Jeg vil nok en gang gentage, at for eksempel i mit land er Højesteret igen gået til Den Europæiske Domstol for at anmode om at få en nærmere redegørelse for den skattediskrimination, der i øjeblikket synes at eksistere, når det drejer sig om skattetillæg for nederlændere, der bor i udlandet og arbejder i Nederlandene.
However, I am pleased with the progress which can be detected in the approval of this Directive, and I hope that this will put an end to the abuses which have been detected.
Efter min opfattelse må vi ikke lade det komme så vidt, at vi lader Den Europæiske Domstol lovgive for os i en række sager. Det skal vi selv gøre, og derfor beder jeg også hr. Flynn om hurtigt efter disse seks måneder at fremlægge sin ordning.
I must admit that there has been a positive contribution by the new Portuguese Government to the approval of this Directive but I hope that it will be followed up by effective measures for reinforcing economic and social cohesion, in order to put an end to unemployment at source, so that there should be no need for such postings of workers.
Hvad angår spørgsmålet om pensionstillæg, er jeg ikke enig med hr. Thomas Mann. Han er ikke autoriseret talsmand for Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe.
Randzio-PIath (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, the Hamburg harbour services companies have been in the headlines in recent weeks because of the Hamburg tugboat war, in which Hamburg workers had to compete with the employ ees of a Dutch company who would work 150 hours' overtime a month for 30 % lower wages.
Formanden. - Jeg har modtaget fem beslutningsforslag ('), fremsat i overensstemmelse med artikel 37, stk. 2, i forretningsordenen.
I think that supplementary pensions are an extremely important issue, and I am very pleased that the highlevel group has been set up.
Wolf (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, arbejdstagere er åbenbart dog noget særligt.
We have seen from our discussions here just how complicated this whole question is, and how important.
Dette Europa er stadig ikke deres, og de er jo ikke en hvilken som helst vare, som man, når man har brugt den, ganske enkelt kan stille væk, blive af med eller smide ud, de er derimod mennesker, som har rettigheder, nemlig umistelige menneskerettigheder.
In the Netherlands, it took 15 years to find a solution to the problem of supplementary pensions, which are very popular in our country.
På det indre marked var disse ikke fastsat.
The question of the older pensions has yet to be sorted out.
Det var en medfødt skavank ved det indre marked at fastsætte fri bevægelighed uden at garantere rettighederne.
I am very Europeanminded, and I think it is up to us to do something about this. Let me ask you, Commissioner, would this not be an issue for the social protocol?
Hr. kommissær, i Deres redegørelse i dag antydede De, at Kommissionen nu, mange år efter det indre markeds ikrafttræden, i en langtrukken kamp med Rådet efterhånden bliver i stand til også rent faktisk at gennemføre visse minimale bestemmelser, som garanterer arbejdstagernes rettigheder. Det glæder vi os over.
After all, the whole question of social security is rather more clearly defined in the social protocol than elsewhere, and it would provide an opportunity to involve the social partners, who also have a very important role to play here.
Jeg vil alligevel gerne stille dette retoriske spørgsmål: Hvad forestiller medlemsstatemes regeringer sig egentlig, når de på denne måde forhaler løsningen af så simple og grundlæggende juridiske spørgsmål i forbindelse med arbejdstagerne?
I think that when we come to discuss this issue, we really should think seriously about the social protocol, particularly since the situation in the United Kingdom is rather different.
Vi har forstået, hr. kommissær, at De er meget skuffet over, at dette forslag lige har holdt flyttedag til køleskabet, også selv om dette køleskab kan kaldes »high level«-gruppen under Simone Veils ledelse.
Commissioner, I sincerely hope that the Italian presidency, the Commission and Parliament will finally succeed in introducing a European directive which puts a stop to wage and social dumping.
Omendskønt det jo i dette tilfælde drejer sig om supplerende pensionsordninger.
This can affect any sector at any time, so if all the workers in the European Union are to be protected, no sector can afford to be excluded.
Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, også jeg vil hilse hr. Flynns redegørelse velkommen. Jeg tror, at vi med hensyn til virksomhedsflytning på denne måde kan nå frem til en løsning, der kan accepteres af os alle.
Barros Moura (PSE). - (PT) Mr President, this is not the first time that we have discussed this point but I should like to say that I am happy, following what was said by the Commissioner, with the prospect which has been an nounced to us that the issue of the posting of workers might be the object of an agreement in the Council of Ministers, possibly even during the Italian presidency.
Men jeg er nok også ret bange for, at Kommissionen ved at lette overførslen vil komme til at begunstige de supplerende pensioner i forhold til de lov fæstede pensionsordninger, der efter min opfattelse jo stadig er den vigtigste solidariske indkomstforsikring for ældre mennesker.
This is an extremely difficult dossier and a dossier whose solution I would like to see linked to the complete enshrinement and respect of the principle of equal treat ment, which is one of the basic rules of the freedom of circulation of workers.
Jeg vil derfor gerne spørge kommissæren: hvor mange mennesker kommer rent faktisk i betragtning ved en sådan overførsel af supplerende pensioner, og er kommissæren klar over, at der alligevel stadig forekommer en hel mængde uklarheder, også inden for rammerne af det forslag, som Kommissionen har fremsat, for eksempel i forbindelse med ventetider eller den såkaldte prøvetid, der trods alt er temmelig divergerende.
Just because firms enjoy freedom of establishment in the Member States, imported pay structures and working conditions must not be allowed to squeeze out local firms and drive people out of work, for which they blame Europe. Firms must compete on equal terms, and in the interests of fair competition we must have the rule that with all local services, whether in construction, at thè docks or elsewhere, workers are paid according to local rates and work under local conditions.
Jeg tror, at det er meget vigtigt, at der kommer tydelige og klare bestemmelser.
This is what it is about: neutralising fraud!
Og at der, når der er tale om undtagelser, for sådanne indeholder forslaget tydeligt nok også, så må disse ikke kunne fortolkes på to måder.
But we must be able to deal with situations of general provision of services in the framework of the same Community freedom and I think that the principle of equal treatment will not be applied nor will it have the raison d'être in that we are not dealing with a fraudulent situation.
Jeg glæder mig specielt meget over, hvad hr. Flynn har sagt om pensionsspørgsmålet.
I want particularly to thank you, Mr Kerr, for your very generous remarks on this matter; and also Mr Schiedermeier.
Det var vor gruppe, der havde bedt ham om at give denne redegørelse, fordi vi var særlig urolige over Financial Times' artikel om diskussionens forløb i Kommissionen.
It is reassuring for the Commission to recognize that there is that level of cooperation between the Commission and Parliament on this particularly difficult and sensitive matter.
Jeg er nødt til at sige Dem, at jeg stadig ikke er helt rolig.
I look forward to your early opinion on this matter to facilitate moving forward the proposal.
Ved kommissæren også, om man allerede har regnet ud, hvilke følger overdragelsen af disse pensionsordninger har for beskatningen?
This situation, which we are attempting to correct in this way, has affected tens of thousands of my fellow citizens who have been obliged, through unemployment, to offer their services in inferior conditions, especially in Germany, since the solution of the problem brings about the assumption of various aspects.
Fordi i ganske mange lande, hr. kom missær, såsom i mit eget, bliver de mennesker, der gør krav på en supplerende pension, beskattet i een omgang.
Firstly, it is vital that equal treatment be genuinely applied to all workers, whether they are Community citizens or nationals of nonCommunity countries.
Risikerer de så ikke at blive beskattet en gang til ved overførsel af denne pensionsordning, og havner vi så ikke på ny i en meget vanskelig procedure med bilaterale fiskale aftaler?
Secondly, we must apply the Community social policy in accordance with the principle of equalisation in progress.
Jeg vil gerne spørge Dem, om De ikke kan skabe lidt større politisk og teknisk klarhed over den slags problemer, og hvorledes De søger at vikle Dem ud af disse.
Why are there frauds? Why is it in the interest of companies to post workers in the framework of subcontracting?
Pronk (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, efter det, hr. Schiedermeier har sagt - jeg tror en af de bedste taler i hans
And why do wages differ, and why do working and living conditions differ?
Især når vi på den ene side vedtager et udstationeringsdirektiv, hvor vi belægger grænseoverskridende arbejde og anvendelse af lovgivning med strenge regler, så må menneskers rettigheder, arbejdstagernes ret tigheder være fuldstændig sikrede og til at tage med. Eet af eksemplerne herpå er pensionen. Naturligvis drejer det sig om hele det sociale sikringssystem, hvor mennesker kan
I have to say to Mr Peter that there was and is a continuing level of frustration everywhere that the matter has been allowed tò drag on and may end up in the one thing we have always wanted to avoid - a patchwork quilt of legislation: in other words, 15 national pieces of legislation, each trying to treat the same thing but doing it differently and, consequently, ending up not in the best interests of workers.
Jeg tror faktisk, at vi må gå ind på det i Udvalget om Sociale Anliggender og Beskæftigelse, og at der stadig venter os et stort stykke arbejde, men at De i dag har fjernet en kæmpe sten på vejen. Hugh Kerr er så optimistisk, at han tror, at det er overstået inden for en måned.
But the Commission feels at the moment that we need to clarify some issues and get the opinion of the highlevel group - which after all is dealing with matters relating to the freedom of workers and should be allowed six months to come back and tell us what it thinks about the matter.
Så hurtigt går det nu alligevel ikke, hr. formand, men i al fald kan vi nu igen komme videre med denne sag, og det er meget vigtigt.
Then you can rest assured that it is my intention to be back here to tell you about the outcome and to make a suitable proposal.
For det andet er det nødvendigt, at Fællesskabets socialpolitik bringes i overensstemmelse med princip pet om, at udviklingen skal bidrage til at skabe større iighed.
If we are going to be pragmatic about these things we must recognize the added value that can exist with the Italian compromise, if it can be put together.
Hvorfor finder der svindel sted?
We get the added value of clarity.
Hvorfor er virksomhederne interesseret i udstationering af arbejdstagere som led i underentreprise?
We also get the obligation for administrative cooperation between the Member States and the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice.
Og hvorfor er der forskelle med hensyn til aflønning og leve- og arbejdsvilkår...
I regard these as being hugely important in pursuing this particular issue.
Alle kan efter min opfattelse forestille sig, hvad det betyder at blive tvunget til sådanne konkurrence vilkår, og at en europæisk orienteret arbejdsstyrke spurgte sig selv i den forbindelse: Hvor bliver Den Europæiske Union af?
It is going to come back. But we are taking the added measure now of going to the highlevel group and having this very complicated and sensitive issue - as Mr Pronk has indicated - dealt with in the best way we can.
I forbindelse med de supplerende pensioner, så tror jeg, at dette er meget vigtigt, og jeg er også meget glad over, at denne high level group er blevet nedsat.
McMahon (PSE). - Mr President, on a point of order. It concerns my Question No 75, which is actually on the same subject as the ones by Mr Truscott and Mrs Crepaz, and it is addressed to Mr Flynn.
I Nederlandene varede det femten år, før dette problem med de supplerende pensioner, der i Nederlandene, som De ved, er temmelig vigtige, blev løst.
It is on the same subject - discrimination against foreign lecturers in Italy.
Og selv for de ældre pensioner er dette stadig ikke tilfældet.
Parliament's services did not seem to realize that was what was being referred to.
Jeg tænker europæisk, og vi må jo gøre noget på dette område. Mit spørgsmål til kommissæren er blot: skulle vi ikke også have socialprotokollen i erindring i dette til fælde?
As we all know, the aim is quite simply to remove certain obstacles to crossborder mobility of workers.
Dette frembyder i al fald den store fordel, at spørgsmålet om social sikring er beskrevet noget klarere i socialprotokollen end udenfor.
There is a coordinated mechanism which applies only to statutory measures.
Det frembyder ydermere muligheden for at inddrage arbejdsmarkedets parter, som også spiller en meget vigtig rolle i dette spørgsmål.
The supplementary schemes that we are talking about here are the ones that are complementary or replace statutory schemes. They do not have that coordinating mechanism.
Derfor kræver jeg: Vi har brug for et europæisk udstationeringsdirektiv!
Part I: Urgent questions
Hr. kommissær, jeg håber meget, at det italienske formandskab, Kommissionen og Europa-Parlamentet omsider kan vedtage et europæisk udstationeringsdirektiv, som umuliggør en lønmæssig og social dumping.
The existing legislation - 1408/71 - that deals with statutory pensions gives the kind of security we are talking about.
For i dag rammer det nemlig den ene sektor og i morgen den anden, og til beskyttelse af arbejdstagerne må man derfor ikke undtage nogen.sektor i Den Europæiske Union.
If we could get that for occupational pensions then we would have achieved an awful lot for the mobility of workers in Europe.
Det er en yderst vanskelig sag, hvis løsning jeg gerne så forbundet med en fuldgyldig stadfæstelse af og respekt for ligebehandlingsprincippet, som er et grundprincip i forbil· delse med den frie bevægelighed for arbejdstagere.
Subject: Ruling in the Bosman case and the sanction imposed on the Costa Naranja basketball team
Det drejer sig om, at virksomhedernes etableringsret i medlemsstaterne ikke må føre til, at lokale firmaer söm følge af en importeret lønstruktur og arbejdsvilkår trænges ud af konkurrencen og mennesker på grund af - som de siger - Europa kastes ud i arbejdsløshed.
Is the Commission planning to take any action against the Spanish Basketball Federation to secure a lifting of the sanction which it has imposed on the Costa Naranja basketball team for fielding three foreigners (one of whom was a national of a Member State) in an official match?
Kun på den måde kan man forhindre en unfair konkurrence fra andres side, der er skadelig for den europæiske integration og den europæiske fællesskabsånd.
In what way does the Commission, in its capacity as guardian of the Treaties, intend to ensure compliance with Community law in this case?
Og det er, hvad det drejer sig om: at neutralisere muligheden for svindel!
You raised two of them, Mrs Van Lancker: namely, the question of numbers.
Flynn, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EN) Jeg vil absolut gerne takke medlemmerne for deres generelle støtte til de spørgsmål, der behandles: overførsel af virksomheder, udstationering af arbejdstagere og spørgsmålet om pensionstillæg.
Two interesting statistics that you should keep in mind are: half of the workers of Europe are now engaged in occupational or supplementary pension schemes; about 3.1 million workers move between the Member States, from one to another.
Jeg vil især gerne takke Dem, hr. Kerr, for Deres meget generøse bemærkninger om dette spørgsmål; og også hr. Schiedermeier.
But this does not take on board those who might have done so in the past and have moved back, or those who might do it in the future.
Det er ikke let at tilfredsstille hele Parlamentet - begge sider.
We are talking about a huge volume and, as you quite rightly say, it is increasing.
Det er beroligende for Kommissionen at se, at der er den grad af samarbejde mellem Kommissionen og Parlamentet i for-
There are other possibilities that can be contemplated and instruments that
Den situation, som vi på denne måde ønsker at korrigere, har berørt titusindvis af mine landsmænd, der på grund af arbejdsløshed er blevet tvunget til at arbejde under dårligere arbejdsvilkår, navnlig i Tyskland, hvorfor løsningen af problemet indebærer hensyntagen til forskellige aspekter.
Van Miert, Member of the Commission. - (NL) It appears clear from the information we have received in this case, primarily from the press, that the action taken by the basketball federation in question was contrary to the ruling in the Bosman case, and so if the sanction was imposed on the club for noncompliance with the famous nationality rule, the club was not in actual fact at fault.
For det første er det nødvendigt, at ligebehandlingsprincippet finder anvendelse for alle arbejdstageres vedkom
The club acted lawfully according to the ruling of the Court, whereas the basketball federation acted unlawfully in imposing the sanction.
Flynn bindelse med dette særligt vanskelige og følsomme spørgs mål. Men i det mindste vil vi gøre fremskridt nu og omsider få spørgsmålet løst til alles tilfredshed.
It also means that the club in question can apply to the national courts not only to take action against the federation, but also, in my view, for compensation, in line with the Bosman ruling.
Jeg ser frem til Deres snarlige udtalelse om dette spørgsmål, så forslaget kan fremmes.
It is not the club which is at fault, it is clearly the basketball federation, in failing to comply with the ruling of the Court.
Der er ingen tvivl om, at spørgsmålet om udstationering nu er et aktuelt spørgsmål.
Añoveros Trias de Bes (PPE). - (ES) Thank you, Com missioner, for that answer, which I consider to be quite correct.
Forhåbentlig kan der fastlægges en fælles holdning i en meget nær fremtid under det italienske • formandskab.
Two weeks ago, I saw Commissioners Van Miert and Flynn make statements on television concerning the Bosman ruling and UEFA.
Jeg mener, at i sidste instans var det ikke længere noget valg mellem et europæisk direktiv med en frist på nul eller én måned, men derimod mellem et europæisk direktiv med en frist på nul og i 5 nationale lovgivninger, hvor alt tenderede mod nul. Det var valget i sidste instans.
It was not the Court of Justice or the European Commission which invented current practices, practices which lead to the adoption of frankly inhumane attitudes.
Hvis vi skal behandle disse ting pragmatisk, skal vi erkende den forøgede værdi, der findes i forbindelse med det italienske kompromis, hvis det kan stykkes sammen.
On what basis can we prevent a player who has come to the end of his contract, who is earning a miserable wage, and who finds another club in France, from going to play for them?
Vi får den forøgede værdi i form af klarhed.
Let me give you another example.
Vi får også forpligtelsen til administrativt samarbejde mellem medlemsstaterne og Domstolens jurisdiktion.
Certain leagues or national unions lay down in their regulations that a player or club with good cause for bringing a compliant before the courts in his own country will be completely banned from the sport in question if he does so.
Jeg anser disse for at være særdeles vigtige i forbindelse med dette spørgsmål.
That is the reality in the field.
sante statistiske oplysninger, som De bør huske på, er: Halvdelen af arbejdstagerne i Europa er nu omfattet af erhvervspensions- eller pensionstillægsordninger; ca. 3, 1 mio arbejdstagere rejser mellem medlemsstaterne, fra den ene til den anden.
In view of the fact that UEFA has taken the ruling very badly, I should like to ask Mr Van Miert if the Commission is really prepared to impose sanctions - although the ruling does not mention sanctions, as the Commissioner well knows - if UEFA fails to comply with the ruling within six weeks.
Vi taler om et særdeles stort antal, og som De helt rigtigt sagde, stiger det.
Having said this, the Court of Justice has ruled in this area.
Man bør så selvfølgelig rejse spørgsmålet om beskatning. Dette er et særdeles vanskeligt område.
The Commission is no longer able to seek to introduce a transitional period, for example.
Man kunne overveje andre . muligheder og instrumenter, der også kunne anvendes i denne henseende.
Van Miert - (NL) Mr President, let me make it clear that we are talking about two completely different things.
Den er af central betydning for udviklingen af den europæiske arbejdsstyrke.
What is at issue here is the position adopted by the basketball federation in a specific case.
På et meget godt orienteringsmøde var hele Kommissionen af den opfattelse, at vi er nødt til at gøre noget ved dette meget følsomme område.
The other matter concerns UEFA and Article 85 of the Treaty, following UEFA's notification of its transfer rules to the Commission in July last year.
Men Kommissionen føler for øjeblikket, at vi er nødt til at afklare nogle spørgsmål og få udtalelsen fra den højtstående gruppe -som jo behandler spørgsmål vedrørende arbejdstagernes frie bevægelighed og bør gives et halvt år til at vende tilbage og fortælle os, hvad den mener om spørgsmålet.
We have now written to UEFA to advise them that their transfer system does not comply with the Court's ruling and that they have six weeks in which to inform us that they have abandoned their transfer system or made fundamental changes to it.
Så kan De være forvisset om, at jeg agter at vende tilbage hertil og fortælle Dem om resultatet og forelægge ét egnet forslag.
These six weeks must be seen as part of the proceedings that we have started against UEFA.
Det glæder mig, at vi gør fremskridt.
You asked me whether there is a possibility that sanctions might be imposed here.
FORSÆDE: Sir Jack STEWART-CLARK Næstformand
However, we would much prefer it if UEFA agreed to comply fully with the Court's ruling.
Vedrørende det andet spørgsmål - spørgsmålet om pensioner - kan De være forvisset om, fru Van Lancker, at det hverken er et spørgsmål om skuffelse eller om at lægge tingene på is.
For the rest, I repeat here, publicly, what I have repeatedly told the UEFA delegation: together with the UEFA, or the national unions, or the clubs, the Commission is prepared to try and develop another system based on solidarity rather than a player's price, because this is indeed what the present transfer system is based on.
Spørgsmålet er ikke lagt på hylden.
And why not also include social objectives?
Det tages op igen.
We are ready to do this.
Men vi gør nu det yderligere, at vi lader den højtstående gruppe behandle dette meget komplicerede og følsomme spørgsmål - som hr. Pronk sagde - på den bedste mulige måde.
My colleague, Commissioner Flynn, is no longer in the Chamber, but our views do not differ on this subject. Quite the contrary.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er spørgetiden (B4-0010/96).
However, to date, while we have received replies from a number of clubs, we have received nothing from the UEFA.
Vi behandler spørgsmål til Kommissionen.
We are ready to search for such a system, together with the UEFA and others, a system which I am sure would also be acceptable to the Commission from the point of view of competition and Article 85 in particular.
Det vedrører mit spørgsmål nr. 75, som rent faktisk vedrører samme emne som spørgsmålene af hr. Truscott og fru Crepaz, og det er rettet til hr. Flynn. Jeg håber, at spørgsmål nr. 75 kan behandles sammen med spørgsmål hr. 50 og 51.
I wonder whether the Commission could not take into account the fact that one of the elements of peaceful competition between nations lies in the origin of at least the majority of . the players in a sports team.
