Det kan der naturligvis ikke være tale om.
In the Federal Republic of Germany alone, the export of textiles and clothing increased by 11% in 1985.
Multifiberarrangementet er i dag et uerstatteligt instrument til regulering af samhandelen og helt uundværdigt, hvis man vil have, at Fæl lesskabets tekstil- og beklædningsindustri skal kom me helskindet igennem den omstillingsproces, der har været i gang i en række år.
There are good points certainly in the Nordmann report: the call for simplification, the call for help for the least developed countries, the calls for decent standards for workers and the call for ERDF and Social Fund money to be spent to relieve declining textile areas.
Multifiberarrangementet har aldrig været ensbetydende med et stop for import af tekstiler i protektionismens navn, og det har heller aldrig stridt mod de liberaliseringsregler, der er fastsat inden for GATT.
They still require a certain degree of protection. We must show consideration for the huge number of jobs lost in this industrial sector, fortunately still the largest sector and the one with the largest number of jobs in Europe — something only emphasized by the accession of Spain and Portugal.
Vi bør ikke glemme, at multifiberarrangementet net op er vedtaget inden for GATT, og at det er i for ståelse med GATT, at man har forhandlet sig frem til de såkaldte rimelige afvigelser.
In other words, we support a new Multifibre Arrangement but it has to be one which clearly stimulates further liberalization, and we consider the following points particularly important.
Multifiberarrangementet er nødvendiggjort af de faktiske forhold.
A quarter of a century of so-called 'temporary' protection — hardly a record to be proudly entered in the annals of GATT.
På et tidspunkt steg tekstilimporten til Fællesskabet helt ukontrollabelt, hvilket ikke var acceptabelt, og da slet ikke i betragtning af, at forbruget var stagnerende.
However you look at it, the MFA remains a fundamental deviation from GATT rules. There are import controls which prevent an optimal role being played by the free market competition on which the EEC in based.
Kommissionen selv erkender udtrykkeligt dette, idet den i sin meddelelse til Rådet den 27. juli 1985 giver udtryk for, at en øjeblikkelig genindførelse af GATT-reglerne ville få katastrofale følger.
Firstly, we want to see a clear improvement in the export potential of the poorest developing countries, a point quite rightly brought out by Mr Christopher Jackson in his anything but clinical dissertation.
Er det nødvendigt at liberalisere multifiberarrangementet, således som Kommissionen har foreslået det?
Furthermore, we consider that the extent to which the newly industrialized countries are prepared to open their markets to EEC products should be a criterion in allocating them quotas.
Jamen viser opgørelserne over de seneste års samhandel med produkter omfattet af multifiberarrangementet da ikke, at der allerede i praksis er sket en liberalisering af multifiberarrangementet ?
In this context, I want to point out that a country such as Hong Kong, for example, which has indeed given EEC countries greater access to its markets, should see this rewarded in the quotas.
I betragtning af, at Fællesskabets tekstilindustri nok er sårbar, men dog i bedring, og i betragtning af den nylige forbedring med hensyn til Fællesskabets samhandel med tredjelande på tekstilområdet, er det nødvendigt, at de grundlæggende bestemmelser i multifeberarrangementet bibeholdes.
We welcome, however, the recognition by the European Commission and Council of Ministers, as well as several Member States, that underpinning the renewal negotiations should be a firm commitment to the pro-· gressive liberalization of trade in textiles and clothing.
Hvis man går ind for en for kraftig liberalisering af det kommende mutifiberarrangement, risikerer man at ødelægge det.
In addition, there must be considerable simplification of the new Multifibre Arrangement, as has been called for by previous speakers.
Hr. formand, kære kolleger, ingen af os nærer noget ønske om at prædike en blind protektionisme, der ret hurtigt ville gøre Fællesskabet til fange i det net, det selv havde spundet.
There were some rather startling figures put out by the European Consumers Organization. It quoted figures for the United Kingdom of consumers having to pay £4.6 billion extra in 1982 on account of the arrangements, or £230 per household.
Men vi bør ikke desto mindre vogte os for enhver form for utopisk frihandelsfanatisme.
Either way the costs are very significant, and these are figures which we cannot disregard.
Ved at videreføre multifiberarrangementet anerkender man samtidig den enorme indsats, som Fællesskabet har ydet for at omlægge en af dets indu strier, en industri, som Fællesskabet hverken kan el ler må miste.
If the Member States are really serious about creating the internal market in 1992, they can give proof of it right now by renewing the Multifibre Arrangement and by abandoning national quotas.
Skulle man da blot for ikke at bryde frihandelens hel lige lov gå så vidt som til at lukke alle tekstilfabrikker i Fællesskabet?
In our view, he has tried all along to do justice to the differ ing strands of opinion within the committee.
Og skulle man for at absorbere de store importmængder gå så vidt som til at tvinge hver enkelt europæisk forbruger til hele tiden at gå med tre skjorter og to par bukser?
We also believe that stronger reference should be made in any new MFA to respect for ILO labour standards as a precondition for supplier countries enjoying the benefits of the MFA.
Skulle man gå så vidt som til at ofre hundredtusindvis af arbejdspladser og rive det økonomiske grundlag væk under hele regioner i et kriseramt Fællesskab med usikre omstillingsmuligheder?
Finally, we believe that when the final MFA expires in 1991, as we would wish it, trade in textiles and clothing should return to normal GATT principles and should form part of discussions within any new GATT round.
Pantazi (S). — (GR) Hr. formand, fornyelsen af multifiberaftalen må, eftersom det drejer sig om handelen i en erhvervsgren af afgørende betydning for Fælles skabet samt for dets handelspartnere i udviklingslandene, føre til en global regulering af bestræbelserne, men også af problemerne, som underskrivelsen af den fører med sig.
These figures are to be seen in the report but in my view the appropriate conclusions are not drawn nor is it emphasized sufficiently that one of the reasons for the scale of the exports from the three countries I mentioned is that they have become a haven for west ern capital from the multinationals who have found there a means for escaping the attention of the trade union movements.
I kraft af multifiberarrangementet er Fællesskabet ophørt med at være et eldorado, hvor de store lav prisproducenter kunne afsætte ubegrænsede mængder, men EF er dog stadig verdens mest åbne og mest gennemtrængelige marked.
It is clear that as things now stand we have no alternative but to say yes, albeit reluctantly, to the resolution and the Commission's guidelines because we realise that the agreement must be renewed once again.
Lavprisproducenterne er stadig sikret adgang til EF-markedet, men ikke længe re ubegrænset adgang.
Nor can we say that this must be the last time since it is very probable that in five years' time we will find our selves in the same situation again.
Der er dog stadig sikret adgang uden væsentlige hindringer.
We could perhaps ask the ILO to examine the social clause not only in Uganda but in the United States as well.
Men kan forvisse sig her om ved at konstatere, at penetrationsgraden for tekstilimport i EF, der var på 45% i 1984, er to gange højere end når det gælder EFs vigtigste handelspartnere blandt de industrialiserede lande, nemlig USA og Japan.
Above all, we have no policies able to guarantee that the new production targets and greater productivity and new technologies do not involve a further increase in unemployment. It is hard to believe that free trade by itself and the spontaneous market forces can bring about acceptable solutions.
Efter at Fællesskabets import fra de lande, der er omfattet af tekstilpolitikken, i løbet af det andet multifiberarrangement havde stabiliseret sig på en årlig vækst på 3,5%, nåede importen på ny op på en vækst på 10% i 1984, hvorimod forbruget knap steg med
These figures look even worse when they are supplemented by the heavily protectionist policy pursued by the United States whose customs tarifs for the sector in question are 19% while the average European tarifs are only 11.5%. This has not only direct consequences but also indirect consequences for the Community's exports.
Det er særlig positivt, at udviklingslandene har mulighed for at eksportere multifiberprodukter til Fæl lesskabets lande permanent.
Beyond the Community frontiers appears to be a hazy area in which we know, however, that clearly-defined units are to be found: the United States as well as Burkina Faso or Taiwan.
På denne måde får de, hvis vi ser væk fra en valutaøkonomisk fordel, chancen for en industriel udvikling af en erhvervsgren, som kan være drivkraft for en generel økonomisk og social udvikling af disse lande.
If we consider this area more care fully, as we should, we can see that those who are threatening by their exports our own clothing textile industry are not the developing countries in the strict sense but only a number of countries which are still described as developing countries.
Den anden, der nyder godt af de til Fællesskabets markeder strømmende multifiberprodukter fra udviklingslandene, er de økonomisk og teknologisk højt udviklede medlemslande i EF, som indfører billige produkter og dermed sikrer
Thus, if we analyse the figures, we will see that three of the so-called developing countries, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong, account for 75% of the exports from develop ing countries by themselves, whereas for example, the
Men alt dette skal tekstilindustrien i Fællessskabet samt arbejdstagerne, områderne og landene, som er henvist til ud viklingen af denne industri, betale en meget høj pris for.
Nor should we forget that, in recent years, this industry has lost more than one million jobs. But even more important, we must recognize that, if the industry's situation is different today from that of four years ago, the Community is different too.
når det drejer sig om små eller mellemstore virksom heder inden for tekstilindustrien eller beklædningsindustrien, så går de kraftigt ind for den frie handel !
1973 to 1978 in particular, was a black period for Belgian textile and clothing workers.
Vi skal tage udgangspunkt i arbejdspladserne, og ikke i virksomhedernes størrelse.
Of the 195 000 employed in 1973 in this sector — the pride of Flanders in the Middle Ages — only 122 000 remained in 1978.
Endelig skal vi skelne mellem nyindustrialiserede- og udviklingslande. 75 til 80% af importerne fra samtlige udviklingslande kom mer fra disse nyindustrialiserede lande.
Foreign firms that had profited from tax incentives and low wages, for example those paid to the women in my province of Limburg, have deported to countries where wages were even lower — in spite of the sacrifices and modernization that had taken place.
Vi har brug for denne differentiering til at kunne give de virkelige udviklingslande adgangschancer til vore markeder.
In consequence, this number continued to fall to 100 000 in 1985 while over the next few years a further 10 000 jobs are expected to be lost.
Derfor rejser spørgsmålet sig: er det politisk og moralsk retfærdiggjort, at de økonomisk svage regioner og lande i Fællesskabet skal bære de samlede omkostninger ved støtten til en industriel udvikling af den tredje verden og til de økonomisk-politiske strategier i de industrielt udviklede lande?
The textile industry consists of approximately 2 000 companies employing 200 000 workers, representing more than 25% of total jobs in the processing industry and producing approximately 30% of total Portuguese exports.
Økonomisk dumping, men også social dumping foretages ikke af tærskellandene, men frem for alt og i stort omfang af statshandelslandene, som i stigende grad eksporterer til Det europæiske Fællesskab.
For example in my own region, Covilhã, the wool industry dating from the 18th century has been the main source of employment, with more than 70% of the industrial workforce.
Det betyder efter min opfattelse, at vi må se meget differentieret på tærskellandene og statshandelslandene.
However, in recent years, more than 25% of these jobs have been lost.
Men jeg mener, at ordføreren må acceptere de ændringsforslag som sigter mod en sikring af overlevelsesevnen og det økonomiske perspektiv i Fællesskabets tekstilindustri.
Nor can we disregard the other side of the question. But here too it is essential to realize that there are two groups of countries, those which are really less developed, and others which we may call newly industrialized countries, some of which have average per capita income levels higher than certain textile regions of the Com munity.
Brok (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger.
But their needs and characteristics are quite different today.
Jeg vil gerne takke ordføreren Nordmann.
We are firmly against liberalization of trade in children's clothing, and we feel that the con trol mechanisms should be improved in order to avoid abusive trade practices.
Han har. på sit udvalgs vegne forelagt en betænkning, som ganske vist ikke fra ord til andet kan få min tilslutning, men som, mener jeg, på mange områder er et afbalanceret dokument.
We also feel that the poorer countries should be given special consideration, while bearing in mind that the Community also has a responsibility towards its own workers living in less adv anced regions.
Men vi må også se, at Det europæiske Fællesskab på tekstilområdet ikke er et lukket marked.
Everyone knows what serious economic problems Portugal has been facing.
Vi har — tror jeg — af alle industrilande det mest åbne mar ked.
Conversely, any imbalance in this sector would have immediate negative consequences and incalculable effects which must at all costs be avoided.
45 % af vort tekstilforbrug importeres.
Debates of the European Parliament
Her kun ne, tror jeg, amerikanere og japanere lære noget!
Gomes market, jeopardizing the very existence of the Com munity's own textile industry.
Uden en multilateral aftale vil presset netop fra tærskellandene og statshandelslandene på markedet i Det europæiske Fællesskabs tolv medlemsstater tage til, og dette pres vil vi efter min mening ikke kunne modstå.
The renewal of the Multifibre Agreement on the basis of MFA III, without any increase in liberalization, is the least which can be done for this country, which is still taking its first tentative steps as a member of a Community to which we are committed and in which we sincerely believe.
Vi skal tage social dumping praksissen op.
The renewal of the Multifibre Agreement will not in itself be a sufficient solution to the problems of Portugal's textile sector.
Vi må se, at arbejdsomkostningerne netop i de nyindustrialiserede lande kun udgør 9-20 % af arbejdsomkostnigneme i Det europæiske Fællesskab.
Portugal does not wish to increase its dependence on the textile industry, but it needs a transitional period to restructure its industry, to prepare it properly for the challenge of modernization and to face up to a future of greater economic and social progress.
Både inden for og uden for Fællesskabet generer kon kurrenceforvridende subventioner en virkelig fornuftig omstrukturering af den europæiske tekstilindustri og genrejsningen af dens konkurrencedygtighed.
Mr Chanterie (PPE). — (NL) In introducing his report, on which I feel congratulations are due, the rapporteur stressed past experience and present realities; two factors that do indeed have to be taken into account when discussing the renewal of the Multifibre Arrangement.
Vores mål er en fri handel, også på tekstilsektoren, men en fri handel kan kun eksistere, når der findes fair og lige betingelser for alle.
This 'concern' is only one-way, for in recent months the United States has placed unilateral restrictions on exports of Portuguese textiles, which were all the more inadmissible because Portugal is undoubtedly, a Member State which, in this capacity at least, needs to have its inter ests defended.
Welsh (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, vi har så sandelig hørt alle afskygninger af protektionisternes særlige interesser her i aften.
In the light of these figures, Mr de Clerq, should these interests not be given the greatest priority?
Vi retter nu til Kommission og Råd en appel om at orientere sig i denne retning ved nyforhandlingen af verdenstekstilaftalen.
There is great insecurity in the textiles sector and in textile-producing. A great many questions are also being raised.
Men jeg er af den opfattelse, at en sådan nyforhandling naturligvis skal have til for mål at nå frem til et tidsbestemt resultat, selvom vi i dag naturligvis ikke kan beslutte, at det er sidste gang, for vi må jo til syvende og sidst gå ud fra omstruktureringens status quo for så om fire eller fem år at kunne træffe den rigtige afgørelse.
I therefore ask the Commissioner to con firm now, to the Parliament but also to the workers in the textiles industry, that the European Commission will regard employment as the key issue in negotiations. tions.
Det er ganske vist mere end i automobilindustrien, i skibsværftsindustrien og i stålindustrien tilsammen, men der tales relativt lidt om det, for tekstilindustrien består hovedsagelig af små og mellemstore virksom heder.
And there are other reasons why Portugal is opposed to any liberalization towards third countries under the MFA for it had to put up with restrictions on its textile exports within the Community even in the post-accession period.
Der findes nemlig ingen store bosser med til svarende lobbyer.
That is why it is impossible to allow any opening-up at this phase, even for children's clothing.
Mange, som her giver sig ud for at være store frihandelsfolk, er meget eftergivende, når visse store virksomheder kommer og forlanger subventioner, men
Failure to renew it would be tantamount to giving third countries an increasing slice of the internal
Tidligere forelagde dr. Seal en udtalelse fra udvalget om økonomi, valutaspørgsmål og industripolitik, og naturligvis accepterer jeg hans forsikring om at han omhyggeligt har gengivet sit udvalgs synspunkter.
I would like to point out that developing countries and those where trade is a government monopoly provided 71% of textile and clothing imports to the European Community in 1982 and 25% of other finished and semi-finished products.
Jeg håber imidlertid, at hans kolleger, som i min tid i det
In the past 12 years, however, there has been a growth of 7.5% and recently this has even topped 10%.
Hr. formand, jeg var meget bedrøvet over at høre min Lancashirekollega hr. Michael Hindleys indlæg. Hr. Hindley burde vide, at en rapport fra Lancashire County Council Planning Department afgørende har påvist, at Lancashires beklædningsindustri er i ud mærket stand og konkurrerer godt på verdensmarkederne.
efficiently and effectively on the world market without the need for protective measures.
Han gør ikke Lancashires arbejdstagere en tjeneste ved her at foregive, at de har noget af frygte af rimelig og fri konkurrence.
In steering a similar middle course, the Nordmann report inevitably leaves itself open to criticism in detail. But its broad thrust in basically right and, I believe, fair.
Lad os dog for alt i verden begynde at afvikle det ! Hvad har dette arrangement bevirket ?
The falling value of the dollar is creating a completely new situation in world trade.
Hvad det ikke har bevirket, er, at det ikke har forhindret tabet af over 1 mio arbejdspladser i eurpæisk tekstilindustri.
What we are therefore recommending is greater flexibility in the case of genuine developing nations who, incidentially, have requested a renewal of the Multifibre Arrangement to prevent their total exclusion from the world market.
Det har imidlertid aktivt hindret en tilpasning af Fællesskabets tekstil- og beklædningsindustrier.
On the other hand, there should be considerable suspicion and care in handling the newly industrialized countries and these negotiations must be on the basis of reciprocity.
Det har fanget de europæiske takstilarbejdere, så de befinder sig nederst i systemet for så vidt angår løn og arbejdsvilkår. Det har sinket udviklingslandenes in dustrialisering.
In 1973, half of imported clothing came from the so-called developing countries such as Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan.
Det har grebet ind i den økonomiske vækst med henblik på verdenshandelens frie bevæge lighed.
Such figures give us cause for reflection and should prod us into including an appropriate clause in the Multifibre Arrangement.
Det har stækket Fællesskabets forhandlinger med dets handelspartnere, og sidst, men ikke mindst, har det rent faktisk øget forbrugerprisen på et nødvendigt forbrugsgode !
However, the problems become even greater when we take account of the fact that the new Arrangement comes at a time when the United States is overprotecting its internal market, so that the Community seems to be the only economically developed area to main tain some elementary principles of free trade.
DET er, hvad dr. Barry Seal for Parlamentets udvalg om økonomi, valutaspørgsmål og industripolitik har anbefalet over for os i aften ! Javel, javel !
We consider that the Commission's task will be made considerably easier if it is accompanied by the propo sals in the Nordmann report.
Hr. Hindley bør huske på, et det var Lancashires tekstilarbejdere, som i trediverne nægtede at tage skridt, som på nogen måde kunne hæmme udviklingen af den nye tekstilindustri i Indien.
What will be the future attitude of China and what changes can we expect there? The Commissioner can hardly object to my requesting that particular attention be paid to the restructuring of industry in our textile-producing regions.
De gav også hr. Ghandi en hjertelig velkomst, da han besøgte dem.
In my area, half of all industrial jobs are in the textile sector and I can assure you that, as a Member of Parliament, I must also consider these interests and I hope the Commissioner will do the same.
Hr. Hindley har ikke talt for Lancashires befolkning i aften.
Secondly, the Arrangement must incorporate checks to prevent the evasion of quotas according to region of origin.
Nordmann (L), ordfører. — (FR) Et indlæg til forretningsordenen, hr. formand. Jeg vil lykønske tolkene, som det er lykkedes at følge hr. Welsh.
Mr Kilby (ED). — Mr President, opinions on the rights and wrongs of renewing the Mulitfibre Arrangement are many.
Formanden. — Det var et tvivlsomt indlæg til forretningsordenen, hr. Nordmann! (latter)
Between these extreme positions are those who wish to see a strong, restructured, European industry competing
Hr. formand, jeg ønsker at henvende mig til mine portugisiske kolleger, og jeg håber, de vil tage det meget seriøst.
Fourthly, and lastly, the role of the Community's structural funds should be revised and extended, so that the problems of restructuring production and combating unemployment can be tackled.
Afalle lande i Fællesskabet har Portugal absolut intet at frygte af konkurrencen fra indu strien i lavomkostningslandene.
No 2-335/279 try to bring to a successful conclusion the restructuring begun some years ago.
De må passe på, for hvis de bøjer sig for argumenterne fra hr. Seal og hr. Hindley og folk af samme slags, vil nøjagtig de samme argumenter blive brugt mod Portugal, når landet forsøger at sælge sine egne lavomkostningsprodukter i det øvrige Fællesskab.
Mr Mouchel (RDE). — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the rapporteur Mr Nordmann, put it very well when he said that our deliberations on extending the MFA beyond 31 July 1986 should not degenerate into a permanent and misguided debate between those supporting the MFA, which some people wrongly consider protectionist, and the apostles of a fanatical free-exchangism.
