En frakendelse af førerretten har vist sig at være et effektivt værktøj i bestræbelserne på at for bedre trafiksikkerheden.
I am not saying that we should maintain the dutyfree facilities ad infinitum, but I do think it is very bad that on the one hand we are saying to society that we are abolishing it, yet on the other hand, the planned tax harmonization - which was supposed to be further advanced than it is at the moment - and the in ternal market are not yet a reality.
I øjeblikket kan en person, der får frakendt førerretten i et andet land end sit hjemland, lovligt få den tilbage, når han kommer hjem. Det er ab surd.
I think it is extremely bad, Mr Commissioner, that we are facing society, not the Member States and the Commission, with afait accompli.
Vi ønsker derfor indførelse af et virkeligt europæisk identitetskort, og at det nuværende gammeldags fællesskabsopholdskort ændres til et kort, der giver ret til ophold og til fri bevægelighed.
Irish politicians from the main political parties are now queuing up to score points on this issue, but they should be criticized for their unflinching enthusiasm for the single market in the past.
Kommissionen er enig med fru Reding i, at der er et pres serende behov for en afgørelse fra Rådet.
When he was Ireland's Minister for Finance in 1991 he joined other EU finance ministers in agreeing that dutyfree sales should cease by the end of the decade.
Rübig (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, vi har i princippet to metoder til at sikre de mål, vi sætter for færdselssikkerheden. Den ene er det, vi diskuterer i dag, nemlig sanktioner.
Ephremidis (GUE/NGL). - (EL) Mr President, having listened to the Commissioner's speech I am of the opinion that the issue was displaced, since we were faced with a double challenge.
Vi har mange selvmord efter frakendelsen af et førerbevis. Det er virkeligt et ekstremt skridt, og man skal håndtere det med tilsvarende forsigtighed.
However, you also admitted that there would be repercussions on employment, on the ports, on travel and on the market.
Bopælsstaten vil sikre, at straffen fra udlandet håndhæves, eller at der iværksættes passende sanktioner over for lovovertræderen i bopælsstaten, samt at andre medlemsstater om nødvendigt vil blive informeret om, at det pågældende kørekort er ind draget.
However, was it the policy of each Member State individually that caused these repercussions or was it Community policy?
Betænkningen anbefaler skrappe frister for indberetnings-, anerkendelses- og gennemførelsesprocedurer. Det er et interessant forslag.
This Community policy must be responsible for coming to the aid of each Member State to put these repercussions right.
Vi har en anden metode, nemlig motivering.
However, we are not in that position.
Vi bør satse på forskningsmæssige tiltag for at forbedre køretøjernes, førernes og vejenes sikkerhed, og vi bør satse på infrastruktur, det vil sige elektroniske systemer, for simpelthen at gøre trafikken mere sikker.
The original rationale behind duty free is clearly flawed and clearly the people who had the idea never envisaged the single market which we are try ing to work towards at the moment.
I betænkningen understreger fru Reding også betydningen af et samarbejde under konventionen i det omfang, det er muligt.
If we could have banned smoking before it started I am sure we would have done so, but clearly all we can do for the moment is try and dis courage it.
Vi skal søge at etablere en procedure, der er så hurtig og enkel som mulig.
So it is there, we have got to deal with it.
Det er en prisværdig ambition. tion.
The question is, how do we deal with it?
Jeg glæder mig også over fru Redings forslag om, at en medlemsstat fremover kun skal kunne anmelde proceduremæssige ændringer, der resulterer i en forenkling. Sam tidig må vi imidlertid huske på, at konventionen er et re sultat af en forhandlingsproces. Der vil bestemt være plads til forbedringer, så vi må foretage en vurdering af konventionen et par år efter dens ikrafttræden.
We all know, because many of us in this Parliament travel as often as we do, that certainly ports and airports use the advantages of duty free to actually reduce the costs of fares and of travelling to passengers.
For så vidt skal tendensen i den foreliggende betænkning derfor hilses velkommen.
Do you know why you are delaying the study?
Gennemførelsen af dens forehavende mener vi dog ikke er vellykket.
Do you know why you will never submit it?
Bopælslandets bundethed af de ting, der er konstateret under denne stats påkendelse af overtrædelsen, bevirker, at der ikke synes at foreligge nogen garanti for, at den pågældende person fuldt ud kan udnytte de forsvarsmuligheder, som tilkommer ham i henhold til den hjemlige lovgivning.
If not, it would have been very easy for you to produce evidence to show that such and such would be the repercussions, such and such would be the tax gains.
Med mere end 45 000 dødsfald på de europæiske veje hvert år må vi tage trafiksikkerheden meget alvorligt.
You do not want to get involved in the issue of what will happen to the 150 000 people who will be thrown out into the streets.
Når først den er trådt i kraft, vil konventionen om afgørelser om frakendelse af førerretten blive et effektivt instrument til bekæmpelse af denne form for lovovertrædelser.
These young people will swell the ranks of the 20 million unemployed, made jobless by your notorious, infamous unified market and the policies you implement to promote it.
Vi vil foretrække, at proceduren gennemføres i den respektive bopælsstat.
Whether 140 000 jobs would go, as Mr Ephremidis estimates, we do not know.
Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
That decision may incorporate some adjust ments of regional funding in order to take account of that fact.
Gradin, medlem af Kommissionen. - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne starte med at ønske fru Reding tillykke med hendes værdifulde betænkning om den konvention, der skal sikre gensidig anerkendelse af afgørelser om frakendelse af førerretten.
McKenna (V). - Mr President, first of all I think it is out rageous and very irresponsible of the Commission that it should actually pursue something without first having an independent assessment of its consequences.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er en for handling under ét, om:
Thors (ELDR). - (SV) Mr President, if the Commissioner says it is possible to get support instead of the traffic which might stop, I would say this to him.
- som hr. Cornelissen nævnte, ikke ved, hvor mange job der står på spil.
Secondly, structural support is not operational support.
Men man skønner, at langt mere end 40 000 job kan gå tabt, og det på et tidspunkt med en enormt stor arbejdsløshed. Det vil have en meget alvorlig effekt i de perifert beliggende områder, fordi der som tidligere nævnt er meget få beskæftigelsesmæssige alternativer i disse områder.
I say this in reply to your statements that we should look at the support side.
mundtlig forespørgsel med forhandling af Cornelissen m. fl. for PPE-Gruppen til Kommissionen (B4-0279/98-0-0073/98) om de sociale og regionale kon sekvenser af afgiftsfrit salg i regioner, der berøres af foranstaltninger, og
But the indirect support which is available today in the form of flagging out rules is much greater and could have much more serious consequences, namely the flagging out which would take .place in ferry traffic if dutyfree were abolished.
- mundtlig forespørgsel med forhandling af Ewing og Castagnède for ARE-Gruppen til Kommissionen (B4-0283/98-0-0087/98) om toldfrit salg.
Langenhagen (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, must we re main loyal to our single market principles come what may, or are we interested in people as well?
Vi har modtaget Rådets begrundelser for at nægte at ge noverveje denne sag.
Speak to those who will lose their jobs, according to the shipping lines.
En af grundene er, at det er nødven digt af hensyn til det indre marked; men er det ikke ironisk, at der ikke findes et indre marked for så vidt angår alkohol?
We do not have any other jobs. We are fighting for our fishing industry and have just one small shipyard left.
Det er f.eks. endnu ikke lykkedes os at beskatte alkoholstyrken på en fornuftig måde.
The hinterland is rural, arable farmland and pasture, without many SMEs.
Der findes endnu ikke nogen sportsplads for alkohol.
All in all it is a rural area experiencing difficulties, soon to be without 5b status or the new Objective II status, Mr Monti.
Så den første grund holder ikke.
Agenda 2000 does not provide any security.
Den anden grund - der er sikkert mange andre, som kom missæren kan fremføre - er den, at man går glip af 2 milliarder ecu i afgifter.
1 still wonder why the Commissioner is so against making this investigation while at the same time insisting that the Commission has information about the ferry routes which are most threatened.
Men ifølge nogle af undersøgelserne er der ingen beviser for, at man vil få sådanne indtægter, selvom man ophæver det afgiftsfrie salg.
I am thinking about what lies closest to my heart, namely the most northerly all year round ferry route in the Northern Straits.
Der er selvfølgelig ingen tvivl om, at det afgiftsfrie salg i mange tilfælde påvirker lufthavns- og færgeafgifterné.
Thousands of signatures were sent in support of this route, well before any lobbying started, Mrs Aelvoet.
Det ved vi og så, men vi skjuler det ikke.
Unfortunately, those signatures were not received by Commissioner Monti.
Men jeg vil vende tilbage til virkningen af disse omkostninger, selvom de vil finde sted i de perifert beliggende områder.
The aim is to safeguard jobs in the area, but there are also en vironmental reasons for protecting the ferry links.
Jeg ved, at der skal være tale om en enstemmig afgørelse, men kunne vi ikke bede Rådet om at genoverveje sagen set i lyset af borgemes bekymring?
One study, for example, says that using this ferry link saves millions of marks on the environment.
Det er ikke underligt og i sig selv ikke foruroligende.
We are in it up to our necks, though we are working on solutions for the future.
Den irske transportminister forventer, at 30 til 50 000 arbejdspladser går tabt.
These could be implemented successfully by the coastal states, if Europe helps them.
Bekæmpelse af arbejdsløsheden og udvikling af tilbagestående regioner er prioriteter i EU.
Ford (PSE). - Mr President, let me say first of all that I recognize the logic of the eventual abolition of dutyfree.
Bl.a. på grund af usikkerheden hos mange arbejdstagere i de pågældende sektorer, mener vi, at der skal skabes klarhed på dette punkt.
We must in Europe work to phase out the anomalies in the fabric of the single market and one of these anomalies is intraCommunity dutyfree sales.
Jeg spørger derfor Kommissionen, om den er villig til at foretage en undersøgelse af de forventede følger, særligt for de mest involverede sektorer og regioner.
But in Europe we need to harmonize other things as well, or at least approximate them - levels of excise duty, VAT and other taxes.
Hr. formandjeg forventer et positivt svar i betragtning af den ansvarlige kommissærs, fru Scrivener, løfter under de parlamentariske debatter i 1990 og 1991.
Yet the problem of intraCommunity smuggling of duty-paid al cohol and tobacco is probably on a greater scale than the loss of revenue by the continual existence of intra-Community dutyfree.
Jeg er sikker på, at De også vil forstå, at Kommissionen er klar over, at et stort flertal af finansministre to gange -i november 1996 og for nylig i marts 1998 - har under streget, at beslutningen fra 1991 om at ophæve det afgiftsfrie salg inden for Fællesskabet ikke vil blive taget op til fornyet overvejelse.
The symbiotic relationship be tween the coast and inland areas, between economically weak and economically strong areas, has been successful with duty-free, though seldom sufficiently so.
Whiskyindustri en er en meget vigtig arbejdsgiver i områder, hvor der ofte ikke findes andre former for beskæftigelse.
I do not think that anyone in Europe can be insensitive enough to wilfully destroy these achieve ments.
Jeg vil gerne følge op på hr. Comelissens indlæg: Jeg gentager ikke, hvad han sagde, men jeg støtter fuldt ud hans krav om en dybtgående undersøgelse.
The cost of unemployment benefit and restructuring projects will far exceed the tax revenues lost on duty free sales, and no fiscal harmonization is in sight anyway.
Det irriterer mig, at kommissionsmedlemmet med ansvar for skatter lovede dette i no vember 1990 og maj 1991.
The question is why is the abolition now, why is it so urgent and why are we doing it in the dark?
Hr. Monti mødte op i EMAC-udvalget, og jeg var til stede ved den lejlighed, hvor vi præsenterede ham for disse spørgsmål, og han forholdt sig ikke-angrende og muntert til det faktum, at man havde afgivet et sådant løfte uden at kunne holde det.
There have been a number of studies done by a variety of people. Many of those on both sides of the argument are possibly flawed but they have indicated at various times a potential loss of something between 112 000 and 147 000 jobs in the EU, with 90 % of those job losses in a period of two years of the abolition of intraCommunity dutyfree with major impacts on employment in Spain, France and the United Kingdom.
Jeg kunne stadig godt tænke mig en forklaring fra Kommissionen på, hvorfor man ikke holdt dette løfte.
The European Commission has claimed that dutyfree is costing Member States' exchequers ECU
Kommissionen er flere gange, også under den aktuelle mødeperiode, blevet spurgt, om den agter at undersøge konsekvenserne af en ophævelse af det afgiftsfrie salg. Svaret er kort.
2 billion in lost revenue yet there are some studies that claim that the result of the abolition of dutyfree will be that Member States will be worse off because of increased transport costs and other tax losses.
Svaret er nej. Der er ingen grund til at gen nemføre sådanne undersøgelser.
There have been claims that it will cost the average person taking a charter flight in implicit costs, adding up all the
Lad mig endnu en gang forklare hvorfor.
I therefore demand further examinations of the regional effects.
Da Kommissionen mellem 1989 og 1991 diskuterede beskatningsreglerne med Parlamentet i forbindelse med oprettelsen af det indre marked, erklære de det daværende kommissionsmedlem med ansvar for beskatning sig villig til selv at gennemføre en undersøgel se af de sociale og økonomiske konsekvenser for alle de
Perhaps there is also a legal interpretation which permits an exemption, as there was for sea travel to Heligoland, thejewel of the North Sea.
Vi har selvfølgelig gennemført andre undersøgelser.
The Transport Council has decided this in the meantime.
En undersøgelse fra en af Parlamentets undersøgelsesafdelinger var årsag til nogen ængstelse hos borgerne, fordi vi,
I would like to ask you, Mr Monti, and those Members who oppose dutyfree sales, to follow this route.
der kan forekomme specifikke regionale problemer, og træffe passende foranstaltninger, herunder forskning i samt vurdering og evaluering af lokale eller regionale virkninger på baggrund af hvilke, medlemsstaterne kan basere deres egne krav.
It has been claimed that EU destinations will become less competitive than nearby non-EU destinations, that Turkey will benefit at the expense of Greece, that there will be a loss from the United Kingdom of 635 000 visits a year within the EU, partly offset by a rise of 124 000 extra visits to non-EU destinations.
Det vil imidlertid være op til medlemsstaterne at identificere så danne problemer og vurdere, hvilken indsats der eventu elt vil være passende.
Under such circumstances, you are not in a position to ac cuse us of being late in taking part in the debate, when for years you yourself failed to respond.
Hvis medlemsstaterne derefter ønsker at søge støtte fra Fællesskabet, må de følge de gældende procedurer: f.eks. de procedurer, der gælder for strukturfinansiering.
It was also men tioned earlier that you were asked questions during Par liament's Question Time.
Sagerne ville så blive undersøgt sammen med Kommission, og der ville blive truffet afgørelser på baggrund af kendsgerningerne for den enkelte sag.
There is a Latin proverb, a Roman law adage I am sure you know, which goes: 'Nemo auditur proprium turpitidinem allegans ' - none shall in voke their own turpitude.
Kommissionen holdt også det kompetente parlamentsudvalg velinformeret om de løsninger, man blev enige om. Jeg må under strege, at Parlamentet efter at have modtaget disse oplysninger aldrig omtalte de planlagte undersøgelser igen, indtil for ganske nylig.
In any case, Mr Commissioner, you do not have the right to refuse Parliament or the citizens of Europe an analysis of the consequences of the decisions you take, simply be cause a decision has already been taken.
Ved at vedtage en sådan særlig ordning, der i det store og hele eliminerer behovet for en undersøgelse - syv et halvt år er mere end en undersøgelse - tog Rådet hensyn til de samfundsøkonomiske dimensioner af afgiftsfrie aktiviteter, hvilket klart afspejles i de afsnit, der starter med »under henvisning til« i de pågældende direktiver.
So that is the problem we face. Now despite what the finance ministers claim to have said, the reality is that on 17 March this year - less than three weeks ago - at the in itiative of the Irish delegation on the Transport Council and with the support of eight other Member States, namely Sweden, Belgium, France, Germany, Finland, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom, there was a de mand for a study of the possible employment and financial effects of the abolition of dutyfree in June 1999.
Den 18. marts i år vedtog Kommissionen som en del af Agenda 2000-pakken sine nye forslag til forordninger om driften af strukturfondene.
He said Community funding might be available to help al leviate the impact, but the impact is going to be short and sharp immediately after the abolition.
Sø- og lufttransport er en del af servicesektoren. toren.
Yet he refuses to al low for regional employment impacts to be assessed in advance.
Hvis man sammenligner denne lange undtagelsesbestemmelse med de løsninger, der er præsenteret for andre pro fessioner, der er påvirket af lovgivningen vedrørende det indre marked, f.eks. speditører, der modtager en omstillingsstøtte med videre på ca. ECU 30 millioner, så kan man ikke sige, at en syvårig periode med en årlig omsætning på omkring ECU 7,5 milliarder er nogen dårlig be handling.
Malone (PSE). - Mr President, I too am amazed that Commissioner Monti, having had time to reflect on the discussions we had earlier this week at Question Time and having heard the strong feelings that the majority of the House - we, the messengers of the people - have on this issue, is not prepared to relent, even at this very late stage, and give us a more positive response.
Endvidere ville det ikke blot være uberettiget men også en smule uansvarligt af os at iværksætte en undersøgelse på nuværende tidspunkt.
Tomorrow Parliament will vote for the resolution de manding such a study.
Det ville modarbejde den nødvendige og stærkt forsinkede justering af industrien, som var den primære årsag til, at der blev givet en syvårig undtagelsesperiode.
The Council of Ministers is al ready in favour of such a study by nine votes to six at worst.
Kommissionen ønsker ikke at sende de forkerte signaler.
Why is it now that the Commission alone sets its face against such a study that it initially promised?
Jeg tror faktisk, at hvis De ser tilbage i Par lamentets protokoller, så vil De opdage, at undersøgelsen
Well I must say, the arrogant way in which the Com mission has responded to our legitimate questioning makes us literally feel as though we have been stabbed in the back.
Jeg vil geme komme lidt mere ind på de regionale virkninger, der omtales i spørgsmålet.
So how does the Commissioner reconcile that with just getting rid of all these jobs in one fell swoop?
Jeg glæder mig over denne regionale dimension, der koncentreres om nogle reelle, specifikke og begrænsede problemer, der kan opstå som følge af en ophævelse.
The accusation the Commissioner made here that it is for people in favour of abolition and that we who are against it want to support the hidden subsidies to the alcohol, tobacco and travel industries is not true. It is very simplistic.
Kommissionen understreger imidlertid det faktum, at det vil være op til de enkelte be rørte medlemsstater at overveje om, og i hvilket omfang
I appeal to the Commissioner to give us a more favourable response this evening, because the vote tomorrow will go in favour of the study, and it is time for the Commission to face up to that.
Miller har været efterspurgt i et stykke tid.
(The speaker was interrupted by Mr Cox)
besvares, og jeg mener, at en undersøgelse ville kunne af klare disse punkter, og derfor vil jeg opfordre Dem til at tage sagen op.
Noone can escape logic. Believe me, I am deeply com mitted to making taxation policy in Europe favourable to employment.
I dette forslag opfordres der til at gennemføre en undersø gelse af de økonomiske og sociale konsekvenser af en op hævelse af afgiftsfrit salg.
Monti, Member of the Commission. - I would like, first of all, to thank each of you for your remarks.
Der er ikke tale om en fortsæt telse af det afgiftsfrie salg.
The Com mission is not making any particular proposal.
Det synes jeg, man skal slå fast fra starten.
Some of the remarks assume the Commission was making proposals.
Jeg lyttede meget opmærksomt til Deres tale, hr. Monti, og jeg ved, at De ved flere lejligheder har sagt nej til at gennemføre en sådan undersøgelse, selvom det tidligere er blevet lovet.
This was a decision taken unanimously by the Ecofin Council in 1991.
Jeg forstår de grunde, De nævnte.
The Commission is not pushing for an ything.
Da De oprindeligt sagde, at det afgiftsfrie salg skulle op hæves den 1. januar 1993, var det hensigtsmæssigt med en undersøgelse i tiden op til dette tidspunkt, men da man vedtog en undtagelsesbestemmelse frem til 1999, var undersøgelsen, som De siger, ikke længere relevant.
As was made clear, the reference made by my predecessor, Mrs Scrivener, to the study was to the effect of identifying whether or not the decision to abolish duty free should take effect on 1 January 1993 like all the other measures concerning the single market. You know what the outcome has been: no study, but a seven-and-a-half year postponement.
Cornelissen (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, jeg er forbavset og skuffet over kommissærens negative svar.
President - Ladies and gentlemen, I would ask you please not to interrupt the Commissioner.
Dette svar fra Kom missionen er ikke i overensstemmelse hermed.
The Ecofin Council has repeatedly stressed its unwillingness to ask the Commission to do this study.
Det vidner også om megen lidt respekt for de titusinder af arbejdstagere i denne sektor, der gør sig store bekymringer.
Monti, Member of the Commission. - I am grateful to those of you - and there have been some - who have noted the constructive approach that I brought here this evening.
Svaret går også på tværs af borgemes Europa, som Kommissionen så gerne taler om.
One is to identify what specific difficulties a particular regional air port or ferry line might have.
Det kan man dårligt vifte til side med, at undersøgelsen er et forkert signal. Vi er da voksne nok, hr. formand, til at vurdere dette korrekt.
There is one way in which the Commission can be helpful and that is to identify the appropriate instruments of regional policy, of transport policy that might, in the event that there are serious problems, be helpful.
Vær nu så venlig, kommissær, af hensyn til vores Europa, lyt til de folkevalgte.
I have committed the Com mission to do that, not the phantom study which by now in the public perception could be associated with a reconsideration of the deadline for dutyfree.
Vi har be mærket, at der er gennemført adskillige undersøgelser, og at mange af disse har konkluderet, at der vil gå arbejdspladser tabt, mens andre har konkluderet det stik modsat te.
There were questions concerning the important issue of whether there are clear rules that are going to be applied after June 1999 or not.
Kan jeg sige, at jeg ikke tror på nogen af undersøgel serne?
Yes, I can be very positive and re assuring in that respect.
