Papoutsis, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EL) Hr. for mand, mine damer og herrer, Kommissionen vedtog for slaget til direktiv om rationelle planlægningsmetoder i september 1995. Formålet med forslaget var som bekendt at bidrage til fællesskabsmålet om mindskelse af C02-ud-ledningerne.
Throughout the process of negotiating the Spanish agree­ments, the Commission showed the greatest possible re­spect towards all the parties involved in the dialogue, nat­urally making it clear that it was willing to cooperate at any time and also to express its opinion if asked to do so.
Mange af Europa-Parlamentets ændringsforslag blev ind arbejdet i det ændrede forslag og var med til at gøre direktivet mere klart.
The Commission notes, however, that the social partners taking part in the negotiations made no approach to it, even though they were perfectly aware of their rights in the matter.
Hvad kan vi så gøre for at gøre alle, tilhængere som mod standere i Den Gabonesiske Republik, bekendt med, at de har udspillet?
Papoutsis. ­ (EL) I quite agree with you, Mrs McNally, that this is a particularly important and topical objective, especially since we are operating in the context of negoti­ations based on the commitments we entered into in Kyoto.
Hvad kan vi derudover gøre for offentligt at gøre opmærksom på, at vi ikke er ligeglade med den de mokratiske proces i Den Gabonesiske Republik?
I too genuinely believe that carbon dioxide emis­sions from electric power generation account for over a third of the total carbon dioxide emissions in the Euro­pean Union.
Hvad kan vi gøre lige nu og her?
That is why we must find new ways and methods to restrict those emissions.
De taler om uddannelse, og i virkeligheden er det jo sådan, at jo længere tingene skrider frem, jo sværere bliver det at iværksætte en uddannelse af observatørerne.
I sincerely believe, and that is why both I and the Commission insist, that a directive would be a very important contribution towards the efforts by Member States to achieve that target.
Pinheiro. - (FR) Jeg deler Deres bekymring med hensyn til tiden, der går, især fordi Den Gabonesiske Republik i dag er et ekstremt vigtigt land i denne del af Afrika.
President. ­ Question No 41 by Ludivina Garcia Arias (H­0852/98)
Vi ved alle, at præsident Omar Bongo er chef for de afrikanske ledere.
Subject: Approved state aid to the HUNOSA mining company
Er han enig med mig i, at et direktiv af denne art ville være et fremragende bidrag til at give os troværdighed i forhandlingerne i Buenos Aires, som koordineres - ud fra Den Europæiske Unions synspunkt - af kommissær Bjerregaard, med hvem, kan jeg forstå, han har et tæt samarbejde?
As for the amendments which Mrs Garcia Arias says were made to the text prepared by the Spanish authorities, the Commission never asked for additional production cuts by HUNOSA.
Energi effektivitet er virkelig nøglen til at opfylde de løfter, vi gav i Kyoto, særligt i den hjemlige sektor.
The Commission's comments concerning that company's production in 2001 are based on a sub­stantial and transparent analysis of developments over the last few years.
Det er i den hjemlige sektor, at vi har brug for at finde måder, hvorpå vi kan opfordre virksomheder til at levere ikke blot elektricitet eller gas, men elektricitet eller gas som en middel til at få kolde eller varme huse, køleskabe, den elektricitet, der er behov for. Mange mennesker kan ikke foretage så danne investeringer af egen vilje.
And that analysis showed that, because of the theoretical basis of certain calculations put before it, the production from underground seams envisaged in the said agreements for 2001 would not in reality be reduced by the amount estimated.
Der er ikke tale om at yde finansiel støtte, for det har Den Gabonesiske Republik ikke brug for, men uddannelse, og en god uddannelse, er meget vigtig. Kommissionens brev af 3. september fortjener et svar, og jeg tror, vi får et svar.
Mr President, let me emphasise that Mrs Garcia Arias was able to experience the openness and receptiveness of the Commission in person when she took an interest in dis­cussing the problems of the HUNOSA company.
Og jeg kan forsikre Dem om, at jeg efter dette spørgsmål personligt vil undersøge, hvad der foregår, og insistere på, at vi får et svar snarest muligt.
We are always at Mrs Garcia Arias's disposal to inform her about everything which was drawn to our attention and which we knew about at that time.
Spørgsmål til hr. Papoutsis
I give the floor to Mr Papoutsis to answer Mrs Garcia Arias's question.
Papoutsis. - (EL) Fru McNally, jeg er helt enig med Dem i, at dette er et meget vigtigt mål, som også er aktuelt, især fordi vi er midt i forhandlingerne omkring de forpligtelser, vi indgik i Kyoto.
Garcia Arias (PSE). ­ (ES) Perhaps the question should have been: how vigorously has the Spanish Government defended or explained the contents of the Hunosa plan?
Det er også min opfattelse, at elektricitetsbranchens C02-udledninger repræsenterer over en tredjedel af de samlede C02-udledninger i Den Euro pæiske Union.
According to rumours and comments in circulation, the government and Mr Benavides agreed a document relat­ing to the second stage of cuts.
Og det er stadig min faste overbevisning, Kommissionens faste overbevisning, at et direktiv ville være et betydeligt bidrag til medlemmernes bestræbelser for at opnå dette mål.
And it is a positive element that attention was paid to the future of the work­ · ing people affected and the future of their families, and that measures are also envisaged for the economic con­version of coal­mining areas with a view to finding alter­native ways and means of economic development.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 40 af Eryl McNally (H-0844/98):
When Deci­sion 3632 was discussed here in Parliament, I was the rap­porteur.
Formanden.· - Spørgsmål nr. 41 af Ludivina García Arias (H-0852/98):
You know that it does, in fact, regulate Commu­nity interventions.
Om: Direktiv om rationelle planlægningsmetoder
I also be­lieve that the directive is being interpreted in a rather lim­ited manner as we are talking about reducing costs here and that does not necessarily mean reducing production.
Om: Offentlig støtte til mineindustrien HUNOSA
Any company cart increase production and reduce the
Hvilke fremskridt er der sket i forbindelse med genforelæggelsen af direktivet om rationelle planlægningsmetoder eller tilsvarende retsakter?
Yet when the Commission expresses its opinion about that restructuring, it has a duty to ensure that the decisions taken are compatible with the provisions of the Treaties.
Europa-Kommissionen har omsider godkendt den spanske støtteplan til mineindustrien, men den har krævet nye nedskæringer i kulproduktionen fra mine industrien HUNOSA, hvilket betyder, at den for an den gang ikke respekterer aftalen mellem den spanske
The Commission's decision on aid for the Spanish coal­mining industry is indeed an important one. For the HUNOSA company alone, aid was approved to the tune of almost PTA 262 400 million, i.e. ECU 1 590 million.
Hr. Papoutsis, jeg byder Dem velkommen og beder Dem besvare fru McNallys spørgsmål.
The Commission made very great efforts to reach a deci­sion which helps the industry and which it considers com­
Vi står altid til fru García Arias' rådighed med oplysninger om alle de spørgsmål, der er blevet rejst i den forbindelse, og som vi har kendskab til.
Beyond that, since the conclusion of the agreement, the Commission has never come back to ask for additional production cuts, as I explained earlier in response to Mrs Garcia Arias's supplementary question, apart from a return to the correct way of estimating the, production level in 2001. That is all.
Hr. Papoutsis, jeg beder Dem besvare fru García Arias' spørgsmål.
President - Question No 42 by Esko Seppänen (H-0858/98)
García Arias (PSE). - (ES) Måske skulle spørgsmålet have været: Med hvilken styrke har den spanske regering forsvaret eller forklaret HUNOSA-planens aspekter?
Subject: Use of appropriations for energy programmes grammes
Alligevel, hr. kommissær, er jeg i tvivl.
The bulk of renewable energy now in use is hydroelectric.
Som De ved, regulerer den faktisk Fællesskabets interventioner.
For practical reasons it will be difficult to in crease the use of this type of energy.
Jeg mener desuden, at der laves en restriktiv fortolkning af direktivet, for vi taler om retningsgivende reduktion af omkostningerne, og det betyder ikke reduktion af produktionen.
This being so, the objective of achieving a six percentage point.increase is highly ambitious and is unlikely to be attained with the resources currently allocated.
En hvilken som helst virksomhed kan producere mere og formindske pro duktomkostningerne.
Will the EU increase the funding of programmes to promote the attainment of the objectives?
Jeg forstår stadig ikke disse virksomhedskriterier.
I give the floor to Mr Papoutsis to answer Mr Seppänen's question.
Når Kommissionen udtaler sig om denne omlægning, er det imidlertid dens pligt at garantere, at de beslutninger, der træffes, er i overensstemmelse med traktatens bestemmelser.
The Commission also respected the agreements signed between Spanish companies concerning cuts in production.
Kommissionens beslutninger vedrørende støtte til den spanske mineindustri er en meget vigtig beslutning.
From the analysis carried out by the Commission's services, it emerged that the production of 2 100 000 tonnes in 2001 from underground seams proposed by Spain for the HU NOSA company corresponded almost exactly to production in 1997 from the underground seams.
Virksomheden HUNOSA alene fik næsten 262,4 milliarder pesetas i støtte, som svarer til ECU 1,59 milliard.
So the Commission took into account the aim of the net cut-back in annual production mentioned precisely in the agreements which had been signed, and held to this rigorously.
Kommissionen gjorde meget ud af at træffe en beslutning, der kan hjælpe industrien, en beslutning, som den kan se, er i overensstemmelse med fællesskabsretten, og som den nu kan forsvare over for Domstolen, hvis det bliver nød vendigt.
We did not call for additional cut-backs, and I repeat that we will continue to deal with this issue with the greatest possible degree of social sensitivity, recognising the special problems which exist in the Asturias re gion.
Papoutsis. - (EL) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne gentage, at Europa-Kommissionen altid er villig til at samarbejde med medlemsstaterne, når der er problemer af følsom ka rakter på nationalt plan, og især når det er problemer af særlig følsom social og regional karakter.
Papoutsis, Member of the Commission. - (EL) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission agrees that the objective set by the White Paper's plan of action for renewable energy sources, i.e. to double the contribution of those sources to the Union's energy supply from 6 % to 12 % by 2001, is an ambitious but at the same time a realistic objective.
I dette tilfælde har Europa-Kommissionen gjort brug af alle midler til at håndtere det aktuelle problem med konsekvens.
The White Paper analyses in some de tail the way in which that overall target can be achieved, on the basis of the most reliable estimates available of the probable contribution from each renewable source.
Under forhandlingerne om de spanske aftaler viste Europa-Kommissionen stor respekt over for de forskel lige parter, der deltog i dialogen, og erklærede, at den til hver tid var parat til at samarbejde og udtale sig, hvis par terne ønskede det.
The proposal presented on the strategy for increasing re newable energy sources in each sector is based on the best combination of technologies and makes it possible for the Union to achieve its aim within the framework of existing technical, practical and economic limitations.
Kommissionen gør imidlertid opmærksom på, at arbejdsmarkedets parter, som deltog i disse for handlinger, ikke tog kontakt til Kommissionen, selvom de var underrettet om deres rettigheder i denne henseende.
Estimates of the future share of the various renewable sources are certainly indicative, and will help in the monitoring of progress and to ensure that each technology is utilised within a clear policy framework.
Hvad angår de ændringer, som fru García Arias henviser til i de spanske myndigheders tekst, kan jeg sige, at Kom missionen på intet tidspunkt har krævet yderligere ned skæringer i HUNOSA's produktion.
González Alvarez (GUE/NGL). - (ES) I believe that it will be no surprise to Mr Papoutsis that Mrs Garcia Arias and I are the Members who speak when discussing Hunosa, as we are Asturians.
Europa-Kommissionens kommentarer vedrørende den pågældende virksom heds produktion i år 2001 hidrører fra en grundig og klar analyse af de sidste års udvikling.
I understand what he is saying about the aid from the Commission and I understand when he talks of the need for reductions.
Kommissionen var derfor ikke i stand til at acceptere metoden til beregning af aktivitetsnedskæringen, hvorfor den krævede, af aftalen blev gennemført på grundlag af de reelle tal.
Therefore, our concern is: why does the Commission not join forces with the Spanish Government and the trade unions to draw up a definitive plan, one which does not vary depending on the government's or the Commission's situation at that particular time?
Jeg vil tillade mig at gøre opmærksom på, at fru García Arias selv har haft lejlighed til at konstatere, hvor åbent og imødekommende Europa-Kommissionen har forholdt sig til hendes interesse for HUNOSA's problemer.
Papoutsis. - (EL) Mr President, yet again I wish to repeat that the Commission was at the disposal of the Spanish authorities and the social partners at any time during the agreement's negotiation.
Endvidere har Europa-Kommissionen respekteret de aftaler, der er indgået mellem de spanske parter, hvad angår produktionsnedskæringer.
It is true that most renewable energy technologies are in the phase of technical maturation.
Det betyder, at der ikke ville være nogen produktionsnedgang i de underjordiske miner og heller ingen indskrænkning i aktiviteten.
This also means that the cost of producing energy from renewable sources is continually falling, steadily decreasing.
Kommissionen har derfor taget målet om en ren produktionsnedskæring i betragtning, som netop også indgår i de aftaler, der er under skrevet, og respekteret dette fuldt ud.
So we are at a stage when great efforts are needed to promote them in the market and to apply the policy of promoting renewable energy sources in practice, in all the Member States.
Vi har ikke krævet yderligere nedskæringer, og jeg fastholder, at vi fortsat vil behandle denne sag med størst mulig følsomhed i anerkendelse af de særlige problemer, der eksisterer i Asturien. rien.
It is clear that, in addition to financing basic research and demonstrations, at the stage we have reached today it is Still necessary to continue providing economic support for renewable energy sources.
6.10.98 det mål, der opstilles i hvidbogens handlingsplan om ved varende energikilder, vedrørende en fordobling af disse kilders bidrag til energiforsyningen i EU fra 6 % til 12 % i år 2010, er ambitiøst, men også realistisk.
Community programmes to help industry produce cheaper technology, while at the same time making it pos sible for the regions and large cities of the Member States to exploit the new technologies for making use of renew able energy sources.
Det forslag, der fremlægges i strategien for en forøgelse af anvendelsen af vedvarende energikilder i de enkelte sektorer, bygger på den bedste kombination af teknologier og giver EU mulighed for at nå sit mål inden for de tekniske, praktiske og økonomiske rammer.
As for the level of finance, the Commission agrees that it is important to secure the necessary appropriations for the promotion of renewable sources.
Vurderingen med hensyn til de forskellige vedvarende kilders fremtidige andel af produktionen er under alle omstændigheder vejledende og betyder, at fremskridtene kan følges, og at man kan sikre, at de enkelte teknologier udnyttes inden for en klar politisk ramme.
The Altener programme aims precisely to promote the use of renewable energy sources in the Community and is part, of the Commission's proposal for a framework programme on energy, which Parliament will debate on Thursday/The Commission's proposal goes together with an indicative financial allocation covering the period 1998 to 2002.
González Alvarez (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Jeg tror ikke, hr. Papoutsis undrer sig over, at det er fru García Arias og mig, som begge er fra Asturien, der fremkommer med indlæg.
Question No 44 by Mihail Papayannakis, which has been taken over by Mr Alavanos (H-0916/98)
Jeg forstår det, han siger om den støtte, der er gi vet af Kommissionen.
Subject: Sex tourism involving children
Jeg forstår det, han siger om nød vendigheden af nedskæringer, og jeg takker for, at han foreslår forhandling med arbejdsmarkedets parter.
The allocation refers to an increase in the budget for Al tener from ECU 14.4 million in 1998 to ECU 17.1 million in 2002.1 think it is clear that this represents a substantial increase compared with the present funding for Altener.
Men det, der sker, hr. Papoutsis, er, at regeringen laver en af tale med arbejdsmarkedets parter: en aftale om reduktion af arbejdspladser og produktion.
However, as you know, it is you in the European Parliament together with the Council who have the final say in budgetary matters.
Vi befinder os altså i en fase, der kræver en ekstra indsats for at fremme disse kilder på markedet og gen nemføre en politik, der fremmer anvendelsen af vedva rende energikilder i praksis i alle medlemsstater. Ud over støtten til grundforskning og demonstration er det også klart nødvendigt, at vi på nuværende tidspunkt fortsætter den økonomiske støtte til de vedvarende energikilder.
The Commissioner responsible for tourism has said that the initial response by European public opinion will prompt the EU to take practical measures . aimed at combating tourism based on the sexual ex ploitation of children, a practice particularly wide spread in the countries of Asia, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe and closely linked to poverty, social exclusion and international trade in minors. nors.
Papoutsis. - (EL) Hr. formand, jeg vil endnu en gang gøre opmærksom på, at Europa-Kommissionen har stået til rådighed for de spanske myndigheder og arbejdsmarkedets parter under forhandlingen om aftalen.
,- > Will the Commission say whether there is a common Seppänen (GUE/NGL). - (FI) Mr President, Commissioner, the technological possibilities of renewable en ergy are infinite and they have been analysed in a white paper.
Herudover består Europa-Kommissionens eneste intervention i at vurdere, om aftalen er i overens stemmelse med traktaten.
But in addition we need political decisions.
Intet andet.
What does the Commission think?
Hvad støtteniveauet angår, er Kommissionen enig i, at det er vigtigt at sikre forholdsmæssigt lige mange midler til at fremme de vedvarende energikilder. Programmet Altener har netop til formål at styrke anvendelsen af vedvarende energikilder i Fællesskabet og indgår i Kommissionens forslag til rammeprogram for energi, som Parlamentets plenarforsamling skal behandle på torsdag.
Could electricity produced from renewable energy sources be introduced into the grid at a price that is different from electricity that has been produced by traditional means, so that electricity generated from renewable sources could be subsidised by means of authorised price fixing?
Det er EU's målsætning at fordoble anvendelsen af vedvarende energikilder frem til år 2010.
Papoutsis. - (EL) Mr President, thè Commission has done everything possible to present all the proposals that could be put forward in the context of agreements within the Commission and in the Member States, to give a powerful impetus to the use of renewable energy sources.
Vandkraft udgør en stor del af den nuværende vedva rende energi. Det er i praksis vanskeligt at udvide dens anvendelse.
I would remind you that in the plan of action we chose four specific initiatives: firstly, a million photovoltaic in stallations, about a million roofs; large wind farms generating 10 000 MW; biomass installations generating 10 000 MW; and the introduction of renewable energy sources in 100 local communities.
Det vil sige, at målet med en forhøjelse på 6 % faktisk er ambitiøst og klart umuligt at nå med de nuværende ressourcer.
This is the action programme in which we have invited industry, the Member States and all the other relevant agencies to take initiative's with a view to collaborating in the promotion of re newable sources.
Agter EU at udvide midlerne til de programmer, som kan være med til at fremme opfyldelse af målsætningerne? gerne?
In addition, however, I would remind you that in the directive on the internal electricity market, the Commission proposed that there should be privileged access for renewable sources to the network.
Hr. Papoutsis, jeg beder Dem besvare hr. Seppänens spørgsmål.
That is something we hope all the Member States will follow up and make use of.
Papoutsis, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EL) Hr. for mand, mine damer og herrer, Kommissionen er enig i, at
As far as we are concerned, combating that phenomenon is a matter to which we attach particular priority.
Seppänen (GUE/NGL). - (FI) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, de tekniske muligheder for vedvarende energi er en deløse, og de er analyseret i hvidbogen.
I there fore agree with the finding of the survey that intervention by the European Union is now seen not just as desirable but indeed as essential by a vast majority of Europe's citizens.
Men derudover er der brug for politiske beslutninger.
All the activities envisaged in the Commission's statement of November 1996 have been implemented as a matter of urgency.
Der er endnu ikke i Den Europæiske Union taget sådanne politiske beslutninger, som støtter anvendelsen af vedvarende energikilder.
However, the fact that Europe's citizens already recognise that the Commission is active in this area provides real encouragement for us to continue our efforts.
Hvad mener Kommissionen?
Beyond that, though, the Commission has no powers as such to do anything else.
Kan elektricitet, produceret med vedvarende energikilder sendes ud i nettet til priser, som afviger fra priser for elektricitet produceret med traditionelle metoder, altså således at elektricitet af vedva rende energikilder subventioneres gennem en godkendt prisfastsættelse?
So it is up to the Member States to make the most of all these possibilities provided by the European Union's legal framework and, at the same time, to utilise the Community finance available from various

Papoutsis tion and awareness campaigns against sex tourism which victimises children.
Hr. Papoutsis, jeg beder Dem besvare spørgsmål nr. 44 af hr. Papayannakis, som for øjeblikket er overtaget af hr. Alavanos.
The information activities currently being carried out, which are supported by the Commission, are based on the development in various Member States of two complementary programmes.
Derfor fremlagde vi først grønbogen om vedvarende energikilder og derefter hvidbogen med et konkret handlingsprogram, som jeg tror kan bruges til at fremme disse energikilder.
Here, in some cases, changes in the laws in some Member States are needed.
Papoutsis, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EL) Hr. for mand, resultaterne af en undersøgelse bestilt af Europa-Kommissionen hos Eurobarometer indeholder mange nyttige oplysninger til alle, der beskæftiger sig med bekæmpelse af sexturisme, hvor børn er involveret.
This has already started to happen, slowly but surely, because the governments are increasing their com mitment all the time, and at the same time the swell of public opinion in many EU Member States is accelerating and will, I hope, soon spread to all of them.
Der er tale om et handlingsprogram, hvor vi har opfordret industrien, med lemsstaterne og alle organisationer til at tage initiativer til i fællesskab at fremme de vedvarende energikilder.
The first aims to design, produce and distribute a video on flights to destinations noted for the phenomenon, and to inform and raise the awareness of the staff of various air lines.
