Seal (S). — (EN) Er Kommissionen klar over, at der hver dag drikkes omkring 33 mio 'halve liter mælk i Det forenede Kongerige?
Mr Seal (S). — Is the Commissioner aware that 33 million pints of milk a day are consumed in the United Kingdom ?
Er han også klar over, at 84 % heraf leveres ved gadedøren?
Is he also aware that 84 % of these are delivered by doorstep delivery ?
Hvis der skæres ned på dette salg, mister de gamle og folk i land distrikterne ikke blot en værdifuld social tjeneste ydelse, men mælkeoversuddene i EF vil ikke blive nedbragt, men derimod forøget.
If this delivery is reduced, not only will a valuable social service be lost to the old people and to people living in rural areas but the milk surpluses in the EEC will not be diminished but actually increased.
Jeg mener også, at EKSF har et ansvar her.
There too I think responsibility falls on the ECSC.
Som allerede sagt er vi klar over, at Det forenede Kongerige tillægger dørsalg stor betydning.
We are aware, as I have said before, that the United Kingdom is very attached to doorstep deliveries.
Vi er klar-over, at det er en stor bekvemmelighed for en række mennesker.
We are aware that they are a considerable convenience to a number of people.
Vi er klar over, at hvis det forsvinder, vil denne bekvemmelighed utvivlsomt også forsvinde.
We are aware that if they were to disappear, no doubt that convenience would disappear also.
Vi er naturligvis klar over alle disse ting, men jeg er det ærede medlem taknemmelig for atter at have gjort os opmærksom herpå.
We are indeed aware of all those things, but I am grateful to the honourable gentlemen for drawing them again to our attention.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 11 af Lizin (H-665/ 83):
President. (H-665/83) :
Richard. — (EN) Hvad angår det første af disse to spørgsmål, er det tydeligvis ikke muligt for Kommissionen at foretage et skøn over, hvad det vil koste, for vi ved endnu ikke nøjagtig, hvor mange der vil blive berørt, og hvor mange der derfor vil være berettiget til de godtgørelser, som Kommissionen håber på at være i stand til at medfinansiere.
Mr Richard. — As far as the first of those two ques tions is concerned, obviously it is not possible for the Commission to make an estimate of what it is going to cost because we do not yet know precisely how many people would therefore qualify for the benefits which the Commission hopes it would be in a posi tion to co-finance.
Ud fra den plan, som hr. Grandois som rådgiver har udarbejdet for den belgiske regering, er tabet af arbejdspladser i Liege-området af en størrelsesorden på 4 000 ifølge mine oplysninger; heraf resulterer cirka 1 500 af virksomhedslukninger og de resterende 2 500 af produktivitetsforbedringer og modernisering af de resterende virksomheder.
Judging from the plan drawn up for the Belgian Governmnt by the consultant Mr Gandois, job losses in the Liège area may be of the order of 4 000, I am told, of which some 1 500 could result from plant closures and the remaining 2 500 from productivity improvements and modernization of the remaining plant.
Af de 4 000 ramte arbejdstagere er 2 700 berettiget til førtidspension fra en alder på 55 og opefter.
Of the 4 000 workers affected, 2 700 may qualify for early retirement from the age of 55 onwards.
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, om den har til hensigt at finansiere førtidspensionsordninger inden for jern- og stålindustrien i Liege-området, og er det tænkeligt, at aldersgrænsen vil blive fastsat til mellem 50 og 52 år?
Can the Commission say if it is planning to finance early retirements in the iron and steel industry in Liège, and is there any likelihood of the age at which it would take effect being some where around 50/52 ?
Under hensyntagen til naturlig afgang er det tænke ligt, at 1 000 arbejdstagere skal behandles på andre måder enten ved at nedsætte førtidspensionsalderen eller ved at fremme genansættelsen i andre økonomisk sunde sektorer. Men man kender ikke disse tal, så det er derfor meget vanskeligt for mig at give et fast skøn over, hvor meget det kommer til at koste.
Taking account of natural wastage, it might be that 1 000 workers would need to be dealt with in other ways, whether by reducing the qualifying age for early retirement or by promoting re-employment in other economically sound activities.
For så vidt angår anden del af det ærede medlems svar, var jeg ikke klar over, at jeg var blevet bedt om at møde en delegation fra denne kommune.
As far as the second part of the honourable lady's ques tion is concerned, I was not aware that I had been asked to meet a deputation from this particular commune.
Hvis det ærede medlem vil sætte sig i forbindelse med mig, er det bestemt noget, jeg vil overveje med velvilje.
If the honourable lady would like to get in touch with me, certainly this is something that I would be pleased to consider.
Richard, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Formelt er de ledige stålarbejdere, der nyder godt af førtidspensionsordninger i Belgien, blevet behandlet som arbejdsløse med ret til overgangsgodtgørelse i henhold til den gældende ordning med tilpasningsydelser, der er vedtaget af den belgiske regering.
Mr Richard, Member of the Commission. — In formal terms redundant steelworkers benefiting from early pension arrangements in Belgium have been treated as unemployed workers entitled to tide-over allowances under the existing scheme of readaptation benefits agreed with the Belgian Government.
Alle stålarbejdere over 50 år kan modtage den maksimale 20-måneders godtgørelse, der medfinansieres af Det europæiske Kul- og Stålfællesskab.
All steelworkers over 50 are able to receive the maximum 20 months of benefit jointly financed by the European Coal and Steel Community.
I lighed med den sociale volet for stål for 1981 fastsætter den nye sociale støtteordning, som Kommissionen har fore slået, supplerende støtte i en maksimal førtidspensionsperiode på tre år for modtagere, der er 55 år eller derover.
As under the 1981 social volet for steel, the new social support scheme which the Commission has proposed envisages supplementary aid covering a maximum pre-pension period of three years for beneficiaries aged 55 and over.
Endvidere er vi rede til at bidrage til en
In addition, we would be prepared to contribute towards early retirement for those aged 50-55 who are medically unfit or have been working in particularly arduous conditions.
Lord O'Hagen (ED). — (EN) Kan Kommissionen i forbindelse med førtidspensionering bekræfte, at det efter dens opfattelse stadig er det britiske Labourpartis officielle politik at lade sig »førtidspensionere« fra Det europæiske Fællesskab, der skulle ødelægge
For those not qualifying on this basis there may be the possibility of a contribution of 2 000 units of account in place of the reintegration premium to which they would be entitled under the Commission's proposal if they found alternative jobs.
LordO'Hagen den britiske mejeriindustri og afskaffe dørsalg?
The social support scheme is currently under discussion in the Council's working group.
Hvis det er det, som Kommissionen kan fortælle os, viser det da ikke tydeligt de britiske socialistiske medlem mers hykleri, når de til stadighed klager over dørsalget her i Parlamentet?
The Commission hopes for at least a preliminary Council decision this month.
Richard. — (EN) Jeg tror ikke, at det ærede medlem burde provokere mig til at kommentere de politiske opfattelser hos et parti, der er repræsenteret i denne forsamling.
Mr Richard. — I do not think the honourable gentleman should provoke me into commenting upon the political views of any of the parties represented in this House.
Disse forslag tager desuden sigte på at udøve kontrol med importen af de pågældende produkter med oprindelse i tredjelande, således at man kan træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger, hvis markedet forstyrres som følge af en tiltagende import af produkter, som det fælles marked vanskeligt kan opsuge uden at bringe sine egne producenters indkomst alvorligt i fare.
I should like Mr Richard to give me an estimate, if he can, of how much money might be coming to the Walloon iron and steel industry from social measures and to tell me if he would agree — and this is a proposal I am making him today — to receive the leaders of Seraing, one of the hardest-hit communes in the Liège area, where the closures are having an extremely
Gautier (S). — (DE) Hr. kommissær, jeg går ud fra, at Det svar, De gav fru Lizin, principielt også gælder for Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland.
Mr Gautier (S). — (DE) Commissioner, I assume that your reply to Mrs Lizin also applies in principle to West Germany.
Jeg vil gerne spørge Dem i forbindelse med Deres udtalelse om, at Kommissionen er rede til at medfinansiere førtidspensioner i alderen 50-55 år, hvis arbejdstagerne sund hedsmæssigt er truet eller skadet, om der allerede er planlagt en forordning eller et direktiv med henblik herpå?
In connection with your statement that the Commission would be prepared to co-finance early retirement from an age of 50 to 55 for those who are medically unfit or have been working in arduous conditions, I would like to ask whether a directive or regulation to this end is envisaged ?
Med hvor mange procent ville Kommissionen i en sådant tilfælde deltage i omkostningerne?
What percentage of the costs would the Commission contribute in such a case ?
Seligman (ED). — Jeg takker kommissæren for dette svar.
Debates of the European Parliament
Men formålet med den beslutning, der vedtoges i oktober sidste år, var at gøre noget rettidigt for produktionsåret 1984/85, og det starter næste måned.
However, the resolution adopted last October was intended to do something in time for the 1984/85 season, and that starts next month.
Jeg chokeres over at se, at det i forordningsforslaget fra Rådet hedder, at denne forordning træder i kraft den 1. november 1984.
I see with dismay that the draft regulation from the Councils says 'this regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1984'.
Det er alt for sent.
That is much too late.
En masse firmaer vi gå fallit inden da.
A lot of companies are going to go bust before then.
Vil Kommissionen derfor forsøge at fremrykke denne dato under forudsætning af, at Parlamentet gør sit arbejde og får forordningen igennem? Den ligger nu på Parlamentets bord.
So, will the Commission please try and advance that date, provided Parliament does its stuff and gets the regulation through ?
Hvis vi kan få den hurtigt igennem, vil Kommissionen og Rådet så få den hurtigt igennem og rettidigt for dette produktionsår?
If we can get it through quickly, will the Commission and the Council get it through quickly in time for this season ?
Andriessen. — (NL) Jeg er gerne rede til, så snart de pågældende udtalelser er afgivet, at fremme en hurtigst mulig afklaring af denne sag i Rådet.
Mr Andriessen. — (NL) Once the relevant opinions have been forwarded, I am quite prepared to call for the matter to be dealt with as quickly as possible in the Council.
Richard. — (EN) Jeg er bange for, at det ærede medlem ikke har forstået det helt rigtigt.
Mr Richard. — I am afraid the honourable gentleman has not got it quite right.
Disse foran staltninger vedrørende førtidspension eller overgangsgodtgørelse er i vid udstrækning en direkte følge af forhandlinger og drøftelser mellem enkelte medlems stater og Kommissionen.
These arrangements for early retirement or tiding-over allowances are in large part a direct result of negotiations and discussions between individual Member States and the Commission.
Det, vi forsøger at gøre, er at hjælpe medlemsstaterne med at gennemføre den politik, som de finder rigtig i forhold til de arbejdsløse inden for deres kul- eller stålindustri.
What we try to do is to assist the Member States in implementing the policies that they think are proper in relation to unemployed workers in their coal or steel industries.
Det svar, jeg gav, er derfor teknisk set begrænset til de drøftelser, som har fundet sted mellem Kommissionen på den ene side og Belgiens regering på den anden med hensyn til dette lands stålproblem.
The answer I gave is therefore technically confined to the discussions that have taken place between the Commission on the one hand and the government of Belgium on the other hand in relation to its steel problem.
Hvis der er spørgsmål, som det ærede medlem ønsker at stille med hensyn til lignende foranstaltninger — hvis der findes lignende foranstaltninger — mellem Kommissionen og Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, kan han naturligvis selv stille et spørgsmål, og jeg vil bestemt drage omsorg for, at det besvares.
Obviously, if there are questions that the honourable gentleman would like to ask about the comparable arrangements — if there are comparable arrangements — between the Commission and the Federal Republic, he might care to put a question down and I will certainly see that it is answered.
Spørgsmål nr.
President. — Question No 12, by Mr Seligman (H-696/83) :
Seligman
Subject : flowers
Marshall (ED). — (EN) Da jeg stadig er så ung, at jeg nyder at købe blomster til min kone, vil jeg gerne bede Kommissionen om at tage hensyn til blomster forbrugernes holdninger, og må jeg også bede Kommissionen om at se på den alvorlige situation, som dens forslag kunne bringe Fællesskabets blomsterleverandører i.
Mr Marshall (ED). — As one who is young enough to still enjoy buying flowers for his wife, may I ask the Commission to take account of the views of consumers of flowers, and may I also ask the Commission to look at the serious plight in which their proposals could place suppliers of flowers to the Community.
Mange af disse leverandørlande er langt mindre velstående end vi i Fællesskabet.
Many of these supplying countries are much less well off than we as a Community are.
Det forekommer mig derfor at være umoralsk at forarme dem, og det forekommer mig forkert at lade forbrugerne af afskårne blomter lide, for at de stakkels folk i West Sussex kan få lidt protektionisme.
So it would seem to me to be immoral to pauperize them, and it seems to me wrong to make the customers of the cut flower industry suffer so that there can be a little bit of protectionism amongst the poor people of West Sussex.
Kan Kommissionen hjælpe Fællesskabets producenter ved at nævne en dato, hvor den vil kunne bekendtgøre endelige forslag og sætte dem i kraft?
Can the Commission give help to producers within the Community by stating a date by which they will be able to announce definite proposals and put them into force ?
Andriessen, medlem af Kommissionen. — (NL) På mødet i Rådet af landbrugsministre den 17. og 18. oktober 1983 forpligtede Kommissionen sig til at forelægge en beretning indeholdende forslag vedrørende en importordning for visse afskårne blomster, navnlig roser og nelliker, således at der kan træffes en afgørelse inden produktionsåret 1984/85.
Mr Andriessen, Member of the Commission. — (NL) At the meeting of the Council of Agriculture Ministers on 17 and 18 October 1983 the Commission undertook to submit a report containing proposals concerning the regulation of imports of certain cut flowers, particularly roses and carnations, so that a decision might be taken before the start of the 1984/85 marketing season.
Andriessen. — (NL) Som utvivlsomt mange andre i denne forsamling glæder jeg mig også over nu og da at købe en lille blomst.
Mr Andriessen. — (NL) Like many people in this Assembly no doubt, I like buying flowers from time to time.
Jeg kan desværre ikke helt give det ærede medlem den »blomst«, han har bedt mig om.
I am afraid that I cannot do precisely as the honourable Member has requested.
Jeg har netop meget omhyggeligt givet udtryk for de betingelser, som Kommissionen fast sætter for eventuelt at kunne gribe ind.
I have just expressed myself very carefully on the conditions the Commission believes must be satisfied before it takes action.
Det forholder sig bestemt ikke således, at Kommissionen mener, at der under alle omstændigheder må træffes foranstaltninger.
The Commission certainly does not think that it should take action at all costs.
Kommissionen mener, at det udelukkende bør ske, hvis den samlede produktion og import på markedet vanskeligt kan opsuges, og de pågældende producenters indkomst alvorligt bringes i fare.
It believes action should be taken only if, for example, the market is having difficulty absorbing total production and imports and the incomes of the producers concerned are at serious risk.
Jeg tror, at vi her må finde en middelvej mellem producenternes og forbrugernes interesse.
I feel we must strike a balance between producers' and consumers' interests.
For så vidt importlandene er udviklingslande, er det klart, at de
This Community is often criticized for its attitude towards the Third World in this particular regard.
Hr. Lomas' spørgsmål blev derfor dengang kendt uantage­ligt.
Mr Andriessen. — (NL) I willingly give this assurance.
Han har slettet det anstødelige ord, og jeg kan ikke andet end acceptere spørgsmålet, som det nu er udformet.
This does not mean that the Commission will take action at all costs, but only if these conditions are satisfied.
Jeg beder derfor Kommissionen om at besvare spørgsmål nr. 13.
They naturally allow for an assessment of the legitimate interests of third countries which are in a difficult position.
Balfe (S). — (EN) Da jeg holder meget af blomster, buketter, vil jeg for en gangs skyld tilslutte mig hr. Marshall og bede om, at Kommissionen lægger særligt vægt på den virkning, som importrestriktioner kunne få for tredjelande.
President. — Question No 13, by Mr Lomas (H-338/ 83/rev.) :
Andriessen. — (NL) Den forsikring giver jeg gerne.
Subject : European companies in South Africa
Richard, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Adfærds­kodeks for selskaber med datterselskaber, filialer eller repræsentationer i Sydafrika er et resultat af en samordnet aktion mellem medlemsstaterne under det politiske samarbejde.
Mr Richard, Member of the Commission. — The Code of Conduct of companies with subsidiaries, branches or representations in South Africa is a result of concerted action between the Member States within the framework of political cooperation.
Kommissionen deltager i det politiske samarbejde, men er ikke blevet bedt om at administrere kodeksen.
The Commission participates in the work of political cooperation, but it has not been asked to administer the Code.
Det er kommissæren bekendt, at visse fællesskabsfirmaer ikke fuldt ud overholder kodeksens bestemmelser om løn.
The Commissioner is informed that certain Community firms are not complying fully with the Code's provisions on pay.
Kommissionen er ikke i stand til at gribe ind, sådan som det ærede medlem foreslår.
The Commission is not in a position to take the kind of action referred to by the honourable Member.
Kommissionen ønsker, at medlems­staterne fortsætter deres bestræbelser på at sikre den størst mulige efterlevelse af kodeksens bestemmelser og glæder sig over medarbejderskab og incitament fra Parlamentet i så henseende.
The Commission would like the Member States to continue their efforts to ensure the widest possible compliance with the Code's provisions and welcomes the cooperation and encouragement of Parliament to that end.
Om: Europæiske virksomheder i Sydafrika
A report has been published in a British news paper, The Observer, stating that the following companies in South Africa are breaking the EEC Code of Conduct, by paying wages below even the EEC's rather modest minimum recommendations :
Det britiske blad »The Observer« har ofte offent­liggjort en rapport, hvori det hedder, at nedenstå­ende virksomheder i ■ Sydafrika krænker EFs adfærdskodeks ved at udbetale lønninger, der endog er lavere end den ret beskedne mindsteløn, som ÉF har anbefalet:
Even if the Commission itself cannot do anything in a direct way, despite the fact that yet again someone in the British Prime Minister's family is involved in disreputable business affairs, could he not at least ask the British Government to intervene and try to stop companies from paying starvation wages in South Africa ?
Lomas (S). — (EN) Jeg accepterer, hvad kommis­særen siger, men er han alligevel ikke enig i, at det er en sørgelig tingenes tilstand? Selv hvis Kommissionen ikke direkte kan gøre noget, trods det at et medlem af deh britiske premierministers familie nu igen er indblandet i forkastelige forretninger, kunne den i det mindste bede den britiske regering om at intervenere og prøve at hindre selskaberne i at betale sulteløn­ninger i Sydafrika.
British Electric Traction, Quinton Hazell (of which the British Prime Minister's husband is a director), Dunlop, GKN, Lonhro, Low & Bonar, Turner & Newall, Wimpey. Does the Commission propose to take any action to remedy this state of affairs ?
Formanden. — Hr. Lomas, jeg må virkelig minde Dem om, at vi er i Europa­Parlamentet, og at ingen ærerørig udtalelse om nogen, hvem det end er, og hvis søn det end måtte være, er tilladelig.
President. — Mr Lomas, I really must remind you that we are in the European Parliament and that any defamatory statement concerning anybody, whoever they are and whoever's son they are, is not acceptable.
Det er hinsides parlamentarisk skik.
It is outside parliamentary practice.
Richard. — (EN) Jeg kan helt acceptere forslagets generelle indhold, nemlig at for så vidt angår firmaer, der driver virksomhed i Sydafrika, er det yderst ønskeligt, at de retter sig efter kodeksens bestem­melser.
Mr Richard. — I entirely accept the generality of the proposition, which is that as far as firms operating in South Africa are concerned, it is highly desirable that they should obey the provisions of the Code.
På den anden side er det meget vanskeligt for Kommissionen — i et tilfælde hvor vi ikke har kompetence til at intervenere direkte, og hvor ansvaret for håndhævelse af kodeksen ikke ligger hos Kommissionen, men hos medlemsstaterne — at gå videre end til den generelle bemærkning, jeg gjorde til at begynde med, nemlig at vi virkelig venter af medlemsstaterne, at de sikrer, at kodeksen bliver korrekt efterlevet.
On the other hand, it is very difficult for the Commission — in a case in which we do not have the competence to intervene directly and in which the responsibility for enforcing the Code is not with the Commission but with the Member States — to go further than the general observation which I made at the outset, which was that we do look to Member States to ensure that the Code is properly complied with.
Maffre-Baugé (COM). — (FR) Hr. kommissær, mener Kommissionen ikke, at Fællesskabets trovær­
Mr Maffre-Baugé (COM). — (FR) Mr Commissioner, does the Commission not think that the Community's credibility is suffering in the minds of large sections of public opinion in Africa due to its countenancing the investment of European capital in South Africa on terms involving wages that are lower than the EEC's minimum requirements ?
Purvis (ED). — (EN) Til forretningsordenen, fru formand.
He wrote to the President of Parliament and that decision was upheld.
Dette spørgsmål er dateret den 17. august 1983.
Mr Lomas has put down this revised question.
Det har stået på dagsordenen hver måned siden da, men spørgeren har ikke været til stede i nogen af mødeperioderne, og spørgsmålet er aldrig blevet behandlet.
It is not the same question. He has deleted the offending words, and I cannot but accept the question that he has put down as it is now worded.
Richard. — (EN) Jeg tror ikke, Fællesskabets troværdighed er i fare.
Mr Richard. — I do not think that the credibility of the Community is threatened.
De enkelte firmaers troværdighed, når de betaler lønninger under minimum, kan absolut anfægtes, og jeg håber, at medlemsstaterne vil gøre, hvad de kan, for at sikre, at kodeksen og dens bestemmelser overholdes af firmaer, der for øjeblikket ikke gør det.
The credibility of individual firms that may be paying wages below the minimum is certainly called into question, and I hope that Member States will do what they can to ensure that the Code and its provisions are complied with by firms that are at present not doing so.
Jeg vil tillade mig at sige, at det ikke er Kommissionen, der kraftigt henstiller dette til selskaberne i medlemsstaterne.
With respect, it is not the Commission that is urging this upon companies in Member States.
