Hvilke erfaringer har Kommissionen indhentet fra iagttagelser af ferietrafikken på tværs af grænserne både for så vidt angår personer og køretøjer her mod slutningen af feriesæsonen 1993, og hvilke klager har den modtaget over manglende fri bevægelighed enten direkte eller gennem medlemsstaterne?
What information has the Commission gathered from observing border crossings by people and vehicles for holiday purposes in the 1993 summer holiday season now ending and what complaints concerning lack of freedom movement has it received, either directly or via the Member States?
VANNI D'ARCHIRAFI, medlem af Kommissionen. -(IT) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne sige til hr. Rogalla, som jeg knyttet til af et efterhånden meget tæt samarbejde, at den tid, der er gået siden slutningen af sommerferiesæsonen 1993 - der i visse heldige europæiske lande fortsat er i gang - er for kort til, at Kommissionen med sikkerhed kan give det ærede medlem de oplysninger, som han ønsker.
VANNI D'ARCHIRAFI, Member of the Commission. -(IT) Mr President, I would like to say to Mr Rogalla, with whom I am now working in close collaboration, that the time elapsed since the end of the summer tourist season 1993 - which in some lucky European countries is not yet over - is too brief for the Commission to have the precise information requested by the Member.
VANNI D'ARCHIRAFI, - (IT) Hr. formand, spørgeren ved, at jeg i forbindelse med dette nok så ømtålelige, men også meget vigtige emne altid har sagt, at hovedsagen er at tage det ene skridt efter det andet, når blot det går i den rigtige retning. Jeg mener også, at vi i løbet af de sidste måneder har gjort store fremskridt.
One thing, however, can be stated, that during the summer, immediately afterwards and to date, letters of complaint from persons who, among those who have actually had holidays, may be designated tourists, are no greater in number than those on the same theme, but not of a specifically touristic nature, that we have received in the preceding months, and so I must deduce that during the summer there has not been an increase in matters for complaint.
Det er klart, at spørgsmålet omkring lufthavnene er et af de mest kom plicerede, fordi de på én gang er både indre og ydre grænser. Det er med andre ord dette systems ømme punkt.
I wish to add, however, that in the context of the general problem of the internal market and controls on ex-internal borders, the Commission has initiated a study based on inquiries carried out in loco.
Jeg tror, at når det er lykkes os at nå frem til en aftale, også selv om det kun bliver mellem nogle få stykker af medlemslandene, så har vi vundet et vanskeligt slag i denne krig, som vi alle ønsker at vinde samlet.
This study also covers the 1993 vacation period and when we have the results I will with great pleasure pass them to Mr Rogalla.
Om: Moms i forbindelse med grænseoverskridende rejsetrafik og udvidelse af de forenklende foranstaltninger for de små og mellemstore virksomheder i det indre marked uden grænser
During the process of completing the internal market, the Commission has frequently sought to take these principles into account in different circumstances, notably through the approximation of national legislations, support to the development of the concept of the family, and indeed Community policy.
Jeg vil dog geme tilføje, at Kommissionen i forbindelse med den generelle problem stilling omkring det indre marked og kontrollen ved de tidligere interne grænser har iværksat en undersøgelse, der er baseret på undersøgelser foretaget på stedet.
Having said that, Mr President, I would add that we are all fully conscious that the problem exists, that it is a serious problem and that what is being done is probably inadequate.
Denne undersøgelse dækker også sommerperioden 1993, og når vi modtager resultaterne af denne undersøgelse, vil jeg med gælde oplyse hr. Rogalla herom.
But I believe we are on the right road, in the action for cooperation that we are taking, especially the European Forum for Child Welfare as part of International Year of the Family, to raising awareness, whether of individuals, of institutions, or of Member States.
Er Kommissionen klar over, at udenlandske busselskaber, der kører gennem Tyskland, fra 1. januar 1993 skal udfylde nye formularer og udligne rejsestrækninger inden for Tysklands grænser med den delvis højere moms?
ROGALLA (PSE). - (DE) - I would like to thank Mr Vanni D'Archirafi for that answer and I assume this means that I will receive further information once the summer holidays in other, warmer countries have come to an end.
Dette har ført til aflysning af rejser først og fremmest fra belgiske, nederlandske og engelske rejseselskaber.
Secondly, I would be grateful if the Commission would for its part make it clear to the Member States that the European Parliament is interested in this kind of information so that a very clear connection is made.
For at udforme momsbestemmelseme så enkelt som muligt indførte EF's finansministre i december 1992 en række forenklende foranstaltninger.
And finally, I would ask him to draw the attention of the Member States to the necessary changes that need to be made to the buildings at frontier crossings so that it is finally possible to cross directly from country to country.
Disse vedrørte udelukkende den frie varetransport.
I am thinking of certain examples which he knows very well.
Tjenesteydelser omfattes ikke heraf.
Is the Commission willing to do this?
For det andet ville jeg sætte pris på, om også Kommissionen fra sin side underrettede medlems staterne om, at Europa-Parlamentet er interesseret i sådanne oplysninger, for at der her skabes en helt klar forbindelse. Det ville glæde mig, om han kunne love mig det.
I would go along with a great deal of what he has said but I would like to ask him if he does not think that there is a case for action designed to secure by one means or another comprehensive legislation that makes it illegal to use children for pornographic or violent videos, to possess such videos or to seek to circulate child pornography?
Kan Kommissionen meddele, om den er klar over disse konkurrencefordrejninger, og hvordan den kan afhjælpe fordelingen af netop de små og mellemstore virksomheder?
VANNI D'ARCHIRAFI. - (IT) Mr President, I will willingly pass on the message - die Botschaft in German - to Member States, as it is my belief that in this area too it is universal cooperation which will produce results.
Endelig vil jeg bede ham underrette medlemsstaterne om de nødvendige ændringer, der må foretages af bygningerne ved grænseovergangene, så man nu endelig kan
I am quite sure that our goal', which is to achieve as early as possible the free movemént'of persons, will also stimulate tourism and these long and cherished holidays we would all like to have, every summer and every winter too!

PINHEIRO. - (ES) I am entirely in agreement with Mr Newens because as the Member States of the Community are signatories of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the practices he refers to are objectively illegal and illicit today.
lige vanskeligheder, vil jeg gerne i tilslutning til mit spørgsmål under Parlamentets mødeperiode i marts spør­ge kommissæren, om han selv eller den mest involverede kollega er rede til at tage sig tid til at modtage en delegation fra disse busselskaber, da disse mennesker ikke længere ser nogen udvej.
WIJSENBEEK (LDR). - (NL) I should like to ask the Commissioner whether he has been struck by the fact that the special control posts for EC citizens at the internal/ external frontiers - by which I mean the airports - are not in fact used in a number of countries.
PALEOKRASSAS. ­ (GR) Jeg vil forelægge forslaget for fru Scrivener, som er ansvarlig for dette spørgsmål, og jeg tror, hun vil acceptere det.
Would the Commissioner be prepared and in a position to make those Member States that now repeatedly ride roughshod over the agreement giving EC citizens prefer ential treatment truly observe that agreement now?
FORMANDEN. ­ Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 49­52 blive besvaret skriftligt. (')
The Commission also reminds you that on 30 September 1992 it submitted a proposal on VAT applicable to passenger transport (COM(92) 416).
Desuden er taksterne blevet forhøjet i forhold til det tidligere gældende system, idet prisen pr. passagerkilo­meter er forhøjet fra 0,007 til 0,013 D­mark.
That proposal aims to replace the present VAT situation, which is calculated on the basis of the rule of territoriality, with a system based on calculation of the tax in the country from which the transport sets out.
Komissio­nen bekræfter det svar, den har givet i forbindelse med tre skriftlige forespørgsler fra parlamentsmedlemmer, hvori den oplyser, at den, såfremt de henvendelser, der er rettet til de tyske myndigheder, ikke fører til en tilfredsstillende løsning og en afskaffelse af denne forskelsbehandling med hensyn til afgifter, vil træffe de nødvendige foran­staltninger for at tvinge Tyskland til at overholde EF­retten og de bestemmelser, der gælder for det indre marked.
Approval of the proposal is expected to do away with the situation the honourable Member is complaining about, and more generally, it will contribute to a substantial restriction of the administrative expenses borne by the businesses concerned.
Spørgsmål nr. 53 af Crampton (H­0792/93):
BRAUN MOSER (PPE). - (DE) Mr Commissioner, I am not really satisfied with that information.
Om: Statsstøtte til landbrugssektoren ­ offentliggø­relse af oplysninger
Our value added tax system is an obstacle to internal transport.
Kommissionen gør endvidere opmærksom på, at den den 30. september 1992 fremlagde et forslag angående moms på persontransport (KOM (92) 416).
VANNI D'ARCHIRAFI. - (IT) Mr President, the questioner knows what I have always said on this important but sensitive issue: it is important to proceed one step at a time, in the right direction, and I think that for a few months we have been making progress.
Dette forslag har til hensigt at erstatte den gældende moms, der udregnes på grundlag af territorial­bestemmelsen, med et system, hvor momsen udregnes i det land, hvor den pågældende transport har sit udgangspunkt.
Certainly the subject of airports is one of the most complex because airports constitute both internal and external borders, which is to say they are the punctum dolens of this system.
En godkendelse af dette forslag vil formodentlig sætte en stopper for den konkrete situation, som det ærede medlem klager over, og vil generelt bidrage til at begrænse de administrative huller, som fører til økonomisk belastning af de berørte erhvervsdrivende.
I believe that when we succeed in reaching agreement, even only between a few Member States, we will have won the first important battle in this war we all want to win together.
På baggrund af dette svar spurgte jeg Rådet (H­0658/93 C)), hvorfor oversigten ikke offentliggøres, og om det har planer om at sikre offentliggørelsen af den.
PRESIDENT. - Question No 48 by Mrs Braun-Moser (H-0591/93)
Momsbestemmelserne hæmmer indenrigstrafikken. Al­lerede med definitionen på det udgangspunkt, en rejse begynder fra, forskubber vi indenrigstrafikken til udlan­det.
Subject: Value added tax on crossborder travel and further measures to simplify procedures for SMEs in an internal market without frontiers
Derudover er der uforsvarlige hindringer.
There are further intolerable inconveniences.
I modsætning til, hvad hr. Vanni d'Archirafi netop har sagt, dvs. at han ikke er bekendt med nogen klager, har jeg kendskab til mange busselskaber, der til deres store fortrydelse ­f.eks. ved den franske grænse ­ ikke længere får stemplet passagerlisterne, fordi toldstederne er væk.
Commissioner Vanni d'Archirafi has just said that he has heard no complaints. Well I know many bus companies which are suffering, for example, from the fact that they cannot get their passenger lists stamped at the French border because all the sheds have been vacated.
Til gengæld må de, når de igen rejser fra Belgien eller Frankrig til Tyskland, betale en bøde på 450,­ DM, fordi passagerlis­ten ikke er stemplet!
And when you leave Belgium or France going back to Germany, you pay a fine of DM 450 because your passenger list has not been stamped.
Kan Kommissionen acceptere Rådets udtalelse om, at det er Kommissionens opgave at beslutte, hvorvidt en oversigt over statsstøtte til landbrugssektoren kan og skal offentliggøres?
Let me ask you again: how can we organize our value added tax in such a way that it does not create obstacles for internal transport, such as for passenger transport by bus companies?
Hvordan kan vi dog afskaffe vores grænser, når vi beholder disse bestemmelser?
Is the Commission aware that with effect from 1 January 1993 foreign coach firms travelling through Germany have had to fill in additional forms and pay a higher rate of VAT on the part of the journey within Germany?
Jeg spørger endnu en gang: Hvordan kan vi udforme momsen, så vi ikke hæmmer indenrigstrafikken, f.eks. busselskabernes per­sonbefordring?
As a result, Belgian, Dutch and British travel firms in particular have cancelled travel arrangements.
Vil Kommissionen ud fra ønsket om et mere åbent og gennemskueligt Fællesskab offentliggøre oversigten over statsstøtte til landbrugssektoren?
In December 1992 the Ministers of Finance of the EC adopted a number of measures to make VAT arrangements as simple as possible.
Sidst i en skrivelse fra fru Scrivener til den tyske økonomiminis­ter dateret den 22. juni 1992 for at få Tyskland til at ændre sit system.
The most recent letter was sent by Mrs Scrivener to the German Minister for the Economy on 22 June 1993, to ask that Germany should put the situation right.
Som jeg sagde i mit første svar, vil Kommis­sionen iværksætte proceduren i forbindelse med overtræ­delse af EF­retsakter, hvis Tyskland ikke træffer foran­staltninger til ændring af dette system.
In my answer I said that unless Germany adopts corrective measures, the Com mission will set in motion the procedure laid down in cases of contravention of Community law.

CORNELISSEN (PPE). - (NL) Seeing that a number of foreign coach firms whose vehicles drive through Germany find themselves in serious difficulties by reason of the drastic increase in VAT now to be paid in Germany, I should like, further to the questions I asked during Parliament's March part-session, to ask the Commission er whether he, or the colleague of his most concerned with this matter, would be prepared to set aside some time to receive a delegation from these coach firms, since the latter do not see how they will be able to manage in the future; and I think it would be a good thing if the Commission gave in this way evidence of its concern and once again explained to those concerned what it is doing to find a solution.

PRESIDENT. - As the authors are not present, Questions Nos 49 to 52 will be answered in writing. (')
Parlamentet, og i særdeleshed hr. Crampton, vil efter konsulteringen af medlemsstaterne blive orienteret om, hvordan Rådets svar kan følges op.
Question No 53 by Mr Crampton (H-0792/93)
VAYSSADE (PSE). - (FR) Hr. kommissionsmedlem, det er korrekt, at disse tekster er til behandling, og at drøftelsen reelt ikke er afsluttet i Parlamentet.
Subject: State aids to the agricultural sector - publication of information several of my constituents who are engaged in the farming business are interested in.
El-forsyningen er en central del af den offentlige tjeneste, og jeg så gerne, at Kommissionen oplyser, hvordan den ville kunne acceptere alle tankerne om bevarelsen af den offentlige tjeneste i disse direktiver.
So all I can do is thank the Commissioner, ask him to expedite the Commission's proceedings with the Council and hope that in the near future - perhaps next month - we can find out exactly what has happened and have the inventory either published or declared a confidential document, one or the other.
Faktisk er det svar, vi har fået fra Rådet om det problem, hr. Crampton har gjort opmærksom på, så tvetydigt, at Kommissionen nødvendigvis må bede om et tydeligere svar, før den foretager sig noget.
As a matter of fact the answer we received from the Council on the point made by Mr Crampton is so ambiguous that the Commission is bound to ask for clarification before taking action.
Jeg er enig i, at vi har hårdt brug for at få sagen opklaret nu.
I agree that we badly need that clarification now.
PINHEIRO. - (PT) Jeg forstår godt fru Vayssades bekymring, for så vidt som Corbeaudommen ændrer perspektivet på dette problem.
On the basis of this answer I asked the Council of Ministers (H-0658/93) C) why the inventory was not published and whether the Council had any plans to ensure its publication.
FORMANDEN. - Spørgsmål nr. 54 af Vayssade (H0800/93):
PRESIDENT. - Question No 54 by Mrs Vayssade (H-0800/93)
Kommissionen afventer drøftelserne i Parlamentet og Rådet for på grundlag af disse input at udlede en retningslinje, på grundlag af hvilken Kommissionen vil fremsætte et forslag, måske ikke ligefrem af general karakter, men som i det mindste fastsætter kriterier for Kommissionens indsats på dette område.
The Council replied by emphasizing its commitment to a Community which is both more open and closer to its citizens but pointed out that 'in the interinstitutional breakdown of powers as laid down in the Treaty establishing the EEC, it is for the Commission to keep under permanent review the aid schemes applying in the Member States' and that 'it is therefore up to the Commission to consider whether an inventory of state aid in the agricultural sector can and should be published'.
FORMANDEN. - Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 55-58 blive besvaret skriftligt. (')
Do any powers laid down by the Treaty establishing the EEC permit the Commission to designate as confidential any information it receives from Member States on state aid to the agricultural sector?

Kan Kommissionen oplyse følgende: Hvilke programmer vedrørende samarbejde med Brasilien om afhjælpning af de sociale problemer i de store byområder i Latinamerika er allerede blevet godkendt eller ligger til godkendelse?
PINHEIRO, Member of the Commission. - (PT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission's pro posals for a Council directive on common rules for the internal market in electricity and natural gas are currently under discussion within this Parliament, and more par ticularly in its Committee for Energy, Research and Technology.
Med Corbeaudommen om det belgiske postmonopol har domstolen for første gang haft lejlighed til at give en konkret og positiv fortolkning af bestemmelserne i EØF-Traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2.
PINHEIRO, Member of the Commission. - (PT) Ladies and gentlemen, the inventories of state aid to agriculture are sent to the Commission by the Member States to facilitate constant review of aid systems existing in the States as provided for in Paragraph 1 of Article 93 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community.
En tilsvarende problemstilling gør sig gældende ved elforsyningen, hvor tredje mands adgang til nettene ville gøre det muligt for kunder, som tilbyder særlige fordele, at forlade det offentlige forsyningsnet til skade for den udligning af taksterne, der er nødvendige for at sikre en økono misk velfungerende samlet tjeneste og for den fysiske planlægning.
However, the Commission undertakes to consult the Member States on this question shortly, following up the reply given by the Council to Mr Crampton's question H-0658/93 on publication of this inventory. And after this consultation I shall of course inform Parliament, and in particular Mr Crampton, of the tenor of the Council's reply.
På baggrund af denne dom burde Kommissionen ændre sit udkast til direktiv om el- og gasforsyning.

Således har vi fået oplyst, at antallet af børn under 17 år, der arbejder uden løn - og det er vel at mærke ikke spørgsmålet om børnearbejde der optager os, men derimod børneslaveri, for der er ikke noget andet ord for det - beløber sig til 2 mio. 2 mio børn, der arbejder uden at modtage løn for det.
Other projects in the areas of training, raising public awareness and creation of an information network have also been the submitted for pre-selection.
Mange andre millioner børn fra 10 år og nedefter arbejder, men mange af dem får dog en form for løn for det.
In addition an expert from the Commission visited Brazil in July to identify new projects and partners locally, a process which constitutes one of the most difficult aspects of the implementation of this programme.
tolv omfattede projekter vil gradvis blive operative.
What is the issue that needs to be discussed in each case?
Programmet, der nødvendigvis er af begrænset karakter, er et forsøgsprojekt, der dog er planlagt til at skulle forlænges. Kommissionen har valgt at prioritere området bypolitik i Latinamerikas storbyer, i særdeleshed i Brasilien.
Whether the end of monopoly, that is, access to the network or provision of specialized services by third parties, puts in question public service as defined earlier.
Selv om det først og fremmest er op til de involverede lande at beslutte, hvilken strategi der skal følges, det vil i det aktuelle sige Brasilien, skal fællesskabsaktionen, der skal anvendes til at dække særlige områder - der, hvor der er størst behov - ses som led i denne overordnede målsætning.
So we need to know what the public service in question involves, what the objectives of the proposed public service are, and in view of this, whether opening up the monopoly places these services at risk or not.
Problemet vedrørende narkotikamisbrug og udbredelse af AIDS blandt børn i Brasiliens store byer er af alarmerende omfang.
Finally I would add that the cooperation programme, the third generation project between the Community and Brazil signed at the end of June 1992, opens the door to cooperation in the social field and in the community housing and development field.
