De militære aspekter udelukkes altså. Af denne grund udtaler jeg mig med forsigtighed, når det drejer sig om militære spørgsmål.
Have the Foreign Ministers meeting in political cooperation taken any action in this specific case or in various other recent similar cases in Turkey?
Hvad angår besvarelsen af det ærede medlems spørgsmål, er det mig magtpåliggende at sige, at De Tolv anser kontrol med oprustningen og afrustning for et højt prioriteret mål, der skal nås på grundlag af afbalancerede og verificerbare aftaler, der kan skabe større sikkerhed for alle.
TAYLOR (DR). — The questioner, Mr Muru, is to be congratulated in drawing the attention of the House to the fact that the Turkish authorities have indeed prosecuted the six police officers in question. Would the President-in-Office not agree that since the election of the civilian government, led by Mr Ozal, there has been a much more determined effort by the Turkish authorities to prosecute any members of the security forces alleged to be involved in torture.
I den sammenhæng tillægger de overholdelse af forpligtelser i henhold til gældende aftaler den største betydning.
Would he not also confirm that there have been no death sentences carried out since the election of that government?
Hvad det øvrige angår, vedrører det stillede spørgsmål militære aspekter af sikkerhedsproblematikken, der som bekendt ikke henhører under det europæiske politiske samarbejdes område.
Would he confirm that the foreign ministers meeting in political cooperation welcome the major advance on human rights in Turkey since the election of the civilian government?
McMahon (S). — (EN) Til forretningsordenen, hr. formand, jeg har set spørgsmålene igennem og opdaget, at hr. Tindemans har hoppet frem og tilbage mel lem de forskellige spørgsmål.
TINDEMANS. — (FR) I have to speak on behalf of the Twelve meeting in political cooperation.
Der er 10 spørgsmål om Nicaragua og Guatemala-konferencen. Der er 45 spørgsmål om Tyrkiet.
As I have said, there is evidence that Turkey is making progress in its resolve to respect human rights.
Kunne det udvidede præsidium ikke overveje at samle spørgsmålene i grupper, så vi ikke får det sammensurium, vi har nu?
I cannot go further in my statement today, since I am replying on behalf of the Twelve.
Newens (S). — (EN) Jeg ville gerne spørge, om ministrene aldrig drøfter de politiske konsekvenser af militære og sikkerhedspolitiske beslutninger, og om disse beslutninger under disse omstændigheder er helt fritaget fra demokratisk kontrol?
TINDEMANS, President-in-Office of the Foreign Ministers. — (FR) The Twelve are keeping a close watch on developments in the situation in Turkey with regard to respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and progress towards democracy.
For så vidt angår de nationale parlamenter, kan folk formodentlig stille nogle af spørgsmålene, men man risikerer, at disse spørgsmål ikke bliver behandlet.
In the statement on human rights that they issued on 21 July 1986 they made clear that respect for human rights is an important element in their relations with non-member countries.
Finder ministeren det ikke højst utilfredsstillende, at der træffes beslutninger om disse emner, uden at vi har ret til at stille spørgsmål til dem på alle planer?
They appealed to all States to raise public awareness of the human rights cause.
Hvis Sovjetunionen havde brudt SALT li-aftalen, er jeg sikker på, at der er mange her, som ville have benyttet lejligheden til at fordømme det.
The cases mentioned by the Honourable Member of the European Parliament have not been discussed by the Member States' Foreign Ministers meeting in political cooperation.
Vi burde derfor gøre det samme, når det er De forenede Stater, der er den skyldige part.
But it goes without saying that the Twelve are particularly concerned about the reports reaching them of cases of torture in Turkey.
Formanden. — Deres bemærkning vil naturligvis blive taget i betragtning ved den næste tilrettelæggelse af spørgetiden.
HABSBURG (PPE). — (FR) May I ask you, since the United Nations has ended its survey on human rights and has been unwilling to continue it, whether it would not be time for the Twelve to meet once again on the Turkish issue, to establish what progress has been made by Turkey and to see whether it would not now be appropriate to broaden our approach to this country, which, after all, has a number of agreements with us?
Ephremidis (COM). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne takke ministeren for hans svar og navnlig for hans understregning af den opmærksomhed, det politiske samarbejde viser over for spørgsmål om nedrustning og fred.
TINDEMANS. — (FR) The question raised by the Honourable Member is discussed regularly by the Twelve, and only recently, at the meeting concerned with the association agreement with Turkey, it was discussed in the presence of the Turkish Foreign Minister. ister.
Jeg vil spørge ministeren : Var beslutningen om undertegnelsen af SALT II- aftalen ikke en politisk begivenhed?
I am not going to ask another specific question, just a general question, but one which is a little more positive.
Derfor har De også til fulde kompetence inden for dette spørgsmål, idet De i det politiske samarbejde forhandler Dem frem til den holdning hos De Tolv såvel til internationale som til interne politiske spørgsmål i Fælles skabet.
Mr President, what do you see as the most important points on which the concern of the Council of Ministers meeting in the framework of Political Cooperation is finding a favourable reception?
Har De derfor drøftet sagen og truffet nogen beslutning om, hvorledes De skal reagere med hensyn til denne krænkelse?
And on what specific points are the Foreign Ministers encountering greatest resistance in the area of the defence of human rights?
Tindemans. — (FR) De ved, at jeg altid skelner mel lem Parlamentets prærogativer og Rådets rolle og kompetenceområder.
TINDEMANS. — (FR) As I have indicated, the Twelve have found that their calls to respect human rights have indeed already had a positive effect and that progress has been made.
Jeg skal ikke blande mig i Par lamentets aktiviteter.
Let me cite three examples of the evidence in which we have reached this conclusion: the Turkish Parliament elected in November 1983 is closely monitoring the human rights situation.
Men for De Tolvs vedkommende ved De, at militære spørgsmål aldrig er faldet inden for det politiske samarbejdes kompetenceom-
It has set up a parliamentary committee which has carried out systematic surveys in the prisons and police stations. Finally, the Turkish press is also very
Boesmans (S). — (NL) Jeg finder det en meget interessant debat, der også med henblik på fremtiden utvivlsomt kan være vigtig for os.
EPHREMIDIS (COM). — (GR) I ask for a specific answer on the basis of the questions put by our colleague.
Derfor ville jeg gerne have en præcisering med hensyn til de eventuelt politiske aspekter ved visse militære aktiviteter.
Is it, or is it not the case that torture is practised under the Junta which rules Turkey today? That was the question, and we have not been answered.
Jeg spekulerer på, om en eventuelt overholdelse af en aftale udelukkende er et militært spørgsmål, eller om det også har politiske konsekvenser.
On behalf of Political Cooperation, and on the basis of convincing statistics, can the President-in-Office tell us that the torture has come to an end?
Må vi derfor ikke drage de politiske konsekvenser af en eventuel overholdelse af en militær/politisk aftale?
And we cannot accept that the situ ation has improved, nor does it satisfy us that some committee of the Turkish Parliament 'is monitoring the situation', or that Political Cooperation is doing likewise.
Formanden. — Spørgetiden er afsluttet (') (2).
TINDEMANS. — (FR) As I said earlier, the Twelve are paying very close attention to the reports reaching them of cases of torture in Turkey.

Question No 72 by Mr Marshall (H-681/86):
( > ) Se bilag »Spørgetid«.
Subject: The plight of elderly refuseniks
(2) Nedsættelse af et midlertidigt udvalg
They have raised this issue on numerous occasions in their contacts with the Soviet authorities, and will continue to do so.
Tindemans. — (NL) Det ærede medlem siger selv: »en eventuel overholdelse af en militær aftale«.
CASSIDY (ED). — I would like to thank the President-in-Office for that full -and encouraging answer to the question.
Ved at formulere det sådan, gør han det umuligt for mig at give et svar.
Does the President-in-Office agree?
I mit svar til hr. Ephremidis sagde jeg: »de tillægger overholdelse af forpligtelser i henhold til gældende aftaler den største betydning«.
We would thus be working within a set time and at least there would be coherence in this debate, which would be in line with the guidelines for the con duct of Question Time, and in any event it would be logical and sensible.
Jeg me ner, at jeg dermed, allerede inden spørgsmålet her blev stillet af forskellige medlemmer, havde givet et svar.
PRESIDENT. — Mrs Dury, this is Question Time not a debate and it is for the President to organize and group the questions as he sees fit.
I. Spørgsmål til Kommissionen
Jews living abroad.
Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Escuder Croft (H-296/86)
The number of visas issued in January this year was 170.
Hvad er det nøjagtige indhold af Kommissionens forslag til Rådet om tilpasning af ordningen for De kanariske Øer i overensstemmelse med indholdet af art. 25 i akten om Spaniens tiltrædelse af De euro pæiske Fællesskaber?
has acknowledged the existance of political cooperation, addressing the President to convey its views on an international conference on peace in the Middle East. These are zwo events which, in my view, were worth drawing your attention to.
Den særlige ordning for De kanariske Øer blev allerede behandlet indgående i sidste plenarmødes spørge tid.
With this new Soviet policy, it would doubtless be pre mature to anticipate any radical change in the right to emigrate.
Hr. Narjes kunne ved den lejlighed overbevise det ærede medlem, hr. Escuder Croft, om, at Kommissionen ved udarbejdelsen af forslag til Rådet i vid udstrækning har taget hensyn til vanskelighederne inden for landbrugssektoren i dette område af Fællesskabet.
Nevertheless, these latest figures that I have quoted, and a number of spectacular releases (Begun, for instance), suggest that there are more solid grounds for hoping to see significant improvements in respect for human rights in this area.
Det er en kendsgerning, at den fælles landbrugspolitik ikke gælder her, men Kommissionen er principielt gået ud fra, at De kanariske Øer som en del af Fællesskabet ikke må behandles dårligere end et tredje land.
As I indicated in my initial answer to this question, the CSCE, the Con ference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, provides a particularly suitable forum for the Twelve to keep up constant pressure on the Soviet authorities on this issue.
Kommissionen vil snarest fremlægge forslag for Rådet om en forordning om gennemførelse i praksis af denne stillingtagen.
This conference was organized as a follow-on from the Stockholm Conference, which in turn stemmed from the Helsinki Final Act.
Kommissionen kan meddele det ærede parlamentsmedlem, at dette forslag især omfatter følgende forholdsregler: regler:
It is therefore primarily in Vienna that the Twelve, work ing together in political cooperation, should raise the topic that we have been discussing here this afternoon.
— forhøjelse af visse i tiltrædelsestraktaten fastsatte kontingenter,
I said that in our bilateral contacts, naturally, we try to bring a certain amount of pressure to bear.
— genoptagelse og forbedring af præferenceordningen for 16 produkter, som faldt ind under den tidligere aftale mellem Fællesskabet og Spanien, og som ikke er blevet medtaget i tiltrædelsestraktaten,
The Twelve, as such, do likewise and, as I have just said, at the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Vienna, the Twelve also raised this issue, which is part of one of the three baskets of topics under discussion. cussion.
— anvendelse af en toldpræferenceordning for 7 nye produkter for at fremme en yderligere diversifikation af produktionen på De kanariske Øer.
VAN AERSSEN (PPE). — (DE) This afternoon we had a very intensive debate on human rights on the basis of a report which was generally approved by this House.
Kommissionen mener, at Rådets stillingtagen og de kommende forslag i tilstrækkelig grad tager hensyn til De kanariske Øer interesser.
COTTRELL (ED). — Would Mr Tindemans care to elaborate on this matter in the light of what appears to be tentative steps by the Soviet Union to establish for mal contacts with the European Community?
Om : Kvaliteten af hård hvede
This is the general thrust of his question.
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, om og hvornår den agter at opfylde den forpligtelse, den påtog sig ifølge kompromisforslaget i Luxembourg om fastsættelse af landbrugspriserne for produktionsåret 1986-87, til at fastsætte kvaliteten af hård hvede, og ligeledes om den vil yde finansiel støtte til transport af hård græsk hvede fra Grækenland til afsides områder af Fællesskabet, som det i øvrigt var aftalt?
Well, I can tell the Honourable Member that not a single political cooperation meeting goes by without the issue of respect for human rights being raised, whether in a given country, or in general terms, or in the context of the programme to be advanced in Vienna, at the CSCE.
Efter fastsættelsen af landbrugspriserne 1986/87 har Kommissionen som aftalt udarbejdet den omtalte undersøgelse af kvaliteten af hård hvede.
The Twelve devote a great deal of attention to this matter, and since it also has a bearing on their own credibility, whether in a bilateral context such as the one to which you have alluded, the visit by Mr Lubbers to Moscow for instance, or in that of a confer-
Det skal fremhæves, at der i de nye prisforslag for produktionsåret 1987/88 allerede som vejledning er angivet vigtige elementer, som bør bibeholdes i det fremtidige system vedrørende kvaliteten af den hårde hvede.
On the eve of our political cooperation meet ing of 23 February devoted to analysis of the situation in the Middle East, I received a message from Mr Gorbachev, addressed to the President of the Council meeting in political cooperation.
Hvad angår spørgsmålet om finansiel støtte til transportudgifter, mener Kommissionen, at en sådan afsætningepræmie ikke passer ind i Fællesskabets markedsordning for korn.
There are 4 or 5 questions on Turkey. Could the enlarged Bureau take up the matter of grouping questions together so that we do not have the pig's breakfast we have at present?
Men for at fremme afsætningen af hård hvede fra overskudsområder til områder med underskud — det er antagelig det, det ærede medlem hentyder til i sit spørgsmål — har Kommissionen foreslået at forhøje fællesskabspræferencen ved at øge forskellen mellem indikativprisen og interventionsprisen.
COTTRELL (ED). — Mr President, I assume that Question Time is coming to an end and that it is appropriate for me therefore to make these remarks at this point. I think it right, while the Belgian Presidency is in the Chamber and while Mr Tindemans in particular is here, that the House should jointly express its thanks to him, and through him to the Belgian people and the Belgian Government, for all that has been done in the Zeebrugge disaster.
(Det såkaldte markedselement blev allerede forhøjet inden for rammerne af prisforslagene for 86/87, nemlig fra 4,5 til 8,5%, medens de nuværende forslag for 87/88 ved en konstant indikativpris og en nedsat interventionspris medfører et markedselement på 13,8%).
All of us in the United Kingdom have been immensely impressed by the emergency operation which the Belgian authorities mounted so very quickly, reducing the tragedy and the loss of life. We thank you very much indeed.
Spørgsmål nr. 9 af MacSharry (H-629/86)
PRESIDENT. — Question No 73 by Mr Ephremidis (H-734/86):
Om : Betaling af europæisk olieimport i ECU
Subject: Violation of the SALT 2 agreement by the USA
Når en handelstransaktion afregnes i udenlandsk valuta, er det ikke kursudviklingen i det land, der skal betale regningen, der spiller den store rolle ved fastsættelsen af prisen i national valuta, hvorimod kursudsving i den valuta, hvori transaktionsprisen fastsættes, spiller en betydelig rolle.
Would the Foreign Ministers meeting in political cooperation, who have repeatedly stated that they support any move towards nuclear arms reductions, say what their attitude to the US decision to violate the historic SALT 2 agreement will be, and what steps they will take to persuade the USA to reconsider this decision and respect the SALT 2 agreement?
Eftersom råolieprisen i øjeblikket fastsættes i dollars, er Europas olieregning i vid udstrækning afhængig af denne valutas udsving i forhold til de europæiske valutaer, uanset hvilken valuta, inklusive ECU, der anvendes som afregningsvaluta.
TINDEMANS, President-in-Office of the Foreign Ministers. — (FR) Mr President, I thank Mr Cottrell for his kind words and would like to express my gratitude to the President of the European Parliament for the message he sent us, which we found deeply moving.
Ud fra en mere generel betragtning gælder dette også for andre råvarer samt landbrugsvarer, der handles internationalt.
But as far as the Twelve are concerned, military matters, as you know, have never come within the sphere of political cooperation.
London Metal Exchange eller markedet for hvidt sukker i Paris.
That is why I take a cautious line whenever military matters are raised.
Dollar er den valuta, der direkte eller indirekte anvendes til prisfastsættelse og terminsnotering for de fleste af disse varer, når terminsnoteringerne i national valuta eksisterer side om side med en umiddelbar omregningskurs til dollar, således som det er tilfældet i London eller Paris.
NEWENS (S). — I should like to ask if the Ministers never discuss the political consequences of military decisions and security policy and, whether under these circumstances, these matters, are completely cut off from democratic control?
Da eksportører og importører således har mulighed for at foretage en omregning til dollar af transaktioner, der er foretaget i en anden valuta, kan de på denne måde undgå enhver risiko for kurstab som følge af untertegnelsen af handelskontrakter lyden de på amerikanske dollars.
As far as national parliaments are concerned, people presumably could ask some of the questions, but there is a possibility that
Hvis det skal lykkes at bringe priserne på disse produkter udtrykt i europæisk valuta under bedre kontrol, er det derfor nødvendigt, at der gradvis indføres et prisfastsættelsessystem i ECU.
In answer to the Honourable Member's question, let me say that the Twelve regard arms contro! and arms reduction as priority objectives to be pursued on the basis of balanced and verifiable agreements, bringing improved security conditions for all.
På disse fysiske markeder i Europa gives der ikke, som for dollars vedkommende, mulighed for umiddelbar omregning i ECU i forbindelse med terminsforretninger, der effektueres i national valuta.
In this context, they attach the highest importance to compliance with the obligations flowing from the treaties in force.
Den ringe interesse for en sådan nyskabelse er begrundet i det beskedne antal kontrakter, der hidtil rent faktisk er indgået i ECU.
As for the remainder, the question that has been put touches upon military aspects of security which, as you know, fall outside the range of European political cooperation.
En sådan fremgangsmåde forudsætter imidlertid en radikal ændring af den nuværende praksis på oliemarkedet.
In my answer to Mr Ephremidis I said: 'They attach the highest importance to compliance with the obligations flowing from the treaties in force'.
Spørgsmål nr. 10 af Lemass (H-633/86)
Question No 4, by Mr Escuder Croft (H-296/86)
Om: Kurser, hvorved ældre forberedes til pensionisttilværelsen
Subject: Arrangements applicable to the Canary Islands
Som svar på mit spørgsmål nr. 97/85 (') om hvor mange mennesker, der deltager i forberedelseskurser til pensionisttilværelsen, meddelte Kommissionen, at der ville foreligge en rapport herom i slutningen af 1985.
What are the precise contents of the proposal from the Commission to the Council to adjust the arrangements applicable to the Canary Islands pursuant to Article 25 of the Act concerning the accession of Spain to the European Communities?
I juli 1986 fremlagde Kommissionen sin rapport om anvendelsen af Rådets henstilling af december 1982 vedrørende principperne for en fællesskabspolitik for pensionsalder.
It was thought that Mr Narjes had satisfied the honour able Member that in drafting this proposal to the Council the Commission had given thorough consideration to problems in the agricultural sector in this region of the Community. munity.
Rapporten — som jeg anbefaler til Parlamentet — blev udarbejdet på grundlag af oplysninger indsamlet af medlemsstaterne.
While it is true that the common agricultural policy is not applicable there, the Commission has adopted the principle that the Canary Islands as part of the Community may be treated no less favourably than a third country.
1 svarene på Kommissionens spørgeskema forelagde medlemsstaterne ingen statistiske oplysninger om det antal personer, der deltager i forberedelseskurser til pensionisttilværelsen.
For this reason, and in the context of the discussion on Mediterranean policy, the Commission submitted to the Council proposals for the adjustment of agricultural arrangements for the Canary Islands.
Faktisk var Belgien, Irland og Nederlandene de eneste medlemsstater, der fremlagde generelle oplysninger om sådanne kurser.
This resulted in a common statement on a position on the part of the Council in October 1986. The propo sal for a regulation to implement this position will be submitted to the Council by the Commission very shortly.
I sin rapport anbefaler Kommissionen, at medlemsstaterne, udover at understrege principperne i henstillingen, bør ofre særlig opmærksomhed på forberedelsen til pensionisttilværelsen.
It may be of interest to the honourable Member to know that this proposal will cover the following points in particular:
Sluttelig kan jeg meddele det ærede medlem, at Kommissionen planlægger at iværksætte en sammenlignende undersøgelse af forberedelseskurser til pensionisttilværelsen i medlemsstaterne, der vil give så mange statistiske oplysninger som muligt.
— the resumption and improvement of the preferential arrangements for 16 products which came under the former agreement between the Community and Spain and which were not included in the Treaty of Accession;
Resultaterne af denne undersøgelse vil blive tilgængelige for parlamentsmedlemmer. medlemmer.
— the application of preferential tariff arrangements to seven new products, with the aim of encouraging further diversification in the range of Canary Island products.
Spørgsmål nr. 16 af Marshall (H-762/86
Question No 5, by Mr Romeos (H-466/86)
Har Kommissionen undersøgt den grusomme behandling, greyhounds udsættes for i Spanien?
As for the matter of the financial contribution to the operating costs, the Commission feels that a disposal premium of this kind is unsuitable in the context of the common organization of the market in cereals.
Vil den undersøge dette spørgsmål?
Subject: Fixing of crude oil prices in ECU
Efter forelæggelsen af det ærede medlems spørgsmål har Kommissionen været i kontakt med akskillige ikke-statslige organisationer, i særdeleshed ESPCA (Sammenslutningen for forebyggelse af grusomhed mod dyr) og Eurogruppen for dyrevelfærd i et forsøg at fastlå kendsgerninger vedrørende dette tilfælde af påstået grusomhed mod greyhounds.
In commercial transactions settled in foreign currencies, it is not the rate fluctuations of the currency used for payment that affect the cost of the purchase, but the fluctuations of the currency in which the transaction price has been fixed.
