Højere rentesatser skader på deres side tilliden hos forbrugerne og erhvervslivet, hvilket har uheldige følger for privatforbrug, investeringer, produktion og beskæftigelse.
Surely it is the obligation of Ecofin to consider the Commission text and not to allow the interference of central bankers in a text which should of course have been presented to it first for consideration.
Som det så rigtigt påpeges i retningslinjerne, betyder budgetkonsolidering ikke bare budgetnedskæringer, men også en omdirigering af regeringernes udgifter i retning af investeringer og menneskelig kapital. Jeg vil vende tilbage til dette punkt.
We would also perhaps have liked to have a little bit more attention paid to the questions raised elsewhere in paragraph 4 of our resolution, particularly in the sixth indent where we refer to the creation of an environment where employers in the European Union are encouraged to take on workers.
Afslutningsvis så spiller udenrigspolitik og eksterne relationer, som Irland som en lille medlemsstat skal forvalte på vegne af formandskabet under dette vort femte formand skab, en langt større rolle end under vore tidligere fire formandskaber.
I would have liked, as rapporteur, to have had something more specific, drawing attention to the burdens imposed on employers, because we did draw attention in our resolution, paragraph 8, to the need to reduce non-wage labour costs, particularly at the lower end of the wage scale.
Denne debat har været meget gavnlig og betimelig, og formandskabet har hørt på den med stor intéresse og mener, at den er et værdifuldt bidrag til den udvikling af de europæiske institutioner, der i øjeblikket er i gang.
That indeed is referred to as well in our paragraph 4, sixth indent, because it is the impact of high social costs or taxes on jobs at toe lower end of the wage scale which is contributing to maintaining uncomfortably high levels, particularly of youth unemployment.
Afstemningen finder sted i morgen kl. 11.30.
My second point concerns the relationship with Parliament.
Det erkendes i retningslinjerne,- at der kræves en væsentlig forøgelse af investeringerne for at nå og opretholde en høj økonomisk vækstrate.
We have a better relationship with the Commission where we meet regularly with Commissioner De Silguy.
At forøge investeringerne væsentligt kræver øget tillid, strukturpolitik og løntilbageholdenhed. Herudover vil løntilbageholdenhed hjælpe med til at forbedre konkurrencedygtigheden i Unionens økonomi, der på sin side vil forøge Unionens evne til at skabe bæredygtige arbejdspladser.
Would the President-in-Office of the Ecofin Council, be prepared to meet with a delegation of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Commit tee perhaps early in September to see if, during the early weeks of the autumn, we' can thrash out a new relationship which will strengthen toe relationship between Parliament and the Council during the crucial period running up to the conclusion of economic and monetary union?
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er redegørelse fra Rådet om de overordnede retningslinjer for medlems statemes og Fællesskabets økonomiske politik.
On the question of uncomfortably high levels, I would like also to draw attention to the points that we made in our resolution, recital B, to the historically high levels of unemployment here in the European Union: currently 18 million people unemployed with 50 million suffering from social exclusion. Not a very creditable reflection on the famous European social pact.
Quinn komme med henstillinger forud for det uformelle møde i ØKOFIN-Rådet i Dublin i september.
Cassidy reference in paragraph 4, seventh indent, to the need for us to study the best practice in the 15 Member States and elsewhere, particularly in the United States, to identify policies which can achieve results in bringing down unemployment. ployment.
Dette vil på sin side bidrage til øget udbytte af investerin gerne, forøget vækstpotentiale og en lettelse af byrden ved at betale renter og afdrag af gælden for medlemsstaterne.
were asking for an effort to be made to reduce interest rates, as the OECD has called for, in order to offset the negative aspects of the economic climate brought about by budgetary cuts, in order to boost economic growth, without which it would be very difficult to achieve EMU which, as the Irish presidency and the European Parliament have shown, is our end objective.
Retningslinjerne anbefaler også så vidt muligt at omdirigere regeringernes udgifter i retning af produktive aktiviteter såsom investeringer i infrastruktur, menneskelig kapital og aktive arbejdsmarkedsforanstaltninger, uden at bringe de nødvendige reduktioner af budgetunderskuddene i fare. Retningslinjerne erkender imidlertid også, at man må supplere fornuftige makroøkonomiske politikker med strukturpolitikker, der har til formål at øge effektiviteten og jobskabelsesaspekterne for både produktet og arbejdsmarkederne, hvis man effektivt vil håndtere arbejdsløsheden og i særdeleshed den hårde kerne af strukturel arbejdsløshed.
Having said all that, however, I congratulate the President-in-Office, thank him once again for his courtesy in re sponding so promptly to our request in June and wish him a successful six months.
Det drejer sig for det første om en omstilling af de offentlige udgifter i retning af investeringer; for det andet om skabelse af et gunstigt miljø for jobskabende virksomheder; for det tredje om at analysere sig frem til den bedst mulige praksis for arbejdsmarkeds- og uddannelsespolitikken i de enkelte medlemsstater.
This means we have to find ways of striking a good balance between toe correct application of monetary policy and the necessary structural reforms, including proper measures in the other three areas which the President-inOffice of the Council mentioned.
Med dette i mente og for at forøge beskæftigelseselementet i væksten, trækker retningslinjerne på henstillingerne i Kommissionens hvidbog om vækst, konkurrencedygtighed og beskæftigelse.
Theonas (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President, the Council appears, without justification, to be optimistic about the future.
Det vigtigste element i denne strategi er foranstaltninger til fjernelse af forhindringerne for beskæftigelse, aktive ar bejdsmarkedspolitikker og ændringer af strukturen i den måde, vare- og arbejdsmarkedet virker på.
Its assertions are the same as those of a year ago when the previous proposals were adopted and simply bear out the fact toat the expectations expressed at that time have not been met and that since then economic activity in the Union has slowed down markedly, unemployment has risen again and the gap between the actual level of economic and social prosperity and the level that was projected remains in broad terms undiminished.
Medlemsstaternes forpligtelse til at gøre noget ved arbejdsløsheden har ført til vedtagelse af et flerårigt beskæftigelsesprogram på nationalt plan.
Garosci (UPE). - (LT) Mr President, two of toe four main priorities the Irish presidency of the European Union has set for this six-month period concern economic issues: efficient finance and employment.
Desværre må jeg dele Europa-Parlamentets opfattelse af, at medlemsstaterne har været længe om at gennemføre retningslinjerne.
In fact, half of our activities should concern social and policy issues, whilst toe other half should concern economic matters.
Jeg deler Deres utålmodighed over tempoet i fremskridtene, og jeg agter at arbejde for at forøge det.
This is why the broad guidelines the Council is required to set out in this area are of at'least equal importance on toe European stage.
Men det er muligt, at virkningerne af visse positive foranstaltninger midlertidig kan have været skjult af dæmpningen af den økonomiske vækst.
The Community was born of the economic sector and has grown to include the social sector; it must now seek a fair balance between the two.
Det forholder sig også sådan, at visse foranstaltninger vil være nogen tid om at vise positive resultater.
The point is that the approach to those problems is to remain unchanged and that still toe Council is optimistic.
Efter min opfattelse er den holdning, der har karakteriseret retningslinjerne siden 1994, stadig gyldig. Men jeg erkender, at vi har et alvorligt problem med gennemførelsen af dem.
Resolute in its perception, the Council intends, according to the latest proposals and the general content of the convergence programmes, to continue with and harden the policy pursued in the previous period and to impose reductions in public spending, especially in social spend ing, the increasing of taxation revenues, a reduction in real incomes, deregulation of the labour market and a continuation of toe privatization policy.
Nødvendigheden af en bred vifte af arbejdsmarkedsreformer er blevet understreget af Rådet.
The failure of confidence in the European Union, which the Council itself acknowledges, can be traced to the philosophy and ideological choices pursued by the Union in determining the actual content of those proposals, in shaping out the content of the economic and social policy which it and the Member States have been implementing for many years.
Hvad vi tænker på er en forbedring af den beskæftigelsesmæssige og regionale mobilitet og effektiviteten af arbejdsanvisningen.
Reality shows that the objectives are specious and the means ineffective and that a radically different approach is needed.
Desuden betragter Rådet en reform af uddannelsessystemet som værende af vital betydning, så at flere mennesker kan blive udstyret med de færdigheder, der kræves på dagens arbejdsmarked. Men Rådet har også gjort det klart, at arbejdsmarkedet ikke bør bære byrden ved tilpasning alene.
That said, we believe that today's broad economic-policy guidelines should focus primarily on small and mediumsized enterprises: although, individually, these enterprises are representative of the micro-economy, together, they are of macroeconomic importance, because of their number, which amounts to some 18 million in toe European Union.
Vi trænger til mere effektive markeder for produkter og tjenesteydelser for at skabe investeringsmuligheder.
I shall leave you to do toe simple equation concerning new jobs.
I sin rapport til Det Europæiske Råd i Firenze sagde Kommissionen, at den ville intensivere sin dialog med arbejdsmarkedets parter om makroøkonomiske spørgsmål.
I am referring, in particular, to tourism, which the Irish presidency has rightly included among its priorities, but I am also referring to the crafts sector, services and the commercial distribution system.
Jeg agter nu at gå over til nogle af de områder, hvor Parlamentet har udtrykt bekymring i relation til retningslinjerne. linjerne.
We should like to see increasing attention, matched by appropriate resources, being paid to these four sectors - com merce, tourism, services and the crafts sector.
Jeg tror, at gennemførelsen har været langsom af to hovedårsager.
We feel sure that Commissioner De Silguy has this clearly in mind.
Man kan ikke skrive samfundskontrakten om fra den ene dag til den anden.
Our thanks and best wishes to our Irish colleagues.
Jeg tror, at Parlamentet og Rådet er helt enige om, at en bæredygtig, ikke-inflationsskabende økonomisk vækst er af afgørende betydning for at håndtere arbejdsløshedens svøbe og den sociale udelukkelse, der ledsager den.
Gasòliba i Böhm (ELDR). - (ES) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I should like to welcome the beginning of the Irish presidency and the Irish presidency's good will to cooperate with the European Parliament.
Be skæftigelse er noget, som vi begge i fællesskab er optagede af, og det er naturligvis noget, der optager borgerne i Fællesskabet.
I should like to make a general remark, given that Mr Cox and Mr Watson have referred to much more specific subjects.
Der er ét område, hvor jeg føler, at Rådet ikke kan dele Parlamentets opfattelse, i det mindste som jeg forstår Deres beslutning: Det drejer sig om Deres anmodning om en lempelse af pengepolitikken.
The workers, who are the main victims of its policy choices, will denounce the policies which are impoverishing them and driving them to the wall and will fight, with the support of others, to get them changed.
Rådet mener, at renteniveauet ikke ligger i de monetære myndigheders hænder, men i sidste instans er afhængigt af, at man når en tilstrækkelig sanering af statens finanser og af passende reaktioner fra markedet.
The delivery of the people's verdict via referenda on the course imposed by the Maastricht Treaty, on economic and monetary union and on the changes that will result from the intergovernmental conference will, I feel sure, make clear the general disapproval of these policies. That is the conclusion that the Council should be thinking about.
Deres anmodning om at referere til artikel 2 og 105 i traktaten er mere et spørgsmål om stil end om substans.
The President-in-Office of the Council mentioned four areas - monetary, budgetary, labour markets and structural reform.
Rådet har altid ment, at det er en forudsætning for en bæredygtig vækst og beskæftigelse, at man holder inflationen på et lavt niveau.
Hautala (V). - (FI) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, you say that you do not wish under any circumstances to relax monetary policy and that you continue to be concerned about inflation.
Quinn svækkelse af finansmarkedernes tillid, hvilket i sidste instans vil føre til en forøgelse af den lange rente.
Do you really believe, Mr President, that under these conditions it is sufficient merely to have the courage to hold tö the EMU timetable?
Dette vil efter min og Rådets opfattelse svække investeringsmulighederne og det fornyede opsving og føre til negative indvirkninger på vækst og beskæftigelse.
In my opinion this does not seem even advisable. It is, however, clearly not possible to admit this in toe face of market forces.
tikker, der er bedre for vækst, og som blev fjernet fra Kommissionens tekst, og ligeledes - angående konvergensprogrammerne - henvisningen til, at disse programmer klart bør angive, at de foranstaltninger, der skal forbedre konvergensen, ledsages af fremme af vækst og beskæftigelse på mellemlang sigt.
deshable it may be - and absolute inertia regarding the definition of other instruments of economic policy which would be necessary supplements to the monetary instrument in order to enable the Union to steer its economy efficiently.
Budgetmæssig konsolidering og lempelse af pengepolitik ken kan forenes, men her må vi have en balance.
In this context, we believe it to be entirely deshable that supplementary instruments should be defined as a matter of urgency.
Hvis man kunne nå frem til troværdige planer om budgetmæssig konsolidering og aftaler, der ville føre til moderate lønstigninger, så kunne markedets forventninger blive påvirket positivt, og betingelserne ville så blive mere gunstige for en bæredygtig lempelse af pengepolitikken.
In the budgetary area, first of all, we should - without awaiting the end of the application period for the Delors II package - begin to give toought to what the Union's budget wiU be at the time when monetary union is in force.
Kan rådsformanden forklare os Det Monetære Udvalgs rolle her?
Does heland intend to do anything about this serious problem?
Det er da ØKOFIN's pligt at se på Kommissionens tekst og ikkètillade, at folk fra centralbankerne blander sig i en tekst, som de naturligvis først skulle have haft forelagt til overvejelse.
Do you intend to contribute to altering the priorities of taxation so toat the exploitation of natural resources and the pollution of the environment are taxed more heavily and employment and labour less heavily?
Jeg kan forsikre medlemmerne af Parlamentet om, at det irske formandskab vil gøre sig al mulig umage for at fremskynde gennemførelsen af retningslinjerne i en positiv og konstruktiv ånd og med særlig vægt på behovet for langt stærkere vækst i beskæftigelsen.
Additionally, as regards taxation, which was mentioned just now, this is another area where action needs to be taken to move towards harmonization, first the harmonization of direct taxation.
Herudover vil Rådet udarbejde sin fælles årsberetning om beskæftigelse til det normale møde i Det Europæiske Råd i Dublin.
Mr Monti recently gave an excellent account of the way labour in Europe has been overtaxed for several years: how can this be remedied without a poUcy of harmonization of direct taxation?
Jeg vil også henlede Deres opmærksomhed på, at det irske formand skab organiserer en konference om lokale beskæftigelsesinitiativer i november i år.
And, over and above that, we should no doubt give consideration to a Union tax, a Community tax, which would enable toe Union to be a union of citizens also.
Det andet, jeg vil sige, drejer sig om forholdet til Parlamentet.
Thirdly I would like to ask whether you have any initiatives in mind regarding the preconditions for international action on the economy?
Vi har ikke noget særlig godt forhold til Rådet, når det gælder økonomiske og monetære forhold.
Do you intend to take any new initiatives towards coordinating monetary policy at international level?
De mål at nå en stærk, bæredygtig økonomisk vækst og at forøge beskæftigelsesintensiteten i denne vækst, får betydelig opmærksomhed ikke bare i de.overordnede retningslinjer for den økonomiske politik, men også i Kommissionens og Rådets videre arbejde.
Randzio-Plath (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, I very much welcome toe fact that the Irish presidency has emphasized that the Maastricht Treaty not only calls for the achievement of monetary union but also for European union in the fields of economic and social affairs and employment, and so the challenge of combating mass unemployment has rightly become a priority of the Irish presidency.
I alt dette arbejde findes der en klar erkendelse af, at det er nødvendigt, at vi tager fat på dette alvorlige problem med vort høje arbejdsløshedsniveau og den sociale udelukkelse, som det medfører.
Castagnède (ARE). - (FR) Mr President, we were all delighted to hear the Irish presidency this morning, and Mr Quinn just now, saying once again that the matters of employment and growth would be given priority.
Men det er nødvendigt, at vi holder opmærksomheden rettet mod beskæftigelsen og intensiverer debatten om de bedste politiske reaktioner, der dækker en bred vifte af initiativer.
At the same time, though, it is impossible not to be struck by a contradiction between this declaration of priorities and the content of toe guidelines proposed by the Council of Ministers regarding the economic policies of the Member States.
Kan rådsformanden i løbet af sin embedsperiode sikre, at ØKOFIN, særlig i forbindelse med stabilitetspagten, foretager denne sondring mellem at låne til investeringer, der da må være acceptabelt, under omhyggeligt definerede omstændigheder, og at låne til løbende udgifter?
And since rigid monetary policy is not being subjected to critical scrutiny as the European Parliament has requested, I wonder just how monetary policy, along, with economic policy, employment policy, structural policy and industrial policy, is supposed to achieve investment-led growth that will create jobs.
De drøftelser, vi har her i dag, vil efter min opfattelse bidrage væsendigt til en intensivering af denne debat.
As far as those guidelines are concerned, in fact, they amount to no more than a restatement of those previously announced in earlier years which, to summarize, comprise monetary stabilization as a foundation for -a policy of reducing public spending and a policy of imposing a ceiling on wage costs, or even reducing them.
Jeg ser frem til Parlamentets, Rådets, Kommissionens og medlemsstaternes fælles bestræbelser for at forbedre poli tiske initiativer i retning af det mål at skabe beskæftigelse.
Does that sound like a recipe for renewal of growth and increased employment?
I alle vore overvejelser bør vi holde os for øje, hvad der til syvende og sidst står på spil: Alle vore børns fremtidige liv, velfærd og værdighed.
We think not, and to judge by the results of the economic policies pursued in recent years - especially in the year that has just ended - the opposite seems more likely to be the case: a slow-down of growth and worsening unemployment.
Det fjerde spørgsmål drejer sig om stabilitetspagten.
This question cannot be answered if we do not also take stock of our monetary policy, which is why I hope that the Irish presidency wiU step up its efforts to find an answer, because it simply cannot be in the interests of Parliament to speak here of a lax monetary policy.
Vi her i Parlamentet er meget nervøse over, at der er dem. der ønsker at fremme en stabilitetspagt uden for traktaten om Den Europæiske Union. De ønsker et nyt arrangement mellem regeringerne.
On the contrary, we have to ask how monetary policy can help to achieve the objectives of economic and monetary union, namely greater growth, sustained growth and above all higher employment levels.
Vi ønsker rådsformandens forsikring om, at stabilitetspagten vil stemme nøje overens med betingelserne og ånden i traktaten om Den Europæiske Union, og at han, når han forelægger denne stabilitetspagt for Parlamentet, i løbet af sin formandsperiode vil sikre, at den også passer meget nøje sammen med prioriteringerne fra topmødet i Essen.
We do not want economic and mon etary union to be merely a milestone in our monetary history; we want it to benefit the people of this European Union.
Alan Donneliy (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne takke formanden for ØKOFIN-Rådet for hans forelæggelse i dag, men også for den måde, hvorpå han allerede har lovet Parlamentet at sikre, at vi får et bedre forhold til ØKOFIN, end vi har haft tidligere.
When I assess the underlying economic policy principles, I also wonder how the years that stiU lie ahead can be used to make it even clearer, by means of the economic policy guidelines, that we need a political strategy at European level for the things we can no longer regulate at national level.
Cassidy (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil på min gruppes vegne gerne takke rådsformanden, hr. Quinn, for den grundige og omfattende måde, han har formuleret Rådets reaktioner på de overordnede økonomiske retningslinjer på.
What Europe needs is confidence - not just market confidence but consumer confidence, too, and the way to consumer confidence is through a future without unemployment.
Det glædede mig i særdeleshed, at han over for os har rejst og gentaget et antal punkter fra vor beslutning af 19. juni.
Yet we see nothing in toe proposals by the Council of Ministers specifically designed to provide a swift cure for the drastic employment situation in the European Union.
Jeg vil gerne meget hurtigt behandle fire spørgsmål og håber, at rådsformanden vil få mulighed for at svare på dem.
Furthermore, we are also struck by a growing contradiction between toe march towards monetary union - however
Der er et par spørgsmål, som jeg gerne vil drøfte yderligere med ham, men må jeg først oprigtigt takke ham, fordi han har bemærket vort punkt 11, hvori der står, at Parlamentet finder det meget vigtigt, at det irske formandskab er til stede ved Parlamentets mødeperiode i juli for at fremlægge henstillinger i henhold til artikel 103, stk. 2, i traktaten.
The globalization of markets has not left Europe un touched, and even though the single market and monetary union are appropriate responses to this challenge, there is still a pressing need to establish a framework governing the operation of the social market economy at European level.
Mange tak, hr. rådsformand, fordi De har taget dette forslag ad notam.
I should very much welcome toe Irish presidency coming
Vi henviser til dette i punkt 4 i vort beslutningsforslag, 4. led, hvor vi udtrykkelig siger, at den nuværende holdning er baseret på ønsketænkning.
reduce their pubUc deficits is necessary if we are to attain these objectives.
disse, selvom de hver for sig repræsenterer mikroøkonomien, dog tilsammen i kraft af deres antal, som er på ca. 18 millioner i Den Europæiske Union, har makroøkonomisk betydning.
If anything puts employment at risk it is the uncertainty and instability generated by a failure of toe common monetary project.
