Efter min opfattelse er der blevet stillet et fuldstændig legitimt spørgsmål, og det er også fuld stændig legitimt, at Kommissionen beskæftiger sig med dette spørgsmål.
First of all I think there is bound to be a need for sustained action to encourage job creation, to increase re-employment possibilities and to allow for losses in new jobs when the new technologies come in.
Som en slutbemærkning, kan jeg kun sige til det ærede medlem, at hvis han virkelig er i stand til at granske et irsk medlems sind, når hun stiller et spørgsmål, så er han skrappere end jeg!
Secondly, I think that there has to be action on appropriate forms of information and consultation of workers by employers on when the new technologies are going to be introduced and how they are going to be introduced.
Narjes. — (DE) Hr. Combes tillægsspørgsmål har ikke noget at gøre med hans oprindelige spørgsmål.
Thirdly, I think it is bound to have an effect on education and training policies.
Med hensyn til det oprindelige spørgsmål vil jeg dog gerne tilføje følgende: Naturligvis ved vi, at der findes hindringer for eksport og import i begge retninger, og at de tekniske handelshindringer er en velkommen lejlighed til at opbygge endnu højere skranker, end forholdene egentlig kræver.
I think it particularly needs a reappraisal of policy at all levels to ensure that all existing and future members of the work force acquire a basic under standing of the new technologies and that opportunities for initial and continuing training are expanded and indeed constantly updated to take account of future labour market needs.
— spørgsmål nr. 3 af Combe (H-834/80):
What I cannot give the honourable Member today is so to speak a blueprint for action.
Mener Kommissionen ikke, at der er tale om et åbenlyst brud på de internationale handelsbestemmelser eller i det mindste en ensidig protektionistisk foranstaltning, i betragtning af at de europæiske automobilfabrikanter møder enorme vanskeligheder på grund af en stadig ændring af godkendelsesbestemmelserne i Japan, når de fremstiller deres motorkøretøjer til syn hos de japanske myndigheder?
Mr Tuckman. — In thanking the Commissioner for his very calm and rational answer, I would like to ask whether he does not agree that the attitude which lies behind the question, which in Britain in the last century we used to call 'Luddism' is in fact highly destructive to future employment in the long term, especially as we are unable to control the use to which these machines and methods will be put by our competitors and that, therefore, the damage to employment would in fact be very much greater if we were not willing to use these machines?
For Japan er forholdet jo det specielle, at støj- og bremsetests nu kan gennemføres tilfredsstillende i europæiske fabrikker, men at der endnu findes væsentlige forskelle i målingen af udstødningsgas.
With regard to the policy implications of this situation, the Commission has taken note of the discussions which have been held at Community level last year, in particular at the Standing Employment Committee in February, at the Manchester Conference on equality for women in May, at the meeting of the Council of Ministers of Education in June and at the hearing by the Youth Forum on the employment of young women in December.
Det er også utilfredsstillende, at vi kun kan sigte mod den af mig omtalte kontrol type notification, og at der endnu ikke har kunnet gennemføres nogen type designation for masseeksport til Japan. Alt dette hører med i diskussionen.
To summarize the main conclusions to be drawn from these discussions, which are particularly applicable in the case of secretarial employment, the Commission emphasizes that new technologies should be accepted with an open mind by society, but that they should be made to serve rather than to dominate.
Narjes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Der findes to fremgangsmåder i forbindelse med syn af motorkøretøjer hos de japanske myndigheder: den såkaldte type notification, som vedrører godkendelse af det enkelte motorkøretøj, og type designation, som vedrører godkendelse af modeller.
Also I should like to emphasize that in the Commission's view the effects on the volume of employment are bound to depend to a crucial extent on the rate and on the social conditions with which the new technologies are introduced.
Det er meget svært at bestemme kvantitativt, i hvilket omfang de japanske importbegrænsninger indvirker på afsætningen af europæiske biler i Japan.
Mr Richard. — I am bound to say that I think that is a somewhat extreme and rather unfair view of the ques tion.
Det kan måske interessere det ærede medlem at høre udviklingen i importtallene for europæiske motorkøretøjer i første kvartal af 1981.
As far as I see it, it is a perfectly legitimate ques tion that has been asked and indeed it is a perfectly legitimate question for the Commission to concern itself with.
I 1980 solgtes ¡alt 33 977 motorkøretøjer til Japan, det er 19 % færre end i 1979.
I can only say, finally to the honourable Member that if he is able tó look into the mind of an Irish Member when he asks a question, then he is a better man than I am!
Nedgangen i afsætningen udgør for britiske køretøjer 13 %, for franske 27 %, for tyske 19 % og for italienske køretøjer 25 %.
Miss De Valera. — I wish to thank the Commissioner for his reply.
I første kvartal af 1981 konstateres yderligere tilbagegang for denne eksport til Japan, men her har jeg dog endnu ikke tallene i enkeltheder.
However, as he will be aware, the consequences of the situation which I have outlined in this question could be so grave that I would ask the Commission to take steps, and to take them immediately, to prevent such a situation arising.
Med hensyn til resten af det ærede medlems spørgsmål foreslår jeg, at den behandles sammen med næste spørgsmål, som vedrører disse punkter i enkeltheder.
I wonder if the Commissioner could give me any information on whether or not such steps will be taken in the near future and, if so, could he outline exactly what those steps would be?
Ændringer af godkendelsesbestemmelser i Japan gælder normalt samtlige producenter, uanset nationalitet. De japanske myndigheder oplyser importører af udenlandske motorkøretøjer om alle ændringer i denne procedure.
Does the Commission not agree that the enormous difficulties facing European car manufacturers in the form of the constantly changing regulation applied by the Japanese type-approval authorities constitute at least a unilateral protectionist measure if not a clear infringement of the rules of international trade?
Efter anmodning fra Det euro pæiske Fællesskab og fra De forenede Stater er godkendelsesbestemmelserne for overholdelse af normerne for udstødningsgas og mulighederne for at foretage visse tests i Europa blevet lempet noget.
Mr Richard. — I am not sure whether I can talk about steps, but I can certainly talk about the way in which we are beginning to formulate policy.
I betragtning af den utilfredsstillende situation, har Kommissionen i adskillige år bestræbt sig på at begrænse vanskelighederne, og den har anmodet de
Mr Narjes, Member of the Commission. — (DE) Type approval of vehicles in Japan is covered by two procedures: type notification involving individual authorization for vehicles, and type designation involving authorization for particular models.
Narjes. — (EN) Jeg vil gerne benytte lejligheden til også at besvare spørgsmål nr. 4 af hr. Deleau.
Narjes notification procedure favoured by the European manufacturers.
fra Parlamentet i det omfang, der er behov for tillægsbevillinger til øgede eksportfremmende foran staltninger.
The first quarter of 1981 seems to have been marked by a further fall in exports to Japan which I cannot quantify in detail at this stage.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Deleau (H-839/ 80):
The Japanese administration informs the importers of foreign motor vehicles of all changes in the procedure.
Nu da den japanske offensiv i dag berører de mest for skellige brancher som f.eks. automobiler, lastvogne, motorcykler, farvefjernsyn, magnetoskoper, ure, mener Kommissionen så ikke, at dens reaktion for øjeblikket er intetsigende, og at den kendsgerning, at man simpelt hen sætter tre nøglesektorer under overvågning er tegn på Fællesskabets faktiske svaghedstilstand?
Mr Berkhouwer. — (NL) My pertinent question now is whether, having regard to the agreement recently concluded between Japan and America on a voluntary limitation of Japanese imports into the United States — I am putting my question differently from Mr Combe but it amounts to the same thing, — there are not grounds to fear that Japan, after losing possible exports to the United States, will now seek much more energetically to obtain compensation on the European market? Should the Commission not therefore exercise particular viligance and take action in this matter?
Og hvad angår sidste weekends foranstaltninger, som Kommissionens repræsentant i Tokyo fik forelagt den 1. maj, har Kommissionen gjort det klart i en presse meddelelse af 2. maj, at den ønsker omgående og præcise oplysninger og indhold og omfang af de aftaler, der er truffet mellem De forenede Stater og Japan. Kommissionen vil redegøre for resultatet af disse undersøgelser og de deraf følgende konsekvenser den 6. maj, altså onsdag formiddag.
Given that unsatisfactory situation, the Commission has been making constant efforts for several years to alleviate these difficulties and has asked the Japanese authorities to change their procedures.
FORSÆDE: MARCEL VANDEWIELE Næstformand
Mr Narjes. — (DE) I will use this opportunity to answer Question No 4 by Mr Deleau.
Cousté. — (FR) Vi har fået besvaret to spørgsmål, nr. 3 og nr. 4.
President. — I therefore call Question No 4, by Mr Deleau (H-839/80):
Og mit andet spørgsmål: da der nu er fastsat kontrol bestemmelser, råder vi så allerede nu over tal gældende for marts måned for de forskellige produkter, der er importeret fra Japan?
Mr Combe. — (FR) Your answer does not satisfy us at all, Commissioner, since there can be no doubt that the rules of international trade are being breached.
Narjes. — (DE) Det ville sandelig være ønskeligt, om de japanske importrestriktioner på det tekniske område så hurtigt som muligt blev revideret og gjort overskuelige.
Now that the Japanese offensive is affecting such widely varying sectors of the economy as the passenger vehicle, goods vehicle, motor cycle, coloured television, video recorder and watchmaking industries, does the Commission not think that its reaction so far has been inadequate, and that the decision merely to monitor three key sectors is symptomatic of the Community's present weakness?
Narjes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Hertil vil jeg sige følgende: Kommissionen har i de sidste måneder ved forskellige lejligheder over for Parlamentet redegjort for sin holdning til Japan og fremfor alt til den voksende eksport til Fællesskabet.
Mr Narjes, Member of the Commission. — In recent months the Commission has, on various occasions,
Rådet har her i særdeleshed givet udtryk for sin bekymring over den voksende bileksport.
Mr Narjes. — (DE) The supplementary by Mr Combe does not relate to his main question.
Kommissionen har ved årets begyndelse indført en fællesskabskontrol med import fra Japan af motorkøretøjer, farvefjernsyn og billedrør til farvefjernsyn samt visse værkstøjsmaskiner. Der vil blive aflagt beretning til Rådet, så snart alle resultater fra de første tre måneder af 1981 foreligger.
I would like to add one point, however, in connection with his ques tion: we are obviously aware that there are obstacles to exports and imports in both directions and that technical barriers to trade provide a welcome opportunity of erecting even greater obstacles than are really warranted.
Jeg har allerede tidligere gjort opmærksom på, at dette er opnået på enkelte områder, men at der endnu er store vanskeligheder med kontrollen med udstødningsgas i forbindelse med overgangen fra den såkaldte type notification til type designation.
In the case of Japan the specific point is that while the noise and brake tests can satisfactorily be carried out in European test centres, differences in respect to the exhaust gas tests are still wide.
Disse vanskeligheder består fremfor alt i, at det ikke er rimeligt, at de europæiske producenter skal lade disse tests foretage i Japan; de må kunne lade dem foretage i Europa og derefter opnå accept af Japan.
A further unsatisfactory point is that we can only work on the basis of type notification and cannot organize a general type designation for mass exports to Japan. All this is now under discussion.
Dette gælder også — hvis jeg må indføje det her — den af hr. Berkhouwer udtrykte bekymring over, at det, der ikke kan afsættes i De forenede Stater, nu skal presses ind på det europæiske marked.
It is difficult to quantify the extent of the effect of Japanese barriers to imports on sales of European motor vehicles in Japan.
Kommissionen arbejder henimod dette mål i Japan, og den mener, at netop den øjeblikkelige krise, som er udløst af den japanskamerikanske aftale, er tilstrækkelig anledning til at presse på i dette spørgsmål, fordi navnlig den japanske regering til stadighed henviser til, at de europæiske automobilproducenter bør fremme og intensivere deres eksport til Japan.
The honourable Member may, however, be interested in the statistical trend of imports of European motor vehicles in the first quarter explained to this Assembly its position on Japan and, above all, on the increase of Japanese exports to the Community.
Det ville dog være i modstrid med deres egne krav, dersom de ikke var samarbejdsvillige på området tekniske handelshindringer.
It refers in particular to its answer of 11 March 1981 to MrAnsquer and to the Council declarations of 25 November 1980 and 17 February 1981.
Kommissionen mener dog principielt, at importbegrænsninger ikke er noget egnet instrument til på længere sigt at imødegå den japanske konkurrence.
In those declarations the Council expressed its grave concern at increasing motor vehicle imports.
Dette gælder så meget desto mere; som europæisk industri jo skal møde japansk konkurrence ikke blot på det europæiske marked, men på alle verdensmarkeder. keder.
The Council called for effective controls in those sectors in which a further increase in Japanese exports to the European Community would create difficulties.
Kommissionen vil i overensstemmelse med Rådets ønske øge sine bestræbelser på at øge eksporten fra Europa til Japan. Den vil gøre dette i samarbejde med det europæiske erhvervsliv og regner også med støtte
At the beginning of this year the Commission introduced a Community procedure to monitor imports of passenger cars, colour television sets and colour television tubes as well as certain machine tools from Japan.
Yderligere har jeg henvist til, at Kommissionen så hurtigt som muligt vil aflægge beretning til Rådet om det første kvartal 1981. Men for omtalte periode foreligger på nuværende tidspunkt imidlertid ikke alle tal.
It will be reporting in accordance with the Council's wish as soon as all the results are available for the first three months of 1981.
Jeg går dog ud fra, at antallet af europæiske biler, der er kommet ind på det japanske marked, er faldet yderligere i årets første kvartal.
As regards the particular situation of private cars, the Commission is of the opinion that the import trend in the months of January to
Så var det jo kun så meget mere nærliggende også at forvente en sådan selvbegrænsning af en eller anden form over for Fællesskabet.
Now for my second question: since monitoring arrangements have been made do we already have figures for March in respect of the various products imported from Japan?
Men visse udtalelser, der blev fremsat af den nuværende japanske premierminister i forbindelse med undertegnelsen af aftalen den 1. maj står imidlertid hindrende i vejen herfor.
March — as it appears from Japanese data — is not compatible with the wishes of the Council and Commission for effective control over Japanese motor vehicle exports.
Disse udtalelser giver anledning til ufortøvet at følge dette spørgsmål op med stor alvor.
The Commission will be discussing this matter with the responsible Japanese authorities in the near future.
Welsh. — (EN) Er hr. Narjes enig i, at type-godkendelse er et symptom på problemet, men ikke selve problemet, som skyldes det japanske distributionssystem, idet det faktisk er umuligt for europæiske producenter at etablere distribution i Japan, som giver dem mulighed for at sælge det antal, der ville berettige en ændring af typerne?
The Commission is of the opinion that the Japanese motor vehicle industry must impose voluntary restrictions on the European Community market in exactly the same way as on the American market to avoid a further deterioration in the difficult situation facing the European motor vehicle industry.
Som' en del af den omtalte rapprochement til japanerne vil kommissæren da overveje at anmode den japanske regering om at bruge sine ministerier til at overtale de ledende japanske handelsfirmaer til at overtage distributionen for førende europæiske bilproducenter ud fra det grundlag, at dette ville være den bedste måde, hvorpå der kunne trænges ind på det japanske marked og sikres tilstrækkelig omsætning?
That holds good in particular — if I may add this point now — for the concern expressed by Mr Berkhouwer that cars which cannot be sold in the United States may now find their way to the European market.
Trods al kritik og uanset hvordan man end måtte bedømme situationen, skal man huske på, at Det europæiske Fællesskab i dette spørgsmål lader temmelig meget tilbage at ønske.
Mr Narjes. — (DE) It would indeed be desirable for Japanese technical restrictions on imports to be codified and reviewed at the earliest possible opportunity.
Det kommer áf, at der ikke findes nogen fælleshandelspolitik over for Japan, og Japan med rette kan påstå, at Europa her synes at være spaltet i mindst fire eller fem dele, og det derfor næppe kan gøre krav på at blive behandlet som en enhed.
I said a moment ago that this has proved possible in some areas but that there are great difficulties in the case of exhaust gas control and in effecting the change over from type notification to type designation.
Denne konstatering er rettet mod os alle, og under de nuværende forhold burde den være en fornyet advarsel om, at vi nu må øge bestræbelserne på at skabe en fælles handelspolitik og ikke fortsætte ad den hidtidige vej.
These difficulties consist essentially in the fact that European manufacturers cannot be expected to arrange for these tests to be conducted in Japan; it must be possible for them to be conducted in Europe and accepted by Japan.
Narjes. — (DE) Jeg vil gerne tilslutte mig hr. Welsh i, at der også findes andre hindringer end de tekniske handelshindringer — navnlig på salgsområdet — men spørgsmål nr. 3 vedrørte de tekniske handelshindringer og ikke det samlede kompleks af hindringer, som europæiske producenter rammes af, når de skal ind på det japanske marked.
As a matter of principle, however, the Commission does not view import restrictions as a suitable way of facing up to keener Japanese competition in the long term especially as the European industry has to face Japanese competition not only in Europe but on all the world markets.
Hvis vi så udvider spørgsmålet til at omfatte alle de barrierer, der skal overvindes for at sælge på det japanske marked, må vi efter min opfattelse naturligvis også tage de såkaldte sprog- og kulturbarrierer med i betragtning.
The Commission is working on that aim in Japan and it is of the opinion that the crisis triggered by the recent agreement between Japan and the United States provides a sufficient opportunity to make progress because the Japanese Government itself has repeatedly been insisting that European motor vehicle manufacturers should intensify their exports to Japan.
Her er der fra de europæiske producenters side tidligere forekommet en række svagheder, som har gjort, at de ikke en gang har gjort et forsøg på at komme over disse barrierer.
The Japanese Government would be contradicting its own wishes if it failed to cooperate in the area of technical barriers.
Men i de sidste måneder har man kunnet konstatere en tydelig ændring.
In line with the wishes of the Council, the Commission will intensify its efforts to step up European exports to Japan.
Deleau. — (FR) Denne fremgangsmåde finder jeg naturligvis ikke tilfredsstillende; De har blandet to spørgsmål sammen nr. 3 og nr. 4.
I have also pointed out that the Commission will be reporting to the Council as soon as possible in respect of the first quarter of 1981.
Nr. 3 vedrørte specielt automobilsektoren, og nr. 4. var langt mere generelt.
However, at this stage we do not yet have all the figures for the products concerned.
Jeg ville gerne have haft Kommissionens svar på spørgsmål nr. 4.
I assume that registrations of European motor vehicles in Japan will have fallen still further in the first quarter of this year.
Müller-Hermann. — (DE) Jeg vil gerne stille Dem to spørgsmål. Mener De ikke, at det ville være uheldigt på nuværende tidspunkt efter den indgåede ordning mellem De forenede Stater og Japan at skabe en form for alarmstemning i Europa, da enhver, der har kendskab til tingene, dog har vidst, at japanerne ville tilbyde en ordning inden den japanske ministerpræsidents besøg i De forenede Stater?
As regards the measures taken last weekend of which the Commission's representative in Tokyo was informed on 1 May, the Commission made it clear in a press release of 2 May that it is seeking immediate and detailed clarifications of the content and scope of the agreements reached between the United States and Japan.
Kommissæren mener, at han allerede har svaret på det, men jeg er ikke tilfreds.
The Commission will be informed on 6 May, i.e. on Wednesday morning, of the result of these inquiries and of the conclusions to be drawn there from.
Narjes. — (DE) Jeg vil gerne svare på dette spørgsmål.
IN THE CHAIR: MR VANDEWIELE
For det andet: måske er det en hjælp for Kommissionen at vide, at den japanske minister for udenrigshandel, hr. Tanaka, over for en parlamentarikerdelegation bestående af europæere og japanere i Tokyo den 18. februar på mit konkrete spørgsmål svarede ganske klart, at der i forbindelse med en selvbegrænsende ordning med De forenede Stater ikke var nogen tanker om at bringe de biler, som ikke længere kunne afsættes på det amerikanske marked, ind på det europæiske marked.
Mr Welsh. — Would Mr Narjes accept that in fact type approval is a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself, which is caused by the Japanese distribution system, for it is virtually impossible for European manufacturers to establish a distribution in Japan which will enable them to sell the sort of volume that would justify'their changing their types?
Måske kan det også være en hjælp at få at vide, at selvom den japanske regering, dvs. samme minister for udenrigshandel, hr. Tanaka, ikke udtrykkeligt har tilsluttet sig en aftale om frivillig begrænsning over for Europa, så omtaltes den dog som en mulighed, der absolut skulle tages i betragtning.
So as part of the rapprochement with the Japanese that the Commissioner mentioned, would he consider requesting the Japanese Government to use its good offices to per suade the principal Japanese trading companies to take distributorships for the 'leading European car manufacturers, on the basis that this would be by far the best way of penetrating the Japanese market and securing an adequate volume of sales?
Narjes. — (DE) Følgende til det første spørgsmål af hr. Müller-Hermann: vi er lige nu foruroligede over, at de to aftaler Japan-Amerika og Japan-Det euro pæiske Fællesskab ikke indgås samtidig. Den hidtidige
Mr Narjes. — (DE) I agree entirely with the honour able Member that there are obstacles — especially in the marketing sector — other than technical barriers, but question No 3 was concerned with technical barriers and not with the general subject of obstacles to access for European manufacturers to the Japanese
Konstatering nr. 2: jeg tror, at der ikke i så høj grad er tale om en branches krise som enkelte europæiske virksomheders krise.
Mr Cousté. — (FR) We have had two answers to two questions, Numbers 3 and 4.
