Hvis de ikke er det, må der, som nogle talere allerede har været inde på, grives ind, men jeg skal gentage, at det påhviler den nationale myndighed.
Although my reply may cause disappointment on both sides, it is my duty as a Commissioner to express the Commission's opinion on this matter.
Vredeling-direktivet, alle har allerede sagt det, bør tages alvorligt.
The Financial Times stated that this was one of the highest percentages in the Community.
For det andet, nogle af Dem har påpeget det besvær, vi har med virksomhederne med kompliceret struk-
Might I just say, in answer to those questions as to whether my task here is to defend multinational com panies, that it certainly is not to attack them.
De veje, som vi er ved at udforske, hr. formand, som hører til fællesskabets sociale dimension i forbindelse med det indre marked, vil opleve en vigtig forandring af den europæiske selskabsret.
Marin sands of jobs, have responded by setting up European inter-union groups representing all the unions of the various Community Member States.
Arbejdsgiverne kan næppe på europæisk plan påtvinge den faglige sammenslutning en løsning, ligesom fagforeningerne næppe kan påtvinge deres.
Encouraged by the Commission, this has occured within the last year, and we are currently awaiting the results, so that we can see what can be done in the future.
De ved bedre end jeg, at Kommissionen ikke har nogen ekstraterritorial kompetence, og at den kun kan handle inden for EFs territorium.
As for the reliability of a company's future investment, or reductions in its productive capacity, we operate exclusively on the basis of the annual balance sheet.
Man kan vanskeligt bede os om at gribe ind over for en virksomheds formodede, hidtidige resultater eller over for en lovgivning, som ligger uden for EF — nemlig USA's — idet man så kunne beskylde os for indblanding i deres indre anliggender.
It is through the annual balance sheet, which must be submitted, that we can see what, in principle, any European company's forecasts are.
Jeg formoder, at EF ville svare på samme måde i til fælde af, at enhver anden myndighed end den i trak taterne angivne forsøgte at gribe ind i EFs anliggender.
As you will all be aware, in the event that what emerges from the com pany's annual balance sheet is in some way irregular, it is up to the national authorities — in other words, a judge in the Member State concerned — to impose the appropriate penal sanctions, through the Fourth and Seventh Directive.
Derfor tror jeg, at det er nyttigt at trække denne grænse med det samme.
At present, we have no means of action other than these two legal instruments.
Las os se på, hvad der kan gøres inden for EF med hensyn til virksomheder med kompliceret struktur.
In this particular case, the Commission has of course done its part, by ensuring that the Fourth and Seventh Directives are being observed.
Virkeligheden viser, at før gennemførelsen af det ind re marked har betydningsfulde grupper, som udgør mange titusinder af arbejdspladser, allerede taget initiativ til at skabe eller danne tværfaglige europæiske grupper med repræsentanter for alle fagforeningerne i de forskellige lande i fællesskabet.
Then there are also the Val Duchesse discussions. Since December, unions and employers have shown themselves capable of reaching agreement on a text very clearly defining employee information and con sultation rights on the one hand, and employers' rights to strategic secrecy, with regard to the integration of new technologies, on the other.
Det er et fænomen, som opstod sidste år, fremmet af Kommissionen, og som vi afventer resultaterne af for at se, hvad der kan gøres fremover.
Both union representatives and employers have been making progress in a tricky area, on a Community-wide level, and they should be left alone to make such progress for as long as the time we — the Commission, the unions and the employers — have allotted them. I am against interfering in any way.
Og jeg slutter med en kort betragtning af økonomisk -politisk-jruridisk karakter.
I am in a position to inform those Members who asked that Caterpillar sent a letter to all company employees stating its intentions on 12 March, through the competent manager.
De beder Kommissionen om at bestræbe sig på at gribe ind, men vi har vore egne institutionelle og juridiske begrænsninger — som jeg allerede har påpeget. Desuden kan Kommissionen ikke juridisk erklære en virksomhed for rentabel.
Simultaneously, in order — I imagine — to comply with British legislation, Caterpillar's European manager sent a lengthy questionnaire to the Secretary for Scotland, Mr Rifkind, providing details of the company's intentions.
Dette kan forekomme Dem at være »en banalitet «, men De vil forstå, at man ikke opnår noget ved juridisk at erklære, at en virksomhed obligatorisk er rentabel. Der er virksomheder, som er rentable, og der er andre, som ikke er det.
In the event that the unions — British unions in the case of the company sited in Glasgow — should raise any objections to the replies, it is up to them to check whether such replies, obligatory under the Fourth and Seventh Directives, are adequate in terms of British legislation.
Og hvis der er en virk somhed, der ikke er rentabel, så må man nødvendig vis tænke i andre termer.
If they are not, then, as another speaker has pointed out, action should be taken but, I must stress, it is up to the national authorities to take it.
Samtidig har vil drøftelserne i Val Duchesse, hvor fagforeninger og arbejdsgivere allerede siden december har været i stand til at blive enige om en tekst, som temmelig klart fastslår dels arbejdernes ret til information og høring og dels arbejdsgiverens ret til strategihemmelighed i forbindelse med indførelse af ny teknologi.
I should like to remind you that last year the unions, the employers, the Council of Ministers and the Com mission set a two-year period for reflection, since we had reached a real impasse. The stalemate arose because the Vredeling Directive, as it had been con ceived, met with a systematic veto from the Council of Ministers.
Fagforeningsfolk og arbejdsgivere bevæger sig fremad ad en vanskelig vej på EF-plan.
Over those two years, we were to make as much progress as possible in the social dialogue.
Vi skal lade dem arbejde — her er jeg uenig i nogle indlæg — inden for den tidsramme, som vi selv — Kommission, fagforeninger og arbejdsgivere — har fastlagt.
Important steps have been taken along that path, but they do not go far enough.
Idet jeg slutter med dette lille budskab, tror jeg, hr. formand, at jeg i det omfang, det er mig muligt, på indeværende tidspunkt, og selv om jeg god ved, at jeg ikke har kunnet gøre den ene og den anden part til freds, har forsøgt at forklare og kaste lys over et aspekt, som ofte tages op, fordi det ikke er løst end nu.
We still have this year left, during which, moreover, we must bring all the possibilities offered by Article 118 of the Single Act into play, enabling us to establish conventions at a European level.
Vi har endnu en vis tid, og jeg håber, ar vi kan udnytte dette år, 1987, til at se, hvor langt denne enoerme bestræbelse på at nå frem til enighed mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter, som er i gang, vil kunne nå.
My feeling is that we should be patient, and if those involved in the situation, employers and unions, are in agreement about continuing along this path, then we should let them get on with their work, leaving aside what I recognize to be painful aspects such as the closure of a company.
Dury (S). — (FR) Hr. formand, jeg har lige hørt kom missærens tale.
The paths which we are exploring, Mr President, in line with the social dimension of the Community with regard to the internal market, will be transformed into European company law.
Jeg vil tro, at Europa-Parlamentet med hensyn til Caterpillar kan gøre langt mere ved at bringe arbejdstagernes problem frem for den offentlige opinion.
It is through this law that the Commission feels a more or less standard focal point may be identified, which would resolve this problem, applying one of the three models currently recognized by convention or by law in all the Member States.
Men da den sociale dialog skrider frem, og der allerede er underskrevet aftaler af arbejdsmarkedets parter, fagforeninger og arbejdsgivere, kan Kommissionen så ikke bruge disse aftaler ved at om sætte dem til europæiske retsakter?
Of course, in view of the scope of such an operation, this must inevitably be brought about through cooperation and consensus. On a European level, employers would be hard set to impose a solution on the Confederation of Trades Unions, just as the unions would be equally hard set to impose theirs.
Det var det, vi forventede, da vi drøftede Den Fælles Akt, det indre marked og betænkningen om et socialt integreret Europa. ropa.
They will both have to give ground if they are to come up with a European model in a matter which is so difficult to resolve.
Hvis man virkelig bliver med at sige, at der ikke er noget at gøre, så begynder jeg faktisk at forstå det håbløse i at være kommissær.
Secondly, some of you have pointed to the difficulties we are experiencing with companies with complex structures.
Jeg vil minde Dem om, at sidste år gav vi fra fagforeningernes, arbejdsgivernes, Ministerrådets og Kom missionens side os selv en overvejelsesperiode på to år, da vi var kommet ind i en virkelig blindgyde, for di Vredelig-driektivet i den udformning, det havde fået, systematisk stødte på veto i Ministerrådet.
In this particular case, once again, even if the Vredeling Directive had been adopted, it would have been difficult for the Commission to take action regarding a company like Caterpillar, which is based in the United States, a non-European, non-Community company. You know better than I do that the Commission has no extraterritorial competence and that it can act only within the frontiers of the European Economic Community.
I dis se to år vil vi forsøge at så langt som overhovet muligt i dialogen mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter.
How can we be expected to take action over alleged prior events in a company or with regard to a jurisdiction lying outside the Com munity, that of the United States?
Der er taget væsentlige skridt, skønt endnu ikke til strækkelige, ad den vej.
We would only be accused of interfering in their internal affairs.
Vi har endnu dette år tilbage, hvor vi desuden skal sætte gang i alle de muligheder, som artikel 118 i Fællesakten giver os, og som endog gør det muligt for os at nå frem til konventionelle relationer på europæisk plan.
I imagine the European Economic Community would react in much the same way if some other authority, other than those provided for in the Constituent Treaties, tried to intervene within the Community.
Jeg tor, at vi bør være lidt tålmodige, og hvis aktørerne i denne situation, nemlig arbejdsgiverne og fagforeningerne, er enige om at følge denne vej, så lad os lade dem gøre deres arbejde med at fjerne smertefulde aspekter — jeg erkender, at de er det — som for eksempel lukningen af en virksomhed.
So, I think it is worth marking out this boundary now. We should concentrate on what can be done with the Community concerning multistructured companies.
Marin, næstformand i Kommissionen. — Hr. for mand, vi gjorde Kommissionens holdning meget klar
I should like to finish with a brief comment which is simultaneously of an economic, political and legal nature.
Marín en hvilken som helst anden regering.
have already said.
Men for en stor del af de sociale temaer, er afstemningssystemet iføl ge Fællesakten ikke længere enstemmighed, men kvalificeret flertal...
This may seem a somewhat obvious thing to say, but I am sure you will appreciate that we won't get anywhere by making legally-backed declarations that such-and-such a company is obliged to be profitable.
Falconer (S). - (EN) Ikke efter artikel 118!
He mentioned Article 118.
Efter artikel 118 har medlemsstaterne ret til at nedlægge veto.
Member States can veto measures under Article 118, unlike measures under the articles liberal izing capital.
Måske for kapitalflugt er det kvalificeret flertal, men ikke efter artikel 118.
What will the Commission propose to get round the problem that as a result of the Single European Act the British Government can actually veto any improvement for workers' rights and benefits created under Article 118?
Marin, næstformand i Kommissionen. — Hr. Falconer, jeg havde givet Dem et meget venskabeligt bud skab.
By finishing with this little homily, Mr President, I believe that I have tried, as far as I am able at this moment, to explain and clarify a problem which is often raised for the simple reason that it has not yet been resolved — although I am quite aware that I have not been able to satisfy either camp.
Jeg håber ikke, at De udelukkende reducerer den sociale dimension til denne artikel, for så er De og jeg fortabte.
We do still have some time left and it is my hope that we can use the rest of 1987 to see just how far we can go with the huge social cooperation initiative that is under way.
Vi må forsøge at få Ministerrådet med til den bredeste fortolkning.
My question is as follows: this may be true in an economic sense, but from a legal point of view, if the subsidiary possesses legal personality, then it is subject to the regulations of the country in question and, generally, to Community regulations.
Det er logisk, at man fra anden side i salen indtager denne holdning, men De kan ikke gøre det, De må følge mig på andre færder. der.
Therefore, I believe that this argument, which may be valid on an economic and political level, is invalid on a strictly legal basis.
på det sidste møde på højeste plan under forsæde, som fru Dury tydeligt vil erindre, af hr. Delors på Kommissionens vegne og den daværende formand for Ministerrådet, hr. Martens, på Rådets vegne.
DURY (S). — (FR) Mr President, I have been listen ing to what the Commissioner had to say.
Her gjorde vi det meget klart, at så længe dialogen mellem arbejdsmarkedets parter pågår, vil Kommissionen af holde sig fra lovgivningsmæssige skridt.
On Caterpillar, my considered view is that the European Parliament can do much more by bringing the workers' concerns to the attention of public opinion.
Vore lovgivningsmæssige forantstaltninger vil få deres fulde me ning, når vi har aftalen mellem arbejdsgiverne og arbejderne.
That is what we were expecting when we debated the Single Act, when we debated the internal market and when we debated the report on the European social area.
Vi mener ikke, at det at kaste os ud i et tomrum og foregribe begivenhederne og forelægge Ministerrådet disse forordninger, direktiver og henstillinger vil være det mest formålstjenlige.
MARÍN Vice-President of the Commission. — (ES) Regarding the first question, Mr Falconer, I do not wish to get involved in an institutional discussion because we have yet to see how the European Parliament interprets what we are referring to as the 'institutional Vademecum' presented by the Commission.
Hvis vi først havde denne aftale på europæisk plan, kunne Kommissionen forelægge den for de pågældende ministre.
This question has not yet been settled, but I personally am convinced that you will help us in effecting the widest possible interpretation.
Han nævnte artikel 118.
FALCONER (S). — But not under Article 118 !
Medlemsstater kan nedlægge veto mod foranstalt ninger under artikel 118 i modsætning til foranstalt ninger under de artikeler, der liberaliserer kapitalen.
Under Article 118 Member States have the right to apply a veto.
Hvad vil kommissæren foreslå for at komme uden om det problem, at den britiske regering faktisk kan nedlægge veto mod enhver forbedring af arbejdernes rettigheder og fordele skabt under artikel 118 som følge af Den Europæiske Fælles Akt?
Perhaps for flight of capital, yes, a qualified majority, but not under Article 118.
Hvad angår det, hr. Calvo Ortega sagde, er den for klaring, han giver, korrekt, men økonomiens brutalitet gør sig gældende.
MARÍN Vice-President of the Commission. — (ES) Mr President, the Commission's position was made very clear during the last meeting at the very highest level which, as Mrs Dury will recall, was chaired, on behalf of the Commission, by its President, Mr Delors, and on behalf of the Council of Ministers by its President, at that time Mr Martens.
Hvad glæde har vi af årsregnskabet i tilfældet Caterpillar?
We made it quite clear on that occasion that for as long as the social dialogue lasted, the Commission would abstain from taking any legislative measure whatsoever.
Hvis De ser brevet, vil De læse »Udmærket, De kan beholde murstenene, men vi rejser«.
Our legislative mea sures will serve their full purpose once we have an agreement between employers and workers.
Og de rejser faktisk.
That will be our strength.
Kommissionen kunne i overensstemmelse med hr. Hansen føre diskussionen tilbage til det område, der interesserede den, fordi vi over for de europæiske virksomheder kan være mere effektive.
We do not believe that taking a leap into the dark by anticipating events, presenting the Council of Ministers with all these regulations, directives and recommendations, is the best way of setting about things.
Chanterie (PPE). — (NL) Hr. formand, man havde i Michelin-sagen kunnet handle i overensstemmelse med det europæiske direktiv fra 1975 vedrørende kollektive afskedigelser.
If we already had this agreement on a European level, then the Commission could submit it to the appropriate Ministries.
Dette direktiv gælder ligeledes, for så vidt angår Carterpillar i Glasgow, for så vidt som det er tilstrækkeligt omsat til engelsk lovgivning.
The Council could not easily follow an obstructionist policy at this point, since it would not only be a Commissioner's opinion at
Formanden. — Hr. Chanterie, Deres bemærkninger er taget til efterretning.
MARÍN. — Mr Falconer, let us not fall out over this point.
Det er et ikke afklaret emne, men jeg er overbevist om, at De vil hjælpe os med at bibringe en bredere fortolkning.
If we are going to narrow down the whole spectrum of social matters to make it fit into this one article, we will get nowhere.
Under alle omstændigheder kan De regne med, at den britiske regering kan udøve sine rettigheder som
