For det andet har regeringen i Gibraltar selv udstedt et ID-kort, som er blevet accepteret af den britisk regering, og jeg tror, det er blevet videresendt til hele Fællesskabet med henblik på accept fra andre EF-landes side. Kan De oplyse mig om, hvor langt man er kommet med denne proces, og hvis det rent faktisk accepteres som et gyldigt ID-kort, vil man så træffe
Secondly, the Gibraltar Government itself has issued an identity card which has been accepted by the British Govern ment and I think it has been passed forward to the Community as a whole for acceptance by other EC countries.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger. Bilag EFT 438 af 17.11.1993.
Verbatim report of proceedings. Annex OJ 438. 17.11.1993
Megahy foranstaltninger sammen med de andre foranstaltninger, der er ved at blive truffet i øjeblikket for at sørge for, at de spanske myndigheder er rede til at acceptere disse kort, hvis de kan accepteres af alle andre EF-lande?
Wulf-Mathies the Spanish Government considers this necessary for reasons of public order are smuggling and drugs.
Siden konflikten med Canada om helleflyndere begyndte, har Kommissionen hele tiden resolut holdt fast ved dette princip.
We are currently checking carefully whether these reasons are sufficiently valid to justify the Spanish Government's actions.
Men konflikten efter den ulovlige opbringning af Estai måtte løses.
But since we are dealing here with rather complex legal questions, we have to proceed carefully.
Den stigende spænding var ikke til gavn for nogen, absolut ikke fiskerne, og der måtte findes en praktisk løsning.
We are currently doing so and will now take this question further during direct contacts with the Spanish Government.
Wulf-Mathies. — (DE) Vedrørende sidstnævnte kan jeg desværre ikke sige Dem, om andre stater anerkender det, men vi skal geme undersøge dette konkrete spørgsmål nærmere.
As to the terms of the agreement, it must be remembered that all the fundamental principles have been safeguarded.
Som grande til den opfattelse, at det var nødvendigt af hensyn til den offentlige orden, angav den spanske regering smugleri og narkotika.
The controversial amendments of 3 March 1995 to the Canadian Coastal Fisheries Protection Act have been withdrawn.
Da det imidlertid drejer sig om relativt komplicerede juridiske spørgsmål, må vi være meget omhyggelige.
It is true that the quota allocation of course is not the one which our fishermen would have preferred.
Men vi arbejder med sagen og vil også fremskynde den ved direkte kontakter med den spanske regering.
But it must be stressed — and I think this is of enormous importance — that these quotas were significantly higher than the ones allocated by NAFO to the Community at the meeting in February.
Cabezón Alonso (PSE). — (ES) Dette og andre problemer vedrørende Gibraltar vil blive løst — det må vi i hvert fald håbe — den dag, da Gibraltar ophører med at være en koloni.
Cabezón Alonso (PSE). — (ES) This and other problems concerning Gibraltar will end — thankfully — the day that Gibraltar ceases to be a colony.
Men sådan forholder det sig ikke i dag, og man anklager nu en regering i en af Unionens medlemsstater, den spanske regering, for ulovlige aktioner.
The point at issue, however, is the allegations — as I understand it — of illegal action by the government of a Member State of the European Union, namely Spain.
Jeg vil geme spørge Kommissionen, om den ud fra dens nuværende kendskab til sagen og i henhold til gældende fællesskabslovgivning og Schengenaftalerne finder det korrekt at anklage den spanske regering for ulovligheder, ja eller nej.
I wish to ask the Commissioner whether, in view of the facts known to the Commission, and in the light of current Community law and the Schengen agreements, it is correct to accuse the Spanish Government of illegal action. Yes or no?
Wulf-Mathies. — (DE) Hr. parlamentsmedlem, jeg har forsøgt at forklare, at vi i øjeblikket er ved at undersøge dette nøje.
Wulf-Mathies. — (DE) Mr Cabezón Alonso, I have tried to explain that we are currently checking this carefully.
Jeg kan her og nu kun sige følgende: Skulle undersøgelsen vise, at der foreligger en alvorlig overtrædelse, vil Kommissionen handle i overensstemmelse med EF-traktaten.
Here and now all I can say is this: should our inquiries show that a serious infringement has occurred, the Commission will proceed in accordance with the Treaty.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). — (ES) Ud over problemet vedrørende den offentlige orden som påpeget af de spanske myndigheder på Gibraltarklippen, er der meget store problemer med narkotika og smugling, hvilket Kommissionen og de øvrige af Unionens institutioner har kunnet få bekræftet dag for dag.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). — (£5) Besides the problem of public order in Gibraltar invoked by the Spanish authorities, ladies and gentlemen, there are also the huge problems of drugtrafficking and smuggling verified on a daily basis by the Commission and the European Union's other institutions.
Lucas Pires (PPE). — (PT) Hr. kommissær, jeg drager ikke disse argumenter i tvivl, men jeg finder forhandlingsresultatet besynderligt, og jeg har ikke hørt et klart svar på dette punkt.
Lucas Pires (PPE). — (PT) Mr Commissioner, I do not dispute what you say but I find the result of the negotiations extraordinary and I have not heard any clear explanation for this.
Jeg vil geme have Dem til at præcisere to punkter: for det første at det ser ud til at forbrydelse betaler sig, for så vidt som Kommissionen gav sig til at forhandle med lovovertræderen efter først at have konstateret, at der var tale om en lovovertrædelse, og at lovovertræderen har draget fordel heraf. For det andet at Kommissionen sprang op som en løve og faldt ned som et lam, idet den først anklagede Canada for sørøveri — som er en yderst alvorlig forbrydelse efter folkerettens bestemmelser — og dernæst støttede en aftale, som udelukkende er til fordel for forbryderen.
I should be grateful for clarification on two points: first, the fact that crime apparently pays, since immediately after the infringement was confirmed the Commission entered into negotiations with the perpetrator, from which the latter emerged in a stronger position; and, second, the fact that the Commission went in like a lion and came out like a lamb, since it started by talking about an act of piracy — an extremely serious crime in international law — and in no time at all the outcome of the negotiations appeared to benefit the party accused of that crime.
Efter min mening kræver disse to punkter i det mindste en selvkritik fra Kommissionens side, og en sådan var ikke særlig tydelig i kommissærens indlæg.
I consider that at the very least the Commission should acknowledge its shortcomings on these two points but this was not apparent from the Commissioner's statement.
Fru kommissær, jeg spørger Dem, om De ikke finder det skændigt, at der stadig findes en koloni som Gibraltarklippen.
Do you not think, Commissioner, that it is a disgrace that a colony such as Gibraltar should continue to exist in this day and age?
En koloni i Den Europæiske Union.
A colony in the midst of the European Union!
Er De eller er De ikke enig i, at dette er en skændsel?
Is this, or is it not, a disgrace?
Wulf-Mathies. — (DE) Jeg beder om forståelse for, at Kommissionen bliver nødt til at anerkende de faktiske forhold i Det Europæiske Fællesskab, og jeg håber, at forhandlingerne og forhandlingsløsningerne mellem Det Forenede Kongerige og Spanien vil føre til, at også Gibraltar-problemet i europæisk sammenhæng snart holder op med at være et praktisk problem.
Wulf-Mathies. — (DE) I would ask you to please understand that the Commission has to recognize the realities of the situation in the European Community and I hope that as a result of the negotiations and the outcome of the negotiations between the United Kingdom and Spain, the question of Gibraltar will soon no longer present a practical problem in the European context.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 40 af Francisco Lucas Pires (H-0333/95):
President. — Question No 40 by Francisco Lucas Pires (H-0333/95)
Om: Fiskeriforhandlinger mellem EU og Canada
Subject: Negotiations on fisheries between the EU and Canada
Hvad er årsagen til, at Kommissionen først har anklaget Canada for »sørøveri«, fordi landet med voldelige midler har forhindret den fri bevægelighed og fiskeri i internationalt farvand, og derefter støttet en aftale, som lovovertræderen som den eneste part drager fordel af, idet aftalen frikender Canada for den begåede lovovertrædelse og giver landet fiskekvoter, der er tre gange så høje som tidligere, mens »ofrene« (fællesskabslandene) straffes med et tab, der er fem gange så stort som deres tidligere kvote?
Why did the Commission accuse Canada of an 'act of piracy' for impeding freedom of movement and of fishing in the high seas using violent means, and then proceed to support an agreement which was only of benefit to the violator: Canada's earlier contraventions were pardoned and its fishing quota was three times greater, whilst the 'victims' (the Community states) were punished by a quota five times lower than before?
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Jeg mener ikke, at det er rimeligt at sige, at forbrydelse betaler sig, da man må spørge sig selv, hvad var formålet med forbrydelsen?
Brittan, Sir Leon. — I think that it is not fair to say that crime pays, because you have to ask yourself what was the object of the crime?
Formålet med forbrydelsen var at gøre Canada i stand til at udvide sine fiskerirettigheder og at jage de europæiske fiskefartøjer væk fra området.
The object of the crime was to enable Canada to extend its fishing rights and to drive away European fishing boats from the area.
Dette har man ikke opnået.
That has not been achieved.
Fiskeriet fortsatte og har ret til at fortsætte.
Fishing continued and will have the right to continue.
Formålet med forbrydelsen var at anlægge sag mod kaptajnen på Estai.
The object of the crime was to take action against the master of the Estai.
Denne sag har man ikke opnået.
That action has not been achieved.
Formålet med forbrydelsen var at befæste den formentlige NAFO-aftale, som giver Den Europæiske Union en latterlig lav tildeling. Dette har man heller ikke opnået.
The object of the crime was to consolidate the purported agreement by NAFO giving the European Union a ridiculously low allocation.
At sige, at forbrydelsen har opnået sit formål, er efter min opfattelse derfor ikke en rimelig beskrivelse af det endelige resultat.
So to say that the crime has achieved its objective, I do not think is a fair description of the final outcome.
Frem for alt er den internationale havret blevet håndhævet.
Above all, international law has been vindicated.
Det er gjort klart, at man ikke kan udvide de nationale farvande gennem handlinger af denne art. Det ærede medlem vil være bekendt med, at jeg mindede den canadiske regering om dette personligt under mit nylige besøg i Canada og blev ret så upopulær, fordi jeg gjorde det.
It has been made clear that you cannot extend national waters by acts of this kind. The honourable Member will be aware that I reminded the Canadian Government of that in person during the course of my recent visit to Canada and incurred quite a lot of unpopularity for doing so.
Jeg fortryder det ikke, da det er sandt.
I do not regret that because it is true.
Jeg mener derfor ikke, at vi har noget at bebrejde os selv, selv om jeg har sagt meget åbent, at vi selvfølgelig ikke har opnået ethvert mål i sin helhed.
I therefore do not think we have anything to reproach ourselves with although I have been quite open in saying that, of course, we have not achieved every objective in its totality.
Dette er klart tilfældet.
That is clearly the case.
Spørgsmålet er, om vi har gjort det så godt, som det kunne gøres under omstændighederne.
The question is whether we have done as well as could be done in the circumstances.
Historien vil bedømme det, men jeg mener, at det kun er rimeligt at fastslå, hvad der er gjort, og hvad der er opnået.
History will judge but I think it is only fair to put on the record what has been done and what has been achieved.
Sir Leon Brittan, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (EN) Lad mig allerførst minde Dem om, at siden Canada offentliggjorde en ny forordning, hvorved det gav sig selv bemyndigelse til at gribe ind over for udenlandske fartøjer uden for 200-sømile-
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — Let me first of all remind you that since Canada promulgated a new regulation empowering itself to take action against foreign vessels outside its 200-mile zone in 1994, the reaction of the Commission has been clear, firm and uncompromising in defending the principle of respect for international maritime law.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). — (ES) Jeg vil gerne rette en særlig tak til fru Bonino og også til hr. Leon Brittan for deres indsats for at få denne vanskelige aftale bragt i stand.
Izquierdo Rojo precedent for other countries, such as Argentina, which are seeking to change the limits of their territorial waters.
Som bekendt er fiskeriaftalen med Canada ikke særlig populær i Spanien, fordi den indebærer store ofre, og især fordi Canada har krænket international ret. Dette er en alvorlig sag, som etablerer en meget farlig præcedens for andre stater som Argentina, der prætenderer at ændre de internationale farvandes grænser.
sioner said, I think that we can have faith in the Commission and hold it responsible.
Så vidt jeg har forstået på kommissæren, vil Kommissionen påtage sig ansvaret for dette, så der ikke bliver grund til at vende tilbage til sagen med en lignende forespørgsel, når aftalen undertegnes.
There is no reason why, once the agreement has been sealed, we should have to repeat this kind of question on another occasion.
Vi må kræve, at Canada med fuld loyalitet overholder bestemmelserne i folkeretten såvel som de indgåede aftaler.
We must demand that Canada complies with international law in good faith, as well as with this agreement.
Hr. kommissær, Canada har endnu ikke opfyldt bestemmelserne i aftalen vedrørende Estai.
To date, Commissioner, Canada has still not complied with the terms of the agreement as regards the Estai.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Jeg er det ærede medlem taknemlig for det, han sagde, og det forslag, han stillede med hensyn til, hvordan forhandlingerne bør føres, er yderst fornuftigt.
Brittan, Sir Leon. — I am grateful to the honourable gentlemen for what he has said, and the request that he has made as to the way in which the negotiations should be conducted is an entirely reasonable one.
Jeg vil absolut viderebringe det med min støtte til dem, der fører forhandlingerne.
I will certainly convey it, with my endorsement, to those conducting the negotiations.
Vi må kræve, at Canada overholder de indgåede aftaler.
We must insist that Canada complies with what was agreed.
Det skal ligeledes understreges, at Canada fører en yderst illoyal kampagne i medierne.
And attention should also be drawn to the bad faith with which that country is conducting a propaganda campaign in the media.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Jeg er det ærede medlem taknemlig for det, hun sagde om mig og Emma Bonino, og jeg sætter meget stor pris på det.
Brittan, Sir Leon. — I am grateful to the honourable lady for what she has said about myself and Emma Bonino and I very much appreciate that.
Jeg er meget velvillig indstillet over for alt andet, hun sagde, og jeg kan forsikre hende om, at Kommissionen absolut vil kræve, at denne aftale gennemføres i sin helhed.
I have a lot of sympathy for all of the other points that she has made and I can assure her that the Commission will absolutely insist that this agreement is implemented in its entirety.
Formanden. — Vi går nu videre til anden halvdel af spørgetiden til Kommissionen.
President. — We pass now to the second half of Question Time to the Commission.
Der er to problemer af generel art, som efter min opfattelse er relevante her.
I believe that there are two general problems that are relevant here.
For det første ser vi igen og igen, at rationaliseringsinvesteringer, dvs. reduktion af antallet af arbejdspladser, bliver fremmet, og for det andet ser vi også igen og igen, at f.eks. et land fremmer rationalisering af en virksomhed med betydelig reduktion af antallet af arbejdspladser til følge, og at det pågældende firma, når der så er positive tal på bundlinjen, erklærer, at det nu i et andet land har mulighed for endnu en gang at få betydeligt større statsstøtte.
Firstly, we keep seeing rationalization invest ments i.e., cuts in jobs, being encouraged and, secondly, we keep seeing the rationalization of an enterprise together with substantial job cuts being encouraged in, say, one country while at the same time the enterprise in question declares, if it then makes profits, that it now has a chance to obtain considerably greater state aids again in another country.
Jeg refererer til helt konkrete tilfælde som f.eks. i øjeblikket Lufthansa i Schönefeld og i Shannon.
I am referring to quite specific cases, such as the case of Lufthansa in Schönefeld and in Shannon.
Således erklærer Luft hansa nu, at de lukker i Schönefeld, fordi de i Shannon kan få støtte i et omfang, de ikke havde regnet med.
Lufthansa is now stating that it is becoming viable in Schönefeld because it is obtaining more aid in Shannon than it had counted on.
Spørgsmål nr. 41 af Efthymios Christodoulou (H-0316/95): Om: Statsstøtte til den tyrkiske stålindustri
Question No 41 by Efthymios Christodoulou (H-0316/95)
Spørgsmålet er: Hvordan kan vi sørge for, at Community Rules on Competition udelukker dette?
The question is: how can we ensure that the Community rules on competition prevent this?
Hvordan kan Kommissionen sikre, at der ikke flere gange bliver brugt fællesskabsmidler til fremme af afviklingen af arbejdspladser?
How can the Commission ensure that European aid to encourage job cuts is not granted more than once?
Sir Leon Brittan. — f£7V) Jeg tror, at det ærede medlem vil acceptere, at det, han sagde, går noget ud over spørgsmålet om tyrkisk stål.
Brittan, Sir Leon. — I think the honourable gentleman will accept that the point that he raised goes somewhat beyond the question of Turkish steel.
Men ikke desto mindre rejser det vigtige og interessante spørgsmål, som jeg vil gøre den ansvarlige kommissær opmærksom på.
Nonetheless, it raises important and interesting issues which I will draw to the attention of the Commissioner responsible.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 42 af Doeke Eisma (H-0250/95):
President. - Question No 42 by Doeke Eisma (H-0250/95)
Kan Kommissionen bekræfte, at den er i færd med at forberede en særlig frihandelsordning med Tyrkiet inden for EKSF's stålsektor med en overgangsperiode (der tales om 5 år), i løbet af hvilken der vil blive ydet statsstøtte?
Can the Commission confirm reports that it is drawing up special free trade arrangements with Turkey in the field of iron and steel (ECSC), which provide for a transitional period of state aid, possibly lasting five years?
Vil man i givet fald inden for rammerne af denne ordning forudse en gradvis reduktion, således som tilfældet var i forbindelse med landene i Central- og Østeuropa, eller en genetablering af balancen i den tyrkiske produktion?
If so, will these arrangements provide for a progressive reduction (as was provided in the case of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe), or a restoration of the balance in Turkish production?
Hvorledes kan en sådan ordning begrundes, og hvorfor stiller Kommissionen ikke forslag om en regional sikker hedsklausul, hvilket EISA (European Independend Steelworks Association) skulle have fremsat ønske om?
What is the justification for this arrangement and why has the Commission not proposed a regional safeguard clause, as the European Independent Steelworks Association (EISA) seems to be advocating?
Om: Europarådets deltagelse i forberedelsen af regerings konferencen i 1996
Subject: Involvement of the Council of Europe in preparations for the 1996 IGC
Kommissionen bedes redegøre for resultatet af drøftelsen den 6. marts 1995 mellem Daniel Tarschys, Europarådets generalsekretær, og Jacques Santer.
Will the Commission explain the outcome of the talks between Daniel Tarschys, Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, and Jacques Santer on 6 March 1995?
Agter Kommissionen at lade Europarådet deltage i forberedelsen af regeringskonferencen i 1996, og hvilke tanker har Kommissionen gjort sig over samarbejdet mellem EU og Europarådet?
Does it propose involving the Council of Europe in preparations for the 1996 IGC, and what are its ideas for cooperation between the EU and the Council of Europe?
Sir Leon Brittan, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (EN) Jeg kan bekræfte, at Kommissionen for øjeblikket deltager i uformelle drøftelser med de tyrkiske myndigheder om handel med produkter, der er omfattet af EKSF-traktaten, men at der endnu, ikke er etableret nogen ordning.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — 1 can confirm that the Commission is currently engaged in informal talks with the Turkish authorities concerning trade in products covered by the ECSC Treaty but that no regime has yet been set up.
Formålet med disse uformelle drøftelser er at finde ud af, om Fællesskabet og Tyrkiet kan oprette et frihandelsområde for sådanne produkter, hvilket vil supplere toldunionen for EF-produkter.
These informal talks are designed to see whether the Community and Turkey can set up a free trade area in respect of such products, which would complement the customs union for EC products.
På nuværende tidspunkt er der endnu ikke modtaget nogen formelle forhandlingsdirektiver fra Rådet, hvorfor det ikke er muligt at gå i detaljer med spørgsmålet.
At this stage, no formal negotiating directives have been obtained from the Council so it is not possible to go into the detail of the subject.
Men jeg kan forsikre det ærede medlem om, at et af hovedmålene med en sådan aftale vil være at sikre, at Tyrkiet anvender EF-reglerne for konkurrence og statsstøtte over for sin stålindustri.
But 1 can reassure the honourable Member that one of the main objectives of such an agreement would be to ensure that Turkey applies the Community rules in respect of competition and state aids to its steel industry.
Jeg kan også forsikre det ærede medlem om, at en sådan aftale vil blive ledsaget af en passende sikkerhedsklausul eller -klausuler, som skal give de berørte dele af fællesskabsindustrien en tilstrækkelig og effektiv beskyttelse.
I can also assure the honourable Member that any such agreement would be accompanied by an appropriate safeguard clause or clauses designed to confer adequate and effective protection on the affected parts of Community industry.
Oreja Aguirre, medlem af Kommissionen. — (ES) Hr. for mand, jeg vil gerne takke hr. Eisma for hans spørgsmål.
Oreja Aguirre, Member of the Commission. — (ES) Mr President, I thank Mr Eisma for his question.
Det kan ikke komme som en overraskelse for nogen, at jeg er særlig lydhør over for betydningen af forbindelserne mellem Europarådet og Den Europæiske Union, da jeg i fem år har haft den ære at være generalsekretær for den førstnævnte af disse organisationer og i løbet af denne periode har gjort alt, hvad der stod i min magt for at fremme ikke alene normaliserede forbindelser, men også en institutionalisering af forbindelser ne.
It will not surprise the House that I am particularly sensitive to the importance of relations between the Council of Europe and the European Union: I had the honour of being Secretary-General of the Council of Europe for five years, and throughout that period. I made all possible efforts to ensure that relations between the two organizations were not only regularized, but institutionalized.
Christodoulou (PPE). — (EL) Jeg takker næstformanden for hans svar.
Christodoulou (PPE). — (EL) Thank you. Commissioner, for your answer.
Jeg vil geme opfordre til, at man under de kommende forhandlinger med den tyrkiske regering tager i
Our industry has had to shed so many jobs and endure so much pain in order to attain the right level of rationalization.
