Mine damer og herrer, efter dette behageüge og tiltalende indlæg i forretningsordenen, minder jeg hr. Wohlfart om, at jeg havde sagt til ham, at vi havde to supplerende spørgsmål. Det andet kommer fra hr. Wibe, som har et minut, da han ikke har fødselsdag i dag, og jeg derfor ikke kan forære ham mere tid.
Wohlfart. - (FR) I must admit, this is a question to which I would not wish to give a wrong answer.
I øvrigt indeholder direktivet ikke nogen bestemmelse, der anbefaler, at radioaktivt affald blandes med andet affald for at sænke radioaktivitetsniveauet med henblik på at overholde normerne.
In more general terms, the Council specified in the resolution adopted on 19 December 1994 relating to radioactive waste management, that it believed that it was the responsibility of every Member State to see to it that radioactive waste produced on its territory was managed in an appropriate fashion.
Wibe (PSE). ­ (SV) Jeg vil egentlig udtrykke min enighed i den skepsis til den nuværende politik, som blev fremført af von Habsburg.
Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL). - (SV) I have two supplementary questions.
Man har længe taget for givet, at de frygtelige massakrer i Algeriet er blevet udført af muslim­ske grupper.
The first concerns the explanation which the President-in-Office of the Council of Ministers gave, and which is in the Swedish Treaty of Accession.
I den sidste tid er der imidlertid fremkommet ganske troværdige rapporter om, at den algeriske regering faktisk selv eventuelt er indblandet i dette.
Is it not the case that this explanation relates to the method to be used for terminal storage and that that is decided by people themselves, not by the waste that is to be terminally stored?
Jeg ville gerne spørge Rådet om dette ikke er en tråd, der bør følges op, og om vi ikke bør rette skarpe opfordringer til den algeriske regering om at åbne landet for internatio­nale organisationer, som skal have lov at komme ind og undersøge dette.
Lindqvist (ELDR). - (SV) I hope it will be possible to convey that answer to those in my country who are concerned that shipments of radioactive waste are going to increase.
Med hensyn til cirkulationen af radioaktivt affald vil Rådet gerne gøre opmærksom på, at direktiv 92/3 Euratom om overvågning og kontrol af transport af radioaktivt affald mellem medlemsstaterne samt om indførsel i og udførsel fra FæUesskabet har indført en streng overvåg­ningsordning.
I understand the answer to mean that, on the contrary, the Council's representatives are saying that there is no risk that radioactive waste could stray into any Member State which has not itself approved the import of shipments from other countries. That is, of course, good news.
Transport meUem medlemsstater kan kun finde sted på grundlag af en forudgående godkendelse fra de kompetente myndigheder i den medlemsstat, der skal modtage det radioaktive affald.
I hope that it will apply for a long time to come and that each country will decide for itself what shipments of radioactive waste from other countries it will accept. This is a positive response which I look forward to passing on in Sweden.
Lad mig sige, at jeg ikke tror, at der bliver slut på disse massakrer, hvis vi blot bUver ved med at skyde skylden på nogle, som vi ikke ved er skyldige, nemlig de muslimske partier.
The second question is as follows: if we have a situation where Sweden, or some other country, refuses to accept a shipment of radioactive waste, will it be possible to challenge that decision in the Court of Justice?
I øvrigt mente Rådet, at man skulle udnytte installationerne på nationalt plan bedst muligt samt uddybe de forskellige mulige indfaldsvinkler, som blandt andet kunne gøre det muUgt at mindske transporten af radioaktivt affald.
If there is a problem in Community law, the Court of Justice should be able, in my opinion, to deal with the matter.
Meningen med dette møde er i øvrigt at give et budskab, der både er klart og positivt.
I believe that my interpretation of this is correct, but if it is the case that this is also wrong and that the Council is right, I would also be pleased to convey that message to my country, Sweden.
Formanden. ­ Spørgsmål nr. 2 af Hans Lindqvist (H­0781/97):
President. - Question No 3 by Patricia McKenna (H-0787/97)
Jeg fortolker svaret sådan, at Rådets repræsentanter tværtimod siger, at der ikke findes nogen risici for, at radioaktivt affald skal komme på afveje i noget medlemsland, som ikke selv har godkendt, at man indfører transporter fra andre lande.
Between 200 to 300 demonstrators are reported to have been deported to other EU countries and there have been numerous reports of protestors being man^ handled by police, including reports of women being subjected to body searches and accompanied to toilets by male police officers. ' ,
Det budskab er naturügvis godt. Jeg håber, at det vil gælde i lang tid fremover, og at hvert land selv skal afgøre, hvüke
In this context it is worthwhile remembering that Sweden on the one hand, and the Community on the other hand, made a request to annex to the final membership agreement the following declaration: as regards the terminal portion in
Kan EF-domstolen i så fald ophæve en medlemsstats beslutning om at nægte at tage imod radioaktivt affald?
What action will the Council take on the basis of the reports of police misconduct at a vital EU event?
transporter af radioaktivt affald fra andre lande, man vil tage imod. Dette er et positivt svar, som jeg ser frem til at videregive i Sverige.
Luxembourg - to increase the number of women in the police force.
Wohlfart - (FR) Med hensyn til den første del af spørgsmålet råder jeg ikke over yderligere detaljer. Så jeg vil sige, at vi må benytte os af samme procedure som den, jeg lovede hr. Habsburg.
Wohlfart, President-in-Office of the Council. - (FR) I aheady had an opportunity to reply to questions on this matter, which was raised by Mrs Gonzales and Mr Diaz, at the July session.
Hvad angår spørgsmålets anden del, så må sagen, hvis der er tale om et problem vedrø rende fællesskabsretten, efter min mening kunne indbringes for Domstolen.
The Council has never discussed the problem raised by the honourable Member in her question.
Det andet svar, synes jeg derimod, var meget uklart.
Furthermore, as regards the employment summit, I think I am in a position to say that the instructions given to our police forces are very clear.
Jeg har forstået direktivet sådan, at det ganske tydeligt frem går, at man har til hensigt at fortynde visse mængder radioaktivt affald med andet affald for at kunne komme under de grænser, der gælder for håndtering, transport, lagring m.m.
What is involved, as was emphasized by the honourable Member, is the fundamental right of European citizens to demonstrate in the capital of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.
Jeg tror, min fortolkning af dette er rigtig, men hvis det er sådan, at også dette er forkert, og Rådet har ret, skal jeg med glæde fremføre også dette budskab til mit land, Sverige.
This right will be respected. On our side, we are going to make the necessary arrangements to ensure that this demonstration can take place in a calm and dignified manner.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 3 af Patricia McKenna (H-0787/97):
President - Question No 4 by Per Gahrton (H-0794/97) Subject: Strategy for relations with China
Wohlfart. - (FR) Jeg mener, at jeg så vidt muligt har forsøgt at give nogle svar på de forskellige spørgsmål, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem har rejst med hensyn til et emne, der er meget følsomt og meget vigtigt for den menneskelige sundhed.
The honourable Member will therefore understand that the Council has no authority to take a position on something which is not part of the competencies conferred upon the Council by the treaties.
I en ny rapport fra »Coalition for a Different Europe« anslås det, at mindst 700 fredelige demonstranter blev anholdt under Amsterdamtopmødet i juni.
McKenna (V). - First of all I would just like to say that a report was published yesterday by the independent Am sterdam Police Complaints Commission.
Der er desuden blevet offentliggjort fotos, der viser, at poli tiet opførte sig aggressivt over for demonstranterne.
They confirm that there was an inquiry, the three mass arrests were incorrect, and the criticism of the manner in which the arrested persons were treated was essentially very wellfounded.
For mit vedkommende mener jeg, at det vigtigste er den bestemmelse, der fastlægger den modtagende medlems stats ansvar og beføjelser.
The visit to the USA by President Jiang Zemin of China raises the question of the West's future strategy for its relations with the world's most populous country.
Det vil sige, at hvis Sverige i dette tilfælde ikke accepterer en sådan transport, så er det sikret mod den eventuelle deponering af radioaktivt affald, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem hentyder til.
The basic question is: how will it be possible to cooperate and conduct hade whilst actively and effectively helping to advance the process of democratization and introduce fundamental universal human rights?
I oktober udtalte den danske udenrigsminister Niels Helvig Petersen, at sådanne anholdelser måtte anses for problematiske.
What plans are there for the EU to take action within the UN Commission on Human Rights?
Jeg vil Ugeledes gerne gøre opmærksom på, at dette princip blev meget kraftigt forsvaret af Sverige under optagelsesforhandlingerne, eftersom Sverige ville undgå, at dets område blev forurenet af atomaffald.
Regarding the Minister's response, it is quite clear that the Council is playing a role here, in that it is agreeing on the Europol Convention.
Jeg mener, at det er en klar holdning.
It will be immune from the law.
Hvorledes agter Rådet at reagere på disse forlydender om politiets uheldige fremfærd ved en vigtig EU-begivenhed?
We are setting up a federal European police force that will carry out its police activities in Member States.
Wohlfart, formand for Rådet. - (FR) Jeg har allerede haft lejlighed til at svare på nogle spørgsmål om dette emne, som blev stillet af fru Gonzales og hr. Diaz under mødeperioden i juU i år.
Wohlfart, President-in-Office of the Council. - (FR) The situation with regard to respect of human rights in China is a constant concern of the European Union.
Rådet har aldrig været foranlediget til at drøfte det problem, som det ærede parlaments medlem nævner i sit spørgsmål.
All countries in the European Union share the determination and objective of achieving a significant improvement in human rights in China.
Jeg må til min skam tilstå, at jeg ikke kender det af Dem omtalte direktiv 92/3/Euratom.
I would like the Council's reassurance that at the next summit in Luxembourg we will not have mass arrests.
Det spørgsmål, der er vigtigt for mig og sikkert for mange østrigere, vedrører transit af atomaffald. Der tales altid kun om bestemmelsesmedlemslandene.
It is a very dangerous precedent to set for members of the European public, that they cannot have the right to demonstrate and to highlight their concerns regarding what is happening in Europe.
Er det i henhold til dette direktiv også muligt, at et land som Østrig i praksis modsætter sig, at sådanne stoffer bliver ført gennem landet? Jeg taler ikke kun om slutdeponeringen.
It is a fundamental right for people to be able to protest throughout the European Union.
Det ærede parlamentsmedlem vil således forstå, at Rådet ikke er kompetent til at tage stilling til et emne, der ikke hører ind under de beføjelser, som traktaterne giver Rådet.
You cannot wash your hands of it and say 'Oh well, that is the individual responsibility of the Member State'.
Wohlfart. - (FR) Jeg må indrømme, at det er et spørgsmål, som jeg ikke så geme vil give et forkert svar på.
Wohlfart. - (FR) First, I do understand the reasons which prompted Ms McKenna to raise this question.
Jeg vil derfor foreslå det ærede parlamentsmedlem, at jeg snarest muligt giver ham et skriftligt svar.
But whether we like it or not, there are treaties and there are also community and non-community competencies.
Jeg håber, at han forstår den situation, som jeg befinder mig i.
The question of human rights is on the agenda of the regular meetings between the European Union and China.
McKenna (V). - (EN) Først og fremmest vil jeg nævne, at der blev offentliggjort en rapport i går af den uafhængige klageinstans for Amsterdam Politi.
The Luxembourg and Chinese Ministers of Foreign Affairs have had meetings on this subject in July, on the fringes of the post-ministerial meetings of the ASEAN, which took place in Kuala Lumpur, and on the fringes of the General Assembly of the United Nations in September 1997, in New York.
Det bekræftes, at der blev foretaget en undersøgelse, at de tre massearrestationer var fejlagtige, og at kritikken af behandlingen af de arresterede personer grundlæggende var meget velfunderet. ret.
In New York, there was agreement that the European Union and the People's Republic of China would renew dialogue on human rights at expert level, on the understanding that this dialogue would be without preconditions.
Er det ikke sådan, at denne forklaring refererer til den metode, som skal anvendes for endelig deponering, og at man selv vælger den, ikke til hvilket affald, der skal endeligt deponeres?
But I would like also· to draw the attention of the honourable Member to the fact that if reference is made to Europol, we should not lose sight of the fact that, as things now stand, ratification took place yesterday, for two Member States only.
Sådan har jeg hidtil opfattet denne forklaring.
Therefore, I think this gives us food for thought.
Det andet spørgsmål er følgende: Hvis vi har en situation, hvor Sverige, eUer et andet land, nægter at tage imod en transport med radioaktivt affald, kan denne beslutning da
My personal feeling, is that I think it would be interesting to promote in the various Member States - and here, I speak as the former Secretary of State for public order in
Medlemsstaterne i Den Europæiske Union søger at opnå enighed om politikontrol af hele Europa og Europolkonventionen.
Dialogue on the human rights between the European Union and China was first launched, I remind you, in 1994.
Uden politisk eller juridisk kontrol vil Europol have omfattende beføjelser til indsamling af data osv. Europol vil være immune over for loven.
Before the Luxembourg presidency, two meetings took place at the beginning of 1995 and at the beginning of 1996.
Vi er ved at etablere en central europæisk politistyrke til udfø-
Under our presidency, the first meeting took place at the end of October in Luxembourg, and the
McKenna reise af politiaktiviteter i medlemsstaterne.
Wohlfart second meeting was scheduled for the beginning of De cember in Peking.
Den Europæi ske Union er nødt til at tage stilling til dette og de farer, der er forbundet hermed.
This dialogue will enable us to examine all questions of interest to the two parties.
Wohlfart, formand for Rådet. - (FR) Situationen vedrø rende respekten for menneskerettighederne i Kina er et emne, der konstant giver Den Europæiske Union grund til bekymring.
President. - Thank you, Mr Wohlfart, for your answers, and especially for your recommendation of patience, which is an absolutely essential virtue in this highly complex institution.
Alle landene i Den Europæiske Union har det fælles ønske og mål, at man når frem til en betydelig forbedring af menneskerettighederne i Kina.
And I must also request your patience as I ask you to maintain your attention on this question, since, pursuant to the Rules, I have received a request to put a supplementary from Mr Posselt, who has the floor for one minute.
Jeg vil geme have Rådets forsikring om, at der ikke vU forekomme massearrestationer ved det næste topmøde i Luxembourg. Det er et meget farligt eksempel at sætte for den europæiske befolkning, at de ikke har ret tU at demonstrere og vise deres bekymring for Europa.
Mr President, in this context, I must point out that China announced that it had signed the international pact on economic, social and cultural rights, and that work leading up to the signature of the international pact relating to civil rights and politics is continuing.
Man kan ikke bare løbe fra sit ansvar og sige »det er den enkelte medlemsstats individuelle ansvar«.
You doubtless learned last Sunday, that China released Mr Wei Jingsheng earlier than expected, a gesture that was welcomed by the presidency.
I forlængelse af det 53. møde for FN's Menneskerettig hedskommission i Genève, satte Den Europæiske Union sig for påny at overveje sin politik med Kina med henblik på menneskerettighederne, og det med det formål at vedtage en sammenhængende fremgangsmåde.
The case of Mr Wei Jingsheng had been regularly raised by the European Union, and recentiy in Luxembourg itself.
Wohlfart - (FR) Først vil jeg gerne sige, at jeg forstår de grande, der har fået fru McKenna til at stille sit spørgsmål.
Posselt (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I congratulate you on your brilliant response to China.
Men hvad enten vi synes om det eller ej, så eksisterer der nogle traktater, og der eksisterer ligeledes nogle beføjelser, som er Fællesskabets og nogle, som ikke er Fællesskabets.
I would just like to inquhe by way of addition: we do not take an uncritical view of American foreign policy, of course, but actually a very critical one.
Spørgsmålet om menneskerettighederne står på dagsordenen for de regelmæssige kontakter meUem Den Europæi ske Union og Kina.
Gahrton (V). - (SV) Thank you for the answer which contained a lot of facts, but no news.
De luxembourgske og kinesiske udenrigsministre har i den anledning haft nogle samtaler i juli måned i forbindelse med ASEAN's postministerielle møder, som fandt sted i Kuala Lumpur, samt i forbindelse med FN's GeneralforsamUng i september 1997 i New York.
The question is whether the release of Wei Jingsheng is the spark that could light á prairie fire in the form of further strong stands on human rights in China, whether it is the butterfly which will set off the hurricane which will really create change in China.
I øvrigt mener jeg, at man blander tingene sammen, når man henviser til Europol.
Wohlfart. - (FR) This is a very good question.
Europol vil være klar til at blive taget i brug om kort tid - det håber man i det mindste.
Until now, this possibility, raised as it happens by the honourable Member, has still not been examined by the Council.
Men jeg vU ligeledes geme henlede det ærede parlaments medlems opmærksomhed på, at hvis man henviser til Europol, så skal man holde sig for øje, at ratificeringen på nuværende tidspunkt kun har fundet sted for to medlems staters vedkommende. Jeg tror således nok, at vi her har stof tU eftertanke.
But as the European Union already has a number of special envoys in place to defend the position of the European Union as a negotiator or mediator in various parts of the world and, given the political; economic, and cultural importance of a country such as China, but also the interest that we all have in the promotion of human rights and democratization, I believe that the suggestion merits our support, and at all events, I intend to present it at the time of a forthcoming General Affairs Council.
Jeg minder Dem om, at dialogen meUem Den Europæiske Union og Kina om menneskerettighederne blev indledt i 1994.
I wonder whether, against the background of these facts, the Council has any new strategy.
Før det luxembourgske formandskab fandt to møder sted, nemUg i begyndelsen af 1995 og i begyndelsen af 1996.
Have you any interpretation of what is happening?
Under vores formandskab har et første møde fundet sted i Luxembourg i slutningen af oktober, og et andet møde er planlagt i Beijing i begyndelsen af december.
Is a hopeful change taking place in China or not?
Denne dialog gør det muUgt at behandle aUe de spørgsmål, der vedrører de to parter.
What is the Council's interpretation? tion?
Personligt vil jeg sige, at en idé, der afgjort ville være interessant at fremme i de forskellige medlemsstater - og her taler jeg som gammel statssekretær for ordensmagten i Luxembourg - er at forøge antallet af kvinder inden for politiet.
President. - As they deal with the same subject, the following questions will be taken together:
Det er en helt personüg overvejelse, som måske kunne haVe gjort det muligt at undgå visse uheldige eller voldsomme kontroller, om jeg så må sige.
Question No 5 by Sören Wibe (H-0802/97) Subject: Inspection of meat infected by salmonella
De har sikkert hørt, at Kina sidste søndag frigav Wei Jingsheng, hvilket skete tidligere end beregnet, og hvilket i øvrigt er en gestus, som formandskabet hüste velkommen.
Between March and September the Swedish Food Administration examined 569 consignments of meat imported from EU countries.
Wei Jingshengs sag var regelmæssigt blevet nævnt af Den Europæiske Union, også i Luxembourg for ganske nylig.
75 % of them had veterinary certificates stating that the meat was salmonellafree.
I øvrigt mener jeg med hensyn til beskæftigelsestopmødet at kunne sige, at de instruktioner, som vores politistyrker har fået, er meget tydelige.
One in four of the consignments of meat examined had incomplete or no certificates.
Denne ret vil blive respekteret.
Seven of the eight French consignments inspected were infected.
For vores vedkommende vil vi træffe de nødvendige forholdsregler for at denne demonstration kan foregå fredeligt og vær digt.
In early September 1997 the French Minister of Agriculture promised his Swedish colleague that French checks would be intensified.
Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Per Gahrton
In September alone there were five cases of positive salmonella samples from French meat.
Om: Strategien i forbindelserne med Kina
Every year twenty or so people die of CJD in Europe, while salmonella may kill a thousand.
Spørgsmålet er jo, om løsladelsen af Wei Jingsheng er den gnist, som kan tænde en præriebrand i form af en yderligere styrket stiUing for menneskerettighederne i Kina, om det er den sommerfugl, der starter orkanen, som virkelig skaber forandringer i Kina.
Wohlfart - (FR) I believe that the Members of this House will agree with me in saying that, as between what we, the Council and European Parliament, all wish regard ing human rights, and the actual reality, there may well often be a yawning chasm.
Der findes mange forskellige bedømmelser.
There is much work still to be done.
Der er sket en hel del i den sidste tid, dels på den sidste partikongres, dels under præsident Jiangs besøg i USA med den berømte udtalelse om en »fejltagelse« på Den Himmelske Freds plads.
As regards China, which is a country I know fairly well, as I had an opportunity to go there on a number of occasions as part of our bilateral relationship, I believe there is a degree of openness, albeit timid. Let me explain.
Nu har vi desuden løsladelsen af Wei Jingsheng.
In 1992,1 was able for the first time to raise the question of human rights with the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Jeg ville geme vide, om Rådet på grundlag af disse fakta har nogen ny strategi.
At the time, this was a taboo question for the Chinese, and the reply was very curt, and very dry.
Har De nogen fortolkning af det, der sker?
I had an opportunity in February of last year to accompany our Prime Minister, Mr Juncker, on an official journey to China.
Er der en håbefuld forandring i gang i Kina eUer ej?
Once again, the question of human rights and democratization was raised, but we observed some change in the tone of the reply we received.
Hvad er Rådets fortolkning?
I believe that we should have no illusions.
Den kinesiske præsident Jiang Zemins besøg i USA aktualiserer den vestlige verdens fremtidige strategi i forholdet til verdens folkerigeste stat.
The strategy which the European Union may well adopt is one of continuous dialogue at all levels, a dialogue which will niake it possible to progress on a step by step basis.
Visse Kina-eksperter mener, at der til stadighed må øves en kraftig åben kritik af Kinas mangler i denne henseende.
However, in my view, there is no alternative at the present time.
Andre hævder derimod, at en diskret diplomatisk indsats vUle være at foretrække.
But I persist in believing - and I say this as a personal view - that the comments made by the President in the United States are still of interest, as there is a degree of openness.
