Kan endnu større mængder fødevarer nu transporteres på grund af den forbedrede transportinfrastruktur eller er de penge endnu ikke anvendt?
I want to assure her that we have been working with very considerable speed to try to fulfil the undertakings which were given.
Hvis vi ikke har fulgt tidsplanen, påtager jeg mig ansvaret som komissær for dette område.
If we have fallen behind in the timetable, I accept the responsibility as the Commissioner responsible for this area.
Men jeg har udtrykt det ret klart, som jeg gør over for det ærede medlem, der kom med et indlæg, at det er vor hensigt at forelægge forslaget så hurtigt som muligt.
However, I have made it quite clear, as I do to the other honourable lady who intervened, that it is our intention to bring forward the proposal as quickly as possible.
Men det rigtige er bestemt at få det rigtige forslag.
But surely the right thing is to get the pro-
Varfis, medlem af Kommissionen. — (GR) Hr. for mand, som De selv sagde, falder dette spørgsmål uden for denne debat.
Could the Commissioner tell us what effect that expenditure has had?
Naturligvis har alle de tilstedeværende kommissærer lyttet opmærksomt til, hvad hr. Tomlinson sagde, men jeg kan ikke svare på noget, som ikke har relation til denne debat.
Can more significant quantities of food now be moved because of the improved transport infrastructure, or has that money still to be spent?
Jeg foreslår, at De giver det videre til Rådet, når det er her i morgen under spørgetiden.
A satisfactory resolution of the matter is surely the aim that we all share.
Wijsenbeek (L). — (NL) Hr. formand, under møde perioden i juli havde jeg den ære for udvalget om retlige anliggender og borgernes rettigheder at forelægge en betænkning om tilpasninger eller i hvert fald ændringer på baggrund af to artikler i EKSF-trakta-ten.
Sir Jack Stewart-Clark (ED). — I do not want to flog a dead horse, but I do have in front of me evidence in the form of an answer given to a written question on 17 July, in which the Commission confirmed that it was now in the process of preparing a draft directive.
Varfis, medlem af Kommissionen. — (GR) Hr. for mand, der blev stillet to spørgsmål : til det første vil jeg sige, at der ikke findes noget bestemt beløb, som kan uddeles i så tragiske tilfælde som det i Mexico.
Mr Varfis, Member of the Commission. — (GR) Mr President, there are two questions here: First, there is no specified sum set aside for tragic situations such as Mexico.
Der bliver altid truffet en særlig beslutning af Kom missionen.
The Commission always makes an individual decision.
Vi må erkende, at denne hjælp i de fleste tilfælde kun har symbolsk værdi i betragtning af katastrofens omfang.
We are conscious of the fact that in most cases this aid is only of symbolic worth when compared with the magnitude of the disaster.
Jeg kan dog sige, at der eksisterer en mulighed for yderligere hjælp, skønt der endnu ikke er stillet forslag herom.
Yet, I would like to say that there is the possibility of some supplementary aid, though no relevant proposal has yet been tabled.
Det andet spørgsmål er stillet mange gange af Parlamentet, men jeg vil gerne dele det op og skelne mellem spørgsmålets to dele.
The second question has been asked many times by Parliament, thought I would like to distinguish two aspects of it.
Den ene del vedrører den mængde korn, som gives, denne gang til Etiopien, set i relation til de fødevarelagre, vi har; men Kommissionen arbejder inden for rammer ne af de forordninger, som er fastsat af rette myndig hed, og altid inden for budgettets rammer.
One relates to the quantity of wheat given to Ethiopia this time, compared to the mountains of food that we have in store, but the Commission has to operate within the framework of regulations laid down at the beginning, and always within the framework of the budget.
Vi nærmer os årets udgang, og jeg mener, at der i februar vil blive truffet afgørende beslutninger angående næste års hjælp.
We are nearing the end of the year, and I believe that in February important decisions will be taken about aid during the coming year.
Spørgsmålet vedrørende infrastrukturen i de lande, som modtager hjælpen, er faktisk meget alvorligt, og som vi alle ved, ligger problemet i transporten.
So, if I understand Mr Clinton Davis correctly, he is saying that a directive is coming forward and will be available as soon as the Commission get the proposal right.
I Kommissionens meddelelse om dens reaktion på Parlamentets udtalelser i juni/juli var der intet at finde om denne betænkning, og ligeså lidt er der herom i den nu foreliggende meddelelse fra Kommissionen.
Mr Clinton Davis, Member of the Commission. — Hav ing regard to the experience we have already had with timetables, I am not able or willing to tie myself down in that way.
Hr. formand, jeg spørger mig selv, og gennem Dem spørger jeg kommissær Clinton Davis om, hvornår vi blot får et enkelt forslag om én artikel fra Kommissionen. sionen.
This is a matter on which various colleagues of mine who have an interest in this matter are entitled to be fully consulted.
Tomlinson (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne rejse spørgsmålet vedrørende fru Benazir Bhutto.
Mr Tomlinson (S). — Mr President, I would like to raise the matter of Miss Benazir Bhutto.
Un der mødeperioden i september vedtog Parlamentet med stort flertal en beslutning af fru Lizin på den socialistiske gruppes vegne, hvori den pakistanske re gering blev opfordret til øjeblikkeligt og betingelsesløst at løslade fru Bhutto.
During the September part-session Parliament adopted by a large majority a resolution tabled by Mrs Lizin, on behalf of the Socialist Group, which called upon the Pakistan Government to order Miss Bhutto's unconditional release as a matter of urgency.
Fru Bhutto er fortsat under husarrest og har ifølge repræsentanter for det pakistanske folkeparti ingen telefon, må ikke modtage besøg, end ikke af sine familiemedlemmer, og har ingen lægeadgang.
Miss Bhutto continues to be held under house arrest and, according to representatives of the Pakistan People's Party, has no telephone, may not receive visits even from members of her family and has no access to doctors.
Da fru Bhutto var i London måtte hun underkaste sig to operationer for alvorlige øreog øjensygdomme.
Miss Bhutto while in London had to undergo two operations for serious ear and eye conditions.
Hun har nu brug for endnu en operation, og der er givet udtryk for ængstelser over hendes nuværende helbredstilstand.
She is now in need of a further operation and fears have been expressed about the present state of her health.
Hr. Clinton Davis svarede at det snarere var et spørgsmål for hans kollega, hr. Christophersen, som har fået et brev fra mig herom. Hidtil har jeg ikke fået noget svar herpå, måske kan hr. Christophersen sige noget nærmere herom.
Mr Cryer (S). — Could the Commission comment on the 500 000 ECU given towards relief of the Mexico earthquake disaster and say whether that is a final figure or whether the Commission is prepared to advance more if there is an indication, as seems likely, that more will be needed?
Varfis, medlem af Kommissionen. — Hr. formand, i det dokument, De har fået udleveret, nævnes faktisk ikke det emne, som det ærede medlem omtaler.
Secondly, on page 6 I notice that only 5 000 tonnes of cereals have been given to Ethiopia, which will not make much of a dent in the increasing food mountains.
Dette sker, når Kommissionen endnu ikke har truffet nogen beslutning, og som det også fremgår af dokumentets indledning, svarer vi på spørgsmål, som er blevet behandlet 34 måneder i forvejen.
On a previous occasion, the Commission indicated that they had redirected some monies towards improving the transport infrastructure in droughtaffected countries such as Ethiopa and the Sudan.
Formanden. — Hr. Tomlinson, jeg er ikke helt sikker på, at dette falder inden for rammerne af Kommissionens redegørelse, men jeg vil, da De har stillet spørgsmålet, lade Kommissionen svare, hvis den kan.
Can I therefore ask the Commission in the light of all this evidence — evidence that was reproduced in a Times article as recently as 5 October — whether it will therefore make immediate representations to the Pakistan Government for the release of Miss Bhutto who is the acknowledged leader of the Pakistan Peo ple's Party, Pakistan's main democratic opposition, in order to enable her to receive the much-needed medical attention?
McCartin (PPE). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne henvise til en beslutning, der blev vedtaget under mødeperioden i september i henhold til artikel 48 vedrørende hjælp til det irske landbrug på baggrund af de dårlige vejrforhold i Irland.
Mr McCartin (PPE). — Mr President, I want to refer to a resolution which was passed at the September past-session under Rule 48 on aid for Irish agriculture arising out of the bad weather conditions in Ireland.
Siden da er der givet meddelelse om, at der skal gives en vis hjælp til de irske landmænd.
Since then an announcement has been made of a cer­tain amount of aid being given to Irish farmers.
Jeg vil gerne gøre Kommissionen opmærksom på, at ånden i den beslutning, der blev vedtaget i Parlamentet, er ladt upåagtet, idet den hjælp, der er tilbudt, blot har været en symbolsk gestus og ikke engang nogen hjælp.
Mr Varfis, Member of the Commission. — (GR) Mr President, as you have pointed out, the matter does not fall within the ambit of the present debate.
Der har været et alvorligt fald i landbrugs produktionen i Irland: et fald i mælkeproduktionen — men da vi her er underlagt en kvota, vil jeg ikke gøre alt for meget ud af det — men der har så sande lig været et fald i oksekøds- og kornproduktionen.
All the Commissioners present have of course listened very carefully to what Mr Tomlinson said, but I can give no answer to a matter unrelated to this debate.
Som led i denne ordning er der indgået kontrakter om ca. 35 0001 svinekød.
I suggest that you tackle the Council when they are here tomorrow for Question Time.
Dette for at muliggøre en yderligere nedsættelse af restitutioner ved eksport til De forenede Stater og Canada.
I want to put it to the Commission that the spirit of the resolution passed in this Parliament has been ignored in that the amount of aid offered has been a mere token gesture and has not even been aid.
En anden grund var, at vi ville holde et vist mål ved eksporten af svinekød fra Fællesskabet.
We pointed out at the last session that Irish farmers had suffered a loss of 200 million pounds.
Jeg vil til sidst påpege, at situationen inden for svineavlen allerede i nogen tid er forbedret betydelig, bl.a. som følge af de lave foderudgifter, og at også i Irland er situationen forbedret betydelig siden i som mer.
There has been a serious reduction in agricultural production in Ireland: a reduction in production of milk — but as we are here subject to a quota I won't make too much of that — but there has certainly been a reduction in beef and cereal production.
Mit spørgsmål blev stillet første gang i marts, men jeg mener, at den foranstaltning såvel som nedsættelsen af dollarens værdi virkelig havde en virkning og virkelig hjalp.
The Commissioner who replied at that time, Mr Clin­ton Davis, assured us that the Commission had taken note of the one amendment Parliament had explicitly proposed, concerning the retroactive effect of the pro­posal in question, and said that, although it could not use the words suggested by Parliament, it would find legally acceptable wording which would reflect Parlia­ment's wishes, and make a recommendation regarding Articles 48 and 50 of the ECSC Treaty.
Dette betyder, at Det europæiske Fællesskab vil spare en betydelig sum penge.
This means that the European Community will save a considerable amount of money.
Nu har Fællesskabet blot stillet 1 2001 korn til rådighed for de irske landmænd til en nedsat pris, dvs. den pris, som Fællesskabet under alle omstændigheder ville være nødt til at sælge dette korn til til tredjelande.
Now the Community has merely made available to Irish farmers 1 200 tonnes of grain at a reduced price, i.e. the sort of price at which the Community would anyway have to sell this grain to third countries.
Til fordel for de irske landmænd giver den således blot afkald på den ind tjening, den ville have fået fra det ekstra korn, som disse landmænd er nødt til at købe som et resultat af dårlige vejrforhold.
So they are merely waiv­ing for Irish farmers the profit they would have made on the extra grain which these farmers will have to buy as a result of bad weather conditions.
Jeg vil gerne gøre Kommissionen opmærksom på, at den blot giver de irske landmænd en brøkdel af de penge, der spares som et resultat af de dårlige vejrforhold i Irland, og at dette gør den beslutning, vi vedtog, til en parodi og fuldstændig til sidesætter den anmodning, Parlamentet fremsatte om en virkelig hjælp, navnlig til landmænd i det vestlige Irland, der har lidt alvorlige og seriøse indkomst tab.
I want to put it to the Commission that it is merely ceding to Irish farmers a fraction of the money that is being saved as a result of bad weather conditions in Ireland and that this makes a mockery of the resolution we passed and ignores entirely the request that this Parliament made for genuine assistance, particularly for farmers in the west of Ireland who have suffered grave and serious losses of income.
Jeg mener imidlertid, at erhvervet nu er ved at være for nedadgående igen, og jeg vil gerne spørge kom missæren, om han snarere nu end senere vil overveje at genindføre nogle foranstaltninger for at medvirke til at bevare svineavlernes tillid, navnlig i Irland?
Nor does the communication now before us. I wonder, Mr President, and through you I put this question to Mr Clinton Davis, when we can expect to receive from the Commission a proposal, however simple it may be, relating to one article or the other.
Formanden. — Hr. McCartin, Deres spørgsmål falder ikke inden for rammerne af redegørelsen for Kom missionens reaktion på Europa-Parlamentets udtalelser om Kommisssionens forslag.
President. — Mr McCartin, your question does not fall within the framework of the statement on Com­mission action on European Parliament opinions on Commission proposals.
Kommissionen har tydeligvis haft lejlighed til at tage Deres bemærkninger til efterretning, men det bør tages op i de rette udvalg i Parlamentet.
The Commission have obviously had the opportunity to note your comments, but it should be taken up in the appropriate commit­tees of Parliament.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er første del af spørgetiden (dok. B2-960/85).
President. — The next item is the first part of Ques­tion Time (Doc. Β 2-960/85).
I mellemtiden har Kommissionen som bemærket reageret.
We begin with questions to the Commission.
Vi begynder med spørgsmål til Kommissionen.
That is what happens when the Commission has not yet reached a decision, and as shown by the introduction to the text, we often pro-
Spørgsmål nr. 1 af MacSharry (H-74/85) :
Question No 1, by Mr MacSharry (H-74/85):
Det er der ikke tale om.
President
Der er en helt normal procedure, som yderst sjældent skaber vanskeligheder.
Subject: EEC aid for pigs the Commission's behalf that it is willing to consider new measures.
Jeg kunne nævne enkelte eksempler på, at medlemslande har været utilfredse med nogle af Parlamentets afgørelser og derefter har udskudt indbetalinger, men det ligger allerede et stykke tilbage i historien, så det vil jeg ikke trætte Parlamentet med.
In view of depressed pig prices and the difficulty faced by many producers in Ireland in disposing of their pigs, will the Commission agree to the introduction of aids to private storage as well as an increase in export refunds as a matter of urgency?
porter, som jeg kunne citere, er de mest effektive, ganske givet i Fællesskabet og sandsynligvis i verden.
This, in spite of the fact that Irish pig farmers aré, according to a number of reports which I could quote, the most efficient, certainly in the Community and probably in the world.
Men på grund af de alvorlige handicap, vi lider under — afstanden fra markedet og en dårlig bearbejdningssektor — har det irske svinekødsproducerende er hverv brug for støtte.
But because of serious disadvantages which we suffer — distance from market and a bad processing sector — the Irish pig industry is in need of aid.
Jeg vil gerne venligst anmode Kommissionen om at undersøge det igen, da priserne er faldet i den seneste tid, og svinekødsproduktionen ikke er rentabel nu, selv ikke i de mest effektive land brugsbedrifter.
I would ask the Commission to please investigate it again since prices have fallen recently and pig production, even on the most efficient farms, is not now profitable.
Jeg vil gerne spørge kommissæren, om han venligst vil påtage sig at se endnu en gang på den irske svinekødssektor.
I would ask the Commissioner if he would please undertake to have another look at the Irish pig indus try.
Staurou (PPE). — (GR) Kommissæren indledte med at sige, at han ville give et klart svar på hr. Christodoulous spørgsmål, men dette mener jeg slet ikke, at han gjorde.
Mr Andriessen. — (NL) I will try to answer this question. When we ask whether and, if so, what measures should be taken, I feel we must make a distinction between a general situation in the market, calling for general measures, and specific circumstances possibly affecting in a specific area of production in the Community.
Jeg vil derimod sige, at når sagen ikke skaber vanskeligheder, skulle det netop være nemt at give et præcist svar. Vi fik imidlertid ingen tal for de skyldige beløb for momsopkrævningen, hverken for de enkelte år eller for de enkelte medlemsstater.
I also feel that this distinction should result in different ideas and possibly different measures.
Jeg vil benytte lejligheden til at spørge kommissæren, i håb om, at vi vil få et mere fyldestgørende svar, om disse skyldige beløb også påføres renter.
Mr Andriessen, Vice-President of the Commission. — (NL) With effect from 6 May 1985 the Commission decided to grant aid to the private storage of pigmeat in the Community with a view to preventing the collapse in prices in the market which would have occurred if the supply of pigs for slaughter had been higher than predicted.
Jeg mener, at det er en alvorlig sag, som vedrører varetagelsen af Fællesskabets interesser.
Under this scheme, which remained in force until 19 July 1985, contracts relating to about 35 000 tonnes of pigmeat were concluded.
Andriessen. — (NL) Jeg vil gerne forsøge at svare på dette spørgsmål.
This was done to make a further reduction in refunds on exports to the United States and Canada possible.
Jeg tror, at denne skelnen også bør føre til forskellige overvejelser og eventuelt til forskellige foranstaltninger.
I would add that the dif ference of about 20 ECU per 100 kg between the price in Ireland and the average price in the Community should in itself enable Irish pigmeat to be marketed in the Community.
Jer erklærer mig gerne rede til igen at se på situationen i Irland uden dog i øjeblikket at kunne love, at Kommission en er rede til at træffe særlige foranstaltninger.
I would also point out that the situa tion in the pig sector has been much better for some time now, partly as a result of the low cost of feed, and that the situation in Ireland has also greatly improved since the summer.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 2 af Christodoulou (H146/85), overtaget af Stavrou:
President. — Question No 2, by Mr Christodoulou (H-146/85), for whom Mr Stavrou is deputizing:
Om : Forsinket opkrævning af momsindtægterne
Subject: Delays in the collection of VAT revenue
Der er ikke nogen udestående, skyldige beløb, der kan gøres op. Der kan i enkelte tilfælde som sagt være uenighed mellem Kommissionen og et medlemsland om beregningen af en korrektion. I så fald skal medlemslandet forelægge dokumentation for, at vores korrektion ikke er korrekt, men der er ikke nogen udestående, skyldige beløb.
Mr MacSharry (RDE). — I should like to thank the Commissioner for his very extensive reply and welcome the action taken by him and the Commission in May.
Kan Kommissionen opgive det nøjagtige skyldige beløb for momsopkrævningen for hver medlemsstat hvert år fra 1975 til og med 1984?
Will the Commission give details of the exact amount owed by each of the Member States in connection with the collection of VAT for each year from 1975 up to and including 1984?
Hvilke konkrete skridt har Kommissionen tænkt at tage for at inddrive disse indtægter hurtigst muligt?
What practical steps does the Commission intend to take in future to collect this revenue as quickly as possible? sible?
McSharry (RDE). — (EN) På baggrund af kommissærens svar — og jeg forstår, at han giver, hvad der kan beskrives som et svar på et teknisk problem — når et sådant problem opstår, kan han, når man ven ter på, at disse tekniske detaljer skal udarbejdes mel lem medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen, sige, hvor stort det samlede udestående beløb er i slutningen af et hvilket som helst år?
Mr Andriessen. — (NL) As you say, the question was put in March and is now being answered in September. The Commission has reacted in the meantime, as I have said.
Låner Kommissionen des uden for at betale sine forpligtelser eller udskyder den betalingen af sine forpligtelser, indtil de tekniske pro blemer er løst?
I think that this in itself is reason to assume that the Commission is prepared to consider possible new measures if the situation in the market requires.
Christophersen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — Hr. Christodoulou spørger, om vi kan opgive, hvilke skyldige beløb der er for momsopkrævningen for hver medlemsstat fra 1975 til 1984.
Mr Christophersen, Vice-President of the Commission. — (DA) Mr Christodoulou asks if we can indicate what amounts are owed by each Member State in respect of VAT from 1975 to 1984.
Jeg kan give et klart svar ved at sende hr. Christodoulou en oversigt over de merværdiafgiftsbeløb, der i de pågældende år opkræves fra de enkelte medlemslande.
I can give a clear answer by sending Mr Christodoulou a list of VAT amounts demanded from the individual Member States in the years in question.
Der er nemlig ikke skyldige beløb.
There are in fact no amounts outstanding.
Indbetalingerne finder sted efter ganske bestemte regler.
Payments are made according to precise rules.
Der er også nogle bestemte tidsfrister for, hvor når den slags endelige afgørelser skal træffes, men der er ikke noget dramatisk i det. Måske forestillede hr. Christodoulou sig, at der var store skyldige beløb,
At the end of the year, a final adjustment of the VAT amount can be made, and the Member State pays in what sums may still be due.
Her har Kommissionen altså måttet finansiere dele af sine udgifter ved at trække
In some cases there may be a disagreement between the Commission and a Member State on whether the adjustment is cor-
Christophersen på medlemsstaternes finansforvaltninger, men det er normalt.
In that case the Commission had to finance some of its expenditure by drawing on the national financial administrations, but that is normal practice.
Der er bestemte regler for det, så det skaber ikke noget likviditetsproblem.
There are clearly defined rules for it, and it causes no liquidity problems.
Det er et mere teknisk arrangement, selv om vi selvfølgelig ikke ønsker at trække på finansforvaltningerne.
It is more of a technical arrangement, even though of course we do not want to have to draw upon the financial administrations. trations.
Efterfølgende finder der så en endelig korrektion sted, for da kender vi det faktiske momsgrundlag.
There are also precise time limits specifying when the final settlement is to be made, but there is nothing dramatic about it.
Når vi når frem til 1987, fore­tager vi en endelig opgørelse af, hvad momsgrundla­get rent faktisk var i medlemslandene.
It is an entirely normal procedure, which very seldom gives rise to difficulties.
Hvis der er afvigelser, finder der tilbagebetalinger sted, hvis vi har skønnet for højt, eller der finder yderligere indbe­talinger sted til Fællesskabet, hvis vi har skønnet for lavt.
I could give a few examples in which Member States were dissatisfied with some of Parliament's decisions and delayed their payments, but that is history now, so I will not burden Parliament with it.
