Dette betyder blandt andet, at spildevandet senest den 31. december 1998 skal underklastes sekund(cid:230)r spildevandsrensning, (d. v. s. biologisk rensning) samt en supplerende rensning for kv(cid:230)lstof og fosfor, inden det udledes i Senne. Der er planlagt to rensningsanl(cid:230)g, hhv. nord og syd for Bruxelles, med henblik p(cid:229) direktiv 91/271/E(cid:216)F. I sin egenskab af traktatens vogter tilser Kommissionen, at f(cid:230)llesskabslovgivningen gennemfłres p(cid:229) dette omr(cid:229)de, s(cid:229)vel i Bruxelles som i alle de andre stłrre byomr(cid:229)der i F(cid:230)llesskabet.

Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen at tr(cid:230)ffe for at sikre et retsgrundlag for disse budgetposter? Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Pa·draig Flynn (28. november 1997) Kommissionen afventer med stor interesse Domstolens afsigelse af dom i tre verserende sager (C-106/96, C-239/96 og C240/96), der vedrłrer F(cid:230)llesskabets kompetence til at tr(cid:230)ffe foranstaltninger p(cid:229) (cid:230)ldreomr(cid:229)det samt til at iv(cid:230)rks(cid:230)tte aktioner med henblik p(cid:229) at bek(cid:230)mpe social udstłdelse i tilf(cid:230)lde af utilstr(cid:230)kkelig lovgivning. Retsmłdet i sag C-106/96 fandt sted den 4. november 1997. Kommissionen er i denne sammenh(cid:230)ng ved at undersłge Amsterdam-traktatens muligheder, n(cid:229)r den tr(cid:230)der i kraft efter ratifikationen i de 15 medlemsstater, for s(cid:229) vidt ang(cid:229)r iv(cid:230)rks(cid:230)ttelse af foranstaltninger p(cid:229) (cid:230)ldreomr(cid:229)det samt aktioner med henblik p(cid:229) at bek(cid:230)mpe social udstłdelse.

Allerede i gammel tid havde man opdaget en m(cid:230)ngde kul under Newstead Abbey, men under hele den industrielle revolution blev der aldrig gjort noget for at bryde det, netop af frygt for at huset skulle styrte sammen. For nylig opstod denne fare, da private interesser arbejder p(cid:229) at f(cid:229) brudt kullene. Det erkendes oven i kłbet, at brydningen af kullene vil kunne medfłre, at Newstead Abbey styrter sammen. Kommissionen bedes oplyse: a) Er den opm(cid:230)rksom p(cid:229) denne truende situation for et vigtigt mindesm(cid:230)rke i den europ(cid:230)iske kulturarv? b) Hvad har den konkret til hensigt at głre, for at denne katastrofe kan undg(cid:229)s?

Nogle af mine v(cid:230)lgere har skrevet til mig om dette spłrgsm(cid:229)l. De er meget bekymrede over de mulige implikationer af disse forslag, som f. eks. vil medfłre en kraftig neds(cid:230)ttelse af de anbefalede daglige gennemsnitsdoser (Recommended Daily Allowances). Skr(cid:230)khistorier af denne art er dukket op i den britiske presse og har givet anledning til dyb foruroligelse hos personer, der regelm(cid:230)ssigt tager vitamin- og mineraltilskud. Svar afgivet p(cid:229) Kommissionens vegne af Martin Bangemann (13. november 1997) Kommissionen har endnu ikke fremsat forslag om harmonisering af lovgivningen vedrłrende vitamin- og mineraltilskud til levnedsmidler. I juni 1997 offentliggjorde Kommissionen et diskussionsopl(cid:230)g vedrłrende dette emne. Sigtet hermed var at finde frem til de punkter, der skulle tages under overvejelse og debatteres forud for eventuelle harmoniserings- forslag. Kommissionen bad om at f(cid:229) kommentarer hertil inden den 30. september 1997. Den har modtaget en lang r(cid:230)kke kommentarer, som vil blive n(cid:230)rmere analyseret, fłrend der tr(cid:230)ffes nogen beslutning om hvorvidt der błr forel(cid:230)gges harmoniseringsforslag. (98/C 134/132) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-3164/97 af Roberta Angelilli (NI) til Kommissionen (13. oktober 1997) Om: Yderligere oplysninger om den (cid:229)rlige rapport fra C. E. R. A. om »Ekstremisme i Europa« I maj 1997 offentliggjorde C. E. R. A. (Det Europ(cid:230)iske Center for Forskning og Aktion i forbindelse med Racisme og Antisemitisme med łkonomisk stłtte fra Europa-Kommissionen en rapport med titlen »Ekstremisme i Europa«. Denne rapport har allerede v(cid:230)ret genstand for mindst to forespłrgsler fra Parlamentet til Kommissionen, nemlig P-1940/97 (1) og i E-2047/97 (2), hvori det h(cid:230)vdes, at denne rapport giver et forvr(cid:230)nget billede af kendsgerningerne, som kr(cid:230)nker politiske partier eller hele medlemsstater i Unionen, som uberettiget anklages for at udłve eller opfordre til racisme og fremmedhad. Kommissionen har i sine svar p(cid:229) forespłrgslerne afvist ethvert ansvar for denne rapport, idet den har understreget, at der ikke er tale om et officielt dokument fra Kommissionen, selv om forskellige presseorganer har beskrevet den som et s(cid:229)dant over for offentligheden. Imidlertid hedder det i Kommissionens forordning om protektorater, at tildeling af stłtte fra Kommissionen er betinget af, at projektet ikke kr(cid:230)nker en del af offentligheden i et eller flere medlemsstater, en indstilling, som ogs(cid:229) st(cid:229)r i retningslinjerne for forel(cid:230)ggelsen af projekter vedrłrende det europ(cid:230)iske (cid:229)r mod racisme.

Where any decision on classification results in a change of classification practice or a change of category of any product subject to this Agreement the affected products shall follow the trade regime applicable to the practice or category they fall into after such changes. Any amendment to the combined nomenclature (CN) made in accordance with the procedures in force in the Community concerning categories of products covered by this Agreement or any decision relating to the classification of goods shall not have the effect of reducing quantitative limits introduced pursuant to this Agreement. The origin of the products covered by this Agreement shall be determined in 2. accordance with the rules in force in the Community.

Following consultations 4. in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 14, exports of products in Annex I not subject to quantitative limits, other than those listed in Annex H, may be subject, subsequently to the entry into force of this Agreement, to the double-checking system referred to in paragraph 2 or to a prior surveillance system introduced by the Community. Article 4 The Community and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia recognise the special and differential character of re-imports of textile products into the Community after processing in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as a specific form of industrial and trade cooperation. Should quantitative limits be established under Article 8, provided that they are effected in accordance with the regulations on economic outward processing in force in the Community, these re-imports shall not be subject to these quantitative limits if they are subject to the specific arrangements laid down in Annex HI.

Article 7 Should quantitative limits be introduced under Article 8, the following provisions shall apply: 1. In any Agreement year advance use of a portion of the quantitative limit established for the following Agreement year is authorized for each category of products up to 5% of the quantitative limit for the current Agreement year. Amounts delivered in advance shall be deducted from the corresponding quantitative limits established for the following Agreement year. 2.

Pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia undertakes to limit exports of the products concerned to the Community for a provisional period of 3 months from the date on which the request for consultations is made. Such provisional limit shall be established at 25% of the level of imports reached during the calendar year preceding that in which imports exceeded the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2, and gave rise to the request for consultation, or 25% of the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2, whichever is the higher. / «/ 4. Should the Contracting Parties be unable in the course of consultations to reach a satisfactory solution within the period specified in Article 14, the Community shall have the right to introduce a definitive quantitative limit at an annual level not lower than the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2, or 106% of the level of imports reached during the calendar year preceding that in which imports exceeded the level resulting from the application of the formula set out in paragraph 2 and gave rise to the request for consultations, whichever is the higher. The annual level so fixed shall be revised upwards after consultations in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 14, with a view to fulfilling the conditions set out in paragraph 2, should the trend of total imports into the Community of the product in question make this necessary. The annual growth rate for the quantitative limits introduced under this Article 5. shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Appendix C. 6. The provisions of this Article shall not apply where the percentages specified in paragraph 2 have been reached as a result of a fall in total imports into the Community, and not as a result of an increase in exports of products originating in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. 7. In the event the provisions of paragraph 2, 3 and 4, the Community shall authorise the imports of products of the category concerned shipped from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia before the request for consultations was submitted.

Such consultations must be held within fifteen working days of their being requested by the Community. '} 2. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall endeavour to ensure that exports of textile products subject to quantitative limits into the Community are spaced out as evenly as possible over the year due account being taken in particular of seasonal factors. Article 12 In the event of denunciation of this Agreement as provided for in Article 18(3), the quantitative limits established pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced on a pro rate temporis basis unless the Contracting Parties decide otherwise by common agreement. Article 13 The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the Community undertake to refrain from discrimination in the allocation of export licences and import authorisations or documents referred to in Appendixes A and B.

text: 25. 5. 98 DA De Europ(cid:230)iske F(cid:230)llesskabers Tidende C 158/31 (98/C 158/39) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-3102/97 af Roberto Mezzaroma (UPE) til R(cid:229)det (9. oktober 1997) Om: Den katolske kirke i Rusland Jeg har fra p(cid:229)lidelig kilde erfaret, at den russiske pr(cid:230)sident Boris Jeltsin snart skal undertegne en lov, der blev vedtaget af Dumaen den 23. juni og af senatorerne i R(cid:229)det den 4. juli 1997, hvorefter den katolske kirke reduceres til en almindelig sekt med meget begr(cid:230)nsede rettigheder. Ikke blot ville den łkumeniske dialog mellem den ortodokse og den katolske kirke blive bragt i fare, men der ville ligeledes v(cid:230)re tale om en overtr(cid:230)delse af en af de grundl(cid:230)ggende menneskerettigheder, nemlig religionsfriheden jf. artikel 18. Hvad foretager R(cid:229)det sig for at afv(cid:230)rge dette meget uretf(cid:230)rdige overgreb? Błr R(cid:229)det, Kommissionen og EP ikke iv(cid:230)rks(cid:230)tte en f(cid:230)lles aktion, bl. a. ved at neds(cid:230)tte et undersłgelsesudvalg om beskyttelse af de russiske katolikkers rettigheder i forbindelse med udłvelsen af deres tro i den katolske kirke? Endvidere m(cid:229) det understreges, at katolicismen aldrig kan sidestilles med en sekt, som der findes s(cid:229) mange af, og som ofte er oprettet for vindings skyld. Svar (19. januar 1998) Den Europ(cid:230)iske Union har ligesom andre lande, der n(cid:230)rer samme bekymringer, gennem passende henvendelser indtr(cid:230)ngende opfordret de russiske myndigheder til ikke at vedtage den p(cid:229)g(cid:230)ldende lov og samtidig fremh(cid:230)vet, at den till(cid:230)gger det afgłrende betydning, at alle religioner behandles rimeligt og retf(cid:230)rdigt og i overensstem- melse med internationalt anerkendte principper. Nu, da loven er vedtaget, vil R(cid:229)det v(cid:230)re opm(cid:230)rksomt p(cid:229), at den gennemfłres i overensstemmelse med Ruslands internationale forpligtelser, herunder dem der er indg(cid:229)et i Europar(cid:229)det. R(cid:229)det har ikke hłrt, at der efter lovens vedtagelse skulle have v(cid:230)ret tilf(cid:230)lde af forfłlgelser, som russiske katolske statsborgere eller andre skulle v(cid:230)ret blevet ofre for. (98/C 158/40) SKRIFTLIG FORESP(cid:216)RGSEL E-3109/97 af Roberta Angelilli (NI) til Kommissionen (13. oktober 1997) Om: Rom-Pantano-metrolinjen i Tor Bella Monaca Beboerne i det t(cid:230)t befolkede Tor Bella Monaca-kvarter i udkanten af Rom er for nylig tr(cid:229)dt i aktion for at anmode Rom Kommune om at indstille anl(cid:230)ggelsen af Rom-Pantano-metrolinjen og tage projektet op til fornyet overvejelse. Faktisk indeb(cid:230)rer det nuv(cid:230)rende projekt for denne linje, som ville g(cid:229) gennem beboelsesomr(cid:229)derne i Tor Bella Monaca og lłbe over jorden, anl(cid:230)ggelsen af et metrospor mellem to cementmure af nogle meters hłjde. Ifłlge beboerne vil disse mure imidlertid i betragtning af metrolinjens udstikning praktisk talt blive opfłrt lige foran beboelsesejendomme og › for at sige det mildt › f(cid:229) en voldsom indvirkning p(cid:229) miljłet. P(cid:229) det officielle kort over projektet skulle en lang r(cid:230)kke beboelsesejendomme, som er beliggende klos op ad de hłje cementbeskyttelsesmure, faktisk ikke v(cid:230)re angivet. Vil Kommissionen p(cid:229) baggrund af ovenst(cid:229)ende: 1. oplyse, om dette projekt er omfattet af bilag II i direktiv 85/337/E(cid:216)F (1) om miljłindvirkningsvurdering? 2. om borgernes manglende inddragelse i miljłindvirkningsvurderingen af Rom-Pantano-metrolinjen udgłr en kr(cid:230)nkelse af n(cid:230)vnte direktiv 85/337/E(cid:216)F?
