Først og fremmest en bedømmelse af de resultater, der reelt er blevet opnået ved hjælp af multifiberarrangementerne og de ordninger, der er blevet indgået inden for disses ramme.
We must bear in mind that for a large number of developing countries which are in the process of industrialization, textile production is an important sector of the economy.
Dernæst om de vanskeligheder, som vor tekstilindustri på indeværende tidspunkt er udsat for, ikke kun som følge af udviklingslandenes konkurrence, idet de for størstepartens vedkommende har undertegnet multifiberaftalen, men også som følge af verdensmarkedets udvikling og den tekniske udvikling.
We in the Community must also seek to persuade a number of developing countries, especially those which are- often described as newly industrialized, to minimize investment in those sectors of industry where we already have sufficient capacity to satisfy world demand. This applies not only to the textile sector, but also to a great extent to the steel sector.
Og endelig drejer det sig, således som det er blevet nævnt af flere talere, om fremtiden inden for en sektor, der i 1963 bekæftigede 3 124 000 mennesker, men i 1980 kun 2 30 000 for hele Fælles skabet; en sektor, der risikerer yderligere at miste flere hundrede tusind arbejdspladser i tiden indtil 1985.
Whilst we should not seek to use artificial means to prevent certain countries from starting production of textiles, it would clearly represent a considerable waste of resources in global terms if there were to be large-scale investment in the textile sector in countries which were subsequently forced to accept quota arrangements because our industries cannot be reorganized quickly enough.
Det er det, der er det afgørende punkt.
In this respect, we in the Community also bear a political responsibility.
Under hensyntagen til to faktorer, der på indeværende tidspunkt næppe forekommer i europæisk praksis.
The textile industry plays a major role in almost all the Community countries.
Jeg mener hermed, at det skal ske inden for rammerne af en virkelig industripolitik, som hr. Davignon var inde på i formiddags, men som vi savner i øjeblikket, samt under hensyntagen til en vis international strategi fra Det europæiske Fællesskabs side.
We must provide the industry with the injection of capital needed to enable the necessary restructuring to be carried out at a time when market conditions have changed for the rest of industry.
Således er der de lande, der har ment at kunne opgive de lave kvaliteter til fordel for de højere kvaliteter, mens andre for enhver pris har ønsket at opretholde hele produktionsskalaen.
One of the main reasons why we, as Liberals, are liable to be sceptical about the Multifibre Arrangement in the first instance is that the question remains of who is actually going to pay for this agreement.
Heraf følger de forskellige mønstre, som vi kommer ud for, hvad angår importens andel i vore markeder.
Clearly, we are introducing a Multifibre Arrangement of this kind in order to maintain employment in the short term in a sector where we know that restructuring has to take place, whilst hoping that other industries will be able to absorb large numbers of workers.
Det er på tide, at man laver en opgørelse over de indhøstede erfaringer, og at man forsøger på et få indført en fælles holdning, idet det selvfølgelig er helt klart, at de protektionistiske foranstaltninger, som vi er nødsaget til at gribe til, til trods for at vi har sværget frihandelstanken troskab, kun vil være bevendt, dersom de muliggør en omstrukturering og udvikling af vore egne virksomheder.
We must encourage these industries to make full use of new technology, and I would like to say to the Socialist speaker, who also mentioned the subject of technology, that we in the Liberal Group do not regard new technology and the advent of microprocessors as something which is bringing the world to rack and ruin, nor do we see this happening in the Community.
Beskyttelsesforanstaltninger inden for tekstilsektoren er, lige så lidt som inden for stålindustrien og snart måske også inden for
On the contrary, we believe that it is impossible to halt a process which is already under way, and that we should take up the challenges which it presents.
Hvad de opnåede resultater angår, kan vi sige, at de sandsynligvis ville have været endnu dårligere uden multifiberarrangementerne, men vi kan ikke dele den opfattelse, at de fastsatte målsætninger reelt skulle være nået.
In our view, new technology and microprocessors offer us a number of important challenges, and it is up to us to accept these challenges and to make use of them so that we really do create new and better jobs, which
Det er mit håb, at det må blive vedtaget.
duration of the forthcoming agreement.
I alle tilfælde vil de tanker, som vi giver udtryk for, ikke blive skrinlagt, idet vi i øjeblikket på dette område såvel som på en række andre kæmper for at få standset nedgangen i Europa og for at åbne vejen for en ny fremtid for millioner af indbyggere.
This tax would be used to finance the restructuring of the textile industry. These are the demands contained in a document jointly drawn up by the European Textile and Clothing Trade-Union Committee and by two European employers' organizations.
Denne kamp er kun lige blevet påbegyndt.
They are an absolute necessity.
Det er mit ønske, at det direkte valgte Parlament vil indtage den rolle, der tilkommer det.
The yield from the tax would form part of the Community' own resources and would be entirely set aside for its restructuring programme, which Mr'Davignon spoke of earlier.
(Mødet udsat kl. 13.00, genoptaget kl. 15.00)
That would serve no purpose at all.
FORSÆDE: GUIDO GONELLA Næstformand
For this reason, we are able to accept the text now before us.
Hr. Diligent har ordet.
President. — I call Mr Cousté.
Selvfølgelig bør vi give de fattigste lande en fortrinsberettigelse, men vi bør navnlig indrømme en fortrinsstilling til de lande, hvormed vi er associeret, det vil sige middelhavslandene og AVS-landene, og det, der gælder for udviklingsområderne, skal også være gældende for de industrialiserede lande.
Let there be no illusions. This programme has to embrace the complex whole of the European textile industry, that is to say not just weaving, clothing and spinning, but also knitwear and the textile machinery industry, which no-one has mentioned but which is so vital to Europe's development and independence.
Forhandlinger om fornyelsen af multifiberarrangementerne uden samtidig forhandling om begrænsning af importen fra De forenede Stater vil være en alvorlig fejl, så meget desto alvorligere som vi, hvis vi under ét betragter importen af tekstilvarer på vore markeder og ikke kun for multifiberaftalelandene, vil se en importforøgelse på 7 %, ja, jeg siger 7 %, for 1980 og 12 % for 1979 og 8 % for første halvår af 1980.
Yes, all this is true, but true only to the extent that this industrial and sectoral policy serves to fulfil that other major objective which is to bring real stability to the European Monetary System.
Diligent. — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, da det har været en meget indholdsrig forhandling, er det vanskeligt på sent et tidspunkt af debatten at frem komme med nye tanker.
President. — I call Mr Vandemeulebroucke.
Nu skal man blot ikke komme og foreholde os de ukrænkelige GATT-principper, som vi raskt tilsidesætter med multifiberarrangementerne.
Mr Vandemeulebroucke. — (NL) Mr President, this debate has really been a massive attack on the disappointing policy pursued by the Community.
I 1979 udgjorde vor tekstilimport 15,6 milliarder dollars og importen fra De forenede Stater kun 7 milliarder dollars.
Distortions of competition have continued, the pressure of imports has increased further.
Det skal gentages, at Europa fremdeles er det mest åbne område i verden.
Checks are very lax, imports enter the Community almost unhindered, safeguard measures are taken far too late — the.list is virtually endless.
Hvad er det da, der forhindrer Fællesskabet i at udarbejde en fælles industripolitik og en virkelig verdensomspændende strategi?
The outcome is correspondingly dramatic. In my country, for example, 800 textile firms have been closed ^and 38 000 jobs lost.
Selv om vor forhandling har muliggjort det for os at overveje en strategi, og selv om hr. Welsh' betænkning stedvis er glimrende, så er den fremdeles for forsigtig og tilbageholdende med hensyn til denne strategis udvikling.
And that is why we are proposing five measures: firstly, the introduction of ceilings on import levels based, not as before only on volume, but on percentages, and with a link being maintained between imports and the European market's capacity to absorb them.
Således burde denne forhandling i særdeleshed tillade os at rejse et spørgsmål, der forekommer mig at være af afgørende vigtighed for os europæere, nemlig oplysningsproblemet.
The common external tariff is the lowest of all the industrial countries in the whole world. Thirdly, for the maximum acceptable rate of penetration to be fixed at 33% in order to restore healthy competition.
Det er nemlig gennem oplysningsarbejde, at man får mulighed 'for at få rettet en række forudfattede meninger, der indebærer fare for at blive en trussel mod europatanken.
I should point out that this rate would still be double the 15% rate of penetration allowed by the United States and three times Japan's 10%.
Troen på Europa er nemlig til dels knyttet til løsningen af det problem, som vi har drøftet i formiddags.
I believe, fourthly, that we should fall in with the Commission's proposals and agree to the harmonization of certificates of origin.
Tekstil krisen indebærer imidlertid fare for, at der blandt de hårdest ramte dele af befolkningen vil opstå to meget farlige tanker.
To that extent we cannot support Mr von Wogau's report. Finally, it is essential to show courage by insisting on a temporary tax being imposed on all imports for the
Til disse overvejelser kan der føjes en række andre i forbindelse med forbedret kontrol, udarbejdelse af strengere regler for den passive forarbejdning samt udstrækning af multifiberarrangementet til også at omfatte hørindustrien, hvad angår spundne fibre og stoffer, samt de syntetiske tekstiler, hvad angår spundne fibre og flad, uspunden tråd.
If you look at these figures and compare them, for example, with the situation in the steel industry, you find that less than Bfrs 9 000 m in support loans has been granted to the textile industry in Belgium, as against 100 000 m to the steel industry, even though the textile industry pays the lowest wages and is furthermore principally geared to the employment of women.
Men jeg skal holde mig til det væsentlige: forhandlingerne om multifiberarrangementernes fornyelse vil, hvad hr. Haferkamp allerede véd, blive overordentligt vanske
These are disconcerting figures. Perhaps they are due to the fact that firms in the textile and clothing sector are typically small or medium-sized, thus being
Man véd, og man har bevist, at det er urigtigt.
he presented his report on the automotive industry.
Den anden opfattelse går ud på, at denne invasion er muliggjort af multifiberaftalen.
But, as Mr Welsh said when presenting his report in committee, his own group would in all likelihood be tabling a fuller resolution that spelt out a number of points more clearly.
Også det véd man er urigtigt, selv om der ganske vist er forekommet drønende fiaskoer.
This is also the position adopted by the Socialist Group.
Ikke desto mindre er tekstilkrisen en kendsgerning, og den i formiddags givne oplysning om nedlæggelse af 700 000 arbejdspladser er i sig selv tilstrækkeligt rædselsvækkende til, at vi bør udfolde alle tænkelige anstrengelser for at forhindre, at der på grundlag af de to nævnte forudfattede opfattelser går hen og udvikler sig uvilje mod europatanken og den tredje verden, en uvilje der let kan vinde yderligere terræn inden for de hårdest ramte sektorer.
As I say, therefore, we hope that we may, after discussing the amendments, see our way clear to voting in favour of this report, but we also hope — and there is actually a problem in this connection on which we trust the Chair will be able to give a ruling — to be able, like the Conservative Group, to submit our own resolution which seeks to go deeper into the problems raised not only by Mr Welsh but also by Mr Davignon this morning, and which will find their place in the report that Mr Haferkamp will be submitting on behalf of the Commission to the Council of Ministers.
Der er et slagord, der har gjort megen skade i Frankrig: Fællesskabet virker som en si ...
Practical help can, we feel, be provided only by means of a proper system of loans through the Regional Fund.
Mon ikke man burde have mod og åbenhed til at se sandheden i øjnene. Visse nationale domstole har på dette punkt gjort deres pligt, og jeg lader gerne guldmedaljen gå til retten i Hof (Bayern), der har idømt en grossist fire og et halvt års fængsel for at have importeret tekstilprodukter fra tredjelande under angivelse af, at der var tale om intern tysk samhandel.
Loans should certainly not go to firms that even now have no chance of survival but to the small and medium-sized firms, which always have to rely on the crumbs, for new electronic and computer-controlled technologies, on the basis of a clear-cut instalment policy.
Efter min opfattelse er det bedre at forebygge end at helbrede, og hvis der er tale om en »si«, så skyldes det udelukkende at forordningerne er dårligt udformet eller ikke bliver overholdt som følge af manglende tilsyn eller myndighed.
Until we have this, the Commission will be taking us from one disappointment to another and debates like this will serve no purpose, no purpose at all.
Det første hænger sammen med det netop anførte, nemlig visse fællesskabsinstansers tilsyneladende mangel på interesse, ja jeg var lige ved at sige deres nonchalance, i forbindelse med tekstilproblemerne. Jeg skal blot nævne et enkelt eksempel: forskningen.
Finally, and most importantly, we have to consider the future of a sector which, as several speakers have pointed out, in 1963 employed 3 124 000 people in the Community, and in 1980 employed only 2 330 000.
Hr. Davignon nævnte i formiddags de budgetmæssige fiaskoer.
That is the fundamental problem we are faced with.
Det er altså toldkontrollen, det drejer sig om, den toldkontrol der' er blevet råbt så meget op om under den franske nationalforsamlings undersøgelsesudvalgs arbejde.
Mr Vlahoroulos. — (GR) Mr President, I have followed the discussion on the Welsh report with a good deal of interest as all the Member States of the EEC have an interest in the textile industry.
For at de europæiske toldmyndigheder kan fortjene dette navn, bør de efter min mening være langt mere samarbejdsvillige.
Likewise, the production of textiles has a long tradition in Greece and many thousands of people are employed in factories and workshops connected with it.
Personlig har jeg ikke noget mod toldere, selv om jeg er ved at blive lidt irriteret over den gentagne kontrol i de kollektive transportmidler. Når jeg således tager toget fra Bruxelles til Paris og bliver kontrolleret gentagne gange, helt til jeg har nået Paris Nord, så er jeg ikke klar over, om jeg er forfulgt af uheldet, eller om jeg ligner en smugler, men i alle tilfælde er det altid mig, der bliver udpeget, min kuffert der skal åbnes.
I had, therefore, prepared myself to speak on the topic under discussion but, Mr President and colleagues, I shall not bore you by talking on the subject as I am conscious that your time is valuable and I do not underestimate your intelligence, since my colleague, Mr Filippi, has already given a clear and forthright explanation — and I should add that he did so in a very convincing manner — of what I myself intended to say.
Det er ikke så lidt skandaløst i betragtning af den krise, som vi i øjeblikket er udsat for.
Consequently, I am in complete agreement with the views and comments expressed by him.
På 1981budgettet er der opført en bevilling på 6 millioner ERE til støtte for tekstilindustrien, men det ser ud til, at man fremdeles ikke er klar over, hvad disse penge skal bruges til.
I merely want to draw attention to a figure which, I think, made an impression on us all, namely that 70% of imports come from Far Eastern countries and no effort has been made to bring about a balance in our exports or to restrict our imports.
Rådet og Kommissionen skal vide, at vi er rede til at fremkomme med idéer og forslag på dette punkt!
There is therefore a need for caution in the textile industry and measures should be taken on behalf of the textileproducing sector and the workers employed in it.
Det var de få betragtninger og overvejelser, som jeg kort ønskede at forelægge for Dem.
On the basis of the results we can say that they would probably have been worse without the MFA, but we cannot claim that the targets we set ourselves have really been achieved.
Jeg vil slutte af· med at gentage de tal, der blev nævnt i formiddags: over 700 000 arbejdspladser er blevet nedlagt; alene i min lille region omkring Roubaix og Tourcoing henved 40 000 arbejdspladser i løbet af 25 år.
The MFA has had a moderating influence on so-called low-price imports, of Group I and II, that is to say on imports of sensitive and ultrasensitive products, but it has failed to prevent a sharp rise in imports of products belonging to other categories.
Disse tal er tilstrækkeligt talende til at give Dem en idé om den håbløshed — og dette ord er ikke for stærkt — der i stadigt stigende grad præger denne sektors arbejdende befolkning.
Now this deep penetration of our markets which, in certain cases, far exceeds the 6% allowed for, places our industry in an extremely dangerous situation.
De kan tro mig, når jeg siger, at disse mennesker har indtrykket af at udgøre en slags tredje verden i Europa, og dersom den nedgang, som vi er inde i, skulle fortsætte, vil europamodstanderne let kunne overbevise vore befolkninger om, at Fællesskabet er ude af stand til at løse sine mest vitale problemer.
In fact, whilst in the 1960s and early 1970s consumption of textile products in Europe was increasing at a steady 3 or 4% a year, the current growth rate is no more than 12% for textiles and 11% for clothing and it is highly unlikely that we shall exceed this level of. consumption in the coming years.
Det ønsker hverken De eller vi, og vi vil aldrig kunne gå med til, at håbløshedens Fællesskab skal træde i stedet for forhåbningernes Fællesskab.
Under the circumstances how can we possibly absorb a 6% average annual growth in imports from low-price countries without unleashing a new unemployment crisis?
Således oplever vi inden for visse erhvervssektorer en slags
The problem is to overcome the situation, not to ignore it or over-react to it.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger ønsker at se fremad fremfor at prøve at standse historiens gang.
Martinet overall level of imports of textile products into the Community and not just those from the MFA countries, we find that the rate of import penetration was 7%, yes, 7% in 1978, 12% in 1979 and 8% in the first six months of 1980.
Pearce. — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg synes, at hr. Welsh har skrevet en god betænkning.
and indirect costs, are 5 to 15 times lower than in the industrialized countries and where even the basic social standards laid down in the recommendations of the International Labour Organization are being totally disregarded.
Jeg finder den god, fordi den tager passende hensyn til de stridende kræfter, som findes her.
Taking 100 as the average for Europe, the hourly wage costs in Hong Kong are 30 and in Egypt 6.
Betænkningen går ind for en vis grad af beskyttelse af Fællesskabets tekstilindustri.
That is why I talked of hourly wage costs being 5 to 15 times below those found in Europe.
Den går ind for tanken om et pusterum, en redningsplanke for denne hårdttrængte industrigren, som har mistet så mange arbejdspladser.
We cannot turn aside imports coming from these countries, but on the other hand we cannot — and this is the essential point — open our doors in the same way to everyone.
Den går ind for tanken om at skabe stabilitet og give en periode, i hvilken man kan tilpasse sig nye betingelser.
We have to know how to choose, and we have to have the courage of our choice.
Hr. formand, nu vil jeg gerne anslå en lidt realistisk tone med hensyn til udviklingslandene og henlede opmærksomheden på ændringsforslag nr. 11, som jeg har fremsat. Der består en vis risiko for, at et eller flere udviklingslande pludselig begynder at eksportere store mængder tekstiler til Fællesskabet, noget som ville kunne blive til stor skade for visse sektorer.
Let no-one try to fling the sacrosanct principles of GATT in our teeth, when we are in fact cheerfully violating them with the Multifibre Arrangement.
I den forbindelse er det ikke relevant, at kun 1,8 % af vor tekstilimport stammer fra udviklingslandene.
Europe remains, quite clearly, the most open area in the world.
Det er derimod relevant, at der pludselig sker en voldsom import af en bestemt vare til en enkelt medlemsstat.
What is preventing the European Community from working out a common industrial policy and a proper overall strategic plan?
Men jeg mener på den anden side heller ikke, at den går ind for tanken om fuldstændig beskyttelse, og under indtryk af det, der er blevet sagt i de fleste indlæg her i debatten, tror jeg, at jeg lige bør opholde mig lidt herved.
On the basis of two factors that are today almost entirely lacking from the European scene. By that I mean a proper industrial policy, which Mr Davignon spoke of this morning but which for the moment does not exist, and also some kind of international strategy for the European Community.
Her i Europa kan vi ikke fuldstændig lukke adgangen til import fra andre lande.
The truth is that our countries have been going and continue to go their different ways in this area.
Vejen ud af den afmatning, som vi alle slås med, indbefatter også handel — en udvidelse af handelen — og det mener jeg, at hr. Welsh gør fuldstændig ret i at understrege i sin betænkning.
Some have thought they could sacrifice the lower end of the market in favour of the upper end, while others wanted to keep the whole market for them selves at all costs.
Vi skal også prøve at undgå risikoen for, at der bliver gjort gengæld over for vor egen eksport, hvis vi har for restriktiv en holdning over for import fra andre lande.
We find that attitudes differ depending on the form that penetration of our markets takes.
Vi kan ikke forvente, at folk skal købe vore varer, hvis vi ikke vil købe deres.
It is time we pooled these various experiences and got down to establishing a joint position, bearing in mind that the protectionist measures to which we are forced to resort in spite of our sworn allegiance to the principles of free trade only make sense in so far as they enable us to reorganize and expand our own industries.
Jeg mener, at vi har en forpligtelse til at prøve at'bevare vort gode navn som handelspartner ved ikke at styrte os hovedkuls ud i en ordning, som udelukkende er baseret på beskyttelse, noget som ellers synes at appellere til en del tidligere talere.
Protective measures in the textile sector, as in the steel sector, are not enough: We have to have common industrial policies and, on the basis of these policies, make strategic choices.
Jeg vil gerne minde om, at der i Lomé-aftalen i afsnit 2, artikel 12 er en sikkerhedsklausul, og med hensyn til de lande, som har underskrevet Lomé-aftalen, forpligter Fællesskabet sig til at give importfrihed for deres færdigvarer, hvor dette er muligt.
There are many other points that we could mention to do with, for example, improved surveillance and monitoring procedures, the drawing-up of stricter rules on outward processing, and the extension of the MFA to include the flax industry as regards fibres and fabrics, and the synthetic textiles industry as regards discontinuous fibres and continuous flat yarn.
Personligt håber jeg stærkt, at' denne importfrihed kan bevares. Men jeg kan også godt se, at der som med tilfældet Mauritius kan opstå situationer, hvor dette kan vise sig vanskeligt, og hvor der vil opstå krav om beskyttelse selv mod Lomé-lande.
Parliament's role is to deliver an opinion to the Commission.
