Kun på grundlag af en sådan balance, hr. formand, kan vi føre en effektiv politik, som virkelig bekæmper terrorismen, hvor den end kommer fra.
Only within such a framework of moderation, Mr President, can we exercise an effective policy of true oppostion to terrorism, wherever it comes from.
(') Ændringsforslag af Habsburg, Tzounis, Poettering for det europæiske folkepartis gruppe,
— by Mr Cervetti and others, on behalf of the Com munist and Allies Group, on US threats to impose trade restrictions on agricultural products (Doc. B2-147/86).
B2-hl/86 ogforkastedes ændringsforslag nr. '
It should be noted, moreover, that Portugal is only
den amerikanske afgørelse af 31. marts i år, hvor man truer med at fastsætte kvotaer og pålægge visse EF-produkter højere toldafgifter som gengældelse for den handelspolitik, der er ført af de to lande på Den iberiske Halvø efter tiltrædelsen til EF.
Domingos obliged to buy about 15% of the cereals it imports from the EEC market, and that the USA is going to benefit from a significant reduction in the customs duties applied to industrial products imported by Portugal and by Spain.
Jeg vil sige i starten, at jeg ikke er en af dem, der mener, at englene udelukkende er på Fællesskabets side og djævlene udelukkende på De forenede Staters side.
I am going to say at the outset that I am not one of those who think that the angels are wholly on the side of the Community and the devils wholly on the side of the United States.
Der er fejl og klagepunkter på begge sider, Hvis jeg vedgår det, håber jeg, at den amerikanske regering også vil benytte lejligheden til at gøre det samme.
There are faults and grievances on both sides. If I acknowledge that fact, I hope that the United States Administration will also take the oppor tunity to do the same.
Det er klart, at USA snarere vil lægge pres på EF lige før den nye GATT-runde end klage over et kommer cielt tab. Herved giver man også et politisk svar på de vanskeligheder, Reagan-administrationen har med amerikanske kornproducenter.
We are convinced that Europe's response must be both calm and constructive, and achieve a durable solution to the problems of surpluses that threaten world trade in cereals and in other agricultural products.
Vi er ikke i tvivl om, at Europas svar må være klart og konstruktivt. Man må finde en langsigtet løsning på overskudslagreproblememe, som truer verdens handlen med korn og andre landbrugsprodukter.
For our part, we think that measures will have to be taken which lead to a reduction of surpluses so that prices do not fall, production in developing countries is stimulated and the excessive burden of subsidies is reduced.
De forenede Stater har et klagepunkt i spørgsmålet om korn og sorghum. Jeg vil ikke gå i detaljer med det, da de selv har gjort det.
The United States has a grievance over the question of corn and sorghum.
Mit andet eksempel — og jeg håber, Parlamentet tilgivermig, hvis jeg er lidt partisk, når jeg trækker på min egen erfaring i Det forende Kongerige — er, at vi har et klagepunkt vedrørende de restriktioner, som Amerika pålægger importen af skotsk whisky. Skotsk whisky må nødvendigvis importeres.
My second example — and I hope the House will forgive me if I am a little partisan, drawing on my own experiences in the United Kingom — is that we have a grievance over the restrictions which America is placing on the over the restrictions which America is placing on the import of Scotch whisky.
Det fremstilles kun i ét land, og medmindre amerikanerne tolerer efterligninger, som jeg ikke tror de gør, diskriminerer de mod et produkt, der kun kan fås fra ét land, og fratager således deres forbrugere en valgmulighed og en mulighed for at købe denne ud mærkede væske.
It is only made in one country, and unless the Americans are condoning counterfeiting, which I do not believe they would do, then they are discriminating against a product which can only be obtained from one country, thus depriving their consumers of a choice and an opportunity to purchase this excellent liquid.
Jeg håber, at den amerikanske regering vil erkende ligesom dette forslag, som jeg nærer tillid til, parlamentet vil vedtage, at en handelskrig mellem os er yderst skadelig for begge parters interesser.
I hope that that the American Administration will recognize, as does this motion, which I trust the House will adopt, that a trade war between us is highly damaging to the interests of both of us.
I december gav Parlamentet sin tilslutning til en beslutning om, at problemerne bør løses ved at styrke GATT-disciplinen.
Last December Parliament went on record as endorsing a resolution that problems should be solved through strengthening the GATT discipline.
Hvad angår konsekvenserne af udvidelsen med Spanien, var der intet umiddelbart hastværk, og jeg mener, aktionen var overdet.
As far as the consequences of the enlargement to include Spain are concerned, there was no imme diate urgency, and I think its action was precipitate.
Vi har indtil slutningen af juni til forhandlinger i GATT for at behandle dette klagepunkt.
We have until the end of June for negotiations in GATT to deal with that particular grievance.
Det var derfor ikke nødvendigt at reagere med et sådant hastværk.
It was not necessary, therefore, to act with such haste.
Man må prøve at etablere en konstruktiv dialog. Vi skal kun forsvare os, hvis amerikanerne konkretiserer den nuværende trussel.
In our view, the road to follow must be that of con structive dialogue, and defensive measures should only be taken if the Americans carry out their present threat.
I Portugals tilfælde indrømmer jeg, at det er mere presserend, at fristen er sat til den 1. maj.
In the case of Portugal, I concede that this is more urgent, that the deadline is set at 1 May.
Jeg in drømmer også, at Fællesskabet naturligvis teknisk set overtræder GATT.
I also concede that the Community may be technically in breach of the GATT.
Men det er lidt ironisk, at ved at indføre Kvantitative restriktioner begrænser vi i realiteten importen for Portugals vedkommende til min dre end det, vi sandsynligvis havde opnået, hvis vi ikke havde fællesskabspræferencen.
However, it is a little ironic that in imposing quantitative restrictions, we, in fact, limited import in respect of Portugal to less than what would probably have been achieved if we had not had Community preference.
Vi er overbevist om, at vi endnu kan nå at undgå det værste og opbygge et solidt grundlag for et solidarisk og harmonisk samarbejde i en fri verden.
We are convinced that there is still time to avoid the worst and to construct, in the near future, the solid foundations of a cooperation that will make the mutual and harmonious development of the free world viable.
Dame Shelagh Roberts (ED). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg mener, at det er yderst beklageligt, at der igen er
Dame Shelagh Roberts (ED). — Mr President, I believe it to be highly regrettable that once again the need has arisen for this House to debate a motion critical of action taken by the United States Administration.
Jeg håber derfor, at de forhandlinger, der for øjeblik ket finder sted, på begge sider vil tage hensyn til vore forpligtelser i henhold til GATT, og at vi kan løse dette problem i stedet for at lade det udvikle sig til en bitter strid.
Medeiros Ferreira (RDE). — (PT) The motion for a resolution under consideration is worthy of the sup port of the Group of the European Alliance for Renewal and Democracy.
Dette blot fordi nogle amerikanske landmænd har lidt tab ved tiltrædelsestraktaternes underskrivelse. Jeg gentager: traktaterne blev forhandlet mellem suveræne stater og ifølge principper anerkendt af international ret.
In the first place, we regret that the enlargement of the EEC to include Portugal and Spain has been the occasion of this exercise in threats and pressure carried out by the USA.
Vi beklager først, at Portugals og Spaniens indtræden i EF skulle give anledning til pression og trusler fra USAs side.
The fact is that, given the weakness of the North American complaint, the measures brandished are quite excessive.
Somme tider kan visse sektorbestemte økonomiske problemer uden tvivl påvirke politiske begreber.
There is no doubt that, at times, certain partial economic interests succeed in imposing themselves on general political ideas.
Her tænker jeg på USAs positive holdning, da de to iberiske lande ansøgte om optagelse og nu denne beklagelige ensidige handling.
I refer to the favourable attitude demonstrated by the USA when the Iberian countries applied for membership — an attitude now belied by this unilateral punitive action.
Dernæst vil vi også fremhæve, at de amerikanske handelsrestriktioner berører specielt Den iberiske Halvø, som rammes tre gange:
In the second place, we would point out that the North American trade restrictions particularly affect the Iberian countries, and are triply damaging:
1. fordi den har sænket tolden på industriprodukter af amerikansk oprindelse ved tiltrædelsen ;
(1) because of customs duties on North American industrial products being lowered as a consequence of accession;
Fællesskabets in stitutioner har således ret — for ikke at sige pligt — til at træffe gengældelsesforanstaltninger som bebudet af kommissær De Clercq.
In reality, the accession brings the United States undeniable advantages, notably in the trade in industrial products, thanks to the reduction of customs tariffs in the new Member States.
2. fordi dens adgang til kornmarkedet er blevet be grænset;
(2) because of access to the market for cereals being restricted ;
3. fordi dens eksport til USA formindskes lige fra tekstiler til vigtige landbrugsprodukter som vin og ost.
(3) because of their exports to the USA, from textiles to important agricultural products, like wine and cheese, falling.
Når det er sagt, er vi også klar over, at denne stilling tagen kan føre til en forværring af situationen til skade for begge parters globale interesser.
Thus, on all counts, the measures announced are unjustified and unacceptable.
Jeg har allerede stillet et spørgsmål til Kommissionen om de foranstaltninger, den påtænker at træffe.
In this connection, I have already put a question to the Commission on the measures that it is considering taking.
Vi håber, samme ånd vil inspirere de ansvarlige i USA, som det var tilfældet med de kongresmedlemmer, der besøgte os fornylig.
But in affirming this we are fully conscious that this type of position can lead to a growing deterioration, to the detriment of global interests on both sides.
At fremsætte offentlige erklæringer for at tjene idenlandsk »marketing« er dømt til fiasko og tjener kun til at skabe et dårligt forhandlingsklima.
However, if that is what happens, it will not be the fault of the Community, especially as it is just reaffirming its will to begin negotiations with the United States according to the principles of the GATT.
Vi støtter beslutningslaget, navnlig dets punkt 4, hvor i man opfordrer USA til at opgive den bebudede aktion og acceptere en bilateral forhandling inden for rammerne af GATT, samt puntk 9, hvoriman kritiserer den anvendte praksis med at fremsætte offentlige trusler blot for at tilfredsstille visse pressionsgruppers interesser.
To sum up, we strongly support this compromise resolution, especially paragraph 4, which invites the USA to abandon the measures announced and accept bilateral discussions under the GATT; and paragraph 7 which criticizes the practice of public threats made by certain North American authorities, advanced out of arrogance and to satisfy the interests of pressuregroups.
Kort sagt: ja til forhandling om modstridende interesser, nej til at give afkald på legitime rettigheder.
We hope that an identical spirit will soon inspire the North American executive itself, as it already inspires the congressmen who recently visited us.
Campinos (S). — (PO) Hr. formand, de tragiske begi venheder i Middelhavet i denne uge har klart og bru talt vist, hvad starten på handelsforhandlingerne mel lem EF og USA viste for nogen tid siden: en voksende krise i forbindelsen mellem dem.
Mr Campinos (S). — (PT) Mr President, this week's tragic events in the Mediterranean have brutally demonstrated what the genesis of trade relations between the Community and the United States has already revealed for some time: the growing crisis in relations between the EEC and the United States.
Den socialistiske gruppe bifalder beslutningsforslaget.
In short, negotiate divergent interests, yes; abdicate our own rights, no!
Et begrundet håb, når man sammenligner det store omfang af handelsforbindelserne mellem Fællesskabet og dets største handelspartner med den minimale betydning af den aktuelle handelsstrid.
Nor can the attitude of the Com munity be otherwise : the policy of 'shoot first, talk later!' can only be answered by a policy of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", to use President Delors' own words.
Foranstaltningerne er overdrevne sammenlignet med den spinkle baggrund for den amerikanske klage. USA bekræfter, at det vil træffe foranstaltninger, som er i modstrid med GATT-bestemmelserne og med de mere elementære regler for international høflighed.
It is in this perspective that we should set the recent threat by the United States to impose restrictions on the import of certain Community agricultural prod ucts, on the pretext of the accession of Spain and Portugal.
Fontaine (PPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, de foranstaltninger, som De forenede Stater har er-
This is the latest example in a series of events revealing a deepening crisis, but one with a particularly disagreeable character, unreasonable and unjust to the new Member States and to the EEC itself.
Fontaine hvis deres eksport af korn til Spanien og Portugal begrænses som følge af de to iberiske landes indtræden i Fællesskabet.
Mr Tripodi (DR). — (IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we regard as counterproductive the com mercial retaliatory measures which the United States would like to take if its exports of cereals to Spain and Portugal are limited and reduced as a result of the accession of these two countries of the Iberian peninsula to the European Community.
Hvis vore allierede hinsides Atlanten gør dette, vil de i sidste ende ikke blot ramme de gode handelsforbin delser med EF-landene, men de ville også vise, at de glemmer de økonomiske fordele, som de høster af Fællesskabets udvidelse, fordele, der langt overstiger de økonomiske tab, som de klager over.
Should they carry out this threat, our transatlantic allies would not only end up by putting a severe dent in their good trade relations with the EEC but would show that they are forgetting the economic advantages that they themselves derive from the enlargement of the Community, advantages that vastly outweigh the losses to their economy about which they complain so bitterly.
klæret at ville træffe mod Fællesskabet som repressalier for den skade, som udvidelsen påstås at have påført landet, afføder legitim mangel på forståelse og indignation.
Mrs Fontaine (PPE). — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the measures the United States has said it wishes to take against the Community, in reprisal for the damage it claims to have suffered as a result of enlargement, call forth legitimate bafflement and indignation.
Ingen af de amerikanske bebrejdelser er begrundede.
None of the American charges is justified.
Fællesskabet har nu i månedsvis under rettet De forenede Stater om indholdet af udvidelsesaftalerne og foreslået at lade sagen behandle i GATT-arbejdsgruppen.
It was months ago that the Community notified the United States of the content of the enlargement agreements and proposed that they deal with them within the GATT working-party.
Det er endvidere længe siden, at Spanien indførte sin kvota- og afgiftsordning i for bindelse med majs- og sorghum importen.
It is also a long time since Spain began applying a system of quotas and levies on maize and sorghum imports.
Af hensyn til det ægte og dybe venskab, der knytter os til USA, håber vi europæiske højrepartier oprigtigt, at Reagan-regeringen uden tøven vil give afkald på de bebudede restriktive gengældelsesforanstaltninger. ger.
Because of our deep and genuine friendship for the United States, we of the European Right sincerely hope that the Reagan Administration will call off with out delay the restrictive and retaliatory measures of which it has warned.
At forlange at 15,5% af den portugisiske kornimport hidrører fra Fælles skabet, er det virkelig for meget?
Is it really too much to ask that 15.5% of Portuguese cereal imports should come from the Community?
Hvad angår realiteten i skaden, er den mere end omstridelig.
As to the actual reality of the loss, it is highly debatable.
I henhold til nogle beregninger skulle nedsættelsen af de i øjeblikket gældende meget høje toldafgifter, der praktiseres af Spanien og Portugal for industriprodukter, give De forenede Stater fem gange så store fordele, som ændringen af reglerne for landbrugsprodukterne vil skade.
According to certain calculations, the lowering of customs duties, at present very high, that are applied by Spain and Portugal to industrial products would benefit the US five times more than any harm done to them by changing the rules of the game in agriculture.
Det hvide Hus kan ikke undgå at gøre sig klart, at de tilmed ville indtræffe i en periode, da solidariteten, harminien og enigheden inden for Atlantpagten uundgåeligt ville lide under dem, hvad der ville ind virke negativt på de allerede ømtålelige begivenheder i middelhavsområdet og på de politiske forpligtelser, som fællesskabslandene, og især de sydlige, har pligt til at honorere.
The White House cannot fail to realize, moreover, that these measures would come at a time when the solidarity, harmony and peace prevailing within the Atlantic Alliance could not but be shaken by them and that they would end up by having a very deleterious effect on the already delicate situation in the Mediterranean basin and on the political obligations which the Community's Member States, especially the southern states, are duty bound to honour.
Bonaccini (COM). — (IT) Hr. formand, det forekom mer mig, at fru Fontaine med stor præcision har behandlet de saglige og formelle spørgsmål, som gør, at vi i det væsentlige kan afvise den amerikanske regerings holdning.
Mr Bonaccini (COM). — (IT) Mr President, I feel that Mrs Fontaine has set out very clearly and fairly the formal arguments for broadly rejecting the attitude of the US Government.
Vi underkender ikke amerikansk landbrugs vanske ligheder.
We fully appreciate the difficulties of American agri culture.
Vi kender kun alt for godt til den europæiske landbrugsbefolknings vanskeligheder ti ikke at have forståelse derfor.
We are too well aware of those faced by the European farmers not to be sympathetic.
Men vi beklager, at de foran staltninger, hvormed De forenede Stater truer os, udelukkende udspringer af interne betragtninger.
But we are bound to regret that the measures with which the US is threatening us are based on purely domestic considerations.
Li geledes frygter vi, at Fællesskabets hidtidige mangel på fasthed, f.eks. de iagttagne omsving i den nylige pasta-sag, kun kan have opmuntret De forenede Stater til at anvende pressionsmidler.
We also fear that a certain lack of firmness on the part of the Community in the past, such as, for example, the sudden changes of position in the recent matter of pasta products, has encouraged the US to use forms of pressure of this kind.
I sådanne tilfælde er konstans og ensartethed i fællesskabsinstansernes holdning vigtigere end noget andet.
Nothing is more important in such cases than consistent and unified attitudes on the part of the various Community institutions. tions.
Ingen løsning må udelukkes på forhånd, men der er to betingelser.
No possible solution should be rejected out of hand, though I would make two provisos.
For det første skal der inden for Fællesskabet gennemføres den bredest mulige samrådsprocedure, så ingen når Fællesskabets holdning er fastlagt, kan drage deni tvivl.
First, there must be the broadest possible consultations within the Com munity so that once a Community position has been adopted, it cannot be called into question.
For det andet skal man undgå at udløse en ruinerende handelskrig, som systematisk vil straffe alle parters eksport.
Second, that we avoid starting a ruinous trade war that would systematically penalize the exports of both sides.
Episoder som denne understreger, hvis det skulle være nødvendigt, vigtigheden af de landbrugsforhandlinger, der skal til at tage deres begyndelse i GATT.
All of this underlines the obvious importance of agricultural negotiations which must be opened within GATT.
Jeg skal derfor kun beskæftige mig med de spørgsmål, der har at gøre med den politiske handlemåde, for at pege på inkonsekvenser i forhold til den samarbejdslinie på de forskellige områder, men især på det økonomiske, som hr. Delors så virkningsfuldt belyste for os i går, og som også må fremhæves på andre områder.
I shall therfore confine myself to some reflections on the way in which US policy is conducted and would point out that it is inconsistent with the broad principle of cooperation in various fields, but particularly in the economic field, outlined so eloquently yesterday by the President of the Commission, Mr Delors, and also referred to in other quarters.
Derfor forsvarer vi naturligvis de krænkede interesser, men vi forsvarer også en måde, hvorpå man kan anbringe de internationale forbindelser på et plan af loyalitet og et plan af konsekvens over for princip per, som man gang på gang har viftet med, men som siden systematisk er blevet skuffet.
I would also stress that once again there was no question here of cooperation but of being presented with faits accomplis, because these tariff and customs provisions of which we are speaking have already been enacted.
Det var, kære kolleger, de tre ønsker, som denne sag tilskynder os til.
Their implementation has been deferred for a while, but they have been enacted.
Tripodi (DR). — (IT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, vi finder det meningsløst, at USA truer med at iværksætte handelsmæssige gengældelsesforanstaltninger,
We do indeed defend the interests which have been offended, but we also back the idea of putting interna-
Hvilken betydning har så vor stillingtagen? Sikkekt som protest mod en handlemåde af den art og samtidig som opfordring og pression over for den amerikanske regering, for at den skal gøre sig klart, at Europa ikke agter at skade den, men kun at besvare handlemåder, der må betragtes som krænkende.
We trust that the Commission will bear this in mind in its project to reshape the CAP with special reference to the exports system, and that it will embark on con sultations with Parliament and the other Community institutions so that the Community may present a strong and united front in these negotiations.
Lad derfor blot gengældelsesforanstaltningerne kom me, men lad dem komme — og det ville være godt, om Kommissionen lod os vide, hvilken virkning de tidligere gengældelsesforanstaltninger har haft — som en ledsagende foranstaltning i den hensigt at løse en yderst pinlig strid.
If these retaliatory measures are taken — and it would be a good thing if the Commission were to tell us what effect previous retaliatory measures have had — then let them be taken side by side with genuine endeavours to resolve an extremely distressing dispute.
Den går ikke.
That will not do.
Desuden har EF end og givet udtryk for, at det i høj grad har forståelse for USAs vanskeligheder som følge af tiltrædelsen, hvilket fremgår af nedsættelsen af en speciel GATT-arbejdsgruppe og indbydelsen til USAs myndigheder til at deltage i drøftelser.
Moreover, the EEC has made it clear that it well understands the disadvantages with which the US is faced as a result of the accession — for example, by the establishment of a special GATT working-party and the invitation to the US authorities to take part in consultations.
