Neil Kinnock, medlem af Kemimissionen. — (EN) Hr. formand, det glæder mig at dette vigtige spørgsmål nu er forelagt Parlamentet til udtalelse.
This economic tradition is also based on a sense of publicservice which, among other things, ensures fairness and the same quality of service in every region of the European Union.
De ændringsforslag, som Udvalget om Miljø- og Sundhedsanliggender og Forbrugerbeskyttelse har stillet, er en positiv forbedring af teksten, og jeg må rose ordføreren, hr. Schnellhardt, for det arbejde, han har udført.
And finally, it is based very firmly on an ability to work together for the future, in the knowledge that we will not solve problems by tackling them on our own and that we will not necessarily solve our countries' problems, and particularly unemployment, by improving access to the European Union for third parties, some of whose interests may be in conflict with our own.
De standarder, som disse små og mellemstore slagterier opfylder, er i de fleste tilfælde fuldstændig tilstrækkelige.
President. — The next item is the joint debate on the following oral questions:
Jeg glæder mig derfor over forslaget om at fastsætte højere lofter for kreaturenheder, som har vist sig meget mere passende, siden de blev indført midlertidigt.
B4-0341/95 by Mr Sanchez Garcia, on behalf of the Group of the European Radical Alliance, to the Commission, on the open skies agreements between Member States and the US;
Men hvert tilfælde inden for denne kategori skal klart vurderes individuelt af medlemsstaternes kompetente myndigheder, og enhver yderligere frist til at overholde direktivet skal begrænses til det, der er strengt nødvendigt i hvert enkelt tilfælde.
It must be recognized that social security protection in the countries of the European Union should be kept at its present level, and that one of the key principles of the way in which the European Union operates is that at the social level, the impetus must be upwards and not downwards.
Ved at vedtage en specifik dato risikerer man selvfølgelig, at denne dato bliver en de facto-standard for alle virksomheder.
Any bilateral measure likely to compromise this basic commitment to upward movement is extremely dangerous, not only for European integration in itself, but also for the future of all our countries.
Kommissionen kan ikke tilslutte sig dette, da det vil medføre en konkurrenceforvridning i forhold til de virksomheder, der har foretaget de nødvendige investeringer.
B4-0342/95 by Mr Simpson and Mr Liittge, on behalf of the Group of the Party of European Socialists, to the Commission, on the bilateral open skies agreements between Member States and the US;
Jeg vil geme over for kommissæren understrege, at Den Liberale Gruppe tillægger det stor betydning, at forbrugerne får så mange oplysninger som muligt om den måde, kødet produceres og slagtes på.
B4-0343/95 by Mr Sarlis and others, on behalf of the Group of the European People's Party, to the Commission, on the open skies agreements between Member States and the US;
Med hensyn til ændringsforslag nr. 7 kan jeg ikke tilslutte mig dette forslag, fordi hvis der findes generelle grande til ikke at mærke det ferske kød med EU-mærket, bør kødet heller ikke afsættes i tilgrænsende områder af andre medlemsstater. Hvis en virksomhed opfylder de krav, der er fastsat i bilag I, kapitel 1 og 2 i direktiv 64/433, ferskkødsdirektivet, kan den opnå EF-godkendelse og derfor være berettiget til at drive handel i hele Den Europæiske Union.
If we state very clearly and very strongly that our individual interests are perfectly compatible with, and linked to, our common interests, we will persuade these six countries that they must, at least for the time being, adapt to a common set of principles, and in due course transfer to the European Union — which is currently negotiating with these countries — part of their sovereignty, at least in the area of external negotiations on aviation matters.
Jeg glæder mig imidlertid navnlig over bestemmelserne om, at medlemsstaterne skal være lidt mere fleksible i deres gennem førelse af direktivets lofter.
B4-0344/95 by Mr Wijsenbeek, on behalf of the Group of the European Liberal Democratic and Reformist Party, to the Commission, on the conclusion of bilateral open skies agreements with the US;
Min regering har udvist en total mangel på fleksibilitet i denne henseende, og det ser ud til, at dette vil blive værre gennem oprettelsen af den foreslåede kødhygiejnekontrol.
B4-0347/95 by Mr Killilea, on behalf of the Group of the European Democratic Alliance, to the Commission, on air transport relations with third countries.
Inden jeg afslutter, vil jeg gerne sige, at jeg er taknemlig for parlamentsmedlemmemes opmærksomhed.
However, we must not let ourselves be deceived by appearances.
(Bifald)
Sindal (PSE). — (DA) I have a problem.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
On the other hand, I support them as a European.
Vi går nu over til afstemningen.
The Social Democrats in Europe support them.
Kreissl-Dörfler (V). — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg glæder mig over betænkningen om produktion og afsætning af fersk kød.
We support the initiative taken by the Commission with a view to creating an air space which also caters for domestic traffic.
Dermed er der gjort et yderligere skridt mod en forbrugervenlig struktur.
I am very much aware of the American interests, not least in Denmark.
Også hvad angår hygiejnekravet, kan mindre slagterier efter min opfattelse arbejde mindst lige så upåklageligt som de store, hvis ikke endog bedre.
We get agreements with the Americans, but we are not allowed to provide cabotage services, so I have a somewhat ambivalent attitude on this issue.
Hermed tages der omsider højde for afskaffelsen af to slags kvalitetsmærker.
On the one hand, there are of course national interests; on the other hand, there is the European aspect.
Gennem de lange transportveje osv. har det vist sig, at dyrene i
But here I feel there is a role for Parliament.
(Forslaget til lovgivningsmæssig beslutning veeltoges)
We must appreciate that the private companies' interests are different to those of
6. »Open Sky«-aftale mellem medlemsstaterne og USA
Sindal the public-sector companies, that is why it is important to establish a common basis for open skies agreements.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling under ét om følgende mundtlige forespørgsler: principper for, hvorledes Den Europæiske Union skal fungere, er, at på det sociale niveau skal påvirkningen være i opadgående og ikke i nedadgående retning samt at enhver bilateral foranstaltning, der måske kan ødelægge denne grundlæggende beslutning om påvirkning i opadgående retning, er særdeles farlig, ikke kun for opbygningen af Europa som sådan, men ligeledes for hvert enkelt lands fremtid.
is strong when it speaks with one voice. And it is that very strategy which, in my view, must be applied to cooperation agreements in the field of air traffic, because we must understand, Mr President, that if we do not voluntarily cede parts of our sovereignty to the European Union we shall be obliged defacto to cede them to other nonEuropean powers which have themselves perfectly recognized the advantages involved in union and large-scale operation.
— B4-0341/95 af Sánchez García for Gruppen Europæisk Radikal Alliance til Kommissionen om »Open Sky«-aftale mellem medlemsstaterne og USA;
Those countries or companies which are now seeking to go their own way may gain advantages in the short term. But they may do damage in the long term.
— B4-0342/95 af Simpson og Liittge for De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe til Kommissionen om bilaterale »Open Sky«-aftaler mellem USA og medlemsstaterne;
I am therefore very preoccupied by a project called 'open skies agreements at European level'.
— B4-0343/95 af Sarlis m.fl. for Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe til Kommissionen om »Open Sky«-aftaler mellem EU og USA;
We must realize that, while we may do well on our own. we could perhaps do even better together.
— B4-0344/95 af Wijsenbeek for Det Europæiske Liberale og Demokratiske Partis Gruppe til Kommissionen om ind gåelse af »Open Sky«-aftaler med USA;
In the Committee on Transport and Tourism we give our attention to air traffic control, to transEuropean networks, so why should we not seek common ground on this issue too?
— B4-0347/95 af Killilea for Gruppen Europæisk Demokratisk Alliance til Kommissionen om forbindelser med tredjelande på lufttransportområdet.
The European Social Democrats have therefore given their support to the resolution, and we support the Commissioner in his continued work in this field.
Taubira-Delannon (ARE). — (FR) Hr. formand, det er givet, at der ikke er nogen juridisk tekst, som klart forbyder undertegnelsen af de bilaterale aftaler, der er indgået mellem seks af Den Europæiske Unions medlemsstater og USA.
Wijsenbeek (ELDR). — (NL) Mr President, in spite of the Commissioner's increased knowledge of meat, fish and statistics, he has got a bloody nose on his own dossier.
Der findes ikke desto mindre en retspraksis, som giver Kommissionen ret til at gribe ind, når sådanne aftaler har indvirkning på fællesskabsretten. Men lad os ikke gemme os bag det ydre skin.
The Member States in question did not even answer the Commissioner's letters in the first instance and that was not a good beginning for a new and promising member of that august body, the Commission.
På den anden side støtter jeg det som europæer.
Could or should the Commissioner have known better?
Socialdemokratiet i Europa støtter det.
In fact, yes. but if it is any comfort for him, I think he is right on this dossier.
Vi støtter det fælles initiativ, der går ud på at skabe et luftrum for europæiske flyinteresser.
In theory, according to the Treaty, negotiations for every agreement on trade or transport law must be carried on by the Union as a whole and by the Commission on behalf of the Union.
Vi støtter det initiativ, som kommissæren har taget med henblik på at skabe et luftrum, hvor vi også tager hensyn til den inteme trafik.
Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra (PPE). - (ES) Mr President, the fact that the common transport policy developed at a late stage — to be specific, the fact that the first air transport liberalization package was approved only in 1987. that is.
Vi får nogle aftaler med amerikanerne, men vi får jo ikke lov til at lave cabotageflyvning, så derfor har jeg et lidt ambivalent forhold til dette spørgsmål.
It is therefore very difficult, Mr President, for it to claim to exercise certain powers from one day to the next when it has not made use of them for 30 years past.
På den ene side er der selvfølgelig nogle nationale interesser, men på den anden side er der også det europæiske aspekt. Men her synes jeg, at Parlamentet har en rolle.
Against that, international air traffic is organized and controlled by the Treaty of Chicago of 1944, which is cast in a bilateral mould and is still in force.
Vi skal understrege, at de private selskabers interesser er forskellige fra de offentlige selskabers interesser, og derfor er vi nødt til at operere med et fælles grundlag for »open sky«-aftaler.
So we are faced with the question of whether the Commission as a whole should not rather try to amend and alter that Treaty.
Det er imidlertid helt indlysende, at de kan være i modstrid med traktatens ånd og at et minimum af solidaritet mellem EU-landene ikke kun kan styrke de grundlag, Den Europæiske Union bygges op på, men tillige kan skabe forudsætningerne for en øget, mere reel og mere varig effektivitet i de forbindelser, som EU-landene kan have med de øvrige lande og især med USA, som er den anden pol i samlingen af lande af økonomisk interesse.
Moreover the development of that policy has followed a logical order: priorities have concentrated on the application of the rules of competition, on capacity, on tariffs and market access and only when all those aspects have been conveniently controlled by means of the third package has it been realized that 65% of airlines' income comes from their external markets. And it is here that we come up against the difficulties of all kinds brought up by the Council of Ministers in order not to recognize the European Union's powers in this field of external relations.
De lande eller de selskaber, der nu forsøger at skabe noget for sig selv, kan vel på kort sigt have nogle fordele. Men på lang sigt kan det måske gøre ondt.
What is more, in this specific dossier with the United States — and the Commissioner has mentioned this several times — the United States can, because of the actual situation, practice cabotage in Europe, even if only as a result of their position at Frankfurt.
Derfor er jeg meget optaget af det projekt, der hedder »open sky«-aftaler på europæisk plan. Vi skal understrege, at hver især er vi måske gode, men sammen er vi måske endnu bedre.
We may well strive for open skies, but that still does not mean, apart from one exception, that European companies can also practice cabotage the other way round in the United States, the most interesting air traffic market in the world.
Samtidig taler vi i Transportudvalget om lufttrafikkontrol, vi taler om transeuropæisk netværk, så hvorfor skal vi ikke også på dette område finde fælles fodslag?
This attitude is certainly odd. because, although the Treaties are clear, and so are the judgments of the Court of Justice, the Council goes on rejecting those powers for air transport alone, and yet it has no difficulty in accepting them for other means of transport.
Derfor har de europæiske socialdemokrater støttet beslutningen, og vi støtter kom missæren i hans videre arbejde på dette område.
That attitude is contrary to the latest decision of the Council of Ministers, which has approved certain negotiating directives with a view to the possibility of concluding a cooperation agreement in this sphere with Switzerland.
Vi vil ikke gøre USA til djævle, for vi kan ikke opbygge noget varigt mod tredjelande.
That might be in the near future for example with the negotiations with Switzerland for which the Commission has received a mandate.
Det varige opbygges, ved at vi udnytter vort eget potentiel, stimulerer vore egne gode sider og mobiliserer vore egne ressourcer.
I have one or two questions there. Switzerland itself would be glad to join in with the European air transport market, but meanwhile is in the running for taking over Sabena, and with Sabena Zaventem.
Og derfor skal vi overbevise de EU-lande, der er med i disse bilaterale aftaler om, at deres fremtid på længere sigt er den solidariske fremtid og at Den Europæiske Unions styrke ligger i dens økonomiske kultur, hvoraf den kan skabe en frugtbar syntese.
That means that a non-member state gets a position within the Union. I should be glad to hear from the Commissioner whether he will somehow cast his eye over that, even if only by means of Swiss-Belgian bilateral relations, and whether he thinks that that is in some way a disturbing element in free competition.
Medlemsstaternes økonomiske kultur er gensidig solidaritet.
I also point out that there is another problem in the air traffic market, which concerns Norway in SAS.
Derfor, hr. formand, er det meget vanskeligt fra den ene dag til den anden at begynde at udøve nogle beføjelser, som man ikke har udøvet i 30 år.
We need only look at the imbalance between the traffic rights enjoyed by the American companies in Europe and those of European Union companies in the United States to see what benefits that policy produces.
Medlemsstatemes økonomiske kultur, som kan stå i indbyrdes forbindelse, er endvidere meningen med den offentlige service, som især sikrer lighed og samme serviceniveau i alle Den Europæiske Unions regioner.
I therefore think. Mr Commissioner, that the Commission must be very firm in exercising the responsibilities entrusted to it by the Treaties and to ensure that in those open skies agreements any clause causing discrimination on grounds of nationality or injuring the general interests of the European Union is eliminated.
Det er endelig og i høj grad en evne til at arbejde sammen for fremtiden velvidende, at vi ikke kan løse problemerne i spredt orden og at vi heller ikke ved at gøre det lettere for andre, f.eks. for tredjelande, hvis interesser kan være i modstrid med vore, at komme ind på Den Europæiske Unions territorium nødvendigvis kan løse de problemer, der er i vore lande, navnlig arbejdsløsheden.
In reality what is happening in the skies of the European Union is rather the same as what happens generally with the plan for building the European Union: that everyone wants to save himself, forgetting that the strength of Europe is its unity and that its fragmentation is its weakness, that Europe
Det niveau, de sociale rettigheder befinder sig på i EU-landene, fortjener at blive bevaret, som det er; et af de væsentlige
What we have to discuss now is whether the Commission is aiming at a compromise in the negotiations with the United States.
Desuden har denne politik udviklet sig i en logisk rækkefølge: først har man koncentreret sig om gennemførelse af konkurrencereglerne, om kapacitet, tariffer og adgang til markedet, og først efter at der er sket en hensigtsmæssig regulering af disse aspekter gennem den tredje pakke, er man blevet klar over, at 65% af luftfartsselskabernes indtægter stammer fra deres eksterne markeder.
I think essentially it is a dangerous thing if the Commission, for these important negotiations with the United States, is willing to give up its principle that it and it alone must be the only representative of the Union in negotiations with third countries.
Denne hold ning er i modstrid med Ministerrådets seneste beslutning om at vedtage nogle forhandlingsdirektiver med henblik på indgåelse af en eventuel samarbejdsaftale på dette område med Schweiz.
Goerens (ELDR). — (FR) Mr President, this problem has given rise to a serious conflict of competence between the Commission and certain Member States.
Det, det nu drejer sig om i denne sag om egen skyld, er, at Kommissionen på en eller anden måde retter op på sin holdning.
First, and very obviously, US carriers would enjoy extensive traffic rights, not only across the Atlantic but within the single market here in Europe.
Det burde kunne lade sig gøre i den allernærmeste fremtid for eksempel gennem forhandlingerne med Schweiz, som Kommissionen jo har fået mandat til.
The operation of that network and the consequent development of hub-and-spoke facilities could not fail to have a significant impact on the business of the Community carriers of every Member State.
Jeg har dog alligevel nogle spørgsmål i den forbindelse.
This conflict is based on differences of opinion about the way in which civil aviation should be organized within the Com munity in the future.
Schweiz vil gerne selv være med på det europæiske luftfartsmarked men ønsker i mellem tiden at overtage SABENA og sammen med SABENA at overtage Zaventem.
One is struck by the marked split between the North and the South, in other words between the liberal and protectionist camps.
Dette betyder jo så, at en ikke-medlems-stat får en position inden for Unionen. Jeg kunne godt tænke mig at høre fra kommissæren, om han på en eller anden måde, om ikke andet så på grund af de bilaterale forbindelser Schweiz/Belgien, vil se på det, og om han er af den opfattelse, at dette på en eller anden måde er et forstyrrende element i den frie konkurrence.
Without going into the substance of the matter, it is my view that the Commission has just reaped what it has sown — namely the numerous inconsistencies in its policy in a sector that is still far from being sufficiently liberalized, and in which the main European routes remain private fiefdoms.
Derfor yille det være interessant, hr. Kinnock, hvis Kommissionen, således som Parlamentet har anmodet om, ville udarbejde et katalog over de interesser, Fællesskabets lufttransportindustri har i forhold til USA, netop med henblik på indgåelse af en aftale mellem Den Europæiske Union og USA.
Second, the United States' strategy of negotiating with six Member States is deliberately intended, in the words of their Secretary for Transportation, to put competitive pressure on neighbouring countries to follow suit. The economic consequences of an agreement between six Member States and the USA would therefore be felt by all Member States regardless of what they felt to be in their best individual interests.
Så længe dette ikke sker, vil det land, der hovedsagelig nyder godt af fordelene ved det indre marked, netop være USA, som kender og praktiserer reglen »del og hersk«.
In those circumstances, it is not an exaggeration to say that the real choice for Member States is not between making their own national decisions and agreeing upon a common mandate for negotiations.
Man behøver blot at lægge mærke til den eksisterende uligevægt mellem de amerikanske selskabers trafikrettigheder i Europa og EU-selskaber-nes rettigheder i USA for at blive klar over de fordele, denne politik medfører.
The real choice is between developing that mandate in which they have direct influence or having their decisions made for them by the actions of others over which they have no influence.
Jeg vil samtidig gerne pege på, at der er nok et problem på luftfartsmarkedet, det vedrører Norge inden for SAS.
So civil aviation is clearly lagging behind when compared with the progress made in many other sectors of the internal market.
Også der burde man egentlig indlede forhandlinger, forholdt det ikke således, at der allerede er indgået tidligere aftaler med SAS. Men hvorledes forestiller kommissæren sig at gå videre på dette område?
These countries have good reason to suppose that, as things stand today, a common policy on aviation agreements with third countries, administered by the Commission, would be little more than a pretext for maintaining an unhealthy protectionist attitude.
Det, vi drøfter nu, er, hvorvidt Kommissionen stævner mod et kompromis i forhandlingerne med De Forenede Stater.
Kinnock, Neil, Member of the Commission. — Mr President.
Jeg finder det principielt en farlig ting, om Kommissionen i forbindelse med disse vigtige forhandlinger med De Forenede Stater skulle opgive sit princip om, at den og den alene bør være den eneste repræsentant for Unionen ved forhandlinger med tredjelande.
I am grateful to Mr Liittge, Mr Simpson and several other Members, some of whom have spoken in the course of this short debate, for their questions on civil aviation relations with the United States of America and for the common resolution from several political groups on the same subject.
Er kommissæren stadig sindet at inddrage Domstolen her, eller hvorledes er hans videre —jeg vil næsten sige — strategi og taktik?
The United States stratagem — to be fair to them — is calculating and honest.
Det kunne vi dog godt tænke os at høre. Naturligvis bakker vi denne beslutning, som foreligger her, op, fordi vi har selv været med til at underskrive den.
It is also deliberately discriminatory and divisive.
Goerens (ELDR). — (FR) Hr. formand, dette spørgsmål har givet anledning til en dybtgående kompetencestrid mellem Kommissionen og nogle af medlemsstaterne.
The model agreements which they offer do not provide any parity of foreign investment rights.
Jeg mener derfor, hr. kommissær, at Kommissionen skal være urokkelig i udøvelsen af det ansvar, som traktaterne giver den, og holde øje med, at man fjerner enhver bestemmelse, der diskriminerer på grand af nationalitet, og som skader Den Europæiske Unions generelle interesser.
The model agreements do not include the safeguards which have been established in the third package of civil aviation liberalization measures here in Europe to ensure — amongst other things — fair competition, safely, financial solvency and to avoid market disruptions.
