Kokkola (PSE). - (EL) Tak, hr. rådsrepræsentant, for Deres svar. Tillad mig med al respekt at betragte det som en smule upræcist.
It would be impossible to eliminate arguments among Eu ropean Union Members on an issue like that.
Og selv med al min agtelse for forskningen og biologien og videnskabens udvikling, så vil jeg ikke skjule for Dem, at når det bliver til et spørgsmål om etik og vi dermed når frem til kloningen af mennesker, ja så bliver jeg, og mange med mig, bange.
The important thing about the code is that it establishes a common criteria and a way of ensuring that those common criteria are applied, although it must always include an element of judgement.
Mange menne sker og mange videnskabsfolk har udtrykt deres mod stand mod noget sådant.
I think those who are involved in the detail of those decisions will recognize the need for that judgement.
Jeg vil derfor gerne bede Dem om så vidt muligt under Deres formandskab at få anvendt de muligheder, som De har til rådighed, for ellers frygter jeg, at det er ved at være for sent.
Bertens (ELDR). - (NL) I thank the President-in-Office for his reply. I congratulate him on the fact that the British Presidency now wholeheartedly agrees with what we have been requesting here for so long.
Jeg håber, at dette giver den forsikring, som det ærede medlem var ude efter.
If so, then I think this would be excellent.
Rådet har udstedt lignende udtalelser og erklæringer om situationen i Burundi, senest den 7. januar 1998.
Henderson. -1 understand the point that has been made about developing countries.
Rådet har også noteret sig forslaget til beslutning om et adfærdskodeks vedrørende våbeneksport, der blev vedtaget af Europa-Parlamentet under dets mødeperiode fra den 12. til den 16Januar 1998.
It would obviously be a misuse of aid if aid given for other purposes were used to purchase military equipment.
Støtter Rådet princippet om, at der med tiden nedsættes et etisk udvalg for hele Europa?
They need to have law and order in ternally and there is a need for defence externally.
Det Europæiske Råd understregede ved dets møde i Amsterdam den 16./17. juni 1997 den vitale rolle, som en fælles international indsats vil spille for en ordentlig regulering af våbeneksporten, og opfordrede til en udvikling af en sammenhængende våbeneksportkontrolpolitik over hele Unionen på basis af de fælles kriterier, der er fastsat i konklusionerne fra Det Europæiske Råds møder den 29. juni 1991 og den 26727. juni 1992.
I would like to say in conclusion that it would seem better to me, when it concerns consultation about which countries does what with another, that this should not be so much a bilateral consultation, but a multilateral consultation, because only then will the code of conduct become a code for all countries.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg kan sige til det ærede medlem, at jeg ikke udelukker dette.
Henderson. -1 can say to the honourable gentlemen that I agree with him that it is important to have a multilateral approach which is why this code has been proposed by the Presidency in the first place.
Det kan være, at det er én måde, hvorpå vi kan komme videre i denne sag.
I have also indicated that eventually it has to have a wider application than purely within the European Union.
For det første er der en opregning af de otte fælles kriterier, der blev vedtaget i 1991 og 1992, og som er i overensstemmelse
In some developing countries where there has been a period of crisis and anarchy one of the first things to establish any economic recovery is to bring about a degree of law and order and it may be appropriate for aid expenditure to help to bring about that process.
Da følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi un der ét behandle spørgsmål nr. 7, 8 og 9.
It may be that some hardware has to be part of that and in deed I know of some examples where that is the case and I would say it was legitimate.
Henderson med Det Forenede Kongeriges nationale kriterier, der blev meddelt af den britiske udenrigsminister den 28 Juli 1997.
It is an important starting point but it is not the end of the matter.
Europa og til, at de mennesker, der er involveret i denne dødbringende handel, omgående bliver bragt for retten?
Lindqvist (ELDR). - (SV) I wonder whether this really is a job for the EU.
Vi har tidligt i dag talt om vanskelighederne i relation til våbenleverandører til Irak.
Is there not a great risk that this could involve a militarization of the EU cooperation?
De er lige så slemme i dette til fælde.
I do not think that is in line with what most citizens consider to be our job.
De første reaktioner har været meget støttende, og det er målet, at kodeksen skal vedtages ved en rådserklæring un der dette formandskab.
In the EU there would be different rules to those we have, not necessarily worse, but certainly different and with a different basis.
Henderson. - (EN) Jeg takker det ærede medlem for hans spørgsmål.
Truscott (PSE). - Can I say to the President-in-Office that I welcome as a good first step the code of conduct for the arms trade which is designed to prevent arms being used for either internal repression or external aggression.
Jeg kan kun henvise ham til mit tidligere svar til den tidligere spørger. Vi er ikke bekendt med, at der finder nogen våbenhandel sted på den måde, som han la der forstå.
The President-in-Office has answered my question about how undercutting can be prevented in Europe between EU Member States when they are selling arms to a third country, but perhaps the President-in-Office would like to consider the question of end use which has often created problems in the past in tracing the eventual recipient country.
Hvis han har oplysninger herom, vil jeg gerne se på dem og vurdere dem med henblik på yderligere overvejelser.
Would he like to perhaps give a response on the issue of end use?
Jeg er ikke helt sikker på, at det har været helt nemt eller behageligt hele tiden.
Will they call for majority decisions or unanimity? Who will make the decisions?
Formanden. - Da følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi under ét behandle spørgsmål 10,11,12 og 13.
Finally, is it in tended that the EU regulations should replace national regulations on weapons exports to other countries, or will the national regulations even be taken over?
Spørgsmål nr. 10 af Patricia McKenna (H-0020/98):
Henderson. -1 am grateful to the honourable Member for that question because it raises another very real problem which has to be addressed in the code.
Jeg vil gerne vende tilbage til spørgsmålet om Burundi, som mit spørgsmål gik på.
My current think ing - although Ido not have a completely closed mind on it - is that there has to be an element of discretion.
Det er en kendsgerning, at 36 % af Burundis budget for nærværende bruges på for svar, og det er meget mere, end landet bruger på sundhed og uddannelse til sammen.
Judgments have to be made not only on the likelihood of those arms being used for internal repression or external aggression but the likelihood of where that will happen.
Kan rådsformanden bekræfte, at en medlemsstat, der har koloniforbindelser til denne Afrikas Great Lakes-region, stadig ikke vil gå ind for hverken en international eller en europæisk våbensalgsembargo mod Burundi?
In other words, will the arms be resold to some other party and, when they are resold, would there be a high likelihood of internal repression or external aggression?
Om: Forslag til en EU-adfærdskodeks for våbenhandel del
Henderson. -1 can say to Mr Lindqvist that there was in fact a discussion on some of those matters in the working group which, took place yesterday.
Den britiske regering har lovet i løbet af sit EU-for-mandskab at arbejde for en europæisk adfærdskodeks med høje fælles standarder for våbeneksport.
Clearly, for a frame work agreement to come about there would need to be unanimity among Union Members on the way that the code would work.
Jeg vil også gerne spørge rådsformanden, om det ikke ville være en god idé at reaktivere UNICOI, der var en un dersøgelseskommission, der blev nedsat, da vi have krisen i Rwanda?
It is probably extremely difficult to deal with that other than on the basis of giving discretion to the nation which would initially be making the export order.
Ville det ikke være passende, hvis vi udvidede dens mandat til også at omfatte Burundi?
However, it may be that there can be some facility for an exchange of views on this matter so that as full information as possible is always made available to all European Union Member States.
Efter min mening - og jeg håber også, at det vil være Rådets mening - ville den bistå os i vores bestræbelser på at sætte en stopper for våbensmuglingen ind i Burundi, ja og inden for hele Great Lakes-området.
It may be that an obligation should be written into the code that where a Member State believes there is a further follow-through trade in arms, that information should be made available to European Union Member States.
Fire ikkestatslige organisationer (NGO'er) - Oxfam, Amnesty International, Saferworld og Basic - har for nylig offentliggjort et dokument med orientering om de vigtigste standarder, der burde opstilles i en sådan adfærdskodeks.
If another country then decides that they wish to take up those export orders they will be bound by the Court to come back to the original country which would then stimulate a dialogue on the rights or wrongs of the arms sale taking place.
I dokumentet anføres det, at eksport af krigsmateriel ikke burde finde sted til lande, der er kendt for manglende respekt for menneskerettighederne, eller som bruger en større del af deres BNP til dækning af militærudgifter end til sundhed og uddannelse.
The problem of the current situation where there is no code which is effective arises when one country says 'we do not believe that arms should be sold to a third country because of the likelihood of internal repression or external aggression, but if we do notsell them somebody else will and it will be trading our jobs for somebody else's jobs and therefore we should not make the decision initially to block the sale'.
Kan Rådet give nærmere oplysninger om de frem skridt, der er sket med hensyn til udarbejdelsen af en adfærdskodeks om våbenhandel?
Crawley (PSE). - I too welcome the UK Presidency's proposal for establishing an EU Code of Conduct on the arms trade.
Hvornår forventer det at afslutte arbejdet med udarbejdelsen af en sådan adfærdskodeks?
It is the logical development and follow-on from the United Kingdom's new ethical foreign policy and, although nothing is ever good enough for the Greens, I wanted the UK President-in-Office to know that the majority of Members in this House think this is a very serious and historic first step.
Hvad angår det særlige spørgsmål, som hun har rejst, så har jeg ikke kendskab til nogen EU-stat, der bevidst eks porterer våben til Burundi, og som vil blokere en eventuel foranstaltning med henblik på at forhindre et sådant salg.
I want to know if the Presidency will take back to the troika the eagerness this House has for consultation, for being able to follow the guidelines, for being able to see where best practice is developing as the code is pro gressed throughout the year.
Hvis fru Kinnock har oplysninger, der kan bekræfte det, hun lod os forstå, ville jeg med glæde se nærmere på disse oplysninger med henblik på at tage sagen op til yderligere overvejelse.
This House may want at some point to establish an annual debate on the code. Would the President-in-Office assure us that our eager ness to be involved is taken back to the troika?
Spørgsmål nr. 11 af Elisabeth Schroedter (H-0116/98):
The purpose of the code is to get over that very important issue because the arms industry is a big industry in a number of European Union countries.
Om: Indførelse af en EU-adfærdskodeks om våben handel under det britiske formandskab
The workpeople in that industry are saying 'why should it be our jobs that are sacrificed if someone else is going tojump in and take the order up in another country?'.
Jeg vil gerne spørge ham, om han har set de oplysninger, der er tilvejebragt af Human Rights Watch, og som viser, at der er foregået ret så mange aktiviteter med base i Oostende? Finder han ikke, at det er vigtigt, at der øjeblikkelig bliver taget drastiske initiativer til at forhindre flere våben i at blive leveret fra
There need to be other industrial policies which Member States adopt, or which might be part of an em ployment strategy for the Union itself, which would also address the needs of those workers who are no longer able to get employment in handling those export orders and who have to look for redeployment conversion and so on.
Det Forenede Kongerige og Frankrig har i fællesskab udarbejdet et forslag til adfærdskodeks, som man nu er blevet enig om. Bestemmelserne i adfærdskodeksen om konsultationer er meget svage, da der kun op fordres til konsultationer mellem de lande, som di-

But all the better, I suppose, for the restaurant trade in this fine city, and the fine restaurants in it.
Hvilken virkning vil adfærdskodeksen efter Rådet op fattelse få for våbeneksporten fra EU?
vide of Parliament. That reflects a very practical under standing of some of the very difficult issues.
Vil det f.eks. bringe eksporten af lette våben og pansrede mandskabskøretøjer til Indonesien eller angrebshelikoptere til Tyrkiet til ophør?
I am very aware of them myself, as there is a large tank factory on the edge of my. old constituency back in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in northern England.
Medmindre der gennemføres en omhyggelig kontrol med den endelige bruger af våben og militært udstyr, vil legitime eksportforsendelser kunne omledes til un dertrykkende regimer og lande i ustabile områder.
The people working in that factory and the sub-contractors are very aware of this difficult problem.
Af taler om den endelige bruger bør være juridisk bin dende aftaler, og der bør indføres en ordning for kontrol med overholdelsen af endelig brugerklausuler.
They have as ethical a view of foreign policy as any one else but it is their job which is at stake.
Hvilke bestemmelser vil adfærdskodeksen indeholde om kontrol med den endelige bruger af våben og militært udstyr?
I believe there is an awareness already of the issue he raised with me this afternoon and, on the basis of that in formation, it should be possible for action to follow.
Henderson, formand for Rådet. - (EN) Behovet for en yderligere harmonisering af de nationale våbeneksportpolitikker er blevet rejst på forskellige niveauer inden for Rådet.
Ford (PSE). - I would be delighted to have dinner with Mr Henderson.
Disse kriterier omfatter især overholdelse af menneskerettighederne i det land, der er bestemmelsesstedet for eksporten.
I am not so sure that Mr Watts is going to want to have dinner with me after my supplementary.
Spørgsmål nr. 12 af Karin Riis-Jørgensen (H-0153/98): Om: Fælles EU-kodeks for våbeneksport
I have always believed that people like them and in other similar positions will be prepared to make a sacrifice, to look for diversification, if they know that their efforts are not going to be undermined by others.
Formandskabet bedes redegøre for, hvilke initiativer formandskabet i indeværende halvår har i sinde at tage til sikring af, at der skabes en fælles EU-kodeks for våbeneksport.
That is where the code is, in a very practical way, extremely desirable. I wish that those in this House who have doubts would recognize the importance of that point.
Herunder bedes formandskabet rede gøre for formålet med og indholdet af en sådan fælles EU-kodeks for våbenkodeks.
I can assure the honourable Member that I will come back on the matter she has raised as I think it is an important issue which should have the widest consideration.
Ligeledes bedes formandskabet redegøre for, hvornår en eventuel fælles EU-kodeks kan ventes implementeret. teret.
While, of course, we are entirely opposed to any form of unnecessary animal cruelty, I welcome the President-in-Office's caution in this matter.
Spørgsmål nr. 13 af Jan Bertens (H-0161/98):
President - Question No 14 by Mark Watts (H-0022/98)
Om: Den europæiske politik med hensyn til våbeneksportkontrol portkontrol
Subject: Slaughter of sheep in France for the Eid-El-Kabir festival
I denne sammenhæng har Det Forenede Kongerige, som jeg tidligere nævnte, sammen med Frankrig, forelagt et forslag om en EU-adfærdskodeks, der fastsætter høje fællesstandarder for medlemsstaternes våbeneksport.
Last year in France there were problems around this festival but they were much exaggerated by people like Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front national, a man who has more con cern about animal welfare than the death of 6 000 000 Jews in the Second World War.
De fastslår blandt andet, at en tilladelse bør af vises i de tilfælde, hvor der er en klart identificerbar risiko for, at den foreslåede eksport kan anvendes til intern un dertrykkelse eller international aggression.
In the light of previous infringements of Community legislation, and in particular those occurring in April 1997 when the mass ritual slaughter of sheep in France for the Eid-El-Kabir festival caused enormous public outrage, what efforts will the Council be making to ensure that no further infringements are allowed to take place either this year or in subsequent years?
Jeg ønsker her at give udtryk for min tilfredshed med det initiativ, det britiske formandskab har taget med henblik på at skærpe bestemmelserne vedrørende våbeneksportkontrol.
Henderson, President-in-Office of the Council. - The Council has no knowledge of the events referred to in the honourable Member's question.
De eksisterende kriterier, der stammer fra 1991 og 1992, er blevet fortolket meget bredt og forskelligt, hvorfor der ikke har været mulig hed for en koordineret europæisk våbeneksportpolitik. tik.
It would, however, take this opportunity to point out that it is primarily for the Member State concerned to ensure compliance with Community legislation in its territory and, where appropriate, for the Commission, pursuant to Article 155 of the Treaty, to take the necessary measures to ensure that any infringements of that legislation are duly punished.
Det ærede medlem ved måske også, at den italienske delegation forelagde Rådet et for slag om gennemførelse af de otte fælles kriterier ved dets møde den 10. november 1997.
As the honourable Member will no doubt deduce from these remarks, this is a question which clearly falls within the competence of the Commission and not primarily of the Council.
Deler Rådet min opfattelse, nemlig at kriterierne bør være mere konkrete eller mindre åbne for fortolkning, og at deres gennemførelse bør være bindende for at af hjælpe manglerne i de eksisterende kriterier?
Elliott (PSE). - This is a very difficult issue because it brings into conflict concern for animal welfare and the need to respect the religious views of ethnic minorities. But.there has to be a limit somewhere.
Mener Rådet også ligesom jeg, at det er nødvendig med en multilateral høring af medlemsstaterne med henblik på at nå frem til en effektiv håndhævelse af de euro pæiske eksportkriterier?
I would ask the President-in-Office to assure us that the Council, bearing in mind what was agreed in a new article in the Treaty of Amsterdam on respect for animal welfare, will make clear that if minority groups expect that we should respect their religious rights - and, of course, we should - then the views of those who hold that deliberate cruelty to animals is morally offensive and unacceptable will also be re spected.
Hvilken rolle har Rådet givet Europa-Parlamentet i forbindelse med udarbejdelsen af den nye eksportkontrolpolitik og den praktiske håndhævelse af de gældende regler?
It was very encouraging when we had the British minister responsible for animal welfare, Mr Elliot Morley, here last month at the Intergroup for Animal Welfare and heard the positive view he expressed on the initiatives that will be taken under the British Presidency.
McKenna (V). - (EN) Hvad den foreslåede adfærdskodeks angår, er der ret så mange mangelfuldheder forbundet med den.
Watts (PSE). - I thank the President-in-Office for his most helpful answer.
F.eks. det, at kun våbeneksporterende lande vil være i stand til at bestemme, hvem der køber deres våben, hvis adfærdskodeksen vedtages.
I know that the Presidency shares my concern about animal welfare but I recognize its di lemma which is that it operates as the Council while the Commission is the guardian of the Treaties.
Det betyder, at lande som Irland, der ikke har nogen større våbenindustri, kun vil få meget lidt at skulle have sagt med hensyn til, hvordan EU-våbenpolitikken bliver gennemført.
Nonetheless, I would invite the Council to become familiar with this outrage that took place last year.
Dette synes at være en version af »selv blandt tyveknægte er der en vis æresfølelse«, idet det er de lande, der er involveret i våbenindustrien, der vil træffe beslutningerne, og de lande, som har en etisk holdning til våbeneksport, der ikke vil få noget at skulle have sagt.
We fear that it will occur again on 7 April, although the Commissioner himself in formed this House that the infringements that took place last year were in breach of regulations and promised to act.
Desuden er der behov
So far he has failed to do so.
ligt, at den tyrkiske regering får våben som hidtil for at be kæmpe den kurdiske befolkning og bombardere den kurdiske befolkning.
But could you please state what specific measures the British Presidency plans to take in favour of consumers?
Er det stadig muligt? Vi stillede dette konkrete spørgsmål, og vi vil gerne have et konkret svar.
In coming to a decision on legislation in these matters a balance has to be struck on a number of issues.
Vi spurgte Dem også, og det endda skriftligt, om De har planlagt en kontrol af metoden og også en kontrol af den endelige forbruger, og hvordan det konkret ser ud.
But once that balance is struck and once the legislative position is clear, then it is incumbent on all of us to make sure the law is adhered to.
Jeg be der Dem om, at De besvarer disse spørgsmål, som De fik forelagt rettidigt, lige så konkret, som de blev stillet.
The Commission has an important role to play in relation to European law in that regard.
Sidste spørgsmål: De sagde, at der er positive reaktioner.
Henderson. -1 am grateful for the question from the honourable gentleman but I have to say that I am not pleading guilty to his allegation.
Hvor kom disse positive reaktioner dog fra?
There is a very positive agenda.
Måske fra våbenindustrien?
There is certainly a very heavy agenda for the April Con sumer Council.
Formålet med at have en politik på EU-plan er at forsøge at nå frem til en overensstemmelse over hele Unionen med henblik på med tiden at nå frem til en større overensstemmelse uden for Den Europæiske Union, som er lige så vigtig.
In view of the announcement that one of the priorities of the British Presidency will be consumer protection, can the Council state what measures will be proposed and what their orientation will be?
Henderson. - (EN) Der er rejst mange punkter i den ærede dames spørgsmål.
The general thrust of all the proposals is that there should be minimum standards.
Jeg kan ikke acceptere, at der skulle være nogen større mangelfuldheder i den kodeks, der er foreslået.
This does not prevent any particular Member State deciding that they want to have better standards.
Denne kodeks er et væsentligt fremskridt, der samler EU-landene omkring, hvad der er deres ansvar i relation til våbensalg.
The important thing is to make progress and to bring in improved minimum standards so that all Euro pean citizens across the whole of the European Union can benefit in the way that businesses can from the single market.
Den sørger for gennemsigtighed, således at disse lande ved, hvad der sker i relation til de andre EU-landes våbensalg.
This is a very important principle and I believe it is one that will receive a large area of support from con sumers and citizens throughout the whole of the European Union.
