Men denne industri beskæftiger fremdeles to og en halv million mennesker i Fællesskabet, og det er på tide, endog på høje tid, at der gribes ind, hvis man vil bevare disse to og en halv million arbejdspladser.
And yet wage costs are higher for France's main suppliers, 36% higher in the case of West Germany, for example.
For det første burde det tage hensyn til den forventede udvikling af Fællesskabets og hver enkelt medlemsstats interne forbrug.
The Multifibre Arrangement is one of the most developed elements in our Community common commercial policy.
For det andet burde det indebære en rimelig åbning af tredjelandenes markeder, uanset om de er industrialiserede eller under udvikling.
If skillfully handled it can set a pattern for future trade development, for the problems of textiles today will most surely be the problems of other industries tomorrow.
For det femte burde det tage hensyn til nødvendigheden af ved en europæisk plan i tillæg til de nationale planer at finansiere omstruktureringen og moderniseringen af den europæiske industri, ikke mindst når sådanne foranstaltninger vil få udvirkninger for beskæftigelse, erhvervsuddannelse og afløsningsinvesteringer.
We, therefore, counsel a full recognition of the difficulties facing the textile industry, a thorough negotiating stance with our fellow developed nations and with newly industrialized countries, but encouragement to those poorer countries upon whom the future growth of world trade will largely depend and whose industry is in its infancy.
Finansieringen af disse aktioner og opretholdelsen af et med det interne forbrug foreneligt importniveau kunne efter vor opfattelse sikres ved indførelse af en midlertidig importafgift på alle
We wish the Commission well in its negotiations and we beg to support this motion.
Hvad er nu hovedårsagerne til de fastslåeiser, som alle har hengivet sig til?
President. — I call the Communist and Allies Group.
For det første lægger man mærke til, at handelsaftalerne af 1977 har begrænset importens kvantitative stigning, men at importforøgelsen alligevel har været langt større end det interne forbrugs vækst.
Mr Frischmann. — (FR) Mr President, the crisis in the textile industry has become even more acute, parti cularly in France, where 200 000 jobs have been lost in the last 10 years.
De ikke-europæiske varers andel af det interne marked er steget fra 18 % i 1973 til 36 % i 1979.
In 1980 alone, over 5% of the 600 000 workers in this sector lost their jobs and output fell by 45% in textiles and by 10% in
En anden årsag er den kraftige beskyttelse, som de fleste af tredjelandene har indført for deres egne markeders vedkommende, idet den har forhindret den europæiske eksports normale vækst.
The textile industry has the lowest rates of pay of any sector, wages being on average 25% below those in other jobs, and the loss of purchasing power since 1973 is almost 18%.
En tredje grund har vi i det helt urimelige misforhold i lønudgifterne. Hvis vi sætter timelønsudgiften i De forenede Stater lig 100, så udgør det tilsvarende tal kun 5 i Thailand, 10 i Indien og 13 i Marokko, mens det ligger på 77 i Spanien, 80 i Irland, 90 i Storbritannien, 135 i Frankrig, 143 i Danmark og Italien, 167 i Tyskland, 183 i Nederlandene og 186 i Belgien.
The vast majority of the men and women employed in the textile industry are semiskilled or unskilled, whereas using modern technology it should be possible to improve working conditions by doing away with repetitive jobs, the frightful monotony, the noise and other nuisances to which these workers are subjected, particularly the women, who are exploited even more and in addition have to suffer the vulgarities and indignities inflicted on them.
Vi står altså over for arbejdslønninger, der svinger fra 5 til 186!
But the only prospect for these men and women is a further deterioration in the conditions of work and a
Og vi ved alle, at det er de steder, hvor de multinationale virksomheder foretrækker at slå sig ned.
As their real earnings have fallen, workers have had to cut down on their purchases of clothing and textiles.
Denne afgifts provenu skulle indgå i Fællesskabets egne indtægter og fuldt og helt bruges til finansiering af den nye europæiske tekstilpolitik. Endelig burde der tages hensyn til nødvendigheden af en streng kontrol med den passive forarbejdningspraksis, og konstaterede overtrædelser bør straffes.
The mechanisms have not worked satisfactorily because the application of the safeguard clause in the bilateral agreements has been too lax, and also because — and here I am in agreement with Mr Davignon — of a lack of cooperation, once again, between some of our governments, which consider it to be in their interest to close their eyes to infringements of Community legislation committed in their countries and to the unfair competition engendered by such practices.
Vi kan altså tilslutte os størstedelen af de forslag, der er indeholdt i beslutningsforslaget, men vi ønsker at gå et skridt videre, navnlig med hensyn til fastsættelsen af en virkelig fælles politik inden for tekstilsektoren samt med hensyn til indførelse af ad hoc-midler beregnet til denne politiks finansiering.
It is indeed the resuit of a policy, the consequence of a deliberate decision, and this is why, incidentally, the same causes together with their inevitable effects — the very same causes and effects that are at the root of the present situation — hold out the prospect of an even gloomier future.
De af vor gruppede stillede ændringsforslag går da også i denne retning.
This policy, these decisions, are what unite the textile giants and the governments of the Ten.
Jeg håber, at forsamlingen vil tage dem i betragtning.
These decisions have also been quite plainly endorsed in this Parliament.
Modsætningerne findes naturligvis, og de er komplicerede, men for at opløse dem behøvede man blot beslutsomt at anvende forholdsregler, som rammer dem, der virkelig truer, ikke kapitalen — der går, hvor den vil — men arbejderklassen inden for tekstilindustrien, som ikke kan gå andre steder hen.
Well, let us not mince words; what this means is more redeployment, because it is this European policy, adopted and implemented with particular fervour by the French Government, that is the cause of the present situation.
Og så kan man ikke, som hr. Welsh gør, likvidere det spørgsmål, som den økonomiske nedgang rejser.
Quite another way has therefore to be found, and I can do no better than refer to the resolution tabled by Gustave Ansart.
Men vel at mærke ud fra det synspunt, at man vil hjælpe udviklingslandene og derimod lukke af for dem, der er tilflugtssteder for den vestlige kapital.
It is possible to create thousands of new jobs in the textile industry, to build a great modern industry that is nationally based but receptive to the idea of cooperation on the basis of mutual interest.
Derfor ikke længere 6 %, for i betragtning af den øjeblikkelige økonomiske nedgang ville det svare til en fuldstændig liberalisering, som i dag er umulig, men en differentieret revision, som for alt i verden ikke må gå ud over Lomé-landene, der kun eksporterer en latterlig lille del af tekstilproduktionen til Fællesskabet.
For the immediate future, it will also be necessary to take any protectionist measures that may be required, and obviously this applies not only to Community frontiers but primarily to national frontiers. This, at any rate, is what the men and women working in the industry and the inhabitants of the regions most closely involved in it earnestly want.
Dernæst behøves der en fælles europæisk politik over for De forenede Stater, idet man bør vedtage hr. Martinets forslag.
President. — I call the Liberal and Democratic Group.
Castellina. — (IT) Hr. formand, denne debat om fornyelsen af multifiberarrangementet kunne udmærket have givet anledning til en mere generel og til syvende og sidst mere konkret overvejelse fra Parlamentets side af visse emner, som der — som vi ved — alt for ofte bliver talt tomme ord om her i salen.
You may have read in the press, as I have, the report according to which the Commission has found no evidence 'of any violations of the Treaty of Rome or of any instances of unfair competition' in the case of the exports to France of pullovers from a neighbouring country, even though everyone knows about the fraud and legal proceedings are to be taken in connection with 96 infringements uncovered by the French authorities in respect of false indication of origin. It is high time there was a change in attitude.
Emnet nord-syd er temaet for en virkelig fælles økonomisk politik i Fællesskabet, både indadtil og i forholdet til omverdenen.
This policy has resulted — as the industrial production statistics for textiles and clothing clearly show — in the gradual collapse of the industrial potential of undertakings in the textile sector through unfair competition on the Community textile market.
Men Welshbetænkningen tillader os slet ikke alvorligt at nærme os denne problematik, og jeg vil sige, at den tværtimod begunstiger en fastholden ved den opfattelse, at multifiberarrangementet, sådan som det er, er tilstrækkeligt til at afgrænse en fællesskabspolitik på dette område, mens det derimod forholder sig helt anderledes: en fællesskabspolitik findes ikke, og betænkningen løser ikke de problemer, der er på tapetet.
Faced with growing problems, these industries are unable to cope with the need to readjust as they must if they are ever to overcome their difficulties and if we are to see a full return, as of course we hopefully shall, to free competition.
I stedet for at imødekomme udviklingslandenes behov imødekommer vi i dag de virksomheders interesser, som flytter deres produktion til Asien for at undgå fagforeningernes pres.
They are having doubts about the scope and effective ness of a third Multifibre Arrangement unless it conforms more closely to the realities of European industry.
Man må heller ikke glemme, at blandt importerne fra udviklingslandene er de, der lægger baghold for den europæiske produktion, tre meget specielle lande:
But the Commission must not, in our view, wait until 1982 and the signing of a new Multifibre Arrangement before taking suitable measures, measures that are urgent and imperative, such as the harmonization of
for Fællesskabet og i forholdet til den tredje verdens lande.
Everyone is also aware of the importance of the textile industry for employment in the Community: 9-5% of all jobs in industry, 8% of the gross domestic product.
Denne globale forhandling — som konkret er selve essensen af nord-syd-forholdet — er den tredje verdens krav, som Norden altid har sagt »nej« til.
Another factor in the situation is the jobs lost over the years.
Det forekommer mig i dag, hr. Frischmann, at være en lidt kompliceret sag, dersom man kun følger en protektionistisk linje.
You have already been given the figures.
Vi må se, hvordan denne kan kombineres med en forhandling, der tager hensyn til den tredje verdens lande.
However, this industry still employs 25 million people in the Community and it is time, high time, if we want to safeguard these 25 million jobs, that we did something about it, and the sooner the better.
I denne situation og indtil man når frem til en virkelig fri vareudveksling på internationalt plan og til fuld gensidighed i de betingelser, som de forskellige lande praktiserer i tekstilhandelen, må multifiberarrangementet vedblive at øve sin regulerende funktion.
It is also vital that something be done to improve surveillance procedures to assist in the detection of frauds, which apparently will have to wait until the Commission's proposed directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on the indication of origin has been adopted.
Mens man i udviklingslandene bør undgå endnu mere farligt at tilskynde til en industrialisering, der udelukkende er koncentreret om tekstilsektoren, kan man i de industrialiserede lande og i særdeleshed i EØF ikke yderligere forværre underskudet på betalingsbalancen og arbejdsløsheden, thi inden for Fællesskabet anslås underskudet i denne sektor for- 1980 til omkring 7 000 milliarder lire, og nedgangen i beskæftigelsen i de sidste år til omkring 200 000 om året, hvad hr. Filippi for resten tidligere har nævnt.
What are the main causes behind the disappearance of jobs in the textile industry that overyone has referred to? Without doubt one could make the point, in the first place, that whilst the 1977 trade agreements were successful in checking the increase in the volume of imports, the rate of increase was still considerably greater than the rate of growth in domestic consumption.
I særdeleshed bør Fællesskabet vedblive at fastsætte et samlet maksimum for hvert af de følsomme produkter, for al import fra lande, der leverer varer til lave priser, inden for rammen af et overslag over den samlede mængde af hvert produkt, der importeres fra hvert land uden for Fællesskabet.
Taking the figure for the United States as 100, the hourly wage costs are only 5 in Thailand, 10 in India, 13 in Morocco, whereas they rise to 77 in Spain, 80 in Ireland, 90 in the United Kingdom, 135 in France, 143 in Denmark and Italy, 167 in Germany, 183 in the Netherlands and 186 in Belgium.
Den årlige vækst af de nævnte maksimalsatser bør være korrelater til det øgede forbrug, således at man kan stabilisere importernes indtrængningsgrad i overensstemmelse med den sektorpolitik, der blev fastsat af Ministerrådet i 1977.
Se we have hourly wage costs varying between 5 and 186! A fourth cause is the excessive preferences accorded to certain countries, notably the Mediterranean countries, which have distorted the protection schemes introduced in 1977.
Vi mener derfor ikke at kunne tiltræde Welshbetænkningen, som undersøger sektoren på en helt speciel måde, isoleret, og ikke — som det allerede er sagt af hr. Filippi og fru Castellina — i sammenhæng med en fælles europæisk industri- og socialpolitik.
In conclusion, I should like to say that the most important thing is to encourage and aid restructuring in the textile industry to make it competitive.
Hvad endelig angår USA, må man med fasthed forfølge et generelt arrangement mellem de industrialiserede lande og især mellem EØF og USA både med hensyn til en ligelig fordeling af importen fra lande med lave lønninger og med hensyn til en ligevægtig udveksling af tekstilvarer mellem de to områder.
Mr de la Malène. — (FR) Mr President, having dealt with the iron and steel industry, having dealt with the automotive industry, we are now turning our thoughts to one of the Community's other major industrial sectors which is experiencing very severe problems, as it has done in the past and will continue to do in the future.
Når man ser på vareudvekslingens faktiske udvikling inden for de sidste år på tekstilområdet, konstaterer man, at Fællesskabets position over for lande uden for Fællesskabet er alvorligt svækket.
Let me review the situation in the textile industry: I have already been preceded in this by the rapporteurs and by those who spoke before me, so I will not take too much time over it.
Ikke blot er
Everyone is aware of the
Alt afhænger af præsident Reagans gode vilje — siges det — til senest i 1981 at løse eller fremskynde løsningen af problemet om afvigelse i forhold til olie prisen.
These are a few of the main causes to which everyone has referred in his individual assessment of the situation.
Af hans gode vilje afhænger også løsningen af
The question is, what can we do? What must we do?
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
Debates of the European Parliament de la Malène
Sådanne længselsfuldt ventede reguleringer burde finde sted inden 1985, med mindre den amerikanske kongres er af anden mening.
President. — I call the Group for the Technical Coor­dination and Defense of Independant Groups and Members.
De kræver, at Kommissionen forhandler om en ny multifiberaftale, i forbindelse med hvilken ikke alene beskæftigelsen inden for den europæiske tekstilindustri beskyttes, men i forbindelse med hvilken man desuden også sikrer i særdeleshed denne europæiske industri en livsvigtig ekspansionsmargin.
Secondly, we have to enter into immediate negotia­tions with the United States to persuade them in the first place to restrict their exports of fibres and textiles, and then to lower their tariff barriers in the textile and clothing sectors in respect of our own exports and those of other countries, particularly the poorest ones.
For øjeblikket må vi imidlertid beklage hr. Welsh's betænkning på grund af dens ufuldkommenheder, dens mangel på en helhedsopfattelse af de sociale og industrielle problemer i almindelighed, og dens over drevne villighed til kun at lytte til de store distributionskæder. tionskæder.
Finally, and this is the essential aspect of this new policy, renegotiate the Multifibre Arrangement on new terms laid down in the Council's mandate.
Den 2. december 1980 trådte de europæiske tekstilarbejdere i aktion for at forsvare deres retmæssige interesser. Kommissionen må til at opfatte informationen og høringen af de europæiske tekstilarbejdere alvorligt.
Mrs Castellina. — (IT) Mr President, this discussion on the renewal of the Multifibre Arrangement could have been the occasion for Parliament to make a more general and more concrete study of certain topics which in this Chamber are too often the pretext for empty words.
Ellers er der fare for, at det sociale klima i denne sektor og det politiske klima i Fællesskabet bliver alvorligt forstyrret.
The North­South Dialogue is one such topic; a truly common economic policy for the Community, internally and externally, is another.
I dette konkrete tilfælde forkaster vi både en liberalistisk løsning og en virkelig forældet protektionisme.
The Welsh report, however, does not permit us to face up to these problems seriously.
Vi ønsker, at man går ad en tredje vej, nemlig den sunde fornufts vej, på hvilken man i første række beskytter beskæftigelsen i Fællesskabet, og på hvilken man ligeledes sikrer reelle udviklingsmuligheder for de virkelige udviklingslande. Men så skal det være under acceptable og sociale forudsætninger. ninger.
It encourages instead the persistence of the belief that the Multifibre Arrange­ment, such as it is, suffices to define a Community policy in this area, which is in fact something quite different: there is no Community policy, and the report does not solve the problems now facing us.
Således skulle Vesten have ydet sit bidrag til løsningen af udviklingsspørgsmålet. Denne vrangforestilling lever ikke alene hos bestemte professorer, men har, tror jeg, endog opnået borgerret i bestemte af Kommissionens afdelinger.
The U.S. has ψε advantage not only of more advanced technology but also of non­unionized, unprotected manpower in the southern states, working at almost Asiatic costs, with salaries lower than those in Italy, as American unions themselves confirm.
Det er, tror jeg, på høje tid, at der sættes en stopper , for sådanne opfattelser.
Perhaps we could apply a social clause in this regard.
Hvad står der nemlig på spil?
What kind of new terms should we be thinking of?
Helt konkret forventer vi derfor også følgende af Kommissionen: den må forhandle om en multifiberaftale, der går ud på at sikre beskæftigelsen i Fælles skabet og på at give de virkelige udviklingslande reelle udviklingsmuligheder både kvantitativt og kvalitativt.
Thirdly, they should take into consideration the price, and not just the quota as hitherto, of the imported products in relation to that of European products, so as to put a stop to the 'social dumping' practised by some countries.
Dette indebærer, at man ikke blot i aftalen fast sætter bestemmelser om importens omfang, men lige ledes, at der deri optages en social bestemmelse, som sikrer de pågældende arbejdstagere sociale minimumsnormer og fagforeningsrettigheder.
Fourthly, they should take account of the need to maintain the present pattern of international trade and to encourage exporting countries, in particular the ACP countries of the Lomé Convention, which are among the poorest.
Arbejderne inden for denne sektor kan allerede glæde sig over en meget stærk arbejdsrytme.
This tax would form part of the Community's own resources and would have to be allocated exclusively for financing the new European textile policy.
Endvidere begynder indførelsen af mikroelektronik og af andre nye teknikker at være en trussel for beskæftigelsen inden for denne nøglesektor.
Finally, we have to take into account the need to maintain strict control over the outward processing traffic and penalize the numerous frauds uncovered.
For det andet må aftalen denne gang også give en vandtæt garanti for, at de maksimale stigninger i importen, som man er blevet enige om, virkelig respekteres.
Contradictions certainly do exist, and they are complex, but to resolve them it would suffice to adopt decisive measures to strike at the threat not to capital — which goes where it wills — but to the textile workers, who cannot go else­where.
Og jeg tænker her først og fremmest på beklædningsindustrien.
Above all, one cannot deal as Mr Welsh has done with,the question of the recession.
Vi må slå fast, at importordningen ofte angår interesserne hos de mennesker, der til produktionen kun har et bord og fire stole.
It is indeed necessary to revise the percentage — now 6% — for imports from Third World countries, but this should be done with a view to aiding the developing countries and closing off the places of refuge for western capital.
Ville det ikke være ønskeligt at sammenkoble denne import med interesserne hos dem, der i medlemsstaterne selv beskæftiger sig med en bestemt produktion for at sikre dem bedre overlevelsesmuligheder?
No longer 6%, then — because in the present reces­sion this would be tantamount to a complete liberali­zation impossible today — but a differentiated revi­sion, without involving the Lomé countries, which
Som om alt dette endnu ikke var tilstrækkeligt, leger man igen med tanken om handelspolitiske indrømmelser, som vel engang vil rette et skæbnesvangert anslag imod denne efter min opfattelse livsnødvendige sektor.
Those, then, are the broad principles that have been guiding our group's discussions and the measures that we recommend.
Man blev imidlertid advaret. Arbejderne i den europæiske tekstil- og beklædningsindustri har snart opbrugt deres tålmodighed, og jeg vil gerne under strege, at det drejer sig om en sektor, som i de fleste europæiske lande kan være et forbillede for fagbevæ
Accordingly, we accept most of the proposals contained in the motion for a resolution but we want to take them a stage further, sooner and further, especially as regards laying down a proper common policy in the textile sector and as regards the setting up of ad hoc financing for this policy.
læderindustriarbejdere, der er repræsentativ for alle europæiske tekstil- og konfektionsindustriarbejdere, om forhandlingernes forløb.
Secondly, it is necessary to formulate a common European policy towards the United States, accepting Gilles Martinet's proposal.
Desuden er følgende vigtigt for os: Vi vil med det verdensomspændende tekstilarrangement få den nødvendige tid til at trække vejret.
Third, the oft-mentioned regulation concerning outward processing traffic must be applied without delay: certainly not a regulation following Mr Welsh's suggestions, which favour big business, but rather a regulation which can succeed in preventing the multi nationals from by-passing the rules for imports.
Vi vil, at der i moderat tempo sker en tilpasning af vores tekstilindustri til de moderne vilkår og til de udfordringer, vi står overfor.
The Italian right, therefore, shares the open approach adopted by the Community in regard to international trade, but laments the fact that there is no reciprocity on textile trade on the part of the other countries concerned, whether they are industrialized, like the USA and Canada, or whether they are in a relatively advanced stage of development.
I øvrigt kan De, hr. Haferkamp, være overbevist om, at vi ikke betragter multifiberarrangementet som en trojansk hest, hvormed der bliver indført nye protektionistiske forholdsregler.
In fact, if one considers the effective evolution of trade in the textile sector over the last few years, one can see that the Community's position in respect to the extraCommunity countries has been seriously weakened.
