Camisón Asensio (PPE). - (ES) Hr. formand, kommissæren er - som det fremgik af hans indlæg for lidt siden - til fulde klar over alvoren ide problemer, der er opstået, ikke alene i Frankrig, men også i nabolandene.
Cornelissen (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, I would like to thank the Commissioner for his explanation and for his efforts. It is not the first time, nor I fear is it the last time, that roads are blocked in order to exert pressure on negotiators in a labour dispute.
Jeg sætter overhovedet ikke spørgsmålstegn ved værdien af sådan lovgivning eller de bagvedliggende principper.
As far as the situation in France is concerned, I miss no opportunity with my colleagues in the Transport Council and elsewhere to emphasize the value of what the honour able Member describes and is generally understood to be the social dialogue.
I Nederlandene er det sådan, at beslutninger truffet af det nederlandske parlament og regeringen om en slags automatisk forbud under visse omstændigheder kan respekteres på nederlandsk territorium.
Guarantees of the kind that could develop out of that are an important contribution to the maintenance of industrial peace on a satisfactory basis which involves none of the parties in the surrender of fundamental requirements and basic rights.
Til gengæld vil jeg stille Dem et helt konkret spørgsmål: har De oplysninger, der tyder på, at konflikten vil blive yderligere intensiveret på baggrund af varslet om strejke i den franske lufttrafik?
It may be that a different level of social dialogue could have contributed to getting rid of the causes of disputes like this.
Grunden til, at jeg stiller Dem dette spørgsmål, hr. kommissær, er, at nogle virksomheder, som transporterer spanske frugt- og grøntssagsprodukter, har anvendt lufttransport som en alternativ løsning.
However, what I want at this juncture is to ensure that Parliament, like the Commission and everyone else, is focused on the efforts being under taken to try to bring this particular dispute to a satisfactory and long-lasting conclusion.
Neil Kinnock. - (EN) Jeg deler det ærede medlems og også andre medlemmers dybe uro, både dem, der har nævnt spørgsmålet, og dem, der ikke har.
Kinnock, Neil. -1 am grateful for the question. I share the honourable Member's great anxiety and, as I said earlier, I was very glad to be given the opportunity by him and by his colleagues to make the statement.
Enhver fornuftig person må være dybt bekymret over følgerne af strejken, ikke kun på kort, men også på længere sigt, især for dem, der er afhængige af at transportere deres varer ad landevejen.
The purpose of undertaking strike action of the kind being followed in France is self-evident but to try to develop a Community law that is comparable to the Dutch practice would be extremely difficult.
Swoboda (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, jeg håber, De på Deres helikoptertur over Tyrol fik et godt indtryk af lastbiltrafikken i dette område.
Camisón Asensio (PPE). - (ES) Mr President, as the Commissioner explained a moment ago, serious problems have arisen not only in France but also in neighbouring countries.
Det er dog kun en indledende bemærkning. Mine to korte spørgsmål lyder som følger: De blev først irriteret over hr. Cohn-Bendits udtalelse, og det forstår jeg godt.
We are concerned about the news we are receiving from Spain in this connection: losses of 1, 000 million in terms of fruit and vegetables in Alicante and 5, 000 million in Almería; the citrus-fruit harvest is at a standstill in Castellón and, in Portugal, the textile and car industries are on the verge of collapse, etc.
Men bør situationen i Frankrig ikke foranledige Kommissionen til at gøre det klart over for Rådet, hvor vigtig den sociale dialog er i Europa?
I do not even put into question the value of such a law or the principles involved into it.
Vi kan kun undgå sådanne principielle problemer og strejker, hvis den sociale dialog er et grundprincip!
I would simply say that whilst in the Netherlands the decisions of the Dutch Parliament and Government in relation to a sort of automatic injunction in certain specific circumstances could be respected within the borders of that sovereign territory.
For det andet ville jeg bede Dem, hr. kommissær, om klart at fastslå også her i Parlamentet - fordi det vil være forbilledligt inden for rammerne af behandlingen af jernbane hvidbogen, her var der jo for kort tid siden en demonstration - at De rettidigt og i god tid vil diskutere med fagforeningerne.
The likelihood of the European Community giving powers to the Commission or to the Court of Justice to be able to apply that principle across the Community is extremely remote.
Den sidste del af spørgsmålet er ikke så relevant for det spørgsmål, der er stillet af Udvalget om Transport og Turisme. Jeg
When we are in the situation, as happens at regular intervals, of individual Member States resisting even the
Jeg vil ikke yderligere kommentere mulighederne af, at strejken spreder sig til den civile luftfartssektor, da der ikke på nuværende tidspunkt er pålidelige, detaljerede oplysninger til rådighed om dette emne.
However, I do have one very specific question for you: do you have any news to the effect that attitudes in the dispute could harden even further in the light of the announcement of a
Formanden. - Vi takker hr. kommissær Kinnock for, at han har stået til rådighed med svar på vores spørgsmål.
President. - Our thanks are due to Commissioner Kinnock for giving us an account of his position.
Hermed er spørgetiden afsluttet.
That ends question time.
Udnævnelse af formanden for EMI
Appointment of EMI President
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er
President. - The next item is the joint debate on the following:
- indstilling (A4-0373/96) af von Wogau for Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik om genudnævnelse af formanden for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut fra 1. januar 1997 til 30. juni 1997; og - den korte periode fra foråret 1998, hvor der træffes afgørelse om deltagerne, indtil december 1998 gælde om hurtigst muligt at gøre denne Europæiske Centralbank funktionsdygtig.
- recommendation (A4-0373/96) by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, on the reappointment of the President of the European Monetary Institute from 1 January 1997 until 30 June 1997 (rapporteur: Mr von Wogau);
Det vil ikke blive let.
That will be no easy matter.
Derfor ville det være fornuftigt, hvis den personlighed, der nu udnævnes til at lede Det Europæiske Monetære Institut, senere også kunne påtage sig ledelsen af Den Europæiske Centralbank.
It would make sense, therefore, if the person now appointed to head the European Monetary Institute could later take charge of the European Central Bank.
Vi har derfor stillet hr. Duisenberg dette spørgsmål.
So we asked Mr Duisenberg that question: would he also be a candidate for the European Central Bank?
Jeg mener, det var en vigtig oplysning.
I think that was an important moment.
Det har undret mig, at pressen praktisk taget ikke har taget notits af det, og heller ikke af, at det var en formel høring, hvor Europa-Parlamentet udøvede sine rettigheder.
It surprised me very much that the press took virtually no notice of it, not even of the fact that this was a formal hearing at which the European Parliament was exercising its rights.
Vi ved, at beslutningen om den første centralbankformand så træffes af stats- og regeringscheferne efter Europa-Parlamentets udtalelse, men jeg har alligevel anset det for vigtigt at høre hr. Duisenberg svare så klart på dette spørgsmål.
We know that the decision on the first President of the Central Bank will be a matter for the heads of State and Government, after consulting the European Parliament, but despite that I thought it was important to obtain such a clear statement of intent from Mr Duisenberg.
indstilling (A4-0372/96) af von Wogau for Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik om udnævnelse af formanden for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut fra 1. juli 1997.
recommendation (A4-0372/96) by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, on the appointment of the President of the European Monetary Institute from 1 July 1997 (rapporteur: Mr von Wogau).
Ved høringen kom det klart til udtryk, at hr. Duisenberg har en stor international erfaring i monetære forhold fra sin erhvervsmæssige karriere.
In the course of the hearing it became very clear how much international experience of monetary matters Mr Duisenberg has acquired in the course of his professional life.
Han har desuden været finans minister i Nederlandene, og han er en overordentlig succesrig guvernør for den nederlandske centralbank.
He has also served as the Dutch Finance Minister, and was an exceptionally successful Governor of the Dutch Central Bank.
Han har med fornøjelse gjort opmærksom på, at han på nogle punkter har haft endnu mere succes med hensyn til den nederlandske gyldens stabilitet end hans kolleger i den tyske forbundsbank.
He enjoyed pointing out that, in various areas connected with the stability of the guilder, he has actually been more successful than his colleagues in the German Bundesbank.
von Wogau (PPE), ordfører. - (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, efter Maastrichttraktaten medvirker Europa-Parlamentet ved udnævnelse af formanden for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut, idet det nemlig skal afgive en udtalelse om kandidatens person.
von Wogau (PPE), rapporteur. - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, under the Maastricht Treaty the European Parliament is to be consulted on the appointment of the President of the European Monetary Institute, and in fact is required to give an opinion regarding the candidate.
Vi skal altså i dag afgive en udtalelse, for det første om forlængelse af embedsperioden for den nuværende formand, hr. Alexandre Lamfalussy, indtil midten af 1997, der således er foreslået, og for det andet om udnævnelse af hr. Wim Duisenberg til hans efterfølger fra juli næste år.
Today, then, we are called upon to give an opinion, first, on extending President Alexandre Lamfalussy's term of office until mid-1997, which has been proposed, and secondly on the appointment of Mr Wim Duisenberg to succeed him from July next year.
Jeg vil ved denne lejlighed gerne takke hr. Alexandre Lamfalussy for det arbejde, han har præsteret i de forløbne år.
I should like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Alexandre Lamfalussy for his efforts in past years.
Han har oprettet Det Europæiske Monetære Institut i overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i Maastricht-traktaten.
He has established the European Monetary Institute as required by the Maastricht Treaty.
Jeg minder om, hvor vanskelig denne begyndelse har været.
I need not remind you what a difficult job that was at first.
Jeg tænker på de bygningsmæssige foranstaltninger, der her skulle træffes.
I remember the building work that had to be done here.
Jeg tænker på et besøg på det monetære institut i Frankfurt, hvor man praktisk taget bare færdedes på en byggeplads.
I remember a visit to the Monetary Institute in Frankfurt where we were virtually scrambling around on a building site.
Alligevel er det lykkedes Alexandre Lamfalussy for det første at lede Det Europæiske Monetære Institut på fremragende vis og for det andet også at overholde tidsplanen.
Even so, Alexandre Lamfalussy has proved an outstanding head of the Monetary Institute, and has even managed to keep to the timetable.
Hans samarbejde med Europa-Parlamentet har været forbilledligt.
If, today, we can feel certain that - at least as far as this aspect is concerned - the
Vi havde i udvalget en høring med ham den 30. oktober i år. Her anvendte vi den samme procedure som ved udnævnelse af de europæiske kommissærer, nemlig først en offenüig høring af kandidaten om hans personlige forhold og faglige kvalifikationer.
On the basis of its discussions, the committee came to the conclusion that Mr Duisenberg is certainly a suitable candidate, and we recommend the European Parliament to vote for his appointment tomorrow.
Umiddelbart derefter trækker udvalget sig tilbage for at drøfte og tage stilling til spørgsmålet.
But, in doing so, we will be placing our hopes and expectations in him.
Formanden for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut er også samtidig garant for den europæiske valutas stabilitet.
We all respect the independence of the European Central Bank, and regard it as a matter of the greatest importance.
Jeg spurgte hende, hvorfor.
The President of
Og her er jeg ved den anden grund til, at valutaens stabilitet er så vigtig: Inflation leder investeringerne i den forkerte retning, i uproduktive retninger.
IN THE CHAIR: MRS FONTAINE Vice-President the Central Bank, then, must declare his policy, and the forum for him to do so is the European Parliament - the committees and part-sessions of the European Parliament.
Hvis vi ønsker, at der investeres i fremtiden, at der investeres i arbejdspladser, så har vi som det allerførste brug for en stabil valuta som grundlag herfor.
So we expect and hope that Mr Duisenberg will continue to act in the excellent spirit of cooperation that we established with Mr Alexandre Lamfalussy.
Union og udtrykker vores respekt for, at der har stået en formand ved navn Alexandre Lamfalussy i spidsen for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut.
The President of the European Monetary Institute is also the guarantor of the stability of the European currency.
Jeg vil her ikke blot minde om, at hr. Lamfalussy som aftalt har opfyldt sin demokratiske pligt til at aflægge beretning i dialogerne med Underudvalget om Monetær Politik og her i plenum.
Her rent is DM 700.00. So anyone will understand that woman wondering whether rents and food prices are going to go up in the fairly near future, because her very existence is at stake here.
Det har også været muligt at lægge projekter frem for ham, der var af betydning for Europa-Parlamentet.
If we want investors to invest in the future, to invest in jobs, then the first essential for that is to provide a stable currency.
Jeg vil her blot nævne et enkelt eksempel: Europaparlamentet har på et meget tidligt tidspunkt gjort sig til talsmand for en euro pæisk vekselkursmekanisme, for at det indre marked ikke skal blive spaltet og medlemsstaterne ikke skal blive delt op i to grupper, hvor den ene er de lande, der deltager, og den anden de lande, der ikke deltager i Den Monetære Union.
I should like to remind the House that not only has Mr Lamfalussy, as agreed, complied with his democratic obligation to give an account of his acts both in discussions with the Subcommittee on Monetary Affairs and here in the House, but it was also possible to approach him with projects that were important to this House. To quote just one example, this Parliament was a very early supporter of the European exchange rate mechanism, designed to prevent a split in the internal market and a split, too, between countries that would participate in monetary union and countries that would not.
Stik imod den tidligere opfattelse indså formanden for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut meget hurtigt nødvendigheden af at finde en ny mekanisme, der både kunne dæmme op for spekulation og også vise solidaritet uden at tage målforpligtelsen fra den fremtidige Europæiske Cen tralbank.
The President of the European Monetary Institute, contrary to the view that had previously prevailed, very quickly recognized the need to find a new mechanism which would both suppress speculation and express solidarity, without depriving the future European Central Bank of its mandatory objective.
Jeg er overbevist om, at der for tiden er gode betingelser herfor, men at der fortsat er meget at gøre.
I have no doubt that all the omens are good at present, though a great deal still remains to be done.
På den anden side kan man positivt notere, at 10 ud af 15 lande p.t. opfylder stabilitetskriteriet, dvs. en inflationstakt på 2, 6 % og mindre.
On a more positive note, 10 out of 15 Member States now satisfy the stability criterion, meaning a rate of inflation of 2.6 % or less.
Jeg mener, det er en stor succes, der viser, at medlemsstaterne i Den Europæiske Union har gjort sig gevaldige bestræbelser på området stabilitetspolitik.
I regard this as a major success, because it shows that the Member States of the European Union have made massive efforts as far as stability policy is concerned.
Men lige så tydeligt er det også, at p.t. er der kun tre lande i Den Europæiske Union, der opfylder underskudskriteriet, og det viser, at der fortsat skal store bestræbelser til for rent faktisk at virkeliggøre Den Monetære Union som planlagt pr. 1.1.1999.
However, it is equally clear that only three Member States have so far complied with the deficit criterion, which shows what great efforts are still needed if monetary union is indeed to become a reality on 1 January 1999 as planned.
Jeg er overbevist om, at det for at bevare tilliden er nødvendigt at holde fast ved stabilitetskriterierne med Maastricht-traktatens ordlyd og ånd.
I am certain that, in order to sustain confidence, we need to stand by the stability criteria in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Maastricht Treaty.
Den anden grund til, at jeg er positivt stemt og har positive forventninger med hensyn til den europæiske valuta og dens stabilitet, er Den Europæiske Centralbanks uafhængighed og stabilitetsorientering.
The second reason why I am in a positive frame of mind with high hopes of the European currency and its stability is the independence of the European Central Bank and its concern for stability.
Det er en overordentlig vigtig forudsætning herfor.
This is a very, very important require ment.
Men vi skal også være klar over, at spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt vi rent faktisk vil få succes med Den Europæiske Monetære Union, i sidste ende ikke afhænger af nogle artikler i traktaterne, heller ikke af de paragraffer, vi for tiden udtænker meget omhyggeligt, heller ikke af stabilitetspagtens nøjagtige ordlyd, men derimod helt afgørende af de personligheder, der vil præge den fremtidige Europæiske Centralbank.
And we must have no doubt about this: whether or not European monetary union is a success will ultimately depend not on a handful of articles in the treaties, or on the phrasing we are so carefully working on at present, or even on the precise wording of the stability pact, but, to an absolutely crucial extent, on the individuals who will shape the future European Central Bank.
Jeg er overbevist om, at hr. Duisenberg vil blive en af dem, og jeg er overbevist om, at vi med denne meget vigtige person afgørelse, vi træffer i dag, også træffer den rigtige afgørelse! relse!
I have no doubt that Mr Duisenberg will be one of those individuals, and I am convinced that this very important appointment decision that we are taking today will also be a right decision!
Med høringen af hans efterfølger, hr. Duisenberg, er det endnu en gang kommet klart til udtryk, hvilke krav Europa-Parlamentet stiller til en formand for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut.
Our questioning of his successor, Mr Duisenberg, enabled us once again to make it clear what this European Parliament expects of the President of the European Monetary Institute.
Den personlige integritet og de personlige kvalifikationer er et klart kendetegn.
Personal integrity and qualifications are important, undoubtedly.
Men også spørgsmålene om monetære koncepter, om indstillingen til den monetære politik og pengepolitikkens rolle i Den Europæiske Union har været ganske vigtige synspunkter.
But questions about monetary conceptions, attitudes to monetary policy and the role of that policy within the European Union were very important, too.
Inden for rammerne af denne spørgsmål-svar-dialog i denne høring har Parlamentet via sine medlemmer klart kunnet give udtryk for, hvilke store forventninger vi har til den fremtidige formand for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut. Disse krav er naturligvis så meget større, som denne kandidat samtidig har erklæret, at han også er kandidat til hvervet som formand for Den Europæiske Centralbank.
In the course of this question-and-answer session, the Members of this Parliament were able to make it clear how much Parliament expects of the future President of the European Monetary Institute - expectations which, of course, are all the greater because this candidate has stated that he is also a candidate for the office of President of the European Central Bank.
Derfor tager vi også hans ord alvorligt om, at den demokratiske pligt til at aflægge beretning, som monetære myndigheder har her i Den Europæiske Union, også gælder for ham.
So we take him seriously when he says that the democratic accountability of monetary au thorities in this European Union is of great importance to him, too.
For så vidt forventer jeg af ham i hans funktion som formand for Det Europæiske Monetære Institut yderligere fremskridt i forbindelse med forberedelsen. Det skal fortsætte således, at Den Monetære Union teknisk og organisatorisk set ikke kan strande.
In that light, I expect him, in his function as President of the European Monetary Institute, to move further ahead with the preparations for monetary union, so as to ensure that it is technically and organizationally impossible for it to fail.
Men jeg forventer også, han sørger for, at alle nationale centralbanker er uafhængige før oprettelsen af Det Europæiske System af Centralbanker og Den Europæiske Centralbank.
But I also expect him to ensure that, before the European central banking system and the European Central Bank itself are set up, all the national central banks are independent.
Han kunne jo formå sin regering til, at centralbanken i Nederlandene nu bliver uafhængig meget hurtigt.
He might, for example, influence his own government to ensure that the central

Gasòliba i Böhm (ELDR). - (£5) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Liberal Group, I would like to express our full and committed support both for the recommendation to extend the mandate of the President of the European Monetary Institute, Mr Alexandre Lamfalussy, up to 30 June 1997, and for the recom mendation to appoint Dr Wim Duisenberg as his successor.
EMI står over for en kolossal opgave med at forberede den tredje fase af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union og indførelsen af euroen.
This is an extremely important appointment with farreaching consequences for normal development of the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union and the introduction of the euro.
Dagsordenen er nu omfattende, og tidsrammen må ikke forskubbes, eftersom der er mindre end to år til oprettelsen af Den Europæiske Centralbank og kun lidt over to år til indførelsen af euroen.
The timetable is now a pressing one and we must now progress with maximum precision, given that we are less than two years away from the settingup of the European Central Bank and barely more than 24 months away from the introduction of the euro.
