Men USA er stadig under pres, et pres, der især læg ges på Capitol Hill, som mange af os er helt klar over, og vi kan ikke udelukke, at der vil komme yderligere konfrontationer i forbindelse med handel.
These are the fears expressed in moderate terms in the resolution drawn up by our rapporteur, David Curry, whom I congratulate on his great patience.
Faktisk tror jeg, at vi allerede er inde i næste fase med de anklager, der kommer til udtryk fra den amerikanske regerings og luftindustris side vedrørende subsidieret produktion og investeringer i Airbus-industrien, et spørgsmål, som den nye formand for udvalget om eksterne økonomiske forbindelser lige har omtalt.
Our group will support the resolution and we hope that Parliament will be more or less unanimous in its approval. Thus we shall have demonstrated by voting — that is by a political act — our determination not to stand by and see the Community bogged down in squabbles and procedures or interinstitutional warfare which actually conceal a serious crisis of the Community spirit.
Det anden element vedrører nødvendigheden af at undgå, at man griber til protektionistiske foranstaltninger.
VAN DIJK (ARC). — (NL) Mr President, I must again remind the House that in December my group had serious objections to the budget then put before us.
Og endelig bør vi som sidste punkt huske på, at der i forbindelse med disse aftaler er brug for foranstaltninger og en diskussion med henblik på at løse det egentlige problem, der lig ger til grund for disse vanskeligheder.
The fact was that if we had said yes to the budget we would have been saying yes to substantial amounts for Euratom and for the further development of nuclear power.
Det er ikke nok at behandle de handelsmæssige aspekter af problemet: det er i stedet nødvandigt at nå frem til et nyt internationalt valutasystem, især nye relationer mel lem valutaerne.
That was already unacceptable to us even then, but in the year of Chernobyl we had thought that there were lessons to be learned from it.
Det er følgelig nødvendigt at fastlægge bestemmelser for denne sektor, hvis man vil und gå, at situationer som denne gentager sig.
The Chernobyl disaster should not have led simply to more money being handed out for the development of nuclear power, but should have led to more money being spent on finding ways of abolishing nuclear power and developing alternative energy sources.
I denne gruppe er vi ikke i tvivl om.hvad der end siges i modsat retning, at også det amerikanske Boeing-selskab ingennem årene har modtaget subsidier.
It is, however, clear — and Mr Christophersen has confirmed this — that the figures for the 1987 budget are too low.
Man kan som eksempel tage kontrakterne fra 1945 og op til i dag med Boeing i Seattle, hvor Boeing 707 passagerflyet er udviklet på grundlag af et militærfly fra anden verdenskrig, som fremstilledes af samme selskab.
By the end of the year the deficit will be in the region of 7 000 million ECU, notwithstanding the supplementary measures which might be adopted in the meantime for disposing of the agricultural surpluses.
Hvorledes kan denne effekt sammenlignes med omkostningsstrukturerne for den europæiske Airbus, som ikke har nogen militære forgængere?
But we must turn our attention firmly to the future. We must remember that there can be no respect for the common agricultural policy without Com' munity preference.
Vi ser frem til svarene på disse spørgsmål, som jeg tror det vil være vanskeligt at fastslå betydningen af.
Without that rule there can be no acquisition of markets and no growth in trade.
Pegado Liz (RDE). - (PO) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg vil allerførst udtrykke min glæde over, at det ad forhandlingens vej blev muligt at stoppe det, jeg vil betragte som en handelskonfrontation mellem USA og EF.
Although financial discipline demands the reduction of agricultural surpluses, it also requires a political revision of the Lomé conventions which are, sad to say, now clearly bankrupt.
Jeg vil gerne sige til vore amerikanske konkurrenter og handelspartnere : Træd varsomt.
Can it be that the cost of the recent conference held in Tanzania was borne solely by the Community budget?
Bring os ikke igen på randen af en ny konfrontation.
Such aberrations cannot continue.
Som politikere forstår vi naturligvis det pres og de bekymringer, vore amerikanske politiske venner er udsat for i deres egne stater på grund af arbejdsløsheden, ligesom vi føler det samme pres i alle vore med lemsstater.
I welcome the agreement, the compromise proposed by the Council of Ministers, for which my group will be voting, and hope also that the Commission's proposals, expressed yesterday by the President of the Com mission as regards the new resources for our budget, will be adopted by the Council of Ministers.
Men de må vide og erkende, at amerika nerne nu har fået deres vilje i et stykke tid, når det gælder det internationale marked for luftfartsindu
They would enable our Assembly to play a full part which must in the first instance be a political one.
På vort sidste møde advarede jeg mod farerne ved en handelskrig, hvis konsekvenser er svære at bedømme for begge parter, og Parlamentets beslutning under stregede da også klart fordelene ved at nå til enighed.
I am afraid that recent discussions on agriculture will have done little to reverse this trend. We tabled amendments in December that really could have done something to reduce intensive farming by boosting conversion to extensive methods.
Men ikke for enhver pris.
Those amendments were rejected by Parliament.
Det, vi rejser tvivl om, er aftalens betingelser, som Parlamentet på forhånd ikke er blevet informeret om.
And it really is laughable for Parliament to be going along with a compromise by the Council involving a rate of less than half a point in one thousand.
Der er her ikke alene tale om en krænkelse af det grundlæggende princip om fællesskabspræference, men også Europas betingel-
What counts in such calculations is the first significant figure after the decimal point, and in this case the significant figure is the figure after the first zero after the decimal
Den kan tvinge mange af dem, der siger, at de tror på Europa, men i praksis kun tænker på deres egne inte resser, til i højere grad at handle i overenstemmelse med deres ord.
The amendments of December 1986 have been retained, the apparently inviolable ceiling on the maximum percentage rate of increase is now looking distinctly patchy to say the least, and the additional paragraph on agricultural policy is certainly not without its significance.
Alvorligere er det, at ud over en vis partiel gevinst, visse lande kan få af epidosen, gjorde den opnåede aftale ikke ende på en krig; den begrænsede sig til en våbenstilstand.
Yet I think we would be well advised to resist the temptation to think in terms of winners and losers.
Det skal lykkes at forvandle det kludetæppe, Europa er i dag, til en europæisk blok. Derfor skal der opbygges et autonomt og økonomisk og social integreret område, som er baseret på en fælles kulture hvor de peridære regioner har deres egen plads.
Mr President, honourable Members, you will be aware that the Council was able last week — early in the morningOn Friday, 13 February to be precise, which the superstitious will have seen as an unfortunate choice of date — to reach agreement on a compromise proposal.
Der eksisterer ingen blok, så længe man ikke skaber betingelser, der gør det muligt for de forskellige europæiske lande ikke at bekæmpe hinanden og forsvare sig, men at arbejde henimod en union.
I hope, and this is of course also the Coun cil's feeling on the matter, that Parliament too will now give its approval to the proposed solution so that the budgetary procedure for 1987 can thus be con cluded.
Det europæiske Råd i Fontainebleau blev for eksempel højdepunktet i forhandlingerne om Portugals og Spaniens tiltrædelse.
In the first place, we must recognize that this has been more a case of reaching a particular milestone than of drawing up a definitive budget.
Ingen vil, efter at have læst til trædelses traktaterne, tro, at man fortsat tænker på den europæiske union som en mulighed, og at 1992 er skæringsåret for det indre marked, når man ser alle de deri nedfældede begrænsninger, som stadg er gældende. dende.
A budget with negative reserves, a substantial hidden deficit in agricultural spending, additionally encumbered with the not inconsiderable deficit expected for1986 and the extra burden of surplus agricultural stocks can hardly stand guarantor for the ideal Community budget.
Med et handelsunderskud på 176 milliarder dollars, et budgetunderskud på 200 milliarder og en udlandsgæld på 2 milliarder dollars, altsammen resultat af en katastrofal økonomisk politik, er det forståeligt, at USA antager den offensive stilling, det gør.
Before going on to consider some of the main points of the solution now achieved, I should like to pay a special tribute to the role played by Parliament, and in particular by the Committee on Budgets, in finally securing an agreement in the Council of Budget Ministers.
Det, der ikke er acceptabelt er, at USA vil have Europa til at betale for sin interne krise under påskud af Spaniens og Portugals tiltrædelse, der er sket i overensstemmelse med GATT-reglerne.
I should also emphasize the point that it was Parliament's January resolution that finally set the Council on the right course in reaching agreement as between the two arms of the budgetary authority.
EFs under kastelses- og overgivelsespolitik over for USA varsler dårligt for vor forhandlingsposition under Uruguayrunden, Her kan EF ikke møde op som den underlegne partner for at diskutere emner som udvidelsen af GATT til at omfatte tjenesteydelser, eller landbrugs politik.
Finally, I should like to thank all the Members of Parliament and the Vice-President of the Commission, Mr Christophersen, with whom I of course had a lively exchange of views, for all the constructive con tributions they have made.
Hr. Kommissionsformand, hvilken stilling indtager Kommissionen i denne kamps fremtidige faser?
In the second place we must not forget that that whole process that was necessary in order to arrive at this budget has been played out in the presence of public opinion.
Den økonomiske og sociale kohærens kræver en om gående ændring af den aktuelle situation. Det er Europa, der skal bygges op, ikke alene som et alternativ til de eksisterende blokke, men også som tungen på vægtskålen mellem de omtalte blokke.
We are never done talking about Europe's credibility with the citizens of its Member States.
Det spørgsmål vil jeg stille Dem som afslutning på mit indlæg.
Let me now turn to some of the main features of the proposal.
Europa, der er så rig på historie, traditioner og kultur, har ikke juridiske, økonomiske og politiske instrumenter til sit forsvar og sin udvikling, og man er vidne til en gradvis udviskning af Europas karakter. ter.
I believe that the main significance of this budget for 1987 lies in the fact that it can be the occasion of a debate on future financing, and that the opportunity to hold that debate will not now be jeopardized.
Van der Lek (ARC). — (NL) Hr. formand, vi vil ikke stemme for nogen af disse beslutninger.
Thirdly and lastly, a word about the political context in which the budget is situated.
Ikke fordi vi nu går ind for en handelskrig, men fordi der nu — hvad enten der er en aftale eller ej — er en anden krig i gang, en dumpingkrig, der føres af de to store blokke over for den tredje verden.
Here in the Com munity we are already in a situation of financial crisis.
Det, det drejer sig om, er ikke fordelingen af landbrugsmarkedet mellem Fæl lesskabet og amerikanerne .
The budget before us can thus be little more than a transitional budget.
Det drejer sig om at læg ge begrænsninger på denne agro-business for således at sætte en stopper for dumping af overskud, om at føre en landbrugspolitik, der er til gavn for de små landbrugere og for miljøet i Fællesskabet, og en land brugspolitik, der ikke længere er aggressiv.
We are on the threshold of extremely difficult discussions en the extension of the Community's financial resources, and that in circum stances where the Member States are committed to far-reaching cuts in spending, and where the Com munity has its hands full internally in trying to bring order to such matters as fraud prevention and policy restructuring.
Aftalerne med De forenede Stater vil ikke kunne ændre dette, og derfor vil vi ikke støtte beslutninger, der ikke indeholder disse ting, jeg her har nævnt.
Why anyone should see fit to propose additional expenditure of about one million ECU for a commemoration ceremony in Rome in these circum stances is beyond our understanding, but that is by the way.
Gomes (S). — (PO) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, de seneste begivenheder i forbindelserne mellem De for enede Stater og Fællesskabet kan ikke andet end ef terlade os europæere i største undren.
For that reason, Mr President, we are justified in heaving a sigh of relief today, but we have little cause for rejoicing.
Den svaghed, Europa viser, når dets interesser er i modstrid med de eksisterende blokkes interesser, er
Where the problems of agriculture are concerned, I want to mention two points in particular that I think are important.
Airbus-sagen fremtræder som et meget specielt symbol i forhold til majskonflikten og beviser, at et enigt Europa har magt og kan, hvis det vil, blive fremtidens kontinent.
VERHOFSTADT, President-in-Office of the Council. — (NL) Mr President, I should first like to say that it is a very great pleasure for me to be present here with
Dette spørgsmål skal afklares inden for GATTs rammer og ikke ved hjælp af ensidige forsøg på pression.
Verhofstadt that in that way the Budget Council has given a direct answer to the concern recently voiced by the European Parliament in this connection.
Vi har ikke fremsat noget beslutningsforslag, da vi ikke vil skabe præcedens for forhandlinger, som måske senere skal føres med større skarphed.
ation, and it is my personal conviction that the most important thing now will be for the debate on the future financing of the Community to proceed in entirely normal circumstances.
Vi mister midlet uopsættelig forhandling, som bliver nyttesløst, når vi altid mest debatterer de ting, der er sket, men ikke ser, hvad der venter os forude. Hidtil har vi kun set toppen af isbjerget.
As regards the budget shortfall anticipated by the Commission in the agricultural sector for 1987, it is also the Council's intention, as soon as the Commission submits proposals in this connection, to take a decision on this matter as soon as possible.
Filinis (COM). — (GR) Hr. formand, jeg mener, at Kommissionens holdning i forbindelse med bilæggelsen af de seneste skærmydsler med De forenede Stater var alt for eftergivende.
TOMLINSON (S). — Mr President, we have heard from the President-in-Office that the Council sat through the night.
Og de bør slet ikke have lov til at opstille betingelser, som er i modstrid med traktaterne om de to iberiske landes optagelse i Fællesskabet, især når disse betingelser skader Fælles skabet og udviklingslandene.
What it produced at the end of all its deliberations, when on St Valentine's day the Ministers could have been at home with their wives and families, was a manifestation of midnight madness.
Kommissionen har i forbindelse med denne aftale — det vil jeg gerne sige helt klart — opnået alt, som maksimalt var at hente for os.
We do not have a budget; we have a meaningless jumble of figures, held together by two artificial aids.
Det har den fortjent en kompliment for, skønt vi bør være sparsomme dermed.
They are held together by a process of negative reserves — this year on payment and commit ment appropriations.
Men i betragtning af vilkårene og omstændighederne har vi opnået det optimale.
But then we are told that they are exceptional.
Man skal vide, under hvilket pres sådanne for handlinger finder sted.
Exceptional, in this case, seems to mean 'only once a year'.
I striden mellem EF og De forenede Stater udgør landbrugseksporten til Spanien og Portugal kun toppen af isbjerget.
Here the Council goes along with the Commission's proposal where this mechanism is con cerned, and will take up a negative reserve in relation to both commitment and payment appropriations.
Nedenunder gemmer sig andre vigtige spørgsmål: Spillet med dollaren, renterne, handelsprotektionismen og den teknologiske udfordring.
The Council is aware of the major importance that the Eurpopean Parliament attaches to the management of this kind of negative reserve, and it is for this reason — and I should like to emphasize this point — that the policy measures to be taken in order that negative reserves can be constituted are included in the decision.
Hvis Europa skal forenes og udvikle sig, bør det frigøre sig fra det amerikanske overherredømme.
The Council is asking the European Parliament to give its specific approval to this overrun which is provided for in the negative reserves.
Og her må vi understrege, at Rådet, når det nægter at styrke Fællesskabet, gør det modtageligt over for pres udefra.
The Council at all events is determined to speed up the activities of this working party.
I betragtning af omstændighederne og vilkårene har Kommissionen i den forbindelse gjort et godt stykke arbejde.
Clearly, with this budgetary fiddling going on, we now have a budget which we already know, on a minimum estimation, to be 3.8 billion short of income to cover the necessary agricultural expenditure but which is now already in breach of Article 119 of the Treaty.
Den har fjernet muligheden for politisk pres, og den har vist, at Fællesskabet som politisk platform er i stand til at betræde et internationalt krisemanagements vej.
This is totally unacceptable, and we will con tinue to observe that quaint old Anglo-Saxon habit of saying what we meant in December, pursuing it in January and still having sufficient consistency to vote for it in February.
Aftalen er til nød i orden, men vort instrumentarium er juridisk prekært.
This, as you know, relates to undivided appropriations for non-compulsory expenditure.
Efter min mening har vi i den for bindelse helt opfyldt fællesskabssolidariteten — over for Frankrig, over for producenterne — og vi skal internt endnu have klarlagt vor solidariske hæftelse.
The Council considers that by this means it has taken account also in this part of the decision of the European Parliament's request to be given more freedom of manoeuvre in relation to the 1987 budget.
De Clercq, medlem af Kommissionen. — (NL) Hr. formand, inden jeg svarer på de forskellige kommen tarer, der er fremsat om aftalen mellem Fællesskabet og De forende Stater om følgerne af Spaniens og Portugals optagelse i Fællesskabet, tror jeg, det er nødvendigt at minde om de faktiske omstændigheder omkring denne aftale.
ARIAS CAÑETE (ED). — (ES) Mr President, this Parliament last December adopted a position on the budget which inevitably led to a conflict among the budgetary authorities.
For det første er det stadigvæk vor generelle opfattelse, at visse ulemper som følge af Fællesskabets udvidelse, kompenseres af fordele inden for andre sektorer. Vi har imidlertid erkendt, at der var en tidsmæssig kløft mellem den direkte anvendelse af den fælles landbrugspolitiks mekanismer i Spanien og de fordele, der gradvist opstår som følge af reduktionen af de spanske toldafgifter for både landbrugs- og industri produkter.
Today, through an artifical proposal of the Council, a confused operation of budgetary cosmetics is going to be performed by means of which this Assembly will be offered the illusion that the maximum increase in the rate of noncompulsory expenditures is not going to be exceeded and that budgetary discipline will be maintained.
Der er således tale om en pragmatisk, og —
Some of us will see it this way, but not the majority of the Members of this Assembly.
I den forbindelse skal der endvidere tages hensyn til, at erhvervspolitiske forbindelser er en enhed, at handelen med landbrugs produkter ikke kan adskilles fra handelen med industrivarer og tjenesteydelser.
I also think that this budget for 1987 will put an end — and I consider this to be fundamental — to the implementation of the system of provisional twelfths and that we shall now return to the normal budgetary situ
I øvrigt — det må vi heller ikke glemme — giver den gensidige handel os et overskud på 26 milliarder dollars.
Arias Cañete conflict or, — as Mr Peter Brooke would have said — Europe, once more, will have been the victor.
\ vil jeg gerne tilføje — midlertidig løsning, der ikke betyder nogen ændring af den fortolkning, som begge parter giver af artikel XXIV, pkt. 6, i GATT-overens-komsten.
All of this increases even further the relative and everincreasing importance of agricultural guarantee expenditures and this is a considerable obstacle to the development of actions aimed at economic and social cohesion.
I modstrid, hvad jeg her har hørt, forbeholder hver part sig sine rettigheder i denne henseende. de.
That makes the draft budget particularly discriminatory in the case of less-developed regions and countries, like Portugal, for which funds for the restructuring of its industry are not even considered, despite the fact that this was envisaged in the Treaty of
Hvis forhandlingerne var mislykkedes, havde begge parter taget forholdsregler og modforholdsregler.
The vote we are about to take will prove that those of us who wished to maintain budgetary discipline in December 1987 were right.
Hvad ville de amerikanske »modforholdsregler« have været?
For a paltry 5 million ECU so much ado — 'so many saddle-bags', as on old Spanish saying has it — was not necessary.
Hvor vidt ville det være kommet i denne eskalering med uforudseelige og under alle om stændigheder katastrofale følger?
It is a technically imperfect budget, defective in its accounting, which does not take into account the real deficit of the Community.
Eller tillad mig end nu en gang at henvise til dette Parlaments beslutning af 22. janur 1987, hvori det med rette understreges, hvor katastrofale følgerne af en handelskrig ville være, og hvori der gøres opmærksom på, at de øko nomiske følger af en eskalering af forholdsregler og modforholdsregler ville være langt større — det er Parlamentets egne ord — end de beløb, som denne uenighed oprindelige drejede sig om.
We must close this sad chapter and devote our efforts to solving the real problem of the future financing of the Com munity by achieving an interinstitutional agreement which will allow the Commission to develop Com munity policies effectively.
Det er i øvrigt også klart, at en ny åben konflikt ville have tynget hårdt på indledningen af den nye GATT-runde og ville have været »vand på møllen« for de protektionistiske kræfter, der navnlig gør sig gældende i De forende Stater.
MIRANDA DA SILVA (COM). — (PT) Mr President, what we are considering at this moment is not a new draft budget from the Council, but simply a device concocted by the latter for the purpose of putting the finishing touches to a budgetary procedure which was not approved by Parliament last December.
Dette har Europa-Parlamentet ganske rigtigt gjort opmærksom på i den beslutning, den ved tog for en måned siden.
The first question which faces us now therefore is to decide whether to accept these facts or simply deny what we have previously affirmed and join in the game in which the Council proposes we take part, namely finalising a procedure which is vitiated from the out set.
(FR) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg ønskede at tage tingene i rækkefølge.
BONDE (ARC). — (DA) Mr President, the budget we are debating today is original, not to say illegal or decidedly revolutionary in some respects.
Endelig og for det fjerde ophæves bestemmelsen om, at 15% af det portugisiske kornmarked er forbeholdt fællesskabseksportører som følge af en autonom beslutning, jeg gen tager: autonom beslutning, fra den portugisiske regerings side.
A new category of expenditure is established alongside compulsory and noncompulsory expenditure, i.e. the negative reserve, which will give Parliament more influence over the rules of the Treaty.
