Det er ikke blot ærgerligt, når der går endog flere år, inden en del andragender kan afsluttes.
It is not merely annoying that as long as several years can elapse before some petitions can be resolved.
Det giver heller ikke no get positivt billede af Europa.
It also gives a very negative picture of Europe.
Der er mange forskellige grande til den ofte meget lange bearbejdelsestid.
There are many reasons for the length of time it can take to process petitions.
På den ene side tager det tid at få dokumenterne oversat, så der kan forelægges et resumé på de elleve sprog.
Firstly, it takes time for the documents to be translated and for a summary to be made available in the eleven languages.
På den an den side anmodes Kommissionen i de fleste tilfælde om oplysninger, og Kommissionens svar skal så igen over-
Secondly, in most cases the Commission is asked for information and the Commission's answer then has to be translated into all the languages before the petitions can be dealt with in committee.
Vi havde ikke held til at få det britiske formandskab til at tage enkeltborgéres behov alvor ligt.
Schmidbauer the British presidency to take the needs of individual citizens seriously.
Jeg håber, at det østrigske formandskab vil tage sig af dette spørgsmål og sikre, at en rådsrepræsentant som en selvfølge overværer hvert enkelt møde i Udvalget for An dragender.
I hope that the Austrian presidency might address this issue and ensure that, as a matter of course, a Council representative attends every meeting of the Petitions Committee.
Rådet ville dér lære meget mere om, hvordan Europa virkelig fungerer end ved et vilkårligt antal luk kede rådsmøder.
The Council would learn far more there about how Europe is really working than at any number of closed Council meetings.
Men det største problem er de medlemslande, som i for bindelse med besvarelsen af klager, navnlig hvis de klart er blevet fremsat med rette, reagerer undvigende eller langsomt eller helt undlader at reagere, indtil truslen om at indbringe sagen for Den Europæiske Domstol får dem til at handle.
The greatest problem, however, comes from the Member States whose responses to complaints, particularly where these are obviously justified, are evasive, slow and in some cases non-existent and are only moved to action by the threat of appearing before the European Court of Justice.
Når det i Kommissionens beretning om EU-retten er anført, at der i 1997 på Parlamentets foranledning indledtes 17 sager om overtrædelse af traktaterne, er det et resultat af vores arbejde i Udvalget for Andragender.
The fact that the European Commission report on this EU law lists 17 actions for treaty violation brought at the instigation of the Parliament in 1997 is the result of our work in the Committee on Petitions.
Men på trods af alle vanskeligheder er det da glæde ligt, at mange andragender kunne afsluttes med et positivt resultat.
So, despite all the difficulties, it is gratifying that many petitions have nevertheless reached a successful conclusion.
Jeg vil også geme støtte de argumenter, der er blevet fremsat af andre medlemmer om behovet for at bruge moderne metoder - e-mail òg Internet - til at indgive andragender.
I would also endorse the points referred to by other Members about the need to use modern methods - e-mail and the Internet - to present petitions.
Samtidig med at jeg bestemt støtter hr. Evans' be tænkning, går den væsentlige bekymring på, hvor hurtigt behandlingen finder sted.
Whilst 1 certainly en dorse Mr Evans' report, the prime concern is speed of consideration.
Det er det, medlemmerne virke lig ønsker at se.
This is what Members really want to see.
Formanden. - Mange tak, hr. Perry, rådsformandskabet er til stede, det synes jeg lige, De skal vide.
President - Many thanks, Mr Perry.
Dets repræ sentanter sidder nede foran og gør flittigt notater.
I just wanted to point out to you that the Council presidency is here today.
I betænkningen om arbejdet i 1997-1998 er nogle sager taget frem som eksempler, og jeg vil tage en af dem op her.
The annual report describes several cases by way of ex ample and I should like to pick up on one of them here.
En tysk arbejdstager havde ydet en del af sit livsarbejde i Belgien og tillige i Frankrig.
It involves the case of a German employee who had worked for part of his career in Belgium and France.
Han søger korrekt om pension i alle tre medlemslande, og den franske pensionskasse bekræfter ganske vist, at han har krav på pension, men udbetaler kun halvdelen til ham med den begrundelse, at han først skal forelægge meddelelsen om, hvad han får i pension fra Tyskland og Belgien, inden han vil kunne få det fulde beløb.
He quite rightly applied for his pension in all three Member States and although the French pension fund granted his claim, it only paid out half of it on the grounds that he had to submit the pension rulings from Germany and Belgium be fore he could receive the entire amount.
Men da han sideløbende hermed har vanskeligheder med den tyske pensionskasse og alle rede har indledt en retssag derom, ville han kunne være kommet til at vente meget længe, inden pensionen fra Frankrig kom.
However, as he was simultaneously experiencing difficulties with the German pension fund, where the matter had gone to court, he would have had to wait a considerable time before re ceiving his French pension.
Vallvé (ELDR). - (ES) Fru formand, det er min overbevisning, at ændringen af retten til at indgive andragender til Europa-Parlamentet, således at de sprog, som er officielle sprog i en del af medlemsstatemes område, aner kendes, er et positivt skridt.
Vallvé (ELDR). - (ES) Madam President, I believe that the modification of the right to petition the European Par liament, in the sense that those languages which are official in an area of the territory of the Member States will be recognized, is a positive step.
Vi bør huske på, at Parlamentet i december 1990 vedtog en betænkning af det luxembourgske parlamentsmedlem, fru Reding, som fremhævede betydningen af mindretalssprogene i Den Europæiske Union og nødvendigheden af, at borgerne i hele Europa ikke så Den Europæiske Union som en trussel mod deres identitet.
We must remember that this Parliament approved, in Deceihber 1990, the report presented by the Member from Luxembourg, Mrs Red ing, which highlighted the importance of minority languages in the context of the European Union and the need to ensure that the citizens of all parts of Europe did not see the European Union as a body that was unconnected to their own identity.
På Kommissionens initiativ eller ved dens indgriben blev meddelelsen om den franske pension ændret, og den fulde pension blev udbetalt, for de franske myndigheder havde handlet efter en gammel regel.
At the initiative and intervention of the Commission, the French pension ruling was then changed and he was paid the full pension as the French authorities had acted on the basis of an old directive.
En sag altså, hvor nationale myndigheder har begået en fejl, men hvor en indgriben fra Udvalget for Andragender førte til et godt resultat, så en borger fik sin ret.
This was a case, therefore, in which national authorities had made an error but the inter vention of the Committee on Petitions was successful and a citizen was granted his rights.
Kun om at disse borgere kan indgive deres andragender til Europa-Parlamentet, som er den institution, der repræsenterer alle borgerne i Europa, på deres eget sprog, såfremt dette er anerkendt som officielt sprog i den pågældende medlemsstat.
It is purely a matter of these citizens being able to send petitions to the European Parliament, which is the institution that represents all of the citizens of Europe, in their own language, where it is officially recognized in the corresponding Member State.
Ikke alle andragender afsluttes med et så positivt resultat.
Not all petitions can be resolved so successfully.
Vi støder gentagne gange mod de grænser for vores kom petence, som traktaten sætter.
Time and again we run up against the limits of jurisdiction im posed by the Treaty.
Men det er vigtigt, at de europæiske borgere er informerede og ved, at de kan hen vende sig til Udvalget for Andragender med henblik på at få deres rettigheder opfyldt, og vi vil gøre alt, hvad der står i vores magt for at hjælpe dem til deres ret.
However, it is important that the citizens of Europe are kept informed and that they know they can turn to the Committee on Petitions for help in en forcing their rights and we will do everything in our power to help them obtain their rights.
Jeg vil geme minde om, at mange af disse sprog blev for budt i nogle af medlemsstaterne under diktaturer for ikke så længe siden, men demokratiet har anerkendt dem og også tildelt dem deres egen status som officielt sprog.
I would like to point out that many of these languages were banned in certain countries during very recent dictatorships, but democracy has recognized them and has also granted them their own official status.
Perry (PPE). - (EN) Fru formand, under forhandlingen af Anastassopoulos-betænkningen tidligere på ugen var der mange medlemmer, der sagde, at vi må gøre enhver bestræbelse på at bringe dette Parlament tættere på Euro pas folk.
Perry (PPE). - Madam President, during the debate on the Anastassopoulos report earlier this week, many Members said that we must make every effort to bring this Par liament Closer to the people of Europe.
Det er en vigtig målsætning.
That is an impor tant objective.
Rent faktisk er mu ligheden for at indgive andragender til Parlamentet og Udvalget for Andragenders arbejde en af de mest effektive midler, vi har til at lade borgere brage Parlamentet på en klar og direkte måde til at tage sig af deres forskellige bekymringer.
In fact the possibility of petitioning Parliament and the work of the Committee on Petitions are one of the most effective means we have of allowing individual citizens to use Parliament in a clear and a direct way to address their individual concerns.
Vi er også nødt til at tage hensyn til, at disse borgere har ret til at bruge deres modersmål i De Europæiske Fælles skabers Domstol og andre retslige instanser.
We must also take into account the fact that these citizens have the right to use their mother tongue in the Court of Justice of the European Communities and in other legal bodies.
Derfor ville Europa-Parlamentets anerkendelse af brugen af modersmålet være retfærdig med hensyn til retten til at indgive andragender, og det ville være et godt eksempel for den fremtidige udvidelse mod staterne i Central-og Øst europa, hvor der også findes mindretalsgrupper med egne sprog, som dermed kan se, at EU er åben over for de euro pæiske folkeslags mangfoldighed.
Therefore, the recognition of the use of the language itself on the part of the European Parliament would be an act of justice as regards the right to petition. It would be a good example, too, in the face of the future en largement to include the countries of central and eastern Europe, where there are also minority groups with their own languages within each country; these groups would then see that this European institution is open to the plurality of all the peoples of Europe.
Jeg lykønsker hr. Fontana med den klarhed, der er i hans betænkning, og også med det engagement, han har udvist som formand for Udvalget for Andragender over for Europas borgeres behov.
I congratulate Mr Fontana on the clarity of his report and also on the commitment he has shown, as Chairman of the Petitions Committee, to the needs of European citizens.
Han assisteres behændigt af et kompetent og samvittighedsfuldt personale, og på samme måde er de rapporter, Kommissionen forelægger os, altid
He is ably served by a competent and conscientious staff and, similarly, the reports furnished to us by the Commission are always thorough and well presented.
Hyland (UPE). - (EN) Fra formand, det bliver mere og mere klart, at en af de mere betydelige fornyelser i Maastricht-traktaten var at inkorporere retten til at indgive
Hyland (UPE). - Madam President, it is becoming in creasingly evident that one of the more significant innovations of the Maastricht Treaty was enshrining the right to submit a petition.
Der er her tale om reelle spørgsmål rejst af EU-borgeme selv, og det er på eget an svar, hvis vi sidder dem overhørig.
And this is especially true, Madam President, for certain cases where the languages are official languages in one of the Member States of the Union.
Som følge af andragender indgivet af EU-borgere kan medlemsstaterne blive fundet skyldige i overtrædelse af fællesskabslovgivningen.
In this case, Madam President, we believe that the petitions and complaints made by citizens in their own language should be accepted. cepted.
Hr. Evans har ganske vist gjort en stor indsats og har foreslået muligheden for at fremsende skriftlige henvendelser på borgerens eget modersmål vedlagt en oversættelse.
areas, namely non-recognition of qualifications, problems relating to free movement in the Member States, the envi ronment and public health.
Men dette er ikke tilfredsstillende, for det er en formel, men ikke reel løsning.
These are real issues raised by EU citizens themselves, and we ignore them at our peril.
Og det er især ikke tilfredsstillende i visse tilfælde, fru formand, nemlig for de sprog, som er officielle sprog i en af Unionens medlemsstater.
The right to petition helps to break down barriers and creates a vital link between the working of the EU institutions and our citizens.
I dette til fælde, fru formand, er det vores opfattelse, at andragender og klager fra borgerne indgivet på deres modersmål bør accepteres.
As a result of petitions submitted by EU citizens, Member States can be found guilty of in fringing Community law.
Tamino (V). - (IT) Fra formand, jeg tror, at alle er klar over, at andragenderne samt henvendelserne til ombudsmanden udgør et vigtigt aspekt af de europæiske borgeres borgerrettigheder, og jeg mener derfor, at vi i den forbindelse bør fremme denne demokratiske aktivitet og denne borgemes ret til information så meget som muligt.
Tamino (V). - (IT) Madam President, I think everyone realizes that petitions, together with the right to appeal to the Ombudsman, constitute an important aspect of Euro pean citizens' right of citizenship, and therefore 1 believe that in this sense we must encourage as much as possible this democratic activity and this right of citizens to information. mation.
Jeg vil gerne komme med en kort henvisning til Sellafield.
I wish to refer briefly to Sellafield.
Dette atomanlæg i det vestlige England, langt fra magtens bekvemmelige tinder i London, er og bliver en årsag til alvorlige bekymringer for irske borgere.
That nuclear installation on the west coast of Britain, far from the cosy seat of power in London, has been and remains a cause of serious concern to Irish citizens.
Det ene ste sikre Sellafield er et lukket Sellafield.
The only safe Sellafield is a closed Sellafield.
Kommissionen kan ikke fortsætte med at ignorere, hvad borgerne har at sige.
The Commission cannot continue to ignore what citizens are saying.
Det er ikke et spørgsmål om subsidiaritet, for grænseoverskridende forurening er et spørgsmål, der vedrører os alle, og som har givet anledning til talrige andragender.
It is not a question of subsidiarity: trans-frontier pollution is a matter of concern to us all and has prompted numerous petitions.
For borgerne er andragenderne samtidig et instrument, der giver dem lejlighed til at lære de europæiske institutioner at kende, og for os parlamentsmedlemmer samt for de europæiske institutioner er det en vigtig lejlighed til at identificere de problemer, der er væsentligst for borgerne, og som således også er de væsentligste aspekter, vi bør tage os af.
Petitions are also an instrument that citizens can use to be come acquainted.with the European institutions and an important moment for us parliamentarians and for the Eu ropean institutions to learn about the most significant problems facing citizens and the most relevant aspects that should concern our actions.
Man skal desuden, tage i betragtning, at antallet af andragender stiger - sidste år var der over 1.300 - men der er også en stigning i antallet af borgere, som skriver under på andragenderne. Nogle andragender har mere end 30.000 underskrifter, og hvert år er der således hundredtusinder af borgere, der benytter sig af dette vigtige demokratiske instrument.
It is worth noting that petitions are on the rise - there were more than 1 300 last year - but also more and more citizens are signing petitions - there are petitions with more than 30 000 signatures - which means that hundreds of thousands of citizens each year are using this important instrument of democracy.
Det betyder naturligvis, at man skal forbedre tilrettelæggelsen af arbejdet i Udvalget for An dragender, men det ér også nødvendigt at gøre det nem mere for borgerne at anvende dette instrument.
This obviously necessitates im provements in the organization of the work of the Com mittee on Petitions, but ways must also be found to make it easier for citizens to use this instrument.
Vi går så ledes ind for brugen af nye instrumenter, såsom Internet tet, og for brugen af andre sprog end de officielle, når blot ,det går op i en højere enhed, og når blot disse sprog over sættes til et af de officielle sprog.
We are there fore in favour of the use of new instruments like the Inter net and the use of languages other than the official languages, provided that there be a summary and a translation in one of the official languages.
Det er tilbøjeligt til at blive udsat for ulykker, det forurener luften, og det forurener vores hav.
Sellafield has an appalling record: it is accident-prone, it pollutes the air and our sea.
Der er en lang række hændelser og fejder.
There is a long litany of incidents and disputes.
Hvorfor var British Nuclear Fuels ikke villig til at levere tilstrækkelige oplysninger til Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland med henblik på at gøre det muligt at vurdere sikkerheden i forbindelse med atomoplagringen på Sellafield?
Why was British Nuclear Fuels un willing to release enough information to the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland to enable it to assess the safety of nuclear storage at Sellafield?
En rapport fra det irske General Council of County Councils, der blev offentliggjort i juni, ad varede om, at en atomulykke på Sellafield kunne føre til en katastrofe ti til hundrede gange værre end Tjernobyl.
A report by the Irish General Council of County Councils, published in June, warned that a nuclear accident at Sellafield could re sult in a disaster ten to a hundred times worse than Chernobyl.
Endog et lille jordskælv i Cumbria-området kunne forårsage revner i oplagringstankene.
Even a small earthquake in the Cumbrian region could breach the storage tanks.
I denne rapport, der er udarbejdet af direktøren for det i USA beliggende Institutefor Research and Security Studies, anklages Det For enede Kongeriges inspektører af atomanlæg for ikke at tage en alvorlig ulykke på Sellafield tilstrækkelig alvorlig og for ikke at have nogen beredskabsplan.
This report, prepared by the Director of the US-based Institute for Research and Security Studies, accuses the United Kingdom nuclear in stallation inspectors of not taking a serious accident at Sellafield seriously enough and of not having an emergency plan.
Det er på høje tid, at Kommissionen stækker vingerne på British Nuclear Fuels 'atomambitioner nu; hvor det er på vej at ud vide sit imperium til USA.
It is about time the Commission clipped the wings of British Nuclear Fuels' nuclear ambitions as it expands its empire to the United States.
Man skal også tage i betragtning, at næsten halvdelen af alle andragender er uantagelige. Det betyder, at de euro pæiske borgere ikke får en ordentlig information om, hvad de kan anmode om, og hvordan andragenderne skal indgives.
It should also be noted that nearly half of the petitions are inadmissible: this means that European citizens are not being adequately informed about what they can request and how they have to send petitions.
Et andet vigtigt aspekt er samarbejdet med Den Europæiske Unions strukturer, og navnlig med Den Europæiske Ombudsmand i forbindelse med grænseandragendeme, men også med Kommissionen. Samarbejdet med Kom missionen, der hidtil har været godt, kunne godt blive bedre med hensyn til tiden og kvaliteten af svarene.
Another important aspect is collaboration with the Euro pean Union's structures: with the European Ombudsman in particular for limited petitions but also with the Euro pean Commission whose collaboration so far has been good but which can be improved in terms of both the time it takes the Commission to reply and the quality of its an swers.
Som afslutning vil jeg, hvad angår andragendet fra Peter Downs i Irland om ridehjelmes sikkerhed, geme indtrængende bede Kommissionen om nu at komme frem med en rapport om, hvor langt man er nået i relation til de rejste spørgsmål.
In conclusion, as regards the petition by Mr Peter Downs in Ireland on the safety of riding helmets, I want to urge the Commission to come forward now with a progress re port on the issues raised.
Den foreslåede EN 1384- standard er et kom promis, der ikke giver den bedst mulige beskyttelse, som det kræves i direktivet om personbeskyttende udstyr.
The proposed EN 1384 standard is a compromise which does not provide the best possible protection available, as required by the personnel protective equipment directive.
Kun en ud af 17 rideorganisationer over hele Europa er blevet hørt.
Only one out of 17 equestrian federations throughout Europe was consulted.
Hvorfor nægtes vi sikrere standarder, når de eksisterer - i betragtning af, at amerikanske standarder f.eks. giver bedre beskyttelse? Så vær venlig at komme frem med en rapport om, hvor langt man er nået med dette, for det er liv, der står på spil:
Why are we being denied safer standards when they exist, given that, for example, American standards provide better pro tection?
Som repræsentant for De Grønne vil jeg gerne have lov til at sige, at vi er yderst tilfredse med, at de europæiske bor gere anser andragenderne for at være et meget vigtigt in-1 strament til at gøre opmærksom på miljøproblemerne i deres eget land.
Collaboration between the Committee on Petitions and the European Parliament's other committees should also be improved; furthermore, as already stated, relations with the Member States also need to be improved, given the fact that the answers that we have had so far have been unsatisfactory and slow to come.
forretningsordenen, således at enhver kan indgive andragender på et andet sprog end de 11 officielle sprog i Unionen. Dette er en udmærket idé for de, der taler et minoritetssprog, men der er ikke nogen tidsbesparing, når an drageren skal vedlægge en oversættelse eller et resumé på et officielt EU-sprog.
As a representative of the Greens, allow me to say that we are very pleased that European citizens consider the in strument of petitions very important in making known the environmental problems of their own area.
Novo Belenguer (ARE). - (ES) Fru formand, jeg vil starte med at lykønske de tre ordførere, selvom jeg i mit indlæg vil fokusere på betænkningen af hr. Evans på grand af den store betydning og interesse, som den har for Den Europæiske Unions sprog og kulturer.
Gutiérrez Díaz (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Madam President, the amendment of Rule 156(3), proposed in the report by Mr Evans, is not a amendment of the rules governing languages, which are the responsibility of the Council, but the desire to ensure that citizens can use their own language in the complaints or petitions they send to the Eu ropean Parliament.
Hr. Wibe foreslår for sit vedkommende at forenkle proceduren for indgivelse af andragender ved hjælp af elektroniske hjælpemidler, idet han dog præciserer, at man straks ved modtagelsen via web skal sende en meddelelse til andrageten med opfordring om at bekræfte forslaget, der er afsendt med e-mail.
Certainly, Mr Evans has made an effort, and has introduced this form of presenting written documents in the language itself along with a translation.
Her er det igen svært at få øje på no gen forenkling!
But this is not sat isfactory: it is a formal solution but it is not a real solution.
