I would add that the Commission is aware of the great contribution which pensioners can make to society, not least in their own interests.

Om : Forbedring af konkurrenceevnen for industrien i Fælles skabet
The most recent financed by the Community took place in Marseilles and was very interesting.
I sin sidste beretning konstaterede Kommissionen, at den eu ropæiske industris manglende konkurrenceevne hovedsageligt beroede på, at der sammenlignet med De forenede Stater og Japan blev foretaget for få investeringer.
I would say that our points of view correspond exactly to those indicated in your question and the Commission is in the process of drawing up a communication on this subject taking as its basis the guidelines which you adopted on matters relating to the elderly.
tigelse og øget konkurrenceevne bør løbe.
Subject: Improving the competitiveness of industry in the Community
I sidste instans er omfanget af de private og industrielle investeringer dog afhængig af de enkelte virksomheders afgørelser.
A special study is being carried out into people approaching retirement because we feel that this is a sector of the population which could benefit or be affected most by such measures.
Derfor er fordelagtige og på lang sigt pålidelige ram mebetingelser så vigtige.
Returning to the question, I agree that clearing-houses can serve as a useful example.
Kommissionen, medlems staterne skal sørge for, at f.eks. betingelserne på pen ge- og kapitalmarkederne, skattesystemet, reallønsomkostningerne pr. enhed — for blot at nævne nogle — vedvarende of troværdigt forbedres, så virkomhedeme tillid til, at investeringsklimaet varer ved, ikke mindskes på grund af inteme faktorer.
In its recent report, the Commission notes that European industry's lack of competitiveness is mainly caused by the low level of investment com pared with the United States and Japan.
I denne forbindelse kan også nævnes udbygningen, styrkelsen af det europæiske valutasystem, da det nemlig vil skabe et bedre driftsmæssigt miljø for virksomhederne ved at nedsætte valutarisiciene og tilvejebringe mere stabile finansielle data.
This level has actually been declining steadily since the second oil price shock, while American industry has continued to invest, and what is more, it is in the strongest growth sectors (information technology, office automation, electronics, etc.,) that investment has declined the most in Europe and increased in the United States and Japan.
Intensiveringen af Fællesskabets forsknings- og ud viklingspolitik kan ligeledes nævnes her. Den kom mer fremfor alt til udtryk i, at den kvota til fremme af konkurrenceevnen, der er indeholdt i det af Dem bekendte udkast til rammeprogram, er mere end for doblet med en stigning fra 23% til 60% af de samlede udgifter — jeg tillader mig at henvise til programmer ne Esprit, Price, Race, Euram osv.
Finally I should like to say that under our present plan of work for the directorate-general, the Commission is financing a project to create a non-governmental organization which will end with a conference in Madrid at which there will be a comparative analysis, country by country of the law of all the Member States of the Community with a view to publicizing as far as possible the type of work which you mention and persuading the other Member States of its value so that it becomes established at Community level.
Narjes, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (DE) Opretholdelsen eller genoprettelsen af industriens konkurrenceevne er en af de vigtigste aktioner til stimulering af den økonomiske vækst og dermed til fremme af beskæftigelsen.
What investment measures does the Commission intend to put forward to enable the Community to eliminate, as soon as possible, the substantial com petitive lead which its main industrialized trading partners hold in several key sectors?
Den europæiske industri er virkelig på flere områder udsat for en stærk konkurrence fra USAs og Japans og også til dels de nye industrilandes side.
Mrs Lemass (RDE). — I would like to thank the Commissioner for such a comprehensive reply, but I would have preferred it if he had used the word 'probability' instead of 'possibility' in his opening remarks.
På kort sigt kan denne konkurrence endog for stærkes, hvis valutaforholdene ændrer sig til ulempe for de europæiske valutaer.
I know that the Commissioner does agree that when a person retires, a wealth of experience and knowledge which has been accumulated is lost.
I den beretning, som det ærede medlem omtaler, har Kommissionen analyseret de faktorer, der er bestemmende for industriens konkurrenceevne i Fællesskabet.
As the Commission has said, people are retiring at an earlier age and it would be a great help and benefit to them if they had something to do with the remainder of their lives.
Den har stillet disse over for strategierne blandt Fællesskabets partnere og udarbejdet elementer til en genrejsningspolitik.
I am glad to see that the probability exists that it will be taken on board and that all the Member States will be convinced that this is an ideal thing to pursue.
Endelig bør jeg for det fjerde fremhæve foranstaltninger til fremme af innovation — og navnlig innovationer på området små og mellemstore virksomheder, herunder foranstaltninger til at give dem bedre adgang til risikovillig kapital.
Mr Narjes, Vice-President of the Commission. — (DE) The maintaining or restoring of industrial com petitiveness is one of the most important actions that can be taken to stimulate economic growth and thus to create new jobs.
Fællesskabets lånemuligheder spiller en vis rolle her, derudover bør man dog ikke glemme muligheden for at forbedre kapital godtgørelsen.
European industry is indeed exposed to stiff competition in a number of areas from the USA and Japan, and also in some respects from threshold countries.
Jeg henviser her til den af Kommissionen oprettede European Capital Venture Association. tion.
In the short term this competition can be expected to intensify if exchange rate trends go against the European currencies.
De kritiske områder ved oprettelsen af det interne marked er Parlamentet mere end bekendt med fra sin måned lige praksis. Jeg behøver ikke gentage dem her.
In the medium term it will only be possible to maintain competitiveness if industrial change can be accomplished without hesitation and without restrictions.
Konklusion: styrkelsen af konkurrenceevnen er en stående opgave for alle de instanser, der bærer et øko-nomisk-politisk ansvar.
In the report to which the honourable Member refers the Commission has analysed the factors determining industrial competitive ness in the Community.
Når det er sagt, må jeg spørge ham, hvorfor han, når
Former Oral Question with debate (0-26/86) transformed into a question for Question Time.
Det er således helt afgørende for konkurrenceevnens udvikling, at de private og offentlige investeringer øges. I betragtning af produktemes kortere og kortere levetid og processemes kortere og kortere levetid er innovationsinvesteringerne og investeringerne til styrkelse af den europæiske industris innovationsevne af særlig betydning her.
Mr Marin. — (ES) Clearly a person in my position has to refer to possibilities because, as I have already said, the budget available to us at the Commission is severely limited.
Kommissionens har i øvrigt med sin kooperative vækststrategi fastlagt, hvordan vejen mod øgede investeringer, merbeskæf
Our work can be helpful in convincing national authorities to adopt this kind of policy.
Lalor han brugte så megen tid på at svare, ikke gjorde sig den ulejlighed at besvare det spørgsmål, der var stillet ham.
I would refer in that connection to the European Venture Capital Association set up by the Commission.
Mener han ikke, at en del af årsagen kan være, at lønningerne i visse medlemsstater fortsat er steget mere en produktiviteten, mens de sociale omkostninger ved at beskæftige arbejdskraft i andre lande er så høje, at firmaerne mister konkurrenceevnen?
Of the measures that merit specific mention, the following in particular should be noted: Firstly, completion of the internal market in accordance with the Commission's white paper — the House is familiar with the details.
Dette er selvfølgelig netop den politik, som det ærede medlem overfor slår til lyd for.
The House will be familiar, to say the least, from its monthly proceedings, with the areas critical to the establishment of the internal market.
Spørgsmålet var: Hvilke investeringsforanstaltninger agter Kommissionen at foreslå for at sætte Fællesskabet i stand til at eliminere det betydelige konkurrencemæssige forspring, som han har skitseret for os?
Mr Lalor (RDE). — I am indeed extra grateful to the Commissioner for his wonderful assessment of the problem and for outlining all the things that need to be done in relation to the background to why we in Europe have fallen so seriously behind Japan and the US.
Jeg håber, at han i sit tillægssvar ikke vil bekymre sig alt for meget for den afgørende strategi, som Rådet ved tog for mere en 12 måneder siden, og de vidunderlige ting, der kunne gøres eller muligvis ville blive gjort, hvis EMS blev bragt i orden.
I would hope that by way of supplementary reply he would not bother too much about the essential strategy agreed by the Council over 12 months ago and the wonderful things that could be done or might be done if the EMS were straightened out.
Det, han virkelig nævnte, var muligheden for at øge Esprit fra 23% til 60%.
The one thing he did mention was the possibility of increasing Esprit from 23% to 60%.
Jeg vil geme bede ham om at besvare spørgsmålet og ikke fortsat gøre det, jeg er bange for at han gør, nem lig spiller mens Rom brænder.
I would ask him to reply to the question and not to continue to do what I am afraid he is doing, fiddling while Rome burns.
Kunne de administrative afdelinger manglende evne til at fore bygge svig ikke have været undgået, hvis vægten havde været lagt på fremstillingen af et kvalitetsprodukt, hvor vinproducenterne gives et stærkt kommercielt incitament til at beskytte kvaliteten af deres vin, og hvor der meget ofte findes eller kunne indføres effektive metoder til kontrol, som kan foretages af producenterne selv?
This means that with shorter and shorter product life spans and shorter and shorter life spans for production processes, a decisive importance will attach to innovatory investment and investment to strengthen the innovating power of European industry.
Traktaten giver nemlig ikke Kom missionen nogen som helst mulighed for at foretage direkte investeringer i erhvervslivet, og finansforordningen giver den ikke nogen mulighed for og kompetence til at foretage direkte investeringer i den offentlige sektor.
The basis of this strategy, adopted by the Council more than a year ago, is a combination of measures: moderation in the increase in real employment costs with a view to increasing the profitability of undertakings; measures to stimulate overall demand, so that new investment opportunities can be created and existing ones main tained; and improvements in framework conditions.
Derfor overraskede Deres spørgsmål mig, da der nemlig ikke er holdepunkt herfor i traktaten.
That is why favourable framework conditions that remain reliable in the long term are so important.
Kommissionen og Fællesskabet kan kun udvikle poli tik, de kan ikke som supplement træde ind i en virksomhedsejers eller en medlemsstats rolle.
The Commission and the Member States must take care for example to ensure that conditions on the financial and capital markets, the tax system and real unit wage costs — to name only these few — are last ingly and convincingly improved so as to ensure that firms' confidence in the continuation of a favourable investment climate is not compromised by any internal factors.
Mener Kommissionen desuden ikke, at medlemsstaterne bør vedtage strenge samordnede straffeforanstaltninger med hen blik på at bekæmpe svig, og at sådanne foranstaltninger kan være særlig effektive i sektoren for bordvine, hvor incitamentet til at fremstille kvalitetsprodukter er begrænset?
For the Treaty in no sense gives the Commission the option of direct investment in the economy, nor does the budgetary procedure allow it the option or authority for making direct public-sector investments.
Andriessen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (NL) I dette spørgsmål berøres en række punkter, og jeg undskylder, hvis svaret måske er lidt længere, end jeg normalt forsøger at gøre.
Consequently I find your question surprising, because there is no basis for that in the Treaty.
Mine venner derovre har muligvis ikke opfattet det endnu.
Mr Lalor (RDE). recommendations.
Jeg er for det første det ærede medlem taknemmelig for, at han atter fremfører kvalitetsproblemet.
The stepping up of Community research and develop ment policy should also be mentioned in this connection.
Men må jeg med risiko for at foranledige endnu et narkoleptisk svar fra kommissær Narjes bede ham om at se på de tilgrundliggende årsager til de manglende investeringer?
Fourthly and finally, the emphasis must be on mea sures to promote innovation — in particular innovation in the area of small and medium-sized undertak
For kvalitet findes der som bekendt ingen EF-inter-vention, og betingelsemes udforming er i overvejende grad overladt til de nationale medlemsstater. Vi har
Mr Smith (S). — Since the Tories came to office in 1979 in Britain, manufacturing output has fallen by 6.9% and employment in manufacturing has fallen by
dog forsøgt også at gøre noget der, nemlig ved at gen nemføre et maksimalt udbytte på 100 hl pr. ha, men som det ærede medlem utvivlsomt ved, har Rådet ikke fulgt Kommissionen her.
Smith form penalties to combat fraud and that this method would be particularly well suited to the current situation in the wine sector, where there are few commercial incentives to maintain quality standards?
Mit spørgsmål : Vil Kommissionen overveje at bruge den ne metode til at afsløre svindel?
Mr Narjes. — (DE) As the honourable Member's question itself indicates, the present exchange rate of the pound sterling cannot be the reason for the trend in the figures since 1979 which he has described.
På denne mode forsøger vi således gradvis at nå frem til lavere udbytte pr. ha, og det er vist nøjagtig det, som det ærede medlem har for øje.
Mr Andriessen, Vice-President of the Commission. — (NL) This question raises a number of points, and I agologize if I answer at rather greater length than I normally try to do.
Andriessen. — (NL) Til at begynde med vil jeg be mærke, at det bestemt er muligt gradvis at udvide antallet af de prøver, som vi udtager.
Mr Welsh (ED). — Of course, the Commissioner might have said, in answer to the last question, that the United Kingdom has just enjoyed five years' export growth under the Tory government which has not been paralleled in recent history.
Hvis vi går for hårdt til værks, får vi atter problemer.
My friends over there have not perhaps taken that in yet.
Men den ide, som det ærede medlem fremfører, tiltrækker mig og forekommer mig også mulig under forudsætning af, at det sker gradvis.
I will begin by saying that I am grateful to the honour able Member for again raising the question of quality.
Det samme gælder for kontrollen med de oplagringskontrakter, der er indgået. Vi har der alle muligheder, og jeg tror, at vi vil kunne udbygge den.
Clearly, orientation towards quality is an important point at the present time, when many agricultural products are in surplus.
Og så kommer jeg til det inspektionskorps, som hurtigt kan indsættes der, hvor der er nødvendigt.
In general, it can be said — this is not always the case, but very often — that high output per unit per hectare is not accompanied by high quality.
I den forbindelse støder man altid på to problemer.
This is also true of the wine sector.
Det første problem er, at jeg altid må underrette medlemsstaterne, hvis jeg vil foretage en kontrol.
We have therefore been trying to place the emphasis on quality rather than quantity in the wine sector in recent years by pursuing an appropriate policy.
Det kan jeg ikke gøre noget ved, sådan er det nu engang.
We may have over emphasized quantity over a given period.
På konkurrencerettens område har vi flere beføjelser end på landbrugsområdet.
This is cer tainly not true of what we have been trying to do in the last few years.
Måske skulle vi, da vi lavede konkurrencereglerne, også have tænkt på landbruget, men det er ikke sket.
By reducing output, for example, we have been trying to improve quality and produce less medium-grade wine, especially table wine.
Jeg tror, at tanken om via et system med selvkontrol hos producenterne at gøre noget ved det, i sig selv er interessant at overveje.
Could he say why the Commission feels that our investment record is so poor?
Jeg må dog henvise til, at det ikke virkede i Østrig. Men en sådan ide fortjener tydeligvis nærmere over vejelse.
Does he not consider that part of the reason may be that wages in certain Member States have continuously risen ahead of productivity, while in other Member States the social costs of employing labour are so high as to render the firms uncompetitive?
Vi tænker helt specielt på at udvide bedrage riafdelingerne, både nationalt og på EF-plan.
Those of course are pre cisely the policies advocated by the honourable gentle men opposite.
Der støder jeg på et problem, som Parlamentet kender, nemlig at medlemsstaterne stadig er stærkt tilbøjelige til at holde kontrollen for sig og til kun at give EF beføjelser i meget små bidder.
As you know, the Community is unable to intervene where quality is concerned, and requirements in this respect are largely left to the Member States.
Dette hindrer mig ikke i på ny i et forslag, som jeg skal forelægge for Rådet vedrørende de generelle destillationsregler, at forsøge at få flere nødvendige beføjelser til Fællesskabet, når det drejer sig om kontrol.
We have tried to achieve something in this area by proposing that the maximum yield should be 100 hectolitres per hectare but, as the honourable Member undoubtedly knows, the Council of Ministers did not agree with the Commission.
Eyraud (S). — (FR) Jeg vil først geme takke kommissæren for svaret.
President. — Question No 63, by Mr Eyraud (H127/86):
I virkeligheden satte han fingeren på det problem, jeg ville tage fat på, nemlig fællesskabskontrollen.
Subject: Scandal of wine adulterated with methanol anol
Jeg gratulerer ham også med i det foreliggende tilfælde at have udvirket, at Kommissionen selv kan udtage prøver og lade dem analysere i andre medlemsstaters laboratorier.
The scandal of wine adulterated with methanol raises problems for the Community's policy on wine which has so far been more concerned with yield than with quality.
Til slut spørgsmålet om imitationsprodukter.
The situation is different where table wines are con cerned.
Jeg vil utvivlsomt gøre alt, hvad der er muligt for at brage denne franske teknik til yderligere at forbedre be kæmpelsen af bedrageri.
In this way, we are attempting gradually to reduce output per hectare, and that is, I believe, precisely what the honourable Member had in mind.
Mit første spørgsmål : Kan man ikke udvide det, også uden for skandaleperiodeme ?
Let me now say a few words about fraud.
I øvrigt kunne sådanne prøver gøres til genstand for en regelmæssig udveksling, især vinprøver på oplagringskontrakt.
There is rightly serious concern about the cases of fraud that have recently come to light in the wine sector.
Jeg mener, at man let kunne overlade sådanne prøver til analyselaboratorier, der blev dre vet af andre medlemslande, men arbejdede under Kommissionens kontrol.
I feel that the idea of doing something about this situation by introducing a system of control by the producers themselves is interesting and worth considering.
Dette spørgsmål vedrører den bevidste forfalskning af ætylalkohol med metanolalkohol, et stof, der ifølge sin natur er meget giftigt.
But I should point out that it did not work in Austria. This idea obviously needs rather more thought.
Jeg noterede mig med stor interesse kommissær Nar jes' bemærkninger om Fællesskabets beføjelser.
We are thinking very specifically of extend ing the anti-fraud services at both national and Com munity level.
Beføjelserne hos Fællesskabets inspektorat blev også skit-
The problem I am encountering here, and it is one with which Parliament is familar, is that
Vil Kommissionen dernæst overveje etableringen af det korps af fællesskabsinspektører, som jeg minder om er omhandlet i en beslutning fra Parlamentet om vin indeholdende metanol?
Does not the Commission think, moreover, that the Member States should impose severe and uni-
Inden næste forår vil Kommissionen have forelagt sine forslag vedrørende moms og punktafgiftsstrukturerne og clearing-systemet og således stille alle de elementer i lovgivningspakken til rådighed, der er nødvendige for at afskaffe de skattemæssige grænser. ser.
Nonetheless, in a proposal con cerning the general rules on distillation I shall be submitting to the Council, I shall again be trying to obtain more appropriate powers of control for the Com munity.
Men det, vi søger her, er en garanti for, at der ikke sker forfalskninger.
We have more powers in the area of competition law than in agriculture.
Det er det, der egentlig blev spurgt om i spørgsmålet.
I do not, then, have the powers, but the Member States are increasingly coming round to our way of thinking here.
Sir James Scott-Hopkins (ED). - (EN) Jeg er tak nemlig for svaret fra lord Cockfield.
Mr Eyraud (S). — (FR) I should like to begin by thanking the Commissioner for the answer he has given.
Det er alt sam men meget godt at tale om moms og told og punktafgifter, og man bør glæde sig over det, hvis vi kan opnå enighed dér.
He has put his finger on the problem that I wanted to raise, the problem of inspection by the Community.
Men bør det ikke gå længere ind på skatteområdet?
I therefore congratulate him on his success in the present instance in enabling the Commission itself to take samples and have them analysed in laboratories in other Member States.
Der er selskabsskatten, hvor visse selskaber i Europa som bekendt har forskellige be skatningsprocenter, og dette fordrejer deres konkurrencemæssige stilling.
I think this is something which should be open to wider application, because it represents the beginnings of inspection at Community level.
For så vidt tror jeg derfor, at jeg har forsøgt at besvare det spørgsmål, der er stillet.
Now we have them in the wine sector as well. I know that methods of telling these imitation products from the real thing have been developed in France.
Mener han ikke også, at dette bør løses i den nærme ste fremtid?
My first question: could this not be done more widely, even at times when there is no scandal?
Lord Cockfield. — (EN) Jeg er enig i den generelle tankegang i det ærede medlems spørgsmål.
Mr Sherlock (ED). — Dedicated as I am to quality wine, I must point out that this question is really about adulterants, the way I read it in the English version.
Selskabsog virksomhedsbeskatningen er et meget vigtigt spørgsmål, og Kommissionen vil udarbejde en hvidbog om denne sag.
This question directs itself to the deliberate adulteration of ethyl alcohol with methyl alcohol, a substance inherently very poisonous.
Det spørgsmål, der nu stilles, er: Hvorledes kan vi i højere grad informere den europæiske forbruger, der brager et landbrugsprodukt, i dette tilfælde vin, således at han ved, hvad han drikker?
In fact, there could be regular exchanges of these samples, especially samples of wine covered by storage contracts. I think that it would be easy to arrange for these samples to be sent for analysis to laboratories,these laboratories again belonging to other Member States and working under the Commission's supervision. vision.
