På hr. Lubbers' initiativ lagde vi, eller rettere Det europæiske Råd, vægt på langtidsledigheden.
In this connection, there was a discussion on unemployment, as mentioned by Mr Lubbers.
Delors holdsvis beskeden i forhold til vore økonomiers kommende behov.
In addition, we had the godsend of the very substantial combined falls in oil prices and the dollar's exchange rate.
Med hensyn til udenrigsefterspørgselen er den ikke strålende.
In the case of demand from companies, the propensity to invest remains low in relation to our economies' future needs.
For det første fordi væksten i den internationale samhandel er utilstrækkelig, og dernæst fordi Japan med iver kaster sig over de europæiske markeder, fordi dette land ikke længe re i De forenede Stater kan finde tilstrækkelig tiltrækkende konkurrenceområder.
Demand from abroad is not brilliant, first because there is not enough growth in international trade and secondly because the Japanese are attacking European markets in force once again because they can no longer find opportunities in the United States which are sufficiently attractive to them in competitive terms.
Langtidsledigheden er et overordentlig alvorligt pro blem.
Longterm unemployment is a problem of exceptional gravity.
Jeg vil gerne påpege, at de langtidslediges andel af samtlige arbejdsløse i tiden fra 1980 til 1984, alt efter medlemsstaterne, er steget fra 17 til 46% i 1980 og fra 27 til 59% i 1984.
I would remind you that, between 1980 and 1984, the proportion of longterm unemployed among the jobless rose, with variations from one Member State to another, from between 17% and 46% in 1980 to between 27% and 59% in 1984.
I sandhedens interesse skal jeg tilføje, at der er et enkelt land, der unddrager sig disse imponerende tal, nemlig Danmark, der kun har 6% langtidsledige.
I have to be honest and add that there is one country where such daunting figures are not found: this is Denmark, where the pro portion of longterm unemployment is only 6%.
Langtidsledigheden er en forfærdelig plage for vore samfund. Den forøger ulighederne, vedligeholder de kumulative fattigdoms- og marginalitetsfænomener, mindsker arbejdstagernes beskæftigelseschancer og er meget dyr for socialsikringen som følge af førtidspensionering eller invalidepensionering, som benyttes for at formindske antallet af disse arbejdsløse.
In the light of these circumstances, I restated and obtained the European Council's agreement on the advantages to be derived from the cooperative strategy for growth — which your relevant committee has of course studied — based on each country using its room for manoeuvre to try to do better in terms of growth and reducing unemployment.
Under disse omstandigheder følte jeg mig foranlediget til at påpege — og Det europæiske Råd tog tanken op — fordelen ved en samlet vækststrategi — som Parlamentets kompetente udvalg for øvrigt har undersøgt — der går ud på for hvert enkelt lands vedkommende at udnytte dets spillerum for at prøve på at gøre det bedre, hvad angår vækst og bekæmpelse af arbejdsløsheden.
Longterm unemployment is a cancer oppressing our societies. It accentuates inequalities, it generates cumulative poverty and marginality, it undermines workers' 'employability', and it is placing a very heavy burden on social security systems through early retire ments or the invalidity clauses that are being brought into play in order to bring down the numbers of unemployed in this category.
Det europæiske Råd opfordrede finansministrene til at beskæftige sig med sagen.
The European Council invited the Finance Ministers to take this matter up.
De drøftede den i går, og jeg må beklageligvis meddele Dem, at de stod fast på deres holdninger: »hver især gør, hvad han vil, det skal De ikke beskæftige Dem med, og for øvrigt har vi intet spillerum.«
They discussed it yesterday and I have to tell you that they unfortunately did not move, their attitude being that 'we are each of us doing as we choose, this is not something for you to concern yourself with, and besides we have no room for manoeuvre'.
Under dette Råd havde jeg lejlighed til udtømmende at redegøre for medlemsstaternes foranstaltninger, og jeg stillede tre forslag.
During this meeting of the European Council, I was able to give a complete run-down of measures taken by Member States, and made three suggestions.
For det første at Kommission en spreder information om vellykkede foranstaltning er til arbejdsløshedens bekæmpelse; for det andet at socialfonden blandt sine prioriteringer medtager finansiering af nyskabelser på dette område, og for det tredje at man i egne med gamle industritraditioner, som tvinges til pinefulde omstillingsprocesser, og hvor der er mange langtidsledige, på fællesskabsplan gennemfører integrerede industrielle omstillingsprogrammer, der giver mulighed for bekæmpelse af lang tidsledigheden.
The first was that the Commission could disseminate information on successful schemes to combat unemployment, the second that funding of innovation in this field could become a priority for the Social Fund, and the third that, in areas with long industrial traditions which are having to go through the painful process of converting to alternative industries and where there are large numbers of longterm unemployed, inte grated industrial redevelopment programmes could be set up at Community level, and this could help to com bat longterm unemployment.
Jeg regner med, at vi kommer til at tage diskussionen op igen i december i lyset af den økonomiske situations udvikling, for der er intet, der siger, at den ikke forbedres i løbet af det kommende halvår.
I think that we are going to have to resume this discussion next December in the light of developments in the economic situation, since there is no reason why it should not improve over the coming six months.
Man skal blot være klar over, at Fællesskabets gode resolutioner på dette såvel som på andre områder hidtil er forblevet virkningsløse.
How ever, it has to be acknowledged that, in this sphere as in others, the Community's good resolutions of the past have come to nothing.
Konvergens er og bliver kun et ord, for når der foreligger en konkret mulighed for, at den kan blive til noget — og ikke kun som led i sparebestræbelserne — vil landene ikke samarbejde indbyrdes.
Convergence remains no more than a word, because when there is a means of giving it positive effect — not only through austerity policies — the countries refuse to cooperate among themselves.
Det må vi beklageligvis konstatere.
I am afraid we have to recognize this.
Jeg håber, at disse spørgsmål bliver behandlet i løbet af andet halvår, så vi kan nå et resultat.
I hope that these matters will receive attention during the second half of the year and that we shall manage to get results.
Det var mig magtpåliggende at fortælle Dem herom, idet det i modsætning til forskellige teser viser, at socialfonden ikke udelukkende skal bruges til regioner, der er sakket agterud, men at socialfonden skal bruges i samtlige medlemsstater for at løse disses langtidsledighedsproblemer.
I wanted to tell you this because it shows that, contrary to some theories, the Social Fund should not concern itself exclusively with backward regions but should be active in tackling these problems of longterm unemployment in all Community coun tries.
Jeg bør endvidere i få ord sige, i hvor høj grad ver densøkonomiens strukturproblemer fortsat giver an ledning til bekymring, og da især to af dem.
I must also say a few words about the structural problems of the world economy, which remain disturbing, two of them in particular.
Dels gældsætningen, idet de alvorligst ramte lande endnu ikke har løst deres problemer, først og fremmest Me xico, dels faldet i olieprisen.
The first is indebtedness, where the most exposed countries, beginning with Mexico, have not solved their problems, and the second is the fall in oil prices.
Jeg så i morges, at prisen på spotmarkedet lå på omkring 10$; vi når det tids punkt, hvor vi også her løber risiko for ulemper for den internationale politik.
I saw this morning that oil was being traded at about 10 dollars a barrel on the spot market; we are getting to a stage at which this too could cause problems for international policy.
For det tredje herskede der som bekendt for nogle måneder siden en vis optimisme i medlemsstaterne med hensyn til den økonomiske situation.
I there fore hope that during the months ahead, particularly
Ud fra mit synspunkt var det, hvis vi
And with good reason, since the austerity
Deres besøg her i Europa-Parlamentet vil gøre det muligt at skabe grundlag for en dialog mellem vore institutioner, at udveksle synspunkter om en lang række emner, hvor vi har fælles interesser, og fremfor alt at gøre fremskridt i retning af det samarbejde, vi ønsker at styrke.
Your visit to the European Parliament will help to lay the foundations for an interparliamentary dialogue between our institutions, thus enabling us to exchange views on a large number of subjects in which we share a common interest and above all to advance that mutual cooperations towards which we all aspire.
Algeriet, som er knyttet til Det europæiske Fælles skab med historiske og menneskelige bånd, er efter EFs udvidelse med Spanien og Portugal rykket endnu nærmere.
Algeria, already bound to the European Community by so many historic and human links, has become even closer since the enlargement of the Community to include Spain and Portugal.
Det er vores ønske, at denne tilnærmelse konkretiseres på forskellige niveauer, og at det besøg, som De, hr. formand, og andre parlamentsmedlem mer aflægger her i Europa-Parlamentet, vil bidrage hertil.
It is our firm hope that practical steps can be taken on various levels to bring us even closer together and that your visit to the European Parliament, Mr President, and that of the honourable parliamentarians who are accompanying you may contribute to this end.
Idet vi håber, at dette første møde her i Strasbourg vil blive en succes, vil jeg gerne bede Dem, hr. for mand, overbringe vore venlige hilsener til det algeriske folk, som delegationens medlemmer her repræsenterer. terer.
I extend to you our best wishes for the success of this first meeting in Strasbourg and would ask you, Mr President, to convey our warm greetings to the people of Algeria, who are represented here by the members of your delegation.
Det europæiske Råd i Haag (fortsættelse) skal være åbenhjertige, uden tvivl den mest skuffende diskussion.
European Council in the Hague (continuation)
Den blev tilsløret af et godt communiqué, men man kan ikke påstå, at de forelagte dokumenter, og specielt ikke det af Kommissionen udarbejdede fuldstændige dokument, blev brugt som reference, selv om der bagefter blev lavet resumeer om disse punkter.
This was masked by a well-drafted communique, but it cannot be said that the documents which had been produced, notably the complete document drawn up by the Commission, were used as a refer ence, even though summaries were subsequently made on these points.
Hvorfor?
Why was this?
Fordi der med det samme opstod spændinger mellem dem, der er for atomkraften, og dem der er imod den, mellem dem der giver forrang til en international aktion fra Fællesskabets side, og dem der mener, at man vil gøre bedre i at begynde med at gennemføre Euratom-traktaten. Under disse omstændigheder var diskussionen efter min opfattelse ikke tilfredsstillende; det var udelukkende det ne derlandske formandskabs talent, der gjorde det muligt at komme frem til et communiqué, som måske sætter os i stand til at gå videre, til at gå videre i fire retninger.
Because there was immediate tension between those who are in favour of nuclear power and those who are against it, between those who give priority to international action by the Community and those who think that one would do well to begin by applying the Euratom Treaty.
Vi håber i Kommissionen, at Fællesskabet vil tale med én stemme på de kommende internationale møder; for det andet at man fuldt ud kan gen nemføre Euratom-traktatens kapitel III vedrørende beskyttelsen af alle europæeres sundhed og ikke kun de inden for atomenergien beskæftigede, at vi må bli ve i stand til at forbedre den gensidige bistand mellem Fællesskabets medlemsstater — hvilket indebærer fælles sikkerhedsforanstaltninger, gensidig information i en nødsituation og gensidig assistance i så fald — og endelig at man accepterer udbygning af Fællesskabets forskningsprogrammer.
As the Commisson, we hope that the Community will speak with a single voice in the forthcoming international meetings, secondly that there will be full application of Chapter III of the Euratom Treaty on protecting the health of all Europeans, not only of nuclear power workers, that we shall be able to strengthen mutual assistance between countries of the Community — and that entails common measures on safety, keeping one another informed in the event of a crisis, and mutual assistance in such an eventuality — and finally that agreement will be reached on strengthening the Com munity's research programmes.
Hele verden har øjnene vendt mod Fællesskabet, hvis forspring inden for den civile atomteknik man er klar over, og man venter af os, at vi i form af et egnet forsknings program kan yde vort bidrag til en fredelig og ufarlig anvendelse af atomenergien.
The whole world is looking to the Community, which is acknowledged to have a technological lead in the civil uses of nuclear power, and we are expected to make our contribution, through an appropriate research programme, to safe and peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Barón Crespo (S). — (ES) Fru formand, hr. rådsformand, hr. kommissionsformand, mine damer og her rer. Jeg tager ordet på den socialistiske gruppes vegne for at udtrykke vores holdning til resultaterne af topmødet i Haag og mere konkret den grundlæggende problematik på dette topmøde, der på den ene side var den økonomiske vækst og på den anden side det mere alvorlige og dramatiske problem i Fællesskabet, nemlig skabelsen af beskæftigelse.
Mr Barón Crespo (S). — (ES) Madam President, Mr President of the Council.
Det var, hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, de vigtigste punkter, der som sagt blev berørt meget kort, idet Det europæiske Råd kun brugte en tredjedel af sin tid på dem.
These, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, were the main points raised, and they were discussed very rapidly, I repeat, since only a third of the time was devoted to them at the European Council meeting.
Hvis vi vil finde grunde til at nære håb, må man endnu en gang ty til konklusionerne og heri se stof til en omfattende indsats i de kommende seks måneder, og det vil det britiske formandskab om lidt fortælle om.
If we are looking for grounds for hope, we must once again refer to the conclusions and see them as providing material for a great deal of work over the coming six months, about which the United Kingdom Presidency will be addressing you shortly.
Når vi siger, at sort arbejde og undergrundsøkonomi er et vigtigt problem ikke kun for de latinske lande, men også for resten af Europa, må vi være klar over, at løsningen ikke ligger i en generalisering af under grundsøkonomien og det sorte arbejde, som nogle teser synes at foreslå, når man taler om, at man må fjerne enhver form for reguleringer. Derfor tror jeg, at man må forsøge at lave en på en vis måde modsigende syntese.
What, then, have the Council of Ministers to tell us concerning the Community's problems, and more par ticularly concerning the problem of employment — a problem whose existence is acknowledged and to which a high degree of priority has been given?
For løsningen kommer ikke kun ved at fjerne sejre og fremskridt, takket være hvilke det at være arbejdsløs i størstedelen af de vesteuropæiske lande i dag ikke er så alvorligt som at være arbejdsløs i andre dele af verden.
The fact of the matter is, tragically, that the problem is not a new one: it has been with us since the oil crisis of the 70s, and there are those who would say that the solution is a long time coming.
Derfor er det vigtigt at betragte spørgsmålet ikke kun ud fra rapporterne og det fremskridt, der vil kunne opnås angående problemer som langtidsarbejdsløshed eller det interne marked, men fastholde en sammenhængende politik baseret på dialog.
However, the important thing, as I see it, is that the Community does regard the problem as one of capital importance and that the Council of Ministers, for its part, has affirmed the need to give economic policy a European dimension.
For man kan ikke gøre noget i f.eks.
However, I believe that it is wrong to regard laws and regulations in purely negative terms.
Tokio, der er forskelligt fra det, man har aftalt i Haag, og vi bør desuden være kohærente og udvikle en økonomisk politik og en arbejdsmarkedspolitik, der er konsekvent på fællesskabsplan.
For example, some would see legislation giving subsidies as being good, while others would see legislation that has helped guarantee some measure of social rights and prosperity in Europe as being bad.
Man burde kunne tale, endog på en for vore borgere mere offensiv og måske suggestiv måde, om et forslag, en plan for beskæftigelsen i hele Fællesskabet.
I believe, therefore, that we must all pursue the path of flexibility, of initiative and of new ideas, but we must not at the same time seek systematically to destroy what is already in place, because to go ahead and introduce globally something that the Commission is only just beginning to look into is not the way to build for the future.
En betragtning, der ikke er fri for mod sigelser, for det er klart, at når vi socialister f.eks. hører tale om fælles strategier, eller vi hører tale om forslag til social koordinering og dialog på fællesskabsplan, synes vi at være på den rigtige vej, for man må ikke glemme, at når man forsøger en vis økonomisk genopretning, siges det straks, at begrænsningerne ligger i den svage efterspørgsel.
It is of course true that the President of the Commission immediately afterwards went on to speak about the meeting of the Council of Finance Ministers who, displaying a degree of insubordination, have lied to their respective presidents, because it would appear that the coordinated economic-growth strategy, as things stand at the present, consists simply in saying that there is no margin for manoeuvre and that no money is available. Such declarations, coming from a Finance Minister, are no more than a form of words.
Jeg må også have lov til, fru formand, kort at henvise til problemet med det interne marked i forbindelse med denne situation, for hvis vi hævder, at vi må lave en fælles økonomisk politik, og at arbejdsløshedsproblemet er det alvorligste, når vi ta ler om det interne marked, må vi ligeledes tale om problemet om kohæsion.
When we say that moonlighting constitutes a major problem, not just for the Latin countries but for Europe as a whole, we must understand that the solution does not lie in extending the black economy, as some theorists are apparently proposing when they advocate doing away with all regulations and restrictions.
Men det er klart, at vi ikke kan lancere en række politikker, uden at de har nogen sammenhæng med de valg, vi træffer, såvel i forhold til fortidens byrder som i forhold til, hvorledes vi bruger de penge, vi disponerer over i Fællesskabet.
Because the answer is not to simply sweep away the achievements and progress thanks to which being unemployed in most Western European countries is not as catastrophic as being unemployed in other parts of the world.
De anvendes især til at fastholde en landbrugspolitik, der trænger til om gående ændringer, og samtidig til at bevare nogle fonde, som man stiller krav til i forbindelse med fremtidens behov.
It is therefore important both to look at the question from the point of view of what is expedient and from the point of view of the progress that can be made in relation to problems like longterm unemployment or the internal market, and at the same time pursue a policy of cohesion and dialogue.
Det hævdes, at man må styrke socialfonden og regionalfondene for at kunne klare forsøg med arbejdsløshedsproblemet. Men i sandhedens time vi ser det sig, at disse fonde praktisk taget — jeg tror ikke jeg overdriver — er i betalingsstandsning.
This brings us, then, to the first fundamental point: the Community has to bear in mind that this economic-growth strategy is a Community endeavour and an integral part of Community policies, and we must think in these terms not just in the context of a European Summit but also whenever the Community is represented on a world level.
Derfor er dette en af de største mangler ved topmødet i Haag.
We cannot have a situa tion where we agree one thing in Tokyo, for example, and something totally different in The Hague.
Endelig tror jeg, at der er et andet grundlæggende spørgsmål vedrørende de mål, der forener alle borgere i Fællesskabet: borgernes Europa.
We must, moreover, be consistent in our approach and develop an effective economic policy and an effective employment policy for the Community as a whole.
Det er virkelig vigtigt, at vi kommer frem til en situation, hvor et af de grundlæggende elementer, der definerer personen og borgeren, nemlig retten til arbejde, bliver til Fællesskabets største opgave.
We should try to place ourselves in a position where we can talk to our citizens confidently and positively of a project, a plan for creating employment in the Com munity.
Det er indlysende, at vi ikke så meget kontrollerer aspekterne i den internationale konjunktur, som f.eks.
I believe that there is another important aspect to the conclusions reached in The Hague.
Japans offensive rolle, den nordamerikanske situation eller den dramatiske krise, som landene i den tredje verden for øjeblikket gennemlever.
It is what we are now moving away from the idea that it is wages, in other words those who are in employment, who are to blame for the present crisis, and towards a much more objective view of the problem.
Men sandheden er, at den svage efterspørgsel også i Fællesskabet især er opstået på grund af en manglende evne hos størstedelen af borgerne, nemlig arbejderne, til at klare et vist opsving.
This view, as it happens, is not without its contradictions because, under standably, when we Socialists hear mention of coordinated strategies, of consultation with both sides of industry and of dialogue at Community level we feel we are on the right track; but then immediately people start saying that there is a limit to what can be achieved in the face of weak demand.
Og her tror jeg, at man må sætte ind, således som man forsøger at gøre ved nogle initiativer, i en kombination af forhandling og dialog. Det er modsigende at hævde, at løsningen kun ligger i fleksibilitet (i communiqueet taler man endog om, at man må bekæmpe byrden og på en vis måde de gener, der er opstået som følge af love og forordninger).
Madam President, I should also like, if I may, to refer briefly to the problem of the internal market in so far as it has a bearing on the present situation, because if we agree on the need to pursue a coordinated economic policy and that the most pressing problem is that of unemployment, then when speaking about the internal market we must also mention the problem of cohesion.
Jeg tror, at love og forordninger ikke kun skal betragtes nedsættende, F.eks. kan man anse de love for gode, der giver subventioner, og de love for dårlige, som det er lykkedes at skabe et vist niveau af sikkerhed for sociale rettigheder eller velfærdssamfundet i Europa.
This brings me to another absolutely crucial question, as I see it, and one which, curiously enough, is not mentioned at all in the explanatory statements — or at any rate has not come up in the debate on the talks at The Hague — namely, that it is important for us, and indeed it would be indicative of a positive and constructive approach, to formulate some objectives for our economic policy.
