Hvorledes agter Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde at reagere på tyrkiske militærflys fortsatte krænkelser af det græske luftrum, hvoraf den sidste fandt sted den 18. juni 1992 og resulterede i, at et græsk militærfly styrtede ned, og piloten omkom, under bestræbelserne på at få el tyrkisk militærfly til at forlade det græske luftrum?
which he avoided reading us and I do not understand why. Furthermore, I would like to ask the following: in this new phase and after the Lisbon decision, which all of us here know, what initiatives is the British presidency considering, to be implemented of course during Mr Hurd's visit which we know is taking place next week?
og spørgsmål nr. 36 af Pesmazoglou (H-0707/92): af internationalt
I ask the Minister to tell me what strategy the Twelve have in this connection.
Om: Territorialkrav og krænkelser anerkendte territoriale rettigheder hurtigt som muligt, så at vi kan give det den hjælp, det har hårdt brug for, samt en stemme i internationale fora.
GAREL JONES. — Yes, I can confirm to the honourable Member that the position of the Twelve remains as stated after the European Council. Our objective is to recognize Macedonia as swiftly as possible so that we can give it urgently needed help and a voice in international fora.
Spørgsmålet om et navn er gået i hårknude.
The question of a name had reached a stalemate.
De Tolv har derfor udtrykt deres beredvillighed til at anerkende det under et navn, der ikke indeholder betegnelsen »Makedonien«.
The Twelve have, therefore, expressed readiness to recognize it under a name which does not include the term 'Macedonia'.
Men det ærede medlem vil være glad for at få at vide, at noget af det første, formanden vil gøre i vor for mandsperiode, bliver at aflægge et besøg i det pågældende område for at søge en løsning, der er acceptabel for alle parter.
But the honourable Member will be pleased to know that one of the first acts that the President will be taking during our presidency will be to pay a visit to that part of the world in order to seek a solution that is acceptable to all parties.
På et møde i WEU's Råd for nylig drøftede man den forventede udvidelse af WEU med fuld deltagelse af Grækenland som EF-medlemsstat og en eventuel associering af Tyrkiet.
GAREL JONES. — The strategy of the Twelve can be described in the following way: the first obligation we have is to provide, as we have provided, a platform and a mechanism through Lord Carrington, assisted by Ambassador Cutilheiro, which will enable the parties involved in the various disputes in the former Republic of Yugoslavia to come together and discuss their differences in a way that will lead to a peaceful solution not based upon violence.
Balfe (S). — (EN) Jeg synes, rådsformanden er kommet meget tæt på at besvare mit spørgsmål.
BALFE (S). — I think the President-in-Office has come very near to answering my question.
Men jeg vil gerne helt præcist spørge, om navnet nu er den eneste tilbageværende hindring for en aner kendelse fra De Tolv?
But I should like to ask specifically, is the name now the only remaining obstacle to recognition by the Twelve?
Kan Rådet bekræfte, at man vil stille bistandspakker til rådighed for denne republik på samme generøse måde, som det er sket over for andre dele af den tidligere stat Jugoslavien?
Can the Council confirm that assistance packages will be made available to this republic with the same spirit of generosity as to other parts of the former state of Yugoslavia?
Jeg mener, at det er rigtigt at sige, at navnet er den vanskelighed, der stadig forsinker en anerkendelse.
I think it is true to say that the name is the remaining difficulty that is holding up recognition.
Men jeg tror, det vil være bedre at afvente det besøg, som udenrigsministeren snart skal aflægge i det pågældende område, for at forsøge at finde en vej frem.
But I think it would be better to await the visit that the Foreign Secretary is to make very shortly to that part of the world to try and find a way forward.
Garel Jones, formand for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde. — (EN) Hverken spørgsmålet om tyrkiske jageres krænkelse af græsk luftrum eller om tabet af en græsk jager er blevet drøftet inden for rammerne af Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde.
Secondly, the Community's responsibility must be a humanitarian one to ensure that the suffering that is being caused at the present time to the civilian population in the former Republic of Yugoslavia is assuaged to the greatest degree possible by humanitarian aid from the Community.
Det samme gælder medlemskab og associeret med lemskab af Vestunionen, der er spørgsmål, som falder uden for rammerne af Det Europæiske Politi ske Samarbejde.
But as I answered in a question earlier on to another honourable Member, it cannot be part of the Community's responsibility to impose a peace on Yugoslavia that we cannot achieve.
Den tyrkiske regering har via charteret fra De Forenede Nationers slutakt fra Helsinki og Paris-charteret forpligtet sig til fuldt ud at respektere andre staters suverænitet.
We can have the two objectives that I have just described, plus of course a number of principles which I have referred to in the course of earlier question ing, for example, no changing of borders by violent means and so on.
Oostlander (PPE). — (NL) Jeg ville gerne lige spørge, hvad der egentlig var den præcise grund til, at EPS tog et så klart skridt videre end Parlamentets beslutning, der i hvert fald åbnede mulighed for med hensyn til navnet at indgå et kompromis, så de involverede parter havde æren i behold.
OOSTLANDER (PPE). — (NE) I would also just like to ask exactly why the EPC took such a clear step beyond the Parliament's resolution which, as the name suggests, left the possibility open for some measure of compromise so that the parties involved are still left sone degree of credit.
Det kan dog ikke være vor opgave helt og aldeles at trænge en så lille republik op i en krog, eller skal årsagen simpelt hen findes i republikken Athens optræden?
Surely it is not our intention to sweep such a small republic part and parcel under the carpet, or does the whole matter reside in the behaviour of the Athens republic?
Papoutsis (S). — (GR) Jeg takker rådsformanden for hans svar.
How do the Twelve meeting in European Political Cooperation view the problem of the Republic of Skopje and what position are they taking following the Lisbon summit?
Garel Jones. — (EN) Hvad Fællesskabet forsøger at gøre er at finde et kompromis, der vil være acceptabelt for alle parter.
GAREL JONES. — What the Community is seeking to do is to find a compromise position that would be acceptable to all parties.
I øjeblikket har vi en holdning, som vi er enedes om i Lissabon.
At present we have a position that we have agreed at Lisbon.
Det er nødvendigt, at alle 12 medlemsstater står fast på denne holdning.
All twelve Member States will need to remain solidly behind that position.
På basis af denne holdning vil det være nødvendigt, at vi prøver at finde ud af, om der kan findes en løsning.
On the basis of that position we shall need to see whether a resolution can be found.
Hvis der ikke kan findes nogen løsning på basis af denne holdning, så er det klart, at vi må have en fornyet drøftelse blandt De Tolv for at se, hvordan vi kan komme videre med sagen.
If a resolution cannot be found on the basis of that position then clearly we will need to have a further discussion amongst the Twelve to see how we take the matter further forward.
Formanden. — Da de følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi under ét behandle spørgsmål nr. 35 af Papoutsis (H-0696/92):
Question No 35, by Mr Papoutsis (H-0696/92)
Om: Tyrkiske militærflys krænkelse af det græske luftrum og nedstyrtning af et græsk militærfly under forsøg på at få et tyrkisk fly til at forlade det græske luftrum
Subject: Violations of Greek airspace by Turkish fighterplanes and the loss of a Greek fighter during interception
Jeg vil derfor gerne spørge, hvordan man kan opprioritere forbindelserne med Tyrkiet, og det til et så højt niveau som f.eks. en toldunion, når en medlemsstat samtidig udsættes for vedvarende krænkelser af sit territorium af tyrkiske fly. Påvirker dette slet ikke Rådet?
ALAVANOS (CG). — (GR) I thank the President-in-Office, even though he answered by reading an already known decision by the Summit Conference, and indeed selecting extracts from it and suppressing others.
Agter det at tage dette alvorlige problem i betragtning i forbindelse med de forhandlinger, der skal finde sted næste måned eller snarere de kommende dage?
What action do the Foreign Ministers meeting in EPC intend to take in view of the continual violations of Greek airspace by Turkish fighter planes (the last
Nr. 3-420/221 stændig vilkårlig rækkefølge.
No 3-420/177
Formanden. — Jeg har noteret mig Deres bemærkninger. Jeg vil tage det op med formanden.
PRESIDENT such incident occurred on 18 June 1992 and resulted in the loss of a Greek fighter and the death of the pilot during attempted interception)?
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 42 af Lord Betheli (H-0641/92):
Question No 36, by Mr Pesmazoglou (H-0707/92)
Om: Skrivelser til kommissionsmedlemmer
Subject: Challenges to, and violations of, internationally recognized rights of Greek sovereignty so.
Garel Jones. — (EN) Må jeg først sige til det ærede medlem, at der endnu ikke er blevet vedtaget nogen retningslinjer, og at det naturligvis vil være op til Grækenland at rejse det spørgsmål, han har nævnt om en krænkelse af luftrummet.
A recent meeting of the Council of the WEU dis cussed the likely enlargement of the WEU to include Greece as a full member, in view of its membership of the Community, and the expected decision to confer association status on Turkey.
Det vil være en sag for den græske regering at rejse i Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde, hvis den finder det passende at gøre dette.
It was also announced that Article 5 of the Treaty which pro vides for the automatic joint defence of a Member State would not apply if the attack came from a country linked by association.
Skønt der som sagt ikke er vedtaget nogen retningslinjer, så har formandskabet faktisk ladet et papir om forholdene mellem EF og Tyrkiet cirkulere, og jeg tror, det også er rigtigt, at alle tolv medlemsstater ønsker at se et udbygget og forbedret forhold til Tyrkiet, og jeg ved, at det er en opfattelse, som den græske regering også deler.
How can the EC governments propose or accept a measure which, instead of dissuading, will actually encourage continuing Turkish challenges to, and violations of, internationally recognized rights of Greek sovereignty?
Er den ikke enig i, at det under sådanne forhold er umuligt for Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer at udføre deres opgaver tilfredsstillende eller at udøve deres funktion, som er at føre tilsyn med Kommissionen, således som det kræves i Traktaterne?
And the question is: what attitude will it adopt, what policy is it going to implement so that this anomaly between a Member State of the European Community and a country associated with it can cease violating international law, both in the context of these questions and where Cyprus is concerned.
Vil Kommissionen være rede til at gøre en større indsats og anvende mere lid på dens udvekslinger af oplysninger med Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer?
In this connection it was reported in the international press that a Greek airforce pilot was killed on 18 June 1992 when he attempted to intercept Turkish fighters which were again violating Greek airspace.
Scrivener, medlem af Kommissionen. — (FR) Hr. formand, Kommissionen erkender, at dens svar på visse skrivelser i et yderst begrænset antal tilfælde, der vedrører højtspecialiserede spørgsmål, eller som indebærer en omfattende korrespondance, rent faktisk desværre kan fremkomme med en vis forsinkelse. Kommissionen forsøger at reducere denne forsinkelse så meget som muligt.
GAREL JONES. — I can only repeat to the honourable Member the answer I gave earlier to his honourable friend. This question has not been raised at a European Political Cooperation meeting by Greece.
Pesmazoglou (PPE). — (GR) Jeg vil også gerne takke rådsformanden for hans svar, men vil gerne spørge om følgende: Er Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde ikke enig i, at det er alvorlige krænkelser, hvor der, som ministeren selv sagde, også er tale om krænkelser af den internationale legitimitet, som alle lande skal respektere.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of European Political Cooperation. — Mr President, may I be permitted to answer jointly Questions Nos 35 by Mr Papoutsis and 36 by Mr Pesmazoglou which both concern relations between Greece and Turkey.
Disse krænkelser er begyndt for længe siden og finder stadig sted.
Neither the issue of reported violations of Greek airspace by Turkish fighter planes nor the loss of a Greek fighter has been discussed within the framework of European Political Cooperation.
Jeg formoder, at Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde har kendskab til disse uregelmæssigheder.
The same applies to membership and associated membership of the Western European Union, which are matters which fall outside the scope of European Political Cooperation.
Når dette er sagt, bestræber Kommissionen sig på at svare medlemmerne så hurtigt og så fuldstændigt som muligt.
SUÁREZ GONZÁLEZ (PPE). — (ES) Mr President, I have requested information on several occasions during Question Time on the criteria for deciding the order of questions in this House.
Korrespondancen med medlemmerne af Parlamentet bør nyde høj prioritet.
If you look at the list of questions, Mr President, you will see that each of them bears a date, but that the order in which they are included in the document has nothing to do with their date but follows a totally arbitrary order.
Garel Jones. — (EN) Jeg kan kun over for det ærede medlem gentage det svar, jeg tidligere har givet hans ærede kollega.
PAPOUTSIS (S). — (GR) I thank the Council's President-in-Office for the answer he has just given.
Spørgsmålet er ikke blevet rejst på noget møde i Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde af Grækenland.
PRESIDENT. — Question No 42 by Lord Bethell (H0641/92)
PHARE-programmet, indgår ca. 800 skrivelser om ugen, hvilket indlysende nok rejser et problem.
Does the Council show no sensitivity about that? Is it about to show any such sensitivity?
Det skal under alle omstændigheder atter understreges, at der vil blive givet prioritet til besvarelse af parlamentsmedlemmernes skrivelser.
Will it take this serious problem into account in the talks due to take place next month, or rather in a few days' time?
Lord Bethell (PPE). — (EN) Jeg vil gerne forsikre kommissæren om, at jeg er yderst forstående over for den vanskelige situation, den befinder sig i.
Is the Commission aware that letters to Commission ers from Members of the European Parliament are sometimes answered after a delay of three months, or even longer, and that other letters are simply not answered at all?
Jeg mener, at Kommissionen er underbemandet på dette område og har meget store problemer med at besvare forespørgsler ikke blot fra medlemmer af
Do they not agree that, in such circumstances, it is impossible for Members of the European Parliament properly to carry out their duties, or to fulfil their function of supervising the Commission, as demanded by the Treaties?
Suárez Gonzalez (PPE). — (ES) Hr. formand, gentagne gange har jeg under spørgetiden spurgt om. hvilke kriterier der ligger til grund for den rækkefølge, spørgsmålene behandles i.
GAREL JONES. — Can I say first to the honourable Member that no guidelines have yet been approved and naturally it would be for Greece to raise the matter he referred to about a violation of airspace.
Hvis formanden gennemgår listen over spørgsmål, vil han se. at de alle har påtrykt en dato, men at de ikke er opført på listen i overensstemmelse med tidspunktet for indgivelsen af spørgsmålene, men snarere i en fuld
It would be a matter for the Greek Government to raise in European Political Cooperation if they thought it appropriate to do
Det gælder for spørgsmålene fra parlamentsmedlemmerne; det gælder også for visse spørgsmål, som de europæiske borgere tilstiller disse.
Kingdom, where it is very easy to get replies from ministers because they have a procedure for dealing with this.
Jeg kan ikke give et bindende tilsagn her og nu ud over at forpligte mig til at drøfte sagen med mine kolleger og forsøge at finde frem til en hensigtsmæssig fremgangsmåde.
So I ask that we have an undertaking that a proposal be communicated back to the President of Parliament so that we can get these very real problems sorted out.
Europa-Parlamentet, men også fra den almindelige offentlighed, som i stigende omfang, og det glæder mig meget at sige, at dette er tilfældet, sætter sig i forbindelse med Kommissionen for at tage de pro blemer op, som opstår i forbindelse med vore tolv medlemsstaters medlemskab af Fællesskabet.
SCRIVENER, Member of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, the Commission agrees that, in a very small number of cases, concerning highly specialized ques tions, or which require extensive correspondence, replies to letters can unfortunately be subject to some delay. The Commission attempts to keep this delay to a minimum.
Men medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet modtager et stort antal breve og forespørgsler fra dem, der vælger dem.
For the rest, the Commission attempts to reply as prompt ly and fully as possible to questions from Members of the European Parliament.
Vi kan ikke besvare dem uden Kommissionens hjælp.
Correspondence with Members of the European Parliament should enjoy a high degree of priority.
Det er derfor, jeg har rejst dette spørgsmål.
SCRIVENER. — (FR) I have just answered this question.
Et stort antal af vore breve bliver faktisk ikke besvaret inden for en måned, to måneder eller tre måneder.
You have re-phrased it and the most I can do is to undertake to discuss it with my colleagues.
Kan kommissæren sige, hvordan med lemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet kan prioriteres højere i denne forbindelse?
It is an organizational problem, but we are all very aware of the questions which arise.
Vil kommissæren f.eks. gå med til at oprette en særlig enhed i Kommissionen, som svarer medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet og hjælper dem med at få oplysninger og besvare de forespørgsler, de modtager fra vælgerne?
I can of course only speak from my own experience, but let me tell you that in my area, I sometimes receive questions which require a full-scale inquiry in order to be able to give a reply.
Dette vil være en meget stor hjælp.
This is true for the Members of Parliament; it is true for certain questions that European citizens ask.
Jeg håber, at Kommissionen vil tage hensyn til det.
Thus, we are fully aware of the importance of the issue.
Jeg taler ud fra egen erfaring, idet jeg den 8. maj skriftligt meddelte hr. Dondelinger, at jeg ikke havde været i stand til at deltage i et møde den 6. maj, hvorunder omtalte kommissionsmedlem var til stede, et møde, som Kommissionens kontor i Madrid havde indkaldt til med kun tre dages varsel.
It is interesting to note, nonetheless, that the number of questions received by the Commission increases con stantly and that over 800 letters are received per week on certain subjects such as the PHARE Programme, which obviously constitutes a problem.
Kunne Kommissionen ikke i det mindste bekræfte modtagelsen af skrivelsen og samtidig meddele, hvornår den mener at kunne fremsende et indholdsmæssigt svar?
But, let me repeat, priority will be given to replying to correspondence from Members of the European Parliament.
Der foreligger rent faktisk et reelt problem, som må søges løst på bedste måde.
I have still not received acknowledge ment of receipt of the letter I sent to Commissioner Dondelinger.
Jeg vil under alle omstændigheder videregive Deres forslag, hvilket er det bedste svar, jeg kan give Dem her.
Could the Commission not at least send an acknowledgement of receipt and at the same time indicate when they think a full reply will be forthcoming?
Scrivener. — (FR) Endnu en gang kan jeg kun gentage, at De har ret med hensyn til det principielle i sagen, men De vil være vidende om, at det henhører under det enkelte kommissionsmedlem at besvare Deres spørgsmål.
SCRIVENER. — (FR) Yet again, you are right in the substance of what you say, but you must understand that it is up to each individual Commissioner to reply to your question.
Jeg kan ikke forklare Dem, hvorfor hr. Dondelinger eller hans tjeneste grene endnu ikke har været i stand til at besvare Deres spørgsmål.
I cannot, personally, tell you why Mr Dondelinger or his services have not been able to reply to your question.
For mit eget vedkommende er jeg mig problemet yderst bevidst.
Personally, I am very aware of the problem.
Balfe (S). — (EN) Det er min erfaring, at svar fra Kommissionen altid tager lang tid.
BETHELL, The Lord (PPE). — Mr President, I would like to assure the Commissioner that I am deeply sympathetic to the predicament in which it finds itself.
Jeg forsøger stadig at få svar på et brev, jeg skrev for så lang tid siden som i november sidste år. Vi er nu i juli.
But Members of the European Parliament receive a large number of letters and enquiries from those who elect them.
De institutioner, vi har med at gøre, bør have særlige procedurer for spørgsmål fra medlemmerne.
Really, a great number of our letters are not receiving replies within one month, two months or three months.
Det er helt klart, at hvis et medlem af offentligheden hen vender sig til os, og vi ikke engang som medlemmer af Parlamentet kan få svar ud af Kommissionen, bliver vi helt til grin.
Can the Commissioner indicate how this priority is to be given to Members of the European Parliament?
Jeg beder derfor om, at vi får et tilsagn om, at Parlamentets formand får forelagt et forslag, således at vi kan få disse meget reelle problemer klaret.
This is a very real problem and we must try to resolve it as best we can. In all events, I will mention your suggestion which is, I think, all I can say.
Når dette er sagt, kan man også stille et andet spørgsmål, nemlig om ikke Parlamentet på sin side kunne forsøge at organisere sig lidt bedre, for det sker ret ofte, at medlemmerne af Kommissionen modtager identiske eller næsten identiske spørgsmål, ikke blot fra medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet, men også fra andre.
However, another question might be asked, namely whether the Parliament could not introduce some measure of organization, since members of the Commission frequently receive the same questions, or questions along very similar lines, not only from Members of the Euro pean Parliament, but also from other people.
Der kunne således, i hvert fald for Parlamentets vedkommende, ligge en opgave i at organisere proceduren for fremsendelse af skrivelser. Jeg foreslår derfor, at Parlamentet drøfter sagen med Kommissionen og dernæst internt i Parlamentet, for når sagen efter alles mening er så betydningsfuld, er det efter min mening nødvendigt at organisere en procedure.
Thus, as fæas the European Parliament is concerned, some other type of organization might be set up.
Der er ingen anden måde at løse problemet på.
There is no other solution.
Det er ikke muligt at øge antallet af dem, der fører pennen, når der skal udarbejdes svar.
We cannot increase the number of people who put pen to paper to draft replies.
Der foreligger således et reelt problem, som vil blive søgt løst.
Therefore, when so much time elapses, it means that a problem exists which must be resolved.
Scrivener. — (FR) Jeg har lige svaret på dette spørgsmål.
PRESIDENT. — Question No 44 by Mrs Ruiz-Giménez Aguilar (H-0690/92)
De stiller nu det samme spørgsmål på en anden måde, og jeg kan kun gentage, at det eneste, jeg kan gøre er at forelægge det for Kommissionen.
BALFE (S). — My experience is that replies from the Commission always take a long time.
Der er tale om et organisatorisk problem, men vi er alle yderst opmærksomme på de spørgsmål, der
I am still trying to get a reply to a letter I wrote as long ago as last November. We are now in July.
