løvrigt er alt, hvad der er blevet gjort, blevet gjort under hensyntagen til Fællesskabets målsætninger og mere specielt til Det europæiske Ministerråds beslutning. ning.
This aid takes the form, for instance, of. measures whereby small and mediumsized undertakings are given financial aid on the grounds that they would otherwise find it difficult to get access to the necessary finance by way of such institutions as the capital market.
Vor politiske virkelighedssans giver os imidlertid anledning til at formode, at disse støtteforanstaltninger ikke vil ophøre i 1985 medmindre jern- og stålvirksomhederne igen er kommet i finansiel lige vægt og igen er blevet rentable.
Andriessen delaying the necessary restructuring operations, must likewise be done away with by 1985. The Commission is keeping a close watch on the Member States' aid measures and is subjecting them to a thorough scrutiny.
Den betydelige overskydende produktionskapacitet er en meget alvorlig hindring for at genvinde balancen.
In some cases, final or interim decisions have been taken, but in most cases, the process of scrutiny is still in progress.
De manglende muligheder for at overføre arbejdskraften til anden produktion gør det meget vanskeligt at nedlægge forældede anlæg.
I can give an assurance, Madam Presi dent, that the Commission intends to take the necessary decisions in the next few months.
Men jeg vil gerne sige, hr. Glinne, at selv bankproblemet er blevet grebet forkert an, vel at mærke af folk, som ikke havde kendskab til sagen, som ikke engang vidste, hvad en bankgaranti var, og som har indgået forpligtelser uden at være dækket ind.
In the opinion of the Commission, these are matters of general importance and for this reason, the Commission feels justified in using its discretionary powers to show a certain amount of flexibility in approving support measures for investment of this kind.
Den måde, denne sag er blevet behandlet på i Belgien, er lidet smigrende for visse af vore politikere og i hvert fald for visse af de ministerier, der har haft med den at gøre.
However, in the light of its experience with measures of this kind, the Commission is endeavouring to establish more objective norms.
Det er mit ønske, at vi vender tilbage til den egentlige debat, således at vi siger til Kommissionen: hvad agter I at foretage jer for at løse de reelle problemer, som I står overfor i dag, og hvad agter I at bruge de af os fremsatte forslag til?
We believe this to be desirable on the grounds that the application of recognized norms will make a definite contribution towards avoiding the competitive distortions which may result from this kind of aid.
For at imødegå disse to problemer, har vor gruppe stillet et forslag til beslutning, der indeholder helt konkrete forslag til Kommissionen med henblik på både at reducere overkapaciteten og at fremme over førslen af arbejdskraften til anden produktion.
The Commission is currently scrutinizing investment proposals for the steel industry pursuant to Article 54 of the ECSC Treaty which, as you know, relates to the individual investment programmes of steelmaking undertakings.
Ideen består i at yde en støtte på 160 ECU for hvert ton, en virksomhed nedsætter sin produktionskapacitet med, mod at virksomheden forpligter sig til at investere tre fjerdedele af denne støtte i foranstaltninger til over førsel af arbejdskraft til anden produktion og i omskolingsprogrammer.
In carrying out its scrutiny of the aid measures as well as of the investment programmes, the Commission is guided by the general objectives laid down by the Council, in particular in its resolution of 26 and 27 March 1981.
Formanden. — De europæiske fremskridtsdemokraters gruppe har ordet.
Only when these conditions are met does the Commission believe that aid measures are compatible with the Community's interests.
Jeg har intet mod, at disse undersøgelser bliver yderligere uddybet og præciseret, hr. kommissionsmedlem.
The questions raised by Mr Glinne and by Mr Franz and his Group cover a wider field than just aid measures alone.
Jeg vil godt give Dem medhold i, at det sidste ord ikke hermed er sagt, og at vi ikke har vedtaget vort sidste forslag.
It should be emphasized that national support measures are only one facet of the Commission's policy for the steel industry.
Men når det drejer sig om at udforme en støtteordning med henblik på at afskaffe overkapaciteten, mener jeg ikke, at man skal gå over åen efter vand. Jeg tvivler på, at De med hele den stab, De har til rådighed, vil nå frem til konklusioner, som er væsentlig forskellige fra dem, vi er nået frem til.
Our aim is to pursue a coherent policy whereby each individual aspect — in other words, support measures, restructuring,'reductions in productive capacity and social policy — makes a specific contribution and is backed up by the other measures, so as to create a viable European steel industry.
Ansquer. — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, vi har taget fat på en forhandling, der ubestrideligt er af grundlæggende betydning for Det europæiske Fælles skabs fremtid, for hele Det europæiske Fællesskab, og derfor må vi ikke tabe de mål af syne, som Fælles skabet har sat sig med hensyn til jern- og stålpolitikken, og som navnlig går ud på, at tusindvis af arbejdspladser i en række lande ikke må sættes over styr, samtidig med at Europa skal bevare sin forsyningsmæssige uafhængighed på jern- og stålområdet.
The Commission is neither empowered nor prepared to put forward a kind of master plan for the entire Community iron and steel industry. However, the members of the Socialist Group are right in stating that restructuring programmes should be linked to precisely formulated production plans and especially to alternative economic development projects in which proposed rationalization is made more acceptable from the point of view of employment in the regions concerned than is the case at present.
Jeg finder det vigtigt at understrege, at det ligger underskriverne af dette beslutningsforslag fjernt at ville tvinge selskaber til at nedsætte produktionskapaciteten, hvis de ikke selv ønsker det.
In this respect, the Commission is ready and willing to investigate all possible means of giving Community solidarity a more positive shape and to find an answer to the problems facing the steelmaking areas.
Der er kun tale om at støtte dem, der går ind for tanken om rationalisering.
The Commission has already made proposals to this effect in its communication to the Council of 20 February 1981.
Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne meget kort komme ind på et enkelt problem, nemlig problemet vedrørende produktionen af varmvalsede bredbånd. Dette er en sektor, der, i højere grad end det er tilfældet med de øvrige jern- og stålprodukter, er plaget af en overskydende produktionskapacitet.
Madam President, perhaps I may be permitted now to go into some of the more specific points made by the honourable Members with respect to the problems facing the steel industry, and in particular the points made by Mr Franz, Mr Moreau and Mrs Scrivener.
Således var udnyttelsesgraden af anlæggene til produktion af bredbånd i Fællesskabet kun på 62,6 % i 1980.
Proposals for aid to the steel industry are assessed on the basis of the criteria introduced in January 1980, the scope of which was widened considerably as recently as August 1981.
Derfor var min gruppe da også i sin tid temmelig rystet over de store EKSF-lån, der blev ydet til at oprette nye produk tionsanlæg. Jeg vil specielt nævne udvidelsen af Bagnioli-fabrikken i nærheden af Napoli.
The aim of this recent extension in the scope of the criteria was to ensure that the undertakings receiving support were implementing restructuring programme comprising — as the code expressly stipulates — a reduction in productive capacity and modernization of the remaining capacity.
Derfor, kære kolleger, udspringer min første bemærkning af logik og sund fornuft.
The effect of this — to reply to a specific question put by Mr Franz and Mr Moreau — is to improve the rate of utilization of remaining capacity, the net result being an improvement in the competitiveness of European steelmakers.
Er det egentlig logisk at stræbe mod at oprette nye produktionsanlæg for derpå at kræve gamle fabrikker nedlagt?
I should like to add here that an improved rate of utilization of productive capacity can also be achieved by introducing the concept of complementarity between different steelmaking firms.
På den måde risikerer en hel del af fabrikkerne i Fællesskabet at blive til gamle fabrikker.
What this will amount to in many cases is transfrontier cooperation on the part of steelmaking firms.
Hr. formand, derfor er det mig magtpåliggende her at fjerne enhver misforståelse.
The Commission would welcome cooperation of this kind and will do all it can to foster it.
Det forslag, vi har stillet, gør krav på at være et forsøg på ikke blot at afhjælpe et reelt problem, men der er også tale om et forslag, der forekommer os at være et af de eneste, der muliggør en løsning på det alvorlige problem vedrørende overkapacitet og overførsel af arbejdskraft til anden produktion. Derfor undrer det mig, at man har kunnet tolke dette forslag anderledes.
The aim of grant-aided restructuring programmes must always be the restoration of competitiveness to enable the recipient undertaking to stand on its own two feet.
Jeg vil gerne til slut sige følgende: Jeg ønsker ikke, som også hr. Glinne sagde, at man her lægger op til en intern belgisk strid.
By the same token, certain forms of aid, such as emergency aid and aid to help meet operating costs, both of which might have the effect of
Min bemærkning nr. to drejer sig om de eventuelle kriterier, der skal anvendes for valsegaderne til produktion af bredbånd. Der bør faktisk tages hensyn til den måde, hvorpå valsegaden er indpasset i fabriksanlægget, til stålværkets kapacitet, til om der er kontinuerlig støbning eller ikke og til en lang række andre faktorer.
The proposals made by the Commission on 5 May 1979 were based on the situation then obtaining in the steel industry.
Sollac i Lothringen, der benytter en allerede gammel valsegade, råder således over et
In the course of discussions in 1980 and 1981, it became clear that our original proposals
Ansquer ultramoderne stålværk, hvis forsyning er hundrede procent baseret på kontinuerlig støbning, og råder over en forsyning af halvfabrikata til nogle af de laveste omkostninger i Fællesskabet.
Andriessen would have to be amended to take account of develop ments in the meantime, and the Commission set out the reasons for its amended proposals in its communication of October 1980.
Nu forelægger hr. Franz for PPE-gruppen en plan, som vi er nødt til at fremsætte kommentarer til. Denne plan har som væsentligste element nedlægningsstøtte til ophugning af varmvalsede bredbåndsanlæg.
We proposed in that document that the Council should give its approval to Community aid for payments to steelworkers to cover early retirement and layoffs.
I henhold til den ydes der støtte til nedlæggelse af arbejdspladser. Dårlig ledelse af virksomhederne belønnes.
The Commission welcomed the Council's decision and stressed its importance as an essential aspect of the Community's overall strategy on restructuring in the steel industry.
Når det drejer sig om de ældste anlæg, får frem for alt statslige virksomheder, som allerede har modtaget subventioner, en yderligere belønning.
The Commission decided as early as 1978 to improve coordination of its financial instruments to foster capital investment, the retraining of workers and the creation of more jobs in the regions affected.
Derfor, kære kolleger, er det da også planerne om at oprette nye produktionsanlæg, der i højeste grad indebærer en risiko for at forværre misforholdene. Jeg vil også henvendt til Kommissionen spørge, om den har kendskab til andre planer, der kan sammenlignes med Bagnioli.
In addition to the granting of aid from the Social Fund for vocational retraining and the application of Article 56 of the ECSC Treaty for retraining and resettlement, the Commission made a proposal to the Council for a quota-free part of the Regional Fund to be made available for restructuring in the iron and steel industry.
Det er helt klart, kære kolleger, at for slaget til beslutning, hvor konsekvent det end fore kommer at være, efter vor opfattelse indeholder et vist antal faremomenter.
The Commission is currently looking into ways in which it can strengthen its work in the social sphere by developing a job-stimulating policy.
For at sige det klart, er der i dette forslag en tendens til at give de mennesker medhold, der nu skaber eller agter at skabe overkapacitet inden for en sektor med overskudsproduktion i Europa. Vi finder, at Kommissionen for fremtiden bør udvise årvågenhed og kræve, at enhver oprettelse af ny kapacitet bliver ledsaget af en tilsvarende reduktion i det pågældende land.
Only recently, Madam President, the Commission decided on new measures concerning trade in iron and steel products which should result in a better distribution of these products and better prices, in line with the producers' expectations.
Man opstiller ingen kontrollable kriterier for nedlægningsstøtten.
industry, first issued in 1971 and revised in 1979, are well known.
Hr. Franz har talt om konkurrence og frivillighed.
They contain two fundamental principles.
Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg tror, at troværdig heden af hele Fællesskabets virke og følgelig Europas troværdighed afhænger heraf.
Secondly, and very emphatically, the granting of aid must not be allowed to result in an increase in productive capacity.
Troværdigheden er baseret på denne ligevægt.
This is, of course, a fundamental point in a situation in which we already have overcapacity.
Det påhviler os inden for de mere generelle rammer af Fællesskabet industripolitik at bevare denne ligevægt, der er absolut nødvendig for den europæiske jern- og stålproduktion. tion.
To demonstrate the Commission's determination to bring about the necessary reduction in real overcapacity, we introduced special arrangements in July 1977 regarding aid to the synthetic fibres industry.
Det gælder om en fornuftig fordeling af de sociale muligheder, altså af arbejdspladserne i de forskellige jern- og ståldistrikter i Europa, men det gælder ikke om — og kan ikke gælde om — vilkår lighed og virksomhedernes egne afgørelser!
The Commission will be taking a similar look at the aid systems in the textile industry of which it has already been notified and those which will be coming along in the future.
Denne plan er ikke egnet til at sikre den europæiske jern- og stålindustri en sikker udvikling med fremtidsperspektiver.
Mrs Scrivener also asked whether the Commission felt that national aid to the textile industry could, in the medium-to-long term, guarantee profitability, competitiveness and jobs.
Beskæftigelsen skal sikres i regionerne ved offentlig, europæisk finansiering, men ikke sådan som denne plan foreskriver, derimod som vi for eksempel foreslår: ved europæisk finansierede strukturplaner for jern- og ståldistrikterne.
As I said earlier, one of the Commission's basic aims in scrutinizing national aid proposals is that the recipients of aid should eventually be able to stand on their own two feet.
Krisen i den europæiske jern- og stålindustri, som har varet i årevis og stadig varer ved, truer alle de euro pæiske jern- og stålvirksomheders eksistens.
What is needed for that is restructuring in individual firms and in the industry as a whole, but in the final analysis, the profitability of firms will depend on good management and the market situation.
Den har haft som konsekvens, at 200 000 arbejdspladser er gået tabt, og at yderligere 100 000 er truede eller er planlagt nedlagt.
Madam President, that is all I wish to say at this stage of the debate.
Abens. — (FR) Hr. formand, da jeg af hensyn til forretningsordenen skal fatte mig i korthed, vil jeg begrænse mig til at nævne de væsentligste ting, dvs. nogle bemærkninger og spørgsmål, som ¡øvrigt støttes af mine luxembourgske kolleger i Parlamentet, Mart, Estgen, Fischbach, Hamilius og Lanz.
Concluding my remarks on the steel issue, Madam President, I should like, as a first reaction to the motion for a resolution tabled by Mr Franz, to say that the document's approach to the restructuring question very largely fits in with the picture I have just painted.
For det første er krisen i jern- og stålindustrien et meget alvorligt problem i betragtning af industrisektorens betydning for den luxembourgske stat og dens økonomi.
However, the proposal for a reduction in capacity and the actual financing thereof require closer scrutiny; at any rate, my first impression is that they do not accord at all with what is said about closure aid in the recently issued new steel code and which could perhaps do with closer scrutiny before Parliament takes a vote on a proposal of this kind.
I 1974 var næsten en fjerdedel af arbejderne i Luxembourg stadig beskæftiget i jern- og stål industrien og statens vigtigste økonomiske aktiv var jern- og stålindustrien.
The Commission is of course perfectly prepared to carry out, or take part in, any such study.
Denne krise, mine damer og herrer, har de euro pæiske jern- og stålvirksomheder selv skabt.
Mr Glinne. — (FR) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would not like to start a battle of the Belgians here today.
Dette har så bragt andre konkurrencedygtige og moderne virksomheder i fare, for eksempel og frem for alt i Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland.
But I should like to take this occasion to try to shed some light on the negotiations between the European Commission and the Belgian Government, which as you are all aware has resigned mainly because of the unsolved steel industry issue.
Det er et problem på nationalt plan, og er derfor af livsvigtig betydning for hele landet Luxembourg.
Here again — as in the steel industry — these problems are likely to have serious regional repercussions.
Kommissionen har så med rette grebet ind, og under anvendelse af artikel 48 i EØF-traktaten fastsat produktion, afsætning og priser dels i form af et obligatorisk kartel, dels i form af et fakultativt kartel.
Madam President, the textile industry was the first in which the Commission issued guidelines on aid policy, and these guidelines acknowledged the importance of national aid in the restructuring of the industry.
Dette giver os en pause, som vi nu må benytte til at finde de endelige løsninger.
I take it that the general outlines for aid to the textile
Følgende spørgsmål skal ses i lyset af disse to bemærkninger.
The legal dispute with the Commission has firstly arisen at a procedural level.
Abens lande, fra udviklingslandene og også fra andre medlemsstater i EF. Og Det forenede Kongeriges uldvareindustri i det område, hvor jeg selv kommer fra, og som engang var verdens største, er praktisk talt forsvundet.
Glinne referring to the improvement in own resources, to the maximum amount for intervention set at the outset, to the continued operation aids which will be degressive and stop completely in 1984, to the investment programme or productivity and quality improvement, to the intensification of downstream action and readaptation etc.
For det første, hvordan kan det være, at Kommis sionen pludselig i 1981 stiller sig tvivlende til omstruktureringsplanerne, når den luxembourgske jern- og stålindustri hidtil regelmæssigt har fremlagt sine investeringsplaner, uden at dette har afstedkommet nogen reaktioner fra Kommissionens side?
The complementary information requested by the Commission at the end of July was communicated to the European Institutions by the Minister for Economic Affairs in a letter dated 14 August.
Industrien i Det forenede Kongerige har behov for hjælp, den har behov for samme slags hjælp, som regeringerne i Belgien og Frankrig giver deres industrier.
The Cockerill-Sambre affair was studied by the experts of the Member States meeting in a multilateral committee on 1 and 2 October.
Og lad mig lige minde Dem om, hvad der her er tale om.
Their opinion has almost certainly been sent on to Mr Davignon since that date.
For det tredje, vil Kommissionen ved sin vurdering af, hvor der skal foretages en reduktion af kapaciteten, tage hensyn til den livsvigtige betydning, sagen har for hele landet?
As a result, there is no longer anything to prevent the Commission from taking a decision on this issue, a decision which Mr Davignon promised would be taken by the end of October at the latest.
Den franske regering bevilgede i Giscards præsidentperiode 46 mio pund, og efter regeringsskiftet er der afsat 1 200 mio pund til en krisefond for tekstilindustrien.
The question now before us is whether, prior to the Commission adopting a decision, there will be a bilateral meeting at the highest level.
I Nederlandene har man netop tildelt landets industri 5,8 mio pund over to år, og Spanien, der endnu ikke er blevet medlem, har forpligtet sig til at give sin tekstilindustri 844 mio pund over de næste fem år.
I have been sorry to note that up to now no news has been forthcoming from the Commission other than that the Cockerill-Sambre company has been asked to attend a meeting, which it would seem will take place tomorrow, Thursday.
Hr. formand, dette er det vigtigste, jeg har kunnet give udtryk for på den korte tid, og jeg beder Dem have mig undskyldt, at jeg har overskredet den tid, der var blevet mig tildelt.
This is an extremely sensitive question since it requires 5-year forecasts which mainly depend on whether the Davignon plan itself succeeds or not.
Kommissionsmedlemmet erklærede i sin tale, at medmindre industrien lægges om, vil den ikke over leve uanset statsstøtten. Jeg vil gerne sige til ham, at uden statsstøtte har denne industri ikke råd til at omstille sig, og da især ikke i betragtning af den forfærdelige økonomiske situation i Det forenede Kongerige.
A great deal will also depend on the strict application of the financial restructuring plan and I should like to conclude, Mr President, by stating the obvious, which is that the partisans of a low-profile approach in the defunct Belgian Government were in fact supported by the Commission since it has up to now refused to apply the plan and has only sanctioned stop-gap shortterm loans, which clearly increase the company's losses and jeopardize its financial recovery.
British Textile Confederation og min egen interesseorganisation, Wool Textile Action Committee, erfarer nu, at Kommissionen ikke kan og ikke vil forhindre regeringerne i medlemsstaterne i at yde statsstøtte til deres industrier, og i erkendelse heraf har vi ændret indstilling.
This is an endless spiral. Therefore, my question on the basic issue is: when will the Commission take a decision on the level of installed capacity which Commission thinking has arrived at for Cockerell-Sambre?
Vi støtter nu Kommis sionen, særlig i dens seneste dokument om harmoni sering af statsstøtten.
The Socialist Members concerned have set their figure — and they are extremely firm on this point — at 8 · 5 million tonnes.
Harmonisering på højeste plan om jeg så må sige.
As for the basis of the conflict, whether we refer to the restructuring plan adopted in November 1978 or its updating via the merger of Cockerill-Sambre decided in May 1981, the Belgian Government has always worked — as is perfectly obvious — in close collaboration with the Commission.
Mit eget parti i Det forenede Kongerige støtter en politik, der går ud på at yde statsstøtte til industrien, og vi føler at dette specielt bør gælde for tekstilindustrien.
In this respect, I should like to stress that the famous agreement known as the 'accords d'Hanzinelle' was ratified at Val-Duchesse under the partonage of Mr Davignon.
Imidlertid plejede dette — og jeg siger plejede, før jeg havde hørt kommissionsmedlemmet i dag — at være i strid med Kommissionens politik, da det kun var Det fore nede Kongerige, der ønskede statsstøtte til tekstilindustrien.
I should like to stress that the Commission departments which have a right to deliver an opinion are present at all the meetings of the Comité National de Planification et de Contrôle de la Sidérurgie which holds sway over all investment planning in this sector.
