På den ene side er der meget, der taler for at opretholde en egen produktion, fordi kul som endogen bærer på fællesskabsplan rummer en vis energisikkerhed.
This area of Liguria on the borders of France, indeed, earns most of its livelihood from flowers and agriculture, and therefore the entire business of the devastated area has been affected.
På den anden side er det helt åben bart — bortset fra undtagelsen der bekræfter reglen — at konkurrencedygtig kulproduktion i EF hører fortiden til.
The production of 5 000 farms was affected; it consists mainly of perennial plants which will take years to grow again and allow production to be resumed.
Sidstnævnte betyder så igen, at den støtte, der af medlemsstaterne ydes til kulproduktionen, Virker mindre konkurrenceforvridende på det indre fælles marked, da vi her i alle tilfælde taler om en ikkekonkurrencedygtig produktion. Over for den ydre verden påberåder man sig så igen princippet om energiforsyningssikkerhed. giforsyningssikkerhed.
In asking the Commission to provide ade­quate financial aid, we propose here — with reference to another sector affected in the past, that of olive­growing, for which there is a similar period required for resumption of production and for which measures decided upon by the Commission are already being implemented — that both measures be combined in a more fundamental programme of financial aid cover­ing both sectors.
Jeg kan tilslutte mig det behov for sikkerhed, som hr. Croux så effektivt har beskrevet, dvs forsyningssikkerheden.
However, quite exception­ally, at the end of January there were several bouts of frost of a type quite unknown in these areas, on both sides of the Pyrenees, for several decades.
Dog vil jeg mene, at vi i den nuværende situation har den størst tænkelige garanti for denne sikkerhed, hvilket skyldes det allerede eksisterende forsyningssystem og også de erfaringer, vi har måttet gøre i de sidste år.
These spells of cold weather caused very serious losses. More that half a million people were cut off for practically two days, and a series of districts experienced cuts in elec­tricity, water and other supplies which lasted for up to seven days.
Lavkonjunkturen på kulmarkedet vil gøre fællesskabsstøtten og de samlede nationale tilskudsordninger endnu vanskeligere og dyrere.
These interruptions, particularly in the electricity supply, caused widespread damage to stock­breeding installations and activities, involving irrepara­ble losses.
Er den ordning, der foreslås, i overensstemmelse med de traktater, der styrer eller burde styre Fællesskabet?
Without emergency aid, it will be very difficult for these predominantly agricultural districts to make a sufficient recovery, back to the levels before this special and quite exceptional disaster.
Er den i overensstemmelse med de konkurrenceregler, der allerede er hårdt spændt for inden for andre områder af aktiviteterne i Fællesskabet? For mig at se går Kommissionens udkast til beslutning videre end disse regler; men samtidig resumerer det objektivt det behov for støtte til kulindustrien, vi af generelle årsager og for solidaritetens skyld støtter.
It is for these reasons, being fully aware of the situation in these areas, that I am tabling this resolution in order to obtain specific aid from Parliament and the other Community institutions.
Ordføreren vil hertil som principper føje forsy ningssikkerheden og støtte til, at brydningen tilpasses markedet, to principper, der i virkeligheden skal ses som en maskering af sociale formål.
I believe that at this moment, following the entry of our countries into the European Communities, we will — if this resolution is adopted — be able to see a prac­tical expression of solidarity from the other European nations, with their own current problems.
Det er vi ikke imod, og vi vil derfor også godkende ændringsforslagene i den retning.
Therefore, Mr President, we lend our enthusiastic support to these motions for resolutions.
Der er imidlertid to grundlæggende forudsætninger, der skal opfyldes.
Mr Virgílio Pereira (LDR). — (PO) Mr President, two Autonomous Regions of Portugal were ravaged in February by heavy rains and cyclonic winds.
Den første er, at man når en rimelig grad — jeg siger ikke fuld, idet jeg ikke foregøgler mig noget — af overensstemmelse med den konkurrenceregler, der styrer det fælles marked.
The Autonomous Region of Madeira which normally has a wonderful climate and is 800 square kilometres in area with 300 000 inhabitants, living mainly on the tourist trade, handicrafts, wine production and various crops and flowers.
I den version, som ordføreren foreslår, bliver beslutningen et åbent system, hvor i realiteten alt er muligt.
The efforts which it has made over the past few years to improve living conditions thus received a severe setback.
Sådan er situationen faktisk også.
Damage is estimated at 400
Den anden er, at man når et acceptabelt niveau af økonomisk rationalitet, som ikke tidligere har eksisteret.
Mr Coimbra Martins (S). — (PO) The damage in the two Autonomous regions referred to in the motion for
Men kan man fortsætte med en sådan politik i det uendelige?
It is no exaggeration to term it catastrophic, as mentioned in the document.
Et åbent system med denne målsætning, der giver medlemsstaterne den størst mulige frihed til at tilpasse sig og til i overgangsfasen fortsat at pumpe store beløb ind i systemet, bliver helt automatisk et indholdsløst system, dets målsætning forsvinder, hvis den ikke er klart tidsbegrænset.
Certainly the Azores and Madeira require in the circumstances additional and more far-reaching measures than taken hitherto, since neither region is able to provide such measures itself.
Vi må dog én gang for alle sige klart, at vi ikke kan fortsætte i det uendelige, sådan som vi nu gør. Hver ken i Europa eller i Belgien.
C 2-110/ 85) concerning the new Community rules for State aids to the coal industry (Doc.
Og dermed er det profetiske ord naturligvis faldet.
In the circumstances the Socialist Group considers that the motion for a resolution is justified and for its part lends its full support.
Ewing (RDE). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg lyttede med stor interesse til de foregående taler, og jeg vil gerne sige til hr. Kilby, at hvis han fulgte sin tilbedelse af markedet fremfor alle andre hensyn, ville han gøre sig lige så skyldig i kortsigtet planlægning, som mange af os anklager Fællesskabet for at være med hensyn til kullene.
Mr Mosar, Member of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, the Commission is fully aware of the emotion generated by certain major damage caused — particularly in the agricultural sectors and in public infrastructure — by the recent bad whether.
Jeg kan være enig med hr. Kilby i én udtalelse, nem lig at vi ikke har en langsigtet planlægning. Det tror jeg vi alle må være enige om, det er helt vanvittigt, at vi ikke har en langsigtet planlægning.
Mr Croux (PPE), rapporteur. — (NL) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, what is the subject of this pro posal by the Commission?
Det gælder for regeringer af forskellige afskygninger.
The position is that on 30 June next the present scheme expires.
De besluttede at yde støtte til eksport og import af kul til oplagning inden for Fællesskabets grænser. Dette blev ikke gen nemført.
The Commission thus has to adopt a fresh decision in accordance with the unanimous opinion of the Coun cil.
Lige så vel som en ordfører af limburgsk oprindelse ikke kan skrive en betænkning om kulproduktionen uden at tænke på 7Kempesche Steenkoolmijnen«, kan et flamsk medlem af Europa-Parlamentet heller ikke blande sig i diskussionen om betænkningen uden at have de limburgske miners fremtid og sit syn derpå i baghovedet.
It is the Commission's duty to draw the honourable Members' attention to the fact that the bad weather they are talking about is a seasonal climatic phenomenon of indeterminate duration and considerable size and the Community is ill-equipped to help remedy damage of this sort by means of emergency aid.
For når det stilles op rent konkret, betyder forslaget: hvis man vil, kan man roligt fort sætte i 5 år, og hvis man følger ordføreren endda i 10 år med at subsidiere, lad os bare sige med at dække tabene uden videre.
The aims of the honourable Members indeed imply that schemes going well beyond the potential and, let us say, the aim of Article 690 of the Budget are required.
Man får nok ikke lige straks besvær med Europa. Men spørgsmålet er dog: Vil det være klogt?
How does this differ from the old scheme which was brought in by the Commission in 1976?
Er det den rigtige veksel at trække på fremtiden, først og fremmest for den limburgske region selv?
The fundamental difference lies in the fact that there is no longer any guarantee of the volume of production of coal.
Jeg tror det ikke. Limburg har ret til vor solidaritet, men så kan den dog kun tage sigte på fremtiden. Bruddet kan heller ikke være abrupt.
In 1976 it was still stated that one of the criteria for the admissibility of State aid was the maintenance and extension of production capacity as such.
Der til er kulminerne for stærkt involveret i regionens socioøkonomiske struktur.
What is provided is that a greater adaptation to market trends is to be used as a criterion.
Men fremtidsperspektivet skal dog også være tydeligt til stede.
I emphasize a greater, not an absolute, adaptation, not a similarity but a greater adaptation to the conditions prevailing on the market.
Beløbet skulle være i størrelsesordenen 10 milliarder, og det kunne tages fra europæiske national- og regionalfonde, idet det ville få form af en integreret aktion.
In addition the social and regional criterion is repeated, although in another form, and there is also a mention of the opening of new economically viable capacities, in which respect one thinks of the United Kingdom in particular.
Jeg vil gerne nu nævne to andre ting: først sydafrikanske kul. Hvorfor er disse kul billigere, på et tids punkt hvor vi udmærket ved, at markedskræfterne bestemmer?
However, the Commission is anxious to emphasize that both Liguria and the French Pyrenean transfrontier regions are covered by Regulation 2088/85 on the IMP.
Er det, fordi de sydafrikanske minearbejdere er mere produktive, eller er det, fordi deres lønninger er lavere?
The problems the honourable Members have raised in their motions for resolutions may be solved, I think with the creation of the IMP.
Der er et moralsk aspekt her. Lande skal tage stilling til moralske spørgsmål. Japan er ikke et særlig moralsk land, for det hjælper ikke den tredje verden ret meget, men det er sandelig konkurrencedygtigt.
Although the guidelines laid down in the French IMP projects would be respected, intervention to help the underprivileged zones would have to be better oriented.
Jeg mener, vi må sige til os selv, at når vi aftager en fjerdedel af vor import fra Sydafrika, mens hele verden optrapper sin moralske for dømmelse af det, der finder sted i dette ækle styre og anmoder om øgede sanktioner, er det simpelt hen meningsløst.
Furthermore, the Commission invites the three Member States concerned to strengthen the instruments mentioned in Title 3 of Regulation 797 on improving agricultural structures.
Jeg mener, at Parlamentet agter at frem sætte et meget markant synspunkt i denne sag.
Specifically, an increase in the compensatory payment could have considerable positive effects, I think, on the stricken farmers.
På vort intitiativ er Kommissionen nu i gang med en undersøgelse af en sådan integreret aktion, som den i øvrigt delvis selv skulle finansiere.
Mr President, the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology paid great attention to the factual circumstances which led the Commission to this new proposal.
En sådan integreret aktion samler alle de muligheder, som fællesskab sinstrumenterne: socialfonden, regionalfonden, lånefaciliteter byder på, og koncentrerer dem om et nødområde.
We must in fact say that the objectives of coal policy as defined in the '70s were not actually realized. We still see that time in our mind's eye: two energy crises.
Instrumentet er også tilstrækkelig smidigt til at samle de nationale og regionale instansers medvirken og medfinansiering og derved nå frem til et sammenhængende hele.
Then efforts were being made to achieve greater independence and thus also greater diversification and to a greater extent the use of own sources of energy.
Hensigten må være, at der ved periodens udløb er en klart indskrænket kulproduktion tilbage, men især at der er en ung, levedygtig moderne provins, hvor der stadig er beskæftigelse.
The facts show us too that in the course of the last ten years from 1975 to 1985 production declined from 260 million to 200 million tonnes, by more than 30%, and that employment was reduced from 507 000 workers to 400 000.
Men så må man være villig til én gang for alle at tilsidesætte alle dommedagsprofetier og alt bondefangeri og i fællesskab at arbejde på fremtiden.
Despite that, national State aid went up from 418 million ECU in 1976 to 4000 mil lion in 1985. From 418 million ECU to 4 000 million ECU in ten years!
Vi kunne meget let øge samhandelen inden for Fællesskabet, og vore kul har jo et lavt svovlindhold.
The Commission also hopes for stricter application of the new guidelines and wants the States to obtain prior
Jeg finder Kommissionens kriterier forenklede — de
(By successive votes the three resolutions were adopted)
Ewing tager ikke hensyn til produktionen fra åbne brud, let adgang til dem, lejernes størrelse. Det vil jeg kritisere Kommissionen for, og jeg vil takke ordføreren for hans store arbejde.
It wishes for greater transparency in the price structure, cost prices, selling prices, comparability with prices of imported coal and the like.
En kulstrategi, der tager utilstrækkelig højde for alle disse biaspekter, er efter min mening ikke nogen god strategi.
We must have greater clarity in these matters.
Drfor ville jeg også gennem ændringsforslag anbringe nogle korrektioner i Croux-betænkningen.
We feel that that cannot be achieved in one year and that a longer transitional period of one and a half years is necessary, since we appreciate the difficulties.
De går i retning af et integreret handlingsprogram for omlægning og af en forlængelse af fristerne, så der også kan ske en effektiv omlægning under acceptable, realistiske og sociale omstændigheder.
Finally we are of the opinion that investments for, amongst other things, new capacities and restructuring pro grammes mostly take a very long time in mining and we therefore propose that the period of application should be placed at ten years as in the previous regulation of 1976, with the understanding that there shall be the possibility of revision after five years so that account may be taken of the economic, social and also financial circumstances at that time.
Vandemeulebroucke (ARC). — (NL) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, de nye foranstaltninger for kulindustri en, der er til behandling i dag, indebærer både en lukningsplan og en massal importplan.
What is the view of your Committee on Energy, Research and Technology? Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to state emphatically that we appreciate the Commission's efforts to give a fresh Community significance to coal policy.
Ulburghs (NI). — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg støtter min kollega fra Limburg, hr. Croux, når han anmoder om at beholde støtten til kulindustrien.
What has been the leading principle for our Committee on Energy?
En egen euro pæisk kulforsyning sikrer ganske rigtigt en uafhængig energipolitik i et uafhængigt Europa. En egen kulindustri er en garanti og uforudsete internationale hændelser, som for eksempel udsving i dollarkursen og oliepriserne.
Achieving a balance between the most important elements of the problem, starting out from and taking into account the Commission's own policy.
For hvem, hvilken ekspert tør påstå, at hans prognoser om priserne på energimarkedet vil vise sig at falde rigtigt ud inden for de næste 10 år?
The last ten years have taught us that the microeconomic pressure is extremely great but on the other hand the macro-economy in the longer term also plays a part, so that we are also thinking of the great instability and the uncertainty on the energy market, the high degree of dependence, because we are still dependent for some 40 to 50% of our energy requirements, on imports from third countries.
Man kan for det første sætte kæmpestore spørgsmål stegn ved importen og prisudviklingen. De nuværende pris for kul importeret i Europa er ikke den rette målestok, fordi der sker en massal dumping.
But on the other hand we should like to tell the executive Commission that in our view two additional factors are needed: first an element of certainty in the framework of a broad longterm energy policy, in other words not only the microeconomic standpoint, the profitability of concerns, but also the macroeconomic and energy points of view must be enabled to play a full part here.
For eksportminerne fra tredjelande udgør de kul, der sælges til Europa, på nuværende tidspunkt kun en marginal i landenes produktion.
Our formulation is a flexible one, taking account of an efficient coal industry, that is to say no longer an arbitrary coal industry, as an important and substantial element of a regular and permanent supply of energy.
En stigning med 175 millioner tons eksport til Europa gør, at denne eksport ikke længere er marginal sammenlignet med det inden landske marked, således at importen i Europa vil blive afregnet til den virkelige kostpris.
We have in mind possibilities for fresh increases in the price of oil, our degree of dependence, for example on gas from the Soviet Union and the fact that it is not only nuclear energy which may be decisive for our future.
Desuden er fænomenet med, at minerne bliver udtømte, ikke blot kendetegnende for Europa.
There must also be a balance between economic, social and regional factors.
I den forstand frygter jeg det værste for strategien med hensyn til billige importkul, og her må jeg til dels give hr. Vandemeulebroucke ret, således som Kommissionen propagerer den, en strategi, der betyder dødsstødet for hele kulmineområder i Europa.
It is with that in mind, Mr President, that I ask the Commission of our Community to take into account our point of view, which is the result of careful and lengthy investigation.
Det centrale spørgsmål er jo: Hvorfor er disse importerede kul så billige, og vil de i fremtiden blive ved med at være så billige, som kommissionen ser ud til at tro?
Our Committee has approved this report by 16 votes in favour, five abstentions and no votes at all against.
Der er også et andet kritikpunkt.
IN THE CHAIR : MR ORTEGA
De foreslåede be sparelser, som de lægges frem i Kommissionens strategi, er efter min mening illusoriske.
My next remarks are addressed in particular to the Commission: if we read in particular in the Adam report regarding longterm energy objectives that according to the Commission coal must continue to play a rôle not only in consumption but also in prod uction, then our view is that it will not be possible to realize the Commission's objectives in the long term unless an element of certainty is included in the criteria.
Kommissionen anfører jo, at ca. 10 mia ECU i årlig støtte skal have en anden bestemmelse, men den nævner ikke i den forbindelse, at 60% af beløbet skal bruges til pensioner uanset spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt der importeres kul eller ej.
As the Committee on Energy we should like to suggest to the Parliament and at the same time ask the Commission, in the consultations regarding regeneration plans, to pay greater attention from the start to the social and regional element which it in principle accepts, rather than to do so merely at a later stage in order to help to absorb the social consequences of reduction of production.
Fra de resterende 40% skal derefter træk kes udgifterne til arbejdsløshedsunderstøttelse.
We think that there are good reasons for that, even if purely financial ones.
Men hvis denne strategi skulle lykkes, og disse euro pæiske miner ville blive ofret, så ville et mægtigt våben være slået ud af Europas hænder, nemlig Euro pas egen kulforsyning, og så ville Europa kunne gøre store øjne, når de så de priser, som de udenlandske producenter så ville kræve.
For us, I believe, the importance of the report is highlighted in the paragraph which states that coal is an energy source in abundant supply, inexhaustible for a long time to come and, therefore, the only source of energy over which the Community has ultimate control from the extraction stage to supply for consumption.
Man kender den undersøgelse, som de skotske professorer Saville og Kerevan har udført, hvori der nævnes beløb på 100 dollars pr. tons i 1995.
This holds true regardless of any temporary economic and financial fluctuations which may affect the market.
Ulburghs ud.
Smith particular report.
Jeg finder det vanskeligt at tro, at omstilling vil kunne rette op på den sociale situation, eller bør jeg tale om den sociale katastrofe, i en egn som Limburg.
The report emphasizes many of the points which many of us have been making for many a long year.
Hvorfor ikke gøre en særlig indsats allerede på nuværende tidspunkt for at hjælpe de mange unge arbejdsløse, hvis arbejdsløshedsprocent er blandt de højeste i Europa, ud af miseren?
I would go as far as to suggest that if the British Government had listened to their colleagues in the German Christian-Democratic Party, the miners' strike in my coun try lasting twelve months would not have happened.
Hr. De Gucht, allerede uden lukning af miner er disse unges situation tilstrækkelig håbløs til at begrunde denne særlige indsats.
What the miners were saying is what this report is say ing, namely that coal is the energy source of the future, that if you disregard that fact, then in many ways you will be destroying the future.
Disse kul fra Amerika, hr. De Gucht, er dyrere end kullene fra Limburg!
Now this surely is known to people everywhere, at least I would have thought so.
Og er det ikke ejendommeligt, at en af de vigtigste direktører i SIDMAR, der foretrækker disse dyrere amerikanske kul fremfor kullene fra Limburg, selv er formand for minerne i Limburg?
When the Commissioner came to the meeting of the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology, he said there was no need to worry about this unemployment and that it was only a shortterm phenomenon.
Kan De forstå det?
Mr President, that is an insult to the people I represent.
For at få klarhed om de internationale priser, beder jeg om støtte til mit^ændringsforslag om at ind lede en undersøgelse vedrørende uærlig dumping praksis i de kulimporterende lande.
Because of the wisdom of this report, it will receive — with a few exceptions — the support of my group.
For det andet, det er allerede blevet sagt, de sydafrikanske apartheidkul udgør også en trussel.
Mr Rinsche (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen!
Sydafrika er faktisk den eneste udenlandske producent, der sælger kul med fortjeneste på nuværende tidspunkt, og det til en meget lav pris. Men det er blodpenge! Det er apartheidkul.
On behalf of the Group of the European People's Party I should like to express my support for the report by my colleague Mr Croux and to thank him for his excellent and thorough work.
Derfor har jeg stillet et ændringsforslag om boycot af den sydafrikanske kulimport, Således som flere lande allerede har indført det, og som de sydafrikanske ledere anmoder om.
If there are no secure and inexpensive sources of energy available, the aims of European economic and social policies cannot be attained.
Hvad skal man stille op med disse tusindvis af unge mennesker, der netop har stiftet familie?
The coal industry has a central role to play in European energy policy.
Et gyldent håndtryk for derefter for altid at være overladt til deres skæbne?
Four years ago, on 18 February 1982, we discussed my report on the coal supplies in the European Community.
Og vil de tabte arbejdspladser i minerne ikke være tabt for evigt?
Since then, oil prices have fallen sharply.
