lpv:spoken text	"I would not only like to ask a supplementary question but would also like to re-ask the original question, because I notice that the Minister has now ducked the previous question as well as this one, which is not very appropriate. I accept that this is a matter for Member States. My question is whether the Council can, by encouraging use of best practice, use its influence so that we can better learn from each other. My attention has been drawn specifically to the case of British expatriates in Spain who have told me that, whereas they used to be able to vote in their home country of the UK provided they had been registered within the previous 20 years, our present government has now made it more difficult by reducing this time to 15 years. Do you know of any other Member State that is making it more difficult for expatriates to vote and would you not wish to encourage your colleagues to make it easier? Please answer and do not say nothing."@en⁴

Jeg forstår, at det er noget, der henhører under medlemsstaterne. Mit spørgsmål er, om Rådet ved at opmuntre til anvendelsen af bedste praksis kan bruge sin indflydelse, så vi bedre kan lære af hinanden. Min opmærksomhed er i særdeleshed blevet henledt på et tilfælde med engelske statsborgere i Spanien, som har fortalt mig, at hvor de plejede at kunne stemme i deres hjemland, Det Forenede Kongerige, hvis de var blevet registreret inden for de sidste 20 år, har vores nuværende regering gjort det vanskeligere ved at nedsætte denne periode til 15 år. Kender De nogen anden medlemsstat, der gør det mere vanskeligt for sine statsborgere i udlandet at stemme, og ville De ikke gerne tilskynde Deres kolleger til at gøre det lettere? Vær venlig at svare i stedet for ikke at sige noget."@da² "Ich möchte nicht nur eine Zusatzfrage, sondern die ursprüngliche Frage noch einmal stellen, denn ich stelle fest, dass der Minister jetzt sowohl der vorhergehenden als auch dieser Frage ausgewichen ist, was ich nicht billigen kann. Ich sehe ein, dass dies Sache der Mitgliedstaaten ist. Meine Frage ist, ob der Rat seinen Einfluss geltend machen und den Einsatz bewährter Praktiken empfehlen kann, damit wir besser voneinander lernen können. Ich wurde speziell auf den Fall expatriierter Briten in Spanien aufmerksam, die mir berichteten, dass sie in ihrem Heimatland Großbritannien unter der Voraussetzung wählen konnten, dass sie dort während der vergangenen 20 Jahre gemeldet waren, und die jetzige Regierung es nun schwieriger gemacht hat, indem diese Frist auf 15 Jahre verkürzt wurde. Kennen Sie noch andere Mitgliedstaaten, in denen es jetzt schwieriger für expatriierte Bürger ist, ihr Wahlrecht auszuüben, und möchten Sie nicht Ihre Kollegen dazu anhalten, das zu erleichtern? Bitte antworten Sie und sagen Sie etwas Konkretes."@de⁹ "Δεν θέλω να θέσω απλώς μια συμπληρωματική ερώτηση αλλά να θέσω εκ νέου την αρχική ερώτηση, διότι διαπιστώνω ότι ο κ. υπουργός απέφυγε να απαντήσει στο προηγούμενο ερώτημα καθώς και σε αυτό, και αυτό δεν είναι σωστό εκ μέρους του. Αντιλαμβάνομαι ότι πρόκειται για θέμα αρμοδιότητας των κρατών μελών. Το ερώτημά μου είναι εάν το Συμβούλιο μπορεί, ενθαρρύνοντας τη χρήση της βέλτιστης πρακτικής, να ασκήσει την επιρροή του ώστε να μπορέσουμε καλύτερα να αντλήσουμε αμοιβαία διδάγματα. Μου επέστησαν την προσοχή ειδικότερα στο θέμα των βρετανών μεταναστών στην Ισπανία, οι οποίοι με πληροφόρησαν ότι, ενώ παλαιότερα είχαν τη δυνατότητα να ψηφίσουν στη χώρα καταγωγής τους, το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, εφόσον είχαν εγγραφεί στους εκλογικούς καταλόγους εντός της προηγούμενης εικοσαετίας, η παρούσα κυβέρνησή μας έχει δυσκολέψει αυτή τη διαδικασία μειώνοντας αυτό το χρονικό διάστημα σε 15 έτη. Έχετε μήπως υπόψη σας κάποιο άλλο κράτος μέλος το οποίο έχει καταστήσει πιο δύσκολη τη διαδικασία συμμετοχής των μεταναστών στην εκλογική διαδικασία και μήπως επιθυμείτε να ενθαρρύνετε τους συναδέλφους σας να διευκολύνουν τις αντίστοιχες διαδικασίες τους; Σας παρακαλώ να μου απαντήσετε και να μην επιλέξετε τη σιωπή."@el¹⁰ "No solo quisiera formular una pregunta complementaria, sino que además quiero volver a plantear la pregunta original, porque me he dado cuenta de que el señor Ministro ha esquivado la pregunta anterior, igual que esta, lo que no me parece muy apropiado. Acepto que es una cuestión de los Estados miembros. Mi pregunta es si el Consejo, fomentando el uso de las mejores prácticas, puede utilizar su influencia para que podamos aprender mejor unos de otros. Me ha llamado la atención, concretamente, el caso de los expatriados británicos en España que me han dicho que, aunque solían poder votar en su país de origen del Reino Unido siempre que hubieran estado inscritos en los 20 años anteriores, nuestro Gobierno actual se lo ha puesto aún más difícil reduciendo ese plazo a quince años. ¿Sabe de algún Estado miembro que esté dificultando aún más el voto de sus expatriados y no le gustaría animar a sus colegas a que lo facilitaran? Por favor responda y no pronuncie palabras que no dicen nada."@es²⁰ "I would not only like to ask a supplementary question but would also like to re-ask the original question, because I notice that the Minister has now ducked the previous question as well as this one, which is not very appropriate.

Se ei ole kovin soveliasta. Hyväksyn sen, että asia kuuluu jäsenvaltioiden toimivaltaan. Kysyn, voiko neuvosto käyttää vaikutusvaltaansa – kannustamalla parhaiden käytäntöjen käyttöön – siten, että voisimme ottaa paremmin oppia toisistamme. Huomioni on kiinnittynyt erityisesti Espanjassa asuvien Ison-Britannian kansalaisten tapaukseen. He kertoivat minulle voineensa aiemmin äänestää entisessä kotimaassaan, Yhdistyneessä kuningaskunnassa, kunhan heidät oli rekisteröity viimeisten 20 vuoden sisällä, kun taas nykyinen hallituksemme on vaikeuttanut asiaa lyhentämällä aikaa 15 vuoteen. Tiedättekö mitään muuta jäsenvaltiota, joka olisi vaikeuttanut maasta muuttaneiden henkilöiden äänestämistä? Entä haluatteko kannustaa kollegojanne helpottamaan tilannetta? Olkaa hyvä ja vastatkaa, mutta älkää olko sanomatta mitään."@fi⁷ "Je voudrais non seulement poser une question complémentaire, mais également reposer la question initiale parce que je constate que le ministre a éludé la question précédente et celle-ci, ce qui n’est pas très approprié. Je conviens qu’il s’agit d’une question qui incombe aux États membres. Ma question est de savoir si le Conseil peut, en encourageant l’utilisation de meilleures pratiques, user de son influence afin que nous puissions mieux apprendre les uns des autres. Mon attention a été en particulier attirée sur le cas des expatriés britanniques en Espagne, qui m’ont dit que s’ils pouvaient auparavant voter dans leur pays d’origine s’ils y étaient enregistrés au cours des 20 ans précédents, notre gouvernement actuel a rendu cela plus difficile en raccourcissant cette période à 15 ans. Connaissez-vous un autre État membre qui rende le vote aussi difficile à ses expatriés et ne souhaiteriez-vous pas encourager vos collègues à le faciliter davantage? Je vous demande de répondre et de ne pas rester silencieux."@fr⁸ "I would not only like to ask a supplementary question but would also like to re-ask the original question, because I notice that the Minister has now ducked the previous question as well as this one, which is not very appropriate.

Concordo sul fatto che la materia sia di competenza degli Stati membri. Io avevo chiesto se il Consiglio può, incoraggiando il ricorso alle migliori pratiche, esercitare la sua influenza affinché si possa trarre insegnamento gli uni dagli altri. La mia attenzione è stata richiamata, in modo specifico, sul caso degli espatriati britannici in Spagna, che mi hanno riferito che, mentre prima potevano votare nel loro paese di origine nel Regno Unito a condizione di essere stati registrati nei 20 anni precedenti, ora l’attuale governo ha reso loro le cose più difficili, riducendo questo periodo a 15 anni. Conosce qualche altro Stato membro che rende più difficile il diritto di voto per gli espatriati? Non desidera incoraggiare i suoi colleghi a rendere più semplice la procedura? La prego di rispondere e di non essere evasivo."@it¹² "I would not only like to ask a supplementary question but would also like to re-ask the original question, because I notice that the Minister has now ducked the previous question as well as this one, which is not very appropriate.

Ik zie namelijk dat de minister nu ook over deze vraag heen springt, net zoals hij bij de vorige heeft gedaan, en dat is niet echt zoals het hoort. Goed, dit is een kwestie voor de lidstaten, maar mijn vraag is of de Raad misschien zijn invloed kan aanwenden en het gebruik van goede praktijken kan aanmoedigen, opdat wij meer van elkaar kunnen leren. Mijn aandacht gaat specifiek uit naar het geval van de in Spanje wonende Britse onderdanen. Die hebben mij verteld dat zij voorheen altijd in hun land, de VK, konden stemmen, als zij maar binnen de afgelopen twintig jaar ergens ingeschreven stonden, maar dat de huidige regering dat moeilijker heeft gemaakt door de tijdspanne terug te brengen tot vijftien jaar. Is u een andere lidstaat bekend die het voor zijn in het buitenland verblijvende onderdanen moeilijker maakt om te stemmen, en zou u uw collega’s er niet veeleer toe aanmoedigen dit gemakkelijker te maken? Geeft u alstublieft een antwoord, en zwijgt u niet."@nl³ "I would not only like to ask a supplementary question but would also like to re-ask the original question, because I notice that the Minister has now ducked the previous question as well as this one, which is not very appropriate.

Reconheço que o assunto é da competência dos Estados-Membros. O que eu pergunto é se o Conselho, encorajando o recurso às melhores práticas, pode exercer influência de modo a podermos aprender alguma coisa uns com os outros. Os expatriados britânicos em Espanha, especificamente, chamaram-me a atenção para o seu caso: contaram-me que, antes, podiam votar no seu país natal, o Reino Unido, desde que tivessem estado inscritos nos 20 anos anteriores, e que o nosso governo actual tornou a ida às urnas mais difícil, reduzindo o período de inscrição para 15 anos. Tem conhecimento de outros Estados-Membros que estejam a tornar mais difícil o voto para os expatriados, e não quererá encorajar os seus colegas a facilitarem a situação? Por favor, dê-me uma resposta, não se mantenha em silêncio."@pt¹⁷ "I would not only like to ask a supplementary question but would also like to re-ask the original question, because I notice that the Minister has now ducked the previous question as well as this one, which is not very appropriate.

Jag accepterar att detta är en fråga för medlemsstaterna. Min fråga är huruvida rådet genom att sporra till användning av bästa metoder kan använda sitt inflytande så att vi kan lära oss mer av varandra. Det är framför allt fallet med utflyttade britter i Spanien som har väckt mitt intresse. De har berättat för mig att medan de förut kunde rösta i sitt hemland, Förenade kungariket, förutsatt att de hade varit skrivna där någon gång de senaste 20 åren, så har vår nuvarande regering försvårat för dem genom att minska den tiden till 15 år. Känner ni till någon annan medlemsstat som gör det svårare för utflyttade medborgare att rösta och skulle ni inte vilja uppmana era kolleger till att göra det enklare? Får jag be om ett svar, säg inte ingenting."@sv²¹
