Derfor vil jeg gerne endnu engang specifikt spørge Kommissionen, hvordan den reagerer på, at der siden eurovisionssamarbejdets begyndelse er sket grundlæggende ændringer i sektoren med erhvervelse af rettigheder til sportsprogrammer, i særdeleshed gennem opkomsten af mægtige og hidtil overordentlig succesrige agenturer, der i direkte konkur
So I should like to ask the Commission once again specifically for its reaction to the fact that since the introduction of the Eurovision system fundamental changes have taken place in the field of the acquisition of rights to sporting events, particularly through the emergence of powerful and already extremely successful agencies which are acquiring television rights throughout Europe, and indeed throughout the world, in direct competition with the EBU.
Kommissionen foreslår (25.9.92) den græske regering at trække forslaget tilbage fra regionalprogrammet og at indsende det særskilt for ikke at forsinke
The Commission has proposed (25 September 1992) to the Greek Government that it withdraw the proposal for the project from the Regional Operational Programme and submit it on its own so as not to delay the written procedure for the Regional Operational Programme.

Spørgsmål nr. 62 af Vázquez Fouz (H-l 181/92):
Question No 62 by Mr Vazquez Fouz (H-l 181/92)
Påtænker Kommissionen inden for nær fremtid at forelægge en forordning om kvalitet for fiske- og akvakulturprodukter?
Does the Commission intend to submit the regulation concerning the quality of fishery and aquaculture products in the near future?
Når det drejer sig om vedtagelse — skriftligt eller på anden måde — af beslutninger, der skal træffes af komiteen for opfølgningen af regionalprogrammet for Attiki, har Kommissionen bestræbt sig for at fremskynde processen.
As regards the adoption of decisions by the follow-up committee for the regional programme for Attica, either in writing or otherwise, the Commission has done its best to speed up the process.
I nogle tilfælde — som for eksempel revalideringscentret, som det ærede medlem omtaler — vil det kræve en større afklaring og vurdering på grundlag af oplysninger, som medlemsstaten skaffer.
In certain cases, particularly that of the Rehabilitation Centre to which the honourable Member has refened, further clarification and an appraisal based on the information to be furnished by the Member State will be required.
Selv om materialet vedrørende revalideringscentret stadig er ved at blive vurderet, er der ingen grund til at udsætte andre allerede aftalte beslutninger.
Although the material relating to the Rehabilitation Centre is still being evaluated, there is no reason to put off taking other decisions already agreed.
Vedrørende den midlertidige situation af behandlingen af personer med særlige behov er det først og fremmest en sag, der vedrører de græske myndigheder.
CARDOSO E CUNHA, Member of the Commission. — (PT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the study which the Commission has carried out on the subject of quality of fishery products, and which consists of a communication addressed to the Council, the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee, has been the subject of debate in these three institutions.
Kommissionen har også arrangeret et samråd om emnet med fagorganisationerne inden for den rådgivende fiske rikomité.
The Commission has promoted further discussion on this subject with trade circles within the Advisory Committee on Fisheries.
I konklusionerne fra mødet den 9. juni i år har Rådet bedt Kommissionen om at uddybe dens tanker, navnlig sammen med fagfolk, og om nødvendigt at forelægge et formelt forslag.
In the conclusions of the meeting which it held on 9 June last, the Council asked the Commission to study the matter at greater depth, in particular with the trade circles and to present, if necessary, a formal proposal.
ALAVANOS (CG). — Jeg kan ikke sige, at jeg forstod kommissærens svar, ikke fordi det var på portugisisk -jeg hørte den udmærkede græske tolkning- men fordi jeg tror, kommissæren undlod at svare på de spørgsmål, jeg stiller ham.
ALAVANOS (CG). — (GR) I cannot say that I under stood the Commissioner's answer very well, not because it was in Portuguese — I heard the very good Greek interpretation — but because I think the Commissioner avoided answering the questions I had put to him.
Jeg vil geme fastholde dem og bede ham være mere konkret og i overensstemmelse med beslutningen fra Edinburgh om gennemsigtighed.
I would like to come back and ask him to be more specific and consistent with the Edinburgh decision on transparency.
Jeg vil bede ham gentage, hvorledes Kommissionen imødegår problemet vedrørende hindringerne for inddragelsen af revalideringscentret i Pendili i regionalprogrammet for Attiki.
I ask him to explain once more what problems the Com mission is encountering in connection with the Multipurpose Centre, Pendeli as part of the regional programme for Attica.
I fortsættelse af den igangværende proces vil Kommissionen undersøge muligheden for et formelt forslag, hvis Kommissionen kommer til det resultat, at en aktion på fællesskabsniveau er nødvendig for at tilskynde til en bedre kvalitet for fiskeriprodukter.
CARDOSO E CUNHA. — (PT) Mr President, to be more specific, I can say that for some years past the special hospital centre and centre for the rehabilitation of people with special needs in Athens has been under discussion.
CARDOSO E CUNHA. — (PT) Hr. formand, jeg kan sige mere konkret, at behandlingscentret i Athen for revalidering af personer med særlige behov i flere år har været genstand for debat.
Following this procedure, which is under way, the Com mission will consider whether it is appropriate to make a formal proposal if it decides that action is needed at Community level to promote an improvement in the quality of fishery products.
Regionalprogrammet for Attiki omfatter et beløb på en mio ECU til finansiering af forberedende undersøgelser vedrørende dette projekt.
The IMP for the region of Attica includes an item of ECU 1 m for the financing of preparatory studies for this project.
De græske myndigheder har foreslået integreringen af selve projektet i regionalprogrammet for Attiki med et budget på 10 mio ECU uden nogen specifikation af de arbejder, der skal finansieres.
The Greek authorities proposed including this very project in the regional programme for Attica, with a budget of ECU 10 m, without any determination of the specific nature of the work to be financed.
På Kommissionens anmodning forelagde de græske myndigheder senere en forundersøgelse, der imidlertid er beregnet på et meget større projekt til et beløb af cirka 80 mio ECU.
At the Commission's request the Greek authorities subsequent ly provided a previous viability study which is, however, intended for a project for a much greater amount, some ECU 80 m.
VAZQUEZ FOUZ (S). — (ES) Hr. kommissær, først vil jeg bede Dem lykønske den tjenestemand, som har udarbejdet svaret.
VÁZQUEZ FOUZ (S). — (ES) First, Mr Commissioner, I suggest you congratulate the official who has drafted the answer for you.
Det indeholder en hel masse omskrivninger og talemåder i stedet for at sige tingene ligeud, nemlig at dette spørgsmål er blokeret, eftersom Rådet ikke ønsker at træffe nogen afgørelser på dette område, da et par medlemsstater modsætter sig dette.
It is, of course, a whole collection of euphemisms and conditional clauses to say something tremendously simple: the matter is in suspense because the Council does not wish to take decisions on the subject, since it includes one or two Member States forming part of it which are opposed.
Det siges, at spørgsmålet har været debatteret i Rådet, i Kommissionen, i Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg, og De siger, at det også er sket i Parlamentet.
It is said that the matter has been debated in the Council, the Commission and the Economic and Social Committee, and, you say, in Parliament too.
Men sagen er ikke blevet behandlet i Parlamentet!
But Parliament has not debated it.
Vi må først have et formelt forslag forelagt, før vi kan udtale os.
We are dependent, for doing so, on your sending us the formal proposal.
Men først og fremmest må forbrugernes ret til kvalitetsprodukter tages i betragtning; dernæst kommer bekæmpelse af svig og sidst udbredelsen af fiskeriprodukter.
But it is essential to remember, first of all, the entitlement of consumers to high quality products; secondly the fight against fraud, and thirdly the expansion of fishery products.
Kommissionen har bedt en ekspert om at se på rapporten og komme med konklusioner vedrørende projektforslaget.
Although the project had originally been proposed in the regional programme for Attica, the Commission, in view of the size of the project, suggested that the Greek authorities should present this investment separately, as a large-scale project.
Den første modtagne konklusion siger, at projektet er vel udtænkt, kohærent og tilpasset Grækenlands effektive behov.
However, so far the Greek authorities are still requesting finance for the project, at a first operational stage, in the framework of the programme for Attica.
Hr. kommissær, De har også været kommissær for fiskeri — og da jeg ved, at De ikke fortsætter i Kommissionen, vil jeg benytte denne lejlighed til at ønske Dem alt muligt held fremover — og De er klar over, hvad De taler om.
You have also been Commissioner for fisheries — I know you are not staying with the Commission and I take this opportunity to bid you a cordial farewell — and are familiar with the subject matter, and I should like a rather more specific answer which could be translated into a commitment.
Selv om programmet i starten blev foreslået i regional programmet for Attiki, har Kommissionen under hensyn tagen til projektets størrelse foreslået, at de græske myndigheder forelagde projektet særskilt. De græske
This does not mean that the Commission has any doubts as to the basic validity of the proposed investment, but it does mean that the Commission would like to examine the project in the wider context of the installations intended for health care as a whole and the

CARDOSO E CUNHA. — (PT) Det ærede medlem har sikkert ret, når han siger, at disse diskussioner kommer af en meget vanskelig ligevægt mellem forskellige interes­ser inden for sektoren, som er meget følsom over for problemer som det omtalte.
CARDOSO E CUNHA interests in the sector, which is particularly sensitive to such problems as the one he has mentioned.
ALAVANOS (CG). — (GR) Kommissæren nåede at svare på det meste af mit spørgsmål. Jeg vil imidlertid holde fast ved det og bede om Kommissionens synspunkt ­skønt der ikke er truffet nogen endelig afgørelse vedrø­rende ydelse af statsstøtte til Olympic Airways­ i betragt­ning af, at Kommissionen i sin seneste beretning erken­der de generelle problemer for luftfartsselskaberne, hvor jeg også tror den har en særlig omtale af Olympic Airways.
would like to persist and ask him what is the Commission's view — even though no final decision has yet been made on the granting of state aid to Olympic Airways —, given that in a recent report the Commission recognizes the general problems faced by airlines and, I think, makes special mention of Olympic Airways.
Jeg sagde, Parlamentet uden tvivl ville blive hørt, når der foreligger et formelt forslag. Jeg forstår og respekterer hr. Vázquez Fouz' følelser, eller snarere hans frustation over, at forslaget lader vente på sig.
I said that Parliament would certainly be consulted when there was a formal proposal.
Det går langsomt, fordi diskussionen er vanskelig, og det ved det ærede medlem sikkert.
It is going slowly precisely because it relates to a difficult discussion of which the honourable Member is certainly aware.
Disse vanskeligheder og meningsfor­skelle er grundlaget for vor procedure.
These difficulties and differences of opinion are absolutely fundamental to our proceedings.
Det ærede med­lem giver udtryk for en personlig mening, der naturligvis vil blive taget til efterretning; men Kommissionen har en bredere forpligtelse: at opnå konsensus blandt meget forskellige indstillinger, der endnu er divergerende.
The honourable Member expresses a personal opinion which is of course one of the views which will be taken into consideration, but the Commission has a wider duty: to obtain a consensus between very varying situations which, for the present, are still divergent.
CARDOSO E CUNHA. — (PT) Det ærede medlem har ret: Kommisssionen har forståelse for, at luftfartsselska­ber har finansielle problemer.
CARDOSO E CUNHA. — (PT) The honourable Member is quite right: the Commission is fully aware that the airline companies have financial and operational problems.
Kommissionens beslut­ningsramme er Traktaternes ramme.
The framework of the Commission's decisions is that of the Treaties.
I den henseende er ydelse af garanti til det pågældende selskabs lån faktisk statsstøtte og skal derfor vurderes af Kommissionen i henhold til konkurrenceloven.
From this point of view the provision of loan guarantees for the company in question is in fact a state aid and therefore calls for an appraisal by the Commission under the terms of competition law.
Som jeg sagde til det ærede medlem, har Kommissionen endnu ikke truffet beslutning i denne sag.
As the honourable Member said, the Commission has not yet taken a decision in this matter.

Spørgsmål nr. 66 af Bird (H­l 188/92):
Question No 66 by Mr Bird (H-l 188/92)
Om: Nedlæggelse af lønningsnævnene i Det Forene­de Kongerige
Subject: Abolition of Wages Councils in the United Kingdom
I sidste måned (oktober) indgav den græske regering en ansøgning til EF­Kommissionen om tilladelse til ydelse af støtte (eftergivelse af statsgæld) til Olympic Airways og den relevante undersøgelse (dokumenta­tion).
In October 1992 the Greek government submitted an application together with related background documents, to the Commission requesting its approval for aid to Olympic Airways (payment of government debt)?
Den britiske regerings beslutning om at nedlægge de sidste lønningsnævn vil gøre Det Forenede Kongeri­ge til den eneste medlemsstat uden mindstelønsbes­temmelser.
The decision of the United Kingdom Government to wind up all remaining Wages Councils will leave the United Kingdom as the only EC Member State with no minimum protection.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at nedlæggelsen af disse lønningsnævn i Det Forenede Kongerige
Can the Commission say what action has been taken on this application?
Kan den give mig en fuldstændig kopi af den relevante dokumentation (undersøgelsen)?
Does the Commission believe that the abolition of the Wages Councils in the United Kingdom
— er i modstrid med EF's konkurrencebestemmel­ser?
— contravenes EC competition legislation;
— vil give britiske arbejdsgivere urimelige konkur­rencefordele i forhold til deres konkurrenter i EF?
— gives UK employers an unfair competitive advantage over their EC counterparts;
— vil undergrave millioner af lavtlønnedes rettig­heder i Det Forenede Kongerige?
— undermines the rights of millions of low-paid employees in the United Kingdom?
CARDOSO E CUNHA, medlem af Kommissionen. — (PT) Hr. formand, Kommissionen anser ikke den af Det Forenede Kongeriges regering bebudede beslutning om at nedlægge lønningsnævnene som værende i strid med EF's konkurrencebestemmelser.
CARDOSO E CUNHA, Member of the Commission. — (PT) Mr President, the Commission does not regard the decision to abolish wages councils, recently announced by the United Kingdom Government, as contrary to Community competition law.
Mere kompleks er spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt beslutningen giver arbejdsgi­verne i Det Forenede Kongerige en konkurrencefordel i forhold til de øvrige arbejdsgivere i Fællesskabet.
The question of whether that decision confers on employers in the United King dom an undue competitive advantage as compared with their Community counterparts seems more complicated.
DESSYLAS (CG). — (GR) Jeg kan henvise til avisartik­ler, ikke kun græske, men også i den internationale presse, der oplyser, at den græske regering anmoder Kommissionen, konkret 14.
DESYLLAS (CG). — (GR) I have in mind press reports, not just Greek but international as well, that the Greek Government is asking the Commission, and specifically Directorate 14 which is responsible for competition, for approval to write off the debts of Olympic Airways, or for those debts to be restructured or converted to share capital.
Generaldirektorat for Kon­kurrence, om tilladelse til enten en eftergivelse af stats­gæld til Olympic Airways, en omlægning af gælden eller konvertering af gælden til aktier.
In all three cases the Commission's agreement would be needed, either for writing them off — since the government is planning to privatize or sell the company — or for restructuring, or for conversion to share capital.
Alle 3 tilfælde kræver tilladelse fra Kommissionen, hvad enten der er tale om eftergivelse ­fordi regeringen agter at privatisere/sælge selskabet­ eller om omlægning eller konvertering af gælden til aktier.
If the Greek Government has applied for write-off, restructuring or share capital conversion of the debts, what is the Commission's view? Will it approve one of these three possibilities, and under what preconditions?
Hvis den græske regering har indsendt anmodning om eftergivelse af gælden, omlægning af gælden eller konvertering af gælden til aktier, hvad er Kommissionens holdning til dette?
In the second place, even if wage rates go down, the competitive advantages of any reduction will certainly be small, in so far as the majority of workers covered by wages councils are employees in the services sector.
Vil den give tilladelse til en af disse tre ting og på hvilke betingelser?
In the third place, the impact of wage costs in terms of competition depends, apart from other factors, on productivity and exchange rates.
CARDOSO E CUNHA. — (PT) Som jeg fortalte det ærede medlem har Kommissionen ikke fået forelagt nogen anmodning fra den græske regering om eftergivel­se af Olympic Airways' statsgæld.
As regards the third question, the Commission takes the view that, in conformity with the Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights of Workers, all workers must receive a fair wage for the work they do.
Imidlertid er Kommis­sionen blevet underrettet om, og er i øjeblikket ved at
The Commission regrets any decision at any level which jeopardizes that principle.
For det første kender vi ikke virkningen af nedlæggelsen af lønningsnævnene, når det gælder aflønning.
However, the Commission was notified about the provision of guarantees for loans contracted by Olympic Airways and is at the moment studying it.
For det andet og selv om lønniveauet falder, vil konkurrencefor­delene af en lønnedgang være minimale, i og med at størstedelen af de arbejdstagere, der er omfattet af løn­ningsnævnene, er beskæftiget i servicesektoren.
This notification was received in July 1992; it is expected that the Commission will decide shortly whether these guarantees are compatible with Article 92 of the Treaty.

På grundlag af forslag fra radiospredningsvirksomheder og de tekniske fremskridt, der er gjort i europæiske laboratorier, har Europa imidlertid normer og udstyr, der allerede i dag muliggør modtagelse og spredning af tv-billeder i 16x9 format.
BIRD pean laboratories, Europe has acquired standards and equipment which already allow the broadcasting and receiving of television pictures in 16 χ 9 format.
Dette er en fordel for det europæiske audiovisuelle marked, som europæerne bør udnytte.
This gives the European audiovisual market an advantage which the Europeans cannot let slip.
Afdøde Sir Winston Churchill oprettede faktisk lønningsnævnene for at beskytte arbejderne mod samvittighedsløse arbejdsgivere, og skønt kommissæren har sagt, at det er et forholdsvis lille antal, der bliver berørt, vil ikke desto mindre over 2 mio mennesker blive ramt af afskaffelsen, og de vil ikke have nogen beskyttelse i de nærmeste år.
Churchill in fact formed Wages Councils to protect workers against unscrupulous employers, and although the Commissioner has said that it is a relatively small number, nevertheless over 2 million people will in fact be affected by the abolition and there will be no protection for the next few years. I believe that this will affect the competition legislation of the Community.
Jeg mener, at dette vil påvirke konkurrencelovgivningen i Fælles skabet.
In view of this, is the Commission going to take any action to press the UK Government to implement a minimum wage legislation?
Vil Kommissionen i betragtning heraf gøre noget for at presse Det Forenede Kongeriges regering til at gennemføre en lovgivning om minimumslønninger?
CARDOSO E CUNHA. — (PT) The Commission recog­nizes and respects the honourable Member's concern but, as I have just said, it does not regard the decision announced by the United Kingdom Government as con­trary to Community law.
Der findes allerede modtagerudstyr på markedet til rimelige priser.
Receiving equipment is already available on the market at reasonable prices.
Det er en enestående chance for allerede nu at sikre sig dette nye formats rettigheder i alle etaper: produktion og spredning af programmer, fremstilling af komponenter og modtagere, markedsføring, etc. Den således indhøstede erfaring vil være en fordel for dem, der går ind for højopløsnings-tv på de internationale markeder, hvor og når det sker.
This constitutes a unique opportun­ity to acquire right away mastery of this new format at all stages in the chain: programme production, broadcasting, manufacture of components and receivers, marketing and so on.
På det felt og takket være de fremskridt, der i øjeblikket sker i vore laboratorier, vil Europa sikkert ikke komme sidst.
The experience thus acquired will represent an important trump card for anyone who wishes to launch out tomonow into international markets or equally the digital HDTV market wherever and whenever it is introduced.
CARDOSO E CUNHA. — (PT) Kommissionen erkender det ærede medlems bekymring, og tager den i betragtning; men som sagt anser Kommissionen ikke den af Det Forenede Kongeriges regering bebudede beslutning som værende i strid med fællesskabslovgivningen.
Here too, thanks to the wealth of progress now being achieved in our laboratories, Europe will certainly not lag behind.

Question No 77, by Mr Maher (H­l205/92) Subject: HDTV
MAHER (LDR). — (EN) Det punkt, jeg rejser, udspringer, som jeg har sagt i mit spørgsmål, af en artikel i Financial Times, hvori det hedder, at amerikanerne og japanerne er langt forud for Europa med hensyn til udviklingen af et højopløsnings-tv.
MAHER (LDR). — The point I am raising stems, as I stated in the question, from an article in the London Financial Times suggesting that both the Americans and the Japanese are far ahead of Europe in the development of high­definition television.
Erdet rigtigt af os at forsøge at indhente dem?
Are we justified in trying to catch up with them?
