Parlamentet foreslår, at der op rettes en »fælles Østersømiljøfond« til finansiering af bl.a. bygning af rensningsanlæg i de polske, baltiske og russiske Østersøbyer.
Madron Seligman (Sussex West, EPP) also saw the report as a means of opening the way for new European strategy.
- De østlige og vestlige lande omkring Østersøen har ikke meget at lade hinanden gøre, når det drejer sig om at medvirke til forureningen, selv om årsagerne er forskellige fra land til land, mente Birgit Bjørnvig fra Regnbuegruppen.
But before the green light can be given for British exports to the Continent to be viable, Mr Adam wants the Commission to accept the case for a fullscale antidumping investigation into imports from third countries.

While predictions of demand vary, it is estimated that developing countries, especially those in Asia, will double their share of consumption by the year 2005.
»Fra dansk side gør vi ikke for mandskabet og varetagelsen af disse pligter til elementer i vore indre politiske stridigheder.
Capacity at present outstrips demand and although it is expected to keep pace with demand, production costs can be expected to increase as the most accessible reserves are exhausted.
Der hjælper vi hinanden, uanset hvem der sidder i stolen og med ansvaret.
Cost comparison with other sources of fuel are notoriously difficult to make.
Vi hjælper hinanden, fordi vi ved, at specielt et lille land - og da især et land som Danmark, der sidste år påkaldte sig en vis opmærksomhed, først og fremmest ved at slå en række af de store lande i fodbold og dernæst ved at gennemføre en afstemning, der har været nævnt her - vil det være særlig vigtigt at varetage formandskabet på en måde, der skaber respekt, og det vil vi alle sammen hjælpe hinanden med«.
While the report notes that estimates for the operating costs of electricity generation in the UK by nuclear power vary between 38 ECU and 88 ECU per MWh, recent investments by the regional electricity companies in gas fired power stations have been made on the basis of gas price contracts believed to be around 41 ECU per MWh.

Jacob T. Pedersen fra Johannesskolen på Frederiksberg blev vinder af Europa-Parlamentets prisopgave for 1992.
In its detailed comments on the 31 British coal mines under threat, it notes that pits in Yorkshire facing the axe include low cost mines with extensive reserves, such as Bentley, Frickley, Maltby and the Prince of Wales.
Præmien blev givet for en velafbalanceret og analytisk diskussion af årsagerne til den danske afvisning af Maastricht-Traktaten den 2. juni 1992, hedder det i bedømmelsesudvalgets begrundelse.
At the same time, it recognises that other pits such as the last one in Lancashire, Parkside Colliery, face rising costs and cannot expect to survive. Similarly, Taff Merthyr in Wales is a high cost mine with only a few years of reserves left, while another Welsh mine Betws, is likely to be taken over by private operators following its closure.

- Vi har investeret enorme ressourcer i krisen i det tidligere Jugoslavien; men vi har ikke haft noget valg, da Jugoslaviens blodige sammenbrud har en så vital betydning både for denne region og for hele Europa, sagde den fungerende formand for Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde Uffe Ellemann-Jensen som indledning til Europa-Parlamentets debat onsdag den 20. januar.
WITH fear being express­ed that Europe's peripheral regions have most to lose in the EC single market, MEPs approved a resolu­tion, tabled by Τ J Maher (Munster, LDR) on behalf of the regional committee, which backs the clubbing together of Europe's Atlan­tic regions to ensure that their voice is heard at an EC level.
Parlamentet ønsker at fremme bøger og læsning i Europa.
Investment in new mining techniques can cut costs but will it be enough to save the mines threatened with closure?
For målet er at højne bogens værdi som kultur-formidler. Parlamentet kræver bl.a., at bøger, aviser og tidsskrifter bliver fritaget for moms.
Stretching from Scotland in the north to Portugal in the south, and taking in all of Ireland, Wales and south­west England as well as the Atlan­tic coasts of France and Spain, one of the common characteristics of this western seaboard of Europe is a strong association with language and culture, in many cases a Celtic tradition.
Samtidig opfordres Kommissionen til at sikre, at prisen for en bog inklusive samtlige afgifter ikke er højere i nogen af medlemslandene end prisen på den samme bog i det EF-land, hvorfra den stammer.
Together the regions have a population of 46 million, and cover 22% of the Community land area.
Endvidere glæder Parlamentet sig over, at der i København den 23. april i år iværksættes en kampagne til fremme af bøger og læsning.

THE summary execution in Sierra Leone over the Christmas period of 26 peo­ple alleged to be plotting against the government led to MEPs adopting a resolution, tabled by the Greens, which strongly condemns the action taken by the authorities and expresses deep concern about growing repression in the country.

Previous proposals have fallen on stony ground and failed to get through Council, where unanimity and a British veto applies.
EF-instJtutJoneme har ofte benyttet sig af decentrale serviceorganer og agenturer. Der er allerede truffet beslutning om en række nye agenturer som for eksempel Det Europæiske Miljøagentur.
The British government has already suspended aid to the country, including a £4 million financial support package, and EC leaders have also protested.
Der er nu for slag om at oprette flere organer blandt andet Det Europæiske Narkotikaovervågningscenter, en Varemærkemyndighed og et Agentur for Lægemiddelvurdering.
The scheme is entirely voluntary but is intended to promote increased en­vironmental awareness amongst the business com­munity and reduce pollution.
Parlamentet mener, at decentrale organer kan være nødvendige til specifikke opgaver, men advarer mod, at det er vanskeligt for Kommissionen og Budgetmyndigheden at kontrollere disse organer.

THE Commission is looking at ways of opening up Europe's national postal service to more competition.
Gruppeskift eller design, påpeger Moorhouse. Mange vestlige regeringer, inklusive handelsforhandlere fra både EF og USA vil hævde, at det - i hvert fald delvis - skyldes, hvad der er blevet kaldt »systematisk regeringspraksis og regeringsstøttet privatpraksis, som i alvorlig grad hæmmer markedsadgangen i Japan«, citeres det i betænkningen.
One problem at present is that a full recharge of the battery takes between two and eight hours but this can be expected to be reduced to much shorter periods in the future with temporary recharge facilities provided at out­of­town supermarkets.
Det er der også brug for fremover, men det er ikke nok til at bedre handelsforholdet mellem EF og Japan, frygter Parlamentet. Det slår derfor til lyd for, at både den japanske eksport og import bliver bredere i sektorer, hvor landet ligger langt under OECD-gennem-snittet.
WITH road traffic forecast to grow at a rate of 3.8% each year and contribute towards an increase in pollution in Europe's major cities, MEPs called on the Commission to come up with a ten year action programme to promote the use of electric vehicles in towns.
Der er brug for en bedre balance i de økonomiske og handelsmæssige forbindelser mellem EF og Japan, mener Europa-Parlamentet.
Multi­member constituen­cies is another option.
Det japanske handelsoverskud er igen stigende, og det rammer især EF-landene. Den japanske eksport til EF er med næsten 52 mia. ECU mere end dobbelt så stor som importen, som i 1990/91 lå på 22 mia. ECU. Det rekordstore handelsoverskud forventes at ville stige.
As far as the UK is concerned, where the transferable vote system operates in Northern Ireland, he is suggesting that just half the seats be distributed on a single member constituency basis, with the final count decided according to the total number of votes received by each party.

Transport committee expert Marie­José Denys (F, Soc) believes the market for elec­tric cars will not take off until the present vehicles produced by companies such as Renault, Fiat, BMW and General Motors are mass produced to the tune of 70,000 cars each year.
SF'eren John Iversen var med lem af GUE-gruppen, før han sidste år skiftede til De Grønne.
This being the case, she would like to see incentives in the form of sub­sidies or tax relief and, yes, believe it or not, free parking.
EF-landene har med en vis succes eksporteret luksusvarer til Japan. Det er prestigeprodukter og er derfor ikke nogen trussel mod den japanske masseproduktion.
MEPs want the scheme to go further by offering tax con­cessions and preferential treat­ment in the awarding of public contracts to encourage more companies to take part.
Samtidig er netop luksusvarer meget sårbare overfor økonomisk afmatning.
Parliament also wants EC­backed regional projects to be subject to proper scrutiny with regard to any possible adverse effect on the environment.
Det er derfor nødvendigt at sikre, at eksporten også stiger på områder, som ikke er så følsomme. Det er imidlertid
Last June Lyndon Harrison (Cheshire West, Soc) drew at­tention to the damage caused to wetland areas in Greece as a result of an EC­backed ir­rigation project to divert the river Acheloos in Greece, and MEPs want provisions written into the new regional fund regulations to ensure that this cannot happen again.
Oplysningerne stammer fra en betænkning om de handelsmæssige og økonomiske forbindelser mellem EF og Japan.
Energy consumption of electric cars is less than half that of petrol or diesel driven cars, while they have a range of between 100km and 200km before the battery needs to be recharged.
Betænkningen er udarbejdet af den britiske konservative James Moorhouse for Europa-Parlamentets Udvalg om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser.
Studies show that 80% of car journeys are for less than 10kms.
USAs handelsunderskud over for Japan er ikke steget nær så stærkt som EF's. Parlamentet advarer mod, at de japanske eksportører i stigende grad vil vende sig mod Europa, fordi det bliver sværere at komme ind på det amerikanske marked.
Douglas Hurd, meanwhile, speaking in the House of Com­mons, has indicated that Bri­tain intends to keep its constituency system and redraw existing boundaries to allow for the six extra seats agreed for the UK at the Edin­burgh Summit.

'Ban' call to fight BSE
Japan er kun verdens tredje største eksportland efter Tyskland og USA.
WITH the number of cases of mad cow disease (BSE) in Britain continuing to increase, Parliament is call­ing for additional measures to combat and eradicate this fatal cattle disease.
Moorhouse fremhæver i sin betænkning to særlige karakteristika, som gør det japanske handelsproblem kontroversielt og genstridigt: * Den meget lave import af forar bejdede produkter * Eksporten er koncentreret om relativt få sektorer.
It wants a ban on the sale for human consumption of beef from livestock suspected of infection by BSE and for research into its causes to be intensified.
Modstand mod import
disease known as scrapie.
Parlamentet fordømmer på det kraftigste Iraks krænkelser af FN s resolutioner. Ansvaret for de seneste militære aktioner ligger udelukkende hos Saddam Hussein, hvis hovedmål er at forblive ved magten, selvom det koster ofre blandt den irakiske befolkning, mener Parlamentet.
While the incidence of BSE has occurred prin­cipally in Britain, a small number of cases have also been notified in Ireland, France and Switzerland.
Man kræver dog, at der ikke tages nye initiativer til repressalier mod styret i Bagdad uden for FN's regi.
Parliament sees BSE as a Community­wide pro­blem, hence the need for EC action to back up na­tional measures if the disease is to be eradicated.
Hvis enkeltlande tager initiativ for at få overholdt resolutionerne fra FN's Sikkerhedsråd, kan det skade FN's troværdighed, advarer Parlamentet.
Some experts believe BSE will soon run its course and end by about the year 2000.
Den japanske økonomis mod stand mod import er legendarisk, mener Moorhouse.
All programmes should be monitored closely and, indeed, not approved unless en­vironmentally acceptable, said Mr Harrison.
En import af forarbejdede varer på 3% af BNP placerer landet på det laveste niveau i OECD.
For the Commission, Bruce Millan shared members' concerns and pointed out that the Commission had acted to suspend projects found to be detrimental to the environ­ment.

THIS week in Brussels saw the launch of the European Year of Older People and Solidarity Bet­ween Generations, which is design­ed to highlight the place of older people in society and to raise awareness of issues of ageing.
Det politimæssige samarbejde mellem EF-lande, som kaldes Europol, skulle allerede have været reguleret ved EF-lovgivning, mener Europa-Parlamentet.
Thanks to Parliament, which cam­paigned for a European Year of the Elderly, the EC budget is now 7.5m ECU.
Ved gennemførelsen af det indre marked burde der have været skabt et tættere samarbejde mellem landenes politimyndigheder.
Up to 30% funding may be available from the European Commis­sion for appropriate projects which serve to promote awareness and understan­ding of ageing.

improvements in their living standards.
Regeringsaftaler og mellem statsligt samarbejde giver alt for lidt demokratisk kontrol med det, der foregår, sagde han.
In 1993 he particularly wants to see measures to tackle age discrimination in the workplace, the development of an EC seniors pass along the lines of the free travel available to senior citizens in Ireland, and the entitlement of older people to transfer pension and other social welfare rights across national frontiers.
Netop derfor ønsker vi, at Europol kommer ind under det almindelige EF-samarbejde, sagde Van Outrive.

By the year 2020 it is estimated that 20% of people in the Community will be over 65 years, as opposed to 14% at present.
Den portugisiske liberale Margarida Salerno O. Martins krævede, at der skabes en klar juridisk rolle for Europol under EF med mulighed for demokratisk kontrol.
A whole host of other events will ex­amine issues such as health, education and recreation for older people.
Den spanske Grønne Juan Ban-drés Molet frygtede, at et »overpoliti« kan blive en trussel og svært at kontrollere.
A road safety campaign for older people will begin in Northern Ireland in April, and an Older People's Arts Festival will take place in London in October.
Det er meget vigtigt, at Europa-Parlamentet får mulighed for at kontrollere et sådant politi, sagde han.
Next month will see the start of a programme of ex­
Hvis Europol kun skal være et mellemstatsligt samarbejde, betyder det, at demokrati et svækkes og hermed Parlamentets beføjelser, mente han.

Den tyske socialist Heinke Sali-sch støttede ordførerens synspunkter og understregede, at det ikke kan være nogen overraskelse, at der er brug for et tættere politimæssigt samarbejde, idet man i årevis har vidst, at behovet vil stige i takt med gennemførelsen af det indre marked.
ANDRE MIDDELHOEK, the new President of the Court of Auditors, the EC's financial watchdog, left MEPs in no doubt that he would be pursuing a tough policy of scrutinising every aspect of EC spending as he settles into his new role.
- Vi må forlange, at EF-retten kan anvendes, og at der bliver mulighed for kontrol fra Europa-Parlamentet, sagde den tyske
In comparing audits carried out in eight member states, on­ly the systems in Luxembourg, Portugal and Belgium were "adequate and reliable", he said.
Parlamentet mener, at det er nødvendigt med en afgrænsning for at hindre ukontrolleret over førsel af oplysninger til Europol.
And he will not just be rooting out fraud, estimated by one study to be running at a £5bn a year, but examining policies and the role of na­tional administrations to make sure objectives are achieved in the most effective way.
Han opfordrede til at få gjort det nye Europol til et mere åbent og demokratisk system.
It is in this area that the Court is meeting opposition from both the Commission and the member states.
Politiopgaver skal som hovedregel udføres på nationalt plan, men hvor det er indlysende med udvidet samarbejde, skal der naturlig
As to spending in specific sectors, the 31.5bn ECU farm budget was particularly prone to fraud, not only because of its size but also on account of complex regulations and fre­quent changes in legislation.
