På det tidspunkt manglede det en organisation, det mangle de både politisk og intellektuel tyngdekraft i sine rap porter, det havde meget lidt retning, og, hvad der var allerværst, det havde ikke nogen som helst indvirkning på tankerne eller praksis i nogen af Det euro pæiske Fællesskabs institutioner.
At that time it lacked organization, it lacked both political and intellectual weight in its reports, it had very little direction and, worst of all, it had no effect at all on the ideas or the practice of any of the institutions of the European Community.
Det var ærlig talt fuldstændig spild af penge og plads.
Frankly, it was a total waste of money and a total waste of space.
Dermed er det ikke sagt, at vi går ind for, at institut tet skal beskæftige sig med at undersøge selve miljøet eller den økologiske videnskab.
GIANNAKOU-KOUTSIKOU (PPE). — (GR) Mr President, the question of the European Foundation in Dublin has provoked a great deal of discussion in the past.
For de millioner mennesker i Fællesskabet, der ikke er i beskæftigelse, og som nyder deres otium eller deres tid uden arbejde, er dette klart vigtigt. Ændringsforslagene fra udvalget om miljø- og sund hedsanliggender og forbrugerbeskyttelse tager netop sigte på at opnå dette.
The Committee on Social Affairs, which is the responsible and ideally suited committee, has made an extensive study of the matter and has taken account of the opinion of the Committee on Budgets and of the views expressed from time to time, albeit from an unofficial basis, by those who maintain that the Foundation has great obligations in the area of the environment.
Trods alle fine ord og de beslutninger, der er taget for at få instituttet til forbedring af leve- og arbejdsvilkårene til at fungere bedre, har jeg fortsat mine betænkeligheder.
Drastic action was needed and our criticism was shared, I may say, by all the political groups in this Parliament.
Hidtil er dette øjensynlig ikke lykkedes for instituttet.
I have rarely come across an issue on which there was so much unanimity.
Foreløbig er der i den henseende meget, der skal forbedres, og jeg spekulerer da også på, om det ikke er muligt at indrette instituttets arbejde således, at der skabes en bedre vekselvirkning mellem de ideer om arbejdsvilkårene, som manden på gulvet
We took the view that not enough attention was being paid to living conditions in the Foundation's work and that there was not only too much of a concentration on working conditions compared with the requirements of the original founding statute, but that the definition of work ing conditions itself was far too narrow.
Der er ingen tvivl om, hr. formand, at instituttet i 1987 er et meget forbedret sted.
The European People's Party makes clear first of all its opposition to the Commission's proposal and its agreement with the report by Mr Didó.
Der er ikke nogen
It bases this
Vi er ikke vant til den slags urealistiske hold ninger fra Kommissionens side. I øvrigt kan begrebet »europæisk institut« ikke betyde en forlængelse af Kommissionens organiserede aktiviteter.
position on the fact that there is a proven positive development in the activities of the Foundation, and this permits optimism about its future.
Hvis det var tilfældet, hvad var så formålet med europæiske institutter i forskellige lande?
The criticism of the direction taken by the Foundation in the first years of its operation was justified.
Hvad var formålet, hvis disse ikke kan fungere som uafhængige mekanismer til påvirkning af fællesskabsinstitutionerne for så vidt angår de europæiske befolkningers problemer.
Today, however, the situation is different, and it is a cause for genuine wonder that the Commission has seen fit to submit the proposed system of administrative alterations and con trols which would create a sluggish bureaucratic mechanism with perhaps more problems than existed previously.
Selv om Kommissionen gjorde sit bedste for at sørge for en organisation, der i højere grad er en rettesnor for instituttets arbejde, er jeg imidlertid bange for, at den, da den omsider udarbejdede sine forslag, langt fra opnåede det, der var nødvendigt.
As the rapporteur says, the main function of the Foundation is as an important forum for social dialogue at the European level, and everyone who has spoken has mentioned the problems with the operations of the Foundation over the last ten years.
Vort oprindelige synspunkt var, at bestyrelsen var alt for stor og uhåndterlig, og Kommissionen svarede ved at gøre den endnu større.
Nevertheless, we must accept what every speaker has also stressed, namely that there have been efforts to improve the way the Foundation is run.
Hvis Kommissionens forslag ved tages, vil vi ende med et institut, hvis bestyrelse er 23 gange større end resten af personalet.
The European People's Party rejects the proposal to have an Administrative Board with more members than the number of employees at the Foundation.
Jeg mener ikke, at det er en særlig hensigtsmæssig måde at bruge Fællesskabets penge på. Det er bedre at have en bestyrelse, der er i stand til at give af deres tid og kræfter, og jeg tillader mig at sige, at det ikke altid har været tilfældet tidligere.
And we consider the effective abolition of the powers of the social partners through the exercise of asphyxiating control in all sectors, and particularly over the programme, to be a mistake.
Vi støtter således Didòbetænkningen, men vi ønsker også, at presset på in stituttet bevares, således at de fremskridt, der er gjort i det seneste halvandet år, kan bibeholdes.
Moreover, the procedure for appointing the Director-General and his deputy is indicative of the narrow understanding which per vades the Commission's proposal.
Med hensyn til budgetspørgsmålet er den egenmægtige og ufleksible opdeling i 40, 40 og 20 ikke acceptabel.
When approving the programme for the period 1985-88 the Administrative Board was particu larly concerned to maintain a balance between living conditions and working conditions.
Vi er enige i budgetudvalgets forslag om, at instituttet underlægges de generelle budgetregler, at det modtager descharge fra Parlamentet, og at det koordinerer sit arbejde med Berlininstituttet.
Lastly, the Foundation has made great efforts as regards the organization of conferences in fulfilment of its role as a centre for discussion and the dissemination of research.
I øvrigt står vi fast ved den holdning, at økologi- og miljøområdet kun hører ind under dets aktiviteter, for så vidt som de vedrører leve- og arbejdsvilkårene og ikke det almene miljøproblem.
The four-year programme of the Foundation and its annual work programme do now take account — as the rapporteur himself has pointed out — of the need to establish and maintain a balance between living and working conditions.
Til sidst vil jeg på det europæiske folkepartis vegne anmode Kommissionen om at trække sit forslag til bage og anerkende vore synspunkter, hvilket vil kun ne styrke den allerede optimistiske realisme og give dialogen mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter et ind hold.
The Foundation has gen uinely improved its policy on the dissemination of expertise and also its policy regarding international communication and communication with the relevant committees of Parliament, factors which have helped to make it better known.
Jeg håber, at disse vedvarende drøftelser vil høre op efter dialogen og afstemningen i dag, så vi kan komme til at opleve en realistisk politik, udført af Kommissionen, med hensyn til instituttets aktiviteter.
The Executive Commission has not accustomed us to ill-founded stands. In any case, the term 'European Foundation' cannot possibly signify an extension of the organized activities of the Commission.
Udvalget om sociale anliggender, som er korresponderende udvalg, har studeret sagen nøje og taget hensyn til udtalelsen fra budget udvalget, men også til de synspunkter, som hen ad vejen er udtrykt, også uofficielt, af de personer, som mener, at instituttet har store forpligtelser inden for miljøområdet.
If that were the case, what is the point of the European institutions in the various countries? What point is there in having them if they cannot function as independent mechanisms for sensitizing the major institutions of the Community to the signifi cant problems of the European peoples.
Varfis, medlem af Kommissionen. — (GR) Hr. for mand, jeg vil allerførst takke hr. Didó for den frem ragende betænkning, han har fremlagt vedrørende det europæiske institut i Dublin og Kommissionens for slag om ændring af forordningen for dette institut.
I should like to commend the rapporteur's logic, in that noting that things are improving he calls on the Commission to withdraw its proposal which, in his view, is no longer needed.
Jeg vil gerne gøre opmærksom på, at Kommissionen straks efter den kritik, som blev fremsat af Parlamentet og navnlig efter den beslutning, det vedtog i de cember 1983 om instituttets funktion, gennemgik dets statutter og foreslog nogle ændringer for at dæmpe Europa-Parlamentets bekymringer.
All of the speakers have been clear on this, and I can say that we are no longer in disagreement with either MrTuckman or Mrs Giannakou-Koutsikou.
Således fore lagde Kommissionen i januar 1986 Rådet et forslag til ændring af forordningen.
I should also like to thank Mr Didó who has been so lucid and to inform you that in line with your request the Commission has in fact decided to withdraw the proposal.
Det europæiske folkepartis gruppe går principielt imod Kommissionens forslag, men er enig i hr. Didós betænkning.
On the budget, the arbitrary and rigid 40,40 and 20 distribution is unacceptable.
Den konkrete baggrund for dette stand punkt er som følger: der finder en bevisligt positiv udvikling sted inden for instituttets aktiviteter, som giver anledning til optimisme med hensyn til dets fremtid.
We agree with the Committee on Budgets that the Foundation should be sub ject to the general financial provisions, that it should be subject to discharge by Parliament and that it should coordinate its work with the Centre in Berlin.
Der blev med rette udtrykt stærk kritik af instituttets ledelse i de første år, det fungerede.
We insist also that the sector of ecology and the environment should be part of its activities only when linked with living and working conditions, and not in the context of the more general environmental problem. lem.
Men i dag er situationen ændret, og det giver anledning til undren, at Kommissionen bogstaveligt talt har op fundet det foreslåede system med administrative ændringer og en kontrol, som vil skabe en træg, bureaukratisk mekanisme, der måske vil give anledning til flere problemer end de allerede eksisterende.
In finishing, Mr President, I urge the Commission, on behalf of the European People's Party, to withdraw its proposal and accept our views. By doing so it will bolster the already hopeful reality and give content to the dialogue of the social partners.
Som ordføreren nævner, kan instituttet karakteriseres som et privilegeret sæde for den sociale dialog på europæisk plan, og alle talerne har nævnt de problemer, der har været i forbindelse med instituttets funktion i løbet af de ..sidste ti år.
Allow me, Mr President, to say that the Commission attaches great importance to the work of the Foundation, covering as it does living and working con ditions, an area of very great interest and of particular importance at a time when there are great difficulties with employment, even though there are some who consider — wrongly — that living and working con ditions are of lesser importance.
Vi må imidlertid erkende, hvad alle talerne ligeledes fremhævede.at der er gjort bestræbelser for at forbedre administrationen af instituttet.
So research and dialogue in this area must be promoted, along with, as Mr McCartin and Mrs Van Dijk have emphasized, dissemination of the knowledge acquired.
Det europæiske folkeparti går imod den foreslåede løsning med en bestyrelse, hvis antal medlemmer vil overskride antallet af ansatte.
The Foundation must therefore continue with the work it has embarked on and develop it even more.
Især den nye direktion har gjort et stort arbejde i denne henseende.
PRESIDENT. — (GR) The debate is closed.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er for handling under ét om følgende betænkninger:
PRESIDENT. — (GR) The next item is the joint debate on the reports:
Det oprindelige direktiv, indeholder bestemmelser om, at et investeringsinstitut bortset fra und tagelser, kun må investere 5% af værdien af egne aktiver i værdipapirer, der er udstedt af samme emittent.
A 2-163/86, drawn up by Mr De Gucht on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citi zens' Rights, on original directive provides that barring exceptions a UCITS may not invest more than 5% of the value of its own assets in the securities of a same issuer.
Denne grænse kan eventuelt forhøjes til 33%, hvis det er værdipapirer, der er udstedt eller garanteret af en medlemsstat eller af internationale offentlig retlige institutioner, som en eller flere medlemsstater deltager i.
This limit may be raised to a maximum of 33% if the securities are issued or guaranteed by a Member State or by public international bodies of which one or more Member States are members.
Man skønnede, at disse kategorier, der havde til hensigt at beskytte investor mod følgerne af investeringsinstitutternes eventuelle konkurs, er for stramme, fordi de af staten udstedte eller garanterede værdipapirer ikke er de eneste, der yder investorerne fuld sikkerhed.
This was designed to limit the impact on the UCITS' assets of the possible bankruptcy of an issuer, because bonds issued or guaranteed by a State are not the only ones to offer investors full guarantees.
Dette er specielt tilfældet i Danmark med realkreditobligationerne og i Det forenede Kongerige med de parallelle investeringsinstitutter. Dette er grunden til, at der i det foreliggende udkast til direktiv stilles følgende forslag.
That applies in particular to Den mark with its mortgage credit bonds and to the United Kingdom with its parallel UCITS.
For det første, indførelse af princippet om ligestilling af nogle værdipapirer med værdipapirer, der garanteres af en medlemsstat, når de giver samme garantier som sidstnævnte værdipapirer.
First, the introduction of the principle of the equivalence of certain securities with securities guaranteed by a Member State if they offer the same guarantees as those securities.
Medlemsstaten udar bejder en liste over de værdipapirer, der ligestilles, og
The Member State in question must send the Commission and the Member States lists of the categories of bonds they plan to treat as equivalent. lent.

A 2-223/86, drawn up by Mr De Gucht on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citi zens' Rights, on the proposal from the Commission to the Council (COM(86) 315 final — Doc.
Derfor er henvisningen i præemblet til samordningen af alle bestemmelserne om disse organismer efter vores mening absolut nødvendig og meget positiv med henblik på at forhindre yderligere tilbageskridt, som det der omtales i beslutningsforslagets punkt 3.
The amendment contained in the report proposes the insertion in the preamble to the proposed directive of a reference to Article 57 of the Brussels Convention on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters.
Af ovennævnte årsager vil vi stemme for denne betænkning. ning.
There is no disagreement in substance, it is just a practical legal consideration.
For det andet, fastsættelse af de betingelser, som in vesteringsinstitutterne skal opfylde, når de har placeret aktiver i andele udstedt af andre investeringsinstitutter.
DURAN CORSANEGO (ED). — (ES) Mr President, the European Democratic Group intends to support the De Gucht Report (Doc. A 2-163/86), which con tains only a single amendment to the preamble to the Commission's text and which is on the subject of jurisdiction in disputes arising from the marketing of units of undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities, in view of the fact that its only purpose is to extend the preamble to incorporate also those Commission proposals approved by this Parliament on 8 February 1977, together with better application and development of the principle of the coordination of liberalization in matters concerned with the protection of savings and the granting of credit, mentioned in Article 57(2) of the Treaty establishing the EEC.
Retsudvalget afgiver da også en positiv udtalelse om Kommissionens forslag til direktiv om ændring af direktiv 85/611, med to nye stykker 4 og 5 i artikel 22, og om den nye artikel 26 a, men det lægger især vægt på, at det er vigtigt, at der gennem disse bestemmelser sikres investor en beskyttelse, der er lige så god som den, der sikres gennem bestemmel serne i ovennævnte direktiv.
Therefore the recital in the preamble of all the coordinating rules of the provisions concerning such under takings is, in our opinion, an essential and very positive measure for preventing the possibility of that retrograde step mentioned in paragraph 3 of the motion for a resolution. For all these reasons we support this report.
Vedrørende den anden betænkning af hr. De Gucht (dok.
Mr De Gucht's other report (Doc. No.
A2-223/86) skal det fremhæves, at den indeholder to punkter, der ændrer og udvider artikel 26a, som foreslået af Kommissionen i dens forslag til Rådet om oprettelse eller anerkendelse af de såkaldte parallelle investeringsinstitutter d.v.s., at et kollektivt investeringsorgan kan investere en del af sine aktiver i et lignende organ på vilkår, der specificeres i kom missionsforslaget.
A 2-223/86) contains two paragraphs amending and amplifying Article 26a, proposed by the Commission to the Coun cil, on the setting up or recognition of the so-called parallel UCITS in so far as a collective investment undertaking may invest some of its assets in a similar undertaking in accordance with the provisions set out in the Commission's proposal.
Derfor og for at undgå eventuel diskrimination i for hold til de traditionelle investeringsinstitutter foreslår udvalget om retlige anliggender og borgernes rettigheder nogle ændringer i den af Kommissionen foreslåede artikel 26 a. Allerede i Lord Ardwicks betænkning, og den blev jo ikke forelagt det direkte valgte Parlament, er der skabt mulighed for de traditionelle investeringsinstitutter for at placere 15 % i lignende institutter.
In the Commission we naturally think that the directive on investment undertakings is a very important stept towards the implementation of the internal mar ket. In the field of financial services this is the first directive to provide the possibility of exchange of ser vices across national frontiers solely on the basis of authorization granted in the home country, that is, a mutual recognition of the validity of authorizations provided nationally.
Dette forslag blev hverken vedtaget af Kom missionen eller af Rådet, der begge fastkholdt de sølle 5%.
That is, as we know, a part of the philosophy underlying the Commission's whole policy for the establishment of the internal market.
Denne betænkning kommer ind på to spørgsmål : det første vedrører parallelle investeringsorganers undtagelseskarakter, og det andet går ud på for disse investeringsinstitutters vedkommende ikke blot at tillade en mulig kædeinvestering i værdipapirer i op til ti sammenknyttede selskaber, men i og med at artikel 22 i Kommissionens forslag anses for anvendelig med hensyn til investering af 35% af formuen i værdipapirer, der enten er udstedt eller garanteret af en stat, forbedrer den mulighederne for kollektiv investering, uden at sætte de private andeles sikkerhed over styr.
This report poses two questions; the first highlights the exceptional nature of the parallel undertaking which it permits, and the second, which allows these investment undertakings not only to make linked investments in units of up to ten similar linked under takings, but also, if we regard as applicable Article 22 of the Commission's proposal with regard to the possible investment of a maximum of 35% of its assets in mortgage bonds issued or guaranteed by a sovereign State, increases the opportunities for collective invest ment without diminishing protection or the liquidity of the private holdings.
I nogle af medlemsstaternes lovgivninger ligger denne grænse i nogle tilfælde på 25%.
In the legislation of some Member States this limit is 25% in certain cases.
Eftersom alt dette uden tvivl vil føre til større velfærd for Fællesskabets borgere, støtter vi også fuldt ud denne betænkning.
Since all these factors will, we hope, undoubtedly con tribute to further and better development and the wellbeing of Community citizens, we fully support this report also.
Retsudvalget tillægger denne ændring særdeles stor værdi.
The Commission regards it as most important for us to move as quickly as possible in this field.
Jeg ville gerne se, at kommissæren overtog disse to ændringsforslag.
That is on the basis that the Commission has proposed to the Council that in two specific re spects amendments shall be made to the chapter on investment policy contained in the directive on invest ment undertakings.
I hvert fald vil jeg gerne høre, hvad han mener om det, idet der i retsudvalget blev stemt om det og det blev besluttet, at vi, hvis Kommissionen slet ikke ønsker at gå ind på det, måske endda vil anmode om anvendelse af artikel 36, stk. 2, i Europa-Parlamentets forretningsorden. orden.
First the Commission proposes that the upper limit applicable to investment undertakings' investments and bonds which are equivalent to securities issued or guaranteed by a State should be raised.
Christophersen, næstformand i Kommissionen. — Hr. formand, må jeg først takke hr. Wijsenbeek for hans fortrinlige fremlæggelse af de synspunkter, som han fremlægger på vegne af hr. Gucht. Jeg vil gerne give udtryk for min påskønnelse af den betænkning, som vi drøfter i dag.
That is naturally connected with the fact that in certain Member States there is a system of securities, for example in the Member State with which I am best acquainted, in which the value of such bonds is absolutely the same as that of securities issued or guaranteed by the State.
Hvis jeg må starte med det første forslag, har Kommissionen selvfølgelig med tilfreds hed noteret, at betænkningen vedrørende retternes kompetence med hensyn til tvister, der opstår i for bindelse med markedsføring af andele i investeringsinstitutter, fuldt ud støtter Kommissionens eget for slag.
Secondly the Commission advocates that a possibility should be provided within the frame work of the directive on investment undertakings to set up parallel investment undertakings or so-called 'managed funds'.
Det er vi selvfølgelig meget glade for.
I am glad to see that the committee's report supports this line of policy put forward in the Commission's proposed scheme.
Duran Corsanego (ED). — (ES) Hr. formand, den europæiske demokratiske gruppe er af den opfattelse, at hr. De Guchts betænkning (dok.
CHRISTOPHERSEN, Vice-President of the Commission. — (DA) Mr President, may I first thank Mr Wijsenbeek for his excellent presentation of the views he has put forward on behalf of Mr De Gucht.
Det ændringsforslag, der findes i betænkningen, går ud på, at der til retsgrundlaget for det foreslåede direktiv skal indføjes en henvisning til artikel 57 i Bruxelles-konventionen om retternes kompetence og om fuldbyrdelse af retsafgørelser i borgerlige sager, herunder handelssager.
If I may start with the first proposal, the Commission has of course noted with satisfaction that the report entirely supports the Commission's own proposal as regards the jurisdiction of the courts in disputes arising from the marketing of
Der er ingen uenighed i substansen, der er en rent juridisk praktisk afvejning.
But once again I should like to thank the committee for the hard work that has been done.
