Det tilføjes, at Edinburgh aftalen er forenelig med Maastricht-Traktaten og ikke sætter spørgsmålstegn ved dens målsætning. Disse for muleringer gør det klart, at Edinburghaftalen ikke strider mod hverken Maastricht-Traktaten eller andre EF-Trak-
There is the assessment that the consequences of the US/EC agreement in GATT will mean a further 4% reduction in no-quota, will deny us the opportunity of exporting beef to the Middle East and will result in the doubling of set-aside with regard to cereal growing.
HELVEG PETERSEN de debatter om betydningsfulde nye forslag eller væsentlige spørgsmål af EF-interesse.
PRESIDENT are you thinking of using to consult with the European Parliament? Also, what could be the result of this?
Dette var to tillægsspørgsmål, hr. rådsformand, men jeg er især interesseret i en kommentar til udelukkelsen af tv-kameraer fra gårsdagens rådsmøde.
In view of the contradictory statements in the resolution adopted by the Council on the Environment of 15 and 16 December 1992, could the Council provide details of the aspects and measures of the Programme which it intends to reconsider in the light of this principle as reflected in the above Council resolution?
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Efter de oplysninger, jeg har modtaget, var rådsmødet i går lukket, men åbent i dag.
Question No 7 by Mr Raffin (H-0047/93)
Det, man skal hæfte sig ved i denne debat om åbenhed, er, at Fællesskabet har taget et første vanskeligt skridt ad denne vej.
Subject: Fifth Action Programme on the environment and sustainable development
Gennemskuelighed og åbenhed i Rådet er dog ikke kun et spørgsmål om tv-transmitterede debatter.
The aim here is to promote an environmentally viable development within the Community, providing a high level of environmental protection.
Der kan nævnes to andre eksempler på konklusionerne fra Det Euro pæiske Råds samling i Edinburgh.
It is the presidency's belief that the principle of proximity as a legal principle and political guideline, will play an important role in the future work of the Community.
For det første har formandskabet forud for alle de tre rådssamlinger, der har fundet sted siden månedens begyndelse, briefet EF-pressen ved at redegøre for punkterne på dagsordenen.
We are setting the stage for a suitable delineation of duties on the part of the Community and Member States, and the principle of proximity will therefore be respected by the Community institutions in all areas of Community policy.
Der vil under dette formandskab regelmæssigt blive afholdt sådanne briefinger.
The principles underlying the procedures for this were laid down at the Edinburgh summit.
For det andet arbejdes der allerede nu på at gøre den nye udgave af »Oversigten over Rådets Virksomhed« mere interessant, forståelig og brugervenlig og på at udforme et kort resumé bestemt til den brede offentlighed.
This means that a clearly crossborder problem, like the environment, must continue to be dealt with at Community level.
Det er en del af konklusionerne fra Birmingham, at samarbejdet med de nationale parlamenter skal udvikles. Rådet kan ikke komme og påtvinge de nationale parlamenter noget.
To which aspects and measures is the Council referring, and what decisionmaking procedures will it follow to change the objectives and actors listed in the tables in the Fifth Action Programme?
BONDE (ARC). — Jeg vil gerne takke rådsformanden for et godt svar om åbenhed.
Question No 8 by Mr Alber (H-0048/93)
Så det kan altså lade sig gøre at få fremskridt ved fremførelsen af sådanne krav.
Subject: Fifth action programme for the environment and sustainable development
Et andet aspekt er adgangen til oplysninger, som er tilgængelige for institutionerne.
In this connection, sets of basic and practical criteria were established at the meeting of the European Council in Edinburgh.
I Birmingham lovede Kommissionen at fremlægge en rapport om dette spørgsmål i begyndelsen af 1993.
These should be used to supplement the useful proposals tabled by the European Parliament.
Formandskabet vil hurtigt følge dette op, så snart rapporten foreligger, og jeg tillader mig også at henvise til, at hr. Delors i morges lovede, at Kommissionen ikke bare vil fremlægge en rapport, men også forslag.
As you know, technically speaking, contact has been made, and we hope that in the near future this will lead to a complete understanding between our institutions.
Omkring spørgsmålet om åbenhed i afstemningsresultaterne vil jeg spørge, om rådsformandskabet vil administrere åbenheden således, at der også er åbenhed omkring afstemningerne i COREPER, og de protokoller, hvor man kan læse, hvad de enkelte delegationer stemte på COREPER-møderne, bliver tilgængelige for folkevalgte her og i de nationale parlamenter?
In its resolution on the fifth action programme for the environment and sustainable development, the Council of Environment Ministers on 15 and 16 December 1992 claimed that, by virtue of the principle of subsidiarity, certain aspects of environmental policy and specific measures in the programme will have to be implemented at levels other than Community level.
Jeg tror, at det ærede medlem efter det, jeg her har sagt, vil give mig ret i, at der er gjort en god begyndelse. Der vil fortsat blive arbejdet efter de retningslinjer, der blev foreslået i Edinburgh.
RAFFIN (V). — (FR) Mr President, President-in-Office, I would like to second the views expressed by Mrs Diez de Rivera regarding the relative precision of answers and questions.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Det vil jeg ikke give tilsagn om — alene af den grund, at der i COREPER ikke finder afstemninger sted.
Can the Council explain in practical terms what aspects of the policy and what specific measures in the programme will have to be implemented at levels other than Community level?
FORMANDEN. — Spørgsmål nr. 4 af Cushnahan (H0128/93):
I, too, had asked precise questions.
Om: GATT-forhandlinger
I was expecting a precise response.
Er Rådet enig i, at den nylige GATT-aftale mellem EF og USA går videre end aftalen om reformen af den fælles landbrugspolitik, og at den vil betyde yderligere nedskæringer i støtteordningerne til fordel for landbruget i Fællesskabet?
This morning, Jacques Delors, President of the Commission, told us that transparency would be one of the major elements characterizing relations between the Council and the Commission, the Council and Parliament, and the Commission and the Council.
Kan Rådet garantere, at Fællesskabet vil yde fuld kompensation for alle sådanne nedskæringer i støtteordningerne? teordningerne?
But let me take an example: If I ask you what figures are written on this table, you reply: "These are figures which will be studied for their significance in the context of subsidiarity". Anyone could make this kind of reply.
Det er op til Kommissionen at oplyse, hvad den agter at gøre, men jeg ved, at den arbejder aktivt på dette område.
Once again, the question I asked was: What were the measures?
Det danske Markedsudvalg og det engelske system med et undersøgelsesudvalg er velkendte eksempler.
Etymologically, "specific" means "something which is defined", not something that is vague.
Vi har set lignende strukturer udvikle sig i andre lande i forbindelse med ratifikationen af Maastricht-Traktaten.
And yet, I am sad to say, the precise questions put to you are rewarded with vague answers.
LALOR (RDE). — (EN) Det forbavsede mig en smule, at rådsformanden omtalte landbrugsministrenes samling som et eksempel på åbenhed, for jeg ville netop spørge ham, om han ville kommentere afvisningen af at lade debatten på mødet i Rådet af Landbrugsministre i går tv-transmittere.
HELVEG PETERSEN, President-in-Office of the Council — (DA) In the resolution adopted on 15 and 16 December 1992 by the Council of Environmental Ministers on the fifth action programme for the Community's policy and its effect on the environment, it is recognized that a whole range of aspects of environmental policy and specific events included in the programme will be carried out at levels other than Community level, which should be seen against the background of the European Council meeting in Edinburgh on 12 December 1992 at which the nature and contents of the principle of proximity were delineated.
Mener rådsformanden ikke, at dette var en direkte overtrædelse af den i Birmingham indgåede forpligtelse til at skabe større åbenhed om Fællesskabets arbejde?
In this connection it should be noted that in its resolution the Council urges the Commission to ensure that all proposals tabled in the environmental sector fully reflect the principle of proximity.
Eventuelt forholder det sig sådan, at rådsformandens svar var udarbejdet inden rådsmødet i går.
It also points out that the representatives of the Member States assembled in the Council undertook to consider every single proposal with a view to ensuring that this principle is upheld.
Rådsformanden sagde, at Rådet vil arbejde på at fremme større åbenhed, og han nævnte situationen i Folketinget, men hvilke positive skridt foreslår Rådet med henblik på at forbedre dialogen med de nationale parlamenter?
These documents will comprise the basis for negotiations on an interinstitutional agreement. These documents will complement each other and constitute an excellent foundation for such negotiations. tions.
Det nævnte dokument analyserer, hvor vidt resultaterne af landbrugsforhandlingerne med USA er forenelige med den reform af den fælles landbrugspolitik, som Rådet vedtog 22. maj 1992.
DÍEZ DE RIVERA ICAZA (S). — (ES) Mr President-in-Office, I must tell you with all due respect that you did not answer my questions, nor did you in any way clear up my doubts.
Ved den lejlighed bekræftede Kommissionen med oplysninger til støtte herfor, at de forhandlinger, den havde ført. faldt inden for rammerne af reformen af den fælles landbrugspolitik og var forenelige med
Could you at least tell me — on the basis of the transparency which the Danish presidency so earnestly defends — what are the criteria governing the application of the principle of subsidiarity and which procedure
MAHER (LDR). — (EN) Et spørgsmål til et andet aspekt ved denne aftale.
Question No 11 by Mrs Rawlings (H-0027/93/rev.) Subject: Association Agreement with Bulgaria
Som det vil være Dem bekendt, er der opstået store problemer mellem USA og Det Europæiske Fællesskab vedrørende forhandlingerne om de andre afsnit under Uruguay-Runden.
The initialling of the Association Agreement with Bulgaria on 22 December came as a welcome additional Christmas present.
Hvad vil der ske med aftalens landbrugsafsnit, hvis det ikke lykkes at nå til enighed om de andre afsnit, med andre ord hvis der ikke kan opnås enighed mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og USA?
Is the Council in a position to say when full ratification will take place?
På den følgende samling den 18. januar 1993 havde Rådet på grundlag af en indledende redegørelse fra Kommissionen en drøftelse af, hvor langt man var kommet i GATT-forhandlinger-ne, og gentog, at det går ind for en samlet og afbalanceret løsning.
We must admit that at the present time the people in Europe are very sensitive to environmental issues, and the questions being put to me are these: can you tell us quite clearly what areas of environmental concern are being given back to Member States?
Rådet har haft behandling af dette spørgsmål på samlingen i går og i dag, og jeg kan oplyse, at jeg er blevet bedt om at fortsætte med at uddybe deres analyse af problemet.
Let us be that clear and that blunt about what is being discussed in fact within the Council of Ministers to which you belong.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Det forholder sig med de forhandlinger, der er i gang under Uruguay-Runden sådan, at der skal være enighed om den totale løsning til sidst, før der også er enighed om de enkelte afsnit.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — (DA) In my opinion, as I have just stated, the question of the environment is clearly a crossborder problem and must be treated as such at Community level.
Der skal til sidst tilvejebringes en samlet, afbalanceret løsning, hvor der skal være enighed om den samlede helhed.
It is not possible to draw up concrete lists of the type suggested by the honourable Member.
Før bliver der ikke nogen aftale.
That will not be possible.
FORMANDEN. — Da spørgeren ikke er til stede, vil spørgsmål nr. 5 blive besvaret skriftligt. (')
HELVEG PETERSEN, President-in-Office of the Council— (DA) As the President told the competent bodies in Parliament on 12 January in Strasbourg in connection with the Luns-Westerterp procedure, the European Association Agreement with Bulgaria initialled on 22 December will be signed as soon as possible, when the texts have been prepared in all the Community languages.
Da følgende spørgsmål vedrører samme emne, vil vi underet behandle spørgsmål nr. 6 af Diez de Rivera Icaza (H-0046/93):
WHITE (S). — Mr President-in-Office, I think it would be much more satisfactory if you came to the House and said that you either were not going to tell us or that you did not know. But it has got to be one of those two.
Under mødeperioden i november 1992 vedtog Euro pa-Parlamentet enstemmigt og med opbakning fra de forskellige grupper betænkningen af Diez de Rivera Icaza om Kommissionens program »Mod en bære dygtig udvikling«.
As the honourable Member knows, it is not just the European Parliament that must give its assent to this mixed agreement in accordance with Article 238 of the EEC Treaty, but the agreement must also be ratified by the parliaments of the Twelve as well as by the Bulgarian Parliament.
CUSHNAHAN (PPE). — (EN) Jeg noterer mig rådsformandens udtalelser, men jeg føler mig ikke beroliget af det, han sagde.
You refer to the European Parliament resolution — which I assume is the one which was passed last month which I had a hand in preparing.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Jeg kan meddele det ærede medlem, at analysen af dette spørgsmål endnu ikke er færdiggjort, arbejdet er stadig væk under udførelse.
As is the case for the Visegrad countries, this interim agreement will open up the possibility of a more rapid implementation of the provisions on trade in the Euro pean agreement before ratification.
Kan Rådet på baggrund af det selvmodsigende indhold i udtalelsen fra Rådet (miljø) af 15.-16. december 1992 give detaljerede oplysninger om, hvilke aspekter og for anstaltninger i det nævnte program det agter at genbehandle i lyset af subsidiaritetsprincippet som udtrykt i ovennævnte resolution?
But I now have to point out that the contents of my answer here closely correspond to the conclusions from Edinburgh and perfectly reflect those conclusions. The answer is that the environment is a crossborder problem, which is to be treated at Community level.
Spørgsmål nr. 7 af hr. Raffin (H-0047/93):
Moreover, I must refer you to my previous answer.
Rådet (miljø) fastslog den 15. og 16. december 1992 i sin resolution om det femte program for Fælles skabets politik og handling i forbindelse med miljøet og bæredygtig udvikling, at visse sider af miljøpolitikken og nogle af de specifikke foranstaltninger i programmet i henhold til subsidiaritetsprincippet skulle gennemføres af andre instanser end EF.
RAWLINGS (PPE). — I thank the President-in-Office for his reply, but what reassurance can the Council give this Parliament that with the association agreement ratified the European Community will not pass eastwards any US trade sanctions and that Romania and Bulgaria will not be regarded as second division associates some way behind the Visegrad three?
LANE (RDE). — (EN) Jeg komplimenterer hr. Cushnahan for ordret at have gentaget et spørgsmål, som jeg stillede i mødeperioden i januar.
I cannot answer the second question, on the relationship with American policy on trade — as I understood it.
Jeg er imidlertid ikke tilfreds med svaret, for jeg står her med en ordret gengivelse af Rådets svar på mit spørgsmål i januar.
I cannot see how it is of any great significance for the association agreement with Bulgaria.
Af dette svar fremgår det, at Rådet den 18. januar anmodede Specialkomiteen for Landbrug om at arbejde videre med analysen af, hvorvidt landbrugsreformen var forenelig med GATT-forhandlingerne.
BJØRNVIG (ARC). — (DA) I would like to ask the President-in-Office of the Council, who mentioned that environmental aspects should be considered in all circumstances: why has the Council come round to the Commission's proposal that VAT should be charged on passenger transport which is certainly not in the interest of the environment, since we know that pollution caused by cars is among the worst there is?
Rådet har afgivet et højtideligt tilsagn om, at GATT-forhandlingerne ikke ville indvirke på reformen af den fælles landbrugsordning, og hvis tallene ikke holder, er Rådet forpligtet til straks at fremlægge de rigtige tal.
Does the President-in-Office of the Council think that an issue such as VAT imposed on passenger transport falls within the principle of subsidiarity and that it is something that the individual Member States can decide themselves?
Hvorfor er Rådet ikke i stand til at redegøre for, hvad der skete i går med hensyn til rapporten fra Specialkomiteen for Land bmg?
PRESIDENT. — As they deal with the same subjects, the following questions will be taken together:
Spørgsmål nr. 8 af hr. Alber (H-0048/93):
Question No 12 by Mrs Garcia Arias (H-0042/93) Subject: Spanish steel industry
På samlingen i Rådet (miljø) den 15.-16. december 1992 erklærede Rådet i sin resolution om det femte handlingsprogram om miljø og bæredygtig udvik-
PRESIDENT. — As the authors are not present, Questions Nos 9 and 10 will be answered in writing. (')
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Som det ærede medlem ved, er der tale om et vanskeligt spørgsmål, og der er ingen modsætning mellem det svar, der blev givet 18. januar, og det svar, der bliver givet i dag. Det forholder sig ganske enkelt sådan, at man ikke er færdig med de undersøgelser, som er i gang, og derfor er der ikke nogen modsætning mellem svarene.
Is the Council considering treating the Plan for the Spanish Integrated Steel Industry in the same fair and balanced way that it treated the restructuration of the Italian iron and steel industry in 1989, while taking account of the regional development difficulties being suffered by Asturias and the Basque country?
"Spørgetid"
Time"
RAFFIN (V). — (FR) Jeg tilslutter mig fru Diez de Riveras krav om, at der afgives præcise svar på præcise spørgsmål.
Subject: Industrial Affairs Council (conversion of the steel industry)
ling, at visse aspekter af den politik og de særforan­staltninger, som programmet »Mod en bæredygtig udvikling« giver anledning til, i overensstemmelse med susidiaritetsprincippet vil foregå på andre niveauer end dem, hvor Fællesskabet har kompeten­ce.
On 25 February the Council of Ministers for Indus trial Affairs will meet to consider the situation of the steel industry in the EC.
Også jeg har stillet Dem nogle præcise spørgsmål, og jeg forventede et præcist svar.
So far as Spain is concerned, has the CSI (the coordinating body for the Spanish steel industry) drawn up and submitted to the EC its new plan for the conversion of the steel industry?
Jeg er forbavset over svarenes ordrige og udflydende karakter, eftersom Danmark ved sin overtagelse af formandskabet erklærede, at miljøet ville være en af dets prioriteter.
What changes does it propose by comparison with the plan previously rejected?
Endnu en gang skal jeg gentage, at det stillede spørgsmål lød: Hvilke foranstaltninger er der tale om?
Can the Council say whether it knows the applicable criteria for setting the relationship between public aid and the reduction of capacity within the context of the new crisis?
De brugte ordet »specifik«.
How will these criteria be established in the case of Spain, given the new context?
Etymologisk set betyder »specifik« »noget der er bestemt og afgrænset« og ikke noget, der er vagt og udflydende.
Will the Council take account of the fact that the Spanish market has opened up to the European market since its accession to the Euro pean Community?
Jeg må imidlertid med beklagelse konstatere, at De på præcise spørgsmål giver vage og udflydende svar.
Will it take account of the fact that this is an important market for the Community and will it take account of the sacrifices which are already being made not only in the steel sector but also in other sectors, such as the coal sector in Asturias, where along with the thousands of jobs already lost, there will be others lost because of the planned restructuring?
Det skal i den forbindelse noteres, at Rådet i sin resolution opfordrer Kommissionen til at sikre, at alle de forslag, den fremsætter på miljøområdet fuldt ud afspejler nærhedsprincippet, ligesom det henvi­ser til, at repræsentanterne for medlemsstaterne forsamlet i Rådet har forpligtet sig til at overveje hvert enkelt forslag med henblik på at sikre, at dette princip overhol­des.
In view of the Danish presidency's undertaking to implement the principle of transparency laid down in Edinburgh, would this not be a good opportunity to take it further by opening the meeting on 25 February to the public, given the importance of the subject?
Som basis for forhandlingerne om den interinstitu­tionelle aftale er der både Edinburgh­aftalen og beslut­ningen om subsidiaritet vedtaget af Europa­Parlamentet.
The Council has also been accommodating on various occasions with respect to its treatment of the problems in the Spanish steel sector.
Det er disse dokumenter, der danner basis for forhandlin­gerne om en interinstitutionel aftale. Disse dokumenter kompletterer hinanden og danner et udmærket grundlag for sådanne forhandlinger.
But the Council has not yet received formal proposals from the Commission, and I am therefore not in a position to reveal which criteria there might be in such Commission proposals.
DÍEZ DE RIVERA ICAZA (S). — (ES) Hr. rådsformand, jeg må i al venskabelighed meddele Dem, at De klart nok ikke har besvaret mine spørgsmål og lige så lidt afklaret min tvivl på visse områder.
HELVEG PETERSEN, President-in-Office of the Council — (DA) In answering the honourable Member's question, I would first like to underline that the Council is extremely well aware of the social, economic and region al problems facing Spain.
Kunne De i det mindste, hr. rådsformand, på grundlag af det åbenhedsprincip, som det danske formandskab agter at forsvare med stor ildhu, præcisere hvilke kriterier der vil blive lagt til grund for anvendelsen af nærhedsprincippet, og hvilke fremgangs­måder De agter at tage i anvendelse for at sikre, at Parlamentet konsulteres?
The Council is also aware that the problem within the Spanish iron and steel industry cannot be separated from the serious problems thrown up by the iron and steel industry within the Community as a whole.
MORRIS (S). — (EN) I stedet for en akademisk diskus­sion vil jeg gerne have en virkelighedsnær deabt om dette spørgsmål.
LANDA MENDIBE (NI). — (ES) Mr President-in-Office, you have just said that the problems in the Spanish steel industry cannot be separated from the overall problems of the Community steel industry.
Så klart og ligefremt et svar ønsker vi på spørgsmålet om, hvad der rent faktisk drøftes i Ministerrådet, som De er medlem af.
Well, I cannot but be surprised that both the Council and the Commission continue to regard the Spanish steel industry as a special case, stressing the need for it to take specific measures.
HELVEG PETERSEN. — Efter min opfattelse er, som jeg netop har sagt, miljøspørgsmål klart et grænseover­skridende problem, og det må behandles som sådant på fællesskabsplan.
Why, for example, in making use of the powers granted for this purpose in Article 58 of the ECSC Treaty, has there not been a declaration of a clear crisis in the European steel sector, and why have measures not been taken for regulating and equitably distributing steel production throughout the Community?
Det er ikke muligt at opstille konkrete lister af den type, som det ærede medlem lægger op til.
Why is there this almost exclusive insistence on the Spanish steel industry?
