Det danske Indenrigsministerium har i et svar til mig i det danske Folketing oplyst, at bosniere og kroater står i kø for at vende hjem, og at de sinkes af blandt andet manglende trafikale forbindelser.
Titley (PSE). - Could Commissioner van den Broek confirm that in effect what he is saying is that we are still in a position whereby within Bosnia there is actually no real freedom of movement, i.e., we have still got defacto ethnic cleansing?
Det er utilfredsstillende, at visse lande tvangshjemsender flygtninge til det tidligere Jugoslavien, mens andre lande ikke kan eller vil sætte fart i tilbagesendelsen af dem, der geme vil.
However, I should like to make it clear to Mr Haarder that we are in contact with the Member States, with the EU's High Representative Carl Bildt, and in particular the High Commissioner for Refugees, Mrs Ogata, who visited Brussels a few days ago, and we are examining very carefully how we can help to make things easier for the return of' refugees.
Særligt ejendommeligt er det, at Østrig tilsyneladende hindrer busser i at komme frem.
To what extent is the Commission evaluating the success of the aid it has given to returnee refugees and how does it intend developing those programmes in future?
Anden bemærkning er - jeg ved ikke, om jeg er fuldstændig og akkurat nok i min redegørelse - at når jeg tænker over det mandat, vi har fået med hensyn til de seks sektoraftaler, som vi i øjeblikket forhandler med Schweiz om, kan jeg ikke umiddelbart se, hvordan det ville kunne inddrages.
The Commission has been working on this for some time through its rehabilitation and construction programmes, where the emphasis is placed on projects suggested to us by the High Commission for Refugees which are designed to make it easier for refugees to return home.
Jeg vil i hvert fald pour acquit de conscience undersøge, om der i nuværende sag er hjemmel til drøftelser herom, men jeg vil ikke vække falske forventninger hos hr. Wijsenbeek.
We have also been in regular contact with the German authorities, since we know that of all the Member States, Germany has faced the most severe problem of refugees from former Yugoslavia. via.
Jeg ved, at der i øjeblik ket i vid udstrækning er enighed, men at der navnlig i transportsektoren og i sektoren fri bevægelighed for personer er en del meget delikate problemer at løse.
van den Broek. - (NL) I think I can say that there is genuine freedom of movement throughout most of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and I know that where it is in any way restricted, Ifor has instructions to approach the authorities about it and to establish a free passage by force, if necessary.
Men jeg takker i hvert fald hr. Wijsenbeek for at have gjort os opmærksom på dette forhold.
As far as I am aware, they have not been required to do so recently, and this is something that has only ever happened occasionally.
Vil Kommissionen presse på for - om nødvendigt at gøre EU-støtte betinget af - at flygtninge fra Bosnien og Kroatien ikke sinkes, når de ønsker at vende tilbage og deltage i genopbygningen af deres land og hjem?
I would repeat that when freedom of movement or freedom of transit are under threat - and there have been no serious reports of this recently - then an appeal must be made to the country concerned, whether it be Bosnia, Croatia or even Serbia, and then to Ifor, which is responsible for ensuring that freedom of movement is restricted as little as possible.
Van den Broek, medlem af Kommissionen. - (NL) Jeg må ærligt sige, at det er min fornemmelse, at der i øjeblikket i hvert fald ikke i større målestok er tale om de dystre beretninger, heriblandt problemer med transit af hjemvendende bosniske og kroatiske flygtninge, der skinner igen nem hr. Haarders spørgsmål.
I would also certainly not blame restrictions on freedom of movement as the main reason why so few refugees have returned home hitherto.
Som De kan mærke, udtryk ker jeg mig forsigtigt, idet det er svært at følge med i situationen fra dag til dag.
We have had extensive talks with Mrs Ogata, the High Commissioner, on this subject.
Van den Broek. - (NL) Jeg beklager, men jeg må desværre replicere benægtende, idet jeg ikke bare på stående fod har et svar parat.
The main problem is that many refugees do not want to return to their homes if a different ethnic group is now in power.
Den generelle bemærkning er naturligvis korrekt, at man i særdeleshed i tilfældet telekommunikation har at gøre med en økonomisk sektor, der faktisk i høj grad er underlagt globaliseringstendenser.
This is the case with many of the Bosnian refugees now living in Germany, who originally came from what is now the Republica Srpska and do not wish to go back there.
Det er den eneste faktor, der forsøger at holde Daytonfredsprocessen på skinnerne.
I therefore agree with Mr' von Habsburg that the very complexity of the situation tends to complicate the bureaucracy, rather than making it easier.
I hvilket omfang vurderer Kommissionen, om den hjælp, den har ydet til de tilbagevendende flygtninge, har været en succes, og hvordan påtænker den at udvikle disse program mer fremover?
And this is true not only for the countries to which the refugees are to return, but also for the countries currently sheltering large numbers of them.
Europa-Kommissionen har igennem længere tid beskæftiget sig aktivt med dette anliggende via dens genoprettelses- og genopbygningsprogrammer, hvorved der lægges særlig vægt på projekter, som også Flygtningehøjkommis^ sariatet overdrager til os, med hensyn til at_ lette denne tilbagevenden.
tremely short supply, and we must do all we can to ensure that priority is given to restoring and rebuUding ruined houses, so that refugees can move in. There is also the problem that the whole question of ownership is often extremely uriclear.
Vi har navnlig også jævnlig kontakt med Forbundsrepublikken, idet vi er klar over, at Forbundsrepublikken er den EU-medlemsstat, der bærer de tungeste byrder med hensyn til flygtninge fra det tidligere Jugoslavien. vien.
Everyone is Uving in someone else's house, and trying to sort things out could make the whole situation extremely difficult.
Så vidt jeg ved, er de i den senere tid ikke blevet tilkaldt i det øjemed, da disse tilfælde kun lejlighedsvis har fundet sted.
President - Question No 32 by Birgitta Ahlqvist (H-0860/96)
Jeg vil i hvert fald heller ikke pege på mangel på fri bevægelighed som hovedårsag til, at flygtningenes tilbage venden i øjeblikket kun er skredet yderst beskedent frem.
President Lukashenko of Belarus has sought to extend his constitutional powers, dissolve the present parliament and introduce authoritarian presidential rule.
Vi har udførligt drøftet spørgsmålet med højkommissæren, fru Ogata.
The Belarus parliament has responded by calUng a rival referendum on 24 October.
De vigtigste problemer er begrundet i, at en hel del flygtninge ikke ønsker at vende tilbage til deres bopæl, hvis magten på stedet i mellemtiden er gået over til et flertal af en anden etnisk sammensætning.
The President of Russia has put heavy pressure on President Lukashenko to seek a compromise with his parliament on the country's new constitution, but he has altered only one detail in his proposal.
Det er navnligt tilfældet for en hel del bosniske flygtninge, der opholder sig i Tyskland.
What this all means is that the High Commission for Refugees has by no means been able to persuade the numbers to return that were originally planned.
De stammer for det meste fra det, der nu er Republica Srpska, og de vil helst ikke vende tilbage dertil.
I think that since the Dayton agreement, 200 000 of the 800 000 originally intended have actually gone back, at an optimistic estimate.
En anden hurdle er den i øjeblikket stadig kritiske og begrænsede boligsituation, selvom vi gør alt, hvad der står i vores magt for at forsøge nogenlunde at prioritere reparation og genopbygning af ødelagte huse, således at flygtninge kan flytte ind.
We are dealing with an extremely complex problem. We are going to Paris on Thursday for further talks with Mrs Ogata, Carl BUdt and everyone else in volved on the implementation of the Dayton agreement and the problem of the returning refugees, and we shall be looking at the issue again at a conference on Yugoslavia in London in December.
Her spiller derudover ofte også problemer med ejerforholdene ind, som naturligvis er overordentlig indviklede.
I go to quite a few places in Austria, and I am extremely surprised by the suggestion that the Austrian authorities have somehow been obstructing the return of the refugees.
Folk er flyttet ind i hinandens huse, og når de begynder at foreholde hinanden det, bliver det en meget kompleks situation.
At least, I have never heard anything about that in Austria itself.
Haarder (ELDR). - Jeg vil geme takke kommissæren for det meget imødekommende svar, han har givet.
Has the Commission made any representations against this attempt by the President of Belarus to shut out his country's democratically elected parliament and set up authoritarian presidential rule?
Ή1 supple­ring vil jeg geme spørge ham, om han er enig med mig i, at det er helt uantageligt, at lande, der modtager enorm støtte fra Den Europæiske Union, ikke vil tage deres egne borgere tilbage hurtigt og effektivt, når disse borgere ønsker at vende tilbage.
WUl cooperation under the TACIS programme continue as if nothing has happened if President Lukashenko claims that the November referendum has given him a mandate to carry out his changes to the constitution?
Jeg vil spørge, om De ikke også er enig med mig i, at det om muligt er endnu mere uantageligt, at ikke blot Bosnien og Kroatien, men også et medlemsland, Østrig, lægger hindringer i vejen for bustransporter af flygtninge tilbage til deres gamle land?
My question to you, Commissioner, is this: do you not have the impression that, in the whole treatment of the refugee question, an unduly bureaucratic approach is hindering matters?
Er De enig med mig i, at dette er helt urimeligt, og at Den Europæiske Union om nødvendigt må øve pression, også økonomisk pression, for at ændre denne tilstand?
There are large parts of Bosnia to which no one can be expected to return if they have no house there, because it is extremely cold.
Vi ved jo, at visse lande tvangsmæssigt sender flygtninge tilbage. Det er ikke det, jeg taler om.
There are other areas to which the refugees can happily go back, because it is warm.
Jeg taler om borgere, der frivilligt ønsker at rejse tilbage, men som hindres af bureaukrati og vrangvillighed i Bosnien og Kroatien og minsandten også i Østrig.
Are you not of the opinion that the authorities are regrettably adopting an unduly bureaucratic approach in this respect, which is hampering the whole operation?
Van den Broek. - (NL) Jeg er fuldstændig enig med hr. Haarder i, at det er helt uantageligt, hvis disse lande ikke vil tage deres egne borgere tilbage, når disse ønsker at vende tilbage.
van den Broek. - (NL) Mr von Habsburg will have reaUzed that I entirely agree with him, but I have no information or evidence to suggest that Austria is not cooperating in helping refugees to return home.
Det ene med det andet, alle disse faktorer har bidraget til, at Flygtningehøjkommissariatet ikke har kunnet lade nær så mange flygtninge vende tilbage som oprindelig planlagt.
van den Broek, Member of the Commission. - (NL) The Commission entirely agrees with the assessment of the situation in Belarus given by Mrs Ahlqvist in her question.
Jeg vil mene, optimistisk skønnet, at måske 200.000 ud af de 800.000, der kom i betragtning, faktisk er vendt tilbage. Vi har her at gøre med en særdeles kompleks problemstilling.
This is an issue which we have discussed on a number of occasions with the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defence Policy and with the group of MEPs who are monitoring the situation in Belarus.
Førstkommende torsdag tager vi til Paris til en fornyet drøftelse af gennemførelsen af Dayton-aftalerne, herunder flygtningenes tilbagevenden, med deltagelse af fra Ogata, Carl Bildt og alle involverede.
Mrs Ahlqvist knows that every time we have contact with Belarus, we take the opportunity to stress how much relations between the European Union and Belarus depend on its authorities showing respect for human rights, the principles of democracy and so on.
Det viser jo, at emnet får vor udelte opmærksomhed, men at vi har at gøre med en meget kompliceret situation.
As you know, the opposition parties in the Belarus parliament have joined forces and told the President that they feel that the questions put forward have nothing to do with attempts to establish greater democracy in Belarus.
von Habsburg (PPE). - (DE) Hr. kommissær, først lige en bemærkning: Jeg kommer temmelig vidt omkring i Østrig, og jeg er meget forbavset over det spørgsmål, om østrigerne på en eller anden måde skulle lægge hindringer i vejen for flygtninges hjemrejse.
The President has replied that he wishes to reach a compromise with the parliament about what kind of changes to the constitution should be proposed in the referendum.
I det mindste jeg har på stedet aldrig hørt noget derom.
We cannot tell how things will go from here.
Jeg læste det for første gang i hr. Haarders spørgsmål.
Take Bosnia, for example, where the new organs of state are stiU being set up.
Ej heller findes der inden for Unionen som sådan nogen form for divergens med hensyn til, at der skal træffes alle nødvendige foranstaltninger for at lette processen.
So the people we are talking to now are the transitional government, but we do not know who will be in charge tomorrow. That is one point.
Titley (PSE). - (EN) Kunne kommissær van den Broek bekræfte, at det, han reelt siger, er, at vi stadig befinder os i en situation, hvor der rent faktisk ikke er nogen fri bevægelighed i Bosnien, altså at der stadig er tale om etniske udrensninger?
There are indeed a number of TACIS programmes in the pipeUne or already in progress which have ground to a halt because there is no longer a coordinator on the Belarus side.
Kan han også sige, hvordan han mener, at situationen vil udvikle sig, når IFOR afsluttes?
I think that the programmes which are running at the moment should be allowed to continue for the time being, but we shall reassess the situation once we see what happens with the referendum, when we shall know if Belarus has become a kind of dictatorship in disguise, in constitutional terms, or if there are still some traces of genuine democracy to be found.
Mit spørgsmål til Dem, hr. kommissær, lyder: Er det ikke Deres indtryk, at i hele behandlingen af flygtningespørgsmålet er det en alt for bureaukratisk fremgangsmåde, der lægger hindringer i vejen? Ser De, der er store dele af Bosnien, hvortil en hjemkomst i dag er noget, man ikke kan byde nogen, medmindre han har et hus, for dér er det meget koldt.
Secondly, if we look at Germany again, which has shown an extremely humanitarian attitude in accepting some 450 000 refugees, we need to ask the various regional governments exactly how many refugees are Uving there, where they come from, whether they are prepared to return and, if so, where to.
Der er andre områder, hvortil flygtningene roligt kan vende tilbage, for dér er det mildt. Man bør således her bedømme situationen differentieret fra område til område,
This information must then be linked up with operations in Bosnia to receive these people and to ensure that they have somewhere to live, not to mention jobs and so on.
Van den Broek. - (NL) Hr. von Habsburg har sikkert lagt , mærke til, at jeg fuldt ud deler hans mening, at jeg hverken har informationer om eller indicier for, at Østrig ikke skulle medvirke til flygtningenes tilbagevenden.
Ahlqvist (PSE). - (SV) Thank you for the answer, Com missioner. I have put this question before and today I have received more or less the same answer.
Og desuden er det jo sådan, jeg gentager, at alle medlemsstater jo, mener jeg, er meget ivrige efter hurtigst muligt at få skabt mulighederne for en tilbagevenden. Det er vi altså enige i.
We have fought on behalf of the EU by pointing out the circumstances to the President of Belarus, but the President goes on as before, just the same.
Tag nu for eksempel Bosnien, hvor sammensætningen af de nye statsorganer faktisk stadig er i gang. Efter valget blev der etableret et kollektivt præsidentskab.
I wonder, Commissioner, if the way forward would be to halt the TACIS programme, and in that way get the President to listen to the democratically elected parliament.
Der eksisterer endnu ikke en regering som sådan. Altså har vi overgangsregeringen som samtalepartner.
Or are there any other ways?
gange haft lejlighed til at drøfte situationen i Udvalget om Udenrigs-, Sikkerheds- og Forsvarsanliggender og med den gruppe af parlamentsmedlemmer, der har specialiseret sig i forbindelserne med Belarus.
Policy and Parliament's members of the EU-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee yesterday evening, mainly about the human rights situation there, which was discussed in detail in the report on the customs union which the Commission presented to Parliament in October.
De ved, at oppositionen i det belarussiske parlament har allieret sig og altså har sagt til præsidenten: Vi synes i hvert fald, at de spørgsmål, der forelægges her, intet har at gøre - jeg siger det med mine egne ord - med et forsøg på at skabe en mere demokratisk situation i Belarus.
I explained why I thought this and put forward further arguments in favour, but I also said that the Commission has taken due account of the resolution adopted by Parliament in September on the human rights situation in Turkey, and of the recommendations which have been made concerning how money should be allocated from the MEDA fund.
Præsidenten havde sagt, at han ville indgå et kompromis med parlamentet om præcis hvilke spørgsmål, der skulle rejses ved denne folkeafstemning med hensyn til gennemførelse af konstitutionelle ændrin ger.
As I said yesterday evening, Parliament's ideas on this may not be exactly the same as those of the Commission, but I would be happy to examine with the President of the House how the Commission can best consult Parliament about this whole issue before we implement the 1997 MEDA programme.
Hvordan denne proces præcis vil forløbe, er i øjeblik ket ikke til at forudsige.
van den Broek. - (NL) As I said before, I quite agree with Mrs Ahlqvist's assessment of the situation.
Ja, der er en del TACIS-programmer, som er på trapperne eller ved at blive gennemført, og som i øvrigt har været standset, fordi koordinatoren på belarussisk side ikke længere var til stede.
We have once again reached a sort of crossroads: do we use the TACIS programme to bring pressure to bear, or do we try to use it to help bring about certain practical improvements?
Jeg synes dog, at de programmer, der i øjeblikket stadig kører, skal fortsætte indtil videre. Og i det øjeblik, det står klart, hvad der sker med denne folkeafstemning, foreligger der en ny situation, som vi kan tage stilling ud fra.
I think the thing to do now is to wait and see exactly what happens with the referendum and how we then view the political situation in Belarus, because this will very much determine whether we wish to have the kind of close cooperation that would result from an interim agreement, which is currently stUl pending.
På det tidspunkt ved vi også, om forfatningen faktisk har ændret Belarus til en slags forklædt diktatur, eller om der stadig er antydning af et ægte demokrati at spore.
As I said, Parliament has put off examining reports on the interim agreement two or three times now, for the same reasons why I am now suggesting that we should wait for the referendum, although we can at the same time, send out appropriate political signals, via other countries too.
Det er dog en sag, der ikke blot er vanskelig på modtagersiden, men også set fra de lande, der i øjeblikket giver husly til et stort antal flygtninge.
This is precisely what the presidency and the Commission are doing at the moment.
Formanden. - Spørgsmål nr. 32 af Birgitta Ahlqvist (H-0860/96):
President - Question No 33 by Maj Theorin (H-0861/96) Subject: Turkey
EU har forsøgt at foreholde Belarus' præsident situationen, men han fortsætter under alle omstændigheder som hidtil. Det sker med andre ord ikke særlig meget på dette område.
Parliament approved the agreement on customs union after being promised that the human rights situation would improve.
Kunne man ikke, hr. kommissær, indstille TACIS-samar-bejdet og på den måde få præsidenten til at lytte til det folkevalgte parlament? Eller er der andre metoder?
The murder of the two young Cypriots and the news that at least 11 people have died in Turkish prisons show that the EU reaUy must use aU available means to improve the situation.
Den belarussiske præsident Lukasjenko har forsøgt at udvide sin konstitutionelle magt i Belarus, opløse det nuværende parlament og indføre et autoritært præsidentstyre.
Parliament somewhat belatedly responded with its resolution of 19 September calUng on the Commission to discontinue all aid to Turkey under the MEDA programme, except, of course, for the portions thereof which promote democracy and human rights.
Han har udskrevet en folkeafstemning om sit forslag, som skal finde sted den 7. november.
Theorin (PSE). - (SV) Thank you for the answer.
Parlamentet har svaret med at udskrive en konkurrerende folkeafstemning til den 24. november.
It is encouraging to learn that we are now in agreement that human rights are not being respected in Turkey, and that we have woken up to the fact a little late in the day.
Ruslands præsident har lagt stærkt pres på den belarussiske præsident, for at få denne til at indgå kompromis med parlamentet om landets nye forfatning.
It is, of course, surprising - to say the least - that a real right-wing politician from Turkey has been able to mislead experienced politicians without bringing in any real changes or reliable guarantees on human rights, and that these experienced poUticians, without waiting for the Turkish elections, agreed to a customs union.
Har Kommissionen på nogen måde tilkendegivet, at den misbilliger den belarussiske præsidents forsøg på at sætte landets folkevalgte parlament ud af spil og skabe et autoritært præsidentstyre?
For the instruments we have, i.e. the poUtical, economic and legal instruments which the EU has at its disposal, should naturally be used to ensure that human rights are respected.
Vil arbejdet med TACIS-programmet blive fortsat, som om ingenting var hændt, hvis præsidenten ved folkeafstemningen i november mener at have fået mandat til at gennemføre sine konstitutionelle ændringer i landet?
Is it not now time to stop waiting for more encouraging noises from Turkey and demonstrate that the limit has been reached by revoking the customs union with this country? My second question is: Would we have been just as keen to enter into a customs union if the Commissioner had known then what we know today about human rights?
Van den Broek. - (NL) Jeg har, endnu engang, givet den samme vurdering af situationen i Belarus som fru Ahlqvist.
What will the Commission do within the framework of the MEDA programme to step up pressure on Turkey to fulfil its part of the agreement?
Vi befinder os her endnu engang ved en korsvej, skal vi anvende TACIS-programmet som pressionsmiddel eller ej, eller skal vi netop anvende TACIS-programmet med hen blik på at være med til konkret at ændre visse situationer.
There still has been no response to the declaration issued by the Council in June to the effect that Turkey must abide by certain principles.
Van den Broek, medlem af Kommissionen. - (NL) Kom missionen er helt enig i den vurdering, som fremgår af fru Ahlqvists spørgsmål om Belarus. Vi har også gentagne
van den Broek, Member of the Commission. - (NL) I am afraid that I can only tell Mrs Theorin what I told the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defence van den Broek. - (NL) I know that it is difficult to talk about human rights and the economy in the same breath, but this is what Mrs Theorin did when she mentioned the customs union and whether it should continue.
