An examination of the prac­tices by different customs ser­vices revealed that while some national authorities aimed to check 10% of goods in transit, the Dutch only achieved checks on 0.5%, although such inspections take 12 hours in the Netherlands as against 10 minutes in Spain.
Ute Kassnitz har tidligere været redaktør af den tyske udgave. Hun kommer fra en stilling som ekspeditionssekretær i Parlamentets Underudvalg om Menne skerettigheder.
More emphasis is now placed on "risk analysis", on the basis of prior information, although it should be pointed out that the powers of different customs authorities as regards to spot checks on loads considerably.
Parlamentet mødes næste gang i Strasbourg den 10.-14. marts 1997.
But large-scale smuggling requires a receptive market and an effective distribution system.
På forslaget til dagsorden er bl.a. beretningen fra undersøgelsesudvalget om fællesskabsforsendelse.
Such markets have existed for some time in countries such as Italy and Spain, as can be seen from a statement made by one youngster apprehended in South Wales who openly admitted that he could easily make a satisfactory living from buying illegal packets of cigarettes in Spain and reselling them at home, as long as he successfully evaded British customs.
Siden 1971 har en arbejdsløs dan sker f.eks. kunnet rejse til England eller Spanien for at søge nyt job samtidig med, at han eller hun fortsat får arbejdsløshedsunderstøttelse fra Danmark.
The committee met with strong criticism of the national customs services not only for their lax approach to the prob­lem but also for the wide­spread impression given thai fraud was someone else's affair and could be tolerated as long as the guarantee sys­tem ensured that some rev­enue was being paid into the national coffers.
Lykkes det ikke at finde et job inden for tre måneder, skal den arbejdsløse vende tilbage til Danmark for fortsat at bevare ret ten til arbejdsløshedsunderstøttelse.
Some cus­toms services, faced with cut­backs in staff also seemed demoralised in the face of try­ing to tackle a problem that was the equivalent of tracing a needle in a haystack.
Tidsfristen på tre måneder har monerer ikke med traktatens bestemmelser om fri bevægelighed, mener Kommissionen og Parlamentet.
Many find their way back into the EU either by boat where they are landed on the Italian coast or by small-scale private smugglers via land border crossings.
Nu skal det vise sig, hvad Rådet mener om den sag.
Other consignments even come back into Europe from North Africa via Spain.
Det har i hvert faldt ikke skortet på betænkningstid for ministrene - siden 1980 har de haft et forslag fra Kom missionen liggende om at ophæve tremånedersfristen; men der er ikke sket noget.
The problem for the committee was to determine just how much the cigarette companies were aware of what was happening.
Derfor har Kommissionen trukket sit forslag tilbage og er kommet med et nyt, som det med enkelte mindre ændringer fik bred opbakning til fra Parlamentet. Hovedpunkterne i direktivforslaget er, at en arbejdsløs, som rejser til et andet EU-land for at søge arbejde, kan bevare retten til under støttelse ud over de tre måneder.
As the report notes: "It is impossible not to ask in cases where companies' products are subject to widespread and large-scale fraud to what extent those companies are aware of what is happening, what their attitude is to it and whether or not there is any passive or active involvement on their part."
For at undgå misbrug foreslår Kommissionen, at den arbejdsløse efter de tre måneder hverken kan få flere penge eller understøttelse i længere tid end det, der gælder i lovgivningen i det land, han/hun er rejst til. Han/hun kan heller ikke få flere penge, end hvis han/hun var deholder noget krav om handling.
Indeed the committee's report warns "if the political difficulties of forming a single service are allowed to continue to prevent it coming into being, it will be at the price of a structural inability on the part of the authorities throughout Europe to police the Single Market and tackle customs fraud".
Kommissionen påpeger selv i en beretning om direktivet fra 1994, at der også er sket meget lidt på de områder, hvor medlemsstaterne er forpligtet til at tage initiativer.
There does however seem to be a belated acknowledgement by the Member States that as far as cross-border fraud is concerned, there is a need to call in UCLAF, the EU's antifraud squad.

Some 80 billion cigarettes are imported into the EU each year and 90 per cent come through the port of Antwerp.
De fire pe ger imidlertid på, at visse punkter i forslaget bør uddybes yderligere og nævner bl.a. administrationen og kontrollen af den arbejdsløses dag penge, hvor det i forslaget er den medlemsstat, hvor den arbejdsløse søger arbejde, der er forpligtet til at kontrollere den arbejdsløse.

Astrid Lulling bemærker i sin betænkning, at efter at Parlamentet besluttede at lade Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder udarbejde initiativbetænkningen, har Kommissionen bebudet en rundbordssamtale med interesserede organisationer, og den vil forelægge forslag om et revideret direktiv i 1997.
The introduction of the 100 per cent guarantee has had little effect since this can easily be circumvented by criminals who simply declare alternative goods on the form so that this does not attract the attention of customs officiais.
Det burde være sket for tre år siden, konstaterer Astrid Lulling.
As the committee report puts it: "The beauty of this system from the point of
I betænkningen kommer Parlamentet med nogle bud på, hvad der skal med i det kommende direktiv, og nævner bl.a. obligatorisk registrering af medhjælpende ægtefæller for dermed at gøre dem synlige.
A calculation of the number of cigarettes exported to a particular country compared with market research estimates of consumption can indicate possibilities for illegal sales.
Videre peges der på mulighederne for, at medhjælpende ægtefæller skal kunne tegne forsikring, der indebærer sygesikring, al derspension, ydelser i forbindelse med barselsorlov og afløsningsordninger samt ydelser i forbindelse med invaliditet.
The finger has also been pointed at Switzerland, an ideal environment for disguising the origins of cigarette transactions, with its customs-free zones and banking secrecy considered by the head of the Commission's antifraud unit, UCLAF "a boon to fraudsters".
Medhjælpende ægtefæller skal have samme vilkår og adgang til erhvervsuddannelse, som gælder for selvstændige erhvervsdrivende. Det nye direktiv skal ikke blot gælde for ægtefæller, men også for samlevende i de medlemsstater, der anerkender så danne varige samlivsformer, me ner Parlamentet.

Increase in racist attacks
Richard Howitt var af den opfattelse, at det er tom retorik, når medlemslandene hidtil har talt om behovet for samordning.

Dermed er udviklingsarbejdet blevet nedprioriteret. Dette er meget uheldigt, mener Parlamentet, idet udvikling på lang sigt er mere effektiv end nødhjælp.
R prompted MEPs from k across the political spectrum to
Det er nødvendigt, at EU's med lemslande bliver bedre til at samarbejde om hjælpen til udviklingslandene, hedder det i to beslutninger fra Europa-Parlamentet om udviklingshjælp og humanitær hjælp.
MEPs this month sup­ported the idea of a European Peace Corps to assist humanitarian aid missions.
Samarbejde er det eneste middel til at øge effektiviteten af hjælpen.
A pilot project designed to give young Europeans an opportu­nity to take part in volun­tary service abroad has just been launched and this could form the basis of a fully fledged opera­tion.
Parlamentet er af den opfattelse, at det hidtil blot har været tomme ord, når medlemslandene har talt om at samordne bistanden.
The size of the EU emergency aid budget to deal with such crises as have been seen recently in Rwanda has mush­roomed from ECU 370m in 1992 to ECU 690m In 1995.
Den politiske vilje til samordning har ikke været til stede.
MEPs believe youngsters could play an important role in helping operations and that the programme could engen­der a strong feeling of European solidarity.
- Vi ser det i de nationale dele gationer, hvor vi finder mistænksomhed og fjendskab mellem dem, sagde Richard Howitt.

Hands stretched out in friendship to promote European Year against Racism
Hollænderen Johanna Maij-Weggen fra Det Europæiske Folkeparties Gruppe gjorde opmærksom på, at man også kan drukne et land i forkert hjælp.
JOSE Maria Gil­Robles, the president of Parliament, this month was awarded the Automotive Safety Award 1996/1997 by Max Mosley, president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, the worldwide non­profit group of motoring organisations.
Hun nævnte, at mere end halvdelen af Zambias bruttonationalprodukt stammer fra udviklingshjælp, og at dette har kvalt al egen dynamik i landet.
This was for the European Parliament's support of new front and side­impact car crash test regulations.
EU er den største yder af offentlig bistand til verdens udvikling, idet mere end halvdelen af den offentlige bistand i verden kommer fra EU.
It is estimated that the new legislation will reduce by up to 90,000 the number of deaths and serious injuries on the road.
Den manglende samordning af medlemslandenes udviklingspolitikker er et politisk nederlag for Den Europæiske Union, beklager Parlamentet.
Investors enjoy extra protection join forces and condemn in the strongest terms acts of racism and intolerance.
Endvidere understreges det, at samordningen mellem Fællesskabets og medlemsstaternes politik over for udviklingslande er en af målsætningerne i traktaten om Den Europæiske Union.
What is particularly worrying is the increase of violence and rise in support for extremist views in Germany and France.
Tyskeren Maren Güntherira Det Europæiske Folkeparties Gruppe delte McGowans bekymring over våbeneksporten, men mente dog ikke, at man entydigt kan løse alle problemer ved at forbyde våbensalg.
In Germany there has been a spate of attacks on asylum seek­ers and people from ethnic minorities, while in France some local administrations in towns such as Toulon, have censored publications by minor­ity writers.
- Medlemslandene bruger ofte deres udviklingsprogrammer til andre formål: som et instrument for udenrigspolitikken, som et instrument for snævre nationale interesser, som et instrument for våbenindustrien, som et instrument for olieindustrien, sagde Michael McGowan.
Cross­border activity, which last month saw letter­bombs posted in Malmö sent to mixed­race couples in London, is also worrying and prompted Glyn Ford (Greater Manchester East, PES) to call on the British government to abandon its opposition to the proposed European Observatory on Racism.
- Der findes altid kriminelle elementer, som finder midler og veje til at skaffe sig våben, for derefter at afhænde disse i konfliktområder.
This would be a con­crete symbol of the EU's will­ingness to monitor racist attacks and devise a common strategy to challenge lhe ugly side of nationalism in this European Year against Racism.
Med flotte forhandlinger alene løser man ikke problemerne, understregede Maren Günther.
MEPs want the observatory to act as a centre to bring together the existing adminis­trations, undertake a survey of extremist movements and look at the effectiveness of existing policies in the member states. It appears, however, that the
- Dette afspejler generelt manglen på samordning af udviklingshjælpen, mente McGowan.
British government is wary of supporting the introduction of a new administrative body at a European level.
- Det er et tegn på dårlig koordinering, sagde Maij-Weggen.
It was just a question of finding the right formula.
Mange af ordførerne for de politiske grupper fremhævede under Parlamentets debat, at konfliktforebyggelse er en meget vigtig del af udviklingssamarbejdet.
In the same debate, Commissioner Flynn hoped that "flexibility" would be used to allow the EU initiative to get oil' the ground.
Det Europæiske Är mod Racisme
The problem is inquiry committee report into the rise of racism in Europe at the time.
Kommissionen retter sig hverken efter Rådet eller Europa-Parlamentet. Det sagde den britiske social demokrat Ken Collins i en mundtlig forespørgsel til Kommissionen om brugen af rævesakse.
Although this has been a useful tool for those campaigning, against racism, legal wrangles over EU compe­tences in the field have ham­pered European actions.
Hans udtalelse afspejler meget vel Parlamentets holdning i sagen.
This year will, however, see campaigning across Europe in support of harmony between people of different cultures.
Ken Collins er formand for Parlamentets Ud valg om Miljø- og Sund- hedsanliggender og Forbrugerbeskyttelse.
MEPs want to see the participa­tion of a wide cross­section of people from the local commu­nity and projects involving prominent personalities such as sportspeople, musicians and singers.
Men det argument faldt ikke i god jord hos portugiseren Carlos Pi menta fra Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe. - Den aftale, Kommissær Sir Leon Brittan indgik, var ikke i over ensstemmelse med mandatet fra Rådet.
that the EU does not have a clear mandate under the treaties to act against racism and xenophobia under present arrangements.
At påstå noget andet er simpelthen løgn, sagde han.
EU policy can only be agreed through una­nimity.
¡dræts- og ungdomsorganisationer, så de bliver i stand til at tackle disse situationer.
MEPs however, would like to see a treaty change agreed at the intergovernmental confer­ence to allow the EU to act.
I Parlamentets beslutning peges der også på, at uddannelse spiller en væsentlig rolle for bekæmpelsen af racisme.
Indeed, there is a proposal to include an anti­discriminatory article in the new treaty.
Gennem uddannelse udvikles samvittighed og en følelse af socialt ansvar.
The three institutions: Parliament, Commission and Council, did adopt a joint declaration oppos­ing racism and xenophobia in 1986, following Parliament's
Baggrunden for den mundtlige forespørgsel er forbudet mod brug af rævesakse i EU.
AN agreement was approved between MEPs and Council on a directive designed to introduce a compensation scheme to protect investors in the event of bankruptcy or fraud.
Kommissionen har på Fællesskabets vejne for handlet med USA, Canada og Rusland om et udvidet forbud med den trussel i baghånden, at Unio nen vil forbyde import af skind fra dyr, som er fanget i fælderne.
A minimum level of protection has been set at ECU 20,000, with compensation schemes funded by companies themselves.
Alligevel henstillede Kommissionen til Rådet at godkende aftalerne.
Women's health issues concern committee
- Handelshensyn vejer åbenbart tungere end demokratiske princip per, sagde hollænderen Doeke Eisma fra Det Europæiske Liberale og Demokratiske Partis Gruppe.
WOMEN'S health issues were a pri­ority for the petitions committee this month when MEPs initiated the first steps to changes in tampon manufac­turers marketing policies and member stale health policies.
Kampen mod racisme og frem medhad skal først og fremmest føres nationalt og lokalt. I Parlamentets beslutning er der ros til Danmark for at have sat flere midler af på finansloven til bekæmpelse af racisme og fremmedhad.
MEPs were surprised to hear that only four stales (the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden and the United Kingdom) have a breast screening programme as part of their national health services.
1997 er af EU bleyet udpeget som Det Europæiske År mod Racisme.
MEPs are fighting to outlaw leghold traps ... ...
- Kommissionen blæser på ved tagne love og Rådets og Parlamentets beslutninger.
MEPs called on the Commission to come forward with a legislative proposal to protect consumers when entering Into cross­border financial agreements.
Kommissionen må holde op med at sætte handelsinteresser højst og gen nemføre importforbudet, krævede Eisma.
Parliament wants the legislation to cover information and price transparency with a cooling­off period providing for the right to withdraw from a contract.
Flere talere beklagede, at der er direkte modstrid mellem de pæne ord og de love, medlemslandene vedtager.
MEPs bridged the political divide on 29 January when they sup­ported a petition to save St Bartholomews Hospital in central London, which is due for closure in 2001.
Claudia Roth, tysk grøn, rettede et kraftigt angreb mod den tyske indenrigsminister for at have indført visumpligt for børn af ind vandrere fra Tyrkiet, Tunesien, Marokko og republikkerne i det tidligere Jugoslavien. I en beslutning, som Parlamentet vedtog den 20. februar, opfordres den tyske for bundsregering til ophæve disse bestemmelser.
On presentation of the petition to chairman of the peti­tions committee, Alessandro Fontana (EPP,I), Stan Newens (PES, UK) and Roy Perry (EPP, UK) emphasised the importance of St Barts, not only as a hospital but also as a European cultural institution.
Også den franske re gering bliver opfordret til at trække et lovforslag tilbage, som giver en hver pligt til at udlevere navn på den eller de udlændinge, der bor hos vedkommende.
The petition is sup­ported by 1,070,000 signatures from all over Britain.
Ulla Sandbæk fra Juni B e v æ ge l sen kunne ikke tilslutte sig Parlamentets kritik udfra den betragtning, at man ad forhandlingens vej bedre vil kunne gavne dyrs velfærd. Hun så også et dobbeltmoralsk aspekt i kritikken. - Vi opfylder jo langt fra selv de krav, som vi stiller.
Considering a petition from Green Network bearing 25,000 signatures on research into the high incidence of breast cancer in Lincolnshire in the UK and the use of pesticides, MEPs agreed suspicions of a link should be investigated.
Benfælder er for budt i EU på offentligt, men ikke på privat område, og de kan købes med instruktioner om brugen lige uden for Europa-Parlamentets dør, påpegede Ulla Sandbæk.
"Breast screening pro­grammes may be the reason why the incidence of breast cancer is so high in the UK, but are essential in target­ing the disease which has so far no proven causes" said the Commission.
Kommissær Padraig Flynn for klarede, at midlerne fra EU's bud get først og fremmest vil blive brugt på projekter, der fremmer samarbejdet.
The campaign group Doctors­save­Barts, led by Dr Bonner­Morgan, are petitioning the com­mittee on the hospital's closure on the grounds that it affects citi­zens right to health.
Kommissionen samarbejder med en tænketank, sammen sat af uafhængige eksperter, de nationale ad hoc komitéer og NGO'er, fortalte Flynn.

It was important to remember that the European integration process had secured peace for the past 40 years, said Party of European Socialists leader Pauline Green (London, North), but at the same time for the EU to secure the support of the people, the challenge now was to show that it did have a role to play in such areas on combatting unemployment and improving food health.
