Formanden. — Kommissæren er ikke forpligtet til at svare på dette spørgsmål, for jeg tror, det ligger uden for hans konpetence at gøre det, men måske vil kommissæren gerne fremsætte en kommentar til dette.
Having said that, I call upon the Commissioner to answer clearly whether or not the reduction of the number of A 2 posts was made under pressure from the Socialist Government of Greece in order to get an A 3 post, as has already been mentioned by the Com missioner, for one of the PASOK candidates who finally did not accept the post, so that Greece is losing a post which now cannot be filled under the derogatory system.
Vor holdning til dette spørgsmål har ikke ændret sig. Jeg vil dernæst svare det ærede medlem, at Kommissionen ikke har til hensigt at foreslå, at man opgiver nogen som helst del af acquis communautaire eller udelukker et medlemsland som Irland — eftersom han nævner dette land — fra dets rettigheder og forpligtelser over for de opnåede resultater.
Mr Lagakos (S). — (GR) I would like to thank the Commissioner for his answer, which however seems vague to me, and I would like to know whether there is in fact some sort of collusion between Mr Gontikas and the Commission leading to the question and the answer given, because from what I know and from information I have received, there is still a great deal of favouritism so far as the appointments made by the Commission are concerned, and most of the Greeks — if not all — appointed to A 2 and A 3 posts are unfortunately all members of the New Democratic Party and were appointed on criteria other than merit alone.
Burke. — (EN) Jeg tror, jeg vil benytte mig af Deres meget klare angivelse af, at det ikke er mit ansvar; jeg
Mr Burke. — I have already replied in some detail to the honourable Member's question and I would point out that at A level the Greek nationality have had more than 120% success in that particular and very important grade.
Dalsager, medlem af Kommissionen. — Det var Kommissionens skøn, at mælkeproduktionen i 1982 ville stige med 2,5 % i forhold til 1981.
Mr Burke. — I can assure the honourable Member that there has been no collusion between Mr Gontikas and the Commission or indeed myself in this matter.
Lalor (DEP). — (EN) Jeg takker hr. Thorn for hans svar.
Mr Lalor (DEP). — I thank President Thorn for his reply.
Helt oprigtigt havde jeg forberedt to tillægsspørgsmål, ét i tilfælde af, at han sagde, at de var skyldbevidste, og det andet i tilfælde af, at de ikke var det.
Quite frankly I had prepared two supplementar­ies, one in the event of his saying that they were guilty and the other that they were not.
Kan hr. Thorn give mig en forsikring om, at Irland, som han omtalte i så henseende, fortsat i fuldt omfang vil drage fordel af ændringen af den europæiske fond for regionaludvikling og socialfonden, og at Kommissionen aktivt vil føre og virkeliggøre nye politikker, der tilstræber at mindske den manglende balance mellem medlemsstaterne, Irland over for Tyskland for eksempel, for så vidt angår regional støtte?
Can I have an assur­ance from President Thorn 'that Ireland, which he mentioned in this regard, will continue to benefit in a full and complete way from the revision of the Euro­pean Regional Development Fund and the Social Fund and that the Commission will actively pursue and implement new policies seeking to reduce the imbal­ances between the Member States, Ireland vis­à­vis Germany, say, in relation to regional assistance?
Castle (S). — (EN) Er det ikke en kendsgerning, at noget af dette latterlige overskud endnu en gang skal bringes ud af verden ved, at man sælger det til tredje lande til nedsatte priser, der er meget lavere end dem, den europæiske forbruger skal betale?
Will the Commission admit it has begun talks on the possibility of developing a 'two­speed' Com­munity and state at whose request such talks have been initiated and how it intends to safeguard Ire­land's position within the Community?
Thorn. — (FR) For at omskrive et lidt anderledes svar fra en af mine kolleger vil jeg denne gang besvare hr. Lalors tillægsspørgsmål med: Ja, ja, ja.
Mr Thorn, President of the Commission. — (FR) To paraphrase a slightly different answer given by one of my colleagues, my reply to this supplementary ques­tion from Mr Lalor is : yes, yes, yes ...
Pesmazoglou (NI). — (GR) Eftersom sagen er af mere generel politisk betydning, og da ideen om de to tempi har været fremsat og er kendt fra tidligere forhandlinger i Fællesskabet, er fortolkningen af, hvad Kommissionens formand sagde, klar; det vil sige, at ideen om de to tempi inden for Fællesskabet er udelukket.
Mr Thorn, President of the Commission. — (FR) Although the Commission did not moot any such idea, it is nevertheless of the opinion that it has a duty to examine — even on its own initiative — any proposal which may be favourable to the future development of the Community.
Desuden angår hr. Lalors bemærkninger ikke sagen om de to tempi. De vedrører politik, som interesserer ét land mere end et andet.
Consequently, although it has had absolutely no part in originating the idea of a two­speed Community, the Commission regards it as one among very many ideas for consideration, and it has a duty to make its voice heard.
Men det betyder ikke på nogen måde to tempi. Jeg mener, at et klart svar fra Kommissionens formands side er politisk påkrævet.
It is on this basis that we have made various comments, and in the past we have drawn attention to the dangers involved in the development of a Com­munity comprising two groups of Member States mov­ing ahead at different speeds.
Dalsager. — Fru Castle har fuldstændig ret i, at når vi sælger landbrugsprodukter, heriblandt smør, fra Fællesskabet til tredjelande, så må Fællesskabet natur ligvis sælge på samme vilkår som andre lande, der handler med dette produkt; ellers kan vi jo ikke konkurrere på tredjelandsmarkedet.
Mr Pesmazoglou (NI). — (GR) Since the matter is one of general political importance and since the meaning of the two speeds has been defined and made known from previous debates in Parliament, we can place a clear interpretation on what the President of the Commission has said, namely that there is no sense in which a two­speed Community is intended.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 20 af Castle (H-570/ 82):
President. — Question No 20, by Mrs Castle (H­570/82):
Elaine Kellett-Bowman (ED). — (EN) Er kommissæren klar over, at hvor velkomment salger af julesmør end var, var der alligevel visse begyndervanskeligheder?
Will the Commission state what increase in milk production it anticipates in the current year and where and in what way it proposes to dispose of the excess?
For eksempel havde man i Maryport i min valgkreds stor mangel på smør på grund af visse Vanskeligheder med pakningen.
Situations could nevertheless arise in which one or more Member States were unable to go all the way with the others along the Community path, or rather were unable to do so immediately and at the same pace.
Vil han tage det til sig med henblik på næste år?
In the EMS, and the United Kingdom's opting out of the exchange rate and intervention mechanism.
Vil Kommissionen opgive, hvor meget mælkeproduktionen for indeværende år formodes at stige, og hvor og hvordan den vil foreslå overskuddet afsat?
Mr Dalsager, Member of the Commission. — (DA) The Commission estimated that milk production would increase by 2­5% in 1982 in relation to 1981.
Vil han endvidere tænke på at gøre alt, hvad han kan for at tilskynde til produktion af regionale og lokale oste, der er af stor værdi og hjælper til at opbruge ethvert midlertidigt overskud, som måtte opstå fremover?
Dalsager aid to butter, by granting aid to butter and butter oil used in bakeries and ice cream factories, and also by the special sale of Christmas butter.
Vi glæder os over, at Europa-Parlamentet endnu en gang får mulighed for at støtte det vigtige arbejde omkring det interne marked med en udtalelse.
As regards skimmed milk powder the Commission, amongst other things, has introduced the sale of extra quantities to the pigmeat and poultry sectors.
Vi vil også stemme for de ændringsforslag, som er stillet af økonomi- og valutaudvalget og af hr. Moreland.
In 1982 80 000 tonnes were sold there, and 250 000 tonnes are expected to be sold there in 1983.
Dalsager. — Jeg er enig med det ærede medlem i, at vi ikke havde megen tid sidste år til at forberede dette salg af julesmør, og at det nok har medført visse tekniske vanskeligheder rundt omkring i medlemslandene. Jeg vil meget håbe, at vi — hvis vi næste år ønsker at foretage en lignende aktion — kan forberede os bedre og tidligere.
Mr Dalsager. — (DA) I agree with the honourable Member that last year we did not have much time in which to prepare this sale of Christmas butter, and that this 'fact presumably has led to certain technical difficulties in the single Member States.
Det afhænger også af andre end Kommissionen, om de beslutninger, der skal tages i så henseende, bliver taget i god tid.
It does not solely depend on the Commission if the decisions that are to be taken in this context are in fact taken in their own good time.
Hvis vi ønsker at fortsætte disse aktioner, må vi have bedre tid til de tekniske forberedelser, således at de vanskeligheder, som det ærede medlem henviser til, ikke opstår igen.
If we want to continue these actions, we must have more time for technical preparation, so that the difficulties referred to by the honourable Member, do not arise again.
Med hensyn til osteproduktionen i Fællesskabet er det sådan, at vel er den steget, men også konsumtionen af ost er steget, mere end f.eks. forbruget af frisk mælk og andre mælkeprodukter.
With regard to the cheese production in the Com­munity, the fact is that it has certainly risen. But so has the consumption of cheese, more so than for instance the consumption of fresh milk and other milk prod­ucts.
Derfor har ostefremstillingen i Fællesskabet måske haft lidt bedre vilkår end andre former for mælkeproduktion.
Therefore cheese production in the Community may have had slightly better conditions than other forms of milk production.
Men i øvrigt er det jo op til producenterne selv at vælge de produkter, som de mener der er bedst afsætning for, og som de får det bedste udbytte af.
But apart from that, it is up to the producers themselves to choose whatever prod- · ucts they presume will sell best, and which will render the highest profits.
Formanden. — Spørgetiden er afsluttet (').
President. — I declare Question Time closed.1
Blot én kritisk bemærkning til et af disse ændringsforslag, idet der dér forlanges, at forskelle i procedurerne og bestemmelserne mellem Fællesskabet og tredjelande skal reduceres til et minimum.
Mrs Castle (S). — But is it not a fact that some of this ridiculous surplus is to be disposed of once again by selling to third countries at cut prices much lower than the European consumer has to pay?
Efter store betænkeligheder har vi også besluttet at anbefale dette ændringsforslag, selv om det efter vor opfattelse kan føre til, at der kommer nye harmoniseringsproblemer ind i debatten. Måske er dette ikke tidspunktet til at belaste eller vanskeliggøre den allerede vanskelige afstemning mellem medlemsstaterne på det interne marked gennem nye harmoniseringskrav og bestemmelser, der går ud fra videre retsrammer end Fælles skabets.
Would it not be far better to avoid this nonsense by fixing the original price at a level which the consumer could afford to pay?
Skulle der være betænkeligheder med hensyn til formalia, kan jeg da berolige Kommissionen med, at der netop i vort forslag er tale om en frist på tre måneder, og at proceduren uden videre kan fort sættes, hvis der i løbet af denne periode ikke kommer nogen initiativer fra Parlamentet.
And far from the Commission proposing, as it now is, that there should be a further approximately 3·Α% increase in the intervention price of butter and skimmed milk in the coming year, should not the Commission demand a freezing of all prices in the sur­plus sectors until the surpluses have disappeared?
Marshall (ED). — (EN) Fru formand, jeg ville gerne komme med et indlæg til forretningsordenen ved rørende den rækkefølge, hvori spørgsmålene trykkes.
Mr Marshall (ED). — Madam President, I would like to raise a point of order about the order in which questions are printed.
Sekretariatet modtog bestemt ikke spørgsmål nr. 13 inden den 22. november og måske først senere.
Question No 13 was clearly received by the secretariat no earlier than 22 Novem­ber, and it may well have been received later than that.
Mit spørgsmål, der er nr. 25, indløb bestemt tidligere.
My question, which is No 25, was certainly received before then.
Jeg ville gerne vide, hvorfor mit spørgsmål er nr. 25 og ikke kommer før nr. 13.
I would like to know why my question is at No 25 and not ahead of No 13.
Ydermere har alle spørgsmål et indeksnummer, der sandsynligvis har noget at gøre med datoen for deres modtagelse.
Furthermore, all the questions have an index number, which, I suggest, probably relates to the date on which they are received.
Men alligevel har disse indeksnumre ingen forbindelse med den rækkefølge, hvori de trykkes.
Yet those index numbers do not bear any relation to the order in which they are printed.
Formanden. — Jeg skal undersøge sagen og vil give Dem svar så snart som muligt.
President. — Mr Marshall, I shall consider the matter and let you have a reply as soon as possible.
Samhandelen mellem medlemsstaterne — Omsætningsafgifter — Toldpersonale (fortsættelse)
Intra-Community trade — Turnover (continuation)
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er fort sættelse af forhandlingen om samhandelen mellem medlemsstaterne.
President. — The next item is the continuation of the joint debate on the internal market.
Jeg vil imidlertid ikke forsømme lejligheden til her som tidligere tjenestemand ved den tyske forbundstoldforvaltning lidenskabeligt at tilslutte mig det, hr. Welsh foreslår i sin betænkning.
Mrs Kellett-Bowman (ED). — Is the Commissioner aware that, welcome though the sales of Christmas butter were, there were a certain number of teething troubles?
Det er nu en gang sådan, at der på grund af den traditionelle udvikling i vore medlemsstater er opstået forskellige fordomme.
For example, Maryport in my constituency ran very short of butter because of some difficulty over the packaging.
De kan bedst modarbejdes gennem etablering af en toldforvaltning på fællesskabsplan.
Would he take this on board for next year?
Rogalla (S). — (DE) Fru formand, jeg skal forelægge den socialistiske gruppes udtalelse om betænkningerne af hr. von Wogau og hr. Welsh og generelt
Mr Rogalla (S). — (DE) Madam President, I have been asked to present the opinion of the Socialist Group on the von Wogau and Welsh reports and to
Jeg vil derfor afslutte min korte udtalelse med denne appel, og jeg håber, at Kommissionen med dens muligheder og forbindelser til medlemsstaterne ligeså lidenskabeligt arbejder for, at dette bliver til virke-
Would he further consider doing all he can to encour­age the production of regional and local farmhouse cheeses, which are of a high value and would help to use up any temporary surpluses which may in future arise?
Rogalla lighed i en overskuelig fremtid inden for en femårs tidsperiode.
Rogalla actively to ensure that this happens in the foreseeable future, within a period of five years.
Derfor vil min gruppe uden forbehold støtte forslagene i Rogallabetænkningen og dermed også Kommissionens forslag, og hvad os angår, vil vi gerne tilskynde Kommissionen til at gå endnu videre på dette punkt.
We will vote in favour of the amendments tabled by the Com mittee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and those tabled by Mr Moreland.
Turner (ED). — (EN) Fru formand, på min gruppes vegne vil jeg gerne starte med at sige, at vi støtter alle disse betænkninger.
We have one criticism to make about one of these amendments, since it calls for conflicting procedures and rules between the Community and third countries to be reduced to the minimum.
For det andet vil jeg gerne sige, at vi gratulerer kommissær Narjes med det, han har gjort.
After considerable doubt, we decided to vote for this amendment too, although in our view it could bring new harmonization problems into the debate.
Det fortræffelige ved dette enkeltdokument er, at det følger varerne fra deres rejses begyndelse til enden, og at det principielt er uændret gennem hele proceduren.
A further remark on the amendment on committee procedure which calls for the provisions to be amended in such a way that the European Parliament can also be heard during this procedure.
Beumer (PPE). — (NL) Fru formand, hvem bryder ikke sit hoved — også her i Parlamentet — med beskæftigelsesproblematikken og navnlig også med spørgsmålet om, hvad nu det specielt europæiske bidrag hertil kan være.
Mr Beumer (PPE). — (NL) Madam President, everyone is deeply concerned in this Parliament and elswhere at the problem of employment, and in particular the question of the specific European contribution that we might make.
Er det så ikke således, at et af de mest europæiske, et af de. mest konkrete, et af de mest realistiske og et af de mest frugtbare bidrag kunne være en meget mere grundig udnyttelse af et mere frit indre marked?
Is it not true that one of the most European, most practical, most feasible and most useful contributions could be much more thorough exploitation of a freer domestic market?
Når man så læser begrundelsen — også i von Wogau-betænkningen — bliver man jo forskrækket, når man ser, at 5 % af omsætningen i forbindelse med varer som overskrider grænserne, hidrører fra hindringerne, og at dette betyder omkostningsfaktorer, der beløber sig til milliarder.
When we read the explanatory statement in Mr von Wogau's report we are astonished to see that 5% of turnover in goods crossing our frontiers has to contend with bar riers; this creates huge costs.
Disse midler kan dog bruges meget bedre på et meget mere interessant marked til at sætte noget i gang til at tilskynde til investeringer.
These resources could far more usefully be employed to create a more dynamic market and encourage investment.
Derfor er det godt endnu en gang at understrege den vigtige forbindelse mellem dette truede marked, resultaterne af dette marked og nødvendigheden af at gøre noget ved beskæftigelsessituationen, og det er godt, at denne konstatering netop vandt genklang i København.
It is therefore particularly desirable to emphasize the important links between this threatened market, the inextricable links within our market and the need to take action to improve the employment situation; I am pleased to note that these observations were made in Copenhagen.
I lyset heraf glæder vi os over von Wogau, Rogalla- og Welshbetænkningerne.
Against that background we welcome the reports by Messrs von Wogau, Rogalla and Welsh.
Han er den, der er mest interesseret i, at varerne kommer helskindet frem. Før i tiden stod speditøren over for ukendte og ukontrollerbare vanskeligheder, når hans varer ankom til grænsen til det land, han eksporterede til.
If there are any doubts as to formalities, I can to some extent alleviate them by saying that our proposals in fact provide for a three-month time-limit and that the procedure can continue uninterrupted if Parliament makes no proposals during this time-limit.
Nu vil det blive anderledes. Nu vil han have ansvaret for at få sine dokumenter korrekt udfyldt fra starten, og så vil de følge varerne fra den ene ende af rejsen til den anden.
If I may be allowed to comment briefly on Mr Rogalla's report, I would point out that one of our important principles is that the processing of VAT at every stage from calculation to collection should be effected between the Member States in exactly the same way as it is within the individual Member States — as emphasised in the Rogalla report.
Jeg repræsenterer en række ret betydningsfulde havne: havnene i Felixstowe, Harwich og Ipswich.
In this connection I should like to ask three questions: can we assume that the assistance in taxation matters at present given between the Member States could be made more effective to deal with the problem raised by Mr Rogalla and also included in the proposals put forward by the Commission, namely much better pro cessing of VAT — not simply at the frontiers?
Dér opstår der ofte vanskeligheder, fordi der ankommer varer til kajerne, som importøren ikke er orienteret om i alle enkeltheder, fordi de ikke er blevet ledsaget af en af speditøren udfyldt formular, der kan løse de problemer, som importørens toldmyndigheder rejser. Det er det grundlæggende princip.
Because there can be no substitute for the harmonization of legislation we would hope that the Commission will go much furhter towards harmonization which is necessary if we are to liberalize the domestic market.
Hvis jeg må fremsætte et par randbemærkninger til Rogalla-betænkningen, vil jeg gerne sige, at det for os er et særdeles vigtigt princip, at behandlingen af momsen i alle dens faser, beregning og modregninger, egentlig bør ske mellem medlemsstaterne — det står også i Rogallabetænkningen — som i medlemsstaterne.
I must not miss this opportunity, as a former official of the German Federal Customs Administration, most strongly to support Mr Welsh's proposals in his report.
Vi mener også, at trods eksisterende forskelle i satser, som man endnu må arbejde med vil især også de tekniske resultater — jeg tænker her på elektronisk databehandling, på den støtte, der eksisterer mellem de forskellige lande — kunne bidrage dertil.
For I think that many of the duties of the customs authorities at the external borders must be assumed by a European agency and European officials if we really want to create the internal market and abandon super fluous controls, if only to counteract any do"bts as to the trustworthiness of this or that national administration.
I denne sammenhæng vil jeg gerne fremlægge endnu tre spørgsmål: Må man antage, at den skattemæssige bistand, således som den i øjeblikket eksisterer mellem de forskellige medlemsstater, også i dette tilfælde ville kunne være effektiv med henblik på yderligere at afklare det problem, hr. Rogalla kommer ind på, og som er en del af de forslag, Kommissionen også her fremsætter, nemlig en meget bedre bearbejdelse af momsen og ikke ved grænserne? Da der ikke er nogen erstatning for en harmonisering af lovgivningen, må vi også forvente, at Kommissionen vil gå videre med denne harmonisering, fordi den er nødvendig for at nå frem til en frigørelse af det indre marked.
The simple fact is that as a result of traditional developments in our Member States prejudices have arisen here and there. These can best be counteracted by building up a common customs administration.
Jeg vil også gerne have et svar på det spørgsmål, som også opkastes i Rogalla-betænkningen, nemlig: Vil det ikke også være muligt allerede nu at gøre grænserne fri, hvad angår varer, der alene er pålagt moms?
I therefore conclude my brief opinion with the above appeal and hope that the Commission, with its facili ties and contacts in the Member States, will work very
For det andet vil jeg sige følgende: jeg har set ud kastet til enhedsdokumentet, og jeg mener, at det i store træk er det, vi ønsker. Det indeholder en fælles klassifikationskode for alle produkter, og den vil antagelig løbe op i otte cifre.
I should also like an answer to the question raised in the Rogalla report: should it not be possible to do away with frontier barriers in the case of goods which are subject only to VAT?
Det er derfor meget vigtigt, at vi har denne ene fælles kode.
I should like to hear the Commission's conclusions on this point.
Fru formand, jeg ved, at der er rejst indvendinger mod disse forslag, også i Rogallabetænkningen — jeg tænker her på indvendingerne ud fra synspunktet
I know, Madam President, that certain objections have been made to these proposals; they are mentioned in the Rogalla report — I have in mind the possible objec tions of the public authorities from the angle of cash
