Mener udenrigsministrene i Europæiske Politisk Samarbejde ikke på baggrund af den irske ulandsfrivillige, Valerie Piaces tragiske død i Somalia under et vilkårligt angreb, at EF og De Forenede Stater kunne finde frem til en ny strategi for at beskytte udenlandske ulandsfrivillige i Somalia?
Does the following passage quoted from the conclusions of the Presidency at Edinburgh of 12-13 December 1992, Annex 1 to Part A, II, third paragraph (iii), permit the implementation under the law of directives solely by management and labour, as laid down in Article 2(4) of the Agreement on Social Policy annexed to the Protocol on Social Policy to the Maastricht Treaty, when management and labour are not entitled to make agreements having an erga omnes effect, or will further legislation be necessary?
Fællesskabet og dets medlemslande har den opfattelse, at uanset hvilken politisk struktur afstemningen fører til, skal samtlige de rettigheder, der er nedfældet i internationale aftaler respekteres.
The rules referred to by the honourable Mrs Sandbæk, namely Article 2(4) of the Social Protocol, have to be read in conjunction with Article 2(6) and Articles 3 and 4 of the Social Protocol as well as the general principle of subsidiarity as mentioned at the very outset of the Maastricht Treaty.
Det er afgørende, at afstemningen bliver erklæret fri og retfærdig.
In Article 2(6) it is explicitly stated that the provisions of Article 2 are not to apply notably to the right to strike or the right to impose lock-out.
For at dette ske, må afstemningen forberedes og gennemføres i overensstemmelse med internationale standarder.
These fundamental rights are therefore not affected by the Maastricht Social Protocol.
Et vigtigt led i forberedelsen er tilstedeværelsen af forhold, der tillader alle parter, herunder dem, som er for flerparti-systemet, at føre kampagner før afstemningen.
'... care should be taken to respect well established national arrangements and the organization and working of Member States' legal systems.
Tilstedeværelsen af internationale observatører, såvel under registreringsfasen som under selve afstemningen, kan bidrage væsentligt til den almindelige anerkendelse af resultatet.
Where appropriate and subject to the need for proper enforcement, Community measures should provide Member States with alternative ways to achieve the objectives of the measures.'
HELVEG PETERSEN, f o rmand for Europæisk Politisk Samarbejde. — Lad mig starte med at forsikre, at Fællesskabet og dets medlemslande dybt beklager det helt meningsløse drab på fru Valerie Place.
(Conclusions of the Presidency, Edinburgh 12-13 December 1992, Annex 1 to Part A, II, third paragraph (iii)).
Allerede i deres erklæring af 7. december 1992 understregede Fællesskabet og dets medlemslande den særlige betydning, som de tillægger sikkerheden for nødhjælpspersonalet i Somalia.
Of major interest is, however, the new mechanisms described in Articles 3 and 4.
Der er et meget stort antal frivillige fra EFs medlemslande i Somalia, og jeg kan forsikre det ærede medlem og Parlamentet om, at Fællesskabet og dets medlemslande arbejder tæt sammen med UNITAF og UNOSOM Il-ledelsen for at yde den bedst mulige sikkerhed.
They stipulate that manage ment and labour may settle labour market issues as covered by the Social Protocol without the intervention of the Community institutions.
Sikkerhedssituationen er efter Fællesskabets opfattelse et helt centralt spørgsmål for gennemførelse af nødhjælpsindsatsen i Somalia.
Now these new mechanisms constitute the major innovation in the area of labour market and social policy agreed in Maastricht.
Derfor lægger vi vægt på at forbedre sikkerheden for alle frivillige nødhjælpsarbejdere, både de udenlandske og de nationale.
They provide for a much larger role of workers and manage ment in the formulation and implementation of Euro pean-wide policy in this area.
Jeg nærer den største beundring for de mennesker, der på denne måde yder en stor humanitær indsats.
Instead we encourage collective agreements adjusted to the traditions and norms of local labour markets.
I en udtalelse af 14. april, altså for ganske nylig, har Fællesskabet og dets medlemslande noteret sig den aftale om sammensætningen af den valgkommission, der den 6. april blev indgået mellem Malawis regering og de andre parter, herunder dem, som er tilhængere af flerpartisystemet.
FLYNN, Member of the Commission. — Article 2(4) of the Agreement annexed to protocol 14 on social policy deals with cases where a directive is adopted by the Council by qualified majority of the eleven Member States (Article 2(2)), or unanimously (Article 2(3)). In this respect there is no difference in relation to current practice except in the number of states involved.
Da der således er opnået en løsning om sammensætningen af valgkommissionen og dets valgregler, har Fællesskabet og medlemslandene udsendt observatører til overvågning af registreringen og vil efterfølgende også overveje at sende observatører til at overvåge folkeafstemningen.
What is new is that each Member State is expressly allowed to entrust management and labour with implementation of the directive. The Member State continues to be responsible for transposai in accordance with Article 189 as stipulated in Article 2(4), that is, the Member State is bound as to the result to be obtained.
FITZGERALD (RDE). — (EN) Jeg takker rådsformanden for hans svar og for den interesse og sympati, han har givet udtryk for; men er det ikke rigtigt at sige, hr. rådsformand, at dødsfald som i Valerie Piaces og andres tilfælde, mennesker der har vist deres mod og deres engagement i bidraget til at løse problemer, og tragedierne for deres familier er noget, vi ikke burde tillade?
2) The social partners in the Member State concerned agree on arrangements which will guarantee that the directive will produce the required results.
Desværre sker det af og til, men sel v ét dødsfald — og der har været mange flere end ét — er for meget.
There would then be no need for the State to take any further action.
Vil rådsformanden overveje at give en posthum anerkendelse af mennesker som Valerie Place, der mister livet for verdensfredens sag?
In a situation where it appears subsequently that an arrangement agreed upon by social partners does not fully secure the results intended by a directive, two further possibilities are open:
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Jeg kan helt tilslutte mig de synspunkter, som hr. Fitzgerald har givet udtryk for om den anerkendelse, som bør ydes også efter deres død af de mennesker, der gør en stor humanitær indsats — en indsats uden hvilken et stor nødhjælpsarbejde slet ikke kunne etableres.
I assume that Mr Flynn can readily under stand that in asking this question, I hope to receive an answer clarifying whether or not — on the basis of the provision that I mentioned — the Commission's legal departments will in future be able to approve the implementation of a directive by virtue of an agreement
FORMANDEN. — Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 53 og 54 blive besvaret skriftligt (2).
1 ) Compliance with the results of the directive could be secured through, for example, industrial action; among the Danish social partners which does not have an erga omnes effect, or whether there will always be further legislation in Denmark.
BALFE (S). — (EN) Jeg takker rådsformanden for hans svar. Som en af dem, der kan huske landet, da det hed Nyasaland og hovedstaden hed Blantyre, har jeg fulgt det med stor interesse i en lang årrække.
2) The Member State takes steps to ensure the results with due respect for the powers conferred on the relevant national authorities.

FLYNN. — What we look forward to under the new arrangements is that the collective agreement method
desværre, med ganske få ord, som ikke er noget svar, og det gælder både for Det Politiske Samarbejde og for Rådet.
Question No 74 by Mr Fitzgerald (H-0340/93) Subject: Social disadvantages would be the method that will be pursued, and we would think that, that being the case, in fact you would get a situation where something that is practised in Denmark might very well become the way it is done in other places as well.
Jeg vil derfor indtrængende bede Dem give Deres tjenestegrene nogle retningslinjer, så de skriftlige svar bliver lige så fyldige som dem, De giver her.
We look forward to agreement between the social partners; we look forward to that agreement being put in place, which would not then require any intervention by the institutions and thereby not require pursuing the matter by way of law in any circumstances.
Og det vil jeg gerne komplimentere Dem for, for også på forrige møde var De meget informativ.
That is the intention and that is what we expect can be achieved under the protocol.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Jeg vil gerne føje til, hvad jeg tidligere har sagt, at vi nøje følger udviklingen i Malawi og myndighedernes fremfærd over for politiske modstandere.
What new initiatives does the Commission consider could be taken as a legitimate area of Community action to tackle the serious problems within the most disadvantaged Member States of decaying inner city areas, homelessness and housing as well as increasing social problems and tensions in high unemployment housing estates and underdeveloped rural areas?
Det er med beklagelse, at vi har erfaret om højeste rets stadfæstelse f.eks. af fængselsdommen over oppositionslederen Chihana.
FLYNN, Member of the Commission. — The Commission is aware of the serious problems which exist within the most disadvantaged Member States, and indeed elsewhere in the Community, in deprived inner-city areas, as well as of the increasing social problems in housing estates experiencing high unemployment and in underdeveloped rural areas.
Uanset om denne dom måtte være korrekt i juridisk forstand i henhold til lovgivningen i Malawi, så indebærer dommen en beklagelig forringelse af oppositionens muligheder for at gøre sig gældende i kampagnen op til folkeafstemningen.
It believes that the Com munity, within the limit of its competence, and of its means, should contribute to the efforts which are under taken at national, regional and local level to tackle these problems.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Jeg vil gerne takke for det ærede medlems pæne bemærkninger om de svar, der er kommet.
VAN OUTRIVE (S). — (NL) I would like to ask Com missioner Flynn the following question.
Jeg har noteret mig synspunkterne om de skriftlige svar og skal sørge for, at det bliver sådan, at også de skriftlige svar bliver fyldige og forhåbentlig tilfredsstillende.
Does Commissioner Flynn hold the same view that this would indeed be possible?
FORMANDEN. — Spørgetiden til Rådet og Europæisk Politisk Samarbejde er afsluttet.
FLYNN. — There are two situations that need to be referred to there.
Spørgsmål til Kommissionen
What I am talking about is the whole question of agreement.
FORMANDEN. — Spørgsmål nr. 70 af David Martin, overtaget af Megahy (H-0391/93):
And in the situation where man agement and labour can have such an agreement, then of course there is no need for legislation at all.
Jeg tror, det er vigtigt, at Fællesskabet netop afgiver en sådan besked til regeringen i Malawi forud for den vigtige folkeafstemning.
That is what has to be understood in so far as the Maastricht situation is concerned.
Hvad har Kommissionen gjort for at sikre, at det efter ratifikationen i samtlige medlemsstater af Traktatom Den Europæiske Union vil være muligt at gennemføre artikel 8 B, stk. 2, inden fristen udløber den 31. december 1993?
It all hinges on getting management and labour together in an agreement that will be binding on both parties, and that is precisely what is intended in the new situation.
VANNI d'ARCHIRAFI, medlem af Kommissionen. — (IT) Hr. formand, jeg takker for ordet, og vil begynde med at takke det ærede parlamentsmedlem for at have stillet dette spørgsmål, der vedrører et emne, der er både meget vigtigt og meget presserende.
The Commission adopted on 23 December 1992 a com munication on these issues entitled 'Towards a Europe of solidarity: intensifying the fight against social exclusion, and fostering integration'.
NEWENS (S). —(EN) Jeg takker ministeren for hans svar, men er han ikke enig i, at hvis Chakufwa Chihana forbliver indespærret, vil intet foregivende af, at dette kan være en virkelig fri folkeafstemning, være berettiget, især da så mange af de landsforviste, der stadig opholder sig udenlands, vil være bange for at vende hjem, idet de også kunne blive fængslet?
Now this communication analyses the phenomenon of social exclusion which is a major challenge to all the Member States, and to the Community as a whole.
Kan han derfor love, at der vil blive lagt maksimalt pres på for, at disse mennesker løslades og får mulighed for frit at føre valgkamp?
It underlines the multi-dimensional character in urban as well as rural areas.
Må jeg også bede om, at han siger mere om de ordninger, der vil blive truffet for at få observatører derned. Vil man for eksempel bede os i Europa-Parlamentet om at sende observatører til folkeafstemningen, når den engang afholdes? des?
It also recalls the existing efforts in these sectors and their specific added value.
Artikel 8 B, stk. 2, i Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union garanterer de italienske borgere — undskyld mig de europæiske borgere — af begge køn, retten til at stemme, aktivt som passivt, ved valget til Europa-Parlamentet i den medlemsstat, de bor i.
It has therefore proposed, in the context of the amendments which it has recently submitted to the structural fund regulations, that explicit reference should be made in the definition of the new Objective 3 of the structural funds to the need to foster integration into the labour market of those who are exposed to social exclusion.
Den fastlægger også, at Rådet efter forslag fra Kommissionen og efter forudgående samråd med Parlamentet vedtager de i den forbindelse nødvendige bestemmelser inden den 31. december 1993.
The training and other measures which could be provided in this context would have a significant impact on the problems referred to.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Må jeg om det sidste spørgs mål sige, at det er vigtigt, at der sendes observatører fra EF til valghandlingen. Må jeg så også føje til, at om disse observatører skal komme fra Europa-Parlamentet eller andre parlamenter kan jeg på dette tidspunkt ikke tage stilling til.
BONDE (ARC). — (DA) I would like to ask the Commissioner how solutions can be constructed which simultaneously satisfy employees in France, where workers are split into three different federations and only 10% of them are affiliated to a trade union, as well as in Denmark, where there is — broadly speaking —just one trade union and 86% of them are affiliated to a trade union.
Om det første spørgsmål vil jeg kun gentage, at vi lægger i Fællesskabet overordentlig stærk vægt på, at Malawis regering tillader Chihanas familie og advokater at besøge ham og giver forsikringer om hans lægelige behandling og fritagelse for arbejde, der ikke er forsvarligt for hans helbredstilstand.
Or will it become obligatory, as soon as the directive on subcontracting takes effect, for trade unions to treat domestic and foreign companies equally, or at least in the same manner, so that there is no discrimination against foreign companies by striking more against them than against domestic companies?
Det er klart, at fra et politisk synspunkt er denne frist fastsat for at gøre det muligt at have indført disse bestemmelser allerede fra det kommende valg til Europa-Parlamentet i juni 1994.
FLYNN. — It must always be remembered of course, and this I think is the critical point, that the right to strike is not affected by Maastricht.
Jeg er også sikker på, at den fælles udøvelse af denne nye aktive som passive stemme ret vil medvirke til en yderligere bevidstgørelse hos borgerne omkring denne union, der knytter Europas befolkninger tættere og tættere sammen, og at deres fælles identitet vil komme til udtryk ved den lejlighed.
What we are talking about here is a consultative process between the actors — management and labour — in seeking the agreement. Nothing is outlawed by Maastricht, such as strikes and lock-outs; that is not contemplated at all.
Det lægger vi den største vægt på, og jeg håber, at Malawis regering noterer sig dette standpunkt.
PRESIDENT. — As the author is not present Question No 73 will be answered in writing (').
Det faktum, at Maastricht-Traktaten, af årsager som Parlamentet er bekendt med, er blevet væsentligt forsinket, har naturligvis en direkte indvirkning på gennemførelsen af artikel 8 B, stk. 2, i Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union.
Regarding the specific housing issues mentioned by the honourable Member, housing is not within the competence of the Community.
Når Traktaten til sin tid træder i kraft, vil det af ren og skær mangel på tid blive temmelig vanskeligt at overholde den tidsplan, som er fastlagt i artikel 8 B, men for at dette projekt kan blive en succes, er det nødvendigt, at alle de berørte institutioner i Fællesskabet udviser en fælles politisk vilje og samarbejder på en yderst hurtig og effektiv måde.
However, housing- related issues are part of the multidimensional phenomenon of social exclusion and some Community actions are relevant in this context, especially with regard to homeless ness, to social urban development and to transnational exchanges of experience, knowledge and policies on these issues. The Commission supports the efforts of the European federation of the non-governmental organizations working with homeless people.
Vi kan ganske vist være uenige, det er der ikke tvivl om.
') See Annex 'Question Time'
forordning, og ved at vælge en forordning vil man vælge den hurtigste vej.
And that the Community might give some lead or provide some guidelines as to how large such an area would have to be?
Hvad angår stemmeret i flere lande på én gang, vil jeg tillade mig at sige, at hele praksis og alle fortilfælde samt alle traditionerne taler imod det, og jeg mener derfor, at dette indirekte svar bør være svar nok til spørgeren.
FLYNN. — I think that some of these matters might very well be addressed to Member States but I am sure the honourable Member will appreciate that some of the thoughts that he has expressed were in our minds when we were reforming the structural funds with a view to making them more flexible and more policy-driven, so as to address the difficulties that he has referred to.
FORMANDEN. — Spørgsmål nr. 71 af Megahy (H0306/93):
PRESIDENT. — Question No 75 by Mr Brian Simpson (H-0182/93)
Efter min mening drejer det sig helt klart ikke om en fuldstændig harmonisering af de enkelte medlemsstaters valglove.
FITZGERALD (RDE). — I wish to thank the Commissioner, a former government colleague, for his reply.
Vores opgave består derimod helt konkret i at fjerne visse juridiske forhindringer, der helt frem til i dag forhindrer borgere, der bor i en medlemsstat, hvor de ikke er statsborgere, i at udøve deres aktive og passive stemmeret ved valget til Europa-Parlamentet på samme betingelser som det pågældende lands statsborgere. Med udgangspunkt i disse antagelser vil Kommissionen også overveje den holdning, som Parlamentet gav udtryk for allerede inden undertegnelsen af Traktaten, nærmere bestemt i beslutning af 10. oktober 1991.
But — Mr Wijsenbeek, I am sure you have this problem too, perhaps you may be interested, now that you have arrived in the House after a long absence — can I ask the Commissioner, despite the fact that he says that the responsibility primarily rests with the Member State governments and the regional authorities — I know I represent a very small city in Community terms, but a city where homelessness, poverty, drug abuse and crime are very much on the increase, admittedly on a smaller scale perhaps than is the case in many other urban areas in the Community — can I ask the Commissioner whether he would not agree with me that there is now a need for a greater involvement by the Commission in this area, where I believe there is a very real danger that the Community may collapse if it does not address inner city problems.
Forbundskansler Kohl har meddelt, at såfremt Dan mark og Det Forenede Kongerige ikke har ratificeret Maastricht-Traktaten senest i juli eller august, vil de andre stater fortsætte uden dem.
Can the Commission indicate what it intends to do to ensure that all Member States, but in particular Portugal, put an end to the practice of child labour which is being carried out in appalling conditions on low wages and which clearly breaches EC regulations? tions?
Endvidere vil vi være specielt opmærksomme på problemet omkring anvendelsen af disse bestemmelser allerede ved det kommende valg til Europa-Parlamentet i 1994.
FLYNN. — I have to say to the honourable Member that the Community has no competence in social urban development and it has no competence as far as housing is concerned.
Vi er naturligvis klare over, at medlemsstaternes respektive valglovgivninger kræver, at visse frister bliver overholdt i bestemte sammenhænge så som optagelse på valglisterne og opstilling af kandidater.
Certainly he is right when he says that there is a lot of urban decay and that many problems, such as deprivation and increased crime, stem from that.
Det ville naturligvis være en fordel for det fremtidige lovgivningsarbejde, hvis man allerede nu kunne skabe en politisk enighed omkring den generelle måde at gribe sagen an på.
A number of social actions of the Community do take place, however, within an urban setting.
Kan Kommissionen oplyse, hvilke procedurer der er for at ekskludere Danmark og Det Forenede Konge rige fra EF?
Particular attention is given to social exclusion in deprived urban areas.
Såfremt Danmark og Det Forenede Kongerige ikke ratificerer Maastricht-Traktaten i tide, men ikke kan ekskluderes fra EF, hvordan forestiller Kommissionen sig da at etablere en sameksistens mellem et EF bestående af tolv stater og en Europæisk Union bestående af ti stater?
By way of pilot action, the network Quartiers en crise may be extended to see whether social urban development can be instrumental in fostering social integration. He will be aware that in the new understanding of Objective 4 it is proposed to include social exclusion as a prime matter for assistance under the Social Fund.
Vil dette skabe behov foret fuldstændigt sæt af parallelle institutioner?
I think it will go a long way to satisfy some of the matters that he rightly refers to in this regard.
MEGAHY (S). — (EN) Det er interessant at se, at Kommissionen forventer, at dette vil træde i kraft ved de næste valg.
FLYNN, Member of the Commission. — The Commission adopted a proposal for a directive on the protection of young people at work on 15 January 1992.
Spørgsmålet om datoer er meget vigtigt. For eksempel er i Det Forenede Kongerige datoen for registrering til valg den 10. oktober.
Article 3 of the proposed directive forbids the employment of child ren, with derogations being permitted only in very strictly limited circumstances.
Hvad vil situationen være, hvis nogle lande kan føre det ud i livet og andre ikke?
The Commission attaches particular importance to the adoption of this proposal and welcomes the fact that the Danish presiden cy has indicated its intention to give it priority.
FLYNN, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Kommissionen vil minde det ærede medlem om, at det er dens politik ikke at kommentere offentlige udtalelser fra politikere i medlemsstaterne.
MAHER (LDR). — Could I put it to the Commissioner that perhaps structural funds have in the past been misdirected?
Kommissionen kan bekræfte, at der ikke er nogen regel i traktaterne om eksklusion af en medlemsstat. Som Kommissionen allerede har erklæret ved mange lejligheder, håber den inderligt, at Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union bliver ratificeret af alle tolv medlemsstater.
Given the great need for employment creation in the Community, far too much of the structural funding was spent on major infrastructural works in many of our countries and not enough on employment creation.
