B3-1598/93 af Pimenta for Den Liberale og Demokratiske Gruppe om illegal eksport af giftigt affald fra Schweiz til Portugal;
B3-1598/93 by Mr Pimenta, on behalf of the Liberal, Democratic and Reformist Group, on the illegal export of toxic waste from Switzerland to Portugal;
B3-1602/93 af Nianias m.fl. for Gruppen Europæisk Demokratisk Alliance om overførsel af affaldsstoffer;
B3-1602/93 by Mr Nianias and others, on behalf of the Group of the European Democratic Alliance, on transport of waste;
Baggrunden for dette konkrete tilfælde - REFONDA, et schweizisk selskab, som ejes af det multinationale sel skab ALUSUISSE - er et forbud fra 1985 mod deponering af denne type farligt affald på fyldpladser i Schweiz.
The origin of this particular case, involving the Swiss company Refonda, a subsidiary of the multinational Alusuisse, lies in the ban, dating from 1985, on the dumping of this kind of waste in landfill sites in Switzerland.
For at løse problemet på en hurtig og billig måde, beslutter ALUSUISSE sig til at eksportere affaldet til lande, der ubesindigt vil tage imod det som alu-skrot til genbrug, uden nogen omtale af det giftige indhold.
With a view to dealing with its problem quickly and cheaply, Alusuisse decided to export its waste to coun tries which were rash enough to accept it as scrap aluminium for recycling. There was no mention of the toxic content of this waste.
METALIMEX, en portugisisk virksomhed, som ikke har nogen forudsætninger eller teknologi til at behandle giftigt affald, har mellem 1987 og 1991 modtaget 29.000 tons affald.
Between 1987 and 1991, therefore, the Portuguese company Metalimex, which had no technological facilities whatsoever to deal with toxic waste, received 29 000 tonnes of such waste.
De schweiziske myndigheder går så vidt som til at opkræve Greenpeace for omkostningerne i forbindelse med genbrug - Greenpeace har forny lig sendt en prøve af det pågældende affald retur til Schweiz pr. lastvogn.
Alerted by the environmental organization Greenpeace -which I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate on its work in defence of the environment - the Portuguese authorities have tried on countless occasions to have this waste sent back to Switzerland.
B3-1611/93 afMarinhom.fi. for De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe om eksport af giftige affaldsstoffer;
B3-1607/93 by Mr Vandemeulebroucke and Mrs Ewing, on behalf of the Rainbow Group in the European Parliament, on the reprocessing of Ameri can nuclear fuel at the Dounreay processing plant in Scotland;
Endvidere bør vi udtrykkeligt forbyde eksport af affald, selv om det sker under dække af genbrug, sådan som man enstemmigt vedtog her i Parlamentet med Ford-betænkningen, mod Ministerrådets holdning.
For five years, Mr President, this toxic waste has been left abandoned in the region of Setúbal, permanently endangering the environment and the health of local residents.
ders sunde fornuft om at bringe igangværende aktioner imod Greenpeace til ophør, for eksempel beslaglæggelsen af det køretøj, der transporterede en del af aluminiumsskrottet til oprindelseslandet, og som er grundlaget for den internationale alarm, som Greenpeace har sat i gang imod den grænseoverskridende transport af farligt affald.
The Portuguese Government has already spent more than 2 million dollars on measures to prevent the contamination of soil and underground waters, in a situation which is entirely the responsibility of the producers of the waste, Alusuisse, and the Swiss authorities.
Vi forventer, at Kommissionen og Rådet handler hurtigt og bestemt.
The illegal traffic in waste must be condemned in the strongest possible terms by the Commission, the Council and this Parliament.
Det kræver denne ulykkelige situation desværre, da den får Portugal til at fremstå som et land, der ifølge de schweiziske myndigheder nok kan modtage det giftige affald, som schweizerne ikke selv vil have.
The Swiss Government must take responsibility for the return of the toxic waste from Portugal, and ensure its adequate disposal. This is a good opportunity for the Swiss Government, which has expressed interest in joining the European Union, to demonstrate its good faith by taking back its toxic waste.
Vi forventer - og vi vil geme spørge Kommissionen, om den vil kræve det af de schweiziske myndigheder - at der sker en hurtig tilbagetransport af de 29.000 tons aluaffald, som stadig befinder i Portugal, og endvidere om Kommissionen vil bevilge midler til genopretningen af miljøet, der allerede har nået en vis forureningsgrad.
The European Parliament must therefore demand that this waste should be returned to Switzerland immediate ly, with the Portuguese authorities being compensated for all the costs incurred; it must ask the Commission and the Council to make absolutely clear to the Swiss authorities that this type of behaviour is unacceptable, and will be taken into account in all future bilateral negotiations between the European Union and Switzerland; and, finally, it must call for an explicit ban on the export of waste, including waste exported on the pretext of recycling - a proposal which, contrary to the opinion of the Council of Ministers, was unanimously approved by Parliament with the adoption of the Ford report.
VANDEMEULEBROUCKE (ARC). - (NL) Hr. for mand, kære kolleger, i det belgiske forskningscenter for kerneenergi i Mol ligger der 144 nukleare brændselsstave, som ejes af De Forenede Stater.
VANDEMEULEBROUCKE (ARC). - (NL) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Belgian Centre for studies in nuclear energy in Mol has in its possession 144 nuclear rods which belong to the United States.
Vor gruppe har sammen med De Grønne i Europa-Parlamentet fremsat en fælles beslutning, og heri modsætter vi os kraftigt transporten af disse 144 stave til oparbejdningsanlægget i Dounreay i Skotland.
Our group has joined with the Green Group to table a joint motion for a resolution in which we protest most vigorously against these rods being transported to the processing plant in Dounreay, Scotland.
Nukleare transporter indebærer store risici, og den offentlige opinion lades herved for det meste hen i fuldkommen uvished om de omstændigheder, hvorunder det hele sker.
The transport of nuclear material involves serious risks and the general public is generally left in complete ignorance of the circumstances under which transport takes place.
Vi fremfører desuden, at en vedligeholdelseskontrakt mellem studiecentret for ker neenergi i Mol og det britiske AEA er fuldstændig ulovlig. Dounreay må udelukkende oparbejde atomaffald, som kommer fra dets egen drift.
We feel, above all, that the maintenance contract between the Centre for studies in nuclear energy in Mol and the UK AEA is totally illegal.
Vi mener også, at De Forenede Stater selv skal hente de brugte kernespaltningsstave i Mol og bringe dem hjem til deres eget land.
We also take the view that the United States should remove the used fission bars from Mol and take them back to their own country.
Til sidst siger vi, at hele kernespaltningscyklussen hurtigst muligt skal afvikles fuldstændigt.
Finally, we say that the whole of the fission fuel cycle should be completely dismantled as soon as possible.
Desuden skal det ikke blot ske i Den Europæiske Union selv, men også i alle andre områder i verden, hvor Den Europæiske Union kan gøre sin indflydelse gældende i sagen.
Furthermore, this has to be done not only in the European Union but in every other country throughout the world where the European Union can exert any influence in these matters.
Vi tænker blandt andet på de nukleare støtteprogrammer i blandt andet østeuropæiske lande.
We are thinking in terms of the pro grammes to support nuclear power in Eastern European countries and elsewhere.
Vi vil ved denne fælles beslutning bede om afstemning ved navneopråb, og derved vil vi måske kunne pejle, hvor stor indflydelse atomlobbyen har i Parlamentet.
We will be requesting a roll-call vote on this joint motion for a resolution and that will no doubt give us an indication of the influence the nuclear lobby has over this House.
SANTOS (PSE). - (PT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, ca. 30.000 tons giftigt industriaffald - aluminiumsaffald - er ulovligt blevet exporteret fra Schweiz til Portugal.
SANTOS (PSE). - (PT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, between 1987 and 1991, nearly 30 000 tonnes of toxic industrial waste - aluminium slag - was exported from Switzerland to Portugal.
Det er et eksempel på de gentagne overtrædelser af miljølovgivning og internationale konventioner, hvilket desværre beviser de schweiziske myndigheder manglende respekt for de meste elementære sameksistensværdier.
This is a striking example of the continuing violation of environmental protection regulations and international agreements, and regrettably shows the Swiss authorities' lack of respect for the most basic norms of coexistence.
Hver gang der sker transport af atommateriale over havet, forsøger man at organisere det i største hemmelighed.
Whenever nuclear material is to be transported by sea, great efforts are made to maintain the utmost secrecy.
Alene det er allerede højst betænkeligt i et demokrati.
That alone is a matter for serious concern in a democratic system.
Og hver gang befolkningen så alligevel hører, hvilke transporter det drejer sig om, er protesten skarp og massiv.
And when people find out what type of material is involved there are massive and vociferous protests.
Ingen ønsker det atomskidt.
Nobody wants this nuclear rubbish.
Oparbejdning af brændselsstave skal forbydes helt, og og der skal sættes en stopper for realiseringen af kontrakten mellem forskningscentret i Mol i Belgien og Dounreay og de nukleare installationer i Skotland.
There must be a total ban on the reprocessing of fuel rods and the contract between the Centre for studies in nuclear energy in Mol, Belgium, and Dounreay and nuclear plants in Scotland has to be stopped.
Risikoen i sikkerhedsog spredningssammenhæng er uacceptabel, netop som det gælder for hele kernespaltningscyklussen.
The risks linked with safety and proliferation are unacceptable and the same can be said of the entire fission cycle.
Et åbent, sundt demokrati kan ikke leve med det.
This absolute scandal began in
RIBEIRO (CG). - (PT) Hr. formand, Portugal er et perifert beliggende land, og trods EF-medlemskabet har vi altid truslen om sammenstødet mellem to eller flere hastigheder hængende over hovedet - i stedet for den økonomiske og sociale samhørighed.
RIBEIRO (CG). - (PT) Mr President, the fact that Portugal is a country on the periphery of the European Community - permanently threatened by centripetal
Som om det ikke var nok, har transnationale virksomheder fra lande uden for Fællesskabet valgt Portugal til losseplads for deres giftige affald.
RIBEIRO certain conditions, and to inform the Commission of its decision.
Når vi slås med periferi og sammenstød, kan og må vi også tage kampen op imod denne fornedrelse: at være Europas skraldespand, EF eller ej.
forces which favour the creation of a Europe of two or more speeds, rather than economic and social cohesion -was not enough.
I løbet af disse fem år har affald været efterladt i Setubal-regionen, og været en permanent fare for indbyggernes sundhed og zonens miljø.
Companies of other countries, transnationale with nonCommunity origins, have chosen Portugal as a place to dump their toxic waste.
Og den bør bekræftes, ikke som en egoistisk hensigt, ikke ved at smide det over til perifere eller ultraperifere naboer, som man ikke ønsker hjemme, men med et universalt krav om en praksis, der hænger sammen med princippet om passende affaldsanlæg og -behandling i oprindelseslandet.
And this must be stated quite clearly: not in the manner of a selfish requirement to be thrown in the face of other countries less developed than ourselves - something which this House does not wish - but in the manner of a universal demand for action consistent with the principle of the adequate storage and treatment of waste in its country of origin.
Denne ulovlige transport af affald bør fordømmes af Kommissionen, Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet.
Do we need to be reminded that it is the responsibility of the producers of hazardous substances to ensure the careful management of those substances for their entire lifespan, in accordance with the so-called 'safe care' principle defined by the OECD?
Det er den schweiziske regerings ansvar at sørge for returtransporten af affald fra Portugal, samt sørge for en passende afskaffelse.
Furthermore, if the depositing of the waste concerned at Setúbal, in Portugal, is regarded as the storing of hazardous substances, it should be pointed out that a company seeking to store hazardous substances in another country must ensure that the facilities used are adequate for the storage of such substances, that the person in charge of the facilities is qualified to ensure that the substances concerned are stored in totally safe conditions, that the employees of the storage company are adequately trained in the monitoring of the facilities, that all relevant regulations and codes of good practice governing the storage of hazardous substances are strictly observed and, finally, that the person in charge of the facilities is in possession of all the information necessary to enable him to prevent accidents and act effectively in the case of an accident.
Hr. formand, det er en passende lejlighed for den schweiziske regering, som har vist interesse i at tiltræde Den Europæiske Union, til at bevise, at den er i god tro, og tage affaldet tilbage til sit eget land.
Application of the 'polluter pays' principle, moreover, implies that the company concerned should bear the costs of all reasonable preventive measures and all reasonable anti pollution measures involved in such action.
NIANIAS (RDE). - (GR) Hr. formand, det, der står i beslutningsforslagene, alle anklagerne, er noget, vi alle ved.
NIANIAS (RDE). - (GR) Mr President, we are all aware of the things these motions say and the things they denounce.
Jeg må endnu en gang gøre opmærksom på, at ikke blot det dejlige Portugal, men hele Middelhavet har været bragt som depot for ulovligt affald.
I should point out once again that it is not just our friends in Portugal who are affected.
Skibe sejler til og fra og tømmer affald ud under sejladsen.
The whole of the Mediterranean has been turned into a dumping site for illegal waste.
Her møder de også terroristskibe og emigrantskibe. En tragedie for Europa!
Ships sail in and out leaving a trail of waste in their wake.
Socialisterne og specielt de portugisiske socialister vil ikke undlade at anerkende Greenpeaces og det portugisiske Kuercus' uvurderlige bidrag til løsningen af dette problem, og vi appellerer til de schweiziske myndighe
It is clear that there is a need for an inquiry, and that the export of waste destined for recycling can lead to practices which are unacceptable and must be condemned.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
I should like to make three points.
Endelig vil jeg geme sige til hr. Vandemeulebroucke, at Den Socialistiske Gruppe ikke vil stemme for kompromisforslaget, men derimod vil stemme for det beslut ningsforslag, der er fremsat af Regnbuegruppen.
Finally, I should like to inform Mr Vandemeulebroucke that the PSE Group will not be voting in favour of the joint motion for a resolution, but will, on the other hand, be voting in favour of the motion for a resolution tabled by the Rainbow Group.
For det første, at det haster med at træffe praktiske foranstaltninger mod dem, der krænker det internationale samfund.
Secondly, in addition to practical measures we also need legal measures. We must insist on tougher legislation to be applied internationally.
AMENDOLA (V). - (IT) Hr. formand, jeg vil geme meget kort sige, at efter min opfattelse er det meget formålstjenligt, at Europa-Parlamentet i dag, her og på denne måde, interesserer sig for dette enorme problem med eksport af giftigt og skadeligt affald.
AMENDOLA (V). - (IT) Mr President, I should like to say very briefly that the European Parliament is quite right, in my view, to take such a timely interest in this massive problem of exports of dangerous toxic waste.
For det andet bør der ud over de praktiske foranstaltninger også træffes juridiske foranstaltninger.
This is a very topical and important issue which is taking on increasingly worrying proportions.
Det er et problem af stor relevans og aktualitet, som er ved at antage stadigt mere bekymrende dimensioner, og det mest bekymrende er, at nu mere vi vedtager love for at bekæmpe dette fænomen, i nu mindre grad håndhæves lovene.
Most worrying of all is the fact that the more laws we pass to combat this phenomenon, the more it escalates and the more those laws are flouted.
For det tredje må vi søge at finde en videnskabelig løsning på problemet.
Thirdly, we need to find a scientific solution to this problem.
Man kan ikke opretholde en så stor produktion af dette affald, hvis vi ikke først har forarbejdet alt, hvad der kan forarbejdes, så det ikke længere er farligt.
We cannot go on producing so much waste, in such quantities, without first considering every possible way of ensuring that it is harmless.
Hvis dette ikke sker, vil Middelhavet blive kvalt i affaldet fra alle de omkringliggende områder.
If we do not do this, the Mediterranean will sink under the weight of refuse and waste from all the surrounding areas.
Og ikke nok med det, man kommer også og tømmer affald fra Atlanterhavet ud i Middelhavet.
And as if this were not enough, we also have ships sailing in from the Atlantic and dumping waste in the Mediterranean.
Derfor: Praktiske foranstaltninger mod lovbryderne, strenge juridiske foranstaltninger gældende fremover og videnskabelige foranstaltninger med henblik på forarbejdning af affaldet.
So, what we need are practical measures against offenders, tough legal measures for the future and scientific measures for ongoing waste reprocessing.
Jeg vil også geme erindre om, at vi nu har Baselkonventionen fra 1989, vi har en meget nylig forordning fra Fællesskabet, nr. 259/93, som inddrager Baselkonventionen, og som skulle blive operativ inden maj 1994.
I would also point out that we now have the 1989 Basle Convention, as well as a very recent Community regulation, No 259/93, which transposes the Basle Convention and is due to come into force in May 1994.
Men trods alle disse regler, der forbyder enhver afsendelse af affald til andre lande, hvis de andre lande ikke godkender det og har anlæg til at modtage det, så øges dette.
But despite all these rules prohibiting shipments of waste to another country if that country has not given its consent and does not have adequate facilities, the phenomenon is still escalating.
DELCROIX (PSE). - (FR) Hr. formand, hvad enten det drejer sig om farlige kemikalier eller om farligt genanvendeligt kemisk affald, volder den internationale handel bekymringer ud fra legitime hensyn til beskyttelse af mennesket og miljøet.
DELCROIX (PSE). - (FR) Mr President, the international trade in both dangerous chemicals and hazardous recyclable chemical waste is giving rise to concern, for legitimate reasons concerning the protection of the environment and human health.
Jeg vil kun sige, at Italien bidrager til denne manglende håndhævelse.
I would just add that Italy is also flouting the legislation.
Ved den kontrol med samhandel med farlige produkter, som er defineret i FN's Miljøprogram, anvendes inden for EF proceduren med forudgående information og samtykke.
Control of the trade in dangerous chemicals - as defined under the United Nations Environment Programme -within the European Community involves application of the 'previous consent' procedure.
Og farlige genanvendelige kemikalier kan ikke unddrage sig denne procedure.
And this procedure should also apply to the trade in hazardous recyclable chemical waste.
Efter dette system skal der gives importlandet oplysninger om disse kemikalier i form af dokumenter, der kan lægges til grund for beslutningen.
Under this system, the importing country must be supplied with information about the product concerned, in the form of documentation enabling it to make a decision.
Dernæst anmodes dette land om at afgøre, hvorvidt det ønsker at modtage den fremtidige import, forbyde den eller kun tillade den på visse betingelser, og endelig underrette Kommissionen.
The importing country is then asked to decide whether it wishes to accept future imports of the product concerned, ban them, or authorize them under
EWING (ARC). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg repræsenterer en anden skraldespand, det vil sige Dounreay i det nordligste Skotland, meget langt herfra; Skotland, et land uden regering; som Det Forenede Kongerige mener, det kan klare sig uden, når det gælder at deponere den slags skidt.
EWING (ARC). - Mr President, I represent another dustbin, that is to say Dounreay, in the far north of Scotland, far away from here; Scotland, a country with out a government is thought to be expendable by the UK
Vi har allerede et tysk lager i Dounreay, selv om det er ulovligt at genoparbejde andet affald i Dounreay end det, der produceres dér.
We already have a German stockpile at Dounreay even though it is illegal to reprocess at Dounreay any waste other than what is produced at Dounreay.
Planlægningsmyndigheden, det valgte regionale råd for Højlandet, har sagt nej.
The planning authority, the elected Highland Regional Council, has said no.
Og alligevel er flyvemaskiner i hemmelighed kommet dertil, og vi har et tysk lager.
Any yet secretly planes have come in and we have a German stockpile.
Nu skal vi have endnu et lager fra De Forenede Stater via Belgien, selv om der ikke er nogen planlægningstilladelse hertil.
Now we are to have another stockpile coming from the US through Belgium, even though there is no planning permission for this.
Naturligvis vil Dounreay appellere.
Of course Dounreay will appeal.
Det generelle princip er, at det er meget farligt at transportere dette stof over store afstande, hvad enten man gør det til søs, via bane, vej eller i luften.
The general principle is that it is very dangerous to transport this stuff long distances, whether you do it by sea, rail, road or air.
Man bringer alle i fare. Man bringer havet i fare. Der er ingen effektive planer, hvis der skulle ske en katastrofe.
You put everybody at risk.
Jeg har set på sagen, og det ved jeg.
I have looked into that and I know.
Jeg siger nej.
I say no.
Det er helt utåleligt.
This is absolutely intolerable.
Jeg er valgt på dette grundlag af over 52% af vælgerne i min kreds.
I am elected on this platform by over 52% of my electorate.
Lige så vel som jeg føler for portugiserne, beder jeg alle om at modsætte sig, at dette stof bliver sendt til Dounreay.
Just as I feel for the Portuguese, I ask everyone to oppose sending this stuff to Dounreay.
Er det nødvendigt at erindre om, at det påhviler fabrikanter af farlige stoffer at fremme en sikker forvaltning af disse stoffer under hele deres levetid i overensstemmelse med det såkaldte princip om »sikker forvaring« af pro dukterne, som defineret af OECD.
VANDEMEULEBROUCKE (ARC). - (NL) May I ask Commissioner Van den Broek to reply to the other motions for resolutions and specifically the one referring to the transport of nuclear rods to Dounreay?
VAN DEN BROEK, medlem af Kommissionen. - (NL) Hr. formand, må jeg begynde med at sige, at Kommissionen helt og fuldt deler den alvorlige bekymring og også den harme, som kommer til udtryk i ordene fra forskellige ærede medlemmers side.
VAN DEN BROEK, Member of the Commission. - (NL) Mr President, let me start by saying that the Commission fully shares the deep concern and the unease which is so much in evidence in the remarks made by many of the Honourable Members here today.
Det drejer sig her om et yderst alvorligt problem, og den slags fremgangsmåder bør der sandelig gøres en ende på.
This is an extremely serious problem and we really must put a stop to this kind of activity.
Det er klart, at der er behov for en undersøgelse, og at eksport af affald, beregnet til genanvendelse, kan føre til en inacceptabel og kritisabel praksis.
VAN DEN BROEK, Member of the Commission. - (NL) Mr President, I will take these remarks away with me and arrange for an investigation into what exactly is going on.
