Det var virkelig ikke muligt for ham at være her, og jeg er også nede til over for Dem à titre personnel at redegøre for grundene dertil.
In addition, substantial fluctuations in the exchange rate of sterling have certain effects on the Irish economy.
Ortoli. — (FR) Hvis jeg forstår spørgsmålet rigtigt, går det på de rentegodtgørelser, man gav Irland i forbindelse med dets tiltrædelse af det europæiske monetære system for en periode på 5 år.
A decision by the United Kingdom to join the European Monetary System would help the Irish authorities in their efforts to bring their domestic inflation rate under control, which is still the most important task.
Formanden. — Jeg ønsker ikke at beklage mig, men at henstille til Dem at meddele Kommissionens formand, at forsamlingen meget gerne ville have set ham i dag ved besvarelsen af spørgsmålet.
President. — I would like to ask the Commissioner to inform the President of the Commission that when there is a question specifically for him, Parliament regards it as very important that he should be present on Wednesday when the question is to be answered.
Jeg forstår, at dette har været umuligt for Kommissionens formand, men vi kunne måske have fået en med delelse i tide, så spørgsmålet først var kommet på dagsordenen for et møde, hvor kommissionsformanden kunne være til stede.
It is clear that this was a question which could have been answered authoritatively only by the President of the Commission.
Jeg vil gerne gøre opmærksom på, at disse rentgodtgørelser blev ydet, ikke fordi Storbritannien ikke var med i det europæiske monetære system, men fordi man tog hensyn til Irlands særlige problemer på det tidspunkt, hvor det gik ind i vort fælles monetære forehavende.
However, I should like first of all to make the point that these fluctuations had been tending to even out until recently, when the United Kingdom's exchange problems have gradually re-emerged.
Jeg vil gerne bemærke, at dette kun er en del af de elementer, der, som jeg nævnte for lidt siden, udgør en række økonomiske virkninger for Irland ved deltagelsen i Fællesskabets finansielle ordninger, eftersom man for eksempel i 1981 kan sammenligne de 51 mio, der udgør rentegodtgørelserne, med de beløb, der udgør næsten 500 mio mere, og jeg taler her om tilskud fra EUGFL, socialfonden, regionalfonden osv. Man må altså se tingene i en videre sammenhæng.
My second point is that, since Ireland's accession to the European Economic Community, the Irish economy has received increasing amounts from the Community in transfers and loans to help finance the necessary structural adjustments, and that these funds have assisted Ireland in its efforts to curb inflation. -
Er Kommissionen klar over, at mere end 55 % af irsk import og navnlig landbrugstilførsler importeres fra Det forenede Kongerige på grund af tradition og nær beliggenhed, er Kommissionen desuden klar over, at da Irland er medlem af EMS og Storbritannien stadig står udenfor, er der en helt fordrejet situation til skade for den irske økonomi, og er Kommissionen sluttelig enig i, at en væsentlig del af irsk inflation (9 % over to år ifølge fremtrædende økonomer) »importeres« som en direkte følge af Storbritanniens nuværende afvisning af at tilslutte sig EMS?
Mr Andriessen. — (NL) With your permission, I have already said twice in this sitting that because of very unexpected special business the President unfortunately and to his great regret cannot be present here.
Hvilke foranstaltninger agter Kommissionen at træffe for at modvirke denne situation, der er fuldstændig uacceptabel og fuldstændig imod Fællesskabet?
In general I must say that the President certainly respects these important activities in Parliament.
Men jeg bemærker hr. Daverns spørgsmål, jeg forstår, at han i realiteten spørger os, om man ikke må overveje en fornyelse, hvilken skæbne Storbritannien end måtte få i det monetære system, af den aktion, der indledtes i 1977.
In the present circumstances he was unable to do so. If your request contains an implicit criticism of the President's absence, then I wish you to release me from that obligation.
Vi undersøger spørgsmålet, og jeg tror, at Kommissionen må rejse del i løbet af forholdsvis kort tid.
It was genuinely impossible for him to be present here and I am perfectly willing to explain to you personally the reasons for his absence.
J. D. Taylor (ED). — (EN) Eftersom inflationssatsen i Irland er mindst tre gange større end i Det forenede Kongerige, skulle det så ikke, hvis lande skulle begynde med at beklage sig over import af inflation, være Det forenede Kongerige, der beklager sig over de fortsat høje inflationsniveauer i Irland? Hvis det ærede medlem, hr. Davern, har ret i sin påstand om, at Irland er skadet af sit medlemsskab af det euro-
Mr Davern (DEP). — In view of the acceptance of the principle of granting money to the Irish Government to cover the need for adjustment during the first period of the EMS, notwithstanding the fact that it was not then known that the British pound would rise so high, does the Commissioner consider that the £ 89 million, mentioned as compensation, should be paid to the Irish Government, in view of its being victimized by the fact that the nearest trading neighbour was not a member of the EMS, a fact which is outside the control of our country?
Ortoli, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (FR) Kommissionen er klar over, at en stor, om end lidt faldende del af den irske handel, især med landbrug svarer, sker med Det forenede Kongerige.
Mr Ortoli. — (FR) If I understand the question correctly, it is concerned with the interest subsidies allocated to Ireland for a period of five years from the time of its joining the European Monetary System.
Den er ligeledes klar over, at Irland med en stram og åben økonomi har en intern inflationssats, der er påvirket af de tendenser, som iagttages i importpriserne.
President. — I am not trying to make a complaint, but I would put it to you that you might tell the President of the Commission that the House would have liked very much to have had him here today to answer this question.
Desuden har de stærkt svingende vekselkurser for pund sterling visse virkninger på den irske økonomi. En afgørelse fra Det forenede Kongerige om at tilslutte sig det europæiske monetære system ville hjælpe de irske myndigheder i deres bestræbelser —
I understand that it was not possible for him to be here right now, but we could have been informed of this in good time so that Question Time could have been made the first item of the agenda of some sitting which the President of the Commission could have attended.
pæiske monetære system, ville det så ikke være klogere af Irland endnu en gang at udøve sin ret til at vende tilbage til pund sterling, hvilket jeg ved, mange af hans vælgere ønsker?
I would point out that these interest subsidies were granted not because the United Kingdom was not in the European Monetary System but in order to take account of the special problems facing Ireland at the time of joining our common monetary venture.
West Yorkshire har en stor befolkning, men det er ikke. en selvstændig stat, og det kan ikke være medlem af ...
Mr Enright (S). — Would the Commission enter into negotiations with West Yorkshire County Council if it were to join the European Monetary System?
Enright (S). — (EN) Hvis fru Thatcher forsætter på denne måde, vil det blive det, hr. formand!
Currently, as with Southern Ireland, it is being harrried very much indeed by Mrs Thatcher's monetary and monetaristic policies and, therefore, just as Southern Ireland quite rightly needs protection, so does the West Yorkshire area.
Ortoli. — (FR) Hr. formand, De har svaret for mig!
(Interruptions)
Ortoli. — (FR) Jeg spørger mig selv, om der er tale om et spørgsmål eller om en påstand.
It is therefore necessary to take a wider view.
Hvis det er en påstand, er ophavsmanden naturligvis herre over det; hvis det er et spørgsmål, vil jeg gerne bemærke, at jeg svarede Dem tilstrækkelig klart.
I note Mr Davern's question, however, and take it that he is asking us whether we should not be considering a renewal of the action taken in 1977, irrespective of the relationship between the United Kingdom and the EMS.
Der kunne være virkninger på prisområdet i forbindelse med valutasvingningerne mellem Irland og Storbritannien.
We have this matter under consideration and I think that the Commission will be dealing with it in the relatively near future.
Jeg sagde også ganske klart til Dem, at det ikke forekom mig, at det var det eneste element i sagen.
President. — Mr Enright, while your remarks were put in the form of a question, they were in reality a personal statement.
Så jeg vil ikke følge hr. Taylor i det, han lige har fremført.
I rule therefore that Mr Ortoli does not have to answer your question.
Enright (S). — (EN) Vil Kommissionen gå ind i forhandlinger med West Yorkshires amtsråd, hvis det skulle tilslutte sig det europæiske monetære system?
Mr Enright (S). — Yorkshire has a larger population ...
(Afbrydelse)
(Cries of'no', 'no')
Ortoli. — (FR) Det ville blive en omfattende forhandling, og jeg vil gerne erindre om, at en monetær union ikke alene ville være tilstrækkelig til at klare problemerne. I øjeblikket skyldes mange af de svingninger, vi oplever, en manglende konvergens mellem medlemsstaternes politik.
Mr J. D. Taylor (ED). — Since the inflation rate in the Republic of Ireland is at least three times greater than that in the United Kingdom, if countries were to start complaining about importation of inflation, should it not be the United Kingdom that is complain ing about the continuing high levels of inflation in the Republic of Ireland?
Hr. Ortoli er derfor fri for at besvare spørgsmålet.
... than some member countries, and it is perfectly valid to ask for an answer.
Formanden. — Hvorfor?
President. — Order! Order!
Fordi vi ved, at det er umuligt, at West Yorkshire . ..
West Yorkshire has a big population, but it is not an independent State and it cannot be a member of. . .
Men da handelsbalancen selv følgelig i lettere grad var til dette lands fordel, havde det en ubetydelig fordel, så der er noget rigtigt i påstanden.
I have also told you in the clearest terms that I did not consider that this was the only factor involved.
Hr. Taylor siger, vi bør have den samme valuta.
How ever, I cannot accept Mr Taylor's analysis.
Jeg ville gerne have den samme valuta som Storbritanniens befolkning under forudsætning af, at det ikke er pund sterling, men en europæisk valuta enhed, der er fælles for alle landene i Det europæiske Fællesskab.
On the contrary, I would inform him that I consider it undesirable for us in this House collectively to underestimate the importance of the European Monetary System as such.
. .. end visse andre medlemslande, og det er fuld stændig velbegrundet at bede om et svar.
Mr Ortoli. — (FR) Mr President, you have answered for me.
Derudover eksisterer der anvendelsesbetingelser for visse varer.
— which have not worked too badly so far.
Disse mekanismer udgør, som det ærede medlem ved, grundlaget for det europæiske monetære system.
These mechanisms, as the Honourable Member is aware, form the basis of the European Monetary System.
Det, vi derimod ikke kan fritage os selv for, det er den nationale aktion, dvs. muligheden af at klare en række mere specielle problemer ved hjælp af nationale midler, dvs. budgettet, pengeværdien og penge forsyningen.
Nevertheless, we cannot do without action by the national authorities, which means that they must be able to deal with various more specific problems through the use of national instruments, namely their budgets, exchangerate management and money sup­ply.

Question No 43 by Mr Deniau (H-660/
Kan Kommissionen i betragtning af den stigende handel mellm Øst- og Vsttyskland, der med henblik på udelukkende at fremme denne handel er underlagt en undtagelsesordning, oplyse, om der i øjeblikket sker bedrageri i forbindelse med varernes oprindelse samt »omvejshandel«; kommer visse varer i virkeligheden ikke fra andre Comecon-lande, og er der ikke tendens til at geneksportere østtyske varer til Fællesskabet?
In view of the increase in trade between West Germany and Eastern Germany, which is subject to an exemption system intended to favour exclu­sively inter-German trade, can the Commission indicate whether there exist at present cases of fraud with regard to the origin of goods and 'deflected trade'; are not certain products in fact from other Comecon countries and is there not a tendency to re-export in the Community products from Eastern Germany?
Hvad angår en eventuel import fra andre Comeconstater via DDR, må det bemærkes, at forordningen om kontrollen med handelen mellem zonerne af 9. juni 1951 udtrykkeligt gør det til en pligt for toldmyndighederne at kontrollere de formelle og materielle forudsætninger for den tyske indenrigshandel ved leveringer fra DDR.
Mr Ortoli. — (FR) That would be a very wide debate and I would remind you that a monetary union would not be enough in itself to solve the problems.
Der kan også kræves forelæggelse af oprindelsecertifikater.
That we need to set up the means of doing this seems equally clear.
Hvad angår den talmæssige fremstilling af virkningerne af den tyske indenrigshandel på den interne fællesskabshandel, må jeg henvise til, at i de seneste år er omkring 1 % af de til Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland importerede varer derfra blevet geneksporteret til andre medlemsstater, det svarer f.eks for 1981 til en værdi af 0,04 % af Forbundsrepublikken Tysklands samlede eksport til de øvrige medlemsstater.
The need to find ways of achieving greater compatibility of policies, on budg­etary and monetary matters for instance, within the Community is a topic frequently debated in this Chamber. I can therefore only hope that we shall suc­ceed in attaining this convergence, by bringing infla­tion rates into line and by avoiding fluctuations which often owe more to divergent national policies than to the existence of the European Monetary System.
Narjes, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Kommissionen har ikke kendskab til aktuelle tilfælde af uregelmæssige handelsforskydninger på fællesskabsplan, der står i forbindelse med den interne tyske samhandel.
Mr Narjes, Member of the Commission. — (DE) The Commission has no evidence at present of cases of irregular 'deflected trade' at Community level in con­nection with the system of inter-German trade.
I EØF-trataten er der fastsat bestemmelser om fællesskabsaspekterne af den tyske indenrigshandel i proto kollen vedrørende den tyske indenrigshandel og de dermed forbundne problemer.
The Protocol on German Internal Trade and connected problems of the EEC Treaty regulates the Community aspects of inter-German trade.
I medfør af stk. 3 i denne protokol kan hver medlemsstat træffe egnede foranstaltninger med henblik på at forebygge de vanskeligheder, som kan opstå for den pågældende stat som følge af en anden medlemsstats samhandel med de tyske områder, på hvilke Forbundsrepublikken Tysklands grundlov ikke finder anvendelse.
Paragraph 3 of that protocol provides that each Member State may take appropriate measures to prevent any difficulties arising for it from trade between another Member State and the German territories in which the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany does not apply.
Kommissionen har ikke hidtil fået meddelelse om nogen foranstaltning, hvor en medlemsstat har gjort brug af denne beskyttelsesklausul.
But while, of course, the balance of trade was slightly in their favour they had a slight advantage, so there is some merit in the allegation.
Dette skyldes sikkert ikke mindst, at den tyske indenrigshandel er underkastet usædvanlig streng kontrol på grundlag af tysk og allieret ret.
No doubt this is to be explained partly by the fact that inter-German trade is subject to unu­sually stringent controls, based on German and Allied law.
De detaljerede kontrolordninger har Kommissionen allerede forklaret udførligt i sit
The Commission has already set out the detailed control rules at length in its answer to Written Ques­tion 283/79.
Deniau (DEP). — (FR) Jeg har indtryk af at befinde mig i samme situation, som vor nederlandske kollega, hr. Vredeling befandt sig i i 70'erne, når han stillede Kommissionen spørgsmål om den tyske indenrigshandel.
My question is: we have divergent rates of inflation and, of course, the value of the Irish pound, in spite of its divergent rate of inflation, has not changed.
Hver gang, man svarede ham, havde man for det første intet kendskab til bedragerier og for det andet intet kendskab til foranstaltninger truffet af medlemsstaterne på dette område i henhold til proto kollen af 25. marts 1957.
Will the Commission tell us if it proposes to give any advice to the member countries of the European Economic Community and if it proposes to assist them with bringing about a realistic realignment of the currencies in the EMS that will reflect the divergent perform­ances of the different economies in the Community since the EMS was founded, and will they seek to cor­rect the situation?
For i realiteten er det, kommissæren netop har beskrevet, en teoretisk situation.
The border controls are therefore supple­mented effectively by domestic tax controls of the accounts of firms which take part in inter-German trade.
Formanden. — Jeg håber, at de, der besvarer spørgsmålene, og de, der stiller tillægsspørgsmål, vil være opmærksomme på Deres bemærkninger, hr. Megahy.
Narjes know, inter-German trade is restricted exclusively to goods from the two German states.
Jeg er mig dog ikke bevidst om at have forbrudt mig mod det også for mig ønskelige princip om klarhed og korthed.
I am calling for an examination to be made of the various Member States' interpretations of the legal position.
Et af tillægsspørgsmålene lød, om der i øjeblikket forekommer tilfælde af bedrageri, og jeg benægtede dette.
I should also like an examination to be made of the manner in which re-exponed products, agricultural products in particular, are monitored in practice.
Disse publikationer fremsendes regelmæssigt til De europæiske Fællesskabers statistiske kontor og til Rådet to gange om året og offentliggøres også der.
Mr President, these are two very clear-cut and interrelated points.
Jeg anmoder om, at man foretager en undersøgelse af de forskellige medlemsstaters juridiske fortolkning. Jeg vil ligeledes gerne have en anden undersøgelse af den måde, hvorpå man rent faktisk følger de varer, især de landbrugsvarer, der er genstand for geneksport.
As regards possible imports from other Comecon countries via the GDR, it should be noted that the regulation of 9 June 1951 on the control of inter-zonal trade formally obliges the customs authorities to check compliance with the formal and material rules of inter-German trade in the case of supplies from the GDR.
Jeg vil derfor gerne have, at De, hr. kommissær, svarer mig på dette punkt, foretager en undersøgelse af betingelserne for geneksport af landbrugsvarer fra Østtyskland til Fællesskabets øvrige medlemslande. Det er to meget præcise spørgsmål, hr. formand, og kompletterende.
As for the numerical effects of inter-German trade on trade within the Community, may I point out that in recent years about 1% of goods imported into the Federal Republic was re-exported from there to other Member States, e.g. in 1981 that accounted for 0-04% of the value of the Federal Republic's total exports to the other Member States.
Megahy (S). — (EN) Da jeg først rakte hånden op, havde jeg til hensigt at tage ordet til forretningsordenen vedrørende ét punkt, men efter at have hørt den forudgående taler, ønsker jeg at berøre to punkter.
Mr Megahy (S). — When I first put my hand up, I intended to raise one point of order, but after having heard the previous speaker I want to raise two..
Det er dermed praktisk talt tale om fuld kontigentering.
(Mr Megahy asked for the floor)
Det indlæg til forretningsordenen, jeg ville fremsætte, vedrører artikel 44, stk. 7, der siger, at fremgangsmåden for afviklingen af spørgtiden fastlægges ved retningslinjer, og jeg læser i retningslinjerne, pkt. 7, at den pågældende institution skal sørge for, at besvarelserne er kortfattede og vedrører spørgsmålets emne.
The point of order I was going to raise concerns Rule 44(7) which says that the procedure for the con duct of Question Time should be governed by guide lines and I read, in No 7 of the Guidelines, that the institution concerned shall ensure that answers are concise and relevant to the subject of the question.
Jeg beklager naturligvis, at jeg ikke har været til stede hele tiden, men det syntes faktisk at være et meget omstændeligt svar fra Kommissionens repræsentant. sentant.
I must apologize for not being here all the time, but it seemed a very lengthy answer indeed from the representative of the Commission.
Sieglerschmidt (S). — (DE) Er Kommissionen bekendt med, at Parlamentet gentagne gange har beskæftiget sig med spørgsmålet om den tyske inden rigshandel, så vidt jeg erindrer sidste gang for omkring fire år siden i en udførlig betænkning, der dengang vedtoges med tilslutning fra alle sider i Parlamentet?
Mr Deniau (DEP).— (FR) I have the impression that I am in the same situation as that in which our Dutch colleague, Mr Vredeling, found himself during the 1970s when he put questions on inter-German trade to the Commission. On each occasion he was told first that they had no knowledge of any deflections of trade and secondly that they had no knowledge of measures adopted by Member States in this field under the protocol of 25 March 1957.
Må jeg yderligere spørge Kommissionen, om der — jeg stiller spørgsmålet for at være på den sikre side — siden denne udførlige betænkning fra Parlamentet er ændret noget i så henseende, og om det ellers ikke var bedre, om spørgeren først beskæftigede sig indgående med denne betænkning, før han stiller videre spørgsmål i denne sag?
In fact, w+iat has just been described by the'Commissioner is a theoretical situation. In practice we do not know exactly what is going on and, whereas we concern ourselves year after year with lamb and butter from New Zealand, we do not discuss agricultural produce coming from the Ger man Democratic Republic.
Vi får andre lejligheder til at føre forhandlinger her, og mon ikke De kunne se på dette.
We aré given other opportunities here to have debates and I wonder if you would look into this.
Hertil kommer, at medlemmet efter min mening holdt en minitale som svar, så jeg lægger ikke hele skylden på Kommissionen.
This was compounded, in my view, by the minispeech made in reply by the Member, so I am not putting all the blame on the Commission.
Men det er efter min opfattelse mærkværdigt, at vi i spørgetiden med spørgsmål til Rådet forleden dag kun klarede at dække sådan noget som fire eller fem spørgsmål i løbet af en time.
But it is extraordinary that in Question Time to the Council the other day, I think we only managed to cover something like four or five questions in an hour.
Det er ved at blive det samme med Kommissionen, så jeg vil gerne have Dem til at se på begge spørgsmål — dvs. længden af institutionernes svar, der skulle være korte og klare, og de taler, medlemmerne holder, når de burde stille spørgsmål.
It is getting like this with the Commission, so I wish you would look at both ques tions — that is, the length of the answers from the institutions, which should be short and sharp, and the speeches that are made by Members when they ought to be asking questions.
Så kunne vi måske komme hurtigere igennem sagerne.
Then perhaps we could get through the business more quickly.
Som det er, møder medlemmerne blot ikke op på grund af det, der foregår.
As it is, Members just are not turning up because of what is going on.
Narjes. — (DE) Jeg mente med min henvisning til skriftlig forespørgsel 283/79 netop denne sidste omfattende fremstilling fra Parlamentet.
Mr Narjes. — (DE) First I will reply to the procedural point that the Commission's answer must needs be relevant to the question.
