Kommissionen bedes oplyse, hvordan den har behandlet forslaget af 3. april 1991 fra det irske boligselskab Threshold om at etablere et europæisk naturvejnet, som skal forbinde naturparker og naturområder i de enkelte medlemsstater, og om den agter formelt at anerkende og yde støtte til et »Euro Enviro Route 91 «-projekt, som skal danne eksempel for et sådant vejnet.
Will the Commission state what consideration has been given to the establishment of a European Environmental Route linking natural parks or nature regions in each Member State, as proposed in a submission of April 3rd last, by the Irish housing agency, Threshold, and whether it is intended to provide formal recognition and operational expenses funding for a 'Euro Enviro Route 91' project which would act as model for such a route ?
Projektet »Euro-Enviro Route 91« blev sendt af THRESHOLD til Kommissionen den 2. april 1991.
The project 'Euro-Enviro Route 91' has been sent by Threshold to the Commission on 2nd April 91.
Efter at have set på sagen har Kommissionens tjenester svaret promotoren (THRESHOLD) direkte den 7. maj.
After a first examination, Commission services have replied directly to the promoter (Threshold) on May the 7th.
Derefter blev det samme projekt sendt af samme promotor til et andet direktorat i Kommissionen, der modtog brevet den 28. maj.
Subsequently, the same project was sent by the same promoter to another Directorate of the Commission who received the letter on May 28.
De tjenester under Kommissionen, der modtog det, er nu ved at se på projektet inden for rammerne af Fællesskabets aktionsplaner.
Commission services who received it are now examining the project within the framework of community actions.
Resultatet af denne undersøgelse vil snart blive fremsendt til promotoren, THRESHOLD.
The results of the examination will be transmitted soon to the Threshold promoter.
Spørgsmål nr. 84 af Di Rupo (H-0565/91)
Question No 84 by Mr Di Rupo
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvorfor den har afvist en anmodning om at deltage i ovennævnte udbud med den begrundelse, at den bydende ikke har referencer for lignende kontrakter omfattende mindst 1 000 arbejdspladser?
Could the Commission state its reasons for refusing an application in reply to the above call for tenders on the grounds that the applicant company lacked references for similar contracts involving at least 1000 workstations.
Kommissionen er enig med det ærede medlem om det princip, at dens tjenestegrene bør gøre mest muligt for at få et stort antal virksomheder med i tilbudgivningen, uafhængigt af disses størrelse og beliggenhed.
The Commission agrees with the honourable Member that in principle its services should ensure that a large number of undertakings have the possibility of competing, irrespective of their size or location.
Kommissionen har pligt til efter ret og billighed at foretage sine indkøb hos virksomheder af alle størrelser.
The Commission is required to purchase in an evenhanded manner from all sizes of undertakings.
Kommissionens indkøbsafdeling afgav i 1990 størsteparten af sine bestillinger til små og mellemstore virksomheder.
In 1990 the Commission's procurement services placed most of their orders with small and mediumsized undertakings.
Kommissionen skal som kunde foretage sine indkøb efter kontraktens størrelse og under iagttagelse af bestemte regler.
As a customer, the Commission is required to make its purchases on the basis of the size of the order and to respect the established rules.
I øvrigt står der i finansforordningen, at institutionernes tjenestegrene skal respektere princippet om det bedst mulige forhold mellem kvalitet og pris.
The Financial Regulation stipulates that the institution's services are obliged to respect the principles of the best choice where quality and price are concerned.
Det af det ærede medlem omtalte eksempel vedrører inventar til standardarbejdsplads for Kommissionens tjenestemænd og medarbejdere.
The case referred to by the honourable Member concerns workstations for the Commission officials and other staff.
Det drejer sig om inventar, der skal holde længe, hvorfor det er nødvendigt at have sikkerhed for fortsat fabrikation deraf i en årrække, også af reservedele og tilbehør.
As they had to be highly durable, a guarantee was needed that the equipment in question as well as spare parts and supplementary equipment would remain in production for several years.
Den størst mulige ensartethed af inventaret letter forvaltningen deraf i seksten år, som er middellevetiden for inventar af denne art, inden det kasseres.
The high degree of homogeneity of stocks facilitates the management of the equipment over a period of sixteen years, which is the average life of this type of equipment before it has to be replaced.
Erfaringen har vist, at disse kriterier skal forenes med hurtige leverancer, hvilket kun virksomheder af den vis størrelse kan garantere.
Experience has shown that in addition to these criteria, the firm must be capable of guaranteeing rapid delivery, which is something which only a firm of a certain size can provide.
Om: Kontrolstempling efter 1992
Subject: Hallmarking after 1992
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvorvidt den agter at forelægge forslag om indførelse af et fællesskabsdækkende system for kontrolstempling af ædle metaller, som handles inden for det indre marked, eftersom de nuværende forbrugerbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger i visse medlemsstaters kontrolstemplingssystemer ville blive alvorligt undergravet uden et system af ovennævnte art?
Can the Commission state whether it intends to bring forward a proposal to create a Community-wide system of hallmarking for precious metals circulating within the Single Market, given that without such a system the present arrangements for consumer protection which are offered by the hallmarking system in certain Member States would be severely undermined ?
Ædelmetalsektoren er på nuværende tidspunkt ikke harmoniseret inden for Fællesskabet, selv om der i 1977 gjordes forsøg derpå ved Kommissionens godkendelse af et forslag til direktiv fra Rådet, der senere toges tilbage, navnlig efter Europa-Parlamentets negative udtalelse.
The precious metals sector is not at present harmonized at Community level although attempts were made in 1977, with the approval by the Commission of a proposal for a Council directive. This proposal was subsequently withdrawn, in particular in view of an unfavourable opinion delivered by the European Parliament.
Følgelig er genstande af ædle metaller i nogle medlemslande underkastet nationale bestemmelser, der er divergerende.
Articles in precious metals have therefore been subject in certain Member States to national regulations which are divergent.
Denne differentiering har medført tekniske handelshindringer for den interne samhandel, hvoraf nogle er indberettet til Kommissionen.
This divergence has led to technical barriers to intraCommunity trade, some of which have been notified to the Commission.
I betragtning af denne situation har Kommissionen, selv om den har forståelse for ædelmetalsektorens problemer, besluttet ikke i øjeblikket at gennemføre en harmonisering, men at forfølge medlemsstater, der overtræder reglerne i EØF-Traktatens artikel 30 og efterfølgende, for at få dem til at bringe deres bestemmelser i overensstemmelse dermed.
In view of this situation the Commission decided, while aware of the problems posed by the precious metals sector, not to move towards harmonization at present but to take action against the Member States which are in infringement of the provisions of Articles 30 ff. of the EEC Treaty in order to ensure that they bring their regulations into line with the Treaty.
Men i betragtning af at anvendelse af disse artikler ikke alene fører til fuld liberalisering af denne sektor, især på grund af Traktatens tvingende bestemmelser (artikel 36) og Domstolens retspraksis, nemlig forbrugerbeskyttelsen og handelstransaktioners loyalitet, og for ikke yderligere at sinke eventuelle bestræbelser på harmonisering af national lovgivning, er Kommissionens tjenestegrene i øjeblikkel ved at foretage en bedømmelse af situationen i samarbejde med de pågældende branchekredse.
However, given the fact that the application of these Articles cannot by itself ensure the complete opening up of this sector, in particular because of the mandatory requirements laid down by the Treaty (Article 36) and by the case law of the Court of Justice, namely protection of the consumer and fair trade, and in order to ensure that any work on the harmonization of national legislation is not held up at a later stage, my departments are carrying out an assessment of the situation in conjunction with the relevant sectors.
Om: Mængdemæssig mærkning af levnedsmidlers bestanddele
Subject: Quantitative Ingredient Labelling
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvorvidt og hvornår den agter at forelægge et forslag om ændring af direktiv 79/112/EØF') for at gøre mængdemæssig angivelse obligatorisk ved mærkningen af levnedsmidler og nærmere bestemt procentdelen af den mest karakteristiske bestanddel, hvilket Kommissionen helt tilbage i 1989 (EFT nr. C 174 af 10. juli 1989) hævdede at ville følge op, da dette er et område, hvor EF-foranstaltninger er bydende nødvendige af hensyn til forbrugerbeskyttelsen?
Can the Commission state whether and when it intends bringing forward an amendment to Directive 79/112/EECx in order to make compulsory the quantitative indication, namely the percentage, of the most characteristic ingredients in the labelling of foodstuffs, a question which it claimed to be following up as long ago as 1989 (OJ No C 174 of 10 July 1989, page 18) and where EC action is urgently needed in the interests of consumer protection?
Den 9. maj 1991 erklærede det franske Forfatningsråd, at artikel 1 i Korsikas nye selvstyrelov, der i forvejen var blevet vedtaget af parlamentet, og hvorved det korsikanske folk anerkendtes »som en bestanddel af det franske folk«, var forfatningsstridig, hvorved det benægtes, at et etnisk og historisk mindretal har en identitet eller endog eksisterer.
On 9 May 1991, the French Constitutional Court deemed unconstitutional Article 1 of the new Statute for Corsica previously adopted by the French Parliament which recognized 'the Corsican people' as a constituent part of the French people, thus denying the identity and even the existence of an ethnic and historical minority.
Hvilke konklusioner drager Kommissionen heraf med hensyn til respekten for mindretals rettigheder som garanti for et demokratisk grundlag, hvorpå den europæiske opbygning skal baseres?
What conclusions does the Commission draw from this when respect for the rights of minorities is a guarantee of the democratic basis on which European integration must be built?
Det tilkommer ikke Kommissionen at udtale sig om en sag, der ikke falder ind under fællesskabskompetencen, men som er en medlemsstats interne anliggende.
The Commission cannot comment on a matter which is not within the remit of the Community and which is an internal affair of a Member State.
Spørgsmål nr. 88 af Ferrer (H-0585/91)
Question No 88 by Mrs Ferrer (H-0585/91)
Om: Foranstaltninger til afhjælpning af de negative virkninger af de indre grænsers fjernelse for arbejdstagere og bysamfund, som er afhængige af toldstederne
Subject : Measures to offset the negative repercussions of the removal of borders on workers and localities dependent on them
Gennemførelsen af det indre marked den 1. januar 1993 vil medføre fjernelse af de indre grænser, og denne foranstaltning vil i fuldt omfang berøre toldembedsmændene, de arbejdstagere, der er knyttet til toldbehandlingen og de bysamfund, hvor toldstederne i øjeblikket ligger, og hvor der er opstået en økonomisk infrastruktur, der er afhængig heraf.
The completion of the Community internal market on 1 January 1993 will entail the removal of borders, a measure which will have a significant impact on customs officers and all those whose work is connected with customs activities, as well as the localities where customs houses are currently situated and whose economic infrastructure is dependent on them.
Eftersom programmet MATTHAEUS er et fællesskabshandlingsprogram for faglig uddannelse af udelukkende toldembedsmænd, bedes Kommissionen oplyse, hvilke foranstaltninger den agter at iværksætte for at mindske de negative virkninger, som afskaffelsen af toldkontrollen vil få for andre arbejdstagere inden for denne sektor?
Can the Commission provide information on the measures it intends to take so as to offset the negative repercussions which the abolition of customs activities will have on the remaining workers in this sector ?
Kan Kommissionen konkret oplyse om programmer og foranstaltninger til strukturomlægning i bysamfund med toldsteder, navnlig dem, der ikke råder over alternative økonomiske aktiviteter som f.eks. turisme, industri o.a.?
Can it provide specific information on programmes and measures aimed at restructuring the localities where customs houses are situated, particularly those which lack economic activities such as tourism and industry which might offer an alternative to those linked to customs ?
I Europa-Parlamentets mødeperiode i februar 1991 havde jeg lejlighed til under besvarelsen af et af fru Ferrer stillet spørgsmål at underrette Parlamentet om de sociale og strukturelle følger af det indre markeds virkeliggørelse, som er en følge af Den Fælles Akt.
At the February 1991 partsession, in reply to a question by Mrs Ferrer, I spoke to the House on the social and structural consequences of the completion of the internal market created by the Single Act.
De krav, der derved stilles til os, indebærer en differentiering af opgaverne og en omstrukturering af de kvalifikationer, der i øjeblikket anvendes til aktiviteter i forbindelse med grænseoverskridelse.
The challenge facing us involves diversification of the tasks and redeployment of the skills currently employed in activities linked to frontier crossing.
Som tilføjelse til mine tidligere indlæg vil jeg gerne understrege, at Kommissionen og dens tjenestegrene som led i udnyttelsen af de europæiske strukturfonde vil bestræbe sig på at bidrage til opfyldelse af forventningerne inden for de aktivitetssektorer, der direkte berøres af afskaffelsen af Fællesskabets indre grænser.
In addition to what I said in my previous speeches, I should like to stress that, within the framework of the implementation of the European structural funds, the Commission and its
Der er for nylig indført forskellige fællesskabsprogrammer (EUROFORM, FORCE), hvortil medlems staterne opfordres til at forelægge deres nationale programmer.
Various Community programmes have recently been set up (EUROFORM, FORCE) for which Member States are being invited to put forward national programmes.
Hvad angår de foranstaltninger, der har med toldstedernes omstillingsproces at gøre, udarbejdede Kommissionen i august 1990 et fællesskabsprogram — INTERREG — som led i forordningerne om de europæiske strukturfonde i den hensigt at yde støtte til grænseegnene.
As these measures involve the redevelopment of localities dependent on customs activities, the Commission introduced in August 1991 a Community programme — INTERREG — as part of the regulations for the European structural funds, to provide aid to frontier regions.
I den meddelelse '), hvori medlemsstaterne opfordres til at fremsætte deres forslag i henhold til dette initiativ, anføres det udtrykkeligt, at skabelse af andre beskæftigelsesmuligheder i grænseområder, der i væsentlig grad mister arbejdspladser som følge af det indre markeds virkeliggørelse, skal vises særlig opmærksomhed.
The communications ' calling on Member States to submit proposals under this initiative explicitly provides that special attention should be given to the creation of alternative employment opportunities in frontier zones where significant job losses have occurred as a result of the completion of the internal market.
Som reaktion på denne opfordring har Kommissionen modtaget forslag til ca. 30 programmer.
In reply to this invitation proposals covering some 30 operational programmes have been received by the Commission.
Kommissionen forhandler i øjeblikket med de nationale myndigheder for at få godkendt størsteparten af programmerne inden udgangen af juli 1991.
The Commission is currently negotiating with the national authorities with a view to approving most of these programmes before the end of July 1991.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Question No 89 by Mrs Jepsen
Om: Klage vedrørende overtrædelse af Traktatens art. 85 og 86
Subject: Complaint concerning breach of Articles 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty
Kommissionen har i sit svar på mundtlig forespørgsel H-0397/91 ') vedrørende klage, fremsat første gang af tømmerhandler Mogens Turup i november 1984 og siden genfremsat september-oktober 1987, gjort gældende, at der i 1988 skulle være fundet en tilfredsstillende løsning på de af klageren kritiserede forhold.
In its answer to oral question H-0397/912concerning a complaint first submitted by Mr Mogens Turup, a timber merchant, in November 1984 and renewed in September-October 1987, the Commission claimed that in 1988 a satisfactory solution had been found to the state of affairs criticized by the complainant.
Den pågældende mener imidlertid ikke, at der hermed er skabt tilstrækkelig klarhed over spørgsmålet om brud på EF's konkurrencepolitik.
The person concerned does not, however, consider that this answer adequately resolved the question of breaches of EC competition policy.
Finder Kommissionen, at klageren har haft ret i at nedlægge protest over brud på Traktatens artikel 85 og 86?
Does the Commission think that the complainant was justified in protesting at breaches of Articles 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty ?
Spørgsmål nr. 90 af Pierros (H-0589/91)
No 3-406/242
Om: Høje afgifter på biler i Grækenland
Debates of the European Parliament
Kommissionens tjenestegrene har allerede rettet henvendelse til de danske og græske myndigheder med henblik på at indlede en dialog om motorkøretøjsbeskatningen i disse lande.
The Commission departments have already approached the Danish and Greek authorities with a view to initiating discussions on motor vehicle taxation in these countries.
Således giver Domstolens afgørelse af 11. december 1990 Kommissionen mulighed for i lyset af de i Traktatens artikel 30 og efterfølgende indeholdte almindelige regler at vurdere en intern beskatning, hvis urimeligt høje niveau kan skade varernes frie bevægelighed.
The judgment of 11 December 1990 of the Court of Justice of the European Communities empowers the Commission to assess, in the light of Articles 30 et seq. of the Treaty, domestic taxation of this sort where the excessively high level hinders the free circulation of goods.
Denne nye praksis fra Domstolens side følger den allerede ved to tidligere afgørelser skitserede linje, nemlig Stier-dommen af 4. april 1968 og Dundalk li-dommen af 22. september 1988.
The most recent ruling of the Court follows the line already laid down in two earlier judgments — the Stier Judgment of 4 April 1968 and the Dundalk-II Judgment of 22 September 1988.
I sidstnævnte afgørelse præciserede Domstolen udtrykkeligt, at Traktatens artikel 30 har til formål at eliminere alle foranstaltninger fra medlemsstaternes side, som hindrer fællesskabsintern import.
In the most recent judgment the Court ruled in particular that 'Article 30 of the Treaty is intended to eliminate all Member State measures which hinder the flow of imports in intraCommunity trade.
Det forhold, at nogle af disse hindringer skal sammenholdes med Traktatens særlige bestemmelser, f.eks. i artikel 95 om afgiftsmæssig forskelsbehandling, mindsker på ingen måde den generelle karakter af artikel 30's forbud.
The fact that certain of these obstacles must be examined in the light of the specific provisions of the Treaty, such as Article 95 on tax discrimination, in no way diminishes the general character of the prohibitions set out in Article 30'.
Kommissionens tjenestegrene har derfor foreslået de danske og græske myndigheder, at der i løbet af september afholdes et første møde herom.
My departments have therefore proposed to the Danish and Greek authorities that the first meeting on this topic should be held in September.
Spørgsmål nr. 91 af Harrison (H-0591/91)
Question No 91 by Mr Harrison
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Subject: Shipbuilding Intervention Fund
— at Kommissionen i den forbindelse har forbudt salget af NESL (Sunderland) uden nogen retrospektiv nyvurdering af en sådan handels finansielle følgevirkninger, nu forelægge Parlamentet den fulde ordlyd af den privatiseringsaftale, den i 1985 indgik med den britiske regering?
In view of the disclosures in the BBC 1 television programme 'Panorama' (21.30hrs Monday 20.5.91) alleging: the Commission's complicity with the UK Government concerning the manipulation of public funds to facilitate and accelerate the privatisation of British Shipbuilders, and the Commission's subsequent refusal to the sale of NESL (Sunderland) without retrospective reassessment of the financial implications of that deal, will the Commission now disclose to Parliament the full text of the privatisation agreement between itself and the UK Government in 1985 ?
Der blev ikke indgået nogen egentlig privatiseringsaftale mellem Det Forenede Kongeriges regering og Kommissionen i 1985.
There was no privatisation agreement as such between the United Kingdom Government and the Commission in 1985.
I henhold til bestemmelserne i artikel 6 i det femte direktiv om skibsbygning kunne Kommissionen kun godkende den omfattende produktionsstøtte, som Det Forenede Kongeriges regering agtede at give britiske værfter, hvis den blev ledsaget af omstruktureringsforanstaltninger, som ved at tilpasse værftsindustrien til de betingelser og restriktioner, der hersker på markedet, skal »gøre denne industri konkurrencedygtig og med tiden i stand til at klare sig uden støtte«.
Under the rules of Article 6 of the Fifth Shipbuilding Directive, the substantial volume of production aid which the UK Government intended to provide to British Shipbuilders could only be authorized by the Commission if it was accompanied by restructuring measures which by adapting the Shipbuilding Industry to the conditions and constraints prevailing in the market are designed to 'make the industry competitive and able ultimately to operate without aid'.
For at opfylde denne betingelse og gøre den omfattende støtte, man havde til hensigt at give, forenelig med Fællesskabets bestemmelser afgav Det Forenede Kongeriges regering et løfte om at gennemføre en parallel omstrukturering af de britiske værfters kapacitet med hensyn til civile skibe, hvilket medførte både privatisering og lukninger.
In practice to fulfill this condition and make the substantive amount aid envisaged compatible with the Common Market the UK Government gave an undertaking to carry out a corresponding structural adjustment to British Shipbuilders' merchant shipbuilding capacity, which involved both privatisation and closures.
Eftersom disse breve indeholdt fortrolige oplysninger, kan de ikke offentliggøres in toto.
Since these letters contain commercially confidential information they cannot be published in full.
Men som jeg sagde i mit svar på et lignende spørgsmål fra det ærede medlem i januar i år, er de relevante oplysninger i løftet fra 1985 blevet stillet til rådighed for enkelte medlemmer af Parlamentet, der har skrevet til Kommissionen med anmodning om at få sådanne detaljer, inklusive det ærede medlem selv.
However, as I stated in my reply to a similar question raised by the Honourable Member in January this year, the relevant information on the 1985 undertaking has been made available to individual members of the European Parliament who have written to the Commission requesting such details including the Honourable Member himself.
Spørgsmål nr. 92 af Bandres Molet
Question No 92 by Mr Bandres Molet
