Det tror jeg er vigtigere end de specifikke initiativer, som bliver taget i det fremherskende forventningsfulde klima.
Examples of this might be the British Airways/British Caledonian merger and the Irish Distillers case, both of which were significant interventions.
Der kommer repræsentanter til os fra områder som kuldistribution og radio og tv, o.s.v.; folk som aldrig tidligere ville have overvejet at henvende sig til de europæiske myndigheder for at få deres ret.
These have resulted in a situation where every significant merger taking place in Europe today, even in the absence of the merger control regulation which we demand and ask for of the Council and in which we are supported by Parliament, comes to the Commission for an evaluation in any event.
De tænker nu automatisk på at henvende sig, og de tænker i konkurrencepolitiske baner.
We are not seeking to impose industrial policy through competition policy.
Der er selvfølgelig stadig utrolig meget at gøre.
We are ideologically neutral.
Der er f.eks. på et medlemslands børs en enestående høj koncentration med hensyn til ejer skab og meget store muligheder for misbrug af en dominerende stilling.
We are not trying to take a position which is either right or left in terms of the development of economic activity.
I mange medlemslande har vi hele spørgsmålet om koncentration med hensyn til ejerskabet af medierne. Det er igen en fare.
We merely make the point, as Mr Bonaccini did today and has done in the past, that competition is itself a spur to efficiency and if you deny competition you deny the development of an efficient economic way of life.
Man må derfor også i landbruget være mere på vagt, end man hidtil har været.
Functional expansion of this kind has been necessary and desirable.
Der er nogle former for produktionsstøtte, som er skjult — og som derfor endnu ikke bliver omtalt — og som forstyrrer den fri konkurrence.
There has been no reference to the fact that we have moved for the first time into the area of telecommunications which is extremely important.
Der er således nødvendigt, at man undersøger enhver form for national lovgivning til bunds.
The air transport operations which have begun to be attacked for the first time in the context of the decision which was taken in December 1986 represented a genuinely important step forward in the context of competition policy in Europe.
Så er der behovet for at støtte visse former for produktion og for at intervenere i visse ugunstigt stillede regioner.
This year we also enacted a number of directives in the area of telecom munications which are extremely important.
Vi har forestillet os interventioner til støtte af indkomsterne, som imidlertid virkelig må være dette og ikke forvandles til en nedsættelse af priserne og forvridning af konkurrencen.
This is another market which has managed in the past to shelter itself from the wind of competition and has suffered as a result.
I denne forbindelse anmoder vi om større opmærksomhed fra Kommissionens side, for dér, hvor man intervenerer i de ugunstigt stillede områder, må man sikre indkomt og overlevelse, og dette må ikke føre til forvridninger.
In complimenting Mr Bonaccini for his report and for the resolutions put forward, we very much value the dialogue which has been maintained at committee level this year between our two institutions.
Vi hører imidlertid i Irland foruroligende rygter om, at en kombination af en lavere momssats på passagertransporten og nedlæggelse af de afgiftsfrie butikker vil medføre en stigning på 30% i billetpriserne.
The banking and insurance sectors have of course been referred to in the context of Mr Bonaccini's report but it is important that they be referred to also in this debate.
Hvis luft havnene har en fortjeneste på meget mere end £5 pr. passager ser det ud til, at man »plukker« dem.
They are not irrelevant in the context of the completion of the internal market.
Den afgiftsfri lobby har heller ikke medregnet de langsigtede besparelser ved fjernelsen af pas- og toldkontrollen i trafikken inden for Europa.
I believe that the 17th report traces developments in the competition field during 1987 and shows that we have drawn together in a comprehensive fashion all the legislative work, decision-making, court judgments and economic analyses in the year in question.
Hvis de afgiftsfrie butikker er statsstøtte til luftfarten, så kan vi nok finde mere åbne og rationelle måder, hvorpå vi fortsat kan yde en sådan støtte inden for de almindelige regler for statsstøtte.
It is no surprise to me that it has been the best selling publication of the European Community, not merely this year but in the last two years.
Det ville gøre det muligt at tage regionalpolitiske hensyn til fjerntbeliggende regioner.
Perhaps that fact is indicative of the relevance of competition policy, a relevance which sometimes one might be called upon to question in view of the inadequate amount of time which is afforded to it in normal debates during the year in the Community.
Jeg rejser dette spørgsmål, fordi jeg mener, at det viser, at vi bør være på vagt over for forskellige lobbyers og kapitalejeres forsøg på at anvende 1992 som en undskyldning for at forhøje priserne.
In the area of State aids the quantum leap in terms of recovery of State aids that has taken place over the course of the last year is something which is also of considerable importance.
Van Hemeldonck (S). — (NL) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, jeg vil gerne over for Dem, hr. ord fører, nævne en række eksempler på, hvad der er galt med konkurrencepolitikken.
MEDEIROS FERREIRA (S). — (PT) Mr President, I should like to thank Commissioner Sutherland for those clarifications and say how much I admire him.
Vi forventer alle, at fjernelsen af grænserne efter 1992 vil resultere i lavere forbrugerpriser på grund af den stærkere konkurrence.
What we have to demand legitimately, as Mr Bonaccini correctly points out, is a level playing pitch.
Man ville ikke kunne opretholde en så dramatisk forskel uden grænsekontrol på grund af den mere direkte konkurrence, der ville komme, hvis man fjernede dem.
Certainly it would be wrong to suggested, as was suggested by Mr Ferreira, that there is a bias one way or another.
For det første skævhederne på bilmarkedet.
In the area of merger control which was very properly raised by Mrs Braun-Moser we have taken significant
I syv EF-lande, herunder Belgien, findes der en ekstra
The vote will be taken tomorrow at 12 noon.
I fem af disse syv lande udgør afgiften ved anskaffelse af en bil mellem 50 og 200%.
Parliament is rightly sore at the way that we are still not properly consulted on such matters.
Det er klart, at producenterne ikke på nogen som helst måde kan harmonisere deres priser, hvis de ikke samtidig kender omfanget af den efter følgende afgift.
There are great difficulties, primarily in the petrochemicals area, as was shown by the recent controversy surrounding the Council's decision to withdraw GSP benefits from certain petrochemicals coming from Saudi Arabia.
De japanske og fjernøstlige producenter må nå til enighed med Det Europæiske Fællesskab, så deres salg af importerede varer eller varer, de har produceret i Europa, bliver holdt inden for rimelige grænser i en fastsat periode. Så må medlemslandene enes om at fordele byrden af importen og de japanskproducerede europæiske biler ligeligt mellem sig i denne overgangsperiode.
HINDLEY (S), rapporteur. — Mr President, in view of the lateness of the hour, I will, of course, try to be as brief as possible, although in my capacity as rapporteur for a Parliament committee I cannot offer to be as ideologically neutral as the Commissioner was saying one should be on such occasions.
Medlemsstaterne må træffe aftale om det europæiske indhold på et realistisk grundlag, principielt på grundlag af fremstillingspris og kom ponenter.
The general view of the petrochemicals industry in the Community seems to be that a free trade agreement is not desirable, although I must point out that this is by no means the unanimous view of the petrochemicals industry.
Vort endemål må være et åbent marked.
There is a clear need to protect industry in the EEC.
Men Japan og landene i Det Fjerne Østen må også gøre gen gæld.
At the same time, this must be balanced by a desire to meet the GCC's obvious and understandable wish to diversify its base of exports.
Den europæiske konkurrenceevne må også forudsætte, at man indtager en streng holdning med hensyn til ulovlig statsstøtte, som umuliggør en virkelig europæisk konkurrence. Vi må ønske Kom missionen til lykke med dens succes på dette område i den senere tid, men vi må også holde et vågent øje med situationen under den videre omstrukturering.
It is the desire of a devel oping country to gain the added value at home rather than simply be the exporter of crude products — although how far the term 'a developing area' can be used as an accurate designation of countries which have a greater domestic product than some of our countries remains in doubt.
Det drejer sig om en form for neoprotektionisme under påskud af at beskytte en særegenhed, en kvalitet eller en lokal betegnelse.
I was a little surprised that such an amendment was deemed admissible.
Aboim Inglez (COM). — (PT) Hr. formand, kon kurrencepolitikken kan ikke begrænses til de rene markedsanliggender.
I fully sympathize with the intention to get Parliament consulted in a wider fashion.
På den ene side burde den garantere alle virksomheder lige adgangsbetingelser til markederne, og det forudsætter allerede en positiv diskriminering af de små og mellemstore virksomheder, navnlig i de mere tilbagestående lande.
However, if, after the committee has decided on an issue, you insert a suggestion that the matter should have been handled in a different way, this seems to me, to say the least, rather unclear, legally speaking.
På den anden side burde en sådan politik forhindre, at konkurrencen ved de stærkestes lov fører til monopol- eller oligopollignende situationer.
If the amendment were adopted, we would have adopted a resolution that said that the committee and then Parliament had been consulted in a way in which it had not been con sulted.
Et sådant dobbeltkrav udspringer af vor mærkesag, nemlig at opnå en større økonomisk og social samhørighed. Vi må ikke forstærke ulighederne.
As I say, I have much sympathy with the desire expressed in this amendment, because it points to a desire for the committee and Parliament to exercise a wider role in discussing these matters than is permissible under Article 235.
I sin betænkning om omkostningerne ved »Ejropa« satte hr. Cecchini automobilindustrien øverst på listen over europæiske industrisektorer, som bidrog mest til omkostningerne på 175 mil liarder ecu ved »Ejropa«.
In voting for the framework agreement, the European Parliament would be affirm ing its support for the early conclusion of a mutually beneficial agreement between the two parties. There fore, I commend it to the House.
Vi kræver effektive garantier for, at der sker en intern udvikling og en omstrukturering af produktionsapparatet i disse lande, samt at afhængigheden ikke bliver større i forhold til den internationale arbejdsdeling.
It is also an indication of the disquient expressed in the Committee on External Economic Relations that we may be seeing an attempt to circumvent Parliament's rights under Article 238 by referring matters to us under Article 235.
Medlemslandene og automobilindustrien tog fejl, når de troede, at deres interesser bedst blev tilgodeset ved en høj grad af national protektionisme, som kun sætter omkostningerne i vejret og fremmer ineffektivitet.
HABSBURG (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Political Affairs Committee. — (DE) Mr President, this agreement is of great importance for us all.
Konkurrence både i og uden for Europa er af afgørende betydning.
To start with I should like to make one thing clear.
Et fælles indre marked må udvikles fuldt ud, være stærkt nok til at modstå konkurrence udefra og til at spille den rette rolle på verdensmarkederne. Det er yderst væsentligt, at der er tid til at rette en sådan position til.
Although I would very much have liked to approve my friend, Mr Newton Dunn's, amendments, and although I basically think they are right, we cannot approve them this time because we could not get them through from the legal point of view and it is not in our interest to post pone ratification still further.
Det var indholdet af min betænkning fra 1986: At Kommissionen har reageret alt for langsomt på denne situation med effektive foranstaltninger.
Generally speaking there is welcome for the conclusion of this agreement, particularly in the light of the nature of political events in that part of the world.
Jeg er klar over, at der er politiske vanskeligheder inde i billedet, men jeg må anmode Kommissionen om at udvise mere fasthed ved fremlæggelse af stærkere forslag. »Fæstning« Europa er ikke nogen løsning.
We were very pleased to see an end to the Iran-Iraq con flict and hope that with the cessation of hostilities in that part of the world we can move into a new era of peace.
Fordelingen af Fællesskabets indtjening har siden 1980 afsløret et fald i lønandelen i forhold til
It is particularly fortuitous that this report is coming to us now at this time.
Det er retfærdigt og beviser, at Det Euro pæiske Fællesskab allerede er nået til midten af Atlanterhavet.
We should make sure that the European Com munity recognizes that in its promotional work.
Også her er den sociale samhørighed forsømt.
They paved the way for what fortunately came later.
Derfor mener vi ikke, at Fællesskabets konkurrence politik kan se bort fra disse faktorer, men bør tage dem i betragtning.
Just imagine what would have happened if one side had won an outright victory: it would have been unimaginable, because there would have been an explosive political chain reaction throughout the region, particularly if Iran had won.
Bonaccini-betænkningen glemmer ikke, at konkurrencepolitikken ikke blot bør betragtes indefra, men gør snarere opmærksom på, at europæiske virksomheder nødvendigvis må have større konkurrenceevne på verdensmarkedet.
I recommend to the House that we support Mr Hindley's report and that in doing so, as I have said before, we should try to emphasize those elements rel evant to the work of the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology.
Tilbage er det blot at komplimentere hr. Bonaccini for hans udmærkede betænkning.
CHEYSSON, Member of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, the Commission finds Mr Hindley's report outstanding and is pleased it has been supported by the draftsmen of opinions for the Political Affairs Com mittee and the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology in particular.
Medeiros Ferreira (S). — (PT) Hr. formand, må jeg først sige, at hverken Kommissionens syttende beretning eller Bonaccini- betænkningen blev oversat til portugisisk i rette tid.
But we must not forget — and I stress this in the Political Affairs Committee's opinion — that traditional friendships are involved here.
Det påhviler de nationale myndigheder at sikre, at det portugisiske sprog fortsat vil være officielt sprog og et arbejdssprog i Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
We must not forget that until the end of the First World War this whole region was linked with Europe through Turkey and that it shaped European policy.
Men jeg vil komme med min protest her og nu.
We therefore have a great responsibility for the region's future, and it is in our vital interest that there should be stability there.
Braun-Moser (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, i den glimrende Bonaccini-betænkning, som vi spændt har ventet på, er der endnu en gang tale om vor konkurrencepolitik, som er en meget vigtig bestanddel af det europæiske lovkompleks.
Quite apart from the fact that we must not forget that the economic situation in the region is very unhealthy.
Selvfølgelig forventer vi også vækstimpulser — det var meningen med Cecchiniundersøgelsen — når vi skaber større konkurrence.
When we wonder why there is such disorder on our financial markets, we ought to remember that money is involved that cannot be invested in its country of origin and wanders around the world sowing insecurity.
Hr. formand, jeg mener, Bonaccini-betænkningen er meget bedre end Kommissionens syttende beretning.
This report clearly illustrates the economic and political importance of the six Gulf countries.
Denne syttende beretning synes at sige, at det eneste, der kan skade konkurrencereglerne, er statsstøtte.
It points out that our political relations with them go back a very long way, and Mr Habsburg has just highlighted once again the stabilizing role they played in the region during the Iran-Iraq war, in the face of pressure for unity that could have threatened a lasting peace.
Derimod angriber det foreliggende beslutningsforslag — i nøje overensstemmelse med Rom-Traktaten — forekomsten af utilbørlige koncentrationer af økonomisk magt såvel offentlige som private.
From the economic point of view our relations are very significant where energy is concerned because of the financial strength of some of these countries — again I would refer to Mr Habsburg's speech.
Rom-Traktaten omtaler faktisk ikke ejendomsretten til produktionsanlæg, men koncentrerer sig om garantier for, at konkurrencereglerne fungerer.
Their involvement in the market economy is an important factor in the progress of this type of economy, to which we are all so committed.
Derfor forstår vi heller ikke de gentagne hentydninger i den syttende beretning til, at det portugisiske parlament i visse tilfælde skulle have forhindret privatisering — jeg citerer: »ikke-forfatningsmæs-sige privatiseringer«.
It is therefore very much in our interest to encourage stability, so that this money can be invested in the country it comes from, so that it can be tied down and benefit the people who will soon realize what a tragic mistake it was to spend their money in all sorts of ridiculous ways when they still had oil.
Lige så lidt forstår vi filosofien bag de betragtninger angående statens rolle i det portugisiske økonomiske liv, der fylder en hel side — side 305 i den franske version.
Oil is a very ephemeral source of wealth, and it is therefore important that we should give these countries the opportunity to use it sensibly.
Kommissionen bør ikke forveksle fremme af konkurrenceregler med forudfattede meninger mod aktioner fra statens side.
I therefore ask the House to approve this report unanimously.
Dersom vi ønsker at overvinde den såkaldte euro sklerose, må vi muliggøre ny konkurrence.
It is a splendid peregrination around the various countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Hr. Bonacchini omtaler i punkt 20 med rette, at der også bør føres kontrol med tværsubvention mellem statsmonopolernes forskellige sektorer, og at statsmonopolerne i henhold til vor konkurrencelovgivning ikke må beherske markederne.
Like the parliamentary committees, the Commission would therefore like you to follow the advice of your rapporteur and your draftsmen, thereby following also the resolution this House adopted in February 1987 on the basis of a report by Mr Costanzo.
De skal i hvert fait åbne sig for at muliggøre større grænseoverskridende kon kurrence.
This will reaffirm the Community's consistent policy.
Bonaccini-betænkningen er mere streng i den hen seende i punkt 39 og 40, når den fastslår de nødvendige tilpasninger i Grækenlands og Portugals til fælde, så deres virksomheder fuldt ud kan deltage i konkurrencepolitikken, omend i punkt 39's ånd, der gør opmærksom på faren ved, at konkurrencepolitikken kan komme til at gøre tingene endnu vanskeligere i de ugunstigst stillede regioner.
The one element that the Committee on Energy, Research and Technology would like to see emphasized in the report is that the research and technology promoted in that area in cooperation between the European Community and the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council should relate to appropriate technology.
Det er rigtigt, at Kommissionens syttende beretning omtaler nogle af disse regioner, såsom Madeira og Acorerne, eller visse sektorer som for eksempel stålindustrien.
It should be the kind of technology that respects Islamic values and Islamic concerns that are of such great concern in that part of the world. As Paul Feuerabend, the American philosopher, said, 'science and technology are not neutral'.
I forbindelse med konkurrencelovgivningen skal vi også holde os kontrollen med virksomhedssammenslutninger for øje.
At the political level, since 1987 the Community and Gulf Foreign Ministers have met several times.
For derved prisgives praktisk talt den konkurrencepolitik, som hidtil var sædvane i en række lande.
The Ministers have developed a feeling of trust and confidence that has enabled them to tackle any issue.
Der planlægges industripolitisk motiveret styring af virksomhederne, og store virksomheder behandles tilsyneladende gunstigere end små, når de vil slutte sig sammen, altså fusionere.
Confidence is the goal we must aim for. We are too dependent on each other not to try to build this confidence, and that is why we have been talking about a cooperation agreement since April 1986.
I sidste ende skal vi sørge for, at der opretholdes en levende fusionskontrol, og at en levende konkurrencelovgivning videreføres.
In September 1987 it was decided to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
Braun-Moser man tager i betragtning, hvilket personale der har været til rådighed hertil.
Cheysson reasons why these agreements include financial protocols and guaranteed financial facilities.
Disse beslutninger vedrørende karteller, monopoler og statsstøtte har fået meget stor indvirkning på hele udviklingen op til 1992.
We are therefore talking about a cooperation agreement based on Articles 235 and 113, presented to Parliament by the Council on a recommendation from the Commission.
Sutherland, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne starte med at takke hr. Bonaccini, som i de sidste 4 år har været en ven af konkurrencepolitikken og konstant har vist dens udvikling interesse.
I will of course listen very carefully to arguments to the contrary. But after recommending strongly that the House adopt the resolution tabled by the Committee on External Economic Relations, I should like to express my surprise at the last-minute change in the consultation.
Hr. Bonaccini — men ingen andre — henviste meget apropos til, at man for nylig har vedtaget 2 blokundtagelser, som har betydning med hensyn til franchising og udnyttelse af knowhow under licens.
This is under discussion at the moment, and it would be premature for me to indicate the position the Commission will be recommending.
Sådanne blokundtagelser er meget væsentlige, og de beslutninger, der er truffet på dette område, har den største betydning for konkurrence politikkens udvikling.
NEWENS (S). — Mr President, in common with previous speakers I hope this report will be adopted.
De anvendes til at give tilladelse til visse aftalekategorier, som opfylder visse nærmere fastsatte kriterier, som ellers skal indberettes og undersøges i Kommissionen.
It provides the basis for improving trade relations between the Community and the Gulf Cooperation Council from which both sides stand to gain.
De beslutninger, der er truffet herom, var væsentlige og bør kommenteres nærmere.
How ever, it should be said that in the subsequent discussions aimed at building on the foundations laid down certain considerations need to be borne in mind, some of which have been touched on this evening.
Karakterbogen ved skoleårets afslutning har altid været lettere traumatisk for dem af os, som kan huske vor skoletid klart.
The logical approach was to start with all the other types of cooperation, which will facilitate movement towards cooperation on trade.
