har ingen chance for at prøve, om det er bedre end japansk whisky, for han har ikke råd til den. det var interessant at høre hr. Kilbys bemærkning om den japanske påstand om, at det lokale produkt altid er bedre.
The Japanese Prime Minister himself, Mr Nakasone, has repeatedly warned his own people that Japan must open up its domestic market to achieve a better trade balance with Europe and the rest of the world.
Ja, det er virkelig til at le ad!
But nobody takes any notice.
Hver måned kommer der japanske herrer for at besøge de forskel lige destillerier og prøve at stjæle opskriften fra os, og hvis japansk whisky er lige så god, så ville de ikke have nogen grund til at blive ved med at gøre dette en gang om måneden.
Notwithstanding Mr Nakasone's wise words, Japanese corporate planners con tinue to penetrate the markets of Europe with laser beam strategies which have destroyed up to 1 million jobs within the European Community.
Jeg tror, at det illustrerer forholdet ganske godt.
The dynasty takes care ofthat.
Men hvad mere skal vi gøre? Kommissionen skal givetvis fortsætte og yderligere intensivere sin indsats og i størst muligt omfang stimulere eksporten til Japan, så vi af den japanske regering opnår det, som vi resultatløst har forhandlet om i en rum tid.
It does not at all seem to us that the essential problem is to respond — a somewhat simplistic solution — to the inadequate or non-existent accessibility of the Japanese market by erecting barriers, as a reprisal, around our own.
I så henseende må man gøre sig klart, at vor ikke dermed kan betragtes som manet i jorden, specielt ikke når man betragter den uklarhed, der hersker i Tokio i forbindelse med hr. Maekawas meget omtalte rapport for en komité bestående af sytten vismænd, idet denne rapport la der den japanske regering ret usikker — mindre kan man vist ikke sige — med hensyn til dens videre skæbne.
It seems to us, instead, that we have seriously to examine the situation and exercise continuous, patient pressure at every opportunity, so as to highlight the harmful consequences of Japanese policy — not only for bilateral relations between Japan and the Community but also for international trade and the Japanese economy itself— and at the same time to accept the challenge that Japan's technological development offers to our industry and our economy.
Det firesidede møde i Lissabon har vist, at det ikke altid er let at opretholde sammenholdet mellem De Tolv over for De forenede Stater, Canada og i forbindelse med det, der nu optager os, Japan. Europa må ikke kom me til at stå alene i Punta del Este.
Industrial and political leaders in Japan pontificate that the Japanese people do not buy European goods and services because the local product is always super ior.
Christensen (ARC). — Fru formand, dette beslut ningsforslag er en erklæring af handelskrig mod et venligtsindet land: Japan.
Now Mr Moorhouse effectively demolishes that arrogant and spurious argument with his crystal clear analysis of the true situation.
Det lugter langt væk af gammeldagsprotektionisme, og det blander sig utilbørligt i et andet lands indre anliggender med krav om indkøb i udlandet afcivilt og militaert materiel og statstilskud til europæiske investeringer i Japan.
I would simply add that if the Japanese are so convinced of their superiority in every segment of the market, why do they bother to apply tariffs against European goods?
For slaget truer med prohibitive toldsatser med alle teknologiske produkter, også sådanne som endnu ikke er opfundet.
If you are that confident that you are that superior, you do not need tariff protection.
EFs forbrugere må ikke få prisbillige ja panske kvalitetsprodukter som videoanlæg, TV, ure, biler og motorcykler.
Why do they tax Scotch whisky at a far higher rate than their own locally produced whisky if their own product is so superior?
Dette forslag er skabt for at beskytte mere til bagestående og inkompetent europæisk industri.
This renders Japan's home market virtually impervious to import penetration.
Det er et anslag mod danske eksportinteresser, for Japan vil selvfølgelig ikke undlade at besvare krigserklæringen. gen.
You do not actually sell to Japan in strictly commercial terms, but from time to time the dynasty deigns to let you in when it is politically and commercially expedient to do so.
Ewing (RDE). — (EN) Fru formand, jeg tager ordet for at støtte det arbejde, der så omhyggeligt er udført af hr. Moorhouse, og for at komplimentere ham.
We believe that the Japanese politicans in power are aware of the seriousness of the imbalance and the need for a farreaching change in the conception and implementation of their trade and economic policy, and we think this is how we should interpret the Maekawa report and the statements made by Prime Minister Nakasone when his new government took office.
Jeg vil også gerne tilslutte mig den mundtlige forespørgsel angående det meget vigtige emne whisky.
We are, however, left with the problem of how far words are matched by deeds and, even more so, the question of the range and timing of the concrete decisions that they intend to make.
Jeg har et tungt ansvar ved at stå her på talerstolen, idet næsten al skotsk whisky i verden bliver produceret i det område, jeg repræsenterer.
Because, if Tokyo does not act quickly and with really effective measures, then what ever the Japanese are able to do or want to do to improve matters will end up by losing much of its effectiveness.
Forslaget er en belastning og omkostningsforøgelse for danske virksomheder, hvis man tænker det gen nemført — danske virksomheder som anvender ja pansk teknologi.
I do not blame the Japanese for outsmarting Europe and the rest of the world over the last 20 years, although I do take the view that they have been politically unwise not to recognize that trade has to be reciprocal and beneficial to all trading partners if it is to be long-lasting.
Forslaget er tillige en udfordring mod danske forbrugere.
We politicians, perhaps, are to blame for allowing Japan to get away with it for so long.
Danmark har ingen interesse i handelskrig mod Japan — tværtimod ønsker vi en velfungerende og ekspanderende samhandel udviklet i begge landes interesse som hidtil.
The Moorhouse report provides the Commission and the Council with the ammunition it needs to take long overdue corrective action.
Vi advarer mod dette beslutningsforslag.
That is why it is so important that we in this Parliament give it our overwhelm ing support to demonstrate our political resolve to back up the Commission when it finally moves into specific action.
Det er kendt for at holde gamle mennesker i gang ind i alderdommen.
(Applause from the benches of the European Democratic Group)
Det er kendt for at inspirere digtere. Det er et meget alvorligt spørgsmål.
In a situation such as that in which we are living today, and in which the different economic areas are increasingly interdependent, any appearance of obtaining or retaining unilateral advantages by means of tariff manoevres is illusory and dangerous.
Romualdi (DR). — (IT) Fru formand, kære kolleger, også medlemmerne af de europæiske højrepartiers gruppe, på hvis vegne jeg nu kort tager ordet, deler
Mr Galluzzi (COM). — (IT) Madam President, the criticisms that we have to make of the resolution tabled by Mr Moorhouse, which are widely echoed — as witness the number of amendments tabled — in other political groups also, concern not only the tone of the resolution or the concrete proposals contained in it but also — and above all — its general concep
Romualdi den opfattelse, at handelsforbindelerne mellem Japan og EF, som undersøges i Moorhousebetænkningen, bør ændres grundlæggende : de er for fordelagtige for Japan, som i stort omfang eksporterer sine produkter til vore lande, og for byrdefulde for den europæiske økonomi, der hvert år har et underskud på et beløb af mere end — tror jeg — 12 milliarder dollars.
Galluzzi fall into the perverse spiral of threats or — worse — protectionist reprisals which, whilst in the short term they may yield some advantage, not only do nothing to solve the problem in the long run but threaten to compromise the interests of everyone and to drive us all into a tunnel from which there is no escape.
På ofte meget snævre områder i samfundet blev der skabt stor kapacitet, der gik langt ud over de egne markedsbehov.
I have a grave responsibility as I stand before you in this House because almost all Scotch whisky in the world is produced in the area that I represent.
Der blev produceret store serier, og med hjælp fra en salgsorganisation, der blev opbygget i modtagerlandene, trængte man gennem lavprissalg den derværende konkurrence tilbage og ødelagde den ofte.
Mr Toussaint (LDR). — (FR) Madam President, before saying anything else, let me offer my warmest congratulations to our colleague Mr Moorhouse on having produced a report of such high quality.
Vi i Europa kunne ganske vist forudse denne udvikling, ja vi kunne sågar direkte iagttage mange forberedelser hertil, og alligevel indstillede vi os i Europa ikke rettidigt på det og reagerede meget ofte først bagefter.
He has shown exceptional competence in dealing with the very broad subject of relations between the Com munity and Japan. The key to the problem, as I see it, is the specific nature of the Japanese economic and social system, and the difficulties that we are experiencing with Japan are also being experienced by the Americans, for exactly the same fundamental reasons.
Nu klager vi over stigende japanske handelsoverskud; nu beklager vi, at det er meget van skeligt at få adgang til det japanske marked, fordi der dér netop hersker andre markedsstrukturer, eksisterer andre handelsystemer, findes andre forbrugsvaner.
What distinguishes the Japanese market from others is the natural tendency of people there not to buy too many foreign manufactures, preferring to buy Japanese.
Kun få europæiske forbereder grundigt salget af deres produkter på det japanske marked, men så har de til gengæld også ofte succes.
The statistics speak for themselves: imports take 24% of the market in Japan, compared with 46% in Europe and 66% in the United States.
De fleste europæiske forretningsfolk vil blot sælge og mener, at det dertil er tilstrækkeligt at besøge landet én gang og at føre nogle samtaler.
It is taxed at seven times the rate, and this means that it is really a luxury product only for expense accounts.
De forventer natur ligvis ved sådanne samtaler, at de japanske partnere under alle omstændigheder taler engelsk. Kun meget få kommer på den idé selv at lære japansk.
The ordinary person in Japan has no chance to test whether it is better than Japanese whisky because he cannot afford it.
Opbygningen af et partnerskab forudsætter imidlertid, at den ene part kommer den anden i møde.
Every month Japanese gentlemen come to visit the various distilleries trying to steal the formula from us.
Kommissionen har med den af den finansierede udannelse af unge europæiske handelsfolk leveret et godt eksempel herpå.
If Japanese whisky is just as good, there would be no reason for them to keep doing this at monthly inter vals.
Der er ikke udfoldet bestræbelser — selv om vore produkters grundlæggende karakteristika naturligvis skal bevares — for at forsøge at tilpasse dem til japanernes vaner, brug og reelle behov.
And even if you were to give away Scotch whisky free in Japan, the tax would still be £10 per bottle.
Det er ikke rigtigt, at japanerne ikke vil købe hos os.
I think that illustrates it quite well.
Det, de synes om, køber de; imidlertid vil de naturligvis ikke købe det, de ikke har brug for og ikke værdsætter; og det sam me kan vi sige om de finansielle investeringer.
At the same time, you can go into a shop and buy a bottle of Japanese whisky at £3.
Der er faktisk meget at udsætte på den japanske praksis. Hr. Moorhouse har i sin betænkning udtømmende gjort rede herfor.
This Community should deplore Japan's behaviour in the world.
I det hele taget vil jeg gerne sige, at en ordfører sjældent har sat sig så intensivt ind i alle detaljer.
I should like to say a few very brief words about two things that worry me, because I think they are essential.
Følgen var, hvilket jeg med beklagelse må konstatere, blevet et i grunden for omfattende beslutningsforslag.
First, I am worried that the Japanese may be hop ing that palliatives will be enough, that simply dismantling the most obvious barriers is all that is required; secondly, I am worried about the way in which our lack of success is put down to a failure on the part of our exporters to try hard enough.
Det første forslag, vi diskuterede i udvalget, indeholdt langt over 200 punkter.
True, it has to be acknowledged that there is more that we could do to develop exports to Japan. But what does this mean in practice?
Det foreliggende gode forslag lider efter min opgattelse stadig under, at ordføreren i forslaget har medtaget alt, hvad han ar samlet ind af viden og informationer.
Our worries on this score are clearly far from over: witness the haze of indecision in Tokyo over the much-vaunted report produced by Mr Maekawa on behalf of a committee of 17 'wise men'; to say that the Japanese Government is less than certain what to do about this report would be something of an understatement.
Denne overflod af detaljer fører til, at vi mange ste der forsøger at belære handelspartneren Japan, vil foreskrive hvad det nu skal gøre eller undlade at gøre.
A couple of brief points in conclusion. While we must redouble our efforts, we must also avoid a trade war with Japan, which we would not be sure of winning.
Jeg er bange for, at dette ikke kan være Parlamentets opgave.
At the same time, however, it worries me to see that Europe's behaviour in the trade arena is not exempt from criticism.
Seeler (S). — (DE) Fru formand, mine damer og her rer, Japans økonomiske udvikling i de sidste årtier er på mange måder fascinerende.
Mr Christensen (ARC). — (DA) Madam President, this motion for a resolution is a declaration of trade war against a friendly country: Japan.
Men dets fuldstændige afhængighed af import af energi og råstoffer tvang
It has heavy overtones of old-fashioned protectionism, and it con stitutes improper interference in another country's internal affairs, with demands for the procurement abroad of civil and military equipment and state support for European investments in Japan.
Jeg mener altså, at vi i stedet burde betragte et andet aspekt af dette problem.
The motion threatens prohibitive customs tariffs on all technological products, even ones which have not yet been invented.
Vi bør ikke altid udelukkende fiksere på det japanske marked.
EEC consumers are to be denied low-cost Japanese quality products, such as video recorders, TV sets, watches, cars and motor cycles.
Det forekommer mig lige så fornuftigt, at vi engang beskæftiger os med årsagen til den japanske eksportsucces og dermed bidrager til at styrke konkurrencen i Europa.
EEC firms are not to buy low-cost quality products in the office equipment, construction equipment, electronics, machinery and commercial vehicle sectors. This
Hvorfor kan biler, videobåndoptagere, små datamater og an det ikke produceres lige så billigt og lige så godt i Europa, som de japanske eksportører gør det?
Mr Ewing (RDE). — Madam President, I rise to support the work that has been so carefully done by Mr
Kun på den måde kan det lykkes os at nå frem til ligevægt inden for vareudveksling og handel.
motion was devised to protect more backward and incompetent European industry.
I Japan forbereder man for tiden en ny eksportoffensiv over for Europa og Amerika inden for datateknologi på det private, sociale og medicinske område.
It is a blow struck against Danish export interests because, quite clearly, Japan will not be slow to respond to such a declaration of war.
Vi er også enige i den tarifstrategi, som Kommission en har indført i forbindelse med videobåndoptagere og CD-maskiner, selv om vi også på dette punkt vil stille klart restriktive betingelser til en sådan strategi, som det fremgår af vore ændringsforslag.
The motion, if it were implemented, would place a burden on and would increase the costs of Danish firms which use Japanese technology.
Men sagen har naturligvis også en anden side.
The motion is also a threat to Danish consumers.
Vi må erkende, at Europa også har undladt at udnytte visse muligheder. Det er ikke lykkedes os endelig at komme videre med det interne marked, hvilket svækker industriens konkurrenceevne.
Denmark has no interest in a trade war with Japan — on the contrary, we want to see the development of smoothly function ing and expanding trade in both countries' interests, as has been the case till now.
Lad os ikke vente, til skibsladning efter skibsladning af disse produkter når europæiske havne. Lad os nu gennemføre en fremadskuende europæisk strukturtilpasning, således at de japanske eksportører i Europa møder hård, men fair konkurrence og ikke som hidtil har let spil med deres produkter.
Ladies and gentlemen, on the basis of these rapid observations I think I must conclude that the problem of our relations with the Japanese must be tackled energetically and with determination and, in parti cular, adopting strictly and with commitment what is proposed by subparagraph (e) of paragraph 81 of Mr Moorhouse's report.
Så er japanerne måske også mere villige til at samarbejde på deres eget marked og begriber muligvis, at handelsforbindelser i længden ikke kan være en ensrettet gade.
At the same time we should endeavour to be more intelligent commercially than we have been so far, not asking for impossibilities — such as the upvaluation of the yen, which has already appreciated very much in value in recent weeks — or the application of clauses such as the one in Article XXIII of the GATT Agreement, reference to which does not seem at all pertinent at this moment.
Normanton (ED). — (EN) Fru formand, i de to minutter, De har stillet til min rådighed, vil jeg gerne slå tre hurtige punkter helt fast.
Mr Seeler (S). — (DE) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in many respects Japan's economic development over the past decades has been fascinating to watch.
Van Rooy (PPE). - (NL) Fru formand, i de første fem måneder af i år er den japanske eksport til Euro pa steget 30% målt i mængde.
But Japan's total dependence on energy and raw materials imports forced it to adopt an aggressive export policy.
Vi kan ikke forvente, at denne stigning vil stoppe foreløbig.
The same tactic was used again and again.
Tværtimod, på grund af den japanske yens høje kurs over for dollar og på grund af det amerikanske politiske pres sker der en omlægning af den japanske eksport fra De forene de Stater til Europa.
Large capacities, far beyond its own market requirements, were created, often in very narrow sectors of the community.
Vi må derfor også regne med, at EFs handelsunderskud over for Japan, som sidste år androg ca. 12 mia dollars, i år vil stige voldsomt til omkring 20 Japan koncentrerer sig så tydeligt om handelsproblemet med De forenede Stater, at der er fare for, at landet glemmer problemet med Europa.
Goods were produced in large series, and with the help of a marketing organization built up in the recipient countries the competition there was blocked and very often des troyed by selling at cheap prices.
Også vores tålmodighed slipper op på et tidspunkt. På papiret er det japanske marked lige så åbent som det europæiske eller det amerikanske marked.
We in Europe could foresee this development, in fact we could actually observe many of the preparations for it, and yet we rarely managed to adapt to them in time and very often did not react until after the event.
På trods af syv programmer for åbning af markedet er den europæiske præsens på det japanske marked kun blevet forbedret marginalt, en situation, som naturligvis kræver en hårdere kurs over for Japan.
Only a few European firms made serious preparations for selling their prod ucts on the Japanese market, but those which did were often very successful.
GATT blev skabt af vesten for at tage sig af en situation, som herskede for mange år siden, da handelen var domineret af såkaldte frie økonomier. I dag er verden domineret af to typer af lande; dem, der har socialistiske, statskontrollerede økonomier, og de er aldeles inkompetente og ude af stand til at konkurrere i verden; og så japanerne. Rådsformanden referere de i går — og Parlamentet støttede det — til behovet for at forhandle om ændringer i GATT.
We see this, for example, in a very recent report of the Economic and Financial Council, in which the best it can do is to insist on the need to increase domestic demand in Japan, in essence advising the Japanese to change their age-old deep-rooted customs, their habits, their tastes, so as to conform in practice not only to our import needs but also to adapt themselves to the problems — sometimes difficult — that characterize the Western working world.
Efter min mening — og jeg håber, at Parlamentet er enig — er GATT helt forældet.
During such talks they naturally expect their Japanese counterparts to speak English.
Den er irrelevant og behøver en ændring.
Very few of them would even dream of learning Japanese.
Den må fuldstændig shines op, eftersom det er den eneste måde at gøre noget ved Japan-syndro met. Moorhouse-betænkningen kommer langt og vil nyde betydelig støtte i Parlamentet. Men jeg tror ikke, at den går helt langt nok.
But building up a partnership means both sides meeting halfway.
Jeg håber og beder til, at Parlamentet efter denne
It is not true that the Japanese do not want to buy from us.
Min gruppe afviser ikke en sådan kurs, selv om vi finder, at Moorhouse-beslutningen på visse punkter klart går for vidt.
There is indeed much to criticize in Japanese practice.
Vi må ikke falde for fristelsen til at indføre protektionistiske foranstaltninger. Det ville også være i strid med den nye kurs, som vi gjorde os til talsmænd for i går i forbindelse med den nye GATT-runde.
Mr Moorhouse made this extensively clear in his report.
Vi støtter tanken om at anvende de instrumenter, som GATT giver os, bedre og mere effektivt.
The result, I am sorry to say, is that the motion
Normanton debat i sin helhed vil spænde bælte og forlange en komplet omstrukturering af GATT.
Seeler improved only marginally, a situation which clearly calls for a tougher attitude towards Japan.
behøver vi — det er jeg overbevist an — ikke at være bange for den japanske udfordring.
The first draft which we discussed in committee contained well over 200 paragraphs.
De Clercq, medlem af Kommissionen. — (NL) Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, allerførst vil jeg ger ne takke hr. Moorhouse gjerteligt for hans fortræffelige betænkning og for de usædvanlig venlige ord, fremsatte on mine tjenestegrene, mine direkte medarbejdere og mig selv.
In my view, the present good draft suffers from the fact that the rapporteur has again included all the knowledge and information he obtained in this report.
Franz (PPE). — (DE) Fru formand, hr. Moorhouse har naturligvis ret, når han betegner japanernes succes i de seneste år som imponerende.
This surfeit of detail makes it look in many places as though we were trying to teach our trading partner Japan its business, to prescribe what it should or should not do now.
Men samtidig må vi ikke glemme — hvad hr. Seeler jo allerede har peget på — at japanernes succes be stemt ikke udelukkende beror på protektionistiske foranstaltninger og tilskud.
We must not yield to the temptation to resort to protectionist measures.
Efter en grundig og klar analyse af forbindelserne mellem Fællesskabet og Japan koncentreres betænk ningen helt om søgen efter løsninger på forstyrrelser ne af balancen i disse forbindelser. Vore japanske samtalepartnere vil ved læsning af denne tekst sand synligvis kunne få mere forståelse for europæernes holdning over for Japan og for nødvendigheden af at gennemføre strukturelle ændringer i deres eget land.
That would also conflict with the position which we advocated yesterday should be taken on the new GATT round.
