Spørgsmålet er gentagne gange blevet behandlet grundigt på rådsniveau, i særdeleshed den 4. november og den 2. december. På samlingen den 4. november mente Kommissionen ikke — og Rådet fulgte den — at det var muligt at efterkomme visse delegationers ønske om, at associeringsaftalerne med de tre partnere i Central- og Østeuropa skulle indeholde en fæUeserklæring, der skuUe åbne muUghed for aftaler om frivilüg eksportbegrænsning i tilfælde, hvor situationen krævede det.
This question has several times been the subject of an indepth study in the Council, particularly on 4 November and 2 December, and at the meeting on 4 November the Commission did not think it possible, and the Council agreed, to accede to the request of certain delegations that the association agreements with our three partners of Central and Eastern Europe should include a joint statement leaving open the possibility of self-restraint agreements should the situation warrant it.
Denne situation er allerede, skal vi sige ordnet ved associeringsaftalerne, hvori der findes mekanismer til undgåelse af forstyrrelser på markedet.
That situation is already, let us say, governed by the association agreements in which mechanisms are envisaged for avoiding market disturbances.
Kommissionen fastholdt nødvendigheden af, at Fællesskabet fulgte en konsekvent Unje i forhold til den, der blev afstukket på samlingen i Rådet den 8. april 1991.
The Commission emphasized that it was necessary for the Community to take, as regards self-restraint arrangements, a view consistent with the line laid down at the Council meeting on 8 April 1991.
Dankert. — (NL) Også hvad angår stål vü jeg sige, at det, det drejer sig om, er adgang til markedet, dette er af stor betydning for alle.
On that occasion the Council and the Commission confirmed that they would adhere to their commitments entered
Dankert. — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne sige, at baggrunden for associeringsaftalerne med de tre lande i Øst- og Centraleuropa ikke blot er økonomisk, men også politisk. Det har at gøre med Vesteuropas ansvar for at tage sig af disse landes
WIJSENBEEK (LDR). — (NL) The President of the Council admits that there are in fact sensitive sectors, but I should like to ask him more generally whether he does not agree with me that the interests of the three countries mentioned in Mr Gangoiti Llaguno's question are much better served by access to our market than by the present amounts of aid and aid programmes which in the long run can be nothing more than a drop in the ocean and which do not attract investments because at the moment there are no markets there.

subject of a global compromise at the Council on 30 September.
Kan Rådets formand sætte tal på det antal arbejdspladser, der sandsynligvis vil gå tabt, især i kvælstof, urinstof- og petrokemiindustrien i Fælles skabet, hvis aftalerne fortsætter?
Can the President-in-Office put any figures on the likely number of jobs that will be lost, in particular in the nitrogen, urea and petrochemical industries within the Community, if the agreement goes ahead ?
fremtid og nødvendigheden af, at vi spiller en rolle for at sikre stabiUtet i vor verdensdel.
It has to do with the responsibility of Western Europe to take care of the future of these countries and the need for us to play a part in ensuring stability on this continent.
På den baggrund må man acceptere den slags indrømmelser på handelsområder, vi giver: Jeg mener, at det politiske imperativ gælder dér.
Against that background, one has to accept the kind of concessions in the trade field we are making : I think the political imperative is there.
Vi er langt rigere end disse lande.
We are far richer than these countries.
Vi må finde løsninger på vore interne problemer, men ikke på deres bekostning.
We have to find solutions for our internal problems, but not at their expense.
Lane (RDE). — (EN) Blot en meget hurtig kom mentar.
LANE (RDE). — Just a very quick comment.
Den 9. september henledte jeg forsamlingens opmærksomhed på, at associeringsaftalerne blev udarbejdet og diskuteret, uden at Parlamentet blev hørt...
On 9 September I drew to the attention of this House that the association agreements were drawn up and were discussed without Parliament being consulted ...
Habsburg (PPE). — (FR) Hr. rådsformand, er det ikke Deres opfattelse, at det er vigtigt for os så hurtigt som muhgt at nå frem til en aftale med Golfstaterne på grund af deres position, der politisk og økonomisk er så overordentlig vigtig for os i en fremtid, som man nemt kan forestille sig?
HABSBURG (PPE). — (FR) Mr President of the Council, do you not think that it is important for us to reach an agreement with the Gulf States as soon as possible in view of their position, which is politically and economically extremely important for us, in a future which may easily be foreseen ?
Dankert. — (FR) Jeg kan kun skrive under på det ærede medlems bemærkninger.
DANKERT. — (FR) I can only agree with the honourable Member's remarks.

PRESIDENT. — Question No 10, by Mr Lane (H-l 191/ 91)
Om: Golfstaterne
Subject : Gulf States

Spørgsmål nr. 12 af Fitzgerald (H-l 193/91):
Question No 12, by Mr Fitzgerald (H-1193/91) Subject: Employment
Under talrige debatter i Europa-Parlamentet har jeg ind trængende opfordret det nederlandske formandskab til at give beskæftigelsen førsteprioritet og til at sætte beskæftigelsessituationen på dagsordenen for topmødet i december.
In numerous debates in the European Parliament, I urged the Dutch Presidency to place unemployment at the top of its list of priorities and to place unemployment on the agenda of the December Summit.
Rådet bedes oplyse, hvorledes det agter at reagere på disse to opfordringer?
Will the Council now indicate its response to these two urgent requests ?
Dankert, formand for Rådet. —- (FR) Efter Golfkrisen og inden for sin kompetence har Rådet foruden de spørgsmål, der behandles i Det Europæiske Politiske Samarbejde, taget alle nødvendige initiativer, såvel under det luxembourgske som det nederland ske formandskab, for at nå til den hurtigst muhge indgåelse af frihandelsaftalen med Golfstaterne.
DANKERT, President-in-Office of the Council. — I can assure Mr Fitzgerald that the question of unemployment featured in the discussions of the Council of Ministers of Social Affairs on 14 October and 3 December this year.
De blev for nylig bekræftet på et møde mellem Fælles skabets og disse landes udenrigsministre i september i New York.
Secondly, I would add that the employment situation in the Community has also to be
Dankert, formand for Rådet. — (EN) Jeg kan forsikre hr. Fitzgerald om, at spørgsmålet om arbejdsløsheden spillede en rolle under drøftelserne i Rådet af Socialministre den 14. oktober og 3. december i år. For det andet vil jeg gerne tilføje, at beskæftigelsessituationen i Fællesskabet også er blevet set i sammenhæng med de beslutninger, der blev truffet i Maastricht om Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union og den kohæsion, som Det Euro pæiske Råd vedtog, og som skal gennemføres i løbet af det kommende år.
DANKERT, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Following the Gulf crisis and within the framework of its powers, the Council, apart from the questions dealt with in the context of European Political Cooperation, has taken all necessary steps under both the Luxembourg and the Netherlands Presidencies for the speediest possible conclusion of the free-trade agree ment with the Gulf States.
Kommissionen har i mellemtiden foreslået ændringer af forhandlingsdirektiverne, og de blev genstand for et generelt kompromis i Rådet den 30. september.
The Community entered into undertakings on this point at the ministerial meeting in Luxembourg on 11 May under the present cooperation agreement.
Deres ansvarlige udvalg, hr. formand, er blevet holdt fuldt underrettet om indholdet af de nye direktiver, som Kommissionen forbereder sig på at begynde forhandlingerne om i januar.
They were confirmed recently during a meeting between the Foreign Ministers of the Com munity and of those countries at New York in September.
Hvilke konkrete skridt overvejede statscheferne i Maastricht med hensyn til arbejdsløsheden?
In the mean time the Commission proposed amend ments to the negotiating directives which were the
En sådan situation kræver en ændret reaktion fra Rådet og Kommissionen med hensyn til, hvordan vi uddeler og fordeler vore midler til at angribe problemet.
DANKERT sidedly put the blame on one government that was opting out or opting in. I am not quite sure yet how to describe the social charter of the eleven Member States.
Jeg ved ikke, om Rådets formand vil være enig i nødvendigheden af nytænkning på dette område?
seen in the context of the decisions which were taken in Maastricht concerning economic and monetary union and the cohesion which was decided by the European Council and which has to be implemented over the next year.
Dankert. — (EN) Det er en kendt sag, at de standpunkter, der blev indtaget i Maastricht, skal omsættes i traktatbestemmelser og ratificeres.
FITZGERALD (RDE). — While thanking the President-in-Office of the Council for his reply, could I ask him whether he would agree with me that unemployment in the Community is the most serious problem affecting young people and that the unacceptable level of unemployment in many of our regions, and particularly in city areas like my own in Cork, creates a breeding ground for crime, drug trafficking and terrorism ?
Men det betyder ikke, at FæUesskabet ikke i dette øjebuk med sin poütik prøver at angribe arbejdsløshedsproblemet.
Could the President-in-Office point out to me what specifically happened at Maastricht that will make an immediate impact on job-creation within the Community, not something down the road in one, two or ten years' time ?
Jeg kan huske, hvad Taoiseach sagde i Det Europæiske Råd om strukturfondenes positive virkning på situationen i Irland.
What specific measures did the Heads of State consider in Maastricht with regard to unemployment ?
Jeg mener, at den positive virkning for en del har at gøre med arbejds løshedsproblemet.
In London we have for the first time ever exceeded the national average of unemployment in Britain.
Det er jo givet, at for så vidt angår Socialfonden, er der uddannelsesordninger, der kan hjælpe til med at overvinde problemet.
As my colleague has pointed out, the national average in Britain is very high indeed in Community terms.
Jeg kan ikke være enig med det ærede medlem i, at ungdomsarbejdsløshed automatisk skaber et gunstigt klima for forbrydelse, narko og terrorisme.
In one district of my own constituency there has been a 150% increase in unemployment in one year.
Jeg mener, at det med den rigtige poütik er muligt at undgå disse konsekvenser.
This kind of situation needs a change of response from the Council and the Commission as regards the way in which we allocate and distribute our resources to tackle this problem.
Fællesskabet har absolut bidraget til at undgå dem.
I wonder if the President-in-Office would agree on the need for rethinking in this area ?
Dankert. — (EN) Det ville være en misforståelse at tro, at tildeling af midler fra fællesskabsfonde vil have en væsenthg virkning på arbejdsløsheden, når man sammenligner fællesskabsmidlernes omfang med gennemsnittet af de offentlige midler, der anvendes generelt.
DANKERT. — It would be a misunderstanding to believe that the allocation of resources from Com munity funds would have a substantial effect on unemployment in view of the size of Community funds compared to the average public resources in general use.
Så hvis der er et problem, er det kun for en del på grund af Fællesskabets evne til at hjælpe.
So if there is a problem it is only partially because of the ability of the Community to help.
Der er også det problem, jeg pegede på vedrørende den økonomiske politik og de måder, hvorpå medlemsstaterne fører denne politik.
There is also the problem I indicated regarding economic policy and the ways in which the Member States pursue that policy.
Vi har klart udtalt — og det er også konsekvensen af udkastet til Traktaten om Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union — at fordi medlemsstaterne ønsker det sådan, for bUver den økonomiske poütik et nationalt ansvarsområde.
We have clearly stated, and it is also a consequence of the draft treaty on economic and monetary union, that because the Member States want it that way economic policy remains a national responsibility.
Formanden. — Da spørgerne ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 13 og 14 bUve besvaret skriftligt. ')
DANKERT. — It is well known that the positions adopted at Maastricht have to be put in treaty terms and to be ratified.
Spørgsmål nr. 15 af Arbeloa Muru (H-1028/91):
PRESIDENT. — As the authors are not present, Questions Nos 13 and 14 will be answered in writing. '
Hvordan har Rådet tænkt sig at anvende det forslag, der for nylig blev fremlagt af en repræsentant for en af medlemsstaterne om harmonisering i Fællesskabet af de nationale politikker på asylområdet og om oprettelse af et EF-organ, der skal tage sig af tilstrømningen af indvandrere?
How does the Council intend to act upon the recent call from a representative of a Member State for harmonization at Community level of the EC countries' policies on asylum and for the establish ment of a joint body to study immigration patterns ?
Newman (S). — (EN) Er Rådets formand ikke enig med mig i, at trods glæden i mange kredse over resultatet af topmødet i Maastricht kan vi ikke virkeUg glæde os i et Europæisk FæUesskab, hvor så mange millioner af mennesker er uden beskæftigelse?
NEWMAN (S). — Does the President-in-Office of the Council agree with me that despite the joy in many quarters at the outcome of the Maastricht summit, we cannot really be joyful in a European Community were there are so many millions of people unemployed ?
Er han ikke også enig med mig i, at i en situation, hvor et fællesskabsland — Det Forenede Kongerige — har haft en af de hurtigst voksende arbejdsløshedsrater i det sidste par måneder, er det vanvid at give indtryk af, at regeringens politik og dens unddragen sig Socialpagten er en måde at bekæmpe arbejdsløsheden på?
Does he not also agree with me that in a situation where a Community country — the United Kingdom — has had one of the fastest-growing rates of unemployment over the past few months, it is crazy to suggest that that government's policies and opting-out of the social charter are a method of combating unemployment ?
Er det ikke udmærket muhgt at have en poütik, der både bekæmper arbejdsløsheden og giver arbejdstagerne anstændige sociale rettigheder og arbejdsforhold?
Is it not perfectly possible to have policies that both combat unemployment and give workers decent social rights and working conditions ?
Dankert, formand for Rådet. — (FR) Til dette spørgsmål om harmonisering af asylret, kan jeg sige, at Rådet erkender det stigende omfang af indvandringsfænomenet i Europa, og jeg minder om, at samtlige medlemsstater har undertegnet den mellemstatsUge konvention om asylret, som i øjeblikket er ved at bUve ratificeret.
DANKERT, President-in-Office of the Council — (FR) On this question of the harmonization of the rules on right of asylum, I can say that the Council is aware of the proportions which the phenomenon of immigration into Europe is assuming and I would point out in this connection that all the Member States have signed the intergovernmental convention on the right of asylum which is in the course of being ratified at the moment.
Med hensyn til det forslag, som det ærede medlem omtaler i sit spørgsmål, anmodede Det Europæiske Råd på sit møde i Luxembourg på for anledning af kansler Kohl om at få forelagt forslag vedrørende indvandring og asyl på sit næste møde.
With regard to the proposal referred to in the honourable Member's question, the European Council,
I London har vi for første gang nogen sinde overskredet det nationale arbejdsløshedsgennemsnit i Storbritannien.
DANKERT. — On the first question I think I can agree with the honourable Member.
Som min kollega påpegede, er det nationale gennem snit i Storbritannien endda særdeles højt i fælles skabssammenhæng.
On the second, I think the situation is a bit more complicated, as I have already indicated.
Dankert sionen have muUgheden for medinitiativret på dette område.
DANKERT. — Mr President, on the role of Parliament I can say that in view of the agreements made in Maastricht, the Commission will have the possibility of the right of co-initiative in this area.
Så hvis Kommissionen vil stille forslag, mener jeg, den vil følge den normale parlamentariske procedure, der vil gøre det muligt for Parlamentet at drøfte det og blive hørt forud.
So if the Commission wants to make proposals I think it will follow the normal parliamentary procedures, which would enable Parliament to discuss and be consulted beforehand.
samarbejde på justits- og indenrigsministeriernes områder.
Finally, I can confirm that the deliberations of the Maastricht European Council also related more particularly to the policy on asylum within the framework of the provisions on cooperation in the sphere of justice and home affairs.
Foruden bestemmelserne i artikel A, ifølge hvilke medlemsstaterne opfatter asylpolitikkens område som et af spørgsmålene af fælles interesse, har man således godkendt en konkret erklæring, som det vil være umagen værd at læse op for Dem:
So, apart from the provisions of Article A, under which the Member States regard the sphere of policy on asylum as a matter of common concern, a specific declaration was approved, and I think it is worth reading it to you :
Medlemsstaterne er enige om, at Rådet, som led i det i artiklerne A og C omhandlede arbejde med bestemmelser om samarbejde på justits- og indenrigsministeriernes områder med prioritet, behandler spørgsmålene om medlemsstaternes asylpolitik med henblik på i begyndelsen af 1993 at vedtage en fælles handlingsplan for harmonisering af aspekterne i lyset af arbejdsprogrammet og den frist, der findes i den rapport om asylret, der blev udarbejdet på opfordring fra Det Europæiske Råd i Luxembourg.
'The Member States agree that, in the context of the work envisaged in Articles A and C of the provisions on cooperation in the sphere of justice and home affairs, the Council will consider as a matter of priority questions concerning the Member States' policy on asylum with a view to adopting, for the beginning of 1993, a common programme intended to harmonize certain of its aspects in the light of the work programme and schedule contained in the report on asylum, drawn up at the request of the Luxembourg European Council.
I ' den forbindelse behandler Rådet inden udgangen af 1993 på basis af en rapport ligeledes spørgsmålet om en eventuel anvendelse af artikel 1 i denne sag.
In this context the Council will also consider, before the end of 1993, on the basis of a report,the question of the possible application to these matters of Article I.'
Wijsenbeek (LDR). — (NL) Ministeren har netop sagt, at jeg skabte problemer, og at han som calvinistisk rådsformand naturligvis ikke kunne komme ind på disse ting.
WIJSENBEEK (LDR). — (NL) The Minister said just now that I was creating problems and that as a Calvinistic President of the Council he naturally could not go into them.
Hertil kan jeg sige, at der naturlig vis ikke er noget værre end et romersk-rødt kabinet. Og i øvrigt: Når man spiller »kaatsen« (boldspil), så må man regne med, at bolden kommer tilbage.
To that I should like to reply that naturally nothing is worse than a Roman Catholic/red cabinet and as far as that is concerned, whoever plays bowls must keep his eye on the ball !
Har Rådet nogensinde hørt om en rapport udarbejdet af Heinz Oskar Vetter, tysk fagforeningsleder — det vil tiltale hr. Dankert — hvori hr. Vetter på hele Parlamentets vegne siger, at vi i fællesskab bør bære byrderne ved en immigrations- og asylpolitik?
Has the Council ever heard of the report of Mr Heinz Oskar Vetter, chairman of the German trade union confederation — that should appeal to Mr Dankert — in which Mr Vetter said on behalf of the whole Parliament that we must bear jointly the costs of an immigration and asylum policy ?
Dette betyder, at vi også må sprede immigranterne over medlemsstaterne, og at vi må lade alle medlemsstater bære omkostningerne.
That means that we must also distribute the immigrants over the Member States and must arrange for the costs to be borne jointly by all the Member States.
Men andre ord mener jeg at kunne sige, at der i øjebhkket foregår en slags fremskyndelse af behandlingen af dette problem, som Rådet tager meget alvorUgt.
In other words I think I may say that at the moment we are seeing some kind of a speeding up in the treatment of this problem, which the Council is taking very seriously.
Arbeloa Muru (S). — (ES) Jeg takker for svaret og for den helt friske nyhed fra topmødet i Maastricht, som Parlamentet må studere indgående, og jeg håber, at svaret er afgivet i egenskab af EF-rådsfor-mandskab og ikke i egenskab af nederlandsk calvinistisk formandskab.
ARBELOA MURU (S). — (ES) I should just like to express my thanks for that answer, that advance news, fresh from the Maastricht Council, which we shall have to study in depth, and I hope that the answer was given as from the Community Presidency and not as from the Calvinistic Netherlands Presidency.
Dankert. — (NL) Hvad angår »kaatsen«, så er det noget, jeg som friser kan tale med om!
DANKERT. — (NL) As regards bowls, as a Frieslander I know a thing or two about that sport !
Jeg ved ikke, om hr. Wijsenbeek nogensinde har dyrket denne idræt.
I do not know if Mr Wijsenbeek has ever played it.
Jeg kan ikke vurdere, om Rådet har kendskab til Vetter-rapporten.
I cannot judge whether the Council has noted the Vetter report.
Det går jeg ud fra det har, men det var før min tid, for da sad jeg endnu her.
I assume it has, but that was before my time, when I was still sitting here.
Hvad angår rapportens problematik, så forholder det sig sådan, at der for øjeblikket er bestræbelser i gang i Rådet og i medlemsstaterne på at løse disse problemer.
As regards the problems dealt with in that report, there is at the moment a movement afoot in the Council and the Member States to tackle problems of this kind.
Dette betyder, at man naturligvis vil tage de spørgsmål op, som hr. Wijsenbeek her har rejst.
This naturally means that later in the proceedings such questions as are raised by Mr Wijsenbeek will also have to come up for discussion.
Formanden. — Da forespørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 16 blive besvaret skriftligt. ')
PRESIDENT. — Since the author is not present, Question No 16 will be answered in writing. '
Det er dog påfaldende, at selv en af rådsformandens partifæller ikke er til stede.
It is rather striking that now in addition even a member of the party of the President of the Council is absent.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 17 af Valverde López (H-0917/91):
Could you bring up in the enlarged Bureau the
Elliott (S). — (EN) Jeg er Rådets formand taknemlig for det, han har fortalt os om Maastrichtaftalen i den henseende.
DANKERT. — (FR) A little more detail, because the Calvinistic answer given just now dealt with a different problem.
Må jeg for det første spørge, om Maastricht-topmødet tænker sig nogen rolle, blot en rådgivende rolle, for Parlamentet i relation til disse ting? Kan jeg for det andet få en eller anden garanti for, at der ikke vil ske nogen forringelse af den måde, vi behandler asylansøgere og flygtninge på, at vi ikke fraviger tankerne i FN's Flygtningekonvention, og at vi indtager en human og storsindet holdning over for alle de mennesker, der flygter fra forfølgelse i deres egne lande?
The Council is taking the situation very seriously for the very simple reason that the inter governmental agreements, which impose a duty on us to protect our external frontiers, oblige us to harmonize the rules regarding asylum so as to avoid a lowering of standards, because then we should to some extent no longer be able to meet our obligations under the convention on refugees.
