Hver eneste gang dollaren som førende valuta stiger, intervenerer centralbankerne og erklærer, at denne gang vil dollaren standse sit stigning og måske endda falde.
We have little doubt that the creation of a real European common market must be based, alongside other policies, on the development of the ECU as a European and as an international monetary instrument.
Men kan vi endnu en gang, som rådsformanden sagde, slå os til tåls med at håbe eller at ønske, at dollaren standser sin himmelflugt eller at ønske, at dollarkursen bliver rimeligere, som det sagdes fra Kommissionens side, uden at beslutte os til at gøre noget?
It must also be based on strengthening the exchange-rate stability and the individual European currencies until such time as the convergence of our economies has reached a point where the ECU can finally be used in the widest possible sense, not just as a financial unit, but also as a medium of exchange across national and international frontiers and eventually as a European currency.
Det må bestemt stå klart for alle medlemsstaternes regeringer, at vi på ingen måde har gjort nok for at drage fordel af det fælles marked, som vi har, og mulighederne for en kreativ dialog mellem medlems staterne med henblik på at udvikle en økonomisk konvergens og en konvergens af levestandarderne og igen at sætte gang i de europæiske økonomier.
I feel that we have now reached a point where what has been achieved so far must be consolidated in a sober and sensible manner, in order to ensure that in the ECU we have a stable means of payment that really lives up to its name.
Under disse omstændigheder må vi forvente, at den amerikanske dollar fortsat vil dominere den internationale finansiering og den internationale økonomi.
For a start, this will require some practical measures. I believe that the United Kingdom should now take its courage in its hands and join the exchange-rate mechanism.
Selv om den japanske yen endnu ikke har udfordret den amerikanske dollar i den internationale finansiering, er der nok eksempler i den ja panske økonomi til, at europæerne kan undersøge den med udbytte.
Secondly, I believe that France and Italy should do away with their exchange controls, which form a con siderable obstacle to the free movement of capital within the European Community.
Ingen i Parlamentet er uvidende om, at det er den rene »kidnapning« af andre folks rigdomme. I løbet af de syv første måneder af 1984 drejede det sig om 140 milliarder dollars.
However, whatever the short comings of the ECU and the EMS in achieving all their objectives in the short term, there can be little doubt that their achievements have already been very considerable and more than sufficient to inspire us to proceed with confidence in pursuit of the ends for which they were created.
For udviklingslandenes vedkommende er der tale om den rene udplyndring, hvis man gør sig klart, at deres gældsforpligtelser udgør 810 milliarder dollars.
Of course we must take additional steps to create convergence in the European common market and in our own national markets as well.
Hr. Ortoli nævnte for lidt siden her i salen hvilke alvor lige konsekvenser, det har for udviklingslandenes til bagebetalinger, når dollaren stiger.
The benefits of monetary discipline have been widely proved with the reduction of inflation and the control of other destabilizing elements, both within most of our national markets and within the common market as a whole.
Kan vi nøjes med at vente og at overvære, hvorledes Europas investeringsmuligheder forringes?
Thirdly, we must urge the Bundesbank to allow private individuals to open ECU accounts, as is the case in the nine other Member States.
Det er spørgsmålet, for når Frankrig og Tyskland også har afskaffet beskatningen af udenlandske investeringer, er der bestemt ikke tale om nogen sejr.
The Bundesbank continues to argue that the ECU is not a real currency and that this is therefore not possible.
For nogle måneder siden foreslog flere fremtrædende personlig heder — og i særdeleshed Papandreou — beskatning af kapitaleksport til USA for at imødegå den for vore økonomier overordentligt farlige situation.
In taking this line it quotes from the contractual law textbooks of, for example, Professor Karl Larenz, for whom I have an extraordinarily high regard.
Forslaget blev dengang forkastet, og her i formiddag har jeg ikke hørt noget om, at det skulle være blevet taget op igen, hverken af Rådet eller af Kommissionen.
The question of whether the ECU is or is not a currency cannot be decided on the basis of legal dogmas.
Mon man ikke burde overveje et middel, der kunne bremse denne kapitaleksport og fremme anvendelsen af de størst mulige finansielle midler til produktive investeringer i Europa og til fordel for det økonomiske genopsving?
It has already been settled by the people who have opened accounts or savings accounts in ECUs, bought ECU travellers' cheques and carry out their commercial transactions in ECUs. This is something that has evolved and that has by now become irreversible.
Jeg personligt og min gruppe me ner, at det er i vort lands interesser at fuldbyrde vor støtte til EMS ved at tilslutte os EMSens valutakursog interventionsmekanisme, og det snarest muligt.
However, the concern of the authors of these oral questions has been mainly directed to the effects on Europe of the strong US dollar, whose strength is possibly overvalued.
Dette er, tror jeg, ikke blot i vore interesser og til vor gavn, men det er af afgørende betydning for styrkelsen af den europæiske valutakursstabilitet over for dollaren og den europæiske økonomis yderligere konvergens.
Of course, whilst high interest rates in the USA and the unprecedented US deficit are bound to give rise to the particular problems which we have suffered in Europe, we should not blind ourselves to the wide differences in the strength of the US econ omy and that of Europe.
Briterne har udsigt til at få lige så stor fordel af en stærk europæisk økonomi som en hvilken som helst anden medlemsstat, og måske større end nogle.
Exchange rates and currency parities, despite any lags in timing, always reflect the confidence in the underlying strength of the economies which these currencies represent.
Ligeledes opfordrer jeg Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland til at indtage en ny holdning over for ECUen, så den kan anvendes i større udstrækning uden de unødvendige yderligere
So this debate, insofar as it relates to Europe, is concerned with the strength of our own economy and the strength of the individual economies which constitute the common market.
For vort vedkommende mener vi ikke, at man bør være bange for at bruge nye midler.
To wind up this debate, my group will be tabling an amendment along these lines urging the Commission
Hvorfor ikke samle alle de spørgsmål, hvorom vi er uenige med De
Surely it must be clear to all Member States' govern ments that we have in no way done enough to take
Den ville have den fortjeneste at kombinere de europæiske aktiviteter inden for den fælles land brugspolitik med det europæiske monetære systems udvikling.
Is this going to be yet another occasion when we settle for merely hoping, as the President-in-Office of the Council said, or for wishing that the dollar would come down to a more reasonable level, as the Commission also said, without making up our minds to take some decisions?
Vort spørgsmål er, hvilke aktioner der bør iværksættes kortfristet for at reagere på en hastesituation?
In these circumstances, we must expect that the US dollar will continue to dominate world finance and the world's economy.
Vi håber, at Kommissionen og Rådet beslutter sig til at gøre sig problemets omfang klart.
We must also expect that the US economy will continue to grow in relation to the Balkanized European economies we at present support.
Hvis vi imidlertid for alvor ønsker at udgøre en anden mulighed for tredjelandene, så er det en uomgængelig nødvendighed, at Fællesskabet udvikler sit monetære instrument, ECUen.
But, let us look as well at Japan. Japan has shown very much greater growth than even the USA since 1960 and by constantly reducing its costs and increasing investment, especially in modern technology, has been able to dominate certain sections of world trade.
Den respekt, der efter hånden er skabt omkring ECUen som følge af dens stabilitet, bør tjene os som holdepunkt, og på dette punkt er jeg enig i en del af det, kommissær Ortoli sagde i formiddags.
Whilst the Japanese yen has not yet challenged the US dollar in world finance, there are enough examples in the Japanese economy for Europeans to study it with benefit.
Efter vor mening både kan og skal det være anderledes.
The experts estimate that the dollar is overvalued by 30%.
Europa repræsenterer kolossale muligheder tak ket være sine landbrugsområder, industrielle traditioner, takket være de opdagelser og den videnskabelige og tekniske revolution, som Europa er i stand til gen nemføre.
Not content with keeping their interest rates artificially high, the American authorities have abolished the tax on foreign investments in bonds, which has helped to accelerate the flood of money onto the American marketplace and to finance the fantastic American budget deficit.
Folkenes Europa har — i et historisk nyt og ikke tidligere set omfang — brug for en virkelig kvalificering af ungdommen, arbejderne og borgerne. Det er efter vor mening sand humanisme.
No-one in this House can be oblivious of what is nothing short of the kidnapping of the wealth of other people, amounting to 140 billion dollars in seven months during 1984.
Men vi må skaffe os midlerne til finansiel selvstændighed. Det indebærer imidlertid, at der omgående træffes beslut ninger.
But the develop ing countries are really being plundered, with debts of 810 billion dollars.
I denne forbindelse mener vi, dersom man ønsker at give ECUen valutastatus, at den bør indrømmes en fortrinsstilling med hensyn til omsættelighed.
Can we really do no more than wait and see, while the prospects for renewed investment in Europe dwindle by the day?
Denne positive virkning må ikke ophæves af indrømmelse af tilsvarende faciliteter for anden valuta, i særdeleshed ikke dollar.
This is the question that we have to face, since although France and the Federal Republic of Germany have also abolished taxation on foreign investments, that certainly cannot be counted as a victory.
Vi bør efter vor opfattelse på ingen måde svække de nationale valutalovgivninger, idet de i øjeblikket sørger for virkelig modstand mod monetær og finansiel uligevægt.
And yet it is some months now since a number of leading figures, including Mr Papandreou, proposed that exports of capital to the United States should be taxed, in order to cope with a situation which presents a very severe threat to our economies.
Af konkurrencehensyn må disse kurssvingninger være så små som muligt. Jo mere stabile valutakurserne er, jo bedre kan vort interne marked fungere, og des hurtigere kan investeringer og beskæftigelse tiltage.
But has it not become necessary to consider some means of discouraging this outflow of capital and encouraging the maximum employment of financial resources for productive investment in Europe and promotion of economic recovery?
Endelig er der det grundlæggende spørgsmål: hvor dan skal man gennemføre denne monetære politik og udvikle ECUen for at fremme investeringerne i Europa?
Finally, I must speak to the question of the United Kingdom's continued failure to join the exchange rate and intervention machinery of the EMS.
Man bør ikke gøre sig nogen illusion.
We have had certain special reasons in the past.
Europa kan kun blive et alternativt monetært område, hvis den økonomiske udvikling sikres, hvis der skabes arbejdspladser og dersom vi anser kontrollen med vor industrielle udvikling som noget betydningsfuldt.
I personally and my group believe that it is in the interests of our country to complete our support of the EMS by joining the exchange rate and intervention machinery of that system, and that as soon as possible.
Det er prisen, og det er kun ved at betale den, at man kan få sat en stopper for det fata morgana, der i øjeblik ket går ud på at investere rub og stub i De forenede Stater.
This, I believe, is not only in our own interests and to our own benefit, but it is essential to the strengthening of the European exchange rate stability against the dollar and the further convergence of the European economy.
Vi kræver, at Fællesskabets disponible finansielle midler bruges til finansiering af produktiv beskæftigelse, produktudvikling og industrielt samarbejde inden for Fællesskabet. bet.
This is not to call for the creation of an inflexible European financial system which does not reflect the changes in the strengths and weaknesses of our individual economies, but it will, I believe, strengthen our position against the dominance of the US dollar and the growing strength of Japan in international trade.
Vor metode går ud på at kombinere den økonomiske udvikling med en forbedring af de monetære instrumenter, hvilket foranlediger os til at foreslå nye an vendelsesmuligheder for ECUen.
Likewise, I call on West Germany to take a new attitude to the ECU so that it may be more widely employed without the unnecessary additional restrictions and costs which the attitude of the German Government and Bundesbank at present impose on it.
At EMSen fungerer rigtigt, er derfor af vital betyd ning for Fællesskabet.
We for our part consider that there should be no reluctance to use new methods.
Udsvingene i EMS-valutaerne har været betydelig ringere end f.eks. udsvingene in den for dollar og yen.
Why not put all the issues on which we are at odds with the United States together and negotiate a package?
Procedurerne, der kræver ind byrdes overensstemmelse eller tilpasning af valuta kurser, har forhindret det kapløb med devalueringer, som vi så tidligere.
There are certainly many matters which need to be discussed: steel, agriculture, electronics, data processing.
I modsætning til slange-arrange-mentet deltager den franske franc nu i systemet.
Our question is therefore this: what actions need to be taken in the short term to deal with the present emergency?
EMSen har således ubestridelig haft en disciplinerende indflydelse på medlemsstaternes finansielle og økonomiske politik.
We hope that the Commission and the Council will make up their minds to take the measure of the problem.
EMSens stabilitet hænger jo sammen med forholdet mellem DM og dollar. Erfaringen viser, at disse undertiden forholder sig som forbundne kar : en svag dollar fører til en flugt i DM og omvendt.
Mrs De March (COM). — (FR) Madam President, the scenario that is being played out for us in the United States could become tiresome if it were not so tragic for Europe, as for the rest of the world.
Vil Kommissionen — det er et spørgsmål — være i stand til at finde ud af fordelene og ulemperne ved at benytte ECUen til alle interne landbrugstransaktioner? Hvilke betingelser og konsekvenser vil det med føre, dersom denne foranstaltning skulle vise sig for
Meanwhile, if we are to be really in a position to present an alternative solution in the Community, for its dealings with countries in the rest of the world, it is essential that we promote our monetary instrument, the ECU.
For det første bør alle medlemsstater deltage i systemet.
That is the true human ist approach as we understand it.
Storbritannien tager ganske vist nu del i kreditmekanismen, men ikke i valutakursarrangementet.
However, if we are to pursue this course, we must acquire the means of maintaining financial autonomy.
Det er på tide, at England opgiver denne form for monetær provinsialisme.
To this end, as we can see, immediate decisions are necessary.
Hvis man siger, at man ønsker et internt marked, sådan som London gør det, kan man ikke forbigå EMSen med et træk på skulderen.
There must therefore be a clear political will.
London kan ikke sidde på første række uden at betale.
This is the point of the questions put to the Commission by the Communist Members.
Endelig, fru formand, vil jeg ved denne lejlighed ger ne endnu en gang tilskynde Kommissionen til snarest at fremme den private ECU yderligere. Agter Kom missionen at forelægge Rådet et direktiv vedrørende emission af mønter og eller pengesedler i ECU?
In this connection, if it is considered desirable to give currency status to the ECU, we consider that it could be attributed privileged status in regard to convertibility.
Hvad er det minimale oplag, der er nødvendigt, for at dette betalingsmiddel ikke havner hos samlere og således forsvinder?
This positive effect must not be cancelled out by granting the same facilities to non-Community currencies, notably the dollar.
Hvorledes påtænker Kommissionen at fremme udsendelsen af frimærker med en værdi trykt i ECU, således at turister overalt i Europa kan sende breve og postkort, uden at de først behøver at købe nationale frimærker? Betaler Kommissionen allerede sine kommercielle og administrative transaktioner med tredjemand i ECU?
There is no case whatsoever, in our view, for weakening national laws on exchange controls, which are currently providing a real bulwark against monetary and financial imbalances.
For det andet bør der være en central instans, hvor banker kan afregne indbyrdes fordringer og forpligtelser i ECU.
Mr De Vries (L). — (NL) Madam President, a dollar is a dollar, a yen is a yen, but a German mark is not a lira.
Kan Kommissionen meddele, hvor langt man er nået i drøftelserne med bankvæsenet om dette clearing house?
While the United States and Japan each have a free market and one currency, the European market is still fragmented and our currencies still change in value one against the other.
For det tredje vil jeg gerne fremføre følgende: ved afregning af køb og salg mellem centralbankerne skal kreditor kun acceptere op til 50% af fordringen i ECU af debitor.
For reasons of competition, these fluctuations in exchange rates must be min imized.
Hvornår mener Kommissionen, at denne begrænsning i brugen af ECU kan ophæves?
The more stable exchange rates are, the better our internal market can function and the sooner investment and employment can increase.
Dem har vi. Lad os gøre brug af dem.
Let us be absolutely clear about this.
Roux (RDE). — (FR) Hvis man betragter de vigtigste økonomiske indikatorer, må man nødvendigvis er kende, at Europa befinder sig i en krisesituation og har svært ved at komme i gang igen.
Europe will not become an alternative monetary area unless its economic development is assured, unless jobs are created, unless we give top priority to our industrial develop ment.
I 1982 så det ud til, at Fællesskabet med en vækst på 2,7% var på vej ud af krisen, men i 1985 kommer man igen ned på omkring 2 %.
Only if we succeed in these things will today's mirage, the blind belief in investment in the United States, be consigned to oblivion.
Frankrig har — med undtagelse af Luxembourg — opvist den laveste vækstprocent i Fælles skabet.
We have a number of proposals to make in this connection.
På tre punkter har Frankrig befundet sig i den modsatte situation af de øvrige.
We are calling for the financial resources available in the Community to be used to finance productive employment, the development of new products and industrial cooperation in the Community.
Således bør ECUen i alle medlemsstater have status som fuldgyldig fremmed valuta. Nu opfatter Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland stadig handel med ECU som indeksregulerede transaktioner i mark, hvilket lovmæssigt er forbudt.
Our approach consists in linking economic develop ment with improvement of our monetary instruments, so that we are suggesting new ways in which the ECU could be used.
Derfor kan tyskere ikke gennemføre ECU-transaktioner med hinanden, selv om de kan købe udenlandske ECU-obligationer.
The satisfactory operation of the EMS is therefore vital to the Community.
Hvad inflationen angår, så er det det område, hvor Fællesskabet har klaret sig bedst.
Unlike the 'snake' arrangement, the system still includes the French franc.
Inflationsraterne er i det store og hele sammenlignelige med raterne fra før 1973 og tåler sammenligning med inflationen i USA.
The EMS has thus undeniably had a restraining effect on the Member States' financial and economic policies.
Med hensyn til ledigheden har Europa lidt et nederlag.
And yet there is still not enough economic convergence.
Ved udgangen af juli 1984 var 10,6% af Fælles skabets aktive befolkning eller 12 305 000 personer arbejdsløse, og alle beregninger tyder på, at procent satsen kommer op på over 11 i 1985.
The stability of the EMS does, after all, partly depend on the relationship between the DM and the dollar, which some times act, as we have seen in the past, like two barrels linked by a pipe: a weak dollar results in flight into the DM and vice versa.
Samtidig konstateres den modsatte udvikling i USA, hvor arbejdsløsheden er nedbragt fra 10 til 7%.
The greater the convergence, the stronger the stabilizing force of the EMS and the less likelihood there is of the DM exceeding the intervention limits.
For Japans ved kommende har den aldrig været over 2,7%.
This is the Achilles heel of the system.
Og ende lig klarer Europa sig dårligt i konkurrencen udadtil med De forenede Stater og Japan.
Could the Commission look into the advantages and disadvantages of using the ECU for all intra-Com-munity agricultural transactions?
I 1984 og 1985 bliver der stort overskud på Fællesskabets almindelige betalingsbalance, men denne situation tilslører store forskelle fra land til land.
If it were to prove advantageous, under what conditions could it be done and what would be the effects?
Overskuddene i 1983 og 1984 skyldes Tyskland, Storbritannien og Nederlan-
It would offer the benefit of linking European activities covered by the CAP to developments of the EMS.
Endnu et par bemærkninger om den »private« ECU.
How can the operation of the EMS be improved?
I forhold til nationale valutaer rummer ECUen man ge fordele.
Firstly, all the Member States should join the system.
Den, der i et land med en svag valuta investerer i ECU, beskytter sig mod kurstab.
At the moment, the United Kingdom participates in the credit mechanism but not in the exchange rate arrangement.
Den, der bor i et land med en stærk valuta, og som investerer i ECU, sikrer sig en højere rente.
It is time Britain abandoned this monetary parochialism.
For europæiske han delspartnere, der i hinandens valutaer befrygter kursrisici, er ECUen ligeledes attraktiv.
Those who say they want an inter nal market, as London does, cannot pass the EMS by with a shrug of the shoulders.
Små og mellem store virksomheder kan via ECU begrænse de kursrisici, som de løber ved investeringer, import og eksport.
London must pay more than a penny if it wants to sit in the front row.
Også forbrugeren har interesse i ECUen.
We believe that it can and must be other wise.
Næste år vil fire franske banker udstede rejsecheck i ECU, hvorved forbrugeren løber en ringere kursrisiko end ved dollarchecks.
Europe offers formidable potential, with her agricultural resources, her industrial tradition, her
Da Ludvig den Fromme i det trettende århundrede satte sin gyldne »ECU« i omløb, havde han ikke drømt om en så enorm succes.
Secondly, there should be a central institution in which banks can settle their accounts receivable and payable in ECU.
Det private ECU-marked omfatter nu ca. 10 mia ECU og vokser spektakulært.
Can the Commission tell us what progress has been made in the consultations it has had with the banks on this clearing-house?
En koordinering af det europæiske område og dollarområdet burde imidlertid tillade os at skimte en aftale med henblik på at gøre en ende på rente- og kurskrigen.
Thirdly, when buying and selling between the central banks, the creditor may accept no more than 50 % in ECU from the debtor.
Hvad handelsbalancen angår, er der indtrådt en bedring i EFs situation, ikke mindst i forhold til USA.
We shall undoubtedly be discussing the operation of the EMS at greater length later this year when proposals for reforms are submitted to us.
