Det er en meget alvorlig hændelse, men den skal ses i perspektiv, og der skal tages hensyn til hele udviklingen i Cuba og grundlaget for Kommissionens politik over for Cuba, der sigter mod at fremme reformer og større respekt for menneskerettighederne.
How will the Commission take these incidents into account when drawing up the negotiating directives, and wiU this involve reviewing the agenda?
Men dette er bestemt en plet på drøftelserne.
In short: what repercussions will these incidents have?
Har Kommissionen offentligt taget afstand fra episoden? den?
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. -The Commission shares the concerns about prison labour in China.
Har Kommissionen kendskab til, at adskillige medlem mer af organisationen Det Cubanske Råd er blevet tilbageholdt i Havana?
In the Commission's communication on relations with China currently being studied by the Foreign Affairs Committee, we stressed how human rights issues remained at the heart of our relations with China.
Ephremidis (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Hr. formand, et ganske kort spørgsmål vedrørende nedskydningen af de to fly.
Brittan, Sir Leon. - I cannot give you an account of the specific conversations that have been referred to.
FN's Sikkerhedsråd fordømte nedskydningen, men ikke enstemmigt.
The Commission has made its views very clear, including by the answer to this question.
To af de permanente medlemmer stemte imod, de nedlagde blot ikke veto.
How matters proceed will depend not only on the Commission's view but also on the attitude in the Council.
Hvad angår Rådets fordømmelse, kender Parlamentet ikke begrundelsen herfor og ved ikke, hvilke oplysninger den bygger på.
This is a very serious incident but it has to be seen in perspective, taking into account all
Mit spørgsmål lyder: er Kommissionen informeret om, hvordan sagen forholder sig? Er den informeret om, at disse to amerikanske fly med kendte cubanere, bosiddende
In the communication we also signalled the importance of International Labour Organization standards on prison labour in our broader economic dialogue with China.
Mener Kommissionen, at disse begivenheder er i overensstemmelse med den respekt for menneskerettighederne og de demokratiske friheder, som Europa-Parlamentet i sin seneste beslutning om Cuba har opstillet som en ufravigelig betingelse for enhver udbygning af forbindelserne med landet?
Article 20 of the GATT authorizes contracting parties to suspend the normal MFN obUgations on goods produced by prison labour but it is difficult to identify goods originating in prisons.
Netop for at forsvare frihandelen er det uhyre afgørende og uhyre væsentligt at slå ned på disse fænomener.
But we do regard the matter as important and hope to increase our support for these children and those looking after them during the course of the year.
Jeg har haft samtaler med Harry Wu om dette spørgsmål og er klar over hans stærke engagement i det. Det glædede mig at høre, at Sir Leon oplever det på samme måde, og at han på Kommissionens og Den Europæiske Unions vegne gør sit bedste for at få bugt med disse uacceptable forhold.
We have supported an increased role for the WTO in the area of trade and basic social rights, not to undermine the competitive advantages of developing countries but to ensure that shared values and essential social rights in areas such as prison labour, child labour and freedom of association take their proper place in the multilateral world trading system.
i Florida, om bord jævnligt har krænket en uafhængig republiks, en FN-medlemsstats nationale, suveræne rettigheder - til lands, til vands og i luften?
Truscott (PSE). -1 thank the Commissioner for his reply.
Hvis det var Deres land, noget sådant gik ud over, hr. kommissær, hvad ville kommissærerne så gøre efter gentagne klager?
Given his concern for the reputation of the Commission and all its works, I would like to ask a supplementary which is relevant to that although not directly relevant to the question.
Ville De tolerere en krænkelse som denne af Deres lands nationale, suveræne rettigheder? Vil De tage dette i betragtning, når De undersøger sagen, som De sagde, De ville gøre, så Deres beslutning er i overensstemmelse med de faktiske forhold?
Would the Commissioner confirm that investigations into the activities of Michael Emerson are continuing and furthermore could he reassure the House that there will be a fuU audit of the TACIS and BISTRO programmes and the £600m spent in Russia over the last five years?
Sir Leon Brittan. - (EN) Der vil altid være mennesker, der undskylder diktatoriske styrer, men jeg tror, at civiliserede mennesker vil betragte nedskydningen af disse fly som en fuldstændig uberettiget reaktion på, hvad der skete.
Brittan, Sir Leon. - I have answered the question about Chinese orphanages.
Anden Del: Spørgsmål til bestemte kommissærer
President - As the author is not present, Question No 39 lapses.
Spørgsmål nr. 37 af Hadar Cars
It is important to make it clear that it is a question of defending free trade.
Sir Leon Brittan. - (EN) Tak for Deres ,ord om Kommissionens svar.
Brittan, Sir Leon. - Thank you for what you have said about the Commission's response.
Det var anden gang, at vi mødtes med de kinesiske myndigheder inden for rammerne af en specifik dialog om menneskerettighederne, og for første gang accepterede de kinesiske myndigheder at drøfte alle vore bekymringer, herunder både strukturelle emner - såsom fængsler og det retlige system - og enkeltsager.
It was in fact the second time that we had met the Chinese authorities in the framework of a specific human rights dialogue and, for the first time, the Chinese authorities have agreed to discuss the full range of our concerns, including both structural issues - such as prisons and the legal system - and individual cases.
Mange kinesiske regeringsorganisationer deltog i drøftelserne den 22. og 24. januar, så drøftelserne skete med dele af den kinesiske administration, som vi aldrig før har haft kontakt med. Jeg siger ikke, at der var tale om et gennembrud, men vi har bestemt vist, hvad vi mener, og har på den måde gjort et vist fremskridt.
A wide range of Chinese government organizations was involved in the discussions on human rights with China on 22 and 24 January, so the debate was taken into parts of the Chinese administration with whom we had previously had no contact. I am not suggesting that we made a breakthrough but we have certainly demonstrated our concern and have made some progress in that way.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 38 af Peter Truscott (H-0162/96):
President - (H-0162/96)
Hvordan kan vi i EU - hvor vi er overbevist om menneskerettighedernes værdi - forvisse os om, at ingen af vore bestræbelser for at støtte den internationale handel indebærer nogen som helst støtte til kinesiske fabrikker, der anvender tvangsarbejde, og som drives af politiske fangers slid og blod?
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. -The Commission is aware that Korea's exports have been gaining ground in certain sectors, but it is the case that in bilateral trade the European Union stUl enjoys a surplus. The Republic of Korea is currently implementing plans to liberalize both foreign exchange and interest rates.
Kommissionen bedes fremlægge de seneste oplysninger om umenneskelig behandling i Kinas statslige børnehjem.
Can the Commissioner update Parliament with respect to the abuses perpetrated by China's state orphanages?
Desuden bedes den oplyse, om den vil være rede til at kommentere visse medlemsstaters ministres holdning, idet de tilsyneladende ser igennem fingre med dette spørgsmål under drøftelser med Kina, som den britiske udenrigsminister gjorde under sit besøg i landet for nylig?
Is the Commission prepared to comment on actions by Ministers of Member States who apparently ignore this issue in discussions with China, as did the UK Foreign Secretary on his recent visit?
Sir Leon Brittan, næstformand i Kommissionen. - (EN) Kommissionen deler bekymringen over tvangsarbejde i kinesiske fængsler.
You have announced a more aggressive trade policy in relation to countries outside the Union.
I Kommissionens meddelelse om for holdet til Kina, der for tiden gennemgås i Udvalget om Udenrigsanliggender, understreger vi, i hvor høj grad menneskerettighederne er det centrale i vort forhold til Kina.
I think one of the aims of that policy must be to keep a record of trade barriers encountered by European firms when trading with countries in Asia, for example.
Sidste år henvendte vi os til de kinesiske myndigheder i forbindelse med Harry Wu, og for et par uger siden drøftede vi under samtaler med Kina menneskerettigheder, det retlige system og forholdet i fængsler.
If a Danish firm comes to you and says that it has competition problems because of Korea's monetary policy, will you take such a complaint as evidence of a barrier to trade and, if so, will you take action against Korea in the Ught of the trade poUcy strategy you have just adopted?
Sir Leon Brittan, næstformand i Kommissionen. - (EN) Som jeg sagde her i Parlamentet i januar, er Kommissionen særdeles bekymret over situationen i de kinesiske børnehjem.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. -As I said to the House in January, the Commission is gravely concerned at the situation in orphanages in China.
Siden jeg talte her, er emnet blevet rejst over for de kinesiske myndigheder i forbindelse med samtalen mellem EU og Kina om menneskerettigheder i Beijing, som jeg henviste til i mit svar på det foregående spørgsmål.
Since I spoke to the House the issue has been raised with the Chinese authorities at the EU-China bUateral dialogue on human rights in Beijing which I referred to in answer to the previous question.
De kinesiske myndigheder accepterede, at trojkaen besøgte et børnehjem i det nordlige Beijing, og også at generalkonsulerne i Shanghai kan besøge »No 2 Children's Welfare Home« på Chong Ming-øen, der var med i rapporten fra Human Rights Watch.
The Chinese authorities agreed to a visit by the Troika to an orphanage in North Beijing and further that the Consuls-General in Shanghai should be able to visit the 'No 2 Children's Welfare Home' on Chong Ming island which was featured in the Human Rights Watch report.
Begge besøg har fundet sted.
Both visits have taken place.
Vi overvejer sammen med vore NGO-partnere, hvordan vi bedst kan øge støtten til de forældreløse børn i Kina.
With our NGO partners we are considering how best to increase support for orphans in China.
Parlamentet vil erindre, at kun Kommissionen og Belgien i Den Europæiske Union havde støttet programmer for de kinesiske børnehjem før rapporten fra Human Rights Watch.
The House will recall that only the Commission and Belgium in the European Union had support for programmes for Chinese orphanages before the Human Rights Watch report.
Cars (ELDR). - (SV) Hr. formand, jeg er meget tilfreds med det svar, som Sir Leon Brittan gav mig.
Brittan, Sir Leon. - We have obviously looked carefuUy at whatever was said and we would want to establish exactly what the nature of the problem was.
Om: Euro-Asiatiske topmøde i Bangkok mentet om, at der vil blive afholdt en fuld høring af TACIS-og BISTRO-programmerne og de £600 millioner, der er bragt i Rusland i de seneste fem år?
Subject: Euro­Asian Summit in Bangkok
Sir Leon Brittan. - (EN) Jeg har besvaret spørgsmålet om de kinesiske børnehjem
Subject: Market in ceramic tiles
Formanden. - Da taleren ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 39.
The Patent Office in Munich (and, subsequently, other European patent offices) have granted the German citizen Harald DUler exclusive use, in Germany and in other European countries, of the trademark 'cotto' for quaUty ceramic products.
Med henvisning til det Euro-Asiatiske topmøde den 1. og 2. marts i Bangkok, bedes Kommissionen oplyse, hvilke skridt den overvejer for at følge topmødet op i handling, jf. Kommissionens udmærkede oplæg af 14. februar om en europæisk strategi for international markedsadgang, der forhåbentlig også vil forhindre genindførelse af den urimelige japanske særskat (sikkerhedsklausul) på svinekød.
What steps is the Commission considering as a follow­up to the Euro­Asian Summit in Bangkok on 1 and 2 March, given its exceUent proposal of 14 February on a European strategy for international access to markets, which it is to be hoped will also prevent réintroduction of the unfair Japanese special tax (safety clause) on pigmeat?
Spørgsmål nr 40 af Karin Riis-Jørgensen (H-0190/96): Om: EU's handelsaftaler med Sydkorea
What does the Commission think of this state of affairs and what action does it intend to take to restore the legality of, and the freedom to use, the name 'cotto'?
Sir Leon Brittan, næstformand i Kommissionen. - (EN) Der er alvorlige problemer med eksporten af svinekød fra Den Europæiske Union til Japan.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Vice­President of the Commission. ­There is a very serious situation facing exports of pork from the European Union to Japan.
Det skyldes, at Japan siden 1. november 1995 har indført en sikkerhedsklausul.
That is a consequence of the operation of a safeguard mechanism operated by Japan since 1 November 1995.
Gennemførelsen af denne mekanisme har medført en ulige behandling af eksportlandene til skade for Unionen.
The implementation of that mechanism has led to an inequitable treatment between exporting countries to the detriment of the European Union.
Derfor er eksporten af svinekød fra Unionen til Japan så godt som ophørt.
As a result, European Union pork exports to Japan have Virtually ceased.
Sydkorea har i dag strenge restriktioner på landets kapitalmarked, hvilket har medført, at pengepolitiske reguleringer bliver anvendt som konkurrenceforvridende faktorer over for internationale konkurrenter, f.eks. inden for skibsbygnings- og automobilindustrien.
Monti, Member of the Commission. ­ (IT) It is a general rule of patent and trademark law that trademarks which are made up exclusively of signs which are of common use in the current language or are part of the standard legal or commercial practice of a country are not likely to be registered or, if registered, may be declared null and void.
Disse restriktioner kan bevirke betydelige direkte produktionstilskud til den sydkoreanske industri. stri.
This principle was implemented by Article 3 of the first Council Directive on the harmonisation of trademark legislation dated 21 December 1988 and applies also to the German trademark law.
Hvilke nuværende og fremtidige handelspolitiske in strumenter agter EU at anvende over for Sydkorea for at sikre fair konkurrence for den europæiske industri?
I stressed the importance we attached to finding a solution which wUl ensure that European pork exporters may in future have fair and predictable access to the Japanese market.
Jeg benyttede mig af lejligheden i forbindelse med det seneste møde i Bangkok til at nævne forholdet både over for den japanske udenrigsminister og ministeren for international handel og industri.
Although legislations in Member States on this matter have been harmonised by this Directive, the application of the principles of the Directive in specific cases remains within the competence of the national authorities of each Member State.
Jeg understregede, i hvor høj grad vi ønsker at finde en løsning, som kan sikre, at de europæiske svinekødseksportører fremover får lige, åben adgang til det japanske marked.
Any direct intervention by the Commission in matters of national jurisdiction is, therefore, totally inap­propriate.
Endvidere gjorde Kommissionen forud for mødet i Bangkok en stor indsats for at finde en løsning.
What is more, prior to the meeting in Bangkok, consider­able efforts had already been made by the Commission to find a solution.
Hr. Fischler har -skrevet til landbrugsministeren, óg jeg har skrevet til udenrigsministeren og understreget vor bekymring over denne mekanisme.
Commissioner Fischler has written to the Minister for Agriculture,.and I have written to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, stressing our concern over the safe­guard.
Kommissionens delegation i Tokyo har overdraget en aide memoire til de japanske myndigheder, og Kommissionens tjenestegrene er i konstant kontakt med deres japanske kolleger for at finde en løsning.
An aide mémoire has been delivered to the Japanese authorities by the Commission's delegation in Tokyo and­ine Commission services are in continuing contact with their Japanese counterparts to try and find a solution.
Sir Leon Brittan, næstformand i Kommissionen. - (EN) Kommissionen er bekendt med, at Koreas eksport har vundet terræn i visse sektorer, men der er dog stadig et overskud i Unionens bilaterale handel med dette land.
As far as the situation in Italy is concerned, it is very Ukely that the Italian Patent Office would turn down an applica­tion to register the term 'cotto' as a trademark, as this word is commonly used in Italy to indicate earthenware prod­ucts.
Republikken Korea gennemfører for indeværende planer om at liberalisere både valutakursen og rentesatsen.
The situation could be different in Germany, where the Unguistic and cultural background is different.
Det forventes, at den kommende undersøgelse inden for ram merne af OECD vil få Korea til at fremskynde gennemfø relsen af disse planer. Endvidere forventes Korea at acceptere OECD's bestemmelser om liberalisering af kapital, strømme og immaterielle transaktioner.
In the meantime, the German authorities have been informed by the Commission's services of the concerns voiced by the constituents of the honourable Member.
Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR). - Tak, hr. kommissær, for Deres svar. Jeg har et tillægsspørgsmål til Dem.
In accordance with the German rules of procedure, a final decision should be taken within the next twelve months.
Haarder (ELDR). - Jeg vil geme takke kommissæren for hans svar og også for hans store indsats for at åbne markeder i Asien.
Haarder (ELDR). ­ (DA) I thank the Commissioner for his answer as also for his strenuous efforts to open up markets in Asia.
Halvdelen af verdens økonomiske vækst ligger jo i Asien, og vi i Europa må gøre os en ekstra anstrengelse både for at forstå asiaterne, men også for at stille nogle krav til· dem.
Half the world's economic growth is occurring in Asia, and we in Europe must make an extra effort both to understand the Asians and to make certain demands of them.
Jeg har i mit spørgsmål nævnt et eksempel pá en handelsbarrière, som er opstået her i vinter, og det er den japanske særskat på svinekød, som blev indført, fordi det japanske marked blev oversvømmet af taiwanesisk og amerikansk svinekød, men som helt uret færdigt rammer eksporten fra Europa, især fra mit eget land, Danmark.
In my question, I mentioned an example of a trade barrier which was erected this winter, namely the special Japanese tax on pigmeat, which was introduced because the Japanese market was swamped with Taiwanese and American pork but which, quite unjustly, also hits exports from Europe, especially from my country, Den­mark.
Jeg vil gerne spørge, om kommissæren har drøftet dette med sine japanske counter partners, og om han har gjort noget for at undgå, at det japanske parlament fortsætter med denne særskat, som er så urimelig?
I should like to ask whether the Commissioner has discussed this with his Japanese counterparts and whether he has done anything to avert an outcome in which the Japanese Parliament upholds this special tax, which is so unreasonable.
Sir Leon Brittan. - (EN) Jeg er fuldstændig enig med spørgeren.
Brittan, Sir Leon. ­ I entirely agree with the questioner.
Som jeg sagde tidligere, er dette et emne, som jeg trods de mange andre og bredere emner, som vi skal behandle, drøftede i Bangkok med både udenrigsministeren og ministeren for international handel og industri.
As I said earlier on, this is an issue which, in spite of the many other and broader issues that we have to deal with, I
Harald Diller eneret i Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland og i andre europæiske lande for anvendelsen af mærket »cotto« for kvalitetsprodukter i keramik.
to promote healthy nutrition. This initiative prompts us to think harder about the consequences of our policies for the citizens of the Union and in particular the youngest of them.
denne form for registrering af dette mærke er utilstedelig både på baggrund af fællesskabsreglerne og efter tyske retsregler.
I acknowledge the opinion expressed by the Commission, which I understand to be in substance a confirmation of the thesis I am supporting, i.e. that the registration of trademarks of this kind is unacceptable, both in the Ught of the Community regulations and the German national law.
Monti. - (LT) Hr. Vecchi, jeg kan kun gentage, at Kom missionen ikke kan gribe ind i dette tilfælde eller frem skynde sagens behandling.
Monti. - (FT) I can only repeat, Mr Vecchi, that the Commission may neither intervene in this matter nor expedite the procedure.
Dette mærke har i mange årtier været almindelig anvendt af flere hundrede italienske keramikvirksomheder, og nu er der reel fare for at skabe en ulovlig og umotiveret monopolsituation på markedet for keramikfliser.
I only regret that the fiscal initiative in question has put in place a measure which, on the basis of the information currently in my possession, cannot be considered in Une with European law.
Hvorledes stiller Kommissionen sig til denne sag, og hvilke foranstaltninger agter den at træffe for på ny at sikre retmæssigheden og det frie marked for mærket »cotto«?
These two arguments should largely justify the administrative letter sent by the Commission's services to the Finnish authorities.
Som jeg allerede har sagt, er medlemsstatemes lovgivninger blevet harmoniseret ved Rådets første direktiv af 21. december 1988, og anvendelsen af direktivets grundsætninger på enkelttilfælde inden for rammerne af national varemærkeret hører fortsat under de nationale myndigheders kompetence.
As I said, the legislations of the Member States have been harmonised by the first Council Directive dated 21 December 1988 and the application of the Directive's principles in special cases within the national trademark jurisdiction is still the responsibility of the national authorities of each Member State.
Yderligere hedder det klart i den sjette betragtning til direktivet, at medlemsstaterne bl.a. frit kan fastsætte fremgangsmåderne, for tilbagekaldelse og annullation af varemærker.
In addition, the sixth point of the directive clearly states that the Member States are free to determine, amongst other things, the procedures for revocation and annulment of trademarks.
Af disse grunde vil et direkte indgreb fra Kommissionens side i den særlige nationale behandling af disse spørgsmål være uhensigtsmæssigt.
This is why a direct intervention by the Commission in the national procedures with regard to these specific matters is totally inappropriate.
Formanden. - Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 43.
President - As the author is not present, Question No 43 lapses.
Spørgsmål nr. (H-0123/96):
Question No (H-0123/96)
Om: Kommissionens anmodning til Finland om en redegørelse for en afgift på slik .
Subject: Commission request for clarification from Finland on the tax on sweets
Derfor vil enhver form for direkte indgriben fra Kommissionens side i sådanne nationale spørgsmål være ubeføjet.
They are participating in the Euroschola programme here in Strasbourg, and have received a good deal of understanding and support from other pupils.
For så vidt angår retstillingen i Italien er det sandsynligt, at Det Italienske Varemærkedirektorat ville nægte at regi strere ordet »cotto« som mærke, da der er tale om et almindeligt benyttet italiensk ord som betegnelse for keramiske produkter.
It is after all possible to grant exceptions on health grounds, and I hope that Commissioner Monti will be able to famiUarize himself more thoroughly with the findings of the research carried out in Finland on xyütol.
Retstillingen i Tyskland kan derimod være anderledes på grund af de sproglige og kulturelle forskelle.
The mistake is that, in the list, xylitol is equated with such sweeteners as sorbitol, manitol and isomaltitol.
