Norges nye regering har valgt den åbne hårde Unje, mens en række EU-stater har bestemt sig for at holde en lav profil.
We should perhaps let a little time go by, as you know, in Asia, patience is a great art.
Wohlfart. - (FR) Jeg tror, at medlemmerne af dette Parlament vil være enige om at indrømme, at der med hensyn til menneskerettighederne ofte er en kløft mellem
May Sweden therefore institute routine checks on consignments of meat imported into Sweden?
Hvilke planer eksisterer der for EU's optræden i FN's Menneskerettighedskommission? tighedskommission?
One absolute minimum requirement is that veterinary certificates issued in an EU country must be trustworthy.
Wohlfart støtte. Jeg regner under alle omstændigheder med at fremlægge dette under det næste møde i Rådet om generelle anliggender.
President cerned to intensify theh checks on meat exports to prevent the export of salmonella-infected meat?
Formanden. - Da spørgsmål nr. 5 og 6 omhandler sager af samme art, vil de blive besvaret sammen.
the Algerian government, but they do implicate the Algerian authorities.
Spørgsmål nr. 5 af Sören Wibe (H-0802/97): Om: Kontrol med salmonellainficeret kød
Question No 6 by Hadar Cars (H-0815/97) Subject: Spread of contaminated meat within the EU
I 1992 fik jeg for første gang mulighed for at tale med Kinas udenrigsminister om menneskerettighedsspørgsmålet.
When Sweden joined the European Union it became part of the common market in agricultural products.
På det tidspunkt var der tale om et tabubelagt spørgsmål for kineserne, og svaret var meget afvisende og meget kort.
This is a market which presupposes that countries carry out inspections of their agricultural products.
I februar sidste år fik jeg lejlighed til at ledsage vores premierminister hr. Juncker under en officiel rejse tU Kina.
Sweden is one of the few practically salmonella-free countries in Europe.
Spørgsmålet om menneskerettighederne og demokratiseringen blev påny bragt på bane, men vi kunne dog da konstatere en vis ændring i tonen på det svar, som vi modtog.
Inspections carried out in Sweden on imported meat have revealed large quantities of salmonella.
Den svenske Levnedsmiddelstyrelse har i perioden marts-september undersøgt 569 kødpartier importeret fra EU-lande.
As far as the Council's reply is concerned, I would still like to ask the President-in-Office of the Council whether it is not reasonable for us to be able to introduce routine inspections in Sweden.
75 % af disse havde dyrlægeattest på, at kødet var salmonellafrit.
This is an issue which rouses the entire Swedish people.
Hvert fjerde af de undersøgte kødpartier var enten ikke ledsaget af garantiattester, eller disse var ufuldstændige.
We have never had salmonella in our country, thanks to the fact that we have had proper veterinary inspections.
Prøver af 57 partier med dyrlægeattest viste, at tolv var salmoneUainficerede.
However, the treaty we have en tered into is based on the idea that the certificates we receive from the exporting countries should be correct.
Af disse var syv franske, to danske, to spanske og en belgisk.
Evidently they are not correct.
Af de franske var syv ud af otte undersøgte partier inficerede. I begyndelsen af september 1997 lovede den franske landbrugsminister sin svenske kollega, at den franske kontrol ville blive skærpet.
In this case, surely, concern for human health must be the spirit of the treaty, so to· speak, and must therefore allow Sweden to set up routine inspections when we import meat, as long as it continues to be the case that meat is infected in spite of the fact that people have certificates saying the opposite.
Alligevel kommer der fortsat salmonellainficeret fransk kød ind på det svenske marked.
The meat had been stated by the supplier to have been inspected and free from salmonella, and there are also veterinary documents certifying this, clearly unfoundedly.
Alene i september er der fundet fem salmoneUainficerede prøver fra fransk kød.
Most of the meat which was inspected and subsequently proved to contain salmonella comes from France.
Forholdet mellem salmonella og BSE er interessant.
Several thousand people die each year throughout Europe from salmonella poisoning.
Skønsvis dør der omkring tyve mennesker i Europa årligt af kogalskab, mens der kan dø tusind hvert år af salmonella.
These are high figures and in themselves clearly show that the EU should take measures to ensure that meat sold in Europe meets the required standard.
Den strategi, som Den Europæiske Union kan anvende, det er en strategi med en fortsat dialog på alle planer, en dialog, der vil gøre det muligt for dem at gå fremad skridt for skridt.
It is also a matter of consumer protection, given that there are in Europe, as mentioned in the question, around one thousand people who die every year as a consequence of sammonelosis.
Jeg tror, at dette er en politik, som i mange år endnu vil skuffe vores forventninger.
The problem is therefore a relatively important one.
Efter min mening er der dog ikke noget andet alternativ på nuværende tids punkt.
What measures does the Council propose to take to prevent the spread of contaminated meat within Eu rope?
Men jeg tror fortsat - og det er min personlige mening - at de kommentarer, der blev fremsat af præsidenten for De Forenede Stater, bliver ved med at være interessante, for der er alligevel en opblødning.
Wohlfart, President-in-Office of the Council. - (FR) The two questions raised by the honourable Members relate to problems of inspections carried out by the Member States themselves on certificates drawn up by theh own veterinary departments.
Måske skal man lade tiden arbejde lidt for sig, for som De ved, så er tålmodighed en stor dyd i Asien.
The Council, for its part, has taken all the measures possible in this respect, and I would like to refer you to the directives which are currendy in force.
Bør Rådet ikke opfordre de berørte lande til at skærpe kontrollen med kødeksporten, så der ikke eksporteres salmonellainficeret kød?
If there is no wish to consider the possibility of changing the rules governing intraCommunity trade in meat to overcome the disadvantages which have been raised in the questions, the best thing to do would certainly be to invite the Commission itself tomake a proposal to the Council in the proper way.
Formanden. - Tak, hr. Wohlfart, for Deres svar og især for denne opfordring til tålmodighed, fordi det i denne så sammensatte institution er en ualmindeligt nødvendig egenskab. Og jeg beder også Dem om at have tålmodighed, fordi jeg holder Dem fast ved dette spørgsmål, da jeg har fået en forskriftsmæssig anmodning om et supplerende spørgsmål af hr. Posselt, som har ordet i et minut.
Over and above the general Directive 64/433/EEC, I would cite more particularly Directive 89/13/662/EEC, which in particular sets down the rules in the area of inspection at the country of origin and the country of destination, and more recendy, Decision 95/409/EEC, setting down rules related to microbiological sampling tests for salmonella.
Posselt (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg vU gerne have lov til at takke Dem for Deres glimrende svar med hensyn til Kina.
Cars (ELDR). - (SV) Keeping salmonella out demands a lot of a country.
Jeg vil gerne spørge Dem, om der også i Den Europæiske Union er planer om at udnævne en sådan særlig udsending for Tibet, eller hvordan Tibetspørgsmålet for tiden bliver behandlet i Rådet.
How can we justify these costs when, in spite of veterinary certificates, of a lot of the meat being imported proves to contain large amounts of salmonella?
Da Sverige blev medlem af Den Europæiske Union, blev det en del af det fælles landbrugsmarked.
I am in favour of the European market for agricultural produce. It is good for consumers.
Det er et marked, som forudsætter, at landene fører kontrol med deres landbrugsprodukter.
But a precondition is that we are all able to rely on the fact that the food we buy is not a danger to health.
Ved svenske kontroller af importeret kød er der fundet store mængder salmonella.
Thousands of Europeans die each year from salmonella poisoning.
Leverandøren har oplyst, at kødet er kontrolleret og fundet fri for salmonella, og det er også ledsaget af en dyrlægeattest, som -klart uretmæssigt - attesterer dette.
As consumers we must be able to have confidence that the food we buy and eat is good for us.
Størstedelen af det kontrollerede kød, som siden har vist sig at indeholde salmonella, stammer fra Frankrig.
It is therefore in the interests of the whole of Europe for the Council to accept its responsibility to stop salmonella.
I alt er der flere tusind mennesker, der årligt dør af salmonellaforgiftning i Europa.
After Mr Wohlfart's formal and uninvolved response, I am unable to trust the Council in this respect.
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Rådet at iværksætte for at forhindre spredningen af inficeret kød i Europa?
On the initiative of Sweden and Finland, the Council has nevertheless raised this question at its September session this year.
Wohlfart, formand for Rådet. - (FR) De to spørgsmål, som de ærede parlamentsmedlemmer har rejst, vedrører problemet med den kontrol, som medlemsstaterne selv foretager af de attester, der udstedes af deres egne veteri-
Wibe (PSE). - (SV) I would first like to correct a choice of words in my previous contribution. The reports on massacres in Algeria which I spoke about do not implicate
Wohlfart. - (FR) Det er et udmærket spørgsmål.
Wohlfart - (FR) If my ears do not betray me, and if I understand the honourable Member aright, he was not asking a question.
Indtil videre er denne mulighed, der i dette tilfælde blev nævnt af det ærede parlamentsmedlem, endnu ikke blevet be handlet i Rådet.
He said that I had made a declaration which was fairly clear and straightforward, but he doubted that I was really convinced about the action to be undertaken, if I have understood things right.
Wohlfart nære myndigheder.
We have succeeded in Sweden, but it cost us a great deal.
Rådet har for sit vedkommende truffet alle de mulige foranstaltninger i den forbindelse, og jeg vil gerne henvise Dem til de direktiver, der er gældende på nuværende tidspunkt.
What are you doing on the Council to ensure that other countries act in a similar, if expensive way and so eradicate salmonella?
sammen med andre regler, der har til hensigt at forhindre, at der i samhandelen inden for Fællesskabet indføres nogle elementer, som vil kunne fordreje reglerne for det indre marked.
I would also like us to be able to rely on the certificates which are issued in all parts of Europe.
Hvis man ønsker at overveje muligheden for at ændre de regler, der gælder for samhandelen med kød inden for Fællesskabet, med henblik på at afhjælpe de ulemper, der lige er blevet nævnt i spørgsmålene, så vil det uden tvivl være bedst at henvende sig til Kommissionen for at opfordre denne til at forelægge et behørigt udformet forslag for Rådet.
When does the Council expect to realize the intentions which are con tained in the Commission's proposal on food legislation and which are being so hotly debated in the Member States?
Det er nødvendigt, men det koster mange penge.
I would not wish to speculate further.
Hvordan kan man motivere disse udgifter, hvis meget af det kød, der importeres, trods veterinærattester, viser sig at indeholde store mængder salmonella?
I believe that if the Commission, with proof to hand, can demonstrate other more efficient means to react to the problem, it will be the Council's responsibility to take these decisions, and take its appropriate share of responsibility.
Spørgsmålet om kontrollen af overholdelsen af disse bestemmelser hører først og fremmest under medlemssta terne, men også, på et mere generelt plan, under Kommissionen, da denne er traktatemes vogter, og i sidste instans eventuelt under Domstolen.
Wohlfart. - (FR) I will not now take up all the time available for speaking by entering into a dialogue, and at all events, yours is the sole responsibility for directing the debate.
På initiativ af Sverige og Finland har Rådet dog taget dette spørgsmål op på sit møde i september i år.
Lindqvist (ELDR). - (SV) As you see, this is a very important question for us in the North, especially in Sweden which has often been hit by infected meat.
Ved den lejlighed lagde Rådet mærke til disse to medlemsstaters bekymring, samt til at Kommissionen har til hensigt at undersøge situationen nærmere og med den største opmærksomhed og at tage direkte kontakt med de forskellige berørte medlemsstater.
Furthermore I would add that if the Commission believes that the situation is becoming truly a matter of concern, it is the Commission's responsibility to make a proposal to the Council of Ministers, along the lines suggested by the honourable Member.
Jeg er for det europæiske marked for landbrugsprodukter, det er godt for forbrugerne.
Hulthén (PSE). - (SV) Salmonella in itself is one problem.
Men det forudsætter, at vi alle kan stole på, at den mad, vi køber, ikke er sundhedsfarlig.
Even worse are the salmonella bacteria which have become resistant to antibiotics.
Som forbrugere skal vi kunne have tillid til, at den mad, vi køber og spiser, er god for os.
What would be the result if Sweden still introduced routine border inspections?
Derfor er det i hele Europas interesse, at Rådet tager sit ansvar for at stoppe salmonellaen.
Would we then receive a visit from the President-in-Office of the Council, or another representative of the Council, who would stop the inspections?
Efter Wohlfarts for melle og uengagerede svar tør jeg ikke stole på Rådet i denne henseende.
What would be the result of such a decision on the part of Sweden?
Wohlfart. - (FR) Hvis jeg har forstået det ærede parlamentsmedlem ret, så stillede han ikke noget spørgsmål.
Wohlfart - (FR) I have not ducked an answer, but the Commission must give you a formal answer.
Han sagde, at jeg havde fremsat en ret klar og tydelig erklæring, men hvis jeg har forstået det ret, så tvivlede han på, at jeg virkelig var overbevist om den handling, der skal foretages. Er det korrekt?
However, as a doctor, I must point out that as regards resistance to antibiotics, the problem, unfortunately, is not limited only to the bacteria known as salmonella.
Wibe (PSE). - (SV) Jeg vil først geme korrigere et ordvalg i mit foregående indlæg.
Lindqvist (ELDR). - (SV) If Sweden concludes that routine border inspections are necessary and introduces such inspections, in spite of the fact that you said that it was not allowed, what would happen then?
De rapporter om massakrer i Algeriet, jeg talte om, implicerer ikke den algeriske regering, men dog de algeriske myndigheder.
What would be the result of that for the Member State of Sweden?
Cars (ELDR). - (SV) Jeg mente, at det svar, som ministeren gav, ikke tydede på, at der fandtes nogen særlig vilje til at angribe salmonellaproblemet i Europa i sin helhed.
President. - Mr Wohlfart, you can, of course, arrange a meeting with Mrs Hulthén afterwards.
Hvad gør De i Rådet for at sørge for, at andre lande agerer på en lignende omend kostbar måde, men derved får fjernet salmonellaen?
There are countless cases of this, including staphylococcus, the bacterium which causes infections that are treated with penicillin.
Formanden. - Hr. Wohlfart, hr. Cars, De fører en dialog, der er uden for forretningsordenen.
However, that is a scientific matter, and we are examining the issue from the healthpolicy point of view.
Dette formandskab er ualmindeligt fleksibelt, men jeg beder Dem venügst om give mig mulighed for at lede debatten for i det mindste at berettige den gage, jeg får, når jeg er her.
Mrs Thors therefore has the floor for one minute to speak on this issue.
Vi har aldrig nogensinde haft salmonella i vores land, takket være at vi har haft en ordentlig veterinærkontrol.
There is no prohibition on inspection if there are suspicions.
Den aftale, vi har indgået, baseres jo alligevel på, at de attester, vi får fra de eksporterende lande, skal være korrekte. Åbenbart er de ikke korrekte.
I think in the way you express the reasons behind Mr Wibe's question made allusion to certain countries.
Wohlfart. - (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil ikke skjule for Dem, at spørgsmålet om salmonellainficering også i aUerhøjeste grad interesserer mig, som er uddannet læge.
Thors (ELDR). - (SV) The problem with salmonella is due partly to the fact that we cannot rely on the inspections which have been carried out.
Dette gælder også for beskyttelsen af forbrugerne, eftersom der i Europa næsten er tusinde mennesker hvert år, der dør af følgerne af salmoneUaforgiftning, sådan som det blev nævnt i spørgsmålet.
My question is when does the Council really expect to have effectiveness so that the inspections which are carried out can be checked and we can rely on the certificates which exist.
Der er således her tale om et ret væsentligt problem.
The questioners have emphasized this.
Hvis jeg har forstået begrundelsen for spørgsmålet ret, så kender man landene, og jeg vil sige, at hvis De har en mistanke, tror jeg¡ at en stikprøvekontrol på bestemmelsesstedet altid vil være mulig.
Gahrton (V). - (SV) I am not sure that the Council properly understands why we are so angry in Sweden and Finland, but it is of course due to the fact that this is a problem which has arisen through our becoming members of the European Union.
Hulthén (PSE). - (SV) Salmonella er i sig selv et problem.
I would like to ask what objectives actually exist.
Hulthén standser kontrollerne?
Salmonella is part of everyday life.
Hvad bliver altså konsekvensen af en sådan beslutning fra Sveriges side?
I am not quoting word-for-word, but that was the impression he gave.
dem og hvordan man overhovedet har tænkt sig at løse dette problem samt hvor de findes.
In the light of this we desire a bit more commitment and an objective that salmonella shall also be eradicated in the rest of the Union.
Wohlfart - (FR) Jeg forstod ikke helt det sidste af sætningen. Jeg opfordrer det ærede parlamentsmedlem til at gentage sit spørgsmål.
compensation should be paid quickly - which has not happened at all in the past - but that a code of practice should be accepted by all Members of the Council.
Lindqvist (ELDR). - (SV) Hvis Sverige bedømmer, at der kræves rutinemæssige grænsekontroller og indfører sådanne, på trods af at De nu sagde, at det ikke er tilladt, hvad sker der så? Hvad bUver konsekvensen af dette for medlemslandet Sverige?
Would the President-in-Office see whether such a code of practice could be agreed between Member States for any such future incidents?
Wohlfart. - (FR) Jeg undveg ikke at svare, men det er Kommissionen, der skal give Dem det formelle svar.
Wohlfart. - (FR) We are well and truly into salmonella!
Som læge gør jeg Dem dog opmærksom på, at med hensyn til resistens over for antibiotika, så er problemet desværre ikke begrænset til den ene bakterie, som hedder salmonella.
Joking apart, I can assure the honourable Member that the presidency has understood perfectly well what is at issue.
Det skyldes faktisk en umådeholden brag af antibiotika.
It would be a pity if a doctor did not understand what is at stake with the risk of salmonella.
Vi kunne således få en 24 timer lang debat om resistens over for antibiotika, og jeg ville gerne have en sådan debat privat med fra Hulthén en dag.
Trust me, I fully understand the scale of the problem raised here, because by the number of supplementary questions, I can see that it is a matter of grave concern in your countries.
Wohlfart - (FR) Jeg tror, at vi måske har misforstået hinanden. Jeg sagde, at hvis myndighederne i et medlems land, nemlig Sverige, havde en mistanke i dette tilfælde, så kan de foretage en kontrol.
Wohlfart - (FR) Firstly, I would like to say that with a 'view to a solution to this strike, the COREPER at its meeting of 5 November last, looked at the possibility of calling an extraordinary Transport Council.
Det er således ikke forbudt at foretage kontrol, hvis man har en mistanke.
Fortunately the tripartite negotiations in France made it possible to solve the problem, out in the field.
Jeg tror, at der i begrundelsen for hr. Wibes spørgsmål blev hentydet til visse lande. Man kan måske fastslå en vis sammenhæng for i påkommende tilfælde at kunne begrunde en mis tanke.
On the other hand, I do not know which ambassador you had in mind when you were speaking, but to me it does not appear that this ambassador had a very sophisticated understanding of medicine.
Men dette er et videnskabeligt spørgsmål, og vi ser på spørgsmålene ud fra den politisk-sundhedsmæssige synsvinkel, og fra Thors får derfor ordet for at tale om dette spørgsmål i et minut.
But the questions which have been raised by earlier road blocks, involving the need to guarantee transit corridors and accelerate compensation procedures, have already been raised at the Council of Ministers of Transport, and in the General Affairs Council.
Gahrton (V). - (SV) Jeg er ikke sikker på, at Rådet rigtig forstår, hvorfor vi er så oprørte i Sverige og i Finland, men det skyldes naturUgvis, at dette er et problem, som er opstået ved, at vi blev medlemmer af Den Europæiske
For my part, I shall try to submit your proposal, relating to a code of good conduct, to my colleague Mme Delvaux, who has responsibility for the Council of Ministers of Transport, with a view to examining the possibility of adoption of a code of good conduct, as proposed by the honourable Member.
Det er derfor, vi forventer lidt mere engagement.
I have no doubt, in this particular case, that the Council will do just that.
Thors (ELDR). - (SV) Problemet med salmonella skyldes jo delvis, at vi ikke kan stole på de kontroller, der er udført.
President. - (H-0803/97)
Spørgerne har jo fremhævet dette.
Subject: Road hauliers
På den anden side ved vi også, at vi ikke ville have problemet med f.eks. smittet kalkunkød, hvis de samme regler, som nu indføres for oksekød, det vil sige, at oprindelsesmærkning er tilladt, gjaldt for alle fødevareprodukter. I dag er det umuligt for os at mærke kød, som kommer fra et land, hvis kontroller, vi ikke kan stole på.
García-Margallo y Marfil (PPE). - (ES) Mr President-in-Office of the Council, as you will see when we reach the subject of the European City of Culture - I am the Member for Valencia - the problem of the losses caused by road hauliers' strikes is a regular occurrence.
Vi er vel lidt mistænksomme, eftersom den franske ambassadør i Sverige gik offentligt ud og sagde omtrent sådan her: »Lidt salmonella kan man vel tåle.
Will the Council confirm that it will take all possible measures to protect road haulage companies from industrial action in other Member States?
Jeg ønsker også, at vi skal kunne stole på de attester, der er udstedt i alle dele af Europa.
Of the five hundred actions brought in the French courts, only one has been successful.
Hvornår har Rådet tænkt sig at realisere de intentioner, der findes i Kommissionens forslag om fødevarelovgivningen, og som debatteres liv ligt i medlemslandene?
This is because, like all courts, the French courts require two things: that it be clearly determined who is responsible; and that the losses be quantified.
På den baggrund ønsker vi lidt mere engagement og en målsætning om, at salmonella også skal fjernes i resten af Unionen.
I believe that Community law can be extremely useful with regard to both those requirements.
Wohlfart. - (FR) Spørgsmålet om kontrol og om den efterfølgende beskyttelse af forbrugerne, det vil i dette tilfælde sige beskyttelsen af menneskers liv, henhører under Kommissionens kompetence.
Wohlfart, President-in-Office of the Council. - (FR) First, the Council is fully conscious of the untoward consequences that road barricades had in France in 1996 on the free circulation of goods and persons in Europe.
Jeg vil ikke kaste mig ud i nogen spekulationer.
It is delighted at the outcome of the recent conflict between truckers and their employers.
Jeg tror, at hvis Kommissionen, med beviser til støtte herfor, foreslår nogle andre mere effektive midler til at dæmme op for problemet, så vil det være Rådets opgave at træffe disse beslutninger og tage sit ansvar.
The Council remains con vinced that, now as then, negotiation is the best way to cope with these and similar situations.
Wohlfart - (FR) Vi har kastet os ud i salmonellaen!
He will also agree that the Member States have a duty to ensure compliance with the treaties.
