Et svar som — således som hr. Barzanti bemærkede — står i skærende modsætning til præsident François Mitterrands værdige, for pligtende holdning, som kom til udtryk for et øjeblik siden fra selvsamme talerstol.
I would contend that, as has already happened in the case of another Commissioner, the Commissioner for the Internal Market, we are again faced with a sort of shift in time-limits, a flurry of deadlines which are not being respected — on grounds which I imagine to be valid as far as the Commissioner is concerned — and what we are seeing therefore is the application of a particular approach to this issue that is so critical, imminent and urgent for all the countries of the European Union.
Jeg frygter, at vi på ny — ligesom det allerede er sket med en anden kommissær, kommissæren for Det indre marked — vil
I hope that it is not so, but it seems to me that this Commission has simply passed the 'hot potato' to the new Commission, thereby avoiding meeting what was, after all, the commitment to observe a number of deadlines — most recently that of 30 November.
For det første anvendes kvoteordningen ikke punkt for punkt på de såkaldte nye tjenester, de fremtidige »multimedia«, nærmere betegnet »video on demand« og »near video on demand«.
Meanwhile, according to legal opinion, the Commission was not empowered to take any decisions of substance after 6 January and the package would therefore have to be passed on to the incoming Commission.
Andre principper vil imidlertid blive bragt i anvendelse på dette område, nemlig princippet om retssikkerhed, det vil sige ansvar over for en og kun en medlemsstat, princippet om beskyttelse af mindreårige og om retten til at tage til genmæle.
It could then be proposed by another Commissioner, in principle — if he is confirmed by Parliament — Commissioner Marcelino Oreja, who has clearly
Kan man ikke heraf udlede, at den spanske regering under Felipe González, i modsætning til den situation i Portugal, som hr. Apolinário kritiserer i spørgsmål nr. 77, ikke har skelet til, at 1993 var et valgår?
I therefore wish to place on record that I protest, that my successor has publicly stated his commitment in this matter and that I do not consider the views expressed by the honourable Member to be correct.
Disse tre forudsætninger er minimumsbetingelser for at tillade fri bevægelighed for de nye tjenester, der vil opstå i hele Europa.
The package that will be presented early in the next Commission's term of office has, I repeat, been put together in close consultation with the professionals.
De kan dog på ingen måde anses for en protektionistisk mekanisme, men som en mekanisme til fremme af det indre marked. Med hensyn til kvoterne sigter de, hvad angår audiovisuelle værker, sammen med Media 2-programmet, mod at fremme dels produktionen, dels udbredelsen af de såkaldte stock-værker, substantielle og indholdsorienterede værker, dvs. at »talkshows«, sport, osv. ikke er omfattet heraf.
As a result, it should in my opinion be very well received by the producers and distributors and also by the television networks, since, as I am «able to inform the honourable Member, that the number, or rather the ratio, of European works of a general character shown on television in the Community is close to 60%, i.e. well above the minimum quota of 51 %.
Jeg gentager, at den omhandlede pakke, der snarest vil blive forelagt af den nye Kommission, er udarbejdet i tæt samarbejde med fagfolk. Efter min mening vil den derfor blive vel modtaget af producenter såvel som distributører og også af tv-kædeme, idet jeg kan meddele det ærede medlem, at europæiske tv-produktioner, der vises i Det Europæiske Fællesskab tegner sig for 60%, dvs. en hel del over mindstekvoten på 51%.
There is therefore no reason for this to be regarded as a restrictive measure and no reason for any extraordinary amendments to the present directive except, I repeat, with a view to obtaining greater flexibility in certain borderline cases and achieving complete legal certainty which, in our opinion, is lacking at present.
Millan. — (EN) Alt, hvad jeg kan sige, er, at vi ved udløbet af den femårige periode bevilligede nøjagtig 100% af det, Spanien havde ret til fra strukturfondene.
President. — Question No 45 by Carmen Fraga Estévez (H-0774/94)
Jeg bør forklare, at vi af hensyn til den finansielle forvaltning i begyndelsen af hver ny finansperiode antager, at de beløb, der skal gå til hver enkelt medlemsstat, det vil sige den rytme, hvori bevillingen gennem føres, er i overensstemmelse med konklusionerne fra Edinburgh.
Pailler (GUE/NGL). - (FR) Well, you talked about commit ment, and we are not blaming you for your state of health or for this delay in the timetable.
I praksis er det sådan, at hvis nogle medlemsstater kan gå hurtigere frem, mens andre sakker agterud, så fremskynder vi finansieringen til dem, der går hurtigere end gennemsnittet, snarere end at lade midlerne være underudnyttede. Men ved periodens slutning må vi have balance.
But there are other timetables which are rolling on more quickly than planned, such as the deregulation arrangements in telecommunications, called for by Mr Bangemann almost two years in advance.
Men at kunne sætte tempoet op på denne måde skyldes god ledelse og er også i høj grad i de pågældende medlemsstaters interesse, fordi de faktisk får pengene tidlige re, end det oprindelig var planlagt.
Consider the figures: 80% and even as high as 99% of American productions in Eastern European States, whereas what we are asking for is 50%, a 50/50 quota.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 45 af Fraga Estévez (H0774/94):
I am talking about European works.
Af Revisionsrettens seneste to beretninger om budgetterne for henholdsvis 1992 og 1993 fremgår det klart, at Spanien ud af EU's samlede udbetalinger til forskellige medlems stater har modtaget et samlet beløb på 2.971,3 mio ecu i 1993 (401,1 fra EUGFL, udviklingssektionen, 1.739 fra EFRU og 832,2 mio ecu fra Socialfonden), medens Spanien i 1992 i alt modtog 3.378,4 mio ecu (568,5 fra EUGFL, udviklingssektionen, 1.995,3 fra EFRU og 814,6 mio ecu fra Socialfonden), hvilket betyder, at betalingerne i ecu pr. indbygger er faldet fra 86,50 ecu i 1992 til 75,99 ecu i 1993, hvilket er det modsatte af det, der foregår i de øvrige medlemsstater bortset fra Det Forenede Kongerige.
An analysis of the two most recent reports by the Court of Auditors on the 1992 and 1993 budgets in connection with the total payments by the EU to the various Member States reveals the remarkable fact that Spain received a total of ECU 2971.3 million in 1993 (401.1 million from the EAGGF — Guidance Section, 1739 million from the ERDF, and 832.2 million from the Social Fund) whilst in 1992 it received a total of ECU 3378.4 million (568.5 million from the EAGGF Guidance Section, 1995.3 million from the ERDF and 814.6 million from the Social Fund), which works out at a reduction from ECU 86.50 per capita in 1992 to ECU 75.99 in 1993, contrary to the trend in the other Member States with the exception of the United Kingdom.
Kan Kommissionen forklare denne nedgang i betalingerne til Spanien?
How does the Commission explain this reduction in payments to Spain?
Milian. — (EN) Jeg er glad for at kunne sige, at vi ved afslutningen af den femårige periode 1989-93 havde 100% udnyttelse, når man tager alle medlemsstaterne under et og hver medlemsstat for sig. I nogle tilfælde nåede vi det med store vanskeligheder og først ved slutningen af femårsperioden.
My question is as follows: Is the timetable going to take any notice of this urgency, because the independent producers, the public television stations, the directors and authors' associations, the artists, performers and technicians unions, the national production companies and the citizens we meet every day — there were a great many of them in Paris only last Friday, and they were not all French — are all calling for this directive?
I andre tilfælde — og Spanien er et af eksemplerne — var der ikke noget problem med at udnytte 100% ved afslutningen af perioden, for, som jeg har sagt, Spanien var forud for de oprindelige finansielle overslag.
Not only are they asking us to produce a directive quickly, they are also asking us to ensure that the choice is not too wide and the supply is not too open to choices between production quotas and broadcasting quotas, which are in fact tantamount to the cancellation of the production quotas.
Men jeg har altid bestræbt mig på — og jeg er sikker på, min efterfølger vil gøre det samme i den nye finansielle periode — at sikre mig, at der er en 100% udnyttelse ved udløbet af perioden.
They also want to know if the directive will apply — and this is a very specific question — to the two new forms of interactive television known as Papen'iew and Video on demand, which represent the market of the future.
I Spaniens tilfælde var det ikke noget problem.
These aspects of the draft directive are not clear.
Formanden. — Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 46 og 47.
Pinheiro. — (PT) Mr President, it is always difficult to discuss a document that has not yet been published, since I have the advantage of knowing what has been proposed whereas the honourable Member does not.
I de fleste tilfælde blev disse bevillinger udbetalt i stigende takt, efterhånden som programperioden skred frem.
In most cases these allocations were disbursed at an increasing rate as the programming period progressed.
Men i Spaniens tilfælde muliggjorde en hurtig udførelse på stedet af de initiativer, som fondene var med til at finansiere, at man kunne anvende en forholdsvis stor del af bevillingerne de første fire år.
However, in the case of Spain, the rapid execution on the ground of the operations cofinanced by the funds made it possible to commit a relatively high proportion of the expenses in the first four years.
Det førte ved periodens afslutning til en situation, hvor de beløb, der var tilbage til udbetaling i 1993, var lavere end i 1992.
This led at the end of the period to a situation in which the amount remaining to be committed in 1993 was lower than the amount committed in 1992.
Fraga Estévez (PPE). — (ES) Jeg takker kommissæren for redegørelsen.
Fraga Estévez (PPE). - (ES) I would like to thank the Commissioner for the explanation he has given me.
Har Kommissionen kendskab til, at det portugisiske kontor for flymateriel (OGMA)'s vigtigste aktivitet siden kolonikrigens tid har været teknisk bistand og krigsmateriel? riel?
In the first place, quotas or the quota system do not apply point by point to the new services that may constitute the multimedia of the future, notably video on demand and near video on demand.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). — (ES) Af kommissærens svar fremgår det klart, at denne nedgang i betalingerne skyldes, at Spanien har forvaltet strukturfondsmidlerne optimalt i perioden 19891993.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). — (ES) The Commissioner's response shows very clearly that if this reduction has occurred, it is precisely because Spain managed the Structural Funds so well during the period from 1989 to 1993.
For at undgå enhver misforståelse kan kommissæren da, som han gjorde for et stykke tid siden i Udvalget om
To avoid any misunderstandings, could the Commissioner confirm now, as he did some time ago in the Committee on Regional Policy, and as his colleague Commissioner Schmidhuber did to the same committee on 26 April, that Spain's management of the Structural Funds has been, to use his own word, excellent?
Er Kommissionen klar over, at OGMA har ydet militær bistand til en af de stridende parter i den angolanske konflikt i skærende kontrast til det forbud mod militær hjælp, som blev gennemført med Bicesse-aftalerne og FN's resolutioner om Angola?
As to the question of quotas, the quotas for audiovisual works are intended principally, together with the Media 2 programme, to encourage the production and distribution of stock productions and background programmes but not talk shows, sport, etc.
Kan den oplyse, om der i forbindelse med den tekniske bistandspakke under fællesskabsstøtterammens mål nr. 1 for Portugal, er blevet ydet støtte fra den Europæiske Union til OGMA?
GAMW operates in commercial and military markets inside and outside Portugal.
Kan den desuden oplyse, hvilke beløb der er tale om, datoerne for udbetalingerne og den konkrete anvendelse af denne finansielle støtte?
Community aid to the company was granted by a Commission decision of 25 March 1993.
Milian. — (EN) Jeg er opmærksom på de beskyldninger, der er fremsat i Portugal med hensyn til nogle af aktiviteterne i denne virksomhed. Jeg mener ikke, det er op til mig at kommentere dem.
The assistance was provided to encourage technological transfer to an industry which was relatively little developed in Portugal, namely the maintenance of civil aircraft.
Jeg er ikke opmærksom på, at der er blevet bragt nogen fællesskabsmidler inden for de områder, der nu er omstridt.
The assistance upgraded the capacity of the workforce to use modem techniques.
OGMA opererer på de kommercielle og militære markeder inden for og uden for Portugal.
The intention was to make possible up-to-date aero-engine maintenance.
Fællesskabsstøtte til virksomheden blev bevilliget ved en kommissionsbeslutning af 25. marts 1993.
I should explain that for purposes of financial management, at the start of a new financial period we assume that the amounts going to each Member State, i.e. the rhythm of execution, will be in line with the Edinburgh conclusions.
Støtten blev givet for at opmuntre overførsel af teknologi til et område, der var forholdsvis lidt udviklet i Portugal, nemlig vedligeholdelse af civile flyvemaskiner.
In practice, if some Member States are able to go faster while others fall behind, then rather than leave the funds under-utilized we accelerate the funding for those that are going faster than average.
Hensigten var at muliggøre en fuldt moderne vedligeholdelse af flymotorer.
That is what happened in the case of Spain.
Investeringen skabte ikke nye arbejdspladser, men forbedrede den eksisterende arbejdsstyrkes kvalifikationer betydeligt og vil hjælpe med til at sikre, at de nuværende arbejdspladser bliver bevaret.
But to be able to accelerate in this way is a product of good management and it is also very much in the interests of the Member States concerned because effectively they have had the money rather earlier than originally planned.
Kommissionen bedes oplyse, hvilke foranstaltninger den agter at træffe for at overtale den amerikanske regering til at ophæve særafgiften fra 1991 på luksusvarer som medfører, at luksusbiler, der produceres i Europa, som f.eks.
Arias Cañete (PPE). — (ES) Following on from these questions, could the Commissioner indicate how much of the Structural Funds remained unused at the end of the period and for what budgetary purpose the twelve Member States used them?
Kommissionen mener, at projektets formål bidrager til regional økonomisk udvikling i Fællesskabet.
The Commission considers that the aims of the project contribute to regional economic development in the Community.
Det projekt, der blev opnået enighed om, er anslået til at koste 28,8 mio ECU, hvoraf Den Europæiske Regionale Udviklingsfond skaffer 14,6 mio, lige under 50%.
The agreed project is costed at ECU 28.8m, of which the European Regional Development Fund is financing ECU 14.6m, just under 50%.
Foreløbig er 80% af dette bidrag blevet betalt forud til OGMA.
So far 80% of this contribution has been paid in advances to GAMW.
Resten vil blive udbetalt, når Kommissionen har modtaget og godkendt den endelige rapport som værende i overensstemmelse med den oprindelige afgørelse.
The balance will be paid once the final report has been received and accepted by the Commission as being in conformity with the original decision.
Kommissionen er ikke opmærksom på nogen form for misbrug af bevillingen, men vil nøje se på alle oplysninger, den får forelagt.
The Commission is not aware of any misuse of the grant but will examine thoroughly any information provided to it.
Tak for Deres svar og for den dokumentation, jeg har fået adgang til gennem de tjenestegrene, der henhører under Deres ansvarsområde.
Commissioner, for your reply and the documentation to which I was allowed access by your departments.
Sir Leon Brittan, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Denne afgift er blevet pålagt alle biler solgt til forbrugere i USA til en pris af $42000 eller derover.
I think this is a good example of the transparency we would like to see operating in the various Community institutions and in the institutions of the Member States.
Afgiften rammer i uforholdsmæssig høj grad import fra Europa.
In some cases we achieved that with very considerable difficulty, and only at the end of the five-year period.
Efter to runder med resultatløse bilaterale konsultationer i henhold til artikel 23, stk. 1 i GATT-aftalen i 1992 blev der i maj 1993 efter anmodning fra Den Europæiske Union nedsat et GATT-panel, der skulle se på foreneligheden af disse afgifter og bøder med de relevante bestemmelser i GATT.
I think that is a very good record and a tribute, I hope, to the way in which the Commission manages these matters. It is also a tribute to the vast majority of the Member States and the way that they manage these allocations.
Panelet udsendte en rapport til de berørte parter i september 1994.
Subject: Financial support for the General Aeronautic Material Workshops
Resultaterne var blandede.
Why was the technical assistance programme chosen?
Efter en større ændring af fortolkningen af GATT-artikel 3 fandt panelet, at luksusafgiften og afgiften på benzinslugere ikke virkede diskriminerende, men at den måde, hvorpå man beregnede benzinsøkonomi for CAF, gjorde.
Its basic objectives, as defined in the Community support framework, are the management, coordination and supervision of operations of this kind and it seems to me to give the Commission departments less control over the support and the real effectiveness of the support to be given, in this case, to a company which is dependent on the government of my Member State.
Som De kan forestille Dem, er svaret en stor personlig og politisk tilfredsstillelse for mig, især politisk, for så vidt som det portugisiske regeringsparti i et kommuniké havde forudsagt, at mit spørgsmål — der er fuldstændig naturligt, relevant og normalt — ikke ville blive besvaret af fællesskabsinstitutionerne.
Is the Commission aware that the General Aeronautic Material Workshops (GAMW) company has, since the period of the Portuguese colonial war, been mainly concerned with providing technical assistance concerning war materials?
Kommissæren mener, at fortolkningen af GATT-artikel 3 i betænkningen er skadelig for verdenshandelen, da den vil tillade opfindsomme skatte- og reguleringsmyndigheder at diskriminere mod importerede produkter.
Is the Commission aware that this company provided military assistance to one of the contending parties in the Angolan conflict, in flagrant disregard of the ban on military aid established under the Bicesse agreements and the UN resolutions on Angola?
Den Europæiske Union har ikke hidtil godkendt vedtagelsen af rapporten fra panelet, og sagen vil blive drøftet igen ved næste rådsmøde i GATT.
Has any financial aid from the Union been provided to this company under the technical assistance section of the Community Support Framework I for Portugal?
I mellemtiden fortsætter Kommissionen med at analysere mulige yderligere skridt i nøje samarbejde med den europæiske bilindustri.
If so, what amounts were involved, when were the payments made and to what concrete use was the aid put?
Jeg ved, at Sir Leon er opmærksom på den meget store bekymring i Crewe i Cheshire, hvor Rolls-Royce-motorerne bliver fremstillet, omkring dette spørgsmål, der har fået fremstilling og salg til De Forenede Stater af Rolls-Royce-
I am not aware that any Community money has been used in the areas which are now the subject of controversy. As I understand it, and in accord ance with the information that is available to the Commission, the purposes for which Community aid was granted have been followed by the company.
Jeg spørger altså, hvorfor man har valgt det tekniske bistandsprogram, som inden for fællesskabsstøtterammen defineres som et program, hvis hovedformål er forvaltning, koordinering og kontrol med operationer under støtterammen, og som efter min mening ikke forbedrer Kommissionens tjenestegrenes muligheder for at udøve kontrol med støttemidlerne og den reelle anvendelse af disse midler, der i det omhandlede tilfælde er ydet til en statslig portugisisk virksomhed?
Millan, Member of the Commission. — According to the information provided to the Commission by the Portuguese authorities, the General Aeronautical Material Workshops (GAMW) company works in four main areas: aircraft and helicopter maintenance, electronics maintenance, engine main
Oreja Aguirre. — (ES) Jeg er enig i hr. Izquierdos bemærk ning, som jeg nøje har noteret mig.
President. - Question No 49 by Lyndon Harrison (H-0781/94)
Sir Leon Brittan, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Jeg er det ærede medlem taknemmelig for hans venlige ord og for de ekstra oplysninger, han har givet her til aften.
President. — Question No 50 by Juan Izquierdo Collado (H-0782/94)
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 50 af Izquierdo Collado (H0782/94):
Subject: US Government luxury tax on European motor cars
Om: Højhastighedstog (AVE) mellem Madrid, Albacete og Valencia
Subject: Highspeed rail links between Madrid, Albacete and Valencia
Jeg ville sætte pris på, om kommissæren ville kommentere, hvorvidt Kommissionen er parat til at stille midler til rådighed, hvis der sker en sådan ændring, og hvis listerne over projekter bliver ændret i løbet af de nærmeste uger og måneder.
What steps is the Commission taking to persuade the United States Government to repeal the 1992 luxury tax which discriminates against the importation into the USA of European-manufactured luxury cars such as Rolls Royce, Mercedes and Ferrari?
Agter Kommissionen at lade strækningen for højhastighedstoget AVE mellem Madrid, Albacete og Valencia, som ikke indgår i Kommissionens budget for 1992 og 1993, indgå i sine planer for et intermodalt transeuropæisk net?
Is the Commission intending to include in its plans for a transEuropean intermodal network, and in the relevant section of the budget, the highspeed rail link between Madrid, Albacete and Valencia, which does not feature in the 1992 and 1993 Commission budgets?
Oreja Aguirre, medlem af Kommissionen. — (ES) Jeg kan meddele det ærede medlem, at strækningen for højhastighedstog mellem Madrid, Albacete og Valencia figurerer som egnet til en hastighed på 200 km/t i den generalplan, der forelagdes Rådet på samlingen den 17. december 1990.
Oreja Aguirre, Member of the Commission. — (ES) I can inform the honourable Member that the highspeed rail link between Madrid and Valencia, via Albacete, is designated as being suitably equipped for speeds of around 200 km/h in the general plan presented to the Council at its meeting of 17 December 1990.
I forslaget til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets beslutning om fælles retningslinjer for udviklingen af det transeuropæiske transportnet er denne strækning repræsenteret på samme måde som i generalplanen fra 1990.
In the proposal for a European Parliament and Council decision on Community guidelines for the development of the transEuropean transport network, this rail link is designated in the same way as in the 1990 general plan.
Oreja Aguirre. — (ES) Jeg ser, der er to aspekter i Deres spørgsmål, og jeg kan for det første orientere Dem om de eksisterende muligheder for unionsstøttemidler til gennemførelsen af disse linjer.
At the meeting of the high-level group on highspeed trains held in Brussels on 14 December, the Spanish Government's representative expressed a desire that this line should be shown as a new one whose route is yet to be determined.
Kommissionen er rede til at behandle dette forslag inden for rammerne af ajourføringen af generalplanen for højhastighedstog.
Following a major change in the interpretation of GATT, Article 3, the panel found that the luxury tax and the gas guzzler tax were non-discriminatory but the method of calculating fuel economy for CAF was discriminatory.
