Andriessen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (NL) For at udelukke enhver tvetydighed og misforståelse: jeg taler om hr. Fords spørgsmål nr. 46 om paskontrol.
MILLAN, Member of the Commission. — I am afraid I cannot agree with the honourable Member when he describes as inadequate the relationship between the Commission departments responsible for customs union and Member States' customs administrations.
Jeg kan besvare dette spørgsmål meget kort: de områder, som det ærede medlem nævner, udgør en del af det, der hedder the common travel area.
This relationship is the fruit of long cooperation and is character ized by a considerable degree of frankness and mutual understanding in the management of the customs union.
Rejsende, der overskrider en grænse mellem to af de områder, der hører til dette area, underkastes ingen grænsekontrol for øjeblikket uanset deres nationalitet.
The considerable progress made towards the harmonization of customs legislation throughout the Community attests to the constructive spirit of this relationship.
Kommissionen er ikke bekendt med en eventuel ændring af denne ordning fremover.
I must also mention the numerous instances of logistical and administrative cooperation outside the legislative area which are further evidence that management of the customs union is a real partnership.
Andriessen. — (NL) Jeg ved ikke, om jeg helt har forstået det ærede medlems indlæg.
TITLEY (S). — I am a bit confused about the situation.
Det ligger fast, og det gælder for alle. Det gælder ikke kun for Det Forenede Kongerige.
The United Kingdom has taken up this position because, it argues, in order to protect itself from terrorists, drug abusers and smugglers it needs to have passport controls.
Det Forenede Kongerige er her slet ikke i en speciel situation.
There are no passport controls from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
Det Forenede Kongerige er naturligvis en ø, men det er ikke ensbetydende med, at dette i sig selv retfærdiggør en særlig situation. Det er der ikke tale om.
So what is to stop a terrorist going to the Isle of Man from South America, shall we say, and then going to the United Kingdom without going through passport controls?
For så vidt som der er tale om mennesker inden for EF, kan jeg ikke indse, hvorfor Det Forenede Kongerige skal have en anden stilling end et hvilket som helst andet land i Det Europæiske Fællesskab. Det gælder naturligvis også for the common travel area.
Indeed, what is to stop any undesirable getting into the European Community via the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands if there are no controls?
Det er nøjagtig det samme.
That is what I would like to know.
Jeg kan ikke indse, hvorfor der skal gælde en anden ordning for Det Forenede Kongerige end for alle andre EF-lande.
In his question Mr Rogalla focuses on the division of tasks between national administrations and the Commission departments.
Vi er ét fællesskab, vi tilhører det alle, og vi har alle nøjagtig de samme rettigheder og pligter.
While it is important to apply the principle of subsidiarity restricting local economy only when the common interest dictates, this does not preclude special relationships between customs administrations and the Commission departments or between customs administrations themselves.
Sådan ser jeg situationen efter den 1. januar 1993.
In this context the Commission departments are examining the working methods of the customs services with a view to achieving the greatest
McMahon (S). — (EN) Jeg mener, at det, hr. Ford gerne ville have frem, er, at Det Forenede Kongerige har sagt, at det ikke ville gennemføre fællesskabspolitikken vedrørende fri bevægelighed.
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) I do not know whether I have fully understood what the honourable Member said.
Det har sagt det højt og klart ved flere lejligheder.
In so far as external frontiers are concerned and people wish to come in from outside, the frontiers will remain.
Vi vil få en situation, hvor der vil være fri bevægelighed for borgere på Man og Kanaløerne ind i Det Forenede Kongerige, og hvor der på grund af Det Forenede Kongeriges politik vil blive diskrimineret imod fæl
That does not only apply to the United Kingdom, which in this respect is simply not
Crampton (S). — (EN) Ligesom kommissæren mener jeg heller ikke, at Det Forenede Kongerige bør have særlige regler.
possible uniformity in customs practices throughout the Community.
Men hvis disse øer ligger i det generelle område, hvor der er fri bevægelighed, så bør de da have fri bevægelighed begge veje.
I would consider this the key to ensuring that all economic operators are treated equally and that the uniform operation of our customs rules applies.
Kan kommissæren forsikre mig, at Jersey, Guernsey og Man vil acceptere fri bevægelighed ind på øerne af fællesskabsborgere, hvis de får lov at bevæge sig i den anden retning?
I am sure Mr Rogalla will appreciate that this pragmatic approach is essential in view of the constraints imposed by the completion of the internal market and the need to respect the principle of subsidiarity.
Andriessen. — (EN) Der er ikke nogen tvivl om, at trafikken skal gå begge veje — overhovedet ingen tvivl.
ANDRIESSEN, Vice-President of the Commission. — (NL) A discussion of textiles and the Uruguay Round could go on for a very long time and may actually be beyond the scope of question time.
Rogalla (S). — (DE) Vi har netop for nylig i forbindelse med besvarelsen af det foregående spørgsmål og også ved dette spørgsmål oplevet, hvor vigtige disse ting i mellemtiden er blevet, og at de hører til alle kommissionsmedlemmers daglige arbejdsprogram.
ROGALLA (S). — (DE) We have just seen in the answer to the previous question and also with this question how important these things have become in the meantime and that they are part of the day to day tasks of all members of the Commission.
Det vil jeg gerne udtrykke min anerkendelse af her, helt bortset fra, at jeg glæder mig over igen at se næstformand Andriessen her i dag.
I should like to give special emphasis to this with a word of praise, quite apart from the fact that I am glad to see Mr Vice-President Andriessen here again today.
Det er længe siden, jeg har set ham, så optaget har han været som Fællesskabets udenrigsminister.
It is a long time since I have seen him as he has been so busy as this Community's foreign minister.
Formanden. — Spørgsmål nr. 47 af Rogalla (H0538/92):
The greater part of the textile chapter in the text presented by Mr Dunckel in December last year is the result of negotiations, that is to say, is based on agreement between the contracting parties.
Deler Kommissionen min opfattelse, at samarbejdet mellem toldkontorerne og toldvæsenet i medlemsstaterne og de kompetente eksperter i Kommissionen vedrørende toldunionen som Fællesskabets grundlag fortjener prædikatet »mangelfuldt«? gelfuldt«?
But what we call amongst ourselves, in our jargon, the economic package results from a decision taken by Mr Dunckel, because the negotiating parties could not agree amongst themselves about the content of the economic package.
Men mit særlige spørgsmål er nu, om Fællesskabet ikke har brug for en toldforvaltning, en EF-toldfor-valtning, der ligesom Miljøagenturet sikrer en koor dination — i det mindste på toppen.
But my particular question now is whether the Community does not need a customs administration, a Community customs administration to ensure coordination at least at the upper level, rather like the environment agency.
Nationale forvaltninger, samarbejde — det er alt sammen smukt og godt, men på miljøområdet har vi et Miljøagentur, på valutaområdet har vi en Valuta bank.
National administrations and cooperation are all well and good but in the sphere of the environment one has an environment agency, in the sphere of currency one has a currency bank.
Har vi ikke i en toldunion, som er Fællesskabets grundlag, i det mindste brug for spiren til en EF-forvaltning, og hvornår vil den opstå?
In a customs union, which is the foundation of the Community, do we not need at least the rudiments of a Community administration, and when will it be set up?
Milian, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Jeg er bange for, at jeg ikke kan være enig med det ærede medlem, når han beskriver forholdet mellem de i Kommissionen for told ansvarlige afdelinger og medlemsstaternes toldadministrationer som mangel fuldt.
Thirdly the growth in quotas, which are not part of the process of acceptance in the GATT system. So about that we are not yet in agreement.
Forholdet er frugten af lang tids samarbejde og er kendetegnet ved en betydelig grad af åbenhed og gensidig forståelse i forvaltningen af toldunionen.
Agreeing on these points is naturally linked up with the wider field in which the negotiations are taking place.
De betydelige fremskridt, der er gjort med hensyn til harmoniseringen af toldlovgivningen i hele Fælles skabet beviser den konstruktive ånd i dette forhold.
As regards access to the markets, negotiations are still in progress, which means that no final assessment of the result can yet be given.
Jeg må også nævne de talrige eksempler på logistisk og administrativt samarbejde uden for lovgivningsområdet, som er yderligere bevis på, at forvaltningen af toldunionen sker i et reelt partnerskab.
I am sorry, but that is the position as it appears at the moment. That means therefore that we must still wait to see whether eventually a satisfactory situation will be reached in the sphere of textiles.
Milian. — (EN) Jeg mener, at jeg i mit oprindelige svar tilkendegav, at der er et behov for en pragmatisk holdning her.
MILLAN. — I think I indicated in my original answer that there is need for a pragmatic approach here.
Der er visse ting, hvor man har brug for harmonisering, men der er andre ting, hvor det, der er brug for, er det tætteste samarbejde og partnerskab mellem de forskellige nationale administrationer og naturligvis partnerskab med de afdelinger i Kommissionen, der er involveret i det.
There are certain things where one needs harmonization but there are other matters where what is required is the closest cooperation and partnership between the different national administrations and of course partnership with the Commission departments involved in this.
Jeg mener, at situationen er tilfredsstillende for øjeblik ket.
I think the situation is satisfactory at the moment.
Det er klart, at der stadig er problemer, der skal løses, og fru Scrivener arbejder på at løse disse problemer, men jeg er for øjeblikket ikke bekendt med nogen betydende vanskelighed på dette område, der ikke kan klares ved den holdning, vi indtil nu har indtaget.
Obviously there are still problems to be resolved and my colleague, Mrs Scrivener, is working to resolve these problems but I am not aware at the moment of any significant difficulty in this field that cannot be resolved by the kind of approach that we have made so far.
Jeg er ikke sikker på, at Miljøagenturet i dette tilfælde er et særlig godt eksempel, i betragt ning af de vanskeligheder vi har med at få det placeret.
I am not sure that the Environmental Protection Agency incidentally is a very good example, considering the difficulties that we have had in getting it located.
I det spørgsmål, vi nu behandler, er hurtig handling særdeles nødvendigt, da vi nu er så nær ved udgangen af 1992.
In the particular question we are dealing with now urgency is very important indeed, given the proximity now to the end of 1992.
Men jeg mener, at de nuværende ordninger, der indebærer en masse god vilje og forståelse, fungerer godt.
But we think the present arrangements, which involve a lot of goodwill and understanding, are working well.
Formanden. — Da spørgeren i ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 48 blive besvaret skriftligt. ')
PRESIDENT. — As the author is not present, Question No 48 will be answered in writing. (')
Spørgsmål nr. 49 af Ferrer (H-0537/92):
Question No 49 by Mrs Ferrer (H-0537/92) Subject: Textiles agreement at the Uruguay Round
Verdenshandelen og — for vores vedkommende — EF har behov for, at den nuværende forhandlingsrunde inden for
The revitalization of our economy and the improve ments to the functioning of cooperation agreements which would be brought about by a new GATT agreement are being set back by the lack of significant progress in the area of agriculture.
I sit spørgsmål fokuserer hr. Rogalla på fordelingen af opgaverne mellem de nationale administrationer og Kommissionens afdelinger.
I should like to repeat here this evening, to make it quite clear, that the Commission has always rejected a kind of priority of the agricultural file as against other files.
Selv om det er vigtigt at anvende nærhedsprincipppet og lægge bånd på den lokale økonomi, udelukkende hvor den fælles interesse tilsiger det, udelukker dette ikke særlige relationer mellem toldadministrationerne og Fælles skabets afdelinger eller mellem toldforvaltningerne indbyrdes.
The Commission thinks that the Uruguay Round can only be successfully concluded if a satisfactory solution can be found for all the outstanding files together. That means that agriculture is naturally important but not the scapegoat for all problems.
I den forbindelse undersøger Kommissionens afdelinger toldforvaltningernes arbejdsmetoder med henblik på at nå frem til den størst mulige ensartethed i toldpraksis i hele Fællesskabet.
Market access and, let me say with great emphasis, a satisfactory solution to the services file, where we are still having great difficulties both with the United States and with other countries.
Jeg vil opfatte dette som nøglen til sikring af, at alle erhvervsdrivende behandles ens, og at der gælder ensartet håndhævelse af vore toldbestemmelser. Jeg er sikker på, at hr. Rogalla vil erkende, at denne
So in that sense I do not accept a direct relationship between agriculture on the one hand and textiles, market access and services on the other hand.
GATT bliver afsluttet hurtigt og på en tilfredsstillende måde.
FERRER (PPE). — (ES) Thank you, Mr Andriessen, for this information, which is not the first you have given me on the textile sector.
Kan Kommissionen give oplysninger om den øjeblikkelige situation i forhandlingerne om tekstilaftalen?
But really this sector is having a very worrying time.
Er der ikke risiko for, at de vanskelige forhandlinger i GATT's landbrugsudvalg vil tvinge Kommissionen til at give for store indrømmelser i tekstilaftalen som en slags mod ydelse?
This was made clear again at a meeting in Barcelona of textile managers since there was to some extent the fear that the difficulties in the negotiations on agriculture within GATT would lead to a lowering of the guard in defending the textile sector.
Andriessen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (NL) Tekstiler og Uruguay-Runden er et spørgsmål, der vil kunne kræve lang tid, og som egentlig falder uden for spørgetidens rammer. Jeg vil dog forsøge at fremføre et par væsentlige punkter i forbindelse med denne sag.
Your answer has reassured me. I thank you for that information and should simply like to ask that, just as in the Committee on Regional Policy important efforts are being made with the RETEX programme — although with very scant budgetary resources — to help the reconversion of the sector, there should also be protection for this sector, which is so important for the economy of Europe.
Endelig forbindelsen mellem landbruget og resten.
ties, request and offer and zero for zero and all kinds of things.
For Kommissionen kan Uruguay-Runden kun afsluttes med et positivt resultat, såfremt der kan findes en tilfredsstillende løsning på alle de uløste spørgsmål. Dvs. landbruget er natur ligvis vigtigt, men ikke alle problemers syndebuk.
But where higher tariffs were concerned, the so-called peaks, we think we have correctly carried out what was agreed in Montreal.
Markedsadgang og — det vil jeg gerne understrege — en tilfredsstillende løsning med hensyn til tjene steydelser, hvor der stadig er store vanskeligheder både med De Forenede Stater og med andre lande.
That is certainly not true to the same extent of the United States.
Vi har altid forsvaret forhandlingernes globalitet, og det vil vi blive ved med. I så henseende ser jeg altså en direkte forbindelse med landbruget på den ene side, tekstil, market access og tjenesteydelser på den anden side.
As far as agriculture is concerned I have the impression that we must both have another good think whether we cannot get over the problems still outstanding.
Jeg må naturligvis indrømme, at mange andre lande lægger denne forbindelse.
I think that with a little good will on both sides the problem should be soluble.
Men det er op til os at sørge for, at der opnås et afbalanceret slutresultat.
The dumping of coal is a point which has been under discussion for a considerable time.
I første række vil jeg gerne sige, at størsteparten af tekstilkapitlet i den tekst, der blev forelagt af hr. Dunkel i december sidste år, er et resultat af for handlinger.
I discussed that with a delegation of the European Parliament some time ago.
Dvs. baseret på enighed mellem de kontraherende parter.
It is also a problem which is a thoroughly live issue in the United Kingdom at the present time.
Ferrer (PPE). — (ES) Tak, hr. Andriessen, for denne information; det er ikke første gang, De svarer på mine spørgsmål om tekstilsektoren. Men der er virkelig stor bekymring i denne sektor.
We are examining it seriously, but at the moment I cannot announce any specific action or anything else.
Deres udtalelser har fuldstændigt beroliget mig.
In any case it is receiving our attention, because we see very clearly the problems which it causes.
Jeg takker for disse oplysninger, og i forlængelse af de store bestræbelser, der ganske vist med meget små budgetmidler udfoldes i Udvalget om Regionalpolitik i forbindelse med RETEX-programmet for at støtte omlægningen af denne sektor, vil jeg blot bede Dem om, at denne sektor, der er så vigtig for Europas økonomi, også bliver beskyttet.
The honourable Member knows, as I do, that it is a very complicated question which has repercussions at many levels and must be solved.
Hvad drejer det sig om i den økonomiske pakke? I den økonomiske pakke drejer det sig om følgende. For det første drejer det sig om overgangsperiodens varighed.
TITLEY (S). — I have two questions.
Det drejer sig for det tredje om væksten i de kvoter, der endnu ikke indgår i indføjelsesprocessen i GATT-systemet.
What happens to the Multifibre Arrangement and to the textile industry if there is no agreement by the end of 1992?
Det er vi altså endnu ikke enige om. Enighed om disse punkter hænger naturligvis sam men med den atmosfære, som forhandlingerne frem over forløber i.
Secondly, could the Commissioner confirm that after 1 January 1993 there will be no national textile quotas but Community quotas?
Hvad angår adgang til markederne, er for handlingerne stadig i gang, hvilket betyder, at der ikke kan gives en endelig vurdering af resultatet for øjeblikket.
Could he tell me what assessment has been made of the consequences of that for regional textile industries?
Andriessen. — (NL) Jeg kan godt forstå det ærede medlems indtryk af, at landbrugsspørgsmålet har haft en vis dominans under forhandlingerne i Uruguay-Runden.
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) I can well picture the honourable Member's feelings about a certain priority of the agriculture file in the Uruguay Round negotiations.
Det har defacto i de seneste måneder set ud, som om landbruget var det eneste virklig store spørgsmål. Men lad mig fastslå endnu en gang, at det ikke er tilfældet.
It has in fact seemed, certainly in the last few months, as if agriculture were the only really big file, so let me say quite clearly once again that that is not so.
Landbrug er vigtigt, og jeg ved, at for mange lande er landbruget af afgørende betydning.
Agriculture is important and I know that for very many countries it is decisive.
For Kommissionen, og min kollega, hr. Mac Sharry, der sidder her bag mig, kan bekræfte det, drejer det sig om forhandlingernes globalitet.
As the Commission, and my colleague Mr MacSharry is here behind me to confirm it, we insist on the global nature of the negotiations.
Jeg er slet ikke sikker på, og det vil jeg gerne sige eftertrykkeligt endnu en gang, at det, såfremt det skulle lykkes for os at løse landbrugsspørgsmålet, bliver så let at løse de andre uløste spørgsmål. Spørgsmål som market access, tjenesteydelser osv. Men at andre finder en løsning af landbrugs spørgsmålet utilfredsstillende, fordi de derved und-
I am not at all sure, let me stress again, that even if we manage to solve the agriculture problems, it will be easy to find solutions to the other outstanding files — those on market access, services and so on — or that others will not want to hide behind some objection to the solution for agriculture in order to avoid making reasonable concessions when we are dealing with these other important chapters of the Uruguay Round.
Jeg er egentlig glad for, at jeg her i aften endnu en gang har haft lejlighed til at sige det helt klart.
I am actually glad to have had one more opportunity to make that abundantly clear here this evening.
Donnelly (S). — (EN) Parlamentets Delegation for Forbindelserne med De Forenede Stater rejser i næste uge på besøg i Washington og New York.
DONNELLY. — Parliament's delegation for relations with the United States leaves next week to visit Washing ton and New York.
Det glæder mig, at næstformanden nævnte, at De Forenede Stater ser ud til at gemme sig bag spørgsmålet om landbrug for ikke at komme til at behandle spørgsmålet om tjenesteydelser.
I am glad that the Vice-President has mentioned the fact that the United States seems to be hiding behind the issue of agriculture, so as not to deal with the issue of services.
Kan han lade os vide, om det er rigtigt, at bolden nu ligger hos De Forenede Stater, når det gælder om at få gang i GATT-forhandlingerne igen?
Could he let us know whether it is correct that the ball is now in the court of the United States to unblock the GATT negotiations?
Den anden bemærkning, jeg gerne vil komme med i relation til markedsadgangen i verdenshandelen, er det problem, vi har i mineindustrien.
The second point I would like to raise in relation to market access under global trade is the problem that we have in the mining industry.
Jeg ved, at hr. Andriessen har en sag liggende på sit bord i øjeblik ket om kulindustrien i Det Europæiske Fællesskab og om, at der sælges kul til dumpingpriser fra lande uden for Det Europæiske Fællesskab — fra Kina og Colombia — til under produktionsprisen, hvilket ødelægger mineindustrien i Det Forenede Kongerige.
I know that Mr Andriessen has a file on his desk at the moment dealing with the coal industry in the European Community and the fact that there is dumping of coal from non-European Community countries — from China and Columbia — at below production prices which is destroying the mining industry in the United Kingdom.
Må jeg bede næstformanden om i dette tilfælde at se med velvilje på anmodningen om, at der tages skridt til at standse dumpingeksporten af kul til Det Europæiske Fællesskab, så det kan sikres, at vi giver mineindustrien i Det Forenede Kongerige en chance ved at standse denne billigimport?
Could I ask the Vice-President on this occasion to look favourably on the request to take measures to stop the dumping of coal in the European Community so as to ensure that we give the UK mining industry a chance by stopping these cheap imports?
Andriessen. — (NL) Jeg har lidt svært ved at besvare dette spørgsmål.
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) It is rather hard for me to answer that question.
Vanskeligheden ligger deri, at jeg går ud fra, at vi ved årets udgang har løst Uruguay-Runden, og det falder mig svært, især i fuld offentlighed, at spekulere over den situation, der vil opstå, hvis det ikke er tilfældet.
The difficulty is that I assume that towards the end of this year we shall have solved the Uruguay Round and it is hard for me to speculate, certainly in public, about the situation that will arise if we have not.
