Det er formandskabets opfattelse, at nærhedsprincippet som retsprincip og som politisk rettes­nor vil spille en vigtig rolle for Fællesskabets fremtidige virke. Vi lægger op til en hensigtsmæssig afgrænsning af Fællesskabets og medlemsstaternes opgaver, og nær­hedsprincippet skal derfor respekteres af fællesskabsin­stitutionerne på samtlige Fællesskabets politikområder.
When the Council failed to accept these provisions, it did so owing to the fact that they constitute an exception to the code of practice on aid for the iron and steel industries and can only be approved if the Commission, in accord ance with Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty, adopts a decision on the exception from the code of practice after receiving the unanimous assent of the Council.
Principperne om proceduren herfor blev fastlagt på Edin­burgh­topmødet.
In order to be able to give this approval, the Council must have tabled a formal proposal from the Commission.
Dette indebærer således, at et klart grænseoverskridende problem som miljø må fastholdes på fællesskabsplan.
Consequently, at its meeting held on 24 November 1992, the Council resolved to return to this question in 1993 under the Danish presidency.
WHITE (S). — (EN) Hr. rådsformand, det ville efter min mening være en del mere tilfredsstillende, hvis De sagde, at De enten ikke ville fortælle os det, eller at De ikke vidste det.
In addition, Mr President-in-Office, I would like to remind you that I also have a highly specific question concerning the announced — though not yet confirmed — Council meeting on 25 February.
Hvis det var den, De henviste til, skal jeg understrege, at der i Maastricht­Traktatens artikel 3 Β ikke fastlægges nogen kriterier overhovedet.
I asked whether this meeting was actually going to be held on the 25th and whether it was going to be a public meeting.
Den fast­sætter et princip, og det er det, der skal bringes i anvendelse.
The Danish presidency has said a number of times that it is going to take account of the need for transparency in the work of the Council.
Fru Diez de Riveras spørgsmål drejede sig rent faktisk om principper og procedurer. Men De afviste
So will this meeting be public or not, and will it really be held on the 25th?
Rådet er ganske klar over, at der skal tilvejebringes en interinstitutionel aftale mellem Europa­Parlamentet, Kommissionen og Rådet om samtlige fællesskabsinstitu­tioners faktiske gennemførelse af artikel 3b.
In particular with respect to the questions raised by Mr Landa Mendibe on a new restructuring plan for the Spanish iron and steel industry and its reception by the Council, including the possibility of organizing an open debate at this level, I would like to say the following: The Council has not received any plan from the Spanish government and can under no circumstances pre-empt any potential debate on this matter.
I den forbin­delse blev der på Det Europæiske Råds samling i Edin­burgh opstillet grundlæggende kriterier og gennemførel­seskriterier, som bør lægges til grund som supplement til Europa­Parlamentets nyttige forslag.
With respect to greater openness in the Council's decision-making, the presidency would like to refer the honourable Member to the statement made in Parliament on 20 January 1993 in connection with the presentation of its work programme.
Som De ved, er der taget kontakt på teknisk plan, og vi håber, at dette i nær fremtid vil føre til en fuldstændig forståeise mellem vore institutioner.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — (DK) The meeting on 25 February will be held as planned. It is the Council itself that decides in each instance whether or not a Council meeting will be open.
Jeg anmoder Dem om at besvare spørgsmålet endnu en gang.
PRESIDENT. — That concludes the first part of Question Time.
Men jeg må nu gøre opmærksom på, at det, som er indholdet i mine svar her, nøje svarer til konklusionerne fra Edinburgh, de er i smuk overensstemmelse med disse konklusioner. Det fastholder jo, at miljø er et grænseoverskridende problem, som behandles på fællesskabsplan.
BONDE (ARC). — (DA) I do not know whether there is a language problem here, but what I asked about was whether the Commission intends to publish its agendas, so that it is clear for all to see what kind of questions are on the agenda, say, today — for the meeting in Strasbourg this very Wednesday?
Og jeg må i øvrigt henvise til mine tidligere svar.
Can we order copies of working documents dealing with the appropriate points?
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Hovedspørgsmålet her i dag er, hvomår den endelige ratifikation af aftalen vil finde sted.
Our second question was whether a Member of Parliament can order documents which are demonstrably avail able from COPA, UNICE, the European Trade Union Confederation, ETUC, a lawyer's office in Brussels or a lobbyist in Florence.
Det er, som jeg sagde, ikke muligt at give nogen endelig fast besked herpå.
If, for one reason or another, the documents have come out of the Commission, does the Commission intend to give us our popular right to obtain the same documents as the lobbyists have?
Det afhænger, som jeg nævnte, af procedurerne i de enkelte landes parlamenter.
These were the two precise questions that I asked, and as far as I can tell, neither of them has been answered.
Det andet spørgsmål om forholdet til den amerikanske handelspolitik — sådan hørte jeg det — kan jeg ikke give noget svar på. Jeg kan ikke se, at det får særlig betydning for associeringsaftalen med Bulgarien.
In future, would the Commission publish its agendas, thus enabling elected representatives and the press to order working documents and proposals at the same time, at least, as they are made available to lobbyists, professional organizations and other outsiders?
BJØRNVIG (ARC). — Jeg vil gerne spørge den fungerende rådsformand, som nævnede, at miljøaspekter skulle indgå i alle sammenhænge: Hvordan stiller Rådet sig til Kommissionens forslag om, at der skal være moms på persontransport, som i hvert fald ikke er noget, der fremmer miljøet, da man ved, at bilforureningen er noget af det værste, vi har?
PINHEIRO. — (PT) I can assure the honourable Member that all documents issued by the Commission for distribution, either to interest groups or to anyone else, are sent to Parliament as a matter of course.
Det hænger igen sammen med subsidiariteten.
This procedure will continue, but hopefully more quickly.
FORMANDEN. — Da følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi under ét behandle spørgsmål nr. 12 af Garcia Arias (H-0042/93):
PINHEIRO, Member of the Commission. — (PT) Following the decisions adopted during the Council meet ings in Birmingham and Edinburgh, it emerged that one priority theme was to ensure greater transparency of the work of all the Community institutions.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Jeg beklager at måtte sige, at så vidt jeg kan se efter en hurtig gennemgang i mit hoved har dette spørgsmål ikke noget med subsidiaritetsprincippet at gøre.
As for the Commission's agenda, I would like to say to the Member that during the periodic meetings that I will have with the Enlarged Bureau I will attempt to make that body aware of the matters which the Commission intends to deal with and which are relevant to the work of Parliament.
FORMANDEN. — Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 9 og 10 blive besvaret skriftligt. (')
Obviously, however, there should be no problem with publishing or making public the agenda — as far as I am concerned — provided that doing so does not give rise to speculation on the matters to be dealt with.
Spørgsmål nr. 11 af Rawlings (H-0027/93/ændr.): Om: Associeringsaftalen med Bulgarien
The Commission is currently on the verge of putting into practice a first series of measures adopted on 2 December 1992 aimed at increasing the transparency of its activi ties.
Har Rådet til hensigt at give den spanske helhedsplan for jernindustrien en ret og rimelig behandling, der kan sammenlignes med den behandling, som Kom missionen gav den italienske jernindustri i 1989 i forbindelse med dennes omstrukturering, specielt i betragtning af de udviklingsmæssige problemer af regional art, som Asturien og Baskerlandet lider under?
These include: closer consultation with the Council on the annual legislative agenda; engaging in broader consultations before submitting proposals, for example by drafting green papers; publishing Commission documents in all the Community languages within the shortest possible deadlines; giving greater priority to the codification of legislative acts; and improving access to information. tion.
Kan Rådet oplyse, hvomår den endelige ratificering vil finde sted?
It does not necessarily reflect the position which the Commission is going to take.
Om: Rådet (industri): omstilling af jern- og stålindustrien strien
Would it be logical and legitimate for this document to be disclosed, since it might contradict the Commission's final position, in so far as there is other input apart from the report itself?
Den 25. februar samles Rådet (industri) for at drøfte jern- og stålindustrien i EF.
Would it be legitimate to say that we are going to discuss new tax mechanisms at a time when the markets are trying to cope with a tough climate?
Kan Rådet oplyse, hvad der er hovedtemaerne for drøftelserne?
It is for reasons like these that we do not normally publicize the Commission's agendas.
Hvilke problemer er der navnlig blevet konstateret, og hvilke løsningsmodeller er der tale om?
This does not mean, however, they are confidential.
Europa-Parlamentet er allerede blevet informeret om indholdet af aftalen i forbindelse med Luns-Westerterp-proceduren.
And it is my intention, whenever possible, to inform the Enlarged Bureau of the agenda we intend to follow over the coming weeks.
Har den spanske stat udarbejdet og forelagt EF den nye omstillingsplan for jern- og stålindustrien (CSI)?
All these measures are being adopted within the current interinstitutional framework.
Hvilke ændringer indeholder denne i forhold til den tidligere afviste plan?
In the most relevant cases, green or white papers will be drafted.
Vil planen blive drøftet, og vil den i så fald blive godkendt på samlingen den 25. februar?
Naturally, these papers will immediately be forwarded to Parliament.
Som det ærede medlem ved, skal ikke blot Europa-Parlamentet afgive samstemmende udtalelse om denne blandede aftale i henhold til artikel 238 i EØF-Traktaten, men aftalen skal ligeledes ratificeres af de tolv medlems staters parlamenter såvel som af partnerlandets parlament.
The early release of internal working documents not yet adopted by the college of commissioners could lead to a variety of interpretations, some of which might be far removed from reality and even damaging in that they stray from the final decision.
Men derer ingen tvivl om, at parlamenterne er klar over betydningen af, at Europa-aftalen træder i kraft så hurtigt som muligt.
As for approved documents, the Commission will forward its proposals to the European Parliament immediately after their formal adoption.
HELVEG PETERSEN, formand for Rådet. — Som svar på de ærede medlemmers spørgsmål ønsker jeg først og fremmest at understrege, at Rådet helt er klar over de sociale, økonomiske og regionale problemer, som Spa nien står overfor.
DESSYLAS (CG). — (GR) Mr President, I would like to ask you to please record in the Minutes and forward to President Klepsch my deep dissatisfaction, anger and indignation at the mutilation of Question Time, and more specifically, the questions on Political Cooperation, as well as the travesty and fraud of parliamentary inspection and the limitation and strangulation of the rights of Members, especially Members of small groups and small parties.
Det er ligeledes klar over, at problemet inden for den spanske jern- og stålindustri ikke kan adskilles fra de alvorlige problemer, der rejser sig for jern- og stålindustrien i hele Fællesskabet.
Specifically, when he changed the agenda and deleted the series of questions to make way for the debate on Yugoslavia during Question Time, he in effect violated the Rules of Procedure. There should have been

HELVEG PETERSEN stålindustri ikke kan adskilles fra de samlede problemer for jern­ og stålindustrien i hele Fællesskabet.
DESSYLAS either corresponds to or exceeds the average for the Community.
Når Rådet ikke da kunne acceptere disse foranstaltninger, skyldes det, at disse indebæreren undtagelse fra støtteko­deksen for jern­ og stålindustrien og kun kan godkendes, hvis Kommissionen i henhold til artikel 95 i EKSF­Traktaten vedtager en beslutning om undtagelse fra kodeksen efter samstemmende og enstemmig udtalelse fra Rådet.
When the European Council in Edinburgh adopted its new financial perspective, it made no statements regard ing supplements of the kind mentioned by the honourable Member.
For at kunne afgive sin samstemmende udta­lelse, må Rådet derfor have fået forelagt formelle forslag fra Kommissionen.
It follows that such supplements could only apply to the Structural Fund.
Derfor besluttede Rådet på samlingen den 24. november 1992 at vende tilbage til dette spørgs­mål i 1993 under det danske formandskab.
However, should any new Member States accede to the Community, it might be necessary to adjust the financial pperspective according-
Desuden erindrer jeg om, at mit spørgsmål omfatter et konkret spørgsmål vedrørende det bebudede — om end ikke bekræftede — møde i Rådet (industri) den 25. februar. Der er forlydender om, at dette rådsmøde på ny bliver udskudt.
PRESIDENT. — Mr Dessylas, what happened was that Mr Langer put forward a proposal that since there was not time to have the debate on Yugoslavia because of the rather long vote, that debate should take place this evening rather than tomorrow.
Parlamentet kan ikke blive ved med at arbejde på grundlag af forlydender.
I was actually in the House and President Klepsch then asked if there was anybody opposed to that proposal.
Vi må have oplysnin­ger.
Nobody did oppose it.
Jeg spurgte rent faktisk, om mødet bliver afholdt den 25. februar, og om det bliver offentligt.
He then took a vote and the House unanimously decided that was what it was going to do.
Det danske formandskab har flere gange erklæret, at det vil bestræbe sig på at indføre større åbenhed i Rådets arbejde.
CUSHNAHAN (PPE). — Commissioner, bearing in mind that these countries, given your own prognosis, will be net contributors, can you give an assurance that if they are accepted by the Community, there will be an increase in structural funds and that the same policy will apply with regard to allocation of whatever additional resources there are, so that these go to Objective 1 countries.
Bliver rådsmødet offentligt eller ej?
I do not want to carry on with the debate.
Og afholdes det rent faktisk den 25.?
I want to go on with questions to the Commission.
Desuden vil Kommissionen, hvad angår spørgsmålet om CSI, når den har fået forelagt en ny plan, uden tvivl bedre kunne give det ærede medlem den ønskede oplysning.
SCHMIDHUBER. — (DE) Yes, it is correct to say that the three countries I have named will be net contributors.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Mødet den 25. februar afhol­des som planlagt.
I must say I notice the presence of the Commission every week in committee and I welcome that.
Om rådsmødet vil blive offentligt, afgør Rådet selv i de konkrete tilfælde.
I notice the presence of the Commission every month in Strasbourg and I welcome that.
Det er ikke formandskabets afgørelse, det er det samlede Råds afgø­relse.
Would you be so kind as to tell me the legal authority by virtue of which Commission meetings are held in secret.
1993 i forbindelse med forelæggelsen af sit arbejdspro­gram.
What is your legal authority, please?
FORMANDEN. — Hermed er første del af spørgetiden afsluttet.
Now Switzerland has taken its own decision not, at this stage to be part of the EEA.
Jeg takker rådsformanden, og vi glæder os til at se Dem igen i næste mødeperiode.
Will Switzerland get these concessions and at the same time not have to pay for them?
FORMANDEN. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 41 blive besvaret skriftligt. (')
PRESIDENT. — As the authors are not present, Questions Nos 43 and 44 will be answered in writing. (')
Spørgsmål nr. 42 af Bonde (H­0101/93): Om: Offentlighed i Kommissionens arbejde
Question No 45 by Mr Cushnahan (H-0127/93)
GARCIA ARIAS (S). — (ES) På sin næste samling skal Rådet førstegangsbehandle de forslag, Kommissionen har fået forelagt af den person, der er udpeget til at modtage oplysninger og at udarbejde forslag om omstruktureringsplaner for den europæiske jern­ og stål­industri.
SCHMIDHUBER. — (DE) The payments into the Cohesion Fund of the EEA are laid down in the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and as you know the question of whether there will be compensation for the loss of Switzerland is still being deliberated.
Hvordan vil disse kriterier blive fastsat, for så vidt angår Spanien?
Various possibilities are conceivable.
Vil Rådet tage hensyn til, at det spanske marked har åbnet sig for det europæiske jern­ og stålmarked siden Spaniens tiltrældelse af Fællesskabet?
It is probable that the other countries will have to make up at least some of what the Swiss would have had to pay.
Vil der blive taget hensyn til, at det er et vigtigt marked for Fællesskabet, og vil der blive taget hensyn til de ofre, som ikke blot jern­ og stålsektoren, men også andre sektorer allerede nu bringer, f.eks. kulsektoren i Asturias, hvor tusindvis af arbejds­pladser allerede er gået tabt, og mange flere vil gå tabt, hvis den planlagte omstrukturering gennemføres?
At present there is no way of knowing what the consequences for payments to so-called cohesion countries of talks on trade policy with Switzerland might be which aimed at providing some kind of compensation for the effect of the EEA by means of bilateral agreements between the European Community and Switzerland.
PINHEIRO, medlem af Kommissionen. — (PT) I hen­hold til beslutningerne fra topmøderne i Birmingham og Edinburgh skal der sikres større gennemsigtighed og åbenhed i arbejdet i alle fællesskabsinstitutionerne.
Given that many of the applicant countries for Membership of the Community would be net contributors to the Budget, has the Commission evaluated the implications of enlargement on the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund?
Kom­missionens arbejdsprogram for 1993 er et vidnesbyrd om denne prioritet.
PRESIDENT. — Question No 46 by Mr Falqui (H0073/93)
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Jeg vil gerne gentage, at Rådet helt er klar over de sociale, økonomiske og regionale problemer, som Spanien står overfor, og er ganske klar over alvoren af disse problemer.
Will the future accession of such countries result in increases in these Funds?
Rådet har også ved adskillige lejligheder været imødekommende med hensyn til behandling af spanske stålproblemer.
Subject: The integration of environmental concerns into the European common transport policy and related investment under the future new Cohesion Fund
Rådet har endnu ikke modtaget formelle forslag fra Kommissionen, og derfor er jeg heller ikke i stand til at oplyse, hvilke kriterier der skulle findes i sådanne forslag fra Kommissionen. Det vil være kendt, så snart Kommis­sionens forslag når frem til Rådet.
The Commission has recently presented its White Paper on the future European Common Transport Policy in which general and fundamental principles of European planning on this matter are only generally outlined, especially as far as what is known as the principle of 'sustainable mobility' is concerned.
Kommissionen er i gang med at iværksætte en række foranstaltninger, der blev vedtaget den 2. december 1992 med henblik på at skabe større gennemsigtighed i dens virksomhed.
SCHMIDHUBER, Member of the Commission — (DE) Ladies and gentlemen, the Commission evaluated the additional annual expenditure of the Structural Fund on behalf of applicant countries in its opinions on the applications by the countries concerned.

PINHEIRO kortest mulige tidsfrist; højere prioritering af kodificeringen af retsakterne og forbedring af adgangen til informa tion.
PRESIDENT question — and I would like a precise answer— is: Is the Milan-Naples network part of this priority?
vedrørende problemerne inden for jern- og stålsektoren.
take part in decisions concerning the new European public infrastructure plan announced by President Delors in November.
Som man kan tænke sig, repræsenterer dette dokument udelukkende forfatternes synspunkter, og det afspejler ikke nødvendigvis den holdning, som Kommissionen vil indtage.
Can the Commission give this Parliament precise information as to the efforts the EEC is going to take to solve the environmental problems related to the increase of road transport following the construction of a TransEuropean road network?
Er det legitimt eller hensigtsmæssigt, at et sådant dokument offentliggøres, når det kan vise sig at være i modstrid med den endelige holdning Kommissionen vedtager, for så vidt som Kommissionen får andre input end denne rapport?
PALEOKRASSAS. — (GR) As regards the first question, we can be sure that the resources of the Cohesion Fund will be allocated, as stated in the Council decision of Edinburgh, in a wellbalanced manner between transport infrastructure on the one hand, and environmental protection on the other hand.
Det er den slags overvejelser, der normalt afholder Kommissionen fra at offentliggøre sine dagsordener.
What measures will the Commission take to increase the share of rail and waterways in transport markets?
Hvilket ikke er ensbetydende med, at de er fortrolige.
How much transport are such measures likely to take off the road?
Jeg har til hensigt, når det er muligt, at orientere Det Udvidede Præsidium om Kommissionens dagsorden for de kommende uger.
As for the second question, I am not at this time in a position to answer your question in concrete terms, but I am sure that Mr Matutes will be able to give you this information at the next available opportunity.
Samtlige disse foranstaltninger er vedtaget inden for rammerne af den nugældende interinstitutionelle aftale.
PALEOKRASSAS, Member of the Commission. — (GR) In its recent White Paper on the development of the common transport policy, the Commission presented its views with respect to which it w ill have to take greater account of the goals of the common environmental policy visavis the elaboration of policies in the transport sector.
Det betyder f.eks., at en periode med fact finding, hvor Kommissionen kontakter eksperter og interessegrupper, efterfølges af relevante hørings- og samarbejdsprocedurer.
This goal is especially applicable for infrastructure networks, which include transEuropean networks -something in which the Community is very interested.
I påkommende tilfælde udarbejdes grønbøger eller hvidbøger, som naturligvis straks tilstilles Parlamentet.
CRAMPTON (S). — We all accept then that rail transport is more environmentally-friendly than road transport.
Med hensyn til de øvrige dokumenter må der skelnes mellem arbejdsdokumenter og vedtagne dokumenter.
Even more environmentally- friendly on all counts is sea transport.
Når der er tale om inteme arbejdsdokumenter, der endnu ikke er blevet vedtaget af kollegiet af kommissærer, vil en for tidlig udbredelse af dem kunne føre til forskellige fortolkninger, hvoraf nogle måske afviger fra de faktiske forhold og endog kan få skadelige virkninger, hvis de afviger fra den endelige beslutning.
What I want to know from the Commission is, bearing in mind the Cohesion Fund countries, and Ireland is one of them, has the Commission given any real thought to routes across the Irish Sea and across northern England and the North Sea to the continent of Europe, thereby avoiding our congested Channel and involving different forms of transport by way of modal transport and perhaps even combining the two most environmentally-friendly forms of transport — sea transport and rail transport i.e. train ferries which operate so well in the Baltic.
Med hensyn til de vedtagne dokumenter fremsender Kommissionen sine forslag til Europa-Parlamentet umiddelbart efter den formelle vedtagelse.
So could we possibly have the Commission's view on train ferries across the North Sea and Irish Sea connecting up three countries in that way.
