For objektivitetens skyld må jeg anerkende, at den nye PASOK-regering har lovet at fortsætte støtten til de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
In Greece, even before our accession to the Community, the former government of the New Democracy Party attached particular importance to the small and mediumsized undertakings and established a programme comprising all the measures contained in the motion under discussion here.
Grækenland kan støtte de foranstaltninger, der er indeholdt i forslaget til beslutning, eftersom vi alle rede anvender dem, for vi betragter de små og mellemstore virksomheder som industriens frontvirksomheder og som en garanti for en fri økonomi.
Let me mention some of the Greek measures. For in stance, grants to such small and mediumsized under takings as give initial employment to young people up to 24 years of age for the first two years of employ ment, to cover the employer's contributions on the earnings of these young workers, the introduction of automatic aid for industrial loans, the organization their export efforts, etc.
Jeg ønsker, at der skal lægges større vægt ikke blot på de grundlæggende håndværksvirksomheder på landet, men også de små virksomheder, som passer ind i det landlige miljø som f.eks. små reparationsfirmaer, virksomheder eller fabrikker, som fremstiller levnedsmidler, og som beskæftiger 15-20 mennesker i de enkelte landsbyer.
I want greater emphasis not only on basic rural craft industries but on the small businesses that fit into the rural environment, such as small agricultural repair shops, food processing plants and factories employing 15 to 20 people, in each of the villages to create jobs.
Det er der et særligt behov for i det nordlige Wales.
This we particularly need in the north of Wales.
Men vi har brug for investeringer i Fællesskabets landområder, så at unge mennesker kan planlægge deres fremtid i disse særlige områder.
But we need financial investment in the rural areas of our Community so that young people can plan their futures in those particular areas.
Fællesskabet består ikke af store byer og industriområder, men landområderne er Fællesskabets hjerte, og jeg anmoder om, at der vil blive skabt forudsætninger for at oprette små og mellemstore virksomheder, og at de vil kunne udvikle sig.
This Community is not made up of big cities and industrial conurbations, but the heart of our Community is in the country and I ask that the small and medium undertakings be given the circumstances to be created and grow.
De græske medlemmer af Nea Dimokratia går derfor uforbeholdent ind for forslaget til beslutning," og vi håber på, at de foreslåede foranstaltninger hurtigt bliver gennemført.
For objectivity's sake, Mr President, I must recognize that the new PASOK government has also promised to continue supporting small and mediumsized under takings.
Bournias. — (GR) Hr. formand, ordføreren hr. Deleau har i sin fremragende betænkning for økonomi- og valutaudvalget foreslået en række værdifulde og seriøse foranstaltninger til støtte for de små og mellemstore virksomheder i Fællesskabet, idet disse spiller en betydelig rolle i medlemsstaternes økonomiske udvikling og socialpolitik.
Greece is in favour of the measures contained in the motion for a resolution, since it is already applying them, because it considers small and mediumsized undertakings as being at the forefront of industry and as the guarantee of a free economy.
Ordføreren kommer hele vejen rundt om alle de faktorer, der er af betydning for de små og mellem store virksomheder — finansiering, administration, oplæring, teknologi, juridiske spørgsmål og beskatning — både i begrundelsen og i forslaget til beslutning, så der er ingen grund til her at holde forsvarstale for dem eller tilføje noget til dem.
Mr Bournias. — (GR) Mr President, in the excellent report on behalf of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, the rapporteur, Mr Deleau, has put forward valuable and serious measures to help the small and mediumsized undertakings of the Community, which' play a prominent role in the economic development and the social policy of the Member States.
Notenboom. — (NL) Hr. formand, det europæiske folkepartis gruppe kan fuldt og helt tilslutte sig betænkningen af Deleau, som er mere end blot ordfører.
The Greek Members of the New Democracy therefore unreservedly welcome the motion for a resolution and hope for the rapid implementation of the measures proposed.
Han er hele sit liv gået ind for disse ting. Han er altså konsekvent og ikke blot tendentiøs.
President. — I call Mr Notenboom.
Jeg vil gerne især betone de små og mellemstore virksomheders rolle i forbindelse med skabelse af nye jobs, og det er dette faktum, som er det væsentligste argument over for Rådet og Kommissionen, hvis vi skal få dem til at acceptere forslaget til beslutning om etablering af et virkeligt støtteprogram for små og mellemstore virksomheder, hvori vi koordinerer de tilskud, de allerede har fået, hovedsageligt fra Den europæiske Investeringsbank, Socialfonden og andre af Fællesskabets finansieringsinstrumenter.
All the factors affecting small and mediumsized undertakings — financing, administration, training, technology, legal questions and taxes — are dealt with in full by the rapporteur both in the explanatory state ment and in the motion for a resolution, so that there is no need to defend them or add anything to them.
I Kommissionens handlingsprogram for 1982 til 1983 lægges der særlig vægt på dette synspunkt — det vil sige jobskabelsen i små og mellemstore virksomheder — og i Sunday Telegraph fra sidste søndag, den 14. februar, udtalte fru Thatcher følgende: »Vi er på vej mod at opnå rentabilitet og konkurrencedygtighed, hvis vi særlig koncentrerer os om at opmuntre de små virksomheder. Regeringerne i de fleste andre
I should particularly like to underline the role of small and mediumsized undertakings in creating new jobs, and it is this fact which constitutes the main argument vis-à-vis the Council and the Commission if we are to get them to accept the motion for a resolution on the establishment of a genuine programm of aid for small
Derfor bør denne debat først og fremmest munde ud i en appel til de nationale lovgivere om, at de omsætter de generelle udtalelser om SMVs betydning i handling.
Mr Notenboom. — (NL) Mr President, the Group of the European People's Party wholeheartedly supports the report by Mr. Deleau, who is more than mere rapporteur.
For det er tendentiøst at sige, at de små og mellemstore virksomheder har stor betydning for beskæftigelsen.
He has been concerned with these matters for his whole life, which means he is being consistent and not just fashionable.
Man venter næsten ligefrem, at de er den eneste redning ud af den elendighed, vi befinder os i. Det er tendentiøst, og der er mange, der nu
In his report, Mr Deleau has quite rightly refrained from going into the philosophy, definition and economic and social significance of small and mediumsized undertakings in the
Notenboom synger med i kor på den melodi, hr. Deleau i årevis har slået an.
Notenboom
Den pågældende rapport har vi endnu ikke fået.
This has already been done and he refers to this previous work.
Og de, som bestræber sig på at give en statsejet institution, nemlig post- og telegrafvæsent, beføjelse til at bevæge sig ind på forsikringsområdet, et område som indtil for kort tid siden udelukkende hørte ind under selvstændige mægleres kompetence område, bør spørge sig selv, om de virkelig handler i overensstemmelse med deres påstand om, at de små og mellemstore virksomheder er så vigtige.
On this occassion, he restricts himself exclusively — and rightly in our opinion — to practical measures which are now essential if small and mediumsized undertakings are to play their part in the European Community in this time of crisis.
Jeg håber altså, at der vil udgå en opfordring til de nationale lovgivere, som endnu råder over langt de fleste instrumenter til at hjælpe de små og mellemstore virksom heder.
He also quite rightly realizes that the Community is still only partially integrated, with the result that the instruments which can be used not only to the advantage, but also to the disadvantage of the small and mediumsized undertakings are, for the most part, in the hands of the individual Member States and nation al legislators.
Andriessen, medlem af Kommissionen. — (NL) Jeg skal nok holde mig til taletiden, hr. formand, om end de overvejelser, der er fremsat af det ærede medlem, hr. Notenboom, samt de bemærkninger, der blev fremsat om bøger, godt kunne forlede mig til at frem sætte vidtløftige bemærkninger.
takes integration policy for the small and mediumsized undertakings seriously — I should nevertheless like to ask the Commissioner whether he can explain how the work is divided up between Mr Davignon and himself.
Jeg vil tage hensyn til den disponible tid og forsøge at svare kort og fyndigt på de bemærkninger, der i dag er blevet fremsat om bøger.
He left the temple and Joseph thought that the child was with Mary and Mary that he was with Joseph and they both calmly went home, but the child was lost.
Det koster mig ganske vist en del anstrengelser i betragtning af den store betydning, Parlamentet synes at tillægge betydningen af bøger i kulturel sammenhæng.
I also hope that the Commissioner does not take it amiss but I should like to use this example to ask you if you would be so kind as to explain how your work is divided up.
Hr. formand, det centrale spørgsmål med hensyn til bøgerne er: er deç nødvendigt med særlige foranstaltninger og, i bekræftende fald, hvorledes kan de foranstaltninger så, hvis de er af national art — og efter min mening bør de under den nuværende situation primært være af national art ·— indpasses i Fællesskabets retsregler, a) hvad angår konkurrence aspektet og b) hvad angår fri bevægelighed for varer.
For this reason, this debate should first and foremost result in an appeal to the national legislators to put the general statements which have been made regarding the significance of the small and mediumsized under takings into practice, since it is so fashionable to say that small and mediumsized undertakings are extremely important from the point. of view of employment.
Kommissionen har i sin udtalelse af november forrige år udelukkende udtalt sig om den grænseoverskridende samhandel og ikke om noget som helst aspekt, som berører den nationale politik.
Indeed people virtually look to them alone to rescue us from the difficulties we are currently going through.
Hvad angår den grænseoverskridende samhandel, har Kommissionen måttet afgive en negativ udtalelse, fordi den mener, at Fællesskabets konkurrenceret ganske klart blev krænket i det omstridte spørgsmål. Dette spørgsmål er nu sub judice.
This is fashionable and many people have taken up the refrain that Mr Deleau has been teaching us for years now.
Personer, som berørtes heraf, har indbragt sagen for Domstolen, og det er ganske klart, at det er meget begrænset, hvad jeg har lov til at sige om denne sag for øjeblikket.
However, they should realize that, in many cases, they are working in precisely the opposite direction day by day.
Må jeg nu have lov til at stille et spørgsmål til hr. Narjes.
Finally, Mr President, I should like to speak very briefly on Amendment No 8 which was tabled by our Group.
Jeg ved, at medlem af Kommissionen, hr. Narjes, altid, også tidligere, har tillagt de små og mellemstore virksomheder stor betydning, og han er nu, sammen med medlem af Kommissionen, hr. Davignon, ansvarlig for dette område.
The aim of this amendment is to draw' attention to the points included in the Report of 1978 on small and mediumsized undertakings, which was adopted virtually unanimously by Parliament at that time.
Man skulle tro, at det ville forøge deres indflydelse.
On that occasion, the Commission made certain promises but it has not so far kept them all.
To mennesker i stedet for ét i Kommissionen bestående af 14 kommissærer, to mennesker, der er ansvarlige for de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
It has kept a large proportion of them, for which I should like to thank it, but it has nevertheless not yet kept some of them, and this is what Amendment No 8 is about.
Men jeg vil alligevel gerne bede kommissæren, om han kan forklare mig, hvordan arbejdet er fordelt på ham og hr. Davignon.
The final indent need not be included, since this point is already contained in the report.
Jeg vil ikke profanere bibelen, men jeg måtte tænke på historien om Jesusbarnet i templet.
However, this will probably have to be done by voting against it, since an amendment cannot be revised orally.
Jeg håber heller ikke, at kommissæren opfatter det som en fornærmelse, men jeg vil gerne benytte dette eksempel til at bede Dem om at forklare os Deres arbejdsdeling.
It also promised to look into the situation in Canada where legislation is in force providing for a set maximum of administration charges to be borne by an undertaking and we have not yet received this report.
Og endelig, hr. formand, vil jeg ganske kort begrunde ændringsforslag nr. 8, som er fremsat af vor gruppe.
President. — I call the Commission.
Formålet med ændringsforslag nr. 8 er at henlede opmærksomheden på de punkter, der var medtaget i betænkningen af 1978 om de små og mellemstore virksomheder, en betænkning, som var lige ved at blive godkendt enstemmigt af hele Parlamentet.
I personally think that if nationalization is carried out on a very large scale and on the basis of all too facile arguments, the people responsible cannot, fundamentally, be on the side of the small and mediumsized undertakings, since an essential feature of undertakings of this kind is that they can grow, even if it is only very few of them which can grow to any great extent.
Det centrale spørgsmål i hr. Beumers indlæg til debatten, i hvert fald et af hans centrale punkter, var: kan boghandelen, boghandlerbranchen fortsat opfylde sin funktion uden nogen ordning om faste priser, uden nogen distributionsordning? Hr. formand, Kommissionen har ikke udtalt sig om dette aspekt.
Mr Andriessen, Member of the Commission. — (NL) I have no intention of going into the points raised by Mr Notenboom, Mr President, even though the honourable Member's speculation could of course lead me to speculate in turn at great length — even on the question of books.
Kommissionen har ikke udtalt sig om problematikken om, hvorvidt man kan gøre det på nationalt plan, men jeg vil her i dag gerne sige, at hvis man ønsker at gøre det, så er der under det nuværende retssystem flere muligheder hvis man gør det privat, individuelt end kollektivt.
I intend rather to take account of the time available to me and try and give brief and succinct answers to the points which have been made today regarding books, which will not be all that simple a matter, in view of the great importance which Parliament would appear to attach to the cultural significance of the book.
Hidtil har den grænseoverskridende samhandel været det grundlæggende problem for Kommissionen.
This might be regarded as an improvement in that there are now two rather than one Member of the European Commission responsible for the small and mediumsized undertakings.
Og alle de formelle og uformelle beslutninger, Kommissionen har truffet, og afslag, den har givet vedrørende dette punkt, har vedrørt dette aspekt.
However, without actually complaining — since it is indeed apparent from many directives, the Regional Fund and innumerable documents drawn up by the European Commission that it
Andriessen godt selskab blandt traktaterne.
I should like to make this quite clear.
Jeg har her på mig et telegram fra foreningen til fremme af nederlandske bøgers interesser, VBBB som vi kalder den i Nederlandene.
I have here, Mr President, a telex from the VBBB, that is to say the Association for the Promotion of the Interests of the Dutch Book.
Det er et telegram i anledning af nogle pressemeddelser, hvori der ordret står: »Kommissionens forordning ændrer ikke noget ved den eksisterende situation«.
This telex was sent in connection with press reports and states in so many words that 'the Commission's decision does not change the de facto situation'.
Hr. formand, dette er en udtalelse fra den interesseorganisation, som var offer for Kommissionens forordning; der står: »ændrer ikke noget ved den eksisterende situation«, og jeg antager derfor, at fru van den Heuvel har overdrevet en hel del i sin beskrivelse af de katastrofale følger, denne beslutning ville få.
This, Mr President, is a statement by the organization which was supposed to have been the victim of the Commission's Decision, which, I repeat, 'does not change the de facto situation', and I therefore assume that Mrs Van den Heuvel was exaggerating a little in her description of the disastrous consequences to which this decision would lead.
Det spørgsmål, hr. Beumers indlæg til debatten i forgårs først og fremmest var rettet imod, var, om der er mulighed for at få bragt en ved lov fastsat prisordning mellem de forskellige stater i stand.
The question on which Mr Beumer concentrated yesterday was whether it was possible to introduce a legally binding price arrangement between Member States.
Hr. formand, en sådan ordning skal altid prøves i henhold til artikel 30 om frie varebevægelser mellem medlems staterne.
Mr President, an arrangement of this kind would always have to be considered in the light of Article 30 concerning the free movement of goods between the Member States.
Jeg skal tilføje, at artikel 30 fastsætter en temmelig snæver ramme for en sådan løsning.
I might add that Article 30 provides a relatively limited framework for a solu tion of this kind.
Generelt set vil jeg gerne sige, at der sikkert ikke vil være nogen særlige problemer forbundet med at fastsætte en rimelig minimumsmargen for mellemhandlere.
I should like to say in quite general terms that reasonable minimum margins for distributive trade would probably pose the fewest problems.
I den forbindelse, hr. formand, er jeg, hvis medlemsstaterne ønsker at indlede drøftelser om dette punkt, hvilket de er i deres gode ret til at gøre, villig til fra min side at gå ind på spørgsmålet, og jeg har da også for Nederlandenes vedkommende, hvor problemet så vidt jeg har forstået er mest presserende, i mellemtiden udsendt en opfordring til at udveksle synspunkter om denne problematik.
With a view to this, Mr President, I would be glad, if the Member States would like to open consultation on this point — which it is their perfect right to do — to use my influence and for this reason, I have in the meantime, certainly, as far as the Netherlands is concerned, where, I understand the problem is most acute, issued an invitation to exchange views on problems of this kind.
Det er også Kommissionens mening, at problematikken omkring bogbranchen er meget alvorlig.
The Commission also takes the view that there are seious problems in the book sector and is prepared, within the framework of its patrimony as guardian of the Treaties, to look for solutions.
Næste spørgsmål.
Next question.
Er det muligt at træffe en ordning på grundlag af artikel 87?
Is it possible to introduce an arrange ment on the basis of Article 87?
Det spurgte hr. Beumer også om.
Mr Beumer raised this question too.
Hr. formand, anvendelsen af denne artikel er i sig selv juridisk set, principielt ikke udelukket.
Mr President, there is legally and in principle nothing to prevent us applying this Article —
Det vil jeg gerne slå fast.
Debates of the European Parliament
Men jeg spekulerer på om et middel, som er af en trods alt ret svær kaliber — så vidt jeg ved, er den pågældende artikel aldrig blevet anvendt eller måske kun et par gange — bør anvendes for at komme ud af det nuværende dødvande.
No 1-280/261 correctly lies — as it always has — with the Member States. Let there be no misapprehensions as regards the scope of Community measures.
Narjes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg takker først hr. Deleau meget hjerteligt for hans betænkning og hans forslag til beslutning.
Mr Narjes, Member of the Commission. — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to begin by thanking Mr Deleau most sincerely for his report and his motion for a resolution.
Dermed har han ydet et overordentligt grundigt og omfattende analyse- og syntesearbejde, som i den foreliggende form samtidig kan tjene som prioritetsliste i arbejdskalenderen for Kommissionens politik over for de mellemstore virksomheder. somheder.
He has done an extremely thorough and comprehensive job of analysis and synthesis which, as it stands, can be used as a list of priorities in the Commission's SMUs policy time table of work.
Og så spørgsmålet om forskningen. Hr. formand, jeg vil besvare det ganske kort, men jeg forsøger på Kommissionens vegne at tilrettelægge mit indlæg således, at jeg bruger tiden så effektivt som muligt.
Following on from yesterday's debate, I should like to say how pleased I am that the importance of an efficient internal market for the development prospects of small and mediumsized undertakings has been spelled out so clearly.
Dialogen mellem Kommissionen og Parlament begyndte i 1978 med en betænkning af hr. Notenboom.
The dialogue between the Commission and the European Parliament got under way in 1978 with Mr Notenboom's report.
Alt er ikke blevet gennemført så hurtigt og omfattende, som vi kunne have ønsket os det.
Unfortunately, things have not progressed quite as rapidly and as comprehensively as we would have wished.
Sidste november meddelte Kommissionen Parlamentet, hvor langt arbejdet var kommet, og det var min hensigt, uafhængig af stk. 8 i forslaget til beslutning, at foreslå, at der i økonomi- og valutaudvalget endnu før sommerferien tales indgående om de enkelte punkter på grundlag af en detaljeret betænkning om tingenes tilstand i politikken for de mellemstore virksomheder.
In November last year, the Commission informed Parliament of the progress that had been made so far, and it was my intention, regard less of point 8 in the motion for a resolution, to propose that the various aspects be discussed in detail in the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs before the summer recess by way of a detailed report on the state of the art of SMUs policy.
I den forbindelse drejer det sig for os om at sammenfatte aspekterne for mellemstore virksom heder i et større antal aktionsdokumenter — f.eks. vedrørende innovationspolitikken, Toldunionen, hjemmemarkedet og forsknings- og udviklingspolitikken — noget mere systematisk, så at de i deres helhed kan give et indtryk af vore foranstaltninger.
And it is precisely for this reason that we ary trying to reduce the border restrictions within the Community over a reasonable period ,of time to the importance of those between the Benelux countries, not only in the interests of the companies operating in the border regions, but also with the intention of encouraging a large number of SMUs to take the plunge and try their luck in other sections of the Community, in other linguistic areas.
Set i lyset heraf, hr. formand, vil jeg gøre en indvending imod det, fru van den Heuvel sagde.
I should like to draw you attention to one aspect which is particularly dear to me, i.e. the question of making it easier for people to set up in business on their own account.
Jeg må bestride, at Kommissionen, sådan som hun meget billedligt udtrykte det, skulle have anbragt Parlamentets beslutning i papirkurven, det er absolut ikke tilfældet, medmindre man da hælder til den an skuelse, at Kommissionen uden videre skal gennem føre det, Parlamentet anmoder om.
The obstacles placed in the way of such a move have become much more formidable in all the Member States over the last few years, not least because the increasingly capital-intensive nature of the production process has meant that potential smallscale businessmen are having to plough in an increasingly large share of their own capital.
