Vernimmen (S). — (NL) Hr. formand, ærede kolleger, det spørgsmål, der her drøftes, er, under hvilke betingelser multifiberarrangementet bør forlænges.
The Commission itself explicitly acknowleged this when it said in its communication to the Council of 27 June 1985 that an immediate return to GATT rules would be disastrous.
Dette er en lejlighed, hvor vi må have den fulde bevidsthed om vort store ansvar for vor egen tekstil- og beklædningsindustri, som allerede i mange år har måttet kæmpe med alvorlige vanskeligheder.
Should the MFA be made more liberal, as the Commission already proposes? But doesn't the balance of trade which has resulted from the MFA in recent years already prove that the MFA has become more liberal?
Jeg ønsker at sige til kommissionsmedlem hr. De Clercq, at det står helt klart for os alle, at MFA skal lægges på GATTs forhandlingsbord.
The MFA was never meant to stop textile imports in the name of protectionism and in violation of the liberalization rules set up by GATT.
Det er ganske latterligt, og det ville være forkert af Fællesskabet at gå ind på USAs holdning, nemlig at meddele udviklingslandene, at vi ønsker, de skal åbne deres markeder for vore ydelser samtidig med, at vi vil lukke vore markeder for det eneste, de kan producere til konkurrencedygtige priser!
Let us not forget that the MFA was concluded within GATT, and what are called the "reasonable margins" were in fact negotiated with GATT approval. The MFA is based on a simple fact: anarchic growth in the Community' textile imports was no longer acceptable, all the more so given stagnating consumption.
I denne drøftelse bør såvel en liberal som en protektionistisk holdning undgås.
Should we, in order not to sin against the Bible of Free-Exchangism, shut down the Community's textile mills?
Det gælder om at sejle mellem disse to lige farlige skær og nå frem til en tredje vej, nemlig et sundt forhold imellem en sikring af beskæftigelsen i Fællesskabet og reelle udviklingsmuligheder for de virkelige udviklingslande.
Should we make every European consumer go around wearing three shirts and two pairs of trousers in order to absorb massive imports? Should we sacrifice hundreds of thousands of jobs and destroy the economic fabric of entire regions within a Community which is already experiencing a crisis, and where restructuring is a risky business?
Jeg var ked af at se, at nogle medlemmer har stillet ændringsforslag til fjernelse af punkt 16 i hr. Nordmanns betænkning med henblik på at undtage børnetøj fra MFA.
Thus, in addition to the exchange advantages, they acquire potential for industrial development in a sector which may provide the impetus for general economic and social development in these countries.
Her i Parlamentet hører vi en masse om krokodilletårer over fattigdom; men jeg finder, at folk, som stiller ændringsforslag, som faktisk og bevidst vil øge prisen for et nødvendigt for brugsgode for fattige familier, sandelig bør være me get omhyggelige, for jeg vil huske deres navne, og hver gang de udtrykker bekymring over fattigdom men, vil jeg påpege det !
The second group to derive great benefit from the penetration of Com munity markets by multifibres from the developing countries are the Member States which have a high level of economic and technological development and which import cheap products as repayment of Third World loans and promote the liberalization of interna tional trade in goods and services which suit their own economic strategies.
Ingen her i aften har foreslået, at MFA ikke skal fornyes, og det er desværre, fordi beskyttelse kan sidestilles med narkotikamisbrug, og man kan ikke tage narkotika fra misbrugeren fra den ene dag til den
During the MFA II period the Community managed to stabilize at 3.5% the annual growth in its imports from countries covered by textile policy, but this growth rate shot up to 10% in 1984, while consumption barely grew by 1% a year.
Følgelig bør der generelt set vedtages en forlængelse af multifiberarrangementet, og der bør indgå to grundlæggende overvejelser i dette: et fornyet multifiberarrangement bør indeholde en sikring af beskæftigelsen, for det drejer sig her om en sektor, som stadig beskæftiger overordentlig mange mennesker, og hvor fremtiden ikke ser alt for rosenrød ud.
In my country, for example, 40% of the textile and clothing sector — a sector which represents 36% of Greek exports of industrial products — has been included in the provisions of the law on firms in difficulty. culty.
Vernimmen sul, hvormed visse eksportmuligheder kan begrænses, de såkaldte cut backs.
It is in particular the state-trading countries which are heavily engaged in this as well and are stepping up their exports to the European Com munity.
Kommissionen foreslår end videre en større differentiering mellem de eksporterende lande, og navnlig en særlig gunstig behandling af de mindst udviklede lande.
A positive point in the Nordmann report is that it mentions the need to safeguard the interests of the Community textile and clothing sector and of those who work in it.
Desuden ville Kom missionen sætte pris på, om MFAs funktion, nemlig fremme af udviklingslandenes økonomiske og sociale udvikling, blev anerkendt på mere eksplicit måde.
However, I think that the rapporteur should accept those amendments which seek to ensure a viable economic future for the Community textile and clothing industry.
For det andet, og dermed slutter jeg, bør der gøres en forskel på ægte udviklingslande og lande, der producerer og eksporterer med europæisk teknologi og kapital, og for hvem alene de lave lønomkostninger har betydning.
Mr Brok (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Nordmann. He has presented a report on behalf of his committee which, while not meeting with my approval in everything it says, is — in my opinion — a balanced document in many fields.
Her bør først og fremmest lægges vægt på en social klausul.
We must also realize, however, that the European Community is not a closed market in the textile sector.
Jeg tror for øvrigt også, når jeg læser Kommissionens standpunkt, at det er en af grundene til deres omhu, og jeg håber også, at den vil kunne bringe et multifiberarrangement i stand under gode betingelser.
Without a multilateral agreement the pressure on the market of the Twelve from the newly industrialized and state-trading countries in particular will increase, and, I believe, we will stand up to this pressure in an appropriate manner.
De Clercq, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Først og fremmest vil jeg gerne takke Dem for den effektive måde, hvorpå De førte forsædet over denne vigtige forhandling, og jeg vil også gerne takke alle dem, som har taget ordet i denne forhandling.
Both inside and outside the Community subsidies which distort competition are an obstacle to really sen sible measures to restructure the European textile industry and restore its competitiveness. In order to return to fair competition inside the Community, individual Member States' subsidy practices must be stopped, so that the market can at least be put right inside the Community.
(FR) Jeg vil også gerne takke hr. Nordmann for hans udmærkede og velbegrundede betænkning...
Mr Welsh (ED). — Mr President, we have certainly heard the whole gamut of protectionists' special inter ests tonight.
Det er blevet foreslået, at man erstatter en række af de eksisterende aftaler med aftaler i en enklere form, f.eks. i form af brevveksling.
However, in my view such renegotiation should, of course, aim at achieving a result with a specific duration, although we cannot, of course, decide today that this is to be the last of its kind, because, naturally, we have to see how restructuring is progressing in order to be able to make the right decision in four or five years' time.
Kommissionen mener også, at man må kunne reducere antallet af kvantitative begrænsninger.
As we have heard stressed several times already, the Community of Ten has lost so many of its 4.2 million jobs in this sector over the past 12 years that now only 1.8 million are left, while in the Com munity of Twelve, incorporating Spain and Portugal, only 3.2 million people now work in the textile indus try.
Desuden har Kommissionen foreslået, at stigningen i kontingenterne og de øvrige betingelser i aftalerne differentieres i højere grad, end det nu er tilfældet, afhængig af hvilken type land det er, som eksporterer tekstilprodukterne.
Although this is more than in the automobile, shipbuilding and steel industries put together, relatively little is said about it because the textile industry mainly consists of small and mediumsized firms, and simply does not have any magnates backed by a powerful lobby.
Desuden har Kommissionen foreslået, at man i systemet indfører en vis grad af automatiske overførsler, transfers, fra ikke-anvendte kontingenter mellem de forskellige re gioner indbyrdes.
That is why the necessary clout is missing. There are many people here who put on a big show of being free-traders but very quickly collapse when certain large companies turn up and demand subsidies; yet when we are dealing with small or mediumsized firms in the textile or clothing industry, they start trumpeting about free trade!
Dette er, som fru Van Rooy med rette bemærkede, et vigtigt skridt i retning af et samlet fællesmarked.
We should be guided by jobs, not by the size of individual firms.
Det foreslås desuden at foretage en række ændringer i klassifikationssystemet og en række andre administrative forbedringer for at gøre aftalerne mere effektive.
What is more, it is high time we started distinguishing between newly industrialized and developing countries; 75% to 80% of imports from all developing countries come from the newly industrialized states.
(NL) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, i det store og hele er Kommissionen enig i de standpunkter, der er fremsat i forslaget til beslutning af Nordmann.
I was distressed, Mr President, to hear the speech of my Lancashire colleague, Mr Michael Hindley.
Ministerrådet godkendte allerede i juli måned sidste år Kommissionens henstillinger vedrørende retningslinjer for EØFs handelspolitik på tekstilområdet.
Mr Hindley should know that a report by the Lancashire County Council Planning Department has shown con clusively that the Lancashire textile and clothing industry is in a very good state and is competing well in the markets of the world.
Kommissionen konstaterer nu med tilfredshed, at dens forslag ligeledes kan godkendes af udvalget om eksterne økonomiske forbindelser, og den håber, at dette standpunkt nu også vil blive accepteret af plenarforsamlingen. narforsamlingen.
Mr Hindley should remember that it was the Lancashire textile workers who refused in the 1930s to take
Lad mig slutte her, hr. formand.
Debates of the European Parliament
Der er stadig visse anliggender, alvor lige anliggender, der skal drøftes, f.eks. den generelle adgang for konkurrencefølsomme produkter.
(Laughter and applause) action that would in any way inhibit the development of the fledgeling textile industry of India.
Nogle af medlemsstaterne, navnlig Spanien og Portugal, frem sætter stadig indvendinger.
Indeed, they gave a warm welcome to Mr Ghandi when he visited them.
På trods af alt dette me ner Kommissionen, at drøftelserne om retningslinjer for forhandlingerne inden for tekstilsektoren går i den rigtige retning.
Mr Hindley tonight has not spoken for the people of Lancashire.
Det er den retning, Kommissionen har foreslået, og som vi med tilfredshed kan konstatere i store linjer følges af forslaget til beslutning af Nord mann.
Mr Nordmann (L), rapporteur. — (FR) A point of order, Mr President. I would like to congratulate the interpreters who succeeded in following Mr Welsh.
Jeg vil endnu en gang gerne takke ham der for.
President. — That was a doubtful point of order, Mr Nordmann!
Kommissionen er i det store og hele enig i den bekymring, der gives udtryk for i forslaget til beslutning.
Portugal, of all the countries in the Community, has absolutely nothing to fear from lowcost competition in textiles.
Den har taget hensyn til disse forhold under udarbejdelsen af de seneste henstillinger til Rådet vedrørende de detaljerede retningslinjer for handlinger om en forlængelse af multifiberarrangementet og af de bilaterale aftaler.
They should beware, because if they give way to the arguments of Seal and Hindley and people of that ilk, precisely the same arguments will be deployed against Portugal when they seek to sell their own-low-cost production in the rest of the Community.
Disse aftaler, er, som De ved, nu til behandling i Rådet, og selv om man allerede er nået langt med dette anliggende under Rådets samling den 18. februar i år, er der stadig mange ting, der skal undersøges.
Mr Vernimmen (S). — (NL) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the issue today is whether, and if so under what conditions, the Multifibre Arrangement should be renewed.
Som jeg allerede sagde : en endelig beslutning skal træffes den 10. eller 11. marts i år. Denne debat kommer altså lige i rette øjeblik.
In discussing this matter, we must be fully aware of our great responsibility to our own textile and clothing industry which has faced serious problems for a number of years.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
I would say to Commissioner De Clercq that it is absolutely clear to all of us that the MFA must be on the table in the GATT.
Afstemningen finder sted i næste afstemningstid.
We must steer very clear of either a liberal or a protectionist approach in this debate.
Kommissionens henstillinger vedrører såvel de multilaterale forhandlinger om forlængelsen af multifiberarrangementet, som udløber den 31. juli 1986, som forhandlingerne om forlængelsen af de bilaterale aftaler, som alle — på nær én, nemlig aftalen med Kina — udløber ved udgangen af indeværende år.
After all, we must put a stop to the uncontrolled growth in imports of cheap textiles produced by West ern capital in countries with unacceptable living conditions, where child labour is common and where trade unions are banned.
Det foreslås at forlænge MFA med mindst fire år, men uden at indgå nogen form for forpligtelse med hensyn til det system, der skal komme derefter.
All in all, therefore, I believe that one has to opt for a renewal of the Multifibre Arrangement but two fundamental considerations must nevertheless be observed.
I overensstemmelse med Rådets beslutning fra juli i år omfatter vore henstillinger også forslag om at ud vise mere fleksibilitet i vor tekstilpolitik.
What has this agree ment done? What it has not done is that it has not prevented the loss of more than one million jobs in the European textile industry.
Blandt an det mener Kommissionen, at man kan lade en række bestemmelser i den nuværende protokol udgå i for bindelse med forlængelsen af MFA, f.eks. den klau
Incidentally, on reading the Commission's standpoint, I believe that this also worries them and I therefore hope that they will drive a good bargain in the negotiations for the new Multifibre Arrangement.

That, that is what we are being asked to renew!

Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Motion for a resolution (Doc.
Forbindelser, som karakteriseres af uacceptable barrierer og hindringer, forbindelser, der fører til en fuldstændig afhængighed, økonomisk og politisk, navnlig efter at USA alene tiltager sig ret til at praktisere sin lovgivning i vore lande.
Relations which are character­ized by the existence of unacceptable barriers and obstacles, relations which are leading to total econo­mic and political dependence, especially after the US has taken on itself the right to apply its legislation in our own countries.
Van Hemeldonck (S). - (NL) Hr. formand, de flamske socialister vil stemme for denne beslutning, om ikke andet så fordi den måske er med til at forbedre forholdene for en belgisk statsborger, fru Helene Passtoors, der i henhold til afsnit 29 i de særlige sikker hedsforanstaltninger, med andre ord en undtagelseslovgivning, allerede i otte måneder har været lukket inde i en celle i Sydafrika.
Mrs Van Hemeldonck (S). — (NL) Mr President, the Flemish Socialists will vote for this resolution, though, because it will perhaps somehow help to ease the lot of a Belgian citizen, Mrs Helene Pastoors, who has already been locked up in a cell for eight months in South Africa under Title 29 of the special security regulations — in other words, emergency legislation.
Endelig vil selvfølgelig de barrierer, som USA opbygger, forsinke det videnskabelige fremskridt.
Finally, of course, the obstacles erected by the US will hold back scientific progress.
De eneste realistiske udvej henimod økonomisk udvikling er teknologisk omdannelse, opbygning af de nye teknologiers Europa.
The only realistic way out towards economic growth is technological transformation, the building of the Europe of the new technologies.

Ganske vist er Fællesskabets industriprodukter på in gen måde konkurrencedygtige.
Of course, the industrial products of the Community are, to a great extent, not competitive.
Konkurrencen kræver en høj teknologistandard.
Competitive­ness demands a high level of technology.
Med hastig udvikling op nåede USA og senere Japan teknologisk overlegenhed, og som et direkte resultat heraf kom vor teknologiske afhængighed.
The US, and then Japan, made rapid advance and achieved technol­ogical superiority, and as a direct result of this we have become technologically dependent ourselves.
Vor afhængighed af USA vokser og vil uundgåeligt føre til økonomisk og politisk underkastelse. derkastelse.
This dependence of ours on the USA is growing and lead­ing inexorably to economic and political subordina­tion.

The most serious of the barriers erected by the US against Europe is the reinforcement and extension of extraterritoriality in American legislation.

Euro­pean undertankings find it difficult in the extreme to get into public sector markets in the US, and the extensive small business market, in which we in my country are very interested, is impossible to get near.
Desuden skærper udviklingen af » Facon TRR « med de lande, som nyder præferencebehandling til fordel for de vesteuropæiske multinationale selskaber i For bundsrepublikken Tyskland, Frankrig og Storbritannien, arbejdsløshedsproblemerne i EF, mens den hindrer den græske eksport i EF.
munity, the effectively free access for textile products from countries which enjoy preferential treatment, Mediterranean countries in particular, the massive investment taking place in Egypt and elsewhere, the restrictive policy of the Americans — all of these things bode ill for the future of the textile industry in the less-developed countries of the EEC, given the liberal reforms being proposed for the Multifibre Arrangement.
af disse jobs er i områder, hvor der er meget få alternativer, og som ville blive ramt meget hårdt af en fri handel.
Many of those jobs are in areas where there are few alternatives and which would be very badly affected by unrestrained trading.
Faldet i beskæftigelsen i mit område har været meget betydeligt: 50% i Starthclyde og 45% i grænseområdet.
The decline in employment in my area has been very substantial: 50% in Strathclyde and 45% in the Borders.
Jeg vil ikke gøre noget til yderligere at ødelægge beskæftigelsesmulighederne for disse per soner, der yder et så væsentligt bidrag til vor nations velstand og til vore eksportindtægter.
I am not going to do anything to further damage the employ ment prospects of those people who are making a very substantial contribution to the wealth of our nation and to our export earnings.
Jeg mener hel ler ikke, at Fællesskabet burde gøre det.
I do not believe that this Community should do so either.
Vi finder det ikke acceptabelt, at der kvantitativt sik res import af tekstilprodukter fra lande uden for Fæl lesskabet til EF-medlemsstater, og at man ikke be skytter eksporten fra medlemslandene.
Even the 'Fason TPP' development with the countries which enjoy preferential treatment to the benefit of the Western European multinationals of the German Federal Republic, France and Great Britain aggravates the problems of unemployment in the EEC while impeding Greek exports to the EEC.
