Kommissionen og Råd var heldigvis rede til at overtage store dele fra førstebehandlingen i den nu foreliggende fælles holdning.
As substitute rapporteur it is my duty to reflect the views of the majority of the Committee and I reject the accusations made by Lord O'Hagan about myself.
Alligevel kan, ja må vi ikke være tilfredse med Rådets oplæg, for det har stadig betydelige mangler, som i nogle medlemslande trods alle forsikringer kan føre til social dumping.
I thought it my duty to draw the attention of the President to the fact that there could be a problem concerning the admissibility of the amendment under discussion.
Det drejer sig her om sikkerhed og sundhed på arbejdspladsen, og det vedrører mange millioner arbejdstagere i hele Fællesskabet, hvis eksistens grundlag i ganske særlig grad afhænger af deres sundhed.
The increase in chemicals — I would say the almost daily increase in chemicals — is also a major threat and means that we are only at the beginning of the problem facing us at the workplace.
Det drejer sig om humaniseringen af arbejdsmiljøet, som af gode grunde prioriteres højt af os.
We are also witnessing the increase in physical complaints caused by working conditions.
Det drejer sig ikke om maskiner og anlæg, produktion og profit, men om mennesker, som for os alle burde stå i centrum af hele vort virke.
I think it is difficult to have a total view of the dangers, but it is up to us, up to this Parliament, up to the Commission, and un doubtedly up to the Council, to ensure that the directives under discussion offer the best possible protection.
Jeg vil kun tage nogle af de punkter op, som kan kritiseres i den fælles holdning.
As they now stand the directives offer nothing new to the northern Member States.
For det første lægger vi vægt på den udtrykkelige konstatering i betragtningerne, at sikkerhed og
PRESIDENT. — It is well understood that any rapporteur has to express the views of the committee.
For det sjette må navnlig den af Kommission og Råd foreslåede klassificering af arbejdspladser ved hjælp af bestemmelser om bestående arbejdspladser i bilag 2 og om de arbejdspladser, der vil blive etableret, i bilag 1 kritiseres.
In the Netherlands we have factory legislation which goes much farther than the directives before us and which settle, for example, workers' participation and clearly spell out the responsibilities of workers and employers.
Minimumsforskrifterne i bilag 2 er så minimale, at for ca. 120 til 130 mio arbejdstagere i EF ville en humanisering af arbejdspladserne ikke kunne finde sted. Dette bilag 2 burde egentlig kompromisløst udgå.
This kind of legislation or collective labour agreement exists in several countries of the EEC, in Denmark and the Federal Republic of Germany, for example.
Det vedtog vort udvalg også.
The Council simply rejects a number of
Vittinghoff ville der naturligvis ikke mere være behov for ændringer deraf.
CATASTA also those in small workplaces where there is often little protection.
Det vil vi måske endnu i dag, det håber jeg i det mindste, nå til klarhed over. Kommissionen har imidlertid ladet os vide, i hvert fald foreløbig, at den er rede til at overtage de 14 fremsatte ændringsforslag. forslag.
BARROS MOURA (CG). — (PT) Mr President, for our part, we have participated constructively in the effort to improve the proposals presented by the Commission, which, contrary to the provisions of the Treaties, tended, in their original version, to level down conditions of work, to the detriment of workers in the more developed countries with higher social levels, and condemning the workers of the poorer countries to the backwardness which some persist in regarding as comparative advantage.
Alt for mange gange er arbejdstagernes liv og helbred blevet ofret for en kortfristet fordel eller for at imødegå konkurrencen.
At the first reading Parliament adopted amendments that greatly improved the proposals for a directive.
Vi ser stadig for mange ofre for arbejdsulykker og erhvervssygdomme.
Today we still do not know the content of the compromise amendments proposed by the Commission on subjects of decisive importance.
Manglende overholdelse af de grundlæggende sikkerheds- og sundhedsforskrifter benyttes oven i købet til at for vride konkurrencen, så det giver vanskeligheder for de virksomheder, der afholder udgifter til investeringer og vedligeholdelse for at sikre et tilstrækkeligt sikkerhedsniveau.
Under the cooperation pro cedure, which gives meaning and substance to the Single Act, Parliament must be associated in the adoption of concrete measures for building the European social area.
De direktiver, vi nu behandler, imødegår til dels dette dobbelte behov for at sikre arbejdstagerne og give lige konkurrencevilkår.
It is necessary to start as one means to go on, and in this case we have not made the best possible start.
Omkostningerne ved arbejdsulykker og erhvervssygdomme er i alle tilfælde altid en del af de samlede udgifter til social sikring, hvilket vil sige, at de afholdes af hele samfundet.
Real improvements were introduced on the initiative of Left Unity, the Group to which we belong, in crucial matters such as limitations on the directive power of the employer, which will have to yield precedence to the objective of defence of the health and life of the worker, and the rights of information, consultation and participation of workers in questions regarding organi zation of work, hygiene and safety at the workplace.
Jeg ville gerne nu sige noget her, som navnlig er møntet på Præsidiet.
Furthermore, we regard the question of participation as a fundamental problem.
Vi belastes under forberedelsen af forhandlingen og tillige under forberedelsen af afstemningen i morgen stærkt af, at disse tretten ændringsforslag, som blev afleveret til mødetjenesten i god tid — maskinskrevne og ikke håndskrevne, som det er blevet påstået! — stadig ikke foreligger i oversættelse.
If the influence of workers' organizations and collectives is denied in matters as elementary as the defence of the health and life of workers, how will a genuine social dialogue be possible on economic and social policy in the Community or in States, or on decisions taken within the enterprise ?
Det gør det umuligt — også fordi vi har mange nye kolleger i Parlamentet — at føre en forhandling og sikre en afstemning, hvor alle ved, hvad de stemmer om.
Nevertheless, as has already happened with the framework directive, a majority in the Council and the Commission have not accepted the positions adopted by a large parliamentary majority.
Jeg er ganske vist overbevist om, at ændringsforslagene vil foreligge før afstemningen, men jeg tvivler på, at det bliver tidligt nok til, at hvert enkelt medlem i et så afgørende spørgsmål kan overbevise sig om, hvad han stemmer om.
It must be said that many political forces defend in the European Parliament progressive positions which they oppose in the govern ment or parliament of their own country.
Hvad der foreslås i disse direktiver, er det minimum, som vore nuværende kundskaber og den nuværende teknik gør muligt.
I refer in particular to certain very important problems.
De øvrige ændringsforslag er helt i overensstemmelse med Parlamentets afstemning under førstebehandlingen.
I do not think we can accept being obliged to remain within the limits of the framework-directive on workers' health.
Vi appellerer til medlem merne af Europa-Parlamentet, at de i morgen ved afstemningen giver os et overvældende flertal.
That directive is an important one, with a history in the last parliamentary majority, but we must go forward.
Jeg minder om, at vi behøver 260 stemmer for hvert enkelt ændringsforslag, hvis det skal overtages af Kommissionen.
In our view, the amendment previously adopted by Parliament goes very much further than what the Commission seems to be proposing today — I say 'seems', because we have still not got the compromise amendment.
Vi skylder 120 mio arbejdstagere og deres familier, at vi vedtager eller får indflydelse på de foreliggende lovforslag på en sådan måde, at de virkelig lever op til artikel 118a) i EØF-Traktaten, ifølge hvilken det gælder om at fremme forbedringen af arbejdsmiljøet, at beskytte arbejdstagernes sikker hed og sundhed samt at harmonisere vilkårene på dette område på et stadig stigende niveau.
In the absence of any directive on worker participation we have to define positions that are as far advanced as possible, to ensure that the implementation of these directives will then be placed firmly in the control of the national and European institutions — and I think that the Council must report every two years on the implementation of these directives — but also with the definite participation of the trade union movement.
Også Rådet for De Europæiske Fællesskaber og de enkelte regeringsrepræsentanter bør se med større opmærksomhed på behovet for i størst muligt omfang at sikre arbejdstagernes liv og hel bred, samt på muligheden for at nedbringe både de menneskelige og økonomiske omkostninger som følge af manglende overholdelse af forskrifterne, omkostninger, der som sagt bæres af hele samfundet. det.
But this is what may happen if it approves some of the joint amendments by the Socialist Group and the Group of the European People's Party aimed at a compromise with the Council, particularly over questions of participation, inform ation and consultation of workers.
Det er vanskeligt at nå til enighed om arbejdstager nes ret til deltagelse i arbejdet med at udforme og gennemføre sikkerhedsforanstaltninger angående lokaleindretning, udstyr og personlige værnemidler.
Very briefly, annex 2 defines the working conditions for workplaces that are already in operation today — and these are obviously the majority — and not only for new workplaces.
Det er imidlertid uomgængeligt nødvendigt at sikre denne i størst muligt omfang. Det kompromisændringsforslag, der er blevet enighed om, imødekommer kun delvis dette behov.
This is therefore a very important point on which Parliament must make its views very clear, because we are discussing the working conditions of a great many men and women and also, perhaps, workers from outside the Community who work today not only in large but also in small concerns.
Ferruccio Pisoni (PPE). — (IT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, efter den tekniske del, som især ordførerne har taget sig af, vil jeg på Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppes vegne begrænse mig til nogle bemærk ninger af mere politisk art.
We therefore defend the positions of the first reading and the conditions that the unions themselves regard as a minimum, and we find it incomprehensible that we should now relinquish positions achieved in a European Parliament whose political and party composition was much less favourable to the workers and the social dimension than the one resulting from the elections on 18 June.
Enhver indsats med henblik på økonomiske frem skridt bør have en forbedring af menneskenes for
That is why we must do our job as a Parliament and urgently call on the Commission to get something done.
Sikring af retten til liv og sundhed er den første af de grundlæggende rettigheder, og det sker kun sjældent, at denne kommer i konflikt med virksomhedernes rettigheder.
Now that, for the first time in this legislature, we are going to decide on questions relating to the social dimension, it is right that all those who defend it in
Min gruppe vil stemme for de tre direktivforslag og for de ændringsforslag til forbedring af dem, der er blevet fremsat af Socialudvalget, i håb om, at disse vil samle en bred tilslutning og derved klart vise, hvor stor betydning Parlamentet tillægger denne sag, samt behovet for at gøre den størst mulige indsats.
I withdraw any personal imputation which I may have made against him, but I would like to have it on the record that in my view he did not give an accurate account of the way in which the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment looked at Amendment 19 to the Oomen report. I hope that the Commission will take note of this in preparing their comments.
Derfor støtter vi de ændringsforslag, der er stillet af de tre ordførere til Rådets fælles holdning, og vi vil stemme for dem.
We have always condemned the restrictive interpretation by the Commission and the Council of Article 118A of the Single European Act.
Vi beklager endnu en gang, at Kommissionen og EF's Ministerråd har været så hurtige til at vedtage en tidsplan for den tekniske harmonisering, men meget langsomme og uden initiativ og fantasi, når det gælder anliggender forbundet med Borgernes Europa, de individuelle rettigheder og friheder, retten til fri bevægelighed, kort sagt : Sociale rettigheder.
It is a matter of concern to us that such conservative positions have been adopted in these directives on health and safety requirements, which, I would stress, are merely the minimum conditions on the basis of which we can begin to construct the true social dimension for which we are fighting.
Livet er det største af alle goder.
CABEZÓN ALONSO (S). — (ES) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen.
Alt for ofte bliver det bragt i fare af ligegyldighed, mangel på interesse, af ønsket om fortjeneste eller besparelse eller af simpelt sjusk.
Given the inequality that currently obtains in the Europe of the Twelve, it seems absolutely necessary to supplement the present policies of liberalization pure and simple.
Nogle af bestemmelserne og nogle af ændringsforslagene går ud på at forbedre arbejdsforholdene eller de hygiejniske forhold. Vi mener, at det skulle være muligt at gå videre i denne retning.
It is a commitment that can bring about the harmonious development of the Twelve and contribute to the creation of a democratic citizens' Europe.
Det synes mig at være en første rangs opgave at forsøge at gøre menneskenes for hold ikke blot lidt mer tålelige, men virkelig bedre, og at vi uden at spare os bør sætte vore bestræbelser ind på at løse denne opgave.
The internal market and the social dimension should be achieved in tandem, as has so often been said in this Parliament.
Vi håber, at Kommissionen vil alliere sig med Europa-Parlamentet i denne anden behandling — jeg er nemlig ikke i tvivl om, at vi kan opnå de 260 stemmer, der er nødvendige for en vedtagelse ved anden behandling — så Rådet ikke har andet at gøre end at vedtage det enstemmigt.
BONDE (ARC). — (DA) Mr President, in the platform of the Rainbow Group members are committed to supporting and voting for the highest standards for the environment, safety and health at work, what we call the working environment, consumer protection, veterinary regulations, social welfare and democratic principles.
Vi mener, Parlamentets forslag er rimelige, og vi støtter de ordførere, vi nævnte før.
Applying the method embodied in the Treaty progress can be made in certain places, while elsewhere the reverse may be the case.
Jeg vil også gerne komme ind på den nævnte forsinkelse: Hvorfor er de sociale foranstaltninger forsinkede i forhold til de samlede foranstaltninger vedrørende det indre marked?
This Parliament has debated and denounced the situation on numerous occasions, and has not received the satisfactory replies it was hoping for Governments of Member States. One specific government has even taken the lead in the task of obstructing progress in the construction of that social Europe.
Jeg mener, at de spørgsmål, der vil opstå vedrørende Traktaten for den Økonomiske og Monetære Union i den hen seende er fundamentale.
But perhaps it would not be good strategy to blame a single government for the lack of progress in the Community's social policy.
Det er essentielt, at Parlamentet er klar over, at det må kræve, at der til hver en tid er balance mellem de fremskridt, man gør vedrørende den økonomiske og sociale samhørighed og menneskenes medbestemmelse, og dem, der sker på områder som tilnærmelse af normer eller monetære spørgsmål.
It would be easy to take refuge behind that excuse, but in doing so we would not make the necessary progress. Another possibility — perhaps unattractive but necessary — is to repeat and reiterate that people matter more than profits, and that possibilities for excesses and abuses must therefore be severely curbed.
Det er et grundlæggende politisk spørgsmål, som vil komme til at præge lovgivningen : Balancen mellem fremskridt på de forskellige fronter af den europæiske opbygning.
The platform of the Rainbow Group and the Danish People's Movement against Membership of the European Community, which I represent, support the highest standards.
Kommissionen — der flere gange gennem sin formand, hr. Jacques Delors, har udtrykt sin interesse i at opbygge en europæisk union, der samtidig skal være Borgernes Europa — Kommissionen har i dag, stillet over for disse tre direktiver, lejlighed til at vise, om den vil gå med til Rådets minimumskrav, eller om den vil støtte Parlamentets holdning.
If the other Danish Members also vote on the basis of the highest, in other words Nordic standards, and if the groups on the left with the great Socialist Group in the van do the same, there will be more than 260 Members needed to block all proposals likely to reduce standards.
Skulle det første ske, vil jeg personlig fremover ikke kunne tro på store og flotte taler om Borgernes Europa, når disse ikke omsættes i praksis, efterhånden som direktiverne udarbejdes.
We call upon socialists, greens, rainbow groups, Danes and various others to join forces when the vote is taken and support those motions for amendments which will assure the highest standards.
Derfor mener jeg, at de politiske kræfter i Parlamentet sammen med kommissæren og Kommissionen bør være helt klar over, hvilken endelig stilling, Kommissionen indtager, inden de stemmer ved afslutningen af anden behandling i morgen, og sale-
There are some questions — such as aid to small and mediumsized undertakings, the linking of these directives with the consideration of minimum standards, the need to introduce the rights of consultation and active participation by both sides of industry, the possible need for a
Den Liberale og Demokratiske Gruppe har ved flertal vedtaget fortsat at støtte disse foranstaltninger ved anden behandling.
O'HAGAN, the Lord (ED). — Mr President, it is verydifficult for anyone representing a rapporteur to speak as if they were the rapporteur.
Pimenta des lade den endelige stemmeafgivelse være afhængig af det svar, Kommissionen giver os.
CABEZÓN ALONSO effort as a means of reaching the level of the more developed countries.
Det er helt afgørende, at man klart tager stilling til denne konkrete sag, så man ved, hvem der er med hvem.
There is a need also for back-up measures to help small and mediumsized undertakings to comply with the provisions of the directives.
Den Liberale og Demokratiske Gruppe støtter altså de foreliggende betænkninger ligesom ændringsforslaget til artikel 7, stk. 1, vedrørende deltagelse i defineringen af direktiverne.
The Social Affairs Commit tee makes it clear in Amendment No 2 that the protection of health and safety at the workplace must never be subordinated to economic considerations, and that both physical and mental health are important factors in the pursuance of social and, by derivation, economic development.
(Bifald fra Den Europæiske Demokratiske Gruppe)
Looking at the common positions and the way they have been arrived at I must mention the last-minute rush engaged in by both the Council and the Commission.
Dette direktiv forhindrer ikke medlemsstaterne i at indføre eller opretholde bestemmelser, der tillader fri religionsudøvelse.
I cannot help concluding, therefore, that on very important matters such as this the cooperation procedure between Parliament, the Council and the Commission should be somewhat different and allow Parliament a much freer hand to incorporate in such directives those things which in good conscience it wishes to provide for the workers of Europe who, after all, have actually elected it.
Van Dijk (V). — (NL) Hr. formand, vi ved udmærket godt, at fru Papandreou gør sit bedste for at overbevise Rådet om, at det kun er muligt at skabe et indre marked, hvis det også kobles sammen med en social dimension.
The diversity of social and labour systems in Member States, the different regulations in the various fields involved in the labour market, are disadvantages that must be overcome in order to establish a European framework of labour relations.
Men vi ved også udmærket, hvorledes Rådet reagerer på det. Det skal vi tale om i morgen.
That diversity, Mr President, is a reality that must be noted and borne in mind when we think of working on and making progress in the construction of a Community social legislation.
Hvorom alting er, så er de særlige direktiver om sikkerhed og sundhed under arbejdet ikke uvigtige, men de er kun en meget ringe del af vort sociale Europa.
We hope these directives that we are debating today will soon form part of that Community social legislation.
Hvad angår betænkningen generelt, så vil min gruppe stemme for alle de fælles holdninger, og alle de ændringsforslag, som udvalget har anbefalet, og som er til debat i dag.
The only way of counteracting the negative effect of the different legislations of Member States is to have a rigorous common law.
Jeg vil gerne komplimentere udvalgets ordfører og Kommissionen, der er nået frem til et konstruktivt kompromis om arbejdstageres medbestemmelse og datoen for gennemførelsen af direktiverne.
That Community law will contribute to advances in the necessary harmonization which will help anticipate the social upheavals and changes that will appear or accelerate with achievement of the internal market.
Vi oplever således blandt andet også et stigende antal psykiske klager som følge af arbejdsbetingelserne.
I shall end, Mr President, by expressing my confidence that these important directives will be satisfactorily adopted.
Jeg vil i særdeleshed gerne vide, hvad Kommissionen mener om ændringsforslag nr. 19, som jeg har nævnt, det om religiøs frihed.
The two-year shortening advocated in Mr Brok's amendments is something that wc in the European People's Party feel obliged to support.
Vil Kommissionen være så venlig at tilkendegive, om den går ind for dette ændringsforslag?
We feel that this two-year shortening of the deadline is feasible, is manageable.
I Nederlandene har vi en arbejdsmiljølovgivning, der er uendeligt mere vidtgående end de direktiver, vi har til behandling, og hvor for eksempel problemet om arbejdstagernes medbestemmelse i disse spørgsmål er løst meget klart, og hvor arbejdstagers og arbejdsgivers ansvar er fastlagt klart og tydeligt.
GIANNAKOU-KOUTSIKOU (PPE). — (GR) Mr President, the recommendations of the Social Affairs and Employment Committee on the common positions adopted by the Council on the health and safety of workers constitute a further step towards the full implementation of Article 118A.
Lignende love eller overenskomstaftaler findes i flere EF- lande for eksempel i Danmark og i Forbundsrepublikken. publikken.
There is no disputing that the securing of continually higher standards of protection at the workplace is a necessary condition for the realization of social cohesion within the Community, and, of course, it raises no impediments to economic development.
Vi i vor gruppe vil tage ivrig og energisk del i arbejdet i Udvalget om Sociale Anliggender, Beskæftigelse og Arbejdsmiljø i de kommende måneder.
Finally, I think it is important that the Commission should submit its reports to the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee on the implementation of the directives at two-yearly rather than five-yearly intervals.
