Sagen er imidlertid særdeles indviklet, og Fællesskabet kræver fortsat, at disse forhandlingers globale karakter respekteres.
But this is a particularly complex matter, and the Community con tinues to demand that the global nature of these negotiations be respected.
Kommissionen er imidlertid villig til at gøre sit yder ste for at afslutte denne sag på en god måde inden for den korte tid, der er til rådighed.
The Commission is, however, prepared to do its utmost to bring this undertaking to a satisfactory conclusion within the short time avail able.
På denne måde har vi undgået en eskalering, som ville have haft yderst negative følger for begge parter, og lige inden en ny GATT-runde turde jeg sige for hele verdenshandelssystemet.
My second question is as follows: do you not feel that you have just struck a serious blow against Com munity preference?
Det var derfor hovedsagelig af denne grund, at Kommissionen på Ministerrådets udtrykkelige anmodning havde påtaget sig den opgave at gøre et allersidste forsøg på at opnå enighed.
Do you not feel that, for six months at least, and possibly longer, you have can celled out the much-vaunted benefits which were won for producers at the time of the Spanish and Portuguese enlargement?
At vi undgik en direkte handelskrig er i sig selv allerede en vigtig grund til tilfredshed.
Thirdly, it would be interesting to have your opinion of the effects of this measure on the cereals market, especially maize, in terms of farmers' incomes.
Baroness Elles (ED). — (EN) Fru formand, til forretningsordenen, jeg synes, at nogen fra denne forsamling bør kommentere kommissærens redegørelse.
Lady Elles (ED). — On a point of order, Madam President. I think somebody from this House should reply to the Commission statement.
Jeg vil gerne takke kommissæren for den meget værdifulde redegørelse, Komplimentere ham og hans kolleger med det meget vellykkede forhandlingsresultat og sige, at vi har noteret os alle de synspunkter, han har gjort rede for, og at vi gerne vil ønske ham og resten af Kommissionen held og lykke i de efterfølgende for handlinger inden for de næste seks måneder.
I should like to thank the Commissioner for that very valuable state ment, to congratulate him and his colleagues on the very successful outcome of the negotiations and to say that we have taken note of all the points he has made and would like to wish him and the rest of the Com mission success in the following negotiations over the next six months.
Desuden ser jeg en række andre positive aspekter. Således har de forenede Stater efter min mening be sindet sig en hel del, og de har opgivet overdrevne krav.
President. — Ladies and gentlemen, I would remind you that our Assembly decided on Monday that the Commission statement would not be followed by a debate.
Vi ville heller ikke have ladet nogen tvivl tilbage om, at, at f.eks. et krav om et årligt afgiftsfrit kon tingent på 13 mio tons majs eller en månedlig garanteret import i Spanien i to eller tre år på 300 000 tons kvægfoder var fuldstændig uacceptabelt.
However, I have received five requests to speak, and, in accordance with Rule 40 of the Rules of Procedure, I am bound to allow speaking-time which will be limited to a half-hour, given that we have a particularly heavy agenda.
Endvidere har De forenede stater med denne aftale endelig accepteret, at Spaniens tiltrædelse også indebærer fordele for deres eksport.
In conclusion, may I point out that this decision has roused strong feelings in France.
Hvis eksporten af majs og sorghum til Spanien falder, vil en del deraf nemlig blive kompenseret af en stigning for andre produkter i pakken såsom gluten, citrus piller eller bryggerimask, hvor importforbudet i Spanien nu er blevet opgivet.
I hope that even though the Council of Ministers took its decision unanimously, the present Minister for Agriculture in France will see fit to take the necessary compensatory measures, so that our maize farmers will not be the losers in this operation.
Formanden. — Kære kolleger, jeg gør opmærksom på, at Parlamentet i mandags besluttede, at Kommissionens redegørelse ikke skal efterfølges af forhandling.
Mr Chambeiron (COM). — (FR) Madam President, I listened very carefully to the statement by the Com missioner, Mr De Clercq, and it does in fact essentially confirm what we have learnt from the Press, and from the specialist Press in particular.
Jeg har imidlertid modtaget fem anmodninger om at få ordet, og i henhold til forretningsordenens artikel 40 er jeg forpligtet til at indrømme denne tale tid, der begrænses til en halv time, da vor dagsorden er overordentligt omfattende.
I was, however, very interested to see that the Council of Ministers were unanimous in their decision.
For så vidt angår de positive aspekter, vil jeg påpege, at aftalen er fuldstændig i overensstemmelse med de kriterier, som Ministerrådet havde givet os med som retningslinje den 16. juni.
Mr Provan (ED). — Madam President, I too welcome the statement that the Commissioner has given us this morning and, like Mr Chambeiron, I am rather concerned about certain aspects of it.
For det første er aftalen midlertidig, dvs. begrænset til udgangen af året.
Could the Com missioner clarify the position for me in simple words, although I respect the way he has spoken to us this morning.
Endelig foregriber den midlertidige aftale på ingen
Does the six month period of time actually add up to a suspension of the levies that the United
Jeg bemærkede imidlertid med stor interesse, at der i Ministerrådet opnåedes enstemmighed om denne afgørelse.
I should like to put three short supplementary questions. tions.
Det første, hr. kommissær, er følgende: Er det ikke Deres indtryk, at Kommissionen har vendt helt op og ned på sin hidtidige opfattelse?
Provan upon us and particularly by those who should have appreciated the wider political benefits for Europe, the West and the world of the joining of this Community by Spain and Portugal.
I sin tid skelnede De ikke mellem landbrugs- og industrispørgsmål, og heri fulgte Parlamentet Dem.
Could he also address himself, as Mr Chambeiron has asked, to the Com munity preference aspect of this deal?
De sagde, at De ville stå fast under drøftelserne med amerikanerne.
It does look as if Community preference will no longer be respected for the six month period, and what does he intend to do regarding that?
Hr. Delors henviste endog til Det gamle Testamente og talte om »øje for øje og tand for tand«. Videre forklarede De os, at De ikke ville trække veksler på fremtiden, dvs. de multilaterale forhandlinger.
I fundamentally believe that we in the European Community are the largest importer of American agricultural exports.
Nu har De imidlertid delt sagen i to og har kun beskæftiget Dem med landbrugsspørgsmålet.
What compensation is there likely to be paid within GATT rules if, in fact, there was a decision that we were in breach of a GATT Agreement because of Spain and Portugal.
De har opgivet fastheden og er gået fra Det gamle Testamente til Det nye Testamente: »Dersom nogen giver dig et slag på din højre kind, da vend ham også den anden til«.
That is the fundamental question: are we prepared as a Community to pay compensation to the United States if such a ruling were to be given within GATT?
Vil han ligeledes, således som hr. Chambeiron har anmodet om, gøre rede for fællesskabspræferenceaspektet i denne aftale?
There has been extensive coverage in the media of a bilateral agreement made by a Member State of this Community, namely France, with New Zealand.
Det ser ud til, at fællesskabspræferencen ikke længere vil bli ve respekteret i denne seksmåneders periode, og hvad har han tænkt sig at gøre ved det?
Is the Commission aware of all the public debate that is taking place on this question, seeing that France has had a dispute and that if it needed the mediation or assistance of its colleagues in the Com munity, I am quite certain that that would have been forthcoming.
Jeg mener fundamentalt, at vi i Det europæiske Fællesskab er den største importer af amerikanske landbrugsprodukter.
But I understand that France has under taken to pay its national debt with the livelihoods of European dairy producers.
Det er det grundlæggende spørgsmål: Er vi indstillet på som et Fællesskab at betale kompensation til De forenede Stater, hvis en sådan kendelse blev afsagt inden for rammerne af Gatt?
I am extremely concerned about this. I quote from the Wellington Post where it says: 'Critics say that our system of justice has been traded away for the sale of sheeps' brains, butter and lamb cutlets'.
Jeg er derfor bange for, at De på farlig vis har trukket veksler på fremtiden.
That is the opinion in New Zealand of what has happened.
I forhandlingerne med amerika nerne bør der lægges stor fasthed for dagen, og hele pressen har understreget, at denne første indrømmelse til amerikanerne risikerer at bane vejen for yderligere indrømmelser.
I think it is appropriate that we in Parliament should raise this question here and that we should ask whether Community preference has again been traded by a Member State of this Community in a bilateral arrangement.
Mit andet spørgsmål er følgende: Han De ikke ind tryk af, at De har tilføjet fællesskabspræferencen et alvorligt slag?
It is seriously disturbing and we need a strong and clear statement from the Com mission on the subject.
For det tredje ville det være interessant at kende Deres opfattelse af denne foranstaltnings udvirkninger for kornmarkedet, ganske særligt for majs, og specielt for landmændenes indkomst.
President. — I would remind you that the subject of your questions must be the agreement between the Community and the United States.
McMillan-Scott (ED). — (EN) Fru formand, ligesom hr. Provan med flere hilser jeg også kommissionens redegørelse her i formiddag velkommen, og vi påskønner alle dens anstrengelser i de sidste uger.
Mr McMillan-Scott (ED). — Madam President, like Mr Provan and others I also welcome the statement made this morning by the Commission and we congratulate it on all its efforts over the last few weeks.
Jeg har en særlig interesse i disse foranstaltninger, fordi jeg repræsenterer York, hvor vi fremstiller en masse chokolade.
I have a particular interest in these measures, because I repre sent the city of York, where we manufacture a lot of chocolate.
Som bekendt kan vi ikke sælge vor chokolade i Det europæiske Fællesskab, men vi sælger det faktisk til De forenede Stater.
As you know, we cannot sell our chocolate into the European Community but we do sell to the United States.
Med 7000 beskæftiget i denne industri i York og med 7000 beskæftiget inden for turisme i den samme by er vi eller kunne vi blive offer for to politiske afgørelser truffet af De for enede Stater.
With 7 000 people employed in that industry in York and with 7 000 employed in the tourism industry in the same city, we are or could be the victims of two political decisions made by the Unites States.
For det første turistboykotten og nu landbrugskrigen.
First, the tourism boycott and now the agricultural war.
Efter min mening har disse foran staltninger været ondskabsfulde og selektive, og de skader i høj grad gode relationer mellem de to kontinenter.
To my mind these measures have been spite ful and selective and they certainly strain good relations between the two continents.
Men må jeg — idet jeg henviser til topmødet i Tokyo, hvor det blev bestemt, at globale landbrugshandelsproblemer skulle henvises til OECD med henblik på en nærmere undersøgelse — bede kom missæren fortælle os helt klart, hvad han mener, at OECD kan gøre i denne sammenhæng?
But may I ask the Commissioner — referring him back to the Tokyo Summit at which it was stated that the global agricultural trade problems were going to be referred to the OECD for study — to advise us precisely what he believes the OECD can achieve in this regard?
Tillad mig afslutningsvis at påpege, at denne beslut ning har vakt stort røre i Frankrig. Jeg læste i pressen, at formanden for Aquitaine-regionens råd, Chaban Delmas, der er formand for den franske nationalforsamling, har sendt et telegram til hr. Delors for at udtrykke sin ængstelse over disse foranstaltninger.
Mr Clinton (PPE). — It is well known that on many occasions I expressed my concern in this House about Community preference.
Jeg håber, at den franske landbrugsminister på trods af Ministerrådets enstemmige afgørelse vil træffe de fornødne kompensationsforanstaltninger, så majsproducenterne ikke går hen og bliver taberne i denne aktion.
There is no doubt in my mind but that we would have a trade war between the Community and the United States without this agreement, which represents compromise and gives us a very necessary breathing space.
Provan (ED). — (EN) Fru formand, jeg påskønner ligeledes den redegørelse, som kommisæren har givet os her i formiddag, og ligesom hr. Chambeiron nærer jeg nogen bekymring over visse aspekter i den.
My own belief is that, when the elections are over in America, we may get more reasonable consideration of what the Community is doing.
Vil kommissæren uddybe den for mig i enkle vendinger, selv om jeg respekterer den måde, han har talt til os
Up to the present I think that the United States is quite unreasonable about all this and I would like to hear from the Commissioner if, during this six month period it is the intention of the Commission that the global situation in trade be very carefully monitored between the Community and the United States.
McCartin (PPE). - (EN) Fru formand, mit hovedspørgsmål, nemlig spørgsmålet om fællesskabspræference er allerede rejst, og jeg ønsker blot at sige, at det er med dyb skuffelse, at jeg har hørt om indrømmelserne og den store indrømmelse i forbindelse med hele spørgsmålet om fællesskabspræference, som både Rådet og Kommissionen har gjort på nuværende tidspunkt.
Mr McCartin (PPE). — Madam President, the main point I wanted to raise, namely the question of Com munity preference, has already come up and I merely want to say that it is with immense disappointment that I have learned of the concessions, notably the serious concession on the whole question of Community preference that has been made at this stage by both Council and Commission.
Hvis der er noget aspekt ved den fælles landbrugspolitik, der skal forsvares til det yderste på nuværende tidspunkt, hvis vi skal spare vore skatteyderes penge, og hvis vi skal redde EF-landmændenes
If there is any aspect of the Common Agricultural Policy which must be defended to the last ditch at this stage, if we are to save our tax payers money and if we are to save the livelihoods of the farmers in this Community, it is Community preference.
McCartin mellem Fællesskabet og De forenede Stater meget nøje.
De Clercq what we did on the basis of the mandate given us, a two-line mandate.
De Clercq, medlem af Kommissionen. — (FR) Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, først og fremmest vil jeg gerne takke alle talerne, specielt lady Elles og hr. Clinton, men også alle de andre, der har udtrykt deres tilfredshed, og som endog har været så elskværdige at rette venlige ord til Kommissionen som helhed og til de to kommissærer, der specielt har beskæftiget sig med denne vanskelige sag.
others who have expressed their satisfaction, and who were even generous enough to address a few kind words to the Commission in general and in particular to the two members of the Commission who had to deal with this difficult problem.
Jeg vil også gerne takke alle dem, der nærede tvivl eller fremførte kritik, for at have udtrykt sig i moderate vendinger.
And I wish to thank those who, even though they had their doubts and criticisms, expressed them in moderate terms.
Jeg vil først og fremmest redegøre for de omstændigheder, som Kommissionen forhandlede under.
First let me give the background to the Commission negotiations.
Kom missionen forhandlede på grundlag af og som led i Ministerrådets afgørelse af 16. juni.
It was negotiating on the basis and within the framework of the Council of Ministers' decision of 16 June.
Jeg er særdeles bekymret over dette.
Have we abandoned the concept of 'globality'?
Jeg citerer »Wellington Post«, hvori det hedder: »Kritikerne siger, at vort retssystem er blevet borttusket for salget af fårehjerner, smør og lammekoteletter«.
That is quite wrong: I thought I had made it quite clear in my introductory speech that we shall tackle the final negotiations on the basis of Article 24 paragraph 6 of the GATT tomorrow — and let us hope that the climate will be much better than it was a few days ago.
Det er New Zealands opfattelse af, hvad der er sket.
Our approach remains the same.
Jeg mener, det vil være på sin plads, at vi i Parlamentet tager dette spørgsmål op her, og at vi spørger, om fællesskabspræferencen igen er blevet brugt som en handelsvare af en medlemsstadt i Fællesskabet i en bilateral aftale.
I believe I said in my statement that the interim solution of truce and armistice cannot be allowed to prejudice the future, our future attitudes, or the outcome of the negotiations.
Hvad gik denne afgørelse ud på?
What was that decision?
De to muligheder var følgende: for det første fasthed.
It consisted essentially of two lines, at the Commission's request.
Der var tale om vigtige produkter af stor økonomisk betydning, idet det ellers ville være me ningsløst at tale om gengældelsesforanstaltninger. Som bekendt var der tale om den meget følsomme majsgluten, om ris og korn.
These had to be important products, economically significant ones, otherwise there would be no point in talking about retaliation.
Det var den første mulig hed: fasthed, og om fornødent træder Rådet sammen inden for fjorten dage efter bekendtgørelsen af De forenede Staters foranstaltninger.
That was the first line: firmness, and if necessary the Council will meet in a fortnight's time to announce what measures the United States have taken.
Formanden. — Jeg minder om, at Deres spørgsmål skal vedrøre aftalen mellem Fællesskabet og De for enede Stater.
In other words, the armistice will not provide any kind of precedent for the future, be it for the United States or for ourselves.
Anden mulighed: en sidste indsats, et sidste politisk forsøg på at undgå optrapning.
Second line: the ultimate effort, the ultimate political attempt to prevent escalation.
Med andre ord, som Ministerrådet sagde: » Værsågod, her er våbnene til at kæmpe med, men prøv for himmelens skyld på at undgå kamp!«.
In other words, the Council of Ministers told us, 'There you are, we have given you weapons to fight with, if you need them, but for goodness sake, try not to have to fight'.
Det var i denne sammenhæng, at vi gik ind i sidste kurve.
It was in this situation that we rounded the final bend.
Læg mærke til, at jeg siger sidste kurve, for af hensyn til dem, der endnu skulle nære tvivl, er det den 1. juli, at de af den amerikanske præsident selv og ikke af en eller anden minister varslede foranstaltninger automatisk træder i kraft. Det var virkelig sid ste kurve.
I say that advisedly, because on 1 July, for those who might still have doubts on this score, the measures which had been announced by the President himself, not by any of the United States ministries, would automatically take effect.
Clinton (PPE). — (EN) Fru formand, det er almindelig kendt, at jeg ved mange lejligheder giver udtryk for mine bekymringer i denne forsamling med hensyn til fællesskabspræferencen.
Although I say that the agreement reached does not create a precedent, it is as much in the United States' interest, if not more, as in ours.
Der er ingen tvivl i mit sind om, at vi ville have fået en handelskrig mellem Fællesskabet og De forende Stater uden denne aftale, som er et kompromis og giver os et meget nødvendigt pusterum.
It is temporary, it is politic, and it is in no way a precedent for the future. I also believe that we have not mortgaged the future.
Min egen personlige overbevisning er, at vi, når valget er ovre i Amerika, sandsynligvis vil få en mere rimelig vurdering af, hvad Fællesskabet gør.
The Commission is not there to mortgage the future, the Commission is aware of the sensitive areas, the interests at stake, and knows exactly what is involved.
Hidtil har De forenede Stater efter min mening været helt urimelig i hele denne sag, og jeg vil gerne have at vide af kom missæren, om Kommissionen i denne seksmåneders periode agter at overvåge hele handelssituationen
Quite simply, we ensured that on the basis of the average exports for the past year, it will be possible during an interim period for that average to be exported not only in Spain, but in the Community of Eleven. Portugal has a separate system, which we shall leave aside for the time being.
Hvis man derfor mener, at en alvorlig økonomisk konflikt bør undgås, må man prøve på at gøre det under anstændige og forsvarlige omstændigheder.
So then, if one is of the Opinion that a major conflict, a major economic conflict, is to be avoided, one must try to do it on honourable and defensible conditions.
Man kan ikke sige, at man ikke vil have krig og så samtidig kritisere enhver foranstaltning, der tilstræber at undgå kriger.
It is not possible to say that war must be avoided, and then to criticise immediately any step taken to avert that war.
Man må være logisk: hvis man umiddelbart forud for den nye forhandlingsrunde, som skal tilstræbe liberalisering af den internationale samhandel og styrke det system, der har bragt verden
That is all. And in view of the market trend, I dare say, after consulting the experts — I myself am not an expert on this subject — after consulting DG VI, in view of the trend in the markets this year — I repeat, this year — that there will be enough for everyone.
Og amerikanerne kan eksportere deres 234 000 tons om måneden til andre lande i Fællesskabet.
And the Americans will be able to export their 234,000 tonnes a month to the other countries of the Com­munity.
Der bli ver brug for majs på grund af utilstrækkelig produktion, høsten og markedernes udvikling, der bliver brug for import af majs.
There will be a demand for maize, as produc­tion is inadequate, because of the harvest and the mar­ket trend, there will be a substantial demand for maize.
Derfor mener jeg også. at vore egne producenters interesser er varetaget.
I therefore believe that our own producers' interests will be secure.
Jeg taler om 1986, altså om den periode, hvor konsensus er gældende, idet aftalen automatisk udløber den 31. december 1986.
I am talking about 1986, which is the period for which the agreement applies, as the Convention terminates automatically on 31 December 1986.
Skulle vi have opgivet vor »helhedsopfattelse«?
the proposals from the Commission to the Council (COM(86) 199 final — Doc.
Det er helt galt.
C 2-39/86) for
For øvrigt mener jeg i mine indledende bemærkninger, som vi kommer ind på i morgen — forhåbentlig i et ikke så lidt bedre klima end for nogle dage siden — nøje at have fremhævet den endelige forhandling på grundlag af artikel 24, pkt. 6, i Gatt.
— a regulation amending Regulations (EEC) Nos 797/85, 270/79, J360/78 and 355/77 on agricul­tural structures and on adapting agriculture to the new market situation and preserving the rural environment.
Så vil jeg tale om fællesskabspræferencen.
I shall now discuss the question of Community prefer­ence.
Kommissionen har ikke lov til — og overvejer heller ikke — at opgive princippet om fællesskabspræference.
The Commission does not have the right to abandon the principle of Community preference — and the Commission would not dream of doing so.
Det turde være indlysende.
To me that is obvious.
Men så bør man også være fornuftig med hensyn til dette princips gennemførelse, mine damer og herrer.
But one must be reasonable in one's application of that principle, ladies and gentle­men.
Som eksempel vil jeg blot tage det stillede spørgsmål om New Zealand, selv om det, hvilket De gjorde rigtigt i at påpege, fru for mand, ikke står på dagsordenen.
I shall take as an example the question about New Zealand, which was not on the agenda, as you so rightly pointed out Madam President.
Da Storbritannien tiltrådte Det europæiske Fællesskab, henvistes der blandt tiltrædelsesbetingelserne udtrykkeligt til smøreksporten.
When Great Britain joined the European Community, the problem of butter exports was expli­citly included in the terms of accession.
