De europæiske læsere må, hvad enten de nu hører hjemme i den politiske verden eller i erhvervslivet, gøre sig klart at de må gøre mere for at ændre den tilsyneladende uundgåelige tendens til et stadig voksende handelsunderskud over for Japan, og navnlig for at afhjælpe utilstrækkeligheden og uligevægten i vores forbindelser med dette land.
The Com mission is already working on this aspect, and it may become even more important in the future if Japan, despite the increased value of the yen, does not reduce its exports, and it is not doing so at the moment.
Vi ville i så fald hurtigt komme til den konklusion, at japanerne under sådanne forhold be stemt ikke ville være nødt til at kæmpe med problemer on handelsoverskud!
Why can't we produce cars, video recorders, small computers and so on just as cheaply and well in Europe as the Japanese exporters?
Det bringer mig til det afgørende punkt, hvor vi efter min opfattelse er nødt til at føje noget til Moorhousebetænkningen, som vi også har stillet en række ændringsforslag til.
If Japan makes it so difficult for us to achieve a trade balance by exporting to the Japanese market, then we must simply make access to the European market more difficult for the Japanese, by fair means.
Her i Europa må vi, bortset fra anklager, i første linje blive enige om, at vi har brug for et frit indre marked og en ensartet valuta, at vi inden for forskning og udvikling ikke alene kan have parallelle udviklinger, og at vi er nødt til at indstille os på japansk sprog og mentalitet og på de japanske forhold.
Only then can we achieve a balance in trade again. Japan is currently preparing a new export offensive directed at Europe and America in the field of data technology in the private, social and medical field.
Kommissionen glæder sig over Parlamentets støtte til dens aktiviteter med henblik på en bedre balance i de økonomiske og handelsmæssige forbindelser mellem Fællesskabet og Japan.
We also endorse the tariff strategy that the Commission applied to video recorders and compact disc equipment, although here again we want clearly res trictive conditions attached to this strategy, as our amendment shows.
Det er faktisk et højt prioriteret mål i vores handelspolitik.
But, Madam President, there is, of course, another side to the story.
Vores handelsunderskud over for Japan er et af symptomerne herpå.
We have not yet succeeded in establishing an internal market, which weakens industry's competitive position.
En fortsættelse af denne ud vikling vil indebære alvorlige problemer for det inter nationale monetære og handelsmæssige systems funktion.
A European technology policy is being developed too slowly, and it is too limited, as the draft 1987 budget again shows.
Alle disse elementer er med i Rådets konklusioner fra den 19. marts i år og blev gentaget af Rådet den 21. juli.
Let us not wait until shipload after shipload of these products has reached the European ports.
Kommissionen vil fortsætte sine aktiviteter på disse forskellige områder, såvel på bilateralt plan som i forbindelse med multilaterale aftaler.
Let us embark now on forward-looking structural adjust ments in Europe, so that Japanese exporters encounter hard but fair competition in Europe and cannot, as in the past, sell their products effortlessly.
Hvis vi gør det — og det har talrige europæiske firmaer jo gjort — står det japanske marked også åbent for os.
Mr Normanton (ED). — Madam President, in the two minutes you have allocated to me I wish to make three quick points very firmly.
Der findes en lang række europæiske firmaer, der har haft stor succes og stærk vækst i Japan.
Firstly, the Japanese success in the world — and it is a phenomenal success — is the success of a nation.
Men selvfølgelig gør de også noget for det!
It is not just the success of a part of that community such as industry.
De indstiller sig på Japan.
Mr Van Rooy (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, in the first five months of this year Japanese exports to Europe rose by 30% in volume terms.
Derfor mit krav til europæerne : vi må gøre mere.
We should not expect this increase to stop in the near future.
Det er ikke tilstrækkeligt, at vi blot beskytter os mod japanerne.
On the contrary, the high value of the yen against the dollar and American political pressure are leading to a shift in Japanese exports from the United States to Europe.
Ikke blot i Europa, ikke blot i den tredje verden, men også i Japan selv er vi nødt til offensivt at imødegå japanerne med handelspolitisk loyale metoder, hvis vi vil have succes.
Japan is clearly so obsessed with the problem of trade with the United States that it is in danger of forgetting its problems with Europe.
Vi har her brug for en opbrudsstemning.
But in practice it is quite another story, as Mr Moorhouse makes clear in his report.
Når vi har et fælles indre marked for 320 millioner mennesker,
Despite seven programmes designed to open up the market, European presence in the Japanese market has
Kommissionen er desuden overbevist om, at Fælles skabet i sine handelsforbindelser med Japan må gøre af alle sine GATT-rettigheder, uanset om dette sker i forbindelse med den nye runde af handelsdrøftelser eller på grundlag af artikler i den generelle aftale.
GATT was designed by the West to deal with a situation which prevailed many years ago when trade was dominated by so-called free economies.
Vi har to gange påberåbt os bestemmelserne i artikel 28 for at hæve afgiften i den fælles toldtarif på videobåndoptagere og apparater til optisk læsning.
Today the world is dominated by two types of countries — those which have socialist State-controlled economies, and they are totally incompetent and inefficient to compete in the world, and the Japanese. The President-in-Off-
Vi er klar over, at det er en af de vigtigste forudsætninger for, at vi kan komme ind på det japanske marked.
We must take offensive act ion, based on fair trading practices, against the Japanese, not only in Europe, not only in the Third World, but also in Japan itself in order to get some results.
I august indledte vi forhandlinger med Japan på basis af artikel 22 om alkoholholdige drikkevarer, og i slut ningen af november skal vi fortsætte dem i Tokio.
ice yesterday referred to the need — and the Parliament supported it — to negotiate amendments to the GATT.
Vi har sagt klart til de japanske myndigheder, at denne sag for os er en case test for de japanske myndigheders gode vilje til at åbne deres markeder.
It needs complete revamping since this is the only means by which the Japanese Syndrome can be handled.
Vi er rede til at anvende det såkaldte nye handelsinstrument til at reagere på en hver forbudt praksis fra Japans side.
The Moorhouse report goes a long way and will command considerable support in the House.
Ligeledes vil jeg gerne understrege, at vore drøftelser med japanerne om bestemte varer selvfølgelig ikke er i modstrid med det pres, vi til stadighed udøver med henblik på en generel åbning af det japanske mar ked.
I hope and pray following upon this debate that the Community as a whole will gird its loins and demand a complete restructuring of the GATT.
(FR) Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, Kommissionen er fremdeles af den opfattelse, at skabelse af ligevægt i Fællesskabets samhandel med Japan ikke bør ske ved begrænsning af Fællesskabets import fra Japan, men ved forøgelse af vor eksport til Japan.
Mr De Clercq, Member of the Commission. — (NL) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to begin by thanking Mr Moorhouse very much for his excellent report and for his extremely kind words about my services, my immediate staff and myself.
Lad os sige, at de sektorielle drøftelser udgør en praktisk løsning på områder, hvor vi er særlig konkurrencedygtige, og jeg tænker igenn på whisky- og spiritus sagen.
Mr Franz (PPE). — (DE) Madam President, Mr Moorhouse is of course right to describe the Japanese record of success in recent years as impressive.
Hvad angår de punktvise vanskeligheder, der kan for ventes at dukke op o^ skabe alvorlige probler for europæisk industri, overvåger Kommissionen nøje udviklingen, og det vil den fortsætte med, ligesom den ikke vil tøve med at gribe ind for at beskytte de europæiske producenters vigtigste interesser.
And of course it is also true that the Japanese are not angels either and we must take strong action to counter their protectionist measures and to prevent the dreadful plague of protectionism, which is spreading faster than AIDS, from claiming any more victims.
Vi har indledt høringer i så henseende, og vi vil med det nærmeste foreslå nye sektorer, inden for hvilke denne sektorielle metode, hvis jeg må kalde den således, ser ud til at være både påkrævet og realistisk.
We must make it clear to our Japanese friends again and again that they are destroying world trade by applying such measures. sures.
Kommissionen deler Parlamentets opfattelse med hensyn til betydningen af at holde øje med kvaliteten af japanske investeringer inden for Fællesskabet.
After a thorough and lucid analysis of relations between the Community and Japan, the report con centrates on finding a solution to the disturbance of the balance in these relations.
De japanske investeringer bør anspores til i højere grad at orientere sig efter fremstillingsindustri med stor værditilvækst og stort lokalt indhold.
After reading this text, our Japanese opposite numbers will probably have a better idea of European attitudes towards Japan and a better understanding of the need for structural reforms in their country.
Endvidere bør man komme frem til en bedre koordinering af med lemsstaternes politik på dette område for at undgå, at de overbyder hinanden for at tiltrække investerin gerne.
European readers, whether they come from the world of politics or from industry, will real ize that they must do more to reverse the seemingly inevitable trend towards a growing deficit in trade with Japan and more specifically to remedy the inadequacy and lack of balance in our relations with this country.
Kommissionen følger alirede inden for muligheder nes grænse den industrielle udvikling i Japan, men man bør gøre sig klart, at en styrkelse af vor indsats på dette felt kræver, at der stilles nye midler til disposition, og at det er vor troværdighed, der står på spil.
Just imagine — what if the Japanese had split them selves up into twelve regions with borders which it cost more than one hundred thousand million ECU a year to deal with; they would have twelve currencies, which it would cost more than five thousand million ECU a year to convert just at the twelve borders within Japan; they would work 20 to 25% less, they would give up learning European languages and regard it as quite extraordinary for anyone to learn English or French or another language; they would tend not to adapt to European rules, standards and attitudes.
Kommissionen har indledt drøftelser i så henseende med medlemsstaterne, der som bekendt fører for skellig politik.
That brings me to the main point where I think we need to supplement Mr Moorhouse's report and on which we have tabled a number of amendments.
Selv om forhøjelse af importtolden ikke er udelukket i visse situationer — og den mulighed har vi da også benyttet os af — så er jeg dog ikke overbevist om, mine damer og herrer, at det altid er den mest velegnede løsning på Fællesskabets erhvervslivs vanskelig heder over for den japanske konkurrence.
The Commission welcomes Parliament's support for the action it is taking to achieve a better balance in the Community's economic and commercial relations with Japan.
Jeg mener tværtimod, at hvert enkelt tilfælde bør behandles ef ter fortjeneste.
This is indeed a priority objective of our com mercial policy.
Kommissionen værdsætter ganske særligt Parlamentets anerkendelse af den indsats, der udfoldes for at gennemføre programmet til fremme af fællesskabseksporten til Japan.
The growing surpluses in the Japanese balance of payments can be put down to Japan's inadequate integration into the world economy.
Dette programs effektivitet aner kendes glædeligvis enstemmigt af Fællesskabets er hvervsliv.
Our deficit in trade with Japan is one of the symptoms of this.
Vi prøver på at udvide denne aktivitet på 1987-budgettet, men det skal indrømmes, at forhand lingerne med Rådets budgeteksperter ikke er alt for opmuntrende, idet vi i øjeblikket står over for en stagnation — for ikke at sige en nedskæring — med hensyn til vort budget til eksportfremmende foran staltninger, og det netop på et tidspunkt hvor vort arbejde begynder at bære frugt.
The continuation of this trend is making it very difficult for the international monetary and commercial system to function. The Commission therefore supports your resolution, which says that Japan must reduce its trade surpluses, open its market to the import of finished products and processed agricultural products, define an import objective expressed in figures and pursue a foreign exchange policy geared to achieving a better balance in foreign accounts.
Som understreget i betænkningen giver de eksistrende handelspolitiske redskaber allerede vort erhvervsliv mulighed for at gribe effektivt ind i tilfælde af illoyal eller overdreven udenlandsk konkurrence.
It must also make the necessary changes to the structure of its economy so that growth becomes less dependent on exports, and it must liberalize its banks and financial markets.
Hertil kommer, at en tarifforhøjelse i henhold til GATT kræver forhandling med de vigtigste leverandører og rimelig kompensation til sidstnævnte.
Ail these aspects are covered by the conclusions drawn by the Council on 19 March and re affirmed by the Council on 21 July.
Hvad det japanske distributionssystem angår, kan jeg berolige Dem med, at Kommissionen heller ikke på
The Commission will continue its activities in these various areas, both at bilateral level and at multilateral meetings.
De Clerq indtager nu betydningsfulde stillinger i dynamiske europæiske virksomheder, der arbejder i Japan.
The quality of candidates, both male and female, for our executive training programme in Japan is improving all the time, and several past trainees are now doing important work for dynamic European enter prises in Japan.
Europæisk skotøjsindustri, der udnytter den nylige åbning af det japanske marked, har netop — for en stor del takket være Deres støtte — gennemført en aktion i Tokio, hvor den præsenterede vore produk ter og afsluttede nye forretninger.
To take advantage of a recent opening-up of the Japanese market, the European footwear industry, with your invaluable support, has just organized a mission to Tokyo during which it was able to show what we can produce and win some new business.
Også andre brancher har sat sig i forbindelse med os med henblik på lignende aktioner.
Other industries have been in touch with us with a view to similar operations.
Betænkningen omtaler andre muligheder, som vi dog ikke har mulighed for at gen nemføre i øjeblikket på grund af mangel på bevillinger. ger.
The report refers to yet other possible initiatives, but these we cannot undertake for the time being, for lack of resources.
Jeg vil gerne henlede Deres opmærksom hed på artikel 65, stk. 1, som siger, at vi bliver nødt til at stemme om et sådant forslag.
I would like to draw your attention to Rule 65(1) which says that we have to have a vote on such a proposal.
Det er ikke sket endnu.
This has not taken place as yet.
For det andet siger artikel 80 om stemmeforklaringer ikke, at det ikke gælder for debatter om aktuelle og uopsættelige spørgsmål, og jeg vil spørge Dem, fru formand, om vi kan fremsætte vore stemmeforklaringer skriftligt.
Secondly, Rule 80 on explanations of vote does not say that it does not apply to topical and urgent debate, and I would ask you, Madam President, whether we can put our explanations of vote in writing.
Endelig vil jeg henvise til forklaringen til artikel 48, stk. 5, som siger, at et beslutningsforslag »uden forhandling« ikke kan optages på listen over emner, der skal sættes på dagsordenen for debatten over aktuelle og uopsættelige spørgsmål, men medlemmerne kan undlade at gøre brug af deres ret til at tage ordet.
Finally I refer to Rule 48(5), which says that a motion for a resolution cannot be included as an item without debate on the list of sub jects for topical and urgent debate but Members can waive their right to speak.
Jeg vil derfor bede om Deres vejledning vedrørende de punkter, jeg har nævnt, især det sidste.
I would therefore like your guidance on the points I have raised, particularly the last one.
Tilsyneladende går for mandens forslag imod forklaringen i artikel 48, stk. 5.
It would appear that the President's proposals go against that explanatory comment after Rule 48(5).
Vi har altså fortsat, mine damer og herrer, brug for Europa-Parlamentets støtte, så vi sammen kan få den tilsyneladende ubønhørlige forværring af uligevægten i samhandelen med Japan til at gå den anden vej.
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we therefore need the continuing support of your Assembly so that together we can manage to reverse the apparently inexorable worsening of the imbalance in our trade with Japan.
Her som andre steder bør vi være overbevist om, at ingen problemer er uløselige, hvis der foreligger fælles vilje til at tage dem op.
In this area as in others, we must be firm in our conviction that there are no insoluble problems as long as there is a shared will to tackle them.
Formanden. — Jeg har med stor interesse lyttet til hr. Fords indlæg.
President. — I have listened with great interest to what Mr Ford has had to say.
Det er rigtigt, at jeg ikke kan bruge forretningsordenen til at træffe en afgørelse i denne sag.
The fact is that I cannot invoke our Rules of Procedure in giving a ruling on this matter.
Jeg tror, at jeg udtrykker formandens og gruppe formændenes ønsker, når jeg fremsætter dette forslag for Parlamentet.
However, I feel that I am reflecting the wishes of the President and of the political group chairmen when I put this proposal to the House.
Der er ganske rigtigt tale om en uopsættelig forhandling.
This is, of course, an urgent debate.
Jeg ser derfor ingen anden løsning end at høre Parlamentet, idet De dog bør holde Dem for øje, at de pågældende punkter omfatter 43 forslag, heraf alene 14 om naturkatastrofer.
I see nothing for it therefore but to ask the House for its opinion, bearing in mind that on the various items to be considered there are 43 motions for resolutions, 14 on the natural disasters alone.
Hvis vi under disse omstændigheder indleder en forhand ling, er det klart, at vi ikke kan behandle alle forslagene, og at det kun bliver meget få, der kan tage ordet.
This being the case, if we throw them open for debate, it is obvious that we shall not succeed in dealing with all the motions and that we shall have an enormous number of speakers.
Provan (ED). — (EN) Til forretningsordenen, fru for mand.
Mr Provan (ED). — On a point of order, Madam President.
Jeg havde en mundtlig forespørgsel, som skulle foretages sammen med denne forhandling, og jeg har ikke fået egentligt svar på noget af det, jeg rejste.
I had an oral question which was to be taken with this debate and I have not had a particular answer on some matters raised.
Jeg håber, at kommissæren vil være i stand til at give mig et svar, måske privat, bagefter.
I hope the Commissioner will be able to give me an answer, perhaps privately, afterwards.
Men jeg vil gerne forsikre ham, at der ikke hersker nogen som helst tvivl — og han bad om industriens støtte — om at den skotske whiskyindustri er fuldt og helt indstillet på at prøve at få det japanske marked åbnet.
But could I assure him that there is absolutely no doubt — and he did call for the industry to support him — that the Scotch whisky industry is totally committed to trying to open up the Japanese market.
Hvis han har brug for nogen som helst hjælp, så kan han føle sig helt sikker på, at han vil få enhver form for hjælp til at åbne det marked.
If he requires any assistance at all, he has a complete assurance that he will be given every assist ance to open up that market.
Formanden. — Jeg er sikker på, at kommissæren vil tage imod hr. Provans tilbud og vil holde sig i kontakt med ham.
President. — I am sure the Commissioner will take up the invitation from Mr Provan and will be in touch with him.
Jeg spørger Dem derfor, om De accepterer det af gruppeformændene og formanden fremsatte forslag om afstemning uden forhandling om de fjorten for slag til beslutning om naturkatastrofer, der har ramt landbruggsektoren ?
I am asking the House therefore whether it is prepared to agree to the proposal from the chairmen of the political groups and the President of Parliament that the 14 motions for resolutions on the natural disasters in the agricultural sector should be put to the vote with out debate.
(Mødet udsat kl. 13.05 og genoptaget kl. 15.00)
(Parliament agreed to this proposal)
(Forslaget vedtoges)
(The sitting was suspended at 1.05 p.m. and resumed at 3 p.m.)
Le Pen (DR). — (FR) Fru formand, kære kolleger, jeg har bedt om ordet for en personlig bemærkning.
Mr Le Pen (DR). — (FR) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I have asked leave to make a personal statement.
En pjece af overordentlig fornærmeligt indhold er omdelt i Parlamentet af den socialistiske gruppes Propagandastaffel.
A scurrilously defamatory document has been distributed in this House by the 'Propagandasta.fi fiel' of the Socialist Group in this Parliament.
Pjecen, der indeholder stærkt retoucherede fotografier, prøver på at skabe en parallel mellem Front national og det nationalsocialistiske parti.
This document, displaying crudely doctored photographs, attempts to draw a parallel between the Front national and the National Socialist Party.

Mr Ford (S). — Madam President, on a point of order.
Ford (S). — (EN) Fru formand, til forretningsordenen.
(Applause from the left)
Le Peu komme til krig mellem Europas folk.
What are you applauding? It's anyone's guess.
Som De ser, hr. Le Pen, faldt min far også for Frankrig.
So you see, Mr Le Pen, my father also died for France.
(Langvarigt bifald) mer i forbindelse med deres lands ansvar.
And it is not for me to lay the ghosts that trouble some Germans about the responsibility that their country bears.
Min far faldt for Frankrig, og selv om jeg er atten måneder yngre end hr. Arndt, har jeg kæmpet mod nazismen, hvilket er mere, end han har gjort.
My father died for France, and although I am eighteen months younger than Mr Arndt, I fought against Nazism, whereas he did not.

(Applause from the benches ofthe Group ofthe European Right— Protests from the left)
Formanden. — Kære kolleger, jeg vil foreslå, at vi fortsætter drøftelsen af dagsordenen (').
President. — Ladies and gentlemen, I would suggest that we press on with our agenda1.
Hr. Taylor havde bedt om ordet.
Mr Taylor had asked for the floor.
Jeg tror, at det var om det foregående punkt; jeg giver Dem alligevel ordet til forretningsordenen.
I think that it was probably to speak on the previous matter. However, I shall call you to speak on a point of order.
Under disse omstændigheder finder jeg det skandaløst såvel med hensyn til det formelle som det egentlige i sagen, at en sådan pjece har kunnet omdeles i Parlamentet.
In the circumstances, I find it absolutely intolerable for both formal and substantive reasons that such a publication should be distributed here.
Hvad det formelle angår, fordi der er tale om en politisk gruppe, der prøver på at kaste smuds på en anden, der er demokratisk indvalgt i forsamlingen.
On formal grounds, because this is a case of a parliamentary group attempting to cast a slur on other democratically elected Members of this House, putting them beyond the pale.
Hvad det egentlige angår, burde de elendige resultater, der blev opnået af underudvalget om den voksende fascisme og racisme i Europa, have ansporet til en smule mådehold. Nu prøver man der imod på at udnytte dette arbejde til et andet formål end angivet.
As for the substantive grounds, the pitiful results achieved by your Committee of Inquiry on Fascism and Racism should have induced some modesty in you, but instead you are trying to use that proce dure for a purpose for which it was not intended.
