Derfor ville det være vigtigt, om De havde kontaktet repræsentanter for disse organisationer.
It was, therefore, important to meet the representatives of these bodies.
Den jugoslaviske regering har i maj 1983 besluttet at tredoble transitafgifterne for lastvognskøretøjer, der passerer dets territorium.
My second question is : are not these wines going to be competing, from an advantageous position, with wines grown and produced by traditional methods in Europe ?
Haferkamp. — (DE) I den samlede proces har vi konstant inddraget samdige sædvanlige instanser, især også medlemsstaterne, og vi anser det, vi her har opnået, for forsvarligt i enhver henseende.
Mr Haferkamp. — (DE) We have throughout involved all other bodies, particularly national bodies from the Member States, in the whole negotiating process, and we consider that what we have achieved is justifiable in every respect.
Jeg vil endnu en gang gerne minde om, at vi eksporterer 4 mio hl og importerer 75 000 hl.
I would say once again that we export 4 million hi and import 75 000 hi.
Det, vi nu har opnået med disse 75 000 hl — at de ikke må inde holde en række stoffer, der hidtil har været anvendt i amerikanske vine; at der for andre vine, hvor der er tvivlsspørgsmål, vine der efter Verdenssundhedsorganisationens og FAOs opfattelse ikke er sundhedsfarlige — hvor der altså er sat spørgsmålstegn — gives en overgangsfrist på fem år til nærmere undersøgelse af dette spørgsmål — anser jeg for vigtigt.
The concessions we have secured for these 75 000 hi represent, to my mind, a sizeable achievement : American wines will now no longer contain a whole range of substances they have contained hitherto ; whilst for other items on which there is doubt, but which the World Health Organization and the FAO, for instance, consider not to be hazardous to health, — in other words items over which a question mark hangs — we have obtained a transitional period of five years in which to examine this matter further.
Jeg tror ikke, at det er til fordel for vore vinavlere og vore økonomiske relationer med De forenede Stater, såfremt vi i betragtning af et handelsbalanceforhold på 4 mio til 75 000 hl standsede hele processen på grund af diskussionen om nogle stoffer, hvis skade lighed eller uskadelighed man er ved at undersøge.
Given a trade balance in our favour of 4 million to 75 000 I do not think it would be in the interests of our wine growers and our overall economic relations with the United States to stop the entire process of
Kontogeorgis, medlem af Kommissionen. — (GR) Kommissionen tilkaldte, kort efter at den i maj blev informeret om den betydelige forhøjelse af transitafgifterne for lastvognskøretøjer med udenlandske nummerplader, som var blevet besluttet af de jugoslaviske myndigheder, Jugoslaviens ambassadør hos De europæiske Fællesskaber og beklagede sig over for ham over denne stigning, det meget korte varsel om denne foranstaltning og det forhold, at det kun angår lastvognskøretøjer med udenlandske nummerplader.
tolls imposed by the Yugoslavian authorities on vehicles with foreign number plates, it summoned the Yugoslavian Ambassador to the European Communities and protested to him not only about this increase, but about the very short notice of the measure and the fact that it applies only to vehicles with foreign number plates.
Marshall (ED). — (EN) Mener Kommissionen ikke, at de forbrugere, der har den gode eller dårlige smag at købe amerikansk vin, gør det, fordi de rent faktisk kan lide det, og at det ville være helt forkert at begrænse forbrugerens valgmulighed ved at forhindre handel med dette måske fremragende sprøjt?
Mr Marshall (ED). — Would the Commision not agree that those consumers who have the good or the bad taste to buy American wine do so because they actually like the stuff and that it would be quite wrong to reduce consumer choice by preventing trade in this perhaps high-grade plonk ?
Jeg besøgte også Jugoslavien som leder af Kommissionens repræsentation for 14 dage siden.
Moreover, a fortnight ago I visited Yugoslavia at the head of a delegation from the Commission.
Dette besøg havde til formål at fremme samarbejdet mellem Det europæiske Fællesskab og Jugoslavien på transportsektorens område i overensstemmelse med artiklerne 8 og 9 i den økonomiske samarbejds aftale mellem Jugoslavien og Fællesskabet.
The purpose of the visit was to promote cooperation between the European Community and Yugoslavia in the transport sector, according to the provisions of Articles 8 and 9 of the agreement for economic cooperation between Yugoslavia and the Community.
Jeg havde drøftelser med den jugoslaviske transportminister og andre kompetente ministre.
I had talks with the Yugoslavian Minister of Transport and other competent Ministers.
Der blev drøftet spørgsmål af fælles interesse angående transport og naturligvis også problemet om transitafgifterne.
We discussed matters of common interest related to transport, including of course the problem of road tolls.
Haferkamp. — (DE) Forbrugerens svar ligger jo for øjeblikket i efterspørgslen på de 75 000 hl vin.
Mr Haferkamp. — (DE) The European consumer's reply is voiced at present in a demand for 75 000 hectolitres.
Den amerikanske forbrugers svar ligger i, at de importerer 4 mio hl.
The reply of US consumers is to import 4 million hi.
Dette taler efter min opfattelse entydigt for kvaliteten af de produkter, vi har at byde på.
This, I think, is a clear endorsement of the quality of the products we have to offer.
I øvrigt mener jeg principielt, at vi i disse som i andre spørgsmål må tage meget mere hensyn til, hvad forbrugerne ønsker.
Furthermore, I am convinced that in these as in other matters, we ought to pay far more attention to what consumers want.
Som oftest bliver i alle diskussioner det, producenterne inden for alle mulige sektorer forlanger af os, sat i forgrunden.
In all our discussions the focus of attention is usually the demands made of us by producers in all possible sectors.
Forbru gerne har desværre for det meste en for svag stemme.
The consumers' voice is usually too weak, unfortunately.
Hvis de havde en stærkere stemme, ville vi måske have færre bekymringer med megen protektionisme.
If their voice were stronger we would perhaps have fewer worries over cases of protectionism. tionism.
Vedrørende den seneste stigning, som Jugoslavien har besluttet, understregede jeg igen, at disse afgifter kun er fastsat for fremmede transporter, og at stigningen er meget stor og i høj grad belaster omkostningerne for de produkter, som transporteres gennem Jugoslavien, især landbrugsprodukter.
In connection with the recent increase in road tolls that Yugoslavia has brought into operation, I again stressed the fact that these tolls apply only to foreign carriers, that the increase is very large, and that it disproportionately inflates the cost of products transported through Yugoslavia, especially agricultural products.
Vi blev enige om, at eksperter fra begge sider bør mødes regelmæssigt for at drøfte spørgsmål af fælles interesse på transportsektorområdet.
We agreed that there should be frequent meetings between experts from both sides, to examine matters of common interest in the transport sector.
Inden for disse rammer vil sagen blive taget op og på ny drøftet af Kommissionens eksperter.
Within this framework the matter will be raised again and discussed by the Commission's experts.
Gautier (S). — (DE) To korte spørgsmål; Hr. kommissær, er De også bekendt med, at det f.eks. i landene i Det europæiske Fællesskab er såre almindeligt, at man lader vin løbe igennem asbestfiltre, hvilket normalt ikke er skik i De forenede Stater?
Mr Gautier (S). — (DE) Two brief questions : is the Commissioner also aware that, for example, it is currently common practice in the countries of the European Community to use asbestos filters for filtering wine, a practice not normally observed in the United States ?
For det andet: Mener De ikke også, at det i denne brev veksling om vin slet ikke drejer sig om kvalitet, men om en generel handelspolitisk aftale til forbedring af klimaet imellem De forenede Stater og Det europæiske Fællesskab på landbrugsområdet?
Secondly : would he not agree with me that this exchange of letters on wine is in no way concerned with qualities, but with a general trade agreement aimed at improving the climate between the United States and the European Community over trade in agricultural products ?
Haferkamp. — (DE) Det er givet, at enhver enighed om et handelspolitisk spørgsmål er en forbedring af klimaet, og jeg ville ønske, vi havde mere af det.
Mr Haferkamp. — (DE) Certainly, every agreement on a question of trade policy constitutes an improve ment of the climate, and I only wish we had more of them.
På den anden side har jeg netop, da jeg mindede om mine tidligere erfaringer, peget på, at vin hos os absolut ikke kun laves af druer.
On the other hand, by my allusion to earlier experiences I have already pointed out that we in Europe by no means make wine from grapes alone.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 46 af Papaefstratiou (H-306/83):
President. — Question No 46, by Mr Papaefstratiou (H-306/83) :
Forsendelse af tryksager og pakker er for det meste underkastet fri konkurrence.
Mr Contogeorgis, Member of the Commission. — (GR) Last March, as soon as the Commission was made aware of the very substantial increase in road
Aftalen om økonomisk samarbejde med Jugoslavien fastsatte en drøftelsesprocedure om emner af fælles interesse.
The agreement on economic cooperation with Yugoslavia provides for a negotiation procedure on matters of common interest.
Inden for disse drøftelsers rammer vil Kommissionen gøre, hvad den kan, i denne alvorlige sag.
Within the framework of this procedure the Commission will do all that it can for this extremely serious subject.
Hvad agter Kommissionen at gøre for at harmoni sere posttaksterne inden for Fællesskabet, og finder Kommissionen ikke, at de eksisterende forskelle virker konkurrenceforvridende og i strid med intentionerne om det indre marked?
What does the Commission propose to do to harmonize postal charges within the Community, and does not the Commission consider that the present discriminatory treatment has a distorting effect on competition and is incompatible with the plans for an internal market ?
Selv en harmonisering af taksterne alene for breve indtil 20 g og postkort afvises imidlertid i øjeblikket af regeringsrepræsentanterne.
At present, however, the government representatives are not willing to accept even harmonization of charges for letters up to 20g and postcards only.
For at kunne gennem føre en sådan harmonisering måtte man finde frem til en omkostningsdækkende gennemsnitstakst for alle medlemsstater.
In order to carry out such harmonization, a mean tariff for all Member States would have to be found which would cover costs.
Dette ville for de medlemsstater, hvis takster ligger over gennemsnitsværdien, forøge de tab, der allerede eksisterer, medens det for lande, der for øjeblikket har en lav indenrigsporto, ville betyde en takstforhøjelse, hvilket disse så igen anser for politisk uforsvarligt.
For Member States with charges higher than this mean tariff, existing losses would be made even greater, whilst for countries which currently have a low inland rate, this mean tariff would entail an increase in charges, which again would be politically unacceptable to the countries concerned.
Efter de gældende regler er der væsentlige afvigelser, for så vidt angår breve over 20 g og for pakkepost, alt efter om forsendelserne sker internt i Danmark eller til de øvrige lande inden for Fællesskabet.
There are significant variations in the rules in force for letters weighing over 20g and postal packets, depending on whether they are being sent to addresses in Denmark or to the other countries in the Community.
Kommissionen beklager derfor, at den må videregive denne meddelelse.
The Commission thus regrets having to pass on this information.
Den er kommet til den konklusion, at den først kan tage et nyt initiativ, når grænsenedbrydningen har gjort yderligere fremskridt, således at de konkurrenceforvridninger, der skyldes forskellige posttakster, bliver endnu mere synlige og mærkbare end i dag, og så der dermed opstår et harmoniseringspres på postadministrationerne.
It has come to the conclusion that it can only consider a new initiative once further progress has been made on the abolition of frontier structures. Once this is done the distortions in competition resulting from the differing postal charges will become even more obvious and apparent than they are today, and this will also mean pressure on the postal administrations to harmonize them.
Narjes, mellem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Kommissionen er enig med det ærede medlem i, at posttaksterne for forsendelser inden for en medlemsstat afviger betydeligt fra, hvad der forlanges for forsendelser imellem medlemsstaterne, og dette gælder især også for standardforsendelser, altså for breve over 20 g og pakker.
Mr Narjes, Member of the Commission. — (DE) The Commission agrees with the honourable Member that postal charges in the Member States for the internal service differ considerably from those levied on mail between Member States, particularly for standard items of mail, that is to say letters over 20g in weight and parcels.
Kommissionen ville i lighed med det ærede medlem uforbeholdent hilse det velkomment, såfremt det skulle lykkes at harmonisere disse takster inden for Fællesskabet.
Like the honourable Member, the Commission would be unreservedly delighted if efforts to harmonize these charges within the Community were to succeed.
Den har gentagne gange diskuteret dette problem indgående med medlemsstaterne regeringer, sidste gang i december sidste år efter en forhandling her i Parlamentet.
It has repeatedly discussed this problem in detail with the governments of the Member States, the last occasion being in December of last year following a debate in this House.
Resultatet også af de sidste drøftelser er desværre endnu en gang lidet opmuntrende.
The results of this last discussion are again not very encouraging.
For posttaksterne i de forskellige lande kan harmoniseres, må — efter alle regeringernes opfattelse — de omkostningsstrukturer, der bestemmer takstniveauet, tilpasses hinanden.
Before the postal charges of the various countries could be harmonized, or so all the govern ments believe, the cost structures which determine the level of postal tariffs would need to be aligned.
Omkostningsstrukturerne afhænger igen i vidt omfang af de konkrete vilkår for tjenesteydelser og postforsyning i det enkelte postvæsen.
These cost structures themselves depend to a large extent on the specific conditions governing services and postal deliveries in the postal administrations.
Tove Nielsen (L). — Jeg vil gerne takke kommissionsmedlemmet for et virkelig positivt svar.
Mrs Tove Nielsen (L). — (DA) I should like to thank the Commissioner for a very positive answer.
Hvis vi vil have det interne marked til at fungere, er vi også nødt til at tage fat på så vigtig en side som posttaksterne.
If we are to make the internal market function, we must also get to grips with an aspect of such importance as postal charges.
Der går jo utrolig mange postkort, breve og pakker af forskellig vægt over grænserne, og portoudgiften er en virkelig belastning for mange.
An incredible number of postcards, letters and parcels of various weights cross the frontiers, and postal charges are a real burden to many.
Skal vi have borgerne i Fællesskabet til at forstå, at de hører til et fælles marked, må de også i deres dagligdag mærke det.
If we are to make the citizens of the Community really understand that they belong to a common market, they must also be able to see it in their daily lives.
Kommissionsmedlemmet meddeler nu, at nian fra Kommissionens sid påtænker at tage et nyt initiativ, når man kan få medlemslandene til at acceptere, at der er nogle forvridninger, der skal klares. Jeg vil blot spørge: Hvor lang tid vil der kunne gå, før Kommissionen vil kunne fremlægge et forslag?
The Commissioner now informs us that the Commission is considering a new initiative, if the Member States can be persuaded to accept that there are certain distortions which need to be eliminated.
Kommissionen må ikke give op over for de oplysninger, der er blevet givet fra medlemslandenes side.
The Commission should not allow itself to be put off by the information supplied by the Member States.
Jeg skal blot henvise til, at i september stillede jeg nøjagtig det samme spørgsmål til Rådet.
I would simply refer to the fact that I put precisely the same question to the Council in September.
Desværre nåede vi det ikke i spørgetiden, og det skriftlige svar, jeg fik fra Rådet, var, at man ikke var blevet opfordret til at se på det.
Unfortunately it could not be included in Question Time, and the written answer I got from the Council was that it had not been called upon to look into the matter.
Derfor: frisk mod, gå løs på sagen!
So : don't lose heart, get out and have a go !
Hvornår sker det?
When will something be done ?
Jeg citerer blot, hvad medlemsstaterne siger til os, Endnu et synspunkt gøres gældende.
I am only quoting what the Member States have told us. They put forward a further point.
For at kunne klare sig i konkurrencen med private foretagender må man også tage deres ligeledes meget forskellige
Carriage of printed matter and parcels is in most cases the subject of free competition.
Narjes. — (DE) Mange tak for Deres gode ønsker, fru Tove Nielsen.
Mr Narjes. — (DE) We thank the honourable Member for her good wishes.
Vi har god brug for dem Vi tænker som det første på, så vidt det er os muligt, at under bygge næste initiativ med en slags sammenligning af omkostningerne ved postomdeling i medlemsstaterne.
We shall need them. What we shall do first, if we can, is to build up our next initiative on the basis of a kind of cost comparison of postal deliveries in the various Member States.
Denne sammenligning kan tjene til at vise postadministrationerne, der for øjeblikket afviser den fælles takst, fordi de mener derved at få påført yderligere tab, hvor de eventuelle rationaliseringsmuligheder
This comparison may help to show the postal administrations, which are currently against a common tariff because they fear it will mean additional losses for them, where possibilities for rationalization may perhaps lie.
Det er et spørgsmål om politisk opportunisme. Så snart vi i fornødent omfang kan udøve et harmoni seringspres, vil vi gerne tage dette tema op igen.
No 48, by Mr Rogalla, the time to be right for a new initiative vis à vis the postal administrations, It is a question of political timeliness, and as soon as we can exert sufficient pressure for harmonization, we should like to take up this subject again.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 48 af Rogalla (H-322/ 83):
President. — Question (H-322/83) :
Hvorledes stiller Kommissionen sig til medlemsstaternes argument om, at en række anholdelser i ømtålelige sager (f.eks. indre sikkerhed, narkotika, bestemmelser vedrørende udlændinge, våben osv.) hindrer en gradvis afskaffelse af personkontrol ved EFs indre grænser?
What is the Commission's attitude to the assertion by Member States that the progressive abolition of identity checks at the EC's internal borders would entail a number of encroachments into sensitive areas (e.g. internal security, drugs, immigration policy, weapons, etc.) ?
Råder Kommissionen over statistikker fra medlemsstaterne eller over egne undersøgelser, der f.eks. kan analyseres og vurderes i forhold til det nødvendige kontrolpersonale, og hvilke resultater har sådanne overvejelser sammenlignet med de tilsvarende tal fra USA eller den nordiske pasunion?
Does the Commission possess any statistics, either of its own or from the Member States, which could be gone through and assessed — to the extent that enough staff is available for the job — and could it then compare the results with, say, similar material obtained from the USA or the Nordic Passport Union ?
Rogalla (S).— (DE) Jeg vil gerne bede kommissæren om ikke at tage mit spørgsmål personligt, men i betragtning af det, han har sagt her, må jeg spørge ham, om han ikke med mig ser, hvor let gennemskuelig denne form for argumentation er.
Mr Rogalla (S). — (DE) I would ask the Commissioner not to take my question personally, but in the light of what he has said here I must ask him whether he acknowledges, like me, the feebleness of this type of argument.
Vil han i be stræbelserne på — som han netop har bekræftet — atter at tage et politisk initiativ på dette punkt bl.a. også overveje at anbefale postadministrationerne at gå frem etapevis?
In his eagerness to resume the political initiative on this point — which he has just confirmed would he also consider among other things recommending that the postal administrations should proceed step by step ?
Først en etapevis procedure er overhovedet egnet til at vise medlemsstaterne, om deres betænkeligheder er berettigede.
Would it not also be a good idea for the Members of the Commission to hold direct discussions with the post office ministers ?
Ville det ikke også være klogt, om medlemmerne af Kommissionen personlig drøftede sagen med postministrene?
I also pointed out that in certain areas pertaining to Member States' internal security, but also in measures to combat international crime such as drugs and arms smuggling, Member States wished to retain border identity checks to help them in their pursuit of criminals.
Narjes. — (DE) Det er sket på bilateralt niveau, hr. Rogalla, og netop sådanne drøftelser har bekræftet vores overbevisning om, at der uden yderligere harmoniseringspres ikke er chance for enighed.
Mr Narjes. — (DE) Bilateral discussions of this kind have already taken place, and it is precisely this type of discussion which has strengthened us in our conviction that without additional pressure towards harmonization there is no likelihood of agreement.
At der kan opnås enighed i etaper, er for os ikke nogen væsentlig hindring for at begynde, for når det første skridt er taget, er de næste skridt kun et spørgsmål om tid.
The fact that an agreement can be arrived at step by step does not mean we are reluctant to take the first step, for once that first step is taken, further steps are only a matter of time.
For så vidt er der ingen forskel mellem Dem og os, men viljen til at sætte sig omkring det runde bord og forhandle om sådanne harmoniseringsforanstaltninger er på nuværende tidspunkt overalt underudviklet.
To this extent there is no difference between yourself and us, but at the present time there is little evidence anywhere of a willingness to sit down round a table and negotiate on harmonization measures of this kind.
Narjes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Kommissionen har ofte — sidste gang på foranledning af diskussionen om hr. Schielers betænkning på mødet den 9. juni i år — fremhævet, at den fuldstændige afskaffelse af personkontrol for alle borgere; medlemsstaterne er dens langsigtede mål.
If you ask us today what are our objections to this attitude by the Member States, I would say first of all that we basically accept their reservations in that Member States have a duty to protect their citizens and guarantee their internal security.
Jeg sagde dengang i diskussionen, at dette mål var ufravigeligt.
But we wonder whether frontiers in the traditional sense are in fact a suitable or indeed essential means to this end.
Jeg gjorde ligeledes opmærksom på, at medlemsstaterne på visse områder af deres indre sikkerhed, men også ved bekæmpelse af internationale forbrydelser som handel med narkotika og våbensmugling vil bevare personkontrol ved grænserne som et instrument i eftersøgningen efter lovovertrædere.
Must millions of law-abiding travellers put up with identity checks so that a number of criminals, tiny in comparison, can be apprehended, or are there not other ways and means to achieve this ?
Purvis (ED). — (EN) Næsten endnu mere skadelig end forskellen på nogle få øre i portoen på disse breve — hvad enten de sendes indenlands eller i Fællesskabet — er tidsforskellen.
Mr Purvis (ED). — Almost more detrimental than the differences of a few pennies in the price of these letters — whether they are domestic or intraCommunity — is the difference in time.
