Spørgsmål nr. 13 af Sakellariou (H-845/85):
Does it involve applications by the Bavarian government, or the Federal govern ment, or does the Commission decide in its own right?
Om : Virksomheder inden for tekstil- og beklædningsindustrien i Bayern
But, basically, the applications have to pass through the central government of the German Federal Republic.
For så vidt angår socialfonden, er støtten herfra som bekendt også indirekte, idet den går til erhvervsuddannelse og omskoling af arbejderne.
As regards the Social Fund, the aid there too — as you know — is indirect, for vocational training, for the vocational retraining of employees.
Men denne kan ikke indeholde punkter, som vedrører Bayern specielt. I tidsrummet fra 1973 til 1983 eksisterede der en særlig bestemmelse i forordningen for socialfonden angående støtte til arbejderne inden for tekstilog beklædningsindustrien.
But here it is not possible to give figures specifically for Bavaria.
I løbet af disse 10 år blev der udbetalt 86 mio D-mark til 21 000 arbejdere. Dette gjaldt imidlertid for hele Vesttyskland.
In this period 86 million Marks were allocated to 21 000 workers.
Da ansøgningerne blev indgivet samlet, var det ikke mu ligt at inddele dem efter regioner.
Because the applications were submitted on an overall basis, it was not possible to trace the distribution by area.
Har Kommissionen konkrete planer om at iværksætte integrerede hjælpeforanstaltninger vis social- og regionalfonden med henblik på omstilling inden for virksomhederne i tekstil- og beklædningsindustrien i Bayern?
Since 1983, when the Council's decision on the role of the European Social Fund was changed, there has not been a special provision for the textile and clothing sectors, but we do have indications concerning the distribution by area.
og spørgsmål nr. 14 af Seibel-Emmerling (H-846/85):
Mrs Seibel-Emmerling (S). — (DE) The Commissioner has said that there are no separate figures for indirect payments for Bavaria from the Social and Regional Funds.
Siden 1983, da Rådets beslutning angående den euro pæiske socialfonds opgaver blev ændret, har der ikke eksisteret nogen særlig bestemmelse vedrørende tekstil- eller beklædningsbranchen, men vi har nok en antydningsvis regional fordeling.
Could he tell me how the Commission ensures that these payments from the European Community are not used — as so often happens where the Bundesanstalt für Arbeit is concerned — in such a way that the Member State concerned does not make the necessary payments, so that the money is used simply to reduce the burden on the Federal budget, but that it really is used to alleviate the tragic situation of textile workers, particularly in Franconia?
Om : Virksomheder inden for tekstil- og beklædningsindustrien i Bayern
In 1984-85 28 million Marks were allocated for activities in Bavaria.
Hvilke konkrete hjælpeforanstaltninger har Kommissionen iværksat i perioden 1970-1984 med henblik på at omstille de kriseramte tekstilvirksomheder i Bayern samt omskole ar bejdstagerne inden for denne industri?
Dealing now with the question tabled by Mr Sakellariou concerning integrated aid packages under the Social and Regional Funds for the restructuring in Bavaria of the clothing and textile industries, we are waiting for the German Federal Republic to submit a programme under Regulation 3636/85 which provides for a series of measures for this purpose.
Dette svarer til ca. 11 % af den støtte, som vi kan erfare er blevet fordelt regionsvis i Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, hvilket igen udgør ca. 60% af den støtte, som Forbundsrepublikken har modtaget.
It does not actually check on every case. Total checking is not possible with any of the funds, but with the means at our disposal sample checking is considered satisfactory. tory.
Varfis, medlem af Kommissionen. — (GR) Jeg vil først svare på spørgsmålet om midlerne og hvilke for anstaltninger der er blevet eller vil blive truffet for at
I must emphasize that the guidelines for the manage ment of the European Social Fund for the years 1986-88 give priority to areas assisted from the non quota section of the European Regional Development Fund, and thus give priority to the areas of Bayreuth I have mentioned and which are covered by this Regulation. tion.
Hvad nu angår spørgsmålet fra hr. Sakellariou an gående integrerede hjælpeforanstaltninger til Bayern via regional- og socialfonden med henblik på omstilling inden for tekstil, og beklædningsindustrien, af venter vi det program, som Forbundsrepublikken
Finally, I should like to point out that the Commission has financed a preparatory study of integrated activities in the Bayerischer Wald and Mittlere Oberpfalz areas where textiles and the clothing industry do not constitute a very important part of the economic activity. Anyhow, the final report is expected shortly and it
som er blevet foreslået, og undersøger hvorledes de er blevet finansieret.
Subject: Appointment of a new director to the Commission's Information Office in Athens
Den kan ikke undersøge alle tilfælde; det er ikke muligt at gøre fuldstændig kontrol med nogen af fondene, men stikprøvekontrollen har vist sig at være tilfredsstillende med de midler, vi har til rådighed.
President. — Mr Seal, your question has nothing to do with the original question, which was about the textile and clothing industry in Bavaria. However, if the Commissioner would like to say something also about the United Kingdom, I would not want to stop him from doing so.
Jeg bør understrege, at retningslinjerne for forvaltningen af den europæiske socialfond i tidsrummet 19861988 giver de regioner fortrinsret, som modtager hjælp fra den europæiske regionalfonds kvotafri del, og giver således fortrinsret til Bayreuth-regionerne, som jeg nævnte før, og som hører ind under denne forordning.
According to press reports the director of the Commission's Information Office in Athens, Pro fessor Jean Siotis, after many years distinguished service, is to be appointed to another position of Community responsibility.
Seal (S). — (EN) Er kommissæren bekendt med, at penge, der tildeles under regionalfondens ikke-kvota-opdelte sektion til en anden del af Fællesskabets tekstilindustri, nemlig Det forenede Kongeriges tekstilindustri, ikke kan anvendes ordentligt, da den britiske regering ikke giver penge nok til de lokale myndigheder til bare at gøre det muligt for dem at levere de nødvendige tjenesteydelser, og den tillader dem heller ikke at få penge fra skatten til at levere væsentlige tjenesteydelser, så de lokale myndigheder kan ikke en gang få deres 50% af de penge, der anvendes i disse tekstilområder?
Can the Commission give its assurance that the procedure it intends to follow to appoint the new director will guarantee that it selects a cultured person possess ing a sense of duty, independence, objectivity and integrity in his position vis-à-vis the Community, as required by this particularly important and politically sensitive post?
Jeg vil til sidst gøre opmærksom på, at Kommission en har finansieret de indledende undersøgelser an gående en integreret foranstaltning i regionerne Bayerischer Wald og Mittlere Oberpfalz, hvor tekstil- og beklædningsindustrien udgør en ikke så væsentlig del af den økonomiske aktivitet. Og den endelige rapport, som forventes snart at udkomme, vil utvivlsomt tage disse industriers situation i denne region i betragtning.
Mr Varfis. — (GR) I will reply briefly because the previous question was related and to do generally with the matter of the additionality of the funds, a matter we have discussed many times.
Hvis kommissæren er klar over dette, kan han så sige, hvilke skridt han agter at tage eller allerede har taget over for den britiske regering for at sikre, at de penge, Kommissionen her har tildelt, rent faktisk an vendes, hvor der er brug for dem i disse områder?
Mr Ripa di Meana, Member of the Commission. — (IT) The Commission can confirm to Mr Lambrias that, after the excellent work done in recent years by the director of the Press and Information Office in Athens, Professor Jean Siotis, it will appoint the new director in accordance with the rotation procedure that has been applied since 1976 by the Commission for its delegations and offices.
Formanden. — Hr. Seal, Deres spørgsmål har ganske vist ikke noget at gøre med det oprindelige spørgsmål, der drejer sig om tekstil- og beklædningsindustrien i Bayern. Men hvis kommissæren gerne vil sige noget om Storbritannien, vil jeg ikke hindre ham i i det.
If this procedure should not produce a result, the new director would be appointed in accordance with the statutory rules on this subject, which are rules that have already been proven on other similar occasions.
Men ansøgningerne skal gå via Forbundsrepublikken Tysklands centralregering.
To which package contributed to by Federal Germany and Bavaria are you referring?
Varfis. — (GR) Jeg skal svare ganske kort, og jeg mener, at det sidste spørgsmål er relevant, idet det vedrører spørgsmålet om fondenes komplementaritet, som vi så ofte har drøftet, jeg kan oplyse, at Kommissionen er i stadig kontakt med den engelske regering og har forelagt den spørgsmålet gentagne gange, og at der, i hvert fald for den kvotafri dels vedkommende, er sket en begrænset fremgang, således at vi kan se, at der findes komplementaritet, uden at dette dog betyder, at vi er absolut tilfredse.
Mr Lambrias (PPE). — (GR) I thank the Commissioner for his assurance, but I wonder, and I should like him to reply to me on this if he can, about the extent to which the publicity given sufficed for getting personalities to apply, and whether — because the information we have is that the post has already been filled — the comparing of the various candidates and the assessment of qualifications on which the final choice is to be based will be made public.
Seibel-Emmerling (S). — (DE) Hr. kommissær, De sagde, at der ikke findes nogen specielle tal for de indirekte udbetalinger fra social- og regionalfonden til Bayern.
Mr Welsh (ED). — I thought we had been talking about money that the Commission had been spending in Bavaria and other parts of Germany, and the Commissioner quoted a number of figures — 18 million, I think, from the Regional Fund and 60 million Marks from the Social Fund.
Kan De sige mig, hvorledes Kommissionen sikrer, at disse betalinger fra Det europæiske Fælles skab ikke — som det er så almindeligt på det tyske arbejdsdirektorats område — tjener til, at den pågældende medlemsstats nødvendige betalinger ikke bliver udbetalt- at disse penge altså ikke blot tjener til at aflaste den tyske statskasse, men til rent faktisk at mildne den situation som tekstilarbejderne navnlig på Franken-egnen befinder sig i?
I want to know — and I am sure the House would like to know — how much the Federal German Government and the State Govern ment contributed themselves. Because, of course, what the Commission paid should have been something like 30% of what the Federal Government paid.
Varfis. — (GR) Programmerne forelægges af For bundsrepublikken Tyskland og vedrører hele landet. Kommissionen foretager derefter en kontrol i form af stikprøver.
We would like to know what the total value of the project was, how much the Commission paid and how much the German Government paid.
Varfis. — (GR) Jeg forstod desværre ikke helt spørgsmålet.
Mr Varfis. — (GR) I cannot recall these figures exactly, but I can give Mr Welsh a written reply. This
Efter dette Deres andet spørgsmål vil jeg imidlertid efterprøve sagen i generaldirektoratet for information.
Ripa di Meana have received, to the effect that the post has already been filled, I have to deny that.
Welsh (ED). — (EN) Jeg mente, vi havde snakket om penge, som Kommissionen havde brugt i Bayern og andre dele af Tyskland, og kommissæren nævnte en række tal — vistnok 18 mio fra regionalfonden og 60 mio DM fra socialfonden. Jeg vil gerne vide — og jeg er sikker på, at Parlamentet gerne vil vide — hvor meget den tyske forbundsregering og delstatsregeringen selv bidrog med — for det, Kommissionen betalte, burde selvfølgelig være omkring 30% af det, for bundsregeringen betalte?
Mr Christodoulou (PPE). — (GR) To make things easier for the Commissioner, I should like to put this question: ought not the person chosen for this position have a previous record receptive of the meaning of the European Communities, and not be opposed to it, given that he will have to propagate this meaning in Greece?
Vi vil gerne have at vide, hvad projektets samlede værdi var, hvor meget Kommissionen betalte, og hvor meget den tyske regering betalte.
Mrs Van den Heuvel (S). — (NL) I would ask the Commissioner whether the Commission, in the con text of its own proposed programme of positive action, intends to make every effort to get a woman appointed to this post?
Hvad endelig angår den oplysning, De har givet, hvorefter stillingen allerede skulle være besat, må jeg afkræfte den.
And I would like to hear whether ways are also being sought to improve information about the EEC in general?
Varfis. — (GR) Jeg husker ikke de nøjagtige tal, men jeg kan give hr. Welsh et skriftligt svar.
Mr Ripa di Meana. — (IT) I think that, for the future director of the Athens office, or for any other office of the Commission in the Community and elsewhere, the distinctive characteristics that we should hope for must be quality, loyalty to European and Community ideals, and wide experience in the field of information and communication.
Dette bidrag er fastsat i forordningerne, og jeg ville nemt kunne give Dem et klart svar, hvis jeg havde forordningerne hos mig.
That is the only Identikit that I can imagine for such a director.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 15 af Lambrias (H865/85):
President. — Question No 16 by Mr Lalor (H-867/ 85):
Og jeg vil gerne have at vide af kommissæren, og der også straks søges efter veje til at forbedre oplysningen om EF i almindelighed?
Subject: South African dumping of pine louvre doors in the European Community
Om: Udnævnelse af en ny direktør for Kommissionen for De europæiske Fællesskabers informationskontor i Athen
Mr Ripa de Meana. — (IT) In reply to the honourable Member I would say that, on the Commission's part, there is naturally neither prejudice nor a policy of exclusion, nor is there any lack of awareness of the problem of appointing women to positions of maximum responsibility in our information offices.
Ifølge oplysninger i pressen skal direktøren for Kommissionens informationskontor i Athen, professor Giangos Siotis, efter mange års udmærket indsats inden for forskellige tjene stegrene udnævnes til en anden stilling inden for fællesskabsadministrationen.
I should like, however, to recall the position, which Mrs Van den Heuvel is fully aware of, which is that there is an overall shortage of women in the Community's employ and, hence, in the offices of the Commission.
Kan Kommissionen bekræfte, at den vil sørge for, at den nye direktør udpeges efter procedurer, som sikrer valg af en per son, der har uddannelse, pligtfølelse, selvstændighed, objektivitet og ærlighed i sit forhold til Fællesskabet, i det omfang som denne særlig betydningsfulde og politisk følsomme stilling kræver?
With regard to its determination to correct this situation, which we all deplore, I can assure the honourable lady that the Commission has taken steps — which I think she is aware of — to develop the information programme devoted to women during the course of 1986, by means of a series of supplementary measures.
Ripa di Meana. — (IT) Jeg kan forsikre det ærede medlem, at der has Kommissionen naturligvis ikke eksisterer nogen forudfattet mening, noget der taler til hinder for eller manglande interesse i problemet vedrørende ansættelse af kvinder i informationskontorerne i meget ansvarsfulde stillinger.
In addition, I think that the last part of her question contained a reference to the need for a better information policy. I share her concern which, although expressed in these very general terms, takes me back to the decisions already adopted by the Commission during 1985.
Jeg vil her imidlertid minde om den situation, som fru Van den Heuvel udmærket kender, nemlig at der generelt del tager for få kvinder i fællesskabsarbejdet, hvilket følgelig også gælder Kommissionens kontorer.
In April the Commission will be called on again to take decisions regarding information, on the basis of a report that I am completing.
Hvad angår viljen til at forbedre denne situation, som vi alle beklager, kan jeg forsikre spørgeren om, at Kommissionen har truffet foranstaltninger — som jeg tror De kender — med henblik på i løbet af 1986 med en række supplerende initiativer at gennemføre det informationsprogram, der er helliget kvinder.
Has the Commission carried out any investigation into the complaint they have received from Premium Panels Ltd,, in Enniscorthy, Ireland, and Pateo Industries Ltd., Norfolk, U.K., against alleged dumping in the Community Member States, particularly Ireland and the U.K., of pine louvre doors by South African manufacturers of these products; and, in addition, if the Commission has not or is not in the process of investigating these complaints, will it not confess to having failed in its duty to protect a very vulnerable industry from most unfair outside competition and that this situation is all the more reprehensible given that the alleged dumping of pine louvre doors comes from South Africa where, by taking no action on this matter, the Commission is in effect assisting and encouraging the apartheid system there because these products are sold to the black South African population at a price twice as high as they are dumped onto the Community market?
Ripa di Meana, medlem af Kommissionen. — (IT) Kommissionen kan bekræfte over for hr. Lambrias, at den vil sørge for, at posten som direktør for presseog informationskontoret i Athen efter det udmærkede arbejde, hr. Giangos Siotis har udført i disse år, bliver besat i overensstemmelse med den rotationsprocedure, Kommissionen har anvendt for sine delegationer og kontorer siden 1976.
Mr Filinis (COM). — (GR) I would like to ask the Commissioner whether he shares the view that the criterion of being above party politics, in other words of having no party ties during the exercise of their duties, should be absolutely essential in the case of individuals destined for such responsible positions?
Hvis denne procedure ikke skulle føre til noget resultat, vil udnævnelsen af den nye direktør for kontoret blive foretaget på grundlag af de vedtægtsmæssige regler, der allerede er blevet godkendt ved andre lig nende lejligheder.
Lord Cockfield, Vice-President of the Commission. — The Commission is always prepared to consider open ing an anti-dumping investigation provided there is sufficient preliminary evidence of dumping and consequent injury to justify such action.
Endelig forekom det mig, at De i den sidste del af Deres spørgsmål henviste til nødvendigheden af en bedre informationspolitik.
Although there has been a great deal of correspondence between the Commission and the Irish company involved concern ing the allegations of dumping, it has not been sufficient to result in a satisfactory case on which a formal complaint could be based.
Kommissionen vil selv i april blive stillet over for at skulle træffe nye afgørelser om informationsproblemet på grundlag af en rapport, den er ved at færdig gøre.
In these circumstances, the Commission is not in a position to open an anti-dumping investigation.
Lambias (PPE). — (GR) Jeg takker kommissæren for hans forsikringer, men jeg er stadig ikke klar over og vil gerne, hvis det er muligt, have et svar på, om offentligheden omkring dette har været tilstrækkelig til, at man har kunnet tilskynde egnede personligheder til at ansøge om stillingen, og — da mine kilder siger, at stillingen allerede er besat — om man vil offentliggøre sammenligningerne mellem de forskel
Mr Ripa di Meana. — (IT) The answer is difficult, Mr Filinis, because I should not like now to theorise on any discrimination a contrario where members of political parties are concerned, but — I agree with you — it is undoubtedly to be hoped that, in his actions and as far as his responsibility is concerned, the director of any Community office would show the impartiality, calmness and authority that is needed for such a sensitive job, and would not, therefore, be a party instrument. But as far as his democratic right to live an active political life is concerned, I have no wish to question this.
ning af, at der er tilstrækkelige foreløbige beviserpå dumping og deraf følgende skade til at berettige en sådan handling.
Lord Cockfield. — I do not think it falls to me to answer a question of that kind.
Desuden er der ikke stillet oplysninger til rådighed fra eller på den britiske producents vegne.
In Westminster, the question would not have been allowed on the orderpaper.
Under disse omstændigheder er Kommissionen ikke i stand til at indlede en anti-dumpingundersøgelse.
But, of course, the Rules of Procedure in this place are entirely a matter for you and not a matter for the Commission.
Christodoulou (PPE). — (GR) For at gøre det lettere for kommissæren vil jeg formulere spørgsmålet som følger: Mener han ikke, at den person, som udpeges til denne stilling, bør have en overordnet positiv holdning til ideen bag De europæiske Fællesskaber og ikke være modstander af denne idé, som det jo er hans opgave at udbrede i Grækenland?
Mr Flanagan (RDE). — Without too much involving Lord Cockfield, would the House note the strong pro-apartheid approach of the honourable Member Mr Pearce?
Oplyser kommissæren her mig og Parlamentet om, at ledelsen i Premium Panels i Enniscorthy ikke blot skal oplære deres arbejdere for at dygtiggøre sig i kunsten at frem stille førsteklasses jalousidøre, men at de også skal have en administrativ oplæring for at forhindre en urimelig underbuds konkurrence fra hele verden?
Also, is the Commissioner informing me and the Parliament that not only must management in Premium Panels in Enniscorthy train their workers to per fect the art of manufacturing firstclass louvred doors, but that they must also have administrative training to prevent unfair cut-price competition from all over the world?
Er det den form for bistand. Kommissionen tilbyder de små og mellemstore industrier?
Is that the sort of assistance the Commission are offering to small and medium-sized industries?
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 16 af Lalor (H867/85):
Mr Lalor (RDE). — Mr President, on a point of order, I was wondering whether it was in order for the Vice-President of the Commission to criticize our Rules of Procedure.
Lord Cockfield. — (EN) Som tidligere industri- og handelsminister er det ærede medlem godt klar over, at Kommissionen er bundet af bestemmelserne i Gatt.
Lord Cockfield. — As a former Minister for Industry and Commerce, the honourable Member is well aware of the fact that the Commission is bound by the terms of the GATT.
Navnlig er vi nødt til at overholde GATTs anti-dumpingkodeks.
In particular, we have to respect the GATT anti-dumping code.
Der findes desuden et rådgivende udvalg som disse sager fremsendes til.
There is, in addition, a Community advisory committee to which these cases are submitted.
Med hensyn til de to firmaer, som det ærede medlem nævner, er der i den irske virksomheds tilfælde ydet meget stor bistand.
With regard to the two firms to which the honourable Member refers, in the case of the Irish company a very great deal of assistance has been given.
Ved korrespondances start gav Kommission en firmaet en kopi af spørgseskemaet for potentielle ansøgere, der viser, hvilke oplysninger der er påkrævet, og en kopi af en vejledning hvori der står, hvor for de ønskes.
At the outset of the correspondence, the Commission provided the firm with a copy of the question naire for potential applicants showing what information is required and a copy of a guidance note saying why it is wanted.
Det er også blevet tilbudt at drøfte problemet med firmaet og sørge for al mulig bistand.
An offer has also been made to discuss the problem with the firm and to provide any assistance possible.
Hvad angår det andet firma, tager de åbenbart ikke telefonen, og dette medfører et kommunikationsproblem. blem.
So far as the other firm is con cerned, they apparently do not answer the telephone and this imposes a problem of communication.
