Spørgetiden kan lige så godt udsætles. De kan ikke forvente, at Rådet viser nogen respekt over for Parlamentet, når del ikke er i stand til al organisere en vigtig forhandling ordentligt.
We can just as easily omit Question Time.
Sutra de Germa (S). — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg skal gore del meget kort og blot sige. at vi indtrængende anmoder medlemmerne om venligst at fremsætte de res indlæg skriftligt på tidspunktet for stemmeforklaringer.
Mr Sutra de Germa (S). — (FR) I shall be very brief, Mr President, to ask Members if they would kindly submit their explanations of vote in writing when the time comes.
I dette Parlament forbyder man os det nemlig fuldstændigt på andre tidspunkter under forhandlingen.
In this Parliament this is absolutely for­bidden at any other time during a debate.
I mange Parlamenter i verden kan hver enkelt fremsætte sine indlæg skriftligt, og jeg linder, al det er ubetinget nødvendigt under omstændigheder som disse.
In many parliaments around the world Members can submit speeches in writing, and I think that it is vital in a situ­ation such as we have now.
Delors, formand far Kommissionen. — (FR) Hr. for mand, for at bidrage til at effektifisere arbejdet her i Parlamentet, vil jeg afholde mig fra at berøve Dem nogle minutter, idet jeg blot vil henvise til det. som hr. Dankert sagde om arbejdslosheden.
Mr Delors, President ofthe Commission. — (FR) In order to expedite the work of the House, Mr Presi­dent, I shall not take up several minutes of your time but simply refer to what Mr Dankert said on unem­ployment.
Der må snart ske noget, hvis EF skal bevare sin troværdighed.
Europe's short-term credibility is at stake here.
Jeg håber, at Parlamentet for ferien kan begynde ai be handle alle de problemer, der forst og fremmest må loses i forbindelse med det økonomiske og monitærc samarbejde mellem de europæiske lande, for jeg tror. at vi med Deres stottc vil kunne gore tingene bedre. re.
It is my hope that before Christmas Parliament can look at all the problems raised in the short term by economic and monetary cooperation among the coun­tries of Europe, because I feel that with your support we could achieve more.
Formanden. — Jeg skal videregive de bemærkninger, som er fremsat her til præsidiet med anmodning om i fremtiden at sorge foren bedre ligevægt mellem taler ne fra Rådet og Kommissionen og fra vor egen institution. tution.
President. — I shall refer the comments which have been made to the Bureau, in an attempt to ensure that in future there is a better distribution of time between the Council and Commission speakers and those of our own institution.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er anden del af spørgetiden (dok. B2-1412/85).
President. — The next item is the second part of Question Time (Doc. Β 2-1412/85).
Hr. formand, man havde vedlaget en taletid på i alt 2 3 4 lime for denne meget vigtige forhandling i eftermiddag.
Since the author is not present, Question No 67 will be answered in writing.1
Heraf har Rådet og Kom missionen lagt beslag på 1 '/ > lime. Med al respekt for disse institutioner tror jeg. at Parlamentet er til for at drøfte sådanne sporgsmål og ikke kun for at tage imod erklæringer fra Rådet og Kommissionen. Jeg beder derfor præsidiet i al venlighed om at lage kontakt med Rådet oe Kommissionen for at sikre, at Pa dagsordenen står sporgsmål til Rådet og til uden rigsministrene.
Mr Beyer de Ryke (L). — (FR) Mr President, I am not personally affected by the request I am making and I therefore feel more at liberty to raise the matter, but can I ask you to allow the Members who could not speak because of our tight timetable to submit as
Van den Broek. — (NL) Selv efter samråd har jeg kun lidt at tilføje til det. jeg allerede har sagt. men hvis jeg forstår det ærede medlem korrekt, sidder også vi eller Kommissionen stadig og venter på Europa-Parlamentets udtalelse.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) Even after consultation I have little to add to what I said earlier, but if I under stand the honourable Member correctly, we or the Commission have still to wait for the opinion of the European Parliament.
— Regeringen i Tyrkiet, et land der er associeret Det europæiske Fællesskab, erklærede for nylig, at den forudser muligheden af at træffe foranstaltninger til skade for den græske handelsflåde.
The Government of Turkey, a country associated with the European Community, recently announced that it is considering the possibility of taking measures against the Greek merchant fleet.
Wedekind (PPE). - (DE) Kan Rådet bekræfte, at der ikke har fundet nogen diskrimineringer sted. og at de diskrimineringer, der trues med, egentlig kun er blevel opfundet, fordi sådanne problemer ikke findes, hvorimod der findes forskellige andre problemer mel lem Grækenland og Tyrkiet?
Mr Wedekind (PPE). — (DE) Can the Council con firm that there has been no discrimination and that the threatened discrimination has been invented simply because such problems do not really exist but there are problems of various kinds between Greece and Turkey?
Er det ikke også rådsformandens opfattelse, al naboproblcmcr burde loses af naboerne selv, især gennem forhandlinger, i stedet for at man til stadighed forsogcr på at undgå, at de loses?
Does the President-in-Office also hold the view that neighbours should settle their problems in a neighbourly fashion, particularly through talks, and should not continually resist such a solution?
Van den Broek, formand for Rådet. — (NL) Rådet liar ikke fået forelagt nogen anmodninger om indgreb i forbindelse med det sporgsmål. det ærede parlamentsmedlem omtaler. Rådet vi være rede til at se med den fornødne opmærksomhed på de forslag, det måtte få forelagt på dette punkt af en medlemsstat eller af Kommissionen.
What steps has the Council taken or does it intend to take to dissuade the Turkish Government from carrying out its threat and what measures does it intend to take should the Turkish Government eventually implement its projected measures?
Van den Broek. — (NL) Det er altid at foretrække, at naboer klarer deres problemer selv. deri er jeg helt enig med det ærede medlem, men i forbindelse med det emne, der her slår på dagsordenen, har vi ikke modtaget nogen klage.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) I agree with the honour able Member that it is always good for neighbours to settle their problems, but we have received no com plaint about this particular matter.
Dette gor det naturligvis lidt vanskeligt at besvare det ærede medlems sporgsmål.
So it is rather difficult to answer the honourable Member's question.
Spørgsmål nr. 64 af Gerontopoulos
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office ofthe Council. — (NL) In reply to MrTzounis's question, the Council has not received any calls for action regarding the matter raised by the honourable Member.
Tzounis (PPE). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne sporge Rådets formand, om han i belreglning af den inlercsse. Rådet har tilkendegivet, at det havde for at undgå diskriminering af flag — som det også fremgår af de forslag til forordning, som Råde! har forelagt Parlamentet til udtalelse — ikke også er af den opfattelse, at han uden hensyntagen til den græske regeringsligegyldighcd i dette så betydningsfulde sporgsmål selvbor tage et initiativ til at hindre denne diskriminering af skibe under græsk flag?
Mr Tzounis (PPE). — (GR) I should like to ask the President-in-Office whether, in view of the interest the Council has shown in the non-discrimination against flags, as emerges from the proposals for regulations which it has put before Parliament for debate, he does not think that the Council, despite the indifference shown by the Greek Government on such an important matter, should do something to ensure that there is no discrimination against the flag of Greek ships.
— Under den 10. samling i Associeringsrådet (EOF-Cypern) den 17.12.1984 forsikrede den daværende formand for Rådet, hr. BARRY, irsk udenrigsminister, da han talte på Rådets vegne, endnu en gang cyprioterne, at Fællesskabet helt sikkert har til hensigt hurtigt (RAPIDLY) at udarbejde de relevante direktiver, således at det muliggores at påbegynde forhandlingerne om iværksættelsen af associeringsaftalens andet stade, det vil sige oprettelsen af toldunionen mellem EØF og Cypern, og at hensingten er at vedtage (ADOPT) disse direktiver i løbet af 1985.
At the tenth session of the EEC-Cyprus Association Council on 17 December 1984, the President-in-Office of the Council, Mr P. Barry, the Irish Foreign Minister, speaking on behalf of the Council of Ministers, assured the Cypriot delegation once more that the Community firmly intended rapidly clarifying the appropriate directives so as to enable negotiations to begin con cerning the implementation of the second stage of the Association Agreement, namely the EEC-Cyprus customs union, and stated that the Council of Ministers intended to adopt these directives before the end of 1985.
Kan udenrigsministrene fortælle os. om de vil holde deres løfter, idet de i lobel af 1985 forelægger de nødvendige direktiver med henblik på påbegyndelsen af de ovennævnte for handlinger?
Would the Foreign Ministers notify us to what extent they will fulfil their undertaking to issue the appropriate directives in 1986 so that the above negotiations can begin?
Van den Broek. — (NL) Som sagt, vi har ikke fået forelagt konkrete forslag.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) As I have just said, we have not received specific proposals.
Det skal indrømmes, at der i øjeblikket i Rådet behandles et memorandum om søtransport i forbindelse med Kommissionens forslag af 19. marts 1985 om en koordincrincret optræden over for indskrænkninger i den frie adgang til at optage last i søtransporten.
It is true that the Council is currently dealing with the Commission pro posal of 19 March 1985 annexed to the memorandum on sea transport and concerning coordinated action against exemption from free access to the cargoes of merchant ships.
Men på dette tidspunkt kan jeg kun sige til det ærede medlem, at jeg bestemt vil forelægge formanden for Rådet af transportministre det sporgsmål. der her er blevet stillet.
All I can do, however, is to tell the honourable Member that I shall certainly bring the matter to the attention of the President-in-Office of the Council of Transport Ministers.
Van den Broek, formand for Rådet. — (NL) På samlingen i slutningen af november 1985 vedtog Rådet forhandlingsdircktiverne vedrørende overgangen til anden etape af associeringsaftalen med Cypern ved hvis afslutning toldunionen mellem Fællesskabet og Cypern skulle være gennemfort i fuldl omfang.
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office ofthe Council. — (NL) At its meeting at the end of November 1985, the Council adopted the negotiating directives con cerning the implementation of the second stage of the Association Agreement with Cyprus, at the end of which full customs union between the Community and Cyprus should be achieved.
Fæl lesskabet har således holdt det tilsagn, som det gav på sidste samling i Associeringsrådet i december 1984.
The Community thus ful filled the undertaking entered into at the last Association Council meeting in December 1984.
Det glæder mig desuden at kunne meddele at forhanlingernc med det associerede Cypern blev indledt den 12. december 1985.
I am also happy to say that the negotiations with our Cypriot partner began on 12 December and that a further meeting is planned for February.
Der er desuden planlagt et møde i forlængelse heraf i februar i år.
Mr Gerontopoulos (PPE). — (GR) I should like to thank the President-in-Office for his answer, but I
(') Se bilag: »Spørgetid«.
Since then we have heard nothing more from the Council.
Gerontopoulos (PPE). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne takke rådsformanden for hans svar, men desuden også an mode ham om at fremskynde proceduren, så Fælles skabet også i praksis viser sin interesse for Cypern og det cypriotiske folks problemer, der jo som bekendt er en følge af den tyrkise invasion af øen.
should also like to ask him to speed up the procedures so that the Community can demonstrate in practice its interest in Cyprus and in the problems of the Cypriot people, which are known to result from the Turkish invasion of the island.
Om : Aftale mellem EØF og Tyrkiet om bomuldstråd
Subject: Agreement between the EEC and Turkey on cotton threads
Van den Broek. — (NL) I vort Europæiske Fællesskab er »fremskynde« et bekendt ord, men i Fællesskabet er der som regel flere parter, der skal enes om det, og i denne sammenhæng er også Cyperns egen medvirken nødvendig.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) In our European Com munity 'speeding up' is a wellknown word, but in the Community more parties are needed as a rule, and in this case there is the added fact that the cooperation of Cyprus itself is needed.
Jeg kan kun sige, at det næste møde er planlagt til februar, og jeg håber således i meget nær fremtid at se nye fremskridt i dette spørgsmål.
All I can say is that I hope the next meeting, which is planned for February, i.e. in the very near future, will manage to achieve further pro gress.
Hvor det er muligt, vil formandskabet bidrage her til.
Wherever possible the Presidency will help to bring this about.
— Aftalen om selvbegrænsning af tyrkisk eksport af bomuldstråd udløber den 31.12.1985.
Sir James Scott-Hopkins (ED). — As chairman of the European Community-Cyprus delegation, I want to ask the President-in-Office of the Council if he can tell us a little bit more about the situation with regard to the Turkish Cypriots.
Kommissionen har nu under skrevet en uregelmæssig aftale med repræsentanterne fra den tyrkiske industri om en ordning for tyrkisk eksport af bomuldstråd og bomuldsstof til EØF.
What position will they have in the negotiations, or are you only negotiating with President Kyprianou?
I den nye aftale har Kommissionen dels undladt at træffe sikkerhedsmæssige forholdsregler i tilfælde af overskridelse af eksportlofterne, og dels har den undladt at træffe afgørelse i spørgsmålet vedrørende overskridelse af 1984-loftet for eksport af tyrkisk bomuldstråd. (for 1984 var der fastlagt et samlet loft på 71 000 tons. og den tyrkiske eksport af bomuldstråd nåede i samme periode op på 96 815 tons.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) Negotiations are being conducted exclusively with the country and govern ment that are recognized, which in this case means the Republic of Cyprus.
I lyset af ovenstående og eftersom indholdet af aftalen ikke er i trit med de generelle retningslinjer for forhandlinger.
The voluntary restraint Agreement concerning Turkish exports of cotton thread is due to expire on 31 December 1985.
Rådet selv har fastlagt for handelspolitik i tekstilsektoren, vil Rådet da ratificere den ovennævnte uregelmæssige aftale med Tyrkiet? kiet?
The Commission of the European Communities has initialled an informal agreement with representatives of the Turkish cot ton industry laying down new arrangements con cerning Turkish exports of cotton thread and cot ton fabrics to the EEC.
Scott-Hopkins (ED). - (EN) Som formand for dele gationen for forbindelserne med Cypern vil jeg gerne spørge Rådets formand, om han kan fortælle os lidt mere om de tyrkiske cyprioters situation. Hvilken rolle spiller de i forhandlingerne, eller forhandler De kun med præsident Kyprianou?
In the new Agreement the Commission has not only failed to take measures to ensure that the export ceiling is respected, it has also failed to settle the question of the excess exports of Turkish cotton thread above the 1984 ceiling (in 1984 the total ceiling amounted to 71 000 tonnes, while Turkish exports of cotton thread over the same period totalled 96 815 tonnes).
Van den Broek. — (NL) Forhandlingerne føres ude lukkende med det land og den regering, der er anerkendt, og det vil sige republikken Cypern.
In view of the above and since the con tents of the Agreements are beyond the scope of the general negotiating mandate which the Council itself laid down for trade policy in the textiles sector, does the Council intend ratifying the above information Agreement with Turkey?
Er det også Rådets opfattelse, at kun denne del af Cypern skal omfattes af ordningerne, men ikke Cyperns nordlige del. den tyrkiske republik Nordcypern, som er et demokrati, der er valgt ved frie valg?
Does the Council therefore consider that only this part of Cyprus is to be affected by the rules of the agreement, but not the northern part, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is a freely elected democracy?
Gør Rådet sig klart, at det er en indirekte anerkendelse af den nordcypriotiske tyrkiske republik, hvis den ikke om fattes af disse aftaler?
Does the Council realize that failure to take account of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in these agreements amounts to indirect recognition of it?
Van den Broek, formand for Rådet. — (NL) Jeg vil gerne først erindre om, at det generelle princip, der ligger til grund for aftalerne med vore associerede partnere, herunder Tyrkiet, er afskaffelse af kvantitative restriktioner.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) The fact that we recognize only one Cypriot State means that the Agree ments we have made are actually valid for the whole island.
Filinis (COM). — (GR) Jeg takker rådsformanden for de oplysninger, han har været så venlig at meddele mig, men jeg vil gerne stille et tillægsspørgsmål.
Conversely, I should like to tell the honourable Member that, if it were otherwise, it would amount to actually recognizing the so-called Northern Cypriot State, which is not the case.
Van den Broek. — (NL) Det faktum, at vi kun anerkender ét Cypern, én stat Cypern, betyder, at de aftaler, der indgås, i praksis gælder for hele øen.
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office ofthe Council. — (NL) I would first of all point out that the under lying general principle of the Agreements concluded with our associate partners, including Turkey, is the aboliton of all quantitative restrictions.
Om vendt vil jeg gerne sige til det ærede medlem, at hvis det var anderledes, ville det i praksis være en anerkendelse af den såkaldt nordcypriotiske stat, hvilket altså ikke er tilfældet.
However, for some years, with the aim of avoiding disturbances on the Community market as a result of increasing exports from Mediterranean countries, the Com munity has endeavoured, as part of its general policy on textiles, to reach informal Agreements with our preferential partners and in particular with Turkey, with the aim of regulating the quantity of their exports of sensitive textile products to the Community.
På grund af den nye aftale med Tyrkiet blev der bevilget forhøjelser, som gør. at det samlede loft overskrides, og jeg vil gerne spørge, hvad Rådet i den forbindelse agter at gøre. specielt i betragtning af den kendsgerning, at den samlede, flerfasede aftale i 1986 skal genforhandles.
In this general framework an informal arrangement has existed with the Turkish association of exporters of cotton thread since 1982 and has been regularly renewed.
Van den Broek. — (NL) Jeg håber, De vil have for ståelse for. at dette spørgsmål er så langt fra det
Mr Filinis (COM). — (GR) I thank the President-in-Office for the information he has kindly given us, and I should like to ask a supplementary question.
Van den Broek. — (NL) Den 13. december sidste år nåede man frem til en aftale med Tyrkiet om ordningen for 1986 samt for 1987. Selv om denne ordning endnu ikke på dette tidspunkt skulle være trådt offi-
Mr Adamou (COM). — (GR) I should like to take this opportunity of asking the President-in-Office what level of trade there is between the Community and Cyprus and whether the balance of trade with Cyprus is positive or negative.
Van den Broek cielt i kraft, vil den alligevel gælde med tilbagevirkende kraft fra den 1. januar 1986.
I should like to ask what the Council intends to do about this, particularly in view of the fact that in 1986 the Multifibre Arrangement is due to be completely renegotiated.
Handelen foregår således allerede under hensyntagen til denne aftale. Når talen er om en tilsidesættelse af denne aftale, kan man. som jeg tidligere sagde, til enhver tid påberåbe sig den bekendte beskyttelsesklausul.
So I should like to ask the Council the following: in view of the fact that, for example, Dutch people who work in Germany but live in the Netherlands cannot deduct mortgage interest from their tax — a very real problem for frontier workers and very real proof that we do not yet have a Europe without frontiers — and in view of the fact that there are thus still problems which have not been solved in the Netherlands-German bilateral agreement, as the Netherlands Govern ment set out in a note to the Netherlands Parliament, is the Council still prepared to give the necessary priority to adopting this directive during the Dutch Presidency so that the delay in relation to the time table put forward in the White Paper does not become even greater?
Tillad mig herefter afslutningsvis at stille rådsformanden to konkrete spørgsmål.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) On 13 December last, agreement was achieved with Turkey on the system to apply both in 1986 and 1987.
For det første : Hvad er det for medlemsstater, der stadig betvivler nødvendigheden af et direktiv?
Although the Agreement has not yet been officially finalized and has not yet come into force, it will nevertheless apply with retroactive effect from 1 January 1986.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 66 af de Vries (H674/85):
President. — I call Question No 66, by Mr De Vries (H-674/85):
Van den Broek. — (NL) Med hensyn til det første spørgsmål kan jeg svare, at syv delegationer tog et generelt forbehold over for det pågældende forslag, og det andet svar kan jeg måske lade tilflyde det ærede medlem på anden vis.
So I should like to end by asking the President-in-Office two specific questions. Firstly, which Member States still doubt the need for a directive?
— Mange grænsearbejdere får skattemæssige problemer, når de erhverver deres indkomst i en anden medlemsstat.
Many frontier workers are faced with taxation problems over income which they earn in another Member State.
Et forslag fra Kommissionen om at forbedre dette forhold stammer helt tilbage til 1979 (forslag til direktiv om harmonisering af be stemmelserne for indkomstkat med henblik på arbejdskraftens frie bevægelighed inden for Fællesskabet, KOM(79) 737 ende lig udg.).
The Commission submitted a pro posal to improve this situation in 1979 (proposal concerning the harmonization of income taxation provisions with respect to freedom of movement for workers within the Community — COM(79) 737 final).
Van den Broek, formand for Rådet. — (NL) Trods de store bestræbelser, der er udfoldet gennem de seneste år. har det ikke været muligt at nå til enighed om det af det ærede parlamentsmedlem nævnte forslag til direktiv.
Mr Van den Broek. — (NL) In answer to the first question I can say that seven delegations expressed a general reservation on the proposal in question, and as regards the second question, perhaps I can give the honourable Member an answer in another way, since I cannot do so this evening.
Uden at bestride nødvendigheden af at der på lang sigt tindes en fællesskabsløsning på grænsearbejdernes skattemæssige problemer, har Adonnino-udvalget endvidere bekræftet, at man i første omgang bør af hjælpe de pågældende problemer gennem vedtagelse af nationale love eller gennem indgåelse af bilaterale aftaler medlemsstaterne imellem.
Mr Hughes (S). — In view of the difficulties to which the President-in-Office has referred, the backlog of directives relating to the freedom of movement of workers and the continued existence of barriers to the free movement of working and out-of-work people, for example, the fact that benefits are stopped for any unemployed person leaving the UK in search of work, is it now high time that the President-in-Office came clean and admitted that this whole setup is about free dom for capital and big business and has nothing to do with the interests of working or out-of-work people?
de Vries (L). — (NL) Jeg finder Rådets svar helt utilfredsstillende.
Mr Van den Broek, President-in-Office ofthe Council. — (NL) Despite the considerable effort made in recent years, it has unfortunately been impossible to arrive at an agreement on the proposal for a directive referred to by the honourable Member.
