Den belgiske lov af 7. august 1974, der garanterer eksistensminimummet, truer med ikke at finde anvendelse på familiemedlemmer og ægtefæller til vandrende arbejdstagere, som ikke selv er statsborgere i en af Fællesskabets medlemsstater. Kom missionen har indledt en procedure mod den belgiske stat og Kommissionen, idet den heri ser en overtrædelse af Forordning (EØF) nr. 1612/68(2).
I, of course, am not in possession of the rather detailed reply although I was here when Mrs Chalker made it, I wonder if he would agree that in the context of recent developments between the EEC and Turkey, the illegal occupation of Cyprus which has been condemned from every part of the world is a major obstacle and could he assure us that the Council is in fact trying to impress upon the Turkish Government that a removal of this obstacle would greatly help association between the EEC and Turkey?
Hvorfor skal den belgiske stat vente på en dom og ikke selv tage initiativet for at udelukke enhver mulighed for forskelsbehandling og således gøre en sand europæisk gestus?
TINDEMANS. — (NL) I think the question that has just been asked, certainly in the terms in which it has been stated, is a question concerning political cooperation, and not a question of the type we are now considering. dering.
Tindemans, formand for Rådet. — (NL) Rådet kan ikke tage stilling til, hvilken holdning der skal indtages af en medlemsstat, mod hvilken Kommissionen har indbragt klage ved Domstolen.
McMILLAN-SCOTT (ED). — For some years I have had the honour of advising a company in this field which makes this sort of equipment and which has supplied it to a great number of local authorities in the United Kingdom and, indeed, elsewhere in the European Community.
Denne politik kom i Det for enede Kongerige til udtryk i et prisfald på landbrugs produkter på 1,7% i 1985, mens forbrugerpriserne i Det forenede kongerige samme år steg med 3,1 %.
Let me repeat that, insofar as action by the Community is concerned, we have as yet received no Commission proposals in this connection.
Disse forslag er også et udtryk for den overbevisning, at den tidligere indledte restriktive politik må videreføres. Rådet er fast besluttet på at nå frem til en endelig afgørelse herom snarest muligt efter at have modtaget Europa-Parlamentets udtalelse. se.
Does the President not believe that the relevant organ of the European Economic Community should explain not only the political, but also the sociological, cultural and historical foundations on which the Treaty of Association and the possible Treaty of Accession of Turkey to the European Economic Community are based?

PRESIDENT. — Question No 59 by Mr Megahy (H-967/86):
Om : Valg af kommissionsformanden
Subject: EEC-Turkey Association Council
Ville Rådet være indforstået med, at kommissionsformanden blev valgt af de nationale parlamenter og Europa-Parlamentet? tet?
What reasons are there to justify the EEC's decision to convene the EEC-Turkey Association Council, when Turkey still keeps its army of occupation in Cyprus, a country associated with the EEC, in spite of the countless resolutions passed by the UN and the European Community?
Lomas (S). — (EN) Jeg er ministeren taknemlig for dette svar, men måske jeg lige må tydeliggøre et punkt, som jeg tror han kan have misforstået.
TINDEMANS, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) I should like to make it clear that at present there are no plans for any meeting of the EEC-Turkey Association Council.
Det er ikke bare et spørgsmål om en generel forøgelse af inflationen. De 11,50£ i udgifter om ugen for enhver britisk gennemsnitsfamilie er et direkte resultat af den fælles landbrugspolitik,og det kommer oven i enhver anden inflation, som måtte have fundet sted.
As to the meeting held last September, let me remind the House of the statement that the then President-in-Office of the Council, Mrs Linda Chalker, made before the European Parliament on 10 December 1986 in reply to questions placed on the agenda consequent upon the convening of that body.
Tindemans, formand for Rådet. — (NL) I henhold til traktaten (udnævnes Kommissionens medlemmer af medlemsstaternes regeringer efter fælles overens komst«.
TINDEMANS. — (NL) In the matter of Turkey's application for accession, in all previous cases the pro cedures that are laid down in the Treaties were adhered to.
Arbeloa Muru (S). — (ES) Hvis det ikke er muligt at få dette oplyst.kan vi så måske få at vide, hvad råds formanden, hr. Tindemans, der i nogle historiske taler af europæiserende tilsnit har citeret Karl den Dristige, mener personligt?
As on previous occasions, the Council decided to acknowledge receipt of the application and to apply the relevant procedure as laid down in the Treaties.
Jeg vil blot gøre opmærksom på, at den grundlæggende filosofi bag den fælles landbrugspolitik var at sikre landbrugerne en rimelig indkomst ved hjælp af prispolitikken.
Article 8 of the European Single Act also stipulates that before the Council reaches a decision on any application for accession the agree ment of the European Parliament is required.
Men på baggrund heraf kan jeg ikke i dag konkludere, at den landbrugspolitik, der er ført de seneste år, skulle være årsagen til en urimelig prisstigning.
The Council's decision, which conforms to the foregoing provisions on all points, is consequently an interim procedural decision that in no respect anticipates any substantive content.
Tindemans. — (NL) Jeg føler mig enormt smigret over, at man læser mine dokumenter, ja endog mine taler.
The Council has in no sense sought to deal with the Turkish application differently from any previous applications for accession, and has applied the provisions of the Treaties to the Turkish application in the same manner as on previous occasions.
Jeg vil blot sige, at det i den såkaldte Tinde-
The Com munity is a constitutional community.
Ved han, at hr. Kinnock, hr. Lomas' fører, har droppet Arbejderpartietsfaste beslutning om at føre Det forenede Kongerige ud af Europa? Tyder det ikke på, at medlemskab af Fællesskabet ikke har de konsekvenser for Det for enede Kongerige, som hr. Lomas påstår?
Since the Council is aware that as soon as the European Single Act enters into force the European Parliament will have a part to play in the accession procedure by giving its approval, it

Læser Rådets formand pressemeddelelser fra Rådet af finansministre, og vil han kommentere det spørgsmål, jeg rejste?
Tindemans also considered it appropriate to include a reminder of that fact in its decision.

TINDEMANS. — (NL) The original question con cerned the EEC-Turkey Association Council.
Jeg foretrækker imidlertid at undlade at besvare det spørgsmål, jeg her har fået stillet.
I have the impression that this question bears no relation to that.
Spørgsmål nr. 70 af McMahon (H-
Question No 60 by Mr Newens
Om: Udvidelse af momssatserne som en del af gennemførelsen af det indre marked
Subject: EEC-Cyprus Association Agreement
Det ville være yderst risikabelt, hvis jeg her som belgisk udenrigsminister kom ind på afgiftskontroversen.
It is quite probable that what would have been considered to be a satisfactory reply just a few months ago would now be felt to be out dated.
Parlamentet kan eventuelt stille et spørgsmål til min kollega, finansministeren i den belgiske regering. Han kommer her i næste mødeperiode.
This is the only way to explain a situation being considered as acceptable at some point in the past, but certainly not being seen to be so today.
Kan Rådet oplyse Parlamentet om resultatet af finansministrenes møde den 11. maj vedrørende en udvidelse af moms grundlaget som led i Fællesskabets program for gennemførelsen af det indre marked, og om Kommissionen fremlagde konkrete forslag om forøgelse af momssatserne for varegrupper, af hvilke der i øjeblikket enten ikke opkræves moms eller som er fritaget for moms i visse medlemsstater?
Following the most recent round of negotiations between the EEC and Cyprus and the work of the EEC-Cyprus Association Council held on 16 December 1986, what stage has been reached in these negotiations, whose purpose is to carry out the second stage of the Association Agreement with a view to a Customs Union between the Community and the Republic of Cyprus?
David Martin (S). — (EN) Jeg beklager, at rådsformanden har besluttet sig til at give så undvigende svar på de spørgsmål, der stilles ham.
TINDEMANS. — (NL) I am not aware of any new question arising in the connection, but let me repeat that the European Economic Community is a constitutional community.
Må jeg spørge ham, hvilket pres den britiske regering lægger på rådsformanden for at holde spørgsmålet om moms borte fra dagsordenen til efter valget i Det forenede Konderige?
This matter is covered by Article 237, which stipulates that an application for accession must be referred by the Council to the Commission, which subsequently must deliver an opinion.
Tindemans, formand for Rådet. — (NL) Kommissionens forslag om størrelsen af momssatserne og disses struktur på grundlag af den fremgangsmåde, som er anbefalet i del III af hvidbogen, er endnu ikke blevet fremsendt til Rådet. Først når Rådet har behandlet disse forslag, vil det kunne udtale sig om det spørgsmål, det ærede medlem har stillet.
Pursuant to the European Single Act, the European Parliament must then also deliver a favourable opinion, and the Council must then rule unanimously.
Marschall (ED). - (EN) Det blev bekræftet her i salen i aftes af kommissær Christophersen at Kom missionen ikke havde vedtaget nogen forslag om moms.
TINDEMANS, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) The negotiations between the European Economic Community and Cyprus on the transition to the second stage of the Associciation Agreement were resumed on 28 April 1987.
Er det derfor ikke helt umuligt, at noget pres kan lægges på rådsformanden, når der ikke er nogen forslag for Rådet at overveje?
These are crucial, but highly complex, negotiations, since their purpose is — as the House is aware — to draw up the conditions under which a customs union between Cyprus and the Community can come into being.
Tindemans. — (NL) Jeg vil gerne — med Deres tilladelse — have lov til at holde mig udenfor en britisk debat.
I am in a position to state that these negotiation are now entering their final phase, and I hope they can be concluded in the very near future.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 71 af Lizin (H130/87):
MARSHALL (ED). — The President-in-Office of the Council did say that the Council would have to have a unanimous vote on this application.
McMahon (S). — (EN) Selv om rådet endnu ikke har drøftet denne sag, vil rådsformanden måske oplyse forsamlingen om, hvorvidt han er enig i det syns punkt, der offentligt er fremsat af den belgiske finansminister om, at formålet var at forøge momsens grundbeløb, så man kunne nedsætte den almindelige beskatning.
NEWENS (S). — In expressing thanks for that reply, may I underline the importance of these negotiations which will deeply affect the maintenance and develop ment of trade between Cyprus and the Community, particularly at a time when there are enormous problems created for the Cypriot people by the Turkish invasion and continued occupation of their territory.
Hvilket råd kan han give dem af os, der bor i medlemsstater.hvor momsen på bøger, aviser og børnetøj for tiden er nul, når man spørger os om det te under den kommende valgkamp i Det forenede Kongerige?
Can the President-in-Office go any further and indicate when he anticipates that the discussions on the final stage will be finally concluded and when it is estimated that the agreement will come into force?
Tindemans. — (NL) Jeg vil gerne gentage, at Rådet endnu ikke har modtaget forslag.
TINDEMANS. — (NL) Let me remind the House that the Council must reach its decision after opinion of the Commission has been made known and after the European Parliament has delivered its opinion.
Derfor kan jeg ikke udtale mig herom.
That means in the final stages of the procedure and not at the beginning.
For det andet kan jeg naturligvis ikke her kommentere, hvad der er foreslået af finansministrene på nationalt plan.
Article 237 states that the Coun cil must refer the application for accession to the Commission.
Tindemans, formand for Rådet. — (FR) For så vidt angår spørgsmålet om forhandlingerne om indgåelse af en fiskeriaftale med Marokko, vil jeg gerne minde det ærede medlem om det svar, jeg gav i Europa-Parlamentets sidste mødeperiode på spørgsmål nr. H996/86 af hr. Ulburghs, idet jeg skal tilkendegive, at der siden da ikke er indtruffet nye elementer.
TINDEMANS. — (NL) All I can add is this: After two sessions on 28 and 29 April 1987 the negotiations between the EEC and Cyprus were continued last week, and they will again be resumed in the near future.
Patterson (ED). — (EN) Måske rådsformanden vilhenlede forsamlingens britiske Labour-medlemmers opmærksomhed på Kommissionens erklæring ved mødets begyndelse om, at ikke blot foreligger der ingen forslag for Rådet, men at Kommissionen heller ikke har vedtaget nogen forslag?
On Friday 8 May, following the last round of talks with the Commission, the Cypriot delegation returned to Cyprus for consultations with its government.
Må jeg derfør ikke bede dem om at holde op med at piske på denne åbenlyst døde hest?
Let me point out, incidentally, that the negotiations on behalf of the Community are conducted by the Commission.
Lizin (S). — (FR) Kan vi i dette sammentrængte svar måske trænge lidt mere ind i enkeltheder vedrørende de respektive holdninger og spørge, i hvilken ud strækning Rådet ønsker at fastholde en vattet fortolkning, for så vidt angår grænserne for det marokkanske territorialfarvand ?
MARSHALL (ED). — The President-in-Office stated that it is the Commission which negotiates on behalf of the Community, but can he encourage the Commission to bring these negotiations to a very early conclu-
Tindemans. — (FR) De fiskeriaftaler, Fællesskabet har indgået, indeholder udtrykkelige henvisninger til overholdelse af havretskonventionen og folkerettens regler. Det er således, at fællesskabets og størsteparten
Can he also confirm that the application by Turkey will be treated in the same way as all other applications for member ship of the Community and that questions of religion and sectarianism will not be taken into account?

information concerning the matter raised by the hon ourable Member, and that the Council has not adopted, and cannot in any event adopt, a position either way on this matter.
Fællesskabet forpligter sig til at tage alle nødvendige skridt til at sikre, at dets fartøjer overholder bestemmelserne i nærværende aftale og de love og forordninger, der styrer fiskeriaktiviteten i Marokkos fiskerizone, og som er forenelige med De for enede Nationers konvention om havret og andre internationale retsregler.
VAN HEMELDONCK (S). — (NL) May I ask if the Council has taken note of the recommendations of the Vetter report concerning the right of asylum, and if arrangements have been made in the TREVI group concerning the possibility of expelling asylum-seekers, or those seeking employment from Community territory? tory?
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 74 af Boesmans (H947/86):
TAYLOR (DR). — Is the President-in-Office aware that the present negotiations, far from being welcome, have encountered considerable opposition from the Cypriots in Northern Cyprus?
Om: Konferencen mellem EFs medlemsstater, landene i Mel lemamerika og Contadora-gruppen i Guatemala i februar 1987
Is he aware that the association agreement requires the Community to treat both Turkish and Greek Cypriots fairly without favour to either side?
Spørgsmålene om territorial afgrænsning falder i hen hold til Romtraktatens bestemmelser uden for Fællesskabets kompetence.
Therefore, will the present negotiations only be with one side and are we not really taking nonsense about a customs union between Cyprus and the Community when, in fact, there is not even a customs union within that island?
Derfor hører ud fra et internt synspunkt udvidelsen og afgrænsningen af territorial farvande og økonomiske eksklusivzoner i medlems staterne ind under disses overhøjhed.
Until the barriers within that island are removed, we cannot move forward one inch towards a customs union with Cyprus and is that not the reason for the delay in these negotiations?
Er det korrekt, at USAs særlige udsending, Philip Habib, har haft hemmelige samtaler både i Bruxelles og i de øvrige EF-hovedstæder for at forhindre, at EF tog nogle initiativer i Guatemala, som ikke behagede USA, og gav EF efter for dette pres?
I can assure Mrs Van Hemeldonck, in my capacity as a Belgian Minister, and not as President-in-Office of the Council, that the incident to which she refers concerned foreign nationals who were not in possession of the requisite immigration documents required by Belgium.
Formanden. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 72 blive besvaret skriftligt (')·
But this does not mean that either the Immigration Department or the Belgian authorities exceeded the bounds of their ordinar}' duties in relation to this incident.
Vi fortsætter med spørgsmål til udenrigsministrene.

Question No 63 by Mr Caño Pinto (H-65/87)
Om: Fængsling af menneskerettighedsforkæmpere i Cuba
Subject: Interinstitutional budget agreement
Tindemans, formand for udentigsministrene. — (NL) De besøg, som Philip Habib, De forenede Staters sær lige udsending, aflagde i forskellige europæiske hovedstæder 1 januar 1987, var af informativ karakter.
TINDEMANS. — (NL) In my first answer I said that these were crucial, but highly complex negotiations.
De Tolv fik tilslutning af en række latinamerikanske lande, som også underskrev sluterklæringen for konferencen i Guatemala.
Where the internal situation is concerned, you know that the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Perez de Cuellar is seeking to bring about a solution to the problems arising from the internal situation in Cyprus.
Har udenrigsministrene i politisk samarbejde kendskab hertil, og kan de gøre noget for at udvirke, at disse fanger frigives?
What is the Council's position concerning the interinstitutional agreement between Parliament, the Commission and the Council proposed by the Commission in its programme for 1987 and which would establish in advance a ceiling for the major areas of budget spending for each financial year?
Tindemans, formand for udenrigsministrene. — (FR) Fællesskabets udenrigsministre bekræftede i deres er klæring om menneskerettighederne den 21. juli 1986, at De Tolv tilstræber universel overholdelse af men neskerettighederne.
Is the Council aware that on 6 January 1987, some twenty Turkish citizens holding valid board ing passes and passports were prevented from boarding a scheduled flight from Geneva to Brussels at Geneva Airport, Switzerland?

Jeg vil gerne spørge formanden for udenrigsministrene, om han vil gøre dette i næste uge under præsident Arigas' besøg.
Can the Council state the international legal instrument which justified this action and whether all non-EEC travellers are treated in this way?
Erklæringen af 21. Juli 1986 hylder de mennesker og ikke-regeringsorganisationer i hele verden, som har ydet værdifulde og modige bidrag til sikring og frem me af menneskerettighederne.
TINDEMANS, President-in-Office in the Council. — (NL) In its. communication 'Making a success of the Single Act — a new frontier for Europe' the Commission proposes that an interinstitutional agreement should be concluded for the express purpose of improving decisionmaking on budgetary matters.
De Tolv understregede ved denne lejlighed, at deres omsorg for menneske rettighederne ikke kunne betragtes som en indblanding i et lands interne forhold.
This communication is now under consideration in our appropriate departments.
De er desuden over bevist om, at hverken mangelen på økonomisk og social udvikling eller en overbevisning eller en ide ologi kan retfærdiggøre nægtelse af borgerlige og poli-
It would be premature for me to give any answer that would anticipate the terms of the solution to budgetary problems that we are all endeavouring to secure.
Tindemans. — (NL) Jeg synes, at det ærede medlem har udtrykt sig for pessimistisk.
TINDEMANS, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) I am sorry to have to say that the Council has no
Tindemans omstændigheder uden tvivl var noget konstruktivt og positivt.
This process has already come to be known, in parliamentary jargon as 'interinstitutional warfare'.
Under vores samtaler med lederne fra et af disse mellemamerikanske lande vil vi naturligvis bringe hele stiuationen i dette område på bane.

mentet som andetsteds, tilkendegivet, at de støtter Cyperns uafhængighed, suverænitet, territoriale integ­ritet og enhed.
Should not the Belgian presidency instead be con centrating its efforts on a European initiative to strengthen the EMS?
Det er deres opfattelse, at det er vigtigt, at De forenede Nationers generalsekretær støttes i den mellemkomst, der på grundlag af relevante resolutioner i FN er pålagt ham af De forenede Nationers Sikkerhedsråd.
I would like to point out to the President-in-Office just how serious the consequences of this warfare are obstructing the basic purposes of the European institutions and blocking movement towards European unity.
Den har til dato stået som udtryk for den bedste vej til fremskridt henimod er retfærdig og varig løsning af Cypern­problemet.
From this point of view, I believe that the Council bears a heavy responsibility, and I would like to ask if it is ready to change its attitude in the future.
McMahon (S). — (EN) Har formanden nogen kom­mentarer til andre medlemsstaters sparsomme tilste­deværelse på Guatemala City konferencen?
TINDEMANS, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) The Belgian Presidency can only repeat that it is doing everything in its power to strengthen the European Monetary System.
Jeg for­står, at kun fire medlemsstater var repræsenteret.
In the meantime use of the ECU in trade and in the international financial world, as well as by travellers, continues to increase.
Vil han også kommentere det interview, han gav, og som blev refereret i det belgiske blad Le Soir?
The ECU is the fourth-largest currency for the issue of Eurobonds, and traveller's cheques are already avail able in ECU.
Vil han yderligere kommentere den artikel, der offentliggøres i denne uge i Financial Times, og hvori det påpeges, at den nicaraguanske økonomi ødelægges på grund af den amerikanske aggression og udgifterne for nicara­guanerne til at forsvare sig mod Reagans »cow­boys«?
Having regard to the fluctuations between the different currencies, the ECU is coming into greater and greater use as a more stable form of currency for making payments in international trade.
Tindemans. — (NL) Jeg forstod ikke, hvem der havde givet dette interview i Financial Times.
TINDEMANS. — (NL) I have at all times been will ing to aim for interinstitutional solutions.
Jeg vil blot sige, at De Tolv — med én undtagelse på grund af særlige forhold — alle var repræsenteret i Guatemala­City på dette møde, som var det tredje i en række møder mellem De Tolv, de fem mellemamerikanske lande og Contadora­gruppen.
On the last day of the Belgian Presidency in 1982 we reached agreement on a three-cornered approach, and I am still proud of that.
