Formandskabet og Kommissionen vil tage skridt til at indføre det hurtigst muligt.
Henderson. -1 say to Mr Alavanos that I do not accept his point about the competence of the Council.
Kommissionens decentraliserede funktion og evnen til at samarbejde med de lokale myndigheder på stedet vil sikre den større fleksibilitet, der er nødvendig for at reagere mere hensigtsmæssigt på behovene i Bosnien.
Even if I did, there has to my knowledge been no referral to the Council by either the United Kingdom government or the Greek government for assistance in conciliation.
Direkte forbindelser til de lokale myndigheder vil ligeledes give den bosniske befolkning selv en mere direkte andel i bistandsprojekterne og i af viklingen af dem.
There fore, I still believe that this is a matter for those two nation state governments to determine.
Ændringsforslag 13 og 18 vedrører snarere Kommissionen end Rådet, og bør stiles til kollegerne i Kommissionen. nen.
Henderson. - Again I say to Mr Sanz Fernández, he ac tually can, if he wishes, communicate with the British government.
Jeg vil gerne sige nogle ord om de ændringsforslag, der er med i hr. Schwaigers betænkning.
Lomas (PSE). - Mr President, on a procedural matter.
Jeg tror ikke, at Rådet får meget besvær med en række af disse ændringsforslag.
We were given notice that the Minister would be replying to all ten questions at once.
Hvis man f.eks. tager ændringsforslag 6, hvor Parlamen tet foreslår, at Kommissionen samarbejder med den øverste ansvarlige, ser jeg ingen problemer med det forslag.
He has only replied to Question No 1. Before I have my minute, could you tell me if the Minister is intending to reply to all the questions separately or is that the complete answer to all ten?
Her ser jeg hel ler ingen større problemer.
In other words, his first comment was an an swer to all ten questions.
Ændringsforslag 15: Parlamentet foreslår regelmæssige møder mellem missionscheferne og Kommissionen. Her ser jeg heller ingen større problemer.
Mr Lomas, now that I have explained that point, you have a maximum of 60 seconds.
Det er rimeligt at spørge, hvorfor Rådet nåede frem til en holdning, før Parlamentet blev bedt om en udtalelse.
I thought it might be worthwhile if I broadened this Question Time into something more gen eral.
Det te skyldes ikke nogen ideologisk beslutning om at undgå en diskussion med Parlamentet.
Then several countries have bilateral problems.
Rådet traf denne afgørelse af meget praktiske årsager: Der var tale om en hastesituation.
Un der Napoleon, the French took the first mosasaur head, which is now in Paris.
Fred og stabilitet i Bosnien hænger nært sammen med en vellykket genopbygning af samfundet.
We have tried to get it returned to Maastricht in Limburg. You know the city.
Det er det, hele bistandsprogrammet drejer sig om.
Up until now we have not heard anything from the French.
Vi erkender alle, at foråret er den rigtige årstid at påbegynde arbejdet i, og hvis vi ikke kommer i gang her, vil det betyde en stor for sinkelse i enhver genopbygningsproces, der omfatter byggeindustrien. Vi har ikke råd til flere forsinkelser, og jeg håber, at Parlamentet vil erkende, at dette er et vigtigt po litisk og praktisk argument.
I believe true European integration, real European cooperation, can only take shape if this kind of cultural injustice is put right.
Hvis Parlamentet erkender dette, vil det kunne spille en vigtig rolle ved gennemførelsen af det, jeg anser for vores fælles målsætning.
Lomas (PSE). - If the Council was to refrain from com menting on matters where it had no competence, there would be very few matters in the world that it would be able to comment on.
Parlamentet er klar over, at jeg må tage ændringsforslagene med tilbage til Rådet -jeg er ikke bemyndiget til at træffe beslutninger om det i dag.
Does the Council not feel that, in view of the fact that these sculptures were taken from Greece under Turkish occupation, they are not something in isolation like a painting, but are part of the Parthenon, a building, and they ought to be returned there?
I mellemtiden kan Parlamentet godkende Kommissionens forslag, og Kommissionen kan så om nødvendigt vende tilbage på et senere tidspunkt med ændringer, der er baseret på Parlamentets bemærkninger, som er skitseret i dokumentet.
Also, given that there is such overwhelming, massive support in the United Kingdom, as shown by the surveys, including a television survey which recorded 94 % of people in favour of their return, would the Council like to give an opinion as to whether this would be a practical and good
Så jeg har stor forståelse for udvalgets synspunkter vedrørende be
There are authorizations in the Amsterdam Treaty.
Vi ville miste mere tid, mens det, vi taler om, virkelig er en hastesag.
Noone challenged our com petence at that time.
I den henseende er der ingen meningsforskel mellem Parlamentet og Kommissionen. onen.
On the day that Greece took its seat I lodged a resolution to restore the Elgin marbles.
Vi behøver ikke tale så meget om fortiden.
Henderson. -1 thank Mr Gillis for his supplementary but he is really trying to make the same point as Mr Bertens, from a different angle.
En ting er sikker: Tingene kan forbedres fra vores side.
When it is a matter for the Council, it is already established in the Treaties and sub ject to some modification in the Treaty of Amsterdam.
Alle tre institutioner ligger meget tæt på hinanden i deres forslag og deres forståelse af, hvad der skal gøres.
This is a situation that involves two Member States and the specific question posed to the President-in-Office was as follows: is a political will necessary to resolve this issue that involves these two Member States.
Jeg håber, at genopbygningen og ikke mindst flygtningenes til bagevenden til Bosnien-Herzegovina vil få gavn af resultaterne af denne forhandling.
Does the British Presidency have the political will to contribute to resolving this matter finally and effectively?
Mine damer og herrer, forhandlingen er afbrudt og vil bli ve genoptaget kl. 21.00.
Subject: Effects of abolition of dutyfree sales
Vi er gået i gang med at styrke vores personale i Sarajevo. Der ud sendes flere folk fra Bruxelles. Vi er i gang med en dekoncentration og en decentralisering.
What measures do the Member States intend to implement to deal with the social and economic consequences of the abolition of intra-EU tax and dutyfree sales in accordance with the terms of the 13th recital in the preamble to the Directive 91/680/EEC (') and the 23rd recital in the preamble to Directive 92/12/EEC?(2)
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er spørgsmål til Rådet (B4-0272/98).
Subject: Transport Council request for a study on so cial effects of the abolition of duty free
Hvad angår forslagene om ændring af forordningerne vil jeg sige det samme: Mere fleksibilitet, navnlig ved at hæve tærsklen for medlemsstaternes godkendelse af pro jekter fra 2,5 til 5 millioner.
In view of the decision at the March 17 Transport Council to request Finance Ministers to ask the Com mission to undertake a study into the social effects of the abolition of duty free, can the Presidency confirm
Hr. Truscott har bedt om ordet for en bemærkning til for retningsordenen.
Do you not think that the Treaty of Amsterdam also made an innovation from this point of view?
Truscott (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg er meget op mærksom på tiden, men jeg tager ordet til forretningsor-
Henderson. - I say to Mrs Castellina that, again, it is a matter of interpretation as to what the Amsterdam Treaty
Truscott denens artikel 41, som drejer sig om spørgetiden.
President that this issue will be on the next agenda of the ECOFIN Council?
David (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg skal gøre det gan ske kort.
of employment for those people.
Jeg er sikker på, at mange af mine kolleger i Parlamentet vil sætte pris på det, og hvis det ikke kan gøres for melt, kan nogle af os måske mødes med ham til en uformel spørgetid.
There will be an addi tional £17 per fare for the many hard-pressed citizens throughout the Union.
Formanden. - Hr. Truscott, Deres mening er meget agt værdig, men dette spørgsmål er blevet antaget i overens stemmelse med alle de fastsatte normer, og det er Rådet, som har mulighed for nu at svare eller lade være.
Henderson, President-in-Office of the Council. - In the directives referred to by Mr Cushnahan the Council agreed that duty- and taxfree sales on intraCommunity journeys could continue for a transitional period up until 30 June 1999.
Mine damer og herrer, vi vil nu behandlet en blok på 10 spørgsmål, hvoraf hr. Alavanos, hr. Lomas, hr. Sanz Fer nández, hr. Gillis, fru Castellina og hr. Bertens er til stede i salen. Jeg vil derfor give disse parlamentsmedlemmer og spørgere lejlighed til at stille et tillægsspørgsmål.
Henderson. - I can confirm that the Council could re quest a study without a unanimous decision, but to change the decision which was reached previously would require unanimity.
De har, hr. Henderson, mulighed for at svare på denne blok på 10 spørgsmål og 7 spørgere.
As to Mr Gallagher's question, the President of the Trans port Council has written to the President of Ecofin report ing the views of transport ministers on the need for a Commission study.
Nu giver jeg ikke flere ordet for en bemærkning til forretningsordenen. Hr. Henderson har bedt mig om ordet.
It would be interesting if every study which was ever pro duced guaranteed that the facts would emerge.
De har ordet, før vi begynder på spørgetiden, netop om denne blok på 10 spørgsmål, som hr. Truscott har hen vist til.
I say that as someone who has an airport in his constituency and thus has a vested in terest in these matters.
Da det drejer sig om lignende sager, vil spørgsmål nr. 1 til 10 blive besvaret under ét.
But there are other wider consider ations that the Ecofin Council and the Council of Ministers must take into account.
Om: Samarbejde mellem Den Europæiske Union og UNESCO
I would hope Mr Gallagher would understand that.
Henderson. - (EN) Hr. formand, lige en bemærkning til proceduren, før jeg tager det første spørgsmål.
Gillis (PPE). - The answer again is more or less what I expected, because we have been listening to it for a long time.
I henhold til EF-traktatens 128, stk. 3, fremmer Fællesskabet og dets medlemsstater samarbejdet med tredjelande og med de internationale organisationer, der beskæftiger sig med kulturelle forhold, herunder navnlig Europarådet.
Cassidy (PPE). - I would like to congratulate the President-in-Office and encourage him to stick to his guns in the face of all the persiflage which comes from those who claim to be concerned about dutyfree.
UNESCO vedtog på det møde, kulturministrene afholdt i Mexico i august 1982, at de marmorfriser og statuer, der i sin tid blev fjernet fra Partenon-templet i Athen, og som be finder sig på British Museum, skal leveres tilbage. UNESCO har også betegnet disse som en del af ver dens kulturarv.
However, I was a little concerned because his reply to the earlier question appeared to be rather less forthright and firm than it was last time he came to this House, when he repeated - and I supported him - that there were no plans in Ecofin to return to this subject.
Spørgsmål nr. 2 af Alfred Lomas (H-0327/98):
Henderson. - I have very little to add to my initial re sponse to the questions.
Nuvel, som formand for dette møde, så fastsætter dagsordenen, at der er halvanden time til spørgsmål.
It is up to the Commission whether it decides to produce a report.
Hvis vi ikke i løbet af denne halvanden time kan regne med Rådets uvurderlige og værdifulde tilstede værelse, så kan vi ikke blive ved i halvanden time, men det er min agt at gøre det.
As I said at the last plenary when I ad dressed this subject, there is a lot of speculation as to what the impact of the abolition of dutyfree within the Euro pean Union will be.
De kan gå, når De finder det passende. Men jeg må under alle omstændigheder sige, at det, da vi er begyndt senere, er min agt, som formand for dette møde, at afslutte, således at vi får halvanden time.
There is speculation that jobs will be lost and speculation that jobs will be gained, speculation that consumers will gain overall, speculation that some consumers will lose.
Deres invitation til at tage noget af frokostpausen forekommer mig under alle omstændigheder forfærdelig til lokkende, især hvis det bliver med en middelhavsdiæt.
Individual Member States have to make their own calculations.
Om: Tilbagelevering af Parthenonfrisen til Grækenland land
Gallagher (UPE). - I am pleased that the Transport Council has communicated with the Ecofin Council.
År 2001 vil det være 200 siden, at Parthenonfrisen for lod Athen.
I said at the last plenary that there were no plans by the Ecofin Council to place an item of this nature on the agenda.
Det vil også være det første år i det nye år tusind.
That was the position at that time.
Jeg giver ordet til hr. David, som har en bemærkning til forretningsordenen.
However, I am particularly sad to hear the President-in-Office this evening talk about speculation.
Men jeg beder Dem, hr. David, om at hjælpe mig med at få begyndt den egentlige spørgetid.
There should be no reference to speculation. It should be fact.
Når De beder mig om ordet for en bemærkning til forretningsordenen, så afviser jeg ingen og slet ikke Dem.
The only way we can establish that is by having an impact study carried out on the socioeconomic effects.
Jeg giver Dem ordet for en bemærkning til forretningsordenen, men det er en tid, som vi berøver hr. Henderson til hans uvurderlige svar.
From studies that have been carried out in my own country it has been established -not speculated upon - that tens of thousands of jobs will be lost throughout the Union, with no alternative source
Om: Hensyntagen til de europæiske befolkningers følelser i forbindelse med EU's kulturpolitik
Sweden, and now there has been a government study which emphasizes exactly what the industry's studies did previously, namely that this will have an impact on employment in my country, costing around 2 000 jobs.
Spørgsmål nr. 3 af Francisco Sanz Fernández (H0334/98):
public health in Europe.
Der er en bred kløft mellem UNESCO's og EU's vir kelighed for så vidt angår Parthenonfrisen.
Would he agree that the abolition of duty-free, which is, as he says, a longstanding deci sion, would allow both sea- and airports to resume their primary role, which is to transport people from one place to another.
Selv i Det Forenede Kon gerige er den offentlige mening overvældende positiv, hvilke kom til udtryk i en udsendelse i Kanal 4 TV den 16. april 1996, hvor 91 822 seere støttede forslaget om at levere frisen tilbage, mens kun 7 516 stemte imod.
Henderson. - I think my professor of economics would have told me that the marginal propensity to consume might be pricesensitive and that before giving an answer to that question one should conduct some surveys on whether that was the case.
Er Rådet enig i, at EU's kulturpolitik bør afspejle de europæiske befolkningers følelser?
At this time, although the Transport Council has taken a decision, no decision has been reached by the ECOFIN Council on whether or not to take this matter further.
Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Jan Bertens (H-0336/98): Om: Tilbagelevering af Parthenonfrisen
President. - Question No 13 by Jens-Peter Bonde, which has been taken over by Ulla Sandbæk (H-0275/98)
Spørgsmål nr. 9 af Joaquim Miranda (H-0360/98): Om: Problemet med Parthenonfrisen
Subject: Equal treatment for lesbians and gays
Under kulturministerkonferencen i Mexico vedtoges det med et overvældende flertal, at samtlige marmorelementer, som blev fjernet fra Parthenon på Akropolis i Athen, og som udgør en integreret del af denne enestående bygning, der er det fornemste symbol på den græske kulturarv, burde leveres tilbage.
Barton (PSE). - Just on that last point from the President-in-Office, I think he has answered the point that Ecofin ought to put to the Council of Transport Ministers: some more objective studies are needed.
Hvad er rådsformandskabets reaktion på dette?
Is the President aware that this Parliament has had a previous clash with the Council and the Commission on a similar point, when we were insisting on an objective study of safety for users of superbikes.
Vil Rådet tage initiativ til opnåelsen af en aftale om Parthenonfrisen, der også er et spørgsmål af europæisk betydning?
When we were successful, the people who were opposed to Parliament's position believed that the conclusions defied gravity and that in fact the superbikes were proved to be safer than other machines which the Commission and Council had no objection to.
Spørgsmål nr. 5 af Hélène Carrère d'Encausse (H0337/98):
In that sit uation the decision of the European Union - or European Community as it was then - was made under very differ ent procedures which did not involve co-decision.
Spørgsmål nr. 10 af Luciana Castellina (H-0361/98): Om: Genskabelsen af Parthenon
Henderson, President-in-Office of the Council. — The honourable Member who originally tabled the question and Mrs Sandbæk will be aware that the Treaty of Rome does not currently provide the Council with competence in the area of sexual orientation.
Om: Tilbageleveringen af Parthenonfrisen vil ikke skade museerne i Europa
However, the Treaty of Amsterdam will, when ratified, provide the Commission with the legal base for future action.
I forbindelse med afstemningen i UNESCO om Parthenonfrisen fremsatte den græske kulturminister Melina Mercouri følgende erklæring: »Vi beder ikke om at få alle vores skatte tilbage, det eneste vi ønsker, er de forskellige dele af vores mest ansete natinalmonument, Parthenon«.
The Council will continue to work with the Commission in bringing for ward measures that benefit all citizens of the European Union.
Er Rådet ikke enig i, at genskabelsen af Parthenon vil le være et vigtigt kulturelt og psykologisk skridt i ret ning af et forenet Europa?
In your an swer, you indicated that you would endeavour to do something.
Er Rådet enig i, at tilbageleveringen af Parthenonfrisen vil være et betydningsfuldt bevis på europæisk en hed og venskab, som ikke vil skade museerne i Euro pa?
This appears to me to be a rather non-specific choice of words.
Spørgsmål nr. 6 af Friedrich Wolf (H-0338/98):
I am curious to know exactly what you have in mind.
Henderson, formand for Rådet. - (EN) Som tidligere nævnt er jeg nødt til at gå kl. 19.00, og det vil jeg gerne gøre med Parlamentets velsignelse.
Henderson. - It is superficially attractive always to al lege that legislation which was agreed in a previous cir cumstance would not be approved were it to be before a political institution currently.
Jeg vil med glæde deltage længere tidligere på dagen ved et senere møde, hvis det kan hjælpe.
I do not dispute Mr Bar ton's observation in general.
Om: Koordinering mellem EU og UNESCO om tilbagelevering af Parthenonfrisen
But that does not mean that we can reverse all legislation which has been introduced in the past.
Findes der nogen samordning mellem EU og UNESCO om undervisning i de eksakte videnskaber og kultur og navnlig i spørgsmålet om tilbagelevering af Parthenonfrisen i overensstemmelse med UNESCO's resolution fra 1982?
It is not that long ago that a decision was reached on this but it was still seven or eight years ago and this has given outlets who benefit from dutyfree the op portunity to consider the effect on their businesses and to make alternative provisions.
Spørgsmål nr. 7 af Fernand Herman (H-0345/98):
There has been that opportunity in the past.
Parthenonfrisen er ikke et anliggende for Rådet, da De Europæiske Fællesskaber ikke har nogen kompetence inden for dette emne.
But I surely cannot be asked to predict a range of specific questions which I might wish to give an swers to.
Det er udelukkende en sag mellem Det Forenede Kongerige og Grækenland.
Therefore I cannot really help the honourable Member.
Om: Nyt Akropolis-museum til Parthenon-skulpturer-ne
Andersson (PSE). - (SV) I do not believe there is much hope that the finance ministers will change their minds.
Er Rådet ikke enigt i, at Den Europæiske Union skal støtte opførelsen af det nye Akropolis-museum i Athen, således at der bliver et passende og teknologisk optimalt sted at opbevare de Parthenon-skulptu-rer, der i øjeblikket befinder sig på British Museum?
On the other hand, it should be possible to provide what the transport ministers have requested, namely an impact analysis, partly with regard to employment and partly with regard to taxes, since the idea was that taxes should be harmonized during this period, which has not been done, and which may in turn have consequences for travel between different countries and consequences for ultraperipheral countries.
Spørgsmål nr. 8 af Alan Gillis (H-0350/98):
It should therefore be possible to pro vide this.
Ministerens svar er ganske enkelt ikke rigtigt.
This was first done in von Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I understand completely that you have difficulties in foreseeing the future.
Hvad angår det første punkt, kan vi sige ja til udgangspunktet: at EU samarbejder om gennemførelse af enhver UNESCOresolution.
Public debt is increasing by 5 % of GDP. Are working people in Greece not justified in ex pecting that the agreement between the Council and the Greek Government will act against their interests, when they hope that Greece will satisfy the convergence criteria in 1999?
Sanz Fernández (PSE). - (ES) Da jeg ikke som hr. Lomas har mulighed for at stille spørgsmål i Underhuset, er jeg nødt til at benytte denne uovertrufne lejlighed, hvor rådsformandskabet ligger i hænderne på netop den britiske regering, til at minde om, at dette er et emne, hvor Parlamentet har udtrykt sig yderst forsigtigt.
Henderson. - I say to Mr Theonas that it is a matter of judgement by the various countries within the European Union how they can best manage their economies.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg vil sige til hr. Alavanos, at jeg ikke anerkender hans argument om Rådets kompetence. Selvom jeg gjorde, har hverken den britiske eller den græske regering, så vidt jeg ved, anmodet Rådet om bistand i form af mægling.
Opposition is intensifying among workers and experts on economic affairs to the imminent introduction of the euro.
Henderson. - (EN) Igen vil jeg sige til hr. Sanz Fernández, at hvis han ønsker det, kan han kontakte den britiske regering.
The general principle is that it is in the interests of all citizens of the European Union to have a stable economic situation.
Det har han ikke mulighed for i det britiske par lament, men han har mulighed for at kontakte den britiske regering og give udtryk for sin holdning og bede den om et svar, og, som jeg sagde til hr. Lomas, hvis han gør det, er jeg sikker på, at den ansvarlige minister kan svare ham.
The Council believes that to achieve a stable economic situation there must be a stable monetary situation, and that is why many of the Member States within the European Union have tried to put their economies in a position where they can contribute to that stable monetary situation and benefit from it.
Lomas (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, vedrørende proceduren.
Has the Council looked into this matter?
Vi fik at vide, at ministeren ville besvare alle ti spørgsmål under ét. Han har kun besvaret spørgsmål nr. 1.
On the basis of which studies and communications from the Com mission - which has not notified Parliament of any relevant details?
Før jeg får mit minut, kan De så fortælle mig, om ministeren har til hensigt at besvare alle spørgsmålene ét for ét, eller om dette var svaret på alle ti?
What policy decisions will it take to relieve workers of the burden they are enduring in the name of the euro and to offset the severe repercussions which will particularly affect the weakest economies?
Formanden. - Jeg troede, hr. Lomas, at jeg som formand havde udtrykt mig helt klart.
The warning in the long term for us all is that if we have instability and monetary disunity, then the likelihood is that there will be significant inflationary consequences in the short, medium and long term.
Hr. Henderson besvarer de ti spørgsmål under ét, det vil sige, at hans første indlæg har været et svar på ti spørgsmål.
Those are consequences that an economy which is competing in a global context cannot afford, and that is why the policies of the Union are geared to achieving monetary stability.
