Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 54 af sir Frederic Warner (H-446/80):
That is why I have tried, by way of my amendment, to get an assurance at least that this House — like all parliaments — would be located at the same place as the Community executive.
Hr. formand, må jeg spørge Dem, om De er villig til at spørge den kommende formand for EF-Kommissionen, om han er villig til at gøre det, De netop har sagt?
But we must be prepared to commit ourselves and take a decision today.
(Munterhed)
I call Mrs Flesch.
Som det allerede fremgår af mit svar på spørgsmålet fra hr. Scott-Hopkins, har Kommissionen imidlertid endnu ikke forelagt Rådet et forslag herom.
This is why the two amendments which have been tabled seem to me to go much further than the authors of the resolution intended.
Skal vi forstå det, formanden for Rådet netop har sagt, sådan, at han anser det for rigtigt, at hvis man i Kommissionen har på fornemmelsen, at en medlemsstats repræsentant i Rådet muligvis vil være imod et af dens forslag, så berettiger dette den til overhovedet ikke at fremsætte nogen forslag?
Personally I feel that the word 'consultation' is preferable to 'conciliation' in the resolution in view of the significance of the idea of conciliation in Community terminology, but I don't think that this will be of any real importance within the general context of the resolution. These, Mr President, are my feelings on the resolution as it now stands.
Kommissionen sagde for to dage siden her i Parlamentet, at så vidt man vidste, var alle fuldt tilfredse med den nuværende situation, men jeg ved, at det ikke forholder sig sådan.
It is, in my opinion, a major shortcoming in the motion for a resolution before us now that it merely calls on the governments of the Member States to reach a decision by 15 June at the latest.
Der er faktisk blevet rettet meget indtrængende henvendelser til mig om dette anliggende. Jeg vil derfor bede Kommissionen om at forelægge forslag for Rådet så hurtigt som muligt.
But I ask you, Mr President, what will happen in the Council when this matter comes up for discussion?
Jeg vil på min side naturligvis søge at forsikre mig om, at Kommissionens forslag ligger på linje med de henvendelser, jeg har modtaget.
Proper consultation will follow — at least, we are asking that it should — but we have received no assurances on this point.
Jeg har ikke sagt, at jet mente, dette var berettiget.
Perhaps there will be consultation between this House's Political Affairs Committee and the Council.
Jeg konstaterer blot en kendsgerning: Kommissionen har ikke fremsat noget forslag.
I believe that the decision must be reached here in this chamber in full view of the press and the people of Europe, rather than behind closed doors.
Og jeg siger ærligt til det ærede parlamentsmedlem, at jeg ved, at der i Rådet er ikke én men adskillige delegationer, som vurderer markedssituationen på en anden måde end visse parlamentsmedlemmer.
And in view of the situation throughout the world, where governments and parliaments — with one exception: South Africa — have the same place of work, I think the least this House should do is to say that Parliament must have its seat in the same place as the executive.
Jeg tror ikke, det er nogen forbrydelse at indrømme det, men det er ikke ensbetydende med, at mangelen på forslag herved er berettiget.
There is a rumour going around that Brussels may be designated Parliament's formal seat, but that Strasbourg would remain
Hvis jeg skal svare med ja eller nej, er svaret nej; for øjeblikket foreligger der ikke nogen forespørgsel fra Polen til Fællesskabet.
Are we any nearer now than we were in 1965 to a federal solution, to a solution which will really bring Europe together?
Thorn, formand for Rådet. —- (fr.)
The debate is closed.
Det tilkommer således ikke De Ni, som det heller ikke tilkommer nogen anden regering, på nogen måde at gribe ind i Polens interne forhold.
Should not therefore the individual name of the Member State be used on the label?
Dette forhindrer bestemt ikke De Ni i fortsat at følge begivenhederne i Polen med stor opmærksomhed, og jeg mener også, at vi klart har vist, at dette sker.
And is the Council aware that in some countries outside the EEC not only are misleading labels being used but in some cases false labels bearing the name of a country in which the arti cle did not originate, and could the Council formulate plans to combat this procedure?

The motion for a resolution will be put to the vote at the next voting time:
Thorn, formand for Rådet. — (fr.)
Question No 48 by Mr Seal (H-270/80):
Rådet gør det ærede parlamentsmedlem opmærksom på, at artikel 52 i EØF-traktaten om etableringsretten inden for landbruget fastsætter, at »de restriktioner, som hindrer statsborgere i en medlemsstat i frit at etablere sig på en anden medlemsstats område, gradvis ophæves i løbet af overgangsperioden«.
Has the Council discussed or does it intend to discuss, the question of compulsory origin marking for consumer goods, in particular textile and clothing products?
Med hensyn til de mere direkte økonomiske aspekter af den nuværende situation i Polen og mulighederne for en fællesskabsaktion, som omhandlet i anden del af spørgsmålet, erindrer jeg om, at Fællesskabets politik over for statshandelslande er præget af dets åbenhed og dets beredvillighed til at forhandle bilaterale handelsaftaler'med hvert af disse lande, og at det i 1974 sendte et forhandlingstilbud til Polen så vel som til de andre statshandelslande.
Mr Thorn. — (F) The Commission intends to introduce a system of labelling for certain textile and clothing products indicating their origin, but only at the retail sale stage and not at the import stage so as to avoid the need for border checks.
Dette tilbud, som stadig er ubesvaret fra Polens side, gælder stadig, og jeg kan gentage det, som jeg allerede havde lejlighed til at sige under Deres nylige debat vedrørende Polen, nemlig at Rådet på en konstruktiv måde vil behandle enhver anmodning, som fremsættes af Polen på dette område.
It intends that the ways in which the origin is indicated should be flexible and does not intend to make the marking compulsory in the Community.
Ifølge artikel 54 i EØF-traktaten udfører Rådet og Kommissionen i øvrigt de opgaver, som er overdraget dem i henhold til nævnte artikel, »idet de skal gøre det muligt for statsborgere i en medlemsstat at erhverve og udnytte fast ejendom, der ligger i en anden medlemsstat, for så vidt dette ikke strider mod principperne i artikel 39, stk. 2.«
Certain Member States may, however, make it compulsory provided they comply with the provisions of the directive and it was in fact on this subject that your Assembly was consulted on 16 October 1980 in connection with the Commission proposal which is based on Article 100.
I medfør af disse bestemmelser har Rådet vedtaget flere direktiver, som det ærede parlamentsmedlem kan få udleveret en liste over.
It is, I think, when Parliament comes to discuss this that it should make the points you have just made and draw the attention of the Commission and the Council to your preoccupations so that the Council can, I hope, take account of them.
Rådet vil desuden gerne gøre det ærede parlaments medlem opmærksom på, at uafhængigt af vedtagelsen af sådanne direktiver og deres gennemførelse finder princippet om etableringsretten i artikel 52 direkte anvendelse i overensstemmelse med Domstolens dom i sag 2/74, hvori det hedder:
Mr Thorn, President-in-Office of the Council. — (F) A proposal for a Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on the designation of origin of certain textile and clothing products, about which the honourable Member is concerned, has recently been submitted to the Council by the Commission.
Jeg er enig i, at vi ikke bør gribe ind i andre staters interne forhold, og tilslutter mig altså den holdning, vi har vedtaget.
Does the Council feel that the European Parliament has had a significant influence on decisions of the Council and if so, could it send me a list of these decisions?
EØF-traktatens artikel 52 er efter udløbet af overgangsperioden en umiddelbart gældende bestemmelse, uanset at der inden for et bestemt område ikke er udstedt de direktiver, der er nævnt i traktatens.artikel 54, stk. 2, og 57, stk. 1.
I might point out that this Question is not entirely in accordance with the guidelines, which do not permit members to request statistical data in the context of Question Time.
»I henhold til artikel 155 i EØF-traktaten skal Kommissionen« drage omsorg for gennemførelsen af de i traktaten indeholdte bestemmelser og af de bestemmelser, som med hjemmel i denne træffes af institutionerne«.
The purpose of this proposal, which is designed to allay misgivings expressed as regards consumer protection and the continued smooth running of the Community market, is to ensure that whenever private operators make use of the designation of origin at the final consumption stage of the products, this complies with the same criteria within the Community.
Det tilkommer således ikke Rådet at tage stilling til spørgsmålet om jordopkøb, der fore tages af borgere i tredjelande.
The European Parliament was consulted on 16 October 1980 on this proposal, which is one of a series of proposals which were announced last March in a Commission Communication concerning textile problems with a bearing on origin marking and submitted
Personligt mener jeg ikke, man bør forsøge at løse problemet med landbrugsstrukturerne ved hjælp af etableringsretten. Der eksisterer forskel lige nationale midler, og i øvrigt kan Fællesskabet i sin helhed gribe dette problem an.
Mr Israel. — (F) Mr President of the Council, your reply struck me as very satisfactory, particularly as regards the theoretical aspect, and I should like to thank you on behalf of Mr Hutton.
Det enorme omfang, dette problem har antaget, forhindrer den bedst mulige udnyttelse af et område på størrelse med Nederlandene, for at nogle få personer kan jage, skyde og fiske i stil med med Middelalderens prinser.
Could you, by way of example, tell us in what way the resolution adopted by this Parliament on 15 October on the Madrid Conference influenced the Council?
Er det ikke økonomisk vanvid i en verden, hvor der er mangel på træ?
This would be an excellent illustration of your theoretical analysis.
Jeg vil gerne spørge om man har gjort noget forsøg på at vurdere indvirkningen af disse ikke-bosiddende personers kapitalinvesteringer i deres jord eller af de personers velfærd, som bor og opholder på dette område?
For all Opinions, it is the intention that the" reports drawn up at every stage in the Coun cil's proceedings should reflect any differences between the approach envisaged and the Opinion of the European Parliament.
Formanden. — Fru Ewing, De har fremsat Deres syn på sagen, men ikke stillet noget spørgsmål. Vil De være så venlig at stille Deres spørgsmål.
President. — I must ask the honourable Members to adhere to the guidelines laid down for the conducting of Question Time when putting questions to the President of the Council.
Med hensyn til de, som er tiltrådt senere, er det kun Danmark, som har anmodet om dispensation, som i øvrigt stadig er gyldig.
The guidelines require very precise and correct questions, and supplementaries must have a very direct bearing on the original question.
Endvidere vil jeg gerne bede Dem undskylde, at jeg ikke er i stand til at svare i dag på anden del af Deres spørgsmål, da der ikke foreligger de nødvendige undersøgelser.
Would the President-in-Office not agree that many of the 110 million Europeans who voted in direct elections might not have bothered to do so if they had not wished the views of this Parliament to be taken seriously by the Council?
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 57 af Prag (H-447/80):
Mr Thorn. — (F) This was a different question, not a supplementary.
Det ærede parlamentsmedlem ved udmærket godt, at det ikke er formanden for Rådets opgave at fordybe sig i de forskellige landes forskel lige fortolkninger af traktaten og spørge sig selv, om traktaten er god eller dårlig.
I am sure this has not escaped the notice of the honourable Members, but I should nevertheless like to remind you of this fact.
De siger, at det volder Dem en del bekymringer — hvilket jeg respekterer — men i det foreliggende tilfælde bør De snarere rette Deres klage til Hendes kongelige Højheds regering, for jeg var formand for Rådet dengang vi forhandlede om Storbritanniens, Danmarks og Irlands tiltrædelse.
Having said this, I think I have made matters easier for myself since, when we went to Madrid, as I said to your Political Affairs Committee, we were inspired by the position adopted by the European Parliament.
Og jeg skal anføre, at Danmark dengang anmodede om dispensation fra teksten vedrørende etableringsretten, og at Fællesskabet indrømmede Danmark denne dispensation. Det eneste, jeg kan sige Dem, fru Ewing, er, at Det forenede Kongerige ikke anmodede om en sådan dispensation i forbindelse med forhandlingerne.
I do not say that everyone had Parliament's opinion in mind right from the outset, but, after the last meeting, I saw to it that everyone was familiar with Parliament's views on this matter and I honoured my commitments when addressing the conference in Madrid on behalf of the Council of the European Communities when I took account of the views of this Parliament.
Rådet gør dog opmærksom på sin resolution af 27. juni 1974, som tilsigter erhvervsmæssig revalidering af handicappede.
It studies Parliament's opinion and takes its decision on its own responsibility. ity.
Med hensyn til de nederlandske borgere, som køber jord i Skotland, hvordan vil De så have, jeg skal berøve Dem en fornøjelse, som De også skaffer sig i Luxembourg?
President. — I have four further speakers down who I will call in turn, after which, Mr President, I should be grateful if you would answer them jointly.
I øvrigt anvender Den europæiske Socialfond en del af sine midler på at bidrage til finansiering af foran staltninger i medlemsstaterne med henblik på integrering eller genintegrering af handicappede i erhvervslivet. livet.
Mr Penders. — (NL) In view of the fact that the President of the Council is nearly at the end of this term of office, and since the British have come in for so much criticism for showing so little European spirit and in view of the fact that a British Member of Parliament has now finally said something positive about Community relations, I should like to ask the President of the Council whether or not it would be possible to put Parliament in a position where it could judge for itself what influence it has on Council decisions, by telling us the reasons why the Council's attitude differs in important respects from the views of Parliament.
Seligman. — (en.) Vil formanden for Rådet som frem tidigt medlem af Kommissionen tage til efterretning, at dette problem også vedrører Sydengland, hvor store områder opkøbes af hollændere, som gør det umuligt for unge landmænd at etablere sig i dette område på grund af inflationen i jordpriserne.
I think I am perhaps anticipating your wishes in that I have requested that in the future the questions of the nature of Parliament's opinion and the reasons for the view adopted by the Council should be made more clear and more transparent so that it will at least be possible to see why the Council reached a particular decision.
Hvis Kommissionen — som formanden for Rådet inden længe vil være formand for — fremsætter et forslag om at fastsætte regler eller normer på fællesskabsplan, som på et senere tidspunkt skal anvendes i alle medlemsstater med henblik på at bistå de handicappede, på områder som f.eks. bolig, transport, adgang til bygninger og uddannelse, vil Rådet så tage det op til overvejelse?
Would the President-in-Office or the Council impress on his colleagues the fact that a lot of people hold the view that the Council of Ministers sits down and decides how it can thwart the opinions of this Parliament, and would it be possible for the Council to set down in writing from time to time how it has reacted to the views of Parliament? That, I think, would be extremely helpful to us.
Formodentlig er Rådet nu specielt interesseret i at vente på Parlamentets udtalelse.
opinion or, this is why we have not taken account of it'.
Kan De love os, at De vil give denne betænkning, hvori der fremsættes en række radikale forslag med henblik på de handicappede, særlig opmærksomhed?
You are perfectly familiar with how opinions are arrived at by the nine or ten countries at the level of the officials.
Vil De desuden, når De bliver formand for Kommissionen, forsikre Dem om, at Kommissionen gør sig særlige bestræbelser på at træffe foranstaltninger i forbindelse med det inter nationale år for handicappede og ikke blot fremsætter fromme erklæringer, men handler i overensstemmelse med Parlamentets udtalelse?
You would be waiting for months for the reply to your opinion to appear in the Official Journal whereas you know perfectly well by the following day why the Council has not in some cases acted in accordance with your opinions.
Med hensyn til hvad der yderligere vil ske i den sag, vil det ærede parlamentsmedlem sikkert forstå, at det er alt for tidligt at udtale sig om dette på nuværende stadium.
Why put a further burden on this Community by introducing written opinions in which the Council could take refuge in words as I am obliged to do here speaking on behalf of the Nine?
De handicappede kan få støtte fra Fonden i kraft af artikel 4 og 5 i vor beslutning nr. 71/66 EØF.
Mr Seeler. — (D) Mr President of the Council, I was very pleased to hear your answer to the original ques tion.
De former for støtte, der gives, er blandt andre følgende: støtte med henblik på at bortskaffe de hindringer, som gør adgangen til disponible arbejdspladser vanskelig; — støtte med henblik på at tilpasse arbejdspladserne til de handicappedes særlige krav eller med henblik på at lette tilpasning eller erhvervsmæssig revalidering af de handicappede. cappede.
However, I should like to ask whether you are aware that certain opinions of the European Parliament concerning draft directives submitted by the Commission have been before the Council for more than ten years — I might mention, for example, those concerning questions of harmonization of taxation — and have as yet not been discussed by the Council.
Det er det mest præcise kriterium, jeg kan give Dem.
This is a concrete example of the opposite of what you said in your answer.
Vil De i kraft af deres nuværende og fremtidige stilling fremsætte forslag for Rådet og Kommissionen med henblik på at sørge for, at 1981 stemples som året for handicappede i Fællesskabet?
Examples include the harmonization of taxes on which we issued wellfounded opinions.
Jeg vil dog tilføje, at Socialfonden eksisterer, og at den tager initiativer, men i den forbindelse vil jeg gerne for egen regning stille følgende spørgsmål: hvorfor altid bede Fællesskabet om dette?
They were more criticisms of the way the Council works and I can understand why these criticisms should be made — indeed, I will not even claim they are not justified.
I betragtning af de næsten uoverkommelige vanskeligheder, vi står over for, bør vi så stadig rette anmodninger til Fællesskabet?
President. — Question No 50 will not be called as this subject is included on the agenda for this partsession.
(Bifald)
I call Question No 51 by Mr Adam (H-434/80):
Er formanden for Rådet enig med mig i, at det ville være bedre for hr. Prag hvis han brugte tiden på at forsøge at overbevise sin regeringschef om, at hun burde gøre noget for de handicappede i stedet for at være den, som er årsagen til de forfærdelige følger, det kan få, og til den tragiske situation, de handicap pede vil blive udsat for, hvis hun ikke laver en kovending og ændrer sin politik og begynder at øge, snarere end at skære ned på de offentlige udgifter?
However, do you really want a President-in-Office of the Council — and this is why the phrase 'in Office' is included in his title — to reply to these criticisms, particularly 48 hours before the end of his term of office? It would be too easy for me to say, 'Ah, if I was staying, you know, and if it only depended on me, we'd do this and that.'
Med hensyn til den nylige ændring i beregningen af værdien af de særlige trækningsrettigheder, hvorledes bedømmer Rådet den omstændighed, at de nye vejede forhold er væsentligt anderledes end de tidligere, og at især dollaren har fået øget vægt?
After all, you have voiced these criticisms here, and I think and hope that my colleagues will take note of them just as much as I do — which of course is why the representative is here.
Thorn, formand for Rådet. — (fr.)
(b) economic convergence?
Thorn, formand for udenrigsministrene. — (fr.)
Mr Thorn, President­in­Office of the Council. — (F) In its Resolution on the guidelines for Community regional policy, adopted on 6 February 1979, the Council asserted that regional policy is an integral part of the economic policies of the Community and the Member States.
Dette problem har ikke været drøftet inden for rammerne af det europæiske politiske samarbejde.
It forms part of the various elements which contribute to the attain­ment of a high degree of convergence of the economic policies of the Member States.
Jeg må derfor bede det ærede parlamentsmedlem om at udvise for ståelse for, at jeg ikke er i stand til at svare på De Ni's vegne.
The establishment of a comprehensive system of analysis and policy formulation for the Community regional policy should make it possi­ble to establish a common basis of assessment.
Man kunne således formode, at jeg mente, at ikke alle de regeringer, som udgør Fælles skabet, ville drage denne konklusion.
Having been present at all the summits and all the European Council meetings over the last twelve years, I can assure you that this is one of the few problems which has in fact been discussed, particularly in recent years, at all the Coun­cil meetings.
Selv om jeg naturligvis fuldt ud accepterer det svar, jeg har fået, vil jeg gerne bede hr. Thorn om at sørge for, at dette spørgsmål bliver drøftet så hurtigt som muligt, således at våben, som vi leverer, ikke anvendes til nedslagtning af menneskene på Østtimor, sådan som det sker nu.
However, I do not think there would be any point in my making any promises in connection with this meet­ing, ι
Med hensyn til dollarens rolle ved De, at dens betydning ikke udelukkende er afhængig af de beslutninger, som Fællesskabets Råd måtte træffe! Dollaren som tidligere havde en vægt på 33 %, har for tiden en vægt på 42 %.
Miss Quin. — Is the President­in­Office aware that some of us are concerned about the way the Council makes decisions on regional policy, in particular the fact that the Council is often composed of ministers whose primary responsibility back home is not for regional policy at all, but for some area of policy — for example, the Foreign Ministers?
Fællesskabets valutaer, som indgik i den gamle kurv af særlige trækningsrettigheder, havde i alt en vægt på ca. 41 %.
Has he any suggestions for improving the way the Council consi­ders regional policy and establishing a real regional
Det er det, der er meningen med hr. de la Malenes spørgsmål.
The repprt fór 1979 was fprwarded by the Cpmmission on 8 August 1980.
Det er ikke blot dollarens vægt men også de europæiske valutaers vægt, som interesserer Europa-Parlamentet, det er jeg sikker på.
The above communications therefore make possible an overall view of the problems raised.
Dollaren er steget fra 33 til 41 %, og samtidig er de tre fællesskabsvalutaer steget til 45 %, men det indbyrdes forhold er jeg ikke i stand til at anføre.
Will the Presi­dent­in­Office, in the two remaining days that appar­ently remain to him in his office (and might I say in parenthesis how much we have appreciated the way he has tried to answer the questions we have addressed to him during his fourth period as President of the Coun­cil), impress on his colleagues that this failure to achieve economic convergence in the regions and to deal with the problems of unemployment, although it represents a failure of the national governments, also represents a failure on the part of this Community?
