Det betyder, at der skal vedtages en række individuelle retsakter med mindst mulig forsinkelse.
That would be tantamount to allowing both the good and the weak elements of the industry to go under together.
Naturligvis findes der ikke nogen universal-trylleformular hertil. Liberaliseringen af markedet opnås ved at løse ét problem ad gangen.
Mr Eisma. — (NL) Mr President, my colleague Mr De Goede, who has been prevented by illness from attending this debate, has asked me to speak in his place.
Lad os få det fra hånden, hr. formand. Det var kun to små eksempler.
President. — I call the Commission.
I sin tiende rapport om konkurrencepolitikken under streger Kommissionen at den i 1980 tog skridt til at minde medlemsstaterne om deres forpligtelse til at give forudgående meddelelse om støtteforslag.
Mr President, the Member States of the European Community have committed themselves to a common policy on steel production.
Der er ikke noget der tyder på, hverken i dag eller i det der allerede er kommet fra kommissæren, at denne påmindelse er blevet respekteret.
For as long as the economy was functioning well, this amounted first and foremost to a common price policy.
I den tiende rapport henledes opmærksomheden også på den stigende anvendelse af indirekte statsstøtte.
The question of sales was not much of a problem at all at a time when the talk was always of high quality and competitive prices on the world market.
Sådanne indirekte støtteforanstaltninger er ret vanskelige at identificere, for slet ikke at tale om at udrydde.
By way of illustration, let me just remind you of the fall in the volume of trade and the problems facing the shipping industry.
Et af de store problemer, Kommis sionen står over for, er den manglende transparens i statsforetagender.
Fewer ships are being built, hence there is less demand for steel.
Et direktiv om transparensen med hensyn til de finansielle forbindelser mellem medlems staterne og offentlige foretagender har Frankrig, Italien og England for nylig indbragt for Domstolen.
Another factor here is the recession in the European car industry as a result in part of Japanese competition. Here again, the net result is less demand for steel.
De anfægter direktivets juridiske grundlag, men samtidig siger de, at de går ind for dets mål.
The same goes for the construction industry, where there is less demand for new factories and the like.
Men hvis disse medlemsstater virkelig går ind for målet, burde de standse deres juridiske tovtrækkeri og samarbejde om at finde en løsning, der sikrer den grad af transparens, der er nødvendig.
Our competitiveness on the world market has been adversely affected by the growing importance of other producers like Brazil, Japan and Australia.
Jeg troede ellers, at det var almindelig sund fornuft.
The overcapacity we now have in the European Community has meant a fall in prices and consequently massive losses, a large number of redundancies and the dismantling of surplus capacity.
Det er allerede blevet nævnt flere gange i den foregående debat.
Firstly, Mr Glinne referred in detail to the steel problem in Belgium and asked when the Commission would be taking a decision and what general line it would take.
Selvfølgelig er det helt naturligt, at de nationale regeringer i tider med lavkonjunktur retter opmærksomheden mod deres egne specielle problemer — det er fuldt ud forståeligt — og træffer foranstaltninger til at beskytte deres egne industrier og deres egen arbejdsstyrke.
Let me point out first of all, Mr President, that the Commission has had to — and wanted to — take a very careful look at the problems facing the Belgian steel industry, and that this inquiry has — because the nature of the project changed in the mean time — taken longer than is normal for exercises of this kind.
Det er en forståelig reaktion.
In the very last phase we are in now, we have become aware of new aid elements which will of course have to be taken into account in our overall assessment of the project.
Det talte hr. Seal også om for lidt siden. Til dette formål er visse former for statsstøtte, som kan hjælpe med til at gennemføre en omstrukturering, som kan yde midlertidig bistand til kriseramte industrier eller som løser miljøproblemer, ikke kun tilladelige men også ønskelige.
In reply to Mr Glinne's contention that a decision is now due from the Commission on the Belgian matter, I must say that we have not yet quite reached that stage.
På den anden side er statsstøtte, som skaber ændringer på markedet eller som forårsager unfair konkurrence, ikke acceptable under nogen omstændigheder.
This of course is another aspect which will have to be taken very carefully into account in the final decision.
Lad os et øjeblik se lidt nærmere på landbrugsproblemerne.
Clearly, it is the oldest plant which will be scrapped and this means, in the final analysis, France and Belgium.
Antallet, størrelsen og omfanget af de nye støtteforanstaltninger til landmændene — 60 % fra de nationale regeringer og 40 % fra den fælles land brugspolitik — og af de nye handelshindringer for landbrugsprodukter har i det seneste år udvist en foruroligende stigning.
It may well be, Mr President, that, to take an example, Belgian Socialists will try to place the blame for the Belgian problem on the shoulders of the European Community because the Flemish-speaking Belgians have no wish to cough up for the problems in the French-speaking part of Belgium.
De fleste af fællesskabslandene, herunder også England, har truffet visse foran staltninger "for at beskytte deres egne landbrugssektorer, og aldrig før har det været så stort et behov for at iværksætte effektive fællesskabsaktioner til bekæmpelse af den stigende protektionisme i forbindelse med den interne fællesskabshandel.
In my opinion, this should certainly not mean that completely obsolete, surplus capacity is allowed to remain at the cost of highly modern capacity in, for instance, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Netherlands.
Det er fuld stændig latterligt.
Of course, all this is bound to create enormous social problems.
Vinkrigen mellem Italien og Frankrig, fjerkrækrigen mellem Frankrig og England, krigen, hvis man vil kalde den det, mellem Nederlandene og England vedrørende energisubsidierne til drivhusgartnerierne hvad kan disse ting andet end at få medlemsstaterne til at konkurrere mod hinanden, at svække landbrugspolitikken og svække Det euro pæiske Fællesskab? Hr. formand, det er en kurs, som kun føre til katastrofe.
We take the view that what is needed here is a generous and accommodating policy comprising a reduction in working time on the same scale throughout the Community allied to an import policy again for the whole Community.
For f.eks. at omskrive kommissær Richards svar på den sidste debat om konkurrenceproblemerne, skal han ifølge referatet have sagt, at »specifikke støtteforanstaltninger som værktøj i den makroøkonomiske politik bør undgås«.
In my first contribution to this debate, I set out my first reaction to the motion for a resolution, and I do not have much to add to what I said then.
Han sagde endvidere, at der ikke var noget der tydede på, at de lindrede arbejdsløsheden eller stimulerede investeringerne, og han tilkendegav, at deres virkning på den indbyrdes tilnærmelse var negativ.
Perhaps I might just say that the code of practice on aids, which has been enforced since August, clearly spells out what categories of costs closure aid can be granted for.
I kendelsen i Philip Morris- sagen i september stadtfæstede Domstolen — hvilket kommissæren nævnte tidligere i dag — Kommissionens fortolkning af trak taten.
My first impression is that the proposal put forward by the EPP Group contains some elements which are compatible with the code, but others which do not meet the requisite conditions.
Domstolen godtgjorde specielt, at hvis støtte ydet af staten styrker en virksomheds position i sammenligning med andre virksomheder, som den konkurrerer med i Fællesskabets indre handel, så kan sidstnævnte siges at være berørt af støtten. Hr. formand, når vi går ud fra denne situation, ville det
Another debatable point is the desirability of having, as the result of this plan, and over a certain period — I do not know precisely for how long — a sort of to-and-fro of quotas, production quotas or trade in production quotas at a time when we should of course be trying to get away, in structural terms,
mest alvorlig, og det siger jeg med al respekt for kommissæren, er den kendsgerning, at Kommissionen også lader til at mangle den politiske vilje, i den udstrækning at dens egne interne organisation er dårlig egnet til at gøre noget ved situationen.
The Commission is indeed keeping a close watch on this aspect and wherever proposals are put to the Commission for financial aid — and that is now the case with a large number of firms and will probably include a lot more before very long — the fundamental condition to be met before aid can be granted is always that existing capacity should be dismantled rather than new capacity installed.
Hvorfor behandles spørgsmål om konkurrence inden for land bruget internt i GD VI i stedet for i GD IV?
That is set out quite clearly in the code issued in August; restructuring must incorporate the dismantling of existing capacity.
Hvorfor refererer lederen af den enhed, der har med nationale støtteordninger at gøre, kun til generaldirektøren i stedet for, som det er sædvane, via en vicegeneraldirektør af en anden nationalitet?
Finally, Mr President, I should like to reply to Mr Eisma, who came to the conclusion that our policy should not be such that we would, in the final analysis, be saddled with an uncompetitive European steel industry.
Jeg behøver ikke minde hverken Rådet eller Kommissionen om deres pligter.
The motion for a resolution will be put to the vote at the next voting time.1
Hr. formand, lad os prøve at være mere årvågne med hensyn til at sikre, at dette spørgsmål prioriteres, som det fortjener.
President. — The next item is the joint debate on five oral questions on competition policy:
(Bifald)
1-529/81) and the Council (Doc.
FORSÆDE: MARCEL VANDEWIELE Næstformand
Subject: Competition non-tariff barriers
Formanden. — Jeg kan forsikre Sir James om min støtte, når det udvidede præsidium skal til at træffe beslutning om at gennemføre en forhandling om dette vigtige emne.
In the light of the fact that 'old barriers in the internal market of the Community have survived for too long, and new barriers have been created'2 what measures will the Commission (Council) undertake:
Jeg vil gerne anmode Kommissionen om øjeblikkeligt at lave en fortegnelse over alle de hindringer, der forstyrrer enheden på det interne landbrugsmarked.
I should now like to move on to deal with the ques tions put to me by Mr Abens on the situation facing the Luxembourg steel industry.
Hvis Kommissionen har brug for politisk støtte, er jeg sikker på, at vi her i Parlamentet vil gøre alt, hvad der står i vor magt for at støtte dette initiativ.
First of all, there are two points I would like to make in reply to his ques tion why the Commission was now having doubts when it had no such doubts in the past.
Jeg vil også indtrængende anmode medlemsstaterne om at give Domstolen større myndighed og beføjelser.
For one thing, we are now talking about aid, which means that we must view the problems against the background of the norms applying to aid, and for another, the fact is that the situation in the steel industry has deteriorated rather than improved.
Domstolen burde råde over tilstrækkelige midler til at straffe de medlemsstater, som vælger at se stort på Domstolens kendelser.
At a given moment, then, we are bound to ask whether decisions which have in the past given no cause for complaint should now do so in the changed circumstances.
Jeg tror, at det er absolut nødvendigt, at vi har den, og vi må overbevise vore borgere om, at den er nødvendig.
The Commission does not believe that they should be the subject of discussion.
Hidtil har Fællesskabet i den offentlige mening stået som symbol på frihed, samt på social og endog økonomisk fremgang.
to speed up progress in realizing a complete common market for the free movement of services, especially in the banking and insurance sectors,
Hr. formand, hvilke fremskridt er der sket inden for dette område, hvis der overhovedet er sket nogen fremskridt? Kan Kommissionen give et kategorisk svar på dette?
Motions for resolutions on the same subject: see minutes.
Jeg er klar over, hvilke vanskeligheder Kommissionen står over for for øjeblikket i forbindelse med gennem førelsen af Fællesskabets lovgivning, når den stilles over for manglende samarbejdsvilje fra medlemsstaternes side.
I think that is an important point, and I also believe that, in this respect, important work is being done in Luxembourg in the form of cooperation with other steelmaking companies.
Men på den anden side har Kommis
As I said, the Commission thinks this is a very good thing.
De påtænkte nationaliseringsforanstaltninger sker helt afgjort på et grundlag, der savner fortilfælde i Fælles skabet.
As I also said in my introduction, the Commission itself intends to take steps to foster cooperative efforts in this field.
Cousté ledes de offentlige virksomheder i dette tilfælde ville reagere — og dengang jeg udarbejdede min betænkning om konkurrence, understregede jeg dette.
— oral question (Doc. 1-480/81/rev.), tabled by Mr de Ferranti and others to the Council: to prevent non-tariff and administrative barriers, especially in the field of standards and technical specifications, from eroding the common market, and to speed up the harmonization of laws in this field,
Der findes derfor også et direktiv fra Kommissionen af 25. juni 1980 om gennemskueligheden af de finansielle forbindelser mellem medlemsstaterne og de offentlige virksomheder.
Subject: The lack of a Community type approval test procedure as the obstacle to Council agreement on 20 directives removing technical barriers to trade
Jeg ved naturligvis, at visse stater netop kritiserer dette krav om gennemskuelighed i forvaltningen af de offentlige virksomheder, og at de endog har indbragt sagen for Domstolen i Luxembourg.
Member States are increasingly resorting to non-tariff protection to the point where manufacturers' organizations say that they would rather go back to tariffs.
Vi ved det, men det er ikke desto mindre nødvendigt, at Kommis sionen svarer os, om den ikke er af den opfattelse, at denne gennemskuelighed af de offentlige virksom heder bør gøre det muligt at skelne klart mellem statens rolle som statsmagt og dens rolle som aktionær.
to ensure the uniform observance throughout the common market of the Community's rules on public procurement, and to strengthen this legislation and extend its field of operation,
De nationaliseringer, der er sket siden 1945 har i det væsentlige drejet sig om offentlige serviceorganer og monopoler.
In view of this, would the Council now agree that it is urgently necessary to establish a Community method of testing and giving type approval to products imported into the Community from third countries?
Da initiativet er kvantitativt og kvalitativt nyt, melder spørgsmålet sig, orn ikke disse sorte industrisammenslutninger, som ved nationaliseringen kommer under statens kontrol, og som udgør en række nøgleindustrier, vil komme til at føre en politik, der ikke stemmer overens med principperne i private virksomheder.
— oral question (Doc. 1-482/81), tabled by Mr von Wogau and others to the Council: to ensure that, while the freedom of the Member States to determine the structures of ownership and control in the national economies must be respected, their decisions in this sphere do not give rise to distortions of competition in the common market by impairments of transparency, protective devices, and hidden subsidies?
Vi står over for et hidtil ukendt fænomen af et betydeligt omfang, og det bør derfor ikke overraske nogen, at dette spørgsmål bliver rejst i europæisk sammenhæng. Jeg vil gå så langt som til at sige, at det ville være overraskende, hvis dette ikke var tilfældet.
What plans has the Council for giving practical effect to the statement of political intention by the Heads of State or Government to push ahead with the complete integration of the internal market?
Den brede offentlighed ved utvivlsomt ikke, om det er artikel 222, artikel 3f) eller 86, artikel 7, artikel 37 i traktaten eller endog bestemmelserne i artikel 101 eller 102, som er gældende.
Now that the Heads of State or Government have given the go-ahead to the Council, which of the Commission's many specific proposals for completing the integration of the internal market long pending before the Council stand the greatest chance of being adopted?
Offentligheden har ingen juridisk baggrund.
I call Sir James Scott-Hopkins.
Hvad vi derimod ved, er, at alle disse artikler står ved magt, og at konkurrencereglerne skal overholdes, hvad enten det sker i henhold til artikel 85, 86 eller til artikel 37 om monopoler.
The future of the European Community is being jeopardized by the French Government's decision to nation alize 11 major sectors of the economy, including certain key sectors such as the iron and steel, aeronautics and chemical industries, to place banks and credit institutions under State control, and to implement these measures in such a way as to ensure that they remain irreversible, since these measures threaten to infringe the rules on competition embodied in Articles 85-94 of the EEC Treaty.
Det fremgår faktisk af Romtraktatens bestemmelser, at en medlemsstat har pligt til at høre Kommissionen, når det kan befrygtes, at indførelse eller ændring af administrativt eller ved lov fastsatte bestemmelser kan bringe uorden i konkurrencevilkårene på det fælles marked og derved afstedkomme en forvridning.
Moreover, given the likelihood of increasing State aid of a budgetary or para-budgetary nature arising from the extension of the nationalized sector and favouring certain undertakings or types of production, the problem of the compatibility of such aid with Community rules will become increasingly acute.
Det fremgår af denne tekst, at denne høring skal finde sted forud for vedtagelsen af de pågældende bestemmelser; je ville gerne vide, om Kommissionen har behandlet en anmodning fra den franske regering i henhold til bestemmelserne i artikel 102.
Sir James Scott-Hopkins. — Mr President, this is a strange debate in some ways, because the first half of the original speech made by Commissioner Andriessen really dealt with the matters which are being debated under my oral questions with debate.
Det er et meget vigtigt spørgsmål, fordi vi i dag taler om Frankrig, men senere kan vi komme til at skulle tale om en anden nuværende medlemsstat eller om en ny medlemsstat på grund af udvidelsespolitikken.
So we have had a part-answer already from the Commission and presumably they will answer the rest of this debate at a later stage.
Det, man kan fastholde, og det, der er af grundlæg gende betydning, er, at for så vidt angår varers og tjenesteydelsers frie bevægelighed — og på det punkt mener jeg ikke, at Kommissionen kan forholde sig passiv — er det i henhold til Romtraktaten forbudt at forhindre varers, tjenesteydelsers, kapitalers og menneskers bevægelighed.
Does the Commission take the view that these measures run counter to the provisions of the EEC Treaty, in particular Articles 86 (c), 90 and 92?
Dette forbud udgør endog et af de grundlæggende principper, der udtrykkes i traktatens første del.
Does the Commission not consider also that these measures —- in particular, State control of banks and credit institutions — obstruct the free move ment of capital provided for in Article 70 of the EEC Treaty?
Det, der foregår i Frankrig i dag, men som senere kan komme til at ske i et andet land, vil medføre begrænsninger af disse principper, ja endog en indskrænkning af den økonomiske og sociale virke lighed, vi lever i.
In its communication to the Council in June of this year the Commission stated that the old barriers to the internal markets of the Community have survived too long and that new barriers have been created.
Fællesskabsforpligtelserne ville således ikke blive opfyldt, og vil man da ikke kunne tage bestemmelserne i traktatens artikel 169 og 170 i anvendelse?
Everybody in this Chamber knows that this is the case. If we were to sit back and accept the situation we might as well tear up the Treaties and retreat behind our various respective frontiers.
Jeg ved, at dette kun kan iværksættes af Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne og ikke af enkelt personer, men spørgsmålet trænger sig på.
The fact that this debate is taking place, however, means that we are not prepared as a House to accept that situation, and that as a Parliament we intend to do everything possible to reverse this bad trend.
Kære kolleger, spørgsmålet trænger sig især på, idet Kommissionen i medfør af artikel 90, særlig stk. 3, der mere specielt omhandler de offentlige virksom heder, hele tiden har været interesseret i at vide, hvor
Does the Commission not consider that this nation alization policy, which will lead to distortion of competition with undertakings in other Community Member States, runs counter to the Community's economic policy objectives, especially that of internal market unity, and that it is a retrogressive measure, seen in the light of endeavours to date, in particular regarding convergence between under takings?
I international privatret, i vore lande med markedsøkonomi, anerkendes rent faktisk det enkelte lands ret til suverænt at kunne gøre, hvad det vil med de virksom heder, der befinder sig på dets område, men staten har ingen kompetence til at nationalisere formuer og ejendom, der befinder sig uden for landets grænser.
Does the Commission not deem it necessary and appropriate to remind the French Government of its obligation to honour its international commitments and of the need to take due account of the interests of the Community?
Vi befinder os i en europæisk sammenhæng og disse virksomheder, der risikerer at blive nationaliseret, har betydelige interesser placeret i andre af Fællesskabets medlemsstater.
The Community has made progress in certain areas particularly in the field of political cooperation.
Cousté juridisk og endog politisk art og til syvende og sidst rokke ved den europæiske grundvold.
Scott-Hopkins itely guilty in this respect. But I hope that by the end of today's debate, honourable Members will leave this Chamber and reflect seriously on the future direction and priority of our work.
Hvad angår lånevirksomheden, er der en del, der stadig mener at den franske stat ved at fjerne så at sige alle private pengeinstitutter, de uafhængige banker, kan skabe betingelser for en permanent og afgørende indgriben i virksomhedernes eksistens fra det offentliges side. Denne indgriben vil være et angreb på den »ikke fordrejede« konkurrenceordning, der er fastsat i artikel 3 f).
times of recession national governments will turn their attention to their own specific problems — that is completely understandable — and take measures to protect their own industries and their workforce.
de Ferranti. — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg tror, at alle vi, der har deltaget i dette arbejde, som ofte kan være meget detaljeret, er blevet virkeligt opmuntret i de seneste måneder, først og fremmest af hr. Narjes' svar på den udfordring, han står ansigt til ansigt med: det er et krævende job, ikke blot at forstå, men at sikre, at kollegerne forstår ens synspunkter.
The detailed topic of competition policy is the subject of a separate debate, and this should be one of the most important debates of our parliamentary year. May I remind you, Mr President, and the House, that the debate on the Ninth Report on competition policy was taken at ten minutes to two o'clock, on Friday, 10 April this year.
Vi står også i gæld til det britiske formandskab, hos hvilket vi har mødt en forståelse for problemet og en beslutsomhed på at gøre fremskridt, og det har opmuntret os alle.
A ten-minute debate on the last day of a partsession in the same month that the Tenth Report was due to be published.
