If the situation is deemed not satisfactory as concerns the application of the rules on late payments by public authorities, the Commission may decide to initiate infringement proceedings according to Article of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union 3. The Commission is also aware of the government's efforts to pay all the commercial arrears existing at 31 December and is following the developments on the ground.
Vista la Carta europea dei diritti fondamentali, con particolare riguardo all'articolo 26,. La Commissione attribuisce grande importanza al rispetto di tale principio. What initiatives have been taken to date to implement the provision made by the amendment mentioned above?
Is there an annual report, as required by the budget resolution, on how the amounts budgeted for this purpose have been spent? Finally, given that few people with disabilities are employed in the European institutions, does the Commission think it worth seeking to improve public information about recruitment opportunities for people with disabilities in the EU institutions? The Staff Regulations set out a general principle of non-discrimination on various grounds, amongst others, disability.
This includes the obligation to provide reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities unless this would cause a disproportionate burden on the employer. The Commission attaches great importance to the respect of this principle. One of the priorities in this area is to raise awareness among staff and managers about the Commission's disability policy so that they are more confident and better equipped to integrate applicants or colleagues with disabilities. As regards the EU selection procedures, EPSO already implements a large number of measures to ensure that all EU selection processes are fully accessible to candidates with special needs.
In this context, and in order to ensure equality of opportunities, such candidates can be granted special accommodations for testing whenever necessary and duly justified. Each file is processed individually to ensure the best possible match between the needs of the candidate and the principles of both proportionality and equal treatment applicable in EU selection processes.
Czy Komisji znane jest to zjawisko? According to the Council on Foreign Relations, in the years there has been a visible increase in contagious diseases in Europe and the United States including measles, mumps, scarlet fever, polio and whooping cough.
It is believed that this phenomenon is due in large part to the activities of anti-vaccination movements propagating pseudo-scientific theories about the dangers of vaccinations which has resulted in a reduction in the number of vaccinations. Is the Commission aware of this phenomenon?
Does the EU intend to counteract the risk of a return to epidemics of dangerous diseases caused by the activity of anti-vaccination movements? Vaccine refusal or resistance to vaccination are major barriers to the effectiveness of national vaccine programmes. There are multiple factors of a changing global environment that are contributing to increased public questioning of vaccines. These comprise concerns about vaccine safety, increasing variations and combinations of vaccines, differences in vaccine schedules and the activities of anti-vaccination movements.
As vaccination is a national competence of the Member States, the Commission is supporting the Member States to improve the current situation through strengthening evidence-based communication, both regarding vaccine efficacy and safety. This work aims to help efforts to improve the training and education of healthcare professionals, providing them with tools for more tailored communication with their patients.
Finally, it would be important to increase efforts to monitor vaccine refusals on a systematic basis. W grudniu r. In December , after occupying the city of Maaloula, an area that includes two of oldest Syrian monasteries and an important religious centre for eastern Christians, Syrian rebels are selling items originating from eastern orthodox churches in this area on Internet auction sites.
Antique, centuries-old liturgical books, icons, crosses and candlesticks have been put on sale. Other eastern orthodox places of worship have also been disrespected. There have been acts of vandalism, arson and desecration of holy relics.
In many cases, Unesco World Heritage sites have been damaged and plundered. Is the EU taking any action to protect them? The EU has repeatedly expressed its concerns about the destruction of the Syrian cultural heritage in Foreign Affairs Council conclusions. In December , the Council adopted a decision and Regulation that prohibits trade to and from the EU in Syrian cultural property which has been unlawfully removed from Syria since 9 May The protected property includes Syrian goods of cultural, archaeological, rare scientific or religious importance.
It includes a list of protected property, in particular goods that form an integral part of collections of Syrians museums, archives, libraries or collections of religious institutions. The authorities used force to disperse the peaceful demonstrations, leading to an increasingly tense atmosphere among the people of Venezuela and to mass social discontent.
The protests escalated, and the battles raging between the protestors, law enforcement forces and militants loyal to President Maduro have so far claimed the lives of at least twenty people on each side. No information has been released on those arrested, but rumours are circulating that they are being tortured.
Reputable international civil society organisations have indicated that they have not seen any evidence to substantiate these charges. We join the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in calling upon the relevant authorities to ensure that the accusations brought against those detained are impartially investigated, to decide on the lawfulness of their detention, or to order their release.
Information presented on various portals is often untrue and it is impossible to verify the credibility of authors posting such information. Despite this fact, according to the Central Statistical Office in Poland, one in three Internet users uses the Internet to search for medical advice.
Is the Commission aware of the above phenomenon? What steps can the European Commission take to warn EU citizens against excessive trust in information placed on the Internet? The Commission is aware of the issue raised by the Honourable Member. With the Consumer Agenda of May and the Digital Agenda for Europe strategy, the European Commission acknowledged that Internet has created innovative ways of organising, accessing, sharing and evaluating information, for example on prices, technical product characteristics and quality reviews.
Search engines, product comparison websites, online trust marks and consumer reviews are now widely used tools. This increase in transparency will benefit all patients, not only those who choose to travel abroad. Furthermore, the Commission would like to stress that existing EC law already provides for specific obligations for businesses in their commercial relations with consumers. Specifically, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive prohibits practices such as misleading actions that may contain false information.
Does any reliable evidence exist that errors have occurred in respect of the fiscal multipliers during the implementation of the MoUs? If so, how and to what extent have these errors affected the euro area programme countries? Who bears responsibility for these errors, and how can the damage they have caused be repaired? Can it envisage a revision of the MoUs? If so, under what conditions and circumstances can or, indeed, must this occur?
If the Troika is indeed insufficiently accountable, what needs to be done to remedy the situation? The Council has not discussed the European Parliament's own-initiative report on the role and operations of the Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund in euro area programme countries.
Does it consider that the alternative forms of debt restructuring proposed by Parliament bond swapping, extending bond maturities and reducing coupons could help Cyprus and Greece to tackle their problems? Were the abovementioned alternative forms of debt restructuring taken into account in decisions regarding Cyprus? On 27 November the Eurogroup stated that euro area Member States would be prepared to consider initiatives including extending the maturities of the bilateral and EFSF loans by 15 years and deferring the interest payments on the EFSF loans by 10 years, with the aim of bringing Greece's public debt back on a sustainable path.
On 25 March , the Eurogroup stated that the economic adjustment programme for Cyprus would address the exceptional challenges that the country was facing and restore the viability of the financial sector, with a view to restoring sustainable growth and sound public finances over the coming years. The Eurogroup welcomed the plans for restructuring the financial sector as specified in the annex to its statement.
These measures were to form the basis for restoring the viability of the financial sector. Fiscal performance is assessed through updated forecasts and quantitative performance criteria. Compliance with measures regarding the financial sector and other macroeconomic and structural policies is assessed against the conditionality and timetable in the memorandum of understanding On 10 March , the Eurogroup noted with satisfaction the signs of improvement in macro-financial stability as programme implementation had progressed.
It welcomed the steps already taken to enter the second stage of the gradual relaxation of restrictions on payment flows signified by the relaxation of restrictions on fixed-term deposits, in line with the government's milestone-based roadmap. Efforts will need to continue to effectively implement the planned reforms in the financial sector, including in arrears management and the structural measures agreed in the memorandum of understanding La direttiva sulle energie rinnovabili definisce i bioliquidi come combustibili liquidi utilizzati per scopi energetici diversi dal trasporto, compresi l'energia elettrica, il riscaldamento e il raffreddamento, prodotti a partire dalla biomassa, senza specificare ulteriori condizioni per la definizione dello stato della materia di un determinato combustibile.
La Commissione ritiene che lo stato della materia di un combustibile debba essere considerato in funzione delle condizioni climatiche normali nel luogo del suo utilizzo. Palm stearin is a solid and is warmed up to allow for easier transport and further processing into downstream products. The Renewable Energy Directive defines bioliquids as liquid fuels used for energy purposes other than for transport, including electricity and heating and cooling, produced from biomass, without specifying further conditions to define the state of matter of a specific fuel.
In the view of the Commission, the state of matter of a fuel should be considered under the normal climatic conditions at the location of its use. Therefore, fuel made from palm stearin should be regarded as a bioliquid only if it is liquid under the local climatic conditions. Asunto: Consecuencias medioambientales de los despidos en Vaersa Comunidad Valenciana.
Es verdad que para garantizar tales objetivos deben ponerse los recursos financieros y humanos adecuados. The downsizing of the Valencian state-owned company Vaersa is nothing short of a dismantling of environmental public services. EU legislation in this field requires Member States to fulfil a number of conditions.
Two of the clearest examples of these cutbacks can be found at the Hoces del Cabriel and Serra Calderona Natural Parks. Hoces del Cabriel, which covers 40 hectares, is set to see its quota of Vaersa management supervisors reduced from three to just one, while Serra Calderona, which spans 18 hectares and receives hundreds of thousands of visitors per year, has only one.
The resulting staff shortages will most likely have an extremely detrimental effect on efforts to protect habitats and endangered species in these natural areas, leading to the deterioration of their ecosystems. The sites Hoces del Cabriel and Serra Calderona have been designated by Spain for the Natura network under the provisions of the Habitats 18 and Birds Directives In accordance with Article 6 of the Habitats Directive, the Spanish authorities must establish the necessary conservation measures and avoid the deterioration of natural habitats and the disturbance to the species for which these areas have been designated.
To this aim, adequate financial and human resources need to be guaranteed. However, the detailed arrangements for the management of these sites are a matter of national competence and different management alternatives may be considered, provided that they enable full compliance with the requirements of the Birds and Habitats Directives.
The fact that there are competition concerns in one market or set of markets does not in itself mean that there will necessarily be concerns of a similar type in other markets. As outlined in the reply to the previous question on this issue, a range of legal, economic and factual details has to be assessed in each case.
In order to find an infringement of EU competition law and impose any associated remedy, the Commission needs to undertake an investigation on the specific alleged abuse. At present, given that on the basis of the available information, the Commission does not have indications that Google's conduct in the area specified by the question may violate the EU competition rules, it is currently not considering solutions of the type outlined in the question.
Will the proposed association agreement with Ukraine have any bearing on EU policy towards the countries of the South Caucasus? Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union meant that the DCFTA element could no longer be implemented; this meant that the entire legal instrument could no longer be initialled or signed.
However, at the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius last November, the EU and Armenia agreed to further develop and strengthen their cooperation in all areas of mutual interest within the Eastern Partnership and to revisit the basis for their relations. The Association Agreement with Ukraine reflects the EU's policy of political association and economic integration with the countries of the Eastern Partnership, including the countries of the South Caucasus.
Does the Commission consider that the economic, political and social situation in Iraq has improved since ? What strategy will the Commission unroll in the future in terms of cooperation with Iraq? The EU cannot assess yet the strategy, because its implementation is still on-going.
As soon as all the programmes will have been implemented they will be monitored and evaluated. The situation in Iraq has been evolving in the last years. While the economy is expanding due to the huge energy reserves that Iraq holds, and the significant reduction of its debt load, the provision of services is still lagging behind.
The security situation is deteriorating and sectarian divide is a predominant element, with attacks claiming more than 8, lives in Social challenges, especially in terms of inclusiveness regardless of ethnic and religious identity remain to be fully addressed and the EU has called on the Government of Iraq in the recent Council Conclusions to engage in doing so, thus contributing to the stability of Iraq.
The EU is therefore convinced of the need to continue to support Iraq's efforts in its democratic transition. La UE es muy consciente del debate en torno a la propuesta de proyecto de ley sobre el estatuto personal Jaafari y sigue de cerca el asunto.
Oggetto: Proposta di legge a danno delle donne in Iraq. Oggetto: Iraq e «Jaafari personal status law»: nuova bozza di legge in violazione dei diritti delle donne e dei minori. Una nuova bozza di legge rischia di peggiorare ulteriormente la situazione dei diritti delle donne e dei minori in Iraq: la proposta legislativa potrebbe legalizzare lo stupro familiare e permettere agli uomini di sposare bambine di 9 anni:.
Sui diritti umani, compresi i diritti delle donne e le questioni di genere, si discute anche nel sottocomitato Democrazia e diritti umani dell'accordo di partenariato e di cooperazione APC UE-Iraq, che alla prima riunione tenutasi a novembre ha espresso preoccupazioni specifiche riguardo al disegno di legge Jaafari. The bill violates the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, both of which have been ratified by Iraq.
What does the Commission think about the family bill which the Iraqi Government has sent to the national Parliament to be debated and adopted? Will the Commission approach the Iraqi Government and call on it to comply with the abovementioned conventions and redraft the family bill to bring it into line with them?
How would EU-Iraq relations be affected if the family bill were to be adopted as it now stands? What would happen to the assistance programmes? Various NGOs, as well as a handful of Iraqi politicians, have criticised the bill, saying it is a backward step for the whole country.
However, some analysts think this is primarily a move by Shias to assert their political identity with an eye to the forthcoming elections. Is it planning to make contact with the Iraqi authorities to obtain more details and to ask them to consider the need to respect human rights and gender equality? A new bill is likely to further worsen the situation of the rights of women and children in Iraq.
The legislative proposal could legalise family rape and allow men to marry girls as young as 9. The decree, which refers to sharia Islamic law , states that since girls reach puberty at the age of nine as if it were the same age for everyone!
Adoption of this law would lead to the legalisation of family rape, the lowering of the legal age for marriage — to nine for girls and 15 for boys — and numerous restrictions that would reduce women to a state of segregation.
In fact, they would be unable to leave the house without their husband's permission, they would not obtain custody of their children in case of divorce and would be forced to have sexual relations with their spouses. Up to now, Iraqi legislation, as regards family law, has been considered one of the most progressive in the Arab world, but since the Shiite religious parties came to power after the fall of Saddam in , the situation has been getting worse, especially as far as women's rights are concerned.
The EU is well aware of the reported debates around the proposed Jaafari draft law on Personal Status and follows the issue closely. However, according to the latest information, it looks highly unlikely that the bill will be approved by the Council of Representatives, since the initiative seems to be coming from a small group and will not get the necessary majority of votes in the parliament.
The EU consistently voices its concerns at human rights to the Iraqi authorities, both publicly and through diplomatic channels. Human rights, including women's rights and gender issues are also discussed in the context of the sub-committee on Democracy and Human Rights of the EU-Iraq Partnership and Cooperation Agreement PCA , the first meeting of which, in November , raised specific concerns on the Jaafari draft law. The EU remains committed in the promotion and respect of women's rights in Iraq through its development cooperation programmes.
Recent events in Ukraine and Europe's significant dependence on Russian gas have led to media speculation in Europe and the United States about the possibility of the EU importing natural gas produced by fracking. Has any proposal been made to consider the importation of shale gas within the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership?
The Commission believes that energy resources should be traded without any export restrictions and that additional global supplies of liquefied natural gas LNG , including from the United States, would benefit Europe and other strategic partners. At the request of the European Council meeting in March , the European Commission has recently conducted and published an in-depth study of the EU's energy security, as well as a plan for the reduction of the EU's energy dependence.
Jeg stillede den Det udfordrer vaner, juridiske begreber og folks levevis. Den finansierer adskillige forskningsprogrammer inden for digital bevaring On 23 December I asked the Commission a question on the management of digital inheritance, but as I did not receive a satisfactory answer, I am asking again.
We are going through a period of immense cultural change. People are going over from having physical documents and goods to having these things in electronic form. This is a challenge to our habits, legal concepts and way of life. There is a need to focus in particular on the consequences of digitalisation when people die.
Does the Commission have plans to inform people in particular about their rights and duties as a result of the forthcoming legislation? Does the Commission wish to add legal exemptions concerning protection in connection with inheritance cases etc. As regards your additional question on on-going non-legislative activities and awareness raising, the Commission is running various awareness raising programmes on the use of digital platforms, inter alia through the fundamental rights and citizenship programme It funds many research programmes in the field of digital preservation Digital preservation issues are technically speaking often linked to digital inheritance issues.
The Commission also supports an information portal on successions in Europe, aiming at clarifying succession issues 27 , however this information portal does not specifically deal with digital inheritance issues. Vil Kommissionen overveje at medtage det faktum, at de skader, som SCCS har beskrevet for de tre farver Indigofera Tinctoria, Acid Black 1 og Acid Orange 7 tilsyneladende ikke genfindes i den praktiske hverdag uden for laboratorierne?
Vurderingsprocessen er beskrevet i retningslinjerne A while ago I asked a question about allergenic hair dyes, but as I have not received a satisfactory answer, I am trying again. Some dyes, such as p-phenylenediamine PPD and toluene These two dyeing methods are based on different chemical processes from oxidative dyes and therefore do not contain the same substances giving cause for concern. These two alternative hair dyeing methods enable many hairdressers with allergies to continue working, and many customers with allergies to continue having their hair dyed.
There are no registered clinical cases of allergic reactions to New Generation hair dyes in healthy people. Will the Commission consider taking account of the fact that the harmful effects described by the SCCS in connection with these three dyes Indigofera Tinctoria, Acid Black 1 and Acid Orange 7 probably do not occur in practical everyday use outside laboratories?
That would be contrary to the real aims of the strategy. The main goal of the safety assessments by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety SCCS is to define the concentration of each cosmetic ingredient that is considered safe for consumers. The safety evaluation is based on the conditions of use of each cosmetic product as declared by the manufacturer and therefore takes into account real life conditions.
The process of the assessment is described in the Note of Guidance For the Acid Black 1, the revised opinion of the SCCS of 12 December 31 , which took into account the data provided during the public consultations, has concluded that its use in non-oxidative hair dye formulations with a concentration on head of maximum 0. This opinion will be translated into a legislative proposal to authorise Acid Black 1 upon favourable vote by the Member States representatives.
The safety evaluation for Acid Orange 7 is still undergoing whilst for Indigofera Tinctoria, the Commission will contact the applicant for additional safety data. The Commission strategy for hair dyes is focused on consumer safety while promoting European growth and ensuring high quality life standards for consumers.
This continuous process has resulted in the identification of 97 different hair dyes found safe by the SCCS and that have been authorised for use in hair dye products. This strategy will allow an increasing number of consumers the possibility of choosing the most suitable hair dye on the market that does not cause any specific allergic reaction.
ESF og Regionalfonden:. Until the budget period, ESF-supported projects had to focus on the transnational element. During the period, however, that focus ended, and ESF applications had to go to two different authorities in two different countries in order to obtain funding for a cross-border project. The fact that there was no guarantee that both countries' ESF authorities would authorise the funding hampered a number of projects, slowing down labour market development in border regions.
How will the Commission make sure that the transnational element is strengthened in the ESF in the new budget period, from to , so that the considerable potential of an integrated labour market in border regions can be exploited? How will the Commission make sure that civil society organisations can play a much greater role in connection with projects supported by the Regional Fund in the budget period, and, by extension, will the Commission make it possible for project holders to make use of co-financing from sources other than simply the public sector?
It is expected that transnational cooperation will contribute to identifying good practice, effective policy strategies and delivery systems in the Member States, in addition to the dissemination and transfer of working examples in a cost and time-effective manner. All stakeholders will be involved at an early stage. Article 5 of the Common Provisions Regulation for the ESI Funds 36 requires Member States to involve relevant partners, including bodies representing civil society in the preparation and implementation of Partnership Agreements and programmes.
Detailed rules as regards involvement of partners in calls for proposals are set out in the Delegated Regulation on the European code of conduct on partnership 37 , which provides a framework consisting of main principles and good practices within which Member States, in accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, should organise the partnership. The Commission favours involvement of the private sector in the financing of projects in particular via an increased use of financial instruments.
In addition, the Structural and Investment Funds y regulations provide for Member States the possibility to make use of in-kind contributions which can facilitate co-financing coming from resources other than public resources.
Welche Methoden wird die Kommission nutzen, um die geplante Roadmap gegen Homophobie rechtlich und politisch durchzusetzen? In Artikel 16 der Verordnung des Rates Nr. Die Artikel 20 und 21 der Verordnung des Rates Nr. That highly controversial report prompts the following questions:. What EU budget funding was used, and what was the amount, to produce the study on which the report is based, i.
What level of human and financial resources will the Commission commit in order to produce the roadmap, and in what form will it present the results? How will the Commission enforce the planned roadmap in law and secure political support for it? These tasks include the production of studies 40 such as the survey referred to by the Honourable Member.
The Commission recalls that it has been actively fighting discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity for more than a decade 41 and reiterates its commitment to combat homophobia and transphobia to the full extent possible based on the powers conferred to it by the Treaties.
On what legal basis are European parties authorised to offer membership to parties from non-European or non-EU countries? What percentage of European party funding is received by the AKP or other political groups in Turkey?
Therefore the Commission invites the Honourable Member to address his questions to the competent bodies within the European Parliament. Mitteilung der Kommission KOM Welche Anstrengungen wird es seitens der Kommission im Bereich der Entwicklungspolitik geben, um international den Ausverkauf des Wassers zu verhindern? It added that it would continue to ensure full compliance with Treaty rules requiring the EU to remain neutral in relation to national decisions governing the ownership regime for water undertakings see Commission communication COM In Greece, however, the Troika, whose policies the Commission helps to set, is continuing to insist on the privatisation of the waterworks in Athens and Thessaloniki.
What development policy measures will the Commission take in order to prevent any sell-off of water-supply services on an international scale? The choice of what, how far and in which sequence public assets or companies should be privatised remains entirely with the Member States, holding into account the various constraints they face and objectives they set for themselves. The assets included in the privatisation programme of the Member States benefitting from financial assistance are the exclusive result of the national authorities' decision.
Discussions under the programme are focusing on the overall financing needs, including privatisation receipts, but the design of the privatisation programme and the choice of assets remain entirely with the Member State concerned. EU-wide experience offers a variety of different public or private property models for water utilities. The Commission considers that the creation of a regulatory authority and an appropriate market functioning environment are crucial prerequisites for guaranteeing the success of any of these models to protect consumers' interests and maintain environmental values.
As regards international trade negotiations, the Commission will continue to actively engage with trade partners to ensure that national, regional and local choices on how to run water services are respected and properly safeguarded. Betrifft: European Network on Religion and Belief. Welche Mittel sind einer, mehreren oder allen genannten Organisation direkt oder indirekt zugute gekommen?
Betreft: European Network on Religion and Belief. Speelt ENORB meer bepaald een raadgevende rol bij DG Justitie in verband met de tienjaarlijkse beoordeling van de uitvoering van de richtlijnen inzake gelijkheid? Zo ja, wat was het resultaat van die controles? Zo ja, kan de Commissie laten weten op welke datums deze financiering is verstrekt, om welke bedragen het gaat en voor welk doel deze financiering bestemd was? De Commissie heeft geen contact opgenomen met organisaties die lid zijn van het ENORB en heeft geen nadere gegevens over die organisaties.
De Commissie heeft geen financiering verstrekt aan het ENORB en heeft er geen weet van dat deze organisatie de infrastructuur van de Commissie zou hebben gebruikt. Voor zover de Commissie weet, heeft het ENORB evenementen georganiseerd in het Europees Parlement en werden diensten van de Commissie voor deze evenementen uitgenodigd.
In what consultations organised by DG Justice or other directorates-general have one or more, or all, of these organisations been consulted, and with what intensity? What resources have directly or indirectly been channelled to one, more than one, or all of the above organisations? Have one, more than one, or all of the above organisations been permitted to use premises of the EU institutions? In the light of what criteria does the Commission assess the organisations before granting them consultative status?
Two of the seven institutional members of ENORB have been identified in the United Kingdom as Islamic extremist groups belonging to the international Muslim Brotherhood which promote, for example, the introduction of Sharia law in Europe.
They are both described across party boundaries as problematic, as is clear from a number of UK media reports. The head of the Cordoba Foundation is Anas al Tikriti, a well-known leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the UK who has been accused of non-transparent lobbying activities on a number of occasions If so, what was the sum involved? If so, under what conditions? If so, what was talked about, and who was present?
In particular, does ENORB enjoy consultation status with DG Justice in connection with the year review of the implementation of the equality directives? If so, what is the nature of such access? When was it granted? To whom was it granted? If so, what was the outcome of such checks? If so, will the Commission set out the dates on which such funds were given and the amounts thereof, and the purposes for which they were to be used?
The European Network on Religion and Belief ENORB is among one of the many non-governmental organisations, which are in contact with the Commission on issues of their area of interest 48 and are able to send position papers to the Commission, if they so wish. To the Commission's knowledge, ENORB is an umbrella network of different religious and non-confessional organisations and does not represent any specific religion or belief.
Betrifft: Kosten der Trilog-Verhandlung zur Tabakproduktrichtlinie. The tobacco products directive was debated and amended in seven committees in the European Parliament in the course of The European Parliament finally adopted its position in October and embarked on the trilogue negotiations.
What was the total amount of human and material resources required during the trilogue negotiations? What were the costs for the staff present and services provided by technicians and third parties, such as drinks during the negotiations? Five trilogues were held on the revision of the Tobacco Products Directive in , following the adoption of the Council's position in June and the European Parliament's position in October Four of these trilogues were hosted by the European Parliament and one by the Council.
The Commission is not in a position to provide a break-down of costs incurred by these Institutions. The Commission was represented by relatively small teams approximately three to seven officials with the exception of the last trilogue. Belgian law on car registration requires residents in Belgium to register their private motor vehicles once they are being used in Belgium, irrespective of whether the vehicles are intended to be used on a regular basis or not.
In individual cases, this was also applied to drivers who were using a vehicle put at their disposal by a third person. Pursuant to Article 2 1 of the Royal Decree on the registration of vehicles, a car that is put into circulation on Belgian roads needs to have a Belgian number plate Pursuant to Article 3 52 , persons resident in Belgium who wish to use their motor vehicle in Belgium must register it in the national register, even if the car is already registered in another Member State.
This means that, when applying the legislation, the fact that the vehicle is correctly registered in another Member State and the possible temporary nature of the use of the vehicle in Belgium are not taken into consideration. Moreover, the Belgian authorities assume that any motor vehicle used by a resident in Belgium has to be registered in the Belgian register. This application of the Belgian law is confirmed by payment orders sent out by the Belgian tax authorities to individual drivers concerned by the application of this legislation.
The latest individual cases of which we have been informed also show that the Belgian police have been setting up road blocks exclusively targeting cars with foreign number plates, in clear violation of the most basic EU principles. If so, when will the Belgian law be amended and corrected?
Could the Commission provide us with the latest situation as regards the Belgian authorities and the timetable forwarded to the Commission in November ? When will the Commission undertake sanctions against Belgium for violations of EC law? I am aware that many property buyers in Spain are still endeavouring to assert their legal rights to the title of their property and that, in many cases, it is proving impossible to achieve this.
Properties deemed to be illegal are being demolished, and it is unacceptable that thousands of people, many of whom are pensioners, who have invested their savings, are being prevented from legally using or selling their properties. In some cases, many years of legal action by purchasers results in little or no compensation being paid, despite previous planning permission being granted by local councils.
In , Commissioner Reding stated that the Commission had contacted the Spanish authorities to enquire as to the steps being taken at national level to address the problems of the many property buyers who have failed to obtain their title deeds. Can the Commission inform me of the outcome of the contact with the Spanish authorities and of the steps being taken to ensure that everyone caught up in this unacceptable situation has the right to their title deeds to allow them to use or sell their properties?
Matters linked to real estate ownership and to the building sector are primarily within the remit of the Member States and are regulated by their national contract laws. EU consumer legislation will come into play in particular if property developers have engaged in unfair commercial practices towards consumers 53 or if sales and loan contracts concluded between a consumer and a trader contain unfair terms I am concerned about some white aircraft trails that have been spotted over Bedfordshire recently.
These white trails are different from trails left by normal aircraft. Does the Commission or the European Environment Agency have a position on the use of atmospheric aerosols as part of geoengineering? Is the Commission aware of any NATO or military involvement in a geoengineering project related to atmospheric aerosols? The Commission has no information on releases of chemicals from aircrafts, including NATO flight operations, into the atmosphere.
Dieser Mechanismus basiert auf Geboten und der zu erwartenden Klickrate der Links. Wie hoch waren die wirtschaftlichen Kosten der beiden vorausgegangenen Markttests? Wie lange dauert ein Markttest? These commitments include a proposed auction mechanism by which Google would select three rivals to display their services on a search results page, on the basis of bids and of the anticipated click-through rates for the links.
Such an auction mechanism appears to be designed to generate additional revenue for Google, which will select three rivals on the basis of the highest bids and not on considerations regarding the most relevant or useful results for consumers. Moreover, new market entrants will be excluded from the auction on account of the minimum market threshold, thus preventing new, innovative companies from competing in the search marketplace, and requiring the successful bidder to pay in order to benefit from the remedy.
Another very important issue regarding the auction requirement is that it will force the advertised prices higher than they would be if the rival links were free. Therefore, the latest proposal does not appear to help consumers and does not solve the consumer injury identified by the Commission as the initial problem.
What provisions does the proposal contain with a view to ensuring that innovative European SMEs will be able to enter and compete in the online marketplace under the auction mechanism? Can the Commission justify a proposed remedy to antitrust abuse that would generate more revenue for the infringer? How much did the two previous market tests cost in economic terms? How much time is needed to carry out a market test? The auction mechanism will only apply when Google already monetises the space used by its so-called vertical search services, e.
Google Shopping, on which merchants pay to appear. Under the proposed commitments, part of the space used by Google for its own services will be reserved for three competitors; the auction will determine who appears in the space based on bid price and relevance measured by the predicted click-through-rate. When Google does not monetise this space e.
Google Local , there would be no auction mechanism, and the choice of three rival links would be based on relevance — and would be free. As the auction mechanism means that Google would give its competitors a space for which its own customers would pay, the remedy would not generate more revenues for Google. Under the auction mechanism, the winning bidders would pay the next highest price this is a second price auction , and only when users click on their link.
As the auction mechanism is based on individual keywords, it would enable SMEs to target their bids effectively and compete to the benefit of consumers. The time and resources needed to carry out a market test vary according to size and complexity, so it is not possible to estimate the average cost and duration of a particular test. The Commission has already carried out two detailed market tests on earlier versions of the commitments and has gathered enough information and input from stakeholders, to assess the effectiveness of the proposed commitments.
The Commission is currently drafting pre-rejection letters and will meet complainants in May. Complainants will then have the opportunity to respond to those letters. Asunto: Procedimiento contra Google en materia de competencia y tercer conjunto de medidas correctivas — Soluciones e intereses de los consumidores. Corresponde luego a ellos elegir la mejor alternativa. The auction mechanism introduced as a remedy for search bias benefits those companies with money to spend, not those with the most relevant or useful results for consumers.
Another important issue regarding the auction requirement is that it will force the advertised prices higher than they would be if the rival links were free. Could the Commission specifically explain how consumer interests are protected and guaranteed by this third set of remedies? With regard to the monitoring trustee, who will ensure proper compliance with the settlement? There is no provision to allow third parties the opportunity to provide direct feedback to the monitoring trustee on implementation; can the Commission confirm that this is the case?
Can the BEUC or any other interested party which is not an official complainant address the monitoring trustee? As regards the Commission's concern relating to Google's business practices in the field of specialised search, Google's commitments now provide that it would display prominent links to three rival specialised search services in a format which would be visually comparable to that of links to its own services.
This principle would apply not only for existing specialised search services, but also to changes in the presentation of those services and for future services. Consumers, who previously may not have been aware that Google was promoting its own specialised search services or who may not have seen relevant alternatives in Google's results would have a real choice between competing services presented in a comparable way; it would then be up to them to choose the best alternative.
The proposed commitments foresee a monitoring trustee. The monitoring trustee would assist the Commission in ensuring Google faithfully implements any commitments. Monitoring trustees cannot legally take decisions on behalf of the Commission, but they can provide the Commission with technical advice on any aspect related to the implementation of commitments. For instance, any third party would have the opportunity to raise potential compliance issues with the monitoring trustee.
Come si evince dallo studio realizzato da SRM Intesa San Paolo in collaborazione con Prometeia sull'interdipendenza economico-produttiva tra Sud e Centro-Nord in Italia, per ogni euro di investimenti effettuati al Sud si verifica un «effetto dispersione» a beneficio del Centro-Nord pari a 40,9 euro. Un effetto di peso diverso, invece, si registra nel caso opposto dove per ogni euro investiti al Centro-Nord si verifica un «effetto dispersione» a beneficio del Mezzogiorno pari a 4,7 euro.
Spostando l'attenzione sul «sistema paese», invece, un investimento effettuato al Sud ha una ricaduta positiva sul resto della Nazione, alimentandone la domanda. I fondi strutturali UE svolgono un ruolo importante nel sostenere gli investimenti nelle regioni, incluse quelle dell'Italia meridionale, e nel favorire l'ammodernamento della base industriale e delle infrastrutture vitali per le loro imprese. Durante il periodo di programmazione i fondi strutturali europei avevano reso disponibili 21,3 miliardi di EUR per Campania, Sicilia, Puglia, Calabria e Basilicata.
Per il periodo per queste regioni saranno complessivamente disponibili 22,3 miliardi di EUR di finanziamenti a titolo della politica di coesione. Tali strategie regionali di specializzazione intelligente costituiscono il principio generale per guidare le politiche regionali di innovazione e industriali. However, the scattering effect is not as strong in the opposite direction, with every EUR invested in central and northern Italy generating the equivalent of EUR 4.
The scattering effect is a negative indicator for southern Italy, with the evidence suggesting that southern Italy is unable to internalise the effects of investment. The aviation industry in the south, for example, generates Is it aware of the fact that major investment in southern Italy can produce benefits not only for the south but for the whole of Italy which is one of the original Member States of the European Union and also for the EU?
What steps can the Commission take in this respect, and what support measures might it provide to reinvigorate investment in southern Italy or make it more attractive to new investors? The Commission is fully aware that industrial investments have beneficial effects beyond their immediate environment, based on the value chains of industry.
For regions like southern Italy, indeed for all regions and Member States it is important to focus on capturing value from investments in innovation and modernisation, as these investments are indispensable ways to create value and new jobs The structural funds of the EU play an important role in supporting investment in regions, including southern Italy, in modernising their industrial base and the infrastructure on which their industries rely.
During the programming period , EUR For the period, EUR For the programming period, the Commission has called on Member States to facilitate the integration of EU firms, in particular SMEs, in global value chains to increase their competitiveness and ensure access to global markets in more favourable competitive conditions.
The Commission is closely working with Member States and regions to ensure that priorities are correctly identified in order to maximise the investment potential. Member States are required to draw up innovation strategies to identify the unique characteristics and assets of each country and region.
These regional smart specialisation strategies serve as a general guiding principle for regional innovation and industrial policies. Il decreto legislativo n. As regards management, associations or foundations are, under the decree, independent for the purposes of management, organisation, and accounting, provided that they observe the principles set out in the relevant article of the decree without contravening the limits imposed by the decree in view of the public nature of the activities performed.
Even though they have been listed by the authorities as public social security bodies, the privatised social security bodies are now in the process of selling property under private-law arrangements different from those applied by public bodies. There are therefore grounds to complain of unequal treatment between tenants of public bodies and tenants of privatised bodies and, above all, of unequal treatment between members of public bodies and members of privatised social security bodies, which have been unduly favoured.
This principle has been supported by the Italian Council of State in a recent order in which it noted that the choice of a given selling arrangement must not suffice in itself to alter the nature of the disposal transaction by turning it into a sale between private individuals, as there would otherwise inevitably be implications for the rules to be applied to the disposal of public property.
How will the Commission proceed if it obtains clear-cut evidence that there may have been a breach of EU legislation regarding transparency and non-discrimination or unequal treatment of members of public bodies and those of privatised bodies? In the context of EU public procurement law, the principles of transparency and equal treatment refer to situations when contracting authorities intend to procure goods, services or works. These principles are aimed to ensure a degree of advertising sufficient to enable any potential tenderer to make an offer, and that all tenderers are treated equally throughout the procurement procedure.
Therefore, they do not apply to situations such as those described by the Honourable Member, which concern an alleged unequal treatment between tenants and members of public bodies and tenants and members of privatised bodies, deriving from the choice of different selling arrangements. National rules governing these transactions can establish obligations to use transparent and non-discriminatory procedures for the sale or lease of property.
However, the compliance with those rules is a matter of national competence; therefore the Commission does not see reasons for monitoring this situation and providing an overview thereof. Oggetto: Rappresaglie contro civili armeni in Siria e possibile coinvolgimento turco. La testata Asbarez, pluridecennale fonte giornalistica armeno-americana, ha recentemente riferito di almeno due incursioni ad opera di estremisti nei territori siriani, provenienti dal confine turco.
Pare che queste mirassero a compiere barbare rappresaglie che, secondo il giornale in parola, sono costate la vita a 80 abitanti della cittadina di Kessab, a netta prevalenza armena e cristiana. Si ricordi, a proposito della Turchia, l'ingente mole di risorse economiche e diplomatiche impiegate dall'Unione europea nel tentativo di avvicinamento di tale Stato agli standard europei, in vista di un suo ipotetico futuro ingresso nell'Unione.
In caso la predetta verifica conseguisse risultato positivo, non reputa indispensabile la Commissione reagire, anche in considerazione del fatto che si tratterebbe di pesanti violazioni delle raccomandazioni contenute nella «Relazione sui progressi compiuti dalla Turchia», quantomeno con il congelamento del processo di avvicinamento della Turchia all'Unione europea?
Secondo quanto riportato dalla stampa, gli attacchi sono stati perpetrati da gruppi affiliati a al-Qaeda. La Turchia ha ribadito in varie occasioni che non sostiene i ribelli affiliati a al-Qaeda in Siria e che mantiene aperte le proprie frontiere a tutti i rifugiati provenienti dalla Siria, armeni compresi. According to recent reports published by the long-running Armenian-American newspaper Asbarez , Turkish-based extremists have been responsible for at least two atrocities committed across the border in Syrian territory, which appear to have been waged as brutal reprisals.
In one horrific instance, 80 people were killed in the village of Kessab, which has a large Armenian and Christian population. And if the Syrian media are to be believed, these barbaric acts are being covered up, or in any case tolerated, by the Turkish authorities. When it comes to Turkey, nobody needs reminding of the sheer scale of the financial and diplomatic resources expended by the European Union in a bid to bring this country up to European standards, so that it may one day be welcomed into the Union.
Given the alarming events that have been reported, does the Commission not believe that it urgently needs to launch its own diplomatic enquiries in order to find out whether there is any truth to the deeply disturbing rumours that the Turkish Government may have been involved in these atrocities in some way, even indirectly or through its failure to take any actions against them?
And if it emerges that these rumours are true, then surely the Commission would be impelled, at the very least, to suspend the process for bringing Turkey closer to the European Union, not least because such involvement would constitute a flagrant breach of the recommendations set forth in the Progress Report on Turkey? The Commission is aware of news reports mentioned in the question. The reports mention that the attacks were carried by al-Qaeda affiliated groups.
Turkey has reiterated on many occasions that it does not support al-Qaeda affiliated rebels in Syria and that it keeps its borders open to all refugees from Syria, including Armenians. Jaar na jaar kent de Vlaamse landbouw en veehouderij een groeiende intensivering en schaalvergroting.
Steeds meer dieren worden door steeds minder landbouwers gehouden, in alsmaar grotere mega stallen. Strengere regelgeving in Nederland — waar sinds provincies en gemeentes maxima kunnen opleggen voor de veehouderij-intensiteit en de grootte van een veehouderijlocatie in een gebied — zorgt voor een versnelling van de industrialisering van veehouderij in Vlaanderen.
