Vi tilskynder rent faktisk til at højne standarden, men vi ønsker at fastsætte et minimum, som ingen går under, og derved undgå den såkaldte sociale dumping, der har været så fremherskende på det seneste.
There is no question about that. That is the reason why, under my colleague's proposals, there are suggestions as to how increased money might be brought into the system to underpin the shortfall that will inevitably occur and that is the reason
Til den ende vil vi forsøge at anvende det eksisterende, lovgivningsgrundlag af en ganske enkel grund: i forsøget på at holde de Tolv på samme niveau uden store skel eller lovkomplekser, der hober sig op mellem de Elleve og Det Forenede Kongerige.
I share the opinion recently expressed by the General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation when he said, and I quote: 'It is an illusion to believe that unemployment can be combated solely by measures which amount to nothing more than putting a sticking plaster on a wooden leg.' for the C02and energy tax proposal.
Derfor siger jeg, at vi vil anvende det eksisterende retsgrundlag på områder som sundhed og sikker hed.
I would think it would be obligatory on us to do everything we can
Glem ikke, at vi har over hundrede forslag under ni forskellige overskrifter i hvidbogen - og hvert eneste er vigtigt!
Work is regarded as an expense, yet it is first and foremost an asset - for the individual and for society.
Jeg ved godt, at fremskridtet på visse aktivitetsområder er sket langsomt under det tyske for mandsskab. Vi har ikke været heldige med bevisbyrden, som De siger.
In order to give priority to the fight against unemployment, we must call into question the 'money first' policy and concentrate on meeting urgent human needs.
Angående spørgsmålet om forældreorlov har jeg indledt drøftelsen med arbejdsmarkedets parter for at se, om vi kan behandle dette enme under Maastrichts strukturer.
We are not talking about harmonization, that is not part of our brief or our competence, but we certainly can do a lot to promote the convergence programmes that are being contemplated.
Bontempi (PSE). - (IT) Hr. kommissær, som svar på to eller tre ret krævende problemer har De, må jeg sige, indtaget tilfredsstillende holdninger.
You are asking those who are in work to share with those who are not, while billions are being squandered in speculation.
Man sidder fast i en forenkling, som går imod disse retningslinjer og som søger at gå uden om den så vigtige forhandling om den sociale dialog. Jeg anmoder Kom missionen om at være opmærksom på dette og at handle.
On the other hand - and this is my question - what specific initiatives are you going to promote in order to initiate a process of reducing working time without loss of income?
Hughes (PSE). - (EN) Jeg vil gerne takke kommissæren for hans indlæg i dag.
Barros Moura (PSE). - (PT) Mr President, Commission er, one of the central aspects of Europe's social policy, in my view, is the guarantee of non-discrimination between workers who are living and working in any country in the Community.
Hr. kommissær, De har ved flere lejligheder nævnt behovet for at konsolidere den allerede vedtagne lovgivning, og især har De nævnt sundheds- og sikkerhedslovgivningen.
For this reason, the fraudulent practice of posting workers within the framework of the free provi sion of services is causing the destruction of all the achievements of free movement and European citizen ship.
Med hensyn til konsolidering er jeg en smule bekymret for, om det blot er et kodeord for at læne sig tilbage og ikke gøre noget særligt i den kommende periode. På den anden side kan det betyde, at Kom missionen tager behovet for at engagere sig i omsætning, gennemførelse og håndhævelse meget alvorligt.
I mention this because, in particular, thousands of workers from my country are at this moment being exploited below any minimum standards, in different European countries, and in particular - in the most recent instances - in Germany.
For det andet forekommer det mig, at med hensyn til de grundlæggende problemer må vi spørge os selv med tiden.
For some unknown reason, the Portuguese government is opposed to the Directive on the posting of workers.
Hvis det imidlertid er tilfældet, hvordan kan det så være, at De på sundheds- og sikkerhedsområdet kun har to uddannede medarbejdere til at undersøge omsætningen til national lovgivning for hele den nu vedtagne sund heds- og sikkerhedslovgivning?
Flynn, Member of the Commission. - This whole question of working time is one of the items we raise in the White Paper. If things are going to work satisfactorily, in my opinion it is vital to have a high level of cooperation between the social partners.
Hvordan kan det være, at sundheds- og sikkerhedsafdelingerne i Luxembourg har været udsat for personale- og ressourcenedskæringer til fordel for folkesundheden?
I am a supporter of the flexible organization of work and I would even go so far as the annualization of working time.
Hvordan kan det være, at det har taget dem atten måneder blot at kontrollere omsætningsinstrumenterne til det første direktiv, rammedirektivet? vet?
I have to recognize the new realities of the labour market. Companies want more flexible staff and individuals want more choice.
Flynn, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EN) Hr. Bontempi, De nævner noget meget væsentligt, hvad den sociale dialog angår.
Right across the Union I see more and more part-time work and I see that in certain Member States that have regulations giving the right kind of social protection and the right kind of remuneration this leads to an enormous increase in new jobs.
Arbejdsmarkedets parter skal helt sikkert sikres øget deltagelse i hele udformningen af lovgivning og foranstaltninger på europæisk niveau.
We must face the realities but let us also recognize that lowpaid work will not somehow help create the necessary jobs in a particular society.
Den har ikke hidtil haft gode kår.
Let us not import a bad system into the European situation.
Hvad vil der blive gjort for at forpligte sig til en aktiv konsolidering?
I believe we have good reason to thank Commissioner Flynn for answering the questions put.
Flynn, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EN) Jeg er glad for, at De rejser dette punkt, hr. Hughes, for det er et af hovedemnerne i hvidbogen. For at sig det ganske enkelt, så ser jeg på det som følger.
Mann, Thomas (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I warmly welcome your proposed reforms.
Der er ikke megen grund til at iværksætte en masse lovgivning, blot for at det skal se imponerende ud i lovbøgerne, hvis det, der allerede er indskrevet dér, hverken er omsat til national lovgivning eller gennemført.
The work of this House must be made much more transparent and the idea of an opportunity for questions is excellent, not just for those in the Chamber but for everyone outside.
Det ville virkelig være idiotarbejde.
I also agree with the need to be brief.
Vi må respektere den særlige plads, den sociale dialog har i Maastricht-Traktaten.
But I am one of those who was not taken last time round, although I put in a request within the proper time.
Der er naturligvis lang vej endnu.
The same has happened today.
Men vi skal beslutte os til, om den sociale dialog har en fremtid, for hvis den har, skal den fungere tilfredsstillende og effektivt, hvilket ikke har været tilfældet til nu. Men vi arbejder på det, og vort diskussionsoplæg næste år vil være en god måde at finde ud af, hvad der er opnået, og hvad der kan opnås fremover.
To avoid many of us becoming frustrated that we have been overlooked, I should like to make the following proposal for the next time: Once you know who has asked to speak, could you please read out at the beginning of the question session the list of those who have asked to speak
Weiler (PSE). - (DE) Hr. kommissær, hvidbogen præsenterer en efter min opfattelse god analyse og indeholder nogle interessante problemløsningsforslag.
Flynn, Member of the Commission. — I regard the whole question of the mobility of the workforce and the freedom of movement as a very important matter and it is highlighted in our White Paper.
Indtil nu har jeg imidlertid kun oplevet nogle få show-indslag.
We will simply have to make it more of a reality.
De henviser til sundhed og sikkerhed.
That is the reason for the EURES network as well.
Jeg ved, at De er meget interesseret i det emne.
As far as the posting of workers is concerned, we have not yet been able to get a conclusion.
De vil også vide, at jeg sidst i hvidbogen har foretaget en analyse af omsætningen til national lovgivning, og det er sørgelig læsning.
I felt at our last meeting of the Social Affairs Council that the German presidency was trying to move towards a more restricted proposal dealing with one particular sector on its own, namely the construction sector.
Vi har et rammedirektiv og ti særdirektiver, og der er stadig et land, der ikke en gang har omsat rammedirektivet.
I would have given my accord to that if I had been satisfied that all the other antagonisms had been withdrawn and that we at least had a proposal in some specific area on the posting of workers.
Det er ikke tilfredsstillende.
But I have to say that things did not look good on the last occasion.
arbejdstagere fra mit land i dette øjeblik helt konkret udnyttes under enhver minimumsnorm i flere lande i Europa, i de senest forekommende tilfælde specielt i Tyskland.
Mann, Thomas definition of a local government unit and its field, we shall be in possession of a clear and secure framework for the exercise of these rights.
Hvad skal vi så gøre ved det?
and when they will actually be called?
Og vi vil følge det aktivt op med alle til rådighed stående juridiske midler.
I agree with your division between the individual political groups.
Men De kan være sikker på, at De og jeg kan tage drøftelsen om gennemførelsesprocessen op igen om fem år, og så håber jeg, at De vil sige: Hr. kommissær, De levede op til Deres ord.
But we must have an overall view, otherwise we could get the impression that the sessional services have overlooked us.
De er alle blevet omsat til national lovgivning.
I think we could all be guided by the edict: be brief, remember we want to include everyone.
Den portugisiske regering har, af uforståelige grunde, modsat sig vedtagelsen af direktivet om udstationering af arbejdstagere. Eftersom dette direktiv er helt nødvendigt for at løse denne situation, ville jeg godt vide, hvor vidt fremskreden processen med at få det vedtaget er.
Other amendments specify who is to exercise the relevant rights, who this citizen of the Union is deemed to be, and what facilities can best be offered him in order to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise of this right and to minimize the required formalities.
Hvad er det for forhindringer, der gør, at direktivet om udstationering i forbindelse med den frie udveksling af tjeneste ydelser ikke bliver vedtaget?
We cannot postpone the implementation of this right - which is one of the foundations of European integration - to some future date, as this would make the right championed completely meaningless.
Colombo Svevo (PPE). - (IT) Hr. formand, det forekom mer mig at være en fundamental ting, at den sociale udvikling er forudsætning for den økonomiske udvikling og ikke i modsætning til den.
President. - Mr Mann, first of all I wish to say that you share your fate in this question session, like the last time, with some 20 to 25 other Members who also asked for the floor but were not called because of lack of time.
Det forekommer mig at være den vigtigste del, ja vi bør ligefrem foretage et skridt fremad og sige, at socialstaten netop er en del af selve Europas identitet.
But I must say that we shall certainly have another think about the procedure to be followed in this question session.
Kan Kommissionen tage sig af dette, som i almindelighed kaldes for social økonomi?
We shall bear your comments in mind at that time.
Det må De erkende.
Municipal elections
Derfor har jeg anbefalet, at der næste år nedsættes et panel på højt niveau, som skal gennemgå alle handlingsplaner i det indre marked, så vi kan få reel europæisk mobilitet på det område.
All powers which, while exercised in the municipal field, are so exercised by delegation shall not be deemed to involve impermissible discrimination if reserved for national citizens.
Jeg ville have tilsluttet mig det, hvis jeg havde været overbevist om, at alle øvrige modsætningsforhold var væk, og at vi i det mindste havde et forslag på et bestemt område vedrørende udstationering af arbejdstagere.
Likewise, and with the same force, it must be said that it is inappropriate to use vague and indeterminate legal terms - such as the general interest, or authority - to cover the power to reserve functions for national citizens.
Men jeg må indrømme, at tingene ikke så for godt ud ved denne lejlighed. Det tyske formandsskab mener, at det kan gøre fremskridt den 6. december.
This reservation of functions is therefore warranted only in a situation where the exercise of delegated functions is concerned - i.e. ones which do not strictly fall within the competence of the level on which they are applied.
Flynn, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EN) Jeg kan fuldt ud tilslutte mig medlemmets synspunkt. Der er ikke nogen modsætning her. For mig er en god socialpolitik en del af et konkurrencedygtigt system.
Palacio Vallelersundi (PPE), rapporteur. - (ES) Mr President, Ladies and Gentlemen, who is afraid of the citizen of the Union, of the European citizen?
På den måde får man en motiveret arbejdsstyrke. På den måde får man de højeste produktivitetsniveauer, og derfor beder vi om så stor en indsats med hensyn til investering i menneskelige ressourcer.
After all, the amendments submitted to this Assembly in the report on the one hand show absolute respect for the political norms enshrined in the Treaty on European Union, while on the other they demand the retention in the highest degree of the powers of this Assembly, without exaggeration, but without setting aside even the slightest of the competences vested in us.
Jeg deler den bedømmelse, som generalsekretæren for Den europæiske sammenslutning af fagforeninger for nylig fremsatte, jeg citerer: »Det er illusorisk at tro, at man kan bekæmpe arbejdsløsheden alene med midler, der kun er et plaster på et træben«.
After all, this essential principle of equality must be considered in the context of the times in which we are living, and in these times it is appropriate for people to exercise their rights and participate in the life of the local community in two separate geographical locations, in view of the existence of modern communications and transport facilities.
Arbejde betragtes som en omkostning, men det er først og fremmest en rigdom for individet såvel som for samfundet.
Article 8b(l) of the Treaty on European Union sets out the aspiration for equality among European citizens.
Hvis kampen mod arbejdsløsheden skal have første prioritet, må der sættes spørgsmålstegn ved pengenes magt, og istedet må folks virkelige behov imødekommes.
This equality is supposed to extend to the municipal level and must take account - for which purpose the Treaty allows for certain exceptions - of the reality of the process of unification which we are witnessing.
Vi taler ikke om harmonisering, det hører ikke ind under vores kompetenceområde, men vi kan bestemt gøre meget for at fremme de konvergensprogrammer, der er under overvejelse.
Anyone who falsifies the formal declaration should be pursued with the full rigour of the law, but a right should not be rendered meaningless by the imposition of requirements which cannot be satisfied.
De kan spørge dem, der har et arbejde at dele med de arbejdsløse, mens milliarder tabes på spekulationer.
This reality also leads us to consider the role of this Assembly, and the amendments submitted are directed to this end.
Fin des der ikke der penge til anvendelse i skabelsen af arbejde?
This Assembly does not possess legislative powers, but it can and must take full advantage of the function of stirring people's consciences in the matter of European policy.
Mit spørgsmål er imidlertid, hvilke konkrete initiativer De vil tage for at fremme en nedsættelse af arbejdstiden uden lønnedgang?
As to the amendments submitted, I shall not dwell on the technical ones, as they merely draw attention to problems, rather than leading to a single solution.
Barros Moura (PSE). - (PT) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, et af de centrale aspekter ved den europæiske socialpolitik er efter min opfattelse garantien mod, at der diskrimineres mellem arbejdstagere, uanset hvilket fællesskabsland, de lever og arbejder i.
Finally, I have said that Parliament has no legislative powers in relation to this directive, but that it can and must stir consciences.
Ikke desto mindre er den bedrageriske teknik med udstationering af arbejdstagere i forbindelse med den frie udveksling af tjeneste ydelser tæt på at medføre, at alt hvad der er opnået i retning af fri bevægelighed og europæisk statsborgerskab bliver ødelagt.
In this function of stirring consciences, it must stand firm in calling upon Member States to incorporate this directive into national law so that it can be applied at the next general elections.
Jeg nævner dette, fordi i tusindvis af
In my country and in certain other Member States, special formalities will be necessary.
Flynn den europæiske borger?
Palacio Vallelersundi first century, a situation which is totally inconsistent with the agreements made in the Treaty on European Union.
Helt sikkert ikke denne forsamling, som forhåbentlig - ved at støtte denne betænkning, som jeg har den ære at fremlægge ikke kun som ordfører, men for Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppe - endnu engang vil give os et bevis på sin fasthed og klogskab i den europæiske opbygningsproces.
mandate, showing that it seems to us that this is a reasonable period in which to get to know the local situation.
Virksomhederne ønsker mere fleksibelt personale, og den enkelte ønsker større valgfrihed.
I have been granted this rare privilege, coupled with the opportunity of addressing an institutionalized political forum for the first time.
I hele Unionen ser jeg mere og mere deltidsarbejde, og jeg ser, at i visse medlemsstater, der har regler, som giver social sikkerhed og korrekt betaling, er der en kolossal stigning i antallet af nye job.
Corrie (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Regional Policy. - Mr President, may I firstly congratulate Mrs Palacio Vallelersundi on her excellent presentation this morning.
Vi må tage udgangspunkt i virkelig heden, men også anerkende, at lavt betalte job på ingen måde vil hjælpe til at skabe det nødvendige antal job i et givet samfund.
It is with a feeling of déjà vu that I rise to speak to this report in my maiden speech.
Jeg tror, at vi har grund til at takke hr. kommissær Flynn fordi han ville besvare vore spørgsmål her i dag.
And, Mr President, the destiny, the future, is that of the European citizen.
Unionstraktatens artikel 8, stk. 1, giver udtryk for ønsket om lighed mellem de europæiske borgere.
Mr President, Ladies and Gentlemen, the future is ours, the future is this Assembly.
Denne proces får os også til at pege på denne forsamlings mulighed for at stille ændringsforslag.
May I firstly pay tribute to Sir James Scott-Hopkins who retired in June and whose seat I now represent.
Denne forsamling har ikke lovgivende beføjelser, men den kan og bør udnytte sin mulighed for at ruske op i samvittigheden omkring den europæiske politik mest muligt.
He had a long and distinguished career both in Westminster and in Europe. I am sure Members from all parties would wish him a happy retirement.
Inden for hvilket område skal der ifølge traktaten være lighed? Hvis vi fastsætter, hvad kommunen og dens område dækker, har vi en klar og fast ramme for udøvelsen af disse rettigheder.
I would like to congratulate you on your first, vitally important presentation in this House, on such an important subject.
Thomas Mann (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg modtager Deres reformforslag med glæde.
Vitorino (PSE), draftsman of the opinion of the Commit tee on Institutional Affairs. - (PT) Mr President, I should like to congratulate Mrs Ana Palácio on the excellent work she did in her report and on the quality of the legal and political arguments which she brought to the debate in this plenary.
Parlamentets arbejde skal gøres meget mere transparent, og ideen med en spørgetid er virkelig god, ikke kun for de tilstedeværende tilskuere, men også udadtil.
Mr President, as rapporteur for the Committee on Regional Policy in its opinion to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, we looked closely at this report.
Jeg bifalder også, at vi skal fatte os i korthed.
It also confirms the new direction of Union policy.
Jeg anser Deres opdeling efter de enkelte grupper for rigtig.
However, the Regional Committee believes the basis of this right to be different in each case.
Men vi må have en oversigt, i modsat fald får man indtryk af ikke at være registreret af den der har forsædet.
The right to be elected and to vote in European elections is directly derived from the idea of voters being citizens of the Union.
Jeg tror, at man kan udtrykke det således: »Kære venner, fat Jer i korthed, tænk på, at vi har tænkt på alle!«
The right to vote and to stand as a candidate in municipal elections, however, appears to derive from the full freedom of establishment granted to the citizens of the Union by the Treaty of the European Union.
Andre ændringsforslag drejer sig om, hvem der skal udøve denne ret, hvem denne unionsborger er, og hvad de største muligheder er, man kan give ham, for at udøvelsen af retten bliver så effektiv som mulig, idet de formelle krav skal begrænses mest muligt.
In the first place, the Committee on Institutional Affairs agreed with a proposal to delete completely section 3 of Article 5 of the proposal for a directive, which is precisely the section which reserves offices on the executive of a basic local government unit for citizens who are nationals of the State in which they are residing.
Og endelig har vi de ændringsforslag, der vedrører tiden. Man kan ikke udsætte virkningen af denne rettighed -som eren af grundpillerne i den europæiske opbygning -for derved ville den rettighed, man kæmper for, blive fuldstændig indholdsløs.
This proposal for deletion which we formulated is intended to emphasize that this possibility of reserving offices on the executive of a basic local government unit for citizens who are nationals is contrary to the very spirit and letter of the Treaty on European Union, and to the concept of European citizenship, in addition to introducing undesirable discrimination between direct elections and indirect elections.
Formanden. - Hr. Mann, først vil jeg gerne sige til Dem, at De i denne spørgetid deler skæbne med ca. 20 til 25 andre kolleger, som også havde meldt sig, men som på grund af tidsnød ikke fik mulighed for at stille deres spørgsmål.
The proposal for a directive meets its declared objective fairly well but some comment is needed on particular aspects of the text.
Jeg vil imidlertid gerne gøre opmærksom på, at vi uden tvivl vil undersøge proceduren for denne spørgetid endnu en gang.
The Member States are extremely diverse as regards not only their electoral laws but also the structure and powers of their local authorities.
Det er mig klart, at der stadig vil være brug for tilpasninger, det er vi vel alle enige om.
This makes the task of laying down voting arrangements difficult and makes subsidiarity important.
Deres forslag vil i den sammenhæng også spille en rolle.
It is for this reason that certain exemptions were built into this directive.
Hvad angår det første spørgsmål, målet, står det klart, at denne rettighed vedrører kommunens område og dens beføjelser.
However, when these exemptions were voted on by this Parliament during the debate on the European elections, on 17 November 1993, Parliament voted to abolish the exceptions on the basis it amounted to discrimination on the basis of nationality.
