Er De ikke enig i, at vi af hensyn til god embedsudøvelse og god lovgivning for borgerne burde tale direkte med hinanden i stedet for at forlade os på, at en tredjepart skal formidle oplysningerne imellem os?
Do you not agree that we ought, in the interests of good government, good legisla­tion for the citizen, to talk directly to each other rather than relying on some third party to pass the information between us?
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Som jeg sagde i mit svar til et andet medlem, kan jeg ikke fuldt ud tilslutte mig, at man beskriver Rådet som værende slet og ret et lovgivende organ.
GAREL JONES. — As I said in reply to a previous Member, I do not think I entirely accept the description of the Council as a legislative body tout simple.
Det er mere end det.
It is more than that.
Jeg er sikker på, at hvis vi indtager en fornuftig holdning til dette, så vil de fleste af vore medborgere og i hvert fald de fleste medlemmer af Parlamentet kunne forstå dette.
I am confident that if we have a mature approach to this that most of our fellow citizens and certainly most Members of this House will appreciate the situation.
Når de selv er aktive politikere, må de af og til deltage i møder — hvad enten det er møder i deres egen gruppe, eller hvad det nu er — som ikke er hemmelige, men simpelt hen afholdes i fortrolighed. Det samme gælder det, som medlemsstater­ne har at drøfte med hinanden.
As active politicians themselves, they will occasionally attend meetings — whether they be meet­ings of their group or whatever — that are not secret but simply private.
Jeg tror, at hvis vi ser på dette på en fornuftig måde, så vil det være muligt at finde en balance mellem den større grad af åbenhed og en mulighed for, at Rådet og medlemsstaterne kan føre de nødvendige forhandlinger i fortrolighed.
I think if we approach this in a mature way it will be possible to find a balance between a greater degree of openness and a capacity for the Council and for Member States to do the sort of negotiating that they need to do in private.
FORMANDEN. — Spørgsmål nr. 3 af Piermont (H­1065/92):
Question No 3 by Mrs Piermont (H-
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Som det ærede medlem ved, har jeg aldrig accepteret den påstand, at Rådet mødes i hemmelighed, og det gør jeg fortsat ikke.
GAREL JONES. — As my honourable friend knows, I have never accepted and do not accept that the Council meets in secret.
Rådet mødes i fortrolighed.
The Council meets privately.
Der er forskel på de to ting.
There is a distinction between the two.
Desuden er Rådet — og det er en del af den enestående konstruktion, vi er ved at opbygge i Europa — ikke bare en lovgivende myndighed. Det haren lovgivende rolle, men jeg mener, det er alt for forenklet blot at beskrive Rådet som en lovgivende magt.
Also, the Council — and this is part of the unique construction that we are building in Europe — is not just a legislature.
Til sidst, når man er nået frem til den fælles holdning, bliver Parlamentet naturligvis fuldt ud underrettet.
Finally, of course, when the common position is arrived at, then Parliament is fully informed.
Rådet erklærede i sit svar af 16. september 1992 på spørgsmål H­0827/92 (') om skærpelse af den ame­rikanske blokade mod Cuba, at EF ikke kan accepte­re den eksterritoriale udvidelse af USA's jurisdik­tion, og at det forbeholder sig yderligere forholdsre­gler mod den amerikanske regering.
In its answer of 16 September 1992 to my Oral Question H-0827/92 (') on the tightening of the US blockade against Cuba, the Council noted that the European Community could not accept any extra­territorial extension of US jurisdiction beyond its national territory and reserved the right to take further measures against the US administration.
Hvilke yderligere forholdsregler overvejer Rådet at træffe?
— What further measures does the Council have in mind?
Påtænkes også retlige skridt og i givet fald hvilke?
But I agree with my honourable friend.
Det er ofte meget vanskeligt, når vi får at vide, at ét medlem af Rådet rejste indvendinger, og vi så må forsøge at gætte, hvem det var.
Both the Council and the Heads of Government at the Birmingham summit highlighted the need for greater transparency in the workings of the Council.
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Jeg kan se, hvad det er, det ærede medlem vil sige.
Details of how this commitment can be translated into action are now being discussed.
De fleste medlemmer af Rådet erkender nødvendigheden af større gennemskuelighed.
The outcome of the exercise is likely to mean that it will be easier for Parliament to keep in touch with the Council's business.
Vanskeligheden består i at finde den rette balance mellem en rimelig gennemskuelighed, hvad angår Rådets drøftel­ser, og et passende niveau af fortrolighed. Det vil ikke være undgået de tilstedeværende medlemmers opmærk­somhed, at når Fællesskabet gør fremskridt, sker det ved, at medlemsstaterne undertiden må indgå vanskelige kompromiser, og sådanne kompromiser kan undertiden bedst indgås i fortrolighed.
I also hope it will mean that there will be a greater degree of openness about some aspects of the Council's work, compatible, of course, with the necess­ary privacy of discussions where negotiation and com­promise take place, which I think should rightly take place in private.
Rådet vil nøje se på ethvert forslag, som Kommissionen måtte udarbejde herom.
— Are legal measures also being considered, and if so, what are they?
EPHREMIDIS (CG). — (GR) Jeg vil bede repræsentan­ten for Rådet præcisere, hvad han mener, når han siger, at en del af Rådets arbejde er fortroligt?
BALFE (S). — I wonder whether the President-in-Office would agree that when we have reports of Council deliberations, it would make it much easier for us to

PIERMONT uopsættelige debat at fremsætte et beslutningsforslag vedrørende Torricelli-lovforslaget har jeg nu modtaget en protestskrivelse fra en større sammenslutning af kanariske og spanske borgere, som har nære forbindelser til Republikken Cuba — mange cubanere er udvandret fra De Kanariske Øer — hvori de protesterer mod den negative holdning fra Det Europæiske Fællesskabs side, mere konkret Kommissionen, til at yde humanitær bistand til et folk, som gennemlever en kritisk periode.
SANCHEZ GARCIA (ARC). — (ES) Mr President-in-Office of the Council, as a citizen born in the Canary Islands I could not fail to take advantage of this opportunity of discussing Cuba to say that, after many fruitless attempts to present a motion for a resolution on the Torriccelli law in an emergency debate, I have now received a protest from a large group of Canaries citizens, Spanish citizens who have close connections with the Republic of Cuba — many Cubans being descendants of emigrants from our islands.
Hvad er Rådets holdning hertil?
What is your opinion on this?
PIERMONT (ARC). — (DE) Hr. rådsformand, jeg ville gerne have hørt mere om, hvad De agter at gøre i fremtiden.
PIERMONT (ARC). — (DE) Mr President, I should like to have heard rather more about what the President-in-Office of the Council intends to do in future.
Der er jo forskellige ting, man kan forestille sig, f.eks. inden for rammerne af GATT eller OECD.
Various steps would be possible, for example in the framework of GATT or the OECD.
Vi har just i disse hellige haller talt om behandlingen af virksomheder fra tredjelande i Fællesskabet.
We have been speaking earlier in this House of the treatment in the EC of firms from third countries.
Det gælder inden for rammerne af OECD i ganske særlig grad virksomheder fra De Forenede Stater.
That applies, in the GATT context, particularly to firms from the USA.
Hvis de venter af os, at vi skal behandle deres virksomheder ligesom vore egne, altså som virksomheder, der er hjemmehørende i Fællesskabet, så må det naturligvis omvendt også administreres sådan. Det ville være en ramme, inden for hvilken man kunne handle.
If the Americans expect us to treat their firms as if they were EC firms, in other words as if they had their head offices in the Community, then the reverse would also have to be the case.
Jeg har allerede nævnt GATT.
GATT would be another.
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Jeg tror, det ærede medlem udtrykker Fællesskabets holdning helt klart.
GAREL JONES. — I think the honourable Member expresses the sentiments of the Community quite accurately.
Fælles skabet støtter stærkt ethvert initiativ i retning af demokrati på Cuba, men vi mener ikke, at de handelsinitiativer, som De Forenede Stater har taget, er passende.
The Community strongly supports any steps towards democracy in Cuba, but we believe that the trading actions taken by the United States are improper.
Det spørgsmål, det ærede medlem rejser om et uopsætteligt beslutningsforslag her i Parlamentet, er naturligvis noget, der henhører under Parlamentet og ikke under Rådet eller Kommissionen.
The question the honourable Member raises about an urgency resolution here in this Parliament would of course be a matter for Parliament and not for the Council or the Commission.
Hvordan ville det være med initiativer inden for rammer ne af OAS?
What about initiatives in the Organization of American States?
Endvidere nævnte De netop lande, der allerede selv har taget initiativer. Deres eget land er måske et eksempel herpå.
The President-in-Office just referred to countries which have already taken action independently.
Allerede i 1980 vedtog De loven om beskyttelse af handelsinteresser og udsteder nu en forordning til gennemførelse af denne lovgivning.
His own country is perhaps an example: it adopted the Protection of Trading Interests Act in 1980 and has now issued an order implementing that Act.
Kan De ikke forestille Dem, at også andre medlemsstater og i givet fald Fællesskabet kunne tage lignende skridt?
Could he not imagine similar steps being taken by other Member States or indeed by the European Community itself?
EPHREMIDIS (CG). — (GR) Jeg har forstået af rådsformandens gentagne svar, at Fællesskabet ikke bifalder den amerikanske regerings og dens lovgivende forsamlingers fremgangsmåde...
EPHREMIDIS (CG). — (GR) From the successive answers given by the President-in-Office of the Council, I gather the Community does not approve of this procedure by the American Administration and its legislative bodies.... ies....
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Det ærede medlem har ganske ret.
GAREL JONES. — The honourable Member is quite right.
Det Forenede Kongeriges regering har allerede i henhold til sine egne love taget initiativer i form af loven om beskyttelse af handelsinteresser for at forhindre, at Det Forenede Kongerige retter sig efter denne lov.
The United Kingdom Government has already taken action under its domestic legislation, the Protection of Trading Interests Act, to prevent compliance in the United Kingdom with this act.
Vi mener ikke, at dette har nogen virkning i forbindelse med Uruguay-Runden, som Fællesskabet, som det ærede medlem vil vide, er forpligtet til snart at træffe beslutning om.
We do not believe that there is any real connection with the Uruguay Round for which, as the honourable Member will know, the Com munity is committed to an early resolution.
Og selv om Rådet og Kommissionen faktisk aktivt overvejer de næste skridt, der skal tages, forekommer det os, at vejen frem, i det mindste på kort sigt, er, at de enkelte medlemsstater tager initiativer som det, Det Forenede Kongeriges regering har taget.
And whilst it is certainly the case that the Council and the Commission are actively considering the next steps to be taken, it seems to us at least in the short term that the way forward is for individual Member States to take action along the lines of that taken by, for example, the United Kingdom Government.
PIERMONT (ARC). — (DE) Hr. formand, til forretningsordenen.
PRESIDENT. — Mr Ephremidis, I am very sorry but I cannot give you the floor.
De sagde lige, at De kunne give ordet til tre medlemmer og spørgeren. Indtil nu er der kun to ud over mig selv, der har haft ordet, så derfor mener jeg, at jeg måske også kan stille to spørgsmål.
The Rules of Procedure are clear: I can give the floor to three Members, the author of the question once — and I will not allow her to speak a second time even though she wishes to — and two other Members whom I have already chosen.
Det vil jeg gerne gøre nu. Mit spørgsmål er rettet til hr. Garel Jones.
What you are trying to do is put a third question, which is not allowed under the Rules.
BALFE (S). — (EN) Må jeg have lov at presse rådsformanden lidt mere.
BALFE (S). — Can I press the President-in-Office slightly further.
Vi bør da først være helt klare over, at dette eren uacceptabel måde at varetage de internationale handelsforbindelser på, for det, der gælder Cuba i dag, kan gælde Vietnam, Cambodia og andre lande i morgen.
Surely we should firstly be quite clear that this is an unacceptable way of conducting interna tional trade relations, because what applies to Cuba today could apply to Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries tomorrow.
For det andet så er dette da et område, hvor den beskyttelse, der følger af en afgørelse på fællesskabsplan, vil være langt stærkere end at overlade det til de enkelte medlemsstater, når de, i særdeleshed nogle af de mindre, kan føle, at de har vanskeligt ved at rette sig efter dette, men ville kunne gøre det, hvis de havde støtte fra hele Fællesskabet.
Secondly, surely this is one area where the protection afforded by a Community-wide ruling would be much stronger than leaving it to individual Member States, where they, particularly some of the smaller ones,
FORMANDEN. — Der har været tre tillægsspørgsmål.
PIERMONT (ARC). — (DE) Mr President, on a point of order.
Et fra spørgeren —jeg har allerede givet hende ordet, og hun har stillet spørgsmålet — og to mere.
You have just said that you can give the floor to three Members and the questioner.
Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Larive (H-1088/92):
They are addressed to Mr Garel Jones.
Om: Euratomforsyningsagenturet
I did not speak of drawing up a resolution on GATT, but of accusing the United States in the framework of GATT...
GAREL JONES hjælp til den tidligere Sovjetunion, så den kunne udvikle sine vedvarende energikilder.
As you said, in Chapter VI the EURATOM Supply Agency had to provide a regular supply of uranium for the Community but that was when uranium was in short supply.
Det er ikke praktisk for Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater at købe alle lagrene af naturligt og beriget uran fra staterne i den tidligere Sovjetunion.
It is not practical for the Community and its Member States to purchase all the stocks of natural and enriched uranium from the states of the former Soviet Union.
Den tidligere Sovjetunion er naturligvis en af de vigtigste producenter af uran.
The former Soviet Union is of course a major producer of uranium.
Det anslås, at der alene i 1991 blev produceret 10500 tons uran dér.
It is estimated that in 1991 alone 10,500 tonnes of uranium were produced there.
Inden for rammerne af Fælles skabets handels- og samarbejdsaftale med Sovjetunionen, underskrevet i 1989, forhandler Det Europæiske Atomenergifællesskab nu om en handelsaftale om nukleare stoffer med Rusland, der vil styre fællesskabskraftværkers opkøb af nukleart materiale fra Rusland.
Under the umbrella of the European Community's trade and cooperation agreement with the Soviet Union, signed in 1989, the European Atomic Energy Community is now negotiating a nuclear trade agreement with the Russian Federation which will govern the purchase of nuclear materials from Russia by Community utilities.
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Det ærede medlem er nok opmærksom på, ikke mindst fordi han selv var aktiv deltager, at vi tidligere på dagen havde en debat om flytning af atombrændsel.
GAREL JONES.- The honourable Member will be aware, not least because he took an active part himself, that we had a debate earlier on today about the movement of nuclear fuel.
Den konklusion, jeg drog af den debat, og jeg håber, Parlamentet i almindelighed og det ærede medlem i særdeleshed gjorde det samme, var. at den overvågning, der finder sted ved transport af disse stoffer inden for Fællesskabet, er både sikker og betryggende.
The conclusion that I drew from that debate, and that I hope the House in general and the honourable Member drew, was that the supervision that exists for the transport of these materials within the Community is both safe and secure.
Det varden konklusionjeg kom til, og jeg mente faktisk, at det var den konklusion, debatten førte frem til.
That was the conclusion that I came to and I rather was of the opinion that it was the conclusion that the debate led us to.
FORMANDEN. — Spørgsmål nr. 5 af Vayssade (H1063/92):
PRESIDENT. — Question No 5 by Mrs Vayssade (H-1063/92)
Om: Forslag til forordning om forhøjelse af efterladtepensionen for tjenestemænd ved De Europæiske Fællesskaber
Subject: Proposal for a regulation concerning the raising of the rate of pensions paid to survivors of officials of the European Communities
I forbindelse med forhandlingerne om metoden for tilpasning af vederlagene foreslog Kommissionen en forhøjelse af efterladtepensionen fra 60 til 70% af den pension, som den pensionsberettigede fik udbetalt.
Within the framework of negotiations on the method for adjusting remunerations, the Commission pro posed that the survivor's pension be raised from 60 to 70% of the pension to which the official was entitled.
Parlamentet godkendte dette forslag den 12. december 1991, men det oprindelige forslag er blokeret i Rådet.
Parliament adopted this proposal on 12 December 1991, but the initial proposal is being blocked by the Council.
LARIVE (LDR). — (EN) Jeg takker rådsformanden for hans svar, men udkastet til handelsaftalen om nukleare stoffer mellem Rusland og Fællesskabet gav Euratomforsyningsagenturet arbitrære beføjelser til at forhindre import af russisk uran, beføjelser, som den ikke har i henhold til Euratom-Traktaten.
LARIVE (LDR). — I am grateful to the President-in-Office for his reply, but the draft trade agreement on nuclear materials between the Russian Federation and the Community gave the EURATOM Supply Agency arbitrary powers to prevent the import of Russian uranium, powers which the EURATOM Treaty does not authorise.
Er Rådet opmærksomt på, at betingelserne i denne aftale går stik imod Ruslands behov og Fællesskabets ønske om at forøge samhandelen med SNG-landene samt mod de europæiske forbrugeres interesser?
Is the Council aware that the terms of the agreement run counter to the needs of Russia, to the Community's wish to increase trade with CIS countries and to the interests of European consumers?
Er den klar over faren for, at SNG-landenes uraneksport som følge heraf kan blive rettet mod mindre pålidelige brugere i tredjeverdenslande?
Is it aware of the dangers that CIS uranium exports may in consequence be directed to less dependable users in third countries?
Hvor giver Traktaten agenturet beføjelser — det vil jeg gerne have et konkret svar på — til at afslå import af uran fra én bestemt kilde på basis af lave priser, sådan som det gør?
Where does the treaty entitle the agency — and I would like a concrete answer on this — to refuse to import uranium from a particular source on the basis of low price, as it is doing?
Vil Rådet give tilsagn om, at det vil se positivt på dette forslag i betragtning af hensigtserklæringerne af 4. november og 19. december 1991 og af, at tjenestemændenes bidrag til finansieringen af pen sionsordningen forhøjes fra 6,75% til 8,25% af grundlønnen fra 1. januar 1993?
In view of the declarations of good intent it gave on 4 November and 19 December 1991 and the fact that the rate of staff contributions to the pension scheme is to be raised from 6.75% to 8.25% of the basic salary from 1 January 1993, will the Council give its approval to this part of the proposal?
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Jeg tror ikke, jeg er enig i, at beføjelserne er arbitrære.
GAREL JONES. — I do not think I would agree that the powers are arbitrary.
De skal naturligvis være i overensstemmelse med Euratom-Traktaten og aftalen mellem EF og USSR.
They have of course to be consistent with the EURATOM Treaty and with the EC/USSR Agreement.
Jeg kan bestemt tilslutte mig det ærede medlems målsætning om, at vi ikke ønsker eller forsøger at forhindre den tidligere Sovjetunion eller stater heri i at engagere sig i rigtig handel.
I certainly agree with the honourable Member's objectives that we would not wish or seek to prevent the former Soviet Union or states in the former Soviet Union from engaging in proper commercial transactions.
Må jeg blot tilføje, at kapitel 6 i Euratom-Traktaten giver Euratomforsyningsagenturet, der virker under generelt tilsyn fra Kommissionen, ansvaret for at sikre en fortsat og sikker anvendelse af nukleare stoffer for Fællesskabet, og i denne forbindelse må det naturligvis tage hensyn til bestemmelserne i samarbejdsaftalen fra 1989, som jeg lige har nævnt, og hvor der opfordres til handel til markedsrelaterede priser.
Can I just add that Chapter VI of the EURATOM Treaty gives the EURATOM Supply Agency, operating under the general supervision of the Commission, responsibility for ensuring the continuing and secure supply of nuclear materials to the Community and in doing that, it naturally has regard to the provisions of the 1989 Coop eration Agreement which I have just referred to and which calls for trade to be at market-related prices.
GAREL JONES, formand for Rådet. — (EN) I overens stemmelse med det løfte. Rådet gav i december 1991 om fordomsfrit og åbent at undersøge alle forslag, der blev fremlagt af Kommissionen angående spørgsmålet om efterladtepension, har Rådet set meget nøje på denne sag.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of the Council. — In accordance with the undertaking it had given in December 1991, "to examine on their merits and in a spirit of openness any proposals presented by the Com mission on the subject of survivors' pensions", the Council has given this matter particular attention.
I særdeleshed på basis af de oplysninger, som Kommissionen og delegationerne er fremkommet med, har den foretaget en sammenlignende analyse af satserne for enkepensioner i de forskellige medlemsstater og under Fællesskabet.
In particular on the basis of information supplied by the Commission and the delegations, it has carried out a comparative analysis of the rate of widows' pensions applicable in the various Member States and under the Community system.
GAREL JONES, formand for Rådet. — (EN) Formand skabet fortsætter sine bestræbelser på at løse de sidste udestående problemer.
So far as the report that he refers to by the Court of Auditors is concerned — I am not myself aware of it but assuming, as he says it does, that it exists — it would, of course, be a matter for the Commission to examine whatever was contained in that report.
tror ikke. man løser problemet ved hele tiden at se på medlemslandene, men ved at finde en særlig ordning for de offentligt ansatte på EF-plan. Jeg vil bede formand skabet om at tage de aktuelle problemer op igen og forsøge at indkredse dem, så det kan bevise sin vilje til en åbning over for de offentligt ansatte.
rate of Community officials survivors' pensions were on average higher than those paid in Member States and in other international organizations and that in addition, minimum thresholds had been set which protected the families of officials who died while in active employment without having accumulated sufficient pension rights.
Vil formandskabet foretage sig noget før forhøjelsen på 1,5% af bidragene til pensionsordningen, som er fastsat til den 1 Januar 1993?
In view of this, in the absence of an agreement and bearing in mind the willingness expressed by most delegations to seek a solution acceptable to all sides, the Commission has announced its intention of exploring the possibility of taking other initiatives.
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Jeg er det ærede medlem taknemmelig for den måde, hun formulerede dette spørgsmål på.
PRESIDENT. — Question No 6 by Mr Robles Piquer (H-0984/92)
