Det er derfor en fortrinlig idé at fremskynde udbredelsen af nettene ved at anvende de allerede oprettede net og ved at ophæve begrænsningerne og de juridiske hindringer, som endnu vejer tungt på disse.
For it is clear that it would be possible to offer current networks free of charge, since these networks are already financed and may even have been written off so that additional use of them could lead to distortions of competition.
Vi støtter det altså.
That is in fact a question we will have to consider in the further course of our endeavours to create an information society.
De europæiske institutioner — og i første række Europa-Parlamentet — bør sørge for, at enhver forsinkelse med hensyn til brugernes og forbrugernes sikkerhed indhentes.
Bangemann, Member of the Commission. — (DE) Mr President, once again, as so often with these individual proposals, this is an interesting debate, which is why, before warmly thanking Mr Herman for his report, I first want to remind you of a resolution that the European Parliament itself adopted.
Parlamentet støder i den anledning på to problemer.
The draft directive does not cover voice telephony.
Det er et følsomt emne.
I want to emphasize that here again.
Men bestemmelserne i artikel 90, stk. 3, svarer til et af disse tilfælde, og det her valgte retsgrundlag forekommer os acceptabelt, eftersom der er tale om at fremskynde gennemførelsen af et enstemmigt vedtaget program.
After all, nearly 90% of the revenue of telecommunications operators still comes from their voice telephony service, which means that no unusual economic effects on this service are to be expected or feared.
Bangemann, medlem af Kommissionen. — (DE) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne takke ordføreren og naturligvis også hr. von Wogau for præsentationen af betænkningen.
Since the draft directive is confined purely to services that are already being supplied or can be supplied to competitors of the telecommunications firms, the implementation of the directive will not restrict the ability of the telecommunications operators to continue fulfilling their public interest tasks.
Han har fuldstændig ret, lige som hr. Murphy.
I am saying that specifically to Mr Kühne.
Vi skal også udarbejde andre forslag.
(Interjection by Mr Kuhne: my name is Kuhne!)
De nye bestemmelser vil i al fald sørge for, at de materialer, som anvendes ved produktionen, især til sædernes polstring samt indklædning af loft og gulv, er mere brandsikre, således at passagerer ved brand i det mindste kan forlade køretøjet og har tilstrækkelig tid til at bringe sig i sikkerhed.
That may be, but I will still read out what was decided at the time, which was to call on the Commission to take immediate steps with the aim of making full use of the existing infrastructure potential of cable networks for telecommunications services and to abolish current restrictions in the Member States on the use of the cable networks for non-reserved services.
Vi håber, at vi med beslutningen meget hurtigt også kan få tilsvarende nationale bestemmelser, således at vi har klaret denne del af sikkerhed spakken for busser.
Mr Kuhne, that is exactly what we are proposing here, which is to say. if you like, that we have kept very strictly to those instructions.
Men som ovenfor nævnt må vi også give os i kast med yderligere direktiver.
We are concerned here purely with abolishing the current restrictions on the use of the cable networks for non-reserved services.
Vi forstår ikke, hvorfor Den Socialistiske Gruppe pludselig har ændret holdning til dette spørgsmål. I vort udvalg, hvor betænkningen blev vedtaget enstemmigt, har jeg aldrig hørt tale om forbehold fra denne gruppe, og så får jeg i dag at vide, at der var uenighed.
That is precisely the point, and in that respect we are not even entering into the framework of what general considerations on the information society might suggest; for the use of Article 90(3) should be interpreted more in the sense of control of a monopoly, which means control of the telecommunications monopoly in the Member States, and the abolition of unnecessary restrictions.
For øvrigt, og det vil jeg også gerne sige til hr. Murphy, er det et eksempel på, at europæisk lovgivning helt åbenbart i mange tilfælde ikke blot er udtryk for overdreven centralistisk reguleringsnarkomani, men kan opfylde reelle behov og sørge for, at borgerne stilles bedre, end de ellers ville være det i den nationale lovgivning.
But I also want to answer your objection because it raises an interesting question, namely: how far does our legislation, which of course still needs to be completed, affect the existing legal provisions of the Member States, for instance the so-called broadcasting sovereignty in the Federal Republic?
Den pågældende artikel påskønnes næppe.
But unfortunately he could not come today and asked me to clarify it in his place.
Men situationen er paradoksal: Den socialistiske gruppe er solidt repræsenteret i Parlamentet og i Kommissionen, men den sætter hellere sin lid til Rådet, hvor den er dårligt repræsenteret. Se det er et perfekt eksempel
Basically this is designed to regulate competition rather than what was the original task, namely to regulate the information society.
Herman opnås lige muligheder, fordi omkostningerne til anskaffelse af hard- og software samt andre brugergebyrer så kan blive ens for alle befolkningslag og alle regioner.
In any case, the restricted area of validity of the draft directive we are discussing here makes it no less necessary to adopt it as quickly as possible and the resolution I quoted earlier rightly emphasizes the role that cable networks can play in the near future in the development of telecommunications, since they have the typical features of a broadband network and hitherto have not been used to their full capacity.
Socialisterne vil, hvordan det end måtte forholde sig, forklare sig i denne anledning, og hr. Willockx vil uden tvivl forsvare et sådant synspunkt.
In that respect, all the CSU members can look their leader in the eye with confidence. He will continue to regard them with a gracious eye.
Vi for vores del mener, at det ville være fejlagtigt for Parlamentet at have mere tillid til Rådet end til Kommissionen, da der er tale om at gennemføre målsætninger, som vi er enige om.
However, and I have drawn attention to this point on various occasions, there will be some influence on these rights and on the special legal rales on broadcasting and television, for in the Federal Republic at least these rules derive from the basic consideration that resources are scarce.
Det er grunden til, vi har udarbejdet et ændrings forslag i retning mod en sådan gensidighed.
Some Member States have a great many cables, others have hardly any, for the present at least.
Jeg opfordrer derfor Kommissionen og Rådet til så hurtigt som muligt at fremlægge egnede forslag og træffe foranstaltninger til en omorganisering af arbejdsmarkedet.
It has been pointed out on several occasions in the Federal Constitutional Court's case law that such restrictions, which is in effect what they are, are in practice being circumvented.
Et direktiv om fjernarbejde burde for længst have været udarbejdet, for det står hævet over enhver tvivl, at fjernarbejde vil blive mere udbredt, med alle sine fordele og ulemper.
After all, not everyone can operate radios and TVs at any time.
Arbejdsmarkedets parter må også tage dette spørgsmål op og finde ud af, hvordan det skal håndteres overenskomstmæssigt.
Even Chancellor Adenauer once wanted to set up a Federal television channel but had to realise that he was restricted by this case law.
Den Europæiske Socialfond skal reformeres, således at der kan blive truffet gode efter- og videreuddannelsestiltag, som også skal finansie res. Uddannelsessystemerne må for fremtiden også tage højde for en livslang uddannelse via de nye medier.
Why are they being circumvented? Both the criteria the Federal Constitutional Court uses in order to justify these restrictions — firstly that resources are scarce, there are not an unlimited number of frequencies, and secondly that a public-law radio and a public-law television are necessary to ensure the basic provision of information — no longer in fact apply.
Da teledistributionsnettene ikke har nået samme udviklingstrin i alle landene, har vi vurderet, at det ville være godt at fastsætte en tidsramme, inden for hvilken de ovennævnte former for beskyttelse kunne fastholdes.
As Fernand Herman rightly said, the broad band and compression with digital technology offer a great many transmission possibilities.
Situationen er forskellig fra et land til et andet: I Belgien ville man for eksempel kunne blive enige om, at denne beskyttelsesfrist strengt taget ikke var nødvendig; derfor er vi på dette punkt åbne over for kompromiser. Men det, jeg synes, ville være logisk, var, at der den dato, hvor monopolet på teletalefoniske og andre former for telekommunikation ophæves, herskede liberalisering overalt, herunder også på teledistributionsområdet.
If we also include satellite transmission, we find we have a virtually unlimited number of transmission possibilities.
FORSÆDE: Alessandro FONTANA Næstformand
At any rate that is the actual situation.
Endelig vil jeg endnu en gang betone, at det vil være hovedmålet i Den Europæiske Union at sikre, at fordelene ved en billigere og kvalitativ bedre telefontjeneste og ved en bedre udnyttelse af kabel-tv-nettet samt andre fordele, som udspringer af den større konkurrence og det større udvalg, bliver givet videre til alle brugere.
Secondly, that the basic provision of information must be safeguarded by public-law radio or television is obviously not a valid argument any more either.
Og jeg gentager det helt bevidst endnu en gang: Man må på ingen måde forfordele landdistrikterne over for de tæt bebyggede områder med hensyn til adgangsmuligheder.
Since having a large number of transmitters satisfies every possible information require ment, that of course also ensures the basic provision of information.
Jeg er taknemmelig for, at hr. Herman har foreslået en dato, som gør det muligt for Kommissionen at iværksætte alle disse ting inden da, hvis Kommissionen ellers er indstillet på det, hvilket jeg slet ikke tvivler på.
In that respect one might really ask, Mr Kuhne. whether there will not indeed, in practice or in fact, be a change in the situation in those countries where restrictions for these reasons still exist.
Han har, synes jeg, fremlagt nogle særdeles gode forslag.
What are the advantages we can expect?
Kabel-tv-net kan slå bro over dette og åbne vigtige muligheder igen.
We regard these as important questions: how far does society accept this?
Det hersker der ingen tvivl om.
What will the impact be on jobs, etc.?
Willockx (PSE). — (NL) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, ærede kolleger, jeg vil gerne behandle fire punkter.
Perhaps that is an aspect that does not play such a very great role because, as has been said, the present possibilities will only be very slightly widened.
For det første vil jeg gerne principielt fastslå, at liberalisering efter min mening er i forbrugerens interesse, og at det samtidig er et svar på informationssamfundets udfordring.
But in future these arguments will play a major role, as will the question of the universal service which I was asked about again.
Det ville være dumt, også for det offentlige, på dette punkt at forsøge at forhale sagen.
I know, and I put this to the Council yesterday, that we are behindhand there.
Der er dog to grundlæggende forudsætninger, hr. kommissær.
The Commission has not so far managed to reach agreement.
For det første universel tjeneste, og for det andet en fuldstændig vandtæt gensidighed.
I say that quite openly here. Our backward ness in this area is not due to the fact that we have not worked but to the fact that we cannot reach agreement, not even in the Commission.
Denne yderligere udbygning af infrastrukturen resulterer sikkert også i nye professioner og nye beskæftigelsesmuligheder.
The problem will be how to propose a solution acceptable to all Member States.
Brugen af kabel-tv-net og teletjenester til uddannelse samt efteruddannelse er efter min mening af stor betydning.
In this regard, I would really ask you to take a look at the situation in those Member States that have already liberalized to a far greater extent than we intend to do and have still managed to maintain a universal service.
For det første, universel tjeneste.
In that respect it is a good example.
Det vi ønsker også for denne sektor, ikke kun for denne sektor — et enigt Parlament anmoder sågar om en traktatfæstet garanti for, at princippet om universel tjeneste accepteres — det, vi ønsker for denne sektor, er en meget præcis definition af begrebet universel tjeneste.
So that means, Mr Kuhne, you will be forced not by us but by technological progress — and when I say you, I do not mean you personally but the Member States that impose such restrictions — to examine whether this can still be done at all in the current form.
Det er lidt for nemt bare at sige, at vi går ind for det, vigtigt for mig er det, at universel tjeneste defineres meget præcist og meget konkret.
Then there is a second aspect, that derives more from media law, namely the consideration of the basic freedoms and rights of the individual.
I Flandern kører der i øjeblikket en debat, hvori det om universel tjeneste hedder, at kostprisen beløber sig til 50 millioner belgiske franc.
It is always said that we have freedom of opinion, which means the freedom to express and communicate our opinion.
Jeg mener også, at det er meget vigtigt at få en præcis defineret universel tjeneste, for ellers er det givet, at man forfordeles i landdistrikterne og i grænseområderne.
So there is also the right of the citizen to be freely informed by the sources that can be made accessible to him or her.
Som jeg allerede tidligere har betonet, skal der fremover også etableres grænse overskridende net til de central- og østeuropæiske lande samt naturligvis også til middelhavslandenes nabostater, hvis vi vil undgå en todeling af samfundet, en todeling mellem dem, der ved, og dem, der ikke ved, mellem dem, der har, og dem, der ikke har.
In other words, if these two criteria which have so far been used to justify such public-law restrictions no longer apply, then that second part, i.e. the basic right of the citizen to information, will acquire far more significance.
Derfor må den universelle tjeneste finansieres tilstrækkeligt solidt, og også de, der kører på frihjulet, må være med til at bære omkostningerne for denne universelle tjeneste.
So there could be Constitutional Court decisions, and not just in the Federal Republic, to the effect that the restriction to public-law television and radio is a restriction of the right to information, which is no longer justified in the framework of the modem development of telecommunications facilities.
For det andet kræver vi vandtæt gensidighed.
There are two conurbations, around Stockholm and around Malmö, i.e. in the central south and in the south-west.
Jeg håber, at Kommissionen vil tage hensyn til Europa-Parlamentets bemærkninger.
Bangemann munications networks that have in the past connected the end user via copper wires with low transmission capacity will have to be markedly increased. That is clear to all the operators.
Azzolini (FE). — (IT) Hr. formand, ærede kolleger, det er velkendt, at værdien af et økonomisk system måles på evnen til at skabe arbejdspladser og ny rigdom.
On the one hand they recognize the opportunities offered by this new information society. On the other they are not brave or bold enough to take the necessary steps.
I dag ligner de enorme industrielle fremskridt mere og mere en ny revolution, hvis følger vil blive lige så gennemgribende som følgerne af den første industrielle revolution; der er tale om en numerisk revolution, som er grundlaget for informationssamfundet.
They keep shrinking back from this, which slows down the process and makes things that really would be necessary impossible.
For det tredje en bemærkning angående proceduren.
Yet so far it has worked in Sweden.
Hr. Herman har udfordret mig en lille smule lige før, og jeg må ærlig talt indrømme, at jeg faktisk er nuanceret på dette område.
Liberalization has led neither to enormous job losses nor to the universal service becoming impossible, quite the contrary!
På den anden side har jeg selv i et tidligere liv vitterlig indledt en procedure mod Kommissionen med henblik på anvendelsen af artikel 90, stk. 3 på liberaliseringen af telekommunikationen.
Basically, the alternative is surely pointless: if I send a ten-page letter from Belgian — here I am citing a Member State that you probably know better than I do — to Spain, it will take on average seven days, a whole week.
Men uanset hvilken procedure, og nu henvender jeg mig til Kommissionen, til kommissærerne Bangemann og Van Miert, vil vi i hvert fald holde nøje øje med de to forudsætninger, som jeg har formuleret indledningsvis, idet liberaliseringens sociale betydning for os står og falder med opfyldelsen af de to forudsætninger.
If we define it too broadly, especially in the reserved sector, we will not achieve a majority for it in the Council. The countries that have already liberalized — and they are not the socially backward states but countries such as Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands — will of course never accept European rules that force them back down the road and away from the social progress they have already achieved.
Dette nye teknologiske spring frem medfører en udviskning af grænserne mellem teknologier og industrier, der indtil nu har været adskilt: EDB, den audiovisuelle sektor og telekommunikation.
For the rest it is something that other undertakings have long since done, so that these two actually now lag behind in terms of their competence, because the Commission has not yet authorized this alliance.
Dette gør det derfor muligt at skabe nye produkter og tjenesteydelser af interaktiv og multi-mediamæssig art, idet man blander de tre grundlæggende bærere af kommunikation mellem mennesker, nemlig lyd, billede og skrift.
Why can we not authorize it? Because there has been too little liberalization in Germany and France and this alliance, at least as things stand at present, would merely have the effect of strengthening the monopoly position of France Telecom in France and the monopoly position of Deutsche Telekom in Germany, and no-one can want that.
Vi kan således bekræfte, at de nationale telefonselskaber ikke vil lide nogen væsentlig skade ved liberaliseringen af brugen af kabel-tv-infrastrukturer.
You can see from that example that anyone who does not have the courage to take the necessary steps now, during this period of preparation for the information society, will fall behind and not be able to catch up.
Jeg vil blot omtale det direktiv og det betænkningsforslag, som vi forhandler om.
But if we define it too narrowly, we will not manage to finance this universal service properly, which is why we are making such heavy weather here.
Både dette direktiv og hr. Hermans betænk ningsforslag er bestemt et prisværdigt første skridt.
Now I hope we will manage to find a sensible middle road, and that is only possible if we can establish definitions that are already broader than they will have to be in the year 2000.
Alligevel vil der selv efter, at betænkningen er vedtaget, fortsat være en række spørgsmål, som må afklares.
In other words we must introduce a dynamism into this definition that shows a certain trend towards liberalization.
Der er nemlig stadig nogle uklarheder, som jeg gerne vil gøre opmærksom på her.
That is what we are endeavouring to do at present and I hope we will be able to submit the relevant proposal to you by the end of July.
Således kan den økonomiske vækst og ergo beskæftigelsen stimuleres.
And then Belgium can think up whatever universal service and reserved service for the monopolies it wants.
Parlamentet har også tidligere anmodet Kommissionen om at træffe foranstaltninger med henblik på at muliggøre en fuldstændig udnyttelse af det eksisterende infrastrukturpotentiale for kabelnettenes telekom munikationstjenester.
In the case of cross-frontier trade, common rules will of course have to be observed, including in relation to the charges for cross-frontier trade, but for the rest every Member State could spend as much money on its postmen as it wanted.
Også kommissær Bangemann har i sin beretning omtalt fjernelsen af »flaskehals«-situationen med hensyn til etablering af infrastruktur.
If we do not manage to achieve a reasonable compromise, that will be the last possibility we have.
Kabel-tv-net byder på interessante kommunikationsmuligheder, mens vi afventer den generelle indførelse af bredbåndsnet, som skal muliggøre informationsmotorvejene.
I am not asserting that it is the best one, but there will then be a possibility of shifting this dispute on the universal service onto the Member States, where it may perhaps even belong.
De positive økonomiske effekter af en liberalisering af telekommunikations-infrastrukturen er talrige og kan næppe over vurderes.
My colleagues were somewhat surprised that I was so generous as to say: 'That does not matter at all.
Det viser erfaringerne i de lande, som er gået over til at liberalisere deres markeder.
Given that we set a common date and someone wants a ten-year transitional period, I am happy to grant it.'
Informationsmotorveje vil samtidig lette adgangen til tjenester inden for sundhedssektoren, muliggøre undervisning og skabe nye muligheder på arbejdsmarkedet.
Because I was fully aware that anyone who wanted to do that would fall so far behind the competition as to impede investment of any kind. That has now been realised.
Dette er efter min mening punkter, der også skal tages hensyn til under den videre behandling, og jeg mener, at der f.eks. i ændringsforslag nr. 3 i en bisætning er kommet en nuance ind, der vækker visse tvivl. I dette ændringsforslag står der, at det som følge af de foreslåede bestemmelser »ausgeschlossen wird, daß für diese Ausstrahlung (von Fernsehprogrammen) weiterhin spezifische Vorschriften, die die Mitgliedstaaten erlassen, gelten.« Det er kompliceret tysk; jeg er ked af det, men sådan lyder den foreliggende oversættelse.
Neither Luxembourg nor Spain will make use of the transitional periods and both want to be ready by 1 January 1998.
Hvis jeg har forstået det rigtigt, så foreslås Europa-Parlamentet og hele Den Europæiske Union her at gøre noget, som jeg tror vil være et forgæves forsøg på at sætte de bestemmelser, der gælder i f.eks.
What are the expected advantages of our proposal? In coming years we expect a real breakthrough in the use of multimedia services, which can only be supplied through a broad band that is no longer available on the networks of the telecommunications firms.
Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland på delstatsniveau, ud af kraft.
That is precisely the point that concerns us.
Ifølge dette skal autoriserede, uafhængige institutioner beslutte, hvilke tv-programmer der kan udsendes via kabelnet og hvilke der ikke kan.
As a rule these networks happen to be broadband cables, which is why they can be used for multimedia services.
Vi giver samtidig vor tilslutning til udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Kultur, Ungdom, Uddannelse og Medier, hvori der foreslås en symmetrisk liberalisering af kabel-tv-net og telekommunikationsnet.
As I have said, this symmetry will only be possible after the voice telephony service has also been liberalized.
I modsat fald ville det nemlig gå ud over fælles regler for sammenkobling og fri konkurrence.
Since, however, this service still provides most of
Jeg er spændt på, hvordan de vil stemme, hvis de stadig vil kunne komme hjem og se deres ministerpræsident i øjnene.
Bangemann the telecommunications revenue, that is not an urgent matter for the moment.
Derfor burde hr. van Miert egentlig fremlægge dette forslag. Men han kan i dag desværre ikke være til stede og har bedt mig om at begrunde det for ham.
But we have taken note of the amendments and we will incorporate them in the draft directive on competition in the voice telephony market and the relevant infrastructure require ments, which we intend to submit by the end of the year.
