I mellemtiden er denne understregning blevet endnu stærkere.
But I wonder whether particular priority should be given to that in view of recent events.
Dette synes i dag stadig en illusion, men vi har i vidt omfang mulighed for at fremme denne økonomiske udvikling og dermed også igen give vore egne eksporterhverv nye fremtidsperspektiver.
I cannot in the short time available to me go into all the suggestions which have been made, but I can assure you that in our prep arations for these discussions we shall take into full account the many relevant points made in the Hindley report and by the many Members in the House today.
Vi må derfor gøre alt for at forhindre, at en sådan udvikling adskiller EF fra dets handelspartnere.
Andriessen remain alert, but I do not consider taking specific act ion at the moment as a top priority.
Også en kort bemærkning til hr. Hindleys betænkning om Kina. En kompliment, hr. Hindley, det er en god betænkning.
Thirdly, the paragraph requesting more information.
Dog svarer EF's samhandel med Kina ikke til dette lands størrelse og betydning.
The Commission is fully prepared to supply all rel evant information to Parliament.
Det er mindre end samhandlen med Jugoslavien. Det betyder, at Kina er land, der stadig skal udvikles økonomisk.
But I must point out that there are more than 100 working parties in the OECD.
Jeg tror, at vanskeligheden er for holdsvis stor. At binde Joint ventures til High-tech eller en eksportgaranti på 100% fører ikke til det ønskede resultat.
I am not convinced we would be rendering Parliament a great service by providing detailed information on over 100 working parties.
Jeg mener, at vi må tage hensyn til behovene i erhvervslivet, som kun i det tilfælde opretter Joint ventures.
I think that is better done in a more comprehensive form and if that is agreeable to you I am more than happy to provide the information.
Lemmer (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg vil gerne som led i denne forhandling knytte et par bemærkninger til Pimentabetænkningen om de økonomiske forbindelser med Tyrkiet og her endnu en gang sætte fokus på associeringsaftalen.
And it is good that we should start by looking at the present work within the mandate the rapporteur was given, namely, the drawing up of a report on the current state of the Agreement of Association, signed on 1 December 1964, as well as on the state of economic and commercial relations between the Twelve and Turkey.
Vi bestræber os på — eller sagt bedre : Vi bør i højere grad bestræbe os på — igen at fylde denne associeringsaftale med liv.
It is not, then, a question of a new political analysis of the internal situation in Turkey or of the basic political issues involved in relations between the EEC and Turkey, as the European Parliament pro nounced on these matters when it adopted the Walter report.
Associeringsrådet holdt møde en eneste gang i 1986, derefter desværre ikke mere.
Having defined the field of operations, I would like to discuss a few points that arise.
Det Blandede Parlamentariske Udvalg genoptog igen sit arbejde i januar og vil forhåbentlig fortsætte det kontinuerligt. Der er er masse problemer, som må løses i Det Europæiske Fællesskabs forhold til Tyrkiet, ikke blot på det økonomiske område.
The first is covered in the opening paragraph of the report reaffirming the political will of this Assembly that the EEC and Turkey should take the necessary measures for the proper fulfilment of reciprocal obligations arising from the Agreement of Association.
Kun nogle få eksempler : Af hensyn til den vanskelige økonomiske situation i slutningen af 1970erne gjorde Tyrkiet brug af beskyttelsesbestemmelser.
This is the position that I propose to the Assembly, but I nevertheless call attention to certain difficulties that exist on either side.
Nedsættelsen af toldafgifterne på industriprodukter påbegyndte man imidlertid først igen i 1988. Samtidig blev toldsatserne i handlen med tredjelande sænket til under de toldsatser, der er aftalt med Fællesskabet. Dette kan virkelig ikke accepteres, da der herved er fare for, at handelsstrømmene omdirigeres.
On the Turkish side I would highlight the points referred to in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the present report.
De multinationale selskaber har ofte fuldt ud fortjent kritikken, når ledelsen i moderselskabet i et andet land har truffet ufølsomme fælles beslut ninger.
We also welcome the position adopted on the free movement of capital, especially in the form of direct investments, which, as I have just said, can make an important contribution to economic growth and development.
Men fortjener de virkelig al den hårde kritik, de bliver udsat for? Hvis et multinationalt selskab gradvis afvikler en ineffektiv eller omkostningskrævende fabrik i f.eks.
We view this resolution as an important support of our international position.
Tyskland eller Belgien for at bygge en ny fabrik i Portugal eller Spanien, hvor lønomkostningerne er lave, skal de så kritiseres for det, der kaldes »social dumping« eller roses for at skabe nye arbejdspladser og økonomiske forbedringer i Europas fattigere regioner i randområderne?
We may think here of international events, we may think of the internal market, we may also think of developments in the developing countries.
Hvis de multinationale selskaber nu finder disse steder økonomisk tiltrækkende, er det så ikke nøjagtig det, vi sætter os for at gøre?
We support the contribution being made within the OECD for multinationals, as we do for the search for a code of conduct within the United Nations.
Den socialistiske lejr har måske lyst til at klarlægge sin position, som synes at være blandet med mere end blot hykleri, for at sige det mildt.
We believe that a certain code of conduct could deal with a number of objections levelled here and there.
Og hvad er »social dumping« i det hele taget? Jeg ved det egentlig ikke.
But I must leave open the question as to whether it is opportune for us in Europe to try to find a specific form.
Med hensyn til de kvantitative restriktioner er tids planen for afskaffelsen forbigående sat ud af kraft.
Mr President, I feel that I must leave it at that in view of the time available to me.
På den anden side har vi fra Fællesskabets side igen indført kvantitative restriktioner siden 1982.
I hope I have proved that the Commission is reacting favourably to what Parliament is saying and that it will use it to advantage in its future work.
Det var ikke muligt at indgå en aftale om frivillig begrænsning med den tyrkiske regering som led i multifiberarrangementet.
The EEC also has some cause for complaint against the practices intended to support Turkish exports to the Community; this is the case with tax exemptions for exports or preferential freight charges.
Dog en kompliment til de tyrkiske producentsammenslutninger, som var villige til at indgå aftaler om begrænsning af disses eksport af visse tekstiler.
Although the continuation of these practices is unacceptable, we must be realistic both as regards the level and the timetable of the demands that are made on Turkey, which should not lose sight of the Turkish economy's capacity to adapt.
Jeg er fuldstændig enig i, at i en global verden, hvor virksomhedsplaner former byers, regioners og landes skæbne, har regeringerne al ret til at være inddraget.
These points are brought out in the report, notably in paragraphs 5, 8 and 20, in which issues relating to Com munity restrictions on imports of Turkish textiles are raised, as well as those relating to the problem of free movement of workers and the Fourth Financial Protocol which has still to be concluded.
Også en kort bemærkning til arbejdstagernes fri bevægelighed. Her har tingene udviklet sig helt anderledes, end man kunne forudse i 1963, og der er brug for nye forhandlinger.
PIMENTA (LDR), rapporteur. — (PT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the report on the economic and commercial relations between the EEC and Turkey was approved at a meeting of the REX on 21 December, with 18 votes in favour, 0 against and 2 abstentions.
Af alle disse grunde forekommer det mig at være påtrængende nødvendigt, at associeringsorganerne genoptager deres arbejde fuldt ud.
We would like to highlight this fact as the present text corresponds to an effort of consensus and cooperation between the various groups and political movements represented in this Parliament, an effort which I think may be saluted especially in matters like external economic relations, in which the European Parliament has, legally, a word to say on the conduct of Community affairs.
Dette arbejde kom senere til at udgøre en del af Caborn-betænkningen, som var til afstemning i Par lamentet den 13. oktober 1981.
industrial property and imitations, which sometimes assume extraordinary proportions, or, as regards workers, problems relating to social integration of large numbers of migrants into communities which already suffer from unemployment.
Desværre henviser hr. Blumenfeld ikke til disse gennemarbejdede forsøg fra Parlamentets side på at behandle det vanskelige spørgsmål om de multinationale selskaber; han vælger derimod at ignorere dem.
However, the out standing problems must be negotiated directly with Turkey and should not constitute a reason for eternally postponing their solution.
omdannede deres britiske datterselskaber fra at være topeksportører til at være topimportører og skabte et massivt handelsunderskud på 5 mia pund.
As regards commercial questions, there are positive aspects and negative aspects.
Globale planer som disse er måske i selskabets og i det amerikanske moderselskabs interesse, men er de nødvendigvis i det europæiske vækstlands interesse, hvor datterselskaberne ligger?
Amongst the first, it should be said that on 1 January this year the Turkish Government introduced another cut of 10% in import duties for industrial and manufactured products from the Community, both on the general list and on the list of exceptions.
Jeg er åben over for at lade mig overbevise, men det kræver en hel del. Selskabernes planlæggere af i dag bør have en meget mere sensitiv forståelse af den politiske og sociale dimension for at undgå en vidtgående politisk ind griben.
Moreover, the Turkish Government has declared that it proposes to continue the reduction of customs duties in the future, without further recourse to the safeguard clause which was repeatedly invoked for 11 successive years from 1977 onwards.
Vi mener imidlertid virkelig, at den frihed, vi giver dem til at virke i Det Europæiske Fællesskab, også medfører et ansvar til at virke i vore europæiske interesser.
I also want to point out that the report very clearly mentions the issues relating to unfair competition which some Community producers claim to suffer from by way of imports of Turkish industrial or agricultural products at prices which these Community producers regard as dumping.
Både Lange-rapporten og Cabornbetænkningen så klart nødvendigheden af en effektiv og reel kontrol af de multinationale selskabers aktiviteter på internationalt plan.
However, I must inform Parliament that the results obtained up to now from the Turkish authorities on other fronts are — this is quite clear — much less satisfactory.
Disse store organisationer, hvoraf flertallet har hovedsæde i De Forenede Stater, har draget fordel af de voksende muligheder for adgang til verdensmarkedet, og disse er blevet fremmet af GATT- systemet.
Specifically they exact special funds, which in fact represent an enormous additional trade barrier to Community exports and the Commission is continuing to make representations on this to the Turkish authorities.
Miranda da Silva (COM). — (PT) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne understrege nogle specielle aspekter, som man efter min mening må tage hensyn til i de økonomiske og handelsmæssige forbindelser mellem Fællesskaberne og Tyrkiet.
As regards Turkish workers already present in the Community today, I also want to point out that the report supports the application of the new rights which the European Parliament debated just yesterday in the Gomes report and gave majority support to today.
Jeg går ud fra den antagelse, at tiden ikke er inde til at overveje landets ansøgning om tiltrædelse af EF. Jeg mener, denne antagelse er almindelig, selv om visse isolerede røster — uovervejet og uansvarligt — har talt til fordel herfor.
The present report also brings out the fact that in relation to future economic and commercial relations between the Community and the Turks there are certain aspects not covered by the Agreement of Association which ought to be taken into account, notably, cooperation, mutual information in the context of the con struction of the internal market. ..
Faren er dog, at disse selskaber på grund af deres transnationale karakter kan handle uden om de nationale lovgivninger, der regulerer andre selskabers aktiviteter.
PRESIDENT. — I am sorry, Mr Pimenta, I must stop you there, you have exceeded your speaking time.
Dette åbner i sig selv store muligheder for misbrug.
I call on Commissioner Matutes to reply.
Jeg vil omtale tre aspekter, som jeg mener er helt centrale: På den ene side den politiske situation i landet, der stadig er præget af mangel på de fundamentale friheder, og som stadig opretholder fængslinger og dødsdomme af politiske og faglige ledere.
Thus, the possible abolition of all restrictions on textile imports from Turkey can be considered, not only in the context of a return to the GATT norms in the textile sector, but also as a fulfilment of all the norms of the customs union between the Community and Turkey.
Må jeg her apropos minde om fængslingen af de kommunistiske ledere.
These are binding on the Community, but they are also binding on Turkey, as Mr Pimenta so rightly points out.
På den anden side den uovervejede åbning af markedet for tyrkiske produkter, hvilket særlig vil mærkes i visse medlemslande, nemlig de mindre udviklede og dem, der i forvejen står over for forberedelserne til gennemførelsen af det indre marked.
MATUTES, Member of the Commission. — Mr President, this Parliament's traditional analytic rigour and passion for exhaustivity have led honourable Members not only to review the majority of the Community's external relations problems, but also to examine in this debate most of the economic geography of the world: from the Far East — ever closer, of course — to Latin America, via the countries that form the basin of that mare nostrum, the Mediterranean.
Som en følge af deres særlige virksomhed inden for den internationale forretningsverden udmønter dette misbrug sig i en restriktiv praksis, konkurrenceforvridning og en fordeling af markedet mellem filialer eller datterselskaber, etc. De ansatte kan komme ud for, at produktionen flyttes fra et land med en fuldtudviklet lovgivning om faglige og arbejdsmæssige forhold til et land med en svagere lovgivning eller til de såkaldte export processing zones med henblik på at undgå den internationale lovgivning om arbejdsforhold.
As regards the report on Mexico, the Commission is delighted with the parliamentary initiative and congratulates Mr Pons Grau on the excellent work he has carried out. I particularly want to emphasize Mexico's determination and political will in pursuing a serious economic policy, opening up trade and applying a strict macroeconomic policy, the more visible fruits of which in the short term have been: an improvement in inflation, a take-off in exports and an increase in investment, particularly foreign investment, as a con sequence of the liberalization of the economy, demonstrated by entry into the GATT in 1986.
I miljøspørgsmål kunne misbruget finde sted ved en omgåelse af internationalt accepterede normer for beskyttelse og bevarelse af miljøet.
We recognize that this commitment and this political will give Mexico credibility with the international institutions and financial milieux in finding imaginative and sincere solutions to the problem of the debt, and Europe should become increasingly active here.
Endelig den illoyale konkurrence og endda den i henhold til internationale regler ulovlige handel, som Tyrkiet praktiserer navnlig i tekstilbranchen og på det seneste også i tændstikindustrien; en sådan tak tik rammer medlemslande som mit land, Portugal.
If anything has been made clear in this debate it is that every one of the reports discussed today have sufficient content for a very lengthy single debate; but that is incompatible with the time available within the tight agenda of this Parliament.
Vi mener ikke, vi kan se bort fra disse aspekter i vor stillingtagen til de fremtidige forbindelser med Tyrkiet. kiet.
So before expressing the position of the Commission, necessarily briefly, I want you to know that if you think it appropriate I am ready to carry on the debate in committee with the range and tranquillity consonant with the importance of these reports.
Grimaldos Grimaldos (S). — (ES) Hr. formand, Blumenfeldbetænkningen er det seneste forsøg fra Europa-Parlamentets side på at behandle spørgsmå
His excellent report clearly identifies the principal prob lems of relations between the Community and Turkey.
Begge betænkninger, både Caborns og Blumenfelds, peger på, at OECD's kodeks fra 1976 og ILO's principerklæring udgør væsentlige fremskridt; disse

Baggrunden for betænkningen er naturligvis et for slag til beslutning, som i sin tid blev fremsat af min kollega, hr. Seeler.
tion and commercial promotion. The latest guidelines from the Council place special emphasis on industrial cooperation.
Jeg vil begrænse mit indlæg om denne betænkning til at omfatte de ændringsforslag, som førnævnte hr. Seeler og undertegnede har stillet til betænkningen.
In this respect the industrial fabric of Mexico, as a new industrialized country, presents great opportunities for the creation of new joint ventures. tures.
Parlamentets beslutning på grundlag af Cabornbetænkningen i oktober 1981 støttede ligeledes det klare mål om en fastlæggelse af et adfærdskodeks fra FN's side for transnationale selskaber.
I end my speech by recalling that it was rightly said in this Chamber yesterday that Europe must not confine itself to tending its own garden, and in fact the opinion of this Commission is that vigorous action out side the Community is increasingly necessary; for that the support of this Parliament is more necessary than
Hr. Blumenfeld synes at være imod et sådant kodeks.
The vote will be taken tomorrow at 6.30 p.m.1
Endvidere har Den Socialistiske Gruppe gennem mange år kæmpet for en styrkelse af OECD's adfærdskodeks.
As regards trade with the Community, there was a certain increase in Community imports from Mexico in 1987 over 1986, and there is no doubt that the greatest benefit from the system of generalized preferences and an intensification of Community activity in the area of trade promotion was to encourage this increase and greater diversification in Mexican exports.
Så længe dette kodeks forbliver uforpligtende, kan det ikke være effektivt.
I share Mr Pons' view in relation to the image some tried to create of a 'fortress Europe' and I refer you to the statements made by President Delors this very morning before this Assembly.
Inden for Fællesskabet skal de multinationale selskabers aktiviteter knyttes til gennemførelsen af en slutaftale om selskaberne i det nuværende Europa, sådan som de berørte sektorer gennem længere tid har anmodet om.
Finally, I want to emphasize the importance of the imminent opening of the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities in Mexico, which will doubtless fill an existing gap.
Hr. Seeler foreslår i sine ændringsforslag et større samarbejde mellem Europarådets Parlamentariske Forsamling og OECD.
As regards Mediterranean policy, raised in an oral question, the Commission naturally continues to adhere to the principles set in 1973 and the conclusions in the Council's communication of June 1982.
En sådan styrkelse af forbindelserne ville gøre det muligt at debattere og finde løsninger på spørgsmål af afgørende betydning for borgerne og ligeledes at fremme dialogen og for ståelsen mellem medlemsstaternes regeringer.
The Community must continue its efforts in this con text so that the content of the agreements with the Mediterranean countries can be increasingly adapted to the objective of Euro-Mediterranean cooperation.
Vi er enige med hr. Blumenfeld, når han støtter nævnte lovgivning, sådan som vi ligeledes deler hans tro på nødvendigheden af at værne om og styrke den sociale dimension med henblik på gennemførelsen af enhedsmarkedet.
Report (Doc. A 2-375/88) by Mr Herman drawn up on behalf of the Committee on the Rules of Procedure, the Verification of Credentials and Immunities, on the amendment of Rule 51 of the Rules of Procedure, on the admissibility of amendments to the common position of the Council
Endelig mener vi, at det med henblik på at undgå overlapninger mellem Europarådets Parlamentariske Forsamling og Europa-Parlamentet er bydende nødvendigt, at en delegation fra Europa-Parlamentet deltager i den nævnte forsamlings debatter om OECD's aktiviteter.
PROUT (ED). — Mr President, there are very few of us here and I am not sure that there are enough Members here to get the required majority for the vote on the Herman report, but I shall make my remarks in any case.
I denne sammenhæng anbefaler vi, at der indledes forhandlinger mellem de tre institutioner med henblik på at finde en hensigtsmæssig løsning med hensyn til de mål, som vi lige har omtalt.
It is clear, and we must all be delighted about this, that very positive developments are occurring in this area, especially in respect of the Arab Maghreb Union, the Council for Arab Cooperation and the hopes for peace, although still fragile, appearing in the Middle East.
Så længe dette ikke er en realitet, bør Parlamentet — efter vor mening — være repræsenteret som observatør under den årlige debat om OECD's aktiviteter i Europarådets Parlamentariske Forsamling.
However, at the moment the conclusion of a global Euro-Mediterranean convention certainly con tinues to look like a much longer-term objective.
Med hensyn til investeringerne i udlandet kan vi ikke acceptere ordførerens antagelse om, at der ikke eksisterer en sammenhæng mellem en styrkelse af Fællesskabets investeringer i udlandet og en nedgang i antallet af arbejdspladser.
Mr President, as you know, Parliament takes special care when it embarks upon a change in its rules and trys to get general agreement in the House.
Skabelse af nye arbejdspladser i Fællesskabet og beskyttelse af de allerede eksisterende ved hjælp af en modernisering af industrien er ikke mulig uden de nødvendige investeringer. Alt i alt finder Den Socialistiske gruppe, at Blumenfeldbetænkningen er ufuldstændig og på visse punkter fejlagtig.
As it is drafted, it threatens to reduce the right of Parliament, given to it by the Court of Justice, to insist on a Rule 42 reconsultation in circumstances where the Council substantially, as opposed to insignificantly, alters a Commission proposal after Parliament has expressed its opinion.
Tridente (ARC). — (IT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, det er ikke min hensigt at afmale de multinationale selskaber som rene djævle, selv om der kunne være mange grunde hertil, ej heller at gøre dem ansvarlige for de jordskælv, som måtte finde sted i verden, men sandelig nok for statskuppene.
Now it is clear from Mr Herman's explanatory statement, but not from the text of his motion for a resolution, that he recognizes the distinction between substantial and non-substantial alterations.
Og det er derfor om disse, at jeg vil udtale mig i korthed, om deres rolle i udenrigshandelen, i Fællesskabets udenrigshandel.
The Commission will continue to support every cooperative action between the Community and its Mediterranean allies.
