Approval of the technical surveys is subject to an authorised investment plan, which is also non-existent. Does the Commission consider that the technical survey and investment plan approval procedures for surface clearance authorisation have been circumvented?

Does it agree that this is an infringement of Greek and European law? If so, what measures will it take? A la vista de lo sucedido:. In recent months, hundreds of workers from several companies in the Basque Country have been affected by the bankruptcy of a company based in another EU country, which was responsible for paying part of their pension fund entitlements. These workers had taken out a policy, with an Antwerp insurance company, to complement the ordinary benefits covered by Social Security in Spain. After several companies were relocated, the workers were left unemployed, or took early retirement and, as well as Social Security benefits, began to receive the income support to which they were entitled from that Belgian company.

After the workers had begun to receive these complementary benefits, the Belgian insurance company was taken over by the country's federal authorities. The first consequence of the takeover, which took place at the end of , was that the workers from the Basque companies stopped receiving the income support which had been included in their policy. After examining the events, the Spanish courts recognised the debts owed to the workers affected.

Nevertheless, until now the workers have neither recovered the amounts which are owed to them, nor received a guarantee that payment of additional entitlements corresponding to their contributions will resume. Does the Commission have any data, claims or complaints relating to this type ofproblem?

If so, how many workers are affected and from which Member States? The Commission is aware of the case mentioned by the Honourable Member. Several EU Member States operate Insurance Guarantee Schemes to protect policy holders in the event of an insolvency of an insurance undertaking. At this stage, and notably before further progress in the negotiation on the two legislative proposals, the Commission finds it premature considering a follow-up to the white paper.

Bankruptcies are expected as an immediate result of the decision, particularly among small and medium-sized producers in the renewables sector, for whom the level of the charges is unrealistic. When the charges were proposed there was a strong reaction both from the representatives of business and consumer organisations and from diplomatic representatives in Bulgaria.

They called on the Government to intervene immediately. To date, however, the Bulgarian Government has moved neither to abolish the charge nor, indeed, to justify its introduction. Does the Commission consider that the introduction of these charges, without any explanation as to their value, is in accordance with European law? Does the Commission not consider the provision for varying levels of charge, depending on the period for which producers were connected to the grid in previous years, to be a distortion of competition?

Does the Commission plan to take any action in view of the anticipated bankruptcies among renewable energy producers in Bulgaria as a result of the introduction of charges for access to the grid? The Commission is aware of the recent changes in Bulgaria's legislation introducing grid access tariffs apparently only for producers of electricity from renewable energy sources. Diskriminierung von Menschen mit Behinderung: Cases have, however, come to light in which persons with a visual impairment or another disability were refused entry into restaurants or shops because they had a guide dog.

Given that European primary law unequivocally outlaws discrimination, are there national standards or EU-wide rules under which trained guide dogs for the blind are classified as medical equipment, and can thus, regardless of general national regulations, enter as many places as possible? Would the Commission agree that it must take action to remedy this unacceptable, discriminatory state of affairs by ensuring the adoption of clear European legislation? The EU acquis does not contain rules concerning access of persons with disabilities to restaurants or shops.

State Parties must take effective measures to ensure personal mobility with the greatest possible independence for persons with disabilities. The EU also became a party to the Convention in and is bound by its obligations to the extent of EU competences. The Commission has made much progress towards dealing with the issue of the shock of high mobile phone bills due to roaming costs, but a considerable source of bill shock remains in the form of the consequences of a mobile phone being stolen.

Currently, many customers have difficulty in quickly communicating with their mobile provider in order to report a theft, as often this is done via a phone call, which is difficult if their phone has been stolen. In the light of the consumer protection legislation, is the Commission of the view that mobile phone companies are doing enough to facilitate speedy alternative means of reporting mobile phones as stolen, perhaps via a common online portal? Is the Commission aware of consumer disquiet over the issue and, if so, does it have any plans to investigate the European mobile phone market?

The Commission is aware of consumer disquiet over this issue and aims, within its competences, at addressing this matter. It is therefore understandable that those in the industry feel strongly that this regulation should be amended. Does the Commission have plans to reconsider this matter? In the Union, the removal of SRM from the food and feed chains has been mandatory since and is the most important public health protection measure. This opinion reviewed the distribution of TSE infectivity in small ruminant tissues and provided for the first time a quantification of the impact on public health of current SRM measures in small ruminants.

Considering this opinion, the Commission has no plan to reconsider the current rule related to the removal of the spinal cord in sheep. In the light of this, can the Commission provide a precise definition which can be used? This will effectively duplicate the services of another company which is already providing broadband in the same area. The company currently providing the broadband will not be able to compete against a company receiving state money.

The UK analysed the existing broadband infrastructure in detail. The consultation with existing operators in an open, transparent way ensures that any commercial operators' investment plans are taken into account, and public funds are used only where similar commercial investments do not exist and are not planned in the near future.

Publishing all information related to the broadband scheme and individual projects will ensure a high level of transparency on the use of public funds. The framework Agreement selection procedure was done in an open, non-discriminatory way in line with EU public procurement principles. The Commission did not identify any requirements of the framework Agreement that could have excluded any operators from bidding. If local authorities wish not to use the BDUK Framework Agreement, the UK confirmed that the tender process will be open, transparent and non-discriminatory.

Therefore, aid for each project will always be allocated on the basis of an open tender process. The inability of the Congolese authorities to contain the fresh violence that broke out a few months ago in Kivu in the DRC reveals the extent to which a climate of total impunity now prevails in the region. The aim of this initiative is to develop a closely-monitored tin supply chain outside the control of armed groups.

What EU legislative initiatives is the Commission planning to take in order to achieve that objective, and when? The Commission is aware of the links between the illegal exploitation and trade of minerals and the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo DRC. The Commission has promoted an approach based on transparency of physical markets, supply chains and revenues. In this regard, the Commission continues to work at the OECD through multi-stakeholder processes on implementation of these Guidelines and the Guidance, as well as developing its corporate social responsibility strategy.

In addition, the Commission and European External Action Service EEAS are working closely together on a possible comprehensive EU due diligence initiative, the scope of which still needs to be determined. A public consultation should be launched in and contributions from Parliament will be welcome. The restoration of Congolese state authority and the rule of law in the eastern regions of the DRC, along with a wide-ranging security sector reform, as well as broader development strategies are crucial to ensure a long-lasting peace and stability in the region.

Gluten-free flours are 5. Particularly for the poorer classes this is a crucial question, because given to the current high prices they very probably cannot afford the diet food they need, thus endangering their health. The situation of people with a sensitivity to flour could be improved considerably if the special basic foods could be obtained on prescription from chemists.

Such solutions are already being applied in Western Europe. In Finland and Italy a tax allowance or monthly subsidy helps to cover the expense of gluten-free food, and in France monthly supplies are granted. Does not the Commission consider that the financial difficulties affecting people with food allergies as a result of the excessively high price of the foods they need place them — through no fault of their own — at an unfair disadvantage?

Does the Commission plan to initiate legislation with a view to alleviating the significant burdens caused by the cost of foods for people with food allergies? In the interest of balancing the internal market and improving the adverse situation of those suffering from food allergies, what other instruments and legislative options does the Commission envisage to remedy this problem? The Commission is aware of the health impact of food allergies or intolerance and avoidance of the foodstuff causing the problem is essential. The Commission does not intend to develop legislation to alleviate the burden caused by the cost of food for people with food allergies as it has no role in reimbursement of food for special dietary requirements, which remains the direct responsibility of Member States.

Aanpak onveiligheid en oneerlijke concurrentie in de Europese transportsector. In hoeverre is de Commissie op de hoogte van gevallen waarbij het afgeven van diploma's aan chauffeurs voor het vervoer van gevaarlijke stoffen in alle EU-lidstaten op onordentelijk wijze geschiedt? Is de Commissie bekend met de praktijk waarin chauffeurs in de transportsector collectieve arbeidsovereenkomsten ontwijken via legale en illegale constructies zoals het opzetten van satellietvestigingen in EU-lidstaten met lagere lonen en een lagere sociale bescherming? Welke actie is de Commissie van plan te ondernemen tegen deze oneerlijke concurrentie in de transportsector?

Het betreft niet alleen de regels inzake markttoegang, maar ook regels voor het vervoer van gevaarlijke goederen, de opleiding van bestuurders en het gebruik van de tachograaf. Deze regels evolueren constant om de verkeersveiligheid te verbeteren en eerlijke concurrentie en veilige werkomstandigheden te garanderen. De handhaving is echter een verantwoordelijkheid van de lidstaten, die de nodige maatregelen moeten treffen om te garanderen dat vervoersondernemingen en professionele bestuurders deze regels naleven.

Inbreuken moeten worden bestraft overeenkomstig de nationale sanctieregeling, die effectief, evenredig, ontradend en niet-dicriminerend moet zijn. De Commissie houdt toezicht op de tenuitvoerlegging van deze wetgeving op basis van de verslagen van de lidstaten, waarin de effectiviteit van de regels wordt beoordeeld en de standpunten van het bedrijfsleven worden verzameld.

Regelmatig worden vergaderingen gehouden om problemen met de handhaving met de lidstaten en sociale partners te bespreken. Indien nodig neemt de Commissie het initiatief om nieuwe wetgeving voor te stellen. De Commissie is voornemens om in een initiatief te nemen met betrekking tot de markt voor wegvervoer. Ook sociale normen kunnen in dit wetgevingspakket aan bod komen. To what extent is the Commission aware of cases in which drivers have been improperly issued with certificates for the transport of dangerous substances in all EU Member States?

What action will the Commission take to tackle this international problem and guarantee the safety of the transport of dangerous substances throughout the EU? Is the Commission aware of the practice whereby drivers in road haulage evade collective agreements on terms of employment by means of both legal and illegal arrangements such as setting up satellite establishments in EU Member States with lower wages and poorer social protection? What action will the Commission take against this unfair competition in the transport industry? The issues raised by the Honourable Member relate to various pieces of EU road transport legislation.

Apart from market access these rules also include rules on transport of dangerous goods, driver training and the use of tachograph. These rules are under constant evolution to enhance road safety, fair competition, safe working conditions. However, enforcement is the responsibility of Member States, who must take the measures to ensure that transport companies and professional drivers comply with these rules. Any infringements should be sanctioned in accordance with the national system of penalties, which are designed to be effective, proportional, dissuasive and non-discriminatory.

Enforcement issues are reviewed with Member States and social partners at regular meetings. If appropriate, the Commission takes the initiative to propose new legislation. In the Commission plans an initiative on the road transport market. This initiative could include actions on the categorisation of serious infringements and on enhanced harmonised enforcement. Social standards could also be part of this legislative package. Dieser Antrag ist zurzeit bis zum Abschluss des Einhaltungsverfahrens ausgesetzt. The Commission estimates that the enforcement of sanctions will take one to two more years.

Can the Commission predict how much the remainder of the process will cost the EU? This request is currently suspended pending the completion of the compliance proceedings. In response to points 1.

EUR-Lex Access to European Union law

A detailed estimate of the costs is however not possible, also because there are ongoing proceedings. In response to points 5. Juni Antidumpinguntersuchung bzw. August Antisubventionsuntersuchung zu geschehen hat. Imports from China of solar energy systems marketed at dumping prices are forcing more and more European manufacturers of photovoltaic equipment to declare insolvency or lay off workers. Since every week sees another solar energy company forced to declare insolvency or make workers redundant, EU ProSun has called on the Commission to speed up the procedure and begin keeping a formal record of Chinese imports as a matter of urgency.

The Commission is in the phase of collecting information for its investigation into the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy complaints on crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules. Given the great number of parties involved, the Commission has selected samples of exporting producers in China and producers and importers in the Union, and has requested that they reply to specific questionnaires.

Other interested parties, like users and also the Government of China in the subsidy case , are also requested to provide information. Within those deadlines, the Commission will work as speedily as possible. The speed of the case will be determined by its complexity and size as well as by the need to carry out out the investigations properly and accurately and the requirement to ensure due process for all interested parties.

Aspekte der Robustheit von Computern und Netzen werden in diesem Zusammenhang behandelt. After some major cyberattacks on several Member States, a European cybersecurity strategy is currently being drafted by the Commission. Cybersecurity activities range from cyberespionage to cybercrime and cyberwar. Each of these has its own motivations and goals. Policy responses and attempts at standardisation are becoming increasingly difficult due to the wide range of activities and areas of focus. Does the Commission have an overview on whether any national cybersecurity strategies exist within the EU?

Has the Commission already analysed national cybersecurity standards at European and international level? If so, please could it share the results and conclusions? Until now, there has been no EU voice on international standardisation bodies in the area of cybersecurity. How does the Commission plan to change this situation? A number of Member States have already informed the Commission that they have adopted national cyber-security strategies. Most of those strategies are also publicly available and have been translated into English. Those strategies cover various aspects of cyber-security including prevention and resilience, research, the fight against cybercrime, defence and its external dimension.

Cyber resilience aspects will be taken up in this context. Moreover, the forthcoming EU Cyber Security Strategy should further address the issue of standardisation. The aggression of the Israeli State towards the Palestinian people and its provocative intolerance of its just struggle to end the occupation and create an independent, viable and sovereign Palestinian State has once again found expression in a speech given by Israeli Prime Minister B. Netanyahu at the recent UN General Assembly. The criminal actions of the Israeli army of occupation have culminated in murderous attacks against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the other Palestinian territories.

Imperialist rivalries increase the risks of a generalized war, with devastating consequences for the peoples of the region as a whole. This EU-Israel agreement essentially constitutes a straightforward recognition and legitimization to the Israeli occupation and its crimes against the Palestinian people. Will it pursue this policy in support of Israel against the Palestinian people and its just struggle for an end to the Israeli occupation and the establishment of an independent, viable and sovereign Palestinian State within the borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, for the removal of the unacceptable wall, for the release of Palestinian political prisoners in Israel and for the right of return of all Palestinian refugees to their homes, on the basis of the relevant UN resolutions?

The EU is committed to a two-state solution and convinced that the ongoing changes across the Arab world make the need for progress on the Middle East peace process all the more urgent. Heeding the aspirations of the people in the region, including those of Palestinians for statehood and those of Israelis for security is a crucial element for lasting peace, stability and prosperity in the region.

The EU recalls the applicability of international humanitarian law in the occupied Palestinian territory, including the applicability of the fourth Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilians. Amennyiben igen, melyek ezek? Common ragweed is widespread internationally and is constantly spreading into an even wider area, assisted by an increasingly mild climate.

Can the Commission provide information on the following pilot projects initiated by Parliament and included in the EU budget:. Pilot project on complex research on the methods of controlling the spread of ragweed and pollen allergies grant. If so, what are they? Deliverables will be shared after finalisation of the project. The project will deliver policy-relevant guidance to combat Ambrosia invasion as of Vi sono diversi strumenti e apparecchiature tecnologiche, come ad esempio respiratori, carrozzine, deambulatori e materassi anti-decubito, che sono necessari per determinate categorie di pazienti, e che in Italia sono quindi garantiti dal Servizio Sanitario Nazionale.

Il Nomenclatore tariffario contiene l'elenco completo di questi strumenti, ma il suo ultimo aggiornamento risale a ben 13 anni or sono Decreto n. La tecnologia in detto ambito si evolve in maniera piuttosto rapida, e i pazienti che necessitano di questi ausili si trovano di fronte a una difficile scelta, ovvero utilizzare strumenti obsoleti oppure dover pagare di tasca propria la differenza per poter usufruire di migliori servizi.

Questi nuovi dispositivi non si caratterizzano per essere dei prototipi specifici, ma solamente delle innovazioni entrate oramai nell'uso comune in ambito sanitario. Esiste a livello europeo un coordinamento per lo scambio delle migliori pratiche e tecniche innovative in ambito di dispositivi medici e sanitari? La Commissione ritiene tuttavia importante identificare e condividere informazioni sulle innovazioni che intervengono nell'ambito degli ausili medici.

There are a number of instruments and pieces of technological equipment, such as respirators, wheelchairs, walking frames and anti-bedsore mattresses, which are necessary for certain categories of patient and which are therefore provided by the national health service in Italy. In theory, there were supposed to be regular adjustments, every three years at the most, but this requirement has been completely ignored and the revision of the decree further postponed.

Technology in this field is evolving fairly rapidly and patients who need these devices are faced with a difficult choice — either having to use outdated devices or having to pay the difference out of their own pockets in order to receive better services. Sometimes they do not even have that choice, as some new innovations are not even included on the official list. The continuing health service cuts are also forcing many local health authorities ASL to seek lower-cost products on the market, but these are also often of poor quality, such as many wheelchairs that are manufactured in the Far East.

These new devices are not specific prototypes but are simply innovations that have now become commonplace in the health sector. In the light of the above, what measures can the Commission take to try to resolve this situation, which is undermining the autonomy of these patients and preventing them from having a normal social and working life? Is there, at EU level, any coordination with regard to the exchange of best practices and innovative techniques in the field of medical and health devices?

Does the Commission not think it should facilitate a wider dissemination in Europe of the best instruments currently available?

These responsibilities include the management of health services and medical care and the allocation of the resources assigned to them. Nevertheless, the Commission believes it is important to identify and share information on innovation in the area of medical devices.

The Commission therefore organises regular meetings on new and emerging technologies where interested parties such as national Competent Authorities, the medical device industry, Notified Bodies and standardisation bodies can exchange views and share expertise on innovative devices coming onto the European market. Does the Council not think that the prize money from this award could be allocated to help Belarusian society?

It is a disgrace that a dictator remains in power at the very border of the European Union. The Council underlined that the prize also recognises the historically and globally unique project of regional integration and enlargement in Europe, where former enemies today are united as friends around a core set of values.

The Council undertook to continue to work tirelessly for peace and in the promotion of fundamental rights and values and to strive to make its external action more coherent, comprehensive and effective. Mahdi Akhavan Bahabadi, segretario del centro nazionale iraniano del ciberspazio, ha negato il coinvolgimento dell'Iran negli attacchi. Ciononostante, si ritiene che gli attacchi siano stati lanciati in risposta alle sanzioni promosse dagli Stati Uniti e al worm digitale Stuxnet impiegato per paralizzare gli impianti nucleari iraniani.

At this stage, the Commission does not intend to speculate with regard to security arrangements put in place by EU companies against possible state-lead cyber attacks. Alcuni gruppi, quali i separatisti di Pattani, selezionano questi obiettivi in quanto simboli dello Stato thailandese buddista. Anche gli studenti sono stati al centro di brutali attacchi e sono rimasti feriti durante gli attentati dei ribelli contro il personale di sicurezza. Il governo deve garantire protezione a quanti sono nel mirino dei ribelli ma la soluzione militare non basta a dare sicurezza alle popolazione nel lungo termine.

Per una pace duratura nella regione occorrono soluzioni politiche. Groups such as Patani Independence Fighters choose these targets as they are viewed as symbols of the Thai Buddhist state. Insurgents have set fire to more than government schools in eight years, and teachers have been ambushed on their way to school or killed in their classrooms.

Students have also fallen victim to brutal attacks, and been wounded in insurgent attacks targeting security personnel. These attacks on schools seem to be part of a larger campaign by insurgents to use violence and terror to drive Buddhist Thais out of the southern provinces and keep local Muslims under their control. The EU follows the conflict in Southern Thailand with concern. The EU is particularly alarmed by the surge of violence in the past few months.

The EU is engaged with the authorities and other stakeholders in addressing the issue. While the protection of all those targeted by the insurgents should be a priority for the Thai government, military solutions alone cannot provide security to the population over the long term. Sustainable peace in the region can be only guaranteed through political means. A degree of devolution may go a long way, if it is coupled with other political reforms aimed at restoring justice and providing a wider cultural and educational space for Malay communities.

The EU is currently funding a number of activities with a view to strengthening the voice of civil society, fostering dialogue between Buddhist and Muslim communities, and promoting social and economic development in Southern Thailand. Zu diesem Thema gibt es jedoch keine EU-weiten Erhebungen. In providing such services, many agents and agencies apply unfair or even mafia-like methods. For instance, they often demand continuous monthly payments from personal caretakers for whom they have only provided a one-time mediation service. Illegal contracts with personal caretakers are not uncommon, in many cases enforced through coercion, extortion, misappropriation of funds, bogus self-employment, infringement of contract rights, and, in some cases, even of violation of fundamental rights.

To counter this problem, one feasible option is to introduce certificates for personal care that certify the caretaker as well as the agent and agency. On the one hand, such certificates provide quality assurance in professional, linguistic and legal terms. On the other hand, they improve the situation for both the caretaker and the person receiving care. In addition, jobs can be created for caretakers and language trainers. Is the Commission aware of the problem described above, and does it have access to EU-wide surveys on this issue? Is the Commission considering introducing or promoting such certifications throughout the Union?

Is the Commission considering taking action in this field, given its cross-border nature? The precarious status of such care workers would make them vulnerable to abuse and could also imply insufficient quality assurances for care receivers. However, there are no EU-wide surveys on these issues.

The problems are likely to differ from one Member State to another, and it is the responsibility of Member States to enforce the applicable legislation to protect care workers and care receivers. However, the experience from Austria referred to by the Honourable Member could be of interest to other Member States and could be presented in the context of the peer review activities under the auspices of the Social Protection Committee. The Commission has no plans for introducing an EU-wide certification, but could promote the exchange of information among Member States on the issues to be addressed through certification schemes.

The Commission will act if there is a breach of EU legislation, notably concerning the right to free movement of carers from other Member States. The establishment of a European Platform on undeclared work is foreseen in the Commission Work Programme.

Its aim would be to enhance cooperation and exchange information as well as best practices at EU level between different enforcement bodies to achieve a more effective and coherent approach to the fight against undeclared work. Pochissimi, infatti, sono stati i responsabili portati di fronte alla giustizia e puniti per i reati commessi. In tale contesto permeato di violenza cronica, raramente i crimini sessuali vengono denunciati.

I maggiori ostacoli all'accesso alla giustizia sono dati dal timore di stigmatizzazione e alla mancata percezione di reale sicurezza per le vittime sopravvissute e coinvolte nei processi legali. Indeed, very few of the perpetrators have been brought to justice and punished for the crimes committed. The message that clearly emerges from the government's attitude is one of impunity and tolerance towards criminals who trample on the human rights of their victims every day.

In the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences carried out a total of 22 examinations into suspected cases of sexual violence, compared to 12 in In situations of armed conflict, sexual violence against women is carried out to sow terror among communities, to force them to flee and to wreak revenge on the enemy. In such a situation of chronic violence, sex crimes are rarely reported. The main obstacles to access to justice are the fear of being stigmatised and the perceived lack of real security for surviving victims involved in legal proceedings.

In addition, administrative delays, a lack of funds and the infiltration of armed groups into local institutions make the legal process inadequate to meet the victims' needs for protection and humanity. The real problems in the country are not due to a lack of laws to punish sex offenders, but to the fact that those laws are not genuinely and consistently enforced. The Colombian government has made significant efforts to strengthen the rule of law and to reduce impunity for human rights violations throughout the country.

However, these are hampered by the continued existence of the complex and multifaceted conflict, which represents a persistent human rights challenge and a formidable obstacle to the effective administration of justice. Reden voor inzameling is optimale recycling en het tegengaan van illegale export, dump en verwerking. Veel kostbare grondstoffen gaan alsnog verloren, de arbeidsomstandigheden bij veel recycling buiten Europa laten te wensen over en milieuvervuiling is een groot risico.

De lidstaten moeten de inzameling en verwerking van deze afvalstromen organiseren. De overheid certificeert instanties die de inzameling mogen doen. In hoeverre verplicht de Commissie lidstaten aan te tonen welke problemen er zijn bij de inzameling van deze afvalstromen en welke acties de lidstaten nemen om deze problemen op te lossen? Welke actie onderneemt de Commissie als een lidstaat in gebreke blijft bij de inzameling van het afval en transparantie van wat er met deze afvalstromen gebeurt? Welke actie onderneemt de Commissie om inzage te krijgen in wat er gebeurt met de hoeveelheid elektrisch en elektronisch afval dat niet ingezameld wordt?

De betrokken verslagen moet een evaluatie bevatten van de positieve en de negatieve ervaringen met de tenuitvoerlegging van de richtlijn. The aim of collecting it is to ensure optimal recycling and to combat illegal exports, dumping and processing. Large quantities of valuable raw materials go to waste, working conditions for those who perform recycling outside Europe often leave much to be desired, and there is a major risk of environmental pollution.

Member States are required to organise the collection and recycling of these waste flows. The public authorities certify bodies which are permitted to collect waste. In the Netherlands, it has now become apparent that illegal trading is going on between local authorities and uncertified dealers in electrical and electronic waste De Telegraaf , Is the Commission aware of dealing in electrical and electronic waste between local authorities and uncertified dealers?

What action does the Commission take to combat illegal trade between authorities and uncertified collectors? To what extent are Member States required to demonstrate to the Commission what happens to the unregistered part of waste flows? To what extent does the Commission require Member States to demonstrate what problems exist in the collection of these waste flows and what action the Member States are taking to solve these problems? What action does the Commission take if a Member States fails to collect waste in the required manner and does not ensure sufficient transparency regarding what happens to these waste flows?

What action does the Commission take to ascertain what is happening to electrical and electronic waste which is not collected? The Commission will ask the Dutch authorities for further information on the specific case to which the Honourable Member refers. Such reports should include an evaluation of the positive and negative experiences with the implementation of the directive.

It is also generally accepted that airports with fewer than one million passengers are not economically viable and cannot continue to operate without state aid. Will the Commission take this economic reality into account when drafting its revised guidelines and, in particular, authorise operating aid for airports with fewer than one million passengers? Regional airports can play an important role in local development and accessibility.

Nevertheless, it is also important to avoid undue distortions of competition and wasting public resources. This risk is particularly high in cases of duplication of non-profitable airports. The Commission will take all these elements into account when revising the Aviation guidelines. Vil Kommissionen derudover oplyse, hvilke retsakter fra anden og tredje liberaliseringspakke de enkelte medlemsstater har implementeret korrekt?

The European Commission and the Commissioner for Energy have previously answered many questions concerning the implementation of the second and third energy liberalisation packages. For the sake of clarity, the Commission is requested to provide a comprehensive overview of which countries have received letters of formal notice and reasoned opinions, and which countries have been the subject of a case brought before the European Court of Justice.

This overview should be broken down by legal instrument.

The Commission is also requested to state which legal instruments from the second and third energy liberalisation packages have been correctly implemented by the individual countries. In addition, the Commission refers to the tables on this topic sent to the Honourable Member and to Parliament's Secretariat. Esto solo puede generar un consumo irresponsable, no sostenible y desinformado de las conservas pesqueras en lugar de una apuesta por la calidad, la sostenibilidad y el respeto al medio ambiente dentro de la actividad pesquera.

El etiquetado de los productos de la pesca y la acuicultura forma parte integral de la reforma y tiene en cuenta las disposiciones del Reglamento de control, en particular aquellas en materia de trazabilidad. One amendment in particular to the original text stands out among the many tabled. It removes the obligation on producers to inform customers about the origin of the product they are selling. This new piece of legislation will make it difficult to trace fish products as there will be no guarantee that where fish were caught, and hence what labour and social system applied, will be known.

This will make promoting responsible consumption difficult as it will be impossible to judge important factors such as the social, economic and environmental impact if there is no way of knowing in which waters fish processed by canning companies were caught and under what conditions. This will affect small canning companies which try to produce goods whose quality and certification of origin give them added value, which comply with social and labour standards for their workers, and which will have to sell their product without being able to inform customers about its origin.

Thus only the big canning firms will benefit from this change to the proposed legislation, firms who process tonnes of fish at the lowest possible cost without considering protection needs, the environmental impact of their production or the most basic of environmental standards. Unemployment versus shortages of specialist staff. Counting the cost of a possible Austrian exit from the European Union. EU legislation on sale of cooked and raw meat. Measures to reduce noise from freight traffic.

Langzeitfreiwillige, die eine Einladung einer zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisation bei ukrainischen Konsulaten vorlegen, erhalten daher kein Visum mehr. Ist der Kommission diese Problematik bekannt? In autumn , Ukraine brought into force a regulation requiring civil society organisations to issue invitations before visas could be issued.

However, no legal channels yet exist for the necessary registration procedures. This means that long-standing volunteers who present a civil-society invitation to Ukrainian consulates will no longer receive a visa. This is also putting European voluntary services in Ukraine at risk. Is the Commission aware of this problem? If so, has it expressed its criticism to the Ukrainian Government? Therefore, volunteers who wish to stay in Ukraine for such a short period can travel visa-free.

The Commission is not aware of any problems in this context. The EU Delegation in Kyiv has been approached lately by EU citizens working as volunteers who have faced problems when applying for long term visas or residence permits. The EU Delegation has raised these concerns in informal contacts with Ukrainian authorities. Issues related to the registration of EU citizens have been raised in recent political dialogues with Ukraine.

The Spanish banking system is in crisis. Recapitalisation by the Spanish Government based on increasing public debt via direct injection in cases like Bankia, or through the market involves deepening interdependence between banks and Spanish public accounts. However, this option would increase public debt and, therefore, is not consistent with the fiscal consolidation objective required by the Commission. These are objectives that we already know we cannot fulfil. Does the Commission believe that access to the EFSF entails a further tightening of public accounts and the structural reform agenda, deepening the socially harmful cuts and recession in the Spanish economy?

Does the Commission consider the social impact of this calendar acceptable? Does it consider that a banking licence for the EFSF and for the future European Stability Mechanism would reduce risk premiums and refinancing costs for Spanish public debt? Does it plan to submit a proposal for this? What democratic control mechanisms would a European bank recapitalisation have? Does it believe that the European Central Bank should establish itself as the last-resort lender, thus removing any doubts in the domestic debt markets?

European Financial Stability Facility. In relation to the budget consolidation path, an extension of the EDP Excessive Deficit Procedure correction deadline by one year, i. All potentially useful ideas need to be debated and considered. Cyprus bezorgd over mogelijke Syrische vluchtelingen. Heeft de Commissie lering getrokken uit de vele bootjes met Noord-Afrikaanse vluchtelingen die op het Italiaanse eiland Lampedusa zijn aangekomen?

De Commissie staat klaar om Cyprus alle nodige steun te verlenen in het geval van een massale toestroom van personen die internationale bescherming behoeven.

Bovendien kan Cyprus te allen tijde verzoeken om steun van EU-agentschappen, met name het Europees Ondersteuningsbureau voor asielzaken. Cyprus is seriously concerned about a massive number of small boats containing Syrian refugees arriving on the island if the Syrian situation does not improve or deteriorates further. Has the Commission drawn lessons from the many North African refugees that arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa? If not, why not? If so, does the Commission therefore intend to prevent Syrian refugees from arriving.

The Commission follows with concern events in Syria and hopes for a rapid end of the violence and an inclusive, orderly and peaceful transition. The Commission stands ready to provide all necessary support to Cyprus in the event of large-scale flows of persons in need of international protection. It should also be recalled that Member States are bound to respect the principle of non-refoulement, so no person should returned to a third country where the person concerned might run the risk of ill-treatment or might be subject to further removal to territories in which he or she may run such a risk.

The communication refers to the high-level dialogue on migration with Latin America. Given that there is no specific paragraph dedicated to the region in this communication, can the Commission clarify the following:. The Council Conclusions also confirm that GAMM should adequately take into account the migrant's perspective, including a stronger involvement in the dialogue and cooperation with third countries of diaspora and migrant organisations. Since its establishment and throughout successive enlargements, the European Union has developed a complex network of provisions, treaties and initiatives aimed at improving and strengthening the protection afforded to citizens of Member States in health, education, and other areas.

The consequence will be a manifest deterioration in the educational model and the quality of teaching; furthermore, the number of students per class will increase, teachers who leave will not be replaced, grants to study at public universities will be subject to tighter conditions of eligibility, fees for higher education will be raised, and state investment in public education will fall. However, these massive cuts apparently do not affect more peripheral activities like bullfighting.

Does the Commission have any evidence that EU funds have been used to finance bullfighting-related activities? It is the Commission policy not to comment on a matter which is solely for the national authorities concerned. The Commission is not aware of any co-financed operation relating to bullfighting activities. Under the Lisbon Treaty, the European Union is committed to a number of basic principles, among them animal welfare. This is therefore a fresh animal welfare initiative, starting with the rehabilitation of horses in order to reactivate and promote the most ecological forms of tourism.

Does the Commission think it feasible to provide EU funding for rural development measures aimed at promoting animal welfare and sustainable tourism as described? What animal welfare initiatives or activities has the Commission developed during and the first few months of ? The rural development programme of the Spanish region of Galicia contains a measure aiming at improving animal welfare.

The selection of the beneficiaries of support under this measure is a competence of the managing authority of the programme. In , the Commission adopted a report. Ryanair und Beihilfeverfahren Flughafen Hahn. Wie die Zeitung Rheinpfalz in ihrer Ausgabe vom Seit wann laufen die Beihilfeverfahren gegen den Flughafen Hahn, und welche anderen Ryanair-Ziele sind von Beihilfeverfahren betroffen? Welche Beihilfeverfahren im Zusammenhang mit Ryanair sind seit und wann abgeschlossen worden? For many years, Ryanair and the airports to which it flies have been suspected of receiving, or profiting from, illegal state subsidies.

Is the Commission aware of these remarks and accusations, and if so what is its response? When were the proceedings concerning state subsidies initiated against Hahn Airport and what other Ryanair destinations are the subject of such proceedings? What are the reasons for the years of delays in the proceedings concerning the granting of subsidies? What proceedings concerning the granting of subsidies which are linked to Ryanair have been concluded since and when? The Commission is aware of these remarks, but has no intention to comment them as its task is to ensure the respect of state aid law, thereby promoting fair conditions for effective competition in the aviation sector, regardless of the business model, pursued by any given operator.

The cases are complex: The Commission has engaged an external expert in several cases to analyse whether the agreements between the airports and the airlines were concluded on market terms. Il-Kummissjoni kkuntattjat lill-awtoritajiet Maltin permezz ta' ittri darbtejn fl fir-rigward tal-kwistjonijiet imsemmija hawn fuq. EU citizens residing in Malta who are not Maltese nationals receive higher utility bills than Maltese nationals residing in Malta. This is because reductions on utility bills are being granted to citizens residing in Malta, regardless of their nationality. This administrative procedure has led to a situation whereby a number of non-Maltese nationals are paying higher utility rates.

What action is the Commission taking to ensure that there is no discrimination, direct or indirect, in relation to utility tariffs in Malta? The Commission has received a number of complaints from Union citizens residing in Malta concerning a lack of access to reduced water and electricity tariffs. The Commission contacted the Maltese authorities by letters twice in in relation to the abovementioned issues. In these letters, the Commission invited the Maltese authorities to reply to a list of questions concerning, among other issues, the tariffs charged to EU citizens, the availability of the reduced tariffs to Maltese citizens and the Maltese permanent residence scheme.

The Maltese authorities replied to the Commission's letters. According to the information provided, the Maltese authorities have now changed their practice. Ir-rikonoxximent tal-kwalifiki professjonali hu pedament importanti fis-suq intern. The recognition of professional qualifications is an important cornerstone of the internal market. According to the Professional Qualifications Directive, professionals may pursue their profession in any Member State regardless of the country in which they obtained their qualifications. In Malta recognition of qualifications is carried out through the Malta Qualifications Council.

Is the Commission aware of a number of cases whereby professionals have encountered difficulties in getting their qualifications recognised by the Maltese authorities? Can the Commission confirm whether the administrative procedures adopted by the Maltese authorities are fully in line with the provisions of the Professional Qualifications Directive? The Commission is examining two complaints concerning the recognition procedure in Malta. One complaint relates to teaching and another one to the profession of dental technician.

The Commission has not received other complaints relating to the recognition of professional qualifications in Malta. In general, Malta adopted the necessary laws and regulations in order to comply with the Professional Qualifications Directive. At present, the Commission services have launched enquiries with the Maltese authorities on certain professions veterinarians, environmental consultants.

Fi Frar , il-Kummissjoni talbet lill-awtoritajiet Maltin biex itemmu din il-prattika. This deadline has now lapsed. Given that the two-month deadline has expired, can the Commission confirm whether it has received a reply from the Maltese authorities? Is the Commission fully satisfied with the reply it has received and will it terminate the infringement procedure? Will the Maltese authorities still deduct any civil servant pensions received from other Member States from Maltese old age pension entitlements?

Can the Commission also confirm whether the Maltese authorities may deduct any other pensions from the Maltese old age pension entitlements? The Commission has not yet received the official reply by Malta to the Reasoned Opinion concerning the infringement procedure on the deduction of old-age pensions. However, at the request of the Commission, the Maltese authorities announced that this reply would arrive shortly. Queste due uccisioni si sono sommate alle quattro avvenute nelle settimane precedenti: In un paese come il Messico, che ogni giorno combatte contro la piaga del narcotraffico e del crimine organizzato, rappresenta un fattore molto grave che mette in luce come i boss possano agire come vogliono contro chi lede i loro interessi.

In questo senso il corpus legislativo messicano offre un quadro positivo e adeguato: These two murders followed four others that had occurred in the previous weeks: Hence, in a single month six journalists involved in reporting organised crime were killed because of their work. In a country like Mexico, which is engaged in a daily battle against drug trafficking and organised crime, these serious events highlight how crime bosses take action against those who harm their interests.

Killing journalists not only destroys human lives, it also suppresses the right to information in a country that desperately needs it. What actions and measures can be taken to ensure the protection and safety of people who risk their lives reporting on organised crime in Mexico? With a view to improving the security of journalists, the European External Action Service EEAS has been encouraging and supporting Mexican efforts in two main directions: The Mexican legislative corpus offers a positive and sufficient framework in this sense: Indeed the EEAS now intends to focus its action on monitoring and supporting the effective implementation of the Mexican legal framework.

It will do so by mobilising the different instruments at its disposal: Le cause dell'esplosione, che ha fatto tremare molti palazzi del centro della capitale keniota, non sono ancora chiare. La polizia ha parlato, in un primo tempo, di un guasto elettrico. Il primo ministro keniano ha invece parlato di un atto di terrorismo.

Una donna, rimasta ferita nell'esplosione, avrebbe detto di aver visto un uomo lasciare una borsa su uno scaffale di un negozio, poco prima dell'esplosione. L'UE non intende prendere provvedimenti al fine di garantire la sicurezza dei numerosi turisti europei che ogni anno decidono di trascorrere le vacanze in Kenia? Spetta principalmente agli Stati membri fornire consigli di viaggio e assistenza consolare ai cittadini dell'UE. At least 30 people have been injured — including 10 with serious injuries — following a violent explosion in Nairobi city centre. The cause of the explosion that rocked several buildings in the Kenyan capital is still unclear.

Police initially blamed it on an electrical glitch but the Kenyan Prime Minister has now described it as an act of terrorism. A woman injured in the blast said she saw a man leaving a bag on a shelf in a shop just before the explosion. Nairobi and the port of Mombasa have been the target of repeated bombings since last October, when Kenya sent troops and aircraft to Somalia to combat the militant Islamic group al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen. News of the blast was reported immediately by the Somali guerrillas via their website although they did not claim responsibility for it.

It is likely that at least some of these attacks are perpetrated by affiliates of Al-Shabab or similar extremist groups, but this is not proven in the case of all such attacks. Providing travel and consular advice for EU citizens is primarily a responsibility for Member States. The EU regularly raises security concerns in its dialogue with Kenyan authorities given the numbers of EU citizens potentially at risk. Gli studiosi hanno esposto alcune femmine gravide di ratto alla vinclozolina, un comune fungicida usato in agricoltura e orticoltura, di cui sono noti alcuni gravi effetti sul sistema endocrino sia in alcune specie animali sia nell'essere umano.

Inevitabile, dati i risultati, rivolgere l'attenzione alle possibili analogie con l'uomo e alla contaminazione ambientale diffusa in molte parti del mondo. They observed an excessive reaction to stress in some rats following the exposure of previous generations to a particular substance. The researchers exposed some pregnant rats to vinclozolin, a common fungicide used in agriculture and horticulture, which is already known to have a number of serious effects on the endocrine system in some animal species and in humans.

The researchers then carried out behavioural tests on the third generation of rats and noted that the animals seemed more anxious and sensitive to stress compared to the control group of rats whose forebears had not been exposed to the substance.

This data was then confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging of activity in the brain areas connected to the stress response. Given these findings, attention turns inevitably to possible analogies with humans and the pollution of the environment which is widespread in much of the world. According to the research findings, vinclozolin can also have a trans-generational effect on epigenetic processes which regulate the expression of genes, and so influence, for example, the way in which rats choose their mate. The findings thus seem to cast light on a new level of biological influence affecting not only behaviour but also, potentially, mental disorders.

Is the Commission aware of the research conducted by the American researchers on vinclozolin? In the Commission has already lowered several maximum residue levels MRLs for vinclozolin, which were not safe according to an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority.

In the context of this review the few remaining MRLs for vinclozolin are also being evaluated. Il dipendente ha riferito alla polizia che aveva ricevuto una telefonata di un amico di Continanza, preoccupato dal fatto di avere cercato numerose volte di comunicare con l'uomo ma inutilmente.

Al momento attuale, non sono state rese disponibili ulteriori informazioni. An Italian national has been found dead in a Dominican Republic hotel. He had a cloth belt around his neck. According to statements made by a police spokesman published on local websites, forensic experts are trying to determine the circumstances of his death. How does she intend to guarantee the safety of the many European citizens in the Dominican Republic, many of whom are tourists?

According to information received, the Embassy stays in contact with the family. The investigation is conducted by the Dominican authorities in view of elucidating the circumstances of the death. No additional information has been made available as this stage. The Dominican Republic is one of the most popular European tourist destinations in the Caribbean. The level of security is comparable with other countries of the region. Un duro colpo per quanti, nel pubblico come nel privato, si avvalgono oggi di migliaia di braccia e teste volenterose a basso costo, o come spesso accade completamente gratis.

This is a heavy blow for those in both the public and private sector who currently benefit from all those people volunteering as cheap or, as often happens, completely free labour. In Italy, work experience has been transformed from a traineeship aimed at introducing young people into the world of work to an ordeal of shameless exploitation, where people work hard and earn little or nothing. According to the latest survey, over half of internships Is the Commission aware of this and if so, can it provide more information on the resolution on the Youth Opportunities Initiative?

The Commission is aware of cases where traineeships replace jobs instead of helping young people in their education to work transition. The Commission proposal will be developed on the basis of the responses to this consultation. The Commission does not intend to create a European register of interns for the time being. Salvaguardia degli stock ittici europei. Per quanto riguarda l'Europa, in particolare, la perdita economica potrebbe arrivare a 10 miliardi di euro entro il La Commissione ritiene che le nuove tecnologie contribuiscano a migliorare il controllo della pesca e che i marcatori genetici possano fornire informazioni sulla provenienza e le specie anche dopo un trattamento.

One of the main problems is that there is no way to prove exactly where a given fish came from; in some circumstances for example, when already cooked ; it is impossible even to determine the species. Efforts to protect European fish stocks may now have an additional tool to rely on: With this method, a batch of fish can be identified by comparing certain markers against those held in a database. The method has been effective on four common European species — the Atlantic cod, the Atlantic herring, the common sole and the hake — which are all threatened by overfishing and illegal, untraced and unregulated fishing.

It is also a flexible system: Whether any other fish-stock protection projects or studies have been carried out with EU funding in Member States? The Commission believes that new technologies contribute to improve fisheries control and that genetic markers can provide information on the provenance and species even after some form of processing. It is important to underline that the new technologies, beyond the improvement of the control acivity by national authorities, can also become a very powerful tool to involve European consumers in our common effort to ensure sustainable fisheries.

The information provided by the new technologies can, for example, allow consumers to make better informed choices about the fish they buy, including the origin of the fish, the type of fishery or aquaculture and where they were produced. New technologies can also enhance control by changing the focus from traditional-style and generally expensive port or on-board inspection into much more efficient audit-like data analysis to detect suspected illegalities.

The common fisheries policy reform will continue to reinforce the use of new technologies for control. In sostanza, viene ipotizzata una causa ben poco naturale per i movimenti sismici di questi giorni. Insomma, il tutto sarebbe riconducibile ad un particolare termine tecnico: Many scientists, engineers and experts believe that the earthquakes rocking the Emilia-Romagna region could to a large extent be attributable to fracking, a technique used to create fractures in the subsoil when conducting gas explorations. In essence, their hypothesis is that the recent seismic activity is not due to natural causes but to an unnatural one.

In spite of the recent devastating earthquakes, the oil company believes that the area has a low risk of earthquakes and insists on carrying out the project. The area concerned has never in fact been classified as being prone to earthquakes, which is further fuelling suspicions as to what is happening. In short, the whole situation appears to be attributable to fracking, which involves injecting large volumes of water and chemicals — usually containing secret industrial compounds and carbon dioxide — into the ground. This causes underground explosions and subsequent fractures, thereby making it possible to detect the presence of gas deposits.

The French Government has banned the use of fracking in oil prospecting precisely because of seismic disturbances. The US state of Vermont has imposed a similar ban. In view of the above, does the Commission believe that research into fracking should be stepped up and funded through the Seventh Framework Programme FP7 or the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme. Induced seismicity is predominantly of very low magnitude and not destructive, although it can in rare cases be felt by the local population. However, in the area of geothermal energy FP7 supports research to better understand the mechanisms of induced seismicity and its possible environmental impacts, and to investigate ways to mitigate its occurrence.

The Commission has nevertheless initiated work to assess whether the level of human health and environmental protection provided by the existing EU legislation, including as regards hydraulic fracturing, is appropriate, and whether or not additional measures at EU level are needed. Sicurezza delle autovetture elettriche.

Uno schianto violentissimo tra una vettura di grossa cilindrata e un taxi elettrico avvenuto in Cina ha provocato tre vittime e innescato un vero e proprio processo sulla sicurezza delle vetture a batteria. La Commissione ha ad esempio adottato nell'aprile il regolamento UE n. Sono inoltre in corso lavori, sempre nell'ambito di UNECE, per sviluppare norme di sicurezza internazionale relative alle batterie dei veicoli elettrici. La Commissione lavora a stretto contatto con il Giappone e con altri partner internazionali per adottare queste norme entro la fine del A high-speed crash between a powerful sports car and an electric taxi in China has claimed three victims and sparked an enquiry into the safety of battery-powered cars.

The accident took place in Shenzhen. The taxi promptly burst into flames, as shown in mobile phone footage taken immediately after impact. The entire Chinese media are discussing the questions that the case raises about the reliability of lithium-ion batteries. The car manufacturer has offered its assurances that the model has passed all crash tests, including specific fire tests. The risk is in fact that lithium-ion batteries can explode if they reach very high temperatures. It is precisely for this reason that the cars are protected by cages of high-strength materials capable of absorbing the force generated by heavy impacts.

What happened in China is by far the worst incident in the recent history of the electric car. Yet it is not the only one. Several months ago, US transport authorities placed some cars under observation with a request to make structural changes to increase battery protection. In view of the above, can the Commission state whether a procedure is planned for standardised tests in the Member States and, if so, does it not consider it essential to introduce more stringent crash tests to ensure greater safety for European consumers?

Ensuring the safety of vehicles, also for those with new powertrain technologies, is a constant concern for the Commission. Particularly on safety, several regulatory measures have already been taken in order to ensure that electric vehicles are at least as safe as conventional ones. In addition, work is currently underway, still within the UNECE to develop international safety standards for the electric vehicle batteries. The Commission works closely with Japan and other international partners in order to adopt such standards before the end of The aim is to promote international regulatory harmonisation and in particular to adopt a Global Technical Regulation on safety requirements for electric vehicles and their components by Arrivano sulle coste californiane i tonni contaminati in seguito al disastro di Fukushima.

Al fine di stabilire la portata del danno ecologico e stabilire quali siano le specie colpite, i ricercatori stanno esaminando anche altri animali acquatici autoctoni della zona. I principali paesi importatori erano Italia, Spagna e Germania. I principali paesi importatori erano Italia e Germania. Tuna caught off the Californian coast has been discovered to be contaminated due to the Fukushima disaster. The fish contain much higher traces of radioactivity than those caught in These are radioactive isotopes that are produced inside the reactor during the nuclear fission of uranium.

The phenomenon occurs because Pacific Ocean tuna spawn in Japanese waters before migrating to American shores, particularly the coasts of California and Mexico. In order to assess the extent of ecological damage and determine which species have been affected, researchers are examining other aquatic animals native to the area.

Whether any Member States import food products, particularly tuna, from California? The main importing countries were Italy, Spain and Germany. The main importing countries were Italy and Germany. The Commission official continues as follows: Could the Commission confirm that it observes strict neutrality in the event of national elections in any Member State, as required by its institutional role? It is Commission policy not to comment on articles appearing in the press.

The Commission respects the democratic process of national elections in any Member State. In its proposal to reform the common agricultural policy CAP , the Commission recommends the abolition of milk and sugar quotas between now and , and of wine plantation rights in Does the Commission intend to take the report published by the Committee of the Regions into consideration in order to improve proposals regarding the reform of the CAP?

Has the Commission carried out an evaluation on the economic, social and environmental consequences of such abolitions in all the Member States, particularly in disadvantaged areas with a so-called. This report will constitute an important element in the finalisation of the discussion on the Commission proposals to reform the CAP.

An analysis of the impacts of the abolition of sugar quotas has been in particular included in this Impact Assessment. Hoge tarieven voor mobiele telefonie — Grote verschillen tussen lidstaten. Blijkbaar blijft de concurrentie op de Belgische mobieletelefoniemarkt ondermaats en slaagt de consument er niet in om uit een kluwen van ontransparante tariefstructuren het voordeligste aanbod te halen. In sommige lidstaten betaalt men meer dan 4 keer zoveel voor hetzelfde telefoongebruik. De Belgische regering kondigt intussen aan de contractduur te beperken tot zes maanden en aldus een einde te maken aan de opzeggingskosten waarmee klanten geconfronteerd worden als zij van operator willen veranderen.

Kan de Commissie meedelen welke initiatieven ze kan nemen om de concurrentie verder aan te moedigen zodat consumenten hieruit voordeel halen? Heeft de Commissie beste praktijken kunnen identificeren die verdere verspreiding verdienen? Op welke manier draagt de Commissie er toe bij om regulatoren te begeleiden bij het nemen van maatregelen die de concurrentie op de telecommarkten ten goede komen en welke specifieke aanbeveling heeft de Commissie ten aanzien van de Belgische regulator?

De Commissie blijft nauw samenwerken met de nationale regelgevende instanties om ervoor te zorgen dat de markten beter functioneren. Het doel daarvan is meer concurrentie en meer voordelen voor de eindgebruikers. De verstrengde Europese telecomregels inzake nummeroverdraagbaarheid, dit is de mogelijkheid om van telecomaanbieder te veranderen en daarbij hetzelfde telefoonnummer te behouden, is nog een instrument om de concurrentie aan te moedigen.

Een ander belangrijk instrument om de concurrentie in de mobiele markten te versterken is een concurrentiebevorderend spectrumbeleid. Op de naleving van deze verplichting wordt nauwgezet toegezien door de Commissie. Een verdere verbetering van het Belgische concurrentielandschap wordt verwacht na de recente veiling van een vierde 3G-licentie, waardoor een nieuwe speler Telenet de markt betreedt.

Ten slotte moet de recente liberalisering van de koppelverkoop, met mobiele toestellen, de concurrentie mee helpen aanzwengelen. Apparently, competition on the Belgian mobile telephony market remains poor and the consumer is not able to extract the most advantageous offer from the tangle of non-transparent tariff structures.

A survey carried out by the European Consumer Organisation BEUC in showed that there is a very large difference in charges for mobile telephony and text messaging in the various Member States. In some Member States, consumers pay more than four times as much for the same telephone use. The Belgian Government has since announced that contract duration will be limited to six months, thus putting an end to cancellation fees with which customers are confronted when they wish to change operators.

However, Belgium is certainly not the only Member State in which there is still a large margin for further price reductions. Can the Commission indicate what initiatives it can take to further encourage competition so that consumers can get the best deals? Has the Commission identified best practices that deserve to be applied more widely? In what manner is the Commission contributing to guiding regulators in taking measures that will benefit competition in the telecom markets and what specific recommendations does the Commission have in relation to the Belgian regulator?

In particular, how can it be ensured that the reduction of termination tariffs is also passed on to the consumer? The Commission continues to work closely together with the National Regulatory Authorities NRAs to ensure that markets function better. The reinforced EU telecom rules on number portability, i. Another key instrument to enhance competition in mobile markets is a pro-competitive spectrum policy. Further progress in competition in Belgium is expected following the recent auction of a fourth 3G licence which resulted in a new player, Telenet, entering the market.

Telenet is under the obligation to start delivering services from the beginning of Moreover, mobile virtual network operators MVNOs are active in the market and are gaining market share with their innovative offers. Finally, the recent liberalisation of tied offers, including devices, should further contribute to increasing competition. Verkiezingskandidatuur van commissaris De Gucht. De gedragscode voor commissarissen bepaalt dat commissarissen zich verkiesbaar mogen stellen en een actieve rol in een verkiezingscampagne mogen spelen op voorwaarde dat zij hun werkzaamheden voor de Commissie gedurende de hele periode dat zij actief betrokken zijn bij de campagne en ten minste voor de duur daarvan opschorten.

Beschouwt de Commissie de aankondiging van de kandidatuur van de commissaris als het begin van diens campagne? Voorts bepaalt de gedragscode dat commissarissen geen enkele publieke functie mogen uitoefenen. Commissaris De Gucht heeft Commissievoorzitter Barroso evenwel ervan in kennis gesteld dat hij voornemens is bij de aanvang van de verkiezingscampagne bekend te maken dat hij er niet naar streeft om herverkozen te worden als burgemeester van Berlare, dat hij geen actieve rol in de campagne zal spelen en dat hij voornemens is zijn mandaat als lid van Commissie te blijven vervullen.

Zoals reeds is medegedeeld, is commissaris De Gucht niet voornemens om actief deel te nemen aan de campagne. In het kader van deze campagne mag hij geen gebruik maken van personele of andere middelen van de Commissie. De Commissie bevestigt dat commissarissen geen openbare functie van welke aard ook mogen uitoefenen.

Volgens de toepasselijke wetgeving is dit het geval voor de functie van lid van de Gemeenteraad. The Code of conduct for Commissioners stipulates that a Commissioner is allowed to stand for election and to play an active role in an election campaign, on the condition that the person in question withdraws from the work of the Commission for the entire period of active implication and at least for the duration of the campaign. If so, will the Commissioner withdraw from his Commission work immediately in line with the code of conduct? If not, can the Commission indicate why not, and at what point the Commissioner in question will be required to withdraw from such work?

Furthermore, the code of conduct stipulates that Commissioners may not exercise any public functions of any kind. However, Commissioner de Gucht informed President Barroso that he intends to announce, as from the outset of the election campaign, that he is not seeking reelection as Mayor of Berlare, that he will not play an active role in the election campaign and that he intends to continue to fulfil his mandate as Member of the Commission. As previously stated, Commissioner De Gucht does not intend to participate actively in the campaign.

He may not use any human or other Commission resource in the framework of this campaign. The Commission confirms that Commissioners may not exercise any public function of whatever kind. This is the case for the function of member of the Municipal Council Gemeenteraad under the applicable law. All those who commit crimes against humanity, whether in their own country or another, whether in power or in rebellion can and will be brought to justice. This is the least that the victims of such crimes deserve. It has been a strong supporter of the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

How does it expect competitiveness and investments in Greece to be strengthened when such high tax rates are in force? Greece has implemented a number of tax reforms in order to respond to its compelling consolidation needs in recent years. Following revenue-raising motivations, increases in both the standard and reduced VAT rates have been very frequent across EU Member States. The economic literature recognises that consumption taxes are less detrimental to growth than direct taxes. Complementary measures to enhance the business environment and investment are envisaged in the National Reform Programme submitted by the Greek Government.

Overall, the Commission considers that the need to put public finances on a sustainable path does not contradict the long term underlying objective of restoring competitiveness and growth, which is reflected in the types of tax reforms recently implemented in Greece. In line with statements made by the Commission in recent days, it would be advisable to conduct an immediate audit of the electricity sector, overseen by the Commission, to ascertain where these inefficiencies lie. Does the Commission think that Spain should be required to audit its electricity sector to pinpoint inefficiencies?

However, it is up to Spain to choose measures to implement the recommendation. These short term measures should be followed by an in-depth reform of the electricity sector including the revision of the regulated tariff system ensuring that tariffs reflect market prices and a review of the renewables support scheme. The reform of energy sector in Spain should be oriented to ensure in the long run the economic feasibility of the electricity activities and a stable and certain legal framework for investors. Hemos tenido la oportunidad de debatir bilateralmente este asunto.

Photovoltaic producers who made an investment under a remuneration scheme that promised a tariff must have the return on their investment guaranteed, in the same way that an investor buying a bond from United Kingdom must have a guaranteed rate of return. However, the retroactive measures taken by the Kingdom of Spain clearly give it an unfair advantage over the other EU countries, which have not allowed retroactive measures against EU citizens.

What measures does the Commission plan to take to prevent new retroactive rules being made in the Kingdom of Spain against photovoltaic producers? Honourable Member, we had the opportunity to discuss this issue bilaterally. Los datos de esa autoridad son los siguientes:. The white pine tree has been the main species affected since its young age means natural regeneration cannot be guaranteed.

How could the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development aid natural regeneration and restoration of the damaged area in the province of Tarragona? This support covers the planting of new trees and the introduction of appropriate prevention actions creation of forest firebreaks; establishment of protective infrastructures; preventive forestry practices such as vegetation control, thinning and diversification of vegetative structure.

The selection of the specific projects to be funded under this measure falls under the responsibility of the Managing Authority of the program, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity governing the implementation of Rural Development Programs. The contact details of the Managing Authority are the following:. L'UE ogni anno assegna il titolo di Capitale europea dello sport. Il premio di Capitale europea dello sport funge da stimolo, per le amministrazioni locali e le associazioni presenti sul territorio, a soddisfare una fondamentale e determinante realizzazione delle basi che contribuiscono a migliorare il livello generale di salute degli abitanti di un paese, attraverso la cultura del sano esercizio fisico.

In view of the role sport plays as a means of improving individuals' physical wellbeing and their overall quality of life, as well as promoting an inclusive society, an ethical commitment is required of cities awarded this title. The European Capital of Sport award acts as an incentive for local authorities and their sports departments to play an instrumental role in improving their community's general level of health by promoting physical exercise as one of the basics of a healthy lifestyle.

European Capitals of Sport are responsible for developing the facilities and introducing the good practice models that will enable sport to foster the inclusion of society's more disadvantaged groups, such as disabled persons, older persons, young people in difficulties and migrants. The cities that have been awarded the title of European Capital of Sport stand as positive examples of an ethical approach to social policy that should also be applied to strategies, programmes and measures in other areas.

European cities should view this initiative as a common project providing a formal framework for promoting ethical values. Can it provide further information on how cities can apply to become a European Capital of Sport? However, the European Commission is not involved in the selection process and the management of the European Capital of sport initiative and therefore is not in a position to provide the Honourable Member with the requested information.

Cellule cardiache a misura di paziente. Dalle cellule della pelle si possono estrarre cellule cardiache sane: Uno studio israeliano sostiene infatti l'efficacia di una nuova tecnica, messa a punto nei laboratori. Non si tratta della prima terapia sperimentale volta a ricostruire le aree cardiache danneggiate da un infarto, ma la vera innovazione sta nel punto di partenza. I ricercatori, infatti, hanno utilizzato cellule epiteliali di due pazienti precedentemente colpiti da infarto per generare cellule cardiache compatibili con il cuore stesso dei donatori.

Questi ultimi, come hanno chiaramente definito due studi del , sono in grado di fatto di riportare indietro l'orologio biologico delle cellule umane, facendole regredire a uno stadio indifferenziato paragonabile a quello embrionale. Grazie a questo procedimento sono state ottenute delle cellule staminali indotte pluripotenti che sono state fatte differenziare poi in cellule cardiache vere e proprie. Molti sono gli ostacoli da superare: Inoltre, lo sviluppo delle cellule cardiache partendo da quelle epiteliali richiede due settimane di tempo, impedendo un intervento immediatamente successivo all'infarto.

Healthy heart cells can be extracted from skin cells. This is the latest frontier in stem cell research and gives new hope to people with heart damage. This is not the first experimental treatment to be used to reconstruct sections of the heart damaged by a heart attack, but the real innovation is the starting point.

The researchers used epithelial cells from two heart attack patients to generate heart cells compatible with their own hearts. Scientists took epithelial tissue cells from two patients aged 51 and 61 and reprogrammed them to make them immature by infecting them with a virus containing three pluripotent genes. As was clearly established by two studies in , these genes can actually reverse the biological clock of human cells, returning them to a state comparable to their embryonic state.

As a result, pluripotent stem cells were obtained, which were then differentiated into proper heart cells. There are many obstacles to overcome. The first one is that stem cells may cause tumours once they have been injected into a specific organ. Furthermore, it takes two weeks to cultivate heart cells from epithelial cells, which prevents immediate action following a heart attack. Given the importance of this research and the need to develop it, does it not agree that Seventh Framework Programme FP7 or Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme funding should be made available?

This work falls into the category of regenerative medicine, which is well supported by the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development FP7, Specific activities in heart regeneration that have been supported so far include the following projects:.

In line with the decision on the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme CIP , this programme does not support this kind of research. Per poter guidare all'estero, i cittadini europei sono oggi soggetti a regole differenti a seconda che si rechino, per periodi di breve soggiorno o per stabilirvi la propria residenza, in paesi membri o paesi extra UE. In order to be able to drive abroad, European citizens are currently subject to different rules depending on whether they are going to Member States or to non-EU countries either for short stays or to take up residence.

Have any non-EU countries signed reciprocal agreements with Member States on the conversion of driving licences? Vaccinazione genetica per curare i tumori. Nuovi studi riguardanti terapie contro i tumori mediante la vaccinazione genetica antitumorale sono stati condotti da un laboratorio di Immunologia Molecolare di Trieste.

Il gruppo di ricercatori ha iniziato a lavorare con uno dei modelli sui linfomi a cellule B che hanno una particolare caratteristica: Si tratta di vaccini che hanno l'obiettivo di essere curativi. I settori terapeutici considerati comprendono la vaccinazione, la terapia basata sugli anticorpi e sulle cellule, la scoperta di farmaci e lo studio della loro resistenza, la chemioterapia e la radioterapia.

A molecular immunology laboratory in Trieste carried out a new study on treating tumours with an anti-cancer genetic vaccination. The study involved a DNA vaccination clinical trial for lymphoma caused by the malignant transformation of B lymphocytes. The research group started working with a particular B-cell lymphoma model, where all the cancerous cells have a particular surface protein that is unique to, and characteristic of, cancerous cells. These vaccines that aim to provide a cure. This approach is being used for lymphoma, but can be transferred to other tumour types since it involves laboratory engineering that can be used for other cancers, for example breast cancer.

Given the importance of the research and the need to develop it, does it consider that the Seventh Framework Programme FP7 or the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme should give funding? Although research on DNA vaccination for lymphoma has not been supported, research on other therapeutic approaches for lymphoma have been funded under the Sixth and Seventh Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development FP6, ; FP7, Therapeutic areas addressed include vaccination, antibody and cell therapy, drug discovery and resistance, chemo and radiotherapy.

In line with the decision on the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme CIP , this programme does not support such kind of research. Si tratta di una fonte energetica capace di concorrere alla crescita di un paese. Nel , invece, si potrebbe arrivare a quota otto miliardi di metri cubi. Un risultato raggiungibile evitando la competizione food — no food e in grado di garantire un crescente utilizzo di biomasse d'integrazione, come sottoprodotti agricoli, colture di secondo raccolto come triticale o mais di seconda semina , effluenti zootecnici, scarti agroindustriali, colture non alimentari.

Nella nuova PAC saranno inseriti provvedimenti per favorire la produzione di biometano? Spetta quindi agli Stati membri stabilire quali colture possano essere destinate alla produzione di biometano per ricevere contributi pubblici. Biomethane is a strategic source thanks to its programmability, efficiency and multiple uses: This is an energy source that can help a country to grow. Half of this could be used directly to produce electricity and heat in biogas plants, and the rest could be injected into the grid and used as fuel for transport, heating and high-yield cogeneration.

Will provisions to encourage biomethane production be included in the new common agricultural policy? Biomethane is a versatile renewable energy carrier which can be used for power generation, combined heat and power generation, heat generation, as a transport fuel and potentially also for the production of renewable hydrogen. Accordingly, it is also regulated at the level of Member States which feedstocks are allowed for making biomethane in order to receive public support.

Use of food and feed crops grown on purpose for biomethane may raise concerns about its sustainability, whereas the use of residues and waste can be considered to be best practice. It will allow to improve the management of its renewable biological resources and it can maintain and create economic growth and jobs and improve the economic and environmental sustainability of primary production. Reserva Natural de la Bioesfera. This model was largely responsible for the economic crisis from which Spain is now suffering, and it also represents a threat to current tourism in the area's unspoiled beaches.

Furthermore, the area of special environmental interest affected was declared a biosphere reserve by Unesco. Some of the natural sites affected are protected by European environmental legislation, such as the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive. The project's approval has met with strong opposition from citizens, who were not consulted or involved in the decision-making process, as provided for in the Aarhus Convention.

Moreover, the project does not fit within a model of sustainable, responsible and environmentally sensitive growth. Does the Commission not see a need to investigate this project to avoid breaches of EU environmental legislation? The Commission is aware of the issues raised by the Honourable Member, due to a recent complaint on the Valdevaqueros urbanization plan in Spain.

The Commission has requested further information from the competent Spanish authorities concerning the compliance of this plan with the relevant requirements under EU environmental law, including the Aarhus Convention. Cianobacterias en el Embalse de As Conchas. The Microcystis Aeruginosa detected produces the Microcystina toxin, which can cause serious health problems in large quantities and after long exposure, including destroying the liver.

In Sao Paulo Brazil , more than people have died as a result of the toxin. According to the World Health Organisation directives, the water was declared unfit for any use. This cyanobacterial bloom seems to be caused by the presence of phosphates and nitrates from fertilisers used in potato cultivation entering the river and from slurry and chemical fertiliser runoff from farms.

Has the Commission been told about this serious case of pollution by the Spanish authorities? Does it think that this is contravening the Water Framework Directive? Is it taking appropriate measures to deal with the situation? Should urgent measures be taken? The Commission is not aware of the case of pollution referred to by the Honourable Member. At this stage, the Commission cannot assess whether the requirements of WFD are being complied with, given that Spain has not submitted its river basin management plans RBMP.
