I næste uge vil ministre fra alle medlemmer af GATT mødes i Punta del Este i Uruguay med det formål at nå til enighed om en snarlig og resultatrig åbning af en ny runde multilaterale handelsforhandlinger.
It is a large and growing market for Com munity industrial exports, a valued partner in collaborative ventures and a source of investment in our own economies.
En ny runde er af afgørende betydning for det mål, vi har fælles med Japan, nemlig at bevare og styrke det åbne handelsystem. Men vi kan ikke se bort fra den kendsgerning, at disse enorme overskuds fortsatte eksistens fører til krav om protektionisme på begge sider af Atlanten, og at dette gør vor opgave vanskeligere.
As a key partner in the Pacific, Japan is also a nation with which the Twelve are working hard to develop the political relationship.
Vi er især bekymrede over de lang somme fremskridt inden for spiritusområdet, hvor et diskriminerende afgiftssystem for importeret spiritus

Det glæder mig at se, at hr. Moorhouse også gør meget ud af dette punkt i sin betænkning.
I am glad to see that this point features prominently in Mr Moorhouse's report as well.
Formanden. — Da tiden nu er inde til spørgetiden, skal jeg her afbryde forhandlingen. Den genoptages i morgen.
President. — As it is now time to begin Question Time, we shall interrupt the debate at this point.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er første del af spørgetiden (dok. B2-715/86).
President. — The next item is the first part of Ques­tion Time (Doc. Β 2-715/86).
Den japanske regering har under den igangværende reform af afgiftssystemet mulighed for at råde bod på dette misforhold.
The Japanese Government has an opportunity in the current reform of the tax system to remove these anomalies.
Vi har gjort det helt klart, at hvis der ikke gives passende indrømmelser på dette punkt, vil Fællesskabet handle i henhold til GATT-procedu-rerne.
We have made it very clear that failure to make an adequate response on this question will lead to the Community taking action under the procedures of the GATT.
Vi vil sammen med Kommissionen arbejde på at finde frem til andre sektorer, hvor forbedret ad gang til det japanske marked er af afgørende betydning. ning.
We shall be working with the Commis­sion to select other sectors on which improved access is essential.
Spørgsmål nr. 1 af Griffiths (H-169/86):
Question No 1, by Mr Griffiths (H-169/86):
Om : EKSF-ordninger for skabelse af arbejdspladser
Subject: ECSC schemes for job creation
Det må være en naturlig følge af disse anstrengelser og især af den højst velkomne opskrivning af yen'en, at de europæiske eksportører fordobler deres bestræbelser for at drage fordel af et stort og attraktivt mar ked. Den erfaring, som de, der har haft succes på det japanske marked, har, viser, at de investeringer, der er nødvendige for at komme ind på markedet, kan give et pænt udbytte.
The corollary of these efforts, and especially of the welcome appreciation of the yen, must be for Euro­pean exporters to redouble their efforts to take advan­tage of a large and attractive market.
Samtidig må Fællesskabet fortsat se på den japanske eksportstrategi med henblik på at opnå balance, for eksempel ved at gennemføre anti-dumpingforanstaltninger hvor GATT-bestem-melserne overtrædes.
At the same time, the Community must continue to review Japanese export practices with a view to obtaining redress, for example, by taking anti-dumping action where they are in violation of the GATT.
Chalker, formand for Rådet. — (EN) Rådet kan for sikre det ærede medlem om, at det omgående giver sin tilslutning til de ansøgninger om lån under artikel 56, stk. 2, litra a, som det får forelagt af Kommission en. Bevillingerne til sådanne foranstaltninger på EKSF-budgettet er i 1986 hævet til 65 mio ECU over for de 44 mio ECU, der blev bevilget i 1985.
Is the Council aware that legitimate applications for reconversion loans and interest rate subsidies based on jobs created under Article 56 (2) (a) of the Treaty of Paris far exceed the money set aside in the ECSC budget, and can it assure the Parlia­ment that top priority will be given to ensuring that this scheme will be able to function properly in 1986?
Japanerne har ofte forpligtet sig til at være tilbageholdende med eksport inden for følsomme sektorer.
The Japanese have given frequent commitments to moderate their exports in sensitive sectors.
Men heller ikke her var vi set disse forsikringer afspejle sig i handelstallene.
But, again, we have not seen these assurances reflected in the trade figures.
Faktisk har vi inden for de sidste måneder været vidne til en foruroligende vækst af eksporten til Fællesskabet af sådanne varer som personbiler, drejebænke og værktøjsmaskiner.
Indeed, recent months have seen a dis­turbing surge of exports into the Community of such products as passenger cars, lathes and machines tools.
Kan Rådet forsikre os om, at det vil indtage en positiv holdning, når Kommission en fremsætter forslag?
Mrs Chalker, President-in-Office of the Council. — The Council can assure the honourable Member that it gives its assent without delay to applications for
på, at artikel 56, stk. 2, litra a ikke er den eneste finansieringskilde for stålindustrien.
Chalker loans under Article 56 (2) (a) submitted to it by the Commission.
Der har været bevillingerne fra EFRU, der har været kompensation gennem socialfonden.
The appropriations for such measures in the ECSC budget were raised in 1986 to 65 m ECU compared with 44 m ECU voted for 1985.
Men de midler, som har ydet et betydningsfuldt bi­drag der, har også hjulpet andre steder i hele Fælles­skabet.
Mrs Chalker. — I understand what the honourable Member has said.
Corby er ikke det eneste sted.
The Presidency is aware of the plight of the steel community.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 2 af De Vries (H­191/86):
Mr Griffiths (S). — Does the Council consider that this is sufficient, given that in 1984 and in 1985 in the United Kingdom the scheme virtually had to stop in June so that in fact a 100% increase would be necessary to meet existing demands?
Om: Offentlige leveringskonstrakter på telekommunikations­området
Since 1973 industrial South Wales has received a total of about 1 020 m ECU or 623 million pounds worth of grants and loans from the European Community.
Er hun klar over, at de beløb, der hidtil har været afsat til løsning af dette problem, har været helt utilstrækkelige?
This has been made up of money from the ECSC, money from the Regional Fund, money from the European Investment Bank and money from the Social Fund.
Kan ministeren fortælle os, hvilke positive foranstalt­ninger hun agter at træffe i løbet af de kommende måneder og år for at sikre, at vi kommer ud af denne tragiske situation?
Can the Council assure us that it will take a positive line when the Commission brings for ward proposals?
Medlemsstaterne udviser imidlertid en påfaldende langsom­melighed med at opfylde den forpligtelse, som de har pålagt sig selv til at aflægge beretning om gennemførelsen af denne hen­stilling i deres respektive lande.
Mr Simpson (ED). — In my constituency of Nor thamptonshire I represent the steel town of Corby where, following the closure in 1979, tremendous use has been made of various European funds including coal and steel funds.
Hvilke skridt overvejer Rådet at tage for at forbedre gen­nemførelsen af denne vigtige henstilling?
Mrs Chalker. — The Council can assure the honourable Member that it is well recognized that Article 56 (2) (a) is of great importance.
Chalker. — (EN) Jeg forstår, hvad det ærede medlem har sagt.
Has the Corby success story been repeated else where?
Formandskabet er opmærksomt på stålfæl­lesskabets situation. Måske skulle jeg sige til det ære­de medlem, at det ærede medlem af det britiske par­lament, der var ansvarlig for netop det område, han lige har beskrevet, var lederen af hans parti i West­minster.
In particular, could it be that other communities, in the United Kingdom particularly, have not been as forthcoming as Corby has with suitable applications? cations?
Chalker, formand for Rådet. — (EN) I april i år blev der opnået enighed om en fælles procedure for aflæg­gelse af beretning om gennemførelsen af den henstil­ling, som det ærede medlem taler om.
(Interruption from Mr Cryer: 'Why don't you tell us about the level of unemployment there?')
Det er nok derfor andnu for tidligt at vente yderligere forslag fra Kom­missionen om aktioner for at forbedre gennemførel­sen af denne henstilling.
Since 1979 the European Coal and Steel Community has assisted with some 72 m ECU, 44 million pounds, worth of loans to firms in Corby which have helped to revitalize that town's economy.
Siden 1973 har industrien i South Wales modtaget i alt 1020 mio ECU eller 623 mio £ i tilskud og lån fra Fællesskabet. Disse penge er kommet fra EKSF, fra regionalfonden, fra Den europæiske Investeringsbank og fra socialfonden.
I have to remind him that there is literally no shortage of demand, as he has clearly pointed out. That demand is for resources of all kinds.
Det, som jeg mener, er vigtigt for os at huske på, er, at medens der næppe er nogen ende på de anmodninger, der fremsættes, må vi afba­lancere udgifterne til bistand af denne art over for alle de andre udgifter, Fællesskabet skal afholde.
The important thing is that the Community has maintained a system which is now bringing steel back to a level of profitability which will provide a longterm safeguard for those in the jobs whilst the grants are aiding those who change into new industries.
De Vries (LDR). — (NL) Antallet af tilfælde, hvor et medlem kan være tilfreds med det svar, som han får fra en minister, er sjældent stort.
However, the finance which has contributed significantly there has done the same in other places throughout the Community. Corby is not the only place.
Det vil være møde­formanden bekendt, eftersom hun selv er medlem af et parlament.
It is only in that way that we will get the results of bet ter employment figures in the future.
I henhold til direktivet fra november 1984 har med­lemsstaterne pligt til hvert halve år at aflægge beret­ning til Kommissionen om gennemførelsen.
Mr Smith (S). — While sharing the concern expressed by Mr Griffiths that the scheme should function effectively in 1986 and also sharing his concern that the amounts allocated have been totally inadequate, is the Minister aware of the plight of some of those communities which in the past have suffered from steel closures?
Men der er stadig medlemsstater, som nu i andet halvår af 1986 endnu ikke har aflagt beretning om første halvår af 1985.
Is she aware that the amounts allocated to meet that particular problem in the past was totally inadequate?
Der er altså noget, der er gået helt galt.
To give just one example, in 1979 in a steel works in my own constituency there was a massive reduction to the tune of 7 000 jobs.
Det betyder også, at jeg frygter, at den nye procedure, som
After nine years unemployment is still running at 30%.
Har denne succes for Corby gentaget sig andre ste­der?
Subject: Government orders in the telecommunications field
(Afbrydelse fra Cryer: » Hvorfor fortæller De os ikke om omfanget af arbejdsløsheden der?«)
On 12 November 1984 the Council adopted a recommendation encouraging nationl telecom-
De Vries forslag om forbedring på dette og på andre områder inden for offentlige indkøb vil få sådanne fordele at se, som det ærede medlem lige har efterlyst.
I can understand why the honourable Member wishes to chase up the Presidency in getting the results which are much needed.
Der er ingen tvivl om, at hvis vi skal konkurrere på lige fod med De forenede Stater og Japan, så må vi have et stort fælles marked for varer og tjenesteydelser.
What measures is the Council considering to improve the implementation of this important recommendation?
Desuden må vi som sagt liberalisere de offentlige indkøb.
This does represent a significant step towards the opening up ofthe market in telecommunications equipment through the use of the common European standards.
På den måde vil vi få et langt mere konkurrencedygtigt og stærkt in ternt marked.
I know that this is something in which he has been most active and interested all along.
(Bifald fra midten og højre)
A start has been made.
Chalker. — (EN) Jeg beklager, at jeg ikke kan give det ærede medlem oplysninger om første halvdel af 1985, men jeg kan forsikre ham om, at med det nye system agter formandskabet at få fat i de nødvendige rapporter.
Mrs Chalker, President-in-Office of the Council. — A common procedure for reporting on the implementation of the recommendation mentioned by the honourable Member was agreed in April of this year.
Om nødvendigt vil vi skride ind over for Kom missionen for at sikre, at dette sker.
The Commission, which is responsible for monitoring data supplied by the Member States, has asked for the first reports under this procedure to be submitted by 1 October.
Der er ingen grund til, at forpligtelsen til indberetning ikke skulle kunne opfyldes, og jeg tror, det er vigtigt, at det sker.
It would appear therefore that it is too soon to expect further proposals from the Commission for action to improve implementation of this recommendation at present.
Ellers får vi ikke de fremskridt, som jeg ikke blot anser for at være nødvendige, men som bør være meget lette at opnå.
Mr Marshall (ED). — Would the President-in-Office agree that liberalization of the Euopean telecommunications market is essential if the industry is going to compete with the industries of Japan and the United States of America?
Jeg kan forstå, hvorfor det ærede medlem ønsker at sætte fart i formandskabet for at få de resultater, som der er så stort et behov for.
Could she use her powers of per suasion to emphasize to Ministers from other coun tries the very substantial benefits which have flowed from the liberalization of the telecommunications market in her own country?
Cryer (S). — (EN) Vil rådsformanden forklare for os, hvordan åbningen af dette store indre marked kan påvirke Det forenede Kongerige, som for tiden har et handelsbalanceunderskud for industrivarer på ca. 10 milliarder UKL?
Mr De Vries (LDR). — (NL) The number of occasions when a member of a parliament can be satisfied with the answer he gets from a minister is seldom high.
Jeg tror, der er bevægelse.
It is not only in telecommunications.
I juli i år vedtog Rådet et direktiv om gensidig anerkendelse af typegodkendelser for udstyr til telekommunikationsterminaler.
We should, in fact, be proceeding with open ing up these markets in other fields as well, particularly in public procurement.
Det te er et stort skridt henimod en åbning af markedet for telekommunikationsudstyr ved anvendelse af fæl les europæiske normer.
The European Council in The Hague in June declared that public contracts are an essential feature of the internal market and that their liberalization is a precondition for the completion of that market by 1992.
Jeg ved, at dette er et område, hvor han hele tiden har været meget aktiv og interesseret.
All countries agreed to that and therefore all our convincing should now be completed.
Vi vil fremskynde sagen for at opnå de nødvendige fremskridt meget hurtigt.
I hope that, in considering current Commission proposals for improvements in this field and in others in public pro curement, we are going to see the sort of benefits that the honourable Member has just asked for.
Kan hun bruge sine overtalelsesevner til over for ministre fra andre lande at understrege de meget betydelige fordele, som liberaliseringen af telekommunikationsmarkedet har medført i hendes land?
My specific question to the President-in-Office of the Council is thus to ask if she is personally prepared to intervene with her counter parts to urge forcefully that these reports should be submitted within as short a deadline as possible, inasmuch as they are of essential importance for decision making in this area, an area that is in its turn of essential importance for the Community's competitive position in the world.
Chalker. — (EN) For det første har Det forenede Kongerige været det første til at åbne sine markeder. Det presser nu i enighed med alle sine partnere i Fæl lesskabet på, for at andre lande kan opnå de samme fordele, som vi har opnået hos os selv.
There is no doubt that if we are going to compete on equal terms with the United States and with Japan, we must have a large single market in goods and services.
Det ærede medlem ved udmærket — skønt han ofte i Westminster har stukket hovedet i busken og stadig gør det her i Europa — at det netop er i servicesektoren, at Det forenede Kongerige står meget stærkt.
We must focus the Community's research and development effort on industry-orientated pro grammes, such as ESPRIT, BRITE and RACE, and we must create opportunities for European companies to cooperate across EEC frontiers.
Jeg kan forsikre Parlamentet om, at vi ikke vil sky nogen anstrengelse for at åbne dette marked til gavn for hele Fællesskabet.
Also, as I said, we have to open up public procurement.
Som formandskab vil vi fremskynde tingene, så at dette sker til gavn for alle medlemmer af Fællesskabet.
That way we really will get a very much more competitive and thriving internal market.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 3 af Roelants du Vivier (H-244/86):
(Applause from the centre and from the right)
Vil Rådet nærmere redegøre for sin politik vedrørende de bygninger i Bruxelles, som skal bruges til fællesskabsinstitutioner, og især hvorfor den i den forbindelse ikke overvejer et byfornyelseprojekt finansieret gennem fællesskabsmidler?
Mrs Chalker. — I regret that I cannot give the Honourable Member information on the first half of 1985, but I can assure him that with the new system the Presidency intends to get the necessary reports.
Alle lande var enige om dette, og derfor bør det ikke længere være nødvendigt at overbevise nogen.
If necessary, we shall intercede with the Commission to make sure that this happens.
Nu er det et spørgsmål om at få resultater og ikke bare de beslutninger, som vi har set.
There is no reason why the reporting requirements should not be met, and I believe it important that they are.
Jeg håber, at vi i forbindelse med en overvejelse af Kommissionens aktuelle
Otherwise we will not be getting the progress that I believe is not only
Chalker, formand for Rådet. — (EN) Med hensyn til detaljerne angående Fællesskabets institutioners poli-
Mr Cryer (S). — Would the President-in-Office explain to us how the opening up of this large single
Chalker. — (EN) Jeg er klar over, at man er i gang med denne undersøgelse, og jeg er glad for at høre, at institutionerne samarbejder med den belgiske regering.
To come to the point of my question: as you know, Madam President, recent years have seen the demolition of entire neighbourhoods is Brussels to make way for offices for the European institutions.
Jeg håber, dette vil hjælpe det ærede medlem, som stillede det oprindelige spørgsmål.
As you also know, a number of regions or rather towns in the Community are organizing integrated urban renewal schemes; Naples in particular springs to mind.
Rådet forstår, at Kommissionen i øjeblikket er ved at ajourføre denne rapport.
Would she explain how this is going to be remedied by these wonderful marshmallow solutions that she keeps talking about so as to get some of the 3 Vi million people, largely put on the dole by her government, off the dole and into productive useful jobs?
Hvad angår Rådet selv, er der sluttet kontrakt med de belgiske myndigheder om opførelse af en ny rådsbygning, som skal være færdig midt i 1992.
Does not the Council think that it would be desirable to offer Community citizens an image of Europe other than that afforded by those soulless steel and concrete monstrosities that one can see during your sessions at night or on Sundays, where there is scarcely a living soul to be seen in the vicinity of your buildings?
Spørgsmålet om byfornyelse i Bruxelles henhører under de belgiske myndigheder.
Do you not, as President-in-Office of the Council, feel that something should be done here, especially as we approach 1987, which is going to be European Year of the Environment?
Ulburghs (N). — (NL) Vi konstaterer mangelen på planlægning i Europa-Parlamentets bygningskompleks i bybilledet.
Mrs Chalker. — First of all, the United Kingdom has been the first to open up its markets.
Er det rigtigt, at man har revet store værdifulde bygninger og private boliger ned, uden at de implicerede og interesserede parlamentsmedlemmer er hørt og informeret herom?
It is now press ing, with the agreement of all partners in the Com munity, for the advantages which we have gained in our own experience to be given to the other countries.
Kan Rådet ikke bede de kompetente belgiske myndigheder om at gøre noget ved den livsfarlige situation i Rue Belliard foran Europa-Parlamentets bygning?
The honourable Member is well aware — although in Westminster he frequently buried his head in the sand and continues to do so here in Europe — that it is in this very services sector that the United Kingdom is extremely strong.
Roelants du Vivier (ARC). — (FR) Det er ikke min hensigt med dette spørgsmål at blande mig i striden om den endelige placering af de europæiske institutioner. Mit spørgsmål går på noget andet.
I can assure this Parliament that we shall leave no stone unturned to open up this market for the benefit of the whole Community.
Det drejer sig om selve det indtryk af sig selv, som Fællesskabet giver Europas borgere på et af de steder, hvor det virker, nemlig i Bruxelles.
As the Presidency we shall chase up the situation so that that does occur to the benefit of all members of the Community.
Chalker. — (EN) Jeg finder det ærede medlems spørgsmål meget interessant, men jeg må sige til ham, at dette ikke er et område, som formandskabet er ansvarligt for.
President. — Question No 3, by Mr Roelants du Vivier (H-244/86):
De ved, fru formand, og det er just det, mit spørgsmål drejer sig om, at man igennem flere år har ødelagt hele kvarterer i Bruxelles for at indrette kontorer beregnet til de europæiske institutioner.
Mrs Chalker. — I would remind the Honourable Member ofthe Council declaration of 1973 which laid down guidelines for urban development projects. These guidelines apply to all cities in the Community, including Brussels.
De ved også, at der i visse af Fællesskabets regioner og byer foregår en sammenhængende byfornyelse; jeg tænker i særdeleshed på Napoli.
Now whilst I have a lot of sympathy with him in what he says about old cities and places being knocked down, it really is not a matter for the Council to define what should happen in urban renewal in Brussels.
Mener De ikke som formand for Rådet, at der er noget at udrette dér, i særdeleshed på tærsklen til 1987, det europæiske miljøår?
Subject: Buildings policy in Brussels
Chalker. — (EN) Jeg forstår godt, hvad det ærede medlem mener, men jeg må sige til ham, at jeg ikke vil lade mig provokere til at udtale mig om institutionernes placering. Det er virkelig ikke et relevant spørgsmål i denne forbindelse.
What policy is being followed as regards premises for the Community institutions in Brussels, and why is the Council not considering an urban re newal project financed by Community funds in this connection?
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Ephremidis (H247/86):

Om: Skrivelse fra 100 af Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer vedrørende de forbedrede forbindelser mellem Tyrkiet og EØF
Is the President-in-Office aware that at present the Belgian authorities are carrying out a review of the urban development situation in the whole area where the Community institutions are situated in Brussels and that the Community institutions are cooperating fully with the Belgian authorities with a view to urban re newal in that part?
