A Strange and Terrible Saga: A Strange and Terrible Saga.

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. This emergency situation is a result of the drought and reductions in water to the dam, but also due to appropriation of the public body of water for private economic interests. The local Barbastro Hunting and Fishing Association has warned that fishing in the river is impossible this season.

One ecologically-valuable section of the river is practically dry, while supplies to local farm irrigation systems, hydropower plants, fish farms and paper factories have been maintained. Both rivers constitute important water arteries, acting as a biological corridor for many species of fauna and flora, while also linking the Pyrenean foothills to the floor of the Ebro River valley, which is why there is an obligation to take measures to protect it. What actions has the Commission taken or does it intend to take to preserve this important ecological area?

In particular, is it thinking of urging the Spanish authorities to establish an obligatory minimum ecological flow for the River Cinca? Has Greece set aside sufficient resources from the Structural Funds to sustain the sector in question? In what way can the Commission help to halt the downgrading of psychiatric establishments and redeem the image of psychiatric establishments in Greece? During the current programming period , the European Social Fund ESF provides support through the Human Resources Development operational programme for the reform of the mental health sector in Greece.

The Commission is concerned, however, at the low level of project implementation in the sector in question, where only 3. The Commission is aware of the challenges facing vulnerable sections of the population in Greece. The ESF is accordingly providing assistance to promote the social inclusion and employment of mental patients, foster their deinstitutionalisation through the development of outpatient facilities, tackle discrimination and step up human resources in the mental health sector.

As early as the beginning of , Greece requested technical assistance for the purpose of speeding up the absorption of funds from the External Borders Fund and the European Return Fund. Has any positive impact been noted on the progress of the projects financed by these two funds? Are there any concrete results to be reported?

As regards the area of return, since Frontex is successfully running the Attica project deploying experts assisting Greece in capacity building and improvement of return management. This assistance has positive impact on the implementation of different actions co-financed under the Return Fund. This includes the better use of the EBF. In particular, Frontex is expected to support the Greek services in the preparation of technical specifications for actions co-financed under the EBF. The main objective of the workshop was to verify the availability of Member States to provide support on various identified actions in the area of asylum, migration and borders.

Particularly high rates of child poverty are reported in countries where the economic environment is unfavourable owing to the current economic crisis. Can it provide information on the danger of children from single-parent families ending up in poverty? Is it considering a strategy for combating child poverty, with specific target indicators and practical political actions comparable to those proposed for combating youth unemployment? Has it proposed specific social protection measures to the Member States for this population group? Has there been any response from Member States?

Children growing up in a single parent family face risk of poverty of The Council just adopted 19 Country Specific Recommendations related to child poverty and well-being. The Commission is working on a recommendation on child poverty. It is part of the Commission's workplan. The recommendation will propose a holistic approach to fight child poverty, pleading for improved access to income support, health and social services and better child participation in social and afterschool activities. Monitoring and evaluation will be facilitated through a set of existing indicators and based on existing reporting mechanisms Europe, National Reform Programmes, National Social Reports.

A decade of cooperation on child poverty through the Open Method of Coordination has helped to identify common challenges and a set of indicators as was highlighted in the Joint Report on Social Protection and Social Inclusion. Besides, the upcoming Recommendation will propose common principles for effective policy action.

Het grootschalige gebruik van administratieve detentie is een zorgenpunt dat wij bij elke gelegenheid aan de orde stellen. The hunger strike staged by Palestinian prisoners over the past months has effectively ended after Israel pledged to meet basic human rights standards in its prisons. Ministers also looked at the hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners. The extensive use of administrative detentions is a key concern we raise at every opportunity.

Ha condenado la continua violencia de los colonos y las provocaciones deliberadas contra civiles palestinos, y ha pedido al Gobierno de Israel que lleve ante la justicia a los responsables y que cumpla con sus obligaciones en virtud del Derecho internacional. Daaraan wordt samen met de Commissie gewerkt.

De EU is bezorgd over het extremisme van kolonisten en over opruiing door kolonisten op de Westelijke Jordaanoever. De uitvoering van de in de schriftelijke vraag bedoelde maatregelen, is een nationale bevoegdheid van de lidstaten. According to data collected by the Commission, the UN and local activists, the Israeli authorities demolished 22 water cisterns and 37 residential and agricultural structures funded by EU Member States in Does the High Representative believe that measures such as blocking imports of products made by Israeli settlers or an EU visa ban on settler radicals should be implemented, especially given that the occupation and the settlements are illegal under international law?

It also stated that it expects Israel to protect EU investments in support of Palestinian development in Area C for future use. This work is being carried out jointly with the Commission. Implementation of measures outlined in the written question on settlement produce requires the unanimous backing of EU Member States. The EU is concerned about settler extremism and incitement by settlers in the West Bank. It has condemned continuous settler violence and deliberate provocations against Palestinian civilians and called on the Government of Israel to bring the perpetrators to justice and to comply with its obligations under international law.

Implementation of actions referred to in the written question is a matter of national competence of Member States. The Swedish morning paper Svenska Dagbladet had four of its reporters put themselves on a diet of tinned food to investigate whether consuming food from tin cans would impact levels of the hormone-disrupting chemical bisphenol A BPA in the body. The results were astounding. However, this is not enough. I must insist that we regulate the use of BPA and other similar substances in everything that comes into contact with food — even in products intended for adults.

This includes tin cans, lunch boxes, kitchen utensils, plates and other items made of plastic. Children also eat food that comes from tin cans, while pregnant women should be protected from ingesting BPA. Regulation is therefore needed in particular to protect children and foetuses. An article in Svenska Dagbladet described how four of its reporters ate tinned food for two days and a very large increase in bisphenol A BPA of several thousand percent was observed in the urine of all four. In this brief time, levels of BPA in their urine rose rapidly.

Since the food they ate was varied, it is not possible to deduce precisely which tinned food caused the rise. Although BPA has a short half-life in the human body, this is of great concern, and our knowledge of the impact on the body of such rapid rises and falls in levels is poor. Where the data are insufficient, or indicate a danger of safe limits being exceeded, what action do you plan to take? In the Commission considered it adequate to apply the precautionary principle in the case of infants only.

The Commission will apply the precautionary principle if the criteria for its application are fulfilled. Wie bewertet die Kommission die Aussichten auf Realisierung des Brenner-Basistunnels sowie des Tunnels zwischen Lyon-Turin angesichts der angespannten Haushaltslage aller beteiligten Mitgliedstaaten, besonders vor dem Hintergrund der Maastricht-Kriterien und des neuen Schuldenpakts? How does the Commission assess the existing alternative route through the Pannonian lowlands via Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia? Why was this route not considered, despite the fact that it is a faster and more cost-effective alternative?

How does the Commission assess the prospects for the realisation of the Brenner base tunnel and the tunnel between Lyon and Turin in view of the budgetary difficulties of all the Member States involved, particularly in the context of the Maastricht criteria and the new debt pact? What is to happen with the resources for the Baltic-Adriatic corridor earmarked by the European Union if the participating Member States do not commit to their co-financing share in their national budgets?

The proposed core network corridors follow the alignments of the core network which was developed on the basis of a rational and transparent methodology along their most direct alignment, following existing and potential traffic flows. The Baltic-Adriatic corridor follows the existing Priority Projects 23, 25 and 27 and continues to the economic centres of northern Italy. The Commission does not share the opinion of the Honourable Member that there are faster and more cost-effective alternatives.

It is considerably longer, single-track and partly non-electrified. No budget is predetermined for certain corridors. The Commission is aware of the difficult financial situation which might delay the implementation of Lyon-Turin, Brenner or the future Baltic-Adriatic Corridor and will — together with the Member States — decide on the most effective ways to deal with this. Austria and Italy have re-assured that the Brenner Base tunnel will become operational as planned in The number of major missing links on the core network is limited and they have been taken on board because of the methodology referred to above.

Member States are therefore to commit to the obligation of realising the core network until Could the Commission explain whether any corresponding measures have been introduced in the meantime to address the issue of harassment at work?

The Commission intends to publish this year a call for tenders on mental health in the workplace with a view to:. Delineate a series of scenarios for action, taking also into account any cost implications;. The Commission attaches also great importance to involving the social partners' initiatives concerning mental health as well as violence and harassment in the workplace.

Earlier this month, the Israeli Government announced the approval of a coalition deal between the Likud party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Kadima party led by Shaul Mofaz. In what way does the Commission expect this deal to impact upon the dynamics of the peace process with the Palestinians and the prospect of a two-state solution? Our services continue to follow the domestic political situation closely and asses its possible ramifications for the Middle East Peace Process. The EU continues to work with partners in the region and within the Quartet to bring about direct and substantial negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians which should lead to a comprehensive agreement based on a two state solution.

Have any initiatives been launched in the intervening period that ensure greater protection of religious freedom and of the rights of Christian communities on a global scale? They firmly condemn violence and acts of terrorism, in various countries, against Christians and their places of worship, Muslim pilgrims and other religious communities.

Request was then made to all EU Delegations to monitor the state of FoRB and to engage on such issues, whenever necessary, so to make this right an integral part of the EU's bilateral relations with their host country, and to report on actions taken. The EU has been using the full range of its instruments to engage international partners at the bilateral and multilateral levels, through human rights dialogues, demarches, UN resolutions or financial assistance, to address these concerns.

The EEAS is working closely with Members of the European Parliament and civil society representatives to address the various issues of freedom of religion or belief. Such guidelines will help enhancing EU activity in this field in the most concrete way possible. Is the Commission considering any further measures intended to hasten the reform process and tackle issues such as selective justice in the country? Selective justice has been identified as a key obstruction to the further development of relations. The cases of Tymoshenko, Lutsenko, Ivaschenko and Filipchuk were given particular attention.

The EU will continue to insist on specific measures to curb, and ultimately eliminate, the use of selective justice in Ukraine, including immediate implementation of the updated Criminal Procedure Code and revision of the Criminal Code. The EU will follow closely appeal and cassation processes in the cases of Tymoshenko and others, as well as relevant processes of the European Court of Human Rights.

In reaction to growing risks of water scarcity and with the aim of ensuring water security in the long term, water providers in European countries, including Malta, are increasingly resorting to desalination to cover freshwater needs. Has the Commission considered any investments in more energy efficient technologies that could make desalination processes more environmentally friendly? Within these projects a few consortia have successfully demonstrated the positive direct coupling of wind turbines with membrane desalination ideal for the Mediterranean because of its lower salinity compared to the Atlantic.

The desalinated water is stored in plastic bags in the sea; very large volumes can be obtained at extremely low costs. The pumps can be operated in variable mode and can thus follow the variable wind. This causes zero stress on the local electricity grid. Since the year , this technology is ready for deployment; wind based desalination is significantly cheaper than fossil fuel based desalination. Progress fit-tnaqqis tad-differenza bejn is-sessi fil-boardrooms tad-diretturi kien ukoll bil-mod. Has the Commission recorded any improvements in this respect since the publication of this report?

Over the past years, the Commission has recorded modest improvement in tackling the remaining gender gaps in employment, education and the economy. Differences in educational choices, occupational and sectoral segregation remain important in many Member States and largely explain the high gender pay gap. Progress in narrowing the gender gap in company boardrooms has also been slow.

In line with this, both at the end of the first and second European Semester, country specific recommendations have been issued to Member States aiming at gender issues. The recommendations point to the need to provide achievable and affordable care facilities, to reduce financial disincentives faced by second earners, to combat the gender pay gap and to promote flexible working opportunities for women. This has made financial education available to citizens starting at school age, through courses and web databases, for example.

Elderly people, however, have less access to these tools, yet have just as much need of knowledge of personal finance. Certain specific problems which affect the elderly, such as failure to access benefits and being targeted for financial exploitation, call for the provision of better financial education. The Commission's activities in the area of financial education are addressed to all, including the elderly.

Elderly people will be able to benefit by the improved services that such entities provide to them. In addition, the Commission has been running an online tool for consumer issues, www. This tool includes a section on financial services information which is available to all consumers, including the elderly. Furthermore, some of the European legislation in the area of financial services such as for instance Markets in Financial Instruments Directive MiFID obliges providers to make due assessment of the consumer's profile for the suitability of the investment product to be offered.

The age could be a relevant factor in this assessment. A number of officials, some who are experts and some who are not, some whose functions are relevant to the issue in question and others whose functions are not, have repeatedly made statements about Greece that have infuriated the Greek people ahead of the elections. These statements have put Greek voters in a terrible quandary, and risk deflecting the electorate from its course and creating an irreversible situation in Greece.

We have now reached the point that the spectre of Communism is coming back to haunt us in Greece. Will it intervene through its official representatives to stop various officials commenting on Greece, at least in the pre-electoral period? The Commission does not comment on declarations or statements made by representatives of other Institutions and International Organisations. This specific proposal was explained as follows: If so, would there be any consequences and what would they be?

The decision to issue long stay visas, residence permits and travel documents to non-EU citizens in cases of sudden large scale inflow of migrants should not have a negative impact on the functioning of the Schengen area. Quali misure intende adottare per garantire un efficace intervento volto a tutelare i diritti umani ripetutamente violati?

Al fine di facilitarne la chiusura, nel giugno il presidente del Consiglio dei ministri ha inviato una lettera al segretario di Stato e al segretario alla difesa statunitensi in cui osservava: Six hundred people spent years there before being judged innocent and released, and dozens of the current prisoners are still behind bars because the American authorities do not consider their country of origin safe and have not found another country willing to accept them.

What measures does she intend to take to guarantee effective action to safeguard the human rights that have been repeatedly violated? The EU has repeatedly stated its position that the fight against terrorism must be conducted in full compliance with international human rights standards and the rule of law.

The EU continues to call for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Sembra che la giovane abbia meno di 18 anni e che sia tenuta incatenata, in carcere, assieme al figlio di cinque mesi. La giovane ha confessato dopo essere stata picchiata da un membro della famiglia. Molte pene sono giustificate come parte della Sharia. Quali misure ha intrapreso l'UE in passato per esortare il Sudan a rivedere le proprie leggi al fine di conformarsi alle norme internazionali? Il Servizio europeo per l'azione esterna segue da vicino la questione, in stretta collaborazione con la delegazione dell'UE e con le ambasciate degli Stati membri a Khartoum.

In passato e in varie occasioni, sia bilateralmente che in sedi multilaterali, l'Unione europea ha invitato il Sudan ad abolire la pena di morte o almeno ad imporre una moratoria de jure. She is believed to be under the age of 18 and is being held in prison with her five-month-old baby. Her legs are shackled. She confessed to the charge after being beaten by a family member. The man who was alleged to have committed adultery with her was released after denying the charges. Although Sudanese law stipulates that those accused of serious crimes have the right to legal representation, Intisar Sharif Abdallah was not given access to a lawyer or an interpreter in the court-room.

She remains in prison, while pro bono lawyers have placed an appeal on her behalf. Sudan itself is party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prohibits imposing either capital punishment or a life sentence without the prospect of release on a person under the age of Sudan is one of only seven countries that permit stoning as a form of punishment.

This includes women who wear trousers and knee-length skirts. Many of the punishments are justified as part of Sharia law. Information gathered by various sources, including NGOs, indicates that local Sudanese authorities are embarrassed by the ruling and have been trying to revert the verdict.

It is hoped that this will lead to the imminent examination of her appeal. It has also encouraged the Sudanese authorities to sign and ratify all the relevant international instruments making references to the use of death penalty, including the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights. It is clear that the Commission has had difficulties with these negotiations, not only on account of the previously very frequent withdrawals from the negotiations by African counterparts, but also because of the amount of time it has taken to reach these final agreements.

While the Commission focuses on openness, accessibility and fairness in its internal strategies, all possible references to these terms have been omitted from the EPA articles. Its implementation will rely on best practices and experience in EU policies and regulatory frameworks. Since the goals mentioned in the Honourable Member's question are at the heart of those policies and rules, they will certainly inspire the EU's cooperation and will be at the core of future initiatives.

Finally, the EU's Seventh Research and Development Framework Programme is open for the participation of organisations from third countries including from Africa , and that this principle is expected to be continued under Horizon Does the Commission intend to produce the quantitative data needed in order to assess whether or not community plant variety protection is fulfilling its purpose of stimulating the creation of new varieties?

This Convention provides the basis for members to encourage breeding by granting breeders of new plant varieties an intellectual property right. The aim is to provide an effective system of plant variety protection, encouraging the development of new varieties of plants. In , a study on the effects of plant variety protection concluded that the UPOV system provides an effective incentive for plant breeding in different situations and results in the development of new, improved varieties to the benefit of farmers, growers and consumers.

The implementation of the CPVR legislation was evaluated by an external consultant in The Council took note of the conclusions of the evaluation and highlighted that the system is working well overall protecting plant breeding innovation in the Union. Based on the recommendations of the evaluation report and the stakeholder consultations, the Commission will carefully examine the need to produce more detailed quantitative data on CPVR system and the impact on innovation.

To give an example: Does the Commission not think that the option of transporting live animals over long distances is unsustainable in the presence of such structural problems? Does the Commission think that the chronic problems described above can be solved without a review of the regulation, aimed at ending long-distance transport and at replacing it with the transport of meat and carcasses? Non-compliance of the rules on animal welfare would in most cases lead to poor animal welfare.

Hence the described problems are clearly related to poor enforcement of the rules. This conclusion supports the view of the Commission that enforcement must remain the first priority for the Commission and for the Member States. Nelle scorse settimane i vertici dei Nuovi Cantieri Apuania S. Quali azioni possono essere intraprese a tutela e salvaguardia dei posti di lavoro oggi in pericolo?

In recent weeks, the management of Nuovi Cantieri Apuania S. The company is a centre of excellence in economic, social and employment terms for the whole of the Province of Massa-Carrara. It is currently finalising a roll-on, roll-off ferry that will operate in the Strait of Messina and be equipped to transport railway carriages, vehicles and passengers. There are also plans for a second railway carriage ferry to be built for the Italian State Railways Group and for the company to take part in an international tender for the construction of a ferry in Quebec.

In fact, in terms of strategic assets, NCA S. What initiatives can be undertaken to protect and safeguard the jobs which are currently at risk? The Commission is not in a position to assess the facts or state whether a private company has or has not complied with any provisions implementing EU legislation. According to this communication, Greece has been excluded from the list of marketable risk countries.

Two of the largest global export-credit insurers have already decided to exclude Greece from this insurance cover. Before adopting this communication, did the Commission assess the impact it would have on Greek imports and exports at a particularly difficult time for the national economy? What measures does it intend to take to remove the damaging effects of this communication on Greek exports and imports?

The exceptional state of the Greek economy led to a scarcity of private insurance cover for exports to Greece: On that basis, and rather than requiring individual notifications, the Commission decided to remove Greece temporarily from the list of countries which were marketable risks countries. This allows Member States to support, under certain conditions, export-credit insurance for exports to Greece, without the need to provide individual notifications.

This will help companies in other Member States who wish to export to Greece and would otherwise be unable to find export-credit insurance on the market, as well as companies in Greece who need those imports. As a result of this, export credit insurers in many Member States operating for the account of or guaranteed by the State are now offering cover for Greece and have received many applications. This shows the need for and benefits of this change.

The decision to temporarily remove Greece from the list of marketable countries was made following a consultation of all Member States, including Greece. This amendment will expire at the end of when the new Communication on short-term export-credit insurance, which is currently being prepared, should enter into force. The scheme would achieve significant savings of resources, benefit consumers and create innovation in terms of current marketing strategies for the consumer staples sector.

The Danish Consumer Council has stated emphatically that such a scheme is not possible, as it would contravene a total harmonisation directive that determines which types of commercial practice can be approved and which cannot. The Commission is aware of this draft legislation and already met the Danish Consumer Council to discuss the issue. It is the Commissions understanding that, if adopted, the new Danish law would however go farther by prohibiting all kinds of unaddressed printed advertising.

Due to the full harmonisation character of the UCPD, such prohibition would be allowed only if it falls outside the scope of the directive, i. Mobile telephony is an important aspect of efforts to improve communications in the internal market. The idea is based on setting aside certain frequencies for Femtocell technology. Three frequencies are available: Almost all 3G mobile telephones on sale today support these frequencies. By dedicating frequencies to Femtocell technology it would, for example, be possible to set up a Danish Femtocell box in the UK without causing a nuisance to UK mobile operators.

To prevent unintended roaming, the Femtocell box would only accept customers from its own home mobile network. This would ensure that French people would not be billed for roaming on the TDC network. The Femtocell box would only be allowed to perform a handover to its own network, including other Femtocell boxes. It could not hand over to a foreign network. This would prevent unintentional roaming when there is a risk of leaving the coverage area after starting a conversation using the Femtocell box.

A solution to encourage the approval of Femtocell boxes might be that the boxes must be able to transmit up to three frequencies simultaneously. The Commission is examining the possibility of spreading the availability and use of picocells and femtocells and thereby takes full account of the potential of those cellular base stations and of the shared and unlicensed use of spectrum. However, according to the regulatory framework for electronic communications, authorisation of spectrum usage rights should follow the principle of technology and service neutrality to allow spectrum users to choose the best technologies and services to apply in frequency bands declared available for electronic communications services.

The Commission has developed several initiatives to reinforce the capacity of Greek authorities to deal with these flows.

Simultaneously, it has developed initiatives to strengthen efforts by the Turkish authorities to prevent irregular migration. Although the basic terms of the measures being implemented are unavoidable, what specific action is the Commission considering with which to address this deeply negative and socially unjust consequence of the austerity programmes? The Commission is aware that many households are hit by serious financial troubles. Detailed data are mainly collected at national level.
