Markedsdeltagerne i den pågældende sektor har også fået en mere end femårig overgangspriode, som udløber i 1999, netop for at give dem mulighed for de tilpasninger,
Those involved in this particular market sector were also granted a five-year transition, which expires in 1999.
Formanden. - Fru Mcintosh, tillægsspørgsmålene skal stilles i det øjeblik, hvor hovedspørgsmålet meddeles. Man kan anmode om at få ordet ved at række hånden op eller trykke på knappen.
This was specifically to enable them to make the necessary ad justments to smooth out the social consequences of the abolition of duty-free.
Hvis det blev tilfældet, kan De stole på, at jeg ville gøre det med den mest absolutte - jeg ville næsten sige sygelige - institutionelle neutralitet.
- I would even say paranoid - institutional neutrality.
De ved, at De kan bede om ordet.
You all know you can ask me for the floor.
Jeg får assistance her fra bordet, så det er ikke kun to, men seks øjne, der er på arbejde, og jeg for søger at holde mig strengt til den kronologiske række følge.
The Bureau advises me; in other words, it is not just one pair of eyes doing all the work, but three, and I try to keep strictly to the chronological order.
Det kan være, at jeg på et tidspunkt begår en fejl, men tro mig, det vil i så fald være helt ufrivilligt.
I may make a mistake on the odd occasion, but in that case I assure you it is absolutely un intentional.
Ferrero-Waldner, formand for Rådet. - (DE) Hr. for mand, jeg skal endnu en gang over for parlamentsmedlemmet gentage, hvad jeg allerede har sagt tidligere.
Let me stress this again: the Commission is involved and will be presenting this document to us.
Jeg gik ud fra, at spørgsmålene ville blive sammenfattet, og at jeg så at sige svarer på begge spørgsmål.
The latter will of course contain certain facts and figures.
Hr. Watts, ønsker De at stille et spørgsmål vedrørende forretningsordenen?
Mr Watts, do you wish to make a point of order?
Watts (PSE). - (EN) Jeg forsøgte blot at fange Deres blik for at kunne stille det næste spørgsmål.
Watts (PSE). -1 was just trying to catch your eye for the next question.
Mere kan jeg egentlig ikke tilføje.
I hope that the question of duty-free is going to have a positive solution.
Formanden. - Mine damer og herrer, lad os ikke gøre dette til en konkurrence.
President. - Ladies and gentlemen, we are not going to turn this into a competition.
Jeg ved, at starttidspunktet er, når det næste spørgsmål meddeles, og jeg forstår, at der er en vis nervøsitet, men vær venlig ikke at springe hinanden over.
1 know the actual starting point is when the next question is announced, and I under stand that people get a bit edgy, but please do not be too quickoff the mark.
Nu vil jeg meddele det næste spørgsmål.
I am going to announce the next question now.
Under alle omstændigheder, mine damer og herrer, vil De tillade, at jeg til en vis grad gør brug af de bemyndigelser, som jeg har i henhold til forretningsordenen, og da dette spørgsmål i høj grad har forbindelse med det foregående, vil jeg i dette tilfælde mene, at hr. Cushnahan og fru Mcintosh har fortrin.
In any case, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to make a little use of the powers invested in me by the Rules of Procedure. In this case, since this question is closely re lated to the previous one, I am going to take it that Mr Cushnahan and Miss Mcintosh have priority.
Jeg vil derfor i denne forbindelse gøre brug af mine beføjelser i henhold til forretningsordenen og håbe på Deres forståelse.
So I am go ing to use the authority granted me by the Rules of Proce dure in that way, and I hope you will understand.
Uden yderligere diskussion går vi derfor til spørgsmål nr. 6 af Brian Crowley (H-0714/98):
So without further ado we move on to Question No 6 by Brian Crowley (H-0714/98)
Om: Rådets behandling af spørgsmålet om afgiftsfrit salg
Subject: Council's discussions on duty-free
Crowley (UPE). - (EN) Jeg vil geme ønske rådsformanden tillykke med hendes første møde her i Parlamentet og takke hende for hendes ærlighed. Hun er den første råds formandjeg har hørt sige, at man ikke kan undgå at miste arbejdspladser på grund af denne beslutning.
In connection with taking the decision on duty-free sales, a promise was made to carry out a proper study of the con sequences for the countries which have duty-free and which will suffer a change for the worse, including with regard to employment.
Nu er tiden inde til at tilbagekalde denne beslutning under dette formandskab.
Now I hear that there is going to be such a working document, which sounds very good.
Rådsformanden har indrømmet, at arbejdspladser vil gå tabt og ligeledes, at vi kan udskyde beslutningen, indtil vi har harmoniseret afgifterne - navnlig punktafgifterne.
However, it would be even better if the Council could promise that compensation will be given to the affected countries.
Det vil jeg gerne have svar på.
We do not need a study if we can have a good answer on this point.
Rådsformandskabet bedes oplyse, om det har planer om i Rådet at drøfte forslaget om at afskaffe det af giftsfrie salg i 1999 og samtlige konsekvenser heraf for beskæftigelsen?
Can the Austrian presidency indicate what plans, if any, it has to hold discussions in the Council of Ministers on the proposal to abolish duty-free in 1999 and all its impact on employment?
Fru Ferrero-Waldner, vi befinder os på samme område.
Mrs Ferrero-Waldner, this question is on the same subject.
Jeg forstår ikke, hvorfor disse to spørgsmål ikke er blevet samlet under ét.
I do not understand why these two questions were not grouped together.
Jeg er selv overrasket og har spurgt"Parlamentets tjenestegrene om, hvorfor disse to spørgsmål ikke er blevet samlet under ét, men jeg har ikke fået noget svar.
I was very surprised myself, and asked Parliament's services why the two questions had not been grouped but I have not had any reply.
Fru Ferrero-Waldner, hvis De anser spørgsmålet for besvaret, vil jeg derfor give ordet til hr. Crowley, så han kan stille et tillægsspørgsmål om grundlaget for den for handling, der har fundet sted, og derefter til hr. Cushnahan og fru Mcintosh.
Therefore, Mrs Ferrero-Waldner, if you feel it has already been an swered, I shall give the floor to Mr Crowley for a supplementary question on the basis of the debate which has al ready taken place, and I shall then let Mr Cushnahan and Miss Mcintosh speak.
Hvad synes De? Ønsker De at tale først?
Are you happy with that or would you prefer to speak first?
Jeg giver ordet til hr. Crowley.
You have the floor, Mr Crowley.
Vores udenrigsminister har her i dag talt om det beskæftigelsesprogram, som utvivlsomt hører til de højest prioriterede emner for det østrigske formandskab.
We will take account of that slightly different angle, which must have been why the questions were not grouped together. I invite you to comply with Mr Crowley's request and give him an answer.
Jeg anser det for enormt vigtigt, at vi som led i Det Euro pæiske Råd i Wien går i gang med revisionsprocesserne, og dér lærer af hinanden.
President - Miss Mcintosh, supplementary questions are put at the precise moment the main question is an nounced.
De ved, at »best practices« er noget meget, meget vigtigt.
You can ask to speak by raising your hand or by pressing the button.
Nu vil jeg naturligvis ikke kun udtale mig om dette emne, men jeg vil gerne sige Dem, at det naturligvis er foranstaltninger, som er nød vendige.
It is true that the President has a certain amount of discretion in granting the floor if there are a lot of questions from one side of the Hémicycle or the other.
Crowley (UPE). - (EN) Jeg vil gerne bede om et svar fra rådsformanden, før jeg stiller mit tillægsspørgsmål.
Ferrero-Waldner, President-in-Office of the Council. -(DE) Mr President, allow me to repeat to the Member what I have already stated.
Jeg beskæftiger mig specifikt med beskæftigelsesaspekterne af denne sag i stedet for erstatning.
I was assuming that the questions would be grouped together and that I could then an swer both of them at once.
Dette vil få alvorlige kommercielle og beskæftigelsesmæssige følger. Det var den første ting.
Ferrero-Waldner least this is what the Austrian presidency will be trying to achieve.
For endnu en gang at komme ind på det oprindelige spørgsmål: Her har der jo i en femårig periode principielt været mulighed for at gøre alt dette for de personer, som for tiden er ansat inden for dutyfree-området.
will endeavour to put instruments into the hands of Member States to help them absorb the impact arising from the loss of certain jobs.
Det andet punkt er, at rådsformanden har nævnt kompensationsforanstaltninger som svar på en række spørgsmål her i aften. Jeg vil geme spørge helt specifikt: Fra hvilken del af Den Europæiske Unions budget vil man tage disse midler?
Naturally, the completion of the single market also means gearing up in terms of employment and competition, and that greatly improves prospects of expanding trade, which is essential if we are to face up to the challenge of globalization. zation.
Hvad det generelle spørgsmål om harmonisering af afgifter og skatter angår, som ligeledes er berørt af Dem, hvis jeg har forstået det rigtigt, skal jeg sige, at vores finansminister er meget interesseret i, for så vidt der foreligger forslag fra Kommissionen, at fremme disse initiativer.
However, 1 have already said, as Mr Crowley well knows, that provision was made for a five-year transition period expiring in 1999.
Men hertil skal jeg også sige, at det foreløbig ikke vil være særligt let i Rådet, men at det i det mindste er det, Østrig bestræber sig på.
This was intended to allow for certain adjustments to be made that would be necessary for smoothing out the social consequences of the abolition of duty-free.
Cushnahan (PPE). - (EN) Fru rådsformand, jeg vil geme slutte mig til mine kolleger og ønske Dem og Deres kolleger et meget vellykket formandskab, idet vi husker på, at dette er et historisk øjeblik: Deres lands første for mandskab, siden De kom med i Den Europæiske Union.
Cushnahan (PPE). - President-in-Office, let me also join with my colleagues in wishing you and your colleagues a very successful presidency, bearing in mind that this is an historic moment: your country's first presidency since joining the European Union.
Ganske kort, hvis formandskabet helt forståeligt ønsker af svare det ærede medlem skriftligt, kunne man så ikke sikre, at andre interesserede medlemmer fik svaret at se?
I intend to continue to fight for the retention of duty-free but I am intrigued by part of the response you gave my colleagues and I should like clarification.
Jeg har til hensigt at fortsætte kampen for at bevare det af giftsfrie salg, men jeg undrer mig over en del af det svar, De gav mine kolleger, og jeg vil geme have det afklaret.
Crowley (UPE). -1 would like to congratulate the Presi dent-in-Office on her first session here in Parliament and thank her for her honesty.
Formanden. - Hr. Watts, dette er ikke et spørgsmål til forretningsordenen, det er næsten et tillægsspørgsmål.
She is the first President-in-Office 1 have heard say there will inevitably be job losses be cause of this decision.
Men jeg er sikker på, at hvis fru Mcintosh får sit svar, vil hun være så venlig straks at sende det til Dem. Fra Mcintosh er jo kendt for gennemsigtighed og venlighed, og hun vil derfor garanteret svare Dem hurtigt.
I would refer her to the comments of her colleague, the Austrian Foreign Minister, earlier on today in Parliament, when he said that job creation would be the top priority of the presidency and that under the Amsterdam Treaty the EU now had the necessary instruments available via national employment plans in specific and binding areas.
Men dette er ikke et spørgsmål til forretningsordenen.
Surely now is the time, under this presidency, to reverse the decision.
Mine damer og herrer, hvis De tillader, vil vi, da følgende spørgsmål ved, rører samme emne, under ét behandle spørgsmål nr. 7 af 'Ioannis Theonas (H-0618/98):
The President-in-Office has admitted there will be job losses and also that we can put off this decision until such time as there is harmonisation of taxation - particularly excise duty.
Om: Tilbagelevering af marmoret fra Parthenon
I would like a response on that point.
Får vi det arbejdsdokument at se i Parlamentet før den 1. juli 1999?
Will we have this working document before this Parliament before 1 July 1999?
For det andet, når De taler om instrumenter og kompensationsforanstaltninger, kan det østrigske formandskab da forsikre mig om, at der vil blive indført kompensationsforanstaltninger, hvis det uheldige skulle ske, at beslutningen gennemføres, at disse kompensationsforanstaltninger vil supplere penge under eksisterende eller kom mende fællesskabsstøtterammer, og at landene ikke bliver tvunget til at smugle penge over fra andre dele af deres fællesskabsstøtterammer.
Secondly, when you talk about instruments and compensation measures, can I have the assurance of the Austrian presidency that compensation measures will be forthcoming if, unfortunately, this decision does go ahead; that these compensation measures will be additional to money in existing or future Community support frameworks; and that countries will not be forced to poach money from other parts of their Community sup port framework.
I den forbindelse skal jeg endnu en gang gen tage, at Kommissionen er blevet pålagt at fremlægge ar bejdsdokumentet, men jeg kan ikke i dag sige, hvomår det kommer.
In this con text, all I can do is reiterate that the Commission has been asked to prepare the working document, but I cannot say when it will be ready.
Jeg mener, det er et spørgsmål, der skulle stilles direkte til Kommissionen.
I think that question should be ad dressed to the Commission directly.
Jeg kan heller ikke give noget svar angående indholdet, og på, hvorvidt der vil være ekstra midler eller ej.
Nor can I give you an answer as to its content, that is to say, whether additional funding will be available or not.
Jeg mener, De bør spørge Kommissionen om det.
I think you should ask the Commission about this.
Mcintosh (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg er Dem dobbelt taknemmelig her i aften, fordi De udøver Deres beføjelser på denne måde.
Mcintosh (PPE). - Mr President, I am doubly grateful to you this evening, for exercising your discretion in this way.
Jeg vil gerne sige hjertelig velkommen til den østrigske rådsformand, jeg er glad for at se hende her i aften.
Can I extend a very warm welcome to the Austrian President-in-Office, 1 am delighted to see her here this evening.
Hvilke skridt agter Rådet at tage for at sørge for, at marmoret fra Parthenon leveres tilbage til dets hjem land, og det derved bliver muligt.at redde nogle af ver denskulturens ypperligste frembringelser og få dem anbragt dér, hvor de har deres historiske oprindelse?
To my mind, it is extremely important for us to enter into the revision process under the auspices of the Vienna European Council and use this to learn from one another. You are well aware of the great importance attached to best practices.
og spørgsmål nr. 8 af Angela Kokkola (H-0651/98): Om: Tilbagegivelse af Parthenon-skulpturerne
Returning to the original question: the five-year transition period has basically provided the opportunity of operating such a scheme with people who are currently employed in the duty-free sector.
Jeg vil gerne have to spørgsmål afklaret.
Could I seek clarification on two issues.
Man gik generelt ud fra, at alle færgerejser gennem internationalt farvand uden for 12- mile græriseri og al luftfart i internationalt luftrum ville kunne fortsætte med toldfrit salg efter den 1. juli 1999.
It was generally understood that any ferry travelling through international waters outside the 12- mile limit and any airline travel ling in international airspace would continue to benefit from and be able to continue with duty-free sales after 1 July 1999.
Jeg har forstået, at dette blev afvist under det britiske formandskab på et møde med nationale toldémbedsmænd, og at dette i praksis vil annullere virkningen
I understand that, under the British presi dency, a meeting of national customs officials overruled that and that will effectively nullify the effect of a change of route for a ferry operating from my constituency.
Det fremgår af nyere videnskabelige publikationer, at British Museum har forvoldt uoprettelig skade på
The second point is that the President-in-Office has men tioned compensatory measures in reply to a number of questions this evening.
Her har formanden for Rådet mulig hed for at vise sin kvindelige sensitivitet. Hun kommer også fra et lille land, et demokratisk og fintfølende land, og det er en kendt sag, at de små lande yder en stor indsats i mange spørgsmål.
Ferrero-Waldner. - (DE) Mr President, Miss Mcintosh, first of all, thank you for your warm welcome.
Jeg vil altså helt konkret spørge formanden for Rådet, om hun vil udvise denne følsomhed for sagen og nedsætte en sådan ekspertkomité.
I would ask you to allow me to respond to your question in writing, and as regards budget funds, I cannot provide any further information, as I have already explained in answer to the previous question.
På hvilken måde har Rådet følgelig til hensigt at lægge pres på den britiske regering, så at den opfylder sit gamle løfte om at levere Parthenon­skulpturerne tilbage til det land, de kommer fra, på grund af den særlige situation, da det drejer sig om en uadskillelig del af templet og ikke om isolerede kunstværker?
tional specifications, what pressure will the Council bring to bear on the British Government to respect its longstanding undertaking to return the Elgin marbles to their country of origin, given the special nature of the circumstances, since they form an integral part of a temple and are not isolated works of art?
På hvilken måde vil Rådet endvidere medvirke til at få nedsat en komité af internationalt anerkendte eksper­ter, som skal vurdere de skader, som er sket på mar­morskulpturerne som følge af rensningen?
How will it contribute to the setting up of a committee of interna tionally recognized experts to assess the damage suf fered by the marbles as a result of cleaning?
Fru Ferrero­Waldner, jeg giver Dem ordet, så De kan tale om marmor og skulpturer.
Mrs Ferrero-Waldner, you have the floor, on the subject of marbles and friezes.
Jeg skal derfor opfordre til, at den ekspertkomité, De netop har foreslået, måske kan træde sammen inden for UNESCO's rammer og tage dette spørgsmål op.
Very briefly, if the presidency, quite understandably, wants to reply in writing to the honourable Member, would it be possible to ensure that other interested Members get to see that reply?
Men Rådet - det må jeg endnu en gang fremhæve - er her ikke det rigtige organ, fordi det ikke har kompetence.
Obviously, we would all have heard an oral reply, and it is only right and proper for the reply to be made available to the whole House.
Ferrero-Waldner, formand for Rådet. ­ (DE) Hr. for­mand, hr. parlamentsmedlem. Parlamentsmedlemmet er sikkert underrettet om, at i UNESCO's anbefaling af 1982 siges det først, at skulpturerne bør leveres tilbage til Græ­kenland, men i det følgende præciseres det, at de bør le: veres tilbage til Grækenland, for at de igen kan anbringes i Parthenon­templet.
Ferrero-Waldner, President-in-Office of the Council. -(DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Member is no doubt aware that the UNESCO recommendation of 1982 initially states that the Elgin marbles should be re turned; it went on to specify that they should be returned to Greece so that they could once again be put on display at the Parthenon.
Spørgsmål nr. 9 af John McCartin
It is al most a supplementary question.
Parthenon­skulpturerne er ikke et anliggende, som Rådet skal behandle, da Det Europæiske Fællesskab ikke har nogen kompetence hertil.
The matter of the Parthenon Marbles is not something which can be dealt with by the Council, since this goes be yond the jurisdiction of the European Community.
Dette spørgsmål skal udeluk­kende løses mellem Det Forenede Kongerige og Græken­land.
This issue must be resolved solely between the governments of the United Kingdom and Greece.
Har Rådet i fortsættelse af samlingen i Rådet (udviklingssamarbejde) behandlet spørgsmålet om krigen og hungersnøden i Sudan, og kan ministeren gøre rede for den aktuelle situation dér?
Question No 7 by Ioannis Theonas (H-0618/98) Subject: Return of the Parthenon (,Elgin') Marbles
Theonas (GUE/NGL). ­ (EL) Hr. formand, jeg vil natur­ligvis, også byde formanden for Rådet velkommen ved hen­des første møde med Europa­Parlamentet.
Theonas (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President, I too would naturally like to welcome the President-in-Office on her first appearance in the European Parliament.
Samtidig vil jeg imidlertid udtrykke min skuffelse over Rådets svar.
However, I also wish to express my disappointment at the Council's response.
Ferrero-Waldner, formand for Rådet. - (DE) Hr. for mand, til spørgsmålet om krisen i Sudan skal jeg anføre følgende: Rådet følger udviklingen i Sudan med stor be kymring.
There has been a public outcry over revelations that the Parthenon Marbles suffered heavy and irreparable damage in 1939-1940 in the British Museum where they are being illegally kept.
I tilslutning til diskussionen på samlingen af Rådet (udviklingssamarbejde) den 18. maj, som parlaments medlemmet refererer til, drøftede udenrigsministrene i Den Europæiske Union den 25. maj og den 29. juni situationen i Sudan.
In particular, sharp tools and strong chemical substances were used to strip the Marbles of their protective patina, thereby exposing them to environmental conditions.
Rådet henviser til formandskabets erklæring af 1. maj og bekræfter, at kun en varig politisk løs ning vil gøre det muligt for sudanerne at vende tilbage til normale livsbetingelser.
Moreover, this fact was carefully concealed by the British authorities in violation of the most basic standards of scientific and ethical behaviour.
Parthenon­skulpturerne er et kulturgode af υνμ^εΓΐΐ£ ka­rakter, som ikke kun vedrører Grækenland og Storbritannien, men hele menneskeheden.
The Parthenon Marbles are a priceless cultural commodity which concerns not only Greece and Britain but the whole of humanity.
Jeg mener også, at Rådet bør interessere sig for deres skæbne i lighed med alle an dre involverede, der nærer stor bekymring for skulpturerne efter offentliggørelsen af den videnskabelige dokumentation for, at de har lidt uoprettelig skade af den måde, British Museum har behandlet dem på.
1 think that the Council, too, should be just as concerned about their fate as all the other inter ested parties, who are greatly alarmed in the wake of scientifically wellfounded facts, according to which the marbles suffered irreparable damage as a result of how they were treated by the British Museum.
Netop derfor me ner jeg, at- Rådet bør udvise samme engagement, som ikke-statslige organisationer og folkebevægelser udviser for Parthenon-skulpturernes skæbne, og give et mere konkret svar på dette spørgsmål.
I think that, for precisely this reason, the Council should have the sensitivity that is shown by non-governmental organizations and mass movements for the fate of the Parthenon Marbles, and give a more substantial response to this issue.
Rådet har ingen kompetence i dette spørgsmål.
The Council has no jurisdiction in this matter.
Spørgsmålet er rent bilateralt.
The issue is a purely bilateral one.
Derfor skal det løses bilateralt mellem Det Forenede Kongerige og Grækenland.
It should therefore be re solved bilaterally between the governments of the United Kingdom and Greece.
Rådet bekræfter endvidere, at det støtter den mellemstatslige udviklingsmyndighed IGAD's bestræbelser på at fremme en varig fred, der skal opnås ad forhandlingsvejen.
According to recent scientific reports, the British Museum has caused irreparable damage to the Elgin marbles in attempting to clean them since it used substances and materials which damaged the outer surface thereby detracting from their historic and artistic worth.
