Ved skilsmisse eller separation er børnene ofte de mest udsatte.
The Convention on jurisdiction, recognition and enforce ment of judgements in matrimonial matters is an important step towards the Europe of the citizens.
Derfor er det vigtigt, at så vidt muligt skabe for udsætninger for, at børnene efter en skilsmisse også så vidt muligt kan bibeholde en nær kontakt med både far og mor.
It is my hope that the formal decision on the convention is taken at the Council of Ministers for justice and home affairs on 28 and 29 May.
Når mere end en medlemsstat er berørt, skal reglerne være udformet sådan, at forældremyndighedsspørgsmålet kan løses på en entydig måde.
It is therefore important that the Member States also ratify the convention afterwards.
Udgangspunktet må hele ti den være børnenes bedste. Konventionen indebærer i disse henseender en betydelig forbedring i forhold til da gens situation.
President. - Thank you, Commissioner Gradin
Den domstol, som beslutter vedrørende skilsmisse, skal i fremtiden også have kompetence til at træffe beslutning i forældremyndighedsspørgsmålet, hvis børnene har deres faste bopæl i denne medlemsstat.
For example, the international conventions for the protection of the environment, such as CITES, the Washington Convention, which seeks protection for endangered species, has been torpedoed by a recent decision of the GATT Panel.
Dom stolen skal også kunne afgøre forældremyndighedsspørgsmålet, hvis børnene har deres hjemsted i et andet medlemsland under forudsætning af, at i det mindste en af parterne har forældremyndigheden over børnene, og at begge parter accepterer, at domstolen skal have kompetencen. tencen.
Although it is pos sible and does not cost much to protect disappearing species protected under the CITES Convention, the GATT Panel has just decided that it cannot prevent the United States from importing shrimps caught by methods which risk causing the extinction of species protected by an in ternational environmental law.
Den retter sig især til virksomheder og andre økonomiske operatører.
The vote will take place tomorrow at 11.00 a.m.
Siden da er udviklingen gået mod, at borgerne i stigende ud strækning er kommet i centrum for samarbejdet. Fri be vægelighed for personer er en målsætning, som i dag i stor udstrækning er blevet virkelighed.
President. - The next item is the report (A4-0125/98) by Mr Pimenta, on behalf'of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection, on environmental, health and consumer protection aspects of' world trade.
Stadig flere bor gere gifter sig med borgere fra andre medlemslande; der er stadig flere, der er som os, det vil sige, de vælger af for skellige årsager i længere eller kortere tid at bo, arbejde eller leve i et andet medlemsland end hjemlandet.
Pimenta (PPE), rapporteur. - (PT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the debate on trade and the environment is reaching a critical stage.
Dette er naturligvis en velkommen udvikling.
Since the agreements were signed at the end of the Uruguay Round
Det er derfor naturligt, at rammen for den internationale civilret også udvik les.
The WTO's lack of decision-making power also causes problems regarding sustainable development.
En målsætning for os må være, at retssager mellem
We have had the banana Panel, vvhich has caused some ACP countries very serious problems.
Ordføreren behandler i betænkningen spørgsmålet om EF-domstolens rolle i fortolkningen af konventionen og konstaterer, at den er begrænset.
We have ethical questions, as we have seen all too clearly in the fact that the European law on leg-traps has been placed in doubt by a potential threat from a possible GATT Panel.
Præjudicielle afgørelser kan kun begæres enten af en appelinstans eller af de høje ste retsinstanser i en medlemsstat.
We have questions concerning public health and consumer protection, like the decision on hormones in meat: Europe does not allow the use of' hormones to fatten livestock, but they want to make us repeal that legislation.
Jeg kan notere, at indskrænkningen er mere vidtgående, end det var tilfældet i Bruxelleskonventionen fra 1968.
Pimenta tween timber produced by destroying virgin forests and timber from sustainable plantations.
sige, den tillader ikke, at der sondres mellem det, der på engelsk hedder »otherwise like products«. Dét er den fundamentale konflikt, som man så må overveje filosofisk og politisk.
I would like to ask the Commission a direct question, and, to avoid any misunderstanding, I will ask it in English, so that the Commissioner Sir Leon Brittan, Commissioner Marcelino Oreja and their technical advisers can under stand:
Konventionen om retternes kompetence samt om anerkendelse og fuldbyrdelse af retsafgørelser i ægteskabssager er et vigtigt skridt mod borgernes Europa.
For instance, I do not know if the officials who are developing the post-Kyoto policies and measures are taking precautions against future WTO attacks from, for example, the oil-producing nations. But I certainly hope they are doing this.
Det er mit håb, at den formelle beslutning om konventionen vil blive truffet på Ministerrådets møde med indenrigs- og justitsministrene den 28. og 29. maj.
The tuna dolphin and shrimp turtle deci sions have increased the anxiety amongst NGOs and the public that the WTO is a threat to socially and environmentally sustainable development.
Det er derfor vigtigt, at medlemsstaterne derefter også ratificerer konventionen.
Yet. none of" these cases are intrinsically trade disputes and ought to have simply been mediated.
Dernæst er der lovgivningskonflikter. F.eks. de internationale miljøbeskyttelseskonventioner, som f.eks.
I welcome the speech that Sir Leon Brittan produced in the Bellerive Globe Conference in Geneva.
CITES, Washingtonkonventionen, der søger at beskytte truede arter, og som torpederes af en nylig afgørelse fra GATT-pa-nelet.
But I can only welcome its proposal for a high-level meeting of ministers for trade and environment if two conditions are met.
Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
The first one is that this cannot be a delaying tactic.
Afstemningen finder sted i morgen kl. 11.00.
It must be included in the declaration of the forthcoming Geneva high-level WTO ministerial conference in May.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0125/98) af Pimenta for Udvalget om Miljø- og Sundhedsanliggender og Forbrugerbeskyttelse om ver denshandelen og dens miljø, sundheds- og forbrugerbeskyttelsesaspekter (A4-0125/98)
Sec ondly, we need to have a clear position from the Commission about the idea of a special procedure before the Panel convenes in the case of a conflict between environment and trade in the WTO.
Vi har haft bananpanelet med særdeles alvorlige problemer for visse AVS-lande.
My group wholeheartedly supports Mr Pimenta's excellent report, including paragraph 8.
Vi har etiske spørgsmål, som det tydeligt kunne iagttages, da den europæiske lovgivning om fælder blev udfordret med trussel fra vedkommende GATT-pa-nel.
It should be an essential input to the main ministerial meeting on WTO and I hope that the Council of Ministers will listen to our concerns about the need to strengthen the WTO committee on trade and the environment.
Vi har spørgsmålet om sundhed og forbrugerbeskyttelse i form af den afgørelse, der blev truffet om hormoner i kød, hvor Europa ikke tillader brug af hormoner til op fedning af dyr, men hvor man vil tvinge os til at tilbage kalde denne lovgivning.
The Commission has floated this idea of a high-level trade and environment meeting in Geneva in the autumn bringing together top-level policy makers to push forward the debate on how to strengthen the CTE's work.
Pimenta (PPE), ordfører. - (PT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, hr. kommissær, forhandlingerne om handel og miljø er ved at nå et kritisk punkt.
To be clearer, we want it to be more democratic, more open to the NGOs and to the outside world, to the experts on the environment before the so-called judges of a Panel start taking decisions on trade and environment.
Siden underskrivelsen af de aftaler, der afsluttede Uruguay-runden, og dannelsen af WTO er der ikke blevet taget nogen positiv afgørelse, selvom dette Parlament og andre lovgivende for samlinger, bl.a.
We want to establish two things here. Firstly, on the institutional level, a high-level ministerial group for trade and environment that will give the necessary political impetus that does not exist today in the committee on trade and the en vironment.
USA's kongres, kun har godkendt ratificeringen af Marrakesh-aftalerne, fordi de indeholdt bestemmelser om miljøspørgsmål.
Secondly, on an operational level we want to have a pre-dispute settlement mechanism where we can have participation of civil society, NGOs, environmental experts, to have some mediation before it reaches the time of decision.
Jeg vil gerne stille et direkte spørgsmål til Kommissionen, og for at der ikke skal opstå misforståelser, vil jeg gøre det på engelsk, så hr. kommissær Leon Brittan, hr. kommissær Marcelino Oreja og de teknikere, der ledsager dem, kan forstå det.
I should also like to draw the Commission's attention to paragraphs 6, 8 and 10 where we ask for the creation of an eminent persons group to think about the most important philosophical questions, the warning we give in paragraph 8 and, finally, the urgency in creating the trade and environment ministerial group for sustainable develop ment.
(EN) Jeg glæder mig over den tale, som sir Leon Brittan holdt på Bellerive Globe-konferencen i Genève.
We are in a world where, to look at one area, increasing biotechnological innovations are threatening farmers' livelihoods in developing countries.
Men jeg kan kun glæde mig over hans forslag om et handels- og miljøministermøde på højt plan, hvis to betingelser er op fyldt.
Natural herbal medicines from these countries are being pirated and patented by rapacious multinationals who then want to sell these products back at prices which cannot be afforded.
Den første er, at det ikke må være en forhalingstaktik.
The Multilateral Agreement on Investment is being negotiated vvhich may not yet contain sufficiently strong social and environmental clauses.
Det skal indgå i erklæringen fra den kommende WTO-ministerkonference i Genève i maj.
All these problems have a bearing on world trade and the way in which the WTO needs to develop and cope with them.
Ellers får det ikke tilstrækkelig politisk opbakning.
The WTO must be made to evolve so as to be able to work in a way vvhich respects these important areas.
For det andet må vi have en klar holdning fra Kommissionen til idéen om en særlig procedure, før panelet træder sammen i tilfælde af en konflikt mellem miljø og handel i WTO.
Mr Pimenta's report contains some very important and sound points and I commend it to the House.
Det mandat, som WTO's Komité for Samhandel og Miljø fik, omfattede oprindelig ti punkter, af hvilke ikke ét er blevet genstand for politisk afgørelse fra WTO's besluttende organer.
(PT) Mr President, I apologise for having gone on so long. This problem is getting close to breaking-point and the Commission must be made clearly aware that the democratic representatives of the people are losing patience.
I kraft af den manglende afgørelse fra po litikernes side, har det været panelerne, der har defineret politikken, det vil sige WTO's domstole.
Eisma (ELDR). - (NL) Mr President, the GATT legislation, as you know, is of crucial importance to the promotion of" world trade.
Denne situation er ikke holdbar.
The Union too, our own European Union, and the Member States can benefit greatly.
For det første på grund af disse organers manglende retsgrundlag til at træffe afgørelser angående ophævelse af meget vigtig national lovgivning om miljø, sundheds- og forbrugerbeskyttelse.
But up until now the implementation of GATT has taken no account whatsoever of the environment.
Reaktionen på denne situation så vi i USA's kongres, da Clinton-administrationen fik afvist sin anmodning om fast track-beføjelser. For det andet, fordi det er panelerne selv, der i anerkendelse af deres begrænsninger har bedt WTO's politiske instanser om retningslinjer, der ikke er kommet.
It takes no account of unsustainable logging, it takes no account of highly in tensive, polluting farming methods, it takes no account of cruel trapping methods, such as the leghold traps we have spoken of repeatedly in this Parliament.
Og der er fundamentale problemer, hr. formand.
It takes no account whatsoever of general damage to the environment.
For de første er der et problem med de to politikkers målsætning.
That is why this Parliament has urged, since 1993, that this connection should be made in the GATT.
Miljøpolitikken sigter mod en ændring i adfærd, i borger nes, virksomhedernes og landenes adfærd.
We are still forced to conclude that the wording of laws currently in
Nærmere bestemt ønsker vi, at den skal være mere demokratisk, mere åben for NGO'erne og verden udenfor og for miljøeksperterne, før de såkaldte dommere i et panel begynder at træffe beslutninger om handel og miljø.
Pollack (PSE). - Mr President, I should first like to en dorse the latter parts of what Mr Pimenta said.
I denne forbindelse vil vi gerne oprette to ting.
I hope not to repeat them.
For det før ste, på institutionelt plan, en ministergruppe på højt plan for handel og miljø, der skal give den nødvendige politiske fremdrift, som ikke findes i Komitéen om Samhandel og Miljø i dag.
More and more often we are seeing results of appeal decisions at the WTO which have negative ef fects on the environment and, despite the provision of Ar ticle 20 of GATT, environmental protection seems to be far to the back of the minds of many of" the international trade lawyers involved in this work.
For det andet ønsker vi på operationelt plan en før-tvistbilæggelsesmekanime, hvor det civile
In our own work in this Parliament we have watched decision son baby sealskins, leghold traps, animal testing for cosmetics, all com ing to grief simply in the face of threats of the WTO, let alone actual cases.
Pimenta samfund, NGO'er og miljøeksperter kan deltage, så der kan mægles, før der skal træffes en beslutning.
Eisma force establishes the prevalence of free trade aims over the aims of environmentally and socially sustainable de velopment.
(PT) Hr. formand, jeg beder om undskyldning for, at jeg har overskredet tiden.
That is why Parliament insisted at the time that a committee for trade and the environment, the CTE, be set up.
Dette spørgsmål er ved at nå bristepunktet, og det er vigtigt, at Kommissionen er klar over, at tålmodigheden hos folkets demokratiske representanter er ved at være opbrugt.
Partly through the efforts of this Parliament, the committee and the working programme got off the ground, and was laid down in the Marrakesh Agreement.
Vi lever i en verden, hvor bioteknologiske innovationer, hvis man ser på et enkelt område, i stigende grad truer landmændenes levebrød i udviklingslandene.
However, far too little has changed since then. There was no proper follow-up to Marrakesh.
Naturmedicin fra disse lande piratkopieres og patenteres af griske multinationale selskaber, som derefter prøver at sælge produkterne tilbage til ubetalelige priser.
With the WTO ministerial conference in Geneva in sight, this is the perfect time to give the process a new impetus.
Den multilaterale investeringsaftale, som muligvis endnu ikke indeholder tilstrækkelig strenge sociale og miljømæssige bestemmelser, er under forhandling.
The Pimenta re port does so in an excellent fashion.
Alle disse problemer har en indvirkning på verdenshandelen og den måde, hvorpå WTO er nødt til at udvikle sig og løse dem.
The reports by Mr Spencer, Mr Kreissl-Dörfier and Mr Pimenta on a different occasion, as previously debated in this Parliament, all repeated the same questions as this one.
WTO må bringes til at ændre sig, så den kan arbejde på en måde, der indebærer respekt for disse vigtige områder.
Trade rules cannot be given priority over those re quired to protect health, the environment and the future of our natural resources.
Hr. Pimentas betænkning indeholder nogle meget vigtige og fornuftige punkter, og jeg anbefaler Parlamentet at ved tage den.
So we are going to support the Pimenta report and. as Mr Eisma said, let us hope it will be approved tomorrow, if" not unanimously - vvhich is a very complicated matter in the House - then at least by a large majority which will allow the European Commission to take a clear and forceful stance at this Geneva summit so that, before the end of" this century, we can have rules to defend every area we are fighting to protect: environmental rules, health rules and rules for a fairer society.
Pollack (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, først vil jeg gerne til slutte mig hr. Pimentas sidste bemærkninger. Jeg håber, at jeg ikke kommer til at gentage dem.
Lannoye (V). - (FR) Mr President, I will not have the chance to say much in one minute, but in any case I will say that Mr Pimenta's report is excellent and we will vote for it without hesitation.
Eisma (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, GATT-lovgivnin-gen, det ved vi alle, er af afgørende betydning for fremme af verdenshandelen.
On the one hand, the situation appears to be improving, because, partly as a result of Kyoto, the United States has become more interested again in the environmental as pects of'trade.
Også Unionen, vores egen Europæiske Union, og medlemsstaterne har store fordele heraf.
It also appears that a number of important points of' dispute with the WTO. such as disputes over hormones and turtles, are being removed.
Men gennemførelsen af GATT har hidtil ikke taget hen syn til miljøets interesser.
But on the other hand, further postponement of formal legislation in the WTO context might cause unnecessary political damage to that same WTO.
Derfor har Parlamentet allerede siden 1993 presset på for at få denne relation medtaget i GATT.
This own-initiative report by Mr Pimenta, which was unanimously adopted in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection, is an important boost.
Vi må stadigvæk konstatere, at frihandelen i henhold til de nuværende lovtekster er vigtigere end målsætningen om en miljøteknisk og socialt vedvarende udvikling.
The work of the CTE must be taken up forcefully, and before the end of this century it must be in a position to fulfil the mandate set in Marrakesh. kesh.
Derfor har Parlamentet også tidligere presset på for at få oprettet et udvalg for handel og miljø, CTE.
Indeed, Mr Pimenta clearly highlights the shortcomings of the current WTO and the fact that the values given priority at the moment put free trade before environmental and health protection.
På grund af den indsats, der blandet andet er gjort af Parlamentet, er der også kommet et udvalg og et arbejdsprogram i stand, der er fastlagt i Marrakechaftalen.
The three best-known conflicts which have been settled by the WTO since the adoption of the Marrakech Agreements, those concerning hormones, bananas and fuel in the United States, are all conflicts which have given rise to decisions vvhich are detrimental to both public health and the environment.
Derefter er der desværre sket alt for få forandringer.
This seems to me to be a vital point.
Der er aldrig kommet en god opfølgning af Marrakech.
The WTO should also take into account the precautionary principle, and 'the polluter pays' principle.
Med WTO-ministermødet i Genève foran os er tiden inde til at give denne proces en ny impuls. Det gør Pimenta-betænkningen på udmærket vis.
The Commission and the Member States must in any case - and I am addressing the representative from the Commission in particular - take steps to urge their WTO partners in Geneva to enter into a binding declaration on the resolution.
Jeg ved f.eks. ikke, om de tjenestemænd, der udarbejder politikkerne og foranstaltningerne efter Kyoto, tager for holdsregler mod fremtidige WTO-angreb fra f.eks. de olieproducerende nationer. Men det håber jeg sandelig, at de gør.
If we want this destructive process to end, we must get to the heart of' the problem at all costs and not hesitate to challenge the very statutes of the WTO, where clear evidence of the principles of pernicious decision-making can be found.
Afgørelserne i tun/delfinsagen og reje/skildpaddesagen har øget bekymringen blandt NGO'er og i befolk ningen for, at WTO udgør en trussel mod en socialt og miljømæssigt bæredygtig udvikling.
I am thinking particularly of the fact that, when an individual state, or the European Union, wishes to adopt more rigorous measures in the areas of health or the environment, it is up to them to justify it.
Men ingen af disse sager er i deres inderste væsen handelstvister og burde ganske enkelt være afgjort ved mægling.
Uncertainties re garding the harmlessness of certain products or processes are not sufficient to justify more restrictive measures, and this is not acceptable to us.
Hvis vi havde haft flere stærke multilaterale miljøaftaler, kunne nogle af disse problemer være undgået.
The beginnings of a change must be adopted in Geneva.
På den en side synes forholdene at blive bedre. Blandet an det på grund af Kyoto er USA's interesse for miljøaspekterne ved handelen på ny stigende.
We, the Group of the European Liberal Democrat and Re form Party, fully support Mr Pimenta's report, and we see any reason why it would not get through this Parliament unharmed tomorrow.
Endvidere ser det ud til, at en række vigtige stridsspørgsmål med WTO, som f.eks. diskussionen om hormoner og skildpadder, vil blive ryddet af vejen. Men på den anden side kan yderligere udsættelse af den formelle regelgivning i WTO-regi medføre unødvendig politisk beskadigelse af samme WTO.
The Committee on the Environment was unanimously in favour of this report, and if we want to be consistent as a political body, we will have to carry this unanimity in the Committee on the Environment through into this part-session.
Denne initiativbetænkning af kollega Pimenta, som enstemmigt er vedtaget i miljøudvalget, er en vigtig støtte herfor.
I hope that we will all vote in favour of the Pimenta report.
CTE's arbejde skal gennemføres med stor styrke, og inden udgangen af dette århundrede skal CTE være i stand til at opfylde det mandat, der er givet i Marrakech.
Oreja Aguirre, Member of the Commission. - (ES) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I must say that the Commission thinks it is very timely to be having a de bate on this report before the second WTO ministerial conference and the OECD ministerial meeting, where the Commission hopes ministers will agree on the importance of holding a more open public debate, with better information about the repercussions for the world economy of the liberalization of trade and investments.
WTO skal også tage hensyn til forsorgsprincippet og princippet om, at »den, der forurener, betaler«.
The new report we have before us represents a fundamental contribution to the debate on trade and environment, both from a general point of view and in the WTO context.
Under alle omstændigheder skal Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne
I also think it is an essential element in the process of policy formation, since we are convinced that there can be no major progress in trade liber-
Min gruppe støtter helhjertet hr. Pimentas fremragende betænkning, herunder punkt 8.
González Alvarez (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Mr President, starting where Mr Eisma left off, 1 also hope that Mr Pimenta's report is approved tomorrow.
Den vil være et væsentligt bidrag til det vigtige ministermøde om WTO, og jeg håber, at Ministerrådet vil lytte til vores tanker om behovet for at styrke WTO's Komité om Samhandel og Miljø.
As he also said, it was approved unanimously at the last meeting of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection.
Kommissionen har lanceret idéen om et handels- og miljømøde på højt plan i Genève til efteråret, hvor højtstående politikere skal mødes og sætte skub i debatten om, hvordan arbejdet i Komitéen om Samhandel og Miljø kan styrkes. Dette kan sagtens vise sig at være et værdifuldt initiativ.
We hope it is approved because, as the rapporteur rightly says, the WTO summit in Geneva in May will really be the last chance to adopt binding, essential political decisions to prevent the constant conflicts between environment and trade, health and trade, and so cial rights and trade.
