Fællesskabet kan ikke nægtes en rolle inden for et område som er afså enorm betydning for vore folk.
Indeed, the major Member States of the old Ten, including the United Kingdom, are all parties to the declaration of principle of 1978, under which they agreed to joint defence procurement for a variety of major weapons, including helicopters.
Vi europæiske liberale mener derfor, at der bor findes en europæisk losning på Westland-spørgsmålet.
This Parliament is also committed to ensuring the maintenance of an effective design and research and development capacity in Western Europe.
Vi må ikke lade aktionærerne alene træffe afgørelsen.
This must surely apply to helicopters, both for military and civil­ian uses.
Her er britiske og europæiske sikkerhedsinteresser berørt, og de må have første prioritet.
Without it, indeed, there is no way in which Europe could hope to achieve a reasonable balance in • trade in major weapons across the Atlantic.
Derfor opfordrer det europæiske folkepartis gruppe aktionærerne til at tage hensyn til disse europæiske interesser, når de træffer deres vigtige afgørelse i morgen.
At the moment, as we all know, that trade is extremely one­sided in favour of the United States.
Vi opfordrer endvidere den britiske regering til at tilstræbe en europæisk losning og anmoder udenrigsministrene, der træder sammen inden for rammerne af det europæiske politiske samarbejde, til at fremme et europæisk koncept for Westland.
Loyality to the Atlantic Alliance and to NATO cannot mean that we in Western Europe should be content to become sub­contractors for the Americans, dependent on their ideas, their research and their development of technol­ogies.
Efter min mening indeholder Westland-debatten et særdeles positivt element.

For nogle år siden var der ingen, der ville have vovet at tilbægge en indenrigspolitisk debat i Det forenede Kongerige så stor be tydning.
Β 2-1443/85), tabled by Mr Prag and Mr Patterson on behalf of the Euro­pean Democratic Group, on the European helicopter industry;
Det er ganske rigtigt, at vi har et afsnit i vort beslutningsforslag, hvori vi beklager, at det europæiske konsortium er kommet så sent til hjælp. Jeg kan godt forstå, at både direktørerne og arbejdsstyrken er frustrerede over at høre erklæringer fra så mange sider, inklusive den britiske regering, om deres tro på europæisk samarbejde, når de rent faktisk ikke gjorde noget som helst for at fremme det.
On the subject of employment at Westland, I am in no doubt that if Westland or any other European com­pany accepted the Sikorsky deal or any similar offer, its participation in future European projects would be placed in jeopardy.
Hvornår begynder hun at forstå?
I will explain why.
Hvornår vil hun endelig blive klar over, at Englands fremtid ligger i Europa?
European heli­copter technology happens to be pretty good.
Tror hun virkelig, at virksomheder, for at overleve, skal være amerikanske underleverandører?
If Westland accepted the Sikorsky offer technological secrets transmitted to Westland for the purpose of joint def­ence projects would be available to Sikorsky, which is a deadly competitior to Europe in world markets.
Der er ikke nogen glans i den isolering, hvori hun gang på gang indelukker Del forenede Kongerige.
As many helicopters are sold for civilian purposes as for military purposes.
Dette har været og er vor politik af fire væsentlige grunde.

Storbritannien har ikke længere mulighed for at råde over følgerne.
Finally, there is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the economic and political aspects of security which, under the terms of the London report of October 1981, concern the Foreign Ministers meeting in political cooperation.
Dets fremtid ligger i Europa.
That is why it concerns this Parliament.
Westland er stadig en europæisk virksomhed.
would have dared to attach such importance to European interests during an internal political dispute in the United Kingdom.
Lad den forblive en europæisk virksomhed!
I do not wish to interfere in the internal political situation in the United Kingdom.
(Bifald) dag ligger mellem os og De forenede Stater og Japan, fortsat øges. og vi vil ikke længere kunne reducere den.
However, I think that all candidates for the post of Prime Minister or Federal Chancellor in a Community Member State in coming years should first of all prove that they are good Europeans!
Vort kontinents økonomiske enhed skabes ikke ved hjælp af europæisk retorik.
I wish anyone who ful fills this condition every success in his or her political career.
Der er behov for noget helt andet!
(Mixed reactions)
Westland­affæren var og er en vigtig lejlighed, som vi ikke må lade gå fra os.
(Applause from the centre and the right)
Westland står over for. skyldes hovedsagelig den tidligere forsvarsminister.
This has been and is our policy for four main reasons.
Michael Heseltine. for hvis han havde haft mod til at yde Westland Helicopters virkelig støtte ved at afgive bestillinger på deres produkter, ville denne krise ikke være alligevel opstået.
The first reason is that, unfortunately, high technology is nowadays indissolubly linked with military pro grammes.
87% af Wcstlands omsætning er afhængig af forsvarsministeriet, og har man i for­svarsministeriet talt om udskiftning af helikoptere i de sidste 15 år.
If the Twelve are to compete effectively in the 21st century, if many of our best scientific brains are not to be exported en masse to California, we must be pioneers in military as well as civilian science, and that requires the pooling of resources and of purchasing policies.
Personligt mener jeg, at det, der interesserer os her i Parlamentet, ikke så meget er de egentlige årsager, til, at de engelske myndigheder har indtaget så modstri­dende holdninger, at Thatcher­regeringens stabilitet ligefrem er kommet i fare.
Politically, strategically, and from the point of view of arms technology, the USA, with a population of 239 million people, is a long way ahead of the European Community with its 320 million.
Hvor ædle disse holdnin­ger end måtte være, så er det fakta, der interesserer os.
To be frank, it is not America that is too strong, but Europe that is too weak!
Uden at bruge sto­re ord og uden at insistere for meget på dette må vi imidlertid med stor frimodighed konstatere, at West­land­sagen byder os en lejlighed til at gribe fat i noget, går langt ud over dette specifikke anliggende, idet det får en betydning, som kan være et vende­punkt eller begyndelsen til en ny proces, som så ofte er blevet varslet under debatter, ved rundbordssam­taler og i dokumenter, men som man aldrig konkret har taget fat i.
The disposal of a substantial shareholding in Westland to the American Sikorsky concern would place a further area of technological development — in this case helicopter production — under American control, to the detriment of British and European interests. To say this is not to be anti-American.
Faktum er, at der anvendes spillebule­taktik for at komme af med vigtige aktiver: aktier sælges for 20 ρ over værdien under millionærerne sidste indsats for at bevare kontrollen over de menneskers liv og arbej­de, som har givet deres liv til helikopterindustricn og til denne virksomhed.
Secondly, it is of immediate importance for trade across the Atlantic and, therefore, for employment in Europe.
Hvis Sikorsky­tilbudet accepteres, er det et spring ud i det uvisse.
Thirdly, it is a necessary preventive measure against anti-Americanism.
En garanti på en million mande­arbejdstimer garanterer ikke Westlands evne til hverken at designe eller udvikle helikoptere.
Human nature being what it is, the peoples of the Member States — and perhaps especially the larger ones — will resent an ever-growing dependence on the United States.
Det garanterer kun en ting: en massiv overførsel af tekno­logi og mekanisk ekspertise tværs over Atlanden.
If we prove our capacity to equip ourselves, the American people will be the better convinced of our value as partners and as allies.
Men lad mig udtrykke det klart: det er britiske Labour­partis politik, at staten bor eje en betydelig del af aktierne.
We need our American partners and friends, but a Westland-Sikorsky merger would also be contrary to American interests.
Det er regeringerne der må løse de proble­mer, som regeringerne har skabt.
For years our American partners have been calling on us to strengthen Europe.
Og der er ikke nogen undskyldning for at di stanccre sig fra en virk­somhed som bogstavelig talt er fuldstændig afhængig af den britiske regering for h ver en krone.
If we can now take firm steps towards this, then we must do so, and the Americans should also show understand ing.
Vi er klar over, at i en markedsøkonomi som den, vi lever i og fortsat ønsker at leve i, vil industripolitik­ken forst og fremmest tage sigte på den teknologiske og økonomiske faktor.
Fourthly and finally, it is absurd to seek, as the Treaty requires, an ever-closer union of the peoples of Europe and at the same time to ignore the vital issues of arms procurement and production.
Man kan ikke bede en virk­somhedsleder om at give afkald på gevinst til fordel for abstrakte idealer.
The Community cannot be denied a role in a matter which is of such enormous importance to our peoples.
Profittens lov, ærede kolleger, må ikke tillæges en absolut værdi, på hvis alter alt bør offres, som om det drejede sig om en ny hedensk gud.
We European Liberals believe therefore that a European solution for Westland must be found.
En moderne virksomhedsleder, som bør være inspireret af en sand industriens ånd, bør ud over til­fældige tal forstå at rette sit blik mod en bredere hori­sont.
We cannot leave this decision to the shareholders alone. British and European security interests are affected, and these must have priority.
Hvis der ikke en gang for alle kommer gang i dette industrielle samarbejde og den industrielle inte­gration på europæisk niveau, vil den afstand, der i
We also call on the UK government to seek a European solution and urge the Foreign Ministers meeting in European Political Cooperation to support a European solution for Westland.
Vi mener, at denne virksomhed fungerer bedst, når den er uafhængig og arbejder sammen med europæis­ke virksomheder, som britiske virksomheder har gjort det i årevis. Det er der en lang tradition for. Vi har designet Tornado.
In my opinion the Westland debate reveals one extremely positive factor: a few years ago no one
En sådan begivenhed ville vende op og ned på den strategi, alle de vigtigste europæiske virksomheder inden for denne sektor følger, idet deres teknologiske, produktive og han delsmæssige planlægning er baseret på sådanne samarbejdsprogrammer. arbejdsprogrammer.
Mrs Thatcher has become notorious for repeating very often, somewhat shrilly and always inaccurately: 'I want my money back!'. If she gets her way and blocks the European reconstruction of Westland, it will be useless for her to cry: 'I want my helicopters back!'.
Lad mig afsluttende sige følgende.
Control of them will have gone beyond recall.
Det britiske kaos er underfuldt at skue.
When will she ever learn?
Spørg Paddy Ashdown hvilke forbindelser har har med De forenede Stater.
When will she finally realize that Britain's future lies in Europe?
Spørg alliancen om de allierede, for det er de ikke — de er fuldstændig splittede.
Does she really believe that in order for European companies to survive, they have to be turned into American subcontractors?
De regner med, at De belærer os.
There is no splendour in the isolation in which she locks the United Kingdom time and again.
Giv dem en belæring.
Britain alone no longer has the capacity to rule any waves.
De ved ikke, hvad de gor.
Its destiny lies in Europe.
Vi kan på den anden side ikke have tiltro til de for sikringer, Sikorsky og Fiat fremsætter, når de påstår, at de vil være villige til at påtage sig Westlands nuværende forpligtelser over for de europæiske partnere.
law of profit, ladies and gentlemen, cannot be the overriding consideration, an altar on which everything must be sacrificed, as if it were a present-day pagan god. Modern industry, inspired by a true industrial culture, must be able to look beyond the figures to a broader horizon.
Det drejer sig om løfter, som i alt for høj grad kontrasterer med De forenede Staters interesse i at blokere den voksende indflydelse på markedet, som de europæiske virksomheder i fællesskab er i stand til at udøve, hvis de optræder enigt og samordnet.
If industrial cooperation and integration at European level does not get started once and for all, the present gap between us and the United States and Japan will grow instead of decreasing.
Det var i øvrigt det, der skete med Airbus-flyet, som giver Europa mulighed for ikke at være fuldstændig afhængig af De forenede Stater med hensyn til konstruktion af civile fly.
Those who support the Fiat-Sikorsky agreement are therefore being short-sighted; those, like Fiat, who on grand occasions preach the need for European collaboration, but in practice merely pursue a policy of the greatest short-term interest, can't see straight.
Det jeg ønskede at sige. er, at jeg håber, kompromis teksten bliver vedtaget.
The economic unification of our continent will not be achieved by the rhetoric of Europeanism.
Ellers opstår der misforståelser.
Westland is still a European company.
Hr. formand, vi er i færd med at spille et spil af strategisk betydning for Europa, som i øvrigt ligger tæt op ad de bestræbelser, der gøres i forbindelse med Eureka-projektet.
Mr Novelli (COM). — (IT) Mr President, to put together all the pieces which make up the jigsaw puzzle of the Westland affair is not an impossible task, but it is certainly impossible to avoid embarrassment, or rather a sense of irration if not nausea, on recognizing the real intentions of the various protagonists.
Derfor er det nødvendigt at benytte alle mulige midler for at fremme en europæisk løsning på Westland-sagen. Derfor anmoder vi Kom missionen og Rådet om at tage initiativer i denne retning, også for at bevare den nuværende beskæftigelse og for at garantere fremtidsudsigterne for en sektor, som på sin side kan hjælpe os til at bekæmpe arbejdsløsheden.
The saga of the UK helicopter manufacturer has now taken on an international aspect, inviting public opinion to consider carefully the validity of certain state ments of principle, not only on the ideals of European unity, but also on the benefits of a process of collaboration and integration between the industries of the twelve Community Member States.
Mallet (PPE). - (FR) Hr. formand, Westland-sagen er vigtig både på grund af sin symbolske karakter og på grund af sit indhold.
Mr Balfe (S). — This crisis that Westland is facing is principally the responsibility of Mr Michael Heseltine, the now ex-Secretary of State, because if he had had the courage to actually back Westland Helicopters with some orders for their products, this crisis would not have arisen.
Den er vigtig for Det forene de Kongeriges fremtid, og den er vigtig for Europa.
Westland depends for 87% of its trade on the Ministry of Defence, yet for the last 15 years the Ministry of Defence has been talking about replacement helicopters.
Didò (S). — (IT) Hr. formand, vi er alle overbevist om. at affæren omkring Westland må løses inden for rammerne af de strengeste økonomiske kriterier for industrisektoren, men man må bestemt heller ikke undervurdere den kendsgerning, at grundlæggende værdier og målsætninger for den europæiske økonomiske og teknologiske integration, og mere konkret denne sektors fremtid, i høj grad er berørt af hele dette anliggende.
For the last seven years they have been talking about the W30, a helicopter still not ordered by the British Government from this British helicopter firm that is regarded by Michael Heseltine as being so vital.
For Det forenede Kongeriges vedkommende drejer det sig, lad os sige det lige ud, efter vor mening om et politisk valg.
If he was so concerned, why did he knock the W30 purchase out of last year's programme when it was ready to go into commission?
Vil Det forenede Kongerige prioritere sine særlige, mere og mere illusoriske, forbindelser med De forenede Stater, eller vil det prioritere europæisk solidaritet, således som, tror jeg, flertallet af vore engelske venner her?
Can I suggest that it is because he is committed so heavily to buying Trident from the Americans that he could not afford to put it in the programme in the first place.
Virkningerne af Westland-sagen vil strække sig langt ud over denne virksomheds rammer, og den er en vigtig milepæl for alle de europæiske helikopterindustriers fremtidsudsigter og strategier.
Personally, I believe that this House should not con cern itself with the real reasons which caused the UK authorities to adopt attitudes which were so contradictory as to cause a direct threat to the stability of Mrs Thatcher's government.
Hvis Westland bliver overtaget af Sikorsky, vil Westland bla. ikke længere have interesse i at deltage i NH 90-programmet, som er den største udfordring til Europas teknologi- og produktionssektor med hensyn til den næste generation af civile og militære helikoptere.
And the fact is that a decision is being taken at this very moment not only on the immediate fate and the future of a company, but also on the prospects of technical cooperation within European industry.
Ligesom Westland ville miste interesse i at give penge ud — som det er nødvendigt — for at kunne fuldføre de øvrige joint venture, som dette firma del tager i i Europa, først og fremmest med det italienske firma Agusta samt med Aérospatial, Messerschmitt,
I am not exaggerating when I.say that we must, however, point out with complete frankness that the Westland affair has provided an opportunity, the value of which goes far beyong the specific event, as it assumes a significance which could represent a turning-point or the begin ning of a new process which has often been predicted in debates, at round-tables and in writing, but has never actually materialized.
Det er vor overbevisning, at den nationale interesse er sammenkædet med den europæiske solidaritet.
The fact of the matter is that what we are seeing is a casino-style operation to dispose of a vital asset: shares changing hands for 20p and more above their value in a last effort between millionaires to control the lives and working prospects of people who have given their lives to the helicopter industry and to this particular company.
Det er vor overbevisning at England, den tidligere ver densmagt, kun kan genfinde sin rolle ved hjælp af Europa, at Englands fremtid ligger i Europa. Det var det første, jeg ville sige.
It is absolutely obscene that we should be put in a position where the future of this industry is determined not by governments, not by public policy, but by a shareholders' South Sea bubble.
For det andet er det en vigtig sag for Europa, først og fremmest på det politiske plan.
Because, if the Sikorsky option is taken up, what we have is a leap in the dark.
Vi er inden for PPE overbeviste om den atlantiske alliances afgørende betydning for Europas sikkerhed.
The guarantee of a million manhours of work over three years does not guarantee jobs, it does not guarantee Westland's ability to either design or develop helicopters.
Vi vil kæmpe mod den faretruende risiko, der ligger i en strategisk afkobling mellem Europa og De forenede Stater. Men der er to opfattelser af den atlantiske alliance: Europa som vasal eller Europa som partner, det vil sige Europa på lige fod med USA, eller Europa som en underafdeling af USA,
The only thing it guarantees is a massive transfer of technology and engineering expertise across the Atlantic.
Mallet fremtid — de er aktionærer, hvoraf mange er arbejde re på Westland.
Balfe there should be a substantial state shareholding.
I morgen træffer de beslutning om. hvad deres aktiepost giver dem ret til.
Governments must solve the problems that governments have caused.
reduceret til underleverancer.
We believe that this company is best independent, working in collaboration — as British companies have done for years — with European companies.
Vi vælger selvfølgelig »partnership«, det vil sige en alliance, der bygger på to grundpiller.
We have a long history of working with them.
En europæisk grundpille kan dog ikke eksistere uden en europæisk våbenindustri.
We have designed Tornado, Airbus and other projects.
Denne sag er også meget vigtig for den europæiske okonomi.
Europe at political and industrial level, agreements upon which the programmes of the European con cerns are currently based.
Våbenindustrien er. enten man vil det eller ej. et væsentligt element i Europas teknologiske industri, hvilket er blevet understreget i mange af Parlamentets betænkninger: jeg tænker i den forbindelse særlig på hr. Klepschcs betænkning.
If taken over by Sikorsky, Westland will no longer be interested, among other things, in participating in the NH90 programme, which represents Europe's greatest technological and production challenge for the next generation of civil and military helicopters.
Der findes ingen industriel og teknologisk strategi i Europa, der findes intet indre europæisk marked uden en militær-relateret faktor.
Similarly, Westland would lose interest in allocating its best resources, as is necessary, to the completion of other joint ventures in Europe, primarily with Augusta of Italy as well as Aérospatiale, Messerschmitt, GEC and British Aerospace itself.
Her er situationen helt klar.
They do not know what they are doing.
Det afspejler ligeledes den dybt gående opfattelse, at Vesteuropas landes sikkerhedsinteresser ligner hinanden og kræver losninger, der er indbyrdes afhængige og ligner hinanden.
Such promises are too much in conflict with the US interest in blocking the growing influence on the market which the European firms as a whole are capable of exercising when they present a united and coordinated front.
Jeg behover ikke at minde Dem eller Parlamentet hr. formand, om de betænkninger, der er udarbejdet af hr. Klepsch og Adam Fergusson i 1982.
After all, the Airbus venture shows that Europe need not be totally dependent on the United States in the civil aircraft construction industry.
Det er lykkedes os at skabe et Europa for den civile luftfart.
What I would say is this.
Det. der mangler, er en fælles europæisk holdning til forsvaret med visse instrumenter.
I hope we will adopt the compromise text.
Jeg tænker på — det er min personlige opfattelse — et våbenagentur inden for rammerne af Den vesteuropæiske unions Fredsforsamling.
It is not the best text by any means, because what we see — and I will end where I began — is a crisis caused by British Tory economic policy which sacrifices everything to the profit motive, including workers' jobs, except of course for Sir John Cuckney who has three other jobs to go to when he has finished this company off.
Vore amerikanske venner har gentagne gange under streget, at de ønsker et forenet Europa, et stærkt Europa, et Europa i økonomisk udvikling, således al de kan udgøre den anden støtte i den atlantiske alliance.
Mr President, we are gambling with a part of European strategic importance which is linked, further more, to the efforts which it is intended to maintain by means of the Eureka project.
Vi ved alle. al et tag kun kan konstrueres på støtter af samme størrelse.
This is why it is necessary to use all available means to promote the European solution to the Westland affair.
Så det er nødvendigt, at vi har noget at tilbyde vore amerikanske venner når det drejer sig om at skabe disse betingelser for et stabilt og vedvarende samarbejde mellem Europa og Usa.
And this is why we call on the Commission and Council to take all useful steps in this direction, both to maintain the present level of employment and to guarantee the prospects of an industry which can also help to combat unemployment.
Jeg slutter.
I think that Mr Balfe should have been in touch with him, as I have been.
Vi må ikke lade denne mulighed gå os forbi.
Otherwise I think mystifications are bound to result.
Der findes dog også andre.
This is what I wanted to say to set the record straight, Mr Balfe.
