text: C 196/42 FR Journal officiel des Communaute·s europe·ennes 22. 6. 98 Re·ponse donne·e par Sir Leon Brittan au nom de la Commmission (2 fe·vrier 1998) Le respect des droits de l(cid:146)homme et liberte·s fondamentales en Chine reste pour la Commission un sujet de pre·occupation constant. La Commission n(cid:146)a jamais manque· d(cid:146)exprimer, lorsqu(cid:146)elle l(cid:146)estime justifie·e, sa pre·occupation a‘ l(cid:146)e·gard de la situation des droits de l(cid:146)homme au Tibet en paticulier. La Commission ne dispose pas d(cid:146)e·le·ments d(cid:146)information pre·cis sur les faits rapporte·s par l(cid:146)Honorable Parlementaire. Si ces faits se confirmaient, la Commission ne manquerait pas, ainsi qu(cid:146)elle l(cid:146)a de·ja‘ fait dans le passe·, d(cid:146)e·voquer, dans le cadre du dialogue bilate·ral avec la Chine sur les droits de l(cid:146)homme, toute atteinte aux droits de l(cid:146)homme ainsi qu(cid:146)a‘ la dignite· humaine. (98/C 196/59) QUESTION E· CRITE E-3967/97 pose·e par Reimer Bo¤ge (PPE) a‘ la Commission (12 de·cembre 1997) Objet: Ne·cessite· d(cid:146)une directive ge·ne·rale concernant le lait pour animaux La Commission n(cid:146)estime-t-elle pas que, e·tant donne· le nombre de directives en vigueur, il est ne·cessaire d(cid:146)e·laborer une directive ge·ne·rale concernant le lait pour animaux, afin de doter d(cid:146)un cadre ge·ne·ral bien de·fini la le·gislation communautaire en la matie‘re? Dans l(cid:146)affirmative, quels sont, selon la Commission, les principaux objectifs et principes a‘ prendre en conside·ration? Re·ponse donne·e par M. Fischler au nom de la Commission (3 fe·vrier 1998) La Commission partage le point de vue exprime· par l(cid:146)Honorable Parlementaire qu(cid:146)il serait souhaitable au vu du nombre important de directives re·glementant l(cid:146)alimentation des animaux de proce·der assez rapidement a‘ une refonte de celles-ci dans un acte unique. Des travaux ont e·te· engage·s sur ce sujet mais malheureusement ils ont du e(cid:136)tre interrompus, pour re·soudre d(cid:146)autres proble‘mes juge·s prioritaires. La Commission est d(cid:146)avis qu(cid:146)une refonte de la le·gislation actuelle doit avant tout e(cid:136)tre con(cid:231)ue dans un esprit de simplification sans pour autant alie·ner les objectifs qui ont pre·side· a‘ la mise en place du droit existant a‘ savoir la protection de la sante· animale et humaine, la pre·servation de l(cid:146)environnement, la qualite· des aliments des animaux et l(cid:146)information de l(cid:146)e·leveur. Cette simplification doit conduire a‘ l(cid:146)adoption de re‘gles qui en raison de leur plus grande transparence pourront mieux e(cid:136)tre applique·es par les diffe·rents ope·rateurs, et notamment par l(cid:146)industrie.

Suurin osa muuttajista on ollut kurdeja, jotka yritta¤va¤t pa¤a¤sta¤ Euroopan unionin alueelle Italian kautta. Muuttaminen on kasvanut huomattavasti sisa¤a¤lissotien runtelemista maista, joissa ihmisoikeuksia ei kunnioiteta. Mihin toimiin Euroopan unioni aikoo ryhtya¤ hillita¤kseen muuttovirtaa, mutta varmistaakseen myo¤s, etta¤ etnisten va¤hemmisto¤ryhmien oikeuksia ja siis ihmisarvoista ela¤ma¤a¤ kunnioitetaan? Komission puheenjohtajan Jacques Santerin komission puolesta antama vastaus (10. helmikuuta 1998) Luxemburgin Eurooppa-neuvoston pa¤a¤telmissa¤ viitattiin erityisesti Irakista saapuvien maahanmuuttajien suureen ma¤a¤ra¤a¤n. (1) Neuvostoa pyydettiin laatimaan ja toteuttamaan toimintasuunnitelma, jossa otettaisiin huomioon myo¤s joukkopakolaisuuden syyt, joista humanitaariset seikat ja ihmisoikeuskysymykset muodostavat olennaisen osan. Suunnitelmassa ma¤a¤ritella¤a¤n ulkosuhteita koskevat toimenpiteet, joihin Euroopan unionin on ryhdytta¤va¤. Siihen kuuluu myo¤s oikeus- ja sisa¤asioita koskeva osa, jossa ka¤sitella¤a¤n erityisesti turvapaikka- ja maahanmuuttokysymyksia¤. Komissio osallistuu aktiivisesti toimintasuunnitelman valmistelemiseen kaikissa asianomaisissa toimielimissa¤. Se teki vuonna 1997 kaksi ta¤ha¤n kysymykseen liittyva¤a¤ ehdotusta, jotka ovat edelleen neuvoston tutkittavina. Maaliskuussa 1997 tehty ehdotus koski yhteista¤ toimintaa siirtyma¤a¤n joutuneiden henkilo¤iden va¤liaikaiseksi suojelemiseksi. (2) Euroopan parlamenttia kuultiin ta¤sta¤ ehdotuksesta, joka tarjoaisi asianmukaisen oikeudellisen viitekehyksen va¤liaikaista kansainva¤lista¤ suojelua tarvitsevien henkilo¤iden osalta. Heina¤kuussa 1997 komissio teki ehdotuksen turvapaikka- ja maahanmuuttopolitiikan seka¤ ulkorajojen ylitta¤misen alan koulutus-, vaihto- ja yhteistyo¤ohjelmaa (Odysseus) koskevasta yhteisesta¤ toiminnasta. (3) Parlamenttia kuultiin myo¤s ta¤sta¤ ehdotuk- sesta, jonka perusteella voidaan ottaa ka¤ytto¤o¤n suunnattuja toimenpiteita¤ seka¤ ja¤senvaltioiden etta¤ kauttakulku- maiden va¤lilla¤.
