Selv om man skal tage hensyn til en vis kontinuitet, mener jeg imidlertid, at det er lige så rimeligt at kunne foretage ændringer, idet Parlamentet i mellemtiden er fornyet, så næsten halvdelen af medlem-
As market integration progresses, distortion of competition caused by the gtanting of national and regional or local aid are felt more and more keenly by those competitors who don't receive such aid. This same process may increase pressures in Member States for aid to fitms which find it difficult to compete in this more efficient market.
Speroni merne er nye. Det forekommer mig helt legitimt, at en afgørelse truffet af andre personer kan omgøres eller i det mindste ændres.
The Commission is currently investigating the new inform ation in order to establish whether it has any beating on its aid authorization and hopes shortly to conclude its examination of the case.
Jeg er derfor meget glad for at høre. at De vil bede Præsidiet om at se på denne sag igen.
The framework contains guidelines which indicate how the Commission will evaluate aid notifications which it receives.
Der er en anden ting angående demokratiet i Parlamentet, som jeg gerne vil fremhæve.
However, at that time discussions were continuing between Toyota and the local authorities about a possible package of local measures.
Jeg tilhører en politisk gruppe, der ikke er repræsenteret i Præsidiet, og jeg kan derfor tilslutte mig, at dette drøftes her i salen.
I informed Parliament that the Commission would examine the situation when discussions at local level were completed and that remains the position.
Det er kun på en måde, min gruppe ved sine ordførere kan få lejlighed til at give sit besyv med og undgå at blive holdt uden for en afgørelse af så stor betydning som den om Parlamentets hjemsted.
In recent weeks officials of the competition department have had discussions with the United Kingdom authorities in order to establish the terms under which land in Derbyshire has been sold to Toyota and under which infrastructure investment will be made.
Dette er grunden til, at selv om jeg er tilhænger af en drøftelse, er jeg ikke tilhænger af, at denne finder sted under denne mødeperiode, hvor der mangler tid til at dokumentere sig og forberede sig.
The Commission understands that sales of land to Derbyshire local authorities have not yet been com pleted and it will not be possible for the Commission to conclude its examination until all the necessary data are available.
Hvis det imidlertid skulle komme til denne drøftelse, fulgt af en afstemning, vil jeg anmode om, at der bliver mulighed for at stille ændringsforslag og at drøfte og stemme om dem.
I would stress the Commission's commitment to a fair and transparent policy in respect of the motor vehicle sector.
Formanden. — Hr. Prout, for det første er formanden ikke parat til at genåbne debatten for øjeblikket.
The framework was communicated to all Member States in December 1988.
For det andet har enhver ret til at ændre mening, og jeg kan konstatere, at De har ændret Deres radikalt i forhold til, hvad De fremførte i formiddags.
In July last year the Commission therefore opened procedures against both of those countries with the objective of convincing them to accept the framework or to impose it on them if they failed to do so.
Jeg finder på ingen måde, at jeg har overskredet mine beføjelser, eller at Præsidiet har overskredet grænserne for det mandat, der blev givet det med beslut ningen i Pragbetænkningen af 18.1.1989.
Discussions were held and in early January 1990 Spain informed the Commission that they had decided to accept the framework and will reply to all aid proposals in Spain with effect from 1 January 1990.
Formanden. — Mine damer og herrer, formanden har holdt det løfte, han har givet, og for første gang i Europa-Parlamentets historie informeret plenarforsamlingen direkte om en afgørelse truffet af Præsidiet på dette område.
In other cases such aid serves purely national objectives which can run countet to the achievement of Community objectives such as fait competition within the Community.
Hidtil er afgørelserne om ejendomspolitik i intet tilfælde blevet drøftet i plenarforsamlingen. narforsamlingen.
Therefore the Commission believes that a case-by-case examination is the only way of ensuring fair and undistorted competition in this important sectot.
Hr. Klepsch fremsatte en anmodning om præcise ring, som blev besvaret af hr. Peters og kommenteret af hr. Giscard d'Estaing.
In 1989 the Commission took two decisions applying the framework.
Efter min opfattelse er antallet af tolv mødeperioder baseret på den nuværende mødekalender, og der er selvfølgelig tale om ordinære mødeperioder i overensstemmelse med Præsidiets fortolkning.
In September it decided to approve the Italian proposal to subsidize technical innovation at Ferrari. The aid was in the form of a subsidized loan of ECU 28 million.
Jeg skal minde om, at debat ten nu har varet 47 minutter, hvilket formandskabet tillod, da det fandt det relevant efter at have drøftet emnet på mødet mellem gruppeformændene i for middags.
The Commission considered that that would not unduly distort competition, in view of the specific characteristics of the market for sports cars and in particular the low volume of production.
Formandskabet mener ikke desto mindre stadigvæk, at det er Præsidiet, der skal træffe denne afgørelse; jeg skal dog under henvisning til Den Socialististe Gruppes anmodning forelægge denne for Det Udvidede Præsidium i morgen, og hvis dette er indforstået hermed afholde afstemning.
Also in September the Commission approved aid proposed by the Portuguese authorities for Ford in order to construct a new factory in Setúbal to produce in-car audio electronics.
Formand skabet finder som nævnt ikke en afstemning relevant. vant.
It was an investment which would amount to ECU 98 million and the creation of 1 700 new jobs in the area.
Sir Christopher Prout (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, Præsidiet handler naturligvis med beføjelser, som Parlamentet har tillagt det i form af Prag-betænkningen.
PRESIDENT. — I have received three motions for resolutions with request fot an early vote to wind up the debate on the oral questions on subsidies to the automobile industry in the United Kingdom. '
Samme proces kan i medlemsstaterne øge presset med hensyn til støtte til de firmaer, som finder det vanskeligt at konkurrere på dette mere effektive marked. I betragtning af motorkøretøjssektorens betydning såvel som følsom hed besluttede Kommissionen i slutningen af 1988 at indføre en fællesskabsramme for statsstøtte til motorkøretøjsindustrien.
In addition to its work relating to the aid ftamework the Commission is also currently examining a number of other cases involving motor car producers and these are the ones which relate to the United Kingdom : Rover — in July 1988 the Commission authorized the United Kingdom authorities to write off UKL 469 m debt accumulated in the Rover Group and to pay an additional UKL 78 m in regional aid.
Denne ramme fastsætter forudgående meddelelse om enhver støtte af betyd-
In November 1989 it became clear through the report of the Controller and Auditor-General and a report published by the national
Kommissionen er for øjeblikket ved at undersøge de nye oplysninger for at finde ud af, om det har nogen betydning for denne støttegodkendelse og håber at afslutte sin undersøgelse af sagen inden længe.
When I say that, I am not necessarily blaming the Vice-President of the Commission for the lack of progress; I readily understand — just as he is obviously finding out the difficulties there are in obtaining accurate information from Her Majesty's Government relating to this particular sorry episode in the United Kingdom.
ning, uanset formålet med den, såvel som medlems staternes forpligtelse til at forelægge en årlig rapport om enhver udbetaling af støtte til motorkøretøjsproducenter. Rammen indeholder retningslinjer, som angiver, hvordan Kommissionen vil evaluere de meddelelser om støtte, som den modtager.
I have to say to the Commissioner — and this House has got to hear from him, on this — when he says we are currently investigating, that is exactly what the position was two months ago : you were 'currently investigating' ; and there comes a time when you cannot have a British Government refusing to give you fundamental facts that are essential to a proper investigation of this case.
Kommissionen mener, at rammen vil tilvejebringe en yderligere gennemsigtighed i spørgsmål om støtte med lemsstaterne og konkurrenterne imellem, som er berettigede til en konsekvent strategi, der er forene lig med Traktaten.
In the absence of an answer to that, we have to assume that there may well be a whitewash operation going on.
Rammen blev meddelt alle medlemsstaterne i december 1988.
How long can you accept 'we are currently in vestigating' ?
Rammen blev accepteret af alle medlemsstater undtagen Tyskland og Spanien. I juli sidste år anlagde Kommissionen derfor sag mod begge disse land med henblik på at få dem til at acceptere rammen eller pålægge dem at gøre det, hvis de ikke gjorde det.
How long can you vacillate ? How long can you have delay on this ?
Den 21. februar 1990 traf Kommissionen en negativ afgørelse mod Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, som kræver af Tyskland, at det fra og med 1. maj 1990 giver Kommissionen forudgående meddelelse om enhver statsstøtte, som omfattes af rammen.
When I saw the Vice-President of the Commission some two months ago in Strasbourg, on behalf of myself and my Birmingham colleague Christine Crawley, I urged upon him the maximum of disclosure, the maximum of transparency, the maximum of speed and the speediest possible enforcement of any decision come to by the Commission.
Rammen blev oprindeligt indført for en periode af to år. Senere i indeværende år vil Kommissionen skulle træffe afgørelse om, hvorvidt den skal udvides, ændres eller opgives.
But here we are two months later with apparently no more information, and that can really only be due to the fact that the British Government is failing to cooperate in this, as in so many other matters, in respect of Community responsibilities that they willingly entered into years ago.
Men på det tidspunkt var der fortsat drøftelser mellem Toyota og de lokale myndigheder om en mulig samling af lokale foranstaltninger.
When are we going to have a definitive statement ?
Jeg meddelte Parlamentet, at Kommissionen ville undersøge situationen, når drøftelserne på lokalt plan var tilendebragt, og det er fortsat positionen.
We have a right to it, you have a duty to get it, and we believe that you have a duty to give it to us as soon as you have it.
I de seneste uger har embedsmænd fra konkurrenceafdelingen ført drøftelser med de britiske myndigheder for at fastslå de betingelser, hvorpå jorden i Derbyshire er blevet solgt til Toyota, og hvorpå infrastrukturinvesteringerne vil blive foretaget.
We must send a clear notice from this House that the activities of the British Government in this respect are totally un satisfactory and are therefore unacceptable to the European Parliament.
De britiske myndigheder har lovet at tilvejebringe yderligere informationer, som Kommissionen har anmodet om.
What we have here is a situation in which we have the sale of public assets in the United Kingdom below cost, and that is a scandal at least three times over.
Det er ikke muligt at sige på nuværende tidspunkt, om projekterne indeholder elementer af statsstøtte eller ej.
It is a scandal because it cheats the British taxpayers of money which is rightly theirs and which should have accrued to them from the sale of a public asset.
Kommissionen forstår, at salget af jord til de lokale myndigheder i Derbyshire endnu ikke er tilendebragt, og det vil ikke være muligt for Kom missionen at afslutte sin undersøgelse, inden alle nødvendige data foreligger.
It cheats the other citizens of Europe by providing an unfair subsidy on top of the subsidy already agreed by the Commission and it is also a scandal because it gives a bad name to subsidies in general.
Jeg vil gerne under strege, at Kommissionen lægger stor vægt på en retfærdig og gennemsigtig politik med hensyn til motorkøretøjssektoren.
I welcome very much what the Com missioner said, at the end of his statement, about the fact that there is a useful and proper role for subsidies, but when you get governments cheating with subsidies, it gives the whole concept of subsidy itself a bad name.
Under visse omstændigheder kan statsstøtte spille en rolle i udviklingen af sektoren, og den kan medvirke til at opnå fællesskabsmålene.
MERZ (PPE). — (DE) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I very much welcome the fact that the Vice-President, as a British commissioner, has undertaken to deal with this matter.
I andre tilfælde tjener en sådan støtte rent nationale mål, som kan gå stik imod opnåelsen af fællesskabsmålene, såsom fair konkurrence i Fællesskabet.
I fully support what Mr Tomlinson said. Both the European Parliament and the Commission need reliable information on what subsidies are being granted in the Community.
Kommissionen mener derfor, at en undersøgelse sag for sag er den eneste måde på at sikre en fair og ikke-fordrejet konkurrence inden for denne vigtige sektor.
They are increasing in all Member States from year to year and this leads me to fear that Member States are incapable of coming to grips by themselves with the ever-increasing amount of aid and subsidies being granted in individual countries.
I september besluttede den at godkende det italienske forslag om at støtte tekniske innovationer hos Ferrari.
We know quite clearly that prior notification of State aids can lead to proper approvals.
Støtten var i form af et statsstøttet lån på 28 mio ecu.
We know very clearly in the case of the British Aerospace takeover of Austin-Rover that there was a very substantial agreement from the Commission in any event.
Kommissionen mente ikke, at det ville fordreje konkurrencen urimeligt i betragtning af de særlige karakteristika ved markedet for sportsbiler og navnlig den lave produktionsmængde.
Nobody could accuse the Commission of obstructing that takeover, which may be considered by some to have been necessary for the restructuring of our car industry in the United Kingdom.
Også i september godkendte Kommissionen støtte, som de portugisiske myndigheder havde foreslået til Ford med henblik på at bygge en ny fabrik i Setúbal til produktion af elektronisk audioudstyr til biler.
There was the large debt write-off, to which the Commissioner himself referred; there was the authorization of regional aid.
Det var en investering, som ville beløbe sig til 98 mio ecu og skabe 1 700 nye arbejdspladser i området.
But, in addition to that Commission agreement which amounted to a subsidy to British Aerospace already in excess of 500 million, we have quite clear evidence that other additional aid was being given in the arrangements, which was not properly disclosed in the United Kingdom and still has not been properly disclosed today.
FORSÆDE: NICOLE FONTAINE Næstformand
I would like to remind Members of what the Commission has to say in its fitst ever report on subsidies.
Formanden. — Jeg har modtaget tre forslag til beslutning med anmodning om afstemning snarest muligt som afslutning på forhandlingen. ')
The present situation is that subsidies are being paid out in the Member States of the European Community that amount to more than 3% of the gross national product of individual Member States.
Afstemningen om anmodningen om afstemning snarest muligt finder sted ved forhandlingens afslutning. ning.
I would like to ask him, howevet, three questions and I would like to have the answers to these when he sums up at the end of the debate.
Men ud over denne godkendelse fra Kommissionen, som beløb sig til en statsstøtte til British Aerospace på allerede mere end 500 mio, har vi meget klare beviser på, at der blev givet anden yderligere støtte til ordningerne, hvilket ikke kom for dagen på behørig vis i Det Forenede Kongerige, og i dag stadig ikke rigtig er kommet for dagen.
In the European Community, in my view, the only body than can adopt severe measures is the Commission.
Tomlinson (S). — (EN) Fru formand, må jeg først og fremmest sige tak for oplysningerne i Sir Leon Brittans redegørelse, selv om jeg finder indholdet af den skuffende, i vidt omfang på grund af det fuldstændige utilstrækkelige fremskridt, som hans redegørelse afspejler.
Firstly, could he please give his categoric assurance that he does not, and the Commission does not, share the view of the head of Peugeot that the 1992 programme should be halted because of the events in Eastern Europe.
Jeg henviser her navnlig til British Aerospaces overtagelse af Austin-Rover-gruppen.
We would hope that the heads of our car industries have a more optimistic view of the results of 1992.
Da jeg talte med næstformanden i Kommissionen for et par måneder siden i Strasbourg på vegne af mig selv og min kollega fra Birmingham, Christine Crawley, opfordrede jeg ham indtrængende til størst mulig åbenhed, størst mulig gennemsigtighed, størst mulig hast og den hurtigst mulige gennemførelse af enhver afgørelse, som Kommissionen måtte komme til.
Secondly, could he give us some indication as to how the Commission will be dealing with inward investment from Japan?
Men her er vi to måneder senere med tilsyneladende ikke flere oplysninger, og dette kan virkelig kun skyldes, at den britiske regering ikke samarbejder i denne sag som i så mange andre spørgsmål med hensyn til EF-ansvar, som den villigt påtog sig for flere år siden.
While European governments may welcome Japanese investment, it is important that we have a Community framework to deal with this.
Hvornår ophører igangværende undersøgelser?
I would like to remind you of the crucial sections of the Community framework for subsidies to the car industry.
Hvor længe kan man acceptere »vi er ved at undersøge sagen«?
Where else in the European Community but in the car industry do we have a market that is basically competitive and capable of competition ?
Hvor længe kan man vakle? Hvor længe kan man have forsinkelser i denne sag?
I am not referring to the competitiveness of the car industry in the world market, but purely of its competitiveness in the internal European market.
Vi får et glimt af et svar, men dette glimt har rigeligt med optimisme og mangler kendsgerninger. »Vi håber at afslutte undersøgelsen inden længe«.
Lastly, Madam President, with reference to Rover, will he please tell us when the Commission will come up with its final decision on this case?
Det var den position, vi havde for to måneder siden.
The matter is creating considerable uncertainty in the car industry, particularly in Oxford.
Det var derfor, vi ikke fik en redegørelse sidste måned, og nu får vi redegørelsen denne måned: Vi håber stadig »at afslutte undersøgelsen inden længe«.
Also does he welcome the fact that British Aerospace has confirmed that it will abide by the law?
Jeg mener, Sir Leon Brittan — og jeg siger det til Dem med den største personlige respekt — at De nu er nødt til helt klart at fremsætte en udtalelse for os og fortælle os, på hvilket tidspunkt De mener den britiske regering har misligeholdt sine forpligtelser.
Sir Leon, Vice-President, I would especially like to encourage you to achieve fast results by means of severe measures in the proceedings you have initiated against the British car industry. This is the only way for us, as the European Community, to give a clear sign to an industry that is genuinely capable of competiveness without assistance and which really does not need subsidies from the Member States and their govern ments.
Hvornår får vi en definitiv udtalelse?
My group has not tabled any motions for resolutions of its own on this report.
Vi har ret til en sådan, De har pligt til at få fat i den, og vi mener, at De har pligt at give den til os, så snart De har den.
Three motions for resolutions have been tabled : by the Socialist Group, the Liberal, Democratic and Reformist Group and by Mr James Elles.
Det, vi har her, er en situation, hvor vi i Det Forenede Kongerige har at gøre med salget af samfundsgoder under kostprisen, og det er en skandale i hvert fald i tre henseender.
JOANNY (V). — (FR) Ladies and gentlemen, the Commissioner has presented us with a long list of cases of subsidies which have been the subject of investig ations for unfair competition in certain countries within the European Community.
Det snyder de andre borgere i Europa ved at være en urimelig statsstøtte ud over den statsstøtte, som Kommissionen allerede er gået med til, og det er også en skandale, fordi det bringer statsstøtte generelt i miskredit.
When, instead of being content with talking about the environment and road safety, do we intend to turn the page and really encourage other means of transport which respect the environment, take up less space, do not carve up our countries and show consideration for safety.
Jeg glæder mig overordentlig meget over det, kommissæren sagde ved afslutningen af sin redegørelse, nemlig at statsstøtte har nyttig og behørig rolle, men når regeringer snyder med statsstøtte, bringer det hele ideen om statsstøtte i miskredit.
ELLES (ED). — Madam President, I welcome on behalf of the European Democratic Group, the statement which the Commissioner has made this afternoon on the general framework which the Commission is now undertaking in the field of aids to the car industry.
Vi har her et meget klart tilfælde, hvor Sir Leon Brittan selv sagde i slutningen af 1988, at der var opnået enighed om en fællesskabsramme for stats støtte.
So, let us stop talking about subsidies to the cat industry and let us finally provide a framework for a coherent policy for the development of communal fotms of urban, suburban and inter-city ttanspott.
Vi er helt klar over, at forudgående meddelelse om statsstøtte kan føre til behørige godkendelser. Vi er helt klar over i tilfældet med British Aerospaces overtagelse af Austin-Rover, at der i alle tilfælde var en meget væsentlig enighed fra Kommissionens side.
Unlike Mr Tomlinson, who focused all his attention on aids to one particular company, living up to his reputation as the parliamentary scourge for Eurocracy, I would like myself to focus my attention on the broader issues which the Commissioner raised, because it is indeed a matter of considerable importance for car workers in my constituency at Rover in the Cowley works in Oxford that there should be a proper framework for dealing with State aids for businesses across the European Community.
Ingen kan beskylde Kommissionen for at lægge hindringer i vejen for denne overtagelse, som nogle måske anser for at have været nødvendig
Therefore, the assurance that he has given the House this afternoon that the Commission is determined to look at the State aids for companies such as Renault and Alfa Romeo across the Community is an assurance that we are
Merz (PPE). — (DE) Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, først vil jeg gerne sige til næstformanden, at jeg på min gruppes vegne glæder mig overordentlig meget over, at han som britisk kommissær tager sig af denne sag.
WURTZ (CG). — (FR) Madam President, the Com missioner has extended his remarks beyond the case of Rover and I shall do likewise.
Jeg mener imidlertid, at vi bør vurdere denne sag ligesom striden mellem Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland og Kommissionen om vedtagelsen af fællesskabsrammen — som jeg ikke skal kommentere her — ud fra et europæisk og ikke ud fra et nationalt perspektiv.
The Commission's position, like that of certain Member States who are hiding behind it, is in fact, in the name of the sacred principles of free competition, to oppose any active industtial policy. As fat as I am concerned, the Commission's criteria for taking a decision are unacceptable.
Vi ser os i stand til at støtte alle tre beslutningsforslag.
As far as the Commission is concerned, anything which is not financially profitable does not get the go-ahead.
Jeg tilslutter mig gerne det, hr. Tomlinson sagde. Europa-Parlamentet såvel som Kommissionen har brug for oplysninger om, hvilken støtte der ydes i Fællesskabet.
So, after having refused subsidies to the French Stateowned company Renault, it has just approved a British subsidy of several billion pounds to privatize the electricity industry in the United Kingdom.
