Ved en anden lejlighed vil vi kunne komme med en mere detaljeret redegørelse for dette spørgsmål.
That, of course, is something to which we will need to address our selves in the coming months.
Cot (S), formand for Budgetudvalget. — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg har forstået, at Kommissionen juridisk har forpligtet sig til at respektere den interinstitutionelle aftale.
I should also like to express my thanks to the Council and to the Permanent Representative of the European Community in Ottawa for the great kindness and courtesy they extended to us, particularly in the matter of arranging meetings with third countries, which was one of the most useful aspects of our involvement in these meetings.
Jeg takker hr. Varfis og tager under disse omstændigheder de af Budgetudvalget stillede ændringsforslag tilbage.
Looking back, although it is sad that nothing more positive was able to come out of it, nonetheless we can look forward with some cautious optimism to the next stage in Geneva.
De Clercq, medlem af Kommissionen. — (NL) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, det såkaldte midtvejsrevision, som blev holdt i sidste uge i Mon treal, er ikke blevet den absolutte succes, som vi havde håbet på. Mange kommentatorer har endog uden videre betegnet mødet som en fiasko.
On behalf of my group, I express my appreciation to Commissioner de Clercq, as this is his last appearance before this House, for his courtesy to this House and for the very helpful and positive way in which he has defended the interests of the Community during his last four years as Commissioner responsible for external relations.
Disse forhandlin ger er kun halvvejs, og Fællesskabet selv har hele tiden kraftigt understreget, at denne midtvejsrevision ikke var nogen lejlighed til at opnå definitive resul tater. Det vil først kunne ske ved slutningen af runden i 1990 og da kun inden for rammerne af en global pakke, hvori alle lande bliver tilgodeset.
It is a paradox in a sense, when you consider how sophisticated the world's economy has now become, that agreement on things like inter national trade in services, on intellectual property and on all the other myriad activities which now make the world so economically interdependent should have been put at risk by a basic disagreement over one of the oldest industries in the world, agriculture.
Af midtvejsrevisionen kunne man således ikke for vente for meget.
There was a certain irony in observing the behaviour of the Japanese delegation.
Ikke desto mindre er det gjort store fremskridt på ikke mindre end elleve af de femten forhandlingsområder.
The Japanese, of course, are generally in the firing line on these occasions.
Jeg glæder mig over og takker for Kommissionens holdning, som den er kommet til udtryk i hr. Schmidhubers erklæring, og derfor tager jeg ændringsforslag nr. 1, 2, 3, 4 og 5 tilbage i overens stemmelse med Udvalget om Regionalpolitik og Fysisk Planlægnings ønske, og jeg glæder mig ligele des over, at Rådets og Kommissionens åbenhed over for Parlamentets synspunkter for en gangs skyld har åbnet mulighed for en fælles holdning, der viser, at Kommissionen og Rådet med god vilje har lyttet til Europa-Parlamentets stemme.
Commissioner de Clercq set a standard which other Commissioners would do well to follow, not just in relation to the information which he always made available, hav ing been present at countless meetings of the Com mittee on External Economic Relations, but also by the way in which he talked and the way in which he accepted many of Parliament's suggestions, particularly in the committee meetings. I would like to com mend him as a person, as an expert and as a politician and also praise the way in which he played the institu tional and democratic game inside the Community, at a time when we complain so much about the lack of democracy.
For så vidt angår de områder, hvor man opnåede en aftale i Montreal, vil jeg for det første nævne aftalen om de tropiske produkter.
It would be a pity if, in our consciousness of the fail ure to agree on agriculture, we did not acknowledge that some progress was made in some quite significant areas.
En vigtig forudsætning fra Fællesskabets side er opfyldt, for så vidt som pakken ikke blot er industrilandenes værk. men også udviklingslande har bidraget dertil i over ensstemmelse med deres muligheder.
I suspect — and this was really my own conclusion based on observation of what was going on — that the meetings took place partly at a bad time for the Americans, as has been pointed out by Mr Seeler.
Dette bidrag består i nogle tilfælde af en bedre adgang til deres markeder, hvilket bl.a. er vigtigt for vore AVS-partnere.
We had the extraordinaiy spectacle of Mr Yeutter having his successor as trade negotiator announced in the middle of the Montreal negotiations — which cannot have been very helpful to him.
Disse får faktisk således nye afsætningsmuligheder i bytte for en vis formindskelse af deres præferencemargen i Fællesskabet.
Secondly, they took place in the interregnum caused by the handover of power from President Reagan to President-elect Bush.
Der er indgået aftale om retningslinjerne for de faktiske forhandlin ger, som vil starte i juli næste år.
Plainly, that meant a lack of flexibility in the American negotiating position.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen under ét er afsluttet.
It is true to say, from the observations that we made in Montreal, that all the contracting parties to the GATT are still committed to the Punta del Este objectives.
Afstemningen finder sted i dag kl. 17.00.
We must not forget that the present Uruguay Round has two more years to run.
Vi kunne også blive enige om en vigtig forbedring af reglerne for bilæggelse af stridigheder.
I hope that we can also be present at the next discussions in Geneva and at other discussions with EFTA.
De nuværende procedurer er blevet mere effektive, og troværdigheden af det multilaterale system er derved blevet styrket.
The European Parliament will be respected so much more if it can make a positive contribution to the decisionmaking process, and not just ratify the decisions at a later stage when everything has been approved.
Yderligere arbejde vil være nødvendigt i de kommende to år for at tvinge enhver til en politisk forpligtelse til at undlade unilaterale handlinger, hvilket stadig kostede amerikanerne i Montreal for stor umage.
Furthermore, as a Member of Parliament, I do not accept that my role is to rubber-stamp documents which have already been drawn up.
Desuden skal der forhandles videre om procedurerne for godkendelsen af panelrapporter og om kontrollen med gennemførelsen af disse.
As an elected Member of Parliament I hope to be able to participate constructively in the decisionmaking pro cess.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er Kommissionens redegørelse om GATT-forhandlin-gerne i Montreal.
I am hoping that the coming months, which, of course, represent a great challenge to the Secretary-General of the GATT, will lead to greater understand
Jeg håber, at denne erkendelse kan omsættes til en aftale i de kommende måneder.
I would like a very clear answer to this question if at all possible.
Også den tekst, som blev godkendt om, hvordan GATT-systemet fungerer, vil medvirke til en styr kelse af GATTs troværdighed og status.
Finally, I would like additional clarification on the Community's position regarding the mechanism for settling multilateral disputes.
Dette punkt udformes nærmere i tekstens indledning og åbner mulighed for styrkelse af forholdet mellem GATT og andre internationale organisationer såsom Den Internationale Valutafond og Verdensbanken.
In certain sectors of the European press it has been said that the Community has put forward certain reservations to the settlement of disputes in connection with the GATT I would like more information on this matter.
Hvad endelig landbruget angår, var diskussionen i Montreal simpelthen skuffende.
In relation to the Uruguay Round, my colleagues have already given an opinion on the eleven files which have been adopted and on the files which have not been adopted.
Fra De Forenede Staters side var der ikke den mindste vilje til at tale om noget andet end om en fuldstændig fjernelse af al støtte og al beskyttelse i landbruget, som har direkte eller indirekte indflydelse på handelen. Dermed blev kernen i den fælles landbrugspolitik faktisk angrebet, hvilket selvfølgelig var uacceptabelt for os.
I would like to say that in my country, Portugal, there was general satisfaction at the position defined by the Communities and, bearing in mind our special relations with Africa, we were quite satisfied with the agreement reached on tropical products.
Fra vor side gjorde vi opmærksom på den fuldstændige mangel på realisme i De Forenede Staters holdning og opfordrede til respekt for teksten i Punta del Este-Erklæringen.
At a time when Third World countries, and in particular the ACP countries, are experiencing problems in relation to debt, it is important that the developed countries show a willingness to help.
På grundlag af denne erklæring havde vi en aftale inden for rækkevidde om en indefrysning af det nuværende støtteniveau.
And more than offer ing financial assistance this means essentially opening up markets.
En for mindskelse af det nuværende støtteniveau i 1990 med en bestemt procentdel og en politisk forpligtelse til at forhandle om en yderligere formindskelse af støtten på længere sigt.
Trade, free trade and the opening up of new markets can be equally or even more important in terms of development aid than any amount of funds we can make available to those countries.
Det er jo utænkeligt, at Uruguay-Runden kunne afsluttes uden resultat på dette område.
Mr Commissioner, I hope to be able to welcome you soon into this group of which I am a member.
Den vedtagne tekst udgør en god retnings linje for förhandlingsgruppen for resten af forhandlingerne og indeholder allerede de vigtigste elementer af en aftale.
I hope that you will be a European Member of Parliament in the next Parliament and I hope that in the next Parliament you will help to reinforce Parliament's role in external economic relations. You will be very welcome in this Assembly.
Ved forhandlingerne skal alle restriktioner på de internationale tjenesteydelser tages op.
LATAILLADE (RDE). — (FR) Mr de Clercq has told us that the Montreal talks were a disappointment.
Det gælder jo om at give vore eksportører virkelige muligheder på vore partneres markeder, ikke blot teoretisk, men også i praksis.
What with the Rhodes Summit that we discussed this morning, and Montreal which we are discussing this afternoon, it is a day for disappointments.
Vi har i Montreal endnu en gang understreget, at en aftale skal kunne underskrives af et så stort antal lande som muligt og ikke blot, således som nogle vil have det, af medlemmerne af OECD og af et par nye industrialiserede lande.
Similarly, regarding access to the market, I should say that the next Commissioner responsible for external economic relations must take into account the need to open the Japanese and Asian markets to European products. Our position is nowhere near satisfactory.
Derfor har vi opfordret til, at der tages hensyn til udviklingslandenes legitime udviklingsbehov uden at skade liberaliseringsprocessen.
Whether through normalization or commercial structures, which in practice are a barrier to the entry of European goods, we are still at a clear disadvantage in relation to Japan, Korea, Taiwan or any other country in South-East Asia.
Det betyder i praksis, at der ikke er plads til globale undtagelsesbestemmelser.
On the one hand there is the European bloc, which, in economic terms, is the most open bloc in the world.
Det var først og fremmest dette dødvande på land brugsområdet, som skadede atmosfæren i Montreal.
Firstly, I would say that failure in Montreal was predictable.
En række udviklingslande truede endog med at bringe alle opnåede aftaler i fare, hvis der ikke kom nogen aftale om landbruget i stand.
It is serious, extremely serious even, but it was predictable, and our group has never failed to get it right whenever there was a need in this House to condemn the various attacks, multiple, frontal or insidious, which have been mounted on agriculture and Europe's farmers.
Den eneste måde at undgå en fuldstændig fiasko på, var at indefryse alle opnåede aftaler og give generaldirektøren for GATT, hr. Arthur Dunkel, til opgave at søge en løsning på de nuværende problemer i begyndelsen af april 1989.
We have never failed to draw attention to the serious dangers which threaten and will long continue to threaten the common agricultural policy, and to alert Europeans in general and our colleagues in particular to the dangers of lowering our guard here or anywhere else, of revealing or neglect ing some of the cards we hold before the game has begun.
I den første uge i april træder forhandlingskomiteen så på ny sammen i Genève, denne gang på højt embedsmandsplan.
I also think that we must continue to force on the United States not only the agricultural file but also all the provisions relating to the persistent unilateral activities of the Trade Bill, which in time they will have to revoke.
Jeg har store forhåbninger til, at det vil lykkes denne forhandlingskomité, under forudsætning af at alle delegationer vil indtage en konstruktiv holdning, at lægge fantasi for dagen og vise politisk vilje.
In the sphere of external economic relations there is no place for unilateral actions by any of the States represented in the international league of nations.
Fællesskabet er villigt hertil.
So, Mr Commissioner, I think that the Com mission must continue to insist on this point.
Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, indtil nu har jeg behandlet de anliggender, som der blev indgået en aftale om.
Finally, to conclude, I would like to ask him three small questions which I would like him to answer in his final speech.
For så vidt angår de andre emner, vil jeg gerne for det første nævne beskyttelsesforanstaltningerne, »safeguards«.
The first is about his personal feelings on the differ ence between the Bush and the Reagan administrations regarding the negotiation of the agricultural file.
Der var ganske vist ikke store forventninger, men vi havde dog håbet, at Montreal ville virke fremmende på de videre forhandlinger.
Does he anticipate any change or any rapprochement with the positions of the Cairns group?
Det samme gælder for tekstilforhandlingerne. Ganske vist var alle enige om, at de faktiske forhandlin ger skulle begynde tidligt i 1989, men en række delegationer ville allerede nu forprogrammere afslutningen på multifiberaftalen på en måde, som var uacceptabel for Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
Secondly, we don't need to be given a lesson.
I betragtning af tekstilsektorens følsomhed, ikke blot i Fællesskabet, er dette indlysende.
When it comes to national aids, the USA is top of the league in farm subsidies because it outweighs the European level by 6 to 1, Furthermore it is upsetting and intolerable to be abused, threatened, manipulated as we were in Mon treal.
Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, ved begyndel sen af mødet i Montreal erklærede jeg på Det Europæiske Fællesskabs vegne, at midtvejsrevisionen ville blive en succes, hvis fire mål ville blive opnået.
Secondly, regarding the trade war in the meat sector, since no agreement was reached in Montreal on the agricultural file and since the Community legislation to stop the importation of American meat comes into
For det første en aftale om tropiske produkter.
Thirdly, our earlier attitude was naive.
De Clercq rimelig aftale om landbruget, er ikke opnået.
Lataillade here, there and everywhere.
Dette er fortsat det vanskeligste punkt i den pakke, som skal være klar hen imod april 1989.
I have nothing but the greatest admiration for his negotiating skills and for the very wide experience that he brought to his work.
Men jeg kan ikke forestille mig, at nogen ville sætte hele Uruguay-Runden på spil for landbrugets skyld, hvor vigtigt dette punkt end er.
I would like to wish him every success and happiness when he leaves this House and in whatever he is going to do in the future.
Jeg håber, at Kommissionen for Det Europæiske Fællesskabs vedkommende vil sætte de trufne aftaler i kraft pr. 1. januar 1989.
One should not start talks from a position of weakness, and virtue is out of fashion.
Derimod kom der indvendinger fra nogle AVS-lande.
DE CLERCQ, Member of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what to say.
De er bange for deres privilegerede adgang til EF-markedet.
I am most grateful, Mr President, to you and to all your colleagues who have said such kind things about me.
Under en samtale med AVS-landenes repræsentant henviste vi til det japanske markeds muligheder som en slags kompensation.
I have to say that I feel I have done my duty, indeed that I am something of a dyed-in-the-wool parliamentarian myself.
Reaktionen var bemærkelsesværdig. AVS-landene sagde, at de ikke havde adgang til det japanske marked; at det i modsætning til EF- markedet var fremmed for dem.
Having served for 26 years in one of the Member States' national parliaments, I think I understand the very legitimate sensibilities of this House.
Et af de mest tilfredsstillende aspekter af mødet i Montreal var det eksemplariske sammenhold inden for Fællesskabets rækker.
Fourthly, great efforts are being made to disrupt the common agricultural policy. Mr De Clercq said just now — and these are his very words — that it was a blow unacceptable to us.
Takket være en konstant proces af koordination og information mellem Kom missionen og medlemsstaterne har Fællesskabet under hele konferencen over for omverdenen og over for medierne talt med én stemme. For første gang var også en delegation fra Europa-Parlamentet til stede ved en GATT-forhandling.
True, but does this attack from outside not come from those who are able to take advantage of attacks mounted on the Community from within?
Jeg kan selv følgelig ikke tale på dennes vegne, men jeg har alligevel indtryk af, at medlemmerne af Parlamentet på grundlag af kontakterne med mig, mine embedsmænd, delegationer fra medlemsstater, trejdelande og med mange andre parlamentsmedlemmer har kunnet danne sig et fuldstændigt billede af forløbet af midtvejsrevisionen.
Well, a few days before Montreal we learned that world milk production was considerably up and that the increase originated exclusively in North America and Australasia.
At vide, at jeg personligt har kunnet bidrage til denne premiere, nemlig tilstedeværelsen af Europa-Parlamentet under så vigtige internationale forhandlinger, giver grund til at være tilfreds.
This fact alone would be enough to prove my point, but I would add that our Community is a net importer of farm products, because we import nearly 50 million tonnes of farm products for animal feed every year.
Dette er sidste gang, jeg taler til Parlamentet om Uruguay-Runden, i hvert fald på Kommissionens vegne.
I shall try to reply briefly to the questions I have been asked.
Jeg er særdeles tilfreds med, at jeg har fået lov at deltage i begyndelsen af disse store forhandlinger og midtvejsrevisionen.
Regarding tropical products, I think, like Mr Seeler and all the European Parliament delegates who went to Montreal, that this represents a success for the international community but above all a huge success for the European Community.
Men jeg er overbevist om, at han ligesom jeg kan regne med Europa-Parlamentets støtte, og at vide det giver overordentlig stor styrke og selvsikkerhed.
And if agree ment was reached even before the Montreal meeting had officially begun, I think I can say in all modesty that it was thanks in very large measure to the European Community.
De mente, at de ellers ville sakke mere og mere bagud i forhold til industrilandene.
It may be regrettable, but the Community could not once more give ground in Montreal.
På den anden side ønskede de, at verdenstekstilaftalen så vidt muligt burde ophøre med det samme.
Our farmers, and the Americans too, would not have understood it and would not have tolerated it.
Formanden. — Med gruppeformændenes godkendelse vil jeg nu gerne foreslå forsamlingen, at vi afholder en debat på en time, hvor hver gruppe og medlemmerne uden for grupperne får fem minutters taletid.
Thus the Community announced in Montreal that all the GSP aspects of the agreement on tropical products, that is to say, all the aspects we can judge and can apply independently, will be applied, together with the special measures which we advocated for those countries known as the least advanced countries.
Personligt beklager jeg dog, at man nok forhandlede indgående om beskyttelse af intellektuel ejendom, men hidtil ikke viste sig villig til også at medtage beskyttelse af arbejdende mennesker mod misbrug og udbytning i reformerne af GATT- reglerne.
I wanted to say that we respect you for that, because, ladies and gentlemen, we can't have confrontations of this kind taking place under the rule of Shakespeare's witches in Macbeth: 'Fair is foul and foul is fair'.
Jeg vil gerne meddele forsamlingen, at fristen for at fremsætte forslag til beslutning er kl. 19 i aften, og fristen for at stille ændringsforslag til disse forslag til beslutning er i morgen kl. 17.
PRESIDENT. — Before I give the floor to Commissioner De Clercq to reply, I would like, on my own behalf and on behalf of all the Members of this House, to add our tribute to the tributes already paid to the Commissioner for the enormous contribution that he has made to the work of this Parliament.
Afstemningen finder sted på fredag.
I would reply briefly as follows to Mr Pimenta's three questions.
Derimod er det rigtigt, at Det Europæiske Fællesskab og USA ikke kunne blive enige, eller
Believe me, in international talks the personality of the negotiators is important.
Alle forhandlingerne stod imidlertid, som vi også lige har hørt, i skyggen af uenigheden om handelen med landbrugsprodukter.
I have watched Commissioner De Clercq negotiating and advising people who were going on delegations
Jeg beklager, at der heller ikke opnåedes enighed inden for landbrugssektoren.
than knowing who will actually be in charge in the United States.
Parlamentet har altid været for globalitetsprincippet, men det skal selv følgelig ikke overdrives.
I can only tell you, as I tell him, that wherever I go in the world, it is the opinion of the majority that Willy De Clercq is running Europe.
Fællesskabet har sine erfaringer med pakkeløsninger, det har det vist på mangfoldige topmøder.
I disabuse them from time to time, of course, but nevertheless he does hold that respect throughout the world for the job that he has done on our behalf.
EF's holdning gik derimod ud på at tilbyde trinvis nedskæring af subventionerne.
As regards the trade war over meat — you alluded to the matter of hormones — I have to say that we still have no solution.
Efter landbrugsministermødet i Bruxelles i mandags er jeg dog optimistisk med hensyn til, at EF vil vise den fornødne smidighed.
On the subject of the system for settling disputes in GATT, a few outstanding problems are still being discussed. The first is a political question.
Det, vi har brug for, er ikke urealistiske utopier, men skridt for skridt konkrete og gennemførlige reformer, således som Det Europæiske Fællesskabet har praktiseret det igennem tre-fire år.
GREDAL (S). — (DA) Mr President, in the debate on the cosmetics directive yesterday some uncertainty arose regarding the legal basis for this proposal.
På den anden side skal Fællesskabet også passe på ikke at isolere sig handelspolitisk i landbrugsspørgsmålet.
Before we pass on to the vote therefore, I would like to ask Commissioner Varfis to confirm that the draft directive is based on Article 100a, which means that a Member State can, where appropriate, apply paragraph 4 of Article 100a.
Det er dog mit indtryk, at det drejer sig om mere end det for amerikanerne, nemlig om større kontrol med det europæiske landbrugshjemmemarked.
A further point under discussion concerns the right to have panels set up.
