Med henblik på samlingen i Rådet (arbejds- og socialministrene) den 9. juni 1988 skal behandlingen af de forskellige forslag, som er eller bliver forelagt af Kommissionen på dette område, ifølge formand skabets tidsplan have prioritet.
Looking forward to the meeting of the Labour and Social Affairs Council set for 9 June 1988, the presi­dency's timetable gives priority to consideration of the various proposals which the Commission has put for­ward or will be putting forward in this area.
Imidlertid afhænger overholdeisen af denne tidsplan ikke blot af Rådet, men også af Kommissionen og af Europa-Parlamentet, og Rådet har fuld tillid til, at fristerne i Fællesakten overholdes.
But whether or not this timetable is adhered to depends not only on the Council but also on the Commission and the European Parliament, and the Council has every confidence that the deadlines laid down in the Single Act will be respected.
Adam-Schwaetzer. — (DE) Rådet har rent faktisk fået forelagt visse direktivforslag, andre vil blive forelagt.
PEARCE (ED). — Mr President, because you will not rule on this now — if that is what you are saying — you are denying me the chance to ask my question.
Her har Parlamentet altså rig mulighed for at øve indflydense på rækkefølgen, dvs. også på prioriteringen ved gennemførelsen af den sociale samhørighed og i dette tilfælde navnlig ved gennemførelse af den bedst mulige arbejdsbeskyttelse. skyttelse.
If you cannot answer me in the course of this Question Time, I will accuse the Bureau of Par­liament of trying to stop a debate on the European Community's attitude to President Waldheim and, in particular, preventing the country that holds the Council Presidency from giving us its views today.
Bonde (ARC). — Vil rådsformanden forsikre os, at anvendelsen af artikel 118 A under ingen omstændigheder medfører bestemmelser, som forringer arbejdsmiljøet eller umuliggør forbedringer af arbejdsmiljøreglerne i et enkelt medlemsland?
PRESIDENT. — Mr Pearce, I told you I will ask the President why this question was declared inadmissible and whether that decision is justified. It will certainly come before the Bureau or the enlarged Bureau tomorrow.
Alvarez de Paz (S). — (ES) Fru rådsformand, Deres svar er lidt tvetydigt.
ALVAREZ DE PAZ (S). — (ES) I find your reply rather ambiguous, Madam President-in-Office.
Det var tilfredsstillende, for så vidt som der taltes om, at Parlamentets og Rådets deltagelse er vigtig for overholdelse af tidsplanen.
The part referring to participation by Parliament and the Commission in the timetable is quite satisfactory.
Men at disse forslag er til behandling, er kun, hvad vi har vidst i lang tid.
But to tell us that these proposals are under consideration does not add anything to what we have already known for a long time.
Der er mange forslag, der er til behandling i Rådet; jeg ville snarere sige, som »sover de retfærdiges søvn«, og dette er skadeligt for den sociale samhørighed i Europa.
A large number of proposals are cur­rently 'being examined' by the Council, or rather gathering dust in its offices, which is counterproduc­tive in terms of European social cohesion.
Om : Den manglende eksekvering af Domstolens domme
My concern has therefore not been allayed.
Kan Rådet oplyse, hvilke midler Fællesskabet er i besiddelse af med henblik på at tvinge en medlemsstat til at gennemføre en af Domstolen afsagt kendelse?
I would like rather more definite support to be given to this aspect of the Single Act, and I would like to hear about a timetable now.
I øvrigt kan jeg henvise til forhandlingen den 11. fe bruar i år, hvor hr. Wolfgang Voigt udførligt rede gjorde for Rådets holdning til de indholdsmæssige spørgsmål.
Matters are not being dealt with on an equal footing — there is a timetable for the market and it is very worrying that we have nothing even resembling one concerning economic and social cohesion.
Vazquez Fouz (S). — (ES) Fru rådsformand, jeg vil gerne stille et tillægspørgsmål i forbindelse med den redegørelse, De netop har givet.
Debate on topical and urgent subjects of major importance (announcement): see Minutes.
Manglende overholdel-
See Annex 'Question Time'.
Adam-Schwaetzer se af denne forpligtelse kan medføre, at Kommissionen indleder den overtrædelsesprocedure, der omhandles i EØF-Traktatens artikel 169.
But each Member State is also free to maintain its own levels of safety and health protection which have evolved out of the past.
Marck (PPE). — (NL) Det er let, når den ene institution henviser til den anden, men det giver os natur ligvis ikke noget svar.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER. — (DE) As you know, the Commission is required under the Treaties to make proposals, but not the Council.
Jeg konstaterer, at en række medlemsstater undlader at efterkomme Domstolens domme. Har Rådet aldrig drøftet dette?
The Council is required to debate the proposals once Parliament has given its opinion.
Glæder rådsformanden sig herover?
Subject: Non-enforced Court of Justice judg ments
Kunne rådsformanden for det andet oplyse, om Det Forenede Kongeriges regering officielt har modsat sig momsforslagene i Lord Cockfields forslag om Det Indre Mar ked?
In recent years, the number of Court of Justice judgments not enforced has increased.
Her er det visselig muligt at give spørgsmålet om, hvad der er en rimelig frist, en bred fortolkning, men der er her alt i alt tale om en sag, som ikke i første række vedrører Rådet.
The Council has also noted that Parliament, in its two resolutions debated here on 11 February 1988 and approved on 12 February, addressed its demands primarily to the Commission.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Hutton (H982/87):
Can the Council say what powers the Community possesses to compel a Member State to enforce a Court of Justice judgment?
Adam-Schwaetzer. — (DE) Rådet har endnu ikke ud førligt beskæftiget sig med de af Kommissionen forelagte forslag om harmonisering af de indirekte skatter og afgifter.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER, President-in-Office of the Council. — (DE) The Council has pointed out to Parliament on many occasions that it is the job of the Commission, not the Council, to ensure that the Treaty, and measures enacted by the institutions on the basis of the Treaty, are implemented.
Desuden påhviler det ikke Rådet at kom mentere Den Europæiske Domstols domme.
VÁZQUEZ FOUZ (S). — (ES) I should like to put a supplementary question to the President-in-Office, arising from what she has just said.
I dette tilfælde er det op til Det Forenede Kongerige at drage konsekvensen, og hvad angår Deres andet spørgsmål, kun jeg naturligvis som rådsformand ikke foregribe Rådets afgørelse i disse meget vanskelige og i mange stater også heftigt omdiskuterede spørgsmål, fordi der endnu ikke i dag kan siges noget om i hvilken retning afgørelsen i sidste række vil gå.
A whole series of directives is being prepared, and this Assembly would like to know what matters these draft directives deal with and what priorities the Council has set.
Agter Rådet af hensyn til en forbedret gennemskuelighed nu under det tyske formandskab at gøre arbejdsplanen for Rådet af Handelsministre tilgængelig for Parlamentet, sådan som det har anmodet om?
Under Article 171 of the EEC Treaty the Member States must take measures to comply with rulings of the Court of Justice.
Pearce (ED). - (EN) Vil Rådet nu med henblik på en forbedret gennemskuelighed tilsende Parlamentet arbejdsplanen for Rådet for Det Indre Marked med hensyn til associerede lande og deres handelsforbindelser med Fællesskabet, navnlig Østrig, indtil der ikke længere hersker mistanke om dette lands præsident? dent?
If they fail to meet this obligation, the Commission can initiate the procedure provided for in Article 169 of the EEC Treaty.
Adam-Schwaetzer, formand for Rådet. — (DE) Rådet er helt villigt til regelmæssigt at tilsende Europa-Parlamentet formandskabets delprogram for gennemførelse af Det Indre Marked.
MARCK (PPE). — (NL) It is easy for one institution to refer to another, but that does not give us an answer.
Desuden har det tyske formandskab forelagt Europa-Parlamentets tjeneste grene sin arbejdsplan for første halvår 1988.
I note that a number of Member States are failing to give effect to the findings of the Court of Justice.
Rådet glæder sig over det øgede samarbejde mellem institutionerne. tionerne.
Has the Council never debated the matter? It is after all a question of some importance within the framework of the implementation of the Treaty.
Adam-Schwaetzer. — (DE) Formandskabets program for det første halvår af 1988 blev forelagt Dem her i januar af rådsformanden, udenrigsminister Genscher.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER. — (DE) There are indeed a number of draft directives currently before the Coun cil, and others are yet to be put to us.
Heri tages der også udførligt stilling til udviklingen i Fællesskabets eksterne forbindelser.
As regards prior ities in approving them, I will say again that of course their consideration by the European Parliament will also play a part here.
Desuden tages der deri udførligt stilling til udviklingen i Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde.
In addition, Parliament also has a duty, of course, to address pro posals concerning the directives envisaged to the Com mission.
Jeg tror, at dette er et godt grundlag for Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer til vurdering af, hvad rådsformandskabet påtænker at gøre i første halvår af 1988.
Parliament thus has a wealth of opportunities to influence the course of events, and the priorities to be followed in bringing about social cohesion and, in this case in particular, securing the highest possible standards of occupational safety and health.
Hutton. — (EN) Jeg takker rådsformanden inderligt for hendes meget nyttige svar.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER. — (DE) I can only repeat that this really is a matter for the Commission.
Kan hun give os en forsikring om, at dette fremragende initiativ fra det tyske formandskab side vil blive fulgt op af alle efter følgende formandskaber fremover, hvad angår Rådet for Det Indre Marked?
Under the Treaty the Commission was given a procedure whereby, if rulings by the European Court of Justice are not acted upon within a reasonable time, attention can be drawn to the matter and it can be investigated.
Kan hun oplyse Parlamentet om, hvad der er til hinder for, at Parlamentet mod tager tilsvarende tekniske oplysninger om arbejdet i alle de forskellige Råd?
The question of what constitutes a reasonable time is doubtless susceptible of a broader interpretation, but on the whole this is a matter on which the Council is not primarily answerable.
Habsburg (PPE). — (DE) Fru rådsformand, De har allerede sagt det væsentligste, men jeg vil dog gerne spørge, om De virkelig anser det for rigtigt, at man ud fra ren og skær indenrigspolitisk demagogi diskriminerer en europæisk stat som Østrig på en sådan måde.
BONDE (ARC). — (DA) Will the President-in-Office give us an assurance that the use of Article 118 (a) will in no circumstances lead to rules which diminish working conditions or make it impossible to improve the rules on working conditions in an individual Member State?
Adam-Schwaetzer. — (DE) Det tyske formandskab har med glæde fulgt Parlamentets forslag fra januar om at videreføre den model, som det danske for mandskab indførte sidste år, fordi vi anser den for meget fornuftig.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER. — (DE) For the first time it is specified in the Single European Act that the level of worker safety and health — but in other areas the level of protection for consumers also — must be set as high as possible.
Det er også nødvendigt, for med alles og ikke mindst medlemsstaternes samtykke styr kes Parlamentets rettigheder ved vedtagelse af de di rektiver, der sigter på gennemførelse af Det Indre Marked.
Article 118(a) also says that this does not prevent any Member State from maintaining or introducing more stringent measures for the protection of working conditions compatible with the Treaty. We shall of course endeavour to attain optimum levels of
Adam-Schwaetzer. — (DE) Det var ganske vist ikke noget spørgsmål, hr. Habsburg, men det giver mig
In the interests of improved transparency, will the Council now make available to Parliament the planning of the work in the Internal Market Council during the German Presidency as requested by Parliament?
Rådets tilbud, og vi lægger naturligvis vægt på, at også disse forhandlinger fortsættes, for vi behandler jo forhandlingerne med Comecon-landene meget konstruktivt.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER, President-in-Office of the Council. — (DE) The Council will be happy to make the presidency's ongoing programme for completion of the internal market available to the European Parliament on a regular basis.
Om : Landbrugsstabilisatorer lejlighed til endnu en gang at henvise til, at det tyske rådsformandskab lægger meget stor vægt på samarbejdet med EFTA-landene.
The German presidency has also given the European Parliament its plan of work for the first half of 1988.
Jeg tror også, at dette er grundlaget for et samarbejde med alle EFTA-lande.
The Council welcomes this increase in interinstitutional cooperation.
Vil Rådet efter afslutningen af topmødet den 11. og 12. februar oplyse Parlamentet om, hvilke fremskridt der er sket med hen syn til landbrugsstabilisatorer?
PEARCE (ED). — In the interests of improved transparency, will the Council now make available to Parliament the planning of the work in the Internal Market Council as regards associated countries and their relationships tradewise with the Community and, in particular, as regards Austria until such time as the cloud of suspicion over the Presidency of that country is removed?
Formanden. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 5 blive besvaret skriftligt (')·
HUTTON (ED). — I thank the President-in-Office most warmly for her very helpful answer.
Om : Handels- og samarbejdsaftalen EØF-Rumænien
Would she give us an assurance that this excellent initiative by the German presidency will be followed by all successive presidencies in the future in regard to the Internal Market Council?
Er det på tide at tage forhandlingsmandatet for handels- og samarbejdsaftalen EØF-Rumænien op til fornyet behandling? ling?
Would she tell the House what difficulties prevent corresponding technical information about the work of all the sectoral councils being given to this Parliament?
For manden for Rådet (landbrug) har allerede den 18. fe bruar haft lejlighed til over for landbrugsudvalget at gøre rede for de resultater, der er opnået i landbrugs sektorer.
I think that provides the Members of the European Parliament with a good idea of what the Council presidency proposes to do in the first half of 1988.
Europa-Parlamentet er i vidt omfang blevet orienteret om enkelthederne vedrørende de områder, hvor der er opnået enighed, og som er gengivet i de offentliggjorte konklusioner efter Det Europæiske Råds samling.
HABSBURG (PPE). — (DE) You have already covered the ground, but I should just like to ask if you think it is really right to discriminate this way against a European State like Austria, for purely internal political reasons?
Adam-Schwaetzer, formand for Rådet. — (DE) Van skelighederne i forhandlingerne mellem Fællesskabet og Rumænien skyldes de to partners forskellige ud gangspunkt.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER, — (DE) The German presidency welcomed the suggestions made in Parliament in January that the model introduced by the Danish presidency the year before should be continued, because we regard it as a very good thing.
Fællesskabet mener, at formålet med for handlingerne bør være, at handelsaftalen af 1980, hvis muligheder langtfra er udtømt, suppleres med et samarbejdsafsnit.
It is necessary, too, because with the approval of us all and the express approval of the Member States, Parliament now has greater powers over the enactment of directives aimed at bringing about the internal market.
Rumænien ønsker til gengæld at ændre bestemmelserne i den nuværende handelsaftale væsentligt med henblik på en større liberalisering.
As for the continuation of discussions, Question Time offers a regular chance to look at things in detail, and I think this is a path we shall follow in the future also.
Rådet mener, at de grundlag, det foreslår for en ny aftale, er af en sådan art, at de muliggør en positiv udvikling af forbindelserne mellem de to parter.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER. — (DE) That is not a ques tion as such, but it gives me a chance to make the point once again that the German presidency of the Council attaches very great importance to cooperation with EFTA.
Under de foreliggende omstændigheder agter Rådet der for ikke at ændre det forhandlingsmandat, der blev vedtaget i december 1986.
As you are aware, there was a meeting in Brussels at the beginning of February between the Internal Market Ministers of the European Com munity and the EFTA Member States to explain the continuing work being done towards completion of the internal market and to ensure a comprehensive flow of information.
I øvrigt vil initiativet til at ændre mandatet kun kunne komme fra Kommissionen, som fører forhandlingerne på Fællesskabets vegne. ne.
I think this is the right basis for cooperation with all the EFTA Member States.
Er hun overbevist om, at niveauet, navnlig i kornsektorerne, er tilfredsstillende?
PRESIDENT. — As the author is not present, Ques tion No 5 will be answered in writing.1
Newton Dunn (ED). — (EN) Vil rådsformanden note re sig, at rumænerne netop ensidigt har givet afkald på deres status som mestbegunstiget nation i deres handelsaftale med De Forenede Stater som følge af menneskerettigheder og emigrationsfrihed?
STEVENSON (S). — As progress towards the inter nal market has as one of its major integral parts the harmonization and approximation of indirect taxation, would the President-in-Office comment on two particular points? Firstly, the recent Court judgment designed to end zero-rating on certain optical services in the United Kingdom.
Det er en ny faktor, som netop er indført i de sidste par uger.
Does the President-in-Office welcome that?
Vil Rådet tage det til efterretning — hvis Kommissionen foreslår det — og følgelig foreslå et ændret forhandlingsmandat over for Rumænien?
Secondly, could the President-in-Office tell the House whether the UK Government has formally objected to the VAT proposals contained in the internal market proposals from Lord Cockfield?
Adam-Schwaetzer. — (DE) Alle dele af afgørelserne fra Bruxelles tages seriøst af medlemsstaterne; det er jeg helt overbevist om.
Question No 6, by Mr Newton Dunn (H-1007/87):
Derfor er stabilisatorerne ud formet, som de er.
Subject: EEC-Romania trade and cooperation agreement
Det rammer både vin, korn, mælk, sukker, fårekød og oliefrø, med andre ord hele stabilisatorområdet; lad mig endnu en gang understrege, at jeg er helt overbevist om, at alle medlemsstater tager deres forpligtelser i henhold til Bruxellesaftalen seriøst.
Has the time come to review the negotiating man date for the EEC-Romania trade and cooperation agreement?
Adam-Schwaetzer. — (DE) Kommissionens mandat for forhandlingerne med Rumænien er udformet til strækkelig fleksibelt; Rådet bestræber sig i øvrigt altid på at udforme Kommissionens forhandlingsmandater således, at Kommissionen virkelig har noget at for handle om.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER, President-in-Office of the Council. — (DE) The difficulties in the negotiations between the Community and Romania stem from the
Morris (S). — (EN) Det første forsøg på en stabilisatorpolitik var indførelsen af en mælkekvotaordning.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER. — (DE) The Council has not yet examined in any depth the Commission proposals on harmonization of indirect taxation.
Den ordning havde skrækkelige følger i Wales, hvor visse områder oplevede en enorm stor arbejdsløshed, idet mejeriarbejdere, transportarbejdere og landarbej-
Nor is it the Council's place to comment on rulings by the European Court of Justice. In this case it is up to the United Kingdom to draw the consequences, and as to the further import of the honourable Member's ques tion, I naturally cannot as President-in-Office of the Council anticipate what the Council's decision in these extremely difficult and in many countries very emotive questions will be, because it is not as yet possible to see how they will be resolved.
Jeg er helt sikker på, at disse foranstaltninger vil ram me alle de landmænd, hvis indtægter primært stammer fra dyrkning af korn, meget hårdt; det samme gælder for dem, der rammes af stabilisatoterne i vinog fårekødssektoren.
The European Parliament has already been broadly briefed on the details of this agreement, which were published as an integral part of the conclusions follow ing the European Council meeting.
Det er jo også rigtigt, at vi har pålagt landmændene hårde betingelser, hvorved der i de fleste af vore lande i de næste år vil indtræde en strukturændring i landbruget i retning af det af os alle ønskede mål, nemlig en nedbringelse af overproduktionen af landbrugsprodukter.
Despite the considerable sacrifices demanded of producers, the agree ment has the virtue of- marking out for the next few years the framework within which the agricultural policy can develop further and at the same time of taking the necessary precautions to stem the production of further surpluses.
Jeg tror, at vi først må omsætte Bruxelles-afgørlserne i praksis og nøje iagttage deres følger.
fact that the two parties are approaching these negotiations with different objectives in mind.
Jeg er dog helt sikker på, at der med disse enstemmigt trufne afgørelser blev taget et vigtigt skridt i retning mod en god fremtid.
The Council believes that relations between the two sides can develop further in a positive way on the basis of a new agreement along the lines it has proposed.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 8 af Papakyriazis (H1037/87):
As things stand, it thus has no plans to change the negotiating mandate laid down in December 1986.
Adam-Schwaetzer. — (DE) Jeg har fuld forståelse for den af det ærede medlem udtrykte bekymring for mælkekvoternes følger i Wales. Også jeg kommer fra en valgkreds, hvor der i en del ikke er andre mulig heder end kvægdrift.
MCMAHON (S). — I thank the Minister for her answer.
Også vi har oplevet de følger, som mælkekvotaordningen har haft både for land mændene og mejerierne samt den videre forarbejdning.
We have had a great deal of discussion — particularly in the United King dom — about the abnormally high level fixed for cap ping the CAP.
Jeg kan imidlertid kun endnu en gang under strege, at Bruxelles-afgørelserne betyder et fremskridt for os alle, fordi de bidrager til at begrænse EFs over skud og dermed også EFs udgifter og udgiftsstigning. ning.
Will she give an assurance that there will be considerable cutbacks in the sugar sector, so that there will not be the continuing growth of sugar mountains within the Community?
Om : Fællesskabsaktion til fordel for handicappede
That is a new factor that has just come in in the last few weeks.
Alt dette er indgået i Bruxelles topmødets afgørelser.
So far I have always thought the Commission shared that view.
Agter Rådet inden for rammerne heraf af prioritere de nationale handlingsprogrammer for handicappede (som i det første program, som blev positivt bedømt)?
MORRIS (S). — The first attempt at a stabilizers policy was the introduction of a milk quota system. That system had a terrible impact in Wales where some areas experienced immense unemployment as a consequence of dairy workers, transport workers and farm workers being thrown out of work.
Stevenson (S). — (EN) Jeg lykønsker også det tyske formandskab med topmøderesultatet, om ikke andet så fordi det lykkedes helt at fjerne hindringer, der var afstedkommet af visse medlemsstater, inden topmødet fandt sted.
Would the President-in-Office now support the idea that these people — farm and dairy workers — should receive the same kind of consideration in enhanced compensation as farmers receive as outgoers and for set-aside?
Denne forlængelse var noget helt elementært og nødvendigt, netop fordi der ikke var truffet en beslutning.
Following up on the conclusion of the Summit of 11 and 12 February, can the Council inform the House what progress has been made on agricultural stabilizers?
Mit spørgsmål vedrørende stabilisatorer falder i to dele.
ADAM-SCHWAETZER. — (DE) I have every sympathy for the honourable Member's concern about the effects of the milk quotas in Wales.
