Betænkningen af hr. Rovsing understreger med god grund den ringe indsats inden for forskning og udvikling, som finder sted i Europa i forhold til i USA og i Japan.
Mr Rovsing's report rightly emphasizes the comparative weakness of the research and development drive in Eu rope as compared to the United States and Japan.
Selvom dette er nemt at konstatere, så mangler man stadig at finde løsningerne.
While this is easily said, the solutions have yet to be found.
Med henblik herpå vil jeg gerne gøre op mærksom på, at innovation først og fremmest er en sag for virksomhederne og for de mennesker, som arbejder i disse.
In this respect, I wish to remind you that innovation is above all a matter of business, and those who work in businesses.
Som Udvalget om Forskning, Teknologisk Udvikling og Energi med rette bemærker, er de offentlige myndigheder, hvad enten de er regionale, nationale eller europæiske, ikke de bedst placerede til at træffe beslutninger om de nødvendige kompentencer og kvalifikationer for virksomhederne.
As has so rightly been said by the Committee on Research, Technological Development and Energy, the public authorities, be they regional, national or European, are not the best place to decide on the skills and qualifications required by businesses.
Desuden vil jeg endnu en gang henlede opmærksomheden på statutten for det europæiske aktieselskab.
I also want to ask again for attention be paid to the European company statute.
Det er igen nævnt her.
It has been dropped again.
Det er tidligere ofte taget op i Parlamentet.
It was often discussed in Parliament in the past.
Undervisningens rolle og den rolle, som kombinationen af universiteter og erhvervslivet kan spille, er også overordentlig vigtig, og sidst, men ikke mindst tror jeg, at navnlig de små og mellemstore virksomheder kan spille en vigtig rolle i denne innovation, som vi alle sammen vil arbejde hen imod. Derfor vil jeg som allersidste punkt henvise til brevet fra formanden for Kulturudvalget, som er bange for, at vi først og fremmest fortsætter med at tale med hinanden, og som opfordrer os til at handle.
Also very important is the role of education, the role of the combi-, nation of universities and business and last but not least I believe that the SMEs in particular can play a large part in this innovation which is something that we all want.
Jeg tror, at det er det budskab, som vi her må lægge os på sinde.
I think that is a message we should take to heart.
Statsmagtens rolle på dette område, i øvrigt ligesom på mange andre områder, er at skabe et gunstigt miljø for virksomhedernes innovation.
The role of the authorities in this field, as in many others incidentally, is to create an environment favourable to corporate innovation.
Det er nemlig i det omfang, samfundet i sin helhed lægger virksomhedsånd for dagen, med de risici og innovationer som dette medfører, at virksomhederne reelt vil kunne skabe en dynamisk forskning og udvikling.
Indeed, it is only if society as a whole is borne up by a spirit of enterprise, with the risks and innovations that this involves, that enterprises will effectively be able to develop a dynamics of research and development.
Det væsentlige er derfor, at de nationale lovgivninger, der gælder for patenter og knowhow, virker fremmende for innovationen, men også at skattebyrden ikke er for tung og hæmmende for virksomhederne, som så ikke længere ville have råd til at investere i forskning og udvikling.
The key factor is therefore to ensure that national legislation applies to the patents and know-how which promote innovation. But we must also ensure that the burden of taxation should not be intolerable and discouraging for companies that might no longer have the resources to invest in research and development.
Man kan derfor glæde sig over, at ordføreren selv understreger nødvendigheden af at undgå overdreven lovgivning.
We therefore need to congratulate the rapporteur, who has emphasized the need to avoid excessive regulation.
Cresson, medlem af Kommissionen. - (FR) Hr. formand, de damer og herrer parlamentsmedlemmer, jeg vil gerne takke Parlamentet for den interesse, det har vist for den første handlingsplan for innovation.
The Commission on 1 July 1997 launched a pilot project - Hightech, Innovation and Technology Equity Capital - in collaboration with the European Investment Fund, to encourage private venture capital operators to invest in the start-up phases of technologically innovative projects.
Denne har nydt godt af en bred behandling, eftersom tre udvalg, Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik, Udvalget om Kultur, Ungdom, Uddannelse og Medier og Udvalget om Sociale Anliggender, Beskæftigelse og Arbejdsmiljø
Finally and in conclusion, I would like to insist on the fact that innovation can only develop in an economic and social climate which is favourable to enterprise, and that it is vain to promote special campaigns in this field and to devise assistance and incentives, if economic policy is locked up in narrow monetarism, and does not favour growth.
Det er et af de tre emner, som optræder i handlingsplanen.
The vote will take place tomorrow at 12.00 noon.
Betænkningen af hr. Rovsing giver en kritisk og berigende støtte til Kommissionens tiltag. Den opfordrer Kommissionen til at fortsætte sin indsats og endda til at gå videre på visse punkter.
in the future, and in accordance with the resolution of the European summit for growth and employment held at Amsterdam, contribute to the improvement of the potential for innovation among companies in the European Union.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er forhandling under ét om følgende mundtlige forespørgsler:
President - The next item is the joint debate on the following oral questions:
B4-0522/97 - O-O106/97, af Teverson og Eisma for Det Europæiske Liberale og Demokratiske Partis Gruppe til Kommissionen om nettet for ulovlig import af CFC-produkter fra Kina og Rusland til Den Euro pæiske Union;
B4-0522/97 - O-0106/97 by Mr Teverson and Mr Eisma, on behalf of the Group of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party to the Commission, on the illegal network importing CFC products from China and Russia into the European Union;
Punkt to er, at intellektuel ophavsret udgør en af Kommissionens prioriteringer.
The second point is that of intellectual property, and this is one of the priorities of the Commission.
Kommissionen vedtog i øvrigt den 25. juni 1997 grønbogen om EF-patentet og patentsystemet i Europa.
On 25 June 1997 the Commission adopted the Green Paper on the Community patent and on patent systems in Europe.
Denne grønbog skulle give anledning til en bred debat og munde ud i foranstaltninger, der gør det muligt at ændre det nuværende patentbeskyttelsessystem væsentligt.
The Green Paper was to be an incentive to extensive debate and was intended to result in measures for substantial improvement of the current system of patent protection.
Og som De ved, skal der gøres en stor indsats på dette område.
And you know that in this field there is much that needs to be done.
Jeg regner med Parlamentets støtte til dette tiltag, som vil være helt afgørende.
I rely on the support of Parliament in the approach adopted, which will be absolutely decisive.
B4-0523/97 - O-0107/97, af Dupuis og Macartney for Gruppen Europæisk Radikal Alliance til Kommissionen om ulovlig import af CFC'ere.
B4-0523/97 - O-0107/97 by Mr Dupuis and Mr Macartney, on behalf of the Group of the European Radical Alliance, to the Commission, on illegal imports of CFCs.
Kommissionen har ligeledes til hensigt at oprette en hjælpe- og informationstjeneste vedrørende spørgsmål om intellektuel ophavsret i forbindelse med det femte ramme program.
The Commission also intends to introduce an assistance and information service on questions of intellectual property for the fifth framework programme.
Det er meget vigtigt, at de resultater, som finansieres med offentlige midler, udnyttes bedst muligt, og denne tjeneste skulle bidrage hertil.
It is vital that results financed out of public money should be better exploited, and this service should contribute to that.
Teverson (ELDR). - (EN) Hr. formand, en af de globale miljøindsatser, der har imponeret verden mest, er Montrealprotokollen - aftalen, der dengang var enestående, mellem 24 lande om at arbejde for et forbud mod CFC'er.
Teverson (ELDR). - Mr President, one of the things that' impressed the world most in terms of global environmental action was the Montreal Protocol - the agreement, that was unique at that time, between 24 nations to work towards a ban on CFCs.
Den omfatter nu 163 lande, og CFC-produktion er nu forbudt i Den Europæiske Union, i OECD-landene, og forbuddet vil gælde i udviklingslande fra 2010.
That has now grown to 163 countries and indeed production is now banned in the European Union, in OECD countries and will be in developing countries from the year 2010.
Denne protokol var resultatet af en enestående situation, hvor ikke-statslig organisationer, regeringer og erhvervslivet alle satte sig for at løse et centralt miljøproblem.
That protocol was a unique combination of determination between NGOs, government and business to solve a vital environmental problem.
Men som det er fremgået af en række rapporter for nylig, er dette gode stykke arbejde blevet undergravet af smugling i et omfang, der skønnes til ca. 20.000 t om året, en tredjedel af verdenshandelen, hvilket har en ganske bety delig negativ indvirkning på den legale industri, der forsøger at udvikle erstatningsprodukter.
But that good work, as we have seen from a number of reports recently, has been under mined by smuggling, estimated at up to some 20,000 tonnes a year, a third of world trade, undermining quite substantially the legitimate industry that is trying to provide substitutes.
Punkt tre er, at det femte rammeprogram skal være et udtryk for, at fællesskabspolitikken for udvikling går i retning af innovation.
The third point is that the framework programme should mark a change in Community policy towards research for innovation.
Innovation skal gøres til et integreret del af de tematiske programmer.
Innovation should become a concern to be included in the operation of theme-based programmes.
Programmet »Innovation og små og mellemstore virksomheders deltagelse i denne« skal sørge herfor i forbindelse med sin koordinerings- og støtterolle, alt imens det tager hånd om sine egne aktiviteter.
The innovation and participation programme for small and mediumsized companies should be attentive to this as part of its co-ordinating and supporting role, while carry ing out its own activities.
Tilnærmelsen mellem emnerne »innovation« og »små og mellemstore virksomheder« inden for ét og samme program skal gøre det muligt i større udstrækning at gøre rammeprogrammet tilgængeligt for de små og mellemstore virksomheder, samt at få dem til i højere grad at drage fordel af sine resultater ved bedre at vurdere deres behov.
The rapprochement between the themes of innovation and small and mediumsized companies within a single programme should make it possible to open up this framework programme more widely to small and mediumsized companies, and to ensure they benefit more broadly from its results, by making a better evaluation of their requirements.
Forbedringen af administrationsmetoderne for rammeprogrammet skal lette en ændring af programmer eller
The improvement in methods of management of the framework programme should facilitate the re-orientation of programmes or projects currently in their execution phase, in the light of technological and social requirements.
Løsningen må være et forbud mod salg ikke blot af ubrugte CFC'er, som er vigtigt tiltag, som Europa-Kommissionen og en række europæiske lande i vid udstrækning har tilsluttet sig, men et totalt forbud på grund af problemet med ommærkning og manglende kontrol.
The solution must be a ban on sales; not just of virgin CFCs which is important and taken on board quite substantially by the European Commission and a number of European nations, but a total ban because of the problem of relabelling and lack of control.
Mens dette salg finder sted, må der også være et verdensomspændende, fuldt pålideligt og sporbart licenssystem.
While those sales go on there must also be a licensing system worldwide that is fully accountable and fully traceable.
Varerne blev beslaglagt og de personer, der var mistænkt for svindel, blev anholdt.
This is one of the three themes retained by the action plan.
Andre undersøgelser vedrørende situationer og produkter af forskellig karakter og herkomst er i gang.
Competitiveness and employment in Europe depend upon mastery of information, of knowledge and of adaptability.
Samtidig er der blevet taget flere initiativer for at styrke kontrolsystemet og lede efter eventuelle ulovlige forsyningskilder.
The implementation of the proposals of the White Paper on education and training, in particular Erasmus and apprenticeship, and the pilot projects such as 'Learning in the information society', should contribute to promoting innovation and ensuring its image is democratized.
Det Europæiske Fællesskab administrerer allerede en kvoteordning og en licensordning for import af disse stoffer, men det siger sig selv, at det er nødvendigt at koordinere alle parters indsats for at forhindre den ulovlige handel med stofferne.
The health of future generations, certainly in the northern hemisphere, is very much threatened by this smuggling and continued use of CFCs. I ask the Commission, which has been a strong advocate of reform, what step it is now going to take to stop this smuggling of CFCs into the European Union?
Jeg har personligt altid været en stor tilhænger af subsidiaritetsprincippet i beslutningstagningen på europæisk plan, men her er der tale om en del af et globalt miljøproblem, hvor der ikke er plads til subsidiaritet. Europa, Ministerrådet, Kommissionen og Parlamentet bør sammen arbejde for sikre de højeste standarder, således at Montrealprotokollens principper ikke undergraves, men i stedet styrkes.
In conclusion, the debate around the Green Paper and the publication of the action plan have raised awareness of the importance of innovation for company competitiveness, for growth and for employment.
Denne smuglervirksomhed og fortsatte brug af CFC'er er en stor sund hedsmæssig trussel for fremtidige generationer, ikke mindst på den nordlige halvkugle.
This report encourages the Commission to pursue its efforts and even to go further on some points.
Jeg spørger Kommissionen, som har været en stor reformtilhænger, hvad den vil gøre for at stoppe smuglingen af CFC'er til Den Europæiske Union?
Parliament's recommendations and suggestions will be taken into account by the Commission in the implementation of its action plan and in the preparation of the Luxembourg summit on employment.
De Lassus (V). - (FR) Hr. formand, vi undersøger som regel Kommissionens tjenestegrenes handlinger meget nøje, og ofte anbefaler vi dem at udvise mere handlekraft.
De Lassus (ARE). - (FR) Mr President, we generally keep an extremely close watch on the action of the Commission services, and we often recommend they show more vigour.
Salgsforbudet ville afskaffe efterspørgslen og dermed fristelsen til ulovlig handel.
De Lassus hence the temptation of illegal trade.
Parallelt hermed har Den Europæiske Union fore lagt for alle de industrialiserede lande, i henhold til Montreal-protokollen, et forslag, som ligeledes er ved at blive drøftet.
In parallel, the European Union has, under the Montreal protocol, submit ted a proposal to all the industrialized countries, and this is also under discussion.
Forordningen forpligter medlemsstaterne til at fastlægge nogle afskrækkende sanktioner i tilfælde af manglende overholdelse af bestemmelserne, men de skal naturligvis sørge for, at disse sanktioner anvendes effektivt. tivt.
The regulation lays the obligation on all Member States to set out persuasive sanctions in the event of non-compliance with provisions, but it is their responsibility, clearly, to apply these sanctions effectively.
Men i den sag, som vores kollega lige har gjort rede for, må man tværtimod opfordre Parlamentet til at lykønske tjenestegrenene, som tit befinder sig i en vanskelig situa tion, fordi de med hensyn til bekæmpelse af svindel er nødt til at afsløre svindel, som medlemsstaternes offentlige forvaltninger ofte mere eller mindre dækker over.
However, in the matter about which we have just received information from our colleague, the Parliament should be invited to congratulate the Commission services, which are frequently put in a difficult position because, in the field of combatting fraud, they bring to light fraud which very often is more or less covered by the administrations of the Member States.
Bowe (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg er glad for at høre, hvad fru Cresson siger.
Bowe (PSE). - Mr President, I am pleased to hear what Mrs Cresson says.
Det er sandelige noget andet end det, Kommissionen sagde sidste år, da fru Bjerregaard udtalte sig om emnet.
It is certainly different from what the Commission said last year when Mrs Bjerregaard spoke on the subject.
For det første vil jeg gerne bifalde rapporten fra Det Forenede Kongeriges Environmental Investigation Agency, som afslørede denne handel og omfattede de uafviselige beviser, der betyder, at Kommissionen må skride ind over for denne ulovlige handel.
First of all, I must welcome the report by the Environmental Investigation Agency which has exposed this trade and provided the undeniable evidence which means that the Commission must act against this illegal trade.
Vi skal minde om, at produktionen af CFC har været forbudt i Den Europæiske Union siden 1995. Den er sædvanligvis også forbudt i alle de industrialiserede lande, og den vil blive forbudt i alle udviklingslandene fra år 2010.
It should be remembered that production of CFCs has been banned since 1995 in the European Union, and is also in general banned in all the developed countries, and will be so in all the developing countries from 2010.
For øjeblikket accepterer vi importen af disse produkter i Den Europæiske Union på grundlag af et kvotesystem. Men disse kvoter skal jo også overholdes!
For the present, we accept the import of these products into the European Union, on a quota system.
Vi kan nu tydeligt se, at mangelen på internationalt toldsamarbejde samt den middelmådige kvalitet af samarbejdet mellem medlemsstaternes toldvæsener i miljøsager, skaber huller i den beskyttelse, som vores lande burde have ret til.
Nevertheless, we see that the lack of international customs cooperation and the poor quality of cooperation between the customs departments of the Member States, in matters affecting the environment, creates breaches in the protection to which our countries should be entitled.
UCLAF's indgreb er derfor en stor sejr, idet koordineringen inden for Den Europæiske Union synes at have båret frugt.
The intervention of UCLAF is therefore a major victory, in so far as coordination at European Umon level seems to have borne fruit.
Gruppen Europæisk Radikal Alliance ønsker at opfordre Parlamentet til at gå i retning af et totalforbud mod import af CFC inden for Den Europæiske Union.
The Group of the European Radical Alliance wishes to invite Parliament to make progress towards total prohibition of CFC imports into the Euro pean Union.
Den opfordrer kommissæren og Kommissionen til at arbejde sammen med parterne i Montreal-konventionen med henblik på at indføre en ordning med meget strenge sanktioner mod svindlerne.
It invites the Commissioner and the Commission to work in close cooperation with the parties to the Montreal Convention, in order to set up a very strict regime of sanctions against those operating illegally.
På trods af rapporten og spørgsmålene fra Sveriges Uden rigspolitiske Institut samt spørgsmål, som jeg selv og andre medlemmer tidligere har stillet, har Kommissionen været længe om at foretage sig noget i sagen.
Despite the report and questions from the Institute of International Affairs and questions by myself and other Members in the past, the Commission has been slow to act on this.
Fru Bjerregaard udtalte i maj sidste år, at Kommissionen selvfølgelig var interesseret i at undersøge rapporterne fra Det Forenede Kongerige, men at man måtte se, om der var tilstrækkeligt grundlag for at gå videre med sagen.
Indeed, in May last year Mrs Bjerregaard said: 'we obviously are interested to study reports from the UK, but we will have to see if there is enough information to take the matter forward'.
Jeg er sandelig glad for at høre, at Kommissionen endelig -endelig - går videre med sagen, men den går ikke langt nok!
Well, I am pleased to hear that the Commission is taking the matter forward at last - at last - but not far enough!
Enhver, der har undersøgt denne handel, ved meget vel, at det er et klassisk eksempel på kriminel virksomhed og ulovlig handel generelt.
Anybody who has studied this trade knows quite clearly that it is a classic example of the operations of illegal crime and illegal trade in general.
Kommissionen skal ikke blot gribe ind over for efterspørgslen, men også over for udbuddet.
The Commission must not just take action against the demand, it must take action against the supply.
Der findes helt sikkert alternativer til alle eksisterende anvendelser, og Kommissionen har været længe om at indføre et forbud mod anvendelse og salg af CFC'er inden for Fællesskabet.
There are clearly alternatives to all existing uses and the Commission has been slow to ban the use and the sale of CFCs within the Community.
Men sagen stopper ikke der, fru Cresson.
But the matter does not stop there, Mrs Cresson.
Kommissionen må også gribe ind over for udbuddet.
You have got to take action against the supply as well.
Europa-Kommissionens Enhed til Bekæmpelse af Svig greb ind, som De har understreget, for at indlede og koordinere nogle undersøgelser med medlemsstaternes
Cresson, Member of the Commission. - (FR) Ladies and gentlemen, the European Commission was warned, some time back, of illicit transactions in substances which deplete the ozone layer, and has therefore taken and continues to take measures at various levels.
sum af kun USD 27 millioner, men hidtil har der kun været ringe respons fra medlemsstaternes side.
A World Bank plan exists to buy out almost half the world's production in Russia, costing only $ 27 million, yet the response by Member States so far has been poor.
Storbritannien har tilbudt USD 3 millioner, Danmark har tilbudt USD 2 millioner, Norge - som jo ikke er medlem af Unionen, men som i det mindste er et ansvarligt land -har tilbudt USD 2 millioner.
Britain has offered $ 3 million, Denmark has offered $ 2 million, Norway - it is not in the Union, but at least it is a responsible country - has offered $ 2 million.
Amerikanerne har også tilbudt at bidrage økonomisk.
The Americans have also offered money.
Derfor kan vi heller ikke stemme for brugen af HCFC, som det anføres i forslagets punkt 7.
These inquiries have recently resulted in discover ies of illegal imports into a number of Member States (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium) of some 1,000 tonnes of CFC and halon of Chinese origin.
Det vil vi have ud, fordi det simpelthen slet ikke er muligt.
The merchandise was seized and the persons suspected of the fraud arrested.
Over hele verden møder man modstand mod et tidligere ophør med brugen af disse stoffer. Den Europæiske Union bør her, som det allerede er besluttet, foregå med et godt eksempel.
Other inquiries relating to situations and products of different types and provenance are underway.
Jeg vil opfordre Kommissionen til at lægge al sin styrke og vægt bag dette forslag om at opkøbe produktionen, at isolere den resterende produktion i Kina og sikre, at denne ulovlige handel stoppes.
I would call upon the Commission to get its full strength and full weight behind this proposal to buy that production out, to isolate the remaining production in China and to ensure that this illegal trade is stopped.
Produktionen kan opkøbes - og det er småpenge, det handler om. Hvorfor har Kommissionen ikke gjort det?
You can buy it out - it costs peanuts.
