Den understreger mange af de forhold, vi har fremhævet i Parlamentet i de sidste fem år. Den understreger i hvert fald, at de to presserende problemer, som vi stod overfor for fem år siden, stadig er der — stigende arbejdsløshed og vor manglende evne til at bringe de multinationale selskabers aktiviteter under kontrol.
In our concern that both men and women get the best possible advantage from their situation, we of the Liberal Group want to do our bit to ensure that everyday life for the family and for the individual, man or woman, in working life is as good as it can possibly be, and we would point out that, as far as we can see, parttime work must be a good thing for men as well as for women.
Blandt de arbejdsløse er mange kvinder og mange unge mennesker. Det er et dybt alvorligt problem for os alle.
Secondly, we must take into account the fact that the climate in Member States is not a favourable one.
Derfor sagde vi dengang, at for at komme dette problem til livs måtte vi begynde ved begyndelsen og sætte ind med uddan
In particular, I ask the Commission to be very much on the alert and to insist, by accepting the amendments presented to this effect, on having a real check on equality of opportunity for jobs.
Dette er sandsynligvis min sidste chance for at tale her i Europa-Parlamentet, da jeg nu er blevet valgt til
My final remark is that we Liberals do not believe in the Socialist propaganda that shorter working hours
Undersøgelsesudvalget om kvindens situation i Europa har frem lagt en udtalelse, der støtter og konkretiserer dette krav.
That will in our opinion offer better possibilities of employment, not just for men but also for women, and that is in the best interests of society.
Det er naturligvis en kendsgerning, at det ikke er lykkedes os her i Parlamentet at få kontrol med de multinationale selskabers aktiviteter.
Mr President, the management quoted high absenteeism as a problem in this factory but included in their figure women on maternity leave and people on holiday.
Jeg har et frisk eksempel fra min egen valgkreds, hvor det japanske Hitachi-selskab lige har afskediget halvdelen af sine medarbejdere, og to tredjedele af dem er kvinder.
So that again is how a multinational company sees the problem of absenteeism, and I think that that is a particularly worrying factor as far as women are concerned.
Dette selskab informerede og rådførte sig med sine medarbejdere på følgende måde : de fandt ud af, at de skulle fyres, samme dag som selskabet fortalte det til pressen.
Ms Clwyd (S). — Mr President, first of all I would like to congratulate my colleague, Mrs Salisch, on what I think is an excellent report.
Det er helt klart, at dette selskab i lighed med mange andre overhovedet ikke har gjort noget sådant.
It underlines many of the points we have made in this Parliament over the last five years.
Faktisk ville medarbejderne geme have haft mere tid til at rådføre sig med hinanden for at kunne fremlægge forslag om at dele arbejdet på denne fabrik, fordi den ligger i et område med meget høj arbejdsløshed.
The other problem that may be facing workers at this factory, Mr President, is that the normal principles of redundancy in Britain, which are that the last in will be the first out, are not going to be applied in this case.
Cynon Valley i Sydwales, hvor denne fabrik ligger, har en arbejdsløshedsprocent på 19, og arbejderne ville geme have haft mulighed for at fremlægge for slag om at dele arbejdet på fabrikken. Den mulighed har de ikke fået.
This is not the first time that women have been treated in this way in Britain in the last few years.
Dertil hører flextid, dvs. omlægning af arbejdstiden, såvel som deltidsarbejde, og dette for hold ønsker jeg at holde mig til.
This is probably the last chance I shall have to speak in this European Parliament, since I have now been elected to the House of Commons, where I shall have an opportunity, no doubt, on many occasions to tell our Prime Minister precisely what she ought to be doing to reduce unemployment in our own country.
Vi anmoder derfor om — det er målet for ændringsforslaget af fra Maij-Weggen og mig — at de pågældende passager i beslutningen om afslutningen af samrådet med Europa-Parlamentet om forslaget om Rådets resolution om be kæmpelse af kvindearbejdsløsheden medtages i selve beslutningsforslaget.
Mrs Lenz (PPE). — (DE) Mr President! For the nth time the European Parliament has taken up the urgent question of unemployment amongst women and we welcome the Commission's intention of laying before the Council a proposal in the form of a resolution, although — and here I share my colleague's opinion — we would naturally have preferred more concrete proposals.
Vi kan ikke indse, at netop de mere konkrete dele i beslutningen ikke også skulle optræde i forslaget til resolution fra Rådet.
The Committee of Inquiry into the Situa tion of Women in Europe has tabled an opinion on this, which supports the demand and puts in into con crete form.
I øjeblikket er fabrikken ved at træffe en ekslusivaftale inden for sit område — det er første gang, at nogen virksomhed uden for et Greenfields-område i Det forenede Kongerige har sluttet en ekslusivaftale med fredspligt med noget selskab.
The fact is, of course, that in this Parliament we have failed to control the activities of the multinational companies.
Arbejderne formodes naturligvis at holde sig til de grundlæggende principper, som ledelsen af Hitachi går ind for: »Oprigtighed, pionerånd og harmoni«.
I have an example now within my own constituency where the Japanese Hitachi company has just made over half the workforce redundant, and two-thirds of that workforce are women.
Medarbejderne har nu allerede haft tre år uden lønforhøjelse.
The work force found out that they were being made redundant on the same day that the company told the press.
Nu får de så en 7 % lønforhøjelse til alle — et relativt pænt til bud, men helt uden forhandling.
Quite clearly, this company and many other companies like it are not doing anything of the kind.
Vi er kun af samme opfattelse som socialisterne, for så vidt som vi — når de klandrer vor regerings manglende beslutsomhed med hensyn til deltidsdirektivet — måske ikke altid i god forståelse med vor regering absolut geme ville have set dette deltidsdirektiv, da det navnlig ville hjælpe de kvinder, der i deres lande næppe kender til detidsarbejde, og som, hvis de ken der til det, er endnu dårligere sikret, end tilfældet er hos os, hvor der dog allerede er truffet en række for anstaltninger.
In fact, the workforce would have liked more time to consult amongst themselves so as to come forward with proposals for sharing the work in this particular factory, because it is in an area of very high unemployment indeed.
Hr. formand, ledelsen angav høj fraværsprocent som et problem for denne fabrik, men medtog kvinder på barselsorlov og folk på ferie i deres talmateriale.
In view of the urgency of the problem of unemployment as a whole, and of unemployment among women and girls in particular, in February we welcomed in an emergency resolution the conference of ministers in Paris, which was to draw up proposals for solving this problem and which now, as the Council, is to lay down these proposals — if only in the form of a reso lution.
Så det viser igen, hvordan et multinationalt selskab ser på fraværsproblemerne, og jeg synes, det især er foruroligende for kvindernes vedkommende.
That includes flexible working hours, i.e. new working arrangements, as well as parttime work, and it is to this aspect that I shall confine my remarks.
Det andet problem, som arbejderne ved denne fabrik kan blive stillet overfor, er, at de normale afskedigelsesprincipper i Storbritannien, som går ud på, at den sidst ansatte bliver afskediget først, ikke vil blive anvendt her.
We ask therefore — this is the object of the amendment tabled by Mrs Maij-Weggen and myself — that the relevant passages of the resolution closing the procedure for consultation of the Euro pean Parliament on the draft Council resolution to combat unemployment amongst women be incorporated in the draft resolution itself.
Det er ikke første gang, kvinder er blevet behandlet på denne måde i Storbritannien i de seneste år.
We do think that the more concrete sections of the resolution should be included in the draft Council resolution.
Skulle statistikemes oplysninger om, at der allerede i de kommende år igen vil være flere arbejdspladser til rådighed, end der er fagfolk i den kommende generation, vise sig at være rigtige, så må man også heri se en chance for kvinder, der er forblevet erhvervsaktive og erhvervsvillige, også gennem deltidsarbejde.
At the moment the factory is concluding a singleunion agreement within that factory — the first time that any site outside a Greenfields site in the United Kingdom has concluded a single-union, no-strike agreement with a company.
Del tidsarbejde frembyder en chance herfor, og derfor ser vi geme, at disse passager overtages.
The workers, of course, are expected to abide by the guiding principles of the
Jeg opfordrer Parlamentet til at støtte fra Salischs beslutningsforslag og betænkning.
We share the Socialist view only inasfar as — when it criticizes the lack of readiness on the part of our gov-
Han fortolkede helt forkert, hvad jeg sagde om kvindearbejdsløsheden.
In Greece the system of domestic service results in women having to work for 12 to 16 hours per day, for a wage even lower than the stipulated minimum wage for an 8-hour day.
Patterson (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, må jeg komplimentere fra Salisch for hendes udmærkede betænkning, som min gruppe i princippet støtter. Jeg ved ikke, hvad det modsatte af en jomfru er, fru Clwyd, med jeg vil også geme komplimentere fru Clwyd for det modsatte af hendes jomfrutale her i Parlamentet.
ernments to take a decision on the directive on parttime work — we would very much have welcomed this directive, perhaps not always in agreement with our own governments, since it would primarily help women in countries where parttime work is virtually unknown, and for whom, if it is known, the insurance position is much worse than it is for us who live in countries where a whole series of measures have already been taken.
I særdeleshed vil jeg geme komplimentere hende for den geniale måde, hvorpå hun fik inddraget de multinationale i en drøftelse af kvindearbejdsløsheden. Jeg ønsker Dem alt godt i Underhuset, for det var en tale, som de vil blive glade for dér.
In the end it is not a question of creating employment opportunities, but of giving women and girls the opportunity to use work skills which have often been acquired as a result of expensive training, to continue to use this knowledge later in combination with their family obligations so that they will be able to return to full-time employment later on.
Adamou (COM). - (GR) Hr. formand, fra Salischs betænkning omtaler på en væsentlig måde den tragiske situation, som arbejdsløsheden har skabt for kvinderne.
In our view, general unemployment can only be met by State investment in the public sector and by the nationalization of basic industries, to create new jobs.
Men adskillige af de foranstaltninger, den foreslår, kan ikke bringe nogen løsninger på dette samfundsproblem.
Measures should be instituted for the education and specialization of Greek women, 90% of whom have no special training.
F.eks. er forslaget om deltidsbeskæftigelse for kvinder vendt imod de arbejdende kvinder, fordi det muliggør en endnu større udbytning af dem og sikrer arbejdsgiverne, for hvem kvinderne altid har udgjort en billig arbejdskraft og en kilde til umenneskelig rigdom, mere profit.
Training schools should be estab lished in sectors that employ women, and women should specialize in the new production systems.
Med deltidsbeskæftigelse bevares opfattelsen af kvindens indtægt som et supplement til familiens budget.
The age limit for retirement should be lowered to 55 for women.
Og trods erklæringer om det modsatte betragter kapitalismen ikke kvinden som et ligeværdigt samfundsmedlem.
The situation of motherhood should be pro tected, maternity leave of at least 16 weeks should be safeguarded, and crèches and kindergartens should be established.
Hermed bevares den anskuelse, at kvindens plads ifølge den vel kendte triade er hos børnene, i køkkenet og i kirken (Kinder, Küche, Kirche).
We are in favour of freedom of choice, we are in favour of voluntary parttime work, but we are in favour of parttime work as one possibility.
Og der brages også det uholdbare argument, at den stigende ungsdomskriminalitet er resultat af mødrenes beskæftigelse i produktionslivet, skønt det ene og alene er resultat af den kapitalistiske samfundsstruktur.
If the statisticians are proved right and in the coming years more jobs are available than there are skilled people to fill them in the next generation, this can be seen as another opportunity for women who are still able and willing to work, even part-time.
Med deltidsbeskæftigelsen forsøger arbejdsgiverne at ramme, at svække og at splitte fagbevægelsen og således også arbejder nes modstand og kamp mod arbejdsgivernes griskhed. hed.
Parttime work pro vides an opportunity to do this and that is why we should like to have these passages included.
Tre meget hurtige bemærkninger til Salisch-betænk-ningen. For det første vedrørende den sociale fond.
These, however, are measures that do not feature in the resolution by the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment.
Hvis jeg også må have lov til at fremsætte en politisk bemærk ning, fra Clwyd : når jeg læser Labours manifest til valget til Europa-Parlamentet, som jeg er sikker på De har været med til at udarbejde, lægger jeg mærke til en bemærkning om, at de britiske kvinder ikke har fået fuldt udbytte af socialfonden.
Mrs Salisch (S), rapporteur. — (DE) Mr President, I find it unacceptable for my Greek colleague to take from my report quotations which are not to be found in the report.
Hr. formand, jeg vil sige lidt om arbejderkvindens situation i mit land, Grækenland.
Mr Patterson (ED). — Mr President, may I congratulate Mrs Salisch on an excellent report which my group in principle supports.
Endvidere har kvinderne den længste arbejdsløshedsperiode, idet de udgør 62 % af dem, der har været arbejdsløse i over et år.
I do not know what the opposite of a maiden is, Mrs Clwyd, but I would also like to congratulate Mrs Clwyd on the opposite of her maiden speech in this House.
I Grækenland bevirker facon-systemet, dvs. arbejde i hjemmet, at kvinder arbejder 12-16 timer i døgnet for en løn, der er lavere end mindstelønnen for 8 timers arbejde.
I would like particularly to congratulate her on her ingenuity in dragging the multinationals into a debate on women's unemployment.
Endvidere at de er uden forsikring.
I wish you well in another place, because that was a speech which would go down very well in there.
Endelig er der et punkt, som jeg geme vil henlede Deres opmærksom hed på, og det er ændringsforslag nr. 3, der vil ændre Kommissionens tekst.
Parttime employment perpetuates the notion that the wife's earnings are a mere supplement to the family budget.
Det er en tilføjelse, og der står, at eventuelle nedskæringer inden for de sociale udgifter bør begrænses til uregelmæssigheder og spild, idet man bør undgå at reducere personservicen og at ramme beskæftigelsen på dette område.
And despite protestations to the contrary, in a capitalist situation women are not regarded as equal members of society.
De kan ikke i fuldt alvor forvente, at Rådet skal stemme for en beslutning, som ikke blot kræver, at serviceydelserne ikke bliver skåret ned, men hvori der yderligere står, at man ikke må skære ned på antallet af ansatte i servicesektoren for at rationalisere.
We still hear the baseless argument that the increase in juvenile crime is supposedly the result of mothers' employment in productive industry, whereas it is in fact exclusively the consequence of the structure of capitalist society.
Jeg tror ikke et øjeblik på, at Rådet vil stemme for det, og min gruppe ville være meget mere tilfreds med Deres betænkning, hvis De kunne tage det ændringsforslag tilbage, for bortset derfra forekommer den mig at anvise udmærkede metoder til bekæmpelse af kvindearbejdsløsheden.
Parttime work is a weapon with which employers seek to strike at, weaken and divide the trade-union movement, and consequently the resistance and struggle of working people against the avarice of the employers.
Alt dette er foranstaltninger, som ikke findes i beslutningsforslaget fra udvalget om sociale anliggender og beskæftigelse.
Mr President, let me say a few words about the situa tion of working women in my own country, Greece. Though they make up only 31% of the workforce, they account for 45% of the unemployed as a whole,
Beskæftigelsen for de kvinder, der har arbejde, er også karakteriseret ved en høj koncentration af kvinder inden for bestemte aktiviteter og sektorer.
something which says that the British women have not benefited fully from the Social Fund.
Samtidig har der været en markant stigning i antallet af kvinder, der er beskæftiget inden for det offentlige og i servicefagene, skønt der hovedsagelig har været tale om en stigning i antallet af lavtlønnede og forholdsvis ukvalificerede job.
Well now we actually received 30% of the total Fund last year, both men and women, and I would ask Commissioner Richard to confirm that that 30% did not just go to men, but that women in the United Kingdom benefited as well.
Det forholder sig helt klart sådan, at Kommissionen i en atmosfære af voksende bekymring på grund af arbejdsløsheden i al almindelighed har taget en række initiativer, der har til formål at bidrage til udviklingen af en generel strategi i medlemsstaterne til be kæmpelse af arbejdsløsheden.
The Commission is particularly concerned by the fact that this difficult period is giving rise to a tendency, especially in relation to social security, to cut back in the area of equality of treatment between male and female workers. In this connection, the Commission is extremely concerned as to the correct implementation of the social security directive due to be implemented by the Member States before the end of this year.
Indtil nu omfatter disse initiativer beskæftigelsesfremmende foranstaltninger for de unge — hvorom jeg skal sige et par ord om et øjeblik — nedsættelse og omlægning af arbejdstiden og udvikling af en politik for erhvervsuddannelser.
Insofar as some honourable parliamentarians asked for close monitoring by the Commission of what is going on in the Member States in this field, I can certainly give them the assurance that we are doing precisely that.
Det store antal kvinder blandt de arbejdsløse hænger naturligvis sammen med arten af det arbejde, som kvinder normalt påtager sig.
Women's unemployment in the Community was, as the House knows, the subject of a communication from the Commission last November to the Standing Committee on Employment.
Parallelt hermed er Fællesskabets vilje til at skabe lige muligheder også resulteret i fællesskabsaktioner, især gennem vedtagelsen af de tre direktiver om ligeløn, om ligebehandling og om ensartet behandling inden for socialsektoren, samt af aktionsprogrammet om fremme af lige muligheder for kvinder, som blev fulgt af Rådets resolution.
Another point. I am also glad, Mrs Salisch, that you do not fall for the idea that the 35-hour week can just be imposed upon everybody without any reference to costs, because I noticed — and here my group is very much in accord — in point D you say that the preservation of competitiveness is important.
Denne resolution under stregede behovet for en øget indsats såvel på fælles skabsplan som fra de enkelte staters side for at iværksætte positive foranstaltninger, der kan føre til, at der i praksis bliver lige muligheder for alle.
Finally, there is one point which I would draw your attention to and that is Amendment No 3 which seeks to amend the Commission's text.
Jeg må anerkende det, fru Salisch sagde, om at beslutninger er ét og konkrete handlinger noget andet.
It is an addition and it says that any adjustment in the social expenditure must be made for the sole purpose of eliminating distortion and waste, avoiding cuts in either public services or employment in this sector.
Efter diskussionen af dette emne i det stående udvalg om beskæftigelse fandt udvalget det så vigtigt, at der blev gjort noget, at det besluttede, at sagen skulle drøftes på ministerrådsplan, og at Kommissionen skulle sikre, at der blev truffet de nødvendige foran staltninger, som ville gøre det muligt for Rådet at stille forslag om et effektivt initiativ.
Now, this is obvious non sense, Mrs Salisch. You cannot say and pretend that the Council is going to vote for a resolution which says not merely that you should not cut services, but that you cannot even cut employment in the social services in order to make things more efficient.
Vi sendte derfor et udkast til resolution angående initiativer til be kæmpelse af kvindearbejdsløsheden til Rådet, inde holdende retningslinjer for passende foranstaltninger på dette område.
I do not believe for a minute the Council will vote for that and my group would be very much happier with your report if you could withdraw that amendment because otherwise it seems to be an excellent way of tackling women's unemployment.
Kommissionen er særlig bekymret over, at der i den ne vanskelige tid især inden for den sociale sektor er en tendens til at skare ned på området ligebehandlingen af mandlige og kvindelige arbejdstagere.
It is difficult to use averages across the Community to illustrate the problem, because some Member States have much higher female unemployment than others — Belgium, Italy, France and Ireland, for example.
Da nogle af de ærede medlemmer har efterlyst en nøje overvågning fra Kommissionens side af, hvad der foregår i med lemsstaterne, kan jeg helt klart forsikre dem, at det netop er, hvad vi gør.
Mr Richard, Member of the Commission. — Mr President, if I may say so, I think this has been a useful and comprehensive debate, though the fact that it is some what wideranging makes it difficult for me to answer in detail all the questions that I have been asked, but I will do my best.
De principper, der må ligge til grund for initiativer på dette område, kan formuleres ganske kort og klart.
Coupled with the restructuring of the economy that has taken place, this has resulted recently in a substantial drop in employ ment in the sectors traditionally employing large numbers of women — for example, textiles, clothing, leather or skins.
De går ud på, at mænd og kvinder har samme ret til arbejde og til at søge økonomisk uafhængighed, uden hensyn til den økonomiske situation, samt at foran staltninger med henblik på økonomisk genrejsning også bør omfatte positive initiativer til afhjælpning af faktisk ulighed.
At the same time, there has been a significant increase in the numbers of women employed in the public and in the service sectors, although in general there has been an increase in low-paid jobs which require relatively few skills.
Som Parlamentet ved, var kvindearbejdsløsheden emne for en meddelelse fra Kommissionen til det stående udvalg om beskæftigelse.
It is obviously true that in an atmosphere of growing concern about unemployment generally the Commission has taken a number of initiatives intended to con tribute to the evolution of a general strategy of the Member States to fight against that unemployment.
I denne meddelelse blev den nuværende situation ridset op, årsagerne til den høje arbejdsløshedprocent for kvinder blev undersøgt, og der blev skitseret nogle initiativer, man kunne tage for at mildne problemet.
To date, these initiatives include promoting employment for young people — about which I will have a word to say in a moment — the reduction and reorganization of working time and the development of vocational training policies.
