von Wogau (PPE). — (DE) Først og fremmest vil jeg gerne takke for, at Rådet i dette tilfælde har gjort brug af muligheden af at træffe en flertalsafgørelse.
Mr von Wogau (PPE). — (DE) First of all I would like to congratulate the Council that in this case it has made use of the possibility of majority decision.
Det er et vigtigt skridt i den rigtige retning.
That is an important step in the right direction.
Jeg vil gerne stille to tillægsspørgsmål.
I would like to ask two supplementary questions.
Passer det, at man på dette møde om det indre marked også i væsentlig grad forhøjede rejsendes afgiftsfri indførsel, således som Parlamentet har krævet det, nemlig i retning af 280 ECU?
Is it correct, that in the context of this internal market conference the free allowances for travellers will also be considerably increased, as asked for by Parliament, to about 280 ECU ?
Drøftelserne fortsætter inden for de forskellige områder, der vedrører det interne marked.
I have no hesitation in saying that the Community is continuing to make progress.
For en række sagers vedkommende vil drøftelserne komme til at foregå på andre fagministersamlinger, såsom samlingen af økonomi- og finansministrene og samlingen af trafikministrene.
It is making decidedly impressive progress in difficult areas. On Monday we had a metting with the seven countries of the Euro­pean Free Trade Association, the first ministerial meeting since these agreements were signed, to esta­blish that these agreements are now fully accepted, that we have succeeded, at this time of crisis and diffi­culties, in creating the biggest free­trade area in the history of the world, an area accounting for 25% of world trade.
Der vil blive afholdt endnu en rådssamling om det interne marked inden udgangen af første halvår, sandsynligvis i juni.
In the circumstances I find that this Community, which is the butt of so much criticism and is said to be ineffectual, is currently giving an example of what can be achieved when one believes, as we all believe, that the rules of free trade are an essential factor in the development of each of our countries.
I sammenhæng med det nye instrument for den eksterne handel var der 16 direktiver på tale på området avanceret teknologi, som længe har været blokeret af denne grund.
In connection with the new instrument for foreign trade 16 directives in the area of the leading technolo­gies discussed, were for a long time blocked for this reason.
Vedtog man eller vil man nu samtidig med vedtagelsen af instrumentet for den eksterne handel også vedtage de 16 direktiver?
Have they been adopted or will they now be adopted at the same time as the adoption of the foreign trade instrument ?
Rådet af trafikministre gjorde på samlingen den 22. marts 1984 fremskridt i deres drøftelser om gennem førelsen af direktivet om forenkling af fysisk kontrol og administrative formaliteter i forbindelse med godstransport mellem medlemsstaterne.
Mr Welsh (ED). — I am sure that we all agree that for the Council to agree on anything is a matter for congratulation. But, of course, there are another seven directives which are currently blocked in addition to the 15.
Rådet tog til efterretning, at alle medlemsstaterne gav tilsagn om yderligere at bestræbe sig på at gennemføre direktivet.
They are held up because of the failure of the Member States to agree about third country certifica­tion.
Rådet noterede endvidere, at de fleste medlemsstater, herunder Frankrig og Luxembourg, ikke vil gøre brug af den mulighed, direktivet giver for at udsætte gennemførelsen af artikel 5 om grænseovergangsstedernes åbningstider.
So could Mr Cheysson justify his admirable senti­ments and give us an assurance that the French Presid­ency will put these other seven directives to the Council and that, if necessary, they will also be passed by a qualified majority ?
Cheysson. — (FR) Ja, spørgsmålet om afgiftsfrihed blev behandlet.
Mr Cheysson. — (FR) The problem of the allowance was indeed discussed.
Undskyld mig, at jeg ikke kan garantere, om det blev det på grundlag af de 280 ECU, som det ærede medlem netop nævnede. Det er tilnærmelsesvis tallet.
I am afraid that I cannot abso­lutely guarantee that this was on the basis of the 280 ECU mentioned by the Honourable Member, although that was roughly the figure.
Det nøjagtige tal findes naturligvis i direktivet derom.
The exact figure is of course to be found in the corresponding direc­tive.
Endelig glæder det mig at kunne bekræfte, at man i Parlamentet, da man traf afgørelsen om at vedtage det ny handelspolitiske instrument — og denne gang enstemmigt — bekræftede afgørelsen om at sætte femten direktiver i kraft om ophævelse af de tekniske hindringer inden for det fælles marked.
I am also happy to confirm to Parliament that when the decision to adopt the new instrument of commercial policy was taken, the decision to bring into force 15 directives removing technical obstacles within the common market was also confirmed — on this occasion unanimously.
To regeringer tog to tekniske forbehold, men forpligtede sig til at ophæve disse afventende forbehold i løbet af ugen.
Two technical reservations were entered by two governments, but they undertook to withdraw them during the course of the week.
I begyndelsen af næste uge vil de femten direktiver derfor være i kraft.
That said, I confirm that 7 directives are indeed still under consideration.
Grækenland vil bestræbe sig på ikke at gøre brug af denne mulighed.
Well, the day before yesterday there were 22, and now there are only 7.
Da de følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi under ét behandle spørgsmål nr. 60 af Rogalla, overtaget af Seeler (H-321/83):
Since they deal with the same subject, I call Question No 60 by Mr Rogalla (H­321/83) which has been taken over by Mr Seeler :
Om: Personkontrol ved de interne grænser
Subject : Personal checks at internal Community frontiers
Mäher (L). — (EN) Er rådsformanden ikke enig i, at Rådets skildpadelignende fremskridt henimod udviklingen af det indre marked meget mere skyldes regeringers utilbøjelighed til eller direkte vægring ved at afgive nogen yderligere suverænitet til Det euro pæiske Fællesskab, end det skyldes noget handelspolitisk problem, og er det ikke klart, på et tidspunkt hvor Det europæiske Fællesskab alvorligt mangler midler fra budgettet, at en åbning af det indre marked faktisk vil give store besparelser på dette budget?
Mr Maher (L). — Would the President­in­Office of the Council not agree that the tortoise­like progress of the Council towards developing the internal market is due much more to the reluctance or indeed the refusal of governments to concede any further sover­eignty to the European Community than to any trade policy problems, and at a time when the European Community is seriously short of resources through the budget, is it not clear that an opening up of the internal market would, in fact, make great savings in that budget ?
Hvorledes stiller Rådet sig til medlemsstaternes argument om, at et vist antal anholdelser inden for problematiske områder (f.eks. indre sikkerhed, narkotika, indvandrerpolitik og våben) taler imod den gradvise afskaffelse af personkontrollen ved Fællesskabets interne grænser?
What is the Council's view of the Member States' contention that a number of arrests in sensitive areas (e.g. internal security, drugs, immigration policy, weapons, etc.) argues against the gradual abolition of personal checks at internal Commu­nity frontiers ?
Ligger Rådet inde med statistikker fra medlemsstaterne eller egne undersøgelser, der f.eks. kan efterprøves og vurderes med hensyn til det i hvert enkelt tilfælde påkrævede personale, og hvad er resultatet af sådanne overvejelser, f.eks. sammenlignet med tilsvarende oplysninger fra USA eller den nordiske pasunion?
Does the Council have statistics from the Member States, or its own data, which can be tested and weighed, for example, against the requisite manpower costs in each case and what are the results of such enquiries in compar­ison with data from the USA or the Nordic Pass­port Union ?
Cheysson. — (FR) Det er ikke min sædvane, men jeg ville være fristet til på min side at svare det ærede medlem med et spørgsmål.
Mr Cheysson. — (FR) I do not make a habit of this, but I am tempted to answer the Honourable Member's question with another question.
Er det ikke ret bemærkelsesværdigt, at der i denne krisetid, hvor presset fra de arbejdsløse mærkes i hvert enkelt land, kan vedtages femten direktiver om ophævelse af tekniske hin dringer?
Is it not rather remarkable that it should be during this period of crisis, with pressure form the unemployed in all our countries, that we should manage to adopt 15 direc­tives eliminating technical obstacles ?
Det havde man ikke gjort i medgangstider — nu gør man det i denne krisetid.
We did not manage it during the period of prosperity, but now we have at this time of crisis.
Jeg tøver ikke med at sige, at Fællesskabet fortsat gør fremskridt.
Debates of the European Parliament
Cheysson, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Disse spørgsmål drejer sig om personkontrollen ved grænserne og ikke længere om den varekontrol, vi talte om for lidt siden.
President and Question No 61 by Mr Van Minnen (H-570/83) :
Kommissionen har fremsat et forslag til beslutning om lempelse af kontrollen.
would like to ask you whether you agree with me, that it is very important for the formation of a European consciousness, before the next direct elections in June, to reduce to a minimum the remaining controls on persons ?
Arbejdet i Rådet, der bl.a. videreføres i lyset af Europa-Parlamentets henstillinger, er tilstrækkelig langt fremme til, at der kan forelægges Rådet om generelle anliggender et forslag på dets samling den 14. og 25. maj 1984, dvs. den næste samling.
How does the Council regard the noticeable increase in personal checks at the Dutch-Belgian frontier, which clearly conflicts with Council decisions aimed at reducing checks in connection with the introduction of the European passport ?
Welsh (ED). — (EN) Jeg er sikker på, at vi alle er enige om, at det, at Rådet bliver enigt om noget som helst, må vi udtrykke vor anerkendelse af.
Mr Cheysson, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) These questions are concerned with personal checks at frontiers, whereas we were talking earlier about checks on goods.
Men der er jo syv andre direktiver, som for tiden blokeres, foruden de 15.
The Commission has submitted a draft resolution on relaxation of these checks.
De forsinkes, fordi medlemsstaterne ikke kan blive enige om et oprindelsescertifikat for tredjelenade.
The Council's deliberations, which have been conducted in the light, in particular, of the European Parliament's recommendations, have made enough progress for a draft to be submitted to the next Council meeting on general affairs, on 14 and 15 May 1984.
Kan hr. Cheysson derfor underbygge sine beundringsværdige meninger ved at give os en forsikring om, at det franske formandskab vil fore lægge Rådet disse syv andre direktiver, og at de om nødvendigt også vil blive vedtaget med kvalificeret flertal?
It is true that, during the course of examination of this draft, arguments have been put forward along the lines indicated by Mr Rogalla on the subject of the contribution to security made by personal checks and other procedures, and indeed some of these arguments appear to have some foundation.
Cheysson. — (FR) Traktaten fastsætter enstemmighed på dette område.
Mr Cheysson. — (ER) The President of the Council of Ministers would wish to be associated with what has just been said and the President of the Community made it clear that this was his position at the European Council meeting.
Når det er sagt, bekræfter jeg, at syv direktiver endnu er til behandling.
Certainly, each of our services has reasons to advance, and these reasons are valid.
Nuvel, i forgårs var der toogtyve, der var det, nu er der kun syv.
Although it is true that checks at frontiers do not in themselves constitute an effective means of combating criminality, they do help.
Til hr. van Minnen vil jeg gerne sige, at det tilkommer medlemsstaterne at fastsætte, hvor ofte og under hvilke betingelser grænsekontrollen skal finde sted, under hensyntagen til traktaterne og de bestemmelser der er vedtaget i medfør heraf.
To Mr Van Minnen I would say that it is for the Member States, subject to the requirements of the Treaties and provisions introduced pursuant to them, to determine the extent of checks at their frontiers and the procedures according to which they are arranged.
Jeg skal desuden oplyse hr. van Minnen om, at selv om ind førelsen af et ensartet pas kan lette bevægeligheden for medlemsstaternes borgere, pålægger resolutionen af 23. juni 1981, ikke medlemsstaterne nogen forpligtelse med hensyn til at mindske hyppigheden eller omfanget af grænsekontrollen.
I would also say to Mr Van Minnen that although the introduction of a uniform passport is likely to facilitate travel by nationals of the Member States, the Resolution of 23 June 1981 does not impose strictness of checks at frontiers.
Det er dette mål, der sættes i det udkast til resolution, jeg nævnte i indledningen til mit svar.
This objective is being pursued through the draft resolution to which I referred at the beginning of my reply.
Formanden. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 59 blive besvaret skriftligt (').
Mr Seal (S). — As the French Presidency has achieved so much during its term of office to ease travelling across internal frontiers, would the President-in-Office of the Council assure this House that he will continue to do all in his power to ensure that British citizens travelling within the Community on one-year holiday passports are not stopped at internal Community frontiers merely because they are coloured ?
Cheysson. — (FR) Det er ikke et problem for Fælles skabet.
Mr Cheysson. — (FR) This is not a Community problem.
Jeg vil dog svare på det af høflighed over for det ærede medlem.
I shall nevertheless reply, out of courtesy to the Honourable Member.
Problemet er, at på den måde garanterer almindelige rejsebureauer den statslige stilling for rejsende, som efter vor opfattelse ikke er vort naboland, Det fore nede Kongeriges statsborgere.
However, as I was saying in connection with checks on goods, there has been an important political development which should make it easier for us to deal with these matters along the lines proposed by the Commission.
Det forekommer os ikke naturligt, at sådanne dokumenter kan udleveres af private organer.
Several of the heads of delegation present in Brussels on 19 and 20 March laid great emphasis on this fact and, moreover, spoke in the same terms at the press conferences they held following the meeting.
pæiske Råds meget klare og præcise stillingtagen den 19. og 20. marts, da det anbefalede, at man hurtigst muligt træffer afgørelse om »en afgørende forenkling af grænseformaliteterne«.
The problem is that mere travel agencies are issuing travel documents to people who are not, in our eyes, citizens of the United Kingdom, which is our neighbour.
Rådet om almindelige anliggender er således velorienteret til sin samling den 14. og 15. maj.
We do not consider it normal for such documents to be issued by private bodies.
Herman (PPE). — (FR) Hr. rådsformand, jeg formoder, at De efter det svar, De netop har givet hr. Seeler, formelt misbilliger det svar, som Deres tjene stegrene har givet os, hvad angår den måde, hvorpå borgerne underkastes kontrol og accepterer den.
Mr Seeler (S). — (DE) Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I assume that you agree with me that the success of the fight against international crime is not dependent on the continued existence of frontier controls.
Men for at der ikke skal være nogen tvetydighed, vil jeg gerne have en bekræftelse af Deres holdning.
Precisely because the French Presidency of the Council has achieved so much progress in doing away with the various forms of frontier controls, I
Cheysson. — (FR) Det ærede medlem må undskylde mig.
Mr Herman (PPE). — (FR) Mr President, I suppose, in the light of the answer that you have just given to Mr Seeler, that you thoroughly disapprove the reply given to us by your staff about the way in which citizens undergo and accept checks.
Jeg kan ikke alle tjenestegrenes svar om alt muligt udenad.
But, so that we may be left in no doubt, I should like to receive confirmation of your position.
Så jeg ved ikke, hvad han hentyder til.
Debates of the European Parliament
Seeler (S). — (DE) Hr. formand for Rådet, jeg forudsætter, at De er enig med mig i, at resultatet af bekæmpelsen af den internationale kriminalitet ikke er afhængigt af fortsat grænsekontrol.
Mr Cheysson. — (FR) With respect to the Honourable Member, I do not have all the replies made by my staff on all subjects at my fingertips, I therefore do not know to what he is referring.
Herman (PPE). — (FR) Jeg skal læse det for Dem.
Mr Herman (PPE). — (FR) Then I can read it out for you.
De borgere, der underkastes kontrol ved grænserne, er fuldt ud klar over grundene til denne kontrol.
'Citizens undergoing checks at frontiers are fully aware of the reasons for such checks.
Der er derfor ingen grund til at for uroliges over deres eventuelle negative reaktioner i så henseende.
There is accordingly no reason for anxiety over any negative reactions that they may have in this respect.' pean Parliament and in keeping with its wish to establish ever closer relations with Parliament, it would indeed be useful and appropriate for the Council to be represented and to intervene as the occasion arises during debates of particular importance.
Jeg er overbevist om — og jeg håber, at De også er det — at der altid vil være indvendinger imod afviklingen af grænsekontrollen.
This has happened, as you will grant, on several occasions during the House's recent part-session.
Derfor håber jeg og spørger Dem, om der under det franske formandskab er mod til engang at sætte sig udover disse indvendinger og tage et virkeligt skridt fremad mod et fælles Europa?
In the interests of efficient management, the Council has also suggested that the European Parliament could give the Council advance notice when it wishes it to be repre sented at such debates, so that a mutually agreed date for each such debate could be set when Parliament's Bureau meet to prepare draft agendas.
Cheysson. — (FR) Det er sket for mig selv, inden jeg blev udenrigsminister, at jeg blev irriteret ved grænserne.
Mr Cheysson. — (FR) There were occasions, before I became Minister for External Relations, when I myself was irritated by formalities at border crossings.
Jeg kan ikke tænke mig, at det har nogen betydning.
I do not think that this is an unimportant matter.
Sherlock (ED). — (FR) Tolkningen var, at ansvaret for rejsende — jeg formoder især de farvede rejsende der er blevet standset — var selskabets.
Mr Sherlock (ED). — The translation came that the responsibility for travellers — I presume especially the coloured travellers who have been stopped — lies that of the company.
Var det en tolkningsfejl, eller kan ministeren forklare nøjagtigt, hvis ansvar han mener det er?
Was that an error of translation or could the Minister clarify exactly whose responsibility he assumes it to be ?
Formanden. — Jeg kan ikke sige, om det var en over sættelsesfejl.
President. — I cannot state whether there was a mistake in translation.
Det kræver et sprogkundskab, som jeg slet ikke er i besiddelse af.
That would need a knowledge of languages which I do not possess.
Jeg kan kun sige, at den danske oversættelse var der ikke noget i vejen med.
I can only state that the Danish translation was correct.
Sherlock (ED). — (EN) Jeg krævede ikke, at De skulle være velsignet med tre ører, selv om De har mange andre egenskaber.
Mr Sherlock (ED). — I was not asking that you should be blessed with three ears though you have many other blessings.
Cheysson. — (FR) Formanden for Rådet vil gerne tilslutte sig det netop sagte, og det forholdt sig på samme måde i Det europæiske Råd med formanden for Fællesskabet.
Mr Cheysson. — (FR) The Honourable Member has understood my reply perfectly.
Hver af vore offentlige tjenester har jo grunde af fremføre, og disse grunde er gyldige.
Various of my colleagues have in fact attended debates on several occasions.
Selv om det er rigtigt, at grænsekontrollen alene ikke gør det muligt effektivt at bekæmpe kriminaliteten, er den dog en del deraf.
I think that the President of the Agriculture Council has attended a debate here.
Man kunne sige det samme om narkotikakontrollen, sygdomskontrollen osv. Men det er nødvendigt, at vor politiske vilje til at vise offentligheden, hvad Europa er, forstås også på service niveauet.
I repeat what I said a moment ago : it is right that the Council should be represented at certain important debates, at ministerial level, in the person of its President.
Derfor denne retningslinje, som jeg gentager blev udtrykt i kategoriske vendinger i Det europæiske Råd den 19. og 20. marts, om at tjenesterne af politiske grunde skal tvinges, jeg gentager tvinges, til at forenkle formaliteterne.
We would merely ask you to make it easier for us to make the necessary arrangements by setting the dates for such particularly important debates fairly well in advance and, if possible, by agreement with the Council of Ministers.
Cheysson. — (FR) Der er her tale om et bilateralt problem og ikke om et fællesskabsproblem.
Mr Cheysson. — (FR) This is a bilateral problem, not a Community problem.
Eftersom jeg har begået den uforsigtighed at svare derpå i min egenskab af fransk minister, bekræfter jeg, at den slags rejsepas, som undertiden kan give anledning til denne vanskelighed mellem briter og franskmænd, er udstedt af private organer.
Since I was imprudent enough to reply in my capacity as a French Minister, I confirm that the travel documents which can some times give rise to this difficulty between the British and French are issued by private bodies.
Seal (S). — (EN) Da det franske formandskab har opnået så meget i sin embedsperiode med hensyn til at lette rejser over indre grænser, vil formanden for Rådet så forsikre Parlamentet om, at han fortsat vil gøre alt, hvad der står i hans magt, for at sikre, at britiske borgere, der rejser i Fællesskabet på etårs feriepas, ikke standses ved indre fællesskabsgrænser, blot fordi de er farvede?
Mr Sherlock (ED). — The responsibility for an offi cial national document can only reside with the nation issuing it and no one else at all ; and companies, whether they be travel companies or whoever, have no part in this responsibility.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams (ED).
medlemmer af Parlamentet ville glæde os over en meget bedre repræsentation af det ministerielle element i vore udvalgs arbejde.
But may we also say that as Members of Parliament we would welcome a much better representation of the ministerial element in the work of our commit tees ?
Vi har gamle forbindelser med Kommissionen, men meget spredte forbindelser med ministrene, for vort udvalgs arbejde må meget ofte fortsætte uden ministerhjælp.
We have long-established relationships with the Commission but a very patchy relationship with the Ministers because our committee work very often has to continue without ministerial assistance.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 62 af Hutton (H-588/ 83):
President. — Question (H-588/83) :
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 63 af sir James Scott-Hopkins (H-655/83):
President. — Question No 63 by Sir James Scott-Hopkins (H-655/83) :
Om : Amerikanske restriktioner for rustfrit stål
Subject : USA imposition on stainless steel
Jeg mener, at formanden for Rådet af landbrugsministre har overværet en forhandling her. Jeg gentager, hvad jeg sagde før: visse vigtige forhandlinger fortjener Rådets tilstedeværelse, på ministerplan, på formandsplan.
Would the Council of Ministers state what progress has been made in recent talks between representatives of the EC and the USA regarding the USA's imposition of restrictions on the importing of special and stainless steels from the Community ?
Cheysson. — (FR) Forhandlingerne med De forenede Stater er ikke standset.
Mr Cheysson, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) As the Council has already indicated to the Euro
