Can the Commission confirm or refute the news that it is drawing up a draft regulatory act aimed at setting limits on the use of biofuels produced from crops for human consumption. Does the Commission intend to present a draft amendment to the relevant legislation? Adding bioethanol to fossil fuels is supposed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in Europe.

However, this means using larger areas of land to grow cereals for biofuel production. In countries such as Indonesia large areas of tropical rainforests are being cleared for biofuel production. There are claims in the press that the Commission has produced an internal report stating that biofuels are more harmful for climate change than conventional fuels. Can the Commission confirm that there is an internal report stating that biofuels are more harmful for climate change than conventional fuels?

In view of the disastrous impact on people and the environment in developing and emerging countries, does the Commission intend to discourage widespread biofuel use? Should the Commission continue to support the use of ethanol in fuels despite the negative impact on people, climate and the environment, what strategies does it have to prevent the clearing of rainforests and more widespread starvation? The Commission believes that biofuels need to deliver robust greenhouse gas emissions savings in order to fulfil their role as a leading technology in decarbonising the transport sector as foreseen in the low-carbon economy roadmap and the energy roadmap Indirect land-use change emissions are a concern in this regard and we therefore need to find a robust solution which provides for a reasonably lasting, reliable policy framework that ensures the sustainability of the biofuels we use.

The Commission has recently adopted a legislative proposal for reducing indirect land-use change emissions. Could the Commission clarify whether an EU ban on the use and production of oriental tobacco is currently considered as one of the provisions in its future proposal to revise the Tobacco Products Directive? In the view of the Commission, would a ban on plant production and cultivation fall within the scope of its future proposal to revise the Tobacco Products Directive? In recent weeks, the issue has again been widely aired in the media and political circles in Bulgaria.

Nonetheless, Bulgarian tobacco producers remain anxious. Is a ban on the use of oriental tobacco as an ingredient in fact envisaged as part of the revision of the Tobacco Products Directive? In the event that such a ban is envisaged, does the Commission consider that producers of oriental tobacco should be compensated and how could such compensation be arranged? The Commission is aware of the media reports in Bulgaria relating to the upcoming revision of the Tobacco Products Directive. The Commission is preparing the impact assessment preceding any legislative proposal.

The purpose of this impact assessment is to identify the economic, social including employment and environmental impacts of any new measure on all potential stakeholders concerned. The concerns put forward by tobacco growers that certain measures could discriminate against certain types of tobacco as some additives are essential for restoring the palatability of American blended tobacco, were carefully considered in this respect.

As regards the killing of dolphins in Japan, the Commission cannot identify any international agreements where sanctions could be brought to bear. At international level, whales are protected by the International Whaling Commission IWC but, to date, there has been no agreement about the IWC's competence for small cetaceans such as dolphins. As for the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals CMS or Bonn Convention , which establishes a framework for international cooperation in view of the conservation of several cetacean species, it does not apply to Japan, which is not a Party to this Convention.

The Burmese Government has also restricted humanitarian access to the Rohingya community. What action, if any, has been taken at UN level? Have EU diplomats applied to travel to the affected areas, including areas where displaced persons have gone? The EU is in regular contact with the Government of Myanmar on the issue. The EU also provides humanitarian and other aid. The Government has invited the international community to visit the area and to contribute to longer term solutions in an open dialogue. They also have a far from negligible effect on jobs in those sectors, especially when a whole range of economic activities cease as a result.

Very often, local authorities do not have the resources to address this issue, with their priority being to save lives. Risk prevention, including flood prevention, is at the forefront of the European risk management policy. This element is one of the building blocks of the Commission proposal for a new Civil Protection Mechanism, currently discussed in Council and Parliament which emphasises the need for Member States to develop risk management planning instruments.

Member States need to prepare flood hazard and risk maps for areas with potential significant flood risk by and flood risk management plans by These plans shall set the objectives for flood risk reduction, and shall include measures to achieve these objectives. Preparation of the plans shall be carried out in consultation with interested parties, such as private actors, local authorities and the public.

Plans should include a prioritisation of investments and implementation arrangements, including governance and sources of financing. It is a matter for decision at river basin level whether to involve private actors in the co-financing and maintenance of flood protection infrastructure. For rural development policy, the post Commission's proposals set out a range of measures relevant to the issues described by the Honourable Member. These measures would offer support for: Through the past three decades of turmoil, women in Afghanistan have struggled to gain freedoms and to reform a patriarchal society.

With the help of the international community, including the European Union, the situation for women has begun to improve. A prime example of the changing culture is the Sarco Abad factory, a garment manufacturing firm in Kabul. All of the employees at Sarco Abad are women, and in addition to employment, workers are provided with training, healthcare, lunches, transportation and child daycare. Organisations such as Sarco Abad, which empower Afghan women, are vital for attempts to maintain peace and transform the patriarchal culture. However, without external assistance in getting contracts and funding from abroad, companies like Sarco Abad struggle to stay afloat.

When the international community begins to reduce its presence in Afghanistan, many of these local businesses will collapse. What steps is the Commission taking to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women in Afghanistan? Although Afghanistan has made considerable progress in advancing the rights of women since , much remains to be done. EU assistance programmes continue to focus on governance, including reform of the justice sector and its institutions, which are indispensable to upholding the rights of women.

The EU believes that the private sector has an important role to play in supporting Afghanistan's development. The Commission's support to the private sector is geared to the development of a better investment climate. Support to the justice sector also aims at complementing these interventions by helping to support areas such as contract enforcement which are vital for investor confidence. The Commission does not, in general, grant direct financial assistance to individual private companies in Afghanistan.

What is the amount owed by the State and the municipalities relating to outstanding invoices to EYDAP, the amount in outstanding subsidies and the amount of commitments for capital expenditure on the water and sewerage system? The Commission Eurostat does not collect data on payables to individual corporations. Both Directives provide that a procedure in the form of an enforceable title be available to the creditor for recovery of uncontested debts if the creditor takes legal action against the debtor.

It also estimated that primary expenditure in would be —5. What are the results to date of the implementation of the updated budget in respect of both revenue and primary expenditure? What are the Commission's estimates for revenue and primary expenditure up to the end of ? Revenues, notably indirect taxes, have been affected by the impact of the deepening recession. The political vacuum amid two elections led to delays in collecting income and property taxes.

As a result, the government set up an instalment scheme in late July to allow phasing of personal income tax falling due from tax declarations. The government has curtailed discretionary spending in light of tight liquidity situation and weak revenue collection. State primary cash expenditures, in particular operational spending and public investment budget, are under-executed by a significant margin.

Wages and pensions have been lower than budgeted thanks to larger impact of the new wage grid and higher number of retirees. Compared to , revenues are projected to fall less than primary expenditures compared with The current economic recession is expected to continue in with real GDP expected by the Commission to contract by 4. This will have a further negative impact on revenues from social security contributions. Over the same period, employment declined by 8. The unemployment rate among young persons aged and women rose to Did it expect the huge recession caused by the measures imposed on the Greek economy through the successive memoranda?

How can it explain the fact that while wages and incomes have fallen in an attempt to achieve internal devaluation, Greece is not only unable to attract foreign investment, it is seeing existing businesses constantly closing because of the massive recession and a lack of domestic demand? Is any new funding available to tackle unemployment? The fiscal adjustment process is necessary to return Greek public finances onto a sustainable trajectory. The correction of labour costs plays a crucial role in restoring Greek international competitiveness and attracting investment.

On this front, the Greek economy has made encouraging progress. Labour costs are falling strongly and this is putting downward pressure on price inflation. Eurostat figures for September confirm that Greece had the lowest inflation in the eurozone, at just 0. This may be starting to be reflected in balance of payments data. Exports of goods in current prices grew by 9.

Exports of goods excluding oil and ships rose by 6. The current account deficit excluding oil and general government interest payments, decreased from a peak of 7. The success of the fiscal adjustment programme hinges on important structural reforms. These will revitalize in the mid-term the Greek labour market, improving job prospects for young people and women in particular. Given that currently UK lorries must pay fees for using roads in other Member States, this will go some way to making competition in Europe fairer.

There are still large disparities in charges across Europe, with no common standard. The Commission has made clear its commitment to fair competition and market across Europe, and yet the unequal road charges across Europe are damaging the UK haulage industry. What is the Commission doing to ensure common rules and regulations with regard to road taxes and charges across Member States, so that haulage companies from all Member States can compete fairly?

However, the small degree of harmonisation provided for in the directive has resulted in a patchwork of different user charges or tolling schemes being introduced across the Union. The leaflets are produced by manufacturing companies, but there is no monitoring body as there is for PILs accompanying medicines, where in Sweden the monitoring body is the Medical Products Agency. The goal of information logistics is to deliver the right information, in the right format, at the right place and at the right time to the right person.

However, a Swedish scientific study has shown that providing information in the form of PILs for one-way dialysis products does not work in accordance with this goal, nor does it comply with the provisions and requirements of the law. Such information should also, unlike the situation at present, be monitored and approved by a competent authority. Such manuals PILs providing clear information on dialysis equipment should be made available on the websites of the firms and of the competent authority and should thus also contribute to reducing waste paper, at least in those Member States where computers are an integral part of everyday work in the healthcare sector.

The content of the label and IFU is already monitored. The Commission is aware of incidents with infusion pumps for dialysis. Member States exchanged information on measures needed to minimise the risk of recurrence. While Member States are responsible for the adoption of corrective action on their territory, this exchange of information facilitates a common approach. The revision will reinforce coordination between Member States where similar incidents with the same device occur or where corrective action is taken in more than one Member State.

A tale progetto si affianca un altro importante strumento, il Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide BMDW , un vero e proprio database mondiale che raccoglie tutti i registri di donatori di midollo osseo nel mondo. Numerose sono, inoltre, le relazioni approvate con voto favorevole dal Parlamento europeo che esortano ad azioni concrete nell'ambito della donazione.

La Commissione riconosce l'importanza di fornire informazioni esatte e obiettive alla popolazione in generale, compresi i futuri genitori, sui vantaggi e i limiti dell'uso di cellule derivate dal sangue del cordone ombelicale. Spetta agli Stati membri fornire tali informazioni. A tale riguardo, si indicano due progetti finanziati nell'ambito del programma per la salute: In some Member States there is a lack of bone marrow and difficulty in finding suitable donors of cells and tissues that match patients, mainly due to a lack of cooperation in the field of cross-border donation.

Another worrying aspect of cell donation is the expansion of the black market in human sperm and eggs; many Internet sites, in fact, enable gametes to be bought or sold online. Moreover, there is still little awareness of the issue of donation: Its aim is to create a common register, shared by old and new Member States, for the collection of data on the donation of cells, tissues and organs and on transplants. Another important tool, the Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide BMDW — a genuine global database that brings together all the bone marrow donation registers in the world — is also being used alongside this project.

Furthermore, Parliament has, on numerous occasions, adopted reports calling for specific action on donation. Although healthcare is largely the responsibility of the Member States, given that improving public health in the Member States is one of the EU's objectives, will the Commission take action to raise awareness among European citizens on the subject of donation, aimed at expectant mothers in particular?

The Commission acknowledges that it is important to provide accurate and objective information to the general population, including parents-to-be, about the advantages and limitations in the use of cells derived from the umbilical cord blood. Providing such information is the competence of the Member States. The Commission is also supporting Member States in their efforts to foster collaboration and improve cross-border exchange of tissues and cells, and to fight against illegal and fraudulent activities in this field.

In this regard, two projects funded under the Health Programme can be mentioned: The results will be available in There is therefore no intention, in that notice, to cover lead in shots. Chiarimenti sull'appello per un'Europa capace dal punto di vista militare nel discorso sullo stato dell'Unione Durante il discorso sullo stato dell'Unione dinanzi al Parlamento europeo, il presidente della Commissione Barroso ha chiesto un rafforzamento della politica estera e di sicurezza comune dell'Unione europea PESC e un approccio comune nei confronti delle questioni di difesa.

La visione della Commissione per la programmazione collettiva comprende una forza militare congiunta dell'UE? La pianificazione comune della difesa sarebbe un passo importante in questa direzione: What shape does it see the review taking, and will there be a period of prior consultation with the Member States? What connection is envisaged between a more integrated defence approach and the European External Action Service? President Barroso in his State of the Union Speech presented a political vision for the future of the European Union, focusing in particular on the deepening of the Economic and Monetary Union, but also on the more political aspects of the European integration process.

A stronger Union capable of promoting its values and defending its interests on the world stage also requires a deepening of the integration in the European Common Security and Defence Policy. The deployment of civilian and military missions in support of, and complementing, our foreign policy positions and actions is essential for the credibility and increased effectiveness of the European Union as an international actor.

Common defence planning would be a key step in this direction. It would not only address European capability shortfalls and enhance operational effectiveness, but it would also give Member States the possibility of making additional savings in the current context of economic difficulty.

The institutional competence to implement and develop further this agenda lies primarily with the High Representative, assisted by the European External Action Service, in coordination with Member States, but the Commission stands ready to make its contribution within the mandate of its competences. Nesso tra emissioni di carbonio e aumento dei casi di febbre da fieno in Europa — ricerca su un nuovo vaccino. In tutta l'UE si registra un aumento dei casi di febbre da fieno e di altre allergie. In caso di esito positivo dei test, il vaccino potrebbe rappresentare per i cittadini dell'UE un'alternativa agli antistaminici o alla cura con steroidi.

I settori interessati comprendono gli studi di base, la prevenzione, la diagnosi e gli approcci terapeutici, inclusi i vaccini. The increasing length of pollen seasons in Europe is additionally linked to the introduction of plants and trees from other continents. The researchers have developed a vaccine in the form of a shallow injection into a part of the skin packed with white blood cells, giving faster access to the immune system.

If the trials are successful, this vaccine could offer EU citizens an alternative to antihistamine or steroid treatment. If so, how is it working to reduce CO 2 emissions in EU cities? Is it investigating what trees should not be planted in future in those cities, given the rise of hay fever in the Member States? The Commission is aware of the two studies mentioned by the Honourable Member and follows scientific advances in this area.

Areas addressed comprise basic studies, prevention, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches including vaccines. Il piano di impegno quinquennale UE-Pakistan del marzo afferma che l'Unione europea e il Pakistan sono d'accordo per costruire e ampliare la cooperazione odierna sul dialogo sui diritti umani e la ratifica e l'efficace applicazione delle convenzioni internazionali in questo campo.

Alla luce di questo episodio di persecuzione religiosa e tenendo conto del piano di impegno quinquennale. Il Pakistan ha ratificato tutte le principali convenzioni in materia di diritti umani. Nel settembre , in seguito a pressioni esercitate, fra l'altro, dall'Unione europea, il paese ha eliminato la maggior parte delle riserve formulate nel giugno al momento di ratificare il Patto internazionale relativo ai diritti civili e politici ICCPR e la Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite contro la tortura CAT , che impongono al paese obblighi giuridicamente vincolanti.

A group of Pakistani Hindus from Sindh province who recently arrived in India on pilgrimage visas have refused to return to Pakistan for fear of religious persecution. The arrival of this group of Hindus in India is not an isolated incident. The administration of the Indian state of Rajasthan is used to receiving Hindus from Pakistan, and recently announced that Indian citizenship would be granted to those who have already spent seven years in India. This latest group of Hindus felt insecure in Pakistan and faced discrimination, which some say has increased along with Islamic extremism in the area.

An example of the discrimination faced by them is the denial of a place of burial for a recently deceased Hindu father. In light of this incident of religious persecution, and having regard to the 5-year Engagement Plan:. Can it comment on any progress towards the ratification and effective implementation of the related international conventions? The EU follows closely the situation of religious minorities in Pakistan. We are well aware of the vulnerable situation of Hindus and persons belonging to other religious minorities in Pakistan, such as Shias, Ahmadis, Christians and others.

Pakistan has ratified all major human rights conventions. These create binding legal obligations for Pakistan.

A focus in forthcoming EU-Pakistan political dialogues will be on the importance of effectively implementing the international conventions. Tourism is one of the mainstays of economic and social life, and Romania is endowed with an especially varied, diversified and concentrated tourism potential characterised by:. The integration of Romanian tourism into the European tourism circuit forms part of the broader process of the overall integration of Romania into a European framework. In order to support and promote initiatives on sustainable tourism development and cultural tourism, the Commission launches annually calls for proposals for cross-border cooperation projects.

Moreover, in order to further support the sustainable development of tourism destinations, the Commission intends to propose, at the beginning of , a system of indicators for the sustainable management of tourism destinations. This system will be made available to all European destinations. In fact, Romanian public administrations and private stakeholders are already well integrated in European tourism activities and are actively participating in a number of EU projects such as for example: Moreover, Romanian organisations and companies have applied for EU's co-financing in various calls for proposals.

Harmonisierung von Tierhaltungsstandards in den Mitgliedstaaten. Vorschriften zum Tierschutz und zur Tierhaltung sind, abgesehen von Regelungen zur Nutztierhaltung, in den Mitgliedstaaten der EU nicht harmonisiert. Dies ist insbesondere in Grenzregionen kritisch. Wie und wann gedenkt die Kommission einen Vorschlag zur Harmonisierung der Standards beim Tierschutz in Bezug auf Tiere vorzulegen, die nicht landwirtschaftlich genutzt werden? Except in the case of livestock farming, the rules on animal protection and animal husbandry have not been harmonised in EU Member States. This is a critical flaw, especially in border regions, because persons or holdings banned from keeping animals by the national authorities of one Member State can avoid the ban simply by moving to a neighbouring Member State.

How and when does the Commission intend to present a proposal to harmonise standards of animal welfare in relation to animals that are not used in farming? Will the Commission proposal for a revision of the Tobacco Products Directive take up the abovementioned demand made by the European Parliament? If so, in what form? If not, why not? If manufacturer responsibility does not form part of the new proposal expected in November, will it be introduced in another context e.

According to this opinion, the methods that are used at present to kill seabass and seabream under commercial conditions are: EFSA concluded that all three methods involve a prolonged period of consciousness of several minutes during which indications of poor welfare practices are apparent.

This assessment will also take into account the practical feasibility of the EFSA opinions in terms of availability of alternative killing methods, workers safety, food safety and quality, particular difficulties for SMEs. Il Programma di sviluppo rurale per la Sicilia, cofinanziato dal Fondo europeo agricolo per lo sviluppo rurale, prevede uno stanziamento di 10 milioni di EUR per ripristinare il potenziale di produzione agricola danneggiato da catastrofi naturali.

Given that this natural disaster has severely affected both public and private infrastructure and has crippled productive sectors, particularly the farming sector, tourism and small and medium-sized enterprises, can the Commission answer the following questions:. Is the Commission aware of the significant landslides that Italy often suffers due to the seasonal waves of bad weather? However, the Italian authorities have not provided to the Commission any detailed information nor requested assistance regarding the event on the island of Lipari.

In line with the shared management principle used for the administration of cohesion policy, project selection and implementation is the responsibility of the national authorities. The Commission therefore suggests that the Honourable Member contact directly the managing authorities of the two programmes:. The three people who had applied the legislation in effect in Romania when passing the judgment on the return in have been sentenced in first instance to imprisonment. The case of the renationalisation of the college is not primarily an issue affecting the rights of a national minority and therefore is not a matter of national competence.

The decision calls into question the faith placed in Romania in the legislation and court decisions and may create a precedent for the renationalisation of church property. This aspect of the decision contravenes the pledges made by Romania prior to its accession in and its commitments made under the Copenhagen Criteria and the chapter on justice as well as during the accession negotiations.

The Commission should therefore examine this matter from the standpoint of overall legal certainty. What further action does the Commission plan to take in order to make Romania accountable for its commitments made prior to accession? The EU and the Commission do not have powers with regard to the restitution of property which, in principle, falls under national competence. This Article implies that Member States are free to determine the scope of property restitution and the choice of the conditions and institutional modalities under which they agree to restore the property rights of former owners.

The Commission regularly verifies progress against four benchmarks set for this purpose and has published reports twice a year since The report includes a number of urgent recommendations, which have already been the subject of commitments made by Prime Minister Ponta. The Commission will issue a further report under the cooperation and verification mechanism before the end of the year to assess whether its concerns have been addressed and democratic checks and balances have been restored.

En dicho informe el Sr. En referencia a los mecanismos de toma de decisiones se remarca textualmente: The need to move towards an integrated budgetary framework complete with effective mechanisms to correct unsustainable fiscal policies in each Member State was one of the points made in this vision for the future.

Upper limits on the annual budget balance and on the government debt levels could be agreed. The report also proposed creating a fiscal body at euro area level and pointed to the need for coordination in fiscal matters. Referring to decision-making mechanisms, the report stated and I quote: However, it should be pointed out that there are already subnational bodies within the European Union which have powers over fiscal and budgetary policy. Has the President of the European Council given thought to the existence within the Union of subnational bodies with fiscal and budgetary policy powers, for instance the Basque Autonomous Community and the Autonomous Community of Navarra, and how these bodies could be connected to the system envisaged?

Has the President of the European Council considered whether it would be possible to set up mechanisms to allow the legislative bodies of subnational bodies endowed with authority and powers over fiscal and budgetary policy — e. The President of the European Council does not intervene in the internal distribution of competences within the Member States of the European Union.

September ihren Bericht vorgelegt. A study commissioned by the Commission comes to the conclusion that one in five EU citizens cannot read and write sufficiently to cope in their daily lives. Experts are proposing a series of measures, including special assistance for children with foreign roots. Many immigrants come from countries in which the education system is not very well developed. Was the country of origin taken into account in this study? If so, what are the study's conclusions in respect of this specific population group? If not, why not, given that the experts' proposal — that special assistance should be given to children with foreign roots — suggests that this population group is particularly affected by this problem?

Page 48 of the report refers to the issue of migrant literacy. While stating that migrant students have on average lower reading levels in PISA than native students in all countries but Hungary, it highlights the large diversity of background and educational level of migrants, in particular migrant adults. Ensure that all newly-arrived migrants, both adults and children, have access to language and literacy screening.

Provide individualised support to migrant learners on the basis of this screening. Flexible arrangements are required for newly arrived migrants, particularly with regard to language learning. In this respect, there is a need not only for rapid and targeted intervention shortly after arrival in the host country, but also for sustained programmes of language support. Treat bilingualism as an asset for further language development, encouraging language maintenance and pride for all linguistic minorities.

The Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations is continuing in the World Trade Organisation WTO with active discussions taking place on several areas of the Doha mandate. In this spirit, discussions have been undertaken since the beginning of through a bottom-up process in all areas where progress could be made. At this stage, active work is being undertaken on Trade Facilitation, the review of the Dispute Settlement Understanding and on Special and Differential Treatment-related issues.

The Commission expects that further work on all areas of the Doha mandate will continue over the coming years. Since the mandatory breathalysers in France only comply with the rules if they meet French standards, are there no grounds for believing that this rule may be in breach of European legislation? The Commission draws the attention of the Honourable Member to the fact that, in the absence of Union legislation on the carriage of safety equipment on board motor vehicles, Member States are free to adopt national legislation, provided that the provisions of the Treaty, including the principles of non-discrimination and proportionality, are respected.

In order to determine whether this obligation is compatible with the Treaty, the Commission has contacted the French authorities to obtain further details. As regards the concerns of the Honourable Member in relation to the technical standards applicable to breathalysers, the Commission is currently examining the compatibility of the measures with the principle of free movement of goods. The EU missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah have continued their active monitoring of developments in the Silwan neighbourhood in East Jerusalem, where an increasing number of Palestinians are at risk of displacement.

The issue is also discussed in meetings among EU Member States, and concerns are raised bilaterally with Israeli authorities. The EU Representative Office has coordinated EU presence in Silwan in connection to demolitions of structures and to major events organised by residents of neighbourhood. It provides information, legal assistance and counselling to displaced persons, or persons at risk of displacement. The persistence of such a legal system could help strengthen some negative trends that have already been seen in recent years in the seed market, such as increasing the concentration of patents in the hands of just a few large companies, resulting in decreased competition and a loss of biodiversity.

The Commission is aware that some traditional varieties do not fulfil the examination criteria for variety registration. Therefore, the Commission adopted in less stringent requirements for the marketing of the so-called conservation and amateur varieties. The review acknowledges the room for improving the legislation as regards these varieties. Eenzijdige korting zuivelleveranciers, schending EU-Verdrag. Gaat de Commissie onderzoek doen naar het afgestemd onder druk zetten van zuivelleveranciers, specifiek in dit geval?

Hoe beziet de Commissie het feit dat melkveehouders en zuivelleveranciers door supermarktketens worden gedwongen om voor of zelfs onder de productieprijs te leveren?

Gaat de Commissie actief onderzoeken of deze artikelen inderdaad worden geschonden? Voorts hebben klachten tegen praktijken van retaildistributeurs tegenover hun leveranciers geleid tot monitoringinitiatieven van een aantal nationale mededingingsautoriteiten. Om de positie van boeren bij onderhandelingen met zuivelfabrikanten te versterken, geeft Verordening EU nr.

Voorts volgen de nationale mededingingsautoriteiten de marktsituatie voor de levering van zuivelproducent door boeren van nabij. Does the Commission intend to investigate the coordinated pressurising of dairy suppliers, with particular reference to this case? Is the Commission aware that the Albert Heijn supermarket chain is also planning cross-border activities? To what extent do these cross-border activities in combination with the unilaterally imposed price cuts reinforce the distortion of the internal market?

How does the Commission view the fact that supermarket chains are forcing dairy farmers and producers to supply their products at or even below the cost of production? Will the Commission actively investigate whether these articles have indeed been contravened? In addition, the NCAs are following the situation on the market for the supply of dairy products by farmers. Given the rules on the division of competences between the Commission and the NCAs, the latter in this case, the Dutch competition authority may often be better placed than the Commission to investigate and where appropriate sanction potential anti-competitive practices.

As shown in the ECN Report, several investigations in the sector concerned buyer cartels for purchases of raw milk, e.

The Spanish NCA is currently investigating possible anti-competitive practices by the dairy industry such as imposing negative commercial conditions in the market for the supply of raw cow's milk. Jedoch verpflichtet die neue Verordnung EU Nr. Millions of consumers in Europe wish to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet and to eliminate animal ingredients or products in their food in any shape or form.

Other people avoid certain types of animal for religious reasons or only wish to support certain forms of animal husbandry through the products they buy. Their freedom of choice is, however, severely restricted: What action will it take to allow European citizens the freedom of choice to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet? In particular, the name of the food and the list of ingredients, together with other mandatory indications allow them to know the nature and the characteristics of foods.

The regulation does not specify however, by when such a measure should be adopted. The abovementioned legislation imposes also obligations on the Commission for which firm deadlines had been specified. The Commission will tackle these actions as a priority.

Therefore, the concern raised by the Honourable Member as well as the implementing acts related to it, will be tackled by the Commission subsequently. Greece is a country with hundreds of inhabited islands whose residents need to be provided with sufficient water supplies. In many cases, water is transported from mainland Greece by tanker: Member States have the obligation to report to the Commission all individual supplies of water exceeding c. The responsibility for compliance with the drinking water standards as well as water supply and allocation falls to the Member States.

The Commission is currently processing the data received from the Member States in relation to the Drinking Water Directive under the last reporting exercise and may find information on the drinking water quality situation on the island of Spetses by the end of its assessment. The Commission and the European Parliament have expressed the view that an immediate and thorough review of this agreement is needed. The agreed text provides for an early warning, preparedness and crisis management mechanism, which should allow for early detection of problems linked to large-scale arrivals of asylum-seekers in a Member State.

I rilievi effettuati hanno fatto riscontrare, ad un primo esame, tracce di amianto in alcuni dei campioni esaminati. Per tale motivo sono necessari adeguati controlli sulle rocce utilizzate e sulle pratiche necessarie per mantenerne intatta la consistenza. L'immissione sul mercato e l'uso di minerali presenti in natura e contenenti amianto, come ad esempio il serpentino, non sono vietati nell'UE in quanto le fibre non vi sono state intenzionalmente aggiunte.

Spetta agli Stati membri fare rispettare tali misure al fine di assicurare l'uso e la gestione sicuri dei materiali contenenti fibre di amianto. A number of citizens, concerned about the colour of certain rock veins and dust emitted from rocks which had accumulated during the course of maintenance work along a section of railway line, decided to submit a complaint to the authorities to report the danger posed by the presence of asbestos in the rocks in question. The initial tests carried out showed traces of asbestos in some of the samples tested.

The technicians therefore took samples from a pile of hundreds of cubic metres of railway gravel suspected of containing hazardous asbestos and took the necessary safety precautions to protect the public. Pending confirmation of the presence of this mineral, which will take place in the next few days at a specialist asbestos research laboratory, the rocks have been appropriately encapsulated in order to prevent any release of asbestos fibres into the air. The railway track ballast, consisting of crushed stone, derives from the crushing of so-called serpentinite rocks, which are found in the Alps and Apennines; these serpentinite rocks contain thin veins of two types of fibres — chrysotile and tremolite — which, when released into the air, can be highly toxic.

That is why appropriate checks are needed on the rocks used and the practices necessary to keep them intact. In Italy, many railway tracks could be affected and several emergency situations have led to reports being issued on the hazards of the material used for this specific purpose. The higher the dispersal of fibres resulting from the disintegration and deterioration of the asbestos-containing material, the higher the hazard level.

The risks of asbestos exposure are all too often either emphasised or downplayed, but rarely analysed to their full extent, and the so-called serpentinite rocks containing asbestos fibres are naturally present in many parts of the Western Alps. In particular, large amounts of asbestos fibres are contained in the serpentinite rocks of quarries and in the crushed stone of railway ballast, as well as in the ground after natural landslides. Given the above, and the fact that the risk of these fibres being dispersed into the soil and the environment increases as a result of the digging or excavation of rocks and land on construction sites or during agricultural work, can the Commission answer the following questions:.

Is it aware of the danger caused by the presence of asbestos in railway ballast and will it finance the relevant projects and scientific studies that prove the environmental, psychological and physical damage caused by the asbestos contained in serpentinite rocks? Will it take preventive and safety measures to prevent these fibres from being dispersed into the environment? The Commission is aware of the presence of asbestos in certain minerals and that in some cases those minerals have been employed in railway ballast. The Commission invited the Petitioner to raise this problem with the Italian Authorities responsible for the enforcement of the relevant legislation and in particular with the Labour Inspections Services.

Articles which contain asbestos as an impurity fall outside the scope of the restriction under REACH. It is the responsibility of the Member States to enforce these measures in order to ensure the safe use and management of materials containing asbestos fibres. Seed propagation companies received subsidies up till This was to encourage the use of certified seed through the rural development programme.

The subsidy was intended to lower the end cost to the farmer of the seed and also to encourage the use of certified see and thus boost product quality. This system changed at the start of Subsidies are now granted irrespective of the quality of the seed produced. Does the Commission not think that decoupling the system from production might prove detrimental to the quality of rice seed produced?

Does the Commission not think that it would be better to grant subsidies to those who genuinely produce seed that is certified and sold? The reform of the common agricultural policy CAP has introduced the single payment scheme SPS with the aim to foster market orientation of the agricultural sector.

As the SPS payments are decoupled from agricultural production, farmers, including seed producers, are free to produce whatever is more profitable while still having a stable income. In Member States where full decoupling of coupled payments for seed took place in , farmers in seed sectors were given time to adjust to the new support arrangements given the fact that this was agreed under the so-called Health-check in In the context of the CAP reform, the general orientation remains towards decoupling.

Moreover, supporting the production of certified seed could be envisaged in the framework of voluntary coupled support. Seed is in the list of eligible sectors and Member States will have the responsibility for defining eligibility criteria. Has it considered the unintended consequences of such a proposal, with European grain prices at a very high level and with arguably a more immediate need to set aside the stocks concerned for food production? It is therefore, in the Commission's view, not likely that the proposal will lead to increased use of first generation biofuels. The EU quickly reacted to escalating tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan through public diplomacy and other diplomatic means.

The EU has been supportive of reconciliation activities and stands ready to provide further support to initiatives aimed at the building of trust across the lines of conflict. Has the Commission considered plans along these lines to help alleviate the growing problem of hate crimes in Greece, as identified by Human Rights Watch? The Commission strongly condemns all forms and manifestations of racism and xenophobia, including violence against migrants and asylum-seekers. The Commission is closely monitoring the transposition and implementation of this framework Decision and will deliver a report to this end in So far Greece has not notified its national implementing measures.

The Commission acknowledges that the growing demand for agricultural products, in combination with climate change and other pressures on natural resources poses a serious challenge for EU agriculture. Addressing these challenges requires intelligent and innovative solutions with regard to agriculture, rural areas and the CAP. The Commission proposals for the CAP post have been elaborated in this spirit, with a strong focus on economic, environmental and social sustainability of EU agriculture.

According to reports from the European Union Monitoring Mission EUMM , active on Georgian territory since the war between Georgia and Russia in , the Mission has had no access to the Russian side of the occupation line, despite an agreement with Moscow that this would be the case. Furthermore, it has been suggested that Russian officials have ceased all communication with the EUMM.

In addition, the White Paper highlights the positive effects of investment in transport infrastructure on economic growth and job creation. The Commission is preparing to review in the Community guidelines on funding of airports and start-up state aid to airlines flying from regional airports. According to early indications from the Commission, the review will lead to the establishment of more rigorous rules on public funding for regional airports.

The new rules could lead to the closure of dozens of regional airports throughout Europe, with extremely damaging consequences for the economy, employment and regional development of the regions concerned. Given the difficulties of expanding airport infrastructure in the Member States, how does the Commission intend to reconcile the potential closure of numerous airports with the infrastructure requirements at European level? In its review of the guidelines on state aid to airports and airlines, the Commission will take into consideration the need to ensure the accessibility of certain regions and the importance of regional airports for local development.

Within this perspective, certain regional airports can help towards overcoming the problem of a shortage of capacity at some major airports. It is also important to avoid a multiplication of unprofitable airports such as would lead to a waste of public resources. Perpetrarsi della pratica di mutilazione a fini estetici degli animali da compagnia.

L'attuazione della convenzione europea per la protezione degli animali di compagnia compete agli Stati membri dell'UE. Non essendovi nessuno strumento legislativo dell'UE relativo alla mutilazione a fini estetici degli animali da compagnia, la questione rimane di competenza degli Stati membri.

Following numerous reports on the matter, can the Commission say why, in some Member States, including Italy, the practice of mutilating the tails and ears of pets is continuing, especially on hunting dogs? As there is no EU legislation as such on the mutilation of animals for aesthetic purposes, the matter remains under the competence of Member States. La fondazione ha affermato che se egli fosse stato ucciso per blasfemia, il film anti-islamico che negli ultimi giorni ha scatenato le proteste a livello internazionale non sarebbe mai stato realizzato.

Le minacce e l'istigazione alla violenza sono incompatibili con i principi internazionali sui diritti umani che l'Iran ha sottoscritto liberamente. The foundation has asserted that, if he had been killed for blasphemy, the anti-Islamic film which has sparked international protests in recent days would never have been made. Because of the fatwa, the writer was forced to spend a decade in hiding.

Rushdie was accused of being an apostate whose murder was authorised under Islam. These threats are unacceptable, and represent one of the numerous examples of systematic oppression of the freedom of expression in Iran, which affects writers both within and outside its borders. Threats and inticement to violent actions are incompatible with the international human rights principles that Iran has freely signed up to.

Science, Technology and Industry Outlook , Greece is performing very poorly and ranks well below the average. Spending public and private on research and development in Greece are at 0. At the same time, on the basis of quality criteria of this research, the research system in Greece is largely disconnected from the domestic economy.

Given that innovation can and should form the core of efforts to boost competitiveness in a sustainable and socially just manner in Greece, will the Commission say:. Does it have any statistics on the level of research and development spending in Member States?

If so, what is the percentage of public and what the percentage of private spending? How does the adjustment programme followed by Greece — which aims, inter alia , to strengthen the country's competitiveness — strengthen and promote the system of innovation and promote research as critical factors for competitiveness?

In its capacity as member of the Troika, is it drawing up proposals for an increase in public investments in dynamic and rapidly growing sectors of the economy so as to offset the loss of funds for research and technology caused by the contraction of private investment spending? Does it have any data on the amount of EU funds for research and technology which Greece has failed to take up? What are the take-up rates of Member States in this area? Does this situation undermine the Union's competitiveness profile?

Will the respective objectives of the EU strategy be realised? The Greek authorities are responsible for the allocation of the public funds in sectors that they consider important. Product market reforms removing unnecessary restrictions to economic activities are a major contribution to innovation. In dialogue with the Commission, most of Member States have determined differentiated research intensity objectives. Such a situation totally undermines a State's human and productive capital and also weakens the position of workers in the labour market due to the fact that they can no longer keep abreast of developments in their field of professional activity as they have been unemployed for a long period of time.

Does it have any data on unemployment rates and the average time spent outside the labour market for skilled workers in Member States? What are the sectors of professional activity with the highest increases in rates of long-term unemployment among highly skilled workers? Will it promote exchanges of best practices between Member States in order to identify the most appropriate ways of promoting cooperation between academic institutions and businesses geared to the commercial and productive exploitation of innovative products on the markets?

Since , it has increased most sharply for those previously employed in financial and insurance activities, professional activities, administrative and support service activities and construction. The country specific recommendations of the European Semester did not specifically identified policies towards highly-skilled long-term unemployed. The Commission has published guidelines for universities to improve their links with industry across Europe.

I have followed closely the construction of the A1 in Poland, in particular the section of the road in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie province. This may severely delay the opening of a motorway that is of great importance for the development of Poland and the entire region. Construction works on several sections have been suspended.
