Tiden er inde for Europa til at indlede en tilbundsgående overvejelse af de proble mer, der knytter sig til Europas etniske befolknings grupper; det bør ske globalt og selvfølgelig uden at lægge hindringer i vejen for det enkelte samfunds særpræg.
My first is this: the responsibility borne by the Communist regime in this matter is total, and we demand free elections in Romania so that its peoples can at last attain peaceful selfdetermination and then, with a democratic govern ment, respect the various ethnic communities living in Transylvania.
Derfor er vi også glade for, at forslaget til fælles beslutning opfordrer Det Politiske Udvalg til at
Thirdly, this recognition must be based on the right of peoples to determine their own affairs and also on the territorial principle, as applied in Switzerland for instance, which means that each people is entitled to its
Blot (DR). — (FR) Fru formand, kære kolleger, jeg vil gerne komme med tre bemærkninger om de nyligt stedfundne stridigheder mellem de forskellige etniske befolkningsgrupper i Transsylvanien.
There have been conflicting reports from the Romanian and Hungarian autorities about the events in Ttansylvania, with their scenes of violence, and this does not make it any easier to make an objective judgment.
For det første har det kommunistiske styre det fulde ansvar for denne sag, og vi kræver frie valg i dette land, således at det rumænske folk omsider frit kan bestemme selv, og dernæst at en demokratisk regering vil respektere de forskellige nationale komponenter, der findes i Transsylvanien.
But although it is difficult to explain the immediate cause of these disturbances, it is clear that the policy of the ousted dictatorial regime in Romania played a large part in stirring up antagonism. In this connection, the Commission notes with some satisfaction the resolve of the new Romanian authorities to make sure the rights of
Tværtimod kommer freden mellem folkene ved anerkendelse af de enkelte nationale identiteter.
IN THE CHAIR : MR PETERS minorities living on Romanian territory are respected.
alvorlige sammenstød til efterretning.
That, of course, is fundamental.
Forhandlingen under ét er
PRESIDENT. — The joint debate is closed. '
Når folkene opfandt grænserne, så er det netop, fordi de er et civilisations- og frihedsbeskyttelseselement.
PRESIDENT. — The next item is the debate on the Commission statement on the taxation of commercial road vehicles.
Formanden. — I henhold til artikel 104 foreslår jeg, at den forhandling, som nu skulle begynde om Colombia og menneskerettighederne, udgår, og at vi går direkte over til afstemningen.
PRESIDENT. — Pursuant to Rule 1041 suggest that the debate which I have just announced be closed on Colombia and human rights and that we pass directly to the vote.
Dury (S). — (FR) Rent undtagelsesvis accepterer Den Socialistiske Gruppe dette, fordi disse spørgsmål er meget vigtige for os.
DURY (S). — (FR) The Socialist Group agrees, very exceptionally, because these matters are very important to us.
De Donnea (LDR). — (FR) Fru formand, Parlamentet bør klart og tydeligt fordømme de nyligt stedfundne blodige begivenheder i Transsylvanien.
VAN MIERT, Member of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the sometimes very substantial differences between Member States of the Community in the levels of taxes specific to transport have always been seen as a cause of distortions of competition.
For det første fordi vi bør fordømme enhver form for voldshandlinger, men måske navnlig fordi europæerne bør kappe hovedet af enhver form for genopdukkende nationalisme og ethvert angreb på de etniske mindretals rettigheder og integritet overalt i Europa og i verden.
Concern over this is not new since, going back to 1968, the Commission has submitted a series of proposals for dealing with the problem. The most recent of these was submitted in 1987 and it contains provision for harmonization of the structure of taxes on vehicles and, with effect from 1 January 1993, application of the principle of territoriality to the taxation of lorries.
Simeoni (ARC). — (FR) I februar forlængede man undtagelsesvis eftermiddagens forhandling.
SIMEONI (ARC). — (FR) An exception was made in February and the debate was extended into the afternoon.
Nu bør det hovedsagelig koncentrere al sin kraft om økonomisk genrejsning og demokratiets konsolidering.
Would it not be possible to debate these very important matters rather than take a vote in haste at the last minute ?
Lehideux (DR). — (FR) Fru formand, da det drejer sig om en så alvorlig og vigtig sag, mener De så virkelig, at vi kan stemme om Colombia-spørgsmålene, når der kun er knap tres medlemmer til stede?
LEHIDEUX (DR). — (FR) Madam President, on a matter of such grave importance, do you really think that we can vote on Colombia's problems when there are-scarcely 60 of us present ?
Det er virkelig en fornærmelse mod Colombias befolkning og regering!
It really is an insult to the people and government of Colombia !
Fru formand, Den Liberale og Demokratiske Gruppe beklager endvidere, at Parlamentets Præsidium ikke ville sætte gruppens beslutningsforslag om forholdene i de rumænske børnehjem på dagsordenen, da vi energisk bør tage afstand fra de eksisterende forhold der.
If I may refresh your memories, the principle of territoriality is aimed at making lorries pay for the use of infrastructures where they actually use them, as distinct from the nationality principle, under which they are taxed in the country of registration only.
Lenz (PPE). — (DE) Fru formand, der foreligger et forslag til fælles beslutning om Colombia, som vi har diskuteret meget indgående.
LENZ (PPE). — (DE) Madam President, there is a compromise motion on Colombia which we have discussed at great length.
Derfor mener jeg, at grupperne skulle kunne erklære sig indforstået med Deres forslag, da de udmærket ved, hvad der tales
I think the groups could declare themselves in agreement, for they are well aware what they are talking about.
Scrivener, medlem af Kommissionen. — (FR) Fru formand, Kommissionen har med bekymring taget de for nylig i Transsylvanien stedfundne meget
However, a number of technical difficulties need to be sorted out before this principle can be put into practice.
') Resultatet af afstemningerne: Se protokollen.
The Commission's staff are trying to make progress, in conjunction with the national experts.
Men det hindrer ikke Kommissionen i stædigt at arbejde videre med territorialiteten.
But that will not prevent the Commission remaining firmly committed to territoriality.
Gutiérrez Diaz (GUE). — (ES) Fru formand, vor gruppe har fremsat et beslutningsforslag om Colom bia, og vi vil gerne forsvare det; men vi foretrækker, at det sættes under afstemning uden forhandling, frem for at der slet ikke stemmes om noget så vigtigt.
GUTIÉRREZ DIAZ (GUE). — (ES) Madam President, I would like to make clear that our Group has a resolution on Columbia and we would like to be able to defend it. However, we would prefer to submit it to a vote without a debate than not be able to vote on something that is so important.
Men siden territorialitetsforslagets fremsættelse er der sket en vis udvikling.
That said, there have also been further developments since the proposal on territoriality was submitted.
Kommissionen har navnlig fremsat et nyt forslag, bedre kendt som Scrivenerforslaget, der går ud på at fastsatte afgiften for motorbrændstof inden for så snævre grænser som 195 og 250 ecu pr. 1 000 1. I relation til vore bestræbelser på transportområdet har dette forslag ubestridelige fordele.
In particular, the Commission has submitted a further proposal, commonly known as the 'Scrivener proposal', under which taxes on fuel would have to be kept within a very narrow band, between ECU 195 and 205 per 1 000 litres.
Sir Jack Stewart-Clark (ED). — (EN) Fru for mand, jeg ønsker blot at sige, at jeg finder det yderst beklageligt, at vi, når vi dagen efter Colombias præsidents besøg i Parlamentet har planlagt en kort forhandling om dette land og dets problemer, ikke engang kan få tid til selv en ganske kort forhandling. ling.
First, it makes for better cover of infrastructure costs, since it requires considerable increases in the level of this taxation in most Member States.
For det første giver det mulighed for en bedre dækning af infrastrukturudgifterne, idet det med fører en følelig afgiftsforhøjelse i de fleste medlems stater.
STEWART-CLARK, Sir Jack (ED). — Madam President, I should just like to make the statement that I find it particularly regrettable that, the day after the President of Colombia pays a visit to this House and we schedule a short debate upon that country and its problems, we are unable to find time for even the most summary debate.
For det andet indebærer forslaget territorialitetsprincippet, for hvis afgiftsniveauet fra den ene medlems stat til den anden er ret ensartet, at det ikke længere nødvendigt at udruste lastvognene med overdimensionerede tanke for at udnytte de nuværende følelige afgiftsforskelle.
Secondly, it implies the principle of territoriality, since if levels of taxation were very similar from one Member State to another there would no longer be any point in the current practice of fitting lorries with outsize tanks, to take advantage of significant differences in rates.
Under disse omstændigheder må man regne med, at vognmanden køber sit brændstof og dermed betaler sin afgift i det land, hvor transporten udføres.
If that were the case, it may be taken, in overall terms, that
Interessen for sagen er ikke ny, for lige siden 1968 har Kommissionen regelmæssigt fremsat forslag til problemets løsning.
Thirdly, the proposal would almost halve the fiscal disparities that exist today, when all specific taxes are taken into account.
Det sidste forelagdes i 1987 og omfatter dels tilnærmelse af beskatningsstrukturen for køretøjerne, og dels indførelse af territorialitetsprincippet for lastvognes beskatning fra januar 1993.
Finally, it would allow regular adjustment, since rates could be revised every two years in the light of changes in Community policy in various areas.
Forslaget ledsages af politiske signaler i samme retning.
As well as this proposal, there have been some political signs pointing in the same direction.
To medlemsstater med stor landevejstransport har nemlig allerede vedtaget følelige forhøjelser af deres dieselolieafgift uden at afvente Rådets afgørelse i forbindelse med Scrivener-forslaget.
Two Member States of the Community, both very active in road haulage, have decided to raise their taxes on diesel very substantially, without waiting for a Council decision on the Sctivener proposal.
Efter alle beregninger fremgår det, at Scrivener-forslaget og en række medlemsstaters allerede trufne beslutninger indebærer en reduktion af den afgiftsbetingede konkurrenceforvridning mellem vognmænd, der befinder sig i de afgiftsmæssige yderpositioner, til et niveau på mellem 2 og 3% af en lastvogns samlede driftsudgifter. gifter.
All things considered, we find that the Scrivener proposal and the anticipatory decisions taken by certain Member States provide the means of reducing fiscal distortions of competition between hauliers in the two extreme cases to a level representing between 2 and 3% of the total cost of operating a lorry.
Jeg skal erindre om, at territorialitetsprincippet har til formål at lade lastvognene betale for infrastrukturens brug dér, hvor de reelt benytter den.
VISSER (S). — (NL) Mr President, I listened with great interest to Commissioner Van Miert's interesting statement, but I still have a few questions and even a few problems.
Dette princip strider altså imod nationalitetsprincippet, hvorefter beskatningen udelukkende sker i indregistreringslandet.
What was fiscal harmonization in road transport all about? It was about a number of objectives.
Territorialitetsprincippet er i vidt omfang accepteret, da det nøje afspejler udviklingen i landevejstransportvirksomhedernes aktivitet, som i takt med grænsernes åbning i stedse mindre grad begrænses til deres hjemland.
We wanted to avoid obstacles at frontiers, we wanted harmonization of conditions of competition, we wanted the proper attribution of infrastructure costs — and to make it possible to cover them through the Member States — and we wanted to protect the environment by making the use of cars more expensive.
Princippets praktiske gennemførelse støder imidlertid på en række praktiske vanskeligheder.
Excise duties can be used to bring about harmonization of conditions of competition, but not to attribute infrastructure costs.
Kommissionen prøver på at fremme arbejdet med sagen i samarbejde med de nationale sagkyndige.
We are also in favour of the so-called double variabilization, that is one through excise duties and one through road tax, depending on the number of kilometres driven, and that is possible through road tax based on the territoriality principle.
Der er endnu megen skepsis, mange forbehold og praktiske vanskelighe
That is not possible with excise duties, for it is those we wish to harmonize — at least as far as possible.
I denne sammenhæng og efter vor anmodning derom accepterede det irske formandskab den 29. marts i år at afholde en grundlæggende forhandling i Rådet af transportministre om alle landevejstransportens afgiftsaspekter.
In this context, ladies and gentlemen, the Irish presidency agreed to our request for a discussion in depth, at the Transport Council meeting in March, on all fiscal aspects of road transport.
For Kommissionen drejede det sig først og fremmest om at finde ud af, om der forelå reel politisk vilje til at fremme sagen og få den ud af dødvandet.
The Commission's main aim was to establish whether there was real political will to get this matter moving forward again.
I denne forbindelse håbede jeg ligeledes at få lettere ved pragmatisk at arbejde på afskaffelse af de forvridninger, der skyldes motorkøretøjsbeskatningen.
With this in view, I am also hoping to be able to advance more easily and pragmatically towards eliminating the distortions that derive from the taxation of vehicles.
Beklageligvis vedtog Den Tyske Forbundsdag nogle få timer før Rådets drøftelse at indføre vejbenyttelsesafgift. Under disse omstændigheder løb debatten om motorbrændstof-
Unfortunately, the Bundestag's vote in favour of introducing the 'Strassenbenutzungsgebiihr' came just a few hours before the Council discussion.
afgiften ud i sandet, idet de medlemsstater, der så ud til at være indstillet på at forhøje afgiften i overens stemmelse Scrivenerforslaget, ikke ville fastholde deres standpunkt, når de tyske myndigheder i alle tilfælde indfører vejpenge den 1. juli i år.
In the circumstances, the debate on harmonization of excise duties on fuel was cut short, because the States that had seemed ready to increase their duties along the lines of the Scrivener proposal did not confirm that this was their intention when they saw that the German authorities were definitely going to introduce the road tax as from 1 July this year.
Derfor er min gruppe ikke så glad for, at område princippet foreløbigt er lagt på hylden.
That is why my group is not happy to see the territoriality principle shelved for the time being.
Jeg har derfor følgende spørgsmål til kommissæren: Hvor dan mener han, at han i sit system kan finde en løsning på de centralt beliggende landes problem med hensyn til beregningen af udgifterne til infrastruktur?
I therefore wish to ask the Commissioner the following: how does he intend finding a solution in his system for the problem of the centrally situated countries where attribution of infrastructure costs is concerned ?
Frankrig fortsætter i fremtiden med sine vejafgifter, og Tyskland kommer med vejbenyttelsesafgiften.
France will be continuing in future with its tolls and Germany is to introduce tax stickers.
Kommissionen, der allerede i 1989 afgav en negativ udtalelse om de tyske planer, undersøger i øjeblikket de til rådighed stående juridiske muligheder, idet den mener, at den tyske foranstaltnings modaliteter er uforenelige med flere af Traktatens artikler.
The Commission had already given an unfavourable opinion on the German proposal in 1989, and at this moment it is considering how to use the legal means at its disposal, since in its opinion the arrange ments made for implementing the German measure are incompatible with several provisions in the Treaty.
Jeg mener, at Kommissionen ikke kan gøre andet end at gå til Domstolen.
My own view is that the Commission cannot do other than take the matter before the Court of Justice.
Den formelle afgørelse træffes i næste uge.
The formal decision will be taken next week.
Et andet spørgsmål: Hvordan kan vi i Deres system finde en løsning på problemet med vejafgifterne, som vi i Europa-Parlamentet — og det har vi gentagne gange udtalt — i sidste instans vil afskaffe?
In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, I do not want there to be any misunderstanding about this and therefore stress once again that the Commission is definitely not objecting to the principle of making users pay for infrastructures.
Et tredje spørgsmål: Går vi igen tilbage til systemet med målepinde ved grænsen?
A third question : are we to revert to the dip-stick procedure at the frontiers ?
Deres forventning — om at lastbilerne i fremtiden vil blive udstyret med små benzintanke — forekommer mig nemlig heller ikke at være reel.
Your expectation — that trucks will in future be equipped be equipped with small fuel tanks — does not seem very realistic to me.
Man tanker 600 liter op, og man kører på én gang til Italien uden at tanke op en eneste gang, og det vil fortsætte sådan i fremtiden.
You fill up with 600 litres and drive all the way to Italy without stopping even once to refuel ; that will continue in future to be the case.
Og hvordan denne modregning af disse punktafgifter skal finde sted, kan jeg ikke se, medmindre vi begynder at arbejde med disse målepinde, og det er en uacceptabel situation.
And I do not see how excise duties are to be calculated without resorting to the dip-stick — and that is an unacceptable procedure.
Et andet spørgsmål: I fem lande vil der ske en nedsættelse af dieselafgifterne, hvis jeg har forstået Kommissionens forslag rigtigt.
A further question : in five countries there is going to be a reduction in the duty on diesel fuel, if I have properly understood the Commission's proposal.
Ud fra en miljøsynsvinkel er dette da ikke acceptabelt?
proposal from January tabled by Mrs Scrivener for harmonization in the field of excise duties.
Skulle vi derfor ikke begynde at harmonisere på højeste niveau?
That is in the meantime being examined and I believe — though I should like the Commissioner to confirm this — that it holds out reasonable prospects of a consensus.
Et sidste spørgsmål: Er miljø- og offentlig transporttillæg på punktafgifter stadig mulige i Deres system, f.eks. i de tættest befolkede lande, som vil stimulere offentlig transport? Skulle vi derfor ikke med disse punktafgifter nå frem til minimumniveauer, som for øvrigt skal ligge på det højeste niveau?
A final question: are environmental and publictransport surcharges on excise duties under your system actually possible, for instance in the densely populated countries that seek to encourage use of public trans port ?
Der er således temmelig mange spørgsmål.
So there are quite a lot of questions.
Efter min opfat telse er diskussionen ikke afsluttet.
In my opinion, the discussion has not been properly rounded off.
Med hensyn til afslutningen af forhandlingen går min gruppe med til en afsluttende afstemning ved hjælp af et beslutningsforslag.
As regards the conclusion of the debate : my group is in agreement with a closing vote by means of a resolution.
Der foreligger et beslutningsforslag fra Transportudvalget, og deri erklærer vi, at vi er tilhængere af en samlet holdning, som er rettet mod gennemførelsen af de fire målsætninger, som jeg har nævnt, og mod en kraftig tilpasning til miljøkravene efter princippet »forureneren betaler«, og vi vil også gerne holde fast ved områdeprincippet.
A resolution from the Transport Committee lies before us in which we declare ourselves in favour of a total approach aimed at achieving the four objectives I have mentioned in a manner strongly geared to the environ mental requirements, following the 'polluter pays' principle, and we also seek to maintain the territoriality principle.
En afsluttende bemærkning om de tyske vejafgifter: Jeg har nogen forståelse for, hvad tyskerne er ved at
The effects of excise duties in the mineral oils sector are, I find, Mr Commissioner, interesting as to their magnitude, for if what you say is true, this means that the tax differences are reduced from 5 to between 2 and 2.5%, so by half.
Hvad drejede det sig om i forbindelse med den afgiftsmæssige harmonisering inden for vejtransport?
My question is whether that calculation is disputed in the Council.
Gennem punktafgifter kan man godt nå frem til en harmonisering af konkurrencevilkårene, men ikke af en pålægning af udgifterne til infrastruktur.
The nature of the effects is also interesting, since I feel there is a move towards a better ratio between the charge levied and the attribution of infrastructure costs.
Man kan køre gennem centralt beliggende lade, f.eks.
Actually you achieve in this way exactly what you seek to achieve with the territoriality principle.
Visser gifter på diesel og benzin ikke mere eksisterer?
Why should anyone carry such large tanks if the differences in duty on diesel and petrol no longer existed ?
Mit spørgsmål lyder: Mener også Rådet, at harmoniseringen af benzinafgifterne får denne virkning?
My question is : does the Council also share that view about the effect of harmonization of duties on petrol ?
Endnu et spørgsmål, som jeg vil stille kommissæren: Er det rigtigt, at hvis indførelsen af benzinafgifterne har disse kombinerede virkninger med hensyn til omfanget af udgifterne og tager hensyn til område princippet, har man heller ikke længere brug for disse indviklede og dyre kontrolordninger?
Another question I wish to put to the Commissioner is : Is it ttue that, if introduction of petrol duty has these combined effects as regards costs level and is geared to the territoriality principle, you no longer need those complex and costly control pro cedures?
gøre, for deres utålmodighed sættes jo på en hård prøve, men ikke desto mindre synes jeg, at det er forkert.
I have some sympathy for what the Germans are doing, since their patience is being sorely tried ; nevertheless, I do not think it right.
Vi risikerer, at andre lande følger efter, vi kommer så ud på et skråplan, og det er ikke godt.
There is a danger of other countries taking it over and we shall find ourselves on a downward slope, which will be a bad thing.
Det opfylder heller ikke de betingelser, som Europa-Parlamentet havde stillet. Jeg vil ikke gentage disse, men vi er derfor enige i Kommissionens plan om at forelægge denne sag for De Europæiske Fællesskabers Domstol.
Nor is it in line with the conditions set out by the European Parliament.
Kort sagt synes min gruppe, at det hele klart er i bevægelse, at der nu foreligger et forslag om benzin afgifter, som giver perspektiv, og hvis virkninger fuldstændig tager hensyn til den politik, som også Tyskland hele tiden har opfordret til.
In short, my group considers the matter is progressing in sound fashion now that a promising proposal on petrol duty has been tabled, the effects of which are entirely geared to the policy that Germany has also always advocated.
Derfor støtter min gruppe Deres holdning, selv om det skulle betyde, at sagen forelægges EF-Domstolen.
My group therefore also supports your position, even if that should mean that the matter will be submitted to the European Court of Justice.
Calvo Ortega (LDR). — (ES) Hr. formand, jeg vil først og fremmest indlede med at forelægge en klage for Kommissionen, fordi vi ikke har haft mulighed for på forhånd at sætte os ind i betænkningen.
CALVO ORTEGA (LDR). — (ES) Mr President, firstly, I would like to begin my speech by presenting a complaint to the Commission that there has not been a possibility earlier to see the report.
