Sluttelig må det understreges, at i henhold til artikel 10, stykke 4 i afgørelsen skal Kommissionen senest den 31. december 1997 forelægge Europa-Parlamentet, Rådet, Det Økonomiske Og Sociale Udvalg og det rådgivende udvalg om erhvervsuddannelse en foreløbig rapport om iværksættelsen.
Patijn, President-in-Office of the Council. - (NL) In reply to Mrs Hautala's Question on the Groupeuro, I would point out that the Council is unaware of the Commission's rules for the activities of a network of-independent EMU experts that was set up in the context of the information Programme for European Citizens, the socalled PRINCE programme.
Så snart denne rapport foreligger, kan der foretages en vurdering af den måde, hvorpå de ovennævnte bestemmelserne er blevet iværksat.
The Commission is entitled on its own responsibility to take a decision on this information campaign and the conditions attached thereto.
Patijn, formand for Rådet. - (NL) Det ærede medlems spørgsmål vedrører den fremtidige jernbanelinje mellem Madrid og Lissabon.
Hautala (V). - (FI) Mr President, I would point out to the President-in-Office of the CouncU that in fact I also put this question to the Commission, because it is indeed as you say, and the Commission has the right to make these rules itself.
I den forbindelse vil jeg gerne bemærke, at beslutningen om at anlægge en sådan højhastighedsforbindelse og den pågældende linjeføring er an liggender, der er forbeholdt de to medlemsstater.
Certainly in Finland and a number of other Member States it has been severely criticized. How can we trust the experts sent by the Commission if they have already been gagged and bound to support the Commission's point of view?
Men jeg vil dog minde om, at denne forbindelse er omhandlet i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets beslutning af 1682/96/EØF om Fællesskabets retningslinjer for udvikling af det transeuropæiske transportnet.
Worse still, the Commission says in its reply that in such circumstances it is perfectly entitled to ask for such guarantees of loyalty.
På kort nr. 3; 3.5, der er bilag til denne beslutning, figurerer denne forbindelse som planlagt højhastighedsforbindelse, i øvrigt i den forbindelse uden angivelse af den nøjagtige linjeføring.
This in its way is an even more wideranging practice and in my opinion it will be good for the Council to be aware of this.
Crowley (UPE). - (EN) Jeg vil gerne takke rådsformanden for hans lange og informative svar.
Patijn. - (NL) Ambassador Moratinos was appointed at the end of last year as the Council's special envoy to the peace process in the Middle East.
Men det var en lille smule ved siden af, for spørgsmålet gik specifikt på· mulighederne for at få en chance til inden for uddannelsessystemet.
His first job was to pull out all the stops to concentrate his total attention on restarting the peace process which had grounded to a halt, especially the situation in Hebron and the evacuation in Hebron by the Israeli army.
Camisón Asensio (PPE). - (ES) Hr. formand for Rådet, jeg takker Dem for de oplysninger, De har givet os.
I can assure you that the CouncU, and especially the Dutch presidency, is extremely pleased with the work and achievements of Mr Moratinos in the peace process.
Der er gennem de sidste år blevet distribueret hundrede af dokumenter - mange af dem fra Rådet - nogle af dem i flotte farver, med skitser til et højhastighedstog mellem Madrid og Lissabon. Indbyggerne i Madrid, Lissabon, Extremadura og Kastilien-La Mancha vidste, at det drejede sig om en meget interessant forbedring, selv om den var så langsigtet, at den ikke en gang var med i de transeuropæiske net.
At the present time, for Mr Moratinos has been in his position for only a few weeks, I have been given special reports on the human rights situation.
Men denne »langsigtethed« giver på grund af den mulige gennemførelse en vis forhåbning.
It is also regularly discussed in normal contacts between the Council and Ambassador Moratinos.
Det, jeg gerne vil spørge rådsformanden om, er, hvordan det kan være, at vi, når vi accepterer, at Rådet tidligere har givet dette spørgsmål høj prioritet, alligevel stadig står over for dette problem?
I should also like to tell you that Commissioner Liikanen, who represents a slightly more modern and perhaps more democratic concept of administration, has condemned this practice today in the Finnish press.
Hvordan kan det være, at vi ikke har set på de strukturelle problemer, der bevirker, at folk falder ud af uddannelsessystemet?
I hope the Commission will take up a position on this and will talk to the commissioners about it because this project is important to the Council as well.
Nu hører vi, at det drejer sig om en multimodal forbindelse mellem Spanien og Portugal og resten af Europa, og jeg har faktisk stillet spørgsmålet for at få fjernet enhver tvivl én gang for alle.
Mrs Banotti's question of impediments to trade is also being monitored by the Council and the Member States.
Vi ser, at tvivlen fortsat eksisterer, men at der stadig er plads til håb efter kommissærens ord. Så vi bliver ved med at håbe.
What we are particularly concerned about here is doing everything possible to stimulate economic activities and create economic opportunities in the Palestinian areas in view of the unemployment and the social problems in these regions; a strong economic basis is essential for stable, peaceful relations in the Palestinian regions and
Men endelig ser vi, at dette projekt ikke er annulleret, eftersom man har vedtaget den multimodale linje fra Lissabon via Valladolid til Frankrig.
Patijn. - (NL) My first problem was that I was unaware of the Commission's regulation, but I now have a second
Her er der tale om et vist spændingsfelt, og dette må vi bestandig at tage behørigt hensyn til.
Patijn successful, with a treaty being concluded at the end of the year?
Spørgsmål nr. 6 af Mary Banotti (H-0115/97): Om: Interimsaftalen om handel med Israel
problem, namely that I do not know the Commission's answer to Mrs Hautala's question, so this debate is rather bizarre.
Finder Rådet det godtgjort, at artikel 1 i interimsaftalen om handel med Israel kontrolleres og gennemføres på passende vis?
If she thinks the Commission's activities in her country hinder normal events concerning the European.
Kan Parlamentet forvente at få forelagt en rapport fra EU's særlige udsending i Mellemøsten om de særlige opgaver, han har fået tildelt i medfør af Dublin. erklæringen fra december 1996?
Monetary Union, then the government in Helsinki will not fail to raise the matter with the Commissioner responsible either directly or through its own Commissioner.
Dette gælder så vel Israel som PLO, med hvem Det Europæiske Fællesskab den 24. februar i år har indgået en interimsaftale.
But I find it rather difficult to answer this question on the basis of documents and information with which I am not familiar.
Patijn, formand for Rådet. - (NL) Hr. formand, jeg kan sige følgende til spørgsmålet fra fru Ulla Sandbæk.
Patijn, President-in-Office of the Council. - (NL) I under stand that Mr Bertens has put three questions and I shall take each of them in turn.
Nr. 4-497/67 hensigtsmæssigt med henblik på at overbevise de europæiske borgere om den fælles valuta?
I agree with Mr Bertens that the participation of 110 countries in the Vienna conference must be regarded as a great success.
Er en sådan erklæring i overensstemmelse med den etik, der sædvanligvis forventes af videnskabsmænd, og med de demokratiske og pluralistiske værdier?
This large-scale participation demonstrates international concern about the problem of land mines and antipersonnel mines in particular.
Banotti (PPE). - (EN) Hr. rådsformand, er De tilfreds med de rapporter, der kommer fra den særlige forhandler? Forventer De, at han regelmæssigt vil rapportere direkte til det relevante parlamentsudvalg?
At the same time, however, it is equally clear that major efforts still are required to overcome the differences of opinion on the content of a general ban on antipersonnel mines and the way such a ban should be implemented.
Jeg kan fortælle Dem, at Rådet, især det nederlandske formandskab, er yderst tilfreds med hr. Moratinos' indsats og resultater i denne fredsproces.
On Mr Bertens' second question I would say that in the past the European Union has supported the Ottawa process on various occasions.
Dette er i hvert fald i Finland og i andre medlemslande blevet stærkt kritiseret.
All 15 Member States took part in the Ottawa and Vienna conferences.
Hvordan kan vi have tillid til de eksperter, som Kommissionen udsender, hvis de allerede har valgt at tie og forpligtet sig til Kommissionens betragtninger?
Land mines and the way in which a total ban should be effected is the subject of intensive EU coordination.
Det vil sige, at denne praksis reelt har større udbredelse, og jeg synes, at Rådet bør være klar over dette.
It is also important to adopt tactics which offer the greatest chance of results.
Spørgsmål nr. 7 af Heidi Hautala
The forum is a means, not an aim in itself.
Lindqvist (ELDR). - (SV) Jeg må sige, at jeg er lidt forbavset over, at Rådet tager så let på dette spørgsmål.
Lindqvist (ELDR). - (SV) I must say that I am rather surprised that the Council is not taking this matter more seriously.
Det er dog vel sådan, at det er Rådets ansvar, om sådanne metoder skal anses for at være acceptable eller ej.
The Council should after all be responsible for whether these types of methods are acceptable or not.
Derfor kan man ikke blot feje spørgsmålet til side ved at sige, at man ikke har kendskab til sagen.
The matter cannot be waved aside with the excuse that you do not know anything about it.
For det første finder jeg det beklageligt, og næsten på grænsen til uvidenhed, ikke at være klar over, hvad der foregår i ens egen organisation.
First of all I find it deplorable, ignorant even, not to know what is going on in one's own organisation.
For det andet turde det efter min mening være en selv følge, at man svarer, når man får et spørgsmål, og ikke henviser til en anden institution, fordi det er Kommissionens forslag, der kritiseres, eftersom Rådet har det over ordnede ansvar for, hvad der foregår på området - det har Rådet og dets repræsentanter altid.
Secondly, I think it ought to be a matter of principle to reply when you are given a question and not to refer the matter to another institution, especially as it is the Commission's own proposal that is being criticised and the CouncU has overaU responsibility for what is happening in this area, as has always been the case with the Council and the Council's representatives.
Nu vil jeg gerne vide, hvad Rådet agter at gøre ved denne sag i betragtning af, hvad et medlem af Europaparlamentet i dag har gjort det opmærksomt på.
My question is what action the Council plans to take bearing in mind the information given by a Member of the European Parliament.
For nylig har Den Europæiske Union besluttet at prøve på under nedrustningskonferencen i Genève at få igangsat forhandlinger om et effektivt verdensomspændende forbud mod brug, produktion, besiddelse og overdragelse af personelminer, hvor målet er så hurtigt som muligt at nå frem til en aftale.
The European Union recently decided to try to start negotiations in the Geneva Disarmament Conference on an effective worldwide ban on the use, production, possession and transfer of antipersonnel mines, with the aim of producing a treaty as quickly as possible.
Denne forhandlingsproces udelukker naturligvis ikke aktiv EU-deltagelse i Ottawa-processen.
This negotiation .process does not in any way exclude active EU participation in the Ottawa process.
Imidlertid er det på dette stadium ikke muligt at angive, hvad EU's fremtidige konkrete bidrag til Ottawa processen bliver, uafhængigt af udviklingerne på nedrustningskonferencen og andetsteds.
At this stage, however, it is impossible to determine what the future specific contribution of the European Union in the Ottawa process will be, independent of developments in the conference on disarmament and elsewhere.
Patijn. - (NL) For at rydde en misforståelse af vejen: det er Kommissionens eget ansvar at give oplysninger om gennemførelsen af love og gennemførelsesbeslutninger angående Den Europæiske Union, og det er ikke Rådets sag at kontrollere Kommissionen i alle detaljer.
Patijn. - (NL) To avoid any misunderstanding: the Com mission has a responsibUity of its own to provide informa tion on the implementation of legislation and the implementing decisions concerning the European Community and it is not up to the CouncU to monitor the Commission in aU details.
Jeg gentager videre, at jeg finder det vanskeligt at gå videre med disse spørgsmål og svar, fordi jeg hverken kender forretningsordenen eller det svar, Kommissionen selv har givet på fru Hautalas skriftlige spørgsmål.
I repeat that it is difficult to continue discussion on these questions and answers because I do not know the Regulation nor the Commission's answer to the written questions put by Mrs Hautala.
Formanden. - Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 8 (H-0127/97).
President - As Mrs Stenzel is not present, Question No 8 (H-0127/97) falls.
Spørgsmål nr. 9 af Jan Bertens (H-0132/97):
Question No 9 by Mr Bertens (H-0132/97)
For så vidt angår hr. Bertens sidste spørgsmål vil jeg gerne svare, at formandskabet går ud fra, at alle femten med lemsstater vil yde et konstruktivt bidrag i Bruxelles.
To Mr Bertens' last question I would reply that the Presidency assumes'that all 15 member States will make a constructive contribution in Brussels.
Hvad det præcise indhold af EU's bidrag i Bruxelles bliver kan endnu ikke angives.
I cannot yet indicate the specific content of the EU contribution in Brussels.
Som sagt, så vil dette blandt afhænge af udviklingerne andetsteds.
As I have already said, it wiU partly depend on developments elsewhere.
Formandskabet har foreslået medlemsstaterne at begynde koordinationsdrøftelserne herom i begyndelsen af juni.
The Presidency has proposed to the Member States that coordination meetings should start at the beginning of June.
Europa-Parlamentet har klart udtalt sig for et forbud mod personelminer.
The European Parliament has declared its unequivocal support for a ban on antipersonnel mines.
EP har desuden hilst Rådets sidste fælles optræden på dette område velkommen.
It has also welcomed the action recently taken by the Council in this matter on the Community's behalf.
Personelminer drøftes for øjeblikket både under »Ottowa-processen« og inden for FN's nedrustningskonference.
APMs are currently being discussed both in the 'Ottawa process' and at the UN disarmament conference.
FN-konferencen truer imidlertid med at køre fast på andre spørgsmål.
The UN conference is, however, in danger of grinding to a halt over other issues.
Det er derfor af største betydning, at Den Europæiske Union prioriterer Ottawaprocessen højt.
It is therefore extremely important that the European Union should give a high priority to the Ottawa process.
Finder formanden ikke også, at den første opfølgningskonference efter Ottawaprocessen i Wien var en succes, især da over 100 lande deltog heri?
Does the President agree that the first followup conference in the Ottawa process in Vienna was a success, partly because it was attended by more than 100 countries?
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) Jeg vil gerne takke Rådet hjerteligt for dets kamp for et totalt forbud mod det mest umenneskelige våben, som vi kender i øjeblikket: the anti-personnel mine eller the anti-people mine.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) I would Uke to thank the Council warmly for its commitment to a total ban on the most inhumane weapon we know, the antipersonnel mine or the anti-people mine.
Jeg er også glad over, at Ottawaprocessen ikke alene bliver fulgt meget nøje, men at den også bliver betragtet som et godt forum. Jeg håber, at dette forum, som kom i stand på canadisk initiativ i oktober sidste år, på en eller anden måde også vil resultere i, at like-minded countries, lande der ligger på den samme linje, støtter en konvention.
I am also pleased that the Ottawa process is not only being closely monitored but that it is also regarded as a good forum.
Det er en skam, at landminerne, således som det også skete i 1995 og 1996, skal spille en underordnet rolle under drøftelserne på nedrustningskonferencen.
I regret that land mines wiU not feature prominently in the disarmament conference, as also happened in 1995 and 1996.
Jeg ved, at der blandt medlemmerne i Den Europæiske Union er en fem stykker, som hellere så dette, blandt andet Frankrig og Storbritannien, men jeg håber i al fald, at dette formand skab vil prøve via diplomatiets vej at gøre noget ved dette.
I realise that there are some five Member States of the European Union, including France and the United King dom, which prefer it that way, but I hope that this Presidency at any rate will use its diplomatic endeavours to change that position.
Kan formanden garantere, at Rådet vil forpligte sig til at gøre en aktiv EU-indsats i Ottawa-processen, uafhængigt af aktiviteterne på FN's nedrustningskonference?
Can he guarantee that the Council is committed to the Union's active involvement in the Ottawa process, regardless of the activities of the UN disarmament conference?
Patijn. - (NL) Jeg vil på formandskabets vegne erklære mig ganske enig i, at det har absolut politisk prioritet at få styr på en af denne verdens plager, som er kommet totalt ud af kontrol.
Patijn. - (NL) On behalf of the Presidency I wish to stress the absolute poütical priority of containing an international plague which has got completely out of control.
Denne store deltagelse vidner om den ver densomspændende interesse for landmineproblematikken, især personelminer.
Land mines used to be a mihtary weapon, nowadays they
I forlængelse af hr. Bertens tredje spørgsmål om opfølgningsarbejde vil jeg bare gerne vide, om Rådet er op mærksom på den mængde publicity omkring netop dette spørgsmål, der blev fremkaldt af et besøg aflagt af et
What specific action will the President of the Council take to ensure that the followup conferences in the Ottawa process, like that in Brussels in June, are
Needle tidligere medlem af den britiske kongefamilie, prinsesse Diana, i Angola sammen med Røde Kors.
Patijn without frontiers. That is why the Council in adopting the directives on the abolition of tax borders, with effect from 1 January 1993, decided to put an end to these taxfree sales.
Mener Rådet, at hun og andre internationale celebriteter har en rolle at spille, når det gælder at fastholde den seriøse opmærksom hed, som dette vigtige spørgsmål bør have?
Resistance to such a concept will have to be broken down and thï economic interests wiU undoubtedly also have to be considered, but this process has been started and we shall bring it to a conclusion as best we can.
teoretisk model, hvor der er fuld konkurrence, og alle markeder er jævnbyrdige, kan reformer af denne art muligvis give anledning til en økonomisk gevinst.
In this case, I cannot see any profit for anyone involved. In a theoretical model with unlimited competition and a balanced market reforms of this kind could possibly bring a financial profit.
Men i virkelighedens EU med 20 millioner arbejdsløse kan sådanne gevinster ikke opnås.
However, in the EU, as it is at present, with 20 million unemployed, such profits do not exist.
Personligt har jeg selv hørt om det i medierne, og uden i øvrigt at foretage en konkret vurdering af dette besøg, mener jeg, at det er af særlig betydning at skabe tilstrækkelig politisk tilslutning for at få gjort en ende på fænomenet »landmine« som terrorvåben.
I just wondered, following Mr Bertens' third question on followup work, whether the CouncU is aware of the large level of publicity that was generated on this very subject by the visit to Angola with the Red Cross of a former member of the British Royal Family, Princess Diana.
Mennesker, der er meget synlige, og med en stor evne til at motivere mennesker kan på deres egen måde bidrage, til, at offentligheden bliver opmærksom på problemet.
Does the Council feel that she and other international celebrities have a role to play in perpetuating the serious publicity that could be given to this highly important issue?
Jeg kan nævne, at det for Sveriges vedkommende drejer sig om tab af 5.000 job, først og fremmest på færgerne.
It should be mentioned that in Sweden we are talking about approximately 5, 000 jobs, primarily on the ferries, that will be lost.
For hele Unionen er der formentlig tale om 10, 20 eller 30 gange så mange arbejdspladser plus de indirekte virkninger i form af højere fragtomkostninger.
For the Community this must be closer to 10, 20 or 30 times more, in addition to the indirect effects of freight becoming more expensive.
Jeg mener, at det i betragtning af den store arbejdsløshed er forkert at gen nemtvinge reformer af denne art. Derfor vil jeg gerne henstille til rådsformanden, at man tager spørgsmålet op til fornyet overvejelse og i det mindste iværksætter en konsekvensanalyse af de planlagte ændringer.
I believe it is wrong to push through this type of reform when the levels of unemployment are as high as they are. I therefore appeal to the chair of the council to bring the matter up for discussion and to at least initiate an analysis of the impUcations of these amendments.
Spørgsmål nr. 10 af Sören Wibe
People with vision and power to motivate other people can in their own way contribute to public awareness.
Om: Afgiftsfrit salg inden for EU
President - Question No 10 by Mr Wibe (H-0133/97) Subject: Taxfree sales in the EU
Kommissionen svarede på en forespørgsel den 18.2.1997, at der ikke var behov for at undersøge følgerne af afskaffelsen af det afgiftsfrie salg inden for EU, og at afgørelsen herom var blevet truffet for lang tid siden, så der havde været rigelig tid til at omstille sig.
The Commission stated in its answer to a question on 18 February 1997 that there was no need to investigate the consequences of abolishing taxfree sales in the EU and that the decision to abolish them had been taken long ago, so that there had been ample time in which to adapt.
Patijn. - (NL) Jeg tager hr. Wibes bemærkning til efter retning.
Patijn. - (NL) I take note of Mr Wibe's comments.
Jeg mener, at han giver en noget ensidig fremstilling af tingene.
I think he has'a rather one-sided view of this issue.
Den store vinder ved denne politiske ændring i Europa er medlemsstaternes statskasser, der vil få betragtelige stigninger i deres punktafgiftsindtægter, fordi det omfattende afgiftsfri salg, der trods alt altid har været en anomali i det normale samkvem mellem med lemsstaterne, dermed falder bort, og man overgår til normal afgiftsopkrævning.
The major winner of this policy change in Europe is the treasuries of the Member States which will have considerable increases in their excise revenue .because the big taxfree sales, which were always an anomaly for normal intraCommunity traffic, will cease and be replaced with normal tax levies.
Jeg tror også, at det er en kæmpe gevinst for folkesundheden, .fordi alkoholproblemet sandsynligvis også bliver lidt mindre på denne måde.
I also think that the major winner will be pubhc health as the problem of alcoholism may well be shghtly reduced.
Det antages at ville koste i alt ca. 100.000 arbejdspladser, hvis det afgiftsfrie salg afskaffes.
Commentators beüeve about 100 000 jobs in aU to be at risk if taxfree sales are abolished.
Især færgetrafikken mellem de nordiske lande tjener store beløb på salg af afgiftsfrie varer.
Ferry services between the Scandinavian countries in particular earn vital revenue from taxfree sales.
Flere ruter, f.eks. ruten mellem Umeå i Sverige og Wasa i Finland risikerer at blive nedlagt, hvis det afgiftsfrie salg forsvinder.
Many routes, such as that between Umeå (Sweden) and Vaasa (Finland), could close if taxfree sales are ended.
Andersson (PSE). - (SV)'Jeg vil gerne takke Rådet for svaret, selvom jeg synes, det var negativt.
Andersson (PSE). - (SV) May I thank the Council for its reply, even if I think it was somewhat negative.
Jeg kan godt forstå, at afgiftsfrit salg strider mod principperne for det indre marked.
I can understand the principle that an internal market should not have duty-free trade.
