I de sidste fire år har han energisk forsvaret Fællesskabets landbrugeres interesser, ikke mindst i Montreal.
During the last four years he has robustly defended the interests of the Community's agricultural producers — not least at Montreal.
Må jeg minde ham om. at inden da var han kommissær for konkurrenceforhold, og spørge, om han på baggrund af denne erfaring vil give os en forsikring om, at skønt det er helt legitimt at forsvare Fællesskabets producenter mod unfair konkurrence, så har forbrugerne også interesser og rettigheder, og at han ikke i sin iver efter at forsvare Fællesskabets fabrikanter vil forsøge at afskære Fæl­lesskabets forbrugere fra varer fra lande, der frem­stiller konkurrencedygtige produkter, som de gerne vil købe?
Could I remind him that before that he was Commissioner for competition and, with that experience behind him, would he give us a reassurance that whereas it is perfectly legitimate to defend Community producers from unfair trade, consumers also have interests and rights and that in his zeal to defend Community manufacturers he will not seek to cut the Community consumer off from the products of countries which make competitive products that they want to buy?
Men jeg vil sige. al Kom­missionen greb temmelig hurtigt ind i december.
Firstly, the Commissioner mentioned an investigation into shoe imports.
Det har jeg sagt i det svar. jeg allerede har givet, og jeg ønsker ikke at spilde Parlamentets t ici ved at gentage dette svar.
Could he give an indication as to when this investigation will be completed?
Andriessen. — (NL) Jeg vil ikke forsøge at skjule. nu da jeg mindes om min fortid, at jeg måske häi­den bedste uddannelse til at udfylde den funktion, som Kommissionen nu har tildelt mig.
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) I cannot help thinking, when I am reminded of my past, that I have perhaps had the best training for the post to which the Commission has now appointed me.
Det ærede medlem kan være forsikret om. at jeg ikke alene vil gøre brug af mine landbrugs­, men også af mine konkurrenceerfaringer.
The honourable Member can rest assured that I shall bear not only my agricultural experience but also my experience as Commissioner responsible for competition in mind.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 39 af Caroline Jackson (H­ 845/88) :
PRESIDENT. — Question No 39, by Mrs Caroline Jackson (H-845/88):
Jeg vil også sige. at Kommissionen har truffet afgørelser med hensyn til hygiejnen og behandlingen af fødevarer i almindelighed.
Secondly, the Commissioner mentioned restrictions which had been agreed to protect the shoe industry in France and Italy.
Der er allerede blevet fastlagt regler angående frisk kød. fjerkrækød, kødprodukter, varmebehandlet mælk og hakkekød, og et generelt direktiv om hygiejne i forbindelse med andre produkter, der ikke dækkes af de eksisterende retsregler, er under udarbejdelse.
I have received com plaints from manufacturers in my own constituency who feel that there has been an unfair diversion of Taiwanese and South Korean shoes into the United Kingdom market precisely because they can no longer penetrate the Italian and French markets.
Vi vil energisk arbejde på at gore det nødvendige arbejde færdigt inden for denne sektor, med særligt henblik på æg.
I would be grateful if the Commissioner could give this some attention.
Hvor udbredt er »salmonella enteritidis« i fjerkrækød­ og ægindustrien i medlemsstaterne, og mener Kommissionen, at problemet kræver nye modforholdsregler og yderligere forsk­ning på EF­plan, eller er bedre gennemførelse af de eksiste­rende EF­bestemmelscr om dyresundhed det. der er behov for?
How prevalent is 'salmonella enterititis' in the poultry meat and egg industries of the Member States, and does the Commission feel that the problem calls for new countermeasures and extra research at Community level; or is what is needed better implementation of existing EC animal health regulations?
Taylor (DR). ­ (EN) Må jeg. efter al have budt den nye kommissær velkommen til hans post som ansvarlig for landbruget og i betragtning af den uheldige opmærksomhed, det har vakt. al der er salmonella i engelske æg. sporge, om Kommissionen overhovedet har overvejet restriktionerne mod engelsk ægeksport til andre Fællesskabslande?
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) Although I am not responsible for the composition of this Commission, I am, of course, grateful to the honourable Member for addressing his compliments on the composition of the Commission to me.
Hvis det er tilfældet, vil han sä erindre, at man har fundet problemet i England og ikke i ægproduktionen i andre dele af Det Forenede Kongerige?
As regards the completion of the investigation to which I referred, I cannot give a precise date, but I certainly expect it to be completed by the end of the first six months of this year, this also with an eye to further action we may need to take in the future.
Jeg kan kim fastholde den stilling. Kommissionen har indtaget, og det vi har gjort.
I think I am right in saying that the honourable Member believes he can detect this phenomenon in the United King dom at the moment.
Vi venter på at få samlet de nødvendige oplysninger, sa vi kan tage yderligere initiativer.
I can neither confirm nor deny this for the moment, but the fact that we are now con ducting an investigation covering the whole Com munity market indicates that we have borne the possibility of this phenomenon occurring in mind and, in fact, are still doing so.
MacSharry, medlem af Kommissionen. — ( EN) Kommissionen drøftede spørgsmålet om salmonella enteritidis og andre former for mikrobiologisk for­urening med medlemsstaterne i december.
MAC SHARRY, Member of the Commission. — The Commission discussed with Member States last December the question of salmonella enterititis and other microbiological contaminants.
Medlems­staterne er for nylig blevet opfordret til at fremlægge mere detaljerede oplysninger med henblik på en mere omfattende vurdering af situationen i Fælles­skabet.
The Member States have recently been asked to furnish more detailed information for the purpose of a more com prehensive evaluation of the situation in the Com munity.
Alle aspekter af denne sag vil blive omhyg­geligt undersøgt, og det gælder også behovet for ekstra forholdsregler, forskning på fællesskabsplan og de veterinære sundhedsbestemmelser.
All aspects of this matter will be carefully examined, including the need for extra counter-measures, research at Community level and the veterinär)' health regulations.
Kommis­sionen vil naturligvis sige, at det med hensyn til salmonella­bakterien er af afgørende betydning, at man overholder ordentlige hygiejniske bestemmelser i forbindelse med behandlingen af madvarer pa
The Commission would, of course, advise that in the matter of salmonella bacteria it is essential that proper hygiene practices are observed in the handling of food at slaughterhouses, processing
Det Forenede Kongerige er yderst tilbageholdende, når det gælder undersøgelse og offentliggørelse af detaljer om inficering af madvarer i det hele taget?
Mac Sharry plants, farms and in the home where the correct culinary procedures should be followed also.
Vi har modtaget en klage, hvori det påstås, at Traktatens konkurrencebestemmelser er overtrådt. På den anden side har man anmodet om godkendelse af den foreslåede aftale.
ing my interest as a farmer of tested free-range poultry, I suggest to you, Commissioner, that the health record in other Community countries is certainly no better than in Britain.
MacSharry. — (EN) Jeg kan kun komplimentere Dem for Deres arbejde både som landbruger og som parlamentariker, og sige. at for så vidt medlemsstaterne angår, vil vi stærkt opfordre dem til at frem lægge de oplysninger, vi har bedt om. så man kan gribe ind på fællesskabsplan, hvis det er nødven digt.
MAC SHARRY. — I can only compliment you on your farming activities as well as on your parliamentary duties and say that, insofar as Member States are concerned, we will urge them strongly to supply the information that we have requested so that action can be taken at Community level if so required.
Formanden. — Spørgetiden er afsluttet ').
PRESIDENT. — Question Time is concluded.1
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er Kommissionens meddelelse om dens reaktion på Europa-Parlamentets udtalelser og beslutninger. -)
JACKSON, Caroline (ED). — Would the Commissioner not agree that the Commission has a unique role in overseeing what is happening in the Com munity?
Vil kommissæren være venlig at oplyse, hvor langt han generelt — naturligvis ikke i forbindelse med det tilbud, som endnu ikke eksisterer — ville føle sig bundet af sagen med de irske spritfabrikker, hvor Kommissionen traf den afgørelse, at en aftale af denne type mellem et antal virksomheder fra forskellige medlemsstater var noget, der stred mod de normale konkurrenceregler?
Is he not aware of the tremendous impact that the controversy surrounding this problem has had, for example upon the agricultural industry in his own country, and would he not there fore agree that there was something to be said for much swifter action by the Commission in pointing out where this form of salmonella did or did not exist in the Community in December rather than leaving it to be discussed rather ineffectively between British ministeries?
Sir Leon Brittan, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Mandag aften opfordrede fru Crawley til. at der blev fremsat en udtalelse om sammenslutnings- og monopolpolitik i forbindelse med redegørelsen om Kom missionens reaktion på Parlamentets udtalelser.
PRESIDENT. — The next item is the statement by the Commission on the action taken on the opinions of the European Parliament.
Det vil jeg med glæde gøre.
Are there any comments?
Som De ved. er Kommissionens vigtigste forslag på dette område forslaget om forordning om sammen slutninger.
MAC SHARRY. — I would like to say, first of all, that it is a matter primarily for the Member States con cerned.
Rådet modtes den 21. december 1988 for at drøfte Kommissionens reviderede forslag.
But I would say that the Commission did take action fairly quickly last December.
Dette forslag, der afspejler den bekymring.
I said so in the reply I have already given and I don't want to delay the House in repeating that reply.
Jeg vil gerne give højeste prioritet til vedtagelse af denne forordning.
I would say also that the Commission has taken decisions in regard to hygiene and the handling of food generally.
En systematisk procedure til overvejelse af større sammenslutninger er nødvendig, og både industrien og handelen ønsker den.
Rules have already been established in relation to red meat, poultry meat, meat products, heattreated milk and minced meat, and a general directive on the hygiene of other products not covered by exist ing legislation is in preparation.
Den nuværende forvirrede situation, hvor sammenslutninger på fællesskabsplan snart er underlagt medlemsstaternes og snart Fælles skabets jurisdiktion, kan ikke få lov at fortsætte.
We will work urgently to complete the necessary work in this sector, with particular attention to eggs.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Det ærede medlem har helt ret i, at der endnu ikke er formuleret noget på en måde. så Kommissionen skal overveje det, og jeg tror, at han ligesom jeg i sin tid har set et broget udbud af forskellige tilbud og alliancer, som aldrig er nået frem til et endeligt forslag.
TAYLOR (DR). — In welcoming the new Commissioner to his post in agriculture, and in view of the adverse publicity given to the presence of salmonella in English egg production, has the Commission given any consideration whatsoever to the restrictions of English egg exports to other Community countries?
De principper, man skal henholde sig til, blev ganske rigtigt overvejet af Domstolen, men fremgår egentlig ganske klart af artikel 85. stk. 1, og artikel 85, stk. 3.
If so, will he bear in mind that tins problem has been found in England and not in egg production in other parts of the United Kingdom?
Det er en proces, som vi under alle omstændigheder vil anvende, ligegyldigt hvordan tilbuddet ser ud.
The current situation in which Community-scale mergers are subject to a bewildering array of national and Community jurisdictions cannot be allowed to continue.
Hvad angår de forskellige initiativer, der er på vej inden for den europæiske elektronikindustri, og som fru Crawley nævnte, så viser disse initiativer, at det magiske år 1992 allerede er ved at føre til. at der udtænkes både offensive og defensive strategier over for det store indre marked. Naturligvis er del. som
With regard to the various moves underway in the European electronics industry referred to by Mrs Crawley these moves show that the catalyst of 1992 is already leading to both offensive and defensive strate gies being devised in order to respond to the scale of the internal market. Obviously, as Mr Bangemann stressed on Monday, it is inappropriate to comment in detail on the GEC-Siemens-Plessey case.
Kan kommissæren oplyse os om, hvor store beløb hans sammenslutningspolitik vil tage højde for.
SIMMONDS (ED). — Would the Commission agree that Ministers in Member States other than the United Kingdom are extremely coy about researching and publicizing details of infection of any food? In declar
Må jeg ønske held og lykke med den undersøgelse, der skal foretages, for det er i alles interesse at få dette afklaret så hurtigt som muligt.
I have indicated that it would appear that there is a prima facie case of a breach of Article 85(1) but we are now examining the case to see whether in fact this is so and if so whether what is proposed should nonetheless be permitted under Article 85(3).
Har han overvejet Murdoch and News internationals overtagelse for nylig af det skotske forlag Collins?
Has he considered the recent takeover by Murdoch and News International of the Collins Publishing Company in Scotland?
Er han ikke klar over, at eftersom Murdoch er forlægger og kontrol lerer aviser, der anmelder bøger, så er der meget, del taler for, at der er tale om misbrug af en dominerende stilling, eftersom bøger, der anmeldes i The Times og The Sunday Times, nu også udgives af News International? Vil han være parat til at se på dette problem?
Does he not realize that as Murdoch is a publisher and as he controls newspapers which review books, there is a prima facie case of a dominant position being abused, in that books which are reviewed in The Times and The Sunday Times are also published by News International now?
Og desuden, har han noget nyt at fortælle Parlamentet om sammenslutningen mellem Scottish og Newcastle?
Furthermore, has he any further progress to report to this House on the Scottish and Newcastle merger?
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Jeg er det ærede medlem taknemmelig for de venlige bemærkninger, han har fremsat om behandlingen af sagen indtil nu.
As for the various other takeover bids or joint ventures announced, or reported, no specific proposals have been formulated and it would therefore be premature to comment on them.
Da jeg tiltrådte, kom jeg hurtigt til den opfattelse, at dette var noget, man måtte se på i en fart.
BRITTAN, Sir Leon. — With regard to the Collins case, which the honourable gentleman referred to, as he will know very much better than I, it has generally been the practice of the Commission not to comment on individual cases.
Efter at have offentliggjort den afgørelse, at det ser ud til, at reglerne er overtrådt, så vil jeg gerne have, at der så hurtigt som muligt skal ske en grundig overvejelse af sagen.
However, the bid he referred to was an agreed bid and the Commission has not yet been approached about this matter in any way.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Hvad angår tilfældet Collins, som det ærede medlem nævnte, og som han ved langt bedre end jeg, så har det været Kommissionens praksis ikke at fremsætte generelle kommen tarer i forbindelse med enkeltsager.
WELSH (ED). — I take it from Commissioner Brittan's last remark that the Metsun announced bid for GEC has not in any way been referred to the Commission yet and therefore that is not under consideration.
Men det tilbud, han taler om, var et, hvorom der var enighed, og man har endnu ikke på nogen måde henvendt sig til Kommissionen angående denne sag.
Would he care to say how far in general terms — not of course in terms of a bid that does not yet exist — he would consider himself bound by the case of the Irish Distillers when the Commission decided that a concert party of that particular type, a number of countries from different Member States, was something that infringed the normal rules of competition?
Kommissionen er sikkert helt klar over, at fastsættelse af en frisi til 1992 betyder, at der uvægerligt vil opstå vild panik for at komme ind i EF før 1992. Vi vil se en byge af sammenslutninger som dem, der foregår nu - for eksempel Siemens såvel som opkøb fra tredje lande.
It is something which remains on the table as out standing business to be determined.
I betragtning af, at han vil få særdeles meget mere at lave i løbet af sin embedsperiode, har kommissæren så allerede nu overvejet, om de res sourcer, han har til rådighed, er tilstrækkelige til at sikre, at han kan opfylde sine forpligtelser som kommissær for konkurrenceforhold?
So far from being a case of the Commission seeking to extend its competence, power and control, it is actually a rationalization that is in question and a rationalization that is badly needed and much sought after by industrial and commercial con cerns in order that they should know much more clearly than they do now where they stand as between different regulatory authorities.
Et af de mere generelle punkter, som det ærede medlem nævnte, det niveau, hvor man ville anse et tilbud om opkøb for at have implikationer for Fællesskabet i modsætning til de nationale myndigheder, er en af de sager, som der endnu ikke er enighed om under forhandlingerne om en forordning om sammenslutninger — det er noget, der ligger til behandling og afgørelse.
BRITTAN, Sir Leon. — The honourable gentleman is quite right in saying that nothing has been formulated in a way that calls for the Commission's consideration and I think he will share with me the experience of observing a kaleidoscope of shifting bids and alliances which certainly has not reached a final proposal. The principles to be applied were considered by the Court in that case, but are quite clear really from Article 85(1) and Article 85(3).
I forbindelse med det spørgsmål, der er stillet her til aften, er det værd at påpege, at hvad angår overvejelsen af sager, der henhører under artikel 85. så er der ingen numerisk tærskel, der skal respekteres, sålænge der ikke er nogen forordning om sammenslutninger.
If there is an agreement that appears to threaten competition in the way that is des cribed in Article 85(1), that is something which has to be considered by the Commission and, alongside that it has to be considered whether or not, in spite of its coming prima facie under Article 85(1) there are advantages of a kind specified in Article 85(3) which would make it desirable for such an arrangement to be permitted. That is a process which will be applied in any case whatever the nature of the bid.
Kommissionen må se på hvert eneste tilfælde, hvor det kan se ud, som der er — eller hvor det antydes, at der er — tale om en overtrædelse af artikel 85 eller 86.
GEC and Plessey have extensive presence in my constituency and I am very impressed by the speedy and sympathetic hearing that the Commission has already given to some of their representatives.
Forholdet er det, at hvis der bliver enighed om en forordning om sammenslutninger, så vil der være nogle situationer, som Kommissionen i øjeblikket skal se på, der ville komme til at henhøre udelukkende under de nationale myndigheder.
Could the Commissioner enlighten us as to what will be the level of turnover in his merger policy. I under stand from Agence Europe that the talks broke down at the Council of Ministers.
Sir Leon Brittan. — (EN) Det er noget, jeg har overvejet.
Brittan, Sir Leon the handling of the matter so far.
Helt præcis hvilke ressourcer, der er brug for. vil naturligvis i sidste instans afhænge af de afgørelser, der bliver truffet.
I certainly took the view immediately when I assumed office that this was something which had to be considered quickly.
Men ét forekommer mig at stå helt klart, nemlig at det vil være helt irrationelt at afgøre, hvad Fællesskabet bør gøre, og hvad de nationale myndigheder bør gøre. på basis af en vurdering af forhåndenværende ressourcer i Kommissionen i øjeblikket.
will obviously depend ultimately on the decisions that are taken. One thing that seems to me to be absolutely clear is that it would be highly irrational to decide what the Community should do, and what national authorities should do, on the basis of an assessment of resources available to the Commission at the moment.
Det er en yderst vigtig sag.
This is a matter of extreme importance.
Hvis forholdet er det. at Kommissionen i princippet bør gøre noget, som den i øjeblikket vil finde det vanskeligt at gøre — og jeg siger ikke, at det forholder sig således i øjeblikket — så må det være sådan, at de forholdsvis begrænsede ekstra ressourcer, der bliver brug for, for at man kan påtage sig en så vigtig opgave, skal stilles til rådighed, eller at man i det mindste meget alvorligt bør overveje al gore det.
If it is the position that in principle the Commission ought to be doing that which at the moment it would have difficulty in doing — and I am not saying that that is the position at the moment — it must be the case that the comparatively limited extra resources that will be needed to undertake so important a task should be provided; or at least very serious consideration should be given to providing them.
I et væsentligt anliggende, der vedrører konkurrencen i hele Fællesskabet, kan det ikke være rigtigt, at omfattende politiske initiativer skal afgøres på basis af det forhåndenværende personale.
In a major matter affect ing competition throughout the Community, it cannot be right that substantive policies should be determined on the basis of current staffing.

Kommissionens meddelelse om den videre behandling af de udtalelser, Europa-Parlamentet har afgivet om Kommissionens forslag i modeperioderne i november og december 1988
TAKEN IN RESPONSE TO OPINIONS ON COMMISSION DELIVERED BY PARLIAMENT AT THE NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER PART-SESSIONS
I overensstemmelse med den aftale. Kommissionen har indgået med Europa-Parlamentets præsidium, underretter Kommissionen gennem denne meddelelse Europa-Parlamentet om sin videre behandling af de ændringsforslag.
As agreed with Parliament's Bureau the Commission reports on the action it takes in response to Parliament's amendments to its proposals and on disaster aid.
Parlamentet har fremsat til Kommissionens Lovgivningsmæssige forslag under modeperioderne i november og december 1988. samt om katstrofebistand.
This report covers opinions delivered by Parliament at the November and December part-sessions.
De betænkninger, der blev vedtaget af Europa-Parlamentet under mode perioden i november 1988. og som har givet anledning til bemærkninger i dokumentet om »Kommissionens videre behandling« af 9. december 1988 (SP(88) 3075). omtales ikke i dette dokument, medmindre der i mellemtiden er indtruffet nye omstændigheder.
The opinions adopted by Parliament in November and referred to in the report dated 9 December 1988 (SP(88) 3075) are dealt with here only if new factors have emerged in the meantime.
I dette dokument omtales ligeledes et forslag, der går længere tilbage end referenceperioden, idet Kommissionen nu har vedtaget en ændring af sit oprindelige forslag.
This report also refers to a report adopted at an earlier part-session, which has led to the Commission amending its original proposals.
