Hr. formand, jeg vil derfor råde mine kolleger i den britiske labour­gruppe til ikke at rode mere med dette budget, men at stemme for en forkastelse af budgettet som helhed som en klar besked til Europas institutio­ner om, at de må give Europas borgere noget bedre end dette.
As far as the Community's effort is concerned — and this must be primarily a conceptual effort, a grasping of the fact that the problem of the Third World is not a problem of charity but a strategic problem, one which concerns the security of Europe and of the world — if we get away from words and look at the figures, and the budget discussion allows us to do this, we can see that not only is this overall approach to the question of relations with the Third World missing, but on the domestic side we have the wrong policies, we have policies that are inadequate as far as cooperation is concerned, together with a percentage reduction in the allocations fixed by Parliament and the other institutions.
Vi er i denne forhandling foruroligede for, at de manglende prisnedsættelser på korn, som Kommis­sionen stærkt havde opfordret til, faktisk har forfal­sket det finansielle grundlag for budgettet, thi som vi har fået at vide af hr. Chrisophersen under tidligere drøftelser både i budgetudvalget og her i Parlamentet, var Kommissionens finansielle beregninger baseret på, at Ministerrådet ville vedtage Kommissionens prisforslag in toto. Det at Rådet ikke har gjort dette, særlig i forhold til kornpriserne, har faktisk forfalsket det finansielle grundlag for budgettet.
And so, Mr President, under such circumstances, what other verdict is possible, what other verdict can we express on this discussion, this draft budget, other than a clearly, decidedly negative one; and that is in the first place because there is no real definition of basic political will, and then also because, whenever this will is manifest in words, the figures flatly contradict it, as I have endeavoured to show.
Imidlertid mener vi, at det er vigtigt og nødvendigt at fremhæve følgende:
IN THE CHAIR: MR ALBER
Det vigtigste problem for Europas borgere er det fort­sat høje arbejdsløshedsniveau inden for Fællesskabet.
The main problem concerning the citizens of Europe is the high and continuing level of unemployment in the Community.
Skønt rådsformanden sagde, at det forholder sig så­dan, og igen bekræftede, at sådan må det fortsat være, så er dette budget ikke udformet på en sådan måde, at det prioriterer dette problem højere end alle andre.
Although the President-in-Office said that that is the case and reaffirmed that it must con tinue to be the case, this budget is not so drafted as to address itself to that problem as the primary problem.
Hvis vi foretager en detaljeret gennemgang af budget­tet og ser på dets hensyntagen, og udtrykkene i bud­gettet for dets hensyntagen til arbejdsløshedsproble­merne i Fællesskabet, så er der ikke meget heraf i sammenligning med varetagelsen af de 12 mio land­brugsproducenters interesser, skønt mange af dem producerer landbrugsvarer, hvoraf vi nu har store strukturelle overskud.
If we go through the budget in detail and look at the manifestations of concern for the problems of unemployment in our Community, we find that they are precious few indeed by comparison with the concern for the interests of 12 million agricultural producers, many of whom are producing agricultural products that are now in large structural surplus.
Så vi må i dette budget beklage ikke blot det fortsat høje arbejdsløshedsniveau inden for Fællesskabet, men også budgettets svigten med hensyn til af afsætte tilstrækkelige ressourcer via re­gionalfonden og socialfonden til, at vi kan tage fat på det problem, der er så langt fremme i Europas borge­res bevidsthed.
So we deplore not only the high and continuing levels of unemployment in the Community but the failure of the budget to provide adequate resources through the Regional Fund and through the Social Fund to deal with that problem which is in the forefront of the minds of the citizens of Europe.
Hvis vi reelt skal bekymre os om Europas borgere og deres behov, så er disse behov langt mere fundamentale på området beskæftigelse og beskæftigelsespolitik, end de er i forbindelse med landbruget og landbrugsstøtten.
If we are to have any real concern for the citizens of Europe and their needs, those needs are much more fundamental in the field of employ ment and employment policy than they are in that of agriculture and agricultural support.
Musso (RDE). — (FR) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, som vor ordfører, Jean­Claude Pasty, erklære­de, vil vi følge ordføreren og budgetudvalget. Vi har endelig et korrekt budget, et budget med de rette principper genindsat af Parlamentet.
Mr Tomlinson (S). — Mr President, I listend with interest earlier on when the President-in-Office, speaking about the new draft budget, said that we must use all our endeavours in pursuit of European Union and went on to say that this budget can lay down the basis for progress ori a wide range of topics.
Mit parti er også bekymret over de utilstrækkelige bevillinger på budgettet til udviklingslandene.
My party is also concerned at the inadequacy of appropriations in the budget to developing countries.
Vel er der sket noget på budgettet i forbindelse med fødeva­rehjælp, men i forhold til den tredje verdens behov er fødevarehjælp en midlertidig hindring.
Sure, there has been some movement in the budget in relation to food aid, but food aid is a temporary palliative as far as the needs of the Third World are con cerned.
Dette budget byder ikke landene i den tredje verden noget, der bare ligner tilstrækkelige ressourcer til det, der er deres afgørende behov, nemlig udviklingshjælp, det vil sige den slags bistand, der kan hjælpe den tredje verden til at kunne klare sig selv og ikke fortsat være
This budget does not offer anything like ade quate resources to the nations of the Third World for what is the real imperative, that of development assist ance, which is the kind of assistance that will help the Third World to self-sufficiency and not this continued dependence on the charity of Western Europe in the form of food aid, some of which is by its very nature destroying the agrarian economies of Third World countries.
Utilstrækkeligheder i strukturfondene — vel har der været en forøgelse, men ikke stor nok i forhold til randområderne, der
I want to deal briefly, Mr President, with some of the deficiencies of the new draft budget that we have
Musso har brug for disse strukturfonde, især hvis man tager udvidelsen i betragtning.
What I want to stress once again is the Council's incoherence, its dereliction, and even, from a certain point of a view, its surrender.
Og endelig er der spørgsmålet de integrerede middel havsprogrammer, hvor Rådet er i fuldkommen mod strid med de forpligtelser, det har indgået, og de beløb det netop har frigivet, og som ikke engang dækker de forslag, Kommissionen har fremsat.
Here again, where we have had a clear expression of political view from the directly-elected European Parliament, the Council of Ministers has in its wisdom deemed fit to ignore that advice and guidance.
Det, jeg gerne endnu en gang vil understrege, er den manglende sammenhæng, opgivelsen, for ikke ud fra et vist synspunkt at sige Rådets demission.
So, Mr President, I shall be advising my colleagues in the British Labour group not to tinker further with this budget but to vote for rejection of the budget in its entirety as a clear message to the institutions of Europe that they have got to do better on behalf of the citizens of Europe.
Lalor (RDE). — (EN) Hr. formand, under hele budgetproceduren har min gruppe stærkt fordømt den uværdige finansielle planlægning, Rådet har gen nemført ved at fremlægge et årsbudget, der kun dækkede en ni måneders periode.
Mr Filinis (COM). — (GR) Mr President, it is certainly appropriate that further progress should be made over the budget with its second reading by Par liament.
Jeg er stolt af at kunne sige, at gruppen euro pæisk demokratisk alliance har været med i dette ændringsforslag lige fra begyndelsen.
Yet we think that the following comments are necessary and essential:
Gatti (COM). - (IT) Hr. formand, de italienske kommunister vil stemme for dette budget, fordi der i forhold til den situation, vi gik ud fra i fjor, er sket betydelige ændringer og nået visse ikke uvæsentlige resultater.
Mr Gatti (COM). — (IT) Mr President, the Italian Communists will vote for this budget because considerable changes have been made in it compared with the situation from which we started last year, and some by no means negligible results have been achieved.
Det er lykkedes at finde fuld dækning for udgifterne, i særdeleshed landbrugsudgifterne; man har, om end kun i beskeden målestok, forbedret det finansielle grundlag for visse poster, deriblandt re gionalfonden, socialfonden, aktionen til fordel for de integrerede middelhavsprogrammer og visse forskningsprojekter, alt sammen betydningsfulde poster, selv om de ikke får en passende økonomisk dækning.
Expenditure has been covered in full, especially agricultural expenditure; the financial allocations for certain structural items — including the Regional Fund, the Social Fund, the IMP measures, and some research projects — have been increased, albeit modestly, and these are significant items, even though they have still not been adequately covered financially.
Man har desuden forhøjet bevillingen til fødevarehjælp.
In addition, the appropriation for food aid has been increased.
Alt i alt har man i løbet af disse måneder trods en stiuation med næsten finansiel kvælning opnået at give Fællesskabet et budget, der ganske vist, som flere af mine kolleger har sagt, er meget beskedent, men som dog åbner muligheden for dets udvikling i de kommende år.
In short, over the past few months, in a situation of financial near-asphyxiation, a budget has been produced for the Community that — whilst it is undoubtedly a very modest one, as a number of col leagues have pointed out — still leaves the way open for further development in future years.
Efter min mening vil der ikke være megen støtte til den slags, når folk erkender de eksisterende traktaters fiasko.
Nevertheless we view with concern the restriction to 120 million ECU of the overall sum of 140 million ECU originally proposed by Parliament for the IMP's.
Må jeg afslutningsvis sige, at medmindre der sker betydelige, ja meget store overførsler af nødvendige ressourcer fra Fællesskabets indre cirkel til dets ydre trekant — for at citere én af mine kendte kolleger — så vil der virkelig være grund til bekymring for Fællesskabets videreførelse, ja, for selve dets eksistens.
Such acts always embolden dictatorships, as was proved only yesterday by the draft law by the Turkish junta granting additional excessive powers to the police, such as uncontrolled telephone tapping and censorship of citizens' private mail, the power of arrest on suspicion, and the power to disband associations without recourse to legal decision.
Det drejer sig om den måde, hvorpå man — om kun for en overgangsperiode — har løst problemet om den britiske tilbagebetaling.
I am referring to the manner in which a solution has been found, albeit for a transitory period only, to the question of the British refund.
Vi har under hele proceduren søgt at godkende princippet om en sådan overgangsperiode og prøvet utvetydigt at fastholde den frist for denne mekanisme, der blev vedtaget i Fontainebleau.
We have endeavoured all along to insist that the arrangement should be transitory, and to fix beyond all question the expiry date for the mechanism that was agreed at Fontainebleau.
Vore anstrengelser har desværre ikke båret frugt; men derfor me ner vi alligevel ikke, at spørgsmålet skal henlægges.
Our efforts unfortunately did not meet with success, but that is no reason in our view to shelve the question.
Vi mener derimod, at det bør genfremsættes i forbindelse med forøgelsen af de egne indtægter, og jeg noterer, at de 1,4% af momsen, som skal træde i kraft den 1. januar 1986, vil være opbrugt i løbet af det samme år.
We think it should be reopened in the context of the increase in own resources — and I note in fact, that the 1.4% VAT, which should come into force on 1 January 1986, will be used up during that same year.
Vi vil derfor på ny med bred enighed fremhæve nødvendigheden af at indlede finansforhandlingen om en yderligere forøgelse af momsen, og det er i denne sammenhæng, at uregelmæssigheden fra Fontainebleau omsider kan elimineres.
It is necessary once again, therefore, as a matter of great urgency, to open negotiations for a further increase in VAT, and it is in that context that the anomaly of Fontainbleau can finally be put right.
Francanzani, formand for Rådet. — (IT) Hr. for mand, jeg tager kun ordet for at sammenfatte de råd, de yderligere konstruktive bidrag, der er fremkommet under denne forhandling, og for at sige, at Rådet i høj grad vil lægge vægt på Parlamentets rolle til enhver tid, en rolle som det anser for absolut væsentlig på de forskellige områder, og i særdeleshed når det gælder budgettet.
Mr Musso (RDE). — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as our spokesman Jean-Claude Pasty has announced, we shall be voting according to the recommendation of the rapporteur and the Committee on Budgets. At last we have a proper budget, one which, thanks to Parliament's efforts, is drawn up according to the correct principles.
Til sidst vil jeg sige, at når vi stemmer for budgettet, skønt vi er klar over, at det rummer visse alvorlige lakuner, skal vor stemme opfattes som et tegn på god vilje med ønsket om en styrkelse af de endnu svage, men dog tilstedeværende elementer, der vil kunne føre til et opsving for den europæiske integration.
In conclusion, therefore, our vote in favour of this budget, which we are aware has some serious deficiencies, is a sign of goodwill, so that those elements in it that are still weak but are nonetheless there, and which could lead to fresh progress with European integration, can be strengthened.
I vort oplæg har vi understreget, at der er grund til at være tilfreds med de fremskridt, der er gjort gennem dette budget, af tre grunde.
Finally, there is the case of the IMPs, where the amount allocated by the Council could scarcely be more out of line with the undertakings that it had
Den første er, at man føleligt har forøget beløbene til betydningsfuld politik, fundamental politik, som burde prioriteres.
I am pleased, at least on this point, that the Council has come to its senses and reinstated in the EAGGF, Guarantee Section, the necessary amounts to cover on-going expenditure for the next 12 months.
Som en tredje grund til tilfredshed vil jeg nævne det forhold, at mens dette budget for 1985 har været på vej, har Europa-Parlamentets rolle udviklet sig.
The third reason for satisfaction is the fact that, as the progress of drawing up this 1985 budget has gone on, so has the role of the European Parliament developed.
Vi håber, at Parlamentets rolle i budgetspørgsmål må blive større, så at der kan fastsættes terminer på kort sigt.
We hope that, by virtue of fixing short-term deadlines, Parliament's budgetary role has been extended.
Det er naturligvis klart, at dette forhold kan få betydning for de kommende år, men ikke kan have tilbagevirkende kraft med hensyn til 1985.
There have in fact been positive signs of this during the pro cess of preparing the 1985 budget.
Efter disse bemærkninger er det mig magtpåliggende også at understrege et sidste forhold i forbindelse med en vurdering, der er kommet til udtryk, idet vi netop vedrørende bistandspolitikken over for udviklingslandene har gjort alt, hvad der var juridisk muligt.
While I agree with the importance and the necessity of the Integrated Mediterranean Programme and its financing, particularly in view of the imminent enlargement, I am extremely disappointed that the additional 50 m ECU in commitments for these pro grammes was found by reducing the commitments to the Regional and Social Funds.
Det bekræftes af den kendsgerning, at Rådet under sin anden behandling af budgettet helt og holdent har godkendt Parlamentets ændringsforslag med hen syn til fødevarehjælpen.
I need scarcely remind my colleagues of the extreme importance of those two policies in terms of both creating employment and also reducing unacceptable imbalances between the rich inner circle and the poor outer periphery of the Com munity, which is by no means limited to the Mediterranean area.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
The same can be said of the Council.
Afstemningen finder sted på torsdag kl. 10.30.
In fact, I spoke of a 'developing' budget, not a perfect one.
Det samme kan siges om en del af Rådet.
Mr President, people are losing confidence in Europe.
Jeg har nemlig talt om et budget under udvikling og ikke om et optimalt budget.
We have heard a lot of talk in recent times about European Union and a new Treaty.
Der er udarbejdet et budget, hvori der er gjort alt, hvad der var muligt inden for de nuværende juridiske rammer, inden for de grænser som hverken Parlamentet eller Rådet kan overskride.
In my view, it will get little support when people recall the failure of the existing Treaties.
Jeg vil endda sige, at der er gjort mere, for hvis vi tager hensyn til den interguvernementale aftale, har vi på en måde spillet en supplerende rolle i forhold til den forøgelse af de egne ind tægter, som skulle være begyndt i 1985, men som udeblev.
I hope that we have learned from the political posturing of certain Member States over the past few years, particularly in relation to budgetary matters.
Med offentlige midler må man omgås forsigtigt og sparsommeligt, i Fællesskabet ikke mindre end i vore medlemsstater.
In the report we emphasized our grounds for satisfaction with the progress that has been made with this budget, on three counts.
Dette gælder i særlig grad problemet om de 30 millioner vedrørende renterne, som jeg selv var inde på, og som forskellige fremtrædende parlamentsmedlem mer talte om. Man kan have forskellige meninger om den sag.
This applies particularly to the question of the 30 million ECU interest which was considered by the Council at some length, and on which various Members have spoken with authority.
Jeg skal ikke komme ind på spørgsmålet, om det er rimeligt eller ikke, at der ydes renter for disse konti i nationalbankerne.
Views on this subject may differ, and I do not want to go into the pros and cons regarding the payment of interest on these Treasury accounts.
Men én ting er sikker: det er ubestrideligt, at der indtil i dag ikke er vedtaget en forordning, som forudser dette, og selv om vi teoretisk tog stilling for denne tese, ville der mangle et juridisk grundlag, hvorfor det juridisk er umuligt at opføre et beløb af denne art på budgettet for 1985.
However, one thing is certain; there is no doubt whatever that, to date, no regulation has been approved that provides for this, which means that, even though the oretically our position might be in favour of such interest payments, if there is no legal basis we cannot legally make such an entry in the budget for 1985.
Derfor er der ikke tale om manglende forståelse for så vigtige spørgsmål som bistanden til udviklingslande ne.
There is no question, therefore, of our being insensitive, where important questions such as aid to the developing countries are concerned.
Det er ikke det, der får os til at indtage en bestemt stilling til dette problem med de 30 millioner i renter.
It is not insensitivity that makes us adopt a certain line with regard to this question of the 30 million interest.
Slet ikke!
Quite the reverse!
Det skyldes derimod det juridisk umulige i at opføre en post, som hidtil ikke er forudset i nogen regel eller nogen forordning.
It is because it is legally impossible to enter an item that is so far not authorized by any rule or regualtion.
En opførelse, som derfor ville være falsk, ville få konsekvenser for budgettet som helhed netop i et øjeblik, da det forekommer mig, at et næsten enstemmigt kor har understreget, at dette budget i forhold til det oprindelige ubetinget er positivt og fortjener at blive vedtaget.
Such a phoney entry would have repercussions on the budget in general, at the very time when I think that there is a virtually unanimous view that this budget, compared with the budget as it was initially, is undoubtedly a good one and deserves to be adopted.
Det glæder mig derfor også i dag at kunne forelægge et overslag, som efter budgetudvalgets og præsidiets mening opfylder disse krav om finansiel forvaltning.
The second is that, taken overall, the budget has been strengthened, not only in purely accounting terms nor even in economic and social terms, important as these are, but as a fundamental instrument with a contribution to make to the process of building Europe, which
At overslaget har tilslutning fra såvel budgetudvalget, der er ansvarligt for bevillingerne, som fra præsidiet,
In view of this distinction between what is legal and what is politically desirable, even though many of us would like to be able to do certain things, that is impossible if there is not legal authority for so doing.
Nr. 2-327/45 de Vries temænd har Parlamentet nok af. Deres mobilitet har imidlertid i årevis ladet meget tilbage at ønske.

Francanzani given amount, an addition wa simply requested, and it was not as a rule hard to obtain.
Det gælder også for gruppernes personale.
wish to do, we shall be unable to turn our hopes into deeds.
For at bringe denne skizofrene situation til ophør vedtog man på forslag af min forgænger som ord fører, David Curry, at oprette et samrådsorgan mellem præsidiet og budgetudvalget.
To put an end to this schizophrenic situation, it was decided last year on a proposal from my predecessor, David Curry, to set up a consultative body embracing the Bureau and the Committee on Budgets.
Forhandlingerne i dette organ har været hårde.
The negotiatins in this body have been tough.
Begge parter har hældt en betydelig mængde vand i vinen, en handlemåde der i øvrigt, som medlemmerne ved, kun i forhandlinger fører til et smagfuldt resultat.
Both sides have had to climb down considerably, the only way, as Members know, to achieve acceptable results in negotiations. tiations.
Overdreven brug af dette våben er ikke alene kostbar, den skader også dets effektivitet.
Naturally, this could only affect future years, and cannot have any retrospective effect for 1985.
Hr. formand, jeg må indrømme, at jeg i denne forbindelse af og til var til mode som Honoré de Balzac, der et eller andet sted i La peau de chagrin sukker : » Vi mangler aldrig penge til vore luner.
I must admit, Mr President, that during this process I sometimes felt like Honoré de Balzac, who laments somewhere in La peau de chagrin': Nous ne manquons jamais d'argent pour nos caprices. Nous ne discutons que le prix des choses utiles ou nécessaires.
Så må man endelig fastsætte ét definitivt hjemsted for Parlamentet. Den bortødslen af offentlige midler, der er følgen af Rådet afvisning af at påtage sig sit ansvar herfor, kan anslås til små 30 millioner ECU.
Having said this, I wish also to emphasize one final point regarding the view, that was expressed in several speeches, that where the policy of aid for developing countries is concerned we have done everything that was legally possible.
Så må De tænke på lejen og indretningen af bygninger i tre byer, på transportudgifterne, på tjenesterejserne og lignende.
That this is so is confirmed by the fact that, at the second reading, the Council accepted Parliament's amendment on food aid in full.
Også i en anden henseende har jeg fortsat min for gængers arbejde.
I have also carried on from where my predecessor left off in another way, Mr President.
Som David Curry udtrykte det i november sidste år:
As David Curry said in November of last year:
Jeg tror, at det vi må gøre, er at bevæge os fra princippet om besparelser til et princip om reformer ved hjælp af strukturelle ændringer.
I think what we have to do now is to move from the principle of financial repression to a principle of reform through structural change.
