Dengang drejede det sig om at få gen nemført en forenklet godkendelse af vedligeholdelsesfrø, hvorved den genetiske erosion af truede nytteplantevarieteter i det mindste forsøges begrænset.
My question to the Commissioner is, can a seed firm now have its analyses carried out in any recognized laboratory anywhere in Europe - that is, not only in that particular country's own state controlled laboratories, as certain countries are claiming?
Det drejer sig om et fællesskabsprogram til bevarelse, be skrivelse, indsamling og udnyttelse af genetiske ressour cer i landbruget.
Some experience in my own constituency leads me to say that we must produce seed of the highest quality.
Dette program har Parlamentet foreslået Kommissionen i 1993, efter at det i Rio blev konstateret,
To achieve this we must have strong inspection measures in place.
De ved, at disse direktiver på landbrugsområdet forhandles i henhold til artikel 43, og i så fald er Europa-Parlamentet kun en høringsinstans.
But while we must have inspection measures, they must not be overly bureaucratic, because that is one of the problems that aggravates farmers most.
Når vi har indbragt vores
The measures
Graefe zu Baringdorf ting ved EU, der irriterer borgerne, når det ser ud til at ind føre nye regler eller fjerne eksisterende rettigheder uden at begrunde det.
For example, some rare breeds of cattle, now almost extinct, may provide dis ease resistant traits and food producing improvements when cross-bred with conventional breeds.
Denne opfattelse er normalt fejlagtig -resultatet af boulevardpressens forvrængning af kendsgerningerne.
must be so structured that they gain the confidence not only of the producer but of all involved in the industry.
at arternes mangfoldighed er en af de vigtigste forudsætninger for menneskehedens civilisationsmuligheder på denne klode.
So we must make the investment, not only in records and inventories, but also in gene banking and conservation of what still remains.'
Herunder skal der også gøres en indsats, således at denne sikkerhed og denne sikring af den gene tiske mangfoldighed - eventuelt også en forbedring af den - ikke kun garanteres ved hjælp af data og genbanker, men at landbruget så vidt muligt også tilstræber denne ge netiske mangfoldighed i praksis.
We must also be sensitive to the needs ofthe seed produc ers, so I would certainly appeal for the careful and sensible implementation of this particular regulation.
Mange har udtrykt bekymring over, at den store rigdom af sorter, som stadig findes i Den Europæiske Unions med lemsstater, kan blive reduceret til nogle få standardsorter i hele Europa som et resultat af Fællesskabets officielle politik.
In conclusion, in my opinion, one ofthe most important aspects of conservation of seeds and animals is the ever increasing possibilities in the area of biotechnology which these genetic resources may provide for the absolute benefit of a rapidly growing world population, much of which is already undernourished in many regions ofthe southern hemisphere.
Derfor glæder Den Socialdemokratiske Gruppe sig over Kommissionens forslag om at gøre det lettere at tilføje nye sorter på listen over anerkendte sorter.
The approach to research through biotechnology will also give us seeds and plants with the ability to survive and produce in arid, infertile areas with above normal temper atures and shallow soils.
Dette program blev desværre påbegyndt noget tøvende af Kommissionen.
Happart (PSE). - (FR) Madam President, I am delighted that the Commission is simplifying the certification pro cedure for seeds intended for propagation.
Af de ECU 20 millioner, der i løbet af fem år blev stillet til rådighed, blev budgetlinjen for 1997 tilmed standset helt. Problemet er tilsyneladende, at det her kniber med personale.
The Member States will have to show themselves worthy of each others' confidence and the confidence of the Commission, the guarantor of the Treaties, by the care they take in ex ercising the controls for which they are responsible.
Det er uforståeligt, da der på . andre områder jo åbenbart findes personale, der kunne omplaceres, men åbenbart - jeg får sikkert besked af kommissæren om lidt - er dette program alligevel ikke et af flagskibene i DG VI. Hvis De retter mig, ville jeg være glad.
Ab solute accuracy in exercising the various controls will have to rid us at last of our phobia of fraud of all kinds which, like a cancer, eats away at confidence in the con struction of our Europe.
Programmet har et anseeligt renomme på internationalt plan.
We often hear it said that Europe is involved in too many things.
Da der i 1996 i Leipzig afholdtes en WHO-konfe-rence om den genetiske mangfoldighed, var EU den ene ste region i verden, der i det hele taget kunne præsentere et sådant program.
I believe that Europe is facing up to its responsibility by ensuring control of the conservation and safe guarding of seeds, our joint world heritage.
Det var interessant, i hvor høj grad Kommissionen med rette over for omverdenen roste sin indsats på dette område.
Furthermore, in the decades and centuries to come, these seeds will need to be used as a standard to restore certain character istics to the plant species which have undergone genetic modification.
Men jeg mener, at man så også må tage de nødvendig konsekvenser ved fortsættelsen og gennemførelsen af dette program.
In some cases it is impossible to predict the harmful or perverse effects which could result from these practices, which are not always necessary for the wellbeing of mankind.
Jeg har flere sådanne firmaer i min valgkreds og anerkender værdien af deres arbejde med at udvikle afgrøder og frøsorter, der er resistente over for skadedyr og særligt velegnede til bestemte klima-og jordbundstyper.
It is important for common regulations to be drawn up in the area of certification as regards seed types and ap proved inspectors. However, we must guard against los ing confidence in the certification system by allowing ab solutely anything under the sun to be accredited.
Men det er imidlertid vigtigt at finde den rette balance mellem de kommercielle og ikkekommercielle avleres interesser og behovet for at certificere frø, der skal bevares, det vil sige planter, der er nyttige for biodiversiteten.
Firstly, it would be far too expensive, because the certification process for new seed types is long and costly. Certifiable seed types should be those intended for cultivation.
Kun på denne måde opnår vi den stabilitet, der er nødvendig på langt sigt.
Madam President, Commissioner, I believe that this sound report puts us on the right track.
Jeg vil begrænse mig til spørgsmålene om frø og handel med frø.
Inspectors will have to be authorized by the state.
Frø er - og det ved vi alle - et vigtigt driftsmiddel for landbruget, og det er udgør egentlig også grundlaget for produktionen af næringsmidler.
We must ensure that farmers in all Member States are treated equally by the inspectors.
I sidste ende er forsyningen med gode frø altså også forudsætningen for at kunne sikre fødevarer.
There is some cause for concern at developments tending towards the random awarding of inspection contracts.
Hardstaff (PSE). - (EN) Fru formand, på min gruppes vegne vil jeg gerne gratulere hr. Graefe zu Baringdorf med hans to fremragende betænkninger.
Wibe (PSE). - (SV) Madam President, in Amendment No 1 the rapporteur suggests that the new inspectors should be sworn in before they are officially licensed.
På denne baggrund har Kommissionen altså nu fremsat dette forslag.
I do not know exactly what the situation is in other countries, but in the Nordic countries there is only one professional group that swears an oath of office, and that is the judiciary.
Avlerne og de, der formerer, skal i højere grad inddrages i dette godkendelsessystem. En for enkling er ønskelig.
It is very important that we prepare an up-to-date inventory of the state and nature of the genetic resource base in agriculture.
Forenkling betyder også, at uofficielle inspektører kan udføre de foreskrevne kontroller.
It is also necessary to conserve and protect these valuable resources of both seeds and animals.
I den forbindelse kommer frøfirmaerne - hr.Graefe zu Ba-
Many varieties of seed, both cereal and vegetable, are no longer in everyday use.
Mayer netværks rolle som en offentlig service for EU, hvilket på forhånd er en god ting.
Wibe reduction in the level of official inspections to 5 % and 15 % respectively.
De er prædestinerede til at lade de­res viden og deres færdigheder indgå i kontrollerne. Der er ganske vist en risiko for interessekonflikter, som man må forebygge.
Requiring inspectors to be sworn in would unfortunately, I believe, merely over-complicate the whole situ ation.
Alt i alt kan vi i EVP­gruppen acceptere betænkningen. Den indeholder de nødvendige tilføjelser. Mange tak, hr. Graefe zu Baringdorf, især for Deres stædighed!
Amendment No 3, which contains the proposal that action shall be taken in the event of contravention by licensed in spectors of the rules governing official examinations, can also be accepted in principle by the Commission.
Men De vil uden tvivl mene, at jeg har negative bagtanker.
Furthermore, for legal reasons the amendment should be edited and an appropriate wording employed throughout.
Nicholson (I­EDN). ­ (EN) Fru formand, først vil jeg gerne lykønske ordføreren med begge betænkninger.
Fischler, Member of the Commission. - (DE) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should first like to thank the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Develop ment, and in particular the rapporteur, Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf, for the very constructive way in which the Com mission's proposal has been handled.
Jeg er enig i, at man skal have en kontrol, som kan sikre, at det frø, der kommer i handelen, har den rette kvalitet og lever op til kravene.
Let me now move on to the second item in this joint de bate.
Mit spørgsmål til kommissæren er: Forholder det sig sådan, at et frøfirma nu kan få sine analyser fore­taget hvor som helst i Europa, under forudsætning af at la­boratoriet er anerkendt, at det altså ikke kun er landets egne statskontrollerede laboratorier, der kan foretage disse analyser, som visse lande påstår?
At this juncture I also wish to thank the rapporteur for the keen interest shown in Regulation 1467/94 and I can assure him that the European Parliament's position will be of great value to the Commission in its deliberations on how to proceed with this regulation.
For at opnå dette er der behov for strenge inspektionsforanstaltninger.
Firstly, to extend the scope of the current provisions for the carrying out of temporary experiments, by which alternatives can be explored for improving the provisions laid down in these directives.
Selvom in­gen ønsker at have inspektionsforanstaltninger, er det den eneste måde at gennemføre en nøjagtig kontrol på.
Secondly, to facilitate the inclusion of new plants in the catalogue of plants covered by the direc tive, and thirdly, to lay down provisions on the suitability of plant names.
Så et par bemærkninger om diversiteten af vores frø. Jeg tager lidt afstand fra Graefe zu Baringdorfs udtalelser, for hvis man ønsker et frømarked, så bliver man nødt til at have en vis kvalitet, og man bør nøje påse, at det frø, man sælger, også har den kvalitet, der påstås.
The Commission's proposal also simplifies the procedures used for the official recognition of certified seed in respect of the clause by which plant stocks which are to be used for seed production do not necessarily have to be inspected by the official agents of the seed certification authority, but may also be certified by other inspectors.
Derfor skal man være forsigtig med den store diversitet, der findes.
Independent persons, appointed by companies engaged in seed production, seed propagation, seed processing and seed distribution, could in future also act as seed inspec tors.
Man skal passe på, at alt det, der findes i genbanker, ikke kom­mer ud i handelen og ødelægger vores marked, både ver­densmarkedet og det europæiske marked.
In this connection I should like to point out that the answer to Mr Kofoed's question is 'yes'.
Men selvom vi skal have inspektionsforanstaltninger, må de ikke være overbureaukratiske, for det er et af de pro­blemer, landmændene er mest irriterede over.
In addition, I would like to thank the members of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development for the generally positive way in which they have received the Commission's report.
Disse for­anstaltninger skal være så strukturerede, at de vækker til­lid ikke kun hos producenten, men hos alle inden for er­hvervet.
This report shows that the regulation in question is already allowing important work to be done in the Member States, and that this is contributing to the objectives of the common agricultural policy, particularly in respect of the relationship between agriculture and environmental protection.
Vi skal også være lydhøre over for frøproducenterne, så jeg vil bestemt opfordre til, at netop denne forordning gennemføres på en forsigtig og fornuftig måde.
In his report, Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf indicated that the budget funds for Regulation 1467 must be increased and that greater manpower resources must be deployed in this sector.
Den ene af de to forordninger, vi debatterer her i dag i forbindelse med betænkningen af Graefe zu Baringdorf, har til formål på EU­plan at sam­ordne, støtte og fremme arbejdet med at konservere, ka­rakterisere, indsamle og udnytte genetiske ressourcer in­den for landbruget.
I should therefore just like to say something about the only aspect which has given cause for slight controversy, namely the on-site inspections.
Happart (PSE). ­ (FR) Fru formand, jeg glæder mig over, at Kommissionen nu forenkler proceduren for god­kendelse af frø bestemt til masseproduktion.
Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf referred to the procedure laid down in Article 43.
For at ud­øvelsen af kontrollen ­ der er overdraget staterne af de an­dre medlemsstater og Kommissionen, som er garant for traktaterne ­ skal være seriøs, vil det være nødvendigt, at staterne viser, at de er værdige til denne tillid.
Each in stitution has to be fully aware of its function. But it is not my personal wish, nor that of my colleagues, to disregard the procedure on position taking simply because it is only a position and nothing more.
Det er nød­vendigt, at den absolutte opretning i udførelsen af de for­skellige kontroller endeligt befrier os for angsten for svin­del af enhver art, der som en kræft underminerer tilliden i det EU, vi er i gang med at opbygge.
On the contrary, where it is possible and when it is justified for practical reasons, we shall of course take appropriate account of the amend ments which are being submitted here in Parliament.
Disse genetiske ressourcer kommer til at bestå af samtlige traditionelle vegetabilske og animalske variationer, der traditionelt svarer til geografiske zoner eller mere fast af­grænsede områder.
The Commission also accepts Amendment No 1, relating to the swearing-in of inspectors, in the form proposed by the rapporteur, and likewise Amendment No 5, with a small alteration.
Ressourcerne repræsenterer et stort udvalg, en stor mangfoldighed af den genetiske kulturarv, afrobuste og hårdføre planter og dyr.
However, we are ofthe opinion that both amendments taken together fail to convey the right meaning.
Betænkningen af Graefe zu Baringdorf, som vi godken­der, og som jeg i øvrigt gerne på min gruppes vegne vil rose, understreger således med god grund al den interesse, vi har i at beskytte de forskellige vegetabilske og animal­ske arter for at bevare de gener, der kunne være nyttige for landbruget i fremtiden.
Amendment No 2 is acceptable to the Commission pro vided it is extended to take account of the amended deci sion of 1995, which further provides in certain cases for a
Ofte lader man forstå, at EU beskæftiger sig for meget med alting. Jeg mener, at EU spiller sin rolle som ansvar­lig ved at sikre en kontrol med at konservere og bevare den fælles kulturarv for hele verden, som disse frø udgør.
The Commission is very aware ofthe problems which ex ist in this area, and as far as staffing levels are concerned I can only point out once again that in DG VI we are still experiencing major difficulties in providing the appropriate level of cover for all the tasks in hand.
Disse frø vil endvidere i de kommende årtier og århund­reder fungere som standardreferencer for at afhjælpe visse forvanskninger af vegetabilske arter, som vil blive underkastet genetiske manipulationer, og for hvilke man ikke kan forudsige, hvilke skæbnesvangre eller fordær­vende virkninger en sådan praksis i visse tilfælde måtte have, men den er stadig ikke nødvendig for menneskets velbefindende.
As regards the comment often made in this House that all these tasks could easily be attended to by redeploying personnel, I should just like to record that I stand by what I have already said, namely that we are willing at any time to have the offices of DG VI undergo public screening. Then eve ryone can tell us which operations are to be cancelled or postponed.
Betænkningen fremhæver også ­ ganske vist mere indi­rekte ­ men alligevel, disse »bankers« og disse bevarende

Vi bør således på tage os hele ansvaret for at være præcise i fortegnelserne, og i hvordan vi foretager indsamlingerne for ikke at glemme nogen som helst art eller disses primære afledninger. Jeg tror, fru formand og hr. kommissær, át vi med denne fine betænkning er på det rette spor
I should, however, like to express my thanks to Parliament once again for the interest it has shown in this report and for the positive manner in which it has been received.
Gillis (PPE). - (EN) Fru formand, først vil jeg gerne takke Kommissionen, fordi den tager dette emne op igen.
through changes in agricultural practice, and we would then have an awful lot of catching up to do.
Det må sikres, at der er statskontrol med inspektørerne.
President. - Thank you, Commissioner Fischler.
Det kan hver ken være i landmændenes eller forbrugernes interesse.
The rapporteur has asked for the floor.
Wibe (PSE). - (SV) Fru formand, i ændringsforslag 1 foreslår ordføreren, at de nye inspektører skal aflægge ed, før de bliver officielt anerkendt.
Graefe zu Baringdorf (V), rapporteur. - (DE) Madam President, I should like briefly to pick up on two points.
Jeg kan personligt ikke støtte det forslag.
The first concerns the matter of swearing-in.
Mange frøsorter til både korn og grøntsager anvendes ikke længere hver dag.
In our country it is customary for persons taking up public positions to be sworn in.
Vi må gøre, hvad vi kan, for at beskytte og bevare dem, så det bliver muligt at bruge dem i fremtiden.
This practice may possibly be unusual.
Jeg ved ikke nøjagtig, hvordan det er i andre lande, men i de nordiske lande er der i det mindste kun en erhvervsgruppe, som afgiver embedsløfte, nemlig dommere.
It is intended not only as a commitment to duty but also to ensure impartiality in cases involving mutual interests.
Des værre ville det nok bare vække morskab, hvis vi også tvang inspektører af kartofler og blomsterfrø til at af lægge sådanne eder.
There are indeed inspectors who also work for seed com panies.
Desuden ville det hverken gøre til el ler fra med hensyn til mulighederne for at idømme straf ved f.eks. en forkert eller svigagtig inspektion.
The report makes a reference to this and indicates that inspectors have to be given greater independence to carry out their work without pressure from other quarters.
Det kræver økonomisk støtte, da dette arbejde udføres af kærlighed og ikke for pengenes skyld.
Fischler. - (DE) Madam President, I would like to look at this question once again, for it seems to me to be an important one.
Fischler, medlem af Kommissionen. - (DE) Fru formand, mine højtærede damer og herrer parlamentsmedlemmer, jeg vil først takke Udvalget om Landbrug og Udvikling af Landdistrikter og især Dem, hr. Graefe zu Baringdorf som ordfører, for den virkeligt konstruktive behandling af kommissionsforslaget.
Within the framework of the accession pro cedures and the new funding packages which are to be provided from the year 2000, it is planned to give priority to developing the processing sector and to creating a stronger management structure and a more effective environmental policy in agriculture, with ECU 500 million to be made available to the 10 applicant countries for agricultural purposes.
Det gjaldt jo om at sikre, at der sker en tilpasning af syv frøhandelsdirektiver fra de sene tressere og tidlige halvfjerdsere, således at handelen med frø inden for Den Europæiske Union udformes mere klart og enkelt, men også for at lette den.
I am quite prepared, particularly now when there is a need for programmes to be drawn up in talks with the countries concerned, to bring this matter up during these discussions and to make the applicant nations aware of the importance of this issue.
Iversen (PSE). - Fru formand Jeg vil gerne begynde med at takke ordføreren for den vellykkede betænkning.
My second point is a question for you, Mr Fischler.
Det er vigtigt, at der bliver udformet fælles regler for certificeringsområdet, både hvad angår frøtyper og kontrolinstanser. Det skal dog sikres, at man ikke mister tilliden til certificeringssystemet ved at tillade, at alt mellem himmel og jord kan blive certificeret.
The second report states that we think it would be sensible for this programme - and I am now also extending this to pro grammes covered by Regulation 2078 - to be made avail able to those countries in the transitional phase of mem bership.
De frøtyper, der skal certificeres, skal kunne bruges i dyrkningsøjemed.
I am not looking here for a promise which you cannot give us at this juncture.
For det andet vil behandlingstiden for en certificering
But the fact remains that we now have to look at this issue, because in the countries concerned such resources could well be lost partly

I går blev der inden afstemningen sagt, at afstemningen sluttede kvarter over et.
Before voting commenced yesterday morning, it was reported that voting would be suspended at a quarter past one.
Nu vil jeg gerne spørge, om det er Præsidiets hensigt at indføre skiftende afstemningstider?
I would like to ask whether the Bureau intends to introduce variable voting times.
Den en gang stemmer vi til kl. et, den næste til kvarter over et og derefter til halv to.
Sometimes we vote until one o'clock, other times until a quarter past or half past one.
Det virker lidt vilkårligt. Jeg føler mig som offer for, at afstemningen afsluttes kvarter over et.
It all seems rather arbitrary.
Jeg anmoder Præsidiet om at fremsætte et konkret forslag om at anvende faste afstemningstider, så sådan noget undgås.
I would like to ask the Bureau to put forward concrete proposals on fixed voting times so that this sort of thing cannot happen.
