I øvrigt mener Rådet, således som jeg også har haft mulighed for at bekræfte det flere gange her i Parlamentet, senest i et svar til hr. Andrews under mødeperioden i april, at det er aldeles nødvendigt at sætte alt ind for at standse arbejdsløshedens vækst og skabe forudsætninger for et økonomisk opsving, der kan sikre en nedgang i ledigheden.
Moreover, the Council believes, as I have had occasion to confirm on many occasions here in Parliament — on the last occasion in the course of my answer to Mr Andrews during the April partsession — that it is absolutely essential that we do everything we can to prevent unemployment from rising and to create the right conditions for an economic upswing that can reduce the number of unemployed.
Denne indfaldsvinkel blev bekræftet af Det Europæiske Råd i København.
This approach was confirmed by the European Council in Copenhagen.
Fællesskaberne og dets medlemsstater er fast indstillet på at iværksætte politik ker, der bygger på en klar strategi. Denne strategi skal
The Community and its Member States are firmly committed to implementing policies that are based on a clear strategy.
HOWELL (PPE). — (EN) Er rådsformanden klar over, at det svar, han lige gav, nemlig at det ikke er rådsformandens eller i det hele taget Rådets ansvar, formentlig vil vække betydelig uro her i salen, eftersom vi er bekendt med, at de omfattende vandringer af folk, ikke blot fra Jugoslavien, men også fra Østeuropa og længere borte fra, sandsynligvis vil have betydelige økonomiske virk
HOWELL (PPE). — Is the President of the Council in Office aware that the answer that he has just given, namely that it is not the responsibility of the President of the Council, or indeed the responsibility of the Council at all, is likely to be one which is met with considerable alarm in this House since we are aware that the massive migratory movements of peoples, not just from Yugoslavia, but also from Eastern Europe and beyond are likely to have substantial economic implications for us all.

HELVEG PETERSEN både på kort, mellemlang og lang sigt genskabe tilliden og tilføre økonomien nye impulser ved at styrke den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne.
HELVEG PETERSEN equipped with the capacity required to offer job-seekers the best possible support.
Men det er selvfølgelig afgørende, at arbejdstagere, der beskæftiges under sådanne atypiske arbejdsformer, sikres rimelige arbejdsvilkår.
However, it is naturally of decisive importance that workers employed under so-called atypical labour relations must be assured reasonable working conditions.
De må selvfølgelig ikke lades i stikken.
It goes without saying that we cannot leave them in the lurch.
Netop dette ligger bag formandskabets prioritering af den sociale dimension.
It is precisely this concern that underpins the presidency's allocation of priority status to the social dimension.
KOSTOPOULOS (NI). — (GR) Jeg vil sige helt ærligt, at jeg beundrer det danske formandskabs mod til at kalde tingene ved deres rette navn i forbindelse med arbejdsløs heden.
EPHREMIDIS (CG). — (GR) I would like to thank the President-in-Office.
Og vi må erkende, at det danske formandskab er et af de eneste formandskaber, en af de eneste regeringer, der har sat arbejdsløsheden, et så vigtigt socialt spørgsmål, øverst på dagsordenen.
He tried to give an answer, and he is likeable because he too comes from Denmark, which is well-known for being sensitive to social issues, as demonstrated by the exceptions requested by the Treaty of Maastricht.
EPHREMIDIS (CG). — (GR) Jeg vil gerne takke Rådets repræsentant. Han forsøgte at give et svar.
KOSTOPOULOS (NI). — (GR) I would sincerely say that I appreciate the courage of the Danish Presidency for not mincing his words as regards the important issue of unemployment.
Jeg finder ham sympatisk, også fordi han kommer fra Danmark, som har den rette forståelse for de sociale spørgsmål, hvilket er fremgået af de undtagelser, Danmark krævede i Maastricht-aftalen.
We must say that the Danish Presidency is one of the few presidencies, and one of the few governments, that attaches such importance to the issue of unemployment, which is such an important social issue.
Hr. Helveg Petersens udtalelser er imidlertid selvmodsigende på et punkt.
There is, however, a contradiction in what Mr Helveg Petersen said.
Han nævnte selv indførelsen af ny teknologi.
This concerns the issue of the introduction of new technologies.
Den nye teknologi øger som bekendt forskel len mellem produktivitet og vækst på den ene side og arbejdsløshed på den anden side.
As you know, Mr President, this issue is accentuating the disparities between production, development and unemployment.
Dvs., at mens vækst og øget produktivitet tidligere gav mulighed for at øge beskæftigelsen, er det modsatte tilfældet i dag.
While over the past few years, development and increased production gave rise to opportunities to increase the number of jobs, today quite the opposite is true.
Den nye teknologi reducerer det manuelle arbejde, menneskets arbejde.
Indeed, new technologies reduce manual work and reduce human work.
Og her er det store problem, som jeg ved, at hverken hr. Petersen eller nogen anden af os kan løse, men det er det største problem i de udviklede lande i dag, og især i denne store økonomiske enhed kaldet Europa.
Herein lies the big problem, which I know cannot be solved by Mr Helveg Petersen, or by any of us, although it is the most important problem facing the former governments and — especially — that expansive economic entity we call Europe.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Jeg vil gerne takke for tillægsspørgsmålet, som jeg synes er overordentlig væsentligt.
However, I am compelled to comment on and ask the following with regard to what was said: As it happens I have spent 13 years in the European Parliament, and at almost all the plenary sittings I have raised the issue of unemployment.
Det er jo omstridt, hvorledes forholdet er imellem beskæftigelse og ny teknologi.
Likewise, I have received a wide variety of answers of the sort, 201 We will do what is possible.
Der er lande på et højt teknologisk niveau, f.eks.
We will do everything we can to deal with unemployment'.
Japan, som har en lavere arbejdsløshed, end vi har her i Europa.
The result is that, while back in 1981 when I first came to Parliament, unemployment was well under 10 million, today it has reached 18 million, and is heading for 20 million.
Man kan derfor ikke uden videre sige, at et højt teknologisk niveau er ensbetydende med høj ledighed.
Thus, the approaches which you are implementing, Mr President-in-Office, are not effective.
Vi har lande, der har et meget lavt teknologisk niveau, og som har en enorm stor arbejdsløshed.
It therefore remains for you to give a newer and more specific answer.
Ja, det er vel i virkeligheden det almindeligste, at hvis landene har et lavt teknologisk niveau, det gælder f.eks. mange udviklingslande, så er det ledsaget af meget stor arbejdsløshed.
I asked the following: As regards these much vaunted flexible forms of work — namely parttime and temporary work, both of which are precarious forms of work — what are you going to do to deal with them, and why is unemployment rising instead of drop ping?
Jeg er imidlertid nødt til at komme med en kommentar og et spørgsmål til hans svar: Jeg har nu været medlem af Europa-Parlamentet i 13 år, og i næsten hver eneste mødeperiode har jeg rejst spørgsmålet vedrørende arbejdsløshed, og jeg får næsten altid det samme svar. »Vi vil gøre, hvad der er muligt, vi vil gøre alt for at bekæmpe arbejdsløsheden«.
May I bring up something, which just happens to be Danish? In the conclusions of the Copenhagen Summit, at the initiative of the Danish Presidency, the question was raised of the economic recovery, and the steps to be taken, etc., if the rights of workers were not to be affected.
Og resultatet er, at hvor arbejdsløsheden var langt under 10 mio i 1981, da jeg kom i Parlamentet, ligger den nu på 18 mio, på vej til de 20.
The phrase was struck out at the demand of others, and you accepted this.
De fremgangsmåder, De anvender, er altså ikke effektive nok.
So I am asking you how anyone can believe, and whether you believe that we can cope with the problem of unemployment in the way you mentioned.
Jeg havde derfor forventet, at De havde givet et nyt og mere konkret svar.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — (DA) I would like to thank the questioner for his supplementary, which I believe to be extraordinarily important.
Og jeg vil gerne gøre Dem opmærksom på en ting, som også er dansk.
There are countries with highly advanced technology, like Japan, which have a lower level of unemployment than we do here in Europe.
I konklusionerne fra mødet i København havde det danske formandskab taget initiativ til en bemærkning om, at foranstaltningerne med henblik på et økonomisk genopsving ikke må ramme arbejdstagernes rettigheder.
Consequently, it cannot simply be claimed that a high level of technological advancement is synonymous with high unemployment.
Denne sætning krævede de andre slettet, og De gik ind på dette.
Moreover, there are countries which have a very low level of technology but an extremely high level of unemployment.
Hvordan kan man så tro på — og jeg vil spørge Dem, om De tror på det — at De vil bekæmpe arbejdsløshedsproblemet med det, De har sagt.
Yes, and in reality it is most frequently the case that countries with only a low level of technology, e.g. many of the developing countries, are plagued by extremely high unemployment.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Rådet og også Det Europæiske Råd deler helt den bekymring over udviklingen i arbejdsløsheden, som kommer til udtryk i spørgsmålet.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — (DA) Both the Council and the European Council fully share the concern about the growth of unemployment as expressed in the question.
Det Europæiske Råd beskæftigede sig på mødet i København i weekenden omfattende med de grundlæggende problemer for beskæftigelsen i medlemslandene.
At its meeting in Copenhagen at the weekend the European Council dealt comprehensively with the basic problems concerning employment in the Member States.
Det er klart, at vi har set en tendens over temmelig lang tid til fortsat stigning i ledighed, selv om der selvfølgelig har været udsving undervejs, men vi har set en langtidstendens til en stigning i ledigheden.
It is clear that, for some time, we have witnessed a trend towards rising unemployment. There have, of course, been fluctuations from time to time, but there has definitely been a trend towards rising unemployment.
Det er altså et emne, der kan ses fra mange forskellige synsvinkler.
This is also one of those subjects that can be viewed from many different angles.
Men jeg vil gerne medgive spørgeren, at der er meget, der tyder på, at der i de moderne industrialiserede vestlige europæiske samfund, er en sammenhæng imellem den teknologiske udvikling og den stigende arbejdsløshed, som vi måske ikke har forstået til bunds endnu.
However, I will gladly concede to the questioner that there are many people who suggest that in our modern industrialized Western European society there is a link between technological advance ment and rising unemployment which we have probably still not fully understood.
Det er netop derfor, at det er så vigtigt, at vi nu indgående beskæftiger os med problemstillinger af denne art. Vi må søge bedre svar, end vi har i øjeblikket, på den meget komplicerede sammenhæng, som spørgeren rejser i sit tillægsspørgsmål.
That is precisely the reason why it is so important that we deal more comprehensively with problems of this kind. We must look for better answers than we have at the moment to the extremely complex relations pointed out by the questioner in his supplementary.
Det blev sat i værk på mødet i København.
Indeed, this was done at the Council meeting in Copenhagen.
Det var et centralt emne for debatten i København, og det bliver et centralt spørgsmål for Kommissionen, når den i løbet af dette år skal udarbejde sin hvidbog.
It was a central topic of debate there and it will remain a central question for the Commission when it draws up its white paper on the subject this year.
Det bekymrer selvfølgelig stats- og regeringscheferne, og dette var et hovedemne på det københavnske topmøde.
Naturally, this is a source of worry to the heads of state and government, and unemployment was the main topic of discussion at the Copenhagen Summit.
For første gang, kan man sige, gennemførte stats- og regeringscheferne en omfattende diskussion af, hvorledes Fællesskaberne i de kommende år skal sætte ind over
First of all, it can be said that the heads of state and government engaged in a comprehensive discussion as to how the Community will get to grips with this growing problem over the next few years.
HABSBURG (PPE). — (DE) Hr. rådsformand, først og fremmest vil jeg gerne stille et indiskret spørgsmål i
In his speech here in Parliament this morning the President-in-Office of the European Council underlined that it was unanimously agreed at the meeting of the European Council held in Copenhagen to ensure better coordination of the Member States' economic policies.
tilslutning til det, hr. Ephremidis sagde.
HABSBURG (PPE). — (DE) Mr President-in-Office, I would first and foremost like to ask an indiscreet question flowing from what Mr Ephremidis said.
Er De egentlig tilfreds med udtalelserne fra København?
Are you really satisfied with what was said at Copenhagen?
I øvrigt vil jeg gerne sige følgende: De nævnte netop Japan.
Further more, I would like to make the following comments: You have just mentioned Japan.
Når De tager det land som eksempel, skal vi dog være helt klar over, at den fulde beskæftigelse, det næsten har opnået, ikke så meget kan føres tilbage til en høj teknologi, men til en bred middelstand, for det er de små og mellemstore virksomheder og middelstanden, der rent faktisk skaber de varige arbejdspladser.
When you take this country as an example, we should still be fully aware of the fact that the level of full employment which it has virtually reached has less to do with its high state of technological advancement than with its extensive middle class, for it is the small and mediumsized enterprises and the middle classes that actually create jobs in the long term.
Nu spørger jeg Dem: I hvilket omfang beskæftiger Rådet sig egentlig med dette centrale problem for vor økonomi?
So I ask you now: To what extent is the Council dealing with this key problem facing our economy?
KOSTOPOULOS (NI). —(GR) Det forholder sig sådan, at jeg altid er ærlig, og jeg vil derfor kun sige et par ord.
environmental problems.The Agency's seat will be decided at a meeting of the European Council in accord ance with the decision made in Edinburgh on 12 December 1992.
Jeg rejste dette spørgsmål til behandling i dag, og det var ikke, fordi jeg ikke ville presse formandskabet til at få en afgørelse om dette i København. Jeg er meget ubetydelig og har ikke politisk format til at presse dette igennem.
The presidency is well aware of how urgent this decision is and will do its utmost to reach a satisfactory conclusion with regard to determining the seat of the European Environmental Agency.
Jeg gjorde det mere, fordi jeg troede, at der måske kunne ske noget i København.
The subject was not actually up for discussion at the Copenhagen Summit.
Men ud fra medierne og de forskel lige besøg, som Danmarks statsminister har aflagt hos de øvrige medlemsstaters ledere, kan man konstatere en vis divergens mellem synspunkterne med hensyn til oprettelsen af forskellige europæiske institutioner, fordi med lemslandene ikke er blevet enige om deres hjemsted.
This was because the Maastricht Treaty has not yet been definitively ratified, and it is my belief that only when it has been definitively ratified by all the Member States will the Council make its decision on the location of the institutions, including the location of the European Environmental Agency.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Det ærede medlem spørger, om jeg er tilfreds med topmødets konklusioner vedrørende vækst og beskæftigelse.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — (DA) The honourable Member asks whether I am satisfied with the conclusions of the summit meeting with regard to growth and employment.
Jeg er tilfreds med, at dette spørgsmål er sat øverst på dagsordenen.
I am satisfied that the issue has been placed at the top of the agenda.
Jeg mener, der er grund til at være tilfreds med, at dette spørgsmål nu dominerer regeringernes overvejelser.
I believe there is reason to be content with the fact that this question currently dominates government considerations.
Men det siger sig selv, at man ikke kan være tilfreds, når arbejdsløsheden er så høj, som den er, og oven i købet stigende.
However, it goes without saying that I am not satisfied that unemployment is as high as it is and, what is more, rising.
Det ville være mærkeligt, om nogen ytrede tilfredshed med det, og det vil jeg selvfølgelig ikke gøre.
It would be strange for anybody to claim that they were satisfied with this, and I of course will not be doing so.
Men jeg synes, det har været rigtigt at sætte spørgsmålet øverst på Det Europæiske Råds dagsorden, og vi er i det danske formandskab tilfredse med, at dette er lykkedes.
However, I believe that it was correct to place this issue right at the top of the European Council's agenda, and we in the Danish Presidency are happy that the bid to do so was successful.
Jeg havde i hvert fald forventet, at mødet i København kunne komme med et svar, hvad det ikke gjorde.
I did it more, Mr President, because I thought that something might happen in Copenhagen.
Det er lige meget.
It does not matter.
Jeg håber, at det, som hr. Petersen nævnte, vil ske i den nærmeste fremtid, dvs. omkring topmødet i Bruxelles.
I hope that what Mr Helveg Petersen said will be achieved in the near future, namely by the time of the Brussels Conference.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Jeg tror, mange havde håbet, at beslutningerne kunne træffes i København.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — (DA) I believe that there many who hoped that decisions could be made at the Copenhagen Summit.
Det viste sig, at det ikke blev tilfældet, men jeg glæder mig over det ærede medlems interesse for denne sag.
As it turned out, this proved not to be the case, but I am glad to leam of the honourable Member's interest in the matter.
Jeg er aldeles enig med det ærede medlem i, at en hurtig beslutning vedrørende Miljøagenturets, men i øvrigt også andre fællesskabsinstitutioners placering, er en meget påtrængende opgave.
I fully agree with the honourable Member that a swift decision regarding the seat of the European Environmental Agency — as well as other institutions, let us not forget — is an extremely pressing matter.
Det ærede medlem påviser, at den høje beskæftigelse i Japan også har noget at gøre med andre faktorer end det teknologiske niveau.
The honourable Member points out that the high rate of employment in Japan also has something to do with facts other than the state of technological advancement there.
Det er jeg ganske enig i.
I quite agree with him.
Men det har også noget at gøre med det teknologiske niveau, og det har en masse at gøre med den totale konkurrencedygtighed af den japanske økonomi, som betyder, at den japanske økonomi har været i stand til at skabe jobs til sin befolkning i et større omfang end EF-medlemslandenes økonomier.
But it nevertheless does have something to do with technological advancement and it has a great deal to do with the total competitiveness of the Japanese economy, which has meant that the Japanese economy has been able to create jobs for the country's population to a greater extent than has proved possible for the economies of the EC Member States.
Det viser sig bl.a. også ved det meget store overskud, som Japan har i sin samhandel med resten af verden, og som jo egentlig er et udtryk for, at vi, som har underskud i forhold til Japan, eksporterer arbejdspladser til Japan, eller sagt på en anden måde, at Japan importerer arbejdspladser fra os.
This is apparent, for example, from the great surplus that Japan enjoys in its trade with the rest of the world, which is also a sign that we, who have a deficit in relation to Japan, are exporting jobs to Japan or — put the other way round — that Japan is importing jobs from us.
Det kommer til udtryk i det meget store overskud på betalingsbalancen.
This fact is clearly reflected in the enormous surplus in the balance of payments.
Der er komplicerede sammenhænge i dette, men jeg deler det synspunkt, som spørgeren gav udtryk for: at en analyse af den japanske økonomi vil vise, at der er mange komplicerede forklaringer på, at den japanske økonomi er så konkurrencedygtig.
There are complex relations at work here, but I share the view expressed by the questioner that an analysis of the Japanese economy will show that there are many complicated explanations why the Japanese economy is so competitive.
FORMANDEN. — Spørgsmål nr. 7 af Kostopoulos (H-0608/93):
PRESIDENT. — Question No 7 by Mr Kostopoulos (H-0608/93)
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Spørgeren har ret i, at der ikke er nogen juridisk sammenhæng mellem ratifikationen af Maastricht og beslutningen om placeringen af institutionerne.
BONDE (ARC). — (DA) I would merely like the President-in-Office of the Council to confirm that there is no link between the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty and the Environmental Agency.
En sådan juridisk sammenhæng vil jeg bestemt ikke postulere. Men der er medlemslande, der finder, at der er en politisk sammenhæng mellem ratifikationen og placeringen af institutionerne, og det er denne politiske sammenhæng, der indtil nu har umuliggjort den enstemmige beslutning, der skal til for at placere institutionerne.
I would remind him that a few years ago, when he was a young, 201green' minister in a former government, he played host to a visit by the Rainbow Group to Riso near Roskilde where he satisfied himself that everyone thought Roskilde was an excellent, highly suitable place to locate the EC's Environmental Agency.
Så vil jeg gerne over for hr. Bonde bekræfte, at den danske regering har den opfattelse, at Danmark ville være et helt naturligt hjemsted for Miljøagenturet.
I would ask the President-in-Office to confirm that Roskilde remains a most suitable site at which to locate the Environmental Agency.
HELVEG PETERSEN, formand for Rådet. — Rådet deler den bekymring, der kommer til udtryk i det ærede medlems spørgsmål om Det Europæiske Miljøagentur.
Given that the problem of the seat of the European environmental body has not yet been resolved, can the Council say when it intends to reach a decision on this matter and what has so far prevented it from reaching a decision and announcing the seat of this body?
Det er vigtigt, at der tages fat på både de verdensomspændende og på de europæiske miljøproblemer. Agenturets hjemsted fastsættes på et møde i Det Europæiske Råd i overensstemmelse med den afgørelse, der blev truffet i Edinburgh den 12. december 1992.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — (DA) The questioner is right in saying that there is no legal connection between the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty and the decision regarding the seat of the institutions in question, and I certainly have no intention of postulating any such link.
Formandskabet er meget vel klar over, hvor meget denne beslutning haster og vil gøre sit yderste for at nå frem til en tilfredsstillende løsning med hensyn til fastsættelse af hjemstedet for Det Europæiske Miljøagentur. Emnet var ikke til egentlig
However, there are some Member States which believe that there is a political link between ratification and the location of these institutions, and it is this political link that has so far stood in the way of the unanimous decision required for deciding on the seat of the institutions in
ERNST DE LA GRAETE (V). — (FR) Hr. rådsformand, mit spørgsmål er en spontan reaktion, og det blev i øvrigt også taget op af den taler, der gik forud for mig.
HELVEG PETERSEN, President-in-Office of the Council — (DA) The Council shares the concern expressed in the honourable Member's question with regard to the European Environmental Agency.
