Følgende er vi enige om : at grænserne mellem ét mellemsland og et andet aldrig ophæves fuldt ud, medmindre der sker en form for afgiftsharmonisering, hvilket er Euro-slang for en tilnærmelse af vore skattesystemer og afgiftssatser.
May I add that although we are fairly satisfied with the Commission's cooperation, there is none the less one point on which we do not agree: the Commission appears reluctant to help us on any questions relating to violations of fundamental rights.
De modsætter sig en afgiftsharmonisering i den nationale suverænitets navn.
We have several times taken the initiative of revising our Rules of Procedure accordingly and supported the improved procedures which were adopted in 1981.
Det er rigtigt, som jeg sagde, at dette direktiv vil begrænse deres frihed til at hæve eller sænke skat terne.
We consider the right to petition to be an important element of democratic relations within our Community.
Vi tror, at det vil øge handelen, frem me den økonomiske vækst og begrænse arbejdsløsheden for alle vore folk.
An increasing number of questions will fall within the Community's sphere of competence.
De meget store forskelle i skatte- og afgiftssaterne, især momssatserne, er årsag til megen strid i mange medlemsstater.
We were surprised that the Commission did not want to go along with us on this point.
Bonaccini (COM). — (IT) Hr. formand, når man drøfter sådanne spørgsmål, især i et så politisk forum
We have also defended Parliament's competence in this right to petition.
I denne sammenhæng går jeg stærkt ind for de tanker, som min gruppe foreslår, for at gøre dette mere
We believe that a committee of this Parliament is in a better position than an ombudsman to perform this role.
acceptabelt for medlemsstaterne, især at vi vælger det vejede gennemsnit. Jeg mener, at det er mere retfærdigt end den mere obligatoriske kurs, som andre fore slår, fordi den i det mindste tager nogen højde for forskellene mellem de forskellige økonomier.
We can only remind the Council and Member States of the commitment they gave concerning a citizens' Europe and of the points made in Mr Adonnino's very relevant report on how to solve specific problems these citizens have.
Denne ophævelse af grænser kræver utvivlsomt en harmonisering, en nivellering og en ensretning af skatte- og afgiftssystemerne og især af de nationale afgifssatser.
The Socialist Group therefore support's Mr Amadei's motion and thinks that the report's call for an interinstitutional agreement to make it possible to talk to the Council, and through it to the Member States, is a real step forward.
Man kan ikke tale om et fuldstændigt integreret indre marked, hvis ikke alle EF-borgere behandles ens med hensyn til betaling af skatter og afgifter i hver EF-medlemsstat.
We therefore, on behalf of the Socialist Group, urge the Assembly to vote for this report.
Jeg tror, at der i hvert fald i nogle lande er en vis illusion om, at høje momssatser er fordelagtige på lang sigt.
We need a procedure to facilitate the direct link between the citizens and Parliament, with the much appreciated cooperation of the Commission, which would involve the cooperation of the Member States; an interinstitutional agreement could be ven' helpful here.
Jeg tror, at min regering har den opfattelse.
That is why we in the EPP support this report.
Det er de højeste i Fællesskabet for øjeblikket, som det allerede er blevet nævnt.
I think that it is the duty of the Commission to develop new initiatives here.
Men vi også det land, der har den største arbejdsløshed, og det land der har noget nær den højeste, hvis ikke den højeste, statsgæld pr. indbygger.
And I would very much appreciate hearing the Commissioner's reaction to my amendment.
Det mener jeg ikke.
IN THE CHAIR: MR LUCAS PIRES
Hvis det overhovedet bevirker noget, hæmmer det økonomien og bremser udviklingen i handelen. Der for ser det ud, som om vi aldrig kommer ud af det problem.
In general, Mr President, our group will vote in favour of this report, which we hope will help to make Europe more relevant to ordinary people.
Jeg tror, kære kolleger, at vi alle, absolut alle der er forsamlede her, bør være for oprettelsen af et Europa.
Mrs Oppenheim (ED). — (DA) Mr President, the rising number of petitions received by the European Par liament is surely the clearest proof that people need somewhere to voice their complaints.
Opbygningen af Europa sker gennem en gradvis og tvangfri tilnærmelse af særlige aspekter for at opnå fremskridt med hele sektorer.
This is happen ing despite the fact that not very many citizens actually know of this function and possibility.
Suveræniteteme, kære kolleger, må opgives til fordel for én eneste suverænitet: den europæiske.
It also happens very often that people get bogged down in the system and cannot get their case heard because it does not fall under the jurisdiction of any of the national courts, the Court of Human Rights or some other administrative complaints tribunal in a country.
Jeg støtter altså fuldt ud dette forslag, og jeg anbefaler igen, at vi vælger det vejede gennemsnit som et middel til at komme fremad i stedet for det modsatte.
Mr Chanterie (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, during the partsession in May 1985 Parliament adopted a report on strengthening its procedures when dealing with petitions.
Christensen (ARC). — Hr. formand, forslagene om at harmonisere antallet og størrelsen af satser på moms og punktafgifter er dybt alvorlige og farlige anslag mod Danmarks selvbestemmelsesret over vores social- og fordelingspolitik, vores skattepolitik, vores velfærdssamfund og vores muligheder for at føre en økonomisk politik passende efter danske forudsætninger og omstændigheder.
But Mr Amadei's report is needed none the less; when we deal with petitions in our committee, we realize that we now enjoy good cooperation between our parliamentary committee and the Commission, and especially with a large number of directorates-general on which we rely for necessary information.
Jeg opkaster endnu en gang herfra den tanke, at vi må gøre alt, hvad der er muligt for, at vore lande kan finde en formel med henblik på en indbyrdes tilnærmelse af afgiftssatser.
We have certain criteria regarding the petitions which can be dealt with, and these criteria are Very wideranging — sometimes too wide-ranging.
Vi må herfra hjælpe Kommissionen, så den kan fortsætte det vanskelige hverv, det er at harmonisere momssatserne og afgifterne på de enkelte varer uden tilbageskridt eller pauser på vejen.
There are cases in which one may assume investigations of various kinds were undertaken before the European Par liament became involved.
Vi mener, at landene, især nabolandene indbyrdes, bør indgå aftaler om en mere integreret progressiv samordning af systemer, satser og opkrævningsmetoder.
I do not think that we should be restrictive; on the other hand we must require that petitions relate to a particular problem of gravity, precisely in order not to devalue the facility open to citizens of presenting petitions to the European Parliament and of giving voice to justified com plaints.
Jeg tror, hr. formand, at Kommissionen, hvad angår skatte- og afgiftssystemerne, må være meget fornuftig, men meget urokkelig.
It is due to this cooperation that in many cases we have been able to deal effectively with petitions and offer solutions to very real problems brought before us by ordinary people — as the previous two speakers have just said.
Jeg tror, at vi ved at prioritere samordningsprocessen fører europæisk politik.
There is a second area in which we must act, namely, the Member States and the national administrations, for there is a gap there.
Vi fører hverken en venstre orienteret eller en højreorienteret politik, men simpelt hen en europæisk politik.
If often happens that we must ask the Commission to urge the national administrations to cooperate and even then these administrations are still very slow to react.
Efter min mening er disse indrømmelser både på venstrefløjen og på højrefløjen, når man fører en europæisk politik, indrømmelser til fordel for en helhed.
Sometimes they take months to reply, even after repeated reminders.
Hvis denne helhed er EF-borgeme, er det umagen værd at acceptere dem.
We had yet another example of that at our last committee
Det er blevet beregnet af det danske finansministerium, at en totalharmonisering af moms og punktafgifter vil betyde et provenutab for den danske statskasse på 36 mia kr., som enten må erstattes af enorme offentlige nedskæringer, en drastisk forhøjelse af ver dens i forvejen højeste indkomstskat eller massiv omlægning af finansieringen af vore sociale ydelser væk fra det solidariske princip og over til arbejdstager- og arbejdsgiverbidrag.
Parliament's Committee on the Rules of Procedure and Petitions has for many years encountered difficulties in obtaining relevant data and additional information in order to be able to deal seriously with petitions.
Selv den konservative danske finansminister stritter imod, men det forhindrer ikke hans danske partifælle, vor kollega fru Op penheim, i at stå som ordfører for denne betænkning, som helt og fuldt tilslutter sig totalharmoniseringsprincippet.
It is not only in Parliament's interest that the citizens should, through the petitioning institution, be given greater legal security and confidence in the system at both national and Community level.
Fru Oppenheim skriver endog i sin be tænkning, at overvejelser om at lade medlemsstater, hvis niveau afviger markant fra de øvrige staters — og det er først og fremmest Danmark, der i praksis er tale om her — opnå en særlig status, er uacceptable. le.
It is in everyone's interest that the concept of the People's Europe should not be just fine words on paper but that it should be possible to achieve concrete results. It is not particularly edifying that communications between the three
Mühlen (PPE). - (FR) Hr. formand, det skal først og fremmest bemærkes, at medværdiafgiften er en neutral afgift.
Oppenheim need this report in order to draw particular attention to petitions?
Det er den i den forstand, at den ikke for drejer konkurrencen på tværs af grænserne.
institutions should be as poor as they are.
Det er derfor ikke nogen absolut nødvendighed at have helt identiske enhedssatser over hele det fælles marked.
It is the citizens of all the institutions we are concerned with, and we must call for more cooperation arrangements to be set up.
På den anden side har Fællesskabet ingen interesse i, at forskellen mellem de på det indre mar ket anvendte satser er alt for stor.
My group support the report, and I should like to take this opportunity to say that we also support the amendment tabled by Mr Chanterie.
I Danmark har vi en regering, der ved en utrolig effektiv indsats er ved at have genoprettet den danske økonomi.
The first aim we want to achieve is to bind the Council in an interinstitutional agreement.
Der er skabt mange nye arbejdspladser, så flere er kommet i arbejde, og arbejdsløsheden er den laveste i Europa.
We have already achieved a great deal through cooperating with the Commission.
Serviceniveauet er højt, og det sociale sikkerhedsnet er solidt.
We now have the chance to act directly with the Council.
Det får man jo ikke forærende.
Let me give you an example.
Det ekstra store forbrug, der er en følge af den bedre beskæftigelse, betyder, at landets handels balance ikke kan bringes i orden uden forbrugsbegrænsende tiltag. Det vil således være totalt umuligt i denne genoprettelsesfase at få råd til at nedbringe moms og afgifter i så hurtig en takt, som der tales om i denne betænkning.
The six original Member States of the Community signed a treaty in 1968 on implementing legal decisions.
Derfor vil de danske konservative undlade at stemme ved afstemningen.
And with the further enlargement to include Greece and then Spain and Portugal another section was added.
Brito Apolónia (COM). - (PT) Hr. formand, den foreliggende betænkning går i retning af at fremskynde Kommissionens forslag til direktiv, bare med få ændringer.
Mr Pegado Liz (RDE). — (PT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the short time allocated to me for this subject will allow me only to stress the importance of the right of petition as a legal instrument for the participation of citizens in the political life of the Com munity.
Imidlertid er ophævelse af afgiftsgrænser eller harmonisering af afgifter mangesidede processer med man gesidede virkninger for medlemsstaterne, navnlig de mindre udviklede.
It is vital to see this right, embodied in the parliamentary system, as a true right of political participation and not as a personal right which means that it may be exercised individually or collectively, irrespective of the existence of any wrong or damage to personal interests.
Når det er sagt, bør Kommissionens bestræbelser på at skabe forudsætningerne for en tilnærmelse af sat serne bedømmes positivt.
This treaty between the nine Member States could not be implemented after the first enlargement because the national parliament of one of the original Member States failed to do the necessary to ratify the treaty.
Fastfrysning af forskellig heden og de ekstreme satser, der ligger over eller under gennemsnittet, er en uomgængelig nødvendig hed, hvis man i anden omgang skal arbejde på tilnærmelse af satserne.
We of course have been hounding this Member State by means of a petition which we have already been dealing with for more than two years.
Når det gælder Portugal, hidrører en stor del af statens afgiftsindtægter fra moms og afgifter, der er på lagt specifikke varer, og enhver ændring i disse ind tægtskilder vil skabe dybe økonomiske, finansielle og sociale forstyrelser.
But, precisely because of that, it is essential to ensure that the competent authorities effectively carry out their obligation to reply in all cases in which there is a corresponding duty to inform.
I den forbindelse bør det betænkes, at det er i Fælles skabets interesse at holde satserne på et så lavt ni veau som muligt.
We also welcome the Amadei report because this is another way of drawing attention to citizens' rights.
Kort sagt skal den retningsvisende sats ligge så lavt som muligt. For øvrigt kan jeg ikke se noget som helst til hinder for, at der anbefales en vejledende middelsats på 16% eller lavere, forudsat at man accepterer udsving på 3 eller 4% opefter eller nedefter.
I also feel, Mr President, that we really need a European Government.
Desuden betød indførelse af momsen i Portugal en forværring af den i forvejen skæve afgiftsstruktur ved at forøge de indirekte skatters byrde og derved navn lig straffe arbejderbefolkningen.
The consistent proposals made in the Amadei report seem highly appropriate in this respect, since it is intended that the various Community bodies shall be given, specifically by interinstitutional agreement, responsibility for following up petitions.
I 1986-statsbudgettet udgør de indirekte skatter 1,7 gange de direkte skat ters værdi, nemlig henholdsvis 496 milliarder og 288 milliarder escudos. Modsat fortægter vi portugisiske kommunister, at afgifterne i det væsentlige skal falde på fortjenesten.
It nevertheless needs to be pointed out that this right and the form of the guarantee should not be seen in isolation but must first be incorporated in a broader complex of provisions giving the appropriate publicity and transparency in Community administration, giving citizens a basic right to be informed, the corollary of which is the duty of Community bodies to provide information.
Endelig er det ikke tilstrækkeligt at foretage en tilnærmelse af merværdiafgiftssatserne én gang for alle. Man bør undgå, at kapløbet om forhøjelse af satserne ikke bagefter kommer og ødelægger det heldige ud fald af vore tilnærmelsesbestræbelser på dette område. de.
It is only within the context of a general right to information, covering complex aspects ranging from the protection of true and honest information to the pro tection of private life and the stating of reasons for official acts, that the right to petition — in its broader sense of the right to make representations, or claims or complaints — will assume its full role as a fundamental right, as provided in the draft treaty on European Union approved by this Parliament.
Den frie bevægelighed af varer kan på den anden side have skadelige konsekvenser for vort produktionsapparat.
Mr Lafuente López (ED). — (ES) I should like, Mr President, on behalf of my Spanish colleagues, to point out that we, from our side, are lending our support to Mr Amadei's report.
Vi frygter navnlig, at handelen med andre medlemslande fordrejes, navnlig med Spanien på grund af dets naboposition.
I should, however, also remind you that this support is conditional, since wc have been repeating the same words year after year.
Vi er dog klar over, at navnlig Spanien uretmæssigt benytter sig af tekniske handelshindringer til at bremse for portugisisk eksport.
We are now, in 1986, repeating the same message as Mr Chanterie's proposal in 1985; and we must not forget that since 1979 efforts have been taking place in this Parliament to formalize verification operations and those in the defence of citizens' rights in a farreaching and definitive manner.
Jepsen (ED). — Hr. formand, en fuldstændig harmonisering af momssatserne og punktafgifterne er et stort mål at sætte sig.
Mrs Boot (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, we warmly welcome Mr Amadei's report.
Det ville derfor være ønskeligt, om en så ømtålelig sag blev behandlet forsigtigt, og at man i forvejen havde fastslået, hvilke økonomiske, finansielle og sociale konsekvenser forslaget ville få i hvert af de
In 1985 Mr Chanterie, who spoke before me, tabled another motion for a resolution, a resolution which appears to have been buried, since we have heard no more of this Parliamentary Commissioner who would, perhaps, have represented the solution to all these problems, even if he was only to be a somewhat tooth-
Man spørger jo sig selv: Hvem og hvad repræsenterer dette danske parlamentsmedlem? Er det hendes vælgere?
Member States can do nothing, but where Parliament, with its democratic legitimacy, has often been able to intervene effectively.
stemmighed, og altså kan dette direktivforslag ikke vedtages.
Above all, just as the cooperation procedure under the Single European Act will need it in the future so this procedure needs now a proper system for transferring information between all the institutions.
Den kendsgerning er man ikke glad for at se i øjnene, og for at dække over skibbruddet foreslår man Kommissionen meget pænt at gå i gang med nogle beregninger og undersøgelser.
If we all share the information in common, then together we shall be much more effective than we are at the moment separately. ately.
In gen af disse veje er farbare; vi brager alle slags finanspolitiske kneb hjemme hos os. Den nuværende, og i øvrigt på papiret meget EF-positive, regering gør det også.
In this respect I believe the Commission has given concrete evidence of its good intentions, as was acknowledged in the debate, by promptly and scrupulously providing the requested details and information.
Hvad forestillede han sig egentlig?
Where is this Parliamentary Commissioner?
Måske han havde en tidsplan på 100 år i baghovedet! det!
What have those of us belonging to the committee which was supposed to formalize this position been doing?
Det står fast, at direktivet ikke kan vedtages, og mit parti er i en helt usædvanlig overensstemmelse med den siddende regering, når vi stemmer imod såvel Kommissionens forslag som forslaget til beslutning.
It seems to me that this motion for a resolution, which we are ready to back completely, is possibly — with respect, and in full recognition of all the goodwill involved — going to resolve very little.
Hermed er Danmarks officielle synspunkt klart, og så kan fru Oppenheim for mig være politisk klovn alt det, hun ønsker.
I would like to point out that the European Com munity must acquire more substance and a more welldefined and consistent democratic outlook.
Jeg undrer mig såre over, hvad den ne forsamling finder af seriøs vejledning heri.
The Com munity of material interests must constantly try to transform itself into a Community of destinies and rights.
Ripa Di Meana, medlem af Kommissionen. — (IT) Hr. formand, i overensstemmelse med tidsplanen i hvidbogen for oprettelse af det indre marked forelagde Kommissionen sidst i 1985 dette forslag, der udgør en standstill for moms og punktafgifter.
Mr Prout (ED). — Mr President, I have just three observations to make.
Vi for vor del håber, at det kan vedtages af Rådet endnu i år.
First of all, in order to make the system work, Parliament must have a committee which deals exclusively with petitions.
Forslaget skal betragtes som et første, men efter vores opfattelse vigtigt skridt i ret ning af harmonisering af moms og punktafgifter. For øjeblikket er der store forskelle mellem satserne for disse indirekte afgifter, gående fra én enkelt sats i nogle medlemsstater til hele syv satser i andre.
And I hope that in January, when we come to readjust our com mittees in Parliament, we shall make sure that we create a single Petitions Committee, that we put members on it who are prepared to work and that we give it a secretariat large enough and capable enough to do the very difficult job they have to do.
Jeg behøver næppe at sige mere som begrundelse for, at vi tre danske socialdemokrater ikke stemmer for hverken Kommissionens direktiv eller udvalgets for slag til beslutning; vi synes i hvert fald ikke, at vi skulle være tvetydige, som fra Jepsen var det.
So the Commission congratulates Parliament on the work it has done over these years, and above all on the indefatigable labours of your Committee on the Rules of Procedure and Petitions; this has resulted in a de facto extension of the right of petition, which has acquired more substance now than in the past.
Det havde været rarere at se, at de fire konservative hav de stemt imod både Kommissionens direktivforslag og fru Oppenheims betænkning.
At this point I would like to express an opinion that differs somewhat from that of Mr Lafuente, who felt that nothing was moving: even if things are not moving as fast as we might want, the situation as regards the people's Europe is anything but stagnant.
Boserup (COM). — Hr. formand, så tager vi den én gang til, men jeg skal prøve at være lidt venlig i tonen : når jeg ser denne betænkning, får jeg en slags søsterlig medlidenhed med ordføreren. Hun har fået en helt umulig opgave.
My second observation is that I know, in saying this, I have the full support of the Member States of the Community, because at the European Council meet ings in Stuttgart, Fontainebleau and Milan they put contact between the Community and the citizens in the forefront of their thinking.
Vi ved, at Kommission en hævder, at nu haster det med at få lavet den har monisering, hvis vi skal have lavet det indre mar ked.
In circumstances where they are not, they are, of course, liable to legal remedies in the same way as any other breach of the Treaty would give rise to.
Kommissionen har forpligtet sig til næste år at frem lægge forslag, der fastlægger de momssatser, som alle medlemsstater bør vedtage, niveauerne for disse sat ser og de vigtigste punktafgifter samt de differentierede momssatser for varer og tjenesteydelser, hvis vi foreslår mere end én sats.
In that context, after the last review of its own Rules of Procedure Parliament inserted a new Chapter XIV on handling petitions which regulates the matter more clearly and firmly than before.
Det vil ske i det følgen de stadium. Det, der for nærværende er vigtigt, er at forhindre, at de nuværende forskelle forøges.
Finally, the petitions system could not work without the help of the Commission, and I should like to say how well it performs in difficult circumstances in pro viding us with the information we need.
I den forstand kan jeg følge den opfordring om et trinvist program, der er blevet udtrykt i denne forhandling.
But I think there are areas in which it could do better.
