Schinzel. — (DE) Hr. minister, kan De bekræfte, at sådanne synspunkter, som det, der kom til udtryk i spørgsmålet fra hr. Tyrrell, tidligere netop har ført til, at der ikke kom nogen dialog i Den nære Orient i stand, og at vi — også de europæere, som har tænkt ligesom hr. Tyrrell — har været medvirkende til, at der i disse dagligt udøves vold?
Mr Prag. — Whilst I accept that there are no provisions or plans for magnetizing European passports, would the President-in-Office tell us how he thinks the Council of Ministers could be galvanized into action particularly on matters such as those which have just been raised and which are directly related to the freedom of people to move throughout the Community?
Spørgsmål, der ikke har kunnet besvares i spørgetiden, besvaret skriftligt
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) Mr President, it is naturally the job of the President 'to galvanize the members of the Council, and I will certainly do this.
Spørgsmål nr. 5 af Balfe (H-840/80)
(Laughter)
Det menes, at de britiske budgetbidrag til EØF på grund af »det grønne punds« kurs vil stige med omkring 250 mio. £.
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) As I have already explained, the Council has not taken any decision whatsoever on this matter so the question is completely open or closed — whichever you like.
Kan Kommissionen bekræfte, at disse penge vil blive tilbagebetalt til den britiske statskasse i henhold til aftalen fra maj 1980?
At this stage, however, I cannot as President-in-Office make any statements even on the desirability of such a course of action.
Da beslutningerne af 30. maj 1980 vedrører en tilbagebetaling på grundlag af det globale »nettobidrag« fra Det forenede Kongerige, kan det beløb, der skal tilbagebetales, ikke i forvejen specificeres i særskilte faktorer.
Does the Council not think that the communication forwarded to it by the previous Commission in March 1980 on the introduction of a tax on oil to provide funds for investments in energy is the wrong way to go about financing a new policy which is more necessary than
Hvis Det forenede Kongeriges nettobidrag ligger mere end 250 mio. pund eller ca. 460 mio. ECU over de anslåede beløb, anvendes i henhold til beslutningerne af 30. maj 1980 følgende ordning:
Mr Kirk. — (DA) I should like to ask the Presidem of the Council whether or not he agrees that energy prices are already such a burden on economic activity in the Community as a whole that there is no room for further levies on energy, that additional levies are not essential to achieve the necessary energy saving in the Community and that the consumers, by which I mean both commercial and private consumers, are already very much aware that it is in their interests to make the savings necessary to reduce our energy consumption to a minimum?
— hvis de anslåede beløb overskrides i 1980, er 25 % eller 115 mio. ECU for Det forenede Kongeriges regning og 75 % eller 345 mio. ECU fór de øvrige otte medlemsstaters regning;
On 13 May 1980 the Council, noting that the Commission intended to submit a report on Member States' investment programmes, stated that the financial aspects would have to be examined in due course.
— hvis de anslåede beløb overskrides i 1981, er de første 20 mio. ECU udelukkende for Det forenede Kongeriges regning.
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) The Council has not expressed any opinion on this matter, but I would say in a personal capacity that it is obviously true that energy prices are high and constitute a considerable burden on economic activity.
Af det påfølgende beløb på 100 mio. ECU er 50 mio. for Det forenede Kongeriges regning og 50 mio. ECU for de andre medlemsstaters regning.
However, whether they are too high is another question. The energy saving programmes being conducted in the various countries are, I think, having some effect.
Af eventuelle beløb derudover skal 25 % afholdes at Det forenede Kongerige og 75 % af de øvrige Stater.
We can observe a clear reduction in oil consumption and a move towards other energy sources.
Ved en stigning på 460 mio. ECU i 1981 vil derfor 155 mio. ECU være for Det forenede Kongeriges regning og 305 mio. ECU vil være for de øvrige medlemsstaters regning.
It is hard for me to say, however, to what extent a tax over and above the current prices would make the burden too great to bear, since this also depends on the level of this tax.
Spørgsmål nr. 8 af Turcat (H-6/81)
President. — I call Question No 63, by Mr Adam (H-112/81):
Om .-Udnyttelse af bunden af olieboringen.
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) As I said, this item figures on the agenda for the Energy Council in June.
Der er forskellige forlydender om forskningen angående udnyttelse af bunden af olieboringen, hvilket kan skaffe nye ressourcer ikke blot til Fællesskabet, men til hele verden.
Mr Van der Klaauw, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) As the honourable Member has stated, the
Vil de påtænkte metoder gøre det muligt igen at udnytte boringer, som man anså for udtømte, og som der eksisterer nogle af i Fællesskabet, og har Kommissionen spillet en rolle desangående, eller har den til hensigt at spille en sådan rolle?
Mr Seligman. — Does not the President-in-Office agree that an oil import levy would (a) have the advantage of raising money for investment in alternative sources of energies and (b) discourage the use of
Man går nu inden for Fællesskabets produktionsområder i stadig stigende grad over til den såkaldte sekundære udvindingsmetode for den olie, der endnu er tilbage efter den normale udvinding fra oliefeltet.
Mr Welsh. — Could the President-in-Office of the Council confirm that, notwithstanding the meritricious questions of the honourable Members opposite, this money was in fact spent in the disadvantaged regions of the United Kingdom which are represented here by Mr Griffiths, Mr Adam; myself and many others.
Denne udvindingsmetode gør det faktisk muligt at bringe udvindingsprocenten op fra 20 til 35 i gennemsnit for den olie, der oprindelig fandtes i feltet.
The Council takes the view that the measures in question constitute an exceptional action planned and carried out in accordance with principles peculiar to such action and in no way prejudice the development of Community policies.
Med henblik på udvindelse af endnu større mængder har Fællesskabet siden 1974 (') været med til at finansiere pilotprojekter, hvormed formålet er at udvikle nye og mere effektive udvindingsmetoder.
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) This does not actually strike me as a question, which I find a little strange for someone from Oxford, but the proposals came from the United Kingdom and were adopted by the Council.
I indeværende år er der til Kommissionen indgivet 12 nye anmodninger om finansiering til et samlet investeringsbeløb på 129 mio. ECU.
Mr Adam. — It is a very painful business continually to butt one's head against a brick wall.
Spørgsmål nr. 11 af Ansquer (H-47181)
(Laughter)
Om: Ny form for kontingentering.
President. — I call Question No 64, by Mr Griffiths (H-114/81):
Nogle tredjelande anvender nu en ny form for differentieret kontingentering, idet de skelner mellem udviklede lande og »lande med lave lønninger«.
However, here goes! Why did the Council not insist that in view of the exceptional nature of the supplementary measures there was a particular need for them to be seen to be achieving economic convergence and a reduction in regional disparities.
Påtænker Kommissionen at anvende denne nye form for kontingentering i forbindelse med situationen inden for forskellige sektorer, navnlig fodtøj og tekstil?
I do not understand why it was felt necessary to delete these two phrases from the Council regulation at the end of the day.
Såfremt visse tredjelande afviger herfra sker dette i regelen inden for rammerne af såkaldte aftaler om frivillig begrænsning.
I might add that the Presidency has been particularly active in this field in recent months and intends to continue to this way in the near future, particularly in connection with the preparation of the 'jumbo Council', where these problems must also be included on the agenda.
Det europæiske Fællesskab har benyttet sig af denne mulighed ved indgåelse af ca. 30 aftaler om frivillig begrænsning i lighed med de andre vigtigste industrilande.
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) As the honourable Member will no doubt be aware, all these budgetary problems are currently being discussed in connection
Kommissionen har ikke til hensigt at anvende aftaler om frivillig begrænsning på andre områder.
When it adopted the regulation for the introduction of these measures in favour of the United Kingdom, the Council stated in so many words that the supplementary measures in favour of the United Kingdom constituted an exceptional action planned and carried out in accordance with principles peculiar to such action and in no way prejudiced the development of Community policies.
Om: Forbedring af de fælles transportinfrastrukturer ved hjælp af Fællesskabets fonde.
I have had the privilege of visiting Scotland, and I was told by trade unionists there that in certain parts of that country, youth employment has reached levels of 40 to 50%.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at man i højere grad burde gøre brug af de eksisterende midler som f.eks.
Are special measures to be taken for these specific regions rather than general measures which, in my view, do not achieve the required effect?
Fællesskabets fonde med henblik på en yderligere forbedring af de fælles transportinfrastrukturer, som er af afgørende betydning for den europæiske udvikling? ling?
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) As I have already said, the question of the social and regional funds — which are of course of particular interest for certain regions which have specific serious problems to contend with — will receive a great deal of attention in the context of the new budget.
Spørgsmålet til Kommissionen er blevet behandlet i beretningen om flaskehalse og de forskellige måder, der kunne tænkes interveneret på, som Kommissionen fremsendte til Rådet i juni 1980, og som Rådet tog til efterretning i december 1980.
Mrs Rabbethge. — (DE) Can the President of the Council assure us, against the background of the state ment he has just made, that a debate on youth unemployment will be held during the next few days in which particular attention will be paid to the question of girls who are out of work?
Parlamentet har sat sig ind i denne beretning og vil snarest behandle den, og derfor vil jeg nøjes med at give et svar af meget generel karakter.
What steps does the Council intend to take towards preparing young people at the time of school-leaving for employment?
I øvrigt kan de kriterier, der lægges til grund for anvendelsen af de forskellige eksisterende organer i visse tilfælde begrænse disse organers interventionsevne på transportinfrastrukturområdet på baggrund af kravene om oprettelse af et sammenhængende net af kommunikationsveje af interesse for Fællesskabet.
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) I am sorry but this would appear to me to be a problem of national education policy, and it is for each individual country to take up its responsibility in this respect and ensure that young people are given an education which offers them a future.
Det er ikke desto mindre klart, at hvis det nye system Kommissionen har foreslået ikke bliver vedtaget, så har medlemsstaterne kun den mulighed tilbage at forsøge at udnytte de eksisterende organer mest muligt under hensyntagen til deres behov og disse organers muligheder.
Ms Clwyd. — Is the Council aware that Wales is now a priority area for aid to combat unemployment among young people as provided for by Article 4 of the Social Fund, and can he explain why the United Kingdom Government has not done ^anything to inform the Welsh people that Wales is now such a priority area, and would he not agree that the money which the EEC is spending under the Social Fund should be additional to the money being spent in the Member States for that purpose?
Spørgsmål nr. 17 af Johnson (H-25/81)
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) This strikes me as a question which should in the first instance be considered by the United Kingdom, and the United
Det kan næppe siges, at der på dette møde er opnået fremskridt.
question of straight religious persecution because these people are Baha'is?
Væsentlige spørgsmål i forbindelse med afstikkelse af internationale rammer for udforskning og udnyttelse af havbunden forblev således uløste; det samme var tilfældet med spørgsmål i forbindelse med en afgrænsning af fastlandssoklen og andre havområder samt betingelserne for gennemsejling i fredstid af farvande inden for territorialgrænserne.
Is the President-in-Office aware that the future of the Baha'i community, and particu­larly of its elected representatives, is balanced on a knife edge and that very large numbers of executions may take place at any moment, and in view of this, will he try to get the member governments to step up their representations to the Iranian Government?
Til gengæld fandt der en indgående meningsudvekslinger og detaljerede forhandlinger sted vedrørende spørgsmålene om deltagelse fra ikkestatslige organers side i havretskonferencen og også vedrørende emnet forberedende udvalg.
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) As I have already said, we have not so far felt it would be desirable — and I can assure you that this was after careful consideration from all points of view — to make representations in Teheran, and we considered that we should approach this abhorrent situation in a different way.
Kommissionen for De europæiske Fællesskaber har allerede taget stilling til De forenede Staters ændrede holdning vedrørende havretskonferencen over for palamentarikerne og Europa-Parlamentet.
I am well aware that there is an United Nations Commission on Human Rights, but do you not think that personal representa­tions in our own right would have far more impact than calling on an intermediary?
Ifølge de oplysninger, vi er i besiddelse af, kan en under søgelse af den amerikanske holdning komme til at vare til at vare til efteråret i indeværende år; det kan derfor næppe forventes, at De forenede Staters delegation spiller en aktiv rolle på havretskonferencens sommersamling.
In addition, the representative of the Presidency spoke on behalf of the Ten during the debate on the report by the Commission on Human Rights which was discussed on 30 April in the Economic and Social Committee, when he expressed the wish of the Ten that the Iranian Government should review its policy with regard to this minority group in the spirit of the International Convention on civil and political rights to which it is party.
Man har fra den amerikanske administrations side oplyst, at USA igen kan arbejde med i fuld udstrækning på et møde i begyndelsen af næste år.
The honourable Member can rest assured that the Ten will continue to keep a close eye on the situation of the Baha'i community in Iran.
»Vort mål forbliver selvfølgeligt det samme, og vi håber, at resultaterne af vort hindtidige arbejde ikke bringes i fare.
Mr Purvis. — Is the President of the Foreign Ministers meeting in political cooperation aware that three more Baha'is were executed on 29 April in Shiraz.
Det er efter vor opfattelse væsentligt, at vi nu som før kocentrerer vor indsats om færdiggørelse af konferencens arbejde så hurtigt som muligt.«
What direct repre­sentations have the Foreign Ministers made to the Iranian Government and authorities — not just by discussing it themselves, but by making representa­tions?
Spørgsmål nr. 19 af Hord (H-132/81) (')
President. — I call Question No 68, by Mr Tyrrell (H-109/81):
Om: Salg af Fællesskabets overskydende landbrugsprodukter til USSR.
We have discussed this matter in the Economic and Social Committee.
Det forlyder for det første, at der i 1980 er eksporteret 145 000 t smør og butter oil til USSR, og for det andet som svar på skriftlig forespørgsel nr. 1273/80 of Paisley til Kommissionen, at der er solgt overskydende landbrugsprodukter fra Fællesskabet til en værdi af 591 875 mio. ERE til USSR i første halvår af 1980 i sammenligning med et tal på 421 511 mio. ERE for hele 1979.
Do the Foreign Ministers consider that it would under­mine the strong stand that they have rightly taken in condemning international terrorism, if they permit their representatives to talk to a head of an organization which not only preaches terrorism but practises it with the avowed purpose of exterminating Israel, a friendly democratic State?
(') Tidligere mundtlig forespørgsel uden forhandling (0-3/81), ændret til et spørgsmål til spørgetiden.
Mr Van der Klaauw, President-in-Office of the Foreign Minister. — (NL) I should like to refer you to para­graph 11 of the declaration issued by the European
Hvad angår smør og butter oil var Fællesskabets gennemsnitlige eksport til Sovjetunionen i de tre år 1977—1979 70 000 t. I 1980 gav Kommissionen eksporttilladelser for ca. 59 000 t smør og butter oil til Sovjetunionen, hvilket er langt mindre end gennem snittet i de tre år.
Mr Israel. — (FR) Since you have met Mr Arafat, are you aware, Mr President, of the fact that the organization of which Mr Arafat is the head is a joint organization which includes a number of sub-organizations, and that some of these are overtly terrorist organizations which, together with other terrorist organizations, are sowing terror throughout Europe?
Man har ikke givet sådanne tilladelser siden maj 1980, og til trods for lempelsen i eksportforbudet agter Kommissionen ikke at udstede nogen tilladelse for smør og butter oil for øjeblikket.
Do you not think that the President of the Council is failing to take things seriously enough if he meets the head of an organization whose terrorist offshoots are dealing in death throughout Europe?
Grunden til, at omkring 104 000 t smør og 44 000 t butteroil blev afskibet til Sovjetunionen i 1980, som det fremgår af de seneste handelsstatistikker, er for det første, at nogle tilladelser udstedt før den 15. januar 1980 blev anvendt til denne eksport, og for det andet, at nogle tilladelser udstedt til eksport til andre bestemmelsessteder kan været blevet misbrugt.
Mr Tyrrell. — While considering the answer that has just been given, which of course just restates the view of the Council of Foreign Ministers that has stood for some time, may I draw attention to a new item of information, according to newspaper reports now emerging, namely that a representative of the Foreign Ministers meeting in political cooperation is to meet Yasser Arafat.
Hvad angår den budgetmæssige dænkning, vil jeg minde det ærede medlem om, at bevillingerne til mælkesektoren på 1980-budgettet ikke blev brugt op, og udgifterne var faktisk ca. 180 mio. ECU mindre end bevillingerne.
Almost every day Dutch UNIFIL soldiers come up against either terrorism on the part of the PLO, or infiltration from the south into the Lebanon, where they are stationed. We are very much aware of this and therefore also realize that it is vital that we should do all in our power in practical terms with a view to establishing peace in the Middle East.
Hvilke forslag har Kommissionen til bistandssatser eller faste bistandsbeløb til blinde i Fællesskabet?
Mr Moreland. — Would the President-in-Office tell us what discussions have been held on this particular issue with the PLO, with the Secretary of State Haig, and what differences exist between the Community's representatives and the Secretary of State of the United States?
Kommissionen agter ikke at stille forslag specielt om bistand til blinde.
Mrs Lizin. — (FR) I should like to thank the President of the Council for the statement he has just made.
Den har tidligere fremlagt forslag (som ikke blev gennemført) om at udvide den sociale sikring til de grupper af mennesker, der ikke er tilstrækkeligt dækket af de eksisterende sociale sikringsordninger (').
Unfortunately, following this meeting I think the two main interested parties, i.e. both Israel and the PLO, made a relatively negative statement regarding what response to make to the European initiative.
C 30 af 7. 2. 1977.

Om: Forhandlinger mellem Fællesskabet og »Andina-gruppen« med henblik på en rammeaftale.
Has this subject also been dealt with in your discussions and what was your answer, since I am certain that this was one of the major points in your talks.
Kommissionen bedes oplyse, hvorledes situationen for tiden er inden for forhandlingerne mellem Fællesskabet og »Andina-gruppen« med henblik på afslutning af en rammeaftale?
Mr Van der Klaauw. — (NL) In answer to the first question, i.e. whether I take an optimistic or pessimistic view, I should like to say that I take a realistic view. This is, I think, all I can say.
Som Kommissionen allerede har haft lejlighed til at meddele denne ærede forsamling, blev forhandlingerne med Andes-pagdandene om indgåelse af en samarbejdsaftale afbrudt i juli 1980 efter statskuppet i Bolivia.
Secondly, Mr Brezhnev's proposal to convene a conference naturally came up in my discussions with Mr Arafat, and it was in fact he who brought the matter up.
Der er endnu ikke blevet fastsat en dato for genoptagelse af disse forhandlinger.
In my view, a conference of this kind would certainly not help us find a solution at this stage.
Spørgsmål nr. 22 af Kappos (H-62/81)
Such a conference must, I think, wait until the final stage.
Om: Alvorlig krænkelse af arbejdstagernes grundlæggende fagforeningsrettigheder.
Mrs Lizin. — (FR) Does this mean that, in the opinion of the President of the Council, political cooperation is not competent in matters of this kind?
Er den endvidere bekendt med, at der i dette tal indgår ca. 80 medlemmer af den græske luftfartsindustris forbund såvel som samtlige medlemmer af forbundets ledelse?
Mr Lomas. — May I take it that the President-in-Office agrees that, whether we like the policies of the PLO and Yasser Arafat or not, or whether we like the policies of the Israeli Government ar not — and I do not like the terrorist acts of the Israelis any more than Mr Tyrrell likes the PLO — the facts of life are that both the Israeli Government and the PLO will have to be included in any discussion for a peaceful settle ment?
Finder Kommissionen ikke, at disse afskedigelser udgør en alvorlig krænkelse af arbejdstagernes grundlæggende fagforeningsrettigheder?
President. — Since its author is absent, Question No 70 will receive a written reply.1
På grund af mangelen på mere præcise oplysninger om de afskedigelser, der skal have fundet sted i Grækenland i 1980, og som skyldtes de pågældende arbejdstageres fagforeningsvirksomhed, er det ikke muligt for Kommissionen at fremsætte en velbegrundet udtalelse om de begivenheder, det ærede medlem henviser til.
I should like to thank the President-in-Office of the Council for his answers, not only for the fact that it has never before happened that we have got through all the questions, but also for the fact that Question Time today has been rather more lively than we have recently come to expect.
På retsplan yder gældende lov i Grækenland beskyttelse mod afskedigelser, der er begrundet i den pågældende ansattes fagforeningsvirksomhed.
Mr Schinzel. — (DE) Mr President-in-Office, can you confirm that views such as those expressed in Mr Tyrelt's question have in the past in fact prevented any dialogue in the Middle East and that we — including those Europeans who thought along the same lines as Mr Tyrell — have contributed towards the violence which takes place there every day?
Spørgsmål nr. 23 af Buttafuoco (H-74/81)
Question No 5, by Mr Balfe (H-840/80)
Om; Fornyelse af fiskeriaftalen mellem Italien og Tunesien.
Subject: Level of the Green Pound'
Fiskeriaftalen mellem Italien og Tunesien udløb den 19. juni 1979, og det hører under Fællesskabets kompetenceområde at forny den.
It is estimated that because of the level of the 'Green Pound', Britain's budgetary contributions to the EEC will be increased by about £250 000 000.
Kan Kommissionen oplyse grundene til udsættelsen af indgåelsen af en ny fiske riaftale mellem Italien og Tunesien?
Can the Commission confirm that this money will be repaid to the British Treasury under the agreement of May 1980?
