Det står jo ikke skrevet noget sted, at f.eks. undertiden fire ministerier skal være med til at administrere et enkelt strukturfondsprojekt.
There appears to be a difficulty in arriving at a meeting of minds which leads to a tremendous degree of confusion, and projects are slowed down as a result.
Også her ville det absolut være muligt at foretage en forenkling på nationalt plan.
President. - Question No 47 by James Nicholson (H-0574/96)
Den ville heller ikke være mulig efter gældende retsstilling.
Is the Commission satisfied with the progress of the Peace and Reconciliation Programme for Northern Ireland?
Netop i de nye medlemsstater har man taget meget positivt imod Kommissionens strukturpolitiske erfaringer - dette gælder i øvrigt også for Sverige - og til dels opfattet og gennemført dem som et værdifuldt supplement til den nationale regionalpolitik.
Will you ensure, as the Commissioner, that European officials - which is your responsibility and my responsibility - do not make unrealistic demands on projects, ultimately rendering them useless?
Der har dog absolut været diverse vanskeligheder med hensyn til også at oprette de nødvendige nationale og regionale strukturer.
Is the Commissioner further aware that substantial amounts of the funds are going to consultants to prepare glossy brochures and reports?
Wolf (V). - (DE) Mange tak, fru kommissær, Deres svar var faktisk overbevisende og konkret, men der findes her et mindre spændingsforhold.
Is it satisfied with the financial controls and monitoring . of the programme?
Alligevel mener jeg, at det bør være vor fælles interesse at få en større administrativ forenkling.
Wulf-Mathies, Member of the Commission. - (DE) Mr President, the Commission takes the view that the progress of the Peace and Reconciliation Programme for Northern Ireland has been satisfactory.
Kommissionen be stræber sig for øjeblikket i eget regi på at forenkle og fremskynde procedurerne.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the political aspect of the peace process.
Wibe (PSE). - (SV) Jeg takker kommissæren for svaret.
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) Mr Nicholson, you will be aware that I personally have been pressing strongly for swift action, and that I also take great pains to ensure that we actually decide on projects.
Jeg må sige, at kommissæren svarer både kortfattet og ligefremt.
I therefore regularly ask to see the lists of approved projects, which then lead to corresponding payments.
Det er jeg ikke rigtig vant til, men jeg synes, det er positivt i sammenhængen.
I would even go so far as to say that we are acting more swiftly in the case of Northern Ireland than in the case of other regions.
Den hidtidige fortolkning af subsidiaritetsprincippet vedrører naturligvis først og frem mest subsidiaritetsprincippet mellem Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne.
This slow start was mainly due to the fact that a network of decentralized bodies had to be set up to distribute the funds.
Det, vi imidlertid tillægger stor værdi -ganske vist ikke altid med succes - er, at subsidiariteten så også videregives fra medlemsstatens centrale plan til de underliggende plan, og at der opstår et ægte praktisk partnerskab ved gennemførelsen af strukturfondene.
Not until December 1995 was the Commission able to sign the corresponding contracts with the intermediate financing institutions and, as the honour able Member will be aware, agreeing on the composition of the partnership committee for Northern Ireland and the regional partnerships was also far from easy.
To ting har fået mig til at stille dette spørgsmål. Den ene er, at jeg på nært hold har set, hvordan strukturfondene forvaltes i mit land, og derved kunnet konstatere, hvilken enorm administrativ byrde, der pålægges vore myndigheder.
A further ECU 28 m out of a total ECU 60 m should be disbursed in the Irish border regions.
Jeg tror faktisk, at administrationsomkostningerne i mit land kan løbe helt op i en halv snes procent af støttebeløbene.
A short while ago, we were discussing the implementation of the URBAN initiative in United Kingdom, where the approval and implementation of the programme for Belfast, for example, is viewed with some envy.
Den anden er den undersøgelse af struktur fondenes effektivitet, som for nylig blev forelagt Udvalget om Regionalpolitik.
You will see, therefore, that there is a considerable difference between the normal procedures and the efforts being made to implement the programme for Northern Ireland.
Heri når man frem til, at træfsikkerheden har været særdeles dårlig; det vil. når man ser bort fra mål 1, sige, at midlerne ikke i så høj grad er gået til regioner med stor arbejdsløshed eller med en lav per capita-indkomst.
Nevertheless, I shall continue my endeavours, and I should be grateful to the honourable Member for any specific indications as to where snags may be occurring.
Hvordan vil Kommissionen gennemføre denne foran staltning?
Wulf-Mathies in working life to a lesser extent than in other parts of the Union.
Drejer det sig måske om en midlertidig indefrysning af Fondens midler, indtil kriterierne igen er opfyldt?
In rural areas, moreover, they are included to a lesser extent, in agricultural groupings and professional associations.'In Spain, for example, the supply of financial services and services for undertakings is particularly limited in rural areas.
Hvordan ser det fremtidige støttescenario for struktur fondene ud for perioden efter 1999?
With regard to the question of consultants, we are, of course, frequently faced with the problem that those who do not know their way around so well depend on the help of consultants.
I henhold til artikel 6 i forordning 1164/94 træffes der afgørelse om fortsættelse, inddragelse eller genoptagelse af udbetalinger af samhørighedsmidler på grundlag af de årlige mål for det offentlige underskud, der anbefales af Rådet i henhold til artikel 104 C, stk. 7.
I would stress, however, that enlisting technical help does not necessarily mean employing consultants and spending part of the funds on consultancies and similar bodies.
Jeg vil gerne minde om, at Rådet har rettet sådanne henstillinger til Grækenland, Portugal og Spanien for 1995.
On the contrary, the local partnerships and community groups, for example, can use the technical assistance which is available to help them draw up their proposals.
Dette gælder naturligvis såvel for de finansielle spørgsmål som for afgrænsningen af de støtteberettigede områder.
However, the entrepreneurial tradition is not necessarily less pronounced in the countries of southern Europe than in the north.
Kommissionen har undersøgt de pågældende landes bud getsituation for 1995 og konstateret, at det offentlige underskud i hvert af de tre medlemsstater lå inden for det mål, Rådet havde anbefalet for 1995. Derfor godkender Kommissionen fortsat nye projekter eller projektfaser som led i Samhørighedsfonden til Grækenland, Portugal og Spanien.
The proportion of self-employed women in the southern Member States - Spain, Greece, Portugal and Italy - in the agricultural and services sectors is actually higher than the Community average.
Der vil blive foretaget en ny vurdering af de offentlige underskud i de pågældende medlemsstater i efteråret 1996 og derefter hvert halve år.
So with a view to incorporating the equal opportunities dimension into all Community policies, Structural Fund assistance must be geared to harnessing this potential, by encouraging and helping women to set up businesses or become self-employed.
Jeg er sikker på, at vi indgående vil behandle denne samhørighedsberetning i Regionsudvalget og muligvis også i plenum i Parlamentet, og at vi derpå også på grundlag af drøftelserne her i Parlamentet kan optage de nødvendige elementer til-strukturpolitikken efter 1999.
There are chapters in this entitled 'A Europe based on Equity and Tolerance' and 'A Europe contributing to International Peace, Security and Solidarity'.
Vallvé (ELDR). - (ES) Fru kommissær, jeg takker for Deres svar, men mit spørgsmål gik lidt videre.
Like Mr Nicholson's question, this was written before the recent developments.
Spørgsmålet drejede .sig ikke så meget om den juridiske situation, men om hvilke kriterier Kommissionen i øjeblikket- har med hensyn til indefrysning af støtten fra Samhørigshedsfonden, såfremt medlemsstaterne ikke opfylder konvergens kriterierne.
Does the Commissioner feel that greater priority ought to be put into the peace initiatives in Northern Ireland by the Irish presidency than hitherto and will the Commission lend its support to specific programmes to assist the situation in Ireland as a whole?
Schiedermeier (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg indrømmer gerne, at jeg godt kan lide at høre den charmerende kommissær tale og også at se hende.
The support measures in favour of women are aimed at bolstering their entrepreneurial spirit and providing incentives for business initiatives.
På det tidspunkt, hvor jeg stillede mit spørgsmål, var jeg endnu ikke klar over, at De behandler det i Regionsudvalget.
Hence in the regional development programmes, as well as at interregional level, there is provision for specific measures to facilitate women's access to information.
Mit tillægsspørgsmål vil jeg også gerne stille meget konkret: Vil De sørge for, at når strukturfondene omlægges, vil også f.eks. 'grossererkvartererne' i områderne under mål nr. 1 udgå?
In certain countries of toe Union - for example, Sweden - this is already more or less a reality.
Jeg kommer fra et område, hvor jeg frygter, at 5b-områderne i givet fald er dem, det kommer til at gå ud over, fordi alle andre vil holde fast ved det, de har opnået.
Experience with such advice centres in Sweden -as well as in Ireland and Spain - has shown that specific advice is especially important in the startup phase, and that the dissemination of positive experiences has an encouraging and motivating effect.
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) Midlerne skal kun indefryses, hr. Vallvé, hvis de værdier, der er fastlagt i Rådets henstillinger, ikke opnås.
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) Mr Evans, you will be aware that the Commission's programme for peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the border regions of Ireland is geared to rapid help and support for the peace process.
Det var for 1995 for Grækenland 10, 7 9c offentlig gæld, udtrykt i procent af bruttonationalproduktet, for Portugal 5, 8 % og for Spanien 5, 9 9c.
We know that the people of the region want that process, and that with the help, amongst other things, of the Commission's programme, they are learning to cooperate with one another.
Alle tre medlemsstater har holdt sig under de fastlagte henstillinger, og derfor var det heller ikke nødvendigt at indefryse midler. I henhold til Samhørighedsfonden er der imidlertid fastsat en konditionalitet, og derfor har vi ikke anden mulighed end at træffe foranstaltninger, hvis disse værdier overskrides.
And even if it has sometimes taken rather a long time for the funds to become available on the ground, the process of bringing together groups from different religious and cultural backgrounds to engage in joint discussions has already helped to create a substantial part of the structures, which the funds are designed to support.
Kommissionen har heller ingen alternative beslutningsmuligheder. ningsmuligheder.
I shall therefore greatly welcome it if the Irish presidency - and, in view of the events of last week, I am sure that it will do so - places a new, additional emphasis on these initiatives and gives them its full political support.
Vil Kommissionen erklære, at den er tilfreds med udviklingen i forbindelse med fredsog forsoningsprogrammet for Nordirland?
The Commission is endeavouring to identify and encourage practices whose effectiveness is proven.
Er Kommissionen tilfreds med den finansielle kontrol med og overvågning af programmet?
It therefore recently published, for the first time, a brochure on women as players in regional development, so as to demonstrate what can be successfully achieved in the various countries and regions of the Community.
Hvis dette kriterium fortsat skal gælde i fremtiden, burde vi faktisk drage konsekvenser af det.
Furthermore, in the context of pilot projects, the Commission will promote the settingup and expansion of regional information and business centres for women.
Jeg mener, at den drøftelse, vi skal have, alt i alt er bredere. Dette er ét element, og jeg mener, at vi vil skulle drøfte spørgsmålet yderligere.
In the URBAN pilot projects, under Article 10, there is provision for specific measures to promote equal opportunities through the strengthening of partnerships and in volvement of the public.
Wulf-Mathies, medlem af Kommissionen. - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. Nicholson, Kommissionen anser udviklingen i forbindelse med EU's freds- og forsoningsprogram for at være tilfredsstillende.
Thé URBAN II Community initiative includes support measures for the promotion of equal opportunities and the creation of jobs for women.
Det samme kan vi desværre ikke konstatere med hensyn til den politiske side af denne proces.
And although equal opportunities are not specifically referred to in the pilot projects under Article 10 in terms of regional planning, I have instructed my services to take this criterion into account in the process of selection and evaluation.
Om: Samhørighedsmidleme og det offentlige under skud
In future, consideration could also be given to promoting, through the Euro-partnerships, the development of commercial coop eration between undertakings owned or run by women, and placing particular emphasis on these businesses in the list drawn up for such arrangements.
Manglende opfyldelse af de konvergenskriterier med hensyn til forholdet mellem medlemsstaternes offentlige underskud og BNP, som fremgår af Maastricht traktaten, skal medføre inddragelse af støtten fra Samhørighedsfonden som middel til at mildne den negative virkning.
Wulf-Mathies, Member of the Commission. - (DE) Mr President, access to information and services is indeed very difficult for undertakings in the Union's disadvantaged regions, which are the priority target of Structural Fund assistance. In these regions, women as a whole participate
Det er korrekt, at det program, som Kommissionen vedtog den 28. juli, i løbet af 1995 endnu ikke medførte særlig store udgifter.
Izquierdo Rojo (PSE). - (ES) I should like to thank the Commissioner for her positive answer to my question.
Jeg vil imidlertid fortsat gøre en indsats, og jeg ville også være Dem taknemlig for at få konkrete oplysninger om, hvor det muligvis halter lidt.
For this purpose, invitations to submit pilot projects - which, pursuant to Article 10 of the ERDF Regulation concerning interregional cooperation, will receive Community funding - will be published in autumn 1996.
Og hvis De mener, at Kommissionen er skyld i det, så oplys mig fortsat direkte om det.
The Community funds of the order of ECU 110 million earmarked for the period 1996 to 1999 will be distributed among the following five fields of action.
70 mio ECU ud af fællesskabs midlerne på i alt 240 mio ECU skønnes i 1996 at blive anvendt til programmet i Nordirland.
I agree with what the Commissioner said, but I should like to draw attention to something else: in these very disadvantaged regions -those covered by Objective 1 - there is a prevailing culture of 'machismo'.
Yderligere 28 mio ECU ud af i alt 60 mio ECU anvendes i Irlands grænse områder.
The situation of women in these regions cannot be compared to those of women in Denmark or toe other Nordic countries, where 'machismo' is less pronounced.
Derfor mener vi, at næsten en tredjedel af de midler, der er bevilget til programmet, vil være anvendt inden udgangen af året.
Furthermore, they live in the poorest regions of toe poorest Member States.
Bortset fra tallene for de gennem førte udgifter er Kommissionen tilfreds med udviklingen i gennemførelsen af programmet på stedet.
Everything is stacked against these women, who are in need of this support.
Således er navn lig udviklingen i forbindelse med de 26 partnerskaber meget opmuntrende, da personer, som ikke tidligere har været vant til at tale sammen og i fællesskab træffe beslutning om den fremtidige udvikling i deres område, nu arbejder sammen som led heri.
So I believe that the Commissioner's answer will pave the way for a joint effort - an effort which, as far as the regional aspects are concerned, the women of Andalusia must carry out jointly with the Commission.
Hvad angår spørgsmålet om konsulenter, har vi naturligvis tit det problem, at netop de, der ikke er særlig meget inde i tingene, er afhængige -af at få konsulentbistand.
Thank you, Commissioner, for your positive reply, which makes clear your readiness to promote the situation of women.
I øvrigt var evnen til at kunne gennemføre en tilstrækkelig finansstyring et væsentligt kriterium for institutionernes udvælgelse. Til dem, der ikke er så fortrolige med EU's finansieringsprocedurer, som f.eks. de kreditformidlende organer og partnerskaberne, yder Kommissionen og de pågældende regeringsorganer faglig bistand, såfremt dette er nødvendigt.
Decisions on the distribution of the funds available will be taken following the selection of the proposed projects, on the basis of their quality.
Som andre medlemmer har jeg i dag modtaget et dokument over det irske formandskabs prioriteter.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the conference in Luleå but I understand that a great many exciting issues were discussed there.
Ligesom hr. Nicholsons spørgsmål var dette skrevet inden den seneste udvikling.
As I wrote in my question, various reports have appeared in Swedish newspapers concerning the promised support.
Nicholson (PPE). - (EN) Jeg til gerne takke kommissæren for et meget fyldigt svar i forbindelse med dette program.
If I see things correcdy, however, there are many very enterprising women in Andalusia - not least at the political level - and I have come to the conclusion that it cannot, in general, be said that the women of the southern Member States are less active in certain fields than those of toe northern Member States.
Da jeg stillede dette spørgsmål for nogle uger siden, fru WulfMathies, var tiderne selvfølgelig anderledes.
I believe that in terms of toe Union's support policy in this area, the important thing is to create networks so that women can learn from one another.
Men jeg foretrækker at behandle dette på nuværende tidspunkt.
This also facilitates exchanges of experience as regards successful projects and the ways in which toe activities of women in quite different situations in both rural and urban areas can be supported.
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) De ved, at det program, som Kommissionen har vedtaget for fred og forsoning i Nord irland og de tilgrænsende regioner i Irland, tager sigte på hurtig bistand og støtte til fredsprocessen.
As a parliamentarian and former advisor to small businesses and cooperatives and to businesswomen and women's networks I receive many questions concerning what kind of support exists and now of course also about this new support.
Det ville derfor glæde mig meget, hvis det irske formandskab - og jeg er sikker på, at det også vil gøre det i betragtning af hændelserne i de seneste uger - vil give dette en ny, yderligere prioritering og også sin fulde politiske støtte.
Has new money been made available or has 'old money' been reallocated and turned into a new form of support? If so, should this money be paid out directly by the Commission and not through the Member States?
Vil De som kommissær sikre, at de europæiske embedsmænd - hvilket er Deres ansvar og mit ansvar - ikke stiller urealistiske krav til projekterne, som i sidste instans gør dem uanvendelige?
In connection with Commissioner Wulf-Mathies' visit to Sweden, there have recently been reports in the Swedish press of a promise of fresh support for businesswomen.
Er kommissæren endvidere bekendt med, at betydelige beløb går til konsulenter til udarbejdelse af flotte brochurer og rapporter? Dette er klart ikke målet og formålet med programmet.
The scheme was to be set up this autumn and the aid paid direct-to women's networks by the Commission.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 48 af María Izquierdo Rojo (H-0579/96):
Who can apply, and what amounts will be involved?
Om: Særlig støtte og rådgivning til projekter om menneskelige ressourcer for kvinder i ugunstigt stil lede regioner
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) The funds for the specific pilot projects to which I referred are resources which are at the Commission's disposal in the context of Community initiatives and pilot projects.
Wulf-Mathies. - (DE) Hr. Nicholsen, De ved, atjeg personligt har insisteret på, at det går hurtigt, og at jeg også personligt meget intenst har opmærksomheden henvendt på, at vi rent faktisk vedtager projekter.
They represent new resources for the Member States in that they have not been distributed hitherto, but have been released in tranches.
Derfor har jeg også bedt om regelmæssigt at få forelagt listerne med godkendte . projekter, som så resulterer i de pågældende udbetalinger.
However, in view of the fact that we have at our disposal around ECU 170 billion for the period 1994 to 1999 for the Union's structural policies overall, they do not represent new resources as such.
Når jeg ser på de særdeles mange aktiviteter, der nu indledes - og jeg har også til i dag endnu en gang fået en tidsoversigt over beslutningerne - så har vi efter min mening gjort en stor indsats; jeg mener endog, at vi handler meget hurtigere for Irland end for andre.
In any event, they do not form part of the established programmes for the Member States; the Com mission will publish invitations to tender for these re sources in the Official Journal of the European Communities, which will then make it possible to apply directly to the Commission.
Vi talte tidligere om URBAN-initiativet i Storbritannien, hvor man med misundelse betragter f.eks. godkendelsen af
Wulf-Mathies, Member of the Commission. - (DE) Mr President, on 14 June 1996, a Community seminar on the scope for supporting businesswomen was held in Luleå, Sweden, in the context of the Euro-partnership 1996, within which small and mediumsized enterprises meet regularly in order to forge partnerships.
Kan der i denne sammenhæng tilbydes særlige tekniske støtteordninger, direkte rådgivning og administrative forenklinger? Hvilke tiltag er planlagt?
Questions not taken for lack of time will be answered in writing. (')
Jeg mener, at vi dermed i den seneste tid har bevist, at vi ikke kun anvender mainstreaming som overskrift for vor politik, men at vi også ønsker at gøre det gennemførligt i praksis.
We wish to see unconditional protection for human dignity; we wish to prevent life in any form from being treated as a commodity; and we want a public debate on forward-looking ethical issues in toe fields of biology and medicine.
Kvinderne dér deltager i mindre grad i erhvervslivet end i andre regioner i Unionen.
IN THE CHAIR: MR AVGERINOS Vice-President
Jeg er enig i det, kommissæren anfører, men jeg vil gerne tilføje noget.
What does unconditional protection for human dignity mean in practice?
For i disse ugunstigt stillede regioner, som kommer ind under mål nr. 1, er den sociale mandsdominans fremherskende. Disse kvinder befinder sig ikke i en situation, der kan sammen lignes med situationen for danske kvinder eller kvinder i andre nordiske lande, hvor den sociale mandsdominans -for nu at bruge dette ord - er mindre.
It means, for example, that we will spare people terrible pain if it is of no benefit to them.
Derudover lever disse kvinder i de fattigste medlemsstater og i de fattigste regioner. Alt går imod disse kvinder, som har brug for denne støtte, og jeg forstår svaret på mit spørgsmål som en åben dør til en fælles indsats.
It is therefore right that we should allow medical tests to be carried out on those who cannot give their consent only in certain clearly defined and exceptional cases, as specified quite clearly in paragraph 12.1.
En indsats, som kvinderne i Andalusien skal udføre sammen med Kommissionen på det regionale område.
Parliament must make it quite clear to the Council of Europe that there can be no way round this.
