Crowley (RDE). - (EN) Jeg vil gerne gentage de spørgsmål, som mine kolleger, hr. McMahon og hr. Martin har stillet.
van den Broek, Member of the Commission. - (NL) The European Social Fund provides co-funding for courses at Portuguese vocational training schools under two separate operational programmes: the Prodep programme for 1989-1993 and the programme for basic knowledge and innovation for 1994-1999.
Det Jeg gerne vil henlede opmærksomheden på, er følgende: Når vi ser, at der er forskellige juridiske systemer inden for Unionen, er der så ikke nu behov for, at Kommissionen stiller forslag om at harmonisere lov givningen med hensyn til ansøgninger om kaution, habeas corpus og retten til juridisk bistand i civile og kriminelle sager?
89% of the ECU 322 million allocated for the Prodep programme has already been paid, and the remaining 11% will be paid once the Member State in question submits its final payment application for 1993 and the application has been proper ly checked by the Commission department responsible.
Vi kan ikke påvirke lovgivningen i et medlemsland med hensyn til, på hvilke betingelser f.eks. fast ejendom overdrages eller ej.
Secondly, I hope they are going to push forward the qualified majority vote on the posting of workers.
I nogle medlemslande eksisterer der rent faktisk retsregler, der i højere grad end retsreglerne i andre medlemslande gør det muligt at foretage bedrageriske handlinger. Dette problem kan vi også godt se.
I travel back regularly from Frankfurt with British building workers who are being paid half the wage of German building workers with no protection for sick pay, no protection for holidays and agents who are ripping them off.
Men jeg kunne godt lide at vide, om den er opmærksom på, hvor alvorlig situationen er?
Hopefully a working document will soon follow.
Jeg vil ikke nævne dem, men jeg tror, at Kommissionen ved, hvem jeg mener.
Once this first phase is complete, we propose to consult the social partners on the question of the burden of proof, on which we also have to draw up a communication in 1995, as announced in the White Paper on European Social Policy.
Vi har ikke nogen forfatning, hvor det udtrykkeligt står, men denne erklæring er naturligvis bindende for Kommissionen.
To date the Portuguese authorities have not applied for the second instalment.
Til men neskerettighederne hører naturligvis også en anholdt borgers ret til inden for en rimelig frist på 24 eller 48 timer at få sagen behandlet ved en domstol og modtage advokatbistand.
The committee supervising the education programme met for the first and only time in June 1994, but no mention was made at that meeting of any problems to do with funding for courses at vocational training schools.
Hvis altså et medlemsland i praksis eller i sine retsregler ikke opfylder sådanne mindstekrav, har Fællesskabets institutioner bestemt et grundlag for at skride ind.
Thirdly, the Commission hopes to produce a working document on part-time work, which has been asked about, before the summer, and to have proposals ready on other new forms of work organization.
Kom missionen er som sagt parat til i sådanne tilfælde at virke for, at enhver borger i Unionen får denne minimale retsbeskyttelse.
We are to discuss this whole question with the social partners before the end of the year, and we may change our approach in the light of what they have to say.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 40 af De Clercq (H0701/94):
Spiers (PSE). - With great respect, I wonder whether the Commissioner could try to give a clearer answer to the questions raised by Mr Kerr, because it appears he was reading a prepared reply to a different question.
Om: Fælles informations- og pressecenter for EU-institutionerne
Lage (PSE). - (PT) Mr Commissioner, your reply was revealing.
Folk, der bliver arresteret i en anden medlemsstat, kom mer ofte i alvorlige vanskeligheder, fordi de ikke forstår det pågældende lands juridiske system og måske ikke taler dets sprog. Jeg føler virkelig, at Kommissionen bør gøre mere for at forsøge at hjælpe mennesker i denne situation.
I think I am right in deducing, without distorting what you said, that the situation of deadlock, protest and breakdown facing vocational schools in Portugal, which number 160 and qualify some 30,000 young people, is the exclusive responsibility of the Portuguese government.
Det er ikke nok at sige, at hvis folk er skyldige, skal de straffes. Ofte kan de pågældende ikke forsvare sig, eller de ved ikke noget om den juridiske situation, de befinder sig i, når de bliver arresteret i en anden med lemsstat.
This was very revealing since in Portugal there were suspicions, doubts and uncertainties as to the lack of funds, and its being a possible result of a delay in transfers and the execution of programmes funded by the European Community.
Jeg håber, at Kommissionen vil prøve at gøre mere for at hjælpe.
Thank you for your very clear reply.
I Bruxelles findes der ikke et internationalt presse center, og EU-institutionerne i Bruxelles råder ikke over et fælles center for besøgende og et offentligt informations- og udstillingscenter om Den Europæiske Union.
van den Broek. - (NL) All I can say is that Commissioner Flynn will have to hold further discussions, not least with the French presidency, on how to follow up the various points that were raised at the Council meeting.
Europa-Kommissionen har tilsyneladende fået forelagt et sammenhængende projekt herom.
It is rather difficult for me to anticipate the outcome at the moment.
Kan Europa-Kommissionen på denne baggrund bekræfte, at den har kendskab til et sådant projekt?
President. - Question No 46 has been withdrawn by its author.
Jeg må dog sige, at vores mulig heder for at gribe ind er begrænsede.
Subject: European Union funding for vocational schools in Portugal
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter den i benægtende fald at træffe for at afhjælpe de tre ovennævnte mangler?
60 vocational schools, financed by the European Social Fund, currently operate in Portugal.
Det medlemsland, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem kommer fra, lægger stor vægt på dette princip, i hvert fald den nuværende rege ring, som han muligvis ikke anser for at være god nok, men det er nu engang den regering, vi har at gøre med. Denne regering lægger stor vægt på subsidiaritet.
Further to my earlier answer, I would add that the Commission processes all applications for payment as quickly as possible, and that the Portuguese authorities told the committee supervising the Community support framework on 6 December this year that when they applied for funding for 1994, the schools had already received an advance payment of 20%, which means that at least some funding had been paid by the time the payment applications were processed.
Hvis altså f.eks. en britisk borger lider uret i et medlemsland, er jeg overbevist om, at den britiske ambassadør eller den britiske konsul er det første
For a number of months now, these schools have not received the funds due to them, teachers have not been paid and some establishments have been brought to a standstill.
Bangemann, medlem af Kommissionen. - (DE) Vi har, ligesom det ærede parlamentsmedlem, beklaget, at vi ikke har et rigtigt internationalt pressecenter, dvs. et interinstitutionelt europæisk center, som også kan tage sig af besøgende, og vi har i Kommissionen talt om en sammenhængende plan på dette område.
McMahon (PSE). - Could the Commissioner tell us how much of the ECU 737m underspent in Objective 1, which was reported to Parliament in October of this year and resulted in a transfer of appropriations agreed by the Committee on Budgets, relates to the schemes in Portugal? gal?
Kommissionen er som altid gået ind for et snævrere samarbejde mellem institutionerne og har optaget kontakter, og den vil ofre dette aspekt særlig opmærksomhed.
There is widespread confusion and uncertainty in Portugal as to the real causes of this situation and the general public is wondering whether the Government or the European Union is to blame.
Vi kan ikke bringe alle disse specialister hertil. Det er i praksis et arbejde, som alle Kommissionens tjenestegrene skal udføre.
12.94 van den Broek van den Broek. - (NL) I am not in a position to answer the question, but I should be pleased to provide a written reply.
Det betyder ikke, at et parlamentsmedlems besøgsgruppe ikke også kan stifte bekendtskab med Kommissionens arbejde generelt.
President. - Question No 48 by Marie-Paule Kestelijn-Sierens (H-0667/94) having to be interrupted unnecessarily because of changes in the legal framework.
Det er et sådant centers opgave, sådan som hr. Willy de Clercq forestiller sig det.
I know, Commissioner, that the problem is a complex one in Belgium.
Det kan godt lade sig gøre. Men kun med et kontor her i Strasbourg vil det ikke kunne fungere. Vi ville skulle bringe 50 eller 100 af vores eksperter her til Strasbourg, og det ville være en omkostning, man ikke kan forsvare.
But I would like to stress that the delay in the approval of the CSFs and the failure to make any transitional arrange ments caused enormous uncertainty for the ongoing training and employment projects.
Det er naturligvis også et spørgsmål om, hvordan administrations- og driftsomkostningerne for centret skal fordeles.
Subject: Delay in approval of Community support frameworks for training and employment projects subsidized by the ESF under Objective 3
Formanden. - Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 41.
Finally, I should like to point out that this uncertainty has undoubtedly had a very adverse effect on the way the projects have been run in recent months.
Jeg har blot et enkelt spørgsmål: Kunne han omtrentligt sige, hvornår de undersøgelser og planer, som stilles i udsigt, konkret kan realiseres?
I would like to add that the operational programmes for Objective 3 have now all been signed and the payments to the Belgian authorities are currently being processed.
Vil Kommissionen sikre, at der med energicharter traktaten tages hensyn til energiudstyrsleverandører i Den Europæiske Union, således at de på lige fod med nationale virksomheder kan konkurrere om leverancekontrakter inden for energiproduktion, energi distribution og energioverførsel i Rusland og andre SNG-republikker?
In addition, the authorities are being asked to organize meetings of the supervisory committees as quickly as possible, both for the Community support frameworks and the operational programmes, so that the selection criteria can be established, as I said before, and individual projects approved, since it is only at that stage that payments can be made to those eligible for funding.
Bangemann. - (DE) Ja, jeg er sikker på, at vi ikke når at fremlægge forslag inden årets udgang, men jeg går ud fra, at den nye Kommission vil engagere sig kraftigt i denne sag, og at det ærede parlamentsmedlem vil få et svar i løbet af de første måneder i det nye år.
President. - Question No 49 by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (H-0675/94)
Posselt (PPE). - (DE) Hr. kommissær, har De på et eller andet tidspunkt fået forelagt den idé, at der burde indrettes en interinstitutionel besøgstjeneste i Strasbourg - det behøver jo ikke altid være en fin og dyr bygning, som alligevel vil støde på kritik blandt borgerne - og er det ikke tænkeligt, at noget sådant kunne ske på Parlamentets hjemsted og ikke der, hvor Kommissionen har sit sæde?
Subject: Transparency and progress in the implementation of projects covered by the second Com munity Support Framework (CSF) in Greece van den Broek, Member of the Commission. - (NL) Most of the single programme documents and the Community support frameworks relating to Objective 3 were approved by the Commission in August.
Bangemann, medlem af Kommissionen. - (DE) I artikel 31 i aftalen om Det Europæiske Energicharter hedder det: Den foreløbige charterkonference vil på sit første møde begynde med at undersøge, hvorvidt energiteknisk udstyr skal medtages i denne aftales handelsbestemmelser.
The negotiations were difficult for all the Member States, and the Commission made every effort to ensure that the finance provided under the European Social Fund for the forthcoming period should be allocated as effectively as possible.
Den foreløbige konferences første plenarmøde vil finde sted om eftermiddagen den 17. december i år umiddelbart efter undertegnelsen af aftalen.
The fact that the CSF for Belgium for Objective 3 took longer to be approved had much to do with the complex situation there.
I den forbindelse er den klar over, at hovedvanskeligheden vil være at definere, hvad der skal forstås ved energiteknisk udstyr.
The strategies proposed by these various authorities had to be combined in accord ance with the requirements of the regulation to form a single CSF for Objective 3, covering the whole of Belgium.
Chichester (PPE). - (EN) Som nyt medlem føler jeg mig privilegeret ved at få mit spørgsmål besvaret af et så fremtrædende medlem af Kommissionen.
During the negotiations, the Commission put forward new priorities taking account both of the increased flexibility of the new regulation and of a number of recommendations from the White Paper on growth, competitiveness and employment, with which you are all familiar.
Bangemann. - (DE) Jeg har endnu ikke hørt tale om sådanne overvejelser, men jeg ville heller ikke anse det for formålstjenligt, hr. parlamentsmedlem, hvis De tillader mig dette åbenhjertige svar.
Over the last few months the Greek media have been reporting with increasing frequency on delays affect ing infrastructure projects funded under the second CSF.
Det er jo i grunden kun Kommissionen og Parlamentet, der i betydeligt omfang modtager besøgsgrupper, som ikke kommer af en eller anden særlig grund, altså besøgsgrupper, der består af en kreds af borgere eller kommer fra institutioner i med lemslandene, fra partier og lignende grupper.
Meanwhile the public debate on the need to make the system by which public services contracts are awarded and implemented more transparent has become increasingly animated and the Commission and the Greek Government have consulted each other repeatedly on this issue.
Rådet modtager, så vidt jeg ved, slet ikke sådanne besøgsgrupper, det modtager højst fra tid til anden officielle besøg. Det drejer sig altså om et problem for Parlamentet og Kommissionen.
In view of the degree of interest shown by the Greek public in this matter of great national importance, will the Commission say what problems have arisen concerning the transparency of the system for awarding and implement ing public service contracts in Greece?
Bangemann. - (EN) Jeg vil påpege, at der ikke er nogen medlemmer af Kommissionen, der er mere eller mindre fremtrædende.
van den Broek, Member of the Commission. - (NL) One of the problems with the procedures for awarding public services contracts in the case referred to by Mr Hatzidakis was the poor quality of many of the technical studies used by the authorities in question as the basis for awarding contracts.
Alle medlemmer af Kommissionen er fremtrædende !
This resulted in contractors over spending their budgets and falling behind in carrying out the work.
Som min kollega siger, gælder det samme naturligvis Parlamentet!
In many cases, contractors also submitted bids that were unrealistically low.
Så giver vi dem detaljerede relevante informationer, det vil sige, vi har behov for virkelige specialister fra Kommissionen.
I am pleased to hear that the Commission has now, albeit very belatedly, approved the Community support framework and the operational programmes for Belgium.
Det vil ikke kunne lade sig gøre med et kontor i Strasbourg.
I hope that in future it will do all it can to prevent projects funded by the ESF from
Som jeg sagde, har vi ikke nogen vanskeligheder med definitionen, og vi må naturligvis drøfte det med Rusland
In order to overcome these problems, the Greek authorities and the Commission agreed in the Community support framework for Greece for 19941999 that the procedures for preparing and awarding public services contracts would be radically overhauled.
Bangemann initiativer håber Kommissionen at tage for at fremskynde sagerne under det franske formandskab?
In addition, the Christophersen group has classified it as a priority project in the context of the White Paper on growth, competitiveness and employment.
og de andre stater, som energicharteret skal hjælpe i deres bestræbelser på at reorganisere deres energisituation, særlig når det gælder anlæg, der kan være farlige.
However, if the projects under the new system are to be placed on a sounder footing, the problems that were encountered in the past must not be allowed to happen again, and the authorities in question, as is only to be expected, will need to be given the chance to make up any delays previously incurred.
Van den Broek. - (NL) Jeg har ikke blot aflagt beretning om resultaterne af Rådet, hvilket det ærede medlem har anmodet om.
Anastassopoulos (PPE). - (EL) Does the Commissioner not think that the general and vague answer he gave to my question contains contradictory elements?
Vi beklager ligesom det ærede medlem, at der er gjort få fremskridt. Lad mig som en nærmere illustration nævne som eksempel, hvilke punkter der står i vejen for godkendelse af forslaget om midlertidig forflyttelse af arbejdstagere.
Could he clarify for us what are those certain matters still under discussion between the Greek authorities and the Com mission?
Det er også rigtigt, at den politiske situation i Rusland ikke hjælper os i vore bestræbelser, for der er forskellige personer involveret, forskellige opfattelser af, hvordan man skal eller ikke skal privatisere, så vi har en masse vanskeligheder.
Hatzidakis (PPE). - (EL) I thank the Commissioner for his answer, which, however, confirmed what I observed in my question, namely that there is a problem with the progress of public works in Greece and that there are delays affecting projects funded under the second Com munity Support Framework.
Men, som jeg har sagt, vi begynder konferencen den 17. december, og vi vil gøre vort yderste for at få den til at lykkes.
The Commission attaches particular importance to the new statutory framework that will have to be in place.
Formanden. - Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, bortfalder spørgsmål nr. 43 og 44.
This led to discussions with the Commission which are still continuing.
Spørgsmål nr. 45 af McMahon (H-0753/94):
President. - Question No 51 by Giorgos Dimitrakopoulos (H-0703/94)
Om: Resultaterne af Rådets (sociale anliggender) møde i december
Subject: Self-financing of Greek CSF projects
Kommissionen bedes orientere Parlamentet om resultaterne af Rådets (sociale anliggender) møde i december 1994 og om, hvorvidt det lykkedes at opnå fremskridt med hensyn til gennemførelsen af den sociale dimension af det indre marked?
Why are Community Support Framework projects not self-financing in Greece and how will the Com mission ensure that the necessary appropriations are earmarked for implementation of CSF projects?
Rådet har også godkendt beslutningsforslaget om frem tidsudsigterne for socialpolitikken på grundlag af proto kollen om socialpolitikken. Spørgsmålet er dog stillet os, om Kommissionen mener, at Rådet med rette har god kendt denne beslutning inden for rammerne af denne protokol.
Based on all that, I would like to ask the Commissioner: can the Commission guarantee the Greek people, who are understandably concerned about all the issues raised in my question, that there will be progress and above all transparency in the implementation of public works projects in Greece?
Van den Broek, medlem af Kommissionen. - (NL) Jeg ville gerne gøre det ærede medlem opmærksom på Rådets pressekommuniké om Rådets møde den 6. december, hvis resultater hr. McMahon har spurgt om.
van den Broek. - (NL) I can assure the honourable Member that both the Greek authorities and the Commission agree that the system as it stands needs changing and must be radically overhauled to ensure at the very least that contracts can be awarded on the basis of more reliable and firmly established specifications, and there is agreement between the Commission and the Greek Government on these procedures.
Rådet godkendte beslutningen om iværksættelse af Leonardo da Vinci-programmet ligesom fortsættelsen af Handynet-systemet, en beslutning om kvinder og beskæftigelse samt inden for rammerne af protokollen om socialpolitikken en beslutning om perspektiverne for Den Europæiske Unions socialpolitik.
I have every expectation that the situation will improve considerably and, as I said before, once the new procedure is in place, any delays incurred in the interim period will have to be made up.
Rådet drøftede samtidig forslaget om atypisk arbejde og forslaget om midlertidig forflyttelse af arbejdstagere. Ingen af disse to forslag kunne imidlertid godkendes.
The funding to be made available by the Community here is indicated in the CSF and the related operational programmes.
Med hensyn til forslaget om midlertidig forflyttelse af arbejdstagere har Rådets formandskab på grund af særlige indvendinger fra nogle delegationers side indkaldt til et specielt rådsmøde, som vil finde sted den 21. december i år.
The Commission would be happy to help the Greek authorities here if necessary, and it is working closely with them on the priority projects established by the European Council for the transEuropean network in Greece, to which I also referred in my reply to the previous question.
Kerr (PSE). - (EN) Det var en meget undskyldende udtalelse fra Kommissionen.
Subject: Delay in starting Greek CSF projects
Også hvidbogen om socialpolitikken og om det kommende verdenstopmøde om social udvikling, som vil blive afholdt næste forår i København, vil blive drøftet.
Why have the Commission and the Greek Govern ment still not reached agreement on how to fund and when to begin the construction of Spata international airport?
For det andet håber jeg, at de vil presse på med afstemningen med kvalificeret flertal om udstationering af arbejdstagere.
What progress has been made on this matter and when are the procedures due to be completed so that a start can be made on this important project?
Van den Broek. - (NL) Kommissionen vil endnu inden udgangen af dette år med arbejdsmarkedets parter drøfte, hvilken måde der er den bedste til i den kommende periode at gennemføre høringerne ifølge den sociale protokol. Kommissæren, hr. Flynn, har meddelt, at han
van den Broek, Member of the Commission. - (NL) It is up to the Greek authorities to decide how they wish to fund and carry out the project in question.
Forhåbentlig udarbejdes der derefter hurtigt et første arbejdsdokument.
12.94 van den Brock tive procedures in Greece.
For det tredje håber Kommissionen også inden somme ren at fremvise et arbejdsdokument om deltidsarbejde, som der er anmodet om, og ligeledes at have forslag om andre nye former for organisation af arbejdet klar.
But as I have already said, given the whole context in which these plans are being dealt with, and particularly the work of the Christophersen group, the speed with which priority projects have been selected and the support being given to their implementation, not least at the latest European Council meeting in Essen, honourable Members can be sure that these matters are being treated as a top priority.
Vi vil drøfte dette spørgsmål med arbejdsmarkedets parter end nu inden udgangen af dette år.
But as I said, the national authorities in Greece will also have to do what is necessary.
For det andet program er der for 1994 106 mio ECU til rådighed, et første forskud på 50%, dvs. 53 mio ECU, blev udbetalt den 29. marts; medlemsstaten kan så anmode om et andet forskud på 30%, så snart halvdelen af det første forskud også virkelig er anvendt. Indtil nu har de portugisiske myndigheder endnu ikke anmodet om et andet forskud.
van den Broek. - (NL) The Commission is quite happy to advise the Greek Government on this matter, but as I see it the final decision rests with the Greek authorities themselves.
