Men bare for at understrege, at jeg personlig forstår de vanskeligheder, som den spanske regering står overfor, kan jeg fortælle det ærede medlem, at i mit land har British Steel måttet nedskære sin arbejdsstyrke fra 130.000 til 50.000 inden for ti år.
But simply to underline the fact that I personally appreciate the difficulties that the Spanish Government is facing, 1 can tell the honourable Member that in my own Member State. British Steel had to reduce its manpower from 130,000 to 50,000 within a decade.
Det er meget vanskelige og smertelige beslutninger for enhver medlemsstat, og jeg er sikker på, at når disse ting bliver overvejet, vil man se på dem på en så konstruktiv og positiv måde som muligt.
These are very difficult and painful decisions for any Member State and I am sure that when these matters come to be considered they will be looked at in as constructive and sympathetic a manner as possible.
DÜHRKOP DÜHRKOP (S). — (ES) Jeg vil også gerne takke rådsformanden for hans svar, men må ligesom mine kolleger gentage, at svaret ikke er tilfredsstillende, eftersom han ikke har besvaret nogen af de konkrete spørgsmål.
DÜHRKOP DÜHRKOP (S). — (£5) I too thank the President of" the Council for the answers he has tried to give, but I must also agree with my colleague and repeat that it is not satisfactory, because he really has not answered any of the specific questions.
Jeg vil gerne insistere på, at der gives et svar på den mistanke, som også min kollega kom ind på, nemlig om der sker en behandling, som kan sammenlignes med den måde, hvorpå man behandlede den italienske virksomhed.
I must emphasize that there is a need to respond to the suspicion, which my comrade has expressed, that it is not receiving comparable treatment to that given to the Italian firm.
Jeg vil følgelig gentage mit spørgsmål: Hvilken kapacitetsreduktion påtænkes i planen for Spanien, set i forhold til virksomhedens samlede kapacitet?
So, I repeat my question word for word: what reduction in capacity in comparison with the capacity of the undertakings is offered in the Spanish plan?
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Jeg er det ærede medlem taknemmelig for det spørgsmål.
GAREL JONES. — I am grateful to the honourable Member for that question.
Han kommer fra en del af Det Forenede Kongerige, hvor jeg selv er født, og det kan måske tjene til nogen opmuntring, i det mindste for de spanske medlemmer, der er bekymrede over rekonstruktionen af deres egen stålsektor, at den del af Det Forenede Kongerige, som det ærede medlem repræsenterer, faktisk inden for de sidste ti år har lidt ikke bare under betydelige nedskæringer inden for sin stålsektor, men også inden for kulindustrien.
He comes from a part of the United Kingdom where I was myself born and it might be of some encouragement, at any rate to the Spanish Members who are concerned about the reconversion of' their own steel industry, that the part of the Kingdom that the honourable Member represents has in fact suffered over the last decade, from a substantial rundown not only in its steel industry but also in its coal industry as well.
Men det forholder sig sådan, at i løbet af de sidste ti år —jeg tænker nu særlig på stålindustrien — er disse arbejdstagere og disse kvalifikationer blevet anvendt på en ny måde, der faktisk er ret opmuntrende.
The fact is that over the last decade — I am thinking particularly of the steel industry now — those workers and those skills have been redeployed in a way which is actually rather encouraging.
For så vidt det generelle angår — stimuleringen af efterspørgslen og genopbygningen af økonomien — så er det første, vi alle bør gøre, at nå en tilfredsstillende afslutning på GATT-runden.
In so far as the general points arc concerned — the encouragement of' demand and the rebuilding of'the economy — the first thing we can all do is to achieve a satisfactory conclusion to the GATT round.
Det vil i sig selv indgyde ikke bare den europæiske økonomi, men hele verdens økonomi tillid.
That in itself' will not only strike a note of confidence in the European economy but in the world economy as well.
Vi havde nogen diskussion om dette her i Parlamentet i formiddags.
We had some discussions about that in this House this morning.
Associeringsaftalerne med de østeuropæiske lande indeholder naturlig vis tilstrækkelige sikringer til at forhindre dumping, men det er naturligvis ikke meningen, at de skal være en undskyldning for at forhindre eksport til Fællesskabet fra Visegrad-landene, som de har behov for for at stimulere deres egne økonomier og faktisk samtidig støtte deres egne demokratier.
The association agreements with the Eastern European countries do contain sufficient and adequate safeguards to prevent dumping but of' course they are not intended to be an excuse to preveni exports to the Community by the Visegrad countries which they need in order to lift up their own economies and indeed at the same time underpin their own democracies. cies.
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Jeg beklager, men bortset fra igen at give udtryk for den forståelse, som jeg tror, enhver medlemsstat i Fællesskabet, der har gjort denne erfaring, må have, så må jeg sige, at disse ting i virkeligheden henhører under Kommissionen og ikke Rådet.
GAREL JONES. — I am sorry, but apart from reiterating the understanding that I think every Member State in the Community who has gone through this experience would have, I have to say that these are matters which are really for the Commission and not for the Council.
Hvad de spanske medlemmer har opnået i dag er at henlede opmærksomheden på den store betydning, man fra alle fløje her i Parlamentet og fra alle regionerne i Spanien tillægger dette spørgsmål.
What the Spanish Members have achieved today is to highlight the enormous importance that they, from all sides of the House and from all regions in Spain, attach to this matter.
Jeg er sikker på, det er noget, som Rådet og Kommissionen nøje vil lægge mærke til.
I am sure that is something that the Council and the Commission will take serious note of.
VAYSSADE (S). — (FR) Jeg kommer fra Lorraine, en region, som også kender til omstrukturering af jern- og stålindustrien, og jeg vil gerne spørge formandskabet, dels om det har i sinde på næste rådsmøde at foreslå handelsmæssige beskyttelsesforanstaltninger for det europæiske stål i overensstemmelse med de procedurer, som er fastlagt i EKSF-Traktaten, og dels om det kan oplyse, hvor mange industrilande uden for EF der importerer stål fra østlandene.
VAYSSADE (S). — (FR) I come from Lorraine, a region which has also been through a restructuring of' the iron and steel industry and I would like to ask the President of the Council, first, whether he is going to propose any trade protection measures for European steel at the next Council, in line with the procedures set out in the ECSC Treaty and. secondly, if he can give an indication of how much steel nonEEC industrialized countries import from the countries of" Eastern Europe.
Alex SMITH (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg forstår, at hr. Tristan Garel Jones varen af de ministre i regeringen, der underskrev et certifikat om immunitet af hensyn til statens interesser, for at undgå at skulle vidne i en retssag, der for nylig fandt sted i Det Forenede Kongerige.
SMITH, Alex (S). — Mr President, I understand that Mr Tristan Garel Jones was one of" the government ministers who signed a public interest immunity certificate in order to avoid giving evidence at a recent trial in the United Kingdom.
Kan De meddele ham, at vi ikke er indstillet på den slags opførsel her i Parlamentet, og at vi faktisk forventer svar på vore spørgsmål.
Can you inform him that we do not expect that sort of behaviour in this Chamber and we do indeed expect answers to questions.
GAREL JONES. — (EN) For så vidt angår den anden del af det ærede medlems spørgsmål, tror jeg, at jeg har behov for at få det stillet skriftlig.
GAREL JONES. — So far as the second part of the honourable Member's question is concerned, 1 think I would need written notice of' that.
Jeg er ikke klar over, hvor mange lande uden for Fællesskabet der foretager en sådan import.
I am not aware how many countries outside the Community make such imports.
Med hensyn til den anden del af hendes spørgsmål, så er det grundlæggende princip, som Fælles-
Regarding the other part of" her question, the basic premise on which the Community is founded is a belief in free trade and we have to be careful, whilst ensuring that we have proper provisions to prevent dumping inside the Community, not to undermine that motor that has driven the Community forward, which is the free trade principle, now to be re-inf'orced on 1 January by the Single Market.
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Det vil jeg gerne svare på, hr. formand.
I think we have to be careful not to allow the difficult circumstances that the
GAREL JONES har Fællesskabets ambassadører i San Salvador understreget nødvendigheden af en fuldstændig og prompte gennemførelse afalle bestemmelserne i fredsaftalerne inklusive programmet for landoverførsler.
GAREL JONES world and the European economies are going through at the moment to push us into protectionist attitudes which would in the end be damaging to the prosperity not just of Europe but of the wider world too.
Jeg tror, vi må passe på ikke at tillade de vanskelige forhold, som verdensøkonomien og Europas økonomi befinder sig i i øjeblikket, at skubbe os over i protektionistiske holdninger, der i sidste instans kun vil være skadelige ikke bare for Europas velstand, men for hele verdens.
Would he not agree that if the land transfer agreement is not implemented in full and in good faith, it would be unrealistic to expect the FMLN to give up their arms in return for a simple promise from an untrustworthy government?
FORMANDEN. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 34 blive besvaret skriftligt. (')

Spørgsmål nr. 35 af Oddy (H-l 137/92): Om: Fredsprocessen i El Salvador
Question No 35 by Ms Oddy (H-l 137/92) Subject: Peace process in El Salvador
Hvilke skridt tager udenrigsministrene i Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde for at sørge for, at den endelige rapport fra ad hoc-Udvalget om Krænkelser af Menneskerettighederne vil blive ordentlig offentliggjort og stillet til rådighed for en offentlig debat?
What steps are the Foreign Ministers meeting in Political Cooperation taking to ensure that the Final Report of the Ad Hoc Commission on Human Rights Violations will be properly published and available for public discussion?
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Det ærede medlem har rejst to vigtige spørgsmål.
GAREL JONES. — The honourable Member has raised two important points.
For det første, hvad angår omfordelingen af jord, så har De Forenede Nationer, som det ærede medlem ved, i sidste måned hjulpet parterne med at nå frem til et retfærdigt kompromis.
First of all, so far as land redistribution is concerned, the United Nations, as the honourable Member knows, helped the two sides to reach what seemed to be an equitable compromise last month.
Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater har ydet et bidrag til jordbankerne.
The European Community and its Member States have made a contribution to the land banks.
Demobilisering er naturligvis et meget vanskeligt spørgsmål, men præsident Cristiani er gået ind på at gennemføre demobiliseringsplaneme fuldt ud, og De Forenede Nationers mægling i denne sag har vist sig meget værdifuld.
Demobilization is of course a very difficult issue but President Cristiani has agreed to implement the demobilization plans fully and United Nations mediation in this matter is proving very valuable.
Fællesskabet har bidraget til fonden for jordbanken.
The European Community has contributed to the fund for the land bank.
Spørgsmål nr. 37 af Langer (H-
PRESIDENT. — Question No 37 by Mr Langer (H1053/92/rev.)
Om: Undertegnelse af det europæiske charter om regional- og mindretalssprog
Subject: Signing of the European Charter for region al or minority languages in the Council of Europe
GAREL JONES, formand for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde. — (EN) Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater følger naturligvis udviklingen i fredsprocessen i El Salvador nøje.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of European Politi cal Cooperation. — The Community and its Member States are of course following developments in the peace process in El Salvador closely.
EF-ambassadørerne i San Salvador har presset de salvadorianske myndigheder og FMLN angående fuldstændig og rettidig gennemførelse af alle bestemmelserne i fredsaftalerne, inklusive dem, der har at gøre med ad hoc-udvalget.
EC ambassadors in San Salvador have pressed the Salvadorian authorities and the FMLN for full and timely implementation of all the provisions of the peace agreements, including those related to the ad hoc commission.
ODDY (S). — (EN) Er rådsformanden opmærksom på, at der nu findes en tidsplan for fredsprocessen i El Salvador?
The draft Convention on a European Charter for regional or minority languages drawn up by the Council of Europe (and adopted by the Committee of Ministers at its 478th meeting on 22 June 1992) is available for signature.
Vil udenrigsministrene se på overholdelsen af tids planen for denne fredsproces uge for uge for at sikre, at der ikke sker nogen ophobning af punkter, som regeringen ikke har rettet sig efter, og vil de lægge pres på regeringen Cristiani for at forhindre en mulig krise i december?
It represents an important advance in the protection of minorities and in the preservation of cultural diversity.
For øjeblikket ligger det udkast til europæisk charter om regional- og mindretalssprog, som Europarådet har udarbejdet (fastlagt af Ministerudvalget på dets 478. møde den 22. juni 1992), fremme til undertegnelse.
ODDY (S). — Is the President-in-Office aware that there is now a new timetable for the peace process in El Salvador?
Dermed opnås et vigtigt fremskridt til beskyttelse af mindretallene og til sikring af den kulturelle mangfoldighed.
Will the foreign ministers review the imple mentation of this peace process timetable on a weekly basis to ensure that there is no accumulation of govern ment non-compliance, and bring pressure to bear on the Cristiani Government to avert a possible crisis in December? ber?
Agter udenrigsministrene, forsamlet i Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde, at arbejde for, at alle EF-medlemsstaterne uden forsinkelse, på samme tid og som de første undertegner denne konvention og dermed skaber den bedste forudsætning for, at den møder bred tilslutning og snart vil blive ratificeret og træde i kraft?
Do the Ministers meeting in EPC intend to use their influence to ensure that the Member States of the Community are the first to sign the convention and that they do so without delay and simultaneously, thus laying the best foundations for its general approval and ratification and its early entry into force?
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Ja, jeg kan forsikre det ærede medlem om, at vi nøje vil overvåge dette, og vi håber stadig meget at se en gennemførelse af aftalerne inden den 15. december.
GAREL JONES. — Yes, I can assure the honourable Member that we will keep a close watch on that and we still very much hope to see completion of the agreements by 15 December.
Der er positive tegn, og vi vil bestemt overvåge situationen meget nøje.
The signs are positive and we will certainly be monitoring the situation very closely indeed.
GAREL JONES, formand for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde. — (EN) Det spørgsmål, som det ærede medlem rejser, er ikke blevet drøftet inden for rammerne af Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of European Politi cal Cooperation. — The question raised by the honourable Member has not been discussed in the framework of European Political Cooperation.
Hvilke skridt tager udenrigsministrene i Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde for at sikre, at det program for landoverførsler, der var omfattet af aftalen om fredsprocessen, bliver gennemført på behørig vis?
What steps are the Foreign Ministers meeting in Political Cooperation taking to ensure that the pro gramme of land transfers agreed under the peace process accords is being properly carried out?
LANGER (V). — (IT) Hr. minister, jeg er meget utilfreds med, at dette spørgsmål ikke er blevet diskuteret.
LANGER (V). — (IT) I am very sorry to hear that this question has not been discussed, Mr Minister.
Det var faktisk en glimrende lejlighed for De Tolv til at give hele resten af Europa og især medlemmerne af Europarådet et godt eksempel.
This is actually a splendid occasion for the Twelve to set a good example to the rest of Europe, and in particular to the Members of the Council of Europe.
Charteret om regionalsprog er længe blevet behandlet i Europarådet; der er også blevet udarbejdet en konvention, som jeg finder er meget god og i høj grad respekterer — vil jeg sige — snarere staternes end mindretallenes rettigheder.
The Charter of Regional Languages was drafted at great length in the Council of Europe; and a convention was also drawn up which I regard as excellent and highly respectful of States' rights, I would say more so of theirs than of those of the minorities.
Nu har netop nogle stater, herunder Frankrig, Det Forenede Kongerige, Grækenland, Tyrkiet — som ikke er medlem af Fællesskabet, men af Europarådet — endnu ikke villet undertegne charteret.
But the fact is, some States, including France, the United Kingdom, Greece and Turkey — which is not part of the Community but is a member of the Council of Europe — have so far declined to sign the Charter.
GAREL JONES, formand for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde. — (EN) Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater er helt opmærksomme på betydningen af landoverførsler for denne nationale forsonings- og genopbygningsproces i El Salvador, og i den fornyede integration af de demobiliserede soldater fra El Salvadors hær og FMLN i det civile liv.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of European Politi cal Cooperation. — The Community and its Member States are fully aware of the importance of land transfers in the national reconciliation and reconstruction process in El Salvador and in the re-integration of the demobilized personnel of the Salvadorian army and the FMLN into civilian life.
I deres formelle og uformelle kontakter med de salvadoranske myndigheder og FMLN
In their contacts, formal and informal, with the Salvadorian authorities and the FMLN, EC ambassadors in San Salvador have stressed the need for the full and prompt implementation of all the provisions of the peace agreements, including the land transfer programme.
Jeg er ked af. at Det Politiske Samarbejde ikke har beskæftiget sig dermed, og jeg vil gerne have at vide af Dem, hvad der kan gøres for, at det sker i fremtiden.
I am sorry that Political Cooperation has not taken this up and I would like to know what you think can be done because this will come up again in the future.

Det, og den måde, man underviser i tyrkisk på i Grækenland, henhører under den græske regering.

PRESIDENT. — Question No 38 by Mr Alavanos (H-l 066/92) languages.
Men i sidste instans henhører det under medlemsstaterne at beslutte, hvornår de agter at gøre det.
But it will be, in the end, a matter for Member States to decide when they propose to do so.
Jeg har korresponderet med det ærede medlem om min egen medlemsstats holdning, så jeg tror ikke Jeg behøver at føje noget til, hvad jeg allerede har sagt.
I have corresponded with the honourable Member about the position of my own Member State so I do not think I need add anything to what I have already said.
Spørgsmål nr. 38 af Alavanos (H-
Subject: Developments in the WEU and repercussions for security in Greece
Om: Følgerne for sikkerheden i Grækenland af udviklingen i Den Vesteuropæiske Union (WEU)
The decision to suspend Article 5 of the WEU Treaty and the probable decision to suspend Article 10 (according to statements by the WEU Secretary-General (Mr van Eekelen)) will mean that Greece will be unable to invoke this Treaty to defend itself from threats from Turkey and will no longer be able to appeal to the International Court of the Hague to broker a peaceful solution to differences between Greece and Turkey.
VAN HEMELDONCK (S). — (NL) Jeg er lidt overrasket over, at formandskabet åbenbart ikke har beskæftiget sig med dette aktuelle spørgsmål.
VAN HEMELDONCK (S). — (NL) Mr President, I must say I am a bit surprised that the Presidency is not following up such a topical matter.
Og der er jo ikke blot tale om en aktuel sag i selve Fællesskabet, men om et meget vigtigt isntrument over for de lande, der har ansøgt om medlemskab af Fællesskabet, og også over for de østeuropæiske lande.
For this is topical not only within our Community, but also for the first of the countries which have applied to join the EC and also for the countries of Eastern Europe.
Der er tale om en enorm interesse.
There is enormous interest in this.
For et par uger siden havde jeg som formand for den tværfaglige gruppe for minoritetssprog og -kulturer lejlighed til at deltage i en konference i Rumænien om minoritetssprog og -kulturer, og der stod også dette emne på dagsordenen. Der blev sagt, at man burde lade sig inspirere af, hvad der skete i hjertet af Europa, så man kunne nå frem til en mere broderlig sameksistens og til en civiliseret omgang mewd minoriteter og løsningen af politiske spørgsmål.
As chairman of the Intergroup on Minor ity Languages and Cultures, I had the pleasure of attend ing a conference a few weeks ago in Romania on minority languages and cultures, at which this subject was a central issue and where it was said: let us follow the example of what is happening in the heart of Europe in order to achieve greater brotherly cooperation, proper ways of dealing with minorities, and the solution of policy issues.
Kan formanden forsikre os om, at ministrene i fremtiden vil beskæftige sig med dette problem og dets implikationer?
Can the President-in-Office assure us that the Ministers will in future examine this matter and indeed consider its expansion?
Hvorledes vurderer EPS denne udvikling inden for WEU i forbindelse med sikkerheden i en del af EF, som vil kunne få videre konsekvenser for hele EF i betragtning af, at afgørelsen om Grækenlands optagelse i WEU er en del af Maastricht-pakken?
How do the Foreign Ministers meeting EPC view these developments in the WEU which affect the security of part of the Community and may have more widespread implications for the Community as a whole, given that the decision to admit Greece to the WEU forms part of the Maastricht package?
GAREL JONES, formand for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde. — (EN) Det spørgsmål, det ærede medlem har rejst, henhører ikke under Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde.
GAREL JONES, President-in-Office of European Politi cal Cooperation. — The question raised by the honourable Member does not fall within the competence of European Political Cooperation.
GAREL JONES. — (EN) Jeg deler fuldt ud det ærede medlems opfattelse af mindretalssprogenes betydning, eftersom jeg selv taler et europæisk mindretalssprog.
GAREL JONES. — I certainly share the honourable Member's view of the importance of minority languages, being a speaker of one of the European minority languages myself.
Det ærede medlem vil, er jeg sikker på, være enig med mig i, at dette ikke rigtig er et emne, der hører hjemme under Rådet for Almindelige Anliggender.
The Member will agree with me, I am sure, that this is not an entirely appropriate subject for the General Affairs Council.
Den sidste gang, dette Råd mødtes, begyndte det kl. halv ni om formiddagen og blev færdig ved midnat.
The last time the General Affairs Council met, it started its work at 8.30 a.m. and finished at midnight.
Selv da var det helt vanskeligt at få plads til alt på dagsordenen. I sidste instans er det op til medlemsstaterne at træffe afgørelse om mindretalssprog inden for deres egne territorier, og hvordan og hvornår de agter at undertegne eller realisere eksisterende internationale konventioner.
Even then it was quite difficult to squeeze everything into the agenda.
