Da der blev truffet afgørelse om almindelige valg til Europa-Parlamentet, forekom det vanskeligt at forstå, at Belgien kunne få det samme antal mandater som Nederlandene, hvis befolkning er større end Belgiens befolkning.
Would he accept from me that the first part has a defeatist tone about it and would he not give this House an undertaking that he will put the matter on the agenda of the Council again and attempt to persuade the Danish Government that after two direct elections the European Parliament has every right to play a larger part in the Community's decision-making process?
For så vidt angår det andet spørgsmål, er vor hold ning kendt, især min holdning. Vi mener imidlertid, at dette emne bør behandles, således som det er til fældet, i komiteen om den institutionelle reform, Doogekomiteen, og vi er således parat til at gøre os til talsmænd for denne komités resultater, som vi tror vil være positive.
Mr Cryer (S). — Would the President-in-Office accept that recently the Yorkshire and Humberside annual regional conference of the Labour Party rejected the concept of the Channel Tunnel and the reasons that were advanced included the fact that there needs to be more investment to provide decent schools and decent housing, not only in the United Kingdom, but throughout the rest of the common market.
Den belgiske udenrigsminister har for øvrigt haft lejlighed til at forklare spørgsmålet adskillige gange i sit nationale parlament.
Mr Forte. — (IT) I can assure the honourable Member that the Italian Presidency intends to make prag matic use of elements contained in the compromise proposal, which was mentioned at the meeting between the Enlarged Bureau and the Foreign Ministers, although, in keeping with what I said in my first answer, this is without prejudice to the legal position.
Vandemeulebroucke (ARC). — (NL) Jeg vil gerne spørge formanden for Rådet, om han kan give en definition på begrebet » vital betydning «, og om han ikke mener, at når man påberåber sig dette, er definitionen afhængig af det pågældende emne og af den pågældende medlemsstat?
Will the President-in-Office convey to the Council of Ministers that point of view and ensure that they do not embark on an expensive fanciful scheme in order to satisfy the eccentric minority who want to use the Channel Tunnel, not as a genuine means of transport but as a symbol of the union of a trading organization called the common market?
Ved den forventede ratifikation af tiltrædelseskonventionerne af 9.10.1978 og 15.10.1982 vil konventionen af 1968 komme til at gælde i alle Fællesskabets medlemsstater.
Parliament itself has published a resumé of the pro posed improvements and I would draw the attention of the honourable Member to Parliament's bulletin of 11 February.
Mit spørgsmål er nu: er det en korrekt fortolkning, at dette mandat skulle være afgivet til Danmark og ikke til Grønland, hvilket i sidste ende så ville føre føre til, at Belgien ikke vil få man datet tilbage?
President. — Since their authors are absent, Question Nos 84 and 85 will receive written replies'.
De forberedende arbejdsdokumenter til udformningen af konventionerne af 1968 og 1978 (protokoller og arbejdsdokumenter), som er et materiale af særlig stor betydning for fortolkningen af selve konventionen, er for kort tid siden blevet udgivet af Kom missionens kompetente tjeneste og findes i biblioteket for Kom missionens juridiske tjeneste.
For the rest, the letter states that in his statement to the European Parliament on 16 January 1985, the President-in-Office of the Council indicated his position with regard to this question which, as you know, is favourable.
Det er baggrunden for det svar, jeg har givet.
Subject: Return to Belgium of the seat reserved for Greenland
Wijsenbeek (L). — (NL) Rent bortset fra at vi ikke bør tale om tal, kan formanden for Rådet så ikke samtidig meddele, at den lov i Danmark, i henhold til hvilken behandlingen af netop det 25. belgiske mandet blev reguleret, var i strid med de tidligere indgåede aftaler?
Mrs Hammerich (ARC). — (DA) Does the President of the Council not agree that it is up each individual Member State, and not Mr Hutton or the President of the Council, to decide what are vital national interests?
Forte. — (IT) Jeg mener ikke at have registreret nogen uoverensstemmelse om dette spørgsmål.
I ask because it would appear from Mr Hutton's question that he thinks he is competent to make this decision himself.
Forte, formand for Rådet. — (IT) Det er ikke sædvane at offentliggøre forberedende arbejdsdokumenter til konventioner af en yderst kompliceret og teknisk præget art som de konventioner, det ærede parlamentsmedlem nævner.
During the negotiations concerning the first direct elections to the European Parliament, Belgium agreed to give up the 25th seat it had been allotted in order to enable Greenland to be properly represented.
Der findes imidlertid en ræk ke nyttige oplysninger i hr. Jenards rapport om konventionen af 27. september 1968 og om protokollen af 3. juni 1971 samt i hr. Schlossers rapport om konventionen af 9. oktober 1978; disse rapporter er of fentliggjort i De europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende nr C 59 af 5. marts 1979.
Since Greenland is leaving the European Community in 1985, would it not be fair for the seat assigned to Greenland to be returned to Belgium? gium?
Forte. — (IT) Jeg mener, at jeg allerede tidligere har svaret på dette spørgsmål.
What is the Council's opinion on this matter?
Jeg vil imidlertid henstille til formanden for Rådet og Rådet at give sig i kast med offentliggørelsen af disse arbejder, som i dette øjeblik kun er tilgængelige for personer, der aflægger et besøg i De europæiske Fællesskabers bibliotek i Bruxelles, og ikke for de hundredvis eller måske tusindvis af jurister, som dagligt benytter og udlægger denne betydningsfulde tekst.
Mr Forte, President-in-Office of the Council. — (IT) The number of representatives to the European Parliament elected in each Member State is laid down in Article 2 of the Act of 20 September 1976 concerning the election of the representatives of the Assembly by direct universal suffrage, as amended by Article 10 of the Act of 28 May 1979 concerning the Accession of the Hellenic Republic.
Christiansen (S). — Hr. rådsformand, må jeg forstå Deres svar til hr. Depré således, at Danmark havde 16 mandater ved det første direkte valg og har 16 mandater i dette Parlament?
Mr De Vries (L). — I have the greatest respect for the positive attitude of the Italian President to this Parliament. However, I think we could go one step further than the President of the Council has just described.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 87 af Evrigenis (H741/84) (i).
Mr Deprez (PPE). — (FR) I see that the President of the Council has at any rate not denied that, as I pointed out in my Question, my country made ages ture in this respect.
Formanden. — Da jeg ser, at spørgeren kun er midlertidigt fraværende, vil spørgsmål nr. 89 blive stillet i fortsættelse af denne del af spørgetiden.
Secondly, if the final report of the Dooge Committee calls for greater use of majority decisions, would the President-in-Office of the Council be prepared to pro pose once more to his colleagues that they take a majority decision on the question of the conciliation procedure?
Om: Offentliggørelse af de forberedende arbejdsdokumenter til Bruxelles - konventionen om domstolenes kompetence og om fuldbyrdelse af retsafgørelser i borgerlige sager, herunder han delssager.
Mr Forte. — (IT) As regards the first question — i.e. the question of lead in petrol — I do not think this is relevant to the subject in hand, although it is undoubtedly a matter of the utmost importance.
Spørgsmål nr. 90 af Toksvig, overtaget af Oppenheim (H-692/84)
It is enough for a big country simply to want its money back for its wish to be granted by means of non-Community procedures.
Om : Det europæiske rumfartsprogram
As regards the second question, the views of the Council and, in particular, my own personal view are well known.
Vil Rådet aflægge beretning om rådsmødet i den europæiske rumorganisation i Rom den 30.-31. januar 1985?
Mr Forte. — (IT) Belgium has never given up a seat to Greenland. When it was decided that the European Parliament should be elected by direct universal suf-

Mr Vandemeulebroucke (ARC). — (NL) I should be grateful if the President-in-Office would give us a definition of the term 'vital interest' and tell us whether or
I øvrigt skal jeg meddele, at de afgørelser. Rådet traf på samlingen den 19. december 1984 — jf. EFT nr. L 1 af 1.1.1985 — og som gjaldt indtil den 20. januar 1985, ved forordning 97/85 af 14. januar 1985, er blevet forlænget indtil den 31. december i år.
President. — Question No 87, by Mr Evrigenis (H741/84)' : frage, it seemed it appeared inappropriate that Belgium should have the same number of seats as the Netherlands, which has a population over 50% greater than that of Belgium.
Oppenheim (ED). — Jeg vil tillade mig at stille et tillægsspørgsmål: Kan ministeren bekræfte, at ESA og dets ministerråd udelukkende har beskæftiget sig med den civile udnyttelse af rummet?
Subject: Publication of the preparatory documents for the Brussels Convention on international jurisdiction and the enforcement of judge ments in civil and commercial matters.
Forte. — (IT) Som tidligere nævnt, ligger emnet Den europæiske Rumorganisation uden for Rådets kom petenceområde.
Furthermore, the Belgian Foreign Minister has had ample opportunity to put the question to his National Parliament.
Ewing (RDE). — (EN) Jeg tror, det må være et af de mindst oplysende svar, jeg nogensinde har fået !
Mr Vandemeulebroucke (ARC). — (NL) I am some what Surprised that figures are being compared, since if we are consistent, Luxembourg would have no seats at all, considering the size of its population.
Kan vi derfor få nogle reelle oplysninger om forhandlingssituationen med henblik på Spaniens til trædelse, især som følge af de seneste møder, der har fundet sted efter den 19. december?
Is Belgium right in think ing that this seat was in fact allocated to Denmark, and not to Greenland, which would mean that it would not be returned to Belgium?
Pearce (ED). — (EN) Fru formand, det går meget stærkt; jeg rakte hånden i vejret ved spørgsmål nr. 87. Jeg fik en tilkendegivelse fra et medlem af Deres per sonale, men på en eller anden måde gik vi videre til spørgsmål nr. 90, selv om fru Ewing ventede på at stille spørgsmål nr. 89.
The Brussels Convention of 27 September 1968 on international jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgements in civil and commercial matters, together with the supplementary interpretation of the European Court of Justice in its Protocol of •3 June 1971, is one of the fundamental legal texts governing every day contractual arrangements in the Community, as evidenced by the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice and the Courts of the signatory States as well as the wealth of interpretative literature.
Jeg ønsker at stille et tillægsspørgsmål, fordi jeg rakte hånden i vejret, før den ærede minister afsluttede spørgsmål nr. 87.
The awaited ratification of the Accession Conventions of 9 October 1968 and 25 October 1982 will extend the scope of the 1968 Convention to all the Member States of the Community.
Jeg ønsker at spørge den ærede minister, om ...
This is the mathematics underlying my answer.
Forte. — (IT) Jeg mener at have besvaret det pågældende spørgsmål meget klart under henvisning til den pressemeddelelse, som vi stiller til rådighed, og som drejer sig om den seneste samling i Rådet af fiskeri ministre.
The preparatory documents for the 1968 and 1978 Conventions (official records and working documents), which are of particular importance for the interpretation of the corpus of the Convention, were recently released by the responsible Commission service and are now housed in the library of the legal affairs department at the Commission.
Formanden. — Hr. Pearce, jeg må gøre Dem op mærksom på, at vi for øjeblikket drøfter spørgsmål nr. 90.
Mr Wijsenbeek (L). — (NL) Quite apart from the fact that we should not apparently be discussing figures, does the President of the Council nevertheless agree that the Danish legislation which determined what would happen with this 25th Belgian seat flew in the face of the previous agreement?
Pearce (ED). — (EN) Fru formand, vil De således venligst meddele mig, hvad jeg bør gøre for at få Deres opmærksomhed. Hvis De ønsker, at jeg skal tage tøjet af eller noget i den retning, vil jeg naturligvis meget gerne gøre det.
Does the Council intend to publish these prepara tory documents and thereby make them available as they should be to the large number of jurists engaged in the interpretation and implementation of the Convention?
Vil De derfor venligst meddele mig, hvad jeg skal gøre, og vil De også meddele mig, hvad jeg skal tro, det betyder, når jeg får en tilkendegivelse fra den herre, der sidder som nr. to på Deres venstre side.
Mr Forte, President-in-Office of the Council. — (IT) It is not customary for documents relating to preparatorywork on Conventions of the type mentioned by the honourable Member to be published.
Ellers bliver jeg nægtet retten til stille et tillægsspørgsmål. spørgsmål.
However, useful information will be found in the report on the Con vention of 27 September 1968 and the Protocol of 3 June 1971, and the report on the Convention of 9 October 1978, which were published in Official Journal C 59 of 5 March 1979.
Formanden. — Hr. Pearce, det er klart, at jeg ikke kan tillade Dem at stille et tillægsspørgsmål til et spørgsmål, som allerede er afsluttet.
Mr Croux (PPE). — (NL) In view of what has just been said regarding the formal aspects and the con tents of the Act, I should like to ask the President of the Council whether he is aware that the question of the 25th Belgian seat was in fact brought up during the preparatory work for this Act and that Belgium agreed, by way of a compromise, that this seat should be allocated to Greenland?
Forte. — (IT) I bestemmelserne har Rådet sikret lige vægt mellem de forskellige kategorier af fiskerivirksomhed.
Mr Forte. — (IT) I think I have already answered this question.
Da jeg ser, at spørgeren er til stede i salen, stiller jeg spørgsmål nr. 89 af Ewing (H-642/84)
Mr Evrigenis (PPE). — (GR) Madam President, I thank the President-in-Office of the Council very much for his reply.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 91 af Bocklet. overtaget af Rabbethge (H-693/84)
I should like once again to state how very important I feel the publication of these pre paratory documents is.
Formanden for Rådet bedes gøre rede for resultaterne af den seneste samling i Rådet af fiskeriministre.
I appreciate that it is a difficult task which, in addition to the cost of publication, also requires some processing of the material.

Mr Christiansen (S). — (DA) Am I to take the answer given by the President of the Council to Mr Deprez to mean that Denmark had 16 seats at the first direct elections and still has the same number?
Forte, formand for Rådet. — (IT) Som svar på dette spørgsmål henviser jeg det ærede parlamentsmedlem til de rådsafgørelser, der ernævnt i den pressemeddelelse, som blev udsendt efter fiskeriministrenes sidste samling i Rådet den 19. december 1984, og som jeg har stillet til Deres rådighed.

Er dette spørgsmål blevet drøftet i Rådet, og er der planlagt foranstaltninger med henblik på en fælles optræden fra med lemsstaternes side?
Mr Forte. — (IT) We are certain that Mr Evrigenis' repon on this subject will be of enormous interest.

No, you wouldn't like that, Madam President!
Enhver her på jorden, som kan kalde sig mennesker, har kompetence, når det drejer sig om menneskerettigheder.
There fore, would you kindly advise me what I should do, and would you also kindly advise me that when I receive a nod from the second gentleman on your left, what am I supposed to believe that that means?
Forte, formand for Rådet. — (IT) Også om dette meget vanskelige emne må vi sige, at den beslutning, der er vedtaget af Europa-Parlamentet, er bekendt gjort over for medlemsstaterne, men at Rådet ikke har kompetence til at foretage sig noget på dette område.
President. — Since I see that its author is not present at the moment, Question No 89 will be called later during this part of Question Time.
Forte. — (IT) Dette er en meningstilkendegivelse og ikke et spørgsmål.
President. — Mr Pearce, I obviously cannot let you put a supplementary question in conncetion with a question which has already been dealt with.
Spørgsmålene nr. 109, 110 og 111 vil blive besvaret skriftligt, da spørgerne ikke er til stede (')·

Spørgsmål nr. 112 af Evrigenis (H-742/84):
Since its author has returned, I call Question No 89, by Mrs Ewing (H-642/84):
Om: Medlemsstaternes forbindelse med UNESCO
Subject: European space programme
Den 31. december 1984 trådte De forenede Stater ud af UNESCO.
Subject: Last meeting of the Council of Fisheries Ministers
Det forenede Kongeriges regering meddelte envidere, at den har til hensigt at træde ud af organisationen i slut ningen af 1985.
Will the Council report on the meeting of the Council of Ministers of the European Space Agency in Rome on 30 and 31 January 1985?
Hvorfor kan Rådet ikke skride ind på dette område?
Mr Forte, President-in-Office of the Council. — (IT) Like the question we were discussing just now, this is a matter of great importance and interest.
Beslutningsforslaget var jo udarbejdet på en sådan måde, at det fremstod i en meget forsigtig form, og uden at det på nogen måde greb ind i de nationale juridiske ansvarsområder, men blot vedrørte generelle sociale og socialretlige anliggender.
How ever, it does not fall within the competence of Council of the European Community to express views on the proceedings of the European Space Agency.
Det vedrørte overhovedet ikke indgreb i den nationale øvrighed.
Mrs Oppenheim (ED). — (DA) I should like to put a supplementary question.
Hr. rådsfor mand, jeg må bede Dem præcisere, hvorfor Rådet ikke kan tage stilling hertil.
Can the Minister assure us that the ESA and its Council of Ministers have exclusively dealt with the civil use of space?
Mener udenrigsministrene, at denne udvikling, som bl.a. skaber voldsomme finansielle problemer i UNESCO, er udtryk for en dybtgående krise i organisationens funktion?
Mr Forte, President-in-Office of the Council. — (IT) In reply to this Question, I would refer the honourable Member to the Council Decisions set out in the press release issued after the last meeting of the Fisheries Council on 19 December 1984, which I have made available to the honourable Member.
Har de i bekræftende fald inden for rammerne af det politiske samarbejde beskæftiget sig med problemet og forudser de ud formningen af en fælles politik eller i det mindste af en koordineret politik for medlemsstaterne over for UNESCO?
Mr Forte. — (IT) As I said before, this matter does not fall within the competence of the Council of the European Community.
Yorte, formand for udenrigsministrene. — (IT) De Ti følger omhyggeligt krisen i UNESCO, herunder de finansielle problemer, fordi et vigtigt medlemsland, som var UNESCOs største bidragyder, er udtrådt af organisationen.
Mr Pearce (ED). — Madam President, you are going very fast, I had my hand up on Question No 87. I received a nod from a member of your staff, but some how we moved onto Question No 90, even though Mrs Ewing was waiting to raise Question No 89.
Hammerich (ARC). — Til forretningsordenen, fru formand.
— (IT) I think my reference to the press
Evrigenis (PPE). — (GR) Måske er det naturligt, at formanden for Rådet ikke kan give noget klarere fingerpeg vedrørende den politik, som formodentlig falder ind under De Ti's politiske samarbejde.
President. — (IT) Mr Pearce, I would point out that we are currently discussing Question No 90.
Formanden. — Ærede kollega, kun formanden fører omhyggeligt kontrol med den tidsplan, der er fastsat for afviklingen af denne del af spørgetiden.
release constitutes a very clear answer to this question which, after all, concerned the decision reached at the last Fisheries Council.
Hammerich (ARC). — Mener rådsformanden ikke, at de enkelte medlemslandes forhold til FN og FNs organisationer, f.eks.
Mr Pearce (ED). — Madam President, would you therefore kindly advise me what I am supposed to do to attract your attention?
UNESCO, er suveræne nationale anliggender og ikke kommer ind under EPS — alt så at det enkelte land selv afgør, hvorledes dets for hold til FN og FN's organisationer skal være?
If you wish me to take my clothes off or something, I would be happy to oblige.

(Laughter)
Forte. — (IT) Til den anden spørger ønsker jeg at sige, at denne sag af indlysende årsager følges op mærksomt i det europæiske politiske samarbejde.
Pearce ber States where certain executive powers are operated by provincial governments, Bundesländer, States, provinces or what have you.
For så vidt angår det oprindelige spørgsmål vil jeg forsøge at udtrykke mig tydeligere om et problem, som er vanskeligt, dersom mit svar ikke var tilstrækkeligt klart: vi er som nævnt i færd med at undersøge spørgsmålet med henblik på at føre denne strålende institution tilbage til dens oprindelige funktion.
Is the Council satisfied that Community decisions on matters such as fishery policy can be made fully effective where the administration of such functions is in the hands of these provincial or local administrations?
Vi i det politiske samarbejde mener, at kulturelt samarbejde og verdensomspændende kulturelle aktiviteter er af yderste vigtighed.

Må det imidlertid være mig tilladt at sige, at vi er bekymrede over de store repræsentationsudgifter, der har været i denne institution, og vi ønsker derfor at medvirke til, at institutionen arbejder med et klart sigte på at nå sine mål og med de til rådighed stående finansielle midler.
In view of these points, which we regard as important, it should be clear that this is not a matter which con cerns the powers of the Council but rather certain aspects of Community law for which other bodies may be competent, such as the Human Rights Tribunal.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 113 vil blive besvaret skriftligt, da spørgeren ikke er til stede (')· de, fordi det ikke er tilstrækkelig præcist. Jeg tillader mig derfor at insistere.
Mr Forte. — (IT) The Regulations adopted by the Council ensure a balance between the various types of fishing operations.
