Johnson. — (EN) Fru formand, De har netop fra formandsstolen truffet en afgørelse, som åbenbart oprindeligt blev truffet af lady Elles, og i henhold til hvilken antallet af tillægsspørgsmål begrænses til ét pr. gruppe.
The general acceptance that has emerged in the course of this debate I find personally encouraging.
Med al respekt, mener jeg virkelig ikke, at formanden kan træffe den slags afgørelser.
There were two major issues here, and I should like to deal with them in the way in which Parliament generally seems to accept it.
Enten findes denne bestemmelse i vor forretningsorden, eller også er den der ikke.
Should it be mandatory or should it be voluntary was one of them ...
Og Kommissionen vil utvivlsomt fortsætte
Membership of Committees : see Minutes.
Formanden. — Netop på dette punkt er vor forret ningsorden meget upræcis: Der findes en række procedurer, som er blevet praksis i overensstemmelse med den parlamentariske tradition.
In view of the disturbing increase in the budget deficits of European countries, what recommendations are envisaged by the Commission?
Der er altså tale om Parlamentets ret i dets helhed, og de sidste 3—4 mødeperioder er spørgsmål blevet udsat til den følgende spørgetid, og man når aldrig igennem alle spørgsmålene til spørgetiden. Det drejer sig altså om en parlamentarisk ret.
Does it not consider that urgent measures should be taken to secure greater rigour in the management of public funds in all Member States on the part of central and local authorities alike?
Hr. Cottrell har ordet til forretningsordenen.
Question No 32 by Mr Cecovini (H-273/82):
Formanden. — Netop dette spørgsmål, fru van den Heuvel, blev drøftet i formiddag i præsidiet, fordi vi havde konstateret, at der under sidste spørgetid kun blev foretaget fire spørgsmål, og det er ikke i overens stemmelse med parlamentarisk ret eller med alle medlemmernes ret.
Mr Cousté. — (FR) I am grateful to Mr Ortoli for his answer, but I find that he has not replied to the second part of my question.
Derfor, og også af hensyn til svarene til medlemmerne og af hensyn til kommissærernes ret, har vi fundet, at det var ønskeligt at få bedre kontrol over spørgetiden.
I therefore wish to put a supple mentary, since I was well aware that in June a number of observations on budgetary discipline in the Member States were forwarded to the Council.
Fru Kellett-Bowman har ordet til forretningsordenen.
The Commission has presumably welcomed the efforts made by the German and Italian Governments to limit their national budget deficits in 1983.
Cottrell. — (EN) Fru formand, jeg har efter en drøftelse med Deres rådgivere forstået, at det i realiteten nu er praksis, at medlemmerne af Parlamentet, ja, endog af min egen gruppe, skriftligt anmoder om at få lov at stille et tillægsspørgsmål.
What I wanted to ask was whether there were not urgent measures to be taken precisely at a time when each of the Member States is preparing for budget dis cussions.
Vil De sige mig, om De finder det acceptabelt?
It seems to me that if we want convergence — a point made very well by Mr Ortoli — then we must hold the budget deficits within narrow limits.
For hvis det er tilfældet, så kan vi jo lige så godt opgive enhver form for spontanitet under spørgetiden, hvor det i øvrigt allerede er småt med spontaniteten.
Does not a figure of 1 ·5%, for example, seem to be a reasonable norm for the Community as a whole?
Formanden. — Ja, hr. Cottrell, jeg tager Deres bemærkning til efterretning, men jeg gør Dem opmærksom på, at dette spørgsmål vil blive forelagt udvalget for forretningsordenen med henblik på en forbedring.
Mr Ortoli, Vice-President of the Commission. — (FR) We have had occasion to discuss the budgetary guidelines every year when presenting our annual report on economic activity to the Council, after examining it with Parliament.
Det er helt uretfærdigt, at min gruppe skal begrænses til ét tillægsspørgsmål, specielt fordi der tilfældigvis altid er mange fra min gruppe til stede under spørgetiden, mens socialisterne kan få tildelt en lang række tillægsspørgsmål, fordi de stiller dem på en række forskellige sprog.
Subsequently, over the year, it is up to the organizations stipulated in the Treaty, and in particular the Commission, to keep a close watch on the implementation and effects of these policies.
Enright. — (EN) Fru formand, de europæiske demokrater er tilsyneladende af den opfattelse, at de har eneret på at komme først, og jeg er taknemmelig over, at det nu er min tur.
On the one hand we have several countries that will find it quite impossible to peg back their budget deficits to the kind of level he men tioned within such a short time.
Formanden. — Fru Kellett-Bowman, jeg mener, at jeg har talt ét fællesskabssprog, takket være vore tolke.
Where one country has a deficit of over 10% of the GDP today, at a time of crisis, it is imperative that it be brought down.
Forretningsordensudvalget vil få forelagt de af medlemmerne fremsatte bemærkninger, og vi vil forbedre afviklingen af spørgetiden.
In other countries the budgets are still under control, and the policy one would like to see them pursue is certainly impossible to express in quantifiable terms.
Endnu et spørgsmål fra den konservative gruppe? Det må være tredje eller fjerde gang.
In 1981, for example, on the occasion of the debate on the report on the economic situation, it had an opportunity to consider the budgetary forecasts we had drawn up.
Hr. Pearce har ordet til forretningsordenen.
It is by acting on the general situation in each country that we must gradually reduce the public deficit.
Det var meget klogt af lady Elles at træffe den af Dem omtalte afgørelse, og hvis vi overhovedet skal bevare en smule spontanitet her i spørgetiden, så ville det efter min mening være helt forkert at lade dette anliggende gå videre til udvalget for forretningsordenen og for andragender og i øvrigt at lade alle mulige regler nedfælde sort på hvidt. Det ville være helt forkert.
But over and above this exercise, which is very impor tant since it concerns an annual report, we took the initiative in June of forwarding to the Council a special communication on budgetary discipline, on which Parliament has also been consulted. This com munication, brief as it is, sets out a number of princi ples.
Det, De har gjort, har været en hjælp i spørgetiden og vil fortsat være det, og jeg mener, at vi bør fastholde denne linje.
It is designed to provide a more general framework for the discussions within the Council when it considers the annual report.
Formanden. — Fru van den Heuvel har ordet til forretningsordenen.
A preliminary dis cussion on the communication was held in July.
Pearce. — (EN) Fru formand, med al respekt, er det ikke op til Dem at afgøre, hvorfra der skal komme indlæg til forretningsordenen.
I shall refrain from going into the detail, suffice it to say that it consists primarily of an assessment of the evolution of the budget in broader terms.
Fru formand, De er tilsyneladende gået væk fra d'Hondts system, der er udtænkt netop med henblik på at få en rimelig fordeling af forskellige ...
In any event, the general recommendations we have put together are in the hands of the Member States, which will examine them again in October.
van den Heuvel. — (NL) Fru formand, skal vi sikre en rimelig afvikling af forhandlingerne i Parlamentet, forekommer det mig ønskeligt, at vi, så længe udvalget for forretningsordenen og for andragender ikke har udtalt sig om den af lady Elles foreslåede procedure for spørgetiden, fortsat går frem som fastsat i forretningsordenen.
And the debate Mr Cousté wants — and which we shall have — on the trends in budget deficits will take place when the annual report is submitted, at a time when we shall be able to see more clearly the overall trend of the economy and the role played by the differences between the macro-economic, monetary and budget ary tendencies in each of our countries.
Jeg vil også anbefale, at
As for the general approach, that is perfectly unambiguous.
(Kraftige protester fra venstrefløjen) meget stor mangel på arbejdskraft i Fællesskabet?
that rules my own country at the moment, then unemployment would be less and we should be moving towards a worldwide solution?
Formanden. — Kære kolleger, det er ikke noget indlæg til forretningsordenen, og vi skal videre med spørgetiden.
President. — Before calling Mr Simmonds for a supplemenatry question, I should like to recall the procedure and the Rule governing the debate on questions to the Commission and Council.
Spørgsmål nr. 3 af Berkhouwer (H-213/82):
Mr Ortoli. — (FR) I do not immediately recall the initiative referred to.
Kan Kommissionen ikke insistere på, at der åbnes en fællesskabskanal, således at f.eks. havnen i Zeebrugge, som engang var en havn, men nu er et bureaukrati, kan fungere som en normal importkanal?
I believe I am right in thinking that at this Luxembourg conference a number of decisions were taken and joint guidelines adopted and that all the participants were agreed on these guidelines.
Hvad agter Kommissionen at foretage sig med hensyn til de generende nye forsinkelser, der opstår ved grænsen mellem Belgien og Nederlandene som følge af kontrollen med den bagage, de rejsende medfører i deres biler?
As far as I am concerned, I continued — without know ing that you would put the question — to work in the direction we have indicated, an approach that has received a very wide measure of support, in particular as regards all aspects of investment policy.
Narjes. — (DE) Jeg deler den utilfredshed over ekspeditionspraksis mange steder i Europa, som kommer til udtryk i tillægsspørgsmålet.
As for Mr Delors, the most recent thing I know is the budget he put forward, one year after the Luxembourg conference.
Det er kun én løsning på det problem, der omtales her: Der skal hurtigst muligt tilvejebringes de retlige forudsætninger for, at grænsekontrollen kan ophæves fuld stændigt.
But if you wish to elaborate on the point of your question, I shall of course be only too happy to answer.
Narjes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Kommissionen er foruroliget over at kunne konstatere, at toldkontrollen ved grænsen mellem Belgien og Nederlandene er blevet forstærket af belgiske toldmyndigheder. Kommissionen mener, at denne praksis er et betydeligt tilbageskridt i forhold til de hidtidige forhold ved denne interne grænse.
Mr Simmonds. — Would the Commission note the progress of Mrs Thatcher's government in containing public expenditure, and the resulting downward effect on inflation, and would the Commission also note that the implementation of the British Labour Party's manifesto by the Socialist president of the Republic of France in increasing public expenditure has manifestly failed?
van Minnen. — (NL) Jeg håber ikke, at Kommissionen vil vente til 1984 og begrænse sin bekymring til den belgisk-hollandske grænse.
President. — Question No 2, by Mr Dalziel (H-183/ 82):
Denne udvikling er så meget alvorligere, som kontrollen ved grænseovergangene mellem Beneluxlandene hidtil har været forbilledagtig, og Fællesskabets borgere var sig dette bevidst.
Mr Ortoli. — (FR) May I say to the honourable Member that I have not come here to distribute praise or criticism according to the political complexion of a given governement?
Der er den risiko, at hvis man går væk fra den hidtidige liberale ordning for kontrol af fællesskabsorgerne ved grænseovergangene, vil et af de få synlige tegn, hvortil håbet om fortsat udvikling henimod noget i retning af interne markedsforhold i Fællesskabet kunne klamre sig, falde bort. Kommissionen har derfor gjort forestillinger over for den belgiske regering med det formål omgående at genoprette den hidtidige kontrolordning ved overgang af den nævnte grænse.
In view of the fact that Porsche of Stuttgart in their dealings and contracts, including their stand ard importer agreements, does not consider itself obliged to sell in Germany the right-hand drive cars of UK specification which it supplies to its dealers in the UK, what investigations are being undertaken by the Commission concerning this and other breaches by motor manufacturers of the rules on competition in Articles 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty?
Jeg kan kun i al almindelighed henvise til, at et af vore forslag tager sigte på at give de befolkninger, der lever i nærheden af grænseovergangene, generel mulighed for fri grænseovergang.
For example : the sovereign right of the Greek government to decide for itself which subsidies to give, and to whom, would be abolished. .
Berkhouwer. — (NL) Som tillægsspørgsmål vil jeg gerne stille Kommissionen et yderst politisk spørgsmål, og jeg går ud fra, at Kommissionen også vil besvare det positivt.
Mr Ortoli. — (FR) I hope that we are all aware that we make up a Community, with both Member States and the Community having their rights and obligations.
Det ville være yderst beklage ligt, hvis de kandidater, altså især fra de tre Beneluxlande, som i 1984 skal præsentere sig for Europas vælgere, og således naturligvis for vælgerne i Holland, Belgien og Luxembourg, af disse vælgere skulle høre, at situationen ved grænserne mellem Beneluxlandene er blevet endnu værre, end den var i 1979, da de første gang gik til stemmeurnerne.
Now one of the Community's obligations, laid down quite explicitly by the Treaty and by an agree ment concluded between the Member States, is to hold a joint discussion on the various ways of achieving the greatest possible economic progress within the Com munity.
I min mundtlige forespørgsel (0-54/81) af 29. oktober 1981 opfordrede jeg Kommissionen til at træffe konkrete foranstaltninger for at leve op til erkendelserne i »Global 2000« og »Global future — Time to aet«.
The Commission is likewise surveying other potential cases, amongst them Porsche AG. In the latter case we discovered sufficient cause for concern and have requested Porsche A.G. to provide us with answers to specific questions.
Under forhandlingen den 19. no vember 1981 nævnte kommissær Narjes mulig heden for at skabe et ekspertråd.
The latter will determine the fol low-up the Commission deems appropriate.
Har Kommissionen i mellemtiden nærmere defineret mål og opgaver for det nævnte ekspertråd, og er medlemmerne af rådgivningsudvalget i mellemtiden blevet udpeget?
The fact that we said what we thought does not mean to say that they do not retain their rights. But let us at least discharge our responsibilities.
Hr. Pearce har ordet til forretningsordenen.
Mr Dalziel. — Has the Commissioner been surprised or disappointed so far by the reaction of Ford of Ger many to his announcement in the middle of August, and if he has been disappointed, what further steps does he anticipate taking and when?
Sherlock. — (EN) Det glæder mig at høre, at Kommissionen er enig i, at forholdene generelt er uacceptable. Men er Kommissionen ikke også enig i, at dette er et af områderne, hvor der synes at være
Mr Enright. — Would the Commissioner not also agree that according to the Treaty of Rome there is a Community duty to ensure full employment through out the Community, and that had in fact the Jacques Delors initiative put forward at the Luxembourg Jumbo Conference been followed by all Member States, and in particular the iniquitous government
(Protester fra venstrefløjen)
Mr Andriessen, Member of the Commission. — (NL) The Commission always finds it regrettable
Jeg udfordrer Dem igen til at forsvare, hvad De gør, i overensstemmelse med Parlamentets forretningsorden.
when certain sectors of the Community refuse to accept its jurisdiction.
De afskaffer d'Hondts system, De nægter medlemmer deres demokratiske ret til at repræsentere de menne­sker, de ønsker at repræsentere.
The case of Ford was quite blatant and we have taken appropriate measures.
Jeg opfordrer Dem til at forklare Deres adfærd i dette anliggende, og jeg vil gerne spørge Dem, om Deres antipati over for det, vi forsøger at gøre i vor gruppe, skulle have noget at gøre med, at vi er konservative, og at De ikke er det.
Should we find concrete evidence that Porsche has contravened the competition or other clauses of the Treaty of Rome we shall not hesitate to institute proceedings similar to those in the case of Ford. The same applies to all similar contraventions.
Narjes. — (DE) Navnene på de fem rådgivere er: professor Colombo, Italien; professor Hansmeyer, Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland; den tidligere neder­landske minister, Dr. Ginjaar; professor Rouvier, Frankrig; lord Northfield, Storbritannien.
Mr Andriessen, Member of the Commission. — (NL) I do not feel it prudent to assume that the results of the Commission's investigations should automatically lead it to the Court of Justice to enforce the competition rules.
Formanden. — Hr. Pearce, jeg vil gerne erindre Dem om, at det var et indlæg til forretningsordenen og ikke et spørgsmål, som jeg gav Dem ordet til, for det er en parlamentarisk ret, som jeg naturligvis aner­kender fuldt ud.
It is within the Commission's powers to make a ruling in cases where, for example, the competition rules are being contravened.
De fem herrer får ikke automatisk forelagt hvert enkelt projekt, det ville overbelaste deres arbejdskraft til dels med formelle betragtninger.
The example of Ford has been mentioned and the Commission will, I imagine, follow that up with others in the near future.
Vi forbeholder os at indkalde dem, når der opstår et behov for rådgiv­ning, eller når det fremgår af debatten, at der fra rådgivernes side er behov for rådgivning.
On the contrary, I feel it is up to those undertakings who have been indicted to take up the matter with the Court of Justice if they feel hard done by.
Det viser sig, at den konservative gruppe laver en scene, mens jeg i dag har forsædet.
President. — I know, Mr Cottrell, that you would like to ask a supplementary question.
Denne sag bør drøftes af gruppernes formandskab og i præsidiet såvel som i forretningsordensudvalget.
I believe that the precedent was set by Lady Elles herself who enforced this principle at previous Question Time sessions.
Når det er sagt, vil vi gå videre med mødet i dag på denne måde.
So, if you will, to carry on with questions which interest all Members, we shall call on other groups.
Narjes. — (DE) Arbejdet sigter ikke i hvert enkelt tilfælde mod udarbejdelse af formelle beretninger. Men når der udarbejdes beretninger, vil Kommis­sionen gerne viderebringe dem til Parlamentet.
Mr Beazley. — Whilst appreciating that the purpose of the Commissioner's efforts is to permit Community citizens to purchase European motor vehicles at the most favourable prices and thereby to make the European motor manufacturing industry world-competitive, does not the Commissioner agree that the princi pal reason for the motor industry's differential pricing in different Me/nber States derives from circumstances outside motor manufacturers' competence — that is, that customers are naturally exploiting the differences in taxation between Member States, in particular, dif ferences in car taxation and VAT in the first place and differences in currency parities and interest rates in addition?
Pearce. — (EN) Fru formand, hvor er det rart at få Deres tilladelse til at tale, Det sker sjældent.
I just don't think, with great respect, that the chair can make this sort of ruling.
For en konservativ er det virkelig en fornøjelse.
Either it is in our Rules of Procedure or it is not.
Narjes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) I fortsæt­telse af forhandlingen den 19. december 1981 indkaldte Kommissionen fem personligt udnævnte, højt kvalificerede eksperter, som har mange års erfa­ring inden for de centrale områder af miljøpolitikken.
Mr Andriessen, Member of the Commission. — (NL) The Commission is well aware that the substantial differences in VAT, currency parities and interest rates are directly responsible for this state of affairs.
For at tage noget af erfaringsgrundlaget på det insti­tutionelle område i det ærede medlems hjemland.
For years the Commission has been at pains to achieve, not just for the automobile industry but for the economies at large an ever-increasing degree of harmonization.
I betragtning af Kommissio­nens særlige opdrag lagde den vægt på, at der etable­redes en konstruktion med mulighed for fleksibel rådgivning med nationale instanser, og hvor unødigt dobbeltarbejde undgås. ■ '
But this relative failure is no reason for us to tolerate the exploitation of these differences by automobile manufacturers — for that exists on a wide scale too — wherever this results in an open flouting of the Treaty of Rome's competition rules.
Disse centrale punkter vil med tiden uden tvivl blive udvidet.
President. — On this point the Rules of Procedure are very imprecise.
Og det er også en meget praktisk baggrund for den fleksible løsning, man har valgt.
There are a number of procedures peculiar to parliamentary tradition.
Formanden. — Hr. kommissær, da vi nu er så karrige med at give ordet til den konservative gruppe, beder jeg Dem venligst være meget omhyggelig med Deres svar.
In this connection the Committee on the Rules of Procedure and Petitions will again have to be- consulted to organize Question Time better and tighten it up in the interests of all Members — and not just a few.
Det er mit særlige anliggende ikke blot at betragte Fællesskabets verdensomspændende ansvar for miljø­problemer som et politisk postulat, men også at behandle det videnskabeligt mere indgående.
Mrs Ewing. — Is the Commissioner aware that it is the private car purchaser in the UK, where it is no wonder that 85% of cars are company cars, who is being held to ransom to the extraordinary differential sometimes of thousands of pounds per car?
Det var specielt tanken bag mine bemærkninger fremsat den 19. november 1981.
Is this not a disgraceful situation?
Weber. — (DE) Jeg vil gerne takke kommissæren hjerteligt for de oplysninger, vi nu har fået efter en
Where is the benefit of EEC membership unless the Commission follows up its excellent investi-
Narjes. — (DE) Spørgsmålet var holdt i meget gene­relle vendinger. Jeg skal forsøge at præcisere det i overensstemmelse med spørgerens tanker.
Mr Cottrell. — Mdam President, I understand from a discussion with your advisers that in fact it is now the practice of Members of this Parliament, even of this group, to submit a written request to be allowed to ask
Har Kommissionen hørt noget til disse forlydender?
Cottrell a supplementary question.
Hvilke konklusioner drager den heraf i forbindelse med genoptagelsen af hjælpen til Vietnam?
If that is so, then of course we need not bother with any kind of spontaneity, little as there already is, in these proceedings.
Hvis spørgsmålet tager sigte specielt på aflæggelse af beretning for Parlamentet om de fem rådgiveres arbejde, som jeg her har fortalt om, så skal jeg gentage mit svar til den foregående spørger og sige, at vi ikke i hvert enkelt tilfælde indstiller, at rådgiverne skal aflægge præcise beretninger om deres arbejde, men at vi, så snart der er udarbejdet beretninger eller anmodet om sådanne, naturligvis gerne videresender dem til Parlamentet.
to a group, 63 Members of which speak English, if in fact it is done on the basis of the language that they speak, which is what Lady Elles' ruling is about. It is most unfair, particularly as my group happens to be particularly good attenders, that we should be cut down to one supplementary question, whereas the Socialists can have a large number of questions because they ask them in a number of different lan guages.
Formanden. — Fru Quin har ordet til forretningsordenen. denen.
President. — Yes, I note your remark, Mr Cottrell, but, as I said, the matter will be referred to the Com mittee on the Rules of Procedure and Petitions in order to clarify the question.
Vi finder disse ting væsentlige.
I call Mr Enright on a point of order.
Vayssade. — (FR) Jeg havde gerne set, at hr. Pisani havde præciseret, hvilke betingelser der er for en genoptagelse af hjælpen, for det ser dog ud til, at den bliver absolut nødvendig.
Mr Enright. — Madam President, the European Democrats seem to think that they have a monopoly of coming first, and I am grateful for getting my turn.
