I slutningen af 1984 var der 13,1 millioner arbejdsløse i EF. Det er 11,3% af den erhvervsaktive befolkning, mod 7,2% i USA.
At the end of 1986 there were 16.4 million unemployed — just over 11% of the working population, as against 7% in the United States, yet in 1982 Community and American unemployment levels were the same.
I 1982 stod Europa og USA lige. Af de arbejdsløse er 5,1 millioner unge under 25 år.
There are 5.9 million unemployed young people under 25 or one in four of the youth population.
USA, som fra starten havde en større arbejdsløshed, skabte fra 1973 til 1983 15 millioner nye arbejdspladser.
Between 1975 and 1985 the United States, which admittedly had higher unemployment at the start, created 23.5 million new jobs.
I samme tidsrum mistede Europa 3 millioner arbejdspladser.
In the same time the Community lost 900,000.
EF har siden 1960 haft en socialfond til forbedring af den faglige uddannelse og til omskoling af arbejdstagere.
The Community has had a 'Social Fund' since 1960, to improve the vocational training of workers.
I 1983 modtog 1.800.000 mennesker støtte fra socialfonden, blandt dem 750.000 unge. Fælles skabet og medlemsstaterne deles om finansieringen af denne støtte.
In 1985, for instance, 2.7 million people — including 2,350,000 youngsters — benefited from Social Fund projects, financed jointly by the Community and the member countries.
Arbejdsløsheden skal bekæmpes!
Attacking unemployment
I 1987 var der afsat mere end 2,7 mia ECU til EFs socialfond.
The European Social Fund is not small — it ran to more than £1.7 billion in 1987 — but social security in the member countries costs some 400 times as much.
Dog udgør medlemslandenes sociale sikringsordninger 400 gange mere.
That is why the European Parliament has helped to enlarge the Fund over the years.
Derfor kræver Europa-Parlamentet, som alle rede har sørget for flere saltvandsindsprøjtninger til fonden i årenes løb, at midlerne til EFs socialfond skal for dobles.
Since 1984 threequarters of the Social Fund has been set aside for young people under 25. Other recipients include the longterm unemployed, women resuming a
markedet, vandrende arbejdstagere, handicappede samt folk under faglig uddannelse.
Regions with high unemployment now receive 40% of the total figure.
I juni 1983 besluttede Ministerrådet, at tre fjerdedele af socialfondens bevillinger fra nu af skulle gå til unge under 25 år.
Where are new jobs needed most? Young people are hit hardest by unemployment, and they have top priority.
Der skal først og fremmest skaffes arbejdspladser til de unge, som
Unemployment in Europe and the United States in millions
blev de første ofre for arbejdsløsheden.
For women, who also bear the brunt of unemployment, Parliament has demanded finance from the European Social Fund in proportion to their percentage of the total unemployment figure.
På dette punkt vil succes eller fiasko være altafgørende for Fælles skabets troværdighed.
The area of greatest demand is in the small business sector, which accounts for 70% of jobs -thanks to new technology.
om at forbedre kvindens vilkår.
Indeed, the Community has long supported women's rights.
I 1976 vedtog Fællesskabet, at kvinden skulle have lige så meget i løn som manden for det samme arbejde.
In 1976 it insisted that women should receive equal pay for equal work.
I 1978 fik man gennemført lige muligheder for begge køn med hensyn til beskæftigelse og faglig uddannelse.
In 1978 it enforced equal opportunities in access to employment and vocational training, as well as in working conditions and promotion at work.
I 1984 sikrede Fællesskabet kvinden lige behandling, for så vidt angår social sikring.
In 1984 it established equal treatment in the social security field.
Domstolen har i øvrigt ved flere lejligheder grebet ind for at få bestemmelserne overholdt. F.eks. i 1976 da den gav en belgisk stewardesse medhold i, at hun skulle have samme løn som sine mandlige kolleger.
The Court of Justice has repeatedly ruled on this point — as in 1976, when it upheld the case of a Belgian air hostess who was claiming the same pay as her male colleagues. leagues.
Der skal fremfor alt skabes nye arbejdspladser i de små og mellemstore virksomheder , som tegner sig for 70% af det samlede antal beskæftigede. Og især den nye teknologi skal skaffe nye arbejdspladser.
Parliament is aware of the serious problem of unemployment facing many Europeans today and has continued to press for Community as well as national action in this field.
Kvinderne er — som sagt — meget hårdt ramt af arbejdsløsheden.
There is still much to be done.
EF har jo længe været drivkraft, når det gjaldt
For instance, in 1985 women working

A role for women
Europa-Parlamentet har også beskæftiget sig med det stadig omsiggribende nakotikaproblem.
Parliament has been disturbed by the increase in drug taking and the terrible consequences.
Og man kræver tilstrækkelige midler til præventiv oplysning, genintegrering af tidligere narkomaner i samfundet og behandling af narkomaner.
It has called for common policies to deal with international drug trafficking, production and use of drugs, and for improved medical help for addicts.
I 1981 tjente kvinderne i industrien i gennemsnit mellem 63 og 85% af, hvad mændene tjente.
in industry were earning only between 66% and 86% of men's pay, depending on the country.
Ved f.eks. at opmuntre virksomhederne til at ind føre særlige handlingsprogrammer for kvinder. Dette praktiseres allerede med stor succes i USA og Sverige.
One way of making progress would be to encourage companies to set up special programmes for women; this approach is already obtaining results in the United States and Sweden.
Parlamentet insisterer især på, at det er nødvendigt at uddanne kvinder til de nye teknologier, for at de ikke skal blive låst fast i de typiske »kvindejobs«.
Parliament stresses the need to train women in the new technologies, so that they are not restricted to the traditional 'women's jobs'.
Normerne for uddannelse af kvinder er faktisk forældede.
In Parliament's view, the present crisis cannot be used as an excuse to curtail women's freedom of choice: women are not a reserve labour force, to be called up when required and sent home when demand slackens off.
Parlamentet mener, at der under ingen omstændigheder kan blive tale om at drage det frie erhvervsvalg i tvivl med den nuværende krise som påskud. Kvinderne er nemlig ikke en arbejdsreserve, som man hidkalder i økonomiske opgangstider for så at sende dem hjem til kødgryderne, når det går den anden vej.
After setting up a special committee of inquiry into the situation facing women today, Parliament drew the conclusion that sexual violence is on the increase and needs to be tackled not only through harsher penal sentences but also through preventative means.
Europa-Parlamentet har fuldt ud fattet situationens alvor. I lighed med de millioner af europæere, som har valgt Europa-Parlamentets med lemmer, siger det nej til et arbejdsløs hedens Europa.
The three Presidents of Parliament, Council and Commission have signed a declaration which vigorously condemns 'all forms of intolerance, hostility and use of force against per sons on the grounds of racial, religious, cultural, social or national differences'. ferences'.
Europæerne kan spise sig mætte hver dag.
Every day the people of Europe have enough to eat.
Den fælles landbrugspolitik har således nået et af sine mål, nemlig at sikre stabile levnedsmiddelsforsyninger.
It can thus be said that the common agricultural policy (CAP), which has evolved as an inte­gral part of the European Community from the outset, has achieved one of its objectives: to guarantee a regular supply of food.
Et andet mål er at sikre land mændene en rimelig indkomst.
A second objective is to guarantee a reasonable income for farmers.
Endvidere tilstræber man stabile og rimelige priser.
Through good years and bad years, these objec­tives have always been attained.
Og i praksis er disse mål blevet nået.
Sunflowers (above) have become a major crop.
Målene er nået, men ...
Objectives achieved but...
Fællesskabets landbrugsprodukter er beskyttede i forhold til tredjelandes.
Nevertheless, the agricultural policy is in a crisis because the prices of many products are lower on the world market.
Mange produkterer billigere på verdensmarkedet.
If these prices were applied in the Community, many farmers would be ruined.
Men hvis priserne var lige så lave i Fællesskabet, ville ikke så få landmænd blive ruineret.
Consequent­ly, a tax is levied on imports of farm products from outside the Communi­ty in order to bring the prices of those products into line with Community prices.
Landbrugsvarer fra tredjelande pålægges en importafgift, som skal bringe priserne for disse produkter på linje med EFs landbrugspriser.
Community products are in this way accorded preferential treat­ment.
Nogle kritiserer denne ordning, som de finder protektionistisk.
In some quarters, this arrange­ment is criticised as protectionist.
Samt lige lande har dog i perioder beskyttet deres landbrug på dene ene eller den anden måde.
But countries have always pro­tected their agriculture in one way or another.
I USA ydes der lån til producenterne, støtte til oplagring og eksportgarantier.
This is particularly true of the United States, which provides loans for producers, storage aid and export guarantees.
I 1983 har hver amerikansk landmand i gennemsnit mod taget 6.000 dollar, den europæiske landmand derimod kun 1.600.
In 1986, each American farmer received on average $ 11,000 in aid, as compared with $2,000 for each European farmer.
I april 1984 blev der gjort noget drastisk, idet der blev indført produktionskvoter for mælk, som producenterne eller mejerierne — det kan hvert land selv bestemme — skal overholde.
There was an abrupt change of course in April 1984, when milk quotas were introduced.
De, der ikke holder sig inden for kvoterne, straffes med en særlig afgift.
Excess production is now penalised by a special levy.
Sådanne foranstaltninger er ikke særlig morsomme.
No-one likes such measures, but something had to be done to stem the rising tide of milk.
Men kan man finde på noget bedre for at dæmme op for »mælkesøen«?
The European Parliament is aware of the need to reduce stocks that pile up in stores — milk, butter, meat and cereals.
Europa-Parlamentet er klar over, at det er nødvendigt at mod virke disse overskud.
At the end of 1986 stocks worth £7.5 billion were in store and the Community urgently needs a policy to get rid of surpluses and limit production.
For vin er det frem for alt kvaliteten, som tæller.
For quality wine it's the grapes that count
Der er overskudslagre af mælk, smør, oksekød og korn. I oktober 1986 lå der for 12 mia ECU landbrugsvarer på EFs overskudslagre.
The issue of imports and exports is controversial but the European Parliament considers that both the United States and Europe have nothing to gain by engaging in a subsidies war.
Det skønnes dog, at den reelle salgsværdi er under 6 mia ECU.
That said, many MEPs are worried by imports of animal feed from the US at a reduced or zero rate.
Det er nødvendigt hurtigt at afvikle EFs bugnende overskudslagre.
These are used extensively by the socalled 'milk factories' who themselves are primarily responsible for milk surpluses.
Og samtidig må man forhindre, at der opstår nye overskudslagre ved at begrænse overskudsproduktionen af landbrugsvarer.
The question of a global policy for fats and to include margarine as well as butter is under consideration.
Endvidere må man sørge for, at EFs landmænd ikke bliver de store tabere i denne omstillingsproces.
Many MEPs are also worried about the effect of EC exports on the developing countries.
Et middel hertil er direkte ind komststøtte til de berørte landmænd.
Food aid should not be an end in itself.
I løbet af årene er EFs land mænd blevet mere og mere effektive og har produceret mere og mere.
One of the key objectives of the Community was to set up a common market for agricultural products, with in which they could be freely traded, between member countries.
Landbrugspolitikken er blevet et offer for sin egen succes, idet en række EF-landbrugsvarer ikke kan finde tilstrækkeligt med aftagere, bl.a. mælk og smør.
With this end in view, common prices are set in ECUs, though there are variations when translated into national curren-
Det må så enten oplagres eller eksporteres, og det kræver støtte fra EF; der blev i 1983 givet mere end 4 milliarder ECU ud blot til eksport støtte.
Over the years farmers have modernised production to achieve in creased yields to such an extent that agricultural policy has in some respects been a victim of its success.
Det svarer til knap en femtedel af det samlede EF-budget.
Now many Community products are in surplus.
Det er foruroligende tal. Man kan ikke producere
This is particularly true of milk and butter.
Men EF og USA har intet at vinde ved at slås om kunder fra deres landbrugseksport.
Consequently, these products must either be stockpiled or exported at a subsidised price.
Og både i EF og USA gives der støtte til landbrugseksporten, så man er konkurrencedygtig på verdens markedet.
In 1986, export subsidies accounted for more than £4,310 million or one-fifth of the the entire Community budget.
Mange EF-parlamentarike-re er bekymrede over den landbrugsimport, som erstatter europæisk korn som kvægfoder.
This situation is unacceptable.
Og andre er bekymrede over den negative virkning, som EFs landbrugseksport kan have for

The world's food producers need to get together to avoid a trade war.
EFs fødevarehjælp bør således ikke være et mål i sig selv.

Priserne fastsættes for størstedelens ved kommende på EF-plan, dvs. at priserne — i princippet — er de samme fra Napoli til København og fra Hamborg til Marseille.
The dialogue between North and South occasionally runs into difficulty, because the products of the southern regions of the Community are accorded less generous treatment.
Men de ustabile valutaer skaber mange problemer for den fælles land brugspolitik, og man har indført så kaldte monetære udligningsbeløb.
This injustice needs to be tackled without creating new surpluses of products such as olive oil.
En devaluering af et lands valuta skulle under normale omstændigheder betyde en lettelse for landbrugseksporten fra det pågældende land, og i øvrigt også for den samlede eksport.
Structures are therefore more important than prices for the industrially weak Mediterranean regions, where the economy is based on agriculture and there is high unemployment.
Derimod skulle de importerede varer blive dyrere.
They lag behind most of the Community and the gap is not being closed.
Det er her, de monetære udligningsbeløb kommer ind i billedet.
So agriculture has to be improved — with more efficient production and better marketing — and jobs also have to be created for the extra manpower this will make available.
I samhandelen med landbrugsvarer i EF udligner de ændringen i valutaer nes værdi og opretholder derved kun stigt vekselkurserne, som de var før devalueringen eller revalueringen. Denne ordning kan virke meget nega
The European Parliament supports the idea of 'Integrated Mediterranean Programmes', which will maximise the effect of such concerted action.
Det er noget af et dilemma, for retter man op på denne uretfærdighed, vil det kunne blive ensbetydende med, at der ydes en ubegrænset økonomisk støtte til ny overskudsproduktion. Markedet for olivenolie er et godt eksempel på dette.
The common agricultural policy is often criticised as a whole be cause it is expensive and because it is allegedly to blame for the exhaustion of Community resources.
Derfor skal der i højere grad tages sigte på strukturerne end på priserne.
Hence the proposal that the entire edifice of CAP expenditure should be dismantled.
Middelhavsregionerne, hvis økonomi i det væsentligste er baseret på landbrug, er industrielt underudviklet og har en meget stor arbejdsløshed.
To this the policy's defenders reply that a 'de-Europeanised', re-nationalised and re-compartmentalised agricultural sector would constitute a still great er drain on resources.
De er mere tilbagestående end de fleste andre regioner i Fællesskabet, og forskellen er ikke blevet mindre snarere tværtimod.
The point of these border taxes, of course, is to offset the unfair competitive advantage that may be gained by one member country over another when currencies are devalued or revalued, though the weakness of the system is that it tends to penalise the exports of countries with weak curren cies and give an unfair edge to those with stronger ones.
I disse re gioner er det nødvendigt dels at udvik le landbrugssektoren — forbedre produktionen og markedsføringen — dels at skabe beskæftigelse for at skaffe arbejde til den overskydende arbejdskraft inden for landbruget.
Parliament argues that it is high time these monetary compensatory amounts were phased out, and the Council of Ministers has decided to ensure that they are phased out together with any arising from new currency fluctuations.
Der for er der opstået den tanke — som Europa-Parlamentet har støttet — at der bør etableres »integrerede middel havsprogrammer«, kaldet integrerede fordi de har til formål at kombinere flere forskellige aktioner for at gøre dem så effektive som muligt.
The proportion of the active population engaged in agriculture varies from one country to another: 2.6% in the United Kingdom as opposed to 28.9% in Greece: 7.6% in France compared with 11.2% in Italy and 16% in Ireland. Obviously, a country like the
Den fælles landbrugspolitik kritiseres ofte for at være dyr. Den udgjorde 73% af EF-budgettet i 1985 eller 20,5 milliarder ECU, og der er stærke krav fremme om at reducere landbrugsudgifterne.
United Kingdom, where the proportion is small, feels more justified in criticising an agricultural policy which absorbs more than half the Community budget.
Som følge heraf hænger debatten om EFs fremtidige finansiering nøje sammen med drøftelserne om den fælles landbrugspolitik.
This explains why the de bate on EC finances is closely bound up with the debate on the common agricultural policy.
En sanering af den fælles land brugspolitik er således en forudsætning for at øge EFs »egne indtægter«.
There will be little progress in other areas until the CAP is reformed.
I Europa-Parlamentet foregår der op hidsede diskussioner om den fælles landbrugspolitik. Men selv om med lemmerne af Parlamentet langt fra altid er enige om retningslinjerne for landbrugsolitikken, så er det dog kun få, der vil sætte spørgsmålstegn ved grundlaget for den.
Admittedly, the members of the European Parliament find it difficult to reach agreement on agricultural policy guidelines, but that is no reason for arguing that the policy should be abolished or for attempting to undermine its foundations.
Den procentdel af befolkningen, der er beskæftiget ved landbruget, varierer fra land til land; i Storbritannien udgør den 2,8% af den erhvervsaktive befolkning mod 30,3% i Grækenland og 8,5% i Danmark.

The European option
Kan derimod visse mål gennemføres bedre af EF end af en keltstaterne, så er der kun én måde, hvorpå skattetrykket kan lettes, og det er ved at styrke Fællesskabets politik og øge dets udgifter samtidig med, at enkeltstaternes politik svækkes og deres udgifter skæres ned«.
If, on the other hand, certain objectives can be better achieved by the Twelve than by the national ad ministrations, the only way of even tually diminishing the tax burden on our national economies is to expand the policies and hence the expenditure of the Community, while contracting national policies and expenditure.
Denne ud talelse er fremsat af et medlem af Europa-Parlamentet, og derfra stammer parolen: — Lad Europa gøre det, som Europa kan gennemføre mere effektivt og med færre omkostninger end de enkelte stater alene. Hverken mere eller mindre.
The logic of this is that Europe should be entrusted with what it can do more effectively and more cheaply than the member countries individually.
EF skal opbygges for at få bugt med spild og overflødige gentagelser.
Put another way, the purpose of Community policies should be to combat waste and the duplication of effort.
Det er ikke alle former for europæisk politik, der koster penge.
Not all the European policies cost money.
Det koster f.eks. intet eller næsten intet at vedtage, at læger fra én medlemsstat frit kan etablere sig i en anden med-

Besparelser ved EF-samarbejdet
Money can be saved
11987 var EF-budgettet på godt 36 milliarder ECU til finansiering af EF-samarbejdet.
Money must also be found to pay for the Community's administration, in other words, for some 20,000 European officials.
Det er mindre end 2% af de 12 EF-landes samlede natio nale budgetter, og det udgør ikke en gang 1% af Fællesskabets »nationalprodukt«.
Is this a large bureaucracy? Hardly, when you consider that twice as many civil servants work for a national Ministry of Agriculture alone.
På ranglisten over firmaer ville EF komme ind på 16. pladsen med et budget, der svarer til omsætningen i Unilever, Toyota eller Elf-Aquitaine.
If, say, the European Parliament did not exist, the money released would not be enough for the European taxpayer to buy even one extra packet of cigarettes a year.
IBMs årlige udbytte er alene 8 gange så stort som EFs udgifter til forskning og investering!
The price of one packet of cigarettes a year is, then, more or less what we have to pay for the privilege of democracy in the European Community.
Cirka halvdelen stammer fra de toldog landbrugsafgifter, der opkræves ved Fællesskabets ydre grænser for varer, der importeres fra tredjelande, og den anden halvdel fra en procentsats af momsen i medlemsstaterne.
Other activities do of course cost money: distributing cheap milk to schools, giving grants to students enabling them to spend part of their time studying in another Community country, modernising farms, developing a nuclear fusion reactor, financing projects for tapping solar energy, supply ing developing countries with food aid such as cereals, contributing to the development of a telephone network or to the construction of a motorway in a poor region, promoting the vocational training of young workers, cofinancing a programme for the application of biotechnology to the agrifoodstuffs sector.
