Det er enhver stats suveræne ret at træffe afgørelse om udstedelse af visa. undtagen i de tilfælde, hvor den er bundet af en international forpligtelse.
It is the sovereign right of each country to decide upon the granting of visas except when international commitments oblige it.
Rådet har ikke kendskab til eksistensen af en sådan specifik international forpligtelse i det tilfælde, som det ærede medlem henviser til i sil spørgsmål.
The Council is not aware of the existence of any specific international commitment in the case the honourable Member is referring to in his question.
Associeringsrådet EF-Tyrkiet vedtog den 30. oktober 1995 en resolution vedrørende den politiske dialog og det institutionellt samarbejde, som bl.a. gør det muligt at afholde regelmæssige møder på ministerplan vedrørende retlige og indre anliggender, når toldunionen træder i kraft.
On 30 October of this year the EC-Turkey Association Council adopted a resolution covering political dialogue and institutional cooperation which among other things will permit regular meetings of justice and home affairs ministers to be held following the entry into force of the customs union.
Begge parter vil inden for disse rammer kunne rejse spørgsmål af interesse for dem.
Within this framework both parties will be able to raise questions of interest to them.

Question No 21 by Alexandres Alavanos (H-0724/95)
Om: Frigivelse af den albanske oppositionsleder Fatos Nano
Subject: Release of Fatos Nano, the Albanian opposition leader
Oppositionen anfører, at Zef Brozis afskedigelse skete kort før højesteret — som forventet — skulle udtale sig om frigivelsen af den tidligere statsminister og leder al" oppositionen. Fatos Nano.
The opposition claims that the Government is seeking the dismissal of Zef Brozi just in time to prevent him ruling in favour — such a mling is taken for granted — of the release of the former Prime Minister and leader of the Official Opposition, Mr Fatos Nano.
Hvilke foranstaltninger vil Rådet træffe med henblik på at sikre domstolenes uafhængighed, så at de kan træffe afgørelse om den albanske oppositionsleders fremtid uden at være afhængig af landets regering — som søger at hindre at Fatos Nano bliver frigivet, for at han kan blive udelukket fra at deltage i det kommende valg?
What measures does the Council intend to take to safeguard the independence of the judiciary to enable it to decide on the future of the Albanian opposition leader without interference by the Albanian Government, which is seeking to prevent his release so as to hinder his participation in the forthcoming elections?
Rådet er helt klar over. at Albaniens parlament har vedtaget en lov, der udelukker personer, der sad ved magten i den tidligere kommunistiske regering indtil marts 1991, fra regering, parlament, domstole og medier indtil udgangen af 2002.
The Council is fully aware that the Albanian parliament has enacted a law barring persons who held power until March 1991 in the former communist government from government, parliament, the judiciary and the media until the end of 2002.
Rådet følger fortsat situationen i Albanien på nært hold og tøver ikke med at tilskynde den albanske regering til at gøre en indsats i retning af demokratisering og fuld overholdelse af menneskerettighederne.
The Council continues to monitor closely the situation in Albania and does not hesitate in its contacts to urge the Albanian Government to make efforts towards democratization and full respect of human rights.
Rådet er fortsat rede til at hjælpe Albanien i den proces, samtidig med at det lægger vægt på. at Albanien overholder de europæiske standarder.
The Council continues to be ready to help Albania in that process while attaching importance to a full adherence to the European standards.

Question No 22 by Isidoro Sanchez. Garcia (H-0737/95)
Om: Regeringskonferencen i 1996: permanent statut for De Kanariske Øer i Den Europæiske Union
Subject: 1996 Intergovernmental Conference: permanent statute for the Canary Islands within the Union
Med henblik på den kommende reform af traktaten om Den Europæiske Union har De Kanariske Øcr udvist interesse for i denne at få indføjet en permanent statut, ifølge hvilken regionen skal være underlagt en særlig ordning afpasset efter de særlige betingelser, som den på grund af sin afsides beliggenhed og økarakter er underlagt.
In the context of the forthcoming revision of the Treaty on European Union, interest has been expressed by the Canary Islands in the inclusion in the Treaty of a 'permanent statute' for the region, under which it would be covered by a specific regime suited to the particular conditions arising from its remote and island nature.
Indførelse af en sådan permanent statut i traktaten kunne danne grundlag for en fleksibel men præcis gennemførelse af de forskellige fællesskabspolitikker.
Inclusion of such a permanent statute in the Treaty would serve as the basis for a flexible and specific application of the various Community policies.
Rådet anmodes om at oplyse, om man under det spanske formandskab og inden for rammerne af forberedelserne til regeringskonferencen i 1996 har drøftet udarbejdelsen af denne statut samt dens indførelse i traktaten.
Can the Council state whether, in the context of the Spanish presidency and the preparations for the 1996 IGC. the discussions have included the drawing up of such a statute and its inclusion in the Treaty?
I bekræftende fald bedes Rådet oplyse, hvor langt det er med dette spørgsmål samt hvilke indtryk og forventninger, det har.
If so, can the Council specify what progress has been made on the matter and what its impressions and expectations are?
Hr. Sánchez Garcías spørgsmål angår tildelingen af en fast status til De Kanariske Øer i den reviderede traktat, der skal blive resultatet af regeringskonferencen i 1996.
Mr Sanchez Garcia's question concerns the granting of a permanent statute to the Canary Islands in the revised Treaty which will emerge from the 1996 Intergovernmental Conference.
Det spørgsmål, De stiller er ikke uden interesse.
The question raised by the honourable Member is certainly not lacking in interest.
Men som formand for Rådet er del min pligt at meddele Dem, at Rådet ikke deltager som institution i regeringskonferencen i 1996 om revision af den gældende traktat.
However, as President-in-Office of the Council, it is my duty to point out to the honourable Member that the Council as an institution is not a party to the 1996 Intergovernmental Conference to review the Treaty currently in force.
I medfør af traktatens artikel N kan enhver medlemsstats regering eller Kommissionen forelægge Rådet forslag til revision af de traktater, på hvilke Unionen bygger.
Indeed, under Article N of the Treaty, the government of any Member State, or the Commission, may submit to the Council proposals for the amendment of the Treaties on which the Union is founded.
Under disse omstændigheder vil De forstå, at det ikke er muligt for mig på Rådets vegne at tage stilling til de forslag, der er indeholdt i Deres spørgsmål.
The honourable Member will therefore understand that I cannot adopt a position on behalf of the Council on the suggestions contained in his question.
Spørgsmål nr. 23 af Mark Watts (H-0753/95)
Question No 23 by Mark Watts (H-0753/95)
Om: Færgesikkerhed
Subject: Ferry safety
Er Rådets afvisning af Parlamentets beslutning (som vedtoges på grundlag af min betænkning om færgesikkerhed i juni 1995). hvori det hedder, at sikkerhedsledelsescertifikatet skal kontrolleres hvert år på alle roll-on-roll-off-passagerfærger. som besejler EU-havne. ikke et klart bevis på. at l'ærgesikkerheden her et år efter Estonia-færgens forlis stadig skubbes til side al" kommercielle hensyn'?
Is the rejection by the Council of Ministers of the decision by this Parliament (which adopted my report on ferry safety in June this year) that the Safety Management Certificates of all ro-ro passenger ferries visiting EU ports must be checked every year, not clear evidence that a year after the sinking of the Estonia with the loss of over 900 lives ferry safety is being compromised in favour of commercial considerations?
Rådet må på det kraftigste afvise påstanden om. at det tilsidesætter sikkerheden om bord på ro-ro-passagerfærger af kommercielle hensyn.
The Council categorically denies the allegation that the safety of ro-ro passenger ferries is being compromised in favour of commercial considerations.
Hvad angår den særlige bestemmelse, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem henviser til. minder Rådet om. at Europa-Parlamentet havde foreslået, at gyldigheden af det certifikat for sikker skibsdrift, der udstedes til ro-ro-færger kontrolleres hver 12. måned, mens Rådet i artikel 5. stk. 4. i sin fælles holdning vedrørende forslaget til forordning om sikkerhedsledelse af ro-ro-passagerfærger, har fastsat, at denne kontrol finder sted mindst hver 30. måned.
As regards the specific provision to which the honourable Member refers, the Council would point out that the European Parliament proposed that the validity of the safety management certificate issued to ro-ro ferry operators be verified every twelve months, whereas in Article 5(4) of its common position on the proposal for a regulation on the safety management of ro-ro passenger ferries the Council provided for verification to take place at least every 30 months or more frequently.
— at Rådets tekst svarer til Den Internationale Søfartsorganisation. IMO's standarder, som i henhold til Kommissionens forslag skulle optages i EF's retsorden.
— The Council text was in line with the standards of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which the Commission proposal was aimed at incorporating into the Community legal system; .
— at en årlig kontrol af alle skibe, der er omfattet af forordningen, ville bebyrde medlemsstaternes administratorer uforholdsmæssigt i betragtning af det store antal skibe, der skal kontrolleres.
— Annual inspection of all the vessels concerned by the regulation would impose an excessive burden on Member States' authorities, taking into account the large number of vessels involved;
— at der er fastsat en revisionsklausul for denne bestemmelse.
— It had incorporated a clause for the review of this provision.
Rådet vil gerne tilføje, at:
The Council would add that:
— den årlige kontrol af gyldigheden af søtransportselskabernes overensstemmelsesdokumenter i henhold til den fælles holdning også sætter medlemsstaterne i stand til at danne sig en mening om situationen om bord på skibe, der drives af disse selskaber.
— Annual verification of the validity of the certificates of compliance of shipping companies as provided for in the common position will also enable Member States to gain an idea of the situation on board the vessels operated by those companies;
— når der i den fælles holdning fastsættes kontrol af skibene hver 30. måned og en årlig kontrol al' selskaberne, er det. fordi denne årlige kontrol svarer til IMO's standarder, og fordi antallet af søtransportselskaber, der skal kontrolleres, i sagens natur er lavere end antallet af skibe.
— The common position provides for verification every 30 months for vessels and annual verification for companies because such verification corresponds to IMO standards and because the number of companies to be checked is by definition smaller than the number of vessels;
Spørgsmål nr. 24 af Robin Tererson (H-0754/95)
Question No 24 by Robin Teverson (H-0754/95)
Om: Europaskolerne
Subject: The European Schools
I 1991 blev Rådet gjort opmærksom på. at børn. der går på Europaskolen i Woluwe, er udsat for permanent risiko, fordi der ikke er truffet foranstaltninger til al forebygge brandfare.
The Council is well aware of the imminent dangers threatening the children at the European School in Woluwe because of the lack of fire prevention measures, a matter which was brought to its attention back in 1991.
For nylig arrangerede børnenes forældre en demonstration for at gøre opmærksom på dette problem, da Det Øverste Råd holdt møde i Bruxelles den 24. oktober.
In fact, the parents of these children recently staged a demonstration about these conditions during the Board of Governors' meeting in Brussels on 24 October.
Det Øverste Råd er imidlertid ude afstand til at tage stilling til dette spørgsmål og til den kroniske overbelægning på skolerne, hvilket direkte skyldes skolernes struktur.
However, the continuing inability of the Board of Governors to take a decision to solve not only this situation but also the chronic overcrowding in the school is a direct result of the way in which these schools were set up.
Hele beslutningsprocessen er alt for omstændelig og helt ude af trit med Europaskolernes egentlige behov.
The entire system has proved too cumbersome and completely out of touch with the actual needs of these schools.
Tiden er inde til at forenkle systemet og til — i samarbejde med de berørte parter — at indføre en ny ordning, som afspejler skolernes ændrede situation og behov.
The time has come to simplify this system and, together with the parties concerned, to set up a new system which reflects changing times and these schools' requirements.
Vil Rådet indrømme, at ledelsessystemet er mangelfuldt, og sammenkalde medlemsstaterne til en drøftelse af situationen, således at der i samarbejde med alle de berørte parter kan foretages en gennemgribende omstrukturering af Europaskolerne?
Is the Council willing to admit that there are flaws in this management system and to call the Member States together to assess the situation and discuss, as well as implement with all parties concerned, a fundamental reorganization of the European Schools?
Hr. Teversons spørgsmål drejer sig om Europaskolerne.
Mr Teverson asks about the European Schools.
Det ærede parlamentsmedlem må tro mig, når jeg siger, al spørgsmålet om børns sikkerhed ligger Rådet stærkt på sinde: det gælder alle de børn, der lever på Unionens territorium, og således også dem. der er elever på Europaskolerne i Bruxelles.
I can assure the honourable Member that the safety of children attending the European Schools in Brussels ranks high among the Council's concerns, as indeed does the safety of all children in the Union.
Når dette er sagt. vil jeg tillade mig at understrege over for det ærede parlamentsmedlem, at spørgsmål vedrørende Europaskolens bygninger i Woluwé og placeringen al" en ny skole henhører under en aftale mellem Det Øverste Råd for Europaskolerne og den belgiske regering i henhold til artikel 28 i vedtægten for Europaskolerne af' 1957.
Having said this, I must point out to the honourable Member that matters concerning the buildings of the European School in Woluwe and the siting of ihe new school are governed by an agreement between the Board of Governors of the European Schools and the Government of Belgium, in accordance with Article 28 of the 1957 Statute of the European Schools.
Det tilkommer således ikke Rådet at tage initiativer på området.
The Council has no remit to intervene in such matters.
For så vidt angår en forenkling af ordningen for Europaskolerne, skal jeg minde om, at der blev undertegnet en ny aftale om vedtægten for Europaskolerne den 17. juni 1994 i Luxembourg.
As regards simplifying the system of the European Schools, I would remind the honourable Member that a new convention defining the Statute of the European Schools was signed in Luxembourg on 17 June 1994.
Ralifikationsprocedurerne er langt fremme i signatarstaterne, og når vedtægten træder i kraft, vil der kunne iværksættes en lang række reformer af ordningen for Europaskolerne.
Ratification procedures are well advanced in the signatory states, and once the statute comes into force, it will be possible to carry out a number of reforms of the European Schools system.
Spørgsmål nr. 25 af Alfred Lomas (H-0755/95)
Question No 25 by Alfred Lomas (H-0755/95)
Om: Børnearbejde i Pakistan
Subject: Bonded children in Pakistan
I Pakistan findes der en organisation. The Bonded Labour Liberation Front of Pakistan (BLLF), som har til formål at bekæmpe tvangsarbejde: Iqbal Masih arbejdede for denne organisation, før han blev myrdet, og organisationen udsættes nu for forfølgelser, fordi den kræver en undersøgelse af mordet og arbejder for at befri børn fra tvangsarbejde i forbindelse med produktion af håndknyttede tæpper.
The Bonded Labour Liberation Front of Pakistan, with whom Iqbal Masih campaigned before he was murdered, is being persecuted because it is calling for an investigation into that killing and because of its work to free bonded children in the hand-made carpet industry.
Hvad agter Rådet at gøre for at presse den pakistanske regering til at frafalde anklagerne mod BLLF's formand, Ehsan Ullah Khan. og Zafaryab Ahmed, der begge risikerer dødsstraf, samt anklagerne mod tretten andre BLLF-medarbejdere og for at få regeringen til at tilbagelevere BLLF's beslaglagte midler, arkiver og udstyr, således at organisationen kan videreføre sit arbejde uden at blive chikaneret yderligere?
What steps will the Council take to press the Government of Pakistan to withdraw the capital charges levelled against the BLLF President, Ehsan Ullah Khan, and Zafaryab Ahmed, to drop charges against another 13 BLLF workers, and to restore the BLLF's funds, archives and equipment which have been seized, so that the organization can continue its work without harassment?
Den Europæiske Union følger nøje situationen med hensyn til menneskerettigheder i Pakistan og benytter enhver passende lejlighed til at rejse spørgsmålet over forde pakistanske myndigheder.
The European Union follows closely the human rights situation in Pakistan and avails itself of every appropriate occasion to raise the issue with the Pakistani authorities.
Unionen har ved forskellige lejligheder indtrængende opfordret Pakistan til at forbedre lovgivningsrammen for at sikre, at menneskerettighederne overholdes fuldt ud. navnlig hvad angår mindretal.
The Union has on a number of occasions actively encouraged Pakistan to improve the legislative and legal framework in order to ensure full respect for human rights, particularly in respect of minorities.
Det ærede medlem vil således være bekendt med. at Unionen har foretaget en række demarcher, såvel offentligt som på fortrolig basis, og har udsendt erklæringer om spørgsmålet.
In this regard, the honourable Member will be aware that the Union has made a number of demarches, both public and confidential, and declarations on the matter.
Unionen har for ganske nylig i forbindelse med trojkaens møde med Pakistan, som fandt sted på højt embedsmandsplan i Islamabad den 22. og 23. oktober 1995 inden for rammerne af den politiske dialog mellem EU og Pakistan, på ny givet udtryk for bekymring over børnearbejde i særdeleshed og tvangsarbejde i almindelighed og indtrængende opfordret den pakistanske regering til at træffe fyldestgørende foranstaltninger med henblik på at løse problemet.
The Union has very recently, on the occasion of the Troika meeting with Pakistan which took place at senior level in Islamabad on 22-23 October 1995 in the framework of the political dialogue EU-Pakistan, the Union reiterated its concerns about he situation of children who work in particular and bonded labour in general and insisted that firm action was needed to solve the problem.

Question No 26 by Georges Berthu (H-0759/95)
Om: Indførsel til Fællesskabet af skind fra dyr, der er fanget i rævesakse
Subject: Introduction into the Community of the pelts of animals caught by means of leghold traps
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Rådet at vedtage for at undgå, at artikel 3 i Rådets forordning nr. 3254/91 af 4. november 1991 (') — der forbyder indførsel til Fællesskabet af skind fra dyr. som er fanget i rævesakse — træder i kraft den 1. januar 1996, mens et af de vigtigste kriterier for retsaktens ikrafttræden, nemlig samtidig indførelse af nye internationale standarder for fældefangst, ikke er opfyldt'?
What measures does the Council intend adopting in order to prevent Article 3 of its Regulation No 3254/91 (') of 4 November 1991, prohibiting the introduction into the Community of pelts of animals caught by means of leghold traps, from entering into force on I January 1996, when one of the main conditions laid down in the text for its implementation — namely the introduction at the same time of new international trapping standards — will not be fulfilled?
Rådet er klar over, at anvendelsen af forordning 3254/91 om forbud mod indførsel til Fællesskabet af skind fra dyr, der er fanget i rævesakse, har en hel række følger, navnlig på internationalt plan.
The Council is aware of the multiple implications, especially at international level, of implementing Regulation No 3254/91 prohibiting the introduction into the Community of pelts of animals caught by means of leghold traps.
Det forekommer imidlertid hensigtsmæssigt i denne sammenhæng at henlede det ærede parlamentsmedlems opmærksomhed på, at det tilkommer Kommissionen at sørge for, at fællesskabslovgivningen bliver gennemført.
However, it is worth drawing the honourable Member's attention, in this connection, to the fact that it is for the Commission to ensure that Community legislation is implemented.
For så vidt angår betingelserne for gennemførligheden af artikel 3 i ovennævnte forordning, bistås Kommissionen af det udvalg, der er nedsat i henhold til artikel 19 i forordning (EØF) nr. 3626/82.
As regards the conditions for applying Article 3 of the regulation in question, the Commission is assisted by the committee set up under Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 3626/82.
Ifølge de oplysninger, som Rådet har til rådighed, vil Kommissionen snarest drøfte dette spørgsmål, idet den vil gennemgå de forskellige aspekter af spørgsmålet, inden den beslutter at gennemføre ovennævnte forordning.
According to the Council's information, the Commission is preparing to discuss this question in the very near future, examining the various aspects of the matter before deciding on implementation of the regulation.
Spørgsmål nr. 27 af Ludivina García Arias (H-0766/95)
Question No 27 by Ludivina Garcia Arias (H-0766/95)
Visse audiovisuelle kommunikationsmidler i Den Europæiske Union har for nyligt vist en hårrejsende dokumentarudsendelse om »børnehjem« i Republikken Kina. hvor man tilsyneladende afleverer små piger, som deres familierikke vil vide af pågrund af deres køn.
A chilling television documentary was recently broadcast in some EU Member States on Orphanages' in China which take in infant girls rejected by their families on account of being female.
Har Rådet fået denne dokumentarudsendelse bekræftet'?
Does the Council have corroboration of the allegations made in the documentary?
Mener Rådet i givet fald. at Den Europæiske Union kan undlade at reagere på dette ekstreme overgreb mod børns grundlæggende menneskerettigheder?
If so, does it believe that the European Union can keep silent in the face of such a major violation of the basic human rights of a human being and a child?
Påtænker Rådet at træffe nogen foranstaltninger med hensyn til forbindelserne med Republikken Kina?
Does it intend to take any steps in respect of its relations with the People's Republic of China?
Rådet er ikke i besiddelse af oplysninger om forældreløse børns situation i Kina og har aldrig stillet dette spørgsmål.
The Council has no information on the situation regarding orphanages in the People's Republic of China, a matter which has never been raised within the Council.
Rådet har aldrig glemt den betydning, som det tillægger spørgsmål vedrørende menneskerettighederne i Kina.
The Council has never concealed the importance it attributes to human rights issues in China.
Den politiske dialog mellem EU og Kina vedrørende menneskerettighederne, som indledtes i januar her i år gør det muligt for Den Europæiske Union at henvende sig direkte til de kinesiske myndigheder vedrørende menneskerettighedssituationen.
The framework of the EU-China political dialogue on human rights, in which the first meeting was held in January this year, provides the European Union with the opportunity to raise the issue of the human rights situation directly with the Chinese authorities.
