Der er også tegn på visse forbedringer af de økonomiske forhold i Det europæiske økonomiske Fællesskab.
There are some improvements to be noted in economic conditions within the European Economic Community too.
1210/84) af sir Brandon Rhys-Williams for økonomi- og valutaudvalget over meddelelse fra Kommissionen til Rådet om den økonomiske situation i Fællesskabet, i henhold til artikel 2 i afgørelsen af 18. februar 1974 om konvergens (KOM(84) 108 endel.).
1-210/84), drawn up by Sir Brandon Rhys Williams on behalf of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, on the communication from the Commission to the Council on the economic situation in the Community, in accordance with Article 2 of the convergence decision of 18 February 1974 (COM(84) 108 final).
Toñen i Kommissionens redegørelse er imidlertid for optimistisk.
The tone of the text of the Commission's report is, however, too optimistic.
Kendsgerningerne fremgår tydeligt af tabellerne på den sidste side.
The facts are made clearer in the tables on the last page of it.
Arbejdsløsheden i Amerika og Japan er nu faldende, men i vort Fællesskab er den stadig svagt stigende.
Unemployment in America and in Japan is now falling, but in our Com munity it is still slowly rising.
Verdenshandelen stiger i omfang, men vor andel er faldende.
World trade is increasing in volume, but our share of it is falling.
De midler, vi anvender på forskning og investering, er for få.
The proportion of available resources we are devoting to research and to investment is much too small.
Det, der mangler, er tillid.
The missing element is confidence.
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams (ED), ordfører. - (EN) Hr. formand, Jeg har haft den lykke i de forløbne 11 år at være medlem af økonomi- og valutaudvalget.
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams (ED), rapporteur. — Mr President, it has been my good fortune to serve in the past 11 years as a member of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.
Det var en særlig ære, da mine kolleger opfordrede mig til at være ordfører for den sidste række af vore betænkninger her i Parlamentet om den økonomiske situation i Fællesskabet.
It was a particular honour to be asked by my colleagues to act as rapporteur for the last of our series of reports in this Parliament on the economic situation in the Community.
Jeg opstiller ikke til næste måneds valg, og dette er den sidste opgave, jeg har ansvaret for som medlem af Europa-Parlamentet.
As I am not standing in next month's elections, this is the last serious responsibility I shall undertake as an MEP.
Da jeg i januar 1973 blev medlem af udvalget, var Bretton Woods-aftalerne om fastlæggelsen af en økonomisk orden for den frie verden endnu ikke brudt helt sammen.
When I joined the committee in January 1973, the Bretton Woods Agreement setting up an economic order for the free world had still not completely broken down.
Mange troede, at den ordning med faste valutakurser og en nabovenlig økonomisk poli
Many people believed that the discipline of fixed exchange rates and the goodneighbour economic policies adopted at the end of the war could be put back in place.
Der er stadig for mange faktorer, der hindrer en gen rejsning af europæisk økonomi.
Because we have not fully learned the lessons of the period of economic nationalism which damaged our economies so terribly 50 years ago, we are still repeat ing our mistakes.
Vi må spørge os selv, hvad grunden er. Det er ikke, fordi vore økonomier er for snævert forbundet eller harmoniseret i henhold til traktatens bestemmelser.
But we do not have to.
Det skyldes, at vor europæiske økonomi stadig splittes op af hindringer for den fuldstændigt frie bevægelighed af varer og kapital, og det skyldes forskelle i skatter og afgifter samt usikkerhed på valuta- og renteområdet, som er et resultat af den vedvarende og nationalt betingede sty ring af europæisk handel og industri både i den of fentlige og den private sektor.
The free world has largely come to terms with the return of high-cost energy, but we still have to tackle the problems of unstable exchange rates and anomalous monetary conditions in the financial centres of the free world, including those within our own Com munity, which make it difficult to embark on econo
Jeg vil geme på det varmeste anbefale hr. kommissionsmedlem Ortoli, hr. Herman, hr. von Bismarck og sir Brandon Rhys Williams at læse denne bog med stor opmærksomhed, så de fatter, hvor stort et spille rum der er for en ændring af den økonomiske politik, som føres i Fællesskabet i dag, og for en ekspansiv finanspolitik i de to lande, som har et sådant spille rum, nemlig Tyskland og England.
Another important point is that the existing structural budgetary deficits, when adjusted to allow for the effects of inflation and the recession, are positive, in other words, they are actually surpluses, so that there is considerable scope for pursuing an expansionist financial policy, i.e. for boosting demand by lowering taxes or increasing public expenditure.
Denne undersøgelse viser især, at de produktionsmidler — kapital og arbejde — som de to fællesskabs lande, som jeg henviste til — Tyskland og England, men også Holland — råder over i dag, tillader et langt højere efterspørgsels-, produktions- og beskæftigelses niveau, end det, Fællesskabet har på nuværende tids punkt.
records its dissatisfaction with the low level of cooperation between Member States in formulating their monetary, economic and fiscal policies, but recognizes that in many instances the governments of the Member States are pursuing the commitments on which they were elected; stresses the extent of the danger to the econo mic achievements of the Community of separatist and protectionist trends, and trusts that the Community electors will continue to recognize the economic benefits to be gained through the achievement of European union.
Et andet vigtigt punkt er de bestående strukturelle budgetunderskud.
Lastly, the coordinated application of financial policy avoids any balance of payments risks.
De er efter at være blevet korrigeret for inflation og depression negative, dvs. at de egentlig er budgetoverskud.
It is difficult, Mr President, for people who are aware of economic facts to deny these simple economic truths.
Der er derfor tilstrækkeligt spillerum for en ekspansiv finanspolitik, som styrker efterspørgslen, gennem skattelettelser eller en forøgelse af de offentlige udgifter.
When they do so, it is in order to cover up the fundamental ideological shift which their espousal of monetarist dogma has imposed on them.
Jeg håber, min betænkning vil blive tiltrådt af Parla mentet.
It is in fact the first time since the war that the European Right denies that the State, with the economic policy it pursues, is responsible for economic activity and employment.
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams er som ordfører for økonomi- og valutaudvalget fortaler for denne nye ånd hos det europæiske højre.
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams, as the rapporteur of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, is the spokesman of this new spirit of the European Right.
Det er et politisk budskab før valgene, at den socialistiske gruppe stemmer imod sir Brandon Rhys Williams' betænkning.
In voting against the report by Sir Brandon Rhys Williams, the Socialist Group is issuing a message before the elections.
Vi socialister står på de arbejdsløses side, hvor og når vi er ved magten.
We Socialists, wherever and whenever we are in power, side with the unemployed.
Papantoniou (S). — (GR) Hr. formand, jeg føler mig fristet til at gentage forskellige punkter fra mine be mærkninger i marts til hr. Hermans betænkning.
Mr Papantoniou (S). — (GR) Mr President, I am tempted to repeat some points from my speech on the Herman report last March.
Scenen er faktisk uændret.
In fact, the background is still the same.
Fællesskabets økonomiske og sociale situation er stadig væk dårlig, indholdet af sir Brandon Rhys Williams betænkning er i store linjer det samme som i Hermans betænkning, og der ser ikke ud til at være sket nogen væsentlig ændring i den økonomiske politik hos de lande, som er i stand til at ændre deres økonomiske politik.
The economic and social situation of the Community remains grim, the basic points in the report by Sir Brandon Rhys Williams are close to those in the Herman report and, lastly, there seems no hope of a real change in the economic policies of those countries which are in a position to change them.
von Bismarck (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, før jeg begynder, en bemærkning til hr. Papantoniou: jeg råder ham til at opsøge vor tidligere udvalgsformand, den nuværende franske finansminister Jacques De lors, og til at indhente oplysninger om de faktiske forhold fra ham, således at socialisterne ikke laver flere alvorlige fejl.
Three weeks ago the Centre for European Policy Studies published a remarkable paper by Professors Layard, Basevi, Blanchard, Buiter and Dornbusch entitled 'Europe — the case for unsustainable growth', which refers to the economic impasses into which the continuation of the current economic policy is leading and makes an urgent appeal for a change of course.
Center for European Poli cy Studies offentliggjorde for tre uger siden et bemærkelsesværdigt studie af professor Layard, Basevi, Blanchard, Buiter og Dombusch, som hedder »Europe the case for unsustainable growth«.
It obviously did this because it realized in a lucid moment that the European family of Ten in real ity had only a single joint future and that mistakes made in any one country were always at the expense of the other nine.
I dette studie henviser de til, at en fortsættelse af den nuværende økonomiske politik fører til en blindgyde, og opfordrer på det kraftigste til en kursændring.
I would warmly recommend Mr Ortoli, Mr Herman, Mr von Bismarck and Sir Brandon Rhys Williams to read this book very carefully in order to understand how broad the scope actually is for a change in the economic policy currently being pursued in the Com munity and for conducting an expansionist financial policy in the two countries where there is such scope, namely Germany and the United Kingdom.
For ti år siden traf Rådet den principielle afgørelse, at Kommissionen skal udarbejde retningslinjer for konvergensen og sammensmeltningen af de ti enkeltøkonomier.
Now, 10 years later, the question arises as to why the Commission, particularly in the last report which we are debating here today, feels it has to be so easy on the countries which have so far failed to follow up, or at least to follow up adequately, its excellent recommendations and hence failed to act in accordance with the interests of their citizens.
Rådet gjorde dette, fordi det åbenbart — sagt i spøg — i et lyst øjeblik havde erkendt, at De Tis europæiske familie i realiteten kun har én fælles frem-
If this should continue in this area as in practically every other, I am confident that it would encourage, indeed force, the next Parliament to exercise its right to dismiss the
C. En europæisk socialt virkende solidarisk markedsøkonomi har brug for en europæisk valuta, en valuta for alle, der kan beregnes, en beregnelig stabil valuta på verdensplan, styret af en central autonom myndighed og fastlagt med henblik på en bevaring af stabiliteten.
Commission, which would make it clear once and for all to everybody including the subsequent Commission that the Commission's authority derives from the Par liament and that the Parliament is the Commission's authority.
De, der fortsætter med at forsvare denne praksis, handler ikke blot i strid med deres egne bor geres, men med alle europæiske borgeres almene vel.
What, above all, must the new Parliament insist on in the field of economic policy?
Hovedårsagen, dvs. den skjulte egentlige årsag er åbenbart, at de herrer kommissærer ofte har rettet sig mere efter nationale end efter fælles europæiske interesser og normer. Hvorfor mon det?
Firstly, the market economy laid down by the Treaties is intended to be for the benefit of the citizens and must remain so or, more precisely, must move more and more in this direction, as Mr Lange has already said.
Hvad må det nye Parlament fremfor alt holde fast ved inden for den økonomiske politik?
Parliament, must, therefore, insist that in future decisions are taken in a democratic manner and in accord ance with the majority wishes of the people, so that our market economy may genuinely function in the social interests of everyone alike.
Vi — Parlamentet — har med Herman betænkningen på grandlag af det fælles memorandum af Ball-Albert givet Fællesskabet en parlamentarisk anvisning vedrørende den økonomiske og sociale po litik i de kommende år.
We in this Parliament have, with the Herman report which was based on the general opinion by Ball and Albert, stated our views as to what direction economic and social policy should take in coming years.
Kommissionen vil i fremtiden også blive vurderet efter, om og hvorledes den efterkommer denne parlamentariske anvisning. Videant cónsules.
One of the points on which the Commission will be judged in future is whether and how it follows Parliament's suggestions.
For det første : den i traktaterne fastlagte markedsøkonomi er tænkt som en borgerøkonomi og må for blive det, eller rettere sagt, må blive det i stadig høje re grad, som hr. Lange sagde det før.
Secondly, this market economy is defensible only if it has positive social implications — indeed this is what the parties to the Treaty had in mind. It must serve the social interests and welfare in the broadest sense of all concerned.
Bonaccini (COM). — (IT) Hr. formand, ærede kolleger, for første gang har vi som folkevalgte parla mentsmedlemmer den glæde at kunne drøfte konjunkturerne i vort Fællesskab i en situation, som ikke viser tegn på yderligere tilbageskridt, men som lader os skimte de første beskedne, men sikre tegn på et økonomisk genopsving.
Mr Bonaccini (COM). — (IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time in the life of this Parliament that we have had the opportunity of discussing the economic situation in the Community in circumstances which are not constantly worsening but allow us to glimpse a first few modest but sure signs of recovery.
For det andet : denne markedsøkonomi kan kun for svares som en socialt virkende ordning, og som en sådan er den også tænkt af traktatens parter.
Thirdly, how can this be done? On the one hand lively free competition is an essential feature of a market economy since only with this principle of free competition as its taskmaster, so to speak, can the selfinterest of those involved in the market be pressed into the service óf the common good.
Den skal stå i det almindelige solidariske velfærds i bredeste forstand sociale interessers tjeneste.
Only in this way does it lead to democratic freedom.
A. Markedsøkonomi kræver en levende, fair konkurrence.
Any degree of inflation is a threat to jobs — indeed, it is the mother of unemployment.
Kun derigennem og gennem denne hustugt kan den tvinge markedsdeltagernes egennytte til at tjene den almenvellet.
Inflation in one country also affects the other nine, it militates against mutual support and social interests and leads to the exploitation of the weaker sections of the population in the nine partner countries too.
Kun på den måde skaber den demokratisk frihed.
This is an area in which we feel a particular need for clarity on the part of the Commission.
Selv om vi endnu ikke står over for det vendepunkt, som vi alle ønsker, befinder vi os dog i en situation, som fortjener en nøje undersøgelse.
There is no doubt that company balance-sheets are improving, and not only in Italy.
Naturligvis har de oplysninger, vi råder over, kun midlertidig karakter, og derfor kan betænkningen kun være af foreløbig art: en mere tilbundsgående undersøgelse vil blive foretaget af det kommende Parlament.
It is also true that productivity is tending to rise in national economies and, I believe, generally throughout the Community. Moreover, some Community measures are allowing lost time to be made up.
Jeg tror imidlertid, at vi allerede i dag kan se visse tegn, som frem mer en lidt mere omhyggelig og avanceret opfattelse af de muligheder, der vil vise sig.
I am referring to the steps taken in the last few days in respect of an intervention programme in growth industries and advanced sectors, and I think the Commission should be urged to pro ceed further in this direction.
En række foranstaltninger i Fællesskabet vil i øvrigt gøre det muligt at indvinde en del af den mistede tid.
Whether this is being done well or badly is another matter, but at least it is being seen to.
Jeg tænker her på de foranstaltninger, der netop er truffet i de forløbne dage med henblik på et handlingsprogram for områder, der står forrest i udviklingen, og jeg mener, man bør anmode Kommissionen om at fortsætte ad denne vej.
A further prerequisite for a European market economy which is in the social interests of all concerned is a European currency — a common, stable and reliable world-class currency controlled by a central autonomous authority and based primarily on the maintenance of stability.
B. En socialt forpligtet markedsøkonomi har brag for stabile pengeforhold, en inflationsrate på nul, hvis udbytningen af de svage skal forhindres, som har deres opsparede midler derhjemme eller i sparekassen.
Finally, the cry of 'me first'! and the nationalistic vetos practiced by the Council have no place in a sociallyorientated and mutually beneficial market economy of this kind.
Social markedsøkonomi kræver en inflationsrate på nul, hvis arbejdspladserne skal være tilstrækkelige til at enhver, der vil arbejde, kan tilbydes et job.
Anyone who continues to defend this practice is working against the general interests not only of his own citizens but of the people of Europe as a whole.
Enhver inflation bringer arbejdspladser i fare, ja den er kilden til arbejdsløshed.
There can be no such thing as going it alone in future, since all the members of the European family
Inflationen i land 1 går også ud over de andre 9, er usolidarisk, asocial, bevirker udbytning af de svageste, også i partnerlandene.
From this point of view I must say that the Commission has done excellent work with the working document submitted to us, because it draws our attention to the main points very succinctly.
Især her mangler vi en tilstrækkelig klar udtalelse fra Kommissionen.
One of these is unemployment, which is on a par, so to speak, with the external factors affecting the policy of economic recovery.
Vi mangler tilstrækkelig tydelige ret ningslinjer truffet ud fra et socialt ansvar for de europæiske borgere.
The Commission documents states on page 4 that some policies applied — by the United States that is — threaten to jeopardize the growth capacity of the
Om det er godt eller dårligt at beskæftige sig hermed, er et andet spørgsmål. Sagen er imidlertid, at man beskæftiger sig hermed.
American economy and to encourage new protection ist presures, and further on it deals with the link with problems in the Third World.
Damseaux (L). — (FR) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, kære kolleger, jeg vil geme først over for vor kollega, sir Brandon Rhys-Williams udtrykke min anerkendelse af hans betænkning, der, selv om den har været vanskelig at udarbejde, udgør en god analyse af den seneste økonomiske udvikling i Fællesskabet.
Only by observing budget discipline and by reducing public sector deficits in the Member States with the weakest economies can we return to a healthy situa-
Det må med rette understreges, at Kommissionens reviderede prognoser for 1984 påpeger en række for bedringer. Der er ubestrideligt noget, der bevæger sig, og det i positiv retning.
Although we cannot fail to be pleased with any improvement, however tiny, in the economic situation of the Member States, they should beware of pursuing a recovery at the expense of Community solidarity.
På baggrund af dette synspunkt må jeg sige, at Kom missionen med det foreliggende arbejdsdokument har udført et glimrende arbejde, for det drejer sig om et yderst koncentreret dokument, som henleder vor op mærksomhed på væsentlige punkter.
Our debate today follows on a series of international meetings at which the problem was tackled without, I would say, producing any appreciable results, although progress is said to have been achieved behind the scenes.
Et af disse væ sentlige punkter er arbejdsløsheden på lige fod med, hvis man kan udtrykke sig således, de udefra kom mende faktorer, som betinger udviklingen af en økonomisk genrejsningspolitik.
If that is so, why not announce them pub licly, so that this climate of confidence to which Mr Rhys Williams referred is really created in the world economy as a whole?
På side 4 i Kommissionens dokument siges det imidlertid, at den politik, som De forenede Stater fører på en række områder, risikerer at skade evnen til økonomisk vækst i USA og fremkalde nye protektionistiske spændinger, og længere fremme behandles forbindelsen med problemerne i den tredje verden.
Until we know exactly what pro gress has been made, I can only say that serious problems remain, as the Commission's report points out, concerning the continuing great instability of exchange rates and also the enormous influence still exerted by the interest rates factor.
Men man må betragte disse optimistiske varsler med megen forsigtighed, for Fællesskabets præstationer ligger stadig under, hvad vore industripartnere yder.
The interdependence of our economies implies that there is a real recovery and naturally involves attempts to achieve greater cooperation.
Den forudselige forøgelse på 2 % af vort bruttonationalprodukt vil således være dobbelt så høj i USA og Japan.
This means that we must continue to pursue the establishment of a real internal market by demanding that protectionist arrangements of any sort should be dismantled.
Ordførerens henstillinger i forbindelse med konjunkturforbedringen er derfor fornuftige.
In the long run, the convergence of the economies of the Member States and the strengthening of the Euro pean Monetary System are the mainstays of our Economic Community.
En tilbagevenden til en sund situation vil kun være mulig ved hjælp af en budgetstramning og en ned bringelse af de offentlige underskud i de økonomisk svageste stater.
I think that we should once again express our support for the introduction of a convergence indicator or a system of 'warning lights' which, like the divergence indicator for currencies in the European Monetary System, would make it the Council's responsibility to make recommendations to the Member States con cerned in order to bring about the greatest possible degree of convergence between their economies.
Vi afholder vort møde umiddelbart efter en række internationale møder, hvor dette spørgsmål er blevet drøftet uden værdifulde resultater, skulle jeg mene, også selv om det bag kulisserne siges, at der er opnået fremskridt.
Up till now, Mr Rhys Williams, I have confined my remarks to the Commission document because I observe a certain disparity with your report.
Hvis der er opnået fremskridt, hvorfor så ikke fremlægge dem klart, således at det tillidsfulde klima, som Sir Rhys Williams omtalte, virkelig skabes inden for verdensøkonomien som helhed?
As I said in committee, I am aware of a difference which makes me appreciate the Commission's efforts and disap prove of certain points which you have decided to stress.
Indtil vi derfor får disse oplysninger, må jeg sige, at der stadig er alvorlige problemer, således som det frem går af Kommissionens redegørelse for så vidt angår de stadige store udsving i valutakurserne og den store indflydelse, som »rentefaktoren« har.
For example, when presenting the overall situa tion, you emphasize what you term 'anomalies' and continue to refer to them as such.
Det betyder, at man må fortsætte ad vejen til etablering af et virkeligt indre marked, idet man kræver afvikling af enhver form for protektionistiske fremgangsmåder.
In particular we should promote the entry of the pound sterling into the system and encourage the use of the ECU in both private and institutional transactions.
