Tværtimod beklager vi dybt mangelen på politisk vilje fra medlemsstaternes side til fremskridt på dette område.
Previously, children were given free milk in Great Britain ; if I am not mistaken — and I call on the Commission to confirm this — cases of tuberculosis have again been recorded since free milk was abolished.
Kommissionens forslag har desværre endnu ikke opnået enighed i Rådet. Dette beklager vi, for vi ønsker at komme videre på dette område og ikke at stå stille.
And then we have to consider the pensioners, who benefit most from these facilities.
Hvad angår sammenligningen med Italien, tager jeg det ærede medlems ord til efterretning.
Well, since the Craxi government follows Mrs That cher's government in many respects, I am very concerned for Italy in view of the precedents of the British Government.
Hvad angår cigaretprisen i huset her, går jeg ud fra, at det er en praktisk erfaring, som enhver af os kan gøre.
I ask the Commission whether it cannot take steps to help British children and pensioners, so as to avoid any possible repercussions in Italy of the measures adopted in Great Britain.
Spørgsmål nr. 6 af Seefeld (H-647/83):
(Interruption by Mr Seal)
Kommissionen har indledt overtrædelsesprocedure mod Frankrig i henhold til artikel 169 i traktaten som følge af manglende overholdelse af artikel 2 og 4 i tobaksdirektivet.
Mr Seal, this is the procedure we have been following for the last two years.
Desuden er den pågældende afgift ikke medregnet i beskatningsgrundlaget for moms som fastsat i artikel 11a, stk. 2, i det sjette momsdirektiv, hvori det hedder, at skatter, told, importafgifter og andre afgifter med undtagelse af selve merværdiafgiften medregnes i beskatningsgrundlaget. Dette aspekt er følgelig også omhandlet i overtrædelsesproceduren.
Mr Maher (L). — Could the Commission help to ensure that the British Milk Marketing Board observes the rules of free trade, thus making it possible for Irish fresh milk to be imported into the UK market and thereby giving the British consumer not only a wider choice but also the opportunity to buy a more nutritious product than any that is available in Britain ?
I betragtning af, at det ikke er lykkedes Miljø ministerrådet at nå til enighed — hvilket heller ikke kan forventes i fremtiden, sådan som sagerne står — finder Kommissionen det da foreneligt med EØF-traktaten, at en medlemsstat til beskyttelse af såvel sine borgeres som sit dyre- og plantelivs sundhed ensidigt vedtager forskellige forskifter med det formål at skære drastisk ned på emissionen af skadelige stoffer i trafikken, navnlig på blyindholdet i benzin inden 1986?
Mr Richard. — I daily marvel at the ingenuity of Members of Parliament and the way in which a ques tion, which on the face of it appears innocent, is extended to cover major issues related to the common agricultural policy.
Et svar på Kommissionens skrivelse i henhold til artikel 169 blev modtaget den 9. november 1983, men Kommissionen fandt ikke den franske regerings forklaring tilfredsstillende og vedtog derfor at frem sætte en begrundet udtalelse over for Frankrig.
As far as the milk marketing boards are concerned as with all other agencies in the Community, the Commission is naturally anxious and will do its best to ensure that Community rules and regulations are properly observed.
Spørgsmål nr. 7 af Weber (H-648/83): af emissionen af skadelige
Question No 5, by Mr Berkhouwer (H-643/83) :
Om: Nedsættelse stoffer i trafikken
Subject : Cigarettes in France
Hvad angår stigningen i forbrugerpriserne, kan Kommissionen meddele Parlamentet, at den franske regering fortsætter med officielt at fastsætte og
Mr Richard, Member of the Commission. — The Commission endeavours to create healthy competition within the Community in the field of manufactured tobacco.
Tror Kommissionen, efter at miljøministerrådets samling den 29. november 1983 slog fuldstændig
Mr Gautier (S). — (DE) Commissioner, have you noticed that a number of amendments have been submitted to this year's report on farm prices, including some by Mr Seal, which aim to lower the price of milk in particular, to the benefit of the consumer, and that in Great Britain precisely this action has in fact achieved this aim ?
Formanden fejl, endnu i fuld alvor på, at Rådet, der til stadighed svigter som fællesskabsinstitution, kan mønstre så meget politisk vilje, at det af hensyn til fællesskabsborgernes sundhed sætter sig ud over visse industripolitiske interesser og inden for de næste tre år vedtager foranstaltninger med henblik på en drastisk nedsættelse af emissionen af skade lige stoffer i trafikken?
Furthermore, the levy in question is not included in the taxable amount for VAT as provided by Article 11 (a) (2) of the Sixth VAT Directive, which stipulates that the taxable amount should include all taxes, duties, levies and charges excluding VAT itself. This aspect is, therefore, also covered by the infringement proceedings.
Til hr. Klinkenborg vil jeg gerne sige, at Kommissionen fortsat agter inden den 15. april i år at fore lægge Rådet forslag om en generel begrænsning af emissioner fra motorkøretøjer og om fjernelse af bly i benzin.
As things stand, it is likely that the Council of Ministers for the Environment will continue to find it impossible to reach agreement ; does the Commission therefore consider that it would be compatible with the EEC Treaty for one Member State, in order to protect its citizens and flora and fauna, to adopt unilaterally various provisions designed to reduce drastically the pollutants in emissions from motor vehicles and, more specifically, the lead content of petrol by 1986 ?
Følgelig vil det først i Miljøministerrådets mødet efter denne dato vise sig, om den i hr. Webers spørgsmål hårde anklage mod Miljøministerrådet er berettiget.
Subject : Reduction in pollution caused by emissions from motor vehicles
Spørgsmål nr. 8 af Klinkenborg (H-649/83):
Question No 8, by Mr Klinkenborg (H-649/83) :
Om: Nedsættelse af emissionerne fra motorkøretøjer tøjer
Subject : Reduction in the exhaust emissions of motor vehicles
Har Kommissionen stadig til hensigt at forelægge Rådet forslag i april 1984 om nedsættelse af emissionerne fra motorkøretøjer, især reducering af blyindholdet i benzin?
Does the Commission still intend to submit to the Council in April 1984 proposals concerning a reduction in the exhaust emissions of motor vehicles and, more specifically, a reduction in the lead content of petrol ?
Spørgsmål nr. 9 af Seibel-Emmerling (H-650/83):
Question No 9, by Mrs Seibel-Emmerling (H-650/83) :
Om: Positive virkninger af ensidige nationale mijøbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger på hele Fælles skabet
Subject : Positive effects on the Community as a whole of unilateral national environmental protection measures
Seefeld (S). — (DE) Hr. kommissær, jeg takker for Deres svar. De talte juridisk og i koder.
Mr Richard. — The Commission does not agree that we have been wasting our time.
Jeg spørger Dem derfor helt konkret: Hvad sker der, hvis en af regeringerne forholder sig således, som De ønsker?
On the contrary, we regret very much the lack of political will on the part of Member States for progress in this field.
De har sagt, at Kommissionen går ind for indførelse af blyfri benzin.
The Commission's proposal, unfortunately, has as yet met with no agreement from the Council.
Hvad vil De så gøre?
This we regret, because we wish to move forward in this field and not stand still.
Narjes. — (DE) Hr. Seefeld, jeg tror ikke, at det tilfælde, som De tænker på, findes.
As far as the comparison with Italy is concerned, I note what the honourable gentleman has to say.
Vi vil under forberedelsen af vor afgørelse holde det af Dem nævnte tilfælde for øje.
As far as the price of cigarettes in the building is concerned, I suppose that is a matter of practical experimentation which any of us can make.
Deler Kommissionen min opfattelse, at en medlemsstats ensidige udstedelse af bestemmelser med henblik på drastisk at formindske emissionen af skadelige stoffer i trafikken og nedsætte blyindholdet i benzin på ingen måde vil kunne lægge hindringer i vejen for trafikken inden for Fælles skabet, fordi de andre medlemsstater i et sådant tilfælde af hensyn til deres egne økonomiske interesser på området turisme og automobilindustri rent faktisk vil blive tvunget til at tilpasse sig disse foranstaltninger, der er nødvendige af hensyn til sundheden hos alle borgere i hele Fællesskabet?
Does the Commission share my view that the unilateral adoption by one Member State of regulations imposing a drastic reduction in the pollutants emitted by motor vehicles and in the lead content of petrol would in no way disrupt intraCommunity trade since, were this to happen, the other Member States would in point of fact be forced in their own economic interests (tourist sector and the car industry) to bring their own legislation into line with such measures, which are necessary in the interest of the health of all the Community's citizens ?
Hr. Seefeld stiller et hypotetisk spørgsmål.
Debates of the European Parliament
Narjes. — (DE) Kommissionen agter ikke at fore skrive automobilindustrien bestemte fremgangsmåder.
Mr Narjes. — (DE) Mr Seefeld, the situation you have postulated does not exist, as far as I can see.
Kommissionen agter udelukkende at opstille bestemte værdier og overlader det til industrien at udvikle de fremgangsmåder, hvormed den kan opnå disse værdier.
We will, in the course of preparatory work in this field, be open to the possibility of such a situation arising.
Til Deres anden bemærkning må jeg sige, at Europa hinker væsentlig bagefter Japan og De forenede Stater med hensyn til at indføre blyfri benzin.
Mr Narjes, Member of the Commission. — (DE) Since these four questions deal with the same topic, I would first of all like to say that there is not the slightest doubt that the Commission is determined to introduce lead-free petrol as quickly as possible, for health and environmental reasons.
Med hensyn til problemet med eventuelle ensidige nationale foranstaltninger må jeg understrege, at fællesskabsretten og navnlig bestemmelserne for den frie vareudveksling og konkurrencereglerne i hvert fald må respekteres og overholdes.
Regarding the problem of possible unilateral national measures, I would like to point out that Community law and in particular regulations concerning the free exchange of goods and competition must be adhered to.
Den, der vil påberåbe sig artikel 36, må i det konkrete tilfælde bevise, at den kan finde anvendelse.
Recourse to Article 36 requires proof of its applicability to a specific case.
I øvrigt skal, hvad angår bestemmelserne om Jjlyindholdet i benzin, også det endnu gyldige rådsdirektiv af 29. juni 1978 om tilnærmelse af medlemsstaternes retsforskrifter om blyindholdet i benzin som offentliggjort i EFT af 22. 7.
As far as regulations on the lead content of petrol are concerned, the Council directive of 29 June 1978 on harmonization of the legislation in the Member States on the lead content of petrol, as published in the Official Journal of 22. 7.
1978 overholdes.
1978, is still in force.
Nr. 1-311/45 nedre niveau, således at alle forsøg på at gå ud over det og undtage omfattende områder kunne bremses.
We consider there is enough proof to justify the introduction of lead-free petrol if we wish to pursue a responsible, preventative environmental policy.
Sieglerschmidt (S). — (DE) Hr. kommissær, hvorfor skulle det egentlig være i modstrid med Fællesskabet, hvis en medlemsstat bedre end andre opfylder Fælles skabets mål på miljøbeskyttelsesområdet, nemlig muligst strenge standarder på miljøbeskyttelsesområdet?
In reply to Mr Klinkenborg I would like to assure him that the Commission still intends to submit proposals to the Council by 15 April on the general limitation of pollution by vehicle emissions and on the elimination of lead in petrol.
Var det i denne forbindelse ikke hensigtsmæssigt, om man ved direktiver af denne art på forhånd til en vis grad går ud fra en minimumstandard som opmuntring til at gøre det bedre og så at sige udtryk kelig indbygger en åben klausul?
It therefore follows that we cannot judge whether the severe criticism in Mrs Weber's question of the Ministers of the Environment is justified until meetings of the Council of Environmental Ministers after this date.
Seibel-Emmerling (S). — (DE) Fru formand, De spurgte mig før elskværdigt, om jeg som spørger ville stille et tillægsspørgsmål.
Mr Sieglerschmidt (S). — (DE) Commissioner, why should it be contrary to the spirit of the Community for one Member State to fulfil Community aims in the area of environmental protection better than others, i.e. to introduce stricter standards ?
Formanden. — Fru Seibel-Emmerling efter Kommissionens svar på Deres spørgsmål spurgte jeg Dem, om De ønskede at stille et tillægsspørgsmål.
Finally, I would like to reply to Mrs Seibel-Emmerling's question.
Da De ikke ønskede at stille et tillægsspørgsmål, fulgte jeg den sædvanlige procedure med at tage en taler fra hvert sprog i hver gruppe.
Political initiatives are always very welcome in all areas and at all times, particularly in the field of environmental protection, as this enables us to draw up the most efficient regulations to protect the environment based on the broadest possible consensus within the Community.
Hr. Sieglerschmidt, Deres tyske kollega, stillede et spørgsmål.
Particularly in the light of its most recent experience, the Commission believes, more firmly than before, in the existence of this consensus in the Member States.
Derfor mener jeg ikke, det er korrekt at tage Deres spørgsmål.
I would again like to refer to the fundamental decisions taken by the European Council in Stuttgart which I mentioned at the beginning.
Vi afslutter nu denne diskussion og går videre med spørgsmålene.
The appropriate agree ment between the Ministers of the Environment a week or so in advance paved the way for these deci-
Narjes. — (DE) Hr. Sieglerschmidt, jeg kan ikke følge Deres krav om en generel indførelse af en minimumstandard, da der — alt efter det enkelte tilfælde — kan ske det, at en maksimal opfyldelse af minimumstandarder kan føre til handelsforvridninger.
Mr Narjes. — (DE) Mr Sieglerschmidt, I cannot accept your demand for the general introduction of minimum standards, because — depending on the individual case — maximum fulfilment of minimum standards could lead to trade distortions.
I et sådant tilfælde er Fællesskabet på det interne marked bedre tjent med, at man går ud fra ens standarder.
There is greater benefit to the Community's internal market from uniform standards.
Skulle der altså ske det, som De omtalte, vil vi kun rejse indvending, hvis det er forbundet med et import forbud.
Should the situation you mention arise, we should only be able to accept it provided there were no import ban involved.
Spørgsmål nr. 10 af sir Fred Warner (H-664/83): Om: Fjernelse af mælkeoverskuddet i Fællesskabet
Mrs Schleicher (PPE). — (DE) Both Mr Seefeld, Mrs Weber and Mrs Seibel-Emmerling have criticized the Council's total failure.
USAs regering har udarbejdet en plan til begrænsning af mælkeproduktionen ved at betale producenterne for at bringe deres salg ned under deres normale »markedshistoriske« mængde.
Mr Seefeld (S). — (DE) Commissioner, thank you for your reply, but it was couched in somewhat legalistic terms and I would ask you to be more specific : What happens if one of the governments does not do what you want ?
Derved skulle hele mælkeoverskuddet i USA kunne fjernes.
You have said that the Commission is in favour of lead-free petrol.
Schleicher (PPE). — (DE) Både hr. Seefeld og fru Weber og fru Seibel-Emmerling har beklaget, at Miljøministerrådet totalt har svigtet.
The US Government has devised a scheme to limit production of milk by paying producers to reduce their sales below their normal 'marketing history' amount.
På det tidspunkt, hvis disse spørgsmål blev stillet, var det vel også på sin plads.
It is estimated that this could eliminate the entire milk surplus in the USA.
Er der altså efter det sidste møde i Miljøministerrådet ved at ske noget, og er der håb om, at Miljøministerrådet ikke fortsat svigter?
provoked any sort of reaction. Has there been any progress since the last meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Environment and are there any grounds for hope that something will be achieved ?
Er der eventuelt alligevel håb om, at Miljøministerrådet i over ensstemmelse med Parlamentets krav når frem til beslutninger?
Is there any chance that the Council of Ministers of the Environment will reach decisions on the basis of Parliament's demands ?
Narjes. — (DE) Først om det sidste møde i Miljøministerrådet: Alie de problemer, der skulle træffes afgørelse om, blev med en enkelt undtagelse løst, og her blev der gjort enorme fremskridt.
Mr Narjes. — (DE) As regards, first of all, the last meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Environment : with one exception, all the problems awaiting decision were solved and enormous progress was made.
Richard, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) De fore nede Staters regerings kortsigtede plan om betaling for ikke-produktion af mælk tager, så vidt Kommissionen har forstået, sigte på nedbringelse af lagrene på kort sigt.
Mr Richard, Member of the Commission. — The United States Government's short-term scheme to pay for non-production of milk is, as the Commission understands it, aimed at the short-term reduction of stocks.
En sådan plan kan ikke, medmindre den fortsættes i det uendelige, fjerne et strukturelt over skud af det omfang, vi har i Fællesskabet.
Such a scheme cannot, unless it is continued indefinitely, eliminate a structural surplus of the dimensions we have in the Community.
Kommissionens forslag har til formål permanent at nedbringe overskudsproduktionen og — ligeledes på et vedvarende grundlag — lageropbygningen.
The Commission's proposals have the object of reducing permanently the level of surplus production and thereby, equally on a continuing basis, the build-up of stocks.
De forenede Staters nuværende mejeripolitik indbefatter en række foranstaltninger med samme mål.
Current United States dairy policy includes a range of measures with the same object.
Kommissionen overvejer strukturstøtte for at hjælpe landbrugerne med at indstille mælkeproduktionen.
The Commission is considering structural aids to assist farmers to abandon milk production.
Det tilpasser til stadighed sine afsætningsforanstaltninger for at gøre dem mere effektive og mere udgiftseffektive.
It is constantly adapting its disposal policies to make them more efficient and more cost-effective.
Sparebestræbelserne forhindrer Kommissionen i på nuværende tidspunkt at overveje et mere omfattende kort sigtet program til nedbringelse af lagrene.
Budgetary constraints prevent the Commission from considering at this stage a major short-term programme of stock reduction.
For det andet har jeg indtryk af, at de fire spørgere er blevet påvirket af vildledende oplysninger om Miljø ministerrådet i november.
Secondly, I have the impression that the four ques tioners were influenced by a misleading report of the November meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Environment.
Dengang stod spørgsmålet om bly i benzin ikke på dagsordenen.
The question of the lead content of petrol was not on the agenda at this meeting.
Man rejste kun spørgsmålet, om der skulle formuleres en generel miljøerklæring — til en vis grad ved forhandlingsbordet, til forberedelse af topmødet i Athen.
The only point that arose was whether a general declaration on environmental matters should be issued — as it were from the conference table — in preparation for the Athens Summit.
Under disse nattedrøftelser om denne generelle, mere filosofisk-akademiske erklæring herskede der ingen enighed henimod kl. 2 om natten, og parterne opgav forsøget.
In the course of late-night discussions on this general declaration, which were more of a philosophical, academic nature, the participants were unable to reach agreement and gave up the attempt towards two o'clock in the morning.
Sir Fred Warner (ED). — (EN) Har Kommissionen nogen sinde på baggrund af, at Fællesskabets land brugspolitik i de sidste 20 år utvivlsomt har medført produktion på mange tvivlsomme jorder og har givet anledning til mange meget tvivlsomme produktioner til højeste pris på gode jorder, foretaget en omhyggelig og tilbundsgående undersøgelse af de sammen lignelige udgifter ved et system, der som nu giver penge til alle de producerede levnedsmidler, i modsætning til et system, der hæmmer en marginal produktion?
Sir Fred Warner (ED). — In view of the fact that agricultural policies pursued by the Community for the last 20 years have undoubtedly brought a great deal of marginal land into production and have given rise to a lot of very marginal production at the top rate on good land, has the Commission ever done a careful and profound study of the comparative costs of a system which provides, as at present, money for all food produced as opposed to a system which discourages marginal production ?
Det var det, der var afgørende for pressens opfattelse. Men det siger sikke noget om, hvorledes Miljøministerrådet træffer afgørelse.
All this coloured the press reports, but has no bearing on how the Council of Ministers of the Environment reaches decisions.
Tværtimod har jeg i næstsidste sætning af mit svar valgt en noget optimistisk formulering, fordi jeg i det sidste Miljøministerråd trods alt havde den glæde, at Miljøministerrådet godtog vor rammemiljøbestemmelse vedrørende bekæmpelse af luftforureningen, herunder det prekære punkt emissionskontrol og grænseværdier for kontrol med faste anlæg, der lå på det af os ønskede
On the contrary, the penultimate sentence of my reply was couched in more optimistic terms, in the light of the success of the last Council of Ministers meeting, when the Ministers of the Environment accepted our environmental framework regulation on air pollution, including the difficult question of the control of vehicle emissions and the standards for the control of fixed plant.
Richard. — (EN) Jeg håber, at sir Fred Warner vil undskylde mig, når jeg siger, at det tillægsspørgsmål, han netop stillede, faktisk befinder sig usædvanlig langt borte fra spørgsmålet om Kommissionens kommentarer til den plan, som De forenede Staters regering har indført for at klare den nuværende kort sigtede lagersituation for mælk i Amerikas forenede Stater.
Mr Richard. — I hope Sir Fred Warner will forgive me if I say that the supplementary that he has jut', put is really an extraordinarily long way away from asking for the -Commission's comments on a scheme introduced by the United States Government in order to deal with the present short-term stock situation of milk in the United States of America.
førtidspensionering for dem mellem 50 og 55 år, der ikke er helt raske, eller som har arbejdet under specielt hårde vilkår.
Mrs Seibel-Emmerling (S). — (DE) Madam President, you kindly asked whether, as questioner, I wished to put a supplementary question.
Den sociale støtteordning drøftes for øjeblikket i Rådets arbejdsgruppe.
Following the reply by the Commissioner, I would have liked to use my right to put a question as a member of my group.
Kommissionen håber i det mindste på en foreløbig rådsafgørelse i denne måned.
Could you explain why you refused my request ?
Jeg ved ikke — dette er det korte svar til ham — om Kommissionen rent faktisk har gennemført den undersøgelse, han henviste til.
I do not know — this is the short answer to him — whether the Commission has in fact carried out the study that he has referred to.
Jeg kan kun sige ham, at hvis Kommissionen har gennemført en sådan undersøgelse, har den naturligvis været både omhyggelig og tilbundsgående.
I can only tell him that if the Commission has carried out such a study, it would of course have been both careful and profound.
Lizin (S). — (FR) Jeg tror, at der allerede var et håb for to måneder siden.
(Laughter)
Men situationen bliver stadig værre, og de sociale planer for Cockrill-Sambre for Liège og Charleroi er ved at blive udarbejdet.
As you did not wish to put a supplementary question, I followed the usual procedure of calling one speaker from each language in each group.
(Munterhed)
Question No 10, by Sir Fred Warner (H-664/83) :
