Min gruppe værdsætter denne betænkning, det vil jeg gerne understrege, den inde holder næsten alle den kristeligdemokratiske gruppes ønsker.
Mr President, colleagues, we must devote our attention not only to the Community approach but also to setting up the necessary Community framework.
De ting, der ikke kom med, har vi taget med i de ændringsforslag, vi har stillet, og som vi håber vil blive vedtaget.
The European Commission and Mr Richard have opted for a recommendation, at once courteous and urgent.
Maij-Weggen (PPE). — (NL) Hr. formand, fællesskabshenstillingen fra Kommissionen om omlægning og nedsættelse af arbejdstiden er et resultat af flere aktioner her i Parlamentet.
Our subject is the reduction of working time, and I hope that we will not long have to continue speaking about it in the future tense and in the conditional mood.
Jeg skal minde Dem om betænkningen Ceravolo/Beumer i efteråret 1981 og påny en betænkning af Ceravolo i maj dette år, som blev behandlet og vedtaget i Parlamentet.
Reduction of working time should have been introduced long ago and the old generation of this Parliament — if I may be so free as to use the expression — was concerned with the subject ten years ago and already held it to be an urgent matter.
Det er glædeligt at kunne konstatere, at disse aktioner og betænkninger, der delvis blev udarbejdet i vor gruppe, og som alle blev vedtaget af vor gruppe, har haft succes.
At that time there was even a widespread strike movement in the Federal Republic of Germany which was aimed at forcing through reduced working hours and in concrete terms the 35-hour working week.
Vi er tilfredse med henstillingens indhold, fordi den indeholder principper, der altid forsvares af vor gruppe.
Now, on the threshold of 1984, it is high time for us to force through a reduction in working time at Community level.
Jeg vil gerne endnu en gang fremhæve disse principper, så det står helt klart, hvilket standpunkt vor gruppe indtager under forhandlingen om omfordeling af arbejdet og nedsættelse af arbejdstiden.
Naturally we all know that in the past few years a substantial amount of work and working time has been done away with, but always in the interests of rationalization and economy : in recent years workers have paid far too high a toll to the economic crisis as far as their right to work is concerned.
Lad os håbe på, at medlemsstaterne og arbejdsmarkedets parter i de ti stater vil anvende henstillingen ved deres kollektive overenskomstforhandlinger i det kommende år.
The Committee on Social Affairs and Employment believes that if this is of no avail a directive — some what less popular but also far more binding — will have to be introduced.
Først og fremmest vil vi med al tydelighed fastslå, at arbejdstidsnedsættelsen ikke er en patentløsning på den økonomiske krise.
We cannot afford to postpone reduction in working time any longer.
Arbejdstidsnedsættelse er en symptomatisk løsning.
Innovation, the robot invasion, efficiency, productivity — these are concepts which industry has no problem in dealing with.
Et middel til bedre at kunne klare følgerne af den økonomiske krise og gøre dem mere tålelige.
As long as machinery has to be renewed or modernized difficulties rarely arise.
Et middel, der er nødvendigt, fordi vi ved, at selv med en økonomisk vækst på 3 til 4 % hvilket vi sikkert ikke vil nå inden 1986, vil vi umuligt kunne få bugt med arbejdsløsheden, som omfatter 12 millioner europæiske borgere.
However, our duty — and this is the task which we take upon ourselves in reducing working time from the human angle — is to see that man does not become an afterthought in the economic process.
Vi mener, at en så høj arbejdsløshed er socialt uacceptabel.
Reduction in working time as understood in the report which the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment has presented to you is reduction in working time with among other things the direct and unambiguous objective of creating new jobs.
En omfordeling af arbejdet giver mulighed for at fordele det disponible arbejde på flere mennesker og at nedsætte arbejdsløsheden.
At the same time the report stresses that the problem must be tackled at Community level, because given the undeniable fact that our Community is an open market there is no room for half measures, for reducing working hours in some regions and not in others.
Denne tanke har vi også fundet i henstillingen, og den støtter vi.
After all, even in a large Member State like the Federal Republic of Germany, you cannot simply reduce working hours in Bavaria. Bavaria is not an island.
Ganske enkelt fordi det, som vi bliver bedt om at gøre, er at støtte et forslag om, at man kan kurere arbejdsløshed ved at betale alle det samme beløb for at udføre mindre arbejde.
In a somewhat smaller country such as the Netherlands, you cannot simply reduce working hours in Friesland.
Det er ikke et forslag som er baseret på fornuft.
Friesland is not an island.
Det er helt oplagt, at vi, hvis den europæiske industri ikke fortsat er konkurrencedygtig, vil tabe verdensmarkeder til japanerne, til Taiwan og til Sydkorea, og det har ingen interesse i.
Neither, however, can you simply reduce working hours in the Netherlands or in the Federal Republic of Germany alone, because these countries are not islands within our European Community.
Min gruppes andet princip er, at omfordelingen af arbejdet skal reguleres af arbejdsmarkedets parter via de kollektive arbejdsoverenskomster.
Reduction in working time as we understand it here is something completely unambiguous.
Den foreliggende henstilling er i overensstemmelse med ovennævnte princip og det er grunden til, at vi støtter henstillingen. lingen.
As spokesman for the Committee of Inquiry into the Situation of Women in Europe, where I am deputizing for Mrs Wieczorek-Zeul who cannot be with us this evening because she is attending a congress of her
Retfærdigvis må det siges, at Kommissionen ikke er faldet for denne store fejltagelse.
All these are very desirable things and I admit that very many women belong to the last-mentioned group.
Kommissionens argumenter er mere komplekse.
Alas, women have become wise through bitter experience.
For det første anerkender den, at den europæiske industris konkurrence dygtighed er en nøglefaktor.
We know that, even though it is suggested that measures be taken which apply to both sexes in general, in practice the measures are often geared mainly to men.
Dens hovedprincip søger at sikre denne ved at pege på, at omkostningerne pr. enhed ikke skal stige, når tiden reduceres Spørgsmålet er, hvordan det gøres?
This is why we emphasized the need to mention women specifically. Unfortunately not even the Committee on Social Affairs and Education seems to have grasped our point.
Således som jeg forstår Kommissionens forslag, bliver det gjort via en mere effektiv anvendelse af det vigtigste udstyr, ved mere skiftearbejde, ved en mere fleksibel anvendelse af arbejdstiden.
Now to my other role, i.e. as spokesman for the Socialist Group and as deputy for my colleague Mrs Salisch, who is attending her party congress, I have just a few words to say.
For det første, hvilke tegn har vi egentlig på, at omkostningerne pr. enhed kan holdes nede, så at, som kommissionsmedlem Richard selv har sagt det, og som jeg siger det i et ændringsforslag, arbejdsdeling virkelig betyder indkomstdeling?
The final point — the lack of concrete objectives — is all the more dangerous because in this way the cohesion of the entire policy may all too easily be lost.
Jeg ser ikke noget tegn på, at den europæiske faglige samarbejdsorganisation, eller den socialistiske gruppe her, er ved at acceptere det forslag, skønt kommissionsmedlem Richard selv gør det.
The women in the European Community know all too well that in the absence of a clearly formulated policy there is a good likelihood that they will end up getting the worst of the deal.
Damette (COM). — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, gruppen af franske kommunister og hermed beslægtede har i lang tid ment, at en nedsættelse af arbejdstiden indgår som nødvendigt led i nutidens økonomiske og sociale krav.
In the opinion it addressed to the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment, the Committee of Inquiry underscored the view that if women genuinely wanted to benefit from a reduction of working time this reduction would have to be drastic.
Jeg siger med vilje de økonomiske og sociale krav, for vi betragter ikke denne nedsættelse som en nødforanstaltning, som en arbejdsløshedsdeling, men som et uundværligt led i en politik, som tager sigte på vækst, teknologisk og forbedring af kvalifikationer.
Otherwise there is the great danger that women may be no better off than before ; on the contrary, domestic tasks — which are still mainly done by women — could become all the more burdensome because, for example, family members with more free time at their disposal make greater demands as regards care and attention which — I would like to repeat — is expected mainly from women.
For det andet, vil denne deling af arbejdstiden også rent faktisk skabe flere arbejdspladser?
We have tabled an amendment which we consider very important with a view to defining clearly the reduction of working time in quantitative terms.
For at gøre dette logisk, skal omkostningerne pr. enhed ikke blot forblive stabile, men de skal også falde.
The Socialist Group urgently calls on Parliament to stipulate a maximum of 35 hours in the resolution.
Ellers betaler man blot de samme folk den samme sum penge for at arbejde mere effektivt i kortere tid.
The proposal of the Committee on Social Affairs and Education is disappointing to my Group as regards the concrete Community measures contained in the resolution.
Jeg ser intet i Kommissionens forslag, som rent faktisk kan få omkostningerne pr. enhed bragt ned i stedet for at stabilisere dem.
The resolution correctly points out that the Commission has not acted on the lines set out in an earlier resolution adopted by the European Parliament.
Den vækst, vi har brug for i dag, kræver et andet arbejdsindhold, et mere kvalificeret, mere ansvarligt arbejde, arbejde på et højere teknisk niveau.
However, Mr President, the demands which the Committee have put to the Commission are some what scanty.
Det er samtidig ensbetydende med kortere arbejdstid og bedre lønnet arbejde.
Obviously, however, this was the only formula on which the Committee could agree.
Endelig, og dette er min virkelige kritik af Kommissionens færdige produkt, De siger, at hvis omkostningerne i industrien har en tendens til at stige, så vil Kommissionen eller de nationale regeringer eller en eller anden selvfølgelig skride ind med skatteydernes penge for at bestikke arbejderne til at indføre denne reduktion i arbejdsugen.
The Socialist Group urges the Commission to adopt a directive which will be binding on the Member States and which will make reduced working hours a reality, in the interests of all men and women in Europe.
Jeg ser ikke nogen fordel ved at fjerne omkostningerne fra firmaerne og lægge dem over på skatteborgerne, fordi det til syvende og sidst altid er de samrne folk, som betaler.
While we are waiting for clarification from the Parliament, from the Commission and perhaps from the Council — but perhaps I should also say while we are waiting for the new elections in which Parliament may emerge with a different political composition — we Socialists will have to make do with the little that is offered to us and will vote in favour of the motion for a resolution.
Vi glæder os over, at Frankrig sigter mod en arbejdstid på 35 timer i 1985, og over at de offentlige myndigheder går forud med et godt eksempel.
The amendment which calls for reducing working hours to a maximum of 35 hours per week is fully in line with the philosophy of the Committee of Inquiry.
Hvis denne bevægelse kunne videreudvikle sig på fælles skabsplan ville det være endnu bedre.
How precisely working hours are to be reduced is also of great importance to women.
Det er mine tre hovedanker mod Kommissionens forslag, og jeg er meget interesseret i at høre kommissionsmedlem Richard forklare, hvordan Kommissionen agter at tackle dem.
The question left open in the Van Minnen motion for a resolution on the form of this reduction — there is mention of daily, weekly and annual working time — is answered by the Committee of Inquiry in no uncertain terms.
Derfor glæder vi os over det skridt, Kommissionen endelig har taget.
It is essential for women that this choice be made.
Det er ganske vist ret beskedent, men det går i den rigtige retning.
Only reduction of working time on a daily basis makes it possible to combine work inside and outside the home.
Den skal blot gøre sig en anstrengelse for at komme ud af den almindelige trædemølle med hensigtserklæringer.
Only when daily working time is reduced can the work be fairly distributed both inside and outside the home.
Med hensyn til hr. van Minnens betænkning vil jeg bruge meget lidt tid på den.
Only if this takes place can we speak of emancipation of both men and women.
Den er fuldstændig uden sammenhæng med virkeligheden, og det er derfor, jeg har fremsat tre ændringsforslag, som omhandler opretholdelse eller reducering af produktionsomkostningerne pr. enhed, indkomstdeling og den kendsgerning, at nedskæring af arbejdstiden ikke nødvendigvis skaber arbejdspladser.
Women do not want to be told how to live and do not want to be forced to behave in accordance with the standards set by men today. Women wish to live as human beings, both in the labour market and as regards their environment : to be available for their children, for family life and for voluntary work.
Men jeg håber, vi vil få lejlighed til at vende tilbage til dette.
The recommendation states — and the point is fundamental for us — that economic growth cannot
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Van Rompuy ence of five million persons.
Nr. 1-306/267 og selv om man endog skulle vedtage at skære tre, fire eller fem timer ned om ugen, får man ikke flere i arbejde, for der er en ting, man slet ikke tager højde for, nemlig flaskehalsproblematikken.
2.5 million vacancies could be created for five million young people, for example, if preference is given to young people in the allocation of jobs.
Er folk kvalificeret?
This means that unemployment among young people in Europe could be reduced.
Tove Nielsen (L). — Hr. formand, nu er klokken lidt over halv tolv, tiden nærmer sig altså midnat, og jeg har lige siddet og regnet ud, at jeg i virkeligheden har været på min arbejdsplads i næsten 15 timer.
This percentage could be reduced to 11 %, which would be in line with the Community average for workers in all age brackets.
Det er ikke noget usædvanligt, men noget som jeg frivilligt har valgt.
Thus a greater stimulus should be given to parttime work in Europe.
Jeg kan godt lide det; der er andre, der gerne vil arbejde færre timer, og det er i virkelig heden den form for fleksibilitet, vi bør nå frem til, for vi mennesker er nu forskellige på mange områder.
It is also an effective means of introducing young people to the labour market and it is the direction we should be moving in.
Nogle vil gerne arbejde flere timer end de 8, som for mange er normalt, og andre vil gerne arbejde færre timer.
These suggestions are also contained in the draft recommendation to the Council.
Det er sandelig ikke noget, lovgivningen dikterer.
Economic growth alone will not be enough.
Det klarer arbejdsmarkedets parter, så jeg vil næsten tillade mig at tro, at der i hvert fald må være tre danske socialdemokrater, der med deres helt klare binding til fagbevægelsen i Danmark ikke vil kunne acceptere, at man pålægger LO i Danmark en nedskæring af arbejdstiden.
Yesterday we heard Mr Michel Albert — whose report we will be discussing repeatedly in the coming months — state that 1 % economic growth leads to an increase in employment of a mere 0.3 % However if we want to implement a substantial reduction in working hours — and he suggests a figure of 1.9 % per year — then 1 % economic growth will be accompanied by a growth of 1.1 % in employment.
Det kan godt ske, at LO gerne vil, men så vil de sandelig have lov til selv at beslutte det.
However — and this is fundamental for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs — we must ensure that under no circumstances should a reduction in working hours lead to an increase in unit costs.
Hr. formand, jeg skal slutte med at sige, at ved en økonomisk genrejsning og bedre konkurrenceforhold vil vi kunne være med til at skabe flere og nye arbejdspladser for netop at give arbejde til dem, der ikke har det, og desuden fastholder vi de arbejds pladser, vi har.
Mr President, the Van Minnen report contains many positive features, but it is essential for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs that an amend ment be approved calling for an incomes policy and stating that a reduction in working hours must not lead to an increase in production costs.
Det er en politik, der er fremtid i. Det andet, der står her, er en opgivende politik.
If this amend ment is approved, I will be able to support the report ; otherwise it will be pernicious and will fail in its objectives. tives.
Van Minnen (S), ordfører. — (NL) Hr. formand, som ordfører vil jeg gerne stille et spørgsmål til fru Nielsen. Hun talte om »de danske medlemmer«. Jeg mener, hun er liberal.
It is here that we disagree with Mr Van Minnen's report beccause he assumes that one can always reduce working hours while maintaining mass purchasing power at the same time. This is an illu sion.
Formanden. — Hr. ordfører, under henvisning til det sene tidspunkt, anmoder jeg Dem venligst om ikke at stille spørgsmål.
Mrs Maij-Weggen (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, the Commission recommendation on the reorganization and reduction of working time is the outcome of several activities in this Parliament.
Vi beklager i den liberale gruppe, at man stirrer sig så blind på, at man skal have en generel arbejdstidsnedsættelse, og at man derigennem tror, at man øjeblik kelig kan skaffe de arbejdsløse i arbejde.
I would like to remind you of the Ceravolo/Beumer report of autumn 1981 and again of the Ceravolo report in May this year, which was discussed in Parliament and also approved.
Vi er meget kede af, at man tager det på den måde, for vi synes også, det er vigtigt, at vi bruger vore kræfter på en fornuftig måde for at få folk i arbejde.
It is heartening to see that these actions and reports, which were partly written by our Group and all of which have been approved by our Group, have not been in vain.
Men det mener vi ikke, man gør på den måde.
The results now lie in front of us in the form of a Commission recommendation.
Det mener vi, man gør ved at skabe en sund økonomi, så man tør investere i de virksomheder, der er fremtid i, og som kan frembringe produkter af en sådan kvalitet og til en sådan pris, at de kan afsættes på det store marked.
We are also satisfied with the content of this recommendation because it contains principles which have always been upheld by our Group.
Vi skal altså med andre ord kunne konkurrere, og her mangler vi virkelig meget. I det øjeblik, Europa formår at blive langt mere konkurrencedygtig, får vi skabt flere arbejdspladser.
Once again I would like to emphasize these principles so as to make quite clear the precise standpoint of our Group in this discussion on the redistribution of work and the reduction of working time.
Det er fantasien, skaber trangen, viljen til dette det drejer sig om, og ikke det at konstatere at der bare er en givet masse af arbejde og en givet masse af folk, man skal have i arbejde.
In recent years some models have been developed in which working time has been reduced and I would like here to mention the example of my own country.
Ergo, når alle ikke er i arbejde, skærer man ned på arbejdstiden, og så skal alle bare arbejde mindre.
The fact is that there are few examples in which a substantial reduction in working hours did not have adverse effects on competitiveness.
Det er en opgivende politik, som vi ikke holder af, tværtimod er vi imod den. Derfor kan den liberale gruppe heller ikke stemme for Van Minnen-betænkningen.
In my country working hours are being reduced by 5 % in 1983 and 1984 with a pay cut of 3 %, and yet labour costs are still expected to increase.
For øvrigt er der en hel stribe selvmodsigende ting i den, men det skyldes i allerhøjeste grad også — hvilket er meget beklageligt — at vi slet ikke har haft mulighed for at behandle dette forslag.
Accordingly we must be very careful with these operations to avoid undermining the competitive position of industry.
Det er ikke ordførerens skyld, det vil jeg sige med det samme, han har gjort, hvad han kunne, men han har til gengæld også vist, at det er en socialistisk pen, der er blevet ført.
Thus great flexibility is essential and we must do all we can to respect the independence of the social partners ; a Community framework must be outlined which will make allowances for the different positions of the Member States.
Da vi altså ikke havde mulighed for at arbejde seriøst og for at stille ændringsforslag til teksten, foreligger der nu en ren og skær socialistisk tekst. Der er vist ikke noget at sige til, at vi som liberale ikke kan acceptere dette.
Vigilance is essential because a reduction in working hours can be a useful instrument but it must be coupled with an incomes policy and under no circumstances should it lead to an increase in production costs.
Vi har ikke stillet ændringsforslag, for vi føler, det er helt omsonst, da det er så rød en pen, der er blevet brugt hele vejen igennem; teksten skulle efter vores opfattelse ændres totalt.
This is the most important amendment which I personally will table in respect of the Van Minnen report because in my view it is nowhere taken into account and because the underlying assumption is that purchasing power can be maintained.
Der må nyinvesteres i innoverende industrigrene, der tager sigte på energi og miljø.
Firstly we would like to. make it clear that a reduction in working time is not a fundamental solution to the economic crisis.
Alt det er vigtige elementer for et økonomisk opsving.
Reduction in working hours is a solution which treats the symptoms.
Men vi er ikke enige i, at arbejdsløsheden vil blive mindre, hvis disse betingelser opfyldes.
It is a way of absorbing the consequences of the economic crisis and making them more bearable.
Vi har i dag talt om et center for små og mellemstore virksomheder, som vi har så utrolig mange af rundt omkring i vore medlemslande — lad os netop tage dem sorn eksempel.
However, it is an essential instrument because we know that even with 3 % to 4 % economic growth — a level which we will certainly not reach before 1986 — it will be impossible to eliminate unemployment among the 12 million European citizens affected.
Tag en virksomhed med ti medarbejdere.
Such high levels of unemployment are socially unacceptable.
Ved at sige en time mindre til alle, tror man at det kan give arbejde. Hvad gør en sådan virksomhed.
A redistribution of work provides an opportunity to spread the available work over a greater number of people and so to reduce unemployment.
Den siger: så klarer vi os med det antal medarbejdere, vi har, for man har ikke skåret tilstrækkeligt ned til at kunne få én ekstra i arbejde,
This thinking is contained in the recommendation and it has our support.
Lad os forsøge at se realiteterne i øjnene og ikke tro, at en forbedring af den økonomiske vækst kan løse arbejdsløshedsproblemet.
Maij-Weggen seems to have partially escaped from this death wish and also, I must add, to some extent the Commission.
fremtiden ikke vil finde arbejde. Vi må desværre se realistisk på det.
A second principle of my Group is that the redistribution of work must be regulated by the social partners in the form of collective labour agreements.
Og dermed må vi vænne os til et samfund, hvor det betalte arbejdes etos sygner hen, og hvor det uaflønnede frivillige arbejde respekteres af samfundet.
The authorities — national and European — must confine themselves to issuing recommendations and to deter mining the basic framework so that the social partners can work on a coordinated basis.
Næste måned skal vi tale mere om det i anledning af min betænkning.
The recommendation is in line with this principle and this is one of the reasons why we support it.
