Kommissionen, der i øjeblikket er samlet til møde, vil undersøge de praktiske udvirkninger af de amerikanske forholdsregler og vil hurtigst muligt fremsætte et forslag til Rådet derom.
We, as a Parlia­ment, do not want to get into a similar messy situation as with PAL and CECAM, with France seeking to protest its national market once again through the adoption of a national standard.
Til trods for denne skuffende udvikling er Kommissionen overbevist om, at en forhandling på grundlag af GATT-reglerne er den eneste fornuftige vej til løsning af de forskellige tvistigheder.
Does the Commission consider that all the variants of the MAC family of standards for DBS transmission are covered by the draft directive, and are compatible among them­selves?
Formanden. — Hr. kommissær, Parlamentet er Dem taknemlig for den redegørelse, De har fremsat, og for de oplysninger, som vi har modtaget fra Dem.
To what extent are the possible variants of the MAC family capable of being upgraded towards full HDTV standards (higher defini­tion)?
Endvidere har De forenede Stater bekendtgjort en ændring af deres told på en række andre varer som reaktion på indførelsen i Spanien af variable fællesskabsafgifter på importen af foderkorn.
The second purpose of the draft directive is to protect the European consumer electronics industry from its Japanese competitors. It is, let us be clear about it, a clear­cut protectionist device.
De varer, der rammes af den førstnævnte amerikanske forholdsregel vedrørende Portugal, er: chokolade, bolsjer, æble- og pæresaft, øl og hvidvin til en værdi af over 4 $ pr. gallon.
Unfortunately, how­ever, it may well be that Europe has already lost the battle to the Japanese before it has even started.
For disse varers vedkommende er der indført kvantitative restriktioner; de amerikanske myndigheder påstår, at de er ikke-restriktive.
Mr De Vries (LDR). — A few months ago, Mr Presi­dent, the Commission put forward a draft directive which is of great importance to the future of broad­casting in Europe.
Kvotaerne skulle ifølge amerikanerne være fastsat til 120% af de i 1985 eksporterede mængder med undtagelse af hvidvin, hvor kvotaen skulle ligge på 140%.
The directive aims at the adoption of one common technical standard for direct satellite broadcasting.
Dette var en redegørelse i henhold til forretningsordenens artikel 40.
This week, the International Consultative Radio Com­mittee meets in Dubrovnik to discuss a Japanese pro­posal for a world standard for high­definition televi­sion.
Det hedder deri, at medmindre Parlamentet beslutter andet, vil en sådan redegørelse ikke blive efterfulgt af en forhandling.
If, as seems likely, no agreement about this standard will be reached, the Japanese will still go ahead with their system — the NHK news system.
Men medlem merne kan inden for en periode på i alt 30 minutter stille korte spørgsmål »til belysning af særlige punkter i redegørelsen«.
As a matter of fact, the Japanese have already licensed this system in Europe on highly favourable terms to a British firm, Quantel, and to a French firm, Captain Video.
Hvis der er nogen, der ønsker at få noget belyst, har vedkommende nu lejlighed til det.
They even presented their system at the Tokyo World Summit two weeks ago.
Hindley (S). — (EN) hr. formand, jeg ved, at det er et spørgsmål, der skal forhandles, men må jeg anmode kommissæren om at tilkendegive, hvilke former for produkter og eksportartikler det er, De forenede Stater tænker på, når det drejer sig om gengældelsesaktioner? tioner?
Agreement or no agreement, the Japanese are ahead of Philips, Thom­son, EMI and Bosch, not only technically but even more so in terms of marketing.
Disse tal samt gennemførelsesbestemmelserne for kvotaerne skal selvfølgelig kontrolleres.
Before Parliament can adopt its opinion on this direc­tive, there are several points which still need to be cleared up.
Indtil da skulle der derfor ikke ske ændringer i De forenede Staters bestemmelser om import af de på gældende varer.
The Commission may wish to use this debate today and, let us say, two weeks to come to provide clarity on two points in particular.
Disse varer er skinke, visse ostetyper, julesalat, gulerødder, olivenolie, andre hvidvine end dem, der omfattes af den første foranstaltning, brandy, likører, gin og humle.
It is not yet clear whether all the variants of the MAC family of standards for direct broadcasting transmission are cov­ered by the draft directive and are compatible among themselves.
Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg beklager den af De forenede Staters præsident trufne beslutning.
It is not yet evident, either, that the directive in its present form provides for an adequate European res­ponse to the Japanese challenge.
Den inddrager os i en unødvendig optrapningsproces, som Fællesskabet ikke har udløst.
I would therefore like to invite the Commission to report to Parliament on the outcome of the Dubrovnik meeting.
Der er ikke nogen nøjagtig ækvivalent på engelsk for den vending.
Let me briefly illustrate these points.
Kommissæren nævnte også, at der i De forenede Stater vil blive indført restriktioner for importen af hvidvin. Omfatter det også restriktioner for importen af champagne?
The draft direc­tive seeks to serve two purposes: one laudable, the other perhaps a little less noble.
86 sionens opgave i forbindelse med De forenede Staters ensidige foranstaltninger at indlede en procedure i G ATT-instanserne ?
De Vries party of the International Consultative Committee on Broadcasting.
Pranchère (COM). — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne stille i hvert fald to spørgsmål til kommissæren. For det første: Mener kommissæren, at de af Kommissionen påtænkte foranstaltninger, dersom den amerikanske regering skulle gennemføre sine trusler, reelt og i betydelig grad vil ramme importen af majsgluten?
If the Commission agrees to provide this additional information, there are three points I would like it to focus on.
Det er nemlig en import, der er steget stærkt, og som efter mine oplysninger ikke henhører under GATT-aftalerne.
In other words, how long will it take the European consumer electronics industry to become fully competitive with the Japanese, taking into account that we are in a vulnerable position as to certain components, mainly chips?
Tzounis (PPE). — (GR) Kunne kommissæren ikke oplyse os om, hvor meget skaden vil beløbe sig til for den europæiske eksport til De forenede Stater efter de importbegrænsninger, som dette land agter at iværksætte? sætte?
All indications are, first of all, that the three standards of the MAC/variants family are described adequately. Then it appears from the records that the three stan dards are compatible among themselves.
Andet spørgsmål vedrører fedtstofferne, specielt de vegetabilske som amerikansk soja, der giver mulig hed for fremstilling af 6 mio tons efterligninger af mælk, yoghurt og ost.
The Commission will study this EBU document and if the three points I have just made are confirmed, the Commission will propose the EBU specification as sole reference in the directive.
Habsburg (PPE). — (DE) Hr. kommissær, jeg har lagt mærke til, at de amerikanske foranstaltninger udelukkende vedrører hvidvin.
Secondly, only very recently a technical committee of the European Broadcasting Union came out in favour of the Japanese standards.
Hvis man ser nærme re på vinmarkedet i De forenede Stater, kan man ikke undgå at få den mistanke, at det drejer sig om en foranstaltning, der overhovedet ikke har noget at gøre med det her drøftede spørgsmål.
It looks as though EBU's left hand does not know what its right hand has been doing, for a little earlier the EBU was said to support the C-MAC standard.
For rødvins ved kommende er amerikanerne kommet på højde med os i kvantitativ henseende. Her er der ingen fare.
Now that the EBU is split on this crucial issue, the draft directive can no longer simply refer to EBU definitions.
Californisk rødvin kan godt sælges i dag.
This point must be cleared up before Parliament can give its opinion.
Men hvidvinen er stadig så dårlig, at forbrugerne, når de til samme priser får lov at vælge, tager den europæiske hvidvin. Jeg vil derfor gerne anmode om, at man undersøger, om der ikke står helt andre motiver bag end de angivne.
It is all the more important as Italy's RAI is said to favour the Japanese proposal too, be it for a rather mundane reason — that is to say, to obstruct Mr Berlusconi, who has said he is in favour of MAC.
Dame Shelagh Roberts (ED). - (EN) Hr. formand, kommissær De Clercq skal deltage i mødet i udvalget om eksterne økonomiske forbindelser på tirsdag.
As regards the other points, I would say that the Com mission will also examine any decisions taken in the plenary session of the International Consultative Com mittee on Broadcasting being held in Dubrovnik, and it will examine any need to review its draft directive.
Jeg vil gerne udtrykke det håb, at dette seriøse omslag i begivenhedernes gang, der uden tvivl vil lægge yder ligere pres på hans tid, ikke vil forhindre ham i at deltage i vort udvalgsmøde, så han kan give os et ajourført billede af situationen og lejlighed til drøftelser under måske mere uformelle omstændigheder.
The Commission intends to proceed with this examination as soon as documents and information are available.
Må jeg også bede kommissæren om et tilsagn om, at uanset hvilke gengældelsesforanstaltninger Kommissionen foreslår, vil de være i overensstemmelse med GATT, da jeg ikke fror, at man gør en uret god igen ved at begå en ny.
It will also, as soon as possible, give detailed information to the relevant committee of this House of the decisions it is likely to take.
Er der en årsags/virknings-forbindelse, eller mener De, at de to ting skal skilles helt fra hinanden?
It concerns the position of the European film industry.
de Vries (LDR). — (NL) Hr. formand, allerførst min tak til kommissæren for hans beredvillighed til at for lade Kommissionens møde og bringe Parlamentet à jour.
Should Europe go for a standard which is incompatible with the standards adopted by the Japanese and the Americans? As you know, CBS has already opted for the Japanese proposal.
Det er en gestus af élégance, som jeg sætter pris på.
Will this not harm the European audio-visual industry?
Det er også en gestus, der understreger Parlamentets interesse i en meningsudveksling om disse ting.
Will it not push costs up in a sector which already now finds it difficult to compete with cheap American imports?
Betyder denne overordentlig beklagelige udvikling, at GATT-runden nu er blevet sans objet, når det drejer sig om landbruget?
I was interested in the points made by the rapporteur, but as this issue goes beyond the bounds and the strict aim of the draft directive, we are not called upon, at least for the time being, to adopt a more specific stance on this.
Betyder det, at Kommissionen overvejer at anbefale medlemsstaterne ikke længere at tale med De forenede Stater om dette emne?
Answers to these questions, Mr President and Mr Commissioner, will be of decesive importance, I think, for the position the European Parliament will have to adopt.
Eller betyder det bare, at der nu skal rettes en ekstra appel til enhver om fuldt ud at benyt te de eksisterende GATT-mekanismer, for at det kan føre til, at de amerikanske foranstaltninger for dømmes af GATT?
Today we do not take a position of principle. Today, we only speak about procedures and ask you to provide us with additional clarification.
Hvilken strategi tænker Kom missionen sig at følge med hensyn til GATT?
The sooner the Commission can provide this additional information, the better.
Lafuente López (ED). — (ES) Jeg vil gerne takke kommissæren for hans tilstedeværelse og oprigtighed og gøre ham opmærksom på, at der findes et udvalg for forbindelserne med De forenede Stater.
President. — Ladies and gentlemen, I have received from Mr De Vries and others, on behalf of the Com mittee on Ecconomic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, a motion for a resolution (Doc.

Og har Amerika ikke en interesse i et stærkt Europas?

Kan vi derfor ikke påpege dette klart over for USA og bede dem om at trække deres foreslåede foranstaltninger tilbage for at undgå, at vi er nødt til at træffe modforanstaltninger? ger?
In other words, that the Parliament should obtain as soon as possible the technical specifications recently laid down by the EBU.
Mallet (PPE). - (FR) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne spørge hr. De Clercq, om der ikke er et helt nyt moment i De forenede Staters holdning til Fællesskabet.
Nevertheless, I agree that the Council should be asked not to take a decision on 10 June, but rather to wait for an opinion from Parliament.
Så vidt mig bekendt indeholder GATT-reglerne undtagelser fra ikke-diskrimineringsregelen, når der er tale om oprettelse af en toldunion.
Parliament, as well as the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, should try in July to proceed to a vote on the directive in Parliament, so that no further delays occur and the chances of the development of different standards on the European market remain as slim as possible.
Maher (LDR). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg takker også kommissæren for hans oplysninger, der er yderst in teressante, men selvfølgelig meget foruroligende.
In the first place the importance attached to the com pletion of the internal market in the present proposal, and the present situation of television systems emphasizes this importance.
Kan han give nogle tilkendegivelser for øjeblikket — og jeg ved det er vanskeligt — af de finansielle virkninger for Det europæiske Fællesskabs budget af et så dant skridt fra USAs side.
France and Germany have differ ent systems, PAL and SECAM; we must see to it — and in this I am wholeheartedly in agreement with Mr De Vries's remarks — that this is developed in a some what similar way before direct satellite television broadcasting begins.
Har vi for det andet ikke en vis fleksibilitet på vor side, navnlig i forbindelse med dyrefoder, særlig in den for proteinsektoren?
I think we should realize, when we request the adoption of a draft directive, we thereby increase the chances of divergent development of different standards within Europe.
Kunne vi ikke selv inden for GATT benytte dette som en gengældelse?
This I say in anticipation of the present motion for a resolution.
I forbindelse med de tidligere udvidelser fandt der, ligesom det bør være tilfældet denne gang, normale forhandlinger sted i GATT for at undersøge konsekvenserne og eventuelle ændringer, og alt dette burde foregå ganske roligt.
Because some European countries adopted the PAL system and others the SECAM sys tem, it meant that a television manufactured in France could not be sold in Cologne, and vice versa, a television that was manufactured in Germany could not be used in Strasbourg.
Condesso (LDR). — (PT) Hr. formand, jeg hørte redegørelsen fra Kommissionen og blev chokeret over principperne, dvs den fremgangsmåde, der er brugt af USA og navnlig den bevidste overdrivelse af sagen og de trufne foranstaltninger.
These arguments should be strong enough to convince us of the importance of not making the same mistake and fall ing back into the age-old division of Europe when it comes to developing the next generation of television sets for satellite television.
Mit spørgsmål er følgende: Har De vurderet udvidelsens samlede udvirkninger for samhandelen?
A second aspect is that of manufacturers. Mr De Vries has already mentioned this.
Efter de foreliggende oplysninger ser det ud til, at den globale indflydelse på samhandelsstrømmene med De forenede Stater skulle være yderst positiv for De for enede Stater.
I think it is necessary that a standard should be developed in Europe, which also corresponds to European developments.
Hvad principperne angår, hvad har man da aftaler til, og hvorfor bliver mekanismer til afværgelse af konflikter ikke anvendt?
I myself am for the time being convinced that the proposal from the European Commission fulfils this purpose because European industry itself makes this claim.
USA har jo så mange gange før og i forhold til andre lande og på andre felter frem hævet værdien af aftaler.
I do not think that the Japanese HDTV proposal, as proposed in Dubrovnik, fulfils the conditions.
Europa kan ikke acceptere at blive gjort til et redskab for løsning af USA's interne problemer.
The acceptance of the Japanese proposal in its present form would put European manufacturers at a disadvantage in develop ment and this is not acceptable.
Marshall (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, dagen i dag er en trist dag for hele den frie verden.
We must try to ensure that European production keeps its head above water in this area.
Mener kommissæren ikke, at disse begivenheder understreger det meningsløse i konkurrencepræget subventionering og understreger behovet for en reform af landbrugspolitikken på begge sider af Atlanten?
There is a need for Community HDTV-standards, which take into account the circumstances on the different world markets.
Kan man sætte tal på følgerne af USA's holdning?
This means that we must have an HDTV-standard, but in practice this does not have to be the Japanese one.
Eller undersøger Kommissionen modforanstaltninger, som kun skal træffes, hvis USA ikke reviderer sin stilling tagen?
The proposal made by the European Commission for a MAC family of standards for the whole of Europe is without doubt a step forward.
Forfægter Kommissionen det princip, at det er inden for rammerne af FATT, at problemet skal løses, og at det er inden for disse rammer, USA skal tage sin stilling op til fornyet overvejelse, så en definitiv løsning på problemet opnås?
I think it is also a step forward that the Commission in this connection is using a referral procedure for technical standards, and I mean by that that the Commission is no longer trying as a body to resolve a wealth of technical details, as it did on all occasions in the past, but it is leaving this to bodies which have more experience in such matters and which have more flexible means at their disposal than those available to a State administration.
For det første er jeg enig med hr. Seligman og hr. Habsburg i, at der synes at ligge andre motiver bag end dem, der formelt er anført.
As far as the con sumer is concerned a standard will have to be adopted which facilitates the development of HDTV.
Amerikanerne bruger klart dette for at tilfredsstille deres landmænd og for at tilfredsstille visse erhvervs interesser.
It is also important to have a standard which corresponds to the present situation in Europe, so that enormous conversion costs do not ensue.
Vil den denne gang tale om en fælles aktion sammen med Japan mod De forenede Stater?
Furthermore, I think that the Japanese HDTV proposal does not satisfy this requirement.
For det andet er det klart, at der for øjeblikket er en række ting, som amerikanerne navnlig gerne vil have fra Europa.
I should like to finish by drawing a few conclusions from Mr De Vries's resolution.
En af disse er at stjæle dets teknologi og dets faglærte arbejdskraft til brug for det strategiske forsvarsinitiativ-program.
First, I should like to point out what he stands to gain from the desired reform — at least that is the way it is in the Dutch text — of the European Commission directive.
Påtænker Kommissionen at bede medlemsstaterne om igen at overveje deres deltagelse i det som et af de mulige svar på denne
I should like to stress that in the original English text there was the word review and this is less extreme than the
Møller (ED). — Også jeg takker kommissær De Clercq for den redegørelse, vi har fået om dette ulykkelige skridt, som er taget af USA.
However, we remain somewhat in doubt and we are not convinced that the goal of a really common European standard has been reached.
Jeg tror, at vi alle beklager det og har svært ved at forstå det — men det er i og for sig ligegyldigt, om vi forstår det eller ikke.
Commissioner Mosar spoke of three variants which are currently under dis cussion and which, according to the information at hand, are compatible with each other. But what do we mean by compatible with each other?
Nu vil man fra Kommissionens side henvise til, at man skal følge GATT-reglerne, men jeg ville være
In the last ana lysis, PAL and SECAM are also compatible with each other if the required technical equipment is built which, in some circumstances, is very expensive.

Det var rart at vide, hvad det er, vi beder amerika nerne om at opfylde inden for den aftale, vi har i fællesskab om frigørelse fra handelsrestriktioner vore lande immellem.
The Community has done all in its power to avoid confrontation and to convince its American partners that unilateral measures are harmful.
Man skal holde hovedet koldt.
I call the Commissioner.
Prag (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, kommissær De Clercq kender min særlige vælgermæssige interesse i dette spørgsmål, da jeg allerede har henvendt mig til ham vedrørende spørgsmålet om den pastaafgift, der blev indført den 1. november af De forenede Stater som en gengældelsesforanstaltning.
Our voices have not been listenend to. As I repeated each time we met our American partners and as the Council confirmed in its declaration of 21 April 1986, the Community had no choice other than to respond in like manner.
Kan han sige mig, om de gengældelsesforanstaltninger fra den 1. november nu er indeholdt i de nye foranstaltninger, og kan han sige noget nærmere om disse foranstaltningers sandsynlige varighed?
The Commission, meeting at this very moment, will examine the practical effect of the American measures and will submit a proposal to Council as soon as possible. Despite this disappointing develop ment the Commission remains convinced that negotia-
Wedekind (PPE). — (DE) Hr. kommissær, mener De ikke, at når et land træffer foranstaltninger, er det en forkert reaktion at træffe modforanstatninger i form af en kvasi-krig og dermed blot forværre det hele for begge parter?
President. — Mr Commissioner, the House is grateful to you for the statement you have just made and for the information you have just given us.
Mener kommissæren ikke, at det er meget fornuftigere at reagere fleksibelt på grund af den omstændighed, at amerikanerne har et overordentligt stort underskud på handelsbalancen og de løbende poster over for Fællesskabet?
I would like to express the hope that this serious turn of events, which will undoubtedly put further pressures on his time, will not preclude his attendance at our committee so that he can give us an up-to-date picture of the position and an opportunity for discus sions in perhaps more informal circumstances.
Bør vi ikke tværtimod imødekomme amerikanerne for at vise, hvor vigtig den fri verdenshandel er — for os og for dem?
May I also ask the Commissioner for an assurance that what ever retaliatory measures the Commission is propos ing, it will keep them within the terms of GATT, since I do not believe that two wrongs ever make a right.
Dvs. ikke indføre nogen modforanstaltninger, men tværtimod vise, at vi har endnu flere markeder.
Unless Parliament decides otherwise, such a state ment shall not be followed by a debate.
Anser De ikke det for fornuftigere end at begynde en krig?
Member may, however, avail themselves of a period of thirty minutes in which to put brief and concise questions with a view to clarifying specific points in such statements.
