Traktaten om oprettelse af den første økonomiske sammenslutning af vesteuropæiske lande efter Anden Verdenskrig, Kul- og Stålunionen, udløber om ti år.
It was this last option, the most practical of the three, which was finally favoured by the Commission and approved by the ECSC Consultative Committee.
Derfor må vi nu overveje EKSF's fremtid og udvikle en plan for, hvordan Kul- og Stålunionens sektoriale politik bliver inkorporeret i den store ramme for en Økonomisk og Monetær Union efter Maastricht.
A decision of principle must be reached relatively quickly, as the ten years between now and the expiry of the ECSC Treaty is a not a great deal of time in which to achieve the full incorporation of ECSC activities into the EEC Treaty, according to a specific timetable.
Isler Béguin (V). — (FR) Hr. formand, De Grønne er stort set enige i hr. Pastys retningslinjer for EKSF-Traktatens fremtid, særlig for så vidt angår de forslag, der vedrører tidsplanen og Traktatens udløb, og de foranstaltninger, der ved dens udløb skal anvendes til at tilrettelægge bestemmelserne i forbindelse med de aktiviteter, det forekommer nyt tigt eller sågar nødvendigt at fortsætte.
As for the borrowing and lending operations which are unique to the ECSC and have no equivalent within the framework of the EEC Treaty, the Committee on Budgets proposes that they should be transferred to the European Investment Bank — without, however, excluding the possibility of Community budget intervention in the form of loan guarantees or interest rebates, should the need arise.
Frem til, men også efter denne Traktats udløb bør der i særlig grad lægges vægt på miljøbeskyttelse i bred forstand, navnlig for så vidt angår genopbygning af de forsømte industriområder og maksimal bekæmpelse af forurening inden for alle produktionsformer, hvilket forudsætter fremme af de mest konkurrencedygtige teknologier, særlig dem, der gør det muligt at sænke energiforbruget.
In view of the substantial budgetary and financial problems connected with ECSC activities — and I would remind the House that the ECSC has an operating budget which is distinct from the general budget and which is resourced from a Community tax, the levy on coal and steel production — the ECSC is allowed autonomy in its lending and borrowing operations. It possesses consider able financial reserves — currently amounting to some ECU 730 million — which serve to guarantee loans contracted on the financial markets.
Hvad de stillede ændringsforslag angår, kan vi ikke tilslutte os, at der efter EKSF-Traktaten oprettes en fond, der skal overtage visse af disse aktiviteter, i øvrigt ligegyldigt hvilket hæderværdigt navn man giver denne fond. Det virker fuldkommen irrelevant. vant.
The special situation of the ECSC led the Committee on Budgets to request authorization — which was granted by the Bureau — to set up a working party from among its members and to draw up the own-initiative report which I have the honour of presenting to the House today.
Hr. Pasty har gjort dette med sin betænkning, og også Kommissionen har gjort sig overvejelser og sidste år fremsat en meddelelse, der rummer den overordnede politiske valgmulighed at begunstige, at EKSF-Traktaten udløber før det fastsatte tidspunkt.
The ECSC resources derived from the levy and from financial yields which serve to guarantee loans con tracted on the capital markets should continue to perform this function in respect of all outstanding loans.
Ordføreren anfører yderligere to valgmuligheder: For det første at man bevarer særregler for kul- og stålsektoren, dvs. praktisk taget en forlængelse af Traktaten ud over år 2002, hvilket forudsætter enstemmig afgørelse fra medlemsstaternes side; for det andet at Traktaten opsiges før tid og integreres i den almindelige EØF-Traktat.
However, the flexibility in the management of funds permitted by the present level of reserves and the current state of the ratios should allow these reserves to be used, at least in part, to balance the operating budget if necessary — in other words, if additional financial needs other than those previously allowed for become apparent.
I grundige drøftelser, ikke mindst i en arbejdsgruppe under Parlamentet, synes der at udvikle sig politisk enighed til fordel for den første valgmulighed, dvs. Traktatens udløb i år 2002.
I should like to thank the members of the working party, and the draftsmen of the opinions of the other committees that were consulted, for the valuable contributions which they have all made to the preparation of this joint position.
Ordføreren fremhæver, at EKSF-aktiviteterne ved en sådan afgørelse grad vist ville kunne inkorporeres budgetmæssigt i de forskellige fonde og programmer under det almindelige budget. Dette er givetvis muligt for forsknings aktiviteterne, miljøpolitikken og i begrænset omfang for sociale omstruktureringer.
In conclusion, the Committee on Budgets calls on the Commission to clarify its position with regard to the future of the ECSC by drawing up practical proposals for the incorporation of ECSC activities into the general framework of Community activities, in accordance with a specific timetable, allowing the ECSC Treaty to expire in 2002 without a break in continuity.
Den løsning, der går ud på at overføre dette område til EIB, opnåede kun et knebent flertal i Budgetudvalget.
This is the substance, ladies and gentlemen, of the resolution adopted by the Committee on Budgets, which I would now ask the House to support.
På min gruppes vegne nævner jeg endnu en gang på plenarmødet vores forslag om, at der for EKSF-reserverne — i år 2002 trods alt rundt regnet 1,1 mia. ECU — oprettes en stiftelse, der bærer traktatgrundlæggeren Robert Schumans navn, i hvilken forbindelse vi medregner en tilpasset tilbage førsel af den årlige afgiftssats.
Firstly, there was unanimous agreement that the ECSC should be congratulated on the decisive role that it has played in the process of European integration, and that its major achievements in the social field and in terms of aiding the restructuring of the coal and steel sectors should be recognized.
Efter vores forslag ville stiftelsesformuen, der skal investeres i fast ejendom, årligt indbringe ca. 100 mio. ECU i renter, hvormed stiftelsens arbejde ville blive finansieret.
At the same time, the ECSC has made a significant contribution to the redevelopment of regions of the Community that have been hit hard by the restructuring of the coal and steel sectors.
Blak (S). — Hr. formand, som socialist kan jeg varmt tilslutte mig betænkningen, og jeg lykønsker ordføreren, hr. Pasty.
ALEXANDRE (S), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Regional Policy, Regional Planning and Relations with Regional and Local Authorities. — (FR) Mr President, the Committee on Regional Policy, Regional Planning and Relations with Regional and Local Authorities, which was requested to deliver an opinion for Mr Pasty's report, would like to stress the following points.
Kul- og Stålunionen har gen nem tiden givet vigtig støtte ikke kun til kul- og stålindustrien selv, men også til arbejdere og tidligere arbejdere i disse industrier i en årrække med kæmpe omstruktureringer og tilpasninger.
The Committee on Budgets expresses the wish that actions hitherto carried out within the framework of the ECSC operating budget should be continued, and calls for their gradual incorporation into the general budget.
Dette arbejde er langt fra færdigt, og jeg er derfor glad for, at denne betænkning anerkender behovet for at fortsætte Kul- og Stål-Traktatens opgaver frem til, og også efter at Traktaten udløber i år 2002.
Social measures and aid for regional conversion should be incorporated into the Structural Funds — the Regional Development Fund and the Social Fund — when the planned reform of the intervention mechanisms of these funds is carried out.
Kul- og stålindustrien, og dem der arbejder i den, har stadig behov for ressourcer i forbindelse med omlægninger og teknologisk udvikling.
If necessary, specific Community programmes for the coal and steel sectors should be set up.
Det er industripolitik og langt mere fremsynet end at diskutere virksomhedsbeskatningsniveau eller spekulationsmuligheder. Derfor må man fastholde Kul- og Stålunionens muligheder for at give lån.
Firstly, the expiry of the ECSC Treaty and the gradual reduction of the aid measures financed under the ECSC budget will leave a gap in the system of aid to the regions concerned.
Mange virksomheder er blevet styret igennem omstruktureringer, og det har skabt mange job i områder, der ellers har været hårdt ramt af nedgangen i de traditionelle stål- og kulsektorer.
In terms of regional development measures, this gap must be filled, as a matter of urgency, by aid under ERDF Objective 2 — or, where appropriate, Objectives 1 and 5b — and Community programmes such as RECHAR.
Når området lægges ind under EØF-Traktaten må det sikres, at dets aktivitetsområde udvides til at gælde alle hårdt belastede områder, f.eks. grænseområder hvor omstillingen er nødvendig.
ECSC environmental protection measures — which are still largely at an embryonic stage — should be incorporated into the LIFE programme and possibly stepped up.
Men jeg har også en ide om, at kul- og stålformuen kan bruges til at købe de ejendomme, som vi i øjeblikket lejer os ind i i EF.
Research activities specific to the coal and steel sector
Det er kortsigtet, at man lader sig udnytte og udplyndre af de udlejere, som i øjeblikket sørger for, at lejerne stiger helt urimeligt.
Secondly, Mr President, with regard to the environment and employment, it should be pointed out that although
Blak den europæiske industris konkurrenceevne, at skatteniveauet reduceres, efterhånden som overførslerne af ansvaret til EØF-Traktaten finder sted.
ALEXANDRE the regions concerned have benefited from ECSC aid, both their landscapes and their economies are still scarred by a number of flaws and disparities which must be put right.
Men da vi ikke har kendskab til, hvilke aspekter der ønskes bevaret, vil vi gerne have oplyst, hvad der skal ske med budgettet.
Between now and the expiry of the treaty, and also beyond its expiry, emphasis should be placed above all on environmental protection in general, and especially on rehabilitating disused industrial sites and reducing pollution as far as possible at all stages of production.
Og i modsætning til, hvad der er foreslået af PPE-Gruppen, mener vi, at dette bør integreres i EØF-Traktaten.
The latter implies the promotion of more efficient technologies, particularly those which enable energy consumption to be reduced.
Og vi mener ligeledes, at udvindingen gradvis skal nedsættes, da den er diskriminatorisk over for importen, medmindre det accepteres at pålægge en ensartet afgift på stål- og kulprodukter, der forbruges i Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
With regard to the amendments tabled, we are not in favour of the creation, following the expiry of the ECSC Treaty, of a foundation whose purpose is to take over certain of these activities — whatever illustrious name might be given to this institution.
EKSF-udgifterne bør således ikke nedskæres, eftersom behovet er til stede.
That would be com pletely inappropriate.
Langes (PPE). — (DE) — Hr. formand, kære kolleger! Jeg har forelagt idéen om stiftelsen for min gruppe, og jeg forstår overhovedet ikke min kollega fra De Grønne i Europa-Parlamentet, når hun hævder, at en stiftelse i mindre grad skulle være til at kontrollere end storbanken, Den Europæiske Investeringsbank, der så skulle forvalte denne formue.
THEATO (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the treaty establishing the first form of economic integration among the countries of Western Europe after the Second World War, the Coal and Steel Com munity, expires ten years from now, as is laid down in Article 97 of the ECSC Treaty.
Hr. formand, jeg mener ikke, at stål- og kulsektoren kan siges at være sektorer uden fremtid i Fællesskabet.
Mr Pasty's report serves this purpose, and the Commission also considered the matter and submitted a paper last year.
De teknologiske aspekter i kul- og stålsektoren udgør efter min mening to vigtige dele af industrien i Det Europæiske Fællesskab, og vi bør fortsat insistere på forsknings- og udviklingsaspekterne og på demonstrationsprogrammerne i disse to sektorer.
It opted in favour of allowing the ECSC Treaty to expire on the scheduled date. The rapporteur has men tioned two further options: firstly, maintaining specific rules for the coal and steel sectors, which virtually means an extension of the treaty's validity beyond 2002 and would necessitate a unanimous decision by all the Member States; and secondly, premature termination of the treaty and absorption of the two sectors into the general EEC Treaty.
Fællesskabets mineudvindingsindustri er konkurrencedygtig på internationalt plan.
Following intensive discussions, not least in our parliamentary working party, a consensus seems to be emerging around the first option, in other words allowing the treaty to expire in 2002.
Jeg tænker på de af udvindingen afhængige virksomheder, og det samme kan siges vedrørende betydningen af den metalforarbejdende sektor.
The rapporteur has pointed out that a decision on these lines could allow for ECSC activities gradually to be incorporated into the financing of the various funds and programmes under the general budget.
Det Europæiske Fællesskabs industripolitik bør fortsat betragte disse to sektorer som vigtige for fremtiden.
This is no doubt possible in the case of research work, environment policy and, to some extent, social conversion measures.
Jeg opfordrer således mine socialistiske og venstreorienterede kolleger til i aften at stemme for vores forslag. Det er en fornuftig, en god idé.
The most awkward question arises over the ECSC's reserves, the bulk of which have been obtained from the industry — in other words separately, by means of the levy rate — and also with respect to borrowing and lending operations.
Schmidhuber, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer!
BLAK (S). — (DA) Mr President, as a socialist I am pleased to support this report and I congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Pasty.
EKSF-Traktaten gælder kun for yderligere ti år.
Over the years, the Coal and Steel Community has provided much-needed support not only for the coal and steel industries as such, but also for workers and former workers in those industries through out the long years of restructuring and adjustment.
Det er derfor ikke for tidligt at tænke over EKSF's fremtid.
The coal and steel industries and those who work in them require continued funding because of reorganization and technological development.
Kommissionen bifalder meget, at Europa-Parlamentet har indledt denne debat.
That is why we must retain the Coal and Steel Community's capacity to provide loans.
I mellemtiden har også stålindustrien opfanget denne idé og mener nu sågar, at det er den, der har opfundet den.
This has steered many companies through restructuring and has created many jobs in areas that were badly affected by the decline in the traditional coal and steel sectors.
Jeg bifalder selvfølgelig enhver, der støtter vores initiativ, men anser det på den anden side for en smule mærkværdigt, om end tydeligvis ikke så usædvanligt, at man smykker sig med lånte fjer.
If this sector is incorporated into the EEC Treaty, we must ensure that its field of application is extended to include all badly affected areas, such as border areas where conversion is required.
Jeg beder Dem således stemme for Pastybetænkningen, som er særdeles god, med de af vores gruppe foreslåede ændringer.
But I also have an idea that coal and steel assets could be used to buy the property we currently rent in the Community.
Kommissionen har i sin meddelelse fra marts 1991 om EKSF-Traktatens fremtid foreslået en politisk orientering.
In the Committee on Budgets, only a narrow majority was in favour of transferring this sector to the EIB.
EKSF-Traktaten skal i sin nuværende form udløbe i år 2002. Det tilpasningspotentiale, der ligger i Traktaten, skal anvendes til at tilpasse den mest muligt til den nuværende situation i de to EKSF-sektorer for at forberede den gradvise over førsel af disse sektorer til EØF-Traktaten.
On behalf of my group, I would once again put forward our proposal of using the ECSC's remaining reserves — which will amount to a substantial ECU 1.1 billion by the year 2002 — to establish a foundation named after Robert Schuman, the founding father of the treaty.
Garcia Arias (S). — (ES) Indledningsvis støtter og takker jeg ordføreren for indholdet i hans betænkning samt for den fremgangsmåde med høring af de forskellige sektorer, han lod gennemføre i arbejds gruppen.
Under our proposal, the foundation's capital would be a fixed amount and would earn approximately ECU 100 million per year in interest.
Vi er alle enige i, at Traktaten skal udløbe; men vi er ligeledes alle klare over, at omstruktureringen af de virksomheder og regioner, der berøres af omlægningen af kul- og stålsektoren, vil vare endnu 15-20 år.
This sum would finance the work of the foundation, including in particular projects related to the social and environmental sectors, as have successfully been undertaken until now by the ECSC.
Dette gælder både for så vidt angår sociale omskolingsforanstaltninger og miljømæssig sanering af jern- og stålproduktionsområderne og mineområderne. derne.
A flexible body of this type would take due account of previous ECSC policies, and we would ask you to support it.
Også Kommissionen har alle rede beskæftiget sig indgående med disse spørgsmål.
Workers, industry and parliamentarians are all represented in a foundation.
Imidlertid har den endnu ikke draget konklusioner, den kan forelægge for Rådet og Parlamentet.
We would be able to carry out further socially and environmentally useful work.
Løsningen af disse spørgsmål er på den anden side betinget af,
I really cannot understand why my socialist and other left-wing colleagues are unable to give their back ing to this idea.
På indeværende tidspunkt kender vi endnu ikke Kommissionens planer for, hvad der skal ske med de positive aspekter i EKSF-Traktaten og med dens budget.
ISLER BEGUIN (V). — (FR) Mr President, the Green Group broadly approves Mr Pasty's recommendations
Schmidhuber hvordan EKSF-afgifterne fremover skal udformes, og hvad der skal ske med EKSF-reserverne.
ECSC, and the Commission is very pleased that the European Parliament has started to discuss the matter.
EKSF-aktiviteternes videre fremtid rejser en række grundlæggende økonomipolitiske og socialpolitiske spørgsmål.
In its communication of March 1991 on the future of the ECSC Treaty, the Commission proposed a policy approach: the treaty in its present form should expire in the year 2002.
Det er en uhyre stor fare for vores demokrati, for den fri meningsdannelse i Europa.
The steel industry has now taken this idea on board and is even claiming to have invented it.
Vi kan ikke stå og se på denne udvikling uden at gøre noget.
I would therefore ask you to vote in favour of this excellent Pasty report, with the features added by our group.
Det er ikke en privatsag for forlæggere eller journalister.
These recommendations met with broad agreement.
Det kræves af os europæere!
The Commission too has already considered these matters in some detail.
Allerede for længe siden sagde Kommissionen, at den gældende konkurrencelovgivning ikke i ønsket omfang omfatter denne medieretlige del.
GARCIA ARIAS (S). — (ES) First of all, Mr President, I should like to express my support for the rapporteur and congratulate him both on his report and on the way in which, as a member of the working party, he consulted with the various parties concerned.
Det kan den heller ikke, til det formål har vi brug for en særlig medielovgivning.
We are all agreed that the ECSC Treaty should expire as scheduled.
I den forbindelse går vi ud fra, at nærhedsprincippet gælder, dvs. vi regulerer dét nationalt, som bedst lader sig regulere nationalt, og resten regulerer vi så — hvis det er gunstigere og mere effektivt — europæisk.
We believe that the positive aspects of the ECSC Treaty should be incorporated into the EEC Treaty, bearing in mind that restructuring measures will continue to be needed in the regions concerned for another 15 to 20 years.
For det første må vi gå ud fra, at sektorerne kul og stål også efter år 2002 må modtage en særskilt støtte.
Firstly, we can assume that the coal and steel sectors will still need to receive special subsidies after the year 2002.
For det andet: Er det Fællesskabets opgave at påtage sig en sådan støtte, eller kan en sådan sektorspecifik støtte ikke være overladt medlemsstaterne?
Secondly, is it the task of the European Community to provide these, or can subsidies for specific sectors be left up to the Member States?
For det tredje: Nærhedsprincippet, som nu er optaget i Traktaten, giver anledning til eftertanke, især fordi der ikke længere er grund til, at disse to sektorer har en europolitisk særstilling.
Thirdly, the principle of subsidiarity, now incorporated in the Treaty, gives us cause to reflect, especially as the reasons for granting special status to these two sectors at European level no longer exist.
For det fjerde: Kan eller må kul og stål efter år 2002 stadig modtage sektorspecifik støtte fra EF-budgettet?
Fourthly, could or should Community budget support be given to coal and steel on a sector-specific basis after the year 2002?
Ville det ikke være en uforsvarlig begunstigelse af kul- og stålindustrien, hvis den sektorspecifikke støtte, der hidtil er blevet finansieret via afgifterne, fremover skulle finansieres over det samlede budget?
Would we not be giving an unacceptable advantage to the coal and steel industry if sectoral aid, which has thus far been paid for by means of the levy, were in future to be financed out of the general budget?
Vi er i vores betænkning gået ud fra to linjer.
The vote will take place at 6.30 p.m.
For det første skal koncentrationen gøres gennemsigtig.
In contrast to the proposals of our colleagues in the EPP Group, we believe that the ECSC budget should be incorporated into the EEC budget.
Vi kræver således, at der skabes et europæisk medieråd, som har til opgave at tegne et billede af medieudviklingen i Europa, udarbejde en rapport hvert andet år og danne grundlag for eventuelt nødvendige fællesskabsforanstaltninger.
We also believe that the levy, which favours imports, should be progressively reduced, unless the same measure is applied to all coal and steel products consumed within the Community.
Afstemningen finder sted i dag kl. 18.30.
ECSC expenditure covers many needs and should not, therefore, be reduced.
For det andet opfordrer vi Kommissionen til at fremsætte et direktivforslag om forbud mod koncentration, som dels harmoniserer de nationale beskyttelsesregler på et muligst højt niveau og dels sørger for, at der til grund for fusion på EF-plan ligger kriterier, der tillader os at sige: Her må vi skride ind, men dét kan vi acceptere — dvs. to instrumenter, der vedrører koncentration.
Mr President, I believe that the Community coal and steel sectors have a future. I believe that coal and steel technology represents an important asset for Community industry, and that we should continue to stress the importance of research and development and demonstration programmes in these two sectors.

A3-0153/92), by Mr Fayot and Mr Schinzel, drawn up on behalf of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media, on media concentration and diversity of opinion.
På den anden side vil vi nå frem til, at journalister nes uafhængighed bliver sikret i forbindelse med koncentration.
The Community mining industry — and in particular those undertakings dependent on extraction — is competitive in international terms.
Schinzel (S), ordfører. — (DE) — Hr. formand, kære kolleger!
The same could be said of the Community iron and steel industry.
Jeg vil begynde med et lidt ændret citat fra den berømte østrigske forfatter Karl Kraus: I begyndelsen var medierne, derpå skabte Gud ver den.
I believe that the Community should continue to view these two sectors as ones whilch are important for the future.
