I sit memorandum fastslår Kommissionen ganske rigtigt, at ligebehandling af mænd og kvinder i skat telovgivningen er en nødvendig tilføjelse til de tre eksisterende direktiver om den europæiske kvindes stilling.
I am referring here to reports and debates on the position of women in Europe in 1981 and in 1984. In both reports and debates, there was extensive coverage of the unequal position of women as far as income tax is concerned.
Ligebehandlingen bør jo ikke standse ved en formel indrømmelse.
In 1984 Parliament even made a full analysis of the situation in the various Member States and here I refer to the first report by Mrs Roberts.
Det drejer sig om en fuldgyldig garanti, også i praksis, for kvindens selvstændige og ligeværdige position i samfundet. Dette omfatter naturligvis også skattelovgivningen, heller ikke der bør hun behandles som et af og til nydeligt vedhæng til manden.
In itself, it is quite understandable that the Commission should want to repeat this analysis and I am referring here to the study by experts on which the tabled memorandum is based.
Endnu en bemærkning om dette emne. Hvorfor onsker Kommissionen ikke endnu et kvindetiår?
The third criterion for assessing taxation systems was the pattern of tax deductions.
Måske fordi det tynger på budgettet, således som det er nævnt?
Not much need be said here.
Jeg tror ikke, denne begrundelse kan accepteres, fordi aldrig som i dette tilfælde har det været nødvendigt at foretage en seriøs afvejning ikke blot af omkostningerne, men også af fordelene.
Anyone looking at the range of deductions in the Member States cannot but see that these often concern aspects that are important for men and much less so aspects important for women.
Vi husker det totale sammenbrud af topmødet for so cialministrene, hvor der ikke blev vedtaget et eneste af de direktiver, der omhandler kvinder.
For example, day care is deductible in only a few Member States and then only to a limited extent.
Vi kan der for ikke acceptere, at de europæiske kvinder ikke skulle have brug for endnu et kvindetiår.
Everyone knows that day care is often a prerequisite if a woman is to be able to go out to work.
Vi ønsker at få disse svar. netop fordi konferencen i Nairobi står for doren.
We therefore urge that these kinds of costs be deductible in all Member States so that the taxation systems are not only more 'family friendly' but also more 'children friendly'.
Der er kun lidt tid tilbage for mig, fru Roberts, til at udtrykke min anerkendelse af Deres betænkning, som vil blive støttet af os.
Having said that, Madam President, I would like to make a couple of comments on the contents of the memorandum.
Som italiensk deputeret kan jeg bevidne, al særskilt indkomstbeskatning — et begrep i Italien, der blev indfort for ti år siden — er meget
In the European Community four income tax sytems are in operation: a joint-assessment system, a splitting system, a family quotient system and a system of separate assessment.
sentligt højere for eneforsørgeren, end den er for gifte par med to indtægter. Det er indirekte diskrimination, fordi det ene køn forfordeles, da det jo er et faktum, at eneforsørgeren stadig i almindelighed er manden.
An employer wishing to give his employees tn .the various Member States the same net income will have to pay a much higher gross income in a Member State where joint-assessment exists than in another Member State where married people are taxed separately.
Udgifterne til børnepasning er heller ikke fradragsberettigede, og det er igen en hindring for kvindens adgang til at søge arbejde.
This can influence the choice of a firm's location and there fore distort the operation of the Common Market.
I mit land har vi for nylig indført den såkaldte »lovgivning for to forsørgere«. Den er et eksempel på sløset lovgivning.
unmarried if that is what they wish and a system that fairly and evenly divides tax deductions and takes into account the needs of children.
Meget ufordelagtig for kvinder med lav indtægt, og det er desværre stadig tilfældet for størstedelen af kvinderne.
If the other Member States are to reach this point, it will be necessary to have a directive including all these features.
Følgen var, at i første halv del af dette år opgav ca. 15 000 kvinder deres arbejde, fordi denne lovgivning ikke længere gjorde det økonomisk fordelagtigt at fortsætte med det.
The Roberts report provides a well-wordedanalysis of all these issues particularly in Article 8 and I am extremely surprised that in her personal statement Mrs Roberts should have said that Article 8 concerns social security.
Selv om man nu indfører en såkaldt korrektionsmekanisme, har de 15 000 kvinder jo alligevel mistet deres arbejde. de.
All other lines concern taxation and therefore consider that no false arguments should be advanced in order to have a very useful Article scrapped.
Hvor det drejer sig om personlig beskatning, betyder ligebehandling for kvinder ikke blot særskilt beskatning af deres indkomst, men også en begrænsning af de omkostninger, der skal dækkes af denne indkomst.
Madam President, if Article 8 can also be accepted, I believe that we have a very good report from Mrs Roberts and I hope that, for this reason, every group will be able to support the report including Article 8.
Særskilt beskatning burde også gøre det muligt for kvinden at vælge at arbejde eller vælge at opdrage sine børn uden at blive udsat for pres på grand af skattemæssige virkninger for hendes indkomst eller for et ægtepars fælles indkomst.
Miss Tongue (S). — Mr President, I welcome the opportunity to debate this important subject, although I do have to say that I regret that it has taken the Commission four years to come forward with its memorandum.
Bestemmelser på det socialpolitiske område må tage hensyn til de ændrede parforhold.
This is how long it has been since Par liament first called for a draft directive on equal treat ment and taxation.
Det tror jeg gælder for to ud af tre par under 40 år i Frankrig.
I do appreciate, however, that a lack of staff could well have been one of the reasons.
Heldigvis har parlamenterne, det nederlandske og det europæiske parlament, sammen med EF-Kommis-sionen her opfyldt deres vagthundefunktion. Det be viser, at vi også må være meget på vagt med hensyn til skattelovgivningen, og at et forpligtende direktiv er nødvendigt.
Dame Shelagh Roberts (ED), rapporteur. — I don't know whether there was an error in the interpretation or whether Mrs Maij-Weggen misunderstood me.
Ironisk nok straffer de skattesystemer i en række lande, som oprindelig var udformet til fordel for familien, ægteskab og børnefødsler, faktisk ægteskabet. Dette er erkendt, og mange erklærer, at de er alene og bor alene eller bor sammen, fordi skattefordelene på grand af deres børn er dobbelt så store som for ægtepar.
We would naturally have preferred a draft directive rather than a memorandum as a legal basis for Com munity action in eradicating indirect discrimination against women exists and has existed for over a decade. ade.
Kvinders uhindrede adgang til arbejdsmarkedet udgør også et væsentligt aspekt af emnet kvinders genindtræden i erhvervslivet, f.eks. i forbindelse med voksne kvinder der har arbejdet i hjemmet, og det er et emne, som jeg fremsætter en betænkning om for udvalget om kvinders rettigheder.
Mrs Van Hemeldonck(S), draftsman of an opinion for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy. — (NL) Madame President, the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy has studied the Roberts report and the memorandum from those points of view within its jurisdiction, i.e. in essence the economic ones.
De damer og herrer, også den liberale og demokrati ske gruppe vil med glæde stemme for Roberts-betænkningen og støtter anmodningen om et direktiv, der er baseret på individuel beskatning af mænd og kvinder i skattelovgivningen.
I would also like to thank the rapporteur for the work she has done in preparing an admirable report.
Solidaritet med kvinder bør ikke holde op. hvor skattevæsenet begynder.
I regret, however, that some people who failed to engage in our discussion in the committee have seen fit to table a plethora of amendments with which we do not agree.
Det skal bestemt ikke være staten eller regeringerne i medlemsstaterne, som har indflydelse på den enkeltes personlige valg. Det er imidlertid statens og regeringernes pligt at træffe foranstaltninger, som letter de valg, der træffes af familier og kvinder.
The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs supports and welcomes the recommendations against fiscal cumulation of the incomes of married people as laid out in Mrs Roberts report.
Særskilt be skatning har den fordel både at respektere det valg, som kvinderne træffer, og at beskytte deres uafhængighed.
The analysis shows quite clearly that aggregation of the incomes of married people, whether or not tempered by a splitting system, almost always results in discrimination against a married working woman.
Særskilt beskatning for mænd og kvinder berører et følsomt område inden for Fællesskabets skattepolitik.
In this way, the same gross wages or gross income would result in varying net incomes depending on the Member State in which the work was carried out.
Jeg tror, det er derfor, Rådet er omhyggeligt og Kom missionen har været usikker.
If work by married women is punished in this way, married women will be less likely
Lemass (RDE). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg spekulerer på. hvad meningen er. hvis der er nogen, med, at alle talerne i forbindelse med dette emne har været kvinder.
This is very much the case with the majority of tax systems in the Member States, which work to benefit the so-called 'traditional' family, e.g. husband working outside the home with dependent wife and two children.
Jeg håber ikke. det betyder, at mændene befinder sig andetsteds og ikke vil støtte os i den ligestilling, vi søger at opnå.
This so-called traditional family now only represents 10% of all families in my country and, I am sure, elsewhere in the Com munity.
Jeg ønsker at lykønske dame Shelagh Roberts med det udmærkede arbejde, hun har udført
Many of these tax systems involve a very heavy marginal taxation of the family's second income
Alle, der har talt før mig, har taget dette op og har beskrevet situationen i deres respektive lande.
a women's income is often treated as invisible and as the property of her husband;
Piermont (ARC). — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne kort tage stilling til tre punkter og i den forbindelse bede Dem støtte vore ændringsforslag desangående.
the State does not think a woman is fit to be con sidered as an individual, a person in her own right who has a separate existence from her partner;
For det første : det, at man har fremlagt et memorandum om skattemæssig ligebehandling af mænd og kvinder, mener vi, er lige så virkningsfuldt, som hvis man havde givet medlemsstaternes regeringer en juridisk afhandling som godnatlæsning.
earner, which, given that women do not enjoy equal pay, invariably means that the woman of the house hold is the lower wage earner.
Ikke uden grund havde Parlamentet derfor allerede for halvandet år siden, den 17. januar 1984, krævet et bindende direktiv af Kommissionen. Som man ser forgæves.
So in many situations such tax systems serve as a strong disincentive for a wife to join the labour market.
Hvorfor skulle de så have travlt?
Again this will deter many women from taking up work outside, the home.
Det modsatte er tilfældet.
a woman has no privacy in respect of her own income;
Deres vurdering er under de givne om stændigheder yderst realistisk.
a woman is not considered fit to handle her own tax affairs.
De diskriminerende skattelovgivninger er endvidere udtryk for samfundets ringeagt for kvindens erhvervsbeksæftigelse of afspejler denne holdning.
I would finally reiterate that I look forward to receiving a very rapid response from the Commission in the form of a draft directive ensuring an end to discrimination in taxation.
Det er efter vores opfattelse utåleligt, at man endog forsøger at gøre kvinderne brødebetyngede rent psykologisk over deres materiel le handicap, som de klart har erkendt.
I would like to emphasize that any directive in this field will in no way interfere with Member States' individual control over fiscal policy.
For at runde af vil jeg gerne sige, at Europa, sådan som det er blevet fremhævet i løbet af hele denne mødeperiode, uden tvivl er truet, for så vidt dets institutioner angår, og at det ikke er til at vide, hvor dan dets udvikling vil forme sig i de kommende år efter topmødet i Milano.
The first three EEC directives, as we know, outlawed direct and indirect discrimination based on sex or marital status.
Men det er i endnu højere grad truet af nedgangen i fødselshyppigheden og af den stadig mere dramatiske udvikling i demografien.
However, here we are in 1985 with the majority of EEC Member States having tax and social security systems which treat men and women differ ently and women as inferior to men.
Vi er faktisk af den op fattelse, at det ville være ønskværdigt at harmonisere skattesystemerne i Fæl lesskabet og går naturligvis helhjertet ind for skattemæssig ligebehandling af mænd og kvinder.
These discriminatory systems also run completely counter to the small progress we have made in promoting equality in employment and in promoting the independence of women working inside and outside the home.
På den anden side beklager vi dybt, at visse indkomstskattesystemer straffer ægtepar, og det undertiden meget uretfærdigt, især i mit land hvor man privilegerer de par, der lever sammen i papirløse ægteskaber.
In my own country it is the man of the household who fills out the income tax returns and is under no obligation to declare his income to his wife. She, however, has to declare hers to him.
For det tredje: i femte og sjette tankestreg i punkt 8 foreslås der skattefradrag for bestemte byrder, f.eks. børnepasning. Skattefradrag kommer — som det er mere end bekendt — jun dem tilgode, der har høje indkomster, og stiller altså alene af den grand kvinderne, som i de fleste tilfælde tjener mindre, dårlige re.
Mrs Braun-Moser (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, the memorandum on income taxation and equal treatment for men and women which we have before us deserves praise for taking up the points which Parliament raised in February 1981 and in January 1984 regarding the position of women.
Derudover kommer en betalt husholdningshjælp, som skal sætte en gift kvinde i stand til at tage udarbejde, kun på tale for de få med høje indkomster. For flertallets vedkommende ligger dette, om skattefradrag så er virksomme eller ej, alligevel uden for mulig hedernes grænser.
In doing so it acknowledged the unequal treatment in fiscal matters which exists today, and proves that this contradicts the fundamental state ments made by Parliament in response to the corresponding three Directives on equal access to the labour market and equal promotion opportunities for women.
Derfor havde vi gerne set en effektiv og dynamisk familiepolitik fra Parlamentets side.
I would, in fact, like to see Mrs Heinrich's amendment as an amendment to the original text.
Lige siden jeg er blevet valgt ind i Parlamentet, har jeg anmodet om, at en sådan familiepolitik blev iværksat; men endnu er mit ønske ikke blevet hørt.
Women feel a deep sense of injustice and a distorted view of their earning capacity, as Dame Shelagh Roberts has said, under the present system.
Vi ønsker finansielle tilskud: husmoderløn, pension til husmødre, skattelettelser, boligtilskud.
However, as Mrs Heinrich pointed out this is also a result of the continuing low esteem in which society holds women's gainful employment.
Og vi ønsker ganske særligt at lægge hovedvægten på de skatteforanstaltninger, der vedrører familierne, for vi er os udmærket bevidst, at skattepolitikken er et af de instrumenter, medlems staterne råder over, som kan tjene til at afhjælpe den dramatiske demografiske situation i Europa.
Worse still, in the United Kingdom we have something that I believe exists nowhere else in the EEC, unless possibly it exists in a more disguised form.
Jeg hørte, at fru Roberts hentydede til de ændringsforslag, jeg har stillet på min gruppes vegne.
I refer to the famous MMTA — the married man's tax allowance.
Disse æn dringsforslag vil, så vidt jeg kan bedømme det, des værre blive forkastet.
This is a rather outdated institu tion that should have been made extinct a rather large number of years ago.
Det er ændringsforslag, der vedrører familien.
It is an insult to women and should be paid to the parent in principal care of children in the form of increased child benefits.
For det er ganske utroligt i dette Parlament at se, at betænkninger, der er forelagt af udvalget om kvinders rettigheder, aldrig taler om fa milien.
In the United Kingdom alone this would mean a cool £ 4 240 million for redistribution in child benefits.
Endnu en bemærkning til de foreliggende ændringsforslag.
Current evidence shows that with the number of working women in the Community on the increase — now standing at an average of well over 38% of the active population — there has been a change in the structure of the labour market.
En af machoerne i dette Parlament har været så venlig at give sig til kende.
The traditional family with only one breadwinner which received tax concessions is becoming more and more rare.
Hr. van der Waal viger ikke tilbage for at tale om en mulig ikke-ligebehand-ling, at kræve at de vigtigste krav stryges af beslut ningsforslaget og at gå ind for at opretholde begrebet husstandsoverhoved.
In most cases the access of women to employment is hampered by the various tax systems; in addition, the woman can be taxed as highly as the man after marriage with the result that she can be discouraged either from getting married of from carrying out her profession because being employed has this disadvantage.
Formanden. — Nu giver jeg ordet til hr. van de Waal. den første mandlige røst!
Braun-Moser are many married couples today who get divorced and then continue to live practically under the same roof whilst enjoying a lighter tax burden.
Van der Waal (NI). — (NL) Tak, hr. formand, jeg vil vente og se, om dette bifald også lyder, når har talt færdig.
Indeed we congratulate Dame Shelagh on the work she has put into this report and the work that she has pursued unequivocally on this subject in the past.
Jeg vil dog gerne understrege, at han gør bedst i at overlade fortolkningen af partiprogrammet til de medlemmer, som sidder her på det partis vegne, og at han ikke skal tage sig den frihed at give en ensidig fortolkning af vort partiprogram.
We sincerely hope that the initiative taken by the British Government in promising a Green Paper to propose the separate taxation of men and women will be seen as a step in bringing about some genuine reform of fiscal legislation. What we do not want is to wait another five years.
Jeg be klager i allerhøjeste grad, at han gør det. og jeg vil gerne have denne bemærkning fort til protokols.
We hope that it will come about much more quickly and that the Commission will take note of this move.
Formanden. — Fru Maij-Weggen, jeg tror ikke, vi kan anmode om en forhandling på det grundlag; men De har viderebragt Deres budskab, og det var vel formålet med det hele.
Secondly, the splitting system has a positive effect only when the wife draws no or only a low income.
Hr. formand, valget af et bestemt skattesystem er ikke udelukkende et spørgsmål om tekniske overvejelser.
Since it favours the single earner, it is no longer in keeping with the real situation as it exists today.
Et sådant valg baseres også på normer for synet på menneske og samfund.
With both the splitting and the family quotient systems the tax burden has been distributed until now between two or more people.
En opsplitning af denne samfundskerne i løsdele vil efter vores mening kunne få følger, der ikke er mindre ind gribende end kernesplittelsen i fysikken.
Efforts should be made instead to introduce maintenance or child allowances which are paid directly to the eligible parent.
Lenz (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg vil ikke kom mentere dame Shelagh Roberts' betænkning, men den forespørgsel, der er blevet stillet om verdenskvindekonferencen i Nairobi.
I said 'important subject' because in substance it relates to much more than money.
På dagsordenen er den for bundet med forhandlingen om dame Roberts' be tænkning.
In answer to a question in our national parliament recently, as to the impact on jobs of single transferable tax allowance, the Minister of State's reply was that the move to fully transferable tax allowances would alleviate the poverty and employment traps both of which are to be discussed in the forthcoming Green Paper.
Dette syn på familien som samfundets hjørnesten er en bekræftelse af mandens og kvindens fundamentale ligeværdighed, og det fratager heller ikke kvinden hendes ret til lige adgang til arbejdsmarkedet.
The different forms of discrimination range from taxfree allowances which only the husband receives — as in Greece or the United Kingdom — to taxation systems, such as that in the Netherlands, where the husband receives more tax concessions or the taxfree allowance is not granted to the person who bears the cost of child care.
På den anden side afhænger kvindens værdighed ikke først og fremmest af, om hun er økonomisk uafhængig af sin mand eller ej.
In addition, there is evidence that, for example in England, the tax declaration may only be signed by the husband, who is not required to divulge details of his earnings to his wife.
I disse dage tager de første delegationer fra alle lande til verdenskvindekonferencen i Nairobi. Også vi rejser derned denne weekend.
There can be no doubt that existing directives have proved inadequate to ensure equal treatment in fiscal matters, in that discrimination is seen still to subsist in certain cases.
Det europæiske Fælles skab kunne fremstille de opnåede resultater langt bedre på denne verdenskonference, hvis det havde gjort det, vi har krævet gennem flere måneder, nemlig at der i samarbejde med os blev udarbejdet et dokument til fremlægning på denne konference.
There are still countries in the Com munity whose fiscal legislation deters women from pursuing their right to equal access to employment and to promotion.
Indtil nu har Det europæiske Fællesskab ikke vedtaget et gyldigt dokument til fremlægning på verdenskvindekonferencen i Nairobi.
As previous reports have shown, there are areas of discrimination which do need correction.
Jeg vil udtrykkeligt gore opmærksom på, at det ikke skyldes rådsformanden, der skal repræsentere det i de kommende dage, men det forrige rådsformandskab og også Kommissionen, som åbenbart ikke så sig i stand til at fremlægge et sådant dokument.
It has been shown that a woman's income is often treated as belonging to her husband so that the woman has no separate existence as a taxable person. It is quite possible that in many cases a married woman is completely ignorant of household income and declarations for tax purposes.
Skønt ordførerens betænkning ikke helt udelader princippet om den bærende kraft, som vi taler for, vælger man dog heri en individuel beskatning af hver skattepligtig. På grundlag af dette syn på familien taler vi derimod for et ligedelingssystem.
On behalf of the Group of the European People's Party, and in support of the Dame Shelagh Roberts report, I urge that a Directive be issued as soon as possible which provides for a change in the taxation laws in the Member States and thereby introduces a taxation system which grants equal treatment between men and women as well as between married and unmarried women.
Vi mener, at vi dermed befinder os i selskab med det europæiske folkepartis valprogram, hvori man afviser den individuelle beskatning af respekt for familien.
It should also be kept in mind that women should not be denied access to employment and that they should not be discriminated against because of either their sex or their marital status.
Med dette system elimineres i hvert tilfælde skatteprogressionen, som kan afskære mange kvinder fra at tage arbejde.
Secondly, a married woman has no privacy in respect of her own income.
Der må også tages højde for besparelserne i husholdningen.
Thirdly, a woman is not entrusted with the handling of her own tax affairs.
