndigheden, hvis der allerede er udført en sådan teknisk afprøvning i forbindelse med en sort, på visse betingelser godkende afprøvningsresultatet
In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of work, where such a technical examination has already been carried out in relation to a variety for official purposes, the Office may, subject to certain conditions, accept the results of that examination.

Enhver har mulighed for at indgive en skriftlig indsigelse mod meddelelse af EF-sortsbeskyttelse til Sortsmyndigheden inden for en nærmere angivet tidsfrist Som støtte for indsigelsen kan kun anføres, at betingelserne i artikel 7-11 i grundforordningen (selvstændighed, ensartethed, stabilitet nyhed eller ret) ikke er opfyldte, eller at den foreslåede sortsbetegnelse ikke er hensigtsmæssig på grund af de hindringer, der er anført i artikel 63.
Anyone may lodge an objection to the grant of a CPVR with the Office, in writing and within specified time limits. The grounds for objection are restricted to allegations either that the conditions laid down in Articles 7 to 11 of the basic regulation are not met (distinctness, uniformity, stability, novelty, or entitlement), or that the proposed variety denomination is unsuitable due to one of the impediments listed in Article 63.
Indsigerne bliver part i behandlingen af ansøgningen og kan opnå adgang til alle relevante dokumenter.
Objectors become parties to the application proceedings and are entitled to access the relevant documents.
Appelkammeret består af en formand udnævnt af administrationsrådet og to andre medlemmer, som formanden vælger ud fra en liste, som administrationsrådet har udarbejdet Enhver, som afgørelsen er rettet til, eller enhver anden, som umiddelbart og individuelt berøres heraf, kan appellere den pågældende afgørelse.
Except in two specific instances where a direct action against a decision of the Office may be brought before the European Court of Justice, a right of appeal against such decisions lies with a board of appeal consisting of a chairman, appointed by the Council, and two other members selected by the chairman from a list compiled by the Council.
Efter behandlingen af klagen kan appelkammeret udøve enhver beføjelse inden for den kompetence, der tilkommer Sortsmyndigheden, eller hjemvise sagen til videre behandling i Sortsmyndigheden.
The addressee of a decision, or another person, to whom its content is of direct and individual concern, may appeal against it.
Sortsmyndigheden er bundet af appelkammerets afgørelse.
After examining the appeal, the board may exercise any power within the competence of the Office or remit the case to the Office, which is bound by the board's decision.
Appelkammerets afgørelser kan prøves ved De Europæiske Fællesskabers Domstol.
Actions may be brought before the European Court of Justice against decisions of the board.
Perioden kan forlænges ved lov med yderligere fem år, hvad angår særlige slægter eller arter.
These periods may be extended by legislation for a further five years in relation to specific genera or species.
Når en sort er blevet meddelt EF-sortsbeskyttelse, kræver visse specifikke handlinger i forbindelse med sortsbestanddele eller udbytte af den beskyttede sort indehaveren af sortens forudgående godkendelse.
The effect of a CPVR is that certain specified activities in relation to variety constituents or harvested material of the newly protected variety require the prior authorisation of the holder of the right.
Godkendelsen kan være underlagt visse betingelser og begrænsninger.
This authorisation may be made subject to conditions and limitations.
Overtrædelse af en EF-sortsbeskyttelse berettiger indehaveren til at anlægge en civil sag mod overtræderen.
Infringement of a CPVR entitles the holder of the right to commence civil proceedings against the perpetrator of the infringement.
Registre, hvortil der er offentlig adgang, indeholder detaljerede oplysninger om alle modtagne ansøgninger, og alle de tilfælde af EF-sortsbeskyttelse, som Sortsmyndigheden har meddelt Hver anden måned udgiver Sortsmyndigheden EF-Sortsmyndighedens Officielle Tidende, som indeholder disse og andre oplysninger.
Registers, open to public inspection, contain details of all applications received, and all CPVRs granted by the Office. Every two months, the Office publishes its Gazette of the Community Plant Variety Office which also provides this information, as well as other material.

Administrationsrådet holdt tire meder i 1997.
The Administrative Council met four times in 1997.
O På det møde, som blev afholdt den 20. marts:
O At its first meeting, which was held on 20 March, the Administrative Council:
• godkendte administrationsrådet gennemførelsen af budgettet for 1996 og noterede sig det foreløbige budgetudkast for 1998
• approved the implementation of the 1996 budget and took note of the preliminary draft budget for 1998;
• godkendte administrationsrådet Sortsmyndighedens forslag om at udpege en administrator og en assisterende administrator for forskudsforvaltning i lyset af Sortsmyndighedens relativt få ansatte og de juridiske krav vedrørende underskrifter og opdelingen af beføjelser
• approved the proposal by the Office to appoint an administrator and assistant administrator of imprest accounts, in view of the Office's relatively small number of staff and the legal requirements relating to signatures and the separation of powers;
• besluttede administrationsrådet at oprette seks udvalg inden for EF-Sortsmyndigheden i overensstemmelse med artikel 35, stk. 2, i grundforordningen.
• decided to set up six committees within the CPVO in accordance with Article 35(2) of the basic regulation.
Sortsmyndigheden orienterede administrationsrådet om følgende:
The Office informed the Council:
Efter modtagelse af deres kommentarer, forelægges udkastet administrationsrådet Derefter er det også muligt at udnævne en finansinspektør, som Kommissionen mener, skal være fra Kommissionen
On receipt of their comments, the draft could be submitted to the Administrative Council. It would then also be possible to appoint a financial controller who, in the Commission's view, should be a member of its own staff;
• at GD VI agtede at foranstalte tilbagebetaling af støtten på 300 000 ECU, som blev ydet af Europa-Kommissionen, for at Sortsmyndigheden kunne påbegynde arbejdet og anmodede administrationsrådet om at indarbejde et dertil indrettet udgiftsområde i budgettet for 1997
A granted by the European Commission to enable the Office to begin its work, and asked the Council to incorporate a heading into the 1997 budget for this purpose;
• at der var behov for informationsudveksling om sortsbetegnelser mellem EF-Sortsmyndigheden og UPOV-landene før indføreise af endelige direktiver
• of the need for an exchange of information on variety denominations between the CPVO and the UPOV Member States before definitive directives were introduced;
0 Administrationsrådet holdt yderligere et møde den 12. juni.
O A second meeting of the Administrative Council was held on 12 June.
1 sin rapport til administrationsrådet meddelte præsidenten for EF-Sortsmyndigheden medlemmerne, at forberedelserne til flytningen til Angers var godt i gang og bekræftede de franske myndigheders støtte på 10 mio. FRF til køb af en permanent bygning i Angers.
In his report to the Administrative Council, the president of the CPVO informed members that the preparations for the move to Angers were well under way and confirmed the subsidy of FRF 10 million granted by the French authorities in order to purchase a permanent building in Angers.
Hvad angår den nye finansforordning, der er forelagt de to generaldirektorater og Revisionsretten med henblik på kommentarer (se foregående møde), understregede han ligeledes, at Sortsmyndigheden venter på svar fra Revisionsretten, før udkastet forelægges administrationsrådet
He also emphasised that, with regard to the new financial regulation submitted to the two DGs and the Court of Auditors for comment (see previous meeting), the Office was now just waiting for a reply from the Court of Auditors before submitting the draft to the Administrative Council.
Sortsmyndigheden forelagde rådet følgende:
The Office presented to the Council:
• det ændrede budget for 1997 (ændringer til personaleudgifter og tilbagebetaling af støtten på 300 000 ECU), som blev godkendt af rådet efter drøftelse
• the amended 1997 budget (amendments to personnel expenses and repayment of the subsidy of ECU 300 000), which was approved by the Council after discussion;
Da ikke alle deltagerlande havde afsluttet de nødvendige forsøgsberegninger for at nå frem til en metode til beregning af omkostningerne ved SES-afprøvningerne, var det ikke muligt at fremsætte et forslag til godkendelse i rådet
Since not all the participating countries had yet completed the experimental calculations necessary to arrive at a method for calculating the costs of the DUS tests, it was therefore impossible to submit a proposal to the Council for approval.
O Et tredje møde blev afholdt den 8. og 9. oktober.
O A third meeting was held on 8 and 9 October.
Det var med glæde, at rådet på andendagen kunne byde Barry Greengrass, næstformand i UPOV, velkommen til mødet
