So, now you can see how a concept is translated in specific contexts. We are able to identify trustworthy translations with the aid of automated processes. The main sources we used are professionally translated company, and academic, websites. In addition, we have included websites of international organizations such as the European Union. Because of the overwhelming data volume, it has not been possible to carry out a manual editorial check on all of these documents.

So, we logically cannot guarantee the quality of each and every translation. We are working on continually optimizing the quality of our usage examples by improving their relevance as well as the translations. In addition, we have begun to apply this technology to further languages in order to build up usage-example databases for other language pairs. We also aim to integrate these usage examples into our mobile applications mobile website, apps as quickly as possible.

You will find the translations found for all senses of the headword under the tab "Usage Examples". The examples come from the entire data collection of the PONS Dictionary and are all editorially certified.

European Spanish Mexican Spanish delito de lesa humanidad. Verbrechen gegen die Menschheit. The form had had a certain currency as a learned, and generally secular, educational device in the sixteenth century, but its renewed applivation to private relisious study and its intermixture of Latin motto, biblical quotation, engraved and ostensibly enigmatic picture, and English poem made for a widespread influence which readily cut across confessional barriers. Francis Quarles's Emblemes, Divine and Morall proved to be the most popular book of verse of its age.

Quarles and his engraver took and, where Protestant occassion demanded, adapted plates from Jesuit emblem books; only the disappointingly pedestrian accompanying poems were original. Emblemes and its successor Hieroglyphicks of the Life of Man demand that the reader interpret and gradually unwind an idea which is expressed epigrammatically, visually, and poetically.

Where will her restless wheels arrive? The intellectual demands made on a reader by an emblem book were paralleled by the wit, the imaginative picturing, the compression, the often crytic expression, the play of paradoxes, and the juxtapositions of metaphor in the work of Donne and his immediate followers, the so-called 'metaphysical poets'. The use of the term 'metaphysical' in this context was first given critical currency by Samuel Johnson in the eighteenth century and it sprang from an unease, determined by 'classical' canons of taste, with the supposed contortions of the style and imagery of Donne and Cowley.

Johnson had a particular distaste for the far-fetched strained 'conceits' witty and ingenious ideas in which Donne's poetry abounds. This prejudice against the distinct 'metaphysical' style had earlier been shared by Quarles, who in complained of 'the tyranny of strong lines, which. The work of Donne's friend, admirer, and fellow-priest, George Herbert , possesses a restrained and contemplative rapture which is paralleled less by the extravagances of southern European baroque art than by the often enigmatic paintings of his French contemporary, Georges de la Tour.

Herbert's own 'itch of wit' can none the less find its expression in playing with the shapes and sounds of words: His relationship to the emblem book tradition is evident in his printing of certain of his poems as visual designs the shapes of 'The Altar' and the sideways printed 'Easter Wings' make patterns which suggest their subjects. If he is a less frenetic and startling poet than Donne, he is a far more searching and inventive one than Quarles.

The two poems called 'Jordan' from the fount of their inspiration describe the act of writing a sacred poetry which eschews a structural 'winding stair' and the 'curling with metaphors' of a 'plain intention'. As with his most influential models, the parables of Jesus, Herbert's illustrations of the central mysteries of God and his creation take the form of sharply observed but 'plain' stories drawn from, and illuminated by, everyday experience.

The elegance of Herbert's poetry is as much the result of art as it is an expression of a cultivated, but not forced, spiritual humility. He had been born into a distinguished and cultured noble family but his decision to take deacon's orders in , and his ordination to the priesthood and appointment as rector of a country parish in struck many of his grand contemporaries as a deliberate turning of his back on secular ambition.

According to Izaak Walton, Herbert responded to a friend who taxed him with taking 'too mean an employment, and too much below his birth' that 'the Domestick Servants of the King of Heaven, should be of the noblest Families on Earth'. In the case of tourism the situation is excellent, but Europeans living permanently in another Member State are in many respects in a more difficult position than normal.

One of the activities of society that needs to be looked at is taxation, which restricts the achievement of freedom of movement in practice. As a Member of the European Parliament I have received inquiries via Correspondence with the Citizen about situations in which people have found themselves subject to double taxation. For example, inherited property is taxed not only in the country where the citizen is officially registered, but also in the country where he is regularly resident.

This shows that of the four fundamental freedoms of the European Union, the free movement of citizens is lagging behind, for example, the free movement of capital. In the interest of the smooth running of the internal market, tax considerations are not allowed to hinder the movement of capital, but the situation of individual citizens is not of the same order. Is the Commission aware of the multiple taxation of EU citizens in respect of property and inheritance? Are there any plans to carry out a comparison to evaluate how well the EU's fundamental freedoms are functioning?

The Commission is aware that EU citizens may currently suffer multiple taxation in respect of property and inheritance. While those Member States with inheritance taxes usually allow some tax relief in respect of foreign inheritance taxes, the relief is often not comprehensive. EU citizens can obtain general information concerning taxation rules in cross-border situations on the Your Europe website.

This is a problem not only for small and medium-sized enterprises but also for large industries, which are confronted with fees much higher than those charged by non-EU authorities for their own industries.

This letter, which was supported by the entire EU industry small and large industries , appears to have been ignored by EASA. The ongoing discussion at EU level over whether to require EU agencies such as EASA to finance their own pension contributions might further aggravate this problem. How does the new EASA system of charging high fees for industry attendance at workshops for example the Design Organisation Approval workshops fit in with the EASA initiative to ensure better involvement of industry stakeholders in its activities?

What action does the Commission intend to take in this respect? The Agency regularly reviews its processes and infrastructure to identify efficiencies and streamline support activities. A study confirmed the level of support resources to be in line with the EASA's needs. A review of the EASA fees and charges regulation and its tariffs has been carried out over the last two years in cooperation with industry stakeholders.

New fee tables with cost-reflective tariffs have been developed, and their elaboration was agreed by the parties in principle and will be launched for adoption in the near future. The developments referred to are part of the wider revision process of the Commission's Staff Regulations. This process is still ongoing and the Commission is not in a position to comment on the possible outcome. The negotiation of bilateral aviation safety agreements is done for the purpose of supporting regulatory cooperation with countries where mutual trust has been established.

The organisation of events as referred to, is done for the purpose of ensuring a better understanding and involvement of industry stakeholders. Nuova base militare statunitense in provincia di Vicenza: Per quanto riguarda la Convenzione di Aarhus, la Commissione desidera informare l'onorevole parlamentare che l'istituzione di un centro di addestramento militare deve essere considerata un'iniziativa destinata a scopi di difesa nazionale. In addition to the main hub of Camp Ederle and various military installations, in the Italian Government authorised the construction of a second military base in Vicenza, at the Dal Molin civilian airport.

Could the Commission check whether the decision concerning the reopening of Site Pluto complied with all procedural requirements under existing legislation, including the Aarhus Convention which requires that for any decision being adopted, its purpose and nature, the authority concerned and the procedure required shall be made known in a transparent fashion so that citizens are duly able to be involved? Vicenza is a highly populated area, it has Unesco heritage status, and the Longare area is close to the Berici Hills, a site of Community importance SCI.

As for the Aarhus Convention, the Commission would like to inform the Honourable Member that the establishment of a military training centre is to be regarded as an activity serving national defence purposes. As such, and in conjunction with national law, this activity is outside the scope of the Aarhus Convention. The EIA Directive grants discretion to Member States not to apply its provisions for projects serving national defence purposes, which is the situation in this case.

Iniziativa Food Pillory della Repubblica Ceca: Il Ministero dell'Agricoltura della Repubblica Ceca ha recentemente inaugurato Food Pillory, un sito web in cui vengono segnalati alimenti potenzialmente dannosi per i consumatori e classificati in base a tre categorie: Vengono segnalati, ad esempio, alimenti con etichette errate o ingannevoli, alimenti avariati o manipolati. Un'iniziativa esemplare che mira alla tutela dei consumatori e alla massima trasparenza dell'offerta alimentare sul mercato. La Commissione non prevede di chiedere ai singoli Stati membri di realizzare iniziative analoghe.

The Czech Republic's Ministry of Agriculture has recently opened Food Pillory, a website on which foods that are potentially harmful to consumers are reported and classified according to three categories: For example, foods with incorrect or misleading labels are reported, as are rotten or adulterated foods. This is an exemplary initiative which aims to protect consumers and to provide the utmost transparency with regard to the food on the market. Could the Commission ask individual Member States to implement similar initiatives nationally?

The Commission, through the RASFF Rapid Alert System for Feed and Food portal already makes available to the public some information about the products that have been rejected at the border or found in the internal market representing a possible risk for public health. This information concern the risk posed, the type of product, the origin, the countries where the product has been distributed and the measures taken.

The Commission does not plan to ask individual Member States to implement similar initiatives. Armonizzazione dei pass per i disabili: Nonostante la raccomandazione del Consiglio dell'Unione europea n. Ha essa previsto una fase transitoria per permettere che non si incorra in sanzioni amministrative in attesa del rilascio del certificato europeo?

Occorre rilevare che le raccomandazioni del Consiglio non sono vincolanti e non costituiscono la base per comminare eventuali sanzioni agli Stati membri che non le seguono. La Commissione continua a promuovere l'adozione e l'utilizzo del modello europeo di contrassegno di parcheggio per i disabili. The Commission is aware that this is still not the case in Italy.

It should be noted that Council Recommendations are not binding and do not provide a basis for imposing any penalties on Member States that do not comply with them. The Commission continues promoting the adoption and use of the European model parking card for the benefit of persons with disabilities. The relevant rules governing the statistical classification of such receipts are the European System of Accounts ESA 95, paragraphs 4.

These rules are general and differences in specific national circumstances related to an economic and institutional setup of similar activities in Member States explain that there can be different statistical treatments. Is the Commission aware of this threat that results from the vulnerability of such machines and the software they use?

What steps will it take to remedy this situation and protect the privacy of users and the interests of transport companies? The EU has an established legal framework for the protection of personal data and privacy. Without prejudice to the powers of the Commission as guardian of the Treaties, the supervision and enforcement of the data protection legislation falls under the competence of national data protection authorities; in this case, the Spanish Data Protection Authority.

It is up to such authorities to monitor data controllers' compliance and, if appropriate, impose fines. The Commission intervenes only if the national authorities systematically fail to deliver the effective implementation of national law transposing the directive. We do not have evidence of such systematic failure. The Commission is aware of increasing risks in this area and has taken several actions to address them.

It has carried out a study on the implementation of the RFID Recommendation and will publish a report on this issue. Sin embargo, a mi juicio, estas cuestiones deben ser tratadas, no en el marco nacional, sino en el europeo comunitario. La pregunta se refiere al impuesto de sociedades. Despite their massive revenues, the large technological and Internet companies are paying practically no tax in European countries thanks to the existence of a complex network of subsidiaries and the particular nature of their accounting procedures.

For example, both the Apple subsidiary and Google Spain have declared losses running to hundreds of thousands of euros to the Spanish tax authorities, with the result that their tax returns are negative. While I am aware that a number of governments, for example in France, have been seeking to introduce a tax on the activities of these companies, it seems to me that such matters should be dealt at EU rather than national level.

What view does the Commission take of this? What measures would be appropriate to remedy this situation, particularly in view of the serious economic crisis we are currently facing? The question refers to corporate income tax. To the extent that the co-existence of 27 different tax systems may have the effect of hindering the functioning of the internal market, a legislative initiative or a coordination exercise could be considered.

It should be emphasised that Commission Services have already engaged in a debate with Member States on tax issues relating to e-commerce and notably on direct taxation of electronic activities in a territorial tax system. International taxation practice requires the existence of a permanent establishment of a foreign company, including Internet companies, before business activities in the territory of a state can be taxed.

The current structures used by Internet companies do not commonly qualify as permanent establishments under double taxation conventions. The Commission Services are carefully analysing different approaches for the purpose of addressing this issue in order to evaluate the feasibility of a coordinated action at EU level. El fin es proteger la actividad de los periodistas y los derechos de propiedad intelectual.

The German Government has sent Parliament a draft law governing the economic links between companies providing news-related Internet search services and the media. It is designed to protect the work of journalists and uphold intellectual property rights. This is a Europe-wide problem which needs to be addressed in a uniform manner throughout Europe. With this in mind, what steps does the Commission intend to take on this issue so as to guarantee adequate protection across the board, given that such action involves property as well as the right to reliable, high-quality news?

The Commission is aware of the German legislative initiative mentioned by the Honourable Member. It follows closely the developments pertaining to the question raised by the Honourable member, not only in Germany but also, for instance, in France where a similar approach is being discussed and may come under examination.

The viability of independent, high quality and professional written media is an important factor in European culture, pluralism and democracy. The Commission is also receptive to the current concerns about copyright protection of press works online and the preservation of high quality journalism. Copyright is indeed a key tool for creation and innovation in the digital as well as in the analogue environment.

At that time, the Commission said that it was carrying out a study. A year has now passed and I, as a member of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, have yet to be informed of the existence of any proposal or initiative. I once again ask the Commission why this situation is tolerated and why the principle of technological progress — which is so often mentioned in European anti-pollution rules — is not used as a basis for action? In this vein and in order to simplify the current legislative package for type-approval of such light vehicles, the current sound provisions will be repealed and replaced by four UNECE Regulations Nos.

The Commission has also adopted a new legislative package on roadworthiness inspections COM final which would, inter alia , make periodical roadworthiness testing of mopeds mandatory. These amendments should help Member States to better cope with road noise concerns. Los beneficios previstos incluyen una democracia eficaz, mejor justicia y mejor gobernanza. Is the Commission still of the same opinion, given the decline in respect for democratic freedoms and the violation of fundamental rights in Ukraine? What specific measures does the Commission intend to take to ensure that in the next elections in Ukraine, different political options can be put forward by leaders freely chosen by the various political parties?

This in turn is an important prospect for Ukrainian citizens to be assured of a future which is based on European values and standards in a whole range of areas that affect their daily lives. The expected benefits include a functioning democracy, better justice and better governance. They expressed regret that the consequences of the current situation will prevent two important leaders of the opposition — Yulia Tymoshenko and Yuryi Lutsenko — from standing in parliamentary elections following trials which did not respect international standards as regards fair, transparent and independent legal processes.

El urogallo y el control de su comercio.

The capercaillie, which is found in various European countries, is under threat of extinction. Two subspecies of this bird live in the Iberian peninsular, the Cantabrian capercaillie and the Pyrenean capercaillie. The Cantabrian capercaillie is most affected by the decline in numbers owing to, inter alia , the destruction of habitats as a result of human activity.

EUR-Lex Access to European Union law

The EU has responded to this situation by opposing the continued operation of open-cast mines in Spain, since they harm the habitat of a number of protected species including the capercaillie. The Commission has drawn up a proposal for a regulation on the protection of wild species of fauna and flora by means of trade controls, revising the text that has been in force since Is there a specific reason why the capercaillie should not be included on the list of species to be protected through trade controls?

Is there not a degree of inconsistency between existing Community legislation and this new proposal? The town of Krefeld and other towns and communes in the vicinity have been affected for many years by noise from planes taking this detour route. Will the deadline for the final establishment of the FABs, namely the end of , be met? What steps is the Commission taking in order to ensure that the SES II proposals can be implemented in full as soon as possible?

The preliminary findings of the Commission report on the implemenation of the Single Sky legislation. The Commission is currently urging Transport Ministers of all Member States to implement decisive corrective action. One concern which is frequently raised is an apparent delay or drag in the downward movement in petrol prices when the price of crude oil decreases. Has this specific issue been considered from an anti-competition perspective by the Commission? There are suggestions that there may be price collusion within very local areas, for example within a radius of just a few kilometres.

Has the Commission ever investigated this particular issue in the past? In particular, it will be looking at whether falling costs of crude oil have been reflected in consumer prices while, in addition, focusing on whether anti-competitive behaviour is occurring in rural areas. Would the Commission please confirm that it will monitor and follow the investigation that will now take place in the UK, and consider whether an investigation is warranted at European level?

Spain, Portugal have already investigated the asymmetries in the speed at which pre-tax retail prices adjust to variations in international fuel prices. The Commission has not specifically analysed this phenomenon so far, as it never had, either directly or via national investigations, any indication that it could have been the result of anticompetitive practices.

If it appears that price collusion may exist within very local areas, NCAs will normally investigate the issue under national competition law. This is because effect on trade between Member States may not be affected and the Commission may not have jurisdiction to apply European law. It will not hesitate to act, either itself or in coordination with the well-placed NCAs, if it receives sufficient information pointing to collusive behaviour of undertakings or abusive behaviour of individual companies in this sector.

Nucleaire controles ten gevolge van problemen in Doel 3. Heeft de Commissie weet van reacties uit andere lidstaten op deze problematiek? Indien ja, op welke manier? De Commissie is er niet van op de hoogte of in andere lidstaten soortgelijke inspecties worden uitgevoerd als door de Belgische autoriteiten. For the first time, an ultrasonic measurement technology was used to check the underlying material of the reactor vessel.

Thiange 2 nuclear power station, whose reactor vessel was supplied by the same manufacturers, is also being kept offline for the time being, for further inspection. Is the Commission aware of any responses from other Member States relating to this problem? Are any similar inspections whether or not with the same ultrasonic measuring technology currently being performed or planned in other Member States? Does the Commission intend to monitor or coordinate these measures?

Does the Commission itself intend to take action in Belgium? Or in other Member States? The Commission has no information on inspections in other Member States similar to those undertaken by the Belgian authorities. However, according to public domain information. Following this meeting, cooperation amongst the participant countries commenced through the creation of three expert groups, also with participation of the Commission, to discuss the available information.

Countries endeavour to protect, preserve and promote their world cultural heritage monuments not only with national resources, but also with funds from Unesco and community resources. Do these specific programmes make any provision for the creation of jobs subsidised by the Structural Funds in the field of culture and for the promotion of monuments of global cultural significance? This figure represents 2.

During the period, cultural projects are supported through the Greek regional and thematic programmes. The programmes contains indicators concerning job creation through the co-financed projects. The period is ongoing and those indicators will be evaluated at programme closure. According to recent Cedefop data, there has been a substantial rise in unemployment among the unskilled and those with lower educational qualifications. Can the Commission indicate how serious the problem is with regard to young people? What is the situation in Greece? Given that measures to remedy the problem of unemployment in this category to a certain extent depend on the upskilling and reskilling of the unemployed, will the Commission increase funding for this specific purpose?

Are increased funds in fact being earmarked for this purpose in the programmes being submitted by the Member States for Commission scrutiny? What is the situation with regard to Greece? The unemployment rates for persons with no educational qualification or only a primary or lower-secondary qualification Action to tackle youth unemployment includes reskilling or upskilling, support for a first job experience, subsidies for short-term placements in the private sector or local communities, and boosting of entrepreneurship. It has come to my attention that the United States still places individual European Union Member States on these lists, even as priority foreign countries.

In relation to the Member States, this suggests a means for the United States Trade Representative to influence, and fragment, the development of the internal market. What is the Commission currently doing to ensure that soft-law tools used by foreign governments do not end up hindering the prosperity and harmonisation of the single market? More specifically, what is the Commission doing to ensure that the Special Reports are not used to fragment the single market? The Commission is in close contact with its US counterparts where issues relating to intellectual property are regularly raised.

Repatriamento de capitais em Portugal. It should be emphasised that RERT III does not involve the public identification of infractors, nor is it concerned with establishing whether the amounts thus legalised were legally or illicitly obtained. Does the Commission not consider this to be an infringement of the directives on money-laundering, given that the system allows undeclared capital to be regularised without lifting banking secrecy or making enquiries as to the real beneficiaries of the capital and how it was acquired?

Does the Commission not consider it to be a violation of the principle of equality and other principles of law and justice enshrined in the Treaty on European Union, not to mention the most basic principle of fair taxation at national level, for a Member State to allow the recovery of a small percentage of unpaid tax to serve as a pretext for rewarding those who break tax rules, permitting them to legalise their situation without any type of penalty or sanction and thereby demonstrating that crime pays? The RERT III contains elements which encourage regularisation of the tax situation with respect to investments, but it does not include any provisions suggesting that such assets or the income derived therefrom, as declared under the present scheme, could be exempted from AML measures.

The Commission will present a more detailed Action Plan by the end of Policy-makers need to weigh up the revenues raised through a tax amnesty against other less positive effects, such as the fact that law-abiding taxpayers dislike seeing tax breaks given to fraudsters and that such amnesties might reduce future incentives to comply with tax law. The Commission considers that, in any case, amnesties need to be accompanied by a significant strengthening of enforcement efforts to ensure an improved compliance with tax laws in the future.

Member States must first improve their administration and enforcement mechanisms to improve their tax collection capacities and then deepen cooperation between Member States, and between Member States and third countries, and strengthen common tools. The Commission has no jurisdiction to collect the statistical information asked, which is a matter solely for the national authorities concerned.

The Commission understands that the Greek authorities have published relevant data on the following Internet site:. It is also still not clear why a decision was taken to install railings along the cycle path. This can include railing on cycling paths. However, the directive leaves the issues of the adoption or the application of standards on construction, or on the application of railings along cycling paths, to the competent road managing authorities.

Therefore, the Honourable Member should direct any questions on this topic to the national authorities. Zurzeit liegt die Entscheidung, eine Flugausfallversicherung auszugeben, lediglich bei den Fluggesellschaften. Already in several European airlines have ceased operations and applied to start insolvency proceedings. In such cases, passengers are offered neither an alternative flight nor a refund of the ticket price. At present, the decision as to whether to provide flight cancellation insurance lies solely with the airlines themselves.

Is the Commission thinking of introducing legislation requiring airlines which face insolvency to provide flight cancellation insurance? What are its reasons for taking, or not taking, such a step? The lack of consumer protection continues to be highlighted by the two recent European airline collapses within one week Spanair and Malev and a Commission impact assessment of passenger protection in the event of airline insolvency. Does the Commission agree that, by virtue of an airline being declared insolvent, its passengers are effectively being denied boarding? While aviation is an open and competitive market, the Commission is conscious of the impact that airline failure may have on flight only passengers.

This shows that the current legislation allows to deal adequately with bankruptcies. The Commission considers that measures — not necessarily of a legislative nature — must be put forward swiftly in order to ensure an implementation as fast as possible.

The Commission has the intention to come up with such measures in late or early Europos Komisija m. Komisija mano, kad m. If this unfavourable Protocol comes into force, are there plans to put any compensation mechanisms in place for those Member States that will suffer most as a result of the new requirements under the Protocol and lose their fishing capacities? The initialled Protocol is in line with the mandate from the Council and the principles therein, in particular regarding the use of the best available scientific advice and targeting only the surplus resources.

The fishing quotas correspond exactly to the wishes conveyed by the industry, with the exception of cephalopods, for which there is no surplus granted by Mauritania. The new Protocol was negotiated in full transparency and with the involvement of the stakeholders. In the light of data provided by the industry, the European Commission considers the new fishing opportunities profitable, viable and worth using.

Concerning accompanying measures for the fleets, Member States may decide to use the European Fisheries Fund to contribute to the financing of aid measures for the temporary or permanent cessation of fishing activities. If vessels continue their fishing operations under the new Protocol, no compensation mechanisms are foreseen. Beschadiging betonconstructie Tihange 2. In waren er vergelijkbare problemen, die men heeft proberen te herstellen.

Bij de controle dit jaar werd echter vastgesteld dat sommige reparaties niet voldoen aan de eisen. Momenteel wordt er een aangepast herstellingsplan opgesteld. Werd het omhulsel, en de staat van het beton, ook daadwerkelijk onderzocht in het kader van de stresstests? Indien ja, werden er toen gelijkaardige gebreken vastgesteld, en werd hieraan gevolg gegeven? De stresstestmethode, die is ontworpen op basis van de eerste lessen uit de Fukushima-ramp, was toegespitst op de adequaatheid van de bestaande veiligheidsmarges voor kerncentrales tegen het effect van extreme natuurlijke gebeurtenissen, namelijk aardbevingen, overstromingen en extreme weersomstandigheden.

In there were similar problems, and attempts were made to solve them.

Buy for others

However, during the inspection this year it was discovered that some of the repairs did not comply with requirements. At present, an altered remedial plan is being drafted. As the damage in question affects the containment, which is intended to protect the reactor against external threats, an inspection of the condition of the containment ought to form part of the stress tests.

Was the containment, and the condition of the concrete, also genuinely inspected as part of the stress tests? With regard to the state of the external containment of the Tihange-2 reactor, according to information made available by the Belgian regulatory authority, the results of visual inspections in led to a program for the repair of the concrete by the operator which is still ongoing. The stress tests method, which was designed on the basis of the first lessons learned from the Fukushima accident, focused on the adequacy of existing safety margins of nuclear power plants against the impact from extreme external events, namely earthquakes, flooding and extreme weather conditions.

According to the specifications of the stress tests, the reassessements concerned consisted in an evaluation of the response of a nuclear power plant when facing such extreme situations and a verification of the measures chosen following a defence-in-depth logic: Therefore, stress tests went beyond safety evaluations during the licensing process and periodic safety reviews.

Inwieweit hat die Kommission Kenntnis von der Tatsache, dass jahrelang radioaktiv verseuchtes Wasser aus dem Atomkraftwerk Tihange in die Maas geflossen ist? Die Entscheidung, Kernkraftwerke abzuschalten, wird auf einzelstaatlicher Ebene getroffen. Lesdits tests ont-ils pris la forme de tests physiques ou administratifs?

Grensoverschrijdend gevaar kerncentrales Tihange en Doel. In hoeverre is de Commissie op de hoogte van het feit dat jarenlang radioactief vervuild water uit de kerncentrale in Tihange in de Maas is gelekt? Zijn deze gebreken in de Europese stresstests aan het licht gekomen? Zijn de stresstests fysiek of administratief uitgevoerd? Kan de Commissie de checklists, protocollen en resultaten van de stresstests overleggen? Erkent de Commissie de gevaren voor nabijgelegen landen als Nederland, Duitsland en Luxemburg evenals voor de Maas?

Bevoegdheden buiten beschouwing latend, hoe beoordeelt de Commissie de veiligheid van kerncentrales Tihange en Doel met de nu beschikbare informatie? Mocht dit buiten de bevoegdheden van de Commissie vallen, is zij dan toch bereid hieromtrent aanbevelingen te doen, net als de Commissie doet bij pensioenbeleid dat formeel ook buiten haar bevoegdheden valt? Om een goed inzicht te krijgen in de visie van de Commissie, verzoek ik u de vragen stuk voor stuk te beantwoorden.

De stresstests zijn uitgevoerd in de vorm van zelfbeoordelingen door de exploitanten van de kerncentrales. De Commissie verwijst het geachte Parlementslid hiervoor naar haar antwoorden op vraag nr. Besluiten om kerncentrales te sluiten worden op nationaal niveau genomen. Is the Commission aware of the recent alarming reports about the Belgian nuclear power stations in Tihange and Doel?

Is the Commission aware that the outer concrete mantle of the Tihange 2 reactor is starting to show serious signs of decay? Has the Commission been informed about cracks in the walls of the Tihange 2 and Doel 3 reactor tanks? Is the Commission aware that for years radioactively contaminated water has been leaking out of the Tihange nuclear power station into the River Meuse?

Did the European stress tests bring these problems to light? If not, why not? Were the stress tests physical or administrative in nature? Did experts carry out tests on the spot? Can the Commission provide copies of the checklists used to carry out these stress tests, the official reports and the findings?

Does the Commission recognise the potential cross-border risks posed by the nuclear power stations in Tihange and Doel?

No customer reviews

Does it recognise the risks for neighbouring countries, such as the Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg, and for the River Meuse? Does the Commission feel that it has a responsibility to protect people in Belgium and neighbouring countries against the potential impact of pressing cross-border problems?

Does the Commission have the power, and is it prepared, to take measures to protect European waterways, in this case the River Meuse? To what extent can Belgium draw on EU funding to develop sustainable energy sources in order to offset the loss of generation capacity resulting from the closure of dangerous nuclear power stations? Setting aside the issue of legal powers, on the basis of the information currently available how safe does the Commission think the Tihange and Doel nuclear power stations are? Is the Commission prepared to urge the Belgian Government to close nuclear power stations which pose a serious safety risk?

If the Commission does not have the power to do this, is it prepared to make recommendations, as it has done in the area of pensions policy, which likewise strictly falls outside the scope of its powers? The Commission is requested to answer each question individually, so as to provide a proper insight into its thinking. The Commission has no information on any uncontrolled leaks from the plant into the Meuse.

Stress tests took place in the form of self assessments by nuclear operators, which were then reviewed by national regulators, with international peer reviews by experts from nuclear and non-nuclear Member States. This involved physical and administrative actions, performed directly at nuclear power plants or at topical expert meetings. As the two reactors in question are currently in shutdown, there is no immediate danger for the population, workers or environment in Belgium or any neighbouring country.

The Commission would like to refer the Honourable Members to its replies to questions no. Member States are obliged to ensure compliance with its provisions and to this end to monitor all effluents from nuclear installations, including discharges to waterways. Belgian companies can consider joining or forming project consortia to take part in calls for proposals in the field of energy.

The decision to close down nuclear power plants is taken at national level.

The Commission is currently assessing possible ways to further improve the existing EU nuclear safety framework. Osipova was then accused of producing and selling drugs. She denied the accusation, claiming that the drugs had been planted on her. The prosecutor called for Osipova to be imprisoned for four years, but the judge imposed a sentence of eight years in a penal colony. Supporters have made many appeals for Osipova's release from jail in view of her poor state of health — she suffers from chronic pancreatitis and diabetes, and she also requires insulin injections.

The Russian authorities are attempting to crack down on the opposition, harassing activists, and — as the case of Taisiya Osipova shows — fabricating criminal cases against activists and sentencing them to many years in prison. It has also been raised at recent political dialogue meetings held with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. This issue is regularly addressed at the EU-Russia human rights consultations. Broad press coverage has recently been given to an investigation conducted by the University of Harvard and published on the specialist website of the Alliance for Natural Health, according to which pasteurised milk can cause the onset of certain types of cancer.

The investigation claims that concentrated nutrients fed to cows so that they produce larger quantities of milk could provoke cancer in humans.
