Da denne første fase har fået en meget positiv modtagelse, ønsker Kommissionen nu at fremme partnerskabet med medlemsstaterne gennem økonomiske trepartsaftaler (medlemsstat, Europa-Parlament, Kommission), der samfinansierer hver regerings aktion.
As this first phase has received a good response, the Commission now wishes to give priority to the partnership with the Member States by means of tripartite financial agreements (Member State, Eu ropean Parliament, and Commission) to cofinance the action of each government.
Forpligtelsen til at informere befolkningen påhviler hovedsagelig medlemsstaterne.
In fact, it is mainly the responsibility ofthe Member States to inform their populations.
Det er ikke de europæiske instansers opgave at overtage det nationale ansvar og de nationale kompetencer.
It is not the role of European institutions to take over national responsibilities and competence.
Den praktiske og konkrete oplysning om euroens indførelse kan kun udvikles på grundlag af de offentlige myndigheders overgangsplan i hver medlemsstat.
Practical and concrete information on the introduction of the euro can only be developed on the basis of the plan relating to the changeover ofthe civil services of each Member State.
Finland offentliggjorde sin plan i april 1997.
Finland made its plan public in April 1997.
Decentraliseringsprincippet er den bedste garanti for, at der tages højde for de særlige nationale og lokale karakteristika, der gør det muligt at give et svar, der er tilpasset den offentlige menings me get varierede bekymringer i hver medlemsstat.
The principle of decentralization is the best way of ensuring that national and local peculiarities are taken into consideration, by making it possible to provide a suitable answer to the very varied con cerns of public opinion in each Member State.
Kommissionen vil sørge for, at der er sammenhæng mellem alle disse forklarings- og oplysningskampagner, og dette i overensstemmelse med subsidiaritetsprincippet og princippet om pluralisme, idet målsætningen er at give mulighed for en blød overgang til euroen, efter at have fjernet de be kymringer og den angst, som visse befolkningsgrupper giver udtryk for.
The Commission will monitor the coherence of all the explanation and information campaigns, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, and with a constant regard for the respect of pluralism, the aim being to enable the changeover to the euro to take place smoothly, after having allayed all the fears and anxieties which may be expressed by certain categories ofthe population.
Spørgsmål nr. 54 af Robin Teverson (H-1007/97)
Question No 54 by Robin Teverson (H-1007/97)
Det er meget vigtigt, at alle EU-borgere forstår og accepterer ØMU.
The importance of the understanding and acceptance of the EMU by every EU citizen can hardly be understated.
Det er således af stor betydning, at Kommissionens informationskampagne ikke blot rettes mod alle sektorer, men også mod alle aldersgrupper.
It is thus of great importance that the Commission's information campaign be targeted towards not only every sector but every age group.
Især unge henvender sig til mig med spørgsmål om ØMU. Kan Kommissionen redegøre for, hvordan den orienterer de unge om ØMU, og om, hvordan ØMU vil påvirke deres liv?
Young people in particular are contacting me with questions on EMU and I therefore ask the Commissioner to explain how the Commission is informing young people about EMU and the implications it will have for their lives?
Kommissionen deler fuldt ud det ærede parlamentsmedlems bekymring med hensyn til en information om euroen, der er tilpasset befolkningens bekymringer, der kan variere afhængig af aldergruppen.
The Commission fully shares the Honourable Member's wish that information on the euro should be suited to the various concerns of the different age bands of the population.
I denne henseende udgør de unge en særlig kategori.
In that respect, young people constitute a separate category.
Kommissionen har således allerede iværksat en række aktioner.
The Commission has already undertaken several actions.
11997 blev omkring 15 projekter vedrørende oplysning af unge under uddannelse gennemført i flere medlemsstater.
In 1997, about fifteen projects relating to information for young people at school were carried out in several Member States.
Efter rundbordsforhandlingerne den 15. maj 1997 om de praktiske aspekter vedrørende euroens indførelse har Kommissionen nedsat en arbejdsgruppe, der skal undersøge uddannelsernes rolle, og hvis rap port snart vil blive offentliggjort.
Furthermore, after the round table on 15 May 1997 on practical aspects of the introduction of the euro, the Com mission set up a working group on the role of education and training, whose report will be pub lished shortly.
Kommissionen er dog af den opfattelse, at hovedansvaret for denne information påhviler medlems staterne.
The Commission considers however that the Member States are mainly responsible for this type of information.
Den har således foreslået det britiske formandskab at forberede en meddelelse om euroen og uddannelse.
It has also suggested to the British Presidency that a communication on the euro should be prepared.
Denne meddelelse vil blive forelagt Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet bestående af undervisningsministre for at tilskynde hver regering til inden for rammerne af sin uddannelsespolitik at udvikle en information, der er tilpasset de unge i hvert land.
The communication will be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council of Education Ministers, in order to encourage each government to develop suitable information for the young people in each country, within the framework of its education policy.
Det vil til dette formål være nødvendigt at informere underviserne om konsekvenserne af euroens indførelse, at uddanne dem og at ak tualisere undervisningsmaterialet.
For this purpose, it will be necessary to inform teachers of the consequences ofthe introduction ofthe euro, to train them and to revise textbooks and teaching materials.
Undervisningen om euroen i skolerne er en forpligtelse, som medlemsstaterne ikke kan unddrage sig.
Teaching about the euro in schools is a responsibility Member States cannot shirk.
Der findes naturligvis allerede skoler, hvor visse klasser beskæftiger sig med specifikke aspekter af Den Europæiske Union.
There are indeed some schools and courses, which already cover specific aspects ofthe European Union.
Ud over denne tekniske og monetære del vil der blive undervist om denne milepæl i den europæiske konstruktion for første gang i de fleste klasáer på alle europæiske skoler.
However, in addition to the technical and monetary aspects, this is a major event in the construction of Eu rope, which most classes in all European schools will be learning about for the first time.
Spørgsmål nr. 55 af Hans Lindqvist (H-1008/97)
Question No 55 by Hans Lindqvist (H-1008/97)
Om: Euroens troværdighed
Subject: The credibility of the euro
I gentagne opinionsundersøgelser bekræftes den meget negative indstilling til den påtænkte fælles valuta inden for EU, euroen.
Opinion polls have again and again confirmed strong opposition to the EU's planned common currency, the euro.
I Østrig, Tyskland, Finland, Det Forenede Kongerige, Danmark og Sverige er befolkningen i alt overvejende grad negativt eller meget negativt indstillet til planerne om en EU-valuta.
In Austria, Germany, Finland, the UK, Denmark and Sweden, the majority ofthe public is opposed or strongly opposed to plans for a common currency.
Årsagen til, at man på trods heraf fortsætter med at udvikle ØMU-projektet, er, at der allerede er satset så meget politisk prestige i projektet, at enhver form for eftertanke og objektivitet åbenbart fra Kommissionens side er forbudt.
The reason for pressing ahead with EMU de spite such opposition is that the Commission has clearly ruled out any reconsideration or objective appraisal of the project because so much political prestige has already been invested in it.
Hvordan tolker kommissæren den meget negative ØMU-opinion selv i mange lande, som efter det foreliggende vil komme til at indgå i den planlagte Økonomiske og Monetære Union?
How does the Commission interpret the very negative views on EMU inter alia in many countries which, it has been publicly stated, will participate in economic and monetary union?
Finder kom missæren det nødvendigt at igangsætte en supplerende »euro-kampagne« for at vejlede befolkningen i disse lande?
Does it con sider it necessary to launch another euro campaign in order to admonish the public in those Member States?
Tror kommissæren virkelig, at europrojektet har nogen fremtid, når alle planer må forsvares med kostbare »propagandakampagner«?
Does it really believe that the euro project can be successful if all the ideas it embodies need to be defended by running expensive propaganda campaigns?
Tonen i spørgsmålet fra det ærede parlamentsmedlem kommer en smule bag på Kommissionen.
The Commission is somewhat surprised at the tone ofthe Honourable Member's question.
60 % af europæerne går således ind for indførelsen af euroen (Kommissionens månedlige menings måling af november 1997). Denne andel var på 54 % for et år siden (samme kilde).
In fact, 60 % of Europeans are in favour of the introduction of the euro (Commission's monthly survey, November 1997).
Kommissionen, der er traktaternes vogter, skal gennemføre Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union, som på demokratisk vis er blevet ratificeret af samtlige medlemsstater.
As guardian ofthe Treaties, the Commission implements the Treaty on European Union, which has been democratically ratified by all the Member States.
De informationskampagner, der er blevet udviklet på Europa-Parlamentets initiativ, har intet at gøre med propagandakampagner. Tværtimod har de til formål at forklare de beslutninger, der er truffet af stats- og regeringscheferne med hensyn til euroens indførelse, samt konsekvenserne for borgerne i Europa.
The information campaigns, which have been developed at the initiative of the European Parliament, have nothing in common with propaganda campaigns; on the contrary, their aim is to explain the decisions adopted by the Heads of State and of Government with regard to the introduction of the euro, and their consequences as far as Europeans are concerned.
Kommissionen har udviklet disse kampagner i fuld overensstemmelse med principperne om subsidiaritet, decentralisering og partnerskab, det vil sige med de forskellige regeringers samtygge og med deltagelse af de regeringer, der ønsker det.
The Commission has developed these actions in full compliance with the principles of subsidiarity, ' decentralization and partnership, i.e. by agreement with the various governments, and with the in volvement of those who want to take part.
Kommissionen opfylder i og for sig kun regeringernes ønske: Hver trepartsaftale (medlemsstat, Europa-Parlament, Kommission) om iværksættelse af informationskampagner om euroen er undertegnet af en medlemsstat i overensstemmelse med den pågældende stats udtrykkelige ønsker.
The Commission simply responds to the requests of the governments: each tripartite agreement (between Member State, European Parliament and Com mission) relating to the implementation of information campaigns on the euro, is signed with a Member State, in accordance with the wishes expressed by the Member State.
Det er således ikke hensigten, og man førsøger hel ler ikke at få et lands befolkning til »at makke ret«.
There is therefore no intention or attempt to 'admonish' the population of any country whatsoever.
Euroen vil blive Europas valuta den 1. januar 1999.
On 1 January 1999, the euro will be the European currency.
Erfaringen viser, at jo bedre borgerne er infor meret Jo større tilhængere af euroen er de.
Experience shows that the more information citizens obtain, the more they support the euro.
Det ville ikke havde været muligt at forestille sig at gen nemføre et projekt af dette omfang for alle borgerne i Europa uden en passende informationsstrategi for således at opnå deres tilslutning til dette historiske projekt.
It would be unimaginable to carry out a project on this scale for all the citizens of Europe without an appropriate information strategy, in order to ask them to support this historic event.
Spørgsmål nr. 63 af Patricia McKenna (H-0943/97)
Question No 63 by Patricia McKenna (H-0943/97)
Den 28. november 1997 besøgte kommissæren for regionalpolitik, Monika Wulf-Mathies, Dublin og havde møder med forskellige irske ministre.
On 28 November 1997, the Commissioner for Regional Policy, Mrs Monika Wulf-Mathies, visited Dublin and held meetings with various Irish Ministers.
Næste dag blev hun i The Irish Times citeret for en udtalelse om, at de 114 millioner IEP, som EU har afsat til den projekterede bybane i Dublin, Luas, ville blive trukket tilbage, hvis der skete yderligere forsinkelser i gennemførelsen af projektet.
The following day she was quoted in the Irish Times as saying that the IEP £114 million which the EU has allocated to the Luas, Dublin's planned light railway system, would be withdrawn if further delays in the introduction ofthe system were encountered.
Arbejdet med at anlægge bybanen er i øjeblikket gået i stå, da Irlands minister for offentlige arbejder, Mary O'Rourke, har søgt at få gennemført en undersøgelse af mulighederne for, at hele eller dele af bybanen bliver underjordisk.
Progress on introducing the Luas is currently stalled as Ireland's Minister for Public Enterprise, Mrs Mary O'Rourke, has asked for a study to be carried out into the prospect of running all or part of the system underground.
Kan Kommissionen også oplyse, om den vil forhindre de irske myndigheder i at anvende de midler, der måske vil blive trukket tilbage fra bybaneprojektet, til anlæg af veje i stedet?
Can the Commission also state whether it will prevent the Irish authorities from redirecting the funds which may be withdrawn from the Luas to road developments?
Bestemmelserne om Fællesskabets bevillinger til bybanen i Dublin (Luas) findes i det operationelle transportprogram for Irland (1994-1999), hvori der specifikt beskrives en bybane, som gennem skærer centrum på gadeniveau, uden behov for en dyr tunnel.
Provision for Community funding towards the light rail transit system (LUAS) in Dublin is con tained in the Transport Operational Programme for Ireland, (1994-1999), which specifically de scribes a light rail transit system able to 'penetrate the City Centre on-street and without the need for expensive tunnelling'.
I lyset af de forsinkelser, der vil opstå som følge af en beslutning om, at en del af banen skal være underjordisk, vil en sådan beslutning således udelukke finansiering inden for den nuværende fællesskabsstøtteramme (EFSR).
In view of the delays which would be caused by a decision to under ground part of this project, such a decision would therefore exclude it from funding under the present Community Support Framework (CSF).
Projektet blev behandlet i forbindelse med midtvejsvurderingen af fællesskabsstøtterammen for Irland.
The project has been considered in the context ofthe Mid-Term Review ofthe Irish CSF.
Tilsynsudvalget besluttede at vurdere projektet i foråret 1998, hvor alle eller en del af midlerne vil blive trukket tilbage og tildelt andre projekter inden for støtterammen, hvis der ikke er gjort tilstrækkelige fremskridt.
The mon itoring committee decided to review the project in Spring 1998 when, if sufficient progress has not been achieved 'all or part of the funds will be decornmitted and reallocated to other projects within
På nuværende tidspunkt ønsker Kommissionen imidlertid ikke at udtale sig nærmere om denne planlagte vurdering af projektet.
14.1.98 the CSF'. At this stage, however, the Commission would not wish to pre­empt these agreed ar­rangements for review of the project.

Question No 64 by Ulla Sandbæk (H­0945/97)
Om: Implementering af våbendirektivet
Subject: Implementation of weapons directive
I forbindelse med direktivets gennemførelse blev det anført, at jægeres og konkurrenceskytters transport af våben ikke udgør nogen sikkerhedsmæssig risiko eller potentiale for våbenkriminalitet.
In connection with implementation of the directive it was specified that the transport of firearms by hunters and target shooters did not represent a security risk or potential crime.
Hvilke initiativer påtænker Kommissionen at tage med henblik på at tilpasse bestemmelserne om jægeres og konkurrenceskytters transport af våben mellem medlemslandene til de regler, der er fastlagt i direktivet?
What does the Commission plan to do to adapt the provisions on the transport of firearms by hunt­ers and target shooters between the Member States to the rules laid down in the directive?
Er det Kommissionens opfattelse, at jægeres og konkurrenceskytters transport af våben udgør en risiko ¡relation til misbrug af våben?
In the Commission's view does the transport of firearms by hunters and target shooters constitute a risk in relation to the misuse of weapons?
Kommissionen er i gang med at udfærdige en beretning til Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet om gen nemførelsen af direktiv 91/477/EØF om erhvervelse og besiddelse af våben (2)
The Commission is preparing a report to the European Parliament and Council on the implemen­tation of Directive 91/477 on the control of the acquisition and possession of weapons (2).
Imidlertid fastsætter direktivet, at mere lempelige regler skal vedtages, for så vidt angår jagt og konkurrenceskydning, for ikke i unødvendig grad at hindre den frie bevægelighed af personer.
As well as the Pass, there is a requirement which complies with the Directive, relating to prior authorization by the destination Member State, when the firearm transported is subject to au­thorization in the said Member State.
Redskabet til at sikre jægeres og konkurrenceskytters frie bevægelighed med skydevåben er det såkaldte våbenpas. Dette er imidlertid ikke anerkendt i alle medlemslande.
In this case, the possession of a pass, and proof of the reason for the journey (e.g. by producing an invitation) is insufficient.
I visse lande kræves der fortsat ekstra forudgående til ladelse til medbringeise af våben, ligesom der er eksempler på, at der i denne forbindelse opkræves afgift.
With regard to the duties imposed by some Member States on the issue of a prior authorization, nothing is mentioned in the Directive. This silence cannot be interpreted as prohibiting such duties.
Spørgsmål nr. 65 af Alan Gillis (H-0947/97)
Question No 65 by Alan Gillis (H-0947/97)
Vil Kommissionen af hensyn til priskonkurrencen og forbrugernes valg og i lyset af, at sagen for de mange el-forhandlere, der har økonomiske vanskeligheder som direkte resultat af ESB's forvridning af markedet, er presserende, give tilsagn om at behandle klagen så hurtigt som muligt?
In the interests of price competition and consumer choice, and in the light ofthe urgency ofthe matter for those electrical retailers who are suffering financial difficulty as a direct result of the distortion of the market by the ESB, can the Commission give an assurance of its commitment to pursue this complaint as expeditiously as possible?
Kommissionen er p.t. ved at behandle den klage, som det ærede medlem nævner.
The Commission is currently investigating the complaint referred to by the Honourable Member.
En ikke-fortrolig udgave af klagen er fremsendt til ESB, så organisationen kan udtale sig om den.
A non-confidential version of the complaint has been sent to the ESB so that the organisation may make its comments.
Denne udtalelse ventes at foreligge snart.
These comments are expected shortly.
Kommissionen giver gerne det ønskede tilsagn om, at klagen af hensyn til alle parters legitime in teresser vil blive behandlet så hurtigt som muligt.
The Commission can indeed give the assurance sought by the Honourable Member, to the effect that the complaint will be pursued as expeditiously as possible, having regard to the legitimate in terests of all the parties involved.
Spørgsmål nr. 66 af Konstantinos Hatzidakis (H-0949/97)
Question No 66 by Konstantinos Hatzidakis (H-0949/97)
Om: Grækenlands politiske repræsentation i Regionsudvalget
Subject: Political representation of Greece in the Committee of the Regions
Artikel 198 A i Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union bestemmer, at der skal oprettes et »Regionsudvalg« bestående af repræsentanter for de regionale og lokale myndigheder.
Article 198a ofthe Treaty on European Union is concerned with the establishment of a 'Committee of the Regions' consisting of representatives of local and regional bodies.
Udvalgets medlem mer beskikkes af Rådet ved enstemmig vedtagelse efter indstilling frade respektive medlemsstater.
Members are appointed by the Council acting unanimously on proposals from their respective Member States.
Den græske regering indstillede seks repræsentanter for de lokale myndigheder og seks repræsentanter for de regionale myndigheder for Rådet for den nye fire års periode.
The Greek Government has proposed to the Council six local government and six regional govern ment representatives for the new four year term.
Medlemmerne af Regionsudvalget er ligesom i Europa-Parlamentet delt op i politiske grupper.
The members of the Committee of the Regions have formed political groups as in the European Parliament.
Af de 12 græske medlem mer har den græske regering dog foreslået 10 medlemmer fra regeringens egen politiske retning, nemlig venstrefløjen, og kun 2 (en borgmester og en regional leder) fra oppositionspartiet, der ifølge resultaterne af det sidste parlamentsvalg repræsenterer 38 % af det græske folk.
However, of the twelve members rep resenting Greece, the Greek Government has proposed ten members from its own ranks and to the left ofthe wider political spectrum and only two (a mayor and a prefect) from the official opposition party which (according to the most recent parliamentary elections) represent 38 % of the Greek people.
Ingen anden medlemsstat har benyttet en sådan taktik. Der er tale om selvbestaltet småpartikævl, der hæves op på europæisk plan, idet vort lands elementære politiske repræsentation i Regionsudvalget trues.
No other Member State has acted in this way and the adoption of such arbitrary and selfserving partisan tactics at European level merely serves to undermine the fundamental principles governing the political representation of our country in the Committee of the Regions.
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen at træffe frem til den 22. januar 1998 for at undgå for drejning af den græske politiske repræsentation i den europæiske institution for de regionale og lokale myndigheder?
What steps will the Commission take before 22 January 1998 to prevent the distortion ofthe political representation of Greece in this European body consisting of local and regional government representatives?
Som det ærede parlamentsmedlem så rigtigt henviser til, bestemmes det i artikel 198 A, stk. 3, i Traktaten om Det Europæiske Fællesskab, der er ændret af Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union, at medlemmerne af Regionsudvalget beskikkes af Rådet efter indstiling fra medlemsstaterne.
As the honourable Member has said, the third sub-paragraph of Article 198A ofthe Treaty instituting the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, stipulates that the Members ofthe Committee ofthe Regions are appointed by the Council, acting on proposals made by the Member States.
I modsætning til det, der er fastsat for udpegelsen af medlemmerne af Det Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalg (artikel 195, stk. 2), høres Kommissionen ikke om udpegelsen af medlemmerne af Regionsudvalget.
Unlike the provisions relating to the appointment of members of the Economic and Social Com mittee (paragraph 2 of Article 195), the Commission is not consulted with regard to the appoint ment of members of the Committee of the Regions.
Den kan derfor intet foretage sig med hensyn til det spørgsmål, der stilles af det ærede parlamentsmedlem.
It cannot therefore take any action with regard to the issue raised by the Honourable Member.
