Udvalget for tilsyn med undervisningsprogrammet har i juni 1994 for første, og den eneste, gang holdt møde, og under dette møde er der ikke givet meddelelse om problemerne i forbindelse med finansieringen af de foranstaltninger, som erhvervsuddannelsesinstutionerne har truffet.
As we all know, there is little experience of awarding contracts for the type of projects we are talking about here, but this is also something that we are discussing with the Greek authorities at the moment.
Spiers (PSE). - (EN) Må jeg have lov til at sige, at jeg synes, at kommissæren skulle forsøge at give et klarere svar på de spørgsmål, hr. Kerr har rejst, for det så ud til, at han læste et færdigt svar på et andet spørgsmål.
I think we can expect things to become clearer fairly soon, particularly as both the Greek Government and the Commission regard these priority projects as immensely important in terms of employment in Greece.
Det forekommer mig således noget van skeligt at foregribe dette på nuværende tidspunkt.
President. - As the authors are not present, Questions Nos 53 to 55 lapse.
Lage (PSE). - (PT) Hr. kommissær, Deres svar var yderst oplysende.
President. - Question No 52 by Panayotis Lambrias (H-0705/94)

Subject: Delay in starting Greek CSF projects
Spørgsmål nr. 47 af Lage (H-0661/94):
Question No 56 by Lyndon Harrison (H-0651/94) Subject: Unleaded petrol
Om: EU-finansiering af erhvervsuddannelsesinstitutioner i Portugal
It is generally agreed that there is a delay in implementing the plan submitted by the Greek Govern ment for the Rion-Andirrion link, which is very important for Greece. What are the reasons for this delay?
Der er i Portugal 60 fungerende erhvervsuddannelse sinstitutioner, der finansieres af Den Europæiske Socialfond.
In view of the recent evidence of the link between petrol with a high aromatic content and leukaemia, has the Commission used its powers under Article 15.2(c) of Directive 85/210/EEC (') to request the UK or any other Member State to provide information on the effects of the reduction in the lead content of petrol and the introduction of unleaded petrol on the developments of air concentrations of benzene and other aromatics?
Disse skoler har i adskillige måneder ikke modtaget nogen finansiering, lærerne har ikke fået løn, og nogle af disse skoler er allerede blevet lammet.
In addition, the Rion-Andirrion fixed link forms part of Project No 7 on the Christophersen group's list of top priority projects with which you are all familiar.
Van den Broek. - (NL) Jeg har ikke forstået, hvorfor der er et tillægsspørgsmål.
Bangemann, Member of the Commission. - (DE) We are aware of the reports indicating that there is a causal link between the high aromatic content of petrol and the occurrence of leukaemia.
Jeg kan lige føje til mit svar i første instans, at Kommissionen behandler alle anmodninger om betaling hurtigst muligt, og at de portugisiske myndigheder den 6. december i år har meddelt udvalget for tilsyn med fællesskabsstøtterammen, at institutio nerne havde modtaget et forskud på 20%, da de anmode de om finansiering for 1994, og hermed er der i hvert fald sørget for nogen finansiering, medens kontrollen med betalingsanmodningerne finder sted.
We are currently studying information on these possible links. We also know that the UK's Royal Commission on the Environment, in its latest report on traffic and the environment, has expressed concern about the fact that high-octane unleaded petrol in the United Kingdom evidently contains high levels of aromatics, including benzene.
Med hensyn til de betalinger, som skal foretages i forbindelse med den første fællesskabsstøtteramme, har man meddelt Kom missionen, at medlemsstaten i afventning af fællesskabs midlerne har sørget for forfinansiering af institutionerne, det ser således i hvert fald ud til, at der dermed er fundet en løsning for de værste flaskehalse.
We have asked the British authorities for further information on this matter, and we shall be taking this information into account in our own work on the subject.
Der hersker i Portugal stor forvirring og tvivl med hensyn til de virkelige årsager til denne situation, og offentligheden spørger sig selv om, hvorvidt regeringen eller Den Europæiske Union bærer ansvaret.
Harrison (PSE). - Could I ask Mr Bangemann, firstly, why the Commission has not asked the United Kingdom Government and, indeed, other Member State govern ments beforehand for this information, because it was dictated by the earlier agreements that such information should be gathered by the Commission.
Vil Kommissionen definitivt redegøre for denne problemstilling?
Furthermore, the Commission has not yet received a detailed proposal from the Greek authorities, and there are still questions about certain aspects of government contracts which are currently being discussed with them.
McMahon (PSE). - (EN) Kan kommissæren fortælle os, hvor stor underudnyttelsen er af de 737 mio ECU under mål nr. 1, som blev indberettet til Parlamentet i oktober i år og førte til overførsel af bevillinger vedtaget af Budgetudvalget, der drejer sig om ordningerne i Portugal? gal?
In actual fact, all the questions raised about the CSFs for Greece are to do with changing procedures and gaining experience with awarding contracts, and these are being discussed with the Greek authorities. But as I have already said, honourable Members can rest assured that the Commission and, I am sure, the Greek authorities are treating these projects very seriously indeed.
Van den Broek. - (NL) Dette spørgsmål kan jeg ikke uden videre besvare uforberedt, men jeg er gerne rede til at give et skriftligt svar herpå.
Secondly, could I ask Mr Bangemann when they expect to receive that information from the United Kingdom Government?
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 48 af Kestelijn-Sierens (H-0667/94):
Lambrias (PPE). - (EL) I thank the Commissioner.
Om: Forsinket godkendelse af fællesskabsstøtterammerne for uddannelses- og beskæftigelsesprojekter, der modtager støtte fra ESF under mål nr. 3
Do these delays not compel the Commission to exert pressure in areas where, as the Commissioner's answers have shown, delays, withdrawals, or the lack or inappropriateness of technical studies have created problems at a time when dynamism and speed are needed in the implementation of projects?
Van den Broek, medlem af Kommissionen. - (NL) Den Europæiske Socialfond sørger inden for rammerne af to særskilte operationelle programmer for medfinansiering af kurser ved de portugisiske erhvervsuddannelsesinstitutioner.
Thirdly, could I ask the Commission whether it believes that 98 octane unleaded petrol, in so far as it is a carcinogen, currently represents a greater threat to human life than leaded petrol, which rots children's brains?
Inden for rammerne af Prodep-programmet er der allerede betalt 89% af de 322 mio ECU, som er stillet til rådighed for dette program, og de resterende 11% vil blive udbetalt, så snart den pågældende med lemsstat indgiver den sidste betalingsanmodning for 1993, og så snart sidstnævnte er behørigt kontrolleret af Kommissionens tjenestegrene.
Both things are undesirable, but until we arrive at a state where all cars are properly fitted with catalytic converters, very great anxiety, as Mr Bangemann has recognized, has arisen as a result of the Royal Commission report and indeed the House of Commons further report, that 98 octane unleaded petrol might actually represent a greater threat than leaded petrol.
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen at træffe i betragtning af, at godkendelsen af fællesskabs-
But what is also needed to reform the whole procedure for awarding contracts is new legisla tion, and this will have to go through the normal legisla
Til sidst vil jeg gøre opmærksom på, at denne usikkerhed uden tvivl i de seneste måneder har haft en ugunstig indvirkning på gennemførelsen af disse projekter.
new hazard. That does not mean that we want to re­introduce leaded petrol, because that in itself is a hazard, so the measures can only take into account the new hazards without, of course, doing away with the present regulations to reduce the known hazards of leaded petrol.
støtterammerne for 1994-1999 er mere end forsinket, for at undgå, at kontinuiteten i uddannelses- og beskæftigelsesprojekterne, som i Belgien modtager støtte fra ESF, bringes i fare?
Bangemann. - In fact there may be two different cases. One is where imported products do not comply with the legal provisions that we have established.
Hvorledes agter den endvidere at fjerne usikkerheden både for de langtidsledige, som følger en uddannelse inden for rammer ne heraf, og for de medarbejdere uden for de pågældende projekter, som allerede har måttet afskediges?
In such cases, to ensure that our legislation is genuinely implemented it is really a question of ensuring that the national control procedure functions effectively. In these cases we can, of course, ask Member States to ensure that the procedure is carried out properly.
Van den Broek. - (NL) Vi deler selvfølgelig det ærede medlems bekymring og gør alt muligt for at løse disse problemer.
As the honourable Member knows, there is also a programme under way in the industry which seeks to eliminate the other hazards associated with petrol in cars and we shall also take account of these new findings in that programme.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 49 af Hatzidakis (H-0675/ 94):
President. - Question No 57 by Caroline Jackson (H0652/94)
Om: Gennemskuelighed og fremskridt med udførelsen af arbejder i Grækenland under den anden fælles skabsstøtteramme
Subject: Application of EC cosmetics directive
For så vidt angår Belgien, er fællesskabsstøtterammerne godkendt den 4. november 1994.
So we have to distinguish between the two types of case.
Under forhandlingerne har Kommissionen foreslået nye prioriterede tyngdepunkter, idet den i den forbindelse tager hensyn til den nye forordnings øgede fleksibilitet og til nogle anbefalinger i hvidbogen vedrørende vækst, konkurrenceevne og beskæftigelse, hvilket nok er Dem bekendt.
Are there any EC standards for cosmetics of the body deodorant type and, if so, is the Commission confi­dent that deodorants marketed as 'deodorant stone' and imported into the European Union from Thailand currently comply with such standards?
Medierne i Grækenland har i de sidste måneder oftere og oftere omtalt forsinkelse i udførelsen af infrastrukturarbejder, som finansieres af den anden fællesskabsstøtteramme.
Bangemann, Member of the Commission. - (DE) Direc­tive Ί6Π68 on cosmetics applies essentially to sub­stances and not to categories of finished products.
Samtidig kommer tids punktet for drøftelserne om gennemskuelighed af systemet for overdragelse og udførelse af offentlige arbejder stadig nærmere, skønt der har været gentagne rådslagninger om dette mellem Kommissionen og den græske regering.
The annexes to the directive contain a list of prohibited substances and a list of substances that are permitted subject to certain conditions. Substances not listed there­in are in principle permitted, with the exception of three groups of substances which might possibly present a risk to human health.
På baggrund af alle de rygter, der findes i Grækenland om dette for landet så vigtige spørgsmål, bedes Kommissionen oplyse: Hvad er problemerne i forbindelse med gennemskueligheden af systemet for overdragelse og udførelse af offentlige arbejder i Grækenland?
These are colours, preservatives and UV filters, the use of which is restricted to the substances listed in the annexes to the directive.
Hvad må der gøres, for at udførelsen af arbejder under den anden fællesskabs støtteramme kan forløbe uden forsinkelser?
The mie described above applies to all cosmetics including deodorants, regardless of whether they are manufactured in the European Union or imported.
Van den Broek, medlem af Kommissionen. - (NL) Et af problemerne ved procedurerne for overdragelse og udførelse af offentlige arbejder i det tilfælde, som hr. Hatzidakis spørger om, var den dårlige kvalitet af mange tekniske undersøgelser, hvorpå de pågældende myndigheder havde baseret de offentlige udbud.
It is the responsibility of Member States to take all necessary measures to ensure that cosmetics are placed on the market only if they comply with this mie and with the provisions of the cosmetics directive.
Det har ført til, at udgifterne er overskredet betydeligt af kontrahenterne, og at man er kommet bagefter med gennemførelsen.
Member States are responsible for the inspection of products placed on the market.
Desuden har kontrahenterne ofte afgivet urealistisk lave tilbud.
We have not so far been aware of any special problems with deodorants from Thailand.
Kestelijn-Sierens (ELDR). - (NL) Jeg takker kommissæren for hans svar.
Jackson (PPE). - I thank the Comissioner for his reply.
Jeg håber, at den i fremtiden vil gøre alt for at undgå, at de af ESF støttede projekter skal afbrydes unødigt som følge af en ændring af lovgivningsrammerne.
The question has arisen because of some evidence of skin complaints caused by products of this type in North America.
Jeg ved, hr. kommissær, at problemet i Belgien er komplekst.
This is in connection with imported products from Thailand.
Ikke desto mindre vil jeg alligevel understrege, at der på grund af udeblivelsen af den nødvendige godkendelse af fællesskabsstøtterammer og på grund af en manglende overgangsordning herskede stor usikkerhed med hensyn til de løbende uddannelsesog beskæftigelsesprojekter.
I wonder whether the Commission would agree that there is a case for Directorate-General III checking up to see with national administrations how the implementation of the basic cosmetics directive of 1976 is actually working at the moment.
Det gælder i særdeleshed for spørgsmålet, om hundreder af arbejdspladser vil fortsætte
I understand from Mr Bangemann that the question of local implementation is a matter for national enforcement authorities.
I betragtning af omfanget af denne reform er det normalt, at der vil opstå nogen forsinkelse ved starten af nye projekter.
1 ) Annex to the Verbatim Report of Proceedings for the sitting of 4 May 1994
Hatzidakis (PPE). - (EL) Jeg vil gerne takke kommissæren for hans svar, som imidlertid bekræfter, hvad jeg også nævner i mit spørgsmål, nemlig at der er problemer med udførelsen af offentlige arbejder i Grækenland, og at der er forsinkelser i forbindelse med projekterne under den anden fællesskabsstøtteramme.
White (PSE). - I thank the Commissioner for his bold attempt to respond to the fourth question by me, as he rightly points out.
Og her må jeg gøre opmærksom på, at vi ikke havde disse problemer i forbindelse med den første fællesskabsstøtteramme, dvs. i perioden fra 1990 til 1993.
I know perfectly well that the Commission will deny that it interferes with any national definition of regions.
Vi har kun haft problemer med den anden fællesskabsstøtteramme.
That was not the point that I wanted cleared up.
Anastassopoulos (PPE). - (EL) Synes kommissæren ikke, at det generelle og uklare svar, han gav mig, indeholder visse modsigelser?
you and you will see what the reasoning of my colleague was. '...since regionalism as such does not exist in England but planning regions, however, for planning reasons are recognized by many organizations.
Kan han præcisere, hvilke spørgsmål det er, der stadig drøftes mellem de græske myndigheder og Kommissionen.
As a useful point of reference it was these planning regions which were used by the Commission to determine the boundaries of its efforts to focus the impact of the Union's policies and programmes.
Kan han præcisere, hvor længe endnu man regner med, at forsinkelsen og forhandlingerne vil trække ud, inden udførelsen af dette vigtige projekt kan begynde og dets europæiske finansiering sikres?
This resulted in Devon and Cornwall, which are recognized as counties with a fairly distinctive relationship with continental Europe, forming one part and the remaining counties the other'.
Den nye lov siger intet om undersøgelser.
By the way it is the old question of smuggling.
Men på den anden side, trods den nye lov, er den store nedgang i licitationer, som kommissæren også nævnte, fortsat, dette kan jeg bekræfte.
Smugglers were the link with continental Europe and this is a traditional reason for dealing with these counties in a different way.
Det har således medført, at der blev indledt forhandlinger med Kommissionen derom, og herom føres disse samtaler i øjeblikket.
Therefore, what I have asked you in that question is according to what criterion any parties consulted have been consulted.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 51 af Dimitrakopoulos (H-0703/94):
Jackson (PPE). - Well, Commissioner, I come from Penzance which is the last town in England before you get to the coast of Nova Scotia and I can tell you we do not think of smuggling as being smuggling, we think of it as being crossborder trade.
På baggrund heraf vil jeg derfor spørge kommissæren: Kan Kommissionen garantere den græske befolkning, der med rette er bekymret over alle de ting, jeg nævner i mit spørgsmål, at der vil være fremskridt og gennem skuelighed i forbindelse med udførelsen af offentlige arbejder i Grækenland?
Ifall the Commission office in London did was to write a leaflet based on its own knowledge, then it would be much better for the Commission here today represented to come out and say that, and I would be happy. Otherwise, I shall carry on asking this question.
Om: Selvfinansiering af projekter under fællesskabs støtterammen for Grækenland
Why was it that the London Office of the Commission produced a publication which in itself is excellent and contains very good information, but which succeeded in neither mentioning the fact that there were MEPs, still less the names of the MEPs for the West of England, nor indeed giving its own address in London?
Hvad agter Kommissionen at foretage sig for at stille de nødvendige midler til rådighed for gennemførelse af projekterne under fællesskabsstøtterammen?
If you read the letter you will be pleased, because the Commission considers that unlike other regions in Great Britain, Devon and Cornwall are very close to the continental European thinking.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 50 af Anastassopoulos (H-0702/94):
President. - Question No 60 by Poul Schlüter, which has been taken over by Mrs Jackson (H-0659/94)
Om: Forsinket påbegyndelse af projekter under fællesskabsskabsstøtterammen for Grækenland
Subject: Anti-competitive State aid
Hvorfor har Kommissionen endnu ikke givet den græske regering sit tilsagn om finansiering og påbegyndelse af projektet i forbindelse med bygningen af den i internationale lufthavn i Spata?
Howitt (PSE). - Whilst I appreciate the answer to the question, there seems to be a yawning chasm between the Commission's view of regions in Britain and the experience of those of us who represent regions within Britain.
Hvad er den nuværende situation med hensyn til dette projekt?
Will not the Commission understand that in south-east England, just as much as in the South West, the information at his disposal is rather flawed.
Hvornår forventes procedurerne at være afsluttet, så dette vigtige projekt kan gennemføres?
The region that I represent has higher-than-average unemployment now in the UK, and lower-than-average income in the European Union as a whole.
Van den Broek, medlem af Kommissionen. - (NL) Fællesskabsstøtterammen for Grækenland for perioden 1994/1999 indeholder forskellige programmer, inden for rammerne af hvilke der investeres i infrastrukturfaciliteter med selvfinansiering, det vil sige med bidrag fra privat kapital.
Bangemann, Member of the Commission. - (DE) I knew it was going to be an evening between Caroline and myself.
De finansielle midler fra Fællesskabet, som skal ydes hertil, er anført i fællesskabsstøtterammen og de inden for disse rammer opstillede operationelle programmer.
Will the Commissioner accept that there are difficulties, in the information he is using, in reflecting what is happening in our region?
Ved hjælp af resultaterne af de pågældende undersøgelser af gennemførligheden og finansielle og tekniske aspekter vil de græske myndigheder kunne beslutte, hvilke ordninger der præcis skal træffes for disse forskellige projekter.
Will he accept that one of the reasons for that is the lack of regional government in Britain?
Kommissionen er gerne rede til om nødvendigt at bistå de græske myndigheder deri og arbejder meget snævert sammen med dem med hensyn til de af Det Europæiske Råd fastsatte prioriterede projekter for det transeuropæiske net i Grækenland, som jeg ved besvarelsen af det forrige spørgsmål også fremsatte en bemærkning om.
Will he be on the side of the angels, and say that it would help the European Union if that was developed in the South East of England?
Van den Broek, medlem af Kommissionen. - (NL) Det er op til de græske myndigheder at beslutte, hvordan de vil gennemføre og finansiere det pågældende projekt, som der her spørges om.
On 12 October, the Commission authorized capital injections to Bull, amounting to FF 11 100 million.
Kommissionen vil indtage sin holdning til eventuel støtte fra Fællesskabet, når og så snart der indgives en anmodning.
These capital injections included aid for the restructuring of the company.
Projektet betragtes som et projekt af fællesskabsinteresse i henhold til forslaget om en beslutning truffet af Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet om kommunautære retningslinjer for udviklingen af et transeuropæisk transportnet.
The Commission satisfied itself that the restructuring aid was granted in accordance with the recent ly adopted guidelines for the granting of aid for the restructuring of companies in financial difficulties.
Dimitrakopoulos (PPE). - (EL) Jeg vil gerne takke kommissæren for hans svar.
Bangemann. -1 happen to have spent a very pleasant five weeks holiday in Cornwall so maybe the best thing would be for me to read the section of the letter I mentioned to
Mit spørgsmål er, om Kommissionen er klar over dette og agter at gribe ind på den ene eller anden måde for at rette op på forholdene.
Perhaps this is an area which could be looked at again.
Forpligter disse forsinkelser ikke Kommissionen til at lægge et pres inden for de områder, hvor forsinkelserne eller løftebruddene eller de manglende eller uegnede undersøgelser - som det også fremgik af kommissærens svar - skaber problemer, og det på et tidspunkt hvor en dynamisk og hurtig udførelse af projekterne er nødvendig?
profitability of Bull is restored by the aid, and that the aid does not cause any unreasonable distortions of competi tion, is not being used to expand production capacity and finally is in proportion to the costs and the benefits of the restructuring and is limited to the minimum amount that is necessary for that restructuring.
Van den Broek. - (NL) Kommissionen er gerne rede til at rådgive de græske myndigheder på dette punkt, men den endelige beslutning forekommer mig at ligge hos de græske myndigheder selv.
Bangemann. - The Commission is not influenced by any presidency.
Det er generelt kendt, at der stadig er ringe erfaring med at yde koncessioner til disse projekter, som det faktisk drejer sig om her.
We like effective presidencies, and the Ger man presidency has been effective.
Men også det er en situation, hvorom der i øjeblikket finder drøftelser sted med de græske myndigheder.
We have no doubt that the French presidency will be effective too.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 52 af Lambrias (H-0705/ 94):
But that is not our criterion.
Om: Forsinkelse i iværksættelsen af projekter omfattet af fællesskabsstøtterammen i Grækenland
Our criterion in all these cases, which includes Air France as well as all other state-owned enterprises, is very simple: we look at such cases as if we were dealing with a fictional private owner.
Van den Broek. - (NL) Hvor der anmodes om det, kan det naturligvis overvejes, om teknisk støtte er til rådighed, og den gode vilje dertil er bestemt til stede.
According to the White Paper on Growth, Competitivity and Employment, there can be no doubt that the main taining and developing of an 'information society' is of fundamental importance not only to the Community but also to the European Economic Area.
