Endvidere gør jeg Dem opmærksom på, at Europa-Kommissionen i direktivet om det indre marked for elektricitet foreslog, at de vedvarende energikilder skulle have først adgang til nettet.
As for third countries, the subject of course comes up within the scope of the EU's external relations, but in a way which first of all is not defamatory to those countries and, secondly, helps our joint efforts with those govern ments to find ways of combating the phenomenon.
Og det er noget, vi håber, alle medlems staterne vil følge og gøre brug af.
And here we need an input from the tourism industry, which I must say has taken some very important steps in that di rection.
I henhold til undersøgelsens resultater er det ifølge et stort flertal af Europas borgere ikke kun ønskværdigt, men også nødvendigt, at Den Europæiske Union griber ind nu.
In addition to these information activities, another important event is being staged: the first European meetings of agencies involved in the fight against child sex tourism, due to take place in Brussels from 24 to 26 November as part of the Brussels Travel Fair 1998.
Undersøgelsen viser, at 88 % af de adspurgte borgere mener, at et socialt indgreb er både vigtigt og nødvendigt.
Within this tourism exhibition, the Commission will have at its disposal a substantial area in which it will present all the initiatives it has taken to com bat child sex tourism.
Gennemførelsen af alle de aktiviteter, som indgik i Kommissionens meddelelse af november 1996, er blevet fremskyndet, og Kommissionen agter i slutningen af 1998 at forelægge Europa-Parlamentet, Rådet, Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg og Regionsudvalget en rapport om gennemførelsen af alle disse aktiviteter og den fremgang, der er sket på området.
We shall also organise meetings of specialists and personalities, and six round-table discussions will be held to consider in detail all the issues and all the joint action we can take at European level in the future, both with nongovernmental organisations and with the tourist industry and the governments of the Member States.
Herudover har Europa-Kommissionen ikke mulighed for at gøre noget andet som Kommission.
We have overrun our allotted time for questions to the Com mission by ten minutes.
Spørgsmål nr. 44 af Mihail Papayannakis, overtaget af hr. Alavanos (H-0916/98):
President - Question No 45 by Gary Titley (H-0900/98)
Om: Børnesexturisme
Subject: Followup to Parliament's support for the Harrison Report on late payments
Formålet med det første er planlægning, produktion og di stribution af en video, der skal vises på flyruter til de de stinationer, hvor fænomenet er mest fremtrædende, samt oplysning og bevidstgørelse af personalet på forskellige flyruter.
I wish to ask two brief questions: firstly, as regards the countries of Eastern Asia, for example, where sex tourism is rife, very often with children as its victims, has the Commission made any approaches to Member State governments at a political level?
Ifølge resultaterne af en undersøgelse i Eurobarometer (april-maj 1998) fordømmer de europæiske borgere børnesexturisme og 88 % finder, at det er af vital betydning, at Den Europæiske Union træffer relevante foranstaltninger med henblik på at bekæmpe dette fænomen.
What action is the Commission taking to ensure that it complies with the spirit and letter of the Harrison Re port on late payments adopted in September, to make sure that small and mediumsized businesses which carry out work for the Commission are not the victims of late payment by the Commission?
Kommissæren med ansvar for turisme har er klæret, at de første reaktioner fra den europæiske of fentlige mening tilskynder Kommissionen til at træffe konkrete praktiske foranstaltninger med henblik på at bekæmpe den turisme, som er baseret på sexuel ud nyttelse af børn.
Papoutsis. - (EL) Mr President, we are in constant consultation with the Member State governments and al ready, after the European Parliament's resolution of No vember 1997, we have had a communication from the Council following the Commission's proposal of 26 No vember 1997.1 have to say that in that statement there was broad agreement between the Member States.
Fænomenet er særligt udbredt i de asiatiske lande og i Latinamerika, men også i Centralog Østeuropa, og hænger hovedsageligt sammen med fattigdom, social udstødelse og endvidere med den in ternationale handel med børn.
Now, from a practical point of view, the Commission's proposals for action against child sex tourism are focused on a limited number of aims which serve four basic needs.
Kommissionen bedes oplyse, om der findes en fælles holdning til imødegåelsen af dette problem, om de foranstaltninger, der hidtil er truffet, har haft nogen indflydelse med henblik på at udrydde dette fænomen,
First of all, to discourage and punish all those engaged in the sexual exploitation of the young.
Ud over disse oplysningsaktiviteter kommer også en særlig begivenhed, nem lig de første europæiske møder mellem instanser og organisationer, der deltager i bekæmpelsen af børnesexturisme, som finder sted i tidsrummet fra den 24. til den 26. november i Bruxelles i forbindelse med udstillingen »Brussels Travel Fare 1998«.
Papoutsis, Member of the Commission. - (EL) Mr President, the Commission did indeed have occasion to ex press its satisfaction with Mr Harrison's report on this proposal for a directive on late payment, and it will take into account most of the amendments proposed in the re port. According to the Commission's proposal, the pay ments made by Community bodies are not covered by the directive.
Inden for denne turisterhvervsudstilling vil Europa-Kommissionen få stillet plads til rådighed til præsentation afalle de initiativer, den har taget med henblik på bekæmpelse af børnesexturisme.
How*ver, the Commission will submit appropriate proposals for these payments too, aimed at estab lishing rules equivalent to those envisaged in the directive with regard to public authorities.
Endvidere vil vi arrangere møder med eksperter og specialister, og der vil blive gennemført seks rundbordssamtaler i det samme tidsrum, hvor vi kan gå i dybden med alle problemerne og alle de fælles aktioner, vi kan gen nemføre fremover på europæisk plan, både med de ikke-
In accordance with the working document on the amendment of the Financial Regulation of 22 July 1998, the Commission intends to
bedre borgernes, og især de unges, levevilkår, skabe nye arbejdspladser og på denne måde undgå, at sexturismen vokser, og bekæmpe den, hvor den findes.
Tourism, on the proposal for a Council Directive on conditions for the operation of regular roro ferry and high speed passenger craft services in the Community (COM(98)0071 - C4-0162/98-98/0064(S YN j).
Alavanos (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Hr. formand jeg vil gerne takke kommissær Papoutsis for de vigtige initiativer, han har taget, som ikke kun er erklæringer eller lignende, men går videre til praktiske foranstaltninger, hvor vanskelige de end er at gennemføre, og hvor mange forhindringer der end skal overvindes.
In parallel, the Commission has undertaken to carry out a study on its own delayed payments, the conclusions, and proposals of which will be announced before the end of the year. In the meantime, however, the relevant Commission services will make every effort to respect in practice the guidelines of the directive we have proposed.
Jeg ved ikke, om jeg tør appellere til Deres venlighed og bede om overbærenhed fra Parlamentets tjenestegrene, men hr. Gary Titley er til stede.
This Parliament resolved then that such an in cident must never happen again.
Hvad synes De? Kan vi besvare hr. Gary Titleys spørgsmål? Jeg takker Dem og Parlamentets tjenestegrene mange gange.
The Estonia tragedy was only one of many ferry disasters in the past decade.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 45 af Gary Titley (H-0900/98):
Parliament then asked the question: why were the lessons not learned?
Om: Opfølgning af Parlamentets vedtagelse af Harri-son-betænkningen om overskridelse af betalingsfrister ster
Companies are constantly complaining to me and I know they complained to the Commissioner when he was kind enough to come to my constituency.
Hr. Papoutsis, jeg beder Dem besvare hr. Titleys spørgsmål. mål.
Papoutsis. - (EL) Mr President, I accept that the Com mission has indeed been slow in some cases, and I under stand that there are some justified complaints from some companies, and possibly some in Mr Titley's constituency.
Papoutsis. - (EL) Hr. formand, vi er i permanente for handlinger med medlemsstaternes regeringer, og allerede efter Europa-Parlamentets beslutning af november 1997 kom Rådets erklæring, på grundlag af Kommissionens forslag, af 26. november 1997.
Yet I must say, and I must insist on this, that the Commission makes every possible effort in procedural terms, because sometimes we receive erroneous invoices and it takes time to establish if the invoices are correct or not.
Jeg må gøre opmærksom på, at denne meddelelse indeholdt en bred aftale med lemsstaterne imellem.
In arty event, the Commission makes every effort to respect the framework proposed by the directive and to · comply with it in practice.
Hvad den praktiske side angår, er Kommissionens forslag til aktion mod børnesexturisme koncentreret om et begrænset antal mål, der svarer til fire grundlæggende nødvendigheder:
Beyond that, however, and I wish to stress this point, in July 1997 the Commission ap proved the principle of paying interest in cases of late payment, to compensate the beneficiary for the delay.
For det første, at alle, der misbruger mindreårige seksuelt, straffes og hindres i yderligere misbrug.
So far as we know, no other international organisation pays interest in cases of late payment.
For det andet, at strømmen af sexturister fra med lemslandene til tredjelande standses.
In addition, in future, black box voyage data recorders will become compulsory.
For det fjerde, at EU-medlemsstaterne opfordres til at indtage en fælles holdning til børnesexturisme.
(The sitting was suspended at 7.18 p.m. and resumed at 9 p.m.)
Papoutsis, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EL) Hr. for mand, Kommissionen udtrykte sin tilfredshed med Harrison-betænkningen vedrørende direktivet om overskridelser af betalingsfrister og vil tage flertallet af de ændringer, der foreslås i betænkningen, i betragtning. Ifølge Kom missionens forslag er betalinger fra fællesskabsinstitutioner ikke omfattet af direktivet. Kommissionen vil imidlertid stille relevante forslag, der også vedrører disse betalinger, for at få regler, der svarer til direktivets regler gældende for offentlige myndigheder. I henhold til arbejdsdokumentet om ændring af finansforordningen af 22. juli 1998 har Kommissionen i sinde at gennemføre en harmonisering af de gældende bestemmelser for betalinger, så samtlige fællesskabsinstitutioner anvender de samme modeller, som er fastlagt i forslaget til direktiv.
As rapporteur, I fully endorse these measures, not least because many ferries are still, despite recent tragic events, simply not safe enough.
Samtidig har Kommissionen iværksat en undersøgelse af institutionens egne overskridelser af betalingsfrister, og resultaterne og forslagene i denne forbindelse vil blive of fentliggjort inden årets udgang.
We must, therefore, secure the speedy adoption of this proposal and ensure that it is fully enforced throughout the Community.
Vil han ikke acceptere, at dette er politisk uanbringeligt, medmindre Kommissionen gør noget ved det?
President - The next item is the report (A4-0310/98) by Mr Watts, on behalf of the Committee On Transport and
Og her har vi også brug for turistindustriens hjælp, en branche, som bestemt har taget vigtige initiativer i denne retning.
Although we fully support this measure, we wish to see it simplified and strengthened in a number of important ways.
Det, vi under alle omstændigheder må fastholde, og det skal ske med turistindustriens hjælp og i et samar bejde mellem de 15 medlemslande og tredjelandenes regeringer, især de lande, hvor fænomenet er mest udbredt, er den fælles indsats for at skabe en moral for turistbranchen og samtidig finde måder, hvormed vi med økonomisk bistand kan bidrage til den økonomiske vækst, for
Firstly, we believe all ferries - old and new -should be fitted with black boxes within five years, closing the loophole in Article 5 which would allow exemptions from compliance in perpetuity. Secondly, we be lieve that the results of the safety surveys communicated to the Commission under the terms of this directive,
Faktisk har vi takket være kommissær Neil Kinnocks beslutsomhed været vidende til en række foranstaltninger med henblik på at tage ved lære og bruge den viden.
Thirdly, within 12 months of the entry into force of this proposal, a thor ough assessment should be made to determine whether enough has been done or whether further measures are re quired.
For det første er den internationale kodeks for sikkerhed til søs blevet obligatorisk for at sikre, at ledelsen, skibsføreren, officererne og besætningen sætter sikkerheden i høj sædet.
At this time - unfortunately, it might be said - a book is coming out in Denmark which deals with the Estonia ac cident.
For det tredje undersøges problemerne med stabiliteten på ro-ro-færger som følge af Stockholm-aftalen, når den træder i kraft.
I hope that this directive, but not least the implementation of the directive, will help to strengthen, the common legislation and guarantee safety in the future.
betalingsfrister, og jeg forstår, at der er kommet berettigede klager fra visse virksomheder, sandsynligvis også nogle fra hr. Titleys valgkreds.
As a further guarantee of ferry safety, we believe an an nual safety report should be produced.
Desuden, og det vil jeg gerne understrege, ved tog Kommissionen i juli 1997 princippet om betaling af renter i tilfælde af overskridelse af betalingsfrister, så den forurettede part får kompensation for overskridelsen.
These three amend ments reflect our determination to make ferries safer, to guarantee that ferry safety remains at the top of our agenda and, indeed, to enlist the support of thecitizen and passenger in ensuring that these high safety standards are met.
Så vidt vi er bekendt, betaler ingen anden international organisation renter i tilfælde af overskridelser.
I hope that the Commission tonight can agree with these measures.
Vi har i dag den seneste og mest ambitiøse foranstaltning så vidt under overvejelse.
Finally, I have to mention one or two Danish problems in connection with this directive.
For fremtiden skal medlemsstaterne give tilladelse til driften af samtlige færger og højhastighedsfartøjer, der opererer i EU, uanset hvilket land fartøjet er registreret i.
They relate to Amend ments Nos 2, 15, 16 and 17, since it is debatable to what extent the Commission should have the power to act.
Rederierne kan med andre ord ikke længere unddrage sig internationale sikkerhedsbestemmelser ved at sejle under bekvemmelighedsflag.
It could be the next question to investigate, when we have all the statistical information.
Desuden bliver de sorte bokse (VDR) obligatoriske i fremtiden.
I also have a number of questions for the Commissioner.
Medlemsstaterne kan fremover ikke nægtes retten til at undersøge maritime ulykker.
Thirdly, given the reported failure of both black boxes in the final minutes of the Swiss air flight that recently crashed off the coast of Canada, will the Commission en sure that the black boxes in all ferries are fitted with auxiliary power supplies?
Mine damer og herrer, jeg kan meddele Dem, at spørgsmål 46-48 besvares skriftligt. (')
On the matter itself, however, we entirely agree with him.
Hermed er spørgetiden til Kommissionen er afsluttet.
Mòre than 2000 of our fellow men have lost their life in ferry accidents in the past years.
(Mødet udsat kl. 19.18 og genoptaget kl. 21.00)
Finally, I wish to thank all my colleagues and our staff.
FORSÆDE: Jean-Pierre COT Næstformand
Together, we are determined to prevent another ferry dis aster.
I en nylig undersøgelse, der blev finansieret af Kommissionen, konkluderes det, at på næsten en ud af tre undersøgte færger var der alvorlige brud på sikkerheden. Disse inkluderede brandhaner, der var rustet fast, defekte redningsveste, defekte motorer på redningsbåde og låste nødudgange.
Unfortunately, Mr Watts, the ADAC study this year showed up considerable safety defects even in countries flying Member State flags.
Vi er derfor nødt til at sikre hurtig vedtagelse af dette forslag og sikre, at det håndhæves fuldt ud i hele Fællesskabet.
Like Mr Watts and his colleagues, we maintain that the Commission proposals for roro ferry operating conditions must be tightened up further.
For det første mener vi, at alle færger - nye som gamle - bør udstyres med en sort boks inden for fem år, hvilket lukker smuthullet i artikel 5, der i al fremtid ville tillade undtagelser fra overholdelse af bestemmmelser.
We entirely agree that passenger ferries must be fitted with a voyage data recorder, which must also be equipped with its own battery, as also on the need for strict compliance with the transitional provisions that have applied hitherto.
For det tredje bør der inden for 12 måneder efter forslagets ikrafttræden foretages en gennemgribende vurdering for at afgøre, hvorvidt der er gjort nok, eller hvorvidt yderligere foranstaltninger er påkrævet.
Passenger safety must be the same for every body, as must accident investigation, regardless of the age of the vessel or the Member State in which it is registered.
Watts (PSE), ordfører. - (EN) Hr. formand, for kun lidt over fire år siden i september 1994 sank ro-ro-passagerfærgen Estonia i Østersøen, hvor over 900 mennesker omkom.
Sindal (PSE). - (DA) Mr President, in an election year such as this, people often ask us: what do you actually do in the European Parliament?
Parlamentet besluttede dengang, at en sådan ulykke aldrig må ske igen. Estonia - tragedien var blot en af mange færgekatastrofer i det forløbne årti.
I am always happy to tell them that we in Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism have worked unremittingly, in Strasbourg and Brussels, to improve safety in all forms of transport.
Jeg kan nævne andre, herunder The Herald of Free Enterprise til bage i 1987, eller endog den mere nylige Scandinavian Star.
Tran snational, cross-frontier traffic must be made safe through obligations imposed on a common basis.
Som en yderligere garanti for færgesikkerheden mener vi, at der bør udarbejdes .en årsberetning om sikkerheden.
Our commit ment to ferry safety, in particular, is well known, which is reflected in the report we are discussing today.
Alle disse oplysninger skal gøres offentligt tilgængelige.
The figures - over 140 million passengers spread over 500 ferries - speak for themselves.
Jeg håber, at Kommissionen i aften kan erklære sig enig i disse foranstaltninger.
I do not mind saying that I myself make 200 sea crossings a year, so I know the ferries.
Parlamentet stillede dengang spørgsmålet: Hvorfor tog man ikke ved lære?
It is quite funny when you think of it that, when international rules drawn up by the IMO are to be enforced, we have to transpose them into a directive.
Hvorfor tog man ikke ved lære af tabet af The Herald! Hvorfor blev der stort set intet gjort?
After all, they should ap ply throughout the world.
Jeg har desuden en række spørgsmål til kommissæren.
Critics of this directive will no doubt try to find new ways.
For det første, som følge af at der satses på, at medlems-
Ferries will be moved outside the EU and so forth.
Jarzembowski (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, kære kolleger, PPE-gruppen støtter Watts-betænkningen helt og fuldt bortset fra to mindre punkter, nemlig ændringsforslag 9 og 14.
It is certainly also right to accept safety standards in the form that applies during the checks and not as they apply when this directive is adopted, since I believe we will still have to tighten up some areas.
Jeg mener, de er lidt for vidtgående, men hr. Watts er jo perfektionist! Sagligt er vi imidlertid helt enige med ham.
In conclusion, let me draw your attention to a point we keep raising, and I am keen to hear the Commission's reply to the other questions put by.
De seneste års færgeulykker har kostet flere end 2.000 af vore medborgere livet.
I believe quite a lot remains to be done here and I am eager to know whether the Commissioner can say a few words on this.
staterne gennemfører de nye sikkerhedsregler, hvilke res sourcer bliver da gjort tilgængelige for at sikre overholdelse af bestemmelserne i hele Fællesskabet?
Implementation must take place in ways which the Euro pean Union itself sometimes does not allow to proceed.
For det an det, hvornår planlægger Kommissionen at gennemgå Stockholm-aftalen for at sikre, at standarderne for færge sikkerheden holder trit med den seneste teknologiske ud vikling?
Given this opportunity, perhaps I ought to mention that we were very concerned indeed about the fact that, in an other directive on the safety of passenger craft, which re quires the refitting of vessels which will be 27 years old in October 2000, Greek vessels are being exempted.
For det tredje, som følge af den rapporterede sorte boks' svigten i de sidste minutter i det schweiziske fly, der for nylig forulykkede ud for den canadiske kyst, vil Kommissionen da sikre, at den sorte boks i samtlige færger udstyres med nødstrømsforsyning?
As a Greek MEP, I would like to say that we cannot in any way accept this exemption, which might have been acceptable for economic or social reasons in other sectors such as textile factories or shoe manufacturing, for example, but which is not acceptable when it comes to the safety of passenger vessels, when Greek ships can be temporarily exempted from refitting, but at the same time the ships thus exempted will not be allowed to sail into European ports, thereby in effect making our country a banana re public.
Desværre har, hr. Watts, en beretning fra ADAC i år vist, at der også i de stater, som er blandt Fællesskabets flag stater, stadig er betydelige sikkerhedsmangler. Hr. kom missær, De ved, hvad jeg mener.
Teverson (ELDR). - Mr President, we certainly welcome this further legislation, which is absolutely essential for the safety of passengers for whom this is one of the main forms of travel between Member States.
Vi skal sørge for, at alle færger i Fællesskabet, som sejler under europæisk flag, opfylder sikkerhedsstandarderne.
There are a number of areas that are important about this particular report such as the fact that we have included high-speed passenger craft.
Vi kræver nøjagtig som hr. Watts og hans kolleger, at kommissionsforslagene om betingelserne for at drive ro-ro-færger skærpes yderligere. gere.
Now there is increasing competition be tween roro ferries and this type of transport we need to make sure that there is an equal emphasis on both these forms.
Afslutningsvis vil jeg gerne takke alle mine kolleger og vores personale.
They showed once again that high priority needs to be given to maritime safety.
Dette forslag, vores ændringsforslag, og hvis de gennemføres ordentligt, vil sikre, at de 141 millioner passagerer, der hvert år rejser med færge i de europæiske farvande, vil nå sikkert frem.
The recent ADAC survey of the seaworthiness of a number of car and pässenger ferries showed that thé safety of a number of European vessels leaves much to be desired. So I am very much in favour of the Commission's legislative proposal and I endorse most of the rapporteur's amendments -1 compliment him on his report.
Den er vi hoppet på for ofte.
I want to comment, in particular on enforcement.
Vi skal sørge for, at vi når frem til, at værtsstaterne får et ef fektivt obligatorisk overvågningssystem, det vil sige de stater, hvis havne anløbes, og hvis borgere normalt benytter skibene.
This has been mentioned by the EPP group and concerns me in a number of areas of legislation/Europe is moving ahead quite rightly with its legislation for safety on roro ferries which is a form of transport that is both theoretically and, as we have seen, practically potentially a very unstable form of craft.
