Donelly (S). — (EN) Til forretningsordenen, hr. formand; vi har lige hørt, at Storbritannien har trukket sig ud af valutakursmekanismen inden for det Europæiske Monetære System.
GAREL JONES. — Again, I would say to the honourable Member that the concerns that are felt both within Community circles and amongst the public at large about the democratic deficit are, to a very large extent, addressed by the Maastricht Treaty.
Jeg tror, at dette spørgsmål er alt for alvorligt til, at jeg eller andre her straks tør udtale en dom. Rådet vil utvivlsomt diskutere det inden for passende rammer.
What, if anything, are you going to do about price differentials, in other words different prices for small and for large producers, to ensure differential support for deficit products from the Mediterranean?
Elliott (S). — (EN) Rådsformanden sagde, at det var et britisk problem — det er ikke et britisk problem.
ELLIOTT (S). — The President-in-Office said it was a British problem — it is not.
Vi forstår, at det britiske formandskab vil indkalde til et krisemøde for de europæiske finansministre for hele Fællesskabet i morgen tidlig i Bruxelles.
We understand that the British presidency is calling an emergency meeting of European finance ministers for the whole Community tomorrow morning in Brussels.
Det er et europæisk problem, og jeg mener, vi bør have en redegørelse i Parlamentet så tidligt i morgen som overhovedet muligt.
This is a European problem and I think we must have a statement to this House tomorrow morning at the earliest opportunity.
Formanden. — Hr. Elliott, jeg noterer mig det af Dem fremsatte ønske, men vil gerne gentage, at dette emne ikke henhører under denne spørgetid.
PRESIDENT. — The point is noted Mr Elliott but, let me say again, this is not the sitting to deal with this.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 2 af Dessylas (H0757/92):
PRESIDENT. — Question No 2, by Mr Dessylas (H0757/92)
Om: Reform af den fælles landbrugspolitik og følgerne heraf for små og mellemstore landmænd
Subject: Reform of the Community's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the impact on small and mediumsized farmers
Garel Jones. — (EN) Reformen af den fælles land brugspolitik indeholder præcise og specifikke bestemmelser til fordel for små producenter.
GAREL JONES. — The reform of the common agricultural policy does make specific and special provision for small producers.
F.eks. er der ikke over for små jordbrugere noget krav om braklægning.
For example, small producers of arable crops have no set-aside requirement.
Hvad angår de særlige produkter, han nævner i sit spørgsmål, så gælder det først og fremmest om Middelhavsprodukterne, at der normalt ikke er mangel på dem.
As regards the specific products he refers to in his question, first of all the Mediterranean products are not generally in short supply.
F.eks. er jeg ikke opmærksom på nogen mangel med hensyn til forsyningen med tobak.
For example, I am not aware of any shortage in the supply of tobacco.
Desuden behandles deres pro dukter mere rundhåndet end de produkter fra de nordlige lande, der nævnes i reformen. F.eks. hård hvede.
Also, their products are treated rather more generously than the northern products refer red to in the reform such as durum wheat.
Andre, der nævnes i hans spørgsmål — rosiner, bomuld og forarbejdede tomater — dækkes slet ikke af reformen.
Others referred to in his question — raisins, cotton and processed tomatoes — are not covered by the reform at all.
Rådet bedes oplyse, hvilke konkrete afgørelser der er truffet for hver enkelt vare?

Is it necessary for them all to be ministers, or can some of them be senior civil servants?
Garel Jones. — (EN) Jeg tror, det først og fremmest afhænger af retsgrundlaget og derefter af det beslut ningsdygtige antal i Rådet.
GAREL JONES. — I think it depends first of all on the legal base and then on the quorum of the Council.
Hvis disse to betingelser er opfyldt, så er svaret ja, det vil være legalt.
Provided those two conditions are met the answer is yes, it would be legal.
Formanden. — Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 3, 4 og 5 blive besvaret skriftligt. ')
PRESIDENT. — As the authors are not present, Questions Nos 3, 4 and 5 will be answered in writing. (')
Garel Jones. — (EN) Jeg kan kun gentage over for det ærede medlem, at dette, som hun ved, er noget, der henhører under den græske regering.
Question No 6, by Mrs Ernst de la Graete (H-0733/92)
Men som hun også ved, forholder det sig naturligvis sådan, at den græske regering ligesom alle vi andre er medlem af Europarådet.
Will the Council of Ministers for Agriculture provide details on the specific decisions taken for each product?
Det er en slags bagtæppe for det europæiske fastland, og vi har alle underskrevet konventionen om menneskerettighederne. Hvis hun eller andre vil forfølge sagen, så er det det rette forum.
How do they intend to deal with the severe effects on small and mediumsized farmers and what measures will they take in relation to Mediterranean agricultural produce for which there is a shortage of supply?
Om: Militærnægtere i Grækenland
Subject: Imprisonment of a Greek conscientious objector
I henhold til græsk lovgivning er der hverken mulighed for at nægte at aftjene militær værnepligt eller for i stedet at aftjene civil værnepligt. De Forenede Nationers Menneskerettighedskommission har allerede taget stilling til dette spørgsmål (resolution 1989/53) i lighed med Europarådet (henstilling nr. 87) og Europa-Parlamentet (beslutninger af 7.2.19832) og 13.10.1989 3)).
Greek law does not recognize the right to refuse to undertake military service or provide for alternative civilian service, although the United Nations and its Human Rights Commission have already pro nounced on this subject (United Nations resolution 1989/53), as have the Council of Europe (recommendation 87) and the European Parliament (in its resolutions of 7 February 1983 () and 13 October 1989 (?).
Har Rådet kendskab til sagen mod Tasos Georgiadis, der stadig sidder fængslet på trods af, at han blev frikendt ved militærdomstolen i Athen den 8. maj 1992?
Is the Council aware of the situation of Mr Tasos Georgiadis, who is in prison despite being acquitted by the Athens Military Court in its judgment of 8 May 1992?
Hvad agter Rådet at foretage for at sikre militærnægternes menneskerettigheder i Grækenland?
What steps does the Council intend to take to ensure that the human rights of conscientious objectors are respected in Greece?
Garel Jones, formand for Rådet. — (EN) Rådet har ikke kendskab til de forhold, som det ærede medlem nævner i sit spørgsmål, og det er ikke ting, der henhører under Rådets ansvar.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of the Council. — The Council would remind the honourable Member that a major objective of the reforms was to contain the escalating costs of the common agricultural policy.
Respekt for menneskerettighederne falder i alt væsentligt ind under de individuelle medlemsstaters kompetence, og de udøver deres kompetence inden for rammerne af deres internationale forpligtelser, i særdeleshed med hen syn til den europæiske konvention om menneskerettigheder. tigheder.
The agreement reached in May represented a significant step forward by switching the emphasis of support away from the end product and towards the producer. As a result, production in those sectors where there are surpluses should be contained.
Dessylas (CG). — (GR) Det er rigtigt, at den græske regering i 1974 underskrev konventionen om men neskerettigheder, som garanterer enhver person tanke, samvittigheds- og religionsfrihed.
Support for agriculture continues to take account of the income problems of farmers and to protect the environment of which they are the guardians.
Men den dag i dag overholder den græske regering ikke denne konvention, og omkring 400 militærnægtere af samvittighedsgrunde befinder sig i dag i militærfængsler eller andre fængsler.
The Council would also remind the honourable Member that the reduction of trade-distorting support is a major objective of the GATT round negotiations where the EC continues to seek a fair multilateral outcome.
Hvad vil Rådet foretage sig over for Grækenland, der ikke overholder Europa-Parlamentets beslutninger om fri religionsudøvelse, der som det eneste land i Europa ikke giver mulig hed for militærnægtertjenste, og som ikke overholder de internationale konventioner, som det selv har underskrevet?
The Council assures the honourable Member that it gave due consideration to the problems of Mediterranean agriculture in so far as they were affected by the reform proposals. It invites him to refer to the Official Journal of the European Communities for specific details of the reform's application to the products mentioned in his question.
Ernst de la Graete (V). — (FR) Jeg vil blot understrege, at for at være medlem af Det Europæiske Fællesskab skal man i princippet overholde visse demokratiske værdier, som formodes at være generelt gældende i Europa.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of the Council. — The Council is not aware of the facts outlined in the honourable Member's question, which are not matters within the Council's responsibilities.
Det er følgelig min opfattelse, at i dette tilfælde kræves mindst en diplomatisk indgriben.
Respect for human rights falls essentially within the competence of individual Member States who exercise their competence within
Blak (S). — Til forretningsordenen, hr. formand: Jeg bad om et tillægsspørgsmål, og jeg fik et nik fra Deres kollegaer, at det var i orden.
DESYLLAS (CG). — (GR) I am sorry, but the President-in-Office has not answered me.
Så jeg håber, at De accepterer, jeg får dette tillægsspørgsmål til spørgsmålet.
He avoided saying anything pertinent to the substance of my question.
Jeg vil ikke opholde mig ved de græske militærnægteres situation, men man bør vide, at den pågældende person allerede to gange er blevet frikendt ved en militærdomstol i Grækenland, men at han — i hvert fald op til den 8. juni — stadig sidder fængslet.
I refer to the special problems that will arise for small producers, not generally and vaguely farmers of any kind, but smallholders and in particular those who produce Medi

Spørgsmål nr. 7 af Alavanos (H-0734/92): mandskab fremsætter nogen kommentarer om Cyperns eller for den sags skyld nogen anden ansøgers mulige medlemskab.
Question No 7. by Mr Alavanos (H­0734/92)
Om: Perspektiverne for Cyperns optagelse i EF
Subject: Prospects for the accession of Cyprus to the European Community
Formanden. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 8 blive besvaret skriftligt. ')
ERNST DE LA GRAETE (V). — (FR) Mr President, I should just like to stress the fact that in principle, to be a member of the European Community it is necessary, if I am not mistaken, to show a certain respect for the democratic values which arc regarded as the norm within Europe.
Spørgsmål nr. 9 af Stewart-Clark (H-0742/92):
So I think that in this case at least some diplomatic action is required.
I forbindelse med forhandlingerne om en løsning på Cypern problemet under FN's generalsekretærs auspicier er der under drøftelsen af spørgsmålets forfatningsmæssige aspekter fremkommet en række synspunkter, som alvorligt bringer følgende tre frihedsrettigheder i fare, nemlig retten til at erhverve ejendom, retten til frit at vælge opholdssted og retten til at tage arbejde på øen.
At the talks organized by the UN Secretary General to find a solution to the Cyprus problem, views have been expressed concerning a possible constitution; these violate three basic rights, notably freedom to acquire property, freedom of movement and the freedom of work on the island.
Om: Forskelsbehandling på grund af alder i EF-institutionerne nerne
But it must be recognized that the person in question here has already, twice, been acquitted in Greece by a military court and that nevertheless, in any case on 8 June, he was still in prison.
Finder Rådet, at en eventuel accept af sådanne synspunkter udgør en væsentlig hindring for Cyperns optagelse i EF i betragtning af. at de er i fuldstændig modstrid med EF's grundlæggende principper?
Will the Council say whether the espousal of views of this nature constitutes a significant barrier to the accession of Cyprus to the European Community, given that they are totally contrary to the basic­principles of the Community?
Begge institutioner fastsætter stadig aldersgrænser på 35 år eller derunder som betingelse for ansættelse i alle stillingsgrupper. Men internationale institutioner som f.eks.
That is the sort of backdrop to the European continent and we are all signatories to the Convention for Human Rights.
ILO og de enkelte landes offentlige forvaltning, f.eks. i Det Forenede Kongerige og Irland, anser det ikke for nødvendigt at opstille aldersgrænser for ansættelse af tjene stemænd.
SELIGMAN (PPE). — Can the President­in­Office con­firm whether the Greeks have in fact ratified the Conven­tion on conscientious objectors? I am under the impres­sion they have not.
Med henblik på det kommende Europæiske År for De Ældre beder man Rådet overveje øjeblikkelig at tage initiativ til at bringe forskelsbehandlingen på grund af alder i EF-institutionerne til ophor.
GAREL JONES. — I am not aware of the answer to that question but, of course, as with all matters relating to this it should be directed to the Greek Government.
Garel Jones, formand for Rådet. — (EN) Som det ærede medlem ved, indgav Republikken Cypern en ansøgning om optagelse den 3. juli 1990.
GAREL JONES, president in office of the Council. — As the honourable Member is aware, the Republic of Cyprus submitted its application for membership of the Com­munity on 3 July 1990.
Rådet besluttede på samlingen den 17. september 1990 at overdrage ansøgningen til Kommissionen for at få en udtalelse.
At its meeting on 17 September 1990 the Council decided to refer the application to the Commission for an opinion.
1 overensstemmelse hermed vil Rådet reagere på ansøgningen, når det har fået Kommis sionens udtalelse.
Accordingly the Council will respond to the application once it has received the Commission's opinion.
Rådet vil tage hensyn til alle forhold, der har betydning for ansøgerens egnethed til medlemskab af Fællesskabet.
The Council will take account of all circumstances which have a bearing on the applicant's suitability for Community membership.
Det Europæiske Råd i Lissabon drøftede spørgsmålet om en fremtidig udvidelse af Fællesskabet.
The Lisbon European Council discussed the question of' the future enlargement of the Community.
Man besluttede, at forbindelserne med Cypern ligesom med Malta skal udvikles og udbygges på grundlag af associeringsaftalerne og deres ansøgninger og gennem en intensivering af den politiske dialog.
It decided that relations with Cyprus as with Malta should be developed and strengthened by building on the association agreements and their membership applications and by developing the political dialogue.
Garel Jones, j'ormand for Rådet. — (EN) Rådet gør opmærksom på, at der i vedtægten for tjenestemænd gives mulighed for at fastsætte en aldersgrænse i meddelelserne om afholdelse af udvælgelsesprøver. Det er overladt til hver enkelt institutions ansættelsesmyndighed at tage stilling til, om den vil gøre dette.
Finally the Council meeting on 20 July 1992 asked the Commission to submit initial suggestions in preparation for 5 October for the Foreign Affairs Council on ways of implementing the guidelines of the European Council concerning Cyprus among others.
Endelig opfordrede Rådet på sit møde d. 20. juli 1992 Kommissionen til over for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde som en forberedelse til den 5. oktober at fremsætte de første forslag til, hvordan Det Europæiske Råds retningslinjer skal iværksættes for bla. Cypern.
ALAVANOS (CG). — (GR) The President­in­Office gave us a very general answer, and the question I am resubmitting to him more specifically is that in a Member State of the European Community there should be free movement of capital, working people and goods, just as in any other Community country.
Det er klart, at man fra tyrkisk-cypriotisk side nægter disse frihedsrettigheder for Cypern.
In the negotiations on the Cyprus problem, it is known that on the Turkish side these freedoms are disputed in Cyprus itself.
I denne forbindelse vil jeg gerne have en kommentar fra formanden, for efter min mening kan det britiske formandskab spille en vigtig rolle i dette spørgsmål som følge af landets historiske bånd med Cypern.
I would like the President­in­Office to comment on this because I think the British Presidency should feel great responsibility concerning this matter in particular, granted Britain's historical relationship to the Cyprus affair.
Cassidy (PPE). — (EN) Jeg føler mig delvis opmuntret af svaret på dette spørgsmål, men ned slået over første del af det. Jeg glæder mig over, at Rådet har vist et godt eksempel.
BLAK (S). — (DA) On a point of' order, Mr President, I asked for a supplementary question and 1 had a nod from your colleagues to indicate that it was in order.

Jeg har nok strakt mig så langt, som jeg kan ved at sige, at Det Forenede Kongeriges praksis på dette område er god, og at jeg selv ville ønske, at den blev efterlignet i hele Fælles skabet.

Question No 9, by Sir Jack Stewart-Clark (H-0742/92) Subject: Age discrimination in EC institutions
Garel Jones. — (EN) Det ærede medlem har natur ligvis ret. Statsadministrationen i Det Forenede Kongerige har vist et eksempel, og i 1990 blev de sidste aldersbegrænsninger ved rekruttering til alle statslige lønklasser afskaffet.
GAREL JONES. — I would just repeat that I share the sentiments that the honourable Member has put forward.
Men som jeg siger, det er ikke noget, der vedrører formandskabet, og det tilkommer slet ikke mig at stille sådanne forslag.
Yet international institutions such as the ILO, and national civil services, for example in the UK and Ireland, do not feel the need to apply age limits for recruitment of their officials.
Om: Fællesskabets beslutningstagning
It is not for the Council to intervene in the competitions organized by other institutions.
I betragtning af at det britiske formandskab lægger stor vægt på subsidiaritet, vil Rådet da gå med til, at de lokale og regionale myndigheder fremover kommer til at spille en mere aktiv rolle i Fællesskabets beslutningstagning?
As regards competitions organized by its own department, the Council is in the process of reconsidering this question.
Ewing (ARC). — (EN) Jeg finder det altid morsomt at se, hvor dygtigt vor rådsformand kan sno sig fra næsten enhver form for ansvar.
ELLIOTT (S). — I am sure we all welcome the fact that the Council is going to look at this but I do not think we can just have one institution of the Community acting unilaterally. Indeed, quite the reverse.
Har rådsformanden ikke et overordnet ansvar vedrørende et spørgsmål, der er så grundlæggende som diskrimination imod en så stor del af borgerne i Europa?
When I have asked that Parliament should take action I was told that it would be very difficult for us to do that if' the Council and Commission do not do the same thing.
I særdeleshed da vi ved, at antallet af ældre, der forbliver i live, hele tiden vokser, så at en større del af vore borgere bliver ældre. Er det ikke lidt overfladisk af rådsformanden at sige, at det ikke er hans ansvar?
So I would have thought that if the Council is sincerely going to look at removing age discrimination, then the logical thing is that pressure should be put on the Commission — and, obviously, the Parliament, too, though we will take care of' that — to act in a similar way.
Men jeg glæder mig over hans svar om, at Rådet er ved at se på sagen igen.
It seems to me quite ridiculous that age limits are applied in the way they are, particularly on temporary appointments.
Vil han være i stand til at give os et svar herpå inden december?
It is quite unacceptable. So could we have some indication that the Commission will at least be strongly urged to look at its position again?
Som britisk minister ville jeg bestemt gerne anbefale den praksis, vi har i Det Forenede Kongerige, til Fællesskabet i almindelighed; men som det ærede medlem ved, er det op til Kommis sionen at stille forslag om initiativer på dette område, hvis den finder det rigtigt at gøre dette.
I have probably gone about as far as 1 can by saying that the United Kingdom practice in this matter is good practice and I myself wish it was emulated throughout the Community.
Garel Jones, formand for Rådet. — (EN) Rådet er helt klar over, at der er behov for i højere grad at inddrage lokale og regionale myndigheder i Fælles skabets beslutningstagning.
PRESIDENT. — Question No 10, by Mr Elliott (H0766/92)
Jeg vil også minde om, at lokale og regionale myndigheder allerede gennem idéen om partnerskab er stærkt inddraget i gennemførelsen af Fællesskabets regionale og sociale udviklingspolitik og forvaltningen af strukturfondene.
I happen to know, and the President-in-Office might be interested to know that his colleague, Robert Jackson, has written to Commissioner Cardoso e Cunha about this whole issue.
Kommissionen har i sine forslag om yderligere finansiering af Fællesskabet angivet, at det vil være ønskeligt at styrke idéen om partnerskab, og Rådet vil nøje se på præcise forslag, efterhånden som de måtte blive stillet.
The President-in-Office might also be rather shocked, as I was, to learn that the institutions of the Community, notably Parliament and the Commission, are now starting to exercise age discrimination even in temporary recruitment.
En naturlig følge af princippet om subsidiari tet er, at medlemsstaterne selv på nationalt plan bør beslutte, hvorledes princippet skal anvendes i deres stat.
However, would the President-in-Office not agree that the British Presidency is particularly well placed to make an issue of this with the Commission and with Parliament because the United Kingdom abolished age limits for recruitment to its civil service several years ago?
Det er op til medlemsstaternes regeringer at gøre dette i overensstemmelse med deres egne procedurer og nationale traditioner.
Given the emphasis which the British Presidency places on subsidiarity, does the Council agree that in future, local and regional authorities should play a more active role in Community decision-making?
Når jeg har anmodet om, at Parlamentet skulle foretage sig noget, har jeg fået at vide, at det ville være meget vanskeligt for os at gøre dette, hvis Rådet og Kommissionen ikke gør det samme.
I think I would be right in saying, although this is not a matter for the presidency, that employment ministers in Britain believe and hope that this might serve as a model for removing discrimination within the Commission.
