På baggrund heraf har Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Det Indre Marked med Enrico FERRI (PPEDE, I) som ordfører udarbejdet en betænkning, hvori der fremsættes en række ændringsforslag, hovedsageligt med det formål at foretage stramninger og præciseringer i teksten.
Endorsing the Commission's strategy on the next generation of telecommunications, and in particular mobile phones in a new age of liberalisation, W.G. VAN VELZEN (EPP/ED, NL) underlined the need to adopt a flexible approach to deal with a rapidly changing industry.
Det konkluderes i beretningen, at direktivet har haft betydelige gavnlige virkninger. Det har således bidraget til, at Europa nu indtager en global førerstilling på området digitalt fjernsyn.
At the same time there was a need to ensure effective competition policy to apply to 15 different supervising bodies in the member states, all with different structures.
Kommissionen vurderer, at overgangen fra analog- til digital-tv er en positiv udvikling som følge af en mere effektiv udnyttelse af spektret.
One particular issue that needed to be tackled was, he said, the high cost of "roaming" for mobile phone communications across-networks.
Denne proces må imidlertid ikke for ringe forbrugerens valgmuligheder, navnlig i betragtning af at forbrugerne vil være nødt til at købe nyt modtageudstyr som en konsekvens af udviklingen.
The other issue was the question of auction licenses and here he called for settingup a working party to enable the European Parliament to be involved in the process.

Det anses for meget væsentligt at holde en regulering af tv-udbudet adskilt fra infrastrukturreguleringen.
Parliament voted to adopt without amendment this resolution on a Commission communication on the future of digital television.

Udvalget understreger betydningen af at sikre interoperabilitet på brugerniveau for de for skellige systemer med hensyn til anvendelse af digital-tv og tilhørende funktioner.
In the debate there was general support for this line with Mel READ (PES, East Midlands) emphasising the importance of "regulation with a purpose".

Rapporteur : Carlos WESTENDORP Y CABEZA (PES, E) Oral questions - China's accession to the WTO Doc: B5-0489/2000 B5-0490/2000 Procedure : Debate : Wednesday 14 June 2000
Han understregede vigtigheden af åbenhed om prisdannelsen. Borgerne skal kunne for stå, hvordan det hænger sammen, også inden for mobilsektoren, sagde han.
In tabling this question, Carlos WESTENDORP Y CABEZA (PES, E) stressed that China's accession to the WTO entailed a major challenge to all parties.
Ordføreren fremhævede afslutningsvis behovet for at etablere en gruppe, der kan for handle med Kommissionen med henblik på at sikre fortsat demokratisk kontrol inden for den samlede telesektor, også efter vedtagelsen og gennemførelsen af den relevante EU-lovgivning.
Mr Westendorp also congratulated Commissioner Pascal LAMY for his patience and perseverance in this whole process and considered that this was a positive agreement that would have great benefits for both sides.
Kommissionen vil forsøge at nå frem til en balance med henblik på at etablere en sammenhængende europæisk opfattelse på dette område og dermed skabe fælles spilleregler i EU.
Replying to the debate Commissioner Erkki LIIKANEN said that the key question was to develop an appropriate regulation to enable competition policy to apply to the industry.
Kommissær Erkki LIIKANEN tilsluttede sig i princippet udvalgets synspunkter og var enig i mange af konklusionerne.Han var således af den opfattelse, at målet med lovgivningen, herunder de sektorspecifikke foranstaltninger, skal være at fremme konkurrencen inden for telesektoren.
As to the Industry Committee's suggestion of limiting new legislation just to the period of 2005, Mr Liikanen warned that this approach could affect credibility.
Parlamentet vedtog betænkningen med en række ændringsforslag, fremsat af PPE-DE-og PSE-gruppen i fællesskab.
It was necessary to strike the right balance and to ensure a flexible approach.
Kommissæren understregede nødvendigheden af at tilgodese forbrugernes behov.
He also emphasised the need to ensure "number portability" as far as mobile phones were concerned.
Tekniske specifikationer må ikke virke begrænsende på forbrugerens muligheder for frit at vælge tjenesteudbyder, sagde han.
As to phone auctions, the procedures were a matter for the member states as long as the process was done in an objective way, was nondiscriminatory and was obviously transparent.
I samme forbindelse kunne han tilslutte sig ønsket om at lade det relevante EU-direktiv træde i kraft allerede fra 2001.
The Commission would not interfere as long as these principles were respected.
Han var dog modstander af at begrænse direktivets gyldighed til kun at gælde perioden 2001-2005, idet dette efter hans op fattelse kan tolkes som udtryk for manglende tillid til såvel lovgivningen som lovgiveren.
He also accepted the need for the next phase of liberalisation to proceed at a pace but was not convinced of the need for a new European regulator to ensure this.
Samtidig understreges behovet for at have opmærksomheden henledt på gennemførelsen af de eksisterende direktiver, så de store for skelle i liberaliseringen af de nationale markeder ikke bliver cementeret.
Once again it was a question of ensuring a balance and not interfering with national authorities as long as they were doing the job in question.
Med hensyn til licensauktionerne henviste kommissær LIIKANEN til, at det er med
President-in-office Francesco SEIXAS DA COSTA agreed that China's accession to the WTO represented a milestone that was the culmination of 14 years of talks.

A resolution reflecting the points raised in the debate was adopted with a number of amendments, one of which highlights the urgent need to complete the liberalisation process.
Endelig opfordres medlemsstaterne til at ned skære omkostningerne ved adgang til Internettet mest muligt og til at sikre en sådan ad gang i alle skoler, på alle universiteter, hospitaler, forsknings- og udviklingscentre, biblioteker, for de ældre og i forbindelse med almennyttige kulturarrangementer.
Another amendment call for the member states to reduce the cost of access to the internet to a minimum with a view to enabling educational and cultural bodies to benefit from the new technology.
Med udkastet etableres der effektive midler til at hindre fortsat brug af betingelser, der er klart urimelige over for kreditoren.
Parliament believes the working period of the new directives should be limited to the year 2005.
Forligsudvalget har godkendt et fælles udkast til direktiv om bekæmpelse af forsinket betaling i handelstransaktioner.
Commissioner PATTEN declared himself as being "lost in admiration" for Mr. Lamy's achievement and wished to offer his own encomium.
Direktivet omfatter ikke området forbrugerkredit.
He also applauded the efforts of former Commissioner Sir Leon Brittan.
På baggrund heraf har Simon MURPHY (PSE, UK) på vegne af Parlamentets Delegation til Forligsudvalget udarbejdet en betænkning, hvori det anbefales at godkende udkastet.
He stressed the importance of the programmes that were being established to help China to meet its obligations under the WTO system.
Det vurderes, at udkastet imødekommer alle Parlamentets væsentlige krav og ønsker.
He underlined that close coordination was essential to avoid overlaps.
Hovedpunkterne i udkastet er, at medlemsstaterne skal sikre, at forfaldsdagen for betaling af gæld ikke overskrider 30 dage efter fakturadatoen.
As to whether China's accession would be conditional on Parliament's consent, Mr. Patten stressed that the Treaties did not require the House to give its assent before China could accede.
Det skal være muligt at fastsætte kortere eller længere betalingsfrister i kontrakter eller i salgsbetingelser, men hvis intet andet er aftalt er de 30 dage gældende.
However, he promised that Parliament would be consulted throughout the process.
Verdenshandelsorganisationen lever ikke rigtigt op til sit navn, før Kina er blevet medlem, mente han.
The Week tobacco, while calling for the proposal to go further.
Det vurderes, at Kinas tiltrædelse af WTO indebærer en væsentlig udfordring for WTO og organisationens medlemsstater.
In particular he wanted the size of health warnings to be 40% of the packet size for general warnings and 50% for specific warnings.
Selv om tiltrædelsen ikke kræver en ændring af den juridiske ramme, kan der derfor argumenteres for, at Parlamentets godkendelse i dette til fælde er nødvendig.
He also wanted cigarette packets to include other indications of health dangers such as "smoking kills half a million people in the EU" or "85% of lung cancers are caused by smoking" or "if you smoke, you are killing yourself'.
På baggrund heraf er Rådet og Kommissionen blevet anmodet om at oplyse, om man vil forelægge resultatet af forhandlingerne om Kinas tiltrædelse af WTO til godkendelse i Parlamentet. lamentet.
At present, he complained, descriptions such as "low tar" were false and misleading.
Kommissæren henviste til, at aftalen om Kinas tiltrædelse af WTO er en væsentlig han delsaftale, der i henhold til de gældende regler ikke skal forelægges Parlamentet til god kendelse i form af en samstemmende udtalelse.
Nick CLEGG (ELDR, East Midlands) was one of many speakers to congratulate Commissioner Lamy on his achievement.
Han lovede imidlertid, at Parlamentet vil blive konsulteret og også få lejlighed til at udtale sig om aftalens indhold.
He warned however against "institutional territoriality". .
I den forbindelse anførte han, at den ansvarlige kommissær, Pascal LAMY, løbende har orienteret medlemmerne om forhandlingerne.
He noted that Trade and Industry ministers in a number of member states were unhappy at the prospect of the Commission extending its competence.
Denne dialog vil blive videreført under det kom mende forløb, fastslog Chris PATTEN.
There was a need for more transparency here, he said.
Samtidig anmodes Rådet og Kommissionen om at bekræfte, at man er i færd med at udarbejde en fælles EU/US-pakke for faglig bistand, således at Kina kan sættes i stand til at overholde sine fremtidige forpligtelser som medlem af WTO.
Mr Clegg also argued that €25m was insufficient for technical assistance programmes and that the EU needed to be more ambitious here.
Kommissæren vurderede, at de multilaterale forhandlinger med henblik på Kinas tiltrædelse af WTO vil blive påbegyndt i Genève i september.
Finally, he expressed the hope that human rights would stay at the top of the agenda.
Den fungerende rådsformand, den portugisiske statssekretær Francesco SEIXAS DA COSTA, understregede, at de bilaterale for handlinger mellem EU og Kina kun udgør en del af den multilaterale proces, der skal føre til Kinas tiltrædelse af WTO.
For the Legal Affairs Committee, Kurt LECHNER (EPP/ED, D), while appreciating the dangers of smoking, argued that there was no legal basis for the Commission proposal and that therefore it should be rejected.
Han lovede, at det slutdokument, som bliver resultatet af de multilaterale forhandlinger til sin tid vil blive forelagt Parlamentet til udtalelse.
A similar line was adopted by Werner LANGEN (EPP/ED, D) for the Industry Committee who argued that the proposed directive as presented by the Commission on the basis of Article 95, was incompatible with the Treaty.
EU vil især koordinere sin indsats med de amerikanske myndigheder, idet man specielt er opmærksom på behovet for at synliggøre den europæiske indsats.
He also welcomed the reduction in duty on spirits from 65 to 10 % which would help UK whisky exporters.
Rådsformanden fremhævede, at Kina har vist sit engagement og sin vilje til at leve op til sine multilaterale forpligtelser inden for rammerne af WTO.
He did, however, want to see faster opening up of the télécoms market and European Parliament participation in the dialogue on human rights.
Der er fra EU's side afsat en hjælpepakke på i alt 25 mio. euro, der bl.a. skal anvendes til gennemførelse af de nødvendige ændringer af den kinesiske lovgivning, herunder reglerne vedrørende intellektuel ejendomsret.
Caroline LUCAS (Greens/EFA, South East) on the other hand, was concerned about the impact on the 400 million small-scale farmers in rural China, who, she said, were likely to lose out as a result of an agreement which would benefit US grain exporters to the tune of $2bn over the next five years.

Ordfører : Alejo VIDAL-QUADRAS ROCA (PPEDE, E) Den nukleare fortidsbyrde efter FFC's aktiviteter Dok.: A5-0159/2000 Procedure : Andre Forhandling : 13.6.2000 Afstemning: 14.6.2000
Rapporteur : Jules MAATEN (ELDR, NL) Title : Manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products Doc: A5-0156/2000 Procedure : Co-decision, 1st reading Debate : Tuesday 13 June 2000 Vote : Wednesday 14 June 2000
Kommissionen har meddelt, at den agter at demontere Det Fælles Forskningscenters (FFC) forældede nukleare anlæg.
Maria MARTENS (NL), for the EPP/ED however argued that there was indeed an appropriate legal basis for the proposal.
Endelig ønsker udvalget at sikre sig, at med lemmerne af den komité af eksperter fra medlemsstaterne, som bistår FFC i dets opgaver, har den fornødne viden.
She also condemned the misleading labelling adopted by cigarette manufacturers and called for a short and powerful warning on packages.
Rådet tilslutter sig generelt behovet for en indsats med hensyn til at lukke forældede FFC-anlæg og forvaltning af affald fra driften af FFC-anlæg.
She also called for an approach that differentiated between cigarette smoking on the one hand or pipe and cigar smoking on the other hand.
Det støtter Kommissionens planer om at ud arbejde en omfattende plan på lang sigt for dette område og oprette en gruppe af uafhængige eksperter, som skal rådgive Kommissionen om planens udarbejdelse og gennem førelse.
Guido SACCONI (PSE, I) welcomed the amendments that would strengthen the Commission proposal and applauded the "flexible approach" of Mr Maaten.
Parlamentet godkendte betænkningen med enkelte ændringsforslag fra de politiske grupper.
He too believed that misleading phrases such as "light tar" should be avoided and wanted to see personalised warnings on packets.
Det blev ligeledes påpeget, at der endnu ikke findes en løsning på problemet med nukleart affald i de medlemsstater, hvor FFC's nukleare anlæg er beliggende.
He also stressed an amendment tabled by his group that would give the industry more time for restructuring.
Endelig noterer Rådet sig, at Kommissionen agter at finansiere disse aktiviteter med højst 25,4 mio. euro.
An anti smoking note was struck by Karl Erik OLSSON (ELDR, S) who welcomed Mr Maaten's report and emphasised the need to reduce tobacco consumption.
Ordfører : Patricia McKENNA (Verts/ALE, IRL) Utilsigtet eller forsætlig havforurening Dok.: A5-0148/2000 Procedure : Den fælles beslutningsprocedure
Didier ROD (Greens/EFA, F) also lamented the fact that 500.000 people in the EU died because tobacco related diseases - this was far more than other diseases such as AIDS, he said. As
I den forbindelse opfordres Kommissionen til at skabe en hensigtsmæssig struktur i FFC,
Opening the debate, Jules MAATEN (ELDR) welcomed the Commission's proposal to update existing internal market legislation on
Debatten stemmelser i tilfælde af utilsigtet havforurening. ning.
The Week a doctor, he noted, he had seen the damage caused by lung cancer.
Forurening af havet forårsager enorme og vidtomspændende ødelæggelser, sagde Torben LUND (Socialdemokratiet), der talte på vegne af PSE-gruppen. Han henviste til ødelagte kystområder, olieindsmurte fugle, fisk med bugen i vejret og endelig isbjørne, der har udviklet tvekønnethed på grund af forurening af stoffer med højt hormonindhold.
A different line was struck by Mihail PAPAYANNAKIS (EUL/NGL, GR) who argued that, although he supported many of Mr Marten's amendments, he believed that reducing subsidies to EU tobacco producers would only help third country manufacturers.
Torben LUND bemærkede, at forureningen kan ske som følge af uheld, uforsigtig adfærd eller ved bevidste handlinger fra mennesker eller virksomheder.
Nicole THOMAS-MAURO (UEN, F) believed that it was absurd to harmonise the warnings on the packets and that this matter should be left to member states.
Uanset hvordan skaderne er sket, så er følgerne for miljøet lige katastrofale og meget ofte grænseoverskridende, understregede han.
Jean-Claude MARTINEZ (IND F) went further and -while accepting that cigarettes were bad for health - condemned the "bureaucratic nightmare of labelling".
Endelig fremhæver Kommissionen, at bestemmelserne også skal dreje sig om forbedring af interventionsteknikker og metoder.
Jean SAINT-JOSSE (EDD, F) was unhappy with the "clumsy manoeuvre of the Commission" and was another speaker to warn of unemployment in the tobacco producing industry.
Han fremhævede navnlig forslaget om at medinddrage radioaktive stoffer samt forurening fra deponering af kasseret eller brugt ammunition.
issue, Mr John BOWIS (EPP/ED, London), however, felt that there was general consensus on the need to protect children from the dangers of smoking.
Han understregede princippet om at forureneren betaler. Endelig glædede han sig over, at nabostaterne får mulighed for at deltage i arbejdet såvel i Østersøen som i Middelhavet.
The best way to do this, he felt, was to make the taste as "foul" as possible, so as not to encourage those just starting.
Jeg håber på en hurtig ikrafttræden af dette forslag, sluttede han.
He felt the labelling issue was in fact marginal as far as deterring smokers was concerned.
Endelig opfordrede Parlamentet til under henvisning til princippet om, at forureneren betaler, at sikre, at det økonomiske ansvar gøres gældende, og til at sikre en fyldestgørende information af offentligheden.
What was more problematical, however, was the situation with relation to exports and on balance he felt it should not be for the EU to tell other countries how to regulate their tobacco industry.
Nedbrydning af ozonlaget tobaksvarer.
Otherwise he called for a halt to EU subsidies for tobacco growing in the Union.
Samtidig er det hensigten at ajourføre og supplere de pågældende bestemmelser på grundlag af nye videnskabelige kendsgerninger i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af det indre marked med udgangspunkt i et højt niveau for sundhedsbeskyttelse.
Glyn FORD (PES, South West) while too acknowledging the diversion of views both in the groups and across the House, expressed his support for the compromise emerging from the Environment Committee and the need to strengthen legislation, particularly by limiting the amount of nicotine.
Ordfører : Anneli HULTHÉN (PSE, S) Stoffer der nedbryder ozonlaget Dok.: A5-0161/2000 Procedure : Den fælles beslutningsprocedure (***IH) Forhandling : 13.6.2000 Afstemning: 13.6.2000
He hoped other countries outside the EU would follow the EU's example, otherwise there was a danger that imports into the EU would replace what was now being produced internally.
Med hensyn til cigaretter foreslås det, at tjæreindholdet skal reduceres til 10 mg pr. cigaret, at nikotinindholdet skal reduceres til 1 mg pr. cigaret, og at kulilteindholdet skal reduceres til 10 mg pr. cigaret, alt sammen inden 31. december 2003 (eller tre år fra vedtagelsen).
Recalling the painful experience of seeing his father die from lung cancer caused by smoking, Chris DAVIES (ELDR, North West) said if the same laws were applied with regard to drugs then tobacco manufacturers should be condemned for murderous activities.
Forligsudvalget er kommet til en konklusion om stoffer der nedbryder ozonlaget. Den største uenighed var om udfasningen af HCFC-gasser, der bruges i køleskabe og airconditionanlæg. onanlæg.
Nevertheless on balance he agreed with the consumers' right to choose, but this should be based on the full knowledge of the consequences, hence his proposed amendment to use graphic pictures on the packets.
I begyndelsen af forhandlingerne afviste Rådet at sætte en dato for udfasningen, men der er nu blevet indgået en aftale om HCFC-gasser, hvor nye gasser skal udfases i 2010, og gasser der genbruges skal udfases i 2015.
There was, he said, no doubt that manufacturers believed advertising worked and using this logic he favoured turning the tables on the producers with health promotion phrases on the packet - "the bigger, the better".
For så vidt angår tilsætningsstoffer fastsættes det, at alle tobaksfabrikanter og -importører i EU skal indsende en liste over alle de ingredienser, der ikke er tobak, herunder tilsætningsstoffer og mængden heraf, og som anvendes ved fremstillingen af deres tobaksvarer opdelt pr. handelsnavn.
As a former 40-a-day smoker, who had been told to quit on health grounds, Liz LYNNE (ELDR, West Midlands) recalled that when she started smoking there were no health warnings and, she added, it was important to realise that cigarette smoking not only caused cancer but aggravated other medical conditions such as bronchitis and asthma.
Fabrikanterne og importørerne skal samtidig godtgøre, at de pågældende ingredienser er uden risiko for forbrugernes sundhed, når de anvendes efter hensigten i deres tobaksvarer.
She too endorsed the tougher rules on advertising, including giving the consumer the right to know.
Med hensyn til mærkning af cigaretter foreslås det, at tjære- og nikotinindholdet fortsat skal angives, og at også kulilteindholdet skal anføres.
The challenge now was to combat the delaying tactics of the cigarette manufacturers opposed to the new legislation.
Forbrugerne får således bedre oplysning om tre vigtige skadelige bestanddele i cigaretter.
She was also concerned about the effects of passive smoking.
Ordfører : Jules MAATEN (ELDR, NL) Fremstilling, præsentation og salg af tobaksvarer Dok.: A5-0156/2000 Procedure : Den fælles beslutningsprocedure
Catherine STIHLER (PES, Scotland) argued strongly that the proposed directive must pass into law as, she stressed, it would save lives.
Desuden foreslås det, at alle tobaksvarepakninger skal være forsynet med en generel ad varsel, enten "Rygning dræber" eller "Rygning kan dræbe".
Low tar cigarettes were not like low fat yoghurt, she said, and smokers of this type of cigarette inhaled more deeply to get the same effect.
Denne advarsel skal dække mindst 25% af den pågældende flade af tobakspakningen, som den er påtrykt.
A different note was struck by Philip BUSHILL-MATTHEWS (EPP/ED, West Midlands) who argued that a ban on the
