Vi betragter kun dette som det første stadium, men Kommissionen har i det mindste taget initiativet, og vi opfordrer nu medlemsstaterne til i samme ånd at tage fuld del i arbejdet og stille de nødvendige midler til rådighed.
GREEN (S). — I should like to put a supplementary question to the Minister today on behalf of the 120 000 Cypriot people who live in my constituency in North London. This is the largest Cypriot community outside of Cyprus.
Personlig vil jeg endelig gerne sige, at skønt jeg som sagt er glad for Fællesskabets aktiviteter på det regionalpolitiske område, så mangler der yderligere en vigtig hjælp for de kulminedistrikter, der har overlevet, nemlig en ændring af energipolitikken.
CRESSON, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Mr President, although the EEC/Turkey Association Council has no direct authority in political affairs, political questions may be raised there.
Jeg vil gerne takke ordføreren, hr. Martin, for kvaliteten af hans betænkning og for hans forelæggelse af den.
In the last few weeks we have all shared in the joy as the Iron Curtain has disintegrated across Eastern Europe.
Jeg takker ligeledes kommissæren med ansvar for regionalpolitikken for at have taget initiativ til at forelægge et program, der bidrager til minedistrikternes økonomiske genopbygning.
We were all moved by the scenes in Berlin as the Berlin crumbled. But as we celebrate such events, it is important that we remember the people of Cyprus who have suffered from the enforced division of their island by the Turkish army and the occupation.
Jeg understreger sætningen »der bidrager til minedistrikternes økonomiske genopbygning« og ikke til at øge deres problemer, sådan som visse økonomiske fore tagender har gjort, nogle fordi de er interesserede i at udbrede andre energikilder, såsom kerneenergi, andre i at øge importen af kul fra tredjelande.
The people of Cyprus cannot move about their island in freedom. Two hundred thousand Cypriot people, one third of the island's population, live as refugees in their own land,
García Arias at man dog kan påstå, at der er tale om samme budgetbevillinger til alle.
GREEN refused access to their homes by the Turkish troops.
Hr. Martins betænkning rejser en række spørgsmål til overvejelse.
One thousand six hundred and nineteen Greek women and men are still officially missing since the Turkish invasion.
Hver gang forskellige instanser intervenerer økono misk på samme område, dukker dette problem op, hvilket kan være til skade for den mest specifikke kilde.
Instead, they have struggled diplomatically to achieve the removal of the Turkish army from their island and the reunification of the island.
For at undgå uønskede virkninger er det nødvendigt med eksakt kendskab til andre former for støtte og investeringer på tidspunktet for iværksættelsen af vort program samt om opfølgningen af disse.
The European Community actually has the opportunity now to exert maximum pressure on the Turkish Government because of its application for full membership of the Community.
Jeg skal dog tillade mig at erindre om Energiudvalgets udtalelse, hvori det anføres, at dette RECHAR-program bør ses i sammenhæng med Fællesskabets energipolitik og opfyldelsen af dennes mål, der omfatter en øget andel for fast brændsel i enrgiforbruget og sikring af Fælles skabets energiforsyning.
The civil servants who are operating as customs officers have been performing a very important and beneficial national duty across the Twelve; duties which in turn prove to be rather unpopular with very many of the public.
RECHAR-programmet bør derfor have præventiv karakter og tage sigte på at fremme den økonomiske genopbygning og diversificering i minedriftsområderne uden chokeffekter og sociale spændinger.
Surely those officers are entitled to expect better treatment from their national governments and employers than to be told that no consideration has been given to compensating them for their loss of income or to making arrangements for redeployment or to increasing reemployment grants in any sort of way.
Det er nødvendigt at øge bud getmidlerne til RECHAR-programmet samt sikre komplementaritetsprincippet og en effektiv koncentration af midlerne på de mest lokale niveauer i minedriftsområderne.
I think that it is horrible that, while we are talking about integration, about breaking down barriers, the Council's spokesperson says that no consideration has been given to this matter, for that is the only conclusion we can come to in the light of the President's reply.
Kommissionen har i forbindelse med dette program opretholdt en tæt kontakt med lokale og regionale repræsentanter og med medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet.
CRESSON. — (FR) The Council Presidency is aware of the situation in Cyprus and supports the efforts of the Secretary General of the United Nations to put an end to it.
I betragtning af at det ikke er muligt at erstatte kulminedriften med en enkelt dominerende økonomisk aktivitet, er det nødvendigt at sprede erhvervsaktiviteterne.
The Commission has not submitted any proposal on this subject nor is it expected to do so, since customs officers are officials of the national States and it is the national States that should take the necessary social measures, as has happened in France.
RECHAR-programmet har således også betydet en smuk solidarisk indsats for at fremme gensidigt kendskab og udveksle lokale erfaringer og løse infrastruktur- og miljøproblemer, sociale, uddannelsesmæssige problemer osv. Minedistrikterne lærer hinanden at kende og er også parate til sammen at forsvare stabiliteten og deres 2 1/2 mio. indbyggeres sociale udvikling.
However, since we are in a phase of celebration because a certain wall has been knocked down, it is strange that the Council will not make up its mind to take energetic action to topple the wall which divides the population of Cyprus between Turkish and Greek Cypriots, because Turkey, a country associated with the Community, has intervened by having the gall — no less — to apply for accession to the Community.
Til sidst en kort overvejelse om forvaltningen af programmet.
CRESSON. — (FR) The honourable Member is quite right.
Vi håber, hr. formand, at de bekymringer og for ventninger, som repræsentanterne for minedriftsområderne har givet udtryk for, bliver taget i betragtning, og at dette program betyder et første skridt på vejen til økonomisk genopbygning af disse områder. der.
FITZGERALD (RDE). — I should like to ask the President-in-Office of the Council if she believes that it would be right and just for her or her representatives to meet the trade unions or staff associations representing those same customs officiers ?
Hr. formand, jeg slutter med de samme ord, som jeg indledte mit indlæg med : RECHAR-programmet er en retfærdig handling over for personer og områder, der fortjener den.
To what extent has the Council considered options such as compensation for loss of income, redeployment or increased reemployment grants along the lines of the Resider programme ?
Christopher Jackson (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, på min gruppes vegne vil jeg gerne sige, at jeg er meget glad for RECHAR-programmet, og at jeg komplimenterer hr. Martin for hans betænkning.
CRESSON. — (FR) No, once again I must answer that it is not up to the Presidency of the Council to do this job.
Problemet med arbejdsløshedsøer i områder, der i øvrigt er velstående, er meget reelt.
CRESSON, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) The Council has not received any proposal from the Commission of the type referred to by the honourable Member in his question.
Jeg vil gerne give et eksempel fra min egen valgkreds i Kent East, hvor
Subject : The Amazon — a new direction
Man fortæller os desuden, at 80% af EFRU-midlerne generelt skal gå til de fattige lande, og at der således kun bliver 20% af de ikke-fordelte 15% tilbage, dvs. 3% af EFRU-midlerne. Dette forekom mer mig at være et meget lille beløb i forhold til mineområdernes problemer.
Does the Council realize that the destruction of the Amazon rain forest may in fact mean: resources.
Formanden. — Jeg byder velkommen til en delegation fra Sammenslutningen af Håndværkere og Han delskammeret i Bergamo, som nu har taget plads i tilhørerlogen.
1. the destruction of plants which could hold a cure for diseases such as cancer, AIDS, malaria ;
kulminedistrikterne længe har haft en arbejdsløshedsprocent, der ligger langt over gennemsnittet.
2. that the genes of its wild plants could reinvigorate crops that feed billions of people ;
I ét område, hvor man må rejse ud for at finde arbejde, Thanet, lå arbejdsløshedsprocenten i slutningen af januar i år over 11,5 sammenlignet med de 9,5, der er gennemsnittet for Fællesskabet.
3. that internationally, little is being done to aid Brazilian research institutes to identify new medicines, aromatic oils, timber and other products from the rain forests that could be sustainably exploited ;
Udsigterne til ny beskæftigelse i Kent er gode, men dette kulminedistrikt, der er ramt af minelukninger, er også ramt af virkningerne af Kanal-tunnelen.
In its resolution of 21 June 1989 on the greenhouse effect, the Council declared that reafforestation and vegetation-enhancing measures in the Community should be intensified and that the Community should play its full role in international efforts to halt the destruction of the tropical rain forests and the process of desertification.
Den hjælp, der kommer fra RECHAR, kunne således være af afgørende betydning for befolkningen i disse minesamfund.
EWING (ARC). — Mr President, will the President-in-Office of the Council ask, before she demits office, that all the Member States' councils condemn the operations of multinationals in the Amazon which are causing this destruction ?
Det er af denne grund, jeg håber, at ændringsforslag nr. 1, der vil begrænse hjælpen til kun at omfatte regioner, der allerede får støtte, vil blive afvist.
CRESSON. — (FR) Yes, I think the reply I have just given answers that question because the Council declared that the Community should play its full part in international efforts to halt the destruction of the tropical rain forests and the process of desertification.
Jeg vil ganske enkelt opfordre Parlamentet til at støtte Martin betænkningen, i særdeleshed de bestemmelser, jeg har nævnt, og ligeledes de foranstaltninger, der skal sikre ægte komplementaritet. Jeg anmoder Kommis sionen om nu at forpligte sig til at følge disse henstillinger.
I would also remind the honourable Member that the Council recently received a communication from the Commission on a Community strategy for the preservation of tropical forests.
Samland (S). — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, hvilket grundlag skal vi gå ud fra, når vi i dag drøfter dette emne?
FITZGERALD (RDE). — I wish to thank the President-in-Office of the Council for her reply.
Vi må konstatere, at der ifølge Kommissionens udsagn i de sidste otte et halvt år er blevet nedlagt ca. 160 000 arbejdspladser i kulminedriften.
In view of the European concern for the environment and the belief that up to 25% of carbon dioxide produced globally comes from the burning of the rain forests in Brazil, can the President-in-Office give me an assurance that Community economic interest in the region or, indeed, outside the region are not contributing to the destruction of these rain forests ?
Af de seneste tal fra Kommissionen ses, at produktiviteten i kulminedriften stiger i Fællesskabet.
In the Arche Summit in July 1989 positions were very clear. I quote : 'The preservation of tropical forests is a top priority for the whole world.
Det skyldes ikke, at f.eks. antallet af arbejds pladser nu igen øges, men snarere, at investeringerne i maskinparken er øget og dermed gennemføres konsekvent nedlæggelse af yderligere arbejdspladser.
While recognizing the sovereign right of developing countries to use their natural resources, we call for wise management on the tropical forests which guarantees the protection of all species therein and preserves the traditional rights of the local communities to their land and other resources.
Det er derfor på høje tid, at Kommissionen med dette forslag forsøger at gennemføre et program for kulminedriften.
We welcome the German initiative in this area as a source of progress.
Vernier (RDE). — (FR) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, for femogtyve år siden skaffede det nord lige Frankrig 200 000 minearbejdere et udkomme.
We recommend the speedy implementation of an action plan for tropical forests adopted in 1986 in the Food and Agriculture Organization.
I dag er der desværre under 10 000 minearbejdere; om to-tre år vil minerne i Nord-regionen være lukkede.
We invite both consumer and producer countries, meeting together in the international organization for tropical woods, to combine their efforts to ensure a better preservation of these forests.
De efterlader en struktur, der er hårdt ramt på det industrielle, bymæssige og menneskelige plan.
We are willing to support the efforts of countries with tropical forests by financial and technical cooperation as well as through international organizations'. tions'.
Hvilke forskellige opgaver skal et sådant program leve op til?
CRESSON. ·— (FR) I can only repeat what I said a short time ago.
På det industrielle plan, fordi mange industrier og håndværk, der var underleverandører til minerne, må lukke samtidig med minerne.
I do not know if there are Community or individual Member States' interests in these regions.
Endelig det menneskelige plan: Man havde ikke brug for nogen uddannelse for at arbejde i minerne, arbejdet gik i arv fra far til søn.
Be that as it may, the Council took a certain number of measures to which I referred a moment ago.
Manglende uddannelse og kvalifikationer præger denne region.
PRESIDENT. — As the authors are not present, Questions Nos 5 and 6 will be answered in writing. '
Regionen Nord-Pas-de-Calais har i lighed med de fleste mineområder brug for fællesskabsstøtte til uddannelsesinstitutioner, gymnasier, universiteter og andre højere læreanstalter for at forberede disse regioners unge til de nutidige og fremtidige jobs.
As early as October 1987 a resolution on the Community environment action programme underlined the importance of cooperation which developing countries on environmental issues and on protecting natural
Vi har forskellige strukturer i minedriften.
See Annex 'Question Time'.
Samland og det andet og derfor er forslaget fra Udvalget om Regionalpolitik og Fysisk Planlægning om både at tage hensyn til tidligere tiders arbejdsløshed og til en eventuel yderligere arbejdsløshed rigtigt.
Has the Council received any proposals from the Commission in connection with Parliament's resolutions of 28 October 1983 and 11 September 1986 calling for the establishment of a European Found ation for Safety at Sea ?
Jeg vil gerne komme med en bemærkning om finan sieringen.
harmonized application of the standards fixed in various conventions on safety at sea.
Hvis dette program virkelig skal være effektivt, kan det ikke udstyres med småbeløb i størrelsesordenen mellem 200 og 250 mio. ECU over fem år.
Under this the signatories agreed to inspect a quota of 25% of merchant ships flying a foreign flag entering their port and to hold or immobilize any defective ships until their deficiencies are corrected.
Hvis blot denne arbejdsløshed blev lagt til grund, hvis man blot tog RESIDER-programmet parallelt dermed, ville det betyde, at vi skal afsætte 3 000 ECU pr. tabt arbejdsplads.
The Member States per manently coordinate their positions within the ILO on safety at sea.
Dermed er vi meget hurtigt oppe på beløb mellem 400 og 450 mio. ECU, som vi skal sætte af blot for at opfylde den socialpolitiske del af dette program, for slet ikke at tale om de strukturpolitiske ændringer, som skal foretages inden for rammerne af EFRU og ESF.
CRESSON, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) On this point the Council has not yet received the Commission proposal to which the honourable Member refers.
Dette lille minesamfund er ikke opført på listen over kulminedistrikter i Kommissionens forslag. Faktisk nævnes Irland overhovedet ikke.
EWING (ARC). — May I ask if the President-in-Office's answer related to the safety of vessels in merchant shipping fleets and whether it covers the behaviour of military submarines which for many years admittedly sank fishing ships and did not go to the rescue of the victims ?
Men de problemer, som dette område står over for i de kommende år, er nøjagtig de samme som dem, kulminedistrikterne i Det Forenede Kongerige, Frankrig og Belgien står over for. Jeg anmoder derfor Kommissionen og i særdeleshed Dem, kommissær Milian, om at optage Arigna-minen eller -kulminedistriktet på listen over støtteberettigede områder, når denne liste offentliggøres i meget nær fremtid.
Are we not playing a game here where the President-in-Office talks about the standards of vessels more or less of a non-military nature when the real problem for many people is the military behaviour which is protected by secrecy in the case of the UK ?
På dette stadium og på betingelse af, at dette samfund får samme muligheder for at udnytte RECHAR-programmet som alle andre kulminesamfund Fællesskabet, støtter jeg fuldt ud Kommissionens forslag, der giver reelt håb om udvikling og omstrukturering af økonomierne i de områder, der traditionelt har været afhængige af kulminer.
It is of concern to everybody that there should be safety at sea and that there should be a set of standards for everybody involved, most notably in the movement of toxic cargoes, oil cargoes, etc. at sea.
David (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, for det første vil jeg gerne tilslutte mig noget, der blev sagt tidligere.
CRESSON. — (FR) In the discussion which is about to take place on political cooperation, there is a question on submarines.
Man kan ikke naivt drøfte dette spørgsmål uden at se, at der også er en sammenhæng med den nuværende Kommissions energipolitik, og vi er bange for, at dette program så at sige er det sociale plaster på såret for en ny energipolitik, som efter den kompetente kommissærs mening i de kommende år drastisk vil reducere kulminedriften til fordel for andre energiteknologier.
I would also take this opportunity to say that no matter how well trained a person may be at sailing a ship or a fishing boat, if nuclear submarines continue travelling around the periphery of the Community a problem will remain.
(Bifald)
PRESIDENT. — Question No 8 by Mr Fitzsimons (H-324/89) :
Ligegyldigt hvilken målestok man benytter, er det en katastrofal tilbagegang for en vigtig industri.
CRESSON. — (FR) In reply to the honourable Member I would remind you of what the Council has done since, as I said, we have not been presented with any Commission proposals.
Parallelt med denne nedgang har vi set akut social nød. I South Wales har vi nogle af de højeste arbejdsløshedsprocenter i Europa.
As navigation is basically international in nature, Member States have given priority to actions to promote safety at sea which are organized by inter national bodies.
Vi har nogle af de laveste indkomster pr. husstand. Vi har nogle af de værste bolig- og sundhedsforhold.
Is the Council aware that when the Exxon Valdez was holed in Alaska's Prince William Sound last March, most of the leaked cargo of oil escaped from the booms used to confine the slick, that oil can seep under such booms in currents as low as 1 kilometre per hour and that high winds and waves can also lift oil over the top of the boom ?
Kort sagt, kulmineområdet i South Wales er et af de værst ramte områder i hele Europa. Det er grunden til at South Wales hilser RECHAR-programmet velkommen. men.
Does the Council consider that the technology in use today to clean up oil slicks is sufficiently advanced to really safeguard the European Community from future similar disasters ?
I Irland ser det nu ud til at den sidste kulmine, der endnu er i drift ved Arigna på grænsen mellem Leitrim og Roscommon, skal lukke.
That is why the Community thinks it important that international instruments in this sphere should be implemented speedily and/or be made to work effect ively.
Virkningen af denne lukning på det lokale samfund i et område, der er meget underprivilegeret, vil være yderst alvorlig; over 206 arbejdspladser vil gå tabt.
CRESSON, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) The Council is fully aware of the need to develop new technologies to improve the general environment.
Området er allerede meget afhængigt af landbruget og mangler alternative beskæftigelsesmuligheder. RECHAR-programmet vil skabe muligheder for at tilvejebringe finansiering, så man kan udvikle alternativ beskæftigelse og synes skræddersyet til samfund som dette.
That was made clear in its resolution of 19 October 1987 on the continuation and implementation of a policy and action programme on the environment as well as the Community environment action programme, the general guidelines of which were approved in that resolution.
Jeg vil også gerne støtte forslaget om, at dette initiativ bør været åbent for så mange kulminedistrikter som muligt.
In addition, the Council adopted on 21 December 1978 two directives on the piloting of ships by deep-sea pilots operating in the North Sea and the English Channel in minimal conditions required of certain tankers entering or leaving Community seaports.
Men jeg mener også, der må ske en koncentration om de minedistrikter, der ligger i områder med svag økonomi, nemlig områderne under mål nr. 1, 2 og 5b.
Finally, all Member States except Luxembourg are signatories to the agreement on surveillance of ships by the State of port, adopted in Paris on 26 January 1982, the aim of which is to ensure the effective and
Jeg håber også, at programmet vil være fleksibelt nok til at tage højde for infrastrukturproblemer, jernbane- såvel som vejforbindelser.
In more specific terms, the Council, in its resolution on the prevention of technical and natural risks stressed the need to improve knowledge through appropriate studies and research into the behaviour of hydrocarbons in water as well as cleaning-up techniques, and it encouraged the Commission to pay particular attention to these questions in its annual programme of study of pilot projects and training.
David tid med hensyn til RECHAR-programmets foran staltninger og virkninger følgende punkter af eksistentiel betydning, hvilket også kommer til udtryk i nogle ændringsforslag.
CRESSON, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) The special legal status of the Principality of Andorra does not confer any special responsibilities on Member States of the Community.
Hvis dette program så snart som muligt bliver gennemført med fantasi og i samarbejde med de lokale myndigheder på græsrodsniveau, så mener jeg, at det i det mindste i en vis udstrækning vil hjælpe med at løse de basale problemer i områder som South Wales.
Will the Minister make a statement commit ting the Community to a research policy geared specifically towards oil-slick clean-up techniques ?
For det andet må RECHAR-bevillingerne ud fra energipolitiske aspekter under ingen omstændigheder tjene til, at igangværende og ud fra et aktuelt synspunkt værdifulde kulforekomster i områderne opgives for altid, for dermed sættes sikringen af den europæiske energiforsyning ved hjælp af kulminedriften på spil.
There is enormous concern about the archaic law — here the coprinces of Spain and France have a grave responsibility — which contains remnants from mediaeval times as far as human rights are concerned. One cause for concern is the defencelessness of the citizens of Andorra in a number of respects: health, because the country may become an island of fraud against the consumer; finance, because it may become a refuge for foreign hot money ; and protection of the environment.
Det skal også for fremtiden sikres, at ny brydning af kul fra disse forekomster er mulig.
I am echoing what was said in the April 1989 report and I put it again to the President of the Council.
Formanden. — Jeg vil gerne overbringe en hilsen til delegationen fra det lunigianesiske center for juridiske studier i Pontremoli, der er på besøg her i Strasbourg for at følge med i vort arbejde.
The subject has been studied on various occasions by the Council, and I would remind you of a certain number of legislative acts by the Council, the aim of which is to control and reduce pollution caused by hydrocarbon spillage at sea.
