Denne analyse fra Kommissionen sidder vi nu og venter på. Med henblik herpå er det nødvendigt, at vi virkelig når frem til en snarlig afslutning af regeringskonferencen.
In these circumstances, does he accept that any impression that the European Union is weakening its approach - and that impression to some extent has been given by withdrawing the complaint in the WTO -will in fact damage our trade?
Hvis det lykkes under Det Europæiske Råd i Amsterdam i juni i år, så forventer jeg, at Kommissionen meget hurtigt vil fremlægge denne analyse af de fremtidige finansielle rammer, og deraf følger derfor mulighederne for, hvad der videre skal ske med Samhørighedsfonden.
Will he therefore reaffirm our determination, not only to ask for the World Trade Organization panel to be reconstituted if required, but to take whatever other steps are necessary to prevent the extraterritorial provisions of the Helms/Burton Act being exercised in any way against our traders.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 2 af Felipe Camisón Asensio (H-0298/97):
Patijn, President-in-Office of the Council. - (NL) I should like to give a combined answer to the questions by Mr Newens, Mr Bontempi, Mr Morris and Mr Medina Ortega, because they all concern the Helms-Burton Act and Cuba.
Hvordan stiller Rådet sig til, at en national regering i en medlemsstat beslutter at forbyde varetransport med lastbil gennem sit område om søndagen?
The agreement relates to a specific code of conduct for both sides.
Patijn, formand for Rådet. - (NL) Det ærede medlem hr. Camisón Asensios spørgsmål vedrører forbuddet mod varetransport med lastbil om søndagen i visse transitområder.
The Commission is also requested by the Council to keep it informed of any developments.
Inden for disse rammer er det vigtigt at fastslå, at beføjelserne til at pålægge varetransporten med lastbil eventuelle begrænsninger om søndagen inden for en med lemsstat i princippet findes hos den pågældende medlems stat, såfremt denne overholder fællesskabsrettens generelle
The Council points out that the European Union, like the United States, sets itself the goal of promoting democratic principles, human rights and fundamental freedoms where these are under threat and, like the
Patijn. - (NL) Det ærede medlem hr. Camisón Asensio henleder efter min mening med rette opmærksomheden på den slags fænomener, men jeg gentager - og det er dybt rodfæstet i hele Fællesskabets politiske og juridiske systematik - at medlemsstater har, og jeg tilføjer også på Rådets vegne, skal have frihed til på visse områder, altså også hvad angår lastbiltrafik, at kunne træffe foranstaltninger, som de anser for at være til gavn for den offentlige orden og deres indbyggeres sikkerhed.
Patijn. - (NL) I can assure Mr Newens that the Council will do everything possible to counter thirdcountry legis lation with extratenitorial effect which is damaging to the interests of firms and individuals in the European Union.
Jeg har allerede gjort opmærksom på, at fællesskabsretten selvfølgelig stiller strenge betingelser herfor. Således må der f.eks. være en klar proportionalitet mellem på den ene side virkningen af foranstaltningerne med hensyn til den of fentlige orden og på den anden side den eventuelle negative virkning deraf for den frie bevægelighed eller for hele økonomien.
In this particular case, we were facing a special political dilemma, namely that the United States would have been obliged, for internal political reasons, to invoke the national security exception because of the WTO panel procedure which was under way, so that the WTO would have automatically had to stop the procedure.
Det er netop den balance, som vi må søge for at finde et godt grundlag' på dette område.
This would in fact have meant that, as regards the conflict over the
Hvis det nu er sådan, at Rådet ikke kan tvinge Kommissionen til at offentliggøre rapporten, vil jeg gerne omformulere anden del af mit spørgsmål som følger: Vil De opfordre Kommissionen til i åbenhedens og gennemskuelighedens navn at give den svenske regering adgang til den?
Patijn. - (NL) I would agree in principle with the honourable Member - and I think this reflects the views of the Council as a whole - when he says that if we wish to promote democracy and human development in Cuba, then isolating and boycotting it as the American administration has done since 1959 is no longer an appropriate means of doing so, especially now that Cuba is no longer a threat to the national security of the United States.
Det er det mindste, man kan forlange i dette tilfælde.
Only the American Government and the US Congress take a different view, and in this respect we have agreed to disagree.
Skulle dette ske, er fabrikkens eksistens og dermed ca. tusinde arbejdspladser i regionen i fare.
It cannot be that one member country is able to dictate such matters unilaterally to institutions which are respected on a multilateral basis.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at det er urimeligt, at en konsulentrapport, som kan være afgørende for afgørelsen, i sagen holdes hemmeligt for offentligheden og navnlig for den svenske regering?
However, the US administration is undertaking to try to limit the adverse effects of the Helms-Burton and D'Amato Acts in terms of their impact on the interests of European Union nationals, and to eliminate them through changes in the law or waivers.
Mener Kommissionen, at Volvofabrikken, som frem stiller førerkabiner til senere montering på færdige lastbiler, producerer en færdigvare eller en delprodukt til lastbiler?
We are now waiting to see the results of this undertaking by the US administration, and if the Commission and the Council in any way have the impression that the American administration will not be able to fulfil the agreements, then we shall not hesitate to restart the WTO panel.
Patijn. - (NL) Det drejer sig jo her også om et temmelig principielt spørgsmål, nemlig spørgsmålet om, hvordan en institution i Det Europæiske Fællesskab skal håndtere information.
Medina Ortega (PSE). - (ES) Mr President-in-Office of the Council, the United States is a country I admire, a country I love, and a country I have had extensive relations with.
Jeg tror, at hvis vi gør dette til almindelig praksis, så kommer vi i en situation, hvor Kommissionen ved udøvelsen af sin opgave som vogter af konkurrencereglerne vil komme i en yderst vanskelig situation, når det drejer sig om at få korrekte oplysninger fra virksomheder.
It is one of the oldest democracies but one characteristic of its democracy, based on the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary, is the tremendous rigour with which the law and sanctions are applied.
Jeg tror faktisk, at det dermed vil blive problematisk at styre og gennemføre konkurrenceretten. ceretten.
At this very moment a Community citizen, Mr Feneiro, is in prison in the United States for running a business supplying food and other basic necessities to Cuba.
Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL). - (SV) Jeg vil gerne ligesom hr. Wibe takke rådsformanden for svaret. Jeg kan oplyse,' at Kommissionen i går bekræftede rapportens eksistens.
Bontempi (PSE). - (IT) Mr President-in-Office, there is something I should like to ask you: don't you feel that the application of this agreement is very tricky, in view of the difficulties and even ambiguities that it contains?
Den anførte i forbindelse hermed, at grunden til den manglende offentliggørelse er, at rapporten kan indeholde forretningshemmeligheder. Den berørte virksomhed, Volvo, har imidlertid i dag tilkendegivet over for de svenske massemedier, at den gerne ser, at den svenske regering får adgang til rapporten.
And most of all, doesn't it seem to you, as it does to me, that there is a risk that this agreement might, in part, produce precisely the same effects as·the law did?
Dermed er den hindring for at give en sådan adgang, som Kommissionen har omtalt, ikke længere til stede.
I should like to ask what you think about this, and what information you have on it.
PaU^ii, formand for Rådet. - (NL) Som svar på hr. Wibes spørgsmål om en efter forlydende hemmelig rapport om Volvofabrikken i Umeå understreger jeg, at Rådet ikke er orienteret om og heller aldrig har drøftet det problem, som det ærede parlamentsmedlems spørgsmål vedrører. Rådet ønsker ikke desto mindre at henlede hr. Wibes opmærksomhed på den kendsgerning, at konkurrencereglerne generelt og ganske særligt offentlig støtte henhører under de specifikke områder, hvor Traktaten har givet Kommissionen beføjelser.
Patijn. - (NL) The aim of this agreement with the Commission, which has now been endorsed by the Council, although subject to the strict conditions which I have just described to you, is to lead the American administration to enter into discussions with its independent legislature, namely the Congress, with a view to interpreting and, where necessary, amending the law in such a way as to remove precisely those extraterritorial effects which are damaging to European economic interests, not least established economic interests.
Lad mig dog i den forbindelse bemærke, at Rådet i overensstemmelse med EF-traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2 på anmodning af en medlemsstat under usædvanlige omstændigheder kan beslutte, at en medlemsstats støtte foranstaltning må betragtes som forenelig med fællesmarkedet.
If it should appear that either in law or in practice, the American administration is being obliged to continue to take extraterritorial action against European interests with regard to economic contacts with Cuba, then the Commission and the Council will not hesitate to draw the conclusions I have just mentioned, in other words to restart the WTO panel.
I den nuværende situation - lad det være tydeligt -kan Rådet absolut endnu ikke indtage nogen holdning til denne sag og da slet ikke forpligte Kommissionen til at offentliggøre den pågældende rapport, selv om det kun er over for den svenske regering.
Morris (PSE). - It appears to me that the US is, in fact, lashing out against everyone and everybody.
Følgelig forekommer det mig tilrådeligt, at det ærede medlem henvender sig til Kommissionen for om muligt at få nærmere oplysninger.
Apart from the fact that this is adversely virtually affecting Cuba itself, it is also having an adverse effect on American business because they are losing out by billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Wibe (PSE). - (SV) Jeg takker rådsformanden for svaret.
Patijn. - (NL) I can only reaffirm to Mr Medina Ortega that the Council and the Member States, together with the Commission, quite simply reject such laws as the Helms-Burton Act on grounds of principle.
I går stillede jeg samme spørgsmål til Kommissionen, som fastholdt sin vægren ved at offentliggøre rapporten.
That is also why, when this Act was signed in 1996, the Council adopted relatively quickly, on a proposal from the Commission, a variety of counter-measures or retaliatory legislation, so as to be able to respond if European interests were unduly affected when the Act was implemented.
Det synes jeg er mærkeligt i betragtning af, at den vedrører så mange menneskers arbejdspladser. Det er også mærkeligt, at den hemmeligholdes endog for den svenske regering.
What I really regret is in fact that both the United States and the European Union, whose views are clearly shared on the desirability of new political and economic developments in Cuba, have still not begun to reach agreement after so many years on the question of how this is to happen, and disagree fundamentally on the matter.
Patijn. - (NL) Hos denne rådsformand vil De ikke møde nogen som helst tilbageholdenhed, for så vidt angår bestræbelserne efter åbenhed.
We regret that the United States is continuing to isolate the developments in Cuba, instead of encouraging them.
Men jeg gentager, det drejer sig her om anvendelse af konkurrenceregler inden for Den Europæiske Union, hvor Kommissionen har visse beføjelser, der er underkastet regler, til fortroligt at anmode
As a good Liberal, I believe that democracy is very much facilitated by overseas invest ment, and the blocking of such investment will not encourage the development of Cuba or its political development in this respect.
Jeg vil gerne understrege, at mit spørgsmål ikke drejer sig om, hvorvidt denne virksomhed er berettiget til støtte eller ej·
Does the Council intend to take action to make certain that Cuba has access to these agencies so that it can build up its own economy to the advantage of its own people? '
Middelhavsregionen har behov for støtte gennem an vendelsen af disse vigtige politikker for erhvervsuddannelse, men hvomår og hvordan agter man at fastlægge forvaltningen af programmer for erhvervsuddannelse som led i MEDA?
Subject: Synthetic drugs has at its disposal the Reitox system, for example, which is used to exchange information between the Member States on synthetic drugs, amongst other things.
Patijn, formand for Rådet. - (NL) Som svar på disse spørgsmål fra fru Izquierdo Rojo om erhvervsuddannelsen i forbindelse med Euro-Middelhavspolitikken vil jeg gøre opmærksom på, at Rådet var en af de parter, som i november 1995 vedtog Barcelona-erklæringen og arbejdsprogrammet, og at det derfor fuldt ud støtter målsætningen inden for rammerne af Euro-Middelhavspartnerskabet med hensyn til at have en regelmæssig dialog om undervisningspolitik inklusive erhvervsuddannelse.
Following the European Council in Dublin, where it was decided to adopt a joint action for the approximation of legislation and the procedures followed by the police, customs authorities and courts in combating drug addiction and illegal trafficking in drugs and, given the popularity among young people of synthetic drugs produced in the EU Member States, Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkan countries, constituting a serious threat to public health and society, can the Council say what progress has been made to date concerning the harmonization of Member States' legislation in combating illegal drugs trafficking?
Dette blev endnu en gang gentaget i konklusionerne af den anden Euro-Middelhavskonference på Malta, som fandt sted den 15. og 16. april.
Have the dangers arising from the development of synthetic drugs been evaluated and do European mechanisms exist to deal with the unexpected appearance of such drugs on the market?
Stenmarck (PPE). - (SV) Sverige er et af de EU-lande, der har de længste transportafstande.
Papayannakis (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President-in-Office, thank you for the details in your answer, but I did not come here to indulge in polemics between us.
Vi plejer at sige, at vi har et eksporthandicap på mellem 700 og 1.000 km. Derfor skal det også understreges, at Sverige i mange år har haft en transportstøtteordning, der har skullet gøre den indenlandske konkurrence mere lige.
I want to help, and I think there is a problem: these new synthetic drugs have some new characteristics.
EU godkendte faktisk denne transportstøtte i forbindelse med Sveriges optagelse, men nu har Kommissionen taget den op på ny.
In that sense, Mr President-in-Office, I am told that this warning system you mentioned takes a very long time.
Og nu ønsker EU ordningen ændret under henvisning til en hemmeligstemplet rapport.
It takes two years for a substance to be entered on the list of proscribed substances.
Rådet er også i forbindelse med vedtagelsen af retningslinjerne for de vejledende MEDA-programmer den 6. december 1996 gået med til, at bistanden til Unionens Middelhavspartnerlande navnlig skal koncentreres om ud viklingen af de menneskelige ressourcer gennem forbedring af forvaltningen, målrettetheden og kvaliteten af erhvervs- og managementuddannelser.
The policy which is being developed within the European Union to combat drugs is a wideranging one, including preventive measures on the one hand - and here we are talking in particular about devoting our attention to public health, information and education - and repressive aspects on the other, such as cooperation between the courts, police and customs services to combat drugs and drug trafficking.
Derfor henstiller jeg til Rådets repræsentant, at han tager de nødvendige skridt til at offentliggøre rapporten og til at medvirke til at berolige de i forvejen overordentlig hårdt ramte mennesker i denne region, som allerede i dag har en meget, meget høj arbejdsløshed.
Patijn. - (NL) I think that Mr Papayannakis is quite right to point to the special problems caused by synthetic drugs for our whole policy on criminal law and for all police action, because these are developments which move as quickly as those in the chemical industry in general.
En række af disse aktiviteter er allerede kommet i gang.
That is why so much emphasis is being placed on improving the systems for collecting and exchanging information.
På multilateralt plan blev der under en trepartskonference den 24.-25. maj 1996 i Catania foretaget en udveksling af synspunkter om en hel skala af emner, der hænger sammen med hinanden på det sociale område, herunder erhvervsuddannelsen.
This also applies especially to the socalled precursors, the raw materials which are used to make synthetic and illegal drugs, because the monitoring of flows of raw materials and the exchange of information between criminal investigation services can provide an important indication as to how crime in this area is developing.
Desuden brages der finansiel bi stand fra MEDA-midlerne til støtte af foranstaltningerne på både subregionalt og bilateralt plan til forbedring af kvaliteten af erhvervsuddannelsen.
In this respect, the collection and exchange of information is the first and absolutely crucial step in being able to take vigorous action.
Hvis det ærede medlem vil råde over mere detaljeret information om specifikke aktiviteter, beder jeg hende om med henblik herpå at overveje at henvende sig til Kom missionen, som er ansvarlig for gennemførelsen af dette program.
The question by Mr Papayannakis relates in particular to this second aspect, namely international cooperation in terms of criminal law to combat the drugs trade and drug crime.
Patijn. - (NL) Jeg kan egentlig kun gentage, hvad jeg sagde i mine to foregående indlæg. Rådet, i hvert fald denne rådsformand, er en principiel tilhænger af maksimal åbenhed.
The question refers more specifically to the extent of the progress made during the Dutch presidency on implementing the joint action for the approximation of the legislation and procedures of the Member States of the European Union in combating drug addiction and to prevent and combat illegal trafficking in drugs.
Jeg ved ikke, om disse regler specifikt anvendes her, men jeg gentager, at jeg forstår, at De talte med Kommissionen herom i går.
The action was confirmed by the European Council in Dublin in December 1996.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). - (ES) Hr. rådsformand, Rådet har svaret på dette spørgsmål, som en bureaukrat ville have gjort, med »bla bla bla«, hvilket ikke siger noget som helst.
The Member States and institutions of the Union are cunently engaged in implement ing this joint action, part of which covers the harmonization of legislation.
Rådet svarer ikke på mit konkrete spørgsmål, som er hvordan og hvornår det vil vedtage forordningen.
A progress report on its implementation is to be produced for the European Council meeting in Luxembourg.
Rådet har gjort det med de central- og østeuropæiske lande.
To enable as clear a report as possible to be presented in Luxembourg in December 1997, work is now being done on a reporting model, and it is planned to submit an interim report to the European Council in Amsterdam.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 4 af María Izquierdo Rojo (H-0306/97):
President - As the author is not present, Question No 10 falls.
Om: Erhvervsuddannelse og Euro-Middelhavspolitikken litikken
Question No 11 by Mr Sjöstedt (H-0330/97) Subject: The interception of telecommunications
Hr. rådsformand, en ung tjekke, rumæner eller ungarer kan nyde godt af erhvervsuddannelserne eller nyde godt af programmerne. Det kan en ung magreb ikke.
The question by Mr Papayannakis concerning synthetic drugs is also related to the joint action on drugs.
Hvordan skal vi kunne arbejde med disse lande med de enorme forskelle, der er i dag inden for erhvervsuddannelserne?
This is a mechanism for exchanging information quickly and effectively on new substances entering the market for synthetic drugs.
Hvordan kan vi europæere gøre dette, åbne markederne og lukke dørene til uddannelse af mennesker?
The exact details of this mechanism are still under discussion, and a report on this too will be presented to the Amsterdam European Council.
I Barcelona-erklæringen fra den første Euro-Middelhavskonference udtrykte parterne enighed om løbende at føre en dialog som led i udviklingen af de menneskelige ressourcer og til fremme af uddannelsespolitikken, som indledningsvis skulle tage sigte på erhvervsuddannelse med særlig vægt på anvendelse af Det Europæiske Erhvervsuddannelsesinstitut i Torino.
The EU has been working with the American FBI for a year on the development of a joint system for the interception of telecommunications, on which a resolution was adopted at a meeting of the Justice and Home Affairs Council on 17 January 1995.
Rådet har hidtil fastlagt forvaltningen af Det Europæiske Erhvervsuddannelsesinstituts tekniske bistand til
In this context, I would also draw your attention to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, the EMCDDA.
Det er et alvorligt ansvar.
In spite of this, the general public and
Jeg vil geme lade det blive ved dette.
President media have been given very little information about this matter.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). - (ES) Hr. formand, jeg ønsker blot at gøre opmærksom på, at Rådet hidtil har fastlagt forvaltningen af Det Europæiske Erhvervsuddannelsesinstituts tekniske bistand til de central- og østeuropæiske lande, men det er også Rådets opgave i henhold til det, der blev aftalt i Barcelona, at foretage forvaltningen af Instituttets bistand til Middelhavslandene.
Will common rules and agreements in this area re quire harmonization of national legislation, e.g. as regards persons whose telecommunications may be intercepted, the offences of which they must be suspected before such action may be taken and the length of sentences involved.
Formanden. - Da de følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi under ét behandle spørgsmål nr. 5 af Arthur Newens (H-0308/97):
Is there any link between the Union's activities in this field and.EQHELON?
Vil Rådet fremsætte en erklæring om de indvirkninger, som Helms-Burton-loven i øjeblikket skønnes at have på handelen mellem EU og Cuba, og kan det oplyse, hvilke skridt man agter at tage for at afværge eventuelt yderligere skader, hvis denne lov ville blive håndhævet fuldt ud?
I think it is very important for individual Member States - and certainly those which sign the international conventions on the protection of privacy and human rights - to continue to ensure through national legislation and national supervisory procedures that intelligence and security services adhere strictly to certain rules of conduct laid down in national law.
spørgsmål nr. 6 af Rinaldo Bontempi (H-0310/97): Om: Cuba og Helms-Burton-loven
The fact that this may of course also involve international communications does little to affect the principle of national responsibilities.
Vil Rådet fremsætte en erklæring om fremskridt med hensyn til løsning på uenigheden mellem EU og USA om Helms-Burton-loven, som i øjeblikket ligger til behandling i et panel under verdenshandelsorganisationen WTO?
It is a matter for our governments and our parliaments to produce legislation, and it is for our supervisory bodies in the Member States to ensure that intelligence and security services behave according to the law.
spørgsmål nr. 7 af David Morris (H-0315/97): Om: Cuba og Helms-Burton-loven i nogen grad om D'Amato-loven.
Posselt (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I assume that what we are talking about here is not primarily intelligence services, but rather the need to combat large-scale, inter national organized crime.
Aftalen vedrører en bestemt adfærdskodeks på begge sider.
I would therefore ask you to indicate what steps the Council intends to take next in tackling large-scale organized crime.
