Kommissionen er altså villig til at undersøge de muligheder, der ligger i en sådan løsning, idet den anser den for særlig vigtig og praktikabel i forbindelse med de andragender, hvor den ikke mener at have kompetence. tence.
Incidentally, I am convinced that this is not an exten sive interpretation of Article 173 but an admissible legal development, since, after the Treaties of Rome entered into force, this Parliament became a budgetary authority and was directly elected.
Oppenheim (ED), ordfører. — Hr. formand, som det blev nævnt indledningsvis, drejer den betænkning, vi nu skal behandle, sig om Kommissionens forslag om fastfrysning af merværdiafgiften og punktafgifterne, en såkaldt »stand-still«.
Parliament aspires, however, to a further widening of its powers, on the legislative front especially, and the provisions of the Luxembourg Single Act are in effect a timorous starting point for this.
Med hensyn til punktafgifterne foreslår Kommissionen, at medlemslandene ikke udvider det område, hvor der er pålagt punktafgifter for på den måde at tilnærme sig dette område.
This aspiration is a permanent element in Parliament's policy and will remain so until this institution is genuinely able to respond to the duties emanating from the fact that it is directly elected by the citizens of Europe on the basis of universal suffrage.
Det er udvalget enigt i, og i betænkningen tilslutter man sig også Kommissionens forslag på dette område.
I would like to say a word on what Mrs Vayssade mentioned, namely, the question of whether internal acts of Parliament can be contested.
Vi kender ikke konsekvensberegningerne for, hvad det f.eks. vil betyde for hver enkelt medlemsstat, at man gennem fører »stand-still«-forslaget.
I assume that the wording of paragraph 4 of the motion for a resolution is an acceptable compromise.
Jeg tror såmænd heller ikke, at det er muligt at foretage de konsekevensberegninger; men det ville alligevel nok have været hen sigtsmæssigt, om man havde haft en idé om konsekvenserne. kvenserne.
It will certainly give minority protection to the organs of this Parliament, whether groups or even individual Members; but on the other hand the Court of Justice will certainly not become a political forum, a secondary parliament.
Hvis dette er Parlamentets ønske, og jeg er ikke i tvivl om, at det er tilfældet, er Kommissionen fuldt ud villig til at tage denne anmodning i betragtning.
I think the wording of paragraph 4 is acceptable and I therefore ask you to reject the amendments tabled to paragraph 4.
En anden større del af diskussionen har været spørgsmålet om at definere, hvad middelværdien skal være, når vi taler om en »stand-still«.
Reasons of principle and policy forbid Parliament to accept any erosion of its rights and any questioning of its parity vis-à-vis the other main institutions.
Dér har Kom missionen i sit forslag foreslået, at middelværdien er gennemsnittet mellem den laveste og den højeste normalsats, som findes i de enkelte medlemsstater.
And having legal equivalence with these other institutions is an integral part of its parity and aspirations.
Det giver en lidt lavere værdi.
For this reason I would recommend that Members vote in favour of Mrs Vayssade's report.
Jeg håber, hr. formand, at disse bemærkninger er nyt tige og vil gøre det muligt for os at samarbejde endnu mere effektivt på dette område i fremtiden, som vi har forsøgt det i disse to år.
Mr Tzounis (PPE). — (GR) Mr President, the European People's Party will vote for Mrs Vayssade's report, and allow me to use this opportunity to con gratulate her on her excellent speech.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
I believe they are wrong for two reasons.
Afstemningen finder sted i næste afstemningstid.
With your permission I would like to dwell more on the political aspects of the matter.
Økonomi- og valutaudvalget har foreslået ændring på dette punkt og foreslår, at man anvender den aritmetiske beregning.
If Article 173 of the Treaty does not mention this Par liament explicitly, this is because of the fact that prior to the widening of Parliament's powers in the budget ary sector its acts and decisions did not have legal effect with regard to third parties.
Det giver efter udvalgets opfattelse også større muligheder for de enkelte medlemsstater til at kunne indordne sig ud fra de niveauer, som er gældende i dag.
Consequently, there was no question of actions being brought against Par liament in the European Court for the annulment of acts by Parliament affecting third parties.
Siden udvalgsbehandlingen er der også kommet ændringsforslag fra hr. Visser, som foreslår, at man udover at tage udgangspunkt i den aritmetiske beregning giver mulighed for et plus/minus på 2,5% til hver side.
But from the moment Parliament acquired, by virtue of the widen ing of its powers, the capacity to issue decisions which were binding on third parties, it followed that these decisions would be subject to judicial review and possible annulment by the Court, that it would be possible for actions to be brought against Parliament, that is.
Konklusionen af disse bemærkninger er, af Europa-Parlamentet foreslår en mere lempelig ordning end den, som Kommissionen har foreslået.
We believed that if the Court were to hold Parliament vulnerable to an action under Article 173, then, following the well-established doctrine of interinstitutional balance, it would equally accord Parliament the right to bring an action under the same article.
Desværre har vi ikke haft mulighed for i hvert fald at drøfte det sidste ændringsforslag med Kommissionen, idet det
In the case of Les Verts Advocate-General Mancini strongly supported such a right, and I hope that before long the Court itself will be able to rule on the question.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er be tænkning (dok.
This was the view taken by the Court in the recent dis pute between Parliament and the Council over the 1986 budget.
Jeg mener, at det er dårligt.
As so often in the courts, Mr President, success can prove doubled-edged.
Ifølge artikel 1, stk. 3, litra a) skulle ingen forhøjelse af normalsatsen være mulig for bl.a. Belgien, Danmark, Frankrig, Irland og Nederlandene.
In a word, it is really to be found more in the sphere of teleological interpretation or even integration by anal­ogy than within the ambit of a broad interpretation properly speaking, which has no support in the actual text of the provisions referred to.
Det betyder, at en række lande, hvis de måtte ønske at forhøje deres momssats, kun kan gå over til forhøjelse af den laveste momssats, fordi der dér endnu er plads.
I entirely agree with Mrs Vayssade's conclusion which clearly follows the order of the Court made on 4 June this year dismissing the action brought by the European Right concerning the setting up of a committee of enquiry.
Det betyder en forhøjelse af beskatningen på i almindelighed elementære livsfornødenheder.
For that reason, Mr President, my group will not be supporting the amendments tabled by Mr Pordea and Mr De Gucht.
Det er der ikke rigtig noget at gøre ved på det stadium, hvor vi er nu, hvor vi ikke kender de videre konsekvenser; men som en del af bestræbelserne for at skabe det inteme marked er udvalget med de bemærkninger, jeg her er kommet med, og med de betænkeligheder, som måtte være, indforstået med og går ind for, at der skabes en tilnærmelse. Vi kunne bare godt have ønsket os nogle flere oplysninger under udvalgs behandlingen.
I just wish to support the argument put forward in the report under consideration, pointing out its import­ance and timeliness in political terms, in view particu­larly of the enlargement of the powers of Parliament provided for in the Single Act and the need to imple­ment the Treaty establishing the European Union which specifically provides for equality of access to, and review of the acts of all the institutions by, the Court of Justice.
Ændringsforslagene fra udvalget om økonomi, valutaspørgsmål og industripolitik giver ingen løsning.
Mr Pegado Liz (RDE). — (PT) Mr President, the subject under discussion is not a mere legal technical­ity.
Tværtimod, ændringsforslag nr. 3 gør det endnu vær re, fordi der opstår en endnu større mangfoldighed af satser. Jeg har derfor på min gruppes vegne stillet en række ændringsforslag for at afhjælpe de værste ulemper.
In view of the 'constitutional' system of the Trea­ties this obvious omission in the provisions of Article 173 of the Treaty of Rome as regards the Par­liament's capacity to sue and be sued by the institution of actions for annulment involves fundamental princi­ples of law.
Det fremkommer der ikke noget særlig smukt forslag af, men de alvorligste ulemper skulle kunne fjernes.
Mr Pordea (DR). — (FR) Mr President, Article 173 of the EEC Treaty does not say explicitly whether the Court of Justice has power to review the legality of acts of Parliament.
Det drejer sig om ikrafttrædelsesdatoen, om indførelsen af et spillerum på 5 % og om nødvendig heden af en øjeblikkelig gruppering af varer i de sam me afgiftsgrapper.
As far as we are concerned, there is no doubt that recent cases have shown that the pro­gressive extension of Parliament's powers has gone hand in hand with review of acts of this Assembly.
Endvidere må der også komme en midlertidig ord ning for lande, for hvilke følgerne er for vidtrækkende, f.eks. Storbritannien.
The Court of Justice was well aware of this fact when in its judgment in April 1986 it felt compelled to point out that the EEC is a community based upon the rule of law.
Vi forstår også, at man må begynde et eller andet sted, selv om vi hellere havde set en sammen hængende pakke af forslag.
This seems to be due primarily to the increased powers of review which have been transferred to Parliament.
Der er også tydeligvis tale om forbindelsen mellem virkeliggørelsen af det indre marked og fiskal harmonisering. Hvad det angår, er fremskridtene meget små, og det må endog betvivles, om fristen 1992 kan holde.
Passive legitimation of the European Parliament, in terms of Article 173 of the Treaty, passed into case law with a judgement of the Court of Justice on 23 April 1986, Les Verts ν European Parliament.
Som det fremgår af Øko-fin-Rådets beretning af 16. juli i år, er der med hen syn til de fiskale harmonisering faktisk endnu ikke afgjort noget, og ministrere har end ikke villet udtale sig om den i hvidbogens del 3 forsvarende strategi. Også fra egne informationer ved jeg, at der næppe er tale om nogen fremskridt.
I mention this to show clearly that from the moment at which Parliament was assigned powers other than mere consultative powers which might produce legal effects with regard to third parties, its acts could no longer be exempt from the review of legality which the Court of Justice is empowered to conduct.
Man må derfor være for sigtig med en skridtvis strategi, især hvis de følgende skridt lader vente for længe på sig og det første skridt taget for sig selv har en række vidtrækkende uheldige konsekvenser. Det er tilfældet med kommissionsforslaget. slaget.
The capacity of Parliament to be sued is therefore abundantly clear and need not be given any further consideration than has been devoted to it by the Court of Justice itself in its learned reports and in Mrs Vays­sade's extremely accurate and comprehensive report.
Herman (PPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, det er beklageligt at måtte konstatere, at det — ganske uanset hvor godt vi tager imod Kommissionens for slag til direktiv — kun drejer sig om at forhindre en forværring af tingenes tisistand.
The Court thereby recognized that actions for annul­ment could be brought against acts of the European Parliament which were capable of having legal force with regard to third parties, i.e. outside the framework of' that institution.
Det er trods alt ejendom meligt næsten tredive år efter Rom-traktatens under tegnelse at måtte konstatere, at merværdgifssatsernes tilnærmelse, som er det påskud, som alle medlems-
That is why its implications have to be clar­ified, otherwise we shall find that large numbers of Parliament's acts escape any kind of judicial control.
For den fiskale harmonisering er tre afgørelser nødvendige, nemlig for det første gruppering af varer i den samme afgiftsklasse, ellers vil modregningerne ved grænserne fortsat vare.
That is the aim of the amendment which we have tabled, seeking to submit the appointment of a com­mittee of inquiry to judicial review by the Court of Justice.
Nu kan man selvfølgelig godt træffe skridtvise afgørelser, men datoerne for denne fases ikrafttræden skal helst ligge på samme tidspunkt. Afgørelser med hensyn til afgiftsklasse og spillerum bør i alle tilfælde træffes samtidig.
Parliament's capacity to sue is a more delicate question and, although the arguments put forward in Mrs Vayssade's excellent report are impressive, I still do not think that the desired aim will be reached by a broad interpretation of the provisions of Article 173 of the Treaty.
overordentlig vigtigt forslag, og jeg tror, at folk ville være til stede, hvis de vidste det, for det vil begrænse vore nationale regeringers og nationale parlamenters ret til alene at hæve eller sænke skatterne — en meget fundamental ret som parlamenter og regeringer vær ner om.
tees can have outside the strict confines of the European Parliament, and therefore of the fact that such appointments may be prejudicial to third parties, it seems necessary in judicial terms for this particular category of acts to be subject to juducial review by the Court of Justice.
Strengt taget er det selvfølgelig overhovedet ikke et direktiv om fastfrysning.
Mr Ripa di Meana, Member of the Commission. — (IT) Mr President, first of all let me congratulate Mrs Vayssade and the Committe on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights on the excellent work they have accomplished, which is fully reflected in the report.
Efter at have opnået af første positiv afgørelse må Kommissionen derfor ikke udsætte den opgave, der påhviler den, for at ikke forskellene i punktafgifterne yderligere skal forværres. res.
The legal problems, which are complex and controversial, have been considered with great acumen, with great clarity, both the questions of doctrine and those before the Court of Justice.
Min anden bemærkning vedrører de undtagelser, der indrømmes lande, der ikke befinder sig i samme situation som de øvrige.
Mr Hoon (S). — Mr President, in speaking to this report on behalf of the Socialist Group, I want to address my remarks to paragraph 4 of the motion for a resolution, emphasizing as it does the vital importance of preserving the internal organization and decision making of the European Parliament from judicial review by the European Court of Justice.
Jeg kan godt forstå, at der lægges en vis tolerance for dagen over for de to lande, der netop har tiltrådt Fællesskabet; men ikke desto mindre bør der fastsættes tidsfrister, og man bør ganske særligt undgå at lægge samme slaphed for dagen over for disse lande, som vi har udvist over for andre medlemsstater, som fremdeles tre eller fire år efter tiltrædelsen ikke er i stand til at gennemføre merværdiafgiftssystement ordentligt.
This takes me back to the document presented by the Commission on 5 October 1985, paragraph 5 of which, on jurisdictional control, stated clearly that by virtue of the adoption of the proposed amendments the European Parliament was henceforth entitled to enjoy the same rights and obligations as the Council and the Commission in the procedure of jurisdictional control of the acts referred to in Article 173.
Her venter der Kom missionen en stor opgave.
I am recalling that Commission position in order to reaffirm it in full here, and we hope that this time your parliamentary initiative will be crowned with success.
Men Kommissionen bør have mod til at sætte sig ud over rent nationale betragtninger og forsvare sin fællesskabsposition.
And whilst supporting and upholding the primacy of the rule of law, it should not mean that for government by politicians we substitute government by judges.'
Det næste og mere kontroversielle spørgsmål er selv følgelig størrelsen af selve satserne.
The quotation from Anatole France criticizes the undue reliance placed by many on the supremacy of the law and the courts.
Ifølge Kommissionens forslag kan der kun ske en bevægelse mod middelværdien mellem den laveste og højeste.
Whilst the operation of the Community's institutions and the interpretation of its constitution must be subject to the rule of law, that should not mean that we replace political decision making by judicial interpretation.
Den laveste sats er 12% — Luxembourg og Spanien — og den højeste sats er 25% — Irland — hvilket betyder, at der ville ske en bevægelse henimod en middelværdi på 18,5%.
The motion for a resolution and the report therefore have especial importance in our view.
Hvis de bevæger sig, når direktivet træder i kraft, ændrer det middelværdien væsentligt.
In the final analysis it is the Court of Justice, and it alone, that can give an authoritative reply to the question in the case in point.
De er efter min mening ikke de vigtigste økonomiske lande.
According to the Treaty, the Court shall ensure that in the interpretation and application of the Treaty the law is observed.
Derfor foretrækker vi i Parlamentet et gen nemsnit på 17,3% — og det er det, der er sagt i betænkningen.
It is up to it to decide on the admissibility of an action brought by Parliament against an act of the Council or the Commission in a Community matter.
Jeg ser, at de liberale foretrækker det vejede gennem snit — vejet af bruttonationalproduktet — hvilket forekommer endnu mere retfærdigt, og det ville være 16,3%.
Naturally I do not wish to see this recourse, but I can promise you that if such a situation arose, the Com mission would not request an exception to the admissibility rule and would bow to the wisdom of the Court.
Vi vil geme høre Kommissionens synspunk ter herom.
You therefore know that the Commission is entirely in favour of Parliament's right of recourse in the context of actions for annulment.
Og så vil jeg endelig tale om følgerne af de trufne foranstaltninger.
That may sound vaguely heretical coming from a law yer.
Derfor bør Kom missionen, inden den anmoder om en afgørelse fra Rådet, være i stand til — og jeg er helt klar over, at det ikke er nogen enkel sag, jeg anmoder om, — at analysere virkningerne af en sådan afgørelse, ikke blot med hensyn til afgiftsprovenuet, men også med hensyn til byrdens fordeling og de helhedsvirkninger, som afgørelsen får i makroøkonomisk henseende.
Instead of democratically elected Members of the European Parliament taking political decisions on the basis of their mandates, answerable to their constituents and to their electors, we would be leaving sensitive and significant political decisions to non-elected appointed judges answerable to no one.
Det er ikke desto mindre et
President. — The debate is closed.
Hvis man er enig i, at det er på krævet at nå frem til gennemførelsen — og det om muligt inden for den fastsatte frist — af det indre marked, kan man ikke være uenig i det forslag, Kom missionen har fremsat.
What are we proposing? Our proposals will make it possible to improve procedures temporarily, and with the realization of the internal market we shall be able to have binding rules and so give concrete form to the decisions of the European Council at Milan.
Næste spørgsmål er arten af det tilladelige udsving.
President. — The next item is the report (Doc.
Jeg vil geme minde Kommissionen om, at vi ikke taler om abstrakt matematik her, men om at ophæve afgiftsgrænserne; vi taler om varers og tjeneste ydelsers bevægelse over grænserne. Det, der er vigtigt, er derfor ikke generelle satser, men den sats der an vendes på bestemte varer eller bestemte tjenester.
A 274/86) by Mr Amadei, on behalf of the Committee on the Rules of Procedure and Petitions, on initiatives to strengthen cooperation between the institutions in the examination of petitions submitted to the European Parliament.
Det er begrænset — for meget, siger man — nogle mangler her og der; men det er en kendsgerning, at det over for et så vanskeligt emne i det mindste forsøger at skabe noget konkret og starte en fase, der vil sætte os i stand til at gøre yderligere fremskridt i retning af harmonisering, idet man forhindrer en til bagevenden til den nuværende ordning, som er ka rakteriseret af stor forvirring, af store forskelle og af stor usikkerhed.
In order to reinforce citizens' rights we are suggesting a far fuller system of information between the Com munity institutions and the administrations of the Member States which I mentioned just now. We are asking for an interinstitutional agreement which will enable us to ensure that these petitions are handled as efficiently as possible.
Derfor har Parlamentet foreslået, at man kan ændre en hvilken som helst sats, forudsat at den derved kommer til at ligge tættere på middelværdien for de varer og tjenesteydelser, der rent faktisk krydser grænserne.
Mrs Dury (S), deputy rapporteur. — (FR) Mr President, may I first of all apologize for the absence of our chairman and rapporteur Mr Amadei.
Vi ved, at det vil kræve en vis mængde statistisk arbejde, men det skulle ikke være umuligt for Kommissionen at udføre det, og Kommissionen har jo allerede lovet at gøre det i hvidbogen.
It is a pleasure for me to be able to deputize for him in presenting this report which, as you said, aims to strengthen cooperation between the institutions in the examination of petitions submitted to the European Parliament.
Alle de andre svulstige erklæringer om det indre marked, om dets nødvendighed og om dets iværksættelse forbliver imidlertid tomme ord, hvis man ikke gør fremskridt på dette område.
We hope in fact that the Council will try to persuade national administrations to give evidence of their willingness to advance the cause of European integration and citizens' rights.
Der er ingen bestemmelse i direktivet, der forhindrer en medlemsstat i at gøre det.
The report was conceived with two aims in mind and in the light of certain findings.
Derfor anbefaler jeg vort ændringsforslag nr. 3, hvorefter man kan flytte varer fra én sats til en anden, forudsat at satsen for de pågældende varer og tjenesteydelser kommer tættere på EFs middelværdi.
The two aims: the European Parliament intends to continue its work, because, since it is there, it has decided to open up what I shall call a democratic path for the people to allow anyone to submit petitions.
Hvad bekymringerne i forbindelse med punktafgifter ne angår, synes forslaget mig at være klart: man bekræfter nødvendigheden af at gå i retning af en total afvikling af punktafgifterne, hvilket er i overensstemmelse med fjernelsen af de indre skattegrænser.
In conclusion, Mr President, may I say that my plea is addressed not only to the members of the Committee on the Rules of Procedure and Petitions, but also to the citizens of Europe who believe that Europe is much too remote.
Vil det ske, vil det ikke ske, kære Ben?
Meeting our request is an effective way of getting closer to them.
Derfor går jeg ud fra — hvad de stillede ændringsforslag til direktivet angår — at vores gruppe vil stemme imod dem, idet vi synes, at de bevidst eller ubevidst går i akkurat den modsatte retning af behovet for integration og harmonisering inden for Fællesskabet.
Although the Commission does in fact give us valuable help where matters involving the Treaties are concerned, it has to be recognized that the Member States themselves are not always prepared to cooperate and that it is sometimes difficult to obtain the information which we need to help us resolve problems.
Maher (LDR). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil geme takke fru Oppenheim for hendes betænkning, selv om jeg mener, det er rimeligt at sige, at der er nogle svagheder i den.
Mrs Vayssade (S). — (FR) Mr President, the Socialist Group has always defended the European citizen's right to petition and has pleaded for that right to be better and more frequently used.
