Jeg er sikker på, at alle Parlamentets medlemmer er enige i, at denne traktatbestemmelse bør føres ud i livet.
European culture is the sum of different European cultures, the cultures which exist in the various States, including those that exist within each State and which go to make up individual cultural identities.
Kommissionen bedes derfor oplyse, hvad dens medlemmer enten i fællesskab eller enkeltvis vil foretage for at sikre gennemførelsen af artikel 128.
I therefore hope that very shortly — and of course before the end of the year — that I may be in a position to present this report and advance along the very promising line opened up by Article 128.
Crampton (PSE). — (EN) Jeg takker kommissæren for det udtømmende og interessante svar.
And how can this be promoted? Through small groups?
Jeg er glad for, at der sker noget.
Through large groups?
Det er meget vigtigt, at vi alle forstår, at vi bliver nødt til at gøre meget mere end blot at tale — at vi rent faktisk er nødt til at handle.
I do not think it is a question of size. It is a question of approaching the problem in the right spirit, and that is what has to be done.
Oreja Aguirre, medlem af Kommissionen. — (ES) Den 27. juli 1994 vedtog Kommissionen en meddelelse om Fællesskabets indsats på kulturområdet, hvori der redegøres for rækkevidden af artikel 128, punkt 4, i traktaten om Den Europæiske Union.
May I ask him if he would go into a little more detail on how the liaison within the Commission is working as regards coordinating all the differ ent departments involved in cultural policy, particularly as far as telecommunications and broadcasting are concerned?
Men der er også andet, vi kan foretage os; jeg er utilfreds med, at man i handelsaftaler indgået med lande, der har store områder med ækvatorial- og tropeskov, kun meget sjældent nævner disse skove og muligheden for at finde frem til en bæredygtig måde at udnytte dem på.
Finally, could the Commissioner share with me his thoughts on the fact that one of the Member States — the United Kingdom — has launched a massive fund-raising exercise called the
Jeg vil hævde, at vi gennem vore egne handelsaftaler og i de forhandlinger, vi
What I do want to say is that the Commission will be especially interested in following cultural projects in which more than one country is involved.
Med henblik på en optimal anvendelse af denne bestemmelse er Kommissionen i færd med at udarbejde en rapport, som vil blive forelagt Parlamentet, Rådet og Regionsudvalget, om den kulturelle dimension af de mest relevante EF-politikker, såsom
As you know, that is the line that has been followed with Kaleidoscope, for instance, that is to say. to encourage the promotion of a cultural activity which brings different countries together, because that, I think, is what gives a truly cultural dimension. Having said that, there may be exceptions, and if these merit
Oreja Aguirre dette giver en meget lettere arbejdsgang, eftersom de ansvarlige kommissærer på forhånd er nået til enighed.
Oreja Aguirre attention, you can be sure that the Commission will also be taking them into account.
Med hensyn til Unionens rolle på kulturområdet kan jeg forsikre Dem. at jeg i de seneste uger har tænkt en del over. hvordan dette problem skal gribes an.
Combating fraud requires that greater attention be paid by customs agents to the obligations they take on on behalf of their customers.
For del første er det en ny situation, der nu er opstået, og vi må arbejde på at give traktatens artikel 128 et indhold.
The Commission will check that Community legislation is being uniformly applied in all of the Member States.
Hvad angår denne artikel, mener jeg ikke. at vi skal supplere de aktiviteter, der gennem føres af medlemsstaterne på kulturområdet.
However — and this needs to be emphasized — lhe internal organization of the customs services in the Member States is a matter for the individual States exclusively.
Jeg mener, at Kommissionen grundlæggende skal beskæftige sig med den noget vanskeligere opgave at identificere, hvad der er fælles for medlemsstaternes kulturelle virksomhed og identitet.
von Habsburg (PPE). — (DE) Mr Commissioner, in connec­tion with culture there is something to which we ought to pay attention, namely the fact that, for instance at lhe last exhibition in the Pushkin Museum in Russia, a great number of stolen European works of culture have now turned up outside Europe.
Det er efter min mening, hvad udtrykket europæisk kultur dækker over.
So 1 want to ask you: has the Commission considered what it intends to do with regard to these works of culture?
Jeg gør endvidere opmærksom på, at Kommissionen tidligere har fulgt en sådan fremgangsmåde i forbindelse med visse aktioner.
The Commission has already adopted, in December of 1994. internal measures to underpin exchanges of information between the customs authorities as well as external measures to reinforce the guarantees on Community transit.
I sagen vedrørende bevarelse af nationale kulturklenodier arbejdede Kommissionens kompetente tjenestegrene tæt sammen med de andre EF-institutioner i alle processens faser for således i forbindelse med spørgsmål vedrørende det indre marked at tage hensyn til den kulturelle dimension.
The Commission is making major efforts to induce the Member States rapidly to bring into effect computerization of the Community transit arrangements, and this would make it possible to combat fraud more effectively.
Hvordan kan man fremme den europæiske kultur i denne forstand? Via små grupper eller store grupper?
Oreja Aguirre. — (ES) Mr von Habsburg has raised a real problem, one which concerns us all and. obviously.
Jeg tror ikke, det er et spørgsmål om størrelse.
It involves a cultural dimension which is very important.
Det er et spørgsmål om ånd, og det er dette aspekt, der skal være det fremherskende.
It is something we cannot ignore and. certainly, every attempt should be made to recover the lost items.
Jeg forventer således i løbet af indeværende år at kunne forelægge den omtalte rapport og dermed tage de første skridt på denne lovende vej, der åbnes med artikel 128 i traktaten.
Each country's sense of its own cultural identity does not. I think, prevent the achievement of closer cooperation in the cultural sphere in all the Member States of this Union.
Crawley (PSE). — (EN) Jeg takker kommissæren for hans meget detaljerede svar.
President. — Question No 30 by Mrs Marie­Paule Kestelijn­Sierens (H­0132/95)
Hvad angår lotteri, har jeg ikke grundlag for at vurdere de teknikker, som medlemsstaterne gør brug af for at skaffe midler til støtte for kulturelle projekter.
Subject: The increasing liability risks of customs agents in the EU
Hvad jeg derimod klart kan fastslå er, at Kommissionen vil prioritere kulturprojekter, der indebærer deltagelse af flere lande.
I quite agree with him that under customs legislation the forwarding agent is liable and that he should and indeed does bear responsibility.
Der kan selvfølgelig være undtagelser fra denne regel, og såfremt sådanne situationer kræver særlig opmærksomhed, kan De være forvisset om, at Kommissionen vil undersøge sagen.
Polish and Czech firms are taking over the work of these European agents and declaring themselves bankrupt the moment they get their first bill from the customs authorities. That is how the European Union sees many taxes and receipts pass it by.
Endelig vil jeg gerne spørge kommissæren, hvad han mener om, at en af medlemsstaterne — Det Forenede Kongerige — for at skaffe penge har iværksat en omfattende operation i form af et nationalt lotteri, og at grupper, der ansøger om støtte fra det nationale lotteri, bl.a. kan komme i betragtning ved at dokumentere deres indsats på det kulturelle område.
I would like to ask the Commissioner if he would consider reviewing the system of liability for forwarding agents from two angles. First of all limiting the liability in time and secondly granting exemption from liability if the agent can prove that he is in no way responsible for the failure to produce the Τ 1 document.
Men når man undersøger, hvori en sådan kan bestå, konstaterer man, at ingen gruppe nogen sinde, i medfør af bestemmelserne for det nationale britiske lotteri, er blevet anmodet om at dokumentere, at de i deres kulturelle aktiviteter samarbejder med et andet land. Hvad mener kommissæren herom?
Along with this review of liability there should also be improved efficiency of the customs services which can only come about by close coordination between the customs services in the various Member States; this would be greatly facilitated by the complete computerisation of customs services.
Jeg skal derfor spørge Dem: Har Kommissionen overvejet, hvad den vil foretage sig med henblik på disse kulturværdier?
Customs agents, who are objectively liable for the trade transactions they carry out. are increasingly becoming victims of fraud in the case of import, export and transit of goods in the EU.
Forbereder den noget for at kræve dem tilbage?
Such irregularities (e.g. uncleared T­documenis.
Til syvende og sidst drejer det sig om objekter, som i den senere tid er stjålet af forskellige bander, der er draget gennem Europa.
T­documents with false stamps, substitution of goods) are partly to be ascribed to the abolition of internal frontiers in Europe, the creation of new trade flows, especially with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and parfly to the breakdown in cooperation between customs administrations.
Jeg synes. Unionen burde gøre noget for at bringe disse kulturværdier tilbage til Europa!
The serious liability risks arising in this connection have put a number of customs agencies in a position where they may go bankrupt.
Oreja Aguirre. — (ES) Hr. von Habsburg har rejst et reelt problem, som ligger os alle stærkt på sinde, og vi må klart nok overveje, hvad der kan gøres, da det drejer sig om en vigtig kulturdimension.
Monti. — (IT) On this important issue, I am able to respond first by expanding on what I said earlier, namely that, back in December 1994, the Commission took measures both to underpin exchanges of information between the customs authorities and to reinforce the guarantees on Community transit.
Vi kan ikke negligere problemet, og ethvert bidrag til at få disse stjålne kulturgoder tilbage må hilses velkomment.
The Commission therefore has a part to play — and is trying to do this — in supporting the system of computerization to improve the customs system as a whole.
Hensynet til de enkelte landes kulturidentitet er efter min mening ikke til hinder for at øge samarbejdet på kulturområdet mellem alle medlemsstaterne.
Monti, Member of the Commission. — (IT) The question concerns the increased risk run by customs agents in the European Union.
Vi har allerede holdt flere møder, ét før G7-mødet og et andet umiddelbart efter.
President. — Question No 31 has been withdrawn.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 30 af Marie-Paule Kestelijn-Sierens (H-0132/95):
Question No 32 by Mr David Bowe (H­0119/95) Subject: Bitumen and water mixture fuel
Om: Den voksende ansvarsrisiko for toldklarerere i EU
The duties of the customs agents who act as obligors in relation to Community transit are laid down in the Community Customs Code.
Efter min mening er dette en god arbejdsform, men selvfølgelig er det ikke den eneste nødvendige.
Does the Commission consider bitumen and water mixture fuel, known as orimulsion, a suitable fuel for power generation within the European Union? If so, under what conditions?
Nogle emner kan tænkes at gå på tværs af denne opdeling, og andre emner hører eventuelt også ind under andre direktorater eller andre af Kommissionens sagsområder.
There are at present no plans to review the nature of the responsibilities of the customs agents in regard to transit as compared with what is laid down in the Community Customs Code.
Men under alle omstændigheder er det den valgte arbejdsmetode, som består i, at vi forbereder arbejdet på møder, hvor grupper af kommissærer deltager, og dernæst viderebringer vi konklusionerne til Kollegiets møde;
The customs authorities can at present invoke the additional liability of the transporter or addressee in cases of
Toldklarererne, som er objektivt ansvarlige for de handelstransaktioner, de udfører, er ofre for et stigende antal bedragerier ved ind- og udførsel samt ved transittransport af varer i EU. Disse uregelmæssigheder (og navnlig forkert udfyldte T-dokumenter, T-dokumenter med falske
Bangemann, Member of the Commission. — (DE) It is fairly rare for a new fuel to appear on the energy market, especially one that could have an impact on a major consumption sector such as the electricity industry. This could certainly be the case
Mange speditørvirksomheder er konfronteret med truslen om en eventuel konkurs som følge af den store ansvarsrisiko, de har i denne forbindelse.
So we are not applying any kind of preferential tariff but levying no taxes at all. because this emulsion was classified under that particular article of the annex.
af ansvaret og på den anden side en fritagelse for ansvar, hvis speditøren kan bevise, at han ikke under nogen omstændigheder er ansvarlig for det ikke korrigerede T 1-dokument.
It is made up of large quantities of high-bitumen crude oil that is too viscous to be carried via pipelines or by ship, which is why it is mixed with water and an additive to form an emulsion.
Desuden burde denne revision af ansvaret ledsages af en mere effektiv og strengere optræden fra toldmyndighedernes side.
In many ways this emulsion resembles the heavy oil used in power stations.
Det kan kun opnås gennem en snæver koordination mellem toldmyndighederne i de forskellige medlemsstater, og en fuldstændig datamatisering af Unionens toldmyndigheder trænger sig derfor på.
We think it is possible that this fuel could also be used to produce power, even though few power stations are currently in a position to bum it. Most of them are in the United Kingdom.
Monti. — (IT) Hr. formand, med hensyn til dette interessante aspekt kan jeg i første omgang svare ved at uddybe det, jeg sagde indledningsvis, nemlig at Kommissionen allerede fra december 1994 har iværksat foranstaltninger både for at styrke informationsudvekslingerne mellem toldmyndighederne og for at styrke garantierne med hensyn til den fælles transport i Fællesskabet.
In 1993, European imports of this fuel from Venezuela came to nearly 2 million tonnes, of which the United Kingdom used the major part. However there is one problem here, which is SO: emissions, for at comparable fuel efficiency, this emulsion is lower in value than heavy oil, so that apart from high SO: emissions it also releases particles with a high heavy-metal content.
Kommissionen har således — og søger at udvikle — en rolle som støtte for informatiksystemet, der kan mulig gøre en forbedring af det samlede toldsystem.
That means that we have an environmental problem, which could however be solved by desulphurization plant, as already in use in some coal-fired power stations.
Monti, medlem af Kommissionen. — (IT) Spørgsmålet vedrører den voksende ansvarsrisiko for toldklarerere i Den Europæiske Union.
In any case, the Commission will see to it that the prescribed standards are adhered to in the use of orimulsion too.
For det andet vil jeg imidlertid gerne erindre om. at fastsættelsen af toldunddragelser, bekæmpelsen af dem og især tildelingen af straf i øjeblikket alene er medlemsstaternes kompetence.
On the environmental aspect, all the Union's environmental rules, and the environmental rules of the respective Member States, are applicable, i.e. the Union's directives and therefore also the Member States' rules on CO: and SO: emissions are applicable.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 31 er trukket tilbage.
That is why we never specified a technique.
På grund af deres profession accepterer toldklarererne i et vist omfang ansvar i forhold til toldmyndighederne, når de toldbehandler varerne.
We never banned or favoured any particular technique; instead, these provisions always relate to a specific emission of pollutants and to reducing this emission by setting certain guide values.
Dette ansvar dækker betaling af de pågældende afgifter i tilfælde af uregelmæssigheder. heder.
If it cannot obtain those values with the old technique, it has to use a new one.
Spørgsmål nr. 32 af David Bowe (H-0119/95): Om: Blandingsbrændsel bestående af bitumen og vand
Bowe (PSE). — Firstly, I wish to thank the Commissioner for his reply. Obviously some consideration has been given to this problem by the Commission.
Anser Kommissionen blandingsbrændsel bestående af bitumen og vand, kendt som orimulsion, for et anvendeligt brændsel til elkraft inden for Den Europæiske Union?
We should not underestimate the speed of development and the way in which it is already developing within certain Member States, notably the UK.
Hvis det er tilfældet, under hvilke betingelser?
And we have to consider the problems.
Det er ikke i øjeblikket planlagt at revidere toldklarerernes ansvar i forhold til det, der er fastsat i den fælles toldkodeks.
I want to express particular concern about two issues which I feel the Commission is not interested in.
Kampen mod bedrageri kræver en voksende opmærksomhed hos toldklarererne med hensyn til de forpligtelser, de påtager sig på deres kunders vegne.
In that respect, no environmental damage occurs above the guide values, for the guide values happen to be the limit we have jointly fixed.
Kommissionen forpligter sig til at kontrollere, at fællesskabslovgivningen gennemføres på en ensartet måde i alle medlemsstaterne.
All the Member States will, however, have to abide by this limit.
Alligevel — det må understreges — er den interne organisation af toldvæsenerne i medlemsstaterne medlemsstaternes eget anliggende.
That means, there can be no different treatment in regard to this category of guide values.
Kommissionen gennemførte allerede i december 1994 interne foranstaltninger for at styrke informationsudvekslingen mellem toldforvaltningerne og eksterne foranstaltninger for at styrke garantierne med hensyn til den fælles transport i Fællesskabet.
I understand it is either the intention or already the practice of the Commission to give this fuel preferential treatment in comparison to more environmentally friendly fuels, or at least fuels derived from sources within the Union. This is a fuel which is derived from outside the Union, specifically from one area of the world.
Bangemann, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Det er relativt sjældent, at der kommer et nyt brændsel frem på energimarkedet, især et, der kan have betydning for en stor forbrugssektor, som for eksempel elkraft. Det kunne her absolut være tilfældet med brændslet orimulsion, hvor der ikke er tale om en virkelig nyhed, men om en specialitet fra Orinocco-floddalen, deraf også navnet. Det drejer sig om store mængder råolie med stort tjæreindhold, som er for tyktflydende til at kunne transporteres gennem pipelines eller pr. skib, og derfor blandes det med vand og et tilsætningsstof og danner så en emulsion.
Bonde (EDN). — (DA) I would like to thank Mr Bowe for a good question, and I would like to ask whether the Commission could issue a general statement to the effect that a Member State will at all times be permitted to reduce tariffs to such an extent that environmentally defensible or more environmental ly friendly commodities are at the very least as well placed as commodities which cause pollution.
Denne emulsion ligner på mange måder svær fuelolie, der anvendes i kraftværker.
It will then be possible to consider to what extent incentives may be offered.
Vi anser det for muligt, at også dette brændsel kan komme i betragtning til el-produktion, selv om der i øjeblikket kun findes få anlæg, der er i stand til at anvende det.
Can we nol get the Commission to issue a general statement to the effect that at all events we want to allow Member States at the very least to put environmental products on an equal footing with products which cause pollution?
Disse anlæg befinder sig for størstepartens vedkommende i Det Forenede Kongerige.
I am glad the honourable Member has such great faith in the Union that he could put this question.
Således androg de europæiske importer fra Venezuela i 1993 næsten 2 millioner tons, og det er Det Forenede Kongerige, der har anvendt størsteparten. Der er ganske vist et problem i forbindelse hermed, og dette problem er SOn-emissionen. for ved sammenlignelig brændværdi er denne emulsion dårligere end svær fuelolie og frigiver ud over store SO;-emissioner også partikler med højt tungmetalindhold.
Secondly, I wish to express concern about the apparent disinterest the Commission is expressing at the way in which certain regulatory authorities in one Member State of the Union — perhaps two now given that Denmark is doing work on this as well — are working, under pressure from the industry, to establish the best available techniques for the use of this fuel.
Det vil altså sige, at vi har et miljøproblem, som man ganske vist kunne løse ved hjælp af afsvovlningsanlæg, som allerede nu anvendes i nogle kulkraftværker. Men disse afsvovlningsanlæg er meget dyre.
They are using technologies which are increasingly outdated and increasingly being replaced by other technologies.
Kestelijn-Sierens (ELDR). — (NL) Jeg takker kommissæren for hans svar.
...that the Union has evolved and perhaps, if you will allow me to say so.
Men hvad sker der?
Mr Bonde has loo!
Der er nu i mellemtiden polske og tjekkiske virksomheder, som overtager disse europæiske speditørers aktiviteter og lader sig erklære konkurs på et tidspunkt, hvor de får forelagt den første regning fra toldmyndighederne.
Quite frankly, I cannot understand the Commission's present failure to take action: it is anti-environmental and it is anti-European energy industry and I hope the Commission will take urgent action in this matter.
Jeg ville gerne spørge kommissæren, om han ikke overvejer at gennemføre en revision af ansvarsordningen for speditørerne, og det baseres på to ideer.
Bangemann. — (DE) Let me begin with the first supplementary question, namely how we treat this emulsion in terms of tax and above all in relation to possible import levies.
Bowe (PSE). — (EN) Indledningsvis vil jeg gerne takke kommissæren for svaret.
We can only lay down provisions by majority decisions in the area outside taxes.
Det fremgår, at Kommissionen har gjort sig visse overvejelser om dette spørgsmål.
If we want to achieve this through taxes then — as the honourable Member knows full well — we need unanimous decisions.
teknik, er han nødt til at anvende en ny teknik.
Bangemann through criteria and guide values of this kind.
På den måde opstår der ingen miljøbelastninger, ikke ud over normværdierne, for normværdierne er nu en gang den grænse. vi i fællesskab har fastsat.
For instance, if we fix consumer values and low limits for pollution emissions, we are of course at the same time creating a tax basis.
Denne grænse skal overholdes i alle medlemsstater.
But the actual tax decisions have to be taken unanimously.
Det vil sige, at der ikke kan være forskelsbehandling inden for denne kategori af normværdier.
That is why we can do no more than submit proposals, but I cannot promise you at this time that we will actually achieve that aim.
Jeg har for det første svært ved at forstå, hvorfor dette brændsel skal nyde godt af den præferentielle toldtarif, hvilket kommissæren ikke har omtalt.
we will have made quite some headway on the question of private sector investment before Easter.
Jeg forstår, at det enten er Kommissionens mening, eller allerede blevet indført, at dette brændsel skal behandles præferentielt i forhold til mere miljøvenlige brændsler, eller i hvert fald i forhold til brændsler udvundet af ressourcer, der findes i Unionen.
Moreover, I intend, firstly, to see the situation in Merseyside and hear the criticism for myself in March this year and secondly, to discuss one of the trouble spots with the UK government, namely the involvement of local representatives in the programme plan ning.
Det brændsel, der er tale om, har sin oprindelse uden for Unionen, specielt i ét bestemt område i verden.
Unfortunately there have been complaints, not just on the Merseyside programme but also in relation to the Welsh Office and some other areas, where we are faced with strong complaints mainly from local and regional representatives.
