I de seneste ti år har vi i Flandern magtesløst måttet se på, hvordan filialer af multinationale selskaber uden at rådspørge de involverede parter, uden at underrette arbejdstagerne, uden at give meddelelse til de nationale institutioner for social sikring pludselig lukker deres virksomheder for at investere deres fortjenester fra de golden sixties et andet sted, ofte i den tredje verden hvor nøden er stor, og hvor arbejdstageren er endnu mindre beskyttet.
Over the past ten years, we in Flanders have had to stand idly by while subsidiaries of multinational concerns, without any information or consultation of the workforce and in the absence of any prior notification of national social security authorities, simply up and went away, making off with the profits of the 'golden sixties' destined for investment elsewhere, more often than not, in the Third World where poverty is endemic and worker protection almost non-existent.
Således erfarede de 905 arbejdstagere i Citroen Vorst den 17. december 1980, at de blev afskediget pr. 31. december, fordi den franske Peugeot-gruppe lukkede, virksomheden uden nogen som helst forklaring.
Thus, on 17 December 1980, the 905 members of the workforce at the Citroen assembly plant in Vorst/Forest on the outskirts of Brussels were informed that they were to be laid off within two weeks, as of 31 December, because the parent concern, the French group, Peugeot, had unilaterally decided to close down the operations of the plant.
Således erfarede 750 arbejdstagere i Sylvania Tienen den 14. marts 1980, at det ameri kanske moderselskab Telephone and Electronics Corporation den 4. april ville indgå en salgsaftale med et andet multinationalt selskab, Thomson Brandt, for at forhindre, at virksomheden blev overtaget af et tredje multinationalt selskab, det japanske Toshiba.
In like vein, 750 workers at the Sylvania factory in Tienen, Flanders, were told on 14 March 1980, that the US parent concern, 'Telephone and Electronics Corporation', had agreed terms for the sale of their Belgian subsidiary to the French multinational 'Thomson Brandt' as of 4 April 1980, in order, as officially declared, to prevent absorption of the firm by the Japanese multinational 'Toshiba'.
I kampen mellem tre giganter blev arbejdstagerne ikke regnet for noget. De blev uden videre sat på gaden.
In the infighting between these three multinational giants, the workforce was quite simply dispensable, and thrown on to the street.
I januar 1980 erfarede de 2 170 arbejdstagere i British Leyland i Seneffe, at fabrikken skulle lukkes i slutningen af marts 1981.
In January 1980 the total workforce of 2 170 at the British Leyland assembly plant in Seneffe, Wallonia, heard that they were to lose their jobs as a result of the planned closure at the end of March 1981.
Meddelelsen nåede dem imidlertid ikke gennem samarbejdsudvalget eller delegationen fra fagforeningen, de ved lov fastsatte retmæssige kanaler, men gennem en meddelelse i den britiske presse.
The remarkable aspect of this closure was the manner in which the workforce heard the news. This took place, not via the legally ordained means of the works' council, but rather through a report in the British press.
I Bornem blev i kosmetikfirmaet Avon's 55 arbejdstagere, størstedelen kvinder, sendt hjem uden nogen forudgående meddelelse.
Fifty-five workers, mostly female, at the American-owned cosmetics firm Avon in Bornem, Flanders, were laid off without any of the consultation procedures having been ful filled.
Bagefter har det vist sig, at beslutningen om rationalisering allerede blev truffet i 1974 på hovedsædet i De forenede Stater, men at man i alle de år slet ikke havde videregivet oplysninger til den lokale direktion om den tilsyneladende blomstrende virksomheds fremtidsplaner.
Only some time later was it learned that the decision to rationalize had been taken as far back as 1974 by the head office in the United States but that future plans for what appeared to be a rather flourishing concern had been hidden from local management.
I oktober 1981 bekendtgjorde stormagasinet Sarma pludselig, at en femårsplan fra hovedsædet Penney i De forenede Stater omgående krævede hjemsendelse af 230 mennesker og førtidspensionering af 800 andre.
In October 1981 the retail chain Sarma, Belgium, announced that a fiveyear restructuring plan elaborated by the US parent concern, J. C. Penney, New York, would entail the immediate sacking of 230 workers in addition to the pensioning-off of a further 800.
Igen stod fagforeningsdelegationen og arbejdstagerne over for en fuldbyrdet kendsgerning.
Here again both union delegates and workers alike were presented with a fait accompli.
I oktober 1981 besluttede det amerikanske multinationale selskab Allied Chemical at lukke bilsikkerhedsselefabrikken Klippan i leper, og 500 arbejdstagere blev arbejdsløse.
In that same month, October 1981, the US-owned multinational 'Allied Chemical' decided to close down its car seat-belt manufacturing subsidiary, 'Klippan', in leper, Flanders, thus laying off its 500-strong workforce.
Uden forudgående information, uden chance for forhandling eller drøftelse.
And this took place unilaterally, without any prior information, leaving no hope for negotiations or consultation.
Måske forekommer min tale ensformig.
No doubt this litany of woes is getting boring, Mr President.
Så er den lige så ensformig som elendigheden og håbløsheden for tusinder af familier, som i de sidste par år blev kastet ud i arbejdsløshed og fortvivlelse af en beslutning, som blev truffet et eller andet sted på den anden side af Atlanterhavet i bestyrelsen i et eller andet kæmpeforetagende eller holdingselskab.
Just as boring as the misery and despair of the many thousands of families who, within the space of a few short years, have seen unemployment and desperation staring them in the face as a result of decisions taken in far-off lands by the board of directors of one or other mammoth concern or holding.
I det direktivforslag, som Kommissionen har forelagt os, ville jeg gerne have hilst et første tegn på respekt for arbejderne velkommen.
Thus you will appreciate that I had see in the Commission's original version of the draft Vredeling directive a first glimmer of respect for employment.
Men den fuldstændig svækkede version, som blev vedtaget af Parlamentet, dog uden socialisterne, svarer ikke længere til min forventning.
However, this completely watered-down version, which went through Parliament without the support of the Social ist Group, no longer fulfils my expectations.

Tyrrell (ED). — (EN) Hr. Viés betænkning omhandler spørgsmålet om, en hvorvidt Fællesskabet bør undertegne havretskonventionen på medlemsstaternes vegne, og i så tilfælde hvilken del den bør undertegne.
Mr Tyrrell (ED). — Mr Vié's report deals with the question of whether the Community should sign the Convention on the Law of the Sea on behalf of the Member States and, if so, which parts it should sign.
Det, forsamlingen desværre i dag har gjort, er, at den har vedtaget ændringsforslag, der henstiller, at Fællesskabet undertegner den, og som ligeledes henstiller, at medlemsstaterne undertegner den.
What the House has unhappily done today is to adopt amendments which recommend that the Community should sign and which recommend all the Member States to sign.
Rent faktisk har dette spørgsmål aldrig været til behandling i retsudvalget eller i noget andet udvalg.
In fact this question has never even been considered by the Legal Affairs Committee or any other committee.
Det er et vanskeligt og kompliceret spørgsmål, og der er tidspunkter, hvor jeg synes forsamlingen opfører sig med en helt utrolig mangel på ansvarsfølelse.
It is a difficult and complicated question and there are times when I think that the House behaves with a quite extraordinary irresponsibility.
Dette her er et sådant tilfælde.
This is one of those occasions.
Jeg beklager derfor, at jeg ikke kan anbefale min gruppe at støtte denne betænkning, som vi ellers under andre omstændigheder ville have været lykkelige for at støtte.
I regret therefore that I cannot recommend my group to support this report which otherwise, in other circumstances, we would have been only too happy to support.
Plaskovitis (S). — (GR) Hr. formand, jeg mener, det er påkrævet, at havretskonventi­onen undertegnes af det størst mulige antal lande og af flertallet af Fællesskabets medlemslande.
Mr Plaskovitis (S). — (GR) Mr President, I believe it is essential for the Convention on the Law of the Sea to be signed by as many countries as possible and by a majority of the Community's Member States.
Det er velkendt, at 119 lande allerede har undertegnet konventionen, heriblandt 5 af Fællesskabets medlemsstater. Den græske regerings repræsentant har undertegnet konventionen og der til knyttet en erklæring, hvori Grækenland gav Fælles­skabet fuldmagt inden for visse spørgsmål, som konventionen regulerer.
The Convention has already been signed by 119 countries, among them 5 Member States.
Ifølge denne fuldmagts natur og omfang har man bemyndiget Fællesskabet til at undertegne konventi­onen.
The Community is hence authorized to sign the Convention by virtue of the nature and scope of this competence.
Dette mener jeg er et positivt initiativ fra Grækenlands side til at fremme Fælles­skabets mål, og desuden mener jeg, at Fællesskabets undertegnelse af konventionen vil bidrage konstruktivt til en udvikling af forbindelserne mellem nord og syd og vil virke til gavn for de mindre udviklede lande i den tredje verden.
I believe that by doing this Greece has made a real contribution to Community objectives. Moreover, I think that if the Community signs the Con vention, it will be making a constructive contribution to the better development of North-South relations and will benefit the interests of the less-developed countries of the Third World.
Derfor vil vi trods visse forbehold stemme for Vié­beslutningsforslaget.
Therefore, notwithstanding certain reservations, we shall vote in favour of Mr Vié's motion for a resolution.
Lomas (S). — (EN) Jeg vil afholde mig fra at stemme i forbindelse med denne betænk­ning, fordi jeg har meget stærke forbehold angående de punkter, der omhandler Fælles­skabets rolle.
Mr Lomas (S). — I shall abstain on this report because I have very strong reservations about the paragraphs on the role of the Community.
Men jeg går ind for, at landene undertegner konventionen så hurtigt som muligt.
But I am in favour of countries sign ing the Convention as quickly as possible.
Den er ikke fuldkommen, men den er et skridt i den rigtige retning, og det er min opfattelse, at den vil føre til en langt mere retfærdig behandling, navnlig af de fattige lande i verden.
It is not perfect but it is a step in the right direction and I believe will mean a much fairer deal, particularly for the poorer countries in the world.
Jeg går ud fra, at medlemmerne overfor vil stemme imod.
I gather the Members opposite will vote against this.
Vayssade (S). — (FR)-Yix. formand, selv om proceduren allerede er påbegyndt, vil jeg, da Parlamentet endnu har mulighed for at afgive sin udtalelse til Rådet og til medlems staterne om betingelserne for en EF-undertegnelse af havretskonventionen, gerne have lov til at sige, at jeg og alle mine franske socialistiske kolleger er velvilligt indstillet til betænkningens vedtagelse.
Mrs Vayssade (S). — (FR) Mr President, although the procedure has already been set in motion and since there is still time for Parliament to deliver its opinion to the Council and Member States on the procedure for the signing by the EEC of the Convention on the Law of the Sea, I and all my French Socialist colleagues favour adoption of the report by Mr Vie.
Selv om den er ufuldkommen, indebærer konventionen alligevel meget positive momenter: definition af noget, der i fællesskab tilhører hele menneskeheden, samordnet kontrol med havets rigdomme, et nyt nord-syd-forhold og klassifikation og omdefinering af kystlandenes rettigheder.
Even if the Convention is imperfect, it does have some highly positive aspects: the definition of a common heritage of mankind and the concerted control of the resources of the sea, a new North-South relationship, a classification and redefinition of the rights of coastal States.
Den nuværende juridiske situation mellem Fællesskabet og medlemsstaterne er kørt fast.
The present juridical situation is one of deadlock between the Community and the Member States.
Der er fare for konflikt mellem fællesskabsretten om udøvelsen af de allerede i medfør af Rom-traktaten overførte beføjelser, og så de lande der nægter at undertegne konventionen.
There is a risk of conflict between Community law for the exercise of the auth ority already transferred by the Treaty of Rome and the countries which refuse to sign the Convention.
Med de vedtagne ændringsforslag er Viébetænkningen påbegyndelsen af en løsning of den indeholder henstillinger, der vil give mulighed for at følge sagens udvik ling. Derfor vil jeg stemme for forslaget.
Given the amendments which have been adopted, the report by Mr Vie represents a start towards new solutions and makes recommendations which will enable the whole matter to the followed up. That is why I shall vote in favour.
Moorhouse (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, i forbindelse med mit indlæg skal jeg gøre opmærksom på, at jeg i et vist omfang ikke kan være uvildig.
Mr Moorhouse (ED). — Mr President, in making my statement I have to declare a limited interest.
Den nuværende situation på det havretlige område er, som vi ved, resultatet af mange års tålmodige forhandlinger.
The present situation regarding the Law of the Sea is, as we know, the outcome of many patient years of negotiation.
Uden tvivl er der meget i konventionen, der bør støttes helhjertet af Fællesskabets medlemsstater.
Without a doubt there is a great deal in the Convention which should receive the wholehearted support of the Member States of the Community.
Blot må det beklages, at nogle af bestemmelserne med hensyn til dybhavsminedrift langtfra er fuldkomne.
It is only a matter of regret that some of the provisions concerning deepsea mining leave a great deal to be desired.
Faktisk har, som vi har hørt det, kun fem medlemsstater til dato givet udtryk for deres vilje til at undertegne konventionen.
Indeed, as we have heard to date, only five Member States have indicated their intention of signing the Convention.
Det er derfor jeg er af den opfattelse, at jeg må forbeholde mig min stillingtagen og med beklagelse stemme imod den udmærkede betænkning af hr. Vié.
It is for this reason, I feel, that I have to reserve my own position and with regret vote against the excellent report by Mr Vie.
Heldigvis er der en tænkepause på 2 år, inden konventionen skal ratificeres.
Fortunately, we do have a breathing space of twp years before the Con vention has to be ratified.
Jeg er af den helt bestemte opfattelse, at vi bør benytte os af denne mulighed til at sikre ændringer i konventionen, der vil bidrage til at skabe bedre rammer for dybhavsminedrift.
I firmly believe we must make the most of that opportunity to secure changes to the Convention which will help to set up a better framework for deepsea mining.
Habsburg (PPE), skriftlig. — (DE) Hr. formand, den foreliggende Vié-betænkning er et værdifuldt juridisk dokument, og som sådant giver jeg det gerne min tilslutning.
Mr Habsburg (PPE), in writing. — (DE) Mr President, the Vie report is a valuable legal document, and I therefore have no hesitation in approving it.
Under forhandlingen opstod imidlertid i mange tilfælde det indtryk, at en sådan tilslutning også gjaldt indholdet af udkastet til konvention. Den skulle også være et moralsk pres på de europæiske regeringer, der har nægtet at undertegne udkastet.
The debate sometimes created the impression, however, that approval of the report would mean approval of the contents of the draft Convention, that it would exert moral pressure on those European governments which have refused to sign the draft.
For at skabe klarhed vil jeg gerne slå fast, at hverken det ene eller det andet er tilfældet.
I feel it should be made quite clear that neither of these contentions is true.
Når jeg derfor stemmer ja til Vié-betænkningen, så er det ikke ensbetydende med, at jeg ikke af hele mit hjerte støtter den tyske og den britiske regering i deres beslutning om ikke at skrive under.
My vote for the Vie report, therefore, does npt mean that I dp not with cpnvictipn endprse the decision of the German and British Governments not to sign.
Jeg er af den opfattelse, at disse to regeringer har gjort Europas sag en bedre tjeneste end dem, der mener, at en konvention må støttes alene af den grund, at mange medlemmer af FN går ind for den.
I feel these two governments have done the cause of Europe a greater service than those who believe a convention must be approved simply because it has the support of many members of the UN.
Konventionen har gode enkeltheder, men de dårlige er i overtal.
The convention has its good sides, but they are outweighed by the bad.
Navnlig afsnit XI er farligt for Europas fremtid.
Title XI in particular is dangerous for Europe's future.
Jeg sætter min lid til vore folks og deres repræsentanters fornuft, således at disse alvorlige betænkeligheder vil blive inddraget i en saglig forhandling.
I. trust in the good sense of our people and their representatives and therefore believe that the serious objections to the Convention will have an effect in a debate strictly on the merits of the case.
Pery (S), skriftlig.,— (FR) Kære kolleger, hr. formand, De forenede Nationers tredje havretskonference fandt sted på Jamaica fra den 7. til den 11. december.
Mrs Pery (S), in writing. — (FR) Ladies and gentlemen, Mr President, the third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea was held in Jamaica on 7 to 11 December.
Denne konventions slutakt, der er blevet til efter ni års arbejde, fastsætter overhøjhedszonerne (12 sømil, 200 sømil og den internationale zone) og en ny økonomisk verdensorden til fordel for hele menneskeheden og i særdeleshed for udviklingslandene.,
The final act of the Convention which is the outcome of many years of work defines zones of sovereignty (12 miles, 200 miles and the international zone) and a new world economic order for the benefit of mankind as a whole and in particular of the developing countries.

Explanations of vote
Johnson (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil ikke sige noget om det meget vigtige spørgsmål om, hvorvidt medlemsstaterne bør eller ikke bør undertegne havretskonventionen — det er noget, vi allerede har drøftet i forbindelse med Vié-betænkningen.
Mr Johnson (ED). — I want to be silent, Mr President, on the very significant issue of whether or not Member States should or shpuld npt sign the Law pf the Sea Cpnventipn — that is spmething ypu have already discussed in the context pf the Vie report.
Jeg taler ikke her på min gruppes vegne — lad det være helt klart.
I do not speak for the group — let me be quite clear about that.
Hvis jeg skulle tale om det spørgsmål, så ville jeg ikke tale for min gruppe, for personlig er jeg af den helt bestemte opfattelse, at Fællesskabet bør være part i denne konvention, og at de enkelte medlemsstater bør underskrive den.
Were I to speak on that subject I would not be speaking for my group because I personally deeply believe that the Community should be a party to that Convention and that individual Member States should sign it.
Men det er min personlige opfattelse.
But that is my personal opinion. ·
På min gruppe vegnes vil jeg beskæftige mig med de andre sider af Spaak-betænkningen, som vi i gruppen rent faktisk går ind for, fordi vi mener, at de miljømæssige interesser bør beskyttes, bør tages med i betragtning, når det gælder minedrift på havbunden.
In speaking for the group I address myself to those other aspects of the Spaak report, which we in this group do indeed favour because we are concerned that the interests of the environment should be protected, should be looked after where the matter of seabed mining is concerned.
Der eksisterer en virkelig risiko for — og det er denne forsamling før blevet gjort opmærksom på — at der i forbindelse med det store såkaldte indre område kunne blive tale om et vildt kapløb efter havbundens rigdomme, der ville få det kapløb efter Afrikas rigdomme, vi var vidner til i forrige århundrede, til at se ud som det rene ingenting.
There is a real danger, and this has been brought to the notice of this House before, that as far as that great expanse, which is known as inner space is con cerned, there could be a scrample for the riches of the ocean bed which would make the scramble for Africa which we saw in the last century pale into insignificance.
Nu er der naturligvis lande repræsenteret i forsamlingen her i dag, som deltog i kapløbet om Afrikas rigdomme i sidste århundrede, og se hvilket roderi de fik skabt af det — nogle af dem.
Now, of course, there are countries represented in this chamber today who participated in the scramble for Africa in the last century, and look what a mess they made of it — some of them.
Skal der overhovedet være tale om et kapløb, så må det være et kapløb, der er underlagt regler.
If there is to be a scramble at all, it has to be an orderly scramble.
(Abrydelser)
(Interruption)
Det er indlysende.
That is perfectly obvious.
Vi kan ikke have, at de enkelte medlemsstater i Fællesskabet har forskellige regler.
You cannot have different Member States in the Community having different regimes.
Lad os se, hvad vi allerede har!
Let us see what we have got already!
Vi har reglerne om dybhavsminedrift i Storbritannien, i Tyskland har vi Schutz...
We have a deep-seabed mining provision in Britain, in Germany we have the Schutz ...
Jeg har tre sekunder til, to sekunder til, ét sekund til. . . hr. formand, jeg er færdig!
Well, I have three more seconds, two more, one more ... I have finished, Mr President.
Konventionen indeholder også et fuldt ud acceptabelt kompromis for havmiljøets bevarelse mellem kyststaternes interesser og sømagternes interesser.
The Convention also represents a perfectly acceptable compromise between the interests of the coastal States and those of the maritime powers for the preservation of the marine environment.
Selv om ordningen for den internationale havbund frembyder ufuldkommenheder og ulemper, vil disse kunne klares ved hjælp af de foranstaltninger, der træffes i forbindelse med konventionens gennemførelse.
Even if the arrangements applicable to the international seabed have certain imperfections and shortcomings, they can be corrected by the measures which will be taken for the implementation' of the Convention.
Fællesskabets medlemsstater er direkte interesseret i indførelse af en ordning for havbundens udnyttelse, fordi deres industrier er afhængige af eksterne forsyningskilder.
The countries of the Community are directly concerned in the establishment of arrange ments for exploitation of the seabed, since their industries depend on external sources of supply.
Det er vigtigt for dem at kunne deltage i udarbejdelsen af reglerne for konventionens gennem førelse med henblik på forbedring af betingelserne og for at gøre den acceptabel for alle internationale kredse og da i særdeleshed for De forenede Stater.
It is imperative for them to be allowed to participate in the definition of regulations for implementation of the Convention so as to improve its provisions and make it acceptable to the entire international community, particularly the United States.
