Hermanbetænkningen for økonomi- og valutaudvalget er faktisk et bevis på, at Parlamentet på dette område har en klar opfattelse deraf samt viljen til at komme til en resultat.
This Parliament has regularly recommended that the ECU be used for this purpose, at least if it became an accepted currency in the world's largest trading-bloc, which is, after all, what the European Community is.
Men derfor er der ikke gjort fremskridt i forbindelse med fuldbyrdelsen af EMSen siden den 1. januar 1981, da første etape på EMSens vej fandt sin afslutning.
But it seems that there must again be a serious monetary crisis before we in Europe have faith and confidence in the role the ECU can play.
Det vil sige, at slutmålene og forpligtelserne fra Bremen er glemt.
A great many improvements can be made to the EMS and ECU.
I den forbindelse bør man holde sig det ordsprog for øje, der siger, at den, der ikke går frem, går tilbage.
Let me briefly list a number of things that have already been accepted in this Parliament. First, the ECU is
For at skåne EMS for denne anklage, må man nu gennem politisk handling bevise, at Europa er indstillet på at gøre fremskridt på det mo lady Elles (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg tror ikke, betydningen af denne forhandling kan understreges for meget, navnlig med hensyn til igen at få et op sving i den europæiske økonomi og ikke mindst med hensyn til at skabe nyt arbejde til dem, der for øje blikket udgør en så stor del af vor arbejdsstyrke, de arbejdsløse.
Provided that the ECU becomes more stable and con fidence in it grows, its development might be helped if the prices of raw materials and energy were quoted in
Selv om det ene ikke er en konsekvens af det andet, kan jeg ikke tro andet, end at dette er en vigtig faktor til at skabe en stabil øko nomi og en situation, hvor velstanden styrkes.
Oil bills could also be paid in ECU rather than dollars.
tiv for investorer både i Fællesskabet og skam også uden for Fællesskabet.
disappointing as some people might make out.
De britiske banker har modtaget og har effektueret anmodninger om afregning i ECU i hele det fælles marked i forbindelse med joint ventures og handels- og forretningsforbindelser mel lem virksomheder.
At least it is fair to say that there have been no further adjust ments in the central rates since 21 March 1983 and that the pursuit of monetary stability should no longer be regarded as being doomed to failure.
Og, vil jeg gerne tilføje, ikke blot fra virksomheder i Fællesskabet, også fra USSR og Japan modtager britiske banker nu anmodninger om afregning i ECU.
To conclude, Mr President, I have a final suggestion, which is controversial, but which I, like the former French Finance Minister, Mr Delors, believe should be studied.
Det er bestemt en opmuntring for både Det forenede Kongerige og hele Fællesskabet, at ECUen nu betragtes som en vigtig international valu ta.
Mr Delors has said that no less than 150 000 million dollars of European capital was invested in the United States in 1983, a considerable proportion of it no doubt at the expense of investment here, and that, if the present trend con tinues, this sum may rise to 300 000 million dollars by 1988.
Jeg tror alligevel, at erhvervslivet tillid og investeringer afhænger af en meget vigtig faktor, nemlig en stabil valuta.
In other words, the ultimate objectives and the commitments entered into at Bremen have been lost from sight.
Det afhænger også af en valutakursstabilitet over for de vigtigste handelspartnere.
It must be remembered in this connection that, as the saying goes, 'those who are not going for ward are going backwards'.
Dette ville uden tvivl blive afhjulpet, hvis ECUen anvendtes i et meget videre omfang, end den hidtil er blevet.
If this is not to be true of the EMS, there needs to be a political act, now, to demonstrate that Europe is still resolved to make pro gress in the monetary sphere.
Hvis man ser nærmere på ECUens historie gennem de seneste ti år, vil man se, at den har været stabil, både i forhold til verdensvalutaerne og inden for medlems staternes valutaer, og der har jo stort set været en relativ lav rente på ECU-lån i forhold til andre valu talån.
The new initiatives to be taken should concentrate, to my mind, on five objectives in particular: re-examination and redefinition of the stages leading to Monetary Union; attribution of certain institutional powers to the EMS; affirmation of the status of the EMS outside the Community; removal of obstacles to the private use of the ECU; promotion of the ECU's role as an official currency; and, more particularly, the minting, on a symbolic basis at first, of a real European currency.
For at gå fra mere vigtige spørgsmål til mindre, men lige så relevante spørgsmål : jeg har aldrig set nogen grund til, hvorfor vi, da vi har rejsechecks i dollars, ikke har rejsechecks i ECU.
Mr President, I believe that there is a sound alternative to the unstable United States dollar if the Community itself wants it and believes in it.
Jo hurtigere vi får dem, des bedre.
We shall undoubtedly be discussing these matters again in the months to come.
Hvis vi skal lave et borgernes Europa, bør vi bestemt snarere have rejsechecks i en valuta, der er kendt i Europa, end i en valuta uden for Fællesskabet.
I very much look forward to hearing the views of both the Council and the Commission on this.
Jeg håber, at denne meddelelse når frem til udvalget om borgernes Europa, så at det tager en yderligere anvendelse af ECUen i betragtning ved anvendelsen af rejsechecks. Det ville være til gavn for såvel turister og forretningsfolk som medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet.
President. — I have received the following six motions for resolutions, with request for an early vote pursuant to Rule 42(5), to wind up the debate on the oral questions: tions:
Jeg er naturligvis klar over, at det vil blive nødven digt at oprette en clearingscentral under Den internationale Betalingsbank i Basel, men jeg har fået at vide, at dette sandsynligvis vil ske inden for en nær fremtid, muligvis ved næste års begyndelse.
— by Mr Petronio and Mr Le Pen, on behalf of the Group of the European Right, on international monetary instability (Doc 2-692/84);
Med hensyn til sterling vil jeg gerne påpege, at ster lings bevægelse i forhold til ECUen og de indbyrdes fastlåste europæiske valutaer ikke har været ret meget mere end 4% inden for marginerne gennem de seneste fem år.
The time has come, in my opinion, when it is no longer possible to evade the issues where the institutional aspects in particular are concerned.
Jeg ville sammen med andre medlemmer af min gruppe virkelig glæde mig, hvis Det forenede Kongerige tilstuttede sig det europæiske monetære systems valutakursmekanisme.
Even if a Euro pean monetary fund with real powers cannot be set up in the immediate future, there must be an explicit undertaking to do so within a reasonable period.
Pundet ville blive mere stabilt på det fælles europæiske valutamarked, det ville medvirke til at styrke ECUen som helhed over for dollar og yen og ville øge ekspansionen og anvendelsen af ECUen i hele Det europæiske Fælles skab.
Then and only then will the proposal made by our colleague Mr Fernand Herman take on true meaning, the pro posal made in his excellent report on completion of the EMS, in which he calls for a strengthening of the role performed by the European Monetary Cooperation Fund pending attainment of that objective.
Der er overhovedet ingen tvivl; vi har bevis på, at ECUen anvendes i forhandlinger i forbindelse med Lomé-konventionen og den internationale handel.
— by Mr Bonaccini and others, on the international monetary situation and the role of the ECU (Doc. 2-693/84);
Jeg mener derfor, at anvendelsen af ECUen og Det forenede Kongeriges tilslutning til valutakursmekanismen ville være til gavn for både Det forenede Kongerige og hele Europa.
At the same time, progress needs to be made towards external monetary stability, since in the absence of intervention organized and conducted jointly with the non-member countries which have strong currencies, neither external stability nor even the internal stability of our monetary system will be assured in the long term.
Falconer (S). — (EN) I modsætning til lady Elles, hr. formand, vil vi ikke tale i modstrid med vor partipolitik, men holde os meget klart til den.
— by the Group of the European Democratic Alliance, on monetary problems (Doc. 2-697/84).
Jeg vil også gerne kommentere det, her.
The vote on the request for an early vote will be taken at the end of the debate.
Welsh sagde tidligere om den sikkerhed, der kommer fra deltagerne i de amerikanske væbnede styrker, der er stationeret i mit land. Der er visse mennesker i mit land, der også forkaster den filosofi.
Mr Mühlen (PPE). — (FR) Mr President, the pro gress made in setting up the EMS is really not as
Falconer interesser sandsynligvis tjenes bedre i Det forenede Kongerige af kvinderne i Greenham Common end kvinden i Downing Street 10.
I therefore think that the use of the ECU and the join ing of the United Kingdom in the exchange-rate mechanism would be of benefit both to the United Kingdom and to Europe as a whole.
Vi ser dette som et middel til at styrke det europæiske monetære system, som vi er imod — ikke fordi det er europæisk, men fordi det er monetaristisk.
Mr Herman's report, presented on behalf of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, has demonstrated that this Parliament has clear views on this subject and the determination to see a successful outcome.
Vi forkaster den politik, der har ført til 15 mio arbejdsløse i Europa og 4 mio arbejdsløse i mit land. Det indskrænker også medlemsstaternes demokrati ske ret til at planlægge deres egen økonomi.
Lady Elles (ED). — Mr President, I think the import ance of this debate cannot be stressed too much, particularly in regard to the relaunching of the European economy and, in particular, in relation to the creation of new jobs for those who at the moment combine to make such a large proportion of our labour force, the unemployed.
Vi ønsker at føre kontrol med kapitalen for derved at sikre, at den rigdom, vor befolkning producerer, an vendes til gavn for alle og ikke blot de få, den er til gavn for nu.
I would however, like to inform Members who some times think that Britain remains, as we say in English, the dog in the manger — I am not quite sure how this will be translated in Dutch and Danish but it does mean that we are rather backward in coming forward — that the use of the ECU by British banks is in fact very much wider than is generally known and certainly wider than in other Member States.
Vi ønsker en selektiv importkontrol og en dialog med den tredje verden for at finde ud af, hvordan vi bedst kan hjælpe den.
We do have private deposit accounts in ECU, which I believe are not possible in Germany, we do have loans in ECU, the stability of the ECU and the interest rates have been attractive to investors both within the Community and outside the Community indeed.
Vi ønsker at øge den offentlige sektors udgifter til boliger, transport, sundhedsvæsen og oprettelsen af fritidscentre for be folkningen.
British banks have requests and have been implementing these requests for accounting in ECU across the Common Market in joint ventures and in trading and commercial relations between companies.
Alt dette kunne opnås og knyttes sammen med en udvidelse af demokratiet, så at vore arbejdstagere kunne blive inddtraget i de afgørelser, der berører deres liv.
And, I would add, not only from companies within the Community — also from the USSR and Japan British banks are now receiving requests to do accounting in ECU.
De ville være i stand til at anvende den nye teknologi, således at de efter at have bygget de boliger og hospitaler, som befolkningen har brug for, kunne nedsætte den ugentlige arbejdstid uden tab af købekraft og så udnytte de fritidscentre, som de oprettede til at begynde med. Et stabilt økonomisk samfund ville dermed blive skabt.
It surely gives encouragement both to Britain and the Community as a whole that the ECU is now being regarded as an important international currency.
De begynder nu også at kaste sig over vort lokale selvstyre.
Although one is not the consequence of the other.
Hvor er Albert og Ball løsningen på det store arbejdsløshedsproblem?
I cannot but believe that this is an important factor in creating a stable economy and a position whereby the creation of wealth is enhanced.
I den forud gående mødeperiode foreslog hr. Langes min gode kammerat og ven, Barbara Castle, at nye medlemmer af den britiske Labour-gruppe skulle lære noget om de parlamentariske procedurer.
To come from more important matters to smaller but equally relevant matters, I have never seen any reason why, since we have travellers' cheques in dollars, we do not have travellers' cheques in ECU.
Det samme gælder vor befolkning, der lærer noget hver dag og endnu en gang strømmer til arbejderbevægelsens rækker.
If we are to make a people's Europe, surely we should have travellers' cheques in a currency which is known in Europe rather than in a currency from outside the Community.
Dette kan illustreres ved den kolossale støtte, der gives til de britiske minearbejdere, der trods den konservative regerings overgreb mod dem har været i strejke med en understøttelse på så lidt som 12 £ om ugen gen nem de sidste 7 'h måned.
I hope that this message will go to the Committee on the people's Europe so that it takes into account a further use of the ECU by means of travellers' cheques.
Disse samme minearbejdere kæmper for at beskytte deres arbejdspladser og deres samfund.
It would be of use to tourists and businessmen as well as to MEPs.
Jeg vil gerne afslutte, hr. formand, med et citat af Tom Paine:
I think, after all, we know that business confidence and investment depends on one very important factor, which is a stable currency.
Tyranni er, ligesom helvede, ikke let at besejre, men vi har denne trøst: jo hårdere konflikten er, des mere strålende er triumfen.
It also depends on an exchange-rate stability with major trading partners.
For det, vi opnår så let, værdsætter vi så lidt.
This undoubtedly would be helped if the ECU were used very much more widely than it has been so far.
Hr. formand, den eneste måde at stoppe dette valu taudsving på, er på fuld demokratisk vis at engagere arbejdstagerne mod fru Thatchers sindssyge politik og reaganismens tyranni. Det kan man kun opnå ved at fremme den demokratiske socialisme.
I understand, of course, that it will be necessary to create a clearing-house under the Bank of International Settlements in Basle, but I have been given to understand that this is likely to happen within the near future, possibly by the beginning of next year.
Vi hører så meget om USA, og hvordan de har haft opsving og reduceret arbejdsløsheden. Jeg vil gerne minde kollegerne om, at USA har øget sit beskæftigelsestal med kun 2,5% over det, det var, da Reagan kom til magten.
With regard to sterling, I would like to point out that the movement of sterling in relation to the ECU and the joint European currencies has not varied by very much more than 4% within the margins over the last five years.
Deltidsbeskæftigelse holder kun lige arbejdstagernes købekraft en anelse over den, man får gennem socialhjælp, og forringer deres levestandard yderligere. Hertil kommer stigningen i antallet af uorganiserede virksomheder i mit land, som f.eks. Texas Instruments, Motorola, National Semiconductors, General Instruments og Hughes Microelectronics.
I, with other members of my group, would certainly 'welcome the United Kingdom's joining the exchange-rate mechanism of the European monetary system.
Alle disse virksomheder modtager for øjeblikket EF-støtte og udøver samtidig fagforeningsfjendtlig praksis i mit land.
There is no doubt at all, we have evidence of the ECU being used in Lomé Convention negotiations and in international trade negotiations.
Disse kræfter udgør tilsammen et direkte angreb på vore demokratier og har resulteret ikke blot i dollarudsvinget, men også — eftersom kapitalen fortsat stræber efter udbytte uden hensyntagen til folk — i en ubstabil økonomi i hele Europa og hele verden.
So the use of the ECU is not only for internal purposes but also to develop the world trade importance of the Com munity, on which, of course, the economy of this part of the world so much depends, since we are not an inward-looking organization but one which depends on world trade for the economic revival and survival of this part of the world.
Det er filosofien om et økonomisk spil leautomatsystem, der kun kan stamme fra den tankens fattigdom, vi ser komme fra præsident Reagans forstyrrede halvfjerdsårige tankevirksomhed og fra den velsignede Margaret Thatcher.
I therefore, with others, Mr President, join in request ing the Commission and the Council to look urgently into a greater use of the ECU, to take measures
Jeg er enig med komissær Ortoli, blot er tidspunktet nu vældig vigtigt.
country, such as Texas Instruments, Motorola, National Semiconductors, General Instruments and Hughes Microelectronics.
Det er nu på tide at tage afgørende, således har han også udtrykt det, skridt, og der er fremsat nok konkrete forslag.
All of these companies are receiving EEC grants at the present time while operating non-union practices in my country.
Jeg behøver ikke at gentage dem, jeg henviser blot til min gruppes beslut ning.
These forces linked together are a direct attack on our democracies and have resulted not only in the dollar fluctuation but also — as capital continues to move, with no regard for people, in pursuit of profit — in an unstable econ omy throughout Europe and the whole world.
Jeg vil blot gerne endnu en gang stille især Rådet følgende spørgsmål: Hvis der ikke sker noget nu, hvilke omstændigheder må der så indtræde, for at der i hvert fald tages skridt?
It is the philosophy of a fruit-machines system of economics which can only stem from poverty of thought such as we see coming from the troubled septuagenarian mind of President Reagan and from the Blessed Margaret Thatcher.
går af verdenshandelen, hvoraf Europa udgør en del, og af de investeringer, der tilsyneladende er gået i gang i den senere tid.
Mr Falconer (S). — Unlike Lady Elles, Mr President, we will not speak against our party policy but stick very clearly to it.
Dog overskygges dette af en faktor af ekstern oprindelse, nemlig den amerikanske dollars stilling med alt, hvad dermed er forbundet.
I would also like to comment on what Mr Welsh said earlier on regarding the security that comes from members of America's armed forces being stationed in my country.
Det kan betyde, at man kan komme til at stå over for et pludseligt fald med kumulative følger, der kan have en ugunstig indvirkning, også på vor økonomi.
There are certain people in my country who reject that philosophy also.
Dette betyder også for Europa en for stor afhængighed af De forenede Staters økonomiske politik. tik.
We feel that the interests of democracy are probably better served in Britain by the women of Greenham Com mon than the woman in 10 Downing Street.
Seligman (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil bruge Parlamentet som et forum til at tale til min regering, ' og i modsætning til hr. Falconer er jeg ikke bundet af partipolitik i Det forenede Kongerige.
To deal with the matter in hand, various colleagues have already expressed the views of the Socialist Group on the fluctuations in the dollar exchange rates and the high interest rates in the home markets.
Det forene de Kongerige har for vane at sige, at tiden ikke er moden til at tilslutte sig det europæiske monetære systems valutakursmekanisme.
We see this as a means of strengthening the European Monetary System, to which we are opposed — not because it is European but because it is monetarist.
Hvornår vil tiden være moden? Snart vil den muligvis være så moden, at den falder ned fra træerne.
We reject that policy, which has led to 15 million unemployed in Europe and 4 million unemployed in my country.
Der er blevet givet meget forskellige undskyldninger for ikke at tilslutte sig EMS.
It also reduces the democratic right of Member States to plan their own economies.
Derfor er det absolut nødvendigt — andre har allerede nævnt det — at det europæiske økonomiske mo netære system styrkes.
We would have selective import controls and a dialogue with the Third World to establish how best we could assist it.
I stedet for at begynde med at kritisere amerikanerne — selv om der bestemt er god grund til det — er det bedre, at vi selv først udarbejder egne planer og omsætter verbale stimulanser til operationel politik.
They would be able to make use of new technology, so that after they had built the houses and hospitals that our people need, they could reduce the working week without the loss of their purchasing-power and then take advantage of the leisure centres which they created in the first instance. Thus a stable economic society would be created.
Den første undskyldning er, at Det forenede Kongerige har en olievaluta, der overvurderer pund sterling. Siden faldet i oliepriserne gennem det sidste halvandet år har dette ordnet sig og er ikke længere en vigtig faktor i den givne situation.
We see the fluctuation of the dollar as a result of the freedom of movement of capital, which, coupled with the control of the workers' bargaining power through unfair and unjust laws, has led to capital profits moving to exploit working people in the Third World in addition to creating unemployment amongst those workers who first created that wealth.
Den anden undskyldning er, at sterling er en international reserve- og handelsvaluta.
At its centre is a declared intention to reduce the wages of our working people.
Nu om stunder er der andre valutaer, der er lige så vigtige som sterling, og snart vil ECUen måske blive en af dem.
It has accelerated the rate of unemployment, with all the financial and social implications that that involves.
Den tredje undskyldning er, at Det forene de Kongerige ikke kunne holde sig inden for svingningsmarginerne i EMS.
In order to maintain high profits for their friends, the Tories in my country continue to inflict cuts upon our people in the health service, the education services and their housing.
Det har nu vist sig i de seneste fem år, at sterling ikke har bevæget sig mere end 4% i forhold til den europæiske valutakurv.
They are also now commencing to attack our local democracies.
I de seneste ti år ville en grænse på 4% faktisk ikke have været noget problem for Det forenede Kongerige. Dette er de tre undskyldninger, der gives.
Where are the Albert and Ball solutions to this problem of high unemployment?
Men inflationen er nu lavere, end da EMSen blev indført, inflationsforskellene er mindre end nogen sinde tidligere, der er nu også tak ket været EMSen politisk konvergens, der har i det sidste halvandet år ikke været justeringer, og desuden står vi nu — og det er en gunstig bivirkning ved den nuværende udvikling — med reserver i mange lande, hvad angår den tyske mark.
At the previous part-session, Mr Langes suggested to my good comrade and friend, Barbara Castle, that new Members of the British Labour Group should receive some lessons on parliamentary procedures.
Konklusionen kan være, at mange af de nævnte indvendinger, der dengang forhindrede fremskridt, nu ikke længere er gældende, ikke længere er holdbare.
I can assure Mr Langes that we require no lessons from his group or any other on the rights of this Assembly.
Blot består der nu en anden fare, nemlig at den samme relativt gunstige situation, der nu muliggør skridt fremad, beklageligt nok tilsyneladende ikke fremtvinger disse skridt. Det ville være meget skidt, for det kan vel ske, at denne relativt gunstige situation atter forsvinder på meget kort sigt.
We see it as a rabid supporter of a free market and, like our Danish colleagues and our Greek Communist colleagues, are very apprehensive about its continuation.
