På plussiden står også hensigtserklæringerne om den nødvendige standsning af protektionismen, en hensigt som en række lande som Japan skal omsætte i realiteter, for at den tendens, der synes at vise sig i Japan, men som fremdeles er for skrøbelig, kan sikres.
But what practical results are there to show for their having been impressed, Mr President, apart from the futile gesture of conceding that an international monetary confer ence could take place on some unnamed day and that coordinated intervention on foreign exchange markets could perhaps prove 'helpful' (that was the word used), but God knows when.
Endelig bør vi ikke skjule for os selv, at hr. Reagan udøver stærkt pres på vore lande, for at de skal føre en strengere sparepolitik på bekostning af nogle af de af en række af vore lande opnåede fordele. Heller ikke dette er tilladeligt i vore øjne.
Mr Glinne (S). — (FR) Madam President, Mr President, my dear colleagues, the Summit of the seven leading industrialized countries may well be neither a decisionmaking organ with formally binding powers nor an institution, but it is much more than an occasion for exchanges of views and consultations.
Når jeg derfor tager det, som Kommissionen netop har erklæret vedrørende de økonomiske aspekter, ad notam, så vil jeg dog gentage vor beklagelse af, at europæerne, uanset hvad De har sagt, ikke ved denne lejlighed har svaret tydeligere og mere energisk igen på de ameri kanske krav.
The majority of the Socialist Group do not believe — and they are saddened by this — that the Williamsburg performances of the Community representatives, whether of the Member States or of the Commission, showed Europe to be sufficiently independent and determined, sufficiently concerned for equality in cooperation, sufficiently capable of identifying the real priorities in relation to the present Administration in the United States.
Jeg mener, nemlig, hr. formand, at vi har midlerne til dette svar: vi har EMS, vor handelspolitik og også andre midler til imødegåelse af det amerikanske pres.
The disproportion of roles was clear in the procedure and even in the choice of topics for debate.
Men på minussiden skal opføres det forhold, at deltagerne ikke indgik nogen præcis og konkret forpligtelse.
Meanwhile, it is calculated by the competent authorities in France that every rise of 1,25 cents in the exchange valuation of the dollar increases the country's bill for essential imports by $260 million.
Det giver anledning til nogen bekymring, for de diplomatiets høflighedskrav må ikke skjule uoverensstemmelserne og heller ikke afføde falske forhåbninger.
The central bank in the Federal Republic of Germany is having to draw heavily on its reserves to protect the Deutschmark and is even said to be considering an increase in interest rates, to the detriment of any possibility of an economic recovery.
Det er faktisk påkrævet, at listen over Willi-amsburg-erklæringens meget rosværdige hensigter om et økonomisk genopsving følges op af et mindstemål af virkninger.
The overvaluation of the dollar is having disastrous effects on the price that we have to pay for our oil imports and on the circumstances of Third World countries with heavy debts.
I mangel heraf bliver topmøderne til illusionernes topmøder, og selve nytten deraf vil kunne drages i tvivl.
There are many other pernicious effects of such heavy dominance that I could mention if I had more time.
På dette område vil vi med opmærksomhed følge det effektive svar, der vil blive givet på visse punkter i Williamsburg-erklæringen.
President Thorn himself has just acknowledged that, in European eyes, and I quote, 'such a Summit should be focused on a dominant theme, namely expansion of the world economy', but the crucial fact is that the Reagan Administration did not accept this priority, either before or during Williamsburg, let alone what
Galland deres varer udgør jo et stort problem.
Glinne refined than that of my honourable colleague Ernest Glinne.
De smukke ord, der brugtes herom i Williamsburg, får efter min mening først betydning, hvis UNCTAD i Beograd foreslår noget, og her er forventningerne ikke optimistiske.
We agree with Mr Thorn that it has been an important summit and wish to congratulate him and the whole Commission on their thorough preparation and on the forthright way in which he represented the European Community in Williamsburg.
Er der, spørger jeg igen, indgået nogen konkret aftale herom?
There are signs now of a certain revival, a more optimistic atmosphere, albeit with many reservations.
Vil den nylig indførte nye franske sparepolitik være tilstrækkelig til at formindske »de strukturelle budgetmæssige under skud, navnlig gennem en begrænsning af udgifternes vækst«?
It is ideology, which can sometimes become a secular form of hidebound religion, that is leading the Reagan Administration to maintain that the free market can be relied upon to solve the problems, and to reject intervention on the foreign exchange markets and effective extension of regulation of the banking system to include international transactions.
Vil De Ti opgive deres tilslørede protektionistiske praksis?
The fact is, however, that the troubles from which we are suffering will not go away of their own accord.
Vil den fremdeles pris værdige hensigt, som de syv i Williamsburg lagde for dagen med hensyn til på handelspolitisk plan at indstille protektionismen, forblive et fromt ønske eller konkret blive efterfulgt af handling?
Washington's budget deficits, which it is currently running to the accompaniment of intensive anti-taxation demagogy, cannot be abhorrent when they are attributable to social spending and welcome when they are the result of increasingly massive military expenditure.
Mit tredje spørgsmål drejer sig om den europæiske sikkerhed.
In view of the long crisis behind us the time has come to take the issues discussed at Williamsburg and put them into action.
Til sidst, fru formand, tilslutter jeg mig dem, der her i formiddag har fastslået, at Stuttgart synes at være meget vigtigere for Fællesskabet end Williamsburg.
However, the statement by President Thorn, who has made a very strange journey, having left as a negotiator and practically come back as a general, does contain one lucid point with which our group, in the main, is in agreement.
Man må håbe, at man til sin tid kan bedømme dette mere positivt, end vi nu kan gøre det med Williamsburg. burg.
You said, Mr President, if I may quote you again, that 'the crisis in Europe presents structural characteristics which the recovery taking shape in the United States will not eradicate and which no national policy pursued in isolation can overcome'.
Bonaccini (COM). — (LT) Fru formand, på tærstelen til topmødet i Williamsburg sagde en eller anden, at mødet skulle tjene til at etablere en fælles forståelse og en strategisk enighed om vort samfunds fremtid.
You are right, the more so in that you add, with good reason, that Europe needs to integrate more fully if it is to defeat the crisis, but that this is not the concern of Western summits, but the task to be tackled at Stuttgart.
Thorn — er communiqueets sætning lidet forpligtende, pænere kan det vis ikke siges.
There are admittedly doubts as to whether it is wise from the institutional angle to discuss security and peace.
Der står: »Det er af afgørende vigtighed at få genoprettet sund økonomisk vækst i udviklingslandene ved at holde vore markeder åbne«.
But on the other hand it is unthinkable under present circumstances that the leaders of the Western world should meet and not discuss these matters.
Men lad os så som Gaston Thorn klart sige, at vort blik allerede er rettet mod Stuttgart.
But there are also other matters, such as the need for an international policy on the environment and on public health.
Jeg må sige, at desværre er der af »strategisk« kun fremkommet noget i ordets militære betydning angående problemer, der optager vort kontinent og alle nationerne dér.
These are vague statements of principle but nonetheless positive indications, which may help advance more international cooperation in the various spheres of preoccupation to people every where at the moment.
Fællesskabet må et skridt videre end simpel udveksling af synspunkter; det er en af de gode ting ved Williamsburg, at dette møde var en god beredeise af jordbanden for Stuttgart.
We would happily forget Williamsburg if Stuttgart held out the promise of greater European cohesion and less competition between deflationary policies.
For de liberale og alle europæere vil skuffelsen blive umådelig og konsekvenserne alvorlige, hvis Stuttgart går hen og bliver endnu en forpasset chance.
The tragedy of our Community and its Member States is perhaps that it looks elsewhere for justifications or stimuli and is unwilling to present the need for radical action to save ourselves in terms of the needs of our own people, who long for peace and social justice.
De Goede (NI). — (NL) Fru formand, de vestlige stats- og regeringschefers møde i Williamsburg har i det mindste udadtil udstrålet enighed, men om denne enighed går videre end til en analyse af problemerne, må betvivles, i hvert fald hvad angår de økonomiske problemer. For konkrete løsninger er man næppe nået frem til.
Mr Croux (PPE). — (NL) Madam President, our group's opinion on Williamsburg is perhaps more
Er der nu aftalt noget konkret herom? Spørger jeg kommissær Thorn.
And now we would like to ask a few questions on the follow-up to Williamsburg.
Aldrig har nogen dom været lettere og mere rammende. Faktisk forekommer den erklæring, der fremsattes ved afslutningen af topmødet, patetisk, og det gælder'også, hvis jeg må sige det, hr. Thorns officielle forsvar, især hvis man sammenholder det med baron Edmond Rothschilds realisme, da han dagen efter topmødet erklærede, at alle, der forudser et forestående amerikansk rentefald, tager fejl.
As you yourself said, Mr Thorn, the declaration of Williamsburg is very vague and reticent on the Third World and the debt situa tion of some countries, and this at a time when a new UNCTAD conference has opened in Belgrade.
Et andet punkt er udviklingslandenes stilling. Både deres gældsbyrde og de lave verdensmarkedspriser på
We have always maintained, and still do, that the main economic problems in the world cannot be solved by ignoring the tremendous problems in the Third World.
FORSÆDE: PIERRE PFLIMLIN Næstformand
We also see the confrontation of the President and Congress.
Det er paradoksalt at sætte gang i en undersøgelsesgruppe, efter Versailles, der når frem til konklusioner med hensyn til valutastøtte, der er stik modsat den, der bekræftedes i Williamsburg, og som der så i slutcommuniqueet ses bort fra med løftet om, at denne gruppe fortsat vil undersøge de samme ting, og man ved ikke hvor længe.
The real problem here is that we have not got an agreed analysis of the problem either economically or politically. When we get that in our two institutions — in the Commission technically and in the Parliament politically — we can then put it to our Member States and they can then go off to a summit and they can then get agreement.
Men det er helt sikkert, at det er uacceptabelt mangelfuldt. Det er tyndt med hensyn til vore folks akutte økonomiske problemer og også meget svære internationale økonomiske problemer som dem, sir Fred Catherwood talte om for lidt siden.
We are very worried about what is happening to the export act.
Men i Williamsburg blev nødvendigheden af en koordinering af den økonomiske politik erkendt.
But the most important decision, Mr President of the Commission, and I would also address the Council, the most important decision is the final part of your declaration, namely Stuttgart.
Det var et vagt, men væsentligt frem skridt.
We must always ensure continuity in world events.
Det europæiske Fællesskab bør organisere sig, så det kan påtage sig et førende initiativ i disse bestræbelser og for internationalt at indføre denne påkrævede koordinering. nering.
Parliament has repeatedly called for action over the last few months, and will do so again tomorrow in important urgent debates.
Med dette som udgangspunkt vil jeg gerne fremsætte følgende meget generelle bemærkninger:
Now it is alright to say that the conditions are not the same as those for Bretton Woods and, of course, that is absolutely true.
Min første bemærkning er, at der er stor uenighed, afstand, tomrum mellem på den ene side de strømninger, vi ser i Europa-Parlamentet og også i Kommissionen, og på den anden side regeringernes beslutninger og aktiviteter og Rådets, og — er jeg bange for — også de meninger, som ofte er fremherskende inden for de politiske partier i vore lande.
If we do not make considerable progress in Stuttgart in starting lasting action in the important areas just mentioned, then difficult times undoubtedly lie ahead for the Community.
Det er nødvendigt, at dette tomrum udfyldes.
It is always said that Europe is our only alternative.
Det vil sige, at der vil ske en stagnation med hensyn til de store økonomiske problemer, vi står overfor.
We often get the impression that our heads of state and governments are too concerned, understandably, with their national problems and too little involved in developments in Europe.
Manglen på en analyse, som sir Fred Catherwood talte om, er det endelige politiske problem, og derfor lægges der et stort ansvar på regeringer og politiske partier.
We urge the Commission and the representatives of the Council and the German presidency to do everything possible in the remaining days to make Stuttgart a real milestone in the development of the Community.
Hr. Thorn, til Dem vil jeg gerne sige: Og hvad med Europa?
Now it seems to me that we must recognize that Bretton Woods gave us actually the greatest increase in trade, in wealth and in employment in the entire history of the world.
Europa, dets identitet, dets vilje til at hævde sig som en stor fredselskende kraft, der er kulturelt åben for fremskridt og for historisk forståelse?
So we cannot simply say oh well we cannot have another Bretton Woods.
Europa har de masser af arbejdere fra alle de europæiske lande, der i de sidste dage er stævnet mod Stuttgart, repræsenteret. Alt det i Williamsburg har ikke været i søgelyset, og det gør, at man tvivler om, at Stuttgart kan komme det om en uge.
The fact is that if we do not put Bretton Woods right ; if we do not revise Bretton Woods for the existing situation, what we have left over from Bretton Woods will actually disappear.
Jeg håber, at jeg får uret, men medens angrebet mod dollaren raser, laller Europa.
The system of Bretton Woods is now at risk.
Det er den tragiske virkelighed!
We have unemployment at 32 million in the OECD.
Min tredje bemærkning angår det europæiske monetære system. Konvergensen i det europæiske monetære systems teknisk-politiske organers aktiviteter og de nødvendige politiske beslutninger bør forstærkes.
But that represents a still functioning system.
Vi afviser et sådant billede og en sådan hypotese om Europa til fordel for et Europa, der modigt skaber sin enhed og dermed også sin stærke evne til at træde op med alle de øvrige realiteter og alle de øvrige industri lande eller andre lande.
Sir Fred Catherwood (ED). — President Thorn has told us this morning that nothing happened at Williamsburg and we expected nothing and we got
tilføjer, vi gentager sammen vor pligt til at formindske de foreliggende strukturelle underskud på budget terne. Det er første gang, at De forenede Stater accepterer at formindske deres underskud på budgettet.
Catherwood say to the farm lobby, I appreciate what the common agricultural policy has done but for goodness sake we must not put the 90 % of our trade which is not agricultural at risk because of a subsidy war with the United States in agriculture.
Men vil de gøre det?
That is absolute madness.
Det er en anden sag, det indrømmer jeg.
If we do that there will be a great deal to answer for.
Thorn, formand for Rommissionen. — (FR) Hr. formand, mine herrer, ganske kort skal jeg takke alle, der har taget ordet under denne interessante forhandling.
we do not put that right within the next year then we are going to be answerable for the immense damage that will come.
Jeg skal blot fremsætte nogle berigtigelser uden at gå i enkeltheder, idet jeg ikke har nogen Williams-burg-politik at forsvare.
So we cannot look at this summit and say unfortunately the summit did not work ; unfortunately we cannot have another Bretton Woods because the system has changed.
Min opgave her i formiddag var blot at aflægge en beretning om¿ hvad der er blevet sagt.
We must, as these two institutions — the Commission and the Parliament — find answers.
Det er ikke vor politik, hverken Fælles skabets eller Kommissions, det drejer sig om her, eller som det drejede sig om i Williamsburg.
Finally, I think we have got to have a short-term economic relance which is not entirely based on the enormous deficit of the United States which is most unhealthy.
Vil proceduren blive styrket med henblik på fremme af konvergensen i resultaterne af vor økonomiske politik?
So, President Thorn, those are a few concrete ideas.
Vi må ikke glemme, at også vi står for skud, og at vi skal forbedre vekselkursernes stabilitet. Vi er indstillet på at iværksætte samordnede interventioner på valutamarkederne, hvis det skulle vise sig nødvendigt.
I think we must get those ideas agreed within the next year so that when the London Summit comes we have something in London that can be signed by all those people on a piece of paper.
Her har vi altså begyndelsen til en strategi. Kun fremtiden kan sige os, om alt dette vil blive overholdt.
We hope we will all be back here in a year's time and we will welcome from you, President Thorn, a response on how successful the London Summit, has been in implementing all the things that you and we have decided between us.
Skuffelsen kan være stor, hvis forhåbningerne var store.
The currency stability that we used to have, when the dollar was a stable currency, has gone and we have got to have that currency stability back again.
Der blev udvekslet synspunkter i forbindelse med en analyse af situationen og om den kurs, der skal følges fremover.
We cannot maintain free trade without that currency stability.
Jeg tror imidlertid, at man skal tage tre stadier i betragtning: topmødets for beredeise, selve topmødet og det efter følgende arbejde.
The pressures of protectionism will go on so long as the United States dollar can be carelessly overvalued and the yen carelessly undervalued.
Endnu et ord om udviklingslandene.
That is going to put immense pressures of protectionism on us all.
Vi er som mange af de talere, der har taget ordet, også skuffet over divergensen i amerikanernes og vor opfattelse vedrørende den indsats, der skal gøres i forbindelse med udviklingslandenes gældsstiftelse.
And those of us who have to live in this particular business of international trade know those problems and they are not going away.
Men De kan være overbevist om, at Fællesskabet, de europæiske lande og navnlig Kommissionen har kæmpet og ligget i spidsen i kampen for at opnå endnu mere i denne sag.
We cannot recover the debts of the Third World or prevent bankruptcy of the Third World or prevent bankruptcy of our own banking system unless we recover.
Under forberedelsen var det vigtigt, at Fællesskabet var til stede for at samordne de fire deltagende medlemsstaters aktivitet og stillingtagen med de seks ikke-deltagende medlemsstaters.
Mr Piquet (COM). — (FR) President Thorn was relatively modest in what he had to say.
Den del af opgaven er blevet løst, og den tror jeg ikke man skal under vurdere.
I am almost inclined to congratulate him on this.
Aldrig tidligere har et topmøde været så godt forberedt fra vor side, og de ti medlemsstater er blevet informeret om de mindste enkeltheder og holdt underrettet om forberedelsen.
Not least because he spoke only of the economic and monetary problems, which is gratifying since the other problems do not come within our purview.
Vi har også forhindret, at nogle emner som dem, der medførte »efter Versailles-fiaskoen«, igen blev sat på dagsordenen.
However, I believe that you were right to be cautious, Mr President, because the results from Williamsburg are, to put it euphemistically, virtually non-existent.
Vi sejrede — men det sagde jeg måske lidt for diskret — med hensyn til dagsordenens udformning.
I for my part would submit that the lack of results cannot but give our Community cause for concern.
Jeg skal slutte med at sige, at der tales meget om den europæiske identitet.
I would suggest that the problem here is that we are bigger than the United States in world trade and more internationally oriented and, therefore, to some extent we have to give a lead.
Når man taler om valuta, siger man med rette, at vi skal have en europæisk reservevaluta, ECUen. Lad os derfor tale om denne identitet.
The trouble is that although we are 50 % bigger than the United States in world trade the USA still has 80 % of the world's reserve currency.
Selv om den britiske kollega, der efterlyste den, er gået, vil jeg gerne sige til ham, at det, for at vi på vor side kan understrege denne identitet, er nødvendigt, at Storbritannien tilslutter sig det europæiske monetære system.
So it has a completely disproportionate position in the world's reserve currency while still treating that currency as a mainly domestic United States problem.
Vi må begynde med os selv!
And that is the problem.
Det er derfor, det kommende topmøde i Stuttgart bliver vigtigere, for det er dér, man vil få at se, om der virkelig findes en europæisk identitet.
On the economic plane, Mr President, you said, broadly speaking, that Williamsburg was perhaps a little better than Versailles.
Jeg regner med alles medvirken til at overbevise vore regeringer om at gøre en alvorlig indsats, for ellers bliver det den store krise i Europa, og efter for beredelsesarbejdet at dømme må jeg sige, at jeg nærer den største frygt i så henseende.
My view is that in fact, despite the commitments entered into, this summit at Williamsburg produced no more positive, concrete results than the one at Versailles, and we can only deplore the fact.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
Well there are some very straightforward things that we should do.
Transport af farligt affald (fortsættelse)
From now on, therefore, countries in Europe will be having to meet a substantially heavier bill than hitherto, because of this American policy.
Under topmødet i Williamsburg er klimaet blevet forbedret. Blev det et stort topmøde, blev det en succes?
It is ridiculous that we should be arguing about the fine points of the GATT and the little nuances of the GATT while these enormous things, like the rates of interest in the United States and the stability of currency between the United States and the European system, are not in negotiation.
Kun fremtiden kan give os svaret.
We have go to put those back into negotiation.
Glem ikke, mine damer og herrer, at Versailles på en måde var et godt topmøde. Det var i tiden derefter, fjorten dage efter, 34 uger efter, at man indså, at amerikanerne ikke holdt sig til klimaet fra Versailles; det erindrede De om for lidt siden.
Moreover, it is significant — if we cast our minds back — that the boycott was declared immediately after a summit at which an effort was supposed to have been made to improve the monetary situation.
De greb ind på den måde, vi nu kender. For at bedømme Williamsburg må vi altså vente.
The dollar is continuing to rise, breaking one record after another, as we are constantly told, and unfortunately there seems to be no end in sight.
Vil den forståelse, der syntes at herske, fortsætte?
This is unacceptable to our countries.
Vil den afføde mere sammenhæng, eller kan den ikke tåle tidens tand?
And then we must not allow the subsidy war in agriculture which we have with the United States to sour our relations with the United States.
Nr. 1-300/107 mentet har vist, hvordan man omgås disse ting ansvarsbevidst.
No 1-300/107
